"Qing Yu, you are still young, you might want more in the future. As long as you treat me with all your heart, I won't let you down. Your future position might even surpass your lord's! "

Helian Manqiu suddenly felt that it was too cheap for this Prince Chen to use a few words to get her help.

A heartless smile appeared on her pale lips. Helian Manqiu stretched out her hand to cover King Chen's hand as she leaned forward and whispered to him.

Prince Chen's face was a little solemn. He stared at Helian Manqiu for a moment and smiled, "I have made up my mind and will give you more. Qingyu, what others can give you, I can give you. What others can't give you, I can also give you!"

"Your Highness, I understand."

"In the future, this grandpa will give you even more, only this grandpa can give you more."

"Your Highness, I dare not hope for too much." Your Highness, I dare not hope for too much.

Helian Manqiu said with a smile. The promise King Chen had given her was too distant and illusory, like the promise of a swan flying in the sky. King Chen agreed to wait for that swan to lay down the golden egg and give her one. Who knew where the swan would land, or whether it would lay a golden egg when it landed?

She suddenly thought, "If that swan were to land, it would be a male. That would be the greatest tragedy in the world."

A radiant smile appeared on Helian Manqiu's face, and she drew a beautiful crescent moon shape on her lips. Fortunately, she had never placed her bets on King Chen, nor had she been moved by his promise. If this prince didn't have a face that was too similar to her brother's and also had the identity of a prince, she wouldn't even bother to give him a second glance.

The two toasted each other and discussed for a long time. Helian Manqiu did her best to obtain many benefits from King Chen's hands.

"Your Highness, I dare not harass Your Highness for too long, today I will take my leave. When Your Highness leaves, Your Highness will be escorted out of the city."

"Qingyu can go back first. I'll tell you when I leave."

"My Lord, today Helian Qing went to see my lord Duke Chen and had a long talk with him."

Before Helian Manqiu walked out of the teahouse, the news had already passed through to Gan Zhixuan's tent time and time again. What Helian Manqiu had said to Prince Chen had also entered his ears many times.

Gan Zhixuan was silent as he listened to the secret report of the hidden guards, not saying a single word.

Gui Chen couldn't see through his master's thoughts or intentions. Today, all the generals of the military state were waiting in the barracks, cautious, respectful, and low-key. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly. These generals were still resting in their tents near the main tent, waiting for orders from their masters.

Only the young general who had once wanted to be inseparable from his lord had not appeared today, pleading for leave.

Prince Chen ordered his men to carry Helian Manqiu out of the teahouse. His eyes were deep and unfathomable as he stood up and looked down from the window for a long time with a bitter smile on his face. This kid really knew how to take things.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed through Wen Wen's eyes. Helian Qingyu, do you need to do something wrong? I can give you the money needed for the Silver Army's financial aid, as long as you are loyal.

"My Lord, are you giving Helian Qingyu too much?"

Prince Chen sneered. His eyes flashed with coldness, "Of course the Crown Prince has paid for all this. He is always very generous when he does it." That's it, I don't really care, he's willing to give me some inventions, and the profits are far more than that. Even if I give him a share of the profits, let's see how he does it. "

"Master is wise."

Helian Manqiu sat in the carriage and glanced at the blood sword that was lazily sitting on the carriage. The conversation she had with King Chen today should have been reported back to that lord. Now, she still wanted to personally make a trip and pay her respects to that lord.

After entering the army camp, he reported the news and entered the main tent of Gan Zhixuan's army headquarters. Gui Chen who was inside the main tent retreated under Gan Zhixuan's instructions. Even for him, there were some things that he shouldn't know.

From afar, the Blue Luan silently watched as Helian Manqiu turned the wheelchair and entered the big tent, her heart filled with bitterness. Even that young man could enter and exit the master's big tent at any time.

"Greetings, my lord."

From the corner of his eye, it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. His handsome face, which was like a rock on a snowy mountain, had a layer of indifferent coldness to it. His cold and sharp lines were perfect from any angle.

"My Lord is still as good-looking as ever."

He saw that Gan Yuxuan didn't even look at her, so he lazily pulled the wheelchair over to Gan Yuxuan's side, and laid on the table with his head on his hands, looking at him.

Both of them were silent. Gan Xuan didn't speak. Helian Manqiu also didn't speak. She was bored to death as she continued drawing on the white paper with a pen.

From time to time, he raised his eyes to look at Gan Youxuan. On the white paper, a handsome face like snow appeared, but his dark eyes were unmoved. Indeed, this person's facial features and handsome statue-like face could be painted at any angle.

The charcoal in her hand was smeared with ink, and her beautiful face was as vivid as a piece of paper.

Her thin lips slightly curled upwards, revealing an unscrupulous smile. Her eyes were as deep as a pool.

His gaze landed on the tip of Helian Manqiu's brush, and the color in his eyes became even deeper. He had heard that this young general had always liked writing essays, but he had never expected that his painting skills would also be this high.

"My lord, how is my painting?"

Seeing that Gan Jianxuan had noticed the painting in her hand, she made a face at him, then added a few strokes and pushed him in front of her. "My Lord, do you want to see how I paint?"

"Very good."

Gan Yuxuan picked up the piece of paper with his profile picture on it, folded it and stuffed it into his sleeve without even looking at Helian Manqiu.

Helian Manqiu was speechless. If she knew this person was so thick-skinned, she wouldn't have expected him to be so thick-skinned. Without even asking, she had taken away her painting.

"My Lord likes it. At the end of the next day, I will draw a better painting and present it to my Lord."

"Qingyu has time to get these useless things?"

"It's not too useless. Maybe if the lord likes it, he will reward us with something. It wouldn't be a small matter if the lord were to reward us with anything."

Hearing Helian Manqiu's words, Gongyue Xuan cast a sidelong glance at Helian Manqiu. He dared to act like this boy. Just yesterday, he had received punishment, but today, he was standing in front of Helian Manqiu with a mischievous smile. However, he didn't know that he was being punished for using such a stratagem the previous day. He was not sure if he would be dissatisfied about that.

"Did Duke Chen say when he would leave?"

"No, today I will ask him. He said that he will notify me when he leaves. I don't think that it is necessarily because he is sneaking away. Master, will you let him leave safely? "

With that sentence, Gonggong Xuan Feng's eyes narrowed into two dangerous arcs. He looked at Helian Manqiu with an unmoving expression: "What does Qing Yu think I will do to His Highness, Prince Chen?"

"Maybe, maybe not in person."

With a blink of his eyes, Helian Manqiu released the electricity in her eyes. For a moment, Gan Yuxuan looked at Helian Manqiu and said, "Qing Yu's eyes are sick, so you should be treated as soon as possible. If Lu Keyu's medical skills are not good enough, Master will send someone to treat you."

Helian Manqiu had to cover her forehead with her hands as she laid on the table helplessly. She turned her head to look at Gan Yuxuan who took out a silver note from his belt and gently put it on the table, "This is the first money that was given to me by King Chen. There will be more in the future."

Seeing such a large amount of banknotes, Gongye's eyes darkened. He looked at the endless black, glanced at the banknotes, and then acted as if he didn't see anything. His gaze landed on Helian Manqiu's face.

Helian Manqiu softly told him everything she had said to Prince Chen without missing a single word. She also didn't hide anything from Xue Jian and the others when they were chased out of the restaurant. There was no need to hide it from Gongsun Xuan. King Chen thought he had kept it a secret. He didn't know that Gongsun Xuan had already known about it.

She thought that the subordinates of Gongxuan must have a very tight intelligence network to monitor the area and transmit information.

There were probably spies in the capital as well. Everywhere Prince Chen left the capital, he would be in the control of Jia Qingxuan.

If that was the case, then this matter was simply too interesting. As a great official of the northern border, Gongxuan was a powerful official. He had set up spies all the way to the capital, and even the whereabouts of the princes could not escape his eyes.

"My lord, this general does not hide anything and admits all of this. My lord, please do not look at this general like that, this general will be shy."

Gan Yuxuan humphed. He stopped looking at the notes and said, "Qingyu is so capable that he could get a huge amount of money from the Chenchen king. But I've treated you too lightly. Have I treated you badly?"

"The lord is serious. This is not my intention. Now is the time to use money in the military. If the king is willing to give this money, this general will be embarrassed to not take it." The way this money is disposed of will be decided by the Lord. I am only willing to be a pawn under the Lord. "

"You want to listen to this lord's words? Don't be so unruly. If you dare to violate the military rules again, and you dare to speak rudely, this father will not forgive you next time." "Don't you dare think that you can escape at such a young age. This grandpa's military rules are strict. No matter who it is, don't think that this grandpa will be merciful."

"This lowly general has gained from this, and would never dare to violate the Lord's military rule. This lowly general has received kindness from the Lord, and has not gained any bit of merits. However, I ask for the Lord's services, and nothing else."

All of a sudden, he felt that he could not see through this young man. With the backing of King Chen, he turned around and sold King Chen to him. Even those secretive words told him clearly, was he truly loyal to him, or was there some other scheme?

As a prince, he was someone the emperor and the crown prince relied on. Why did he abandon his betrayal to serve the king?

"Qingyu has given up on a great opportunity. His Highness Chen-King is talented, compassionate and courteous. He is highly valued and trusted by the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Qing Yu will soon become famous if he follows King Chen. He won't be short of high-ranking officials. "

"Those are all very good. It's a pity that I don't care about them."

Her smile was as calm as the clouds and she did not seek for a good name. If she could, she would rather be like the Blue Luan, able to get closer and closer by giving him a chance to see through his essence and secrets.
