The White Hawk Feather glanced at Gan Zhixuan, who was leaning against the back of his chair, staring at the secret military letter in his hands without batting an eyelid.

"Young General, please wait for a moment. I will arrange it immediately."

The White Hawk Feather didn't say anything more. He bowed and left the tent. According to the list that Helian Manqiu had given him, he would prepare those things. In front of Helian Manqiu, he could not say much. He was prepared to wait for her to leave and let her take a look at the list.

These few pieces of paper contained countless military supplies, weapons, horses, food, clothes, armors, medicine …

There were also a lot of people. The worst part was that the number of people far exceeded the share of more than 10,000 people. Helian Manqiu also wanted money to pay the soldiers and settle their families.

A heartless smile appeared on Helian Manqiu's face as she drew a beautiful crescent moon shape on her lips. She turned her head to look at Gan Shixuan. Her one hundred thousand taels of silver was not that easy to obtain.

When Gui Chen saw the enchanting smile on Helian Manqiu's lips and the light flowing from her eyes, he couldn't help but cast a strange look at Gan Shixuan. In his eyes, this young general was somewhat strange.

"My lord, this lowly general wants to continue recruiting new troops from all over the military state. Is that true?"

She walked to the side of Gan Zhixuan's desk and sat down. She rested her chin on her hands as she looked at the military affairs of Gan Zhixuan. She picked up the military affairs and secret letters on the table and flipped through them.

Gui Chen frowned as his eyes flashed with a strong killing intent. Who would dare to read the lord's secret military report? This young general was too unreserved and daring to the extreme.

Gan Yuxuan acted as if he didn't see Helian Manqiu flipping through those things; his eyes darkened instead. His gaze didn't move, but the corners of his eyes didn't leave Helian Manqiu's hand.

Helian Manqiu was bored to death as she casually flipped through the secret military letter. She conveniently sorted them out and arranged them in a corner of the table. Soon, the secret letter and the secret letter were divided into several piles.

Without saying a word, she fixed all of these tasks well, placed her hands on her cheeks again and watched as Gan Yuxuan handled the matters of public service. As expected, this fellow was quite handsome. Compared to the beauty of the king, the king was like a piece of beautiful jade that had been under thought for many years. It was warm and clear, and Gongzi Xuan was like a piece of ice jade on the peak of the snow mountain.

"Master's words are really beautiful."

"Return the word that I gave you last time."

Gan Yuxuan raised his eyes to look at Helian Manqiu, who curled her lips and said, "My lord's calligraphy is too good, I can't bear to return it to my lord, and have kept it for myself." My Lord, why don't you give me a few more words? "

"Wait."

"My lord, I've just asked for you. My lord, are you willing to accept?"

"Yes."

"Thank you, Lord, for your benevolence. These people that were recruited are all under the Lord's command. The military salaries should be allocated by the Lord."

"I will give you three months. I will check for myself. Only those who are qualified can be considered my subordinates. Those who are not qualified can be dealt with by you. I won't raise useless people."

The tone of Leng Ning's voice was merciless and cold, laced with the chilliness of the peak of a snowy mountain.

Three months!

Helian Manqiu counted on her fingers. What was three months to do?

Three months of time was used to train the new army. Not to mention the first thing they had to do in these three months, even if they had to recruit new soldiers, the expenditure of these three months was enormous. Where did she steal the money from?

The barbeque business that she had been working with the Fang family recently had also begun preparations for the opening. It required a large amount of silver coins. Where would she get the money to prepare it?

It was a good idea to blackmail King Chen again. However, he had just extorted 100,000 taels of silver today. That little fox was not easy to deal with.

"My lord, this lowly general has no money left in his pocket. I shall borrow some silver from my lord first before paying it back in the future."

Her delicate, jade-like hands were sparkling and translucent, like the petals of a flower that had been stretched out in the wind, as she stretched them out in front of Gan Yuxuan.

Gan Yuxuan looked at the delicate hand in front of him for a moment. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand to grasp Helian Manqiu's hand, and used his fingers to lightly knead Helian Manqiu's hand a few times.

Helian Manqiu slightly narrowed her eyes and looked at Gan Xianxuan with a smile. Was this person trying to tease her in her face?

Gui Chen widened his eyes and looked at his master in disbelief. His master … He actually wanted to hold a young man's hand. Could it be that my lord...

No, that's impossible.

How could their lord, such a valiant man, like a young man?

Although that young man was indeed a rarely seen beautiful young man, he had followed his master for five years. However, he had never seen his master having the slightest bit of interest in a beautiful young man.

He looked at Gan Shixuan, then at Helian Manqiu. Both of their hands were clasped. The lord's expression was as cold as ever, and his gaze rested on the youth's hand for a long time.

Could it be that this young general was interested in his master?

Gui Chen was even more confused. He hastily lowered his head, pretending that he didn't see anything.

"Qingyu has practiced martial arts for many years, right?"

"I have practiced martial arts since I was young. Master, how much are you willing to lend me?"

Gan Yuxuan released his hand and raised his head to look at Helian Manqiu. His expression was cold and without ripples. His deep eyes looked as far as the eye could see: "How much does Qing Yu want to borrow?"

"Two hundred thousand silver."

Helian Manqiu's lion mouth opened wide in a bid to double the amount of silver that had been taken away by Gan Shuxuan.

After hearing Helian Manqiu's words, Gongxuan didn't say anything for a moment. He indifferently looked at Helian Manqiu. Helian Manqiu walked to Gan Jianxuan's side and bent down with her head lowered. Her lips were almost next to Gan Jianxuan's ear and she whispered a few words in a low voice. Even Gui Chen wasn't able to clearly hear what this young general had said.

Jia Xuan suddenly raised his hand and took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve. He placed them on the table, and without even looking at Helian Manqiu, he lowered his head and continued to read the military intelligence.

Stretching out his hand, he picked up one of the books from the closest pile. After reading it, he opened it and picked up another copy.

Helian Manqiu smiled as she took the banknotes from the table and put them into her pocket. Without saying a word of thanks, she turned around and left Gan Jianxuan's side. She returned to her bed and lay down on it.

Gui Chen looked at the thick stack of banknotes taken away by Helian Manqiu. He didn't know how much money his lord had given to the young general, nor what kind of ability this impoverished young general had used to return the money to his lord and when he would return it to him.

He whispered a few sentences into the lord's ear and took a huge amount of silver taels from the lord's hands. The young general was the first person to do so.

Then, he picked up another pile. He suddenly stopped and picked up a few piles of military intelligence and secret letters that were placed in different locations and flipped through them a few times. Only now did he realize that these secret military information letters were all arranged according to the importance of the situation.

He glanced back at the youth lying on his bed. After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and continued reading.

Only in the evening did Helian Manqiu climb down from her bed and walk around in the big tent.

"My lord, will my lord stay the night here or return to the manor? It's late, please take a rest, my lord. "

Gan Yuxuan stopped and felt slightly tired. He got up and walked a few steps inside the tent before turning around to look at Helian Manqiu, "Qing Yu, I want to leave the Military Region. What are your plans?"

Helian Manqiu looked up at Gan Shixuan and said, "As long as you follow me, I will naturally follow you wherever you go. I just hope that you will not be a burden."

"You want to go with me? Don't you want to stay in the military state?"

Helian Man pouted her pink-white lips. Ever since she had transmigrated over, the blood color on her face and lips had never recovered. At a glance, she looked extremely delicate and weak, as if she had yet to recover from a serious illness.

"All these years, I haven't even stepped out of the city gate of the military region that many times. If I have the chance to see the world with my lord, please don't throw me away."

She reached out and grabbed Gan Jianxuan's sleeve in a childish way. She looked at Gan Jianxuan with a pitiful gaze. As for whether she should stay or take her away, she didn't really mind. Although she wanted to leave with Gan Jianxuan and continue searching for his secrets, she really couldn't leave the military state at this moment.

Everything had just begun, there were too many things that needed to be arranged.

Gan Yuxuan stared at Helian Manqiu for a moment. He couldn't tell whether this kid's words were true or false, but he still didn't seem to be true. With a bit of a childish, innocent air, he acted coquettishly and imploringly.

"You want to follow me? Can you let go of the military state?"

"With Master's arrangements, there's no need for me to trouble myself. It's good for me to eat a leisurely meal by Master's side."

With a single sentence, he was completely speechless. If this brat was willing to live an easy life, would he be stingy in raising someone who could eat for free?

"Qing Yu, if you are willing to eat under my rule, I will never lack your food and clothing. Do you think you are that kind of person?"

"Sigh …"

Helian Manqiu sighed as she held her forehead. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but there were too many people who wouldn't allow her to do so. First, she was targeted by the unscrupulous Helian Shan father and daughter, and the terrible mess in the military state was thrown at her.

Now that she was being watched by the king, she knew that more people would be after her soon.

"I only wish to keep a low profile about the bright pearls of dust and the gold contained in the rubble. That is what I wish for."

The corner of Gan Zhixuan's mouth slightly curled. When he saw Helian Man's bright and slightly unscrupulous smile, his mood suddenly became better and relaxed.

"You should stay in the military state for the time being." You should stay in the military state for the time being.

He placed both his hands on Helian Manqiu's shoulders and pressed with a little bit of strength. Helian Manqiu returned his hands and placed them over Gan's big hands. While touching them, she asked, "Master, when will you leave? How long will it take for you to return?"

"We will depart in a few days. When will we be back?"

"My lord, if you leave for too long, may I pay my respects to my lord in the future?"

Gan Yuxuan retracted his hand, "I'm waiting for your order."

"Yes, this lowly general obeys."

Helian Manqiu lowered her head. Right now, in the army camp, there was a difference in status between the upper and lower class. It was also good to stay in the military state for the time being and she could use this time to carry out her plan.

Gan Yuxuan got up and returned to his residence. Helian Manqiu also returned to his residence. In the back of his house, Lu Keyu once again dressed and bandaged Helian Manqiu.

White Hawk Feather entered Gan Zhixuan's room and presented the bill that Helian Manqiu had given him today. "My Lord, this is the list that the young general has given me today. Please have a look."

Gan Yuxuan took the form and looked at it carefully for a moment. That kid really dared to take it!

"Give it to him!"

Gan Yuxuan said in a low voice as he returned the list to the white eagle feather.

"Yes, this subordinate will obey, cough cough …"

White Hawk Yu coughed lightly and stepped back a few steps. "My lord, your subordinate will go prepare these and deliver them to the young general as soon as possible."

"If you are ready, send them to me tomorrow. I will settle this matter before I leave."

"My lord is leaving the military? When are you leaving? "

"In a few days."
