That night, Helian Manqiu had come to pay her respects to King Lu for a banquet and a welcoming reception. The Law King noticed that Helian Manqiu was not present. Thinking about the young general's complexion and body that day, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Marquis Xi Tian, why hasn't Helian Qingyu come?"

"Your Highness, Helian Qingyu is severely ill, and his old injury recurs and he is confined to his bed. Therefore, I cannot come forward to welcome Your Highness. Please forgive me."

Gan Zhixuan slightly lowered his head, rose, and bowed to apologize to King Lu.

That kid, was pretending to be sick to avoid the King of Law, or was it for him to see?

Helian Man was pretending to be sick, yet she wanted him to beg for forgiveness in front of the Law King and find an excuse to make Gan Zhixuan feel depressed. Seeing how much the Law King valued Helian Manqiu, this time, he had suddenly come to the military region to investigate personally. In the name of inspection, he should have heard about the matter of the youth and come to see Helian Qingyu.

Today's matter was rather strange. When King Lu saw the expression and eyes of Helian Qingyu, he could understand.

Who would not want to accept such a talented youth under their command and use him for their own purposes? Even he could not let go of that youth, much less someone like the King of Law.

King Chen and King Lu appeared one after another, which made Gan Yuxuan feel a sense of crisis.

The last time King Chen showed up, Gan Jianxuan had sent many men to monitor his activities and the relationship between the Kingdom of Chen and Helian Manqiu.

This time, the law king had come with a high profile and was perfectly justified. If the law king really wanted to recruit Helian Qingyu, he wouldn't allow it. Helian Qing was the acting military general ordered by the Emperor to guard the military region. This position should remain in the military region. Even though the Law King was a noble prince, it was impossible to transfer Helian Qing Yu away.

The only thing that the Law King could do was express his goodwill towards Helian Qingyu and rope him into secretly working for the Law King.

Gan Yuxuan was very happy to see Helian Manqiu feigning illness. This way, the Law King wouldn't even be able to see her face to face, so there was no need to talk about Shun and rope her in.

However, the young general today, after seeing King Lu's expression and expression, had caused great misgivings to arise in Gan Zhixuan's heart.

Why was that youth so shocked when he saw King Lu?

Yes, it was shock, disbelief in his eyes, shock, surprise, doubt …

Could it be that he had met King Lu before and didn't know his identity?

No, that was impossible. He should not have seen the Discipline King. Before this, King of Law had never come to the Military Region, and Helian Qingyu had never left the Military Region. Therefore, it was impossible for the two of them to have met.

According to his knowledge, Helian Qingyu was born in the Military Region. In the past fourteen years, it seemed that even the Military Region's city gates rarely left the city. He had always stayed in the military state and stayed there. He had always preferred to study, refused to practice martial arts, and didn't know how to practice martial arts.

However, the rumors weren't enough to convince him that not only did Helian Qingyu know martial arts, his martial arts weren't weak either.

Where did his talent, his erudite knowledge, and his many wonderful ideas come from?

Too many questions were pressing down on Gan Zhixuan's heart. He had been observing Helian Manqiu the entire time, and looking at her. This young general had surprised him many times, and every time, he'd thought that the brat would always bring him many surprises after understanding and seeing through the young general.

He did not expect that Helian Manqiu would not hide anything from him. He was not surprised that she had refused to accept him. What surprised Jia Qingxuan was that she had secretly given him the money and told him everything.

Gan Yuxuan wasn't sure if Helian Manqiu would also reject King Chen.

After all, when that kid saw King Lu today, his performance was too strange, causing others to be unable to understand what he was thinking.

"Is Qingyu's injury serious?"

He had heard that a few days ago, when the imperial edict had arrived in the military region, he had accepted the imperial edict. For some reason, that young general had angered Jia Yu Xuan, and he had been publicly slapped, whipped, and punished to kneel until night.

However, King Lu believed that it was definitely because the imperial edict only bestowed Helian Qingyu and the warriors of the Military Region with the title, causing Gan to be dissatisfied in his heart.

It could also be possible that Helian Qing Yu had spoken a few sentences and defended himself against something, and that Helian Xuan had taken the opportunity to punish him in front of everyone, in order to establish his might.

Such an outcome was what he was happy to see. He was only one step away from obtaining the Military Region. However, he didn't expect it to end up in the hands of Gan Yuxuan.

After giving up his Xuan Qi, he arrived first and effortlessly took over the military region. Not only did he obtain the military region's tiger wolf and tiger soldiers, he even obtained the astonishingly talented young man.

The Military Region was what King Lu wanted. Helian Qingyu was also what King Lu wanted.

When he thought about how he was only one step away from getting the military state, and how Gan Shuxuan had ruined such a good thing, the Law King felt as if there was nothing left to vent his anger on.

He could not vent his anger on Gan Shixuan, and even more so, he could not reveal it to others. He had offended Gan Shixuan. What he needed to do was to do his best to express his goodwill and gain the support of Jia Yue Xuan. Although the position of the crown prince had long been decided, he was still his father on the throne.

If the dust did not settle in one day, he would not give up.

He thought that he was a hundred times stronger than the ignorant crown prince. He did not understand why his father would choose his younger brother as the crown prince and not give him this position.

In his opinion, randomly choosing a prince to be the crown prince was also better than the current crown prince.

It was a pity that his usually ambitious little brother, Duke Ming, was in too much of a hurry. He lost and fled far away from the northern border. This way, he would have a strong competitor.

Originally, if he could obtain the military state this time, then he would have the most favorable conditions for the throne. General Helian Shan had given most of the military state to Gan Xianxuan's subordinates, not him.

Helian Shan had resisted his army to the death all the way to the military region. He would rather die than surrender.

When he met Gan Yuxuan's subordinates, they were only Gan Yuxuan's subordinates. Not Gan Yuxuan himself, Helian Shan continuously retreated, not even having a real battle. He retreated all the way to the military state to defend.

These things, in addition to the matters of the military region, had caused King Lu to be extremely furious.

As a noble prince, was he not as good as a prince?

"Your Highness, please."

Gan Zhixuan raised his cup with both hands and toasted to King Lu.

King Lu's lips carried a dark smile as he raised his cup and said, "Congratulations to the Marquis for his miraculous achievement of clearing out the Duke of Ming and his many achievements. Now that he has obtained the Military Region without any bloodshed, he has made the foreign forces flee for their lives. He is truly an unprecedented talent for our Great Hengkong."

"Your Highness is too kind, this subject does not dare to accept."

Gan Yuxuan's expression was as cold and respectful as usual. He raised his cup with both hands and gulped it down …

Your Highness, please do as you please. "

The Law King raised his glass and downed the wine as well. His gaze swept across his surroundings. At tonight's banquet, there were some of Gan Zhixuan's underlings, as well as some of the military region's old tribes. His gaze swept across all of the military region's old tribes.

"Your humble servant greets the marquis and has heard of his name for a long time. It's a pity that the marquis has always been stationed at the northern border and rarely has the chance to meet the marquis. It's my honor to meet you today."

The trusted subordinate of the Law King raised his glass and stood up, bowing to Gonggxuan to toast him.

Gan Yuxuan raised his goblet slightly and the man laughed out loud, "The marquis has led the warriors of the northern border and has done wondrous things many times. I presume that the arrival of the royal decree is due to many rewards. Generals, you should all step up to the ranks and receive generous rewards. This lowly officer wishes to congratulate all the generals here. "

Hearing this person's words, Gan Zhixuan remained silent, but his eyes turned deep.

This person was obviously trying to sow discord, because on the face of King Lu, none of the generals could give him any face at all. After all, they were all by King Law's side. If they didn't want to look at him, they had to look at him.

The generals raised their cups and carelessly touched them to their lips. No one was willing to drink this cup.

Gan Yuxuan raised his hand and drained his cup in one gulp. Only after he finished his wine did the others drink their wine as well.

"Thank you for your kind words. Your Majesty, I've ordered this marquis to guard the northern border, and now you've handed over the military state to this marquis. This is something Your Majesty values greatly." From the start, all the generals and colleagues have been extremely grateful to the Emperor. The Emperor should guard this place and exterminate all the foreign races in order to repay the Emperor for his grace. "

"Your Lordship is right, you are right. I wonder what kind of reward your Lordship has received this time?" This lowly official was truly envious. It was a pity that this lowly official was weak and did not have the ability of the marquis and the other generals. This humble servant has always admired and toasted the duke. "

The man raised his glass again and drained it in one gulp.

Gan Zhixuan only placed the wine in his cup to his lips and took a sip.

As a noble general, there was no need to be overly courteous to those who held lower positions than him. However, he had to give this person some face on account of King Lu.

He knew full well that this person had intentionally sowed dissension in front of all the generals, but it was not easy to expose him, lest he ruin the face of the Law King.

"Your Highness, it should have been this subject who went to pay his respects to Your Highness, I didn't want to trouble Your Highness by coming here. There's no entertainment in the military, only crude martial artists. However, I've ordered them to compete in martial arts, fight with His Highness for a smile, and let His Highness have his way, how about it? "

"Alright, I also want to see the abilities of these valiant warrior generals under Marquis Mizar's command. I have heard for a long time that the Marquis of Mighty Heaven is capable of leading troops, and today is also a day to broaden our horizons. "

"Understood."

Gan Yuxuan turned around and looked at the generals, "Today, Your Highness has personally come to this place. In order to allow Your Highness to have a hearty time, you can compete with me here and cheer Your Highness up. "I don't know who will be the first to come and cheer for His Highness, to reward him with a smile."

"Heh heh, This King will definitely reward the victor to cheer up."

King Lu followed up with a word, willingly cupping his fists in thanks.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhongda stood up and walked out of his seat into the field. He bowed to the Law King first and said, "ChenZhongda pays his respects to His Highness the King. He wishes to be the first to end this.

Gan Zhixuan cast a sidelong glance at King Lu. King Lu gripped his wine cup and laughed, "I've long heard that General Zhongda is a fierce general of the military region. Today I'll see just how capable he is. But I don't know who you're going to choose to fight with. This king knows that there are many powerful generals under Marquis Mizar's command, but I don't know who will dare to compete against General Zhongda? "

King Lu's words contained a message that caused everyone's gaze to fall on Zhong Da.
