The third prince lowered his head to look at the teenager in his arms. His body was like a light feather, without any weight, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

"Helian Qingyu, you are so delicate. How dare you come to His Highness's military camp alone?"

"If I didn't come, how could my subordinates leave in peace?" Even though it was only exchanged for half the night, I will definitely not give up on them! "

A firm and sonorous voice rang in the third prince's ears. The third prince looked at Helian Manqiu with curiosity, "Don't you know that once you arrived here, you will become a lowly prisoner and will be escorted to the royal court to meet your father? Do you know that you might never be able to return to the Central Plains in your lifetime?

"Who can say what will happen in the future? Even though you guys have controlled me at this moment, how do you know that in the next moment, you won't be defeated by Chu Yu and you'll lose me?"

"Is this a plan that you and Marquis Mi Tian have arranged?"

Helian Manqiu gave a seductive smile as she leaned on the Third Prince's arm. "Who do you think will win when Duan Jidao is matched against Jia Yu Xuan?"

"Hard to say!"

The Third Prince's gaze descended into the darkness of the night as if he was deep in thought, and the light in his eyes fluctuated.

"Are you thinking about why Duan Shiyan gave you such a relaxed mission to kill the hundreds of veterans in Mo Gan City? Why didn't he send you to welcome Gan Shuang Xuan?"

"Oh, has this prince said so?"

Hearing Helian Manqiu's words, the third prince's eyes turned deep and unfathomable as a strong killing intent flashed through them.

"I can't even imagine such a simple matter. How could he become the garrison general of the Army Prefecture? How could he defeat the iron army of Duan Zhan Chen and Fu Mengtian?"

The light tone instantly extinguished the killing intent in the third prince's heart. He smiled and stared at Helian Manqiu. It was only then that he remembered that the delicate young man in his arms was the renowned young general of the War Continent, the brilliant young man who had fought like a god.

Just two days ago, this young general had led less than five thousand elite soldiers, first defeating the thirty thousand elite light cavalry led by Duan Zhan Chen himself, then establishing an undefeatable legend. In just three thousand men, he had defeated the undefeated Iron Buddha, personally led by Fu Mengxiong, the number one warrior of the inferior clans!

At that time, he had always wanted to personally see who this young general was.

He did not want to see such a slim and graceful young man who had yet to reach adulthood.

"Helian Qingyu, are you really only fourteen years old?"

The Third Prince couldn't help but laugh when the words left his mouth. Of course, he was fourteen years old. Now that this young general was in his arms, he was as weak as the wind.

"Tell me, why did His Highness give such an easy task to this prince?"

Staring at Helian Manqiu, he suddenly took a big step forward and strode to the front of the war horse. With a flip of his body, he gently pressed his hand on the war horse and jumped onto the horse's back.

Helian Manqiu supported her forehead. As expected, she was valiant and carried a living person like her on a horse. It was so agile and relaxed as if she were a doll.

The third prince urged his horse forward and slowly walked forward. He lowered his head to look at Helian Manqiu, who was leaning against his chest. "You haven't answered the words that this prince has just said."

"If the third prince thinks that it's easy to kill my men from Mo Gan City, I wish that he'll succeed and win!"

After lazily saying that, Helian Manqiu closed her eyes and leaned against the Third Prince's arm. Not bad, this human skin cushion wasn't much worse than the King of Wolves'. However, he did not know where the wolf was, or where Gan Gui was.

"How did you know that the Marquis of Heaven is here?"

"If that's not the case, will you send your men to leave this place?"

"Helian Qingyu, I heard that you use troops like a god, who do you think will win this battle? Do you still have the chance to be saved by Marquis Mizar? "

"Third Prince, I'm not willing to speak words that will hurt your heart, so let's skip it."

"Why not?"

"Third Prince, please do not blame him. You have lost for sure!"

"How do you know?"

"Helian Qingyu, the sky is about to brighten. Your men do not even have many war horses, and each of them is wounded. Do you think they can escape from the light cavalry led by this prince?"

"Third Prince, do you dare to bet?"

Helian Manqiu would never do something without any benefits. Right now, she was scheming how to ruthlessly entrap this Third Prince.

Had Gan Yuxuan personally come to the Freshness and Humility Northern Kingdom, or had he sent troops to support her?

This question was no longer important. What was important was that thick-skinned man had finally sent someone to save them. That might be enough. Judging from yesterday's transfer of troops, Gan Zhixuan had sent enough troops to attract the attention and even to cause panic.

After hearing the news about Di Qingfeng and the others, she sent a message to Chen Yuyang and the others with her messenger eagle. She arranged for Chen Yuyang and other high-ranking officers of the military state to send out troops to help them.

However, Chen Yu Yang and the rest were still quite far away from them, so she could only use the method of entering the tiger's cave to exchange for the safe passage of Di Qing Feng and the others.

There wasn't much time in the middle of the night, but it was enough for Di Qingfeng and the others to escape from the pursuit of the low and fresh people. In order to save Di Qingfeng and the others, she was willing to pay a huge price to give many benefits to that wolf.

That wolf was a person without skin like her. What it wanted was benefits!

"You want to bet with this prince, what do you have to bet with him?"

The third prince became more and more curious about this young general. He couldn't help but reach out to lift the bronze mask on Helian Manqiu's face: "First let this prince see how unrivaled the most beautiful youth of the northern border is."

Under the cold moonlight, her snow-like face was translucent and pale, and her brows revealed a cold, arrogant, and heroic aura, causing the third prince to be unable to take his gaze away from this delicate, beautiful face for a long time.

His fingers couldn't help but flick across Helian Man's face. The smooth and exquisite touch caused the Third Prince to be stunned for a moment.

"Are you a man?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the third prince felt that he had asked a very foolish question. His face was somewhat embarrassed as he looked away from Helian Manqiu's face.

Helian Manqiu reached out her hand to retrieve the bronze mask from the third prince's hands and put it back on her face, "Could it be that the third prince does not dare to bet with me and knows that you do not have the ability to kill the veterans that came out of Mo Gan City?"

"What a joke, even if this prince was alone, it would still be enough to wipe out their entire army!"

She smiled as she looked at the Third Prince: "Since that's the case, do you dare to bet with me, Third Prince?"

"What other things do you have that you can lose to this prince?"

"That depends on what you want, I won't let you down."

The Third Prince stared at Helian Manqiu for a moment, then suddenly let out a loud laugh: "Fine, let this prince see how crafty the person who deceived Duan Zhan Chen is. One must know that this prince is not Duan Zhan Chen. He won't be easily duped by you. "

"These words, when have I ever lied to Duan Zhan Chen? Can I defeat 30,000 light cavalry soldiers with just a few words?"

"You're right. If you lose, this prince wants you and your army, can you afford it?"

These conditions were high enough.

Helian Manqiu looked speechlessly at the third prince. He had such a big appetite. It was reasonable for her to think that the prince actually wanted the Military Region. It must be said that the ambitions of the third prince were truly not small.

"As long as Your Highness wins, why not? If Your Highness loses, do you have the same reward for me?"

Following this principle, Helian Manqiu gave a seductive smile as she looked at the Third Prince, "If you can't come up with a wager of equal value, then your highness, please don't ask too much."

"What qualifications and skills do you have to give this prince's military?"

"The Army Region is mine, as long as I return back to the Military Region and respectfully welcome Your Highness at the Gate of Opening, then the Military Region will belong to Your Highness, right? Regarding this, does Your Highness have any questions? "

"Do you think the Marquis of Heaven will allow you to do so?"

"Right now, Gan Yuxuan is not in the Military Region. I'm the one in charge of the Military Region, so this is not difficult. It's rare that His Highness is unable to provide me with an equal reward."

"Hmph …"

The third prince coldly snorted as his eyes turned as deep as the night sky. Of course, he knew that the crown prince would never give him a simple task to accomplish. However, he could not think of what was waiting for him in front.

There were less than 300 soldiers that escaped from Mo Gan City. Moreover, they all had wounds on their bodies and there were only 100 war horses. There were also many war horses that were injured. Even if each horse could carry two soldiers, their speed would definitely not be fast enough and they would not be familiar with the surrounding terrain.

No matter how he thought about it, the third prince still couldn't come up with an idea. How could those veterans who numbered less than three hundred escape his pursuit?

Some of his troops were stationed in the distance. With a single command, he had ordered those tribes to chase down the three hundred injured and weaker soldiers. With a single attack, he would be able to kill all of them.

"Has the third prince thought of a bet to bet with me against the War Continent?"

Helian Manqiu closed her eyes, leant drowsily on the third prince's arm, and rested her head on the third prince's shoulder, looking like she was about to fall asleep.

"The sky is about to brighten!"

The Third Prince coldly said. He looked down at Helian Manqiu and said, "This prince only has war horses. I can also give you some fine iron. There is nothing else."

"Ten thousand war horses and ten thousand Jin of refined iron. Although they are far from being comparable to the military region, they are still far from being comparable to me. However, I am not willing to care too much about them, so this is it!"

"Helian Qingyu, why don't you just rob him?"

"It's a lot less trouble than robbery, and it doesn't take much effort."

With a single sentence, the third prince had the urge to ruthlessly throw the young general in his arms in front of the horse and stomp him down ten thousand times with his horse's hooves.

He suddenly understood why his fifth younger brother, Duan Zhan Chen, would suffer such a loss and would be driven mad by this young general.

Right now, he also had the impulse to go crazy. He coldly stared at Helian Manqiu and said, "Helian Qingyu, don't forget that you are now a prisoner under this prince. At the hands of this prince, you are no longer a wager."
