Ding Ziyang and Zhongda looked at each other, then got on their horses and silently followed. They exchanged glances but didn't dare to say anything.

The two of them gazed worriedly at Gan Zhixuan's back. They couldn't tell what their lord was thinking, nor could they tell if the young general had already revealed his identity or if their lord knew that she was a woman.

His Master's scheming was unfathomable, and his expression did not change at all. Perhaps the Young General had already bandaged his wound and did not let his Master know that it was a woman. Thus, the lord's scolding might have been due to the young general sending out his troops this time. Thus, he had a few words of reproach.

They were all anxious. They didn't know if this punishment would heavily punish Helian Manqiu.

"Second brother …"

In the end, Zhong Da couldn't hold it in any longer, he approached Ding Ziyang and whispered into his ear.

Ding Ziyang slightly shook his head, signalling Zhongdamu not to say anything more. There were too many ears here, so it would be inconvenient to say anything.

From time to time, his gaze would fall upon Gan Yuxuan's back as he camped not far from the lake. The tent had already been set up, so he got off his horse, reached out, lifted Helian Manqiu off the horse, and directly entered the main tent.

The hidden guards quickly set up defenses around them, and all the generals dismounted and went back to their respective tents.

Ding Ziyang stretched out his hand and pulled on Zhongda's sleeve, whispering a few words into Zhongda's ear. Zhongda nodded, and walked towards the large tent.

Not far from the entrance of the tent, someone had already informed him of the entrance. As he laid on the bed, he turned his head to look at Helian Manqiu, who was by his side, still in deep sleep. Her hands gently wrapped around his waist, her head resting on his shoulder, her face against his chest. There was a hint of a smile on her lips, as if she was sleeping soundly.

"General Zhong Da, please apologize to the Lord, please forgive me."

Zhong Da knelt a dozen steps away from the tent entrance. He lowered his head and knelt on the ground. His hands supported the ground as he stared at the tent flap.

After a long while, there was no sound coming from the tent. He did not dare to get up, so he kneeled outside the tent, waiting for orders.

The aroma of food wafted through the air. Zhongda swallowed a mouthful of saliva and chased after it constantly throughout the night. Along the way, he even drank and ate on the back of the horse, rarely stopping to rest.

"Zhongda, the Lord is asking you, do you know what punishment you have?"

Gui Chen's voice entered into Zhong Da's ears. He lowered his head even more, "My lord, this general has violated my lord's orders and offended my lord. I am willing to accept your punishment. Please, my lord, please calm your anger."

"The Lord is asking you how you should be punished."

"Reporting to the Lord, this lowly general knows his wrongs and is willing to be punished by the Lord."

Zhong Da replied. As he looked at the falling curtain, he couldn't see anything. He also didn't know what the young general was like.

Just now, the young general must have been unconscious, right? Was he really unconscious, or was he pretending to be unconscious in order to win the pity of his lord?

He did not know what Helian Manqiu's thoughts were, nor did he know if she was really unconscious or if she was pretending to be unconscious. He only hoped that she could call him in, even if the punishment was to be lashed down and be able to see the young general.

"My Lord has ordered me to wait for you to go back and think it over. If you understand, then come and beg for forgiveness."

Zhong Da was stunned for a moment. Although he had somewhat disobeyed his lord's order and offended his lord, he had only taken a few steps forward and didn't dare to disobey Gan Yuxuan's orders. What does the Lord mean by that?

He could not understand, but he did not dare to say anything else. After kowtowing and thanking Ding Ziyang, he went back to ask Ding Ziyang.

"Second Brother, what does Master mean?"

Hearing Zhong Da's words, Ding Ziyang's expression suddenly became ugly, turning gloomy and green. He walked to the entrance of the tent, opened a small crack, and stared for a long time at the large tent.

"Second Brother, what does the Lord mean? The lackey had never actually violated his lord's orders, so even if he was a bit impulsive and offended his lord's dignity, he would at most be scolded a few times and be whipped. What does the master mean by this? "

Hearing this, Ding Ziyang's face turned even more gloomy: "When the young general was carried over by my lord, he seemed to be in a coma."

"Who knows if the young general is real or not. This little brother is unable to see through the young general."

"The young general didn't give us any indication in secret. Although there were a lot of generals around, I didn't see any sign from him. "Perhaps my lord has already discovered the true identity of the young general …"

After saying those words, Ding Ziyang suddenly retreated weakly from the entrance of the tent, rolled over and laid on the blanket, then raised his head and stared blankly at the top of the tent.

"What?"

When Zhong Da heard this, he could not help but turn pale with fright. His lips slightly trembled, and even his body slightly trembled. "Second Brother, are you sure?"

"The young general's thigh and shoulder are both injured. If my lord personally deals with the bandage for my young general, how can it be hidden from my master?" "My lord's eyes are sharp and his thoughts are meticulous. I'm afraid my lord already knows this already."

"Then …"

He reached out to undo the armor on his body and threw it away, "Second brother, if Master knew about this, what would happen? Perhaps, my lord does not know about this matter, and I have not been able to discern anything from my lord's face. "

"If you can tell anything from my lord's face, then my lord is not my lord."

Ding Ziyang said bitterly, then also took off his armor and threw it out, tiredly closing his eyes.

They were silent for a long time as someone brought them food. Then they sat up and began to eat in silence.

"Second brother, if the lord knows about this, the young general and we …"

"I don't know. I can't see through the young general, much less my lord." This time, the young general had personally led the troops deep into the country. He had won all ten battles and had become a famous general of the Great Hengkong Empire. Fool was originally worried that by doing so, the young general would arouse his lord's fear and suspicion. "Right now …"

The expression on Ding Ziyang's face kept changing. Suddenly, he whispered, "Perhaps now that the Lord has found out the Young General's true identity, it is not a bad thing!"

"This, this is the crime of deceiving the monarch, a serious crime of deceiving the lord!"

Zhong Da whispered. As he ate, his gaze shifted to the outside of the tent. From afar, he saw that the tent was abnormally quiet without the slightest movement.

"The young general might have another deep meaning, if …"

Ding Ziyang said half a sentence and then lowered his head to eat in silence.

Inside the tent of the central army, Gonggong was sitting on the bed, eating. He turned his head and glanced at Helian Manqiu, who was sleeping beside him.

Never would he have thought that she would be a girl.

Gan Yuxuan couldn't help but to bitterly smile. He didn't expect that while she was by his side, he wouldn't notice anything. At that time, he also had a moment of doubt, but it was only a sliver. Seeing how swift and decisive she was, her methods were all unpredictable and amazing.

That day, at the funeral of Helian Mountain, he saw with his own eyes Helian Shan's daughter, the frail Helian Manqiu. He no longer had any doubts in his heart.

"Helian Qingyu, so that's how it is!"

He had always known that Helian Qingyu did not know martial arts, and from childhood, he had always abhorred the practice of martial arts. Her martial arts were not weak and her agility was bold and powerful. She had an incredibly beautiful appearance and was extremely bizarre. However, she was Helian Manqiu and not Helian Qingyu.

It should be the brother and sister who exchanged identities with each other.

"Master, the medicine is ready."

The thick smell of medicine came from outside the tent. The Blue Luan lowered its head and walked in. It knelt on the ground and held the medicine in its hands.

"Put it down."

Gan Yuxuan's gaze swept across the Blue Luan. The Blue Luan stood up and placed the medicine on the table. Its gaze fell upon Helian Manqiu. The young general was covered in fox fur, revealing a small face as pale as a piece of paper. His cheeks were burning red.

"Get down."

"Yes, my lord. Do you want me to serve the young general, or send someone to serve the young general?"

"No need."

The Blue Luan did not dare to say anything more and left with a bow. Inside the tent, there was only Gouyu Xuan, and even Gui Chen was not inside the tent.

"Commander, how come you're not serving at the Lord's side?"

The Blue Luan walked out of the large tent and entered a nearby tent. It looked at the person lying on the felt and asked.

"Lord, we are all too tired. We don't need to wait on you to rest."

The Blue Luan's beautiful face slightly furrowed its brows. "Commander Gui, do you think that my Lord has a different opinion of Helian Qingyu?"

"That's only natural. King Lu and King Chen will definitely regret it now. They didn't have the capital to recruit the young general back then." Even Prince Fei Tang and Prince Fu were trying their best to recruit the young general, so how could their lord not pay attention to them? "

"Commander, you should understand what I mean."

The Blue Luan let out a soft sigh and sat down opposite of Gui Chen. It looked at him with its charming eyes.

Gui Chen smiled as his gaze lightly swept past the Blue Luan's seductive face and said softly, "Blue Luan, do not forget your status and position. Do you think that your master is someone you can change your mind about?"

"I …"

The Blue Luan bitterly lowered its head. It only raised it's head a moment later. "How could I dare to think of anything? It's just that I have to frequently wait on my master. It's been a few months since my master has …"

Her face slightly blushed and she didn't continue speaking.

"Our identities are merely the master's servants. Do not forget our identities. The Lord willing to bestow grace upon you is the Lord's grace, do not hope for anything. A man like that is not someone you can keep by your side forever. "

"But, that young general …"

After the Blue Luan finished its sentence, a sorrowful look flashed in the depths of its eyes. "It can't be that my master …"

"How dare you criticize the Lord behind his back? Blue Luan, are you tired of living? "

Gui Chen suddenly sat up. He stared at the Blue Luan as a bright light flashed in his eyes.

The Blue Luan's body trembled as it raised its head to look at Gui Chen. "The Blue Luan doesn't dare, and the Blue Luan knows its wrongs. It pleads with Big Brother Gui to not report this to its master."

"I naturally wouldn't mention such a small matter to my lord. Sister Blue Luan, you should be more careful in the future." "Don't say such words again. The Lord is such a great hero. How could he … how could he have such thoughts like yours?"

"Yes, it was my mistake. Please forgive me."

The Blue Luan hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply towards Gui Chen.
