Helian Manqiu helplessly sat on the felt as she gloomily watched Gan Jianxuan walk out. She understood that he wasn't willing to punish Ding Ziyang and Zhong Da in front of her, but she didn't know how this black-skinned man would make things difficult for Ding Ziyang and Zhong Da.

He stood up and walked to the entrance of the tent, opening a small crack and looking out. He saw Gan Yuxuan leading the way, Ding Ziyang and Zhong Da following behind him with their heads lowered.

Gan Yuxuan had been several dozen zhang away from the tent when he finally stopped. He stood in the night wind, surrounded by darkness.

They lowered their heads and touched their foreheads to the ground. Helian Manqiu could not hear what Ding Ziyang and Zhong Da were saying, and did not know whether or not Ding Ziyang and Zhong Da had already understood her gesture to Ding Ziyang this morning.

She could not go without being ordered to. She could not openly go against the orders. She could not do something like that.

After a few glances, she believed that Gan Zhixuan wouldn't make things too difficult for Ding Ziyang and Zhong Da. With Ding Ziyang around, she didn't have to worry too much. She leaned against the tent's door and peeked outside.

Since they were too far away, she could not hear their conversation. The three of them had their backs facing her, so she was unable to see their lips movements. Presumably, that black-skinned man was making use of this opportunity to make Ding Ziyang and Zhongda plead guilty in panic, expressing their loyalty and even agreeing to certain conditions. However, she had no idea what sort of conditions Gan Jianxuan would propose.

She trusted Ding Ziyang and the others. These people were all the trusted generals of Helian Shan and had always been like brothers. They even swore before the coffin at Helian Mountain that they would protect her with their lives and serve her with their lives.

The people of this era valued oaths greatly, especially people like Ding Ziyang and Zhongda. They also valued oaths and would never violate them.

"My lord, this general has committed the sin of dying a thousand times. I beg of you, please punish me heavily. Even if I were to grant you death, the two generals would not complain at all. I only ask that you calm your anger, my lord."

Ding Ziyang said in a low voice. He knew that no one wanted to hear anything, so he lowered his voice and said a few words before prostrating on the ground.

"What are you two guilty of?"

After lightly asking this question, Gan Yuxuan didn't turn around to look at Ding Ziyang and Zhong Da. He knew that in these people's hearts, it was as if Helian Manqiu was the main general. Although they were respectful and submissive to him, their hearts were always towards the young general from the military region. Thus, they did not completely entrust their hearts to him.

Ding Ziyang's forehead touched the ground, and his body suddenly started trembling slightly. Gan Zhixuan just stood there with his back facing him, but the imposing aura of killing iron and blood already made his heart beat faster and faster.

Even in the face of tens of thousands of enemies, he had never felt this way before.

"My lord, this general was deceiving my lord, offending my lord's divine might. Even if I were to die, it would not be too much of a waste."

After saying this, his forehead heavily struck the ground, and he repeatedly kowtowed at Gan Zhixuan's feet. He did not say anything else, and after a few sentences, his forehead burst open, oozing out blood.

"Stop, what does it look like?"

Ding Ziyang and Zhong Da hurriedly stopped their kowtowing and deeply prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

"In your hearts, have you guys ever been this grandpa's master?!"

With a cold voice, he reprimanded her in a low voice. Then, he glanced back into the tent and knew that Helian Manqiu must have been secretly watching him.

Helian Manqiu shrank her neck and continued to lean against the tent. She peeked through the gaps in the tent. Of course, she knew that she could not hide her peeping from Gan Qianyu. After thinking for a while, she put down the tent curtain, turned around and sat back down on the felt.

It was useless for her to peek at how Gan Yuxuan was going to deal with the two of them. If Gan Yuxuan let them go, she didn't need to look.

Seeing the curtain of the tent fall, the cracks closed, vaguely seeing her slender figure return to the tent, Gan Zhixuan retracted his gaze and looked at Ding Ziyang and Zhong Da.

Zhong Da kowtowed and said in a low voice, "My lord, my lord, please enlighten me. I am all my lord's subordinates, and would not dare to have such thoughts. The last general is unpardonable, and is willing to accept his punishment before the Lord, and does not dare to ask for His forgiveness. I only hope that the Lord will be merciful, because the young general is young and ignorant, and his background is pitiful and forgiving. "

Ding Ziyang also spoke up, "My Lord, since we have accepted the benevolence of our Lord as our subordinate, we have never shown any disrespect to our Lord, not even the slightest bit. "At that time, we had no choice but to do this and did not dare to speak of it openly to our Lord. We were deceiving our Lord. We only hope that Lord Chu will calm his anger, and that we will serve our Lord in our hearts."

"Master, will you hide this matter until now?"

"My lord, at that time, the general and the others were helpless. The next day, they found out that their lord had arrived at the east gate. When the general was there, he had been waiting bitterly for the Lord to arrive. He insisted on staying in the military state and refused to give up. However, before the Lord reached the Military Region, the General had been killed. Unfortunately, the young general was too weak to care, and there was no other way. Although they had died in battle, they did not want to be taken advantage of by the inferior races and allowed the Law King to punish them as he wished. After that, they heard that their lord had arrived. They wanted to obtain their lord's approval, but had no choice but to have their young general show himself. "

"What method did she use to tell you two today?"

Ding Ziyang was embarrassed for a moment, then lowered his head and replied: "Reporting to the lord, the young general used a hand gesture to tell him that this was taught by the young general to the Military Region's soldiers. Different hand gestures represent different meanings, and in the eyes of others, the meaning is unknown."

"All of you are trying to lie to me. Have you ever thought that I was your master?"

"Bang bang …"

The two of them hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Master, please calm your anger. Master is naturally the master of this lowly general. I only hope that the Lord will be merciful. Didn't Young General Nian intend to keep the Lord's secret and spare the Young General? "

"If I hadn't discovered you, when would you have come to confess?"

Ding Ziyang kneeled and crawled two steps to the foot of Jia Yu Xuan, extended his hand and hugged Gan Yu Xuan's leg. He slightly raised his head and looked at Gan Yu Xuan, his face was filled with grief: "My lord, this general does not dare to lie to my lord even if I had the courage of the heavens, it's just that this matter is of great importance, and this general and the others truly do not dare to report to their master. Now that the Lord has found out about this, I can only plead for the Lord to be merciful. I, too, am willing to give me the chance to repay the Lord for my kindness. "

Zhong Da also knelt down and kowtowed at Gan Zhixuan's feet, "My Lord, if you have orders, this humble general will do as you say. This humble general is willing to go through fire and water without any hesitation, and is willing to serve as a pawn in my lord's army. My lord, you have died in the battlefield. This is the honor of this humble general and his subordinates. Please enlighten me, my lord."

Many people in the distance saw Ding Ziyang and Zhongda kneeling at Gan Danxuan's feet. They were extremely respectful and submissive. Although they didn't know why their lord scolded them, they were satisfied to see their old general being so respectful to their lord.

The blood sword walked to the entrance of the tent and looked in the direction of Gan Jianxuan for a moment. When Gan Jianxuan saw the blood sword open the tent and enter, he remembered that the blood sword had once said that Di Qingfeng wanted the blood sword to give something important to Helian Manqiu.

He did not ask for the blood sword to give it to him. Although the blood sword had intentionally given it to Gan Jianxuan, after he had reported it to Gan Jianxuan and ordered him to give it to Helian Manqiu, he had kept it by his side.

"Helian Qingyu, how is your body?"

"Big brother Bloodsword, I feel much better."

Seeing the blood sword enter, Helian Man replied with a smile. She leaned lazily on the blanket and half laid on the felt. She patted the blood sword beside her and made it sit down.

The blood sword was not polite. It sat down next to Helian Manqiu and handed the package Di Qingfeng had given it to him to Helian Manqiu, "This is what Di Qingfeng wanted me to give it to you. I have never seen it before."

"Even if you read it, it doesn't matter. Is Brother Di safe now?"

"Don't worry, he won't die either. Right now, he's not far behind. In two days, you'll be able to see him."

Helian Manqiu opened the package. She deliberately opened the package in front of the blood sword to prevent it from becoming suspicious. There were no secrets in the package. It was just a detailed map of the territory that she had ordered people to draw along the way, as well as the written details.

The blood sword took a glance and saw that the map had suddenly lost its interest and was lying lazily beside Helian Manqiu.

"Qingyu, how have your subordinates angered their lord? From what I see, their courage was all condoned by you, and is disrespectful to their lord. "

"Ding Ziyang and Zhongda have been following the lord for the past few days, listening to the lord's orders. If there is any disrespect or neglect, the eldest brother will go ask your subordinates. If sometimes, my lord would not let it go. Even I will not let them go. "

"Young General, your identity is different now. You are a great general of your generation."

The blood sword said half mockingly as its gaze landed on Helian Manqiu's face, "You look like a woman. I didn't expect you to be so courageous and courageous. But what do you want to do now? "

"What do I want? Brother, the reason I'm doing this is because I hope to have the qualifications to stay by my lord's side and become a general under my lord's command. If I do not have the ability, how would I have the qualifications to stay by my Lord's side and serve my Lord? "

"Oh, is that it? "Do you know …"

The blood sword glanced at the entrance of the tent and suddenly whispered into Helian Manqiu's ear, "Do you know that the Imperial Court has already found out everything that happened in the Northern Kingdom? Do you know that the imperial edict has already left the capital and is heading straight for your Military Province? "

Helian Manqiu stared blankly for a moment before murmuring, "So fast!"

"Of course it is fast. Do you think that the imperial government has not set up a formation in the northern border or the fresh territory?"

"What did the old fellow say in the imperial edict?"

"How would I know what the imperial edict says? It's just a reward for promotion."

"Big Bro doesn't know the contents of the imperial edict, so how would he know it was a promotion reward?"

"That's not the case. The Emperor should do this. The young general is about to rise in rank. This lowly one congratulates the young general."

The Blood Sword lazily cupped its fists towards Helian Manqiu. There was a profound look in its eyes as it looked at Helian Manqiu.

Helian Manqiu's mouth twitched as she rolled her eyes at the blood sword. "Big Brother, you don't need to say such words. This old man has always harbored malicious intentions. Sooner or later, I will have to settle this debt with this old man." No matter what, I only recognize my master as my master, and all that I have done, I merely hope to have the qualifications to stay by my master's side and serve him. "
