Gan Yuxuan reprimanded him with a cold voice. Helian Manqiu slightly raised her head to look at him. She tightly pursed her lips and looked at him without saying a word.

She stood up and walked over to Helian Manqiu step by step. An enormous pressure immediately pressed down on her, causing her heart to immediately become heavy. This man had a naturally majestic and murderous aura around him. After many years of fighting in the battlefield, leading troops and gaining a high position, he naturally had a natural might that could cause one's heart to palpitate and fear.

Raising his head, he looked straight at Gan Xianxuan.

Her pursed lips were pale and white. The delicate wind was like a withered peach flower, revealing a bit of moisture and crystal, as if it was about to become transparent.

Gan Yuxuan walked in front of Helian Manqiu and looked down at her. This little girl was different after all. In front of him, she was still arrogant and rude. She dared to look straight at him with such a gaze.

The generals under his command would not even blink their eyes in fear of tens of thousands of enemies. However, no one dared to meet his gaze, or even stare back at him in such a manner.

He extended his hand and pinched Helian Manqiu's small, pointed chin. Looking at her sparkling, translucent, pale skin, almost transparent skin and lips, her smooth and exquisite appearance was like crystal smooth frozen jade.

"He's still so bold and disrespectful."

Helian Manqiu held her forehead and frowned. Her delicate eyebrows had turned into pockmarks. She was already so humble in front of him. Kneeling in front of him, all she could get was an impolite comment?

"My lord, how could this lowly general ever dare to be so impudent in front of my lord? If my lord wants to punish this lowly general, feel free to do so. How could this lowly general dare to disobey? "Why do you need to use that to suppress a general?"

"How dare you speak like that in front of me?! So rude! I only have you as my subordinate!"

Hearing Gan Yuxuan's words, Helian Manqiu slowly widened her eyes. Her beautiful eyebrows scrunched together, and her nose lightly wrinkled. Feeling depressed, she slightly lowered her eyes, thinking of Gan Zhixuan's subordinates, the generals of the Military Region.

It was as if there really was no one who dared to look at Gan Jianxuan like she did and say such words in front of Gan Jianxuan.

This lord only needed a faint gaze to make those most valiant and fearless generals prostrate at his feet, trembling in submission. No one dared to even make a sound.

It seemed that her subordinate's performance was not up to standard.

"This lowly general knows his wrongs. Please, my lord, do not be angry and give me punishment. Please be merciful and spare Lu Keyu."

"A group of scarecrows aren't my subordinates. What you're saying is that this military state isn't under my jurisdiction, is it that I have no control over it?" "So, you are now the master of the Military Region's feudal fiefdom, and Jing Bei's magnanimity caused Uncle to not have to kneel in front of me and beg for forgiveness."

These words were extremely heavy. Helian Manqiu's face slightly changed as she immediately dropped to her knees and kowtowed.

"My lord is serious, I dare not have such thoughts. I am my lord's subordinate, Jing Bei and the military state are also my lord's territory. "My lord, I beg of you, please grant me punishment for being ignorant at such a young age."

She lowered her head and stared at Gan Jianxuan's toes. She also knew that her words just now were a slip of the tongue. It must be because she angered Gan Jianxuan. At this moment, he remembered that the military region had been incorporated into the Jingbei region, and yesterday, the imperial edict had conferred her the title of Jing Bei Yuan Emissary, with the position of a First Class Count.

She had said that Lu Keyu was not one of Gongxuan's subordinates. Although these words had no other intent at that time, nor did they intend to separate Gangyu's lands from the Northern Army, at such a sensitive time, these words couldn't help but cause others to ponder and misunderstand.

"My lord, please forgive me. This general only did not want Lu Keyu to be punished by my lord because of my mistake. This general has wrongly spoken and requested for punishment from my lord."

Lowering his head, then lowering his head, why did the evil Great Hengkong Empire keep on kneeling and kowtowing?

Her knees were numb and her legs were sore. She couldn't get up without Gan Jianxuan's order and forgiveness, so she could only gloomily stare at the edge of his robe and secretly grit her teeth in her heart.

"This grandpa didn't see any sincerity from you."

With a single sentence, Helian Manqiu felt like jumping up and going berserk. She felt like vomiting blood.

This dark and ruthless man only knew how to use power to oppress her. Helplessly, she could only continue to be pressured when she wanted to stay by the side of this man with the purest black crystal-like heart.

"My lord, this general knows his wrongs, my lord …"

She stretched out her hand to hold onto the hem of Gan Zhixuan's robe, and spoke with a pitiful tone. The coldness she had held for a long time had completely vanished, and in front of this black-clothed man, it seemed like her future path was a heavy one.

"My lord, please forgive me. If my lord doesn't want to vent his anger, I will let my lord scold me."

He raised his head and looked at Gan Jianxuan with a resentful gaze. I exploded, I pretended to be pitiful, I pretended to be weak, I didn't believe that this man wouldn't be moved at all.

Seeing Helian Manqiu's appearance, Gan Jianxuan's heart was laughing nonstop. His face, however, was cold without any ripples. Layers of frost had congealed on his face, and his eyes were cold and dignified without the slightest fluctuation.

Seeing Gan Zhixuan's grave and stern face, Helian Manqiu kneeled down on her knees and pouted her pink lips. "My lord, are you unwilling to forgive me? What should I do before my Lord is willing to forgive? "

"Are you guilty? "Master, see, you don't think you're guilty. You don't know how you hate me, and how you feel about punishing you for a small matter."

"I offer my blessings to you …"

Helian Manqiu gritted her teeth as she spat out three words. She glared at Gongxing for a moment before giving him a cold and condescending look.

Good, very good. This little girl directly called him by his name and liked to see her appearance. She was incomparably quick-witted, revealing such an arrogant and impudent attitude. It was quite strange for Elves.

After looking face to face with Gan Yuxuan for a moment, Helian Manqiu's lips tightened. She could tell that half of Gan Yuxuan's intention was to make things difficult for her. The other half was indeed her slip of the tongue.

If she was Helian Qingyu, a man, and the son of Helian Shan, she would have indeed angered Gan Qianyu by saying such words after the decree had just been passed down yesterday. She would have been feared by Gan Qianyu, and would have even done something because of her anger.

Now, even though he had openly pointed out her slip of the tongue, he didn't have too much suspicion towards her, nor would he punish her for that.

She could not help but bite her lips as she thought about how she could not think like this. She secretly hated herself for her brain being damaged after she failed to put on an emotional act in front of Gan Yuxuan last night.

Otherwise, it was impossible for her to say such idiotic words.

If the military state were to admit that it was under the jurisdiction of the Jia Yue clan, that the Jia Yue clan was the master, and that Lu Keyu was only a grass citizen of the military state, how could anyone say that he was not under the command of the Jia clan?

Lu Keyu wasn't even as good as a subordinate, but was only a citizen, or even a servant, under the rule of Xuan.

Gritting her lips, Jia Yu Xuan could not help but laugh in his heart. He was about to laugh.

He turned around and gave Helian Manqiu a back. He used his back to look at Helian Manqiu.

He was worried that if he looked at her small face again, he wouldn't be able to hold back the smile on his face. She would discover that his heart had softened a long time ago, and he was only teasing her on purpose.

Seeing Gan Yuxuan turn around coldly, with a solemn and dignified expression and a frosty gaze, Helian Manqiu was dumbfounded. How was she supposed to explain and admit defeat to this lord?

She was already so submissive, what else was there for her to do?

She really wasn't familiar with the complicated matter of the Great Hengkong Empire's title and fiefdom. She didn't think too deeply about it and decided to stay by Gan Jianxuan's side every step of the way. Now that he had been given the chance, he couldn't help but ponder deeply for a moment.

"Master …"

Helian Manqiu helplessly whispered in a humble tone, "In this world, she is the subordinate of the Emperor." Even if that wasn't the case, the difference between her position as a Count and that of a First Class General was too great. Even if she saw Gan Yuxuan, she had to kneel down and pay her respects.

"This lowly general has never understood the title of Emperor. This lowly general has always followed his lord, and when he follows his lord, he has sworn that no matter what, he will have the qualifications to follow his lord and serve under him. Now, this general's intentions hadn't changed in the slightest. Whether it was Jing Bei or the Military Prefecture, they were not what this lowly general wanted. This lowly general has always wanted to have the ability and qualifications to follow by his master's side and fight in the battlefield. "

These words were spoken with sincerity. Helian Manqiu's original intentions had always been so. Thus, when she said them, there was a sense of sincerity that caused Xuan Xin to be willing to do so.

"My lord, I humbly request my lord to be enlightened. If my lord's words are half false, then let my lord slay the ten thousand men who have died in my lord's hand!"

"Shut up! If you dare to say something like that again, let's see how this grandpa will punish you!"

Upon hearing Helian Manqiu's words, he took the oath and reprimanded her angrily. Then, he turned his head and stared at Helian Manqiu.

She was looking up at him, her glass-like eyes were filled with sincerity and love as she stared at him.

"My lord, even if this one has misspoken, I now know that I have made a mistake. I beg my lord to forgive me, but this one does not dare to spout nonsense, speaking in such a casual manner without considering it."

Gan Yuxuan took a step forward and stood in front of Helian Manqiu. He extended his hand and pulled her up from the ground. Then, he looked down at her.

Seeing Gan Zhixuan's dark and unfathomable gaze, her heart began to beat violently for some reason, and she lowered her head slightly.

"Little girl, don't be so angry that you feel uncomfortable after just a few times, right?"

She pretended to be afraid and deeply lowered her head: "This lowly general doesn't dare, this lowly general dares to provoke my lord's anger, this lowly general is extremely careful every day, afraid of provoking my lord's anger, and doesn't serve you well."

"What's more, this kind of flattery and fawning from nothingness, I will definitely punish you."

"How should Master punish this lowly general?"

He raised his eyes and looked at Gan Jianxuan pitifully. What was his lord planning?

Last night, he had heavily hit her. She was now very well-behaved, very respectful. Why did this man continue to force her and make things difficult for her?

"Smile for me."

"Puff …"

Helian Manqiu did not know whether to laugh or to vomit blood. This was because those words from Gan Gumo, which caused her face to tense up into frost, were all for naught.

"Cough, cough …"

Coughing, she suddenly thought of the expression and famous phrase that she used to emit when chatting in her time: "Girl, give me a smile!"

She looked at Gan Danxuan speechlessly. She wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. She didn't laugh, but she was holding back. She really was defeated by this man. Why did he suddenly say such a thing?
