Three days later, Helian Manqiu was preparing to leave the military region with Gan Yuxuan and head for the northern border of Shengjing City.

Shengjing Palace was the largest prefecture in the Northern Frontier and also the center of the Northern Frontier.

Everyone was ready. They stood outside the garrison quietly, waiting for Gan Jianxuan to come out. Helian Manqiu was dressed in black. Her figure was like jade snow and her clothes were like ink. Her black and white appearance had obviously attracted the attention of many people. All eyes, some peeping while some had an inexplicable expression, were fixed on the youngest marshal in the history of the Great Hengkong Empire.

"The Lord has arrived!"

Someone shouted. Everyone knelt down on one knee and kneeled down on the street outside the garrison. They lowered their heads and stared at the ground.

Helian Manqiu knelt at the very front. She raised her eyes slightly to look at the gate of the garrison and saw a dazzling golden figure walk out of the gate.

"No, get up."

"Thank you, my Lord."

Everyone stood up. Now that she was under his command, naturally, Helian Manqiu had the highest official position, surpassing all the other generals and officials present. Because of this, she was always given the lead by everyone.

Hurriedly taking a few steps forward, Helian Manqiu personally led the horse over to Gan Yuxuan's side. She lowered her head and kneeled down on one knee, waiting for Gan Yuxuan to mount the horse. To personally lead the horse for Gan Xianxuan was an extremely important form of etiquette, especially when she acted in the name of her uncle. It represented her absolute submission to Gan Zhixuan.

He stood with one knee under the saddle, his head slightly lowered and his eyes lowered. He led the horse into the stirrups and hopped over her knees.

All along, this matter should be done by Gan Zhixuan's stable boy. However, Gan Zhixuan had always jumped onto the horse of his own accord, ruining this etiquette.

All the generals of the Great Hengkong Empire had servants and horses by their sides to serve their horses and to serve them as they mounted the horses.

Gan Yuxuan stopped in front of Helian Manqiu.

Helian Manqiu bowed her head and said in a respectful tone, "My lord, my lord, my lord, please lead the horse into the stirrups. Please mount the horse."

A general and an official leading their master, usually when they submit or express their allegiance, are used to express sincerity and respect, to represent submission to their master.

Now that Helian Manqiu was a noble Count, it was too much for her to lead Gan Yuxuan around with her horse. If word of this got out, it would definitely become a joke in the government.

"Qingyu, you're here to cause trouble again. Why don't you think about your current status and why haven't you left yet?"

"My lord, this general is only one of my lord's subordinates. It is my honor to have my lord lead my horse and lead it away. I beg you, my lord, to honor me with your presence."

The surrounding people all bowed their heads, their gazes falling upon Gan Yuxuan and Helian Manqiu.

This move undoubtedly won the satisfaction of all of Gan Zhixuan's subordinates. Even if Gan Zhixuan didn't step on Helian Manqiu's knees, Helian Manqiu's sincerity and reverence were enough to satisfy them.

"Nonsense, even more nonsense!"

He stretched out his hand to pull Helian Manqiu. Helian Manqiu looked up at him and said, "I beg you, my lord, please grant my lord permission. My lord, are you not willing to abandon my lord?"

Gan Yuxuan's eyes flashed as he lowered his head to stare at Helian Manqiu. Helian Manqiu smiled sweetly and once again bowed her head to urge him: "I beg of you, my lord, please step forward."

Gan Yuxuan could only lift his foot, but didn't step on Helian Manqiu's knee. He extended his hand and lightly pressed on the horse's back, then his body lightly floated up and he jumped onto the horse.

"My lord is mighty, my lord is mighty!"

All of the generals revealed smiles as they looked at Gan Jianxuan with admiration.

Helian Manqiu slowly stood up from the ground and walked to the front of her warhorse. She also had her janissary boy serving her, but she had never used him before. Today, he had personally led the horse to the stirrup in front of all of Gan Jianxuan's subordinates and generals. It was also to calm down the aftermath of the imperial edict and show it to everyone.

Otherwise, she didn't have that kind of resolve and was willing to lower herself to Gan Danxuan as a lackey.

Everyone set out on their journey. All the military officials sent Gan Jianxuan to the outskirts of the city to bid farewell. They waited for Gan Zhixuan's figure to disappear before returning to the city.

Helian Manqiu was riding a white steed. Her red steed was left in the fresh air, so she had to temporarily find another steed to replace it. Riding on the unfamiliar horse, she calculated how she would be able to master the art of horse in the shortest amount of time.

It took a few days for a large group of people to arrive at Shengjing City after leaving the military region. From afar, the majestic city of Shengjing City could be vaguely seen.

Helian Manqiu held her forehead. This was the first time she had come here. The last time she had sent troops to the Military Region, it was the first time she had left the Military Region.

"Qing Yu, look. That's the number one city in the Northern Frontier, Shengjing. What do you think?"

"Magnificent and sturdy, as expected of the Shengjing Hall."

Gan Yuxuan faintly smiled as his eyes slightly narrowed. Along the way, this little girl was extremely obedient, unlike the usual impudence and impudence. She did not personally enter his tent, and if he did not summon her, she would not appear in front of him.

It was only when they were on the road that she would follow closely behind him.

"Reporting to the lord, all the officials of Shengjing Manor have come to welcome you."

Not far away, countless people were kneeling on both sides of the road. In the Northern Frontier, Gonggong Xuan was equivalent to the emperor of this place.

Helian Manqiu's gaze swept across everyone. She slowed the horse's hooves and fell backwards, so as to avoid getting too close to Gan Xian Xuan.

Gonggong urged his horse forward, and everyone kneeled on both sides of the road, simultaneously bowing and bowing. Gonggong ordered everyone to get up, and some of the troops stayed outside the city in the barracks, while others followed Gonggong into the city.

"Qing Yu, do you want to stay in the barracks outside the city, or follow me into the city?"

"This general naturally follows by Master's side."

The real Helian Qingyu was still in Shengjing City, so she had to go see her brother once.

"Enter the city."

Under the escort of the crowd, they entered Shengjing City and went all the way to the General's Estate. There were some servants waiting on them, who ordered them to return to their respective posts.

Helian Manqiu also dismounted, and she knew that countless gazes were on her. She raised her head and saw that the old man had personally inscribed a tablet of the Great General's Estate. She didn't know if she should go in with Gan Qianyu or find a place to rest before going to see Helian Qingyu.

"Qingyu, follow me."

"Yes, this lowly general obeys."

Helpless, she followed Gan Jianxuan into the general's mansion. There was no need for this man to be so passionate, right?

She didn't need to entertain her into the general's mansion. She didn't want to see the beauties in the general's mansion swaying in front of her like a myriad of beautiful flowers and clusters of flowers.

"Welcome back, master. Greetings, master. Congratulations."

Kneeling people outside and outside the general's residence welcomed Gan Yuxuan back to the manor.

The head steward was kneeling at the very front with a respectful face. Helian Manqiu's eyes swept over and landed about ten steps behind Gan Yuxuan, but she did not notice any women greeting him respectfully.

"No."

Gan Yuxuan only said one word, but the others didn't get up. They knelt by the side of the road and waited for him to walk towards them. Only then did they slowly get up.

After everyone had stood up, Helian Manqiu followed them into the main hall.

The butler entered shortly after, bowed his head and waited at the side. Someone offered fragrant tea, and a servant handed over a warm handkerchief to Jia Yu Xuan.

Gan Yuxuan took the handkerchief and wiped his face, then sat upright in the middle of the hall. In the hall, other than the butler, there were only two servants standing respectfully by the side.

His gaze swept across the hall in a simple and unadorned manner. There was nothing superfluous in the spacious hall, not even a painting or a painting of a famous person. There was only a table, a few chairs, and nothing else.

"Go get a chair and serve Uncle Zhen some tea."

The housekeeper looked at Helian Manqiu with an inexplicable expression. He hurriedly bent over and pulled off his clothes, kowtowing: "This humble one did not know that uncle-master had come here to kowtow to uncle-master. Please forgive me, uncle-master."

"No."

Helian Manqiu imitated Gan Jianxuan's tone and said a single word. She slightly lowered her head and respectfully stood below him.

Someone moved a chair and placed it in front of Helian Manqiu.

"Qing Yu, sit down and drink your tea."

"Thank you, my Lord."

After slightly bowing to Gan Yuxuan, Helian Manqiu sat down. She leaned on the back of the chair, feeling somewhat exhausted. She held the cup of tea and slowly took two sips.

Her actions, in the eyes of the butler, were clearly a little careless and a little rude and impudent.

The butler's gaze fell on Gan Shuxuan, "Master, if you have no orders, please go up to rest for a moment. The food and wine have been prepared. Do you want to eat first, or take a bath and change your clothes?"

"Give Qing Yu the best room. Qing Yu, which room do you think is the best in my mansion?"

A heartless smile appeared on Helian Manqiu's face. She looked up at Gan Jianxuan and asked, "My lord, would you like to arrange the best room for this lowly general?"

"Exactly."

"Which room is better than the Lord's? "My lord, this lowly general has never asked my lord many questions. Now that I have the chance, I shall accompany my lord lord to serve my lord. Wouldn't it be great if I could speak to my lord all night long and ask my lord for guidance?"

His eyes were deep and serene without the slightest ripple on his grave and stern face. As he indifferently glanced at Helian Manqiu, he knew that this girl was playing some tricks. Indeed, that was the case.

"Since that's the case, you should make the arrangements to clean up in your grandpa's room and add a bed so that uncle Zhen can rest in your room with me."

"Master... "As you command!"

The butler hesitated for a moment before hastily bowing and agreeing to withdraw from the hall. He ordered people to clean up and his gaze swept over Helian Manqiu once again. Indeed, he was worthy of being the most beautiful young man of the northern border.

He was somewhat puzzled. This uncle truly came back with the lord. When he heard about this, he didn't understand why this esteemed uncle didn't stay in the military state or head to Jingbei. Why did he follow the lord to Shengjing Manor?

To spend the night in a room with the Lord?

With a slight frown, his eyes were filled with waves of emotions. The lord's room was never reserved, and even the woman was not fortunate enough to enter his room.

This beautiful young man, young Lord Uncle, was indeed deeply doted upon and indulged by his lord. He was indeed overly pampered and pampered.

"Qing Yu, do you want to bathe and change your clothes first, or do you want to eat first?"

"This lowly general is hungry."
