They were still two days away from the capital when the messenger suddenly sent someone to ask if Helian Manqiu wanted to stay there. Helian Manqiu raised her head and glanced at the blazing afternoon sun. The way to travel and to stay was decided by the messenger. At that moment, just after noon, he came to ask her about this matter. Clearly, there was something hidden behind it.

She sent word that all the arrangements were to be made by the messenger.

After following Helian Manqiu for a few days, the blood sword had also learned to think. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Brother, what do you mean by being a messenger? Is there any other purpose in it? "

Helian Manqiu raised her thumb as she leaned towards the blood sword and said, "I'm guessing that a distinguished guest will arrive tonight. Would Big Brother like to make a bet with me?"

The Bloody Sword curled his lips and looked at Helian Manqiu with disdain. "If you want to gamble, then gamble on the identity of tonight's distinguished guest. If you're right, Big Brother has been obedient to you before returning to the Lord's side. "Of course, the condition is that your order does not conflict with the lord's order, so I will do as you say."

The blood sword revealed an expression of surprise as it looked at Helian Manqiu for a moment. "Demon, if what you say is true, Big Bro will listen to you in the future. As long as you are loyal to the Lord, Big Bro will completely submit to you."

"Then let's watch."

Helian Manqiu shrugged her shoulders and whispered. As expected, the messenger had ordered someone to pass the message and rest here in order to avoid the scorching heat. Miss Helian could not bear it any longer.

The messenger then looked for an inn to rest because he was in a rather remote place where there was no relay station. He could only look for an inn to rest in.

The moonlight was like water, and from the cloudy clouds outside the window, a beautiful face could be seen, shining on the window.

Helian Manqiu lazily closed her eyes as she laid on the bed. The Bloodsword gloomily sat by himself on a chair, sipping a cup of tea, waiting for the uninvited guest to arrive.

Heaven gave birth to a pair of eyebrows, pink cherry lips first ripe cherry, tempting with a smile, curved the clear string in the night sky. Tsinghua University was proud and aloof, proud and aloof in the face of the wind. The peak swayed in the wind as it overlooked the ten thousand miles of glaciers and the endless mountains of snow. It was a sight that would cause anyone's heart to palpitate.

"Monster!"

The cold voice of the blood sword came out from the gap between his teeth as it turned its head away, no longer looking at Helian Manqiu.

"Uncle, sir messenger wants to invite you to view the moon."

The janissaries outside reported that the blood sword looked up through the window, looking at the overcast night sky. It was hard to see even a single star. Within the layers of dark clouds, the moon would occasionally shine through the dark clouds. The moonlight was dim and hazy, and in the blink of an eye, it was covered by dark clouds.

Can you admire the moon in this kind of weather?

The corner of Blood Sword's mouth twitched twice. He walked out of the room and waited for Helian Manqiu to change clothes and follow behind her.

Helian Manqiu brought her sword of blood and her personal soldiers to the courtyard of the messenger. He had long since stood in the courtyard and raised his head as if he was truly admiring the moonlight. However, there were only dark clouds in the sky and it was dark. There was only the lights in the yard and the room.

The blood sword noticed that the door and window of the messenger's room were tightly shut. The heat was so intense that it was likely that the guest who arrived late at night was in the messenger's room, so it was inconvenient for him to see.

"Uncle, please look. Tonight's moonlight is exceptionally hazy."

Helian Manqiu smiled and waved at the rest of the group, signaling them to stay outside of the courtyard. She then strode into the courtyard and softly said to the envoy, "It would be impolite to let your esteemed guest wait for a long time. If Your Excellency does not mind, then I do not mind accompanying you to continue admiring the moon."

When the messenger heard Helian Manqiu's words, a deep and cold light flashed through his eyes. With a cold smile, he asked, "How did you know that a guest has arrived?"

Lightly touching his robe, Helian Manqiu indifferently said, "Tonight is truly a beautiful night to admire the moon."

"Hahaha …"

The messenger suddenly laughed out loud and whispered into Helian Manqiu's ear, "Uncle, you are truly a brilliant and exquisite person. If that's the case, please come in."

After saying this, he personally walked to the door, opened it halfway, and invited Helian Manqiu in.

With a flash of his eyes, he vaguely saw a person sitting on a chair with his back facing the door. The slightly lazy back was shrouded in a gentle light.

Taking a step forward, she looked back at Blood Sword's personal guards and signaled them to stay calm. The messenger personally closed the door and left the room. A few people immediately stood guard in every corner of the courtyard. Even the messenger had no choice but to retreat far away.

The blood sword's gaze turned cold. Who would be the guest in the room that could make an official open and close the door with his own hands and retreat so respectfully to such a distant place?

Could it be as Uncle Zhenbei had said, that the person was from the royal family?

In the room, his white clothes were as warm as snow and jade. With his back facing the door, he heard the sound of the door closing. Only then did he turn around and smile at Helian Manqiu. "Has Qingyu always been well?"

White clothes like snow, a person like jade, clothes like snow, eyes gentle and elegant, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile. The familiar face was unforgettable!

"Your Highness, this subject Jing Bei has ordered Helian Qingyu to pay his respects."

There was a faint smile on Helian Manqiu's beautiful face. She lifted her clothes and slowly kneeled down on one knee. She was waiting. She was waiting for Prince Chen to personally support her so she did not need to kneel down.

Prince Chen didn't reach out to help her. His jade-like face had a warm smile, but there was a trace of coldness in it. He watched her kneel down and kowtow with indifference.

He lowered his head and acted like he was being respectful. He secretly cursed at the king for showing off. If it was really her little brother, he would definitely not forgive this guy. If that wasn't the case, then he felt as though he had kneeled in injustice. He couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at King Chen. Under the light, he looked more similar to his younger brother.

Except for that indifference, the corners of his mouth seemed to never change, unable to reach the smile in his eyes.

"I did not know that Your Highness would come, and this subject did not welcome you from afar. Please forgive me."

At this moment, King Chen finally got up and walked in front of Helian Manqiu. He looked down at Helian Manqiu, who was kneeling on one knee with her head slightly bowed.

When he saw Helian Manqiu raise her eyes to look at him, he did not see her for a long time. This young man had a little more somber air about him, faintly discernible from his lofty and unyielding bones.

"Qing Yu, we have separated for a long time. Today, we will meet again. You have changed a lot. I wonder if your heart, too, has changed? "

Helian Manqiu raised her head and looked at King Chen with a smile that was as faint as the clouds. "Your Highness is still the same as before and is even more elegant than before. This subject has never forgotten to meet Your Highness for the first time."

Hearing Helian Manqiu's words, the smile on Duke Chen's face remained indifferent, showing a trace of ruthlessness and coldness. He lowered his head, his gentle face unchanging from the old days' smile, "Do you still remember the words that Qing Yu said to me?"

"How dare I forget."

They looked into each other's eyes for a while. There was a trace of coldness in the depths of his eyes. The smile on his face became even wider.

"Your status and position are different now. In the eyes of royal father, and in the eyes of the crown prince, you are also the most pampered and indulged general under the command of Elder Mizar. The youngest notable general of the Great Hengkong Empire. Now that I have been summoned by my royal father, after my father has seen you, I am able to see you. "

"This official does not seek for a worthy name, Li Lu, to soar to greatness. This official is only fifteen years old this year, and this subject once said to Your Highness that I only wish for peace in the Military Region. For the Military Region to have such a day, this subject has never forgotten your highness's grace in the slightest. "

Finally, King Chen raised his hand and held Helian Manqiu's arm. He lowered his head and looked down at her, "Qing Yu, you need to remember this. Once you enter the capital, no one will be able to protect you. You will naturally win royal father's respect if you respond carefully in front of him. The person you need to avoid the most is the crown prince. If there is any trouble, I will do my best to protect you.

After saying that, King Chen slowly raised his hand to help Helian Manqiu up from the ground.

"What does Your Highness want?" What can this subject do for His Highness? "

The two of them suddenly looked at each other and laughed. Then, King Chen and Helian Manqiu sat down and quietly left after a long conversation.

Helian Manqiu left the room. The blood sword waited impatiently outside the courtyard for a long time, but did not dare to go in and disturb them. It was only when Helian Manqiu came out that he quietly went around to the back and hid in the dark.

"Who is it?"

King Chen suddenly looked back. His eyes were full of killing intent. The smile on his face didn't change as he looked towards the place where the blood sword was hidden.

Helian Manqiu supported her forehead as she hastily leaped forward to bow and pay her respects, "Your Highness, please forgive me. This subject's personal soldier does not know what's good for himself.

She lifted up her clothes and knelt on one knee. The blood sword also walked out helplessly. She lifted up her clothes and knelt on both knees. She bent down and kowtowed deeply without saying a word.

He dared not let King Chen know his true identity, so he silently knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, don't worry. This person is this subject's trusted aide, and will never reveal his whereabouts. Please forgive me, Your Highness. This subject thanks Your Highness for his grace."

The bloody sword lay prostrate on the ground. He had not expected to be discovered by King Chen, which would bring trouble to Helian Manqiu. It was not good to say anything now to avoid being seen through by the men of King Chen and his men.

Prince Chen smiled, "Qingyu, I've heard that you are a generous man, but you shouldn't be forgiven."

"Yes, this subject thanks Your Highness for his guidance, I will definitely punish this person severely, I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

"How could I care about my whereabouts? Since I dared to come, I'm not afraid of anyone finding out. Qingyu, you're the famous general of Great Hengkong." Imperial Father has entrusted you with the task of bestowing upon you the title of Abstinence Envoy of north of Jingbei, the high position of the north reigning in the city. You are a general in command, you should be strict with your military discipline, and not be careless. "

"Yes, Your Highness. Your subject knows his crimes. It was your subject who failed to properly discipline Your Highness and offended you. May Your Highness grant me a punishment."

"You know it, get up."

After all, the other party was a noble prince after all. He had sneaked in tonight, and if the blood sword had seen through his intention to kill the blood sword, then it would be a piece of cake for him. He would not hesitate to kill him.

"Uncle, I apologize."

The blood sword turned towards Helian Manqiu and fell to one knee once more. He knew that he had caused Helian Manqiu a great trouble. Fortunately, King Chen did not pursue the matter, otherwise, it would have been as easy as crushing an ant to death.
