"Pass down the order, we will set out immediately!"

"Uncle, the troops, horses, and rations have not been allocated properly, so I can't take the risk."

The messenger sat at the side, not saying a word. He was a member of the Teng Clan, and not only was he here to pass down the order, but he was also here to spy on Helian Manqiu, who was somewhat loyal to the crown prince.

He had been ordered not to interfere with Helian Manqiu, but to watch.

"We can't delay any longer. Right now, the Elite Warriors have already reached the Middle Level. Once the Middle Level falls, it will no longer be possible to stop the Elite Soldiers for hundreds of miles. I need to get to the Middle Level as soon as possible, and I definitely won't allow any inferior people to get there! "

"But uncle, you don't have many people by your side right now. If you leave just like that, you might be in danger."

"Once this pass is broken, there will be no doubt that the people will be killed, and the capital will be endangered. Although I only brought you people with me, I have to rush over to the Middle Level all night long, blocking Duke Ming and the other races from entering the Middle Level all the time. As long as I am here, I will be at the middle level. "

The envoy could not help but secretly nod and his heart was at ease. Not to mention what kind of intentions Uncle Zhen had towards the crown prince, he did not feel that it was illusory for him to act on behalf of the country and become a citizen.

"Pass my orders …"

Numerous orders were passed down from Helian Manqiu's mouth. She quickly sent a message to all parts of north Jing with her messenger eagle, summoning troops and sending them to deliver food and fodder.

Helian Manqiu personally led a small number of her personal guards and rushed all the way to the Middle Pass on the way. On the way, she changed her horse and didn't change anyone, and her messenger was jolted and pained to the point of not daring to stop for even a moment. She could only inwardly complain that she was running at full speed all the way.

"Reporting to uncle, we are still a day away from the pass. We have already received uncle's order and ordered for the pass to be given the name of uncle. The fresh soldiers will retreat for the time being and watch from the sidelines."

"In reply to Your Highness, a banner suddenly appeared in the Tomb of the North, calling for Qing Yu!"

Hearing this, Duan Zhan Chen's face paled and he hastily ordered the elite soldiers to retreat. He didn't want Helian Qing Yu to arrive so quickly. In just a moment, he had arrived at Jiu Ju Pass and displayed the banner. He couldn't help but feel anxious inside.

"Order people to inform the Crown Prince of the news immediately."

"Yes."

Seeing that they had been given the name of Zhenbei Uncle, the rest of the elite soldiers couldn't help but secretly sigh in relief. That young uncle's heroic reputation had obviously shocked all the elites. They immediately retreated after seeing the name of the flag.

Duke Ming, along with his men, rushed over to Duan Zhan Chen's side, "Your Highness, may I ask why Your Highness has suddenly withdrawn your troops?"

Duan Zhan Chen inclined his head as he stared at the city, "Didn't Duke Ming see that the banner at the top of the city has changed?"

Seeing that the fresh and inferior soldiers had retreated, Duke Ming hurried over to inquire about the situation. He had not paid attention to the change in the flag of the pass, so when he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head to look at the city.

He saw the name "Helian" floating on top of the city wall with the word "Zhenbei" written on it. He was a prince, how could he not see that this was the name of a Count?

At this moment, in the Great Hengkong Empire, Helian has the surname of Helian and holds the northern position. Only the legendary legendary young general Helian Qingyu was able to do so!

"Helian Qingyu!"

Duke Ming couldn't help but clench his fists, looked up for a while, and then laughed coldly, "I didn't think that you would be so timid just because you're the banner of a yellow-toothed kid, and order your troops to abandon the city and not attack. This King has heard that His Highness is a famous hero in the fresh and humble world. He is valiant and invincible.

Duan Zhanchen coldly stared at Duke Ming, "Since Your Highness has said so, I hope that you can meet Uncle Zhen for a while. If Your Highness returns with victory, this prince will present a banquet to invite Your Highness over."

"Hmph. You are but a dog that has lost its home. Who do you think you are? How dare you act so rudely in front of my Prince? "

The valiant general standing beside Duan Zhanchen gripped his saber and spoke with a heavy killing intent, "If you have the ability, go and fight uncle Zhen Bei. You can also see that the kid with yellow teeth is more than a hundred times stronger than you!"

Duke Ming was furious, but he didn't dare to show it. He could only suppress his anger and try his best to explain with a smile.

"Everyone, look at how this lowly person withdrew after seeing your banner. No matter how difficult it is, you must guard this place. Tonight, your uncle will be here!"

Helian Manqiu had taken off her pants in the tent. She saw that both her thighs had been torn, and blood kept seeping out from the bloody wounds. She couldn't help but shake her head. Even with the softest layers of cotton covering her thighs and saddle, she couldn't stop herself from running through the night.

After changing the medicine and wrapping it up, she could not help but let out a sigh of relief. The fresh soldiers temporarily retreated, and tonight they would be able to arrive at the Middle Level. Those weapons should also be delivered tonight.

As long as they could hold on for two days, the reinforcements of weapons, provisions and reinforcements would arrive at the city in a steady stream. Even if she didn't have the weapons, she would still be able to hold on for a few days as long as she was there.

"Qingyu, I'll send you the medicine."

He had originally wanted to directly break into Helian Manqiu's tent, but he was stopped by the personal guards of Helian Manqiu.

The janissaries couldn't help but secretly wipe their cold sweat. Their uncle was a woman, and he was bandaging the wounds on his thighs. How could he let the blood sword see through them?

"Come in, big brother Lao."

Xue Jian glared at the janissaries and muttered: "She's not a girl. What's there to avoid? They're all men's bodies, so what would I have if I saw them?"

When he entered the tent, he smelled a faint scent of blood. He saw the bright red blood in the basin, the soaked blood on the ground, pieces of cotton and cushions stuffed with cotton.

"Bro, your thighs are worn out, right?"

"You dare to say that you are completely fine?"

Helian Manqiu glanced at the blood sword with disdain. She lay on the bed, not even bothering to say a word. It was as if the bones in her body had been scattered.

The Blood Sword shrugged. "Big Brother has long gotten used to it. His skin is rough and thick, but not as delicate as yours. I don't have anything to do with it. You can look at it if you don't believe me."

Helian Manqiu curled her lips. Closing her eyes, she was unwilling to waste her energy to argue with the blood sword over such a trivial matter. "Has the Lord sent troops?"

"The lord has already sent out troops. The lord has sent a secret letter. Do you want to see it?"

"Oh, he wrote to me? "How strange!"

The blood sword shook the secret letter in his hand as he smiled and said, "Brother Qingyu, are you still as comfortable as when we rode together in the arms of our lord?"

"Bring it here."

The meaning behind opening the letter to Gonggong was the same as that of the crown prince. She was ordered not to put her life on the line, and only to hold her ground and defend against those who were inferior to her.

There were only a few words, but they were all spoken in a formal manner. There was not a single word to describe the feeling of missing, but only a bit of coldness and indifference could be seen in them.

Helian Manqiu gritted her teeth and threw the letter out. The blood sword hurriedly caught it and swept a glance at the letter. However, she did not know why Helian Manqiu was so sullen and unhappy.

"Helian Qingyu, don't you dare rely on the Lord's indulgence and lenient treatment towards you. You think that just because you've presented yourself to His Majesty and have the support of the crown prince, you can treat your master's personal letter with such contempt. Could it be that you have ulterior motives towards your master? "

Helian Manqiu coldly glanced at the blood sword, coldly snorted and turned her head away. "I am sleepy and need to sleep for a while. Please go and rest for a bit, big brother."

Bloodsword walked up to Helian Manqiu in a few steps and grabbed her collar. "Tell me, why do you think you can be so rude to your master's handwritten letter?"

"Let go!"

The two of them stared at each other for a moment. Then, the Blood Sword finally gently placed Helian Manqiu on the ground. It angrily sat beside her and glared at her.

"I will send him a letter every day, so he will use these words to cover for me!"

When he saw Helian Manqiu bite his lips, his enchanting face could not help but cover his eyes. "Demoness, what do you want to do? Is it possible that you have some ulterior motive towards your master? "Damn it, quickly put that thought of yours away!"

"Puff …"

Helian Manqiu had the urge to spit out blood. She was just luring Gan Yuxuan into having a crush on her, but she didn't really have any feelings for that man.

"Yeah, I'm just interested in Gan Zhixuan. He hasn't said anything yet, so why are you so nervous?"

"How dare you!"

"Why would I not dare?"

Blood Sword paced back and forth inside the tent as he glared fiercely at Helian Manqiu. "Although I have lost to you, if you dare to have such thoughts towards your lord and ruin his reputation, I will not be lenient towards you!"

"Do you have to go through so much trouble to be willing to give it to me? If he doesn't have that kind of thought, why would you bother? "

Hearing Helian Manqiu's words, the Bloodsword went berserk. He remembered that ever since his master had seen this monster, his attitude and speech had been very different from before.

Later on, he indulged himself even more. From the military region to the fresh and low, from the fresh and low to the golden city, he couldn't help but begin to suspect that his master was actually quite interested in this beautiful young man.

Suddenly, both of them looked towards the direction of the pass. Faint sounds of horse hooves, shouts and attacks could be heard.

"This is bad. The barbarians have started attacking the barrier again. I'm afraid the barrier will not be able to defend itself."

Helian Manqiu immediately jumped up and shouted, "Let's set out immediately! We are going to Ju Kuan!"

"Rumble …"

After a series of explosions, flames rose in the dark night. After the dazzling lights from the explosions, the soldiers that had been attacked immediately fell from the city walls like kites with their strings cut.

"Uncle is here, uncle Zhenbei is here!"

"Uncle Zhenbei … Uncle Zhenbei …"

A loud shout rang out from the top of the city walls, echoing all the way to Duan Zhanchen's ears.

Duan Zhan Chen clenched his fist tightly, before he raised his head and gazed at the peak of the city. His white robes were like snow, and even though it was impossible to see his features clearly, the unmatched elegance exuded from his body.

"Swoosh …"

The sound of the strong bow could not be heard. Among the low and fresh people, there was someone who had used a strong bow to shoot a cold arrow at Helian Manqiu, who was standing at the top of the city.

"No!"

Duan Zhan Chen turned pale with fright. He couldn't help but shout out, but he was unable to stop the sharp arrow shot out by the strong bow. It shot towards the top of the city wall like a bolt of lightning, at Helian Manqiu's chest!
