C268

Helian Manqiu lowered her head and stared fixedly at the imperial report in her hand. This memorial was presented to the old man by Gonggong, which was also presented to the crown prince.

In this way, not only would she be able to get rid of the law king through private intercourse, collude with a foreign country, plot against it, and so on, but she would also be promoted to the rank of an official with a bright future.

After defeating one hundred thousand elite soldiers in one night, they captured a traitor, Duke Ming, severely injured Fifth Prince Duan Zhanchen, and forced the elite soldiers to give up the land they had seized. They retreated all the way to the north of the Han River, losing the opportunity to covet the Central Plains.

He had used a scheme to earn King Lu to the Han River and captured the traitorous King of Law. The title of Duke with such merit was right in front of his eyes!

Raising her head, she looked towards Gan Jianxuan. "Master …"

Her voice trembled slightly. It was enough to ensure that she was safe and sound. On the contrary, she had done a great deed. The crown prince had no reason to make things difficult for her and force her to submit.

Suddenly, the feeling of helplessness caused her to shiver. In this strange Great Hengkong, this world where authority reigned supreme, the crown prince was ridiculous. With a single word, he was able to exterminate nine generations of her family.

"Pa …"

Gan Yuxuan slammed his palm on the table, looking down at Helian Manqiu from his seat: "Do you know your crime? You kept on admitting your wrongs, and even came to me to beg for forgiveness, are you really admitting your wrongs? "

"I beg of you, my lord, please calm your anger. This general understands his guilt."

As he lowered his head and stared at the imperial report in his hand, he lightly signaled toward it. Returning Dust took the imperial reports from Helian Manqiu's hands. Helian Manqiu's hands tightened and the two of them looked at each other. Gui Chen shook his head slightly. His gaze shot toward Helian Manqiu.

He slowly let go and watched as the imperial report was pulled out from his hands. His heart was empty and lost.

Even though he knew that King Lu was not Mo Bai, he still found it difficult to relax.

"My liege, King Lu has been captured by my liege, right?"

He raised his head and looked at Gan Jianxuan. When he saw the cold anger hidden deep in Gan Jianxuan's eyes, Helian Manqiu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Yes, the man was still testing her, suspecting her.

That night in the Northern Kingdom, on his bed, in the nightmare beside him, she had called out the name of Mo Bai!

"Confess your crime?" Helian Qingyu, now that you have come to ask for forgiveness from the Lord, are you willing to let him punish you as he pleases? "

Helian Manqiu lowered her head. "I will let the Lord bestow punishment upon me for knowing my crimes."

"Men, take him down!"

With a command, someone used a leather rope to tie Helian Manqiu's arms tightly behind her back.

Helian Manqiu lowered her head and kneeled on the ground. She did not resist as she took the initiative to put her arms behind her back and let Gan's men bind her tightly. The leather rope was the strongest and strongest of all the ropes. It was only used to bind those brave and outstanding captives, preventing them from being freed.

He didn't expect that today, Gan Yuxuan would tie her up with a leather rope.

Zhong Da couldn't help but panic. He secretly pulled Ding Ziyang's sleeve, and Ding Ziyang fiercely shook his head.

Ding Ziyang peeked at Gan Shixuan for a moment before lowering his head. He had just received the edict from the crown prince, so his lord shouldn't have made things too difficult for Helian Manqiu. Moreover, the Lord knew Helian Manqiu's identity as a woman. He must have felt some pity in his heart, or else he would not have been so angry.

If his master had intended to severely punish Helian Manqiu and take her down for the crime, he would not have seen Helian Manqiu escape the danger and turned around to leave.

At that time, it was Gan Yuxuan who sent the hidden guards to search for the traces of Helian Manqiu. That was the only reason why Helian Manqiu had been able to escape danger.

"Are you not convinced?"

"My lord, this general is completely convinced, and has not thanked the lord for saving my life. This general is ashamed of my lord's kindness, and has allowed the lord to bestow punishment as he pleases. This general only needs to stay by the lord's side to serve you, and does not ask anything else!"

Gan Yuxuan stared at Helian Man for a moment, then waved his hand to dismiss all of his subordinates. Ding Ziyang pulled Zhong Da along and walked out of the main hall. He whispered into Ding Ziyang's ear, "Young General …"

Ding Ziyang shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, she will be fine. If Master intends to punish her severely, then you can take her down and punish her. "Let me see my lord's imperial report. Uncle Yan said that in order to earn King Lu to separate from his subordinates and capture him alive, he obtained evidence of King Lu secretly colluding with a low and low country, thus pretending to be King Lu in order to rescue him and send him to Hanjiang."

When Zhong Da heard this, his heart could not help but loosen up and he let out a long breath.

"How did second brother only tell me now? for making me feel uneasy? "

"I don't know what Uncle will do, for fear that she will refute and anger the Lord."

"Why is Uncle doing this for the King of Law?" It must be known that even if the King of Law hadn't sent assassins that day and had hidden himself among the fresh and inferior soldiers to assassinate the general, the Uncle would not have been so lenient towards the King of Law. "

Ding Ziyang sighed, looked at the hall, and dragged Zhong Da away.

He kept having the feeling that Helian Manqiu was suspicious of the law king when she first met him. A while ago, she had rushed to Binzhou in order to save King Lu, not sparing a single night to defeat the elite soldiers. What was slightly at ease to him was Helian Manqiu's submissiveness today. She had never dared to provoke a conflict with a King of Law over a matter.

Gan Shixuan stood up and walked step by step towards Helian Manqiu.

The enormous pressure made Helian Manqiu feel a chill down her spine. She pursed her lips and looked up at Gan Jianxuan.

The two of them looked at each other, and she straightened her body and knelt on the ground. She watched as Gan Yuxuan walked up to her, but she didn't know what to say.

"Where is the old sharp tongue? Now, you have nothing to say in front of me? "

"My lord, has King Lu been captured alive by my lord?"

Gan Zhixuan sneered. He lowered his head to look at Helian Manqiu, "Do you want to see the Law King?"

Helian Manqiu shook her head. In the end, that man was not Mo Bai. He was not!

Why see you again!

Since it wasn't Mo Bai, the life and death of the Law King had nothing to do with her. Why was she still a little worried in her heart?

His face was grave and stern, and his eyes were dark as far as the eye could see. From this, it could be seen that he had a pair of black crystal heart.

She went to Binzhou overnight, not to help King Lu in secret, but to defraud King Lu of leaving Binzhou and leaving her subordinates, in order to obtain the iron evidence that King Lu had secretly betrayed the country.

She wanted to bring King Lu to Hanjiang, so that everyone would see King Lu having an affair with a foreign country and conspiring to rebel against the country. She wanted everyone to see her in person, so that they would never be able to escape!

In this way, not only was she not at fault, but she was doing great deeds for the nation. Everyone wanted to say that the northern duke of Zhenbei really used troops like gods, plotting and deciding like a god!

In the blink of an eye, waves of emotions surged in her heart. It was unknown just how many years had passed since she last thought about it.

The leather rope was tightly wound into his flesh, and his arms were numb and sore. The feeling of being tightly bound was indescribable.

"The law king is now in this lord's prison!"

Helian Manqiu gave a bitter smile. Even though she knew this was the case, she still asked.

"My lord, why are you protecting me like this?"

He could take her down for questioning before Han Jiang, or even when he was held hostage by King Lu before Han Jiang, before he was held hostage by King Lu, there were too many opportunities for him to take her and King Lu at the same time!

On the Han River, he knew that she had safely escaped danger, so he left. He didn't even see her!

"Hmph …"

Gan Yuxuan coldly snorted. She asked why he was protecting her in such a manner?

If it wasn't to protect her life, why would he go through so much trouble?

"Who gave you the guts to betray me? But do you think that just because you're valued by His Majesty and favored by the crown prince, you won't put this duke in his eyes? "

"Don't mention to me that old fogey, his bastard son, the people from the royal family combined can't even compare to a single strand of your hair!"

Helian Manqiu curled her lips in disdain as she spoke. She crawled two steps forward, knelt and pressed her face against Gan Qianyu's, causing him to take a step back. Helian Manqiu lowered her head in embarrassment as she stared at the tip of his foot.

He turned around and headed straight for the back hall, leaving Helian Manqiu alone in the hall.

He lowered his head and stared at the ground. He did not know when he would kneel down, but his heart relaxed slightly. If it was just a simple punishment of kneeling down, it would be too easy for her.

After an unknown period of time, her entire body went from sore to numb, and her head fell to the ground in a daze. Helian Manqiu woke up for a moment.

He smiled bitterly and almost fell asleep on his knees like that. He hadn't had a good rest recently either. There were too many things on his mind.

"Uncle, please!"

Someone walked over, bowed, and said.

"Where to?"

"The Lord has ordered me to put you in prison."

"My whole body is numb and I don't feel anything. I can't walk. I'll have to trouble you guys to wait."

Helian Manqiu fell to the ground. The pain of millions upon millions of ants gnawing on her body was unbearable at this moment. Cold sweat seeped out of her forehead.

After a long time, the aching pain in her legs gradually subsided and she regained her senses. She stood up with difficulty, and was led away by the personal guards that were willing to give up and locked in the prison cell.

If he didn't want to, one day, he would be trapped in jail, half lying in bed, with a hard bed and a cold air filled with the stench of blood.

She could not help but frown. Even now, the leather rope on her body had not been untied. If she wanted to cut the leather rope, it would be too simple. However, that would mean that if she refused to comply, she would be punished, which would infuriate the lord.

"Look, what a handsome young man. Why is he even more handsome than a girl?"

"It can't be that she is a woman disguising herself as a man? Tsk tsk tsk, this skin is so tender. If you pinch it, it can pinch water out of your skin. I say, little gongzi, what's your name? "

The cold eyes exuded killing intent as they swept over to the few people who spoke. When those people saw Helian Manqiu's gaze, they couldn't help but tremble all over and kept quiet. For a moment, no one dared to say anything.

"Someone, come!"

Helian Manqiu coldly said. Someone hurriedly ran over and knelt on one knee outside the cell. "Master Hou, what are your orders?"

"Those people who were rude to me just now, dig out their eyes and cut off their tongues!"

"Yes, this lowly one obeys!"

The head of the prison kowtowed respectfully and waved his hand to order the men to bring out those men with a cold smile. "He must be tired of living if he dares to offend Master Hou. I'll pull him down and carry out his orders!"

"Spare me, please …"

A few of them gagged and the entire cell went silent. They used gazes of reverence to look at Helian Manqiu, who had her back to the door of the cell.

"Master Hou?" "Which marquis?"
