C22 (2/2)

Perhaps she was born with the talent to become a general, and shouldn't be like other mediocre women who taught their sons at home.

Leading soldiers on the battlefield and giving orders in front of all the generals, she had a grandeur that could make one lose their mind.

Silently, as long as it was her choice, he would always follow by her side. It wasn't only because of the kindness Helian Shan had shown to his father and son, but also because of her.

”Ah Man, where you are, is where I want to go!”

With a light sentence, he chose to face difficulties. Even if his future was difficult, with her here, it would be the best scenery.

”Thank you very much.”

”In the future, don't thank me. Ah Man, I will do my best to protect you.”

Helian Manqiu reached out her hand to grasp Lu Keyu's hand. ”I will remember your words. You are not to forget them!”

Lu Keyu's gaze was warm and gentle like a river spring. He felt the softness of his palm without any bones, and felt his heart palpitate. She was still a fourteen year old girl. Now, she had to face all sorts of complicated situations on her own and take the risk to visit Gan Yuxuan and invite him to descend.

She had already shouldered too many responsibilities and burdens, but he couldn't help her share them. The only thing he could do was wait by her side and treat her.

”Cars, horses, Xiao Xiao, pedestrians with bows and arrows at their waists, grandma and wife walking to send off, dust stained the military bridge. The old and young were all in a hurry, and the burden was on their shoulders, causing them to perspire profusely. Who knows how many sons of men have died since the city was formed. ”

Helian Manqiu's eyes were filled with sympathy. She could not bear to see the destruction inflicted upon the entire Junzhou City. If she continued to persevere, how long would she be able to last? Every second of perseverance was in exchange for a living person's life.

”Young General, we've arrived at the east gate. How do we get out?”

Luan City stopped and opened the carriage curtains. He had left through the east gate and descended from the city walls. However, there was a carriage and Helian Manqiu was injured, so it was impossible for him to descend from the city walls.

”Open the gate, we're leaving through the gate.”

”Young General, the city gates have already been blocked. I'm afraid we'll need some time to clean them out.”

”Clean it up quickly.”

”Yes, Young General, please wait.”

Luan City quickly gave the order for the soldiers to clear the way.

”Reporting to the lord, the east gate of the military region opened and a carriage came out. Luan City will be here once more, and Helian Shan has personally come to pay his respects to Lord. ”

”Have you seen Helian Shan himself?”

”No, Luan Cheng said that Helian Shan was severely injured in the carriage. In order to prevent the news from being leaked, he did not show himself.”

”Let them in.”

Gan Zhixuan sat in the Commander's tent and was in discussion with the generals, so as to understand the details of the siege last night. What he was most interested in were, of course, the weapons that the military region had used last night. They were weapons that he had never seen or heard of.

”By using everything in the Military Region and the methods used to create those weapons, you've come to beg for my surrender. Helian Mountain, sure enough, you've personally come to beg for my surrender.”

”My lord, the people from the Military Region are asking for an audience.”

”Pass.”
