Ni Junfeng stood up and stared at his kindness for a moment. He lowered his head and respectfully stood at the side with his eyes looking at his nose, nose looking at his mouth, and heart asking. He quietly waited for Ni Junfeng's instructions.
Ni Junfeng smiled for a moment before saying, ”I didn't expect that since uncle has already arrived, I didn't receive any message from uncle to pass on to me. It would be rude of me.”
”Lord, it's not my fault for not knowing. This uncle has always been a man of etiquette.”
After hearing these words of kindness, Ni Junfeng indifferently said, ”Even so, you can't act rashly.”
He immediately sent people to gather the high-ranking officials of Jing Prefecture and waited at the garrison to meet Helian Manqiu. He personally led his trusted aides and the officials and generals who were present at the scene to rush to the inn to greet Helian Manqiu.
Not long after, Ni Junfeng personally welcomed Helian Manqiu to the Jing Prefecture's garrison palace. At this moment, all the officials and generals at all levels outside the garrison palace were informed of the matter regarding Uncle Bei's personal guard. They all rushed over to respectfully greet the lord of the manor.
In their eyes, Helian Manqiu was merely the master of Jing Bei in name. However, they did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent because Gongyue Xuan had already passed down the order to them.
When Helian Manqiu arrived at the garrison, she saw many officials kneeling on the ground and respectfully welcoming her to Jing Prefecture. She knew that Jia Yu Xuan must have given the order beforehand, otherwise, she wouldn't have such great face to be able to make the officials of Jing Prefecture greet her with such courtesy.
With this momentum, she could easily report back to the messenger and the old man.
”Everyone, please rise. No need to be so courteous.”
A slightly hoarse and sweet voice came from far away, causing all the generals to secretly nod. This young general's inner strength was indeed great, no wonder he was known for his valor and his use of weapons like a god.
Helian Manqiu had a warm smile on her face as she urged her horse to the front of the mansion and jumped off the horse. Ni Junfeng respectfully invited Helian Manqiu in and sat her down.
Everyone followed him into the main hall of the garrison. Under Ni Junfeng's lead, they greeted Helian Manqiu once again.
Ni Junfeng knelt on one knee and said with his head lowered, ”General Jing Prefecture's garrison general, Ni Junfeng, pays his respects to Great Master. Please forgive me for the late arrival.”
”Please rise.”
Facing this young general, no one present had any thoughts of underestimating him. This astonishingly talented youth had long become the most famous general in the Great Hengkong Empire.
Everyone secretly peeked at him. Although there was a warm smile on the face of the most beautiful youth in the Northern Frontier, his cold, arrogant, murderous, and heroic vibe caused their hearts to involuntarily tremble.
”Uncle, I have been waiting for you to come. I did not expect you to come to Jing Prefecture today.” This lowly general did not know that this uncle had arrived and did not welcome you from afar. I beg your forgiveness, sir. ”
Ni Junfeng apologized once again.
Helian Manqiu smiled and said, ”It is not the fault of the ignorant. I came in a hurry and did not send anyone to inform you in advance. So there is no need to stand on ceremony. I am the most unceremonious person to begin with, so there is no need for all of you to be overly courteous. The matter of me coming here has been reported to the Lord, and everything will be done according to the Lord's orders. ”
As these words fell into the ears of the crowd, they had no idea that the young Lord Jing Bei was speaking freely or perfunctorily.
Regardless of whether the uncle's words were true or false, they would only listen to the command and did not think that they had already been divided into different territories.
Seeing the reaction of the generals, Helian Manqiu's smile turned as tranquil as smoke. She did not mean Jing Bei, but only that person.
”Ni Junfeng, has master given any orders yet?”
”Reporting to Uncle, Lord has ordered me to follow everything you say. Uncle is now the Lord of Northern Jing, and Jing Bei's affairs have recently been transferred to Uncle, so naturally, Uncle will handle them.”
Helian Manqiu nodded and smiled, ”My Lord knows how to hire me as a labourer. He thinks that I'm rather unfamiliar with Jing Bei's affairs and yet, my Lord has asked me to deal with his matters. Even more so with the oracle, I had to force myself to do it. This time, I want to stay in Jing Bei for a few days, with the Lord's order for everything, and with everyone's help, I shall trouble everyone. ”
”Uncle, you are serious. We are all your subordinates. We will naturally do as you say.”
Ni Junfeng absolutely refused to give it up. Helian Manqiu's eyes were deep and unfathomable as she said with a hint of chilliness: ”Jing Bei is the territory under the Lord. I, Helian Qingyu, am also his subordinate. When the Lord General handed over Jing Bei's matters to me, I shall handle it impartially. If any of you think that I handled any of your matters unjustly, you can report it to the Lord. However, under my orders, if anyone disobeys my orders, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
When he said this, Helian Manqiu's voice contained a faint dignified killing intent. Her sharp and murderous gaze swept across the generals' bodies.
All the generals lowered their heads in contemplation, thinking about the meaning behind these words.
They were well aware that their lord had recently handed over all of Jing Bei's matters to Uncle Zhen Bei to handle personally and to review all of the official documents. This matter had caused a huge uproar in Jing Bei even before Helian Manqiu had arrived. The generals did not understand why Jia Yue Xuan had done this.
These days, all of Jing Bei's official documents were personally written and answered by Helian Manqiu. They understood that it was an order to give to Xuan, but in their hearts, they were more or less unconvinced.
After half a month, Helian Manqiu was finally able to handle all the affairs that had happened. There was no negligence or negligence, and they had also heard that Helian Manqiu had always gone along with Gongshi Xuan and slept together with him. Thus, he thought that these replies were only with the tacit approval of Gongfu Xuan.
