Cheng Ting watched the two go out, feeling scared for a while, secretly shaking his hands for a moment, and felt a little urgent to urinate.

Liu Boyu tentatively said: "Third Master, why don't you go to the front and wait? I'll go to the official room."

Cheng Ting stood up suddenly: "I'll go with you."

Liu Boyu secretly thought that Cheng Ting was rough but fine, and he was still not at ease at this moment, so he could only grit his teeth and nod.

He urinated long and urgently in the official room, and Cheng Tingshun relaxed for a while. The two returned to the study and kowtowed melon seeds to each other for a while. When their mouths were parched, Yin Bei took Su Mingquan walked in.

When he went out, Su Mingquan was covered in dust, and when he came back, the dust was still there, and there were a lot of blood stains on it.

"Master," he stood behind Liu Boyu, "The two masters of the third room also want to enter the warehouse, so I stopped them."

Liu Boyu stared at the big blood stains on his body, knowing that the two masters were probably lying down forever.

He knew that when Su Mingquan couldn't control his anger, he would lose control.

It wasn't good - for those two idiots trying to seize power - but it was good for him.

Yin Bei was calm about all the bloodshed, bowed to Cheng Ting and said, "Third Lord, it's all set."

"Okay," Cheng Ting patted Liu Boyu on the shoulder, "I still have to work hard for you to send me out."

Liu Boyu sent Cheng Ting out with a sad face, and when he saw the fully loaded Taiping truck in the front yard, he was so heartbroken that he almost shed tears on the spot.

However, Cheng Ting still wanted to rub salt on his wounds: "It's still you who leak ships and become rich. My father has been an official all his life, and he can't afford a car."

Liu Boyu smiled indifferently: "Where, I only have these savings."

Cheng Ting jumped into the car, waved to him, and jumped out of the Taiping car when he was out of Liujiaxiang, urging Yin Bei: "Go, it's going to rain, don't get your things wet."

Yin Bei nodded, raised his whip, drove the first Taiping car, and led the rest of the people away at speed.

Cheng Ting breathed a sigh of relief, and strode home.

The streets are filled with lingering uneasiness and bewilderment, and the garrison troops patrol the streets in groups, turning this place into a real border crossing.

Many wealthy households brought their families and hurried out of the city to Jeju to escape. More people had nowhere to go and could only stay where they were, resigning themselves to their fate.

The peddler didn't dare to open his throat to shout, and only shouted twice when he saw someone passing by.

Cheng Ting bought a basket of big and red fresh pomegranates from a pomegranate peddler. The peddler made a little money, then smiled and gave the basket to Cheng Ting.

"Master Cheng! Master, wait!"

Cheng Ting turned his head with the basket in his hand, and saw Wu Yi rushing forward from behind, panting heavily: "Master, are you raising food?"

"Yes," Cheng Ting took out a pomegranate and stuffed it for him, "how is the sugar store business?"

"Thanks to the third master, there is no business, and the flies don't come to the door." Wu Yi took the pomegranate, and took out two 100 tael silver notes from his pocket with his left hand, "I will raise food for you, one for my brother and one for me."

Cheng Ting took the bank note: "You are sensible."

"Aniang asked me to come," Wu Yi smiled, "I was ignorant before, but now I have changed."

Cheng Ting took out another pomegranate and handed it to him: "Have you heard from Wu Jin?"

"Not yet, the last letter was still Dragon Boat Festival," Wu Yi asked suddenly, "General Mo also wants to join the battle?"

Cheng Ting nodded: "She is the deputy commander of the army, leading [-] soldiers, so she naturally wants to join the battle."

"Miss Mo is really a blockbuster!"

When he talked about Mo Lingfeng, it was like talking about an unattainable stranger. Looking back on the past, it was even unbelievable—why did their family get involved with the Mo family, and why were they strangers?
Cheng Ting was full of pride and complacency: "She has been different from others since she was a child. When the three of us, your brother and I, were studying together, she was the most courageous, daring to take snakes out of tree holes."

He stopped his endless show off: "I have to go, if you have something to do, you can find me at home."

"Yes, third master, go slowly."

Cheng Ting ran all the way home, first put the basket in front of Xu Huiran, giggled twice, without wiping off his sweat, took out a pomegranate from the basket, and ran to the bamboo forest in the backyard.

The bamboo forest is swaying with the wind, rustling, and leaves are all over the ground. In the middle is a small stone statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sitting on a green lotus flower.

Cheng Ting stepped on the bamboo leaves, bent down and swept away the fallen leaves from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and then swept away the bamboo leaves in front of the Buddha statue, and offered a large fresh pomegranate in front of the Buddha statue.

Kneeling down on both knees, he clasped his hands together, bowed three times, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, the battle of Lefeng is not easy, it is very dangerous, you must protect her and come back alive."

His eye circles were a little red: "Lee Feng is younger than me, if it's just in case, how can uncle bear it?"

He sniffled, not daring to think about it.

Kneeling for a while, he got up, patted a few bamboo leaves hanging on his knees, came out from the bamboo forest, and turned his head to look at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva again.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva holds a jewel in his left hand and a tin staff in his right. He is as restless as the earth, and his meditation is as deep as a secret treasure.

Cheng Ting wiped away his tears and sweat, and before he even lifted his foot, he saw Pang Dahai coming towards him like gunpowder.

"Third Master, Master Shi is looking for you, saying that it is extremely urgent."

"Why is everything so urgent?" Cheng Ting walked towards the front yard.

Shi Yuan stood at the gate of the courtyard, pacing back and forth, his head was covered with sweat, when he saw Cheng Ting, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Ting's arms: "Why can't the Mo family enter?"

Cheng Ting asked inexplicably, "Are you looking for my uncle?"

"No, Jiedushi and I." Shi Yuan said incoherently, "I'm looking for Yin Bei! It's the chief steward of the Mo family!"

Cheng Ting immediately said: "He's not here, he went to the fortress to deliver something."

In Yin Bei's absence, the door of Mo Mansion was naturally closed, not even a fly was allowed to enter.

He frowned: "Do you have something for Lefeng?"

"Yes, when did you leave?" Shi Yuan stomped his feet vigorously, "Why is it so untimely!"

"Hurry up, maybe you can catch up, I'll go with you," Cheng Ting turned around and shouted to Pang Dahai, "Prepare your horse!"

The two hurried out of Cheng's mansion, got on their horses, and galloped out of the racecourse. The streets were empty and the road was unimpeded. However, when they arrived at the Shuo River, the heavy suspension bridge was slowly closing.

"Wait! Wait!" Cheng Ting shouted anxiously, "There are still things! Yin Bei!"

His cries were drowned out by the creak of the drawbridge, and then with a boom, the drawbridge closed.

The soldiers by the Shuo River remained motionless, their faces full of vigilance.

Yin Bei was able to enter and exit the fortress because of Mo Lingfeng. If he wanted to send things in again, he had to wait for Yin Bei to come out of the fortress.

Shi Yuan's anxiety has turned into annoyance, he only regrets that he slept for half an hour last night!

If he only slept for two hours, he must have caught up by now.

He slapped himself hard: "I told you to make a mistake!"

Cheng Ting grabbed his hand, "Don't panic, wait for Yin Bei to come out, and let him see you off."

He couldn't help asking: "Wu Jin's letter?"

Shi Yuan nodded, then shook his head: "Yes, and no, it's different from usual, it should be very important."

He didn't show the letter to Cheng Ting, he broke away from Cheng Ting's hand, and paced back and forth in place, his back was wet and sweaty.
