Inside the courtyard, a large group of people were locked in a stalemate.

Mo Qingcheng was speechless: "Officer Ling, Officer Ma, you've worked hard. Please come in and have a cup of hot tea!"

Ling Feng is one of the eight secret guards of the Imperial Inspector, while Ma Yun is Qi Yuanwei's capable assistant.

Shangguan Yichen's lips curled into a smile as he crossed his arms and looked up.

Bai Ziming tilted his head and rolled around, exclaiming, "Wow, Mommy is so cool!"

The weather was dry and cold, so Mo Qingcheng quickly ushered the person into the living room. There was a charcoal fire burning, and the person's chill was dispelled as soon as they entered the room.

Ling Feng, having traveled a long way, handed the letter to Mo Qingcheng with both hands. After a sip of hot tea, he felt completely revitalized.

"Xi'er, have some refreshments." Mo Qingcheng called out towards the door, quickly unfolded the letter, and frowned slightly.

Ma Yun sat to the side, feeling uneasy. What if Lady Ruyi...?

Mo Qingcheng looked serious and turned to ask Ma Yun what Qi Yuanwei wanted to see her about.

Qi Yuanwei nearly choked on his tea. "I had no idea..."

Shangguan Yunxi and Mu Wanqing brought over several plates of snacks for Ling Feng and the others to have a bite to eat.

Bai Ziming scurried in and shoved a cup of hot milk into Ling Feng's hand: "Brother Feng, here you go."

Ling Feng was stunned, and quickly refused: "Cough cough... You can drink it, thank you!"

"Brother Feng, you're injured. Drinking this will boost your immunity..." The little guy's eyes were full of worry, his little mouth pursed, and it looked like he was about to drop a bean into his mouth.

Mo Qingcheng frowned slightly: "Officer Ling, this is just a kind gesture from the child, please drink it."

Ling Feng was a little embarrassed, and drank the milk in one gulp.

Mu Wanqing's eyes darted around, and she shoved a bottle of pills into Ling Feng's hand: "Brother Feng, here you go!"

Ling Feng: "..."

Mo Qingcheng: "..."

Shangguan Yichen: "..."

Ling Feng was flattered, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted into his nostrils: "Thank you!"

Bai Ziming and Mu Wanqing exchanged a glance, then happily squatted down next to Ling Feng, acting very obsequiously. Shangguan Yunxi was at a 45-degree angle, and Mo Mo turned her head.

Mo Qingcheng asked Ma Yunke to pass on a message to Qi Yuanwei, saying that there was an urgent matter and that he should go to the county government office in three days.

Ling Feng and the others quickly ate something and mounted their horses.

Shangguan Yichen took a deep breath: "Mother, I'll go with you."

Mo Qingcheng was silent for a moment: "Okay!"

That brat still doesn't trust me, so I'll let him come along...

As darkness fell, Ling Feng and his group arrived at a precipice, their expressions grave: "My master is down there."

"Okay!" Mo Qingcheng nodded, whistled, and a white shadow flashed. Who else could it be but Bai Yi?

A hint of surprise flashed in Ling Feng's eyes: "Lady Mo, I'll take you down."

"Need not!"

"no!"

Mo Qingcheng: "..."

You've already said it all. It's just going down a cliff. What's the big deal?

Bai Yi received Shangguan Yichen's cold gaze, reached out and grabbed Mo Qingcheng's waist, and leaped down.

Mo Qingcheng: "..."

Ling Feng took a deep breath and followed closely behind with Shangguan Yichen.

A cold smirk curled at the corner of the young boy's lips. He'd gotten a free ride...

Bai Yi suddenly stiffened, lost his footing, and nearly got shot dead on the spot.

A woman's soft laughter reached his ears: "Bai Yi, are you up to the task?"

A suspicious blush crept onto Bai Yi's ears: "Who do you think you are?"

Mo Qingcheng's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Bai Yi, do you have a woman you like?"

"..." Bai Yi's face flushed red: "You don't need to worry about it."

"How can that be? You and Hei Yi are both my people..."

Pooh!

shameless!

Bai Yi cursed inwardly, desperately trying to keep his mouth shut. His wife was too fierce; he was afraid of getting beaten up.

Suddenly, a fierce cry rang out in the air. Mo Qingcheng looked up, her eyes narrowing: "Quick, put me down!"
