"Master Liu, don't you think I don't know that you haven't been in your room for a long time? If I'm not mistaken, it should be two hours, right?"

"Besides, I am not just guessing. Someone told me this in private!"

Liu Dingguo was shocked when he suddenly heard his affirmative answer.

He was away for more than two hours. He had been away from his room for the entire afternoon and morning.

It was precisely because he wanted to avoid meeting Chu Mobai that he hid in the backyard. Everyone in the Ministry of War knew where he was but they just deliberately didn't tell Chu Mobai.

But Cui Wenhong's words made Liu Dingguo feel scared.

After all, only the entire Ministry of War knew how long Liu Dingguo had been hiding. If someone in the Ministry of War told Cui Wenhong, it would be a big deal.

This means that someone inside the Ministry of War tipped off the Censorate. The Censorate has never been a match for the six ministries, and none of the six ministries likes people from the Censorate.

Thinking of this horrible thing, Liu Dingguo felt a little numb.

Cui Wenhong continued.

"It seems that Lord Liu has tacitly acknowledged the fact that he has neglected his duties. If that is the case, I will not say much. After I return to the Censorate, I will verify the facts and prepare to write a memorial."

"I hope Sir Liu doesn't have to worry. This is all just my duty. I won't exaggerate anything in the memorial, and I won't wrongly accuse Sir Liu."

After saying this, Cui Wenhong was ready to leave.

But Liu Dingguo did not hesitate and quickly stopped him.

"Master Cui! Master Cui, don't leave!"

"Mr. Cui, what do you mean by this? Are you making fun of me? I have never offended you. Do you really want to embarrass me in front of so many colleagues?"

Liu Dingguo was obviously angry. What did Cui Wenhong mean to treat him like this?

He still said with an angry look on his face.

"You imperial censors are all the same. If you have the guts, go back and write a memorial to impeach me. I don't care!"

Liu Dingguo originally thought that by saying this, Cui Wenhong would be scared, but Cui Wenhong looked indifferent.

Liu Dingguo obviously despised Cui Wenhong's attitude.

Cui Wenhong is a civil servant with a very tough character. Apart from the incident with Qian Ruoyu, he has never been in a weak state and he is not afraid of any official.

Liu Dingguo was obviously a military officer. He originally thought that he could scare Cui Wenhong by frightening him, but he did not expect that this incident would further strengthen Cui Wenhong's determination.

Cui Wenhong sneered.

"Okay, since you have made up your mind, Master Liu, what else do I have to say?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Liu Dingguo's eyes, and he regretted it.

If he had known that Cui Wenhong was so weak, he would not have said such things.

Just when he was about to give in, Chu Mobai walked towards the corridor from the hall.

"Master Liu!"

Chu Mobai shouted loudly.

"Master Liu, you have made me wait so long!"

One thing is unresolved and it comes again.

The reason why he hid behind was to avoid Chu Mobai, but he didn't expect Chu Mobai to take the initiative to stand up at this time, and Qian Ruoyu did not follow Chu Mobai.

Qian Ruoyu knew very well that it was already good enough for her to be able to sit in the hall. If she continued to follow, she might be suspected of interfering in politics.

Although Qian Ruoyu was manipulating all of this, she knew that she had to stick to her bottom line and not let anyone use this as an excuse to slander Chu Mobai.

After Chu Mobai walked over, he spoke directly to Liu Dingguo.

"Lord Liu, I need a military token to mobilize troops. I have already discussed it with several generals in the court and have also agreed with your Lord Shangshu to dispatch 6,000 troops to Jiayu Pass. Now I am waiting for your military token."

Cui Wenhong did not speak at this time.

Because Cui Wenhong knew that Qian Ruoyu asked him to help mainly for the purpose of helping Chu Mobai find Liu Dingguo.

He already knew the outcome of this matter when he saw Chu Mobai, so naturally he wouldn't say anything more at this time.

Liu Dingguo wanted to find an excuse to shirk the responsibility, but Chu Mobai continued.

"Lord Liu, you don't need me to ask anyone to approve this matter. His Majesty has already agreed. It's just a matter of dispatching 6,000 soldiers, and the military token is in your hands."

"Master Cui is here too. You are not going to say that your military token is not in your hand? Did you lose it?"

Chu Mobai also realized at this time that with Cui Guotong here, things would be easier, so he spoke.

Liu Dingguo was sandwiched between Chu Mobai and Cui Wenrong on his left and right, and he had no way of getting rid of both of them at the same time.

Moreover, if the military token is not taken out at this time, Cui Wenhong on the side will intervene again.

Helplessly, Liu Dingguo had to nod and said with a bitter look.

"This, the Minister has also told me about this matter... Indeed... Indeed, three transfer orders and military tokens are needed, but this matter has yet to be discussed... Moreover, the Ministry of Revenue has not allocated any money..."

Just as he was about to continue to refuse, Qian Ruoyu took out a document.

"No need. The Ministry of Revenue has already given the silver. This is the silver for the food and wages for the 6,000 troops. The total is 18,000 taels of silver. With your military token, we can prepare to send it to the three border towns."

Chu Mobai naturally knew that if one of the two sides failed to deal with it, they would both blame each other, so he went to the Ministry of Revenue as soon as possible, and found a way to get the documents issued by the Ministry of Revenue, and then went to the Ministry of War to waste time.

Liu Dingguo never thought that things would develop like this, and he had no way to continue to procrastinate, so he nodded and returned to his room.

Not long after, he appeared in front of Chu Mobai with another document and a military token.

He handed over the documents and military token with both hands helplessly.

"My Lord, this is what you wanted."

Although he looked helpless, Chu Mobai was extremely happy in his heart. He never thought that Cui Wenhong would help him in this matter.

He knew without even thinking that Cui Wenhong was obviously related to Qian Ruoyu. He couldn't even imagine what this woman of his had done to make Cui Wenhong come here.

How could she, a woman, know the eunuch and even get Cui Wenhong to help her? I'm really curious!

However, she does have some demeanor of a mistress of the house, and can be considered a qualified princess.

Chu Mobai usually disliked censors like Cui Wenhong, but now he felt that the censor was somewhat cute.
