The direction of this book has changed! Zhao Yunwan, Xiao Ding, you just wait and see who has the last laugh.
"Madam, please rest well. I'll go make the arrangements right away." Fearing that things might get complicated if he delayed, Li Ting planned to send Hou Minghui away immediately.
"Husband, take my token and give it to Leng Han. Tell him to transfer a few people from the Qianji Gate to Xiong'an. Make sure they guard the Xiong'an border post!"
"Alright, I'll take care of everything, so don't worry about it." Li Ting took the token and left in a hurry.
Only a mother and daughter remained in the room. Xu Ningyou checked Li Xingran's body and found that she had wet herself, and exclaimed "Huh!"
Isn't this child usually very clean? Why didn't he cry this time when he wet himself?
Xu Ningyou changed Li Xingran's clothes herself, fed her milk, and the mother and daughter had a peaceful afternoon nap.
After taking Xu Ningyou's token, Li Ting called Feng Zhu and Leng Han over and instructed them on what to do later.

"Commander Hou, I need to arrange for you to leave immediately. How long did it take you to get from the Xiong'an border to the capital?" Li Ting's heavy voice made Hou Minghui realize that he had left the border without permission, and if the emperor found out, he would be charged with treason and his entire clan would be executed.
"I've been gone for almost a month," Hou Minghui said, his voice tinged with despair.
“Then there’s still time. It will take the captain forty days to finish patrolling the border villages. You need to get back to Xiong’an before the patrol ends.” Li Ting’s words immediately gave Hou Minghui hope.
But then I thought, there are still ten days left, unless I grow wings!
