Chapter 52

  "General Liu's character is something our master has always admired, although they've never met in person. This time, General Liu was wrongly accused and ended up in such a state, when we heard about it, our master was extremely angry." said Cheng Dalai.

  Liu Zhi nodded: "Although he is a mountain bandit, he also knows that my father was wronged. It seems that justice lies in people's hearts."

  "Hmph, just a mountain bandit, what can he do?" Mengzi Yun coldly snorted.

  Cheng Dalai was furious, what's wrong with the mountain bandits, and is occupational discrimination really that obvious.

  "The great master said that General Liu's descendants cannot suffer this injustice, so he specially sent me to investigate the situation in the city. If there is an opportunity, we must rescue the lives of the Liu family." Cheng Dalai stood up suddenly, speaking with passion and fervor.

  "What are you going to do?" Liu Zhi couldn't help but ask aloud, infected by Cheng Dairen's emotions.

  "I've already investigated the situation, so I'll head back to the hideout to get the money, rescue the others and then come back to save Miss Liu."

  Liu Zhi was stunned, and suddenly tears rolled down: "Cheng Da's great kindness, Liu Zhi will never forget. If you can save my family's lives, Liu Zhi... Liu Zhi..."

  Cheng Dairen's voice was low and calm, his eyes fixed on Liu Zhi, this is the rhythm of dedicating one's life.

  "...Willow and Elms come to life as oxen and horses, binding grass and carrying rings to repay."

  Cheng Dali

  "Miss, this man has a deceitful appearance, don't trust his words at face value." said Mencius.

  Cheng Dali collapsed, and with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, you wouldn't deceive people, right? In his heart, Cheng Dali secretly made a note again, silently reciting eight words: Not that I won't retaliate, the time hasn't come yet.

  "My companion is just downstairs, I can call him up. With a hostage in hand, you naturally don't need to suspect."

  Liu Zhi and Mengzi exchanged a glance, almost simultaneously nodding in agreement.

  Downstairs, Xu Shenji was as anxious as a cat on hot bricks. Logically speaking, since Cheng Dali was not around, shouldn't he be having the time of his life, indulging in the beauty beside him?

  It's not that simple, because Xu Mao and others stared at him to death, making Cheng Dairen feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, afraid of being killed by everyone's gaze with every move.

  As for Xu Shenji's attention, it naturally came from Cheng Dali. Some people occasionally looked up at the building, estimating the time in their minds.

  In the past, others went into Liu Zhi's room and came out without even having a cup of tea. If they could stay in the room for a while longer, they would be delighted and boast about it for several days.

  By comparison, Cheng Dairen has been gone for too long as well.

  Could it be that he entered for the first time and had to enter the bridal chamber, with a spring breeze once.

  Thinking so in his heart, his thoughts inevitably drifted towards evil intentions.

  At this time, Cheng Dairen appeared at the door of the room and shouted down.

  "Hurray, come on up."

  Xu Shenji hurriedly ran upstairs, muttering to himself: "You're having a good time, but I'm suffering. No matter, it's rare for you to eat meat, and at least I get to drink some soup."

  "Of course, I've always been a man of my word, living life to the fullest and not forgetting about you. I've had enough fun, now it's your turn to come in and have some fun too."

  Cheng Dali wrapped his arm around Xu Shenji's shoulder and walked into the room. The group of people downstairs thought about what was going to happen in the room, their mouths watering so much that they almost drooled on the floor.

  Xu Shenji was most excited, muttering to himself: I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect you to be so righteous.

  He was so excited that his heart was burning, but as soon as he walked into the room, a shiny steel knife greeted him, and Xu Shenji's passionate heart completely cooled down.

  Cheng Dalai patted his shoulder and said, "This is Meng Ziyun, a subordinate of General Liu. Since you don't trust us, Brother Meng, take him back to the mountain stronghold, get the ransom money, and exchange it for the person."

  "How about you?"

  "I still have something to attend to in the city, once things are settled, you know how to get in touch with me."

  Xu Shenji nodded in agreement, while Liu Zhi and Meng Zi Yun still had flickering eyes, obviously they didn't quite believe Cheng Dairen. However, at this point, even if they didn't believe Cheng Dairen, what other choice did they have? Cheng Dairen was their only option.

  Cheng Dali smiled and clasped his fists together: "Miss Liu, I'm begging of you, once we leave this place, I'll be your ox and horse, and tie the knot with you."

  Liu Zhi had not yet reacted, when Cheng Dairen jumped out of the window and left from the backyard. The next day, just before dawn, Xug Shenji and Meng Ziyun also jumped out of the window and left for Yàn Lóu.

  Cheng Dali slipped out of the Huiyan Building and immediately went to the Su family's home.

  The wall of Su's house was not high, only about two meters. Cheng Dairen climbed up the wall with both hands and slid down along the base of the wall.

  Hiding behind the fake mountain to observe the surroundings, the night was bleak and desolate, but there were no patrolling house guards. This made Cheng Dairen let out a sigh of relief, as families like the Su's usually had house guards, if they were discovered, with his current abilities, he would probably die very quickly.

  A tense and nervous mood, unexpectedly gave Cheng Daren a thrilling feeling. Like Zhang Sheng in The Western Wing, who secretly jumped over the wall to meet with Miss Cui.

  Where is Ke Su Ying's Embroidered Building?

  Right after that, Cheng Darui found himself encountering a problem and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

  The Su family is really too big.

  Unlike the tens or hundreds of square meters of houses in previous lives, it is not a courtyard with one or two entrances as imagined by Cheng Dairen, but a courtyard wrapped around another courtyard, and there are still courtyards outside the courtyard.

  Damn it, I know your place is vast and sparsely populated, but don't make me suffer like this. With so many courtyards, how am I supposed to know where Su Qing's boudoir is?

  "Pshaw, look at her, still acting like a princess!"

  "The old master is seriously ill, now at home it's all up to the lady of the house, who still takes her seriously..."

  "Hmph, if she dares to put on airs in front of me again, I'll let her know who's boss!"

  Two servants dressed in livery passed along the little road, talking and gesticulating as they went, their faces flushed with excitement.

  Cheng Dali hid behind the fake mountain, quietly listening. After the two people walked far away, he glanced in the direction they came from and quietly headed that way.

  Su Ying lived in some courtyard in that direction.

  She has been having a terrible time lately. Her original embroidered building was occupied by her half-sister, and she moved into this dilapidated courtyard. The attitude of the maidservants around her is getting worse and worse. Only Xiaodie is still good to her, but Xiaodie was also taken away today, saying that the second miss cannot be without someone to take care of her.

  These difficulties in life are not insurmountable, even harder things are yet to come.

  She is about to marry an old man who is nearly fifty years old.

  She sat alone in the courtyard, sighing at the moon, surrounded by a dense darkness like water, really... can't escape.

  Bang!

  At this moment, a person fell from the sky and thudded to the ground. Su Qing was startled and saw that the person on the ground stood up with a dusty face, patted the dirt off his body, and pretended to be nonchalant.

  "In the long and sleepless night, I thought I was the only one who couldn't fall asleep, but it turns out that Su Niang also can't sleep."
