Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 114: Aftermath of the South River

Seeing that Qin Cheng recognized him, Liu Feiyun stopped hiding and asked directly, "Uncle Qin, where is that old guy Kulibutai?"

Qin Cheng said unwillingly, "Oh, don't mention it! This old guy is really slippery. In the end, he tricked me into running away! But fortunately, I shot him with an arrow. He should have to stay in the Northern Wasteland to recuperate for at least half a year!"

Afterwards, Qin Cheng said to Zheng Tingting: "Thank you very much, Miss Zheng. Without your help, it would be difficult for my young master to return home so smoothly!"

Liu Feiyun's heart tightened: Would that guy Shihu tell others about my impersonation of Zheng Tingting? Damn it, why did I forget to tell him. This embarrassing thing must not be spread out! Shihu should not be that stupid! Also, even if Shihu didn't tell others about this, what about this little witch! Will she... please don't tell others!

While thinking anxiously, he looked at Zheng Tingting eagerly.

Although Zheng Tingting was almost too sleepy, when she heard Qin Cheng's words and saw Liu Feiyun's hesitant and pleading eyes, her heart was rippled and her face turned slightly red.

But she quickly reacted and said unnaturally: "It's nothing! I just happened to come across it and did it casually."

Qin Cheng laughed and said, "It was just a coincidence! Haha! You did it just for the sake of convenience, but you fooled Lu Chengfeng. You made the young master and the others pretend to be dead bodies who died of poison, and even covered them with deadly poison. What a good idea and method! You are worthy of being the granddaughter of Zheng Zhangzuo!"

When Liu Feiyun heard this, he finally felt half relieved.

After hearing this, Zheng Tingting just followed through and covered up the fact that Liu Feiyun was impersonating herself.

After Qin Cheng thanked Zheng Tingting, he asked Liu Feiyun if he wanted to go back to the Earl's Mansion in the territory right now. Liu Feiyun shook his head and said, "Although my external and internal injuries are no longer serious, I still need to recuperate for a few days. In addition, I showed up right after Senior Sister Zheng arrived in Anping County, which might cause trouble for her. So I want to wait a few days after she leaves Anping County before showing up."

He then said to Zheng Tingting: "Senior sister, I won't invite you to my house for the next few days. After a while, I will definitely make it up to you. Do you think this is a good idea?"

Zheng Tingting said indifferently: "Whatever, I have to go to Jinzhou anyway, and I will pass by here again in a few months! Then I will come to see you again!"

Seeing this, Qin Cheng nodded and said, "That's good! Although the external enemies have been repelled, many internal traitors have not yet been cleared out. It won't be too late for you to go back after you have cleared them out in a few days."

Qin Cheng came and left in a hurry. He only stayed at Nanhe Post Station for half an hour before setting off again without stopping.

Before leaving, Qin Cheng admired a secret guard in the post station who was ostensibly a waiter, praising him for his loyalty, bravery, wit and intelligence. However, the secret guard seemed to have injured his brain in the battle at night and had completely forgotten his contribution that night.

In addition, Qin Cheng also arranged for more than a dozen wounded soldiers to temporarily stay in the post station, waiting for Zheng Tingting to treat them after they had enough rest, and Liu Feiyun and Liu Shihu were among them.

Zheng Tingting had been hiding her tracks for the past few days and had not had a good rest. She was also disturbed by the attack of the Northern Wilderness warriors until the second half of the night and was extremely sleepy. Now she could finally have a good sleep and slept until the early morning of the next day (1 to 3 pm).

After Zheng Tingting had her meal and treated all the wounded, it was already 3 to 4 pm. It seemed that the attack last night had made Zheng Tingting feel uneasy. After treating the last wounded, she got on the carriage that had been prepared long ago and hurried to Anping County.

Another day passed.

Outside the main gate of Earl Le'an's Mansion, Zheng Tingting was saying goodbye to Madam Chu, Chu Bihe.

"Aunt! Since my junior brother hasn't come back yet, I'll take my leave first!" At this time, Zheng Tingting no longer had the image of a little witch who showed her fangs and claws in front of Liu Feiyun, but was completely the image of a lady.

"Oh! You are such a formal child. Why don't you stay here for a few days? Yun'er might be back in a few days! Besides, our Zheng and Liu families are so close friends. Being here is like being at home! How can you not stay here for a few days when you are already at home?" Chu Bihe said with a smile on her face but also with some displeasure.

"Aunt, even if Junior Brother is at home, I will only see him once and then leave. I have important matters to attend to in Jinzhou and cannot wait any longer. Please don't see me off, I'm leaving now."

"Well, in that case, I won't force you to stay any longer. Take care on your journey. When you come back from Jinzhou, you must come to my house and spend a few days before you leave!"

"Okay! Then Tingting will come back to bother Auntie after she returns from Jinzhou! Goodbye!"

After watching Zheng Tingting go away, Chu Bihe returned home. When she arrived at Liu Shihao's room, she saw her husband staring at a map in a trance.

"This time, our Liu family owes the Zheng family a huge favor again!" Chu Bihe sighed.

"Just owe it! Anyway, I already owe a lot of favors to the miser Zheng, so I don't mind adding this favor from his granddaughter! Now that your son is back, you should be relieved. Next, we should clean the house thoroughly to avoid any more trouble!" Liu Shihao stopped studying the map and comforted his wife.

Chu Bihe's face changed again, and she gritted her teeth and said, "How could so many people from the Northern Wilderness sneak into Nanhe Posthouse without being noticed? How could they not have the help of the traitors? And the information about my son's whereabouts has been leaked to the enemies many times. How many of these traitors are there, and how deeply they are hiding! This time, we must eradicate them all!"

In the following days, the entire Anping County, especially the Earl's territory, was in turmoil again. It was said that the attack on Nanhe Station by dozens of Northern Wilderness warriors made Le'an Earl Liu Shihao furious, and he began to hunt down the spies planted by the Northern Wilderness. Many people were arrested or even killed on the spot, including the top leaders of the Earl's Mansion and the Green Willow Chamber of Commerce.

Within a few days, more than 300 people were killed and more than a thousand people were implicated and imprisoned, which shocked the entire Yunzhou and even alarmed many court officials in the imperial capital.

"Butcher Liu is back again!"

"Is Butcher Liu crazy? First he sent his private army out of his territory without permission, and then he massacred the people. Does he still have the law of the court in his eyes? Is he planning to rebel?"

"Butcher Liu is truly guilty of a crime that deserves death, and he must be severely punished!"

"I will write to His Majesty to punish Butcher Liu and plead for the lives of the innocent people!"

In the imperial capital Changluo, many high-ranking dignitaries and important officials actually became interested in a small county lieutenant and brought the matter to the court, in front of the emperor.
