"Wait a minute," Su Bai held Kong Yun, who was about to leave in a hurry, and said, "If you want to go, you have to let Tietou go or he can send someone to go with you. I don't feel comfortable if you go alone."

"Oh, it's okay, there are no wolves on this mountain!"

"No, this is not negotiable!"

Su Bai asked Kong Yun to promise that she would walk slower after she went out of the north gate, and she asked Tietou to send someone to chase her and accompany her up the mountain.

"Okay, you're just as nagging as my mother. I have to leave quickly. If my mother finds out, I won't be able to leave!"

Before leaving, she told Su Bai that if anyone in her house asked about it, she should say that she was kidnapped by bandits again.

Su Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, as if this somewhat unethical plan of his was initiated by her.

As soon as Kong Yun left, Zi Yan came back.

When the Second Wife heard that Su Bai was not feeling well, she snorted coldly and went to the front yard to reconcile the accounts with the accountant, Mr. Sun.

Okay, given the Second Wife's obsession with money, she will immerse herself in the account books in the next two days and will be able to have two days of peace.

Su Bai asked Zi Yan to find Tietou quickly and tell him about the second young lady going up the mountain, and asked him to send someone to catch up with the second young lady, accompany her into the mountain, and ensure her safety.

Also, give Liu Yiyan a message, leaving the second young lady on the mountain and waiting for Su Bai's next notification.

"Buy some more pork liver and jujubes. You and Xu Tianyi should both take good care of yourself. Then go back and see how your parents are doing."

After Yuan Yuze recovered from his injury, had his stitches removed and left the Second Company, Su Bai asked Zi Yan to teach him how to give injections, and asked him to return to the village and give his parents streptomycin injections every day, saving Zi Yan from having to run to the foot of the North Mountain twice a day.

After a while, millet and red date porridge was brought over from the kitchen in the front yard. Su Bai carried the bowl into Zi Yan's west room and fed Xu Tianyi the porridge.

"Madam, I can do it myself!"

"Just lie still!"

After the operation yesterday, Xu Tianyi was given penicillin. It was already past two o'clock when the infusion was finished. Today I plan to feed him porridge and then give him the infusion.

"Madam, no need. Your medicine is so expensive. I saw you used ten bottles on me yesterday. It hurts my heart to see you."

Xu Tianyi said that these medicines were like treasures in the hands of Military Doctor Chen, as Qian Rufei only used two of them despite his serious injuries.

"You are my man. Can Doctor Chen compare with you?"

These words moved Xu Tianyi so much that he almost cried.

After feeding porridge, Su Bai injected fluid into Xu Tianyi and talked about what happened last night.

Xu Tianyi went out from the back door and headed straight for the west gate. At this time, Kong Chen had just come out of the west gate.

Xu Tianyi, who was familiar with the place, went to the stable near the west gate, took a horse and went out of the city to chase Kong Chen.

There was only one groom in the stable at that time. Xu Tianyi told him that Captain Zhao had asked him to come. He got on his horse and ran away without further explanation. By the time the groom reacted and started shouting behind him, Xu Tianyi had already rushed out of the west gate on his horse.

"Even the soldiers at the west gate didn't react?"

Xu Tianyi said that there were many soldiers at the west gate, all fully armed. It was possible that he didn't react, but the most important thing was that it was Bai Ying's company, and Bai Ying also saw Xu Tianyi.

It was Kong Chen's bad luck. Kong Chen and his guards, as well as the hundreds of garrison soldiers led by Battalion Commander Zhao, were watching the battle two or three miles away from the city and did not participate in the battle.

The other soldiers were all standing, only a few officers were riding horses. Xu Tianyi raised his gun and shot down three people on horseback. Then he rode north. When he was almost near the north gate, he got off his horse, picked up a stone and hit the horse's butt hard. The horse continued to run north and he hid.

After the pursuers caught up, the two soldiers who were originally guarding the north gate also followed north, and Xu Tianyi took the opportunity to slip into the north gate.

Only then did he realize he had been shot in the back.

"I was so nervous when I was running that I didn't feel it. I couldn't walk a few steps after entering the city. I fell headfirst at the back door and couldn't get up."

It can be seen that Xu Tianyi was very proud when describing this assassination experience. He also said to Su Bai that he had suffered more serious injuries before, but God would not let him die.

"You're taking too many risks."

Xu Tianyi told Su Bai that he did not think of coming back alive when he left, but he did not expect that God would have eyes and that Kong Chen actually took Captain Zhao and did not participate in the battle. Instead, he left the battlefield several miles away to watch the excitement, as if he was waiting there for someone to kill him.

"How do you know for sure that Kong Chen is dead?"

Although it was dark, flames were constantly lit up on the battlefield not far away. Kong Chen had a special body shape and was the fattest, so he could be recognized at a glance.

When Xu Tianyi fired the shot, he was less than fifty meters away from Kong Chen's spectator team.

"Young Madam, are you doubting my marksmanship?"

Su Bai had no doubt about Xu Tianyi's marksmanship. Zhou Beiwang had once told him that he never missed a shot.

In fact, Su Bai knew that the so-called 100% hit rate was just a description, but he had no confidence at all in Xu Tianyi's attack on Kong Chen this time.

I have shot a gun myself, and although my shooting skills are not very good, I also know that if I aim with both hands, I will not be able to hit the target because I cannot keep absolutely still. What's more, Xu Tianyi was shooting while riding a horse.

She felt that Kong Chen was lucky enough... maybe he was not dead.

Kong Dai has brought people to install doors. Two double doors were installed between the backyard and the east backyard, and between the backyard and the third courtyard. The door bolts were locked from the inside. As long as these two doors were bolted, no one could enter the ancestral hall in the backyard and the west backyard unless they jumped over the wall.

It was just an accidental coincidence. Fortunately, the Second Wife was immersed in the account book. Otherwise, if she had seen it, there would definitely be trouble.

"Madam, was it your instruction to have the Second Madam and Mr. Sun reconcile the accounts?" After Kong Dai had given instructions to the carpenters, he came over and asked Su Bai.

When Kong Dai learned that Su Bai was going to hand over the leadership of the Kong Mansion to the second wife, he knelt down with a plop.

Kong Dai's kneeling means his attitude. Su Bai understands this very well after experiencing it several times.

"You absolutely cannot do that, Madam. The Kong family business belongs to you and cannot be given to others!"

"I have already promised her. Besides, the concubines also support her to be the housekeeper. Uncle Kong, please get up. I don't want to quarrel with them anymore."

"I won't get up unless the young madam agrees!" Kong Dai became so stubborn that he looked like ten oxen couldn't pull him up.

"What should I do? I can't break my promise, right?"

"As long as the young lady says so, I will not let the second wife take over this family even if I risk my life!"

To be honest, there are very few people as loyal as Kong Dai in modern society.

"If you don't get up I'm going back to the house!"

Kong Dai then slowly stood up, but his attitude remained stubborn.

"If the young mistress is not available, I will go find the second mistress!"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. Anyway, this account cannot be settled in one or two days." This is what Su Bai thought. If the Second Young Miss doesn't come back tonight, the Second Madam will be panicked. She will give her some hints. At least before the Second Young Miss comes back, she won't dare to be so tough with herself.

"Tell me about the battle at Xishankou yesterday. Did you hear any news?"

"Alas, it was Yang Huasen who set an ambush at Xishankou, but was ambushed and suffered heavy losses!" Kong Dai sighed.

"You feel sympathy for Yang Huasen's defeat."

Kong Dai raised his head, looked at Su Bai and said, "Yang Huasen's soldiers are the real Kong family army, they are our people!"

"What's the use? Can we defeat Kong Chen and Kong Li?" Su Bai suddenly remembered the question about Kong Dai that had been hanging in his mind. Why not take this opportunity to ask him clearly?

Su Bai did not ask Kong Dai directly, but lied to him: "Uncle Kong, do you really think I don't know what you did during the two days when Yang Huasen's mutiny took place?"

Kong Dai was suddenly shocked.
