The Cold Door Hero

Summary

Li Yan Qing arrives at the Left Zheng Building of the West Secretary’s Office, which serves as a temporary residence for the military supervision office but is currently empty and lacking resources. He finds his official quarters spacious yet bare, with no documents or writing supplies. His tea boy, Ying Ge Er, arrives to assist him, and Li Yan Qing generously offers him a silver ingot and a future allowance. Qin Gui, another official, informs Li Yan Qing that funds for official expenses are not yet available, and the dispatch of troops is uncertain. Li Yan Qing reflects on the military supervision office's inefficiency and its reputation as a place of exile. Later, Li Yan Qing learns from Yang Guang that something has happened to Miss He, prompting him to rush back to his residence. There, he discovers a note from Qing Er expressing intentions of seeking revenge for her father. Despite the search efforts, her whereabouts remain unknown. Li Yan Qing suspects she may have gone after Song Jiang, who has secretly established a residence in the capital with wealth accumulated from past victories. The chapter concludes with a young lady accompanying an old man entering a bustling inn, hinting at further developments related to Qing Er’s quest for vengeance.
