The Cold Door Hero

Summary

In the afternoon, Li Yan Qing returns to the government office in an ox cart, feeling the burden of making regular appearances to avoid impeachment. He receives a report from Zhang Hu that Yan Qing has left the capital, likely to pay respects to his adoptive father in Daming Prefecture. Li Yan Qing later encounters Pan Cheng Yu, who delivers an invitation to a banquet hosted by the Pan family, which he agrees to attend. The military supervisory office is quiet due to the approaching New Year, and Li Yan Qing discusses the situation with Song Jiang with Mo Jun, who suggests seeking help from Liang Shi Cheng. Despite his reluctance, Li Yan Qing considers a tactful approach to ask for assistance. After finishing at the office, he visits his father, Li Da Qi, to request a box of gold for unspecified needs. Li Da Qi gives him a jade pendant to collect government-issued notes. Li Yan Qing then meets with Li Dong Dong, who confirms that weapons can be bought on the black market. Li Yan Qing plans to have Zhang Hu make the connection for purchasing weapons.
