Chapter 884 - 0884: The New Official Takes Office 2
Having said all there was to be said, Lu Jiang, Zheng Xuefeng, Zhao Yong, Shang Kun, and the others consulted and had no choice but to agree to let Guo Cui leave the military district, with the sole condition that she must keep in touch.
Feng Qingxue and Guo Xiuying, among others, helped pack her luggage and prepare dry provisions.
Feeling that she might not be able to return once she left or perhaps never get the chance, Guo Cui distributed the belongings she couldn’t take with her and that belonged to her own family to Feng Qingxue and Guo Xiuying.
Since the train did not leave every day, Guo Cui’s departure was set for three days later.
To their surprise, He Xiangqian arrived at the troop ahead of schedule. Lu Jiang, Wen Hao, and others’ plans to drive out to welcome him instantly fell through. Worried that he might hold a grudge, a whole group of people hurriedly went to greet him at the entrance.
He Xiangqian was an elderly man with regular features and a kind expression, close in age to Ye Zhengjun.
Merely by his appearance and his plain dress, he didn’t look like the selfish person Guo Cui had described.
The first thing He Xiangqian did upon arriving at the troop was to inspect the soldiers’ daily training and learning. Standing on the periphery and listening to the instructor emphatically reciting the essence of the old leader’s quotes, he nodded subtly to himself.
Regarding He Xiangqian’s work and lodging arrangements, Lu Jiang and others had everything prepared in advance, and there were no complaints on the first day.
Early the next morning, while he wandered around, he somehow caught sight of Guo Cui and immediately called over Lu Jiang and others.
