Chapter 1672: Journey South 4
The two guards prepared plenty of food for her, afraid she might get hungry on the road. Feng Qingxue, pretending to take something from her bag, pulled out a few boiled eggs she’d tucked away in a hidden compartment. She first invited the two leaders, who said they had already eaten, and then invited the accompanying doctors. Most of them had already eaten; only Ming Lan hadn’t, so she joined Feng Qingxue for milk, eggs, and biscuits to ease their hunger.
The journey was long, yet no one felt constrained by the high-ranking status of the two senior leaders.
Some continued their previous discussions, while others directly conversed with the senior leaders, inquiring about the naval forces’ situation.
This was also a characteristic of the times, as senior leaders often met with workers, peasants, soldiers, and students, and since most leaders came from humble backgrounds, they interacted with others without an overbearing attitude.

Ding Guofeng nodded, "Yes, if the enemy doesn’t retreat, a fight is inevitable."
