Chapter 875

An Hang said solemnly, "It doesn't matter. With me here, they'll be fine. I guarantee it!"

"That's good then!"

Liu Yan chimed in, "Honestly, I really want to go fight it out with these bastards!"

"Then go get yourself killed?" An Hang retorted. "Die a glorious death? A death worth dying? Liu Yan, you must obey orders!"

An Hang turned and asked Su Yang, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Too lazy!"

"We saved some for you, it's still warm!"

"Mm!"

Squatting in the corner, Su Yang ate his meal.

The dishes were spicy, very much in the southwestern style.

The next morning, Zhu Bin changed into a brand-new military uniform and left the storeroom.

An Hang, Su Yang, and the others watched him leave.

An Hang asked, "When will they arrive?"

Su Yang replied, "Probably tomorrow... but we can't rule out late tonight!"

If it's a sneak attack, of course they'd choose the latter half of the early morning.

Su Yang estimated their arrival time at Nangang based on their marching speed yesterday.

Can't rule out them suddenly speeding up or slowing down!

"Mm! Then we leave in the first half of the night tonight!" An Hang decided. "Lord Sucheng, I'll leave requesting reinforcements from General Headquarters to you!"

"Understood, I'll deliver General Qian Hailong's letter!"

Liu Yan suddenly cut in, "Lord Sucheng, do you think it's possible that after probing Nangang, they'd suddenly pull back and run?"

"Can't rule that out..."

This possibility had been considered not only by Su Yang, but also by Qian Hailong.

Just that the probability is relatively low!

"Then wouldn't the people of Nangang, and Zhu Bin, have died for nothing?"

An Hang spoke up, "Liu Yan, you still need to obey orders! This is a command from military headquarters!"

In the Nangang city office, Zhu Bin looked at the adjutant pouring him water and suddenly said, "Xu Zhou, a few days ago, regardless of your father being ill, didn't you want to ask for leave to go home and see him?"

"Lord City Governor, that was over a month ago," Xu Zhou said quietly. "I recently received a letter saying my father has recovered."

"Over a month ago, you couldn't make it then. Now that things are settled, you can go home and see him!"

"I shouldn't really..."

"Seems like you haven't had leave in over a year, right?" Zhu Bin said softly. "Take your wife and kids, go home together and have a look!"

Seeing Zhu Bin hand over the leave slip, Xu Zhou gave an embarrassed smile, but still wrote his name on it.

"A whole month, isn't that too long?"

Only now did Xu Zhou notice that the leave period was one month—Zhu Bin had filled it in casually.

"Long, my foot. Just rest well!"

"Lord City Governor, you're not thinking of replacing me, are you? I've been with you almost ten years!"

"Replace my ass. Get the hell out of here. There's a vehicle leaving today!"

"Then thank you, Lord City Governor!"

Xu Zhou, beaming with joy, took the leave slip and hurried off to find someone to hand over his duties.
