Long Yu looked at the soldier and replied, "We'd like to see Captain Wu Lian."
The soldiers exchanged glances before one of them said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to see him today."
Before Long Yu could ask why, the other soldier explained, "Captain Wu was dispatched to Haicheng City earlier today, and his return date is unknown."
Long Yu and Yao Ran looked at each other upon hearing this. It seemed that with Long Yu's retirement from the military, Wu Lian had taken his place on this mission. They knew that since Wu Lian had been sent out, he wouldn't be back anytime soon.
As the two fell silent, one of the soldiers asked, "Do you need something from Captain Wu?"
Hearing this, Yao Ran thought for a moment and asked, "Could we see Commander Xu?"
Both soldiers were surprised at her request. Not everyone could meet with Xu Qipeng, and few people even knew about him.
