Zhang Guoqing walked out of the house, managing to deal with several acquaintances along the way. He finally reached the gate, only to find that Wan Dayong and the others had already left.
"Xiao Wu, they asked you to go directly to the empty courtyard next door at the Yi Family's."
Zhang Guoqing quickly thanked the sentry at the gate. He wasn't in a hurry to leave, smiling warmly as he stayed a while, chatting and exchanging everyday life stories with a few sentries.
After being teased a couple of times by several elder officers coming in and out, Zhang Guoqing finally bid farewell to the sentries and left, heading towards the empty courtyard.
