"Alright!"
Gu Jiao came out of the small courtyard with a big bundle, she carefully explained to him what was in it for Xue Ningxiang, what was for Dean Li, and what was for Luo Lizheng.
In the end, she also gave Zhou Erzhuang a bundle of sustenance money.
Zhou Erzhuang hastily refused: "You've given me enough already. I can't take your money anymore! Besides, I'm on a mission this time, and Vice-General Hu gave me some silver!"
And quite a bit it was.
That was thanks to Gu Changqing, though Vice-General Hu didn't let him know.
He insisted on not accepting it, and Gu Jiao didn't force him: "Okay, take care on the road."
"Ah! I'm off then!"
Zhou Erzhuang suddenly felt very fortunate that he had never bullied Jiaojiao when they were kids, as he was able to meet her face to face without any guilt. It was just... rather unexpected.
Zhou Erzhuang, even after having gone far, couldn't help but look back a couple of times.
