Soon, Li Yunlong happily completed the handover with Ding Wei, "Old Ding! I will leave this new group to you, you have to take good care of it!"
Ding Wei said, "Lao Li, you still don't trust me?! As long as I, Lao Ding, are here, this new group can't collapse!"
Finally, under the spontaneous farewell of the soldiers of the new regiment, Li Yunlong led Huzi and the horse, accompanied by Ding Wei, and slowly walked out of Xingjia Village.
"Okay, Old Ding, I'll send you off a thousand miles away, but we have to say goodbye eventually, so let's send you here!"
At the end of the path outside the village, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei said their final farewells.
Ding Wei sighed regretfully, "Old Li, we haven't seen each other for several years. We just met and we have to say goodbye again. We don't have time to catch up on the past!"
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "I'm still sentimental. We will meet again in the future. Then you, Old Ding, will have to treat me well!"
"Okay, we'll see you later!"
"See you later!"
Li Yunlong and Huzi got on their horses, saluted each other with Ding Wei, then jumped on their horses and whipped their whips, and embarked on a new journey.
While Li Yunlong was reporting to the division headquarters, Xu Gaoxiang, who was still worried about Li Yunlong's arrangements, unexpectedly got in touch with Chu Yunfei.
What happened was this. Just when Xu Gaoxiang returned to his residence after delivering weapons and pork to Li Yunlong, Lin Jiadu, the third owner of Hexingju, came to the door.
When they met, Lin Jiadu warmly greeted and asked, "Brother Xu Xian, how are you living here? If you have any needs, please tell me, Lao Lin. Our north is not as cold as yours in Nanyang. It's cold at this time!"
Xu Gaoxiang said in a scene, "The arrangements made by Sandong's family are thoughtful and you feel like you are at home!"
"Huh? This is..." Xu Gaoxiang looked at Lin Jiadu's side in cooperation. The entourage was holding a fur coat in his hand.
Lin Jiadu went along with the flow and explained with a smile, "Hey, this is a little bit of our thoughts, try it on and see if it fits you?"
Xu Gaoxiang took the fur coat, and its soft and smooth feel instantly made people aware of the value of this fur coat.
Although Xu Gaoxiang has never been exposed to this kind of luxury goods before, he has a platform!
Xu Gaoxiang was really happy, "Dong Lin's house is bright and spacious, what a high-end sable!"
Lin Jiadu praised Xu Gaoxiang, "Brother Xu Xian is indeed well-informed. This is high-quality sable fur from the three eastern provinces. It has no mottled color at all!"
This thing is not cheap. There is no need for the other party to come up and get closer like this. Doing business takes a long time.
Unless the other party wanted something at this time, Xu Gaoxiang said tentatively, "No reward for no merit, this is too precious! If something happens to Dong Lin's family? Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse!" "
Lin Jiadu saw Xu Gaoxiang express his attitude, and then he spoke out the reason for his visit, "The thing is like this. Brother Xian's sugar attracted the attention of the local Jinsui Army commander, so he came to Hexingju and wanted to Meet me, my dear brother!"
"I'm not afraid of jokes. Several of our main cargo delivery routes in Hexingju all pass through other people's defense zones."
"So, we hope that Brother Xu Xian can put in a good word for us and make a personal connection after meeting with the commander of the Jinsui Army!
Hearing Lin Jiadu's words, Xu Gaoxiang retreated in his heart. He was not at ease with some people, and they might be blackmailed!
Lin Jiadu looked at Xu Gaoxiang and frowned a little after hearing this, and then said with relief, "If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. We will never embarrass you, our business will continue as usual!"
Xu Gaoxiang didn't want to reject Lin Jiadu outright, otherwise he would just be a friend. If he didn't want to do this, it would be difficult to talk to him when they meet in the future.
"By the way, I would like to ask, which commander of the Jinsui Army wants to see my brother?"
Lin Jiadu apologized repeatedly, "Look, it's all my fault, Old Lin. I forgot to introduce you to my good brother!"
"It's Colonel Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army!"
"Chu Yunfei?!" Xu Gaoxiang was stunned. He really didn't expect that he was on Chu Yunfei's territory, but since it was Chu Yunfei, it would be no problem!
After thinking for a moment, Xu Gaoxiang guessed that it was probably Chu Yunfei who had taken a fancy to his sugar. This was a rich man who was not only popular with Yan Laoxi, but also a well-known figure with Lao Jiang!
The 358th Regiment is the only one in the Jinsui Army. One regiment can keep up with the Eighth Route Brigade, and it has an artillery battalion!
What's even more rare is that Chu Yunfei is a fastidious person with a strong military aura, so I believe he won't embarrass himself!
Thinking of this, Xu Gaoxiang felt relieved and readily agreed to Lin Jiadu's request, "Okay, brother, I will make a trip to meet the commander of the Jinsui Army. Don't worry, Mr. Lin will not let you down!"
Lin Jiadu laughed enthusiastically, "Hahaha, Xu Xiandi is really grand. Let's go to Qingfu Building. I heard that a new chef has arrived. He once worked in the imperial dining room and he is good at cooking Shandong cuisine. Let's go Try it!"
Two days later, at the agreed time, Xu Gaoxiang took Jushi and Arnold to the headquarters of the 358th Regiment.
In front of the Gaomen Courtyard, after Xu Gaoxiang communicated with the guards outside the door, a second lieutenant came out not long after.
"Hello, this is Mr. Xu! I am Sun Ming, the security platoon commander of Commander Chu. Commander Chu has been waiting for a long time!"
Xu Gaoxiang expressed his apology modestly, "It's my fault for keeping Chu Tuan waiting for so long!"
"Please wait in the side hall, Mr. Xu, please come with me!" According to the arrangement of Second Lieutenant Sun Ming, Jushi and Arnold followed the guard to the side hall with Xu Gaoxiang's nod.
Xu Gaoxiang followed Lieutenant Sun Ming, walked through the courtyard, came to the back hall, knocked on the antique door, and finally saw the true face of Chu Yunfei in Lushan.
Wearing a neat and straight military uniform, he has a tall and straight posture, looks very capable, and takes the initiative to say hello with full of energy.
"Hello, I, Chu Yunfei, am the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army. I must be Mr. Xu Gaoxiang! You are indeed a talented person!"
Xu Gaoxiang also practiced his speech, smiled and shook his head, "Captain Chu is so complimentary. Compared to me, you are more handsome!"
"Come, Mr. Xu, please sit down!" Chu Yunfei waited with his hands open, and Xu Gaoxiang sat down calmly, with the two sitting on both sides.
Lieutenant Sun Ming duly served two cups of tea, then exited the room and closed the door.
"Please have tea." After picking up the tea cup, Xu Gaoxiang and Chu Yunfei went back and forth to talk about the situation. They talked about a lot of things from all over the world. After refilling the tea twice, they finally mentioned the main point this time.
"Mr. Xu is indeed well-informed. Mr. Chu is no longer interested in selling sugar. I heard that Mr. Xu mainly sells sugar? Is there a channel to transport it here? I wonder if there is still a share?"
"To be honest, Chu's 358th Regiment has a large number of people, and relying solely on the distribution from the Chief's Department is a drop in the bucket, so I intend to purchase some separately from Mr. Xu!"
Xu Gaoxiang understood and really wanted to buy his own sugar. "I have always admired soldiers like Commander Chu the most. Since it is Commander Chu who has a request, I will definitely help you!"
"How about a ton of sugar?!"
