"If General Gu hadn't arrived in time, Changping would have been a one-way trip!"
"Get up first. Qiaohe, pour Changping a cup of tea. Have a sip of tea to soothe your throat before you speak slowly..."
Changping thanked Qiaohe and, after drinking some tea, recounted in detail what had happened in Shunde…
He rushed to Shunde that day, but instead of going to Zhou Family Bookstore, he spent some money to find out about the current business situation of Zhou Family Bookstore from a beggar.

Seeing that Changping looked haggard from the journey, Jiang Segu told him to go and rest, and then asked Mama Hou to deliver the shop deed to Xiaoyao Tower for Qiniangzi.
