Chapter 881 New Official Takes Office 1

Although Guo Cui insisted on leaving, Lu Jiang and others obeyed Ye Zhengjun's orders and were reluctant to let her go.

Lu Jiang pondered and said, "Sister-in-law, don't rush to leave. We don't know anything about the situation in the capital. We are completely in the dark. It's better to wait. According to the news brought by the deputy commander, Comrade Ye should not be in danger for the time being. If you go to the capital like this, won't it give those people an opportunity to attack Comrade Ye? The nephews and nieces are not in the capital. They are worried that they will not have the opportunity to find Comrade Ye's weakness. If you go, you will be a living target."

"Wait? How? Wait until when? Wait until Old Ye gets into trouble before I go? Then it will be too late!" Guo Cui couldn't hold back her impatience and worry. "Old Ye has a bad temper. You have followed him for so many years, don't you understand him? I am afraid that he will contradict the staff responsible for dealing with him for his old boss."

Although they are far away from the capital, which is a bit like the emperor being far away, newspapers and documents are sent to them in an endless stream, which gives us a glimpse of their situation.

According to Guo Cui, that group of young people were like crazy, they would fight wherever their superiors told them to.

"Sister-in-law, Comrade Ye told us to let you stay in the army. He must have his reasons. If Comrade Ye knew that you went to the capital, he would definitely be worried about you..."

Guo Cui immediately interrupted Lu Jiang, "Lu Jiang, Lao Ye and I are revolutionary partners. We cannot just sit back and do nothing! I think if something like this happened to you, Qingxue would run around for you like I did, first saving your life and then finding ways to rescue you. Put yourself in their shoes, how can you bear to let me stay here and wait for news? Maybe it's even worse news."

Lu Jiang was stunned for a moment and looked at Feng Qingxue.

Feng Qingxue said a few words in a hurry, "Sister-in-law, please don't say such unlucky words. Commander Ye will be safe, and our A Jiang will not be in any danger either, definitely not." She was most afraid that Lu Jiang would get into trouble with Ye Zhengjun.

"Yes, yes, I shouldn't compare it like that." Guo Cui smiled and said seriously, "But I have to go."

"How about this, sister-in-law." Lu Jiang suddenly said, "In a few days, our army will welcome a new commander, who will replace Comrade Ye in charge of all army affairs. At that time, he will be our highest military commander. You can wait until he arrives before leaving."

Guo Cui was stunned. "New commander? Who?"

"He Xiangqian." They were not the old marshals and generals who were awarded titles in 1955. Of course, to be able to take on the position of army commander, they must be quite old and have considerable experience, as they had come from the Anti-Japanese War.

When Guo Cui heard the name, she waved her hand and said, "You mean him? Then I have to leave."

"What? Sister-in-law knows him?" Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue asked in unison.

"Yes, of course I know him. We are very familiar with each other." Guo Cui's face was not happy. She whispered, "This man and Old Ye served in the army before and after. They fought together for several years during the Anti-Japanese War. He is very selfish. That's why he didn't get a high position. Not only that, but he likes to form cliques and is like a fence-sitter. Isn't he just following the east wind? You know, Old Ye got to where he is today step by step with his achievements after the founding of the People's Republic of China. He is very unhappy that he is suppressed by him."

At this point, Guo Cui continued, "I have to go. I don't want to stay here and have to face his face. He's not that bad. Didn't those who joined the army do so for the country and the people? It's just this selfishness. Old Ye and I can't stand it. If he's not happy with Old Ye, I guess he'll also make trouble for Lu Jiang. After I leave, you guys better be careful."
