"And where is he now?"

Gu Changqing was also surprised. Company Commander Sun said: "It's in the guest house of the military region." Said that I was going to stay in Cloud City for one night, and let me keep an eye on when you were, maybe I came to see you. You hurry up. ”

Gu Changqing didn't say anything more, hurriedly thanked him, and rushed to the guest house.

There was a guard standing outside the guest house, and when he came in, it was another guard. At last the two men standing guard at the door heard him report that they were happy at home, and said that he had finally come, otherwise the chief would not have slept tonight.

knocked on the door and came in, Lu Zheng sat on the sofa and read a book with glasses.

It's so late, he's still wearing a rigorous military uniform, obviously waiting for someone.

"Hello chief."

Entering the door, Gu Changqing gave a standard military salute, Lu Zheng took off his glasses, put down the book, and waved to him with a smile.

"You're finally back, come and sit."

"Uncle Lu."

A military salute is a private salute.

"Sit." Lu Zheng raised his hand and stood up by himself. Seeing that he was about to pour tea, Gu Changqing hurriedly said, "Uncle Lu doesn't need to bother. It's so late, let's talk about things. ”

He was worried that his late return would miss someone's big business.

Who knows, Lu Zheng looked relaxed, smiled, and still went to find the tea he brought, and used the cup of the guest house to make a cup of tea for Gu Changqing.

"It's cold, take a sip of tea, warm up and then talk. There is no hurry. ”

"Thank you."

Gu Changqing took it with both hands, and when he saw Lu Zheng sitting down, he sat down.

Lu Zheng looked at him, his face was still very easy-going: "Changqing, you are really the same as your father, and you are upright at all times." It's too serious. Tell Uncle Lu, what made you take an afternoon off to go out today and come back in the middle of the night? ”

Lu Zhengna obviously knew something, and made fun of his expression, which made Gu Changqing very embarrassed.

lowered his eyebrows, and he told the truth.

"My daughter-in-law is sick, I don't worry, go see her."

Lu Zheng laughed: "I heard the comrade next door to you say, I still don't believe it, I didn't expect it to be true." Who is that little girl? Do? When will you call Uncle Lu to meet you too? ”

Gu Changqing: "......"

After a moment of silence, he said, "Chief, it's not good to be too gossipy. ”

He had a very serious expression, as if he was talking about military affairs.

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment and laughed louder.

After laughing, he said, "Okay, okay, I won't ask you." Anyway, if you settle down, I'm relieved. ”

"Is there anything important that you are here?"

Gu Changqing was very worried about whether there was something big about him deliberately waiting for him.

Lu Zheng's face was a little serious at this time: "Well, there is something I want to talk to you about." In addition to exchanging letters and making phone calls with me, you kid didn't go to me at all, so there was no way, so I had to take this opportunity to come to Cloud City to see you. ”

These words made Gu Changqing a little moved.

"Thank you, Uncle Lu, for your concern. I'm supposed to visit you, but it's been a busy few years. ”

"You don't come."

Lu Zheng debunked him at once: "I don't know you yet? Be virtuous with your father. In the past, I was just a staff officer under him, but at that time we actually had a good relationship, and he took good care of me as a superior and saved me, and I have always remembered this affection.

But later, he was not in good health and took a back seat to cultivation. In those two years, I rose quickly, and by chance, the journey went smoothly. He's fine, and he hasn't been in touch with me ever since. Even when I heard that his health was deteriorating and that he wanted to take him to Kyori for treatment, he didn't want to, and he couldn't see me.

I know. He's avoiding us. It's not just me, it's anyone else, as long as it's someone who is in a high position right now. At that time, he avoided it. I'm afraid that I will get something to do with us and gain some benefits.

Changqing, your father, has been too upright all his life. It's so upright. ”

mentioned Gu's father in the later years, Lu Zheng was still embarrassed.

Gu Changqing lowered his eyes, held the hot tea, and smiled: "I also think my father's approach is too extreme." For the sake of integrity and integrity, he lost a lot of friendships that he should have. ”

The friendship in the army is the deepest.

When Lu Zheng heard this, he nodded appreciatively: "Yes." That's it. We are upright, he is my old chief, why should I not respect him? But he was very stubborn. No, no, don't say him, say you. That's what you said, but that's what you did. You haven't been to see me. ”

“……”

Gu Changqing was a little embarrassed: "Uncle Lu, I'm busy." ”

"You're busy, your annual work content is on my desk, why are you so busy that you don't have time to come and see me?"

was debunked again, and Gu Changqing had no choice but to stop talking.

Lu Zheng waved his hand: "Okay, I won't talk about you." I know, you kid is also avoiding suspicion. Also arrogant. Unwilling to get involved with us. I understand. So, like them, I haven't asked you much in years.

But this time, there's something I'd like to tell you about. ”

"Uncle Lu, please speak."

"You know the current situation in country Z, right?"

Gu Changqing nodded: "I know." ”

"Hmm. Now we have decided to send someone over. This time, you're in charge. Lu Zheng's finger came over.

"I'm responsible?"

Lu Zheng's affirmative tone surprised Gu Changqing. Lu Zheng smiled.

"What? Scared? ”

"It's not."

Gu Changqing immediately had a serious expression: "This matter is very important, I thought that more experienced comrades would be sent over." ”

"You're not right."

Lu Zheng leaned back on the sofa and waved his hand.

"Now is not the time to strengthen experience, but to develop new people. It's because it's important that I want you to go. ”

Gu Changqing looked at Lu Zheng, was silent for a while, and smiled:

"Uncle Lu, are you selfish in arranging this?"

"Selfishness...... Of course. ”

Lu Zheng did not deny it: "This is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions." A group of cadres is now being inspected. I want you to stand out. This is selfishness.

That's not the main thing, though. The main reason is one more reason. This time, we tried out a batch of new equipment, of which the Z3 is the most important.

You are in charge of this project. You go to the most appropriate. There is technology, there is actual combat experience. That's what we need. ”

After Lu Zheng finished explaining, Gu Changqing didn't speak.

In the silence, Lu Zheng's expression became a little more solemn.

"However, Changqing, in fact, I also have concerns when I think about this. The situation over there is chaotic and dangerous. ”

Gu Changqing was stunned and said, "Uncle Lu, I am a soldier." That's not what I'm supposed to think about. Don't worry. ”

Lu Zheng didn't speak, was silent for a while, and nodded affirmatively with a smile.

"That's good. The matter was settled. Tomorrow morning you come with me. Let's go back and make arrangements first. Left in about a week. ”

"Leaving tomorrow morning?"

Gu Changqing was stunned for a moment.

"What? Is there a problem? ”

Lu Zheng asked with a smile.

Gu Changqing's face was slightly unnatural and asked, "What time is it tomorrow morning?" ”

"Eight o'clock."

"Good. I know. I'll come to you before eight o'clock. ”

Gu Changqing responded very affirmatively. Lu Zheng smiled: "Don't worry about your daughter-in-law, do you still want to go and see?" ”

Gu Changqing was embarrassed: "Uncle Lu, you started gossiping again." ”

"Haha, you kid, you're a little presumptuous talking to me."

"Because you do gossip."

Gu Changqing replied.

"Then, since you said that I gossiped, I simply gossiped again. I stayed here all afternoon yesterday, and I asked casually, I know all about what your kid caused in the military region. ”
