Donation

The soldier politely said, "Comrade, this is a restricted area. Please leave."

Yao Ran looked at the soldier and noticed he wasn't the same one who had guarded the gate before. She smiled and explained, "Comrade, we are here to see Commander Xu."

The soldier asked, "Miss, do you have an appointment with Commander Xu?"

Yao Ran hadn't made any appointments. She thought for a moment and replied, "I came to donate supplies. Please let Commander Xu know that Yao Ran would like to meet him."

Upon hearing this, the soldier glanced at his comrade, who nodded and left. Shortly after, the soldier returned from the guard post and said, "Commander Xu said to let them in."

The first soldier nodded, then turned to Yao Ran and Long Yu and said, "Comrades, please follow me."

Yao Ran and Long Yu followed the soldier, who led them to a different tent. This tent was several times larger than Xu Qipeng's tent, where he lived, and was guarded by two soldiers.
