The next day, as soon as he was on duty, Chen Ping'an wrote a letter and had it sent to the Weishui Garrison.
As the Deputy Commander of White Stone City, he had to file a report according to procedure if he wanted to be away for a period of time.
White Stone City was not far from the Treasure Land; the journey would only take a day or two. But the mountain roads were rugged, and it was impossible to know what he might encounter. Therefore, the leave Chen Ping'an requested for this trip was half a month.
Given his recent meritorious service in destroying two major gangs, which had brought considerable benefits to the Weishui Garrison, his request for leave was unlikely to face any major issues.
Sure enough, after waiting a few days, Chen Ping'an received the approved response from the Weishui Garrison.
