Another soldier, quite a bit younger, crouched next to the veteran, tapping on the older man's arm with his elbow “Hey, you have you heard?”

The veteran looked back with perked brows, his wrinkles beco soldier s Wu has requested a spar with General Bai's disciple, and it'll be held tomorrow”

The veteran frowned, as if somewhat doubtful “General Bai's disciple?”

“Yeah” The young soldier quickly nodded “You weren't there to see it Two days ago, that girl and General Bai came, and she's called Miss Gu Anyway, she's quite pretty, but it's more than that To describe it, hmm, it's cool and valiant”

“Moron” The veteran scoffed at thesoldier squinted with some seriousness “You haven't raceful girl could don armor and wield a heavy spear on horseback”

“Hm” The veteran became more attentive at thelong! (33 you, that spear is no less than a hundred jin [TL: 60kg] Even untrained irl I…!
