Chapter 254
Gu Canghai looked at the old fellow with amusement, cursing under his breath, "At this rate, we might as well not bother fighting, just surrender straight away. Look at them, tsk tsk..."
The old man with the star on his shoulder glanced back at Gu Canghai, gave him a disdainful look, and curled his lip, "Old Gu, you really don’t need to be griping here, do you? Seems like you were the one who let this kid through. Must be pretty pleased with yourself, huh?"
Gu Canghai glared and abruptly stood up, "You damn loudmouth, always barking at everyone!"
Watching Gu Canghai leave in a huff, the old man kept muttering, "That old coot is definitely going to sneak off to laugh about this."
Outside the green tent, many patrolling soldiers saw an old general standing at the entrance, unsure of what he was doing. All they could see was him shaking continuously, seemingly from laughing too hard.
Gu Canghai never expected that after his first impressive performance, Shen Jingwei would ask to enlist in the military. He couldn’t fathom the young man’s true intentions; he just thought that Shen was intrigued by the formidable characters in the army and wanted to have a go at it himself. Gu Canghai, never one to play by the rules, even in his older years, was more of a playful scamp than Shen Jingwei.
"Which unit do you want to join?"
"Any unit from the Northeast would do."
