Bab 1064: Sheep

"You're obviously annoyed because this seems so easy for me." Ren Xiaosu said with a dark expression, "How can the commander of the Northwest be so petty about things?"

Zhang Jinglin said matter-of-factly, "I'm not being petty.

Zhang Jinglin continued, "And if you don't experience that, how will you know how tough it is for the sentries here? I'm not asking you to carry a heavier load than you can, I just want you to experience what it's like to live as a normal person again."
