Chapter 1243: Rumors Heard_1

Tu Lie, wracked with pain, held his forehead and said, "I started from the ranks, and I've always felt I should be strict with the children, whether sons or daughters, I've always instilled in them the need to earn military merits. Even when Tu Ying, a girl, said she wanted to become a female general, I encouraged her."

Bai Ruozhu felt somewhat distressed and spoke softly, "Tu Ying is a woman who refuses to be outdone by men. Even if you didn't encourage her, her competitive nature would've driven her."

Tu Lie shook his head, "Actually, both kids are sensible, it's just that I put too much pressure on them. Tu Bai isn't particularly talented in martial arts, and he doesn't even have much interest in charging into battle. But to live up to my expectations, even under my coercion, he went to the battlefield, and now there's no news from him."
