The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

General Chen couldn't help but laugh heartily when he heard this: "Haha! Great! I feel much more relieved when you say that. It's still early now, I wonder if you have had breakfast? If not, why not come with me to the dining hall and have a quick meal."

Su Lun heard this and answered honestly: "General, I ate some dry food for breakfast before setting off." General Chen frowned slightly when he heard his answer and said earnestly: "Although it is not a war-torn period now, the daily training is also very hard and consumes a lot of physical energy. Therefore, you must pay attention to your diet and ensure adequate nutrition intake. Come on, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the location of the dining hall."

Su Lun hurriedly thanked General Chen and followed him towards the dining hall. Soon, they arrived at their destination. At this moment, most soldiers were still training, so there were not many people eating in the dining hall.

General Chen first exchanged a few words with several generals present, and then introduced Su Lun to everyone one by one. He pointed to a burly, resolute middle-aged man and said, "Captain Su, this is General Liu Su of the Cavalry, who is in charge of the Eagle Division; then he pointed to a relatively younger general and said, "This is General Li Xinghai of the Chariot Cavalry, who is in charge of the Tiger and Lion Army"; finally, he pointed to a middle-aged general who looked gentle and polite and said, "This is General Zhang Yunqi of Suiyuan, who leads the Wolf Fang Army. From now on, we are all comrades in arms."

"I, the humble General Su Lun, greet all the generals." Su Lun did not dare to be negligent, and quickly performed a standard military salute and spoke loudly.

General Zhang looked at the heroic Su Lun in front of him, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He said with interest, "Is this Captain Su? Yesterday, I heard that kid Gu Bei said that he would have a competition with the new captain today. This general happens to have nothing to do, so I will go over to join in the fun. If you are free, why not go and take a look together?"

When General Chen heard what General Zhang said, he immediately agreed, "Of course I will go and take a look, but I have to make it clear in advance that this guy was the first one I chose. You guys are not allowed to compete with me for talent when the time comes!" After saying that, he glared at the others demonstratively.

The others smiled at each other when they heard this. General Zhang raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Oh? It seems that General Chen is quite optimistic about Captain Su!"

General Chen burst into laughter. Being of a generous nature, he waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "We will see the truth on the training ground soon. How about we make a bet? I bet Captain Su can win this competition!" His voice was full of confidence, as if he had already determined that Su Lun would win.

"Haha, then I'll bet on my disciple to win." General Zhang raised his eyebrows and responded. After saying that, he looked at General Liu and General Li beside him with a questioning look in his eyes.

General Liu and General Li looked at each other, as if they were communicating something. After a moment, Liu Su said, "Old Li and I will not participate. How about we be witnesses for you two?" His voice was calm and firm, revealing an attitude of staying out of the matter.

General Chen's eyes flashed with disappointment when he heard this, but he soon regained his excitement. He enthusiastically proposed: "Okay, then it's settled. How about betting 800 taels of silver?" This number surprised everyone present, and they all showed surprised expressions.

General Zhang responded with a smile: "Deal!" His tone was relaxed and confident, as if he was full of confidence in this bet.

Su Lun listened to the conversation with a frown on his face. He had never expected that things would unfold like this. For a moment, he couldn't help but be distracted.

At this time, General Chen noticed Su Lun's reaction. He patted Su Lun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Captain Su, why are you still standing there? Go eat quickly. You will have more energy after you are full, right? I have gambled all my private money..."

When Su Lun heard this, he was enlightened. He looked at General Chen with astonishment. He never thought that this stern and majestic general could be so easy-going and kind in private. He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He bowed and responded loudly: "Thanks to the general's love and trust, I will live up to your expectations and do my best!" Before he finished speaking, he respectfully saluted all the generals present, and then followed General Chen to the restaurant for dinner.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, General Chen nodded slightly, signaling Su Lun to follow him back to the tent. Entering the tent, General Chen earnestly told Su Lun about a series of military rules and regulations and matters that needed special attention. After everything was explained, General Chen looked up and estimated the time. He felt that the time was ripe, so without saying anything, he led Su Lun straight to the training ground.

At this moment, the parade ground was crowded with many soldiers gathered together, making it very lively. Obviously, the news that the two lieutenants were about to compete had spread throughout the military camp like wildfire, sparking heated discussions among the people. Many people talked about this duel with great interest, and some even opened a bet for it. Although everyone had heard about Su Lun's heroic deeds before, they had not seen his true abilities with their own eyes. In contrast, Gu Bei's daily strong fighting ability was obvious to all, which made everyone admire him deeply. Because of this, most people placed their bets on Gu Bei, believing that he had a greater chance of winning.

Su Lun naturally heard the discussions of the people around him, but he did not say much. Instead, he secretly swore in his heart that he would spare no effort to exert his strength and strive for victory.

Not long after, Gu Bei came quickly accompanied by several companions. He came to Su Lun and bowed respectfully: "Captain Su, I've been waiting for a long time. It's an honor to have the opportunity to learn martial arts from you today. How about we choose our own weapons first?"

Su Lun was stunned after hearing this. He originally thought that this was just a simple contest of gestures, and he had never expected that weapons would be used. Although his boxing and kicking skills were quite good, he was not proficient in weapons. After a little hesitation, Su Lun took out the dagger he always carried with him.

Gu Bei was also a little surprised when he saw this scene: "Captain Su, have you really decided to choose only a dagger as a weapon?"

Su Lun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile: "That's enough."

Then, Gu Bei moved to one side, took out the silver-shining spear he usually used, and said, "In that case, please forgive me for taking advantage of you."

At this time, General Liu, who was acting as the referee, saw that both of them were ready, so he raised his voice and shouted, "The competition begins!"
