1971 The Price Of Power (1)

Yun Lintian didn't answer the question right away. Instead, he asked, "Who is your current superior?"

"It's General Song Wanjun," Yang Zicheng replied with a puzzled expression.

"Old Man Song is still working?" Yun Lintian was slightly surprised.

"Yes. He is about to retire this year," Yang Zicheng explained. "Why did you ask this?"

"Since you've been working under Old Man Song, do you know he tried to recruit me to the army many times?" Yun Lintian inquired.

"I've heard about it," Yang Zicheng responded.

"Do you know why I refused him?" Yun Lintian asked further.

"I don't know," Yang Zicheng admitted. "Freedom, I guess?" 

He was aware of Yun Lintian's astonishing record on the battlefield. He also felt it would be a pity for Yun Lintian to be a mercenary instead of joining the army.
