In other words, even if he and the two Lords had been speaking in hushed tones earlier, those two outside the door could undoubtedly have heard them if they wished.
Li Fusheng stood up. He was clearly wearing armor, though it was somewhat oversized. Upon closer inspection, one could even see fur sewn inside it.
Damn,
In both of his lives, Chief Zheng had never seen armor with a warming layer. This wasn't padded armor, but fine steel plate; adding fur inside gave it an extremely incongruous look.
Li Fusheng's hands were tucked inside his armor. When he rose, he hunched over slightly, looking rather like a laid-back slacker.
"Chief Zheng, for this southern expedition, I've left half of my force in the north. Barring any mishaps, your unit should fall under my command."
"It is this humble general's honor!"
Li Fusheng nodded and said, "I've spent most of my life in the north. This is my first time in the south. Chief Zheng, show me around Yin City."
