Distance did not lead his trust astray Part I

Bai Yu arrived at the border in the middle of the night the next day. The military camp at the border was arranged neatly into rows of tents. As soon as Ouyang Mingxian’s troop reached it, everyone noticed its silence. For the army that lost its commander, the strain appeared in mere days.

“Greetings to Qin Wang.”

Without Ouyang Feilong, the highest-ranked person here was Yue Huiling, the lieutenant-general. She was in full armor, and behind her were other generals in the army who had come to welcome their new commander with blank faces. There was no gladness to be felt among them.

For the soldiers who had been in war for the majority of their lives, Ouyang Mingxian, who had never been in battle, would not easily earn their respect. If there were no royal decree, Yue Huiling would never come out and wait for Ouyang Mingxian like this. The current war was a significant test for him.
