Evening.
The Yulin Army training ground was empty and deserted, with no one in training.
Chen Ji was in the stables, grooming warhorses alongside humble soldiers. The hard bristles of the brush scraped over the horse's body, leaving a fine layer of loose hair.
From the covered building behind him in the Governor Mansion came the indistinct sounds of betting and shouting, with Qi Zhenzhuo's voice the loudest: "Come, come, place your bets, no more bets!"
Lin Yanchu looked at Chen Ji: "Mr. Chen, things can't go on like this. The Left Brave Guard has no Commander, the Right Brave Guard's Commander is utterly useless, and the governor is hiding in the barracks, asleep..."
Chen Ji shook his head: "They've all been spoiled at home, thinking that as long as they throw a tantrum, someone will come and placate them. It's nothing, they'll be fine in a few days."
