The old Duke felt that it was a good thing to drill the Jinglu troops while waiting for Su Rong. It didn't matter where they were, they were still soldiers.

Hence, under the military drill plan of the old Duke, the one hundred thousand Jinglu troops were trained to the point of exhaustion, sweating heavily and panting under the cold weather.

The old Duke personally supervised, so the soldiers couldn't slack off.

Upon hearing that Su Rong had arrived, the old Duke looked at the sky and said, "Let's call it a day!"

The soldiers almost jolted with joy.

The old Duke walked out to greet Su Rong, while instructing his men to invite her into the military camp. He thought to himself that the girl was quite quick, arriving a day earlier than he had anticipated.

When Su Rong heard the noise in the military camp dying down, she was led into the camp. After walking a distance, she saw the old Duke coming towards her. Quickening her pace, she came forward, greeted the old Duke, "Old Duke."
