Old Cha

King Rizhu's encampment had just been built, and weeds inside the tents had not yet been removed. Horses trampled muddy paths between the tents, leaving them soft like carpets.

The air was filled with the smell of urine from livestock and noises from soldiers. Those who were ignorant of the rules of the grassland would be taken aback at the scene, thinking that they had entered the territory of savages.

Gu Shenwei came to meet King Rizhu with a squad of guards. Those guards were swordsmen from the Great Snowmountain. Dragon King had not taken Maid Lotus with him at the suggestion of Fang Wenshi. "It would not matter in the Western Region. However, the customs in Norland are different, and it may give rise to contempt," Fang Wenshi advised.

At the gate of the encampment, a Naihang cavalry caught a glimpse of them. He raised his arm and then pointed toward the inner encampment. He told them in his poor Central Plains Chinese, "There. Go."
