Luo Zhao straightened up, folding his hands behind his back again: "Go ahead."
"Alright!"
The soldier dashed away swiftly.
...
Pei Zhan entered the camp at dusk.
The border defense commander, coincidentally Du Mingqian's uncle, Gao Changyuan, was on duty. As he welcomed Pei Zhan and his entourage, he began reporting on recent military situations from various areas halfway through their journey.
"Ten days ago, I received the urgent order sent by the General, and everything has been arranged as instructed. All outposts are under control, just waiting for the General to arrive!"
Gao Changyuan, thirty years old, is Mrs. Du's youngest brother. He made numerous contributions during the attack on Dayue, rising from the lowest rank of Centurion to deputy general. Having stayed in the northwest for thirteen or fourteen years, he is well-versed in the terrain of all areas. He was once led by Pei Zhan, and before this expedition, the emperor personally mentioned him.
