The commandants left the meeting with broad smiles and springy steps. They each informed their troops of the good news. The troops had just finished their meager breakfast of bland grain porridge, so the prospect of eating delicious lunch and dinner in the future was a great comfort.
They happily departed for their destination, all the while discussing their favorite cuisines from their hometowns. Even Captain Zhang, who initially felt that Xiao Yue's and Yu Fen's appointment as squires was unfair toward the others, started to warm up to them.
He knew that Yu Fen still felt uncomfortable when riding on horses, so he shared good tips to reduce nausea and dizziness. To Xiao Yue, he made a point to tell her things that newcomers need to know, such as how to take care of dirty laundry and what kind of dry food to keep in case of an emergency.
