The next day, just as dawn broke, a group of people arrived at the hill behind the military camp.
Thunder Granny and Old Han knew they were going to the camp and did not follow them.
According to military regulations, the soldiers in the camp should get up and train before dawn.
However, they waited until the sun was up for half an hour before they finally heard the bugle sound.
The weather was cold, and the Empress Dowager could understand to a degree; after all, there were no current military actions, and training could be relaxed a bit as long as combat readiness was maintained.
But it took two quarters of an hour from the bugle sounding before all the soldiers were assembled.
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but get angry again, "With this speed of assembly, if there was an enemy attack, even the thickest gates and tallest walls would be breached!"
