Bai Yunyu woke up early in the morning after a servant knocked on his door, "Master Bai, Commander Lu ordered me to give you a look around the garrison."

Bai Yunyu tied his long hair and washed his face with warm water served by the servant. He wore a new, thicker robe because the air in the north was colder than in the south, even though it was still spring.

The servant led the way as he gave a tour around the garrison. This garrison protected the Ming Capital Province, the busiest city in the north. Since there was a frequent barbarian invasion during the winter, they needed to be extra guarded. The barbarians would loot and kill the men, sometimes also kidnapping the women. 

Bai Yunyu listened attentively as they paced to the main yard of the garrison. It was wide and packed with soldiers who were doing their morning training.
