Early the next morning, before dawn, Zhu Yu was indeed awakened by Lu Qing. The other personal soldiers were still sound asleep. Zhu Yu got up, put on her soft armor and outer robe, and re-tied her half-loosened hair bun, ensuring no flaw was visible.
Before long, the others also gradually woke up. By the time drums and horns were sounded in the camp, they were already fully dressed and began their routine patrol, inspecting the morning drills of the military officers and soldiers.
This allowed Zhu Yu to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
She had initially worried that Situ Jing's personal soldiers would have to train like the other soldiers in the imperial guard, practicing with weapons and such, which she had no clue about. It wasn't a problem to endure some fatigue, but she feared blending into the ranks might expose her and bring trouble.
