Chapter 161: Permission To Enter The City
After the Ji Army left, the city gate was opened from inside. Soon, Tan Pengtai and his team came out. Riding their warhorses, they arrived swiftly in front of Tuluo Cheng and the others.
Sitting atop his warhorse, Tan Pengtai observed Tuluo Cheng, the adjutant, and the nine guards. Seeing that they were thin and had sallow complexions, he said, "Everyone, please follow me into the city."
Tuluo Cheng clasped his hands and replied, "Thank you, General Tan."
After a brief exchange, Tan Pengtai led them into the city.
Standing among the curious refugees, Gui Ying watched everything with great interest.
Glancing at the man beside him, he slowly fanned himself and asked, "Brother, this young master noticed you are wearing clothing from the Rong Tribe. Are you here on business?"
The young man shook his head and sighed. "My caravan was attacked by bandits a month ago. My family had no choice but to join the refugees because of this. Fortunately, we heard rumors of food and water in Xiqiang City, so we came to try our luck."
Listening to his answer, Gui Ying nodded in understanding. "It’s not easy to do business in the current state of the world."
After saying that, he thoughtfully looked at the man for a moment before smiling and walking away.
Walking into Xiqiang City, Tuluo Cheng and the others were shocked by the clean streets and bustling atmosphere. Although many buildings were still in disrepair, the citizens looked healthy, happy, and full of smiles.
