After all, Huainan is a prosperous place with constant trade. After the rebellion, even though many people would rather take a detour than go to Shouchun, some merchants were greedy for profit and could not avoid passing through this place from time to time.
The soldiers guarding the city held halberds in their hands and did not dare to relax at all. The people who stopped them searched their bodies carefully and looked cautiously at the leader.
The guard leader leaned against the wall, holding his hands and looking the person up and down again before nodding and letting him go.
Midsummer had passed, but the heat had not yet subsided, and it was so hot that people could not help but feel a little absent-minded. The leader was squinting his eyes and looking into the distance in boredom, when he suddenly straightened up.
Under the bright sun, the official road outside the city was sparsely populated and green like clouds, but there was a faint shadow as far as the eye could see. As he got closer and closer, he could see more and more clearly. The attendants controlled the horses with swords and surrounded the two carriages one behind the other. The carriages rolled forward with impressive momentum. Someone in the long queue behind them held high a black flag and fluttered the flag.
