Heavy troops guard at every level.
Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi watched from a distance as the people in front queued to be checked before they could leave.
On the city gate, there suddenly appeared portraits of the two of them.
The two exchanged glances.
Then, they too entered the queue of people.
The soldiers checked very carefully, and after a long wait, it was their turn.
"Where are you going?" the soldier asked.
"To Shu," Xiao Jinxing answered.
This was something they had discussed beforehand.
They would surely encounter various checkpoints along the way and had prepared their lines in advance.
"Where are you coming from?" the soldier asked.
"Guihe."
"What are you doing in Shu?"
"Returning home to visit relatives."
The soldier scrutinized Xiao Jinxing up and down, then took out the portrait to compare it with Xiao Jinxing's appearance.
Xiao Jinxing slightly lowered his gaze, appearing somewhat meek.
