Chen Ji climbed out of the carriage and stood beside Lü Qi, making three gestures toward Lin Yanchu from a distance.
In the next moment, Lin Yanchu unexpectedly turned his horse around and called out loudly, "Open the city gate."
The infantrymen exchanged glances, and a Hundred Households official from the Five Cities Military Department stepped forward: "Commander Lin, are you really going to open the city gate? The curfew drum has sounded, and opening the gate rashly could lead to removal from office and investigation."
Lin Yanchu firmly replied, "Open it!"
Upon receiving the order, the infantrymen of the Five Cities Military Department immediately removed three rows of caltrops. The heavy city gate at Anding Gate was slowly pulled open, leaving only a gap wide enough for the carriage to pass through.
Everybody on the carriage looked toward Chen Ji, no wonder he insisted on leaving through Anding Gate, he had already prepared a backup plan there.
