The two of them walked around the city for about an hour and found nothing unusual, so they turned around and walked towards the city gate.
At this time, there were still crowds of people outside the city gate, and a long queue with no end in sight stretched to who knows where.
Chen Tian and the others found an inconspicuous place. Ke Hong took out a jade slip for sound transmission and said to the jade slip: "Everything is normal, you can come in."
The jade slip in Xu Shu's hand hidden outside the city flickered, and then Ke Hong's voice came.
Xu Shu took two steps forward, came behind Kan Yue, and said respectfully: "The general sent a message, telling us that we can go in."
Kan Yue nodded and said: "Okay, you tell them to enter in batches."
Xu Shu respectfully said: "Understood!" Then he went to arrange the people.
After a while, Xu Shu came behind Kan Yue and said, "Your Highness, everything has been arranged."
"Let's get going too!" Kan Yue nodded and said.
Then he took out a black robe and put it on his body, and covered his face with a piece of black cloth. Only his eyes were exposed. Now he could only pray that the soldier would not inspect him too strictly.
After making all preparations, Kan Yue carried Xiaoyu and came to the end of the long queue. Xu Shu followed her. After Kan Yue and a few more people came up, other people lined up behind the long queue.
Time passed by, and it was almost an hour before it was Kan Yue's turn. Kan Yue pretended to cough twice and gently pulled the black robe on her body.
The soldier asked: "Where are you from? What are you doing in the city?"
Kan Yue coughed twice again and said: "People from a village a few miles away were infected with the cold and went to the city to see a doctor."
When Kan Yue spoke again, Xiaoyu lay in Kan Yue's arms, looking timid and timid.
The soldier also looked at Xiaoyu at this moment, and Xiaoyu quickly buried her head in Kan Yue's arms, looking extremely scared.
Kan Yue quickly explained: "This is my child. Both mother and daughter are infected with the cold, so we can only go to the imperial city to seek medical treatment."
The soldier nodded and then asked: "Why are you covering your face?"
Kan Yue coughed again, and then said: "This kind of wind and cold is extremely contagious, so we have to take precautions."
The soldier frowned and said, "Take off the veil."
Kan Yue's palms unconsciously grasped the corners of his clothes, and he shook his head hurriedly: "No, no, this cold is very serious. If it is transmitted to you, Master Jun, it will be my fault."
But the soldier refused and shouted louder: "Take off the veil!"
Cold sweat broke out on Kan Yue's palms. The faces of Chen Tian and Chen Tian who were standing in the city observing the city gate also changed. Chen Tian even clenched his fists. If any accident occurred, he would take action immediately.
Seeing that Kan Yue had not taken off the veil, the soldier urged again: "Take off the veil quickly, or I will detain you."
Xu Shu, who was standing behind Kan Yue, wanted to take action several times, but he endured it. He had not been exposed yet and could not take action easily, otherwise it would ruin the matter.
As the soldiers pressed closer and closer, Kan Yue had no choice but to reach out and prepare to take off the veil, hoping that the soldier did not recognize her. This was the best outcome now.
For a moment, several pairs of eyes looked at Kan Yue, the cold-faced soldier, Chen Tian and the two men standing in the city, and Xu Shu behind Kan Yue, but each of them had different thoughts.
Just when Kan Yue's fingers touched the veil and was about to take it off, a man in casual clothes standing a dozen or so positions behind Kan Yue and the others suddenly raised his head, and then slapped a few soldiers on the side with his palm.
Without any further attention, several people were slapped and flew away.
Everyone was shocked. The guarding soldiers pulled out their long knives and pointed at the person who made the move. The soldier who was standing in front of Kan Yue and preparing to check was also shocked. He pulled out the long knife from his waist and pointed at the person.
The man sneered and took action again, instantly knocking several people away and killing several soldiers. Seeing that several people were defeated, the soldiers standing in front of Kan Yue also joined in.
Kan Yue seized the opportunity and rushed into the city quickly. Xu Shu also hurriedly followed. All the soldiers were dragged by that man and did not even notice Kan Yue and the others.
As soon as Kan Yue and Xu Shu rushed into the city, Chen Tian appeared instantly, led them into the crowd and disappeared.
As soon as Chen Tian and others left, dozens of people rushed out of the city and immediately surrounded the man. Although he could defeat more than a dozen people, he could never defeat dozens of people. He was defeated in a short time.
He was also very decisive. Seeing that he was outmatched, he grabbed a long knife and cut his neck to commit suicide.
Dozens of soldiers quickly took away the five or six corpses on the ground, along with the man's body, and closed the city gate, announcing that they could only enter the city tomorrow.
Everyone who has not yet entered the city can only leave, including the more than 100 people who have not yet entered the city. They can only come back tomorrow.
Chen Tian and others rented a relatively remote courtyard and planned to stay here first, and then make the next plan after everyone arrives in the city tomorrow.
After entering the small courtyard, Kan Yue said to Ke Hong with a look of remorse: "General Ke, I..."
"Your Highness, Princess, I know what you are going to say. From the moment I picked him, it means that he will face death at any time. Your Highness, the Princess, does not have to blame himself. I think he should feel honored to die for her.
"Ke Hong interrupted Kan Yue and said.
After a pause, Ke Hong continued: "Not only him, but anyone from the day they enter the army, their life no longer belongs to them, and it is no longer just for themselves, but for the country, for the protection of themselves."
Although this is cruel, it is the fact."
Kan Yue was stunned. She had never been on the battlefield and didn't know how cruel the battlefield was. Only then did she understand that as a general, her sister had to face many such things?
She has become so determined now.
Ke Hong seemed to feel that what he said was a bit too much. Just as he was about to speak, Chen Tian shook his head at him. He also understood what Chen Tian meant and gently retreated with Xu Shu.
Chen Tian took two steps forward, but before he could speak, Kan Yue said, "Am I a little too selfish?"
Chen Tian said slowly: "You are not selfish. Your sister is their general. Even without you, they will come to her, and people will still die. As General Ke Hong said, from the day they entered the army
, their lives no longer belong to them, they will sacrifice their lives for the people they protect, but they will never complain."
After saying that, Chen Tian reached out and rubbed Kan Yue's hair, and said with a smile: "It's okay, don't blame yourself too much."
"Yes! Sister in red, be happy." Xiaoyu helped Kan Yue straighten her hair that was messed up by Chen Tian and comforted her.
