"Man, we even had to show our personal identification tokens just to step through the front gates. What a hassle." Ning Shoukai grumbled from atop his mount, stretching his arms.
"Well, the Emperor himself resides in this very city." Xie Lanying chuckled softly, glancing around at the heavily guarded streets. "Naturally, the imperial guards have to be extra strict regarding security. They are terrified that someone with malicious intentions might slip into the Capital and attempt to harm His Majesty."
"We are going to my family's residence first and staying there for a few days to rest." Bai Xifeng announced to the group.
"Hmm... That sounds like a wonderful plan." Xie Lanying nodded in agreement.
