They decided to get closer to better understand the situation.
As they moved forward with the crowd, they finally arrived at the city gate.
The city gates were tightly shut, heavily guarded, with soldiers holding spears, ready and waiting, preventing the frantic populace from flooding in.
Not far from the gates, a middle-aged man in official robes was anxiously directing the soldiers to maintain order, his face filled with exhaustion and helplessness. Luo Chen and Liang Qi exchanged a glance and decided to step forward to inquire.
They made their way through the crowd and came before the official, politely bowing and asking, "Sir, what exactly has happened in Qingfeng City? Why are the people so panicked?"
The official looked up at them, noting their extraordinary attire and demeanor, secretly guessing their identities.
