The two of them didn't understand the situation here and could only obediently pretend to be ordinary civilians.
Entering the city required routine body searches. The guard at the gate had been stationed at that post for many years. During the time Bai Junjun and Fox were helping eradicate bandits, he often saw them coming and going, so he would never forget their faces even in his dreams. Adding to that, the County Magistrate's token they carried was authentic, and he easily recognized them immediately.
At this moment, he pretended to search them, trying his best to provide them with as much information as possible: "The forces of the rival military, Yuwen's Ninth Prince, have sent their trusted aides here. The County Magistrate has long been rendered powerless. They've been searching for those who helped exterminate the bandits back then—you must not reveal your identities."
"What about Old Uncle Qiu and the others?"
"They... are in prison."
