"So that’s how it is." Wei Guanguan nodded to show her understanding: "My brother and I privately agreed to go with you to the dicine Tower to study, also to save my mother. When we get ho, I’ll take you to see my mother."
As she spoke, her cheeks suddenly reddened, and her voice beca much softer: "My mother will also be very happy to see you."
"What?" Not hearing clearly, Mu Qingge had to ask again.
Wei Guanguan, like a startled little beast, shook her head frantically denying: "No, nothing."
Mu Qingge did not suspect her, nodded, and asked no more.
In their casual conversation, the group had already arrived at Tu City’s gates.
Tu City’s gates were guarded by the army. All who ca and went had to present their entry permits. If the entry permits were not yet acquired, they had to register their na, origin, native place, and reason for entering the city, among other things...
The strict and orderly managent made Mu Qingge secretly nod, once again impressed by Wei Linlang’s capabilities.
"Mu Ge, let’s wait here for a bit," Wei Qi said, walking over to Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge looked up ahead, where Uncle Zhou had already led two people over, among them was Mo Yang.
"You’ve just arrived and haven’t obtained the entry permits yet, Uncle Zhou went to inform them. Otherwise, with their rigid deanor, they’d probably stop you and Mo Yang, registering and checking everyone before letting them through," Wei Qi explained.
Wei Guanguan agreed with a nod, pouting in dissatisfaction: "Exactly. You have no idea how stubborn they are. Last ti, my personal maid was sent out of the city on an errand and left in a hurry, forgetting to bring the entry permit back, and they absolutely refused to let her in until I ca out from the mansion to personally fetch her."
After listening, Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow slightly and expressed her view: "I sohow think this is quite good."
Before coming, she had specifically researched Tu City’s geographic position and understood the reasons for Wei Linlang’s strict inspections.
Tu City belongs to Li Country’s southwestern border, adjacent to Yu Country. At the sa ti, it is near Li Country’s renowned Feather Forest. It’s said that there are many Flying Spirit Beasts in that forest. If Li Country’s people were more proficient in the Taming Beast thod, they would probably possess a formidable aerial combat force.
Under Uncle Zhou’s guidance, the city’s entry registration was completed quickly.
Upon returning, Uncle Zhou said: "The entry permit will be ready by tomorrow, soone will deliver it directly to the mansion, Mu Gongzi will just have to wait for a day."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou," Mu Qingge nodded and smiled.
Seeing the long queue outside the city and the ticulous checks, Mu Qingge felt fortunate to have encountered the Wei family siblings. Otherwise, had she brought people herself, it might have taken quite so ti to get in.
A large group entered Tu City under the highly envious gazes of the queue. Perhaps the insignia of the City Lord Mansion on Uncle Zhou and the others had a deterring effect, so no one dared to jump out and cause trouble.
Upon entering Tu City, Mu Qingge’s eyes brightened.
Because the buildings in Tu City were arranged thodically, intersecting, and lined up neatly, giving a very tidy and efficient impression.
"These buildings..." Mu Qingge instinctively asked aloud.
Before she could finish, Wei Guanguan interrupted: "You also think our Tu City is quite different, don’t you?"
Mu Qingge nodded.
She proudly continued: "My father said Tu City’s position is important, we must also guard against attacks from Flying Spirit Beasts in Feather Forest. So the layout of the buildings must be clear and accessible for military support and civilian evacuation. Additionally, every hundred steps, there’s a hidden chamber buried underground. If attacked by Flying Spirit Beasts, the civilians can retreat into them for safety."
