Morning after.
When the two arrived in Shengping County, the weather changed suddenly, dark clouds pressed down on the county, and a hazy drizzle began to fall.
But looking at the sky, it seemed like it wouldn't be long before it pours heavily.
The road was sparsely populated, with two white-haired old soldiers guarding the city gate of Shengping County.
But to say they were guarding it, they weren't really guarding it at all.
Just as Yi Lin and Wang Xiaohu were stabling their horses at the gate's inn, they saw the two dedicated old soldiers waking up, yawning, and walking back inside, effectively leaving Shengping County unguarded.
Such lax defense?
Yi Lin and Wang Xiaohu exchanged glances, wasn't the outside world supposed to be bleak, with bandits rampant and things not going well?
But taking advantage of this gap with the city gate unguarded, Yi Lin dragged Wang Xiaohu straight into the city.
