The carriage stopped at the entry gate of Xinshui town. Huang Xi showed his identity token to one of the guards deployed at the gate. He immediately greeted the Commander and returned the token to him.
He gestured to the other soldiers to open the gates, who pulled the lever. The giant gate opened up. Li Hua peeked outside the window, and Lóng Wei didn't stop her.
Li Hua was amazed to see such a big gate was present in Xinshui. Her father never let her go out, so she could never get to see these things. Since it was late at night, she could not see much. She leaned back in her seat and smiled.
"I can feel my hometown's air," Li Hua said in a low voice.
She gazed into Lóng Wei's eyes. "Your Highness, I am eager to see my brother," she said, but she looked anxious. She moved close to Lóng Wei and leaned toward him to whisper,
"The Fourth Prince and the Second Commander will get suspicious. What will we do then?"
