Before he could finish speaking, he saw the Embroidered Guard Captain beside him lift his cloak and draw his Gold-Inlaid Ox-tail Saber from his waist, pointing it towards the members of the Changfeng Gang and bellowing loudly, "Close all the city gates, no one is permitted to enter or exit, the rest of you follow me… Let's go!"
"Clang, clang, clang…"
In an instant, the sound of swords being drawn rang out as one. Those Embroidered Guards, who just seconds before had appeared simple and enthusiastic, now turned into fierce and ferocious figures, bristling with murderous intent.

But Qin, riding off into the distance, was already too far to hear his cries.
A confused and heavy tread of footsteps approached the tea stall rapidly.
