Bab 537: Happenings in the World (VII)

Chengan District was seriously shorthanded. The male and female battalions took turns guarding the city gates.

The guard who stepped forward to ask the boy servant was a female soldier. He was slow in realizing her gender and a petrified look slowly stole over his face.

Chengan District did not seem quite right. Why would a woman be asked to guard the city gates and get beaten up by the weather?

The soldier did not know what the boy servant was thinking. Seeing that he was wearing old clothes full of patches and that the slow horse pulling a shabby and crude carriage looked like it might drop dead on the spot, she thought that they must have suffered many hardships along their journey to Chengan District.

The soldier took pity on them and asked with a gentler voice, "You're here to look for Mr. Wei?"

Seeing that the female soldier had a decent attitude, the boy servant felt more relaxed.
