The two of them rode in the aircraft until they arrived in front of a town, then got off and walked towards the city gate. Seeing a lot of people queuing in front of them, Duan Ye looked at Feng Jiu.
"I didn't get a good rest last night, so just rest here tonight! They'll be looking after Tiandan Tower, so you don't have to worry too much."
Feng Jiu smiled and said, "That's fine. Anyway, there's nothing to worry about right now. I'm just afraid that my brother and Mo Chen will worry about me." As she spoke, she looked towards the city and said, "Let's go into the city and see if there is a branch of Tianyuan Palace. If there is, let them send a message back so that they won't worry at home."
"Then send a message to Song Ming and the others, telling them that I have left the sect and followed you." He looked at her and said.
"That's fine."
She nodded, and the two of them walked forward together, following the people in line towards the city gate. Looking at the city gate guards who seemed to be searching for something, she moved her eyes slightly and said, "What are those people looking for?"
It is normal to have guards at the city gate, but searching people like this is a bit too much, especially since some of them are women. It is really inappropriate to have one or two male guards searching them there.
Duan Ye looked ahead and saw some women from ordinary families retreating when they heard that they would be searched before entering the city gate. However, when some female monks stepped forward, the guards did not dare to be too presumptuous and just gave them a rough look before letting them pass.
"I really didn't hide anything on me. I was just carrying my sister on my back. We were going into the city to see a doctor. My family lives in a small mountain village not far from the city. Really, I'm just an ordinary, decent girl." A woman in simple clothes was carrying a little girl of seven or eight years old wrapped in a sheet on her back. When she saw the guard's outstretched hand, she couldn't help but step back while explaining.
Which decent woman would allow a man to search her body like this? Even if she was not a monk, but just an ordinary citizen, she would not want to be taken advantage of.
"Who knows if what you said is true or not? The city has been in turmoil recently. Everyone entering and leaving has to be carefully checked, both men and women." A city guard said, pushing the woman arrogantly, "It's okay if you don't check. Hurry up and move aside. Don't block the way for the people behind you."
The people in the queue saw that there were almost no young women. Instead, when some older women came forward, those people simply glanced at them and waved them through. It was obvious that they had no interest in older women at all.
"I heard that many people died in the city recently, so martial law was imposed. Everyone entering and leaving was checked. However, the actions of these people were too obvious. The female monks dared not to offend them, and they were not interested in touching the older women, so they only took advantage of the younger ones."
"That's right. A teenage girl from our village was stopped and taken advantage of by these people when she wanted to go to the city to buy medicine for her father. She went back with swollen eyes from crying. These days, some young girls don't go to the city unless they have something to do. Even if they have something to do, they ask others to do it for them."
"Alas! What's the difference between these city guards and bandits? The monks don't dare to mess with them, so we ordinary people can only suffer."
The two old men and the man standing in front of Fengjiu and Duan Ye were talking in low voices. Their eyes swept across the crowd in front of them, fell on the woman carrying the girl, and then glanced at the city guards.
