As the lieutenant gave the order, the soldiers shivering on the city wall suddenly tightened their backs, each drawing their bows aiming into the distance.
In the darkness, a team could be seen, accompanying a simple carriage with a lantern hung from its corners, racing towards them.
"Open the gates quickly!"
The guard leading the way, clad in tight gear and riding a dark horse, reined in and shouted: "Inside the carriage is the daughter of the Governor of Suining City, the niece of General Ye! Suining City has been captured, Zhou has already captured our Empress of Xiliang, the governor's daughter risked her life to escape and deliver this news! Please, General Ye, open the gates!"
Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper next to the lieutenant quickly looked at the latter: "General? Should we report to General Ye?"
