Qin San Lang allowed Gu Jinli to gaze at the county for a while, and only resumed the convoy's advance after she lowered the curtain.
However, just as they moved ten zhang forward and approached the inn outside the county, the large group was stopped by a band of soldiers.
The leader was a Chief Commander, who, upon learning that several Company Commanders had arrived, politely came over to explain: "Are you heading back to Daokou Camp to fetch your family? Planning to enter the county? I'm afraid you can't go in. First, because you arrived late; the county, including the inn, is already full. Second, with so many people moving in and out, spies might sneak in. Qiu Troop Commander has ordered that any Kangrong soldiers passing by Gaoshui County can only send a few people into the county to procure items; rest are not allowed to step into Gaoshui County."
