"Brother Cheng, what brings you here? Please come in!"
After welcoming the scholar in, Su quickly closed the courtyard gate. He was now a fugitive and dared not come face to face with the soldiers.
Before the scholar could speak, Su Xie asked him if he knew any way to leave the city.
If it weren't for his wife wanting to come back and visit her father-in-law, he wouldn't have dared to enter the city. He originally planned to stay for two days and then leave quickly, but who knew that no one would be allowed to enter or leave early this morning!

"We're backed into a corner; we have no choice but to rebel! Once the city gates open, our brothers outside will storm in, and who will win is anyone's guess. When our leader becomes emperor, you'll be the greatest contributor..."
