"Hurry, hurry, Liu Yazi, the city gate is about to close, you'd better hurry!" Chen Shao looked up and saw that the soldiers guarding the city seemed to be preparing to close the gate, and urged them anxiously.
Liu Yazi didn't reply, gritted his teeth, and drove forward blindly.
Meng Tianze glanced in the direction of the city gate, then leaned out from behind the carriage and shouted, "Everyone hurry up, let's get into the city before the gates close!"
