Gu Chengyu brought Ming Mo and the others to the city tower, presented the tooth card and the official seal, and only then were they allowed to ascend.
The previous Hundred Households Wang, upon seeing Gu Chengyu arrive, hurried forward to salute.
"No need for formalities!" Gu Chengyu took a step forward and looked down. At this sight, his expression involuntarily grew grave.
Below was a densely packed, orderly array of armored soldiers. At the front, mounted on a tall horse, should be the leader of this siege.
Yet Gu Chengyu did not recognize this person and did not know who he was. But he saw the banner below, which had the word "Gong" written on it.
Gu Chengyu turned to look at the archers filling the city tower and asked in a deep voice, "How many troops do we have?"
