Gu Yanfei could see the official road outside the west gate from afar. Those pedestrians and carriages had all been driven to the sides of the official road by the city gate guards, leaving a path in the middle.
The passersby on the official road whispered to each other in twos and threes and discussed animatedly. The commoners craned their necks and looked up.
Gu Yanfei slowed down her horse and looked up at the western city gate. When she focused, she saw Gu Yuan in a crimson official robe among a group of people hundreds of feet away.
