The Inner City District of Linji City was located slightly to the north, while Ruyi District was near the South City Gate of the Outer City District. The distance between them was quite significant.
Chen Cheng hired a horse-drawn carriage and brought Mu Xiaowan to the South Gate of the Inner City District.
After they got off the carriage, a tall and magnificent fortified city filled their vision.
The wide moat was well over a hundred feet across. Even though it was the dry season, the water was still dark and so deep you couldn't see the bottom.
A stone bridge, wide enough for four or five carriages to travel side-by-side, connected the South City District to the gate of the Inner City District.
Dozens of armored soldiers, holding long spears, guarded the front of the stone bridge with stern and solemn expressions.
An officer and a few soldiers were checking the travel permits of passersby one by one.
