"I don't know why, but the inspections at Xuanbei Pass are getting stricter and stricter..."
"This small stretch of road will probably take us another hour before we can enter the city..."
"Shh, silence! Someone's coming!"
Under the iron walls of Xuanbei Pass, carriages lined up, taking turns undergoing martial law inspections.
The sound of horse hooves came closer and closer.
The already hushed conversations were shattered by the pounding hooves.
The situation at Xuanbei Pass is tense these days...

Originally, these issues should have been resolved collaboratively, but under the strategic machinations of various factions, Xuanbei Pass has become a battleground, under daily martial law, with many regulations that change with each new order, leaving the common people in misery.
Xie Xuanyi stood in the line, wearing a cloak, eyes lowered, waiting in silence.
