"Good! You're lucky! I'm going back soon, so I'll take you with me. But you have to know that now that we're in Chang'an City, you can't leave casually. You have to wait for His Majesty's order before you can leave. Do you understand?"

The man said seriously.

Although the girl didn't quite understand why, she nodded obediently.

Seeing the girl nod, the man did not hesitate. He gently picked up the girl, jumped onto the horse, and placed the girl steadily in front of him.

"Let's go! Back to Chang'an!"

Following an order, the group rode forward again, raising a cloud of dust that lingered behind them for a long time.

……

The Mingde Gate in Chang'an City is tall and majestic, like a giant beast entrenched there.

The Sixteen Guards of the Southern Court were busy working here. They all had serious expressions and were carefully checking the people who wanted to enter the city.

The situation now is different from before. For some reason, people are pouring into Chang'an in large numbers like a tide, which has suddenly increased the work pressure of the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Court.

Not only do they need to conduct strict screening of people entering the city, but they also need to register everyone's information in detail.

Sometimes, when the flow of people in Chang'an reached a peak, they were also responsible for intercepting the people who wanted to enter and patiently informing them of the relevant regulations one by one.

Because there was an order from above that the law should be enforced in a civilized manner and not be rude or disrespectful to the people.

Although they did not quite understand the specific meaning of "civilization", they were instructed in plain language by their superiors to treat the people with a gentle attitude and not to cause unnecessary unrest.

The Jinyiwei naturally did not need to be checked when entering the city, as they had special identities and access rights.

But this time Lu Jingshuo also brought a little girl in distress, so the situation was a little different.

He is from Xianyang and has received a good education since childhood. Deep down in his heart, he has been stamped with the stamp of law-abidingness.

He asked his men to go back and rest first, and he took the girl to the registration office.

When the official from the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Court who was in charge of registration saw a Jinyiwei coming towards him, he suddenly felt uneasy.

He had never done anything wrong, but as an official, he was naturally afraid of the Jinyiwei.

In this hot weather, he was already sweating profusely due to being busy, and at this moment, the sweat coming out of his body seemed to have a hint of chill.

"This girl wants to go to the city. Can you please help her register?"

Lu Jingsuo said politely.

The official in charge of registration quickly stood up, repeatedly bowing, his voice trembling, "Your Excellency, you are too kind! Since this is someone you brought here, I am naturally 100% confident! Don't worry, I will definitely simplify the process!"

Hearing what the official said, Lu Jingsuo's eyes became sharp.

He said sternly, "Let the process be as it should be. Everything will be in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Do you understand?"

The majestic look seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, which frightened the young official.

That’s right, sir, everything should be done according to the law!”

The official nodded and said hurriedly.

"What's the little girl's name?" the official asked gently, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Song, Song Jingshu."

The girl replied softly.

"Okay, how old are you this year and where are you from?"

The officer then asked.

"I'm fourteen this year. I'm coming from Hedong Road to Taiyuan."

The girl answered.

Hearing the girl say this, the official looked at her in surprise and secretly admired this thin little girl in his heart.

"Taiyuan? That's quite a distance! How did you get here?"

the official asked curiously.

"I took it one step at a time."

The girl's answer was simple, but it shocked the official.

He looked at the straw sandals on the girl's feet. The sandals were completely worn out and had almost no soles. They were only worn on her feet symbolically.
