Finally, after traveling day and night for a month, they reached the gate of Ganning.
But they found that in broad daylight, Ganning's city gate was tightly closed, which was very unusual.
Seeing the closed city gate of Ganning, Fu Shinian's heart sank.
She had originally hoped that if luck was on their side, and the epidemic hadn't broken out yet, they might be able to stop it early.
But now, it seemed impossible.
"Who goes there?" shouted the soldiers from the city wall.
Cheng Yuanshan found these soldiers very strange, as each of them had their faces covered with cloth, with only their eyes visible under their helmets.
Cheng Yuanshan got off his horse and said, "We are ordered by the emperor to deliver supplies to the Northwest Army."
"An epidemic has broken out in the city, and it has been reported to the court," yelled the soldier on the wall. "Ganning is now under lockdown, you should take a detour."
"Epidemic?" Cheng Yuanshan was surprised.
