The soldiers didn't interfere after hearing this, letting the foreigners do as they wished with their prisoner. It wasn't their place to meddle, and they respectfully let them in.
One soldier, however, gave Gong Qinghua a look of disgust, openly showing his loathing for the kidnapping. It was revolting!
Gong Qinghua was so angry that he nearly burst his own acupoints! He wanted to chop the soldier into a thousand pieces!
It was already outrageous enough that he had not been recognized, but to be looked down upon was seeking death!
Gong Qinghua had retained a sliver of hope that he would be recognized by the city guards or generals during the city gate inspection, leading to his rescue!
But his hopes would be dashed. Earlier, he had been hit by a slew of objects thrown by the common folks, leaving him covered in blood and appearing ragged. Who could recognize him under these circumstances!
