The sun was high up in the sky but because of the weather it wasn't hot as the cool breeze kept blowing, it was almost midday and Si Ning and his men had been on the road for almost a day and a half, they only stop to eat, feed the horses and take turns to rest when it was nightfall. They rode their horses at full speed only to slow down when it was time for them to be cautious of their surroundings or when they get tired of the wind hitting their faces and they had to slow things down.
