A group of people left Fengcheng, and after traveling a distance, Hua Yan suddenly remembered something and called to a halt An Shiliu.
An Shiliu asked Hua Yan, "What instructions does the Young Master have?"
Hua Yan parted the carriage curtain and looked outside, instructing, "Shiliu, we're not taking the official road. Let's follow the Heilong River instead."
An Shiliu immediately said, "Young Master, after the Heilong River's dike burst, there's no path to travel on; both sides are filled with mud and ravines."
