After writing the letter to Yun Chi, Hua Yan had someone deliver it to Capital City with the utmost haste.
No sooner had her letter been dispatched than she received correspondence from both Yun Chi and Su Zizhan.
Hua Yan opened Su Zizhan's letter first. In it, Su Zizhan spared no effort in roundly upbraiding Yun Chi, claiming he had clearly lost his wits. He rode the swift steed she had procured for him, one that could cover a thousand li in a single day, without pause for food or drink, and managed to intercept him in Zhaoyuan County.
Exhausted to death and having fought with him, if it weren't for the fact that he hadn't rested for a moment, while Su Zizhan had taken a break of two or three hours before reaching Zhaoyuan County, drained of energy, he surely could have overcome him; their bout would not have ended in a draw.
