Of course, Lord Wei was no fool to have made his way to Mianzhou, so he wasn't restricted to only inspect the areas he was led to.
Even though Lord Wei wasn't local, he seemed to always find severely disaster-stricken areas. Having learned their lesson yesterday, the local officials, from the inspector down to the county magistrates, didn't dare further any superfluous actions. Wherever Lord Wei wanted to inspect, they humbly guided him there.
Old Master Bai walked by Lord Wei's side but always felt uneasy. As evening descended and everyone rested in another county, Old Master Bai immediately called his servant over and whispered, "Go back home right now and see if anything has happened. We'll still be in this county tomorrow, and we're expected to return to Luojiang County the day after. If there's any issue, send someone to inform me immediately."
"My lord, should I return overnight?"
"Yes, return overnight. Be careful on the road."
"Understood."
