However, after saying this, Pei Ye did not reach for the horsewhip but turned around to head back.
"Eh?" Xie Chuantang was puzzled.
"I'm going to call on Yan Feiqing." Pei Ye said seriously.
"..."
Xie Chuantang stuffed the horsewhip into his hand, "The orders from above say there's no need, they just told me to bring you."
She then moved forward.
Pei Ye's eyes widened as he followed, "Which 'above'?"
Xie Chuantang fell silent for a moment, then turned her head, "I was going to ask you the same thing... There's a 'Lord Tong', do you know him?"
"Hmm?"
They arrived at the stable, and Xie Chuantang led a particularly spirited horse over to him, "Yesterday, when I got the news about this boat, I reported it to Magistrate Di, and by that time the boat had already left the capital region. Magistrate Di then contacted this 'Lord Tong'—that very night, these two horses were sent over."
"Purebred Qilin Blood, these horses can cover four hundred miles in an hour."
