From An Jing and Xiao Changyi's residence to the Imperial Capital, under normal circumstances, traveling by carriage would take more than a month, and riding a horse about twenty days—horse riding here refers to traveling by horse during the day and resting at night.
Even if it were an emergency that required traveling 800 li in haste, it would still take four to five days.
If Xiao Changyi were to go alone, riding Zhuri day and night without rest, even though Zhuri could cover a thousand li in a day, it would still take three days to reach the Imperial Capital.
