Yan Liqiang's party received special treatment upon their return this time. Besides Yan Liqiang, everyone in the party realized it too.
By nightfall on the very same day, Yan Liqiang and the others arrived at Su'an City under the cavalry's escort and stayed the night at the best inn in the city.
The atmosphere in Su'an City was a bit tense. Although it was snowing, there were very few pedestrians on the street and many shops and restaurants were closed. However, there were many law enforcers and soldiers on patrol instead. Yan Liqiang only found out that the entire Lai Province was like this when he asked the cavalrymen who escorted them here. After the Divine Sword Sect took control of Lai Province, night curfews, as well as food and control over resources were implemented in every city within the borders. This was implemented in order to prevent the White Lotus Society from exploiting the situation by starting a rebellion and causing further chaos.
