Yan Liqiang rode swiftly. They left the capital regions after just a day, traveling eastward toward Gan Province.
The route Yan Liqiang chose to travel on was the very same one they used when they escorted Sun Bingchen back to the Imperial Capital. However, the journey through the provinces and counties was a lot more relaxing this time compared to back then since Yan Liqiang wasn't on an escort mission.
By the ninth day of the seventh lunar month, it had been about half a month since Yan Liqiang and the other two had left the capital. They arrived at Lu Province which was several thousand kilometers away from the Imperial Capital, and it was also known as the capital of wine.
