In order to leave Anding Village as soon as possible, Yang Ming hurried to the town without bothering to eat.
Once in town, he quickly bought a good horse, but because he needed to pull the lamb, a lot of time was spent modifying the carriage. Yang Ming paid extra money for the rush job and finally made it back by nightfall.
Yang Ming drove the carriage quickly because he was anxious about his wife and son.
As he approached Anding Village, from a distance, Yang Ming sensed something was amiss.
At the entrance to Anding Village, there was a glow from a bonfire. The closer he got, the more he realized there were tents nearby, as if soldiers were camping there for a battle.
Yang Ming frowned, as a bad feeling surged through his heart. This feeling made him snap the whip a few more times.
The carriage sped forward, finally reaching the entrance of Anding Village.
Once he got closer, Yang Ming understood everything. Government officials had set up camp in Anding Village.
