Two hundred li may seem long, but on horseback or in a carriage, it's not much of a distance at all. The decent horses in Jianghu can cover eight hundred li in a day; those that qualify as fine steeds can even go a thousand li per day. So, how much faster would the famous horse be that Yuchi Jie had bought for a large sum of money?
Though it might seem extravagant to use a fine horse to pull a carriage, something others might find as wasteful as burning a zither to cook a crane, the speed was not a bit slow. Yuchi Jie found himself quite satisfied, feeling his silver hadn't been wasted. He paid no mind to the pitying glances from passersby.
All along the way, Wang Anfeng rode at the front, his wooden sword still strapped to his back; however, the Broad Sword he had obtained from the Qingfeng Edge was simply hanging on one side of the saddle. Its scabbard swayed slightly with the horse's gait, ready for unsheathing at a moment's notice in case of sudden danger.
