Nangong Zhan took the items with a solemn expression, packed some provisions, and spurred his horse towards Qingyang County at full speed.

Three days later, Nangong Zhan arrived at the Qingyang County Yamen, presented his credentials, and smoothly met with County Magistrate Yang Yunlong.

Upon understanding Nangong Zhan's purpose, Yang Yunlong dared not show any negligence. He immediately ordered the yamen runners to prepare three spacious carriages, ample provisions, and guards, heading straight for Green Creek Village.

Nangong Zhan hadn't expected Yang Yunlong to be so cooperative, saving him a lot of effort.
