After setting the plan, a few men immediately set off on horseback.
Along the way, seeing these strangers, the local people either bowed their heads to avoid eye contact or stared suspiciously, with unfriendly expressions.
The turmoil caused by the Headless Knight was clearly significant.
Upon reaching the city gate, the group was stopped again, but when Li Yan produced a black Daoist certificate, the soldiers immediately turned respectful, even offering to guide them.
After politely declining, they entered the city.
Dangyang County, though a historically noted county town, was not large, having been rebuilt several times after several wars.
Being inland without a ferry port, its commerce was not flourishing.
After making some inquiries, the group headed for the largest inn in the town, planning to settle in before doing anything else.
However, just at the entrance of the inn, they were stopped.
"Please halt!"
