Huang An, through his actions, demonstrated his intent to kill the members of the Li family.
Hence, when he personally led his men to detain the criminals from the Li family at a specific location, the people, though they didn't disperse, made way when they needed to.
Moreover, Huang An, while finding the time, arranged for the guards who were maintaining order previously to bring the populace to predetermined positions.
Huang An seized the opportunity to quickly drink two large cups of honey water to soothe his throat, which was no longer distressed like before.
In passing, he also tended to the blood on his face in a simple manner.
Following that, Huang An spent two minutes making arrangements.
By the time he, Lord Zhao, and Luo Feiyao returned to their seats, everything was almost ready.
