The Governor's mansion was located in the very center of Hanshui City, a node of power in the Wild State. The mansion had seven entrances and seven exits, and was protected inside and out by defensive array methods.
This place served not only as the residence of the Governor but also as his office. When Lu Yang was shuttling through the mansion, he saw a lot of officials with a hustling look, flying around carrying documents, very busy.
This was not figurative speed, but literal flight.
Before meeting the Governor of the Wild State, Lord An had reported the situation to the Governor. Once the Governor met Qiu Jin'an and the others, he greeted them warmly with a handshake.
As Lord An had to go arrange a city-wide search for the real Master Mong Tian, he excused himself first.
