At this moment, Ye Shikai was still uncertain whether the news of their rebellion against the court had reached Nanyang County. If it hadn't, then the troops could still move 'openly' within Nanyang County as long as the local garrison was unaware of this news, and Ye Shikai and his men would still be considered 'Qin Army.'
But if the local government had already learned of the news, then they would have to continue 'deceptively.' Wan Qi Yuan was a very capable individual and acted decisively; if an emergency arose, he could handle it promptly.
