The ninth year of Great Xia, February 18
Southern Chui Mountain Town, late night
On the Bluestone Road within Jiangyan Realm, two in front and three behind, a total of five figures are rushing southward amidst the wind and snow, all carrying backpacks, breathing somewhat hurriedly, clearly having traveled for a long time.
The man on the left in the front row looks to be in his early thirties, wearing a white summer outfit, a longsword hanging at his waist, his brows handsome and eyes exuding a strong presence of leadership, clearly the leader;
The man on his right looks older, probably in his early forties, dressed in yellow summer clothes, holding a standard Knife, from the degree of his labored breathing, it is apparent his strength is below that of the leader;
The three following behind are all dressed in black, ages ranging from 30 to 40, despite their flushed faces and heavy breathing, they are striving to keep up with the two in front, evidently in a subordinate's posture.
