"Zheng Haoran!"
...
In the canyon.
Zheng Haoran and Zheng Xiu, side-by-side on horseback, held their breath almost in unison as they stared toward the end of the canyon.
In that instant, it felt as if a current had shot through his entire body, making the hairs on Zheng Xiu's arms stand on end and his scalp tingle.
'There seems to be something over there.'
A moment later, Zheng Xiu lowered his head and followed silently beside Zheng Haoran, deep in thought.
Zheng Haoran quickly made a few hand signals to the twenty-some other experts in their retinue. They all nodded silently in understanding.
Zheng Xiu had a realization. 'So Dad likes using secret signals too, huh.'
Zheng Haoran beckoned to Zheng Xiu. As Zheng Xiu came closer, Zheng Haoran said in a low voice, "Our only mission is to lure the enemy. If things look bad, we retreat back into the canyon immediately."
Zheng Xiu nodded.
