On the official road, about eighty kilometers from Xianggu County, accompanied by the sound of galloping hooves, two black dots appeared on the distant undulating hills.
Yu Lieting and Xiao Nan, each riding a fast horse, set out from Jiuchong County before dawn, rushed along side roads, finally arriving at the location appointed on the secret order from the hall.
After rushing down the hill and traveling a bit further, Yu Lieting suddenly reined in his horse and stopped. He turned to look at Xiao Nan, who had stopped beside him, and said, "Twelve miles west of Funiu Mountain, in the wilderness on the south side. Xiao Nan, is this the place?"
Xiao Nan held his horse, its nostrils panting heavily, shaking constantly, as he surveyed the dense, tall wilderness beside the official road, saying, "Squad Leader, that's right! It's here!"
"Let's go! Let's check it out." Yu Lieting dismounted, led the horse off the official road, and entered the wilderness on the south side.
