Song Yunyang and Gu Siyao quickly led out their horses, mounted them, and galloped away, the sound of their hooves ringing out crisply in the quiet of the morning.
They sped along the road back to Da Yan, the wind whistling past their ears.

Those men were all burly and agile, walking with a powerful stride, clearly seasoned veterans.
