Four swift horses galloped along the official road from Emei to Jiading. The first sturdy horse carried a man in his forties, dressed in a blue robe, with a long beard hanging to his chest and a long sword hanging from his saddle. On the second swift horse rode a middle-aged woman with delicate features and graceful bearing. The third horse carried a boy of fourteen or fifteen, dressed for travel, with sharp brows and bright eyes. He was exceptionally handsome, and a long sword was strapped to his back.
