"Sir, we must show the people of Great Zhou a thing or two." The one who spoke was someone who had earlier attempted to shoot down a bird in flight to intimidate the people of Great Zhou. His name was Yitu, the Thousand Riders Commander.
"Before you show the people of Great Zhou anything, they might just kill us first and wouldn't fear us at all." The speaker was a man with fair skin, a fresh appearance, and a lean build. His name was Wuwei, and he belonged to the Left Virtuous King's faction. "I feel that on this visit to Great Zhou, there is more danger than luck; it might be very difficult for us to return."
"Dare they!" Yitu's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said with an angry and brutish face, "I'll kill them all first!"
