Did you get a good look at those two?" he asked in a low
voice.
"Were they bandits?" she replied excitedly. She would have
liked nothing better than for them to be outlaws bent on
robbery, giving her a chance to display the skills she had
worked so hard to attain over the past five years.
"It's hard to say," said Lu. "But judging by their ability in
the martial arts, they wouldn't be ordinary highwaymen."
"Are they kung fu masters?"
"From the way they ride their horses, I'd say it's unlikely
they are novices."
As the entourage neared the town, two more horsemen galloped
past.
"Mm, this is very strange," mused Lu. The country was desolate
and the evening mist was thickening. He wondered why anyone
would set out on a journey at this time of day.
Not long after, the muletrain entered the town. Officer Deng
led them to a large inn and Yuanzhi and her mother were shown
to one of the best rooms. Lu was given a smaller room, and
after he had eaten dinner, a servant lit the lantern. All was
quiet, and he was about to go to sleep when a dog barked. From
far away he heard the faint sound of galloping horses
approaching and he thought again about the four riders they
had passed on the road.
The clip-clop of horses' hooves came closer and stopped right
in front of the inn. There was a knock on the front door and
Lu heard a servant open it and say: "You've been riding hard.
There's food and drink prepared for you."
"Go and feed the horses quickly," said a rough voice. "We must
start out again as soon as we've finished eating."
Lu considered the situation. Groups of men hurrying northwest,
and judging by the way they rode, all of them experts in the
martial arts. In all his years in the border areas, he had
never seen the like of it. He slipped quietly out of his room,
crossed the courtyard and went round to the back of the inn.
"All right, you say the Young Helmsman is very young," he
heard the rough-voiced man say. "Do you think he will be able
to control all the brothers?"
Lu followed the voice and stationed himself underneath the
window.
"He'll have to," he heard the other say. "It was the old
master's wish whether the Young Helmsman likes it or not."
The man had a deep, sonorous voice, and Lu could tell his
Internal Strength was profound. Not daring to make a hole in
the window paper to peep through, he continued to listen from
where he was, breathing as lightly as he could.
