"Xiahou Juan greets General Zhang~" The young woman slightly bowed in salute.
Zhang Fei felt a heaviness in his chest. He hadn't raised any banners identifying himself, yet the other party recognized him. He was caught off guard and even more surprised that a young woman traveling alone could so calmly offer manners of etiquette after being rescued.
"General need not overthink it. Originally, my servants and maids were traveling with me, but we were surrounded by a large band of robbers. The other guards held them off while five guards escorted me away. Unfortunately, we encountered another group of bandits here, but fortunately, the General came to the rescue," Xiahou Juan explained, half clarifying upon noticing Zhang Fei's furrowed brows.
While they spoke, a large group of privately armed soldiers clad in leather armor appeared in haste. Among them were figures exuding intense killing intent, clearly identifiable as experienced military officers and even elite warriors.
