Half a month into the desert, they encountered a strange troop.
From a distance, Tu Ya and Hulan immediately ducked their heads like thieves and used the cloaks and scarves borrowed from Dong Huiying to hide their faces, as if they were afraid of being recognized by the other party.
Dong Huiying sat on a camel, gazing intently at the troop, whose leader held high a flag emblazoned with a fierce animal totem that was very familiar to her.
She remembered the now deceased Nu Woer.
When she was in the Golden Triangle, she had seen Nu Woer's confidants wearing a similar badge.
After the troop passed by in the distance, Dong Huiying cast a fleeting glance at Tu Ya.
"Do you recognize those people?"
Tu Ya turned her head away, not very eager to answer.
