The general sighed. He looked back to the wooden soldiers and shook his head murmuring: “The wise are always alone.”
When he finished, he sighed again.

The general knitted his brow.
A gust of wind at this time blew a flying lantern to him.
He stared at it and suddenly paled, anxiously yelling: “Shoot it down!”
Seeing his soldiers standing there looking at him in puzzlement, he shouted: “There’s a Hu script on it!”
