Jinwu said excitedly, "Khan, it's one of our own."
The two teams quickly converged at one spot.
Torches were lit.
Several burning torches illuminated each other's faces.
The faces of Yelu Yan and the guards were all tinged with a bronze hue.
Bater dismounted and knelt on the ground, his face beaming with joy, "Reporting to Khan, I have found the Queen."
In fact, as Bater was speaking, Yelu Yan had already galloped up to the carriage.
The ease with which she had been found made him reluctant to believe it readily.
Upon reaching the carriage, Yelu Yan dismounted and personally opened the carriage door.
Inside the carriage, lanterns were lit, and in the dim light, a delicate woman sat upright in the carriage.
Yelu Yan took one glance at her before drawing his longsword and pointing it at her, demanding angrily, "Who are you?"
Everyone present was stunned—this was clearly the Queen. Why would the Khan point a sword at her, and ask who she was?
