Two were snowy in complexion and all four were straddled by men also dressed in white. They approached the inn and the riders drew their mounts to a halt. Guo Jing noticed the finely embroidered cushions padding the saddles. Guo Jing was a child of the steppes deserts, but white camels were rare, and he had never seen such fine animals. He could not take his eyes off them. The riders were only a few years older than him, in their early twenties he guessed, each one as delicately handsome as the last. They leaped from the camels and made for the inn. Guo Jing was enraptured by their expensive robes, fringed at the neck by the finest fox fur. One of the young men glanced toward Guo Jing, blushed and lowered his head. Another glared at him and growled, “What are you staring at, little boy?” Flustered, Guo Jing looked away. He heard them laugh. “Congratulations,” one of them mocked in a girlish voice. “He likes you.”

Deu a cada um uma seta e pediu-lhes que a partissem, o que eles fizeram com facilidade. Depois, amarrou cinco setas juntas e pediu-lhes que as partissem. Todos os seus filhos tentaram, mas nenhum conseguiu. Lembras-te do que ela lhes disse?
- Se estiverem sozinhos, cada um de vós será vencido com tanta facilidade como partiram essa seta - respondeu Jamuka, baixinho. - Mas, unidos, nada nem ninguém vos conseguirá quebrar.”
