Publisher's Synopsis
If you want a secret to stay secret, then you have to let everyone who hears it die. There are only 31 of the 50 Iron Horsemen that Master Iron brought with him. "Only the dead can keep a secret." That's the famous saying of Master Iron. It was a very true and wise saying. Everyone understood that their boss meant them to die. Except for the twenty-seven sergeants who were going to snipe the enemy from their hiding places on the day of the duel, everyone else had to die. No one wants to die, but they have no choice but to die. Why are there still 31 people alive? Are Master Tie's orders no longer as effective as they once were? The Silkmen who are going to ambush them for the decisive day of the battle will have to choose 27 of the 29 men. The choice is still up in the air, so the 29 are still alive. What about the other two?
