The next morning, the commander is injured in battle. He tells the group that he had to go to the rescue of the princess because he could not stand idly by and watch as his wife was captured by the southern garrison. He entrusted the command to his wife and the two of them went to rescue her. The commander says that even though he was honest in his intentions, he cannot be blamed for his actions because he is a member of the family. He says that he will be punished by the authorities according to the rules of Dongchang. He asks the group to change the black warriors' symbol to turtle and snake.
