In this chapter, we learn that the fox king has been captured by the zhou emperor. The king explains that he captured the king because he was injured in the fight with the feudal lords and because he wanted to offer him as a gift to the new zhou dynasty. The fox king is an npc, which means that he has lost consciousness and cannot remember what he was doing. This is why the king wants to kill him immediately. He wants to use the fox as a sign of his ascendency to the throne of heaven. If he uses the fox, he will be able to prolong his reign in heaven. He plans to cut off the fox's head, hands, and feet.
