The brigand and his lady-in-waiting discuss the situation in Suoyang Pass. The xirong troops are attacking, and the smoke from the smoke bombs is catching them off guard. They need to find a way to defend the family, and they need the troop under General Feng's command to do so. They also need the recipe for the smoke bomb to make it. The battle is coming up, and it's time for the battle to be fought, so they need General Feng to command the troops. The story of the battle goes something like this: In 1778, the xi-rong troops invaded, and zhi-wang yue killed his father, who was then promoted to general. The next year, the troops invaded again, and daoyan-guo killed his son, who is now a prime minister. The two men decided to beat the troops on their own, and so they've arrested the son, the daughter, and even the princess of the enemy, who's actually the daughter of the emperor's wife.
