In this brief scene, the "changpan warrior" blames the loss of one of his men on the failure of the conspiracy. He laments the fact that he has a pin-head guard in the room, and wonders why the two men have to lose a man of their strength. He asks why they have to risk their lives for the sake of a plan that failed. The two men agree that it is bad enough that one of them has died, but they do not want to end up like the other two. The man asks if he knows the whereabouts of the other man, and the man replies that he does not. He then asks if the man who killed him is the same man who has killed yun-pizhi. He tells the men that the body of the dead man has been retrieved, and he will never see chenyuan again. He hopes that one day, the truth will come out and everyone will know the truth.
