In the middle of the night, Wuxian and his sister-in-law, Lingzi, wake up to find that the whole town is talking about feng cang's betrayal. Lingzi is furious, claiming that everyone is accusing him of being a traitor. He says that if he hadn't listened to Lingzi's advice, they wouldn't be in such a bad situation. He also says that his father, a former general, was a spy for the tianlang and a traitor to his country. He tells Lingzi that he's determined to eat the chicken from the chicken market that day. He and his brothers snuck out of the camp one day to find a restaurant where they could have a drink. Behind them, they saw a group of merchants from tianqi, and Lingzi didn't notice them until he heard them say something.
