The next morning, Poins wakes up in the middle of the night. He's not sure what he's going to do next. Poins tells his servant that he has a plan. He wants Poins to kill the Mingjian king, but Poins doesn't want to do it, because he thinks he and Poins are going to get married soon. He tells Poins that if he hadn't gone to the capital market, they would have gotten married a long time ago. He also tells him that Poins' mother was able to stay in the room with him, which means that she trusts Poins. He asks Poins if he ever saw a caravan of men passing by, and he says that he did, because there was a "handsome looking gentleman inside." Poins asks if he should tell Poins what's up, and the servant says that they have been gone for half a day. He gives Poins some money, which Poins is going to give to Poins for his injuries.
