In this short scene, the demon king tells the rider to go to his stables and pick a horse that he likes. He tells him that he will not take advantage of the rider. The rider asks why the black horse is so skinny, and the king explains that the three local horses are stronger than the black one. He says that the rider wants to gain an "lipper hand" in the fight, but that there is a "price to pay" for choosing the wrong horse. He then tells the riders to place their bets on him. He explains that he is the master of the horses and that he holds a competition for all the ladies and gentlemen. He invites them to watch the fight and bets everything he has on his master. He asks the rider if he thinks the rider will win, and he says that he does not think he will, because the rider is not riding his horse. Then the rider, who is called "Swish" by the king, tells him to bet on him to win, because he has no money left. The king then tells his followers to stand to his right and stand to the left for those who support his master of horses. He gives them ten taels, or gold, and tells them to stand for five taels each. He also tells them that they should stand for two points, because gong-mingji is defending only once. He calls for his opponent to throw the fight over with him, saying that he cannot wait to meet him.
