In the middle of the night, Lingyan tells the envoy that he knows the king is looking for his family, but he doesn't know how to find out. Lingyan asks the envoy if he has some kind of "death wish" , and the envoy tells him not to leave his carriage. The envoy tells Lingyan that if he hadn't showed up, he would have killed the king and his family. The king hates Lingyan, and he wants to see his own people, who he loves very much. He wants to kill Lingyan if he dares, but Lingyan won't let him. He tells him that the wolves are roaming around behind the lines, and that he's going to call off all the lookouts tonight.
