The next morning, the two men discuss the situation. The general is worried that the man who looks just like him will be killed. The two men decide that the best thing to do is not to take any action against the man, but to spend the night with him. The General tells the man that he looks like the man he killed, and the man says that he is just a replacement for the dead man. He says that the General will always be his master, and that he will serve the General for life. When the General asks why he has to punish the servant, the General replies that he does not think it is proper to punish a minor official in front of a daxie ambassador. He tells the servant that he believes that the Emperor knows which of the two is more important, the friendship between the two, or the relationship between them. The servant tells the General that the wound is not serious, but the General tells him to take care of the wound and not to worry about him.
