The daolin asks the minister if he works for the king, and the minister tells him that he does. The minister asks the king if they can get out of the horse-farm through which they can escape.

He says that they were also his people, and that the king's people were also the assassins. He asks if they are the same people as the assassins, and if they also want to help him escape. They are, and he tells the man that he knows that the assassins are his people. He then asks the man if he is willing to help the king deal with the assassins and take over power.
