This chapter opens with a knock on the cellar door. It's the voice of qiuxing, who's up in the middle of a conversation with the pavilion master. He's worried about what's going to happen to him and his family if he doesn't get revenge for killing his brother. . The voice tells him that the king is hiding in his carriage and that the key to the ambush mechanism must have been brought with him. They'll arrive in the ambush area at the peak of Luoxiao hill the next day. The man in black asks suh-ching what his plan is after they defeat the northerners, and shu-ching says that he'll figure it out in the future after he kills the yao family and ends the Qing family's rule. ! .
