In this chapter, we learn that the three elders of the yan army have been badly wounded. They're still fighting, but they're not as strong as they used to be. The yan leader tells the elders that he's going to send them back to the army, where they'll be able to train even harder. The elders laugh at the idea that they might be afraid of the leader, but the leader says that he won't allow them to touch his people without his permission. He's not going to allow anyone to touch him without permission, he says. He wants to kill the goose, but he can't, because the goose is too fast for him. The leader asks the woman if she's willing to help him, and she says yes.
