In the side hall, jing li tries to warn the guards, but they're too far away, so he's too weak to stop them. He's so weak, in fact, that he can't even defeat qiu, who's a higher rank warrior than he is. Worried that the guards will kill him if he tries to escape, he calls for help, but the guards won't let him in. Unsure of what's going on, qiu tries to convince him to stay, but qiu is too strong for him. Believing that qiu was trying to tell the guards something earlier, he runs after the guards and stabs himself in the shoulder. Confused, wui and qiu rush in and kill qiu. Furious, xi swears that he'll kill xi if he doesn't get out of the way. xi tells the guards that they have to find xi and kill him right away. .
