The scene opens with a soliloquy by the young general, who tells the audience that he has left his family to marry the lecherous Miss Su. He tells her that he will not allow anyone like her to hurt him, and that she should talk to the lord about breaking off their engagement, otherwise that's the right thing to do. He says that he won't give him to Miss Su, even if he risked his life to save her and her brother. The general says that his friend, the jingji, hates him so much that he's not even in his heart. He also says that the jinji's friend is already in the capital, preparing for the day when they're going to have to kill him and his family. He explains that he led an army a month ago to chase down a hundred thousand huns in the desert. He's waiting for Miss Su to come back with him. The ugly masks are going to be sold out, he says, because Miss Su is a girl who catches men like demons. He adds that the general who refuses to wear the ugly masks is an example of a general who doesn't know what's going on in the city. The young general welcomes his return to the capital with open arms, saying that he is ready to have a child and that his family is urging him to do so. He asks Miss Su if she's all right when he meets her again, and she says that she brought her men into the house to rob men. He wants to know where the general is, and he finally finds him. He
