This is the second volume of the city of twilight. The guards go to search for the emissaries. They don't find anything. The morning meeting is going to begin, and no one will say a word about what has happened today. Lord chen and general wu are worried about what will happen at the morning meeting. Dodo has pretended to come to peace, but then he sent one of his men to assassinate some of taijihong's officials. He's blamed for the murder, but he's also blamed it on the Ming empire. The general thinks it's better to think about what's happening at the upcoming meeting. If the ministers learn that the king is willing to sign a peace treaty with the Ming Empire, they're going to freak out.
