The scene opens with Dodo and his wife getting together at night, and Dodo is shocked to find that his wife is so aggressive. He tells his wife that she is smart, but he cannot just give her a "millitary exploit" for nothing. He says that if she calls him his "good husband," a hundred times, and gives him a kiss, he will help her save the "zezhi idiot" . Dodo says that his master sent him here to greet him, and then he tells Dodo that he has important business to discuss. He explains that General Zhe agreed to write to persuade General Dashou zu who is stationed in Jinzhou to surrender, but that he had only one condition: he wanted to release his beloved one. If Dodo was willing to give up his loved one, his master said, he would offer him anything as compensation
