Wenchang is angry. How can Baozi place himself at the mercy of the she-devil just like that? He cannot let the man do this. It is only because of him that they are here at all! He takes a step forward, but then the bandit reveals herself and speaks calmly with the scholar.
Wenchang halts, looking at her. Wait, why did she laugh just now? Did she look at him? He opens his mouth to argue... something, when the woman suddenly descends, along with his friend. It seems to be a done deal.
"Baozi - thank you. I swear you will be released soon," Wenchang tries to apologise as they get near, but again he is distracted as the Bull doesn't stop but walks straight ahead. He turns to see her reach his men and speak to them in a familiar manner. What...? But of course, Luo and Jou are from this area... as are many of the others in the company, he remembers.
Baozi isn't the only one in danger if things don't go well, Wenchang realises with a start. All because of his obsession with revenge. What has he done?
There is only one thing to do then. He needs to see this to the end. Catch Liang Ju, no longer only for his brother's sake. His soldiers have followed him here without question. He
will keep their families safe. But first things first.
Wenchang walks over to the cavalry as well. Beauty be damned, he will not let her continue with this open threat. He barks out an order, and the two men are only too happy to leave to fulfil it. He looks steadily at the Bull.
"You have made your point clear, I think. So, let us turn our minds to the business at hand, yes?"
