b1) Well, whatever.
b2) The real problem, Wenjun Chang, is dead.
b3) That man was a real threat to me.
b4) He easily slipped right through the defense line I set up and got outside the castle walls.
b5) He even prepared a body double of the king.
b6) Because of him, I nearly ended up losing everything that night.
b7) He's a man that was well known on the battlefield,
b8) we should've been more wary of him.
b9) So, who on earth was the one that got him?
b0) That man.

b1) General Wang Ji!
b2) That Wang, he knew we were going to mess things up, so he had his men waiting outside for an ambush.
b3) Does that mean that Qin's dinosaur is on our side?

b1) He had absolutely no interest whatsoever in the fights for political power up to now, so why would he bother now of all times?
b2) Land.
b3) Excuse me?
b4) His condition for taking our side was to gain all Wenjun's land.
b5) Wenjun's land?
b6) If all it takes to get that man on our side is a little parcel of land, I made a killer deal.
b7) No one knows much of the general,
b8) if you put too much faith in him, you'll end up in a world of pain.
b9) "A world of pain"... hpmh,

b1) Do you truly think you're in a position to worry about others?
b2) Leave the king to me.
b3) I have an assassin with a good nose after him.
b4) I heard the 'vicious scarlet' assassin you sent after him was killed.
b5) I hope you'll do a better job this time around.
b6) There's nothing to worry about, the one that's after him is Muta.
b7) You mean that savage hunter?
b8) hmph,
b9) I almost feel sorry for the king.

b5) Piggy-back?
b6) AFTER YOU LOST CONSCIOUSNESS, THE KING CARRIED YOU ON HIS BACK ALL THE WAY HERE! IT'S BEEN 1 NIGHT AND HALF A DAY!!

b8) Are you serious!?
b9) ah.
b0) Let's go.

b2) There isn't anyone who knows about it, because it was a summer getaway made by Qin's king 400 years ago.
b3) He made a summer getaway this deep in the mountains? What a benevolent king.
b4) It's... // It's not like I'm tired or anything, but...
b5) When the hell will we actually get there!? // Didn't you say it was close?

page 16

b1) HEY!
b2) You know, I think he's lost.
b3) huh?
b4) Just think about it, a king that was raised in the palace, // couldn't possible find his way around here without some kind of landmark.
