Summary[]
After leaving Ri Boku's tent, Kaine is confused and embarrassed at what she did, crying her heart out on his back. She stumbled in midst of her dilemma, also in time for Shun Sui Ju, Ba Nan Ji, Fu Tei to arrive.
The next day, they discuss their future moves. Shun Sui Ju suggest three options: Surrender and be immediately executed, continue fleeing, or besiege Kantan, eliminate both Sen, Kaku Kai, and their faction and install Ri Boku as the king of Zhao. Ri Boku angrily dismisses and doesn't even consider the 3rd option. Shun Sui Ju apologizes. Ri Boku decides to lay low away from the radar of Central Zhao. Ba Nan Ji times Kaku Kai's idiocy to lasting one year. Ri Boku will go to Shi Ba Shou's city of Seika. Ba Nan Ji deduces that Ri Boku intends to return to Kantan with more power than before.
And the scenario shifts from Ri Boku to the frontlines. Kaku Kai's plans involving not only fortifying the front but also establishing strongholds in two Zhao cities next to Kantan, all thanks to Ri Boku's plans, which he stole.
And the story shifts back to Kanyou, where the court discusses the situation when Shi Shi arrived. Ei Sei asks him about what is on his mind. And that involved Ryo Fui, so that is why they did not include Ri Shi and Shou Hei Kun. Ryo Fui's actions in Kanan were suspicious, such as gathering former Ai loyalists, people who not sided with any faction, the late Ketsu Shi loyalists, and some Royal Harem faction members, and calling them together to go to Kanan. Shi Shi has one solution to the problem: Assassinate Ryo Fui.
