After the Emperor received the military talisman from Su Weifang, he handed it to me, General Mao Zhen. Predicting that Qin Kun would surely take the water route, Mao Zhen waited for him at the tributary stream leading north from the county, planning to capture him when he arrived.
But who would know, Mao Zhen waited for half the day, yet there was no sight of Qin Kun.
Mao Zhen suddenly shouted, "We were tricked, Qin Kun didn't take the water route!"
Qin Kun originally planned to take the water route, but halfway there, a realization came to him: since the county's city gates were not opened, it meant that Su Weifang was no longer on his side. If Su Weifang wasn't aiding him, he would certainly not miss the opportunity to win favor in front of the Emperor, and he'd definitely send soldiers to ambush him.
