We have repaid Minister Dong with blood over the past decade; our debt of gratitude is settled. But to you, I've always been in debt. When I surrendered to Lord Xuande, I made it clear that I wouldn't partake in any battle against Minister Dong, hoping that Lord Xuande would allow me to call back old friends." Hua Xiong knelt halfway on the ground and solemnly said, "Fortunately, our lord took pity and granted my request. If you leave, I will treat you with the courtesy due to the head of the household. Chen Zichuan's orders do not bind me much."
