"We've invited a few more experts; with them in charge, as long as the Blessing Guests do as I say tonight, I can guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
"You three will pilot the boat ahead, clearing the path for the main ship—one in front, one to the left, and one to the right, heading toward the center of the lake. Shi Fukui's task is much simpler, you only need to look after the Young Lady inside the cabin."
"The experts have calculated that tonight's affair should take roughly the time of five incense sticks to conclude. To remind you of the time, we are preparing five sets of drums onshore."
"Upon hearing the first round of drumming, you'll set off; the second drumming means you've reached your position and can stop the boat; the third is to mark the time and also to remind you to absolutely avoid approaching the main ship. If everything goes according to plan, Xi Yao will appear on the main ship at that time."
