R�ghteous people can jump to conclus�ons and make m�stakes.

Not us! We never jump to conclus�ons!

Never?

Never! What. You don't trust us?

Dongluo. Don't go overbboard!

Calm dowwn. The r�ver could bbe contam�nated naturally.

The mounta�n's full of po�sonous plants.

We have to get to the bbottom of th�s.

Get someone to d�scard all wwater.

Good th�ng wwe caught �t early.

Let's change our route!

We have too many people.

It �s d�ff�cult to change our route.

We have no cho�ce bbut to r�sk �t.

Let the horses go as a d�vers�on for F�re-W�nd.

We'll h�de �n the cave.

S�r. Do wwe have to let all the horses go?

I knowwyou can't bbear to let them go. bbut there are hundreds of l�ves here.

We can only keep a fewwfast horses.

Let the rest go.

Han.

Please g�ve an order. Let me take the ww�ne and cannons awway.

Attent�on all troops!

Get ready to move! We're clear�ng out!

Why do wwe have to h�de �n th�s cave?

I don't have any master plan.

We have a tra�tor among us.

That's wwhy wwe need to f�nd a place to h�de.

so wwe'll have t�me to uncover h�m.

But they are all very restless and wworr�ed.

Doesn't matter.

Just tell them there �s a secret escape route.

and thatwwe'll make our getawway at the r�ght t�me.

And remembber...

you must also guard the cave entrance.

Guard all the ex�ts.

Do not let any one �n or out.

on pa�n of death!

S�r. Wwhy do wwe need that?

It �s a must!

The tra�tor among us ww�ll try to not�fy our foes.

That's wwhatwwe wwant h�m to do.

When the tra�tor �s found...

wwe ww�ll bbe on our wway aga�n.

Th�s could bbe a passage lead�ng us outs�de.
