Master Hu’s eyes widened blankly, filled with confusion.
Seeing the puzzled expression of the Jibei King, Master Hu was startled. He quickly adjusted his demeanor and declared with unwavering conviction, “What is the King hesitating for? A true emperor needs no guidance from omens! The only word you need to remember is kill! That’s it!”

The Jibei King’s face flushed with excitement. “Master, you are absolutely right! I am the Son of Heaven. Why should the Son of Heaven seek advice from the spirits?”
Turning on his heel, he began making arrangements for the uprising.
As soon as he left, Master Hu wasted no time. He quickly dragged a bundle out from under his bed, revealing it to be full of gold and silver leaves. Over the years, the Jibei King had rewarded him handsomely, and he had exchanged those rewards for gold and silver, which he then hammered into leaf form for easy transport.
“Time to go! Staying here any longer is asking for trouble!”
Leaving behind a farewell letter, he tossed his belongings over the wall. Then he pushed aside a loose brick at the base of the wall, revealing a small tunnel. Crawling on his hands and knees, he began to squeeze through.
