After leaving Togon and Ri to talk, he goes to the wall and prepares his position. He just remains there to wait until they are there.
At the arrival of the savages, with other archers, they shoot against them and he targets one in particular to make sure he doesn't hit vital points.
The savages soon retreats, this time in more hurry since archers were shooting.
As they leave, Tal Tal opens the gate and walks out, approaching the corpses. He finds the one he targeted and touches his neck. It still beats but he cannot move, it worked.
He picks him up and walks back to the camp after removing the poisoned necklace and giving him the antidote.
He ties him up on a chair near the middle campfire. The savage wears a mask and an oversized armor, he looks very confused and stunned due to poison.

Spoiled brat, no better words define this 30 years old PaOh, living with his, by now, family, the Feng. Thanks to the connection, he managed to achieve a good job in the army. He is just back from the field where he got the promotion to Commander.

Now that he returned, after the visit to his family, he goes out to have fun. Where someone like him could have fun if not a brothel. He is heading there right now, still on the way, walking very proudly.

While Haru and the Shinobi are in the North to help Jeremi get the throne, he had to move to the Imperial Palace, like the hostage for the hostage, before taking his role as bodyguard of the hostage.
The first thing he tried to do was to see Sammaekjong; finding out what he went through, because of Jaengshijong, destroyed him for good, he even cried for a while. He wasn't allowed to even walk past the gate of the Northern Quarters. 'By Feng Taesukjong's will, Hu PaOh and Feng Jaengshijong are forbidden to approach either him or Sammaekjong. Jeonha confirmed the order.' The only message from Tae to them was 'you were given the chance to choose and chose them, rather than us. From now on, I will take care of Sammaekjong, alone. Us two are the Feng brothers, you are the Shinobi traitors.'

Depressed to the bone, he decides to let it pass some time before trying to approach Taesukjong, guessing it would do no good to force a meeting with him.
Meanwhile, probably out of an involuntary masochism, he aims to try to meet HyunKi. Maybe he, who is a bit older, will show some more understanding but he doesn't have high hopes.
Jaengshijong did what he did out of fear his daughters would get exterminated with all the Shinobi, had he helped the Emperor find Shiixia, but he, what excuse does he have? That he actually likes a girl who is scandalously younger than him, despite he tried to deny it even to himself. He turned his back on his family for a girl and he knows they won't forgive him for that.

Anyhow, crushed and shattered, he sends an eunuch to ask HyunKi to meet him, in the inn close to the Imperial Palace, where he headed right after being denied to see the boys.
He is sat alone by a table and has already emptied a few bottles of sake.

As it happens to him whenever a woman looks so cold and uninterested towards him, something snaps and he starts to feel like obsessed. He has no idea nor suspect on who Cold Moon could be, he is convinced it's an adult woman from some tribe, certainly not an Imperial. That too made him even more interested. A 100% wild woman, so confident and brutal... he must court her.

Since he wants to do it well, he decides to ask HyunKi to help him out. He can't go to look for her in the Forests, he can only write to her and hope she can actually read their language. Or, alternatively, hope that HyunKi's mother taught him the language of the tribes and that he can write it.
Anyhow, he invites his son to a tavern in Shiirhuang.
He is already there, with the wooden box containing the dress he bought for Cold Moon, paper and ink.

After being rescued by HyunKi, he and the boys get teleported back to Shiirhuang, but from there on, due to the magic protections, they have to proceed towards the Imperial Palace on foot and horseback.
Despite being covered in deep and worrying wounds, PaOh wakes up from his state of unconsciousness pretty early, as soon as his body managed to gather some energy again. He is very resilient. When he opens his eyes, his view is extremely blurry and confused, his head feels totally empty and it takes him several minutes to remember and realize what is currenly happening.
He is lied on a horse, that is being led towards the Palace, pulled from the reins.
Bokho, Fei, who still didn't wake up, and WooJin are each on a horse as well, followed on foot by DaeJung. The horses and the people are surrounded by the men who followed HyunKi in the searching mission, forming a 'procession' moving through the Capital at a fast pace.

PaOh tries to rise his head a little, narrowing his eyes to try to focus better. There is much he would like to say and do, but knows he will at most be able to say a sentence or two, before passing out again or just dying, he can't tell for sure. He is aware of his state. He moves his gaze at the people who are closest to him, hoping to manage to speak to HyunKi.

Bokho is in terrible pain and is starting to fear he could lose his leg. He is conscious and awake though, just feeling dizzy due to pain. He is much more worried for WooJin though, seeing he got many wounds and, again, risked to die because of him.

Sao and Yichuan were already warned about it, so they are waiting for the arrival of the boys inside the Imperial Palace, where everything has already been set to take care of their health.
