Brother Sun and Murong Ji's gambling wager had spread throughout Hangzhou City within just a few days.
To ensure fairness, the two agreed: Murong Ji would determine the nature of the wager, and Brother Sun would arrange the time and location.

There's a saying that story-tellers rely on their mouths and opera singers on their legs—it's here before you know it.
In the blink of an eye, the day of their duel arrived.
That afternoon, the weather was calm and sunny.
As scheduled, Murong Ji and Liu Ming boarded a pleasure boat on West Lake.
