"Lord Richard, since His Highness has permitted you, I have nothing more to say!" The black-bearded General said solemnly through the interpreter, "Now, I need your army to clear the road immediately! This is the territory of our Tang Zang, and our army should pass unimpeded! From now on, I will take full control of the underground palace of the Seven Treasures Pagoda. When His Highness the prince arrives later, we will continue to resolve the remaining issues!"
Richard glanced back and saw that General Pan had already led the panda warriors out of the underground palace, so he felt assured and readily agreed to the black-bearded General's request.
Both parties got what they wanted; the Summer Palace's guard retreated to the other side of the Seven Treasures Pagoda, relinquishing the underground palace to the Tang Zang army. In return, although the Tang Zang soldiers surrounded the Summer Palace guard from all sides, their weapons were sheathed, no longer as aggressive as before.
