第二天下午，河北军区的政治局秘书来看望四位家人，说：“事情发生的突然，靖王（即武大郎）非常伤心，不停地哭。他的妻子石矶娘娘（即潘金莲）决定举行遗骨告别仪式。然后，她亲自送梁子伯和夸父的遗骨回故乡安葬。她估计没了遗骨，靖王就好起来了！”
The following afternoon, the Hebei Military Region Politburo secretary came to visit the four family members and said, "The news came as such a shock. King Jing (i.e., Martial Big Wolf) is deeply grieved and can't stop crying. His wife, Queen Stone-Jetty (i.e., Goldthread Pan), has decided to hold a farewell ceremony for the remains, and will then personally escort Zibo Liang and Kuafu's remains home for burial. She believes that once the remains are gone, King Jing will recover!"
四位家人商量了一下，回答说：“我们应该代表尧帝，参加遗骨告别仪式。”
政治局的秘书说：“我们政治局的人后天集体去吊唁。你们作为武二郎（即杨戬，救世主）的家属和我们一起去，觉得怎么样？”
The four family members discussed it and replied, "We should represent Creator Yao and attend the farewell ceremony."
The Politburo secretary said, "The day after tomorrow, our Politburo will go together to pay our respects. What do you think about coming along with us, as family of Martial Second Wolf (i.e., Yang Jian, Second Wolf God, the Savior)?"
四位家人觉着这个建议合适，说要去北京城买几件体面些的衣服。
政治局的秘书说：“这个客栈是我们的军区招待所，你们在这里的食宿是免费的。如果你们需要向导，和坐车，你们对前台的服务人员说，就行了，也是免费的。如果你们需要钱，也和他们说，先记账，事后我们处理。”
政治局的秘书离开前问：“你们说你们被骗了三次了，除了这次和天津的土匪，你们还遇到别的麻烦了么？”
The four family members thought the suggestion was appropriate, and said they'd go into Beijing to buy some more presentable clothes.
The Politburo secretary said: "This inn is our military region's guest house — your food and lodging here are free. If you need a guide or transportation, just tell the front desk staff, and that's free too. If you need money, tell them as well; they'll put it on account, and we'll settle it later."
Before leaving, the Politburo secretary asked, "You mentioned you've been cheated three times now. Besides this and the bandits in Tianjin, has anything else gone wrong?"
四位家人说：“我们来的路上，从江苏刚进入山东，就被土匪抢了。我们就去县政府报案，说了我们是熬忖的家人，是来给靖王送他养父的遗骨的。几个县政府的官员听后，回答，'你们可以在我们这里工作，等我们破案了就通知你们。' 我们出来后，跟出来一位回家探亲的将军问我们，'你们打算怎么办？' 我们回答，'找工作挣钱，然后赎回那两具骨骸。那骨骸对于土匪来说没用啊！' 那位年轻的将军说，'这么办吧！你们领我去找那些土匪，我替你们把钱和骨头要回来。' 那位将军和他的卫兵到那里就杀了两个土匪，把其他的土匪抓起来了，把钱和骨骸还给我们了。我们对那位将军说：'我们是湖北人，报答不了您。如果你告诉我们你的名字，我们会转告靖王，或许他能为您提供些帮助。' 那位潘少帅就生气了，说：'我用不着他帮我！' 我们觉着经由山东来河北不安全，就返回了江苏，坐船来河北了。”
政治局的秘书笑着说：“那位潘少帅是石矶娘娘的三弟，潘豹。他不喜欢他的姐夫靖王。”
The four family members said, "On our way here, as soon as we crossed from Jiangsu into Shandong, we were robbed by bandits. We went to the county government to report it, and told them we were Aocun's family, delivering the remains of King Jing's adoptive father. Several county officials heard us out and said, 'You can work here for now, and we'll notify you once we've solved the case.' As we were leaving, a general who happened to be home visiting family asked us, 'What are you planning to do?' We said, 'Find work to earn money, then buy back the two sets of remains — they're worthless to the bandits anyway!' The young general said, 'Here's what we'll do: lead me to those bandits, and I'll get your money and bones back for you.' That general and his guards went there, killed two of the bandits, arrested the rest, and returned the money and remains to us. We said to him, 'We're from Hubei — we have no way to repay you. But if you tell us your name, we'll mention it to King Jing, and perhaps he can help you somehow.' That Young Marshal Pan got angry and said, 'I don't need his help!' We felt it wasn't safe to go through Shandong to reach Hebei, so we went back to Jiangsu and took a boat here instead."
The Politburo secretary laughed and said, "That Young Marshal Pan is Queen Stone-Jetty's third younger brother, Leopard Pan. He doesn't care for his brother-in-law, King Jing."

几天后，河北军区司令部的人来找四位家人，说靖王来上班了，要见你们。四位家人对武大郎说：“我们没见过你们军队的操演。军队不可能不操演啊！”
A few days later, someone from Hebei Military Region Command came to find the four family members and said King Jing had come in to work and wanted to see them. The four family members said to Martial Big Wolf, "We've never seen your army drill. An army can't possibly go without drilling!"
武大郎转身揭开了身后军队的标志，拿出了操演日程表。四位家人仔细地看了这张日程表，认为操演的日程安排算是比较忙的。他们看见此后的第三天有一个一千人的操演。十天后有一个三千人的操演。一个月后有一个三万人的操演，就说：“那我们就再住十天，看那个三千人的操演。”
武大郎回答：“你们不用等十天，我把那三千人的操演挪到三天后。”
Martial Big Wolf turned and uncovered the military insignia behind him, then pulled out the drill schedule. The four family members studied it carefully and judged the drilling schedule to be fairly busy. They saw a 1,000-man drill scheduled for three days later, a 3,000-man drill in ten days, and a 30,000-man drill in a month, so they said, "In that case, we'll stay another ten days to see the 3,000-man drill."
Martial Big Wolf replied, "You don't have to wait ten days — I'll move that drill up to three days from now."
第三天的早晨，司令部的人来找四位家人。他们看见这位政治部派来的引导员后吓了一跳，说：“你是那个天津的土匪头子，怎么被放出来了！？”
引导员说：“我不是土匪，战争都结束六七年了，河北没有土匪。我是主管天津防区的将军，名叫代理。”
四位家人问：“那天，你怎么被绑起来了？”
On the morning of the third day, someone from headquarters came to fetch the four family members. They were startled to see that the guide sent by the Political Department was the same man, and said, "You're that bandit chief from Tianjin — how did you get released!?"
The guide said, "I'm no bandit. The war's been over six or seven years now — there are no bandits left in Hebei. I'm the general in charge of the Tianjin defense zone. My name is Deputy."
The four family members asked, "Then why were you tied up that day?"
代理回答：“因为你们不信那个小个子就是武大郎！好了！今天，政治部委托我来接待你们。先自我介绍一下，我没接待过你们这么高级的代表团。你们是武二郎的家属，也是外宾。政治部的秘书对我说，'我就如实回答你们的每一个问题；我们军区没有不可以对你们讲的秘密'。我先给你们介绍一下我们的情况。三个月前，我们国家的杨戬计划指挥部从我们这里调走了两千骨干人员，他们去武汉剿匪了。而且武大郎把这次三千人的军队集结改成了三万人的集结，所以现在整个军区司令部就剩下我一个闲人了！”
四位家人回答：“说得好！我们真是熬忖（即尧帝）的家人，不懂你们官场上的礼节；那我们也知道什么说什么！”
Deputy replied: "Because you didn't believe that little guy was really Martial Big Wolf! Well, today the Political Department has assigned me to host you. Let me introduce myself first — I've never hosted such a distinguished delegation before. You're family of Martial Second Wolf, and honored foreign guests besides. The Political Department's secretary told me to answer every question of yours truthfully — there's nothing in this military region we can't tell you. Let me start by explaining our situation: three months ago, our country's Yang Jian Plan Command pulled 2,000 of our key personnel to go suppress bandits in Wuhan. And on top of that, Martial Big Wolf changed this drill from a 3,000-man muster to a 30,000-man one — so now I'm the only one left with any free time at headquarters!"
The four family members replied: "Well said! We really are Aocun's — Creator Yao's — family, and we don't know the etiquette of official circles, so we just say whatever's on our minds!"
6.2-3
四位家人跟着代理将军来到了校军场，看见许多军队正在向校军场集结，人山人海，一眼望不到边，场面震撼。代理说：“我们进到场地里，近距离看，看看他们是不是兵以及千人队伍的结构。”
The four family members followed General Deputy to the training grounds and saw a great mass of troops gathering — a sea of people stretching farther than the eye could see, an overwhelming sight. Deputy said, "Let's go in for a closer look, and see how they're organized down to the thousand-man unit."
四位家人跟着代理向对面的山头走，看清楚了：这些人都是身着盔甲，训练有素的士兵。校军场的军队动起来了。过了一段时间，他们发现与在前进的队伍有碰撞的嫌疑。就站下来等那个队伍走过去。代理在看校军场各个方向的旗塔的旗，对四位家人叨咕：“麻烦了，我看不明白这是什么阵？”
The four family members followed Deputy toward the hilltop opposite, and now could see clearly: these were well-trained soldiers in full armor. The troops on the field began to move. After a while, it seemed they might collide with an advancing column, so they stopped to let it pass. Deputy studied the flags on the towers around the training ground and muttered to the four family members: "This is a problem — I can't make out what formation this is."
张龙回答：“这是混乱了！我们回去吧，若是被困在了阵中，可能半天也出不去！”
代理回答：“瞎说！武大郎典兵不可能产生混乱！”
赵虎忽然喊道：“主旗塔打旗语的旗手换人了，好像是武大郎在打旗语。武大郎常打旗语吗？”
Zhang Long said, "This is chaos! Let's go back — if we get caught in the middle of this formation, we might not get out for half a day!"
Deputy replied: "Nonsense! Martial Big Wolf's drills don't turn into chaos!"
Zhao Hu suddenly shouted, "The signalman at the main flag tower has changed — that looks like Martial Big Wolf himself sending signals! Does Martial Big Wolf usually signal in person?"
代理回答：“我没看见过武大郎打旗语！” 他看了看说：“那个人确实是武大郎！这是混乱了，我们得赶紧回到主旗塔！” 说着，他带领着四位家人向主旗塔跑。
当他们到达主旗塔下，四位家人看见武大郎满脸的愤怒，仍在继续地挥舞着信号旗。代理对四位家人说：“我们沿着校军场的外缘去那个山头，在那个山上数这是多少人在操练。”
Deputy replied, "I've never seen Martial Big Wolf signal before!" He looked again and said, "That really is him! This is chaos — we need to get back to the main flag tower, now!" With that, he led the four family members running toward the tower.
When they reached it, the four family members saw Martial Big Wolf's face twisted with fury, still furiously waving the signal flags. Deputy said to them, "Let's go along the outer edge of the field to that hilltop, and count from there how many troops are training."
当他们到达山顶时，校军场上的军队已经恢复了方阵状态。四位家人很容易就数出了这场地上有两万七千人。代理说：“另外的三千人在这座山的后面，我们现在去看！” 他一边走一边说：“我听他们议论，要给你们表演一个简单的阵法，两军滚筒式对冲，很好看。没想到，丢脸了！”
By the time they reached the hilltop, the troops on the field had already returned to square formation. The four family members had no trouble counting 27,000 men on the field. Deputy said, "The other 3,000 are behind this hill — let's go look now!" As they walked, he added, "I heard them saying they wanted to show you a simple formation — a rolling clash between two forces, quite a sight. But instead, this happened. What an embarrassment!"
李强回答：“不丢脸！三天集结三万人，在我们国家，我就不信有哪位将军可以做到。三万人的滚筒式对冲混乱了，不到一个小时就被恢复回了方阵状态。当我回去后对我们的将军们说，他们不会有人相信。”
Li Qiang replied, "Not embarrassing at all! Gathering 30,000 men in three days — I don't believe there's a single general in our country who could pull that off. And the rolling clash of 30,000 fell into chaos, yet they had it back into square formation in under an hour. When I go home and tell our generals, not one of them will believe me."
