Guo Ye: Of course I'd have liked to have kept the powder and rockets. But there is too great a risk of the witch-child getting them. It was much safer to destroy them.

Guard: But how will we keep the villagers from attacking us?

Guard: Especially with the children gone?

Guo Ye: Fools! Are you going to tell the villagers that we no longer have the gunpowder?

Guard: Uh, no.

Guo Ye: Very good. And what they don't know won't hurt us. Now get inside. We must make plans.
