Bao and his followers enter Peking, where a joyous Mei-wen shows him the marvelous Hanlin Academy Library. Fighting explodes, abetted by the government. Bao's forces besiege the Legation Quarter until Ch'in Shih-huang orders him to gain entry by burning the library. He hesitates until the enraged First Emperor tells him that the time has passed. He burns it anyway to the disgust of Mei-wen, who joins a foreign man in rescuing books until the roof caves in on them. As Bao's forces begin their attack the foreign relief force arrives. In short order, Bao and all his followers are dead.
