六月，契丹國母召帝一行往懷密州，州在黃龍府西北千戎王裏。 In the sixth month the Khitan empress dowager summoned the party to Huaimi prefecture, a thousand li northwest of Huanglong.

又行二百里，會國母為永康王所執，永康王請帝卻往遼陽城駐泊，帝遣使奉表於永康，且賀克捷，自是帝一行稍得供給。 Two hundred li farther on the Khitan empress dowager was seized by the Prince of Yongkang, who asked the emperor to return to Liaoyang; the emperor sent a memorial congratulating his victory, and thereafter the party received some supplies.
