今陛下好陵阻險，射猛獸，卒然遇逸材之獸，駭不存之地，犯屬車之清塵，輿不及還轅，人不暇施巧，雖有烏獲、逢蒙之技不能用，枯木朽株盡為難矣。 Yet Your Majesty loves to climb dangerous ground and shoot savage game. Should some powerful beast bolt from cover in a spot where the chariot cannot save you, the dust of your escort would be thrown into peril: the carriage could not wheel about in time, guards could not react in time—even Wuhuo's strength or Peng Meng's archery would be useless, and every dead trunk becomes a weapon against you.
