契丹麻答召道等至帳所，欲諭之，崧偶先至，知其意，懼形於色。 The Khitan Maduo summoned them to his tent. Song arrived first, guessed his intent, and fear showed on his face.

契丹麻答將以明日與朝士齊遣之，崧乃不俟道，與凝先出，既而相遇於帳門之外，因與分手俱歸。 Maduo meant to send them off with the court scholars the next day. Song left without waiting for Dao, together with He Ning; they met outside the tent, parted, and went home together.

是日若齊至，與麻答相見，稍或躊躇，則悉為俘矣。 Had they all arrived that day and met Maduo, the slightest hesitation would have made captives of them all.
