Episode 8

General Shang,

You know what?

Lieutenant Zhao

calculated the number of provisions and weapons last night,

and didn't sleep all night.

Lieutenant Sun

was even so worried about the change of defence troops

that his hair turned white.

I see.

I feel ashamed.

To be honest,

my ancestors

had a long-lost secret therapy.

It's called Bloodletting Therapy.

I'm sure after we use a course of this treatment on these two lieutenants,

they will be as energetic as you.

Bai.

Fetch my knife for me

so that I can use the Bloodletting Therapy

on these two lieutenants.

Young Marquis.

Didn't you just say that

you wanted to go to the downtown area to buy something?

Let's go.

Fine.

We are a family from now on.

Yes.

When there's a chance, I'll use the Bloodletting Therapy.

General Shang,

I'll hold a welcome party for you another day.

Okay.

Bye, General.

We'll use the Bloodletting Therapy another day.

Come out, soldiers.

All of you should leave first.

Yes.

Why haven't you two got up yet?

What was wrong with you two?

We agreed to release the signal by throwing the cups at the same time.

Why did you two pretend to be drunk as soon as he came?

We almost succeeded in killing him.

No.

Qian.

His Majesty always changes his mind.

Let's delay this plan for some more time.

Right.

Bullshit!

If Young Marquis doesn't cause trouble,

and we keep an eye on him carefully,

I don't think the superiors in Shengdu will say anything.

Anyway, what they've asked us to do

is not something honorable.

Why don't we wait for some more time?

Let's take action after we make a plan carefully.

We're finally back safely.

There were so many soldiers lurking inside the room just now.

I tried my best to warn you by winking at you,

but you still kept talking.

I'm afraid there will be a rebellion in Qingzhou.

Young Marquis.

It's not that they want to rebel,

but in their minds, you are the one who rebels.

They think they're trying to quell the rebellion.

Mai.

Don't talk nonsense.

Forget it.

It doesn't matter who rebels.

At this point, we should seize the time to escape at once.

It's not a bad idea.

What do you think?

I'll listen to you.

Let's escape then.

Let's escape at one.

Young Marquis.

Young Marquis.

The city has been sealed.

Why did they seal the city in broad daylight?

I went to the city gate first,

but I heard the city gate official Wang Yang announce to seal the city.

He said that after Young Marquis took office,

there would be a change of defence troops inside the city,

and it was necessary to seal the city for seven days.

See?

These bastards are determined

to keep me here.

Don't worry.

They can’t confine us here.

Let’s go discuss with Mr. Xu about the strategy.

Okay.

The people we sent out haven't come back yet.

It means that these two generals are probably in danger.

Yes.

You didn't see what happened just now.

These three men

were so bold.

Luckily, Mai took me out in time.

Otherwise, I would have

been killed by them.

Mai is so smart.

I just used some petty tricks.

I'm thinking if Zhao, Qian and Sun

really wanted to kill you,

I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to

walk out of the City Guard Mansion so easily.

As you said, among the three men,

two of them pretended to be drunk,

and one of them talked to you.

That means they have different opinions.

Maybe this is a chance.

Sir,

how should we seize this opportunity?

Do what you're best at.

Just be a playboy.

Come and take a look.

Come and take a look.

This one.

This one, this one, this one,

this one, this one and this one.

I want all of them.

It looks so nice.

Thank you.

This one, this one and this one.

I want all of them.

Thank you.

What are you carrying?

Steward Liu,

here are a pair of Eight-treasure Silver Lights

purchased by the general,

a pair of Celadon Conch Pearl Vases,

some calligraphy works and paintings,

and some silk cloth and fabrics.

They were all purchased by the general?

Yes.

The general also asked you to decide where to put them.

Well, hurry up.

Carry them into the house. Hurry up.

There are so many items.

Mai.

Is it quite inappropriate for us

to spend money like this?

He is Marquis Dingnan,

who is a famous playboy in Shengdu.

Didn't you see it?

This morning,

he bought many good things

for his own home.

You want to save money for him?

You can

buy whatever you want.

Did you hear me?

We bought women's stuff.

You don't need it, Mai.

He's willing to spend money.

You can buy whatever you want.

Mai is right.

You are his sister,

so I also regard you as my sister.

Just ask me to buy anything you want to get in the future.

Did you hear that?

I don't want to be Mai's sister.

Young Marquis.

You spent a lot of money,

but you didn't frown at all.

You're really rich and generous.

As the host, I'm just trying to show hospitality.

But it's a pity.

It's a pity?

Though Yough Marquis is generous,

the scene isn't big enough.

What do you mean?

[Yunshuijian Wine Shop]

Take care.

Sir!

What would you like, gentlemen?

Let me recommend some products to you.

I've decided to

buy all the wine in your shop.

You'll buy all the wine?

Are you sure?

Okay. I’ll arrange it for you at once.

Where is your mansion?

We can deliver the wine to your mansion.

No need.

Open all these wine jars

and put them outside.

We want to treat all the people in the city to some wine.

Look. There is a lot of wine here.

It's Marquis Dingnan's treat today.

Drink as much as you want!

Great! Great! Great!

Thank you, Marquis Dingnan.

-Thank you, Marquis Dingnan. -Thank you, Marquis Dingnan.

What a big scene it is today.

It's not big enough.

Sir,

do you have any

precious one-thousand-year-old wine here?

There's no one-thousand-year-old wine here.

But there are a few jars of one-hundred-year-old wine.

Those are the treasures of our shop.

I'll buy them all.

Okay.

Serve the wine.

Guys, look. There's still some wine.

There's still some wine.

What wine is this?

This is good wine.

It smells so good.

Come on. Look, guys.

There's still some wine.

There's still some wine?

It smells so good.

It smells so good.

Good wine!

Good wine! Good wine! Good!

Sir.

This jar of wine

will be the treasure of your shop from now on.

Okay.

Young Marquis.

Give this wine a name.

This wine is a combination of various kinds of good wine,

and it's rare in the world.

Why don't we call it

Immortal Drunk?

What do you think?

Good.

Immortal Drunk is a good name.

Buddies,

go back and tell your family and friends that

Marquis Dingnan bought the best wine in the world

with 10,000 taels of silver today.

It's called Immortal Drunk!

Good! Good!

Cheers!

Good! Good! Good wine!

[Yunshuijian]

Bottoms up.

Good! Good wine! The wine is good!

Let's drink.

Let's drink.

Cheers!

Sir,

do you think I spent money lavishly enough like a playboy?

Young Marquis.

An ordinary person's lifelong expenses

are not as large as your expenses today.

When I came up with this plan,

I never thought that

you could carry out this plan so thoroughly

and so perfectly.

You are a genius.

You're the one who is brilliant.

You know what?

My mother has no desire.

Basically, the burden of spending money in our family

is borne by me.

Okay.

Young Marquis.

Since you bought the Immortal Drunk

in such an eye-catching way,

why don't we go on using this trick to deal with them?

On the first day, General Shang

bought a pair of Eight-treasure Silver Lights,

a pair of Celadon Conch Pearl Vases,

and some pieces of jewellery.

He also bought over a dozen bolts of cloth.

On the second day, he went to the rouge shop

and bought ten boxes of Yurong Powder.

The price was 80 taels per box.

Alright. That's enough.

Stop talking about it.

This Young Marquis spent money so lavishly.

I remember that the weapons in our barracks

are all old models which were bought more than ten years ago.

The money spent by Young Marquis in one day

is enough to buy a batch of new weapons for us.

I really want to rob him.

By the way,

Qi,

besides shopping around the market

and eating in a restaurant every day,

did they ask about anything else?

Yes.

What did they ask about?

Did they ask about the movements of Deputy General Wei and the others?

They asked where they could buy the best antiques,

where they could find the prettiest ladies,

and which restaurant offered the most delicious food.

Bah!

What a playboy.

My annual salary

is not enough for me to eat at a restaurant every day.

Report!

My Lord.

[Invitation Letter]

General Shang from the Garrison General's Mansion sent an invitation letter here.

He wanted to invite the three lieutenants to a banquet.

He said he had bought some good wine at a high price a few days ago,

so he wanted to invite the three generals to taste it together.

See?

After he bought some good stuff, he wanted to show it off.

He really has nothing hidden in his mind.

Are we going or not?

I'm afraid there might be a trap in the banquet.

By the way,

the servants of the City Guard Mansion said that

General Shang spent no less than

10,000 taels of silver on this wine.

The merchants in the city are so eager to earn money from him.

They always hope that General Shang will go to their shops to buy their products.

They even gave General Shang a nickname, and the nickname is...

What nickname is it?

God of Wealth.

Let's all attend the banquet.

I'm just not afraid of him.

Let's all attend the banquet.

Let's all go to the banquet.

Mu Bai.

I'm so nervous that my palms are sweating.

Why are you nervous?

You rehearsed this scene in the room many times last night, didn't you?

How dare you say that?

You played three roles by yourself.

Can it be the same?

We can't make it public.

We have to be careful.

Fine.

As long as the three of them enter Qingfeng Pavilion,

they won't be able to get out safe and sound.

They're here.

I’ll sit over there first.

-General Shang. -General Shang.

General Shang, I'm sorry.

We're late.

I apologize to you on behalf of Qian.

Qian caught a cold last night.

He couldn't get up this morning.

In order not to spoil your mood,

we didn't inform you in advance.

Please forgive us.

Alright. His health is important.

Please.

Generals, please come in.

Okay. Please. Please.

Please.

Please. Please.

General Shang came from afar.

We should have held

a welcome party for you.

However,

both of us don't have much money.

We can only use this opportunity to welcome you.

A toast to you, General Shang.

-To General Shang. -To General Shang.

Cheers.

Both the people and the wine are good in Qingzhou.

I'm very happy.

But I hope that you two

can take up more responsibility for military affairs in the future.

General Shang, don't say that.

After the change of defence troops is finished,

all the military affairs in Qingzhou will be handed over to you.

But that's not my ambition.

I hate managing trivial matters in the army the most.

Right.

General Shang, you were born with a noble status.

How can you manage these vulgar things?

Right?

Come on. Please.

However, I just think that

you two have worked hard with great merits.

You racked your brains to deal with the problems in the barracks.

Therefore, in order to reward you,

I've specially invited the Lanxiang Troupe

to dance here and bring us some fun.

Greetings, General Shang.

Today’s main guests

are the two officials in my barracks.

Greetings, my lords.

Refill my cup with some wine at once.

Since ancient times, good wine and beautiful ladies have been a good match for heroes.

A toast to you two.

Cheers.

Let's have another cup of wine.

Cheers.

Lieutenant Qian didn't come.

But Young Marquis is inside now.

We have no choice but to take action.

At this point, we can't wait anymore.

We'll set out immediately.

Yes.

Mai.

Where are we going?

We'll pick up Young Marquis

and then go hunting.

♫The fragrant grass is fresh and beautiful♫

♫My friend would like to pick it up♫

♫We looked for friends while wearing armor, and all the soldiers got along well with each other♫

Bravo!

Cheers.

Come on. You should drink, too.

We thought that

all the young aristocrats from Shengdu

were just some wilful and bad-tempered men.

I didn’t expect that General Shang

would be such an unrestrained and frank man.

Not really.

But having fun

is my top priority.

Buddies,

if there's any fun activity,

remember to inform me first.

Okay.

I've prepared some small gifts for you.

Refill the cups.

Is this the legendary Immortal Drunk?

Exactly.

Come on.

Please.

Wait.

General Shang.

We can't drink this wine.

You don't believe me, do you?

Well...

You two can drink as much as you want.

I have to go to the toilet.

After I come back, let's continue to dance.

Help yourselves, please.

Qi.

Escort the general to the toilet.

Yes.

Buddy.

When you're here,

I'm not able to pee.

General.

General! General!

Why is Young Marquis using the toilet

for so long?

Right.

He hasn't come back yet after such a long time.

You...

Go look for Qi.

Knockout incense. Knockout incense.

General.

General, have you finished?

[Qingfeng Pavilion]

Come here.

General! General!

General!

General!

Did both of them pass out?

I drank a lot of wine.

I came out after I saw that the knockout incense was ignited.

The knockout incense skills which Chunniang taught me

are finally useful now.

However, Qian didn't come. What should we do?

I thought if we killed all three of them at this time,

Qingzhou would be yours.

But I think they started to get vigilant a long time ago.

We have no choice but to take this opportunity to escape.

Let's get out of the city first before we talk.

Okay.

[Qingfeng Pavilion]

Oh no.

General.

General.

Qi.

My Lord, how are you?

Qi, help me up to go after Shang Yizhi now.

Hurry up.

General Shang, please stop.

Wang Yang,

open the city gate for me.

I'm sorry, but I can't do as you said.

You're so bold!

How dare you stop me?

General Shang is leaving in such a hurry.

Where are you going?

Lieutenant Qian.

Just now, the other two lieutenants

didn't have enough fun while eating at the banquet.

They said they wanted to eat wild rabbits.

I'm going out of the city

to hunt two wild rabbits for them.

No need.

We have many wild rabbits.

Come on. Ask General Shang to go back to his mansion.

Oh no.

I should have mentioned a rare species.

[Garrison General's Mansion]

Guard the place carefully.

Don't let even a fly come out.

Yes!

Shang is even from a noble family,

but he used such dirty tricks.

I still have a headache now.

Alright. It's good that your head is still there.

If Qian had not

caught up with Shang Yizhi in time,

I might have lost my head.

Qian,

I owe you a favor this time.

Just tell me what you want me to do.

We can't let Shang Yizhi stay alive anymore.

No problem.

I'll take two people to kill and bury him.

You don't need to interfere.

Wait.

If it was that simple,

would I have let him stay alive till today?

We can neither kill him nor let him stay alive.

What on earth do you want?

Shang Yizhi must die.

But he shouldn't be killed by us.

So you mean...

Sir.

How is it?

I've checked all these several gates.

All the gates are heavily guarded.

Young Marquis is locked

in the east room alone by them.

Someone is guarding this room.

Steward Liu.

Sir.

Everything is ready.

Okay.

Steward Liu used to be the old marquis's body guard.

He's trustworthy.

He has been staying in the General's Mansion all the time,

and has guarded an escape route for us successfully.

There's a secret passage in the Garrison General's Mansion.

The exit is on the back street outside the mansion.

It's a secluded place and few people go there.

I'll go save Young Marquis.

Let's leave here after we save him.

Bad news.

Lieutenant Qian brought some troops here just now,

and took Young Marquis away directly.

Lieutenant Qian.

Killing me won't do you any good.

My mother is the Eldest Princess.

If I die, you will be killed, too.

Lieutenant Qian.

Let me tell you.

If you want money or a higher official position,

I can give them to you.

As long as you let me go, it'll be fine.

Come on. Take him there.

Where is this place?

No.

Go.

Go inside.

Work hard.

Be careful when you inquire about his news.

Don't expose your whereabouts.

Don't worry, sir.

Come on, Sun.

Let's celebrate our success in solving this problem.

Cheers.

It's all thanks to Qian this time.

If it weren't for him,

both of us

would have been affected by Marquis Shang's knockout incense till now.

Right.

But Qian didn't do it in vain.

Not only did he deal with Shang Yizhi,

but he also made that marquis earn money for him.

For a delicate young aristocrat from Shengdu like him,

how much money can he earn?

In Qian's place,

I'm afraid he can't survive for two or three days.

You...

Sun,

later, please do this hard job of

killing those two generals in jail.

Why do you want me to do it?

I'm not the one who wants you to do it.

I also have a mission, don't I?

What mission do you have?

Look. I have to keep an eye on those people

in the Garrison General's Mansion, don't I?

If they sneak out

and save Shang Yizhi,

we'll be in big trouble.

Can you stop walking around?

It's annoying to watch you walking around.

I...

I can't wait any longer.

Sir,

let me go out and look for him.

How is it?

Young Marquis is missing.

I'm afraid he's in danger.

Besides,

General Wei and General Liang will be killed by them.

What should we do?

Young Marquis is the only son of the Eldest Princess.

I don't think those three lieutenants dare to kill him directly.

However, General Wei and General Liang are in danger now.

We can't just stand by and do nothing.

Otherwise, we'll have no military power.

Even after we save Young Marquis,

we won't be able to change our situation of being weaker than our enemy.

What you said makes sense.

But we need more men

to rescue the two generals.

How about this?

You can take Bai and the others

to rescue the generals first.

I'll go find out about Young Marquis' whereabouts.

After our tasks are finished,

let's meet at your calligraphy works and paintings store.

Young Marquis' safety is entrusted to you.

Madam, have you seen Lieutenant Qian?

No.

We're looking for him everywhere.

I don't know.

Do you know where he is?

No, I don't.

Thank you.

Bro,

have you seen Lieutenant Qian on the way?

I don't know.

The city has been sealed, hasn't it?

Have you seen where the troops go?

No, I haven't.

Okay. Thank you.

Madam,

which is the shortest way to Yunshuijian?

Go straight along this road.

Then go through that area and go towards that direction.

Then turn right and you'll arrive.

Thank you, Madam.

[Yunshuijian Wine Shop]

You're here.

How many jars of Immortal Drunk do you want today?

I don't want the Immortal Drunk today.

I want to ask you something.

Go ahead.

Here's the thing.

A friend of mine

accidentally offended Lieutenant Qian.

I want to see Lieutenant Qian

and apologize to him.

Do you know how I can see him?

Sir,

it's not that I don't want to tell you.

But Lieutenant Qian is known for

his hot temper.

He's very stubborn.

Besides, he has a great fortune.

The common way of using money to save someone

doesn't work with him.

As a lieutenant,

how did he make a great fortune?

I don't know.

Sir,

please help me.

If you really want to save your friend,

you have to personally go to

the barracks which are under Lieutenant Qian’s control.

He spends over

half of his time there every day.

If you beg him sincerely, there might be a chance.

Okay.

Those bank notes I gave you just now are for buying a jar of Immortal Drunk.

Okay.

There's liquorice.

There's also cinnamon.

This is good stuff.

It can help to clear away the heart-fire, improve eyesight, detoxify the body and relieve internal heat.

It has the smell of a young girl.

It smells good.

Alright. Don't talk nonsense.

I'm still a virgin.

You're not as good as me. Let me tell you.

Brat.

How did you offend Qian,

which made you confined here?

I’m a businessman.

I treated Lieutenant Qian to a big drink.

He personally said that

he would drink all the wine in the cup while I could drink a little.

I really drank a little.

Then he confined me here.

Bro,

you just drank too little.

Have you guys also offended Lieutenant Qian?

No.

Do you know who managed the soldiers in Qingzhou previously?

The late Marquis Dingnan, Shang Wei.

That's right.

Wait.

You called him late Marquis Dingnan.

Yes, Marquis Dingnan is dead.

What? Shang Wei is dead?

Shang Wei is dead.

How come Shang Wei is dead?

Bro,

don't be too sad.

I believe that Marquis Dingnan

will bless us in Heaven.

How can I not be sad?

Shang Wei is dead.

How can I take revenge personally?

It's been ten years.

I've been confined here for ten years.

Now my only purpose for staying alive

is to ask him face to face

what our faults are.

We just

don't want to work for that fatuous and self-indulgent emperor.

So we have to be confined here for the rest of our lives?

I just want to personally see

how he becomes speechless.

Then...

I'll kill him.

But it's okay.

I've heard that he has a son named Shang Yizhi.

When I get out one day,

I will teach him a lesson.

Do you know what Shang Yizhi looks like?

Shang... Shang Yizhi?

I saw him once.

He's nearly as tall as him.

His skin is even darker than this man's.

What about his face?

His face...

He has beards. His face is full of beards.

His eyebrows and beards are all connected.

He looks more fierce than you.

His ears, eyes, lips, nose and tongue

are basically the same as his.

They are the same as his?

His face is full of beards?

Is there any difference between him and an ape?

That's right.

Bro,

just stay here.

If I get out of here one day,

you have to help me recognize Shang Yizhi

so that I can cut off his head.

Bro, don't worry.

I'll be the first to recognize him after I get out of here.

I'd like to thank you in advance.

Please release my grandson Mingge.

Madam.

Madam, please stand up.

Lord Qian is not here now.

It's useless for you to beg me.

It's useless for you

to scream and cry here.

Just stand up, Madam.

What are you doing?

Hello, Officer.

I'm here to deliver wine to Lord Lieutenant.

Lord Lieutenant is not here.

Do you know when Lord Lieutenant will come back?

Lord Lieutenant has entered the city.

His return date is uncertain.

Thank you, Officer.

Just go back.

Lieutenant Qian!

-What's going on? -Lieutenant Qian!

Why did she still come here?

Lieutenant Qian!

Drive her away for me!

-Lieutenant Qian! -Madam.

Lieutenant Qian!

-Lieutenant Qian, please release my grandson! -Just leave here.

Lieutenant Qian!

Just leave here!

Lieutenant Qian! Lieutenant Qian!

-Please release my grandson. -Are you alright?

Stand up.

Lieutenant Qian.

Stand up. Just stand up.

Come on, guys!

Work harder.

Come on.

How come there is a boy here?

Don't ask about these things.

Come on. Have some water.

A ladle of water for each person.

Don't drink extra water.

We're so tired. A ladle of water for each person isn't enough.

That's the quota for each person.

If someone drinks more water, people who come after him might have no water to drink.

Drink the water quickly. Get back to work after you drink the water.

Drink it now. Otherwise, there will be no water.

What about you?

Put it down.

No, I can't drink it.

I'm giving it to you. Just drink it.

We have a ladle of water respectively. It doesn't affect others.

Thank you, sir.

Why are you here?

My grandma and I depended on each other for living.

One day, Qian kicked and hit my grandma.

I was so angry that

I pounced on Qian and bit him.

Then he confined me here.

He didn't even spare this kid.

These three lieutenants of Zhao, Qian and Sun

are bad guys.

All they know is to bully the people

and exploit the people.

We all hope that

someone can help us.

Madam,

I think your cart is too small.

It doesn't look like a tool used for delivering meals to the barracks.

Is it for delivering meals to a place outside the city?

Is your grandson locked up?

Madam.

My friend is locked up, too.

Can you tell me where that place is?

Young man.

You can't go there.

There are many soldiers guarding that place.

Usually,

except for me, no one can

go inside or out of there.

It's useless even if you know where it is.

Madam.

Now I'm the only one who can help your grandson.

My friend

is Shang Yizhi, the son of the late Marquis Dingnan, Shang Wei.

He was framed by Lieutenant Qian.

He is probably locked up with your grandson.

He's the son of the old Marquis Shang?

Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu!
