=Episode 7=

23
00:01:45,284 --> 00:01:47,245
- I told you!
- Yes.

24
00:01:47,245 --> 00:01:48,725
An emergency!

25
00:01:48,725 --> 00:01:50,324
The woodshed's on fire!

26
00:01:50,324 --> 00:01:51,844
The woodshed's on fire?

27
00:01:51,844 --> 00:01:53,324
Move!

28
00:01:53,324 --> 00:01:54,805
- Come on!
- Go!

29
00:01:54,805 --> 00:01:55,805
Come on!

30
00:01:56,805 --> 00:01:59,805
Wait. This is a diversion.

31
00:02:00,924 --> 00:02:03,459
- Let's head to Zhenmei Pavilion.
- Alright.

32
00:02:03,459 --> 00:02:04,525
(Zhenmei Pavilion)
Let's go.

33
00:02:06,365 --> 00:02:07,365
Well...

34
00:02:08,325 --> 00:02:10,604
- What's happening?
- No idea.

35
00:02:42,284 --> 00:02:43,284
Stop!

36
00:02:59,525 --> 00:03:00,724
Why did he kill himself?

37
00:03:09,205 --> 00:03:10,404
What are you doing here?

38
00:03:11,805 --> 00:03:15,365
I came to retrieve my jade pendant
from Lady Tang. I never expected this.

39
00:03:16,045 --> 00:03:19,045
I saw him sneaking, so I followed him.

40
00:03:19,045 --> 00:03:22,245
Shockingly, he attacked me on sight.

41
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:27,844
Xilou, they're drugged
with knockout powder.

42
00:03:29,965 --> 00:03:33,535
Qiu served our family for years.

43
00:03:33,535 --> 00:03:37,404
Yet he's Power Gang's mole all along.

44
00:03:42,045 --> 00:03:45,684
Tell me what Qiu did today.

45
00:03:45,684 --> 00:03:49,765
He's a cleaner of the Sword Retreat.
Today, he went to the woodshed.

46
00:03:49,765 --> 00:03:51,184
He also helped Zhang water flowers.

47
00:03:51,765 --> 00:03:57,485
Someone set the woodshed on fire
to draw us there.

48
00:04:18,844 --> 00:04:22,445
Father, Mother,
he watered the flowers to poison.

49
00:04:23,244 --> 00:04:27,325
Deliver my order.
Don't get water from the well!

50
00:04:27,325 --> 00:04:31,284
Go and check if the well water
is already contaminated.

51
00:04:31,284 --> 00:04:32,284
Yes.

52
00:04:35,005 --> 00:04:36,924
We only have one well.

53
00:04:38,085 --> 00:04:43,284
The well water is poisoned.
All of us are targeted.

54
00:04:43,284 --> 00:04:45,364
Oh no! I had someone get water
from the well.

55
00:04:45,364 --> 00:04:47,404
I made soup with it
and sent it to Zhenmei Pavilion.

56
00:04:48,284 --> 00:04:49,284
What?

57
00:04:50,924 --> 00:04:51,924
Go!

58
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:01,040
(Peacefulness)
Master Zhang.

59
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,844
Mr. Xiao, what brings you here?

60
00:05:03,844 --> 00:05:07,284
The well water is poisoned.
The soup's lethal.

61
00:05:07,284 --> 00:05:08,284
Mr. Xiao.

62
00:05:20,525 --> 00:05:21,525
Don't worry.

63
00:05:22,484 --> 00:05:25,724
I've not eaten your soup yet.

64
00:05:25,724 --> 00:05:27,965
No more secrets then.

65
00:05:27,965 --> 00:05:29,645
Get them all here.

66
00:05:32,885 --> 00:05:35,765
Listen, this is Madam Wu.

67
00:05:38,325 --> 00:05:39,685
Greetings, Madam Wu.

68
00:05:41,445 --> 00:05:43,724
Nice to meet you all.

69
00:05:46,924 --> 00:05:49,685
Everyone, be seated.

70
00:05:49,685 --> 00:05:50,924
Thank you, Madam Wu.

71
00:05:57,005 --> 00:06:03,645
Madam Wu, these brave people
resist Power Gang alongside my family.

72
00:06:05,804 --> 00:06:09,685
When I hear of your valor
against Power Gang,

73
00:06:09,685 --> 00:06:12,624
I can't sleep or eat comfortably here.

74
00:06:13,328 --> 00:06:18,604
I lost my appetite for the soup,
so I narrowly avoided death.

75
00:06:20,924 --> 00:06:24,125
Why seek refuge here, Madam?

76
00:06:24,125 --> 00:06:26,924
I planned to go to Xianren Pass
to find my son.

77
00:06:26,924 --> 00:06:32,164
Unexpectedly, some people intercepted me
at Jinzhong.

78
00:06:32,164 --> 00:06:34,604
They demanded the Hero Token.

79
00:06:35,445 --> 00:06:40,804
Luckily, Mr. Xiao saved
and sheltered me.

80
00:06:42,965 --> 00:06:46,284
Madam Wu, may I ask you a question?

81
00:06:46,284 --> 00:06:48,804
Forgive my presumption.

82
00:06:48,804 --> 00:06:49,924
Go ahead.

83
00:06:49,924 --> 00:06:52,284
You're not from the martial world.

84
00:06:52,885 --> 00:06:56,685
Why do they think
you have the Hero Token?

85
00:07:00,164 --> 00:07:04,885
13 years ago,
the North Wasteland's troops came.

86
00:07:04,885 --> 00:07:06,765
(They occupied our land)

87
00:07:07,565 --> 00:07:09,205
(and marched into the Daxi Era.)

88
00:07:10,645 --> 00:07:14,765
(They pillaged
and slaughtered our people.)

89
00:07:16,244 --> 00:07:18,164
(People were homeless.)

90
00:07:18,164 --> 00:07:19,164
Protect His Majesty!

91
00:07:19,965 --> 00:07:21,565
(The emperor was forced to flee.)

92
00:07:22,244 --> 00:07:25,604
(Daxi Era teetered
on the brink of collapse.)

93
00:07:32,284 --> 00:07:33,404
(Back then,)

94
00:07:33,404 --> 00:07:38,724
the sect leaders of Shaolin, Wudang,
and Emei gathered men.

95
00:07:39,404 --> 00:07:41,724
They forged the Hero Token
with a celestial spar

96
00:07:41,724 --> 00:07:46,205
(and took a blood oath together.)

97
00:07:46,885 --> 00:07:49,724
(Hero Token)
(Whoever saves Daxi Era)

98
00:07:49,724 --> 00:07:51,924
(shall receive this spar.)

99
00:07:53,205 --> 00:07:56,724
One man achieved this.

100
00:07:59,085 --> 00:08:00,404
You mean Yan Kuangtu?

101
00:08:00,404 --> 00:08:04,804
Yes. He broke
into the North Wasteland's camp

102
00:08:04,804 --> 00:08:07,085
(and killed 37 elite soldiers)

103
00:08:07,804 --> 00:08:10,205
(and nearly killed their commander.)

104
00:08:29,965 --> 00:08:33,604
(Thus, he had the Hero Token.)

105
00:08:33,604 --> 00:08:37,884
But the martial circle
hated his arrogance.

106
00:08:37,884 --> 00:08:43,205
He vanished after an ambush
on Mount Wuxing.

107
00:08:45,285 --> 00:08:51,085
Until recently,
a falcon took the token to me.

108
00:08:54,484 --> 00:08:55,604
So, Yan Kuangtu

109
00:08:56,524 --> 00:09:00,884
intentionally gave the Hero Token
to you?

110
00:09:00,884 --> 00:09:01,884
Exactly.

111
00:09:04,524 --> 00:09:09,644
Power Gang knew about that,

112
00:09:10,604 --> 00:09:12,925
so they hunted me down.

113
00:09:12,925 --> 00:09:16,805
Innocent blood spilled
during the pursuit.

114
00:09:19,724 --> 00:09:24,445
Mr. Xiao, how did things go?

115
00:09:24,445 --> 00:09:29,004
Power Gang sent many killers.

116
00:09:29,004 --> 00:09:33,724
But my place is heavily guarded.
They can't break in.

117
00:09:35,045 --> 00:09:36,045
However...

118
00:09:40,004 --> 00:09:41,004
Speak freely.

119
00:09:44,285 --> 00:09:48,764
They poisoned our only well.

120
00:09:49,484 --> 00:09:53,685
The water reserves
will be depleted soon.

121
00:09:56,925 --> 00:10:01,644
I endanger you all.
I'm sorry about that.

122
00:10:01,644 --> 00:10:04,364
Madam, no need to apologize.

123
00:10:05,364 --> 00:10:11,004
General Wu's loyal service to the nation
makes him a hero in all our hearts.

124
00:10:11,004 --> 00:10:13,965
Throughout the Daxi Era,

125
00:10:13,965 --> 00:10:17,604
only General Wu deserves
to hold the Hero Token.

126
00:10:18,325 --> 00:10:21,445
My family considers it an honor

127
00:10:21,445 --> 00:10:26,965
to ensure your safety this time.

128
00:10:26,965 --> 00:10:30,724
If those villains kidnap you,

129
00:10:30,724 --> 00:10:35,085
it will distract General Wu
and jeopardize frontline operations.

130
00:10:35,085 --> 00:10:38,445
The enemy might
take the chance to invade.

131
00:10:38,445 --> 00:10:42,644
If so, we'll become sinners.

132
00:10:46,644 --> 00:10:51,405
Mr. Xiao, just tell me what to do.

133
00:10:51,405 --> 00:10:53,445
I trust you.

134
00:10:54,165 --> 00:10:56,724
The Power Gang poisoned the well

135
00:10:56,724 --> 00:10:59,764
to force us out of this place.

136
00:11:00,484 --> 00:11:06,165
They've likely
laid heavy ambushes outside.

137
00:11:06,165 --> 00:11:07,604
Yet according to our arrangement,

138
00:11:07,604 --> 00:11:12,805
we must escort Madam Wu
to meet General Wu in two days.

139
00:11:13,805 --> 00:11:18,844
We can't delay or remain passive.

140
00:11:34,524 --> 00:11:37,805
Father, if some of us leave first,

141
00:11:38,484 --> 00:11:41,045
how long will the remaining water last?

142
00:11:41,685 --> 00:11:44,124
In that case,

143
00:11:44,124 --> 00:11:48,445
the remaining water could sustain us
for 20 days.

144
00:11:52,925 --> 00:11:53,925
20 days.

145
00:11:55,445 --> 00:11:56,445
Okay.

146
00:11:57,085 --> 00:11:58,524
I see now.

147
00:11:58,524 --> 00:12:03,764
Listen, we must escort Madam Wu
to meet General Wu on schedule.

148
00:12:03,764 --> 00:12:07,805
Only then can we break this stalemate.

149
00:12:07,805 --> 00:12:11,884
This gives sects time to help us.

150
00:12:11,884 --> 00:12:14,925
United strength can crush the Power Gang

151
00:12:14,925 --> 00:12:17,004
and lift the siege on my family.

152
00:12:17,805 --> 00:12:21,604
But it's dangerous,
and the Power Gang has ruthless killers.

153
00:12:21,604 --> 00:12:26,724
Wouldn't that
be risking Madam Wu's life?

154
00:12:26,724 --> 00:12:28,925
Moreover, in the martial world,

155
00:12:28,925 --> 00:12:32,285
who dares oppose the Power Gang?

156
00:12:32,285 --> 00:12:35,205
Your plan sounds delusional.

157
00:12:36,285 --> 00:12:38,685
We just fought the Power Gang.

158
00:12:38,685 --> 00:12:40,205
Have you forgotten?

159
00:12:40,205 --> 00:12:43,325
Can the Power Gang
confront the entire martial circle?

160
00:12:44,045 --> 00:12:46,925
We're all resisters
against the Power Gang.

161
00:12:48,165 --> 00:12:53,165
Madam Wu, I swear to protect you
with my life.

162
00:12:55,405 --> 00:12:59,124
Huishan often spoke of this child.

163
00:12:59,124 --> 00:13:01,644
He truly takes after both of you.

164
00:13:03,484 --> 00:13:04,884
Qiushui is right.

165
00:13:04,884 --> 00:13:07,285
We should plan our breakout strategy.

166
00:13:08,325 --> 00:13:12,884
Right now, we're heavily besieged
by the Power Gang.

167
00:13:13,524 --> 00:13:16,045
We can't ensure everyone's safe escape.

168
00:13:16,965 --> 00:13:20,724
True. Breaking out blindly
would be disastrous.

169
00:13:20,724 --> 00:13:23,764
Our only advantage

170
00:13:23,764 --> 00:13:26,364
is knowing they target Madam Wu.

171
00:13:27,685 --> 00:13:32,244
How about we use a camouflage?

172
00:13:35,524 --> 00:13:37,565
Have someone impersonate Madam Wu

173
00:13:38,364 --> 00:13:41,004
as bait to mislead them.

174
00:13:44,045 --> 00:13:48,085
To ensure Madam Wu's safe exit,

175
00:13:48,085 --> 00:13:51,364
some of us do diversionary work.

176
00:13:52,524 --> 00:13:53,805
That's it.

177
00:13:53,805 --> 00:13:59,644
The rest will fight tooth and nail
for Madam Wu's safety.

178
00:14:00,644 --> 00:14:06,085
But using someone else as bait for me

179
00:14:07,565 --> 00:14:09,165
sits ill with my conscience.

180
00:14:09,844 --> 00:14:13,205
Madam, let me draw them away.

181
00:14:14,925 --> 00:14:15,925
Qiushui.

182
00:14:16,925 --> 00:14:20,405
Mother, don't worry.
Since Yiren is away,

183
00:14:20,405 --> 00:14:26,244
it's time for me
to do something for the family.

184
00:15:11,764 --> 00:15:15,565
Guys, the Power Gang's atrocities
demand action.

185
00:15:16,405 --> 00:15:20,244
We should fight
rather than wait for death.

186
00:15:21,045 --> 00:15:25,805
Let's break out
and rally allies to destroy them!

187
00:15:26,445 --> 00:15:27,445
- Yes!
- Yes!

188
00:15:28,165 --> 00:15:32,724
Xilou, you're injured.
So, you stay and guard Sword Retreat.

189
00:15:33,325 --> 00:15:34,484
We will

190
00:15:34,484 --> 00:15:37,764
help Madam Wu
and Qiushui break out safely.

191
00:15:41,764 --> 00:15:48,124
This perilous mission
demands utmost caution.

192
00:15:48,764 --> 00:15:52,764
I'll await your return
with liquor and tea.

193
00:15:53,644 --> 00:15:54,925
- No problem!
- No problem!

194
00:16:11,045 --> 00:16:12,045
Qiushui.

195
00:16:14,644 --> 00:16:15,644
Mother.

196
00:16:17,004 --> 00:16:20,764
Countless enemies await outside.
Stay vigilant.

197
00:16:22,405 --> 00:16:24,285
Don't worry, Huishan.

198
00:16:26,285 --> 00:16:27,565
He has grown up.

199
00:16:28,325 --> 00:16:33,205
He undertakes this mission
with a purpose.

200
00:16:33,965 --> 00:16:36,484
Trust his decision.

201
00:16:36,484 --> 00:16:41,844
Our children don't make empty promises.

202
00:16:43,925 --> 00:16:48,524
Father, Mother, I'm sorry
for not spending more time with you.

203
00:16:48,524 --> 00:16:50,844
I promise I'll protect myself.

204
00:16:51,884 --> 00:16:56,045
Besides, I still crave the noodles
you cook.

205
00:17:02,604 --> 00:17:03,604
Take this.

206
00:17:05,284 --> 00:17:09,165
Besides the Triple Shameless Moves,
I'm giving you this Lucky Bag.

207
00:17:09,165 --> 00:17:13,284
It contains trap mechanisms.
Remember how to use them.

208
00:17:13,284 --> 00:17:14,685
Fight enemies ruthlessly with them.

209
00:17:19,804 --> 00:17:22,004
She's right.

210
00:17:22,764 --> 00:17:26,524
I've fallen for her traps before.

211
00:17:30,564 --> 00:17:32,125
I deserve it.

212
00:17:34,044 --> 00:17:35,044
Qiushui.

213
00:17:35,685 --> 00:17:37,365
When we drank earlier,

214
00:17:38,405 --> 00:17:42,445
you said you envied righteous heroes

215
00:17:42,445 --> 00:17:45,365
because they could eliminate the evil
and help the weak.

216
00:17:46,125 --> 00:17:48,965
But think about it.

217
00:17:49,965 --> 00:17:55,284
Flesh-and-blood mortals
should fear death.

218
00:17:56,044 --> 00:18:01,764
But why does righteousness
make them fearless?

219
00:18:05,764 --> 00:18:11,804
Because some things surpass life itself.

220
00:18:13,564 --> 00:18:14,605
Look what happened today.

221
00:18:15,564 --> 00:18:21,405
Many people are willing to bleed
and die for our family.

222
00:18:22,764 --> 00:18:24,445
Remember this forever.

223
00:18:26,165 --> 00:18:28,445
Father, Mother.

224
00:18:30,445 --> 00:18:31,445
I will remember.

225
00:18:32,845 --> 00:18:34,524
After Madam Wu's safe escape,

226
00:18:35,165 --> 00:18:40,004
I'll seek help from Jinzhong's sects
to jointly repel the Power Gang.

227
00:18:46,084 --> 00:18:47,084
Go now.

228
00:18:53,084 --> 00:18:55,605
Stay safe. You must stay safe.

229
00:19:02,925 --> 00:19:04,365
Father, Mother.

230
00:19:05,564 --> 00:19:06,564
Within 20 days,

231
00:19:07,804 --> 00:19:11,205
I'll surely gather aid
to rescue Sword Retreat.

232
00:19:15,165 --> 00:19:16,165
Take care.

Huishan, don't be sad.

251
00:20:32,925 --> 00:20:36,445
Our son's grown into a responsible man.

252
00:20:36,445 --> 00:20:39,324
Look, he has

253
00:20:41,284 --> 00:20:45,764
courageous and loyal friends.

254
00:20:46,764 --> 00:20:51,925
We should trust him
and let him roam the martial world.

255
00:20:53,764 --> 00:20:54,845
Stop crying.

256
00:20:58,764 --> 00:21:01,125
I just want one last look at him.

257
00:21:21,284 --> 00:21:22,284
Go!

258
00:21:32,205 --> 00:21:34,965
(After breaking out,
we'll split into four groups.)

259
00:21:34,965 --> 00:21:38,645
(Mr. Qu, Mr. Meng and Ironclad Constable
will lead the Group Dragon as a decoy,)

260
00:21:38,645 --> 00:21:40,724
(buying escape time
for the other three groups.)

261
00:21:41,965 --> 00:21:44,965
(Madam Wu will hide under a black hat.)

262
00:21:44,965 --> 00:21:48,724
(Others in black cloaks will escort her
through three routes,)

263
00:21:48,724 --> 00:21:51,044
(confusing and dividing enemy forces.)

264
00:21:52,205 --> 00:21:53,205
Move!

265
00:22:10,365 --> 00:22:12,324
(Let them scatter
for easier elimination.)

266
00:22:26,324 --> 00:22:28,845
(Stall while keeping identities hidden.)

267
00:22:29,484 --> 00:22:32,165
(Buy more time for Madam Wu's group.)

268
00:22:40,405 --> 00:22:41,405
This way!

269
00:22:55,524 --> 00:22:58,804
(Tang Fang, Feng Lang, guard Madam Wu
with the Group Phoenix.)

270
00:22:58,804 --> 00:23:00,284
(Break through the eastern woods.)

271
00:23:00,284 --> 00:23:02,384
(Remember to wear gas masks.)

272
00:23:02,384 --> 00:23:04,165
(You'll pass through
the poisonous forest.)

273
00:23:04,165 --> 00:23:06,244
(The Power Gang will hesitate there.)

274
00:23:06,244 --> 00:23:08,445
(Plus, they'll assume Madam Wu)

275
00:23:08,445 --> 00:23:11,484
(wouldn't separate from Master Zhang,
making your path safer.)

276
00:23:14,365 --> 00:23:16,405
The poisonous forest is ahead. Masks on.

277
00:23:31,724 --> 00:23:32,724
Go.

278
00:23:42,405 --> 00:23:46,524
(Master Kang and I will lure Power Gang
into the depths of the forest.)

279
00:23:46,524 --> 00:23:48,524
They're closing in!
Get Madam Wu out first!

280
00:23:48,524 --> 00:23:49,524
- Yes!
- Yes!

281
00:24:25,004 --> 00:24:28,484
(In this case,
let me draw you all here.)

282
00:24:39,484 --> 00:24:40,484
Go!

283
00:24:45,125 --> 00:24:47,365
(Tang Rou, Yuhan, Zuoqiu,
proceed cautiously.)

284
00:24:47,365 --> 00:24:48,925
(Find a chance to head uphill.)

285
00:24:48,925 --> 00:24:51,685
(Power Gang won't expect
you'd head in the opposite direction.)

286
00:24:58,004 --> 00:24:59,004
Go.

287
00:25:15,484 --> 00:25:18,484
Leave Madam Wu, and I'll spare you.

288
00:25:24,605 --> 00:25:25,605
It's you!

289
00:25:26,564 --> 00:25:29,125
You idiot.

290
00:25:29,764 --> 00:25:32,405
Fooling me? You're dead!

291
00:25:32,405 --> 00:25:33,524
Let's see.

292
00:25:34,764 --> 00:25:35,764
Attack!

293
00:26:25,125 --> 00:26:26,125
Don't!

294
00:26:32,605 --> 00:26:33,925
Run now!

295
00:26:35,685 --> 00:26:36,925
Go!

296
00:26:37,845 --> 00:26:40,645
- Go!
- Go!

297
00:26:43,845 --> 00:26:47,324
Guys, stop fighting!

298
00:26:50,484 --> 00:26:51,645
Leave!

299
00:26:52,885 --> 00:26:55,004
Come on! Let's go!

300
00:26:55,004 --> 00:26:57,845
- Young Master, go!
- Let's go together!

301
00:27:00,645 --> 00:27:01,645
Come on. Get up.

302
00:27:04,244 --> 00:27:08,885
Your family protected me before.
Today, I repay you.

303
00:27:09,645 --> 00:27:11,484
Enough! Let's go!

304
00:27:11,484 --> 00:27:12,925
Leave!

305
00:27:17,205 --> 00:27:19,165
Young Master, run!

306
00:27:37,205 --> 00:27:38,205
Kong Yangqin!

307
00:27:40,524 --> 00:27:42,405
You're way below Fu Tianyi.

308
00:27:44,804 --> 00:27:46,004
You can't kill me!

309
00:27:47,365 --> 00:27:48,885
You can't kill me!

310
00:28:22,764 --> 00:28:24,724
Xiao Qiushui's gadgets work well.

311
00:28:26,965 --> 00:28:30,724
- This is...
- Anti-poison gear. Take it.

312
00:28:30,724 --> 00:28:32,965
Take one each. Safety first. Wear it.

313
00:28:44,764 --> 00:28:46,764
- Protect Madam Wu!
- Yes!

314
00:29:38,764 --> 00:29:40,284
The target's not here. Retreat!

315
00:29:50,925 --> 00:29:52,764
What's going on? Where's Madam Wu?

316
00:29:52,764 --> 00:29:55,484
I don't know.
Mr. Qiushui told me to dress like this.

317
00:29:56,405 --> 00:29:59,055
(Lofty Spirit)
Father, Mother, though Qiu's dead,

318
00:29:59,055 --> 00:30:03,524
Power Gang's cunning with many spies.

319
00:30:03,524 --> 00:30:08,324
We changed plans last moment
to fool them.

320
00:30:11,044 --> 00:30:13,804
You'll impersonate Madam Wu
and leave with Feng Lang.

321
00:30:13,804 --> 00:30:15,524
Should we inform Mr. Feng?

322
00:30:15,524 --> 00:30:17,365
- No need.
- Yes.

323
00:30:18,484 --> 00:30:20,524
Then what about the real Madam Wu?

324
00:30:21,885 --> 00:30:23,685
I've made alternative arrangements.

325
00:30:25,084 --> 00:30:27,044
Why did Xiao Qiushui change plans?

326
00:30:28,205 --> 00:30:30,165
Where would Madam Wu be?

327
00:30:31,885 --> 00:30:33,605
Once we find Xiao Qiushui, we'll know.

328
00:30:40,445 --> 00:30:41,445
Return to help.

329
00:30:49,244 --> 00:30:52,445
What's your real purpose
for coming to the Xiao's?

330
00:30:53,284 --> 00:30:58,004
Xiao Qiushui once helped me.
Shouldn't I help him fight his enemies?

331
00:30:59,205 --> 00:31:02,965
But you haven't shown much concern
for Xiao Qiushui's safety.

332
00:31:03,724 --> 00:31:07,125
By contrast, you seem more concerned
about Madam Wu's whereabouts.

333
00:31:08,365 --> 00:31:09,524
Doesn't that seem suspicious?

334
00:31:12,044 --> 00:31:16,324
Lady Tang, may I think you came
to the Xiao's for ulterior motives?

335
00:31:23,044 --> 00:31:25,044
Why did you save me earlier?

336
00:31:25,685 --> 00:31:28,084
For no reason. It's no big deal.

337
00:31:53,845 --> 00:31:56,605
Run! Why did you stop running?

338
00:31:59,925 --> 00:32:04,524
Let me carve your bones
into guqin picks.

339
00:32:05,885 --> 00:32:06,885
Fine.

340
00:32:08,284 --> 00:32:09,284
I won't run anymore.

341
00:32:11,324 --> 00:32:13,044
So, are you afraid of death?

342
00:32:15,044 --> 00:32:16,044
Not exactly.

343
00:32:18,564 --> 00:32:20,084
I'm going to kill you.

344
00:32:22,405 --> 00:32:24,685
- Kill him.
- Yes.

345
00:33:19,484 --> 00:33:21,405
You killed the disciples of my family.

346
00:33:23,524 --> 00:33:26,764
Play your guqin in the underworld.

347
00:33:40,205 --> 00:33:43,284
This cheap trick will get you killed.

348
00:33:44,885 --> 00:33:46,605
The fun is just beginning.

349
00:33:47,244 --> 00:33:49,205
Tell me about Madam Wu's whereabouts.

350
00:33:49,205 --> 00:33:52,365
Otherwise, I'll feed your flesh
to my poison insects?

351
00:33:54,564 --> 00:33:58,764
(Hua Gufen, the Poison Demon,
this place shall be your grave.)

352
00:34:37,084 --> 00:34:41,644
Tang Rou, you're excelled
in hidden weapons and mechanisms.

353
00:34:41,644 --> 00:34:43,965
So, do me a small favor.

354
00:34:45,564 --> 00:34:47,164
Alright. What do you need me to do?

355
00:34:49,604 --> 00:34:54,124
Qiushui, your recent actions
have become rather perplexing.

356
00:34:55,484 --> 00:34:56,484
What do you say?

357
00:34:58,285 --> 00:35:00,564
(Fu Tianyi's dead.
The Xiao family's besieged.)

358
00:35:01,965 --> 00:35:04,004
(Who knows what will happen next?)

359
00:35:05,204 --> 00:35:06,564
(I'd better plan ahead.)

360
00:35:17,725 --> 00:35:18,725
Are you alright?

361
00:35:22,965 --> 00:35:23,965
I'm fine.

362
00:35:36,805 --> 00:35:37,805
What about other guards?

363
00:36:00,044 --> 00:36:03,765
You're poisoned by Hua Gufen's insects.
Let me neutralize the toxin.

364
00:36:05,204 --> 00:36:06,204
No need.

365
00:36:07,885 --> 00:36:11,124
Xueyu gave me antidotes.

366
00:36:12,405 --> 00:36:14,524
I'll take one later.

367
00:36:17,524 --> 00:36:19,365
What about Madam Wu and Tang Rou?

368
00:36:20,004 --> 00:36:24,004
They should be safe by now.

369
00:36:24,004 --> 00:36:26,564
Tang Rou, escort Madam Wu and Mr. Zhang

370
00:36:26,564 --> 00:36:28,925
to the cliff behind the house
and depart from there.

371
00:36:30,164 --> 00:36:31,845
How do we traverse the cliff?

372
00:36:31,845 --> 00:36:33,325
Don't worry. I have a method.

373
00:36:45,004 --> 00:36:47,405
Remarkable!
This stuff actually helped us fly!

374
00:36:50,285 --> 00:36:51,285
Madam Wu.

375
00:36:52,564 --> 00:36:54,564
Madam Wu, are you okay?

376
00:36:55,325 --> 00:36:56,325
I'm good.

377
00:36:57,445 --> 00:37:00,644
Qiushui's strategy worked!
Let's get Madam Wu to rest quickly.

378
00:37:02,445 --> 00:37:03,445
Okay.

379
00:37:06,484 --> 00:37:07,524
Luckily, Madam Wu is safe.

380
00:37:08,445 --> 00:37:11,405
Qiushui, why did you alter plans
at the last moment?

381
00:37:14,445 --> 00:37:15,445
In this martial world,

382
00:37:17,604 --> 00:37:19,044
Power Gang's spies lurk everywhere.

383
00:37:20,325 --> 00:37:24,124
Their spies work covertly.
It's hard to guard against them fully.

384
00:37:26,484 --> 00:37:28,564
I dare not gamble with Madam Wu's life.

385
00:37:30,204 --> 00:37:31,564
So, I changed my plan.

386
00:37:43,285 --> 00:37:44,445
It seems my parents

387
00:37:45,925 --> 00:37:48,524
and other men have safely returned.

388
00:37:51,965 --> 00:37:52,965
It's getting late.

389
00:37:54,044 --> 00:37:57,885
We must swiftly
join General Wu's troops.

390
00:37:57,885 --> 00:37:58,885
Let's go.

391
00:38:15,084 --> 00:38:16,365
Red Phoenix, you're here.

392
00:38:17,124 --> 00:38:19,184
- You serve the Sword King?
- Correct.

393
00:38:20,044 --> 00:38:21,564
Who allowed you to meddle?

394
00:38:22,644 --> 00:38:24,604
Do you know Madam Wu's whereabouts?

395
00:38:24,604 --> 00:38:27,845
I was ordered to watch the Xiao family.
I never went in.

396
00:38:27,845 --> 00:38:29,124
How should I know that?

397
00:38:30,885 --> 00:38:32,245
I see.

398
00:38:51,564 --> 00:38:55,524
(Sword King's men seek Madam Wu, too?
I must inform Young Master.)

399
00:39:29,084 --> 00:39:32,564
These areas have all been infiltrated
by the Power Gang.

400
00:39:32,564 --> 00:39:34,965
Once Madam Wu arrives,
she'll naturally need to rest.

401
00:39:38,245 --> 00:39:41,245
Tang Fang, go meet her outside the town.

402
00:39:41,245 --> 00:39:43,965
If you encounter Madam Wu,
alert her discreetly.

403
00:39:45,285 --> 00:39:48,965
I'll go to Tongfu Inn
for more information.

404
00:39:48,965 --> 00:39:50,925
Got it. Be cautious.

405
00:40:04,885 --> 00:40:06,204
(Tongfu Inn)
Do you dine or stay?

406
00:40:08,725 --> 00:40:09,805
Any man from the west?

407
00:40:10,725 --> 00:40:11,725
You are...?

408
00:40:16,068 --> 00:40:17,898
(Token)

409
00:40:18,725 --> 00:40:21,564
No visitors, but I have a letter.

410
00:40:24,035 --> 00:40:25,808
(To Xiao Xilou)

411
00:40:34,288 --> 00:40:36,560
(Meet in the forest ten miles southwest,
Wu's personal guard)

412
00:40:45,204 --> 00:40:46,204
Thanks.

413
00:40:52,925 --> 00:40:55,245
Tomorrow afternoon's meeting location
is changed.

414
00:40:57,285 --> 00:40:59,765
Does Madam Wu's group
know the new location?

415
00:40:59,765 --> 00:41:03,004
They likely have
alternative contact methods.

416
00:41:06,604 --> 00:41:07,604
No time to waste.

417
00:41:08,245 --> 00:41:09,245
Let's go.

418
00:41:09,245 --> 00:41:10,564
Make way!

419
00:41:15,084 --> 00:41:17,084
- Any clues?
- No.

420
00:41:17,084 --> 00:41:19,285
Watch at the town's exits.
No one leaves.

421
00:41:19,925 --> 00:41:20,925
- Yes.
- Yes.

422
00:41:26,044 --> 00:41:28,245
What's your next plan?

423
00:41:30,684 --> 00:41:31,684
Go.
