[Episode 9]

Be careful.

Why is this kiln dug so deep?

It has been over an hour, and we still haven't reached the bottom.

Perhaps they're excavating for something.

Be careful.

Where are you exactly?

Where are you exactly?

Where exactly are you? Answer me.

What's wrong?

Sorry, I heard wrong.

Wait a second.

Limestone?

Just as I thought, it's saltpeter (potassium nitrate).

Saltpeter?

It's also known as flame nitrate (specific variety used for explosives),

the main ingredient in making gunpowder.

We found so much gunpowder on Dahuang Mountain.

Someone must be mining it.

We must return to the capital immediately and report this.

Be careful!

Xu Qi An.

- Go now! - Go!

Where's Xu Qi An?

Focus on the situation now.

The opponent has reached at least the Spirit Refining Stage.

Constables, leave first.

[Beast Kui]

Beast Kui? No wonder I couldn't sense any demonic aura.

The Beast Kui has a tough body.

Its eyes, the lower jaw, and the oral cavity are the weak spots.

Understood.

Great, Xu Qi An, you aren't dead.

It was a close call.

The Beast Kui has a tough body.

You must be careful.

Then I can sharpen the blade.

♫ I'm like a bright mirror inlaid with swirl patterns ♫

♫ The night breeze blows through the night ♫

♫ Shallow dreams dim the glow of my lantern ♫

♫ Looking back, a haunting melody rings in my ear ♫

♫ There are people like me in this world ♫

♫ The night is long as if tomorrow is nearing ♫

♫ From now on, don't ask too many questions ♫

♫ From this moment on, I'll gallop across the vast lands ♫

♫ Wielding a sword, wearing a cloak and treading along ♫

♫ Each step I take is like a gust of wind ♫

♫ I don't wish to go against the world ♫

♫ I won't risk my life for it ♫

♫ Carefree people don't fight ♫

♫ Extending a warm welcome to all ♫

Strike the gong!

♫ Sorry, but I can't do that ♫

♫ No matter who comes ♫

♫ I hold great ambition ♫

♫ The weather is dry, the night is deep ♫

♫ Only I am excited ♫

♫ I only pursue fairness ♫

♫ Never bending to officials ♫

♫ The martial arts world is profound ♫

♫ With chivalry and youth as my weapon ♫

♫ I'm like a bright mirror inlaid with swirl patterns ♫

♫ The night breeze blows through the night ♫

♫ Shallow dreams dim the glow of my lantern ♫

♫ Looking back, a haunting melody rings in my ear ♫

♫ Only I am excited ♫

♫ I only pursue fairness ♫

Sword!

♫ Never bending to officials ♫

♫ The martial arts world is profound ♫

♫ With chivalry and youth as my weapon ♫

Come on, chase it!

Annoying!

I can't do this anymore.

Don't come any closer!

Why did you cut off part of its skeletal armor?

As Guardians, we are always on dangerous, even life-threatening missions.

If something happens to me,

this can be used to remember me.

Seeing this skeletal armor is like seeing me, Song Ting Feng.

- What? - Stop pretending to be profound.

Take this to the government office and ask for a reward.

No, Lao Zhu, I'll help you ask for your reward.

Why are you ruining my plan?

- No need. - Give it to me.

Cut off your own.

Xu Qi An.

This is…

This is the Qi-Boosting Wound Remedy pill I made.

I left the house in a hurry, so I only brought this one.

Quickly, take it.

It will help your wounds recover.

Just eat it?

Obviously!

Thank you.

Bro, how does this pill that was personally made

by our superior from the Astronomy Bureau taste?

Delicious. Do you want to try it?

Here.

Thanks, bro.

It's that good?

The flavor of the Astronomy Bureau's pill is beyond compare.

Qi-Boosting Wound Remedy pill. I'm injured too.

Wait, this medicine isn't for just anyone who wants it.

Guangxiao, we are now close brothers who survived life and death together.

Since we're brothers,

we should share everything.

Thank you, bro.

Don't waste it. Swallow it.

Did you finish eating it?

It's so disgusting, I almost threw up.

The Astronomy Bureau's pills are precious.

You dare to spit it out?

Tasty.

Tasty. It leaves a sweet aftertaste.

I'm feeling energetic.

Right, Xu Qi An. I've always wanted to ask you

about your blade. It is quite unique.

It doesn't seem like the one from the Government office. Is it a magic weapon?

Of course it's not.

My second uncle had someone make it especially for me.

Sirs, I brought the person.

I am Zhang, the head of Waigou Village in the Dahuang Mountain.

Get up and speak.

I wouldn't dare.

I told you to get up, so get up. Understand?

Respected Elder, we just want to ask you some questions.

Please get up.

May I ask when this kiln was mined?

This is a kiln left from the past.

The limestone was almost fully extracted from this site.

So it was abandoned years ago.

I heard that the last of the mountain people went south.

Are there kilns over there too?

There are some abandoned kilns over there,

but there are more of them than here.

Sir,

you protected the people.

You've worked hard to get these eggs.

Yes, you must keep them for yourself.

These are some gifts from us common folk to express our gratitude.

I appreciate what you've done for us.

I just want you to take it because of the people.

- Sir. - Go back.

Head, no need to see us off.

Please accept the small token of our appreciation.

Village Chief, we really don't want it.

Just take them.

If this doesn't have a mouth,

how can it talk?

Look closely.

Since yesterday, I started hearing strange noises.

At first, I thought I was hearing things.

Until we went up the mountain,

and I confirmed that this mirror was making the strange noises.

Sorry, I'm just a feng shui master.

As for this kind of problem, you should ask Brother Song about it.

I plan to ask him.

I wanted to visit the Astronomy Bureau myself,

but since you are here, could you please give it to him for me?

So, you wanted to ask me to deliver it, right?

Why?

Equal exchange.

Take this.

No way.

I'm begging you.

I really have no other choice.

Guang Xiao, take this for me.

Take one?

We must report this to the leader.

Of course, people from the Capital Administration and the Astronomy Bureau are here.

How could we hide it?

Right, Cai Wei?

Cai Wei left.

Master Chu said that she does not want to go back to report about the case,

so she already left.

She learns pretty fast.

Ning Yan, Ting Feng is right.

When we see the leader later, just mention the case.

Don't mention anything else that's unrelated.

I understand. Got it.

Don't you want one?

These are local, free-range eggs with high-quality protein.

You don't know what protein is.

Give me one then.

Here you are.

Raw? Don't you have cooked ones?

Silly.

You're bullying me too. Let's go.

[Chunfeng Division]

It really is the Kui tribe.

What do you think?

The Kui tribe is deliberately driving away the miners.

During our investigation, we discovered saltpeter in the mountains.

This is definitely not a coincidence.

Is there a more specific analysis?

Boss, I'm good at everything, except handling the case.

Then I'll add something.

We can now confirm that the Kui tribe came for the saltpeter.

And saltpeter is the main ingredient for making gunpowder.

Boss, have any gatherings or celebrations taken place in the capital recently?

This is a matter of great importance. I have to report this to Master Wei now.

Wait.

- Ning Yan. - Ning Yan.

There is one more thing that must be reported to Master Wei.

What is it?

Kui tribe?

How many people from the Kui tribe are here?

We don't know it yet. But Xu Qi An asked the village chief.

There are many abandoned kilns on the south side of Dahuang Mountain.

Preliminary estimates suggest that there are many.

- Yang Yan. - Yes.

- Take some people to check it out. - Yes.

Little Rou,

ask the scouts in Chuzhou whether the Kui tribe is acting usually.

Yes.

Anything else?

One more thing.

According to Xu Qi An, since the incident involved the Kui tribe,

the government will surely seal the kilns.

Also, Dahuang Mountain is heavily taxed.

Once the mountain is sealed off, the local miners will lose their means of livelihood.

As the villagers said, this is why the local authorities kept it a secret.

The law works for the people.

It's during the Year of Officials Appraisal,

but still, please handle it leniently.

Taxes and forced labor are decided by the emperor.

- Enforce the law firmly to strengthen the imperial order. - Yes.

You understand all this, yet you still agree with him?

Yes.

What did you say to him?

I rebuked him.

What? Don't you agree with him?

On the merits of the case, I agree with him.

But I don't think he meant what he said.

Why?

From my observation, he is good with words and very adept at winning people over.

He reported this to me with dubious motives, intending to win my heart.

So I rebuked him.

We're done working for today.

Bros, it's still early today.

Why don't I treat you to a drink? And we can chat about our boss's preferences.

That way, I can cater to his interests and spend less time reviewing files.

But regarding the Dahuang Mountain's matter, Xu Qi An indeed makes sense.

Therefore, I must still report it to you, Master Wei.

I get it.

I know what to do with the Dahuang Mountain county magistrate.

As for you and Xu Qi An, you know I gave him a first rate grade.

You have your own considerations.

This is what Xu Qi An created in the test of conscience. Take a look.

"My good fortune comes from the people's hardwork."

"It's easy to fool the commoners."

Yet it's hard to deceive the heavens.

A man's heart is difficult to comprehend. Observing human is like solving cases,

you must not make conclusions based on fleeting prejudices.

[It's easy to fool the commoners.]

- Haven't you finished yet? - Not yet.

What are you looking at? Hurry up! Get going.

Oh my, what a mess.

Don't you know the rules? [Unoccupied]

It's been an hour already. You've spent too long in the latrine.

The latrine is very foul. Did you expect it to be refreshing*? (*idiom: birds singing and fragrant flowers)

Well, you have quite a good mindset.

You know very well the boss doesn't like you,

yet you didn't use this case to improve your relationship with him.

Instead, you insisted on pleading for the county magistrate.

And now, you haven't even finished reviewing the files,

but spent your time in cleaning the latrine.

It was an equal exchange. I already took their eggs.

I can't just give them back.

Anyway, the boss doesn't like me. It's already a bad situation, a little more trouble isn't important.

Stop the nonsense, hurry up.

Equal exchange? [Unoccupied]

What could you possibly exchange for a basket of eggs?f

Just be grateful. If this were in the past, the boss would've held you accountable.

- You! - You! What a bunch of nonsense.

Did it work?

- No. - If so, just get to work.

A reward of fifty taels and three days off.

Ning Yan has the greatest merit, deserving fifty percent of it.

We'll split the rest between us.

No need. Just split it into three.

With the reward money and three days of rest,

we now have both time and money.

Now all we have to do is to find a place to drink and celebrate.

Your treat.

Wait, why? We have the reward money.

- It's for us three. - What is yours, is mine, and everyone's.

We three bros, having gone through life and death together.

We share everything.

It's settled. Ning Yan, suggest a place.

Tonight, we won't come home until we're drunk.

I won't go. The work isn't finished yet. The boss will fault me for this.

You guys have fun and enjoy.

- Are there any deodorant strips left? - Go look for them yourself.

Move.

Put it there and get to work.

I heard that a new restaurant opened in the west of the city that serves wild game.

- Shall we give it a try? - It's not appropriate.

What? Why? Ning Yan, what do you say?

- You decide. - Good, very good.

It's settled. Tonight, I'll show you some of the world.

Twenty taels of silver, take a seat on the first floor, please.

This way, please.

How does it look? Do my clothes fit well?

Wait, where did you both get the Yunlu Academy's scholar robs?

Custom-made at the tailor's.

The academy's robes are blessed with an overwhelming aura of righteousness.

It's not that easy to get.

Xiao Hong.

- Xiao Zi. - Brother Ze, why do you have acne on your face?

I just took a long trip.

Brother Ze?

Feeling uneasy? It's your first time here?

Are you Brother Lun?

You guessed it right.

Don't be nervous. I was like this my first time here too.

With you two looking out for me, I'm not nervous.

Which table shall the three gentlemen sit at today?

It's our first time here, please arrange a good table for us.

Thirty taels of silver.

Escort the three young masters to a shared table on the first floor.

- Come in. - A shared table for three.

Dear guests, please come in.

Long time no see.

Ten taels of silver.

I wanted to show you some of the world.

But my money…

The most famous courtesan at the Yingmei Cabinet is Fu Xiang.

She's not seeing any guests today.

This is still early. How do you know she's not seeing guests?

Let me tell you, the time for tea gatherings is limited.

Usually speaking, a batch of guests can stay for two hours at most.

You either pay to stay longer, or you leave.

If you want to have fun playing drinking games, it would take two hours at most .

Which means, if we don't play drinking games today,

Miss Fu Xiang won't make an appearance.

It's your first day here today, so let Brother Ze and me show you a good time.

What a pity.

Are you three students from Yunlu Academy?

- Exactly, what's the matter? - Excellent.

Do you three know Yang Ling?

No, who is he?

Sorry for the interruption.

Who are you?

How bold! How dare you look directly at the princess without offering a bow?

Why is it her? And why is she here?

What do you mean? Who is this Yang Ling? Do I have to know him?

"Sparse shadows stretch across shallow, clear water." (by Lin Bu)

"At dusk, a faint fragrance floats through the air as the moon rises." Have you heard it before?

Sounds familiar.

When this poem was created,

it was praised by scholars all over the world as the best plum-blossom couplet.

And this masterpiece was created right in this Shadowed Plum Pavilion,

with Yang Ling* as its author. (*Male lead's modern name)

I see. Miss Fu Xiang would usually be out by this time.

Because of this Yang Ling, then she has stopped receiving guests.

Ning Yan. You're good at solving cases, but definitely not at creating poems.

Otherwise, Ning Yan…

What are you doing?

I wonder if I can meet Miss Fu Xiang.

No, you can't.

We've analyzed it.

Miss Fu Xiang only appears when that Yang Ling comes.

Right? She waits for him to arrive to make an appearance.

Otherwise, she won't come out.

Miss Fu Xiang came out.

♫ Sometimes when I listen to music ♫

She is Miss Fu Xiang.

♫ I let the wind blow away my worries ♫

Miss Fu Xiang is looking at me.

She's looking at me.

What's going on? Why is she coming over?

Guang Xiao, is she coming for you?

She's coming for you.

- Definitely looking for you. - No, she's coming for you.

- She's definitely coming for you. - I don't even know her.

I only know her from dreams. Why would she come for me?

She's looking at you.

Young Master, what brings you here?

Why didn't you let me know in advance

so that I could prepare beforehand and properly receive you?

I just happened to pass by and come in for a drink to get some inspiration.

No need for any special treatment.

Come on.

Please feel free, Master Yang.

Thank you.

Master Yang?

You're Yang Ling?

He is Yang Ling.

I am Du Ying. I have traveled a long way just to greet you.

Master Yang.

Master Yang, I've long admired your great reputation.

Greetings to everyone present.

Since you have come for me,

then I shall compose a piece on the spot, to wish you pleasure.

Good! Good!

"Daming Lake, the great bright lake."

"Daming Lake has lotuses."

"On the lotuses, there are toads."

"With a poke, they hop and bounce."

Who created this?

I did.

"Hop and bounce"?

"Every day I wake up and smile at the sky."

"And after smiling, I go back to sleep."

"Upon waking, I smile at the sky again."

"And then take a nap."

Who created this?

Your Highness, me.

I want to sleep too!

You thought about it for three days and three nights, yet you give me this rubbish?

Get lost!

Go! Go!

Your Highness.

Did you find Yang Ling?

Your Highness, take a look at this. This is Yang Ling's latest work.

"People dearly love the peony," ("On the Love of Lotus" by Zhou Dun Yi)

"yet I alone favor the lotus, which rises from the mud yet remains unsoiled,"

"shines in clear waters, unpretentious in its beauty."

"Cleansed." "'Cleansed' in clear waters, unpretentious in its beauty."

His handwriting is terrible.

"Cleansed in clear waters, unpretentious in its beauty."

"Its stem is hollow and upright,"

"neither sprawling nor twining."

"As its fragrance spreads, it becomes more elegant."

"It stands upright and clean."

"May be admired from a distance, but cannot be treated with disrespect."

This work…

This work…

It's good! Very good!

It's so good that is beyond compare.

It's so good that everyone in the Music Bureau will stand up and applaud.

Then I find it excellent too.

This Yang Ling is truly impressive.

Having him create poems for me,

I would outshine others at the poem gathering,

and surpass that Princess Huai Qing!

Where is he now?

Have you told him that I wish to recruit him?

I intended to.

But…

But what?

Your Highness, please take a look at the inscription.

[Respectfully dedicated to Princess Huai Qing]

Princess Huai Qing?

Huai Qing?

Brother, you must have seen it wrong.

The eldest princess holds a noble status.

How could she possibly enter the Music Bureau?

It's not Huai Qing, but her maid,

disguised as a man and mingling in the Music Bureau.

Apart from the Music Bureau , has Yang Ling appeared anywhere else?

There's no sign of him.

Then let's wait. If we can't recruit this person for my master,

none of us will be able to fulfill our duty.

So Princess Huai Qing wants to recruit me to create poems for her.

I see.

That's why you created one piece on the spot.

and added the inscription at the end to win Princess Huai Qing's favor.

Exactly.

You are strategic in every move, calculating in every aspect.

Sometimes I really wonder if you are still the Qi An I knew before.

Calculating?

Is it not just an essay?

Father, you don't understand.

This is not a simple work.

Eldest Princess Huai Qing has always been known for her nobility.

Qi An used the lotus as a metaphor for her, enhancing her image.

This is the first one of his calculations.

Then, Qi An added the inscription at the end,

"Respectfully dedicated to Princess Huai Qing".

This is the second one of his calculations.

What are you saying?

Eldest Princess Huai Qing Recommended Qi An to become a Guardian.

Since Eldest Princess Huai Qing has the intention to recruit him,

why not come to the Guardian Government Office?

That means…

That means Princess Huai Qing knows Qi An,

but she does not know much about him.

At the very least, she does not know that the Yang Ling in the Music Bureau,

who is known for his literary brilliance, is my older brother.

Ci Jiu knows me well.

Thus, Qi An's inscription is logical.

Regardless of whether Qi An truly respects Princess Huai Qing,

she will certainly feel happy.

From perspective of Princess Huai Qing,

it's not flattery from acquaintances,

but a piece of genuine sincerity from a stranger.

So, you've connected with Princess Huai Qing and have become her guest scholar?

No.

- Why not? - My thoughts exactly.

Logically, that maid should have clearly explained the recruiting details,

and you would have agreed then.

I'm also puzzled about this issue too.

As its fragrance spreads, it becomes more elegant. It stands upright and clean.

It may be admired from a distance, but cannot be treated with disrespect.

Excellent!

Excellent! Marvelous!

This essay uses the lotus as a metaphor for Princess Huai Qing,

and expresses my sincere devotion towards her.

The whole truth lies within the lines.

Respectfully dedicated to Princess Huaiqing.

Good.

Wait.

She turned up her nose at such a beautiful work?

Right.

Princess Huaiqing is well-versed in poetry and literature.

Logically, her maid should also be persuaded by this.

Why would she turn up her nose?

Ci Jiu, what does this mean?

Because…

I know. Could it be because…?

Say it.

Probably not.

Could it be because…?

What is it? Say it.

Probably not.

What? Remember anything? Say it.

What? I feel a bit cold and want to get a blanket.

I…

Pah.

Get one for me too.

Why did she do so?

Ci Jiu!

Why don't let me rest for a while?

Who's knocking? Knock, knock, knock!

What's wrong?

Who-

Master Yang, my master invites you.

[Lakeside Pavilion]

I just saw you at the Music Bureau.

But it was too crowded there.

So I sent someone to follow you discreetly.

I waited for the crowd to disperse before inviting you over.

Please forgive me.

It's fine. You mentioned earlier that your master wants to recruit me.

May I ask who your master is?

You'll know it when my master personally tells you.

Master Yang, please enter.

Thank you.

Careful, this way.

[Warmth and Harmony]

Master, Master Yang is here.

Master Yang, I've known about you for a long time.

This voice… must be Eldest Princess Huai Qing.

"Reputation without merit, I lament that I never had a good master."

"In the end, it's all but a grand dream."

Master Yang, are you implying that you want to be recruited?

Of course.

Then I wonder if I could be this good master.

You… (honorific for elevated rank)

Though I am but a daughter, I cherish talents too.

The Dafeng lacks talents.

You are the only one that excels.

I very much enjoyed your work "On the Love of Lotus",

so I would like to invite you to be my guest scholar.

May I have the honor?

You flatter me, but sorry.

Unfortunately, I have already sworn an oath

that I only wish to serve Princess Huai Qing in my life.

If were lucky enough that Huai Qing would talk with me,

I would pledge my undying loyalty immediately.

Come out now, my dear Princess Huai Qing.

What's so good about her?

Gang Zi, show Master Yang our sincerity.

Yes.

Master Yang, you're straightforward. So I'll be honest too.

All this gold and silver, you may take it.

Consider it a welcome gift for becoming my guest scholar.

Is this a test for me?

Though I am a poor scholar, I also value my dignity.

Money is nothing but dirt.

If I could serve Princess Huai Qing, I would care about nothing else.

Farewell.

Three, two, one.

Wait.

I was being rude.

This is…

A recommendation letter to the Imperial Academy.

My master is friends with Master of Imperial Academy. [To the Master, with respect]

With this recommendation letter, you can be admitted to the Imperial Academy.

You have great talent.

Furthermore, with the Imperial Academy's support,

you will certainly make a name for yourself.

This is a rare opportunity. Don't you…

This…

Fame and fortune are like floating clouds to me.

I have made my vow. In this life, I only wish to serve Eldest Princess Huai Qing.

My devoted heart can be seen by the sun and the moon.

You've underestimated me.

It seems your mind is made up.

As firm as a rock.

Very well.
