[Guardians of the Dafeng, Season 1]

00:01:37,196 --> 00:01:39,906
[Episode 26]
40
00:01:43,595 --> 00:01:45,074
A bloodbath 1,500 kilometers around.
41
00:01:45,074 --> 00:01:48,074
What did he mean by that?
42
00:01:49,155 --> 00:01:52,074
What you see is all that I have seen.
43
00:01:53,155 --> 00:01:56,215
A bloodbath 1,500 kilometers around.
44
00:01:56,215 --> 00:01:59,474
He was killed in a desolate mountain not far from Capital City.
45
00:01:59,474 --> 00:02:01,614
Most likely, he was robbed and killed.
46
00:02:02,194 --> 00:02:03,794
Wars are frequent in the North.
47
00:02:03,794 --> 00:02:05,674
Dafeng has suffered consecutive defeats.
48
00:02:05,674 --> 00:02:07,655
A bloodbath 1,500 kilometers around.
49
00:02:07,655 --> 00:02:10,475
I can't believe I haven't heard of such a major event.
50
00:02:10,475 --> 00:02:12,354
This matter is of great importance.
51
00:02:12,354 --> 00:02:14,694
- I must hurry and report to Mr. Wei.
- Wait.
52
00:02:21,275 --> 00:02:22,805
Take him with you.
53
00:02:23,794 --> 00:02:25,253
Thank you.

55
00:02:43,035 --> 00:02:44,973
Mr. Wei.
56
00:02:44,973 --> 00:02:46,074
Xu Qi'an, how dare you!
57
00:02:46,074 --> 00:02:48,094
You've come upstairs without reporting.
58
00:02:48,094 --> 00:02:50,595
Mr. Wei, I have an important matter to report.
59
00:02:50,595 --> 00:02:52,455
You have ten minutes.
60
00:02:52,455 --> 00:02:53,881
Yes.
61
00:02:59,755 --> 00:03:01,377
What's the matter?
62
00:03:05,315 --> 00:03:07,455
You should stop that.
63
00:03:07,455 --> 00:03:09,855
If this continues, in no more than three days,
64
00:03:09,855 --> 00:03:13,355
everyone in Dafeng will know we've entered the city.
65
00:03:14,455 --> 00:03:16,874
Tone it down a bit, will you?
66
00:03:16,874 --> 00:03:19,715
My charm technique has never failed.
67
00:03:19,715 --> 00:03:23,814
How come it doesn't work on Mr. Xu?
68
00:03:27,134 --> 00:03:30,674
Ordinary people might fall for you.
69
00:03:30,674 --> 00:03:32,517
But he certainly will not.
70
00:03:35,477 --> 00:03:38,677
[Chuzhou]
71
00:03:39,354 --> 00:03:42,255
A bloodbath 1,500 kilometers around.
72
00:03:43,875 --> 00:03:46,954
Are you suspecting the King of the North, who oversees Chuzhou,
73
00:03:46,954 --> 00:03:49,134
of falsifying military intelligence?
74
00:03:49,134 --> 00:03:50,514
It's not surprising.
75
00:03:50,514 --> 00:03:54,114
What I find strange is that if the King of the North did falsify military intelligence,
76
00:03:54,114 --> 00:03:56,955
why the yamen hasn't received any reports.
77
00:04:01,455 --> 00:04:06,235
At the beginning of the year, I relocated the spies to the northeast,
78
00:04:06,235 --> 00:04:08,315
leaving very few in the north.
79
00:04:08,315 --> 00:04:13,454
Moreover, the King of the North manages Chuzhou tightly.
80
00:04:13,454 --> 00:04:16,555
Rarely any news comes out of it on ordinary days.
81
00:04:16,555 --> 00:04:19,715
If he deliberately conceals this matter,
82
00:04:19,715 --> 00:04:23,615
it would be difficult for the imperial court to learn about it.
83
00:04:23,615 --> 00:04:26,355
The spies have been relocated to the northeast?
84
00:04:26,355 --> 00:04:28,415
What does Mr. Wei intend to do?
85
00:04:30,054 --> 00:04:33,034
Then, Mr. Wei, what do you think we should do about this matter?
86
00:04:33,034 --> 00:04:35,514
You don't need to deal with this matter.
87
00:04:35,514 --> 00:04:37,675
I'll make a trip to the imperial palace.
88
00:04:37,675 --> 00:04:42,015
Rou, take him with you and follow me to the palace.
89
00:04:42,015 --> 00:04:43,529
Yes.
90
00:04:44,954 --> 00:04:48,194
My lady, you mean that Mr. Xu has the support of a master?
91
00:04:48,194 --> 00:04:49,475
It's hard to say.
92
00:04:49,475 --> 00:04:52,055
But that black blade of his is no ordinary item.
93
00:04:52,055 --> 00:04:55,614
Furthermore, he is but a mere Silver Gong.
94
00:04:55,614 --> 00:04:58,414
Yet he can actually take my spear head-on.
95
00:05:02,514 --> 00:05:05,555
Xu Qi'an is definitely not as simple as he seems.
96
00:05:05,555 --> 00:05:08,974
Isn't wanting him to fall for you a fool's dream?
97
00:05:08,974 --> 00:05:10,954
Since Mr. Xu is so formidable,
98
00:05:10,954 --> 00:05:13,194
why not tell him about my affairs, my lady?
99
00:05:13,194 --> 00:05:15,675
There's a priority to everything.
100
00:05:15,675 --> 00:05:18,574
Besides, I don't particularly trust him yet.
101
00:05:18,574 --> 00:05:21,315
So I don't want to tell him about you.
102
00:05:21,315 --> 00:05:24,135
My lady, you're observing his character and temperament.
103
00:05:24,135 --> 00:05:27,334
How is it going? Has he won your approval?
104
00:05:29,074 --> 00:05:30,609
We've arrived.

[Xu's Mansion]
106
00:05:37,875 --> 00:05:38,875
Two ladies, whom are you looking for?
107
00:05:39,954 --> 00:05:41,621
Xu Qi'an.
108
00:05:43,954 --> 00:05:48,594
This time, I haven't come to have a verbal dispute with you gentlemen.
109
00:05:48,594 --> 00:05:50,315
The situation in the north is critical.
110
00:05:50,315 --> 00:05:52,394
The Kui tribe is amassing troops, ready to strike.
111
00:05:52,394 --> 00:05:55,034
A major battle is imminent.
[Chu Xianglong, Deputy General of King of the North]
112
00:05:55,034 --> 00:05:58,015
Hence, we want to request from Your Majesty 300,000 taels of silver of military pay
113
00:05:58,015 --> 00:06:00,414
and 250,000 dan of grain and fodder
114
00:06:00,414 --> 00:06:03,974
to address the urgent need.
115
00:06:04,915 --> 00:06:07,574
Your Majesty, in the 36th year of the Yuanjing era,
116
00:06:07,574 --> 00:06:09,775
Jiangzhou suffered great floods, Jingzhou suffered a severe drought,
117
00:06:09,775 --> 00:06:11,514
and Jingzhou was hit by a locust plague.
118
00:06:11,514 --> 00:06:14,235
The imperial court distributed grain for disaster relief several times.
119
00:06:14,235 --> 00:06:18,755
The two large granaries in Yuzhou and Zhangzhou have little grain left.
120
00:06:18,755 --> 00:06:20,274
There's none to spare.
121
00:06:20,274 --> 00:06:21,934
Why not allocate from each state?
122
00:06:21,934 --> 00:06:23,440
That's improper.
123
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,310
Your Majesty, even with grain transportation by water,
124
00:06:26,310 --> 00:06:29,514
if we were to really allocate grain from each state,
125
00:06:29,514 --> 00:06:31,614
the men and horses would be weary all along the way,
126
00:06:31,614 --> 00:06:33,054
and it would be time-consuming and laborious.
127
00:06:33,054 --> 00:06:34,954
By the time the grain reaches the border of Chuzhou,
128
00:06:34,954 --> 00:06:37,335
I'm afraid less than half would remain.
129
00:06:37,335 --> 00:06:40,655
I fear this suggestion is unwise.
130
00:06:41,954 --> 00:06:44,755
Your Majesty, I have a suggestion.
131
00:06:44,755 --> 00:06:47,355
The imperial court could temporarily add a corvée duty
132
00:06:47,355 --> 00:06:49,475
called the Grain Transport Duty
133
00:06:49,475 --> 00:06:51,614
and order the commoners to be responsible for escorting the grain.
134
00:06:51,614 --> 00:06:56,015
This way, it will not only make sure the grain won't diminish by the time it arrives
135
00:06:56,015 --> 00:07:00,415
but also save a significant amount on grain transportation costs.
136
00:07:00,415 --> 00:07:03,835
Your Majesty's intention in governing is to love and protect the people.
137
00:07:03,835 --> 00:07:06,614
It's now the spring plowing season when the people are busy with farming.
138
00:07:06,614 --> 00:07:08,614
We must not impose additional corvée labor.
139
00:07:08,614 --> 00:07:11,215
Moreover, continuous natural disasters occurred last year,
140
00:07:11,215 --> 00:07:13,034
so the people do not have much surplus grain.
141
00:07:13,034 --> 00:07:14,755
This plan will undoubtedly make things worse
142
00:07:14,755 --> 00:07:16,875
and push people to their doom.
143
00:07:16,875 --> 00:07:18,995
It will bring disaster to the country and the people.
144
00:07:18,995 --> 00:07:20,995
- Mr. Cao is ought to be executed.
- You…
145
00:07:20,995 --> 00:07:23,115
Chief Minister Wang loves the people so deeply.
146
00:07:23,115 --> 00:07:24,960
I am in admiration.
147
00:07:25,555 --> 00:07:27,455
It's just that the people of Chuzhou
148
00:07:27,455 --> 00:07:32,094
are also the subjects of Dafeng.
149
00:07:34,714 --> 00:07:36,714
Your Majesty, there is something you might not know.
150
00:07:36,714 --> 00:07:38,734
This time, the Kui tribe is approaching fiercely.
151
00:07:38,734 --> 00:07:41,594
There were several major battles at the end of last year.
152
00:07:41,594 --> 00:07:43,875
Although my lord is brave and good at fighting
153
00:07:43,875 --> 00:07:45,355
and has taken every advantage,
154
00:07:45,355 --> 00:07:50,514
now he is already exhausted.
155
00:07:50,514 --> 00:07:51,954
Therefore, I earnestly request Your Majesty
156
00:07:51,954 --> 00:07:54,714
to quickly distribute grain, fodder, and military pay
157
00:07:54,714 --> 00:08:01,055
so that the soldiers will know that the imperial court has not forgotten their merits.
158
00:08:05,714 --> 00:08:08,575
Your Majesty, please be sympathetic to the people.
159
00:08:08,575 --> 00:08:11,854
This matter should be considered in the long term.
160
00:08:17,394 --> 00:08:21,834
Mr. Wei, you are an expert in military law.
161
00:08:21,834 --> 00:08:23,694
What is your view?
162
00:08:24,834 --> 00:08:26,369
Thank you.
163
00:08:27,794 --> 00:08:29,195
Qi'an should be back soon.
164
00:08:29,195 --> 00:08:31,434
Please wait here for a moment.
165
00:08:31,434 --> 00:08:32,995
Sorry to have disturbed you.
166
00:08:32,995 --> 00:08:36,374
Lingyue. Lingyue.
167
00:08:40,195 --> 00:08:41,375
I was thinking of taking a bath just now.
168
00:08:41,375 --> 00:08:44,155
I wonder where Qi'an has put the soap.
169
00:08:44,155 --> 00:08:46,954
Go back to your room first. I'll get it for you.
170
00:08:50,655 --> 00:08:52,453
There are guests?
171
00:08:55,715 --> 00:08:57,429
Miss, please wait.
172
00:08:58,434 --> 00:08:59,715
The person just now…
173
00:08:59,715 --> 00:09:01,955
Is he your Cijiu?
174
00:09:01,955 --> 00:09:04,274
Yes, he's my second brother, Xu Xinnian.
175
00:09:04,274 --> 00:09:07,454
Xu Qi'an's cousin, Xu Xinnian?
176
00:09:07,454 --> 00:09:09,955
A student of the Yunlu Academy?
177
00:09:09,955 --> 00:09:11,477
Yes.
178
00:09:12,514 --> 00:09:14,914
But recently, the imperial examinations are imminent.
179
00:09:14,914 --> 00:09:17,494
I'm currently secluded and studying in the academy.
180
00:09:17,494 --> 00:09:19,454
I really have no time.
181
00:09:19,454 --> 00:09:22,414
How about this? You go directly to my elder brother.
182
00:09:25,674 --> 00:09:27,189
Miss?
183
00:09:28,674 --> 00:09:31,895
Nothing. You can go.
184
00:09:36,075 --> 00:09:38,054
"Secluded and studying"?
185
00:09:38,054 --> 00:09:39,995
The truth is, he didn't want to see us.
186
00:09:39,995 --> 00:09:43,794
And to think you went out of your way
to help him…
187
00:09:44,454 --> 00:09:46,197
Man.
188
00:09:47,035 --> 00:09:48,674
My lady?
189
00:09:48,674 --> 00:09:51,755
My lady, where are you going?
190
00:10:04,075 --> 00:10:07,075
Sorry. Where is Xu Xinnian?
191
00:10:09,914 --> 00:10:10,914
Across.
192
00:10:10,914 --> 00:10:12,565
Thank you.
193
00:10:17,414 --> 00:10:19,493
Who are you?
194
00:10:32,674 --> 00:10:35,174
Lingyue, just put the soap on the desk.
195
00:10:35,174 --> 00:10:37,153
I will get it myself.
196
00:11:00,414 --> 00:11:02,301
Lingyue, you…
197
00:11:03,274 --> 00:11:04,514
Who are you?
198
00:11:04,514 --> 00:11:06,860
How did you get in here?
199
00:11:07,414 --> 00:11:08,595
Get out.
200
00:11:08,595 --> 00:11:10,634
Who are you?
201
00:11:11,115 --> 00:11:12,837
Get out.
202
00:11:13,394 --> 00:11:14,554
- Help!
- Shut up!
203
00:11:14,554 --> 00:11:15,654
There's an assassin!
204
00:11:15,654 --> 00:11:18,055
What do you mean by that?
205
00:11:18,055 --> 00:11:21,541
Your Majesty, in times of peace,
206
00:11:21,541 --> 00:11:24,914
military households can be self-sufficient
by farming military land.
207
00:11:24,914 --> 00:11:26,934
Once war breaks out,
208
00:11:26,934 --> 00:11:30,294
the imperial court will have
to allocate resources and provisions.
209
00:11:30,294 --> 00:11:32,095
This is an undeniable truth.
210
00:11:32,095 --> 00:11:37,194
But before that, I have a matter to report.
211
00:11:40,054 --> 00:11:42,285
What is it?
212
00:11:42,285 --> 00:11:45,234
At the outskirts of the capital, a Bronze Gong under me
213
00:11:45,234 --> 00:11:47,855
found a group of martial fighters
in a death fight.
214
00:11:47,855 --> 00:11:49,334
So he stepped forward to stop them.
215
00:11:49,334 --> 00:11:52,414
But unexpectedly, the side with more people not only did not stop
216
00:11:52,414 --> 00:11:56,814
but also killed the person they encircled and fled afterwards.
217
00:11:56,814 --> 00:11:59,914
Before dying, the victim shouted,
218
00:11:59,914 --> 00:12:01,714
"Unrest in the north!"
219
00:12:01,714 --> 00:12:03,655
Of course, there's unrest in the north.
220
00:12:03,655 --> 00:12:06,355
The Kui tribe is burning, killing,
and looting everywhere,
221
00:12:06,355 --> 00:12:08,034
stirring up war, so they--
222
00:12:08,034 --> 00:12:11,074
So, in the north, the Kui tribe committed
223
00:12:11,074 --> 00:12:13,835
a bloodbath 1,500 kilometers around.
224
00:12:18,674 --> 00:12:20,674
General Chu,
225
00:12:20,674 --> 00:12:24,675
do you think you can just brush it off with a sentence
226
00:12:24,675 --> 00:12:27,035
of "burning, killing, and looting"?
227
00:12:28,314 --> 00:12:30,109
Wei Yuan,
228
00:12:31,434 --> 00:12:35,214
what is "a bloodbath 1,500 kilometers around"?
229
00:12:35,214 --> 00:12:37,995
Your Majesty, this is absolutely not true.
230
00:12:37,995 --> 00:12:39,833
Shut up.
231
00:12:42,715 --> 00:12:44,334
Do you have any proof?
232
00:12:44,334 --> 00:12:48,314
Your Majesty, I have brought the person who was killed here.
233
00:12:48,314 --> 00:12:50,235
His body is right outside the palace gate.
234
00:12:50,235 --> 00:12:53,214
Your Majesty can order someone
to examine the body.
235
00:12:53,214 --> 00:12:56,074
The deceased was a northerner.
236
00:12:56,074 --> 00:12:58,814
Claiming there is unrest in the north
just based on one body,
237
00:12:58,814 --> 00:13:01,655
- Mr. Wei, you really are--
- Examine the body.
238
00:13:05,794 --> 00:13:07,594
Examine the body!
239
00:13:08,075 --> 00:13:09,075
Yes.
240
00:13:09,075 --> 00:13:10,855
Summon the warlock from the Bureau of Astronomy
241
00:13:10,855 --> 00:13:12,595
to enter the palace for questioning.
242
00:13:12,595 --> 00:13:16,134
The rest of you, wait outside the hall.
243
00:13:19,595 --> 00:13:22,734
You, stay here.
244
00:13:45,514 --> 00:13:47,495
What are you two doing?
245
00:13:52,875 --> 00:13:54,475
Help!
246
00:13:54,475 --> 00:13:55,715
Shut up.
247
00:13:55,715 --> 00:13:57,195
Miss, who exactly are you?
248
00:13:57,195 --> 00:13:58,875
I really don't know you.
249
00:13:58,875 --> 00:14:01,075
Can you let me get dressed first
before we talk?
250
00:14:01,075 --> 00:14:02,554
"Miss"?
251
00:14:02,554 --> 00:14:03,835
You're still pretending not to know me?
252
00:14:03,835 --> 00:14:05,514
I truly don't know you.
253
00:14:05,514 --> 00:14:06,975
Good for you, Xu Xinnian.
254
00:14:06,975 --> 00:14:09,995
You're going back on your word, aren't you?
255
00:14:11,015 --> 00:14:13,674
W-Who exactly are you?
256
00:14:14,794 --> 00:14:16,715
Well, what's going on?
257
00:14:16,715 --> 00:14:19,075
It seems like Cijiu owes her,
258
00:14:19,075 --> 00:14:21,434
and he's pretending not to know her.
259
00:14:22,034 --> 00:14:24,555
Looks like Xinnian has really grown up.
260
00:14:24,555 --> 00:14:26,715
Congratulations, Uncle Pingzhi.
261
00:14:26,715 --> 00:14:28,794
Not necessarily.
262
00:14:28,794 --> 00:14:32,414
From what I heard, he doesn't want to acknowledge the "debt",
263
00:14:32,414 --> 00:14:35,014
and he's almost falling out with her.
264
00:14:35,014 --> 00:14:38,675
However, he has indeed grown up.
265
00:14:38,675 --> 00:14:42,755
But he did the wrong thing.
How could he not acknowledge such a thing?
266
00:14:43,394 --> 00:14:45,054
Not acknowledging?
267
00:14:45,054 --> 00:14:46,915
Falling out?
268
00:14:49,314 --> 00:14:51,434
What a scholar.
269
00:14:53,355 --> 00:14:55,394
Why has it gone silent?
270
00:14:58,394 --> 00:15:00,754
Mr. Xu, you're back?
271
00:15:00,754 --> 00:15:02,589
Yes.
272
00:15:09,655 --> 00:15:11,274
What are you doing here?
273
00:15:11,274 --> 00:15:14,154
I came to look for you with my lady.
274
00:15:16,214 --> 00:15:18,615
Could it be…
275
00:15:19,634 --> 00:15:21,190
It's over.
276
00:15:21,949 --> 00:15:23,717
Just wait.
277
00:15:40,235 --> 00:15:41,894
You deceived me?
278
00:15:41,894 --> 00:15:44,095
This is the price.
279
00:15:45,274 --> 00:15:47,174
What are you doing?
280
00:15:54,955 --> 00:15:58,834
Mr. Wei, is it true?
281
00:15:59,875 --> 00:16:04,514
Mr. Sun, do you think I was joking?
282
00:16:04,514 --> 00:16:06,214
I dare not.
283
00:16:06,214 --> 00:16:11,174
It's just that if "a bloodbath 1,500 kilometers around" is true,
284
00:16:11,174 --> 00:16:14,294
I wonder how many people
have died in the North.
285
00:16:16,235 --> 00:16:18,514
The spies of our Guardian Yamen are everywhere.
286
00:16:18,514 --> 00:16:21,975
How could we have heard nothing
about this before?
287
00:16:30,475 --> 00:16:35,714
Gentlemen, His Majesty wants all of you to return to the Imperial Study.
288
00:16:36,434 --> 00:16:38,245
Mr. Wei, please.
289
00:16:48,394 --> 00:16:51,454
Your Majesty, I've used the Qi Observation Technique
to monitor.
290
00:16:51,454 --> 00:16:56,155
What Chu Xianglong said is all true without a single lie.
291
00:16:56,875 --> 00:16:59,154
Thank you, Song Qing.
292
00:17:06,915 --> 00:17:09,535
Mr. Wei, I wonder
where you got the information.
293
00:17:09,535 --> 00:17:12,054
It almost caused a misunderstanding
with His Majesty concerning my lord.
294
00:17:12,054 --> 00:17:15,975
I think my lord hasn't offended you before,
right, Mr. Wei?
295
00:17:15,975 --> 00:17:18,195
Your Majesty, this matter
is of great importance.
296
00:17:18,195 --> 00:17:20,335
What this person said may be true.
297
00:17:20,335 --> 00:17:24,214
But the situation in the north may not be such.
298
00:17:24,214 --> 00:17:26,354
Mr. Wei, why do you say this?
299
00:17:26,354 --> 00:17:30,514
Your Majesty, Mr. Wei has made a point.
300
00:17:30,514 --> 00:17:32,995
This is a matter of great importance.
We cannot afford to be negligent.
301
00:17:32,995 --> 00:17:35,135
We must investigate thoroughly.
302
00:17:39,995 --> 00:17:41,195
How do you suggest?
303
00:17:41,195 --> 00:17:43,694
Your Majesty may continue
to levy grain, fodder, and military pay
304
00:17:43,694 --> 00:17:44,915
to transport them to Chuzhou
305
00:17:44,915 --> 00:17:47,494
and dispatch a special envoy team
to accompany them at the same time
306
00:17:47,494 --> 00:17:50,354
to thoroughly investigate this matter
in the North.
307
00:17:50,354 --> 00:17:52,135
I agree.
308
00:17:52,135 --> 00:17:54,915
- I agree.
- I agree.
309
00:17:54,915 --> 00:17:57,014
I agree.
310
00:18:03,755 --> 00:18:06,195
He does not know you. And that's right.
311
00:18:06,195 --> 00:18:07,554
You also lied to me.
312
00:18:07,554 --> 00:18:10,375
You will pay a far more painful price.
313
00:18:10,955 --> 00:18:12,395
There are things you do not know.
314
00:18:12,395 --> 00:18:14,974
Xinnian is a student at Yunlu Academy.
315
00:18:14,974 --> 00:18:18,475
He is one of the most orthodox scholars
in the world, and he is also…
316
00:18:18,475 --> 00:18:19,914
Get to the point.
317
00:18:19,914 --> 00:18:21,815
Okay, I'll get to the point.
318
00:18:21,815 --> 00:18:24,195
The point is his career path
319
00:18:24,195 --> 00:18:26,374
- His career path?
- That's right. Just think about it.
320
00:18:26,374 --> 00:18:29,514
As a student of Yunlu Academy, Xinnian is exceptionally talented.
321
00:18:29,514 --> 00:18:31,195
Someday, he'll enter the imperial court
to become a high-ranking official
322
00:18:31,195 --> 00:18:32,715
and work for the welfare of the people.
323
00:18:32,715 --> 00:18:33,955
If evil-doers were to find out
324
00:18:33,955 --> 00:18:36,074
that Xinnian has associations
with the chosen ones of various powers
325
00:18:36,074 --> 00:18:39,314
and use this to attack him, how could he benefit the people in the future?
326
00:18:39,314 --> 00:18:41,634
You understand the officialdom.
You know what I mean.
327
00:18:42,195 --> 00:18:43,955
Well…
328
00:18:46,554 --> 00:18:48,755
Even so, I helped him.
329
00:18:48,755 --> 00:18:52,155
You helped him, which is why
he asked me to help you.
330
00:18:52,155 --> 00:18:54,595
He is just a scholar with no significant strengths.
331
00:18:54,595 --> 00:18:56,955
What did you expect him to do?
332
00:18:57,755 --> 00:19:00,034
You have no idea how he cried
and pleaded with me.
333
00:19:00,034 --> 00:19:01,915
He said his benefactor arrived,
334
00:19:01,915 --> 00:19:04,735
but he couldn't recognize her or help her,
335
00:19:04,735 --> 00:19:07,715
and he felt so despicable.
336
00:19:13,615 --> 00:19:16,874
Look... He even gave me the Jade Stone Mirror
337
00:19:16,874 --> 00:19:19,375
so that I could give you my full support.
338
00:19:19,375 --> 00:19:22,855
But you, on the other hand, beat him up without a word.
339
00:19:22,855 --> 00:19:25,594
I am disheartened on his behalf.
340
00:19:28,594 --> 00:19:32,495
I really did not expect that Three is actually such a person.
341
00:19:32,495 --> 00:19:35,314
Xinnian, hang in there.
342
00:19:35,314 --> 00:19:37,694
We're almost there.
343
00:19:40,934 --> 00:19:43,034
I didn't expect that either.
344
00:19:46,655 --> 00:19:49,514
You seem to know a lot about Tiandi Society.
345
00:19:49,514 --> 00:19:54,194
Of course... I generally handle Three's affairs in Capital City.
346
00:19:54,194 --> 00:19:56,975
I have no choice. An eldest brother is like a father.
347
00:19:56,975 --> 00:20:00,214
It's only right for me to go through some hardship.
348
00:20:05,774 --> 00:20:09,074
Alright, I understand what Three means.
349
00:20:09,074 --> 00:20:11,734
Su Su. Su Su!
350
00:20:11,734 --> 00:20:15,074
You've run off to play on someone else's bed again. Pay the damages.
351
00:20:25,734 --> 00:20:29,475
Sorry for the inconvenience today. I'll take my leave.
352
00:20:29,475 --> 00:20:31,475
Take care.
353
00:20:31,475 --> 00:20:32,935
Let's go.
354
00:20:32,935 --> 00:20:36,074
I will definitely pass it on to him.
355
00:20:37,535 --> 00:20:39,954
My lady, my matter is not yet settled.
356
00:20:39,954 --> 00:20:41,974
How can it be settled?
357
00:20:41,974 --> 00:20:45,414
Although I helped him before, today I ended up beating him.
358
00:20:45,414 --> 00:20:47,234
He and I are even now.
359
00:20:47,234 --> 00:20:49,135
How can I ask him for help now?
360
00:20:49,135 --> 00:20:52,615
Well, I will think of another solution for your matter. Okay?
361
00:20:52,615 --> 00:20:54,974
But we don't know anyone else in Capital City.
362
00:20:54,974 --> 00:20:58,120
Who of the Ministry of Personnel can check for us?
363
00:20:58,814 --> 00:21:00,095
If worse comes to worst,
364
00:21:00,095 --> 00:21:02,914
I will take you there by force in the quiet of the night.
365
00:21:02,914 --> 00:21:05,694
My lady, you must be joking. This is Capital City.
366
00:21:05,694 --> 00:21:09,095
The way in Yunzhou won't work here.
367
00:21:09,095 --> 00:21:11,715
A mere Ministry of Personnel can't stop me.
368
00:21:11,715 --> 00:21:15,414
Why are you going to the Ministry of Personnel?
369
00:21:17,090 --> 00:21:20,580
370
00:21:33,535 --> 00:21:35,055
Father.
371
00:21:35,055 --> 00:21:36,709
He's awake.
372
00:21:36,709 --> 00:21:39,415
- Lingyue?
- He's awake.
373
00:21:39,415 --> 00:21:41,494
- Cijiu, you're finally awake.
- That's great.
374
00:21:41,494 --> 00:21:42,874
We're at a clinic.
375
00:21:42,874 --> 00:21:44,055
The physician has already checked you.
376
00:21:44,055 --> 00:21:47,375
Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?
377
00:21:52,414 --> 00:21:54,895
Father, Lingyue, quickly turn away.
Don't look at me.
378
00:21:54,895 --> 00:21:56,594
It's indecent.
379
00:21:56,594 --> 00:21:58,915
Quickly turn around.
380
00:21:58,915 --> 00:22:01,475
Alright. Let's turn around.
381
00:22:02,214 --> 00:22:04,655
We are a family. It's nothing.
382
00:22:04,655 --> 00:22:07,015
Don't be so fastidious.
383
00:22:09,855 --> 00:22:13,814
Father. When you brought me to the clinic,
384
00:22:13,814 --> 00:22:17,455
did you manage to get me any clothes to wear?
385
00:22:17,455 --> 00:22:20,694
You were in a critical situation. I had no time for that.
386
00:22:20,694 --> 00:22:23,174
If it hadn't been for my rush against time to bring you here,
387
00:22:23,174 --> 00:22:25,055
you couldn't have awoken so quickly.
388
00:22:25,055 --> 00:22:29,595
The physician said you caught a bit of a chill on the way here.
389
00:22:29,595 --> 00:22:31,475
A decoction will do the trick.
390
00:22:31,475 --> 00:22:33,013
Then,
391
00:22:33,794 --> 00:22:36,155
did anyone...
392
00:22:36,155 --> 00:22:38,255
see my face?
393
00:22:38,255 --> 00:22:40,974
The physician of the clinic at our alley entrance wasn't in.
394
00:22:40,974 --> 00:22:45,155
We ran down a street and two alleys before finding this place.
395
00:22:45,155 --> 00:22:48,834
Well… Maybe…
396
00:22:48,834 --> 00:22:50,695
Probably…
397
00:22:50,695 --> 00:22:53,015
Everyone saw you.
398
00:22:58,834 --> 00:23:03,855
- Nian?
- Cijiu?
399
00:23:04,815 --> 00:23:07,535
Physician, he passed out again.
400
00:23:07,535 --> 00:23:10,000
He passed out again.
401
00:23:10,595 --> 00:23:12,934
They are sending a team to the North specifically
402
00:23:12,934 --> 00:23:15,774
to investigate the bloodbath 1,500 kilometers around?
403
00:23:15,774 --> 00:23:17,735
This matter is of great significance.
404
00:23:17,735 --> 00:23:22,035
His Majesty is still considering the choice of the chief officer.
405
00:23:30,214 --> 00:23:31,895
It won't be me, right?
406
00:23:31,895 --> 00:23:34,095
You are just a Silver Gong.
407
00:23:34,095 --> 00:23:37,995
The chief officer needs to lead the three departments in handling the case.
408
00:23:37,995 --> 00:23:41,235
You are not qualified yet.
409
00:23:41,235 --> 00:23:43,157
That's right.
410
00:23:46,055 --> 00:23:49,374
Tell me. How is Li Miaozhen doing now?
411
00:23:49,374 --> 00:23:52,055
Quite well. She has adapted to life in Capital City.
412
00:23:52,055 --> 00:23:54,810
Remember. Her identity is special.
413
00:23:54,810 --> 00:23:56,310
She can't stay here for long.
414
00:23:56,314 --> 00:23:59,195
Find a way to send her out of the city.
415
00:23:59,955 --> 00:24:01,881
Well…
416
00:24:04,295 --> 00:24:06,214
It might be somewhat difficult.
417
00:24:06,214 --> 00:24:08,295
Why is that?
418
00:24:09,135 --> 00:24:12,694
Li Miaozhen came to the capital to investigate a matter.
419
00:24:12,694 --> 00:24:16,755
Before the matter is settled, she definitely won't leave.
420
00:24:16,755 --> 00:24:19,640
And back then, to find out more
421
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,170
about the bloodbath 1,500 kilometers around,
422
00:24:23,055 --> 00:24:26,195
I promised to lend her a helping hand.
423
00:24:26,655 --> 00:24:29,274
What did you promise?
424
00:24:29,274 --> 00:24:31,289
Sit down and tell me.
425
00:24:32,974 --> 00:24:36,154
We're going to the Ministry of Personnel to investigate Su Su's father.
426
00:24:36,154 --> 00:24:39,874
Why does that require you to go to the Ministry of Personnel?
427
00:24:43,395 --> 00:24:45,675
Su Su's father is called Su Hang.
428
00:24:45,675 --> 00:24:48,174
He was a Jinshi in the 29th year of the Zhende era.
429
00:24:48,174 --> 00:24:49,755
Later, in the 14th year of the Yuanjing era,
430
00:24:49,755 --> 00:24:52,834
he was promoted and moved to the capital to become an attendant to the Emperor.
431
00:24:52,834 --> 00:24:55,375
Since then, he's disappeared without a trace.
432
00:24:55,375 --> 00:24:57,194
No one knows whether he is dead or alive.
433
00:24:57,194 --> 00:25:00,455
For more than twenty years, there has been no news of him.
434
00:25:00,455 --> 00:25:04,195
So, you think ince he went to the capital to assume his position,
435
00:25:04,195 --> 00:25:07,374
the Ministry of Personnel must have records about him.
436
00:25:08,855 --> 00:25:10,774
Going to the Ministry of Personnel?
437
00:25:10,774 --> 00:25:14,274
I have reported this in advance. Please punish me, Mr. Wei.
438
00:25:16,755 --> 00:25:19,093
It's alright.
439
00:25:19,093 --> 00:25:21,135
She offered news
of the bloodbath 1,500 kilometers around.
440
00:25:21,135 --> 00:25:23,595
An equal exchange is quite normal.
441
00:25:23,595 --> 00:25:25,914
Mr. Wei, you deeply understand the greater good.
442
00:25:25,914 --> 00:25:27,694
However, with my capabilities...
443
00:25:27,694 --> 00:25:30,854
I have no means to access the archives of the Ministry of Personnel.
444
00:25:30,854 --> 00:25:32,254
But fortunately, I have you, Mr. Wei.
445
00:25:32,254 --> 00:25:34,954
With your means, if you want to facilitate this matter,
446
00:25:34,954 --> 00:25:36,254
it will certainly not be difficult.
447
00:25:36,254 --> 00:25:38,274
Rest assured, Mr. Wei.
Once this matter is settled,
448
00:25:38,274 --> 00:25:40,554
I will immediately send her out of the city.
449
00:25:42,974 --> 00:25:44,874
The Ministry of Personnel is a critical area.
450
00:25:44,874 --> 00:25:47,295
It's not a place where a Guardian can come and go as they please.
451
00:25:47,295 --> 00:25:50,174
Moreover, it is under the jurisdiction
of Wang Zhenwen,
452
00:25:50,174 --> 00:25:52,780
which makes it even more difficult.
453
00:25:53,435 --> 00:25:57,295
However,
if it's just about reviewing the dossiers,
454
00:25:57,295 --> 00:26:00,054
and the Guardian need not appear in person,
455
00:26:00,054 --> 00:26:04,454
I do have someone in mind who can facilitate this matter.
456
00:26:04,454 --> 00:26:06,095
Who is it?
457
00:26:06,095 --> 00:26:09,460
The Xu family's second son, Xu Xinnian.
458
00:26:36,314 --> 00:26:40,221
Cijiu, I have fixed the window.
459
00:26:40,221 --> 00:26:43,595
Why don't you… g-go take a look?
460
00:26:52,494 --> 00:26:56,894
Cijiu, look. I made you a new long robe.
461
00:26:56,894 --> 00:26:59,474
It's in the auspicious clouds pattern you like.
462
00:26:59,474 --> 00:27:01,534
Why not give it a try?
463
00:27:01,534 --> 00:27:03,410
Yes, give it a try.
464
00:27:03,410 --> 00:27:05,030
465
00:27:14,095 --> 00:27:16,354
Try it on.
466
00:27:18,915 --> 00:27:21,974
Xinnian! Xinnian!
467
00:27:21,974 --> 00:27:25,135
Xinnian, I heard you went to the clinic.
468
00:27:25,135 --> 00:27:27,555
Are you feeling unwell?
469
00:27:27,555 --> 00:27:31,074
It's nothing. He's completely fine.
470
00:27:31,074 --> 00:27:33,714
- Right?
- Are you really fine?
471
00:27:33,714 --> 00:27:35,454
Mother, don't worry.
472
00:27:35,454 --> 00:27:37,974
Cijiu just looks frail.
473
00:27:37,974 --> 00:27:40,454
But he has always been healthy.
474
00:27:40,454 --> 00:27:42,375
It's just that studying is a bit tiring.
475
00:27:42,375 --> 00:27:45,120
Occasional fatigue is normal.
476
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:47,310
Right, Cijiu?
477
00:27:50,155 --> 00:27:51,874
It's good that you're fine.
478
00:27:51,874 --> 00:27:54,174
I made lotus seed soup for you personally.
479
00:27:54,174 --> 00:27:58,515
Xinnian, move a bit. Stop writing. Eat this first.
480
00:28:01,615 --> 00:28:04,295
Is he under too much pressure?
481
00:28:08,174 --> 00:28:11,114
My son is still working hard.
482
00:28:13,055 --> 00:28:16,050
With my son's talent, at the imperial examinations of this year,
483
00:28:16,050 --> 00:28:17,450
he is bound to succeed.
484
00:28:17,455 --> 00:28:22,014
But to work and play by turns is the way of learning.
485
00:28:22,014 --> 00:28:27,514
Why don't we take a break today and relax a bit?
486
00:28:27,514 --> 00:28:30,755
You haven't done the work in the kitchen yet, right? Hurry and go.
487
00:28:30,755 --> 00:28:31,755
No rush.
488
00:28:31,755 --> 00:28:32,955
Just go.
489
00:28:32,955 --> 00:28:34,874
Look at him. He's under too much pressure.
490
00:28:34,874 --> 00:28:38,295
I'll persuade him.
491
00:28:40,995 --> 00:28:46,234
Xinnian, I suddenly remembered a funny story I heard on the street just now.
492
00:28:46,234 --> 00:28:51,975
It's about a young man who suddenly fell ill.
493
00:28:51,975 --> 00:28:53,533
Well,
494
00:28:54,135 --> 00:28:57,674
he was completely naked
495
00:28:59,375 --> 00:29:01,235
and rushed through the streets.
496
00:29:01,235 --> 00:29:05,555
I heard his appearance was quite handsome.
497
00:29:05,555 --> 00:29:08,895
I-I made a bet with my girlfriends
498
00:29:08,895 --> 00:29:13,175
on whether this man would have the face
499
00:29:13,175 --> 00:29:14,995
to show up in the streets again.
500
00:29:14,995 --> 00:29:17,217
Isn't it funny?
501
00:29:18,295 --> 00:29:20,515
Yes.
502
00:29:21,055 --> 00:29:24,175
It's not? Yes, it is.
503
00:29:24,794 --> 00:29:26,874
Completely naked.

[Clearness and Wisdom]
505
00:29:31,655 --> 00:29:33,055
Isn't it funny?
506
00:29:33,055 --> 00:29:36,174
Mother, please do not add fuel to the fire.
507
00:29:36,174 --> 00:29:38,994
I added fuel? What fuel did I add?
508
00:29:38,994 --> 00:29:40,995
How did I add fuel? Whose fuel did I add?
509
00:29:40,995 --> 00:29:42,555
I did not add fuel.
510
00:29:42,555 --> 00:29:43,655
Honey, how could I…
511
00:29:43,655 --> 00:29:46,455
Honey, I…
512
00:29:46,455 --> 00:29:48,415
What fuel did I add?
513
00:29:49,395 --> 00:29:50,520
[Xu Mansion]
514
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,390
Cijiu.
515
00:29:53,454 --> 00:29:56,995
Cijiu, I'm coming in.
516
00:30:00,615 --> 00:30:02,457
Cijiu?
517
00:30:07,634 --> 00:30:09,494
Where is he?
518
00:30:09,494 --> 00:30:11,394
Hasn't he returned yet?
519
00:30:18,615 --> 00:30:21,475
Cijiu, why are you here?
520
00:30:22,575 --> 00:30:24,649
What do you want?
521
00:30:24,649 --> 00:30:27,895
You're full of vitality. Then I am relieved.
522
00:30:27,895 --> 00:30:30,095
I got these high-quality medicinal materials
523
00:30:30,095 --> 00:30:33,595
specially for you to nourish your body.
524
00:30:36,014 --> 00:30:37,761
Cijiu,
525
00:30:38,575 --> 00:30:42,155
I need a favor from you.
526
00:30:44,275 --> 00:30:45,575
To enter the Ministry of Personnel.
527
00:30:45,575 --> 00:30:47,494
Yes, to enter the Ministry of Personnel.
528
00:30:47,494 --> 00:30:50,435
You are a Guardian,
and even you cannot enter that place.
529
00:30:50,435 --> 00:30:52,014
How am I supposed to help you?
530
00:30:52,014 --> 00:30:54,095
I asked Mr. Wei the same question.
531
00:30:54,095 --> 00:30:57,555
But he said as long as I come to you, it will be settled.
532
00:30:57,555 --> 00:30:58,655
You are talking nonsense.
533
00:30:58,655 --> 00:31:01,874
Mr. Wei is a noble man. How could he lie…

No.

It's not that I don't want to help you.

who might be able to accomplish this.

558
00:32:05,454 --> 00:32:09,175
Out of anxiety, Princess Lin'an took the wrong way.
559
00:32:09,175 --> 00:32:10,494
She could have taken the official road
560

But to take a shortcut, she ventured into the Blackwind Forest,
562
00:32:15,155 --> 00:32:17,494
where bandit troubles are rampant.
563
00:32:17,494 --> 00:32:20,934
To ensure the princess's safety, we secretly contacted the local government
564
00:32:20,934 --> 00:32:24,174
and eradicated the bandits in one fell swoop.
565
00:32:25,295 --> 00:32:28,415
Princess Lin'an then left Blackwind Forest
566
00:32:28,415 --> 00:32:31,574
and blundered into a windswept gully, which was surrounded by desert.
567
00:32:31,574 --> 00:32:33,295
The princess trekked for half a day
568
00:32:33,295 --> 00:32:35,135
and almost fainted from dehydration.
569
00:32:35,135 --> 00:32:37,575
Out of necessity, we had to reveal ourselves
570
00:32:37,575 --> 00:32:40,855
and pretended to be a caravan to rescue her.

If you don't trust me, go find Father.
710
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,200
Xu Qi'an!
711
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,400
♫ Fortunately, you came like the wind ♫
712
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,600
♫ Stopping me from frowning ♫
713
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,600
♫ With you, what's there to fear ♫
714
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,800
♫ Let this life bring trouble again ♫
715
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:23,000
♫ With you, I can be at ease and unaffected ♫
716
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,100
♫ Fully aware of the world's misery and cold ♫
717
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:28,200
♫ Only wish to grant you peace ♫
718
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:32,500
♫ Joy and sorrow never intertwine ♫
719
00:43:32,500 --> 00:43:36,600
♫ Flowers fall from above ♫
720
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:44,500
♫ I dedicate my life to you ♫
721
00:44:03,900 --> 00:44:07,000
♫ Thoughts linger, unable to disperse ♫
722
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,100
♫ Laughing as I flick my sleeves ♫
723
00:44:09,100 --> 00:44:12,200
♫ I concealed my sorrows ♫
724
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:17,400
♫ My thin clothes took away ♫
725
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,500
♫ A bit of warmth by my side ♫
726
00:44:20,500 --> 00:44:24,400
♫ Who will accompany me ♫
727
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,600
♫ Comfort me, no need for tears to dry ♫
728
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,100
♫ Casting down my eyes, I sigh alone ♫
729
00:44:31,100 --> 00:44:36,200
♫ Dreams drag on, and yet they break ♫
730
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,400
♫ Fortunately, you came like the wind ♫
731
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,600
♫ Stopping me from frowning ♫
732
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,800
♫ With you, what's there to fear ♫
733
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,800
