[Guardians of the Dafeng]

[Episode 40]

Save me!

Xu Qi'an, what do you want to do?

Take him down.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by ⚔️ Champions of Justice ⚖️ Team @Viki.com

If you don't do evil deeds at night,

you won't fear Guardians during the day.

Should you dare to offend, you shall not escape death.

You openly defy the imperial decree,

are you Guardians trying to rebel?

Today, we are not just Guardians,

but also the ordinary citizens who grew up in the Dafeng.

Anyone disobeys the decree shall be executed.

Bureau of Astronomy?

Why are the people of the Bureau of Astronomy here?

You'll handle it from here.

What are you doing? Silver Gong Xu.

Xu Qi'an.

Duke Cao framed the faithful official, aiding tyranny and cruelty,

colluding with Que Yongxiu

to murder Chuzhou Governor Zheng Xinghuai.

According to the law of Dafeng, he shall be beheaded in the public.

Good!

Well killed!

Good!

Mr. Xu.

Xu Qi'an, spare me.

Xu Qi'an, you can't treat me this way.

Give me a chance. I know I was wrong.

I realize my mistakes.

Spare me. I know I was wrong, Xu Qi'an.

Hear me out. It's not too late.

I know I was wrong.

Scared?

Yes, everyone will be scared.

The children you impaled with spears would be scared.

And the citizens you ordered to be shot would be scared.

Tell me whether Mr. Zheng whom you strangled to death in prison

was scared.

Xu Qi'an, I was wrong. Spare me.

It's not too late now, Xu Qi'an.

Chuzhou Commander Que Yongxiu

and Prince Huai colluded with the Wizard Cult,

massacring the city of Chuzhou.

After that, he conspired with Emperor Yuanjing

to frame Chuzhou Governor, Zheng Xinghuai,

and strangle him to death in prison.

He's covered in blood debts, unforgivable.

Today,

he shall be executed.

Well killed! Good!

Good!

[Silver Gong, Xu Qi'an]

Mr. Wei.

I will no longer hold office.

[Silver Gong, Xu Qi'an]

[Take It Slow]

Make way.

Mr. Xu, thank you for rooting out crooked officials

and seeking justice for the people of Chuzhou

and Mr. Zheng.

Mr. Xu, thank you for rooting out crooked officials

and giving justice to the people of Chuzhou

and Mr. Zheng.

Today, I executed these two villains,

not for venting anger, nor for personal vendetta,

only for the dignity in my mind,

to redress a wrong for Mr. Zheng,

and to tell the imperial court one thing.

You enjoy your position, living off people's sweat and toil.

It's easy to fool the commoners. Yet it's hard to deceive the heavens.

Thank you.

♫ Thoughts linger, unable to disperse ♫

♫ Laughing as I flick my sleeves ♫

♫ I concealed my sorrows ♫

♫ My thin clothes took away ♫

♫ A bit of warmth by my side ♫

♫ Who will accompany me ♫

♫ Comfort me, no need for tears to dry ♫

♫ Casting down my eyes, I sigh alone ♫

♫ Dreams drag on, and yet they break ♫

♫ Fortunately, you came like the wind ♫

♫ Stopping me from frowning ♫

♫ With you, what's there to fear ♫

I'm glad that there are Guardians in the Dafeng.

♫ With you, I can be at ease and unaffected ♫

♫ Fully aware of the world's misery and cold ♫

♫ Only wish to grant you peace ♫

Mr. Zheng.

Rest in peace.

♫ The fragrance of sleeves ♫

[Righteous Spirit]

A mere nobody.

The time has come.

Heavenly wonders,

earthly fiends,

humanity,

and all beings,

shield the Heaven Secret.

[Second-Rank Warlock's Supreme Skill: The Art of Heaven Secret]

Duke Cao and Que Yongxiu have been executed.

Who killed them?

[Silver Gong, Xu Qi'an]

[Silver Gong]

[Half a year later]

Everyone, this is the whole story of the King of the North's massacre case.

What exactly is that demon light?

Why was there such an abnormal phenomenon?

Could this really be the wrath of heaven?

No one knows what that is.

[Getting to the core of the matter] After this,

the Chuzhou case took a sharp turn.

Take them all away.

Abnormal phenomenon occurs, demonstrating the justice upheld.

His Majesty preserved the dignity of the royal family,

intentionally concealing the matter.

Why would he suddenly tell this to the world now?

All this thanks to the Guardians.

[Imperial Censor He] [He requests an audience with Mr. Yu,]

[accepting ten thousand taels of silver as a bribe to frame Mr. Wang of the Ministry of Rites.]

With no other intention.

At this morning's court session,

just do without guilt in your hearts.

[Memorial]

[Now the Emperor intends to shield the King of the North to protect the royal family,]

[making the people suffer. The Emperor shall be blamed.]

Wei Yuan, you are really bold.

I granted you your position.

Do you think you can now control me?

And you.

The two of you have fought for decades,

now you two conspire together against me.

What a crafty strategy.

Show me all the other tricks you have.

I now sentence you to death for your treason and deceit the Emperor.

Who else is in collusion with these two?

Step forward.

Let me take a good look.

As expected.

You too?

Are you trying to rebel?

I am the Emperor of the Dafeng.

How can I, the ruler of a nation, do anything wrong?

You scholars, don't you know

this is disrespect for the sovereign?

Rebels and traitors!

I shall sentence them to death. Rebels and traitors! Guards…

Your Majesty.

Yasheng's carving knife?

With this sacred relic of the Yunlu Academy,

I exhort you

a gentleman should be honest.

So as the Emperor.

I beg you to issue a royal confession of faults.

I beg you to issue a royal confession of faults.

I have done nothing wrong.

I have done nothing wrong.

No one would have thought that inside the secret chamber of the Haoqi Tower,

there would be evidence of crimes over the civil and military officials.

Incredible.

The Guardians have such extraordinary abilities.

Yes, Mr. Wei indeed has exceptional strategies.

Of course, Mr. Wei's actions were effective,

simply because the imperial court has persistent problems and malpractice,

with many corrupt officials,

shaking the foundations of the nation.

What happened later?

After this, the nation had turmoil.

The Wizard Cult came to provoke repeatedly,

so Mr. Wei volunteered to go to guard the northern frontier.

Three months later, in a battle against the Wizard Cult,

Mr. Wei died for his country.

A hero had fallen. The Military Deity can't be buried in the homeland.

After Mr. Wei's death,

Mr. Wang can't recover after a setback.

In just a few days, all his hair turned gray.

Fortunately, Mr. Xu was there.

Who exactly is this Mr. Xu?

Indeed.

After Mr. Wei died,

perhaps only Mr. Xu has the talent to pacify and stabilize the country,

and help Mr. Wang with some of his worries.

He has a promising future

and a bright career.

Mr. Xu is truly impressive.

Amazing.

Father, mother, he's back.

Father, mother, I'm back.

- There you are. - My son is back.

How come you came back early?

The evidence of Wanzhou Governor embezzling funds is conclusive.

The trial of this case was much easier than expected.

- Son, you won't be leaving again, will you? - Right.

On the way back, I received an imperial transfer order.

Sudden floods in Jianzhou have submerged the good fields,

making the people have no homes to return to.

Crown Prince has dispatched me to manage the flood control and to pacify the victims.

I must depart tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

You've gained the deep favor of the Crown Prince.

However, the current situation in the imperial court is unclear.

I wonder if it's good.

Of course, it's good.

Serving the people is what a gentleman does.

It's so great.

Lingyue is right.

Now the nation has turmoil.

As a scholar, fortunately I won Crown Prince's favor,

I shall support the Dafeng with all my might.

Understood.

Dafeng will be in darkness forever

without you, Xu Xinnian.

Alright, you've only just come back.

Hurry and get back to your room to rest.

I'll call you when the dinner is ready.

Right, where's Lingyin?

I brought her the mung bean cakes from Wanzhou.

I think she's almost turned into a mung bean cake herself.

- Lingyin - Lingyin.

Mung bean cakes.

Where have you gone?

- I brought you mung bean cakes. - Mung bean cakes.

Where did you get this sugar-coated hawthorn?

You bought it for her?

I've been in the kitchen, and I have no time to buy her this.

I've given you all my money. I don't have money to buy her this.

Where did you get this sugar-coated hawthorn?

Where did you get it?

You bought it for her?

No.

She held my thigh and begged me to buy it.

And you just bought it for her? You're really rich.

Don't eat it. Mind your teeth.

I don't want my teeth anymore.

I don't want my teeth anymore. I have to eat full.

My younger sister has been spoiled by my family.

I hope you can forgive her.

Do you know him?

No.

No? Why doesn't he want these silvers?

Such a strange person.

Don't eat it. Don't eat stuff from strangers.

- The beggar might snatch you away. - I can't hear you.

So you don't want your ears anymore, right?

- [Xu's Mansion] - Let's go - Don't you want them?

- Let's go back. - You're the glutton.

Let's go.

Mr. Song, this is already the forty-eighth time.

Are you sure you can grow plums as big as peaches?

It's going to work this time.

Listen.

You might as well graft the rabbit head onto a cow.

That way, I could eat a spicy large rabbit head as big as a cow's.

Well, can you stop thinking about something other than eating?

Moreover, you can't call it grafting between animals.

It should be called crossbreeding.

Besides, they even have reproductive isolation.

Reproductive isolation?

The so-called reproductive isolation

they will always have…

What?

Right.

What?

What is reproductive isolation?

What is reproduction?

What is isolation?

Mr. Song, someone is looking for you outside.

Reproduction outside?

Isolation outside?

I've received one tael of silver from someone else,

and that person said I have to send this item and the carriage to you.

Mr. Song.

[The Alchemy]

[Equal exchange, the Unchanging Principle of Alchemy]

Equal exchange, the unchanging principle of alchemy?

Equal exchange?

Yes, master once told me

the nature of alchemy is not about change, but about transformation.

Transformation?

Why do magic tools operate? Because of energy.

Why does life exist? Because of energy.

Life is also energy.

Mr. Song, is that so?

Don't interrupt me.

The nature of alchemy is equal exchange.

Both humans and magic tools require energy, and can also be exchanged and fused.

If operated properly, one can mold spirits, resurrect life,

and recreate life.

How is life recreated?

Such a deceptive statement?

I think the author of this book must be beheaded.

Go ask him who gave him this book.

Okay.

Who gave you this book?

Why am I so shocked,

yet it feels so familiar?

Three, two, three, five, six, seven, eight.

Why do I know this?

Going solo with the eight of characters.

- I've won. - Sir.

As you said, no sugar added, but soy sauce, green onions, and minced garlic.

Don't come over. Get out of the way!

Wei Yuan is dead.

You Guardians!

How dare you hit me!

Do you know who my father is?

I don't care.

Forcing a girl to do what she doesn't want. You shall be punished according to the law.

Slandering the Guardians, you are doubly guilty.

Take him away.

Get up.

Come on, let's continue.

I'm not playing anymore. I've lost everything.

Let go of me!

- Let go of me! - What's wrong, Guangxiao?

Nothing.

This place looks so familiar.

Have we played Pai Gow here?

During this journey to Jianzhou, I hope you all will work together

in helping me.

Right, you two should put aside your prejudices

and consider the greater good.

Fine, I'll do you a favor.

Rest assured. I have prepared a new scabbard to strengthen the sword's power.

We will surely triumph in this journey.

Just take away your scabbard.

[The sword has been sharpened for ten years. Yet its blade has never been tested.]

[Today, I will show you whoever has grievances.]

Miss, just eat.

[Picture Books] You're so listless in reviewing the dossiers.

Look at you.

Boss, we haven't been home for half a month.

Alright, got it.

I'll take you to the theater to have some fun.

Mr. Wang is so handsome.

You're too kind.

So handsome.

Your Highness, why do you suddenly want to go back to Lakeside Pavilion?

I don't know.

I just suddenly felt like going back.

Besides, I can look for inspiration there.

It's strange.

Every time you return to Lakeside Pavilion,

you'd get poetic inspiration and compose wonderful poems.

However, Your Highness, I must remind you

once you leave there,

you will feel unwell and lose your appetite.

Not really.

I don't know why.

The princess is coming. Who dares to block the way?

Who dares to block the way?

How bold! How dare you look directly at the princess. Offering a bow.

I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

[Lakeside Pavilion]

I've told you even if I don't come often,

it should be well maintained.

Yes. I'm sorry.

Why are we maintaining it if you don't come?

This line is truly wonderful.

Right, and this one.

Especially this word, describing the east wind so well.

This line is even better. Look.

Startling thunder outside the hibiscus pavilion.

- Go check it out. - Look at this.

- This line… - This is also brilliant.

But this one is the best.

No, I don't think so.

Just now a gentleman sent this collection, and said it was for you.

Advise you not to cherish the luxury of gold.

Advise you must cherish the youth.

This poem is amazing.

Beyond the screen, the sun was setting and dusk was approaching.

Gorgeous palace, a person alone, saw her face hanging tears.

Moonlight shines on the sea and tears drop on the face.

In the warm sun of Lantian, the jade emits mist.

♫ A clear sky hidden under the cloud ♫

I like this one.

Done.Here you are, Your Highness.

[Moonlight shines and tears drop on the face.] ♫ Chasing the south wind through the courtyard ♫

What is the second half?

I'll give you the second half in the second half of the year, of course.

Fine then, you!

Wanting to hold out for a better offer again?

No, if I give it all to you now,

how can I continue to be by your side?

How shameless.

You really are shameless.

It hurts!

Your Highness, wait for me.

Just wait a few days, I will give you a poem collection then.

I don't believe you, write it now.

I am not available now.

I have to drink with Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng today.

What? You're going to drink again?

♫ How to express my affection to you ♫

♫ I use this bronze mirror as a magic mirror ♫

Why do you recall the love now?

Because I was dismayed back then.

Where is the one who wrote the poem now?

They said he seems to go that way.

♫ The heavens bear witness for me, the green mountains shift for you ♫

Your Highness, take it slow.

♫ For you, I am possessed by the spirit of a poetic immortal ♫

♫ Thousands of phrases and words ♫

♫ Even half a verse conveys my thoughts ♫

♫ Thousands of phrases and words ♫

♫ I can recite my longing for you ♫

♫ Only because of the good times in this world ♫

♫ By day, I watch the clouds, by evening, I watch the stars ♫

♫ Walking in leisure, listening to the wind ♫

♫ Affection for you and me ♫

♫ Wish to be together even in the specks of dust ♫

♫ Thousands of phrases and words ♫

If you don't mind,

I can be your friend from now on.

Don't be afraid, I am here.

Wait for my return.

Your Highness, what happened?

♫ For you, I am possessed by the spirit of a poetic immortal ♫

I seem to

have forgotten something important.

What is it?

♫ Only because of the good times in this world ♫

[Collection of Dreams] ♫ All because of you ♫

[Follow the Norm]

Here it is, husband.

Your favorite crabs.

What happened today? We have crabs.

Come on, one for each person.

Here, it's yours, Douding.

Thank you.

This is mine.

Who else?

Why is there an extra one?

I counted wrong.

- Come on. - Let's eat.

Eat some meat, can't just eat fish.

Do you hear that?

- What's the matter? - Mother.

This fish you made is too salty.

What?

- Is that so? Let me try. - Here.

Xinnian…

Xinnian, eat the chicken leg.

Let's eat.

Let's eat.

Eat up.

This fish isn't salty.

What? It's so salty.

Start running.

- Right. - Caught you.

But don't go too far.

Stop it.

Come to me.

I want to visit my parent's home.

In a couple of days, it will be my father's 60th birthday.

Wonderful. I'll accompany you back.

Let's go together.

- Okay. - Let's go.

Father, I'll help you onto the carriage.

No need.

Let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Mr. Xu, it's time to set off.

Come with me, I'll take you to meet someone.

[Yunzhou]

Master, Mr. Xu is here.

I know how it feels to be forgotten.

Isn't it all thanks to you?

I've already sent the person back.

Equal exchange, how will you repay me?

With the fortune in my body, I can't live long.

Once the fortune out of my body, I vanish.

If you want the fortune in me, you can take it at any time.

From beginning to end,

it has never been me who wanted to take the fortune from you.

Do you know why Jian Zheng sent you the black gold blade,

gave you a martial skill,

and protected you in every way?

Jian Zheng wants to use the fortune of the Dafeng to promote to the next rank,

and you're carry the fortune of the Dafeng

and have become the first-rank warrior.

You are the right person to help him cultivate.

Once you succeed, you'd be abandoned.

Then he will take the power from within you.

When the fortune leaves your body, it will be the moment you vanish.

So are you saving me?

Don't you think it's funny?

We have worked hard to find the one method.

Only by shielding the Heaven Secret can we shield from Jian Zheng.

Only then can you truly rid yourself of Jian Zheng

and regain freedom.

I am the only person you can trust.

Who are you?

Final credits

Life is best when simple and plain.

I hope that you may eat

in peace in every meal.

Thus, I named you

Ningyan.

[Xu Qi'an's Father, Xu Pingfeng]

Ningyan, do you know the fortune of the Dafeng

belongs to us?

That's it?

How about we go for another round?

- Sure. - Alright.

Another round.

Not now, maybe next time.

What a pity that Mr. Wei died just like that.

Right, it feels like the Wizard Cult was glossed over.

That is the checkpoint of the second book.

The Yunzhou event is also in this.

That's great, let's come back to play next time.

- Sure! - Let's go.
