[The Vendetta of An]

[Xue Pavilion]

It's ready.

It's made with the material we procured, right?

It's made with the gold we procured.

I kept him under surveillance for the entire process.

Second Master, it's four cun, as per your instructions.

It'll be easy for a child to handle.

However,

Young Master is still very young.

Should we give him something this sharp?

Why not?

I was already slaughtering sheep when I was his age.

The young master of Huben Army

will lead the army in the future.

He has to prove himself capable.

Don't tell my brother about this.

[Episode 6]

Huai'an!

Huai'an!

Huai'an!

Huai'an!

Regarding this matter,

I can only

depend on you.

All right.

I'll do it on your behalf.

You must hang in there.

Please hang in there.

Huai'an.

Please hang in there!

Huai'an?

- Huai'an. - Xie Huai'an.

Huai'an!

Hang in there.

Where's the physician?

Why isn't he here yet?

Xiaoqing has already gone to notify him.

The physician will arrive soon.

Why did she go to notify him?

Just bring him here!

Huai'an?

Huai'an.

Hurry!

Prepare the anti-bleeding decoction.

I'll pull out the sword.

You, help me stop the bleeding.

Okay.

Can you do this?

I cannot.

Go away.

Don't stare at me.

If he can't do it, I can't do it.

Useless fools.

I'll do it.

He'll bleed a lot.

I'm not afraid.

Hang in there.

I rushed here upon hearing

that Mr. Xie was attacked.

What's the current situation?

How is Mr. Xie doing?

Guys,

why are you guys keeping quiet?

Please tell me something.

This...

You want me to head back?

I...

How am I supposed to report back?

It's all my fault.

This wouldn't have happened

had I not failed

to deliver the letter back then.

I was at the entrance just now.

I didn't dare to enter.

I was afraid that he might...

In his letter, he stated

that he would spend the rest of his life

to avenge his family.

He was ready

for a life like this.

He won't blame anyone

even if he dies in the process.

Don't be afraid.

Huai'an won't fall yet.

Young Master!

Young Master is here.

Young Master.

Uncle!

Uncle!

Father is still alive!

Hurry and find a physician!

Father.

Please don't die.

Father!

Don't leave me!

Don't leave me!

Don't leave me!

Father?

Where are we?

It was Uncle!

Uncle rescued us!

Protect your sister.

You two

must live on.

Father!

Father!

Protect your sister.

You two must live on.

Father.

Master.

I know what you guys are trying to ask.

You see,

I don't know.

What do you mean?

He won't die if he manages

to regain consciousness.

That sounds ominous.

What if he doesn't?

Great question.

His injuries are too grievous.

He has lost too much blood.

He might not wake up again.

I've already fed him the medicine I prescribed.

At least his heart can keep beating.

If he doesn't regain consciousness,

he'll age very slowly.

By the time we die,

get to old age,

or is reduced to ashes,

his hair might only turn gray by then.

Does that mean he'll be in an eternal coma?

You can say so.

He will regain consciousness.

He begged me for a favor

before he fainted.

I know.

There are many things he has yet to accomplish.

For a person like him,

if he has any unfulfilled wishes,

he'll definitely wake up and fulfill them.

Xiaoqing,

the messenger under you

is being targeted.

You have been targeted as well.

Let's investigate the case together.

I've been wearing this protective charm

for as long as I can remember.

Although I've gone through various trials,

it did keep me safe until now.

I'll hand it to you.

May you overcome this ordeal.

What does this mean?

The general sent us a letter.

He said you made a mistake.

I want to know

what Yan Fengshan thought my mistake was.

When the city fell,

your subordinates,

they failed to capture the deposed emperor.

That was one of your mistakes.

Now that your nephew has the deposed emperor with him,

there's no way he can be killed off.

You disobeyed the general's order.

Not only did you intervene personally,

but you also mobilized many of our men without permission.

You completely lost sight of the bigger picture.

And, Qingyi died because of you.

That was your second mistake.

There's no place for you in the Hidden Soldier Alley anymore.

After him!

Give it to me.

- Just let him play with it. - Give it to me!

Give it to him.

Give it to me!

Let him have it.

Sir, you're seriously wounded.

I didn't dare to hire a physician.

I only used

the Liu family's anti-bleeding mix on you.

I was fortunate.

I'm still alive.

Xingzi,

since when did you get yourself a family?

I'm a single man in my thirties.

I wasn't very careful with my money

when I had some.

Speaking of which,

Sir,

you rarely visited me all these years.

It never occurred to me that I would see you in a wounded state.

So,

is there anything important I can do for you?

Where's your carriage?

I have one.

I kept it at the marketplace's carriage house.

Can I leave the city with it?

You can.

It's fully licensed.

Take me out of the city.

Sir,

I saw that you had a travel pass with you

when I was dressing your wound.

Must I follow you?

Right now,

you're the only person I can trust.

Back then, you joined hands with me to kill my brother.

Back then, I...

I merely struck him down

as proof of my loyalty,

Sir.

I did it so that I could survive.

What poor people like us want

is to survive.

If you wish to survive,

you have to follow my command.

It's not like I'll harm you.

Am I right?

I'll go and get the carriage.

It'll take two to three days.

You have two days.

In two days,

at sunset,

at the alley to the west of Yanping Gate,

I'll wait for you there.

Okay.

Xingzi.

Once you've done me this favor,

we shall be even.

We won't see each other again

after I leave the city.

Thank you, Sir.

You're chopping firewood at night.

Don't you think it's noisy?

What's wrong?

I was just trying to help her out.

Besides,

it's not like we're at a stranger's residence.

This is

Miss Bai Wan's residence.

I'm chopping firewood for her.

What has that got to do with Miss Bai Wan?

You were being noisy by chopping firewood

at night.

What I meant was,

Miss Bai Wan was much calmer than we were

when the physician was pulling the sword out of Xie Huai'an.

Now, he needs people to tend to him.

And, Miss Bai Wan is more meticulous than we are.

Therefore, I was thinking

that I could do something like chopping firewood to help them out.

Unlike you.

You only stand here like a statue.

Say,

what's the relationship

between Bai Wan and Xie Huai'an?

That has nothing to do with you.

You should rest early.

You have to take over my shift tomorrow.

Of course it has nothing to do with me.

I know I've fallen from grace.

But back then,

I was a member of the imperial family.

Within the Capital,

among the high-ranking noble families,

I know every matter

related to them, big or small.

I even witnessed some of them.

For example,

Xie Huai'an has a younger sister.

When his sister turned one year old,

she received a birthday gift

that was very eye-catching.

It was a

Bamboo Carved Amulet.

And,

I saw it last night.

Hey, lower your voice.

What are you saying?

The siblings have been reunited.

Isn't that great?

What are you doing?

It's spilling!

That was hot!

Listen.

You'd better keep this to yourself.

If you tell anyone about it,

I'll break your legs.

Huai'an

doesn't want her to know

that she's a member of the Liu family.

He said every member of the Liu family was ill-fated.

Indeed.

And, they don't live long either.

If he doesn't make it this time...

If he passes away...

I will need to be on the run again.

Don't worry.

If anything happens to Huai'an,

I'll drag you down with him at the first time.

What has this got to do with me?

It's because you're a jinx.

He'll be fine.

Grand Preceptor already said

that he could live until the age of 83.

Grand Preceptor?

Which one?

The one who was in power when my father was still the emperor.

Cen Weizong.

Cen Weizong?

He's a renowned fortune-teller.

That's why I said his prediction will be accurate.

When did he get his fortune told?

It was when...

Ten...

I think when he was 12.

Huai'an was on the run

when he was 12.

He wouldn't have the time to have his fortune told.

Grand Preceptor told my fortune

when I was 12.

He said

I could live until the age of 83.

How could I live until 83

without Xie Huai'an's protection?

If I do live until 83,

doesn't that mean he'll be protecting me

until he's 83?

That's why Xie Huai'an can live until 83 as well.

Don't worry about it.

Here.

So bitter.

I'll accomplish

the task you assigned once it's dawn.

But I have limited capabilities.

Your revenge is executed step by step.

If you wish to seek complete revenge,

you have to wake up

and do it yourself.

What are you staring at?

There's only one bowl here.

I can't believe

that the lady only kept one bowl

and one teacup at her house.

Is he okay?

He's fine.

He's still unconscious.

I have something to do outside.

You're leaving at this moment?

Xiaoqing told me what happened.

Huben attacked you guys out of the blue.

And, it was a huge commotion.

I'm sure security in the city

will be tightened.

They won't wreak havoc again.

If you're still worried,

tell Commander Wang to send his men here to keep a secret watch.

Everything will be fine.

Okay.

Please go ahead.

I'll keep an eye on him.

You can have the noodles.

Why don't you have them?

Really?

It smells great.

In the future,

you can be my bookboy.

Or my cook.

Miss, come and take a look.

Look at all the varieties.

Let's take a look.

Please take a look.

- Excellent goods for sale. - What do you think?

How much?

This one?

It suits you.

You can have it for one wen.

It's raining!

Let's go!

Hurry up.

Please come again tomorrow.

These accessories are very pretty.

I wish to buy some after the rain stops.

Sure.

Thank you.

Miss, you've truly done me a huge favor.

These accessories aren't made with gold or jade.

I wouldn't be able to sell them out

if they were drenched.

Don't mention it.

But judging from your accent,

I don't think you're from Chang'an.

I'm not that lucky.

Both my husband and I came from Huzhou.

We operate a small business

in Chang'an to make a living.

In Chang'an,

food is expensive.

But rent is even more expensive.

It's tough to live here.

Since that's the case,

why didn't you guys return to Huzhou?

I've tried to persuade my husband for many years.

But he always told me

that we should give it a little more time.

He kept saying that.

And now,

our daughter is already six years old.

Even so, he's still unwilling to leave.

I wonder why.

Miss, what about you?

You owe someone a blood debt.

That's why you can't leave.

Miss, what do you mean?

Isn't this my daughter's bangle?

Why do you have it with you?

Head back and tell your husband this.

It's time for him to clear the debt

he owed 15 years ago.

Your daughter will return to you

once he does so.

It doesn't seem like

the rain will stop anytime soon.

Father.

Are you cold?

Yes.

If this keeps up,

you won't be able to survive.

But Father, I lost you.

Initially,

I could've saved you.

I don't want to live anymore.

Whenever you face this moment,

you have to find a reason to live.

I took my sister

out of the Grand Preceptor's Residence.

After we got out of the city,

we walked 70 li.

And, we arrived at Nanwei Trough.

It was too cold.

We were starving.

I couldn't walk anymore.

In the town,

there wasn't a single oil lamp.

There was no fire at all.

But my sister and I...

We wanted to have some hot soup.

I hid her

in a thatched hut by the roadside.

And, I left.

When I found some food

and returned to the hut,

my sister

was already taken away

by a kind-hearted individual.

She was so young.

She wouldn't have survived

had she followed me.

Perhaps she would be able to grow up safely

if she weren't a member of the Liu family.

After that,

I hid among the reeds of Nanwei Trough

and sustained myself for seven years

as I watched over her.

Her foster family

treated her kindly.

You've already done a great job.

Can you still live on?

I... I'm so worn out.

Why don't you

hang on for a little longer?

Until the next blooming season?

I just think

that my son

deserves to see the flowers bloom again.

After the blooming season,

I can wait just a little longer.

Once the falling petals and drifting rain of July end,

I can wait just a little longer.

I can wait until my spouse fixes a meal for me.

We lead a peaceful life

as we wait?

On the surface,

it seems like a good life.

It's a life of just getting by.

Father, your hands are so cold.

You were hunted down.

No matter how I tried to catch up,

I could never catch up to that carriage.

- Father! - I could only stare.

You were stabbed many times.

- Blood was everywhere. - Father!

That was my last image of you.

As a son,

from now on,

I merely live

to avenge you.

I don't want you to lead a life like this.

But I want to.

Even if I have to sacrifice everything,

I won't hesitate at all.

What should I do

if you never wake up?

Don't tell me you're already...

You'd better get out if you keep spouting nonsense like that.

I think he talked just now.

Come here.

What did he say?

I think he's trying to say

that he wants to find

his mother.

I want some water.

Water?

He wants water.

Hurry.

I'll go and get some.

How is it?

Has he regained consciousness?

He talked just now.

Yeah.

He said he wanted to find his mother,

and he wants water.

He's saying

that he wants to seek revenge.

Huai'an?

Huai'an, you're awake.

Huai'an?

Finally, my bodyguard is awake.

How long was I out?

Two days.

Be careful.

Regarding the task I told you...

Don't worry about it.

Everything has been arranged.

He hasn't left the city yet.

Good.

He hasn't left the city, huh?

That means I still stand a chance to hunt him down.

Hunt him down?

Hunt who?

Liu Ziyan.

He doesn't deserve to live until now.

Sir.

All three divinations forebode misfortune.

You're leaving the city at this hour?

I'm running an errand for the Peacekeeper Corps.

Sir, I have no choice either.

This is the official letter and travel pass.

You may pass.

Thank you, sir.

I've been getting by in Chang'an for many years.

In the end, I still have to leave this city.

What's wrong?

The carriage hit a rock.

It's dark out there.

Be careful.

If I die now,

you'll never find out

what your father

told me

before his death.

It doesn't matter.

That no longer matters

to me.

Young Master!

I had no choice either back then.

If I didn't help him out,

I would've been dead!

If I didn't stab your father,

my parents would've been killed!

I was selfish.

I was a coward.

I deserve to die!

But you see,

my daughter is innocent.

You can do whatever you want to me.

But please spare my daughter!

You've settled your debt.

You may reunite with your family.

Young Master, thank you!

Young Master, thank you for your kindness!

Thank you so much!

My dear girl.

Hurry.

Greet your father.

Father.

Sweetie, let Daddy give you a hug.

Father,

you're drenched.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Let me wipe you dry.

I thought you would kill him.

I'm different from those people.

Let's go.

Let's head home.

Okay.

Let's head home.

Let's head home.

[Dahuang]

[Liu Ziwen]

[Liu Ziwen]

[Liu Ziwen]

On the 7th day of the 12th month

in the 17th year of Qiansheng,

we encountered the body of General Liu Ziwen along the road.

Our hearts were heavy with grief.

We, mere commoners,

respecting the name

and virtue of the General,

pooled our efforts

to give him a proper burial here.

We performed the rites on behalf of future generations,

placed him in his coffin,

and interred him in his tomb, so as to comfort

the heroic spirit of the General.

Father.

So, you were here all along.

The city of Chang'an

has never forgotten about you.

Father.

I'm still alive.

My sister is alive as well.
