[A Journey To Love]

2
00:00:07,979 --> 00:00:10,970
[Episode 4]

3
00:00:12,670 --> 00:00:14,330
When you killed Lou Qingqiang yesterday,

4
00:00:14,430 --> 00:00:15,729
why did you say he was the first one?

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:19,920
He was the first one to bully and kill Ling Long

6
00:00:20,110 --> 00:00:20,920
in the branch.

7
00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:23,500
Ling Long?

8
00:00:24,190 --> 00:00:25,030
Is she...

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,290
your White Sparrow sister?

10
00:00:30,010 --> 00:00:31,820
But you shouldn't have done it at that time.

11
00:00:34,070 --> 00:00:35,630
I know better than anyone

12
00:00:35,830 --> 00:00:37,420
when is the best time to do it.

13
00:00:39,660 --> 00:00:41,050
You can't even do your job well as a White Sparrow.

14
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:43,570
I'm the best assassin.

15
00:00:43,770 --> 00:00:44,740
Except assassination,

16
00:00:45,130 --> 00:00:46,690
I'm indeed not good at other things.

17
00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:49,260
Then why would the best assassin

18
00:00:49,290 --> 00:00:51,190
do something stupid like coming back

19
00:00:51,290 --> 00:00:53,410
and exposing her martial arts skills easily?

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,600
Because Yuan Lu reminded me.

21
00:00:59,790 --> 00:01:00,870
You killed Zhao Ji.

22
00:01:01,630 --> 00:01:02,810
And he was the second one.

23
00:01:04,150 --> 00:01:07,050
I hate owing people favors.

24
00:01:08,530 --> 00:01:09,430
I see.

25
00:01:10,050 --> 00:01:11,130
Then we're even.

26
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:14,530
Now you've become

27
00:01:14,530 --> 00:01:15,530
the chief of Liudao Hall again.

28
00:01:16,510 --> 00:01:17,800
Why would you let me go?

29
00:01:19,740 --> 00:01:20,680
Because this decision has been made

30
00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:22,410
before I became the chief.

31
00:01:22,530 --> 00:01:24,740
And you've shamelessly

32
00:01:25,050 --> 00:01:26,240
given all you have.

33
00:01:26,380 --> 00:01:27,680
I'll take it as doing good deeds.

34
00:01:28,710 --> 00:01:30,230
But your biggest luck is

35
00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:32,590
your characteristics don't match

36
00:01:32,610 --> 00:01:34,710
any of the enemies of Palace of Hell or Liudao Hall.

37
00:01:35,490 --> 00:01:36,110
Otherwise,

38
00:01:37,340 --> 00:01:38,680
I wouldn't have been that kind.

39
00:01:40,860 --> 00:01:41,960
You are so soft-hearted.

40
00:01:42,750 --> 00:01:44,990
No wonder you were betrayed by someone like Zhao Ji.

41
00:01:45,810 --> 00:01:46,810
You too.

42
00:01:47,470 --> 00:01:48,920
You're a top killer,

43
00:01:49,630 --> 00:01:51,130
but you're willing to start over.

44
00:01:51,150 --> 00:01:52,650
And for a White Sparrow,

45
00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:54,710
you went to kill Liudao Hall's chief.

46
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:57,490
You're not that smart either.

47
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,050
Are you a traitor of Scarlet Guards?

48
00:02:05,370 --> 00:02:06,329
I'm nobody.

49
00:02:07,470 --> 00:02:09,070
I'm just a dead person.

50
00:02:37,130 --> 00:02:37,540
All right.

51
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,970
I hope we go our separate ways

52
00:02:41,180 --> 00:02:42,000
and never meet again.

53
00:02:43,510 --> 00:02:44,070
Then...

54
00:02:45,070 --> 00:02:45,970
can I stay?

55
00:02:47,710 --> 00:02:49,110
You want to save the emperor of Wu, right?

56
00:02:50,010 --> 00:02:51,010
In a few days,

57
00:02:51,060 --> 00:02:52,820
my internal force will gradually recover.

58
00:02:53,410 --> 00:02:54,230
Take me with you.

59
00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:56,430
I can do many things for you.

60
00:02:56,870 --> 00:02:58,320
I know a lot of things

61
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,270
in the harem and court of the State of An.

62
00:03:01,830 --> 00:03:03,490
You want to disguise yourself in the delegation

63
00:03:04,370 --> 00:03:05,920
to avoid Mr. Yue's hunt, right?

64
00:03:07,659 --> 00:03:09,560
I just want to know who Mr. Yue is.

65
00:03:10,230 --> 00:03:10,950
This person

66
00:03:11,530 --> 00:03:12,420
sold out

67
00:03:12,420 --> 00:03:14,030
Scarlet Guards' Wu Capital Branch to you.

68
00:03:14,530 --> 00:03:16,680
Only Zhao Ji and his followers

69
00:03:16,950 --> 00:03:18,870
know who Mr. Yue is.

70
00:03:19,330 --> 00:03:20,650
But most of them are dead.

71
00:03:22,690 --> 00:03:23,530
However,

72
00:03:23,860 --> 00:03:25,740
Yuan Lu and our shadow scouts have found out

73
00:03:26,130 --> 00:03:27,880
Mr. Yue is about 3 inches taller than you.

74
00:03:28,190 --> 00:03:29,080
Mr. Yue always shows up

75
00:03:29,220 --> 00:03:31,290
with a mask and a cloak.

76
00:03:32,050 --> 00:03:33,870
Mr. Yue came to Wu Capital from the State of An 3 years ago.

77
00:03:33,890 --> 00:03:35,190
Judging from Mr. Yue's martial arts skills,

78
00:03:35,610 --> 00:03:37,120
Mr. Yue is at least a Purple Emissary.

79
00:03:40,290 --> 00:03:42,080
Can you investigate one more thing for me?

80
00:03:42,970 --> 00:03:44,490
I have a very important friend,

81
00:03:44,710 --> 00:03:46,460
who was suddenly murdered a few years ago.

82
00:03:46,950 --> 00:03:48,130
But before she died,

83
00:03:48,180 --> 00:03:50,560
she just wouldn't tell me who the murderer is.

84
00:03:51,450 --> 00:03:52,590
I want to avenge her.

85
00:03:53,970 --> 00:03:54,830
You're so smart,

86
00:03:55,070 --> 00:03:57,040
and you have powerful Hell Path and Palace of Hell.

87
00:03:57,490 --> 00:03:58,070
Can you...

88
00:03:58,090 --> 00:03:58,600
No.

89
00:04:03,950 --> 00:04:05,420
I told you what I told you

90
00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:08,330
to make you owe me a favor,

91
00:04:08,730 --> 00:04:10,290
so that you can keep the secret of the delegation for me.

92
00:04:11,610 --> 00:04:12,760
As for you,

93
00:04:15,900 --> 00:04:17,290
our delegation doesn't need an assassin.

94
00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:19,590
You have too many secrets,

95
00:04:19,690 --> 00:04:20,970
and my mission is too important.

96
00:04:21,580 --> 00:04:23,260
The best way for us to get along

97
00:04:23,550 --> 00:04:24,870
is

98
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:25,970
to go our separate ways.

99
00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:36,150
By the way,

100
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,840
is Mr. Yue the third one?

101
00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:40,500
It's none of your business.

102
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:01,420
Pretty.

103
00:05:01,450 --> 00:05:03,030
Yes, of course I am pretty.

104
00:05:03,090 --> 00:05:04,350
Why are you

105
00:05:04,350 --> 00:05:05,430
either fat or old?

106
00:05:06,060 --> 00:05:06,820
It's been a long time.

107
00:05:06,820 --> 00:05:08,170
You didn't set high requirements for yourselves,

108
00:05:08,190 --> 00:05:08,770
right?

109
00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:10,940
As long as it's reasonable,

110
00:05:11,390 --> 00:05:13,650
we can tailor our uniforms.

111
00:05:13,650 --> 00:05:14,370
Why?

112
00:05:14,370 --> 00:05:15,050
Boss.

113
00:05:15,050 --> 00:05:15,980
It makes me look much better.

114
00:05:16,030 --> 00:05:17,310
Everything is ready.

115
00:05:17,310 --> 00:05:18,010
Am I pretty?

116
00:05:43,990 --> 00:05:44,720
You look pretty energetic.

117
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,140
Chief.

118
00:05:56,860 --> 00:05:58,060
Stand up. Stand up and talk.

119
00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:01,920
Boss Ning,

120
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,540
I feel guilty towards other brothers of Heaven Path.

121
00:06:05,390 --> 00:06:07,370
If it were me instead of Chai Ming

122
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,350
who protected His Majesty from the arrow,

123
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,770
they wouldn't have been left on the beach by An people

124
00:06:11,070 --> 00:06:12,240
and died in a foreign land

125
00:06:12,820 --> 00:06:14,370
with an accusation of treason.

126
00:06:18,260 --> 00:06:19,470
For the men of Liudao Hall,

127
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,220
it doesn't matter where we die,

128
00:06:21,830 --> 00:06:23,060
unless we return to our hometowns in glory.

129
00:06:29,550 --> 00:06:31,400
The mission this time is for both the people and them.

130
00:06:31,980 --> 00:06:33,140
We will clear the name of Heaven Path.

131
00:06:33,470 --> 00:06:35,720
You and Du stay in the headquarters.

132
00:06:36,010 --> 00:06:37,030
Get ready to support us at any time.

133
00:06:39,250 --> 00:06:39,720
Okay.

134
00:06:42,730 --> 00:06:43,390
Bring me wine.

135
00:06:53,730 --> 00:06:54,880
First, it's for the Heaven and Earth.

136
00:06:58,230 --> 00:06:59,299
Second, it's for our comrades.

137
00:07:06,850 --> 00:07:07,929
Third, it's for sending us off.

138
00:07:12,110 --> 00:07:12,640
Bottoms up.

139
00:07:27,140 --> 00:07:27,640
Let's go.

140
00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:35,310
[Ning Residence]

141
00:07:38,890 --> 00:07:39,430
Let's set off.

142
00:07:47,460 --> 00:07:48,160
Really?

143
00:07:48,470 --> 00:07:49,770
You didn't drink much wine, but you look weak.

144
00:07:50,170 --> 00:07:51,620
Boss caught a cold when he was in prison and tortured.

145
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:52,660
He hasn't recovered yet.

146
00:07:52,690 --> 00:07:54,070
Do you think

147
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,410
he has so many different kinds

148
00:07:55,410 --> 00:07:56,860
of women to take care of him? Just like you?

149
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,480
Boss, are you okay?

150
00:07:58,790 --> 00:07:59,370
I'm fine.

151
00:08:00,470 --> 00:08:01,430
Lu,

152
00:08:01,590 --> 00:08:02,340
don't be envious.

153
00:08:02,650 --> 00:08:04,560
I can teach you if you want to learn.

154
00:08:04,590 --> 00:08:05,900
But first,

155
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:06,640
you need to call me Master Shisan.

156
00:08:07,250 --> 00:08:07,740
No need.

157
00:08:09,310 --> 00:08:10,880
Qian. Qian.

158
00:08:11,350 --> 00:08:12,820
Prescribe some medicine for Boss Ning.

159
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,700
I only know how to cure diseases. I don't know what to do with love sickness.

160
00:08:14,730 --> 00:08:16,060
I'm afraid he's like this

161
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,100
because he doesn't want to be parted from his beautiful cousin.

162
00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:18,870
Cousin?

163
00:08:19,530 --> 00:08:20,630
Beautiful?

164
00:08:20,730 --> 00:08:21,450
Qian.

165
00:08:22,890 --> 00:08:23,900
Boss, are you okay?

166
00:08:24,610 --> 00:08:25,250
I'm okay.

167
00:08:25,860 --> 00:08:26,880
What cousin?

168
00:08:27,630 --> 00:08:29,690
Prime Minister Zhang said it himself. How could it be wrong?

169
00:08:30,370 --> 00:08:30,790
Boss,

170
00:08:31,460 --> 00:08:32,620
has Ruyi really left?

171
00:08:33,650 --> 00:08:34,210
Yes.

172
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:35,920
Did she tell you her true identity

173
00:08:35,950 --> 00:08:37,450
when she left?

174
00:08:39,420 --> 00:08:40,640
It's probably what I guessed.

175
00:08:42,110 --> 00:08:43,590
When she mentioned the 3 words,

176
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:44,750
she was very cold.

177
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,000
But when she avenged her friend,

178
00:08:47,310 --> 00:08:48,290
she was very determined.

179
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:50,130
I guess she's an abandoned pawn.

180
00:08:50,570 --> 00:08:52,630
That's why she has such complicated feelings.

181
00:08:53,290 --> 00:08:54,090
Feelings?

182
00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:56,570
What's so complicated about feelings?

183
00:08:59,340 --> 00:08:59,970
Qian Zhao,

184
00:09:00,530 --> 00:09:01,520
where is the emperor of An now?

185
00:09:02,490 --> 00:09:04,460
After he captured Xu, Cai, and Jing cities,

186
00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:05,830
his military strength reached its limit.

187
00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:07,430
After sending some soldiers to guard the cities,

188
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:09,460
he led the An army back to the capital.

189

I think he has arrived in Guideyuan by now.

190

His Majesty is also with the army.

191
00:09:13,730 --> 00:09:14,490
Okay.

192

Congratulations on your prestige

196

197
00:09:31,060 --> 00:09:31,680
Good.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

204
00:10:14,380 --> 00:10:17,310
Your Majesty, do you like the wine?

205
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,100
It's bitter and astringent.

206
00:10:19,690 --> 00:10:20,590
It's hard to swallow it.

207
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,260
Both good and evil people

208
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:25,500
are here at the national banquet of the State of An.

209
00:10:25,530 --> 00:10:26,510
It's inappropriate.

210
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:29,710
The war is over. The people won't suffer anymore.

211
00:10:30,190 --> 00:10:31,490
Even though it's inappropriate, what can you do about it?

212
00:10:32,110 --> 00:10:34,620
Maybe you need to be a guest in the State of An

213
00:10:34,650 --> 00:10:36,240
for decades.

214
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,300
You'd better get used to it as soon as possible.

215
00:10:43,380 --> 00:10:46,340
Tongguang has grown up suddenly.

216
00:10:47,620 --> 00:10:51,260
Looks like I should find him

217
00:10:51,420 --> 00:10:52,780
a noble lady as soon as possible.

218
00:10:55,010 --> 00:10:56,960
I don't think that's enough.

219
00:10:59,190 --> 00:11:00,750
This time, he made the greatest contribution

220
00:11:01,030 --> 00:11:02,750
to capturing the emperor of Wu alive.

221
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,130
Apart from finding him a beauty,

222
00:11:05,490 --> 00:11:06,410
I'm afraid

223
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,390
you should also promote him as Duke.

Let's drink.

225
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,770
It hasn't been easy for Tongguang.

226
00:11:19,940 --> 00:11:22,460
After all, half of your bloodline comes from Wu people.

227
00:11:24,110 --> 00:11:25,650
Brother, don't be ridiculous.

228
00:11:25,690 --> 00:11:29,680
Tongguang is the only child of Aunt Qingning.

229

Father has granted the royal family name to him. He's extremely noble.

230

He has no Wu people's bloodline.

231
00:11:36,670 --> 00:11:38,740

his biological father

00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,400
is a lowly paramour from Wu, right?

234
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,540
Brother,

235
00:11:46,350 --> 00:11:47,100

Why else can I come here?

251
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,400
Come out now.

252
00:12:55,590 --> 00:12:56,730

Otherwise, do you think it's that old man I miss?

261
00:13:31,660 --> 00:13:32,670
Back then, that old man

262
00:13:33,030 --> 00:13:34,590
married me

263

I just want to get this hairpin.

271

The empress of Wu loves it.

275

The harem is full of noble ladies from different tribes.

285

He wants to balance the power of the tribes.

286
00:14:35,630 --> 00:14:36,930
That's why he always said

287
00:14:37,410 --> 00:14:40,010
he misses my cousin Empress Zhaojie

288
00:14:40,810 --> 00:14:42,210

289
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,470

And she is more powerful than the empress.

00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,000
We came in a hurry this time.

375
00:19:11,020 --> 00:19:11,900
We didn't bring an imperial physician.

376
00:19:12,110 --> 00:19:12,980
Besides,

377
00:19:13,060 --> 00:19:14,440
considering the situation of the princess,

378
00:19:14,740 --> 00:19:16,820
we can't just invite a civilian doctor.

379
00:19:18,950 --> 00:19:20,220
Please forgive me, Your Highness.

380
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,020
I didn't mean to get sick.

381
00:19:34,580 --> 00:19:37,870
But I couldn't eat or sleep well along the way.

382
00:19:38,370 --> 00:19:40,710
And Chief Clerk Du and Ms. Ming would teach me every day.

383
00:19:40,930 --> 00:19:42,690
And they would force me to learn things about the State of An.

384
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,060
Then how did it go?

385
00:19:47,330 --> 00:19:48,010
Not bad.

386
00:19:49,710 --> 00:19:50,590
Nothing serious.

387
00:19:50,890 --> 00:19:52,190
I think it's the incoordination between the spleen and the stomach

388
00:19:52,190 --> 00:19:53,290
due to the bumpy ride.

389
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:55,720
That's good.

390
00:19:56,750 --> 00:19:58,270
Listen. Later,

391
00:19:58,420 --> 00:20:00,200
prescribe some medicine for Her Highness.

392
00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:00,910
Okay.

393
00:20:09,190 --> 00:20:10,960
Your Highness, I'm gonna ask you some questions as a test.

394
00:20:15,050 --> 00:20:17,190
How many princes are there in the State of An?

395
00:20:17,390 --> 00:20:18,790
What are their titles?

396
00:20:19,050 --> 00:20:19,730
3.

397
00:20:20,610 --> 00:20:22,210
One is called Xiluo...

398
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:23,240
Prince Luoxi.

399
00:20:24,350 --> 00:20:25,350
The other 2...

400
00:20:25,650 --> 00:20:26,170
are...

401
00:20:30,350 --> 00:20:31,780
I remembered them just now.

402
00:20:31,870 --> 00:20:34,410
I just can't remember them all of a sudden.

403
00:20:36,580 --> 00:20:37,090
Boss,

404
00:20:37,460 --> 00:20:38,900
didn't Qian say

405
00:20:39,330 --> 00:20:40,700
Her Highness is too tired due to the bumpy ride?

406
00:20:40,990 --> 00:20:42,690
Why don't you let Her Highness rest first

407
00:20:43,430 --> 00:20:44,310
and give her a test another day?

408
00:20:55,460 --> 00:20:55,980
Okay.

409
00:20:56,510 --> 00:20:57,420
Your Highness, since you are tired,

410
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:58,850
we should leave.

411
00:21:16,380 --> 00:21:17,630
Ding Hui, come here.

412
00:21:17,830 --> 00:21:18,240
Yes.

413
00:21:22,710 --> 00:21:23,530
Lords,

414
00:21:24,770 --> 00:21:25,770
you failed your duties.

415
00:21:26,940 --> 00:21:27,910
I'm sorry for being incompetent.

416
00:21:30,670 --> 00:21:32,630
Her Highness hasn't been feeling well lately.

417
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,770
I can't force her to learn.

418
00:21:36,350 --> 00:21:37,070
That's right.

419
00:21:37,420 --> 00:21:39,810
Her Highness is too weak.

420
00:21:39,810 --> 00:21:41,280
And she always misses the capital.

421
00:21:41,430 --> 00:21:42,730
She cries and has a fever every time she's anxious.

422
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,840
I've reminded her many times.

423
00:21:45,290 --> 00:21:47,300
But her intelligence quotient is really limited.

424
00:21:47,870 --> 00:21:50,860
Actually, Her Highness is quite smart.

425
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,270
It's just that there are so many things to learn.

426
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,080
She doesn't know where she should start.

427
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,990
Ms. Ming and I

428
00:21:58,430 --> 00:22:02,640
will try harder tomorrow to teach Her Highness.

429
00:22:03,350 --> 00:22:04,090
Yes.

430
00:22:07,850 --> 00:22:10,890
What do you plan to teach Her Highness?

431
00:22:12,110 --> 00:22:14,560
The grudges between Wu and the State of An

432
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:19,100
and the general resume of the officials above the third rank of the State of An.

433
00:22:19,900 --> 00:22:20,970
The temperament of the emperor of An,

434
00:22:20,970 --> 00:22:22,110
the situation of the harem,

435
00:22:22,110 --> 00:22:23,600
and the situations of the princes.

436
00:22:27,050 --> 00:22:27,580
That's it?

437
00:22:30,390 --> 00:22:31,060
That's all?

438
00:22:32,140 --> 00:22:33,110
You don't plan to tell her about Scarlet Guards?

439
00:22:34,170 --> 00:22:34,970
You don't plan to tell her

440
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,050
how many parties there are in the court of the State of An?

441
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:39,860
You don't plan to tell her

442
00:22:39,950 --> 00:22:41,350
what we should do if someone deliberately makes things difficult

443
00:22:41,430 --> 00:22:42,330
after we arrive in the State of An?

444
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,810
You only plan to tell her about the situations of the officials above the third rank.

445
00:22:46,940 --> 00:22:48,070
Let me remind you.

446
00:22:48,090 --> 00:22:48,980
General Zhongwu, Marquis Changqing,

447
00:22:49,010 --> 00:22:50,830
who captured His Majesty,

448
00:22:50,950 --> 00:22:52,280
is just a sub-third-rank official.

449
00:22:52,410 --> 00:22:52,970
How dare you!

450
00:22:53,250 --> 00:22:54,350
You are disrespectful.

451
00:22:54,890 --> 00:22:56,230
His Majesty just went north to hunt.

452
00:23:07,050 --> 00:23:07,550
Fine.

453
00:23:08,350 --> 00:23:09,490
Go on. What else do you plan to teach her?

454
00:23:10,060 --> 00:23:11,400
Her Majesty was worried that Her Highness can't remember all of them if we teach too many things.

455
00:23:11,530 --> 00:23:13,860
So she asked me to teach Her Highness the most important things.

456
00:23:14,150 --> 00:23:15,370
After all, the duty of Her Highness

457
00:23:15,390 --> 00:23:17,010
is just to pay the ransom.

458
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,820
Mr. Du will be responsible for the negotiation with the State of An.

459
00:23:22,770 --> 00:23:23,390
That's right.

460
00:23:24,300 --> 00:23:25,420
In the eyes of the people,

461
00:23:25,990 --> 00:23:28,200
Prince Li has been ignorant of politics since childhood.

462
00:23:29,020 --> 00:23:30,140
If she is too smart,

463
00:23:30,620 --> 00:23:32,690
it will make An people suspect her.

464
00:23:33,170 --> 00:23:34,170
If Prince Li

465
00:23:34,790 --> 00:23:36,610
is someone who easily cries,

466
00:23:37,250 --> 00:23:38,900
do you think whether An people will suspect her or not?

467
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,200
What do you plan to tell Her Highness

468
00:23:43,650 --> 00:23:45,750
about Noble Consort Chu of the State of An?

469
00:23:46,450 --> 00:23:47,170
Noble Consort Chu?

470
00:23:47,340 --> 00:23:49,160
Noble Consort Chu is Duke Chu's little sister.

471
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,610
She went into the imperial palace 3 years ago and is the emperor's favorite.

472
00:23:51,630 --> 00:23:53,160
She likes horse riding and archery, and she's good at seducing men.

473
00:23:53,180 --> 00:23:53,710
Enough.

474
00:23:55,010 --> 00:23:55,470
Thank you.

475
00:23:56,770 --> 00:23:57,370
Mr. Du,

476
00:23:58,220 --> 00:23:59,230
how do you plan to negotiate with An people

477
00:23:59,830 --> 00:24:01,830
after we arrive in the State of An?

478
00:24:02,180 --> 00:24:04,230
I will make them understand with reason and move them with emotion.

479
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,810
And of course, I'll give them the ransom.

480
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,770
If they still won't let him go

481
00:24:12,430 --> 00:24:13,710
after you do these things,

482
00:24:14,140 --> 00:24:15,760
and they even detain everyone in the delegation,

483
00:24:16,370 --> 00:24:17,350
what should we do?

484
00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:20,580
If this really happens,

485
00:24:21,420 --> 00:24:23,380
I will go straight to the court

486
00:24:23,810 --> 00:24:25,450
and criticize the emperor of the State of An for going back on his word

487
00:24:25,670 --> 00:24:28,170
in front of the officials of the State of An.

488
00:24:28,630 --> 00:24:30,500
And then I'll die calmly

489
00:24:31,830 --> 00:24:33,290
to prove my loyalty to His Majesty.

490
00:24:33,610 --> 00:24:34,190
That's right.

491
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,030
Since we left the capital,

492
00:24:37,270 --> 00:24:39,250
we've known that we may not be able to go back.

493
00:24:52,570 --> 00:24:53,260
Well said.

494
00:24:56,540 --> 00:24:57,410
Where are our rooms?

495
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,740
Go straight to the court and criticizing the emperor of An?

496
00:25:04,820 --> 00:25:06,330
He must have read too many novels. How can he do that?

497
00:25:06,580 --> 00:25:07,970
If An people want to make things difficult,

498
00:25:08,180 --> 00:25:09,250
they just need

499
00:25:09,270 --> 00:25:10,490
to put the delegation under house arrest in the posthouse.

500
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,070
None of us can get out.

501
00:25:13,660 --> 00:25:14,880
Let's make a bet.

502
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,970
After our princess arrives in the State of An like this,

503
00:25:16,970 --> 00:25:17,890
how many days will it take for them to find out her real identity?

504
00:25:17,890 --> 00:25:18,770
I think it'll take 1 day.

505
00:25:18,930 --> 00:25:20,300
Boss Ning is in charge now.

506
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:21,620
I think it'll take at least 2 days.

507
00:25:21,650 --> 00:25:22,750
An hour at most.

508
00:25:22,790 --> 00:25:24,530
This female official doesn't even respect Her Highness.

509
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:25,510
How can she teach her well?

510
00:25:27,630 --> 00:25:29,270
The princess grew up in the cold palace.

511
00:25:29,270 --> 00:25:30,370
She is so pitiful.

512
00:25:30,750 --> 00:25:31,300
Look.

513
00:25:31,340 --> 00:25:33,490
I knew you didn't ask me out because it's a simple task.

514
00:25:37,090 --> 00:25:39,220
But Prince Danyang is really cunning.

515
00:25:39,890 --> 00:25:41,200
He doesn't want Her Highness to go back,

516
00:25:41,270 --> 00:25:42,630
but he doesn't want it to be too obvious either.

517
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,980
So he asked Chief Clerk Du here.

518
00:25:45,370 --> 00:25:47,080
He is a loyal official, but is not flexible.

519
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,160
If we screw it up,

520
00:25:49,710 --> 00:25:51,170
there will be nothing we can do.

521
00:25:54,750 --> 00:25:55,650
What should we do?

522
00:25:56,590 --> 00:25:57,500
What should we do?

523
00:25:58,490 --> 00:26:00,170
We can't replace Chief Clerk Du.

524
00:26:00,330 --> 00:26:01,350
We need to think of a way as soon as possible

525
00:26:01,470 --> 00:26:03,090
to ask the empress

526
00:26:03,090 --> 00:26:04,190
to send a competent female official here.

527
00:26:04,580 --> 00:26:05,490
There is no one else.

528
00:26:06,530 --> 00:26:08,450
There are only a few competent female officials in the palace.

529
00:26:09,050 --> 00:26:10,660
Unless you want to make an excuse

530
00:26:11,330 --> 00:26:13,340
to ask Ms. Pei, your childhood sweetheart, to come here.

531
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:15,480
Well...

532
00:26:15,510 --> 00:26:16,680
But she seems to be engaged.

533
00:26:17,580 --> 00:26:18,640
It's inappropriate, right?

534
00:26:26,900 --> 00:26:28,120
Of course it's not appropriate.

535
00:26:28,710 --> 00:26:30,010
Forget it.

536
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:37,950
It'll be nice

537
00:26:37,970 --> 00:26:39,880
if a beauty

538
00:26:40,110 --> 00:26:41,350
who knows everything about the State of An

539
00:26:41,870 --> 00:26:42,600
comes to us now.

540
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:46,690
Take me with you.

541
00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:48,880
I can do many things for you.

542
00:26:52,330 --> 00:26:53,110
The first one.

543
00:26:53,690 --> 00:26:55,150
I know a lot of things

544
00:26:55,150 --> 00:26:56,130
in the harem and the court of the State of An.

545
00:26:58,870 --> 00:26:59,630
Yuan Lu,

546
00:27:00,230 --> 00:27:02,260
send a message to Jiang Qiong in the headquarters immediately.

547
00:27:02,290 --> 00:27:03,950
Ask him to strictly interrogate Zhao Ji's followers recalled.

548
00:27:04,030 --> 00:27:05,520
We must find out where Mr. Yue is.

549
00:27:05,590 --> 00:27:06,130
Yes.

550
00:27:09,420 --> 00:27:13,910
[Zhiyun Cloth Store]

551
00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:11,330
Miss, please come in.

552
00:27:11,450 --> 00:27:11,960
Xiaosi.

553
00:27:12,250 --> 00:27:13,110
We have guests.

554
00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:13,710
Okay.

555
00:27:14,090 --> 00:27:15,720
Come in, please.

556
00:27:16,420 --> 00:27:18,450
[Kaiyang Branch of Scarlet Guards]

557
00:27:22,890 --> 00:27:24,480
I've sent shadow scouts.

558
00:27:24,500 --> 00:27:25,530
My Lord, please rest assured.

559
00:27:26,190 --> 00:27:27,710
Once that person shows up,

560
00:27:28,450 --> 00:27:29,530
kill her.

561
00:27:30,230 --> 00:27:32,730
But the people of Liudao Hall have all retreated.

562
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,100
I'm worried that something might happen.

563
00:27:35,390 --> 00:27:36,360
Are you scared?

564
00:27:36,690 --> 00:27:37,670
I dare not.

565
00:27:38,370 --> 00:27:39,170
But...

566
00:27:39,270 --> 00:27:40,730
you said the person who escaped

567
00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:41,850
has All-Purpose Antidote.

568
00:27:42,550 --> 00:27:44,380
Could she be a Purple Emissary?

569
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,840
[Scarlet Guard: Yu]

570
00:27:46,110 --> 00:27:47,510
So what?

571
00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:49,970
Even if she is a Scarlet Emissary,

572
00:27:50,530 --> 00:27:52,370
she still has to die

573
00:27:52,770 --> 00:27:53,810
since she has ruined our lord's plan.

574
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:55,130
Yes.

575
00:27:58,330 --> 00:27:59,380
I'm gonna go take a look.

576
00:28:07,750 --> 00:28:10,090
Miss, what kind of silk do you want?

577
00:28:14,210 --> 00:28:14,700
Xiaosi.

578
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,410
I'm sorry.

579
00:28:18,570 --> 00:28:19,850
Our shop is closed today.

580
00:28:20,190 --> 00:28:20,980
I'm sorry.

581
00:28:23,250 --> 00:28:24,970
In every palace hall the green moss grows.

582
00:28:25,180 --> 00:28:27,100
Heaven would have grown old were it moved to emotions.

583
00:28:28,780 --> 00:28:29,550
Lord Ren,

584
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,100
you are still alive.

585
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:32,630
This is great.

586
00:28:32,660 --> 00:28:34,420
I need to send an urgent message back to the headquarters.

587
00:28:35,070 --> 00:28:35,940
Do you have a pigeon?

588
00:28:37,110 --> 00:28:37,600
Yes.

589
00:28:38,090 --> 00:28:39,770
Let me take you to the secret chamber.

590
00:28:40,530 --> 00:28:41,050
Please.

591
00:28:44,340 --> 00:28:44,900
Please.

592
00:28:55,620 --> 00:28:56,340
Who is she?

593
00:28:59,120 --> 00:28:59,980
It's you.

594
00:29:01,070 --> 00:29:01,940
You know her?

595
00:29:02,390 --> 00:29:04,400
She's the star of Lanfang Pavilion on West Street.

596
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,380
She's good at oral stunts.

597
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:07,270
Tell me.

598
00:29:07,410 --> 00:29:08,420
Why did you come here?

599
00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:10,340
Why do you have the cypher? And how do you know the code words?

600
00:29:11,390 --> 00:29:12,490
This morning,

601
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,050
a woman gave me a tael of gold.

602
00:29:15,730 --> 00:29:17,470
She asked me to learn some words from her

603
00:29:17,810 --> 00:29:18,800
and then come here.

604
00:29:23,780 --> 00:29:24,280
Oh no.

605
00:29:25,050 --> 00:29:25,830
Oh no.

606
00:29:26,530 --> 00:29:28,090
Left Emissary asked her here on purpose.

607
00:29:28,830 --> 00:29:31,520
None of us can live now.

608
00:29:31,980 --> 00:29:32,760
Left Emissary?

609
00:29:33,450 --> 00:29:34,250
Left Emissary Chen?

610
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:34,760
No.

611
00:29:36,130 --> 00:29:36,810
It's...

612
00:29:37,650 --> 00:29:40,040
It's Ren Xin, Left Emissary Ren.

613
00:29:40,060 --> 00:29:42,130
Impossible. She died long ago.

614
00:29:47,810 --> 00:29:49,400
Take me back to An Capital. Now!

615
00:29:52,060 --> 00:29:54,000
My Lord, who is Ren Xin?

616
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,170
Don't mention her name.

617
00:29:56,890 --> 00:29:58,320
We are lucky enough

618
00:29:58,390 --> 00:29:59,710
that we can go back to the State of An safely

619
00:29:59,860 --> 00:30:01,280
with these gold.

620
00:30:01,570 --> 00:30:02,720
Why are you so afraid of her?

621
00:30:03,730 --> 00:30:05,170
You've only joined Scarlet Guards for 2 years.

622
00:30:06,250 --> 00:30:08,860
Of course you don't know how scary she was.

623
00:30:10,940 --> 00:30:13,170
In the eyes of our generation of Scarlet Guards,

624
00:30:14,030 --> 00:30:15,860
she is a legend.

625
00:30:17,170 --> 00:30:17,790
Back then,

626
00:30:17,980 --> 00:30:20,170
[The young Ren Xin]

627
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,060
she was just an ordinary Scarlet Guard.

628
00:30:20,270 --> 00:30:21,690
But she made great contributions to the State of An

629
00:30:21,710 --> 00:30:23,630
as she fought against foreign enemies.

630
00:30:23,950 --> 00:30:24,790
Because of this, Commander

631
00:30:24,830 --> 00:30:26,510
promoted her as a Purple Emissary directly.

632
00:30:28,740 --> 00:30:30,320
She is the most successful assassin

633
00:30:30,350 --> 00:30:31,840
in the history of Scarlet Guards.

634
00:30:32,670 --> 00:30:34,040
As long as it's her,

635
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,840
there's nothing she can't accomplish.

636
00:30:36,670 --> 00:30:39,930
Prince Xin of Nanping and Empress Dowager Yuan of the State of Chu

637
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,120
were both killed by her.

638
00:30:42,290 --> 00:30:45,270
Later, she conquered

639
00:30:45,290 --> 00:30:47,270
the military governors of Fengxiang, Dingnan, and Baosheng

640
00:30:47,300 --> 00:30:48,400
in a row within a month.

641
00:30:49,430 --> 00:30:53,230
His Majesty personally named her Left Emissary of the headquarters.

642
00:30:55,180 --> 00:30:57,000
But why have I never heard of her?

643
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,350
She suddenly had an evil intention 5 years ago.

644
00:31:01,750 --> 00:31:03,270
She went to assassinate Empress Zhaojie.

645
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,060
After she was arrested, she burnt herself in the imperial prison.

646
00:31:06,950 --> 00:31:08,110
His Majesty was furious

647
00:31:08,650 --> 00:31:10,800
and issued an imperial edict to crush her bones.

648
00:31:10,950 --> 00:31:12,030
He also ordered everyone

649
00:31:12,070 --> 00:31:13,460
not to mention her name again.

650
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:15,950
But I never thought

651
00:31:15,950 --> 00:31:17,200
she is still alive.

652
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:32,540
What's going on?

653
00:31:45,940 --> 00:31:46,510
Yu.

654
00:31:54,580 --> 00:31:56,170
You lured me here on purpose.

655
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:58,490
I was foolish.

656
00:31:59,790 --> 00:32:01,330
You are alone in the dark.

657
00:32:01,670 --> 00:32:03,100
I am in the light and have many followers.

658
00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:05,810
You deliberately lured me out of the branch in Kaiyang.

659
00:32:06,380 --> 00:32:08,390
Then you attacked me halfway. You got me at one blow.

660
00:32:09,510 --> 00:32:11,170
Left Emissary Ren, you deserve your reputation.

661
00:32:20,870 --> 00:32:21,550
Who are you?

662
00:32:23,060 --> 00:32:24,790
I'm Yue Sanniang, a Purple Emissary of the branch in the State of Wu.

663
00:32:25,430 --> 00:32:26,990
When you were in trouble in Yaoyue Pavilion,

664
00:32:27,210 --> 00:32:29,190
I was just an ordinary Scarlet Guard.

665
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,090
I didn't have the chance to be summoned by you.

666
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,090
Since you know me,

667
00:32:33,670 --> 00:32:34,949
you should know what I'm capable of.

668
00:32:36,290 --> 00:32:36,810
Tell me.

669
00:32:37,810 --> 00:32:39,600
As the head of the branch in the State of Wu,

670
00:32:40,210 --> 00:32:41,620
why did you betray your followers

671
00:32:42,270 --> 00:32:43,710
and make 47 people of the Wu Capital Branch

672
00:32:43,730 --> 00:32:44,850
lose their lives?

673
00:32:46,150 --> 00:32:47,420
I dare not act on my own.

674
00:32:47,679 --> 00:32:48,820
This was an order from the headquarters.

675
00:32:53,030 --> 00:32:55,360
My life is in danger. Why would I lie to you?

676
00:32:55,750 --> 00:32:56,880
Last year, the Wu Capital Branch

677
00:32:57,350 --> 00:32:59,040
received 2,000 taels of gold through me

678
00:32:59,070 --> 00:33:00,830
to bribe Eunuch Hu, who serves the emperor of Wu.

679
00:33:01,570 --> 00:33:03,860
But it's 5,000 taels of gold

680
00:33:04,690 --> 00:33:05,889
on the account book of the headquarters.

681
00:33:06,610 --> 00:33:08,230
Someone in the headquarters committed corruption?

682
00:33:09,449 --> 00:33:09,949
Yes.

683
00:33:10,699 --> 00:33:11,590
A Purple Emissary in the Wu Capital Branch

684
00:33:11,630 --> 00:33:13,300
found out about this.

685
00:33:14,010 --> 00:33:15,110
The headquarters was afraid of her reporting this,

686
00:33:15,139 --> 00:33:16,719
so they ordered me to kill her.

687
00:33:17,250 --> 00:33:19,429
In order to complete the mission perfectly,

688
00:33:19,429 --> 00:33:20,870
I asked Liudao Hall for a collaboration.

689
00:33:21,430 --> 00:33:22,990
They also wanted to take this opportunity to make contributions.

690
00:33:24,150 --> 00:33:25,630
So we reached a partnership.

691
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,550
The people of Liudao Hall gave you 3,000 taels

692
00:33:31,910 --> 00:33:33,670
in exchange for the lives of 47 people.

693
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:35,920
Ms. Yue,

694
00:33:37,310 --> 00:33:39,210
that was really a good deal.

695
00:33:42,020 --> 00:33:42,830
Please forgive me.

696
00:33:45,130 --> 00:33:46,810
Don't you want to know

697
00:33:47,010 --> 00:33:48,820
who committed corruption in the headquarters?

698
00:33:49,770 --> 00:33:50,710
Will you tell me?

699
00:33:55,350 --> 00:33:56,790
As long as you spare my life,

700
00:33:56,950 --> 00:33:58,190
I'll tell you everything I know.

701
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,240
That person is...

702
00:34:12,690 --> 00:34:14,170
You can't even hold your sword steadily.

703
00:34:15,070 --> 00:34:16,810
Looks like the efficacy of the All-Purpose Antidote still exists.

704
00:34:17,210 --> 00:34:19,280
You really don't have any internal force.

705
00:34:52,510 --> 00:34:53,150
Kill her!

706
00:35:31,650 --> 00:35:32,470
Ruyi.

707
00:35:44,620 --> 00:35:46,160
Who is that person in the headquarters?

708
00:35:47,530 --> 00:35:49,070
I won't tell you.

709
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:51,860
If he can't reach me,

710
00:35:52,630 --> 00:35:54,240
he will naturally find out about you.

711
00:36:39,500 --> 00:36:41,000
You went to catch up with the princess, right?

712
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:42,390
Why are you here?

713
00:36:43,820 --> 00:36:44,940
We were worried about you.

714
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,760
So we specially came to you.

715
00:36:49,790 --> 00:36:51,400
So you've realized you need me?

716
00:36:52,460 --> 00:36:53,790
And you regret not making a deal with me?

717
00:36:55,910 --> 00:36:56,660
Anyway,

718
00:36:57,670 --> 00:37:00,410
do as you said that day.

719
00:37:00,890 --> 00:37:03,400
You teach Her Highness everything about the State of An.

720
00:37:03,770 --> 00:37:05,260
And I will help you find out

721
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:06,920
who killed your benefactor.

722
00:37:08,060 --> 00:37:08,990
I've changed the price.

723
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,320
You also need to send someone to Shengzhou

724
00:37:11,410 --> 00:37:12,300
to take my godmother

725
00:37:12,330 --> 00:37:14,350
to her parents' home in Fu County and help her settle down,

726
00:37:14,690 --> 00:37:17,100
and ensure my safety before I arrive in An Capital.

727
00:37:17,910 --> 00:37:18,510
No problem.

728
00:37:19,310 --> 00:37:21,100
But I need to check the result first.

729
00:37:21,900 --> 00:37:23,460
Before we enter the State of An,

730
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:24,860
if what you teach Her Highness

731
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:25,970
can't meet my standards,

732
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:27,560
our deal will be canceled.

733
00:37:29,430 --> 00:37:30,500
You didn't even pay the deposit.

734
00:37:31,070 --> 00:37:32,390
Do you want to get something for nothing?

735
00:37:33,310 --> 00:37:34,690
I saved your life just now.

736
00:37:34,950 --> 00:37:35,890
This is the deposit.

737
00:37:36,790 --> 00:37:38,210
And you said

738
00:37:38,580 --> 00:37:40,330
you hate owing other people favors, right?

739
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:43,550
Deal.

740
00:37:45,590 --> 00:37:46,560
But I want you to swear.

741
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:49,630
Well, you really believe this?

742
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:50,890
Yes.

743
00:37:51,650 --> 00:37:54,510
I want you to swear in the name of your brothers in Heaven Path.

744
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:57,940
Fine.

745
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,840
I, Ning Yuanzhou, Chief of Liudao Hall,

746
00:38:02,930 --> 00:38:05,120
swear in the name of my brothers in Heaven Path who died for their county

747
00:38:05,740 --> 00:38:07,380
that I will abide by my agreement with Ruyi.

748
00:38:07,990 --> 00:38:08,750
If I break my promise,

749
00:38:09,140 --> 00:38:11,330
all my brothers in Heaven Path will be in Avici forever

750
00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:13,080
and can never clear their names.

751
00:38:17,150 --> 00:38:17,760
Are you satisfied now?

752
00:38:17,830 --> 00:38:19,260
Say it again.

753
00:38:20,310 --> 00:38:21,520
My real name is not Ruyi.

754
00:38:21,790 --> 00:38:22,620
My name is Ren Xin.

755
00:38:23,150 --> 00:38:25,560
Xin as in the 10 Heavenly Stems.

756
00:38:28,940 --> 00:38:29,890
You are Ren Xin?

757
00:38:31,420 --> 00:38:31,900
Yes.

758
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:33,870
When I died 5 years ago,

759
00:38:34,190 --> 00:38:35,560
I don't think you were Deputy Chief.

760
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,720
You were just the head of Hell Path.

761
00:38:38,850 --> 00:38:40,210
Isn't Ren Xin a man?

762
00:38:40,590 --> 00:38:42,490
He's 6 feet tall and has a scar on his face.

763
00:38:43,230 --> 00:38:45,600
That's the identity I used to assassinate the empress dowager of the State of Chu.

764
00:38:46,110 --> 00:38:47,330
It was just a human skin mask.

765
00:38:47,620 --> 00:38:48,630
Liudao Hall doesn't have this kind of thing?

766
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:49,760
We have.

767
00:38:49,930 --> 00:38:51,170
Yu is very good at making them.

768
00:38:56,170 --> 00:38:56,960
Looks like

769
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:58,820
Hell Path and Palace of Hell

770
00:38:58,930 --> 00:39:01,300
are not as powerful as Zhang Song said.

771
00:39:02,070 --> 00:39:03,690
There are a lot of things you can't find out.

772
00:39:07,070 --> 00:39:08,840
I kind of regret making this deal.

773
00:39:17,230 --> 00:39:18,210
But now,

774
00:39:19,250 --> 00:39:20,010
you don't have a choice.

775
00:39:27,490 --> 00:39:28,350
Let's go, Yuan Lu.

776
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:29,000
Okay.

777
00:39:33,390 --> 00:39:35,240
Ren Xin is Ruyi.

778
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:38,600
This is great.

779
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,740
Ruyi once disguised herself as a man.

780
00:39:41,070 --> 00:39:42,810
If we ask Ruyi to teach Her Highness,

781
00:39:43,150 --> 00:39:44,690
she will definitely not give herself away.

782
00:40:00,580 --> 00:40:02,680
[Guideyuan, the State of An]

783
00:40:02,740 --> 00:40:03,840
This time, Tongguang

784
00:40:04,580 --> 00:40:05,790
captured the emperor of Wu alive.

785
00:40:06,390 --> 00:40:07,550
You made great contributions.

786
00:40:07,810 --> 00:40:08,850
You haven't been rewarded yet.

787
00:40:09,180 --> 00:40:11,190
I'm promoting you as the first-rank marquis,

788
00:40:11,550 --> 00:40:12,870
General of Yulin Guards.

789
00:40:20,620 --> 00:40:22,170
-Nice archery skills.
-Nice archery skills.

790
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,460
Congratulations on your promotion today, Marquis.

791
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:25,440
General of Yulin Guards

792
00:40:25,670 --> 00:40:27,650
is His Majesty's most trusted aide.

793
00:40:27,810 --> 00:40:28,430
Yes.

794
00:40:28,510 --> 00:40:30,530
Everyone knows that His Majesty has always treated Marquis

795
00:40:30,530 --> 00:40:31,730
like his own son, right?

796
00:40:34,860 --> 00:40:35,420
Marquis.

797
00:40:36,380 --> 00:40:37,010
An attendant of Prince Luoxi

798
00:40:37,010 --> 00:40:38,530
has the bird over there.

799
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,020
[Li Tongguang's attendant: Zhu Yin]

800
00:40:38,530 --> 00:40:39,310
He just wouldn't give it to me.

801
00:41:02,180 --> 00:41:03,440
I promoted him

802
00:41:04,270 --> 00:41:06,890
just to stimulate my 2 sons.

803
00:41:07,670 --> 00:41:08,650
Every time I went out to battle,

804
00:41:09,270 --> 00:41:11,200
these 2 boys became restless.

805
00:41:11,860 --> 00:41:13,880
Marquis Changqing is just a stone.

806
00:41:14,850 --> 00:41:16,150
I want to use him

807
00:41:16,540 --> 00:41:18,700
to sharpen the knives.

808
00:41:19,290 --> 00:41:19,930
I see.

809
00:41:20,580 --> 00:41:22,660
I asked him to be in charge of Yulin Guards

810
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,820
[Commander of Scarlet Guards: Deng Hui]

811
00:41:23,020 --> 00:41:25,600
in order to keep him in the capital.

812
00:41:26,230 --> 00:41:29,470
If not so, should I promote him as a military governor

813
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,460
to let him leave the capital and gain military power?

814
00:41:38,290 --> 00:41:40,910
Your Majesty, someone was behind the tree just now.

815
00:41:41,090 --> 00:41:42,990
It was Marquis Changqing.

816
00:41:44,070 --> 00:41:45,110
He heard it, right?

817
00:41:46,460 --> 00:41:48,410
I let him hear it on purpose.

818
00:42:00,830 --> 00:42:02,880
Jerk! You can't even retrieve a bird!

819
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:11,720
What on earth happened?

820
00:42:12,060 --> 00:42:14,050
I saw you getting angry at the servants.

821
00:42:14,070 --> 00:42:15,030
I was worried.

822
00:42:15,230 --> 00:42:16,790
So I made an excuse and came here immediately.

823
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:17,600
Nothing.

824
00:42:23,150 --> 00:42:24,010
Tell me.

825
00:42:25,240 --> 00:42:26,370
Otherwise, I'll be angry.

826
00:42:29,070 --> 00:42:30,690
He just promoted me,

827
00:42:31,540 --> 00:42:33,140
but he deliberately spoke ill of me behind my back.

828
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,150
It's nothing.

829
00:42:45,020 --> 00:42:46,670
After all, being promoted is a good thing.

830
00:42:47,380 --> 00:42:48,210
Besides,

831
00:42:49,470 --> 00:42:51,140
you need to put up with it for the moment.

832
00:42:54,630 --> 00:42:55,340
I know.

833
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:57,670
He deliberately let me hear it.

834
00:42:58,550 --> 00:42:59,930
So I had to get mad on purpose.

835
00:43:00,740 --> 00:43:02,870
If I put up with it like I did at the banquet,

836
00:43:03,410 --> 00:43:05,000
he'll be increasingly wary of me, right?

837
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:07,860
You

838
00:43:08,420 --> 00:43:10,070
are too deep.

839
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,360
If I'm not deep

840
00:43:13,090 --> 00:43:14,320
and I don't always keep a clear head,

841
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,840
how can we achieve our ambition?

842
00:43:22,830 --> 00:43:24,870
I hope you lose your mind.

843
00:43:27,660 --> 00:43:29,130
Lose your mind to me.

844
00:43:30,750 --> 00:43:31,730
Li Tongguang,

845
00:43:32,710 --> 00:43:34,600
you know I'm fascinated by you.

846
00:43:35,350 --> 00:43:36,690
But I'm not a fool.

847
00:43:37,870 --> 00:43:39,150
All this time,

848
00:43:39,930 --> 00:43:41,980
you've never wanted to get close to me.

849
00:43:48,610 --> 00:43:49,670
You think I'm dirty,

850
00:43:49,980 --> 00:43:50,760
right?

851
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:58,710
Kill her.

852
00:43:58,950 --> 00:44:00,040
Otherwise, both of us will die.

853
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:06,910
M-Marquis.

854
00:44:08,300 --> 00:44:09,000
Marquis.

855
00:44:11,020 --> 00:44:11,680
Marquis.

856
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:13,700
M-Marquis.

857
00:44:17,940 --> 00:44:18,580
Marquis.

858
00:44:22,670 --> 00:44:24,630
Marquis, please spare my life.

859
00:44:28,580 --> 00:44:29,590
Please spare my life, Marquis.

860
00:44:29,660 --> 00:44:30,350
Close your eyes.

861
00:44:30,830 --> 00:44:32,470
Don't kill me. I won't tell anyone.

862
00:44:32,620 --> 00:44:33,710
It'll be over soon.

863
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:35,480
Jiu, please spare my life.

864
00:44:44,010 --> 00:44:44,770
What did you call me?

865
00:44:45,930 --> 00:44:46,780
I'm Liu Li.

866
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,570
[Former maid in Scarlet Guards: Liu Li]

867
00:44:47,270 --> 00:44:49,690
I was with Lord and served you 9 years ago.

868
00:45:02,580 --> 00:45:03,650
[The young Liu Li]

869
00:45:09,820 --> 00:45:11,350
[The young Li Tongguang]

870
00:45:14,140 --> 00:45:15,150
Remember this humiliation.

871
00:45:15,670 --> 00:45:16,920
And you won't lose next time.
