=Episode 14=

23
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:45,700
I'm just puzzled

24
00:01:46,566 --> 00:01:48,233
why you haven't joined the Xiao Army.

25
00:01:55,766 --> 00:01:57,000
You're not young anymore.

26
00:01:57,766 --> 00:01:58,800
Retiring from battle

27
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:00,500
is understandable.

28
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:02,800
I'm no deserter.

29
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:13,300
(Xiao)
This was my son's dagger.

30
00:02:18,233 --> 00:02:19,166
I was indeed once

31
00:02:19,233 --> 00:02:20,333
a member of the Xiao Army.

32
00:02:23,766 --> 00:02:24,966
But Xiao Zhongwu

33
00:02:26,233 --> 00:02:28,366
caused my only son's tragic death,

34
00:02:28,966 --> 00:02:30,766
and my wife died of grief.

35
00:02:31,733 --> 00:02:33,933
I swore before their memorial tablets

36
00:02:36,166 --> 00:02:37,600
that I'd make the Xiao family

37
00:02:39,433 --> 00:02:40,733
suffer complete ruin.

38
00:02:42,566 --> 00:02:44,300
So you've been tracking the Xiao Army.

39
00:02:45,966 --> 00:02:46,600
Exactly.

40
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:51,400
The son shall pay for
the father's debts.

41
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,300
I followed from Yaojing to Que City

42
00:02:54,833 --> 00:02:56,600
to seek revenge against Xiao Jue.

43
00:02:58,133 --> 00:02:58,866
But I never

44
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:00,233
found the right opportunity.

45
00:03:03,866 --> 00:03:04,533
Perhaps

46
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,333
you'll get your chance soon.

47
00:03:10,566 --> 00:03:11,833
His greatest value lies in

48
00:03:12,233 --> 00:03:13,266
his knowledge of Xiao Jue

49
00:03:13,366 --> 00:03:14,900
and the Xiao Army.

50
00:03:15,833 --> 00:03:16,533
As for Lei Hou,

51
00:03:16,866 --> 00:03:18,133
he makes a convenient weapon.

52
00:03:19,133 --> 00:03:20,266
Rida Muzi and Hu Yuanzhong,

53
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:21,933
these Liehe men are ambitious wolves

54
00:03:22,266 --> 00:03:23,400
(Strong Strength)
with strong military forces.

55
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:25,733
I leaked information about them

56
00:03:25,766 --> 00:03:26,600
to him.

57
00:03:27,366 --> 00:03:28,600
He didn't disappoint me.

58
00:03:29,100 --> 00:03:29,833
He made Lei Hou

59
00:03:30,066 --> 00:03:31,400
collaborate with the Liehe tribe

60
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:32,833
to attack the garrison.

61
00:03:33,333 --> 00:03:35,333
A good utilization.

62
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:38,400
Who is this person?

63
00:03:39,233 --> 00:03:40,400
His name is Chai Anxi.

64
00:03:41,133 --> 00:03:42,633
He was once Xiao Zhongwu's deputy.

65
00:03:43,833 --> 00:03:45,566
Wasn't he supposed to be dead?

66
00:03:46,066 --> 00:03:47,900
Apart from the Xiao Army matters,

67
00:03:48,333 --> 00:03:49,600
what else did he mention?

68
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,933
Did he say anything about Mingshui?

69
00:04:01,233 --> 00:04:03,266
This man's resurrection

70
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,033
is quite suspicious.

71
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:08,833
Don't get yourself
involved in this mess.

72
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:11,566
Thank you for the reminder.

73
00:04:12,966 --> 00:04:13,800
Chai Anxi and I

74
00:04:14,166 --> 00:04:15,100
only met once.

75
00:04:15,333 --> 00:04:16,633
I soon returned to the capital.

76
00:04:16,900 --> 00:04:18,200
Later, we communicated by letters

77
00:04:18,666 --> 00:04:19,666
until Lei Hou's defeat.

78
00:04:20,033 --> 00:04:20,933
Our contact stopped.

79
00:04:21,566 --> 00:04:22,666
Is that all?

80
00:04:23,866 --> 00:04:24,566
I won't

81
00:04:25,366 --> 00:04:26,266
conceal anything.

82
00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:28,900
Forget it.

83
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,933
Clean up this mess.

84
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:33,466
Whether it's Lei Hou

85
00:04:33,866 --> 00:04:35,366
or Chai Anxi,

86
00:04:36,033 --> 00:04:37,333
eliminate them both.

87
00:04:38,733 --> 00:04:39,466
As you command.

88
00:04:40,966 --> 00:04:42,066
But the clues

89
00:04:42,133 --> 00:04:43,233
about Chai Anxi and Lei Hou

90
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:44,866
point to Xiao Jue.

91
00:04:46,533 --> 00:04:47,566
Seems I'll have to go

92
00:04:47,566 --> 00:04:48,333
to Yezhou Garrison.

93
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,800
What pretext will you use?

94
00:04:53,766 --> 00:04:55,666
Commander Xiao fought this battle well.

95
00:04:57,233 --> 00:04:58,466
He deserves rewards.

96
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:26,933
I underestimated Xiao Jue.

97
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,033
He's more cunning than imagined.

98
00:05:31,566 --> 00:05:32,100
Also,

99
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:33,633
prepare two corpses

100
00:05:33,866 --> 00:05:34,533
similar in build

101
00:05:34,566 --> 00:05:35,766
to Lei Hou.

102
00:05:36,533 --> 00:05:37,633
Since I promised Master,

103
00:05:38,266 --> 00:05:39,066
I must do it.

104
00:05:39,566 --> 00:05:40,066
Understood.

105
00:05:41,333 --> 00:05:42,433
Master's wording suggests

106
00:05:42,733 --> 00:05:44,333
he's clearly wary of Chai Anxi.

107
00:05:44,733 --> 00:05:45,466
Likely

108
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,300
Chai Anxi

109
00:05:47,333 --> 00:05:48,400
has dirt on Master.

110
00:05:50,566 --> 00:05:51,400
I'm curious

111
00:05:52,466 --> 00:05:53,300
what kind of secret

112
00:05:53,333 --> 00:05:54,966
this could be.

113
00:05:58,833 --> 00:06:02,066
(Xiao)

114
00:06:07,966 --> 00:06:08,566
Commander.

115
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:10,166
Are you available now?

116
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:12,633
Enter.

117
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:41,400
Commander.

118
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:43,033
It's repaired?

119
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,033
I said I'd thank you.

120
00:06:50,666 --> 00:06:51,700
Are you sure it's thanks,

121
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:53,100
not an apology?

122
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,300
They're basically the same.

123
00:06:57,866 --> 00:06:58,800
When you have time,

124
00:06:59,233 --> 00:07:00,233
you can test its tone.

125
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:02,233
Then I'll go train now.

126
00:07:12,566 --> 00:07:13,133
I heard

127
00:07:13,666 --> 00:07:15,133
he spent the pay he saved

128
00:07:15,533 --> 00:07:16,866
over these months on this qin.

129
00:08:04,266 --> 00:08:05,300
- The envoy!
- The envoy!

130
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,433
- The envoy!
- The envoy!

131
00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:08,733
- Wait!
- Hurry!

132
00:08:23,066 --> 00:08:23,666
Sir.

133
00:08:33,433 --> 00:08:34,133
Chu Zhao.

134
00:08:41,300 --> 00:08:41,800
Sir.

135
00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:49,766
Commander

136
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:50,666
Xiao Jue

137
00:08:50,866 --> 00:08:51,700
is an expert trainer

138
00:08:51,966 --> 00:08:53,300
and performed well against Liehe.

139
00:08:53,733 --> 00:08:54,733
I'm pleased to grant him

140
00:08:55,066 --> 00:08:55,966
a large sum of money

141
00:08:56,333 --> 00:08:57,400
as a mark of honor.

142
00:08:58,900 --> 00:09:00,033
Thank you, Your Majesty.

143
00:09:14,133 --> 00:09:15,933
You must be weary from your journey.

144
00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:17,833
I've arranged quarters for you.

145
00:09:18,366 --> 00:09:19,166
Let Feinu

146
00:09:19,433 --> 00:09:20,300
take you there.

147
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:22,233
Thank you.

148
00:09:22,833 --> 00:09:23,600
Please take

149
00:09:24,433 --> 00:09:25,733
my maidservant there first.

150
00:09:26,866 --> 00:09:28,466
Earlier, I encountered an acquaintance.

151
00:09:28,866 --> 00:09:29,733
I want to see him.

152
00:09:30,433 --> 00:09:31,066
Then

153
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,500
I'll leave you to it.

154
00:09:35,066 --> 00:09:36,366
Mr. Chu, you're too generous.

155
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:37,833
You came here.

156
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:39,400
It should be

157
00:09:39,533 --> 00:09:41,200
my duty to play host.

158
00:09:41,566 --> 00:09:42,633
I hope this simple meal

159
00:09:43,133 --> 00:09:44,233
suits your taste.

160
00:09:44,566 --> 00:09:45,066
Please.

161
00:09:48,866 --> 00:09:49,600
Mr. He.

162
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,200
Thank you.

163
00:09:53,366 --> 00:09:54,166
Word reached

164
00:09:54,333 --> 00:09:56,066
the capital that a Yezhou recruit

165
00:09:56,733 --> 00:09:58,000
crushed Liehe's spirit.

166
00:09:58,433 --> 00:09:59,066
I knew

167
00:09:59,233 --> 00:09:59,933
it must be you,

168
00:10:00,433 --> 00:10:01,533
so I took this assignment

169
00:10:01,900 --> 00:10:02,733
to visit you.

170
00:10:03,433 --> 00:10:04,066
By the way,

171
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:05,966
I heard you suffered severe injuries.

172
00:10:06,266 --> 00:10:06,966
How are you now?

173
00:10:07,966 --> 00:10:09,466
Thank you for your concern.

174
00:10:09,566 --> 00:10:10,066
I'm strong.

175
00:10:10,466 --> 00:10:11,000
I'm fine now.

176
00:10:19,833 --> 00:10:20,333
Mr. Chu,

177
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,533
you came from the capital.

178
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:23,600
Have there been

179
00:10:23,666 --> 00:10:24,700
any interesting things

180
00:10:24,766 --> 00:10:25,800
lately in the capital?

181
00:10:26,566 --> 00:10:27,800
Interesting things?

182
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:37,100
Mr. Chu?

183
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:38,600
What is it?

184
00:10:40,466 --> 00:10:40,966
Nothing.

185
00:10:45,933 --> 00:10:46,566
Mr. He,

186
00:10:46,966 --> 00:10:48,833
what kind of things
are you referring to?

187
00:10:51,266 --> 00:10:51,866
Mr. Chu,

188
00:10:52,133 --> 00:10:53,066
I hear

189
00:10:53,433 --> 00:10:54,966
there's someone in the capital

190
00:10:54,966 --> 00:10:56,866
as renowned as the Commander,
General Feihong.

191
00:10:57,533 --> 00:10:58,266
Tell me,

192
00:10:58,533 --> 00:10:59,533
what kind of person

193
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,933
is General Feihong?

194
00:11:02,333 --> 00:11:04,033
You ask the wrong person.

195
00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:05,566
I live in the capital,

196
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,066
but I'm a civil official.

197
00:11:07,433 --> 00:11:08,300
I'm not acquainted

198
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:09,400
with him.

199
00:11:13,866 --> 00:11:15,266
Then has anything unusual

200
00:11:15,766 --> 00:11:17,466
occurred recently

201
00:11:17,833 --> 00:11:19,100
in the general's house?

202
00:11:20,866 --> 00:11:22,766
Unusual?

203
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:27,366
General Feihong stopped

204
00:11:27,533 --> 00:11:28,266
wearing his mask,

205
00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:29,300
revealing his true face.

206
00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:34,300
He's peerless in martial arts,

207
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:35,300
and he is also

208
00:11:35,466 --> 00:11:36,600
strikingly handsome.

209
00:11:36,733 --> 00:11:37,600
Of course.

210
00:11:37,900 --> 00:11:38,733
The stature

211
00:11:38,833 --> 00:11:39,600
of our young master

212
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:40,400
is more imposing.

213
00:11:40,866 --> 00:11:42,000
It's just the Mingshui Battle

214
00:11:42,166 --> 00:11:43,166
weakened him,

215
00:11:43,666 --> 00:11:45,266
forcing him to recuperate at home

216
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:46,166
and decline visitors

217
00:11:46,433 --> 00:11:47,533
and keeping him

218
00:11:47,833 --> 00:11:48,933
from greater feats.

219
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:53,500
Get out!

220
00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:00,000
Rufei.

221
00:12:00,366 --> 00:12:02,600
Why this outburst?

222
00:12:03,366 --> 00:12:04,866
She's already dead.

223
00:12:05,533 --> 00:12:08,066
Why does she still haunt me?

224
00:12:08,833 --> 00:12:10,566
I am clearly He Rufei.

225
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:13,233
I am the true General Feihong.

226
00:12:21,866 --> 00:12:23,066
General Feihong

227
00:12:23,366 --> 00:12:24,500
is truly loyal and devoted.

228
00:12:24,733 --> 00:12:25,666
He's a good brother.

229
00:12:26,166 --> 00:12:27,833
He often visits
the Yuhua Temple to light

230
00:12:28,166 --> 00:12:29,633
eternal lamps for his dead sister.

231
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,133
How loyal and devoted

232
00:12:36,166 --> 00:12:37,233
General Feihong is.

233
00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:42,966
Mr. He, why are you so interested

234
00:12:43,066 --> 00:12:43,966
in General Feihong?

235
00:12:47,466 --> 00:12:49,166
He is a role model for our generation,

236
00:12:49,566 --> 00:12:50,633
so I admire him.

237
00:12:52,833 --> 00:12:54,666
Though you serve under Commander Xiao,

238
00:12:54,866 --> 00:12:56,400
you admire General Feihong.

239
00:12:56,833 --> 00:12:57,433
Don't you think

240
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,033
Commander Xiao might feel displeased

241
00:12:59,133 --> 00:12:59,733
if he knows?

242
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:02,166
Our commander

243
00:13:02,366 --> 00:13:03,066
is magnanimous.

244
00:13:04,833 --> 00:13:06,233
Then let me toast you

245
00:13:06,666 --> 00:13:07,500
with this wine.

246
00:13:15,766 --> 00:13:16,633
Mr. He.

247
00:13:16,666 --> 00:13:17,300
Yeah.

248
00:13:31,733 --> 00:13:32,233
Huaijin,

249
00:13:32,733 --> 00:13:33,600
where did

250
00:13:33,633 --> 00:13:34,166
Miss He go?

251
00:13:35,900 --> 00:13:37,033
She's drinking with Chu Zhao.

252
00:13:37,833 --> 00:13:38,533
You know it?

253
00:13:39,766 --> 00:13:41,566
I didn't expect you to care so much

254
00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:42,766
about Miss He.

255
00:13:46,466 --> 00:13:47,100
Listen, Huaijin,

256
00:13:47,666 --> 00:13:48,800
that's Chu Zhao!

257
00:13:49,433 --> 00:13:50,566
Aren't you worried at all?

258
00:13:52,366 --> 00:13:53,200
Is he that awesome?

259
00:13:55,433 --> 00:13:56,533
Although Chu Zhao

260
00:13:56,533 --> 00:13:58,033
serves under Xu Jingfu,

261
00:13:58,466 --> 00:13:59,466
objectively speaking,

262
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,733
he's truly talented

263
00:14:02,233 --> 00:14:03,600
and gentlemanly.

264
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:04,766
Miss He

265
00:14:04,966 --> 00:14:06,266
usually encounters burly men

266
00:14:06,466 --> 00:14:08,066
in the military camp.

267
00:14:08,700 --> 00:14:10,600
Though someone is decent-looking,

268
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:14,500
he is

269
00:14:14,566 --> 00:14:16,266
expressionless all day.

270
00:14:17,266 --> 00:14:18,200
In my opinion,

271
00:14:18,533 --> 00:14:19,400
Miss He might

272
00:14:20,066 --> 00:14:22,133
get snatched away

273
00:14:22,166 --> 00:14:23,266
by that heartthrob Chu Zhao.

274
00:14:29,466 --> 00:14:29,966
What?

275
00:14:30,466 --> 00:14:31,400
Going to see Miss He?

276
00:14:33,333 --> 00:14:34,166
Don't block my light.

277
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,166
Fine, fine.

278
00:14:37,333 --> 00:14:38,766
Keep pretending to be indifferent.

279
00:14:58,100 --> 00:14:59,633
Mr. Chu.

280
00:15:00,100 --> 00:15:00,733
Yeah.

281
00:15:01,233 --> 00:15:02,433
People say

282
00:15:03,166 --> 00:15:04,666
blood ties

283
00:15:04,833 --> 00:15:06,233
are the hardest to sever.

284
00:15:07,666 --> 00:15:08,933
Do you think

285
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:10,233
that's true?

286
00:15:13,300 --> 00:15:14,166
If that's true,

287
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:15,200
why do we

288
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:16,833
even have

289
00:15:16,966 --> 00:15:18,333
a story like Cain and Abel?

290
00:15:22,133 --> 00:15:22,733
(Mother,)

291
00:15:23,066 --> 00:15:24,533
(I learned a new song.)

292
00:15:24,666 --> 00:15:25,566
Let me sing it for you.

293
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,200
Little birds fly,

294
00:15:29,466 --> 00:15:30,733
streams giggle,

295
00:15:30,866 --> 00:15:32,666
- fish chase...
- Who let you in?

296
00:15:36,300 --> 00:15:36,833
Father.

297
00:15:37,733 --> 00:15:39,000
I finished my studies.

298
00:15:39,300 --> 00:15:40,966
Today is Mother's birthday.

299
00:15:41,100 --> 00:15:42,833
I just wanted to celebrate her.

300
00:15:44,466 --> 00:15:46,166
As the He family's eldest son,

301
00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:48,100
don't indulge in feminine affairs.

302
00:15:48,533 --> 00:15:50,033
Have you memorized

303
00:15:50,466 --> 00:15:51,300
the Virtue chapter?

304
00:15:52,166 --> 00:15:53,566
A nobleman's virtue

305
00:15:54,266 --> 00:15:55,366
requires utmost sincerity,

306
00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:56,633
righteousness,

307
00:15:57,666 --> 00:15:58,400
and...

308
00:15:59,066 --> 00:15:59,633
and...

309
00:15:59,833 --> 00:16:00,700
Recite like this

310
00:16:00,866 --> 00:16:02,133
and claim your studies are done?

311
00:16:02,433 --> 00:16:03,133
Useless!

312
00:16:15,166 --> 00:16:15,733
Mr. He,

313
00:16:18,066 --> 00:16:19,900
this song should be light and cheerful,

314
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:21,000
but your rendition

315
00:16:21,533 --> 00:16:22,633
sounds so sorrowful.

316
00:16:27,233 --> 00:16:29,266
You've heard this song, too?

317
00:16:30,566 --> 00:16:31,200
Long ago,

318
00:16:32,266 --> 00:16:33,600
my mother often hummed it.

319
00:16:36,533 --> 00:16:38,166
My poor execution

320
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,733
fails to capture

321
00:16:41,066 --> 00:16:43,100
its carefree essence.

322
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,266
Mr. Chu, cheers.

323
00:16:44,466 --> 00:16:45,333
Let's drink.

324
00:16:52,866 --> 00:16:53,366
Come on.

325
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:54,700
Let's keep drinking.

326
00:16:57,933 --> 00:16:58,433
Mr. He.

327
00:16:58,900 --> 00:16:59,466
He...

328
00:17:03,300 --> 00:17:04,633
You were born free-spirited.

329
00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:06,533
Why do you say such despondent words?

330
00:17:07,733 --> 00:17:08,800
If something troubles you,

331
00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:11,566
I'll be here to listen.

332
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:14,133
Mr. Chu.

333
00:17:14,566 --> 00:17:15,866
Why would you say that?

334
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:23,800
I...

335
00:17:24,766 --> 00:17:25,500
He Yan.

336
00:17:26,866 --> 00:17:28,200
I am He Yan.

337
00:17:29,333 --> 00:17:30,400
I was born

338
00:17:30,466 --> 00:17:31,600
to roam free in vast seas

339
00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:33,533
and soar across endless skies.

340
00:17:34,266 --> 00:17:35,933
No longer confined by cages.

341
00:17:44,066 --> 00:17:44,566
Come on.

342
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:45,466
Mr. Chu.

343
00:17:49,933 --> 00:17:50,566
Mr. Chu.

344
00:17:51,133 --> 00:17:51,933
I hear

345
00:17:52,666 --> 00:17:53,966
near Yezhou Garrison

346
00:17:54,266 --> 00:17:55,466
lies Mount Baiyue.

347
00:17:55,900 --> 00:17:57,800
Its scenery is breathtaking.

348
00:17:58,100 --> 00:17:58,600
Come on!

349
00:17:58,866 --> 00:18:00,133
Let's drink wine together

350
00:18:00,133 --> 00:18:01,133
while admiring the moon.

351
00:18:01,233 --> 00:18:01,800
Mr. He.

352
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:02,333
Let's go.

353
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:03,300
You're drunk.

354
00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:04,000
Let's go back.

355
00:18:04,166 --> 00:18:04,666
Mount Baiyue

356
00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:05,900
won't go anywhere.

357
00:18:06,666 --> 00:18:07,600
Mr. Chu.

358
00:18:07,666 --> 00:18:09,033
I'm not drunk.

359
00:18:09,366 --> 00:18:09,966
Come on!

360
00:18:10,333 --> 00:18:10,933
Mr. He.

361
00:18:17,266 --> 00:18:17,900
Commander Xiao.

362
00:18:18,766 --> 00:18:19,400
Perfect timing.

363
00:18:19,866 --> 00:18:20,733
Mr. He and I are going

364
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:22,400
to Mount Baiyue
to drink in the moonlight.

365
00:18:23,133 --> 00:18:23,866
Care to join us?

366
00:18:25,266 --> 00:18:25,800
Right.

367
00:18:26,266 --> 00:18:27,166
To Mount Baiyue.

368
00:18:27,233 --> 00:18:27,900
I...

369
00:18:38,366 --> 00:18:39,433
Mr. Chu, if you want,

370
00:18:39,766 --> 00:18:40,500
you may go alone.

371
00:18:41,300 --> 00:18:42,000
I'll take He Yan

372
00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:44,366
back to sober up.

373
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,200
Where are we going?

374
00:18:48,433 --> 00:18:50,700
I want to go
to Mount Baiyue for a drink.

375
00:18:52,733 --> 00:18:53,933
Put me down.

376
00:19:01,633 --> 00:19:02,166
This...

377
00:19:02,466 --> 00:19:03,633
Where am I?

378
00:19:04,233 --> 00:19:05,166
Let me go!

379
00:19:05,233 --> 00:19:07,333
I want to see the moon at Mount Baiyue!

380
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,200
Not drunk yet. I can still drink.

381
00:19:15,666 --> 00:19:16,500
Mr. Chu.

382
00:19:16,633 --> 00:19:17,266
Come on.

383
00:19:17,533 --> 00:19:18,233
Drink.

384
00:19:18,666 --> 00:19:19,700
Here, drink up.

385
00:19:28,133 --> 00:19:29,666
You and Chu Zhao get along well.

386
00:19:31,666 --> 00:19:32,200
Right.

387
00:19:32,766 --> 00:19:33,366
I...

388
00:19:33,766 --> 00:19:35,366
I want to see the moon.

389
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,900
I want to see the moon.

390
00:19:39,433 --> 00:19:40,100
More wine here.

391
00:19:53,766 --> 00:19:54,266
Uncle,

392
00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:55,833
I knew you'd go to snatch her away.

393
00:19:56,266 --> 00:19:56,933
This...

394
00:19:56,933 --> 00:19:57,433
Give me.

395
00:20:07,900 --> 00:20:08,433
Huaijin,

396
00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:09,600
you can't even

397
00:20:09,700 --> 00:20:10,233
pull her away

398
00:20:10,333 --> 00:20:11,400
when she's drunk?

399
00:20:11,766 --> 00:20:13,066
Is it her injuries

400
00:20:13,366 --> 00:20:14,266
holding you back?

401
00:20:17,766 --> 00:20:19,033
You don't let me drink

402
00:20:19,533 --> 00:20:21,666
because I can't recite
the Virtue chapter?

403
00:20:25,533 --> 00:20:26,233
Father.

404
00:20:26,766 --> 00:20:27,900
I can recite it.

405
00:20:28,533 --> 00:20:29,033
Father?

406
00:20:29,233 --> 00:20:29,900
How exciting!

407
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:35,633
What did you call me?

408
00:20:37,066 --> 00:20:38,700
A nobleman's virtue

409
00:20:39,233 --> 00:20:40,566
requires utmost sincerity,

410
00:20:40,966 --> 00:20:42,200
righteousness,

411
00:20:42,633 --> 00:20:44,000
and compassion.

412
00:20:44,566 --> 00:20:47,200
Cultivate your virtue
before your character.

413
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:49,700
Virtue enlightens the mind.

414
00:20:49,933 --> 00:20:52,666
Then set your purpose,

415
00:20:52,933 --> 00:20:54,933
unshaken by external things.

416
00:20:56,666 --> 00:20:57,333
How's that?

417
00:20:57,500 --> 00:20:58,766
Father, I'm good, right?

418
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:00,733
First time seeing

419
00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:01,766
a woman

420
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:02,600
calling you father.

421
00:21:03,433 --> 00:21:04,700
What's it feel like?

422
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:05,500
Your daughter

423
00:21:05,533 --> 00:21:06,466
recites texts well.

424
00:21:06,733 --> 00:21:07,633
Quite clever indeed.

425
00:21:07,966 --> 00:21:08,733
- If I...
- Shut up.

426
00:21:10,166 --> 00:21:11,900
Father, you told me to shut up

427
00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:14,433
because I didn't recite it well enough?

428
00:21:15,566 --> 00:21:16,666
I'm not your father.

429
00:21:20,333 --> 00:21:21,200
Father,

430
00:21:22,433 --> 00:21:24,533
you want to disown me?

431
00:21:24,966 --> 00:21:25,533
Father,

432
00:21:25,933 --> 00:21:27,166
I've been working so hard.

433
00:21:27,533 --> 00:21:28,733
I've never brought

434
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:29,633
shame to our family.

435
00:21:30,466 --> 00:21:31,133
Father.

436
00:21:32,233 --> 00:21:33,133
Father.

437
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:35,033
It seems when Miss He was at home,

438
00:21:35,433 --> 00:21:36,800
her father was extremely strict.

439
00:21:37,366 --> 00:21:38,433
That's why even when drunk,

440
00:21:38,466 --> 00:21:39,966
she still craves her father's praise.

441
00:21:40,866 --> 00:21:41,700
If you ask me,

442
00:21:41,966 --> 00:21:43,300
just praise her already, Huaijin.

443
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:44,400
Better yet,

444
00:21:44,766 --> 00:21:45,633
give her a reward.

445
00:21:47,133 --> 00:21:47,800
A reward?

446
00:21:53,433 --> 00:21:53,933
Father,

447
00:21:54,366 --> 00:21:56,166
other classmates get rewards

448
00:21:56,233 --> 00:21:57,266
after being praised.

449
00:21:57,633 --> 00:21:58,300
Do I?

450
00:22:00,133 --> 00:22:01,233
What reward do you want?

451
00:22:14,533 --> 00:22:15,200
Not this.

452
00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:18,200
Give me.

453
00:22:19,333 --> 00:22:20,366
Why so harsh?

454
00:22:20,466 --> 00:22:21,466
Don't scare Miss He.

455
00:22:22,166 --> 00:22:23,333
By the way,

456
00:22:23,733 --> 00:22:24,666
she's got good taste.

457
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:25,966
She immediately picked

458
00:22:25,966 --> 00:22:27,033
your most treasured thing.

459
00:22:30,166 --> 00:22:31,133
Have you seen enough?

460
00:22:32,633 --> 00:22:34,033
Don't. I'm here.

461
00:22:36,666 --> 00:22:37,400
Miss He,

462
00:22:37,766 --> 00:22:38,866
do you like this pendant?

463
00:22:39,566 --> 00:22:40,633
Yes.

464
00:22:41,466 --> 00:22:42,533
Then do you like Chu Zhao?

465
00:22:44,100 --> 00:22:46,166
Chu Zhao...

466
00:22:46,366 --> 00:22:47,000
Cheng Lisu.

467
00:22:48,466 --> 00:22:49,700
I'm doing this for your sake.

468
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:51,533
Miss He,

469
00:22:51,900 --> 00:22:52,933
another question.

470
00:22:53,233 --> 00:22:54,300
Do you like Xiao Jue?

471
00:22:56,700 --> 00:22:57,333
Cheng Lisu!

472
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:58,600
Fine. Got it.

473
00:22:58,766 --> 00:22:59,366
I'll shut up.

474
00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:00,066
I'm leaving.

475
00:23:00,266 --> 00:23:01,533
You... seize your chance.

476
00:23:12,266 --> 00:23:13,400
Yes.

477
00:23:17,166 --> 00:23:17,866
You like...

478
00:23:18,700 --> 00:23:19,233
what?

479
00:23:21,666 --> 00:23:22,566
Medicine.

480
00:23:24,933 --> 00:23:25,500
Waist?

481
00:23:43,766 --> 00:23:44,866
Has Lei Hou been

482
00:23:45,466 --> 00:23:46,033
found?

483
00:23:46,566 --> 00:23:48,166
Our scouts recently reported

484
00:23:48,433 --> 00:23:48,966
the two

485
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,066
headed towards Que City.

486
00:23:50,266 --> 00:23:51,666
Probably returning to Wutuo.

487
00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:53,033
Recall the scouts.

488
00:23:53,333 --> 00:23:54,066
No need to follow.

489
00:23:54,566 --> 00:23:55,066
Also,

490
00:23:55,566 --> 00:23:56,600
send back

491
00:23:56,633 --> 00:23:57,333
the two corpses

492
00:23:57,566 --> 00:23:58,833
as proof of completion.

493
00:23:59,566 --> 00:24:00,166
Tell Master

494
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:01,900
the Lei brothers are dead.

495
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:04,100
Young Master,

496
00:24:04,333 --> 00:24:05,366
will he believe this?

497
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,000
The Lei brothers

498
00:24:07,100 --> 00:24:08,700
are just expendable pawns.

499
00:24:09,333 --> 00:24:10,533
Master won't care.

500
00:24:11,766 --> 00:24:12,600
Chai Anxi

501
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:14,933
is the real priority.

502
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,633
But Chai Anxi cut contact himself,

503
00:24:18,100 --> 00:24:19,166
meaning he intends to hide.

504
00:24:19,466 --> 00:24:20,133
Tracking him down

505
00:24:20,266 --> 00:24:21,533
might take considerable time.

506
00:24:22,066 --> 00:24:23,866
Xiao Jue must be investigating this too.

507
00:24:24,433 --> 00:24:24,966
We can hardly

508
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,033
outpace him.

509
00:24:26,433 --> 00:24:27,466
Why not let it be?

510
00:24:27,833 --> 00:24:29,000
If we closely watch Xiao Jue,

511
00:24:29,133 --> 00:24:30,500
we'll find Chai Anxi eventually.

512
00:24:31,266 --> 00:24:31,966
If Xiao Jue

513
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,466
finds Chai Anxi first,

514
00:24:34,066 --> 00:24:35,133
we'll lose the initiative.

515
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,500
But Xiao Jue's position

516
00:24:37,966 --> 00:24:39,433
limits his freedom of action.

517
00:24:39,966 --> 00:24:41,400
We can seize opportunities

518
00:24:41,733 --> 00:24:43,200
and find Chai Anxi before he does.

519
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,333
What about Miss He?

520
00:24:45,366 --> 00:24:46,266
Should we watch her?

521
00:24:46,966 --> 00:24:48,166
She's close to Xiao Jue

522
00:24:48,466 --> 00:24:49,800
and likely knows a lot.

523
00:24:50,333 --> 00:24:50,933
No need.

524
00:24:51,700 --> 00:24:52,400
She's invited me

525
00:24:52,433 --> 00:24:53,866
to drink in Mount Baiyue.

526
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:56,433
I'll try

527
00:24:56,866 --> 00:24:58,133
to get information out of her.

528
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:44,666
Enter.

529
00:25:48,433 --> 00:25:49,000
You're awake?

530
00:25:51,466 --> 00:25:52,566
You reek of alcohol.

531
00:25:52,866 --> 00:25:53,400
Here.

532
00:25:53,566 --> 00:25:54,233
I

533
00:25:54,333 --> 00:25:55,566
prepared hangover soup for you.

534
00:25:56,066 --> 00:25:56,600
Thank you.

535
00:25:57,533 --> 00:25:58,266
Seems you are

536
00:25:58,333 --> 00:25:59,400
fond of this jade pendant.

537
00:25:59,766 --> 00:26:00,766
Still clutching it now.

538
00:26:03,233 --> 00:26:03,933
Mr. Cheng,

539
00:26:04,666 --> 00:26:06,533
I didn't do anything inappropriate

540
00:26:06,566 --> 00:26:07,566
last night, did I?

541
00:26:07,766 --> 00:26:08,666
Of course not.

542
00:26:08,733 --> 00:26:09,633
You behaved well.

543
00:26:10,966 --> 00:26:12,000
You just let Huaijin

544
00:26:12,133 --> 00:26:12,866
experience

545
00:26:12,966 --> 00:26:14,400
how it feels to be a father

546
00:26:14,533 --> 00:26:15,566
and have a good daughter

547
00:26:15,633 --> 00:26:16,466
at such a young age.

548
00:26:18,633 --> 00:26:19,500
Father.

549
00:26:20,133 --> 00:26:21,066
I'm not your father.

550
00:26:21,566 --> 00:26:22,233
You remember now?

551
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:26,200
Hold it tight.

552
00:26:27,066 --> 00:26:27,766
This is the reward

553
00:26:27,766 --> 00:26:28,466
after you recited

554
00:26:28,766 --> 00:26:30,166
the Virtue chapter.

555
00:26:31,166 --> 00:26:32,000
Reward?

556
00:26:36,633 --> 00:26:37,800
I snatched this, didn't I?

557
00:26:39,266 --> 00:26:39,766
Miss He,

558
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:40,900
you're amazing.

559
00:26:41,266 --> 00:26:42,133
After all these years,

560
00:26:42,500 --> 00:26:43,533
this is the first time

561
00:26:43,633 --> 00:26:44,266
I've seen him

562
00:26:44,433 --> 00:26:45,133
in such a state.

563
00:26:45,733 --> 00:26:46,566
Having

564
00:26:46,633 --> 00:26:47,866
his most precious thing taken

565
00:26:47,966 --> 00:26:49,100
and having to hold the bag.

566
00:26:50,166 --> 00:26:51,166
His most precious thing?

567
00:26:54,166 --> 00:26:54,966
Don't tell me

568
00:26:55,966 --> 00:26:56,900
I actually

569
00:26:58,100 --> 00:26:59,100
took liberties with him?

570
00:26:59,300 --> 00:27:00,100
Of course not.

571
00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:01,000
What's wrong with you?

572
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,633
Huaijin is...

573
00:27:06,866 --> 00:27:08,233
I'm talking about this pendant.

574
00:27:09,966 --> 00:27:10,733
This jade pendant

575
00:27:10,933 --> 00:27:12,266
was originally black and white,

576
00:27:12,766 --> 00:27:14,033
part of my grandaunt's dowry.

577
00:27:14,666 --> 00:27:15,233
Later,

578
00:27:15,533 --> 00:27:17,233
she had it split into two pieces

579
00:27:17,866 --> 00:27:18,800
and gave the white piece

580
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:19,833
to his elder brother

581
00:27:20,300 --> 00:27:21,733
and the black one to Huaijin.

582
00:27:23,266 --> 00:27:23,966
I've heard

583
00:27:24,366 --> 00:27:25,433
his brother's piece

584
00:27:25,666 --> 00:27:27,000
is now with his sister-in-law.

585
00:27:27,733 --> 00:27:28,966
Then Huaijin's piece...

586
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:31,400
Oh no, oh no.

587
00:27:31,933 --> 00:27:32,466
Last time,

588
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:33,500
I destroyed his qin.

589
00:27:33,733 --> 00:27:34,400
This time, I took

590
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:35,733
his future wife's pendant.

591
00:27:36,700 --> 00:27:37,800
I must return it!

592
00:27:39,166 --> 00:27:40,000
Your soup!

593
00:27:40,066 --> 00:27:40,800
You eat it!

594
00:27:43,133 --> 00:27:44,766
I'm doing good things

595
00:27:45,166 --> 00:27:47,066
without seeking glory.

596
00:28:06,233 --> 00:28:07,000
Morning, Commander.

597
00:28:15,166 --> 00:28:15,700
Commander.

598
00:28:20,966 --> 00:28:22,433
Are you attending to

599
00:28:23,133 --> 00:28:23,866
your duties?

600
00:28:25,633 --> 00:28:26,333
Get to the point.

601
00:28:28,733 --> 00:28:29,233
Yeah.

602
00:28:31,700 --> 00:28:32,466
Commander,

603
00:28:32,466 --> 00:28:33,500
last night,

604
00:28:33,700 --> 00:28:35,366
I was drunk. Completely wasted.

605
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:36,533
So

606
00:28:36,700 --> 00:28:37,533
everything I said

607
00:28:37,766 --> 00:28:39,166
was pure nonsense.

608
00:28:39,533 --> 00:28:40,866
I shouldn't call you father

609
00:28:41,233 --> 00:28:42,700
or take your belongings.

610
00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:46,033
Commander,

611
00:28:46,300 --> 00:28:47,300
please be magnanimous

612
00:28:47,633 --> 00:28:48,633
and spare me this time.

613
00:28:48,966 --> 00:28:50,466
You're like my second parent.

614
00:28:52,500 --> 00:28:53,033
No.

615
00:28:53,766 --> 00:28:54,600
No.

616
00:28:54,766 --> 00:28:55,600
I mean

617
00:28:56,266 --> 00:28:57,466
your grace rebuilds my life.

618
00:28:58,566 --> 00:28:59,166
Commander,

619
00:28:59,566 --> 00:29:00,400
Mr. Chu has come.

620
00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:04,366
Let him in.

621
00:29:09,966 --> 00:29:10,900
Drink less.

622
00:29:11,433 --> 00:29:12,100
You're part

623
00:29:12,133 --> 00:29:12,966
of the battalion.

624
00:29:13,633 --> 00:29:14,933
Calling me like that

625
00:29:17,133 --> 00:29:17,833
is bad enough.

626
00:29:18,733 --> 00:29:19,466
Don't lose face

627
00:29:19,933 --> 00:29:20,700
in front of others.

628
00:29:21,333 --> 00:29:21,833
Yeah.

629
00:29:27,233 --> 00:29:27,866
Commander Xiao.

630
00:29:29,333 --> 00:29:29,866
Mr. He.

631
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:32,333
Mr. Chu.

632
00:29:34,366 --> 00:29:35,066
What brings

633
00:29:35,466 --> 00:29:36,133
you here?

634
00:29:36,466 --> 00:29:37,700
I came for Mr. He.

635
00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:39,400
I couldn't find him

636
00:29:39,433 --> 00:29:40,066
in his quarters.

637
00:29:40,533 --> 00:29:42,000
Then I heard he was with you,

638
00:29:42,366 --> 00:29:44,200
so I came to visit.

639
00:29:45,933 --> 00:29:46,666
I never thought

640
00:29:46,933 --> 00:29:48,400
you were the impatient type.

641
00:29:50,966 --> 00:29:53,166
After all, Mr. He and I go way back.

642
00:29:56,100 --> 00:29:56,700
Is that so?

643
00:29:57,266 --> 00:29:58,666
You're here for me, Mr. Chu?

644
00:29:59,133 --> 00:29:59,666
Yes.

645
00:30:00,266 --> 00:30:01,966
After hearing you describe Mount Baiyue,

646
00:30:02,133 --> 00:30:03,400
I became quite enamored.

647
00:30:03,666 --> 00:30:05,166
Pity our plan fell through last night.

648
00:30:05,700 --> 00:30:07,400
Will you have time tonight

649
00:30:07,566 --> 00:30:08,366
to go there with me?

650
00:30:08,766 --> 00:30:09,466
No problem.

651
00:30:12,933 --> 00:30:13,433
Commander.

652
00:30:13,566 --> 00:30:14,466
I'll take my leave now.

653
00:30:45,933 --> 00:30:46,500
Commander.

654
00:30:49,300 --> 00:30:50,300
We found Chai Anxi.

655
00:30:53,366 --> 00:30:54,200
Traces of Chai Anxi

656
00:30:54,266 --> 00:30:55,266
were found in Jiyang.

657
00:30:58,233 --> 00:30:58,733
Yingxiang.

658
00:30:59,300 --> 00:30:59,833
Pack up.

659
00:31:00,100 --> 00:31:00,800
Let's depart now.

660
00:31:01,566 --> 00:31:02,833
We'll kill him before Xiao Jue

661
00:31:03,266 --> 00:31:04,100
arrives.

662
00:31:04,433 --> 00:31:04,966
Understood.

663
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:08,600
Young Master.

664
00:31:09,066 --> 00:31:10,500
Are you writing to Chancellor Xu?

665
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:11,500
No.

666
00:31:12,066 --> 00:31:13,133
This is for Miss He.

667
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:14,666
I need to write her

668
00:31:15,166 --> 00:31:16,066
an apology

669
00:31:16,533 --> 00:31:17,400
for breaking my word.

670
00:31:19,466 --> 00:31:20,566
Shall I send someone

671
00:31:20,666 --> 00:31:21,666
to Mount Baiyue

672
00:31:22,133 --> 00:31:23,033
to deliver it to her

673
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:24,600
in case she waits?

674
00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:26,400
I'll hand this letter to Xiao Jue

675
00:31:26,733 --> 00:31:27,766
when I bid him farewell

676
00:31:28,233 --> 00:31:29,100
for delivery.

677
00:31:29,500 --> 00:31:30,966
Are you testing Xiao Jue's reactions?

678
00:31:31,300 --> 00:31:32,033
Xiao Jue

679
00:31:32,100 --> 00:31:33,700
knows Miss He's true identity

680
00:31:33,866 --> 00:31:34,866
but helps conceal it.

681
00:31:35,533 --> 00:31:37,066
Perhaps he harbors feelings for her.

682
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:43,233
Calling me like that

683
00:31:44,866 --> 00:31:45,600
is bad enough.

684
00:31:45,933 --> 00:31:47,000
Don't lose face in front of

685
00:31:47,066 --> 00:31:47,766
others.

686
00:31:48,533 --> 00:31:49,566
I've already tested him.

687
00:31:50,933 --> 00:31:51,700
Our abrupt departure

688
00:31:52,300 --> 00:31:53,566
will raise Xiao Jue's doubts.

689
00:31:54,366 --> 00:31:55,066
This letter

690
00:31:55,566 --> 00:31:57,000
will keep him occupied.

691
00:31:57,966 --> 00:31:58,500
It may

692
00:31:59,466 --> 00:32:00,900
(To He Yan)
buy us some time.

693
00:32:02,266 --> 00:32:03,366
(To He Yan)
I knew he had

694
00:32:03,433 --> 00:32:04,100
ulterior motives.

695
00:32:04,633 --> 00:32:05,700
A decree delivery?

696
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,066
Actually he was probing

697
00:32:07,166 --> 00:32:07,866
for Xu Jingfu.

698
00:32:08,500 --> 00:32:09,833
Now, he must've heard something,

699
00:32:10,266 --> 00:32:11,300
going to Jiyang overnight.

700
00:32:13,566 --> 00:32:14,300
This is

701
00:32:14,733 --> 00:32:15,733
within my expectations.

702
00:32:16,266 --> 00:32:17,400
As a military officer,

703
00:32:17,900 --> 00:32:19,066
without imperial orders

704
00:32:19,133 --> 00:32:20,133
or urgent matters,

705
00:32:20,533 --> 00:32:21,466
I can't just leave.

706
00:32:22,500 --> 00:32:23,033
Moreover,

707
00:32:24,166 --> 00:32:25,400
our family has some history

708
00:32:25,566 --> 00:32:26,400
with Princess Mengji.

709
00:32:27,733 --> 00:32:29,000
We must act cautiously.

710
00:32:32,233 --> 00:32:32,966
Luckily, Jiyang,

711
00:32:33,566 --> 00:32:34,700
though under Wei's rule,

712
00:32:35,766 --> 00:32:37,400
operates autonomously.

713
00:32:37,900 --> 00:32:39,366
With Princess Mengji holding power,

714
00:32:40,266 --> 00:32:40,933
outsiders

715
00:32:41,566 --> 00:32:42,600
without connections

716
00:32:43,433 --> 00:32:44,700
find themselves constrained.

717
00:32:45,566 --> 00:32:47,100
He won't locate Chai Anxi quickly.

718
00:32:47,866 --> 00:32:48,366
Feinu,

719
00:32:49,433 --> 00:32:50,333
hurry up and arrange

720
00:32:50,966 --> 00:32:51,800
the identity change.

721
00:32:52,966 --> 00:32:53,466
Yes.

722
00:32:57,566 --> 00:32:58,500
- Feinu.
- Mr. Cheng.

723
00:32:59,433 --> 00:32:59,966
Huaijin.

724
00:33:00,233 --> 00:33:01,933
I just saw Chu Zhao leave.

725
00:33:02,333 --> 00:33:02,933
He's supposed

726
00:33:02,966 --> 00:33:04,233
to meet Miss He today, isn't he?

727
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:05,400
He definitely

728
00:33:05,466 --> 00:33:07,200
hasn't made it to the meeting yet.

729
00:33:07,233 --> 00:33:07,800
Huaijin.

730
00:33:08,066 --> 00:33:09,300
This is a good opportunity.

731
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:10,900
If Miss He

732
00:33:10,900 --> 00:33:12,066
truly has feelings for him,

733
00:33:12,366 --> 00:33:13,600
and now he broke their plan...

734
00:33:14,266 --> 00:33:15,100
Miss He

735
00:33:15,266 --> 00:33:16,500
is still a girl after all.

736
00:33:16,766 --> 00:33:18,066
She is delicate and sensitive.

737
00:33:18,366 --> 00:33:18,866
Now,

738
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,133
she needs companionship.

739
00:33:20,733 --> 00:33:22,366
If you offer her gentle consolation,

740
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,333
you'll surely win her favor.

741
00:33:26,066 --> 00:33:27,300
She wants to see Chu Zhao.
