23
00:01:46,766 --> 00:01:47,400
Mr. Chu.

24
00:01:48,966 --> 00:01:50,833
Mr. Sun want to see
you in the reception hall.

25
00:01:53,966 --> 00:01:55,366
Attend to your duties, Mr. Chu.

26
00:01:58,766 --> 00:01:59,700
Rest well.

27
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:29,633
Commander Xiao.

28
00:02:34,266 --> 00:02:34,833
Mr. Sun.

29
00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:38,333
Might I know why you're here?

30
00:02:39,533 --> 00:02:40,366
This courtyard

31
00:02:40,733 --> 00:02:41,733
is particularly elegant,

32
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:42,866
so I took a stroll.

33
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:44,333
But I lost my way.

34
00:02:45,733 --> 00:02:46,533
I'm sorry

35
00:02:46,566 --> 00:02:48,033
I haven't been a better host

36
00:02:48,133 --> 00:02:49,033
and shown you

37
00:02:49,066 --> 00:02:50,100
around the premises.

38
00:02:51,133 --> 00:02:52,366
Since the sunshine today

39
00:02:55,733 --> 00:02:56,366
is mild,

40
00:02:57,166 --> 00:02:59,400
shall we have tea in the pavilion?

41
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:01,533
This way.

42
00:03:02,333 --> 00:03:03,100
Have some tea.

43
00:03:03,266 --> 00:03:04,066
Have some tea.

44
00:03:05,766 --> 00:03:06,433
Young Master.

45
00:03:06,866 --> 00:03:07,733
The account records

46
00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:09,133
are in Sun Ling's secret room.

47
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:10,200
Earlier,

48
00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:11,733
I concealed myself and was waiting,

49
00:03:12,266 --> 00:03:12,900
but observed

50
00:03:12,933 --> 00:03:14,533
Xiao Jue stealthily entering the study.

51
00:03:24,733 --> 00:03:25,366
Young Master,

52
00:03:26,333 --> 00:03:26,966
could he also be

53
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000
after account records?

54
00:03:32,133 --> 00:03:33,000
He couldn't have found

55
00:03:33,566 --> 00:03:34,433
Sun Xiangfu's dealings

56
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:35,600
with Master.

57
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:38,233
He's likely
after Yezhou Garrison's tax ledgers.

58
00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:40,200
But if he obtains them first,

59
00:03:40,466 --> 00:03:41,333
we'll lose

60
00:03:41,366 --> 00:03:42,033
the initiative.

61
00:03:43,566 --> 00:03:44,100
Yingxiang,

62
00:03:45,066 --> 00:03:45,866
watch

63
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:47,033
Xiao Jue's every move.

64
00:03:47,933 --> 00:03:48,533
Yes.

65
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,866
Commander Xiao, have some tea.

66
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:15,900
This smells like

67
00:05:16,333 --> 00:05:17,533
the Junshan Yinzhen tea.

68
00:05:18,533 --> 00:05:19,566
Excellent quality indeed.

69
00:05:20,666 --> 00:05:21,233
Mr. Sun,

70
00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:23,700
your generosity knows no bounds.

71
00:05:26,866 --> 00:05:27,866
A gift from my friend.

72
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:28,933
Otherwise,

73
00:05:29,133 --> 00:05:30,533
with my meager official salary,

74
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,500
I couldn't afford such fine tea.

75
00:05:36,266 --> 00:05:36,766
Knowing

76
00:05:36,766 --> 00:05:38,000
our men in Yezhou Garrison

77
00:05:39,166 --> 00:05:40,666
still lack military pay,

78
00:05:41,566 --> 00:05:43,400
I feel really uneasy

79
00:05:44,133 --> 00:05:47,366
drinking such fine tea.

80
00:05:50,133 --> 00:05:50,800
Commander Xiao,

81
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,733
your words ring true.

82
00:05:53,533 --> 00:05:54,900
Military life is arduous.

83
00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:57,533
I share their hardships in spirit.

84
00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:01,366
But Yezhou suffers yearly calamities

85
00:06:01,866 --> 00:06:02,900
and poor harvests,

86
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,300
making provisions and pay impossible.

87
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:06,733
Previously,

88
00:06:06,866 --> 00:06:08,766
border trade supplemented our funds,

89
00:06:09,066 --> 00:06:09,733
but now,

90
00:06:09,733 --> 00:06:11,133
constant clashes with Wutuo

91
00:06:11,266 --> 00:06:12,466
have halted all commerce.

92
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:13,800
Thus

93
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,066
revenues vanished.

94
00:06:15,366 --> 00:06:16,033
No income means

95
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:17,200
people can't pay taxes.

96
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:18,000
Without taxes,

97
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,000
how can I procure military funds?

98
00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:26,600
Forgive my frankness,

99
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,433
as Yezhou's magistrate,

100
00:06:30,866 --> 00:06:32,266
when I think of soldiers

101
00:06:32,366 --> 00:06:33,466
enduring hunger,

102
00:06:34,933 --> 00:06:36,633
my heart aches.

103
00:06:37,666 --> 00:06:38,400
If selling myself

104
00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:40,466
could raise funds,

105
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:42,266
I'd gladly trade myself

106
00:06:42,366 --> 00:06:43,166
for military funds

107
00:06:43,533 --> 00:06:44,800
to support our troops.

108
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,366
Your words

109
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,266
are truly moving.

110
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:00,000
Were it not for our garrison

111
00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:01,633
going unpaid for a long time,

112
00:07:02,266 --> 00:07:04,000
I might believe what you said.

113
00:07:07,133 --> 00:07:07,766
Master.

114
00:07:08,766 --> 00:07:10,100
Mr. Chu has arrived at the hall.

115
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,100
Mr. Chu has arrived?

116
00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:13,866
Yes.

117
00:07:14,166 --> 00:07:15,500
Commander, should we...?

118
00:07:15,766 --> 00:07:16,433
Perhaps...

119
00:07:17,266 --> 00:07:17,800
Okay.

120
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:19,233
I understand your meaning.

121
00:07:19,466 --> 00:07:20,900
Do as you please.

122
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,233
I'll return shortly.

123
00:07:54,133 --> 00:07:55,633
Why does it hurt so much?

124
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:09,633
(This thing must be poisonous.)

125
00:08:25,066 --> 00:08:26,000
(He hasn't gone far)

126
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:28,133
(and is still secretly watching me.)

127
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,266
(This poison...)

128
00:08:30,933 --> 00:08:32,333
(He doesn't just want to kill me.)

129
00:08:33,266 --> 00:08:34,200
(And Xiao Jue, too.)

130
00:08:46,733 --> 00:08:47,266
What's up?

131
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:47,966
Let go.

132
00:08:48,366 --> 00:08:49,966
Someone placed a poisonous ball on me.

133
00:09:19,266 --> 00:09:20,300
Another wasted effort.

134
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:22,133
Another wasted effort.

135
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:23,566
He...

136
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,500
- What are you doing?
- Nothing.

137
00:09:30,866 --> 00:09:31,800
What are you doing?

138
00:09:32,733 --> 00:09:33,400
Why not smile?

139
00:09:34,300 --> 00:09:35,000
Why smile?

140
00:09:35,466 --> 00:09:36,166
How can you smile?

141
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,000
Not smiling.

142
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,100
Not smiling? Why not?

143
00:09:38,766 --> 00:09:39,433
Why smile?

144
00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:40,233
Get lost.

145
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:40,966
Get lost.

146
00:09:48,766 --> 00:09:49,833
They fell into the water.

147
00:09:50,666 --> 00:09:51,300
They'll wash up

148
00:09:51,466 --> 00:09:52,566
thoroughly.

149
00:09:52,866 --> 00:09:54,166
That scented ball became useless.

150
00:09:55,166 --> 00:09:57,300
Falling into the water
right after we replaced

151
00:09:57,700 --> 00:09:58,700
his scented ball.

152
00:09:59,666 --> 00:10:01,300
This is too much of a coincidence.

153
00:10:04,466 --> 00:10:06,200
He must be faking blindness.

154
00:10:07,366 --> 00:10:08,100
That young man

155
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,733
is truly unnatural.

156
00:10:11,966 --> 00:10:13,066
Slippery as a loach,

157
00:10:14,333 --> 00:10:15,566
he's impossible to grasp.

158
00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:36,733
My belt!

159
00:10:37,866 --> 00:10:39,500
Belt! Where's my belt?

160
00:10:40,466 --> 00:10:41,500
Where's my belt?

161
00:10:41,766 --> 00:10:42,433
Belt.

162
00:10:43,866 --> 00:10:44,566
Uncle!

163
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:46,433
I can't find my belt.

164
00:10:46,666 --> 00:10:48,100
Could you fetch it for me?

165
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:51,766
Here.

166
00:11:23,266 --> 00:11:24,333
You're so good to me.

167
00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:28,200
You called me uncle, after all.

168
00:11:29,966 --> 00:11:30,600
Uncle,

169
00:11:31,933 --> 00:11:33,000
what about my allowance?

170
00:11:33,733 --> 00:11:34,366
Where is it?

171
00:11:48,966 --> 00:11:50,566
It's not worth being your nephew.

172
00:11:52,133 --> 00:11:53,066
You're unlucky to have

173
00:11:53,366 --> 00:11:54,300
a heartless uncle.

174
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:55,866
Who said that?

175
00:11:56,266 --> 00:11:57,466
You're clearly warm-hearted

176
00:11:57,666 --> 00:11:58,300
and magnanimous.

177
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,500
General Fengyun,

178
00:12:00,466 --> 00:12:01,066
as good

179
00:12:01,266 --> 00:12:02,466
as your reputation.

180
00:12:07,066 --> 00:12:07,766
Earlier,

181
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,100
you really went all out.

182
00:12:11,366 --> 00:12:13,566
I couldn't let you get involved.

183
00:12:14,333 --> 00:12:15,000
Fortunately,

184
00:12:15,333 --> 00:12:16,000
that scented ball

185
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,066
is now useless.

186
00:12:19,733 --> 00:12:20,866
There were many methods,

187
00:12:21,533 --> 00:12:23,133
but you chose the most foolish one.

188
00:12:24,966 --> 00:12:26,833
It indeed required suffering,

189
00:12:27,366 --> 00:12:27,866
but

190
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,033
it was also undoubtedly the fastest way.

191
00:12:36,866 --> 00:12:37,466
Cold?

192
00:12:48,166 --> 00:12:49,233
Put on your clothes.

193
00:12:50,266 --> 00:12:51,266
If you catch a cold,

194
00:12:52,166 --> 00:12:52,900
I won't care.

195
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:10,566
Ding Yi

196
00:13:11,333 --> 00:13:13,033
is clearly targeting Xiao Jue.

197
00:13:14,266 --> 00:13:15,600
I'll investigate this thoroughly.

198
00:14:00,300 --> 00:14:02,133
You want to kill Cheng Lisu,

199
00:14:03,100 --> 00:14:03,933
but General Feihong

200
00:14:03,933 --> 00:14:05,066
clearly ordered you to take

201
00:14:05,166 --> 00:14:06,333
Xiao Jue's life.

202
00:14:07,333 --> 00:14:09,233
He keeps sabotaging things.

203
00:14:09,733 --> 00:14:10,733
Killing him

204
00:14:11,733 --> 00:14:12,466
would eliminate

205
00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:13,900
Xiao Jue's right-hand man.

206
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:15,733
Then

207
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,333
matters would become much simpler.

208
00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:25,766
This isn't a bad approach.

209
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:30,100
I just worry that Xiao Jue...

210
00:14:35,533 --> 00:14:36,733
(It was indeed He Rufei.)

211
00:14:37,900 --> 00:14:40,166
(But why would He Rufei
want to kill Xiao Jue?)

212
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:01,633
Guards!

213
00:15:01,933 --> 00:15:02,600
Assassin!

214
00:15:04,166 --> 00:15:04,900
Assassin! Hurry!

215
00:15:06,266 --> 00:15:06,766
Over here!

216
00:15:07,366 --> 00:15:07,900
Hurry!

217
00:15:34,366 --> 00:15:34,933
Hurry!

218
00:15:36,133 --> 00:15:36,700
Over here.

219
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:37,966
Hurry.

220
00:15:57,500 --> 00:15:58,100
Go on.

221
00:16:01,700 --> 00:16:02,233
This way.

222
00:16:02,833 --> 00:16:03,466
Hurry.

223
00:16:04,566 --> 00:16:06,066
(Hide in the Commander's room.)

224
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:28,133
(Why is he bathing at this moment?)

225
00:16:33,933 --> 00:16:35,500
Did I enter the wrong room?

226
00:16:38,700 --> 00:16:39,300
This...

227
00:16:44,133 --> 00:16:44,866
Where am I?

228
00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:47,500
Take off your stealth outfit
before playing these tricks.

229
00:16:58,366 --> 00:17:00,500
Commander Xiao? Are you sleeping?

230
00:17:19,333 --> 00:17:20,633
Trespassing into my room.

231
00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:22,333
Is this

232
00:17:23,166 --> 00:17:24,633
how you treat your guests?

233
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,100
Sorry, Commander Xiao. A thief entered.

234
00:17:27,466 --> 00:17:30,400
I feared it would disturb you,
so I came to investigate.

235
00:17:31,533 --> 00:17:32,466
You should thoroughly

236
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:33,433
check every inch

237
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,133
of this room.

238
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,100
You are skilled in martial arts.

239
00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:39,633
Why would you fear a thief?

240
00:17:40,933 --> 00:17:41,800
But

241
00:17:42,333 --> 00:17:44,133
Mr. Cheng lacks skills in martial arts.

242
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:45,700
When I visited his room,

243
00:17:46,466 --> 00:17:47,500
he wasn't present.

244
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:51,833
My nephew

245
00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:53,400
has a fondness

246
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,133
for the pastries
from Shiyunju in Yezhou,

247
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,233
so my man took him there.

248
00:17:58,466 --> 00:17:59,133
Is there

249
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,000
a problem with that?

250
00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:04,700
My apologies.

251
00:18:29,566 --> 00:18:30,266
Thank you.

252
00:18:32,166 --> 00:18:32,766
It's lucky

253
00:18:32,766 --> 00:18:33,966
that you bathe daily.

254
00:18:34,466 --> 00:18:35,166
The servants

255
00:18:35,166 --> 00:18:36,233
deliver water every day.

256
00:18:38,466 --> 00:18:39,733
Why was Ding Yi after you?

257
00:18:41,366 --> 00:18:42,433
Why were you wearing

258
00:18:42,966 --> 00:18:44,166
a stealth outfit?

259
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:52,766
That black-clad figure earlier

260
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:54,900
was you, right?

261
00:18:57,466 --> 00:18:58,400
Why ask questions

262
00:18:58,900 --> 00:19:00,166
you know the answers to?

263
00:19:03,666 --> 00:19:04,766
Why pretend to be blind?

264
00:19:07,866 --> 00:19:08,566
Not pretending.

265
00:19:09,133 --> 00:19:09,800
It's just

266
00:19:10,300 --> 00:19:11,233
that I'm blessed,

267
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:12,566
so I can recover

268
00:19:12,566 --> 00:19:14,566
slightly faster than others.

269
00:19:15,966 --> 00:19:17,066
Significantly faster.

270
00:19:19,866 --> 00:19:21,133
But I was

271
00:19:21,466 --> 00:19:22,300
truly blind

272
00:19:22,333 --> 00:19:23,466
for your sake.

273
00:19:23,733 --> 00:19:24,966
Don't be ungrateful.

274
00:19:27,533 --> 00:19:28,166
He Yan.

275
00:19:33,266 --> 00:19:33,900
Get out.

276
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,333
(Why would He Rufei send someone)

277
00:19:53,366 --> 00:19:54,700
(to assassinate Xiao Jue?)

278
00:19:55,666 --> 00:19:56,933
(What is he truly after?)

279
00:19:58,366 --> 00:19:58,966
(No.)

280
00:19:59,766 --> 00:20:00,700
(I can't just wait.)

281
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:16,800
You want to kill Cheng Lisu,

282
00:20:17,700 --> 00:20:18,633
but General Feihong

283
00:20:18,666 --> 00:20:19,733
clearly ordered you to take

284
00:20:19,766 --> 00:20:21,066
Xiao Jue's life.

285
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:23,533
He keeps sabotaging things.

286
00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:25,733
Killing him

287
00:20:26,333 --> 00:20:27,033
would cut off

288
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:28,566
Xiao Jue's right-hand man.

289
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:29,900
Then

290
00:20:31,066 --> 00:20:33,166
matters would become much simpler.

291
00:20:33,866 --> 00:20:35,233
(Sun Xiangfu's servant)

292
00:20:35,900 --> 00:20:37,333
(is actually He Rufei's man?)

293
00:20:38,466 --> 00:20:39,800
(The delay in rescue at Mingshui,)

294
00:20:40,700 --> 00:20:42,066
(the political betrayal in court,)

295
00:20:42,666 --> 00:20:44,100
(and the assassination in Yezhou.)

296
00:20:45,666 --> 00:20:46,566
(He Rufei,)

297
00:20:47,366 --> 00:20:48,666
(in my memory,)

298
00:20:49,266 --> 00:20:51,100
(you weren't this treacherous.)

299
00:20:52,166 --> 00:20:54,066
(What corrupted you so?)

300
00:20:56,100 --> 00:20:58,033
(Or did I misjudge you from the start?)

301
00:20:58,466 --> 00:21:00,133
(Was this your true nature?)

302
00:21:01,133 --> 00:21:01,966
(Besides,)

303
00:21:06,733 --> 00:21:08,066
(what role)

304
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,133
(does she play in this?)

305
00:21:30,466 --> 00:21:31,133
Young Master,

306
00:21:31,300 --> 00:21:32,300
someone was eavesdropping

307
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:33,766
on Sun Xiangfu and Ding Yi's talk.

308
00:21:34,366 --> 00:21:35,266
Ding Yi chased him

309
00:21:35,366 --> 00:21:36,300
to Xiao Jue's room.

310
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,100
Xiao Jue happened
to be bathing at the time.

311
00:21:40,066 --> 00:21:40,700
Perfect timing.

312
00:21:41,533 --> 00:21:42,433
Yeah, perfect timing.

313
00:21:42,866 --> 00:21:44,900
Xiao Jue must already know by now

314
00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:46,000
He Rufei sent Ding Yi

315
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:46,866
to kill him.

316
00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:48,033
Let him know.

317
00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:49,600
After all, He Rufei

318
00:21:49,900 --> 00:21:50,800
is the one who did it.

319
00:21:54,500 --> 00:21:55,133
Young Master,

320
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:56,633
you've been reading so long.

321
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:57,933
Have a rest

322
00:21:58,133 --> 00:21:58,866
and have some soup.

323
00:21:59,533 --> 00:22:01,533
This goji and fish soup is
good for the eyes.

324
00:22:01,966 --> 00:22:02,466
Alright.

325
00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:24,800
Who's there?

326
00:22:41,933 --> 00:22:43,200
Trying to act mysterious?

327
00:22:43,866 --> 00:22:45,500
Today, I'll send you to the grave.

328
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,400
Let me be the one to send you off.

329
00:22:48,066 --> 00:22:48,800
In your next life,

330
00:22:49,366 --> 00:22:51,500
don't collude with wicked people again.

331
00:22:52,066 --> 00:22:53,900
(That voice belongs to Cheng Lisu.)

332
00:22:59,333 --> 00:22:59,933
What?

333
00:23:00,366 --> 00:23:01,266
Can't you recognize me?

334
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,066
Who exactly are you?

335
00:23:08,733 --> 00:23:09,966
You're not Cheng Lisu.

336
00:23:10,766 --> 00:23:11,966
He has no martial skills.

337
00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:13,133
Who do you think

338
00:23:13,533 --> 00:23:14,366
I am?

339
00:23:15,566 --> 00:23:16,666
No matter who you are,

340
00:23:16,966 --> 00:23:18,433
today, you'll be killed.

341
00:23:54,266 --> 00:23:55,533
You've really chosen

342
00:23:55,533 --> 00:23:57,733
a fine burial spot for yourself.

343
00:23:59,300 --> 00:24:00,733
This place is used by the Sun family

344
00:24:00,933 --> 00:24:02,700
to suppress vengeful souls.

345
00:24:03,333 --> 00:24:04,266
Each Buddha statue

346
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,833
represents a vengeful soul.

347
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,266
Soon,

348
00:24:07,900 --> 00:24:09,966
you'll become one of them,

349
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,400
being trapped for eternity.

350
00:24:13,466 --> 00:24:14,900
I'm a vengeful ghost crawling out

351
00:24:14,933 --> 00:24:16,033
from the Netherworld.

352
00:24:16,733 --> 00:24:18,033
I care nothing for reincarnation.

353
00:24:18,466 --> 00:24:19,233
Besides,

354
00:24:19,533 --> 00:24:20,766
if I can come and go freely,

355
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,600
these paper charms and clay statues

356
00:24:22,933 --> 00:24:24,466
are just worthless objects.

357
00:24:25,366 --> 00:24:26,300
They mean nothing.

358
00:26:30,333 --> 00:26:30,933
Don't close it.

359
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:33,966
Let me watch

360
00:26:34,533 --> 00:26:35,766
how this storm

361
00:26:35,866 --> 00:26:36,900
will wash over the world.

362
00:26:40,533 --> 00:26:41,466
Let's make Sun Mansion

363
00:26:41,733 --> 00:26:42,600
descend into chaos.

364
00:26:43,266 --> 00:26:45,000
The more chaos, the better for you.

365
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:46,800
I wonder what role

366
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:48,833
Mr. He will play

367
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:50,600
in this game.

368
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:02,900
Does your master He Rufei

369
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,866
know about your incompetence?

370
00:27:09,166 --> 00:27:09,800
Ding Yi.

371
00:27:10,866 --> 00:27:12,200
I won't fall for

372
00:27:12,333 --> 00:27:13,233
the same person twice.

373
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:14,866
Today,

374
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,666
it's my turn to send you to the grave.

375
00:27:19,066 --> 00:27:20,566
Let's see if you can earn rebirth.

376
00:27:22,366 --> 00:27:23,466
Who exactly are you?

377
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:30,600
You once killed

378
00:27:31,333 --> 00:27:32,766
a blind woman.

379
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,100
Who do you think I am?

380
00:27:37,333 --> 00:27:38,566
He Yan.

381
00:27:41,166 --> 00:27:42,000
But

382
00:27:42,366 --> 00:27:43,700
if you tell me

383
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,433
why He Rufei wants Xiao Jue dead,

384
00:27:47,766 --> 00:27:49,400
I'll make your death quick.

385
00:27:51,166 --> 00:27:52,633
Do you care about Xiao Jue that much?

386
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,266
We are companions

387
00:27:56,100 --> 00:27:57,800
who've survived
life-and-death situations.

388
00:27:58,266 --> 00:27:59,166
Of course I care.

389
00:28:01,766 --> 00:28:02,866
Even if I die,

390
00:28:03,866 --> 00:28:05,033
I'll never betray

391
00:28:05,133 --> 00:28:05,866
my general.

392
00:28:09,966 --> 00:28:11,600
Since you won't talk,

393
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:13,700
go tell the God of Death.

394
00:28:18,566 --> 00:28:20,700
I'm a ghost of the one you murdered.

395
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:23,466
I clawed my way out of the Netherworld,

396
00:28:24,866 --> 00:28:26,700
and came here to claim your life.

397
00:28:39,100 --> 00:28:40,200
Who exactly are you?

398
00:28:48,066 --> 00:28:48,600
Commander.

399
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:50,333
What do you mean by that?

400
00:28:50,666 --> 00:28:52,600
I have pretended
to be Cheng Lisu for a few days.

401
00:28:52,766 --> 00:28:53,666
Don't you recognize me?

402
00:28:54,133 --> 00:28:55,066
I'm He Yan.

403
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,200
What did you mean

404
00:29:01,300 --> 00:29:02,733
by "I'm a ghost of the one

405
00:29:04,066 --> 00:29:05,000
you murdered"?

406
00:29:07,066 --> 00:29:09,400
I was just trying to scare Ding Yi.

407
00:29:12,166 --> 00:29:13,500
Still refusing to tell the truth?

408
00:29:14,700 --> 00:29:15,700
Miss He.

409
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:20,833
You're clearly a woman,

410
00:29:21,933 --> 00:29:23,500
yet registered under a male identity

411
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:25,633
to join Yezhou Garrison.

412
00:29:27,066 --> 00:29:28,200
May I ask you

413
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:29,933
what your intentions are?

414
00:29:31,100 --> 00:29:31,800
Commander.

415
00:29:32,333 --> 00:29:33,433
When did you find out?

416
00:29:36,366 --> 00:29:36,966
I thought

417
00:29:37,066 --> 00:29:38,866
you were a spy sent by He Rufei.

418
00:29:40,933 --> 00:29:42,566
But you just killed his man.

419
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,100
So why exactly

420
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,633
did you hide your identity
to join Yezhou Garrison?

421
00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:54,100
If you tell the truth,

422
00:29:54,566 --> 00:29:56,566
I'll consider letting you
join the battalion.

423
00:29:57,266 --> 00:29:58,300
(A trap?)

424
00:29:58,666 --> 00:29:59,533
(I don't buy it.)

425
00:30:01,933 --> 00:30:02,433
Commander.

426
00:30:02,866 --> 00:30:03,700
Are you serious?

427
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,100
My registration

428
00:30:08,333 --> 00:30:09,733
is true.

429
00:30:10,266 --> 00:30:11,133
But when my mother

430
00:30:11,933 --> 00:30:13,233
was pregnant with me,

431
00:30:13,700 --> 00:30:14,966
she met a wise seer.

432
00:30:15,966 --> 00:30:16,966
The seer said

433
00:30:17,300 --> 00:30:19,000
if she bore a son,

434
00:30:19,733 --> 00:30:21,066
he'd be a military prodigy.

435
00:30:21,566 --> 00:30:22,466
But if it were a girl,

436
00:30:23,466 --> 00:30:24,666
she would die early.

437
00:30:25,466 --> 00:30:26,733
That's why since birth,

438
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,033
I've been raised as a boy.

439
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,266
So the registry

440
00:30:30,900 --> 00:30:32,033
listed me as male.

441
00:30:33,366 --> 00:30:34,233
By that logic,

442
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:35,900
the Fuyue Army moves

443
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:37,900
you demonstrated while taming horses

444
00:30:38,900 --> 00:30:39,933
were also taught to you

445
00:30:40,166 --> 00:30:41,366
by this seer in your dreams?

446
00:30:43,333 --> 00:30:44,433
Not exactly.

447
00:30:45,266 --> 00:30:46,766
Living as a boy,

448
00:30:47,300 --> 00:30:48,033
I naturally aspired

449
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,466
to become a general

450
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:50,666
and make my mark.

451
00:30:51,166 --> 00:30:52,166
Just like you, Commander.

452
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:57,166
After joining the Fuyue Army,

453
00:30:57,766 --> 00:30:59,566
I achieved some success.

454
00:31:00,366 --> 00:31:01,033
Unfortunately,

455
00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:03,166
my squad leader discovered my identity.

456
00:31:03,566 --> 00:31:05,033
Luckily, he was kind

457
00:31:05,533 --> 00:31:06,800
and didn't expose me.

458
00:31:07,533 --> 00:31:08,066
But

459
00:31:08,333 --> 00:31:09,266
he feared implication,

460
00:31:09,333 --> 00:31:10,633
so he made me

461
00:31:11,066 --> 00:31:12,966
claim injury to retire

462
00:31:13,133 --> 00:31:14,033
and return home.

463
00:31:18,666 --> 00:31:23,700
(Exsoldier in the Fuyue Army, He Yan
retired after injuries half a year ago.)

464
00:31:23,733 --> 00:31:25,166
(Thankfully, Master forged)

465
00:31:25,266 --> 00:31:26,266
(my registry thoroughly.)

466
00:31:29,533 --> 00:31:30,133
Commander.

467
00:31:30,266 --> 00:31:30,800
Well,

468
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,033
I've answered all.

469
00:31:32,300 --> 00:31:32,966
Don't you think

470
00:31:33,300 --> 00:31:34,333
I'm now qualified

471
00:31:34,366 --> 00:31:35,233
to join the battalion?

472
00:31:35,500 --> 00:31:37,033
If your identity was exposed before,

473
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:38,900
why enlist again?

474
00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:40,733
What if the past repeats?

475
00:31:42,366 --> 00:31:43,666
I want to be a general

476
00:31:44,766 --> 00:31:46,166
and protect my country.

477
00:31:46,900 --> 00:31:47,933
Moreover, I trust

478
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:48,733
the Xiao Army

479
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:50,866
won't dwell on trivialities,

480
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:52,766
but value true talent

481
00:31:53,900 --> 00:31:55,166
and give me a fair chance.

482
00:32:13,266 --> 00:32:13,866
Keep up.

483
00:32:14,933 --> 00:32:16,200
The corpse...

484
00:32:16,933 --> 00:32:17,766
Let Feinu handle it.

485
00:32:20,166 --> 00:32:20,700
Commander.

486
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:22,300
Why walk so fast?

487
00:32:23,166 --> 00:32:24,366
Waiting to get caught?

488
00:32:42,966 --> 00:32:43,533
Commander.

489
00:32:44,533 --> 00:32:45,533
Help me apply medicine.

490
00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:46,600
I can't reach it.

491
00:32:48,733 --> 00:32:49,566
You're playing a man,

492
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:51,666
but not a real man.

493
00:32:53,300 --> 00:32:54,400
You're a noble man,

494
00:32:54,966 --> 00:32:56,300
so I trust you completely.

495
00:33:21,166 --> 00:33:21,666
Commander.

496
00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:23,166
Could you be gentler?

497
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,966
I'm made of flesh and blood.

498
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,200
Now you feel pain?

499
00:33:28,666 --> 00:33:29,933
Weren't you tough earlier?

500
00:33:31,566 --> 00:33:33,266
Different circumstances.

501
00:33:33,666 --> 00:33:34,933
On the battlefield,

502
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,233
as a soldier,

503
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,533
even with my last breath,

504
00:33:37,933 --> 00:33:39,066
I'd fight to the end.

505
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:40,800
Now, during peace,

506
00:33:40,933 --> 00:33:43,466
I should properly recuperate.

507
00:33:44,666 --> 00:33:46,000
Your reading paid off.

508
00:33:47,466 --> 00:33:48,666
Though I'm a woman,

509
00:33:49,366 --> 00:33:50,900
my military tactics and martial skills

510
00:33:51,066 --> 00:33:51,966
rival any man's.

511
00:33:52,366 --> 00:33:53,200
I believe

512
00:33:53,533 --> 00:33:54,800
you've witnessed it firsthand.

513
00:34:00,133 --> 00:34:00,833
Why did you

514
00:34:01,933 --> 00:34:02,933
fight with

515
00:34:02,966 --> 00:34:03,533
He Rufei's man?

516
00:34:09,133 --> 00:34:11,033
It was all for you, Commander.

517
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:14,266
For me?

518
00:34:15,766 --> 00:34:16,400
Exactly.

519
00:34:16,766 --> 00:34:18,133
I overheard someone plotting

520
00:34:18,466 --> 00:34:19,366
to kill you.

521
00:34:19,733 --> 00:34:20,833
As your subordinate,

522
00:34:21,166 --> 00:34:21,900
it's my duty

523
00:34:22,100 --> 00:34:23,400
to eliminate all threats to you.

524
00:34:24,066 --> 00:34:24,733
So I decided

525
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:25,866
to investigate covertly.

526
00:34:26,166 --> 00:34:27,666
But someone spotted me.

527
00:34:28,133 --> 00:34:29,933
He tried to silence me.

528
00:34:30,333 --> 00:34:31,266
Every strike was lethal.

529
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:32,733
I couldn't hold back.

530
00:34:33,300 --> 00:34:33,966
After all,

531
00:34:34,333 --> 00:34:35,766
I need to keep myself alive

532
00:34:35,900 --> 00:34:37,033
to serve you.

533
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,100
Commander,

534
00:34:50,900 --> 00:34:51,833
do you still not believe

535
00:34:51,900 --> 00:34:52,733
what I'm saying?

536
00:34:53,466 --> 00:34:54,500
My loyalty to you

537
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:55,933
is truer than gold.

538
00:34:56,566 --> 00:34:58,033
Every word comes from my heart.

539
00:34:58,600 --> 00:34:59,100
I swear it.

540
00:35:02,166 --> 00:35:03,566
Stay still. I'm not done.

541
00:35:14,966 --> 00:35:15,500
Commander,

542
00:35:16,733 --> 00:35:18,366
can I join the battalion now?

543
00:35:23,366 --> 00:35:24,233
Why are you

544
00:35:25,566 --> 00:35:26,833
so fixated on

545
00:35:28,366 --> 00:35:29,533
joining the battalion?

546
00:35:43,933 --> 00:35:44,500
Obviously,

547
00:35:44,966 --> 00:35:46,000
it's because I admire you.

548
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,066
I want to achieve greatness

549
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:49,633
under your command.

550
00:35:50,466 --> 00:35:50,966
Commander,

551
00:35:51,700 --> 00:35:52,966
everyone in your battalion

552
00:35:53,300 --> 00:35:54,000
earned their place

553
00:35:54,066 --> 00:35:55,066
through genuine skills.

554
00:35:55,866 --> 00:35:57,266
You value merit above all.

555
00:35:57,933 --> 00:35:58,600
That's why

556
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:00,900
I sought to join your ranks,

557
00:36:01,700 --> 00:36:02,400
to prove

558
00:36:02,900 --> 00:36:03,933
no matter one's status

559
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:05,266
or gender,

560
00:36:05,900 --> 00:36:07,133
anyone can achieve greatness

561
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:08,466
and serve the nation.

562
00:36:09,566 --> 00:36:10,233
Where there is

563
00:36:10,933 --> 00:36:11,666
a will,

564
00:36:12,366 --> 00:36:13,200
there's a way.

565
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:14,633
Someday,

566
00:36:15,566 --> 00:36:16,966
I'll become a renowned general.

567
00:36:20,333 --> 00:36:21,166
Your speech

568
00:36:21,733 --> 00:36:22,833
was flawless

569
00:36:23,366 --> 00:36:24,400
and quite convincing.

570
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:26,233
But

571
00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:28,733
do you think I'll believe that?

572
00:36:29,466 --> 00:36:30,566
If you don't tell the truth,

573
00:36:31,300 --> 00:36:32,466
then leave Yezhou Garrison.

574
00:36:33,066 --> 00:36:34,166
You can't go back

575
00:36:34,333 --> 00:36:35,333
on your word!

576
00:36:37,500 --> 00:36:38,566
If you're not honest,

577
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,700
don't demand honesty from others.

578
00:36:41,933 --> 00:36:43,100
If you expel me,

579
00:36:43,166 --> 00:36:44,033
you'll regret it.

580
00:36:44,966 --> 00:36:45,700
Regret?

581
00:36:46,733 --> 00:36:47,433
I admit

582
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:48,400
you have talent,

583
00:36:48,900 --> 00:36:50,166
but the Nine Banners Battalion

584
00:36:50,966 --> 00:36:52,266
is full of talented people.

585
00:36:53,966 --> 00:36:55,033
I can't even stay

586
00:36:55,366 --> 00:36:56,633
in Yezhou Garrison much longer.

587
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:57,966
In short,

588
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,066
if you drive me away,

589
00:37:01,466 --> 00:37:02,200
I'll spread rumors

590
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:03,700
that you have a sweetheart.

591
00:37:05,766 --> 00:37:06,466
After all,

592
00:37:06,866 --> 00:37:08,200
everyone knows you avoid

593
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:09,500
romantic entanglements.

594
00:37:14,766 --> 00:37:17,033
Go ahead. Who'd believe such nonsense?

595
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:18,333
Words aren't convincing,

596
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,066
but I have evidence.

597
00:37:21,266 --> 00:37:21,866
Commander,

598
00:37:22,300 --> 00:37:23,433
I happen to know

599
00:37:24,133 --> 00:37:25,533
you have a red mole

600
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:27,500
an inch above your waist.

601
00:37:28,566 --> 00:37:29,633
Only an intimate partner

602
00:37:30,366 --> 00:37:31,666
would know

603
00:37:31,933 --> 00:37:33,166
such private details.

604
00:37:41,566 --> 00:37:42,600
Nonsense.

605
00:37:43,333 --> 00:37:44,366
It's not nonsense.

606
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:47,433
Commander,

607
00:37:47,766 --> 00:37:49,000
your looks are exceptional,

608
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,066
and even that charming mole

609
00:37:51,333 --> 00:37:53,200
is perfectly placed

610
00:37:53,533 --> 00:37:54,766
and cute.

611
00:37:55,566 --> 00:37:56,466
It makes people

612
00:37:56,900 --> 00:37:58,066
hard to forget.

613
00:37:59,366 --> 00:38:00,233
- You...
- Commander.

614
00:38:00,866 --> 00:38:01,700
There's something.

615
00:38:03,333 --> 00:38:04,033
Mr. Feinu,

616
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,100
come in.

617
00:38:08,366 --> 00:38:08,900
What is it?

618
00:38:09,133 --> 00:38:10,166
This is my room.

619
00:38:24,733 --> 00:38:26,933
What is it you want to tell me?

620
00:38:28,766 --> 00:38:29,266
Commander.

621
00:38:29,933 --> 00:38:31,066
As you instructed,

622
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:32,733
I buried the body in the shrine

623
00:38:33,066 --> 00:38:33,766
and left clues

624
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:35,300
to see Sun Xiangfu's reaction.

625
00:38:36,133 --> 00:38:37,533
But while burying the body,

626
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:39,800
I discovered something there.

627
00:38:44,900 --> 00:38:45,466
Commander.

628
00:38:45,900 --> 00:38:47,066
Perhaps you should go see it.

629
00:39:12,466 --> 00:39:13,033
