00:01:36,877 --> 00:01:40,170
[Episode 28]

2
00:01:40,170 --> 00:01:43,330
When your Lord is ready, he will show up.

3
00:01:43,330 --> 00:01:45,450
I don't care if he killed Jin Zhen Ping,

4
00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:48,590
or if he can keep his lousy official post.

5
00:01:49,451 --> 00:01:51,250
I just want him to stay alive.

6
00:01:51,250 --> 00:01:52,852
Count me in.

7
00:01:53,427 --> 00:01:56,931
What? You're interested in
that rare poison, Old Souls at First Glance?

8
00:01:56,931 --> 00:01:58,650
Just like you,

9
00:01:58,650 --> 00:02:00,877
I want Zhan Zhao to live.

10
00:02:10,930 --> 00:02:13,250
<i>The Tang Sect has aided the wicked
in recent years,</i>

11
00:02:13,250 --> 00:02:15,327
<i>causing deaths and injuries.</i>

12
00:02:16,170 --> 00:02:18,552
<i>Now it has fallen into such a state.</i>

13
00:02:20,890 --> 00:02:23,685
<i>My father said long ago...</i>

14
00:02:23,685 --> 00:02:25,731
<i>With my weak and timid nature,</i>

15
00:02:25,731 --> 00:02:28,102
<i>I am not fit to be the master.</i>

16
00:02:28,102 --> 00:02:29,570
<i>No.</i>

17
00:02:29,570 --> 00:02:31,652
<i>You are not weak, Tang.</i>

18
00:02:32,371 --> 00:02:33,809
<i>You just want to keep</i>

19
00:02:33,809 --> 00:02:36,214
<i>your youthful innocence.</i>

20
00:02:42,702 --> 00:02:44,130
<i>I understand.</i>

21
00:02:44,130 --> 00:02:46,170
<i>I can't keep running away.</i>

22
00:02:46,170 --> 00:02:48,571
<i>But I really don't know...</i>

23
00:02:48,571 --> 00:02:50,250
<i>how I should face</i>

24
00:02:50,250 --> 00:02:52,890
<i>the moribund Tang Sect.</i>

25
00:02:52,890 --> 00:02:54,571
<i>It is a collapse.</i>

26
00:02:54,571 --> 00:02:56,890
<i>But also a rebirth.</i>

27
00:02:56,890 --> 00:02:58,114
<i>Let yesterday</i>

28
00:02:58,114 --> 00:02:59,913
<i>be a thing of the past.</i>

29
00:03:00,690 --> 00:03:02,770
<i>The Tang Sect led by you</i>

30
00:03:02,770 --> 00:03:05,138
<i>hasn't taken its first step.</i>

31
00:03:08,291 --> 00:03:09,690
<i>Zhan,</i>

32
00:03:09,690 --> 00:03:11,610
<i>have you forgotten?</i>

33
00:03:11,610 --> 00:03:14,490
<i>The first step I took...</i>

34
00:03:14,490 --> 00:03:16,970
<i>was helping Shao Ji Zu
destroy the ledger.</i>

35
00:03:16,970 --> 00:03:18,731
<i>But that first step...</i>

36
00:03:18,731 --> 00:03:20,851
<i>was still following your uncle's old path.</i>

37
00:03:20,851 --> 00:03:22,651
<i>Only when the old case is settled</i>

38
00:03:22,651 --> 00:03:25,740
<i>can the Tang Sect cut ties with the past.</i>

39
00:03:26,527 --> 00:03:28,550
<i>I promised you,</i>

40
00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:29,970
<i>I would plead for the Tang Sect.</i>

41
00:03:29,970 --> 00:03:31,923
<i>You have my word.</i>

42
00:03:32,877 --> 00:03:35,571
<i>Except for the person who concocted
the Seven-Day Drunken Dream,</i>

43
00:03:35,571 --> 00:03:38,890
<i>who must provide an explanation
to the innocent people who died,</i>

44
00:03:38,890 --> 00:03:40,770
<i>the rest of the Tang Sect disciples...</i>

45
00:03:40,770 --> 00:03:43,252
<i>won't be implicated.</i>

46
00:03:49,227 --> 00:03:50,850
<i>The old case is closed.</i>

47
00:03:50,850 --> 00:03:53,410
<i>Si Ming is finished.</i>

48
00:03:53,410 --> 00:03:56,647
<i>From now on,
the Tang Sect will no longer be coerced.</i>

49
00:03:57,734 --> 00:04:00,090
<i>What kind of path you take now...</i>

50
00:04:01,773 --> 00:04:03,615
<i>it's up to you.</i>

51
00:04:10,974 --> 00:04:12,672
Without him,

52
00:04:12,672 --> 00:04:13,859
I'm afraid

53
00:04:13,859 --> 00:04:16,170
I wouldn't have dared to face the past,

54
00:04:16,170 --> 00:04:17,748
nor would I have agreed to

55
00:04:17,748 --> 00:04:20,144
put on an act for Jin Zhen Ping.

56
00:04:20,144 --> 00:04:21,884
In my heart,

57
00:04:21,884 --> 00:04:24,452
I have long considered him a friend.

58
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:27,890
San Lang is already dead.

59
00:04:27,890 --> 00:04:29,908
How dare you ask for the antidote?

60
00:04:29,908 --> 00:04:32,964
You think that with Jin Zhen Ping dead,
everything is over?

61
00:04:32,964 --> 00:04:34,170
Weren't you going to report this?

62
00:04:34,170 --> 00:04:36,897
- Why haven't you gone yet?
- You...

63
00:04:36,897 --> 00:04:38,810
I'm going to report it right now!

64
00:04:38,810 --> 00:04:40,690
You're the one who killed San Lang.

65
00:04:40,690 --> 00:04:42,730
You made Zhan Zhao do it!

66
00:04:42,730 --> 00:04:44,850
The two of you are accomplices!

67
00:04:44,850 --> 00:04:46,320
I killed him?

68
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,242
If you hadn't played so many tricks

69
00:04:48,242 --> 00:04:50,170
and just handed him over to the law,

70
00:04:50,170 --> 00:04:52,250
at least he would still be alive.

71
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:56,890
You were too clever for your own good.
You are the ones who killed him!

72
00:04:56,890 --> 00:04:58,499
Enough, stop the act.

73
00:04:58,499 --> 00:05:01,530
I've long seen through the true faces
of all of your family.

74
00:05:01,530 --> 00:05:03,405
The reason you haven't reported it yet

75
00:05:03,405 --> 00:05:05,668
is that you're glad he's dead, right?

76
00:05:05,668 --> 00:05:08,330
One less problem. No need to go to court

77
00:05:08,330 --> 00:05:09,850
and tarnish the reputation.

78
00:05:09,850 --> 00:05:11,533
What a pity,

79
00:05:11,533 --> 00:05:13,093
I'm still here.

80
00:05:13,093 --> 00:05:15,370
Hand over the antidote and I'll leave.

81
00:05:15,370 --> 00:05:19,890
Otherwise, I'll take all of your scandals
and spread them everywhere!

82
00:05:19,890 --> 00:05:22,290
Don't try to fool me.

83
00:05:22,290 --> 00:05:24,669
Bai Yu Tang.

84
00:05:25,610 --> 00:05:27,970
Bai Yu Tang!

85
00:05:37,813 --> 00:05:40,570
When my Lord returns and sees such a scene,

86
00:05:40,570 --> 00:05:42,751
won't he be angry?

87
00:05:42,751 --> 00:05:45,130
One can only be angry...

88
00:05:45,130 --> 00:05:47,530
if they are still alive.

89
00:05:56,867 --> 00:05:58,450
Father.

90
00:06:07,577 --> 00:06:09,415
[Linglong Manor]

91
00:06:15,930 --> 00:06:17,770
Father.

92
00:06:17,770 --> 00:06:19,357
Brother.

93
00:06:31,632 --> 00:06:32,693
My Lady.

94
00:06:32,693 --> 00:06:34,414
Clean clothes are all ready.

95
00:06:34,414 --> 00:06:36,093
When Madam heard you were back,

96
00:06:36,093 --> 00:06:39,947
she told us to prepare everything
you like to eat and use.

97
00:06:39,947 --> 00:06:42,919
I got it. I'll go over after I freshen up.

98
00:08:07,174 --> 00:08:08,490
Father.

99
00:08:08,490 --> 00:08:10,810
Why must you do this?

100
00:08:12,494 --> 00:08:14,054
You lied to me before.

101
00:08:14,054 --> 00:08:16,697
You brought me back just to marry me off.

102
00:08:22,414 --> 00:08:24,450
I'm sorry.

103
00:08:24,450 --> 00:08:26,498
But for the sake of the Huo family,

104
00:08:26,498 --> 00:08:28,333
I...

105
00:08:28,333 --> 00:08:30,560
have no choice.

106
00:08:33,854 --> 00:08:35,893
Brother! Brother!

107
00:08:35,893 --> 00:08:38,534
Let me out!

108
00:08:38,534 --> 00:08:40,573
Brother!

109
00:08:40,573 --> 00:08:42,250
Brother!

110
00:08:42,250 --> 00:08:44,410
Let me out!

111
00:08:56,854 --> 00:08:58,622
Open the door.

112
00:09:18,893 --> 00:09:21,560
Ling Long, eat something.

113
00:09:52,210 --> 00:09:56,044
[The Capital]

114
00:11:01,290 --> 00:11:03,236
Zhan Zhao, Fourth-Rank Imperial Guard,

115
00:11:03,236 --> 00:11:05,088
requests an audience with Your Majesty.

116
00:11:09,807 --> 00:11:11,453
I understand.

117
00:11:11,453 --> 00:11:13,610
What is recorded in that ledger...

118
00:11:13,610 --> 00:11:16,774
are the misdeeds of Xiangzhou officials,

119
00:11:16,774 --> 00:11:20,610
but they must be widely connected
to high-ranking court officials.

120
00:11:22,373 --> 00:11:24,414
[Cultivate Light, Uphold Reverence]
You didn't want to involve Prince Hui.

121
00:11:24,414 --> 00:11:25,483
So,

122
00:11:25,483 --> 00:11:27,998
you rushed back to the capital to report.

123
00:11:28,610 --> 00:11:31,290
But Prince Hui is royalty.

124
00:11:31,861 --> 00:11:33,493
These people...

125
00:11:33,493 --> 00:11:35,174
He can offend it.

126
00:11:35,174 --> 00:11:37,193
As for you,

127
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,285
I might not be able to protect you.

128
00:11:42,973 --> 00:11:44,134
Furthermore,

129
00:11:44,134 --> 00:11:47,722
I might not even choose to protect you.

130
00:11:55,510 --> 00:11:57,733
You clearly understand this.

131
00:11:57,733 --> 00:11:59,189
That's why...

132
00:11:59,189 --> 00:12:01,294
You didn't want to involve Prince Hui,

133
00:12:01,294 --> 00:12:03,613
nor did you want to involve Kaifeng Prefecture.

134
00:12:03,613 --> 00:12:06,450
Instead, you risked your life to see me.

135
00:12:06,450 --> 00:12:08,013
Zhan Zhao,

136
00:12:08,013 --> 00:12:09,450
you are forcing me

137
00:12:09,450 --> 00:12:11,854
to expose the court's own scandals.

138
00:12:11,854 --> 00:12:14,570
I forgive you for acting solely,

139
00:12:14,570 --> 00:12:16,570
but the case of Lord of Xiangyang's rebellion

140
00:12:16,570 --> 00:12:18,334
has not been investigated.

141
00:12:18,334 --> 00:12:20,653
By acting like this,

142
00:12:20,653 --> 00:12:23,250
aren't you alerting the enemy?

143
00:12:41,010 --> 00:12:44,214
Uncle Bai, let's play Herb Duel again.

144
00:12:44,214 --> 00:12:46,334
I'm not. I can't beat you anyway.

145
00:12:46,334 --> 00:12:47,893
Are you sick?

146
00:12:47,893 --> 00:12:51,093
Don't be afraid. When my dad returns,
he will definitely cure you.

147
00:12:51,093 --> 00:12:54,332
I'll give all my herbs for your treatment.

148
00:12:54,974 --> 00:12:56,054
Young Master,

149
00:12:56,054 --> 00:12:57,773
come out quickly.

150
00:12:57,773 --> 00:12:58,896
Ignore that person.

151
00:12:58,896 --> 00:13:00,210
He's a vengeful ghost seeking debts.

152
00:13:00,210 --> 00:13:02,090
He'll eat you.

153
00:13:18,214 --> 00:13:19,911
Look.

154
00:13:20,733 --> 00:13:23,334
Can this needle technique be used to detoxify?

155
00:13:23,334 --> 00:13:24,733
This is...

156
00:13:24,733 --> 00:13:26,374
The Jin secret technique.

157
00:13:26,374 --> 00:13:27,667
Heavenly Root Moon Cave!

158
00:13:27,667 --> 00:13:29,250
People say this technique

159
00:13:29,250 --> 00:13:30,813
can bring the dead back to life.

160
00:13:30,813 --> 00:13:33,293
However, the principles of it
are extremely complex.

161
00:13:33,293 --> 00:13:34,974
I heard that in the Jin family,

162
00:13:34,974 --> 00:13:38,494
only the Fourth Lady had
some understanding of it.

163
00:13:38,494 --> 00:13:40,094
With just the two of us,

164
00:13:40,094 --> 00:13:41,813
even in a lifetime,

165
00:13:41,813 --> 00:13:44,620
it would be difficult to study and master it.

166
00:13:46,450 --> 00:13:48,296
We have to try.

167
00:14:13,490 --> 00:14:15,734
Father, Ling Long still refuses to eat.

168
00:14:15,734 --> 00:14:17,854
She is determined not to marry Shao Ji Zu.

169
00:14:17,854 --> 00:14:20,615
Sacrificing Ling Long for the Huo family...

170
00:14:21,668 --> 00:14:23,290
I cannot bear to do it.

171
00:14:23,290 --> 00:14:25,454
Ling Long is my daughter.

172
00:14:26,450 --> 00:14:28,770
Do you think I'm not heartbroken?

173
00:14:28,770 --> 00:14:30,668
Father.

174
00:14:30,668 --> 00:14:33,431
I am willing to bear all
the Huo family's future fortunes alone.

175
00:14:33,431 --> 00:14:35,690
Let Ling Long stay away from clan disputes,

176
00:14:35,690 --> 00:14:37,734
and live a free and easy life.

177
00:14:37,734 --> 00:14:40,120
All fortunes?

178
00:14:43,699 --> 00:14:46,628
Can you inherit the Linglong Eye for her?

179
00:14:53,785 --> 00:14:54,810
Master.

180
00:14:54,810 --> 00:14:56,690
The young lady said
she has agreed to the marriage.

181
00:14:56,690 --> 00:14:58,930
She is eating right now.

182
00:15:11,370 --> 00:15:13,690
Ling Long. Have you really thought it through?

183
00:15:13,690 --> 00:15:15,994
I haven't and I never will.

184
00:15:15,994 --> 00:15:17,509
Then why...

185
00:15:19,770 --> 00:15:23,020
Regarding the Baihua Sect,
were you lying to me too?

186
00:15:24,930 --> 00:15:27,477
So it was all for Zhan Zhao.

187
00:15:27,477 --> 00:15:28,930
You just want me to get married, right?

188
00:15:28,930 --> 00:15:30,170
As long as it saves Zhan Zhao,

189
00:15:30,170 --> 00:15:32,029
I'll marry him.

190
00:15:32,813 --> 00:15:34,533
After I finish eating, I'll go see Great-Aunt.

191
00:15:34,533 --> 00:15:35,774
Feng Er.

192
00:15:35,774 --> 00:15:38,165
Go with her.

193
00:15:57,530 --> 00:16:00,032
[Great-Aunt Huo, Linglong Manor]

194
00:16:04,413 --> 00:16:05,894
Great-Aunt!

195
00:16:05,894 --> 00:16:07,740
Ling Long!

196
00:16:07,740 --> 00:16:09,130
Are you doing well?

197
00:16:09,130 --> 00:16:11,094
I'm fine, I'm fine.

198
00:16:11,094 --> 00:16:15,894
When Feng Er went to find you,
he told me you've gained many skills.

199
00:16:15,894 --> 00:16:19,254
When I heard that,
I was happy for you from my heart.

200
00:16:19,254 --> 00:16:22,293
On this journey, I have indeed seen a lot.

201
00:16:22,293 --> 00:16:25,450
- And I even made two good friends.
- Is that so?

202
00:16:25,450 --> 00:16:26,890
I came back this time

203
00:16:26,890 --> 00:16:30,343
to ask you a favor.

204
00:16:35,914 --> 00:16:37,893
Father.

205
00:16:40,094 --> 00:16:42,574
Shao Ji Zu sent word.

206
00:16:42,574 --> 00:16:44,413
He said that in a few days,

207
00:16:44,413 --> 00:16:46,812
he will come to take her away.

208
00:16:49,998 --> 00:16:51,493
The wedding date hasn't arrived yet.

209
00:16:51,493 --> 00:16:54,214
How can he take her to his manor?

210
00:16:54,214 --> 00:16:55,814
Acting in such a manner,

211
00:16:55,814 --> 00:16:58,537
where does that leave Ling Long's reputation?

212
00:16:59,694 --> 00:17:01,214
Truly absurd!

213
00:17:01,214 --> 00:17:03,777
This is indeed inappropriate.

214
00:17:04,574 --> 00:17:06,013
Keep a close eye on her.

215
00:17:06,013 --> 00:17:07,773
We will discuss this further later.

216
00:17:07,773 --> 00:17:09,125
Yes, sir.

217
00:17:11,854 --> 00:17:17,490
Regarding the antidote, I can help you
send a messenger pigeon to ask the Baihua Sect.

218
00:17:17,490 --> 00:17:19,174
However,

219
00:17:19,174 --> 00:17:21,054
I must give you a piece of advice.

220
00:17:21,054 --> 00:17:23,214
If you cannot escape this engagement,

221
00:17:23,214 --> 00:17:25,854
and the fate of the Huo family daughters,

222
00:17:25,854 --> 00:17:28,687
then do not fall for Zhan Zhao.

223
00:17:34,650 --> 00:17:37,080
The fate of the Huo family daughters?

224
00:17:37,813 --> 00:17:40,708
Was it the same for you and my auntie?

225
00:17:41,319 --> 00:17:45,090
I thought that since you
and Shao Ji Zu met at 16,

226
00:17:45,090 --> 00:17:47,290
you were childhood sweethearts.

227
00:17:47,290 --> 00:17:52,814
That would be better than your auntie and me,
who were forced to marry total strangers.

228
00:17:52,814 --> 00:17:55,094
But now it seems...

229
00:17:55,094 --> 00:17:57,733
he is not a good match either.

230
00:17:57,733 --> 00:17:59,934
Could it be that back then...

231
00:17:59,934 --> 00:18:02,214
Auntie also left home to escape her marriage?

232
00:18:02,214 --> 00:18:03,893
She also wanted...

233
00:18:03,893 --> 00:18:06,455
to escape her fate.

234
00:18:07,094 --> 00:18:09,681
In the end,

235
00:18:09,681 --> 00:18:12,934
I suppose she did escape it.

236
00:18:12,934 --> 00:18:14,503
But the price...

237
00:18:14,503 --> 00:18:17,775
was her own life.

238
00:18:24,013 --> 00:18:27,574
The Huo family sacrifices its daughters.

239
00:18:28,574 --> 00:18:30,094
Is this marriage alliance...

240
00:18:30,094 --> 00:18:33,947
to win over the noble and the powerful?

241
00:18:34,814 --> 00:18:37,454
Xuanqing Palace and Qingshan Sect...

242
00:18:37,454 --> 00:18:39,533
are just two insignificant sects.

243
00:18:39,533 --> 00:18:43,564
The Huo family has no need to rely on them.

244
00:18:45,173 --> 00:18:48,294
But it is precisely such petty sects

245
00:18:48,294 --> 00:18:51,173
that have left the Huo family
with no other choice.

246
00:18:51,173 --> 00:18:52,814
Regarding the marriage,

247
00:18:52,814 --> 00:18:55,587
it wasn't the Huo family choosing them.

248
00:18:55,587 --> 00:18:57,213
It was they...

249
00:18:57,213 --> 00:18:59,413
who chose the Huo family.

250
00:18:59,413 --> 00:19:02,112
They are all after the Linglong Eye.

251
00:19:03,973 --> 00:19:07,574
The fate of the Huo family's women is
all tied to this Linglong Eye.

252
00:19:08,574 --> 00:19:11,693
I've heard since I was a child
that our family possesses such a treasure.

253
00:19:11,693 --> 00:19:14,170
But I have never seen it.

254
00:19:14,170 --> 00:19:17,370
What exactly is this Linglong Eye?

255
00:19:19,574 --> 00:19:21,410
Child,

256
00:19:21,410 --> 00:19:24,335
if you have made up your mind
to escape your fate,

257
00:19:24,335 --> 00:19:27,494
then the secret of the Linglong Eye
has nothing to do with you.

258
00:19:27,494 --> 00:19:29,814
While you were away,

259
00:19:29,814 --> 00:19:32,373
though I worried about your safety,

260
00:19:32,373 --> 00:19:36,494
more than anything,
I was glad you finally escaped.

261
00:19:36,494 --> 00:19:38,734
Since you already got away,

262
00:19:38,734 --> 00:19:41,312
you shouldn't have come back.

263
00:20:09,130 --> 00:20:10,836
<i>Leave us.</i>

264
00:20:21,294 --> 00:20:22,933
<i>The more stubborn you are,</i>

265
00:20:22,933 --> 00:20:25,089
<i>the less likely Father will let you leave.</i>

266
00:20:25,089 --> 00:20:26,450
<i>You must humor him first,</i>

267
00:20:26,450 --> 00:20:29,650
<i>then find another way to escape.</i>

268
00:21:00,973 --> 00:21:03,254
I knew you would try some tricks to escape.

269
00:21:03,254 --> 00:21:06,294
But I didn't expect your brother
and your Great-Aunt would both help you.

270
00:21:06,294 --> 00:21:07,933
What did she say to you?

271
00:21:07,933 --> 00:21:10,814
She didn't say anything.

272
00:21:10,814 --> 00:21:11,893
Father,

273
00:21:11,893 --> 00:21:14,094
I really won't marry Shao Ji Zu.

274
00:21:14,094 --> 00:21:15,693
I have no wish to fight you,

275
00:21:15,693 --> 00:21:19,025
so I can only apologize to you later.

276
00:21:45,814 --> 00:21:47,487
Father!

277
00:22:09,613 --> 00:22:10,722
With so many of you here,

278
00:22:10,722 --> 00:22:12,694
is there really no way at all?

279
00:22:12,694 --> 00:22:14,734
If there were a way to cure the poison,

280
00:22:14,734 --> 00:22:16,373
how would I dare hide it from you?

281
00:22:16,373 --> 00:22:19,690
Even Master Tang here is helpless as well.

282
00:22:19,690 --> 00:22:21,613
Bring me the Day-Long Cocoon.

283
00:22:21,613 --> 00:22:23,889
You want to use it for Lament Pill?

284
00:22:23,889 --> 00:22:25,173
Let me tell you,

285
00:22:25,173 --> 00:22:27,214
Lament Pill cannot cure Zhan Zhao.

286
00:22:27,214 --> 00:22:28,890
And you've been out of practice for years.

287
00:22:28,890 --> 00:22:30,130
- How could you--
- That's my business.

288
00:22:30,130 --> 00:22:32,333
My herbs. I can use them however I want!

289
00:22:32,333 --> 00:22:34,534
Old Chief! Sir!

290
00:22:34,534 --> 00:22:36,722
The Chief is still alive.

291
00:23:15,734 --> 00:23:17,997
Where did Zhan Zhao go?

292
00:23:20,454 --> 00:23:21,573
I don't know.

293
00:23:21,573 --> 00:23:24,033
He made my life a living hell.

294
00:23:24,814 --> 00:23:27,054
Might as well have killed me.

295
00:23:27,054 --> 00:23:29,290
You want to die that badly?

296
00:23:29,290 --> 00:23:31,650
Why don't I grant your wish now?

297
00:23:33,810 --> 00:23:36,454
You wouldn't dare.

298
00:23:36,454 --> 00:23:38,333
You've scoured all the medical books,

299
00:23:38,333 --> 00:23:40,333
but you haven't found a way to save him,
have you?

300
00:23:40,333 --> 00:23:42,922
Hand over the antidote!

301
00:23:45,373 --> 00:23:48,160
Is this how you beg for a favor?

302
00:23:53,570 --> 00:23:58,173
If I'd known you'd give up
your blood feud for him,

303
00:23:58,173 --> 00:24:00,573
why would I have bothered to flee?

304
00:24:00,573 --> 00:24:02,093
Little Seventeen.

305
00:24:02,093 --> 00:24:03,774
I have an idea.

306
00:24:03,774 --> 00:24:06,370
Kneel down and beg me now.

307
00:24:06,370 --> 00:24:08,347
Maybe...

308
00:24:08,347 --> 00:24:11,454
I'll consider helping you save him.

309
00:24:11,454 --> 00:24:13,530
Even now,

310
00:24:13,530 --> 00:24:16,250
when you're in such a state,

311
00:24:16,250 --> 00:24:18,210
all you think about is revenge

312
00:24:18,210 --> 00:24:20,525
and humiliating me.

313
00:24:22,330 --> 00:24:24,423
I'm not a good person.

314
00:24:25,173 --> 00:24:27,010
But you are.

315
00:24:32,340 --> 00:24:34,570
Kneel down and beg me.

316
00:24:35,570 --> 00:24:37,733
I'll help you save him.

317
00:25:10,774 --> 00:25:12,734
A man's dignity is worth its weight in gold.

318
00:25:12,734 --> 00:25:15,272
How can you kneel to such a scoundrel?

319
00:25:27,734 --> 00:25:29,370
He's lying to you.

320
00:25:29,370 --> 00:25:31,770
He has no way to cure me.

321
00:25:36,774 --> 00:25:39,054
If even Lament Pill can't cure it,

322
00:25:39,054 --> 00:25:40,534
how could he...

323
00:25:40,534 --> 00:25:42,697
produce an antidote?

324
00:25:52,494 --> 00:25:54,893
Bro. What does this notice say?

325
00:25:54,893 --> 00:25:57,093
Jin Xue Wen's murder case is being retried.

326
00:25:57,093 --> 00:25:58,893
The real killer is someone else.

327
00:25:58,893 --> 00:26:00,173
Jin Xue Wen?

328
00:26:00,173 --> 00:26:01,653
Isn't that a case from 15 years ago?

329
00:26:01,653 --> 00:26:03,853
- It's been so long.
- Yes, 15 years.

330
00:26:03,853 --> 00:26:06,133
I can't believe they're retrying
a case from so long ago.

331
00:26:06,133 --> 00:26:10,093
Moreover, the accused is the chief
of the Jin family, Jin Zhen Ping.

332
00:26:10,093 --> 00:26:13,214
Aren't they great people,
all known for saving lives?

333
00:26:13,214 --> 00:26:14,333
What great people?

334
00:26:14,333 --> 00:26:17,573
It says here that even the plague back then
will be thoroughly investigated.

335
00:26:17,573 --> 00:26:20,613
I'm afraid it's inseparable
from the Jin family.

336
00:26:20,613 --> 00:26:22,333
You're all missing the point.

337
00:26:22,333 --> 00:26:25,961
The notice says that the Jin Xue Wen case
has uncovered many wrongful cases.

338
00:26:25,961 --> 00:26:29,014
The court is sending an imperial envoy
to Xiangyang for a full investigation.

339
00:26:29,014 --> 00:26:31,690
This is what's truly rare.

340
00:26:31,690 --> 00:26:34,562
Look! It's Jin Zhen Ping!

341
00:26:42,054 --> 00:26:43,093
He deserves it!

342
00:26:43,093 --> 00:26:46,974
My San Lang is young and smart.
A rare talent seen once in a century.

343
00:26:46,974 --> 00:26:50,254
My San Lang is young and smart.
A rare talent seen once in a century.

344
00:26:50,254 --> 00:26:52,173
Have you seen my San Lang?

345
00:26:52,173 --> 00:26:53,373
Mr. Xu.

346
00:26:53,373 --> 00:26:55,253
Have you seen my San Lang?

347
00:26:55,253 --> 00:26:56,853
- Mr. Xu.
- A rare talent seen once in a century.

348
00:26:56,853 --> 00:26:59,733
- Mr. Xu.
- My San Lang is young and smart.

349
00:26:59,733 --> 00:27:01,454
A rare talent seen once in a century.

350
00:27:01,454 --> 00:27:05,254
- Mr. Xu!
- My San Lang is young and smart.

351
00:27:05,254 --> 00:27:07,260
Mr. Xu!

352
00:27:37,714 --> 00:27:39,447
This is for you.

353
00:27:39,447 --> 00:27:40,613
Do you think I'm a child?

354
00:27:40,613 --> 00:27:42,653
Why give me this?

355
00:27:42,653 --> 00:27:45,260
Haven't you always wanted an eagle kite?

356
00:27:47,679 --> 00:27:50,073
It's far worse than my brother's.

357
00:27:51,774 --> 00:27:53,416
It's a gift, don't be so picky.

358
00:27:53,416 --> 00:27:54,729
Fly it into the sky.

359
00:27:54,729 --> 00:27:56,672
All your worries and misfortune

360
00:27:56,672 --> 00:27:59,294
will vanish into thin air.

361
00:27:59,294 --> 00:28:02,494
I'm not a child anymore.
Who'd believe in such things?

362
00:28:02,494 --> 00:28:04,173
If I fly it into the sky,

363
00:28:04,173 --> 00:28:06,635
will it cure your poison?

364
00:28:15,014 --> 00:28:17,852
What? Sweet water?

365
00:28:17,852 --> 00:28:20,997
You're injured, so don't drink alcohol.

366
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:37,712
For you.

367
00:28:41,054 --> 00:28:43,573
When you risked everything
to return to the capital to see the Emperor,

368
00:28:43,573 --> 00:28:46,597
you didn't really believe
there would be justice, did you?

369
00:28:47,970 --> 00:28:51,700
Then why don't you keep
believing in your sword?

370
00:28:54,054 --> 00:28:55,948
I did believe.

371
00:28:55,948 --> 00:28:58,254
But are we necessarily right?

372
00:28:58,254 --> 00:28:59,587
Not everyone is like us,

373
00:28:59,587 --> 00:29:02,334
possessing martial arts skills.

374
00:29:02,334 --> 00:29:05,453
What can most people believe in?

375
00:29:05,453 --> 00:29:07,440
What can they hope for?

376
00:29:08,132 --> 00:29:10,653
I still want to try to believe...

377
00:29:10,653 --> 00:29:12,893
that what they believe in,

378
00:29:12,893 --> 00:29:17,087
and hope for actually exists in this world.

379
00:29:21,653 --> 00:29:23,637
Try to believe?

380
00:29:24,693 --> 00:29:26,212
Yes.

381
00:29:26,774 --> 00:29:28,660
Try to believe.

382
00:29:29,334 --> 00:29:31,400
And I don't dare not to.

383
00:29:36,330 --> 00:29:39,489
If justice truly vanished from this world,

384
00:29:40,453 --> 00:29:42,414
wouldn't it be tragic?

385
00:29:43,133 --> 00:29:45,250
Though sometimes trying to believe

386
00:29:45,250 --> 00:29:47,528
feels like a massive gamble.

404

Fortunately,

405
00:31:16,010 --> 00:31:18,130
this time,

406
00:31:18,130 --> 00:31:20,430
I was right again.

407
00:31:22,133 --> 00:31:24,054
You make it sound so easy.

408
00:31:24,054 --> 00:31:28,675
In my view,
your trip to the capital was quite harrowing.

409
00:31:29,893 --> 00:31:31,854
There is one thing I don't get.

410
00:31:31,854 --> 00:31:34,173
When you took Jin Zhen Ping
to the Yaksha Temple,

411
00:31:34,173 --> 00:31:36,721
you clearly intended to kill him.

412
00:31:37,373 --> 00:31:40,022
Why did you change your mind?

413
00:31:41,613 --> 00:31:43,650
I'm not reconciled to this.

414
00:31:46,650 --> 00:31:49,610
I couldn't let Jin Zhen Ping die like that.

415
00:31:49,610 --> 00:31:51,508
What is retrieved by the sword...

416
00:31:51,508 --> 00:31:53,850
is justice for the living,

417
00:31:53,850 --> 00:31:56,296
not for the deceased.

418
00:32:01,774 --> 00:32:03,347
The innocence of the deceased

419
00:32:03,347 --> 00:32:06,094
must be like a kite flown high in the sky,

420
00:32:06,094 --> 00:32:08,287
visible to everyone.

421
00:32:11,133 --> 00:32:12,734
The outcome now,

422
00:32:12,734 --> 00:32:15,453
did it bring you more peace of mind...

423
00:32:15,453 --> 00:32:17,625
than simply killing Jin Zhen Ping?

424
00:32:25,014 --> 00:32:27,212
I think I understand now.

425
00:32:28,574 --> 00:32:31,173
You aren't loyal to the court,

426
00:32:31,173 --> 00:32:34,251
- you're using it.
- My Lord!

427
00:32:34,251 --> 00:32:36,176
My Lord!

428
00:32:39,213 --> 00:32:41,130
- My Lord. You're finally back.
- Hey, genius.

429
00:32:41,130 --> 00:32:42,534
On this trip to the capital,

430
00:32:42,534 --> 00:32:44,653
I brought you pastries from Kaifeng.

431
00:32:44,653 --> 00:32:46,294
You can eat them back at the inn.

432
00:32:46,294 --> 00:32:48,130
Why didn't you take me back?

433
00:32:48,130 --> 00:32:50,564
I really miss Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.

434
00:32:50,564 --> 00:32:51,610
You miss them?

435
00:32:51,610 --> 00:32:53,094
Well, they miss you too.

436
00:32:53,094 --> 00:32:54,814
Once our mission is complete,

437
00:32:54,814 --> 00:32:56,887
we can return to the capital.

438
00:33:03,854 --> 00:33:07,933
When I return, I will order the Imperial
Academy of Medicine to find you a cure.

439
00:33:07,933 --> 00:33:09,334
Thank you, Your Highness.

440
00:33:09,334 --> 00:33:11,413
Don't mention it.

441
00:33:11,413 --> 00:33:12,973
As for Si Ming,

442
00:33:12,973 --> 00:33:14,973
the men I sent out earlier have reported.

443
00:33:14,973 --> 00:33:17,534
They found traces of him in Wanshan County.

444
00:33:17,534 --> 00:33:19,094
I checked his records.

445
00:33:19,094 --> 00:33:22,362
He did indeed serve as a clerk there.

446
00:33:23,413 --> 00:33:25,150
Your Highness!

447
00:33:29,693 --> 00:33:33,014
Your Highness.
Please don't take Zhao Zhi Er back.

448
00:33:33,014 --> 00:33:34,494
Without him here,

449
00:33:34,494 --> 00:33:36,170
we won't be able to investigate.

450
00:33:36,170 --> 00:33:38,050
Why can't you investigate without him?

451
00:33:38,050 --> 00:33:39,690
Because my Lord was poisoned,

452
00:33:39,690 --> 00:33:41,453
I'm already feeling quite depressed.

453
00:33:41,453 --> 00:33:42,814
If he leaves too,

454
00:33:42,814 --> 00:33:45,613
I'm afraid life will lose all its joy.

455
00:33:45,613 --> 00:33:48,613
I'm afraid I won't be able to care for my Lord,

456
00:33:48,613 --> 00:33:51,042
which will affect the investigation.

457
00:33:51,042 --> 00:33:52,093
All right.

458
00:33:52,093 --> 00:33:53,310
Since you're so essential,

459
00:33:53,310 --> 00:33:55,653
you may stay for a while longer.

460
00:33:55,653 --> 00:33:56,774
Remember,

461
00:33:56,774 --> 00:33:58,774
don't cause Lord Zhan any trouble.

462
00:33:58,774 --> 00:34:01,485
Yes, Your Highness. Don't worry.

463
00:34:02,814 --> 00:34:04,413
[Jiao Mansion]
Ling Long.

464
00:34:04,413 --> 00:34:06,494
Aunt.

465
00:34:06,494 --> 00:34:08,333
I asked you here today

466
00:34:08,333 --> 00:34:12,447
because Si Yuan has something for you.

467
00:34:14,333 --> 00:34:16,213
This belonged to your auntie.

468
00:34:16,213 --> 00:34:18,250
When she came to town,

469
00:34:18,250 --> 00:34:20,774
I saw her carrying it with her.

470
00:34:20,774 --> 00:34:24,653
After she passed away, this item went missing.

471
00:34:24,653 --> 00:34:26,054
A few days ago,

472
00:34:26,054 --> 00:34:29,373
Si Yuan had it retrieved
from Shengyun Stronghold.

473
00:34:29,373 --> 00:34:30,603
Only then did I realize

474
00:34:30,603 --> 00:34:32,933
it had been taken by Jiao Chao Gui.

475
00:34:32,933 --> 00:34:34,793
This crack on the top...

476
00:34:34,793 --> 00:34:36,570
He must have tried to hack it open with a sword

477
00:34:36,570 --> 00:34:38,173
when he couldn't open it.

478
00:34:38,173 --> 00:34:40,492
Si Yuan had a craftsman repair it,

479
00:34:40,492 --> 00:34:43,475
but this was the best they could do.

480
00:34:56,294 --> 00:35:00,054
<i>The letters left in He Bo's manor
must have been written by someone else.</i>

481
00:35:00,054 --> 00:35:03,425
<i>Among these letters,
there are three markings.</i>

482
00:35:08,133 --> 00:35:09,613
Aunt,

483
00:35:09,613 --> 00:35:11,170
did Auntie ever tell you

484
00:35:11,170 --> 00:35:14,864
where she had been
before she came to Tanxi Town?

485
00:35:15,774 --> 00:35:18,075
I think she said...

486
00:35:18,653 --> 00:35:21,162
she had been to Wanshan County.

487
00:35:21,930 --> 00:35:24,294
The Huo family has no relatives
in Wanshan County.

488
00:35:24,294 --> 00:35:28,210
But Great-Aunt said Qingshan Sect's Lin family
once sought a marriage alliance with us.

489
00:35:28,210 --> 00:35:31,213
Auntie's visit to Wanshan County
might have been to break it off.

490
00:35:31,213 --> 00:35:33,889
Could it be that she brought it
from the Lin family?

491
00:35:36,173 --> 00:35:37,534
It's all possible.

492
00:35:37,534 --> 00:35:40,453
My Lord, the case is solved!
I've figured it out.

493
00:35:40,453 --> 00:35:41,810
We were puzzled before about

494
00:35:41,810 --> 00:35:44,653
how Auntie Huo learned the plague.

495
00:35:44,653 --> 00:35:46,662
Now we know the Lin family might be
in league with the Lord of Xiangyang.

496
00:35:46,662 --> 00:35:48,570
And since she visited them,

497
00:35:48,570 --> 00:35:52,170
could she have learned about it
from the Lin family?

498
00:35:56,373 --> 00:35:57,973
To Wanshan County.

499
00:35:57,973 --> 00:36:00,093
Are we really going to Wanshan County?

500
00:36:00,093 --> 00:36:01,650
Just go. What are you howling about?

501
00:36:01,650 --> 00:36:06,250
You don't understand.
Wanshan County has a bad reputation.

502
00:36:06,250 --> 00:36:09,694
A few years ago,
Prince Hui and I visited there.

503
00:36:09,694 --> 00:36:12,134
The streets were full of beggars.

504
00:36:12,134 --> 00:36:13,663
His Highness kindly gave alms,

505
00:36:13,663 --> 00:36:15,471
but was swarmed and chased by the mob.

506
00:36:15,471 --> 00:36:17,134
We barely managed to escape.

507
00:36:17,134 --> 00:36:20,090
I'm still a bit shaken now.

508
00:36:20,090 --> 00:36:22,350
Let's go. We need to prepare.

509
00:36:22,350 --> 00:36:25,450
Let's get some inconspicuous clothes
for everyone, and some food.

510
00:36:25,450 --> 00:36:27,130
Let's go.

511
00:36:28,734 --> 00:36:30,025
Bai?

512
00:36:30,025 --> 00:36:32,210
You're already in disguise?

513
00:36:32,210 --> 00:36:34,106
Dressing simply would have sufficed.

514
00:36:34,106 --> 00:36:35,654
No need to go this far.

515
00:36:35,654 --> 00:36:37,174
What are you talking about?

516
00:36:37,174 --> 00:36:39,375
Zhu Zi, from now on,

517
00:36:39,375 --> 00:36:41,235
the task of watering it is yours.

518
00:36:41,235 --> 00:36:43,734
If it dies, I'll hold you responsible.

519
00:36:43,734 --> 00:36:46,312
Let's go. Hurry.

520
00:36:48,053 --> 00:36:50,290
What is that?

521
00:36:50,290 --> 00:36:51,462
Once it's grown,

522
00:36:51,462 --> 00:36:53,674
I'll reveal the answer.

523
00:36:54,933 --> 00:36:56,134
What are you laughing at?

524
00:36:56,134 --> 00:36:58,774
The Jinmao Rat has transformed into a gardener.

525
00:36:58,774 --> 00:37:01,125
Am I not allowed to laugh?

526
00:37:37,734 --> 00:37:39,050
Your Highness.

527
00:37:39,050 --> 00:37:40,657
The names from the ledger

528
00:37:40,657 --> 00:37:43,171
are all here.

529
00:38:10,695 --> 00:38:14,200
You have a remarkable memory.

530
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,053
I am merely dedicated to serving Your Highness.

531
00:38:18,053 --> 00:38:21,550
Since I've brought you back to the manor,

532
00:38:22,134 --> 00:38:23,836
I won't be too

533
00:38:23,836 --> 00:38:26,614
harsh on you.

534
00:38:26,614 --> 00:38:28,684
Rest assured and stay here.

535
00:38:28,684 --> 00:38:30,090
There will be a time...

536
00:38:30,090 --> 00:38:33,130
for you to use your talents.

537
00:38:39,294 --> 00:38:41,210
I, Qiu Han,

538
00:38:41,210 --> 00:38:43,370
thank Your Highness.

539
00:38:43,370 --> 00:38:47,690
I will devote my whole life to you!

540
00:38:50,413 --> 00:38:51,654
Your Highness.

541
00:38:51,654 --> 00:38:56,573
I have heard that Zhan Zhao and his party
are heading toward Wanshan County.

542
00:38:56,573 --> 00:38:58,413
I have also made some arrangements,

543
00:38:58,413 --> 00:39:01,897
hoping to assist Dong Jun.

544
00:39:02,573 --> 00:39:03,694
Rise.

545
00:39:03,694 --> 00:39:05,433
You may leave.

546
00:39:09,227 --> 00:39:10,802
Yes.

547
00:39:18,654 --> 00:39:20,570
Your Highness,

548
00:39:20,570 --> 00:39:23,090
I shall take my leave.

549
00:39:29,093 --> 00:39:30,294
Your Highness.

550
00:39:30,294 --> 00:39:32,210
What Si Ming just said

551
00:39:32,210 --> 00:39:34,970
seemed to be from the heart.

552
00:39:34,970 --> 00:39:37,130
The officials on this list...

553
00:39:37,130 --> 00:39:39,225
They only served us

554
00:39:39,225 --> 00:39:41,728
because they were controlled by the ledger.

555
00:39:44,174 --> 00:39:46,650
It was also he...

556
00:39:46,650 --> 00:39:50,850
who personally destroyed
the foundation he built.

557
00:39:50,850 --> 00:39:52,762
My nephew there...

558
00:39:52,762 --> 00:39:57,254
has already made a move
against the people on the list.

559
00:39:57,254 --> 00:39:59,890
I have already known about his plan

560
00:39:59,890 --> 00:40:01,686
in Wanshan County.

561
00:40:01,686 --> 00:40:04,725
There is nothing brilliant about it.

562
00:40:05,854 --> 00:40:08,053
Fortunately, Dong Jun is there.

563
00:40:08,053 --> 00:40:10,013
He'll keep it under control.

564
00:40:10,013 --> 00:40:11,533
Indeed.

565
00:40:11,533 --> 00:40:13,134
Please rest assured.

566
00:40:13,134 --> 00:40:15,533
With Shan Gui and Dong Jun there,

567
00:40:15,533 --> 00:40:17,970
our grand plan will be
as stable as the mountain.

568
00:40:17,970 --> 00:40:19,930
Stable?

569
00:40:19,930 --> 00:40:24,170
Zhan Zhao has already ruined half of my domain!

570
00:40:25,174 --> 00:40:26,893
Alright, alright.

571
00:40:26,893 --> 00:40:28,712
Blackie.

572
00:40:28,712 --> 00:40:34,037
Shouldn't we stop focusing
only on the Central Plains?

573
00:40:35,370 --> 00:40:37,893
Shouldn't we...

574
00:40:37,893 --> 00:40:41,800
shift our focus toward the northwest?

575
00:40:44,013 --> 00:40:47,093
Your Highness, do you mean...

576
00:40:47,093 --> 00:40:50,933
The letter that Liu Hong Yi
intercepted earlier,

577
00:40:50,933 --> 00:40:53,525
it was a generous gift from them.

578
00:40:53,525 --> 00:40:55,214
Then we should...

579
00:40:55,214 --> 00:40:57,453
return the favor.

580
00:40:57,453 --> 00:40:59,053
We should also...

581
00:40:59,053 --> 00:41:01,373
prepare some gifts for them.

582
00:41:01,373 --> 00:41:03,174
Perhaps one day,

583
00:41:03,174 --> 00:41:07,491
they might actually be of help to us.

584
00:41:08,174 --> 00:41:09,290
I understand.

585
00:41:09,290 --> 00:41:10,370
I'll see to it right away.

586
00:41:10,370 --> 00:41:12,650
[Wanshan County]

587
00:41:23,933 --> 00:41:25,453
Zhao Zhi Er,

588
00:41:25,453 --> 00:41:28,650
is this what you called a dangerous place?

589
00:41:28,650 --> 00:41:31,250
Did we walk into the wrong place?

590
00:41:32,294 --> 00:41:35,294
This place is surrounded by mountains
and lacks arable land.

591
00:41:35,294 --> 00:41:36,653
Aside from weeds and rocks,

592
00:41:36,653 --> 00:41:38,334
it has nothing.

593
00:41:38,334 --> 00:41:42,065
It seems it was indeed a backwater back then.

594
00:41:42,693 --> 00:41:44,933
To have such a bustling market now...

595
00:41:44,933 --> 00:41:46,402
it shows that the local officials

596
00:41:46,402 --> 00:41:48,833
has governed this place well.

597
00:41:49,634 --> 00:41:51,373
Who lost their purse?

598
00:41:51,373 --> 00:41:52,493
Is this your purse?

599
00:41:52,493 --> 00:41:54,814
- No.
- No?

600
00:41:54,814 --> 00:41:57,287
Who lost their purse?

601
00:41:58,287 --> 00:42:00,577
Is this your purse?

602
00:42:00,577 --> 00:42:03,300
Then I'll hang it here.

603
00:42:10,214 --> 00:42:13,053
I've only read about this in books.
No one picks up lost items on the road.

604
00:42:13,053 --> 00:42:15,800
I've finally seen it with my own eyes today.

605
00:42:23,254 --> 00:42:24,814
[Wanted Order]
This is...

606
00:42:24,814 --> 00:42:26,013
Mo Dao?

607
00:42:26,013 --> 00:42:27,013
Interesting.

608
00:42:27,013 --> 00:42:28,810
Xiuluo Cult belongs to Lord of Xiangyang.

609
00:42:28,810 --> 00:42:31,854
By doing this, the magistrate is clearly
defying Lord of Xiangyang.

610
00:42:31,854 --> 00:42:34,290
Indeed. He actually dared to issue
a warrant for Xiuluo Cult.

611
00:42:34,290 --> 00:42:35,814
He is quite bold.

612
00:42:35,814 --> 00:42:37,779
With only the manpower of a small county,

613
00:42:37,779 --> 00:42:40,294
can he really match Xiuluo Cult?

614
00:42:40,294 --> 00:42:42,694
One look and I know you aren't locals.

615
00:42:42,694 --> 00:42:44,893
You don't know how capable
our Magistrate Hu is.

616
00:42:44,893 --> 00:42:46,453
Ever since he took office,

617
00:42:46,453 --> 00:42:48,573
the local bandits and bullies,

618
00:42:48,573 --> 00:42:50,573
no matter how vicious,

619
00:42:50,573 --> 00:42:52,533
they have all been dealt with.

620
00:42:52,533 --> 00:42:55,533
This is an old notice.

621
00:42:55,533 --> 00:42:58,533
Xiuluo Cult fled long ago.

622
00:42:58,533 --> 00:43:02,625
They don't dare come here to cause any trouble.

623
00:43:02,625 --> 00:43:03,893
Sir,

624
00:43:03,893 --> 00:43:07,664
do you know where the Lin family
of the Qingshan Sect is?
