00:01:32,549 --> 00:01:36,938
(The Adventures of Zhan Zhao)

2
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,840
(Episode 18)

3
00:01:40,357 --> 00:01:43,221
Jing Yi Ming's crimes are supported by undeniable evidence.

4
00:01:43,845 --> 00:01:46,136
Lord Bao will ensure that justice is served for the Ding family.

5
00:01:46,424 --> 00:01:47,560
So that means

6
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:49,720
Will he definitely be sentenced to death?

7
00:01:49,777 --> 00:01:51,000
Yes.

8
00:01:52,070 --> 00:01:53,420
When I was in the Ding Residence,

9
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:55,500
Zhao Hui told me what happened to Xiao Yun.

10
00:01:56,109 --> 00:01:58,955
He was deeply sorry for not believing you at that time.

11
00:01:59,510 --> 00:02:00,795
After you left home,

12
00:02:01,190 --> 00:02:03,349
kept Xiao Yun's body preserved,

13
00:02:03,429 --> 00:02:05,315
waiting to find you and gather evidence

14
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:07,115
to get justice for Xiao Yun.

15
00:02:08,870 --> 00:02:10,093
Yuehua.

16
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,703
Zhao Hui.

17
00:02:20,509 --> 00:02:21,732
I'm sorry.

18
00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:25,213
there should be

19
00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:27,876
I trusted you.

20
00:02:31,149 --> 00:02:32,476
I'm very sorry.

21
00:02:37,149 --> 00:02:38,372
come home

22
00:02:39,829 --> 00:02:41,236
with me.

23
00:02:48,910 --> 00:02:50,133
Alright.

24
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,943
Dongting spring wine.

25
00:03:04,149 --> 00:03:06,155
They say it is the best in Xiangyang.

26
00:03:12,149 --> 00:03:14,526
The best thing in the city is Liuke Hall.

27
00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:16,172
You have been deceived.

28
00:03:16,429 --> 00:03:17,652
Is that so?

29
00:03:20,229 --> 00:03:21,452
How is Zhao Hui?

30
00:03:21,550 --> 00:03:23,853
He's awake, there are no serious injuries.

31
00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:25,875
Yue Hua is with him now.

32
00:03:27,221 --> 00:03:28,444
About Zhi Hua,

33
00:03:29,381 --> 00:03:30,604
I acted impulsively.

34
00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:32,172
I'm sorry.

35
00:03:35,789 --> 00:03:37,036
That's your unsolved problem.

36
00:03:37,569 --> 00:03:38,792
I don't blame you.

37
00:03:39,102 --> 00:03:40,325
Unresolved problem?

38
00:03:43,550 --> 00:03:44,773
What do you know?

39
00:03:46,549 --> 00:03:47,772
About your brother.

40
00:03:50,269 --> 00:03:51,560
Zhi Hua already told me.

41
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,433
When you were young, your brother died for a crime he didn't commit.

42
00:03:55,229 --> 00:03:56,826
So when you saw Fan murdered,

43
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,765
You felt double the pain and anger.

44
00:03:59,669 --> 00:04:01,076
You wanted to kill Zhi Hua.

45
00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:04,680
But Zhi Hua took advantage of that opportunity.

46
00:04:04,826 --> 00:04:07,956
to tell him that his brother's case was an unjust conviction.

47
00:04:09,070 --> 00:04:12,670
So you also wanted to kill the Yicheng magistrate.

48
00:04:12,750 --> 00:04:13,995
to avenge your brother.

49
00:04:23,949 --> 00:04:26,492
There is one more thing I haven't told you.

50
00:04:27,070 --> 00:04:28,293
Zhihua said

51
00:04:28,470 --> 00:04:30,859
It was Si Ming who told him to use your brother's case.

52
00:04:31,189 --> 00:04:33,346
to guide him towards the Yicheng County Magistrate's investigation.

53
00:04:33,709 --> 00:04:34,932
Yes Ming?

54
00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:37,693
How does Si Ming know about that case?

55
00:04:37,949 --> 00:04:39,595
What does it have to do with that?

56
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:43,405
These questions are the key to finding Si Ming.

57
00:04:45,269 --> 00:04:46,875
Why don't we go and confront the Yicheng magistrate?

58
00:04:47,150 --> 00:04:48,373
face to face?

59
00:04:48,750 --> 00:04:50,155
It might help you find some answers.

60
00:04:56,949 --> 00:04:58,172
If you don't want to go,

61
00:04:58,669 --> 00:04:59,892
that's fine too.

62
00:05:00,910 --> 00:05:03,966
Just tell me the whole story of what happened back then.

63
00:05:04,350 --> 00:05:06,356
and I will seek justice for you.

64
00:05:08,829 --> 00:05:10,516
Justice?

65
00:05:12,709 --> 00:05:14,076
yes my brother

66
00:05:14,709 --> 00:05:16,356
He was unjustly executed by the authorities,

67
00:05:17,549 --> 00:05:18,995
and you are one of them,

68
00:05:19,630 --> 00:05:22,875
How can you guarantee that justice will actually be done?

69
00:05:33,910 --> 00:05:35,236
You still don't trust me.

70
00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:11,812
- Miss Huo - I'm here to talk about Chang Hong Bi.

71
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,817
- Please come in. - Alright.

72
00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:15,595
I just want to talk to you about Chang...

73
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,223
About Xiao Di's background.

74
00:06:18,462 --> 00:06:19,685
Then I will continue on my way.

75
00:06:27,389 --> 00:06:28,915
In order to raise Chang Hong Bi properly,

76
00:06:29,190 --> 00:06:31,316
He must drink the Water of the Three Lives of the Emerald Flame daily.

77
00:06:31,870 --> 00:06:34,636
Only those with maximum Yang constitution can withstand it.

78
00:06:34,990 --> 00:06:36,396
Grandma searched everywhere

79
00:06:36,709 --> 00:06:39,355
and finally found Xiao Di in the Bashu region before he turned three years old.

80
00:06:40,149 --> 00:06:42,235
If you ever want to help him find his family,

81
00:06:42,990 --> 00:06:44,213
you can start your search there.

82
00:06:44,909 --> 00:06:46,132
Alright.

83
00:06:46,630 --> 00:06:47,853
Thank you.

84
00:06:51,389 --> 00:06:54,680
Xiao Di, I apologize for the things I have done to you before.

85
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,103
But rest assured,

86
00:06:56,550 --> 00:06:57,915
From now on, with Lady Huo by your side,

87
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,662
Those inhuman days will never return.

88
00:07:06,310 --> 00:07:07,533
Wait.

89
00:07:10,990 --> 00:07:13,915
I found out about your situation from Bai.

90
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,593
I understand that everything you did in Hanshui Palace

91
00:07:16,783 --> 00:07:18,006
It really wasn't your choice.

92
00:07:18,990 --> 00:07:22,196
Now, Jing Yi Ming will soon be taken to the capital to stand trial.

93
00:07:23,349 --> 00:07:25,795
The court will decide his fate.

94
00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:29,960
It's time for you to let go of the burden you've been carrying.

95
00:07:35,550 --> 00:07:36,956
The way you're dressed today

96
00:07:37,670 --> 00:07:40,653
It looks much better than that cold, stiff one you wore before.

97
00:07:42,430 --> 00:07:44,276
When I see Jing Yi Ming die with my own eyes,

98
00:07:45,750 --> 00:07:47,276
Then I'll let it go.

99
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,263
Bye bye.

100
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,423
It's you.

101
00:09:22,750 --> 00:09:24,035
You are still alive.

102
00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:25,773
Yes.

103
00:09:26,110 --> 00:09:27,996
The only reason I've stayed alive until now

104
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:31,355
I was going to come for you.

105
00:09:34,349 --> 00:09:35,715
So this is your courage?

106
00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:37,636
You only dare to seek revenge

107
00:09:38,430 --> 00:09:39,653
Now that I have fallen.

108
00:09:43,509 --> 00:09:44,732
Continue then.

109
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,640
I'm not a coward like you.

110
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,904
If all I wanted was to kill you with one blow,

111
00:09:52,190 --> 00:09:53,756
There would be no reason for me to come here.

112
00:09:53,990 --> 00:09:55,640
This cage is forged with black iron.

113
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,104
Even if you kill me, you won't escape from this place.

114
00:09:58,469 --> 00:10:01,115
So let's settle this once and for all.

115
00:10:01,430 --> 00:10:02,756
What arrogance.

116
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:05,035
A little brat like you

117
00:10:05,430 --> 00:10:06,795
Do you dare to challenge me?

118
00:10:07,670 --> 00:10:10,572
You think you came here today as a hunter.

119
00:10:11,190 --> 00:10:15,720
But to me, you're just prey with one foot in the grave.

120
00:10:36,790 --> 00:10:38,812
One year difference and your skills have improved a lot.

121
00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:10,253
If your brother hadn't hurt me,

122
00:11:10,949 --> 00:11:13,075
I would have already killed you with a palm strike.

123
00:11:13,310 --> 00:11:15,332
If you can't kill me it's because you're incapable.

124
00:11:15,423 --> 00:11:16,662
Stop making excuses.

125
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:17,983
Can't stand losing?

126
00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:29,100
You are at death's door. Stop fighting.

127
00:11:29,589 --> 00:11:31,035
I will kill you now.

128
00:12:02,869 --> 00:12:04,555
When I see Jing Yi Ming die with my own eyes,

129
00:12:05,589 --> 00:12:07,075
Then I'll let it go.

130
00:12:41,150 --> 00:12:42,373
now you see

131
00:12:42,749 --> 00:12:44,396
I am more than just Ding Yue Hua.

132
00:12:44,709 --> 00:12:46,276
I have been serving in the Hanshui Palace,

133
00:12:46,550 --> 00:12:48,516
Hiding my name and living like a coward,

134
00:12:49,709 --> 00:12:51,636
Everything to get my hands on this weapon.

135
00:12:52,190 --> 00:12:54,396
So what if your Great Palm of Compassion has no comparison in the world?

136
00:12:54,829 --> 00:12:56,276
I said I would kill you,

137
00:12:57,150 --> 00:12:58,516
and I would do it.

138
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,839
You've been doing bad things for over a decade.

139
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,281
ruining countless girls.

140
00:13:11,430 --> 00:13:13,933
You killed my father, you seriously injured my brothers,

141
00:13:14,056 --> 00:13:15,422
And it destroyed my family!

142
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:17,927
So today,

143
00:13:18,749 --> 00:13:20,630
I want you to die before my eyes.

144
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,560
I want you to witness how an ant can kill an elephant.

145
00:13:26,469 --> 00:13:27,876
Even in the underworld,

146
00:13:28,989 --> 00:13:30,476
remember this,

147
00:13:31,709 --> 00:13:32,932
the one who killed you

148
00:13:34,150 --> 00:13:36,195
She is the daughter of the Ding family.

149
00:14:29,390 --> 00:14:30,476
Yuehua.

150
00:14:31,150 --> 00:14:32,373
Mrs. Huo,

151
00:14:33,390 --> 00:14:34,795
You don't need to say another word.

152
00:14:36,030 --> 00:14:37,555
When it comes to revenge,

153
00:14:38,430 --> 00:14:39,915
How could I leave it to someone else?

154
00:14:43,589 --> 00:14:45,040
As I told you before,

155
00:14:45,390 --> 00:14:48,155
I was only able to truly let him go after seeing Jing Yi Ming dead.

156
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,647
with my own eyes.

157
00:14:53,989 --> 00:14:56,840
And now, I'm finally free.

158
00:14:57,949 --> 00:14:59,356
You killed a prisoner wanted by the court.

159
00:14:59,661 --> 00:15:01,188
The authorities will come for you.

160
00:15:01,550 --> 00:15:04,396
I knew the cost before I acted.

161
00:15:05,223 --> 00:15:07,188
If I ended up being killed Jing Yi Ming,

162
00:15:08,390 --> 00:15:11,140
or be persecuted by the authorities for killing him,

163
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:12,713
I could stand it.

164
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,280
I don't regret it.

165
00:15:49,390 --> 00:15:50,835
The city gates will open soon.

166
00:15:51,989 --> 00:15:54,550
If there is no movement from the prison before the doors open,

167
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,863
you can escape.

168
00:15:57,469 --> 00:15:59,653
Your injuries are the same as Zhao Hui's.

169
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,253
I'll go back to the inn and look for the recipe Bai wrote for you.

170
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,760
Wait for me at Moonbright Lake after you leave town.

171
00:16:05,925 --> 00:16:07,148
Thank you, Linglong.

172
00:16:16,869 --> 00:16:18,435
Did you see the murderer's face?

173
00:16:28,070 --> 00:16:29,293
Take it away.

174
00:16:37,629 --> 00:16:39,963
Officer Zhan, if this person wanted to silence the witnesses,

175
00:16:40,249 --> 00:16:41,735
Zhi Hua would probably be dead too.

176
00:16:42,190 --> 00:16:43,955
Given the brutality with which Jing Yi Ming died,

177
00:16:44,790 --> 00:16:46,356
This was probably personal, an act of revenge.

178
00:16:52,110 --> 00:16:53,333
Officer Zhan,

179
00:16:53,629 --> 00:16:56,212
Although He Bo is no longer useful to the court,

180
00:16:56,423 --> 00:16:57,903
He still died in prison.

181
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,303
We will have to answer to our superiors.

182
00:17:01,070 --> 00:17:02,293
This was my oversight.

183
00:17:04,629 --> 00:17:05,852
I will take responsibility.

184
00:17:39,510 --> 00:17:41,155
Huo, something terrible happened.

185
00:17:44,229 --> 00:17:45,846
Yue Hua killed Jing Yi Ming last night.

186
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,223
She already fled.

187
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,287
Did the authorities go after her?

188
00:17:50,749 --> 00:17:53,353
They did, but the moment the city gates opened, she escaped.

189
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:54,743
No one can find her now.

190
00:17:57,273 --> 00:17:58,279
Where is Zhan?

191
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:00,320
He is writing a petition to the court.

192
00:18:00,522 --> 00:18:04,110
He says that Yue Hua made a great contribution in the Zhongxiao Courtyard case.

193
00:18:04,190 --> 00:18:06,035
and hopes the court will show leniency.

194
00:18:08,349 --> 00:18:09,756
I need to go out for a while.

195
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,833
Please save Moon Envoy.

196
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:00,600
I am Zhang Yue from Hanshui Palace.

197
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:01,999
I failed to bring Chang Hong Bi back.

198
00:19:02,149 --> 00:19:03,372
I have come to accept the punishment.

199
00:19:14,829 --> 00:19:17,773
When I joined Hanshui Palace, I hid my identity.

200
00:19:18,149 --> 00:19:20,786
And now I have broken the sect rules by letting Chang Hong Bi go.

201
00:19:21,069 --> 00:19:22,315
I know that my crimes are serious.

202
00:19:22,909 --> 00:19:24,156
I am ready to accept any punishment,

203
00:19:24,550 --> 00:19:25,773
without complaint.

204
00:19:26,230 --> 00:19:27,555
Throw her in the dungeon.

205
00:19:28,349 --> 00:19:29,756
Before sunset,

206
00:19:30,109 --> 00:19:31,716
execute it publicly.

207
00:19:54,109 --> 00:19:55,332
grandmother,

208
00:19:55,710 --> 00:19:56,956
Zhan Zhao requests an audience.

209
00:20:03,310 --> 00:20:06,156
No wonder I couldn't find you before.

210
00:20:06,389 --> 00:20:09,555
So you went to ask Zhan Zhao for help.

211
00:20:10,669 --> 00:20:12,635
How dare you?

212
00:20:17,669 --> 00:20:19,810
I forced Fu Feng to bring me here.

213
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,486
Please don't punish her for it.

214
00:20:21,789 --> 00:20:23,116
Enough, Zhan Zhao.

215
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,847
Do you really take me for a senile old fool?

216
00:20:26,629 --> 00:20:28,280
You really are something.

217
00:20:28,502 --> 00:20:30,823
Whether people are connected to you or not,

218
00:20:30,904 --> 00:20:32,150
You insist on saving them all.

219
00:20:34,030 --> 00:20:36,236
Fu Feng, you are not needed here for now.

220
00:20:36,669 --> 00:20:37,892
Leave.

221
00:20:41,230 --> 00:20:43,386
Before, you manipulated Zhang Yue.

222
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,609
to use Hanshui Palace as your pawn.

223
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,165
I haven't come after you for that yet,

224
00:20:48,309 --> 00:20:50,356
and now you dare to come to me yourself.

225
00:20:51,909 --> 00:20:53,555
Hanshui Palace turned against He Bo

226
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,167
Not because Zhang Yue and I manipulated them.

227
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,606
It was because you and everyone in Hanshui Palace

228
00:20:59,969 --> 00:21:01,928
He felt sorry for those women.

229
00:21:02,009 --> 00:21:03,255
That's why you acted.

230
00:21:05,310 --> 00:21:07,395
I've lived long enough

231
00:21:07,790 --> 00:21:09,996
to see all kinds of injustice.

232
00:21:10,270 --> 00:21:11,960
I'm not someone

233
00:21:12,109 --> 00:21:15,436
who suddenly becomes kind just because some girls suffered.

234
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,623
The only reason I allowed them to act

235
00:21:17,836 --> 00:21:21,400
It was because he no longer wished to remain under He Bo's control.

236
00:21:21,829 --> 00:21:23,156
The people in your care

237
00:21:23,629 --> 00:21:25,395
We have all lived difficult lives.

238
00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:29,476
I imagine you took Yue Hua.

239
00:21:29,710 --> 00:21:31,236
out of compassion for a young woman

240
00:21:31,629 --> 00:21:33,100
wandering alone in the martial world.

241
00:21:34,189 --> 00:21:36,676
And yet he took advantage of my sympathy.

242
00:21:37,950 --> 00:21:39,395
She fabricated her background.

243
00:21:39,750 --> 00:21:41,075
and he cheated on me.

244
00:21:42,589 --> 00:21:44,035
She had her reasons.

245
00:21:44,349 --> 00:21:45,716
He had no choice but to lie.

246
00:21:47,510 --> 00:21:48,875
would you like to know

247
00:21:49,470 --> 00:21:51,315
Why did Yue Hua run away from home?

248
00:21:51,750 --> 00:21:54,716
And how did he get to Hanshui Palace?

249
00:22:29,230 --> 00:22:30,480
Didn't I tell you?

250
00:22:30,663 --> 00:22:33,079
Not return to Hanshui Palace if you couldn't find the Chang Hong Bi?

251
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,264
How could you not understand what I meant?

252
00:22:37,582 --> 00:22:38,869
If I didn't come back,

253
00:22:39,750 --> 00:22:41,973
You and all the other disciples would suffer the consequences.

254
00:22:42,230 --> 00:22:43,716
In the worst case, we would suffer a small punishment.

255
00:22:44,149 --> 00:22:45,716
Grandma wouldn't actually kill us.

256
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,167
But your return is basically suicide.

257
00:22:50,950 --> 00:22:52,173
I came back

258
00:22:52,629 --> 00:22:53,875
not only for all of you,

259
00:22:54,669 --> 00:22:56,075
but also for me.

260
00:22:56,950 --> 00:22:58,315
I owe Grandma too much.

261
00:22:58,790 --> 00:23:00,013
He couldn't just run away.

262
00:23:01,230 --> 00:23:02,453
Even if it means death,

263
00:23:04,109 --> 00:23:05,332
I will accept it.

264
00:23:07,349 --> 00:23:10,315
Zhang Ri, during my stay at Hanshui Palace,

265
00:23:11,669 --> 00:23:13,733
Thank you and all my fellow disciples for taking care of me.

266
00:23:22,429 --> 00:23:25,990
Do you think you're spinning all these heartfelt stories?

267
00:23:26,070 --> 00:23:28,196
Will it soften my heart and make me forgive her?

268
00:23:29,230 --> 00:23:30,453
What she released

269
00:23:31,149 --> 00:23:33,276
It was the greatest treasure of the Hanshui Palace.

270
00:23:33,990 --> 00:23:36,700
He committed a crime that threatens the very foundations of Hanshui Palace.

271
00:23:37,470 --> 00:23:39,395
Not even death can atone for it.

272
00:23:39,909 --> 00:23:42,380
You have mastered your ultimate technique.

273
00:23:42,580 --> 00:23:44,276
Do you still need Chang Hong Bi?

274
00:23:44,470 --> 00:23:47,555
Zhan Zhao, there is no need to provoke me with words.

275
00:23:48,163 --> 00:23:49,603
For the mistake that Zhang Yue made,

276
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,303
No amount of pleading will change my mind.

277
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:52,926
But have you considered this?

278
00:23:53,710 --> 00:23:55,640
Hanshui Palace remained hidden from the world for years,

279
00:23:55,829 --> 00:23:59,269
However, this time, due to Chang Hong Bi's exposure,

280
00:23:59,349 --> 00:24:01,790
You were dragged into the conflict and controlled by He Bo.

281
00:24:02,629 --> 00:24:03,852
In my opinion,

282
00:24:04,189 --> 00:24:07,555
Chang Hong Bi may be a priceless treasure for Hanshui Palace,

283
00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:09,355
but it is also your greatest weakness.

284
00:24:10,510 --> 00:24:12,075
Maybe you underestimated

285
00:24:12,429 --> 00:24:14,595
your own strength and that of your disciples,

286
00:24:14,710 --> 00:24:18,516
and the legacy that Hanshui Palace has built over generations.

287
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,167
People always say that you are an honest and simple gentleman.

288
00:24:27,070 --> 00:24:30,436
However, who knew you could speak so persuasively?

289
00:24:32,750 --> 00:24:34,820
Every word I have said comes from the heart.

290
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:37,160
Now that the secret treasure of Hanshui Palace is no longer a secret,

291
00:24:37,230 --> 00:24:38,606
I hope you think carefully

292
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,647
Yes Chang Hong Bi

293
00:24:41,189 --> 00:24:43,996
It will bring fortune or disaster to Hanshui Palace in the future.

294
00:24:46,990 --> 00:24:49,786
I sincerely ask you to forgive Zhang Yue.

295
00:24:49,983 --> 00:24:52,716
I will never forget this kindness,

296
00:24:53,109 --> 00:24:54,756
and someday I will repay you with everything I have.

297
00:25:02,070 --> 00:25:04,603
I am determined. No conversation will change it.

298
00:25:04,822 --> 00:25:06,045
If you beg for more,

299
00:25:06,629 --> 00:25:08,635
I will have her executed immediately.

300
00:25:47,076 --> 00:25:48,908
It's time for execution.

301
00:26:51,109 --> 00:26:52,676
You are about to die.

302
00:26:53,310 --> 00:26:55,115
Any last words?

303
00:26:56,669 --> 00:26:58,115
I couldn't repay your kindness.

304
00:26:58,575 --> 00:26:59,775
I deserve death.

305
00:26:59,909 --> 00:27:01,132
I have no excuses.

306
00:27:01,790 --> 00:27:03,595
Zhan Zhao arrived earlier.

307
00:27:04,310 --> 00:27:06,075
He told me about your past.

308
00:27:06,669 --> 00:27:08,756
He wanted to appeal to my sympathy.

309
00:27:09,070 --> 00:27:10,756
so I would spare your life.

310
00:27:11,109 --> 00:27:12,699
Zhan was just trying to help me.

311
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,460
Please don't make things difficult for him.

312
00:27:14,950 --> 00:27:16,276
At my age,

313
00:27:17,230 --> 00:27:19,395
I am not so petty as to reproach him for this.

314
00:27:20,429 --> 00:27:23,196
Still, the things he told me

315
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,224
It reminded me of a story.

316
00:27:27,589 --> 00:27:29,115
many years ago,

317
00:27:29,349 --> 00:27:30,572
there was a girl

318
00:27:31,030 --> 00:27:33,196
He was born into a family of merchants.

319
00:27:33,589 --> 00:27:36,156
Her mother died the moment she was born.

320
00:27:36,750 --> 00:27:38,236
When I was 14 years old,

321
00:27:38,589 --> 00:27:40,355
she was married.

322
00:27:40,869 --> 00:27:42,190
The night of the wedding,

323
00:27:42,270 --> 00:27:46,635
she discovered that her husband was a fool who could only drool

324
00:27:46,990 --> 00:27:49,516
and I couldn't even recognize people.

325
00:27:51,790 --> 00:27:55,916
As it turned out, his father and brothers had lost money in business.

326
00:27:56,149 --> 00:27:57,676
To cover your debts,

327
00:27:58,589 --> 00:28:00,035
They sold it.

328
00:28:01,109 --> 00:28:04,035
She hadn't even been with her husband's family for half a year.

329
00:28:04,310 --> 00:28:06,385
before his in-laws were murdered by

330
00:28:06,465 --> 00:28:08,756
her husband's older brother and sister-in-law.

331
00:28:09,270 --> 00:28:11,595
And they framed him.

332
00:28:12,909 --> 00:28:15,075
He pleaded with his own family to testify on his behalf.

333
00:28:15,750 --> 00:28:19,075
but those men, having accepted bribes from the brother and sister-in-law,

334
00:28:19,270 --> 00:28:21,835
instead, he joined them in framing her.

335
00:28:23,869 --> 00:28:25,092
What happened after that?

336
00:28:26,510 --> 00:28:27,956
She killed her father and brother.

337
00:28:28,189 --> 00:28:29,670
fled as a fugitive,

338
00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:31,236
and wandered alone in the martial world.

339
00:28:32,389 --> 00:28:33,993
She suffered a lot,

340
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,045
even go blind.

341
00:28:38,710 --> 00:28:41,916
Later, he met a reclusive teacher.

342
00:28:42,750 --> 00:28:44,395
who brought her to Hanshui Palace,

343
00:28:44,829 --> 00:28:46,052
He accepted her as a disciple,

344
00:28:46,270 --> 00:28:48,156
and taught him incomparable martial arts.

345
00:28:49,148 --> 00:28:51,113
Finally, that teacher passed everything on to her.

346
00:28:51,589 --> 00:28:54,693
That was your story.

347
00:28:57,990 --> 00:28:59,213
For decades,

348
00:29:00,589 --> 00:29:03,835
I have never dared to slack off,

349
00:29:04,589 --> 00:29:07,436
fearing to dishonor my teacher's teachings

350
00:29:07,909 --> 00:29:11,355
and tarnish the reputation of Hanshui Palace.

351
00:29:11,829 --> 00:29:13,052
We disciples

352
00:29:13,950 --> 00:29:15,920
I have always understood your dedication.

353
00:29:16,589 --> 00:29:18,916
When I transmitted the Eternal Longing to you,

354
00:29:19,429 --> 00:29:22,476
I thought you could endure the difficulties,

355
00:29:22,710 --> 00:29:25,196
and that your actions were decisive and ruthless enough.

356
00:29:25,429 --> 00:29:27,756
Among the hundreds of disciples in the Hanshui Palace,

357
00:29:28,470 --> 00:29:32,555
I thought that only you were worthy of becoming my successor.

358
00:29:46,349 --> 00:29:47,916
I failed in your expectations.

359
00:29:48,270 --> 00:29:51,990
However, you hid your true identity from me all this time.

360
00:29:52,070 --> 00:29:55,196
and even released the sacred treasure of Hanshui Palace.

361
00:29:55,470 --> 00:29:56,693
sent from the moon,

362
00:29:57,349 --> 00:29:58,835
Do you admit your guilt?

363
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,503
Yes.

364
00:30:20,589 --> 00:30:22,875
Your mistake should have been punished with death.

365
00:30:23,909 --> 00:30:25,486
But you guided the disciples

366
00:30:25,656 --> 00:30:27,336
in resisting He Bo and rendered great service.

367
00:30:27,510 --> 00:30:30,220
So I cut your hair instead of your head,

368
00:30:30,442 --> 00:30:32,448
and his death sentence will be suspended for now.

369
00:30:40,790 --> 00:30:42,196
The martial world is vast,

370
00:30:42,750 --> 00:30:44,676
the entire open world.

371
00:30:45,109 --> 00:30:46,555
Whether you come back or not

372
00:30:47,790 --> 00:30:50,875
It will be totally your choice.

373
00:31:35,109 --> 00:31:38,892
That stroke of my cane earlier,

374
00:31:39,250 --> 00:31:40,253
are you okay?

375
00:31:40,416 --> 00:31:42,773
It's nothing serious. Thank you for your concern.

376
00:31:43,909 --> 00:31:47,476
You are quite loyal and devoted to Zhang Yue.

377
00:31:48,270 --> 00:31:51,315
This is what Hanshui Palace disciples should be like.

378
00:31:54,429 --> 00:31:56,793
Grandma, when Zhan Zhao begged you,

379
00:31:56,874 --> 00:31:58,393
You refused to give in no matter what.

380
00:31:58,489 --> 00:31:59,712
But now...

381
00:32:01,550 --> 00:32:03,875
If I released her because Zhan Zhao begged me to,

382
00:32:04,589 --> 00:32:08,956
then Zhang Yue would owe him that gratitude.

383
00:32:09,710 --> 00:32:10,933
Why should we

384
00:32:11,642 --> 00:32:14,568
Let someone else claim that favor?

385
00:32:16,189 --> 00:32:18,476
Now that Hanshui Palace forgave her,

386
00:32:19,030 --> 00:32:20,996
she will remember this debt.

387
00:32:21,669 --> 00:32:24,716
She would never betray us for another sect.

388
00:32:27,070 --> 00:32:29,436
Still, Zhan Zhao made a good comment.

389
00:32:30,909 --> 00:32:33,115
When a secret treasure is no longer a secret,

390
00:32:33,429 --> 00:32:36,035
Instead, he becomes a burden on the Hanshui Palace.

391
00:32:36,270 --> 00:32:39,795
At that point, there is no longer any reason to keep it.

392
00:32:40,869 --> 00:32:42,092
What do you mean, grandmother?

393
00:32:42,510 --> 00:32:44,035
At first I thought

394
00:32:44,790 --> 00:32:47,716
she was the most suitable successor.

395
00:32:48,510 --> 00:32:50,040
But now...

396
00:32:51,790 --> 00:32:53,013
Maybe this is for the best.

397
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,086
There's no one here.

398
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:06,920
Why is Hanshui Palace completely empty?

399
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,909
Did they move the execution to some place outside the farm?

400
00:33:09,030 --> 00:33:11,029
Let's split up and search the back mountain.

401
00:33:11,109 --> 00:33:12,332
They can't have gone very far.

402
00:33:12,589 --> 00:33:13,812
Someone is coming.

403
00:33:34,589 --> 00:33:35,589
She's gone.

404
00:33:35,669 --> 00:33:36,892
What do you mean?

405
00:33:37,429 --> 00:33:39,332
- Did you execute Yue Hua?   - Grandma let her go.

406
00:33:43,189 --> 00:33:44,436
She has left the mountain.

407
00:34:09,389 --> 00:34:10,612
Come.

408
00:34:11,310 --> 00:34:12,533
Yuehua.

409
00:34:14,470 --> 00:34:17,739
Don't worry. I didn't tell Ding what you went through.

410
00:34:17,990 --> 00:34:19,276
He is resting and recovering well.

411
00:34:19,950 --> 00:34:21,173
Thank you.

412
00:34:25,230 --> 00:34:27,075
Xiao Di also wanted to come and see you off.

413
00:34:30,909 --> 00:34:32,132
he said

414
00:34:32,310 --> 00:34:35,013
that you did not mistreat him like the other disciples did.

415
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:36,760
You took care of him secretly.

416
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,447
and they brought him different types of food.

417
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,759
Turning a blind eye to their suffering remained a crime.

418
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,127
A few small kindnesses can't make up for that.

419
00:34:45,710 --> 00:34:48,075
The past is behind us now.

420
00:34:48,869 --> 00:34:50,555
My name is Xiao Di now.

421
00:34:51,230 --> 00:34:54,276
And your name is Ding Yue Hua.

422
00:35:02,310 --> 00:35:03,533
Yuehua,

423
00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:06,463
There's something I've always wanted to ask you.

424
00:35:07,270 --> 00:35:08,595
do you want to ask

425
00:35:09,230 --> 00:35:11,156
If I regret joining Hanshui Palace.

426
00:35:12,930 --> 00:35:15,886
Some people might feel sorry for the daughter of the Ding family.

427
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,183
for becoming the Envoy of the Moon,

428
00:35:17,669 --> 00:35:19,595
but I have never regretted having taken this path.

429
00:35:20,149 --> 00:35:21,996
And I treasure the title of Envoy of the Moon,

430
00:35:23,270 --> 00:35:24,493
because

431
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,167
I fought for it with my life.

432
00:35:30,750 --> 00:35:32,390
After the tragedy that happened to my family,

433
00:35:32,470 --> 00:35:34,812
I hid my identity and wandered in the martial world,

434
00:35:35,470 --> 00:35:36,875
enduring all kinds of difficulties.

435
00:35:37,510 --> 00:35:39,276
That's when I realized

436
00:35:39,669 --> 00:35:42,795
The only reason I had never been harassed before was because

437
00:35:43,070 --> 00:35:44,309
I was the daughter of the Ding family,

438
00:35:44,389 --> 00:35:45,636
Born into a prestigious martial clan.

439
00:35:46,070 --> 00:35:47,435
Outside the Ding family,

440
00:35:48,470 --> 00:35:49,716
I was nothing.

441
00:35:55,030 --> 00:35:56,716
I will never forget it

442
00:35:57,070 --> 00:35:58,833
The moment I defeated Grandma's senior disciples,

443
00:35:59,189 --> 00:36:01,636
He took hold of the Eternal Longing and became the Envoy of the Moon.

444
00:36:03,149 --> 00:36:04,676
From that moment on I knew with certainty

445
00:36:06,669 --> 00:36:08,276
that it doesn't matter whose descendant you are,

446
00:36:08,789 --> 00:36:10,315
In this dangerous martial world,

447
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,206
I could survive on my own.

448
00:36:20,350 --> 00:36:22,653
Do you have any plans for where you'll go next?

449
00:36:26,269 --> 00:36:27,913
During these last few months in the Hanshui Palace,

450
00:36:28,030 --> 00:36:29,900
I learned from many renowned doctors.

451
00:36:30,356 --> 00:36:31,602
I want to visit them one by one

452
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,942
and see if any of them can cure my older brother.

453
00:36:38,109 --> 00:36:40,532
Ling Long, I have an idea.

454
00:36:40,950 --> 00:36:42,870
Wouldn't it be inconvenient to bring Xiao Di with us?

455
00:36:42,950 --> 00:36:44,173
while investigating cases?

456
00:36:51,149 --> 00:36:52,193
Xiaodi,

457
00:36:52,430 --> 00:36:55,636
I found out where your family could be from Sun Envoy.

458
00:36:56,309 --> 00:36:57,800
As I travel in search of doctors,

459
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,445
I can take you to find your parents.

460
00:36:59,870 --> 00:37:01,955
Consider it my way of making peace.

461
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,623
Would you be willing to give me that opportunity?

462
00:37:16,789 --> 00:37:18,236
It's your decision.

463
00:38:10,430 --> 00:38:11,653
You're back.

464
00:38:14,749 --> 00:38:16,233
You're very good to her, you know?

465
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,892
She was afraid of feeling alone on the road, so you even sent Xiao Di with her.

466
00:38:20,470 --> 00:38:23,093
You were the one who let Yue Hua out of the city earlier, right?

467
00:38:24,830 --> 00:38:26,270
The poison has really affected you.

468
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:27,583
Hallucinating again?

469
00:38:28,870 --> 00:38:30,573
Someone's been running behind the scenes,

470
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:32,279
all because they couldn't stand to see

471
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,319
Zhan Zhao caught between duty and personal relationship.

472
00:38:35,390 --> 00:38:36,995
What consideration!

473
00:38:48,350 --> 00:38:51,812
Yu Lian told me that Madam Jing has almost recovered.

474
00:38:52,189 --> 00:38:53,613
He will soon head to the capital.

475
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,663
I have verified the identities of all the assassins in Zhongxiao Courtyard.

476
00:38:57,910 --> 00:38:59,546
Once Young Master Tang's antidote arrives,

477
00:38:59,749 --> 00:39:00,995
We will distribute it to everyone.

478
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,567
As for testifying, Yu Lian and Madam Jing are enough.

479
00:39:05,189 --> 00:39:07,972
Shen and the others will not need to go to the capital.

480
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,705
That means that the girls from Fenglai Pavilion

481
00:39:10,786 --> 00:39:11,944
Are they not necessary as witnesses either?

482
00:39:20,070 --> 00:39:22,586
Will the girls from Fenglai Pavilion no longer have to go to the capital?

483
00:39:25,060 --> 00:39:28,236
Will the girls from Fenglai Pavilion be able to regain their freedom and go home?

484
00:39:29,269 --> 00:39:30,835
Young Master, he is speaking to you.

485
00:39:31,470 --> 00:39:32,513
It is?

486
00:39:33,910 --> 00:39:36,126
Do you still hold a grudge about what happened that night?

487
00:39:36,389 --> 00:39:37,869
When I said that we should save Yue Hua,

488
00:39:37,950 --> 00:39:39,189
Why didn't you pretend you didn't hear that too?

489
00:39:39,270 --> 00:39:40,637
Did you two have a fight?

490
00:39:41,589 --> 00:39:42,995
He is not the only one

491
00:39:43,749 --> 00:39:44,995
who can act childish and ridiculous.

492
00:39:47,229 --> 00:39:48,390
he is angry with you

493
00:39:48,470 --> 00:39:52,012
because you didn't tell us that you were poisoned and that you were hallucinating.

494
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,520
I'm really fine. You don't need to worry about me.

495
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,520
He continues to insist that nothing is wrong with him.

496
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:57,841
Stubborn as a mule.

497
00:39:57,950 --> 00:40:01,293
- He said you're stubborn as a... - I heard him. It doesn't need to be said twice.

498
00:40:08,928 --> 00:40:10,407
I thought that after everything we'd been through,

499
00:40:10,525 --> 00:40:12,602
We became friends who trusted our lives in each other.

500
00:40:12,870 --> 00:40:15,773
But it turns out that someone never trusted me at all.

501
00:40:17,830 --> 00:40:19,906
How have I never realized before that you have so many sides?

502
00:40:20,003 --> 00:40:21,288
Now you even play the victim?

503
00:40:22,629 --> 00:40:24,716
I also have to say something here.

504
00:40:24,950 --> 00:40:26,040
As the saying goes,

505
00:40:26,121 --> 00:40:27,760
Compassion cannot command troops and sentiment cannot get things done.

506
00:40:27,841 --> 00:40:29,446
Some rules still need to be enforced.

507
00:40:29,848 --> 00:40:32,453
We have treated someone sincerely,

508
00:40:32,693 --> 00:40:35,173
However, he still couldn't trust us completely.

509
00:40:35,254 --> 00:40:36,541
and acted recklessly.

510
00:40:37,390 --> 00:40:40,180
Shouldn't someone like that be kicked out of the group?

511
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,283
- Zhan Zhao already explained this... - You're right.

512
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,599
That person blurted out those hurtful words so easily.

513
00:40:45,789 --> 00:40:48,046
He must have been holding onto those thoughts for a long time.

514
00:40:50,669 --> 00:40:52,116
Just thinking about those words he said,

515
00:40:53,070 --> 00:40:54,680
It still hurts even now.

516
00:40:57,149 --> 00:40:58,350
Speaking of which,

517
00:40:58,430 --> 00:41:00,452
You haven't told us what he said that day.

518
00:41:01,030 --> 00:41:02,203
Since everyone is here,

519
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,663
Why don't you tell us how his words hurt you?

520
00:41:05,149 --> 00:41:06,596
Young Master, give us the details.

521
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:08,783
I was just

522
00:41:09,510 --> 00:41:11,515
performing for Zhi Hua that day.

523
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,000
I wasn't thinking clearly,

524
00:41:14,081 --> 00:41:15,833
and I got angry, so I said things I shouldn't have said.

525
00:41:18,269 --> 00:41:19,492
I'm sorry.

526
00:41:20,350 --> 00:41:22,220
Please don't take this seriously, okay?

527
00:41:25,669 --> 00:41:27,653
- About that day... - Enough.

528
00:41:28,510 --> 00:41:29,593
I understand it now.

529
00:41:29,749 --> 00:41:32,013
I know exactly why you two did all this act today.

530
00:41:32,229 --> 00:41:34,620
Don't think I can't say they planned this together beforehand.

531
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,126
All that teamwork and you use it just to conspire against me?

532
00:41:38,109 --> 00:41:39,173
Come on.

533
00:41:39,430 --> 00:41:40,906
I will go with you to see the magistrate of Yicheng.

534
00:41:41,070 --> 00:41:43,596
- He said he'll go with you to see... - He heard that.

535
00:41:45,070 --> 00:41:46,293
Alright.

536
00:41:46,430 --> 00:41:47,653
We'll go after eating.

537
00:41:49,470 --> 00:41:50,693
Come on.

538
00:42:13,629 --> 00:42:15,670
Come on. I will go with you.

539
00:42:29,510 --> 00:42:31,315
Did you drive

540
00:42:32,510 --> 00:42:33,835
The Jin Xue Wen case from 15 years ago?

541
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:37,983
Jin Xuewen?

542
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,006
I am referring to the murder case in Tanxi City.

543
00:42:43,870 --> 00:42:45,276
Tanxi City...

544
00:42:51,589 --> 00:42:54,995
When I worked as an employee there,

545
00:42:56,350 --> 00:42:57,835
I worked on that case.

546
00:42:59,201 --> 00:43:01,320
Could it have been a wrongful conviction?

547
00:43:01,405 --> 00:43:02,628
An unjust conviction?

548
00:43:03,326 --> 00:43:04,549
Impossible.
