Braveness of the Ming

Episode 07

I really don't know whom we've offended.

This is a one-way trip.

Ji might only wait to collect our corpses.

Younger Brother Xia,

why aren't you worried at all?

Could it be that you have an idea in mind?

Exactly.

What do you mean by that?

Think about it.

In this city of Beiping,

who could possess such a large group of guards?

And who would

dare to escort prisoners without any concern?

Most importantly,

whose entourage

would include a monk?

Are you saying they are Prince Yan's?

Smart.

If I'm not mistaken,

the woman is the Princess Consort of Yan,

and the young girl beside her

is her younger sister.

This young lady is the youngest daughter of the Duke of Zhongshan.

I never expected...

Truly never expected.

If the Princess Consort of Yan has captured us,

this matter is easier to handle.

Prince of Yan can't possibly disregard Prince of Qi's face, can he?

It makes sense.

Just a guess that there's no way to confirm it.

Think about it.

When we were about to pass through the city gate,

did you see the guard in front

showing his identity

to the official checking the gate?

So you saw it before?

And you gave me long explanation?

I thought you really had sharp eyes

and figured it all out yourself along the way.

Impressive, right?

You really are something.

What?

They are actually Seventh Brother's people?

He's only doing business privately to make money

because the funds for building his mansion were cut off.

Nonsense! This is utter nonsense!

A dignified prince,

actually engaged in these

merchant activities with the people for profit!

What are those two men's names?

I just interrogated them.

One of them, his public identity is Xia Xun.

His real identity is Yang Xu, a scholar from Qingzhou.

The other is called Ximen Jing, a physician from Yanggu County.

Absurd. This is truly absurd!

Your Highness,

since they are under Seventh Prince's patronage,

you must give him this face.

Not to mention several northern campaigns,

he has greatly assisted you.

Just talking about brotherly affection,

it's not worth making enemies over such a small matter

Better to just let them go.

What about Minger? She'll be furious.

That silly girl doesn't hold a grudge.

Sister.

Brother-in-law.

What are you saying?

Minger,

you went hunting and were knocked unconscious.

What?

You woke up and didn't remember anything?

An attack? Who attacked me?

Wolves, there were wolves in that mountain.

Wolves?

What wolves?

I was originally chasing a wild rabbit

but I never expected there to be wolves.

The wolves started chasing me.

Those two men used wooden sticks to drive the wolf away.

You're saying

those two men didn't attack you

but instead saved you?

So it was all a misunderstanding.

How...

Look what

Seventh Brother has done.

Let those two men go.

But they are Prince of Qi's men.

We captured them because of misunderstanding.

They must have suffered a lot on the way.

Even when beating a dog, you must consider its master.

If we just send them out,

Seventh Imperial Brother will lose face.

You know his temper.

Among all the brothers,

he is the one who cares most about face.

Then what should we do?

Should I send them out with gongs and drums?

That's not necessary. Have Gaochi send them out.

With the Heir Apparent of the Prince of Yan seeing them off,

it'll be giving them enough face.

Even if Prince of Qi finds out, he won't be able to say much.

Brother Xia, Brother Ximen.

You're back!

Younger Brother Ji,

are you both alright?

Of course.

It was the Heir Apparent of the Prince of Yan who sent us back.

Pretty impressive.

That's good.

Younger Brother,

you carrying a big sword around daylight,

are you trying to attract the soldiers?

I saw you hadn't returned for a long time.

I was afraid, so I...

Good brother.

As long as you're both safe.

It seems I was too rash.

By the way,

There's a thing.

Just say whatever it is.

I know it's a bit inappropriate to bring this up now,

but, Brother Xia,

could you lend me two copper coins?

I can lend you any amount of money,

but why just two copper coins?

It's like this.

I was afraid you'd freeze in the mountains,

so I went to buy two sets of clothes.

But I didn't bring enough money,

so I left my mother's jade pendant as collateral.

In the end, it didn't even help.

What are we waiting for?

Let's go.

Where to?

Younger Brother Ji,

this jade pendant must be very important to you.

This is the only thing my mother left me.

I never expected that for our sake,

you would pawn this.

You've truly moved me.

I didn't do this expecting any reward from you.

That's not why I did it.

My mother wasn't from a wealthy family.

After marrying my father, she endured hardship every day.

But she always taught me that

the most important thing is loyalty.

And one must not be stingy.

Both of you are loyal people.

That's why I pawned this jade for you.

I believe my mother wouldn't blame me.

Younger Brother Ji,

the way you've treated us today,

we'll definitely be loyal to you from now on.

That's right.

From this moment on,

we are sworn brothers for life.

Young man,

may I ask your master's full name?

His surname is Xia, given name Xun.

Just five days ago, he delivered a fiery red fox fur.

I remember your master. He paid the deposit.

That fox fur has already been made into a collar.

However, the collar still needs to be attached to a fur coat,

and that will take some more time to complete.

How much longer will it take?

In another two days, you can come to collect it.

There's one more thing I'd like to ask.

there were several customers

who seemed interested in buying

my master's fox fur.

May I ask which household's ladies they were?

Well, I only heard about this later.

They were from the Prince of Yan's residence.

The Prince of Yan's residence?

In that case,

the lady must be the younger sister of the Princess of Yan.

I wouldn't know.

Alright, I'll take my leave.

Take care.

She was clearly a young lady.

I could tell she was a woman.

Then why did you...

Look carefully.

Her appearance and figure

closely match the description left by the owner of the fire fox fur.

They are extremely similar.

So the shopkeeper meant

that the fire fox fur coat was made for her.

I see now.

But I don't understand.

Why did that young lady

not just wait for Young Master Xia to deliver the gift

and instead came alone to inquire about it?

Take a look!

The little princess from Prince of Yan wants to buy it,

but that fool actually refuses to sell.

If you don't want to make money,

then I'll help you earn it.

After all, he said the fox fur was meant for me.

Even if I resell it,

it can't be considered unethical, right?

Princess, there is a guest.

A guest? Who is it?

A woman.

She claims to have

a high-quality fire fox fur coat

and asks if the princess is interested.

Fire fox fur? Quickly, invite her in.

Little Princess, I'm truly disturbing you.

That little princess

is incredibly generous.

She hasn't even seen the fire fox fur yet,

but she's already paid a large deposit.

Well, that's perfect.

On behalf of the starving people, I thank you in advance.

Come here, are you hungry?

I have some delicious food here.

Come quickly.

There's food!

Look,

come here, come here.

So delicious.

Eat slowly, be careful not to choke.

I will come again tomorrow.

Thank you, sister.

It was taken away.

Yes, the clerk at the fur shop said

a woman came early in the morning to take the fox fur coat.

She said she was picking it up

for Young Master Xia.

And it was a woman?

Correct.

That woman was also disguised as a man.

She went to the shop to inquire a couple of days ago,

but at that time,

the coat wasn't finished yet.

But this shouldn't be right.

Think about it, such an expensive fur...

How could the shopkeeper

possibly let someone take it away casually?

That's natural.

Don't look at that old shopkeeper,

though he's a bit older,

his mind is very clear.

He said the woman's figure and measurements

were exactly the same as the ones you left,

so he let her take it.

Miss Xie...

Come over.

You go to the store,

find the waiter there,

and send a message to the Xie family.

Just say I want to invite Miss Xie to meet at the teahouse.

There's an important business deal to discuss.

You are indeed clever.

Want to do business with me?

What kind of business?

Is it fur goods, animal sinews, or jewelry?

Where to source from, and who to sell to?

Miss Xie, that...

fur coat, do you like it?

What coat? I haven't worn it.

Looking at her guilty expression,

it was indeed taken by her.

Actually, that fox fur coat...

Since I have already promised to give it to you,

then why was Miss Xie in such a hurry

to take it away early?

Don't accuse me.

Where did I take your fox fur coat?

What evidence do you have?

Don't say that.

The weather is getting cooler now.

Why doesn't Miss Xie wear it out

and let me see

how the style looks?

What about that fox fur collar?

I already sold it.

You sold it?

Yes.

That was my heartfelt intention,

yet you make it so chilling.

You casually mentioned it before.

How was I supposed to know if you

really intended to give the fox fur to me?

I, Xia Xun, always keep my word.

Miss Xie, you treat me like a deceitful villain.

Is everyone in your eyes

just like you,

making a living by deception?

What do you mean by that?

What do you mean?

What I mean is

there's nothing more to say.

When you meet a kindred spirit, a thousand cups are too few,

but now half a sentence is too much.

You...

Younger Brother Xia.

Miss Xie,

can't you just apologise? Why insist on being stubborn?

Think about it,

why did the fur shop owner so easily

hand over the fur collar to you?

It's precisely because that fox fur coat

was originally meant to be given to you.

How was I supposed to know? I thought he was just joking.

What should we do now?

I've already accepted the deposit.

Then just return the deposit.

You already spent the deposit?

Yes.

You spend money way too fast.

Couldn't you have waited a couple of days?

I can wait, but those children cannot.

In this freezing cold,

a single fire fox pelt,

do you know how many

steamed buns it can buy? And sweet potatoes?

The money from a few fox hair

could keep those children alive.

So you

have a chivalrous heart.

I think...

you humble yourself a bit and apologise to him.

He's not the type to hold a grudge.

What, still not letting go of your anger?

Waiter!

Where is the guy inside?

Those guests just left.

It seems they went out of the city.

They went out of the city?

Maybe you could come back and check tonight.

Out of the city?

You've all traveled a long and tiring journey.

I'm deeply grateful.

I heard you plan to enter Beiping

to purchase some goods.

Why not ride in my carriage?

Thank you for your kind offer.

It's just that my elder brother is unwell.

I need to stay in to take care of him.

If he's unwell,

he shouldn't endure hardship and suffering.

Our carriage is comfortable.

Why not invite your elder brother to come over?

No, it's fine.

We'll just stay in our own carriage.

That won't do. If his health is poor,

he shouldn't suffer the long journey.

I'll go call him.

What are you doing?

Since they are offering out of goodwill,

it's better to accept graciously.

Yes.

Brother Ximen.

Be careful!

The merchant who was just sitting in the carriage

looks very familiar.

Last year in the city,

I saw two wanted posters.

They looked very similar to that merchant.

I heard the Prince of Yan will go to watch a play.

They also appeared here.

Could they be plotting something against the Prince of Yan?

Let's not make a sound for now.

After entering the city, call Ji Gang.

We'll follow them quietly first.

Sister.

Brother.

Her Ladyship increased my monthly allowance.

My food, clothing, and everything I use

don't cost me anything.

I've saved quite a bit over these years.

Little sister,

we used to be children of a wealthy family.

Never worried about living.

With over a dozen servants attending to you alone.

Now you have to serve the Prince of Yan,

I really...

Brother, don't worry.

I remember everything. It was the Prince of Yan who captured my father,

causing him to wander for so many years,

and preventing us siblings from being together.

I hold all this hatred in my heart.

I have never forgotten.

Good.

Brother now has a major task to do.

You will definitely help me, right?

Of course.

Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it.

you would never harm me.

I'll take you to meet an old acquaintance.

Let's go.

Don't let them escape!

After them.

Xia, let us go!

Brother, what's going on?

Why are they arresting us?

Speak up!

You two siblings are sneaking around.

What exactly are you planning?

Speak!

What are you two plotting?

What's your background?

Why are you against the Prince of Yan?

Against the Prince of Yan?

Brother, what are they talking about?

You're talking nonsense!

I'm just a merchant.

I don't understand what you're saying.

I'll make you regret it, believe me?

Come on!

If you have the guts, just beat me to death.

Brother Xia.

I don't think he intends to say anything.

Judging by this young lady's demeanor,

she really seems to know nothing.

It isn't a solution either.

Just now, the siblings said

they were going to meet an old acquaintance.

Most likely someone from the merchant caravan.

How about

we start from that clue?

Getting close to the merchant caravan is easy,

but if we want to infiltrate,

gain their trust,

and gather information, that's difficult.

We'll find someone who can act so convincingly

that they can pass as the real deal.

You make it sound easy.

Where are we going to find such a person?

Who is it?

Xia Xun, you're still not over it?

Miss Xie.

Come in.

Sesame Cake Girl.

Miss Xie.

I'm not going.

This matter is of great importance.

They are plotting something

extremely unfavorable to the Prince of Yan.

The matter has come to us.

Can we just stand by and do nothing?

The most important thing right now

is to impersonate that maid

and play the role perfectly

in the shortest time possible.

I've thought it over,

and in this whole world,

who can accomplish this task?

It has to be you, Miss Xie.

Aren't you

the one who looks down who deceive others?

Have you ever

considered me?

I'm not familiar with that maid at all.

Playing her,

I'm very likely to give myself away.

Those merchants you mentioned,

they are most likely

murderous villains.

A weak woman like me would definitely die.

Maybe before I die,

I'd even suffer inhuman treatment from them.

Maybe I'd even be defiled by them.

How can you bear to send a

little woman like me

to them, like throwing a lamb to the wolves?

Miss Xie,

the act is a bit over the top.

See, I can't even fool you.

And you want me to fool them?

Nonsense!

I didn't even tie you up.

Is it necessary to cry like this?

Everyone knows you're acting.

Miss Xie,

that was really good acting.

Alright.

I agree, but there's a condition.

What condition?

Of course,

you need to give me money.

Running short on money?

The deposit for the fox fur coat

I spent it all on food for those kids.

I didn't keep a single coin for myself.

Hand over the money.

Come on.

No.

You really are a little money-grubber.

Alright, that's all I have.

Well, I don't mind.

Young Master Xia,

what do you want me to

trick them into giving back?

I'll use tea instead of wine

to wish this operation smooth and successful.

Cheers.

Who are you?

You are...

Are you

my brother's friends from beyond the pass?

Here to avenge my father against the Prince of Yan?

You're his sister?

So you're Sister Zhou Ya?

You've grown up to be so beautiful.

What did you just say about your brother?

My brother said

there was a big matter he needed my help with.

I had just agreed

when I ran into a few local ruffians,

who insisted on harassing me.

My brother fought with them,

and ended up losing a lot of blood.

The doctor said he might not make it.

So I had to do as my brother instructed

and come find Li Xi.

I am Li Xi.

Sit.

I'm the friend who was exiled with your father.

I remember I saw you once

when you were still very young.

Do you remember me?

Lord Li Xi, you've changed.

You must have been very hard.

Yes, but you've changed even more.

If you hadn't said so, I truly wouldn't have recognised you.

Times have changed, and so have people.

Let me take a good look at you.

Sister, why are you hiding?

I'm not going to eat you.

My lord, when you were little,

you bullied me quite a lot.

You're still as shy as you were young.

Brother Ji, what brings you here?

I saw Miss Xie going alone,

and I was worried you might encounter mishap.

It's good to have someone to look out for each other.

Thank you, Elder Brother Ji.

Don't worry, no one will come.

That's good.

By the way,

what exactly are those merchants planning?

By the way,

Elder Brother Ji, tell Xia Xun

that those merchants said

the Prince of Yan and his family are going to the theater.

Under the theater,

there are intricate drainage pipes.

They seem to have

placed explosives in the theater's tunnels.

They plan to attack

while the Prince of Yan is watching the play.

Explosives?

They want to blow up the theater.

This Bai Yixia really wants to see the world in chaos.

Bai Yixia?

The Jinyiwei official who sent us to help the Prince of Qi

with business, right?

What did she say?

She actually told me not to interfere in this matter.

Are we supposed to just stand by and watch

the theater be razed to the ground by explosives?

This Bai Yixia is truly vicious.

Brother Xia, what do you plan to do?

This matter is a matter of life and death.

How can I just stand by and do nothing?

Your Highness the Prince of Yan, Princess Consort, and Princess.

Please rise quickly.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Today, we celebrate my beloved consort's birthday.

I know my consort enjoys watching plays,

so I must trouble the troupe leader

to arrange a special performance for us.

I will certainly reward you.

It is rare to receive Your Highness's favor.

For Your Highness to come and watch the play,

I am truly honored beyond measure.

Alright.

Let's start the performance as soon as possible.

Yes, Your Highness, please.

Let's begin.

Sister,

I'm going to meet a friend. I'll be right back.

Stop!

The Prince of Yan has booked the theater for a private performance.

No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter.

Sir,

I visited the Prince of Yan's residence a few days ago.

The Prince of Yan's heir escorted me out.

I wonder if you remember me?

It's you!

However, the Prince and his family are watching a play.

Do you have an invitation?

I don't,

but I have an extremely urgent matter

to report to the Prince of Yan.

What's the matter?

Okay.

There is a group of fugitives

who are enemies of the Prince of Yan.

They plan to

blow this place up.

Blow up the theater in broad daylight?

Alright, then tell me,

how exactly do they plan to do it?

Or do you think all of us here

are just for show?

Well...

Since they want to blow up the theater,

they must have a way to get inside.

Ignorant fool.

Stop spouting nonsense here.

You'd better leave now.

I'm not talking nonsense!

Enough!

Get out of here now!

What are you doing here?

Princess.

Princess.

Princess.

Release the Princess at once!

I must see the Prince of Yan!

You insolent wretch! I'm a Princess!

I knew.

You're dead!

Calm down.

I was only joking!

Move!

Move!

Sir.

Get inside!

Behave yourself!

Lock him up here for now.

We can't let him ruin the opera.

Stay put.

Alright.

Sister Xie, you're finally here!

I've been waiting for you. Did you bring the fox fur?

Of course I did. Look how eager you are.

Let's go inside and talk.

Alright.

Let's go.

My Lord.

Zhu Di is already watching the opera.

Excellent.

The fuse is set.

Retreat.

Alright.

My beloved consort.

What are you doing?

What's wrong? It hurts!

Speak! What's wrong?

I'm dying.

What should we do?

Drag him out!

What if he has some contagious disease?

What if it infects the Prince?

Drag him away first.

Does it meet your expectations?

I'm not sure if it's enough, you count it first.

Excellent.

Good!

Good!

What's going on? Is it an earthquake?

Why today?

It's you!

How could you...

Where did you come from?

I don't have time to explain to you now.

Hurry, go!

Your Highness!

Prince!

Is the Prince alright?

Were you hurt?

No.

And you, Prince, are you alright?

I'm fine.

Are you really not hurt?

No.

We have alarmed Your Highness.

Rebellion!

Rebellion!

These traitors. How dare they?

They dare to commit such atrocities.

You all...

what are you doing?

Bandits entered the theater

and not a single one of you noticed!

It's been so long already.

Why hasn't the theater collapsed yet?

My lord, it's not on fire!

Come!

Prince.

What's happened now?

The Princess is missing!

What?

Minger went to the side room to meet a friend.

Have you searched the side rooms?

We've searched everywhere, she's not there.

Minger!

Prince, what should we do?

Don't worry, I will find her.

Rest assured.

Why are you still standing there?

Even if we have to turn the theater upside down,

we must find the Princess.

Yes.

You all, come with me.

Yes!

Your Highness, it's alright.

Your Highness!

Reporting to Your Highness!

Two people outside requesting an audience with Your Highness.

One of them claims to be a subordinate of the Prince of Qi,

named Ximen Jing,

the very one from the other day

personally escorted by the heir

The seventh imperial brother's man

I won't see him.

I have no mind to deal with messy affairs.

Your Highness,

they say

they know who planned this.

What?

They also have a suspicious person in custody.

Show them in.

Yes.

Zhou Ya, what are you doing here?

So it really is you.

You.

Just with you all?

You want to obstruct our great cause of revenge?

You don't even have a knife.

I think you're looking for death.

Kill them.

How are you all? Are you okay?

Is everyone alright?

Brother Xia! Xia Xun!

Younger Brother Xia! Xia Xun!

Younger Brother Xia! Elder Brother Yang!

Younger Brother Xia! Xia Xun!

Younger Brother Xia! What's wrong?

Elder Brother Yang! Younger Brother Xia!

Xia Xun! Younger Brother Xia!

You threatened the guards to open the door

to inform my sister and brother-in-law?

Exactly.

They are now planning to blow up the theater.

Then what do we do now?

We must find an exit.

Most importantly,

we must protect the Prince of Yan's life.

What kind of place is this anyway?

There are two paths here.

But these two paths are indistinguishable.

What should we do?

Time is tight.

Maybe I'll just pick one randomly and go.

Absolutely not!

This secret passage is extremely dangerous.

If we take the wrong path,

we might never find our way out.

I don't want to die in this wretched place.

Always take the right.

Although it's a clumsy method,

it can avoid repeating paths.

Whenever you see a sideway, always follow the right.

If it's a dead end, come back.

Always stick to the right.

Eventually, we will find our way out.

You truly are quick-witted.

We'll do as you say.

Let's go.

Let's go.

I never expected...

I almost lost my life at the hands of these villains.

Please rise, both of you.

Thank you, Princess.

Since you were already aware of this matter,

why didn't you report it immediately?

Your Highness,

Yang Xu, who used to work for Prince Qi with me,

came to the theater looking for you early this morning.

At that time, the gunpowder hadn't exploded yet.

I'm afraid the guards at the gate

thought he was talking nonsense,

spouting wild claims, and turned him away.

What?

Your Highness,

I did hear from the servants

that some troublemaker was shouting

about having an urgent matter to report and tried to force his way into the theater.

The guards didn't let him in,

so he kidnapped Minger to threaten them.

That must have been Brother Xia.

This is utterly absurd!

Where is that Yang Xu?

Where is he?

Guards!

Here!

That Yang Xu who caused trouble today,

where is he?

Yang Xu?

I haven't heard that name.

However, there is a man named Xia Xun.

Yes, that's Xia Xun!

Bring him to me.

Erm...

What is it?

Your Highness, that Xia Xun...

seems to have contracted some illness.

He fell ill as soon as he was locked up and has already died.

What?

Dead?

Be careful!

Sister Xie, how did you come up with this trick?

I'm used to traveling alone.

There are times when I'm on top

and times when I'm down on my luck.

A few years ago, I offended some petty people,

and they threw me into a forest.

That forest was full of towering trees,

and they all looked pretty much the same.

I walked until dark and still couldn't find my way out.

Deep in the mountains and old forests,

I started hearing wolves howling all around.

I thought if I couldn't get out soon,

I'd end up as a snack

for those wolves.

In my desperation,

I came up with this method.

And then?

And then I was eaten by the wolves.

Just kidding, of course.

If I'd been eaten by wolves,

how could I be standing here perfectly fine now?

Sister, you're really brave.

Last time I encountered a wild wolf,

I was so scared.

If the princess is in danger,

naturally, the Prince of Yan's mansion

and Zhongshan Prince's mansion send troops.

I really envy you.

I can only rely on myself.

No one can come to save me.

So, when facing crucial situations,

I have to muster my courage and charge forward.

Why aren't you moving?

What's that smell?

What is that smell?

It seems like something is burning.

Gunpowder.

Go!

So much gunpowder, what should we do?

Based on my understanding of Younger Brother Xia,

he isn't dead yet.

So, what does Brother Ximen mean?

I guess Younger Brother Xia

has already found the secret passage

and try to stop the explosion.

What?

Besides the earlier explosion,

are there other explosives under?

Reporting to the Princess Consort,

these villains have gone to great lengths.

I'm worried that the truly powerful gunpowder

which can blow up the main pillars,

might not have been ignited yet.

Your Highness.

This matter is of great importance.

Everyone must evacuate immediately.

Yes.

Speak!

Where did you hide the gunpowder

you placed in the theater?

This place is full of gunpowder.

It's going to explode!

Why can't I stamp it out?

See if we can cut that fuse.

Younger Brother Xia, Elder Brother Yang.

What's wrong with Younger Brother Xia?

Elder Brother Yang,

Younger Brother Xia! Xia Xun!

♫ Evening lanterns glow, frost upon the moon ♫

♫ Candlelight flickers red where only few stars gleam ♫

♫ In her tower she sings, dreaming of home ♫

♫ Through wind and night rain, her gaze begins to roam ♫

♫ Sorrow under moonlight, endless are the nights ♫

♫ Dreaming of moments lost from sight ♫

♫ A rising sandstorm veils your face from view ♫

♫ Now worlds apart, with no path back to you ♫

♫ Love and hate, awake then gone like sand ♫

♫ We meet, forget, through lifetimes' shifting strand ♫

♫ Right or wrong, the song ends, but feelings stay ♫

♫ Two worlds apart, too far to see the way ♫

♫ Who knows her silent love, who knows her tears? ♫

♫ Who knows her heart, and whom it truly fears? ♫

♫ Who knows her tender thoughts, her hidden grief? ♫

♫ A beauty's fleeting dream for whom does life seem brief? ♫

♫ I'd give my all, through all the joy and pain, and never complain ♫
