Opening Song: 絲羅 - 李宇春Silk Web - by Li Yu Chun

♫ You are the silk of a web, ♫

♫ yet you willingly carry heavy beams. ♫

♫ Intertwined with one another, ♫

♫ from daybreak until twilight. ♫

♫ Sometimes meeting and parting, ♫

♫ life and death, wither with honor. ♫

♫ Exchange and give love.♫

♫ Let the heart return to its resting place. ♫

♫ Your path follows behind his loneliness. ♫

♫ Meander upwards and there happiness will be. ♫

♫ Worry not over who leans on whom. ♫

♫ Once it begins, it will not end. ♫

♫ The song in the clouds accompanies him on the journey. ♫

♫ Declare all of your love. ♫

♫ You are willing to experience all of the bitterness, ♫

♫ Live the rest of your life with him to the ends of the world. ♫

♫ Live the rest of your life with him to the ends of the world. ♫

Love YunGe from the Desert

Episode 14

Sir Meng!

Sir Meng, my lady wants to see you.

Meng Jue, I thought you wouldn't come back.

I know that Father was going to ask you to come today,

so I specially had Xiao Su wait for you.

Did my father say very serious words to you?

Actually, he just hopes

that we can have a good ending together.

Don't be angry.

I only came to see you today for one thing.

I hope that you can help persuade the Minister of War

about my intention to marry into the Huo Family.(explanation: "marry into a family" in Chinese culture, it's the female who marries into a family and not the male, for a male to do this, he'll lose all dignity).

My father was in too much of a rush.

Okay. If you don't want to enter the Huo family, I can tell Daddy.

My meaning is,

I cannot enter the Huo family, and I cannot accept your affection for me.

I hope you can tell the Minister of War like that.

Meng Jue.

You got close to me,

in order to use me to do business.

You don't want to see me now,

yet you still use me to persuade my father?

I respect your heart.

Things are already set, there is no turning back.

If I accept the Minister of War's suggestion,

I will ruin your whole life.

Do you know

that what my daddy is giving you,

is something you crave and dream about, a glorious future.

I am very clear.

Then why did you have to refuse?

Because in my heart,

there is already someone I love.

You're talking about Yun Ge?

Sir Meng,

Yun Ge is only a cook. She cannot help you.

But I-!

I can give you anything.

Even if she cannot do anything,

I still like her.

I won't allow you to like her!

I've finished saying what I need to.

I hope you can fulfill my wish.

Goodbye.

No!

Don't leave!

Meng Jue!

If you need to leave,

I'll jump down from here!

My lady! My lady!

My lady!

My lady! Sir Meng!

My lady! My lady!

My lady. My lady!

Meng Jue. You still returned.

My lady! Hurry and take her back!

How is my daughter?

Madam, she has a cold. If she drinks medicine and rests for a few days, she will be alright.

That is good.

Xiao Su. Send the doctor out.

Yes.

Sir Meng. My daughter only saw you once.

How did it become like this?

Mother. I was the one who wanted to jump into the river.

You jumped into the river?

Did he do something to you? Did he?

Sir Meng. Cheng Jun went with you everywhere.

Everyone has seen that in Chang'an City.

Today, my daughter jumped into the river for you too. If this gets out, won't it ruin her reputation?

I cannot care so much about what others say.

Between Miss Huo and I,

nothing has ever happened.

It's not completely as you say.

If the Minister of War finds out that Cheng Jun jumped into the river for you,

then a lot of things cannot go as you wish.

Mother. You must not tell daddy about my jumping into the river.

You silly child. Why are you still protecting him now?

I just want him to do things willingly.

Xiao Su!

Madam.

Go to the Tangtang residence, just say Mr Meng will stay in the Huo residence tonight.

He won't be going back.

Yes.

-Madam Huo.-Sir Meng.

If you have even a shred of regret towards Cheng Jun,

you shouldn't refuse.

Yun Ge! Don't stand by the door worrying.

Brother Meng must have something keeping him.

That's why he's a bit late.

A bit late?

At this time, normal people would be asleep by now!

He's made us wait for too long.

He's too untimely.

I'm sorry, Brother Liu.

Yun Ge, I'm not blaming you, I'm blaming Meng Jue.

He's not trustworthy at all! How is he a man?

Bing Yi!

Yun Ge, let's eat dinner first.

I'm not just one, but two people eating!

I get hungry really easily.

Eat with me first, okay?

I'm still worried. How about I go to the Tangtang Resident and ask Yi Yue.

-You two eat first.-But...

Miss Yun, Sir has been asked to go to the Huo residence.

Should I send someone to find him?

No.

I can go myself.

The lady is just feeling a bit under the weather.

But Sir Meng already agreed to take care of her day and night!

Of course! He's her future husband!

I've heard the Old Master is letting Mr Meng marry into the Huo Family, is it true.

The old master is the Minister of War, a grand general.

Rock Meng, just what are you thinking in your heart?

My lady.

Is Sir Meng still here?

He's still sitting there.

We're going back first.

We left you some food.

Xiao Su. Is Sir Meng still there?

He's already left.

Rock Meng...

Sister Xu, it's you.

You waited for Brother Meng all night?

Didn't you go find him last night?

Last night...he was with Huo Chengjun at the Minister of War's residence.

How could it be like that?

Maybe Miss Huo had an emergency.

So Brother Meng had to stay with her.

Yun Ge. Since Brother Meng decided to treat us to dinner, it's clear that he uses his heart with you.

Don't think nonsense, okay?

Sister, I'm okay.

You should go back first. I'll go wash my face.

You're really okay?

Okay, I'm going back first.

How is Yun Ge?

She waited for him all night.

Her mouth says that she's okay, but in her heart

she's definitely not okay.

I heard Xiao Qi say today that there is a rumor going around

Say Huo Guang is maneuvering Meng Jue to marry into their family.

Then what about Yun Ge?

Brother Meng isn't thinking...of experiencing their fortune?

-Brother Liu, Pingjun.-Brother Meng you're finally here?

I'm sorry. I had emergency last night and couldn't keep my promise.

You know to come back?

Do you know how worried Yun Ge was about you? She waited for you all night,

-afraid that something happened to you!-Enough, enough.

Yun Ge already knows you went to the Minister of War's residence last night.

Brother Meng, I can see that Yun Ge is true to you.

I hope that you two can talk well.

She's inside.

I got it.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I'm late.

I think you're too early.

It hasn't been very long since the sun rose.

Huo Chengjun fell into the river yesterday. I jumped into save her, so I was kept in the Huo residence.

Fell into the river?

As you put it, you stayed behind to take care of her because she felt ill afterwards, right?

Even if she wasn't feeling well,

were there not others in the Huo residence to be with her that late?

Or should we say that you were different inside the Huo residence long ago?

Yun Ge. I know I made you suffer.

Don't keep it inside of you.

You can hit me, or yell at me.

As long as it can make your anger go away, I can do anything you want.

I just want to ask you one thing.

Ask.

Were the words said on the mountain that day real?

Of course. They will forever count.

It's just that a shame that I made a whole table of food last night,

but everyone didn't eat to wait for you!

Then you can cook again tonight.

Ask Pingjun and Brother Liu to come again.

I'm not going to!

You're the one inviting guests over but I do all the work.

Then I'll cook with you.

Really?

As long as you're not angry, and you promise to marry me,

what's cooking some dinner for you?

You're skills are only so so.

I have a high standard for my helpers.

Okay! Then should I show off now?

What does that mean?

Tonight, I want to

tell Brother Liu and Pingjun what I meant to say yesterday.

Then what about you and Miss Huo?

There are a lot of rumors out there.

I won't marry her.

Then how are you going to answer to the Minister of War?

I have my ways.

You...

only need to marry me in peace.

Can you start teaching me to cook now?

I used all the ingredients at home.

You go boil water, I'll go buy some vegetables and I'll come back.

Okay!

Miss Yun Ge.

My lady wants to invite you over.

Miss Huo, are you okay?

I still haven't thanked you yet for saving me on the mountain behind Ganquan palace.

You not only didn't thank me,

you instead got revenge on me for the favor.

If you've come to yell at me for Meng Jue, I'll leave first.

He spent all night at the Huo residence last night.

He told me already.

You fell into the river yesterday. He should've take care of you last night.

Then did he tell you, my daddy wants him to marry into to the Huo Family?

I heard about that too.

Since it's like that, why haven't you left him?

I don't think this has to do with you.

Meng Jue...is a very ambitious person.

If you stay by his side, besides cooking for him, what can you do for him?

You cannot help him on the path he has to walk.

Perhaps, you might even create messes for him to fix for you.

Yun Ge. You should leave Chang'an.

The person Meng Jue needs

is me.

Because he needs you,

you are willing to marry him?

Why can't I?

Do you not hope that he marries you for love?

If you say that, it means you want to be with him because you love him?

Right.

Then what is your love?

What are you laughing at?

I'm laughing that the love you have for Meng Jue,

I'm afraid he cannot return it to you.

Meng Jue, when he first got close to me,

it was to use me.

He chose you now, because there is something he can use with you.

Have you never thought why he suddenly liked you?

Liking is liking.

It doesn't need a reason.

This is where you cannot match him.

My heart is very clear.

Meng Jue doesn't love me.

but loves my surname,

which represents our Huo Family's power.

But I know that all of this.

I also willingly gave everything to him.

What about you?

If you knew that he didn't love you,

but loved the power you gave him, would you still be like this?

Foolishly staying by his side?

Meng Jue won't do that to me.

Are you sure you know him well?

- Smelly old man.- Don't... don't hit me.

- Hurry up and hand the money over. You encounter us brother's today. Consider yourself unlucky. - Don't... don't.

-Sirs, I'm begging you! I really don't have money!-Do you have money or not?

-I don't have money!-Search him!

Don't hit me, don't hit me!

I really don't have money!

-Please spare me! Don't hit me!-Cut the crap!

Stop! You cannot bully an old man like that.

Miss, are you trying to speak on this old man's behalf?

-Let me kiss you!-If you keep going on like this, I'm reporting you to the magistrate!

The Magistrate? Come, come!

And you say you want to report us?

Sirs, don't make things hard on this little lady.

Don't you just want money? I'll give it to you.

Here, take it!

Kind lady, play a game with me, okay?

-Game?-Yes, let's play a game!

Old man, you dare to trick us?

Didn't you just want money?

I'm forced to, I smoothly touched you guys.

These are our money pouches!

You dare to trick us? Beat him!

-The game is starting!-Catch him!

Don't run!

Don't run! Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Don't run, stop!

Stop!

Move aside! Where are you running?

In the future if you dare to steal money in front of me, I'll make you all broke!

Old man, I didn't think you were so amazing!

I'm so thirsty from running!

Come, let's go drink tea!

Kind lady, you know to help others,

and respect elders! You are good!

What is your name?

My name is Yun Ge. Grandpa, what is your name?

My surname is Ho. Everyone calls me Old Man Ho.

Hello Grandpa Ho!

Hello Miss Yun!

Miss Yun, you saved my life today.

Speak, how do you want me to repay you?

How did I save you? Clearly you saved me!

If you didn't happen to take away their money pouches, I couldn't fend off all five of them!

You played a little game with me, that counts as saving my life!

Or else, I'd be bored to death!

Uncle Hou, if you feel bored, can you tell me, just now, how did you make fun of those hooligans?

How did their money pouches suddenly end up in your hands?

That is my personal special technique!

sneaky thief, that's me.(literally says: wonderful hands with nothing)

Sneaky thief?

What?

What is a sneaky thief?

Watch.

When did my money pouch end up in your hands?

If I tell you, then it won't be wonderful hands with nothing.

Take it!

This wonderful hands with nothing skills is sure interesting, can you teach me?

You want me to take you as a disciple?

Can you?

I've lived for so long and only taken one disciple.

I want to see if a person is fun. I don't approve of regular people.

Then tell me! How can I be fun?

Speak. What can you do?

I can cook!

Nowadays, a woman of your age,

all knows how to cook. it's not rare, not rare.

Grandpa Huo, have you heard of the Elegant chef at the Seven Mile Fragrance Restaurant?

If you mention him, I get angry!

I didn't only come here this time to find a disciple.

I also wanted to go to the Seven Mile Fragrance Restaurant to try his food!

But-!

But who knew?

He's washed his hands and quit

I'm so angry!

Grandpa Ho, actually, I'm that chef.

You can't be joking with me, right?

I can deceive you, but I won't be able to deceive your tongue.

How about this? Try my food. If you try my food and think it tastes good, take me as your disciple.

Okay!

Once I finish my serious matters,

I'll properly try your food!

Then what serious matter do you need to do?

I came this time to see an old friend of mine.

Isn't this Uncle Feng's house?

Old Man Lu, I'm sorry. I've come late.

I didn't send you on your last journey and drink your last cup of wine with you.

I was wrong.

Today, I'll make it up to you!

When on the road to hell,

I see you again,

I'll drink happily with you again!

Grandpa Ho.

So your old friend was Uncle Feng.

You knew Old Man Lu?

Why have I never heard him mention you before?

Actually I should say that I know his adopted son. He was the one who brought me here to see Uncle Feng.

You know Xiao Jue too?

You know Rock Meng too?

He is my only disciple.

If Xiao Jue could bring you to see Old Man Lu,

that means he is very loyal to you.

No wonder, the more I see you the more I like you!

That's right. Grandpa Ho, you said you only take fun people as disciples.

Then was Meng Jue a lot of fun in the past?

I took Xiao Jue as my disciple,

because I feel that in this entire world,

there wasn't another child like him.

To snatch back what he valued,

he could even give up his life!

Stealing my stuff?

It's my stuff!

No one can take it away!

Do you want to live anew?

The first time I saw Xiao Jue, he was half covered in wounds.

He completely relied on himself to live on.

Back then, I was very interested in his

excess in willpower to succeed.

Greetings, Teacher.

Xiao Jue told me that his little brother died because of his father.

To protect him, her mother ran away with him.

Not long after that, his mother died.

Xiao Jue wandered around after that, living on based on his own will.

After I took Xiao Jue as my disciple, no matter what martial arts I taught him,

he could work hard to learn them all.

Even if it was more painful and exhausting, he didn't give up.

I asked Xiao Jue why.

He told me he wanted to become someone that could control whether someone lived or died.

As long as there was a shred of hope for his success, he wouldn't give up.

At that time, I thought that he was just joking.

-The Liuxing badge is here! Listen to your orders!-Greetings, Leader!-Until I met Old Man Lu, did I feel that

He was being truthful.

After Xiao Jue found out that we were friends, he asked me every day

to make Old Man Lu his adopted father.

But I didn't think that Old Man Lu really agreed to it.

-One day, I saw Xiao Jue holding Old Man Liu's Liuxing badge.-Teacher!

Back then I thought he use my skills to steal it to play with.

- I didn't steal it, adoptive father gave it to me. - so I angrily rebuke him.

Don't worry.

One day, I will openly legitimately possess that!

After that day, I finally understood.

The true meaning behind why Xiao Jue wanted Old Man Lu to be his adopted father.

He wanted to possess the Liuxing gang.

But why did he want to have the Liuxing gang?

If he has the Liuxing gang, that means he has over half of the strength in Jianghu.

Little Jue wanted an official career path, and to become a person of importance.

This Shooting Star Gang will be the best backup force that.

Then Uncle Feng...did he know about this?

He knew!

That's why Old Man Lu kept not giving it to him!

Now that Old Man Lu is dead,

who knows who the Liuxing badge was given to.

No matter who gets it, Xiao Jue will definitely do whatever he can to get it.

All in all, the Shooting Star title has been something he's been waiting for 9 years.

You're finally back?

You're waiting for her?

She went to buy some things.

There is something that I've always wanted to ask you.

When did you know I was of the Wei family?

I knew not long after seeing you.

You knew my identity without knowing me for long.

Then people with ulterior motives towards me must have known everything about me long ago.

If you're still thinking about Pingjun and Yun Ge kidnapping incident last time,

then you can be rest assured that they are not coming after you.

There is nothing I need to worry about now.

What needs to come will come.

Why did you suddenly change your way of thinking?

It's mostly because of Pingjun.

I'm going to be a father soon.

I don't want my child to live like me as soon as he is born, hiding away all the time.

For the child, and for Pingjun.

I decided to give it a try and see if my fate can be changed.

Okay.

Then I will watch and wait.

Yun Ge has gone out for a long time.

I'll go look for her.

Meng Jue originally got close to me to use me.

And now he's choosing you, because on you,

there is something useful for him to use.

So you were here?

You are...?

You don't recognize me?

My money was stolen just now.

I don't have any money on me right now. I want to ask you for a favor.

He is petty thief's only disciple,

how could he so easily lose his money pouch?

Where's my money pouch?

Don't keep me from doing business.

-Leave!-Wait a second!

She is my friend. We came together.

Perfect timing. I have to pay too. We'll pay together.

Did he purposely steal my money pouch?

When going out, it's not uncommon to have accidents. We'll meet again some day. (idiom)

Did he choose to get close to me then?

Why did he do that?

If he has the Liuxing gang, it means he has over half the strength in Jianghu.

Little Jue wanted an official career path, and to become a person of importance.

This Shooting Star Gang will be the best backup force that.

Liuxing gang...

The wind messed up your hair.

I'll help you smooth it back.

This hair clip can be regarded as the interest you owe me for postponing the promise you were going to fulfill.

Today, can you wear it?

Xin Cheng?

Did he knew long ago

that Uncle Feng and my mother had a relationship? Did he want Uncle Feng to think that I was my mother,

so he put that hairpin on me?

Keep this safe.

Uncle Feng, what are you giving me this for?

This is the most important object for our Liuxing gang.

If Xiao Jue dares to bully you after I die,

Take this Shooting Star commanding object and find Shooting Star Gang's law enforcement.

and kick him out.

So he was hoping

that I could get the Liuxing badge from Uncle Feng.

The sky above, the earth below.

I, Leader of the Liuxing Gang Yun Ge,

have decided to give the leader position to Meng Jue.

Heaven and earth as witness, there is no going back.

You can take it this way, right?

Thank you.

So I was just like Huo Chengjun.

I was just something for him to use.

If you knew that he didn't love you,

but the benefits, you could bring him,

would you still be like this? Foolishly staying by his side?

Yun Ge!

Yun Ge, open the door!

Go back!

I don't want to see you now.

What is it?

I didn't sleep well last night. I kind of feel sleepy now, and want to go to sleep.

I waited for you all day and you didn't return.

Did something happen?

-I'm okay.-Yun Ge, open the door!

Yun Ge!

Hurry and go back! I really don't want to see you now!

Okay. Then I'll go back first.

What is there for me to be nostalgic about?

Sister Xu.

Yun Ge! And I was wondering why there were so many flowers here!

Such extravagance and also meaningful, it's definitely Brother Meng.

Little Sister, you are so lucky!

Little Sister, Brother Meng did so much to apologize to you,

don't hold it against him.

He must have had his reasons for not keeping his appointment.

Brother Meng, to get your smile,

I think he brought all the flowers in Chang'an City here.

Don't be angry at him.

If Bingyi did this for me,

I think I'd even smile in my dreams!

Even though Brother is unable to express himself clearly (idiom), but he treats you with real sincerity.

He can give you a whole lifetime of happiness.

Not like some people.

They only know to use their mouth and play little tricks.

In the end, they still cannot be trusted.

Yun Ge. What happened with you and Brother Meng?

Did you hear or see something?

Let's not talk about that.

Big Sister, you are pregnant. You don't need to worry about me.

I originally wanted to go walk around the market. Come with me?

Let's go.

Big Sister, wait a minute.

Miss, how can I help you?

Help me send a letter.

-I will definitely do it well for you.-Thank you.

Okay.

Miss, please do not worry.

Yun Ge, who are you sending a letter to?

To my family in the outer plains. I've been here for over a year,

but I didn't give them any letters, it was my mistake.

I heard you came from the outer plains, but I never heard you mention your family.

I thought you were like Bingyi, an orphan. Since you have family,

how could they bear to let you go so far away from home?

Big Sister, the child in your stomach must be hungry.

Come, let's go eat.

Brother Meng?

Yun Ge look, it's Brother Meng!

Brother Meng! Brother Meng!-Big Sister, I don't want to see him now!

Yun Ge?

Xiao Jue, Xiao Jue!

Xiao Jue!

-Xiao Jue! It was really hard to find you, but you kept running forward!-Teacher!

-What is going on?-I almost couldn't catch up with you!-Let's go.

-Xiao Jue!-Teacher, I haven't seen you for so many years.

Is your body doing well?

My body isn't like it was in the past,

but my petty thief unique move

It's still so smooth!

Teacher, don't you dislike Chang'an City?

Why did you come here?

Could it be...

After I heard about Old Man Lu's illness,

I journeyed day and night, but I didn't think that-

I was still a step too late.

Teacher, since you've come to Chang'an City, why not come to my home and stay for a few days.

Let me be filial to you.

Well naturally!

Besides wanting to see Old Man Lu,

my heart has always been on you!

Xiao Jue, you know too. I am old.

If I lose this chance,

I'm afraid that in the future I won't get the chance to see you!

Teacher are you blaming me for not fulfilling a disciple's duty?

No!

It's not that!

Xiao Jue, you know. In my whole life,

you are my only disciple.

You are ambitious. I saw it all!

If you can succeed, don't I get some glory too?

But you know that I'm afraid of being bored.

Can you let Yun Ge come be with me a lot?

That little girl is so smart!

She's kind too!

I saw her once,

and I already like her so much!

-You saw Yun Ge?-Yes!

That girl!
