(Zhan Zhao Adventures)

(Episode 37)

(Young Master.)

(Young Master.)

Giddy up.

Young Master!

Young Master!

Young Master.

Young Master, take a look.

See if this thing is useful for you.

Young Master, check it out.

See if this thing can actually help you or not.

I ran into a small group of Ironblood Guards

and overheard their conversation.

It sounded like it was about your mission.

So, while they were resting at the tea house,

I slipped something

into their tea.

Ming Zhu Er!

Young Master.

I remember now.

Everything's coming back to me.

It's not worth it

for you to treat me like this.

Zhan Zhao.

You think you're saving him?

He'd be better off dying in this fire.

How could he handle the guilt of accidentally killing his whole family?

He can't go on living!

He won't make it!

Young Master.

From now on, Zhu Zi

can't stay by your side anymore.

You can find another servant

to keep you company.

Zhu Zi.

Zhu Zi is a great hero.

A great hero.

Ming Zhu Er.

Young Master.

- Smart Guy? - Young Master.

Young Master, I figured it out.

Zhou Ji Liang is trying to stir up trouble between us.

I shouldn't have listened to his few words

and rushed to question you.

Ming Zhu Er.

You're wrong.

Ten years ago,

I didn't save you.

You saved me.

You lunatic.

The Ming family were victims.

They were innocent.

There are so many evil people in this world waiting for me to kill them.

How could I possibly tell

who's guilty and who's innocent.

Today, Yaksha killed them.

Tomorrow, even if they're innocent

they'll still be seen as guilty

I like your Yaksha name.

No matter what I do,

as long as I say Yaksha did it,

everyone praises it as right and says it's justified.

Since your Yaksha name is so useful,

then everyone can use it.

I'm just copying you.

The lives of the Ming family should be blamed on you.

They all died because of you.

If I'm guilty,

you're even more guilty.

Without you,

I wouldn't even exist.

If you want revenge for the Ming family,

just kill me.

But if you kill me,

how are you any different from me?

It was you

who gave me a chance to live and atone.

I know

making you think I'm the killer

must hurt you deeply

but it's better than letting you know the truth.

I've always wondered.

If I were gone,

maybe

you could finally let go of the past.

Everything I've done

was just to help you survive

and live well.

Our Zhu Er

is a true hero.

A true hero.

Zhi Er went to meet the people coming from the capital.

Second Brother went to track down the Ironblood Guards.

Don't worry.

None of them will get away.

I also brought the Naiheyin Pill for you.

Where are you going?

Chongxiao Tower.

I'll go with you.

I can handle it alone.

I'm a dying man.

No need to worry about what comes next.

Just be straight with me.

How much time do I have left?

Tang, I hope you can give me a straight answer.

I can't say for sure.

Ling Long showed me Baihua Sect's recipe.

This formula can cure your poison, but it still needs a special catalyst

to boost the power of the fire poison.

Only the strongest fire poison can be used as the catalyst.

But right now I still don't know what that ingredient is.

If we had more time,

I could search carefully for you, Zhan.

But...

Zhan, forgive me for being blunt.

You won't last until I find the catalyst.

I still have some wishes left unfulfilled.

Tang.

If I use the Naiheyin Pill to suppress the poison inside me,

could it buy me a little more time?

Naiheyin Pill does have fire poison properties.

That was why it could temporarily

suppress the cold poison in your body back then.

But for you now,

the effect of Naiheyin Pill is barely noticeable anymore.

Even if it can temporarily hold back the cold poison,

it'll only last a few hours at most.

After that, the cold poison will come back even fiercer.

By then, even a miracle doctor

cannot turn things around.

So, the acupuncture suppression method was also a lie.

I'm sorry.

I lied to you all.

- I want to ask you... - Are you ignoring Xiao Tang's advice

or just pretending to be dumb?

Even if the Naiheyin Pill buys you a few more hours,

what happens after that?

The cold poison in your body

will only come back even stronger.

For you right now.

Naiheyin Pill isn't a cure but a poison.

I need these few hours.

I have to settle things with Prince Xiangyang.

Zhan Zhao, give me some time.

I promise I'll find the catalyst for you. Trust me.

Actually,

I once thought about keeping the truth from you.

I wanted you to use the Naiheyin Pill on me first

before telling you the truth afterward.

But I couldn't bear

to let you send me off without knowing the truth

and regret it later.

Bai Yu Tang.

I want to choose when I die

and why I die.

I want to go with some dignity.

I hope you'll let me do it.

I studied medicine to save you

not to send you to your grave.

Heaven wouldn't just let you

be born into a family of miracle doctors for nothing.

From now on,

you'll save even more people.

Maybe so.

At least in the future, the one suffering

won't be you.

When we first met, I could tell right away

that you really liked it.

It's not much to look at

and it's not famous either.

Hardly anyone appreciates it as you do.

So don't let it miss out on its true admirer.

It has been decades.

The Huo family finally broke free from being controlled by others.

Ling Long.

When I gave you the Yin Yang Blade,

I believed you could change the Huo family's destiny.

And you did it.

From now on,

I'm handing Linglong Manor

over to you.

Little sister.

Linglong Manor was named after the eldest daughter of the Huo family.

From now on,

it truly lives up to its name.

All the Huo family disciples are waiting for you.

Let's go.

Miss. Where are we headed next?

Let's find all the lost Huo family disciples

and bring them home.

On the way here, I grabbed a saber along the way.

Your sword should go back to its rightful owner.

I heard you have a famous sword in the capital.

Give me that one. What do you say?

You should hurry back.

Zhu Zi always called me Brother Bai.

This time, I want to avenge him

I've got the wine ready.

Once we're out of here, let's have a good drink together.

Watch out!

Zhan Zhao!

Zhan Zhao, let go!

Bai Yu Tang!

Zhan Zhao!

The fire poison in the Naiheyin Pill isn't strong enough

because the toxicity was suppressed when it was made!

How was Zhou Ji Liang's Hundred Dragon Powder made?

Speak!

It's made by putting hundreds of venomous snakes

into a container and letting them fight to the death.

Then, you take the last one left alive and use its gallbladder.

Where do the snakes come from?

Every autumn and winter

the sect leader sends us to Feihua Hollow

to catch snakes for him.

The snakes he wants are really vicious.

Most of them live on steep cliffs.

Who knows what those snakes have eaten?

Even eagles aren't a match for them.

Hurry, go!

Zhan Zhao!

The catalyst is...

Bai Yu Tang!

Lord Zhan.

An edict without the imperial seal.

Is this what you called

the solid proof Emperor Taizong usurped the throne?

It's your excuse for colluding with Western Xia

and starting a rebellion.

I am the direct descendant of the founding emperor.

I just want what I deserve.

If it weren't for the Golden Casket Oath,

the one on the throne

should have been me.

The one you swore loyalty to should have been me, too.

I follow a person,

not a throne.

The documents prove it.

To get Western Xia to send troops,

you even agreed to give up Song territory once it was done.

Is there anything you wouldn't do?

You treat the people like they're nothing.

If you ever get power,

you'll never care for the people like your own.

You're always talking about the world

and the people.

Do you even realize that this world belongs to the Zhao family?

The world belongs to the founding emperor.

The laws of this land are set by the Zhao family.

You!

Zhan Zhao,

you're a smart man.

You should know

what I really mean by all this.

Are you done?

Only someone who's lost everything

talks like that.

Lost everything?

To save face for the royal family,

my nephew would never draw a blade against me, his own uncle.

He'll just lock me up for a few years.

When enough time passes

and no one talks about this case anymore,

he'll just let me out.

By then, I'll have a new Siming

and Dong Jun to serve me.

A new Chongxiao Tower

and new officials will become my puppet.

I am still a ruler.

This is what sets me apart from you ants.

To catch me,

how many people around you

have died for nothing?

And what happened?

I'm not the one who lost everything.

Zhan Zhao!

The world has no blade that can kill a royal uncle.

That's right.

There's no blade in this world that can kill a royal uncle.

But, Your Highness.

I'm willing to be that blade.

You dare?

A killer must pay with his life.

Even Your Highness should be held to that!

I...

I'm a royal uncle.

You must protect me.

You must respect me.

I respect justice.

Justice can't protect you!

Zhan Zhao!

Dad.

Mom told me lighting a candle under Wanxing Tower

means you're praying for blessings.

Are we praying for the young man

who saved people at the city gate?

I'm getting more confused.

Earlier, you and everyone in town

said he was a bad guy.

But that young man is Yaksha.

Yaksha is a good person.

But the authorities want to arrest Yaksha.

Child.

There are many things in this world even I don't understand.

All I know is that he saved us

and everyone in the city today.

(One Month Later)

Greetings, Manor Master.

Things must be pretty hectic with many things to handle

at Linglong Manor right now.

When I first took charge of the Tang Sect, I went through this phase too.

If you ever need any help with anything,

just ask.

Don't worry. I won't be shy about it.

Now that you're in charge of the Tang Sect,

it's nothing like it used to be.

I heard

Mr. Huo and Huo turned themselves in and confessed

and handed over the mining method to the court

so His Majesty decided to go easy on them.

We really

have to thank Zhan about this.

I only found out later

he left a letter for the authorities.

Zhao said how you stepped up to help and assisted with this case

along the way

in the letter.

It was thanks to that letter

that Zhao could speak up and plead for the Huo family.

All along the way,

Zhan put in so much effort

to look out for everyone.

Lately,

I kept thinking back to the days when we faced life and death together.

Master, there are two people outside asking to see you.

Who are they?

Master. One of them says his name is Ding Zhao Hui.

The other, wearing a bamboo hat, says he's Zhan Ri Fei.

(Kaifeng Tribunal)

I feel like drinking here is a bit improper.

Painting in the palace is what's improper.

Just now at the table,

you didn't apologize to His Majesty either.

He didn't bring it up either.

He still keeps my masterpiece to this day. I think he actually likes it.

What are you thinking about?

That job in Western Xia.

Another job again.

All you ever think about is nonsense.

You agreed to that job just now

I never said yes.

Then, tell me

what counts as a serious matter?

Remember?

I came to you for the title.

I know.

Didn't I just ask His Majesty

to let me drop the Imperial Cat title?

That's not what I meant.

According to His Majesty, there's no more Sleek Rat after Chongxiao Tower.

Just keep being your lousy cat.

You know that I don't care about titles,

but winning or losing.

Winning or losing?

Wasn't the cat and mouse rivalry

settled a long time ago?

When was it settled? Why don't I know about it?

Let me break it down for you.

The first time we fought,

I was injured inside and out and still fought you to a draw.

- You admit that, right? - That was...

The next time we fought,

I was poisoned by Nightmare Sky, and you still couldn't beat me.

You admit that, right?

So, tell me. What does that prove?

How would I know what it proves?

You were either hurt or poisoned the whole way.

How come you never get better?

Doesn't matter.

Injured or poisoned, whatever.

It's still enough to fight you.

Bai Xiao Wu,

we've fought twice

and I was only using thirty percent of my strength each time.

Oh, that's how you want to play it?

If that's what you're saying,

ten percent.

I only used ten percent of my strength.

Do you believe that?

I believe you.

I don't even care about winning or losing anyway.

Say whatever you want.

Do you really want a fight?

I do.

If you can beat me today, I'll take this job.

Get up, then.

I'll not use one of my leg,

and you still won't beat me.

Bring it on.

Aren't you only good for three drinks? How many have you had now?

Who told you I can only handle three drinks?

I'm a better drinker than you, too.

Am I or am I not?

No matter how many times we compete,

I always win, don't I?

I want to, but I just can't.

I'm tired.
