00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:53,360
Open the door!
7
00:01:53,761 --> 00:01:54,520
Open the door!
8
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:55,960
Open the door now!
9
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:56,641
Open the door!
10
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:00,600
Open the door!
11
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:02,520
Move.
12
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:03,360
What do you think you're doing?
13
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,080
Move.
14
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,560
All this commotion...
15
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:12,280
What exactly are you looking for,
Miss Xie?
16
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,400
Something went missing.
17
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:14,360
What?
18
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:15,960
A Buddhist scripture.
19
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,040
Looks like there's
20
00:02:22,121 --> 00:02:23,280
no avoiding this today.
21
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,720
Enough talk.
22
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:31,760
Search the place.
23
00:02:32,401 --> 00:02:32,800
Go!
24
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:33,960
Move!
25
00:02:37,081 --> 00:02:39,001
Ninth Young Lady,
you've finally learned
26
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,440
where to stick the knife
so it hurts the most.
27
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,440
I learned from the best.
28
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,040
Madam,
29
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,000
nothing here.
30
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:50,680
Madam,
31
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:51,680
nothing in the back room either.
32
00:02:55,001 --> 00:02:55,680
What's this?
33
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,680
A man's socks?
34
00:03:00,121 --> 00:03:01,800
I'm not trying to give you a hard time.
35
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,081
But what you've done
36
00:03:05,361 --> 00:03:07,360
has put the ladies here at risk.
37
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,440
Everyone here today
is one of their family members.
38
00:03:14,961 --> 00:03:15,840
Ms. Zuo,
39
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,400
you pride yourself on your chastity.
40
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,560
So why did we find
41
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:20,680
a man's belongings in your room?
42
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,600
Whoever's in there, listen up!
43
00:03:28,121 --> 00:03:29,120
We've surrounded
44
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,800
the entire hall, front and back.
45
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,080
You're not getting away today.
46
00:03:33,401 --> 00:03:34,680
We won't make trouble for the widow.
47
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,480
Come out on your own,
48
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,400
and we'll settle this with you.
49
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:42,440
Who's there?
50
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:47,480
Check over there.
51
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:50,680
Who's there?
52
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,600
Come out, now.
53
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:52,760
Madam Mo.
54
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,480
Madam Mo.
55
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,001
No one.
56
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:58,560
Madam.
57
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:00,520
Madam.
58
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:00,840
No one.
59
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:01,200
Madam.
60
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:01,760
We couldn't find him.
61
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,480
I knew this wouldn't end quietly.
62
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,600
So I'll give you what you came for.
63
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:06,960
Wait here.
64
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,281
I'll bring out the man
65
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:12,920
you're looking for.
66
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,640
There really is a man!
67
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:00,760
Who is he?
68
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,520
How can there be a man
in the Admonitions for Women Hall?
69
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,120
Exactly!
70
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,560
Get up!
71
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,040
Who is this man?
72
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,200
I've run out of money for drinks.
73
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,240
I'll just take Mr. Yu's things
74
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,561
and pawn them.
75
00:05:10,561 --> 00:05:11,160
Move.
76
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:21,880
Take a good look.
77
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,040
This is the man you were looking for.
78
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,040
Wake up.
79
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,080
I know I shouldn't have done this,
80
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,160
but he's my younger brother.
81
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,080
I couldn't leave him out there alone.
82
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,080
Even if he's your brother,
83
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,560
you can't bring him
into the Admonitions for Women Hall!
84
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,240
Exactly! He's still a man!
85
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,160
This is where ladies come to study!
86
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,160
What are you doing?
87
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,041
What...
88
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:05,880
You...
89
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,640
I shall take monastic vows
to atone for my sins.
90
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,320
Will that be enough?
91
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:20,920
Ms. Zuo,
92
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:22,560
stop making a scene.
93
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,280
Hiding a man
in the Admonitions for Women Hall
94
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:26,280
is already a serious offense.
95
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,240
You'll answer for it.
96
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,040
Ninth Young Lady,
97
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,400
you've finally had your revenge.
98
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:33,880
Satisfied now?
99
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:36,520
You still don't understand.
100
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,760
The reason you're facing
consequences today
101
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,280
isn't what you did to me.
102
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,360
It's because you put
your selfish desires
103
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,480
above the safety of your students.
104
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:48,880
You have no right
105
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,320
to call yourself their instructor.
106
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,040
Guards.
107
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,600
Get this drunk out of here.
108
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,040
Get up.
109
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:57,120
Move.
110
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:57,640
Go.
111
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,960
We didn't flush out Advisor Li,
112
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:32,720
but Zuo Junjie was caught.
113
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,040
That's enough to bring Madam Zuo down.
114
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,880
Hiding a man
in the Admonitions for Women Hall
115
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,320
was already a serious breach
of the rules.
116
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,880
Now that she's lost her position
as instructor,
117
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:41,600
and with things so tense right now,
118
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,880
Advisor Li, at the very least,
119
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,520
can't openly protect her anymore.
120
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,080
Zuo has lost her protection.
121
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:50,120
Miss Xie.
122
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:51,560
Mr. Zhao.
123
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,040
Madam Zuo
124
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,600
was taken to Dadong Temple.
125
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,160
She's living there as a lay devotee.
126
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,400
Someone stepped in to save her.
127
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,880
(Regional Commander's Residence)
128
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:20,400
Madam.
129
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:21,560
Take a seat.
130
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,800
Why did you protect Madam Zuo?
131
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,680
She hid a man
in the Admonitions for Women Hall.
132
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:29,720
That's a serious offense.
133
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,520
So you know
134
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:34,840
who she was hiding.
135
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:43,840
I thought you were different.
136
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,360
But I suppose those in power
137
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,961
all bow to influence and self-interest.
138
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:51,880
Instead of wasting your anger
on petty people,
139
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,440
why not make something better
for yourself?
140
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,960
The magnolia tree you planted
in Desheng Ward,
141
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,480
everyone who passes now
gives it a ladle of water.
142
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,961
That alone shows the sincerity
of your intentions
143
00:09:03,961 --> 00:09:05,440
and your gift for winning
people's hearts.
144
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,560
Why not take over
the Admonitions for Women Hall?
145
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:09,160
For one,
146
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,520
those girls would finally have
147
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,760
an instructor who can teach them
something useful.
148
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,000
And for another,
149
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,160
it would help you put down roots here.
150
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,200
Before long, the women of Ganlin
151
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,000
will treat you like one of their own.
152
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:30,601
If you're willing to let this matter
rest for now,
153
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:31,760
I can
154
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,360
see that Zhao Ling gets
his company commander post.
155
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,760
It was his to begin with.
156
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:39,840
Madam Zuo was the one holding it up
157
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:40,800
all this time.
158
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:42,760
Miss Xie,
159
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,760
you have a choice to make.
160
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,280
Do you want the satisfaction
of winning this fight,
161
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,040
or do you want
162
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,200
a future you can actually build on?
163
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,400
So you're
164
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,320
trying to buy me off.
165
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,120
I'm asking you to be practical.
166
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,560
Some roads,
167
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,680
even when they lead the right way,
168
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,920
can't be rushed.
169
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:50,920
Why are you sweating so much?
170
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,520
Did Madam Wang give you trouble?
171
00:10:58,680 --> 00:10:59,680
It's good news.
172
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,200
Madam Wang
173
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,800
approved your promotion
to company commander.
174
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:07,920
What did she want from you in return?
175
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:12,560
For me to let Madam Zuo go.
176
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,880
She's taking advantage of you,
177
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,600
using my promotion to pressure you.
178
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,800
Once you're company commander,
179
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,600
we'll have more resources
180
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:29,760
at our disposal.
181
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,520
Madam Wang
182
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,320
also put me in charge
of the Admonitions for Women Hall.
183
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,320
What I can't stand
184
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,320
is that Madam Zuo gets to walk away
from all this.
185
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,640
When I was falsely accused,
186
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,481
at least I knew the accusations
were lies.
187
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,280
But those girls...
188
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:50,720
if they ever learn
189
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,121
that a man really was spying on them...
190
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,360
in a world like this,
191
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,440
that could hurt worse
192
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,680
than a knife through the heart.
193
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:14,280
Let's go.
194
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:42,880
Madam Wang, you're here.
195
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:44,800
Have some tea.
196
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,200
The terms you asked for...
197
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:48,960
I've agreed to all of them.
198
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:50,800
Now,
199
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,560
right here in front of me,
200
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,880
burn every piece
201
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:56,520
of those girls' undergarments.
202
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:58,720
Hanyan.
203
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,680
Bring them out.
204
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,160
You're a smart woman, Madam.
205
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:20,040
You know what's truly at stake.
206
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:21,800
You all know
207
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,400
I've been involved with a man.
208
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,160
And now
209
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,960
I've been keeping
these young ladies' undergarments too.
210
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,520
If word gets out,
211
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,520
none of us comes out of this unscathed.
212
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,720
If you don't protect me,
213
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,080
I'll drag every one of these girls down
with me
214
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,400
and ruin their reputations too.
215
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,160
That's what they mean when they say
216
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,720
gossip can destroy lives.
217
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,720
If I ever catch you doing this again,
218
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,880
you won't walk away alive.
219
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,320
What's this?
220
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:05,720
What's this?
221
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,201
Why do we have to learn this?
222
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,560
And what's this?
223
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:09,920
I've never seen any of this before.
224
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,440
What is Essentials of Arithmetic?
225
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:14,160
And what is Five-Animal Exercises?
226
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,520
I don't know either.
227
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,520
Ms. Zuo never taught us any of this.
228
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,200
Instead of Lessons in Female Virtue
and Admonitions for Women,
229
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,680
we're learning all this random stuff?
230
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,080
When we're meeting
prospective husbands someday,
231
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,680
are we supposed to perform
the Five-Animal Exercises
232
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,080
to entertain them?
233
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,440
Exactly.
234
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,240
What good is any of this?
235
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,400
If one day
236
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,320
you're forced to leave the protection
of your families
237
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:34,560
and end up far from home,
238
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,000
how will you survive?
239
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,520
Lessons in Female Virtue?
240
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:39,640
Or Admonitions for Women?
241
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,160
Not every plant in this world
242
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,400
gets to grow
243
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,720
inside a warm greenhouse,
244
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:46,960
carefully sheltered and tended.
245
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,200
People are no different.
246
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,720
I teach you to check accounts
and figures
247
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,440
so no one
248
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,080
can fool you with false books
249
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,520
and cheat you out of the money
you depend on.
250
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,200
I teach you herbs and farming
251
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,120
so you'll know the plants around you
252
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:04,920
and be able, even in rocky soil,
253
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,160
to grow enough food
to fill your stomachs.
254
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,640
I teach you history
255
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,440
so you can see beyond this tiny corner
of the world
256
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,000
and not live in ignorance.
257
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,200
I teach you the Five-Animal Exercises
258
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,240
to make your bodies strong,
259
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,440
so you can travel far
260
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,080
and face childbirth without fear.
261
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,200
I teach you to navigate by the stars
262
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,000
so even if you're lost
in the wilderness,
263
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,440
you can find your way.
264
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:35,441
The desert poplar
265
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,120
lives for a thousand years,
266
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,600
stands tall for a thousand after death,
267
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,760
and endures another thousand
once fallen.
268
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:44,760
Not because it's beautiful,
269
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,760
but because its roots
270
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:47,600
run deep
271
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:48,760
and strong.
272
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,880
I hope you all live
peaceful, fortunate lives
273
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,200
and never need any of these skills.
274
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,961
But if hardship ever comes
without warning,
275
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:58,720
I hope
276
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,360
you'll be like the desert poplar,
277
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,240
able to endure drought
278
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:02,480
and weather the fiercest sandstorms.
279
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,120
Even when all hope seems lost,
280
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,640
may you find
281
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:06,920
your own way to survive
282
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,720
and stand tall on your own.
283
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:16,920
Thank you, Ms. Xie.
284
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:23,200
Zhang Huaimin.
285
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:24,160
Here.
286
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:24,720
Li Cheng.
287
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,040
Next.
288
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,040
Mr. Zhao, you've been promoted
to company commander,
289
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,160
and your pay just doubled.
290
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,000
Tonight,
291
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,480
you've got to treat us all
to a good drink.
292
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,040
Right?
293
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,080
Yeah, Mr. Zhao.
294
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,120
Not tonight.
295
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:37,960
I need the money
296
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:39,920
for something.
297
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,320
Bet it's for Miss Xie.
298
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,360
But she's generous.
299
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,000
I'm sure she won't mind you
buying us a round.
300
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,080
This time,
301
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:50,560
I really do need it.
302
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,040
We're moving.
303
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,440
Mr. Zhao's a company commander now.
304
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,520
The new place is big enough
for me to train!
305
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,400
It's barely been any time,
306
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,400
and you're already
a company commander's wife.
307
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,520
You're rising faster than a spring tide.
308
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,640
Kindness really does bring good fortune.
309
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:07,720
Just like that,
310
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,040
you've moved into a bigger house.
311
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,120
(Company Commander's Residence)
Miss Xie has a surprise for Mr. Zhao.
312
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:14,120
He's going to love it.
313
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,280
Why isn't he back yet?
314
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:25,840
Fireworks.
315
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,160
They're beautiful!
316
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,760
Who's setting off fireworks?
317
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:44,520
Look!
318
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:50,520
It's Mr. Zhao.
319
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,921
Those fireworks are something else.
320
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:07,560
Who has that kind of money to burn?
321
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,240
It's next door,
322
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,680
at Miss Xie's place.
323
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,001
I heard
324
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,880
Commander Zhao is celebrating
her birthday,
325
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,400
and even chose today for their move.
326
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,520
Fireworks this late at night?
327
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,600
How is anyone supposed to sleep?
328
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,080
So annoying!
329
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:32,880
Today is your birthday,
330
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:35,800
and the day we move into our new home.
331
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:37,920
May you
332
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:41,800
be safe and well, year after year.
333
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,160
♪The past brushes by
like a falling leaf♪
334
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,360
♪So light, yet my steps still pause
for you♪
335
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:07,360
♪Through every rise and fall,
our memories remain without regret♪
336
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:09,920
♪Carved into the rings of time♪
337
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:16,280
♪How I wish I could stay
a little longer, but I can't♪
338
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:18,120
Thank you, Mr. Zhao.
339
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:25,840
♪I turn away, afraid goodbye
will fill my eyes with tears♪
340
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:31,920
♪One promise for a lifetime,
echoing long after we part♪
341
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,720
So Mr. Zhao wouldn't buy us drinks
342
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,600
because he spent it all on this!
343
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:36,320
Mr. Zhao.
344
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:36,760
Mr. Zhao.
345
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,680
Well played!
346
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:39,400
I...
347
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,120
Miss Xie has another surprise!
348
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:45,120
Look at all this food!
349
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:45,840
Come on!
350
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:46,480
- Let me have a bite!
- None for you!
351
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:47,760
- We didn't set places for you!
- Just one bite!
352
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:48,640
We didn't make enough for everyone!
353
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,680
- Just a tiny bite!
- This is for Mr. Zhao!
354
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:51,840
- Just let me try some!
- Get out of here!
355
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:52,600
You two, stop fighting over it!
356
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:53,520
Save some for me!
357
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:56,960
I really didn't make any for you.
358
00:19:58,680 --> 00:19:59,800
All right.
359
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,040
Dig in, everyone.
360
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,560
I'll make
361
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:03,680
another dish to go with the drinks.
362
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:04,800
I'll get the fire going.
363
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,000
Look at the state of you two.
364
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:07,520
Miss Xie, don't trouble yourself.
365
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:08,800
Let me handle all this.
366
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:09,360
You go rest.
367
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:10,160
It's all right, Sanniang.
368
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:11,680
Today,
369
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:13,240
let me do it.
370
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,320
I'm sorry I put you through this.
371
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,360
If you hadn't backed down then,
372
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,600
I wouldn't have gotten this promotion.
373
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,520
You were raised in a prominent family.
374
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:20,960
You shouldn't have to do
this kind of work.
375
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:22,240
That's not true.
376
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,720
Back at the Fu Residence,
377
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:25,881
I cooked too.
378
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:27,200
That's hardly the same.
379
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:29,680
At the Fu Residence,
380
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,320
you made cherry pastries
381
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:32,520
and sophora noodles,
382
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,520
not these huge pots of food for a crowd.
383
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,480
Candied apricots.
384
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:23,680
The last bag.
385
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,200
Don't tell anyone.
386
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,360
Thinking about Miss Xie, Mr. Zhao?
387
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,240
Forgive me for saying this,
388
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,440
but you and Miss Xie
389
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,881
clearly care for each other.
390
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,960
Why not just get married?
391
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:21,640
You met Miss Xie later than I did.
392
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,840
You never saw what she was like
back in Huaying,
393
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,800
or what her parents were like.
394
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:31,640
I think
395
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,000
perhaps her parents' marriage was empty,
396
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:37,800
and that's why she thinks marriage
397
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,360
is just two people sharing a life
out of convenience.
398
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,640
You're afraid Miss Xie
399
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,120
doesn't truly love you.
400
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:47,000
But from what I can see,
401
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,680
the way she treats you
402
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,600
is unlike anyone else.
403
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,480
She's still young.
404
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:55,440
She just
405
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,640
hasn't figured out her own feelings yet.
406
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:58,880
I know.
407
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:01,840
But that's all right.
408
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:03,720
Knowing
409
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,320
there's a place for me in her heart
410
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:10,720
is enough.
411
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,880
Once I've earned greater merit in battle
412
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,680
and can give her the life she deserves,
then we'll talk about marriage.
413
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,120
Be careful with that, Miss Xie.
414
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,720
That lamp oil
415
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,280
was brought back specially for you
by Mr. Zhao.
416
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,400
It costs more than three times
the usual kind.
417
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,240
The oil he uses at camp
418
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,240
is cheap stuff cut with tung oil.
419
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,720
Mr. Zhao treats you
420
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:00,960
very differently
421
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,880
from everyone else.
422
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:09,440
General.
423
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,000
I've been waiting forever for you.
424
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,600
I got tied up with work.
425
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,560
This looks nice.
426
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,280
You're finally here, General.
427
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:19,720
I made all these dishes myself,
428
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,280
especially for you.
429
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:23,000
Alright.
430
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,000
I also learned
431
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,040
a Jiangnan song.
432
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,360
I'll sing it for you later.
433
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,160
Now that I like.
434
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:30,440
Sounds good.
435
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:34,320
The other night,
436
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,560
there were fireworks next door.
437
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:36,920
I heard
438
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,320
Commander Zhao set them off
439
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,960
for Miss Xie's birthday.
440
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:45,520
General...
441
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,280
In a couple of days,
442
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,641
it'll be my birthday too.
443
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:53,560
That's right.
444
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,360
But let's skip the fireworks.
445
00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:00,401
All that banging gives me a headache.
446
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:01,640
I don't see the appeal.
447
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:04,960
True.
448
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:06,440
They're so noisy.
449
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:07,160
Come on.
450
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:08,560
Have a drink with me.
451
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:10,960
Cheers.
452
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,080
I'm off.
453
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,920
Bye, General.
454
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:25,800
Ugh!
455
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:27,800
What a blockhead.
456
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,240
No wonder that shrew
457
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:30,360
walks all over you!
458
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,360
What's wrong with wanting fireworks
for my birthday?
459
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,760
That shrew Xie next door gets fireworks,
460
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,080
but I don't?
461
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,480
Don't act like you're above it all!
462
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,080
Fireworks are too noisy?
463
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:40,840
Unbelievable!
464
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,080
Hey.
465
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,120
- You...
- You scared me to death!
466
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:47,960
Quite a spread.
467
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:48,720
Let me have some.
468
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:51,480
All you think about is food.
469
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,120
You think this is a restaurant?
470
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:55,840
Listen.
471
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:56,960
I'm a little short on cash.
472
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:58,480
I still need more kills.
473
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:00,080
Lend me some money.
474
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:02,240
All the money I have
475
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,800
goes straight into that bottomless pit
of yours.
476
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,640
If you really care about me,
477
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:08,600
go next door
478
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,160
and teach that rotten pair a lesson!
479
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,880
They're always looking down their noses
at me!
480
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,680
Enough.
481
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,120
I don't want to hear
482
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:16,880
about all your petty little problems.
483
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,720
Fine. I'll tell you the truth.
484
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,120
That Zhao
485
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,640
keeps telling people
486
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,320
you stole credit for his achievements.
487
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,600
He's been bad-mouthing you everywhere.
488
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:32,680
He also said
489
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,240
the only reason you have your rank today
490
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,360
is that well-connected brother-in-law
of yours.
491
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,080
And your pathetic fighting skills
492
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,400
aren't even worth his time.
493
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,160
Nonsense.
494
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,040
If anyone helped me get ahead,
495
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:43,961
it was Commander Wang.
496
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,600
What the heck does Mo have
to do with it?
497
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,280
I'll show him
498
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,520
exactly
499
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,560
who he's messing with.
500
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,200
(Shaqiong Town Border)
501
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:20,760
Did you hear?
502
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,320
Shaqiong is fighting
the Wangur tribe again.
503
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,560
Their grain supply was cut off,
504
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,600
so the higher-ups want us
505
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:26,880
to send two thousand dan of grain.
506
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,080
Another lousy assignment.
507
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,400
We'll probably have to
508
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:31,320
go through Yelang Valley.
509
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,120
It's all desert along the way.
510
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:34,120
Extremely dangerous.
511
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:38,480
Commander.
512
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:40,920
As for the grain shipment to Shaqiong,
513
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:42,960
I'd like to lead the troops there.
514
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:44,400
Company Commander Zhao,
515
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,040
eager, aren't you?
516
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,520
You promised
517
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,360
that when the time came,
518
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,760
merit would be rewarded.
519
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:54,920
Unfortunately,
520
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:56,600
I've already assigned
521
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,200
this mission to Lu Dahu.
522
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,360
Company Commander Zhao,
523
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,000
if you really want to go,
524
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,320
you'll have to go as his second.
525
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:14,480
Yes, Commander.
526
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,760
Zhao's currying favor with the brass
and dragging us into it.
527
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:21,760
Fine. Let him come.
528
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,280
I'll make his life miserable.
529
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,640
I can collect the rest of the heads
on the way.
530
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,440
Thirty-six in all.
531
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,120
I was twenty-four short.
532
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:32,720
I've got four now.
533
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,080
Twenty more,
534
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,080
and I'll be a battalion commander.
535
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,120
Battalion commander...
536
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:45,720
Zhao Ling.
537
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:50,960
I've been looking for you.
538
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:53,360
Sen
539
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,640
submitted an enlistment request.
540
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,440
He's way too young.
541
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:57,441
How could you
542
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,080
stamp his application?
543
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:01,600
What?
544
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,080
You didn't know?
545
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,040
You two.
546
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,480
Has Sen said anything about enlisting?
547
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:11,320
No, Mr. Zhao.
548
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:12,520
Never heard a word.
549
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:15,240
It wasn't me.
550
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:39,240
As for joining the army...
551
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:41,320
forget it.
552
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,440
I've had Mo Yi
withdraw your application.
553
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,920
And you stole my seal?
554
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,200
You've got some nerve!
555
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:47,600
Who are you to tell me what to do?
556
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,000
I'm the one putting food on your table!
557
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,240
Miss Xie makes the food!
558
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:53,640
Not you!
559
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,480
Then I just won't eat here anymore!
560
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:56,840
I don't need you bossing me around!
561
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,680
You're not my father or my brother!
562
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:04,720
I...
563
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:07,520
Sen.
564
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:08,240
Sen.
565
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:09,760
Sen.
566
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:12,840
Mr. Zhao.
567
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,520
He's just a kid.
568
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:28,720
Why get so worked up over him?
569
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:30,800
I didn't.
570
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:47,680
I came to say goodbye.
571
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,080
I just received my orders.
572
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,080
I'm escorting supplies
to Shaqiong Town tomorrow.
573
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,160
Take care while you're in Ganlin Town.
574
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:07,520
In the army,
575
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:08,560
one wrong move
576
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:09,800
can get you killed.
577
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,360
Study hard for a couple of years,
578
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,240
then take the military exam.
579
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:15,880
That's the right way to do it.
580
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:18,680
Then you won't have to
581
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,240
risk your life out here like us.
582
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,200
Mr. Zhao is only looking out for you.
583
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,160
Fei!
584
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:35,560
Fei!
585
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:46,880
Who knows how long
586
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,080
they'll be gone this time.
587
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,760
I don't even know if the food
and clothes I packed
588
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:50,880
will be enough.
589
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:52,280
Yeah.
590
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:53,840
Zhao Ling's fiancee
591
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:55,560
came to see him off with provisions.
592
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,160
Zhao Ling is no match for me
in any respect.
593
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,520
How'd he land a woman that pretty?
594
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,160
If a man never comes back
from this trip,
595
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:08,880
what happens
596
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,200
to his woman?
597
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,400
(Shaqiong Town)
598
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:16,880
Go on.
599
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:17,160
Move.
600
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:18,160
Come rest over here.
601
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:19,320
Give me one too.
602
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:20,520
Here.
603
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,000
Push.
604
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:28,880
Come on.
605
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:29,640
Push!
606
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:30,400
Push!
607
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,720
Come on!
608
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:34,520
Push!
609
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,600
One, two, three!
610
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:37,840
Come on!
611
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,760
One, two, three!
612
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:49,600
Here, have some water.
613
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:50,680
Drink up.
614
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:52,920
Mr. Zhao.
615
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:58,520
Looks like contraband salt.
616
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,000
The army's salt
617
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,040
comes from Lu Dahu trading with bandits.
618
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:19,720
The question is
619
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,440
whether Commander Wang
is turning a blind eye to it.
620
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:24,760
Crooks dealing with crooks.
621
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,120
They put on a respectable face,
622
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:27,040
but behind closed doors,
623
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:28,360
they're filthier than anyone.
624
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:29,360
Come on!
625
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:31,160
Look!
626
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:31,720
Hurry!
627
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:34,360
Hurry!
628
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:35,560
They're bringing out the heads.
629
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:37,560
Go!
630
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:40,880
Those animals.
631
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,440
They're using people
to fake military kills.
632
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:43,760
Aren't they afraid
of what'll come back to them?
633
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:58,880
- What are you doing?
- What are you doing? Zhao Ling!
634
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,400
Don't act so righteous.
635
00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:03,360
I need 36 heads to become
a battalion commander.
636
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,480
Twelve heads can get a company commander
promoted to deputy battalion commander,
637
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,280
or 24 warhorses.
638
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:14,600
Here.
639
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,280
Have one of your men finish him off.
640
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,200
I'll let you claim the kill.
641
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:20,680
What are you doing?
642
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:21,841
Mr. Zhao!
643
00:35:21,841 --> 00:35:22,240
Mr. Zhao!
644
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:22,921
Mr. Zhao!
645
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,040
Do you think I got where I am today
646
00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:28,680
because of
647
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,560
my brother-in-law?
648
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:32,520
It's because
649
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,000
I am better
650
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,120
than all you useless scum.
651
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,720
Even if my brother-in-law
were standing right here,
652
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,000
on this mission,
653
00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:49,080
I, Lu Dahu, give the orders.
654
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,960
Just one rank above you,
655
00:35:59,240 --> 00:36:00,480
and I can crush you.
656
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:22,120
Move!
657
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:24,440
Take him away.
658
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,400
Run! Hurry!
659
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:35,240
Mr. Zhao!
660
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:37,080
Stop!
661
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:38,160
Stop!
662
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:39,440
Get out!
663
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:40,160
Mr. Zhao!
664
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:42,080
Mr. Zhao!
665
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:43,160
Mr. Zhao.
666
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,600
Zhao Ling attacked a superior officer.
667
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,320
He defied military orders.
668
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:50,880
Under military law,
669
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,360
kill him on sight!
670
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:55,880
Come on!
671
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,200
Looks like I'll have four more heads
to claim.
672
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,080
Killing the four of us
won't earn you much.
673
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,600
I'll bring back
dozens of warhorses instead!
674
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,320
When I return to camp with those horses,
675
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,520
I'll outrank you, and then you'll answer
to me!
676
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,040
Prepare a report.
677
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:24,040
Zhao Ling
678
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:25,840
has deserted with his men.
679
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:38,440
Mr. Zhao,
680
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:39,920
where do we go now?
681
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:41,800
We find those salt smugglers.
682
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:43,440
They have salt
683
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:45,400
and warhorses.
684
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:46,600
That merit
685
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,120
is as good as ours.
686
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:50,360
All right!
687
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:54,680
Go tell Miss Xie for me.
688
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:56,040
Tell her
689
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:57,880
I've gone to find warhorses
690
00:37:58,720 --> 00:37:59,760
and I'll be back a little later
than planned.
691
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:02,880
Tell her not to worry.
692
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:03,840
Yes, Mr. Zhao.
693
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:04,840
I won't forget.
694
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:08,400
Mr. Zhao,
695
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,320
want me to pass along
a few words of concern?
696
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:13,840
Just tell her
697
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,680
the wild apricots in the mountains
are ripe.
698
00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:19,200
I'm going to pick her a whole basket
699
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:21,600
so she can make candied apricots
when I get back.
700
00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:22,800
Got it!
701
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:35,240
Sis.
702
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:36,240
I'm back.
703
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:37,440
I'm starving.
704
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:37,960
Let's eat.
705
00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:40,160
Always eating, aren't you?
706
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,640
If you'd hurry up
and get yourself a wife,
707
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,160
you wouldn't be pestering me
all the time.
708
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:44,920
Every time you come around,
it's either money
709
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:45,720
or food.
710
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:47,920
What am I, your personal charity
711
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:48,840
and your personal cook?
712
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Cut the nonsense!
713
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,680
I'm dead tired from this trip!
714
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,480
Zhao Ling
715
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,360
deserted halfway through the mission.
716
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:04,600
I had to handle
717
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,080
the whole thing myself.
718
00:39:15,720 --> 00:39:16,440
Zhao Ling
719
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:17,680
deserted?
720
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:18,960
This trip
721
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,320
was well worth it.
722
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,520
I've finally got enough heads
723
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:25,960
to become a battalion commander.
724
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:27,160
Dahu,
725
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,600
doesn't that mean
you're getting promoted?
726
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:31,960
You bet.
727
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:32,880
Oh, right.
728
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,960
Go pray for me
at Dadong Temple tomorrow.
729
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:37,720
Ask for...
730
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,360
a promotion and plenty of money.
731
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:46,920
Bodhisattva,
732
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,400
(Health, Career, Marriage, Wealth)
please bless my brother
733
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:50,761
with rank and riches.
734
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:52,520
And while you're at it,
735
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:53,880
send me a sister-in-law
736
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,760
who's easy to handle
737
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,800
and does as she's told.
738
00:39:58,640 --> 00:39:59,880
Please grant my wish.
739
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:02,360
Madam.
740
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:05,960
Ms. Zuo?
741
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,001
I couldn't help overhearing
742
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,000
that you're looking for an obedient wife
for your brother.
743
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:13,961
The perfect match
744
00:40:14,720 --> 00:40:16,080
is right under your nose.
745
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,200
I've heard
746
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,200
Zhao Ling isn't coming back.
747
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:21,680
That leaves Miss Xie
748
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,040
all alone with no one to depend on.
749
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:25,920
A woman on her own,
750
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:27,080
with no family to rely on.
751
00:40:27,240 --> 00:40:28,920
What choice would she have
752
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,160
but to depend on her husband's family?
753
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,320
Miss Xie knows how to run a household,
754
00:40:35,720 --> 00:40:37,520
and she has her land
to bring in an income.
755
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:39,520
A wife like that
756
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,160
would certainly treat
her sister-in-law well.
757
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,040
You have a point.
758
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,600
Thank you for the suggestion, Ms. Zuo.
759
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:53,720
Thank you, Bodhisattva,
for answering my prayer.
760
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:54,760
This way,
761
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,040
I get everything I want at once.
762
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:58,440
Being a widow is nothing.
763
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:00,600
The worst thing for a woman
764
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,120
is marrying a rotten man.
765
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:03,920
Drinking,
766
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:05,080
gambling,
767
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:06,040
beating his wife...
768
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,880
my brother checks every box.
769
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,000
Thank you, Bodhisattva,
for answering my prayer.
770
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:15,720
Thank you, Bodhisattva.
771
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,320
(Next Episode)
772
00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:25,280
(I thought Lu Dahu)
773
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,720
(was just a shameless lecher.)
774
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,360
(I figured I could just stay
out of his way.)
775
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:29,720
(Who would've thought)
776
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,480
(he'd do something this vile,)
777
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:33,720
(and even make
Mr. Zhao's life miserable.)
778
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:35,360
A monster like that
779
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:37,840
isn't worth dirtying our hands over.
780
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:40,880
Xie!
781
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,640
You have to marry him
782
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,280
right this second!
783
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:51,200
Zhao Ling.
784
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:52,680
Please don't kill me!
785
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,520
Please don't kill me!
786
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:55,961
Please! I'm begging you!
787
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:57,880
Lu Dahu,
788
00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:01,600
