Zhizhi's novel of the same name)

00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:40,313
(Bandit Camp)
5
00:01:40,407 --> 00:01:41,368
Come. Drink!
6
00:01:41,368 --> 00:01:41,847
Come on.
7
00:01:41,847 --> 00:01:42,968
Drink up.
8
00:01:47,008 --> 00:01:47,487
Hurry up!
9
00:01:51,767 --> 00:01:52,648
Zhao.
10
00:01:53,287 --> 00:01:54,847
I let you go last time.
11
00:01:55,248 --> 00:01:56,847
And you actually dare to come back?
12
00:01:58,287 --> 00:01:59,207
You've got a death wish.
13
00:01:59,207 --> 00:02:00,968
Precisely because you let me go,
14
00:02:01,888 --> 00:02:03,407
I'm here to return the favor.
15
00:02:06,327 --> 00:02:07,808
Do you know Lu Dahu?
16
00:02:18,968 --> 00:02:20,768
That scoundrel Lu Dahu.
17
00:02:21,287 --> 00:02:22,847
Commander Wang trusted him so much.
18
00:02:24,607 --> 00:02:26,007
But he messed up the job.
19
00:02:26,007 --> 00:02:26,768
Someone found out.
20
00:02:28,727 --> 00:02:29,687
What did he mess up?
21
00:02:44,127 --> 00:02:45,007
What have you
22
00:02:45,127 --> 00:02:46,167
found out this time?
23
00:02:47,127 --> 00:02:49,048
Killing civilians
to claim military merit.
24
00:02:49,887 --> 00:02:51,208
That's a grave crime.
25
00:02:54,528 --> 00:02:56,127
That's a crime punishable by death.
26
00:03:02,048 --> 00:03:02,928
Zhao.
27
00:03:05,088 --> 00:03:06,208
What does Lu Dahu have
28
00:03:06,208 --> 00:03:07,847
to do with me?
29
00:03:09,847 --> 00:03:11,928
Why are you causing trouble on my turf?
30
00:03:12,648 --> 00:03:13,167
Guards.
31
00:03:15,287 --> 00:03:16,287
Drag him out
32
00:03:17,248 --> 00:03:17,808
and execute him.
33
00:03:19,607 --> 00:03:21,167
Then Mr. Tuo, who will you
34
00:03:21,167 --> 00:03:22,648
do business with from now on?
35
00:03:26,687 --> 00:03:28,928
Now I'm Commander Wang's trusted man.
36
00:03:39,447 --> 00:03:40,968
What I just said
37
00:03:41,887 --> 00:03:43,687
is also what he is worried about.
38
00:03:44,167 --> 00:03:44,928
Lu Dahu
39
00:03:44,928 --> 00:03:46,528
is definitely not getting out.
40
00:03:47,488 --> 00:03:48,528
From now on,
41
00:03:50,928 --> 00:03:52,048
I'm in charge.
42
00:04:04,607 --> 00:04:05,847
Then does Commander Wang
43
00:04:06,928 --> 00:04:08,607
have any new instructions?
44
00:04:14,328 --> 00:04:15,488
Business stays as usual.
45
00:04:17,167 --> 00:04:19,247
I don't care how much
Lu Dahu used to give you.
46
00:04:19,727 --> 00:04:21,888
I'll give you thirty copper coins
per tael.
47
00:04:23,287 --> 00:04:25,088
That's higher than the market price.
48
00:04:26,088 --> 00:04:26,927
Brother,
49
00:04:27,888 --> 00:04:29,247
I told you before.
50
00:04:29,768 --> 00:04:31,128
We're bound by fate.
51
00:04:31,528 --> 00:04:32,287
Being fated isn't enough.
52
00:04:34,487 --> 00:04:35,407
What about the profit?
53
00:04:36,528 --> 00:04:37,088
Tell me.
54
00:04:37,407 --> 00:04:38,287
How much do you want to take?
55
00:04:44,528 --> 00:04:45,968
You just need to tell me
56
00:04:48,367 --> 00:04:49,208
where those warhorses
57
00:04:50,448 --> 00:04:51,128
came from.
58
00:04:53,487 --> 00:04:54,448
What warhorses?
59
00:04:56,607 --> 00:04:58,328
These are just ordinary mounts.
60
00:04:58,328 --> 00:04:59,487
Nothing worth mentioning.
61
00:05:00,648 --> 00:05:02,648
How could I possibly have warhorses?
62
00:05:19,367 --> 00:05:20,528
Take a look at the goods yourself.
63
00:05:20,927 --> 00:05:21,847
When it comes to business,
64
00:05:22,648 --> 00:05:24,167
you're not my only option.
65
00:05:30,487 --> 00:05:31,367
On the fifth of every month,
66
00:05:31,968 --> 00:05:33,448
at the mining site
15 kilometers north of here,
67
00:05:35,287 --> 00:05:36,208
the Wangur people
68
00:05:37,287 --> 00:05:38,688
are in urgent need of iron for weapons.
69
00:05:40,688 --> 00:05:41,367
They trade
70
00:05:42,888 --> 00:05:43,688
secretly with foreign merchants.
71
00:05:46,648 --> 00:05:48,247
This whole thing with Zhao
72
00:05:48,367 --> 00:05:50,128
is getting more and more absurd.
73
00:05:50,568 --> 00:05:51,847
Back in Linchun Town,
74
00:05:51,847 --> 00:05:53,287
when we crossed swords with him,
75
00:05:53,287 --> 00:05:54,768
he didn't even flinch.
76
00:05:54,768 --> 00:05:56,568
There's no way he'd flee from battle.
77
00:05:59,927 --> 00:06:00,648
Listen.
78
00:06:02,607 --> 00:06:04,047
Go and see Miss Xie.
79
00:06:04,047 --> 00:06:04,847
Tell her
80
00:06:04,847 --> 00:06:05,568
that we've already
81
00:06:05,568 --> 00:06:07,487
sent cavalry to search for him.
82
00:06:07,487 --> 00:06:08,448
Set her mind at ease.
83
00:06:08,648 --> 00:06:09,927
Rest assured, General.
84
00:06:10,008 --> 00:06:12,128
What concerns you concerns me.
85
00:06:12,367 --> 00:06:13,528
Even if you hadn't said a word,
86
00:06:13,927 --> 00:06:15,167
I would have done the same.
87
00:06:19,568 --> 00:06:21,528
You're always so understanding.
88
00:06:30,607 --> 00:06:31,407
Miss, wait.
89
00:06:36,008 --> 00:06:36,487
Miss,
90
00:06:37,247 --> 00:06:38,167
you dropped something.
91
00:06:40,568 --> 00:06:42,047
My young lady doesn't own such a thing.
92
00:06:42,688 --> 00:06:44,047
It must belong to some other lady.
93
00:06:44,247 --> 00:06:45,208
Go find its owner elsewhere.
94
00:06:46,088 --> 00:06:46,568
Miss,
95
00:06:46,807 --> 00:06:47,367
let's go.
96
00:06:48,528 --> 00:06:49,047
Miss!
97
00:06:49,727 --> 00:06:50,807
Such a lecher.
98
00:06:51,128 --> 00:06:52,688
What a waste
of a deputy battalion commander title.
99
00:06:53,247 --> 00:06:55,088
The small fry are harder to deal with.
100
00:06:55,088 --> 00:06:56,088
Just steer clear of him.
101
00:06:57,208 --> 00:06:57,888
No matter.
102
00:06:59,047 --> 00:07:00,047
Haste
103
00:07:00,047 --> 00:07:01,247
makes waste.
104
00:07:02,008 --> 00:07:03,287
Her man has already run off.
105
00:07:04,088 --> 00:07:05,047
She should be
106
00:07:05,047 --> 00:07:06,088
easy to handle.
107
00:07:06,407 --> 00:07:07,568
Leave it to me.
108
00:07:09,407 --> 00:07:11,167
Even Commander Lu,
who went with him, is back.
109
00:07:11,448 --> 00:07:12,968
Why hasn't he returned yet?
110
00:07:12,968 --> 00:07:14,208
Mr. Zhao isn't back yet?
111
00:07:15,208 --> 00:07:16,528
What if something happened to him?
112
00:07:17,407 --> 00:07:18,528
All you do is ask questions.
113
00:07:18,807 --> 00:07:20,247
Go to the garrison and find out.
114
00:07:26,847 --> 00:07:28,688
I shouldn't have been so stubborn
with Mr. Zhao.
115
00:07:35,528 --> 00:07:37,328
Here in Ganlin Town,
116
00:07:38,128 --> 00:07:39,528
people die every day.
117
00:07:40,607 --> 00:07:41,727
The men,
118
00:07:41,727 --> 00:07:42,927
all desperate to earn merit,
119
00:07:43,448 --> 00:07:45,568
will fight tooth and nail
to get to the battlefield.
120
00:07:45,768 --> 00:07:47,047
But what about us women?
121
00:07:47,847 --> 00:07:49,688
We don't care about any of this.
122
00:07:50,487 --> 00:07:51,367
All we want
123
00:07:52,287 --> 00:07:54,807
is someone who truly cares for us.
124
00:07:54,968 --> 00:07:55,607
Right?
125
00:07:56,528 --> 00:07:58,287
What news do you have?
126
00:07:58,688 --> 00:07:59,768
Just tell me.
127
00:08:01,247 --> 00:08:03,047
You poor thing.
128
00:08:03,768 --> 00:08:05,287
Banner Commander Zhao
129
00:08:06,407 --> 00:08:07,167
is gone.
130
00:08:07,847 --> 00:08:09,088
You can't just say things like that.
131
00:08:09,487 --> 00:08:10,487
Without any proof,
132
00:08:10,927 --> 00:08:12,128
how can you be so sure?
133
00:08:12,768 --> 00:08:14,448
My brother saw it with his own eyes.
134
00:08:15,128 --> 00:08:16,008
Last night,
135
00:08:16,487 --> 00:08:18,287
General Mo also received
the official notice.
136
00:08:19,047 --> 00:08:20,727
It's just that the public announcement
137
00:08:20,727 --> 00:08:22,047
won't come for a few more days.
138
00:08:23,088 --> 00:08:24,287
Honestly, I shouldn't be
139
00:08:24,648 --> 00:08:26,287
the one telling you this.
140
00:08:27,968 --> 00:08:28,648
But
141
00:08:28,968 --> 00:08:31,047
I figured if things come to that,
142
00:08:31,047 --> 00:08:32,607
you need to have a plan, right?
143
00:08:33,767 --> 00:08:34,847
As women,
144
00:08:35,168 --> 00:08:36,968
we have to plan
145
00:08:37,127 --> 00:08:38,088
for our future,
146
00:08:38,088 --> 00:08:38,727
right?
147
00:08:47,968 --> 00:08:49,328
I've been thinking
148
00:08:50,847 --> 00:08:52,007
that my younger brother
149
00:08:52,767 --> 00:08:54,367
is a deputy battalion commander.
150
00:08:55,367 --> 00:08:57,688
He's a considerate man too.
151
00:08:59,448 --> 00:09:00,487
So that's
152
00:09:01,127 --> 00:09:02,568
what you've been scheming all along.
153
00:09:03,527 --> 00:09:05,288
It's all for your own good.
154
00:09:05,727 --> 00:09:06,607
In Ganlin Town,
155
00:09:06,727 --> 00:09:08,408
there are
no fewer than seven or eight known gangs
156
00:09:08,408 --> 00:09:09,487
of idle thugs
157
00:09:09,887 --> 00:09:12,088
who target unprotected families.
158
00:09:12,328 --> 00:09:13,487
At night,
159
00:09:13,487 --> 00:09:14,487
they break down doors,
160
00:09:14,487 --> 00:09:16,208
beat people unconscious,
161
00:09:16,208 --> 00:09:17,367
stuff them in sacks,
162
00:09:17,367 --> 00:09:18,568
and sell them to pleasure houses
and gambling dens.
163
00:09:18,647 --> 00:09:19,408
Or
164
00:09:19,408 --> 00:09:20,688
to the barbarians beyond the pass.
165
00:09:21,088 --> 00:09:21,487
You...
166
00:09:23,408 --> 00:09:24,127
By regulation,
167
00:09:25,088 --> 00:09:26,367
any officer under orders
168
00:09:27,127 --> 00:09:28,607
who abandons his post
169
00:09:29,007 --> 00:09:30,127
must be reported by his superior
170
00:09:30,647 --> 00:09:32,048
and confirmed by the Regional Commander.
171
00:09:32,127 --> 00:09:33,048
Only then is it final.
172
00:09:35,247 --> 00:09:37,168
Right now, Mr. Zhao is still away
on campaign.
173
00:09:37,408 --> 00:09:38,727
And yet you come to pressure me,
174
00:09:39,367 --> 00:09:41,007
to trick
and seduce a fellow officer's wife.
175
00:09:41,847 --> 00:09:43,328
That deserves military punishment.
176
00:09:48,048 --> 00:09:49,647
Don't bother trying to scare me.
177
00:09:50,808 --> 00:09:52,127
Your man is gone,
178
00:09:52,127 --> 00:09:52,808
plain and simple.
179
00:09:53,328 --> 00:09:54,288
Serving one man
180
00:09:54,448 --> 00:09:55,968
is better than serving a whole pack.
181
00:10:03,328 --> 00:10:04,127
Miss Xie.
182
00:10:04,367 --> 00:10:05,247
We meet again.
183
00:10:09,487 --> 00:10:10,448
Men and women
should keep their distance.
184
00:10:10,568 --> 00:10:11,647
Commander Lu,
please show some restraint.
185
00:10:14,688 --> 00:10:15,887
Don't rush off.
186
00:10:17,168 --> 00:10:18,408
With this floral hair ornament on,
187
00:10:18,408 --> 00:10:18,808
you'd look beautiful.
188
00:10:18,808 --> 00:10:20,487
You shameless wretch!
189
00:10:20,647 --> 00:10:21,088
Yi.
190
00:10:21,088 --> 00:10:22,487
Zhao Ling is out fighting,
191
00:10:22,607 --> 00:10:24,607
and you're here seducing his fiancee!
192
00:10:24,607 --> 00:10:24,887
General, please calm down!
193
00:10:24,887 --> 00:10:26,568
I'll beat you, you sneaky scoundrel!
194
00:10:26,568 --> 00:10:27,487
I'll kick you to death!
195
00:10:27,487 --> 00:10:28,767
I'll hit you every time I see you!
196
00:10:28,767 --> 00:10:29,847
When did you get here?
197
00:10:29,847 --> 00:10:30,767
Why didn't you tell me?
198
00:10:30,767 --> 00:10:31,727
Why are you protecting him?
199
00:10:31,727 --> 00:10:33,247
Why don't you keep
your good-for-nothing brother in line?
200
00:10:33,328 --> 00:10:35,448
Calm down.
201
00:10:35,767 --> 00:10:36,367
Calm down.
202
00:10:38,847 --> 00:10:39,647
Miss Xie,
203
00:10:39,727 --> 00:10:40,968
I'm truly sorry.
204
00:10:41,527 --> 00:10:42,408
But rest assured,
205
00:10:42,408 --> 00:10:43,767
that wretched scoundrel
206
00:10:43,928 --> 00:10:45,448
will never come to bother you again.
207
00:10:46,288 --> 00:10:47,487
Thank you, General Mo.
208
00:10:48,527 --> 00:10:49,408
General,
209
00:10:49,408 --> 00:10:50,968
have you truly received word
of Mr. Zhao?
210
00:10:51,408 --> 00:10:52,847
I've already sent men to look for him.
211
00:10:53,127 --> 00:10:53,928
As soon as there's news,
212
00:10:53,928 --> 00:10:55,408
I'll have someone come and tell you.
213
00:10:56,048 --> 00:10:56,968
Didn't Concubine Lu
214
00:10:57,048 --> 00:10:57,928
tell you?
215
00:11:04,688 --> 00:11:05,968
What she said
216
00:11:06,808 --> 00:11:08,168
and what you said
217
00:11:08,168 --> 00:11:09,168
are not quite the same.
218
00:11:11,527 --> 00:11:13,048
Please forgive me, General.
219
00:11:13,727 --> 00:11:14,487
From now on,
220
00:11:14,968 --> 00:11:16,448
please don't send her to see me anymore.
221
00:11:16,887 --> 00:11:18,448
If she keeps coming to press me,
222
00:11:18,607 --> 00:11:19,568
day after day,
223
00:11:19,568 --> 00:11:21,208
it will only breed ill feelings.
224
00:11:22,688 --> 00:11:23,607
Has she been
225
00:11:23,887 --> 00:11:24,727
making things hard for you?
226
00:11:25,527 --> 00:11:26,968
She tried to arrange for her brother
227
00:11:27,968 --> 00:11:29,328
to marry my young lady.
228
00:11:29,527 --> 00:11:30,408
What?
229
00:11:32,328 --> 00:11:33,607
It's all my fault.
230
00:11:33,847 --> 00:11:36,007
It must have been something I said
231
00:11:37,887 --> 00:11:40,727
that made Miss Xie misunderstand.
232
00:11:42,568 --> 00:11:43,527
General,
233
00:11:44,408 --> 00:11:47,127
I've been with you
since I was seventeen.
234
00:11:48,968 --> 00:11:51,048
After all these years of devotion,
235
00:11:51,808 --> 00:11:54,168
don't you trust me?
236
00:12:00,168 --> 00:12:00,647
Come here.
237
00:12:00,647 --> 00:12:01,208
Get up.
238
00:12:04,727 --> 00:12:06,408
What I said today was harsh.
239
00:12:06,887 --> 00:12:07,607
But
240
00:12:08,288 --> 00:12:10,127
you need to take it to heart.
241
00:12:15,487 --> 00:12:16,527
Then, General,
242
00:12:17,448 --> 00:12:19,367
won't you stay the night?
243
00:12:21,847 --> 00:12:22,727
No.
244
00:12:23,408 --> 00:12:24,847
You know how things are
245
00:12:25,088 --> 00:12:26,328
at home.
246
00:12:37,367 --> 00:12:38,887
That scheming wretch.
247
00:12:39,448 --> 00:12:40,887
Who does she think she is?
248
00:12:41,487 --> 00:12:43,767
How dare she speak ill of me
to the General?
249
00:12:47,968 --> 00:12:48,968
Once that Zhao
250
00:12:48,968 --> 00:12:50,568
is confirmed as a deserter,
251
00:12:51,328 --> 00:12:52,568
I'll wait to see her cry.
252
00:12:52,568 --> 00:12:53,968
Even if he doesn't die today,
253
00:12:54,208 --> 00:12:55,568
he'll die tomorrow.
254
00:12:55,647 --> 00:12:56,527
I'll curse him
255
00:12:56,527 --> 00:12:58,448
to death!
256
00:13:28,127 --> 00:13:29,088
General...
257
00:13:29,487 --> 00:13:30,127
General...
258
00:13:31,328 --> 00:13:33,127
I think I just lost my mind.
259
00:13:33,448 --> 00:13:33,808
I...
260
00:13:34,288 --> 00:13:35,088
I don't know
261
00:13:35,088 --> 00:13:37,688
what came over me today.
262
00:13:38,367 --> 00:13:38,968
I...
263
00:13:39,928 --> 00:13:40,487
I...
264
00:13:40,487 --> 00:13:40,968
I...
265
00:13:41,647 --> 00:13:42,048
I...
266
00:13:42,127 --> 00:13:42,968
General...
267
00:13:42,968 --> 00:13:43,688
I...
268
00:13:44,607 --> 00:13:45,168
I...
269
00:14:03,208 --> 00:14:03,647
Here.
270
00:14:03,928 --> 00:14:04,808
Eat some more.
271
00:14:10,247 --> 00:14:10,767
Father,
272
00:14:11,127 --> 00:14:11,847
have some.
273
00:14:14,288 --> 00:14:14,727
Eat.
274
00:14:20,247 --> 00:14:20,727
Dig in.
275
00:14:20,727 --> 00:14:23,007
Why does Father look so distracted?
276
00:14:23,887 --> 00:14:24,727
Him?
277
00:14:25,247 --> 00:14:26,127
His heart's in pieces.
278
00:14:26,968 --> 00:14:27,808
Quick, pick them up
279
00:14:28,288 --> 00:14:29,647
and put your father back together.
280
00:14:33,328 --> 00:14:34,208
What are you staring at?
281
00:14:34,288 --> 00:14:35,007
Eat your meal
282
00:14:35,088 --> 00:14:35,847
and don't take after your father.
283
00:14:38,688 --> 00:14:39,328
You too.
284
00:14:39,568 --> 00:14:40,208
Eat first.
285
00:14:45,088 --> 00:14:45,647
Move over.
286
00:14:58,048 --> 00:14:59,127
Why are you giving me money?
287
00:14:59,288 --> 00:15:00,127
They say
288
00:15:00,127 --> 00:15:01,127
when love fails,
289
00:15:01,127 --> 00:15:02,007
luck in gambling prevails.
290
00:15:02,527 --> 00:15:03,568
Take it out
291
00:15:03,568 --> 00:15:04,448
and win some back.
292
00:15:04,727 --> 00:15:05,767
That way you'll be of some use.
293
00:15:06,247 --> 00:15:07,288
Why are you...?
294
00:15:38,168 --> 00:15:38,887
Miss Xie!
295
00:15:38,968 --> 00:15:40,408
There's news of Mr. Zhao!
296
00:15:40,408 --> 00:15:41,607
Chuan is back.
297
00:15:41,767 --> 00:15:42,408
Miss Xie,
298
00:15:42,408 --> 00:15:43,208
Chuan is back!
299
00:15:43,208 --> 00:15:43,968
Where is Mr. Zhao?
300
00:15:44,487 --> 00:15:46,208
Mr. Zhao took the brothers
to capture warhorses.
301
00:15:46,328 --> 00:15:47,208
He sent me back
302
00:15:47,208 --> 00:15:47,928
to bring reinforcements.
303
00:15:48,127 --> 00:15:48,928
He'll be back in a few days.
304
00:15:49,288 --> 00:15:50,288
He was worried you might be anxious,
305
00:15:50,288 --> 00:15:51,247
so he sent me to tell you.
306
00:15:51,727 --> 00:15:52,767
They went out to prepare for battle.
307
00:15:53,007 --> 00:15:53,928
Everything was going fine,
308
00:15:53,928 --> 00:15:54,928
so why the sudden change of plan?
309
00:15:54,928 --> 00:15:56,127
It's all that Lu Dahu's fault.
310
00:15:56,847 --> 00:15:58,448
Not only did he trip us up,
311
00:15:58,928 --> 00:15:59,487
but he also
312
00:15:59,487 --> 00:16:00,288
killed civilians and claimed credit.
313
00:16:00,367 --> 00:16:01,568
He wanted our heads.
314
00:16:02,247 --> 00:16:03,487
He's absolute trash.
315
00:16:04,247 --> 00:16:04,688
So
316
00:16:04,688 --> 00:16:05,808
are you all alright?
317
00:16:06,328 --> 00:16:07,367
We just got humiliated.
318
00:16:07,688 --> 00:16:08,367
Don't worry.
319
00:16:08,647 --> 00:16:09,727
We'll take those warhorses
320
00:16:09,808 --> 00:16:10,928
and won't come back empty-handed.
321
00:16:12,168 --> 00:16:13,208
Shameless wretch!
322
00:16:14,328 --> 00:16:15,808
I thought Lu Dahu
323
00:16:16,007 --> 00:16:17,328
was just a shameless lecher.
324
00:16:17,487 --> 00:16:18,847
I figured I could just stay
out of his way.
325
00:16:19,527 --> 00:16:20,367
Who would've thought
326
00:16:20,847 --> 00:16:23,048
he'd do something this vile,
327
00:16:23,208 --> 00:16:24,448
and even make
Mr. Zhao's life miserable?
328
00:16:28,208 --> 00:16:29,448
You go help Mr. Zhao first.
329
00:16:29,647 --> 00:16:30,607
He needs you more.
330
00:16:30,968 --> 00:16:31,847
But Miss Xie...
331
00:16:32,448 --> 00:16:32,968
Don't worry.
332
00:16:33,288 --> 00:16:33,887
I'm here.
333
00:16:34,727 --> 00:16:35,448
And me.
334
00:16:37,808 --> 00:16:38,968
A monster like that
335
00:16:39,767 --> 00:16:41,168
isn't worth dirtying our hands over.
336
00:16:46,127 --> 00:16:46,727
Miss Xie.
337
00:17:00,367 --> 00:17:01,367
The other day,
338
00:17:01,688 --> 00:17:03,448
I was rude to reject your kindness.
339
00:17:04,087 --> 00:17:05,968
I have let your goodwill go to waste.
340
00:17:06,848 --> 00:17:08,408
With Banner Commander Zhao gone,
341
00:17:08,888 --> 00:17:09,968
I must find
342
00:17:10,408 --> 00:17:12,208
someone to lean on.
343
00:17:12,648 --> 00:17:13,848
If you are willing,
344
00:17:14,287 --> 00:17:15,487
the Lu family will always welcome you.
345
00:17:16,168 --> 00:17:17,247
I will be home
346
00:17:18,727 --> 00:17:20,047
alone tonight.
347
00:17:37,208 --> 00:17:38,128
My dear.
348
00:17:42,968 --> 00:17:44,047
My dear.
349
00:17:57,727 --> 00:17:59,047
I didn't expect you
350
00:17:59,047 --> 00:18:00,368
to be even more eager than I am.
351
00:18:01,287 --> 00:18:02,527
Already in bed.
352
00:18:07,327 --> 00:18:08,448
I brought you
353
00:18:08,448 --> 00:18:09,448
some fine wine.
354
00:18:10,727 --> 00:18:12,608
I had hoped
we could share a drink or two,
355
00:18:13,047 --> 00:18:14,128
to lift the spirits.
356
00:18:56,327 --> 00:18:57,168
Back then,
357
00:18:57,327 --> 00:18:58,968
I met Sanniang by chance
358
00:18:58,968 --> 00:19:00,247
through a twist of fate.
359
00:19:00,487 --> 00:19:02,168
If it weren't for Sanniang,
360
00:19:02,848 --> 00:19:03,527
then...
361
00:19:04,247 --> 00:19:04,888
Right.
362
00:19:04,888 --> 00:19:06,928
It was Miss Xie who saved me first.
363
00:19:06,928 --> 00:19:08,247
And then I saved her.
364
00:19:08,247 --> 00:19:08,888
Shall we
365
00:19:09,007 --> 00:19:10,408
call it a day?
366
00:19:10,408 --> 00:19:11,567
It's late and chilly.
367
00:19:11,567 --> 00:19:13,128
We should get some rest.
368
00:19:15,567 --> 00:19:16,168
Madam.
369
00:19:16,368 --> 00:19:17,047
Something's wrong.
370
00:19:17,047 --> 00:19:17,848
There's trouble!
371
00:19:20,368 --> 00:19:20,888
Madam,
372
00:19:21,327 --> 00:19:22,688
Lu Dahu was bitten by dogs.
373
00:19:23,287 --> 00:19:24,047
Dogs?
374
00:19:27,968 --> 00:19:29,007
Where did it happen?
375
00:19:29,007 --> 00:19:30,168
At your place.
376
00:19:31,767 --> 00:19:33,247
Please seek justice for me, Madam.
377
00:19:34,928 --> 00:19:35,527
Dahu,
378
00:19:35,968 --> 00:19:37,047
are you alright?
379
00:19:37,047 --> 00:19:38,007
Everyone, leave now.
380
00:19:38,408 --> 00:19:39,767
He's just a scoundrel.
381
00:19:39,928 --> 00:19:41,087
Nothing worth seeing.
382
00:19:45,086 --> 00:19:46,186
(Zhao Residence)
383
00:19:46,208 --> 00:19:47,888
Please seek justice for me, Madam.
384
00:19:49,648 --> 00:19:52,208
My brother was not bitten by accident.
385
00:19:54,047 --> 00:19:54,888
It was her.
386
00:19:56,807 --> 00:19:58,448
You cruel wretch.
387
00:19:58,968 --> 00:20:00,168
If you weren't willing,
388
00:20:00,688 --> 00:20:02,007
you could have just rejected.
389
00:20:02,007 --> 00:20:03,727
Why did you set the dogs on my brother?
390
00:20:03,727 --> 00:20:04,848
Don't listen to her, everyone.
391
00:20:07,487 --> 00:20:09,408
My dogs only know
how to guard the house.
392
00:20:09,968 --> 00:20:10,807
If your brother hadn't
393
00:20:10,807 --> 00:20:12,327
come out of nowhere,
394
00:20:12,448 --> 00:20:13,848
how would he have been bitten?
395
00:20:13,848 --> 00:20:14,807
That's right.
396
00:20:14,807 --> 00:20:16,208
I beg you to investigate, Madam.
397
00:20:16,368 --> 00:20:18,688
My brother
is a deputy battalion commander.
398
00:20:19,208 --> 00:20:20,688
A junior fifth-rank official.
399
00:20:21,527 --> 00:20:22,448
This cannot be
400
00:20:22,448 --> 00:20:24,047
left unresolved.
401
00:20:24,047 --> 00:20:25,047
Madam Wang,
402
00:20:25,448 --> 00:20:27,007
I beg you.
403
00:20:28,567 --> 00:20:29,888
If you cannot
404
00:20:29,888 --> 00:20:31,287
deliver justice for us today,
405
00:20:32,087 --> 00:20:33,567
I will beat the Dengwen Drum
406
00:20:33,567 --> 00:20:35,168
and demand an answer!
407
00:20:35,327 --> 00:20:35,767
Right.
408
00:20:36,527 --> 00:20:38,688
Look what they did to my brother!
409
00:20:40,727 --> 00:20:41,688
Yes, beat the drum.
410
00:20:41,688 --> 00:20:42,527
Beat the drum.
411
00:20:42,527 --> 00:20:44,688
Look what it did to my brother.

How is it?
415
00:20:55,208 --> 00:20:55,928
Not bad.
416
00:20:56,807 --> 00:20:58,928
Our cooperation
will keep getting better.
417
00:20:59,848 --> 00:21:00,688
Of course.
418
00:21:04,168 --> 00:21:05,567
You go count the goods.
419
00:21:06,287 --> 00:21:06,727
Go.
420
00:21:33,247 --> 00:21:33,888
Brothers,
421
00:21:34,648 --> 00:21:35,448
capture the warhorses!
422
00:21:54,247 --> 00:21:55,807
We've got so many warhorses this time.
423
00:21:55,888 --> 00:21:57,047
Our military merits are sealed.
424
00:21:57,448 --> 00:21:58,047
Right.
425
00:21:58,247 --> 00:21:59,247
I'd like to see what Lu Dahu
426
00:21:59,247 --> 00:22:00,567
has to say now.

It seems something has happened
at your home.
433
00:22:30,688 --> 00:22:32,168
You go report to Commander Wang
about the warhorses.
434

I'll find him later.
435
00:22:33,608 --> 00:22:33,968
Alright.
436
00:22:44,527 --> 00:22:45,287
How is he?
437

Afraid of what?
440
00:22:55,128 --> 00:22:56,888
I'm afraid he'll be crippled for life.

Ever since my brother could walk,
452
00:23:19,208 --> 00:23:20,527
he could wield a blade.
453
00:23:21,567 --> 00:23:24,247
He hasn't even made his name yet.

you must deliver justice for us today!

Madam Wang!
459
00:23:35,007 --> 00:23:36,767
After all, your dogs hurt him.
460
00:23:37,368 --> 00:23:38,928
What do you propose to make amends?
461
00:23:41,287 --> 00:23:42,287
Please ask the healer
462
00:23:42,448 --> 00:23:43,968
to prescribe the best medicine.
463
00:23:44,448 --> 00:23:45,408
Whatever it costs,
464
00:23:45,408 --> 00:23:46,448
use the most effective remedies.
465
00:23:46,767 --> 00:23:47,527
I'll cover
466
00:23:47,767 --> 00:23:48,408
all the expenses.
467
00:23:49,408 --> 00:23:50,168
Miss Xie.
468
00:23:51,567 --> 00:23:53,368
He was the one who did wrong first.
469
00:23:55,007 --> 00:23:56,688
Shut up!
470
00:23:58,327 --> 00:24:00,888
My brother is now crippled.
471
00:24:01,327 --> 00:24:04,368
Can a mere dose of medicine fix that?
472
00:24:04,888 --> 00:24:06,487
So none of you are willing
to take responsibility?
473
00:24:06,807 --> 00:24:07,567
Fine.
474
00:24:07,688 --> 00:24:09,007
I'll take this to the authorities!
475
00:24:09,727 --> 00:24:11,408

Madam Wang.
481
00:24:18,888 --> 00:24:19,408
Enough!
482
00:24:20,527 --> 00:24:22,128
Do you have to shout?
483
00:24:22,327 --> 00:24:23,327
What do you propose?
484
00:24:25,487 --> 00:24:26,888
Xie,
485
00:24:28,087 --> 00:24:29,968
I'll make you pay for this!
486
00:24:30,487 --> 00:24:33,047
You have to marry him
487
00:24:33,527 --> 00:24:34,888
right this second!
488
00:24:34,888 --> 00:24:35,727

489
00:24:36,648 --> 00:24:38,247
My dogs only bite scoundrels.
490
00:24:38,487 --> 00:24:39,527
He ended up like this
491
00:24:39,527 --> 00:24:40,888
because he had it coming!
492
00:24:40,888 --> 00:24:42,487
You're talking nonsense!
493
00:24:43,087 --> 00:24:44,247

What are you doing?
499
00:26:20,368 --> 00:26:22,327
I'm sorry, Zhao Ling.
500
00:26:22,408 --> 00:26:23,648

Please don't kill me!
504
00:26:35,128 --> 00:26:36,688
Please! I'm begging you!
505
00:26:40,247 --> 00:26:41,567
Lu Dahu,
506
00:26:45,527 --> 00:26:47,168
you scumbag!
507
00:26:47,848 --> 00:26:49,287
No!
508
00:27:13,487 --> 00:27:14,727
I killed him.
509
00:27:15,727 --> 00:27:17,128
Miss Xie had nothing to do with it.
510
00:27:17,888 --> 00:27:19,128
But as for why Lu Dahu
511
00:27:19,128 --> 00:27:20,968
set his sights on Miss Xie
time and again,
512
00:27:21,128 --> 00:27:22,327
you owe me an explanation.
513
00:27:23,208 --> 00:27:24,208
I just

Who put you up to this?
519
00:27:34,767 --> 00:27:36,047
Could it be
520
00:27:39,128 --> 00:27:41,168
that Zuo is involved too?
521
00:27:46,648 --> 00:27:48,128
So she was behind it all along.

Where did you get
544
00:29:55,608 --> 00:29:57,408
these warhorses?
545
00:29:57,848 --> 00:29:59,567
Some foreign merchants colluded
with the Wangur people.
546
00:30:01,448 --> 00:30:02,688
Someone tipped me off.
547
00:30:03,448 --> 00:30:04,287
I seized them.
548
00:30:04,487 --> 00:30:06,128
Who told you?
549
00:30:06,287 --> 00:30:07,368
Someone with the means
550
00:30:07,368 --> 00:30:08,928
to trade salt in Ganlin Town.
551
00:30:16,928 --> 00:30:18,247
Military regulations state
552
00:30:19,287 --> 00:30:20,968
that for every ten warhorses seized,
553
00:30:20,968 --> 00:30:23,087
one level of merit is granted.
554
00:30:23,648 --> 00:30:24,368
This time,
555
00:30:24,448 --> 00:30:26,247
you could have earned significant merit.
556
00:30:27,168 --> 00:30:28,408
But Lu Dahu,
557
00:30:28,408 --> 00:30:30,128
after all,
was a deputy battalion commander.
558
00:30:30,208 --> 00:30:31,648
He held an important post.
559
00:30:32,727 --> 00:30:33,928
You killed him.
560
00:30:34,327 --> 00:30:36,047
That is a heavy offense.
561
00:30:36,608 --> 00:30:37,727
Before I joined the garrison,
562
00:30:37,727 --> 00:30:38,848
I too traded in salt.
563
00:30:39,767 --> 00:30:41,448
I've dealt with all kinds of people.
564
00:30:41,688 --> 00:30:42,767
Whatever Lu Dahu could do,
565
00:30:42,767 --> 00:30:43,688
I can do too.
566
00:30:44,527 --> 00:30:46,487
I will not let Ganlin Town
run out of salt.
567
00:30:47,287 --> 00:30:50,448
The garrison turning a blind eye
to smuggling is also a grave offense.
568
00:30:50,527 --> 00:30:51,567
Are you aware of that?
569
00:30:55,208 --> 00:30:56,487
If I handle it this way,
570
00:30:58,047 --> 00:30:59,408
I am also easing your burden.
571
00:31:01,128 --> 00:31:03,168
And I will ensure
no third party ever finds out.
572
00:31:09,928 --> 00:31:10,608
Good.
573
00:31:13,128 --> 00:31:13,807
Zhao Ling.
574
00:31:14,888 --> 00:31:17,128
What you think of me does not matter.
575
00:31:18,007 --> 00:31:20,448
What matters
is that the troops have salt.
576
00:31:21,487 --> 00:31:22,848
With morale steady,
577
00:31:23,487 --> 00:31:26,007
the border towns will remain secure.
578
00:31:32,208 --> 00:31:32,968
Mo Yi!
579
00:31:36,888 --> 00:31:37,408
Commander.
580
00:31:38,327 --> 00:31:40,527
Zhao Ling seized warhorses
and has rendered meritorious service.
581
00:31:41,567 --> 00:31:42,968
He is to be appointed
Deputy Battalion Commander.
582
00:31:43,648 --> 00:31:44,767
All benefits
583
00:31:45,128 --> 00:31:46,648
shall be that
of a deputy battalion commander.
584
00:31:46,928 --> 00:31:48,448
Once the external review is completed,
585
00:31:48,448 --> 00:31:49,448
he will be officially promoted.
586
00:31:50,688 --> 00:31:52,727
As for Lu Dahu's death...
587
00:31:54,247 --> 00:31:55,047
General Mo.
588
00:31:55,807 --> 00:31:57,408
You failed to maintain order.
589
00:31:57,408 --> 00:31:58,968
You allowed your concubine
to cause chaos,
590
00:31:59,047 --> 00:32:00,208
to entice a fellow officer's fiancee.
591
00:32:01,208 --> 00:32:02,767
You are relieved of your post
as Commander.
592
00:32:03,727 --> 00:32:05,047
You are demoted to battalion commander.
593
00:32:08,608 --> 00:32:09,688
I accept your command.
594
00:32:09,863 --> 00:32:12,663
(Dadong Temple)
595
00:32:12,888 --> 00:32:14,287
I warned you before.
596
00:32:14,408 --> 00:32:16,327
If you ever crossed me again,
597
00:32:17,047 --> 00:32:18,287
you would die.
598
00:32:18,408 --> 00:32:20,727
I am willing to spend
the rest of my days in prayer.
599
00:32:20,727 --> 00:32:22,327
I beg you to show mercy.
600
00:32:27,208 --> 00:32:28,848
This temple is too small,
601
00:32:30,128 --> 00:32:31,448
and your ambitions are too grand.
602
00:32:31,448 --> 00:32:32,968
It may hold you for a time,
603
00:32:33,287 --> 00:32:35,047
but not for a lifetime.
604
00:32:36,208 --> 00:32:37,168
How about
605
00:32:38,168 --> 00:32:39,727
you return to the Fu family
to recuperate?
606
00:32:43,327 --> 00:32:45,527
I hear there is a family temple there.
607
00:32:45,888 --> 00:32:46,527
It is called...
608
00:32:49,767 --> 00:32:50,928
It is called Biyun Nunnery.
609
00:32:53,648 --> 00:32:54,567
Spare my life, Madam!
610
00:32:56,208 --> 00:32:57,527
Spare my life, Madam!
611
00:32:57,527 --> 00:32:58,527
Please, Madam!
612
00:32:58,688 --> 00:33:00,087
I don't want to go back!
613
00:33:00,527 --> 00:33:01,767
I don't want to go back!
614
00:33:02,047 --> 00:33:03,168
Please, Madam!
615
00:33:03,168 --> 00:33:04,608
Don't send me back!
616
00:33:05,567 --> 00:33:06,128
Madam!
617
00:33:06,128 --> 00:33:07,208
I know I was wrong!
618
00:33:07,208 --> 00:33:08,287
Spare my life, Madam!
619
00:33:08,567 --> 00:33:09,327
Spare my life.
620
00:33:10,968 --> 00:33:11,888
Spare my life, Madam!
621
00:33:12,007 --> 00:33:12,648
Madam!
622
00:33:12,648 --> 00:33:13,247
Madam!
623
00:33:13,368 --> 00:33:14,128
Madam!
624
00:33:14,567 --> 00:33:15,208
Madam!
625
00:33:17,487 --> 00:33:18,688
I'll wait outside.
626
00:33:18,928 --> 00:33:19,648
If you need me,
627
00:33:19,968 --> 00:33:20,688
just call.
628
00:33:27,688 --> 00:33:28,487
Zuo.
629
00:33:30,087 --> 00:33:31,487
There is only one thing
I don't understand.
630
00:33:33,448 --> 00:33:35,128
I have taken the surname Xie.
631
00:33:36,287 --> 00:33:37,848
Why do you still hate me so?
632
00:33:38,928 --> 00:33:40,527
What exactly did I do wrong?
633
00:33:46,767 --> 00:33:48,767
Do you know what an embittered woman is?
634
00:33:58,567 --> 00:33:59,928
An embittered woman
635
00:34:00,208 --> 00:34:02,487
is one who lives
636
00:34:02,767 --> 00:34:04,287
only to resent others.
637
00:34:04,888 --> 00:34:06,128
You did nothing wrong.
638
00:34:06,928 --> 00:34:08,167
You were simply unlucky
639
00:34:08,328 --> 00:34:09,968
to become the object of my hatred.
640
00:34:10,808 --> 00:34:12,087
Clinging to you
641
00:34:12,207 --> 00:34:14,127
is what makes my life interesting.
642
00:34:14,207 --> 00:34:15,848
This is what the Fu family
643
00:34:17,647 --> 00:34:19,007
owes me.
644
00:34:22,647 --> 00:34:24,968
If you had only targeted me alone,
645
00:34:26,487 --> 00:34:27,368
I might have let it be.
646
00:34:29,007 --> 00:34:30,527
But what about the others?
647
00:34:31,328 --> 00:34:33,127
You mistreated the students.
648
00:34:33,687 --> 00:34:35,328
You used Concubine Lu
to stir up trouble.
649
00:34:35,408 --> 00:34:36,567
You even put other girls
650
00:34:38,567 --> 00:34:40,007
at risk in the hall.
651
00:34:40,207 --> 00:34:40,928
So?
652
00:34:42,167 --> 00:34:43,487
Why should they be spared
653
00:34:43,647 --> 00:34:44,928
what I went through?
654
00:34:46,047 --> 00:34:48,007
What you did in Huaying
655
00:34:48,928 --> 00:34:50,928
may have been born
from your own bitter grievances.
656
00:34:51,288 --> 00:34:52,888
But what about what you did in Ganlin?
657
00:34:53,007 --> 00:34:53,808
In the end,
658
00:34:55,408 --> 00:34:57,288
it was all for your selfish desires.
659
00:34:57,687 --> 00:34:59,047
You draped your misery
660
00:34:59,047 --> 00:35:00,328
over your malice like a veil.
661
00:35:05,607 --> 00:35:06,768
How dull.
662
00:35:11,928 --> 00:35:13,928
So you saw through me after all.
663
00:35:16,647 --> 00:35:17,408
Enough.
664
00:35:19,487 --> 00:35:20,768
As for my life,
665
00:35:21,848 --> 00:35:23,808
the first half, I was a chaste widow.
666
00:35:25,768 --> 00:35:27,888
The second, I was a fallen woman.
667
00:35:31,728 --> 00:35:33,167
I've lived as I pleased.
668
00:35:36,448 --> 00:35:38,288
You've been talking to me this long
669
00:35:38,888 --> 00:35:40,928
just for that written confession.
670
00:35:42,448 --> 00:35:43,527
I can give it to you.
671
00:35:44,848 --> 00:35:45,768
Back then,
672
00:35:47,248 --> 00:35:49,768
I did want my brother to marry you.
673
00:35:49,888 --> 00:35:51,047
But that scheme
674
00:35:52,448 --> 00:35:54,448
was Yu Jingxiu's idea.
675
00:35:57,487 --> 00:35:58,687
Why would he do this to me?
676
00:35:59,728 --> 00:36:01,087
He didn't want to marry you.
677
00:36:02,848 --> 00:36:04,328
So he deliberately
678
00:36:04,328 --> 00:36:05,647
sent me a letter
679
00:36:06,087 --> 00:36:07,207
to slander your virtue.
680
00:36:07,237 --> 00:36:08,463
(To Madam Zuo)
681
00:36:08,487 --> 00:36:09,328
For this,
682
00:36:10,687 --> 00:36:13,448
Yu Jingxiu even promised my brother
an official post.
683
00:36:14,127 --> 00:36:15,808
When fortune fell into my lap,
684
00:36:17,527 --> 00:36:19,328
(Framing Fu to break the engagement)
of course I'd seize it.
685
00:36:20,687 --> 00:36:22,808
But words alone wouldn't suffice.
686
00:36:23,527 --> 00:36:25,448
Fortunately, Moxiang
687
00:36:25,768 --> 00:36:26,928
was soft-hearted.
688
00:36:27,928 --> 00:36:28,928
She agreed
689
00:36:30,007 --> 00:36:31,768
to obtain your undergarment.
690
00:36:32,368 --> 00:36:33,328
As for the rest,
691
00:36:34,808 --> 00:36:36,047
you already know.
692
00:36:39,047 --> 00:36:39,607
Thanks.
693
00:36:48,970 --> 00:36:49,610
(Written Confession)
694
00:36:49,630 --> 00:36:50,516
(Yu Jingxiu instigated the coercion
of Fu Tingyun to marry my brother.)
695
00:36:50,549 --> 00:36:51,136
(Signature of Declarant:
Madam Fu, nee Zuo)
696
00:36:51,163 --> 00:36:52,063
(Acting on Zuo's orders,
slandered Fu Tingyun)
697
00:36:52,083 --> 00:36:52,996
(Fabricated charges of secret affairs
against her.)
698
00:36:53,016 --> 00:36:53,776
(Signature of Declarant: Zuo Junjie)
699
00:36:53,797 --> 00:36:55,094
(Having been sworn sisters with Tingyun
for years, she was framed.)
700
00:36:55,104 --> 00:36:55,801
(Signature of Declarant: Fan Yake)
701
00:37:01,368 --> 00:37:02,687
I saw your light was still on.
702
00:37:05,087 --> 00:37:05,808
Still up?
703
00:37:10,728 --> 00:37:12,167
How about we sit outside for a bit?
704
00:37:17,607 --> 00:37:19,248
My grandmother used to say
705
00:37:20,527 --> 00:37:21,527
that for a woman, marriage
706
00:37:22,328 --> 00:37:23,888
is like being born anew.
707
00:37:26,167 --> 00:37:28,248
At first, I only saw
the Zuo family's greed.
708
00:37:28,328 --> 00:37:30,047
I was afraid of being used
as a stepping stone
709
00:37:30,408 --> 00:37:31,487
and falling into the abyss.
710
00:37:33,607 --> 00:37:35,007
Little did I expect that in the end,
711
00:37:36,007 --> 00:37:37,928
it was Mr. Yu who cast me aside.
712
00:37:39,607 --> 00:37:41,248
If he were a man of character,
713
00:37:41,768 --> 00:37:42,848
he should have been straightforward
714
00:37:42,848 --> 00:37:44,167
and told his mother
he didn't want to marry you.
715
00:37:45,087 --> 00:37:46,408
Instead, he plotted and schemed
716
00:37:46,808 --> 00:37:47,647
to destroy your reputation.
717
00:37:50,167 --> 00:37:51,687
He is utterly despicable.
718
00:37:53,288 --> 00:37:54,127
The fault is not yours.
719
00:38:00,808 --> 00:38:02,248
And don't let the past trouble you.
720
00:38:06,248 --> 00:38:07,248
Don't worry, Mr. Zhao.
721
00:38:08,607 --> 00:38:09,647
At this point,
722
00:38:09,968 --> 00:38:11,848
we finally know who our opponent is.
723
00:38:11,848 --> 00:38:13,448
That's not necessarily a bad thing.
724
00:38:15,768 --> 00:38:16,968
I was just thinking,
725
00:38:17,928 --> 00:38:19,248
the Yu family is powerful.
726
00:38:20,248 --> 00:38:21,687
How are we going to get
727
00:38:21,687 --> 00:38:23,207
the fourth written confession?
728
00:38:39,567 --> 00:38:40,527
Right will prevail over wrong.
729
00:38:42,207 --> 00:38:43,567
No matter how dangerous it is,
730
00:38:46,768 --> 00:38:47,607
I'll be with you.
731
00:39:19,968 --> 00:39:20,487
Sister.
732
00:39:22,087 --> 00:39:22,607
Sister.
733
00:39:22,968 --> 00:39:23,687
Junjie.
734
00:39:24,288 --> 00:39:25,328
Sister, you finally came.
735
00:39:25,328 --> 00:39:26,127
I knew
736
00:39:26,127 --> 00:39:27,527
you wouldn't abandon me.
737
00:39:29,687 --> 00:39:30,047
Sister.
738
00:39:30,047 --> 00:39:30,368
Come on.
739
00:39:30,368 --> 00:39:30,888
Get up.
740
00:39:33,368 --> 00:39:34,448
You must've had a hard time.
741
00:39:34,448 --> 00:39:35,047
Come on.
742
00:39:35,647 --> 00:39:36,207
Get up.
743
00:39:36,207 --> 00:39:37,768
I brought your favorite food.
744
00:39:44,928 --> 00:39:45,567
Sister.
745
00:39:47,328 --> 00:39:48,968
I'll never be an official now.
746
00:39:48,968 --> 00:39:50,647
I have nothing left.
747
00:39:51,167 --> 00:39:52,768
All I have is you.
748
00:39:54,728 --> 00:39:55,527
Don't be afraid.
749
00:39:55,888 --> 00:39:57,768
I've already made all the arrangements.
750
00:39:58,408 --> 00:39:59,328
Tonight,
751
00:39:59,647 --> 00:40:01,087
someone will come to take you away.
752
00:40:03,487 --> 00:40:04,007
Here.
753
00:40:04,768 --> 00:40:05,487
Don't choke.
754
00:40:06,968 --> 00:40:07,448
Sister.
755
00:40:16,687 --> 00:40:17,487
Junjie.
756
00:40:20,288 --> 00:40:21,487
You've been through so much.
757
00:40:43,207 --> 00:40:44,207
It hurts so much.
758
00:40:47,250 --> 00:40:50,350
(Dadong Temple)
759
00:41:04,408 --> 00:41:05,888
It took me so much
760
00:41:06,487 --> 00:41:08,768
to crawl out of the Fu family
in Huaying.
761
00:41:10,728 --> 00:41:13,288
I don't want to go back
to that gloomy place anymore.
762
00:41:15,647 --> 00:41:17,368
This memorial arch,
763
00:41:18,687 --> 00:41:19,888
whoever wants it
764
00:41:20,607 --> 00:41:22,448
can guard it themselves.
765
00:41:23,768 --> 00:41:25,808
I've spent my whole life
merely existing.
766
00:41:28,328 --> 00:41:30,087
Now it's time to truly live.
767
00:41:56,210 --> 00:41:58,850
(Next Episode)
768
00:41:59,248 --> 00:42:00,687
Jin Yuanbao sent word.
769
00:42:00,968 --> 00:42:02,968
(Yu Jingxiu, Compiler)
After Yu Jingxiu became the top scholar,
770
00:42:02,968 --> 00:42:03,968
he entered the Hanlin Academy
771
00:42:04,368 --> 00:42:05,848
and became a compiler.
772
00:42:06,368 --> 00:42:07,728
What does it have to do
with the external review?
773
00:42:08,527 --> 00:42:10,127
His showing up in Ganlin Town now
774
00:42:10,408 --> 00:42:11,968
probably means he's up to no good.
775
00:42:12,728 --> 00:42:14,527
Ganlin Town is like a swamp.
776
00:42:15,328 --> 00:42:17,728
You have to walk over corpses
to carve a path forward.
777
00:42:17,728 --> 00:42:19,288
Ten lifetimes won't be enough
to get ahead.
778
00:42:20,087 --> 00:42:20,687
(Coincidentally,)
779
00:42:21,487 --> 00:42:22,888
(you've run right into me.)
780
00:42:23,567 --> 00:42:24,487
(Want to turn things around?)
781
00:42:25,487 --> 00:42:26,288
(That's a bit difficult.)
782
00:42:28,047 --> 00:42:29,647
You hypocrite.

00:44:03,201 --> 00:44:07,201

half my life♪
