00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,700
=The Road to Splendor=

2
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:34,760
(Adapted from China Literature author
Zhizhi's novel of the same name)

3
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,960
=Episode 5=

4
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:39,359
Father,

5
00:01:40,239 --> 00:01:41,159
all these years,

6
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,480
you've run our household
with frugality and diligence.

7
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:46,200
I've never told you this,

8
00:01:46,879 --> 00:01:48,879
but I loathe leftover cold rice.

9
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,959
Living on leftovers day after day,

10
00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:55,239
a musty, shabby scent
clings to the skin.

11
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,079
That odor never fails to remind me

12
00:02:02,879 --> 00:02:04,680
that I am inferior to others.

13
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:19,759
Madam Yu.

14
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,840
Mother isn't feeling well,

15
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:27,840
so she couldn't see you off today.

16
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,800
I hope you'll forgive her.

17
00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:31,319
Once we part today,

18
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,360
who knows when we'll meet again.

19
00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:35,479
Please tell the Old Madam

20
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:36,960
to take good care of herself.

21
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:45,639
Master Fan.

22
00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:47,840
Miss Fan.

23
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:11,039
Be careful with that chest.

24
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:11,919
Inside is

25
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,039
a rare edition from the previous dynasty

26
00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:14,080
of the Collected Commentaries
on the Four Books.

27
00:03:14,439 --> 00:03:16,039
It's the only surviving copy
in existence.

28
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,199
Its value can't be measured in money.

29
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,039
I suppose there is one good thing.

30
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:29,800
At least

31
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,159
he's willing to sit the exams
and make a name for himself.

32
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,759
If you succeed in the examinations,

33
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,280
do not fail me.

34
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:47,800
At least now,

35
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,560
I've finally taken my fate

36
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,000
into my own hands.

37
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,719
I chose a husband
for his family standing,

38
00:03:56,439 --> 00:03:58,159
and he truly cares for me.

39
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,840
She used to live at the mercy of others.

40
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:06,240
Now she's risen in status,

41
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,520
and sees our family
as her stepping stone.

42
00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:11,400
Madam,

43
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:13,240
you still don't approve of Miss Fan?

44
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,480
Whether I approve of her or not

45
00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:18,120
hardly matters now.

46
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,319
It's the Ninth Young Lady
I feel sorry for.

47
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:27,560
Never mind.

48
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,600
What matters most now

49
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,639
is getting to Linchun Town

50
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:33,680
and finding the Crown Prince.

51
00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:36,920
If Jingxiu can win his favor,

52
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,560
his path ahead

53
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:41,839
will be much easier.

54
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,960
(My Sworn Sister, Yuwei)

55
00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:29,800
Ninth Young Lady,

56
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,519
open your eyes and see

57
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,720
how people with no family or status

58
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,800
make their way in this world.

59
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,519
Let's go.

60
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:41,879
Eat it.

61
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:50,879
Ninth Young Lady,

62
00:05:51,439 --> 00:05:53,199
we're supposed to be refugees right now.

63
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:54,560
Thanks to you,

64
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,360
we're being chased
by all sorts of people.

65
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,480
I promised your mother,

66
00:05:58,720 --> 00:05:59,839
I'd take you back to the capital.

67
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:08,879
Mr. Zhao,

68
00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:11,639
could we not go to the capital,

69
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,120
and go to Yongning Prefecture instead?

70
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:15,480
Why?

71
00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:24,279
If I head to the capital

72
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,199
without clearing things up,

73
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,480
won't I be admitting to adultery?

74
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:30,759
Zuo Junjie

75
00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:32,519
is going to Yongning Prefecture
for the examinations.

76
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:33,680
I want to go there

77
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,199
and find a way to have him captured.

78
00:06:36,199 --> 00:06:37,000
I'll have him interrogated

79
00:06:37,399 --> 00:06:38,800
and force him to sign
a written confession.

80
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:39,920
Then I'll go to the capital

81
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:40,800
and use it to clear my name.

82
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,680
Quite a plan, Ninth Young Lady.

83
00:06:45,399 --> 00:06:46,639
But let me ask you something.

84
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,639
Who's going to capture him
and interrogate him for you?

85
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:51,759
And even if you find him,

86
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,040
what exactly are you going to use
to clear your name?

87
00:06:55,079 --> 00:06:55,879
Don't tell me

88
00:06:56,079 --> 00:06:57,040
you're counting on us.

89
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,600
Wake up.

90
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:06,839
You are no longer

91
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,279
the Ninth Young Lady of the Fu family.

92
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,399
That's what your mother wanted too.

93
00:07:36,279 --> 00:07:37,480
Eat something. Then we leave.

94
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,720
Miss Xie.

95
00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:52,040
When I went to Biyun Nunnery,

96
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:55,720
I only wanted your money.

97
00:07:57,759 --> 00:07:58,759
I wasn't trying to save you.

98
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,360
And I only promised your mother
I'd take you to the capital

99
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,240
because she paid me.

100
00:08:08,439 --> 00:08:09,720
I'm only doing what I was paid to do.

101
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:36,440
So, are you coming or not?

102
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:39,759
If we don't leave now,
it'll be dark soon.

103
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:42,360
And there are wolves out here.

104
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:52,799
Wait.

105
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:54,120
Hold on.

106
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:21,519
Help!

107
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,480
Please help me!

108
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:23,519
Help!

109
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:24,679
Please, sir! Help me!

110
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:25,240
Help!

111
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,519
- That's the last of our food.
- Give it to me!

112
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:28,000
Give it to me!

113
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:28,600
Sir!

114
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,200
Please!

115
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,080
Please help me!

116
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:30,919
Please, sir!

117
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:32,600
I'll do anything for you!

118
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,240
I'll be your servant for life!

119
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,480
Please help me!

120
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:36,440
Please!

121
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,200
I'll do anything you ask!

122
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:38,600
Sen.

123
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:39,159
Let go!

124
00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:40,080
No way.

125
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:40,720
Stay out of this.

126
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:41,559
Please!

127
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:42,120
No!

128
00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:43,840
Sir!

129
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,360
- Sir, I'm begging you!
- Let go!

130
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,000
Please!

131
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:46,960
I'm begging you!

132
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:47,720
- Please!
- Let go!

133
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:48,720
Save me!

134
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:50,399
Please!

135
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,000
Help me!

136
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:53,840
Food!

137
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,039
Food!

138
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,519
There's food here too!

139
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:02,759
They've got more food!

140
00:10:02,879 --> 00:10:03,559
Get back!

141
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:04,159
Go away!

142
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,080
Stay back!

143
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:05,720
Get away!

144
00:10:06,159 --> 00:10:07,120
Stay back!

145
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:07,679
Get back!

146
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:08,720
Go away!

147
00:10:10,159 --> 00:10:11,120
Stop!

148
00:10:11,799 --> 00:10:12,919
The food's on the horse!

149
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,320
Great. Just great.

150
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,320
Thanks to you,

151
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:25,600
our food is gone,

152
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,600
and so is our money!

153
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:28,000
Now we're all going hungry!

154
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:29,960
I was only trying to help her.

155
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,120
Look at the state you're in.

156
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:32,919
You think you can save others?

157
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,320
You're not some pampered young lady
anymore.

158
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:36,960
How many times do we have to tell you?

159
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,240
Sen!

160
00:10:40,919 --> 00:10:41,960
Don't do anything so stupid again.

161
00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:43,919
You're hurt.

162
00:10:44,919 --> 00:10:45,559
Let's go!

163
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:47,879
Cause us any more trouble,

164
00:10:47,879 --> 00:10:48,840
and we'll leave you here.

165
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:49,759
Without us,

166
00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:51,000
you'll end up just like that woman.

167
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:02,720
Sir,

168
00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:03,759
we're on horseback.

169
00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:04,799
We can go faster than him.

170
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:06,200
If we're headed the right way,

171
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,200
we'll catch him.

172
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:09,000
Keep your blades out of sight.

173
00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:10,279
Don't draw attention.

174
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,559
But the second you spot him,

175
00:11:12,879 --> 00:11:14,639
hack him to pieces.

176
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:15,720
Yes, sir!

177
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:16,399
Yes, sir!

178
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:17,519
Move out!

179
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:33,360
That shovel must've been filthy.

180
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:35,840
This is on you.

181
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,039
If you hadn't stuck your nose in,

182
00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:38,799
Mr. Zhao wouldn't have gotten hurt.

183
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,200
You're the quickest.

184
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,440
Head to the nearest town

185
00:11:47,399 --> 00:11:48,639
and pick up some wound salve.

186
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:49,480
Go. Now.

187
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,240
I remember a temple not far from here.

188
00:11:54,039 --> 00:11:55,000
Puji Temple.

189
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,320
Meet us there.

190
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,360
Go.

191
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:04,519
Enjoying the view?

192
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:22,759
I'm sorry.

193
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,320
This is my fault.

194
00:13:30,759 --> 00:13:31,960
Comes with the territory.

195
00:13:32,759 --> 00:13:33,679
No big deal.

196
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,159
I'm wrong if I leave someone to die.

197
00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:39,840
I'm wrong if I save them too.

198
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,080
Once you lose your sense of direction,

199
00:13:44,879 --> 00:13:46,679
every road feels wrong.

200
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,840
If I'm not the Ninth Young Lady
of the Fu family anymore,

201
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,519
then who am I?

202
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,679
Who am I supposed to be?

203
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,240
You know,

204
00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:09,440
truth is,

205
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,159
I'm not Jiuweijiao.

206
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,000
I'm just a salt smuggler.

207
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,519
One time, on a smuggling run,

208
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,080
I got caught in a struggle
between Jiuweijiao and his own men.

209
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:25,799
What I brought you

210
00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:27,360
is top-grade Ground Snow.

211
00:14:27,639 --> 00:14:28,679
You can't find this stuff anywhere.

212
00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:40,600
You bring the money?

213
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:46,519
We're rich!

214
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:48,519
We hit it big this time!

215
00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:49,279
We did it!

216
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,559
Who gave you the nerve

217
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,879
to steal my salt and sell it
behind my back?

218
00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:55,519
Mr. Jiu.

219
00:14:55,919 --> 00:14:56,519
Mr. Jiu.

220
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,559
We've been with you for years.

221
00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,720
Please, spare me.

222
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,240
If I don't make an example of you today,

223
00:15:02,559 --> 00:15:03,320
how am I supposed to

224
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,799
keep the rest of my men in line?

225
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,799
Take the money.

226
00:15:08,799 --> 00:15:09,600
It's all yours.

227
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:10,720
Please, Mr. Jiu,

228
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:11,759
just let me live!

229
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:26,519
Go!

230
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:27,240
Go!

231
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:27,519
Come on!

232
00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:27,879
Quick!

233
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:28,919
Move, Sen!

234
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:29,600
Go!

235
00:15:37,879 --> 00:15:39,840
(Jiuweijiao's men were selling his salt
on the side.)

236
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,240
(We got caught in the fallout.)

237
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:42,399
(We lost our money)

238
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:43,960
(and never got the salt.)

239
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:46,720
Guys!

240
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,200
We're dead either way!

241
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,240
Whoever kills him

242
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,120
and takes his token

243
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,279
becomes the next Jiuweijiao!

244
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:53,799
Run! Move!

245
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:54,360
Run!

246
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:54,919
Give it up.

247
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:55,879
Give up.

248
00:15:55,879 --> 00:15:56,399
Let's give it up.

249
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:57,559
Go!

250
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:00,759
No.

251
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:01,360
Sen!

252
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:31,879
Sen.

253
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:33,679
Sen.

254
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:37,639
Sen.

255
00:16:39,559 --> 00:16:40,559
Ling.

256
00:16:49,799 --> 00:16:50,519
You okay?

257
00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:07,920
Are you trying to get yourself killed?

258
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,200
Why'd you hit me?

259
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:11,279
I...

260
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:15,559
Ling,

261
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:17,440
people like us don't get many chances.

262
00:17:17,519 --> 00:17:18,640
We scraped together that money.

263
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,599
We've struggled all our lives.

264
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:22,599
We were counting on this deal

265
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:24,039
to finally move up in the world
as salt merchants.

266
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:27,319
The salt

267
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,880
was my future!

268
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:35,319
You okay?

269
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:36,519
You okay?

270
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:37,319
Are you okay?

271
00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:39,880
I knew that amount

272
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,119
couldn't possibly buy Ground Snow.

273
00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:42,119
Come on.

274
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,240
Let's go.

275
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:46,000
Ling,

276
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:46,960
we should go.

277
00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:48,480
We're no match for Jiuweijiao.

278
00:17:58,359 --> 00:17:59,279
Jiuweijiao...

279
00:18:01,839 --> 00:18:02,279
Let's go.

280
00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:03,079
Come on.

281
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,160
I had to make sure

282
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:26,799
my men were fed and taken care of.

283
00:18:32,039 --> 00:18:33,160
That's when

284
00:18:33,599 --> 00:18:35,160
I ended up with this token.

285
00:18:37,519 --> 00:18:39,480
But becoming Jiuweijiao
didn't make my life any easier.

286
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,519
His men want me dead.

287
00:18:42,319 --> 00:18:43,799
The authorities want me behind bars.

288
00:18:44,839 --> 00:18:46,319
And the gangs want nothing
to do with me.

289
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,599
I'd say I've had it pretty rough,

290
00:18:49,039 --> 00:18:50,119
no?

291
00:18:51,279 --> 00:18:52,359
But you know what?

292
00:18:52,559 --> 00:18:53,920
I'll survive.

293
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,799
Are you trying to make me feel better?

294
00:18:59,279 --> 00:19:00,759
People have to keep moving forward.

295
00:19:01,079 --> 00:19:02,839
What you're born into doesn't matter.

296
00:19:02,839 --> 00:19:04,200
What matters is who you make
of yourself.

297
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,599
People can change their places
in this world.

298
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,160
Keep looking!

299
00:19:10,839 --> 00:19:12,440
Your enemies?

300
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,480
Jiuweijiao's.

301
00:19:14,839 --> 00:19:15,400
Over there!

302
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:17,400
If things go bad...

303
00:19:17,799 --> 00:19:18,599
Check over there!

304
00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:19,400
Use this to protect yourself.

305
00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:23,279
Look everywhere!

306
00:19:24,559 --> 00:19:25,400
Nothing here.

307
00:19:25,559 --> 00:19:26,519
Pull the blade out.

308
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Go for something vital,

309
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,200
and run.

310
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:29,960
Can you do that?

311
00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:31,640
You two, check over there!

312
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:32,680
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

313
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,039
I...

314
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,480
I can't.

315
00:19:35,759 --> 00:19:36,559
Yes, you can.

316
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:38,640
You've got more nerve than you think.

317
00:19:41,559 --> 00:19:42,079
(Search!)

318
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:43,599
We can't stay here.

319
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,160
We need to get to Puji Temple.

320
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,359
If we run into them,

321
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,200
pretend you've never seen me before.

322
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,440
They don't know your face.

323
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,519
You might make it out alive.

324
00:20:01,079 --> 00:20:01,559
Come on.

325
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,320
(Puji Temple)

326
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,360
(Qin Feiyu, Mo Yi)

327
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,559
Look at how they're dressed.

328
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,440
They're no ordinary travelers.

329
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,200
We're far from home.

330
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:38,839
Best not to start any trouble.

331
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:48,160
We...

332
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,279
we're merchants passing through.

333
00:20:50,519 --> 00:20:51,680
We couldn't make it to town
before nightfall.

334
00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:54,119
Would you mind

335
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:54,759
if we stayed here tonight?

336
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,039
Sure.

337
00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:05,400
Of course.

338
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,079
There are quite a few of us,

339
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:08,599
and we've settled
in the northwest corner.

340
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,319
You can take the northeast corner.

341
00:21:10,599 --> 00:21:11,640
That way we'll stay
out of each other's way.

342
00:21:12,519 --> 00:21:13,200
Thank you.

343
00:22:07,279 --> 00:22:08,519
Find somewhere to hide. Now.

344
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:10,319
Be careful.

345
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:21,519
You seen this man?

346
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,279
He's traveling with a young boy.

347
00:22:25,759 --> 00:22:26,359
What about you?

348
00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:28,160
I'm talking to you!

349
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:28,880
Watch your mouth!

350
00:22:31,599 --> 00:22:32,359
Sir,

351
00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:33,759
we only just arrived ourselves.

352
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:35,359
We've never seen the man

353
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:36,599
you're looking for.

354
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:39,640
Search the place.

355
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:57,759
No time to explain.

356
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:00,039
Sorry about this.

357
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,480
Guys,

358
00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:12,960
here

359
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,920
is a pretty lady all alone.

360
00:23:21,039 --> 00:23:23,319
I know where the man you're after went.

361
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,319
What's in it for me?

362
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:27,799
What's in it for you?

363
00:23:27,799 --> 00:23:29,279
What do you want?

364
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,359
Can you take me to Yongning Prefecture?
I have family there.

365
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:36,759
The man you're looking for

366
00:23:36,839 --> 00:23:38,519
carries a pair of fighting staffs.

367
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,119
He's also traveling

368
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,480
with a boy, twelve or thirteen.

369
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:44,480
Come out!

370
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,640
They seem

371
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,079
to be headed that way.

372
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,319
Whatever you hear,

373
00:23:58,559 --> 00:23:59,519
don't come out.

374
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:00,759
Stay hidden here.

375
00:24:01,279 --> 00:24:02,480
Sen will come find you.

376
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:10,279
Do you trust me?

377
00:24:11,759 --> 00:24:13,440
Bring her with us.

378
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:15,839
Mr. Zhao!

379
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,200
You're pretty handy with that dagger.

380
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:27,400
Much better than throwing cups.

381
00:24:28,599 --> 00:24:29,400
Thanks.

382
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,440
Now find somewhere safe and stay hidden.

383
00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:16,640
This is

384
00:25:17,319 --> 00:25:19,440
between you and me.

385
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,960
No one else is involved.

386
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,680
If I die here today,

387
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,799
then so be it.

388
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,640
But you leave that lady out of this.

389
00:26:13,559 --> 00:26:14,400
Guys!

390
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:15,920
Boss says,

391
00:26:16,759 --> 00:26:17,960
dead or alive,

392
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,880
we get paid when we bring him in!

393
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:22,720
Please!

394
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,119
I beg you! Spare his life!

395
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:26,559
Move!

396
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:27,960
Let him go!

397
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:28,480
Get over here!

398
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,559
I'm begging you!

399
00:26:32,599 --> 00:26:34,000
Don't kill him!

400
00:26:58,759 --> 00:26:59,440
Mr. Zhao.

401
00:27:00,039 --> 00:27:01,279
I was going to stay out of this,

402
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,279
but...

403
00:27:02,759 --> 00:27:03,880
they were getting on my nerves.

404
00:27:05,279 --> 00:27:06,319
What do we do with them?

405
00:27:06,839 --> 00:27:07,920
They seem like decent people.

406
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,319
We were just out on the road

407
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:13,599
when some enemies came after us.

408
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,079
We're not hardened criminals.

409
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,359
These two stood by each other.

410
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,359
They're nothing like those thugs.

411
00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:21,759
Let's

412
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,160
leave it at that.

413
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,519
Thank you, sir.

414
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:27,920
Thank you.

415
00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:29,759
Thank you so much.

416
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,319
(Lapis lazuli of this quality)

417
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,119
(is reserved for the imperial family.)

418
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,799
I know who His Majesty sent
as Imperial Envoy.

419
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,200
In this entire realm,

420
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,359
aside from His Majesty,

421
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,480
no one outranks him.

422
00:27:50,599 --> 00:27:51,720
Everyone in this world

423
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,160
is looking for a way up.

424
00:28:03,599 --> 00:28:04,039
Sir,

425
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:05,440
there's already been fighting here.

426
00:28:05,559 --> 00:28:06,400
It's no longer safe.

427
00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:08,319
We should get to Linchun Town
as soon as possible.

428
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:16,240
Sir!

429
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:17,559
Sir, please!

430
00:28:18,039 --> 00:28:19,640
My fiance is too badly hurt to travel.

431
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,480
We're in the middle of nowhere,

432
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,799
with no healer
or herbalist's shop nearby.

433
00:28:24,319 --> 00:28:25,359
I know I'm asking too much,

434
00:28:25,559 --> 00:28:26,839
but please see us through to the end.

435
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,240
Could you take the two of us with you?

436
00:28:31,559 --> 00:28:32,759
Your Highness, our movements
must remain secret.

437
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:33,960
No one can know where you're going.

438
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,319
Then to make sure they don't talk,

439
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,799
we might as well bring them with us.

440
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,680
Better to keep them
where we can see them.

441
00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:49,400
Get up.

442
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:54,759
Come take a look!

443
00:28:54,759 --> 00:28:56,400
(Linchun Town)

444
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,960
(Wayfarers' Guidepost)

445
00:29:00,279 --> 00:29:02,440
Food, supplies, wine...

446
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,079
everything they need

447
00:29:04,279 --> 00:29:05,599
must be provided according to protocol.

448
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:09,440
Madam,

449
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,440
still worried about what gift to give?

450
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:16,759
His Highness is here
to investigate a case,

451
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,440
and he's known for living simply.

452
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,519
Anything too expensive
would be inappropriate,

453
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,720
but we can't show up empty-handed either

454
00:29:24,559 --> 00:29:27,160
and waste our chance
to make the right connection.

455
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,440
It's a difficult gift to choose.

456
00:29:32,359 --> 00:29:33,079
Madam,

457
00:29:34,279 --> 00:29:35,200
I may have

458
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,480
just the thing.

459
00:29:38,039 --> 00:29:38,599
Go on.

460
00:29:39,039 --> 00:29:41,880
There's that treasured manuscript
in Master Fan Kun's collection,

461
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,119
a rare edition from the previous dynasty

462
00:29:45,119 --> 00:29:46,920
of the Collected Commentaries
on the Four Books.

463
00:29:47,799 --> 00:29:49,720
Among scholars and nobles
in the capital,

464
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,160
it's highly sought after.

465
00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:53,119
A work like that

466
00:29:54,119 --> 00:29:55,160
isn't ostentatiously expensive,

467
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,039
yet money can hardly buy one.

468
00:29:59,359 --> 00:30:00,880
That would be perfect.

469
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:03,480
It is part of your dowry,

470
00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:05,039
so the Yu family
have no right to ask for it.

471
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:06,720
But

472
00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:08,920
I can't think of anything more suitable

473
00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:11,240
as a gift for His Highness.

474
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:12,839
Would you be willing

475
00:30:12,839 --> 00:30:14,000
to give it to the Yu family

476
00:30:14,279 --> 00:30:15,720
and do me this favor?

477
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,599
We're family now.

478
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,559
I was wrong before.

479
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,079
When two people marry,

480
00:30:26,519 --> 00:30:28,559
what matters most
is that they truly want each other.

481
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,920
I'll treat you well from now on.

482
00:30:33,119 --> 00:30:34,119
Thank you, Madam.

483
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:35,720
I

484
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,079
won't let you down.

485

(Collected Commentaries
on the Four Books: The Analects)

486
00:30:39,079 --> 00:30:40,559
With Young Master's affection

487
00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:41,720
and Madam's approval,

488
00:30:41,799 --> 00:30:43,200
you won't have to worry

489
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:44,640
about finding your place
in the Yu family.

490
00:30:46,799 --> 00:30:48,240
(Commentaries on the Four Books)
Being the Yu family's eldest young madam

491
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,559
will carry far more weight
than being some young lady.

492
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:57,079
Young Master.

493
00:30:58,079 --> 00:30:58,839
(Commentaries on the Four Books)
I heard

494
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:00,960
you're presenting
His Highness with a rare edition

495
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,119
of the Collected Commentaries
on the Four Books.

496
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,039
Your father devoted
years of his life to it.

497
00:31:05,279 --> 00:31:06,440
Others may not understand its value

498
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:07,480
and see nothing but an old book.

499
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,839
But you know. How can you give it away?

500
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:13,480
(Commentaries on the Four Books)
Of course I know

501
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:14,880
it's my father's life's work.

502
00:31:16,039 --> 00:31:17,319
But your mother asked for it.

503
00:31:18,279 --> 00:31:19,359
If I refuse,

504
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,599
I'll only put you in the middle.

505
00:31:23,839 --> 00:31:24,960
I don't want this book

506
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,200
used to curry favor.

507
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,079
And I certainly don't want my career

508
00:31:28,079 --> 00:31:29,839
bought with my wife's dowry.

509
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:40,039
You...

510
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,160
What are you doing?

511
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:48,400
Don't worry.

512
00:31:49,839 --> 00:31:51,039
I only got one volume wet.

513
00:31:51,799 --> 00:31:53,000
We can dry it in the sun

514
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:54,000
and touch up the damaged text.

515
00:31:54,839 --> 00:31:56,240
It'll still be perfectly fit
for the collection.

516
00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:01,759
You fool.

517
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:03,799
I'd rather destroy it

518
00:32:05,359 --> 00:32:07,440
than see it used to curry favor

519
00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:09,839
and put you in a difficult position.

520
00:32:18,599 --> 00:32:20,440
Looks like I've found a wife
who truly understands me.

521
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:23,839
My very own kindred spirit.

522
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:35,480
(Collected Commentaries
on the Four Books: The Analects)

523
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,279
What a shame
about your father's collection.

524
00:32:38,519 --> 00:32:39,759
What are we going to tell

525
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,039
Madam Yu?

526
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,559
As long as this keeps

527
00:32:44,119 --> 00:32:45,359
Jingxiu's heart

528
00:32:45,839 --> 00:32:47,039
firmly in my hands,

529
00:32:47,599 --> 00:32:49,319
no one will ever push me around again.

530
00:32:55,759 --> 00:32:56,759
What happened?

531
00:32:58,519 --> 00:32:59,799
I failed to take proper care of it.

532
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,839
I only discovered it yesterday
while checking the storeroom.

533
00:33:03,119 --> 00:33:04,759
(Commentaries on the Four Books)
The manuscript was soaked by the rain.

534
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:06,000
I'm afraid

535
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,680
we can no longer present it
to His Highness.

536
00:33:14,759 --> 00:33:15,720
Then forget it.

537
00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:18,559
I'll find something else.

538
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:21,640
Take it back.

539
00:33:23,599 --> 00:33:24,319
Yes, Madam.

540
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:36,920
She doesn't have

541
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,599
the family background

542
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,839
to elevate the Yu family,

543
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:42,519
nor the wit and skill

544
00:33:42,519 --> 00:33:44,279
to stand by my son

545
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:45,720
and help him navigate the world.

546
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,000
If she's no use to this family,

547
00:33:48,359 --> 00:33:50,920
why should she get
to be its eldest young madam?

548
00:33:53,319 --> 00:33:56,200
Good thing you had a backup plan, Madam.

549
00:33:56,519 --> 00:33:58,640
Imagine meeting His Highness
empty-handed.

550
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,599
An opportunity like this
could've turned into a disaster.

551
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:04,920
The Crown Prince.

552
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,559
One man who could change
Jingxiu's entire future.

553
00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:11,760
If this were the Ninth Young Lady,

554
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,880
she'd have thought of a dozen ways
by now

555
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,679
to get His Highness on Jingxiu's side.

556
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:21,320
His fever's broken.

557
00:34:21,639 --> 00:34:23,159
No need to worry too much, Miss Xie.

558
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,159
Put this salve on the wound,

559
00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:26,840
let him rest for a few days,

560
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:28,039
and he'll be fine.

561
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:29,320
Thank you, sir.

562
00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:31,079
Funny coincidence.

563
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,760
You're headed to Linchun Town too.

564
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,519
It's still a long way from here.

565
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:36,800
You should

566
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:38,239
eat something before we go.

567
00:34:42,599 --> 00:34:43,519
Take care, sir.

568
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:51,840
Easy.

569
00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:55,760
Who said we're going to Linchun Town?

570
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,760
You could've told me you were awake.

571
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,119
How's the wound?

572
00:35:05,039 --> 00:35:06,800
I'd heal with or without that salve.

573
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:10,119
You, on the other hand...

574
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:12,880
stay away from those people.

575
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,039
Why are you so interested in them?

576
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,320
You might as well tell me the truth.

577
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:27,079
Otherwise,

578
00:35:28,159 --> 00:35:29,519
your dear fiance here

579
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,000
might say the wrong thing

580
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:33,320
and blow your whole story.

581
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:34,559
Then we'd both be in trouble.

582
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,039
Back in Huaying,

583
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,679
Madam Yu told me

584
00:35:48,559 --> 00:35:50,400
an Imperial Envoy was coming
to investigate the salt trade.

585
00:35:51,519 --> 00:35:53,119
Now that we've crossed paths with him,

586
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,079
if I can make it to Linchun Town
with his party

587
00:35:55,559 --> 00:35:56,440
and somehow

588
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:57,920
help him

589
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,800
with the salt case he's investigating,

590
00:36:00,679 --> 00:36:02,000
maybe he'll be willing

591
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:02,840
to clear my name in return.

592
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,000
You?

593
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,400
Miss Xie?

594
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,480
What difference does it make

595
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:11,880
whether I'm a Xie or a Fu?

596
00:36:13,119 --> 00:36:14,239
You're no longer

597
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:15,559
a young lady of the Fu family.

598
00:36:16,039 --> 00:36:18,159
That means no family name,
no money, no connections.

599
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,000
You have no standing,

600
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:22,599
and no one to vouch for you.

601
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:26,760
Why would anyone believe a word you say?

602
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:31,320
You're right.

603
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,639
Everything I had before

604
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,360
was handed to me.

605
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,280
So if it's gone,

606
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:42,679
so be it.

607
00:36:43,599 --> 00:36:45,280
But if I can prove myself

608
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,440
by helping the Envoy
crack this salt case,

609
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:48,519
maybe

610
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,000
I can earn something

611
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,280
that comes from the court itself.

612
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,320
Then I can turn "Miss Xie"

613
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:55,559
into a name

614
00:36:55,639 --> 00:36:57,679
that's more than "Ninth Young Lady Fu"
ever was.

615
00:36:58,039 --> 00:36:58,800
Just like you,

616
00:36:59,679 --> 00:37:00,480
Mr. Zhao.

617
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,079
You found that token

618
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,000
and became Jiuweijiao.

619
00:37:04,599 --> 00:37:05,559
It brought danger,

620
00:37:06,519 --> 00:37:07,559
but it also gave you a chance.

621
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,280
That Imperial Envoy

622
00:37:10,599 --> 00:37:12,079
is my token.

623
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:15,159
You want my help?

624
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,199
What's in it for me?

625
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:23,840
If this works,

626
00:37:25,039 --> 00:37:26,320
you'll get your share of the credit.

627
00:37:27,639 --> 00:37:29,280
You and Sen could go legit,

628
00:37:29,519 --> 00:37:30,639
start over with a clean name.

629
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,159
No more enemies hunting you down,

630
00:37:34,519 --> 00:37:35,840
no more living

631
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,320
with a knife at your throat every day.

632
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:42,639
Go legit?

633
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,039
That's a pretty big commitment.

634
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,239
Like buying a courtesan
out of a pleasure house.

635
00:37:51,079 --> 00:37:52,760
Got my whole future planned out already?

636
00:38:20,639 --> 00:38:21,320
Zhao,

637
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:22,559
what's wrong?

638
00:38:23,199 --> 00:38:24,679
I don't know.

639
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,440
Ever since I woke up this morning,

640
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:29,519
I've felt like

641
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,159
my chest and back

642
00:38:31,559 --> 00:38:32,880
are burning up from the inside.

643
00:38:33,199 --> 00:38:34,480
You have an open wound.

644
00:38:34,599 --> 00:38:36,400
A fever isn't unusual.

645
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,480
I'm so thirsty.

646
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,480
But I can't stop shivering.

647
00:38:41,199 --> 00:38:42,320
My chest feels tight,

648
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,159
and I'm losing my voice.

649
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:45,800
What's happening to me?

650
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:46,800
Sit up. Let me take a look.

651
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:47,599
Easy.

652
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,039
What is it?

653
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:00,559
I'm fine.

654
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:02,159
I'm fine.

655
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:03,800
I'm just gonna lie back down.

656
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,320
You think he's got the plague?

657
00:39:13,639 --> 00:39:14,440
Looks like it.

658
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:16,639
Let's go.

659
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:17,360
Let's get out of here.

660
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,120
(Next Episode)

661
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:27,480
Mr. Zhao.

662
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:28,840
That's the man

663
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,519
we fought at the salt shop.

664
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,320
The second he saw me,

665
00:39:35,159 --> 00:39:36,760
he came straight for this token.

666
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,840
I came across a piece of evidence
on the road.

667
00:39:40,199 --> 00:39:41,079
I thought

668
00:39:41,159 --> 00:39:42,440
you might find it interesting.

669
00:39:43,599 --> 00:39:45,199
Something this important...

670
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:47,840
Where did you get it?

671
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:49,320
It belongs

672
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:51,920
to the biggest salt smuggler
in the northwest,

673
00:39:53,039 --> 00:39:54,480
Jiuweijiao.

674
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:56,880
Give me the token and the man,

675
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:58,079
and I'll walk away right now.

676
00:39:58,360 --> 00:39:59,559
And if I say no?

677
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:01,320
Then I guess

678
00:40:03,519 --> 00:40:05,199
we do this the hard way.
