[Episode 2]

17

These people are here to take me to the capital?

18

Who told them to come?

19

Naturally, it was your father.

20

I already rejected them.

21

The capital isn't a good place.

22

Your mother died in the capital.

23

You will live longer if you stay here.

24

But they're still kneeling outside.

25

Let them kneel.

26

Once they kneel to death, clean up their bodies.

27

Uncle, should I go to the capital?

28

I remember Young Miss once did business in the capital.

29

What else?

30

I don't remember clearly anymore.

31

So you mean I should go?

32

You should decide for yourself.

33

My mother died in the capital. Are her killers still there?

34

I don't know.

35

I want to go to the capital.

36

But what if there's danger?

37

It's up to you.

38

What are you looking at?

39

I've been thinking about a question.

40

Once I become old,

41

are you still not going to age?

42

Grandmother.

43

Old Madam.

44

Those soldiers wouldn't even eat our food.

45

If we treat them this poorly, I'm afraid it'll look bad.

46

- Old Madam, I–

- Eat.

47

I like this one.

48

How fresh! Where is it from?

49

He's asking a question.

50

Old Ha's nephew sent it over here this morning.

51

Doesn't Old Ha usually bring it?

52

Why was it his nephew?

53

Old Ha is sick, so his nephew brought it over. Is something wrong?

54

Has his nephew been here before?

55

It should be the first time.

56

What is it?

57

Nothing.

58

Grandmother, I'm full. I'll take my leave.

59

Old Madam, I'm not trying to be nosy.

60

One plate of bamboo shoots is nothing.

61

But it's too arrogant in this manner.

62

I'm also making this comment from how I personally feel.

63

Young Master!

64

- Did you eat bamboo shoots?

- I did!

65

I–! Young Master!

66

Young Master, I don't know what happened, everyone is suddenly throwing up!

67

Come with me!

68

Take this!

69

Let them drink more cow's milk.

70

They'll be fine once they throw up! Come, come, come.

71

Where are those people wearing red clothes?

72

They asked where Old Ha lives, then left!

73

Come, come, come! Go, go!

74

Drink more cow's milk!

75

Everyone, drink some.

76

This, this, this!

77

Hold up!

78

What are you going to do?

79

Someone stole poison. They must be killed!

80

Old Ha sent food over to the manor for many years. He was probably made a hostage.

81

If you rush in there, he'll die!

82

Move aside!

83

- I am Fan Xian!

- Move aside!

84

What if it's a diversion tactic?

85

Leave this place to me.

86

Let me borrow a sword.

87

Old Ha!

88

Did you put the poison in the bamboo shoots?

89

[Teng Zijing: Member of the Fourth Division; Inspection and Control Bureau of Southern Qing]

90

Damn, Doraemon?

91

You've lost.

92

You put poison on your knife?

93

Let me ask you something before you die.

94

Why didn't you let those soldiers in?

95

For a person who delivers food,

96

you would put your life in danger?

97

You lost your life for nothing!

98

What a coincidence!

99

There was also poison on my sword!

100

You're okay?

101

Let me tell you. I've been consuming poison since I was a child.

102

Regular poison won't do anything against me.

103

Did you put poison in the food?

104

Why didn't you use arsenic?

105

I only need to kill you.

106

Then, why do you want to kill me?

107

The Control Bureau's secret order! Kill the country's criminal!

108

You're from the Control Bureau?

109

If you kill me, someone else will come.

110

If the Control Bureau wants to kill someone, they won't let him–!

111

Waist badge from Control Bureau? Where did you get this from?

112

One of the Control Bureau's master of poisons, Fei Jie, is my teacher.

113

You don't believe me? My mother died early.

114

I have no status in the Fan household. I grew up in Danzhou.

115

My father never came to see me even once.

116

I'll say, I'm just an illegitimate son.

117

What right do I have to become the country's criminal?

118

Because I'm handsome?

119

You're an illegitimate son?

120

So, look. There must be something wrong with the Control Bureau's secret order.

121

We can talk properly. What do you think?

122

Also, let me ask you something.

123

Fan Manor has tight security. This is your first time here.

124

How did you manage to impersonate Old Ha's nephew?

125

Who's protecting you?

126

You were the one who worked with the killer to poison the food? [House Manager Zhou: Danzhou's Fan Family House Manager]

127

But looking at things, Grandmother probably knows.

128

[Old Madam Fan: Mother of Southern Qing's Earl of Sinan, Fan Jian]

129

Old Madam! All I did was for the Fan family!

130

Don't rush. Talk slowly.

131

Xian'er, kneel down and listen.

132

I was sent by the second madam.

133

She wanted me to watch Fan Xian.

134

If this brat reaches the capital, he'll definitely fight for the inheritance!

135

Rather than letting him mess up the household, why not keep him from reaching the capital instead?

136

Besides, the Control Bureau wants to kill him this time.

137

I only assisted them!

138

That's true.

139

For the Fan family, you cannot be softhearted.

140

Xian'er, you must remember this principle.

141

Now that you've grown up, you must learn to be cruel!

142

I understand.

143

Men!

144

Old Madam.

145

Break his legs and throw him onto a fishing ship.

146

He doesn't need to reach shore ever again!

147

Yes.

148

No! No! No!

149

No! No! No!

150

Old Madam! Haven't you always disliked Fan Xian?

151

This was all fake!

152

Fake!

153

He received a letter from Liu Ruyu

154

to cooperate with others to kill you.

155

What do you think?

156

Second Mother always sends me gifts during the holidays.

157

She treats me pretty well. I remember that.

158

That's true. One letter cannot determine guilt.

159

I will have your father investigate this carefully.

160

We must have a result.

161

Grandmother, how about I go investigate it myself?

162

You want to go to the capital?

163

Didn't we agree you'd stay here?

164

I will talk to your father.

165

Grandmother, look, I'm already such a grown man now.

166

I have to see the world!

167

Since there was a first killer, there will be a second.

168

I've already been hidden for so long, but they still won't let go of me.

169

Why don't I go up there myself?

170

You've made up your mind.

171

I'll come back once it's all settled.

172

What if it's really Liu Ruyu?

173

Then I'll tell Second Mother I have no intention of fighting for the inheritance.

174

I was just telling you to learn to be cruel.

175

You must be careful.

176

Don't worry! I'm a ghost.

177

When are you heading out?

178

Tomorrow.

179

Then... Then I won't see you off tomorrow.

180

I'm getting old. I can't see separation.

181

Go back and get ready.

182

The Old Madam certainly is cruel.

183

He can't ever return to shore.

184

I heard your relationship with the Old Madam has never been good.

185

Killers have been after me since childhood. I was always afraid of dragging down my family members.

186

So you were making the Old Madam to be cold to you, but you were actually protecting her?

187

I have to leave now.

188

There's no need to pretend anymore.

189

Thank you for helping me this time.

190

You don't need to thank me. The Control Bureau has already sent a notice over.

191

They said the order to kill you was fake.

192

Someone wants to borrow the Control Bureau's hand to get rid of you.

193

Who?

194

Still investigating.

195

Once I get to the capital, I will definitely find the answer.

196

Fan Xian, do me a favor.

197

Speak.

198

Please kill me.

199

What did you say?

200

Please kill me!

201

What's your name?

202

Teng Zijing from the Control Bureau.

203

Boss, I'm buying a pair of scissors.

204

I'm putting the money here.

205

I'm taking the scissors!

206

He took away quite a lot!

207

I know.

208

It doesn't matter if this shop makes money or not.

209

You stayed in Danzhou to protect me.

210

Yes.

211

Uncle, I'm going to the capital.

212

Okay.

213

I didn't tell you about the assassination attempt.

214

Do you know why I kept it from you?

215

I don't know.

216

Because I want to tell you, that even without you helping me,

217

I can still live well in this world.

218

I've already grown up.

219

Good.

220

For as long as I can remember, you've always watched over me.

221

As long as you are here, I'm not afraid of anything.

222

But this isn't right.

223

What isn't right?

224

The chef, Old Liu, likes fishing.

225

Xiao Ma who watches the front door likes watching girls.

226

Everyone has their own hobbies.

227

What about you? What do you like?

228

Nothing.

229

Is there someone you like?

230

Something you want to do? A life plan?

231

Sometimes I think you live only for me.

232

This isn't fair to you.

233

You don't need me?

234

I will always need you.

235

But, Uncle, to me, you're not just a guardian.

236

You are also my most important family member.

237

So I hope you can find something you want to do.

238

Do you understand what I'm saying?

239

I don't really understand.

240

Uncle, I'm going to the capital tomorrow.

241

I will go find the one who wants to kill me and search for my mother's story.

242

I will live better than anyone else.

243

Because this is what I've wanted to do.

244

That's very good.

245

I hope you can also find what you want to do and live for yourself.

246

Find what I want to do.

247

Live for myself.

248

Find what I want to do.

249

Live for myself.

250

Uncle Wu, can you stop just appearing like that?

251

I remember.

252

What do you remember?

253

What you said this afternoon, Young Miss also once said it.

254

She wanted me to find what I liked to do.

255

Then, did you find it?

256

I want to open it.

257

Young Miss left this behind.

258

My mother? What's inside?

259

I don't know.

260

You never opened it?

261

- Young Miss didn't say I could.

- Then, what about now?

262

I thought about it for a long time.

263

In this world, the thing I want to do most

264

is to open this case.

265

I want to see what Young Miss left behind.

266

You two must have gone through a lot in the past.

267

I forget.

268

Come, let's open it.

269

I don't have a key.

270

Wait a moment.

271

Wait a moment. I'll use a different knife.

272

This is too durable!

273

What is this case made of?

274

I don't know.

275

What sort of skin is this strong?

276

Where did my mother get it from?

277

I forget.

278

Where is the key?

279

The capital. So, I will go there, too.

280

Let's go tomorrow together.

281

I will head out first. Let's meet up in the capital.

282

What about this case?

283

I'll leave it with you.

284

What is this made of?

285

- Girl.

- Old Madam.

286

Did Young Master leave already?

287

Why don't we go take a look?

288

There's no need.

289

Yes.

290

This child has big ideas.

291

He has to leave eventually.

292

Young Master.

293

I already said I wouldn't send you off.

294

This... This looks ridiculous!

295

Take care of yourself. Once I get matters straight,

296

I'll come get you.

297

Young Master, the water is boiling. You'll have to wait a bit for food.

298

That's fine. Get to work. I'm going to get some exercise.

299

Yes.

300

Young Master.

301

Young Master.

302

Young Master.

303

- Teng--!

- Young Master, what hurts?

304

It's fine!

305

No! What are you doing here?

306

I want to return to the capital, too.

307

Didn't you tell me to spread the news that you were dead?

308

Yes. On the surface, you did kill me.

309

I can't move about openly.

310

So, I won't be searched if I follow your caravan.

311

My soldiers know you?

312

They don't! But they know money.

313

Why are you going to the capital?

314

It has nothing to do with you.

315

I don't have to ask.

316

This time in the capital, I will find out who wants to kill me.

317

Wasn't it Liu Ruyu, your second mother?

318

I want to know what skills she used to confuse the Control Bureau.

319

I don't know about that.

320

You can help me investigate.

321

Let's work together in the capital. Your dead identity is the most useful.

322

Why should I help you?

323

You don't want to know who tricked you?

324

I don't.

325

You're the one asking for help to get into the capital!

326

Fine. Let me think about it once we reach the capital.

327

Come back here!

328

I feel your attitude is too perfunctory.

329

You have to prepare for a wedding once you get to the capital.

330

You have no time to investigate these things.

331

What wedding?

332

Aren't you getting married in the capital? No one told you?

333

No one! How do you know?

334

After I got the order to kill you,

335

I did some investigation to get to know you better.

336

- No, then who am I--?

- I don't know.

337

My order was to kill you, not your entire family.

338

Why would I need to know that much?

339

This. Your wedding gift.

340

I wish that you have a long marriage and have lots of children.

341

I'm going to start the fire.

342

What are you doing?

343

The merchant caravan in front of us is from the Control Bureau.

344

[Fei Jie: Head of Third Division; Inspection and Control Bureau of Southern Qing]

345

Fortunately, I have sharp eyes. The merchant caravan was from the Fourth Bureau.

346

Also, your teacher is so formidable and he's traveling with the caravan to protect it.

347

Something big must have happened.

348

Stop the carriage!

349

What are you doing?

350

Master Fei, we've done an investigation. This inn is clean.

351

Okay, stay here to rest.

352

Yes.

353

I'm taking a walk around to see if anything is amiss.

354

Okay.

355

I knew you'd follow me!

356

Where did you get this?

357

There's a fruit orchard nearby.

358

Where are you going?

359

- Northern Qi.

- Northern Qi?

360

Aren't we always fighting with them?

361

A war will break out soon.

362

The Control Bureau established a spy network in Northern Qi a long time ago.

363

Their achievement isn't great. They don't have a leader.

364

They're having you go over there?

365

Me? I'm good at poisons.

366

I'm sending someone there.

367

- The person in the carriage?

- Yes.

368

Yan Ruohai's son, Yan Bingyun. He's young and talented.

369

They could bear to send someone like that to an enemy country?

370

It's all for you.

371

Because of me?

372

You killed Teng Zijing who's a spy from the Fourth Division of the Control Bureau.

373

The people from the Fourth Division went against their own subordinates.

374

Yan Ruohai must take responsibility for that.

375

Teng Zijing is Yan Bingyun's subordinate.

376

The Control Bureau Head fired him out of anger.

377

He was ordered to take his subordinates and pretend to be merchants

378

and go to Northern Qi to take over the spy network.

379

It's a major issue. Even if it's considered seeing him off, it's also considered as protecting the carriage.

380

I killed someone from our side. Am I going to be punished?

381

Teng Zijing is not from a direct descendant of the Control Bureau.

382

He had only joined for a few years. It's fine if he's killed.

383

Count yourself lucky this time.

384

Why?

385

Fourth Division is responsible for secret investigations. Sixth Division is responsible for assassinations.

386

The arms of the other parties are not that long. The fake order didn't reach the Sixth Division.

387

That's how the spy of the Fourth Division could take action.

388

If people from the Sixth Division really set out, it would be a great problem.

389

So there was so much going on behind this?

390

All right, just accompany me to here.

391

Let me tell you.

392

No matter what happens, wait for me to come back.

393

Also, when you next pass by pears,

394

choose those which are plump and juicy.

395

Only those are sweet.

396

Fan Xian.

397

Yan Bingyun?

398

Are you blocking me to get revenge for Teng Zijing?

399

Teng Zijing didn't deserve to die.

400

I already killed him. What do you want?

401

Hand over the Control Bureau waist badge to me.

402

You intend to forcibly snatch it from me?

403

Give it to me.

404

- Come on.

- Yan Bingyun.

405

Remember the order I gave you.

406

Before we reach Northern Qi,

407

you cannot leave this horse carriage.

408

Fan Xian is cruel, violent, and stubborn.

409

By leaving this waist badge to him, it's not advantageous to the Control Bureau and Qing State.

410

If you can get off this horse carriage,

411

Northern Qi's spy plan will be destroyed.

412

When that happens, the one who is harming the Qin Empire

413

is you, Yan Bingyun!

414

Even if I don't get off the carriage, I can still take his token!

415

Whoever makes a move, won't breathe beyond three breaths.

416

Go back.

417

That's more like it.

418

Go back and rest. We have to continue our journey tomorrow.

419

Fan Xian! We will meet again!

420

He won't be coming back for a while.

421

[Jingdu]

422

Wait.

423

Young Master Fan.

424

You traveled all the way from Danzhou to the capital.

425

You've worked hard.

426

Do I know you?

427

I have long respected and admired you. I hated myself for not having met you.

428

It is my great fortune to meet you today!

429

Fine. Let's find a day to talk.

430

I'm still busy and have to return to the manor today. I'll be leaving first.

431

Wait!

432

- You want to search me?

- I don't dare.

433

I have something I'd like you to see.

434

This map has full details of the beautiful scenery of Jingdu.

435

This is your first time in the capital. Perhaps you'll find it helpful.

436

[Detailed Map of Beautiful Scenery of Jingdu]

437

Thanks.

438

It's two coins.

439

Two coins?!

440

This map was written on top quality paper,

441

using a top-quality brush pen. I have devoted a lot of blood, sweat, and tears,

442

checked back and forth, and drew it myself.

443

Moreover, this is the last map.

444

Two coins...

445

aren't even enough for me to drink some tea!

446

Two coins, here.

447

Let's go.

448

This is even more than two coins!

449

Everyone, I'll take my leave.

450

Old Wang! How many of those dumb maps did you sell?

451

All the rich young masters in the city have bought one.

452

You're not afraid of being beaten?

453

For those rich young masters, two coins are nothing!

454

Besides, in the capital, there are lots of crafty people!

455

I'm helping them to mature from experience.

456

I admit this.

457

[Royal Palace]

458

You're not going to rip it up?

459

It's worth two coins.

460

If you follow this path, you'll get to Fan Manor.

461

Let's separate here.

462

You want to leave?

463

I said it before. Once we get to the capital, I have my own things to do.

464

Thank you for taking me into the capital. We won't need to meet again.

465

You can come to find me if you have any problems. Perhaps I can help you!

466

You probably can't even save yourself.

467

If Liu Ruyu really wants to kill you,

468

you won't find it easy to enter Fan Manor's main entrance.

469

Please don't die. I won't get revenge for you if you do.

470

Thanks for your good wishes!

471

Let's see how you intend to kill me!

472

Once they pass the red flag, we will pounce on these two carriages. Understand?

473

Yes!

474

The soldiers have something else to do. I'll escort you back to Fan Manor.

475

Someone just told me that we'd reach Fan Manor if we go straight.

476

Why are we making a detour?

477

A horse carriage is overturned ahead. We have to go around it to return to Fan Manor.

What a coincidence.

479

Young Master, I have to use the restroom. Please wait a moment.

480

[Temple of Qing]

481

What sort of temple is this?

482

Leave!

483

[Temple of Qing]

484

You are young and tyrannical.

485

Whose sect are you from?

486

You don't know who I am?

487

Who cares? An important guest is inside the temple.

488

No one can step inside the temple.

489

So he wasn't waiting for me?

490

There is a message from the person inside.

491

People from Qing State can offer sacrifices at the temple. You can,

492

but you can only enter the side temple, not the main temple.

493

What if I don't go inside?

494

Then leave. What is there to say?

495

What is being worshiped inside?

496

Offering sacrifices to Heaven is the basis of this Temple of God.

497

How could you not know?

498

Temple of God?

499

When Heaven and Earth separated, beasts were running rampant.

500

The god from this temple came to Earth,

501

teaching humans written characters and moral values, helping them shape the mountain and the sea,

502

building up a foundation for mankind.

503

Haven't your masters taught you?

504

A legend?

505

You really don't know who I am?

♫ Life goes round and round ♫

508

♫ In the long river of time ♫

509

♫ Layers of memories, of many lives over ♫

510

♫ Get stacked up ♫

511

♫ In an intoxicating river of stars ♫

512

♫ Before you know it, spring is over and it's almost fall again ♫

513

♫ The swallows are gone to their wintering grounds ♫

514

♫ Who can give up the chance ♫

515

♫ To spend this life with you? ♫

516

♫ You have been walking around in your dream for so long ♫

517

♫ The flowers fall from the boughs quietly ♫

518

♫ Year in and year out, we are on the road ♫

519

♫ Counting the remaining days of the year ♫

520

♫ Even if we will never meet again ♫

521

♫ Even if the bond is broken ♫

522

♫ No complaints ♫

523

♫ It's a cold world and I still think of you as I did before ♫

524

♫ The moon is sleepless ♫

525

♫ Leave a warm heart ♫

526

♫ To look after the rest of the year ♫

527

♫ Even if I have to cross a thousand mountains ♫

528

♫ Through the fire of war ♫

529

♫ You are always there for me ♫

530

♫ The flowers leave the boughs, quietly ♫

531

♫ Year in and year out, we are on the road counting the remaining days of the year ♫

532

♫ Even if we will never meet again ♫

533

♫ Even if the bond is broken ♫

534

♫ No complaints ♫

535

♫ It's a cold world and I think of you as I did before ♫

536

♫ The moon is sleepless ♫

537

♫ Leave a warm heart ♫

538

♫ To look after the rest of the year ♫

539

♫ Even if I have to cross a thousand mountains and through the fire of war ♫

540

♫ Even if I have to cross a thousand mountains and through the fire of war ♫

541

♫ You are always there for me ♫
