Episode 40

17

Actually it's also not hard to guess.

18

What he wants now is just Xiao En.

19

But Fan Xian does not know where Xiao En is being detained.

20

Do you know why I detained Xiao En?

21

I do not know.

22

It is for this moment.

23

Go, invite He Dao Ren and Lang Tao.

24

Yes.

25

Thank you, General. Riding on a horse and chatting with you was a great pleasure.

26

I'm leaving.

27

Pass down my orders, tomorrow arrange everything according to what Fan Xian said.

28

Fan Xian might not be sincerely helping us.

29

He is borrowing a knife to kill someone. Borrowing my knife and killing Shen Zhong.

30

Lord, you've seen through him?

31

We can't say that I've seen through him.

32

Either way, I definitely want to kill Shen Zhong.

33

Yes.

34

According to the plan, once we save Father, Fan Xian will personally assist.

35

After we save the Old Master, we can only escape towards Southern Qing.

36

At that time listen to my signal and kill Fan Xian.

37

Then how are we to enter Qing?

38

Who said we definitely have to go to Southern Qing?

39

After killing Fan Xian, we rush towards the border to settle the armies.

40

We start a fight?

41

Fan Xian's one loophole is that he thinks us heading to Southern Qing

42

is our only way to survive.

43

[Accounts Ledger]

44

Everything has been prepared, we take action tomorrow.

45

I went to see Shang Shan Hu. With Shen Zhong's intelligence, he would have guessed we want to save Xiao En.

46

You want to create a scene of two tigers fighting.

47

Out of these two, one must die.

48

Which one?

49

Actually both are the same. No matter who dies, it is a great thing for Qing.

50

Shen Zhong cannot die.

51

What?

52

Shen Zhong cannot die.

53

Why not?

54

He Daoren wants you to take over the Inside Treasury shop here in Shangjing, right?

55

That's right.

56

There is something wrong with this accounts book.

57

What is the problem?

58

The accounts for the Shangjing shop for the past years which was handed over to Jingdu,

59

Our Inspection and Control Bureau will see it.

60

But there is a big difference between what is written here.

61

So...

62

So the account books the bureau received are all fake.

63

Also from what is written here,

64

there is someone who hid the location of a big sum of money.

65

Smuggling?

66

Grand Princess's handwriting.

67

What's worse is that this amount of money

68

was sent into Qing through Shen Zhong's Jinyiwei.

69

Why would Shen Zhong help Li Yunrui?

70

Does he profit from this?

71

Shen Zhong is not someone who is greedy for money.

72

There is only one reason he would agree to the smuggling.

73

This amount of money would cause chaos in our court.

74

How much is it.

75

With what they accumulated this year, it is enough to keep a whole camp of soldiers alive.

76

Armour, weapons, food rations, horses.

77

And all of the best grade.

78

In this moment, it is enough to rebel.

79

I fear that among those involved in this,

80

not only Grand Princess is involved.

81

Grand Princess has always been on the side of the Crown Prince.

82

Could it be a plot by the Eastern Palace?

83

To get to the truth, we can only question Shen Zhong.

84

- Ask who?

- Shen Zhong

85

He will not talk.

86

Then think of a way.

87

Why dont you marry his sister.

88

In future you would be one family.

89

Whatever you ask, he will promise you.

90

Fan Xian, this is a matter of huge importance, you should not be joking!

91

You also know it's a joke?

92

Young Lord Yan, do you know what you just said?

93

Do you know how much effort I have put in

94

to plot and plan in every corner of Northern Qi,

95

to finally get the chance tomorrow to kill Shen Zhong?

96

And now you're telling me we cannot kill Shen Zhong?

97

You also want me to find out a secret from him?

98

Who do you think I am? You think I'm a god?

99

Try catching him alive and harshly force out a confession.

100

This is the northern capital!

101

You want me to capture Shen Zhong alive and force a confession out of him?

102

Yan Bingyun, I do not wish to die.

103

The Chief must have let He Daoren give you a prompt because he found a clue.

104

This is the task that has been given to us by the Chief!

105

Fine, then you get Chen Pingping to personally come here to investigate.

106

- Fan Xian, be mindful of your identity.

- What identity?

107

The Investigation Bureau’s Extraction Officer!

108

So what?

109

Both of us entered the Investigation and Control Bureau to carry out missions

110

all for the sake of Great Qing, regardless of our lives!

111

But what if I just want to live my life properly?

112

What I thought back then wasn't wrong indeed.

113

Someone like you is not worthy of being in the Investigation and Control Bureau.

114

The great plan has been set. Tomorrow we rescue Xiao En and take the chance to kill Shen Zhong.

115

This scene is like an arrow on a bow, we have to shoot it.

116

Your body has not recovered, don't leave the house in the next few days.

117

Be careful, don't destroy the yard.

118

Yes.

119

Lord.

120

Help me keep an eye on Yan Bingyun. I need to know his every move.

121

Lord.

122

Yes.

123

According to Fan Xian, this is the place.

124

Go to the highest part of the mountain and move according to plan.

125

Yes.

126

Reporting, someone has fought their way into the courtyard!

127

Set off!

128

Scatter and enter, we must quickly find Father!

129

Yes!

130

Lord Xiao, I am Tan Wu.

131

I'm obeying the General's orders to save you!

132

My Lord, we found him!

133

We got him.

134

Rush outside!

135

It's a trap! Go out the back!

136

Dismiss and go back now!

137

Both the front and back have been surrounded.

138

They have been long prepared.

139

Did Shen Zhong and Fan Xian join hands to set this up?

140

That's not important anymore.

141

Brothers!

142

Go and die in battle with me!

143

Grand General! You are a nine-level master!

144

If you go out alone, you might find a way to break out.

145

I'm not the type to escape alone!

146

If you don't leave, who will get revenge for us?

147

-Grand General!

-Shut up!

148

Grand General, please get vengeance for us!

149

Grand General, please get vengeance for us!

150

-Commander!

-How are things?

151

They're surrounded.

152

Come, let's go take a look.

153

Yes.

154

Stop!

155

Shen Zhong!

156

Where is Shangshan Hu?

157

Commander, when we surrounded them, these were the only people left.

158

If a nine-level master intended to escape, it'd be hard to capture him.

159

Tan...

160

Tan Wu! I've seen you before!

161

I kept Xiao En to wait for Shangshan Hu to save him.

162

I was getting nervous!

163

Shangshan Hu? What does this have to do with him,?

164

You still want to protect your master?

165

We acted on our own. It has nothing to do with others.

166

Whether you admit it or not isn't important.

167

You are Shangshan Hu's lieutenant. If you are captured, he can be incriminated.

168

In all my battles, no one has ever surrendered!

169

I know you want to die in battle. That's fine with me.

170

If I bring over your body, I can still incriminate Shangshan Hu!

171

Based on what are you going to do that?

172

Based on the fact that you are Tan Wu!

173

These are all faceless men. How are they going to incriminate me?

174

I will destroy your bodies! Even your tombstones won't have a name on them!

175

Rebellious in life, a lone soul in death.

176

It’s fitting. Lord Xiao is such a great hero,

177

how can he be captured and disgraced? He will die with us!

178

Move!

179

Protect My Lord!

180

Fan Xian plotted against me! Shen Zhong killed me!

181

Fan Xian plotted against me! Shen Zhong killed me!

182

Hurry! Hurry! Bring more water here!

183

Indeed, he is a Qi border guard.

184

What a shame.

185

The bodies are all burned. No one was saved.

186

Looking at his figure, it was Xiao En.

187

What about the leg injury?

188

The leg injury is correct as well.

189

A fresh wound?

190

Yes. It's the most recent wound.

191

Teeth?

192

3 missing in the correct positions.

193

Then it really is Xiao En.

194

My Lord. I find it a bit strange.

195

Xiao En died just like that?

196

It seems to be a bit...

197

I think he is Xiao En.

198

Yes. He is Xiao En.

199

What I'm curious about it,

200

where is Fan Xian?

201

You've come?

202

It's the last cart right?

203

It's the final cart.

204

Thirty one. Thirty two.

205

Thirty three.

206

Thirty four.

207

Thirty five. Thirty six.

208

Thirty six. Thirty seven. Thirty eight.

209

Thirty nine.

210

This...this...

211

Why is there an extra one?

212

They can also be counted as heroes. Bury them all.

213

Yes.

214

Let's go back to the city and visit the Grand General!

215

The path to the capital is sealed off.

216

There is heavy searching and surveillance, especially towards the Grand General's home.

217

Commander of the Jinyiwei,

218

Shen Zhong would like to see the Grand General!

219

Greetings, Grand General.

220

I've come to bother you because I have something to report.

221

Today, some criminals broke into the prison and took Xiao En away.

222

Thankfully, we caught up before they got too far.

223

Who were they?

224

I don't know.

225

These criminals blew themselves up.

226

It's hard to recognize them now.

227

This sort of matter...why are you telling me about it?

228

Because Xiao En also died in that fire.

229

He is your adoptive father. I should still tell you.

230

I got it.

231

The criminals today also used this long spear.

232

What did they look like?

233

They had masks on, I couldn't tell.

234

Grand General, do you know who else uses this type of spear?

235

I don't know.

236

It seems like there is the smell of blood on your spear.

237

So what?

238

I'm just saying.

239

A good spear!

240

That's right.

241

I forgot one thing.

242

As for Xiao En, the Empress Dowager

243

is still hesitant about whether he can be used in the future.

244

You know this too, Grand General.

245

I was very cruel to Xiao En.

246

If this sort of person is really used,

247

what should I do in the future?

248

What do you think?

249

Even you would be afraid?

250

I get scared easily.

251

Of course I would be frightened.

252

I thought about killing Xiao En.

253

But I don' t know what I would tell the Empress Dowager.

254

Now criminals have broken into the prison and then killed themselves.q

255

They got rid of my worries for me.

256

Then I should congratulate you, Lord Shen.

257

Grand General, did you know?

258

I asked Lang Tao and He Daoren to watch from the dark.

259

If someone really pulled tricks to fake a death,

260

those two nine-level masters would really remove my worries!

261

If someone escaped in the chaos,

262

I wonder if they would hide in your house!

263

If no one has come by now,

264

I believe his body and head are already in different places.

265

What a good spear!

266

If no one saved him,

267

I would really find it hard to kill him!

268

Grand General, who do you think

269

got Xiao En killed?

270

I won't bother you anymore.

271

I will take my leave.

272

Shangshan Hu has many battle merits and has a big reputation among the soldiers.

273

If he is spoiled in the future like this, he will become trouble for the Great Qi in the future!

274

If he killed me today, he would have been punished.

275

What a shame.

276

But if he really attacked, My Lord, you...

277

We, the secret police, control the guards and prisons,

278

capture thieves and bandits, know the streets and gutters. We arrest secretly but timely.

279

It's so-called ruthless, but we only wish to guard our Great Qi.

280

If him killing me today resulted in his capture,

281

then death is nothing!

282

What a shame.

283

What a shame!

284

He Daoren?

285

Shen Zhong made a good plan.

286

What are you waiting for?

287

You have grown old.

288

Time is the greatest murderer, isn't it?

289

Shen Zhong told you to come?

290

Yes.

291

Tell him you lost him. Give him to me.

292

I can't.

293

Then say he lost his balance and fell off a cliff to his death.

294

Don't worry. I won't let him appear again.

295

I'm not the only one who was tasked to kill him.

296

Lang Tao is over there.

297

Shen Zhong really values me!

298

Where is Ku He? Why hasn't he come?

299

[Hu Ke's head disciple, Lang Tao]

300

My teacher told me

301

that I cannot let you live on.

302

I can't disobey my teacher's order. I hope you will be understanding.

303

Ku He's disciples and grand disciples are just like him. You look kind and forgiving,

304

but inside, you are actually evil and cruel.

305

Go ahead and kill me. Why make it sound so difficult?

306

I want to save him.

307

I cannot help you. Shen Zhong is starting to suspect me.

308

You don't need to openly help. Just block him a bit.

309

That's a dead end. You won't be able to escape.

310

That's my own matter.

311

Be careful!

312

Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

313

I'm okay, I'm okay.

314

I just had a nightmare.

315

I was in a rush and offended Your Majesty. I am willing to be punished!

316

Is there news from the Northern Qi ambassadors?

317

Your Majesty,

318

Northern Qi's capital is thousands of miles away.

319

It takes a long time for news to travel.

320

There is no news at the moment.

321

Your Majesty. You have not been in the palace recently.

322

The Empress Dowager is a little rushed-

323

Okay, okay. Take your leave, take your leave.

324

Yes.

325

I don't know where they went. They probably got killed.

326

Who was the interferer?

327

I don't know.

328

If they're dead I want their bodies. Search the cliff bottom.

329

Fan Xian's border report was just collected.

330

After reaching Northern Qi, news was choppy

331

until he entered the capital. Then there was no more news.

332

Yan Bingyun was captured.

333

Shangjing's spy network went into hiding.

334

There is nothing that can be done.

335

Fei Jie has been investigating Fan Xian.

336

Don't let him see this information.

337

Don't worry. This is the only copy.

338

Fan Xian's situation is unclear.

339

You don't have any other helpers in Shangjing?

340

If I did, Yan Bingyun wouldn't have been captured.

341

Go look over there!

342

Yes!

343

Some of you go over to the forest!

344

-Yes!

-Yes!

345

Report! There is nothing over here!

346

How are Xiao En's wounds?

347

A stab to the chest is enough to kill him. Even a goddess can't save him.

348

No matter who tried to save him, it was all in vain.

349

Wait a bit longer.

350

If we can find a body,

351

we can answer to Commander Shen.

352

Report! There was nothing found!

353

Do your best to search!

354

Yes!

355

Is there any news from Fan Xian?

356

Nothing came up after he entered Shangjing.

357

-Is there any battle news?

-No.

358

Shadow.

359

Why?

360

Because you all are keeping secrets from me!

361

In all these years, no one has ever seen

362

what Shadow looks like.

363

It's you?

364

How is Shadow?

365

Asleep.

366

You saw his face?

367

I saw it.

368

Don't reveal his identity.

369

During the fight at the border,

370

Fan Xian ran into Haitang Duoduo,

371

as well as Yan Xiaoyi and Shang Shanhu.

372

Fan Xian's life is hanging on a thread!

373

Where are your black knights?

374

I told them to retreat.

375

You know that Fan Xian is surrounded by danger!

376

You want him to get killed?

377

He's still alive.

378

Chen Pingping.

379

I won't let you use Fan Xian as a pawn.

380

He's my only disciple.

381

Even if we become enemies, I want to keep him completely safe.

382

I have hidden Fan Xian's news.

383

You are the best at using poison,

384

but your power of observations and speech are not your strong points.

385

Someone is helping you.

386

This person is here, right?

387

He's already guessed.

388

Come and see him.

389

I knew it was you.

390

Until now,

391

the bureau hasn't found out yet. You are the only one capable of this.

392

You once said

393

that having Fan Xian be the ambassador was to earn merit.

394

I did say that.

395

You also promised to keep him safe!

396

I did promise that.

397

But you still took away the ambassador group's black nights

398

and made him face danger alone!

399

You want to get him killed?

400

He's alive.

401

You made him face multiple nine-level masters alone!

402

-Let him keep talking.

-I did that,

403

to draw out Xiao En's hidden secrets.

404

What does that have to do with Fan Xian?

405

He didn't say anything in all these years!

406

Would he tell Fan Xian?

407

I think he will.

408

Why?

409

I can tell you the reason.

410

But he won't listen.

411

Don't think I'll hesitate to attack you!

412

He has to see him.

413

See who?

414

Who ordered the black nights to be taken away?

415

Trust me this one time.

416

This matter...

417

I'll go with him. You cannot go.

418

What if I went?

419

I know you're not afraid of death.

420

But you can help Fan Xian if you stay alive.

421

I promise you.

422

If anything happens to Fan Xian,

423

I will go with you to Jingdu to create a scene.

424

I don't care who wants to harm Fan Xian.

425

If anything happens to him, I'll have the world die with him!

426

If in the past,

427

it was just He Daoren and Lang Tao,

428

how could they be my match?

429

Once old people keep talking about the past,

430

that means they are going to die soon.

431

I was going to die anyway.

432

Isn't using medicine on me just a waste?

433

I'll stop your bleeding first.

434

It's useless. I know it well.

435

Lang Tao's stab cut through my heart.

436

Then why are you laughing?

437

I'm laughing at you, Fan Xian.

438

What's so funny about me?

439

Nothing. But you saved me.

440

I'm very happy.

441

You're starting to talk nonsense.

442

So taking away the black knights, putting Fan Xian in danger,

443

this all was Your Majesty's idea?

444

If Your Majesty wants to kill Fan Xian,

445

just give the order! Why make such a fuss

446

and send him to Northern Qi?

447

In the end, he's just an official.

448

His life and death are in your hands!

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

♫ You are always there for me. ♫
