[Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty]

[Episode 7]

General.

Fed was healing me last night,

he must be exhausted,

just let him sleep.

Guo Zhuang.

I know you didn't mean it

last night.

You were born in a poor family.

Joining the Imperial Guards

has brought honor to your whole family.

How can you simply quit?

You are brave and loyal.

You might be a successful man

if you encounter some opportunities in the future.

General, please don't say that,

I dare not think about it.

I'm a commoner now,

don't call me General anymore.

From now on,

you and I are sworn brothers.

Brother Guo Zhuang,

you must be tired of carrying me

last night.

Please accept my deepest gratitude.

General,

I don't deserve this.

My brother,

get up.

Go back now.

Where are you going?

What if Great General regrets in the future,

where can we find you?

His Highness was the one who dismissed me.

The one who expelled me,

was His Highness too.

It has nothing to do with Lu Tong.

The leaves fall surprisingly as the early autumn arrives,

adrift just like the wanderer's heart.

From now on, I'm afraid that

I can only wander around from place to place.

I know you don't have money,

we've gathered some for you.

Take it.

I can't accept it.

If you really think of me as your brother,

take it.

Uncle Qian.

Look at this weird-looking flower,

I haven't seen one before.

I haven't seen one before either.

It's not recorded in your book as well,

I'll grind the ink for you now.

Move!

Woman!

How dare you assassinate an imperial official?

How dare you!

Lady Shiyi.

I am Lady Shiyi who is trying to kill you.

You just said

you liked the flowers and plants here?

Great.

This place will be your grave.

Our grudges for each other

has nothing to do with my servant.

How about letting him go first?

Military Commander, what did you just say?

Uncle Qian, listen to me. Run!

Why should I run?

She's just a woman,

what can she do to us?

I have a knife!

Get lost!

Otherwise,

don't blame me for being merciless.

Old man.

You seem loyal to him.

I'll grant your wish,

and let you die with him.

Uncle Qian.

If you insist to kill,

don't blame me for being rude.

If I'm not mistaken,

Gentleman Shiyi who is known to be invincible

and is responsible for the evildoings in the Ghost Market,

it's you, isn't it?

Yes, but so what?

This demon is evil,

run, Uncle Qian!

No.

Even if I die,

I will die along with you.

Give me the knife and

run!

Uncle Qian!

No!

Immortal Venerable,

I'll kill him now

and avenge you.

I've learned martial arts since young,

just for the sake of living.

Later, half-man half-ghostly, I wandered here and there,

until I met the Immortal Venerable.

He not only treated me as a human,

but also highly valued me,

and let me live a carefree life in the Ghost Market.

He also said that

if I can make a career

with Chang'an black tea,

he'll report to the Emperor

to make me the king of the Ghost Market.

But all of this

was ruined by you, Su Wuming!

I'll kill you!

Lu Lingfeng?

You're injured.

How good it is.

Immortal Venerable,

your enemies are all here.

I'll kill them all

to pay tribute to your dead spirit.

Lu Lingfeng!

His disguising skill

is truly amazing.

This is his actual face.

He looks

a dozen years older than me.

Enchanter,

-I will tear you into pieces! -Su Wuming.

Su Wuming!

What are you doing?

He's dead.

He's dead!

[Tomb of Respected Elder, Su Qian]

Lu Lingfeng!

What are you doing?

Now I remember.

W-What?

Last night you advised me to stay alive

to find and revenge

the one who framed me.

Now my enemy is right in front of me.

Su Wuming,

I've buried Su Qian for you.

After I kill you,

I'll dig a hole and build a tomb for you

next to his grave.

Wait,

Wait!

Yes,

it's true that I'll get unlucky whenever

I run into him.

But claiming that he framed you,

this...

this doesn't seem to be true.

I received nothing but punishment,

but how about him?

He was promoted to the Military Commander of Nanzhou

from a low-rank sherrif.

There is no such thing in this world!

Who else could it be

if it's not him who framed me?

No wonder my teacher, Detective Di

didn't take you as his disciple.

How dare you insult me when you're dying?

Su Wuming, you!

Su Wuming,

he's getting irrational due to his anger right now.

Please explain it to him.

What he said

makes sense.

Look,

you're working on the same case.

Why was he dismissed

and expelled from Chang'an,

but you got promoted and made a fortune?

Why?

There are a lot of things we don't understand

in this world.

But as time goes by,

the truth will be revealed sooner or later.

This is also the quote of my teacher, Detective Di.

I'm afraid that

we haven't found out

the truth of

the Chang'an black tea case.

If that Gentleman Shiyi is still alive,

he might be able to...

How unfortunate!

Gentleman Shiyi?

What did he tell you?

If I can make a career

with Chang'an black tea,

he'll report to the Emperor

to make me the King of the Ghost Market.

You can neither believe all the words of an enchanter,

nor deny all his words,

but you don't need to know.

If you think

I got this position of the Military Commander of Nanzhou

because I framed you,

you can kill me immediately.

If not,

you can follow me

to Nanzhou.

What do you mean?

Otherwise,

you'll have to pack up all your things

and go back to your hometown.

But the problem is

you're from a noble family.

If you go back like this,

your clansmen will laugh at you.

Su Wuming!

Why are you doing this again?

Stop your sweet talk,

I know you're just afraid of death.

It's my business whether I'm afraid of death,

it's none of your business.

I just think that

you are still clueless about

what you are doing until now.

You can stab me to death,

but what will happen next?

There will be more truth-covering fog

surrounding you,

and there will be people

who don't know the truth think that

you killed me

for some plot.

If so,

you'll never be able to clear up your suspicion.

I may not kill you,

but I won't go with you.

Are you really going to

wandering around aimlessly?

My arms are sore.

Do you think it is so easy to survive out there?

You need money for food, right?

You need money for shelter, right?

You'll need money for winter clothing as well.

How many days do your think

you can survive with your money now?

What will you do if you run out of money?

Robbing?

You need to earn money to support yourself.

I, Lu Lingfeng.

Also,

you've promised Fed

to give him a chicken every day,

but you want to leave just like this.

That's wrong.

You must keep your word,

my General.

He is right, Lu Lingfeng.

You have to keep your word.

One chicken a day,

that's what you said.

What happened to me

has nothing to do with you?

What do you think?

Since you were

the General of the Imperial Guards,

I won't treat you unfairly if you follow me to Nanzhou.

How about

becoming my personal staff?

Your personal staff?

Don't just stand there,

help me to carry the books.

You will not become my personal staff

for nothing.

I'll pay you

from my salary.

How much will be the exact amount of your pay?

Let's discuss it on our way.

I've forgotten that

you're injured.

How about this?

I'll carry it for you now,

you can carry it when you recover.

It's nothing carrying these books.

My injuries

don't matter.

I would like to thank you

for not leaving

and being willing to follow me to the south.

From now on,

there is no

General Lu Lingfeng anymore.

From now on,

you can call me Minister Lu.

It's up to you.

Well...

this is a deal?

You haven't talked about the pay with him, have you?

How much will he pay you a month?

Is it enough to buy me chicken?

Both of you,

are you really going to walk to Nanzhou?

No horse riding.

No car allowed.

How can we go without walking?

But if we go on like this,

our legs will be broken

before we reach Nanzhou.

Why are you so naggy?

You are repeating the same thing

three to four times

every day.

You think I'm naggy?

I haven't eaten chicken for three days!

To be accurate, it is two and a half days.

There was no chicken at all

at the stage station on the first day.

Yesterday,

the shop was sold out of chicken.

It depends on your luck

whether you get to eat a chicken.

Good punching skill!

Miss,

It's late now,

why are you still awake?

I can't sleep.

Come and talk to me.

Sure.

Miss,

well,

I don't know what to talk about.

Let's talk about you.

I remember when you were nine,

it was me who asked my servant

to buy you back.

Yes, you are right!

Miss,

there were so many people there,

why did you choose me?

I can draw,

you know that, right?

Of course.

Everyone in this building

knows that.

Your drawing skill is so amazing that

all of your paintings

were lifelike.

If you want to learn painting,

you have to learn to read one's face.

When I saw you that day,

I knew you were not an ordinary person.

I've sold myself as a slave,

what's there to be extraordinary about?

But when my mother was still alive, she

once said that

my ancestors

were amazing.

There's even a general among my ancestors.

Xue Huan,

could it be that you are the descendant of Xue Rengui?

Who is X-Xue Renhui?

You don’t even know

your ancestors.

Why do you always sigh

at such a young age?

Xue Huan,

let me ask you.

Do you want to be like your ancestors,

becoming a general

on the battlefield?

Of course I want to.

But,

I'm just a small servant

in your family.

You are a servant, so what?

You'll regain the glory of your ancestors sooner or later.

But,

you must be brave.

Brave?

How can I do to be considered brave?

Anyone who achieved great things

dare to take risks.

For example,

do you dare to run away from

Chang'an with me?

My Lady, you.

Forget it if you don't dare.

You can

tell my father

and ask him for a reward too.

[Yuelai Inn]

Waiter,

Have you seen

the old man with us?

Which old man?

He is looks unkempt

just like a beggar,

with a gourd at his waist.

Ouh, him!

You mean Chicken Fed?

How do you know his name?

Mr. Fed told me.

Mr. Fed?

Yes.

Mr. Fed got up early in the morning.

He asked me to buy him

a horse in the market,

and wanted to leave earlier.

By the way,

he has left a letter.

It's on my cabinet.

Let's go.

Have you found Fed?

He has left.

He even bought a horse.

I didn't know he's that rich.

He's rich.

Touch the money bag with you,

is it still there?

That bastard!

This is a letter from Fed.

What Mr. Fed,

he's just a thief.

Lu Lingfeng,

I'm old.

I really can't stand

the tiring daily walking journey anymore.

I've brought some money with me.

I think it's enough

for months of chicken.

If I've spent all the money and still alive,

I'll come back and ask it from you.

Farewell.

If it's fate,

see you again.

That bastard.

Did he think that leaving this note

will justify his stealing?

That's enough.

Pack your things,

It's time to go.

That's not right.

This stage station

isn't on the posthouse map.

Maybe it's a private station.

It will be raining heavily soon,

it's okay to stay here for now.

Is anyone there?

Open the door!

Who are you?

It's you who knock at my door,

and you ask me who I am?

We are heading south to take office.

It will be raining heavily soon,

we want to stay here for a night.

No one can stay here.

You...

According to the markings on the map,

the next stage station

is ten miles away.

This plaque clearly says

Gantang Post.

It must be an official post.

Judging from his clothes,

he's obviously a corvee working in the post.

Why would he

refuse our request?

I heard what you said.

It used to be an official post,

but it has been abandoned now.

The new stage station is ten miles away,

you may stay over there.

The heavy rain is coming soon.

You don't allow us to stay

instead, you insist on sending us away?

I told you,

this post had been abandoned.

Since this post has been abandoned,

why are you

still staying at here?

Eight years ago,

I came to Gantang Post as a corvee.

This place was abandoned three years ago.

I had nowhere to go,

so I took it as my home,

couldn't I?

Since you were a corvee working in post,

you should let the court officials in

on a rainy night like this.

Whether this post is abandoned or not,

it is owned by the government.

If you keep declining us,

I'll flog you.

Since you insist on staying,

I have to

make things clear first.

This stage station

is haunted.

Stop talking nonsense.

Get out of the way.

What are you waiting for?

Open the door.

Ever since this stage station was abandoned,

I have been living in the wing-room.

The door of the hall

has been locked for years.

I really can't tell

who is the soldier and who is the official.

Since this stage station

has been abandoned,

should we pay

if we want to stay here?

Are these enough?

I see.

You are the master, and he is the servant.

May I know your name?

I'm the new Military Commander of Nanzhou,

Su Wuming.

How about him?

This is my personal staff.

So your official title

is given by yourself,

and you even wanted to flog me.

How dare you?

After all, I've been a corvee working in post

for years.

I know the rules.

Your personal staff who gave himself an official title is right.

This is indeed the government's place.

So I won't

take the money.

I don't want anyone to sue me

and make me guilty.

Since you refused to get paid,

then

at least let us fill our stomach.

Although this stage station is closed,

I still have some food and vegetables.

Please wait a moment.

I'll cook for you now.

Thank you.

By the way,

what happened to your finger?

It got bitten off by a wild dog.

How ridiculous!

In my opinion,

he's right to pick your fault.

I, the Military Commander, haven't even sat down yet,

you have sat there first.

Is this appropriate?

But Liu Shiba

is quite strange.

He doesn't look like

a corvee working in post.

Who?

[Abundance of blessings come at the same time]

I don't know if it suits your taste.

Liu Shiba,

is there anyone else in this stage station

besides you?

I'm the only one living in this stage station.

Who else lives here?

Impossible.

I saw someone

outside just now.

I think you are too hungry.

If you don't eat now,

you may even see ghosts.

Liu Shiba,

don't you want to eat together?

I've eaten.

I'm going to feed the chicken now.

Wait.

Since there's chicken,

why don't you kill one for us to eat?

Chicken,

is for laying eggs.

But I can't see

any egg in this vegetable ball.

What? Are you unhappy with it?

You can choose not to eat.

Liu Shiba!

Look,

isn't Commander Su enjoying the food?

Yes, it is delicious.

After dinner,

you may rest in the first room

at the right wing

That room is big.

Last month, there's even a wandering monk

stayed here,

it has more signs of life there.

Don't you have superior rooms

in your stage station?

There are two superior rooms in the stage station.

So?

So?

Since there are superior rooms,

why don't you let us live there?

What do you mean?

The right superior room

is the reason

why I just said the stage station was haunted.

Does Commander Su dare to stay there?

In that case,

isn't there a left superior room

available?

You can't stay in the left superior room either.

According to the rules of Tang's stage station,

the superior rooms are only for officials

above the fifth-rank.

If I remember correctly,

Nanzhou belongs to the downtown,

so Military Commander is not qualified enough.

Of course,

If you are the serving officials

surnamed Cui, Lu, Li or Zheng,

then you can stay there.

This stage station has been abandoned,

how can you still be so gabby?

However,

since you know the rules of Tang,

then hurry up and

clean up the left superior room.

I am Lu Lingfeng

from the Lu family of Fanyang.

Can I stay there?

Are you from the Lu family of Fanyang?

What?

Don't I look like one of the Lu family?

No wonder.

But you are Commander Su's guard,

not a serving official.

Even if your surname is Lu,

you can't stay there.

You...

I...

I think you did it on purpose.

Enough. Enough.

Stop arguing.

Wing-room is fine.

What's the big deal?

Didn't you hear that the room was big?

Commander Su is reasonable.

Remember,

you can't stay in any of the other rooms

except for the first room at the right wing.

He is just a corvee working in post,

how dare he act like a snob!

Taste the vegetable ball.

It's really good.

What is it?

How can you swallow it?

I'm not you.

You were wellborn and had a wealthy life.

I ate this a lot when I was young.

Aren't you hungry after carrying the bookcase all day?

No matter how hungry I am,

I won't eat

the food made by Liu Shiba.

A renowned scholar should be open-minded and unrestrained.

Just like Ruan Ji,

he can act as there was no one else

in front of Sima Zhao,

and he can also be drunk under the feet of a beautiful woman

without any other thoughts.

A corvee working in post is not respectful enough to you,

why are you so angry about it?

I've become

your personal staff.

What kind of renowned scholar I am?

The rear windows are sealed,

I'm relieved.

Although you've solved many cases,

you are still a scholar.

You are really timid.

There's a ghost in this stage station,

we'd better be careful.

How could you believe

Liu Shiba's nonsense?

Liu Shiba told us

that the main hall had been locked for years.

But when we were eating,

I found the table was very clean.

There was no dust on it.

If it wasn't cleaned by people,

it must be

a ghost.

I'm afraid you can't sleep with an empty stomach.

So I brought you

a vegetable ball.

Eat it.

What?

Are you really going to starve for your pride?

Get up and eat.

I won't look at you

so that you won't feel ashamed.

I'm not hungry at all.

But you are tossing and turning

and can't fall asleep.

What are you doing?

It's because

I'm sleeping on the same bed

with another man.

That's why I can't fall asleep.

Liu Shiba!

In such a big stage station, he only provide us

one room to stay in.

Just take it as his good intention.

What if

ohter rooms are indeed haunted?

Who?

Stop!

Liu Shiba!

How dare you come over to eavesdrop?

I didn't eavesdrop.

I just thought

that Commander must be tired all the way.

Would you like a bucket of hot water

to soak your feet?

Are you such a kind person?

Then why didn't you take

a bucket of ready-made hot water to him?

If Commander Su rests,

the hot water will be wasted.

Do you think it is easy

to go up the mountain and chop firewood?

Alright.

Commander is asleep.

There's no need for hot water.

Rest earlier.

Who are you talking to outside?

Who else?

Liu Shiba.

I found him

eavesdropping on us.

He acted obsequiously

and talked himself out of trouble.

Don't be so fussy.

Are you done?

Go to bed now!

We have to hurry on with our journey tomorrow.

Other rooms are haunted?

I don't believe it.

[Colonel of Zhechong Regiment, Colonel Yu]

[Gantang Post]

Gantang Post?

Why is this place

so shabby?

Let's not stay here.

Let's go.

Even if it's broken,

but it's still a stage station,

I don't mind staying overnight.

No way.

Please consider about your status,

how can you stay in such a place?

Although this stage station is old and shabby,

but this person is new.

I can't wait.

Stay.

Let's stay here.

Anybody?

Anybody?

Anybody? Quickly!

Is anyone there?

Anybody?

Anybody?

Open the door!

Who is in charge here?

There's only me here.

Then get the superior room ready,

prepare some wine and food

for Colonel Yu now.

Sir,

this post has been deserted,

no one can stay here anymore.

No matter how deserted it is, it's still a place to rest.

I'm not that picky.

We'll stay here!

Go away.

Sir.

You really can't stay here.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

You'd better go somewhere else.

-Sir. -Put the carriage and horses here.

Behave yourself.

It seems that

no one else lives in this deserted post.

Go find her a room.

Got it.

Go inside.

Colonel.

I'll leave you to it.

You may leave.

You didn't scream,

how sensible you are.

The deserted post has scene of romance.

The moon shines on the beauty.

Although I'm a martial artist,

my poem is not bad, right?

♫The storm rises with no reason♫

♫In the night of illusions♫

♫I go into the maze♫
