Why didn't I see Military Protector Lu?

Lady Shen,

you're finally here.

Lady Shen,

you're showing me a lot of respect indeed.

I've specially prepared

a pot of hot tea for you.

Military Protector Lu, with the number of men you have here,

I'm afraid that,

I won't get to enjoy this pot of tea.

Take her down!

The Song of Glory

Episode 7

Lady Shen,

you've come prepared indeed.

Since it's you I'm seeing, Military Protector Lu,

of course I must get myself ready.

Well, I would like to see

how ready you are.

Take a good look then, Military Protector Lu.

Why aren't you coming over here yet?

Your good friend

can barely take it anymore.

Let go of her

and I'll strike a business deal with you.

What right do you have to negotiate things with me?

If you put down your armor now,

I can still spare your life.

Can we negotiate now?

Lady Shen,

we're seeing each other again.

You're gutsy and clever indeed.

As long as you let go of A Ling,

I can help you overthrow the Shen family.

Why? Military Protector Lu, are you too scared to work with me?

Why would I be scared?

I just don't know how sincere you are.

Lady Shen.

If the legitimate daughter of the Shen family

snuck into the king's mansion during the Great Consort's birthday banquet

and assassinated King Peng Cheng

under the instructions of Shen Tingzhang...

First of all,

you'll no longer have to live in shame.

Second,

the Shen family

will have no chance to rise again.

Military Protector Lu,

I wonder if you're

interested in this deal?

It does sound

like a pretty good deal.

But why should I believe in what you're saying?

Because of this.

Chase!

Chase!

Military protector!

Let's go!

There was a heavy rain yesterday,

and I found some red mud

at the stable of Lu's mansion.

The red mud is brownish red,

and within a 50-li radius of Jian Kang,

this kind of red mud

can only be found on Qixia Mountain.

I suspect that

the private foundry of Lu's mansion

is located on Qixia Mountain.

Is there any news

about the missing craftsmen?

The lips of the people at Lu's mansion are sealed.

Swordswoman,

you went to kill Lu Yuan again?

Aren't you investigating him too?

We're walking the same path indeed.

Miss, whenever you face problems,

aren't you able to come up with other ways to overcome it

rather than kill?

All killing does it

leaving your body covered with wounds.

It doesn't solve any problem.

All I want is Lu Yuan's life,

and only death can stop me.

You really have a death wish.

You're leaving just like this?

What do you want?

I'll take this as the fee for the boat ride.

You, give it back to me!

I saved you.

Then, this is

your payment for the herbs.

Miss,

you're a fast learner indeed.

But those herbs of yours

can be found all over the mountains,

while this jade of mine is worth a lot.

Those herbs aren't expensive indeed.

But my skills when it comes to bandaging...

It's priceless.

I'm leaving.

Wait.

What's the matter again?

You're still injured.

How am I going to return this to you?

We'll definitely meet again.

Let's wait for that day, then.

Master,

I've already gotten our team of guards ready.

All you have to do is give your command,

and I, Xue Qiu, would be the first one to

charge into the general's office in Anbei.

Alright!

Tear down the office

and avenge Yuan!

Let's go!

Military protector,

Military protector!

Yuan, Yuan!

Take it slow, take it slow.

Yuan, you're awake.

Father,

I'm alright, it's just a minor injury.

Don't worry.

Do return to your room and rest first.

I... You...

Yes, master.

You've been busy all night.

I'll take good care of the military protector.

Take a rest first, don't strain your body.

Alright, then...

Then, you must take good care of him.

Inform me if anything happens.

Don't worry, master.

Military protector,

why don't I bring some men

to the general's office in Anbei now?

What proof do we have?

Shen Tingzhang isn't Cui He.

He isn't backed up by a group of

naive scholars with

no fighting power at all.

Instead, he has the entire Suiyuan Army.

We mustn't act rashly.

Should we just take it

all in?

Of course not.

A woman of unknown origins

who's obviously an assassin at the banquet

suddenly became the legitimate daughter of the Shen family

for no reason.

And now, she's even

entering King Peng Cheng's mansion as a concubine.

I reckon that

there's definitely

a greater scheme behind this.

That old man, Shen Tingzhang,

has always been a meticulous person.

His daughter

might become

his biggest weakness.

This might be a chance for us to

destroy the Shen family for once and for all.

Take no action

and observe the situation.

And,

don't let anyone know that I'm badly injured.

A lot of people wish for my death.

I'll take my time

to take revenge on her.

General Shen,

I heard that

an assassin broke into

Military Protector Lu's mansion again tonight.

And the guards there

chased her out.

It's said that Lu Yuan's badly injured.

And this assassin

was a woman again.

Noted.

San Jiu Tang

But it has always been hard to get information

from San Jiu Tang.

Where did you get that much money?

The head of San Jiu Tang

owed me a favor.

Mother,

I made you some osmanthus cakes.

Do give them a try.

You made these osmanthus cakes

with your own hands?

You... Give them back to me!

You... I made these for mother!

Mother, look, he's stealing food again.

I'm not stealing food!

I'm not!

Mother,

sister made these osmanthus cakes

with her own hands.

Do give them a try first.

This is how you should act.

Let mother try them first.

Mother, hurry up and try them.

Alright.

How is it? Does it taste good?

It does.

Really?

Come on, give it a try.

Thank you, mother.

It's delicious, isn't it?

Brother, I made this.

Do give it a try.

Brother?

Hurry up and give it a try.

How is it?

It's really sweet.

I have some official matters to attend to.

All of you, go ahead and enjoy the food.

You're such a blockhead,

a real blockhead.

Well, it's great that you aren't eating.

More for me.

Let's go, sister. Don't pay anymore attention to this blockhead.

Mother,

these osmanthus cakes sister made

really taste amazing!

Perhaps I should stop letting my thoughts run wild.

I was wrong.

Mother, why don't you have more?

Look at you, you're getting the crumbs everywhere.

Then, this

is your payment for the herbs.

Miss,

you're a fast learner indeed.

Where's him?

Here.

Who are you?

Why are you here?

This is my boat.

All of you are taking advantage

of this lady's kindness

and ganging up

to deceive her.

We've met again.

Stop acting like a woman.

Give me the herbs.

You're such a brute.

How is any man going to want to marry you in the future?

Shut up.

Why do I encounter you all the time?

Lady Shen.

Why don't you get up?

Lige.

Father...

You...

What did you just call me?

Lige,

your father said that

since this is the name

the person who saved your life gave you,

it naturally brings more luck compared to Jiaer.

At the Shen family,

we always show gratitude to those who have helped us.

We must never forget

the great kindness your master had shown you.

From now onward,

the Lady Shen

will be known as Lige.

Understood!

Father.

Mother.

Thank you.

Lige,

you'll be marrying into King Peng Cheng family soon.

As your father, I have nothing much to give you.

I checked out all the needlework shops in Jian Kang City,

and found the most famous Hong Yun Store.

Their Match Made in Heaven

is made with the best materials.

You're getting married the moment you return home,

and as your father, I'm really reluctant to let you go.

I want to make sure that you

get married in style

so that I can give you everything

I didn't for the past 18 years.

General.

What's wrong?

Why are you giving her

a Match Made in Heaven?

It's the most famous item in Hong Yun Store.

Yes, it's indeed the most famous.

But this pattern

is for couples

who have been married for 30 years.

Lige isn't even married yet.

How can she use this?

This is so wrong.

Ah, I...

It's alright,

Father.

I love it.

Great, I'm glad that you like it.

Is there something happening

in the mansion today?

Today, the Lady Shen

is officially returning to the family.

Everyone's at the worship hall.

They're holding a ceremony to welcome her back.

She's finally

officially recognized as

Shen Jiaer.

The general

let her keep her previous name,

Lige.

Shen Lige.

They actually made an amendment

in the genealogy book

for her sake.

Father,

I'm not getting married.

You know, it had been

raining too much this year.

And these peach blossoms

aren't dense enough.

When we used it to make wine,

the wine doesn't taste as sweet.

Father, I'm not getting married to King Jing Ling.

Even though they're not suitable for wine-making,

because of the ample rainwater,

look at how many peach blossoms there are.

This place looks like a fairyland.

Father,

I already have someone I like.

Parents and matchmakers

have the say

in the matter of marriage.

Moreover,

Great Consort Sun ordered you to marry King Jing Ling.

I can't defy her.

Are you refusing the marriage

or not?

We have already talked about it.

Bring them over.

Noted.

You... What are you doing?

This jar of wine

is the Nu'er Hong

that you've kept like a treasure for 30 years.

Exactly.

As for this,

it's the Northland Aged Wine

a general from Northland gave us two years ago.

And...

This one's great.

As for this, it's mulberry wine

from Southland.

Handle them with care!

Are you asking me to

give all of these a taste today?

Father,

even though Great Consort Sun intends for me to marry King Jing Ling,

I'm not a puppet

who can be ordered around like that.

If you don't refuse the marriage,

I'll pour all your aged wine

onto the ground.

Zijin,

don't... Don't act rashly.

These are all rare wine.

We can talk this through.

Put down these jars first.

Let's talk this through.

Refuse the marriage.

-Refuse the marriage. -Let's talk this through.

Refuse the marriage.

I'll return them to you if you refuse the marriage.

How can you threaten your father

this way?

Be careful!

Pillar of Loyalty

You're here!

You brat! Stop larking around!

You gave me a scare.

Brother,

it's day time now. Instead of being on duty,

why are you sneaking around

at home?

It's no big deal.

I...

Left something at home.

Something?

I believe that you're not talking about an item,

but a person.

Mother had already told me that

Zijin is back from completing mourning,

and she'll be back to visit us today.

So, I reckon that a certain someone

can no longer suppress the feelings inside his heart.

You brat, stop larking around!

I'm right, aren't I?

You're at a loss for words, aren't you?

But I would like to give you a friendly reminder.

Now that Zijin

has completed the mournings.

She is a very nice girl.

I'm sure that plenty of people are asking for her hand in marriage.

And Sister Zijin is the only person

I want her to be my sister-in-law.

Miss Wang, please come on in.

What do we do?

What do we do?

Let's hurry up and leave.

Miss Wang, this way, please.

General, my father asked me to tell you that

this is the best Qingluo Jade there is

in Lang Ya for the past few years.

It would make an extremely suitable dowry

for the lady of the Shen family.

Do thank the prince for me.

Has your father been well?

Me and my father have been in good health after returning home.

Now that it's a great time for wine-making...

My father loves drinking and making wine.

I'm afraid that he won't step out of the mansion

for quite a few days.

It's been ten years.

Your two older brother

were members of my troop.

Never did I expect...

General,

a lot of things happened in the past,

but my father has already gotten over them.

For the past years,

the prince never got involved with politics

and had been enjoying life.

It isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I'll definitely visit him in the future.

General, I appreciate the thought.

Father.

Mother.

Lige.

This is?

Come over here.

This is the only daughter of

your father's friend, the prince of Lang Ya,

Zijin.

This is my daughter, Lige.

Nice to meet you, Sister Zijin.

I've heard some time ago that

the general and madam

managed to reunite with their daughter, who had been lost for years.

Now that I finally get to see you in person,

you're indeed a beautiful and elegant woman,

almost like a refreshing painting.

Thank you, sister.

Congratulations for being reunited with your beloved daughter,

General and madam.

It's a joyous occasion indeed.

From now onward,

both of you will be surrounded by your sons and daughters,

living a happy family life together.

Our families have been friends for generations,

which is why I hope that

the two of you

can treat each other like sisters.

Madam, as long as you welcome me,

I'll definitely visit often.

Sure.

Alright.

General, madam...

I've just returned to Jian Kang City,

and there's a lot of things that I have to deal with.

I have to take my leave for now.

Alright.

Have a safe journey, sister.

See you.

Have a safe journey.

Such a good lady indeed.

Her mother died young,

and her two older brothers...

She has to shoulder

all her family matters.

Zhi had always liked her.

If they're able to...

Brother...

And her?

So she is the girl

my boring brother likes and it has been mentioning by Feng,

is it?

Silly girl,

how can you talk about your brother like that?

You know how brother's like.

His heart is actually

overwhelmed with feelings.

But you can't tell at all

from the way he's acting.

He's always putting on a serious face.

Can't he just head over to their mansion

and ask for her hand in marriage?

Things aren't so easy.

The prince of Lang Ya is from an extremely noble family.

And Great Consort Sun

intends to bestow marriage upon Zijin and King Jing Ling.

Zhi

is probably upset about it.

I'm back.

I only found out about it yesterday.

It's been 3 years.

Three years and 6 months.

And 3 days.

Will... Will you leave again?

If I get married,

I won't be leaving again.

You...

You've decided?

There's a good man in my heart.

Why wouldn't I get married?

Yes.

King Jing Ling

is a forthright man,

and he's from a noble family.

He's an exemplary man indeed.

Are you speaking the truth?

You're truly bad at lying.

Have you thought this through?

After father and mother left,

I only kept this grudge in my heart

because I was looking for

a reason to continue living.

After escaping death this time,

I've indeed saw through things.

Senior,

don't tell master that I'm still alive.

From now onward,

I want to live for myself.

Where will you be going?

I want to be free,

wandering around and making every place I go a home.

Everyone...

Let's go together.

Senior,

The Shen family isn't

a place for you to stay long.

As time goes by,

you'll get exposed sooner or later.

After we part today,

I'm afraid that it'll be hard for us to meet again.

I'm reluctant to part with all of you.

Senior,

you must remember me, alright?

I'll definitely write to you.

You must bring along my favourite shortcake.

Remember to add more sugar.

I'll be taking my leave.

Senior, please take care!

Senior, please take care!

This is perhaps

the right thing to do.

It's A Ling's path,

but not mine.

Lige,

as your senior, I'd still like to remind you

not to get too immersed in your act.

When the truth is revealed one day,

I'm afraid that there'll be no turning back.

I understand, senior.

I have something to attend to,

so I'll be leaving first.

Senior.

Your senior...

She's really keeping

more and more secrets these days.

Poem

Pretending to be a man of culture,

extravagant and wasteful.

Bi Xin Wine

Bi Xin Wine?

It's newly brewed

Tastes pretty good.

How am I this ugly?

Did you manage to gather any information?

The lips of everyone in Lu's mansion are sealed.

But doctors have been going in and out of there a lot.

How about the private foundry?

It's on Qixia Mountain.

It's just that I've not found the entrance

to this private foundry.

I forged a badge of authority,

but I could only observe the place from the outside.

Only by obtaining proof that

Lu Yuan is illegally forging weapons

would we be able to destroy the Lu family to the core.

Now that Lu Yuan hasn't recovered from his injury,

seize the opportunity to get more information.

Understood.

Lu

The cabin's too messy,

the poem's really horrible,

and your heart's tremendously black.

You can have your overcoat back.

Next time...

Why don't you show yourself?

I'm here to return your overcoat.

Is this what you were talking about?

Another way to deal with Lu Yuan

aside from killing him?

I have a question.

What comes after "next time"?

Next time,

I want to investigate Lu Yuan together with you.

Sure thing.

But,

your attire...

They have already gone in.

Let's go.

Look at the way you're dressed.

What if some ladies

falls for you?

Focus on the matter at hand.

Wait for me.

Slow down.

I'm the one in charge here.

Both of you. What are you doing?

Just a bunch of birds flocking around

making noises.

This is

the new person in charge from Lu's mansion.

Please come with me.

Give it to me.

Supervisor...

Why is the door closed under the broad daylight?

I know right.

You people...

You don't know me?

Tell him who I am.

He is the new

person in charge from Lu's mansion.

Nice to meet you.

Are all the stocks here yet?

Didn't the military protector say that

he'll only be retrieving them two days later?

King Jiang Dong's birthday is coming up.

The military protector's worried that there would be mishaps,

so he asked me to come and take a look first.

Hurry up and bring them over!

Understood.

Please take a look.

This is the sacrificial vessel

specially forged for King Jiang Dong's birthday.

The image of a Yun Hua Dragon is molded at the top.

At the bottom are fish pattern carvings exclusive for kings.

Take a look.

There are 48 pairs of fish pattern carvings.

They're totally standard.

It's pretty well done.

Fit for a king indeed.

Are you trying to test me?

No, I am not.

Bring me to the foundry.

Hurry up!

Sir,

where's your letter of instruction?

The military protector ordered that

no one's allowed to enter the foundry

without a personal written instruction from him.

Open your eyes wide and take a good look.

What is this?

With the military protector's personal badge of authority,

is a letter of instruction still needed?

How dare you defy the military protector's order!

This badge of authority

doesn't prove anything.

You forged it!

Attack!

You're actually quite good.

There's a lot more that you don't know about.

Master, hurry up and leave!

Go!

Search!

Lu Yuan's lackeys!

Tell me!

Where's the craftsmen?

Take them with us and retreat!

Where's the craftsmen?

Who are you?

I'm asking you. Where's the craftsmen?

Stop it!

Let go of him!

Let go!

I'm begging you.

I'm begging you.

Please let my son go.

Let them go, let them go!

I'm begging all of you.

I don't want to go to the foundry.

No one ever comes out alive.

I'm begging you, please let my brother go.

I'm begging you.

Let my brother go.

We don't want to go back anymore.

Please, I'm begging you.

Please.

Please let my brother go.

I'm begging you, please.

I'm begging you.

I'm begging all of you.

Please.

Please, I'm begging all of you.

Please let go of them.

Why are all of you kneeling before him?

Get up, all of you!

You bunch of

heartless people.

What on earth are you doing?

Spit it out!

We're not from the Lu family.

Impossible!

We really aren't.

Just like you,

we're looking for the foundry.

If you're not from the Lu family,

why do you have their badge of authority?

Kill them!

If you don't

let our craftsmen go today,

we'll kill you!

You're a Black Armored Army?

Black Armored Army?

What's going on?

Yeah, what's going on?

I used to be. Not anymore.

You might not believe in the Lu family,

but do you not believe that

there's other people of integrity

like you in this world?
