My Heroic Husband

Episode 18

Southern City Gate

If we can easily

occupy the South Gate,

then,

the four intersections of

the two main roads

of West Street and East Street

Map of Lin’an City

are top priority to us.

Run!

Bandits are coming!

Four intersections!

Here.

Here.

Here.

And

here.

Liu Xigua.

You are slow this time.

I came here earlier.

Let’s see who will be faster.

Our last branch store could be

located in front of the local government of Lin’an City.

Map of Lin’an City

Local Government

What’s wrong?

Your Worship.

Something’s wrong.

Some bandits broke into the North Gate,

plundering and burning the towns, and killing the people.

They are

going to attack us in a minute.

Go ask the Wude Camp to hold them back

and protect the powder magazine.

Yes.

Kill them!

Kill them!

Kill them!

It’s just a matter of time

before we achieve our success in Lin’an.

Come on.

Ning, Ning.

A toast! A toast!

Ning.

As one of the founders of Zhu,

I’ve gained

some experience

in running a business

and managing stores.

Just leave Lin’an’s Zhu to me.

I promise you that I’ll do a good job.

Li, it’s not right.

Why not?

As one of the founders,

I, Feng, am also a founder!

The way I, Gao Qiu, do business…

Fine, enough.

They’re all reckless people.

Ning,

all great businesses start from the scratch.

You’re reckless!

My friends!

As for the shopkeeper of Lin’an’s Zhu,

I’ve already had best alternative.

Come on.

Let’s hear about his arrangement.

Come on.

Let’s hear about his arrangement.

Well,

he is the one

who traveled around the world

with a horse

and a sword––

Geng Zhi, Guard Geng.

You’re making fun of me, Young Master.

How could you leave Zhu to me?

Come on.

Ning is telling a joke.

Geng,

when did I lie to you?

I, Ning Yi, always

keep my words.

Remember one thing.

You’ll have a good life

and have whatever you want

as long as you follow me.

I’m now keeping my promise.

Do you have a problem?

No.

Young Master, I…

I…

Geng.

I read

the novel you wrote.

Although it’s short

and only has three pages,

I’ve seen something in it.

A talented writer!

But

if he stays in Su Family

and works as a guard for the rest of his life,

the novel will have a poor finish.

Without rich experience

or challenges,

how could you finish the story?

You can’t even make that up.

So, I specially

assign you to Lin’an

to be a shopkeeper.

You will meet so many people.

This is to enrich your experience.

I trust you.

I want to see how the story goes.

What do you think?

Anyone objecting

Geng’s being the shopkeeper?

No. I’m for it.

I’ll accept your arrangement.

I accept it.

Come on.

Come on.

Young Master,

I didn’t expect you would be so concerned about me.

I’m inarticulate

and I can’t say pretty words.

Enough.

Geng.

You’re not young anymore.

You should be thinking about yourself more.

Go and marry the person

on your mind.

Young Master, a toast to you!

No.

I will drink it up!

Drinking up? Let’s drink together.

Come on, you too.

Chan, Chan.

Come on, let’s drink.

Lower your voice!

Lady is sleeping. So noisy…

So what?

Wake her up if she’s sleeping!

Ning, you’ve got guts!

For Zhu!

For Zhu!

For Lin’an!

For Lin’an!

Lower your voice!

Cheers. Cheers.

Bottoms up.

Keep your voice down! Voice down!

Minister, you must be in a good mood

that you even have time

to invite me to enjoy the sky

in this yard.

It’s already late.

Minister,

don’t you want to have a rest now?

It’s such

a beautiful night

that I can’t even fall asleep.

Sorry, sorry!

Sleep on the road in broad daylight?

Did you two drink together?

You should drink less.

You must feel awful waking up drunk.

Are you…

Are you insane?

Pay attention to the road!

Sir.

What do you have?

Let me see.

Big steamed buns. Great!

I want a few.

Are you going to do your business?

Sleeping in the early morning?

I will take them by myself!

Stop!

Stop! Stop there!

Don’t run!

We got a lot.

It’s a lot.

Give it back.

Give it back.

Give it back.

Give it back.

Was she

heading here?

It’s right here.

Where is she?

Forget it. Let’s go.

Let’s go.

-Don’t kill me. -Shut up!

Stop!

Don’t kill me!

Who’s that?

Master Ning.

It’s me.

Lady Lou?

Why are you here?

Shuwan, why are you here?

Bandits are searching for merchants in the city.

Your identities are sensitive,

I was worried that you couldn’t go out for food,

so, I brought you there from home.

Shuwan,

there’s a war outside.

What if you had run into danger?

It’s not gonna happen.

This place where you live is

only 500 meters from my home.

I grew up here.

It would be impossible for them

to catch me in these narrow alleys.

Come on.

Let them eat.

Chan.

You need to hide for a while.

Master Ning.

I heard these bandits are so evil.

I saw them plundering and looting

and searching rich merchants

on my way here.

Wude Camp was trying to defend them,

but they were minimally effective.

I don’t think

they can hold on any minute.

So, don’t go out.

That is to say

Lin’an has probably been occupied by the enemy.

Lady Lou.

Do you know

there’s any way to get out of the city?

Four city gates have been occupied by them.

There’s no chance you’re going to make it.

Boss.

I just saw them!

They are in this yard!

Broke the door and search them!

Catch them and send them to Commander Bao.

You’ll be rewarded!

Yes!

General Yuan!

Ning.

Why are you here?

Come inside.

General Yuan,

how’s the situation?

There are so many of them.

They’re going to break into the city soon.

These bandits

are Fang Tianlei’s people. He’s the scourge in southwest.

It’s hard to get rid of them.

To tell you the truth,

we’ve received an order

to change from the offensive to the defensive.

We will try to keep Lin’an City

and evacuate the refugees.

You mean

evacuation is still available.

There is a wharf not far from the north of the city,

where you will be received by boats.

You can leave through the narrow gate on the west of the city.

Wude Camp will protect your safety

and escort the rest of our citizens.

Go pack up now.

Thanks, General Yuan.

Hurry up.

Pack up your valuables.

Let’s get ready for the evacuation.

Okay.

Thanks, General Yuan.

-Thank you so much. -Thanks, General Yuan.

Okay.

I can finally go back home.

My hands are getting itchy

since I haven’t done a foot massage for my wife for days.

You sissy!

A massage on the shoulder and back is the most comfortable.

Yeah, yeah.

Go pack up now!

Hurry up.

Then, I’ll go back home now.

Shuwan,

leave with us.

No.

My brother and father are still at home.

How about this?

You leave with General Yuan first.

I will meet you at the wharf

after I pick up my family.

Be careful on the way.

We will wait for you at the wharf.

Rest assured.

General Yuan,

please escort Lady Lou home.

Okay.

-Let me send you back. -Thank you.

Tan’er.

Get yourself ready.

Move!

Hurry up! Go!

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Liu…

Commander Liu.

It’s okay if you don’t know my sword.

Now, you don’t even know me?

Sorry to have offended you.

Please forgive me!

I don’t care if you rob things.

But why girls?

We’re just taking orders.

You know it.

Commander Bao

likes this.

Let them go.

Okay.

You guys.

Free them.

Hurry!

Where is Bao Wenhan?

I want to see him.

Yes! Yes!

Xuanwei Soldiers of Lin’an

Drink it!

Drink it! Drink it! Drink it!

Open your mouth!

Great!

One more drink!

Drink it!

Open your mouth.

Come on.

A sip!

Bao Wenhan

Drink it!

Take a drop.

Open your mouth.

Not enough, right?

Open your mouth.

Get up!

Get up and dance!

Go on!

Plundering and looting as soon as you entered the city?

Who told you to do this?

It’s Commander Bao.

But I’m the one in charge of public security.

Get out.

Uncle.

Shut up!

Don’t talk nonsense.

Are you a bad guy?

Hero.

She’s just a child.

Please. Don’t hurt her!

Please.

Don’t hurt her!

Please.

Kid.

What did you just call me?

Uncle.

I’ll say this just for one time.

You can call a man

like your father uncle.

But for a man as handsome as me,

you should call him brother.

Understand?

Yes.

Good girl.

Lock your door.

Don’t go out for a while.

Store more food up.

Okay.

You must protect the safety of Lady.

Remember.

Even if I’m gone,

you must protect her well.

Ning.

We’re ready.

We’re running for our lives,

not for travel.

Why are you with all your bags?

Drop them.

There are bandits outside.

Well,

do you have any weapon with you?

Yes. Sure.

Feng Yuan,

I can live with Shen Miao’s gourd.

But what the heck are you holding?

A steamed bun.

It can be used to hit people and fill my stomach as well.

It’s easy to carry it.

How about I ask Geng to cook some chicken legs for you?

Enough.

Get out.

Come here.

Stop.

I’ve told you many times that

you have to have compassion for girls.

If you destroy

such a pretty face,

it will be great casualty of beauty, right?

Take her to the back yard.

No food for three days.

No.

Please. Please put me down.

Put me down.

Hunger is the best cure.

People can agree to any requirements

just for food.

People who haven’t been hungry can’t understand this.

Right?

Yes!

You wanna try it, too?

No.

Then, keep dancing!

Come on.

That’s quite an entrance.

Here comes the Commander Liu.

Commander Bao is in such a great mood

that you are even listening to music.

Tell me.

Why are you

stealing all the girls on the streets?

You want to give each of your people

in Xuanwei Camp a wife?

Listen.

I opened the gate to let you in,

not to loot and plunder.

Lin’an is our base camp.

Now that

you took away their money and daughters

and they are boiling with resentment,

how are we supposed to keep a foothold?

It’s not my fault.

We agreed on it.

You Badao Camp is in charge of the public security.

We Xuanwei Camp

will collect the money and valuables.

We are not responsible for

the mess on the streets.

Okay.

Then I will hold anyone

who creates the mess accountable.

Liu Xigua.

Don’t forget your manners here

just because you’re the adopted daughter of Holy Master.

Listen.

What I did was all ordered by Holy Master.

He will arrive here tonight.

You can ask him to punish me.

Be quick.

Tan’er.

The situation is urgent.

You take the knife

in case you need it.

I don’t know how to use it.

If it falls into the enemy’s hands,

they may use this against me.

You take it.

I’ll take a look at the yard.

Ning,

why do you have this knife?

A friend of mine gave it to me

when I left Jiangning.

May I know

if his family name is Qin?

Yes, he is.

We are so close.

But he just gave me this little knife.

Greetings from Yuan Dingqi, Captain of Secret Investigation Department of Lin’an City,

Commander Ning.

General Yuan.

Get up, please.

What…

What does this mean?

What department?

This knife

is from the Right Chancellor Qin Siyuan.

It also stands for Commander in Chief of Secret Investigation Department.

Qin

All the people in this department

swore in front of this knife

that they would protect Wu Dynasty’s safety.

Ning.

If

Right Chancellor Qin really gave this to you,

it means you’re the hope of Secret Investigation Department.

Now,

Lin’an City is on the verge of destruction.

We are in a state of disunity.

I

beg you to stay

and lead us to take back Lin’an altogether!

General Yuan,

I can’t. I really can’t.

I’m just a matrilocal husband.

Ning!

The Secret Investigation Department…I…

Something’s wrong.

Get out of the way.

It’s Chen Damu.

That seems to be Taiping alley.

That bastard!

Let’s go.

Chen Damu is dead now?

Interesting.

Goodbye, brother.

Evacuate!

Chen Damu

Xuanwei Soldiers

What’s wrong, General?

This is the Right Commander of those bandits.

The vice general of Bao Wenhan.

He just released a signal.

I guess all the bandits in the city

are heading towards us.

There are many citizens in Tailing alley.

If there’s a fight,

casualties will be inevitable.

Tell all the citizens nearby

to go to the wharf right away.

Yes.

General.

If you are the only people

who will stop the bandits in the whole city,

aren’t you going to kill yourselves?

As long as we can hold them back for one minute,

more of our citizens will survive.

Don’t worry about us, Ning.

I’ll have your family and you escorted.

Time to leave.

General.

Did you

just kill them with gunpowder?

Yes.

Do you have more?

The main powder magazine

has been occupied.

I only have some on the carriage.

Wait for me.

What’s wrong?

You go to the wharf first.

I’ll meet you in a minute.

Are you going to stay to stop the bandits?

If you stay,

I won’t leave, either.

If we fail to keep this place,

every one of you won’t be able to escape.

You go there first.

I will catch up.

No, it’s too risky.

Geng.

Yes.

Take her to the wharf.

Yes.

How dare you!

Lady, let’s go!

Ning Liheng.

Lady, let’s go!

Attention, Wude Camp!

Gather all of

our people here.

Let’s fight

the bandits!

Yes.

Hall of Mental Cultivation

I have to remind

you bastards with empty talks.

Now we should carry out the north expedition

while Jing is still weak.

If not now, when?

You reckless people have no idea about state affairs.

Stop all the nonsense.

Jing just eliminated Liang,

their army is powerful right now!

If we go against them suddenly,

we will burn ourselves and have our people in risk!

Now that the bandits in Lin’an haven’t been wiped out,

yet they are plundering and loot,

waiting to expand their strength.

If between hammer and anvil,

Wu

will be put in a great danger!

You’re talking nonsense!

The Secret Investigation Department has received a message that

Jing has lost half of their elite force.

They can’t be powerful right now.

You must have been bribed by them.

Your Majesty.

The ministers have been waiting for a long time.

I wonder when you will be available for discussion.

No hurry.

Allow me to think about it.

I wonder

if you are hesitated about the…

I

have issued a decree to conquer Jing.

Now,

all the people have known it.

If I suddenly regret it,

they will definitely laugh at me.

But now

Lin’an is

being occupied by some bandits.

Lin’an is a military stronghold

and also a granary.

If anything happens to it,

let alone the conquering,

we won’t be able to

fill our stomach.

The war in Lin’an is not over.

I

dare not send out troops to the north.

Rest assured, Your Majesty.

Lin’an is full of elite soldiers from Secret Investigation Department.

Also, Wude Camp is eradicating the bandits.

I’m sure the situation will become stable soon.

It will not influence our plan to set off to the north.

And, I

still have a sure card.

What is it?

Jing has just annexed Liang.

Its strength is greatly damaged at this time.

I suggest

Dong Daofu lead

the main army to go north.

At the same time, two generals will be sent to lead the forbidden army to the south

to cooperate with our troops in Lin’an City.

In less than a month,

we can get rid of the bandits

then, we will take all the gunpowder and firearms and go north

to join General Dong.

We

will definitely defeat Jing.

You’re very thoughtful.

No wonder the late Emperor believed in you.

But

the court is dismissed today.

No state affairs shall be discussed.

Your Majesty!

You may leave now.

Wu

Minister.

Minister,

the Emperor today…

I knew it.

No discussion

is made today.

Sure, you know everything

from the court.

Hearing about the attack in Lin’an,

Minister of Personnel and Minister of Defense

all came up

and opposed the north expedition.

Tong Ke

and Li Gang even

had a fight outside the Imperial Book Gallery.

It’s quite a scene!

That’s what you care about?

Do you know Qin Siyuan

talked to His Majesty

for two hours in the Gallery?

He did go to see the Emperor.

But I heard from Eunuch Li that

he had a long face

and knitted brows

when he came out.

And the Emperor didn’t issue any decree either.

That means the Emperor

hasn’t made up his mind.

You can rest assured, Minister.

We’d better lay out an anchor to whirlwind

instead of being unprepared and seek help at the last minute.

If I were as careless as you,

I’d have already lost my position and confiscated my property by Qin Siyuan.

Yes, you’re right.

Ask someone

to buy a sweet cake with red beans

at Huaxiang Restaurant in south of the city.

Use the biggest gift box.

It’s hot today.

Add some ice to it

in case it melts.

Yes, Minister.

Go.

That’s all?

The number of bandits is too big. So, it’s a huge drain.

These four boxes are all we have.

It’s far from enough.

Unless…

Catch them!

Li.

Stop trembling.

Or we’ll be found out.

I’m not trembling.

Shen Miao is!

I’m not! You’re trembling mentally!

You’re making us tremble too!

I… I…

Everyone, come on.

It’s safe now.

Let’s go.

Lady, let’s go.

Hide yourselves!

Come on!

Let’s go!

Catch them!

Hey! You!

Come and try me!

Ignorant!

Let’s meet at the wharf. Run!

Lady.

They…

Let’s go now.

Let’s go.

Stop!

Taiping Alley

Lad,

my vice general, Chen Damu,

is on your hands, right?

Do you have

any manners?

I’m eating noodles right now!
