General,

all places have been searched.

The rest of the pirates have fled.

Search more closely.

Yes.

General,

According to spy sources,

they are heading to Xianhuang Island.

It's not too late for us to get there.

Then, go to Xianhuang Island.

Yes.

General,

The three leaders of Poisonous Dragon Gang，

Iron Bamboo Gang and Tiger Shark Gang

are hiding in Zhuiying Island.

Here you are.

Three leaders?

Yes.

They are very cunning,

who usually do not get together.

Now it's the perfect chance

to get them all.

We must go to Zhuiying Island.

But we should go to Xianhuang Island to chase the Four Seas Gang.

But how can a Four Seas Gang

compare to three groups of pirates?

General,

it's a big difference in importance

in His Majesty's opinion.

Where did you get this letter?

It should be left behind by pirates.

It's so weird for them

to leave such a confidential letter behind.

This must be their ploy.

They want to distract us

so they can seize this opportunity to escape.

According to the ink,

the letter

was not a temporary forgery

by the Four Seas Gang during our attack on the island.

They might get this news in advance.

If this letter is real,

we should go to Zhuiying Island.

I agree.

Distracting us is not a problem,

as long as the target is real.

It's a good deal

to let go of the Four Seas Gang

but capture three pirate leaders.

Send the order. Go to Zhuiying Island now.

Yes.

No.

But Rou is in the hands of the Four Seas Gang.

We must go to Xianhuang Island.

Mr. Sheng,

You found the core base of the Four Seas Gang,

and recognized the trap that the pirates set on the rocky beach,

which really helped us a lot.

But we are an army belonging to the Tang,

only serving for the benefit of the Tang.

We can't risk our lives for your lady.

General.

General.

Give me a boat.

If you are not going,

I will go myself.

Let me go.

Why don't you have any mercy?

Forget it.

Our core base was destroyed,

and we have to stay on this poor island.

Why should I show mercy?

Her presence

will waste our food and water.

It's better to kill her.

I'll kill you first.

Chief.

Don't touch me.

You're hurt?

I know it's uncomfortable here.

But please trust me,

after this crisis is over,

I will take you to enjoy all the glory and wealth.

Listen,

take care of her.

If she gets hurt again,

I'll feed you to the eagles.

OK. Get it.

You.

The Tang Navy is heading to Zhuiying Island.

How smart you are!

You figured out they couldn't let go of that big credit.

When the Poisonous Dragon is done,

no one will dare to disrespect you in these areas.

This attack by the navy is very strange.

Check out the person

who saw through my trap.

Yes.

This is from the chief.

Liquor?

Chu Mu.

You!

How could you get here?

You left a code word on your handkerchief,

asking me to come to Xianhuang Island.

That's because I was afraid I would be killed

and wanted to write some last words,

but I didn't know what to write.

And it so happened that I heard...

You only taught me the code words,

which means,

I was in your mind

when you wrote your last words.

You're still being frivolous

in such an urgent situation.

Let's get out of here.

We'd better leave here.

Just tell me directly

if you want me to hold you.

You're so cheeky.

Our boat

is behind that reef.

How many people we have?

Only me.

But I heard that

the Tang Navy was coming.

We, the Mansion of the Duke of the State,

will never use public office for private gain.

How can I make the Tang Navy

save my loved lady?

As a man,

I can handle it alone.

At worst, I will fight with them.

Am I stupid in your eyes?

For the same thing,

if a treacherous person does it, he is stupid,

but a gentleman like you does it,

that is for the greater good,

and it's brave.

So serious.

In this case,

you are supposed to

be as grateful to me

as any other ladies.

Other ladies?

Damn, we are spotted.

Let's go.

Chu Mu.

What should we do?

Chief,

I was beaten by him.

Catch him.

Let's go.

Watch out, Chu Mu.

Chief,

this guy is quite dogged.

Chu Mu.

Taking advantage of numbers. What kind of heroes are you?

Come on.

Fall back.

Let me fight with him.

Chu Mu, watch out!

Chu Mu.

Stop.

How dare you hurt her!

No. Stop.

No.

Who is he?

Please.

Please let him go.

If you let him go,

I'll stay with you forever.

I will do whatever you say.

No.

Let her go.

You can kill me as you want.

No.

No.

Rou.

Rou.

Listen.

Listen to me.

As long as you are safe,

I want nothing more.

I have already let down many people,

I can't let you down again.

Chu Mu,

I know

your words are real this time.

Well,

I'll die with you.

Do it.

You would rather die with him

than enjoy all the glory and wealth with me.

I would rather not

enjoy the wealth and glory

that comes from theft and robbery.

The only thing I want

is a real and upright man.

Get out.

Chu Mu,

let's go.

Go.

General Lu Junior is going to marry a mistress, too.

So the portraits of beautiful women

are sent to the Mansion of Lu.

How can the rest of these portraits

be worthy of my son?

But the Fu family said that

if the master dares to marry a mistress,

they will report him for breaking the Tang Code

and put him in jail for a year.

Now that damn lady

falls into the hands of the pirates,

she will not be able to keep her innocence.

How could she care about my son?

It's okay for her to be killed by the pirate,

but if she does not come back clean,

I will not spare her.

Madam,

she's back safe and sound.

How,

how could it be!

I heard that the navy attacked the pirates,

and saved her by the way.

That's

incredible!

How could she make it!

Shall my You

be dragged down by this filthy woman

for the rest of his life!

Damn. Damn it.

These are all vulgar women.

Mister,

these just came in.

What a beautiful woman!

I want her.

But,

this woman is engaged.

So why do you introduce her to me?

She is so tough

and knows the Tang Code.

I want to see

how beautiful and stubborn

you really are.

Mother,

Second Sister is back.

Why don't you go and visit her?

Everyone is there.

Why should I visit her?

She saved you.

But I saved her, too.

I gave all my savings

to her.

How can you be so

ungrateful?

Since you all support her,

why should I fawn upon her, too?

I can't let her get too cocky.

Rou,

I like you.

I know.

So do you like me?

I don't know.

What

do you like about me?

I like that you are always so serious.

You know, I didn't like you much

when I first met you.

But after I returned to Chang'an, I realized that

others were insipid in my eyes.

I think of you every day

and dream of you every day.

Even when I was reading, shooting arrows, and drinking,

you were in my mind.

I thought about how you shout at me every day.

Am I an evil woman to you?

I.

You used to beat me and yell at me.

That's because you lied to me.

I swear I won't lie to you anymore.

Swear to me,

you won't be bold like this,

going to the pirate base alone.

For you, whether it is a pirate base

or other dangerous places,

I'll go there without hesitation.

No.

You've been hurt once for me.

That's enough.

I don't want to see you

to get hurt again.

I promise you.

I'll learn to be stronger

when I'm healed.

Then I won't get hurt anymore,

and you don't need to worry about me.

Have some rest.

Where are you going?

I'll go embroider.

But my, my hands

are hurt.

You said that

one sachet is not enough

and you want one more.

Looks like she's touched by me.

I feel so touched, too.

The Mansion of Chen has sold your marriage contract to me.

I am here to pick you up today.

I never know the marriage contract is tradable.

But if I want it to be tradable, it should be.

Even if you are in a high position,

you need to obey the Tang Code.

You are familiar with the Tang Code.

I know that

I'm not the product to be sold or bought.

And I also know even if you're in a high position,

you'll be punished

if you break the Tang Code.

You're teaching me?

Somebody!

Invite Lady Fu to our mansion.

I'm going to ask her about the Tang Code.

You.

Yes.

Let me go.

Stop.

Let me go.

Chu Mu.

Stay away from her.

Sheng Chu Mu,

My father asked his men to yield to you,

because your brother-in-law

is Lord Han.

Don't take it too far.

If you touch her,

I'll beat you to death.

It seems that you haven't been beaten enough by me in Chang'an.

Try it if you dare.

Let's compete.

As you wish.

OK.

If you win,

I'll never bother her,

and give this marriage contract to you.

Come on.

No.

General Lu, if you take this advantage

to bully a wounded man,

your reputation will turn bad.

You're right.

But don't worry.

I never exploit others' weaknesses.

I'll compete with you

at the next Imperial Match.

OK. Deal.

Chu Mu.

Belle,

I'll come again

when I win.

You.

Ignore him.

What?

The Imperial Match?

I wanted to beat him up right then and there,

but then I thought,

if I defeated him in front of His Majesty,

it would make them lose face.

Good boy.

You finally have a long-term vision.

Sheng Chu Mu is not enough to be afraid,

but it's always good to be careful.

You need to practice your martial arts skills.

Don't catch geese all day long.

Be careful of being pecked in the eyes.

Yes.

Any news on the stuff shipped back home?

It takes two months

to travel from Guangzhou City to Xunyi.

Once I get the news,

I'll report it to you.

Be more careful.

I know.

Do you really need to attend the Imperial Match?

Can you beat him down?

Even if I die,

I can't let him win.

But

I don't want you to risk your life for me.

So are you willing to risk your life for me?

Yes.

Close your eyes.

What?

Since you are willing to risk for me,

you are still afraid to close your eyes?

I knew I couldn't trust you.

Even though I'm leaving, you still won't let me.

Where are you going?

Yanluo Palace.

You want more?

I have to.

Even if it is hard?

Yes.

You won't regret it?

Never.

For a woman?

For my only

loved woman.

Good.

Someone is there.

Someone is there.

Go and report to the boss.

Duke Lu,

don't make it hard for me.

Even if I put in a good word for you in front of His Majesty,

it won't work.

Prime Minister Fang,

I know my boy is not promising.

As a father,

I'm worried about him.

You know,

he can't be either an officer

or a warrior.

If he can't get a good wife in the future,

how can he get a position in Chang'an?

For the sake of the decades we have known each other,

help me.

Please.

Why do you keep only drinking my vintage wine

and sighing, but not talking?

According to the reports that came this morning,

the Southern Navy

recently attacked

and captured

hundreds of pirates,

and killed three pirate leaders.

Sheng Chu Mu

was involved from the beginning.

Good.

That's my boy.

But,

he ran off halfway through.

Ran off?

Yes.

I heard that

he went to find a woman named Rou.

It's

It's all about being spoiled by his mother.

I heard that your son

fought with another group of pirates

for this woman,

and got injured.

What?

Which woman

made my son get hurt?

Who is she?

You've been training like crazy lately.

I'm really worried that

you'll lose your life

before the competition with Lu Qi.

Stop looking around.

My men are scared by your fight.

They are hiding now.

Uncle.

Cut the crap.

I've taught you everything I know.

Go now, and never come back.

You have worked so hard to teach me,

how can you let me leave like this?

Today,

the sun is out even though it's raining so hard.

You dare try to take something from me.

Since I have completed the study,

as a master, you should give me something,

such as weapons, treasures,

or tactics books.

I knew that you would want something

from me before you leave.

You look exactly like me when I was young.

Come on. Have a look.

What do you want?

Here.

This book seems like...

It's a chess manual.

Are there any tactics books?

Do you understand it or not?

It's the Linglong Chess Manual,

which is much more valuable than a tactics book.

Many people fight for it.

If you don't like it,

just give it back to me, come on.

I like it, of course.

Bye.

Take care.

It's made by Mother. Try one.

Only Third Madam

can make it so delicious.

She

deliberately made more for you

and thought I didn't know.

By the way, Second Sister,

how is the business?

Better than before.

The Xu family was pleased

with the 500 pieces of green cloth.

They ordered more.

We finally got through

this difficult time.

You don't need to worry about him.

You have Brother Chu Mu.

If you need money,

you can borrow it from him.

Yin,

when getting along with people,

if you want them to respect you,

you must have your own integrity.

Remember that,

to make friends, you must have the right heart.

Just like our dyehouse,

if the color is not right,

then the cloth will be unacceptable.

Second Sister,

I want to borrow some money from you.

Third Madam

didn't get your monthly salary deducted, did she?

No, she didn't.

It's just

I want

a bit more.

A bit more?

This bowl of soup is not cheap.

You are borrowing money

for his birthday present, right?

How do you know

Mr. Du's birthday is coming up?

I didn't,

but I just asked so,

and now I know.

Second Sister.

I can lend you some.

Thanks!

But

does Third Madam know about

the relationship between Mr. Du and you?

I don't dare to tell her.

She always hopes that

I will marry a man who is an official

so that I can go from rags to riches.

If I tell her that

the person I like is a poor scholar,

she will definitely set the fur flying.

Why do I have such a bitter life

and such a snobbish mother?

My lady,

Mr. Sheng is back.

Finally.

That one is Altair

and that one is Vega.

They can only meet each other

once a year.

They are so far apart.

Then I will

embroider a bridge for them

so that they can meet each other every day.

How nice you are.

What do you think they will do

when they meet? So strange.

They will...

They will...

Sew up your nonsense mouth.

How can I kiss you if you sew up my mouth?

How dare you kiss me.

How dare you kiss me.

Does it itch?

How dare you.

Watch out.

Rou,

will you

marry me?

Marriage happens through the parents' order

and the matchmaker's words.

Don't worry.

I'll obey the rule.

But,

I'm worried that your parents won't like me.

Trust me.

Instead of disliking you,

they will be very satisfied with you.

As a merchant's daughter,

she dares to think of marrying into the Mansion of the Duke of the State.

She made my son get hurt.

I haven't settled this score

with her yet.

My lady,

according to the news from Guangzhou City,

this woman has already got engaged when she was young.

But the family she was betrothed to is all dead.

Bad luck.

She later married into the Chen family,

but on her wedding day,

she felt neglected by her mother-in-law

and left straight away.

Hellcat.

The Chen family had no other choice,

so they transferred her marriage contract to the Lu family.

General Lu Junior intended to marry her as a mistress,

but Mr. Sheng did not agree

and fell out with General Lu Junior.

They even agreed to compete in the Imperial Match.

A femme fatale.

I'll never let this vixen

marry into our Mansion of the Duke of the State.

What?

The ship was hijacked?

The things on that boat

were collected by my father over the years with great difficulty.

How useless you are.

It's my fault

for failing you, uncle.

How dare anyone be so bold?

It's a man named Fang in the Four Seas Gang.

He also said that

he was coming for you.

Bastard.

Father,

you shall never let him off easy.

I will never let go of anyone

who set themselves against me.

But,

besides the group of pirates, does anyone else know

what was loaded on the ship?

At the dock,

someone seems to have seen what's in the box.

How stupid you are!

Who saw it?

It's a merchant named Fu.

Their boat was docked there too.

Fu?

Is it the one that runs the dyehouse and embroidery workshop?

Yes.

According to the shipwright,

that ship was used to purchase dyes.

If the things on this ship

are known by others,

it is definitely not good.

Since they know what they shouldn't know,

let them shut up forever!

Father,

Sheng Chu Mu is related to this family as well.

Shall we...

Idiot!

Killing a few civilians is not a problem,

but if you kill Sheng Chu Mu,

Duke Lu will not take it lying down.

We must not

let the court know about this.

Zi Yun.

Zi Yun.

Zi Yun.

You shall go to sleep.

You shall go to sleep too, my lady.

Master Chu Mu is not back yet.

Who are you cooking this soup for?

It doesn't matter if he comes back late,

he can just take this as a snack.

But you,

you've been yawning.

Go to sleep now.

Yes.

Why do you want me here?

Did you bring so many people here

because you were afraid I would beat you up?

You're known for your cunning.

I take them with me to avoid falling into your trap.

Say it.

Just drink.

Drink?

Between men,

either competition of strength, or alcohol tolerance.

Regarding the strength,

you'll lose.

As for alcohol tolerance,

you might lose as well.

You're going to lose.

Fire!

It's on fire!

Put out the fire!

Get some water!

Get some water!

This way!

Here!

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Rou.

Here.

Be quick.

Rou is in there.

Rou.

Don't be silly. Hurry up.

-Be quick. -Rou.

Rou.

-Rou is in it. -Just go.

Here!

Where is my mother? Where is she?

Hurry up.

Be quick.

Is my mother still in there?

She is so smart.

She must have run out long ago.

-No. -Hurry up.

I have to find her.

Hurry up.

Splash the water!

Quickly!

This way.

Get some water.

Here.

Hurry.

Here.

Here.

Hurry up.

My god.

Anybody?

What happened?

Somebody help!

Anyone here?

Help.

Help.

Mother.

Help.

Help.

-Third Madam. -Fu Rou, is that you?

Third Madam.

Wait. Don't panic.

Make way.

How are you? Are you okay?

Third Madam.

Come on.

Save your words.

It's on fire. Let's get out of here.

Hurry up.

Are you okay?

Get out of here.

Get out of here.

God. What can we do?

Third Madam, this way.

Go.

I heard one thing.

You're very close to Lian Yan Er

who is in the Yanhui Hall.

I heard that

she has a pair of beautiful feet.

Just drink.

Stop talking nonsense.

That's where the Fu family is.

Go.

Go.

Listen, I saved you.

You should pay me double.

Third Madam.

Let's get out of here first.

OK, OK.

Third Madam.

It's okay.

Stop, stop.

You can't do it.

No.

We should go together, Third Madam.

Somebody help.

-Help. -Listen to me.

Listen to me.

The family property belongs to Fu Tao.

Don't snatch it from him.

Third Madam.

And

this is for Fu Yin.

Give it to her.

I warn you.

If you don't give this to her,

I won't spare you even if I die.

Don't worry, Third Madam.

You will be safe.

Third Madam.

Just hold on.

Hold on.

Go now.

Third Madam.

Go now.

Hurry up.

Just go.

Go.

Third Madam.

Third Madam.

Go.

You must help me find a good husband for Fu Yin.

Somebody help.

Somebody help.

Help.

Third Madam.

Rou.

Rou, it's me.

Chu Mu.

Chu Mu.

Third Madam,

Third Madam,

she died

saving me.

She died.

Chu Mu,

do you know that?

She died saving me.

Rou.

Third Madam.

Weird.

The wind suddenly stopped last night.

The fire wasn't burning hot enough

and a few people of the Fu family managed to survive.

Father,

how about...

Forget about the Fu family for now.

There's something more important than it.

What is it?

According to the news,

the crown prince is going to choose a princess.

Then Ying Ying should go to Chang'an.

Tell her to pack her bags

and leave as soon as possible.

Wait.

No trace of

what happened last night, right?

Don't worry.

They're professional

without leaving anything.

No one will know it was us.

It's the Lu family.

Are you sure?

Although we can't find out the origin of the kerosene,

and no physical evidence found on the scene,

nor any witnesses,

but I know that the Lu family did this.

The timing of Lu Qi's meal is too coincidental.

Could it be because he was annoyed with you

for Lady Fu?

Rou almost got burned to death.

If he wanted Rou,

he wouldn't have chosen to set the fire.

So your judgment is not correct.

I trust my instincts.

I just can't figure out

why they did this to the Fu family?

Granny,

see?

The sea.

Yes.

Your Lordship,

the lady is tired.

She wants to go to the beach for a break.

Father,

Ying Ying is still like a kid.

When she enters the palace later,

she won't be able to be so free.

Let her be now.

Send the order.

Go to the front for rest.

Yes.

Tell them all to leave.

Leave, you all.

-Yes. -Leave.

My lady, please do not step forward.

It's dangerous.

You shall leave, too.

Me?

My brother has said that

I will be living in Chang'an for the rest of my life.

This may be the last time I see the sea,

so I want to be alone.

Just go now.

I should take care of you.

If you still stay here,

I'll jump into the sea.

No. I'll go.

My lady,

I'll stay there. Call me if you need anything.

OK. Go.

♪The sea shines with afterglow♪

♪As the sky darkened, birds fly quickly over♪

♪I shed tears like pearls♪

♪But I won't regret it♪

Who are you?

Don't make a fuss.

I had a hard time getting here.

You swam here?

There are so many guards here,

I can only go ashore here.

Who are you?

Your father's late friend.

Thanks to your father,

I am here today.

So you're one of my father's former men?

What were you singing just now?

I shed tears like pearls.

But I won't regret it.

Who is so cruel

to let you shed so many tears?

I made it up.

With my brother and father by my side,

no one dares to make me shed tears.

You.

You like the sea?

Stay away from me.

This is a small reef.

I'll fall if I stay away from you.

My lady.

My lady.

The wind is heavy.

Don't get cold.

Here.

Wear this.

I'm not cold.

My lady,

what are you looking at?

Fish.

Is there any fish?

I...

I want to be alone.

Please go now.

OK.

Don't turn back if I don't call you.

Yes.

I just picked it up.

Here you are.

It's beautiful.

Ying Ying,

Father has told me...

Assassin!

Ying Ying,

who is that guy?
