Legend of Fei

Episode 2

(Li Jinfeng, the 48 Strongholds)

Father!

Uncle!

-Brother-in-law.

Tell sister to keep this bracelet under lock and key.

Never let anyone get it.

Uncle!

Father!

Jinfeng sacrificed himself to protect you and 48 Strongholds.

Now you rashly let the person go without knowing his identity.

You're putting the entire 48 Strongholds in danger!

Do you want to experience the incident ten years ago?

I might as well kill you today! -Aunt!

It's nothing to do with you, go away.

Aren't you recuperating in the Reflecting Chamber?

Which bad kid disturbed you?

Mistress Li.

You've scolded and beaten her.

Can you listen to me?

Father.

Fei, don't talk.

Everybody.

In fact, the children got a point.

The 48 Strongholds hold on to reason and justice.

We'll never repay virtue with grievances, right?

Yes. -Indeed.

What's more, we watched Fei and Sheng growing up.

They never even left the strongholds.

It's axiomatic that they will never collude with outsiders.

Yes. -Yes.

Mrs. Wang has a point.

But that being said,...

...it's just Fei's thought that the person meant no harm.

We still have to catch the person who broke in.

Jinrong, can you give ear to me?

Interrogate the person in person after catching him.

Yes. -Yes.

Yes. -Mistress Li.

The priority now is to discuss how to catch the person.

Yes, Aunt. -Yes.

Let's go inside. -Okay.

Fei.

"Keep a Low Profile"

I need to protect the entire 48 Strongholds.

Fei and Sheng'er are growing up.

We have countless masters and hermits in the 48 Strongholds.

Do you have to suffer so much to keep the 48 Strongholds safe?

Aren't you bringing yourself troubles?

Chief.

Our people failed to sneak into the 48 Strongholds.

It's okay.

This trip is just to find out if Xi Mo River is real.

It's good that the brat got in.

Zhou Yitang is about to come out.

Notify Tong Tianyang to get ready.

-Yes.

Does it still hurt?

-It won't kill me.

Your bad temper is exactly like your mother's.

I'm different from her!

She's so used to hitting me.

Be polite, that's your mother.

Father.

Do you know how dangerous Qian Ji Formation was?

That man saved us.

Shouldn't I save him?

What's wrong with me saving him?

Li Sheng entered Qian Ji Formation without permission.

He wasn't punished,

she only beat me up.

Li Sheng is the eldest grandson of the Li family.

I was just an adopted child.

Who taught you to talk like this?

Everything I do is wrong since I was young.

Sheng lost his parents since he was a child.

You shouldn't make such a remark on him.

Li Sheng has always been the mastermind...

...when the three of us cause troubles.

But in the end, it's me who bears the blame.

When we practise together, he only beats me occasionally...

...but my mother sings him praises.

Yet, she has never approved of me.

Fei.

You can talk to me if you have anything.

Just say it.

I.....

I'm not very good with words,

I don't want to defend myself.

It's over anyway.

I'm comforted...

...every time I think of second uncle when I feel wronged.

Father, he saved me and Li Sheng.

Why can't I saved him?

Am I in the wrong?

Of course you're not.

But.....

-But what?

Fortunately, it was just external injury.

Let Fei take a good rest.

Let's go out.

It still scares me when I think of it.

Fei and I were

almost killed in Xi Mo River.

Don't think about going down the mountain any more, okay?

If you go down again,

I'll jump from here.

I'll help you. -Brother!

Jump off. -Brother.

I was wrong.

Don't worry,

I'll still go downhill.

It's just that I won't go through Xi Mo River any more.

I'll take the school exam of Xiushan Hall.

I'll leave from the main gate dignifiedly.

"Reflecting Chamber"

This is the last game I played before going up the mountain.

Who knows it turned out to be

an unusual Game.

There are trap after trap.

It's extremely complicated.

It's extremely difficult...

...to infer the end after putting this piece.

I have been unwilling to move forward

and can't make up my mind.

I think you're limiting yourself.

All these years,...

...I have been binding myself.

If you figure out what your next move is supposed to be,...

...will you go or stay?

Mistress Li beat her ruthlessly.

Is it because she let me go?

Come out.

Water Grass.

I knew you would come.

What are you doing here?

What is this?

-It's the drug I carry with me.

It's for treating trauma.

Did you see it?

-No.

It's just my guess.

By the way, I asked you.....

It's inconvenient to talk here. I'll take you to a place.

Come here.

Go in.

What is your purpose in coming to the 48 Strongholds?

I won't let you out before you make it clear.

This place is nice.

I want to stay here for some time.

Do you have food?

Thank you.

I bring it with me to feed dogs.

Even the dogs here are having nice food.

Say it, why do you come here?

I have said everything I can.

Do you have any hatred with my mother?

No way!

I was a little boy when your mother was out there.

But I guess your mother...

...made enemies with Wang Lin, the old man...

...who entrusted me with the letter.

Who is Wang Lin?

Who is Master Gan Tang?

I didn't know that Master Gan Tang's daughter...

...could actually be so innocent.

No more food for you.

Master Gan Tang is my father.

What is your relationship with Wang Lin?

General Wang,

is it worth it?

Must you take this step?

This trip is dangerous, I might be killed.

I have put up my grave and have no regrets.

(Wang Lin, Anping Army) You will be able to move...

...after an hour.

The war will have started.

Please don't forget what I've entrusted you.

I just hope you'll bring this token to Zhou Yitang...

...and have him assume command in Anping Army.

We're not related.

I just found this old man pitiful.

That was why I agreed to help him.

You worked so hard to break into the 48 Strongholds...

...just because you took pity on an old man?

It's not a pitiful old man.

Wang Lin is pitiful.

He had a successful life

and is considered a hero.

Doesn't it hurt when a hero ends up miserably?

I don't have any other skills except for being strong.

It doesn't matter to help him.

It's saddening to see a hero like Wang Lin...

...to have a pitiful old life.

Likewise, it's saddening when a pretty girl like you...

...is no longer young

and grow grey hair.

Since I encountered it, I should offer my help.

You haven't told me...

...why my mother didn't allow you to see my father?

Reflecting Chamber is remote but uncle often comes here.

What is uncle thinking about?

I'll tell you on one condition.

Say it.

Don't be angry

no matter what I do in the future.

Why should I get angry?

Okay, I'm relieved after hearing this.

Are you crazy?

Xie Yun,

don't let me catch you again!

Why are there assassins trying to kill you constantly?

Why is there someone...

...who risks his life to hand the letter to you?

Why does aunt send most of the guards in the strongholds...

...to guard you alone?

Did you hear what your aunt said?

Fei was punished because of me.

I didn't want this to happen. -Sheng.

Everyone has their strengths...

...and weaknesses.

It's just that you haven't found your place.

Is it like you?

I heard that Master Gan Tang has been at the 48 Strongholds...

...and rarely leave the place.

You're asking him to leave there.

-Don't worry about this.

The only thing is that you must not let the Mistress Li,...

...Li Jinrong, know when you go to the 48 Strongholds.

It's wrong to not put your given talents to good use.

I've left where I'm supposed to be for too long.

Father.

Fei.

Nothing, I'm just here to keep you company.

Mistress Li.

This song has disappeared for many years.

What should come will always come.

We can't escape from it.

Uncle, have you heard this song?

This song is called Anping Song.

I know it so well.

I seem to see my old friend

when I hear Anping Song.

I composed this song...

...when I was under Wang Lin's command during the uprising.

Mistress Li, thank you for waiting here.

I moved slower than your flute sound.

This is Anping Token.

"A prosperous nation"?

It's really not true.

It doesn't give me a longer leisure time.

Didn't you say you'd never leave it?

I came all the way here to give the message.

This Anping Token is just a token.

The message has been delivered, it's now just a piece of iron.

I'm putting the cart before the horse if I fight hard for it.

The message has been sent?

Do you think your life will be spared by playing the song?

What should come will come.

Mistress Li, I believe you understand this.

Otherwise, why don't you even dare to let...

...Master Gan Tang to listen to this song?

Do you think I'll spare your life?

-Jinrong.

How dare you follow me!

Behave yourself, come back.

Master Gan Tang, your humble junior is here.

I'm flattered.

"A Prosperous Nation"

I've paid back the mentorship.

I'm just an errand guy who doesn't know about what happened.

Master Gan Tang, you don't have to show up...

...if you don't want to see me, right?

What if I didn't hear the song?

It's nothing.

The one who can't hear my flute isn't the one I'm looking for.

The 48 Strongholds have a nice view.

My trip isn't futile even if my aim isn't achieved.

Now I'm just someone out of touch with reality.

Why do you come to me?

People like us don't understand the pain of a great person...

...who can't utilise his talents.

Master Gan Tang, don't waste your time.

Sir, you're eloquent.

I'm flattered.

My saving graces are only my legs and tongue.

Otherwise, why would General Wang entrust me?

Don't waste your time with him.

Come on, catch him!

-Hold on.

Jinrong.

Fei, go.

Get me the Anping Token.

"A Prosperous Nation"

Go.

You have made up your mind, haven't you?

I should have known it.

People like you...

...will never be willing to stay out of the world.

Give it to your father.

"A Prosperous Nation"

Jinrong! Jin.....

Mr. Xie,

Xie isn't your original surname, right?

May I know where your home town is?

Being born in troubled times and living in no fixed place,...

...I'm just a nobody.

Does it make a difference whether it's my real name?

Home town is also a foreign town.

Sheng.

Mr. Xie is my guest.

Serve him well.

Thank you, Master Gan Tang.

Is everything arranged?

-Yes, General.

But Chunhui Town is within the scope of the 48 Strongholds.

It's hard for us to make arrangements.

(Wen Yu, Anping Army) We'll go to the 48 Strongholds...

...to pick up Master Gan Tang tomorrow.

Yes.

What did he tell you?

He still wants me to succeed the 48 Strongholds.

I'm not asking you this.

What are you asking then?

Does he really want to leave?

Didn't you give him Anping Token personally?

So what?

That must be his token for agreeing to leave here.

Since he accepted it, he has to leave.

He accepted it and said he'd consider it...

...because he's thin-skinned and didn't want to reject it directly.

He won't leave.

Don't tell my mother.

Why is this wine so sour?

It's different from what I thought.

It tastes sweet to me.

And the person, Xie,...

...said that even the dogs here are having nice food.

The Mr. Xie you're talking about saved you on Xi Mo River.

You saved him despite your mother's order.

You repay kindness and are clear about right and wrong.

I like this nature of yours.

Father, if you're really leaving,...

...can you take me with you?

I count on you to save me every time my mother beats me.

Has your mother ever hurt you seriously?

Your mother has been lenient.

This sneaky guy.

I wanted to be a free and easy person.

Unexpectedly,

I hurt someone's heart...

...when I was being kind...

...and sent a message for General Wang Lin.

The little girl will grow up.

It's strange.

I, the passing traveller,...

...am a little bit reluctant to leave.

Master Gan Tang,

it seems that nothing is holding you back.

Everyone will part one day.

It seems you haven't seen through it.

You're not only knowledgeable but also good at Qing Gong.

Also, you keep all your promises.

May I know who your teacher is?

I have other fish to fry,

I shall bid goodbye.

It's still a long way to the south, take care.

I've waited for you for more than a decade.

You're finally here.

Is the meal you owed me still valid?

You haven't repaid the money I lent you to hear songs.

I still remember it.

Dad,

don't leave, okay?

What I'm going to do is important.

Is it more important than my mother and me?

Stop her. -Yes.

Stop her.

Ms. Zhou.

I'm a rough man and may hurt you.

Don't make it difficult for me.

Step aside.

Dad, take me with you.

I'll protect you!

Fei, stop!

I told you before.

You can't have your cake and eat it.

But today, I just want to tell you...

...what giving and taking are.

The choice isn't in your hand,...

...whether you agree or not.

It's in the hand of the strong.

You should have achievements in one respect.

Otherwise, you'll be like an ant.

You can only drift with the flow helplessly throughout your life.

You can never make a choice.

You'll just make a fool out of yourself.

You want to protect me.

But you can't even step out of this gate.

Whether you want to stay or leave with me,...

...do you have the final say?

Grow up well.

We'll meet again.

Things will not change.

The only thing is when you can come and go at will.

Fei.

I'm leaving.

Dad. -Take care.

Dad.

Father!

My mother was right.

I shouldn't have saved you.

Leave!

Unexpectedly,

you came in person.

We're still in the territory of the 48 Strongholds.

Do you dare to launch your attack here?

We haven't met for more than a decade.

My grievance with the 48 Strongholds is so deep.

Master Gan Tang is leaving the mountain.

How can I, Tong Tianyang, not welcome him personally?

Then, you have to get the permission of my knife.

Li Jinrong,

we'll meet again.

See you on the battlefield!
