Legend of Fei

Episode 22

Fei, it's merry outside. Do you want to go and see?

I'm not interested.

Fine.

We're bound to part. I've contributed...

...by sending you home.

How does your hometown look like?

My home?

It's cold,...

...unlike here...

...where the mountains remain green throughout the year.

Red leaves outside the palace wither...

...as soon as Jiankang enters winter.

Qinhuai River is covered by a thin layer of ice.

It instantly quiets down the blank dock.

It's less cold only in the palace.

Charcoal fire never dims.

There's also.....

I can hardly recall others.

All in all, it's not fun even when I'm kept warm and well-fed.

It has strict rules.

I love to go south after I grew up.

To save money, the inns over there won't start a fire.

Therefore, I prefer bathing in sunlight in Southern Xinjiang.

Do you.....

Do I still recall the tragedy in my childhood?

No.

I was young. So I don't remember much.

I'm not as miserable as you imagine.

Don't keep everything to yourself and remain secretive.

Lady, do you know what it means when you're curious about someone?

What does it mean?

You show interest in that person.

You want to know what he does every day and what he plans to do.

You also want to know what he always has in mind.

The so-called love begins from curiosity of a person.

Why do you always behave like this?

I want to have a heart-to-heart talk. Love?

I'm about to reach my home.

I'm worried when I think of you being alone and roaming around...

...homelessly.

It's all right. I've been roaming around.

I've gotten used of it.

I'll feel bored if you let me stay...

...at one place.

Won't you stop?

It's possible.

For example, I've entered 48 Strongholds.

If Mistress Li insists on making me as her son-in-law,...

...I'll surely have nowhere to run.

Dream on.

A'Fei!

Why are you on the roof?

You know what? We have a problem. I can't find A'Yan!

What?

I can't find A'Yan! I knew she wouldn't behave.

I went upstairs and peeked into her room.

Her room was empty.

The window was opened. Could she have sneaked out again?

It's so high.

Would Li A'Yan jump out?

Yes, she wouldn't.

A'Fei, what should we do?

Don't worry, Uncle Jili. I'll find her now.

I'm going, too. -No, you mustn't.

You've just recovered. You had a competition and a tough journey.

You should rest more. -Don't bother.

Stop following me! -Return Wufu Tablet to me.

Why should I?

I'll enter 48 Strongholds and reclaim it from Zhou Fei one day.

Do you really want to go? -I'm a man of my word.

Forget it. I'll tell you for helping me to sneak out.

You can't enter 48 Strongholds.

How about this? I'll tell A'Fei to return the tablet.

If so, you can take it.

I still want to enter 48 Strongholds.

Are you seriously dumb?

What else is in your brain except competition?

Stop following me.

You didn't say this when I helped you.

Why are you still following me?

I need to follow you to know the way to 48 Strongholds.

You're so annoying.

Is it possible that you're looking for me?

It seems that we think alike.

No, we don't.

It's rare to see a bright moon.

Let me bring you to a place.

"Gufu Brocade"

48 Strongholds is right ahead. This is Chunhui Town.

Let's settle down here.

You've had a tiring journey.

Don't say that. I have held you up.

The inn is right ahead. Stop following me.

Who is following you?

I happen to be travelling in the same direction.

Brother!

Be careful. He is injured.

You've hurt me.

I suppose you're Ms. Wu.

Brother, she seems to be concerned about you.

Is it possible.....

Don't spout nonsense. Talk properly and mind your manners.

Call me A'Yan will do. I'm his sister.

A'Yan.

May I know who you are?

I'm Yang Jin of Qingyungou. You must be the grandson...

...of Southern Saber, Li Sheng.

Where are you from again? -Qingyungou in Southern Xinjiang.

It's called Small Apothecary Valley.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Yang.

Why are you with my sister?

Let's have a duel.

He wanted to compete with A'Fei every day, but he was defeated.

Am I right, loser?

I only happen to pass by. I have something to do. See you.

By the way, brother, why are you injured?

Now you're concerned about me.

Why did you leave the stronghold alone?

I'm not alone. There're A'Fei and Brother Xie.

Is A'Fei here, too?

Who is Brother Xie? -He got Uncle Li...

...to leave the stronghold.

I can't explain further. Let's head back to the inn.

Let's go.

Uncle Ma!

See who is back.

A'Sheng. Well done. You didn't let me down.

I suppose you're Ms. Wu.

Good. I'm relieved that you've come back safely.

Sorry for making you worried,...

...but we should thank A'Fei.

Ms. Chuchu said the first half...

...of her journey was dangerous.

We came back safely only with A'Fei's help.

By the way, where is A'Fei?

A'Yan, where are A'Fei, Mr. Xie and Mr. Yang?

A'Fei and Mr. Xie are strolling out there.

As for that tanned man,...

...I made him angry. So he left.

You're only good at creating problems for everyone.

Go up and sleep. Don't think you can sneak out anymore.

Don't get angry, Uncle Ma.

My brother is injured. I'll treat his wound.

You're hurting me.

Just go to sleep. You're rough. -A'Sheng, how were you injured?

Uncle Ma, our spies have turned against us.

We're hunted all the way back.

So we shouldn't stay any longer. We should hurry back.

All right.

It seems that Qian Ji will only stop two hours later.

Uncle.

I've waited too long for today.

Senior.

There's a fight at Jiangxin Pavilion.

Please send someone to check.

Let's go.

Look. That's my home.

48 Strongholds.

It's the brightest only when the moon shines on Ximo River.

I went there before.

Yes, you went there.

Yes, but I didn't get the time to enjoy the moon.

There's only aquatic plants.

Now I see that the moon looks great at 48 Strongholds.

Does the moon look different in your hometown?

Why are you staring at me when I'm asking you a question?

Moonlight is surely the same everywhere,...

...but the people below the moon are different.

A'Fei.

48 Strongholds remains busy every day...

...with men patrolling everywhere.

Are the birds so easily startled?

Did anything happen?

Let's head back to the inn. -All right.

Master.

The grandmaster has passed away.

We now bear the great responsibility...

...of restoring the sect.

We used to be famous spies.

Now we can only stay quietly in this forbidden forest.

Not only we've lost freedom,...

...we've become subordinates of 48 Strongholds.

From today onwards,...

...we'll revive Ming Feng...

...and regain our pride.

We'll obey your command.

We'll obey your command.

Master, Ming Feng reported that Qian Ji will stop two hours later.

Send my order.

Everyone shall get ready...

...to cross the river and attack the stronghold in two hours.

Noted.

All right, we'll enter the stronghold tomorrow morning.

Uncle Ma. -A'Fei.

Are you feeling better? -Yes.

You're willing to come back at last.

A'Fei, where did you go? Why did you take so long?

Uncle Ma, 48 Strongholds..

...is in trouble. -What happened?

Brother Xie and I saw startled birds at 48 Strongholds.

There is another bad news. Some of our scattered spies...

...have turned against us.

Ms. Chuchu and I were hunted all the way back.

We encountered betrayal of our spy in Huarong, too.

They're bought over by Disha and caused the death of...

...our disciples, including Chenfei.

Disha.

Tong Tianyang of Disha killed Old Madam Wang.

They could've killed me if I wasn't saved by a capable man.

Disha. Spies.

Then, 48 Strongholds is really in big trouble.

Brother, I want to go home. Uncle Ma.

We should go home for sure.

A'Fei.

I'll join you.

It's getting late, Uncle Ma.

Let's depart now.

All right,...

...but I think Ms. Chuchu and A'Yan should stay.

They don't practise martial arts. It will be dangerous.

Yes. -No. It might not be peaceful...

...here when the stronghold is intruded.

We should travel together.

All right.

Pack up and depart as soon as possible.

Master, Giant Panther of Disha is ready.

All 48 Strongholds guards at the outer gate have been eliminated.

It's either we win...

...or lose.

Inform those below the mountain to take action.

Something happened. Go back to the sentry to warn using the bell.

Report!

Master Zhang, we heard the sound of gong from below the mountain.

I heard it.

Let's do this. Send my order to reinforce security at the gate.

Noted. -The rest shall come with me!

Noted.

Master Gan Tang.

Our scout said Yu Wenzhi departed with his army three days ago.

Did you find out where he headed? -Not yet.

I'm afraid Yu Wenzhi...

...is up to something else.

I have something important to do at the camp in North City.

All right. -Let's go.

Noted.

A'Fei, something happened. We can't enter through the gate.

I know an alternative route. Let's go this way.

Qian Ji has stopped. Charge!

Noted!

Master, this leads to 48 Strongholds.

Why don't you check at the stronghold if you're worried?

No. Follow our original plan and proceed to the camp at north.

Giddy-up.

Giddy-up.

Judging from the wound, it's Ming Feng.

That's why their spies below the mountain turned against us.

A'Fei, you're strong enough to protect yourself.

Bring A'Yan and others down the mountain to save yourselves.

Stop taking me as a child. I want to go with you.

Uncle Ma, I also want to help you.

No. This is too dangerous.

I can't answer to Mistress Li if anything happens to you.

Uncle Ma, this is A'Fei's home. She can't ignore it.

I won't run this time. I'll stay with you.

Uncle Ma, no matter what the rebels are up to,...

...when Aunt Li is not around, you can only rely on me, I mean us.

When the tree falls, the shade is gone. After what happened,...

...it's dangerous elsewhere.

Uncle Ma.

All right.

Remember to run as soon as...

...you encounter a problem, understand?

Uncle Ma, how did my mother...

...support the stronghold when the third master rebelled?

Although she had already taken charge of the stronghold,...

...without the other elders, it wouldn't have been easy ...

...to unite everyone...

...to fight against the enemy.

Other elders? -That's right.

However, your mother isn't around. There is no leader among us.

I can tell that those stubborn elders won't obey one another.

Let's proceed to the Elders Hall to unite everyone.

All right.

A'Fei, I won't go with you.

We will find out the situation in other places.

We'll act separately.

All right. -All right. That's it.

Come with me.

A'Yan, I'll leave Chuchu to you.

Don't worry. Leave her to me.

Li Sheng, be careful.

Let's go.

A'Fei, you need skills to unite those elders.

You should persuade them.

Even when Qian Ji has stopped, there is no proof against Yu Lao.

Calm down, elders.

Only Yu Lao can stop Qian Ji. "Elder Zhao Qiusheng"

Stop blaming others implicitly.

It's obvious that you're blaming Deng Zhen.

I can tell. "Defence Elder Deng Zhen"

As Defence Elder, Deng Zhen is responsible..

...for explaining the situation. "48 Strongholds Elder Zhang Bolin"

It isn't the time for an argument.

The more we talk, the more members we lose.

Ma, what is going on? Why are you back?

There're outsiders, too. -Uncle Ma, please do us a favour.

Please let A'Fei speak to the elders once you enter the hall.

If you speak the first word for her, you'll affirm her image...

...as a burden, a follower.

It's hard to explain the reason.

The priority is to resolve Ming Feng's rebellion.

The outer gate could've been broken through.

Even the outer gate?

How do you know that Ming Feng has turned against us?

Many of our disciples were killed at the outer gate when we came.

They were killed using Ming Feng skills.

If so, we're surrounded by the enemy.

Brother Deng.

Qian Ji has been closed. The enemy will cross Ximo River.

Li Sheng has rushed to check other sentries.

Can you appoint some disciples as reinforcement?

How dare you take the opportunity to give orders.

Where is Yun Xiao?

Yes. -Activate the backup sentries.

Add more disciples to defend them. Others shall gather here at once.

Get ready to inspect Ximo River.

Launch whistle arrows as soon as you encounter a situation.

Noted.

Whether or not we're in time,...

...it depends on the intruder's strength.

You need to be firm when you speak.

You need to be confident in your words to convince others.

Don't be pushy after getting into the initial state.

You need to be flexible. Remember. You're a junior.

You go to solve the problem, not to make a scene.

Elders.

Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhao.

I was anxious just now. I acted rudely.

Please forgive me.

Forget it.

I would like to see who...

...the rebels could gather.

What should I do if they stay united and perform their duties?

Your mother must have kept the Hall for check and balance.

Therefore, the key is to confront each of them and create alliance.

My mother said you two are the most trustworthy elders here.

We'll count on you two to protect 48 Strongholds.

Your mother is right.

Leave it to us. Don't worry.

Why don't we do this, gentlemen?

Leave the gate and sentries to me and A'Sheng.

As for the large group of enemies at Ximo River,...

...I'll count on A'Fei and all elders.

I didn't teach you to play up to them.

Not bad. You have the talent.

Master Kou. -Master Gu.

This is the layout of Qian Ji in the forbidden forest.

Keep it.

Very well. We'll act accordingly.

The main group is ready to attack from below the mountain.

We'll launch an ambush from the secret forest of Ming Feng.

"This is 48 Strongholds, my home.

We move forward to live. We'll die if we step back.

If worst comes to worst, I'll die.

It's considered a sacrifice."

Gentlemen.

We live in 48 Strongholds.

We're brothers and family!

Now 48 Strongholds is in danger.

Whatever it is, I hope you can set your prejudice aside...

...and protect our home together.

Sure!

The little girl does resemble Mistress Li.

"48 Strongholds"

"Intruders of the forbidden forest will be killed."

A'Yan.

You and Chuchu will stay here.

I want to go, too.

I know you're powerful.

So I'll entrust you with an important task.

Keep Chuchu safe.

"Qian Ji Map"

Let's depart!

All of you, follow my path.

Stop!

Let's go!

Indeed, they've broken past the sentry at the forbidden forest.

Brother Deng.

Are you all right, A'Sheng?

I'm all right. There is constant inflow of men in black.

Judging from their attire, I suppose it's Disha.

Qian Ji wires are strategically plotted and concealed.

How did they simply pass through?

It seems that Ming Feng Sect is colluding with them.

They're informed of the plot in advance.

When they want to enter from here,...

...I think they will launch ambush in teams...

...and reach the centre of the stronghold.

If they succeed, they can surround us with those...

...from Ximo River.

Brother Deng.

I have an idea.

"48 Strongholds"

Who is there?

It's Disha.

Do you know them? -No.

Gentle breeze. It's probably Gu Tianxian.

Giant Panther of Disha.

Disha is outnumbered.

They can hardly fight our capable men.

Gu Tianxian hardly gets a chance when Mistress Li isn't around.

He'll make sure he wins the battle.

Could there be more to come?

Don't bother. I'll pierce him with my spear...

...and cook him!

I'm Gu Tianxian.

Forgive me...

...for coming...

...unannounced.

You're Giant Panther of Disha.

You're courting death.

We want to get rid of you for the martial arts world.

What do you say,...

...Master Kou?

Kou Dan. You've betrayed your elders!

You have no idea.

We have our rules.

To become the new master,...

...one had to show dominance by killing the old master.

"Not only you and Master retired,...

...you went all out to bring me back...

...so that Qian Ji Map wouldn't fall into others' hands."

Leave if you want. I won't stop you.

I'm sure I can't obtain the secret of Ocean Sky Bracelet from you.

My senior died in his sleep.

My seniors were way better than me.

Kou Dan!

We accepted you and offered you shelter.

How dare you turn against us!

When Li Zheng offered Ming Feng shelter,...

...to show sincerity, we offered Qian Ji at Ximo River.

Qian Ji is important.

The core disciples who joined the construction...

...have never left 48 Strongholds.

Since then, we had no choice but to stay in this forbidden forest.

You even used us as doorkeepers.

What is so great about a righteous sect?

Master Zhang, why don't you ask Mistress Li...

...if she is being fair.

I heard the late master of Ming Feng seized his youngest...

...disciple who wanted to leave. It's for Qian Ji's sake.

He spent great effort...

...to groom her as a qualified Ming Feng spy.

Now it seems that you're overly qualified.

You know too much, buddy.

Answer me. Where is Yu Lao?

A'Fei, stay calm.

Leave her to me.

You're no match for her, who has decades of combat experiences.

I know her moves.

Cut the crap. Ming Feng Sect will leave 48 Strongholds from now on.

I'm afraid Mistress Li won't give me what I want.

I have no choice but to keep a few hostages to negotiate.

Zhou Fei, you're back at the right time.

Hold on.

It's not your turn to fight when I'm here.

Watch how I teach her a lesson.

You sound so arrogant.

Master Kou, let me fight you!

Zhou Fei, I haven't tested your Poxue Skills.

I'll let you test it now.

Interesting.

Watch out! That's Misty Needle!

You respond fast. That's Misty Needle.

I'm glad it's thick enough.

Watch that hook!

Are you wielding Poxue Saber?

Yes.

Ms. Fei is very skilful.

Report!

Master Zhao.

There is suddenly a large group of intruders...

...from everywhere below the mountain.

I've witnessed the power of Qian Zhong and Southern Saber.

It's been a worthy trip.

I respect you all, heroes,...

...but frankly speaking,...

...when we fought just now,...

...elites of Gray Wolf had come up quietly.

Gray Wolf will plunge everyone into misery and suffering.

I don't want meaningless sacrifice.

Why don't we sit down and talk in peace?

Isn't it great to put an end to a battle?

Retreat!

Thanks to your brilliant idea,...

...we can fight so many of them.

Ming Feng has occupied our outer gate and entrance.

Our next crucial step...

...is to reclaim the entrance.

By the way, A'Sheng. I had no time to ask A'Fei at Elders Hall.

Where are Old Madam Wang and Chenfei?
