[Bloody Romance]

Three days after the snake creeper was planted into the prince

Gong Zi.

News has arrived from the capital.

It's said that Cha Luo has already entered the palace.

I will go there and look.

But, Gong Zi, your body..

It doesn't matter.

Today is the Ghost Festival. Will you accompany on a stroll through the small town?

If you like it, we will also buy one.

The people in my village said

Sky lanterns are also called posterity lamps.

They have to be sent with the person you love.

I understand.

That person is not me.

In this world, there is someone who will care for Gong Zi a hundred times more than I do.

Is this your way of rejecting me?

If I genuinely like a person,

I definitely won't let them go easily.

Let us separate here. You should return to Guihua City while I go to the capital.

You haven't crossed over your life or death crisis yet. I won't leave you.

But Cha Luo has suddenly entered the capital and how Guihua City will move isn't clear.

You have to go back.

The past few years, I have experienced many life and death situations with the prince.

Some affections

Are not the feelings between a male and female, but they also exist.

I won't leave you at a time like this.

If I say that Chang An is in danger now,

will you still not leave me?

I had Yue Ying to instigate Liu Guang and Cha Luo.

If nothing unexpected happened, Liu Guang at the present moment will have already fallen into a trap.

He will be relying on Chang An to resist Cha Luo.

At this moment, he ought to already have been attacked by Cha Luo.

You understand Cha Luo's temperament the best. Since Chang An has done this sort of thing,

He is bound to be buried with him.

Liu Guang.. he didn't do anything wrong!

He blocked your path. That's his fault.

Then what about Chang An?

Chang An.. he is someone you like. I don't like him.

You can think carefully right now about our mutual affection

And whether it has risen above these things

And whether it has risen above your shadow. ♫ Who will care? That we're short one step? ♫

If you want to go save him right now, you can still make it. I've already prepared a horse for you. ♫ We'll still be forced to give up ♫

♫ The embroidered clothes wait for the war drums ♫

♫ Deserving to hold strength of character ♫

♫ Who will concede defeat to the hardships of the road? ♫

♫ For a long time entering the Jianghu ♫

♫ Former loneliness becomes a note ♫

♫ Unintentionally passing through a few places ♫

♫ A few small thoughts guide the way ♫

♫ Who will come to guess? Who will come to open up? ♫

♫ The long night's cold becomes concentrated ♫

♫ Voluntarily drinking this cup of blessing ♫

♫ Layer upon layer of unrivaled despair, Don't let go ♫

♫ Come and wait again ♫

Is becoming my woman so difficult for you?

In this life, you'll have many women.

Although I come from a low family background, I don't want to become one among your many women.

I really like you. I don't see you as a play thing.

I like you in that way that means wanting to spend our lives together

Because he loves you, he was all along unwilling to dig out your heart.

Finally, he had no alternative but to take the Firefox.

But in your eyes, from the start I never saw that light

like when you look at Chang An.

You just took it that I was doing all of this

just for myself. You don't need to pity me.

♫ The dancing winds of early spring bring warmth ♫

Gong Zi and I together experienced many life and death situations. ♫ The red line wind causes envy ♫

Going through life and death there is some mutual affection, even though it isn't the love between man and woman. ♫ Crows and sparrows stand in great numbers and live silently. ♫

But it will always exist. ♫ As the journey home was cut short, ♫

♫ Staying results in loneliness. ♫

♫ Former loneliness becomes a note ♫

[Grand Tutor Mansion]

[Xi Empire's Grand Tutor Yue Qingya's Tomb]

[Yue Qingya]

Grand Tutor Yue's funeral arrangements,

Gong Gong did them himself. You worked hard.

The Prince shouldn't say that.

I am only a slave that serves the king with all of my heart and strength.

How would I dare to take it upon myself to work hard for two masters?

Actually, prince,

It's been said that you previously went to the southern border.

You must have been travel-worn for the entire journey.

Your complexion seems to be somewhat poor.

I went to my mother's hometown to pay my respects to my mother.

This is all the filial piety of a son.

Gong Gong (eunuch) does not need to be inconvenienced by worry.

The carriage of the king has arrived.

I, your servant, bow in greeting to the king.

My royal older brother is being overcourteous. Stand up.

Thank you, king.

Seeing as you're covered in dust from your travels, you haven't returned to the prince's mansion to rest yet.

As soon as I entered the capital, I heard the news about Grand Tutor's death.

I know that Grand Tutor was always your right-hand man (T/N: left shoulder and right arm).

Therefore, I specifically rushed over to pay my respects.

[Xi Empire's Grand Tutor Yue Qingya's Tomb]

Older brother, but you know

My affection for the Grand Tutor

was not just that of a ruler and his minister.

I understand.

Ever since Emperor Father entrusted me with the Grand Tutor,

the Grand Tutor has always been the one who led the way for me.

But up till now I still haven't found out who murdered the Grand Tutor.

I'm indebted to the Grand Tutor.

If the Grand Tutor has a soul

and knows about the King's feelings he would be content.

Who is burning paper offerings?

Answering the King, that is the Grand Tutor's right hand man. The Grand Tutor had no heir.

So we had to let him stand watch by the coffin.

Without a child, without property

at the end the lonely Grand Tutor

didn't even have a decent person to keep watch by his coffin.

If the King doesn't object, I would be willing to keep watch for the Grand Tutor.

[Grand Tutor Mansion]

Gong Zi. Eat something.

A filial son keeping watch is not allowed to eat.

I investigated, and there are no spies here in the palace.

I had all the government people withdraw.

There is no harm in eating something.

But don't you think

I should be here guarding?

[Xi Empire's Grand Tutor Yue Qingya's Tomb]

This handful is to salute his coldness and ruthlessness.

He sent my mother to the sacrificial altar.

This handful

is to salute his forcing

my eyes to be blinded.

Gong Zi.

This handful is to salute his viciously and mercilessly

forcing me to eat the flesh of my wet nurse.

In this way of saying it,

this pile on the ground isn't enough to burn.

Actually I understand.

With your own hands killing your own.

It's certainly hard for your heart to bear.

My father

there's no easy way to evade it.

Those two words (my father) don't hurt me.

Actually, in some ways,

he and I are pretty similar.

I think you are a bit more like City Master Lan.

My mother said my eyes looked like his.

So she always didn't like my eyes.

At least drink some water. You'll lack strength otherwise.

His body is not in this coffin.

Yes.

I already had someone sink his body in the bottom of the river.

So there's really nothing very difficult.

I will at least fulfill the promise I made with my mother.

Then Gong Zi should salute City Master Lan with this cup of tea.

For City Master Lan, Gong Zi should take care of himself.

Wan Mei said on this earth

there really is another who sincerely cares for me.

Miss Wan Mei has returned.

This time you set out with Gong Zi.

Is it possible you completed your mission?

Gong Zi just took me to Nanjiang to sacrifice to his mother.

In passing we just handled a few small matters.

There was no mission.

Really? Fine then. Don't kneel.

Get up.

Thank you, City Master.

While you were away from Guihua City,

there was a little problem. Did you hear?

I don't know.

Liu Guang was surprisingly laboring under a delusion.

She wanted to challenge for the City Master position.

After she lost she was killed as an example.

Liu Guang was like my own sister.

Actually she cared about power and wanted instant success.

She wanted to take the field this way.

Do you want to know my heart? It's very painful.

City Master, restrain your grief.

Forget about it. It's all in the past. Don't bring it up again.

What I should talk to you about is Chang An.

This time when you left he simply switched to follow Liu Guang.

He stepped forward as her representative in this challenge of the City Master.

Now he's already been locked up in the torture chamber.

Reporting to the City Master, a few days ago, Chang An had already betrayed Guihua City.

Torture chamber master, how can you be this lacking in fun?

I was only joking with Miss Wan Mei. Why are you butting in?

I was wrong. I said too much.

Miss Wan Mei, you can stop worrying.

Since Chang An has already given his allegiance to someone else,

So his betraying Guihua City

Has nothing to do with you.

City Master is lenient. I have already expressed my gratitude.

Miss Wan Mei. This letter was sent by the Tingzhu Courtyard.

You should know what's written inside.

If you wish for me to know, then you'll naturally tell me.

You are indeed more and more sensible.

The prince really is insightful about people.

This letter says

To let you receive the responsibility of participating in a fight to the death.

What do we do?

In regards to ability and wisdom, Miss Wan Xiang wouldn't lose to you.

Even if I want to hear the prince's opinion,

But I must not disregard the popular feeling of those in Guihua City.

As this situation is so important, you must be cautious.

No matter what the ultimate decision is, I will have no complaints.

Chang An. I'm ready. ♫ I perform the zither, as if you are standing behind me. ♫

What about you? ♫ The rain falls while I foolishly wait for you. ♫

After Chang An left Guihua City, he met with Ruan Niang and gathered the latest generation of Taiping to prepare a rebellion.

Young Master, how could you do this type of manual labor?

This isn't something you should be doing with your status.

Young Master?

You are a lord. My calling you young master is what I ought to do, isn't it?

I already contacted all of former subordinates of those who gave allegiance to Taiping's descendants.

I told them that the wordless imperial order has reappeared. They have all responded.

Where should we go next? What should all of the following steps be? You have to plan ahead.

How many are willing to meet with me altogether?

There are only 5. But they are reign over various regions and have set up independent regimes as vassal state kings. There are sufficient soldiers to support your independence.

Okay. Let them meet me at Jiang City.

Jiang City? Isn't that located in the flooded region?

Yes, this is precisely why I want them to go there.

Miss Wan Mei. I am Jigu Pavilion's Liu Chi and I am here to give you a gift.

This is Yue Ying stone. It has benefits for circulating breath.

You can wear it on your waist. When you're using your inner strength,

You'll realize its benefits even more.

I haven't gone on any missions recently.

Where did this gift come from?

This is a gift from Jigu Pavilion. In the future, it seems as though you'll be needed.

Jigu Pavilion is ready to risk life and limb to help you.

What virtue do I have?

You have a good shadow. Chang An's mutual affection for Pavilion Master Liu Guang

Is something that Jigu Pavilion will never forget.

While the Pavilion Master was alive, she said that Chang An's sole request

Was for Jigu Pavilion to stand by your side.

I have another wish, which is to ask you,

If you can continue to the courtyard for the battle to the death and promptly continue to Guihua City.

Stand up first.

If you don't agree, I won't get up.

We are the same as Pavilion Master Liu Guang.

We all see Guihua City as our family.

Now, only if you continue on to Guihua City

Do we have hope.

Don't worry. As today has drawn closer, I have grown more aware

That everyone has their own mission.

I cannot promise you anything.

But regarding the things that should be mine to undertake,

I will never again evade them.

On the outside, I became accustomed to spartan living. The dishes...there are a bit too many.

Because you suffered so much in the past, now you have to properly take care of yourself.

Greediness

Sometimes only backfires.

It would be better for you to just say it.

We're competing in the ability to make discerning judgments and also competing in skill.

You've been hungry too often from the time you were a child into adulthood. Your digestive organs are not good.

You should eat fewer hot peppers. So long as you pay attention in the future, you can nurse yourself back to good health.

Miss Wan Mei. The City Master is calling you to Chuixing Tower. Let's go.

Liu Guang has already been gone for a number of days.

Even if I am still grieving and feeling sad,

The place in this battle to the death cannot continue to be empty.

If we base it off of the good and bad from past missions that were completed,

Then Wan Xiang is the best candidate.

But Wan Mei

Also has Tingzhu Courtyard's letter of recommendation.

Making this decision is really difficult for me.

As it is difficult to distinguish the outcome of the battle, it is better to have a fair competition. Guihua City also has a precedent.

What are you competing in? Martial arts?

You have only learned Tingzhu Courtyard's teachings,

It is unavoidable to bully Miss Wan Xiang a little.

Since you're speaking this way, surely City Master has already made a decision.

It would be better for you to just say it.

Why don't I give you a test question?

Miss Wan Mei, listen and see

If you find it fair and just.

The red magic umbrella that is hanging on the outside of this Bi'an Chamber

Has been Guihua city's directory over the years.

In three days, you will draw lots in the Bi'an Chamber and the person whose name you draw

Will be the senior whose red magic umbrella you must take.

Whoever gets the umbrella first will win.

Is this agreeable to you both?

We're competing in the ability to make discerning judgments and also competing in our skill.

This question that you've proposed, City Master, is really brilliant.

Then I'll take it as you both agree.

Wan Mei and Wan Xiang, I'll see you in three days at the Bi'an Chamber.

Always in the past Liu Guang regarded Guihua City as her family.

She was too naive. Guihua City

was never anyone's family.

It is just a place to settle down and get on with your life and that's all.

Then as for the Torture Chamber Master, is it just a place to settle down and get on with your life?

I'm a shadow. Where the Master is,

I am there too. I have no choice.

I'm afraid the Torture Chamber Master doesn't believe those words himself.

You came here just to ask me why I'm staying in Guihua City?

I just want to say.. we are different from Liu Guang.

Her wish was that after dying she could enter the rebirth pool.

But her red demon umbrella

will forever hang outside the Bi'an Chamber.

I ask the City Master to take back her order. Don't expose her corpse.

That's all in the past. Miss Wan Mei should look after herself.

Think about whether in two days you can win in the Bi'an Chamber.

Older Sister.

Miss Wan Mei.

You can all go down first.

Yes, miss.

Is there something the young lady needs?

What I want has some difficulties.

What I said at your place the other day was serious.

I want a red demon umbrella that's already drunk the blood of over ten men.

I have.

I also need a true gold braided umbrella.

But that's not Master Liu Guang's ability.

I'll get someone to weave it right away. I guarantee I'll sent it to you by midnight tonight.

Older sister, are there a thousand eyes watching here?

There are, but you can be at ease.

Jigu Pavilion has lasted in Guihua City for so many years.

This little thing won't leak out.

That isn't what I meant. I meant to say

These things I want, especially the flowing gold umbrella,

at the necessary time can you let the thousand ghost eyes have a little bit of a clue?

Torture Chamber Master.

What are you doing with this?

The Chamber Master thinks?

Liu Guang's umbrella has already been broken. The City Master herself broke it.

Even if the umbrella Jigu Pavilion gave you wasn't so inferior, you simply won't be able to deceive the City Master.

Apparently I guessed right.

Liu Guang's Red Demon Umbrella

isn't hanging outside Bi'an Chamber at all.

Even if that's the case, what does this have to do with you?

Yesterday I thought all night. If I were the City Master,

how could I, in the middle of this competition make me lose for certain?

The best way is to let me find

an umbrella that absolutely didn't hang outside the Bi'an Chamber.

That is just your guess.

You understand the City Master more than I do.

Drawing you over here today, besides verifying my guess,

I also want to make a business deal with you.

I am incapable of betraying the City Master.

Betrayal is out of the question.

Liu Guang's red demon umbrella. right now is surely with you.

You just need to repair it and give it to me. That's all.

Afterward?

Afterward I will fulfill Liu Guang's wish.

In front of everyone in Guihua City.

I'll let her red demon umbrella hang upside down outside the Bi'an Chamber.

You entered Guihua City at 15 years of age.

Other than the City Master

Liu Guang was your last old friend.

If you don't say anything

I'll take it as your tacit consent.

You and the City Master are entirely different.

She has never understood how to make a psychological attack.

[In Wan Mei's home town, Jiang City]

[They prepared to rebel against the Late Tang]

♫ What year, what month before we can meet again?. ♫

♫ To take one dream and cut it into two swords. ♫

♫ Thousands of different kinds floating, a single peach blossom umbrella. ♫

♫ Wait while I walk to the ends of the earth. ♫

♫ At this moment I've come to make a vow. ♫

♫ To dream of a lifetime's existence ♫

♫ A song to startle the heavens, everyone a zither ♫

♫ To dream of a lifetime's existence ♫

♫ A dance to penetrate the rapture, to read it and be angry ♫

The King of Chu ascends the throne, it is the happiness I've waited for.

We hope the King of Chu will follow the correct path.

Don't lose the opportunity, and soon retrieve

the Wu Emperor's country.

We hope the King of Chu will soon retrieve the Wu Emperor's country.

My duty in this life, I had no choice.

I hope you are at peace, and quietly wait until I'm finished.
