[Episode 5]

14

I have something to confess, father. It was because I was playing around on Zhi Mountain...

15

Chen Army had a chance. Mr. Fan died saving me.

16

Mr. Fan took the bullet for me.

17

Jiang Zuo is facing more dangers.

18

We were all shocked this time, but nothing too bad coming out of it.

19

We won't be so lucky next time.

20

Yes.

21

Father.

22

Third brother, I didn't expect...

23

you could stay so calm this time, and came up with such great strategies.

24

I feel ashamed as your elder brother.

25

You're too kind, second brother. I knew you were going to save me, so I played some tricks.

26

You and father worked together to clear out the disloyal soldiers. That's a truly seamless plan.

27

Li Chongnian rebelled. Mu Rong's family was sitting by...

28

...and waiting for a chance to attack our family.

29

Mr.Fan was assassinated. Tian Meng Association stirred things up.

30

These things all seem to happen for different reasons.

31

But all in all, they are coming for us.

32

You mean, all of this is just a giant trap?

33

Who has the ability to gather all of these forces?

34

It's very complicated out there. You will only confuse yourself looking into it,

35

and might just fall into the trap.

36

I'll say it again: if you take care of the enemies in front of you,

37

the enemies in the back will automatically disappear.

38

Who do you think the enemies in front of us are?

39

Who wants to kill me in Fuyuan City?

40

Please give us instructions. I will get on it right away.

41

Third one. You tell me.

42

Father. Although I haven't served in the army,

43

but I will try my best to investigate, now that it concerns your safety.

44

Good.

45

Yes.

46

I hope I am not disturbing you coming here so late.

47

It's ok. Come on in.

48

Take a seat.

49

You may leave first.

50

I feel sorry for making you come over so late.

51

Sister, you have suffered much.

52

I didn't see you eat. Here...

53

...try this. Might be good to have a change of taste.

54

I know I said the wrong things to hurt the second sister-in-law's feelings.

55

It's normal if she's angry at me.

56

Sister, don't overthink this.

57

It's not that I try to comfort you. Our father in law and Mr. Fan are longtime friends.

58

Now that Mr. Fan passed away, our father in law is very sad.

59

The whole family is having a hard time.

60

Sister, you should know this. Don't obsess over it.

61

Third brother, you've been back for a while. Where is Old Song?

62

Second brother, I have been worrying about him.

63

I hurried back on that day when I heard about the assassination.

64

I told Song to bring the army downhills for convenience.

65

I chose a smaller path.

66

I think Officer Song wished to avoid Li Chongnian,

67

he's probably still on the way.

68

What a great plan. You're truly Mr. Fan's student.

69

Second brother, don't praise me.

70

I still have to rely on you for the investigation.

71

Don't be such a smarty-pants. You trying to cheat?

72

This move that Marshall made is pretty clever.

73

Clever? He's just trying to find an excuse,

74

asking me to investigate the murder,

75

and get rid of the Tian Meng Association.

76

Second young master, if this is before,

77

it would be your own business, out of question.

78

Now he included the third brother into this.

79

The old man is trying to pick one between you and him.

80

I understand. Let him choose. I'm not afraid of comparison.

81

You can say that.

82

It's not so simple, this time he returned.

83

I heard he came back with Min Hongyu.

84

Min Hongyu?

85

An actress? Why would I be afraid of her?

86

You can't say that. Min Hongyu is not famous...

87

...for her acting. It's for her connections.

88

I've heard of that too.

89

This time, the third brother can pass through Li Chongnian's territory.

90

It's all because of this Min Hongyu.

91

This Min Hongyu is a treasure.

92

She's valuable because she's got all the information.

93

Secondly, she's good at judging people's characters.

94

Second young master, how about this?

95

Let's meet this legendary woman.

96

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Siege in Fog Team @ Viki.com

97

You attack but not overcome. You march forward but not enough to reach the goal.

98

On the surface it looks like you're always behind,

99

but actually it means you're flexible.

100

Your skills of using swords have progressed.

101

You praised me too much. It was all because of your great teaching.

102

You don't have to be modest about this.

103

Riding horse, playing ball games, dancing or fencing...

104

...as long as it's about leisure, is there anything you aren't good at?

105

That is true. I have been indulging in having fun. That must have disappointed you.

106

A person's fate is like a cage.

107

If you caged in something, you gain something in return.

108

If you avoid something on purpose, you lose something.

109

I thought your teacher taught you well, and you learned better.

110

Teacher has been very loyal to our family.

111

He taught me so much more than that.

112

Look, as long as the bird gets a chance, it will fly.

113

If father didn't open the cage, it would remain trapped.

114

It all depends on you if the bird flies or not.

115

There are many dangers outside the cage.

116

It might be impossible to return to the old cage...

117

...or to find a new cage.

118

As long as he followed father,

119

he won't, and won't have to consider what's waiting for him ahead.

120

If one can stand the loneliness in the cage, one won't consider the chaos outside.

121

Chairman Zhang, you invited me here.

122

You're half an hour late. Shouldn't you punish yourself with a drink?

123

I should.

124

Uncle, you're the provincial chairman of Fuzhou.

125

Not some random call-girl.

126

You don't have to take anyone's drink.

127

I was just joking. Why are you so serious?

128

If I'm not wrong, you should be the second young master that the chairman keeps talking about.

129

Isn't it too beneath you to come here and see me?

130

Your face is as cold as a statue.

131

Hongyu's mouth...really makes you love it and hate it.

132

Yun Xi.

133

I joined the army when I was very young. I normally only see battles...

134

...horses and weapons. I have no experience around the wine table.

135

Miss Min, forgive me.

136

If you say that, I must make a toast to you.

137

Without you fighting out there, how can we drink and have fun here?

138

Sorry, I am still mourning my father in law. Can't drink.

139

Sister Hongyu, everyone says you're Jiang Zuo's wisdom eyes.

140

I can't hide.

141

I want to ask, what do you see in our second young master?

142

What do you see in the third young master?

143

Sorry, I don't want to be a part of your men's struggle.

144

All you fight for is women and power.

145

Miss Min, you are wrong.

146

I only contend for the world. Not women.

147

He's destined to lose, I can judge from that sentence.

148

Now father asks second and third brothers to find out who killed Mr. Fan.

149

They are both the best of people. Third brother was naughty but smart.

150

What if they turn against each other?

151

There will always be fighting between brothers.

152

When we were young, we fought for games and attention.

153

Now that we are older we fight for power. We fight but we don't hurt each other.

154

One of them has to give in.

155

They fought before and third brother gave up the most valuable thing.

156

But I always feel the third brother doesn't care about anything.

157

People always have things they care about.

158

Sometimes they are just not destined to get them.

159

Some people become obsessed and die for it. Some people become smart,

160

knowing that he can't get it. They give up and live another life.

161

Some people want something but can't ge it. They have to force themselves to drop it.

162

That would become very bitter.

163

You are not going out today?

164

How do we play a loving couple if I go out?

165

It's getting late. Shouldn't you go to bed?

166

I am not tired.

167

Your room smells so good. It really lifts up my spirits.

168

I feel so re-freshened.

169

I thought I was destined to die in a battlefield.

170

Now I keep this calling in my heart. I am willing to sacrifice myself so common people don't suffer.

171

Tian Shu is the key to our mission this time. Yi family is dangerous.

172

We should protect his safety. You should do everything to support him before we achieve our goal.

173

Yes.

174

Tian Shu studied aboard for three years. He will be a good leader in a war.

175

But he's not flexible enough.

176

Is it a good idea to send him to such a dangerous place?

177

Yi family is filled with smart capable people.

178

It looks like the third son has been fooling around these years, but he made a base out of Zhi Mountain.

179

We can't win if we send anyone other than Tian Shu.

180

Tian Meng Association, a group affected by new ideas,

181

longing for revolution and eliminating warlords.

182

After conserving energy for a long time,

183

the first they need to face is the powerful Yi family in Jiangzuo.

184

Master,

185

I am here to drink with you.

186

These years I have been fooling around,

187

I have let you down.

188

I know I am wrong. You saved my life.

189

You taught me all my skills.

190

From now on, I will work hard,

191

not letting you down.

192

When you were still here, I was foolish.

193

I let you worried too much.

194

Master, now you're gone.

195

I will take care of the Fan family.

196

No matter how the situation changes in the future,

197

I will make sure the second sister in law is safe.

198

Second sister in law.

199

It's not good if people see this.

200

Give me your hand.

201

What?

202

Give me your hand!

203

What are you thinking? So focused.

204

Big sister in law. Take a seat.

205

I am admiring the flowers and plants in this yard.

206

It occurs to me, the brothers must be playing a lot here when they were kids.

207

Probably made a few messes.

208

Right. Little boys are naughty.

209

This yard has suffered a lot.

210

The big brother is alright. Lan Po has strange tempers.

211

Second brother is so straight-forward. They must have fought a lot.

212

Of course not. They were very close before.

213

Actually, the third brother respected the second brother very much.

214

He would give all of his valuable things to his second brother.

215

What kind of valuable things?

216

Umm... your big brother didn't tell me. I think probably just antiques or toy guns.

217

Boys' affairs. We don't understand.

218

Maybe.

219

Sit here. I'll go check the herb medicine I cooked for your big brother.

220

Ok.

221

Third young mistress.

222

You're back.

223

Fresh starfruit.

224

Where did you get this? Now that the south is at war. Starfruit this fresh are rare.

225

Tell me about it. A fresh batch came in yesterday. Just these ones.

226

The second young mistress knows the third master likes them. She sent these here.

227

Smells so good. Here, smell it.

228

Where is Lan Po?

229

Why isn't he here at the dinner?

230

He has some work to do.

231

Work? What work?

232

He needs to do that in his dinner time?

233

Umm, it's...

234

Look father, the third brother is here.

235

Father. I am here to say goodbye to you.

236

I am leaving now to go to Chengzhou, looking for the killer.

237

How do you know the killer is in Chengzhou?

238

You have to force the killer to come out. Can't do it by investigating.

239

Our family dinner time is more valuable than your chasing for power and fame.

240

Sit down and eat.

241

Yes third brother, sit down and eat first.

242

Come, eat.

243

Take off your gloves. Where are your manners?

244

What did you do with your hands?

245

Say it!

246

Father, we had a small argument.

247

Come, eat.

248

Yes, eat. Father, try the soup.

249

Nonsense!

250

Anything wrong?

251

Thank you for saving me back there.

252

I know who bit you.

253

Back then, you asked my family to marry me after seeing me only once.

254

I felt strange back then.

255

I am only a small official's daughter.

256

How can you see anything in me?

257

Now I understand. It's been two years.

258

We are only husband and wife in name, but not a couple in truth.

259

It feels about right.

260

You married me to use me as a shield.

261

It's not what you think.

262

If you like Yanyun. You shouldn't give her up to the second brother.

263

You respect the second brother. You shouldn't lie to him.

264

Most importantly, you shouldn't use me.

265

What you see is not everything. I don't love her.

266

What are you trying to say? That you love me?

267

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Siege in Fog Team @ Viki.com

268

What's the matter?

269

The third son has another argument with his wife. He was too upset he had to leave.

270

One is foolish, one is petty.

271

It's normal for young couples to fight.

272

There's no hate that will last till the morning after. Tomorrow morning it will be fine.

273

Master, have a cup of water.

274

If Jixue didn't die so early,

275

he wouldn't have such weird temper.

276

Master, it's all in the past. Don't mention it.

277

Yanyun.

278

Are you blaming me for not offering to go to Chengzhou to investigate the killer?

279

All of my father's life, he was careful and always planning things.

280

He wouldn't have expected getting assassinated.

281

My father was right.

282

You have to force the killer to come out. Not by investigating.

283

I know that.

284

I remember when we were little, you loved to hide and read this book.

285

The third brother liked it too. But you didn't want to give it to him.

286

He filled the book with drawings.

287

Third brother has always had his own ideas.

288

He's not a bad person though.

289

Yes. He's kind. But he's a grown-up,

290

and he still acts like a kid. Not mature at all.

291

With this going on in the family, he still chases after women outside.

292

What did you see to make you so sure?

293

Qin Sang didn't cause the bite marks on his hand.

294

Qin Sang had lip color on.

295

There is no color on the bite mark.

296

That's their own business.

297

Yes.

298

What? You don't have enough alcohol in your own home?

299

We have so much wine in the Yi family.

300

None of it is as tasty as this.

301

My place is like a small temple. You are a big buddha.

302

Are you kicking me out?

303

Why would I kick you out before you pay for the damage of my door?

304

I wanted to ask you, a goddess with a thousand hands and eyes to look after my mansion.

305

I wonder if you're willing or not.

306

It's very aggressive, the way you invite people.

307

But I think...

308

...I can't bear the reputation of being hide as a secret mistress in the golden house.

309

Then I will hide jade (Yu) in my holden house.

310

Hey. Leaving so early in the morning. For work?

311

Uncle. What wind blew you here?

312

East wind. Borrowed by Zhuge Liang.

313

Good. I won't keep you.

314

Good. I'll go first.

315

Wait.

316

I want to ask, has the killer been caught?

317

Uncle, I don't know. Second brother has been following this.

318

Oh. Ok. Good.

319

I have something to take care of. I'll go now.

320

Good. You go.

321

Uncle. You're here just in time. I just got information.

322

Mr. Fan's body was taken away by Cheng Army.

323

I think the killer must be related to Cheng Army.

324

More or less.

325

I got information saying the killer was sent by Li Chongnian.

326

Now with the rumors spreading around,

327

people are getting paranoid. They have been hoping...

328

...your old man can do something to solve their problems.

329

Killer has to be cornered, not by questioned.

330

This is what my father said.

331

But who does my father want to frame this on? I don't have a clue.

332

It's not important who the killer is.

333

What's important is who gets the mission to catch the killer.

334

You and Yanyun should try to have a son sooner than later.

335

That way you can have the heir for sure.

336

Uncle. My father in law is barely even cold.

337

Now Yanyun is in the worst mood.

338

This is not a good time to force her.

339

Stubborn! What if the third one has a son?

340

That wouldn't be good to you.

341

You are overthinking this. The third brother has been a womanizer.

342

But he always hated that his mother was only a concubine. He wouldn't go for trouble.

343

He and Qin Sang don't really have a good relationship.

344

You can't just have a baby out of nowhere.

345

Don't you know your father?

346

All these years, who has he trusted? Who has he helped？

347

Now he's making a big deal out of dead Mr. Fan.

348

It's not up to us to figure out what he's thinking.

349

What are you thinking?

350

You scared me.

351

Here.

352

This is for you.

353

What outdated style!

354

Whose sloppy second is this?

355

Then I'll go shopping with you.

356

You must be asking for something. Spit it out.

357

What game are you trying to get me to play?

358

The play of shopping.

359

Father.

360

I think the killer belongs to Tian Meng Association.

361

Compared to the warlords' struggles,

362

the changing of times is the most fearsome. An article by Wu Yu talked about this "new culture".

363

So called new culture. It aims to eliminate patriarchy.

364

They think the new generation,

365

is here to eliminate the old.

366

Army patriarchy. If the power of army ceases to exist,

367

the patriarchy will be gone too.

368

In their eyes, the last generation's hero will be the next generation's tyrant.

369

Father. You have fought in wars for many years, sacrificed everything for the safety of Jiangzuo.

370

In the end, you were seen as the tyrant of Jiangzuo.

371

So, I think Tian Meng Association,

372

is a bigger enemy than Li Chongnian and Jiang Shuangxi.

373

What are you doing?

374

Sir, how many are you?

375

Is one pot of tea enough?

376

I have many brothers, all very far away. This pot is enough.

377

This pot of tea is enough.

378

The situation is serious here. They have been arresting people here and there.

379

They are saying they are looking for Mr. Fan's killer.

380

Everyone should stay vigilant.

381

Hi Master, we only serve good people here.

382

Anyone suspicous?

383

Thank you master. Thanks.

384

Bei Ji asked me to tell you to make a fuss about Mr. Fan.

385

Oh the third master, you're here.

386

I bring my wife here to look at jewelery.

387

We had a new batch yesterday. There are rings, necklaces and earrings.

388

What do you need?

389

You two know each other so well. No need to be so polite.

390

He's got money. Wrap up the most expensive ones.

391

Ha. So the price is no problem?

392

Yes. Has to be the most expensive ones.

393

That's right. Shopping should be fun.

394

Third master, look at this one and that one.

395

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Siege in Fog Team @ Viki.com

396

Third master, look at this. Your wife is not only beautiful,

397

her skin is so fair. This necklace...

398

...looks so right on her.

399

Don't move. It looks nice.

400

Wrap up your most expensive ones.

401

Where on earth are you bringing me?

402

I take you to meet someone.

403

- Who? - A man.

404

How strange. When you meet women you make a big fuss,

405

but when meeting men you're acting like a thief.

406

Unlike home, it is safe to discuss some things here. Let's go.

407

Let's go.

408

Third master, third lady.

409

Sit.

410

My father doesn't have a clear attitude towards the assassin yet.

411

I don't know what to choose.

412

That's simple. We pick whatever the second master picks.

413

Second brother picked the Tian Meng Association.

414

Now they're already making a fuss, arresting people.

415

We pick the Tian Meng Association too.

416

Tian Meng Association.

417

It's important to pick the assassin.

418

But now there's something urgent in Jiangzuo.

419

- My teacher's funeral. - Right.

420

We still need something important to make the funeral happen.

421

That would depend on you.

422

What can I do? I can only gossip.

423

You want me to talk to the big sister in law?

424

Father.

425

How can it be the Tian Meng Association?

426

The second brother has been arresting members of Tian Meng all over town.

427

You only follow your brother.

428

Father, second brother has thought this through.

429

Go away.

430

What you mean is...

431

...asking me to go back to my hometown, begging my father for Mr. Fan's body back?

432

You are from Mu Rong family. You are able to get the body back.

433

But your big brother doesn't want me to meddle in this thing.

434

Big sister in law, I beg you to help out me and Lan Po.

435

Now the old man is giving him a difficult time with this Mr. Fan thing.

436

The second brother is giving him cold shoulders. He can only take it out on me.

437

So I want to solve this.

438

The old man will be happier. He wouldn't have to stay angry with me.

439

So, I want you to help me.

♬ Your name goes with the wind, floating and drifting away ♬

441

♬ Like a past that couldn't be hidden away completely ♬

442

♬ Love is merely a game of winning or losing ♬

443

♬ Under the heavens, there's only you I am heartless to ♬

444

♬ Your heart becomes a promise ♬

445

♬ Like a camel's bell that cannot be heard ♬

446

♬ In the end, everything has hindered the heart ♬

447

♬ Billowing unceasingly in previous generations and in this lifetime ♬

448

♬ I've locked you and I've locked up my heart too, but I can't lock up awakened dreams ♬

449

♬ There will be no shadow at the other end of the world throughout my life indefinitely ♬

450

♬ I let go of you and I let go of my feelings too, but I can't let go of a decision ♬

451

♬ If I should come to this world once more and be reborn semi-awake ♬

452

♬ The empty well of fate cannot be filled up evenly ♬

453

♬ I cannot ever reach your lonely pavilion ♬

454

♬ Love and hate are constantly awakened ♬

455

♬ It's the fate that cannot be locked up ♬

456

♬ I've locked you and I've locked up my heart too, but I can't lock up awakened dreams ♬

457

♬ There will be no shadow at the other end of the world throughout my life indefinitely ♬

458

♬ I let go of you and I let go of my feelings too, but I can't let go of a decision ♬

459

♬ If I should come to this world once more and be reborn semi-awake ♬

460

♬ If I should come to this world once more ♬

461

♬ and be reborn semi-awake ♬
