♫ Pushing open the windows and looking out, the scenery is breathtaking ♫

♫ The beauty of the spring flower is unforgettable ♫

♫ Lush and ruthless, but always fascinating ♫

♫ Getting drunk alone, I temporarily forget your scent ♫

♫ Beside the broken bridge, loneliness hid under the rocks ♫

♫ The liveliness belongs to the passerbys ♫

♫ Drowning my sorrows with wine, the prosperity can't hide the sorrow ♫

♫ I'm left with the deep feelings alone, missing you with nothing to rely on ♫

♫ I don't wish to admit that this was just a dream ♫

♫ I don't want to see the separation, everything for naught ♫

♫ Past midnight, I allow the sound of the flute to ponder upon the past ♫

♫ I'm drunk tonight, hugging the shadow to sleep ♫

[Episode 5]

Sir Fuyi is here.

Who is that?

- Goodbye. - Get him!

- Wait, stop chasing him. Go check the pearl. Quick. - Yes, sir!

Quick.

Brother, don't worry, the pearl is still here.

Is this a trap?

Go and get them.

(Fighting noises)

(Fighting noises)

(Fighting noises)

Thank you for leading us in the right direction. Retreat!

Go.

Sir!

What's the matter?

Bad news. Xia Chunyu took the box.

Master, why did you ask me to put on this show?

This Chen Yang is a mole sent by Bai Chongye.

I never removed him because I wanted him to give me the chance to lure Bai Chongye out.

That Xia Chunyu is now the Black Wind Fortress's

Third Master.

Bai Chongye definitely will send him to steal the pearl.

Then, I will use that opportunity to kill him.

So glad they came.

In the third Yongxing year, Master Wuliang and Tian Yazi met each other in Shangshui,

where they played instruments together and took each other as confidants.

That is why Master Wuliang drew this painting.

Since it's your birthday, Older Brother, I worked hard to get this painting for you.

Happy birthday!

I don't think they'll catch up now.

Third Master, you got the pearl so easily with your trick of deception.

You are brilliant.

Brothers, be careful!

I can't believe my trick

was defeated by Minister Ye's trap.

Defeat them!

Song Qi!

- Third Master! - Hurry, let's go.

Go after them!

Go!

Third Master, I will only slow you down. Go on by yourself.

Is this something brothers can say?

Third Master, I am only a servant, but you treat me as a brother?

Stop wasting your breath. They're catching up, let's hurry to safety.

Hold on for a bit more.

Eldest Brother, why are you here?

Everyone is waiting for you to celebrate.

Have Xia Chunyu and the others departed?

They left a while ago. Also, Fourth and Fifth Brothers should soon have the pearl.

Eldest Brother, are you regretting it?

No. Go drink with the other brothers, I'll come later.

Yes.

Second Brother,

if anything unfortunate happens to Xia Chunyu tomorrow, hold a grand elaborate funeral.

Eldest Brother, you are too kindhearted.

Xia Chunyu is a mole. He deserves to die!

The position of Third Master remains.

Fourth and Fifth Brothers will vie for that position.

If one of them is successful this time...

I don't know why,

but I always think the title of Third Master is cursed.

From now on, Black Wind will never again have a Third Master position.

- What? - Go now.

All right.

Madame Ye, your pearl hairpin is certainly quite special.

That's only natural.

Madame Jia, you have a good eye, too.

The hairpin itself really is nothing that special.

The important part is its pearl.

A pearl like this, even if you held it under a bright lantern,

you will find it second to none.

It truly is pretty good. It's just not that shiny.

Our Master said

that these kinds of old pearls

are all like this.

Pearls are extravagant.

Unlike some people, who wear gold and silver.

How inferior and unoriginal!

- Let's go. - Oh? You're leaving so quickly.

Take care. Madame Zhao,

what is so good about flowers? I have something nicer to look at.

Chen Yang? Why are you here?

Why do you think?

You— What do you want? Quickly go call for help.

I'm telling you, Chen Yang... My master

won't let you go.

What do you want? I don't have money.

How about, when Master returns he can—

But you have this hairpin.

Really, Chen Yang, I treated you so well!

Return it to me! You—

I don't want it anymore.

Please leave.

Madame, since you recognized me,

I'm afraid it won't be that easy today.

Rest assured, Chen Yang. I didn't see anything.

I didn't see anything!

However, we're afraid that Minister Ye

will come after us in revenge.

So it looks like we will have to do something to you!

She faints just like that? No fun at all.

What a bore.

So? There's not much you can do to escape now.

I am afraid I'm going to have to let you down, Minister Ye.

If you come any closer, I will light it and we can all go and burn in hell.

Looks like you have already made preparations.

Minister Ye, whenever I am afraid,

my hands will shake violently.

You won't set it on fire. Once you do, both of you will also die.

You are going to die just the same.

Minister Ye, you cherish your rich life but I'm only a rotten good-for-nothing commoner.

It will be well worth it to die with you.

You truly are a desperate bandit that's willing to risk his life.

Even a desperate bandit wants to live.

Please give me another chance instead of pushing me to do something drastic.

Bad news! Madame has run into distress in the manor.

The organizer of the attack was Chen Yang.

Chen Yang? He was sent by the Black Wind Fortress.

- How is Madame right now? - She is well,

but she has been badly frightened.

And her pearl has been stolen.

How dare you Xia Chunyu!

You allied with Bai Chongye to trick me.

It's not like that. Minister Ye, you also know that Bai Chongye is clever.

You and I both have been tricked by him.

Don't waste time on me.

Fine.

Today, I will let you know

- who the boss is in Nan'an City. - Come, then!

Come!

All right, I'll spare your lowly life today. Retreat!

Third Master!

According to legend, two scholars Fan and Zhang, were good friends.

Every year, they promised to meet each other on the Double Ninth Festival to see the chrysanthemums together.

When the day of the Double Ninth Festival came, Zhang waited for a long time,

but Fan did not show up until midnight.

When the dawn of the next day came, no matter how Zhang tried to convince Fan to stay,

Fan kept insisting on leaving.

Zhang could not understand why and Fan tearily decided to tell him the truth.

The reason was this, Fan forgot about their appointment to see the chrysanthemums because he was busy.

When he did remember, it was already too late.

A person cannot travel one thousand miles in a day, but a ghost could.

So Fan killed himself

and became a ghost in order to keep his promise to Zhang.

Later, people named this liquor, "Chrysanthemum Appointment"

in honor of Fan and Zhang's deep bond of friendship.

Fan's willingness to kill himself rather than break his word is truly admirable.

It's such a pity that the person who met Zhang was a ghost

and not a person.

Happy Birthday!

Third Brother, you are back!

In the Chrysanthemum Appointment, a ghost traveled a thousand miles.

Why didn't you ask me whether I was a person or a ghost?

It's good that you were able to return.

I don't feel good at all.

How did you know that Ye Binghuai gave us false information?

Ye Binghuai is backed by Minister Gao, Minister Qiu's rival.

So Ye Binghuai certainly wouldn't send this pearl to Minister Qiu.

Doing one thing under the cover of another. You truly are clever.

Shilin's Xie Wanchou

used to be the Prince's most favored.

However, he disobeyed the Emperor's will, so his entire family was to be killed.

On the other hand, his son, Xie Qianfan, was a mystical person.

Along with his well-known xiao flute skills, his martial arts skills were invincible.

He is still alive.

No wonder you said that Ye Binghuai isn't worthy of putting on your shoes.

He truly isn't worthy.

So even if I am Xie Qianfan,

does Xie Qianfan deserve to die?

You were hiding a secret and not being honest. How could I not be suspicious?

Why did you come to the Black Wind Fortress?

When you first met me, I already told you

I was an outlaw.

I just came to a new place to get a new identity, just to get a new beginning is all.

Sadly, you had bad luck.

Xia Chunyu was the son of Lord Jing'an who passed away years ago.

How were you able to find this art piece?

This was originally the gift I was going to give you.

I searched thousands of places, but it was not there.

"When the sun sets from an angle, the sunlight hits the sparkling water."

The character for "crooked" (xie) represents "to thank". (T/N: xie, same as his surname and word for angle).

I know.

And yet you still got nervous and wanted to kill me.

I, Bai Chongye, have been able to get this far now,

only because of the cautious boat I take.

I don't think I am wrong.

How could Master Bai of Black Wind be wrong?

If there's anything that's wrong, it's because I am the Third Brother of Black Wind.

I'll take my leave.

Hold on.

I heard Xinyi Court's Ding Qi is looking for you.

This has nothing to do with you.

As long as I give a command,

you won't be able to make it in or out of Black Wind.

Bai Chongye!

Hurry and call Doctor Dong!

Eldest Master, I'll take my leave.

Chunyu.

In the end, our brotherhood is held together by fate.

But if you are still holding a grudge against me,

when your wounds heal and you still decide to leave, I won't stop you.

Rest and take care of your wounds.

Oh and by the way,

I really like the birthday gift you gave me.

Master Wuliang is a rare item, as is Tian Yazi.

Subbing and Timing brought to you by the Ancient Modern Chef Team @Viki

Ye Jinxuan!

Where did you go?

You still remember that you locked me in there for the whole night.

- Why are you here? - Take a guess!

You sure are fearless.

You lit a fire so that someone would release you after seeing the smoke.

Bingo!

I am very smart, but you aren't that dumb either.

I don't think you've self-reflected much. I should keep you locked up a few more days.

I haven't self-reflected enough?

This whole night I didn't do anything and sat there reflecting the whole time!

Come, come! Let me show you the result of my self-reflecting!

Hurry, hurry, hurry! Come over here and see!

Look. Quickly come and look!

The result of my self-reflecting...

is to give you a surprise!

My handsome husband, I like to ensure equality between men and women.

If you lock me up once, then I'll have to lock you up once, too!

Tonight enjoy your self-reflection!

Oh, by the way! You won't be able to light a fire tonight!

Because I've already taken away all the firewood!

Strange. Why isn't he yelling?

No way, I didn't even push him that hard!

He must be trying to trick me again.

Hey! Wake up! Stop pretending!

Wake up, wake up!!

Stupid Donkey, I didn't do it on purpose!

Wake up please, Stupid Donkey!

Next step! Next step, next step... Oh, right, right.

No, no, no, no, no.

Oh yes, this one.

This won't work either...

Never mind, never mind, never mind...

Why do ancient people wear clothes in such a complicated fashion?

Wow!

Are these the so-called

broad chest muscles?

Ai-ya, Ye Jiayao!

How could you take advantage of him? Aren't you a pure young lady?

But he's the one who punished you. You should make his blood flow like a river.

Never mind, never mind. For the sake of his good-looking face,

I shall forgive him.

You don't say though,

he has such a tall nose, such thick eyebrows,

and such long eyelashes!

How could there be an ancient man that looks so handsome?

He looks like who? Like that Thai lakorn star, Thassapak Hsu! (the actual actor)

Aiyo, why didn't I notice that before!

Who did you say I look like?

You... You acted like you fainted on purpose!

You just wanted me to carry you home, right?

Then what was it you just wanted to do?

Nothing. I just wanted to help you put on some medicine. That's it. You should thank me!

A really tall nose, huh?

Thick eyebrows, huh?

Long eyelashes, huh? How are you ancient people so good looking?

You were eavesdropping!

You were speaking so loud, even deaf people could hear it!

Fine, so what if I said so!

But you are my husband.

You are my husband, so I have the right to admire you...

and your body.

Aren't you a chaste lady? Why are you saying rash silly things like that?

I have even more rash things to do!

Hey!

- What are you trying to do? - Take good care of my husband.

Yiyi.

What brings you here? How is your wound.

It's fine.

Our plan succeeded.

Have a seat.

This was such a dangerous risk. Was it really worth it?

What if you really...

Bai Chongye heard about Xie Qianfan from you

and so he was going to kill me right away. So I was already prepared for it.

Actually, you could have chosen any other identity.

Be it Wang Chunyu, Li Chunyu...

just not Xia Chunyu. So that way he wouldn't have been able to figure out who you were.

Bai Chongye never stops until he has reached his goal.

Thankfully, there is this Prince Xie,

who coincidentally also likes to play the xiao flute.

Bai Chongye never would think that

I am not the real Xie Qianfan but the real Xia Chunyu.

Now,

you are getting closer to some clues.

Prince Yu said that

the Emperor never liked the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince has recently done quite a few ridiculous things.

The Emperor has also recently abolished his position.

So that means,

there might be a day that...

There are many different rumors going around the palace.

Prince Yu is also becoming worried. I have to find an answer for him quickly.

And as for this time when I borrowed Xie Qianfan's identity.

There seem to be too many unusual coincidences.

How is that?

The Xie family has always had good relations with the Crown Prince.

But several years ago, at the time of the Xie family's incident,

the Crown Prince did not save them but even added fuel to the flames.

Bai Chongye believes you are Xie Qianfan

so he wanted to remove the source of the trouble.

That is to say that...

he might really be siding with the Crown Prince?

But in the very end, he set me free.

And that means that our speculation was wrong.

Was he really just upset that I did not tell him the truth?

Whatever the reason,

your position will become even more dangerous.

The closer you get to the truth, the harder you will be able to get away.

Isn't this what we have always planned for a long time?

But I really am worried about you.

I will take care of myself.

I heard that you locked up your new wife.

You shouldn't do that as a man.

You don't need to scold or make fun of me.

If I am guessing correctly,

it was because your disguise is as an outlaw

and you didn't want her to get hurt, so you purposely locked her up.

It is better to have one less thing to worry about.

It looks like you have her in your heart.

Ye Jinxuan and I have just been tied up together for show.

But after all,

I do owe her. I just hope that after all of this,

she can get away unharmed.

It's late, you should go back and rest.

Yiyi.

Thank you for everything that you have done for me.

Between us, there is no need to say thanks.

If you had not shown up that snowy night,

how would I have been able to live until now?

You didn't tell all of that to Bai Chongye, did you?

There needs to be some truth amid all the lies

in order for him to believe you.

That is actually what you taught me.

Little Manager Shen, how can you still work with your injury? Have a seat.

Open up.

That's not okay, Nainai. You can't serve me like this.

Why can't I? Sit down!

Will you listen to me or not?

Because you are such a cute boy, I can serve you.

Aiya, even Little Manager Shen has a day like this. It really is amazing.

How is Third Master doing?

If it weren't for you, he probably wouldn't have come back.

This is all my fault, I'm not any good. I shouldn't have come back alive.

Since I was a child to now, you and Third Master have treated me the best.

I don't even know how to repay my gratitude.

Don't cry, I just fed you a spoonful of porridge.

Stop crying now. I'll give you a chance to repay me.

As long as I call you "Little Manager Shen" in the future, you have to reply with,

"I'll give you ¥10,000,000!" What do you think?

I'll give you ¥10,000,000!

So cute!

But I don't have that much money...

I know you don't have that much money!

But... letting me "wai wai" about it will make me happy!

What does "wai wai" mean?

"Wai wai" is... dream.

- Dream! - Dream?

Your dream is to "wai wai,"' and my dream is to fulfill your "wai wai."

That's right, that's right! Little Manager Shen, "Show time!"

Sh... Sh... Sh...?

Please begin your performance!

- I'll give you ¥10,000,000. - If you don't have ¥10,000,000,

- what do I do? - I'll give you another ¥10,000,000.

- To the left audience. - I'll give you ¥10,000,000.

- To the right audience. - I'll also give you ¥10,000,000!

- To the front audience. - I'll give you another ¥10,000,000!

- To the back audience! - I don't have any more money...

"Wai wai"!

Nainai, your dream definitely will come true!

That's all right, that's all right!

A pure milk and natural rose petal bath...

Being rich is nice.

This much milk, it would cost my monthly salary.

Aiya...

In half a month, I can go home!

I really don't want to leave such a handsome husband.

Stupid mule, with my flirting skills,

I'll definitely get you!

Help me! Help me! Help me!

Save me.

Don't come near me! Don't come near me!

Help me! Help me!

Why didn't you say you were taking a bath?!

Snake! There's a snake!

Stop lying to me!
