♫ 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 21]

What is this?

You see the fruit store there? They have Feng Mi's favorite food, mock strawberries.

Can you let her enjoy eating them once more?

Mock strawberries?

This is the only clue that Zhenzhu left us.

There is another one.

Third Master, there's another over there.

Third Master, here, too.

There are no more.

Third Master, maybe we should get some men here to search house by house.

No, if they still have Zhenzhu,

they will be alerted and it wouldn't be good for Zhenzhu's safety.

Then what should we do?

Song Qi.

Why would that fellow have a knife sharpening stand here?

Normally a knife-sharpener would carry his tools and walk around.

And there are no restaurants or homes, why would he be doing business here?

It does look weird.

Did you also notice, he keeps looking around?

He's not actually sharpening knives. More like keeping watch

and he always keeps an eye on the calligraphy shop.

Song Qi, go.

I understand.

I hope Godfather will find this place after following the strawberries.

Little brat, you're young and have many wicked ideas.

Last time it was you who played innocent

and made me Iose the cake for our court leader.

Speak. What are you planning this time?

Who are you?

I...

[Calligraphy Shop]

Customer, how can I help you?

Give me a stack of raw (untreated) rice paper.

Please wait.

Raw rice paper.

You can't even tell the difference between raw and ripened rice paper?

Sorry, I grabbed the wrong one.

- I don't think that's the case. - What do you mean?

You look to me like a practitioner of martial arts, not someone who sells ink and paper.

You came to the wrong place.

Did I?

I was indeed correct.

Attack.

Did I call you here so you could sleep?!

Third Master, you were right.

We're one step behind again.

First, we chop off the hand, then the feet.

This is for not letting me out!!

Sister-in-Law.

Sister-in-Law, do you have any food?

There is no food if you call me sister-in-law, but there will be food if you call me, Miss Ye.

Miss Ye, then I...

Help yourself.

Are you pregnant?

If you're not pregnant, why are you eating enough for two?

This is because your cooking is so good. Our boss thinks about this every day.

So I'll just pack some up to bring to him.

What a good subordinate.

Miss Ye, you rest early.

Bye-bye.

No...There is something wrong.

Sneaking around... Something's definitely wrong.

Why are you here again?

Go away, I don't want any food.

I will starve myself to death so you can't get anything from me.

Who are you? Why are you locked up in here?

Godmother?

So, it's you. Why are you here?

That bastard Ding Qi said

I ruined his proposal and he will torture me for that.

Godmother, save me.

Don't talk nonsense. Ding Qi wouldn't do something like that.

You little devil, so young yet so mischievous.

Did you do something else wrong?

I didn't really. Ding Qi is a bad person.

This is how he treats a child.

Look, I almost have bloody scars.

This is true...

Godmother.

Don't call me, "Godmother."

Doesn't matter what I call you. Just know that my godfather truly loves you.

That day when you left with Ding Qi, he cried until his eyes turned red.

Please save me.

You're lying again, aren't you?

He wouidn't shed a tear for me.

He just stole Ding Qi's salt. I bet he's over the moon about that.

No, that was Bai Chongye's work.

You have to believe me. Godfather had nothing to do with that.

Really?

As true as my name.

What is happening to you? Don't scare me.

I... I...

I have a lung disease (asthma)...

Every day I need to take medicine...

Tell me. Where is the medicine?

It's in the Black Wind Fortress.

What should I do?

Here, move back, I will find a way to break in the door.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Ding Qi, let him go now. He's having an asthma attack.

Asthma?

You truly are the son of Bai Chongye, huh?

Full of evil tricks and lying without batting an eye.

Godmother, save me.

He is not lying and asthma isn't a joke. Let him go.

This kind of lie would only fool you.

This kid is so smart.

Almost killed me with that rat.

Hey, don't you have that "asthma?"

Yesterday, you didn't take any medicine. Why are you still alive?

If I die,

what would you threaten my father and godfather with?

Godmother, you have to believe me.

Please leave this asshole.

Godmother?

Tomorrow, I'm going to make your father, my godson.

Then she'll be your god-grandmother.

With your skills? You're not even qualified

to hold my godfather's shoes and you want to marry my godmother?

Keep dreaming.

You little bastard, I'm going to kill you.

Hey, what are you doing? He is only a child.

You understand now? He's been lying to you.

You stay there.

Let's go.

You let go of me. Release him first.

The problem is between you two thugs. Why drag the boy into it?

You're committing child abuse!

- Child abuser! - Shut your mouth.

I can just chop you up and feed the pigs.

Stop crying!

Why are you looking at me like that?

It makes me uncomfortable.

Ding Qi, when did you start acting like this?

I've always been like this. I must have treated you too well before.

From now on, you're not allowed to go around freely, in addition to staying here on the mountain.

Are you crazy? Who gave you the right to lock me up?

I'm worried you'll go and ruin my big plans.

You two, take her back and lock her up.

- Yes. - Yes.

- Ding Qi! Ding-- - Let's go.

Ding Qi, if you keep acting this way, we won't even be called friends!

I've never wanted to be your friend.

I just want you to stay longer.

Eldest Brother is setting off for Wuli Bridge soon. I'm going with him.

Didn't he want you to stay out of this?

But this all started because of me.

Even if he wants to hate me, I deserve it.

But if not for him,

you would have gotten back together with Ye Jinxuan already.

What does this have to do with Yao Yao?

Do you know what Sheng Wu's men say behind your back?

They say that you teamed up with Ding Qi to kidnap Bai Zhenzhu to get revenge on Bai Chongye.

That's utter nonsense. Eldest Brother won't be fooled by that.

Bai Chongye stole Ding Qi's salt

and in return, Ding Qi kidnapped his son.

This kind of animosity

will lead to endless disputes between Black Wind Fortress and Xinyi Court.

But you have to know this.

You have nothing to do with any of it, anyway.

You need to only finish the mission that Prince Yu gave you.

Then you can leave with Ye Jinxuan.

I know.

But I need more time. I've searched the entire Black Wind Fortress

and the rare weapon that His Highness described doesn't exist within it.

Besides, I want to find proof that Black Wind Fortress colluded with the Crown Prince.

The connection between them disappeared when Yan Zhongtian died.

Now that Gao Da is the successor to Yan Zhongtian,

I want to find out if he'll be the next liaison.

Take it away. I don't want to eat.

Please eat.

I said I don't want to-- Ah Bing?

You know who I am?

Did you forget?

The last time I was at Xinyi court, I promised to cook for you.

Last time...

Pretty sister, I want a hug!

Don't hug her.

- Why not? - She is a woman.

Women are no good.

Oh... You are that bad sister.

What bad sister? It's pretty sister.

Pretty sister?

Oh, pretty sister, please eat.

Okay.

What is this? Tastes awful.

You...

It's not bad. It tastes great!

You think this tastes good? That means that you've never eaten anything really good.

Yongcui Pavilion's luffa soup.

It's fresh and delicious. Paired with crisp fried pumpkin pastry

and sweet water chestnut soup.

Just thinking about it makes me salivate.

I want to eat that, too.

Look at how gluttonous you are. All right, then.

Here, take this.

Go to Yongcui Pavilion and buy some for me.

- My treat. .- No.

Court Master doesn't allow me to go down the mountain by myself.

Have you asked him why?

That's right.

Because at the bottom of the mountain, there are many things to eat and many playthings.

They told you that because they don't want you to eat delicious food or have any fun.

Really?

You can go see for yourself. Here.

If anyone asks, just tell them this,

"It's so boring on this mountain, so I want to go for a walk."

Remember, never mention your pretty sister. Okay?

Why not?

This is a secret. It's our secret.

Remember, okay? Take this hairpin to Yongcui Pavilion

and buy luffa soup, pumpkin pastry, and sweet water chestnut soup.

Hey.

I want to buy something.

We're not open yet. Go eat somewhere else.

I won't go. I want to eat here.

I want to eat Yongcui Pavilion's luffa soup. It's fresh and delicious.

And fried pumpkin pastry that's crisp.

And sweet water chestnut soup. Thinking about it makes me salivate.

I have the money. I have the money.

You sure know a lot. Then wait until we're open to come eat pumpkin pastry.

No, I won't.

I have to find the vixen and the heartless man! I want to buy my food!

Who are you calling a vixen and heartless man? Go on, get out.

Song Qi.

Don't be so rude.

Third Master, did this idiot alarm you?

Young sir, who sent you here to buy the food?

I can't tell you, it's my secret.

But I have the money.

May I please see your money?

I want to eat luffa soup and pumpkin pastry.

I want to drink sweet water chestnut soup.

Will you give them to me or not?

Eh?

What is this?

The "vixen and heartless man"

was referring to you and I, right?

Yes.

And the pearl refers to Bai Zhenzhu.

Luffa soup, pumpkin pastry,

and sweet water chestnut soup... What does that mean?

I'm certain it's a message from Yao Yao.

Sigua (luffa), nangua (pumpkin), lingjiao (sweet water chestnut).

Si... Nan Ling (Sinan Ridge).

I remember that there's such a place behind Xinyi Court.

That must be where Zhenzhu is locked up.

Song Qi, go stop Eldest Brother.

Tell him that I've already found where they're keeping Zhenzhu.

Make sure he doesn't go to Wuli Bridge by himself.

Yes.

Eldest Brother, everything's packed. Travel safely.

Rest assured.

- Eldest Master. - How brazen! You dare stand in the way of Eldest Brother?

Third Master has already gone to Sinan Ridge to save the young master.

Wuli Bridge is a trap. You mustn't go by yourself.

Didn't I tell him to stay out of this?

He's still the Young Master's godfather.

Forget it. The Young Master was kidnapped on his watch.

Now he's acting like he cares. Get out of the way.

Eldest Master!

- Sheng Wu. - Yes, sir.

Move!

Eldest Master!

Eldest Master!

Eat.

Hey, how can I make you eat? Eat!

Will you eat or not?

If you really want me to eat.

bring me my buddy, Feng Mi.

- What? - My Lightning Rodent.

You must be planning something bad.

Cut the crap, eat first.

I know...

You guys killed Feng Mi! If he's dead, I don't want to live either!

Hey, wait. He is not dead.

I don't believe you!

I don't want to live!

Here, I will bring him to you to prove it.

But you have to promise me that you will eat after you see him.

Yes.

Feng Mi... Feng Mi...

Sob...sob...

Whoa.

You hit me!

Old man, move. Don't get in our way.

You hit me and you are still so aggressive!

Everyone gather around and see this!

He is bullying me, an old man.

Why are you crying for? I didn't even hit you!

You hit him and we all saw it!

Yes, you did it!

What are you doing?

Aiyo!

Who still dares to speak?

Men, clear the way.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Quick.

You are really something.

Godfather, he was obviously pretending.

But we still lost them.

Godfather, rest assured. Your horse and Eldest Master's horse

have been together since they were young. They can smell each other from miles away.

Kid, you sure do have a lot of ideas.

Let's go.

You see? He's doing just fine. Now eat!

Then can you bring him over here and let me take a closer look.

You are crossing the line here.

I haven't seen Feng Mi in such a long time.

Besides, you have him in a cage. He won't bite you.

- Scared like a little girl... - You say that again!

Just bring him over here. I will eat after I take a look.

Just one look.

Feng Mi, why are you so thin?

Is it because they didn't feed you well?

They must have treated you badly like they treat me.

Rubbish! I feed you every day. You just choose not to eat.

- Quickly. - Just one more look.

Where is my teapot?

Feng Mi, attack!

Feng Mi!

Whoa.

Master Bai's arrived.

Where is Ding Qi?

Please change your mode of travel.

The carriage will be full of gold, it'll be quite troublesome to change.

We don't mind the trouble.

Feng Mi.

Feng Mi! You can't die!

Feng Mi... Feng Mi...

You cannot die.

You little bastard!

You killed my Feng Mi!

I-I... I didn't mean to kill you.

You killed Feng Mi. There's no antidote.

I didn't want to kill you.

You were going to die anyway. I didn't mean to.

This is bad. They changed carriages. After them!

Godfather!

You want to die!

Sound of sword fighting

Godfather, I killed someone!

Godfather, I really killed someone. What should I do?

What should I do? I'm so scared.

Don't be scared. I'm here. Get up and let's go.

Brother Tie! Brother Tie!

I know you! You are Xia Chunyu from Black Wind Fortress.

You killed Brother Tie. Men, let's avenge Brother Tie!

Zhenzhu!

Retreat!

Don't chase after them!

Damn it!

We won't catch up to Eldest Brother. What now?

Godfather, look.

Godfather, there are more over there!

Ah, I understand. Eldest Brother must have left this behind.

- You. Go notify the others. - Yes, sir!

The rest of you, follow me!

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

Godfather, I really didn't mean to kill him.

I know. It's all right.

Godfather, I'm still scared.

Don't be. After today, everything will be fine.

No, they are going to kill my father. Go save him!

Zhenzhu.

I will bring your father back.

But now you have to go back by yourself.

Godfather, I want to go with you.

You're very smart. You know that if you come along with me,

you'll slow me down.

Follow this path and keep walking that way.

The brothers of Black Wind Fortress will find you.

You have to be careful.

I know. Now off you go.

Quickly.

Don't kill me. Don't kill me.

If you don't want to die, tell me where Ye Jinxuan is.

Ding Qi, have you counted the gold?

Bai Chongye, look at this beautiful day.

It's so ill-mannered to speak of money right from the start. You weren't like this before.

Have you counted the gold?

Are you that desperate?

Even thieves have a code. If the money's right,

please release my son and let us leave, Leader Ding.

You stole my salt.

Your son wanted to kill me with a poisonous rat.

You think we've settled everything?

There is no proof.

You need to prove that Black Wind Fortress stole Xinyi Court's salt.

My son is stubborn and mischievous, but if you bring him here,

I will make him apologize to you.

Bai Chongye, you think just an apology is enough?

Nothing in life is that simple.

What do you want?

This is high-quality alcohol.

Do you really want to see your son? Let's see how sincere you are.

You have a high tolerance for alcohol. Good. Keep going.

Take it away! I won't eat.

Yao Yao.

Stupid Donkey?

Come with me.

Wait.

Come.

- Quickly. - Let me go. Where are you taking me?

They are over there! Keep going!

Let's go!

Yao Yao, are you all right?

Let go.

Are you all right?

You are here to save Bai Zhenzhu, right?

Thanks to you. Without you, I couldn't have saved him.

Then why don't you just leave?

We should both leave together.

Why do I need to come with you?

I'm well-fed and served well here.

Then why did you send the message to have me save Zhenzhu?

And why are you locked up in a room?

We had a fight. It's none of your business.

Yao Yao, can you stop being angry with me?

If you want to punish me or hit me, you can do it after we get away from here.

Why would I trust you again?

You used me so many times before.

I'm not going to fall into the same pit twice.

What happened before was all my fault.

I let you down.

But the salt permit really had nothing to do with me.

I don't care.

Yao Yao!

You don't even like Ding Qi.

Let's stop this fighting, all right?

Fighting?

Just because I like you doesn't mean you can bully me. I didn't choose Ding Qi

because I think of him only as a friend,

but that doesn't mean I have to be with you.

Stupid Donkey, love isn't something that I have to choose.

Even without you two, I can still do a good job being by myself.

Yao Yao.

Okay, I know you won't understand.

It's okay.

Move out of my way.

Yao Yao, you really won't give me another chance?

If you don't leave now, I'm going to scream.

Then you go carefully.

I didn't expect you to be so sincere.

Then I will tell you this good news as sincerely.

Although your son is quite the troublemaker,

I really rather like him.

I want to take him as my god-grandson.

This family hierarchy seems...

a bit confusing.

If he's my god-grandson, that makes you my godson.

Don't you see?

I've already prepared the ceremony for you to pay your respects.

You want to be my godfather...

You're too young.

You'll have your life shortened.

I have no parents. I emerged from the cracks in the earth. You think I'd be scared?

Come. Put your fingerprint stamp here

and you'll become my godson.

Your son will then be my god-grandson.

Have you ever seen a grandfather mistreat his grandson?

You will regret this; trust me.

You'll take 60% of Black Wind Fortress's income.

I must obey only Xinyi Court.

I must never

disobey Xinyi Court.

If you don't want to sign it,

don't blame me for not thinking about my god grandfather-god grandson relationship.

Are your words all true?

Your Excellency, please come and settle the dispute.

I will have the troops move out immediately.

Thank you, Your Excellency.

Who do you think I should help between Black Wind Fortress and Xinyi Court?

That depends on who is more tactful.

Old Bai,

I didn't expect a day like this would come for you.

Since you've stamped it with your fingerprint, come on then, godson.

Kowtow three times to your godfather.

You let Zhenzhu go first.

Your son's life is in my hands.

Will you kowtow or not?

What time is it now?

Did you hear anything?

I can't understand what you are saying.

Then allow me to rephrase it.

Don't gloat too early.

Old Bai, I really admire you.

Even at a time like this, you're still so damned stubborn.

In a moment,

you'll admire me even more.

Surround them!
