♫ 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 ♫

[Episode 24]

Eldest Brother!

Don't do it!

- About the musk, she has nothing to do with it! - I know.

You're the one who betrayed Black Wind Fortress.

She incriminated herself on your behalf, correct?

Xia Chunyu,

don't think acting like a nice guy now can make me like you.

You betrayed me. You're having an affair with Liu Yiyi and I won't forgive you for the rest of my life!

You want to kill me? Go ahead!

Look, you lied and put yourself through this turmoil,

but she doesn't seem to appreciate it.

It's all meaningless.

The matter of Yao Yao stealing the musk is full of holes.

- You give me time and I'll definitely get to the bottom of this. - Is that right?

But she already confessed.

If according to what you've said, she must be trying to cover up for somebody.

You keep opposing me because of her.

I absolutely can't let her live.

Eldest Brother!

Don't!

Don't!

You think I won't dare kill you?

Xia Chunyu, let me tell you. Ding Qi and I were together for a long time. If you're a real man, let him kill me.

Also, don't forget, I once went to Bai Chonye,

- and accused you of being undercover... undercover! - Of course, I remember such a foolish thing!

But for now, there's something more important.

Eldest Brother, she's my former wife.

Spare her life!

All right!

Eldest Brother, they colluded with each other! Eldest Brother!

See if my analysis is correct.

Since you still claim that she's your wife,

therefore she still belongs to Black Wind Fortress. Right?

Then we should get this resolved by the rules of Black Wind Fortress.

"Three stabs, six holes" (A punishment among outlaws)

Let me carry it out for you, Eldest Brother!

Shut up!

No!

She used this dagger to stab you earlier.

I want this to end all your thoughts.

Eldest Brother, why are you pressuring me?!

If by luck she stays alive, then it is destined that she can go on living.

And I will spare her life.

Execute!

Execute! Execute! Execute!

Execute! Execute!

Execute!

Xia Chunyu,

kill me right away! Otherwise, I'll despise you forever!

Yes!

You're a woman of loose morals and you're unfaithful. As your husband, I have to punish you!

Third Brother, if you can't do it, let me help you!

Xia Chunyu, don't you know that the three stabs and six piercings is equal to making three holes through the body?

Stupid donkey...

Big Brother, does this count?

If this news spreads, how can we still remain close to the people out there?

Of course, it doesn't.

Since she fainted, let's continue tomorrow. Keep her tied up here.

Let people see the consequences of betraying the Black Wind Fortress.

Let's go.

No!

Get the doctor out here!

No!

Godmother! I'm here. I'll give you some water to drink.

Young Master,

Eldest Master said that she's a traitor; she can't have water.

Who do you think you are? You're not my father! What right do you have to interfere in my matters?

Godmother, here.

You--

Zhenzhu, you have to be obedient. Don't interfere in the matters of adults.

Why can't I interfere in Godmother's matters?

Then don't blame me for being nasty.

As your second uncle, I have to take you in hand today.

Eldest Master is looking for you. It's urgent.

Wait for me, you rascal.

Godfather.

Yes?

Godfather, Eldest Master did not ask for you.

What do you mean?

You know that rascal is precious to the Eldest Master and you still want to punish him.

You lied to me? I know what you mean, but can we break the rules just like that?

Eldest Master did not kill Ye Jingxuan last night.

This means that he's letting Ye Jinxuan off on behalf of Xia Chunyu.

If not he wouldn't have allowed Xia Chunyu to call for the doctor.

Eldest Brother is becoming more possessed.

There is also nothing we can do.

If this is because you are pleading on behalf of Ye Jiayao,

there is nothing to talk about then.

You knew that I wasn't willing.

Why did you still want me to take action? This issue will definitely take a favorable turn.

You should know that after the Sanjiang River battle,

in my heart, you were already not as good as before.

That's why I came today to offer you a strategy.

Let me atone for my crime by helping you to finish what was left incomplete at Sanjia River.

Continue.

Thank you.

Godmother.

You, come here.

Young Master.

- Release my godmother. - What? I can't do that.

What do you mean? No one could play with you and make you happier than when you were in Yongcui Pavilion.

When you encounter a problem, you become like a tortoise hiding its head. You don't have any loyalty at all.

Young Master, this way, please.

It's not that I don't want to talk about loyalty.

Third Master went to Eldest Master's home early this morning. He will find a solution.

Ding Qi and I are the same. We both love Yao Yao deeply.

If I were to now notify Ding Qi that Yao Yao has been locked up in Black Wind Fortress, he would definitely come here immediately.

By then, Eldest Brother, you can just close the doors and beat the dog. You'd be able to kill Ding Qi easily.

How can I know that you are not lying to me?

Yao Yao's life is in your hands. How could I lie to you?

If you can really get Ding Qi to come here, I will release Ye Jiayao.

If the fish bait is already dead by drying up, how will you still catch the big fish?

Men.

Here.

Take Ye Jiaoyao to the cell.

Yes.

Thank you, Eldest Brother.

I'm going to Xinyi Court now.

Do you really think that Yao Yao stole the musk?

Is that still important now?

I understand.

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

- Let me teach you. - Okay.

Monkey Steals the Peach!

Heaven and Earth!

Heaven and Earth...

That's so wrong.

Forget it. It's better if you don't train.

Brother Court Master, am I that stupid?

You are not. Fighting and killing are just not suitable for you. Go and play.

This person...

Isn't that him?

Xia Chunyu, shouldn't you be dead?

Ah Bing.

Here. Go and buy candied hawthorn.

- Thank you, Brother Court Master. - Go now.

I'm going to buy candies.

The Tengyun Dart found on that victim...

was the one you removed from Tie Ying's body, am I right?

You are not allowed to mention Tie Ying's name.

If you want to take revenge, do it openly with honor. Why take action behind everyone's back?

You're not a person that's good at scheming. Who in Black Wind Fortress is colluding with you?

Was it Sheng Wu?

That idiot is not fit to talk to me.

Who was it then?

Why should I tell you?

That old tortoise, Bai Chongye. It's such a major issue and he didn't even kill you.

Looks like you are forcing me to personally take action.

You almost got Yao Yao killed!

How is this related to her?

Just to bear the crime for me,

she was stabbed by Eldest Brother. She is now hanging on to her last breath.

That foolish woman.

I should have known that she overheard my conversation.

How can you just stand there?

Are you going to personally watch her die? Don't you have any shame?

Why didn't you duck?

I should receive this blow.

As for you,

are you also going to personally watch her die?!

I'm going to Black Wind Fortress to see that Bai right now!

Eldest Brother is waiting for you.

What do you mean?

Do you really think that Eldest Brother thinks that Yao Yao stole the musk?

He is forcing me

to lure you to Black Wind Fortress.

Why are you telling me about this plan?

If you die,

I won't have a bargaining chip to negotiate with Eldest Brother to release Yao Yao.

What if you are lying to me?

You can kill me now.

I won't fight back. After you have killed me, you can go and save Yao Yao.

I will never cooperate with the killer of my brother.

I will settle this score with you later.

Third Master.

Yao Yao.

Hearing how you screamed in pain yesterday,

my heart broke.

If I can

take your place and die on your behalf,

I'll naturally do it.

Don't worry.

I will definitely rescue you.

You must wait for me.

Stupid donkey.

Don't leave.

Stupid donkey.

Stupid donkey.

Stupid donkey.

[Grave of Tie Ying]

Listen carefully.

You are my strongest martial arts masters and the most experienced fighters in Xinyin Court.

We are going to Black Wind Fortress not to take revenge for Tie Ying, but for my personal matter instead.

If you are not willing to go,

I won't force you. Especially, when I feel guilty about this matter.

No, we are willing. We are orphans. Your business is our business.

We will die with the Court Master!

We will die with the Court Master.

Excellent!

Looks like I didn't pamper you for nothing.

[Image of Bai Chongye]

This is...

the Eldest Master of Black Wind Fortress, Bai Chongye.

He and our Xinyi Court cannot co-exist together.

Although we are going to save someone today,

but whoever kills him,

you will have a handsome reward.

Good!

What about Xia Chunyu? Wasn't he the one who killed Brother Tie Ying?

Xia Chunyu? I will personally handle him.

Tie Ying, don't worry.

I will surely make him pay with his blood!

Yes!

Come out now.

Damn you. What are you doing here?

Brother Court Master, you are not taking me along with you to play. Ah Bing is going, too. Ah Bing is going out to play, too.

What we are doing, is very dangerous. Why would you go?

Be good. Go buy more candied hawthorns. Wait for me to come back and we will eat them together.

Really?

You must come back soon then. If not, when this candy melts, it won't taste good anymore.

I know.

Instruct the rest of our brothers

to take good care of the house.

Brothers, let's go!

That day, I will decrease the guards in the northeast corner

and help you go up the mountain.

- Yao Yao! - Gugu!

Stupid donkey?

Gugu!

Ding Qi?

- What are you doing here? - Let's not talk about this first.

Let's leave now.

Let's go.

Third Master, bad news. Southwest is on fire.

Based on Eldest Brother's plan, when your people charge in, they definitely will lose.

When that time comes, I will send a secret smoke signal.

That is the Chenzhu (old gems) Room! That's Eldest Brother's favorite. Tell our brothers nearby to put out the fire there!

The brothers who are nearest to us are guarding Black Wind Fortress.

- Tell them to go over there now. Go! - But...

Eldest Brother said that I would be responsible for all the movements today. Go now.

Yes.

When that time comes, I will get someone

to stop Eldest Brother.

Eldest Brother!

Eldest Brother!

Ding Qi is here.

Listen carefully. Be good and stay here. Don't wander anywhere.

Father!

What's wrong, Zhenzhu?

I can't take it.

What's going on?

- Where are you hurting? - I can't breathe.

Yao Yao, I prepared a carriage just ahead.

After you cross these woods, you can leave.

It's all right. I will come to look for you.

Leave now.

Don't think by doing this, I will give up taking revenge for Tie Ying.

Let's go!

Ding Qi. Ding Qi, how are you?

I'm fine.

Ding Qi.

What's going on?

We have fallen into a trap.

Slow.

Eldest Brother?

Bai Chongye.

Drink the medicine.

If I drink it, you are not allowed to leave.

Of course.

I'll come back to teach you a lesson.

Third Brother,

thank you for your scheme within a scheme that I'm able to capture all these people.

Xia Chunyu!

- Calm down. - To hell with calming down!

Are you here to save Yao Yao or to kill me?

Did you take me as a monkey to be fooled around with?

I'll kill you first.

Ding Qi!

Is this arrow poisoned?

That's right.

The more you move, that faster you'll die.

Ding Qi!

Ding Qi...

Ding Qi!

I beg of you, please don't kill him.

Please.

I'm begging you.

Yao Yao.

Yao Yao!

Yao Yao.

Eldest Brother.

Benevolence for a woman. Third Brother, your old illness is here again.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole close behind.

You've won over everything. Can't you let her go?

What bargain do you have now to still talk about price?

Yes.

I painstakingly strategized,

but everything was within your own scheme.

You deliberately let Yao Yao be tortured

and let me believe that if I lured Ding Qi here,

you would release Yao Yao.

I've thought about it carefully.

Only by setting a fire near the Chenzhu Room could you decrease the guards in the southwest corner

and let Ding Qi have a chance to survive. Hence, I set up an ambush here.

Third Brother, didn't you realize that

this woman keeps misunderstanding you. I'm the one who knows you the best in this world.

I don't care for this kind of understanding.

If this is the case, I can only fight till death. If you want to kill them,

just kill me first.

How could I possibly kill you?

You are my meritorious subject. I surely will reward you.

Third Brother, for the Sanjiang River battle, I indeed got mad at you, but I never lost my trust in you.

My attitude toward you is worse than before, but that was just to mollify the injured Sheng Wu.

Eldest Brother.

I have never met anyone who wanted to protect his love like this.

No need to be so drastic. After going through Yao Yao's terror today,

I will never trust you again.

Third Brother, you've thought too much.

You should be happy. Ye Jinxuan would rather get stabbed than to betray you.

In my opinion,

your love is more solid than gold.

Reporting! Eldest Master.

Good.

Excellent.

Third Brother, think about it.

Which one, dying on the battlefield or living an ignoble life, is more unbearable for a general? In my opinion,

your insistence on saving Ding Qi may not necessarily be a good thing.

No matter what,

life is the most precious, Eldest Brother.

But if all his soldiers die

and his lifetime career turns into dung, what point is then there for him to keep living?

What are you talking about?

Third Brother,

you are only just a pawn.

My bigger goal surpasses anything you imagine it to be.

Fly away!

Eldest Brother, your trick of luring the tiger out of the mountains was awesome.

With Xinyi Court's elite men gone,

this place indeed became an empty shell that easily got conquered.

Godfather.

Just kill them all to avoid future problems.

Didn't we meet somewhere before?

Eldest Brother Ding.

Do you want to take revenge for Tie Ying?

Kill him!

Wait.

Second Brother, Eldest Brother said that we'd only kill those who stubbornly resisted.

Since they have already surrendered, we don't need to kill them.

Godfather, there is obvious hatred in his eyes.

If we don't kill the roots, they will grow again.

- Kill him. - Stop.

He is just a fool. Why must you insist on killing him?

Hurry up.

Hey.

You are all bad guys.

- Monkey Steals the Peach! - Peng Wu!

Fifth Brother.

I didn't do it on purpose, Fifth Brother.

Fifth Brother!

I didn't do it on purpose.

Fifth Brother!

Godfather.

If Fifth Brother hadn't been soft-hearted, how could he have died under the hands of an idiot? We must kill all of them.

Brothers, listen to my orders.

Kill them all!

Yes!

Fifth Brother.

Father.

Father?

I'm going to Black Wind forest to capture Xu Chunyu and the rest first. When I return, I will teach you a lesson.

Godmother!

Father!

Godmother!

Father!

Godmother!

Father!

Godmother!

Father!

Father!

Father!

This...

is the Eldest Master of Black Wind Fortress, Bai Chongye.

He and our Xinyi Court cannot coexist together!

In eliminating Xinyi Court today, everyone is a meritorious subject.

Fifth Brother, He Zhongbao, unfortunately, died there,

but it was a glorious death.

Chenglong, you will be in charge of giving him an elaborate funeral.

Yes, Eldest Brother.

Eldest Brother, I really didn't imagine that

he would die so early.

There will never be anyone to fight and argue with me again.

I... will go check on Sangsang first.

She's currently consoling Shengsheng.

Go now.

Where is Third Brother?

He has been keeping company with Ye Jinxuan in the room.

Eldest Brother, Xinyi Court has been eliminated but regarding the musk incident...

I was just about to talk about that,

but Third Brother needs to be here, too.

Song Qi, go and find Zhenzhu and bring him back here. He is the only one who can ask his godfather to come here.

Young Master? I haven't seen him.

Where is he?

Aren't you going to find him now?

Eldest Master!

Eldest Master, you must restrain your grief.

Who is this?

We discovered this in the Black Wind forest. Young Master put on your cloak

and was shot by the poisoned arrow. A member of Xinyi Court

must have picked up our bow and arrow, thinking it was you.

He is definitely not our Zhenzhu.

He is not.

Zhenzhu...

Are you playing with me?

Tell me. Have you slept enough?

Why aren't you talking to me?

Why aren't you talking to me?

Zhen'er, talk to me.

Zhen'er, talk to me. Zhen'er, talk to me!

- Zhen'er, talk to me. - Eldest Brother.

- Eldest Brother. - If not, I will beat you.

Eldest Brother, what are you doing? He's already dead.

Eldest Brother!

Older brother, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to come here?

You are stealing.

Mind your own business. I like pearls.

I want all the pearls in the kingdom.

Don't take away my pearls.

Who gave you the right to have such nice items?

Baiye. Baiye.

Pearl. Older brother, this pearl is for you.

Master Ding, it's time to eat.

Stop delivering rice to me.

Just kill me if you want to.

Master Ding, you are really a man. Look at your situation now

and you are still throwing tantrums?

The word "man" is hard to write. A human skin is hard to put on.

Death is always the quickest way.

But if you die this way,

everyone in Xinyi Court, young and old...

There were so many lives there. What should we do about them?

What do you mean? What's wrong with Xinyi Court?

What did that bastard Bai Chongye do to Xinyi Court?

You still don't know?

Master Bai already ordered Third Master to attack Xinyi Court.

Just three words.

Kill without pardoning.

As of today, Xinyi Court

is really like a ghost town now.

Bai Chongye, Xu Chunyu!

I'm going to kill you both!

What's the use of screaming?

What's most important now is to preserve your life.

If you die,

there will really be nothing left at all.
