[Sword Dynasty]

16

Are you scared now?

17

You know the skills of the Nine Death Silkworm?

18

How do you like the taste of betraying your master for the sake of glory?

19

She must have fought with someone to have caused the chill to penetrate her body.

20

[Episode 02]

21

You crossed the line last night.

22

If that happens again, I definitely won't hesitate to kill you.

23

You know that the difference between our cultivation levels is significant.

24

This was the only way I could save you.

25

Besides, judging by the situation last night

26

Your Nine Secret Sword Method is more powerful than I thought.

27

You need to be even more patient in your cultivation.

28

Don't you think what you're saying is laughable?

29

How is it laughable?

30

If you didn't feel that some things were more important than life and death

31

why did you seek me out at the start?

32

And rebel against the Heng King in secret?

33

That's not the same thing!

34

There's no difference.

35

To you, avenging your master is more important than life and death.

36

This, to me, is the same.

37

I just want to remind you again.

38

You are that person's disciple.

39

That alone is enough for me to kill you.

40

I'm not killing you because your existence will let me speed up my cultivation.

41

Do you hate him that much?

42

His responsibility for the destruction of the Gongsun clan cannot be disputed.

43

Since that is the case, why did you come to Fengming City?

44

Did you think I came to Fengming City because of my past relationship with him?

45

I just feel that it is unfair. I just feel that

46

he accomplished so many things

47

yet came to such an end.

48

I feel that it isn't just.

49

So I want to kill the Heng King.

50

This flower is Song Shenshu?

51

Then who is that other flower?

52

The Marquis of Dugu.

53

You were spying on me.

54

I guessed it.

55

Then what about you? How did you kill Song ShunShu who was at the upper level of the third realm?

56

Only he would dare use that kind of language.

57

If others had this mindset,

58

they would be killed.

59

Yesterday, Feng Ming also had three people killed.

60

Shen DuJian and Jian TianSi will investigate and quickly find out the truth.

61

From now on, we must be careful.

62

Then tomorrow, what are your plans?

63

Right now, we can't do anything except wait.

64

Wait for my chess piece to come looking for me.

65

Jian Tian Division

66

When did this happen?

67

Today, someone found Du GuHou and his stableman dead in the outskirts of the forest.

68

- What about Zhao Zhan?

- He has been buried in the forest outside the city.

69

Up until now, no one

70

Don't worry, observe for another week.

71

Alright.

72

The Magic Stone Sword.

73

That man's unique swordsmanship

74

It seems that rumors are saying that man's discipline appeared in Fengming.

75

It's not a baseless claim.

76

Those are deliberately spread rumors.

77

Before thoroughly investigating, don't make rash assumptions.

78

I understand.

79

Go investigate the behavior of Du GuHou's associates.

80

Do you think that someone was coveting the Marquis' position?

81

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

82

Go investigate his past enemies.

83

How far back?

84

Ten years.

85

I'll take command.

86

ShenDu Division

87

Bing JianShou found out about Du GuHou.

88

He died in the outskirts of the woods. According to my investigation,

89

His death was very unique. It could have been from

90

the Magic Stone Sword.

91

Of Lie Jian Lu's direct disciples, three remain.

92

We have no idea how many Lie nation remnants are behind them.

93

Send more people to keep an eye on Zhao Zhan's grave.

94

If anyone comes to pay their respects, we can get rid of them in one strike.

95

Great one, of those who lived near Zhao Zhan, none were suspicious.

96

Aside from the young man outside the oil shop. This is his dossier.

97

Chief Ye is that person's disciple. Could it be possible that Chief Ye is the cul—

98

Dismissed!

99

Yes

100

This subordinate feels that this person could not possibly be a member of Lie Jian Lu.

101

Why do you say that?

102

This person's name is Ding Ning. He sells wine in Wu Tong Fall for a living.

103

Even though he has excellent qualities, but he has a rare condition that's given him a body of Irreversible Fiery Yang.

104

What does Irreversible Fiery Yang mean?

105

A physiognomy that has too much Yang.

106

A person with this type of physiognomy possesses internal organs that have many times more chi than normal people.

107

Just as the flame of the heart burning too furiously

108

The internal organs of this type of body begin to fail in its prime years.

109

So he cannot possibly be a cultivator

110

and is even less likely to become a member of the Lie Jian Lu.

111

My Lord, I am more worried about Murong Cheng's death.

112

Although Murong Cheng did not know us very well,

113

we are very clear about his family background.

114

Why would there be any problems?

115

His family matters have no problems,

116

but he had just agreed to a marriage arrangement with the Marquis Fang Manor.

117

If there are no issues, this winter

118

he will probably be married and move into the Marquis Fang Manor.

119

Since the people of the Marquis Fang Manor are already involved in this matter,

120

it is meaningless even if we continue to worry about it.

121

Don't tell me you only want to refine it right now.

122

Others might not be okay,

123

but my method of practice is different from them.

124

I think I'll be able to do it.

125

If you die, I won't bother burying you.

126

If I could die on Auntie's bed,

127

then I would die without any regrets.

128

Leave.

129

I just don't understand,

130

Is living a life as a normal person so bad?

131

Forcing yourself to practice,

132

you even want to get involved in this mess now?

133

Of course, because only this method

134

will allow me to stand in front of King Heng.

135

Then it's best if you die further.

136

The time between the flare up of your body's hyperactive "yang" qi is getting shorter.

137

If you force yourself to practice cultivation,

138

Within one year, you would definitely die.

139

That person has already passed so many years ago.

140

Is it worth it to avenge him?

141

Zhao Si, Lie Kingdom Sword Furnace, Seventh Realm.

The legendary true disciple of Lie Jianlu,

and the person who has attained the highest realm in cultivation.

142

[Memorial Tablet of Liang Jingmeng,

the Lead Swordsman of the world]

143

[Memorial Tablet of Zhao Zhan,

seventh disciple of Sword Furnace]

144

Mister Zhao Si, you came in the middle of the night to offer your prayers and respect.

145

You have indeed not forsaken your affection and loyalty for your brothers.

146

But this is Fengming City.

147

How could you come and go so publicly?

148

Are you not afraid to die?

149

I have always placed great importance on friendships.

150

Bureau Chief Ye, as someone who depended on the betrayal of your teacher and sect

151

to gain promotion into to ranks of nobility,

152

how would you even understand it?

153

Say, you didn't even inform me that you have come back.

154

This is all His Majesty's idea.

155

If I had a choice, I would rather not come back.

156

Now that you have come back to Fengming City,

157

you live your days with your sword having to taste blood everyday.

158

You will encounter danger at every moment.

159

It is impossible for me to be with you at all times.

160

Compared to me, you are probably in greater danger.

161

All prisoners in the Great Floating Water Prison are the most dangerous traitors.

162

You had better take good care of yourself.

163

Your teacher has passed away for ten years.

164

His Majesty has summoned you back suddenly this time.

165

Do you not think that behind all these,

166

it is not as simple as it looks?

167

From what I know, Lie Jianlu and the people of Cloud Water Palace

168

all know about the secret of Lone Mountain Sword Trove.

169

This time, His Majesty summoned you back to kill Zhao Zhan.

170

This is to force the remaining evil members of the Sword Furnace to show themselves,

171

so as to lure Lone Mountain Sword Trove out.

172

How did you know about Lone Mountain Sword Trove?

173

Imprisoned in the Great Floating Water Prison

174

is a very important criminal.

175

In these last ten years, His Majesty had not stopped, not even for a single moment, interrogating him

176

about Long Mountain Sword Trove's whereabouts.

177

Who is he?!

178

That person is an old member of the Bashan Sword Academy.

179

So, it is better if you do not know who he is.

180

Umbrellas for sale!

181

Miss, take a look at these.

182

Take a look at this. It is really well made.

183

Umbrellas for sale!

184

Have a look! Umbrellas for sale!

185

Wutong Tavern?

186

This is the place.

187

Li Lingjun, Prince of the Xian Kingdom.

The hostage prince from the Xian Kingdom, used to exchange for six hundred miles of fertile lands in the Kingdom of Heng.

188

-

189

Waiter!

190

Waiter, bring some wine here!

191

Help yourself to the wine.

192

A jug of wine costs twenty copper coins, and a dish of preserved peanuts in salt water will be five copper coins.

193

Waiter. Waiter!

194

The wine in your shop tastes really acerbic.

195

It tastes like the water used for washing rice gone rancid.

196

Furthermore, the distillery residue has not been totally filtered out from the wine.

197

Can this even be called wine?

198

It is a shame that your shop even has such a good reputation.

199

Don't tell me you came all the way here to this tavern really to taste its wine?

200

- Is that really so?

- Exactly.

- Are you stupid?

201

The wines of our tavern taste exactly like this.

202

Can this be called wine?

203

If it is not wine, then what is it?

204

This is how the wines of the Heng people taste like.

205

Drink it if you can. If you can't, then you are the one with the problem.

206

You are a citizen of the Xian Kingdom. Don't tell me you are even trying to misbehave yourself here in Fengming City?

207

A citizen of the Xian Kingdom? So what if I am a Xian citizen?

208

In the third year of Yuanwu, a war broke out between the kingdoms of Heng and Xian.

209

Two hundred thousand troops of the Heng Army were injured. Innumerable war chariots were damaged.

210

In the end, the Liangshan County was given to us.

211

Could it be that all of you have forgotten about this?

212

You!

213

Do not discuss state affairs in the tavern.

214

If you do not wish to drink your wine properly, then please leave.

215

Do not create any trouble here.

216

Truly, her beauty alone is comparable to that of the entire kingdom.

217

Seems like the rumors are not fake.

218

- If I could convince this girl to pledge her allegiance to me, and then present her to Royal Father.

- All right.

219

Shopkeeper, we are giving you the honor.

220

Everyone, sit down and continue to drink.

221

You have to compensate us for breaking the wine jar.

222

And, you'll have to clear away all the broken shards on the floor before you leave.

223

Don't let them injure the legs of the Heng people.

224

- Quickly go.

- Leave.

225

The pawn is hooked.

226

[Memorial Tablet of Zhao Zhan,

Seventh Disciple of Sword Furnace]

227

Why did she take Zhao Zhan's memorial tablet away?

228

Earlier on, you sent someone to bring a verbal message to me,

229

saying that you have an important matter to discuss with me.

230

I wonder what this matter is?

First Miss of the Shang family.

The entire Shang family clan was exterminated,

with the remnants escaping to the Fish Market,

waiting for an opportunity to rise in revolt .

231

My junior brother, Zhao Zhan, was killed by Ye Celeng.

232

I believe First Miss Shang already knows about this.

233

Mister Zhao Qi ranked among the very few illustrious heroes in the world.

234

It is truly lamentable that he has passed away.

235

The cultivators of the Heng Kingdom have been pursuing our people from the Sword Furnace very closely.

236

I'm not talking about just in Fengming City.

237

As long as we reside in any of the great cities of the Heng Dynasty, we would definitely be found out.

238

My junior brother obviously knew about this, but he did not fear for his life,

239

and lived in seclusion in Fengming City for three years.

240

This is not because he wanted to assassinate a certain person by himself,

241

but rather, he was looking for an item left behind by that person.

242

You are referring to the legendary Lone Mountain Sword Trove?

243

How would you like me to help you?

244

The first matter - should First Miss Shang really find that person's disciple,

245

you must find a way to inform my people in the Sword Furnace.

246

The second matter I'm asking you to help with is

247

to keep an eye on the movements of those people

from Cloud Water Palace.

248

I have received information indicating that they might have other clues about Lone Mountain Sword Trove.

249

Bai Shanshui has also been sighted in Fengming City?

250

If I could gain possession of the Lone Mountain Sword Trove,

251

I am willing to share it with First Miss Shang.

252

From now on, we will do our utmost best to ensure your safety with the few remnant swords of the Sword Furnace.

253

Reporting to Bureau Chief. A dead body has been found in the Fish Market.

254

Who is the deceased?

255

Song Shenshu of the Library of Classical History.

256

- When did he die?

- It appears that he died on the same day as Marquis Dugu.

257

Which realm of cultivation had Song Shenshu attained?

258

The upper level of the Third Realm. He was about to break through this realm.

259

Divine Skills of the Nine-Death Silkworm?

260

Between the fish market and the forest where Marquis Dugu died,

261

what is in the middle?

262

Wutong Falls Tavern.

263

Send my command.

264

Thoroughly investigate anyone that was suspicious around Wutong Falls Tavern the day of Marquis Dugu's death.

265

Yes.

266

What have you found in the investigation?

267

Song Shenshu and Marquis Dugu both died under that person's swordplay method.

268

You told me to investigate around Wutong Fall Tavern.

269

I'm still searching for anyone that was suspicious on that day.

270

Who else did she see after she returned?

271

No one.

272

Do you think this person is loyal?

273

I dare not judge either way.

274

Little...

275

Little Auntie, where are you?

276

Why don't I see you?

277

You knew I was taking a bath. How dare you come in?

278

If I don't come in, how would I know that you're taking a bath?

279

You... You are making excuses.

280

Why are you pretending that you didn't see, even though you saw it?

281

To be serious

282

don't come out tomorrow.

283

Why?

284

If nothing unexpected happens. Tomorrow that General Li Lun will come again.

285

Your saying that person that came to the shop today was General Li Lun?

286

Exactly.

287

What's it got to do with me?

288

I want to use him to fish out the person from the second floor.

289

You are full of tricks.

290

You eat and sleep with me everyday

291

If I am full of tricks or not.

292

Wouldn't you know it?

293

Aunty is committing domestic violence.

294

Go ahead and yell. See if anyone comes to your rescue.

295

Look at that carriage.

296

So many people today! It's the same old rule. Get your own wine and water.

297

Come let's go in.

Go.

298

I am Lu Siche. My young master wishes to meet with Miss Zhangsun.

299

Since it's your young master who wants to meet.

300

Than why doesn't he come down from his carrage?

301

- My young master—

- You are right, Sir.

302

Since I am already here, I really shouldn't wait inside the carriage.

303

I should personally ask for Miss Zhangsun's audience.

304

I was too proud of my status.

305

I've seen you before.

306

You are that gentleman who broke our wine jar yesterday.

307

Why? You didn't drink enough wine?

308

You should know the rules today, right?

309

The youth at Fengming City are really admirable.

310

If you want to drink wine, you must follow the rules.

311

If you want to meet my Little Aunt,

312

only when all the wine has been sold out.

313

I specially came here for the purpose of proposing to Miss Zhangsun for marriage.

314

Thank you for your kind intention.

315

However, it's impossible.

316

With such a quick and decisive refusal, there ought to be a reason.

317

I think, you should discuss it with Miss Zhangsun.

318

I don't think it's necessary.

319

As for the reason, do you really want me to say it?

320

Please give it a try.

321

Your father, the King of Xian Kingdom,

322

has been at the throne for 32 years.

323

During the 32 years,

324

he has innumerable number of beauties in the inner palace.

325

Among those beautifies, his most favorite

326

is probably Concubine Zhao Xiang who came from the old Xie Kingdom.

327

However, between him and Concubine Zhao Xiang,

328

there hasn't been any child born to them.

329

When you return to your father's side,

330

and you bring along a woman of stunning beauty.

331

Then it's conceivable that your father

332

won't dislike you as he did before.

333

- Why do you say so?

- Concubine Zhao Xiang has no children.

334

If your father designates someone else as the Crown Prince,

335

she will eventually lose power.

336

Therefore, you falsely want to marry my Little Aunt,

337

you actually want to use her to appease your royal father

338

to exchange for the opportunity to inherit the Xian's throne.

339

If everything happens as you are saying,

340

and I can really become Xian's king,

341

shouldn't you take my request more seriously?

342

Let my Little Aunt become one of your father's concubines?

343

Using one person to get a whole kingdom, isn't it a rare strategy?

344

Isn't it better than marrying a merchant here?

345

Look, I'm already this way.

346

My Little Aunt has even higher regard for herself.

347

If it's something I look down at, she wouldn't consider it at all.

348

In this case, I bid you farewell.

349

Isn't my performance

350

outstanding enough?

351

Liang Jingmeng, if you are alive

352

and see Ding Ning, wouldn't it be like seeing yourself?

353

Is there any progress on the deaths of Marquis Dugu and Sung Shenshu?

354

They both died under that person's swordplay method.

355

Did the same person kill them?

356

I believe there are two killers.

357

Why do you think so?

358

The two killers are cultivated in two different realms.

359

Chief of Investigations, you used to be a member of Bashan Sword Academy.

360

Who do you think the killers are?

361

I do not know.

362

If it's really that person's disciple, why did these two men die?

363

I know that our dynasty has kept the tradition of designating 11 Marquis positions.

364

Since Marquis Dugu has died,

365

someone will take over his position. I wonder,

366

perhaps the killer has coveted the Marquis's position?

367

If His Majesty permits, I would like to follow this clue.

368

Chief of Investigations is really thorough in thoughts.

369

So, if the killer has coveted the Marquis's position, and he is also that person's disciple,

370

then when we catch the killer,

371

will Chief of Investigation kill your own fellow disciple?

372

Your Royal Highness, if you don't believe me, why bother commanding me to return?

373

It's His Majesty's command to return.

374

His Majesty... is probably testing your royalty.

375

I will prove it with substantive action.

376

Sir, I've found out on the day of Marquis Dugu's death,

377

the tavern wasn't open.

378

Who is inside the tavern?

379

The taver's proprietress is Zhangsun Qianxue.

380

Her nephew is the youngster that we investigated that day. His name is Ding Ning.

381

Ding Ning.

382

Ding Ning?

383

No cultivation.

384

Sir, what is the meaning of this? Have I made a mistake?

385

I'm investigating a case and accidentally mistook you for someone else.

386

Sorry.

387

Since it's a misunderstanding, then it's fine.

388

A few days ago, when it was pouring rain, why was the tavern closed?

389

On that raining day, I saw that there were no customers, so I closed the tavern.

390

The oil shop across the street was not open either.

391

Is there a problem?

392

This is a log to record the wine brewing recipes.

393

This is rose, that's osmanthus.

394

Are you nervous?
