~ Episode 4 ~

Ding Song is really insulting us intolerably!

Lord Bai, do you have any good suggestion?

General Su, based on my opinion,

we can file a complaint all together.

But filing a general complaint...

Based on what you said, why don't we all file a complaint together?

But what can His Majesty... His Majesty do to Ding Song?

What... What is the best way to deal with this?

- That's right. What's the best way to deal? - We can't advance nor retreat. This...

- Let's just listen to General Su.- Right. Right.

That. That. Look at that.

What's wrong with His Majesty?

Eunuch Cao, His Majesty's condition is very grave.

I totally can't find out where he is hurt.

But his pulse is getting weaker and weaker.

You are the best doctor here in the Palace.

Hurry and think of a way.

I am incompetent.

Whether His Majesty can survive this dangerous situation or not

will depend on himself.

If anything happens to His Majesty,

I am willing to kill myself and be buried with him.

Nothing will happen to His Majesty.

Nothing will surely happen to His Majesty!

I understand you feelings for the Emperor.

But the Emperor's heart only has Zi Su.

It can't accommodate no one anymore.

Forgive me for being nosy.

His Majesty isn't like what you're thinking.

He is carrying so much burden.

Right now, the whole government is being controlled by Ding Song.

He is afraid that Ding Song will be placing a spy by his side

so he has not choice but to reject everyone.

Regarding Princess Zi Su, she is of royal bloodline.

For this generation, only them two siblings were left.

The Emperor spoiling the little Princess can't be prevented.

Eunuch Cao,

I heard from other people that the Emperor still has a god-brother outside.

You must not say these words haphazardly.

You can be beheaded.

Stop right there, Sun Yu!

You bastard! How long do you plan to go against me?!

Anyone! Anyone!

The Emperor is awake.

Emperor!

Eunuch Cao, my head is aching so bad.

- Water...- Bring some water here.

Your Highness, please allow me to check your pulse.

Jeez, Your Majesty, you're finally awake.

You really scared me last night.

Weird. The Emperor's pulse is totally normal now.

Your Majesty, try recalling it again. What really happened?

Last night, Eunuch Cao and I went to Ding Song's manor.

And then I already don't know what happened afterwards.

Your Majesty, it's fine that you're okay.

About what happened last night, I can just tell you the details once you're better.

Thankfully, Doctor Qian Meng stayed here to take care of you the whole night.

She even still hasn't slept yet.

His Majesty wasn't saved by me.

Your Majesty, think about it again.

Can you still remember anything?

Oh, right. When I was delirious,

there indeed seemed to be a person.

Who?

He made me take in something.

Who is that person?

What is that?

Isn't this the armorial of the Heavenly Strategy Office?

Could it be a missing Heaven Strategy Envoy that came back to save me?

- Long time no see. Long time no see!

Long time no see...

Big Brother.

Master Ma, I'm representing everyone to thank you.

Yesterday, we won so cleanly.

After one shot of your canon, we...all ended up with you.

That's right.

How are you going to thank me? Where is that thing?

That thing...really...isn't with me...really...

It isn't with me. Really. It isn't with me.

- It's really isn't with me. Look.- Bro, don't randomly touch.

- None, Brother. None.- Brother.

Brother.

Look. After going in circles, it still ended up with me.

How come you kept it in your clothes?

How would I know that they will search my body?

- So this is the legendary mountain lair?- Zi Su.

Ma Da Dao, isn't this place of yours too shabby? Move aside.

- You...- What are you doing?

No way. Woah!

Zi Su, hurry and come back here!

Get up.

She is a princess. Just let her do what she wants, go where she wants.

About her friends, you just--

You now know that I'm a princess?

They were all my friends.

Princess, I don't have any other meaning.

What I mean is to let you friends first leave and rest.

Me and friend Zhang Xiong Fei

have some men stuff that we have to talk about for a while. You--

I don't have any! I don't have any!

I don't have any.

I also don't want to know. Brother Bai Ze, let's go.

Let's go.

Men, prepare the best prison...for them to rest into.

Okay, Big Brother.

We're going now.

- Move.- Let go of me!

Hurry and go.

Are there any news?

I already sent someone to the Palace to secretly investigate.

He said that Princess Zi Su left the Palace a few days ago and went to the northwestern direction.

Right now, even the Emperor can't find her.

Think of every possible way to find her.

Yes.

This...during the Temple Festival...we did save your life.

You should just return this item...just give it to me as a present.

Stop saying nonsense with me.

Tell me first what this thing is and how to use it.

And that guy that I shot with my cannon, was he chasing after you because of this?

That...

Look. Look. Yanjiao town's...most cunning Zhan Xiongfei...

you also has a time that you can't make up any nonsense lies?

Can't think of one, is that it?

It's fine.

Just stay here.

Try thinking of what to say to me.

Nan Jia!

- Yes, Big Boss.- Come over here!

Bring this precious guest back to his cell.

Okay.

Let's go now.

Hey, Master, I remember it now!

- That person is chasing after me...because he likes my looks.- Let's go now. Hurry and move.

Master, it was actually because of my good looks.

Right. It's because of my good looks.

There are so many past rifts between Zhang Xiong Fei and Ma Da Dao.

Now that he got caught by him, he most likely will suffer.

No way.

Brother Fei, isn't a person that fight when the odds are against him.

He surely will be alright.

Get in!

- I can go in on my own.- Get in!

- Brother Fei!- You...

Brother Fei, are you alright?

Are you alright?

- Are you okay?- I'm fine.

Ma Da Dao wants to know the use of the Stars Chart and Magic Star.

Or else, he most likely won't let us go.

No way.

We can't tell him the secret of the Stars Chart and Magic Star.

I instead feel that we can tell him about he Stars Chart.

What I mean is since Ma Da Dao is quite greedy, then let us tell him that

the direction that this Magic Star and Stars Chart is pointing to is a hidden treasure.

This way, he can set out with us.

Zi Su...this idea isn't that good. Isn't that attracting the wolf into your house? (attracting trouble)

Brother Bai Ze, that Qian Yi Shou guy is currently chasing after you.

Even if we are able to escape from here, we will still be in danger.

Ma Da Dao has so many men and a big cannon.

What I'm doing is finding us free bodyguards.

But what if we are not able to escape from Ma Da Dao's grasps when the time comes?

Moreover, what about the Stars Chart and Magic Star?

Let's just take things as they come.

By that time, we surely will find a way.

Staying outside give us more opportunities than staying inside this mountain lair, right?

I feel that it will be too risky that way.

Then you tell us what should we do now.

Isn't A Ji Ya very good in fighting? Then just take us out of here?

I just knew that I can't rely on you.

Men! Men!

Zi Su! Zi Su, what are you doing?

What are you shouting about?!

I want to see Ma Da Dao!

Why are you being noisy?!

I want to see Ma Da Dao.

Open the door. Big Boss already said that Princess Zi Su can freely roam the lair.

Princess, please.

Zi Su! Zi Su, be careful!

Stop being noisy already!

Seven coincidences, eight horses,

five chiefs, seven coincidences,

six, six, six... seven coincidences,

Big Boss, the Princess wants to see you.

Ma Da Dao, I am going to give you a huge gift today.

What huge gift?

Bring everyone out of here.

Okay. Everyone, leave!

- No one is allowed to come in.- Let's go. Let's go.

Go now!

Hurry and leave!

What huge gift?

This child Zi Su has been spoiled in the Palace since she was little.

And now, she's being mischievous while here outside.

She doesn't really know the graveness of this matter.

Don't worry.

I understand his personality.

She wouldn't harm herself.

What did you say?

And also, I feel that Zi Su's idea is also plausible.

What do you mean?

Zi Su's idea is indeed a dangerous move.

But if it is done well, it will still be beneficial for us.

I don't understand what you are saying.

Your Highness, the Princess.

That...were everything that you said earlier true?

Of course.

There are unlimited gold that you can dig.

I am guaranteeing it with my royal blood line. You still won't believe me?

I believe you.

I definitely believe you.

Hey, if we really will be able to find a treasure full of gold, we will just take one half.

And I am guaranteeing to you that

after it, I will immediately stop being a bandit and just convert to farming.

Who would want to be a bandit forever? Isn't it?

Okay. Then may we have a happy venture.

A happy venture.

Men!

- Big Boss!- Big Brother!

Drag Zhan Xiong Fei and his friends to--

Hey!

Please ask them to come here.

Oh, okay...Big Boss...

Let's go. Let's go.

Come out! My Big Boss is looking for you.

Come out. Hurry up.

Hurry and come out!

Zi Su, did it. Let's go.

- What kind of relationship do we have now? Isn't it? Let's just do as you say. Okay.

It's settled as such then. Okay?

Hey! Hey! I'm going to announce something.

Princess Zi Su and I...we've already discussed the amount.

When we found the treasure, half will go to our lair.

- Applause!- Good!

Starting today, we all are now brothers and sisters.

We are like real siblings. Not separating between each other.

Zi Su, hurry and come over here!

I won't.

As the old saying goes, 'you won't become good friends if you don't fight first'.

But look at you people!

I at least did save you today, isn't it?

Am I right? Yet what were you planning to do?

You wanted to swallow the food by your own. You wanted to get rich silently.

Is that right?

Is that right?

You didn't even tell me about it at all.

That's right. This...Master Ma, what you said is right?

We young people are not sensible.

From now on, let's forget about our past conflicts.

Let's earn together.

Zhan Xiong Fei! What nonsense are you saying?!

Don't worry, Bai Ze. I surely wouldn't reduce your share.

Isn't it, Master Ma?

No...

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Magic Stars Team @ Viki

Zhan Xiong Fei,

I really wasn't wrong about you.

This is called 'a wise man submits to circumstances'.

Then I'm really such a wise man.

Tomorrow, let's all go and find the treasure together!

Find treasures, of course!

Find the treasures! Applause!

- Find treasures! - Applause!- This...our stuff...can we first...

- Put that down. Put that down.- I...how about...

Put that down.

- Don't anymore.- Put down. Put down.

Why must I give it to you when we still haven't found the golden treasures?

Hey! Before we set out, I still have one little request.

Princess, please say it.

I've toiled for so many days and still haven't taken a bath.

I want to take a bath tonight.

This is easy. Jia Nan, Nan Jia, go and heat me some water.

- Yes!- Hey!

I want him to serve me.

Why me?

It must be you.

Hey, you. Service Princess Zi Su in her bath.

Zi Su! Stop it already!

Don't interfere with my business.

Hey, I asked you to come here to serve me.

Why are you just sitting there?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Zi Su, do you feel that your Princess status is some amazing thing?

That you can just order people around? Let me tell you.

A lot of people don't really value your Princess status.

Isn't it you just don't want to bathe me?

It's fine. This isn't really some big deal.

But...what I'm concerned about is...what really is your motive for getting near my Brother Bai Ze?

What is your scheme?

You must clarify everything by today.

Or else, don't think of leaving here with your reputation intact.

What really are you planning to do?

I don't plan to do anything.

Look. In here, there are only the two of us.

If I randomly make up anything about you,

you think everyone will believe you

or me?

I don't need any reasons in doing anything.

I also don't need people to trust me.

You quite are hard mouthed.

Let me tell you, A Ji Ya.

There will come a day that I will expose your true color!

How Princess thinks has nothing to do with me.

But for today, may Princess just take a bath by yourself.

Hey! You are not allowed to leave!

Let go of me!

You better clarify everything to me by today!

- Let go!- I won't!

- I told you to let go!- You must clarify things first!

- Let go!- Tell me about it first!

What is this?

A Ji Ya! You...

Yo, you're back!

What's wrong with you two now?

Brother Bai Ze, A Ji Ya bullied me!

She purposely made me stumble at the bath pool.

She has evil intentions!

How come I don't believe it?

Brother Bai Ze, whose side really are you?

You've only known her for a few days!

This is not a question of knowing or not knowing.

All of you were blinded by her appearance!

I'm sleepy already.

Just because you say you're sleepy, you're already really sleepy?

I think that you are just avoiding me.

Zi Su, we are now being locked up in here.

What we need is to work together.

Stop being this petty already, okay?

I am petty?

A Ji Ya, come over here!

- Come over here!- What are you doing? Let go of me!

You guys, look! Something is written on her arm!

- What are you doing?- Zi Su!

- Zi Su! Stop it already!- Look!

- What are you doing? Let go!- There is a weird drawing on her arm.

She definitely isn't some good person. She has a totem!

What totem? Look!

Zi Su! Stop it already!

Look. Where is the totem?

That can't be.

I saw it by my own eyes earlier.

It's here. There was a totem.

Absurd!

You...

Brother Bai Ze, I saw it with my own eyes.

Once this matter about Ma Da Dao ends, you go back to the Palace.

How come it's like this?

A Ji Ya, sorry.

You don't need to apologize to me.

I am apologizing in behalf of Zi Su.

How come it's like this?

What's the story behind your arm injury?

I thought...that I won't recall this thing anymore.

Good thing, the totem only appears in warm water.

Or else, I'm in big trouble.

Emperor! Emperor!

Eunuch Cao, what is it now?

I just received news earlier.

Two days ago, fire suddenly broke out in the punishment bureau.

It got totally burned to the ground.

What?!

General Su and those ministers that planned to filed a complaint together

were all inside that time discussing about major official matters.

All of them died inside. None survived.

The Palace Guards that were guarding that time kept claiming

that the fire accidentally started from the inside and there were no external factors.

Accident?

Ding Song, this cunning and treacherous man...

Such a good 'to stop the soup from boiling, take away the firewood from under the pot' scheme.

Emperor, ensuring one is alive

makes you still have a chance in the future to take revenge.

From my opinion, the Palace now is not safe.

Better just go out and hide.

Really never thought...

the fight with Ding Song hasn't really started yet

but he already was able to force me into this state.

If only Master Bai Ze is here, how good will that be?

Okay. As you wished. A real man is able to prop up and bow down.

Let's go look for Bai Ze and Zi Su today.

Hurry and make arrangements.

Okay.

Zi Su, are you still thinking about that thing?

Right now, I don't have any hard evidence.

A mute eating a bitter herbs. Can't say about one's sufferings.

Of course I'm unhappy!

Stop also faking that you are concerned.

I won't fall for it.

Then you plan to forever hold on to this grudge?

You can fool others but not me!

Princess, weren't you unable to see anything on my body?

That can't be! I saw it with my own eyes!

You probably know magic or something.

You still believe in magic?

Is this magic terrifying?

Stop making up scary things to frighten me.

You think I'm that easy to amuse?

I'll just consider that I'm having bad luck. That I'm blind.

But I totally will not believe that you are innocent.

Princess Zi Su...

What are you doing?

Your Lady Highness Princess,

- Zi Su...- Is Zi Su a name that a person of your status can call?

Princess, I just beg you to believe on one thing about me.

That is I will never harm you all.

You were the ones who saved me.

I also want to repay that.

I can also be considered useful.

Won't having one more comrade be good for you all?

Even if what you are really sincere with your words right now,

you surely has something that you're hiding from us.

Anyone can have things that they are hiding in their heart and don't like to talk about.

Isn't it?

Who says so?

I don't have any.

You don't have any...

but you can't allow others not to have any, right?

Fine. Fine. Fine. I can't beat you with words.

Then how about this?

I can only half believe you?

What do you mean by that?

I believe that whatever I saw with my own eyes were true.

But I am also willing to believe that you won't harm us.

That's why, I can only half believe you.

What are you really planning, A Ji Ya?

Then...what else can I do?

I...you think I would steal your Bai Ze?

Hey! Who told you to talk about some Bai Ze?

Saying it like someone cares about him.

If you care about him, then you care about him.

What's there not to admit?

It's not illegal.

What illegal or not?

I don't care about it being illegal or not.

What I care about is...how can he treat me like that?!

He is too much!

Tell me. Who won't get angry?!

I grew up with him.

You only met him for how long?

Yet he kept covering up for you.

I am always bad.

Always wrong.

Tell me then. If any dares to bully me like that,

if this is in the capital, I will surely let my Royal Brother punish him.

How come I'm telling you these?

Did I hurt your arm last time inside the prison cell?

It's nothing.

Sorry. I didn't mean it, A Ji Ya.

Brother! Brother!

I've already checked on our route. We can set out anytime.

Of course. Bring them all out.

Set out! Go!

Go! Brother, let's go!

We're setting out!

Hey, Master Ma!

Don't touch me.

- Brothers, starting today,- Starting today.

quite possible,

we will become the worlds'

- richest bandits!- Great!

Let's move out. Look for the treasures.

Okay! Okay! Okay! Let's go look for treasures.

Is this thing reliable or not?!

Minister Ding, what do you mean by that?

I know very well about my own illness.

What miracle doctor, what magical medicines will not be able to cure it.

That's why, Minister Ding, you never really took in the medicinal soup that I prescribed you. Am I right?

I know the source of your illness. It's in here.

Let me ask you. Did you give the Emperor a check-up recently?

No.

Then you should at least know some news about the Emperor, right?

Minister Ding, I am only a doctor. I only do matters that's within the realm of my duty.

I don't know anything about other things.

How long do you plan to act?

It was the Emperor who sent you to check my illness. Isn't it?

What else does he want you to do?

Minister Ding, I don't know what you're talking about.

If you don't want to be examined today, I'll take my leave.

Minister!

Doctor Qian Meng is also here.

Minister, I just got news from the Palace

that the Emperor and Eunuch Cao have gone missing.

Eunuch Cao, how far are we from Yanjiao Town?

Probably less than 50 miles.

Don't know how Bai Ze and Zi Su are doing now? Are they still in there?

What did Bai Ze said in his latest pigeon-delivered message?

The paper is too short for him to say all the details.

You also know that Bai Ze

only reports good news and never the bad ones.

That's right. Just be at ease.

They are auspicious beings.

They surely will be okay.

Oh, right, Eunuch Cao.

This place is so barren. How come there are no farms here?

This place is located in the intersection of several towns.

There are a lot of merchants so naturally, there are fewer farmers.

This is not surprising at all.

You wouldn't have just said those randomly to make me happy, right?

I dare not.

Your Majesty, let's just continue on our way.

Okay. Let's go.

What's wrong?

What's going on?

Woah!

- Is it painful?- It is indeed quite painful.

It's fine. It's just a bug bite.

This kind of wound will easily heal. Don't worry.

The desert here is very fast. Don't know what bugs are in here.

Everyone, please be a bit more careful.

I know already. Everyone, be more careful.

Brother Dao! There's no more water!

Brother, we don't have water anymore.

No water?

See if there are leaks.

Brother, there really isn't any water.

How about let's just go back to the mountain lair and get some?

What go back? Look at the treasure in front. Do you still want money or not?

- I want to. - Boss, if we don't have any water while here in the desert, how are we still going to continue forward?

Are you a man?

Holding on is success.

- Move forward.- Move! Move!

Let's go. Move forward!

- Get up already!- We want a bottle of water.

Let's go now. Get up. Hurry and get up.

What?!

Big Brother, we want to drink some water.

Still not moving out?!

Water?!

The water truck leaked water so it has nothing to do with me.

- This is a desert!- Without any water, how are we going to continue moving forward?

Even if you have to drink your urine, we still have to find the treasure. What water?!

- I want to drink water!- Big Brother,

there are no water in the desert so how are we going to continue our travel?

Bring out everything that can carry water in it.

It will be raining soon!

Hurry up!

Big Boss, look there.

There! There!

There are fruits. There are fruits.

There are fruits there to eat! There are fruits to eat!

I'll go get some fruits for everyone.

Hey! Wait for me!

Brother Fei.

Xiong Fei!

We finally got it back!

Something is not right.

Bai Ze! A Ji Ya! Hurry and come back! Hey!

Hurry and come back! Hurry! Hurry!

How come it's you again?!

Careful.

Don't come near us!

I'm going to beat you!

I don't mean to...

Zi Su!

Hey! Hey!

- Let go of me!- Zi Su!

Zi Su, don't be afraid. I'm here to save you!

- Hey! - Ohhh...

Don't...

Let go of me!

Hey!

Let go of me!

I am a criminal!

Father... mother...

I miss you two a lot!

Yuan Shuai!

What?

You're here to save us?

- That's right...- Let go!

We are almost going to be killed by you!

That's right!

My whole family are criminals.

Zi Su!

I don't need to look for you.

You will also come to look for me.

Jia! Jia!

Yanjiao Town

Yu!

Emperor, it is already Yanjiao Town in front.

Oh...hey!

- Remember. When we reach the town, you must stop calling me Emperor.- You...

This...hey, how about just call me Master Shang.

You are Butler Cao.

Yes.

Hey, old man. Can I just ask a few things?

How should we go to reach Casual Guests' Inn in this town?

The two of you should first enter the city then just follow this main road.

Not far on the road, you will already see the signboard of Casual Guests' Inn.

- Thank you.- You're welcome.

Let's go.
