An Oriental Odyssey

Episode 29

Don't move.

Why can't you just stop hurting Yuan'an?

I don't know why she deserves what you did for her.

Please forgive, Princess.

This is what State Preceptor asked me to do.

Mission accepted.

Zhan Lanzhi, the Preceptor wanted me to kill you.

How can I deny his orders?

And you've been kneeling down for Ye Yuan'an for such a long time.

How could I just let you go?

I hate you.

Empress, please ask the Preceptor to release Yuan'an.

And find Chen Tianshu in other ways.

Stand up.

Follow me to see the Preceptor.

Yes.

Look at you,

how could you get old like this?

Too old?

Not that old.

But look at you.

Nothing changed after 19 years,

still fat, a meat ball.

This hat is used for covering your scar.

It's nothing now.

It's the past.

I have something to show you.

When our master passed away,

the Divine Beads fell away, but now I gather them.

With the two in your hands,

it's all there.

Here you are.

It's nine.

So you know why he caught me back here.

Merely for the Divine Beads.

I finally find the Nine Divine Beads.

Shu, is it so powerful and amazing?

Surely it is.

Once you get the bead, the world is yours.

He's right.

Master would never let us to practice the magic arts by it.

But 19 years ago, he used it to get the beads.

Then he killed other apprentices.

And he only decoded one incantation.

Then he forged the countless deadly weapons for the Tang Dynasty.

And he became the Preceptor as it happened.

It's all thanks to the Beads.

Tianqiao, did I say anything wrong?

What were you talking about?

There's one bad man in two of us.

That is you.

The wanted criminal, Chen Tianshu.

But I am the Preceptor, Tianqiao.

The renowned master with a kind heart.

Tianqiao.

What about you checking the two beads at first?

At that time, I risked my life to protect the beads.

The master gave them to me by himself.

But don't forget that without my permission, they'll never be yours.

What do you want?

I want the truth.

19 years have passed.

The truth has been covered for 19 years.

You lived under such a good-man disguise for 19 years.

I think it's time to reveal the truth to the world.

If I told you the truth, would you give me the beads?

Only if you say it, then you can get them.

If I tell the truth, you can do nothing to punish me.

Master...

has passed away.

Tianqiao, what are you doing?

Tianshu, Tianshu, Tianshu.

Tianqiao.

Please.

Return the beads.

Give or not?

Here you are.

That's all.

Where are yours? Give them to me.

I always trust Tianshu.

Now you admitted it, so it is confirmed that he did nothing wrong.

So what can you do?

You'll die anyway.

What about me?

I also heard the truth.

So you, the Preceptor, will kill me? Right?

Your highness.

My highness.

My Empress, why do you come here?

For two reasons.

First, I want to know who put the illusion drugs in the censer,

near the bed in the Emperor's room?

Second,

I want to see the wonder.

The late Emperor said before he died that,

once you get the Nine Beads, the world is yours.

I heard that you've gathered them all.

And beyond my expectation, I can find out something else today.

I know you said you are the murderer of what happened 19 years ago.

You said that... if I told the truth, I'd have the beads.

Is it true?

It is.

Yes.

That's it.

I am the villain who did whatever I can to get the beads.

Qianduan Brothel is built to get the beads from Xianya.

I asked people to build Luotian Cave,

and to skinning case in Prince Nanjing.

The death of General Guo and the turmoil of Huodu Hill,

were all schemed by me.

I want to get the Nine Divine Beads,

so as to get the power to rule the world.

Damn Empress.

You know what the power is like.

Now you've known the truth,

then what can you do?

What can you do?

You all have to die.

Wait. Tianqiao.

Mother.

- Mother. - Father.

Father.

Master.

- Mother. - Master.

- Mu Le. - Master.

- Master. - Mother.

Master.

Tianqiao.

Wait, I have to tell you something.

Mother.

What do you want to say?

You didn't find me in the past 19 years.

Did you ever think why I suddenly show up today?

It's not that you found me, but I found you myself.

What did you mean?

Although without the power of beads,

I can also kill you.

You idiot.

You have two beads in your hands,

but you didn't practice at all.

In the past when our Master was still alive,

our martial arts almost ended in a tie.

But now I can kill you so easily.

But you are still so arrogant.

Can you kill me now?

If you can hurt me,

I would permit you to be the owner of the beads.

What do you think?

You are so loyal.

Well.

You can die for your master.

Actually you can kill others from his back.

It is two to three cm under the left scapula.

Stick here to death.

Ye Yuan'an.

Tianqiao. It is all over.

It's not too late to give it up.

Master.

It's my fault that I let Tianjiao take the beads away.

But don't worry.

I would never let this happen again.

I believe you'll help me to protect it.

Master.

Minghui.

Is it Minghui?

I still have a way to go.

My girl comes to save me.

Master.

If you don't end like this,

will you treat me like your disciple?

I will.

You are always my best girl.

That's right.

I want to assist you to get the beads.

I risked my life for so many times.

You never praised me before, only blamed me.

You threatened me with my family.

And you wanted me to kill Zhao Lanzhi.

Zhao is my enemy, but he treated me better than you.

You don't deserve to be my master.

Minghui.

I know I was wrong.

I know I was not nice to you.

But now,

if you save my life,

I'll teach you what all I can do.

What about it?

My girl?

Come to help me to stand up.

Give me your hand.

Do you think I don't know what you're planning for?

If I do you the favor,

you will take all my blood and my soul away.

You'll revive.

I'll become the dried corpse.

Master.

At the last breath of your life.

you still want to kill people.

The beads are mine.

The world is mine.

Are you feeling alright, Empress?

I'm good.

I thought you wouldn't come back.

I said I won't leave you alone.

Yuan'an.

You told me you buried him by your hands.

You lied.

You promised me not to kill him.

You!

I almost died.

Nearly died of the huge rock.

Stop it.

What we have suffered is not enough for you?

When can it end?

Yuan'an.

This man knelt outside of the Emperor's room,

for three days, just for you.

It is polite to extend your gratitude, isn't it?

I...

Mr. Ye.

Empress.

You have a good daughter.

But your other family members' integrity is worse than hers.

Thanks for your lesson, Empress.

It's my fault.

Tianshu.

I've heard of you for a long time.

I've heard of Empress for a long time.

Well.

The mysterious case years ago has been discovered.

You aren't guilty anymore.

People will pay for what they've done. And evil never wins.

It's a pity that we didn't arrest Tianjiao now.

His heart was hurt, but he still has great magic power.

If he returns again,

I don't know what we can do.

Wait, don't hurt Minghui.

Dear Empress, I finished my mission.

I got back the beads for you.

And I've killed the escaped Tianjiao.

Here is his head.

Minghui. Thanks a lot.

Stand up now.

Empress, don't trust her.

She's on Tianjiao's side.

Empress, there's something of Minghui needed to be investigated.

And we still don't know if she still works for the Preceptor.

You can't trust her easily.

Today is a good day.

It's time to tell you the truth.

You all misunderstand Minghui.

I've been planning to get back the beads for years.

I heard from the last emperor about the legend of the Beads.

And I am suspicious of Tianqiao.

So I deployed Minghui as a spy to serve the Preceptor.

It seems that Minghui works for him.

But she actually works for me.

My plan lasts for so many years.

Destroying the Preceptor,

and stopping illegal activities under his leaderships,

two missions were conducted simultaneously.

So without Minghui, we can't win.

You don't have to be so shocked.

Empress must know the things you don't know.

Can you have any precautions more well-prepared than Empress?

I thought Shuiyue set me up with others' help.

Before we tried to trap her into the Palace,

she found her way in and wanted to see you.

The Princess's route to the marriage ceremony is so mysterious.

Based on all above,

it won't be too difficult to find the one behind this.

But the killers were dead.

We can't move on anymore.

As we went to the Huodu Hill, the bandits fought back,

and someone was helping them secretly.

It can tell that there's something behind these cases.

Who is behind all this?

Who are you suspicious of?

The State Preceptor.

Lanzhi, the Preceptor has a high rank.

Without any evidence,

I can't let you do the investigation.

That's what happened.

Everything is the Empress's plan.

We almost ruined it.

Well, now we won.

You all will be rewarded.

Thank you, my Empress.

Long live, my Empress.

Arise.

Great thanks.

Empress, what did you see?

The world.

The world of mine.

Empress.

So many secrets of the Beads need to be figured out.

You can't fall into the illusion, or it will result in the disaster.

If we don't know it, we should decode it.

Tianshu.

I've announced your innocence.

And I will reward you.

Tianqiao is not our Preceptor anymore.

I will tell our Emperor to designate you as the new one.

I hope you to decode it as soon as possible.

Fulfill your loyal duties to help the Great Tang to rule the world.

My great honor.

My Lord.

Thanks.

Sit down, please.

Thank you.

Hurry up, sit down please.

Uncle. Xia.

Master.

Is everyone here?

Master, they are all here.

Then sit down.

Thank you.

A few days ago, many things happened to our family.

Fortunately, we've been through it.

We were safe.

This is the protection from God for our family.

Well, for we've been through it.

Let's have a toast.

Thank you, master.

Yuan'an.

When you needed me most,

I didn't trust you and protect you.

I'm not qualified to be your father.

Dad, what are you talking about?

No matter what happened,

you did a lot for me.

You're my dearest family.

I have to thank you.

Thanks you for realizing the trick of Tianqiao,

saving Tianshu and helping the Empress,

you are much better than me.

At last, you didn't buy Tianqiao's deal.

Or I... and our family... can't live a life like this.

We and our offsprings may even be executed to punishments.

Now, the Empress likes our Lady a lot.

Then our lord's position in the palace is stable.

Now our lord and mistress can have a good rest now.

Dad, I am not that excellent.

I just don't want to see the evil win.

And I hate the villains.

Good!

Great happiness will befall our family.

Yuan'an.

Your father has said what I want to say.

From now on, I'd take care of you as I can.

And I'll help you to marry to a good family.

And we can take good care of our grandsons.

Mother, it's too early to talk about it.

Come on.

Let's toast you sister.

Sister.

It's a great honor to have a sister like you.

That's enough.

Today is the day to celebrate that we survived all difficulties.

I declare that there's no classes between us, we all are family.

Eat at will, and enjoy the food.

Have a nice night!

Thanks, my Lord.

Here.

Cheers.

Uncle Xia, please accept my toast to you.

Drink it, Uncle Xia.

- Drink it. - Okay. I'll do it.

- Drink it. - Okay.

Today I have a chance to say something more.

It's not only because of me that we can survive it.

I want to thank someone else.

Here, I want to thank...

Mr. Zhao arrived.

Mr. Ye.

I'm sorry I'm late for some work.

I'm glad that you come here.

Make yourself at home.

Yuan'an, you sent your invitation.

Then Mr. Zhao came here.

Dad...

How could I send an invitation of family party?

Look at you.

You sent him the invitation.

But you dare not to admit it. Don't pretend it.

I...

Come here.

Mr. Zhao, the wine is full in.

Drinking is so boring, what about finger-guessing games?

- Three starts above. - Eight horses.

- Five top scores. - Seventh day meeting.

- Two people married. - Five top scores.

- Four seasons fortune. - Six good wishes.

- Drink. - Fine.

- Come on. - No problem.

This time I'll win, too.

Two people married.

It... it's not in.

- Six good wishes. - Seventh day meeting.

Here.

Again.

- Five top scores. - Six good wishes.

- Eight horses. - Four seasons fortune.

I drink.

Drink it.

Mu Le.

What are you doing outside?

We haven't been seen each other for a long time.

Here.

Drink... with me.

Mu Le.

You can't drink like this.

You'll get drunk after a while.

A lot of people like you now in the mansion.

Well.

I have a question for you.

You left. But why did you come back?

I...

I know.

You did it for Miss Yuan'an.

Mu Le, listen to me.

We are the servants.

It's what we should do to serve our masters.

You are nice to our Miss.

You do whatever you can.

She knows it well.

She also treats us nicely.

That's her kindness.

She is learned and well-educated.

But as a servant,

we should only be stick to our duty.

Look, who is she?

The beloved daughter of a great family.

Her marriage has been arranged by the Master and Mistress.

She would marry to Zhao Lanzhi sooner or later.

You know it?

I like her.

And I know she likes me.

We like each other, then why can't we be together?

Mu Le, I've told you. You still don't understand it.

Well, listen.

You are the servant.

Yuan'an... is our lady.

You have different social status.

It's waste of time to like her.

You'll get nothing in the end.
