[Episode 25]

Sir Zhao,

I've never believed you would die without a hard fight.

What could you do if I told you?

The man behind me is way too powerful.

Let alone you, even the court,

the Empress herself can't afford to act against him.

State Preceptor, Tian Qiao.

You guessed right.

But so what?

There's nothing you can do.

The only thing I want to do right now

is to get out of here.

That's impossible.

It's about time.

Where is she?

Who're you talking about?

Signal flare of the government army, how come?

Why, I brought them here of course.

Keep up!

Boss!

Boss! Bad news!

Government army have somehow found their way here.

They...they are fighting their way in.

Bring me my weapon!

Yes!

I'm not late?

Your timing is perfect.

Ye Yuan' an, what' re you doing here?

I'm here because I knew you were unreliable.

What?

Sir.

Infanta Minghui, in a battle,

a general has always to have back-up.

You intended to set me up,

but ended up doing me a favor.

Without you, I'd never manage to track down

the whereabouts of their lair.

Cunning bastard! Kill!

Protect Infanta Minghui.

I wish I could kill her.

Go. Now!

Infanta, hold on!

You're involved in an important case.

It was supposed to be my lucky day

when I marry you.

How could I die here?

You deserve it.

Beauty, come with me.

We could be a ghost couple.

Are you okay?

Where's my little brother?

It's poisonous.

Bitch! It's all your fault.

Just take me back now.

Xiaohu.

Xiaohu.

Who did this?

It's him.

That's your decision to make.

You're the brave and smart one.

Big brother!

Let's go!

You hideous traitor!

I'm not!

Rat! How could you burn down our granary!

I did this only to save all of you.

Once there's no food,

you don't have to besiege Huodu Hill.

You think you're the smart one?

Have a look around.

Zhao Sir and Miss Yuan' an are not here.

They have headed to your lair.

Second brother! Listen to me!

Let's head back! Our cottage is under raid!

What?

Boss!

Boss! Boss!

Stop! Let's head back!

Boss!

Xiaohu.

Xiaohu!

With God and every soldier be my witnesses,

my fellow brother Xiaohu was killed by the bandits.

Thus I vow to eradicate all of them

to revenge his death, or I shall not deserve to be a man.

Bros, bros!

Wake up, bros! Wake up!

Bros!

Wake up! Is there anyone alive?

Hurry! Come on!

Bros! Talk to me!

Brother!

Boss.

Boss.

Boss!

Boss.

He's dead.

Boss!

Bastards! I'll kill all of you!

I'm going to spare you.

Go back and send Zhao Lanzhi a message for me!

Doctor, how am I doing now?

Please tell me the truth directly.

The poison on the dart

is made from the venom of vipers in the hill.

Although I've take out most of it,

there's still some remaining in your body.

My humble suggestion is that this tent is under-equipped

with scarce medicine.

So you should hurry back to Luoyang for better treatment,

lest there be any sequela.

But I feel I'm okay now.

Thanks for your kind suggestion.

But I'm not leaving before defeating the bandits once and for all.

You can leave now.

Yes Sir.

Your medicine.

How about we head back now?

The bandits have suffer a great loss anyway.

We can always come back later when you feel better.

Come back later?

When is later?

When we come back later,

they would loot and plunder again,

and occupy the hill as their base.

If we spare them now,

they would rise up in no time.

Then what's the point of the lives

of the killed soldiers and their sacrifices?

You know that's not what I mean.

I know exactly what you mean.

You're defending Mu Le, aren't you?

Fine.

I believe you.

That he's been drugged and not a monster.

But he's still one of them, do you get it?

Didn't you see how many fellow men he has killed?

And while we're at it,

I want to hear the truth.

Be honest with me,

are you...

are you in love with him?

That's all your imagination.

Now he is nothing

but a servant who has betrayed me.

It's you who I'm worrying about.

You're not well, and you know it.

Then you should not get in my way.

Fine, just...

just have a rest, a good rest.

And we'll discuss about it later, OK?

Just try to calm down.

Miss Ye, Infanta Minghui is throwing a tantrum now.

She would neither eat nor drink.

I don't know want to do with her.

- Follow me.
- Yes.

Let me go.

You were working with the bandits,

so Zhao Lanzhi should have you killed on the spot.

But lucky for you, he didn't.

Zhao Lanzhi...

Is he alright?

Did he die of the poisonous dart?

Thanks for your concern. But he wouldn't dare to die before you.

Open the door.

What are you doing?

Now you listen to me.

All our food has been burned up.

So these are taken from what scarcely left for our soldiers.

Be good and eat them.

Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.

Let go of me. Have you forgotten who I am?

Once I'm back in Luoyang,

I will have you and all your families killed!

What?

You think I don't know what you have done?

Qianduan Brothel, Luotian Cave,

and skin switching.

Are you going to deny it?

Don't take me for an idiot.

And listen carefully,

now we're far way from your royal family,

I'm without any scruple.

Plus, Zhao Lanzhi is sick.

Without him containing me,

I'm not sure whether I would behave myself or not.

You wouldn't dare.

I might.

Ye Yuan' an.

Remember what you've done to me today.

You shall pay for it one day!

I will.

It's you.

Why didn't you leave with the others?

And I thought you would leave here.

It's a big world,

yet I'm not welcome by it anywhere.

If a tree falls down,

it's natural for the monkeys to leave it.

If a river dries up,

it's natural for the fishes to swim to another one.

You're not from the Huodu Hill,

neither have you stayed here for a long time.

What's the point of staying now?

True.

I'm not born here.

But people here were kind to me.

They would not boss me around,

let alone wronging me.

But now they were killed by those who once mistreated me.

I can't accept it.

I want revenge.

But other bandits have left already.

There's nothing you can do.

I'm not seeking to confront the troops.

I just want to take one man's life,

which I can manage by myself.

Doctor.

Good.

Okay, now bring it to Zhao Sir.

Yes.

Wait a minute.

- Miss Ye.
- Miss.

What's this?

It's made from some local herbs

that can strengthen one's body.

With Zhao Sir's refusal to go back to Luoyang,

there's nothing much we can do.

Go.

Yes. Let's go.

Guess who I am?

What' re you doing here?

I'm telling you.

Have you noticed that

ever since you got out of the basement,

you've forgotten who you are.

Do you know where this place is?

And do you know that Zhao Lanzhi is dying to find and kill you.

You don't tell. I don't tell. Nobody would know I'm here.

But you are right about one thing.

Since the moment I got out,

I've never wanted to return.

It's so much fun outside.

I could tear down a wall upon seeing one,

and burn down a fence at my will.

That's only because Zhao Lanzhi is sick now,

he can't stop you.

Do those things when he's on his feet again,

you'll suffer a lot.

Hurry and go back now.

It's been a long time since we met for the last time,

and you don't even miss me.

I'm being kind now

and coming to your help, Okay?

Just counting my fingers, then I knew that

a lot has been troubling you lately.

Keep being so harsh on me, I'll leave.

So...I'm leaving now.

Mu Le has betrayed me.

Zhao Lanzhi has fallen ill. And you're bullying me.

Stop crying. That's okay.

Don't cry.

There there, good girl.

I'm here to help you, Okay?

Er...

Stop crying.

Everything will be alright.

It's okay.

Okay...I...

I'll start with Zhao Lanzhi.

A promise is a promise.

Then we'll worry about Mu Le.

Let's go.

What' re you looking at?

Never seen a woman crying like this?

Mind your dish!

- Let's go!
- O...Okay.

Zhao Lanzhi!

So close.

Should I came any later,

this brat would die in any minute.

Old man, who are you?

How dare you make such ramblings in front of our leader?

See? I've told you.

They won't believe me.

Yuan' an,

you're doing it again, bringing some random guy into my tent.

He's not a random guy. He...

he's a famous untrained doctor in Luoyang City.

You're very lucky to have him here. I'm telling you.

When we were kids,

Yuanning was bitten by a viper,

and was this close to death.

Luckily, he saved Yuanning.

Absurd.

Mr. Zhao' s kung fu is indeed amazing.

You can even endure such horrible pain.

You're feeling twitches of pain in your chest now.

Sometimes it's freezing cold, while sometimes it's burning hot.

Were it not for years of martial arts training,

you'd be so painful that you'd be rolling on the ground.

You're hiding it to keep up morale.

And there is a black line on your arm.

If it stretches to your palm,

you would meet your death.

- Monkey business.
- Really?

Let me see.

Zhao Lanzhi,

do you think that I want to hurt you?

That I brought a trickster here to fool you?

So you'd rather die than believe me?

Fine,

how can you help me?

The venom in your body

is Bijin Snake Venom in Huodu Hill.

It has high levels of toxicity,

but it's not incurable at all.

There' re people from the Hill who got bitten once but survived.

So if they are bitten again,

they would be immune to the venom.

So just find one of them,

draw some blood of his, and transfuse it to your body.

Then you would be healed.

Are you listening, Zhao Lanzhi?

What are you waiting for?

Fine, I'll do as you say.

So, do you feel better?

See? You're all right.

Thank you for saving my life.

You're very welcome.

All right now?

Do you feel cold? Or hot?

Not trembling anymore?

You...try grabbing the chopstick.

Now you can do it with your left hand.

Don't get carried away.

One thing you should keep in mind is

that you are severely injured although you have been detoxified.

So no Kung Fu or exercise of internal force,

or you would lose your life.

By that time, even God himself is unable to help you.

Really?

You don't believe me?

Then go and gamble with your life.

Goodness!

Sir,

this fellow returned from the Hill.

He has a message from bandit Mu Le.

What is it?

Sir,

we were cleaning the battlefield as ordered.

But the bandits were back,

and Mu Le spared just me to take a message to you.

[We'll have a bloody battle within three days.]

[Get lost!]

Good.

I'll wait for him, human being or monster.

I don't care.

I'll take his life

to revenge the dead soldiers and Xiaohu.

Anytime.

Yes.

Come on.

I saved your life,

for it was me who brought the doctor.

You should thank me.

How?

I only ask for one thing.

Let me deal with Mu Le when he comes.

You just stay out of this.

Weren't you there when Xiaohu died?

Didn't you hear the message

he just sent to me?

He's a bandit and he wants me dead.

Yet you're still defending him?

He is my servant.

So I will take care of his business, good or bad.

Whether he's a monster or not,

I promise that

I'll take him to the court.

I don't want to see

either of you get hurt.

True, I do care about Mu Le.

But I also care about you.

Haven't you heard the doctor just now?

No practice of kung fu in months.

If something happens to you,

who could lead the soldiers?

You only see my concern for him.

Why can't you see my concern for you?

Zhao Lanzhi, how can you be so narrow-minded!

Fine.

You have my words.

I'll leave Mu Le to you when he's here.

But I have to warn you

that if you let him go,

I would never ever forgive you.

It's a deal.

Any idea?

Any good idea?

Let go of me.

- Come up with ideas, or...
- Let...

Or I'll push off your whiskers.

Let go of it first.

I am thinking hard now.

What're you thinking?

- Spill!
- It's easy.

Mu Le is like a child, innocent and stubborn.

All he wants to do

is to kill Zhao Lanzhi, right?

Lean over and listen carefully.

Nice one.

- Kneel down.
- Down!

Keep still!

Don't struggle.

Leave him alone.

My plan was to send you into the troops,

so you could find an outlet for your extraordinary strength,

to make some achievements.

But what have you done?

The moment you arrived at the Hill,

you turned into boss of the bandits.

Are you planning to kill me too?

Are you listening?

Mind you,

you once worked for my family.

I'm too familiar with all your tricks.

Remember that you're my horse boy.

I am not.

Loose the strap.

But Miss Ye...

Loose it.

- Yes.
- Yes.

You said that within three days,

you would kill Zhao Lanzhi.

And I will give you three days.

But you've got only three chances.

Each time I catch you,

you would lose one of them.

Now that I've had you for the first one,

there' re only two left for you. If you lose, you lose.

And if I have you for the third time, then...

Then what?

Then you come back with me.

Here we are. Bandit.

What do you have to say for yourself?

Feel free to kill or torture me.

Are you challenging me?

Zhao Lanzhi!

You have promised

to let me handle him.

Let him go.

You tricked me.

War allows tricks.

I might have hurt you!

But you withdrew the sword.

You don't want to be enemy with me, do you?

I still have one chance.

And I shall not miss it.

Just wait and see.

You are a softhearted and kind person,

who can never become a vicious villain.

It was an accident that you came to the Huodu Hill.

You are just angry about

the humiliations directed toward you.

I still have one chance.

And I shall not miss it.

But what if you miss it?

I'd rather die.

True.

It's better to die than leading such a miserable life.

We've had him twice.

What about the last chance?

This kiddo is actually pitiful.

He was too simple so that he kept being tricked

by us and Zhao Lanzhi.

As for the first time,

we knew him enough

to work on his weaknesses.

Then, we took advantage of his soft spot,

which is you.

However, I don't think that

even a simple guy like him would fall for a third time.

What's more, when you push too hard,

he's likely to beat all of us.

Could you please stop analyzing the situation?

What I want to know

is what to do now!

Let me ask you.

If he just refuses to return

no matter what the outcome is,

what would you do?

I won't let Zhao Lanzhi kill him,

or vice versa.

What if you have to make a choice?

Fine, if I have to...

I made him join the army against his will in the first place.

He must have suffered so much here

that he couldn't stand it anymore.

So if he has to be executed,

he has to be executed by me.

As long as you are sure about this,

things are much easier.

But Mu Le is indeed hard to cope with.

Unlike ordinary people,

he heals so quickly from injuries

that it seems he was never hurt.

To kill people like him is by no means easy.

Once I was told by Xiaohu and Zhao Lanzhi.

During one of the previous fights,

some strange scales grew all over his body out of a sudden.

And he became so powerful

that he even returned the sent-out arrows.

So he is getting increasingly strange. But...

but he's getting more and more interesting too.

Do you think he is a monster?

Then is he drugged like General Guo?

No.

People don't act like him under spell.

Don't panic. Let's think.

When General Guo was drugged,

he lost his humanity.

But Mu Le aimed to cause no harm.

You said yourself that the arrows

were without arrowheads when returned by him.

That means he didn't want to hurt anyone.

As long as he keep this up,

everything's okay.

Haven't we seen enough mysteries in this crazy world?

You have a point.

He can't be a monster. I trust him.

Okay.

Two methods. That's what I'll teach you.

This would do. Let's go.

This way.

[Isn't he the old fellow]

[at General Guo' s house the other day?]

[What is he doing here?]

[Aren't those the Nine Divine Beads?]

[How did he get the Divine Beads?]

[And he's got two of them.]

Is dinner delivered to Infanta Minghui?

Yes Sir, it has been delivered.

Infanta.

Zhao Sir.

Military meal is no comparison to that of Luoyang City.

Please excuse us.

Zhao Sir, you have kept me here

and treated me with dignity.

Now you ask me to excuse you for the simple meal,

I'm so flattered.

Now most bandits have been eradicated.

But there's still a few of them.

It won't take too long.

When we're back in Luoyang,

you will not be under my charge.

Then the Court of Judicature and Revision?

I've already told you that

there's nothing you can do about me.

Imprison me?

Impossible!

Zhao Lanzhi.

How are you doing with the wounds?

Thanks for your concern.

Thanks to the help of a master,

I've basically fully recovered.

Master?

Where is he from? What is his background?
