[Episode 13]

6

Thank you for your help,

Young Master Lei.

7

It's a small matter.

8

You shouldn't worry about it.

9

Just stay at Lei residence...and rest for a while.

10

All my expenses at your residence...

11

will be fully paid...when Young Master Gao returns.

12

You're being too polite,

Lady Xiao Qing.

13

[Lei Residence]

14

Come.

15

This way please, Lady Xiao Qing.

16

Hold it.

17

So, you still know to come home.

18

Father.

19

You've a lot of nerve

calling me your father.

20

Look at what you do everyday.

21

Spending your days

drinking in music parlors.

22

Getting yourself drunk every night!

23

And you even fought

for the top courtesan!

24

I grounded you to repent.

25

And look! You snuck out in the

middle of the night.

26

You are bewitched by this fox

and now you even brought her home!

27

-Listen to me, father.

-Scoundrel!

28

Father!

29

Will you not stop until I die?

30

Lei family has always been righteous.

31

I'm doing this as I couldn't stand

what the rascals did to her!

32

- Chu Yu. Escort her out of here.

- Yes.

33

Father. Can't Lei family show

some mercy on a poor girl?

34

Fine.

35

Since Lei family is so cold-blooded, I'll arrange a shelter for

Lady Xiao Qing myself.

36

I'll be back after that!

37

Mind you! Once you step out,

don't bother coming back!

38

Lei family doesn't need

an insolent son like you!

39

Let's go, Lady Xiao Qing.

40

Brother!

41

Why are you doing this?

42

Father. Brother has always

wanted to learn the zither.

43

Why don't we let Lady Xiao Qing...

44

What are you waiting for? Go get a room ready

for Lady Xiao Qing.

45

Mister Lei. I've been by myself since young.

46

Playing zither is my only skill.

47

I was forced into this

harshness to survive.

48

I didn't choose this.

49

If I may, Master Lei, I'd like to teach Young Master Lei

the zither with all my might...

50

to repay his kindness

for saving my life.

51

Father. If I can learn the zither

from Lady Xiao Qing,

52

I promise to behave and

not fool around anymore.

53

Father. Tomorrow morning, I'll be at the account room

to learn business from you.

54

Let's go, Lady Xiao Qing.

55

- Chu Yu.

- Father.

56

Starting tomorrow, your brother is prohibited to take

a single penny from the account room.

57

Yes.

58

This way.

59

Here.

60

This is a simple room, I hope you won't mind.

61

Please don't say that,

Young Master Lei.

62

I'm truly fortunate

to have found shelter.

63

Thank you, Young Master Lei.

64

Sorry for all the trouble caused.

65

Not at all. Please don't mind what my father said.

66

Just make yourself at home.

67

You must be exhausted

after all the hassle yesterday.

68

Just tell the servants

if you need anything.

69

Sure.

70

I shall leave now.

71

What did you just say?

72

If we don't secure the

agreement with Thunderbolt Hall,

73

we may never get enough

gunpowder in the future.

74

Mother.

75

Why did you barge in?

76

Have you forgotten the

manners you were taught?

77

Mother. I heard about the niter

and I'm concerned.

78

I would like to help, by leading our men

to mine for fresh niter.

79

We'll have the niter safely

delivered to Lei family.

80

You?

81

How will you do something that even

the Left Guardian couldn't achieve?

82

Ridiculous.

83

My wise mother. I might not be competent in fighting,

84

but when it comes to

formation and voodoo,

85

out of the entire Moon Sect,

only you and I know how.

86

Now that the Moon Sect is in trouble,

87

how can I look on

being the Young Mistress?

88

Mother, please give me a chance

to contribute to Moon Sect.

89

In that case,

90

you and the Left Guardian

will be in charge of the delivery.

91

Thank you, mother.

92

One more thing. Qing Hui. Inform Lei family

93

to

send some men to assist.

94

Yes.

95

Young Master Lei.

96

Did you rest well, Lady Xiao Qing?

97

Thank you, Young Master Lei.

98

The hospitality is exceptional.

99

I'm overwhelmed by it.

100

I'm not a meticulous man.

101

Please tell me if

you still need anything.

102

You're being too humble,

Young Master Lei.

103

"Rain Pavilion"

104

When can I play the zither as

well as you do, Lady Xiao Qing?

105

If you could practice more,

106

your skills will improve

by leaps and bounds.

107

Are you still thinking of

Gao Meng Fei, Lady Xiao Qing?

108

Has Young Master Gao

not returned to the city yet?

109

Not yet.

110

Is this your most

treasured possession?

111

Young Master Gao gave

it to me when we first met.

112

But I can see that the

jade ball is old and broken.

113

It may be old, but it is still an object

of remembrance.

114

By the way, Young Master Lei.

115

The city is has gotten crowded lately.

116

I don't find it

convenient to go out alone.

117

Can you send the jade ball

to the repair shop for me?

118

Life is short.

119

We should all treasure the

moment we're living in.

120

Let the past be gone with the wind.

121

I'll get it repaired for you.

122

But I think you should teach me

some zither plucking skills now.

123

You're here.

124

Is it time for medicine again?

125

Young Master.

126

"Lei Residence"

127

If Gao Meng Fei is here

for Lady Xiao Qing,

128

tell him that she's

out of town with me...and won't be around

for these few days.

129

Yes.

130

Chu Yu. I was about to look for you.

131

Please withdraw some money

from the account room for me.

132

Brother. Father said not to

give you a single penny.

133

If I withdraw the money for you, father will have my legs!

134

Forget it, brother.

Father is waiting for us.

135

-Let's go to the account room.

-I'm not going.

136

-You're the one handling the accounts.

-Brother!

137

Father will be angry if you don't!

138

Don't you want to keep

Lady Xiao Qing here at home?

139

Fine. I'll go with you.

140

Let's go.

141

Let's go. Stop being grumpy.

142

-Father.

-Father.

143

Follow me.

144

What are you doing, Brother?

145

Can't you let father

have a peace of mind?

146

Come over and help.

147

Father, if the accountant of

Thunderbolt Hall is incompetent, you can always get him substituted.

148

Why do you need Chu Yu

and I here for bookkeeping?

149

Moreover, the treasures here are

enough to last for generations.

150

Why are we still working

hard for our business?

151

What do you know?

152

Mind you. Don't you tell other

people what you just said.

153

Yes, I know.

154

Brother, I've recorded the jade bangle

you just broke into the accounts.

155

Go ahead.

156

When will we receive

the niter that we booked?

157

Father. I didn't have the

courage to tell you this.

158

This batch of niter...was robbed.

159

What?

160

Don't you worry.

161

I've wrote them a letter, asking to dispatch another

batch as soon as possible.

162

I never expected that

Lady Jiang would join in the action...

163

and help Tower Master

with the strategy.

164

I am more familiar with

Mister Xie's preference.

165

Virtual reputation

means everything to him.

166

I'm now a part of Snow Tower.

167

Of course I have to share the

burden of the Tower Master,

168

and help as much as I can.

169

Mister Xie is supervising

the gunpowder matter,

170

and this creates great

pressure to Lei family.

171

Lady Jing has delivered the message.

172

Thunderbolt Hall will press on

Moon Sect for the delivery of niter.

173

Please inform Huang Quan

to make preparations.

174

The Moon Sect will send out

stronger troops this time around.

175

Yes, Tower Master.

176

Mister Xie is a royal veteran.

177

Under such complicated circumstances,

178

he is under the Emperor's order

to supervise the gunpowder .

179

It shows how influential

he is in the ministry.

180

Please make arrangements for yourself.

181

It's time for you to meet Mister Xie.

182

Yes. I shall excuse myself now.

183

Please be frank with me, Tower Master.

184

Will we strike Thunderbolt Hall?

185

Is everything settled in Snow Tower?

186

The Snow Tower will

only be assisting you.

187

If Lady Jing and you don't take action,

the Snow Tower shall not move a muscle.

188

The vengeance of Sand Valley

shall depend on the two of you.

189

So next up, it'll be the battle between the gunpowder traders

190

Gao Meng Fei and Lei Zhen Tian.

191

Wise Mister Xie.

192

It's not us who are causing the delay.

193

There has been some accident.

194

We are short of materials

for gunpowder making.

195

Therefore, I'm asking you

a favor to extend the deadline.

196

That's easy for you to say.

197

The border is in an emergency!

198

Are you saying that Lei family has a way

to persuade our enemy

199

to postpone their attack on us?

200

Please forgive us, Mister Xie.

201

Of course I understand the difficulty

that the border army is facing.

202

But niter is the key

to gunpowder quality.

203

Only niter of the best quality

can make good gunpowder,

204

to aid our warriors at the

battlefield for a glorious victory.

205

Look at you.

206

Since you knew that we need the niter,

207

you should have come

up with a solution sooner!

208

You know what?

209

Somehow, these gunpowder

traders learned about the situation,

210

and they've sent me

collaborative invitations.

211

Do you mean Gao Meng Fei, Mister Xie?

212

His gunpowder can't

be compared to ours.

213

Please excuse him, Mister Xie.

214

My son knows not of customs.

215

Please forgive him, Mister Xie.

216

I'll have you know, Mister Lei.

217

If you're unable to deliver the gunpowder on time,

218

and cause trouble to

the royal family,

219

all of you in the Lei Residence...

220

All of you!

221

Thank you for the reminder,

Mister Xie.

222

I'll send more men to

escort the delivery of niter.

223

We will definitely deliver it on time.

224

That's right.

225

Speaking of escort, I remember

226

when the Crown Prince of King Zhen

Nan came to Luoyang 2 years ago,

227

and the incident at my residence, Snow Tower was always there to help.

228

Three years.

229

Three years have since passed.

230

Snow Tower is now one of the

top clans in the pugilistic world.

231

In the entire martial community of Central Plain, no one is a match for them.

232

Mister Lei.

233

I heard that the Tower Master of Snow Tower is heading towards Jiangnan and passing by here.

234

Why don't you pay him a visit?

235

Mister Xie.

236

Snow Tower is truly well-known now.

237

It's just that...

238

Mister Lei.

239

I'm only handling the gunpowder

matter under the Emperor's order.

240

If your family can deliver it on time, as promised, everything will be just fine.

241

But if you want to gamble away

the good name of Lei family,

242

I have nothing more to say.

243

The decision is in your hands.

244

I'll walk myself out.

245

Father.

246

Everybody knows of the enmity

between Snow Tower and Moon Sect.

247

Mister Xie is right.

248

Snow Tower will never know

that our niter is from Moon Sect.

249

It will be fine as long as we make it clear on both sides to not give away any information.

250

But...

251

Enough.

252

We can only take this risk now.

253

Find out what's going on

in Snow Tower, Chu Yu.

254

Yes.

255

I won't be in Moon Palace for a few days, so I won't be dropping by.

256

Mister Lei.

257

Thunderbolt Hall may intend

to seek Snow Tower for help,

258

but we'll still have to see if you are able to

provide us the price we want.

259

Do speak, Xiao Tower Master.

260

I want to know your secret

recipe in gunpowder making.

261

Snow Tower always

requires a high payment.

262

Please be deliberate, Mister Lei,

before making a decision.

263

Is anything troubling you,

Lady Xiao Qing?

264

I feel bad for staying at

your residence for so many days.

265

Forget about that.

266

Right.

267

About the jade ball you

asked me to repair last time,

268

the repairman said that

it was severely damaged.

269

So...

270

I bought a brand new

one for you, Lady Xiao Qing.

271

I can't take such

an expensive jade ball.

272

As long as you like it.

273

I'll throw it away now if you don't.

274

Young Master Lei!

275

I like it very much.

276

Thank you, Young Master Lei.

277

As long as you like it.

278

You know what?

279

I bought it with the money

I secretly took from my father.

280

And I beat Gao Meng Fei to it.

281

Young Master Gao is back?

282

Yes, he is.

283

He didn't come to see me, did he?

284

Forget about it.

285

Tower Master, Doctor Mo said you had to

take your medicine on time.

286

I've recovered.

287

Doctor Mo is worrying too much.

288

Tower Master.

289

I hope, one day... you'll let go of that old jade ball.

290

As for those unhappy memories, leave them behind too.

291

Brother! Brother!

292

It's him!

293

Who is it?

294

Be careful!

295

I didn't even see how he struck.

296

And the wound is but an inch.

297

You're such an expert.

298

May I have your

name please, my savior?

299

Xiao Yi Qing from Snow Tower.

300

Xiao Yi Qing.

301

Xiao Yi Qing is

really the master of all.

302

He came to the pavilion like the wind.

303

When I turned to him, before I saw him move,

304

in a flash, that man fell to the ground.

305

Why would the Tower Master of Snow

Tower save a girl from the brothel?

306

And he appeared right in time.

307

-Father.

-Father.

308

I thought it fishy too.

309

But I was told that it was Gao Meng Fei who knew Lady Xiao Qing

was in grave danger.

310

He used 5 carts of gunpowder

to ask Snow Tower for help.

311

If my combat skills

were good enough, he'd have no place in this.

312

Where is Lady Xiao Qing now then?

313

She went to thank

Gao Meng Fei for saving her.

314

Everything is exposed now.

315

My identity would be exposed

if it wasn't for you, Tower Master.

316

Do you know the assassin?

317

His skills had improved

tremendously these 2 years.

318

Once hatred is planted,

it never banishes from the heart.

319

Only death can stop it from growing.

320

Really?

321

With broken strings, where's the point in making music?

322

You know well that broken

strings are hard to mend,

323

why shall a man's hatred

be any different?

324

Hatred is like a sharp blade.

325

It cuts off the past and

changes one's fate.

326

Just like the broken strings, they have no turning back.

327

If it wasn't for my eye disease

due to poisoning back then,

328

I might not have let him get away.

329

How are your eyes now, Lady Jing?

330

Thank you for your

concern, Tower Master.

331

Everything is good now.

332

Getting our hands on Lei's private

overseas banknote through Lei Chu Yun,

333

means obtaining proof of

their betrayal to the nation.

334

If we hadn't found anything unusual in the gunpowder ash

from Yongzhou battle,

335

Lei family could have covered this matter, without leaving any traces.

336

I'll look into it at Lei Residence, and send for news if I find anything.

337

In order to please you,

Lei Chu Yun has even...

338

stolen banknotes and bought the

most expensive jade ball in store.

339

You worry too much, Tower Master.

340

There's always a faint

medicine smell on your body.

341

It is stronger today.

342

I just had a bowl of medicine.

343

I was always just suspecting.

344

But smelling it again today, it smells exactly like

the medicine in the infirmary.

345

I heard that people in the city...

346

love watching shadow puppetry

at the west side city recently.

347

Which story is your favourite?

348

I don't watch shadow puppetry.

349

I was wrong after all.

350

Judging by his temper,

there's no way he was the doctor.

351

Perhaps all medicine smell the same.

352

When your father was young,

he used to travel the world.

353

He passed by Sand Valley

and we got along very well.

354

He forged this unrivaled sword yet no swordplay ever

rivaled to this sword.

355

Until after 3 days of drinking

and sword fighting with me,

356

he finally invented

this unrivaled swordplay.

357

Is it time for medicine again?

358

Thank you.

359
