[Wrong Carriage Right Groom]

[Episode 7]

[Qi Residence]

[Recently,]

the Qi Residence has been afflicted with

many unsettling events.

What do you mean?

My reserved and honest eldest brother,

Qi Tianxiang,

grew weaker by the day.

He was once a robust and healthy guy,

but he suddenly became unconscious

and passed away just like that.

Less than a year after my eldest brother's passing,

misfortune also befell my second brother.

My second brother, Qi Tianfang, was carefree by nature

but not spoiled.

He had a much stronger physique than me.

If he could have overcome his frivolous habits,

he could have been a

valuable asset to the Qi family.

But on that

hot summer night,

Tianfang

slept on a cool mat with the windows ajar.

Late into the silent night,

he was struck by snake venom

and didn't survive.

That's odd.

Why would such poison

appear in the manor?

Following the

consecutive deaths of my brothers,

a rumor has spread through the Qi Residence,

claiming that the third son of the Qi Mansion will not live past the age of 25.

Back then,

I was scared out of my wits and couldn't sleep properly.

My health went downhill.

And...

What happened next?

I was utterly defeated.

I felt like

a sick bird

trapped in a gilded cage.

So, I spent a whole day

ditching all the maids and servants,

and I ran off to

the forest outside the city.

[In the end, my master,]

[Liu Ruoqian,]

[saved me.]

Master brought me back to the Qi Residence

and told my grandmother

that there was still hope for me.

My grandmother then kept him at our place,

and he ended up becoming my master.

He even taught me some martial arts skills.

Seems like

you've had quite a rough ride.

The old times feels like another world entirely.

My master is like my second parent.

I understand your journey

from illness to wellness.

But you still haven't filled me in on

why you faked sickness?

My mentor spent half a year here

and got a grasp of the Qi family's situation.

He told me

that while money might be a lifeline

for poor families,

it's like a lethal poison

for the Qi family.

Sure, we've got these fancy pavilions and lavish halls,

but someone in the Qi Residence

has turned into a cunning wolf with murderous intent.

He even advised me

to keep a low profile

and act like I'm still recovering

from a serious illness

just to catch this wolf off guard.

Why not ask your master

to deal with this cunning wolf?

Rome wasn't built in a day.

This person is lying really low.

We'll need some time

to catch them in the act.

Seems like there's not much

to look forward to at Qi Residence.

Are you planning to return to Yangzhou?

The Qi Residence

is like a fragile glass,

shining but delicate.

I'll be returning sooner or later.

So,

are you thinking of bringing Du Bingyan back?

That's impossible.

Bingyan is a delicate lady.

Unlike me,

I'm fearless and skilled in martial arts.

What you just said

is priceless.

I, Qi Tianlei, do not seek the heavens or the earth.

I only wish for Miss Yuhu to stay

and lend me a helping hand.

Why should I help you?

Remember,

you owe me a favor.

What do you want me to do?

Catch the wolf.

You've been training in martial arts since you were young

and are a true martial artist.

So,

what do you think?

You can count on me.

General.

General,

here's your medicine.

Du Bin,

I've definitely seen you somewhere.

I...

General,

I told you.

The day when you returned after gaining victory,

you were on your horse, and I was beside you.

No.

Let me get your bandage changed.

I'll do it.

This is...

I was injured in a battle against a different tribe.

We fought for a week straight,

but it was worth it.

This wound

seems over three inches deep.

They're all old wounds.

This was caused by the betrayal of a former comrade.

I couldn't fend off the hidden arrows from behind.

Your dedication to the country and its people

and your willingness to sacrifice yourself

are truly inspiring.

I'm surprised a young apothecary like you

would understand such profound principles.

I've had a bit of schooling before this.

I should change your medicine now.

It might sting a little.

Hang in there.

Master has repeatedly emphasized

that arrow wounds are hard to heal,

especially poisoned arrow wounds

like yours.

General,

you should really get some rest in bed.

Alright.

I'll help you get dressed.

General,

your place seems disorganized.

How about I help you tidy up a bit?

Okay.

Pingwei.

You mentioned

that the General had lost two wives.

What's the story behind that?

His first wife died from childbirth complications.

Neither the mother nor the child made it.

What about his second wife?

It seems like she

accompanied the General on a distant expedition

to the southwestern border

but fell seriously ill and couldn't recover.

Don't you know how to serve your uncle some water?

Sorry about that.

I have a question.

Didn't General Yuan

send someone

to chase after that woman who fled?

The General is swamped with battles.

He wouldn't have time for this.

He said he'd

respect the lady's wishes.

Pingwei,

you should look up to General Yuan in the future.

I got it, Uncle.

You've said it like a broken record.

This helps strengthen your body.

Make sure to take care of yourself.

Thank you, Uncle.

You're always so clueless.

I'm not.

[What's going on?]

[These two...]

[Wait.]

[She's obviously a girl.]

[Du Bin.]

[Du Bin?]

[She's not Du Bingyan.]

But she is indeed a bride.

[His name is Du Bingyan]

[with a character short.]

General,

it's time for lunch.

This seems like a feast.

You've been poisoned by an arrow,

so you need to watch what you eat.

I've picked out some ingredients

that can help with recovery.

Give it a taste.

Oh, I almost forgot

you're still injured.

I should feed you.

It's fine.

I'm a dignified general.

I can't allow that.

You may be the general,

but you're my patient now.

We follow your lead on the battlefield,

but by the sickbed,

you'll have to listen to me.

Let me feed you.

How does it taste?

Being a seasoned warrior,

I've rarely had warm meals.

Having something warm to drink is a real treat.

Have some more, then.

[Qi Residence]

Xiaoqiao,

what brings you here?

I'm here to deliver Third Young Master his medicine.

Hold on.

Young Mistress,

Xiaoqiao is here to give Third Young Master his medicine.

Third Young Mistress,

the medicine is ready.

Third Young Master has to drink it

so that Old Madam can be at ease.

He's already asleep.

Leave it to me.

You can go rest.

Xiaoqiao,

Third Young Master is already asleep,

and he isn't feeling well.

I'll thank you on his behalf.

You should head back now.

You need to wake up early tomorrow.

Goodbye.

Third...

They're dying because

they drink this every day.

I finally understand

why you've been raising these mice.

Remember to take one dose per day.

Here, Du Bin.

Follow me.

Next.

Thank you.

You're almost back in shape.

Du Bin,

get him some more Type B Pills.

Okay.

Type B.

Du Bin, how's work?

Thanks.

Why are you here?

Uncle,

could you prescribe me the pills from last time?

Du Bin,

get him a Type B Pill.

Du Bin,

this pill work wonders.

Uncle, why don't you prescribe Du Bin some?

Do you have nothing to do?

Should I ask

the general to give you some extra training?

Forget it. I'm fine.

Thanks.

Get moving now.

Du Bin,

take a seat.

Let me check your pulse.

Me?

Give me your right hand.

Master, I...

[Just as I expected.]

I'll write you a prescription later.

Check it out when you're alone.

[Come to Linzhou with a carriage.]

[Hard journey to make it to the border town.]

[A lady disguised to get in the barrack.]

[Prescription] [Put on a good show in the General's tent.]

[Don't forget there are strict rules.]

[Be careful not to risk your life.]

[If you need my help,]

[we'll meet tomorrow to discuss the details.]

Du Bin.

Master.

This medicine I prescribed you

isn't too unpleasant, is it?

No, not at all.

I've roamed the world and saved many lives.

Du Bin, I'm confident in curing

your ailment.

General,

as per your instructions,

I've checked our military records.

There's no one named Du Kui

serving currently.

We had people from Yangzhou

among the cavalry from two years ago,

but they were redeployed to the south last year.

[General, are you inside?]

You may leave.

Yes, General.

General.

Du Bin.

General,

I'm here to examine your wounds.

Master,

the General's wounds are all healed.

Alright.

General,

let me check your pulse again.

Go ahead, Mr. Liu.

Don't worry, General.

Two more days, and you'll be ready to join the battle.

Thank you, Mr. Liu.

Du Bin,

I had someone check the military records.

We don't have anybody named Du Kui here.

My brother is not here?

But...

But back then...

What brings you to the military camp?

I...

-I... -General,

my disciple was

still a kid

when he started following me.

He couldn't fathom the intricacies of military affiliations.

All he remembered was his brother enlisting in the army.

That's why he

traveled with me across various military camps.

I see.

[Buqu.]

[Buqu,]

the enemy is challenging us to battle again.

Not again.

They even bought cavalries this time.

They might charge our camp.

Get my battle armor ready.

Wait.

You can't join the fight today.

Aggravating the wound could impede its healing.

Mr. Liu, we can't afford to wait.

Pingwei,

gather a hundred archers

to confront the enemy.

I'll monitor their movements.

Yes.

General.

Du Bin and I will go with you

to be on the safe side.

[Jincheng Town]

General,

the enemy has been challenging us for two days.

They have cavalry in the front and infantry in the rear.

It seems they're planning a camp assault.

They're emphasizing their cavalry this time,

trying to exploit our weaknesses.

Our archers and long spearmen

are ready for action.

It's unlikely the enemy will attempt a direct attack.

We should split into units,

maneuver around, engage the enemy,

or feign defeat

to lure them into our trap.

What if they attempt a direct attack?

Well...

We'll have to face them head-on then.

-He's right. -What if it's a direct attack?

Yeah.

Anything else?

General,

although I've never fought in battles,

I've studied some military literature

and have a strategy to propose.

Would you be open to hearing it?

Of course. Please go ahead.

While Master and I were working in the military camp,

we noticed that the enemy forces had been persistently disrupted by our army

and were low on supplies due to distance from support.

Their troops and horses

appear exhausted and fatigued.

While I was on the lookout from the tower,

I noticed the same indicators.

What supports your claim?

Lately,

I've been observing from the tower

while the enemies are cooking.

I noticed that they use large iron pots

for cooking in their camp.

Using our own camp as a reference,

I deduced that approximately thirty soldiers

share a single pot and stove.

This plan simplifies mobility and combat.

They arrange themselves in thirties.

I guess

the enemy has a similar approach.

Moreover, I realized

that recently,

the enemy's cooking frequency

has visibly decreased.

How do you know that?

Jincheng Town is dry.

To start a fire,

a specific type of dry twig is needed.

While these twigs burn easily,

they also produce dense smoke.

Lately, I noticed

a significant reduction in the enemy's smoke.

In such circumstances,

there's only one likely explanation.

They're running low on food.

Looks like you've figured it out too.

You are meticulous

and keen.

Well done.

Given this military situation,

do you have any strategies in mind?

Well,

considering the enemy's soldiers are starving,

their horses

must be starving too.

In that case,

why not

distribute some freshly cooked black beans

to our front-line soldiers

and scatter them on the ground

when the enemy cavalry approaches?

Wait, Du Bin.

The enemy is about to attack our city,

and you want to feed them?

That doesn't seem like a wise plan.

Continue.

The aroma

of black beans will waft through the air,

and once the starving horses

catch the scent of black beans,

they're likely to scatter in all directions

and disregard the enemy's commands.

We can use this chance

to launch a surprise attack.

Take my orders.

Yes.

Do as Du Bin said.

Get ready now.

Roger.

[Jincheng Town]

Retreat.

Let's go.

-Quick. -Hurry up.

Master,

this question has been bugging me.

How do you know both my name, Du Bingyan,

and the name of that girl?

In fact, I know everything.

Miss Du from the Du family in Yangzhou

was supposed to marry

Qi Tianlei from the Qi Residence in Linzhou.

Meanwhile, Yuan Buqu from Jingzhou

was set to marry

Li Yuhu from the Li Residence in Yangzhou.

You two ladies wed on the same day,

rode in bridal sedans together,

and entered the Fairy Temple at the same time.

You mistakenly took the wrong veils

and ended up in the wrong carriages.

Master,

how do you know everything?

Well, I have a knack for fortune-telling.

People call me

Fortuneteller Liu.

Master,

it's truly an honor for me

to become your disciple in this lifetime.

From now on,

I want to learn medicine, swordsmanship,

martial arts,

and foreseeing the future from you.

Sounds like you're planning to learn

all of my lifelong skills.

Even if you're my daughter,

I might not teach you everything.

Well, Master,

what about...

What?

Please take me in as your adopted daughter.

I'll be glad to have a smart adopted daughter like you.

Adoptive Father,

please accept a bow from me.

Come on up.

Bingyan,

I'm not

some kind of prodigy.

I came from Linzhou.

The Third Young Master of the Qi family

is also my disciple.

Tianlei is pretending to be sick

to deal with those wicked people in the mansion.

Right,

Yuhu is incredibly skilled in martial arts.

Both of them seem to be

a match made in heaven.

Fate is inexplicable.

Things took an unexpected turn in Linzhou,

and a fortuitous match was made.

If the two of you could

hit it off in Jingzhou,

then you married the right person,

although you got into the wrong bridal sedan.

Master.

Stop calling me Master.

Adoptive Father.

Stop making me blush.

Du Bin,

I've been looking for you.

Your strategy was truly brilliant.

We managed to defeat

the enemy's cavalry.

Really?

Lieutenant Sha,

tell us about it.

What do you want to know?

The story about the black beans?

Yes. What exactly happened?

Well,

scattering black beans

might sound like a small move.

But it's actually a brilliant strategy.

When the enemy's warhorses

catch a whiff of that black bean aroma,

they all lower their heads

and start searching for beans to munch on.

That's when we strike.

Our war drums sounded like thunder

as we charged ahead.

The enemy was taken aback,

and their leadership crumbled.

We charge straight into their main camp

like slicing through vegetables with a knife,

and we emerge victorious.

Take a guess.

Who do you think proposed the idea?

Who is it?

Lieu-Lieutenant Sha,

we have no idea.

Just spill the beans!

Yea.

Let me tell you.

It's none other than

my clever brother,

Du Bin.

-Du Bin? -Who is Du Bin?

Buqu, you're here.

General.

I asked you to train them,

and you're goofing around.

The guys are worn out.

Give them a break.

I wonder who criticized

the idea at first.

Well, Buqu...

How are your injuries recovering?

It's nothing serious.

That's good to hear.

I'm here today

to let everyone know

that we're

throwing

a celebration feast tonight right here.

Everyone's

expected to be there.

No excuses.

Buqu,

do we have enough meat and alcohol?

All you think about

is eating and drinking.

I...

Of course.

Have a hearty drink tonight.

-Great! -Amazing!

-Thank you, General. -Thank you, General.

Thank you, Buqu.

Thank you, General.

Go on with your story.

After you're done, make sure they get some rest.

Okay.

Adoptive Father,

we're running out of medicinal herbs.

The medicine chest is almost empty.

What should we do?

I'll go back to Linzhou to fetch some herbs.

And I can also check on

Yuhu and Tianlei.

By the way, Adoptive Father.

Give me a second.

Adoptive Father,

I found this today.

Adoptive Father,

what is this?

These are tokens of two infatuated souls.

I have a senior named Feng Che.

He was a brilliant medical practitioner.

He saved countless patients back then,

but sadly,

he couldn't save himself.

Why does this lotus

only have half its petals?

Where's the other half?

Also,

what happened to

Mr. Feng

you mentioned earlier?

This half-golden lotus

is a token of affection

between my senior and the woman he loved.
