[Ever Night]

[Episode 08]

Haven't you been probing into
Yulong Gang's backer?

You even dared used the army

and collaborated with Cultivators
from other states

to kill Yulong Chief, Chao Xiaoshu.

I'm telling you, Yulong Gang's
real leader is me.

So that's why Chu Xiaoshu
is Second Brother.

You aren't ignorant.

Kid, why'd you help Chu Xiaoshu
that night at his Pavilion?

He gave me 500 silver.

His Majesty likes a sentimental person.
I, Old Xu, do too.

Would you give your life
for honour in Tang Empire?

Honour can be bestowed.

Not a life.

Stubborn selfishness.
At least make some effort.

Listen well. From today,

you're a Secret Guard.

Secret Guard?

Your Majesty, your servant
waits in shame.

I regularly read poems.

Not I or anyone

even thought "Yulong" (Fish-Dragon)
had another meaning.

We should be ashamed
to face Your Majesty.

Scholar Zeng, you're so astute.

Thanks, Your Majesty.

Other than me in Tang, who'd
dare to use this word (dragon).

I'm so disappointed in you all-

you ignored the law
and oppressed the people.

And you were foolish.

Such a simple thing and you
took 10 years to find out.

You make me truly pained.

We are at fault.

Your Majesty, stay calm.

Rise.

Thanks, Your Majesty.

I asked Chao Xiaoshu
to establish a gang for me

to gather information
from the masses.

But because of your haggling
over small gains,

he's been forced
to the foreground.

He's lost his effectiveness.

Commander Xu, what must I do?

Your task is simple; just
get information secretively.

Then, Commander Xu,
what's "secretively" mean?

Can I go home prosperous?

Can I set off fireworks and
wave flags at Lin 47 Street?

Do I let the world know
I'm doing this job?

Sure.

You can do that and more.

You mean?

You tout Empress and Princess's
names to stir up the Capital,

but you don't know

Empress is very clear about

Yulong Gang's link to
Imperial Family.

My Yu'er, when young,

went to Spring Wind Pavilion
with me.

We know our fault.

Little Brother knows his fault.

Does the outfit suit you?

Not bad, looks nice.

As a Secret Guard,
hide your identity.

Today you're dressed like that

because it's a joining ritual.

But only wear it twice,

on the day you join,

and at your funeral.

Why laugh?

This outfit is nice
for my own funeral.

Don't be mouthy.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

As a Secret Guard, don't
reveal your identity to Officials.

We'll meet outside the Palace
in future.

If needed, someone will contact you.

Then when do I meet the Emperor?

You really think you came
to meet the Emperor?

Qi Siwei is a Secret Guard
but he's never met him.

You think you qualify
to meet the Emperor?

I tell you, I'm busy.
I met you today

for Old Chao's sake.

Someone will take you back。
Change straightaway.

But it looks nice.

Can I secretively
wear it at home?

Get out now.

Get out.

[Grand Prince's Manor]

(a letter)

Strong outside support
is reassuring.

Brother Emperor, the battle
between us is just starting.

It's an honour to witness your
breakthrough into Fate Seeker level.

Greetings, Princess.

Congrats, Uncle Chao.

Viewing fish led to a Tang
Great Sword Master-Fate Seeker.

You flatter me.

It's no more than some realization.
You may call me by my name.

I don't merit the 'Uncle' title.

When little, I went with Father
to your residence.

Uncle Chao, you held me then.

I'm unworthy

for you to address me as a senior.
That makes me concerned.

You may all go.

I want to talk privately
to Uncle Chao.

Was the Shubi Lake Woodcutter useful?

Princess, I just asked him
for a favour.

It was joining forces, not using.

Well said, 'joining forces'.

If so, you two become Brothers.

I just want to remind you

one egg in a basket is easy to break.

After all, you have one chance.
Just one egg.

That little Brother might get
into Tang Academy, or join the army.

But no matter what, he'd
take good care of himself,

not letting anyone hurt him.

I have one egg, but I can choose
not to put it in a basket.

He didn't take the chance
I gave him. I thought

he was someone who doesn't care
about money and fame.

I didn't realize he thought
it wasn't an impressive debut.

He wanted another way
to show up in the Capital.

No matter what, it was me
who brought him here.

So he's mine.

You used my person,
so you owe me a favour.

You think too well of me.

After Spring Wind Pavilion battle,
you can't stay a simple commoner.

Since I returned to the capital,

I must help decide the future.

I believe you're a smart person.

You'll make the right decision.

Your Highness is very
similar to your mother.

Uncle Chao knew my mother?

Empress Cui was beautiful
and very intelligent.

She was His Majesty's
beloved woman.

Was beloved.

Sadly, Mother died.

It's just me and my brother.

I took on a mother's role.

That's something I had to do.

I heard Uncle Chao

were a prodigy when taking
Tang Academy test.

Because of Father,

you were hidden in the depths
of East City.

He likely feels guilty about you.

But you must still live in
the 'sea' called Tang.

You must eventually pick
a direction to swim.

I'm a small fish

but I don't like to live in a pond...

even if the pond is as big as a sea.

It's still a pond.

So if I must pick where to swim...

maybe I'll choose the shore.

A fish will die.

Even so, I'd rather breathe air.

Jianghu may look dangerous,
but there's freedom.

It's freedom to not choose.

I'm sorry, Princess.

His Majesty awaits me
in the library.

I take my leave.

Commoner Chao Xiaoshu
greets Your Majesty.

What commoner? Second Brother!

As Big Bro, I must catch up
with you.

The trump card has
been revealed.

I won't overstep my boundaries.

It's fine.

We won Spring Wind Pavilion battle.

Consider your next steps.

Come.

Tell First Brother your plans.

Your Majesty, I have a request.

Tell me. As your Big Bro,
I can agree to anything.

Come on, walk.

Little master.

What's Official Chang Siwei want?

Boss Ning...

no, I should call you Secret....

Don't.

I'm here to congratulate you.

No need, no need.

That's my horse.

Master Ning, you're bullying
an honest man.

This is an army horse
just got from the wilds.

This is my horse.

Then try to call it.

Blackie, Blackie.

He knows me.

I've army tasks. I'll go.

Let's go, walk, walk...

Who is it?

Sang Sang.

Keep this safe.

What's this?

It's an Imperial Guard's
identification pass.

Young Master, you became a Guard?

It's Secret Guard.

What's a Secret Guard?

Someone in the shadows.

Then...how much in a month?

Probably...20 to 30 silver taels.

That's not a lot.

Sang Sang.

We're already important enough
to have 500 silver taels.

We mustn't be so stingy
with words and actions.

Young Master, squat down.

What for?

What's this?

Today, someone delivered this.

So much silver.

Master Qi Si brought it.

In total, it's 2000 taels
of silver!

I thanked him, and poured him tea.

Well done. But why'd you put
the money under the table?

I can't carry it.

I'll carry it upstairs.

Eunuch Lin, I think it isn't
going well inside.

I think not.

His Majesty hasn't been
so angry in ages.

That night, on news of bad
events at Spring Wind Pavilion,

His Majesty simply slammed
the table a couple of times,

he cursed and said "imbeciles"
about 30 times.

But today...

Chao Xiaoshu, if you still
don't appreciate my favours,

don't blame me for chastising you.

I've already decided.

You're a really stubborn person.

You don't even understand
basic societal politeness.

Today, now, Second Bro Chao,

I ask you again.

Will you stay or not?

I won't stay.

Go!

Your Majesty, please take care.

I'll take my leave.

What's going on today?

This...there's no sound again.

What's wrong?

Leaving my cage,
I return to be free.

('A fish jumps across the sea')

Maybe, you are right.

Second Brother.

Second Bro. Second Bro,
are you alright?

After today, Yulong Gang

will no longer have Second Bro,
Old Chao, of Spring Wind Pavilion.

But after all these happenings,

I finally broke through the net
and resumed my destiny.

Congratulations, Second Bro!

Second Brother.

His Majesty should've
let you go earlier

to enter Tang Academy.

Agreed! With Fu Zi's ability
and your quick wit,

you'd already be enlightened.

- Yes.
- Delayed 10 years.

Second Brother.

Some things may be better delayed.

Let's go.

~No need to talk~

~Night's curtain has lifted~

~Whether success or failure~

~Don't fear to look ahead~

~Act unhindered~

Brother.

I got revenge for you.

I know.

For you to rest in peace,
we need greater revenge.

Trust me.

I told you- good people
shouldn't die in vain.

Your dad,

your mom,

your little sister,

all your village's people,
as well as Lin household...

won't die in vain.

Even if only I'm left,

I'll avenge you.

[Zhou'er]

~I've seen a sea of clouds, changeful as dreams~

Mom tied this string on me
for all my life.

From now on, let it bind us
all our lives.

~I've been to oases~

~no borders or shores~

~I've kissed rivers~

Ning Que, when I grow up,

after learning all the skills,
I'll come to find you!

~I called myriad stars here~

~dim and dazzling~

~I've seen a sea of clouds~

~changeful as dreams~

~I called myriad stars here~

~dim and dazzling~

~I've been to oases~

~no borders or shores~

~I've kissed rivers~

~Spring passes and comes again~

Little Boss, good to see you.

Greetings, 2nd Brother Chao.

I'm leaving the capital.

Boss Ning, if you're in trouble
in future,

you can look for them. But I believe,
if you put in good effort,

Boss Ning's business will prosper.

At that time, don't forget
to take care of my Brothers.

You flatter me.

This little shop will need
to rely on Brothers in future.

You've met Qi Siwei.

He's now Yulong Gang Chief.
And Chang San

is now Transport head.

If they face issues,

they may seek your help.

Ning Que, I know you're doing
something dangerous.

A man of integrity should
be selective in his actions.

Some things are best not
carried out at this time.

I like hearing those words,
'man of integrity'.

I was overthinking. You dared
accompany me to Spring Wind Pavilion.

Why would you fear anything.

I'm leaving.

He left like that.
The noodles are just done.

And I fried an egg for him.

- Smells good. - Though you
exempted 3 months' rent,

I still won't feed you noodles.

I like your calligraphy.
It has murderous intent.

I've rarely seen
such killing spirit.

I know that.

Good calligraphy. The art
is in the ink. It's masterly.

Which do you like?
I'll give you one.

I'm not here to buy calligraphy,
Little Boss.

Please call me Boss,
not Little Boss.

I must have someone by my side.

What kind?

Fast enough, brutal enough, brave enough,

unblinking in perilous moments.

letting nothing befall me.

Deal.

From now, you're my Brother.

'Brother' is a cliche.

Two Brothers united in life...
for one fried egg.

He just left like that.

Chao Xiaoshu bore this so long.
Finally he showed his card

but he chose to leave.

What a pity. Pity.

The capital is missing one Chao
of Spring Wind Pavilion Chao,

but Cultivation has one more
Fate Seeker entrant.

Isn't this good?

Where will he go?

Now he entered Fate Seeking,

of course he'd find
a high level Cultivator

to expound it.

South Jin Sword Sage, Liu Bai?

Liu Bai?

Isn't that seeking death?

That imbecile.

'Chao Xiaoshu entered Fate Seeking;
he'll battle Sword Sage, Liu Bai'

'Let Liu Bai kill him'

What are you doing?

I just applied rose water.

Sang Sang. Your skin brightened
after coming to the capital.

Young Master, let go.

Your pinching swelled my face.

Oh right, we sold calligraphy

for 5 times more than
when we opened.

There'll be more customers.

If this keeps up,
we'll earn a living,

support you at Tang Academy,
and gain shop fame.

Yeah, Sang Sang. That's business.

Young Master, I remind you

Tang Academy test is in days.

If you didn't study,
you won't get in.

Where are the books
you bought days ago?

- You said the table is uneven.
They're under its legs. - Oh.

You sleep. I'll study.

Prince Long Qing. Back at last.

Bad news. Huangren tribe took
the map from Zi Mo on the way.

Luo Kedi blames you.

I got it.

You dare to return after leaving
the troops who then lost the map.

You can't stay in Xiling,
and must take my punishment.

What if the map isn't lost?

The map of Demon Sect Gate.

How'd you get it?

I remember everything I see,
since I was a child.

Demon Sect Gate is at
Da Ming Lake in the wild.

Your Highness deserves
the Son of Light title.

I admire that a lot.

Now the map is found,

I won't punish Zi Mo anymore.

Your Highness passed the test
of our Verdict Office.

Congratulations.

Go.

Imperial Father.

- Take a break.
- Yu'er is so thoughtful.

- What happened?
- I'm just thinking.

Hun Yuan has reached 20.

It's better to find
a teacher to educate him.

You're right. He causes trouble
that I've little time to address.

He knows his faults.

He self-reflects lately.

Previously I found him teachers,

but Hun Yuan always
drove them away.

Where do you think we can
find him a teacher?

Tang Academy entry test is soon.
What if Hun Yuan joins in.

Let Fu Zi and other scholars teach him.

The Academy. Tomorrow is the exam.

You and Hun Yuan go with me.

Yes.

Cui Delu died.

All plans for Fu Guo Rebellion
should pause.

You're commanding me.

Doubting me?
Or you think I've failed

so I have to hole up.

Just for mere Yulong Gang,

do we waste decades of effort
by Xiling and Yan States.

Fu Guo Rebellion isn't just Yan's.

It has our Xiling forces.

Xiling?

Xiling assigned you to Tang Empire
for over a decade.

I see you didn't achieve anything.

All day being around
your State Preceptor mentor,

I really have some doubts.

He Ming Chi, do you
remember your mission?

I'm different from you.

Tang Empire represents
my country's humiliation.

Your Highness isn't me.
That, I do know.

So how do you know I have
no issues with Tang?

I want Tang to collapse

so, I know I should bear this.

There will be a better opportunity.

Opportunity, Your Highness.
Understand?

If I say I can kill Tang Emperor...

is it an opportunity?

I advise you not to be
so impulsive.

I just got a message-

Tang Emperor will leave the Palace
to see Tang Academy entry exam.

He's lived in the Palace
so long, under protection.

Tomorrow is a great opportunity.

I must take action.

Tomorrow, the Emperor visits Tang
Academy, with scholars and Fu Zi.

Killing him there
is impossible.

Say no more, wherever it is.

I, Chong Ming, will
change the impossible

into the possible.

You'll regret it.

[Old Brush Shoppe]

Sang Sang, hurry, it's test day.
I can't be late.

Your hair should be perfect.

What's my hair to do
with the test?

Make sure examiners like you
when they see you.

I'm not a Red Sleeve Club lady.

Looking great. Smile.

- They'll like you.
- Go.

- Young Master, umbrella!
- You get it.

You need to behave well.

Try to get Father let you
enter Tang Academy.

I don't want to study there.

You don't want to?

Know what it means for you
to enter the Academy?

I mean,

if I go, I won't see you everyday.

I don't want to leave you.

If you get in,

I can visit you often.

If you enter Tang Academy,
the court will view you differently.

Don't you want to beat Little Six?

Of course.

Then behave.

Try to have Father agree
to your entry.

If Hun Yuan can enter Tang Academy,
it's good for him.

This kid mucks up everyday.

Tang Academy mightn't take him.

Don't be so hard on Third Prince.

He lost his mother early

and your severity makes him
fear closeness to you.

He's a boy.

Your Majesty shouldn't be too strict.

Your Majesty and Empress,

Sixth Prince's nanny reports

Six Prince suddenly fell ill.

Royal Doctor, what happened to him?

Your Majesty, Six Prince is weak.

He caught a cold yesterday.
I'm writing a prescription.

Send my message: the examiner
will be Prince Li Yu.

I obey.

Kill Tang Emperor, demolish Tang.

Yan State will be rebuilt.

Kill Tang Emperor, demolish Tang.

Yan State will be rebuilt.
