A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

EPISODE 18

Your raids have been successful time and time again

Instead of hiding yourselves,

why have you sent us a challenge for a duel here?

Everyone in the martial arts world knows

that Zhao Quanhai and Li Feng were both poisoned.

They didn't die,

but Sanxiang's and Lianghe's reputations have been significantly damaged.

What does that have to do with us?

With their reputations damaged,

ZHENJIANG PIER

Shuangshi would become Jiangnan's biggest armed escort company.

-Hasn't Duan Hefei's profitable deal -Shuangshi?

ended up in your hands?

So what if it has?

It is Shuangshi's good fortune.

How does it concern you?

Since we are called the Righteous Duo,

we take it upon ourselves to set right all unrighteousness.

The odd coincidence of two chief escorts being poisoned in unison

must have been Shuangshi's doing.

Do not try to smear us with ridiculous accusations!

You often use your might to tyrannize and oppress others.

Who else could have done such a despicable act?

The Righteous Duo will not allow evil to prevail!

Father, don't waste your breath on them!

That woman's voice sounds so familiar too.

The Righteous Duo are using Meihua Clan's martial arts techniques.

Jiang Yulang?

Mr. Jiang, you came at the perfect time!

Let's send the Righteous Duo to hell!

I understand now.

Jiang Yulang ganged up with Shuangshi Armed Escort.

Sanxiang and Lianghe sustained great losses.

Then, Shuangshi Escort Company would capitalize on it.

Jiang Yulang could also gain some benefits from that.

Father!

It has been a while.

Jiang Yulang's martial arts has improved so much.

He must have been practicing the Ultimate Five Skills.

Father!

-Father. -Lady, do you cover your face

because you're too pretty or too ugly?

-That's none of your business! -Since you refuse to tell me,

I'll have to see for myself.

It's you?

What's wrong?

Do you know her?

She is an entertainer.

Bai Lingxiao died

because of her.

How interesting.

The disciples of Meihua Clan performing on the streets.

That's good.

Let's settle all the scores together.

Let me ask you.

The one who killed Bai Lingxiao was Jiang Xiaoyu, right?

Where is he now?

Do you want to look for him?

Dream on!

"Dream on"?

A person like you doesn't deserve to even carry shoes for him!

You look quite pretty.

I was thinking of sparing your life,

but you just dug your own grave!

Jiang Yulang.

My Heavenly Pivot Point is so painful!

Who are you? Why are you acting like a ghost?

Give me back my life!

Jiang Yulang.

I hold no grudge against you,

but you killed me

in the kitchen of Sihai Chun Restaurant.

Have you forgotten about me?

You are...

My Heavenly Pivot Point is so painful!

I couldn't even hold the bowl of Meng Po Soup

when I was in the netherworld.

Jiang Yulang.

Give me your life.

Give me your life!

I've only fought with the living.

I guess I'll have to exchange blows with the dead today.

Jiang Yulang.

Give me your life!

Give me your life!

Jiang Yulang.

Xiaodai.

Xiaodai, is that you?

I recognize your voice. It must be you!

I'm not Xiaodai.

I'm a ghost.

Xiaodai!

-Hongzhu! -Xiaodai, don't go!

Xiaodai!

Xiaodai!

Look!

There's a person!

Is he alive?

Hurry up! Be it alive or not, get him out of the water first!

Have some ginger soup to warm up your body.

-Don't catch a cold. -Thank you.

Slow down.

This is interesting. Let me take a look.

So it was you.

What happened? Why did you jump into the river to commit suicide?

Who committed suicide?

Stop lying.

Our young lady is your savior.

You better watch your words.

"Young lady"?

Are you a woman?

What did you say?

Are you blind?

Ms. Duan is Mr. Duan's beloved daughter.

"Mr. Duan"?

Mr. Duan owns businesses all over the country.

He is respected by both officials and people of the martial arts world.

It can't be that you've never heard of him.

Is your father Duan Hefei?

Of course.

Do you need a worker?

Why should I hire you?

Don't you need someone to take care of your herbs?

How did you know the goods we're shipping are herbs?

Not only do I know that the goods here are herbs,

I can even tell what herbs they are.

These are ginseng,

Gastrodia elata, musk, deer antler glue,

Hedyotis diffusa.

Not bad.

You're quite an expert.

Quan, get him some clean clothes.

-See me at Qingyu Hall after we disembark. -All right.

QINGYU HALL

Here.

Here.

All right.

-Hurry up. -Be careful.

-This way, please. -All right.

Ms. San, he is here.

Ms. San.

Your place is quite huge.

Of course!

Of all the herbal stores in this area,

Qingyu Hall is the biggest.

Hey, I still don't know your name.

Just call me Yu Dan.

"Yu Dan"?

The name is as cute as the owner.

Come over here, everyone.

-Stop your work! Come here! -All right.

-Coming. -Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Let me introduce someone to you.

This is Mr. Yu Dan.

He will be the supervisor of our herbal store from now on.

How can he? He has just joined us!

-Are you unhappy about that? -Yes.

He knows more than any of you!

All of you have to learn from him.

Do you hear me?

-Yes. -Yes.

Mr. Yu Dan, my name is Quan.

You can ask me if you have any questions.

You can ask me anytime as well.

All right.

SHUANGSHI ARMED ESCORT COMPANY

Chief Escort, everything is ready.

This escort is extremely important.

Make sure you stay alert and are extra cautious along the journey!

-Yes! -Yes!

Set out!

SHUANGSHI ARMED ESCORT COMPANY

Fellow warriors.

Shuangshi Escort Company is here. Please let us through.

If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us.

We are the Three Ruffians of Lake Tai.

We only give way to the dead!

With just the three of you?

Buddies, attack!

Son, take down their leader first!

What?

The cargo of silver was robbed?

You...

I apologize for my incapability.

Please forgive us.

Why would that happen?

A few days ago,

both you and your son gave me your assurances.

In order to ensure your cargo of silver being delivered safe and sound,

Shuangshi paid a huge amount of money

to hire over ten martial arts experts to come along with us.

We didn't expect

that those bandits would still get their way.

Do you know who those bandits are?

-It was the Three Ruffians of Lake Tai. -What?

"The Three Ruffians of Lake Tai"?

This...

ARMED ESCORT COMPANY

Sir, the plan went so smoothly.

Thank you for letting us handle such a good deal.

QINGYU HALL

-Not bad. -Yes.

Watch out, everyone.

-What's wrong? -Ms. San is not in a good mood today.

Don't provoke her.

-Don't anger her. -Hey!

-She's here. -What are you all doing?

Why are you all standing here?

-Why aren't you working? -Move it here.

-Here. -Idiots!

All of you are idiots!

Who has gotten on your nerves?

The father and son of Shuangshi Armed Escort Company.

Did something happen to the cargo of silver?

How did you know about the cargo of silver?

I have a friend who works in Shuangshi Armed Escort Company.

-He told me about it. -What is Shuangshi good for?

They are good for nothing!

The cargo was escorted by so many people,

and yet they got robbed right after they left the city!

Since Shuangshi accepted the task. Why would they get robbed?

Why do you think that Shuangshi won't be robbed?

Who robbed the cargo of silver?

I heard it was the Three Ruffians of Lake Tai.

Since Shuangshi lost the silver,

they should compensate you.

They must pay no matter what.

That's right!

Jiang Yulang ganged up with Shuangshi Armed Escort Company

to get this deal after so many difficulties.

How could they slip up after that?

Did they run into a martial arts expert?

That's impossible.

Three Ruffians of Lake Tai?

It's more like Three Fools of Lake Tai.

It's impossible that Jiang Yulang was no match for them.

Then there's only one possibility left.

Jiang Yulang stole the silver himself.

That's not right.

They lost the silver. Duan Hefei wouldn't let it slide.

By right, they have to pay back the full amount.

It's impossible Jiang Yulang did something that cost him instead.

Ms. San, has the silver been found?

Silver.

You only care about the silver.

Why don't you care if I've eaten well,

slept well, or been in a good mood?

Of course I care about you.

Then ask about my well-being.

Has the silver been found?

What I mean is that if the silver has been found,

you'll surely eat well, play well, sleep well, and live a happy life, right?

I do care about you, don't I?

Young lady, Mr. Duan wants you to go home immediately.

I heard that the silver has been found.

-Has it been found? -Who found it?

The person who came...

He is about the same age as Mr. Yu.

He looks quite fair.

Could it be Jiang Yulang?

For decades,

Jiangnan has remained peaceful not because of the government,

but because of Hero of Jiangnan.

It looks like in the future,

we'll be relying on your son to continue your legacy.

I, Duan Hefei, must applaud both of you.

It's indeed like father, like son.

As he has found the silver,

Mr. Jiang has gained quite a reputation.

Father!

Has the silver been found?

-Greetings, Mr. Jiang. -Yes, it has been found.

It's all thanks to Mr. Jiang.

It's not a big deal.

Mr. Duan, Ms. Duan San.

I have sent the silver back to Shuangshi Armed Escort Company

for them to check.

These are the heads of the Three Ruffians of Lake Tai.

This is truly something worth celebrating.

Mr. Jiang has just returned to Jiangnan and he has already done a deed of merit

by bringing back the silver and getting rid of the bandits.

The Three Ruffians of Lake Tai were a menace.

I had a duty to rid them for the martial arts world.

Well said.

Jiang Yulang, you could even say that.

You're so thick-skinned.

You're just fooling around with this fatty, aren't you?

Mr. Jiang.

I heard those bandits always wandered from one place to another.

How did you find them?

I have many friends in Jiangnan.

It wasn't very hard to track down those bandits.

Come on.

Here.

You risked your life to eliminate the bandits.

I'm so grateful to you.

This is a token of appreciation from me.

I can't take this.

Mr. Jiang, this is just a token of appreciation.

Please accept it.

I got rid of the menace for the martial arts world.

I didn't seek a reward for it.

Mr. Duan, Ms. Duan San.

I really appreciate your kindness.

Well said!

Mr. Jiang.

You've taught your son very well.

Jiang Yulang, you didn't do it for money,

then it must be for the reputation.

This incident has the whole city talking.

You took down the bandits swiftly and smoothly.

From now on,

everyone in the martial arts world will treat you with deep respect.

Hey, Yu Dan.

You were hiding in the back to see if there's something fishy.

What did you see?

You won't believe me even if I tell you.

Just tell me anyway.

I suspect Jiang Yulang

stole the silver and cheated everyone.

How is that possible?

I already said you wouldn't believe it.

Why would you say that then?

It's because my ears can hear someone's inner voice.

I can hear all his evil intentions clearly.

Do you actually have this skill?

If that's the case,

can you hear my inner voice?

Let me try.

Can you hear it?

You're so annoying.

Don't laugh.

Your inner voice is so soft.

I can't hear it clearly.

Is it because you're too far away?

Are you all right?

I pushed too hard.

As the saying goes, "One's inner voice lives deep behind one's belly."

But your belly...

What about my belly?

It's too thick.

"It's too thick"?

Yu Dan!

Stop right there!

Sir, Ms. Tie is so stubborn.

We've bid her farewell a few times, but she still follows us.

What should we do?

Take care.

Ms. Tie.

-You... -This biscuit smells good.

Eat it while it's still hot.

Mr. Yu.

Mr. Yu.

It looks not bad.

-Good day, Ms. San. -Good day, Ms. San.

Hey, Yu Dan.

-Hey, Yu Dan. -Come and have a look.

-What is this? -Good timing. Do you want to try it?

Sure.

-How do I use it? -Step on it, I'll teach you.

Hold the handle and push off the ground with your leg like this.

-Push off the ground. -It looks fun.

Harder. Push off the ground.

It's pretty fun.

Yu Dan, help!

-Yu Dan, help! -Coming!

Faster!

-Is it fun? -Go faster!

That looks interesting.

-Ms. San. -Ms. San.

Why are you so heavy?

-This is quite interesting. -Yes.

-Yes. -Right.

What are you looking at?

-Get back to work! -Yes.

Jiang Yulang.

What are you trying to do?

And your father, Jiang Biehe.

If he really is an upright and noble hero,

why doesn't he educate you properly?

He is supporting your evildoing instead.

Yu Dan.

Yu Dan.

Do I look beautiful?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

I think I'm not fine instead.

Do you like it?

It's acceptable.

You finally dress like a lady.

You look so much better than before.

So you like it.

It's not bad.

It doesn't hurt one's eyes.

Let's go.

Let's go to the market to buy some fabrics to make more clothes.

I have many things to do.

I'll give you the day off.

You have the day off.

What's wrong?

I have a stomachache!

Yu Dan!

I'll wait for you!

-Mr. Yu Dan. -Mr. Yu Dan.

-Wake up! -Hurry up!

-Sir! -What's wrong?

I have good news for you.

Mr. Duan wants to see you!

-Hurry up! -Go get changed.

-Get changed, quick. -Why is he looking for me?

-Hurry! -Hurry up!

-You'll know when you're there. -What's going on?

-He doesn't usually summon a worker, -Why does he want to see me?

but he requested to see you today.

You're in good luck!

DUAN MANOR

-This way, Mr. Yu. -Please, Mr. Yu.

My precious.

My precious.

Open your mouth.

Come on, my precious.

My precious.

Is your father a cricket? You're playing with me now.

-You bought another cricket. -I had to.

This red-headed bush cricket is too fun.

Open your mouth.

-Stop messing around! -It's fun.

Go away!

Go away!

-Please, Mr. Yu. -Please, Mr. Yu.

Go away!

Open your mouth.

Open your mouth.

-Open your mouth. -What are you doing?

-It's my father. -Open your mouth.

Father.

Father!

Mr. Duan.

Is he the one you've been talking about?

Come here.

This young man looks

extraordinary.

Of course.

Serve the food. Let's eat!

-Yes. -Yes.

-Here you go. -Try this.

-Here. -Eat up.

I can do it myself.

-Thank you. -Eat up.

Are your parents still alive?

What do they do for a living?

My parents passed away when I was very young.

"Passed away"?

That's quite good.

What?

Have a look.

Guess how much this emerald green urn costs.

If you are referring to this urn,

I think it's worth a lot of money.

If you are referring to the cricket inside the urn,

it's priceless.

This red-headed bush cricket

could be a grim reaper.

You even know about this.

Other than delivering babies,

there isn't much in the world that I don't know.

My daughter, you have good taste.

Not only is this young man handsome,

he is also very smart.

I'll be at ease to let him inherit the family business!

"Inherit the family business"?

What's wrong?

You're a smart person, don't you understand what does that mean?

What's wrong?

It's a great blessing for you

that my daughter has an eye on you.

-But-- -But what?

Are you looking down on my daughter?

I...

How would I look down on her?

It's just that she's so strong and I am...

I am too skinny, I can't handle her.

Are you worried about that?

It's not a problem.

From today onward, you should eat more.

You should eat less.

-Put down the chopsticks now. -All right.

-You're not allowed to eat anymore. -All right.

I'll stop eating.

I'll stop eating.

YANGZI JIANG RESTAURANT

On my trip to Jiangnan this time,

I have heard of your son's achievements

before I even managed to pay you a visit.

Heroes are indeed cultivated since young.

You flatter my son.

Like father, like son.

You have your successor now.

Here.

-Let me toast to you. -Thank you.

Why are you sighing?

Lately,

many things have happened in the martial arts world.

In Jiangnan alone,

many incidents took place because of Duan Hefei's cargo.

A few days ago,

the chief escorts of Lianghe and Sanxiang Armed Escort Company

were poisoned at the same time.

Have you heard about it?

Yes, I have.

There are rumors circulating in the martial arts world.

Many people think

that Zhao Quanhai and Li Feng poisoned each other over a fight for business.

How ridiculous.

Do you mean there's something else behind it?

I shared the same food with them that day,

but I was not poisoned.

I think something suspicious is going on.

Are you worried that someone may suspect you?

I have always been frank and forthright.

I don't worry about suspicion.

It's just that something so strange had just happened before my eyes.

Even if I don't plan to clear my name,

I must find out the truth.

What clue do you have at the moment?

The only clue I have is

that Snow Body Essence.

It's a poison that can't be found in Central Plain.

Mr. Jiang, you're an expert in medicine.

Can you please help me to find out where this poison originated from?

I wonder who brought such a peculiar poison into Jiangnan.

I think if we follow the trail,

we'll definitely find the culprit.

Mr. Tie, don't worry.

I'll do my utmost to help.

Cheers.

Thank you for your help.

Cheers.

-Father. -Yulang.

Where is Tie Wushuang staying?

Father, it's at Diling Hall on the outskirts of town.

The owner, Zhao Xiangling, is his good friend.

Mr. Tie also said he won't leave Jiangnan until he finds the culprit.

He always thinks of himself as the leader of the martial arts world.

He thinks too highly of himself.

He is just a useless old man compared to you.

By the way,

I bumped into Hua Wuque on my way home.

He looked very suspicious.

The daughter of Tie Zhan, the Mad Lion kept following him around.

Ever since I met Hua Wuque,

I can't sleep well at night.

They look so alike.

It's as if he came back to life from hell.

We must think of a way to get rid of Hua Wuque and Tie Wushuang

all at once.

ESCORT

Father.

We've double checked the silver.

The horses and carts are ready as well.

Once the weather clears up tomorrow,

we'll depart immediately.

All right.

ESCORT

SHUANGSHI ARMED ESCORT COMPANY

-It's terrible. -Yes.

-They are all dead. -How horrible.

-Yes. -Look, they are all...

Who did this?

-They are all dead. -So many of them?

It's so horrible.

-Who did this? -Step aside!

-Please step aside! -Make way!

-Please make way! -Make way!

Make way!

What...

What happened?

What happened to them?

They are all dead.

All of them are dead.

What about my silver?

It's gone.

It's all gone.

How did this happen?

Who is trying to make my life miserable?

MINGXIANG RESTAURANT

I wonder where the killer came from.

He has broken the peace in Jiangnan.

My heart aches just looking at it.

I heard about the tragedy too.

It was extremely brutal.

I heard that you were passing by.

That's why I'm here to invite you to join in our search for the culprit.

What do you think?

I'll comply with your wish.

I'll do my best.

Are you all right?

Did the silver get robbed again?

Look at you, you react more than I do when it comes to the silver.

It wasn't just a robbery this time.

Everyone in Shuangshi Armed Escort Company was massacred.

All the armed escorts and the other workers were killed.

A total of 39 of them died.

None of them survived.

The only survivor was a stableman.

What about Jiang Yulang?

What does he have to do with this?

He is not a member of the company.

He is out of the picture after he found the silver.

Do you have any idea on who did that?

No.

Thirty-nine people were killed all at once.

Is there anyone who is so capable and merciless in the martial arts world?

You mentioned the stableman who survived.

We might find some clues from him.

That's right.

I was feeding the horses in the backyard.

I heard some tinkling sound.

Then I heard some people

shouting loudly.

The shout was indeed terrifying.

I mustered up the courage to take a look.

I saw them running to the backyard

and someone holding a sword was chasing after them.

What did that person look like?

It was raining heavily.

I couldn't get a clear look at his face.

However, he looked like an old man.

He had white hair, a white beard,

and a muscular body.

The old man was merciless

when he killed people.

It was as if he was some demon

that rose up from hell.

Is that so?

Where were you at that moment?

I have never witnessed such a scene.

I was scared and hiding behind a cart.

Didn't he notice you?

He walked past me.

Thankfully, he didn't notice me.

He walked straight into the storeroom that stored the silver.

Is there anything else?

I can't recall other things.

You may leave now.

Inform us at any time if you recall anything else.

Thank you.

Sirs.

Please avenge Shuangshi Armed Escort Company!

Get up.

Get up.

Rest assured, we'll do our best.

Thank you, sirs.

You may leave now.

Thank you!

Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Hua.

This is a serious matter.

It involves a huge amount of silver.

Please help me find the culprit

and the silver.

I'll reward both of you well.

I'm just doing what I should do.

I don't ask for a reward in return.

Thank you for your help.

If you do not mind,

you can stay at my residence at the moment.

I...

All right. Thank you, Mr. Duan.

Are you Mr. Hua's friend?

Yes.

Servers.

Prepare rooms that are quiet for our esteemed guests.

-Yes. -Yes.

ESCORT

Sir.

All the bodies were around the same place.

The killer must be very fast in wielding his sword.

He killed them almost at the same moment.

Does such a skilled martial artist really exist?

If such a person really exists,

he should be well-known by now.
