[Dynastia mieczy]

You are scared now?

You know the Nine-Death Silkworm?!

How does it feel betraying your master for glory and power?

She must have fought with someone for this chill to be penetrating her body.

[Episode 02]

You crossed the line last night.

If that happens again, I definitely won't hesitate to kill you.

You know that the difference between our cultivation levels is significant.

This was the only way I could save you.

Besides, judging by the situation last night,

your Nine-Phantom Sword Technique is more powerful than I thought.

You need to be even more patient in your cultivation.

Don't you think what you're saying is laughable?

How is it laughable?

If you didn't feel that some things were more important than life and death,

why did you seek me out in the first place?

And why rebel against the Heng king in secret?

That's not the same thing!

There's no difference.

To you, avenging your teacher is more important than life and death.

This, to me, is the same.

I just want to remind you again.

You are that person's disciple.

That alone is enough for me to kill you.

I'm not killing you because your existence will let me speed up my cultivation.

Do you hate him that much?

His responsibility for the destruction of the Gongsun Clan cannot be disputed.

Since that is the case, why did you come to Fengming City?

Did you think I came to Fengming City because of my past relationship with him?

I just feel that it is unfair. I just feel that

he accomplished so many things,

yet came to such an end.

I find it unfair.

So, I must kill the Heng king.

This flower is Song Shenshu?

Then, who is that other flower?

Marquis Dugu.

You were spying on me?

I guessed it.

Then, what about you? How did you kill an advanced stage, third realm cultivator like Song Shenshu?

There is no difference for those who have not reached the fourth realm.

Only he would dare use that kind of language.

If others had this mindset,

they would be killed.

Three people had died in Fengming yesterday.

The Bureau of Heavenly Supervision and Holy City Surveillance will find this place soon.

From now on, we must be careful.

Then, tomorrow, what are your plans?

Right now, we can't do anything except to wait.

Wait for my chess piece to come looking for me.

[Bureau of Heavenly Supervision]

- When did this happen? - Today, someone

found Marquis Dugu and his stableman dead in the outskirts of the forest. [Bai Gongfeng, Bureau of Heavenly Supervision]

- What about Zhao Zhan? - He has been buried in the forest outside the city.

Up until now, no one has gone to pay their respect.

No rush. Observe for another week.

All right.

The Stone Mill Sword Technique.

It's that man's unique swordsmanship.

Seems that the rumors about his disciple appearing in Fengming

were not baseless.

Those were deliberately spread rumors.

Before thoroughly investigating, don't make rash assumptions.

I understand.

Investigate the recent activities of Marquis Dugu.

Do you think that someone in the royal court was coveting the Marquis' position?

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Go investigate his past enemies.

How far back?

Ten years.

I'll take command.

[Holy City Surveillance]

Superintendent, we found Marquis Dugu.

But he has died in the woods on the outskirts of the city. According to my investigation,

his death was very unique. It could have been from...

the Stone Mill Sword Technique.

There are still three direct disciples of the Lie Kingdom's Sword Furnace remaining.

We have no idea how many Lie Kingdom remnants are out there.

Send more people to keep an eye on Zhao Zhan's grave.

If anyone comes to pay their respects, we can get rid of them in one strike.

Chief, there are no suspicious people residing near Zhao Zhan's place,

aside from the young man outside the oil shop. This is his dossier.

Chief Ye is that person's disciple. Could it be possible that Chief Ye is the cul—

Dismissed!

Yes.

I don't think this person is a member of Lie Kingdom's Sword Furnace.

Why do you say that?

This person's name is Ding Ning. He sells wine in Wutong Falls for a living.

Even though he has excellent qualities, he has a rare condition that's given him a body of Irreversible Fiery Yang.

What does Irreversible Fiery Yang mean?

A physiognomy that has too much Yang.

A person with this type of physiognomy possesses internal organs that have many times more chi than normal people.

Just as the flame of the heart burning too furiously,

the internal organs of this type of body begin to fail in their prime years.

So, he cannot possibly be a cultivator

and is even less likely to become an underling of Lie's Sword Furnace.

Chief, I am more worried about Murong Cheng's death.

Although Murong Cheng did not know us very well,

we are very clear about his family background.

Why would there be any problems?

Nothing's wrong with his family background,

but he had just agreed to a marriage arrangement with the House of Marquis Fang.

If there are no issues, this winter

he will probably be married and move into the House of Marquis Fang.

Since the people of the House of Marquis Fang are already involved in this matter,

it is meaningless even if we continue to worry about it.

Don't tell me you want to refine it right now.

Others might not be okay,

but my method of practice is different from them.

I think I'll be able to do it.

If you die, I won't bother burying you.

If I could die on Auntie's bed,

then I would die without any regrets.

Leave.

I just don't understand.

Is living a life as a normal person so bad?

Why must you force yourself to cultivate

and even want to get involved in this mess now?

Of course, because only through this way

can I stand in front of the Heng king.

Then it's best if you die far from me.

The time between the flare-up of your body's hyperactive "yang" is getting shorter.

If you force yourself to cultivate,

within one year, you will definitely die.

That person has already passed so many years ago.

Is it worth it to avenge him?

[Fourth Master Zhao, Lie Kingdom Sword Furnace, Seventh Realm: legendary true disciple of Sword Furnace who has attained the highest realm in cultivation]

[Memorial Tablet of Liang Jingmeng, the Lead Swordsman of the world]

[Memorial Tablet of Zhao Zhan, the seventh disciple of Sword Furnace]

Fourth Master Zhao, you came in the middle of the night to offer your prayers and respect.

You have indeed not forsaken your affection and loyalty to your brothers.

But this is Fengming City.

With your Sword Furnace just coming and going so openly,

are you not afraid to die?

My sect has always placed great importance on camaraderie.

Bureau Chief Ye, as someone who depended on the betrayal of your teacher and sect

to gain promotion into the ranks of nobility,

how would you even understand it?

Say, you didn't even inform me that you had come back.

This is all His Majesty's idea.

If I had a choice, I would rather not come back.

Now that you have come back to Fengming City,

you live your days with your sword having to taste blood every day.

You will encounter danger at every moment.

It is impossible for me to be with you at all times.

Compared to me, you are probably in greater danger.

All prisoners in the Great Floating Water Prison are the most dangerous traitors.

You had better take good care of yourself.

Your teacher has passed away for ten years.

His Majesty has summoned you back suddenly this time.

Do you not think that behind all these,

it is not as simple as it looks?

From what I know, both Lie's Sword Furnace and the Cloud Water Palace

know about the secret of Lone Mountain Sword Trove.

This time, His Majesty summoned you back to kill Zhao Zhan,

was to force the remaining members of Sword Furnace to show themselves,

so as to lure the Lone Mountain Sword Trove out.

How did you know about Lone Mountain Sword Trove?

Imprisoned in the Great Floating Water Prison

is a very important criminal.

In these last ten years, His Majesty had not stopped, not even for a single moment, interrogating him

about Long Mountain Sword Trove's whereabouts.

Who is he?!

That person is an old member of the Ba Mountain Sword Academy.

So, it is better if you do not know who he is.

Umbrellas for sale!

Miss, take a look at these.

Take a look at this. It is really well made.

Umbrellas for sale!

Have a look! Umbrellas for sale!

Wutong Tavern?

This is the place.

[Liling Jun, Prince of the Xian Kingdom: hostage prince used to exchange for six hundred miles of fertile lands of the Heng Kingdom]

Waiter!

Waiter, bring some wine here!

Help yourself to the wine.

A jug of wine costs twenty copper coins, and a dish of preserved peanuts in salt water will be five copper coins.

Waiter. Waiter!

The wine in your shop tastes really acerbic.

It tastes like rancid water from washing rice.

Furthermore, the distillery residue has not been totally filtered out from the wine.

Can this even be called wine?

It is a shame that your shop even has such a good reputation.

Don't tell me you came all the way here to this tavern really to taste its wine?

- Is that really so? - Exactly. - Are you stupid?

The wines of our tavern taste exactly like this.

Can this be called wine?

If it is not wine, then what is it?

This is what the wines of the Heng people taste like.

Drink it if you can. If you can't, then you are the one with the problem.

You are a citizen of the Xian Kingdom. Don't tell me you are even trying to misbehave yourself here in Fengming City?

A citizen of the Xian Kingdom? So what if I am a Xian citizen?

In the third year of Yuanwu, a war broke out between the kingdoms of Heng and Xian.

Two hundred thousand troops of the Heng Army were injured. Innumerable war chariots were damaged.

In the end, Liangshan Commander was even given to us.

Could it be that all of you have forgotten about this?

You!

Do not discuss state affairs in the tavern.

If you do not wish to drink your wine properly, then please leave.

Do not create any trouble here.

Truly, her beauty alone is comparable to that of an entire commandery.

Seems like the rumors are not fake.

- If I could convince this girl to pledge her allegiance to me, and then present her to Royal Father. - All right!

Shopkeeper, we are giving you the honor.

Everyone, sit down and continue to drink.

You have to compensate us for breaking the wine jar,

and you'll have to clear away all the broken shards on the floor before you leave.

Don't let them injure the legs of the Heng people.

- Quickly go. - Leave.

The pawn has taken the bait.

[Memorial Tablet of Zhao Zhan, Seventh Disciple of Sword Furnace]

Why did she take Zhao Zhan's memorial tablet away?

Earlier on, you sent someone to bring a verbal message to me,

saying that you have an important matter to discuss with me.

I wonder what this matter is? [First Miss of the Shang family: the entire Shang family clan was exterminated, with the remnants escaping to the Fish Market, waiting for an opportunity to rise in revolt]

My junior brother, Zhao Zhan, was killed by Ye Celeng.

I believe First Miss Shang already knows about this.

Seventh Master Zhao ranked among the very few illustrious heroes in the world.

It is truly lamentable that he has passed away.

The cultivators of the Heng Kingdom have been pursuing our people from the Sword Furnace very closely.

I'm not talking about just in Fengming City.

As long as we reside in any of the great cities of the Heng Kingdom, we will definitely be found out.

My junior brother obviously knew about this, but he did not fear for his life

and lived in seclusion in Fengming City for three years.

This is not because he wanted to assassinate a certain person by himself,

but rather, he was looking for an item left behind by that person.

You are referring to the legendary Lone Mountain Sword Trove?

How would you like me to help you?

First, if you discover that person's disciple,

you must find a way to inform my people in the Sword Furnace.

For the second matter, I would like to ask your help

to keep an eye on the movements of those people from Cloud Water Palace.

I have received information indicating that they might have other clues about Lone Mountain Sword Trove.

Bai Shanshui has also been sighted in Fengming City?

If I can gain possession of the Lone Mountain Sword Trove,

I am willing to share it with First Miss Shang.

From now on, we, the remnants of Sword Furnace, will do our utmost best to ensure your safety.

Reporting to Bureau Chief. A dead body has been found in the Fish Market.

Who is the deceased?

Song Shenshu of the Library of Classics and Historical Records.

- When did he die? - It appears that he died on the same day as Marquis Dugu.

Which realm of cultivation had Song Shenshu attained?

The advanced level of the Third Realm. He was about to break through the next realm.

Nine-Death Silkworm Divine Art...

Between the Fish Market and the forest where Marquis Dugu died,

what is in the middle?

Wutong Falls Tavern.

Send my command.

Thoroughly investigate anyone that was suspicious around Wutong Falls Tavern the day of Marquis Dugu's death.

Yes.

What have you found in the investigation?

Song Shenshu and Marquis Dugu both died under that person's fighting techniques.

You told me to investigate around Wutong Fall Tavern.

I'm still searching for anyone that was suspicious on that day.

Who else did she see after she returned?

No one.

Do you think this person is loyal?

I dare not judge casually.

Little...

Little Auntie, where are you?

Why don't I see you?

You knew I was taking a bath. How dare you come in?

If I don't come in, how would I know that you were taking a bath?

You... You are making excuses.

Why are you pretending that you didn't see, even though you saw it?

To be serious,

don't come out tomorrow.

Why?

If nothing unexpected happens, that Liling Jun will come again tomorrow.

Are you saying that the person who came to the shop today was Liling Jun?

Exactly.

What's it got to do with me?

I want to use him to fish out the person from the Two-Story Tower.

You are full of tricks.

You eat and sleep with me every day.

How could you not know

if I am full of tricks or not?

Auntie is committing domestic violence!

Go ahead and yell. See if anyone comes to your rescue.

Look at that carriage.

So many people today! It's the same old rule. Get your own wine and water.

- Come let's go in. - Go.

I am Lu Siche. My young master wishes to meet with Miss Zhangsun.

Since it's your young master who wants to meet her,

then why doesn't he come down from his carriage?

- My young master— - You are right, Sir.

Since I am already here, I really shouldn't have waited inside the carriage.

I should personally visit Miss Zhangsun.

I was too proud of my status.

I've seen you before.

You are that gentleman who broke our wine jar yesterday.

Why? You didn't drink enough wine?

You should know the rules today, right?

The youths at Fengming City are really admirable.

If you want to drink wine, you must follow the rules.

If you want to meet my Little Aunt,

all the wines here must be sold out.

I especially came here for the purpose of proposing marriage to Miss Zhangsun.

Thank you for your kind intention.

However, it's impossible.

With such a quick and decisive refusal, there ought to be a reason.

I think... you should discuss it with Miss Zhangsun.

I don't think it's necessary.

As for the reason, do you really want me to say it?

Please give it a try.

Your father, the king of Xian Kingdom,

has been at the throne for 32 years.

During the 32 years,

he has an innumerable number of beauties in the inner palace.

Among those beautifies, his most favorite

is probably Consort Zhao Xiang who came from the former Lie Kingdom.

However, between him and Consort Zhao Xiang,

there hasn't been any child born.

When you return to your father's side,

bringing along a woman of stunning beauty in passing,

then it's conceivable that your father

won't dislike you as he did before.

- Why do you say so? - Consort Zhao Xiang has no children.

If your father designates someone else as the crown prince,

she will eventually lose power.

Therefore, the motive you have in marrying my Little Aunt off

is actually using her to appease your royal father

in exchange for the opportunity to inherit Xian's throne.

If everything happens as you said, or...

I really became Xian's king,

shouldn't you take my request more seriously?

Let my Little Aunt become one of your father's royal concubines?

Using one person to get a whole kingdom, isn't it a rare strategy?

Isn't it better than marrying a merchant here?

Look, I'm already this way.

My Little Aunt has an even higher regard for herself.

If it's something I look down at, she wouldn't consider it at all.

In this case, I bid you farewell.

How could my performance

not be outstanding enough?

[Wang Taixu, leader of Two-Story Tower, a disciple of White Goat Cave]

Liang Jingmeng, if you are alive,

when you see Ding Ning, wouldn't it be like seeing yourself?

Is there any progress on the deaths of Marquis Dugu and Song Shenshu?

They both died under that person's sword techniques.

Did the same person kill them?

I believe there are two killers.

Why do you think so?

The two killers are cultivated in two different realms.

You used to be a member of Ba Mountain Sword Academy.

Who do you think the killers are?

I do not know.

If it's really that person's disciple, why did these two men die?

I know that our dynasty has kept the tradition of designating eleven marquis positions.

Since Marquis Dugu has died,

someone will take over his position. I wonder,

perhaps the killer has been coveting the Marquis's position for a long time?

If His Majesty permits, I would like to follow this clue.

You are really thorough in thoughts.

So, if the killer has coveted the Marquis's position, and he is also that person's disciple,

then when we catch the killer,

you will surely kill your own fellow disciple. Right?

Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, why bother summoning me back?

It's His Majesty who wanted to summon you.

His Majesty... is probably testing your loyalty.

I will prove it with substantive action.

Chief, I've found out that on the day of Marquis Dugu's death,

the tavern wasn't open.

Who is inside the tavern?

The tavern's proprietress is Zhangsun Qianxue.

Her nephew is the youngster that we investigated that day. His name is Ding Ning.

Ding Ning.

Ding Ning?

No cultivation.

Sir, what is the meaning of this? Have I made a mistake?

I'm investigating a case and accidentally mistook you for someone else.

Sorry.

Since it's a misunderstanding, then it's fine.

A few days ago, when it was pouring rain, why was the tavern closed?

On that raining day, I saw that there were no customers, so I closed the tavern.

The oil shop across the street was not open either.

Is there a problem?

This is a log to record the wine brewing recipes.

This is rose, that's osmanthus...

Are you nervous?
