Episode 28
FolksListen to what i have to say
QingYi
QingYi, What's wrong with you?
What's with me?
I do not indeed to disrupt you, from being a big hero
What is the problem?
Where did i offended you?
You really want to know?
That's of courseYou are mine QingYi
I am your QingYi
Then why do i feel like being treated as an outsider?
Hoe could i treat you as an outsider?
Then let me ask you, yesterday afternoon. Why did you rush to send me back to the magistrate office on my own?
I
Now then i realised that yesterday you spotted the bandits
Hence you hurrily send me back to avoid hindering you
And you dare to boast shamelessly that you consider me one of your people.
I'm afraid of bringing danger to you
Alright then stay away from me from now onwards
to avoid dragging me into your problems
QingYi
Let me apologise for yesterday
But honestly, for ZhenDing country
You are but a passerby, there is no need to take this risk
Zi Long, can it be that the lifetime promises we made to each other,
Are those empty words?
Don't tell me that to you, I am a woman that can only share your wealth but not your woes?
From what you just said
I really felt very dishearten
This can only explain that we do not understand each other
Today. let me tell you this solemnly
I, XiaHou QingYi am not a passerby of ZhenDing Country
Because my sweetheart is a person from ZhenDing, Hence i am a ZhenDing person as well
QingYi
Precisely because i am a ZhenDing person
To resist the invading enemy and protect my home, I, Xiahou Qing Yi, have a responsibility.
So my responsibility and loyalty to my home, you have no right to take that away from me.
QingYi, you have changed me
You have made me braver, and I better understand how to pursue my dreams.
Then tell me
Right now this moment what do you want in your heart?
Wherever Zilong goes, QingYi follows
This answer is one that you gave me
Right, I can only say, you have conquer me once more
Your previous mistakes, I have no choice but to forgive you
Whats wrong?
Teacher
Whay are you guys doing here?
We heard that you are recruitiing to defeat bandits
Can we join you?
Thats right, I wanna join
Stop playing a fool, hurry and go back home
Qing Yi!
Teacher, wait for us!
Father, it's good to come home again
after going out for a while.
Father, you've walked for a long time, you are probably tired as well.
Go in and rest.
Okay, give this to me.
We haven't been gone for many days, but so many leaves have fallen onto the ground at home.
Master!
Is it him? Is it them?
Zi Long, Qing Yi it is really you.
That's right, it's really us.
We just came to try our luck. Little did we expect, you and Master are back too.
Goodness, it's wonderful that you're both back.
It's like a dream, isn't it?
No, it's real
You two have come back in one piece,
and come back safely.
Father, they are back!
Zi Long! -Master.
Master, Zi Long has been unfilial to cause you worry.
You finally came back. What exactly happened?
It's a long story. Later I'll share a drink with Master and
tell you everything one by one.
Yes, to celebrate our 'rebirth', we should drink a few cups.
Then I'll go and buy wine.
Then I'm going to accompany Fei Yan letting Uncle Li and Zi Long meet alone.
We sisters can also speak privately.
Let's go.
Yes, let's go.
Come.
I didn't imagine that there would be a passage in that valley
that linked to the outside world.
Yes, when we were both brought to the bottom of the lake by the white horse,
we were also shocked.
That's right, wait for me for a while.I'll make a quick trip to the county office.
Why are you going to the county office?
There's good quality wine there, I'm going there to get it.
Alright, then I'll wait for you at East Street.
In the deepest part of the lake, there is a passage that is linked to the Shining Moon Lake on the outside.
Master, don't you think this is a human construction that is so wonderful it surpasses nature?
It is really too wonderful to describe.
Zi Long, many amazing encounters that are difficult to imagine
will be yours to encounter in the future.
Fei Yan, I brought the wine back!
Just now you said the water of the lake was very deep,
I didn't think that your water skills were so good.
Not at all. Actually, one we reached the bottom of the lake, I couldn't hold my breath any longer.
Then what did you do?
Luckily, Zi Long is very skillful in the water,
and at the crucial moment he transferred air to me.
So you two...
Sorry, I've asked too much.
Let's go then.
The last time, when I returned from my Master's old home, you were already imprisoned on Tiger Tooth Mountain.
We didn't have time for a deep conversation.
That book, Yue Yi's Hundred Battle Strategies Part 2, was not found,
but I did discover another important thing,
so I brought it back with me.
What is it?
There's no rush.
I will first tell you about this from the very beginning.
My Master's name is Yue Yuan.
Us people from Changshan and Lingshou counties
are the 15th generation descendants of the famous general Yue Yi.
His martial arts abilities were excellent, but his personality was eccentric.
His only official disciples were myself and your father.
Eventually, we both took up posts in the Imperial Army.
In Luoyang, we heard that Master had taken a young disciple.
Not long after that, Master and that book, Yue Yi's Hundred Battle Strategies Part 2, disappeared from the mortal realm.
At the same time, the young disciple also disappeared.
Are you saying that this young disciple and your master both met some misfortune?
At the time, both your father and I thought so too,
but twenty-five years later, I discovered that he didn't die at all.
At the time, he only changed his name.
So if we look at it, this young disciple is very suspicious.
Did you ever find him?
When I heard the news, I went to find him,
but he denied that he was that young disciple.
He said that he had never been to Changshan county,
and in a moment of anger, I fought with him.
I didn't imagine that his martial arts skills greatly surpassed my own.
Furthermore, he fought viciously, and I almost didn't manage to escape.
This is enough to prove that his heart is crafty,
and the suspicion on him is very great.
Not only that,
at the place my Master disappeared, I carefully investigated for two days.
The place was full of whirlpools of quicksand.
Perhaps at the time, my Master fell into the quicksand, we cannot know for certain.
What's even more surprising is that I picked up a tattered mask there.
A mask?
Qing Yi, from what I've seen today,
when you and Zi Long came to my house, you seem even closer than before.
As you saw, Zi Long and I were trapped in the Valley of Death and had to rely on each other to survive.
Zi Long was very attentive in caring for me,
so naturally he has become the most important man to me.
So your meaning is...
What I mean is, surely you and Zi Long haven't already...
Perhaps this topic is sensitive, you don't have to reply.
Fei Yan, what are you saying? Don't think too much!
I'm sorry,
let's go home then.
Fei Yan,
you're my good sister, there's nothing to hide.
Actually, Zi Long and I
privately promised our lifetimes to each other in the valley.
Let's not speak anymore, let hurry and get home!
Just as I expected, Brother Zhao and Miss Qing Yi have ended up together.
This also means that whoever killed your Grandmaster and forced your father to his death
can almost certainly be confirmed to be the same person.
And the most suspicious is the young disciple your Grandmaster took in that year.
When he conspired to murder your Grandmaster, he wore this mask,
perhaps because to kill a loving teacher would still cause some unease.
When forcing a brother disciple to his death, he wore this mask again,
again because he still has a sliver of conscience within him.
Who is he? What is his name?
Father, Zi Long, today you'll get to eat well.
For our meal, I bought Changshan premium donkey meat,
and for wine, Qing Yi brought it back from the county office.
Wine from the county office?
What good wine did you get from the county office?
This wine is a special brew that our Xiahou family steward Geng Chun brought along.
Xiahou family...
Qing Yi, I've never asked of your family background,
but I can't hold back now.
Your Xiahou family...
Your esteemed father, can he possibly be Changshan senior official Xiahou Jie?
Yes, that's my father.
This...
You're very surprised, aren't you?
When I heard Miss Qing Yi that, I was also surprised.
I never imagined that her father would be the senior official of Changshan county.
Zi Long, why didn't you tell me earlier?
I...
Don't blame Zi Long, I asked him not to say anything.
I was afraid that if revealed too early, you would act differently according to my status.
But as of today, I've gone through hardships with Zi Long in the valley,
and you are so close to Zi Long, I can no longer hide it.
Uncle Li, you two continue talking for a while,
I will go and cut the donkey meat for you.
I'll come and help.
Master, so who on earth is that young disciple?
He is...
He concerns some other people,
and after all, we are only guessing right now.
We have no real proof.
If I speak his name, it would be inappropriate.
Master, why would it be inappropriate?
Who does it concern?
Let's put it this way, Zi Long. Let's go to the hill behind to speak.
I want to ask you carefully about something.
Come with me.
Father, where are you going? The meat is ready.
Just a moment, I still have business with Zi Long.
How about this, Fei Yan, help me inform Brother Zhou,
and invite him here to drink wine.
Why is my father acting so strangely today?
Usually, once there's good wine within reach, even if the sky falls, he'll only leave after he's finished it.
I think Uncle Li must be too happy to see Zi Long return safely.
He surely has a lot to say to him.
You'll have to wait for a while then, I'll go and call Brother Zhou.
Zi Long.
What is it, Master?
You and that...
My meaning is,
when the two of you were trapped together, surely...
I'm sure you didn't exceed the boundaries of regular friendship?
What is between Qing Yi and I cannot be summarised easily in a few sentences.
Now, the time is right for war and nothing is certain,
but I hope Master can be reassured and look forward the next step of our relationship.
Zi Long will definitely report the situation as it is.
Heaven really likes to make fun of people.
How can they let you and the Young Miss of the Xiahou familly be together?
Zi Long, do you know,
Xiahou Qing Yi might be the worst girl for you to befriend.
Master, why would you say something like that?
Zi Long, if you recognise me as your Master, then remember this,
you and Xiahou Qing Yi must not develop a romantic relationship.
Master,
I really don't understand why Qing Yi and I can't be together.
Don't ask anymore!
Master will offer you a piece of advice:
you absolutely must maintain your distance from Xiahou Qing Yi.
Haven't you thought that
you and Xiahou Qing Yi have such a difference in status,
like heaven and earth.
Surely you can't think that the two of you are particularly compatible?
What Master says is true.
When compared with the Xiahou family's status and wealth,
my status is low and insignificant.
That's right, Master, regarding Grandmaster's young disciple, why did you suddenly stop talking about it?
I suddenly feel that it's inappropriate.
Anyway, there's no real proof.
To arrogantly assign guilt to someone is truly unfair.
- Master.- Do not speak of it anymore.
Wait till I have gathered proof, then we will speak further.
Heaven really likes to make fun of people.
Zi Long and Qing Yi's relationship is so close now,
even if I say Xiahou Jie is the one who forced his parents to their deaths,
Zi Long might not believe me.
Besides, the two of them cannot just stop their relationship spontaneously.
If I cannot produce proof, it will be useless.
In their eyes, I will become a despicable villain.
It's really not convenient for me to say it now, I'll have to think of another plan.
How dare he, what does Zi Long think he is?
The county's military guard, allowed him to meddle.
He's organised courageous villages only to revolt.
I know you've always been prejudiced towards Zi Long.
But things have an order of priority.
Mountain thieves Ci Fan action's are determined to win. There are too few government solders.
If there's no other forces to support us in stabilizing the county, I'm afraid this time it'll fall into enemies hands.
It'll become that thief's Du Jue's territory.
Think about it,
if it's like that then what should we do, what is most important?
The most pressing matter at present, is it to continuing being prejudice against Zi Long?
Or we all work as one to protect and stabilize the county.
Dignified government troops, go so far as relying on brave villages as civil troops.
Even if we win the fight, once the word get's out, we'll be the laughing stock.
I still oppose to allow Zhao Zi Long making trouble like this.
Oppose! Oppose! You only know how to oppose!
You've always wanted Zi Long to die.
If he assembles the men of the village, you'll send him to the front lines,
and use the mountain thieves to kill him.
Zi Long,
facing the enemy, you don't avoid responsibility and are brave enough to undertake
gathering the villagers to protect the hometown. This is a heroic thing.
Why are you brows furrowed? Why do you sigh lightly?
It is difficult for the best woman to cook without rice.
He was on the streets recruiting troops,
but no one responded, and that hurt him greatly.
So that is the case.
By my side are more than ten brothers with very good martial arts skills, who will live or die together.
They can aid Zi Long in pulling together a troop.
But the bandit army has two or three thousand people.
They will be attacking in two days.
Master, Brother Zhou,
how should I gather a troop of a few hundred people in just a few days?
Zi Long, by your side is an intellect that no one can surpass.
These questions, why do you direct them to us?
Intellect?
Officer Li is right.
The intellect by your side must be fully utilised well.
Can they mean Yue Yi's Hundred Battle Strategies?
This Zhao Zi Long even said that he could assemble a few hundred villagers in just a few days.
I surely don't believe he has the ability to do that.
I don't believe it either,
but since he has the determination, we should look forward to it.
This Zhao Zi Long, just seeing him makes me so angry.
Today, I don't know where Young Miss went again.
She must have been spirited away by Zhao Zi Long again.
That's enough from you!
Don't use such ugly words.
We're here.
We specially chose the longest, most winding path to return,
but we still reached so quickly.
The two of us will still have a lot of time together in the future.
What are you afraid of?
I don't know either.
I've just been worrying about personal gains and losses recently.
Qing Yi, don't worry.
The two of us will definitely be together for a very long time.
Zhao Zi Long!
Where do you want to spirit our Young Miss away to?
See if I don't beat you to death today!
Geng Chun, stop right now! Do you hear me?
As a steward and servant, you're becoming more and more insolent!
I asked you to stop, are you just ignoring my words?
Young Miss, I...
Zi Long, don't bother to bicker with him.You should leave.
Alright.
Stay safe.
Geng Chun, what will make you stop bothering Zhao Zi Long?
As long as Young Miss can give me an actual date of returning home, I can tolerate him for a few more days.
You and I have already stayed here for many days.
The way the Zhending citizens live and work happily is something we've witnessed personally.
It's not like you don't know that the mountain thieves are going to mount a large-scale attack soon.
When that happens, the current peace will no longer exist.
When you think of that, aren't you the slightest bit moved?
I simply cannot understand
why you won't support me staying to help the Zhending citizens.
Surely you can't be willing to see them undergo hardships in such a heartless, insensitive way?
Even if I agree, how will you handle the Lord?
I will personally write a letter to Father to explain, so you won't have to take responsibility.
That should be enough.
Alright, I agree. But you must also promise me,
the moment we repel the mountain bandits, you must return with me immediately,
with no more excuses to delay.
Brother, brother, come and sign up. Brother!
These two brothers, come and contribute some strength to the defense of our home village.
Protect our home village, okay? Brother?
Brother, come here, come here!Sign up to protect our home village.
Brother, brother!
Yu Yi's Hundred Battle Strategies.
How should I use that to recruit soldiers?
Zhao Zi Long followed the direction of Yu Yi's Hundred Battle Strategies, together with Li Quan and Zhou Huai Zhong,
and brought more than ten patriots to raise funds for food supplies.
In the early morning, they transported the food supplies into the city. At night, they secretly transported the food supplies out again.
On the morning of the second day, they disguised themselves and once again transported the food supplies into the city.
And so the cycle repeated itself.
Quickly.
Quickly keep up.
Every day, they have a lot of food supplies sent into the city?
Yes.
Is it that they enter the city very early every day, when it is still dark?
You are right, that is the exact situation.
Alright,
since he wants to put on a show, I will coordinate with him.
You, bring some soldiers over
and send some items to them.
Understood.
Everyone, write your names!
If you want to join the army and protect Zhending county,
everyone should contribute some strength.
Let's go, let's go.
What does this have to do with us?
- Look, the officials are here.- Zi Long.
- What have they brought?- Yeah, why are they here?
You have sufficient food supplies, and you are recruiting soldiers very quickly.
Magistrate Gao is afraid you will have no way to feed yourselves.
He specially ordered me to send some woks.
Magistrate Gao is very considerate.
Good, these two carts of woks, I will accept.
Magistrate Gao also orders that you should not only accept all of these woks,
but that you should also carry them yourselves.The work must be done personally.
Alright, you can return to report.
They've delivered food supplies every day for seven or eight days consecutively.
They have food and drink. If we join, we'll surely be able to eat well, as well as protect our homes.
We'll not only eat well. There's so much food supplies you could die carrying it.
The men who deliver the food supplies each day are different. They must have already recruited a lot of people.
This time the magistrate sent people over to deliver woks.This can't be fake.
Definitely not fake. It's the Iron Mask Hero, how can it be fake?
- Let's join then.- Let's sign up.
- Let's go! - Sign up.
Let me unload Magistrate Gao's woks.
Gao Ze is just joking with you, you're really going to carry them.
Just carrying a little, there's no harm.
Since ancient times, providing timely help is difficult, decorating something already perfect is easy.
As long as we prove to the citizens that we have food supplies and troops,
this will make it even easier to recruit people.
There can never be too much deception in war.They send food supplies into the city every day,
and leave the city secretly at night.
On the second morning,
these men disguise themselves
and send the food supplies into the city again.
They do this repeatedly for a few days to paint a false picture for the Zhending county citizens.
They think that they have lots of food supplies and troops, although that is not the truth.
They're really too cunning.
This Zhao Zi Long is getting more and more scheming.
In Yue Yi's Hundred Battle Strategies Part 1,
there is a section called the art of deception.
It speaks of deception on the battlefield, in order to deceive enemies,
but Zi Long has been forced to apply it
to trick the city's citizens.
Quickly, quickly, I want to sign up!
- Don't squeeze!- Hurry up!
Dong Zhuo gifted this silver to me,
it's my personal wealth.
I'm giving it to Brother Zhao first to support to army, to tide us over for a while.
- Don't squeeze, don't squeeze.- Me, me, me!
Why did you help him like this?
As the magistrate, it was inconvenient for me to help him.
As a romantic rival, there's even less reason to help him,
but if I really didn't help him,
Zi Long would have a harder time,
and you would have followed him everywhere to help in the fundraising, even by begging .
People would have rolled their eyes at you,
and you would have encountered many difficulties.
A high-born lady such as you would surely be so hurt you would cry.
I didn't want to see a scene like that.
My heart would be very uncomfortable.
It's been so many years,
why are you still so concerned about my feelings?
At first, I was most afraid of your tears and sadness,
and I would beg you not to wipe your tears anymore.
I was scared, and you don't know
that this has turned into my childhood scars!
Once you cried, I would be beaten and scolded,
and I would still have to give up the honey cakes I scrimped and saved to buy.
Every time you cried, you made things difficult for me.
I just wanted to make things difficult for you. So what?
Stop! Why are the hands lifting the spears so weak?
Lift them up!
Again!
Come, chop up these vegetables.
Qing Yi, you're packing so much food, it must be for Zi Long, right?
I've been wanting to find some time to send this to him, but everyone's been so busy, I haven't been able to leave.
It's fine, you can go. Aren't I still here?
That's great! Thank you, Fei Yan! I'll go and come back quickly.
Put this inside.
Qing Yi, why are you taking another bowl?
You're so good to me, how can I neglect your Liu Shen?
You see, the bowls of food are exactly the same, so you can't say I'm biased.
To defend, we can't only rely upon the official troops.
We have to pick from among the soldiers that Master is training,
and choose the most elite soldiers to help defend as well..
I say, Scholar Zhao,
I didn't think that your brain would be full of not only classics and history,
but you're also so skilled in military strategies.
I really admire you.
I don't dare to accept this compliment.
Two great generals, its time to eat!
Miss Qing Yi, why didn't Miss Fei Yan come along?
Fei Yan is so busy she can't leave.
Why don't you go and visit her in a while?
Eat more.
It's so fragrant. Here.
Zi Long, do you know that Qing Yi's father, Xiahou Jie,
is not only the one who forced your parents to their deaths,
but also caused the death of your Grandmaster?
Qing Er, what are you doing here?
I...I was just thinking of coming over to see you.
I didn't think that this would all...
Zi Long, just now when I saw you carry your weapon out, I was afraid you've been training too hard.
I specially made these biscuits to come visit you, but I didn't expect them to get scattered all over the ground.
Maybe you shouldn't eat that...
It's fine, no worries.
- Is it nice?- It's nice!
If I knew earlier that you'd like it, I would've made more!
It's actually enough. Truthfully, I'm not very hungry.
I just didn't want to waste your good intentions.
When did Zhao Zi Long become so warm and caring?
Leave it, if you don't want my kindness that's fine.
That's right, Qin Er. Can you help me wrap some dumplings?
Dumplings? You want to eat dumplings?
I want to return to the Valley of Death.
Since I have to cross through water, bringing dumplings would be more convenient.
Return to the Valley of Death? Why?
Just now, I was practicing that fighting style that I learnt from within the valley.
When I was practicing, I encountered a bottleneck I couldn't break through,
so I want to return to compare a little.
Alright, but since young,
the dumplings I wrap, it's not like you don't know how they turn out.
How about I go back and ask Fei Yan or Qing Yi if they can wrap dumplings well?
Okay.
You should eat some too.
You should eat more.
