~ Episode 12 ~
[Ding Residence]
Lord!
I intercepted a message via pigeon by Bai Ze to the Emperor.
How is that fake emperor?
Did he show any flaw?
Replying to Lord, everything is fine.
He is currently very happy.
I believe that this will be the last time that I receive a message via pigeon from Bai Ze.
I know his whereabouts so well.
Lord, please allow me to immediately set out
and I will surely be able to catch them all.
No need to rush. Take care of the matters in the palace first so I can be at ease.
Yes.
Oh, right. Where is that fake emperor now?
He should be inside the Fun and Games Bureau.
You can't catch me! You can't catch me!
Come over here!
Come and catch me!
Come over here!
I caught you! I caught you! I caught you!
Your Majesty really is living so leisurely and happily.
Are you happy?
You all...
leave now!
Look at yourself.
You have no demeanor of an emperor.
You'll be seen through just on the first look.
Lord, in your opinion...
Looks like we have to give him another dose.
- Bring him there. - Yes.
Men!
Tie him up.
No. No. I won't dare anymore.
No. No.
Lord.
Have you found the whereabouts of that girl?
No for now.
The Clouds Harbor is such a small place.
How come it's so hard for you to just find a girl!
Don't know why that girl and those men are
like disappearing into thin air without any trace.
What else are you still doing here?
Hurry and find them!
Yes. Yes.
Zi Su!
Zi Su! Don't move!
- Zi Su! - Zi Su!
Hurry and wake up, Zi Su!
How come there is a fire?
Why are you up there?
Don't mind me anymore!
What nonsense are you saying?
How could we just leave you behind?
How come we've just escaped from the tiger's den but ended up in the wolf's lair?
No. I have to save her!
No. It's too dangerous.
But if she continues like that, she won't be able to take it.
All of you calm down a little!
As long as we work together, we can definitely save Zi Su.
Zi Su! You must hold on a little longer.
A Ji Ya, hurry and use your whip to pull Zi Su a little closer to us.
Don't let the fire to directly roast her.
Okay.
Bai Ze, you go there.
Be ready to use the crossbow to cut off the rope.
I will be below her to catch her.
It's too dangerous.
What if after I cut the rope and you're unable to catch her,
she'll directly fall into the fire.
Believe me! I will definitely catch her.
Hurry and go! Quickly go!
Okay.
Yuan Shuai, it now depends on us.
Let's do a pyramid. That way, we can reach Zi Su.
A Ji Ya, hold on.
Bai Ze, shoot!
Zi Su!
Zi Su...
- Zi Su... - Stand up.
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
Thank you.
Thank you, everyone.
From now on, don't say such stupid words again.
All five of us can't be missed.
Being with you all, I felt that I've grown a lot.
As long as the five of us work together with one will,
nothing can baffle us.
Right. There is no volcano that we can't pass.
Alright, stop these inspirational talks.
There are numerous traps here.
Everyone, be careful.
Let's go.
- Let's go. - Yes.
Don't be happy too early.
Be careful.
Slower.
What kind of place is this? Hey!
Is there anyone here?
Don't shout anymore. Look, you all.
There are three door there.
Based on my observation,
we probably won't be able to get over there.
Then won't we be trapped here?
Look at that thing.
We can use that to jump on first and then swing to the other side.
There really is always a way out.
Is that plausible?
Don't you find it strange?
This swing seemed to have been deliberately placed here by someone.
I feel that there must be a trap behind it.
Don't care whether it's a trap or not. Let's try it first.
I'll go first.
Don't. I'm lighter. I'll go first.
Come over already. The chains are quite safe.
I'll go over there first.
Okay.
I dare not.
It's fine. Later, I'll jump over first.
And then you jump and catch my hands.
I'll then swing you over there.
Come, Zi Su. Hold my hands.
I'll swing you over.
I'm afraid to... I'm afraid to...
Close your eyes. Extend you arms towards here.
No, I can't. I am afraid to.
Zi Su, don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid!
Yuan Shuai!
You're too heavy!
Swing it!
Yuan Shuai!
Be careful!
Hurry and swing it!
Are you alright?
I'm fine. Old Bro Fei!
Hurry and help!
Come over here!
You almost killed me, Yuan Shuai.
Are you okay?
I'm fine. I'm fine.
Let's go.
There are three doors here. Which one will we take?
Look.
On these three doors: One lock,
two locks,
and no lock.
Isn't that suspicious?
I think that these three doors are all problematic.
I can't understand anything.
Bai Ze, you decide.
I also can't say which door to take.
But based on regular logic, we should take the locked door.
I think we should just take that door that's not locked.
Maybe it's just a double bluff.
This door with two locks looks special.
How about we give it a try?
So have we really decided or not?
Just take...
If we continue to wait, we'll starve!
I'll decide!
Be careful.
Don't be reckless!
It looks like Yuan Shuai guessed it right.
How about it?
- Let's go inside and take a look. - Yes.
A Ji Ya and Zi Su, you two follow me.
What's going on?
Don't scare me!
- Come out! - Hurry and come out!
Why are you sneaking around like a ghost?
- Come out! - Come out...
Give yourself some applause.
You didn't disappoint me.
I saw unity among you.
This is what a team should look like.
What do you want to do?!
Although it was just a test, I want you all to remember
that you must not abandon your own teammates regardless of the situation.
Because you are a group, no one should be left behind.
You just abducted us for no reasons at all.
Tell us. Who really are you?
That's right. We currently suffered from both physical and mental damages.
You should at least make up for it, right?
Take off you mask;
or else, we will use force.
Hurry!
Thirteenth Older Sis!
Yuan Shuai!
- How come it's you? - Thirteenth Older Sis, I missed you so much!
- I also missed you guys! - Why are you here?
Thirteenth Older Sis, why are you here?
That's right. I especially came here to test you guys.
I miss your braised pork.
No problem.
I know that you are gluttonous. I'll cook everything you want.
Okay!
Don't. Please let me go.
Let me go.
Give me one more chance.
I definitely will do it well.
I will do it well!
Let go of me!
Don't. Let go of me!
Don't!
Do you know who you are and who I am?
Do you hate me? Do you want to kill me?
You...
You are my parent that gave me a second life.
Even if you want to kill me, I will not go against you.
Are you willing to give me your possessions? Including the throne?
Of course.
As long as you are willing, the whole world is yours. It's all yours.
Looks like we succeeded.
Congratulations, My Lord.
Thirteenth Older Sis, why did you bring us here?
That's right. Why didn't you let Zi Su and A Ji Ya come in with us?
Let me tell you. This used to be one of the contact points of the Department of Heaven Strategy.
Thirteenth Older Sis, how did you know this?
I used to be a member of the Department of Heaven Strategy.
What?!
I was orphaned when I was still very young.
I wandered the streets.
Later on, Bai De Min, Lord Bai,
which was also your father, took me in.
He let me stay at the Department of Heaven Strategy
and do chores there.
Afterwards?
That year, the rebellion of the Department of Heaven Strategy that shocked the nation happened.
His Majesty closed down the Department of Heaven Strategy.
The four main Heaven Strategy Envoys either died or left.
The smaller employees like us were also dispersed.
After that thing, your fathers,
Zhan Ke and Yuan San Lang brought me to Yanjiao Town.
We then settled and hid there.
That garden that you passed by earlier
was where Yuan San Lang loved to practice his martial arts.
That Mystical Iron Sabre of his is an outstanding weapon.
Once the Sabre is shown, who dares to compete with it?
That aura of considering everyone to be beneath him can only come from him.
It's this cooking knife that's in my hand, isn't it?
And your father, Zhan Ke.
At that time, Zhan Ke had Qinggong* (* a Chinese martial art)
to fly from house-to-house and walk on walls.
And that Zhan's family sword technique, he was able to master it and no one could beat him over it.
But I only learned some magic tricks and basic fighting skills.
Maybe... this is Heaven's will.
Although you two don't have the skills of your fathers,
you both have their vitality and courage.
This is my father's...
my father's sword, Gray Thunder Edge.
That's right.
This sword is Zhan Ke's Gray Thunder Edge sword.
I exerted a lot of effort and finally found it.
But it actually just cost three liang* of silver in the black market. (* Chinese unit of weight)
It was thrown on the side walk like a garbage.
Those people... really don't know how to appreciate a true treasure.
Hence, you were afraid that we would suffer greatly if we went against Black Dragon King,
so you deliberately come here to train us?
Towards you, I am very at ease.
But for these two, they always make mistakes at the crucial time.
I really was worried about them.
But this time, I was able to discover shining things from them.
Before when the two of them encountered danger, the first thing they would think of was to escape.
But right now, after you all encountered so many things, you both matured.
When you meet danger, you don't just think of escaping now.
Although... you still don't have the ability to win over the difficulties yet presently,
as long as you have this never giving up attitude,
then you won't be afraid of difficulties anymore.
There won't be any difficulties that will topple you.
Right now, I finally can be at ease.
Now, you all have grown up and matured.
Remember the teachings from your fathers.
Never cause them embarrassment.
Hey, mister.
Mister, how do I get to the auction house?
Oh, it's that store over there.
That one. That one is the auction house.
Come look!
Look at them!
Your Majesty, you should, at least, eat a little.
Living is hope.
It's my fault for being so careless. Causing the death of General Su and my loyal subordinates
and dragging Qian Meng into this.
I ended up in this state.
Do you think I will still have the appetite to eat?
If Bai Ze knew about your situation now, he would surely come back to rescue you.
I instead hope that Bai Ze and Zi Su can stay far away from here as they can and never come back.
I don't want to involve more people!
Your Majesty, don't say that.
I'll accompany you.
Even if Ding Song wants to kill you,
I am willing to endure as many blades as I can to protect you.
You traitor, Ding Song!
You are treacherous and seditious.
It's really a shame that the past Emperor trusted you so much and trained you.
Hurry and let His Majesty go.
I'll help you seek mercy from him to avoid being sentenced to death.
Eunuch Cao, I already heard everything that you said in there earlier.
It's really rare to see such a loyal servant like you now.
I quite admire you.
Disgusting!
Your Majesty, you've suffered these past days.
What do you really want?
Fine. I won't beat around the bush anymore.
As long as you give me one item in your possession, I will let you go.
What do you want?
That Magic Star that's in your hands.
So you also want to have the Magic Stars.
The Magic Stars are good items.
Who in the world wouldn't want to have them?
But I believe that no matter how important the Magic Stars are,
they aren't as important as your life.
As long as you tell me where the Magic Star is kept,
I will immediately let you go.
I think that if I tell you where it is, then I really will be dead.
Don't think that I won't know it even if you don't say it.
When that time comes, you really won't have a chance to live.
Fine then. Go find it.
I'm giving you the easy way yet you just have to force me to do it the hard way.
You will regret this!
Big Sis, I'm here again.
How much are your vegetables today?
One liang per piece.
Sure. Still like in the past. I'll take them all.
- Okay then. - Have to trouble you then.
Hurry up! Hurry up! The auction will be starting soon!
The auction house is over there! Hurry! Hurry!
Wait for me! Hurry up!
- Don't get left behind! Hurry! - Wait for me!
Hey, Big Sis, what are they doing?
That area is an auction house.
Any strange or precious items
can find their buyer in there.
Don't you want your Chinese cabbage anymore?
Number 30: 1,500 liang!
Is there anyone who wants to offer a higher price?
1,500 liang going once.
1,500 liang going twice.
1,800 liang!
1,800 liang...
1,800 liang!
It's 1,800 liang already, everyone.
Is there anyone offering a higher price?
Sold! 1,800 liang!
- The item is yours! - Congratulations...
Next, let me introduce the next item for auction.
Everyone, look at the next item.
This next item is something that I have never seen or heard
in this several years of being an auctioneer.
What could it be? What precious thing could it be?
This auctioned item can produce light anytime, anywhere.
It's interior is even more magnificent.
Especially when you hold it in your hand.
You feel rested and refreshed.
Enough already. Put out the item. Let us see.
Is it real? Where is it?
Everyone, look closely!
Magic Star?!
- Magic Star... - What treasure is that?
How come the Magic Star appeared here?
The initial price for this auctioned item is...
1,000 liang gold.
1,500 liang!
It's 1,500 liang already.
- 5,000 liang! - It's 5,000 liang already!
- 6,000 liang! - It's 6,000 liang already!
If this continues, the Magic Star will be bought by someone else.
It's 7,000 liang already!
I'll take that item.
Ma Shun?!
Here! Here!
After him! Chase after him!
Hey, are you alright?
Let me tell you. Although you won't believe me, this Magic Star...
it originally belonged to us.
I won't give it to you!
Who really are you?!
You don't need to care who I am.
I just want the item that's in your hands.
Why must I give it to you?
Then don't blame me for being impolite.
Somebody was killed.
Hurry and leave! Somebody was killed!
Over there.
Hurry.
Catch this!
Formation.
I'll go look for help.
Attack!
Lord Ma has already said it. This place is very important.
We must guard it strictly.
- Keep watch very closely. You hear me? - Yes.
Stop!
You can't enter here.
I am here to notify you.
It's really bad. Your Lord Ma is in trouble!
He got arrested by that Black Dragon King.
Why would I believe you?
You can choose not to believe me, but everyone in the auction house saw it.
If you guys don't go now and help him, he might die immediately.
Let me tell you. If Lord Ma is able to survive and come back here
and learned that you all were cowards and didn't go to save him,
who knows what would happen.
You all come with me!
Lord Ma told us to guard the warehouse.
We were not allowed to leave without permission.
Pighead!
Who is Lord Ma?
If something bad happens to him, we won't be allowed to live, either.
- Come with me! - Let's go. Go.
Right. Go save him!
Fighting! Fighting! Fighting!
Work hard!
Wen Xuan.
Old Bro Fei, what is it?
I want to give you guys a chance to get rich.
All of you come here!
Let's go! Let's go!
- Let's go! Let's go! - All of you come over here! Hurry!
Come over here! Hey, come over here! Let's go.
Go!
Lord Ma, we were late. Are you alright?
Who told you to come here?
We are here to protect you.
Protect me?
A group of pig heads... Hurry and go back to the gold warehouse!
Everyone! Go back to the gold warehouse with me!
Let's go! Let's go!
Hurry! Move quickly!
Hurry up!
Someone is coming! Hurry!
Hurry! Hurry!
Where?
Hurry!
Hurry up! All of you hurry up!
Hurry! Hurry!
Go! Hurry and go!
What are you doing? What are you doing?!
Put that down! Put that all down!
Put that down!
Why didn't you stop them? What did you eat?
Why didn't you stop them?! Why didn't you stop them?!
You dared to get some, too?!
I'll kill you now! I...
Congratulations, My Lord, for obtaining another Magic Star.
What's there to congratulate?
There are a total of fives stars in the kingdom.
You are in possession of two Magic Stars now.
Isn't this worth being congratulated?
It's good to have one and whatever, if I have two.
I will give these to the wench as a gift for meeting her.
Are you going to give these to that wench?
As long as she's willing to listen to me,
I will do anything.

[Fu An Street]
It should be the one upfront, that strange building.
This is the first time I have seen a house being built this way.
From the view of architecture,
this kind of house is the most secured.
It's because the triangle is the most stable shape.
Well said. Even though I don't really get it but it sounds logical.
I want to have a big house in the sky, too.
There is no problem with the theory.
For example, if we find many birds
and fly us there.
If you live up there, how are you going to come down?
I'll ask Older Brother Bai Ze to make me a pair of big wings then.
Dream on.
Okay, enough.
I find this building very strange.
We should still be wary.
We've passed through so many difficulties. Why be scared?
You can lead the way then.
Older Bro Fei, don't do this.
Let's ask that person over there.
Okay.
Boss, about that...
Big Bro, may I ask what kind of place that house is?
That's is the Mystical Dragon Fortress.
Mystical Dragon Fortress?
Who lives in there?
The Black Dragon King.
What's it like in there?
If I knew, I wouldn't be here selling this trivial stuff.
But I heard it's full of traps in there.
What's wrong? Do you want to go in there?
No. No. We just see that design of that house is special and wanted to know more about it.
- That's right. - Right. Right. Right.
But let me advise you.
If you don't have any business there,
don't go near the Mystical Dragon Fortress.
That isn't a place where anyone can just come and go.
- Thanks, Big Bro. - Don't mention it.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Magic Stars Team @ Viki.com
There is a path ahead. Let's go over there.
Wait. The security is strong here. We shouldn't stay long.
Let's change to another route and discuss about this.
Let's go.
Lord, that wench and her friends that you are looking for, have already arrived at Mystical Dragon Fortress.
I will go now.
Wait. I will call you when I need you.
Yes.
Lady Hong Yu.
What did he do again?
Lady Hong Yu, I'm just a servant.
You shouldn't ask me about the master's business.
Even more so, I don't know anything at all.!
Men Lou! Men Lou!
You've watched me grow up.
I have always regarded you as my father.
I'm begging you to help me.
In this huge Mystical Dragon Fortress,
other than you, no one can help me.
Lady Hong Yu, I already said that
I'm just a servant.
Serving my master is my assigned work.
As for the rest, I shouldn't ask about it.
Okay, you can enter.
Next.
Okay, you can go.
Come here.
Okay, go in.
Older Brother Bai Ze, aren't you good at creating any mechanical stuff?
Can you create something to fly us in?
That's right.
This is not the toy bureau.
Would I be able just to create one at random?
Do you even want to fly?
Look, there are many people there.
Okay, you can go in.
Okay, go in.
They seem to be recruiting people.
We can go in and work.
We were just thinking of how to enter there and they are recruiting people.
Lower your voice.
[Help Needed]
Look at the recruitment notice.
They are recruiting cooks!
Zi Su and I will do the laundry then.
I don't know how to do laundry.
What can you do then?
I... I can do anything.
Do you know how to sew?
I don't know how to do that.
Brew tea and deliver water?
I don't know how to do that, either.
You still say that you can do anything.
Okay, stop fighting.
Let's split up later.
You two in a group. Yuan Shuai, we three are together.
Okay.
Who should I choose then?
You go with A Ji Ya.
Are you not going to take care of me anymore?
You can do anything.
Hello, if he doesn't want to care about you, I will.
I don't need your care.
Okay, go in.
Next.
Go in.
Hurry up.
How old are you?
- Twenty years old. - Go in and gather manure.
Who are in your family?
I don't have any.
Leave. Leave. Go to the side.
- Are you both together? - Yes.
How old are you?
- Sixteen years old. - Fifteen years old.
What can you do?
- I can do all the work of a servant. - I can play the guzheng and...
Whatever. Go in. Go in.
Next. Who are in your family?
- I don't have any family. - What can you do?
I don't know anything.
Why are you here then?!
Go home and pick up manure!
Go away quickly. Next.
What can you do?
I can cook.
- What about them? - They...
- Tell him. - I can...
- Hurry up! - Tell him.
Tell him now.
- They don't know how to do anything. - Nothing at all?!
- Okay, go in. - What?
- Go in now. - Let's go. - Okay. Okay.
Go and tell Black Dragon King that they are here.
I know how to cook.
- I can be a cook. - Then you go to kitchen.
I... I know a lot of things.
Line up behind me.
I know sewing, too.
- Okay. Go to the kitchen. - Oh, sewing.
Okay. Next. Next.
Do you know other things?
Doing laundry, cooking
or cleaning. I know them all.
It'll work. Get busy.
Are there any others?
- What can you do? - It's my turn, right?
Let's split up later. Avoid acting alone.
It will be easier to attend to our matters.
- I will go with Zi Su then. - Okay.
I'm going to the kitchen then. In any case, it's my line of work.
Remember this. You are in disguise now. Don't reveal yourselves.
Okay.
Zi Su, remember this. You are no longer a princess now.
I know. I know.
How can a subordinate talk this way?
Yes, Old Master.
Haha.
Anyway, we should be careful.
Let's split up now to avoid suspicions.
Let's go.
Hurry up.
