Episode 14
Father, are you asleep yet?
Not yet. Come in.
- Father. - You're still awake? Did you need something?
If you need something, tell me directly. Why are you holding it back?
Father, I want to travel with Di Renjie and the others.
One, I can travel the world. Two, I want to learn Di Renjie's detective techniques.
It will be good use to me later in the Ministry of Justice to prove my capabilities.
Is that your reason?
Does that mean you've accepted your defeat against Di Renjie?
Of course not. This is called "staying open-minded to learn" and "respecting talented men".
What's wrong, father? Do you not agree with me?
Are there other reasons?
If you like a certain girl,
and are willing to travel with her, I won't stop you.
Everyone has been young and frivolous before.
That's not it. I just wanted to travel and learn.
Father, will you agree or not? Please say yes!
Fine, fine, I'll let you.
My son is so eager to learn, so why would I reject this offer?
Go with them. I can take care of the Ministry of Justice.
Thank you, father.
Be careful on the road tomorrow. I'm leaving with them tomorrow.
Okay. Go ahead.
My son, it might be a good thing
for you to stay away from me.
Sister Jingqiu, will you really not leave with us?
Iris Valley can't be without an owner. This is my home.
My most precious assets are here.
Assets? What assets? Do you mean those treasures?
- Are you a miser? - Did I say something wrong?
Sister, I will be back to visit you.
Hurry and head on your way.
Okay, let's go.
Er Bao, where's my ball?
You should keep this.
- Take care. - You too.

Although you didn't accomplish your task,
you've done enough to make up for your crimes.
But my lord, Gou Chen is dead. We've lost a group leader.
This is all a result of my bad performance.
Please punish me.
If we want to achieve great things, there must be sacrifices. Left Envoy, don't blame yourself.
- Rise. - Thank you, my lord.
- Carve Gou Chen's name on Dragon-Slaying Hall's service records. - Yes.
My lord, please give your word to allow me to find Di Renjie to get revenge for Gou Chen.
That Di Renjie again? I'm becoming more interested in this person.
My lord, I told you before that he is Di Zhixun's son.
He is skilled in both fighting and knowledge. Plus, he is close to Li Zhi.
He might become a big obstacle in the future.
Really? Even better. If there's a chance, I want to meet him
to see what kind of person he is.
My lord, how should we deal with the treasure at Iris Valley?
When Iris Valley disappears...
I understand. I will follow your order.
Why did Li Zhi summon Di Zhixun in secret?
This... Perhaps they know.
No matter what, keep a close eye on this. This pair of father and son are not ordinary people.
- I will remember. - You are just losers.
Compared to me, your small tricks
are nothing. I have the most noble bloodline
and the most excellent talents. And you?
You only have noble excuses.
I will make you willingly roll down
from your throne. Roll,
roll, roll,
all the way to the lowest layer of hell.
Officials' Office
- Your Excellency. - Oh, Dengshan.
Your Excellency, the court is in chaos right now. What should we do?
If there are no big problems with His Majesty,
we don't need to worry.
Shouldn't we blame Du Ke for Brother Runze's death
and the death of our sons?
The punishments for the Iris Valley case has been done.
Du Ke has been sick since his return to Chang'an,
and His Majesty even personally visited him.
- Then-- - What can I do about it?
Will we just forget about our vengeance?
Dengshan, sit. Currently in the court,
His Majesty is pretending to be weak, but in fact, he is prepared both militarily and scholarly.
We can't take reckless actions.
As the saying goes, "To take revenge for your son, ten years later is not too late."
Why be so anxious?
But I think the prayer ceremony at Mount Tai
wasn't simply a punishment from heaven. Somebody
must have planned for it.
You mean that somebody wants to overthrow the throne?
It is just my guess, but
we can sit back and watch the two tigers fight each other.
At the critical moment, we can strike
and fight inconsistency with consistency.
- Waiter! - Guests, please come in.
- Guests, please sit. - Okay.
- What would you like to order? - Bring up all the good dishes.
Okay, please wait!
With this demeanor, they're either gangsters or officials.
They're definitely not good people.
Why are you looking at me?
It's all because you look like the typical son of an official.
Well said. Cheers.
Coming!
Here, guests.
Young Master, I got the answer. Although this town is small, it doesn't lack anything.
Are you talking about a sparrow? (a common phrase)
No. People said that not far from this tavern, there's a place called Zuihong House.
It has good food, good entertainment, and good music.
Also, there are pretty girls.
At night, there's a night market. They sell all sorts of food.
Wanqing, don't misunderstand. I never go to places like that.
You're all tarred with the same brush.
Sister Wanqing, there's a saying that goes "A crooked stick
- will have a crooked shadow". - "Will have a crooked shadow."
If I'm a crooked stick, you're also crooked! Wanqing, last time, she dragged me inside to drink alcohol.
She just had to drag me in! You!
Have you been there before?
Say it!
- Your lives are so messy. - It is messy!
Fallen Valley? Guests, you mustn't go there.
Why not?
It would be fine if you went a few years ago.
Before, the Fallen Valley was called Moonlight Town.
It used to be a fun place. Calling it a heaven on earth was no exaggeration.
It had brothels and taverns.
If you had money, you could have done anything,
but now...
- What happened to it now? - You don't know, right?
A few years ago, there was a huge fire.
It burned all the major lands in the town.
Later, many people left, and it became a wasteland.
Since it's a wasteland, why can't we go?
Miss, you must not know.
If it's a normal forest, people can go,
but nobody can leave the forest at Fallen Valley.
Many people go there, but none has come out.
Plus... Plus, Fallen Valley
has unclean things.
Unclean things?
Yes. Vampires live in the valley.
Vampires?
Yes, they're nocturnal.
They're like bats. They can fly
and suck human blood.
They drank all the blood of the remaining people in Fallen Valley.
That's why nobody dares to go now.
Little kid, what are you talking about? Go back to work.
Enjoy your food.
Guests, the forest is sparsely populated,
and beasts often appear, so it's very dangerous. If you're looking for entertainment,
please go elsewhere.
Shopkeeper, thank you for your care. Here.
Thank you, guest. Thank you.
What's a vampire?
It sounds so scary. I-Is it true?
Vampires don't exist. They're all just rumors.
Why is it another valley? It sounds scary. Young Master,
we just left Iris Valley.
Xiao Hu,
what are you thinking about?
I was thinking, what's that Fallen Valley like?
I think you're wondering what it was like before.
No.
No matter what, Young Sir Wang, I think we have a place to go.
I think so too.
It's such a scary place! Why must we go?
Because those people will go.
Those people?
- Here, leader. - Cheers.
They seem to be very clear of the situation at Fallen Valley, until...
Until they found the truth of the vampire rumor.
If there's a question, there's an answer.
Young Master, it's such a scary place. Who will lead us there?
Er Bao, did you forget that we have Young Sir Wang?
- Thank you, Young Sir Wang. - Thank you, Young Sir Wang!
Thank you for your hard work. Thank you.
- Thank you, Young Sir Wang. - Thank you, Young Sir Wang.
Hey,
what are you worried about?
I was thinking,
can you defeat the girl from that table?
I was thinking the same thing. I think I can barely manage.
She's the weakest of the five.
Hey, okay. Let's find a place to live after eating.
Here, here. Drink.
Here, cheers to our leader.
- Cheers. - Cheers, leader.
Uncle Wu,
who are they?
I think they're people of the pugilist world.
Uncle Wu, it should just be a rumor, right?
It's probably a rumor. Don't be scared.
Looks like you are also worried about that Meiniang,
but it's nothing strange. Which woman doesn't want her man
to only think about herself?
Looks like you are no exception, Sister.
I have no such thought.
As the noble consort, if you want to do something,
nobody can stop you,
but I am different. Although I am a concubine of rank zhaoyuan,
I am still a concubine. Luckily, I'm not a very greedy person.
Although I can't win over His Majesty's adoration,
I still have Jing'er. No matter where or when,
his identity as a prince won't change.
As his mother,
there's no need for me to worry.
It's true that you don't have to fear anything.
His Majesty is not a fickle person. In the past, His Majesty loved you very much.
As you said, you still have Jing'er,
so you can just relax.
Of course,
but I'm worried for you, sister.
I heard that you agreed for Wu Meiniang
to enter the palace.
I don't know if this is true or not. If it's true,
I must remind you that it was a horrible mistake.
Isn't this like luring a wolf into your room?
Of our fellow sisters in the inner palace,
who has ever earned His Majesty's devotion?
But once Wu Meiniang arrived, other than going to visit Jing'er,
His Majesty never once entered my room.
I don't think you have it any better, Sister.
If one day
Wu Meiniang gives birth to a prince or princess,
with His Majesty's current affections for her,
I assume you can't protect your current position.
Aiya, I really don't understand this.
Why did you do something that'll only hurt youself?
How dare you be so disrespectful to Her Highness, Concubine Xu?
You should be punished.
Xiao Zhao, don't be rude.
Young Sister, you don't need to worry about the troubles of the inner palace.
I can deal with them.
I believe that His Majesty is not fickle.
You just need to take good care of Jing'er, be content with your current position, and behave as a proper woman.
Go back and rest early. Xiao Zhao, walk the guest out.
Concubine Xu, please be on your way.
Since Sister has asked me to leave,
I won't bother you longer. I hope you will look out for yourself.
Outrageous.
She's just like me, a doleful woman.
Perhaps she is right.
I am falling into my own trap
and luring a wolf into my room.
Your Majesty, I have a request.
Meiniang, say whatever you would like. No need to ask for permission.
I would like to ask Your Majesty to not come to
Cuiwei Residence again, starting tomorrow.
Why is this? Are you worried that
I would cling onto your gentleness and forget about the nation?
I don't want my private relationships to damage Your Majesty's wisdom.
I am glad you are so thoughtful.
If this is so, I will tell you the truth.
Since the failure at Mount Tai,
I've been suspecting that court officials have colluded with outer influences, wanting to overthrow the throne.
Before, I pretended to be sick and ignored the court.
Later, I used your return to trick them into thinking that I only care about love.
Actually, I have already sent somebody to secretly investigate.
Di Renjie's travels are part of my plan.
Di Renjie is extraordinarily smart.
If there are any dissension, he can tell.
Does Di Renjie know?
Of course he does not know.
I didn't give him any responsibilities or instructions.
Honestly, I treat him as a friend.
At Ganye Temple, if he hadn't outwitted the ministers,
it would have been much harder to bring you back.
That's why I don't want him to be stressed or in danger,
but now that I think about it, it is good training for them to travel.
I'm envious of them.
I feel at ease now. If it's for Your Majesty's benefit,
I'm not afraid, even if people curse at me.
Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will help you perform this act of "I love only women, and not the country".
Good. Thank you, Meiniang.
We've bought all our supplies. I'm just afraid we won't get past that forest.
I don't believe that we can't figure out a way.
Miss, I heard some of the rumors in the valley.
I think we should...
Uncle Wu, don't trust rumors.
No matter what, I must go back to pay my respects to my parents.
Let's go.
There are so many events in the valley, but none relate to us.
Why must we go?
It's true that it doesn't relate to us, but I want to find the truth.
Aren't you thinking too highly of yourself?
I'm not thinking highly of myself.
Sometimes, you may not care about something,
but others may care a lot.
That's why I'm responsibly for finding the truth
and returning the truth to the world.
What if you die?
I'm not afraid.
Didn't I hand my own life to you at Ganye Temple?
I was not afraid.
Okay, let's go rest.
We'll go catch the vampire tomorrow.
Dragon-Slaying Hall
My lord, I've found their whereabouts.
- Good. - Should I...
Can you bear it?
If it can help accomplish your ultimate goal,
I will not back down.
Good. No wonder you are my Left Envoy.
I've already sent men there. You don't have to worry about this.
If nothing else, you may leave.
Yes.
Scary Fallen Valley
Isn't this just a small valley? We've been walking all around.
I don't think it's anything special.
Yes, we've walked back and forth so many times, but we still haven't left.
I don't believe that we can't leave a small forest like this.
Hey.
Are you two also headed towards the valley?
Yes, young sir. We've been wandering around the whole day,
but we're still in this forest.
Why are you going to the valley?
My parents died in the fire,
so Uncle Wu and I are going to pay respects to them.
Oh. Miss, I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you, young sir.
That happened many years ago.
I've never been in the valley, since I've always lived with my uncle.
It's a surprise to hear so many rumors my first time here.
We also heard about them, but I believe they're all fake.
Young sir, why are you all going to the valley?
- Oh, we're-- - We are the county officials,
so we wanted to investigate the rumors.
Really? That's great.
Young sir, do you know how to leave this forest?
We are also searching for an exit.
How about we go together? We can take care of each other this way.
Thank you, young sir.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
What have you discovered after walking so far?
If you haven't discovered anything, I wouldn't, either.
Also, what else do you not know about this place?
Say some things that I don't know.
It's the county annal. I secretly ripped it off last night.
Good.
What are you looking at? I secretly went to the county yamen last night.
You stole something? It might ruin your reputation, Young Sir Wang.
Xiao Hu,
where are you leading us? We're still stuck here. I don't want to walk anymore.
Will we be stuck here tonight?
Er Bao!
- Do you have to pee? - Yes.
Go over there
and pee it all out.
Young Master, there's a path here. Hurry and come over.
Good. Let's go.
Er Bao.
Aiya, we finally left the forest.
Thank you, everyone. I still must pay my respects to my parents,
so I won't bother you much longer. See you later.
Hey, what are you looking at?
You can't help yourself, since she's so pretty?
Are you trying to deny it? Sister Wanqing, don't you agree?
Why are you looking at me?
Go look at the pretty girl.
That's right!
Sister Wanqing, let's go.
Yuanfang.
Tong Mengyao!
You can't live any longer!
Stop running!
Save me!
Everyone, I think this place is suitable to set up camp. Let's live here tonight.
Good.
Er Bao, come here. Find some firewood and start a fire.
- Okay. - Wanqing, Mengyao, please clean up the place and cook dinner.
Why? Why will we live here?
There are so many houses here. Any broken building would be better than this place.
That's right. Let's find a place where vampires reside
and had many people burned to death inside. Good idea!
Let's stay here, then. It's nice.
You've already handed all the tasks to us. What will you do?
I'll follow you
and help your work.
Hey.
Hey, who are you?
Looks like we're not the only gutsy ones.
There are vampires here.
Are you possible the vampires?
Stupid man, what are you saying?
Who are you?
You haven't answered our question yet.
We're the officials here.
There has been too many rumors about this valley lately.
The magistrate sent us here to find the truth.
Oh, so you are officials. I apologize for our rude behavior.
We are businessmen who happened to pass by.
We heard that this valley is very special.
We've been traveling many years, and we've never seen this place,
so we wanted to visit.
Everyone, this is a valley after all. It's dangerous. If you have nothing else to do,
please leave as soon as possible.
Yes.
We've been walking in circles and haven't seen anything,
but it's getting late now.
We can only stay for the night.
We'll leave tomorrow morning.
Then, we won't bother Your Excellencies much further.
Farewell.
Hey, don't you hold a very high position? Why are you acting like a lowly official?
I learned it from you.
You learned from me how to trick little girls?
So naughty.
Young Master!
- Young Master! - What is it?
I found a cave over there; it's very clean. We can sleep there tonight.
Just in time! Let's go, Yuanfang.
Let's go.
How unlucky.
How could we meet officials?
Officials? How could they be officials?
We saw them while eating.
Then, who are they?
I don't know, either.
Are they also after the treasure?
It's possible.
Then, we should kill them. There aren't many people here, anyway. It's not our first time.
Don't say nonsense.
We're here for money, not to kill people. Don't act recklessly.
There are a few caves ahead. We'll rest here tonight.
Tomorrow morning, we'll take action.
Okay.
How is it?
It's a big cave inside. There are a few exits,
but they're all blocked, so we can stay here in peace. But...
But what?
The exits were blocked by humans. Also, I found that
there are hints of smoke and roasted meat.
Yes.
Judging by the wind coming through the cracks, this cave has at least 3 to 5 openings. Plus, its structure is very complex.
No matter what, we'll stay here tonight. We'll take shifts to watch over the fire.
Everybody will guard for 2 hours. I'll go first.
No. What if I'm afraid?
It's okay. Your shift can be after mine; I'll keep you company.
Wanqing, are you afraid?
I'm not scared.
But I'm scared. You keep me company.
Young Master, what about me? I'm also...
It's nothing.
Have you decided?
Watch the fire!
What are you thinking?
I'm thinking about that group of people and that girl from the afternoon.
You think they're strange, right?
I meant, they think we're even stranger.
I feel like there are very complicated relationships in this place.
Also, it relates to that fire from the past.
Perhaps it's also related to the vampires.
Hey, why do you think they came to this valley?
This valley was originally called Moonlight Town, but was ruined by fire.
I think there must be a lot of pearls and treasures here.
I suspected the same, but that girl seemed very rushed. I don't think she's here for money.
Perhaps they're really here to visit her parents?
Perhaps. I think an even bigger secret is hidden.
Leader, I think Dai Yun is right.
The people from earlier today might hinder us.
I think we should just kill them.
- That's right. I'll do it. I promise it'll be quick and clean. - Yes.
Enough. Don't say anymore. Don't let this small problem ruin our ultimate goal.
Jinhai, what are you thinking about?
Oh, nothing. I was thinking, the youngsters from today are all martial arts experts.
Hey, we'll just fight inconsistency with consistency. If they dare to block us from our fortune, we'll deal with them,
but if they're not an obstacle, it's better that we steer clear of them.
- Hey, what are you doing? - Going to pee. There's a woman here, so it's inconvenient.
If you have the guts, pee here.
Dai Yun, you can't out-talk my sister.
- Leader, what should we do tomorrow? - I already have it planned.
I marked some caves on the map. We'll search them one by one.
- Here, and here. - Okay.
Oh, no!
Oh, no. Something bad has happened.
Huh? Hey!
- Dai Yun! - Dai Yun!
- Where are you? - Dai Yun!
Hey, he's there!
You scared us. Why didn't you answer to our call? Are you possessed?
Don't panic!
What's going on?
Don't come closer.
In this valley, you're the only other ones here. My friend has been killed. It must be related to you people.
Put down your sword. What are you doing? Put it down!
Your Excellency, my friend has been killed, so it's inevitably that they would lose their cool.
Please forgive us.
We only came out after hearing the scream.
Since he's dead, it is now our business.
Don't be a hypocrite.
Don't say anymore. Since you are here, please investigate the case.
Hey.
His whole lower body is gone. What type of weapon can cause this?
Did the vampire really do this?
Judging by the scene, this was done by something supernatural.
Impossible! How could vampires exist? Don't speak so carelessly.
He's your friend. You understand his martial arts abilities the best.
There are no signs of fighting here, and all the blood are in one area.
Thus, I can assume that he was killed in one hit. Also, he didn't have a chance to fight back. Look at the other side.
There are signs that the grass was crushed. Going down this hill can leave the mountain,
but the traces are so clean. It was not done by humans.
- What do you mean? - If a human rolled down the hill, the traces would be messy.
Also, his lower body is gone. If the culprit took it away, there'd surely be blood droplets,
so the culprit's escape route should be supernatural.

- Treasure? Cave? - Do you think I'm the murderer?
I think the treasure is hidden in one of these caves.
I'll go keep watch at the mountain opening. It's an unavoidable route.
- What is that? - I don't know if it's a human or a ghost, either.
- There's a ghost! It was flying around! - What ghost?
Aren't you afraid of the vampires, then?
Guo Jinhai and Chen Qi are missing!
