[Episode 15]
What a temper.
I just won't go after you.
Why exactly were you expelled from the palace?
Why would you care?
Everyone says that I'm very curious about everything.
But you didn't answer my question.
Why should I answer yours?
Han Jiang!
It's nothing...
I just wanted to call your name.
Why are you looking at me?
No reason.
Han Jiang.
Why do you keep calling my name?
Stop calling my name.
Why?
I told you not to.
But if I don't call your name
how would you know that I'm talking to you?
Call my name, then.
Han Jiang...
Didn't you just ask me why I was expelled from the palace?
I did.
Why were you driven out of the palace?
Do you remember that year when we went on the hunting trip together?
I do.
Back then, someone told me that you were waiting for me on the mountain.
I went to meet you.
But when I got there...
Han Jiang?
Where are you?
Did you ask Wu Ru Yi to bring me that note?
Han Jiang?
What is the matter?
Don't scare me!
Is it you, Han Jiang?
Yes.
What are you going to do?
But I was pushed off the cliff.
What?
Were you injured?
But I knew it deep down...
I knew you weren't the person who pushed me off the cliff.
It definitely was not me.
It's actually quite strange.
It was such a high mountain and yet I fell into an underground cave.
I was too shocked then.
It was all quite a blur.
I only realized that I was underground.
I couldn't tell what was around me.
I only knew it was a cave.
When I woke up, I realized that someone had rescued me.
Who was it?
As for that...
I can't tell you.
What's not to tell?
I've promised them.
I won't tell anyone about them.
Therefore, I've never told anyone about it.
Even if it's you...
The hunting grounds were on the southeast side of Qing Yu Ridge.
Judging by linear distance...
it isn't too far away from here.
What did you say?
Su Yu Ning, has Nanny Su ever mentioned to you
strange sightings under the mountains nearby?
She's never mentioned it.
Stop thinking about such matters.
Get going.
Sir, you said your name was Lu Yun and you got lost
looking for something in Qing Yu Ridge.
Your parents and older relatives are scholars?
Not exactly.
Some are also trained in military combat.
Wang Duo.
What do you do for a living?
It could be said that...
we have some ancestral assets.
That's good.
Your family is blessed with ancestral inheritance.
Your generation can focus on your studies.
It's a lot more carefree that you don't have to vie for anything.
I thought so as well.
I wouldn't have to compete for anything.
I could just focus on my studies.
How wonderful that would be.
However, in the end...
it won't turn out as I wished.
The more ancestral assets you have...
the fiercer...
the competition.
Young people shouldn't worry too much.
You still have plenty of strength.
Just accept whatever comes your way.
I'll stop here.
You can head back first.
Why?
Nanny Su met me in Novoland Inn once.
Back then... she didn't like me very much.
You went to Novoland Inn?
It really was you who took me back to Novoland Inn.
But Nanny Su said that it was just my dream.
Why would she lie to me?
Go in.
She did so for your best interests.
Madam Wang.
You...
Why would you know how to arrange potted plants?
This seems to be how potted plants are arranged in the palace.
I saw it once when I was young.
Why would Mister Lu recognize it?
Only the best floral shop in Tian Qi City
would have their flowers arranged so by florists.
They would place such potted plants outside their shops as their signboard.
I've definitely seen them.
Tian Qi City?
The last time I was there, it was about four years ago.
Madam Wang, you used to be...
Lu...
Young Mistress.
You knew each other?
Mister Lu Yun was injured because of Wang Duo.
He has to recuperate here for some time.
Please forgive me for causing Young Mistress such trouble.
Lu Yun?
How does it feel... to be in love with someone?
Someone once asked me the same question.
I now have an answer.
You do?
What do you know about it?
Who do you like?
Do you really like her?
Have you thought it through?
If you like her, you have to treat her well.
And you have to be good to her for life.
That's what you really call love.
What do you know?
Why are you getting so worked up?
Am I?
I'm not.
This is how I usually am.
I'm talkative.
I couldn't tell.
Who is it that you like?
Go to bed.
Your Highness.
I don't think that you can conceal your identity for long.
For your safety
we should leave this village as soon as possible.
I'll bring you back to Tian Qi City to recuperate.
I think I'm too severely injured.
I won't be able to leave this place any time soon.
I can't walk.
I can't ride a horse.
I can't ride in a carriage.
Not even... a sedan chair.
General.
[He Ge]
That means...
Muyun Lu has really found clues to the Sovereign Seal.
I was in charge of reserving courier stations and replenish rations.
Our informant at the courier station knew one of his men well.
He has asked him in private.
He said that the prince is looking for Long Yuan Chamber
to seek a book of mysteries.
Then he'd be able to find out where the Sovereign Seal is.
But Prince Lu might have gone missing.
How is that so?
Before they enter Qing Yu Ridge
there should be one last courier station.
However, the garrison guards at the courier station
have been waiting for half a month now.
None of Prince Lu's men have been there.
Didn't anyone at Shang Yang Pass go looking for him?
Before Prince Lu set out
he appointed General Di Huo to take over temporarily.
He said he'd be gone for some time without a confirmed time of return.
You may dismiss.
Your reward is already prepared for you.
Thank you, Your Highness!
I'll send my men to search for Muyun Lu.
As for Muyun Han...
Please try to stall him for me, Uncle.
It's best if...
It's best if you can stall him until my father passes away.
And that he never makes it back.
That's easy.
I've been fostering that Helan Clan in Han Prefecture for years.
It's about time I put them to use.
Court chant!
Long live the emperor!
Bow!
Rise!
Court chant!
Long live the emperor!
Bow!
Rise!
Return to your seats!
Muru Shuo... we've been defeated!
Muru Shuo!
Muru Shuo...
The Muru Cavalry that petrifies the entire Han Prefecture!
They were only sent out to annihilate a tiny Helan Clan!
They were actually defeated!
All the feudal lords are waiting to mock us.
This is just wonderful!
They get to mock all they want now!
Nanku Qi... Nanku Qi!
Nanku Qi! What have you got to explain?
Say something!
I've only been...
I only took charge of military power on behalf of His Majesty.
As for the soldiers...
Those are still the Muru family's soldiers.
Why would I be blamed for their defeat?
You--
- You... - Your Majesty.
Gusong Zhi is accusing me.
I'm not frightened at all.
Everyone knows that they are the Muru Cavalry.
Not the Nanku Cavalry.
Are they not?
Master Muru.
We were defeated.
We were defeated...
Your Majesty!
Our Muru Cavalry was defeated!
I have failed you!
Master Nanku.
From this day forth...
The defense of Han Prefecture...
I shall turn it over to Prince Han's personal troops!
You--
Muru Shuo!
It's our nation's humiliation!
[Han Prefecture]
Jin Zhu Hai! Get back here now!
Get back here now!
Jin Zhu Hai, watch out!
Leave it to me.
Thank you for saving me.
What's your name?
I'm Jin Zhu Hai.
Pa said that it means the golden pearl of Tian Tuo Strait.
Where do you come from?
[Jin Zhu Hai] Why do you have chains on you?
What else could it be?
He's either a fugitive or someone's slave.
You're bleeding.
Doesn't it hurt?
I know that he's a runaway slave.
Pops, it's the rule of Han Prefecture
that runaway slaves must be sent back when discovered.
If anyone learns of it
we won't be able to do any business in Han Prefecture.
Kusu Du!
Put your dagger away.
He saved me.
Reputation is everything to Jin Ji, your father!
If we let him go and others hear of this
we'll no longer be trusted by the other clans.
Our rainbow goat's head will be smashed.
How can we still survive in Han Prefecture?
Pa!
Step aside.
How many days have you been on the run?
I'm not a slave.
I was out herding sheep.
Where are your sheep?
They ran off.
Folks of Han Prefecture...
They would even punish their own sons for losing sheep.
What are you going to do about it?
I'll head home.
Pops, we can't trust him.
Pa!
Jin Zhu Hai.
Get him some dry food.
Let him leave.
[Shuofeng He Ye] Pops!
You still haven't told me your name.
He Ye.
Shuofeng He Ye.
If I see you again...
I'll make you mine.
Jin Zhu Hai.
Pa, have a seat.
It's fine.
I just have a few words to say.
If you're just going to preach, don't bother.
My child, you're still young.
I don't want to listen to that.
If anyone is in need of help, most people would lend a hand.
Although he saved you, it doesn't mean that he likes you.
Why should that matter?
All right, get some rest soon.
We must get to the Suoda Clan tomorrow.
[Suoda Clan, Han Prefecture] My dearest friends!
Suoda Meng!
Old Jin Ji!
I knew it!
Early in the morning, a male eagle was hovering over my tent.
I knew that there would be honorable guests today.
Who knew that it would be my dearest Old Jin Ji?
Suoda Meng.
You must be thinking of my carriage full of salt.
We're merchants.
We still have to make some small talk.
Let me say this upfront.
You only get half a carriage of salt this year.
Sure... half is just as good!
Jin Zhu Hai!
Unload the goods!
Jin Zhu Hai!
Look at this child...
She's--
Your daughter gets prettier year after year.
How is that a pearl by the sea?
She's totally the pearl of Han Prefecture!
You're still the one with good taste.
This child takes after me.
Cut that out.
My dear old cavalryman.
The winds on the prairie must have blurred your vision.
Come on in!
Jin Zhu Hai, come here!
Whenever I see the beautiful Jin Zhu Hai, I often think to myself
just how beautiful her mother must be to have her turn out so pretty.
It's no wonder.
You even quit the Muru Cavalry because of her.
You chose to become a deserter instead.
Old Jin Ji, look at me.
Me and my big mouth.
This way, please.
I'm reminded of our age now that I see the girl all grown up.
That's why I recall the past.
Old Jin Ji.
What kind of a husband will you get your daughter?
I don't have any special requirements.
First of all, he has to be worthy of her.
Second, he must treat her well.
What did you just say?
It's just like doing business.
The more we say there's no requirement, the more demanding it is!
Jin Zhu Hai!
Greet Uncle Meng.
Don't be so rude.
Uncle Suoda Meng.
You're getting quite stout.
Indeed!
I'm getting old.
I have to look more plump.
That will make your Uncle Suoda Meng look as if he's made great profits!
Come! We'll have milk tea together!
Sure!
When I see you again...
I'll make you mine.
I want this man.
By all means, name the price.
He's really not for sale.
Suoda Meng.
We've been friends for years.
You wouldn't even sell me a slave?
You don't have a clue.
He's a jinx of Han Prefecture that we can't get rid of.
He will bring great calamity upon Han Prefecture.
He's not from the prairie of Han Prefecture.
He's inauspicious.
Will you get our entire clan killed?
Novoland will soon be destroyed!
He is the king of the sea and land.
An Iron Wielder will bring bloodshed and war.
He was born to pull out the Iron King Sword in the volcano.
He will lead the people of North Continent to conquer Novoland.
You're a merchant. I really hope that you can take him away from the prairie.
It's to avoid destruction upon our prairie.
Tian Qi City... One day, I will surely return.
I, Shuofeng He Ye...
I'm the lord of North Continent's Shuofeng Clan.
The next time I return...
I'm the Iron Wielder.
This city shall stand no more.
It will become a cage for atonement.
I want everyone in the city...
I want them dead under my blade.
I'll use your blood...
Offer it as a sacrifice to my parents.
I want to send all these high and mighty nobility...
into eternal hell.
Have a taste of inequality and injustice.
Until...
your soul vanishes into thin air.
But four years ago
when I was outsourcing at Quan Ming Harbor...
I actually saw him there.
So you had him captured to be your slave?
He was the one who didn't have a penny on him.
He was starving to death.
I got a random person to buy him some food.
However, I secretly drugged the food with Starry Weed.
When he fell asleep from it, I had him captured.
You could bear to use such a valuable herb on him?
I had no other choice.
Han Prefecture is our home, after all.
I don't want it to be destroyed.
Only by keeping him right under my nose...
Can I get some sleep.
I never expected to hear this.
What is it?
I always thought that you were but a merchant
who cared for nothing but money.
I am a merchant.
But I'm also human.
I, too, have a heart.
Even more so, I have feelings.
This man is not for sale.
However much you're willing to pay for him...
he's not for sale.
Here, we'll have some wine!
Drink!
Here's a toast to you.
Your Lordship, she was going to steal our slave.
Jin Zhu Hai!
You--
Jin Ji.
I've made it very clear to you.
Pa, if we don't save him, he'll end up dead.
You must have really grown old.
You've forgotten the rules of the prairie.
You did this behind my back.
Don't you want to enter Han Prefecture ever again?
We admit our mistake!
- Pa! - Shut up!
Come out here! Now!
- Pa! - Come!
Get over there!
Have you been blinded?
I'll never agree to that!
I know that he saved you.
But you're not to repay him in that way!
What are you doing?
It isn't because he saved me.
Pa, I like him.
What do you know?
It's exactly because I don't know a thing
that I have to follow my heart's desire.
Pa!
You have to agree to it today.
I dare you to stab yourself!
I spoiled you rotten as a child!
Vile child!
Pa! I am your daughter!
Since I was a child...
you've told me numerous times of your romance with Ma.
I'm so envious of you.
It was since then that I made up my mind!
As long as I found a man I fancied...
I would give him everything I own!
Pa...
Didn't you forsake everything because of Ma as well?
But also, since then...
I've never spent a day in peace.
Have you ever regretted it?
Not once.
Jin Zhu Hai.
Do you really like that boy?
I really do.
You won't regret it?
Never will I regret it.
I told you.
That when I saw you again...
I'd make you mine.
You don't like it?
It will heal soon.
