[Episode 2]
So, Old Ma,
you want me to go on the road with them.
Isn't that leading the lamb to the tiger?
You should leave me, this Woodcutter of Shubi Lake, to cut useless firewood here for a few more years.
Do you want to go to the Academy to cultivate?
They have a cultivator at the upper level of mystery comprehension.
Lu Qingchen.
You should have heard of him.
A cultivator at the upper level of mystery comprehension.
I'll go.
You want to go along? Only after I agree to it.
The safety of the princess concerns the rise and fall of Great Tang.
If there's even half of a misstep,
your death won't be worth anything.
Exactly. I'm a general. I direct war.
Not to help you put on armor.
Get lost.
Thank you, General.
[Tang Nation Capital]
Who's there? [Tang Empress, Xia Tian]
Who is it?
[Tang General, Xia Hou]
What are you doing here?
How have you been?
Even a cultivator like you can have white hair.
You went without turning back for a certain someone.
So what if my hair grayed for you?
You come at the risk of death.
Princess Li Yu has already escaped the Golden Horde.
It's good if she can come back safely.
If she comes back safely, then you won't be safe.
She's one who wants you dead.
His Majesty will protect me.
Him?
I'm afraid he can't even protect himself now.
Don't worry. I can protect myself well.
I won't let anyone hurt you.
The person who should be coming, let her come.
Are you not satisfied with this guide?
I want an skilled and capable guide,
and not one who only dreams of cultivating and speaks coarsely.
Although Ning Que is young,
he's spent the last two years in the grasslands and killed quite a few horseback bandits.
Being able to kill people doesn't mean one is a good guide.
Wei City has 300 deploys.
Although Ning Que isn't the one who has killed the most enemies, he can guarantee survival.
If the fiercest battle is encountered, the one who can survive will definitely be him.
Besides, he counts as making a good showing to be able to qualify for taking the entrance test for the Academy.
I am present.
Princess, there's no need to be too anxious.
Then I'll trust you this once.
Thank you, Princess.
Reporting to Your Majesty,
The oracle has entered the palace at this late time of night, saying he has an urgent matter to report.
Allow him in.
Yes.
Official Li Qingshan greets Your Majesty.
Oracle, it's so late at night. What is so urgent? [Tang Emperor, Li Zhongyi]
Your Majesty. [Oracle of Tang Nation, Li Qingshan]
Before, I performed a divination. [Oracle of Tang Nation, Li Qingshan]
I fear that the princess has encountered problems on her journey.
I request Your Majesty to sent people forward to aid her.
There is no need for you to worry.
The reinforcements that His Majesty has sent are already nearly at the northern mountain pass.
The princess' safety will be guaranteed.
Whoever dares to stop her will be killed no matter what.
Yes.
[Zhuo Er]
Sang Sang.
How do you feel about going to the capital together?
Young Master.
Next time you go to the firearms dealer, remember to bring oil back.
This door has been creaking for a few months.
The sound is really annoying.
Can you stop swinging that broken door?
Before I told you that tomorrow I'm going to the capital to take the entrance test to the Academy.
Even if we leave, then there other people are still going to live here.
The capital.
Do we have to go?
We can't just stay in Wei City forever.
Old Ma said too that the outside world is very big and it's about time for us to see it.
I heard the capital is very big.
There are many people.
It is very big, but there isn't anything to be afraid of.
We'll still follow old customs. I'll deal with people outside,
you'll stay at home.
Then tell me, when we get to the capital,
the monthly expenses of meat, vegetables, rice, about how many silvers will that cost?
When you enter the Academy, you'll definitely new clothes.
And then, what if we have guests over?
Like classmates.
Then I have to have new clothes, too.
Roughly calculating, that's about ten silvers.
Ten silvers.
Just ten silvers.
I heard the capital has a famous restaurant called Victory Restaurant.
Eating a meal there costs this much.
Two silvers?
Twenty silvers.
Twenty?
Silvers? For one meal?
I'm not going.
The capital doesn't just have a Victory Restaurant. There's also the palace.
In the palace live ladies that don't every worry about clothing or food.
Guess what they eat every day.
I guess the ladies in the East Palace fry meat pies and those in the West Palace peel green onions.
So many that the meat pies are like an ocean and green onions are like a mountain.
So smart, Sang Sang.
Sang Sang, what's this about meat pies in the middle of the night?
Talk tomorrow.
Sect Leader.
Don't move. Your wounds are severe.
Here, drink the medicine first.
I will repay you for saving my life.
[Yulong Sect Leader, Chao Xiaoshu]
You belong to my Yulong Sect. We are brothers.
Sect Leader. I-
Why did you appear there?
Why were you chasing that person?
If you don't want to tell me now, you don't have to.
I just want to remind you that person is too strong.
You'll never be his match.
Some problems already aren't just mine.
Get well soon.
Seventy six silvers,
three coppers
And four cents!
If it wasn't for the Academy entrance test, I wouldn't sell that big black horse even if I was beaten to death.
That horse eats too much.
And you don't eat? Be careful or I might sell you, too.
I don't eat as much as you do.
Sang. You have a cold again?
Here, drink some wine.
There's nothing to fear if there's wine to drink.
Young Master, we eat, drink, and use the same things
but why don't you have a cold?
If I had a cold, who would help you warm your bed?
Are you still cold?
Come here.
Feet.
So warm.
Picking up a girl like you, I have the bad luck of eight lifetimes.
Talk about it after you live eight lifetimes.
Go sleep.
Young master, you should sleep too. I'm not cold anymore.
If I go to sleep, who will warm your feet?
Go sleep.
Timing and Subtitles Brought To You By The Ever Night Team @ Viki
I don't know why,
but every time I see you I think of my brother Zhuo Er.
I don't where Little Black is either.
Young Master, are you going to bring it to the capital?
Do you want to go with me to the capital?
Or stay here in the wild?
Got it.
[Ning Que]
Sang Sang has grown taller.
[Ning Que]
[Xiling Peach Mountain]
In our lives there are three different obsessions.
Some are obsessed with following the right path,
some with calligraphy,
and some only love flowers and grasses.
The three obsessions of the world
are only the ignorant words of the secular.
Prince Long Qing doesn't need to listen to these sort of people.
To some people, Long Qing is only a layman.
Can you not go to the wilderness?
I can't.
You know it's a trap, but you insist on jumping into it anyway.
Lou Ke Di
the current Justice Department Head who is at the pinnacle of the mystery comprehension level.
Called the strongest among the young generation in Xiling.
He originally had jealousy toward Your Highness.
Once Your Highless entered Xiling, he was your enemy.
Now, Your Highness is in the good graces of the Bright Palace Hall priests
and is called the Son of Light by the people.
He will only hate you more.
I heard the Northern Wilderness has a kind of snow lotus that grows well.
I will get it for you.
Go!
General Ma.
Go!
Ning Que, you're just leaving like this.
Not even going to say goodbye?
Disrespectful.
General. Ning Que receives the order to act as a guide for the princess.
I leave today for the capital.
♫ No need to confess ♫
♫ The curtain of night has already been lifted ♫
♫ Regardless of success or failure ♫
♫ Don't fear, look at the future. ♫
You're going to be a guide.
Alright.
Do it well. Don't fool around.
Yes, sir.
♫Heaven and Earth in their splendor♫
Study well.
If... If you don't make it into the Academy, then don't come back.
Old Ma can't accept this disappointment.
I'll come back with first place.
I'll make you proud.
Get lost.
♫ The vault of heaven has opened. Quick, look. ♫
♫ Thousands of creatures are accompanying. Quick, look. ♫
Let this accompany you.
We agreed. You aren't allowed to grow old.
You're not allowed to die. Wait for me to come back and bring you honor.
Ay.
♫ Like extinguishment, like glory, ♫
When I leave you aren't allowed to cry. ♫ I've been to the oasis ♫
Leave already. Get lost.
♫ I've kissed the rivers. Spring leaves and comes. ♫
♫ I've seen the sea of clouds, ♫
Although I don't understand most of what of you say, you studied in Xiling.
♫ I've called the stars ♫
♫ Like extinguishment, like glory, ♫
♫ I've been to the oasis ♫
♫ with no border and no shore. ♫
♫ I've kissed the rivers. ♫
♫ Spring leaves and comes. ♫
Get lost!
Go bring trouble to other people!
Xiling Calvary, Zi Mo, has been ordered to accompany Your Highness to the wilderness.
Please set off now, Your Highness.
Let's go.
[Tang Nation Northern Mountain Pass]
The Princess has given orders to set up camp here.
What's wrong?
This is not a good location.
We can't rest here. We need to set off now and go by Hua Xi Road instead.
You're just a guide. What right do you have to order me around?
You have to listen to me on this!
Loser.
Great Priest, I have completed the task you assigned to me. [Xiling Justice Department]
Long Qing will definitely not return from his journey to the wilderness.
I'll let you handle him.
How about the other matter?
Priest Wu Ming is still at Mount Tao.
I do not dare to act rashly.
Useless thing!
Our Justice Department is in charge of the Xiling Calvary,
the Black-clothed Executors and the Spies, which add up to tens of millions of people.
Why should we be afraid of a mere Wu Ming?
Wu Ming has to die.
All the priests of Light Palace Hall must die.
I want the Light Palace Hall to disappear forever.
Grand Priest, the 3 Departments of Xiling has existed since the ancient times.
Furthermore, the Light Palace Hall has strong foundations. If we want to eradicate them,
it'll be extremely difficult.
Wei Guangming has been in the Serene Pavilion for 15 years.
He is clearly the sinner of the Heavenly God, yet he has the support of the people.
Why?
Our Justice Department represents the will of the Heavenly God
and eradicates heresy.
Yet we're despised and spurned by the people. Why is this so?
If our plot fails and we're exposed, how will we justify ourselves to the world?
The Shrine Leader will punish us as well.
Remember this.
The winner will be the ruler.
In this battle, whoever wins shall represent the light.
Your subordinate understands.
General Xia Hou, how have you been?
Advisor Chen Meng, it has been awhile.
Since General has already arrived in the capital, why didn't you give me a visit?
Advisor has invited me so sincerely, how could I refuse?
Sang Sang, let's go.
Go?
This is the entrance of the North Entrance, it is not safe to stop here.
If we press forward more, the enemy can destroy us with just a group of horse soldiers.
-Then why don't you go tell them? -I told them already.
They won't listen.
All losers.
Will horseback bandits really come?
We have been at Mount Min for so many years, my intuition has never been wrong.
This loser has lived on the plains for two years, and still hasn't learned.
I really have no idea where she came from.
But if we just leave like this, what's going to happen when they chase after us?
You are the guide that General Ma sent.
Sang Sang, you must always remember this.
For us to live is not easy, not easy at all.
We have to give it all we've got in order to survive in this world.
Only if we persevere through adversity can we live.
We cannot die so easily.
Wait a minute.
Where are the two of you going?
You're not thinking of deserting, are you?
You're just a maidservant. What right do you have to ask us about where we're headed?
You really are just a hoodlum.
Surprise attack!

It's your turn, State Minister.
Attack!
Kill!
Mother!
Xiao Man!
-You want to die?! Whatevers! Move aside!
Xiao Man!
Don't move if you want to live.
Xiao Man is inside the carriage.
Young Master!
Xiao Man.
General is so resolute in your tasks.
But if you want to break through the guards, it will not be easy.
Young Master!
Lu Qingchen.
General indeed has great sense.
He gave up his sword to cultivate mindfulness and even managed to attain the upper level of mystery comprehension.
Could it be that this journey to the plains has some sort of adventure to it?
Junior Brother Lu has been with the Princess in the north for the past 2 years.
He will naturally see new sceneries on the grasslands and progress in his comprehension.
The only thing out of my expectations is that this pawn of the general is actually a disciple of the Academy.
An old disciple of the Academy actually joined the Demon Sect.
Demon Sect.
You are one of the Academy, but you're using the methods of the Demon Sect?
Don't you fear the wrath of heaven?
If one is righteous, why must one fear the Demon Sect?
If I have sunken into evil, then let me sink into Hell, never to return.
The road of the Demon Sect is unlike that of the other sects.
They absorb nascent energy into their body by force, intersecting with the heaven and earth.
The human body is like an ant.
There is only one result of absorbing nascent energy into the body by force.
Death as the body explodes.
Princess! Immediately leave this place!
Xiao Man, hurry.
Hurry, Xiao Man.
Sang Sang! Open the umbrella!
Who is it?
Excuse me for offending you.
If you didn't put so much concentration into this match of chess,
I wouldn't have had the chance to take advantage of you.
I'll take my leave.
Great Master Lu!
Great Master Lu, are you okay?
I'm fine.
-Are you okay? -Princess, nothing to worry about.
I'm not injured.
Then let's leave this place immediately.
Master, are you okay?
Someone has changed the state of play in this "chess game."
Could it be someone sent by the king?
This person doesn't cultivate.
I can't accurately perceive it.
But this person is not all that simple.
The princess is trying to return home. What if . . . [Disciple of Heavenly Dao South Faction, He Mingchi]
Ming Chi, remember this.
Our Heavenly Dao South Faction, although we belong to a branch of Xiling,
we also belong to the Southern Gate of Tang Nation.
We follow His Majesty's wishes.
In those power struggles in the court,
those struggles over the throne, our Southern Gate never participates.
Your disciple understands.
This person's identity and position is not yet known.
Just that his arrival with cause a great storm
in the capital.
Young Master, have some soup.
It's still hot.
Thank you for your help earlier.
May I ask from whom you gained your ability to fight?
The ability to fight is naturally learned when one is fighting.
Judging by your age, is it possible that you've killed more people than we have?
To a border soldier, the biggest reward is to kill bandits.
We call this chopping firewood.
Boxwood bow? Three horse-cutter swords?
Then he must be that . . .
Shubi Woodcutter.
