[Legend of Fuyao]
[Episode 9]
What are you doing?
Let go of me!
Does that count as something strange?
Thank you.
Hey.
Someone really is approaching us.
Who would still believe you?
Fu Yao!
Seven?
Seven!
Fu Yao!
Fu Yao! Are you all right?
I'm fine. I'm such a lucky person, what could go wrong?
That's great! I finally get to see you!
Your Highness.
I saved him that day too.
You protected him very well.
He's fine but he needs to recuperate.
There's no one to assist Zong Yue so I had him sent somewhere safe.
He only got to come see you today.
Thank you, Your Highness.
All right, you've seen who you should see
and you've done what you should do.
Now, it's time to part.
If you go west from here, there's Tiansha Kingdom.
To the east, it's the capital.
It's up to you to decide where to go.
I'd like to go to the capital.
Seven, will you join me?
Whatever you'd like!
I'll follow you wherever you go!
Your Highness, are you coming with us?
No, thank you.
I have some important matters to handle.
Besides, you won't be safe if you come with me.
You're right.
I'll remember how much you helped me these past few days.
Someday, when there's a chance, I'll repay your kindness.
Don't worry.
Even if you forget it, I'll come asking.
Once you set out from here
you'll encounter new experiences and perils.
That's probably the freedom you seek.
But I must remind you that freedom never comes easily.
It will be a rocky path.
There is no smooth path in the world.
Your Highness, take care.
Likewise.
Fu Yao...
What's on your mind?
I came to Mount Xuanyuan when I was six years old.
Now... it's been over 12 years.
No one knows better than I do about the plants that grow here.
You're right.
We're finally leaving.
Why do I feel like crying?
Who doesn't?
However...
it's such a great, big world out there.
We have to go and look around.
It's just a pity that Uncle Zhou can't come with us.
Fu Yao... I miss him so much.
Uncle Zhou sacrificed too much for us.
So we have to live our lives well, along with his.
Uncle Zhou!
We'll definitely stay alive and well!
Uncle Zhou!
We'll definitely stay alive and well!
Uncle Zhou, rest in peace!
Uncle Zhou!
Rest in peace!
Uncle Zhou... rest in peace.
His Highness is so thoughtful.
Not only did he get us horses, but he also gave us so much money.
Remember. We must repay whatever kindness we receive.
Elder Statesman Qi, you sent me a letter.
Now, I'm aware of the situation.
As you promised, you'll offer the neighboring Mount Changhan
in exchange for Tiansha Kingdom's Englobement Bell.
[King of Tiansha, Zhan Nan Cheng]
Our royal court finds it highly inappropriate.
Mount Changhan has always been the gray area between Tiansha and Taiyuan.
It's been fragmented and co-governed by both kingdoms.
You're asking to exchange a co-governed territory
for Tiansha's ultimate national treasure.
The royal Zhan family won't allow it.
Nor will the people of Tiansha.
It's against the Alliance of the Five Kingdoms.
Considering the friendly terms both kingdoms have been on for years
and that you've worked unceasingly and diligently
I'm willing to lend you the Englobement Bell for personal use.
To honor a noble man.
Of course, once I've lent you the bell
Mount Changhan will rightfully belong to the Tiansha Kingdom.
It's said that the new King of Tiansha
Zhan Nan Cheng, has lost his ambition for seeking pleasure
and is dissolute in conduct.
Yet in every word he wrote
he's unwilling to even compromise.
It's obvious that he'll take a yard if you give him an inch.
Borrowing the Englobement Bell at the cost
of Mount Changhan's thousands of miles of land?
He dared to ask for that?
I have a favor to ask of him!
Without the Englobement Bell
I won't be able to cast the spell that Lady Fei Yan taught me.
Godfather, you...
I'll agree to it.
If I can't sit on the throne
what good is Mount Changhan to me?
Once I'm king, it's only a matter of time before I take back our land.
Yes.
Now I'm wondering who Tiansha Kingdom will send to escort the Englobement Bell.
[Pan City, Tiansha Kingdom]
Prince Lie of Tiansha has arrived!
[Prince Lie, Zhan Bei Ye]
We're returning to the capital tomorrow.
Keep an eye out for traces of Xuanyuan Min along the way.
Don't worry, Godfather.
I've sent out 300 scouts.
Should they have any news of the prince
they will inform the capital immediately.
That's all we can do now.
Godfather, I heard that the king's illness has grown worse.
He hasn't eaten for three days.
If there's still no news of the prince...
Godfather, do you intend to--
The king must not die before I have the power to manipulate water.
So I'll need one other person to assist me.
Destroy all of these!
My master brought this Juqian Weed back from Mount South!
- Who cares! - How can you wreck it all?
Why are you so unreasonable?
Don't destroy everything!
Break everything!
- Stop it! - Get lost!
Stop it!
Please stop it!
- Qing Feng. - Doctor.
Leave them be.
The dogs take after their master.
We shouldn't stoop to their ourselves.
Who are you calling a dog?
- I dare you to say it again! - How insolent!
Who said that?
Ignorant servants!
How dare you harass the Divine Physician!
Elder Statesman!
How outstanding you are.
Drag them out to be caned 20 times each.
- Yes. - Please spare us!
We didn't mean to pick a fight.
My young mistress has asked Doctor Zong over several times
but he keeps turning her down!
We're worried about her injuries, so we resorted to this.
Doctor, please halt!
Drag them out of here.
Take them away.
Move it!
Hurry up! Go!
Elder Statesman Qi, please come in.
Excuse me for disturbing you.
I wonder if you also blame me
for not treating the commandery princess?
I've heard that you treat patients according to your preferences.
Yuan must have offended you in some way and annoyed you.
It's just her luck.
Please have some tea.
If I wanted to poison you
you'd have died the moment you stepped in here.
Why would I let my newly roasted Snowtop White Tea go to waste?
Doctor, you're overthinking.
The tea is great.
Since you're not here for the commandery princess
I wonder what brings you over?
While traveling across the five kingdoms, I've met many famous doctors.
But you're the first one with such excellent skills.
You're a renowned doctor but you reside only in the mountains
and travel in the countryside.
It's such a pity.
A pity?
I don't think so.
Although life on the mountain isn't a life of abundance
it's enough for me to feed myself.
Compared to wealth, I prefer to be free and to do as I wish.
Indeed, there's a refined pleasure in living in the countryside.
But a doctor practices medicine to save lives.
If you live out here on the mountain all your life
studying medical skills and pharmacology diligently
without having a chance to put yourself to any use
wouldn't that be such a pity?
Oh?
Could you come with me to the capital?
The capital, Kunning is the most affluent city in the five kingdoms.
Not to mention that various tribes reside in the capital
so there are many unique and amazing gadgets.
Just in the palace of Taiyuan alone
there are tributes of different rare medicinal herbs
that are far more precious than the wild herbs of Mount Xuanyuan.
Elder Statesman Qi, do you mean...
all the medicinal herbs in the palace would be mine to use as I please?
Manage the Royal Academy of Medicine for me.
Apart from the medicinal herbs in the palace
I'll send my men to search across the five kingdoms
for any medicine you ask for.
Elder Statesman Qi, you did come here well prepared.
I sincerely wish that you'll join me.
If you can abide by three rules of mine
I can go to the capital with you.
I'm all ears.
First, I'm not fond of noises.
I don't like to socialize.
When I'm at the capital, I won't attend any social events.
Don't worry about that, Doctor.
Second, I'm picky about the people I employ.
All guards and servants attending to me must be my picks.
If you have any doubts about it, the deal is off.
Doctor, please do as you please.
Third, I practice medicine, but I also take lives.
If you want to make me a hypocrite by labeling me a benevolent doctor
or a false samaritan
I'm afraid I won't comply.
Doctor, hearing what you just said
I see that we share some similarities.
Forget three conditions
I'd even agree to another three or five conditions if you list them.
That's good to know.
Grand Mentor, Di Fei Tian.
Once I make her my servant, everything will be as easy as pie.
When she lifts the five-tier spell
our mission will be accomplished.
Fu Yao, the path seems to be getting narrower up ahead.
Is the path coming to a dead end?
The capital is on the west.
We'll just follow the direction of the sunset so we won't get lost.
But why is it so cold here?
Look, it's clearly summer, but it's so cold.
Listen, even the birds chirp in a frightening way.
Why didn't I realize before that you were such a scaredy cat?
I'm not! It really is scary!
If I had known, we could've taken the brighter and wider path.
It's better to be captured by Elder Statesman's men than monsters.
Don't spout nonsense.
What is that?
Do you hear a child crying?
It can't be, can it?
Could it be wildcats?
It sounds more or less like them.
Hold on to my horse.
- I'll take a look. - What are you doing?
Don't! Fu Yao, don't go!
Stay right here.
I'm scared.
Hold on to the horses and wait right here.
Who is it?
Show yourself!
My servant...
Who is it? Show yourself!
My servant...
Be my servant.
Strip off your mortal form.
Leave this miserable world behind.
Why won't you come to me?
Dear child...
you must've had such a hard time.
Let me look after you.
Never again will you suffer or be troubled.
I'll point out the right path for you.
As long as you surrender yourself to me.
Who are you?
What do you want?
Uncle Zhou!
Fu Yao!
The guests have arrived!
Get back to work quickly!
This isn't right...
You're not Uncle Zhou.
Fu Yao...
Senior Yan?
You're the only one I care about.
Why?
Why won't you come to me?
Silly girl.
I told you this was a perilous path.
Come here.
I'll lead you out of here.
Didn't we just--
I was worried about you so I turned around to look for you.
Look.
There's evil lurking in this bamboo forest.
Let's leave.
My horse is right over there.
Just now...
You already left.
Silly girl.
Just take one more step forward and you can get out of this illusion.
- Come here. - Come.
Come with Uncle Zhou.
Fu Yao.
- I'll get you out of here. - Come!
You're the only one I care about.
Come here. Why don't you come to me?
This isn't real!
- Come over here. - Come.
None of you are real!
Fu Yao!
Fu Yao, are you all right?
Young Mistress.
Young Mistress, Young Master Yan is here to visit you.
Just a moment.
Don't come in here!
Senior Yan, you...
Just stand far away from me.
Junior Pei, how have you been?
My father asked me to come visit you.
If Mentor didn't make you...
would you have not come?
Why would you say that?
I'm in this state now...
I'm afraid that you're not at all pleased about it.
It's my duty to look after you.
Why would I be displeased?
What you just said...
Is that really what you think?
Don't get all sensitive.
You should nurse yourself to health.
I'll visit you another day.
Hold on!
Sooner or later...
we'll have to face each other.
Are we to...
place a screen between us for life?
Unless you...
you're not at all willing to marry me.
Don't overthink.
Senior Yan...
Are you willing to look at me?
It's all right, Junior Pei.
Why force yourself?
I don't care about such matters.
Really?
Or is it because you don't care about how I look?
Why would you even talk that way?
Yes...
Yes, I was wrong to say that.
Senior Yan, I...
I shouldn't say things like that.
Senior Yan.
Senior Yan, you probably don't know about it yet
but my uncle has sent his men to my family to arrange the wedding.
Our manor will be located in the district of the Royal Bureau of Defense.
And...
My uncle said that there are vacant positions at the capital lately.
He's keeping them on the side so that it won't be filled by a replacement.
Once we return to the capital, you can pick anything you like.
Sure.
Whatever is fine by me.
I'm afraid... now that I'm in such a state, nothing is fine for you.
You must be tired.
Get some rest.
Tomorrow...
We'll set out together.
Senior Yan!
Young Mistress.
Senior Yan still does like me after all.
Doesn't he?
Of course he does.
Otherwise... otherwise, Young Master Yan wouldn't be marrying you at the capital.
Is that right?
Is he really willing to marry me?
I'm afraid...
that he doesn't dare to not marry me!
Young Mistress!
Will this heal?
It will heal, right? Right?
Will it heal? It will, won't it?
Yes, Young Mistress!
That wench, Fu Yao!
You've ruined me!
Sooner or later, I will destroy you!
I waited out there for a long time but you didn't return
so I got scared.
So I grit my teeth and walked right into the woods.
But after I went in, I realized it wasn't scary.
It was just...
I kept calling out to you but you never answered.
So I got scared again.
Luckily, I ran into them.
Then I heard from them that there's miasmic fog in these woods.
You mean... I had those illusions because of the miasmic fog?
That's what they all said.
No wonder...
Young lady.
General Ji.
[Prince Lie's subordinate, Ji Yu] If you hadn't run into our general today
I'm afraid you'd have died in the bamboo forest by now.
You must be hungry. Here.
Thank you!
Our general said that there's evil lurking in these woods.
You seem pitiful so you and your brother can travel with us for a few days.
Let's find our way out of the bamboo forest first.
Fu Yao.
Hey.
Who is your general?
As for that... you don't need to know.
Our general has an important task to tend to.
He shouldn't be meddling in such a matter.
If it hadn't been such an urgent situation...
Forget it.
It's fine as long as you're grateful.
Don't cause us any trouble.
Thank you.
- Eat up. - Thank you, General Ji.
General Ji is quite nice.
But that coffin face...
Luckily, he saved me today.
I think his surname is Zhan.
Who told you that?
If my guess is correct
he should be a member of Tiansha Kingdom's royal family.
He might even be a prince!
We left Mount Xuanyuan not long ago
but you've already learned to spout gibberish?
I didn't-- It's not gibberish.
Look.
Look at that bell strapped to his waist.
A grown man wearing a bell is quite funny.
That's the Englobement Bell.
It's the national treasure of the Tiansha Kingdom.
Only the royal family can wear it.
What is it?
Is that bell really valuable?
It isn't a matter of value.
It's said that the bell can fend off and disperse evil spirits.
I think the bell is the reason
they aren't afraid of the strange sights in the woods.
How do you know about all that?
I...
Before you and Uncle Zhou adopted me
I did spend some time with my grandfather in the pugilist world.
You were only about this tall when we adopted you.
How could you have wandered the pugilist world?
What are you doing?
Are you just spouting nonsense?
Fu Yao, I won't say another word! I was wrong!
Stop pulling on my ears! Ouch!
Whether you believe it is up to you.
What are you doing?
I'm going to take a dump!
Just do it here.
[Xuanyuan Manor] Chief Yan, congratulations!
Congratulations, Chief Yan!
I'll see you off here. Please.
We take our leave.
Why do you look so sullen?
I have to set out to the capital tomorrow, for the wedding.
I think that...
At this point, you're not allowed to think otherwise.
However unwilling you might be, you have to pretend that you're willing.
Yes.
You're the future master of Mount Xuanyuan.
You must put general interests above all else.
This marriage is a way to develop your career at the capital.
As your father, this is the best option I can think of for you.
I understand.
Bear this in mind.
You're the hope of the Yan family.
Only by standing on my shoulders can you see and progress further.
Yes.
Did you keep that Soul-splitting Powder I gave you?
That's what you gave me to drug Fu Yao--
Keep it with you.
I know that you don't like Pei Yuan.
Especially since she's disfigured.
She used to be just a bit willful but now she's ruthlessly vengeful.
I know that it's tough on you, marrying such a woman.
But you must bear with it.
You have to put up with her till the time is ripe.
Tolerate her till she's no longer of any use to you.
Father.
Relationships are just a way to make use of one another.
You're marrying her for her family's political influence.
Once you've secured your position at the capital
judging by Pei Yuan's personality
she will only do you more harm than good.
Then, the Soul-splitting Powder will come in handy.
Father, are you telling me to---
Just keep one matter in mind.
You must act cautiously.
Once you use that powder, you must find a scapegoat.
If they don't suspect you of killing her
her death will win you everyone's sympathy.
Such sympathy will bring you even more opportunity.
No.
Father, even if I'm not fond of her
I still can't do that.
Benevolence will get you nowhere.
Forget it.
We'll need to discuss this matter in length.
You set out tomorrow.
Enough said.
Bear my words in mind.
Yes.
Young Mistress, I brought you your cape.
Young Mistress, what's wrong?
Are you ill?
Your hands are shaking.
Young Mistress!
Young Mistress, are you all right?
Mother, has the water gone cold?
It isn't cold.
I'll ask them to bring you more petals.
[Grand Consort Jing] It's fine.
Bei Ye, I'd like to hear you sing.
The quiet moor, the majestic rivers and oceans...
My son has gone off to somewhere unknown...
The lush Mount Cang, the bright sun.
My son has yet to return, I do not know when...
Damn.
Wake up.
Wake up!
What's the matter?
Hand it over.
Hand what over?
The Englobement Bell.
The Englobement Bell?
Is that thing really called the Englobement Bell?
So you do know what it is.
It seems I wasn't wrong about you.
If you hand the bell over now, I can let you go free.
What is it?
Have you lost your bell?
How dare you deny it after stealing from me?
Aren't you quite bold?
You claimed that I stole from you.
Why would I still be sleeping here then?
Wouldn't that be too bold?
Is there any thief who's that dumb?
I don't know about whether or not you're stupid.
But your accomplice isn't.
He stole from me and ran away.
Where's Seven?
Seven!
Tie her up!
No one is allowed to let her go until we catch that little thief.
- Yes! - Yes!
Sir!
Have you seen a man wearing white clothes and a golden coronet?
A man in white clothes and a golden coronet?
Sir, did you see him?
Oh! I remember it now.
I think he went that way.
- Sure, thank you! - You're welcome.
Take care, officers.
Sir, two pennies for the tea.
It hurts, Young Master!
- It hurts! Ouch! - You're getting better at this.
Didn't I learn it all from you?
The act must be thorough.
How is it in Kunning?
The dome that prevents floods won't hold much longer.
I think...
The old king, Xuanyuan Ren, doesn't have long to live.
Where's Qi Zhen?
He's rushing back full speed from Mount Xuanyuan.
He's been asking about your whereabouts along the way.
It seemed like he even posted an announcement.
He's hunting a woman who fled from Mount Xuanyuan.
That little one sure is capable.
Oh, right. I have our people stationed at the capital.
We can head over there right away.
Sure, it's time to get down to business.
Your mustache looks awful.
Does it?
It isn't that bad, is it?
General, that is the capital, Kunning!
Good!
What are we to do with the young lady?
What is it?
Do you finally believe that I didn't steal your bell?
I'm just not fond of abusing women.
Aren't you worried that I'll sneak away when you're not looking?
Sure! Try that for all I care.
General, a letter.
We should speed up.
They're catching up with us.
Yes!
General, what about this young lady?
Bring her over here!
Get over there quickly.
How is the king?
I'm daft and incompetent in medical practice.
How is it going?
You're dismissed. All of you.
Master Zhang.
- Master Zhang. - Master Zhang.
The King...
Please forgive me for my incompetence.
Has the king regained consciousness?
How much longer before Qi Zhen returns to the palace?
This...
Why can't you just say it?
I heard that Elder Statesman Qi is already back in his manor.
Since when?
Last night.
How dare he!
As an elder statesman
he didn't visit the king right away
when he's critically ill!
He has no regard for Xuanyuan's royal family!
Sir, please calm down.
I'm afraid that he might also be troubled.
He's troubled?
Can he be more troubled than I am?
I heard that it's because the heir apparent, Xuanyuan Min, is missing.
He was abducted from Mount Xuanyuan by evildoers.
His whereabouts are still unknown.
What did you say?
I also heard that Elder Statesman Qi suspects
that you sent someone to abduct the heir apparent
so you could manipulate political affairs
and refuse to hand over authority to the new heir.
What nonsense.
That's an unfounded accusation!
