"The Laugh of Peach Blossoms" by Rio Wang
♫ The moon in my hand laughs to it's heart content ♫
♫ The cloud in front of me goes to bed early ♫
♫ Spring breeze can't blow down my skinny waist ♫
♫ I’m bouncing and vivacious in the Peach Blossom Spring ♫
♫ Youngster, you shall not have the heart to return too early ♫
♫ Swallows also fly here in pairs ♫
♫ Peaches have died prematurely, and Japanese bananas also stay green ♫
♫ Who cares if it rains and wind blows in a howling and pounding night ♫
♫ Even if a flower bursts with fresh red color, it still will wither ♫
♫ The heart of a youngster will never turn old ♫
♫ Everyone heard, both young and old, ♫
♫ That I want to row the boat in the water ♫
♫ Willow catkins drift, drift beyond the corner of the sky ♫
♫ Have you ever seen turmoil in the mortal world? ♫
♫ Come back to chat with peach blossoms ♫

[ I Will Never Let You Go ]
[ Episode 1 ]
[Xue Manor]
Let's go.
Are you all right?
Hurry up. Let's leave through the backyard.
[Xue Manor]
Leave quickly.
Giddy-up!
- Hurry up. Are you all right? - I'm fine.
Giddy-up!
- I'm about to give birth. - Hold on.
Hurry up. Let's go. They have caught up to us.
Fei'er!
Fei'er.
Hold on.
Don't make a sound.
- Let's go. - Let's go. Hurry.
Fei'er!
Hold on.
Fei'er! Fei'er!
It's a daughter.
Older Brother,
let me hold her.
Here.
Be gentle. Be gentle.
Fei'er, everything is fine.
Everything is fine.
Fei'er! Fei'er!
What are you doing, Fei'er?
Strangle her.
She must not stay alive. Brother,
let's throttle her right now.
She is your daughter!
She is a creature that will attract evil!
If we let her stay alive,
she would only be fought over, used by others
her whole life just like me.
What's the point for her to stay alive? It's better for her to just die now.
It's better for her to just die now!
Fei'er.
I won't let you two die. I won't give up.
They have caught up to us. Older Brother, you take the child and leave immediately.
Hurry up and leave!
- There is nothing here. - Nothing here.
Nothing.
Go chase them.
You must find the child and bring her back to me.
- Hurry up and go. - Yes, sir.
Xue Fei,
is it worth the trouble?
I already don't care about your having an affair with someone else.
I even willingly married you as my secondary wife into my royal manor.
Why can't you just stay with me truthfully?
Your motive for getting close to me
was merely for Biluotian (literally: dark green luminous sky).
When have you ever treated me with sincere feelings?
The misunderstandings between us are too deep.
Take her away.
Prince.
Don't worry, Prince. The bloodline of the Saintess will surely not be terminated.
What Xue Fei gave birth to is surely a girl.
We only have that gleam of hope.
We must find that child.
The ones in the back, catch up!
- Giddy-up. Giddy-up. - Giddy-up.
Be nice. Don't cry. I won't leave you behind. Be good.
After sidestepping them,
we'll live incognito so no one will be able to find us.
♫ The mice in the governmental granary are super big ♫
♫ They won't leave even if they see people opening its door ♫
♫ Soldiers have no food ♫
- Sir, please give me some money. ♫ and the citizens ♫
- Sir. ♫ are in hunger ♫
- Thank you. ♫ Turning into beggars and received a lot of benevolence ♫
Follow them.
Stop.
What's going on, Sirs?
What's going on? Do you two understand the rules?
You actually dare to beg in our territory. Is that right?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. If we have offended you,
please forgive us. We'll leave immediately.
What? You want to leave!
No way. Give me the money.
Big Brother, please have mercy on us. We haven't eaten for three days.
We have only gotten a little by begging with great difficulty.
When we were on that street earlier,
you sing for a living and have attracted so many people. You have earned so much.
Why do you still say you have none? Bring it over.
Buqi, give the money to them.
No way. This is my money.
This girl! Give me the money!
Do you give or not?
You're beating people, is that it?
Uncle Jiu, are you all right?
- Buqi. - Beat him up to death. - Don't beat him anymore.
Don't beat him anymore.
Beat him!
- I beg you no to beat him up anymore. Won't it do if I just give you the money? - Hit him!
Quickly flee!
Buqi, let's leave quickly.
Let's go.
Uncle Jiu, are you all right?
I'm all right.
Ah Huang. (yellow)
Come here.
Uncle Jiu, it's all my fault. I should have given them the money.
Buqi, you must remember from now on that money is mere worldly possessions. You must let go when it's time to do so.
We can still beg for more later on if we lose a few pieces of coins,
but we only have one life. Do you understand?
I got it. Are you all right, Uncle Jiu?
I'm fine. They are all superficial wounds. They'll heal up after a few days of rest.
It's just that we can no longer go begging here.
Then, we'll go somewhere else. There will eventually be a place where we can beg.
Buqi, it has been hard for you
to beg with me.
It's not hard. It's not hard at all.
No other kids have gone to places more than where I have been.
Uncle Jiu, thanks to that big yellow dog for saving us today.
Can we raise it?
She counts as our savior.
Let her follow us from now on.
That's great!
I'll call you Ah Huang. From now on, we'll be a family!
Uncle Jiu, eat some buns.
Uncle Jiu, from now on when we beg,
let's save some money every day to do business!
No, you can't do business.
Why not?
You don't need to know why, just listen to me.
The fewer people know about you the better. Your face must be dirty when you are outside.
You cannot associate with many people, nor can you do business. Got it?
Then won't we have to beg forever? I don't want to be a beggar for life!
Buqi.
I owe others so much money that I can't ever pay it back, so I can only hide.
Nor can others know who I am.
I dragged you down.
Uncle Jiu, don't say that. If you didn't take me in,
I would have starved a long time ago!
Uncle Jiu, don't worry! I won't do business anymore.
In the future, I'll beg with you forever!
Uncle Jiu, eat. I've had some already.
I'm going to give Ah Huang a bath.
Buqi! Be careful when outside.
Don't associate with too many people.
Got it!
Ah Huang!
Come on!
Ah Huang, come on! Hurry!
Ah Huang, what sort of debt can't ever be repaid?
Uncle Jiu looks so scholarly.
He doesn't seem like someone who would owe debts!
Could it be a lover's debt?
Do I resemble Uncle Jiu?
I can't be his daughter, can I?
No wonder I have to look dirty, so others won't recognize me!
It must be!
I really have to beg forever? Perhaps, after people have searched for Uncle Jiu for so long,
they already stopped looking!
No, I must still secretly make money!
I'll cover my face to earn money!
No one will recognize me!
Ah Huang, don't you think so?
Ah Huang, you think I'm right, too? Then it's settled!
From now on, I'll cover my face to earn money!
Candied fruits!
- Xiao Hua! - What?
When will the sorghum wine from the Li Winery in the west side of the prefecture be sent here?
Don't worry, I guarantee it'll be delivered this afternoon!
Okay!
Sister Xiao Hua!
Sister Xiao Hua, here are today's old clothes!
So many?
Don't tell me you got beaten again
for spilling ink on someone.
How could I? I'm good now!
My brothers and I watch the rich people's houses every day!
Every time they throw out their clothes, I grab them immediately!
Not bad! Here!
Have you seen this person before?
No.
- Come take a look! - Let's go.
Move aside.
Rock, paper, scissors!
- Big Sister Xiao Hua! - Big Sister Xiao Hua!
Here.
Thank you, Sister Xiao Hua!
Xiao Hua, you've come?
Granny!
This is the money for the clothes from last time.
Just do the same thing as last time.
Please wash, alter these a bit, and I'll go sell them!
It's not troublesome as long as there is money to be earned!
Xiao Hua, you have so many ideas!
Who knew when the sleeves of these clothes are put on other clothes,
so many people would want to buy them?
Right? Isn't it pretty?
Are you going to the western side of the prefecture today?
Yes, my Uncle Jiu's cough is getting worse!
It was so bad he couldn't even get up this morning!
I have to hurry and earn enough money to cure him!
I have to remember to transport Old Liu's liquor back and also a bag of rice.
The prices have a two cent difference between the eastern and western side of the prefecture.
If I bring them back, I can earn a lot!
Slow down!
I'm going!
Move aside! Move aside!
If you like what I said, give me an applause. If you don't like what I said, forgive me.
Good! Good!
Let's cut the nonsense and continue from the last part.
"The Hero Lotus Robed Knight." Recap from last time,
the hero blocked a bunch of bandits on the street.
There were over a hundred bandits!
Every single one of them was big, strong,
and carrying a shiny broadsword. They were yelling and eager to attack.
But who is the hero Lotus Robed Knight?
How could he fear them? Before long,
the hero's left hand was already holding a crossbow
and his right-hand dug into his arrow bag and grabbed ten long arrows,
set the arrows into his crossbow, and started shooting.
Ten arrows shot at the same time. And in an instant, all the bandits fell to the ground.
Good!
Good! Good!
Ten arrows being shot at the same time.
This man sure knows how to talk nonsense.
What nonsense? Our hero Lotus Robe Knight is that amazing!
He upholds justice and protects the weak!
It's easy for him to shoot ten arrows at the same time.
Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean others can't.
Just looking at you, you must be a rich playboy!
You're not a good person!
Just listen to the storyteller from now on. Don't talk nonsense!
Move aside!
- As soon as he shuts up, you hear "Ceng!" - Good!
It turns out in their eyes, Lotus Robe Knight
has already become a hero that can do anything!
Let's go. Let's put down our things in the inn first
and then go to Yaoling (Effective Medicine) Manor to get the medicine.
Yes.
There's no need.
I secretly came here to Xizhou Prefecture because I don't want other people to know.
Understand?
We understand.
I don't like how Royal Father is looking for an illegitimate daughter. So,
don't let me see this painting anymore; or else,
I'll break your legs!
- Yes. - Yes.
You see Zhu Xun did a ...
Candied fruits!
Whoa!
Come and take a look!
Move aside.
Customers, please come inside.
You with the horse, come in!
A room for two! Sirs, please follow me to the second floor.
Sirs, please come inside. This is your room.
This, Sir...
- Okay. - Thank you.
Young Master, before we came here, the Prince also asked you to help find his illegitimate daughter. (Prince here pertains to a sibling of the emperor)
Why did you tell the guards those words just now?
I didn't agree, nor will I agree.
Since Father has secretly looked for his illegitimate daughter for so many years,
he should know
who was the reason for the death of Mother because of sadness?
Now, he wants me to help him find his illegitimate daughter?
Even if I really saw her,
I wouldn't bring her back!
Prince's health condition has always been poor, and he has been coughing all night lately.
Even the royal physicians don't know what to do.
You came here this time because you were worried about his body, so you wanted to get medicine for him.
Perhaps... it is just a psychological disease.
If you bring her back, it will be more useful than medicine.
Please.
You two wait.
There is one more thing. Teacher received news
that a person has appeared here who may be Xue Fei's daughter.
Just now on the street, I saw the royal manor guards searching for someone.
You two follow those guards closely.
Send other people to search, too.
Once you find that woman, kill her.
Yes.
Take care.
Come again next time.
Thanks to you, we got all the medicine we wanted.
Yaoling Manor is indeed the best pharmacy in Xizhou.
You are too courteous. This medicine is very valuable, be careful on the road.
If you need any other medicine from me in the future,
just go ahead and ask.
Of course!
Master Lin, farewell.
- Farewell. - Let's go!
Take a look!
It seems like there will be something fun!
Shi, I'm going out.
Where are you going?
Shooting ten arrows at the same time.
These are just normal herbs! They're not valuable!
Go die!
Lotus Robe Knight?
Who are you? You dare steal carts passing an official road?
If you stop now, I can spare you.
Brothers! What are you afraid of?
He's alone! Let's kill him before we steal!
Hurry and go! Go!
Brothers! The few of you,
go after them!
Giddy up!
Move aside! Move aside!
Hurry and move aside!
My wine! My rice!
Kill him!
Lotus Robe Knight?
It really is Lotus Robe Knight!
Then the other side must be bad people!
So many people fighting one person! How shameless!
- Lotus Robe Knight has a helper! Kill her! - Me?
Am I dreaming?
Am I that beautiful?
If I knew earlier, I would have pulled off my scarf earlier!
Just now, thank you for helping me.
You are a hero, so stop mocking me!
I know I wasn't very helpful.
If I didn't throw that wine, you would have defeated them long ago!
But... what I find strange is,
your archery skills are so good! Why didn't you shoot them from the beginning?
I just wanted to protect those innocent people. I killed them in the end
because I had no choice.
You are such a good person!
This is money for that wine.
In the future when you run into dangerous situations, you should hide.
I still have things to do, I'll leave first.
Do you need something else, Miss?
That wine.... isn't worth that much money! I'll give you change!
Keep the rest as a gift of gratitude.
No! When I do business,
I don't cheat anyone. There is no need to consider my trouble. The price is the price.
Wait, I'll get you change.
Brother Lotus Robe Knight, how old are you?
You look quite young! You're not even 30 yet, right?
That's right! Where are you from?
I heard from the storyteller that you usually act near the capital!
Why are you over here today?
Stop searching.
I won't take back a gift I give.
♫ The look I'm waiting for isn't abstract ♫
♫ I am feeling your flow direction with my skin ♫
♫ I can't believe you can take away my sunshine ♫
♫ I continuously followed you and got excessive ♫
♫ Like the wind ♫
♫ When you are around, the clouds descend ♫
♫ You roll up thousand layers of waves ♫
♫ I run into it without hesitation ♫
Goodbye.
♫ Rustling as you intrude ♫
He left just like that?
♫ Like we've never been in love ♫
Am I not pretty?
Do you need to leave that fast? We haven't even talked about anything.
Brother Lotus Robe Knight!
This is bad! Those bandits came back!
Help!
I have to get new stock again.
Father told me to come here to look for his illegitimate daughter.
Her aura is similar to Xue Fei.
Especially her eyes. They are unforgettable.
Her age matches, too.
It can't be such a coincidence, that I ran into her. Right?
First Miss.
Teacher had me come to Xizhou to rob the meds bought by Feiyun (Flying Clouds) Fortress.
All the ones sent to steal were my close confidantes.
News could not have been leaked!
Then, it surely was your Yaoling's fault.
Speak! Who else here knew about this mission?
Please forgive me.
I am the only one who knew about this!
I never imagined Lotus Robe Knight would suddenly appear!
Please do not worry.
I've already sent people to say that Lotus Robe Knight
was the one who stole the medicine. The magistrate is already searching for him!
You reacted quite quickly.
The war horses of Feiyun are ill with the plague.
They really need this medicine.
Teacher told me to steal this medicine,
so they cannot treat the horses in time and suffer a great loss in their strength.
I never imagined that Lotus Robe Knight would ruin things!
It's said that Lotus Robe Knight has remarkable abilities.
Could he connect it to our Yaoling Manor?
He will certainly suspect it.
Not only Lotus Robe Knight will suspect it,
so will Feiyun.
Don't worry. My people will not leave any evidence behind.
If they want to investigate, they will certainly investigate here.
Get prepare to catch them.
To catch people in Yaoling?
Isn't that becoming enemies with them?
You have Mingyue (Bright Moon) Villa behind you. What are you afraid of?
Also, after the attempted theft,
will Feiyun buy medicines from you again?
You are correct. I thought too much.
Send some people out.
Find the woman who resembles the one in the painting.
She's about my age. Bring her to see me.
If she dares to escape, just kill her
and bring me her body.
She is...?
You don't need to know.
Just follow my order.
Understand?
I understand. I will send people out immediately.
[Apricot Forest Brings Spring Warmth] (Apricot Forest is used to describe a fine Chinese traditional doctor)
Father, how long do we have to live with it?
They haven't left yet!
If this keeps going,
our Yaoling Manor will be ruined in the hands of Mingyue.
They have such a big ego that they attempted to gobble up Feiyun.
Feiyun is one of the four biggest families after all.
I also know that this won't work in the future.
Yaoling was built with Mingyue's help.
In these years, we've done many bad things for them.
We got into it deeper.
Unless we have another strong backing;
or else, we cannot act rashly.
Then what do you intend to do?
We'll take it in stride.
She told me to investigate this woman.
Perhaps, it is another matter that people can't know about.
It's her.
Move aside!
Everyone take a look! Someone told the magistrate
that someone stole medicine right in the official road!
There were a lot of people who died!
Arrows with Lotus Robe Knight's emblem were found!
The magistrate has ordered to search the prefecture for Lotus Robe Knight!
Those who provide useful information will receive 200 taels of silver!
200 taels?
If there's an arrow with Lotus Robe Knight's emblem, then he's the one who did it?
That's right!
Perhaps, he killed those bandits to protect the medicine!
Lotus Robe Knight has always been a righteous hero! Why would he suddenly steal medicine?
That's right!
Can the magistrate say someone is guilty without investigating first?
That's right! Lotus Robe Knight is a hero! How can you capture a hero?
It's precisely because he is a hero that he must be caught! The magistrate hates heroes!
That's right!
Be quiet!
This is the magistrate's order! You dare to defy it?
Miss.
What are you doing? Stop pushing!
- She is pushing! - Why are you pushing?
Okay. Okay. Stop pushing.
- Stop pushing! - She did it!
I saw, it was her!
I can't see it!
Let's see how you will catch my Brother Lotus Robe Knight!
Move aside!
This girl is quite smart.
Xiao Hua, did you earn a lot of money again today?
Yes!
It's a shame! My Uncle Jiu won't let me do business!
I'm secretly earning money now!
If I spend some money to expand, I will definitely make more money.
I don't understand your Uncle Jiu.
You are so good at earning money, but he makes you beg!
You don't know, Granny.
When my Uncle Jiu was young, he left behind a lot of lover's debts!
He has to hide from those women!
Let me secretly tell you. On the surface, he is my Uncle Jiu.
But in reality, he's my father!
Look, I resemble him so much!
All right, I'm leaving.
I'm leaving, Granny!
It seems like I overthought it. Father has searched for his illegitimate daughter for so long.
How could I run into her?
Let's go.
Young Master, we're not going to follow her anymore?
Business first.
Go and investigate who told the magistrate that Lotus Robe Knight stole the medicine.
Perhaps, there will be clues.
Yes.
This is money for the wine.
When you run into dangerous situations in the future, you should hide.
All right!
Ah Huang! Ah Huang!
Ah Huang! Look, I brought you good food!
Uncle Jiu, I'm back!
I got pretty good results today! I got twenty coins!
I bought two bags of medicine.
I even begged the shop owner to give me a five coin discount!
That's right. A new nobleman came to town today!
He was quite generous and gave me some vegetables and meat over rice!
I ate half already. Eat the rest!
Did you secretly do business again?
Uncle Jiu, why don't you believe me?
I'm so smart.
From my experience of begging for many years,
can't I even get twenty cents per day?
If you don't believe me, once you get better,
go and ask if there is a new nobleman in town.
It's not that I don't believe you.
But we've been hiding for so many years, I am afraid you are getting careless
and accidentally let people know where we are!
Don't worry, Uncle Jiu. I remember what you said.
Careful.
All right, I'll go make the medicine.
Uncle Jiu! The God of Wealth has spoken!
Some deities probably saw that we were living so poorly,
and couldn't bear to watch us suffer,
so he threw down some money for us!
If I said Lotus Robe Knight gave it to me, would you believe me?
