[ I Will Never Let You Go ]
[ Episode 34 ]
Stop!
After getting off the dock in Dengzhou, they immediately got on the main road.
Where are those people going?
What a bunch of useless people!
They couldn't even follow one person!
Hei Feng, you go this way, and I will go that way.
If there is news, tell me immediately.
I don't believe I can't find that brat!
But if you don't have anyone protecting you,
I am worried about your safety.
In terms of martial arts, how many people can be my match?
Why do you need to worry?
What if Lady Zhu really did go look for the Lotus Robe Knight?
How dare you!
I am just worried about you.
Then cut the crap. Let's quickly divide to go after them.
Yes.
My Lord!
- My Lord! - All right, all right!
- Everyone gets some. - Thank you!
My Lord!
- You get some, too! - Waiter!
- Where should I sit? I'll sit here! - Please sit here!
Sit!
Come, please come this way.
What do you want to eat?
Waiter, bring us some good wine and half a kilo of beef.
Okay, please sit. It will be served right away.
Young Master,
if you give them money, won't they be more interested in you?
Don't worry! I've already gently refused them.
They will know what to do once they get paid.
This Longhu (Dragon-Tiger) Hotel is in the middle of the desert.
They run both a gambling den and a brothel.
The customers that come here,
after resting for a few days,
will eventually be unable to resist the temptation of gambling and beautiful women.
They will give at least a little money.
The person who opened this inn
is not a simple person!
The owner of this hotel
is a woman!
A woman?
Her name is Jin Xianyu.
That Jin Xianyu relied on these kinds of businesses
to receive news from merchants coming back and forth.
Hence, covertly, she also sells intel.
She sells intel to officials,
to local bandits,
or to bandits from other places.
She serves both sides!
Therefore, with the push and pull from many sides, this inn
was able to keep standing.
It's that amazing?
I want to meet that Jin Xianyu!
Ah Zhu, Ah Zhu, Ah Zhu, you mustn't attract her to us.
Think about it!
This desert has a bunch of bandits.
Jin Xianyu is just a woman, and she dares to monopolize the hotel business of the whole Longhu Town.
Naturally, she is also a cruel person.
Also, she likes earning stable money.
She just doesn't easily rob people.
Oh?
If you didn't like those women just now,
you surely would like someone as amazing as Jin Xianyu, right?
- I'll call her here and make her your wife! - Stop! Stop!
You cannot make that sort of a joke!
You cannot!
What is it?
You look so terrified!
I'm becoming even more curious!
What kind of divine person is this Jin Xianyu?!
Aiyo!
Jin Xianyu.
Isn't this Shou Shou?
Sister Jin, long time no see! Greetings! Greetings!
Aiyo, what a good-looking person!
Shou Shou, you are living a better life since you became a chief steward.
You are bringing such a beautiful person around with you!
He's even prettier than a woman!
- His eyes are so bright! - Sister Jin! Sister Jin!
This is my little sister.
Don't... Don't ask anymore.
I was just joking around!
Why treat it as real?
You were so strong!
My hand is so weak.
How can it take such a strong grip?
Sister Jin! I'm so sorry.
All right, I won't blame you!
- Shou Shou, did you come to see me? - Yes. Yes.
- Yes, yes, Sister Jin. - You did?
Our profit is thin,
so don't you gamble here.
Don't worry!
We are going to Xichu Province tomorrow! We are only staying for one night.
We definitely will not gamble!
- We won't. We won't. - All right.
Then eat and drink well.
I won't stay with you anymore.
Xiao Liuzi!
- Sister Jin. - Add a flask of good wine for these two
and arrange for two high quality rooms.
All right, no problem.
It's free!
I'll go do it right now.
- Thank you, Sister Jin! - Thank you, Sister Jin!
My goodness!
This Jin Xianyu is amazing!
She could tell I was a woman with just one look!
- Shou Shou!! - Enough! Enough!
Have you won a lot of money from her before,
that's why, she's afraid you'll go gamble?
What are you saying?
If I start playing, when did I lose?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
All right, cut it out. Hurry and eat.
Let's rest after eating. We mustn't show ourselves too often.
We will set out tomorrow morning.
Okay!
That was terrifying! My goodness!
Aiyo, Sir, you came in so late. You probably want to stay for the night, right?
Arrange a high quality room for me.
What a coincidence. The high quality rooms are full today.
With you, even if they are full, I will arrange one for you.
Young Lord, come with me.
Boss Lady.
Have you seen these two people recently?
Aiyo! What a pretty lady!
I haven't seen her.
If you can't find her,
we have some girls here.
Young Lord, you can...
There's no need!
If you haven't seen her, then forget it.
Bring me to my room.
- Okay! - I want to rest.
Young Lord, come with me.
Who's there?
It gets lonely at night.
Young Lord, do you need a girl to accompany you?
Ah! Sister Jin, please come in.
Young Lord, do you need one?
Oh, jeez, Sister Jin,
you're talking too loudly. The whole hotel can hear you.
How can I appear in front of my little sister tomorrow?
It's all being said for others to hear!
In order to avoid others' suspicions, I came to knock in the middle of the night.
I also knocked at every room.
What is the matter?
It was not my right to interfere,
but since we have known each other for so long,
that's why I kindly came to tell you this.
A young man came to the inn just now.
He is quite handsome.
He is dressed like a rich Young Lord.
It seems like he is looking for someone.
Then... Then what?
Then...
Oh!
Sister Jin.
He was asking about you and a young lady.
That girl looks a lot like your little sister.
He told me to keep an eye out.
He even gave me 5,000 taels silver!
Sister Jin!
Please accept my gift.
It's not much.
Please accept it.
Shou Shou!
Now that you are a chief steward, things are different! You are so generous!
Shou Shou,
you are spending so much money for that girl.
Could it be... she is your little wife?
Trying to elope?
Sister Jin! Sister Jin!
Let me tell you. My grudges with that young man,
it's better if you don't know about them.
Sister Jin, as far as I know,
in your inn, there is an escape route. Right?
Please help me.
Since I took your money, of course I have to help you.
Go and wake up your little sister.
Then please come with me.
Okay!
Slow down.
You slow down.
So annoying.
Why is that Dongfang Shi so like a stalker? I just can't get rid of him.
Why isn't he going to the capital?
Don't tell me that he didn't buy Xiao Xia's trick?
Sister Jin.
Take it easy.
Zhu Shou, pull me up!
Come. Come. Come.
You guys should leave now. They can't catch up with you.
Sister Jin,
thank you so much for this. Let's go.
Let's go.
Go. Go.
Go tell Third Master and say there are two fat targets coming his way.
They are friends,
so don't be so rough on them.
Yes.
Shou Shou,
who told you to win several hundreds of thousands of taels from me?
I never do money-losing business.
Today, I'm getting it all back.
Miss,
don't fall asleep.
It's easy to fall that way.
Zhu Shou,
how soon can we get to the next hotel?
We've been going all night.
We should have lost Dongfang Shi by now.
We are almost there.
There should be a hotel in less than 10 miles. Wake up.
Let's go.
Boss Lady.
Are you out looking at the moon this late?
Your hotel's secret tunnel was so hard to find.
Smart ones like me still had to take a long time to find the entrance.
It looks like I am a little late.
Tell me, what kind of important guests
was worthy for you to walk them out yourself?
Young Lord, I was forced to.
They were all fighters. I'm just a girl, so I couldn't defend myself,
so I had to walk them out through this tunnel.
How long were they gone?
Hello, misters.
Quick, two rooms. Now! Now!
Okay. No problem.
- Lainiu (Lazy Cow)! - Yes!
Come.
Take this Young Lord to the east room.
- I'm so sleepy. - This way, please. - This mister, yours is on that side.
What were you saying
about getting back to whom together?
I didn't say anything.
Did you hear it wrong, Young Lord?
Did I?
If you lie again,
I will break another finger of yours.
I don't have much patience.
If I were you,
I would tell the truth.
I will. I will.
Ah Zhu,
it's lunch time.
I'm not having it. I need to sleep.
- Third Master. - Be prepared and act accordingly.
Yes.
- Boss! - Yes.
Get me a kilo of beef,
a bottle of nice wine,
and some of your special dishes.
Okay, just wait one moment. Coming right up.
- Lainiu! Bring him the dishes. Quick. - Got it.
Why is there no one here
during lunch time?
Boss,
send the food I ordered to my servant's room.
He is not up yet. I will go wake him up again.
- Okay. No problem. - Okay.
Lainiu!
That guy noticed something. Tell our people to be prepared.
Don't let the target get away. Go.
Ah Zhu! Ah Zhu! Ah Zhu! Quickly get up!
- Don't disturb me! - Get up! Get up!
What happened? Dongfang Shi has caught up?
It's not Dongfang Shi. We are in a gangster's inn. Quickly run. Wear your shoes.
How did this happen?
Quick. Quick.
Mister, your food is ready.
What are you doing?
Over there. Quick. Quick.
Break the door open!
Zhu Shou! Let's go!
My Lady, go! I will stop them!
We are leaving together!
Stop worrying about me! I will know how to get out of this. Go!
Go!
Don't come closer! Don't come closer!
Smash you! Get away! Don't come closer!
Smash you!
Smash you! Don't come closer!
Come here! Come here!
I'm going to smash you to death!
You are dead!
- The girl is definitely not far. You two, go after her! - Stop!
Aren't you doing this for money?
I will give it to you.
Stop wasting efforts to chase that lady earlier.
I will pay for her, too.
Are five hundred thousand taels enough?
Five hundred thousand?
They are indeed a fat lamb. He offered five hundred thousand taels from the start!
It's my first time seeing someone using silver as a weapon.
So wealthy.
People like you
should give us five hundred thousand for each of us.
That girl is not too far away. If you don't agree to it,
I will get her back right now.
Unsatisfied? Are you a snake devouring an elephant?
Five hundred thousand taels is not enough?
With just you guys, how many people do you have to rob to get five hundred thousand?
Don't you know?
If you know what you are doing,
let me write a letter now and ask for money from my family in the south.
Stop negotiating.
Don't force me to bite my tongue and kill myself,
so you can't get one tael.
You think you can scare me?
Want to bet?!
I can kill you right now!
Third Master, it's five hundred thousand taels!
Get me as comfortable as you can.
If I lose 0,1 kilo,
or lose a one hair strand,
don't even think about the money.
Also,
we are all businessmen.
We should all earn money amicably, right?
If you really hurt me with your weapons, who is going to be responsible for that?
Good.
Five hundred thousand taels it is.
You better not play any tricks.
Remember this, you are my hostage.
If you say another word again,
I will cut off your tongue and send it back altogether.
Okay. Okay. I will shut up.
Go write the ransom letter right now. Let's go!
"I...
was abducted by Third Master at the border of Xichu Province."
Stop playing around. Keep writing.
"They are asking for five hundred thousand taels for bail."
Zhu brat!
Boss Jin.
You're so bold!
You dare seize Boss Jin and charge into my inn alone. I see that you have a death wish.
Let her go.
Did you guys catch a fat guy and a skinny girl pretending to be a guy?
So what?
Let Boss Jin go
and break an arm.
Maybe, I won't kill you.
Or else, you are never going to walk out this door.
Really?
Third Master... let them go.
Don't get this Young Lord angry.
Let them go?
They are worth five hundred thousand taels of silver!
Boss Jin, don't worry.
If he kill you now,
I will revenge for you immediately.
You jerk.
I referred you the hostages.
Young Lord, kill him.
I will serve you from now on.
Then both of you can go to hell and be together forever.
L-L-Lord, please let me go. Young Lord, please let me go.
Let go of the people you caught immediately!
H-H-He's just back there. There.
You still dared to play tricks with me?
Young Lord, please forgive me.
He is there! He is there!
Where's the fatty?!
Y-Y-Young Lord, he was just there writing the ransom earlier.
Young Lord, I didn't lie to you.
I really didn't lie to you, Young Lord!
Did you just catch the fatty?
What about the girl?
The girl... The girl...
The girl had the fatty stop us, so she could get away.
Really?
It's true. It's true.
I bet you can't lie to me now.
You should feel lucky that you didn't touch the Zhu brat.
I didn't at all, Young Lord.
Or else, I would have to burn your hotel to the ground.
Go get the fastest horse in your hotel.
- Quickly go! - I'm going now! I'm going now!
That's strange.
Why is Zhu Shou still not here yet?
Don't tell me he got caught.
Zhu Shou!
Why does he look so familiar? Wait!
Zhu brat, long time no see.
Dongfang Shi? Such a coincidence!
- I can't believe that I ran into you here! - That's right.
You are so happy to see me. Didn't you want to get rid of me?
Why would I want to get rid of you? Don't tell me
I have to report to you before I go travel.
Travel to a place like this?
Aren't you here to think of ways to make money?
What? You are afraid that I would know, so I can spoil it?
Making what money? I just want to go out and broaden my knowledge.
What about the five hundred thousand taels from the Yiliang Gambling House?
How did you know?
What's the relation of your House of Dongfang with Yiliang Gambling House?
It's our business.
What?!
The biggest brothel in Suzhou belongs to your family.
The biggest gambling house in Suizhou belongs to your family.
Even the house of Zhu owes you money.
Dongfang Shi, how much money does your family have?
Hence, I don't care if you pay us back or not. I can't let you be able to afford to pay us back either.
Brat, you should give the item back to me now.
- What item? - Still pretending? The badge!
That item!
I picked it up on the floor at your house the other day.
I forgot to give it back to you.
That thing seems important.
This?
When Prince of Cheng was going through some hardship, the House of Dongfang helped them.
In order to thank us, Prince of Cheng gave us this badge.
Our family then passed it down as an heirloom.
So that's the story behind it.
Where would you like to go next, Zhu brat? I will keep you company.
Since you saw through me, then I will stop lying to you.
I am going to the biggest gambling house in Xichu Province, Xiaojin Ku (Gold Cave), to get some money.
Don't tell me you are going to stop me for making a little money, too. Right?
Xiaojin Ku? I'm afraid that you will lose money.
That's my business. Just don't mess with me.
But Dongfang Shi, can you do me a small favor before I go to Xiaojin Ku?
Asking for my favor? That would be expensive.
Ten thousand taels for you to save Zhu Shou from that gangster inn.
Just ten thousand taels? That's just eating with me for two meals.
You are so stingy, Zhu brat.
Also it's not easy for you to ask me for this favor.
With Young Lord Dongfang's fighting skills,
don't tell me you can't even do an easy task like such?
Don't tell me Young Lord Dongfang is afraid.
Such a coward, and you are thinking about marrying me?
Reverse psychology doesn't work on me. Zhu brat,
if Zhu Shou got caught, you probably would've
pulled out your crossbow on me.
I don't know how to fight. This is for self-defense.
How dare I use it on you?
Also, you are such a good fighter. How could a little thing like this hurt you?
So you know yourself.
Stop with the nonsense, Dongfang Shi. Just tell me if you are willing to save Zhu Shou for me or not.
Zhu Shou ran away already.
But he is not as smart as me, so he hasn't found you yet.
- Really? - Really.
Great! If he can't find me, he would head to Xichu Province.
- We agreed to meet at the Xiujin Ku. - Can you even make it out here by yourself?
You've probably never been to this desert before.
This Xichu Desert is vast and borderless.
No one knows how many people die here every year.
Maybe there are many corpses that were buried by the sand
and right under your feet!
You wouldn't be happy without scaring me, is that it?!
I walked out of here with my grandfather twice. I know this place very well.
I can be your desert guide.
Girl, you need to follow me closely. If you run into the bandits,
and they catch you, these bandits haven't seen a girl in a long time,
you will be like a little ship in a wolf pack.
You will be eaten alive!
Come on.
Giddy up!
What's wrong?
Isn't this where we took off earlier?
We probably... went the wrong direction.
Didn't you say that you know this place very well?
I meant I know this place better than you.
What do we do now?
I shouldn't have followed you. It would be better if I was alone.
Let's wait. Once it's night, we can follow the Big Dipper.
That would definitely work. Let's go.
Zhu brat! Zhu brat!
Jia!
Crap...
Zhu Shou has all the water and food.
It's so hot.
Aren't you thirsty, Zhu brat? Why aren't you drinking your water?
I just escaped the hotel, so I was in a hurry.
My water and food
are in Zhu Shou's bag.
Don't know if Young Lord Dongfang just happen to have some water to share with me.
Water in the desert is like gold.
How much are you willing to pay for this water?
Young Lord Dongfang is really a shrewd businessman.
In this borderless desert, just us two,
and you still remember to make money.
- That's great. Just great. - You are not so bad yourself.
How much are you selling?
You made five hundred thousand taels from my Yiliang Gambling House. I don't want that much.
Just one hundred thousand taels for the water.
- Why don't you just go rob people? - It is faster than robbing someone.
One hundred taels! And nothing more.
One hundred thousand taels. And nothing less.
You can have enough water for ten lives with one hundred thousand taels.
Unfortunately, you are in the desert. Water costs one hundred thousand taels in here.
Two hundred taels!
How about this? Flirt with me, and you can have the water.
If you won't sell it, then don't!
I don't believe that I will die of thirst without your water.
Zhu brat,
you don't have to dig a hole even if you can't drink water. Burying yourself in it can't make you feel cooler.
And you have to sweat a lot. It's not a good deal.
You want to kill me from thirst? Not that easy!
It's not that Uncle Jiu and I have never seen a drought before.
Plants in arid regions like this can store lots of water in their roots.
As long as I dig the root out, I can have water.
Can you drink the water down there?
Enough to stop the thirst. It just tastes funny.
Dongfang Shi, do you really think I'm some kind of pampered rich lady?
Stop digging.
Here.
Two hundred taels. Nothing more.
It's free.
Zhu brat,
it's okay that you don't want to spend one hundred thousand taels.
You couldn't even bear to flirt with me.
You know that I like you. As soon as you beg me,
I can give you all the water.
Didn't I drink it anyways?
Time for bed.
This Zhou brat...
I don't know if you knew that I would give you my water
or were you really trying to dig the root to get water.
Zhu brat.
She fell asleep that fast?
I offered you water, and you wanted to kill me?
Sorry, I was too tired that
I forgot you were next to me, so by reflex...
Really?
I swear that whatever I said was true.
I've been scared all the way here. I kept being chased by assassins.
Okay already. Don't be afraid.
With me here to protect you, no one can hurt you.
Why do I feel like he is not that annoying anymore?
No, Hua Buqi, don't be seduced by his words.
Think about that ugly and evil face of him when he was poisoning Yun Lang.
What is that thing?
You didn't get stung, did you?
Silly girl, I was in a hurry, so I didn't bring any medicines. If you keep being shy,
I can't promise that I can keep your leg.
The venom won't spread anymore.
Zhu brat, you will be fine.
I'm sorry.
Your mouth is poisoned.
My mouth...
It's okay.
I used to hate how thin my lips were. It's just perfect now.
What? Aren't I cuter now?
Just so-so.
Do I finally deserve you now, Zhu brat?
Get away!
I became this because of you!
- Such an ugly mouth! - Take another look at me!
No!
We are finally by the entrance of Biluotian.
It's just I underestimated the Emperor's suspicion.
This room has at least fifteen people guarding it,
and everyone of them is a good fighter.
Who knows how many there are in the dark?
The Emperor is so careful with us.
Brother,
I am afraid that it would be very hard for us
to find the entrance to Biluotian.
What should we do?
I stole the half of the map from the mysterious person.
He won't let it slide.
He will definitely set an ambush on the way to Biluotian,
but it's a good thing. I can use the Emperor's people
to fight his people, so we can open the entrance amidst the chaos.
I hope so.
Master, many people showed up on the path towards Gui Valley.
Our people saw their badge. They are probably from the palace.
From the palace?
I thought they were from the Seventh Prince's.
I can't believe that they are the Emperor's people.
This matter has now gotten complicated.
Go inform Big Bearded Ma.
Let him prepare an ambush in the woods.
That's the only way to the Gui Valley.
Yes!
Can we really find food by following it?
In my opinion,
just catch it and roast it.
I haven't had snakes for a long time.
How long can a snake last?
Our water can only last another for half a day,
and there is sand in it, so gross.
We have to find water or any substitute.
Or else, we will turn into two dried corpses
in this vast desert not long from now.
Zhu brat,
even though we were not born in the same day,
maybe we can die on the same day together.
