The Plough Department Of Song Dynasty
Episode 26
You know,
that girl is about the same age as Yaoguang.
And she has a baby
while my daughter is
such a loafer!
That's the reason why I don't have a grandson.
What a pity!
Bro,
don't worry about it.
The married daughter
often lives in another family.
So Yaoguang can spend more time
to accompany you if she doesn't get married.
Yeah.
That's it.
Accompany?
It would be a rare thing to celebrate if I wasn't
pissed off about her.
Look at that.
Is that Yaoguang?
What's going on?
Yaoguang,
come on.
Good day!
Dad.
Uncles.
Hello.
Yaoguang.
Silly girl,
you just find another man
looks like that guy.
Uncle,
What're you talking about?
He is Taisui.
Taisui?
I thought he was already...
Already what?
He just...
just carried out a task secretly,
pretending to be dead.
Now it's all done.
So he is back.
Yeah.
But why were you so sad with tears
welled in your eyes at that time?
That's
because...
it's a secrect mission
I didn't know it either.
What kind of project
was so hush-hush?
How can I tell you
since it's a secret mission?
See you later.
We have to leave.
Let's go to the theatre.
Great.
Budge up.
Yaoguang,
naughty girl,
What is that?
That one? Yes.
Bro,
that boy seems a little bit dumb.
Are you willing to allow such marriage?
Yaoguang fell in love with him.
Is there any way I can meddle?
Also,
Yaoguang always behaves so murderously
that no other boys dare to propose a marriage.
Besides, there's no way for our Cao family
to propose marriage to a boy.
That's true.
Children have their own luck.
Take it easy.
Alright.
Come on.
Go ahead.
A sudden thought crosses my mind.
What is it?
Did all your uncles
beat me before?
That's why I said
only you can treat me well.
Yes.
So you should
take care of me in turn.
Budge up. Budge up.
Yaoguang,
who are these people?
Maybe the ambassador from Beishu Kingdom?
Beishu?
But the clothes
they wear look like the same as ours.
My father told me
their elites dress and write in our style.
And they are proud of it.
They even admire our culture in a way.
Now I see.
Yaoguang,
you almost know everything.
Let's go.
Your Majesty,
may I introduce the ambassador Lu Fan from the Kingdom of Beishu.
Your Majesty,
I bow in respect before your majesty.
May I introduce the vice-ambassador Yi Xin.
May I bow in respect to Your Majesty.
It must be a long journey.
Good to have you here.
We also bring the gifts for Your Majesty
prepared by the king of our country.
Here are three hundred jades,
ninety pearls
and three hundred horses.
I really appreciate it.
For such a long way,
please rest for two days
Then,
I will set a banquet
to welcome you on arrival.
Thanks, Your Majesty.
Do you get used to
the courier station now?
Your Majesty,
although the station in the city is exquisite,
we usually live in the open space in our country.
So it seems a little bit opressed.
May I choose another place to live,
Your Majesty.
I see.
But
you are my respected guests,
how can I allow you arrange things by yourself?
Prince Xian,
provide their accommodations in Guchui Pavilion.
With beautiful sceneries
and open areas,
ambassadors will love it.
Thanks, Your Majesty.
Taisui really comes back?
And Yaoguang invites him to hang out,
so we don't chat a lot.
That's great.
I cannot believe it
when Wenqu told me about that.
That's so great.
Dongming.
Taisui,
you're finally back.
Who is he?
Sir,
he still needs time to recover from it.
So some memories lost
temporarily right now.
It's alright.
Don't worry.
Take your time.
Taisui,
tomorrow we will enter the palace to greet his majesty together.
His Majesty missed you very much.
But
his secret...
In the end things will mend.
You just
immerse yourself in anxiety.
Taisui,
tomorrow I will take you to an interesting place.
One thing to mention, mind your words.
You can repeat
like words I say.
Okay.
Your Majesty.
Dongming is here.
May I bow to Your Majesty.
Arise.
Dongming,
where is Taisui?
You told me he is alive.
Taisui,
where are we now?
Such a large and great mansion!
Taisui,
Wait,
who is this guy?
Don't be rude.
Now bow to Your Majesty
in respect quickly.
It's...
it's fine.
I like him.
And he saved my life.
Now,
whenever you come to the palace,
we can call each other "Bro"
in manners of brotherhood.
Your Majesty,
it's not proper.
Never mind.
His merit
deserves the title of my brother.
Taisui,
Hearing your death,
I was so sad.
Now you look quite good.
Dongming told me
you had rolled down the Duanlong Stone with heavy injuries
and survived on sacrificial offerings.
Yes.
It's true.
Taisui got out from there,
but he was extremely weak
and rested for a long time.
But his mind
still entangled.
So Your Majesty,
may I beg your forgiveness
for his rude behavior.
Of course.
He once saved my life.
I will not blame him?
You're welcome.
Mother,
recently there are two pieces of good news.
What for?
You look so happy.
The first one concerns about
Taisui who defended me against the poison needle
in Demiao's riot a year ago, remember?
Yes.
What's the matter?
He is not dead.
He was heavly injured.
He survived on sacrificial offerings in the tomb
and then ran away.
Really?
He just pulled through
with his mind still entagled.
I've met him today.
Mother,
now you guess what's the second one?
My son,
don't leave me hanging.
Yesterday,
the ambassador of Beishu Kingdom came
with jades, pearls
and horses as gifts.
Nowadays the relations develop more harmoniously.
So isn't it an event to celebrate
that people can live
and work in peace?
That's true.
But never forget to guard against possible harm done by others.
I know.
I have something to deal with, do rest early.
My boy.
According to the secret imperial edict,
His Majesty commands our department
to keep an eye on ambassadors of Beishu.
But we cannot offend these people
if they don't act maliciously
in case of strained relations between two countries.
Yinguang takes charge of it.
Okay.
The case of Kongsang Group I mentioned before
has something to do with the secret behind.
You go to their place with Yaoguang
to check the findings of Di Lingzi and Xuan Xuanzi.
It's time
for them to know the plan of the court.
Yes.
Here we are.
Right here.
Come in please.
Okay.
What are they looking for?
I don't know.
But
it must be something quite important.
They rummaged through where Chongxuan sat in meditation
and his bedroom.
May I excuse myself.
Yes, please.
Hello, guys.
How's it going?
Has anything been found?
Where is my Shifu?
I'm going to find him.
Taisui,
Yaoguang,
let him go.
In the temple,
he will not lose his way.
Although there is no further findings,
But now we know for sure that
something is fishy on Biyou Mountain.
Di Lingzi and Xuan Xuanzi look suspicious.
We already know their secrets.
Take a seat.
Taisui,
Why are you here.
Shifu,
It's for you.
Shifu,
Well.
Stay there.
It seems the place where Chongxuan hid things.
You're right.
But obviously that stuff has been stolen.
What do you mean?
There is a device.
Chongxuan hid his treasures
in the place accessible for everyone.
Such a trick.
Here everyone kowtows,
but nobody knows such a big secret
hidden underneath.
What is it?
Funny or not?
You should ask your Shifu.
Now
There's no need to cover it.
Frankly,
we know what you are looking for.
You
knew it already.
One piece of the map in Kongsang temple,
two pieces in Biyou Mountain,
the last one is
in our department, right?
You certainly want to disguise a major accident
as a minor one.
But instead of your own issue,
it may endanger the whole country
and millons of people.
Don't plan to cover up something,
this would only lead to regret.
At first we thought
there is something we can do
about it with such stuff.
But now
we don't know what to do.
That's is something
can only be decided by his majesty.
As Your Highness expected,
the death of Chongxuan
has something to do with the map.
The brass plate with parts of the map is missing.
If he can get another two plates in Biyou Mountain,
then three quarters of the map
might help him to guess where the treasure is hidden.
The country will fall into chaos.
Tell the Biyou Mountain to hand over these plates.
Yes, Your Highness.
In the past,
His Majesty had asked the Biyou Mountain
for two related brass plates
of Tuibei divanation.
But failed to get them.
So this time
we just play it by ear.
Sir,
I'm confused.
Since the map is of no use to them,
why not handing over these plates?
Let's say
you had a letter in your family for generations
of no use,
But when someone asked for it
with a lot of money,
would you sell it?
I understand.
It would be fine if the map
was just a memento.
But it ties to the whole country.
So the court is supposed to act.
Naughty boy.
Bunny.
Taisui,
Where are you going?
You go on ahead,
I'll take him back.
Take care.
Brother,
it's fine.
Come on.
Alright.
Taisui.
Bunny.
Don't run away, bunny.
Taisui, come back.
Wait for me.
Bunny.
Taisui.
Bunny.
Wait for me.
Taisui.
Bunny.
Wait for me, bunny.
Bunny.
Don't!
Do you think I will risk my life
just for you two strangers?
Taisui.
Ghost!
As from today,
you've beceom an official member of the Plough Department.
You bastard.
I love you.
Taisui.
Wake up, Taisui.
Taisui.
Don't scare me, Taisui.
Taisui,
wake up please.
Whatever you say, I will listen.
Taisui.
Are you awake?
Where am I?
My head hurts.
You scared me.
You really scared me.
I...
I'm fine.
Where is my little bunny?
Where is it?
Taisui,
are you okay?
Little bastard!
Why you run around?
Taisui,
Shifu
Where
is my little bunny?
What bunny!
You are such a naughty monkey.
That is bothering me!
Bunny?
I will turn you into a bunny next time.
Look out.
Understand?
Or I will pinch your ear.
There was an agreement between
our mountain and your emperor Taizu.
The court would never ever push us for the map,
in return,
the map stays mysterious forever.
My elder brother Chen Tuan
divided the map into four parts
which were forged as brass plates
and kept by four sides.
Now
are you breaking your promise?
Today is different.
The one kept by Kongsang Group
has been stolen.
One piece cannot work out without others.
I'm afraid
their next target
is your Mountain.
Are you doubting our strength?
Or you're worried about your department
for losing the plates that
you are in charge of.
There is no limit
if you look up.
I neither dare to look down upon all figures
nor even to promise
the entire security of our plate.
But if our department
safely guarded the last one
while others
are stolen by evil men,
it would be easy
for them to reckon the last part.
So I hope you
can take people in our country as priority
by allowing the imperial court to keep these plates.
Brother,
actually the two plates are
weighing us down.
How about...
Four brass plates,
one in the Plough Department,
one was stolen,
the others
are in the charge of my brother and me.
Suppose we hand them over to your department,
the bad guy will
get the whole map in one go.
Isn't it more dangerous?
The truth is
the emperor doesn't trust us.
On the other hand,
we people
also have doubts about the strength of the imperial court.
How can we hand over the script of our grandmaster?
You're the leader of our Biyou Mountain,
don't let us down.
Xuan Xuanzi
Shizu.
Come,
Shizu
Take a seat.
You...
want to ask something?
Shifzu,
that map,
it seems you don't want it to come out?
Yeah.
So why
you want to keep it by yourself?
Isn't handing over it
more easier?
Young man,
there are things you don't understand.
You'd better learn the hibernating dragon I taught you,
and when you are at my age,
you will understand it in a natural way.
Taisui,
leave us now.
May I excuse myself.
Brother.
How many years have passed,
brother
since we knew each other?
Eighty eight years.
The purpose of the court
is using the map
or destroying it.
Anyway there is a reason for it.
We tried to keep it
in the place our grandmaster hid
till the end of time.
Such determination has been carried out
for generations.
Brother
I stand in the position of a leader
with too much worries.
Anyway
I don't mean to
affect the brotherhood between us.
Bro,
I'm sorry
I lost my temper.
We are brothers for more than eighty years,
don't be sorry.
Focus on your meditation and cultivation.
I can deal with
the court myself.
Brother.
Don't worry.
Everyone,
I've discussed with Tian Guizi
in details.
Such map is the possession of our grandmaster.
He hid it
with the intention of
keeping it hidden and intacted.
It's hard
for us to violate his intentions.
So
I cannot hand over
the brass plates kept by me and Tian Guizi.
Sir.
But I can make a serious promise
that I will try my best to keep them in security.
It's impossible for evil guys
to steal these plates from me.
The court can rest assured.
But if you insist on breaking the agreement
between my elder brother Chen Tuan
and your emperor Taizu.
I will say nothing about it.
Here is our Biyou Mountain
Ready for your armies.
What shall we do?
It's a shame
you made such a decision.
But there are historical relations between Biyou Mountain,
royal family and our department.
So I would not send an army.
Instead I will only report to His Majesty about the truth.
May I excuse myself.
Hold on.
I cannot give you these plates,
but we have a close relationship with kongsang temple.
and Chongxuan asked for help
on his death.
We will never ignore the whole situation.
Di Lingzi, Xuan Xuanzi.
Yes.
You go with Doingming
to find Chongxuan's killer.
Yes, Elder.
May I excuse myself.
The Plough Department is a limited-access area.
Please rest in the Guchui Pavilion temporarily.
I will see you again
after I speak to His Majesty.
My thanks to Dongming. Thank you.
Yaoguang,
Miss.
Taisui,
stay here.
Don't be naughty.
We can hang out when I come back.
Great.
May I excuse myself.
See you.
Who is he?
He is Chunyu Feng.
Li Deming of Xia kingdom sent him to pay tribute.
Li Deming was always defiant.
Why he serves the Song Dynasty so humbly?
This year our dynasty changes the title of a reign.
His Majesty gives him the title as the Lord of Xiping
Li Deming is supposed to express his gratitude.
Your highness.
I'm Lu Fan, ambassador of Beishu Kingdom.
How should I address you?
I'm Chunyu Feng,
a wizard in the lordship of Xiping.
I've heard of you a lot.
It's so kind of you.
Brother,
I prefer to have some time alone
for my meditation.
Okay.
Brother,
go back to rest early.
Yeah.
Bye.
Taisui,
this is your room.
Dongming told me
the foreign ambassador also lives in this place.
So can you promise to stay here?
Or
get ready for spanking by officials.
Monkey.
why are you so quiet?
I thought you snuck out again!
Shifu,
why not
call me Immortal again?
Come here.
My boy,
I told you many times
never mention the word Immortal.
Forget it?
If so,
I will pinch your ears.
Shifu,
when I was a kid,
you always called me by that name.
Until
Yuan Yuanzi
found you with his prentice Demiao.
All things changed.
Since then,
I tried my best to find you
after waking up.
No matter how hard I tried,
it was impossible for me to find your body.
So I believed...
I believed that you must be alive.
But
as I grow up
with receding hope
and increasing depression.
Shifu,
after you left,
I was totally an orphan.
No one would call me Immortal.
Taisui,
all your memory has come back?
That day I ran after a rabbit and fell off the cliff.
Then everything in the past
has come back to me now.
Shifu,
please accpet this.
Immortal,
My boy.
Shifu.
You've remembered that.
So I have.
You've remembered that.
Shifu.
I missed you so much.
Shifu.
Shifu,
why you bring me here?
There's no one around.
So it's safe for our talk.
But
only Di Lingzi lives with us,
don't you trust him?
My boy,
if possible,
I endeavor to keep your secret of
being immortal in private forever.
Shifu,
I just wonder...
You just wonder
the reason why I'm still alive
and why I left you.
I had no choice.
