Episode 34
I know you are here.
It has been many years since we met. You haven't changed at all.
I lost my memories.
I don't remember much about you.
Why are you here to look for me then?
- I'm here to fight with you. - There must always be a reason, right?
Xiao En returned to the capital. If you remain here
and don't go back to Northern Qi, I won't take any actions on you.
Xiao En must not come back alive.
Make your own then.
Stop!
He's right.
If you make your move, it's hard to predict life and death.
I missed by just a bit.
He also knew about you much earlier.
Really?
When I just arrived, you were already in my perimeter.
When we were talking, you changed your directions thrice.
Formidable.
Teacher, I can't defeat this guy.
Go to the border of Qing state and kill Xiao En. Don't let him go back to the capital.
Teacher, you talked so loud. He heard everything.
How can I leave now?
If you are not a Grandmaster, you can leave.
I'm leaving.
Why is your skin so fine and smooth?
There are no blemishes at all. What do you use on your face?
Haitang!
I know. I get it. I'm leaving now.
How formidable.
Teacher, have a good fight!
Seems like he didn't hear me.
[Tong Bei Inn]
Lord, we found a place for Xiao An.
He's locked up in that carriage. There are two men guarding him.
How are you?
I talked so well
that I defeated his desire for killing me.
Lord, she's interested in you.
What nonsense are you spouting? I was the one who caught her.
Lord.
- She's interested in you. - See.
- You are even messing around with him too? - I'm not.
- I can see it. - See.
What do you know? She's a criminal.
A criminal? They have feelings too.
I didn't expect such a decent person, like Brother Gao,
could be so witty too.
When one has seen many people,
-you know what people would think. -I agree!
Even though you can't predict how others think, but friendship is the most important!
Enough.
You both, come back to the house with me.
You. Whatever Xiao En told you today,
Tell me everything.
How old is your wife?
My words made him completely stopped being hostile toward me.
He started to get friendly with me.
Brother Wang, you are good with your words and know people's psyche well.
It's a necessary skill to have in order to walk on the earth.
When you see a human, you talk human.
-When you meet a ghost... -You've made a mistake.
What?
I said, you committed a mistake.
My Lord, Brother Wang was being respectable
and lowered himself to the ground.
Xiao En would definitely think that he can't abduct Brother Wang to threaten you, my lord.
He can't make a move easily.
Lord, dare I ask, which spoken part was wrong?
Everything's wrong.
Everything's wrong?
There is only one conclusion in what you said.
In less than a day, Xiao En will take actions to kill you.
Lord Yan, it's an exhausting journey. Please go rest in your tent.
-We will patrol the border. -It's the border. One shall not think insignificant of it.
Northern Qi is afraid of being beaten. Nothing will happen.
Lord, there's a horseman in front.
Wait. Put it down.
Be calm and wait here.
Commander Yan, there's an urgent order.
Report back that I will personally go.
Yes.
What are you trying to do?
For the past days, in your food,
I added drugs.
The taste was just right.
Thinking about it now,
I disrespected you.
What's wrong? Starting from today, you don't intend to add the drug now?
What are you trying to do?
This place is surrounded by arrows and swords.
Please don't get yourself killed, Sir Xiao.
Alright.
Was this used for killing Wang Qinian?
Yes.
Wang Qinian is one of the good ones under my wind.
Brother Wang, I think the lord was making sense.
What sense?
Both of his hands were tied. What would he be using to kill me?
This.
-My lord. -If I didn't stop him,
you would die of it tomorrow.
But I don't understand, my lord.
Why is he killing me?
You've read his life story, right?
Yes. The yard gave it to me.
They said that this person is cruel and manipulative.
But I still don't understand. I've told him that
I'm a nobody.
Also, he can't escape even if he kill me.
Then why does he have the motivation of killing me?
He is human. If you were him
and you were locked up in a dungeon for many years. How would you feel?
Anger.
Ven...vengeance, right?
All of those. All these emotions were suppressed for many years and he needs to let them out, right?
Basing on his life story, blood calms him down the most.
And him wanting to kill me
is only to blow off some steam?
Coming up north this time is Xiao En's opportunity to escape.
Once he killed the important ones around me,
and I see revenge, he would be dead.
So I told him that you are an important soldier to me.
If you put it that way, would he catch me and
-threaten you? -No.
Unless it's my family, or else Xiao En would not risk it.
Once he made a mistake and we shoot arrows at him, he would die.
To Xiao En, hope for surviving is the most important thing.
That's right. You've also poisoned him.
It sounds like nothing could go wrong.
We will pass by Cang Zhou this time we go abroad.
My lord, should we send people to get ahead and investigate?
Since his lordship is talking about this now,
it means that he doesn't want more people to know that.
This trip is dangerous. I don't say it so we don't get stopped.
You are so careful, my lord. Nothing can go wrong in this trip.
-My lord, everyone is here. -Finally.
-Prepare the horses and chase them. -The gate is closed.
Take it. We will take off tomorrow then.
-Where are the assassins? Let me see them. -They are outside the gate.
We will meet them tomorrow outside the city.
-Why didn't they come inside the city? -They brought something problematic and they couldn't enter.
Are those weapons?
Not really.
You would know once you go outside the city, my lord.
[Capital]
Fresh vegetable.
Come take a good. Fair prices.
Fresh vegetable.
-These are the killers you got me? -Yup.
Dad, I've hired a bunch of killers.
They are all the best ones among killers.
You should never do that!
I will be following you. Once we are in the woods,
I will have those killers kill him.
That is impossible.
Do not do anything stupid.
Fresh vegetable.
They are fresh and tasty.
Are you sure they kill people?
They do.
Put down your bets.
I meant, they are fresh and nice.
Are they really...selling vegetables?
They are from the country.
No one led them in and they couldn't enter the city,
so they have to sell these here.
I got them here to ki...kill people.
Once they are done selling. Once they are done selling.
My lord, look. That bag is for you.
It's for you especially.
We used our own manure. They are very delicious.
My lord, it's not our patrol ground ahead.
I need to go kill someone. You all can follow.
Are you running away, my lord?
I will be back one I killed the person. I've made arrangements for the camp.
Crossing the border is felony.
If I run and you will be the leader,
and you might be dead. If I come back after killing,
I promise that you will live.
If you don't want to come with, you may leave.
Who are you killing, my lord?
Don't ask. Just come with me.
Where to?
Cang Zhou. The person we are killing is passing by Cang Zhou and is heading the north of Qi.
This needle is hollow and the poison is inside.
I have to deal with you this way, sir.
When are you going to kill me?
You must be confused. I'm bringing you back to the north of Qi.
Chen Pingping would not let me back to the north.
How would I know what my teacher thinks?
I only do what I need to do.
You are such a nice young man.
Thank you for the compliment.
You practice twice a day and you never miss one.
I don't have your willpower even when I was your age.
Stupid birds fly first. I'm not gifted so I have to.
You are gifted and you have willpower.
If you can fight with the powerful ones, your potential will be stimulated and you will be improving.
You may ask me if there is anything you want to know.
Stop the carriage.
Alright.
Keep him company.
Yes.
Is there anything you would like to talk about,
I can talk with you.
You...
look exhausted.
Xiao En has been testing me. It has been tiring.
Is there anything I
can do for you?
Nothing.
Let me give you a massage.
Thank you, miss.
Turn around.
Easy easy.
Why are you sighing, my lord?
I caught you.
Yes.
I forced you in the dungeon.
In theory, it's hard for you not to hate me.
Why are you treating me so well?
I was drugged by you.
You caught me after I ran away from the capital.
You were also the one interrogating me in the dungeon.
Maybe it's my fate to get bullied by you.
Even though,
you were still the one kept me alive,
so I got to be safe.
I don't know if I should hate you or thank you.
I've been thinking over and over,
and you stayed in my heart.
I couldn't tell anything.
You are still sighing after hearing that.
Am I that undesirable?
Aren't you afraid that I'm going to do something to you
after you said this and look like this?
I'm used to getting bullied by you.
So if I really do something to you,
you would not stop me?
You don't believe me even after all that?
Ok.
Show me what's in your left hand.
Ever since you got on the carriage, you've been hiding this hair pin.
How much do you love it?
Are you laughing at me for being ignorant and useless?
I understand you.
You understand everything naturally.
Locked up in the dungeon and not be able to see the sun.
You worried every day because of the unknown.
It's the most difficult thing to go through.
Even though you are on your way back to the north of Qi,
but the person transporting you is me.
You participated in the assassination on the Niu Lan Street.
Of course, you would worry that I'm going to seek revenge and kill you on the way.
But what a girl like you can do?
All you can do is being nice to me like how you did it.
You think sucking up to me would give you more hope to live, right?
You are afraid that I would be impulsive,
so you've been holding this tight,
because this is the only thing you can rely on now.
But we both know that you would not stab me with it,
because you wouldn't dare. You are afraid of hurting me.
Once you hurt me, you will die.
You can't hurt yourself with it either, because you don't want to die.
Right? Am I right?
You can't stab me and you can't kill yourself with it.
If that so,
why even holding it?
Your life is in other people's hands.
I know that you feel powerless,
and I know that you are going through a lot.
Miss Lili,
it's the world's fault.
The war between the two countries
forced a girl to become this.
I really understand you.
Just cry. Just cry.
Why holding the tears up when you want to cry?
What are you looking at? Keep going.
She sounds very sad.
What's the name?
Si Lili. Also a spy from the north of Qi.
I'm asking about your lord.
You still don't remember his name?
Fan Xian.
I've memorized this name now.
He will definitely be a big enemy of Qi.
Just because he made a woman cry?
It's not easy to
let the guard down in the enemy state.
No one would hurt you.
Just be calm. I will send you home.
My home is actually in the north of Qi.
My real name is Li Lisi.
Li?
The rumor was true. I am one of the royals of Qing.
Back when the emperor of Qing inherit the throne,
the Huang's raise from the Blood Sea.
My race was almost killed off.
So my family and I fled to the north of Qi.
So you came to the capital to revenge?
I have a little brother.
He is my only family.
Everything I did was for him to live a good life.
The north of Qi is using your brother to threaten you?
Forget it. There is nothing more to say.
How about I help you?
How?
Find your brother and bring you back to Qing.
There's no need. The result will be the same.
Last time when you were caught,
you didn't leak my secret.
It's the favor I owe you.
So this time, you can ask me a question.
No matter what it is, I will tell you.
Anything?
I heard that you are getting married.
Ye...yes. Once I'm back from the north of Qi.
Have you met her?
I did.
Do you two like each other?
Yes.
That's all you wanted to ask?
That's nice.
I wish you two can be together for eternity.
I've learned everything I wanted to know.
-My Lord. -Fan Xian is
too much ahead. Could you guys hurry?
Yes yes yes.
My lord, your horse is so special event in the court, right?
What?
A horse like this can't run very far without good food.
That's a joke.
I handpicked it myself. How could it go wrong?
Just follow me.
It wouldn't stop diarrhea.
Come back come back.
I finally caught up with you
and you are dumping me?
You guys dumped me every time I caught up on you.
I really can't catch up. I'm losing my mind.
My lord, we are passing the mountain.
We are taking shortcuts. We should be able to catch Fan Xian
within the border.
Shortcut?
Ok. Alright.
But your speed is lacking.
What do I do?
I can't walk anymore.
Steady. Steady.
My lord, have some.
I don't want to eat.
It's so bitter.
My lord,
you are too spoiled for this.
How about let's forget about it?
No! I have to kill Fan Xian!
Alright. As long as you can make it.
Fan Xian is among the diplomas.
He definitely has guards.
Did you guys bring weapons?
We did. We did!
His lordship wants to see the weapons.
What it is?
My lord, it's a rolling pin. For rolling the dough.
I've thought about it. You all need to listen to me.
I've read all the books and know a lot about strategy.
You all need to follow my orders.
Just go up at once and hack Fan Xian to death when he is not looking.
Ok!
We are now close to the border. I would like to ask you something, sir.
Ask away.
Why weren't you killed back then?
I know lots of important things.
I understand that they need information.
But why didn't they chop off your hands and feet?
There should be a limit to everything.
Once I get to my limit,
I will kill myself.
Before they get the information they need,
Chen Pingping doesn't want me dead.
Still doesn't make sense.
What?
Maybe they should not pass you limit then,
but since they are sending you back to the north of Qi,
why didn't they chop them off when you left the capital?
Now that you have hope and you wouldn't commit suicide.
If they chop your hands and feet off, there wouldn't be any threats on the road.
In theory, it should be one stone two birds.
Chen Pingping knows it better than I do.
Why is he so nice to you now?
I don't understand this part either.
The north o the Qi wants Xiao En to be a live.
You can just ruin his Kung Fu skill.
Why give this big trouble to Fan Xian?
You don't have to worried about Fan Xian's safety.
I know that your army is protecting Fan Xian to get to the north.
But Xiao En is not someone who just wait for it to happen.
How could I not worry?
Blow out the lights.
I don't care.
Maybe they sent me to take care of you.
Using me like a knife to kill a youngster like you.
It's so boring of you to pit us against each other.
Don't trust Chen Pingping entirely.
There will be a day
that you would regret it.
All the soldiers were gone per your order.
No one is guarding Fan Xian right now.
There was news from the north of Qi.
Shang Shanhu led his people to head south
and they disappeared.
He was probably trying to save Xiao En.
Yes.
Then he will run into Fan Xian.
If you order the soldiers to leave,
Fan Xian will be facing the king of fighting in northern Qi alone.
Don't you see him as an orphan or cousin?
If you do this, you are asking him to fight death.
Don't tell Fei Jie about Shang Shanhu yet.
What are you planning to do to Fan Xian?
He is a smart person.
In order for him to trust me, I've spent lots of time on him
and lots of planning. I can't finally see this day.
Brother Wang.
Lord Fan needs to see you.
My lord.
Gao Da and his people are reliable.
You may trust them to do anything.
My dad said that I may trust you all.
I need you to do me a favor.
Anything.
I want to abduct Xiao En.
For what?
The lady used to travel with Xiao En.
My mother?
She also told me that she enter the world
because of Xiao En.
I have something to ask him and you are the key.
The people from the north of Qi will take him away.
The north Qi will have no standpoint, so they can't stop us from taking Yan Bingyun.
The north of Qi?
You know Xiao En's adopted son, Shang Shanhu, right?
Are you contacting Shang Shanhu, my lord?
I'm only borrowing the name.
