[Sword Snow Stride]

[Episode 19]

[ Mushan Hall ]

I've heard of Your Highness' outstanding reputation.

Meeting you in person today indeed solidifies it.

Fengnian, there are no outsiders here.

You may address me as Uncle.

Greetings, Uncle, the Lord Jing'an.

The apple never falls far from the tree.

My son has a long way to catch up to you.

You flatter me, Your Highness.

I heard you and my son had a bit of a misunderstanding at Chunshen Lake.

My son is prideful. He didn't dare meet with you.

Thus his mother and I decided to accompany him.

Sorry about this.

Now, apologize.

My apologies, Xu.

It's just a misunderstanding.

I am in no position to accept Xun's bow.

Fengnian is forgiving.

You got off easy this time.

Where are you going, sir?

Taking a stroll.

Taking a stroll now?

Both the old and young are cunning foxes.

There's no need to bother with them.

Lord Jing'an is in that house.

Are you going to attack him?

You don't have to watch me like this.

I won't do anything reckless.

My only purpose now

is to protect Xu Fengnian with my life.

You seem very devout, Uncle.

You chant the sutra every day.

Bodhisattva must be looking out for you.

I only pray for wisdom and to achieve good results.

By the way,

I heard that you had a short stay

on Mushan Island recently.

I stayed there one night.

The island's Mr. Wang Linquan is one of my trusted subordinates.

I didn't expect

you two to be acquainted.

You sure have a wide social network.

I'll be frank.

Mr. Wang used to work in the army.

He is my senior.

I see.

Mr. Wang should play host to you for a few more days then.

After you leave, he can return to work at the residence.

Forgive me for butting in, Uncle.

Mr. Wang is an old Beiliang reserve.

Naturally, he should return to Beiliang.

All things go back to their source. Don't you agree?

That makes sense.

Is it your father's idea?

For a small matter like this,

I am capable of making the decision.

Beiliang is endowed with heaven's grace.

You are still Xu Xiao's most favored son.

You're leagues above my son.

I think Qingzhou is the one blessed.

Especially Aunt.

She is truly a beauty.

Is Aunt also a Buddhist?

Your nephew is asking you a question.

Save the formalities.

Yes. I follow the rites.

If so,

I should get Aunt prayer beads as a gift.

It's fine.

I hope you don't turn down my goodwill, Aunt.

This is Fengnian's little gift. You should accept it.

Yes.

One-armed man... Give it to me!

One-armed man! Quick, give it to me!

One-armed man!

-One-armed man give it to me.
- Wait.

- Give it to me.
- Wait.

- Give it to me.
- Here you are.

Go on.

Little girl.

What a coincidence.

I found out the price.

The price of coffins has gone up.

I can't even afford to die now.

Why are you thinking of dying at your age?

The moment you're born, you're headed towards death.
Things become much easier when you accept the fact.

Become my disciple and no one can kill you.

Isn't that Mr. Wang?

Yes, it's him.

He seems to be in a hurry.

Your Highness.

Go.

The residence has matters to take care of.

Fengnian.

We'll meet again some other time.

Take care, Uncle.

Once I find suitable prayer beads,

I'll get someone to send them to your residence.

I saw Wang Linquan on the streets just now.

But he didn't come to the inn. He went to Lord Jing'an's residence instead.

Is Wang Linquan planning to revolt?

The arrow is already drawn.

What?

Does your father know that you came to the inn?

What has it got to do with you?

This is urgent. Please just answer the question.

He doesn't know.

Is there a way to go back to Mushan Island?

Who?

Me and you.

My father has the boat.

You can go to him if you wish to go back.

No. We can't let him know we're going back alone.

What are you trying to do?

Your father went to Lord Jing'an's residence.

Are you suspecting my father?

Have you ever wondered

why your father made a big fuss welcoming me to the island?

From a long-term perspective,

it would be more favorable to Beiliang

if he didn't reveal his identity.

Also,

why did he try so hard to leave you with me?

Are you saying you know?

He wants to save your life.

What?

Xu Fengnian is intolerable.

Father, how come Wang Linquan still has the audacity to see you?

It must be Xu Xiao's doing.

Xu Xiao?

Xu Fengnian is young, after all.

From our conversation,

it is clear what he wants.

He wants Wang Linquan's whole family

to return to Beiliang.

Now that Wang Linquan's identity is exposed,

he has to leave.

Once Wang Linquan is gone,

Xu Fengian won't be able to leave.

Considering the current situation,

I am in a very difficult position.

If I let Xu Fengnian go,

the imperial court might suspect

that I've allied with Beiliang.

But if I kill Xu Fengnian,

Xu Xiao will surely seek revenge.

But in actuality,

Xu Xiao has left us with a solution

that satisfies both parties.

Let the Wang family stay.

That's right.

Wang Linquan has exposed himself

as Beiliang's secret agent.

Keeping him and his family in Qingzhou

shows our stance to the imperial court.

With Qingzhou and Beiliang utterly at odds,

the capital will have to summon Xu Xiao to meet His Majesty.

If we want to reassure the imperial court,

I doubt detaining the Wang family is enough.

Right.

To make our stand clear,

we'll have to annihilate the Wang family.

Is this what Xu Xiao planned too?

Why else did you think Wang Linquan

revealed his identity so brazenly?

The moment he welcomed Xu Fengnian onto the island,

he has already been prepared to sacrifice the lives of his whole family.

Putting his subordinate's family

onto the guillotine,

Xu Xiao is really cruel.

If he couldn't even make this small sacrifice,

then Xu Xiao is not fit to play the game.

No way.

Why else was your father so adamant for you to leave with me?

Because I'd be saved if I left with you?

He's a parent after all.

This is all part of your father's plan?

He was going to abandon my family from the start.

I will only be able to save the Wang family

if we go back to Mushan Island now.

I, Xu Fengnian, never like to play by other people's rules.

Fine. We'll go.

You two stay here.

Don't let anyone know that I'm not at the inn.

I'll be back soonest possible.

You want to save the Wang family?

How are you going to leave Qingzhou then?

If I don't take the path Xu Xiao prepared,

I'll have to move mountains and fill the seas

to create my own path.

Serve Mr. Wang tea.

I shan't trouble Her Highness.

Over the years,

Mr. Wang has been of great assistance to me.

You deserve to be served.

Thank you, Your Highness.

I came today

to talk to you about the Prince's trip toward the east.

I'm sure Your Highness already knows.

If someone leaves,

someone else has to stay.

I will stay.

Just you alone

is not enough to redeem Xu Fengnian.

My daughter is still young.

Please spare her.

Aside from her,

the whole Wang household is willing to stay in Qingzhou.

If it is the whole household,

then there shouldn't be anyone missing.

All right.

I will do as Your Highness says.

I will go back to the island

and bring my family to Xiangfan.

Once all of you arrive,

I will send men

to escort Xu Fengnian out of Qingzhou.

Don't you hate Xu Xiao?

You don't know what the Beiliang army is about.

The greatness of Beiliang

lies in the heart of its people.

Now go.

Ponder on that.

Serve the tea.

Get up!

You shameless wench.

How dare you flirt with that lame man's bastard?

Have you lost your mind?

Did you think I didn't see him holding your hand?

You filthy woman.

Are you secretly delighted?

If I'm a filthy woman,

then I don't deserve to be your wife.

Wei'er...

did I hurt you?

No.

If you truly hate me,

then why won't you end your own life?

I'm afraid of dying.

That's why I married you.

Get lost!

If you plead for mercy,

he might stay his hand.

Thanks for your concern.

There is no boat.

I told you.

My father got the boat.

Then how will we get to the island?

Miss Wang.

We're in a hurry to get there before your father.

We can still get there without a boat.

That's...

A gigantic sea turtle?

You know a thing or two.

The first time I saw it,

I thought it was a turtle.

What are you waiting for?

Get on.

Stop looking.

There's no writing.

Where did you find it?

I met it by the lake when I was young.

We became friends.

I doubt it was born with this stele.

This gigantic sea turtle must have some special history.

You could try asking it.

It can talk?

It can even recite poems.

This really isn't the time to be making jokes.

It's better than being all depressed.

That's true.

Blackie, we're in a hurry to get back to the island

to save lives.

Did you give it the name?

It's so black.

There is no better name.

You must not let anyone else know

that you can summon a gigantic sea turtle.

Otherwise, you'll invite trouble.

I know.

If not for the emergency,

I wouldn't have shown you.

Don't worry.

I won't tell anyone.

Why do you want to save my family?

Do I need a reason to save someone?

Your father has set everything up.

Your deviating from the plan

means Lord Jing'an has no way out.

Won't this make it harder for you to leave Qingzhou?

Yes.

I am aware

that as long as I grit my teeth

and go along with Xu Xiao's plan,

I can get out of Qingzhou safely.

But sometimes, it's better to be dumb.

Isn't it better to be smart?

When I was on my three-year-long trip around the world,

I met a friend.

His name is Wenhua.

He is a swordsman.

Is he skilled?

Why haven't I heard of him?

He carries a wooden sword.

He spends his days challenging others.

But he's never won.

A wooden sword?

He's poor.

He couldn't afford a real one.

Why did you befriend a guy like that?

At the time, Huang and I were even poorer.

We met while stealing chickens.

We ran away together.

That's how we became friends.

Wenhua stole and lied.

He's done all sorts.

His clothes were in tatters

and his face was filthy.

Still, he always bragged that he was going to be a world-class swordsman.

Never seen a swordsman like that.

Indeed.

That's what I told him too.

Why did you suddenly talk about him?

We banded together

and traveled some distance.

At our poorest, most miserable moment,

when we were about to die from hunger,

someone offered to pay 100 taels for Wenhua to kill a man.

Did he do it?

He threw the money away.

Because the target was a good person?

I asked him.

We were on the brink of death,

why didn't he accept the money?

After all, a swordsman cannot avoid killing.

What did he say?

He said

the swordsman in his mind

can be shabby,

can be a jerk,

but he has to have a clear conscience.

If he had to do whatever it took just to stay alive,

he wouldn't be qualified to hold the sword.

Don't you think he's dumb?

He had nothing else but the wooden sword.

Not really.

I'm dumb too.

I remembered his words.

So,

the reason you won't sacrifice the Wang family

is that you too, wish to have a clear conscience?

I doubt I'd be a swordsman.

But I hope to be a good person.

Wenhua said the biggest fear in life is to have guilt.

So I don't want to trade or compromise.

I will only do things that I believe are right.

Okay, that's dumb.

I have no idea how a person like you

is able to take over Beiliang.

Right.

I guess I'm not made for it.

But I'd still like to see

a Beiliang ruler like you.

Not wanting trade-offs or compromises

may sound silly,

but having a person like you take control of Beiliang

should be interesting.

[ Chunshen Tranquil Residence ]

Move the whole family to Beiliang?

Any problem with that?

This is a huge matter.

Shouldn't we wait for the master to decide?

This is Mr. Wang's idea.

You can ask Miss Wang if you don't believe me.

That's right. My father wants everyone to depart immediately.

This is too sudden.

We haven't had time to pack our belongings.

to pack our belongings.

Just pack some money and necessities.

The people will leave first.

We can worry about the other things later on.

But...

Do you think I'm lying to you?

Master.

Master.

Your Highness?

Why are you back here?

How did you escape?

What is going on?

You came back too late, Mr. Wang.

Boats have already left.

What boats?

Leave to where?

Back to Beiliang.

Who's going back to Beiliang?

Our family.

That won't do.

Half of the people have left.

The Wang family cannot leave.

Who else do you think can be the next ruler of Beiliang?

It will be none other than you.

In that case, are you going to disobey my order?

No.

I'm not disobeying the order.

But the General has another arrangement.

He meant to sacrifice your family for my freedom, right?

There has been an adjustment.

Xu Xiao has changed the plan.

He no longer needs the sacrifice from the Wang family.

I wouldn't lie to you about such a serious matter.

Get on the boat.

Once in Beiliang, you will be handling many important tasks.

Then...

How could Lord Jing'an be willing

to let you leave Qingzhou?

Xu Xiao has sorted it out.

If you don't go, you'll be troubling me.

How about this? I have Xu Xiao's command token.

I'll show you.

Mr. Wang has had too much to drink. Help him board the boat.

Listen to His Highness.

Help my father onto the boat.

Depart immediately.

- Yes.
- Yes.

You hit my father.

Otherwise?

If I didn't hit him,

should I have left him here to die?

Well, so be it.

That's a good daughter.

How about this.

You'll oversee the move.

Leave as soon as you can.

Don't take anything unnecessary.

Where are you going?

Back to Xiangfan.

Why don't you leave with us?

I'm not going back to Beiliang.

But if you go back there,

Lord Jing'an won't let you leave, will he?

I have a plan.

What about

I get Blackie to take you away from Qingzhou?

Qingzhou is so big.

It's not all connected by water.

Besides,

what would happen to the people at the inn if I left?

Should they be handed over to Lord Jing'an?

- But...
- Forget it.

Do you want me to knock you out too?

Don't you dare.

Make haste and leave the island.

Take the survivors of the Lin family with you too.

I will.

You take care.

I'm off.

We'll wait for you in Beiliang!

Sure.

Don't die!

I'll wait for the day you take over Beiliang.

And then to make the world more interesting, right?

I am a man of my word.

Hey!

Do you need more servants?

No.

Goodbye.

Idiot.

This one.

Okay.

I'll wrap it up for you.

Put it in this sandalwood box.

You want to put the beads in such a nice box?

I think it's good.

Master Wei.

I went to the inn and heard you were out.

So I came looking for you.

I'm glad I found you.

You found out what I asked?

Yes.

Prince Zhao Xun was smitten with Pei Nanwei.

Later,

Lord Jing'an decided to take her as his consort.

After marrying,

Lord Jing'an showered the consort with love.

Not only in Xiangfan,

the whole of Qingzhou

knows that the consort is Lord Jing'an's most beloved person.

That's good.

Master Wei, make a trip to Lord Jing'an's residence.

Give them this and say

it's a gift to the consort from me.

Hold on.

Let me go find a pen and paper first.

There should be a note left in the box.

Aren't you going to open it

and take a look at the prayer beads Xu Fengnian gifted you?

If you're displeased,

I will return it.

Do you think I am that petty?

Open it.

I'd like to see what kind of prayer beads he chose for you.

It's made from leftovers.

Take a look yourself.

It's a little gift.

I'd like to ask Aunt to go to the wetlands tomorrow

so that I can personally see you wear it.

Father.

You know better than to rush about.

The Wang family took off.

What?

Wang Linquan and his family ran away on boats.

All of them?

Yes.

They left in a hurry.

When we got the news,

their boats have already passed the Qingzhou waters.

Do we give chase?

The navy must not leave Qingzhou.

That is a military order.

We can't chase them.

What about Xu Fengnian?

He's still at the inn.

But he's packed his things.

Supposedly, he'll continue the trip east tomorrow.

Since it's a gift from the Prince,

you should keep it.

What about the note?

He called me his uncle after all.

Tomorrow,

you will go to the wetlands on my behalf

and see him off.

We must not cross the Prince of Beiliang.

Understood.

That little rascal, Xu Fengnian.

He's put himself and me into a corner.

Go and get the man from the prison.

Father.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Tomorrow, Xu Fengnian will be leaving.

It's not important whether Xu Fengnian wants to leave.

The point is whether Your Highness allows him to leave.

Last time, you said

you could kill him.

I have gathered the people

who could kill Xu Fengnian for Your Highness.

Not for me.

This is your own idea.

It has nothing to do with me.

Your Highness is right.

Killing Xu Fengnian

is a personal grudge.

It has nothing to do with Qingzhou.

Well then, kill him.

When and where should it be done?

Tomorrow afternoon.

At the wetlands outside the city.
