[Legend of Zang Hai]

4
00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:32,900
[Episode 9]

5
00:01:34,060 --> 00:01:36,100
[Zhen Tower]

6
00:02:06,510 --> 00:02:07,130
I knew.

7
00:02:07,150 --> 00:02:08,690
Anyone who leaves

8
00:02:08,690 --> 00:02:10,130
from the living imperial tomb

9
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,410
is not an ordinary man.

10
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,570
The Marquis of Pingjin is truly fortunate

11
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,220
to have you, a man

12
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,890
of rare political acumen, working for him.

13
00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:21,290
You flatter me.

14
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,260
I only served the Marquis

15
00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:24,730
for a few days.

16
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:26,060
I'm not very good at socializing,

17
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,170
but I appreciate your compliments.

18
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:28,610
Please

19
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,730
speak clearly.

20
00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:31,570
Very good.

21
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:33,730
So I'll get straight to the point.

22
00:02:36,190 --> 00:02:37,170
I am Xiang Antu,

23
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:38,850
owner of Zhen Tower.

24
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,730
I am Zang Hai. It's a pleasure, Miss Xiang.

25
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,010
This is our third meeting.

26
00:02:45,590 --> 00:02:46,780
Who knew?

27
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:48,610
You came to the Capital

28
00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:49,730
penniless.

29
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:50,940
But now,

30
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,980
you really became the Marquis

31
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:53,890
top advisor.

32
00:02:55,150 --> 00:02:57,060
In just a few months,

33
00:02:57,470 --> 00:02:58,690
you rose so fast.

34
00:02:59,430 --> 00:03:00,410
I'm really curious.

35
00:03:01,150 --> 00:03:02,010
What exactly

36
00:03:02,030 --> 00:03:03,130
you did

37
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,060
to appear out of nowhere

38
00:03:05,470 --> 00:03:06,850
overnight?

39
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:08,010
Oh,

40
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,220
It was nothing but luck.

41
00:03:12,910 --> 00:03:13,570
Let me be frank.

42
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,730
I admire your talent.

43
00:03:16,190 --> 00:03:17,780
We crossed paths more than once,

44
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,570
and I consider it destiny.

45
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,450
If you are willing to serve

46
00:03:21,470 --> 00:03:22,690
the Marquis of Pingjin,

47
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,010
why not consider becoming

48
00:03:24,190 --> 00:03:25,500
an honored guest of mine?

49
00:03:26,310 --> 00:03:28,450
Be it wealth or fame,

50
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,410
I can give you

51
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,060
everything he gives you.

52
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,660
you are trying to steal me

53
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:38,690
from the Marquis?

54
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:39,980
So what if I am?

55
00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:42,290
It's worth being friends with me.

56
00:03:48,310 --> 00:03:48,980
Forgive me.

57
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,170
I'm flattered

58
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,010
you think so highly of me.

59
00:03:53,430 --> 00:03:54,450
But as for us being friends,

60
00:03:55,710 --> 00:03:56,850
I am not worthy.

61
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:02,890
Last time at Zhen Tower,

62
00:04:03,190 --> 00:04:04,680
Yang Zhen, Qu Jiao,

63
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,290
and Chu Huaiming humiliated you.

64
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,540
I could have stood by and watched.

65
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,610
Do you know

66
00:04:09,630 --> 00:04:10,940
Why did I intervene?

67
00:04:11,630 --> 00:04:13,010
Because you are different from them.

68
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,020
You are not bad by nature.

69
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:19,900
That's why you should know this:

70
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,100
The Marquis was a general.

71
00:04:22,430 --> 00:04:23,930
He kills without hesitation

72
00:04:24,510 --> 00:04:25,460
and doesn't trust anyone.

73
00:04:26,190 --> 00:04:27,490
Working for him

74
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,220
will be

75
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,610
like dancing on the edge of a blade.

76
00:04:30,430 --> 00:04:31,460
Tell me,

77
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,550
why play with him

78
00:04:33,550 --> 00:04:34,540
and put your life at risk?

79
00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:36,460
You are a pearl cast in the dust.

80
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,930
It's a waste.

81
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:42,980
You overestimate me, Miss Xiang.

82
00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:45,350
I'm just

83
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:46,980
a grain of sand passing through a jewel.

84
00:04:47,870 --> 00:04:48,980
Everything I did

85
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,210
it was just

86
00:04:50,210 --> 00:04:51,570
to find a place to survive

87
00:04:51,870 --> 00:04:53,730
in this vast world.

88
00:04:55,430 --> 00:04:56,460
You say that,

89
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,020
but I don't believe his ambitions end there.

90
00:04:58,830 --> 00:05:00,290
you are trying to help him

91
00:05:00,310 --> 00:05:01,730
regain command of the army

92
00:05:02,190 --> 00:05:03,700
to prove your worth?

93
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,580
I always hope to do

94
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,050
what others cannot.

95
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:17,660
It seems like I was

96
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,730
wrong about you.

97
00:05:19,190 --> 00:05:20,730
You and the Marquis are the same kind of man.

98
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:22,460
In that case,

99
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,580
I won't press any further.

100
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,100
I wish you success and glory.

101
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:27,490
Thank you, Miss Xiang.

102
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:28,930
I'm going to say goodbye.

103
00:05:35,870 --> 00:05:37,250
But remember this:

104
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,610
Here in the Capital,

105
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,340
you will need the help of Zhen Tower

106
00:05:40,510 --> 00:05:41,570
much more

107
00:05:41,570 --> 00:05:42,490
than I'll need yours.

108
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,980
If you are in trouble and come for help,

109
00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:46,700
don't be embarrassed to think

110
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,170
of what you said today.

111
00:05:58,980 --> 00:06:02,180
[Zhen Tower]

112
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:12,220
I heard

113
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,930
Did he refuse your offer?

114
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:18,810
So this is Zang Hai, huh?

115
00:06:19,950 --> 00:06:21,250
He described himself as a man

116
00:06:21,250 --> 00:06:22,460
chasing fame and fortune.

117
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,370
And still

118
00:06:24,630 --> 00:06:25,220
he refused

119
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,460
your offer.

120
00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:28,220
Looks like he has some principles after all.

121
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:29,660
What is that?

122
00:06:32,070 --> 00:06:33,490
Don't you understand?

123
00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:35,680
He is determined to bet everything on the Marquis of Pingjin

124
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,960
to prove to the world

125
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,370
that he is not an ordinary man.

126
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,850
And that he can achieve greatness.

127
00:06:41,630 --> 00:06:42,490
What a shame.

128
00:06:44,750 --> 00:06:45,850
He's in their bad books now.

129
00:06:47,490 --> 00:06:48,970
With the Marquis's temperament,

130
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,780
if he ever regains military command,

131
00:06:51,190 --> 00:06:53,040
he will certainly lead another campaign for the borders.

132
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:56,110
Yang Zhen is a stingy man.

133
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,050
He is no threat.

134
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:58,900
But Zang Hai is different.

135
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:00,500
I don't want to see

136
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:01,820
a talent like him

137
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,290
under the command of the Marquis.

138
00:07:04,190 --> 00:07:05,140
So you want to get rid of it?

139
00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:08,730
"Good luck doesn't last forever.

140
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,100
Flowers don't bloom all year round."

141
00:07:10,830 --> 00:07:11,920
He could be the Marquis

142
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:12,900
top advisor now,

143
00:07:13,270 --> 00:07:15,370
but with all the matters that come your way,

144
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,310
he can easily

145
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:18,100
slip

146
00:07:18,630 --> 00:07:20,460
and lose the Marquis's favor.

147
00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:25,900
Mr.

148
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:28,490
Mr. Zang, you are back.

149
00:07:30,190 --> 00:07:31,050
Who are these?

150
00:07:31,550 --> 00:07:33,350
These are all gifts from outside the household.

151
00:07:33,630 --> 00:07:34,700
They are for you.

152
00:07:35,950 --> 00:07:36,660
Now that you are

153
00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:38,810
favored by the Marquis,

154
00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:41,340
everyone is running to win favors

155
00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:42,410
with you.

156
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:44,490
Look,

157
00:07:45,390 --> 00:07:47,490
a jade belt hook carved with dragons and clouds.

158
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,780
Look at the quality and finish.

159
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,290
It's the best of the best.

160
00:07:51,950 --> 00:07:52,930
Come, take a look at this too.

161
00:07:53,630 --> 00:07:54,580
Go ahead. Unroll it.

162
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:55,930
"Peacocks and a Medlar"

163
00:07:56,390 --> 00:07:59,340
by Cui Zixi of the Song Dynasty.

164
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,610
One look and you know it's genuine.

165
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:02,850
To look.

166
00:08:02,850 --> 00:08:03,460
[A humble gift. May it bring joy.]

167
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,610
See those leaves and feathers?

168
00:08:05,950 --> 00:08:07,780
[Note with gift]
So exquisite.

169
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,100
Absolutely elegant.

170
00:08:11,630 --> 00:08:12,220
Lord,

171
00:08:12,830 --> 00:08:13,780
why none of these notes

172
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:14,790
Do you have names attached?

173
00:08:17,510 --> 00:08:18,170
Well...

174
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,100
Take them all inside.

175
00:08:26,510 --> 00:08:27,810
Sir, you must not know.

176
00:08:28,510 --> 00:08:29,660
These are what we call “reciprocal gifts”.

177
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:31,370
It's an unwritten rule

178
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,770
here in the Capital.

179
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,420
Even if you want to return them,

180
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,980
you won't know who to send them back to.

181
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:38,580
And when they

182
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,580
I need my help,

183
00:08:39,790 --> 00:08:41,490
they will come and admit that they sent the gifts.

184
00:08:43,670 --> 00:08:44,580
Wise as ever, sir.

185
00:08:45,910 --> 00:08:46,730
Does the Marquis know?

186
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:48,850
Of course,

187
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,770
or you wouldn't have seen them here.

188
00:08:51,150 --> 00:08:52,490
Did he say anything?

189
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,820
He doesn't care about these things.

190
00:08:55,510 --> 00:08:56,060
Since

191
00:08:56,150 --> 00:08:57,700
the gifts are intended for you,

192
00:08:57,910 --> 00:08:58,530
you can

193
00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:59,580
deal with them

194
00:08:59,870 --> 00:09:00,650
as you see fit.

195
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:02,890
I see.

196
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,220
So I will accept them.

197
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,250
Did he accept the gifts?

198
00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:09,490
Yes, my Lord.

199
00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:11,770
You explained

200
00:09:11,770 --> 00:09:12,980
What is a "reciprocal gift"?

201
00:09:13,750 --> 00:09:14,420
I did.

202
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,100
And he knew

203
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:18,220
who accept those gifts

204
00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:20,370
it meant owing favors to those who sent them.

205
00:09:24,140 --> 00:09:31,450
[Marquis of Pingjin's Mansion]

206
00:09:31,450 --> 00:09:32,410
Thank you...

207
00:09:32,410 --> 00:09:33,150
Here you go.

208
00:09:33,150 --> 00:09:33,720
What is happening?

209
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,060
- Someone is distributing porridge. - Here, take it.

210
00:09:36,550 --> 00:09:37,690
- Thanks. - The Marquis is so kind.

211
00:09:38,820 --> 00:09:39,700
Come back if you need more.

212
00:09:39,810 --> 00:09:40,530
- Here. - Thanks.

213
00:09:40,550 --> 00:09:41,530
Careful. It's hot. Hold tight.

214
00:09:42,030 --> 00:09:42,460
Here.

215
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,580
Thank you sir.

216
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:44,340
There's more if you need it.

217
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:44,820
Little one,

218
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:45,850
- here you are. - Thanks.

219
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,180
- Take care. It's hot. - Thanks.

220
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:47,890
Thank you very much.

221
00:09:48,010 --> 00:09:48,690
Thanks.

222
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,060
Here you go.

223
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:51,940
Here.

224
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:53,610
Thanks.

225
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,390
Thanks.

226
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:55,670
Here.

227
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:56,830
Thanks.

228
00:09:59,020 --> 00:09:59,360
Thanks.

229
00:10:00,210 --> 00:10:01,200
- Here it is. - Thanks.

230
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,220
Greetings, my Lord.

231
00:10:02,220 --> 00:10:03,230
The Marquis is so kind.

232
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,390
Next.

233
00:10:04,390 --> 00:10:05,420
What are you doing?

234
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:07,090
Take care. It's hot.

235
00:10:07,090 --> 00:10:07,630
All good.

236
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:08,300
My Lord,

237
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:09,880
I received

238
00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:11,010
some reciprocal gifts yesterday.

239
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,490
This weighed heavily on me,

240
00:10:12,820 --> 00:10:13,750
so I converted the gifts

241
00:10:13,970 --> 00:10:14,830
in grains

242
00:10:15,030 --> 00:10:16,180
and gave out

243
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:17,380
in your name

244
00:10:17,380 --> 00:10:18,330
for the common people in difficulty.

245
00:10:22,270 --> 00:10:23,490
The Marquis is here!

246
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,460
The Marquis is here!

247
00:10:26,390 --> 00:10:27,770
Thank you for your grace!

248
00:10:27,870 --> 00:10:29,460
Thank you for your kindness!

249
00:10:29,790 --> 00:10:31,610
Thank you for your grace!

250
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,300
We will never forget...

251
00:10:34,820 --> 00:10:35,450
Thank you, my Lord!

252
00:10:35,450 --> 00:10:37,530
Your great kindness!

253
00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:38,420
Thank you, my Lord!

254
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:40,130
- All good. - Thank you for your grace!

255
00:10:40,130 --> 00:10:41,530
The Marquis is distributing porridge

256
00:10:41,870 --> 00:10:43,820
so that everyone can eat at their leisure.

257
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:44,940
So go ahead.

258
00:10:45,390 --> 00:10:46,980
Thank you, my Lord!

259
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,370
Thanks!

260
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,490
Let's get porridge!

261
00:10:50,510 --> 00:10:52,370
Let's go. Let's go.

262
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,200
There's enough for everyone!

263
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,580
I acted on my own.

264
00:10:56,150 --> 00:10:57,130
Please forgive me, my Lord.

265
00:11:00,910 --> 00:11:01,770
Zang Hai,

266
00:11:02,910 --> 00:11:04,060
I'm impressed.

267
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,300
You handled it well.

268
00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:06,820
I underestimated you.

269
00:11:06,950 --> 00:11:08,290
- That's enough. - Thanks.

270
00:11:08,390 --> 00:11:08,890
My Lord,

271
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,300
I'm flattered.

272
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,060
I always had in mind

273
00:11:12,270 --> 00:11:13,340
that I serve you.

274
00:11:13,670 --> 00:11:15,460
But those gifts were very extravagant.

275
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:16,890
If I had accepted them,

276
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,300
you would be indebted to those who sent them.

277
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,460
What did I do today

278
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,030
should be enough

279
00:11:23,550 --> 00:11:24,690
to stop more from coming.

280
00:11:24,870 --> 00:11:25,530
If they send more,

281
00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:26,730
just get them.

282
00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:28,970
Or do you think

283
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:29,980
I can't deal

284
00:11:30,670 --> 00:11:31,820
some favors?

285
00:11:32,670 --> 00:11:33,650
I would never think that.

286
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,250
After finishing the porridge,

287
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,100
go to my study

288
00:11:37,270 --> 00:11:38,370
and take "Wei Liao's Art of War".

289
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:40,250
If you're going to follow me,

290
00:11:40,510 --> 00:11:41,890
you will need to read more than Confucian texts.

291
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,730
Start studying military strategy too.

292
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:45,850
Yes, my Lord.

293
00:11:58,720 --> 00:11:59,680
Congratulations, Mr. Zang!

294
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,100
The Marquis has just

295
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,120
granted to you

296
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,530
free access

297
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:05,980
for your study.

298
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,490
Tea tastes better when brewed

299
00:12:24,910 --> 00:12:26,650
in this jade teapot.

300
00:12:27,510 --> 00:12:28,980
If you like it, keep it.

301
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,490
There won't be another one anyway.

302
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,270
After what happened yesterday,

303
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,700
The word spread throughout the Capital.

304
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,490
And no one brought

305
00:12:35,510 --> 00:12:36,300
any gift today.

306
00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:37,850
Gifts...

307
00:12:37,870 --> 00:12:39,490
Whether you accept it or not, it leads to problems.

308
00:12:40,270 --> 00:12:40,980
Turn them face down,

309
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,530
and you seem arrogant

310
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:43,700
and invite suspicion.

311
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:45,180
But I can't just take them too.

312
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,650
Yang Zhen has served the Marquis for over a decade.

313
00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:49,530
The Marquis knows him

314
00:12:49,550 --> 00:12:50,530
from the inside out.

315
00:12:51,270 --> 00:12:53,100
Yang can accept gifts as he wishes,

316
00:12:53,790 --> 00:12:54,730
but I can't.

317
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,180
Exactly.

318
00:12:56,790 --> 00:12:57,890
All eyes

319
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:58,770
are in you now.

320
00:13:00,150 --> 00:13:00,850
Anyway,

321
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:02,690
you chose

322
00:13:02,690 --> 00:13:04,030
all this quickly.

323
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,660
Who taught you this?

324
00:13:07,380 --> 00:13:08,870
You did, of course.

325
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,890
Master, have you ever been

326
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,770
in politics yourself?

327
00:13:13,750 --> 00:13:14,860
Let's just say this:

328
00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:16,780
Back when I was

329
00:13:16,780 --> 00:13:18,080
making waves in the world,

330
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:18,820
you were still busy

331
00:13:18,820 --> 00:13:19,970
playing in the mud.

332
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,180
There's one thing I didn't expect:

333
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,100
The brain behind the famous Zhen Tower

334
00:13:28,630 --> 00:13:29,700
it's actually

335
00:13:30,390 --> 00:13:31,820
that beautiful young lady.

336
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,490
She set me up in the beginning,

337
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,370
but then he took me out of danger,

338
00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:37,920
and now she wants me

339
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,490
to turn against the Marquis and join her.

340
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:40,940
And she made you

341
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,130
a generous offer,

342
00:13:42,390 --> 00:13:43,460
which you refused.

343
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,100
She is more than she seems.

344
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,300
She is smart

345
00:13:48,550 --> 00:13:49,250
and ingenious,

346
00:13:49,510 --> 00:13:50,580
but she doesn't seem like a bad person.

347
00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:53,340
Zang Hai really touched

348
00:13:53,630 --> 00:13:55,060
this hand beautifully.

349
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,060
The poor throughout the capital

350
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,420
I now owe him a debt of gratitude.

351
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,490
Not only did he do

352
00:14:00,630 --> 00:14:02,300
kill any hope of bribing you,

353
00:14:02,910 --> 00:14:04,650
but he also managed to gain the admiration of the Marquis.

354
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:10,700
You have been deceived.

355
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,100
That smile...

356
00:14:21,670 --> 00:14:23,420
Zang Hai is going through a difficult time, isn't he?

357
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,010
Do something for me.

358
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,100
What now?

359
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,250
When the news comes from Mr. Eight,

360
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,770
all Capital believes this.

361
00:14:32,270 --> 00:14:33,370
Spread some stuff for me.

362
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:34,340
What kinds of things?

363
00:14:39,630 --> 00:14:40,420
No chance.

364
00:14:40,870 --> 00:14:42,130
I only speak the truth.

365
00:14:42,130 --> 00:14:42,820
I don't start rumors.

366
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,700
You make a living outside of Zhen Tower.

367
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:45,610
How dare you say no?

368
00:14:45,630 --> 00:14:46,490
Will you help me or not?

369
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:47,610
No.

370
00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:52,240
Last time when you gossiped about the Dowager Empress

371
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,370
and caught the attention of the disguised guards,

372
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:54,940
Wasn't it me who got you out of trouble?

373
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,260
But I only did this to help Zhen Tower

374
00:14:58,260 --> 00:14:59,300
earn more money.

375
00:15:02,270 --> 00:15:02,940
So how about that?

376
00:15:03,390 --> 00:15:04,770
From now on, I'll give you an extra cut

377
00:15:04,770 --> 00:15:05,730
of ticket sales.

378
00:15:09,870 --> 00:15:11,250
Just help me this once,

379
00:15:11,270 --> 00:15:12,010
Could you?

380
00:15:12,030 --> 00:15:12,580
Come on.

381
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,130
Please?

382
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:16,730
So let's be clear.

383
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:17,820
Just this once.

384
00:15:18,030 --> 00:15:19,180
Just once this year.

385

Where did you get these tools?

575
00:33:15,590 --> 00:33:16,380
None of your concern.

576
00:33:19,070 --> 00:33:19,860
So tell me.

577
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,810
Why do you need to get close to the Marquis?

578
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:23,330
You're about to die anyway.

579
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:24,700
I might as well tell you.

580
00:33:26,110 --> 00:33:27,250
I want to get close to him

581
00:33:28,550 --> 00:33:29,860
so I can kill you

582
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:31,460
and avenge my master.

583
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:32,660
Your master?

584
00:33:33,510 --> 00:33:34,730
Isn't he here?

585
00:33:36,590 --> 00:33:37,380
I'm not talking about him.

586
00:33:38,830 --> 00:33:39,370
I'm revenge

587
00:33:39,370 --> 00:33:40,330
the death of my true master.

588
00:33:42,270 --> 00:33:43,570
And who was that?

589
00:33:45,110 --> 00:33:45,660
Enough.

590
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:46,980
Stop stalling.

591
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:48,810
You are dying today no matter what.

592
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:52,810
Right!

593
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:54,380
If I'm dying today,

594
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:55,940
at least listen to me.

595
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,620
If you want my face,

596
00:33:59,460 --> 00:34:01,030
picking only the skin above the neck

597
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:02,740
it won't work.

598
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,480
I bet you didn't know that.

599
00:34:06,110 --> 00:34:07,250
The skin of the neck, chest,

600
00:34:07,590 --> 00:34:09,460
and back everything is connected.

601
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:10,900
One slip,

602
00:34:11,070 --> 00:34:12,260
and you'll tear the whole thing apart.

603
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,300
If you want a clean cut,

604
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,490
you have to start from the back.

605
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:18,490
Shut up.

606
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:19,540
Spare me the lecture.

607
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:20,820
Of course I know that.

608
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,010
I was just testing the angle.

609
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:25,260
Take him out.

610
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:25,640
Hurry.

611
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:34,820
What's wrong?

612
00:34:36,710 --> 00:34:37,380
Scars.

613
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,460
Then?

614
00:34:39,630 --> 00:34:41,380
We just need his face.

615
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:44,780
I'm going to knock him out now.

616
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:45,460
Wait!

617
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:48,380
How did you get those scars?

618
00:34:50,210 --> 00:34:51,410
I got them

619
00:34:52,030 --> 00:34:52,900
to be whipped

620
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,030
like a child.

621
00:34:57,230 --> 00:34:58,780
My father was in Dongxia then.

622
00:34:59,550 --> 00:35:00,530
My older brother

623
00:35:00,550 --> 00:35:01,490
applied the medicine to me.

624
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:03,260
But the wounds were deep.

625
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,300
They didn't heal properly.

626
00:35:05,190 --> 00:35:06,620
Later, a master

627
00:35:06,710 --> 00:35:08,130
helped fix them.

628
00:35:09,390 --> 00:35:10,350
Why fix them?

629
00:35:11,190 --> 00:35:12,490
Because me too,

630
00:35:12,490 --> 00:35:13,760
There's a blood feud to resolve.

631
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:30,650
You are...?

632
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,260
When my older brother was three years old,

633
00:35:35,070 --> 00:35:36,980
my father welcomed him as a disciple.

634
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:39,490
Like children,

635
00:35:39,510 --> 00:35:40,560
we would climb the mountains together

636
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:41,930
to inspect the land and collect herbs.

637
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,210
We even skipped classes and were punished together.

638
00:35:45,510 --> 00:35:46,530
Whenever I got into trouble,

639
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,610
I would make him take the blame.

640
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:50,530
I was always playing tricks on him.

641
00:35:58,230 --> 00:35:58,980
Once,

642
00:36:01,490 --> 00:36:03,090
he was punished

643
00:36:03,090 --> 00:36:04,300
and sent to the back mountain,

644
00:36:06,030 --> 00:36:08,380
so he couldn't die with his master,

645
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,130
and he continued to drag out his days. Is that right?

646
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:16,530
He was not the most talented disciple,

647
00:36:17,590 --> 00:36:18,690
but he was the only one

648
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,010
My father cared the most.

649
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:22,520
If dad knew

650
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:23,260
he was still alive,

651
00:36:24,190 --> 00:36:25,590
he would be very happy.

652
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,090
The father called him Guanfeng,
[*watching the wind]

653
00:36:31,630 --> 00:36:34,300
hoping he would live freely

654
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,490
like the breeze itself.

655
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:42,690
I am Guan Feng.

656
00:36:46,070 --> 00:36:48,130
I am Guanfeng.

657
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:49,340
I am Guan Feng!

658
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:51,900
It's really you, Zhinu!

659
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:53,460
You are alive!

660
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:55,530
Zhinu,

661
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:58,300
I'm so glad you're alive.

662
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:00,980
That's all that matters.

663
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:18,490
That's all

664
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:19,650
this happened.

665
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:22,610
So

666
00:37:23,070 --> 00:37:24,300
You've had your face changed.

667
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,460
No wonder I didn't recognize you.

668
00:37:28,510 --> 00:37:29,010
You are not

669
00:37:29,030 --> 00:37:30,210
that chubby kid from back then too.

670
00:37:35,230 --> 00:37:36,610
We have both changed a lot.

671
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,530
That young master of yours...

672
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:48,650
Can he really be trusted?

673
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,090
He is an orphan from outside the Capital.

674
00:37:52,870 --> 00:37:53,710
He is dedicated to his training.

675
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:55,460
We've known each other for years.

676
00:37:56,110 --> 00:37:56,740
He would

677
00:37:57,150 --> 00:37:58,900
risk your life to help me get revenge.

678
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:00,420
You can trust him.

679
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:01,860
But hey,

680
00:38:03,230 --> 00:38:04,610
he is not my true master.

681
00:38:07,710 --> 00:38:08,940
It looks like you have

682
00:38:09,030 --> 00:38:10,570
He went through a lot too.

683
00:38:12,550 --> 00:38:13,340
Tell me everything.

684
00:38:21,070 --> 00:38:21,860
That day,

685
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:23,900
The lady sent me to the mountain

686
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,420
to chop wood and reflect on my mistakes.

687
00:38:28,510 --> 00:38:29,340
Just after dark,

688
00:38:29,670 --> 00:38:30,460
I saw the Master

689
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:31,650
return from the southwest.

690
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:33,210
I thought

691
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:34,380
You can be happy

692
00:38:34,590 --> 00:38:35,900
to see you at home...

693
00:38:36,150 --> 00:38:37,570
- Master... - And go easy on me.

694
00:38:37,570 --> 00:38:38,230
Master...

695
00:38:38,230 --> 00:38:39,650
- Master... - Then I ran down the mountain.

696
00:38:42,820 --> 00:38:43,920
But when I was almost home,

697
00:38:44,190 --> 00:38:45,630
I heard screams.

698
00:38:46,190 --> 00:38:47,760
A group of people were guarding the residence,

699
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:48,970
and they were armed with swords.

700
00:38:49,630 --> 00:38:50,980
I hid immediately.

701
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:55,060
So

702
00:38:55,550 --> 00:38:56,620
I saw someone

703
00:38:56,620 --> 00:38:57,460
leave.

704
00:38:58,190 --> 00:38:59,380
It was the Marquis of Pingjin.

705
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:01,980
Then I saw the Master and Mistress

706
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,170
being carried out by his men.

707
00:39:04,070 --> 00:39:04,860
I was terrified.

708
00:39:05,670 --> 00:39:06,900
I didn't know what had happened.

709
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,010
After they all left,

710
00:39:09,550 --> 00:39:10,610
I ran home.

711
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,050
But the fire had already spread.

712
00:39:12,190 --> 00:39:12,820
I couldn't get in.

713
00:39:13,030 --> 00:39:13,740
Help!

714
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:14,980
Fire!

715
00:39:15,510 --> 00:39:17,200
Uncle Li, help me put out the fire!

716
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:18,650
I ran to ask the neighbors for help,

717
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:20,980
but when I entered your house,

718
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:22,610
all I saw were bodies.

719
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:37,900
After that,

720
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,380
I ended up on the streets,

721
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,260
living day to day.

722
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:43,570
But all this time,

723
00:39:44,030 --> 00:39:44,780
I held

724
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,210
for the set of eight lancets that the Master gave me,

725
00:39:47,590 --> 00:39:48,650
swearing

726
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,210
to get revenge one day.

727
00:39:54,070 --> 00:39:55,010
Two loaves, please.

728
00:39:55,030 --> 00:39:55,610
Right now.

729
00:39:59,400 --> 00:39:59,940
Here you go.

730
00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:00,650
Thanks.

731
00:40:26,630 --> 00:40:27,130
Sir.

732
00:40:27,630 --> 00:40:28,250
Arriving!

733
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:29,200
I'm paying for a bagel.

734
00:40:29,510 --> 00:40:30,470
Thank you very much.

735
00:40:32,190 --> 00:40:32,900
Go ahead and eat.

736
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:34,170
That day,

737
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:35,460
I met Shilei

738
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:36,530
and Kaizhen Sanren.

739
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:37,980
They welcomed me,

740
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:39,860
and Shilei became my new master.

741
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:43,860
After Kaizhen Sanren passed away,

742
00:40:45,230 --> 00:40:46,340
Shilei and me

743
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:47,340
they depended on each other for survival.

744
00:40:49,670 --> 00:40:51,090
But there's one thing

745
00:40:51,710 --> 00:40:53,130
I never let go:

746
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:55,300
revenge.

747
00:40:56,150 --> 00:40:57,130
Then later,

748
00:40:57,630 --> 00:40:58,900
I found a way

749
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,340
at the Marquis's mansion as an assistant.

750
00:41:01,590 --> 00:41:02,300
Shame on me.

751
00:41:03,660 --> 00:41:04,670
After all these years,

752
00:41:04,670 --> 00:41:05,490
I still haven't managed

753
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,300
get close to him.

754
00:41:08,150 --> 00:41:08,900
But fortunately,

755
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:10,740
you are here now.

756
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:12,780
We will take it down together.

757
00:41:14,670 --> 00:41:15,560
You are the Marquis

758
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:16,420
best advisor now.

759
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:17,860
You have

760
00:41:18,190 --> 00:41:18,940
a plan to make a move?

761
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,010
In fact, before you two, someone else

762
00:41:23,010 --> 00:41:24,420
He tried to make me kill the Marquis.

763
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,590
I was about to take the risk,

764
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:28,980
but then you captured me.

765
00:41:31,230 --> 00:41:32,900
So this is the person you said threatened you?

766
00:41:33,110 --> 00:41:33,860
Who could it be?

767
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,490
I'm not sure yet.

768
00:41:39,110 --> 00:41:39,650
But

769
00:41:40,110 --> 00:41:41,300
it doesn't matter anymore.

770
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,690
I'm going to kill the Marquis anyway.

771
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:48,280
Previously you mentioned

772
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:49,570
there was something crucial.

773
00:41:49,630 --> 00:41:50,130
What is it?

774
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:51,980
The Marquis of Pingjin

775
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,530
killed so many people in our family

776
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,170
because he was after something

777
00:41:55,190 --> 00:41:56,090
my father brought it back

778
00:41:56,110 --> 00:41:56,980
from Dongxia.

779
00:41:57,630 --> 00:41:58,740
But he never found it.

780
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:00,210
Father must have

781
00:42:00,230 --> 00:42:01,570
hidden beforehand.

782
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:03,820
But I can't figure it out

783
00:42:04,030 --> 00:42:05,260
where could he have hidden it.

784
00:42:09,590 --> 00:42:10,690
Did he hide something?

785
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,180
Where could it be?

786
00:42:15,630 --> 00:42:16,940
didn't you just say

787
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:17,870
that when my father

788
00:42:17,870 --> 00:42:18,610
returned from Dongxia,

789
00:42:18,710 --> 00:42:19,690
Did he come from the southwest?

790
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:22,100
Normally,

791
00:42:22,100 --> 00:42:23,380
he must have come from the northeast.

792
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,050
If he came from the southwest,

793
00:42:25,070 --> 00:42:26,170
he must have made a big detour.

794
00:42:27,630 --> 00:42:28,640
do you think he

795
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:29,780
took that route

796
00:42:29,780 --> 00:42:30,490
to hide the thing?

797
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:33,940
When we were little,

798
00:42:34,150 --> 00:42:34,990
he didn't used to take us

799
00:42:34,990 --> 00:42:36,300
to the mountains there for classes?

800
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:38,420
But I

801
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:40,940
I only remember a few mountains in that area.

802
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:42,940
Where do you think

803
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:43,900
Could he have hidden it?

804
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,050
It must be somewhere hard to find.

805
00:42:49,150 --> 00:42:49,860
Liu Xian's Tomb.

806
00:42:50,190 --> 00:42:51,130
Before going to Dongxia,

807
00:42:51,150 --> 00:42:52,380
he took me to that tomb once.

808
00:42:53,230 --> 00:42:54,050
Right.

809
00:42:54,510 --> 00:42:55,010
What better place

810
00:42:55,030 --> 00:42:55,860
to hide it

811
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:56,940
