I've never seen Young Lord this weak. 207 00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:42,440 - How about I go to Plough Nation now to invite Mr. Zong over? - Don't panic first. 208 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,550 I've already used my internal energy to treat him. I just couldn't tell if it's an injury or poison? 209 00:20:46,550 --> 00:20:50,290 We've encountered this once while in Plough Nation, but he wouldn't say a thing. 210 00:20:50,290 --> 00:20:53,200 Then...what about Mr. Zong? He was in Plough Nation too. 211 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,620 He indeed knew more than I do, but he couldn't do anything. 212 00:20:58,170 --> 00:21:01,230 What about Empress Yuan? How many were the assassins? 213 00:21:01,230 --> 00:21:06,330 - They said that there were 2 groups.

They were able to abduct Empress Yuan with accurate timing. 215 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,800 It means that they are from this palace. 216 00:21:16,770 --> 00:21:18,530 Who could it be? 217 00:21:19,650 --> 00:21:23,860 This...I also dare not make rash conclusions. 218 00:21:24,410 --> 00:21:26,060 But... 219 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,560 Prince Virtue. 220 00:21:31,540 --> 00:21:34,630 That is also what I think. I got intel from outside the palace 221 00:21:34,630 --> 00:21:37,160 that the assassins went northward after leaving the palace and left the city very quickly. 222 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,290 They probably are heading to the rebel army garrison in the north bank of the river. I fear that... 223 00:21:40,290 --> 00:21:43,670 ...they will be using Empress as a hostage and blackmail Crown Prince to surrender without fighting. 224 00:22:04,610 --> 00:22:07,100 - Young Lord, you must not! - Get out of the way. 225 00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:08,900 Young Lord...you must not. 226 00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:11,770 If you leave the Imperial City, that's falling into their trick. 227 00:22:11,770 --> 00:22:16,880 You clearly know that Prince Virtue's main target is you.
