Braveness of the Ming

Episode 01

I have long heard of
Squire Xie's great reputation.

It's truly an honor
to have the chance to visit you today.

You flatter me.

How could he be here?

This... this... Shaobing Girl...

Madam, please, have a seat.

Chuanzhong specifically ordered people
to prepare Jiangnan cuisine.

Please try it and see if it suits your taste.

Squire Xie, you are too thoughtful.

Squire Xie,

who is this?

This is a senior member of my clan.

I am a descendant of
Xie clan of Chen Commandery.

According to Xie clan's genealogy,

Madam belongs to the 'Yu' generation,
while I am of the 'Chuan' generation.

Madam is of the same generation
as my grandfather.

So, Squire Xie, you are a descendant
of Xie clan of Chen Commandery.

My apologies.

My apologies.

You are too kind.

Madam Xie...

Since Madam Xie is from Jiangnan,

you must have traveled a long way.

The journey must have been tiring.

Thank you for your concern. Everything is fine.

Madam Xie,

are you accustomed to the food in Beiping?

I've heard Beiping Shaobing has a unique flavor.

Have you had a chance to try them?

Shaobing?

Could it be that people from Jiangnan

also have a particular fondness
for this common snack?

Madam,

shall I prepare some for you?

I am feeling somewhat unwell today,

so I will retire to my room first.
Please continue.

Attendant!

Instruct the kitchen
to prepare some light congee

and deliver it to Madam's room.

Squire Xie,

she is probably suffering from travel fatigue.

I've heard that drinking this kind of tea

can soothe the nerves and relieve greasiness.

Isn't there a teahouse near the Xie residence?

Tomorrow, I will go have a cup.

If Madam Xie has time,
you could also go for a cup.

What a small world!

This is really infuriating!

What are those two doing here?

Talking about going for tea...

Squire Xie,

regarding the matter I requested earlier,

I wonder what you think?

Regarding the matter of
transporting goods through customs,

I am certainly willing to help.

May I ask what goods
you two intend to transport?

Furs, animal sinews, and such items,
about a hundred carts.

Furs and animal sinews are not ordinary goods!

I would not want to touch these things
and get into trouble!

Squire Xie, there is no need to feel pressured.
You can take a few more days to consider it.

We're well aware that
this deal is not easy to handle.

However, we are also acting
on behalf of our master.

The orders have come down from above.

We dare not disobey.

May I ask which esteemed person
you two are working for?

Prince Qi.

Prince Qi?

Please allow me some time to consider this.

Of course.

We especially came to visit you today.

We also know that
Squire Xie is incredibly resourceful.

But whether you help with this matter or not,

Squire Xie, that is entirely your decision.

Xia,

yesterday, when I saw that Shaobing Girl,

I was truly startled.

Tell me, do you believe
she's really from Chen Commandery Xie clan?

Do you believe it?

Chen Commandery Xie clan was prominent for
over 10 generations across several dynasties.

They were the second largest clan
in Jiangnan, known to everyone.

However, since Tang and Song dynasties,
they have fallen into decline.

To say she is a descendant of Xie clan

is not necessarily impossible.

That logic makes sense.

But if she is truly from the main family,

and has such a wealthy grandnephew,

why would she be reduced
to such straits every day,

eating Shaobing and pickled vegetables,

even pawning her clothes for travel expenses?

This is indeed utterly perplexing.

You don't need to figure it out.

Yesterday, I set a bait.

If she has something to hide,

she will definitely come to me on her own.

I remember now.

Yesterday, you deliberately suggested
going to the teahouse.

On the surface, it was to taste tea,

but in reality, it was to wait for
the rabbit to come to the tree.

If she has something to hide,

what she fears most is us
telling Xie Chuanzhong about

everything we witnessed along the way.

Rather than that, it would be better for her
to take the initiative to remedy the situation.

Tanghulu!

Take care, guest,
come again next time!

Please come inside!

Isn't she here now?

Ximen,

please step aside for a moment.

I will sound her out.

Xia, you want to
keep all the spoils for yourself?

That's not very considerate. How could I?

Madam Xie, what a coincidence!

I heard from my grandnephew Xie Chuanzhong that

you two came here this time

to do business with him.

You may have fooled him, but you can't fool me.

You are using a false identity.

What exactly are you plotting
against my Xie family?

My identity is fake,

but my true identity is...

Squire Xie should know.

Could it be that Squire Xie didn't tell you?

By the way, Madam Xie,
what brings you to Beiping?

What is your purpose here?

Stop sarcastically calling me
'Madam' all the time.

My name is Xie Yufei,

and I'm indeed a descendant of
Xie clan of Chen Commandery.

Our Xie family is now sparse in numbers.

Since Xie Chuanzhong came seeking relatives,

I came to investigate.

If his identity is confirmed,

he can be recognized by his ancestors
and recorded in the family register.

What's the problem with that?

I understand now.

You are not a member of Xie clan at all.

It's just that Squire Xie is wealthy

and wants a respectable background.

So, you impersonated Xie clan of Chen Commandery

to swindle money from him.

You're really clever.

You tricked me.

What did I trick you about?

Yesterday,

at the dinner table,
you deliberately gave me that look,

making me think you might have known something.

Then, you used drinking tea
as an excuse to lure me out,

making me reveal my flaws, didn't you?

Exactly.

I had no idea who you were.

That day, I just gave you a look.

Who knew it?

If you had nothing to hide,
you wouldn't have cared.

But what a pity! You came looking for me.

I am open and aboveboard.
What do I have to hide?

If you have nothing to hide,

was it just because of my look

that you became infatuated with me?

Today, you came to find me to be affectionate,

wanting to share tender moments with me.

You... don't push your luck!

Don't be angry. It's your own guilty conscience

that made you come to clarify things with me.

Actually, what you do

doesn't concern me at all.

Really?

Really.

Then how can I trust you?

How about...

You pledge yourself to me?

You dare to mock me?

I don't dare.

I'm afraid you'll sell me out.

I don't care if Xie Chuanzhong knows

your true identity,

but I know

your identity is still something to hide.

I warn you

if you say even half a word against me,

I will immediately report you to the authorities

for using a fake travel permit.

I'm not afraid of anyone checking up on me.

Don't worry, Miss Xie.

Good.

Then you go your way, and I'll go mine.

We'll each mind our own business,
and stay out of each other's affairs.

Agreed.

Actually, you're not afraid of Squire Xie.

And you're not impersonating a descendant
of the Chen Commandery Xie clan either.

What you're really afraid of
is others finding out

that a descendant of a once-great family

now

has been reduced to utter poverty,
with no roof over your head,

and even resorts to swindling to survive,
am I right?

Shut your mouth!

Miss Xie,

the world is constantly changing.

A family's decline isn't something
you alone are responsible for.

I advise you to...

The affairs of our Xie family
are none of your concern!

Serves his right!

That Miss Xie is really something.

So, did you find out anything?

Nothing important. It's her personal business.

It has nothing to do with our main task.

We don't need to bother with it.

So,

she really is a descendant of
Chen Commandery Xie clan?

That seems to be the case.

As the old poem says, 'Swallows that once
graced the halls of noble families,'

'now fly into the homes of common folk.'

She has her own hardships. Let's not interfere.

Madam, you're back!

Mrs. Xie just bought some southern fruits.

[Xie's Mansion]

Xia,

I have shipped countless goods in my lifetime,

but someone purchasing such a vast quantity
of supplies at once like you

is truly unprecedented.

I know my request is excessive,

but it's only due to special circumstances.

May I ask how Squire Xie is considering it?

Well... this puts me
in a rather difficult position.

Since you find it so troublesome,

then I will certainly not insist.

Xia, wait!

I haven't finished speaking.

As the saying goes,

'To cut off someone's livelihood
is akin to killing their parents.'

Since you are a man of the Prince Qi,

I would naturally make an exception to help.

So, does that mean Squire Xie agrees?

I am happy to help.

However, this deal is quite risky.

As long as you promise to get this done for me,

the reward afterwards

will definitely not disappoint you.

Then I'll have to rely on your assistance.

Not at all, we're all on the same side.

By the way,

Xia, you came from
the direction of Qingzhou, right?

I heard...

something happened to Yang family,
a gentry family in Qingzhou.

Young Master Yang's book boy
was killed by an assassin.

How did Squire Xie learn about this?

I did business with Yang family last year.

At that time, I didn't meet Young Master Yang,

but I did see that book boy, named Zhang Shisan.

As far as I know,

that book boy named Zhang Shisan

died from a sudden illness.

As for the assassination,

it's probably just some rumors
circulating in the martial world.

I see.

Well, since there's nothing else,

I will take my leave now.

Xia, wait a moment.

Last time we met, it was quite sudden,

and I didn't have time to prepare.

This is a fine fox fur I prepared,

a gift for you.

Squire Xie, you are too kind.

I value business second and making friends first.

It's just a small token of my appreciation.

Alright, then I'll accept it.

Xia, let me see you to the door.

Squire Xie, please stay here.
I'll take my leave.

Fine, I won't see you out then.

Wait a moment.

Miss Xie, do you need something from me?

Last time... that... that book boy, he...

What book boy?

It's...

it's that one surnamed Zhang, that book boy.

That day, to save me,

you...

So...

you still remember?

Of course I remember.

Did you think I was the kind of person

who would forget a favor and be ungrateful?

Is that so?

Then tell me, how are you going to repay me?

I will repay you.

Here, take this. This is my life-saving money.

Just three copper coins?

What's wrong?

Three copper coins are enough
for a poor person to have a meal.

You're not worth that much.

You're only worth one copper coin!

You... what did you say?

I... I'm only worth one copper coin?

Are you even a merchant?

Do you even know how to do business?

Since you're a merchant, then tell me,

how much can a piece of
fox fur like this sell for?

I didn't expect you, Miss Xie,
coming from a noble family,

to be interested in the fur business.

If you don't want to say it, then forget it.

How about this?

If you like it,

I'll have a garment made for you.

How about I give you this fox fur collar coat?

Really?

Of course it's true.

But Miss Xie, you come from a noble family.

This fox fur collar coat,

can you really take a liking to it?

That's right.

I've seen goods like this since I was little.

I don't think it's anything valuable.

A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory.

But that fire fox fur is truly top quality.

Looking at his nonchalant attitude,

he must have handled many fine goods
in his business dealings.

- There really are quite a few.
- Madam.

What did you say?

I was saying,

there are many high officials and nobles
living in Beiping City.

Now that winter has arrived,

fox fur should be very popular, right?

Madam, you are absolutely right.

The winters in Beiping,
indeed often have wind and snow.

Fox fur is indeed both warm and luxurious.

Many high officials and nobles
want to acquire some.

However, truly fine fur is very hard to find.

That guy surnamed Xia,

since he's in the fur trade,

he must have many top-quality fox pelts
in his possession.

When the wind and snow arrive,

the wealthy gentry will surely
be willing to pay a fortune

for furs.

Faced with such an opportunity,

of course I want to get a piece of the pie.

Go and find out for me

which inn that guy surnamed Xia is staying at.

Thank you, Madam.

Xia Xun?

I'm asking you, is Xia Xun inside?

I...

Why are you so dumbfounded? Are you deaf?

I... I am Ji Gang.

I don't know who you are, miss...

Miss Xie?

How did you know we were here?

Madam Xie!

You, a young lady,

barging into a room with three grown men,

isn't very proper, is it?

I... I want to go into business with you.

What?

Miss Xie, are you serious?

I'm not joking.

I'm being completely serious.

According to my investigation,

although fur is expensive,
the market for it is not small.

Selling just one piece can earn a lot.

I don't know what business
you have with Squire Xie,

but if it were me,

I would definitely buy low-priced furs
from beyond the pass

and then sell them to wealthy gentry
and the families of officials

who have no shortage of money.

This way, we definitely won't lose money.

Before the beginning of spring,
we'll surely make a huge profit.

Miss Xie makes a good point.

But this business is being done
on behalf of others.

Miss Xie, you should find someone else
to partner with.

I haven't finished speaking yet.

We have important matters to discuss.

Miss Xie, please.

You...

Miss Xie is quite resourceful.

Not only can she find out where we live,

but she also knows all about the fur trade.

What's wrong with you?
You look like you've lost your soul.

Could it be that you've taken a fancy to her?

No.

Ji, let me give you a piece of advice.

You're so honest,

you really can't handle that girl.

No... not at all.

I just think...

she... she's quick-witted,

which is truly rare.

Is she from Beiping?

Listen to your elder brother's advice.

That Madam Xie,

she's so cunning and shrewd.
You can't afford to provoke her.

Better give up on that idea early.

Really?

Really.

What's her name?

Her name is...

I'm not telling you.

Tell me.

Her name is Xie Yufei.

Weren't you saying you're not interested in her?

If you don't listen to your
elder brother's advice, you'll suffer later.

My name is also Xie Yufei.

My name is also Xie Yufei.

I've brought you some fruits
from the Western Regions.

Would you like to try some?

Miss Xie, why have you come again?

I'm telling you, Miss Xie,

why don't you go back
and be Madam Xie of Xie family?

Can you please stop fooling around?

I'm not here to compete with you for business.

Purchasing goods, keeping accounts, bargaining,

and all the tricks of the trade,
I'm proficient in every aspect.

With my help, I guarantee
your profits will double.

Why not give it a try?

Think about it.

I appreciate Miss Xie's kind intentions.

I won't see you out.

Miss Xie...

Miss Xie, don't be angry.

Miss Xie...

Miss Xie, don't be angry with Xia.

If you sincerely want to do business with him,

I can try to persuade him for you, okay?

You...

Although... it might not be very effective.

But I will do my utmost.

It's just persuading someone, right?

Is it necessary to go all out?

You're really exaggerating.

Anyway, I'm willing to help you.

Forget it, I can see you're an honest person.

How can you be with that unreasonable jerk?

together?

Never mind.

Better to rely on oneself than on others.

I'll figure it out myself then.

Don't worry.

But still, thank you for your kindness.

Xia,

what's wrong with you?
Why are you standing here?

Strange, she actually didn't come today.

What do you mean she didn't come?

Xia,

since when have you had such a habit?

When Madam Xie isn't nagging,

you actually feel uncomfortable instead.

If she gives up just like that,

then I'd really thank heaven and earth.

By the way, Xia,

if you want to make
that fire fox fur into a coat,

you must be extremely careful.

If you encounter an unqualified craftsman,

one careless move could ruin it.

Let me tell you,

for such high-quality fire fox fur,

you must find the best furrier shop.

Of course.

Let's go,

let's go.

What fine fur!

Truly excellent goods.

Such high-quality fur,

I'm afraid I only see one or two pieces a year.

Fox fur of such a fiery red color is even rarer,

priceless indeed.

If you two really want
to make it into a fur collar,

perhaps consider selling it instead.

Priceless?

How much can you offer, shopkeeper?

We just want to make it into a fur collar

and pair it with a fur coat,

making it elegant and appropriate.

The style shouldn't be too old-fashioned.

I want to give it to a young woman.

Alright.

Once the customers pay the deposit,

I'll write you a receipt.

It's just the beginning of winter,
and many people are ordering fur collars,

so you might have to wait a bit longer.

Come back in 10 days,

and it should probably be ready by then.

Good.

So beautiful,

just like a ball of flame.

Shopkeeper, how much for this fox fur? I want it.

Miss, this fox fur isn't from our shop.

It was brought in by a customer
to be made into a fur collar.

Then,

who is this customer who ordered the fur?

Perhaps we can have a good talk with him

and offer a suitable price
to have him transfer it to us.

Right!

Why didn't I think of that?
You're so clever, Master.

I estimate these two

are likely the owners of this fox fur.

Regarding this fox fur,
if you two are willing to transfer it,

the price will surely satisfy you.

Seeing this lady's graceful demeanor
and extraordinary bearing,

I wonder how much you are willing
to offer for this fox fur?

I'm sorry, Madam.

This fox fur is meant to be a gift for my friend.

Even if you could offer a price

tempting enough to move anyone's heart,

this sentiment cannot be bought with money.

It's not that serious, is it?

Our young lady truly likes this piece of fur very much.

If you could help fulfill her wish,

that would also be considered
forming a good connection.

You would gain several times the profit,

and you could buy another one
to give to someone else.

This way, you form a connection,
gain profit, and the sentiment is still conveyed.

Wouldn't that be a perfect solution
for all three?

What you say is not unreasonable.

However, I have the intention
to give it as a gift.

If I were to transfer it
to someone else, driven by profit,

then even if I

gave someone 10 fox furs of the same price,

the sincerity behind it would be worthless.

I wonder if you agree?

A deal that was within reach just vanished.
What do you say about that?

You really won't sell?
I can offer a lot of money.

How much is this fox fur collar worth?

I'll pay 10 times the price. Will you sell?

Ming'er, what has a price, and what is priceless?

Shopkeeper,

does your shop have any other fox furs like this?

If the young lady truly wishes to buy,
there are some.

However, this red fox fur has a price
but is rarely found on the market.

It's something one can only encounter by chance,
not seek out.

May I trouble you to leave an address?

Within a year or so,
we are bound to come across one.

When that happens, I will send someone
to inform you at your esteemed residence.

It takes that long?

Sister, let's go.

Ming'er, didn't you want to buy a fox fur coat?

Why don't you want it anymore?

I don't want it anymore.

I want to go to Yanshan to hunt foxes.

I'll have my sister
and brother-in-law accompany me.

We'll hunt the most beautiful red fox.

I was really sweating for you.

Just looking at those people,
they are clearly not from ordinary families.

Why did you have to be so stubborn with them?

It wasn't that. Initially,
I just couldn't stand the sight of that

young lady's spoiled and pampered manner.

But I never expected that
she was just sulking on her own,

without any intention

of bullying others with her power at all.

I didn't expect our fox fur to be quite valuable.

Ming'er.

What goodies did brother-in-law bring?

This one is an arctic fox pelt, black as ink.

This one is a snow fox pelt, pure as white snow.

Take a look.

A while ago,

didn't you say your sister's
fur coat was beautiful?

You kept clamoring to have one made too.

Brother-in-law kept it in mind.

See,

Commander Han sent me two furs,

and I immediately thought of
bringing them to you.

Making a fur coat with one white
and one black would definitely look good.

What's wrong?

Don't come here showing off!

Why bring anything but fox fur?

What's wrong with fox fur?
Didn't Ming'er like it?

As soon as Han brought it,

I immediately thought of Ming'er.

Ming'er has always been stubborn.

Once she likes something,
she won't change her mind.

Is that so?

A couple of days ago, we went
to Xie's Fur Goods Shop.

She took a fancy to a fox pelt at first sight.

It was a fire fox pelt,
bright red like fire, very beautiful.

Unfortunately, it was already spoken for.

No matter how much money we offered,
the owner wouldn't sell.

She had just forgotten about this disappointment,

and then you...

How was I supposed to know that?

So what do we do now?

Maybe you should go cheer her up.

I can't afford to provoke this little ancestor.

This child has a stubborn temper.

Unless she figures it out herself,
how could I persuade her?

What about taking her hunting?

If we can hunt a fire fox, that's best of course.

Even if we don't catch one,

letting her run around outside and have some fun

will make her happy.
She's just a child, after all.

Great! Then let's go tomorrow.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Hurry up!

Xia!

Hurry up!

Xia,

this mountain is densely forested.

If we really encounter some beast
coming out to forage,

even armed like this,

I'm afraid it would be hard to escape death.

What beast comes out to forage during the day?

Ximen, don't worry.

I'm counting on you.

That over there should be
that so-called Lu Long Mountain, right?

Yeah.

The locals will transport the goods from there.

We'll gather here to receive them.

But with over a hundred cartloads of furs,

it's impossible to hide them
once they enter Beiping City.

So after we arrange these carriages,

we'll have Xie Chuanzhong transport them out.

Then we can sit back and relax in Beiping.

But now,

with so many carts and horses

staying here for three to five days,

how will they eat and sleep?

Don't worry.

These carts and horses are used to long journeys.

They know how to take care of
themselves in the wilderness.

The issue is finding a safe location

that can hide so many carts and horses,

sheltered from the wind and easy to access.

If we light fires for warmth at night,

it shouldn't be easily noticed.

But such a place is really hard to find.

Look, that valley seems pretty good.

Very suitable, and spacious too.

Let's go over and take a look.

We need to scout out the route.

Don't wait until the transaction time

to get lost in the dark. That would be terrible.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Ming'er.

When you go hunting later,

remember to be careful.

I know.

Also,

the mountain paths are slippery. Walk slowly.

Be careful not to fall.

I know. You're so naggy.

Sister, look.

There are two people over there.
Are they also here to hunt?

If they were mountain hunters,
they don't have bows.

If they were setting traps,

looking at the direction they're heading,

it's an open valley.

That doesn't seem right either.

Men.

Here.

Go follow them.

See who they are and what they're doing.

If they seem suspicious, arrest them immediately.

Yes. Let's go.

Sister, why are you arresting them?

Could they be bad people?

Not sure yet. We need to investigate.

But logically, if they were hunters,

they wouldn't be sneaking around
scouting like this.

I'm worried they might be fugitives from the law.

If that's the case,

mountain residents could be harmed.

Since we've seen them, it's best to check.

If they really are fugitives
wanted for major crimes...

Let me go catch them.

I've also learned some martial arts.

Little Princess's martial arts
are certainly good.

But if there really are any petty thieves,

there's no need for Little Princess
to take action personally.

Master Dao Yan,

are you afraid I can't defeat them?

Master means, why use a butcher's knife
to kill a chicken?

With so many guards available,

if you were to personally apprehend the thieves,

after returning, your brother-in-law
would definitely reprimand them.

Be careful, don't go too far.

Be careful.

Ximen, this road is really hard to walk.

This place is open enough,
with mountains on three sides.

There are also big trees here.

It's easy to gather firewood for warmth.

It can hide a hundred carts
and several hundred people.

How about it? Let's choose this place.

Not bad.

Alright, then it's settled.

We'll sneak towards Lu Long Pass

and memorize the route.

Alright.

What's wrong? What did you find?

What did you find?

Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Why do I always feel like someone is watching us?

You really scared me.

I thought we were being stalked by wolves.

Don't be afraid.

Let's go quickly.

Let's go.

I don't think they're up to any good either.

I vaguely heard them say something

about this place being able
to hide several hundred men and horses.

They also mentioned Lu Long Pass,
which is very suspicious.

Although it's suspicious,

we can't be sure yet

whether they are evildoers or not.

It's better to report to Princess
and let her decide.

Let's go.

Go.

Why has Ming'er been gone for so long?

She hasn't come back yet.

Let's go find her.

This rabbit runs so fast.

Don't come over!

Don't come over! Go away! Step aside!

Help!

There's a wolf!

There's a wolf!

Ximen, go quickly! Hurry!

You go quickly!

I'm scared too! Go quickly! Hurry!

You go quickly!

Didn't you promise to protect me?

Ximen, you go quickly!

Why should I go?

Hurry and find a safe place to hide in the back.

We'll come find you when it's safe.

Okay.

Go away.

Go away.

Damn, they all fell to their deaths!

Wake up!

Your crow's mouth!
You're the one who's dead!

Don't talk nonsense.

I protected her. She didn't even get a bump.

You scared me to death. Is she okay?

I think she just fainted from fright.

So she fainted from fright, not from the fall.

That's great.

Wake up!

Are you hurt?

Let her go!

Arrest those two!

Don't be rash, all of you!

We're not bad people!

- Princess!
- Ming'er! Ming'er!

Wake up, Princess!

How are you, Ming'er?

Ming'er!

I... I'm not...

Who exactly are you people?

You're wronging innocent civilians!

We're just ordinary ginseng gatherers.

We didn't attack that little girl.

Nonsense!

Take these two back.

Move!

Move!

Let go! We're wronged!

Take Princess back.

[South Gate]

What time is it already?
Why aren't they back yet?

It's cold on the mountain.
Could something have happened to them?

Shopkeeper, give me two thick coats.

This one. 20 wen.

So expensive!

Think it's expensive? Then don't buy it!

Shopkeeper!

I only have 18 wen here.

How about you sell me the clothes first,

and tomorrow I'll bring the rest
to make up the difference?

That won't do.

If everyone said that to me,

I wouldn't be able to do business.

Listen, brother,

I'm a man who reads the classics of the sages.
I wouldn't cheat you.

So what if you read?

Is reading so impressive?

If you're so capable, don't come buy my stuff.

Go on, get out!

Shopkeeper, how about this?

I'll also pawn this piece of jade to you.

You give me the clothes first,

and then tomorrow,

I'll bring the rest of the money
to make up the difference.

What do you think?

Is this real or fake?

Alright then, take it.

Remember to give me the money.

Stop right there.

Xia, Ji Gang, you...

- Ji Gang.
- Ji.

What have they done that you need to detain them?

In broad daylight...

You imprison innocent civilians,
completely disregarding the law.

If you don't step aside,
don't blame me for being impolite.

Do you think I'm afraid of you?

Ji.

Don't start a fight, don't be impulsive.

Ji, let it go.

You can't defeat them.

You absolutely must not confront them head-on.

I'll find a way to rescue you.

Oh, and the prison is cold, don't freeze.

Ji, don't worry about us.

Go back to the inn and wait for us.

Ji, wait for us.

Go back to the inn and wait for us.

I really don't know what master we've offended.

Once we go in, we might not come back.

Ji will probably only be able
to collect our corpses.

I say, Xia...

How come you're not worried at all?

Could it be that you already have an idea?

Exactly.

What do you mean by that?

Ximen, think about it.

In Beiping...

Who could command such a large group of guards?

Who?

And who would dare to escort prisoners
through the streets without any concern?

Most importantly...

Whose entourage would
include a high-ranking monk?

♫ Evening lanterns glow, frost upon the moon ♫

♫ Candlelight flickers red where only few stars gleam ♫

♫ In her tower she sings, dreaming of home ♫

♫ Through wind and night rain,
her gaze begins to roam ♫

♫ Sorrow under moonlight, endless are the nights ♫

♫ Dreaming of moments lost from sight ♫

♫ A rising sandstorm veils your face from view ♫

♫ Now worlds apart, with no path back to you ♫

♫ Love and hate, awake then gone like sand ♫

♫ We meet, forget, through lifetimes' shifting strand ♫

♫ Right or wrong, the song ends, but feelings stay ♫

♫ Two worlds apart, too far to see the way ♫

♫ Who knows her silent love, who knows her tears? ♫

♫ Who knows her heart, and whom it truly fears? ♫

♫ Who knows her tender thoughts,
her hidden grief? ♫

♫ A beauty's fleeting dream
for whom does life seem brief? ♫

♫ I'd give my all, through all the joy and pain,
and never complain ♫
