Joy of Life

16

Smash it at a critical time.

17

It won't take a life, nor physically harm.

18

But even a Grandmaster will be dizzy for a while.

19

- Thank you, Teacher.

- No need.

20

Just show off less.

21

The little emperor named Si Lili to return to Northern Qi.

22

Could it be she has a private relationship with the little emperor.

23

Stop looking.

24

The blinds are specially made, she can't hear us speaking.

25

That's illogical. If she really does have a private relationship with the little emperor,

26

why did he send her to Jingdu as a spy?

27

Xiao En is here.

28

The taste of sunlight.

29

Leave now!

30

Do you have any family members?

31

Let them live well. I will go back to find them.

32

It wasn't easy to escape jail.

33

Don't provoke your juniors at this juncture.

34

Will you be happy if they accidentally wound and kill you?

35

If I die, your son will die too.

36

Will be you satisfied?

37

Live well then.

38

Stop flaunting lest the Investigation and Control Bureau capture you again.

39

Chen Pingping.

40

Fie Jie.

41

You are still alive.

42

It's great.

43

When I was in there, I prayed you would live till a hundred years old.

44

Wait for me to return to find you.

45

If you talk crap again, I will poison you and turn you into a mute.

46

Give it a try then.

47

Didn't you eventually poisoned my son to death?

48

What drug did you use?

49

Do you still have it?

50

Why are you laughing? What is he laughing at?

51

I'm laughing at your legs.

52

I crippled them.

53

I thought you were laughing at yourself.

54

You were in the dungeon for many years. It was hard for you to move one inch forward.

55

As a loser, did you feel comfortable?

56

Restrain him!

57

You are old.

58

Don't be too furious. Watch your health.

59

You are really releasing me and letting me go back?

60

Do you really don't want to leave?

61

You will regret.

62

He's Fan Xian, an official with the bureau. He will escort you.

63

Hello, Senior Xiao En. Have you eaten?

64

- You are escorting me?

- Yes.

65

Who are they to you?

66

Old Fei is my teacher.

67

Head is my senior. He regards me as his family.

68

Take a good look at your kid.

69

You won't be able to see him again.

70

Senior, take a good look at the bureau. Who knows? You may be back here again.

71

Be careful on the journey, you're still tender.

72

I'll learn from Senior.

73

Fan Xian, the diplomatic entourage and your carriage

74

will meet outside the city. It will be tough for you.

75

Lord Yan, don't worry.

76

I will definitely bring your son safely back to Jingdu.

77

Fan Xian, let's go. I will see you off.

78

You can leave first. I have something to say to him.

79

Let your teacher go back early. He still has some injuries in his body.

80

He has injuries?

81

When he was in Northern Qi,

82

he entangled with Shen Zhong of Jinyiwei Guards.

83

When he heard about your diplomatic mission,

84

he rode on a fast horse to rush to the capital.

85

He encountered assassins six times on the way here

86

and didn't stop. He wasn't like this in the past.

87

When you showed up,

88

both of us have changed.

89

Don't let him see me off. I will persuade him to come back.

90

Go to Taiping Courtyard. Someone wants to see you.

91

Taiping Courtyard

92

Regarding the diplomatic entourage to Northern Qi,

93

it wasn't you in the first place.

94

Why me again?

95

You are young. You should go out to steel yourself

96

to toughen your will.

97

Are you complaining that my mind and wisdom are not comprehensive enough?

98

Do you know what your mission is?

99

I was told there were several things

100

but I only know to bring back Yan Bingyun.

101

I wasn't told about anything else.

102

Your highness will personally brief my mission.

103

They poisoned Si Lili.

104

They wanted her to die on the trip.

105

She won't die.

106

The target is not her. There's another purpose.

107

It was arranged for the Young Emperor of Northern Qi?

108

This plan is known as the Red Sleeve tactic.

109

I fear it the attracting of souls by White Sleeve.

110

After you have exchanged for Yan Bingyun,

111

find the opportunity to kill Xiao En.

112

You want me to kill Xiao En

113

right under their noses?!

114

As for the rest, there doesn't seem to be nothing much.

115

In their country's capital, kill the emperor

116

and kill Xiao En. That's already exciting enough.

117

I can also tell you.

118

To avoid rousing suspicions for this,

119

Investigation and Control Bureau won't help you.

120

Your Majesty really overestimated me.

121

Do you still have anything else to say?

122

- There's something I still don't understand.

- Speak.

123

You could have told me this in the palace. Why did you insist on choosing this place?

124

This place is different from the palace.

125

I'm the King in the palace. In here...

126

What's the difference?

127

Come back alive.

128

Your Majesty, what did you just say?

129

Remember to come back alive.

130

It's fine if I failed as long as I survive?

131

Aren't you asking the obvious?

132

This is my order!

133

Scram!

134

He's the King in the palace.

135

It's different in Taiping Courtyard?

136

You met His Majesty?

137

I felt like I met a fake King.

138

Do you feel that this mission is too difficult?

139

It's nothing. Teacher, don't worry.

140

I actually planned to go to Northern Qi with you.

141

Please don't.

142

The Head also said,

143

we killed too many Northern Qi's spies.

144

If I go with you, I will only harm you.

145

Just recuperate in peace in Jingdu and wait for my return.

146

When you go to Northern Qi,

147

you take extra precautions against these people.

148

One is Northern Qi's

149

Commander of Jinyiwei Guards, Shen Zhong.

150

Head told me about him.

151

The other person is the Grandmaster Ku He.

152

I heard about him.

153

He didn't want Xiao En to go back to Northern Qi.

154

Aren't they both from Northern Qi?

155

You and Guo Baokun are from Southern Qing.

156

Do you both get along well?

157

You are right.

158

But if the Grandmaster wants to take action against me,

159

what else can I do?

160

He places importance on his status.

161

If he wants to stop Xiao En from going back to Northern Qi,

162

he probably will dispatch his disciples.

163

Are there lots of them?

164

Others are not that great.

165

You only need to watch out for someone called Haitang.

166

This name sounds feminine.

167

Haitang is also known as Haitang Duoduo.

168

She's a disciple of Gu He's sect.

169

In Northern Qi, she's a renowned talent.

170

The people of Northern Qi respects her as the female saint.

171

It's really a woman.

172

You are a Divine Poet, she's a female saint.

173

In sharp contrast, I heard she's also a Level Nine Master.

174

Does a Level Nine Masters nowadays doesn't require money? It's one after another.

175

It's good to be a Level Nine Master.

176

If Gu He really wants to stop

177

Xiao En from going back to Northern Qi and he personally takes actions,

178

that's admitting to fate too.

179

Teacher can speak with great familiarity about Northern Qi too.

180

Stop flattering me.

181

There's another Northern Qi's General Shan Hu.

182

He resist the barbarians all year round and

183

won hundreds of victories.

184

Someone said he has an explosive temper.

185

Some said he's gentle and humble.

186

Isn't that self conflicting?

187

This is a strange place.

188

Isn't that a split personality?

189

Shang Shanhu is Xiao En's foster son.

190

He's looking forward to Xiao En's return to Northern Qi as soon as possible.

191

This person probably won't take actions against me.

192

After all, I'm escorting his foster father home.

193

Ye. He probably won't take actions against you.

194

Are you done grilling the meat? Where's my meat?

195

Lord, I have already prepared it for you much earlier.

196

General, there's news from Southern Qing.

197

The Southern Imperial Diplomatic entourage is escorting Mr Xiao En home.

198

We must not let foster father fall into the hands of the royal family.

199

Let's go to the Southern Qing's border to receive them

200

and rescue foster father first.

201

What about the armed escorts for the diplomatic entourage?

202

Who's leading the team?

203

Fan Xian, that poet from Southern Qing.

204

Never heard of him. Kill him on arrival.

205

Yes.

206

Teacher.

207

is this Shang Shan Hu's last name

208

Or is his family name, Shang?

209

The diplomatic entourage is in front.

210

I won't be seeing you off anymore.

211

Fine. Teacher, you must nurse your injuries.

212

Chen Pingping talks too much.

213

Let me instruct you again.

214

The young emperor of Northern Qi just took over the ruling upon coming of age.

215

The Queen hasn't released her authority yet.

216

There are clues of dispute between the Emperor and Queen.

217

I understand.

218

There's benefits in the power struggle between a mother and son.

219

I want you to take advantage of this mess and run for your life.

220

What? Are you going to participate in the politics of Northern Qi?!

221

No. I was just speaking at random.

222

Well...

223

Si Lili's poison is not infectious.

224

Only when there's intimate entanglement,

225

it will be infectious then.

226

You know about this too?

227

The Red Sleeve Tactic poison

228

was concocted by me.

229

Teacher plays your cards well. You are the top poison master in the kingdom.

230

What is this?

231

The antidote for Si Lili's poison. The usage is written here.

232

I was afraid you wouldn't be able to resist.

233

If you are poisoned, use the antidote.

234

Why would I be poisoned?

235

What do you mean?!

236

Teacher, I'm a decent person. I have never thought of doing anything to her.

237

You are a decent person.

238

I'm leaving.

239

I'm telling you. Don't make any mistakes.

240

If not, I will personally go to Northern Qi

241

let those people from Peking be buried with you.

242

Teacher, don't worry. I will definitely come back alive.

243

Why are you here? Didn't we already said our farewell at home?

244

I'm not here to say goodbye.

245

I'm here to urge you.

246

You've slacked off recently.

247

What do you mean?

248

Writing the books. You are writing too slow now.

249

Our Danbo bookshop is in urgent need of your new chapter for Red Mansion.

250

If it weren't for your anthology a few days ago, we'd have nothing to publish.

251

I have been busy lately.

252

I'm not listening. You have lots of excuses.

253

It's not a big deal for you to go on your diplomatic mission to Northern Qi.

254

Just find some time each day to write.

255

Write something and dispatch it back via a fast horse.

256

You should write more about feelings and love.

257

About I love you, and you don't love me.

258

Those young women love this.

259

No wonder you want to come with me.

260

Older Brother, don't worry.

261

- I will move to Wan'er's place tomorrow.

- Why?

262

I will help you to watch over your future wife.

263

I won't let her meet anyone else.

264

How could that work?

265

Should I go or not?

266

Go! Beat to death whoever tries to please Wan Er.

267

Don't worry. I understand.

268

As the eldest brother, you're misleading our family principles.

269

This is called expressing one's nature.

270

You're about to leave for Northern Qi yet are still so improper.

271

These are my bodyguards.

272

They're all cream of the crop.

273

They will go with you to the North.

274

A Vice Minister needs that many bodyguards?

275

Gao Da and his men are all very reliable.

276

No matter what you do, you can trust them.

277

I, Gao Da, will obey your instructions.

278

Your name is only two characters?

279

Gao (high) of climbing high, Da (attain) of attaining master.

(TN: his name is the same as Gundam)

280

I've heard a lot about you.

281

Lord has heard of my name?

282

In Dan Zhou, I raised a little horse named Zha Gu (TN: Zaku).

283

Later we'll find a time to let you guys meet.

284

Are we going past Dan Zhou this time?

285

I'm talking about next time when we have the chance.

286

Enough, don't worry about him.

287

He's always spouting nonsense.

288

Take care of each other on your trip to the North.

289

Yes, my lord.

290

Don't be stubborn, don't take risks.

291

Don't forget that you still have a family in Jingdu

292

waiting for you to return home.

293

Older Brother,

294

down this bowl of send off wine.

295

What are you doing? He's not leaving for the battle field.

296

I think it's almost the same.

297

Let's set off.

298

Yes, my lord.

299

Watch the road. Don't lose your concentration.

300

Stop the carriage. Take a break here.

301

Lord, where are you going?

302

- You don't need to know.

- I will go with you then.

303

I'm going to the latrine.

- Me too.

304

- I'm going to take a dump.

- Me too.

305

Lord, are you planning not to go to Northern Qi anymore?

306

You are afraid you will run into misfortunes over there and wants to escape now.

307

You are my misfortune.

308

Lord, if you want to escape, you take me along.

309

I don't want to go too. I'm smarter than them. I'm still sensible.

310

- Gao Da!

- Here!

311

Lord.

312

I'm going to the latrine. Wait here and take guard. No one must leave the troupe.

313

Yes.

314

Lord.

315

You, seriously.

316

Uncle Wu.

317

Based on what you said, I went to Taiping Courtyard.

318

- So how?

- It was closely guarded.

319

- You couldn't get in?

- I got in

320

but if I take you along with me and be free from danger, I fear it can't be done.

321

Did you get into the water

322

and see the mechanism my mother left behind?

323

It was rather strange.

324

In what way?

325

When I was flying up in the air, I discovered that stone was the key.

326

I can't explain clearly. I keep feeling that when Mistress left that mechanism,

327

you are the only one in this world who would understand this.

328

It can only wait for me to return to Jingdu.

329

Are you really going to open that Fan hidden door?

330

Didn't you say, once you find out the truth, you will be in danger?

331

I understand. But humans aren’t able to conquer

332

their curiosity for the unknown. In short, this is looking for trouble.

333

Fine. The chest that Mistress left behind...

334

wasn't it a weapon? You are not going to take it with you to Northern Qi?

335

I left it at home . Help me to look after it.

336

- I'm leaving too.

- Where are you going?

337

To the North.

338

You are following me to Northern Qi?

339

- I will leave first.

- Why?

340

I just heard what Fei Jie said.

341

Gu He may take actions on you.

342

This is just a possibility.

343

Why are you looking for Gu He?

344

- To have a fight.

- Uncle.

345

Fight with him till he can't entangle with you.

346

He's a Grandmaster.

347

I'm fighting with a Grandmaster.

348

So aggressive.

349

Grandmaster is a level below. I won't intervene.

350

I understand. Leave this to me.

351

Let's meet in Northern Qi then.

352

I want to delay Gu He.

353

I may not be able to go to Northern Qi. I won't be able to meet you.

354

Be extra careful.

355

One last thing.

356

I seem to remember this name, Xiao En.

357

What do you mean?

358

Mistress and Xiao En were from the same line.

359

My mother?

360

It seems like she told me that the reason why she came to this world,

361

it was because of Xiao En.

362

What else?

363

I only remember this.

364

So, Xiao En may know my mother's secret.

365

You can ask him.

366

But I received the order to kill...

367

But I received the order to kill him.

368

- Lord, you are back.

- What's wrong?

369

Lord.

370

Where did you find this idiot?

371

Are you referring to Wang Qinian? What's wrong with him?

372

When the diplomatic entourage distributed rations,

373

he stole fruits from the stock.

374

His actions are sneaky. He's vulgar, not generous and greedy.

375

Lord, we can't keep him.

376

I will talk to him about this.

377

- Thank you for mentioning this.

- Lord,

378

if you want to chase him away, I will do it.

379

Okay, fine. Go back to work.

380

Lord, you are back.

381

They were distributing rations just now. Aren't you eating?

382

I'm not.

383

Lord, Lord, Lord. Do you know what I discovered?

384

Tell me.

385

I discovered that the diplomatic entourage’s baggage cart

386

has fresh fruits.

387

They transported them by fast horses.

388

I brought some for you.

389

Wang Qinian, I'm the leader of the diplomatic entourage. Why would I steal the fruits?

390

Lord, you may not know. These fresh fruits

391

are stored with ice cubes.

392

They are barely enough. When they arrive in Northern Qi, they will be considered as gifts.

393

But these kind of items, the more it's towards the North,the rarer they are.

394

You took the exchange gifts for both states?

395

No one will count this stuff. If there are a few missing, no one would know.

396

Look. This journey is tough and a toil on you.

397

What's the big deal if you eat some fruits? Here.

398

I'm not eating. Thanks.

399

It's okay. Leave.

400

Lord, have some.

401

Don't be concerned. I will get more for you later.

402

Eat them earnestly. I will keep watch for you.

403

It's really hard to be a Lord.

404

Let's go.

405

You don't have much time. Make it quick.

406

Father, Father.

407

What are you doing here?

408

I was afraid you will suffer.

409

You are monkeying around. Didn't I tell you to sever our relationship?

410

Father, did they scold or beat you?

411

I'm an official. They treat me well. You don't need to worry.

412

Leave now!

413

Dad, I distributed some silvers around, but they all got returned.

414

They shifted responsibilities and refused to help.

415

It's useless having silver. Stop trying.

416

Dad, I hired a group of assassins. They’re all outstanding in their fields.

417

What do you want to do?

418

Fan Xian led a diplomatic entourage to Northern Qi.

419

This is a good opportunity. I will tail them.

420

Once we are at the wilderness in the outskirts, I will lead the killers to kill him

421

and help to vent anger on your behalf.

422

You must not do this.

423

Father, don't worry. I have been reading many military books

424

I researched many war cases too. I was deeply touched.

425

Looking at it now, I have the qualities to be a great general too.

426

It's impossible. Don't do stupid things!

427

- This is not a stupid deed.

- The patrol is here. Hurry up!

428

Father, wait for my news.

429

No, you must not do this. It will harm you!

430

- Do you want rice? (Are you a beggar?)

- Do I look like one?

431

Do you want rice?

432

Want rice?

433

It's nothing.

434

Do you want rice?

435

No only do I want rice? I can cook too.

436

I'm Zhao Da.

437

Is everyone here? Set off immediately. Fan Xian has already left the city.

438

Sir, please wait. They are on their way.

439

Didn't I tell you to summon them to Jingdu?

440

- They are busy with the farms in the village.They will be here when the work is done.

- Huh?

441

This...

442

Come, take a seat.

443

I'm waiting for those old soldiers who retired from the front line.

444

They sorted out their farm work after they went back to their village.

445

Usually, regarding marriages and funerals,

446

we will help too as our livelihood.

447

But don't worry, about the service of killing people,

448

We are above standards and

449

- will never bungle in our task.

- Fan Xian has already left.

450

We won't bungle in our task. The diplomatic entourage won't advance that fast.

451

We can catch up with them in a few days.

452

Is that so?

453

The Patrol Division can only escort us till here. If we head North again, we can only rely on ourselves.

454

It's within the Southern Qing's border. We are on homeland. There probably won't be any danger.

455

As for Xiao En, his evil fame has spread far and wide. Lord, we need to take guard every time.

456

I drug him every day.

457

It's best that someone is in the carriage to watch over him.

458

A pity I need to guard all corners. The protection escorts are very fearful of him. They dare not go near him.

459

It's also human nature.

460

By the way, Lord, I saw Wang Qinian stealing fruits again.

461

You caught him again?

462

I observe him every now and then.

463

Lord, we can't keep him. If it's not convenient for you,

464

let me do it. I will drive him away.

465

No need.

466

Why?

467

Frankly, Wang Qinian is faking his image.

468

He's a top warrior who's very brave.

469

This idiot? Well...

470

I will be honest with you. Frankly, I was also worried about something happening with Xiao En being alone in the carriage.

471

Who would’ve thought, when I voiced my concerns, Wang Qinian bravely volunteered

472

to share Xiao En's carriage as a look-out.

473

He really said that?

- Yes.

474

Hero Wang!

475

I've misunderstood you.

476

From the start, I was deceived by Hero Wang's fake image.

477

Now it seems you are the real hero.

478

You are being polite.

479

Xiao En killed people like flies. He is cruel and violent.

480

He's a demon on earth.

481

His sin is definitely not pardonable.

482

But you are not afraid of him!

483

You can see that too?

484

This action is no different to feeding a lion with your own body.

485

I admire you.

486

You are too polite.

487

Starting from today, we will be buddies who go through water and fire.

488

If there are any mishaps,

489

I will decapitate Xiao En and take revenge for you.

490

Lord, did this idiot take the wrong medicine?

491

Frankly, he caught you stealing fruits.

492

I stole fruits and he admires me?

493

And then I helped you twist it a bit.

494

Mr Xiao, starting from today,

495

I will be the one to be with you. I'll go boil some water for you.

496

I'll wash your face and make you comfortable.

497

Tell me, if I catch you

498

and use you to threaten the youngster. Will that work?

499

Mr Xiao, since they sent me here,

500

this means I'm an insignificant person.

501

Isn't that so?

- Those important people from the bureau,

502

why would they care about whether I'm dead or alive?

503

Let me wipe your face.

504

Do you know how to massage?

505

Massage too?

506

Aren't you afraid of me?

507

Mr Xiao, your fame has spread far and wide.

508

Of course, I'm afraid.

509

What if I kill you?

510

Lord Fan Xian is very rich.

511

My wife and daughter will live well.

512

What are you called?

513

I didn't. I didn't at all.

514

I am asking for your name.

515

I'm...Wang Qinian.

516

Wang Qinian?

517

Remember this. Come, press here.

518

Come, over here.
