=Recruit A General to Lead the Troops=

=Episode 6=

Hey.

What are you doing?

Why is it always fighting and killing?

Do all Death Servants have unique marks?

Courting death.

Why did you not dodge?

How could I dodge?

You are a martial master. I am not.

Hey.

It is this mark.

I am really curious.

You are a Death Servant,

so how did you become the Fourth Boss of Qingfeng Stronghold?

None of your concern.

You will not say?

If you will not, I will go find Chen Xinrou.

I will tell her

that her Fourth Boss only pretends to be loyal,

when in truth she is a Death Servant of unknown origin.

I will have her drive you out.

She will never believe such nonsense.

She may not have before,

but just now Shihou Stronghold sent Death Servants into Qingfeng Stronghold.

And you just happen to be one yourself.

Do you not think she will suspect you?

And once suspicion arises,

the charge will stand.

At that point, whether you are or not,

she will cast you out.

I cannot leave.

Cannot leave?

Why not?

I am her Shadow.

My purpose in life is to protect her.

A Shadow must not be seen.

That is the rule.

Then how did you become her Shadow?

You ask too many questions.

Still not speaking?

Then I will tell her.

Stop.

Wealthy nobles choose children without parents

and train them as Death Servants,

to serve them.

I was one of those.

Then,

what did they have you do?

Kill.

The Leader's father chose me

to be her only Death Servant.

Then how did you become the Fourth Boss?

That year,

the Leader fled from her marriage into the outskirts.

She accidentally fell into the water.

Later, as you know,

she was captured by Shihou Stronghold.

Bullied day after day.

And I could not reveal myself to save her.

I am a Death Servant.

My heart should feel no pain.

But when I saw her being bullied,

my heart twisted like a knife.

I revealed myself

and protected her.

That day, I was ready to leave.

Heroine.

Stay with us.

Let us be good friends from now on.

She is the only one who treats me like family.

So I must protect her,

and never let anyone hurt her.

It is best she never learns of this.

So you must not reveal a single word.

Do not worry, I will not tell.

She sees you as a sister,

I see you as a brother.

And between brothers, there must be trust.

My dear Leader,

how could you let them stay?

Having one man in the stronghold

was already annoying enough.

Now look at this,

there are four more.

If this continues,

our stronghold will turn into a den of men.

If Li Chengyu wants them here, then let them stay.

Leader.

Do you truly have feelings for Li Chengyu?

How could that be?

Was it not you who said marrying a husband would be good for the stronghold?

(Qingfeng Stronghold. Yuchang Hot Springs)

Beautiful sisters, come take a look.

Step right up and see for yourselves.

Do you all feel itchy?

By chance, my brother

(Yuchang Hot Springs) has just built the Yuchang Hot Springs.

Yeah. Yuchang Hot Springs.

As the name suggests,

it is a place for bathing and changing.

Hot water in abundance.

You may bathe and soak.

Snacks are plentiful.

So what are you waiting for?

Come inside and enjoy a bath.

Blow bubbles, splash water.

Hey, all of you, come here.

Hey, hey, do not leave.

You would dare enter a place built by men?

Is it not filthy? Are you not afraid of the stench?

Disperse, all of you.

Go about your business, quickly.

Qiu Erniang.

Even Chen Xinrou did not interfere, so why are you making trouble here?

And you dare call me filthy?

I say you are the one who is filthy for not bathing.

You must not offend Erniang.

Back in the day, her man

was a minor leader of Qingfeng Stronghold.

At that time, Liu Pitang was the Leader.

In order to please Liu Pitang,

that minor leader offered Erniang to him.

That very night,

a bolt of lightning

struck down and killed her man on the spot.

When Liu Pitang saw it,

he thought, this woman is ominous.

So he dared not touch her.

From then on,

Erniang came to despise men.

And men in turn

did not dare to go near her,

fearing a terrible death.

No wonder she is so wild,

and hates men so deeply.

How do you know this so clearly?

Do you like her?

Hahaha, brother,

what are you saying?

Even if I did like her,

I am timid.

I fear death.

In those years,

I was just a water-carrying bandit in Qingfeng Stronghold.

Relying on my cleverness,

I rose step by step to become the Second Boss.

Come, applaud.

Applaud, hahaha.

So if you want to open this hot spring,

you must first deal with Qiu Erniang.

But handling Erniang is no easy task.

She trusts no one. She believes only in fate.

Every time she delivers goods down the mountain,

she goes to the Matchmaker Temple to pray.

Matchmaker Temple?

Tomorrow, she will deliver another batch of goods.

Why are you helping me?

Do you like me?

Brother.

This Erniang,

she hates men so much.

Why does she go to the Matchmaker Temple?

(Matchmaker Temple.)

(The more she despises men,)

(the more she longs for one.)

This fortune slip.

Congratulations, young lady.

This is the best of fortunes.

Your destined one will soon arrive.

When you return home,

at the moment you step inside the gate,

walk straight for fifty steps,

then turn east for thirty more,

and enter the house.

There you will meet your destined one.

Thank you, Master.

Old man, much obliged.

General Li, you are too polite.

(What is that smell on these clothes?)

Welcome, Second Boss, to give your guidance.

I never expected

the first guest of the hot spring would be you, Second Boss.

Let me show you around.

This large pool behind me,

that is the hot spring area.

It is where the ladies may bathe.

Now, look this way.

Behind this curtain

is where the ladies change clothes.

Follow me.

Here is a mirror.

Cosmetics are over here.

This side

is for the ladies to freshen up

and put on their make-up again.

And here is even better.

There is a shower area,

and a place for scrubbing.

Second Boss.

Let me ask you something.

If you do not like someone,

and even dislike him greatly,

but fate has arranged that he is your destined one,

what would you choose?

I would choose to accept fate.

But I truly detest that person.

Fate is the greatest of all arrangements.

Forgive me, Leader.

Let us bathe together.

Second Boss.

That is not what I meant.

Sometimes fate depends on the person.

Yulang.

(Qingfeng Stronghold, Yuchang Hot Springs) Beautiful ladies, come and see.

Take a look.

Your Second Boss is already inside, bathing.

Blowing bubbles and splashing about.

What are you still waiting for?

Say it.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Make some bubbles.

Blow some bubbles.

Between these two mountains there is only one river.

And that Qingfeng Stronghold

has been taken by them.

I have not bathed for half a year.

It itches terribly.

Tell me, those women in that stronghold,

what did they build?

Yuchang Hot Springs.

It was Cold Tiger and Li Chengyu.

They dug through the well at Qingfeng's gate.

What?

Huzi did not die?

No.

Go.

Find someone to finish him off for me.

Half a month's work,

and today is the Best Stronghold Member Ceremony.

The award can belong to no one but me.

Is that not Shihou Stronghold?

Damn, that is the well linked to my hot spring.

They have ruined my plan.

Do not run.

Mischievous.

So mischievous.

Chengyu, this Yuchang Hot Springs is truly delightful.

It seems men are not entirely useless.

No wonder the Leader kept them here.

Yes, though our monthly expenses have risen.

But I think Chengyu is really a good man.

Not only did he build this hot spring for everyone's benefit,

he also asks for no silver in return.

A few days ago he asked me about the Best Stronghold Member.

Why is he doing all this?

He went to such lengths to build Yuchang Hot Springs.

There must be a reason.

Sisters,

perhaps you could find a chance to test him for me.

How should we test him?

I do not know either.

Oh, stop fooling around.

Sorry, sorry.

(Wait, did I just see...)

♪If you've never seen a bloom, you can't know hope♪

♪If you weren't here, I wouldn't have come♪

♪On a soda-lit night, only the wind knows my love♪

♪It's a helpless kind of feeling♪

♪Like a feather of morning love falling into the deep sea♪

♪Being unnoticed, yet I still tell you I love you♪

♪But my confession is drowned out by the wind♪

♪You can't hear it♪

♪I also want to rush forward♪

♪To give you all my heart♪

♪Yet it's pushed away by you♪

♪Whether love is spoken or left unspoken♪

♪I know you understand♪

♪It's just an accident♪

♪You longed to wander once more, by my side through the throng♪

♪I know you weren't really here for me♪

♪Yet still, who else could bring a surprise quite like you♪

♪After you left, I didn't want to let go♪

♪You brushed past me, leaving your trace in the crowd♪

♪I didn't shut you out♪

♪But I couldn't wait for you to stop♪

♪Yet I seem to clutch you, unable to let you fade into the crowd♪
