Chengyu!

Chengyu! Chengyu!

Chengyu!

Who did this?

Who did this?

Help!

Help!

Chengyu...

You must live,

Chengyu.

I lost my parents at young age.

I have no one to rely on.

I was fortunate enough to have met you.

If you died, I'd have no one to rely upon,

Chengyu!

Don't die,

Chengyu!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Chengyu!

You're making too much noise!

Chengyu.

You're still alive, Chengyu.

The arrow is poisoned.

Poisoned?

Luckily, I've had those pills given by Chen Xinrou.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have made it.

What are you talking about?

Cold Tiger.

What we can do now is keep moving.

Let's see if we can find the exit.

You took the arrow for me.

How do I even repay your kindness?

Repay, your foot.

There's nothing for you to repay.

Nothing to repay?

What do you mean?

Liu Pitang and I made these weapons.

That's a lot.

Slowly, we need to find

the way out.

Have a seat here. That's a chair.

That's scary.

Eh? Wait.

Eh? Wait.

Chengyu.

There are some words here.

What's that?

Read them out.

I, what Fang...

I, what Fang...

Fang?

Li Fang?

"I, Li Fang, came here under the order of the Vice Minister of War

to find Dongfang Shan to forge unique weapons.

I hid myself in Shihou Stronghold,

secretly making weapons.

But when I heard the imperial court's siege had failed,

I feared being exposed.

So I moved out overnight.

And on the night of the husband-choosing festival

at Qingfeng Stronghold, I disguised myself as a villager from the Li Family Village

and slipped the letters exchanged with the Ministry of War

into the Treasure Pavilion,

framing Chen Xinrou for it.

Then I came back here to clean up the mess.

But unexpectedly..."

Where's the rest?

He didn't finish writing it.

I guess he didn't made it.

Yes. That must be it.

Like you, he didn't made it.

Wait. Chengyu!

Chengyu!

Don't die!

Hang in there, Chengyu!

I still need you!

You're my family!

I can't live without you!

(I haven't seen Li Chengyu in a day.)

(Why has he been avoiding me lately?)

Magistrate.

This is it!

Li Chengyu is poisoned,

so he can no longer run away.

Search inside!

Hold on.

If we unseal the cave,

he'd be able to get away with it.

Get some explosives

and blow this cave apart.

Blow it apart?

I should've thought of that.

How wise of you.

That's brilliant.

How brilliant.

Mysterious Sir never let us down. Go get us some explosives here!

- Hurry! - Quick!

Leader.

Are you worried about Mr. Li?

I was trying to verify the ledger with him last night, but he wasn't around.

Besides, Cold Tiger was nowhere to be seen too.

Someone

help us!

Chengyu is dying! Help!

Chengyu is dying!

He's dying...

What happened?

Chengyu has had a poisoned arrow.

A poisoned arrow?

Chengyu? Chengyu?

Chengyu!

Quick. It's lethal.

Chengyu.

(Am I leaving soon?)

(I'm just a nobody.)

(Everyone's life is different.)

(But...)

(But I want to be a hero too.)

(It feels nice to be one.)

(I want to protect these people.)

(I want to find out the truth)

(and prove to Heaven)

(that a nobody can be a hero as well.)

Sir.

Now that Li Chengyu is dead,

we're completely free from worries.

No.

Dongfang Shan is still alive.

I

will get rid of her.

Go ahead.

Come with me!

What is this, Liu Pitang?

Well,

I'm here to seal off Qingfeng Stronghold on the county magistrate's command.

What are we guilty of?

(Wanted) What are you guilty of?

Dongfang Shan was involved in making weapons for the rebellion.

And I'm going to arrest her.

Go ahead and search the place!

Stop!

Listen up, Chen Xinrou.

Harboring a wanted criminal

is a capital offense.

Whoever you're looking for, he's not here.

Instead of causing a scene here, you might as well search elsewhere.

Also, as far as I know, you're a mere shopkeeper.

Catching criminals is the officials' job.

So, what gives you the right to be barging into here?

How sharp-tongue you are!

I'm telling you.

Today, I'm going to get rid of you all too.

You were safe because of Li Chengyu.

If not, you'd have been dealt with long ago.

He's gone now.

Let's see who's going to protect you.

Charge!

Stop it!

Who said I'm dead?

Don't die!

Hang in there, Chengyu!

I still need you!

You're my family!

I can't live without you!

My parents died when I was young.

I've been all alone.

What are you doing?

Go find the exit.

Chengyu.

There are wind

and a crack.

Is that Li Chengyu?

Oh my goodness!

He's still alive! Run!

Run! Open the door!

Good grief! Quick!

Li Chengyu!

(I can't stay here any longer.)

They're trying to catch me.

And they won't stop until they find me.

Are you leaving?

Qingfeng Stronghold has been put on the spot because of me.

I'm going north.

It's where my home is.

If so, could you do me a favor?

What's it?

There are three papers

and two arrows inside.

The first sheet of paper

is a letter between Li Fang and the rebels.

The second sheet

is the statement Li Fang made when he asked you to forge weapons.

The third one is an inscription he left before he died.

I made a rubbing of it from the big rock.

As for these two arrows,

one was made by the rebels,

the other by you.

Take all this evidence with you to the capital

and present it to His Majesty.

I believe His Majesty will protect you.

But how do I see His Majesty?

Cold Tiger.

Cold Tiger!

Chengyu!

Chengyu!

What's the matter, Chengyu?

Are you having a surge of vitality before death?

Stop cursing me already.

Give me the token.

Oh, the gold medal.

Are you leaving?

Farewell.

Take this token and depart for it.

Have a safe journey.

If you ever ran into danger,

forget about evidence,

you must save yourself.

If we ever see each other again,

I will

make you a God of War weapon.

See you again,

Li Chengyu.

(I hope)

(I can clear Qingfeng Stronghold's name.)

♪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♪
