My Heroic Husband

Episode 23

You really are Master Ning.

The day, when we meet at the Wall,

I felt you are familiar to me, but I didn’t manage to greet you.

Good to see you, I’m Li Pin.

You are too polite.

What Master Ning?

What’s going on?

Master Ning has a considerable repute.

You haven’t heard about him?

Master Ning lives in Dian Zu Mountain.

He is a hermit.

He is not only erudite

but also good at the art of fortune-telling.

He has the fame of mastering various trades and being proficient in politics

in the Wu Dynasty

Everyone knows him.

You overvalued me.

It’s fate that bring us here.

You encounter me in this broken temple

is the God’s will.

If you want to ask me something,

sit down, fire it away.

Thank you so much, Master Ning.

Master Ning,

I have been married for many years.

I’m supposed to have many children

to carry on the family name.

However, sadly,

no matter how hard my wife and I try

we couldn’t get pregnant.

If you can help me with that,

it would be a grace of rebirth to me.

I would be so grateful.

Sit here.

Please tell me what to do.

There is a Watang Town besides the Jiangning City,

and there is a Tongqu River in the town.

This river runs from the north to the south.

You need to

find eighteen cobblestones on the bottom of the river,

and put them under your bed,

so you could sleep on them.

Within a month, you will have many children and grandchildren,

and be blessed with good fortunes.

Many thanks for your help.

You don’t have to.

Now, you may leave.

Goodbye, Master.

Hero, sorry that I bothered.

I’m surprised that

you are familiar with those

gimmicks.

Traveling on all corners of the country,

I must have a skill to support me.

What’s the matter? Commander Chen?

Do you have any secret sorrows?

Maybe I could help you.

I…

You don’t have to.

I’ve never trusted

those illusive tricks.

Furthermore,

the more I observe you the more I believe that

you are a conman.

Feng Yuan!

How dare you to slander Master Ning’s name.

There are tons of people

that know his name.

People always impersonate him.

He is in his early 20s.

It’s obvious that he is a phony.

You know nothing.

He just looks young.

Stop fighting.

It doesn’t matter if it’s true

or not.

Have a break.

We have to count the grain

in the morning.

Fine, Master Ning.

I’ll drop this

because of Master Ning said so.

Wait.

This matter is concerned with

military counselor’s honor.

We shouldn’t be perfunctory about it.

What are you saying?

Hero means

we can test him

to find out the truth.

Test him?

How?

Easy.

If he could figure out my origin and details of my life,

and family background,

I’ll acknowledge that he is Master Ning.

What if you don’t play it fair?

Even if he got it right,

and you won’t admit.

What can we do, then?

Easy.

I shall write my information down,

so that it could prove his words.

Good.

Come inside.

Please have a look, hero.

Military counselor,

please start.

Master Ning.

What’s wrong?

You can’t tell it?

Do you need to observe the stars?

Or maybe read my palm print?

You big phony.

It’s not that I couldn’t tell it,

it’s just your experience is so rich.

If I disclose some of your past,

these two wouldn’t believe me.

If I say too much,

it would embarrass you.

Just speak out what is in your mind.

Well, then.

Your name is Feng Yuan, and your courtesy name is Wen Quan.

You used to be an herb tradesman in Wudu City.

When you were eight,

your father’s drug addiction

broke your family.

Your mother felt helpless.

She brought you to Jiangning

to find your uncle.

Then, you were found by the debt collectors,

and they stalked you.

You couldn’t go back to your home,

so you stayed in the library of your school.

If I’m not wrong,

on your left chest,

there is a scar left by the debt collectors.

I…

Well,…

I have never

told anyone about my scar.

Are you

really…

You really are Master Ning.

Master Ning.

Master Ning, please forgive me.

I told you that you act like a snob.

I admit.

Master Ning, please tell us what to do.

Master Ning.

Please solve our problems.

Come here, you two.

Many thanks, Master Ning.

Master Ning, right?

Solve my problem, too.

Are, are you sure?

Are you sure that

she is a young lady of a noble family?

Please, tell me more.

Yes, I’m sure.

This lady,

she is not only a lady of a noble family,

but also proficient in lute-playing, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

As to her look,

she is a beauty.

Congratulations, Commander Chen.

Um…

And

Tell me more about her

her

her personalities.

Can she play martial arts?

Since she is a young lady of a noble family,

she is kind, gentle, and smart.

So how could she learn martial arts that kind of rude and vulgar thing.

No.

No?

Nothing.

It’s just…

People like me

who leads a dangerous life.

It’s not right to be with a girl like her.

Master,

earlier,

you told Liu Xigua’s fortune of love life.

I thought that you were lying.

But just now,

you told mine.

I’m sincerely convinced.

So…

So…

Master,

Is there a way to

avoid this karma?

To avoid this karma?

It would taste better if you swallow this with alcohol.

How is it going?

Has he passed out?

It would be so lame if

five of us couldn’t take him down.

Let’s go, Ning.

We shouldn’t dawdle any longer.

Let’s go.

Wait.

What?

Let’s bring them with us.

Come.

This way.

Hurry up.

Follow up.

Be careful.

Madam.

Are you alright?

Get up.

Can you walk?

Let’s go. Be careful.

Come.

Keep walking.

Hang in there.

Hang in there

This way.

Be careful.

Shine the lights there.

Be careful.

Guys,

here it is.

A homeless people’s shield

is on the commercial road up there

We have to go back to Jiangning.

Let’s say goodbye.

Hope to see you again.

Thank you so much for saving us

from him.

We will never

forget your kindness.

Don’t be.

Hit the road.

-Yes -Yes

Take care.

Take this torch.

-Thank you, hero. -Take care.

-Bye. -Take care.

Goodbye.

Thank you.

Take care.

Did you hear that?

They called us heroes.

No wonder there are so many people who like to help the weak.

Now I learn how it feels like to be a hero.

It’s worrying that there are so many more people

like them in Lin’an City.

You’ve only saved several of them.

Stop being cocky thinking yourself as a hero.

Did you hear that?

Please don’t be the bandits.

Don’t panic.

What…

Who…

Are you from Lin’an City?

Yes.

What’s the matter?

Do you have food?

Aunt,

even the people in Lin’an City have no food,

how can we possess any?

We

We have food.

Our family

are trapped in Lin’an City.

The bandits close the city.

We couldn’t get in.

Could you please

bring these foods to them?

Aunt,

please keep the food

to yourself.

It’s impossible for us to find your family

given the circumstances in Lin’an City.

We couldn’t

do this favor for you.

Sorry.

Big Brother,

please help my father.

Big Brother,

please help my father.

Once the war begins,

they are the ones who suffer.

They have no food.

I want to stay and help them.

Kid,

what did you say?

Help my father, would you?

Yes, I would.

Aunt,

though we couldn’t

bring the food to your family,

we could gather donations

to feed all your families and people

in Lin’an City.

I agree.

Hero.

Hero.

We heard you.

We are

old and weak,

but to carry the supplies and save the people,

we can summon some strength.

So,

we are staying.

we are staying.

we are staying.

Good.

Be quiet.

Adviser.

I’m here.

Are you awake, my Lord?

Nonsense!

If I’m not awaken by the loud noise outside,

I’d be dead.

What happened?

My lord,

there are some people out there demanding us

to distribute food to the victims.

Saying

they want us to transport food to Lin’an City.

Lin’an City?

Oh, no.

It must be the bandits, they are here.

Good.

Let me kill them all.

My lord.

They are not the bandits.

Not the bandits?

Then,

who could they be?

Please go out and have a look.

Town Government

Silence.

They really are the weak.

Yes.

Make the way.

Don’t injure them.

Seniors,

neighbors,

please calm down.

You want food? It’s not a big deal.

Adviser,

bring some food from the storehouse and give it to them.

Yes, my lord.

It’s not enough for all of us.

How many do you need, then?

Fall on evil days.

People suffer.

Food is what we need.

Five hundred dans’ grains are what we demand.

What?

Five hundred dans?

Are you insane?

We don’t have five hundred here

even in our stock.

What a brilliant speech.

You don’t have them in your storehouse.

You can beg for food from door to door.

You don’t have them in your town.

You can borrow from other towns.

I don’t care how you collect five hundred dans.

Before the sun rises,

I want them to be here

at the broken house on that crossroad.

How dare you.

How mischievous.

You disobedient young man,

How dare you to show up at my door,

and to say such things.

Five hundred dans.

Let alone I don’t have them,

even if I do,

why should I give them to you?

Because of this.

-This? -This?

Look.

It works.

I see.

He wants to assassinate me.

Guards, take him down.

Stop.

You…you’d better have a close look of this.

Yeah, I did.

It’s nothing but a hidden weapon.

Do you really think you can bring me down using that?

This is not a hidden weapon.

This dagger belongs to Lord Qin Siyuan.

Qin…Qin Siyuan? I don’t know him.

Lord?

What’s his rank?

Is it higher than mine?

Open your eyes and look closely.

Do you know him?

Higher than mine?

My lord.

Get off him.

We, Three Towns of Lin’an,

will leave no stone unturned to

gather the supplies as soon as possible.

-Great. -Great.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Your worship,

what’s the situation?

By my estimation,

there are over three hundred here.

Three hundred?

We need two hundred more.

Follow up.

This way.

Your worship,

the food from the next two towns has arrived.

Here it comes.

Hurry up.

Where is Ning Yi?

Where is Ning Yi?

Here.

What’s going on?

Look.

There are five hundred dans of rice.

And some fruits and vegetables.

Those are sufficient to supply for the Lin’an people.

How could I fall asleep?

Yeah.

Isn’t that a good thing?

It means that you are healthy

and you have nothing bothers your mind.

That’s not what I mean.

It doesn’t matter.

When we return to the camp, if the Ladyship asks,

you will share the reward.

You are so nice.

But…

I still wonder

how did you manage to

gather so many supplies in one night.

Don’t ask.

This…

This is just like your marriage.

It is destiny.

You mortals can never change it.

You are lucky that you met me.

If I make this clear,

it will be jinxed.

You have your reasons.

Fine.

Well,

if anyone asks,

you have to keep my secret.

I don’t want trouble.

Relax.

You have my word.

Let’s go.

We are left behind.

I’m still dizzy.

Look at you. You are still punchy.

Fan,

my brothers helped a lot,

don’t let them sleep in the cell anymore.

Find them a decent room.

Of course, it’s on me.

Go and discharge the cargo.

-Okay. -Okay.

Military counselor is back.

Commander Dabiao has been waiting for you.

Go inside.

Okay.

It’s your show.

I shouldn’t go.

I stayed up all night, I’m exhausted.

I’ll take a bath and go to sleep.

But…

There is no but.

Didn’t you hear it?

Military counselor wants to take a bath.

Have somebody boil the water.

What?

No what.

-Chen Fan. -Chen Fan.

Right, for these four guys,

fine a room for them.

Let’s go.

My show.

Badao Camp

At that moment,

I spread my arms,

and put the military counselor behind me.

As I know,

if I dodged,

the soldiers would dash up and

kill us all on the spot.

Hang by a thread,

I shouted and pulled my machete out.

I charged into the enemy camp.

In a flash,

the sky changed its color and the stars and the moon moved.

I was like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep.

The enemies escaped as they are intimidated by my machete.

Speaking of which,

it was so close.

Luckily,

I devoted all my knowledge and skills,

and I opened that gate of the storehouse.

That was how I brought back that

five hundred dans of supplies.

What are you talking about?

Did you raise the supplies?

Or did you loot them?

I admit.

It was an impulse.

But how rare it is to fight for your life.

At this kind of moment,

I had no choice but to fight

to earn my life.

You are so brave, Commander Chen.

According to your description,

it has been a series of crisis last night.

Then, why you look so tidy right now?

Especially, your perfect hair.

Uh…uh...

Well…

Whatever.

Stop making things up.

Where is the military counselor?

Bring him over. I want to hear it from him.

Commander,

we boiled water for him to bath,

and he should be in bed right now.

Bath?

How dare he has time to bath?

Bring him to me.

Hold on.

He had been busy all night long.

He has finally got to rest.

Leave him be.

When since you start caring about him?

We went to the battlefield together.

We are like brothers.

Brothers are supposed to

look after each other.

Moreover,

he has always been hard-working.

He wrote notes for the files for you

and in charge of the errands here.

I’m not blaming you, but

Dabiao, as a commander,

you should be more considerate.

Military counselor is destined to achieves great business.

We shouldn’t bother him with

insignificant trifles.

What happened over a night?

I’m only saying the truth.

I’m not side with him.

Commander,

the supplies have been sorted and counted.

They are ready to be distributed.

What are you waiting for, Dabiao?

Set up spots

and distribute the supplies.

No.

If we do that in such a flagrant way,

I’m afraid Bao Wenhan will take the supplies

before the people receive them.

Then, what should we do?

It’s food.

It’s food.

Thank you, heroes.

Thank you.

Great!

Thank you.

Oh, crap.

I’ve slept for too long.

Whatever.

Breakfast time.

Gao Qiu.

No, not me.

I…

I only took a steamed bun.

What are you doing here?

I…

What happened?

I asked Chen Fan to find you a place, didn’t I?

Yes, you did.

But you haven’t fed us.

When we lived in the cell,

at least we had meals

and diced meat.

As to now,

it’s not enough for four of us to share a pot of porridge.

I’m so sorry.

I was so sleepy.

When I get up tomorrow,

I’ll buy you a decent meal.

Feng,

hurry up, eat.

Otherwise, it’s not enough for us

to share this pot of porridge.

Quickly, eat.

I recall that

my wife cooked me a pot of bird’s nest porridge once.

I was picky.

Now that I think about it,

I did nothing

but to upset her.

I don’t know how she is now.

Is she worrying about me?

Feng,

After this is done,

let’s return to Jiangning.

I thought about that, too.

As if in a trance.

It feels like

Tan’er is here with me.

She smiles at me.

She calls my name.

Yeah.

I feel that, too.

She calls your name, too?

No.

I hear my wife calling me.

That’s odd.

I thought you weren’t that happy.

You don’t understand.

Sometimes,

after losing, only then one realizes to cherish.

As I recall,

I have spat with my wife every day.

Now that I don’t, it’s peaceful indeed.

But

I start to miss those days.

Stop thinking about it.

Annoyed by you as she was,

she probably found another guy.

You are so…

And maybe…

Maybe she thought you were dead

and married to someone else.

You

No,

I must go back to her.

I must go back.

-Li. - I must go back to my wife.

Li.

We only have ten days’ supplies.

If we leave,

people in Lin’an City has no one to depend on.

What can we do if we stay?

We can save them for a while, but we can’t save them forever.

Since we returned,

all we wanted to do was to help.

I understand,

but…

It’s those bandits to be blamed.

Fang Tianlei, you bas…

Li,

we are on other people’s property.

I miss my wife.

My wife.

My wife.

My wife.

My dearest wife.

I can’t believe such beauty exits not in haven, but here.

If I can have you,

I could ask nothing more.

Commander.

Did you find the person on the portrait?

Not yet.

I have one more thing to report.

Spell.

The sales have been reducing since

three days ago.

We haven’t sold anything

today.

How come?

I have no idea.

I’ve already had somebody work on that.

Three days.

It has been three days, and you still don’t know why.

Go figure it out

who is behind this.

Yes, your honor.

Sorry that I scared you.

Military consoler,

why didn’t you tell me that you’re awake?

I’ve just got up.

What’s this?

What?

I can’t eat it?

If you want it,

have at it, then.

I want one more.

Your honor,

it’s a hot day,

you come here to have a free dissert?

Finally, you give it back to me.

I’ve wanted to do so for quite a while.

But as to the powder,

I can only offer you a portion that is enough to protect yourself.

There are rules here.

Fine.

As long as it’s enough for me.

Thank you, my Ladyship.

Right,

I have someone counted

the supplies you brought back.

It’s only enough for a while.

There are so many victims in Lin’an City.

I don’t think we can last for too long.

So,

let’s discuss whether there are other ways to

raise more supplies.

I’m afraid we are out of ways.

All the supplies from the nearby towns are here.

In a short term of time,

we can’t gather more supplies.

I know that.

That’s why I’m worried.

I concurred

this City.

Even though I didn’t mean to,

I’m responsible for

the victims here.

You know what I mean, right?

Military consoler.

Yes, I do.

Alrighty,

stop worrying.

I’ll solve the problems

about the supplies.

Thanks.

You are too polite, your Ladyship.

Stop calling me ‘your Ladyship’.

Why?

Because it sounds

similar to princess.

No, it’s not.

You may call me Liu Dabiao.

Or Dabiao.

If you don’t want to call me that,

I have a nick name,

Liu Xigua.

If you want to call me Xigua,

I wouldn’t mind.

As long as you are not my enemy,

I can tolerate anything.

Because you truly are a capable person.

Well,

thanks for handling the supplies.

Let me know the reward you desire.

I don’t need any reward.

Dabiao.

Don’t call me by this name so loudly.

I don’t want to lose face

as I’m the leader.

Roger.

Dabiao.

Xuanwei Camp

Hi.

Commander,

I’ve found out the cause.

There are people who

distribute food to the victims.

Who are they?

It should be Badao Camp.

Liu Dabiao?

Yes.

Commander,

what should we do?

Should we

lower the price?

No.

Since she has the heart of a Bodhisattva,

I’ll let her keep giving the food away for free.

Let’s see how long she can last.

Holy Master.

I’ve finally finished,

through seven days of monitoring.

A thousand guns.

Now that we have them,

we can concur the cities

and win every battle.

After we finish training the soldiers,

we should move.

I’m so sick of this place.

Where should we go next?

Xinwu? Jiangning?

Don’t ask.

Where can we see the guns?

Here.

We relocated the weight.

It becomes handier.

We also improved the fuse.

Now it’s faster.

Zheng Biao.

Here.

Reward him.

Yes.

The Wu Dynasty

possesses such a huge powder magazine,

but it is only used to build artillery.

It’s heavy and clumsy.

Their minds

are too outdated.

The battlefield will be dominated by

these light weapons.

Possessing the guns means

we have an army that is

undefeatable.

Fang Qiong.

Here.

Distribute them to the camps.

Start training the soldiers to master them.

Yes.

Teacher,

if this is curved,

won’t it be handier?

You’re way more proficient in building weapons

than I am.

See.

You are quite slick.

Now you begin to say nonsense to me.

Holy Master,

I have one more weapon that

I’d like to show you.

One more?

Let me see.

This way, please.

Brother,

be careful.
