[Pretty Guardian of the City]

[Episode 1]

[Cangyue City]

This is

the map of Lord Zhang's Hot Spring Villa.

Here.

If we dig down forty or fifty meters,

we can definitely find the mouth of the hot spring.

This is the map

of Master Liu's tomb.

The graveyard must be

in the southeast of the city.

The land is on the dragon whiskers.

Although it's feeble,

it still can get some dragon aura.

My name is Luo Xiyun.

I was born with the poison of heartburn，

and I have experienced many changes in the world.

I disguised myself as Yunxi for the last eight years

and lived secretly in Jianjia Alley.

With the ancestral skill of mapping,

I've become the most popular folk cartographer

in Cangyue City.

No wonder that the roof is sinking.

The proportion of the roof is wrong.

The ratio of the upper cornice and the eave column

should be three to ten.

Otherwise, it won't be stable.

The master of Cangyue City has an order.

From now on,

we begin the construction project

for the whole Cangyue City

The project concerns the foundation of

Cangyue City in future generations.

Each shop

should strictly follow the city's construction policy.

Although we only get to know each other

for a short time,

we're still close.

I treat you like my brother.

I am determined to

win the competition today.

I can only accept success but not failure.

Training troops for a thousand days,

I'll use them for today.

Ham.

I'm counting on you today.

Show me your manner as a general,

and run fast.

You hear me?

I know you understand.

Come on.

Go! Go! Go!

Go! Go! Go!

Go! Go!

Go! Go!

[The fifth Pig Competition of Cangyue City]

Brother,

you miused the power of the Chief Inspector

to block the road to race pigs.

I'm sure you'll be impreached

by those old men.

Look at you.

You know

we can't compare with you.

Who says I am racing pigs here?

I'm just training them.

I'll let them

to measure the length of Imperial Street

so that I can plan the time for repair.

-You win. -You win.

I hereby announce

the fifth Pig Competition of Cangyue City

begins now.

Yes.

Yeah!

Yes.

This is the Water Dragon from Prince Kang's Mansion.

He's just

an ignorant playboy.

He's good at playing with pigs and dogs.

He's good at playing around.

He doesn't know anything about construction.

It's just that the Master of Cangyue City

wants to secure his position as the young master,

so he named him as the Chief Inspector.

Bravo! Bravo!

Bravo! Bravo!

Next one, please.

There is a pig in Prince Jing's Mansion.

Kun is brave and its hooves are fast enough to generate wind.

Bravo.

Bravo.

Brother!

Yun'er, run!

Brother.

Today,

I can avenge you.

Brother, it's an emergency.

Take care of it for me.

Go!

My pig!

Say something.

This pig.

It's full of treasures.

For example, the spine

can be stewed.

Yes.

You can have a sauerkraut stewed pork bone.

and have aftertaste in your mouth.

The liver and kidney can be fried.

Anyway,

you can cook it in so many ways and all of them are delicious.

Get off.

Awesome!

On your mark.

Ready!

You're the best.

Come on, Ham.

Ham is the first.

Ham. Ham.

You are a good Ham.

Come on.

Kun.

Ham, go!

Ham, go!

Bravo.

Go!

To win the first prize, don't look back.

Ham, run!

Brother.

I think you should give up.

The first prize this time

must belong to my Kun.

Shut up.

Come on.

Go! Go!

Go! Go!

Go! Go!

Go! Go!

Run! Run!

Come on!

This...

Brother, you...

This...

You are cheating!

I am holding the competition,

so I can make the rules.

What can you do about it?

Come on.

It's flying!

Assassin!

Protect Young Master!

Jiang Chaoxi!

Let me kill you!

What should we do?

Run!

You...

Who are you?

Do you know it is the death penalty

to assassinate me?

Someone who wants to kill you.

The smell...

Young Master.

Shameless!

Young Master.

My Young Master.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Where is she?

Candied haws!

Candied haws!

Jiang Chaoxi.

I didn't kill you today.

I will take this pig as interest on money.

I'm back.

[Jianjiang Alley]

I heard that Old Li

is sick again.

Sister, you're back.

We are having a roasted pig today.

Sister Yun,

you're so nice to us.

It's almost burnt.

Time to eat.

Enough.

[Eastern Mansion of Xiao'ao]

My Ham is gone.

Whose Ham?

My precious racing pig.

It must have been stolen.

Besides, who wants to kill me?

Who did I offend?

If you weren't so naughty,

how could the assassin

get the chance to kill you?

You are definitely not my uncle.

I was assassinated.

How can you say that to me?

Your uncle is right.

What did I ask you to do?

The construction of Cangyue City.

And what did you do?

You used your power to indulge in playing around.

You ask me to be in charge of the construction,

but I can't even understand a map.

You are making me do something entirely beyond me.

Young Master,

You will be the Master of Cangyue City one day,

so you need to make some achievements to pave your way in advance.

What's the Master of Cangyue City?

I don't care.

In that case,

you don't need to inspect

the city's construction.

Great.

Then you should behave yourself,

get married,

and have a baby as soon as possible.

While I can still move,

I'll personally cultivate your children.

What do you think?

So many girls.

Do you like anyone?

Mother,

this painting is very realistic.

But it lacks some lingering charm.

This paiting has a good artistic conception.

This...

This is good.

[Royal Censor Zhang Zhiyuan's eldest daughter Zhang Hanyu]

This painting is very rare.

Exaggerated and unruly.

No matter how distorted the character is,

it has to present

her cute little face.

I knew these vulgar women

are not my son's type.

How about this one?

[Prince Xiao Huasheng's only daughter Xiao Fengyi]

This girl is lively and cute,

as well as elegant and beautiful.

Isn't this my cousin Fengyi?

Why are you

so disobedient?

Madam,

The Star Astronomy Bureau has predicted

the Young Master's destined girl.

Who is she?

Is it Fengyi?

The Star Astronomy Bureau didn't say

who she is.

But they inferred that

she would be saved three times by the Young Master.

In other words, the so-called love for three saves.

love for three saves?

Mother,

since my marriage

is destined,

let Feng Yi

marry to someone else.

Stop right there!

I must settle

your marriage with Fengyi today.

Mother,

I really have something urgent to do.

You see we haven't caught the assassin,

and found Ham yet.

If I stay longer,

Ham will be well-cooked.

You...

Look at him.

Have some meat.

It smells so good.

It smells so good.

It's pork.

It smells so good.

I'll take this chunk.

Heiya.

What are you doing?

They are choosing a wife for Young Master

in our Cangyue City.

Whether wealthy or poor,

as long as the girl is saved three times by our Young Master,

she'll be his destined one.

I'm going to be Young Master's wife.

You little chick.

Look at yourself.

Young Master's wife?

You're in a daydream.

It's better than

thinking about nothing all day.

What if it comes true?

It's all because of you.

Don't blame me for nagging.

Even the fat girl and the skinny girl

at the alley

are proposed by others.

Look at you.

You always jump here and there,

living in the pile of men.

Come.

Aunt Xu.

I've just peeled the thigh meat.

Try it.

Don't you think I'll let you off easily.

Come on. Eat it.

Uncle Jin, where's Xiao Qing?

Why didn't you ask him to come over for meat?

He's probably picking flowers right now.

Xiao Qing.

Didn't I tell you

not to come to the back mountain during this season?

You know you will get rashes

if you touch the flowers.

Do you want to die?

Where did you go today?

A client asked me to draw up

a planning map of the villa.

I went to measure it on site.

Yunxi,

we grew up together.

You can't fool me.

Tell me.

Why did you assassinate Young Master?

What are you talking about?

How could I kill him?

Don't think too much.

I just roasted a pig.

Let's go and eat the meat.

And these flowers

should be brewed soon.

I love

the flower wine you made.

[Notice for a missing pig]

[It looks like this.]

Now it is put up

all over the street.

Besides, the assassination of the Young Master

is spread out everywhere.

And you

happened to bring back a pig today.

I just came across the pig

by accident.

Fine.

Forget it if you don't want to tell me.

I'll help you kill him.

If I fail,

it's worth it to die for you.

Don't do anything stupid.

Fine.

I am the assassin.

But it's all a misunderstanding.

I didn't mean to kill him.

I just want to

marry him.

Marry him!

Rumor has it that the Young Master is going to get married.

The girl saved three times by him

will be his destined wife.

So,

I want to creat a dangerous situation

for myself

so that he can save me.

Why do you want to marry the Young Master?

I...

I...

Isn't it good to stay in our Jianjia Alley?

Yes, it's good.

That's exactly why I want to marry

the most promising man

in Cangyue City.

I can use my marriage

in exchange for a bright future

for everyone in Jianjia Alley.

After all, wealth is coming out of danger.

Alright.

Let's not talk about this.

Look

what I prepared for you.

Do you like it?

I knew it.

Xiao Qing

looks the best in this.

Stop.

Young Master.

The Imperial Street is a bit strange today.

It seems to have a murderous vibe.

Young Master, I'm here!

Help!

Young Master!

Young Master!

Young Master.

I think they're all here for you.

It's all because of my charm. Let's go.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

Young Master.

Young Master.

Aunt.

My goodness.

This...

So much money?

Aunt,

take this money

to improve the food quality

for everyone.

Don't be so stingy.

When I was young,

I ate too many radishes and vegetables,

and I was always starving.

Yunxi,

you hid so much money.

And it took you so long to take it out.

Aunt.

What's wrong with me giving you the money?

If you had taken it out earlier,

I could buy you some expensive tonics.

And maybe your weak body

have long been cured.

Yunxi,

are you sick again?

I'll go...

I'll go find Dr. Qi.

Yunxi, it's fine.

Come.

Yunxi.

Dr. Qi is here.

Yunxi,

I'll go cook.

Xiao Qing.

Yunxi.

Come and boil some water for me.

Thank you for your time, Dr. Qi.

You don't have to say thanks.

Yunxi,

you used the strong medicine

to suppress the poison of heartburn in your heart again, right?

How many times have I told you?

It can relieve pain,

but it just fights fire with fire.

Those medicines will only deepen the toxin in your heart

and make your poison flare-ups more frequent.

How long can I live?

One year tops.

Or

only six months left.

That's enough.

Father,

because of that love for three rescues,

the whole city's girls

are waiting for me to save them.

What should I do?

Just choose one and marry her.

Everyone will be happy.

Do you think I'm you?

I mean,

getting married now will distract me

and hold me back,

affecting the construction of Cangyue City.

It's fine.

So that you won't say

I always force you in the future.

Besides,

you can't even

read the map.

I can learn!

Who dares to teach you now?

Nonsense.

Cangyue City is full of talents.

People from other cities

are also lining up to teach me.

You don't have to worry about that.

Now I've made up my mind.

I will do my best

to build Cangyue City

till my heart ceases to beat.

Well I don't have to sacrifice my life.

Fine.

I'll give you one more chance.

Really?

I don't believe

I can't teach you a lesson.

You must keep

this jade comb.

Brother!

Yun'er, run!

Brother.

I will kill Jiang Chaoxi

to avenge you!

Wonderful.

Chicken is chicken, and duck is duck.

The monkey is wearing a flower.

This painting is honored to have been verified by you.

Its value will be greatly increased.

By the way,

have you found Luo Hexuan?

Master,

We haven't found anything

about him yet.

Rest assured, Master.

This time, during the demolition and construction of the city,

we can count all households.

As long as Luo Hexuan is in Cangyue City,

we will find him.

It's been eight years.

I've been waiting for too long.

Those who obtain the Fengchi will live forever.

As long as we find Luo Hexuan,

we can find Fengchi.

This is

my lifelong pursuit.

Master,

we've been looking for him for so long,

but we haven't found him.

Could it be that Luo Hexuan and his sister

are dead?

I don't care.

Even if he dies, I want to see his body.

Luo Hexuan

knows a lot of my secrets.

Besides,

I sent so many people to look for him

but none of them came back alive.

They might have died

at his hands.

So

this time, even if you

turn the city upside down,

you'll have to find him for me!

Yes.

How is Young Master lately?

He has been working hard.

I heard

he wants to learn mapping.

It seems

he has learned his lesson

and is ready to be a new person.

That's great.

As long as I'm here,

and he is a good boy,

he can be

a well-behaved heir.

Bad news!

Bad news!

Young Master is here to learn mapping again.

Slowly.

Hide.

Hurry.

[Planning Room]

Young Master is here.

Why is no one welcoming him?

Welcome.

Welcome, Young Master.

Please forgive me

for not welcoming you in the hallway.

I just heard outside that your planning room

is busy.

Why wasn't there anyone here

when I arrived?

You all have been avoiding me, right?

Of course not, Young Master.

The entire planning room is

looking forward to seeing you

like we long for stars and the moon.

Stop!

Where are them?

We are longing for the stars.

It's still daytime now.

What did you say?

My young master,

in the planning room,

everyone who has some skills

is tortured by you.

No.

I mean,

you

are too smart

and too talented.

We, the ordinary ones, can't teach you.

Don't be so nervous.

I just want you to teach me.

At worst, I can suffer.

I can't do two things at once.

You can't do this and you can't do that.

Do you want our young master

to get one on the street?

Good idea!

Since ancient times, the master hand has been hiding on the street.

We will find a good teacher for you.

The master hand is on the street.

Recruiting from the street?

Interesting.

[Notice]

Recruiting talents.

We wish to recruit a surveyor

to help Young Master build Cangyue City.

[Liaowu Mansion]

One must be proficient in mapping

and feng shui.

Attractive monthly salary. Food and accommodation included.

Promising career prospects.

There are still people here.

Miss.

5, 000 copper coins.

No queuing.

Miss, look.

There are so many people ahead.

If they were chosen,

you would have missed

a good chance to reach success by one step.

Miss, please.

I'm here early in the morning.

When is my turn?

Excuse me.

Miss.

These two...

What are they doing?

You stand here.

That's too much.

Who is she?

What are you doing?

Brother.

Don't you just shove me in front of the queue?

What happened?

Why don't you line up properly?

Since I took your money,

I have to let you stand in the front.

Leave the rest to me.

What?

We've been waiting for so long.

Come down now.

What are you doing?

Get in the back!

Line up at the back!

Line up.

Are you all crazy?

You're crazy!

What do you mean by jumping the queue?

Why are you cursing at me?

Let me ask you.

In this big world,

is this your land?

What do you mean!

Go away.

Miss,

if you are satisfied,

please promote it for me.

My name is

Scalper.

Young Master,

don't make it hard for yourself.

Let's get married.

Marry you?

I won't believe it!

In such a big city,

I can't find

a suitable candidate.

Go on.

Next.

If I do it now,

I might not be able to kill him in one move.

Jiang Chaoxi always has bodyguards at his side.

It seems that I have to find a way

to stay by his side

and find another chance.

Why is there a woman?

Miss,

we're not hiring maids today.

You can come next time.

I'm here to apply for the surveyor position.

The notice said

the candidate needs to know mapping.

But you didn't say you only recruit men.

A girl

knows mapping?

Zhu Wen, test her.

Let me ask you.

If there is no long bamboo stick,

how should we measure the depth of water?

You should tie a hammer

to a rope of fine yarn

and throw it under the water.

In that case,

how long is the rope in the water, how deep is the water.

Let me ask again.

we can't construct without mapping.

What should we do to draw a map?

According to the map of Yugong,

there are six elements to making maps.

Ratio, accuracy, milage,

level, slope, and tortuosity.

I prefer mapping to scale.

More precise.

Keep her.

Thank you, Young Master.

Congratulations on entering the second round.

As a surveyor,

one needs not only

professional skills,

but a healthy body.

Let's begin.

Let me see

your strength.

You can try to lift

the most weight you can bear.

Who lifts the highest can stay.

Come on! Come on!

I'm afraid

I can't beat them.

It seems that I need to pull some tricks.

What are you doing?

Young Master,

the most important thing for me

is to shoulder the responsibility

to help you build Cangyue City.

You see.

This responsibility

is so heavy.

Fine.

I like what you said.

Stay.

Thank you, Young Master.

Young Master.

Who threw it?

Did you throw it?

Young Master.

Bad news.

There are water snake caves under Dongze Lake.

So the foundation of the Ancestral Temple is unstable.

Lord Song sent me to ask you

how to deal with it.

Why are you asking me

how to deal with it?

Just build the temple

in another place.

Young Master,

the Ancestral Temple worships the ancestors of the Jiang family.

We can't simply change the site.

Trees move to death; people move to life.

Maybe they'll thank me

if we change the site.

Go burn some incense

and tell my ancestors that they're moving.

Young Master.

Didn't you promise Master

to do things well?

To move ancestral graves,

isn't it too careless

if we just burn some incense?

You're right.

I was careless.

You!

What's your name?

Yunxi.

how will you find the water snake caves?

Please wait a moment.

You'll know soon.

Human beings and all things are in symbiosis.

To build houses and the city,

in addition to understanding the environment and feng shui,

you should also know

the features of nearby plants and animal habits.

If you want to know

where the water snake caves are,

the easiest way

is to ask the water snakes.

Ask them?

Look at the water.

Aren't you just feeding snakes?

The west of the lake

is about 17 meters away offshore.

The buoy is moving now.

It means there is no water snake cave there.

You are really smart.

Of course.

I've been smart since I was young.

Your trick. Draw a snake out of its hole.

I've already thought of it.

I was just testing your ability.

So, we can lay the foundation of the Ancestral Temple

20 meters away

from the west shore.

Are you sure this is the right distance?

My eyes are the ruler.

If you don't believe me,

you can ask someone to measure it.

I just

praised you a little.

And you want to create an opportunity

for me to save you?

-Young Master, I... -Don't worry.

I'll give you a chance later.

Here.

Yes.

Look here.

Okay.

This is a construction site.

How dare he bring a woman here for fun?

He is really an useless young master.

Lord Song.

Lord Song!

He's here.

Oh my god.

Here.

Here's your chance.

Seize it.

Young Master.

How's your ride, Young Master?

You came in person.

You should tell me ahead of time next time,

so that I can welcome you.

I don't need it.

I and my beauty

just feed the fish,

and we find out

where the water snake caves are.

Listen.

Just lay the foundation

20 meters offshore

to the west.

No, Young Master.

What is the ground

for laying the foundation there?

What ground?

My words are the ground.

Don't you forget to mention

how hard I work for the temple

in front of my father

and my uncle.

Understood.

-Understand? -Yes, yes, sir.

Yes.

Okay, you may leave.

Okay.

Be careful.

Young Master is here!

Cheer up!

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Don't stand in my way.

This way.

Hurry up.

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

I'm going over there.

Alrighty.

Young Master.

The job I applied for

is a surveyor to assist you,

not a beauty who plays with you.

Tell me.

What is your purpose

of approaching me?
