♫ The evening breeze caresses my weary brow ♫

00:00:29,810 --> 00:00:35,780
♫ And lures the clouds to linger just for me ♫
5
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:43,590
♫ Though so much time has passed, I can't help but look back ♫
6
00:00:43,590 --> 00:00:51,650
♫ The sleepless heavens keep vigil with me as I wander in my dreams ♫
7
00:00:51,650 --> 00:00:55,330
♫ How can a fleeting mirage defy the sands of time? ♫
8
00:00:55,330 --> 00:00:58,920
♫ In this barren desert, no oasis can I find ♫
9
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:06,130
♫ Time has reclaimed the eternity I once promised ♫
10
00:01:06,130 --> 00:01:09,820
♫ Who now stumbles upon your tenderness? ♫

00:01:09,820 --> 00:01:12,650
♫ Who still stands steadfast? ♫
12

♫ In the end, I silently endure, yet find no salvation ♫

[Everlasting Longing]
18
00:01:43,220 --> 00:01:44,950
The world remains unsettled.
19
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:47,490
Wars between nations rage on.
20
00:01:47,490 --> 00:01:52,670
Beixuan, Yannan, Xixiang. There are three nations.
21
00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:57,690
Beixuan is known for its valor in battle, but its Five Clans, Xuan, Xi, Luo, Sun, and Su,
22
00:01:57,690 --> 00:02:00,310
act independently, leading to endless internal conflicts.
23
00:02:00,310 --> 00:02:04,760
The matter of electing a Wolf Lord is now urgent.
24
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:11,710
With its flourishing commerce, Yannan is barely able to contend with Beixuan.
25
00:02:11,710 --> 00:02:16,940
Weapons designed by Yannan's Jun family are key to national defense.
26
00:02:16,940 --> 00:02:18,440
[Ten-Arrow Crossbow Blueprint]
27
00:02:21,060 --> 00:02:23,030
Father, rest assured.
28
00:02:23,030 --> 00:02:28,944
I will fulfill my duty as Baigong's heir, protecting both Yannan and the Jun family.
29
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,340
Xuan Shu, Leader of Beixuan's Xuan Clan,
30
00:02:32,340 --> 00:02:35,470
was killed by a weapon crafted by Baigong's heir.
31
00:02:35,470 --> 00:02:39,760
His son, Xuan Lie, investigated for years and finally discovered that Baigong's heir
32
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,620
is Jun Fei Fan, eldest son of Yannan's Jun family.
33
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,060
[Episode 1]
34
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:29,400
[Jun Qi Luo, eldest daughter of Jun family's main branch, Yannan.]
35
00:03:32,050 --> 00:03:33,590
Father.
36
00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:39,540
Have you found the black iron crystal?
37
00:03:39,540 --> 00:03:42,880
We have searched all over Yannan. [Jun Cheng Liu, head of the main branch]
38
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,200
There is still no news.
39
00:03:46,990 --> 00:03:49,220
Tomorrow, our trade caravan will head to Xixiang.
40
00:03:49,220 --> 00:03:51,980
I can use this chance to search within their borders.
41
00:03:51,980 --> 00:03:53,180
I will not allow you to go.
42
00:03:53,180 --> 00:03:55,300
Father!
43
00:03:55,300 --> 00:04:01,480
You must pass through the Lawless Zone, which borders Beixuan and is full of bandits.
44
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,450
Right now, the five tribes of Beixuan are in the midst of electing a Wolf Lord.
45
00:04:04,450 --> 00:04:06,050
The border is in chaos.
46
00:04:06,050 --> 00:04:08,170
- I worry that if anything happens...
- Father.
47
00:04:08,170 --> 00:04:10,760
You have allowed Fei Fan to escort the trade caravans before,
48
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,237
but the black iron crystal is crucial for improving the crossbow.
49
00:04:13,237 --> 00:04:15,780
Once Beixuan elects its Wolf Lord, their next move will be to attack Yannan.
50
00:04:15,780 --> 00:04:18,180
If we cannot find the black iron crystal before then
51
00:04:18,180 --> 00:04:22,310
and solve the crossbow's durability issue, I fear the King will hold us accountable.
52
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:27,420
So, whether it is Xixiang or even Beixuan, I must give it a try.
53
00:04:27,420 --> 00:04:29,380
You...
54
00:04:29,380 --> 00:04:30,920
Father.
55
00:04:33,860 --> 00:04:36,110
Listen to me, child.
56
00:04:36,110 --> 00:04:38,230
Return to your identity as a girl.
57
00:04:38,230 --> 00:04:41,060
Stop taking such risks.
58
00:04:41,060 --> 00:04:44,470
Father, even if I return to being a girl,
59
00:04:44,470 --> 00:04:47,810
I will still need to design weapons for the King as Baigong's heir.
60
00:04:47,810 --> 00:04:49,754
Our ancestral rule does not allow women to lead the family.
61
00:04:49,754 --> 00:04:54,230
Are you willing to hand over the family legacy to the second branch?
62
00:04:55,050 --> 00:04:57,860
I guarantee that within a year,
63
00:04:57,860 --> 00:05:02,280
Jun Yu Jue will squander everything the Jun family has built over decades.
64
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:05,250
Moreover, since I was seven, I have made this decision.
65
00:05:05,250 --> 00:05:11,130
Unless a better heir appears in the family, I will remain Jun Fei Fan for life.
66
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,904
You caught me again.
67
00:05:17,904 --> 00:05:19,707
You always use the same tricks.
[Jun Jiang Juan, youngest daughter]
68
00:05:19,707 --> 00:05:22,280
Try something different next time.
69
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:24,168
What brings you here?
70
00:05:24,790 --> 00:05:27,450
I heard Father wants you to return to being a girl, and marry Qi Min.
71
00:05:27,450 --> 00:05:29,160
Did you agree?
72
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,380
It is just a stalling tactic.
73
00:05:31,380 --> 00:05:34,230
I knew it. How could you agree?
74
00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:37,790
Qi Min is great, and he follows your every word,
75
00:05:37,790 --> 00:05:40,650
but I have always felt you two are not a good match.
76
00:05:40,650 --> 00:05:42,810
Do you not agree, Xiu Kun?
77
00:05:44,030 --> 00:05:47,600
Qi Min is the only outsider who has earned Fei Fan's trust over the years
78
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,388
and knows her identity.
[Jun Xiu Kun, second daughter]
79
00:05:49,388 --> 00:05:51,790
I think he is the best choice.
80
00:05:51,790 --> 00:05:55,250
Fei Fan has expanded the family business to 80 shops across Yannan
81
00:05:55,250 --> 00:05:59,710
and created a joint capital management system, leading Yannan's people toward prosperity.
82
00:05:59,710 --> 00:06:01,760
How could any ordinary man be her match?
83
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,350
If Fei Fan truly returns to being a girl and gets married,
84
00:06:04,350 --> 00:06:06,820
her match must be an exceptional man.
85
00:06:06,820 --> 00:06:08,340
I do not need a man.
86
00:06:08,340 --> 00:06:15,060
My greatest wish in this life is to protect the family, you two, and Father.
87
00:06:15,060 --> 00:06:17,110
Tomorrow, I will travel to Xixiang for trade.
88
00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:20,360
Xiu Kun, you have the best embroidery skills among us three.
89
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,450
Keep an eye on the embroiderers of Gold Embroidery and Brocade Embroidery.
90
00:06:24,450 --> 00:06:26,590
Jiang Juan, you are full of clever ideas.
91
00:06:26,590 --> 00:06:30,860
While I am away, cheer up Father often, and help Uncle Ling manage the shops.
92
00:06:30,860 --> 00:06:33,662
If anything happens at the jewelry store, inform Father immediately.
93
00:06:33,662 --> 00:06:36,702
Fei Fan, when will you return?
94
00:06:37,910 --> 00:06:40,710
I will be back before the business conference.
95
00:06:45,030 --> 00:06:48,783
Father, if the second branch causes any more trouble while I am gone,
96
00:06:48,783 --> 00:06:51,710
you must punish them severely. Do not be lenient or indulgent.
97
00:06:51,710 --> 00:06:54,620
With me here, they cannot do anything.
98
00:06:54,620 --> 00:06:58,230
This journey is dangerous. Be extremely careful.
99
00:06:58,230 --> 00:06:59,720
Father, do not worry.
100
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,590
It is not my first trip to Xixiang.
101
00:07:01,590 --> 00:07:04,450
Young Master, all goods have been checked.
102
00:07:04,450 --> 00:07:06,030
Father, we are leaving.
103
00:07:06,030 --> 00:07:09,340
All right. Qi Min, keep Fei Fan safe.
104
00:07:09,340 --> 00:07:10,940
Rest assured, Master.
[Shao Qi Min, guard]
105
00:07:10,940 --> 00:07:14,420
I will protect the young master with my life, and ensure her safe return.
106
00:07:14,420 --> 00:07:16,420
- You—
- Fei Fan.
107
00:07:17,060 --> 00:07:19,760
For some reason, I feel uneasy today.
108
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,670
Take this safety talisman with you.
109
00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:25,330
Xiu Kun embroidered this, but I selected the fragrant stones inside.
110
00:07:25,330 --> 00:07:28,960
Their scent calms the mind and steadies the nerves.
111
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,761
Where did you find such wonderful things?
112
00:07:30,761 --> 00:07:32,920
These could be next year's new products for the jewelry store.
113
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,820
Fei Fan, stop thinking about products and business all the time.
114
00:07:35,820 --> 00:07:38,420
Pay more attention to your safety.
115
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:41,450
We are leaving now.
116
00:07:41,450 --> 00:07:44,280
All right, go ahead.
117
00:07:58,940 --> 00:08:01,380
[The Lawless Zone, Leather City]
118
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,600
What happened?
119
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,160
Oh no, it is horse plague.
120
00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:27,610
The climate here is unstable.
121
00:08:27,610 --> 00:08:29,350
We should leave as soon as possible.
122
00:08:29,350 --> 00:08:32,010
Notify everyone. Deal with all infected horses on the spot.
123
00:08:32,010 --> 00:08:33,660
Inspect thoroughly. No mistake is allowed.
124
00:08:33,660 --> 00:08:35,300
Understood.
125
00:08:39,540 --> 00:08:42,030
Young Master, I just checked.
126
00:08:42,030 --> 00:08:43,590
Less than half of our horses remain.
127
00:08:43,590 --> 00:08:46,370
We might not make it to Xixiang on time.
128
00:08:46,370 --> 00:08:52,890
Arriving late means triple compensation, and a delayed search for black iron crystals.
129
00:08:59,250 --> 00:09:00,790
Chief.
130
00:09:01,900 --> 00:09:03,440
The official road ahead has collapsed.
131
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,390
If we do not reach Xixiang soon, it may hinder the Leader's plan.
132
00:09:07,390 --> 00:09:09,400
Let us see if there is another route.
133
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:10,560
All right.
134
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:12,520
Everyone, rest here!
135
00:09:14,390 --> 00:09:18,680
If we could borrow their horses, we might make it to Xixiang on time.
136
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,640
Who do you think has the best chance of winning the Wolf Lord Election this time?
137
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,160
- Of course, Xuan Lie.
- They are from Beixuan.
138
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,520
I heard he was born with the Xuan's hawk totem as a birthmark on his neck.
139
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,680
That is the sign of a chosen Xuan Leader.
140
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:33,750
He and the King come from the same lineage.
141
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:35,960
The Wolf Lord position is surely his.
142
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,800
Our Leader is formidable too.
143
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,940
- So what if he is impressive?
- Young Master!
144
00:09:40,940 --> 00:09:42,720
Beixuan and Yannan have a century-old feud.
145
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,020
- They are immoral.
- What do you know?
146
00:09:44,020 --> 00:09:45,270
They only kill and rob.
147
00:09:45,270 --> 00:09:46,520
Merchants value profit.
148
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,040
If we offer them a better choice than killing and robbing, they will agree.
149
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,390
Negotiating with tigers is too risky.
150
00:09:52,390 --> 00:09:54,180
We should wait for the next caravan.
151
00:09:54,180 --> 00:09:55,420
When will that be?
152
00:09:55,420 --> 00:09:57,060
Let us go.
153
00:10:06,210 --> 00:10:10,510
Gentlemen, I am the chief of a caravan heading to Xixiang for trade.
154
00:10:10,510 --> 00:10:15,200
We encountered horse plague en route, so we came here to propose a business deal.
155
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,180
Let them approach.
156
00:10:25,420 --> 00:10:26,490
What is the matter?
157
00:10:26,490 --> 00:10:28,110
- We wish to borrow horses.
- No deal.
158
00:10:28,110 --> 00:10:30,920
One bolt of kesi for borrowing your horses until the next post station.
(T/N: patterned silk fabric)
159
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,030
Kesi?
(T/N: patterned silk fabric)
160
00:10:32,030 --> 00:10:34,700
The Juns' kesi from Yannan is renowned worldwide,
161
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:37,820
exclusively supplied to the royals, and nearly unattainable.
162
00:10:37,820 --> 00:10:40,920
Have you not heard of it?
163
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,460
I have heard of its reputation, of course.
164
00:10:44,460 --> 00:10:46,420
But it is so rare.
165
00:10:46,420 --> 00:10:50,820
I wonder if your kesi is genuine.
166
00:10:50,820 --> 00:10:55,750
They say to observe it against the light, and it should appear sculpted.
167
00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:58,270
When sunlight penetrates its weave,
168
00:10:58,270 --> 00:11:03,450
the gaps shimmer from afar like dewdrops, vivid and lifelike.
169
00:11:07,490 --> 00:11:08,540
Fine.
170
00:11:08,540 --> 00:11:12,280
I am from Xixiang and have traveled this road for years.
171
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,680
With the official road collapsed, I know of a canyon trail.
172
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:19,490
If you need me, I can guide you.
173
00:11:36,270 --> 00:11:38,510
These people do not act like merchants,
174
00:11:38,510 --> 00:11:41,090
and they have been guarding their goods closely along the way.
175
00:11:41,090 --> 00:11:43,060
I am afraid it is not that simple.
176
00:11:43,060 --> 00:11:47,710
Once we pass the canyon ahead, we will break away from the group as soon as possible.
177
00:11:55,070 --> 00:11:56,320
Oh no. They are bandits!
178
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,460
Bandits are coming!
179
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,120
Everyone, stay alert!
180
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,450
Kill them. Leave no survivors!
181
00:13:24,070 --> 00:13:26,710
- Young Master, are you all right?
- I am fine.
182
00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:34,680
Young Master, the bandits of Tiger Stockade have entered the canyon.
183
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:36,540
They are going to raid the caravan.
184
00:13:36,540 --> 00:13:38,090
Find Jun Fei Fan for me!
185
00:13:38,090 --> 00:13:40,250
Leave no bandits alive!
186
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,420
[Xuan Lie, Xuan Clan's Leader, Beixuan]
187
00:13:57,950 --> 00:14:01,810
These people's clothing and weapons are different from the bandits.
188
00:14:03,990 --> 00:14:06,270
It seems they are not together.
189
00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:12,970
They are Xuan Lie's men.
190
00:14:12,970 --> 00:14:15,000
Chief, could it be that our cover has been discovered?
191
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,006
- Let us fight our way out. We must hide our identities.
- All right.
192
00:14:24,820 --> 00:14:26,360
Go.
193
00:14:29,130 --> 00:14:30,670
Young Master!
194
00:14:31,460 --> 00:14:33,400
Young Master?
195
00:15:09,580 --> 00:15:12,020
Are you the chief of this caravan?
196
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,210
Qi Min, are you all right?
197
00:15:34,210 --> 00:15:36,330
Young Master, let us go!
198
00:15:48,990 --> 00:15:51,640
Young Master, we did not find Jun Fei Fan.
199
00:16:02,510 --> 00:16:05,540
Chase them. They are just ahead.
200
00:16:05,540 --> 00:16:06,915
Follow this slope and go.
201
00:16:06,915 --> 00:16:09,390
Find a way to return to Yannan. I will hold them off.
202
00:16:09,390 --> 00:16:12,850
No, I will stay and fight alongside you.
203
00:16:12,850 --> 00:16:14,270
Listen to me.
204
00:16:14,270 --> 00:16:15,910
My life belongs to you.
205
00:16:15,910 --> 00:16:18,490
I swore I would not let anyone hurt you.
206
00:16:18,490 --> 00:16:21,610
- Qi Min.
- Master is still waiting for you to return.
207
00:16:21,610 --> 00:16:23,540
The Jun family needs you.
208
00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:31,940
Go!
209
00:17:09,500 --> 00:17:11,340
Qi Min.
210
00:17:13,210 --> 00:17:15,790
Qi Min!
211
00:17:52,390 --> 00:17:54,890
What are you looking at? Go back.
212
00:18:10,260 --> 00:18:11,910
Master is still waiting for you to return.
213
00:18:11,910 --> 00:18:13,930
The Jun family needs you.
214
00:18:33,020 --> 00:18:35,310
This weapon is so finely crafted.
215
00:18:35,310 --> 00:18:39,360
It must be from the Jun family, made by Jun Fei Fan.
216
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,060
Come out.
217
00:19:05,250 --> 00:19:07,360
You are a woman.
218
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:10,490
Who are you? Where is Jun Fei Fan?
219
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,870
Jun Fei Fan?
220
00:19:12,870 --> 00:19:14,730
I do not know who that is.
221
00:19:15,410 --> 00:19:18,990
You are with the Jun caravan, yet you do not know Jun Fei Fan?
222
00:19:18,990 --> 00:19:20,940
You must be courting death.
223
00:19:22,310 --> 00:19:24,120
I am not part of the Jun caravan.
224
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:26,210
You have got the wrong person.
225
00:19:28,780 --> 00:19:31,460
[Luo Qi, deputy general of the Xuan Clan, Beixuan]
226
00:19:31,460 --> 00:19:37,110
Young Master, we found an exquisite silk product among the seized goods.
227
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,950
As expected of a sharp-tongued Jun from Yannan.
228
00:19:57,950 --> 00:20:00,060
Such intricate embroidery.
229
00:20:00,060 --> 00:20:06,160
Young Lady, if I am not mistaken, this must be the unique kesi of the Juns.
230
00:20:11,060 --> 00:20:13,160
I have never seen such a thing.
231
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,090
Was it found among my caravan's goods?
232
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,850
See? As I told you, you have got the wrong person.
233
00:20:21,850 --> 00:20:24,440
You raided the caravan for wealth.
234
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,300
You can take all the gold, silver, and silks.
235
00:20:27,300 --> 00:20:28,370
Just let me go.
236
00:20:28,370 --> 00:20:31,470
It looks like I have been far too kind to you.
237
00:20:31,470 --> 00:20:33,110
Luo Qi.
238
00:20:36,890 --> 00:20:42,540
Do you want to talk now, or after a little suffering?
239
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,290
What do you want me to say?
240
00:20:45,290 --> 00:20:47,240
I am just an ordinary merchant.
241
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,370
Traveling with that Beixuan caravan was purely a coincidence.
242
00:20:57,530 --> 00:21:01,890
I heard he was born with the Xuan's hawk totem as a birthmark on his neck.
243
00:21:01,890 --> 00:21:03,920
That is the sign of a chosen Xuan Leader.
244
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,160
So he is Xuan Lie. I have got an idea.
245
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,820
You had better understand that my patience is limited.
246
00:21:10,820 --> 00:21:13,390
- Where did the weapons you brought come from?
- Bought them from Yannan.
247
00:21:13,390 --> 00:21:16,740
The Lawless Zone is full of bandits. They are for self-defense.
248
00:21:16,740 --> 00:21:19,480
This time, they came in handy, did they not?
249
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,290
Here is all we have. Take them if you want.
250
00:21:23,290 --> 00:21:25,130
However...
251
00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:31,630
compared to my goods, you might be more interested in the goods of the Beixuan caravan.
252
00:21:31,630 --> 00:21:35,520
I noticed they were guarding the goods in the middle wagon very closely.
253
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,260
A dozen people who did not look like regular guards were watching it.
254
00:21:39,260 --> 00:21:44,450
I suspect there is something incredibly rare inside.
255
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:54,260
We have nothing to do with the Jun caravan, let alone the Beixuan caravan.
256
00:21:54,260 --> 00:21:56,870
This was purely an unfortunate disaster for us.
257
00:21:59,870 --> 00:22:03,920
Beixuan caravan? Jun caravan?
258
00:22:10,150 --> 00:22:13,430
How do you know what my target is?
259
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,320
Young Master,
260
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:30,630
these are the goods from the Jun caravan, and those belong to the other caravan.
261
00:22:33,190 --> 00:22:35,950
Lift harder. I cannot take it anymore.
262
00:22:36,820 --> 00:22:39,480
- Open it.
- Yes.
263
00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:50,640
These are Beixuan weapons.
264
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,990
Search every crate.
265
00:22:58,130 --> 00:23:02,130
They are using a caravan as cover to smuggle military supplies.
266
00:23:02,740 --> 00:23:07,160
Though the Five Clans act independently, smuggling military supplies is a serious crime.
267
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,820
Which clan dares to do something so bold?
268
00:23:09,820 --> 00:23:11,770
Spread the word.
269
00:23:11,770 --> 00:23:14,300
Someone is smuggling military supplies under the guise of trade.
270
00:23:14,300 --> 00:23:17,980
The caravan chief has been detained by us and is undergoing interrogation at the military camp.
271
00:23:17,980 --> 00:23:19,464
Young Master, you are truly wise.
272
00:23:19,464 --> 00:23:23,100
If they know we have hostages, they will try to silence them.
273
00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:26,500
Then they will be walking into our trap.
274
00:23:45,290 --> 00:23:50,200
Young Master, last night in the cell, I heard you calling Jun Fei Fan...
275
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:51,940
a Young Lady.
276
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:54,810
Yes.
277
00:23:54,810 --> 00:23:56,290
She is really a woman?
278
00:23:56,290 --> 00:23:58,770
Does that mean we have caught the wrong person?
279
00:23:58,770 --> 00:24:00,400
That cannot be...
280
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,200
I heard the bandits from Tiger Stockade were targeting the Jun family.
281
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,100
Their intelligence should not be wrong.
282
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,370
The Juns must have known we were after Jun Fei Fan and deliberately spread false information to confuse us.
283
00:24:11,370 --> 00:24:17,920
Yet we have not found anything that proves this Yannan caravan belongs to the Jun family.
284
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,370
Except for this bolt of kesi.
285
00:24:21,060 --> 00:24:22,680
Contact our informants.
286
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:27,300
Investigate how many female relatives the Juns have and find out Jun Fei Fan's current whereabouts.
287
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:31,060
Young Master, Yannan adheres strictly to etiquette and tradition.
288
00:24:31,060 --> 00:24:33,230
Women's names are rarely disclosed.
289
00:24:33,230 --> 00:24:35,620
Also, getting into Yannan is not easy.
290
00:24:35,620 --> 00:24:39,480
If it were easy to enter Yannan or to find Jun Fei Fan,
291
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,310
we would have gone directly there to capture him.
292
00:24:41,310 --> 00:24:43,790
Why would we need to intercept him in the Lawless Zone?
293
00:24:43,790 --> 00:24:45,330
That is true.
294
00:24:45,330 --> 00:24:51,040
But failing to capture Jun Fei Fan this time means we cannot investigate the case of Lord Xuan Shu.
295
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,060
So we must find him.
296
00:24:53,060 --> 00:24:54,470
General. General!
297
00:24:54,470 --> 00:24:56,770
The Yannan prisoner has escaped!
298
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,950
Young Master, what should we do with this Yannan prisoner?
299
00:26:14,950 --> 00:26:16,290
Trying to escape?
300
00:26:16,290 --> 00:26:18,230
She is of no use.
301
00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:19,870
Kill her.
302
00:26:21,820 --> 00:26:24,160
Xuan Lie, you cannot kill me.
303
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,260
You know who the young master is?
304
00:26:26,260 --> 00:26:27,500
You know too much.
305
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:28,870
I definitely cannot let you live.
306
00:26:28,870 --> 00:26:30,950
I know where Jun Fei Fan is.
307
00:26:41,260 --> 00:26:46,150
Yesterday, you swore to me that you had no connection to the Juns.
308
00:26:46,150 --> 00:26:48,860
Now, what story are you planning to sell me?
309
00:26:50,950 --> 00:26:53,480
You could kill me with just a wave of your hand.
310
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,030
How would I dare deceive you?
311
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:23,870
Young Lady Jun, you Yannan women are far too delicate.
312
00:27:25,700 --> 00:27:28,100
If I were a Jun,
313
00:27:28,100 --> 00:27:33,820
I would be enjoying a life of luxury and indulgence right now.
314
00:27:33,820 --> 00:27:38,160
Why would I appear here, disheveled, making a fool of myself in front of you?
315
00:27:39,630 --> 00:27:45,390
If you were not a member of the Jun family, how would you know Jun Fei Fan's whereabouts?
316
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,500
You are not wrong, but you have only guessed half of it.
317
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:56,100
I am, let us say, half a member of the Jun family.
318
00:27:56,100 --> 00:28:01,200
Actually, I am Young Master Fei Fan's personal maid.
319
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,260
My name is Qi Luo.
320
00:28:07,370 --> 00:28:08,780
Why are you looking at me like that?
321
00:28:08,780 --> 00:28:12,190
I admire the fact that you can lie so calmly and confidently.
322
00:28:12,190 --> 00:28:14,500
It is truly impressive.
323
00:28:28,900 --> 00:28:30,060
[Jun]
324
00:28:37,990 --> 00:28:40,630
I have slightly altered the Jun Trade Token.
325
00:28:40,630 --> 00:28:43,530
The Baigong Token is hidden inside.
[Jun]
326
00:28:49,670 --> 00:28:50,890
Who are you?
327
00:28:50,890 --> 00:28:53,260
I am truly just a maid.
328
00:28:53,260 --> 00:28:56,490
As for why the Jun Trade Token is with me,
329
00:28:57,340 --> 00:28:59,400
it is because...
330
00:29:02,260 --> 00:29:05,300
the Young Master and I are in love.
331
00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:08,100
This was a keepsake he gave me to pledge his feelings.
332
00:29:10,260 --> 00:29:12,580
You and Jun Fei Fan are in love?
333
00:29:12,580 --> 00:29:14,710
Then where is Jun Fei Fan now?
334
00:29:14,710 --> 00:29:16,290
We had a horse plague on the way.
335
00:29:16,290 --> 00:29:19,560
We lost half our horses, and could not reach Xixiang on time.
336
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:24,460
Young Master feared it would upset the merchants in Xixiang, so he went ahead to explain to them.
337
00:29:25,230 --> 00:29:29,640
He told me to follow as soon as I could to meet him there.
338
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,400
Why are you disguised as a man?
339
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,370
And why do the caravan members address you as "Young Master"?
340
00:29:36,530 --> 00:29:40,100
Young Master was worried that without him, the caravan members would lose confidence,
341
00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:43,000
so he ordered me to pretend to be him, covering my face.
342
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,780
That way, morale would not collapse.
343
00:29:52,180 --> 00:29:55,740
Jun Fei Fan entrusted you with the important task of leading the caravan.
344
00:29:55,740 --> 00:29:59,860
It seems he values you greatly.
345
00:30:05,100 --> 00:30:10,500
I value this trade token more than my life.
346
00:30:10,500 --> 00:30:14,200
It is a token of love from Young Master Fei Fan.
347
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,700
Please return it to me, General.
348
00:30:18,940 --> 00:30:21,420
[Jun]
349
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,800
Why so nervous?
350
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,900
Afraid I might damage it?
351
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,100
It is the token of Young Master's love.
352
00:30:40,100 --> 00:30:42,340
Of course, I am nervous.
353
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,500
You are very clever.
354
00:30:48,500 --> 00:30:51,680
It is a waste for you to be a maid.
355
00:30:56,500 --> 00:31:00,100
You are perceptive and adaptable.
356
00:31:00,100 --> 00:31:04,000
If I were Jun Fei Fan, I would make you my advisor.
357
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Would you use a woman as an advisor?
358
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,600
Talent is talent, regardless of background, and regardless of gender.
359
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,580
Of course, I would.
360
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,820
[Jun Mansion]
361
00:31:24,330 --> 00:31:28,400
I heard Fei Fan went with the caravan to Xixiang as well?
362
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,700
Your Majesty, Fei Fan and I searched within Yannan for black iron crystals
363
00:31:31,700 --> 00:31:34,400
for several months but found nothing.
364
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,000
So, Fei Fan went to Xixiang for this.
[Zhao Huang, King of Yannan]
365
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,700
Rest assured, Your Majesty.
366
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:44,400
Fei Fan and I have never dared to neglect this important matter.
367
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,300
How confident are you this time?
368
00:31:47,300 --> 00:31:49,300
Well...
369
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,600
I dare not speak rashly.
370
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:56,100
The Wolf Lord Election in Beixuan is near.
371
00:31:56,100 --> 00:31:58,700
If they unite the Five Clans' military power,
372
00:31:58,700 --> 00:32:02,400
their next step will surely be to attack Yannan.
373
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:09,600
Our crossbows are severely depleted, and improving them is urgent.
374
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:16,400
But you are telling me you cannot guarantee finding black iron crystals?
375
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,400
Your Majesty, Fei Fan and I have never relaxed.
376
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,600
We will spare no effort to solve the mechanism durability issue
377
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,630
and ensure Yannan's peace and stability.
378
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,800
No need.
379
00:32:43,300 --> 00:32:44,700
You may rest for a while.
380
00:32:44,700 --> 00:32:47,500
We will discuss the details of our cooperation later.
381
00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:51,400
Prepare a tent and clean clothes for this...
382
00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:54,600
- young man.
- Yes.
383
00:32:55,700 --> 00:32:57,710
Sir, this way.
384
00:33:08,060 --> 00:33:13,600
Young Master, I feel like you two are...
385
00:33:17,700 --> 00:33:20,900
Young Master, how was my performance?
386
00:33:20,900 --> 00:33:23,500
That Yannan woman was so scared she was sweating cold.
387
00:33:23,500 --> 00:33:26,300
She really thought I was going to kill her.
388
00:33:26,300 --> 00:33:31,100
If I had not stopped in time, you would have cut her nose off.
389
00:33:31,100 --> 00:33:33,700
Young Master, this is what you taught me.
390
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:35,400
We need to play our part thoroughly.
391
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,400
You told me she was full of tricks.
392
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:42,900
If we did not push her into a life-or-death dilemma, how could she be honest with us?
393
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,800
But for noble Beixuan men like us,
394
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:50,400
treating a helpless woman like this... is inappropriate, right?
395
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,600
A helpless woman?
396
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,220
Yes.
397
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,130
Xuan Lie, the undisputed choice for the Beixuan Wolf Lord.
398
00:34:04,130 --> 00:34:07,820
Why is he going through so much trouble to find Jun Fei Fan?
399
00:34:14,900 --> 00:34:17,900
Who is this woman, really?
400
00:34:17,900 --> 00:34:19,900
Does she truly know where Jun Fei Fan is?
401
00:34:19,900 --> 00:34:25,100
She claims to be Jun Fei Fan's maid and his lover.
402
00:34:25,100 --> 00:34:26,900
A lover?
403
00:34:26,900 --> 00:34:29,200
It seems Jun Fei Fan is quite lucky in love.
404
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,400
Even his chambermaid looks this good.
405
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,270
Do you believe her?
406
00:34:36,980 --> 00:34:40,500
If he discovers my identity as Jun Fei Fan, he only needs to detain me
407
00:34:40,500 --> 00:34:43,400
and make the King believe Jun Fei Fan has sworn allegiance to Beixuan.
408
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:48,300
With the King's suspicious nature, he would certainly implicate my family.
409
00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:54,000
I must hide my identity carefully and find a chance to leave as soon as I can.
410
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,700
Young Master, are you saying she is still lying even when facing death?
411
00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:02,600
She indeed has the Jun Trade Token.
412
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,500
She probably does know Jun Fei Fan.
413
00:35:05,500 --> 00:35:08,910
As for the rest, we need to verify.
414
00:35:42,750 --> 00:35:45,050
Young Lady Jun, please sit.
415
00:35:47,100 --> 00:35:49,200
General, whom were you addressing?
416
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:53,300
I momentarily forgot your last name is Qi, not Jun.
417
00:35:53,300 --> 00:35:54,930
Please sit.
418
00:36:00,730 --> 00:36:06,870
Young Lady Qi Luo, now you can tell me where Jun Fei Fan is, correct?
419
00:36:12,060 --> 00:36:16,100
Finding our Young Master is naturally a simple matter for me,
420
00:36:16,100 --> 00:36:18,900
but I still need to negotiate a few terms with you.
421
00:36:18,900 --> 00:36:21,200
Go ahead. What are your terms?
422
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,200
First, you must guarantee my personal safety.
423
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,200
Do not worry. I will not kill you.
424
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:34,400
Second, Young Master Fei Fan entrusted me with the caravan, but I failed to keep them safe.
425
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:39,400
I know I am no match for you and cannot avenge them,
426
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,300
so please give them a proper burial.
427
00:36:44,300 --> 00:36:47,200
It was chaotic. Swords do not distinguish foes in battle.
428
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,500
Killing the Jun caravan was never my intention.
429
00:36:53,980 --> 00:36:56,620
All right, there is no need to say more.
430
00:36:56,620 --> 00:36:58,750
I will give them a proper burial.
431
00:37:05,900 --> 00:37:08,270
You have not eaten for the past two days.
432
00:37:08,270 --> 00:37:10,370
Eat something.
433
00:37:16,210 --> 00:37:19,800
I can agree to the first two terms.
434
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,500
Now, can you tell me where Jun Fei Fan is?
435
00:37:23,500 --> 00:37:25,580
Not yet.
436
00:37:28,140 --> 00:37:30,607
Are you playing games with me?
437
00:37:30,607 --> 00:37:33,420
General, you are overthinking. There is still one matter left unresolved.
438
00:37:33,420 --> 00:37:34,728
Tell me.
439
00:37:34,728 --> 00:37:37,930
General, may I ask what you intend to do with my Young Master?
440
00:37:37,930 --> 00:37:42,250
If it puts him in danger, then of course, I cannot betray him.
441
00:37:42,250 --> 00:37:45,700
Do not worry. I will not kill him.
442
00:37:54,700 --> 00:37:57,100
When eliminating bandits in this area,
443
00:37:57,100 --> 00:38:00,900
I have seen many Beixuan people taking their families to the mountains to become bandits.
444
00:38:00,900 --> 00:38:04,900
Beixuan is economically weak and cannot provide them with livelihoods.
445
00:38:04,900 --> 00:38:07,900
I have heard Jun Fei Fan has helped Yannan's economy thrive
446
00:38:07,900 --> 00:38:10,500
with a joint capital management system.
447
00:38:10,500 --> 00:38:13,300
I want to ask him about it.
448
00:38:13,300 --> 00:38:17,340
If we can help boost Beixuan's economy,
449
00:38:17,340 --> 00:38:21,100
the Beixuan people can have a stable life.
450
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:25,700
General, your concern for the people is truly a blessing for Beixuan.
451
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,100
Young Master Fei Fan is in Xixiang now.
452
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:31,400
I know the merchants he is working with.
453
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,800
I can take you to find him.
454
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,100
But I have a third condition.
455
00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:39,000
I need to bring my goods to Xixiang as well
456
00:38:39,700 --> 00:38:43,100
to protect Young Master's reputation and the Juns' credibility.
457
00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:47,200
I did not expect Miss Qi Luo to be so loyal to the Juns.
458
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,400
That is not loyalty.
459
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,100
I betrayed my Young Master to save my life.
460
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:53,900
I just want to ease my conscience a little.
461
00:39:01,420 --> 00:39:04,320
General, you need to decide quickly.
462
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:09,620
If Young Master learns the caravan has been attacked, he may become impossible to track down.
463
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,800
I agree to your terms.
464
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,240
We will set off for Xixiang tomorrow.
465
00:39:26,820 --> 00:39:29,420
Then I will not disturb you any longer.
