Is this knife sharp enough?
I should warn you
I'm going to take this account book anyway
Here you are
You...
Give it to me?
Why don't you stop me?
Why do I have to stop you?
No
Aren't you the guard of Yan Qing?
I am the guard of Yan Qing
But I'm only responsible for the safety of Yan Qing
Not the safety of the account book
Moreover
I was about to pick up this account book for you
Who knows you are so rude and unreasonable
Jumping out to beat me
I
Because you acted furtively there
Look at your clothes
How come you say I acted furtively?
Yan Qing has checked the account book
There is no problem with it
What are you saying?
Are you not surprised at all?
You knew I was coming, didn't you?
What makes you think I knew you were coming?
Are you going to continue pretending like that or not?
If you don't know I am helping you
why would you come steal it tonight?
I know Yourou too well
There is no way she knows all of it
You must have been providing advice to her
Since we have decided to cooperate
are you not angry any more?
I agree to cooperate
because you are helping Yourou
We share the same aim
But business is business
Don't you ever expect that
I won't hold you accountable for what you did any more
No
Since you've decided to cooperate
You at least
Show me a smiling face, right?
If you do want to help me
you should have been checking the account, right?
Of course
I'm on it
Truth be told
I was kicked out
If you're not willing to take me
I have no other place to go
The decent Second Childe of Yan's family
says he has no place to go
Do you even believe it?
OK
Well, I tell you the truth
Truth be told
I know you are here
I come here
to apologize to you
Apologize to me?
Yes
It should be Yourou who you own your apology to
She is such a good girl
Pretty and smart
Deeply falling in love with you
Why do you reject her?
She doesn't love me
And I don't love her either
She wanted to marry you so badly
Why do you say she doesn't love you?
Yes, we were childhood sweethearts
Yes
But
I joined the army a long time ago
And we haven't seen each other much ever since
Yourou has a wish
of traveling around the world someday
She thought she would be able to
make her wish come true by marrying me
You are wrong
She actually doesn't know
the one she loves is not me
but that Yan Qing she imagined
If we really get married
we'll regret forever
Why don't you tell her straightway?
Do you think she will listen to me if I tell her so?
However
you taught me well
last time
I have been trying to make her hate me
so that she may voluntarily cancel the engagement
It is true that I didn't respect her feelings
That's why, with regard to the cancellation of the engagement
I need to learn from you
Learn from me?
What's the matter between your engagement cancellation and me?
Yourou has an obstinate temper
Even her father cannot control her
Why does she listen to you only?
Because you know her thoughts
and you are the only one who can accompany her to realize
her fancy wishes
I'm flattered
I am just investigating a case
She is also working on the case by herself
I'm just here to give you a heads-up
No
Since she is able to investigate the case by herself
she is surely able to travel around the world on her own
Maybe she will figure out a way someday
to realize her dreams
without having to marry me
right?
Thus, as far as this case is concerned
you are actually helping her
as well as helping me
Nonsense
I am helping Yourou
Who has the time to mind your business?
OK
Fine, I am flattering myself, OK?
I'll drink up this cup of wine as my apology and make a toast to you
I have checked those account books
There is nothing wrong
The account books have no problem?
How is that possible?
Why should I lie to you?
I've been serving in the military so many years
I know quite well that there is a shortage of military provisions
Have you ever thought that
Carpenter Zhang might be the true culprit?
What do you mean?
See?
All evidence leads to him now
Then, Mammy Xu, just out of her own wishful thinking
and ambiguous memory
deemed him as not the culprit
What if he was truly the culprit?
Mammy Xu has known Carpenter Zhang for twenty years
Her memory shall not be ambiguous
I said if. I was just assuming
Mammy Xu lost her heart to Carpenter Zhang
but she always shied away from him
So she has been holding up her sentiments
and unknowingly becomes obstinate
That's why she is not willing to acknowledge Carpenter Zhang as the culprit
That's a load of crap
I'm serious. I mean
we don't have to
hold back our feelings
like they do
We must
He is saying he loves you
Shut up
It's fine
I am talking about Langyin
I am not shouting at you. You go ahead
Langyin, she is talking to you again?
What is she saying?
Nothing important
Never mind
We continue with the case
Ling Long
I think we should
You should tell him
you love him, too
I told you to cut it out
Langyin, Langyin, Langyin
Yan Qing, how about we come back on it later?
No, no, no!
I'm not done yet
You are so useless
Why would it take you so long to tell him you love him?
Will you stop or not?
Yan Qing!
I'm not feeling well
I gotta go
Ling Long
Ling, Ling Long
Langyin
I'll have to send her away ASAP
In my opinion
you should just push him over
you are interested in him, anyways
I suggest you use your brain when speaking
He is the Lieutenant of Western Turk
I'm Southern Chu Princess
There is no way we can be together
If you can't make him stay around you
How am I supposed to fulfill my task?
What exactly is your task?
I told you
I can't remember
Just for a forgotten task
you're actually pushing me to that lustful dude
You are tired of your life
but I'm not
Ling Long, what happened?
What lustful? What dude?
Err... Nothing. Nothing
By the way
Have you got the account book?
Yeah
Xuan Yu said
Yan Qing had checked it
No problem was found with the account book
But I still want to check it again
Didn't you say
we should find the evidence ourselves
Fine, I'll check it with you
let's go
Something's wrong here
What's wrong?
What's been written on this page should be
military provisions for the front line
instead of
that for patrol guards in the city
Is there any difference?
Of course
Military provisions for the front line
is of higher level than that for patrol guards in the city
As the level is higher
More money accordingly
You mean
Someone perpetrated a fraud in the account book
and adulterated high quality grains with poorer ones
Yeah, check it
Here
and
Here
someone is making a fortune out of the military
There are so many issues
Why didn't Yan Qing and others find them?
He serves in frontier military
How is he supposed to know army provisions for patrol guards in the city?
What about my father?
Army provisions of the whole Western Turk are under his administration
I've known that since childhood
and I've memorized all the army provisions
Yan Qing is incomparable to me
If so
the case is quite explicit now
Accountant Li found this secret
so he was killed
This guy is able to perpetrate frauds in army provisions
and knows the movements of Accountant Li so well
The grain retailer
The grain retailer must have something to do with the case
But without someone hiding behind
a small retailer
couldn't have taken such a bold action
You mean, some officials are involved in the case?
Highly likely
Then, we are in trouble
So many officials have duties in army provisions
If we investigate one after another
when are we supposed to catch the culprit?
What if we apprehend him straightaway for interrogation?
This is the last action to take
which may frighten away the culprit
So what should we do?
Come here
Why are you running after seeing us?
Sir
You have asked me that question many times
I have told you all I know
I have nothing else to say
Take it easy
We are just here to buy some rice
What's wrong? Are you discriminating
against us?
Make it quick. I want a bucket of rice
No problem. I'm on it
Just a moment
By the way, boss
do you have rice made in Sichuan Province?
Yeah, we have
This is it
The rice is fantastic
For those laymen
this resembles Ninghua rice for frontier military very much
You are just kidding, Childe
Ninghua rice
is much more expensive than the rice from central Sichuan
If I sell central Sichuan rice at the price of Ninghua rice
I would be able to make a fortune overnight
Last night, I checked the accounts the whole night
and didn't sleep well
Pardon my deed
I can tell you didn't sleep well
Go get some rest
We'll come back later
See you
Have a good one
Did you see that?
Stop it
Let's go back first
They came here after checking the account book
Are there any problems found with the account book?
Look over there
I'll send them back home
You keep an eye on him
See what he is going to do
OK
Did they really say that?
Absolutely
It is highly likely that they were onto something
and came here to investigate
We can't leave them alive anymore
Kill them tonight
Are you going to kill again?
What?
Are you afraid?
No, not at all
I am just worried
So many murder cases
might arouse suspicion upon us
I will make it look like an accident
You just need to keep your lips tight
Nothing else to worry about
Do you get it?
Yeah
Boss
They are going to take action tonight
What?
They are going to kill them
Well
They are so reckless, even dare to touch my people
How about I
arrest the two culprits now?
Once for all
Hold on
Come back
We have no evidence
What's the point of arresting them?
How are we supposed to crack the case?
They have been investigating the case for a long time
You ruined it
Won't they cause troubles to us?
You were so calm before
Why becoming so short-headed this time?
What's wrong with you?
I, I just feel the death of Accountant Li so weird
Something doesn't add up
It must be done by someone he knew
Someone he knew?
In so short a time
How to find someone familiar?
It must be done by the same culprit
Bro Tong
Take some men to lay an ambush
Once you find the killer
arrest and take him back
No problem, boss!
Hold on, boss
There is no point
if we just take them back
After all, we have to
keep them safe
Brothers
Let's move out
Remember
first,
we need them alive
Second
and do not let Yourou
and Ling Long know
Do you get it?
Understood, boss
We are leaving, boss
Go ahead
let's go
Hold on
Did you hear something?
Oops!
Go, go, go
You miss me so much?
Come back with me
let's go
Are you stealing the wolf in the day time?
So audacious
I'm not stealing
I saved White Teeth
It's reasonable for me to take it away
You saved it?
Back then on the hill
if it were not held down by me
you would have been eaten by it
You know?
If I hadn't taken the needles out of its head
It should be you who were eaten
Fair enough, no more nonsense
Then, I'll ask, did you raise it?
I surely did
I even made a quilt for it
Making a quilt is different from raising it
I feed it every day
and walk it around. Sleeping with it is the only thing I haven't done
What about you? You are just here fooling around with it
What else serious have you done for it?
I played with it. That's the most serious matter
Fine. I don't want to debate with you
How about this? You let it go
See if it stays or goes with you
OK
What did I say?
White Teeth
let's go
Why are you laughing? Dismissed!
Boss, aren't we catching the killer?
No, we are not
Didn't you hear me? You are dismissed!
Yes, sir.
Go, go, go
Are we really dismissed?
See?
Ling Long has taken the wolf away
She must have a plan
Am I right? The killer is going to take action.
They must have known it
Based on their kungfu
they must be in danger
Ling Long is quite discreet
Why would she do something so precarious?
It means that something is important to her
We should help her
You mean
We go there, doing nothing
Just standing there
Why doing nothing?
They arranged this all
They need some audiences, aren't they?
It's me
Oh, my gosh! You scared the hell out of me!
A killer is coming for you tonight
Please be cautious
How do you know that?
You've been following us
Yan Qing told me to do so
And Yan Qing told you to find me here?
No
He asked me to tell your father
Why do you come?
The killer is quite formidable
I'm afraid
I am not able to defeat him?
Even Yan Qing is not worried about that
what are you worrying about?
I
I know what you mean finally
Are you worrying about me?
Worrying that I may get hurt?
I gotta go
Wait a second
Since you've already been here
why don't you do me a favor?
It is so cold tonight
and we have only one fire pan
Let's squeeze up
and settle for it tonight
Let's set it up and get to bed
You first
Your turning plate is so smart
Amazing
Is it?
You have a look
if the fragrant powder has been attached to them?
We made it
let's go
The corpses are still warm
The killer hasn't gone too far
Let's go
Come here, surround the area
Your Excellency
The two suspects have been killed
Someone tells me that the culprit from the grain store is hiding here
Sure enough. You are the culprits
In order to escape the sentencing
you killed your accomplice
Arrest them
Stop
I'm the daughter of General You
Who dares to defy me?
Lady
Are you not staying in the General Mansion?
Why are you here?
I found the grain store stole army provisions
and adulterated Ninghua rice with
cheap central Sichuan rice for the frontier military
Do you have the evidence?
This account book is the evidence
How come you have the account book?
No, I mean
the account book was forged by the accountant
Your Excellency
If the account book was forged
you may send him to the authorities
Why did you kill him?
Your Excellency
I've been trusting you
Why are you so audacious?
You killed him?
You...
This guy stole army provisions
and committed one of the most heinous guilts
I executed him on the spot by law
What an execution on the spot!
You really think the dead cannot speak, do you?
Do you think the dead are not able to testify against you?
What do you mean?
You just smell your hands
Isn't there any special scent on your hands?
I wear sachet throughout the year
How can fragrance be special on me?
The fragrance is the scent from the powder I secretly made
You won't found it somewhere else
The two killers just now
touched the powder just now
Within two hours
You also got your hands on it
How do you explain?
This...
That means
you touched them just now
You killed them, didn't you?
Ridiculous
I am an imperial official
Why would I kill them?
Because you collude with the grain retailer
and adulterated army provisions
Then you killed the accountant to destroy the evidence
You...
You are the culprit behind it
That's a load of crap
How about we invited the judge to the verdict?
And let the patrol dog smell it?
We'll have the answer then
Guards
Kill them all
Your Excellency
She? She is the daughter of General You!
I don't care
Otherwise
we are all doomed
Kill them all
and burn all the evidence
and waist tokens
They'll have no evidence to blame us
even if someone from General Mansion is missing
How dare you?
Ruthlessness is the mark of a truly great man
A real man does not lack in venom
If you want to live, you got to kill them
and the wolf
We take no prisoners
Are you okay?
Thanks to you
I'm fine
Are you okay?
You...
How dare you arrest an imperial official?
That's a capital crime
It's you who committed a capital crime
Father
Wait here
Father
I have figured it all out
He colluded with the grain retailer
I've heard it
What else do you want to say for yourself?
Bring him down
let's go
Qing'er
Thanks to the close cooperation between you and Rou
I always keep my promise
Go and tell Master Yan
Pick a good day and get married
Father
I don't want to be married yet
Nonsense
Girls are to be married sooner or later
Listen to me
father has arranged everything for you
Yan Qing is absolutely
a trustworthy guy
I don't care if he is trustworthy or not
I make the call for my own life
I don't want to rely on someone
But
Father
You've been arranging everything for me since childhood
I don't have to worry about anything
But have you ever thought
I
I have grown up now
I am able to arrange my own life
Father
Please leave it to me
ok?
Say it
I don't want to regret when I am old
So, you tell me
What do you want exactly?
I want to cancel the engagement
Please allow me
Rou has grown up
and has her own views
Fine, I agree
I'll tell Master Yan in person
Father, thank you!
Take care, General You
Well, I have to apologize to you
that I canceled the engagement without telling you in advance
It's fine
But there is another thing
I feel I should
tell you
Speak
Have you ever thought that
why would I irritate you to train with Ling Long
and be so strict with you?
I just wanted you to hate me
so that I can
I can
Make me cancel the engagement?
right?
I'm not stupid at all
I've known it long before
As a man
why bother?
That sucks!
By the way
if it were not you
Ling Long and I wouldn't be good friends
Right
If you feel unfair
Just tell me
I'll kick his ass for you
just to make you feel better
As for kicking his ass
I'd better do it myself
If you really want to help me
teach me kungfu
OK
Yan Qing owns me
I will never forget it
When I learned kungfu from you
I'll kick his ass
No problem
Stop
I am now standing in the middle
Are you guys serious?
I am so handsome
Are you okay?
This hairpin
you are still keeping it?
I wear it every day
It reminds me of you
Yuqing
I shouldn't have asked you to go to the General Mansion
or telling you those heartless words
I don't blame you
I know you did that for me
Too late
Now, I know now
we should get married
It's my fault. My fault!
Don't say that
Qingsheng, come here
Put on this hairpin for me
OK
Is it beautiful?
Sure
Yuqing, Yuqing, Yuqing
You are going to be engaged with Ling Long?
Yeah
The imperial court has just issued an order of commendation to you
But you are going to be engaged with a princess from an enemy state
Have you ever thought about it?
What you are going to lose is not just your honor
your title
but also a promising future!
As long as I can marry Ling Long
I'm willing to give it all up
Do not act on impulsion
You are still young
You actually give up something
beyond your imagination
If, one day
you are not even able to protect your family
That would be too late for you to regret
Father
Since I have decided to be with Ling Long
I'll have to get rid of all obstacles
and I won't allow any hurt to her
As you won't change
your mind
whatever I say to you
Yeah
I suggest you go to ask you mother
If she agrees
we'll write the letter
Thank you, father! Thank you!
Boy
That's my son!
Yan Qing!
Brother! What are you here for?
Are you really going to marry Ling Long?
What conspiracy are you up to?
Conspiracy?
Conspiracy is your specialty
I'm not good at conspiracy
I don't believe you are willing to give up the title
Are you going to let the Forth Childe inherit the title?
If I want to inherit the title of nobility
I can win it on the battlefield
Look at the Forth Childe
He is so talented, and it would be easy for him
to be conferred the title of nobility or to become a minister
Brother. You are the only one
taking this title of nobility serious
If none of you want to inherit the title of nobility
Why have you opposed me for so many years?
Opposed you?
Obviously, it's you who have opposed us
Have you ever thought that
Why did dad delay transferring the title to you?
You're so narrow-minded
You didn't deserve your position, and ruined your ancestral business
What are you saying?
I said
It's obviously yours
You don't have to fight against us for it
The harder you fight, the less you get
A battle you could win without doing anything
but at last, it became like this
I feel ashamed of you
You're wrong, totally wrong
There is no way you don't want the title of nobility
You're lying to me because you're afraid of me
You are lying!
Engagement?
It's so important
you didn't even asked me?
and made the decision on your own?
Calm down, calm down
Sit down first
and I'll tell you about it
Don't touch me!
If you can't make it clear today
this will not be over!
OK
You wanted to return to Southern Chu to treat your illness
and asked me to find a way
Am I right?
How could these be related to the engagement?
They're all connected
Just think about it. You're a pawn
and you could return home at will
Is it embarrassing for the Western Turk?
However, if you're engaged with me
and return home in the name of this
Things would be different
right?
I have to see my mother-in-law
and father-in-law in the name of the engagement
Other people couldn't say anything if we return
But engagement is so important
you can't play with it
Isn't there any other way?
Other way?
There's a way
We could write a letter of credence to the Lord of Southern Chu
and tell him that his daughter is seriously sick
and wish to return home for treatment
But
the letter of credence
can't be seen by my father
It has to be delivered to the emperor directly
If one is not enough, make it two
two is not enough, make it four
Four letters
Just keep writing
until the emperor's heart is melted
Then we could probably make it
How long will it take, boy?
It may be three or five months,
could also be three or five years
Hard to say
Three or five years?
Ling Long would return on her own
Three or five years isn't OK
Her health is getting worse
what if something happens at the time interval?
Listen
My father
he won't write a letter of credence for me
Sorry, I can't find a way out
If any of you find a way
just tell me
But let me remind you first
if you can't trust my suggestion
I won't return the medicine prescription for wounds
You...
Ling Long, under this emergency situation
there's no way out now
It's just an engagement
you can cancel it at any time
That's right
Now you should take care of your body
Right
In order to help you
I even give up my reputation
but you're grumbling here
You have a reputation?
What you're talking
really hurts me, you know?
All right, stop
Let's get to the point
When will we leave exactly?
Tomorrow
Tomorrow?
That's too fast
If we leave tomorrow, we may not get ready
The Great Doctor said
we shouldn't delay
Right, Great Doctor?
Yeah
Come on, come on
Sit, sit, sit
Don't worry
Everything has been set
I even asked Yourou to take care of White Teeth
Boy
I feel you've been planning this for a long time
I don't like what you're saying
Remember, everything should be arranged ahead
Endured the hardships over ten years
It turns out that I
was fighting against myself
Drink it!
Eldest Childe? Eldest Childe?
Eldest Childe
See who I brought to you?
Have a look
Eldest Childe
Look, a warlock for multiplepersonality treatment
Multiplepersonality?
Yeah
What?
I'm drinking, are you blind?
Drink it!
Come, have a drink
Eldest Childe, why are you drinking here?
Would you stop it?
You've ordered me to find
a warlock for multiple-personality treatment
Cut your crap!
Get out
I, I, I...
Eldest Childe, let me pour wine for you
Eldest Childe, the whole world has known your wisdom and encourage
the overreached nonentities
just don't give a penny about them
Yeah
I'm undefeated
Those who don't want to fight with me
are afraid to do that
I'll show what I can do
I'm undefeated
undefeated, undefeated
Stop
Let's take a break
I'll get fetch some water, my lady
Go ahead
Don't get hurt
Slowly, slowly
What are you doing here? Where is Xiaojin?
Look
We've already engaged
But along the journey
you didn't even say a word
I'm really afraid that somebody could be suspicious about us
Is there somebody in this fleet?
No, for now
But when we arrive Southern Chu
right?
as we need to pretend to be a loving couple
we have to get to know each other
I'm afraid that
your dad could be
suspicious when he sees us
You'll be in trouble
Only in the same carriage with me
could we develop our relationship?
I'm telling you
as to relationship establishment
we should talk
and drink some wine
And then at last we
could ride the same carriage
Actually
this is also a method to cultivate our relationship
right?
Move a little farther away from me
Hurry
A little further
Why don't you do it?
Hurry
Old rules
cross the line, you'd die
Oh come on, not again!
What if you cross the line?
I won't
