Mr. Yuwen, you are a hero among men.
Only devious people peep.
Don't you find it inappropriate for your status?
Please come in, Mister.
Mr. Huai coming here must for questions, right?
If you can't ask the question,
why don't you let me take a guess?
What is pricking you
is that you were born of a concubine.
You are correct.
That's exactly what is pricking me.
Mr. Huai, if a man wants to achieve his world goals,
but is in agony because of no place for his excellent talents;
like an awl in a bag.
The most pitiful and hateful is that this type of unfairness
has been fated since birth.
Continue.
The heavens plan but the men achieve the plan.
Mister, if you're willing to be unappreciated all your life,
then I am afraid there is nothing I can do.
Miss,
since it has been this way,
then do you have better ways?
Mr. Huai, you probably came to the wrong place.
This is not a place for fortune telling.
You also asked the wrong person.
I am not a fortune teller either.
If I met a close friend who understood me, I would do anything for my friend.
Mr. Huai,
only time will tell whether I can be your close friend or not.
Only God knows,
whether you can achieve your goals.
Spy Network Headquarter is intruded now.
It was all my fault, I did not take sufficient precautions.
Spy Network of Heavenly Eyes had been safely kept for years.
Not a single incident had occurred.
This time, it was intruded by a female spy from the Liang alone.
If the secret is exposed,
the entire Great Wei will be in danger.
My main concern right now is:
The spy from Liang.
She could intrude into Qingshan House as no one around.
I think there must be a mole.
This banquet was hosted by Yuwen Huai at Hongshan House.
He deliberately invited you there.
It looks like he lured you away from here.
During the banquet, he looked like
he knew nothing about it.
If that's the case, he is only a puppet.
He won't know the secret path to Spy Network Headquarter, either.
If that's so, the mastermind at Hongshan House—
Yuwen Xi!
If there is truly a mole in the Yuwen household,
this will be a big threat.
Grandfather, do you have any solutions?
It is important not to make decisions in a hurry.
I have one more question.
You actually let that maidservant Xing'er become a spy.
Grandfather, if I may be so bold, thanks to Xing'er,
we were able to secure Spy Network of Heavenly Eyes during the attack.
After this incident,
I have realized Xing'er has great potential.
Since you asked for it, I shall give her a chance.
Thank you, Grandfather.
You may leave now.
Yes, Sir.
Master, Mister had the chance to catch the spy from Liang.
However, in order to protect Xing'er,
he gave it up.
We need to get rid of Xing'er.
I can't let my grandson repeat my mistake;
Won't you go to comfort her?
No.
If you don't go, who will?
Who wants to go, then go.
Anyway, I won't go. You go.
You've caused this. If you don't go, it's not right. Isn't that so?
Yuan Song, we are as close as brothers.
Don't you know what's on my mind?
Matching up the wrong people. Who will take responsibility then?
I just want to ask you, what is bad about Chun'er?
Chun'er is perfect in every aspect,
but I only see her as a little sister.
I don't care.
Since we are close as brothers,
you need to comfort Chun'er for me.
I am leaving now.
Break a leg!
Why did you throw my stone?
It's just a stone. Why won't you let me throw it?
- Fine. - No!
I shall leave then.
Chun'er, you are still the same as when you were little.
It is only a present, I will give it to you another time.
I don't want it anymore. I don't care.
You don't want the present?
You don't understand. What I want isn't a present.
Then what would you like?
Didn't you tell aunt Bai Sheng what I really want?
You've really confused me.
You always pretend you don't know anything.
Fine. I shall tell you a joke then.
I don't want to hear it.
Not even want to hear a joke?
Then I'll leave.
Wait. How can you really take off?
Just tell me the joke.
A long time ago, there was an Emperor
who was obsessed with playing guqin*. (* a plucked seven-string Chinese musical instrument)
However, everyone in his palace
and all his subjects
thought his music was terrible.
His Majesty could not find anyone who understood him in the palace.
He was very nervous and upset.
One day, he went to the prison and found a prisoner on death row.
He said to him, "I will play some music for you."
"If you like it, I'll pardon you from death row."
Then, the Emperor brought out the guqin and started to play.
After he finished, the prisoner
kneeled down in front of him,
crying hopelessly.
He said, "Isn't it just to die?
I have realized my sin.
Please put me to death by dismembering my body."
Was it because the music played by His Majery was too intolerable?
No, it was good.
He played quite well.
You are lying.
The gates are surrounded by our people.
We've also sent additional securities for Chang'an Manor.
We've increased the ones out in the open, more for the ones in secret.
The ways through the waters are closed as well.
Our artists have painted out the majority of portraits of Tao Xieji's people.
They will be distributed to every gate and the government's business office.
They will be posted all over the city immediately.
According to your orders, we have asked factions in jianghu to help,
including Cao Faction, Lanqing Faction, Fengyu Faction,
Yunya Chamber are all on the move right now.
Once they discover any information, they will let us know as soon as possible.
The spies in the city are also active now.
Fourteen north-south streets, eleven east-west streets,
108 neighborhoods,
and 132 hotels and temples
are all the checking points where we'll be checking thoroughly.
These are the leases of shops and relevant sales I have gathered for the past five years.
It also includes cargo information from livery stables and armed escorts.
After careful examinations, I have found 46 shops that are suspicious.
Master has sent the spies from Shadow Sect and Secret Sect to investigate secretly.
According to Mister's order, we are following Yuwen Huai.
However, at this point, we don't have any reliable information.
Besides,
the secret passageways of Spy Network Headquarters and all the paths with traps need to be rebuilt
in case it is intruded again.
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
The spies from Liang were quite impressive
and hard to chase.
They not only came to the capital of our Great Wei,
but also, they intended to penetrate the inside of Spy Network of Heavenly Eyes.
Since they dare to come,
we'll make them impossible to escape.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Dancing Fingers Team @ Viki.com
Mister, we have caught more than a dozen spies.
They are all extremely loyal to Liang.
They refuse to say a word.
Do we need to torture them harder?
Those people traveled all the way to our Great Wei region
and appeared in my place.
They are not here simply to just find out the secrets in Spy Network of Heavenly Eyes.
They must have some deep secrets.
Continue to investigate further.
As long as you find the place where their leader is hiding,
we will get a hold of every detail in their plan.
Yes, Sir.
Princess,
the counterattack from Spy Network of Heavenly Eyes is quite strong.
We have many people hurt and who have died.
There are about 60 to 70 percent of spies and watchmen
who we have placed in Chang'an in recent years that have been removed.
The remaining
are either unreachable or have gone into the shadows.
Except for the people you brought,
the others are all unreachable.
Spy Network of Heavenly Eyes has been silent for so many years.
I didn't expect it would still be this powerful.
I've underestimated...
the enemy this time.
Princess, it's best if you leave now.
We still have one safe escape route.
You can get out of here through it safely.
I can not leave!
If I leave, we will be doomed.
After all the efforts,
we can't give up this easily.
But you will be in danger if you don't leave.
Many of our people were arrested.
Anyone of them could betray us at any moment.
Yuwen Yue.
If we can't get rid of him, we can never achieve our goals.
Yuwen Yue.
Obviously, he is the hinge of Spy Network of Heavenly Eyes.
He is surrounded by competent subordinates.
His martial arts is already sophisticated.
It is too hard to get rid of him.
If you like it, you can have it.
Thank you very much.
Not necessarily.
Does Your Highness have a solution?
The girl, Xing'er, who caused me many troubles, is probably his Achilles heel.
A maidservant?
Men from Yuwen households are very affectionate.
Yuwen Zhuo disabled his legs for a maidservant back then
and ruined his splendid future.
In the secret passageway, Yuwen Yue protected that maidservant several times.
If we want to get rid of Yuwen Yue,
we must take her out first.
Your Highness, are you sure?
I have been in the palace for years.
This kind of things doesn't need any proof.
Just by one gaze,
I'll be able to tell clearly.
Tao Ye, give me every information we have on Xing'er.
Her family background, everything, no matter how big or trivial, I want to know them.
Yes, I will do it right away.
Old Master.
Old Master, please have some fruits.
You didn't wait for me to call you and just entered.
What do you want to do? Do you want to taste the fine wine in my pool?
Grandfather.
What is your reason for arranging this banquet?
It's a banquet so isn't it to drink?
There surely is a hidden motive behind it.
Why must you keep hiding it from me?
What thing do you think you are?!
You dare question me?!
Grandfather, I am also just thinking for your sake, for the future of our Household Three.
You are a person with lowly familial status.
And you even dare to say that it's for the future of our family?
What a joke.
You are useless.
If your family background is not good,
then you must learn how to willingly serve others.
What expression is that? Not willing to submit to it?
You can't even dare to show your anger.
And you still say that you are not useless?!
If not because I accepted you into Household Three,
you would be even more lowly than that bitch.
Are the people serving me tonight ready?
Replying to Old Master, they are ready.
There is a useless thing that made me feel so unhappy.
Tonight, I must have fun.
Your Highness Apparent Heir, why are you here again?
Why can't I come here?
I am an Apparent Heir that only idles my time away and really has no official business to do.
Oh, right. When I was playing my Tartar pipe outside that day, did you hear it?
I heard it. Quite nice to hear.
Why then didn't you come out to see me?
Your Highness Apparent Heir, I'm only a slave girl.
I have so many things to do everyday.
I don't have that much time.
As I said before, you should just go back with me to Northern Yan.
By then, you don't need to be anyone's slave girl anymore.
What's wrong?
Are there things that you cannot leave behind?
Your two young sisters?
I can take care of these for you. Just think about it clearly.
Once I've confirmed the time, I'll come back here to look for you.
I'm giving you this.
Mister.
Come in.
Mister, it's time to drink your medicine.
Put it over there.
Mister, Yue Qi said that you must take your medicine on time,
and he told me to watch you drink it.
You listen to Yue Qi's words quite well.
Yue Qi is thinking for your own good. I should listen to him.
So bitter.
Is there any medicine that's not bitter?
Mister, since Xing'er is now a spy, when can the training start?
When it's time for you to train, you'll automatically know.
Oh, then take your time drinking, Mister. I'll leave first.
Stop.
What's wrong, Mister?
If Mister finds the medicine too bitter, I'll go fetch some candied fruit.
Or does Mister want to go out
and you want me to help you prepare your horse?
Are Mister's eyes not feeling well? Then, I'll get you a doctor.
What's wrong, Mister?
Runaway slave!
What?
It seems like Mister heard the conversation between Prince Yan Xun and I, right?
Running away without the Slave-Release Documents,
according to the law, you should be executed.
I've never thought of escaping.
Following the Heir Apparent to Northern Yan.
Throwing away your identify as a slave from then on.
Maybe the Heir Apparent takes you seriously and wants to make you his concubine,
and then offers you a wealthy life,
would you not want that?
Mister, I've been by your side for such a long time,
and I am also enjoying a wealthy life!
You should know me well.
Although I was born of low origin, I'm neither a cat nor a dog.
I won't just follow whoever throws me a piece of meat.
Mister, please finish your medicine at ease.
I have other things to attend to. I shall leave.

Yan Xun!
Prince Yu.
Where are you going with this rabbit?
I'm delivering it to the Empress Dowager Chamber for my mother and the Empress Dowager to play with.
Don't give to them! Give it to me!
That's not possible.
- Older Brother Yan Xun. - I want to give this to—
Royal Older Brother.
What are the two of you doing here?
What's in there?
Woh!! A small rabbit.
Such a cute litte rabbit! Where is it from?
Is it especially cute?
Yan Xun gave it to me just now.
- I'm taking it to the palace to give to— - It's mine!
From now on,
this little rabbit belongs to me!
Wow! You're so cute!
What's your name?
Do you have a name?
Older Brother Yan Xun, what's its name?
I still didn't named it yet.
So sad, you don't even have a name.
Then, how about I give you one?
I will give it a name that is the cutest,
most talented name!
How about Yuan Yuan?
Bai Bai?
Xiao Bai?
Huan Huan? How about Huan Huan?
Huan Huan. How about Huan Huan?
It's up to you Princess.
This Huan Huan name is good.
Is it you who didn't feed Huan Huan?
- Before, I came I just— - You must've not fed her.
Younger Sister, Huan Huan is hungry. I'll help you feed her.
No need to trouble you, Royal Older Brother.
I'll take good care of her.
Let's go.
- Cai Wei, get the cage. - Yes.
Where's my rabbit?!
You even dare to mention it.
Where's my rabbit?!
What did Mister say?
Mister has entered the palace.
I, Zhan Mo, am just relaying the words of Old Master.
Let us first not make any move and secretly observe closely.
Let's go.
What's the situation?
The two adjacent rooms were both rented by them.
We don't even have a chance to send someone to eavesdrop.
Since they rented the place, they have never left the room.
Even the food delivered by the inn worker is only placed outside the door.
I already checked it earlier. Their roof is full of red strings.
We must not make rash moves.
They already prepared.
The swallows elegantly fly home,
the cicadas in the cold winter are lonely and silent.
Tao Ye,
you have not really fallen in love with that Zhao Xifeng, right?
Princess.
That day during the banquet, although I was hiding among so many musicians,
the exchanges of affectionate looks between you and that Zhao Xifeng
didn't escape my eyes.
I am loyal to Princess and will not dare to hide anything.
I am circling around Zhao Xifeng totally not due to romantic feelings.
It is totally for Princess' grand plan.
As a lady,
how can I not understand your heart as a woman?
But as a spy with a mission,
you probably didn't forget. Right?
I understand.
Princess warned me before
that as a spy,
if I allow the enemies to use my feelings,
it is enough to place me in eternal doom.
If you know it, then it's good. Stand up.
If Princess can't be at ease,
I will severe all ties with Zhao Xifeng starting this moment.
No need. You must continue maintaining this relationship with Zhao Xifeng.
Try to get all kinds of information from him.
Zhao Xifeng is still a descendant of a powerful noble family of Wei.
In the future, he can become a useful pawn.
Yes, I will not disappoint Princess.
I understand.
Princess getting close with Yuwen Huai
is also for the same purpose.
Everything is ready. Do we need to bury some listening jar?
No need. Their defense is very tight.
Even if we use the listening jar, we won't be able to hear anything.
Is everything already set up?
Everything has been set up.
Princess, information about Xing'er.
Yuwen Yue's men are all outside already.
The main master still hasn't come. Let's continue and wait.
Yes.
Today is your first day as a spy.
That's why, you get the qualification to come here.
Is this the map of the whole world?
This is Chang'an.
Not only is it the capital of our Wei,
it is also the center of the whole world.
The core of the Spy Network of Heavenly Eyes is Qingshan House.
It signifies that it controls the lifeline of the whole world.
Which also means that the mission of a spy
is to send all the information gathered
to this place.
This information that was sent back will go through our analysis
and will be used to our advantage.
It can then ensure the safety and peace of Great Wei.
Also, ensuring that the thousands of citizens in this world will not suffer any hardships from wars.
The Spy Network of Heavenly Eyes is our Wei's most formidable weapon.
A weapon never cares about politics nor feelings.
You only need to be clear of whose orders you are following,
try your best to finish your mission, and survive.
That's all.
Yes.
Follow me.
Open it and take a look.
The token pass for getting out of the manor?
Mister, is this for me?
Then it means that from now on, I can freely enter and exit the manor. Right?
If you are not able to freely enter and exit, how are you going to fulfill your missions?
What's inside of those boxes in that area?
When the time comes, you will automatically know.
Among the forces of spies, other than our Spy Network of Heavenly Eyes,
there are also the Liang Secret Bureau and the jianghu spies.
The one that had fought with you was a spy from Liang.
But the jianghu spies are actually our real competition.
Don't belittle these jianghu spies.
They are mobilized by the Fengyun Order.
Their commander, Luo He, is also a brave and astute talent.
It's just that 1 year ago, due to an accident,
Luo He got killed.
What are you doing?
Her daughter, Junior Commander of Fengyun Order,
got ambushed and went missing.
At present, they temporarily won't be able to be a threat to us.
If Luo He's daughter reappears,
with the power of her order and her martial arts skills, we surely will be expecting a bloody battle.
I really want to meet this daughter of Luo He.
Being overconfident.
The missions of a spy are very arduous.
If you want to live,
you must know these weapons very well.
Then, Mister, when can I use these weapons?
Only after I give you a mission can you have the qualification to.
Yes.
Okay, today, it's up until here.
