[A Dream Within A Dream]

[Episode 6]

Did Song Yu De invite Chu Gui Hong here?

Yes, he did. They had a long chat in the study room.

Seems like the Song family intends to participate

in the fight for the heir apparent's position.

If we don't get rid of Song Yi Meng now,

she'll become a huge threat in the future.

Your Highness, Song Yi Meng is crafty and cunning.

And now, you're at her mercy. How can we...

Although I cannot k*ll her,

that doesn't mean I cannot deal with her.

Tell Fading River Moon

that it's time for them to prove their worth.

Scriptwriter!

Where's the Duan Blade Technique?

Give me some clues, at least.

You can't play such a prank on me.

- Young Lady!
- Young Lady!

- Young Lady!
- Young Lady, wake up.

- Young Lady!
- Young Lady, how are you?

- Young Lady!
- Young Lady, don't scare me.

Stop shaking!

If you keep shaking, I'll really die.

You scared me.

Young Lady, why are you torturing yourself?

Prince Nan Heng has already left.

What's wrong with you?

What if you hurt yourself?

General Chu just told you to take care of yourself.

If he sees you like this, he'll feel very sad.

You are right.

My peaceful life

cannot be easily ruined by Nan Heng.

Ying Qiu, tidy up my personal reserves.

Just wait.

I am going

to use my own money now.

It's no use no matter how much you pay. Go away.

Sir, please help me out.

If it doesn't work, I'll pay more.

I have money. I have a lot of money.

This is not about money.

Young Lady, in Jing Empire, it's against the law

for anyone except for the
Qianyu Army to forge steel.

Moreover, we can't do it.

Just spare us.

Sir, give it a try, at least.

- Why don't I pay you more?
- I really can't make it.

Duan Blade Technique is a key plot.

Why didn't the scriptwriter leave me any clues?

If I still can't find it,

Nan Heng will k*ll me.

Let's go, Qiu. We are going to the next place.

Young Lady, we've visited
every blacksmith in the city.

I didn't expect making an iron sword
into a steel sword to be so difficult.

Does no one else know how to do it

besides King Qianyu and Chu Gui Hong?

They are really good at

keeping their core secret confidential.

Go away!

How dare you sell contraband at my place.

I'll report you to the officials!

Let me tell you.

It will surely fetch a good price

at Fading River Moon.

- Bah!
- Go away!

Fading River Moon?

Mister, excuse me.

Is Fading River Moon a black market?

What if it is? What does it have to do with you?

Yes!

This is called "Every cloud has a silver lining".

Tell Mister Shangguan that it's done.

The fish has taken the bait.

- Come here.
- Spare me some food.

I haven't eaten for days.

Go away.

Stupid beggar.

Miss, you are pretty.

- How senseless.
- Don't touch me.

Miss!

Spare me some food!

- Miss.
- Don't be afraid.

Young Lady, we shouldn't be here.

Let's go back and ask Master
to send someone here tomorrow.

No.

Nan Heng only gave me two days.

I must find a way tonight. Follow me.

General, I have information.

There are many men in Night Wandering God.

The leader's name is Li Shi Liu.

Apparently, he's a ruthless martial arts expert.

Do you think we have enough men to deal with this?

Don't worry. Get 100 elite
soldiers to sneak in in batches.

Stay alert tonight

and don't expose our identities.

Yes.

Mister!

How do I go to the Fading River Moon Society?

[Po Yun Long, Fading River Moon's Third Master]

Three taels of gold.

I have it prepared.

Thank you, Mister.

Please get on the boat.

Let's go.

[Secret Report, Qianyu
Army's General, Chu Gui Hong]

[intends to sneak into the society
with dozens of soldiers in disguise.]

Aren't we just k*lling a woman?

Must you be here in person?

I leave the daughter of the Song family to you.

We have esteemed guests tonight.

I have other missions.

You have new information?

Do you need any extra help?

No need.

There are many nobles in the guild hall today.

We mustn't cause a scene.

I can do it alone.

Have you prepared everything?

A weak woman like her

will never escape.

However, Fading River Moon
doesn't k*ll the elderly and women.

This time, why are we...

This woman must not be underestimated.

She is an exception.

An exception?

- Don't forget.
- I know.

She has a noble identity.

Do it outside the guild hall

and leave no evidence behind.

What a pity.

A pretty lady like her

is going to die here tonight.

Come here.

It's so spacious.

This is a huge production.

What a set.

The production team must be rich.

Let's go inside and take a look.

If I knew there was such
an exciting place in the script,

why would I stay in the Song Residence

and argue with Nan Heng?

This way, please.

Big!

Ying Qiu, let's go and take a look inside.

Big!

Six!

Ying Qiu, give me the pouch.

Young Lady, don't do it.

Don't worry. Give it to me.

This is the last bet!

What's wrong with you?

[Duan Shan Hu, Fading River Moon's Fourth Master]

This young lady has put her bet on Panther.

How courageous.

She's almost heroic.

Hold on.

Excuse me.

Does a Panther

mean all three dice

must be the same number?

Yes.

Does it mean I'll never get a
Panther right now no matter what?

You're smart.

That won't do.

Someone knocked into me

and my money fell here.

- I must place it again.
- Miss.

Rules of the table. No more bets.

Mister.

Rules are fixed

but humans can adapt, right?

If I change the rules for you,

you'll have to die.

But...

Why?

I brought all this money

from my world to this place.

I lost everything before I started playing.

No. I won't accept this.

I won't accept this!

Forget it. I'm not Chingmy Yau anyway.

Whatever. What was I thinking?

Panther! It's a Panther!

It was "One" and "Six".

That's impossible.

That's impossible. Why did it become a Panther?

What happened?

Three sixes.

Am I mistaken?

Did the God of Gambling bless me?

I'm not Chingmy Yau.

I'm Chow Yun-fat.

Everyone, thank you.

Thanks for everything. Qiu, quick.

Quick.

[Did someone cheat?]

Whatever.

How interesting.

Tell everyone

that I'll do it myself.

You see a pretty woman.
You forget about righteousness.

Long, you know me best.

k*ll her.

I'll do it.

k*lling a pretty woman is a form of art.

k*lling the woman that the buyer cares about is...

Let me see

why this woman

should not be underestimated.

Remember. Don't make a mess tonight.

Check the defenses of the Guild Hall.

Find out what they are scheming.

We must not act recklessly.

Don't worry, General.

We have been idle for a long time

just to contribute tonight.

Dragon wanders the ghost market.

Night Wandering Gods appear in the night light.

[Li Shi Liu, Fading River Moon's First Master]

You're quite strong.

Are you Li Shi Liu?

The dead don't need to know.

Young Lady, where are we going now?

We've made enough money.

It's time to get down to business.

Come on. Let's go and find the Duan Blade Technique.

- Duan Blade Technique.
- Let's go.

Great!

- That's...
- What's going on?

Everyone.

Today, we are gathering at Fading River Moon.

- Is this a performance?
- I brought this thing from the border.

There's no rush. Let's watch it.

It's the best of the best.

I'm sure no one has seen it before.

The starting bid is 100 gold.

Does anyone like it?

Stop bluffing.

I've been in the capital for many years.

- I've seen every good thing you have to offer.
- Exactly.

This is different.

How is it worth 100 gold?

- Let's see.
- Let's take a look.

[Liu Jiao Er]

- She's extraordinary.
- That's right.

A beautiful lady.

She's worth 100 gold indeed.

What are they doing?

Don't you know?

She's a courtesan caught from the border.

It used to be a popular commodity in the capital.

Ever since the Qianyu Army lost in battle

and the border trades were canceled,

Merchandise like this has been rare.

Merchandise?

How can you call a human merchandise?

- 150 gold!
- 200 gold!

- 500 gold!
- I'm paying 1,000 gold.

I am Wei Chi Yan.

I am very rich.

In the past, this girl might
not have been worth a lot.

However, the current situation is

that the emperor has confined
the Qianyu Army in the capital.

No trades are allowed.

It is rare.

She's worth 1,000 gold!



It's enough to buy 100 servants.

That's right. It's too high.

Yes, it's not worth it.

Do you envy me?

This is the power of money.

Look at your face.

Your waist and your body.

This vile beast.

Come.

Have a drink.

Have a drink.

Get lost!

- What are you doing?
- You jerk!

Who do you think you are?

Stand up.

If someone forces you to drink next time,

beat him up like this, understand?

Don't worry.

I'm the female lead. I don't control the outer world

but I'm the boss in the script.

Beat her up!

He's serious?

Ying Qiu, let's split up!

Come with me.

- Carry me.
- Yes.

- Quick.
- Stop!

Don't run!

- Come here.
- After them!

- Over there!
- This way.

Quick.

Move!

- Move!
- Stop! Make way!

Stop!

General.

He is not here to k*ll.

He is here to test his weapons.

Tell everyone to retreat.

That's enough.

Don't worry. We lost them.

No need to thank me.

Both of us were set up by the scriptwriter.

We suffer the same fate.

It's fine now.

How are you?

Return me the 1,000 gold!

You'll pay with your life!

He's really brave

to k*ll at Fading River Moon.

k*ll.

The Song family's daughter?

The rich merchant.

- What about the Song family's daughter?
- You do it.

Great. You're yielding to me now.

Why don't you k*ll everyone
so they don't cause us trouble?

Sure.

Didn't the boss ask us not to k*ll anyone unrelated?

k*ll her.

Why is the boss here?

Change of plans.

Who are you?

Sorry. I was just passing by.

Continue.

k*ll her again.

Help!

Shangguan He.

What is the boss trying to do, he...

It feels weird. We'll talk about it later.

What is the meaning of this?



k*ll her 15 minutes after I leave.

Do you understand?

Why is he pretending to be an expert?

Is he crazy?

Continue!

Didn't you hear what I told you?

Find a quiet place

to k*ll people next time.

Didn't I tell you not to cause a scene?

I didn't cause a scene.

You fell from the sky and knocked that guy out.

What about the human
auction? Someone even got k*lled.

No one got k*lled. The courtesan is safe.

The human auction was carried out by a guest.

Our men didn't know about it beforehand.

We will let them pay the price

for trafficking humans in Fading River Moon.

Boss!

Boss!

How do we deal with the rich merchants?

Warrior!

Warrior!

Warrior, where are you?

Warrior...

Warrior!

Stop running! I've finally caught you.

The courtesan and I would've
been dead without your help.

Warrior, what is your name?

Where do you live?

Tell me everything.

I must repay you for saving my life.

It's nothing much.

Forget about it.

Farewell.

That won't do.

I need to know

who my savior is.

What an evil beauty.

She's actually clinging to the boss.

How shameful.

Let's do it.

Deadly Horizon Needle.

One needle kills her.

[Get lost.]

Warrior.

What did he mean?

I get it.

Boss is saying that our weapon is too tiny.

A needle isn't enough to k*ll her.

I'll use this then.

Deadly Tear Shuriken.

She'll cry from the pain.

Come on.

- Let's do it.
- Warrior, you are hurt.

- I'm not.
- What are you saying? You're bleeding so much.

I'm sure you got hurt to save us.

I said I wasn't hurt.

It's fine.

Warrior, you are very kind

but you are stubborn.

You didn't abandon us just now.

How can I ignore you, right?

Show me your wound, all
right? Let me see if it's really bad.

It's very late and we are alone here.

We should keep our distance.

Why should we?

This is urgent. I need to take you to the apothecary.

I must make sure that you are fine.

Let's go.

Do it!

What's wrong?

I'm trying to relax my muscles.

That's...

Right now? At this place?

Men train all the time.

Moreover, experts usually practice at night.

First Master.

What kind of secrets are you hiding?

What are you doing now?

I'm still relaxing my muscles.

[They just won't stop.]

[As expected. You can't k*ll her.]

Warrior.

This is...

Don't misunderstand. This isn't what you think.

I didn't say anything.

Why are both of you here?

Have I disturbed you two?

Boss?

The person who saved me was your boss?

That's right.

That means

he owns

this huge place called Fading River Moon?

Naturally.

No one can do this besides him.

Gosh. I have a huge connection now.

Misters, come here.

- I have some questions about your boss.
- Do it.

Long, calm down.

The boss has ordered us not to be reckless.

I just want to ask a few questions.

Do you need a meeting before that?

Miss, please wait.

Long, are you crazy?

Do you dare k*ll the boss's woman?

Lust kills.

A knife kills?

Miss, he's saying "head over heels".

Head over heels?

He's from the south. He has an accent.

From the south?

What accent do you have?

k*ll her now.

Long, all you know is to k*ll.

k*ll her now?

Who are you k*lling?

No. He's calling "Sister-in-law".

Right, everyone?

Yes! Sister-in-law!

Are you calling me?

I'm not your sister-in-law.

- I'm not.
- k*ll!

Long!

Why has he been dragged away?

Your buddy...

Is there something wrong with him?

Yes. Forget him.

Let's get down to business.

Business? What business?

What is this?

Visitor registration.

Visitor registration?

Name, background, height,
weight, hobby, special interests,

and ideal partner. Can you
accept a man who wears a mask?

Can you accept a boring man
who has a reserved personality?

I did it according to your orders.

I've silenced everyone I should.

I'm sure the rich merchants
will not remember anything

when they wake up tomorrow.

Why did you do that in the forest just now?

Because I want to confirm one thing.

What is it?

You can't k*ll Song Yi Meng, right?

Prince Nan Heng.

What are you trying to say?

I want to say

that I'm the only person

among the Night Wandering
Gods who knows your true identity.

You're going to hide from me

even with our close relationship?

That's not right.

Just do whatever I ask you to.

Don't ask about anything else.

But I'm curious.

In the beginning, I found it weird.

You are the Seventh Prince.

k*lling a frail girl is a simple thing to do.

Why must you utilize your trump
card, the Wandering Night Gods?

Why must you force yourself to do it?

There's only one answer.

There must be a certain connection

between you two.

When Song Yi Meng is in trouble,

you will surely help her.

It happened when the rich
merchants tried to k*ll her

and when Long and Hu attacked her.

Is my guess correct?

I thought love was the only thing

on your mind.

I thought about it too

but I know you well.

Even if the rivers flow in reverse

and Heaven and Earth join up,

a loner like you

will still not fall for any women

let alone give up your principles.

Let me tell you. I like smart people

but I don't like those who are too smart.

I could save you from prison three years ago.

Naturally, I can also send you back inside now.

Fine. I understand.

My life is in your hands. How's that?

What about Song Yi Meng?

What should we do with her after tonight?

Look. You've been searching for
the Duan Blade Technique for years

but you found nothing.

Right now, the opportunity is before you.

Why haven't you thought about using Song Yi Meng

to steal it from Chu Gui Hong?

Do you think I haven't thought
about what comes out of your mind?

Song Yi Meng fears me

but she is cunning and cannot be used.

Someone who I can't use

and knows many of my secrets

will only spell trouble for me if kept alive.

Wrong.

Song Yi Meng is afraid

of the cold Seventh Prince, Nan Heng.

However, your identity now is Li Shi Liu,

the righteous warrior who saved her from danger.

Since she is a mysterious woman

and is close to Chu Gui Hong,

he might even know about

Chu Gui Hong and Prince Nan Rui's plans and schemes.

Approach her as her savior first.

Investigate everything clearly

one step at a time.

Isn't that better?

Look.

Traditional records

aren't organized and summarized.

Not only does it reduce efficiency,

but it's also troublesome when you search for data.

It's different now.

Sorting and managing your information
lets you see everything clearly.

You can also make a data archive

which is easy and efficient.

This is indeed a clear and easy method.

You are a noble's daughter
after all. How extraordinary.

It's nothing much. It's just a
basic quality of an office worker.

In the future, you can use it to evaluate

every visitor's overall score.

There are no other visitors.

You are the only person who
makes the Boss give up his principles.

Me?

I just met your boss not long ago.

I don't even know his name.

That's right.

This is the boss' greatest problem.

He always does kind deeds without leaving his name.

Of course, he also has many other issues.

- For example...
- Boss doesn't like women!

Don't listen to his nonsense.

Of course, the boss likes women.

He had no time to find a wife

because he was busy managing matters of the guild.

I beg you. Stop causing trouble.

The boss is dedicated to his work

so he can feed all of us and give us warm clothes.

We no longer have to suffer in our lives.

He is the boss of everyone here

and the only boss we have,

Li Shi Liu.

Pomegranate Li?

There's such an exciting character in the script?

Why didn't I realize it previously?

Buyer

orders the boss

to k*ll you.

Buyer orders the boss to k*ll

me?

Does it mean

all of you brought me here

because Nan Heng set me up?

Miss Song,

the boss did accept a job to k*ll you

but he has a deep feeling for you.

Otherwise, he wouldn't stop us from k*lling you.

So,

all of you want to k*ll me?

- No.
- Help!

Stop!

- Help!
- Miss, it's not what you think.

This is a misunderstanding. Let me explain.

- You better not explain.
- What's the noise about?

Boss!

Did they bully you?

We didn't.

No, Boss.

We were getting along well with Miss Song.

Right, Miss Song?

Miss Song,

they are brutes.

I hope you don't mind.

However,

we are not interested in the
disputes of the imperial court.

I hope you don't tell anyone

about what happened tonight after you go back.

Are you saying

that you can let me go?

Don't worry, Warrior. You saved my life.

I won't cause you trouble. Don't worry.

Thank you.

- Long. Hu.
- Yes.

- Send Miss Song back.
- No.

Someone from the army came here tonight.

Long and Hu have to deal with the
aftermath with me. They can't leave.

- What about Huang and Li?
- Some shops owe us money.

They have to do the dirty work.

- What about Luo?
- His wife is giving birth. He is rushing to go home.

Fading River Moon is huge but
no one is available to help me?

You are available.

Sending a beautiful woman
home in a dangerous situation.

You are the only suitable candidate.

- Why don't I go home alone?
- That won't do.

The Night Wandering Gods are righteous.

How can we let a frail lady like Miss Song

go home alone?

Am I right, First Master?

This way, please.

[Approach her as her savior first.]

[Investigate everything clearly]

[one step at a time.]

[Isn't that better?]

[The boss did accept a job to k*ll you]

[but he has deep feelings for you.]

[Otherwise, he wouldn't stop us from k*lling you.]

Miss Song.

You first.

You first.

All right. I'll go first.

Long and Hu told me everything.

What did they tell you?

They told me

you accepted a job to k*ll me.

However, I'm sure you were forced to do that.

Am I right, Warrior?

Of course. I am forced, of course.

[Fools.]

Look. You saved me in the end.

Warrior. Although we've not gotten
along with each other for a long time,

I can see

that you, Long, and Hu aren't
bad people. All of you are good.

Those who work in the underworld

as assassins

must have

reasons people don't know about, right?

Miss Song, what are you trying to say?

What I want to say is...

Warrior, you might have spared me today,

but as far as I know,

Nan Heng will never spare you.

Not only will he not spare you,

but he will also not spare your buddies

and Fading River Moon.

So,

I have a suggestion.

So, I hope kind villagers like us

can share our ideas

and work together

to go against that ruthless mafia.

All right?

Mafia and Villagers?

Are you saying

that you want to work with me

to defeat that high and mighty prince?

Exactly.

I suggested it

for the sake of your safety.

Why do you think

that Nan Heng won't spare me?

Because he's a bad person.

Do you get it?

He is ruthless.

You've been in the underworld for a long time.

I'm sure you've heard about it before.

He is ruthless, vicious,

wretched, vile, cunning,

and harms women.

- If it wasn't for the script system...
- What a joke.

See?

You think it's funny, right?

I was wondering.

How does someone like him

remain in a high position while
committing all kinds of evil?

Is there even justice in this world?

All right.

If Nan Heng is as evil as you described,

let me ask you. During the
Mutiny of Jinyang four years ago,

the Qianyu Army did nothing

but he battled for seven days with
his Armored Soldiers to suppress it.

Was it all just an act?

Of course.

Think about it.

- Why did he do that?
- Why?

It's because he wants Jinyang's mineral deposits.

He used the rebellion suppression as an excuse

to embezzle funds.

Fine.

What about this?

Five years ago, in the battle of Tancheng,

the Armored Soldiers were trapped in Yangu Pass.

Chu Gui Hong said he'd help them

but he just stood by and did nothing.

Nan Heng led his 2,000 Armored Soldiers

and battled for 49 days before
defending the pass successfully.

What about that?

Warrior, Nan Heng acted carelessly and recklessly

so he fell into the enemy's trap.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even be in that situation.

You can't simply pin the blame on someone else.

Fine.

We won't talk about that.

Ten years ago, in the battle with Dongshuo.



went against the 40,000 elite troops of Dongshuo.

Without Nan Heng leading the army

and taking the enemy general's head,

we would never have made a
comeback after three months of defeats

and achieved ten years of peace at the border.

- What's wrong?
- Warrior, listen to yourself.

- What is it?
- That was so careless of Nan Heng.



What was he thinking?

He was supposed to strategize at the back

but he led the army and rushed in front instead.

Warrior Li, let me tell you.

Perhaps Nan Heng is...

He is...

Perhaps there's a problem with his head.
