(Changfeng Estate)

Bravo!

Hey, look.

This is what we call dashing

and gallant.

Thank you

for praising Commander Wei.

You have fine taste.

Get over yourself.

Is this how Commander Wei

teaches his subordinates?

Like Lord Pei never flatters himself.

Don't you dare speak

against His Lordship.

Don't you dare speak

against Commander Wei.

I want to say it.

Commander Wei is pompous.

He's not as dashing and gallant

as His Lordship.

Yufei.

Yes.

Send His Lordship off.

Yes.

Please leave.

What was going on?

Pei Yan discovered my identity.

What?

Pei Yan will not let me leave.

Report Nanling's undeclared fine weapons

to His Majesty immediately.

Do you want to request a transfer decree

to get you out of here?

Not just this,

we must find the leverage

He Zhenwen holds against Pei Yan.

Check where He Zhenwen is imprisoned

and keep a close eye

on anyone related to him.

Yes.

But the Changfeng Guards

have surrounded this place.

What should we do now?

He can't come in,

and I can't go out.

It's better

to remain as it is.

I'll get it done.

Wait.

Why can't you go out?

Just proceed with your thing.

Understood.

Come down.

How do you know I'm up here?

There was a commotion outside.

You wouldn't still hide in the cabinet.

One is as overbearing as a crab,

while the other is as agile as a cat.

All right.

Ouch.

My legs have gone numb.

Ci didn't come out?

No.

Our men have surrounded the place.

They would discover Miss Jiang

if she tried to slip off.

She must still be in Wei Zhao's room.

Keep a close eye on it.

Yes.

Your Lordship.

What's the matter, Ziming?

Since Ci has left,

why not let her go?

She never walked

the same path as us.

Ziming, you care so much for Ci

that you would even betray me.

The crisscrossing wheel tracks

in the suburbs,

I can't think of anyone else but you, Ziming.

I've failed your trust, Your Lordship.

Please punish me.

That being said,

since Ci has chosen to leave,

please set her free.

I admire your character

and talent,

so I won't punish you.

However, I won't let Ci leave either.

Send Mr. Cui back to his room.

Without my order, he's not allowed out.

Mr. Cui, this way, please.

Your Lordship.

We've lost both witness

and evidence now.

How are we going to deal with Wei Zhao?

Is it safe outside now?

For the time being, yes.

In that case,

I should get going.

You can't leave.

Why?

I believe Pei Yan has had this place

under his control.

Not to mention Yuzhou Island,

the moment you step out of the door,

you'll be captured right away.

But Master is still waiting for me.

Come.

They are clean.

Didn't you say Pei Yan's men

were watching closely outside?

I don't have

to avoid being seen, though.

I shouldn't have come back here.

There's hot water in the bathtub.

Master,

you must wait for me.

Now that his identity has been exposed,

he'll have many concerns

when he deals with me later.

I can still suppress him.

However,

it seems he has found out

that He Zhenwen has something

against the Pei Clan in his hand.

We must get the account book back

as soon as possible.

Yes.

What's wrong with you?

That's kind of you.

Some meat

and vegetables.

Another hand.

Thank you, Commander Wei.

Let's eat.

When can we leave?

Maybe in three days.

Three days?

That's too long.

I suppose you and your master are close.

She won't mind waiting

a few more days.

In that case, I have to eat more

to have the energy

to search for my master.

Later, we'll return to Jiang Village

and never leave again.

Then

why did you come back here?

I can't stand still and watch you die.

Why did you give me this?

You would nag me

if your clay cat got dirty.

That's right.

I like it.

I didn't have to make

a fake clay cat.

Fake?

You gave me the idea.

Let me show you.

In return, I'll give you this.

So ugly.

Why don't you take it?

Things that come in pairs

bring good fortune.

One is full of cracks,

while the other one looks unbearable.

Putting them together

is quite an eyesore.

Forget it.

Wei Zhao.

Shameless Cat.

Are you asleep?

Yes.

Am I talking to a cat now?

Well,

when can we leave?

The more anxious you are,

the slower the time.

But I really miss my master.

She'll be worried about me

if she can't see me soon.

This is the first time

that I feel home is so far away.

I can't meet the person I want

at any time.

Still, it's always good

to have a home to return.

Why don't you share your story with me?

Do you think

we won't be able to meet again?

Lin,

I'll avenge you very soon.

Don't worry.

I'll make everyone pay

for your death.

Lin,

you won't be alone.

Where's the account book?

Where's Jiang Ci?

You'd rather sacrifice

the entire Pei Clan

than give up that lowly maid?

I can trade something else with you.

Anything but Jiang Ci.

I don't want anything else.

My son is dead.

I want all of you to suffer my pain.

What do you want?

The last son of the He clan is dead.

I want

the entire Pei Clan to pay for it.

Finally, you're being honest.

You never wanted

to give me the account book.

Instead, you want the Pei Clan to pay

for He Yonglin's death.

I guess

you've already delivered

all account books of the Foundry Bureau

to Qingkang

through routes in the wild.

You assumed that I'd be distracted

to keep Jiang Ci safe.

Sadly,

you've underestimated me.

Pei Yan,

I'm going to k*ll you!

Over the years,

you've served my mother wholeheartedly.

For every Qingming Festival from now on,

I'll send someone to offer incense

for both you and your son.

Pei Yan!

(Changfeng Estate)

Pei Yan!

(Suburbs of Nanling)

Drat!

One of the account books

has been taken away.

What should we do?

This isn't my mother's account book.

Whose is this?

Lu Yu's.

The one that has been

taken away is ours.

An went to investigate them.

No need for that.

Who else could it be

to predict this?

I didn't expect

the person whom He Zhenwen

has been secretly dealing with

to be Rong Yudie.

But Pei Yan took away

Lu Yu's account book.

You lost the upper hand

when you confront Lu Yu next time.

Judging by the time,

His Majesty should've received

the missive by now.

Never mind.

Pei Yan

will present Lu Yu's account book

for me.

I don't understand.

I didn't mention the names

of those involved

in the Foundry Bureau case

in the missive.

Keeping weapons in secret

is a serious crime.

We must investigate it.

If you were Pei Yan,

and you wanted to protect the Pei Clan,

what would you do with the evidence

you have on Lu Yu?

To use a diversionary tactic?

Forget it.

I was wrong.

In my opinion,

Lord Pei was right.

You are keeping a mistress.

Ouch!

Keep a close watch on Pei Yan.

There will be movement soon.

Got it.

According to Commander Wei's

secret report,

the Foundry Bureau

has two batches of weapons.

One can slice through iron like butter,

and the other

is as fragile as bean dregs.

The former is the good batch,

and it hasn't been sent to Qingkang.

Yes.

Commander Wei also found

that He Zhenwen

had secretly forged weapons

under orders from someone for years.

They just haven't figured out

who that someone is yet.

And he said

What else did he say?

He said the investigation

was constantly obstructed

by the Pei Clan.

The Nanling's issue

is complicated, indeed.

Madam, something terrible has happened!

Why the panic?

It's just the residence

being surrounded.

Have Pei Yang return to

Changfeng Estate quickly and inform Yan.

Yes, Madam.

(Lord of Jianding's Residence)

(Changfeng Estate)

Your Lordship,

if you don't return soon,

it will be too late.

(Changfeng Estate)

Everything's happening

just as you predicted, My Lord.

Now that Pei Yan has left,

no matter who's left behind

to keep watch,

they won't be able to trap you.

To save his mother,

Pei Yan will definitely hand over

Lu Yu's account book.

Once that happens,

you will have every reason

to head to Liangzhou.

From there, you can take

a detour to Yueluo.

Get ready.

We will send Jiang Ci

to Yuzhou Island first

and then head to Liangzhou.

You are so generous to Miss Jiang,

going above and beyond for her.

What's the progress

of the investigation for the cloth bags?

We have checked several places.

Based on the distance,

we should have a report

by tomorrow night at the latest.

Great.

(Changfeng Estate)

Master,

you are so warm.

I miss you so much.

My

Is it morning already?

Pack your things.

I will take you to Yuzhou Island.

Really?

Yes.

All right.

Tell me.

What's going on?

The spy tracking Yan's

movements reported back.

Yan showed up on Yuzhou Island.

Do you know

why she went there?

Our people

bumped into Changfeng Guards

and alerted her.

Yan left in a hurry.

There's something else.

Speak.

We have been investigating

the distribution of those cloth bags.

Most of them went to the Huainan area,

but there's one other place.

That's Liang'an.

After several teams had done the search,

we found clues in Jiang Village.

A middle-aged woman

and a young girl lived there,

calling themselves master and disciple.

About a couple of months ago,

they both vanished overnight,

and their house in Jiang Village

was burned down.

Two months ago

That's when you met Miss Jiang, My Lord.

And her home

is in Jiang Village, coincidentally.

And she's going to meet her master

on Yuzhou Island.

You

and your master,

in my eyes, are just like this clay cat.

If something happens to me,

the people of Jiang Village

will be buried with me.

Do you believe me?

But now, I'm begging you.

Return the clay cat to me.

Don't harm my master.

This can't all be a coincidence.

Could it be

Miss Jiang is a disciple

of the Yan clan?

What are your plans?

The trip to Yuzhou Island

remains unchanged.

But our people said

We will go with her and take a look,

and we'll decide from there.

I will borrow these two

little clay cats for a while.

When are we leaving?

What about those watchers outside?

But I know

you will have a plan.

When we get to Yuzhou Island,

I will introduce you to my master.

Pack carefully.

Don't let those

outside watchers catch on.

All right.

I will listen to you.

Stand.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

You are saying

all the finely crafted weapons

from the Foundry Bureau

ended up in Lu Yu's hands?

I wouldn't dare speculate.

I'm simply presenting the facts

to Your Majesty.

What else have you discovered?

The Pei Clan of Nanling

conspired with Governor He Zhenwen,

committing corruption

and oppression.

I have compiled a list

of the Pei Clan members involved.

He Zhenwen and He Yonglin

have already confessed to their crimes.

Pei Yan,

you have handled this so well

that I can't find a single flaw.

I'm embarrassed, Your Majesty.

I just want to ease your burdens.

You have already resigned,

so you are not technically

my subject anymore.

But in my heart,

you are still Zijing's son,

still my family.

Go visit your mother.

She's been worried about you

ever since you left Qingkang.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Zizhu.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Am I doing a bad job as Emperor?

Your Majesty is unparalleled in wisdom,

unmatched in history.

Then why

do the ministers I rely on most

refuse to help me?

Your Majesty,

you have always

cared for your subjects.

Perhaps they

just don't understand

your good intentions.

I need Minister Lu.

The court needs the Zhenyuan Army.

Some mistakes are first-time offenses.

So, they can be forgiven.

Put it away.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Minister Lu has defended

our borders for years,

spending most of his time

away from home.

His son is all alone at home,

poor boy.

I feel guilty about that.

Tomorrow, arrange for someone

to take Lu out for some fun.

Let everyone see

how much I care for Minister Lu's son.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I have questions,

and I wish to ask you, Mother.

I have questions,

and I wish to ask you, Mother.

I have questions,

and I wish to ask you, Mother!

Your Lordship,

Madam is fully focused on her prayers

and won't see anyone.

Please go back, Your Lordship.

I have questions,

and I wish to ask you, Mother!

(Yuzhou Harbor)

We're here.

(Yuzhou Island, Liang State)

(Dragon King Shrine, Yuzhou Island)

Go to the Dragon King Temple

on Yuzhou Island in late autumn.

Use the clay cat as a token,

and someone will bring you to meet me.

(Dragon King Shrine)

You don't believe that Miss Jiang

is a disciple of the Yan clan?

It's not confirmed yet.

But we have been waiting here for days.

The election for city lord is imminent.

If we don't head back to Yueluo soon,

we will miss our chance.

It is a must to go to Yueluo.

Bring Jiang Ci with us.

If she really

is a disciple of the Yan clan,

she will definitely lead us

to the Yans.

You are taking Jiang Ci back to Yueluo?

But she's attached to her master.

Will she agree easily?

Yufei,

pass the word.

Have someone pretend to be the contact.

Noted.

Also,

Jiang Ci is quite smart.

She will likely use the genuine

and fake clay cats to test us.

Make sure they are prepared for that.
