[Episode 6]

- k*ll her!
- k*ll her!

You people are high and mighty.

You want me to die?

If I have to die, we'll die together!

If you die with evil obsessions,

evil spirits will come and plague the world.

- Who is this girl?
- I don't know.

I...

My town, Liangzhou,
was ravaged by Chong troops.

My fellow countrymen were k*lled by them.

Just now, I heard her wild remarks,
and anger overwhelmed me.

So, I was dying to k*ll her.

I...

Don't draw my sword casually.

Please don't blame me, General.

You contributed a lot to my army.

Sadness overwhelmed you, and you k*lled her.

I will not blame you.

Bravo! Well done!

- Well done!
- You did great!

Miss He, she hasn't confessed
how she sneaked into the granary.

You... How could you just k*ll her?

Mr. Lin,

we can still interrogate the guards on duty.

Not too much was burned.

It's all right.

The fire was put out promptly.
It didn't burn much.

- That's great!
- Everybody, don't panic.

Later, we'll distribute food.

Distribute food?

- So, we really didn't lose too much.
- That's great!

Everybody, disperse.

- Move, everybody.
- Everybody, go home.

Break it up.

Don't worry.

- We will distribute food as scheduled.
- Go home.

- Go home.
- Go.

Break it up.

Why did you do that?

If He Yan had died like that,
evil spirits would prey.

Just pretend I was being nosy.

General Duan,

how on earth did you get this sword?

That's a long story.

One day, on a bridge of Nandu,
I met an old man.

This is the truth.

Not long before I left,
I met a strange old man on that bridge.

He said he was hundreds of years old.

He suddenly stopped me,
and gave me this sword.

He also told me it was the Deliverance.

It means dispelling illusions
and resentments of mortals.

Those struck by it will get rid of illusions.

That's so you, Miss He.

You know everything.

I need to go investigate the fire case.

I'll take my leave.

General Duan,

you see how oddly I behave.

Don't you suspect that I was sent
by Duke Pei or North Chong?

Do you just take orders from people?

Judging from your skull,

you're born unruly,
and you act on your own authority.

Did he get the Deliverance

because he was my spell bearer?

What's up?

Great Ancestor, I found the real Duan Xu!

How did you find him?

I found Du Zheng,
who served Duan Xu in Daizhou.

He gave me a portrait of the young master
he had served.

Fang Xian Ye, the Censorial Counselor.

He's the real Duan Xu.

[Fang Xian Ye, Censorial Counselor]

Your Majesty, there's no way.

Can we really not deliver supplies
to Shuozhou

without suffering any casualties?
[Emperor of Great Liang]

[Yao Jian He, Duke Pei]
Your Majesty.

Although Duan Xu has occupied Shuozhou,

he disobeyed orders and defied the law.
[Du Yan Ting, Chancellor]

He sent troops without telling anyone.
[Duan Cheng Zhang, Minister of Rites]

So his army has been trapped in Shuozhou.

Now, even 200,000 Hulan soldiers
are lurking greedily.

How can the supplies
be delivered to Shuozhou?

Are you saying we're going to abandon


How can we help?

Duan Xu's life matters.

What about the lives

- of other soldiers?
- You...

Enough.

North Chong has occupied the north
of the Guanhe River for 30 years.

Now, we're about to cross the river.

We can't just abandon Shuozhou.

However, what General Duan is doing,
is extremely perilous.

Duke Pei's concern is justified.

Your Majesty, Shuozhou is under siege.

Supplies will run short.

Even if there's a slim chance,
we can't give in.

We understand that Minister Duan
cares for his son.

But now, no one can fight his way
through 200,000 Hulan soldiers.

We can gather supplies
before we manage to deliver them.

Who will take on this mission?

Me. I'll take on this mission.

The court is dismissed!

You got my son exiled to the front.

And now, you want to get him k*lled.

[Chongde Chamber]

He Yan got the key to the granary from Xie.

Obviously, she knew the Lins
guarded the granary with us.

She also knew very well
about the patrols and shifts.

Captain Han,
you're in charge of granary defense.

You must find out what happened today.

Yes, sir.

General Duan.

General Duan, I ask for your fair judgment.

General Duan!

I'm afraid someone else is behind Xie.

Compared to finding the spy,

we have something more urgent to do.

I've blocked the news.

But I want to be honest with you all.

The supplies from Marshal Qin
would have been enough for 15 days.

But they've been burned to ashes.

All we have now is some food
Mr. Lin has collected for me.

It's far from enough, though.

That madwoman...

What a mess!

Oh, it's burning me.

General, why don't we fight our way out,

and die together with Chong soldiers?

The more I k*ll, the more it's worth.

It's not time for death yet.

Before the enemy arrived,
I had asked my men to scout this area.

There's a secret path on the sunny side
of Mount Peng.

Tall enough for horses,
and wide enough for five men.

It leads to the enemy's rear.

As people say, tit for tat is only fair.

They burned our supplies,

so we'll take theirs in appreciation.

If Chong soldiers deliver supplies,

they have to pass through northern cities.

I have relatives there, too.

I'll contact them by pigeons,

and ask them to watch the grain carts.

Then let's do it.

[The Collection of Military Techniques]

[Duan Xu]
You're a fake.

You aren't an imperial relative.

You may even be a Chong.

Why did you fight aggressively
for Great Liang

and k*ll the Chong troops with zeal?

[Duan Xu]
What exactly are you up to?

General.

What's up?

You ordered me to solve the fire case.

But I'm confused about something.

I seek your guidance.

Go ahead.

Why are you so familiar with North Chong

when you've never been in the army?

Are you suspecting
I have a connection with them?

Yes.

I asked you to find the spy.

But I'm the first one that you suspect.

Are you worried I'm colluding with them,

and just pretending?

I'm not sure.

Please explain.

Captain Han,
I heard you escaped from North Chong.

You must have more connections with them.

I don't remember what happened back there.

You can't answer me,

yet you seek my answer instead.

If I suspect that
an unidentified man like you

from North Chong might be a spy,

how are you able to refute that?

You have the guts to suspect me.

Captain Han,

I'll pretend I didn't hear this.

Don't worry.

If Shuozhou is captured,

I will not survive alone.

He has acute senses
and remarkable responsiveness.

He's indeed the best among mortals.

I think it will feel great
when I borrow his five senses.

Look at this young general.

What did he suffer in his childhood?

What lies beneath the scars
of the branding iron?

And how are they related to his identity?

Excellent senses.

Foxy,

you're qualified to be my spell bearer.

[Liang]

General, you're still young.

In face of a major mission,
you were also too scared to sleep.

Don't worry.

Today, I will scout ahead for you.

You'll be safe.

Pass the order. Call up the troops.

Commandant Wu.

You should stay in Shuozhou.

What do you mean?

You don't trust me?

If I can't come back,
you will command in town.

My army trusts you.

I trust you, too.

I wrote to Marshal Qin
about the situation in town.

If tensions in Yuzhou ease,
he'll try to send reinforcements.

Then why don't you stay here?

We can go intercept the supplies.

If the mission fails and I'm still in town,

will Marshal Qin still rescue us?

But... We...

Han Ling Qiu.

Here.

Get 800 elite soldiers.

In the mid-afternoon, we'll depart.

Yes, sir.

We serve the same country.

Why would Marshal Qin not rescue us?

Commandant Wu, take my advice.

With your temper,
do not try to be an official.

The court, right now, is in dire straits.

If you go there, you'll be in deep trouble.

Meng Wan, Qing Sheng.

You must help Commandant Wu defend Shuozhou.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

Darn it.

Why do I feel this guy is protecting me?

Foxy.

Take cover! Hide!

Ambush! Take cover!

Captain Han. Don't stop.

Go k*ll the enemies!

Great! It really is grain.

General Duan is truly prophetic.

Move, move.

Come on.

There are more here.

Ambush!

- Hide now!
- Take cover!

Hide!

Hide!

So, someone is watching behind us to hunt us.

We're ambushed.

I think they want to take you and me alive.

Prepare to fight!

As a spirit, I didn't want to get involved.

But just now, I made a deal with
the young man you shot to death.

He begged me to save the Liang soldiers,

and I agreed.

She'll save us.

- She'll save us.
- Great.

So, North Chong soldiers,
will you do this for my sake?

Let them go.

He Xiao Xiao,

stop pretending.

Who would dare to bully you?

Foxy, you made an unexpected mistake, too.

Stop being mysterious!

- k*ll!
- k*ll!

Do you really think
I'm asking for your permission?

Move!

Run!

Rest in peace.

Miss He,

wipe off the blood.

And then?

Then, in exchange, Miss He,
can you let me keep this wondrous memory?

What? Do I need to re-introduce myself?

I'm Duan Xu,
as in "a supreme martial achievement".

My courtesy name is Shun Xi.

So, Miss, may I ask who are you?

By night, I carry a lantern to guide mortals.

By day, I carry a lantern to guide spirits.

I am the Sovereign of Spirits.

According to legend,

at the end of the East Sea
grows the Fusang Tree.

Under the tree is the Void Spirit World,
governed by the Sovereign.

I thought it was just a fabrication
from fascinating books.

So, it really exists.

If I have the chance,
I want to visit the Spirit World.

For centuries,
some information from the Spirit World

has reached the Mortal World.

But the world is way too vast.

Where can be considered
the end of the East Sea?

Just by this alone,
mortals can't make it into the Spirit World.

Obviously, I'm not He Xiao Xiao.

And you're not Duan Xu.

What are you talking about?

I am Duan Xu.

And my courtesy name is Shun Xi.

My grandpa and my father chose the names.

I'm genuine.

Don't try to fool me.

Listen.

I'm here to save you
because I want to make a deal with you.

What an honor to make a deal with you,
Your Grace.

But sadly, I'm...

Let's not stay here.

Shall we talk about it back in Shuozhou?

You're procrastinating.

How do you know I'm not begging you?

People don't usually beg
with this tough attitude.

Your Grace,
I'll be waiting for you in Shuozhou.

What happened?

Where's our enemy? Where are they?

Yeah. Where are they?

They must have been driven off.

- Clear the b*ttlefield. Hurry!
- Yeah.

Let's take back the weapons.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

General.

I'm sorry for that.

Come on.

I think the two of us
can't avoid fighting with swords.

In that situation, I was too nervous.

Please forgive me.

Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao.

Xiao...

She's a real sleepyhead.

Where's her jade pendant?

I knew it.

He Si Mu's spirit has left this body.

Once I know who this girl is,

I will know how to restrain He Si Mu.

General, you're finally back.

- Commandant Wu.
- Yes?

I finally made it back alive
after much hardship.

Yes, yes.

General, now that you're back,

I'll have to return
the military command to you.

You should be happy.

General.

Thank you.

Thank you...

for doing that for people in Shuozhou,
as well as me.

General, you're injured?

I'm fine.

Commandant Wu.

Handle these supplies properly.

No more lapses.

Count on me, General.

These supplies will last over half a month.

Han Ling Qiu is accused of treason.

He'll be detained now, and punished later.

General, what's going on here?

Someone sold our secrets.

During the grain raid,
Chong troops ambushed us.

We nearly got wiped out.

Then how do you know it was Han?

Because besides me,

he was the only man
the Chong troops wanted to take alive.

- Move!
- Move!

But...

Xiao Xiao, you're awake.

When I was asleep, did anyone come in?

No. What's wrong?

What?

Her jade pendant is back.

Did I see wrongly?

Let's make a deal.

I'm all ears.

I'll fulfill one of your wishes.

In exchange, you'll lend me your five senses.

One wish for each of the senses.

For ten days.

What if I refuse?

Under such circumstances,
you don't get a say.
