Let's split up.
Sure.
Elder Hong,
I remember you.
Who are you?
As long as the jade hairpin
is in my hand,
you can forget about
securing the position of city lord.
Stop chasing.
Father!
This is a serious matter,
we need to plan carefully.
Elder Hong,
did you find out that man's identity
when you confronted him?
All I know is
he admitted that
he has the jade hairpin.
The jade hairpin has been missing
ever since the death of Xiao Haitian.
That man has been defending
Xiao Haitian today.
Could he be
Xiao Wuxia?
The jade hairpin indeed
went missing along with
the siblings
of the Xiao family those days.
If he is really Xiao Wuxia,
I will definitely confront him.
Xiao Wuxia's fate has been unknown
for many years.
If that's really him,
there is something fishy
about his sudden appearance.
Could it be
that he's here to compete
for the position of city lord?
How dare he.
All the incidents in Yueluo
are caused by the Xiao family,
yet he has the nerve
to claim himself to be the city lord?
Even if he wants to fight for it,
who in this city recognizes him?
What do you intend to do?
According to Yueluo tribe's teachings,
to be the city lord,
indeed, one has to possess
the jade hairpin.
At present,
since we have clues
about the jade hairpin,
isn't this a golden opportunity
to unite Yueluo tribe?
If he is really Xiao Wuxia,
not only can we provide
an explanation to the tribe,
but we can also establish
our authority and prestige.
Well,
Elder Li, you are saying
Although I came first
in today's election,
having a vote-based competition
was a last resort,
and it's unfair to everyone.
How about if
the person who finds the jade hairpin
gets to be the next city lord?
Guys, look over there.
Search carefully.
Have you all seen what happened today?
I heard that man is Xiao Wuxia.
I can't believe it.
Otherwise,
why would Elder Ping and Elder Ji
be so desperate to capture him?
If that is really Xiao Wuxia,
I will be the first to fight him.
Yes, that's right!
If it weren't for the Xiao family,
we wouldn't be suffering today.
That Xiao Wuxia
actually has the nerve to come back.
Right.
Xiao Haitian ruined our family,
our wives and children
were separated.
How many of the tribespeople
have left their homes
and died, not leaving a corpse?
Right!
Why should he, a member of
the Xiao family, survive well? Why?
Yes!
Right!
Xiao Haitian died just like that,
and it was too easy for him!
- Too easy!
- Exactly!
Let's go to the Xiao family now
to get justice!
- Let's go!
- Yes!
- Go!
- Go!
Let's go together!
Go!
Let's follow them! Yes!
We'll tear the house down!
(Xiao Residence)
(Xiao Residence)
(Xiao Residence)
What are you doing here?
The Xiao family is right in front.
Smash it!
Go!
Make them suffer!
Destroy the Xiao family!
Avenge our loved ones!
Yes, destroy them!
This way, it's right in front!
Right here!
This way!
(Xiao Residence)
Destroy their house!
Smash it!
Destroy the Xiao family!
Destroy them! Here!
Here, too!
Don't think you'll have it easy either!
Smash it!
Smash it!
Here!
Smash it!
Why are they doing this again?
Stop!
Stop at once!
Harder!
I said stop! Do you hear me?
They are already dead,
yet you're still causing a ruckus here.
Leave, do you hear me?
Let's go!
Go!
♪The wind sighs

What song do you want to listen to?
I'd like to listen to

When I was young,
my master measured my height
like this, too.
The one on the left
belongs to my sister,
and the right one is mine.
In the past,
our parents measured our heights
every birthday.
I told my sister
that I would grow taller
than her in the next year
every time.
I will measure it for you this time.
There.
Raise it higher.
Father,
did I practice well?
Why do you want to
practice martial arts?
I want to be as brave, strong,
(and be a hero that everyone admires,
just like you.)
(Good.)
(Keep going.)
(It's time to eat.)
Brother,
come on.
It's your favourite Bitterless Congee.
Coming.
Are you hungry?
Let's eat.
Sure.
Watch out.
I have made you suffer
yesterday.
Relying solely on a vote
or the martial competition,
no elders can secure
the position of city lord,
hence they muddled the situation of
the election with the jade hairpin.
The spy, in a rush
to seize the opportunity,
is likely to reveal his true intention.
I'm just concerned that he might
ask for help from Lu Yu.
If that happens,
I'm afraid your identity may be exposed.
You'd better leave as soon as possible.
Nothing can be accomplished
without taking risks.
I will act with caution discreetly,
I will leave as soon as I found the spy.
As for the rest,
you can handle it.
That works, too.
(Yueluo)
(Liangzhou)
According to a confidential report
from Qingkang,
Pei Yan has persuaded His Majesty
to implement military reform.
He'll arrive in Liangzhou
in the next few days.
I fear it will endanger you
at that time.
Pei Yan is a little too inexperienced
to deal with me.
My Lord, a letter
from our covert arrangement
in Yueluo came.
The selection of the city lord
has been postponed.
Why?
Someone showed up in Yueluo
with a jade hairpin
and disrupted the plan.
What jade hairpin?
It is a symbol of Yueluo,
also a relic of Xiao Haitian.
Our covert arrangement is speculating
that the man who came
was Xiao Wuxia, Xiao Haitian's son.
I wonder if
there is some kind of conspiracy.
As expected,
the slave tribe is timid
and afraid of getting into trouble.
Let's not talk about how Xiao Wuxia,
a mere lost boy from a doomed family,
could stir up any waves.
He's just a dog after all.
Tell him
that the most important thing now is
to take the position of city lord
as soon as possible.
Yes, My Lord.
I'll convey the message right away.
(Liangzhou)
We are arriving at Zhenyuan Army Camp.
I'm afraid General Gong
has set something up.
Your Lordship, you must be careful.
Since the proposal for military reform
has been put forward,
it is bound to offend Lu Yu.
I'm afraid it won't be easy
to take Lu Yu back to Qingkang.
We need to
divert his attention from me.
Have the advance scouts in Liangzhou
found any leads
on Wei Zhao's whereabouts?
There is none.
Could it be
that he is not in Liangzhou?
Liangzhou is adjacent to Yueluo.
I discovered that the election
for the city lord of Yueluo
is currently taking place.
I wonder if Wei Zhao will be there.
Wei Zhao is really occupied.
Being a commander is not enough for him,
he still wants to be
the city lord of Yueluo.
Yueluo
What is Wei Zhao scheming?
No matter what his action will be,
I have to make an effort to retrieve
what belongs to Pei Clan.
Wei Zhao
and Lu Yu,
this is truly
a lose-lose situation, Your Lordship.
Do you have a plan?
We can stir something up
between Sanlang and Lu Yu
and make them fight each other.
When that happens,
whether it's borrowing Lu Yu's influence
to get what I want,
or leveraging Sanlang's strength
to bring Lu Yu back,
both are beneficial to me.
This is killing two birds
with one stone.
Your Lordship, that's brilliant.
(Liangzhou)
How do you
have no sense of
mutual understanding at all?
Where was this night owl
from, disturbing
my peaceful dreams
without even knocking?
Why would an owl knock on a door?
Let me show you something.
What is it?
Nice things are mysterious.
Alright.
Let's go.
Watch out for steps.
We're here.
You may take that off.

♪Looking at the mountains far away

Are you crying?
No.
Let me see.
No.
I don't believe you, let me see.
I'm really not.
Show me.
I said no.
I won't stare at you,
I'll just push you.

Shameless Cat,
just do
whatever you want to.
It's your turn to push me now.
Where are you going?
Didn't you say
that I can just do
whatever I want to?
Hello.
Have you seen
a Liangzhou woman in her forties?
- No.
- Hi,
have you met a woman
with curved brows?
Hi, have you seen
a Liangzhou woman in her forties?
Have you seen a woman
with curved brows?
Hello,
have you seen a Liangzhou woman
in her forties?
Hello, may I ask if you met this person?
I've not seen her.
Have you ever seen a Liangzhou woman
with curved brows
in her forties?
No.
Hi, have you seen
a woman with thin and curved brows?
No.
This is a very important letter.
Please be sure
to send it to Jiang Village.
Don't worry, Miss.
Thank you.
Jiang Ci, let's go.
Why did you think of
writing a letter to your master?
What if I get sidetracked from her?
I'm sending a letter back
just in case.
She won't worry if she knows I'm safe.
Let's go.
Keep looking.
Sir,
we might as well prepare two plans
and use that girl's name
to draw the Yans out.
Amidst the chaos,
we can also escape.
No,
we have to do them one by one.
Lure the spy first.
Noted.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I just went out for a walk.
My master must be
looking for me everywhere now.
It's getting colder,
if her leg's condition attacks again,
there will be no one
to give her a massage.
Come,
I'll take you somewhere.
Sir, can I have your order?
Get us all your signature dishes.
He is not short of money.
Sure.
Two servings
of Bitterless Congee, please.
Are you not from Yueluo?
We are,
but we just came back recently.
We don't serve Bitterless Congee here.
Why not?
No means no.
Just order something else
or leave now.
Stop disrupting my business.
We'll have eggs instead, then.
Forget it,
let's go to another place.
Go, then.
We don't sell Bitterless Congee here.
Yueluo is huge,
why isn't Bitterless Congee available?
It's fine, let's go get something else.
Lingjiu Flower is in Mingyue Valley,
I'll take you to find it.
This is exactly the same as what
was written in Yueluo Guide.
Mingyue Valley is right in front.
What's wrong?
I have a stomach ache.
We should go back first.
Let's go.
Mountains and rivers of Zhenyuan
and Ningbian endure forever!

Mountains and rivers of Zhenyuan
and Ningbian endure forever!
Greetings, General Lu.
I have heard about Zhenyuan Army
for a long time.
Seeing it today,
it truly exudes an impressive aura.
Pei Yan,
I know very well the reason
you came here this time.
I came here because of
the military reform.
Your memorial
is aimed at handing over
my Zhenyuan army to others.
General Lu, you are right.
After the reform, the deployment
of troops and allocation
of salaries will follow
the unified planning of the court.
That depends on the rules
and the current situation.
Rules are set by His Majesty,
and the situation is made by people.
Pei Yan,
you handed me the account book earlier
and you are now taking control
of the military reform.
You have repeatedly
caused issues for me.
Aren't you afraid that I might kill you?
I feel ashamed regarding the matter
of the account book.
I will certainly apologize to you.
How about I prepare a feast
and invite Sanlang, too?
General Lu, I kindly ask for
your participation.
Is Wei Zhao
in Liangzhou, too?
Hasn't Sanlang come to visit?
There must be some delays.
What are all of you doing?
Wei Zhao is here in Liangzhou,
yet none of you knows?
General Lu, please calm down.
Wei Zhao must have come to
investigate me on the orders of Xie Che.
Get your men to be more alert.
Lead a team to search for
Wei Zhao's whereabouts
both inside and outside the city.
Yes, General.
Get lost.
Everything was as expected by Lord Pei.
General Lu has his attention set
on Wei Zhao.
Send someone to Yueluo
to find out Wei Zhao's whereabouts.
Yes, Your Lordship.
Remember to look for Ci, too.
Bring her back immediately
if you find her.
Yes, Your Lordship.
Remember,
never ever hurt her.
Is your stomach still hurting?
No.
Let's go,
I'll take you to find Lingjiu Flower.
It's fine.
I'm not in a rush anyway.
Haven't you been very busy recently?
Let's search for them again
when you're less occupied.
Fine.
Yu Lian,
I'd like to ask about Mingyue Valley.
You have seen it.
(With the ongoing war,)
(Yueluo is trapped between
Liang and Wei State,)
(caught in a precarious situation.)
(Coupled with Lu Yu's
rampant slaughter,)
(Mingyue Valley has already become
a mass grave.)
(No Lingjiu Flowers)
(can be grown on mass graves.)
(Hence, Bitterless Congee)
(has extinct.)
Father.
Mother.
Xiu.
Ying.
I'm here to see you.
I've been well.
Do not worry about me
down there.
I miss you so much.

♪Flipping through
those unforgettable scenes♪
Yu Lian told me
that Yueluo tolls the bell
every full moon.
It was originally
to commemorate the dead,
but it has now turned into a prayer,
to pray for those who have left home
but have not returned
to be safe and happy.
Yueluo is just a small town
caught between two big states.
There is never a choice,
so this is inevitable.
I wanted to learn
how to play this for you,
but I've only heard it once.
I will find Lingjiu Flowers.
I've already searched for it.
It has extinct.
Humans think plants are weak
and can be trampled at will.
However, all plants have souls,
and they have vitality stronger
than that of humans.
If Lingjiu Flowers can grow
beside coffins
and survive for years,
I choose to believe
that it won't allow itself
to die so easily.
Even if the flowers are extinct,
there will still be seeds.
I won't be here in a few days,
you should follow Yu Lian
instead of running around.
Will you be in danger?
Those who can hurt me
This is for you.
Is this the one that hurt me?
Use it for self-defense.
I never expected that one day,
the thing that hurt me
could also protect me.
The world is unpredictable,
and people's hearts are easily swayed.

Young Master,
I really can't understand
why would you keep the jade hairpin
with that girl.
I have to show up in person,
so I can't have
the jade hairpin with me.
I'll let her have it for now.
That is such an important object,
and you're letting her have it?
What if she betrays you?
What do we do then?
Tell Yu Lian to take care of them,
and don't make any more mistakes.
Stop showing her attitude either.
Any news from Qingkang?
Pei Yan submitted a memorial
to His Majesty
regarding the military reform
and His Majesty asked him
to head to Liangzhou.
According to this timing,
he should have arrived at Luying.
With him coming like this,
it's hard to guarantee
that he won't interfere
and create complications.
I still have his account book with me,
so he wouldn't dare to
confront me openly for now.
Just be cautious.
Yes.
He is gone.
Do you know where can I
find Lingjiu Flowers
other than Mingyue Valley?
Why are you asking this?
I want to grow Lingjiu Flowers.
Very arrogant.
Do you know the answer?
Just tell me.
Just tell her already.
I don't want to be annoyed
to death by her these days.
There's no point telling her.
Mingyue Valley is often blown
by the west wind,
and to the east is Guxing Peak.
There is a possibility
that the seeds
would be blown there.
Guxing Peak's terrain
is steep and perilous,
and you wouldn't be able to hike it.
How do you know that
if I don't try?
Are you actually going to show up?
Luring the snake out of its hole
is the fastest way.
That is too dangerous.
I was the one who dragged you
into this in the first place.
If you get exposed because of this,
well
I want all the people
in Yueluo to witness
the day I avenge my father's injustice.

I want to be as brave, strong,
(and be a hero that everyone admires,
just like you.)
(Good.)
(Keep going.)
(It's time to eat.)
Brother,
come on.
It's your favourite Bitterless Congee.
Coming.
Are you hungry?
Let's eat.
Sure.
Watch out.
I have made you suffer
yesterday.
Relying solely on a vote
or the martial competition,
no elders can secure
the position of city lord,
hence they muddled the situation of
the election with the jade hairpin.
The spy, in a rush
to seize the opportunity,
is likely to reveal his true intention.
I'm just concerned that he might
ask for help from Lu Yu.
If that happens,
I'm afraid your identity may be exposed.
You'd better leave as soon as possible.
Nothing can be accomplished
without taking risks.
I will act with caution discreetly,
I will leave as soon as I found the spy.
As for the rest,
you can handle it.
That works, too.
(Yueluo)
(Liangzhou)
According to a confidential report
from Qingkang,
Pei Yan has persuaded His Majesty
to implement military reform.
He'll arrive in Liangzhou
in the next few days.
I fear it will endanger you
at that time.
Pei Yan is a little too inexperienced
to deal with me.
My Lord, a letter
from our covert arrangement
in Yueluo came.
The selection of the city lord
has been postponed.
Why?
Someone showed up in Yueluo
with a jade hairpin
and disrupted the plan.
What jade hairpin?
It is a symbol of Yueluo,
also a relic of Xiao Haitian.
Our covert arrangement is speculating
that the man who came
was Xiao Wuxia, Xiao Haitian's son.
I wonder if
there is some kind of conspiracy.
As expected,
the slave tribe is timid
and afraid of getting into trouble.
Let's not talk about how Xiao Wuxia,
a mere lost boy from a doomed family,
could stir up any waves.
He's just a dog after all.
Tell him
that the most important thing now is
to take the position of city lord
as soon as possible.
Yes, My Lord.
I'll convey the message right away.
(Liangzhou)
We are arriving at Zhenyuan Army Camp.
I'm afraid General Gong
has set something up.
Your Lordship, you must be careful.
Since the proposal for military reform
has been put forward,
it is bound to offend Lu Yu.
I'm afraid it won't be easy
to take Lu Yu back to Qingkang.
We need to
divert his attention from me.
Have the advance scouts in Liangzhou
found any leads
on Wei Zhao's whereabouts?
There is none.
Could it be
that he is not in Liangzhou?
Liangzhou is adjacent to Yueluo.
I discovered that the election
for the city lord of Yueluo
is currently taking place.
I wonder if Wei Zhao will be there.
Wei Zhao is really occupied.
Being a commander is not enough for him,
he still wants to be
the city lord of Yueluo.
Yueluo
What is Wei Zhao scheming?
No matter what his action will be,
I have to make an effort to retrieve
what belongs to Pei Clan.
Wei Zhao
and Lu Yu,
this is truly
a lose-lose situation, Your Lordship.
Do you have a plan?
We can stir something up
between Sanlang and Lu Yu
and make them fight each other.
When that happens,
whether it's borrowing Lu Yu's influence
to get what I want,
or leveraging Sanlang's strength
to bring Lu Yu back,
both are beneficial to me.
This is killing two birds
with one stone.
Your Lordship, that's brilliant.
(Liangzhou)
How do you
have no sense of
mutual understanding at all?
Where was this night owl
from, disturbing
my peaceful dreams
without even knocking?
Why would an owl knock on a door?
Let me show you something.
What is it?
Nice things are mysterious.
Alright.
Let's go.
Watch out for steps.
We're here.
You may take that off.

Hello.
Have you seen

No.
This is a very important letter.
Please be sure
to send it to Jiang Village.
Don't worry, Miss.
Thank you.
Jiang Ci, let's go.
Why did you think of
writing a letter to your master?
What if I get sidetracked from her?
I'm sending a letter back
just in case.
She won't worry if she knows I'm safe.
Let's go.
Keep looking.
Sir,
we might as well prepare two plans
and use that girl's name
to draw the Yans out.
Amidst the chaos,
we can also escape.
No,
we have to do them one by one.
Lure the spy first.
Noted.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I just went out for a walk.
My master must be
looking for me everywhere now.
It's getting colder,
if her leg's condition attacks again,
there will be no one
to give her a massage.
Come,
I'll take you somewhere.
Sir, can I have your order?
Get us all your signature dishes.
He is not short of money.
Sure.
Two servings
of Bitterless Congee, please.
Are you not from Yueluo?
We are,
but we just came back recently.
We don't serve Bitterless Congee here.
Why not?
No means no.
Just order something else
or leave now.
Stop disrupting my business.
We'll have eggs instead, then.
Forget it,
let's go to another place.
Go, then.
We don't sell Bitterless Congee here.
Yueluo is huge,
why isn't Bitterless Congee available?
It's fine, let's go get something else.
Lingjiu Flower is in Mingyue Valley,
I'll take you to find it.
This is exactly the same as what
was written in Yueluo Guide.
Mingyue Valley is right in front.
What's wrong?
I have a stomach ache.
We should go back first.
Let's go.

Greetings, General Lu.
I have heard about Zhenyuan Army
for a long time.
Seeing it today,
it truly exudes an impressive aura.
Pei Yan,
I know very well the reason
you came here this time.
I came here because of
the military reform.
Your memorial
is aimed at handing over
my Zhenyuan army to others.
General Lu, you are right.
After the reform, the deployment
of troops and allocation
of salaries will follow
the unified planning of the court.
That depends on the rules
and the current situation.
Rules are set by His Majesty,
and the situation is made by people.
Pei Yan,
you handed me the account book earlier
and you are now taking control
of the military reform.
You have repeatedly
caused issues for me.
Aren't you afraid that I might kill you?
I feel ashamed regarding the matter
of the account book.
I will certainly apologize to you.
How about I prepare a feast
and invite Sanlang, too?
General Lu, I kindly ask for
your participation.
Is Wei Zhao
in Liangzhou, too?
Hasn't Sanlang come to visit?
There must be some delays.
What are all of you doing?
Wei Zhao is here in Liangzhou,
yet none of you knows?
General Lu, please calm down.
Wei Zhao must have come to
investigate me on the orders of Xie Che.
Get your men to be more alert.
Lead a team to search for
Wei Zhao's whereabouts
both inside and outside the city.
Yes, General.
Get lost.
Everything was as expected by Lord Pei.
General Lu has his attention set
on Wei Zhao.
Send someone to Yueluo
to find out Wei Zhao's whereabouts.
Yes, Your Lordship.
Remember to look for Ci, too.
Bring her back immediately
if you find her.
Yes, Your Lordship.
Remember,
never ever hurt her.
Is your stomach still hurting?
No.
Let's go,
I'll take you to find Lingjiu Flower.
It's fine.
I'm not in a rush anyway.
Haven't you been very busy recently?
Let's search for them again
when you're less occupied.
Fine.
Yu Lian,
I'd like to ask about Mingyue Valley.
You have seen it.
(With the ongoing war,)
(Yueluo is trapped between
Liang and Wei State,)
(caught in a precarious situation.)
(Coupled with Lu Yu's
rampant slaughter,)
(Mingyue Valley has already become
a mass grave.)
(No Lingjiu Flowers)
(can be grown on mass graves.)
(Hence, Bitterless Congee)
(has extinct.)
Father.
Mother.
Xiu.
Ying.
I'm here to see you.
I've been well.
Do not worry about me
down there.
I miss you so much.

♪Flipping through
those unforgettable scenes♪
Yu Lian told me
that Yueluo tolls the bell
every full moon.
It was originally
to commemorate the dead,
but it has now turned into a prayer,
to pray for those who have left home
but have not returned
to be safe and happy.
Yueluo is just a small town
caught between two big states.
There is never a choice,
so this is inevitable.
I wanted to learn
how to play this for you,
but I've only heard it once.
I will find Lingjiu Flowers.
I've already searched for it.
It has extinct.
Humans think plants are weak
and can be trampled at will.
However, all plants have souls,
and they have vitality stronger
than that of humans.
If Lingjiu Flowers can grow
beside coffins
and survive for years,
I choose to believe
that it won't allow itself
to die so easily.
Even if the flowers are extinct,
there will still be seeds.
I won't be here in a few days,
you should follow Yu Lian
instead of running around.
Will you be in danger?
Those who can hurt me
This is for you.
Is this the one that hurt me?
Use it for self-defense.
I never expected that one day,
the thing that hurt me
could also protect me.

Young Master,
I really can't understand
why would you keep the jade hairpin
with that girl.
I have to show up in person,
so I can't have
the jade hairpin with me.
I'll let her have it for now.
That is such an important object,
and you're letting her have it?
What if she betrays you?
What do we do then?
Tell Yu Lian to take care of them,
and don't make any more mistakes.
Stop showing her attitude either.
Any news from Qingkang?
Pei Yan submitted a memorial
to His Majesty
regarding the military reform
and His Majesty asked him
to head to Liangzhou.
According to this timing,
he should have arrived at Luying.
With him coming like this,
it's hard to guarantee
that he won't interfere
and create complications.
I still have his account book with me,
so he wouldn't dare to
confront me openly for now.
Just be cautious.
Yes.
He is gone.
Do you know where can I
find Lingjiu Flowers
other than Mingyue Valley?
Why are you asking this?
I want to grow Lingjiu Flowers.
Very arrogant.
Do you know the answer?
Just tell me.
Just tell her already.
I don't want to be annoyed
to death by her these days.
There's no point telling her.
Mingyue Valley is often blown
by the west wind,
and to the east is Guxing Peak.
There is a possibility
that the seeds
would be blown there.
Guxing Peak's terrain
is steep and perilous,
and you wouldn't be able to hike it.
How do you know that
if I don't try?
Are you actually going to show up?
Luring the snake out of its hole
is the fastest way.
That is too dangerous.
I was the one who dragged you
into this in the first place.
If you get exposed because of this,
well
I want all the people
in Yueluo to witness
the day I avenge my father's injustice.
