【ENG DUB】Legend of Zang Hai EP23 | Xiao Zhan / Zhang Jingyi / Zhou Qi / Huang Jue | YOUKU
[Legend of Zang Hai] [Episode 23] Mr. Zhifu, sorry I didn’t greet you sooner. What were you doing? Why didn’t you announce his arrival? My apologies, sir. You seemed busy, so I told him not to stay quiet. What are you…? [The bronze fish is about 2 cun long and half a cun wide] It’s nothing important. Just a sketch to keep my hand steady. Here. Take these to the study. Mr. Zhifu? I came by today to see if you’d join me for some drinks and music. You’ve been working nonstop. You need a break. You may not know this, but I can’t hold my liquor. Even a sip gets me drunk, and once I’m drunk, I ramble and say all the wrong things. Let’s just enjoy the music. Skip the drinks. Fair enough. Just the music. No drinks. I promise. Come on. Let’s go. [Zang Residence] Where was I? You’ve already said too much. No, don’t interrupt. I remember now. Yes… Chu Huaiming! That fool… He made my life miserable… Zang Hai, my friend, you really can’t hold your liquor. Mr. Zang… Mr. Zang… Why did you drink so much? Come on. Help him inside to rest. Mr. Zhuang, it’s late. Shall I send someone to escort you home? No need. I’m exhausted too. I’ll just stay here tonight. Find me a room. Yes, sir. Mr. Zang, come on. Where are we going? Back to your room. Easy now. – Where are we going? – To your room, sir. Take it slow. [The bronze fish is about 2 cun long and half a cun wide] Thank you, Mr. Zhuang. Take Mr. Zhuang to rest. Yes, sir. Father, this looks like the structure of some kind of box, along with instructions for disabling its mechanism. And there is a bronze fish over here. Indeed. Zhuang Luyin actually told Zang Hai about the bronze fish. It really is connected to the Gui Seal. Could it be that Zhuang Luyin already has the seal? What will you do, Father? This time, I’m going to confirm it myself. Hai, Zhuang Zhifu sent word. He’s inviting you to lunch tomorrow at Zuichun Pavilion. Zang Hai, this here is Zuichun Pavilion’s newest lamb wine. It’s smooth and rich. You’ve got to give it a proper try. Today, we’ll drink to our hearts’ content. No going home sober, all right? Here. Thank you, Mr. Zhifu. Let’s drink, then. Cheers. What do you think? It’s excellent. Since you like it, have a few more. Come on. Please. Great! One more. Mr. Zhifu, maybe we should have some food first. Zang Hai, if you want to stay in everyone’s good graces at court, you’ll need to learn to hold your liquor. So today, let me help you train. Zang Hai, you’re drunk. No, you’re drunk. Did you find that thing my father asked you to find? What thing? I thought that after the past few days, we were already friends. Friends? Wasn’t it your mother who went to the Marquis to speak ill of me? Didn’t you two try to get me kicked out? Don’t think I didn’t know. You really dare say that to my face? Why wouldn’t I? Why wouldn’t I? Do you have any idea how much the Marquis values me now? I’m more capable than any of you ever imagined. Come on. Zang Hai, I admit it. Being close with Yang Zhen and the others made me biased against you. But we have to look ahead, right? Honestly, I admire you as much as my father does. From now on, we’ll only grow closer. I really hope you’ll treat me as a friend you can speak freely to. A friend I can say anything to… I’m so glad you see me as a friend. So, Zang Hai, tell me, did you find that thing my father asked you to find? The Gui Seal? You mean the Gui Seal? Yeah, the Marquis mentioned it. He said he went through so much just to track it down. He said that with the Gui Seal, anything’s possible. Anything’s possible… Hey, stay with me. So did you find it or not? Where is it? Did I find it? No… Zang Hai. Don’t go, Zang Hai. Come back here. Watch your step. Why are you leaving? I can’t. I can’t say… The Marquis told me never to tell outsiders. Outsiders? Am I an outsider? I swear I won’t tell a soul. All right? Hey. I doubt that Father ever told you anything. He doesn’t value you at all. Nonsense! Come here. Come closer! The thing is in the underground vault of the Marquis’s treasury. Zang Hai? Zang Hai? Zang Hai? Mr. Cao. Mr. Cao! Did you hear all that, sir? I got him to talk. He said the Marquis found the Gui Seal and hid it in the treasury. You didn’t know? So the Marquis never told you? My father never mentioned a word. Zhifu, you see, what he just said is your father’s biggest secret. Your father trusted him with it. That makes him your father’s true confidant. But now, he’s chosen to side with your younger brother. What does that tell you? As long as he’s around, Zhuang Zhixing will be the heir. Impossible! I’m the rightful heir. I’m the son of my father’s principal wife! Your mother, Jiang Xiang, may remain in favor, but it’s not what it once was. How much sway does she have now? Jiang Xiang… Jiang Xiang killed Shen. What are you talking about? I’m not making it up. Everyone knows. Even Zhuang Zhixing knows. No… No. Zhifu, how about this? Zang Hai may have sided with your brother, but I can side with you. Kill him, and I’ll guarantee your wealth and power. What do you say? Once he’s gone, Zhuang Zhixing will go back to his old self. On his own, he’s no threat. And the next head of the family will surely be you. What are you waiting for? I… I’m sorry! Mr. Zhifu… Mr. Zhifu… Why…? Why…? Good boy. From now on, I’ll do everything in my power to help you. Hang in there. Father! Father, someone rescued Zang Hai. Did you see who? His guard. So Zang Hai survived. That complicates things. Mr. Cao, what do you mean? Mr. Zhuang, you’re not only corrupt, but you also tried to kill a court official. No, I didn’t. Guards. What are you doing? If you don’t admit it, the Surveillance Office will get to the bottom of things. You’re coming with us. Mr. Cao… I already did everything you told me to! Shut up! Shilei, get us home, now! Got it. Master is tailing Cao Jingxian as planned. We should head back and stop the bleeding. We can’t go back. I can still hold on. You won’t last much longer. You’ll bleed to death! We stick to the plan. Take me to the Marquis’s Mansion. Hai, are you insane? You’ll die! Trust me. I know what I’m doing. Take me to the Marquis! Shilei, to the Marquis’s Mansion. Got it. My Lord! My Lord! My Lord! What’s wrong? Why the panic? It’s bad! Why are you bleeding? This isn’t my blood. It’s Mr. Zang’s. He’s badly hurt. Zang Hai! Stop standing around. Get a physician! Yes, My Lord. What happened? My Lord… I can’t hold on much longer, but there’s something I must tell you. The one who tried to kill me today… was… Who was it? It was… Mr. Zhifu. Zhifu tried to kill you? He invited me to lunch. Then he attacked me for no reason. Then… Cao Jingxian showed up. Cao Jingxian? He must have something on Mr. Zhifu, so Mr. Zhifu was forced to kill me. Mr. Zhifu must be in danger now. Hurry… Go save him! Zang Hai. Zang Hai! You can’t die now. Hang in there! Zang Hai? Zang Hai! Where’s the physician? My Lord. Come in. My Lord, the Surveillance Office still won’t release Mr. Zhifu. Zhuang Shan, go summon two people for me: Xu Daishan, the Deputy Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, and Qi Ming, the Assistant Censor-in-Chief. Understood. Xu Daishan and Qi Ming have been visiting the Marquis’s Mansion frequently. They and the Marquis are awfully close now. Father, the Marquis’s birthday is coming up. I’ve heard he’s planning a grand banquet. And this time, he’s invited many officials who don’t see eye to eye with you. Looks like he’s done pretending. Now that he has the Gui Seal, he’s ready to move against me. [Zang Residence] Master… Master. Oh, Hai, you’re finally awake. Once your condition stabilized, the Marquis had you sent back. You’ve been out for days. Easy now. Here, Hai. Easy. No rush. Master, how are things at the Marquis’s Mansion? Zhuang Zhifu got detained by the Surveillance Office that day and hasn’t returned since. The Marquis has been meeting with his allies from the Censorate in his mansion. Looks like he’s rallying support to impeach Cao Jingxian. So he believed me. Your act really caught him off guard. It was the only way. Now, he’ll believe whatever I say. Cao Jingxian probably already knows the Marquis is coming for him. ♪When will the green mountains be gone?♪ ♪How many people are buried here?♪ ♪Who will sweep the lonely graves?♪ ♪Wind sends joss paper from the neighboring graves♪ [Reflect Deeply, Grow Endlessly] He learned from me that the Gui Seal was hidden in the Marquis’s treasury. Given his temperament, he’ll want to strike first. If I were him, and I needed to take down the Marquis while also finding the seal, I’d need help from someone who knows what happened back then. And that person would probably be my third enemy. Shilei and I will keep watch on Cao’s Mansion. We’ll alert you as soon as he makes a move. Hungry, huh? I’ve got food ready. I’ll go get it. Hai. Hai. Cao Jingxian finally left his mansion. I’ve sent Shilei to tail him. He’s desperate now. I’m going after him. You’re still recovering. No time to worry about that. Wait… At least put on more clothes! [Hostage’s Mansion] [Hostage’s Mansion] Sir, what is this place? It’s the residence of a royal hostage. So your third enemy lives here? I can’t say for sure. I’ll have to get inside to find out. But there are so many Surveillance Officers outside. How are we supposed to get in? What… What are you doing? The land route is blocked, so I’ll go in through the water. I know the city’s layout. There’s an underground channel that leads to the mansion. But sir… Shilei, wait for me here. Your Highness, I came tonight to discuss something important. I know where the Gui Seal is. I’m willing to tell you everything on one condition: you must honor our agreement. If you’re here before even getting the seal, it must be hidden somewhere that’s giving you trouble. You’re sharp as ever, Your Highness. To be frank, I’m not fully confident I can retrieve it. But I’m willing to be open with you. Let’s talk and see how we can both come out ahead. Sure. We’ll stick to our deal. Then could you tell me what the Gui Seal does, Your Highness? You’ll know when we get it. I’m certain the Gui Seal is in the Marquis’s hands. It’s hidden beneath his treasury. Zhuang Luyin is hosting a banquet the night after tomorrow. I plan to show up uninvited. If we work together, getting the seal will be easy. Aren’t you afraid I’ll disappear with it once I have it? Surely you jest, Your Highness. You’re a royal hostage from Dongxia. What will happen if you vanish? I think you know that better than I do. It was I who came to you back then. Of course I’d come prepared. Once the seal is in our hands, everything is negotiable. I’ve searched for it long enough. I can’t wait any longer. Good night. Sir! Are you all right? So the third person is the hostage princess from Dongxia? They say she hasn’t left her mansion over the past ten years. No one’s even seen her face. She arrived in the Capital the day before your family fell. But she was only ten back then. History has no shortage of prodigies who outsmart adults from a young age. Besides, I heard their entire conversation clearly. It makes sense. The Gui Seal is Dongxia’s greatest treasure. Your father took it from Dongxia. Of course she’d come for it. Here. Since Cao has decided to act, she won’t stand by and watch. She won’t let him take the Gui Seal alone. Therefore, she’ll show up that day. And I’ll be there, waiting for my enemies. Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Sir, someone’s here to see you. Keep going! One! Two! Three! What brings you here today? I have something important to tell you. You’re off duty tomorrow, right? Yes. It’s Father’s birthday tomorrow. I’ve prepared a gift. Why? Tomorrow night, the Marquis is hosting a banquet for close allies to discuss impeaching Cao Jingxian. Cao’s already caught wind of it. He’ll definitely show up. What’s going to happen? Knowing your father and Cao Jingxian, it won’t end peacefully. What do you want me to do? Tell me, how’s your relationship with your men these days? If you are to return to the mansion to rescue your father tomorrow night, will they follow you? They follow my lead now. It shouldn’t be a problem. Good. Then gather your men and charge back to the mansion tomorrow night. Only in a moment of true crisis like this will your father see your worth. It’ll mean more than any birthday gift. I’m not asking you to do this out of filial duty. This is for your own sake. Zhuang Zhifu is done for. This is your chance. When do we move? Wait for my signal. [Welcome with Great Enthusiasm] Wait here. Yes, sir. Miss Xiang, your swordsmanship is truly impressive. What brings you here? I just felt like taking a walk today. And somehow, I ended up here at Zhen Tower. What a coincidence. I was just about to visit you. Do you have something to say to me? Last time, I said you’d have to trade your secret for mine. But I’ve changed my mind. I can tell you everything, no strings attached. You’re not curious anymore? Friends shouldn’t keep secrets from each other. Tomorrow night at Xu hour, meet me at Qingque Bridge outside the city. Tomorrow night? I’m here now, Miss Xiang. Why not tell me today? Today’s not a good time. I’ll tell you everything tomorrow night. But… tomorrow night is the Marquis’s birthday banquet. So what? He’ll have another birthday next year. What, are you hoping to make more powerful friends at the banquet? I warned you, didn’t I? Officials are the worst in the Capital. You’ve got the wrong idea, Miss Xiang. The Marquis helped me once in court. I owe him. I can’t skip his banquet. Seriously, Zang Hai? You finally get the chance to know my secret, and you’re saying no? I know the Marquis has helped you, but haven’t I helped you too? If you’re willing to share your secret, it means you truly see me as a friend. How about this? Wait for me a little longer tomorrow night. We can talk later. Don’t even think about it. If you’re not there by Xu hour, you’ll never hear that secret. All right. You have my word. Then it’s settled. See you tomorrow night. Miss, are you really going to tell him? There’s no point in hiding it anymore. You’ll go in my place. There will be blood at the Marquis’s banquet tomorrow. I want him far away from it and out of harm’s way. Stay by his side. Whatever happens, don’t let him leave. No, I need to protect you. Once it’s over, I’ll go meet him. [Cao’s Mansion] Tonight’s going to be brutal. You’re my most trusted men. I’ve fed and trained you for years. Now it’s time for you to repay me. – We pledge our lives to you, sir! – We pledge our lives to you, sir! Lu Yan. The Dongxia hostage will show up. Stay close to her. Understood. Shilei, do you remember everything I said? Guanfeng, don’t mess up your part. Master, I’m heading out. Be careful. We’ll stick to the plan. Guanfeng, when you see her, tell her I got drunk at the banquet. Tell her not to wait for me. I will. Go. ♪Conceal the ambition in my eyes♪ ♪In my palm, I hold a dangerous desire♪ ♪Turbulent waves hidden in my sleeves♪ ♪Silent thunder echoes around♪ ♪However cunning you are♪ ♪I can see♪ ♪Right through you♪ ♪Schemes are my armor♪ ♪Overt plans are my weapons♪ ♪With restrained fury♪ ♪I purge the world’s corruption♪ ♪The night is not dark♪ ♪Because♪ ♪My heart burns bright♪ ♪I control the shifting clouds♪ ♪I command the falling rain♪ ♪The compass of the human soul is unpredictable♪ ♪There will always be ups and downs♪ ♪I hold the power of life and death♪ ♪I grant and I take away♪ ♪When faith burns like the scorching sun♪ ♪I will sing aloud with you♪ ♪I am the sowing season♪ ♪I am the autumn harvest♪ ♪I am the world♪ ♪I am the people♪ ♪And you are also me♪
