Pledge of Allegiance (Brotherhood of Blades: Shadow of Mountain and River / Xiu Chun Dao Shan He Zhi Ying / 山河之影)

He either knows it or he doesn't.

He either exists or he doesn't.

Who is he?

He is Confucius.

He knows what he knows.

He doesn't exist at all.

Who is he?

He is Mr. Shu.

So he fainted.

Please spare my life.

I...

I saw nothing.

I didn't see anything.

Open your eyes.

I dare not.

I know the rules.

If I open my eyes, I'll be killed.

Where is the emperor?

I'm new here.

I don't know.

Why don't you ask someone else?

Then...

There's no need for you to live.

I remember now.

His Majesty should be

reading the memorials at the Jinshen Hall.

Where is the Jinshen Hall?

It's above the three offices,

behind the Huagai Palace.

Where is the Huagai Hall?

How about I take you there?

Lead the way.

I... I saw nothing.

Heroine, spare me.

I saw nothing, heroine.

If you didn't see me,

how did you know I'm a woman?

Idiot.

I've been talking to you for a while.

How can you not know I'm a woman?

Yes.

You're right.

You're right.

Enough.

If I wanted to kill you,

you would have died.

Well...

Don't be glib with me.

I hate men who are glib-tongued.

Yes.

Yes.

I'm a man.

Why do I need a woman's hairpin?

For my future wife?

Let me ask you one more question.

Where is the Wine, Vinegar and Flour Bureau?

How is Ms. Zhang?

She's not injured.

After the attack,

she has been in her room.

This person

got dye on him.

Only Ms. Zhang

knows how to make this dye.

It’s the only one in the city.

The materials for this dye

are extracted from petals.

The flowers in the garden

are usually

taken care of by Ms. Zhang.

It takes so much effort.

It must be expensive.

You may not know.

Some colours

don't belong to ordinary people.

People are classified into different social classes in the Ming dynasty.

Each class wears a different colour.

I heard you had been attacked,

so I came to see you.

I'm fine.

Please leave.

This has something to do with the Night Scout.

I have a few questions for you.

I have a few more questions for you.

Why were your men nearby

when I was attacked?

Did you send someone to follow me?

Yes.

I asked an Investigation Bureau's officer to follow you.

There was no evidence. I just had a gut feeling.

If

I offended you,

I apologise.

I answered

your question.

Can I get in now?

No.

If you enter my room late at night,

it will damage my reputation.

Well...

I'll ask here.

No.

Then I'll lose the courtesy to treat guests.

You can come back tomorrow morning.

Okay.

I'll wait here.

The Night Scout might come again.

It's not safe here.

You should come with me.

Where?

The Investigation Bureau?

If we go to the government office,

do you want to arrest the Night Scout

or me, the descendant of a rebellious official?

Not the government office.

It's a place where the Night Scout can't find.

If it's about business,

I'm afraid there's no such rule in the Brocade-clad Guard.

If it's personal,

we only meet by chance,

I don't want you to take risks for me.

I don't want to owe you.

Ms. Zhang, you worry too much.

I just want to

use you as a bait

to catch the Night Scout.

If you take me to a place where the Night Scout can't find,

how can they come?

The how can you catch them?

Lord Lu, I appreciate your kindness.

If there's nothing else,

please leave.

Ms. Zhang, since you ordered me to leave,

I'm afraid I have to leave.

Someone is upstairs.

You don't see me out?

Brocade-clad Guard!

Let her stay.

You can leave.

You used me on purpose?

Go!

Go ashore.

Walk along the bank.

There's an old house

in Longpan.

No one can find it.

I'll distract them.

Let's go.

Where is here?

My home.

In the fourth year of Hongwu,

the dew was clear in the autumn.

Amazing.

There was a batch of Immortals Drunk Wine

sent from Beijing last month.

Give it to me.

Heroine,

you want to drink?

I'm afraid it'll affect your business

if you drink too much.

I quit drinking.

I won't drink.

You drink.

No, I dare not.

With good alcohol,

dying here

is not a bad choice.

Keep drinking.

The essence of the sun and the moon from the past 30 years,

winds and clouds,

and all the history

have turned into liquor

in this pot.

It is so precious.

Only His Majesty can drink it.

Of course, a great hero like you can also drink it.

I'm flattered.

I dare not drink anymore.

If you drink another half pot,

you'll dare to do anything.

This is not your first time

killing someone, right?

There was a Night Scout

wearing a ghost mask

killed Wang Kegong in front of me.

I was shocked.

Later, I killed

that ghost-masked Night Scout.

That was my first time killing someone.

I was taking care of Li Dongfang these days.

He was in a deep sleep,

but I didn't sleep

for three days in a row.

You can sleep here tonight.

I'll keep a lookout for you tonight.

Did I ask you to drink poison?

It's a waste to drink like this.

Alright.

I...

To be honest,
