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

You have been in the Imperial Prison?

Do you dare to take revenge?

What's your name?

Zhang Junqing.

The only sin in this world

is being weak.

The only kind of justice

is strength.

Take this sword

and wipe out evil.

It reeks of medicinal herbs.

Are you injured?

Where is the Yuming Lock?

Ma'am, spare my life!

Ma'am, spare my life.

Ma'am.

Ma'am, spare my life.

Congratulations, Detective Lu.

The case is closed.

After signing the documents,

I'll give you the main credit.

Lu Zheng of the Brocade-clad Guards found out

the deputy commander of the Jinan Brocade-clad Guards,

Wang Kegong, colluded with Yan.

Lu Zheng killed the rebel.

Wang Kegong is a rebel.

Detective Lu killed the rebel

and exposed his conspiracy.

You have made a great contribution.

Wang Kegong is a rebel?

We found the memorial tablet

of sinner Song Heming in Wang Kegong's mansion.

You are still young so you may not know.

On April 25, the 25th year of Hong Wu's reign.

The sinner, Song Heming,

colluded with the rebels

and released a death row prisoner in the imperial prison.

He was executed on the spot.

A slip of thought

ruined his family and his reputation.

Wang Kegong

hid Song Heming's memorial tablet.

That is an act of rebellion.

You're still young.

You have a bright future.

Don't

make the wrong choice.

I didn't kill Lord Wang.

He's not a rebel either.

Your Excellency.

Your Excellency.

How cruel.

He's obviously adopted

and not his biological son.

Have we

met before?

The fortune-teller said

you're my jinx.

Li Dongfang.

You've been in the imperial prison.

You want us to help you

destroy the files in the file storeroom.

Without the record,

you can run away.

Am I right, Li Wu?

I want the Night Scouts

to help me steal something from the file storeroom

of the Brocade-clad Guards.

What is it?

Can you do it?

Of course.

But I never make deals.

Do you know why I brought you here?

Yuming Lock?

It's in Mount Guanyin.

I'll take you there now.

No hurry.

We are destined to meet.

I should treat you to a meal.

My lord, your food.

Thank you.

Eat.

How can I eat without using hands?

Bend down.

Eat with your mouth.

Don't stop me.

I...

I'll kill this little bastard.

Uncle Wang.

Don't stop me.

Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang.

What are you doing, Uncle Wang?

I'll beat you to death!

My lord,

don't stop me.

Today,

I will punish you on behalf of heaven.

Uncle Wang.

Enough.

Sir.

Are you his father?

My lord.

I...

I'm his neighbor.

Could it be...

his neighbor is his father?

No.

He is also a poor kid.

He has no parents.

He grew up begging from different families.

How could he

not go down the wrong path?

My lord,

I can tell

you are a good person.

I beg you,

please be lenient.

Please be lenient

and spare him this time.

Get lost!

Get lost!

Get out!

Mind your own business.

Go away! -What

are you doing?

Get lost!

Li Wu

did nothing wrong.

Not only that,

he also helped us

resolve a big case.

Really?

To reward him,

I'm treating him to dinner.

That's great.

I have a jar of sunset wine

which I stored for 40 years.

Let's open it today.

Meng.

Get the wine.

Okay.

Serve the dishes.

This sunset wine

is well-aged.

Li Wu.

You must keep your promise.

Otherwise, the neighbors who care about you

will be very sad.

That's right.

Come on.

Here.

Eat.

Eat.

Okay, let's eat.

Eat up.

Eat up.

Eat.

This Yuming Lock

is not something you ordinary people should touch.

When the sun rises tomorrow,

if I can't see the Yuming Lock at Mount Guanyin,

other people will come to drink with them.

Aunt Li, don't just eat vegetables.

Have some meat, Uncle Wang.

Get lost.

Eat more.

How does it taste?

Good.

Meng's cooking is amazing.

Eat.

Bottoms up.

Uncle Wang.

Play a song.

Yes.

My lord should play.

My lord, please play it.

Yes.

Have a seat.

Li Wu and Colonel Li

are eating at a stall in Ji'e Alley.

Which Colonel Li?

Li Dongfang.

It's been five years.

I didn't expect him to come to the capital too.

Is Li Wu

Li Dongfang's man?

No.

What should we do with him?

He must pay the price for taking something

he shouldn't have taken.
