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

Who is the one using the Book of Mottos

to keep in touch with the Night Scouts?

My lord,

this book was written

by the Imperial Prison guard, Sergeant Chen Jizhen,

to contact the Night Scouts during Hongwu's reign.

You mean the guy whose hand

was cut off by Song Heming during Hongwu's reign.

That Chen Jizhen?

The Investigation Bureau ordered Chen Jizhen

to guard that abandoned imperial prison.

Although Chen Jizhen is on duty,

he's just like a prisoner.

That's why he hated Lu Yulin and his son who was in power.

Li Wu dared to replace Li Dongfang

and work at the Investigation Bureau.

Who does he work for?

Li Wu

is not working for Lu Yulin.

Otherwise, the Yuming Lock

should be in Lu Yulin's hands.

Li Wu was in the imperial prison during Hongwu's reign.

He took the risk in order to

destroy the files in the file storeroom.

Seems like he's not working for anyone.

Since Chen Jizhen

has gotten his case file,

I think

this person might be useful.

How?

There's a batch of goods that needs to be transported to Beijing at the water port.

The provisions stated on the document

are actually weapons for the King of Yan's army.

Director Cao of the Ministry of War is in charge.

We can find a chance

to let Chen Jizhen tell Li Wu about this.

Those hiding the truth

will be punished as an accomplice.

Do you know him?

I do.

Tell me.

Who is he?

He...

He is Li...

Li Dongfang.

Lord Li.

This...

This...

Mei Dou.

Mei Dou.

This...

Mei Dou.

Mei Dou!

Mei Dou!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Lu Zheng!

Mei Dou!

Open the door. Mei Dou!

Open the door, Lu Zheng!

Open the door!

Mei Dou!

Open the door.

Mei Dou!

Open the door!

Lu Zheng!

Open the door!

Are you a human?

He confessed.

Kids

can't stand severe torture.

If you told the truth earlier,

everything would be fine.

No.

You're not that kind of person.

Mei Dou.

Mei Dou, come here.

Mei Dou, are you okay?

I don't know

why you insist on finding the case file

of Li Wu in the file storeroom.

But I...

am not the Li Wu you're looking for.

Why is he looking for Li Wu?

Let's go.

Let's go.

Hurry.

Hurry!

Hurry!

Lord Li,

I've been waiting for you.

Are you going to the file storeroom?

No.

I was just passing by.

Wait, my lord.

The key in your hand

is a token.

A token that prevents phantoms

guarding the Imperial Prison like us

from hurting you by mistake.

Phantoms.

Do you remember

what happened on April 25

in the 25th year of Hongwu's reign?

And why Li Wu's files

are missing from the file storeroom?

Song Heming.

What are you doing?

I beg all of you

to spare my son.

How dare you release the son of a sinner?

I, Song Heming,

am willing to be executed.

In the 25th year of Hongwu's reign,

April 25.

Sergeant

Song Heming

colluded with the rebels

and released the death row prisoner.

One.

Two.

Three.

Don't come over!

Don't come over!

Run!

Go!

Dad!

Run!

Why are the shoes broken?

Why are they missing again?

Shu Tang.

Forget it. I have to go.

Fly!

Fly!

Come down.

Come down.

We'll be in trouble if someone sees us.

Fly!

Come down!

Come down!

Come down!

If you force me to be a wife again,

I'll kill you.

Where is my money?

Precious horses,

expensive fur.

Used to exchange for good liquor.

Our sorrows ease as we drink together.

The case file is gone.

The money is gone.

My wife has gone crazy.

I'm not your wife.

I already left a secret code

at the Court Entertainment Bureau

to meet Li Dongfang.

I want to ask him

why he chose a loser like you.

Go!

Let us go, my lord.

My lord, please spare me.

Please spare me.

My lord.

Go!

Hurry!

Sir, please spare my life.

Follow me.

This tea is very fresh.

It's called Sparrow's Tongue.

The Deputy Commander prepared for you.

He also asked me

to use this jade pot and

gold bowl to brew it.

The deputy commander is considerate.

Lord Lu

is appointed by His Majesty to be in charge of the rebels' case.

A stroke your golden brush

reached the Emperor

and ended these rebels.

Lord Lu personally led the army to escort the rebels.

The Deputy Commander was so happy when

he heard the news, that he forgot to wear his shoes.

As a common person,

one must recognize the trends.

A wise man

submits to circumstances.

A golden bowl and jade pot.

I'll let you have diarrhea tonight.

My lord, have some tea.

Wang,

how long have you been a Brocade-clad Guard?

My lord,

I've been a Detective for three years.

I've given a lot of money to the Deputy Commander.

But I can't get promoted.

If you give me a hand,

I will do my best.

Do you know why you can't get promoted?

My lord, please tell me.

Because the Deputy Commander

can't get promoted.
