Joy of Life (庆余年)

Have you ever heard about that

the cliff of a snow mountain

once fascinated numerous people?

Legend has it that,

there were treasures at the peak

but also there was a bottomless chasm hidden over there.

The smart, the fool

and the kind people,

all are familiar to you.

On the mountainside, on the cliff,

on the cloud,

and in the human world,

snowflakes are drifting profusely and disorderly.

Joy of Life Season 1

Episode 25

What are you looking at?

Look at that cloud!

You're so relaxed and carefree today.

Doesn't it look like a pile of silver?

That's definitely your style.

What if

I took all the silver back?

How happy my wife and daughter

would be!

Are we going back to the Fan mansion?

Wang Qinian,

have you ever heard of Zhuang Mohan?

I have.

He arrived in the capital city today.

All the scholars in the capital city

went to pay respects to him.

He's so respected!

It's known to all the scholars that

Zhuang Mohan is a literary giant,

a living saint

in the world,

and the teacher to all scholars.

Don't you know that?

Aren't you a scholar, too?

I'm not.

You're so modest.

You've written poems

with universal praise.

You're definitely a scholar!

Let's go.

What's up?

Master Shadow.

=Shadow, Director of the Sixth Division= Master Shadow.

=Shadow, Director of the Sixth Division of the Nanqing Investigator's Office=

Does Chen Pingping have anything for me?

Someone wants to kill the Head.

In the world,

a lot of people want to kill him.

They will attack in less than an hour.

Where is he?

In the Investigator's Office.

Then he'll be fine.

Without massive forces,

no one can break into the Investigator's Office to kill him.

Now no one

is protecting the Head.

What do you mean?

Zhuang Mohan has arrived in the capital city.

How is Zhuang Mohan

relevant to this?

Zhuang Mohan's arrival

leads to the change.

Everyone in the Investigator's Office knows that

the only way to restart the war

is to assassinate Zhuang Mohan.

But the Head has sent the First Division

to protect Zhuang Mohan.

Right.

Zhu Ge from the First Division

has led all his men out.

Fei Jie from the Third Division is not in the capital city.

Martial arts masters from other divisions

have been sent out by me respectively.

Today, all the officials inside

the Investigator's Office are on our side.

Even so, we don't have enough men

to kill Zhuang Mohan.

Zhuang Mohan is just a cover.

The person we're really going to kill

is Chen Pingping.

You're here.

We have no way out.

Let's go to the dungeon.

You all know that

Chen Pingping is the person

preventing us from restarting the war

in the Investigator's Office.

If he dies,

the Investigator's Office will be controlled

by loyal people like us.

By then, it will be very easy

to motivate His Majesty

to destroy Beiqi.

He's also a man.

I've exhausted my abilities

to create a favorable situation for us.

If we don't kill him today, we won't have a second chance.

Kill Chen Pingping! Kill Chen Pingping!

Kill Chen Pingping!

Once Chen Pingping is killed,

the Investigator's Office

will be controlled by us.

What's done is done.

There's no way back.

Let's do it!

Kill Chen Pingping! Kill Chen Pingping!

Kill Chen Pingping!

Mr. Fan?

Miss Lili, let's talk later.

We're being hunted.

Hunted?

Press that.

It leads to

the deepest part of the dungeon,

where the most vicious villains

are locked up inside.

Let's get inside first.

Are we safe here?

Not really.

Many people know this path.

They usually deliver water

and food to the prisoners.

Sometimes,

they have to pull out the bodies.

Then what's the point of hiding here?

It's narrow inside. Maybe we can resist them for a while.

Then we'll have to die sooner or later.

It's a dead end.

This is terrible!

I can't die.

I haven't told my wife yet.

If I die without her permission,

she will definitely be angry.

We're in great danger,

yet you're afraid your wife might be angry.

Life or death, it doesn't matter.

What really matters is whether I've gained permission from my wife or not.

You don't understand.

What will happen to Si Lili outside?

They want to kill me.

They won't leave anyone alive.

Give me the key to her cell.

You can't even protect yourself. Why care about others?

The key!

Wait a minute.

He's a good lad.

What's the sound?

What's the sound?

Is there an internal strife in the Investigator's Office?

Why do you save me?

Hurry up!

They could rush in any minute.

Kill Chen Pingping! Kill Chen Pingping!

Kill Chen Pingping!

Kill him!

What's the point of

bringing me here?

I still have to die.

I've promised you to protect you.

Even if you have to die,

you must die after me.

Go inside.

Your Excellency.

What's this?

I've told you about

the prisoners locked up here.

The most vicious villains?

Right.

One of them is still alive.

So many chains are used to lock up only one person?

Yes, only one.

Will your life be saved after looking at him?

This way.

He's not here.

Hurry up and find Chen Pingping!

He's not here.

No, He's not here. He's not here.

He's not here.

Where is he?

Go inside and find him!

He's not here.

Wait a moment!

I'm going to die.

Can I at least satisfy

my curiosity?

Is he really dangerous?

Indeed!

His name is Xiao En.

I was paralyzed because of him.

Chen Pingping is inside.

He has no way to go.

Kill him! -Come on!

Kill him!

Kill him! -Kill Chen Pingping!

They've opened the door
