The King of Blaze (Huo Wang Zhi Po Xiao Zhi Zhan / 火王之破晓之战)

~ Episode 8 ~

Princess!

Princess!

Greetings, Crown Prince.

Why aren't you waiting on the Princess? What are you doing here at the Imperial Lake?

Your Highness Crown Prince,

Princess...Princess is missing again!

Go search for her quickly!

Your Highness, please don't be angry.

I already asked the guards to look for her, but—

Royal Brother.

Why do you have time today to come to the Imperial Lake?

You've made this special trip here to see me?

Princess, Your Highness Crown Prince couldn't find you and became very worried.

Royal Brother, I'm very bored staying in the palace today.

Therefore, I would like to sneak out and wander around.

You—

Leave, all of you.

Yes.

It hurts! It hurts!

You...aching, right?

As a girl, why don't you stay in your Cold Singer Palace and do what a girl should be doing?

But instead, you just cause confusion in the palace and drive everyone crazy.

Royal Brother,

you don't understand, I stay in the Cold Singer Palace all day long.

I feel like passing a day as if it were a year.

You and Queen Mother are busy with the imperial affairs and have neglected me.

Therefore, I just want to go out to have some fun.

Want to have fun! You, so talky!

Fine, I'll find more time to come see you hereafter.

But your affairs are still more important.

Actually, I found something fun in the palace today.

It's certainly good that you found something fun.

But don't pull the missing stunt again.

I know, Older Brother.

After everything that happened, I'm hungry.

How about you join me for a meal?

We'll see how you behave.

Publicly pulling prank on Crown Prince is against the protocol.

- Freeze! - Are you coming after me?

When you catch the food thief, beat him to death!

I definitely saw him running in that direction just now.

Let's go!

How cruel.

Where's that little palace maid?

I was already beaten so badly. I wonder how she's doing.

Why am I such a glutton?

This won't do. I have to look for her.

There's poison in the blood.

This is the same poison Haoyue had.

Save me. Save me.

Hurry!

Here's your sword.

These are all government weapons.

Sir, who are these people?

How dare they to steal the government's weapons.

Sir, I found a secret room nearby with a cache of weapons.

There's a large number of weapons hidden in there too.

This is not a regular abandon village.

It's a secret weapon armory.

Armory?

If it's an armory, why should it be a secret?

Did you notice anything?

I found in a house a great many corpses with horrendous death.

Sir! Sir!

What has made you anxious?

At the edge of village, we found a gigantic natural cave.

It's extremely deep. We don't where it goes to.

Please investigate with us, sir.

Let's go.

Men! Go down and search.

Wait. It might be a trap.

Zhongtian and I almost had an accident. It's better to be careful.

Could it be another trap?

- Be careful! - Zhongtian! Are you crazy?

There is no corpse in the cave.

The walls show mark of carving and dragging.

It looks like this place was once hiding something.

And it's very big.

This marking suggests that items were being pulled.

It seems like Gao Chen was right.

Crown Garment Cult was here.

Send people to get some rope.

Yes, Sir!

Zhongtian! Climb up carefully. It's dangerous down there!

Don't worry.

Why did you come down? It's dangerous here.

So you do know that it's dangerous.

Since you didn't want to go back, I had to come down here with you.

Fine. Come take a look.

Gao Chen was right.

Crow Garment Cult was here.

What do they have in the village...

to attract the cult here?

They even killed the villagers for it.

I think I found the reason why.

Meteor iron?

You can't even do something this small.

What can I use you for?

Please forgive me and spare my life, Empress.

I deserve to die.

Didn't expect these Jianghu assassins

were so useless, no one came back alive.

But the latest news from the spy I arranged at the Court of Judicial Review,

saying that Situ Fengjian and Chu Yuanzhi are investigating the abandoned village.

Seems like they have found something.

Seems like I have underestimated these two people.

They are going against me.

I don't need to teach you what to do next.

Don't worry, Empress. I'll find an opportunity

to solve this perfectly.

Go.

You don't need to come see me if you can't solve this. Go kill yourself.

I won't fail you.

Wait.

I've thought of one thing.

The general, Li Jingzhong, who guarded the Imperial Jade Pass before,

reinstate him to his position immediately. The ambassador Tu Le will be here soon.

I need someone who know the Imperial Jade Pass well to report back to me.

I understand. I will do it.

I will take my leave now.

Officials, why do you all three of you look so serious?

Do you know why

i chose Gold and Silver Villa to discuss our strategies?

Of course is to cover-up our acts.

Although we didn't know each other for too long,

I kind of know your personality, Official Chu.

You always want to steal the thunder, show off your abilities.

No matter big or small, you always want to get the attention.

Now you are keeping a low profile,

it doesn't suit your style at all.

Let me ask the person whom all three of you fear,

who is it? I am very curious.

Let me say it.

The forensic pathologist just examined the corpses. There were two types.

The type in black clothes were the well-trained Jianghu assassins.

Other villagers were all fake.

Their true identities were all current soldiers.

Assassins and soldiers?

Correct.

Assuming the assassins were coming to kill the soldiers,

how about the other group? Were they coming to grab the meteorite?

Those from the Crow Garment Cult.

The assassins only knew to kill those who appeared at the abandoned village.

When they started to kill, they bumped into the Crow Garment Cult people.

The assassins of course would go forward.

But finally they were all destroyed by the Crow Garment Cult people.

Then, there is no more question on the Crow Garment Cult.

However, you still don't need to hide at my villa.

So, the question is the person who sent the assassins,

also who established the military base. Who is he?

This person is the Head of the Secretariat of the Imperial Censor,

the Duke of the He Jian County, Li Yifu.

So they have four people.

What?

Didn't you said the Head of the Secretariat,

the Imperial Censor, the Duke of the He Jian County,

And a person called Li Yifu, then four people.

How did you count like that? They are the same person.

Where did you come from? How come you didn't know this?

One person?

Right.

It's one person.

Really?

Zhongtian, you are too funny, how can it be so interesting?

Zhongtian, if you are like this again, I really don't want to kill you.

Official Chu, please watch your language.

Zhongtian came from the Western Regions.

It's normal that he doesn't know much about the Imperial Court.

My apology.

So, what's so scary about this Li Yifu person?

The scary one is not Li Yifu.

It is the person behind him.

She is the woman who is second to the Emperor.

The Empress.

The Empress?

Qi Le, in the last couple days, people from the Astrological Bureau and the Court of Judicial Review

are all here to see Big Brother Zhongtian, is something big happened?

For sure not something good.

I was being nice and brought them some tea, and asked them what they wanted for lunch.

Didn't expect that I was chased out by Official Chu.

For sure, nothing good from those three people.

But how come Big Brother Zhongtian is related to the officials?

Seems like what going on is really serious.

That Zhongtian, everyday is a mess, makes us panic.

Why do you always pick on Big Brother Zhongtian?

Qianqian, show me the best piece of jewellery from here.

You brat. It's bad enough that you're always out there stealing.

And now you are even casting your eyes on your own shop.

What? You think you're independent now? Ready to fly off?

I am now an official and proper Jin Wu Guard. I am quite well to do.

Bring out your best goods.

Don't leave a cent of this money.

You are a man of the world. Why are you buying jewelry out of the blue?

I'm telling you guys.

I found that girl I rescued that time.

Don't you think that it's such a coincident? She is a maid-in-waiting in the Palace.

I think that it is a good day today. Isn't it the Kite Festival today?
