Border Town Prodigal

Episode 5

You all are so useless! Why didn't you stop them?

Black sand storm arrived. Even the horses would not dare to move, we really could not do anything.

Fu Hongxue is my slave. If he needs to die, he has to be killed by me! Get out of here!

Yes!

Quick!

Fu Hongxue, you bad horse slave!

I will not allow you to die. You have to survive!

Black sand storm has passed.

Hair pin! My hair pin!

You are awake.

Where is Fu Hongxue?

He sent you back here then he left.

Where did he go?

Maybe he had something important to take care of.

He did not have time to rest and rushed into the town.

Don't worry! Jinmao and others are watching him.

My Ten Thousand Horse token!

Don't bother! Jinmao has already taken it away.

What on earth happened to you recently?

Don't you feel that you haven't acted like yourself recently?

You already shirked your duty, but now you still want to get the Ten Thousand Horse token back.

You also released an important prisoner from Ten Thousand Horse Hall all by yourself.

What exactly do you think you are doing?

I only want to invetigate if there is anybody else working with Fu Hongxue.

Have you found anything?

Not yet.

Does Fu Hongxue know your true identity?

No.

I don't care what you want to do or what your purpose is.

Currently, in the eyes of Jinmao and the others,

you are showing bias in favor of Fu Hongxue.

He is the enemy of Ten Thousand Horse Hall. I will never be biased in favor of him.

Good that you understand. They took weapons with them when they left.

They will kill Fu Hongxue when they have a chance.

What? Fu Hongxue is still alive?

Yes! Our people found him at the border town.

He? What did he look like?

He looked like that he got some scratches but nothing serious.

That's great!

What I mean is that we can not let a serious criminal like him be free.

I will find some people with good martial arts to bring him here,

Prepare my horse and I will go in person!

Yes!

My lady!

My lady!

My lady, I made some sweet wine for you. Come and have a taste!

How come you suddenly became so nice as to make sweet wine for me?

I saw that you lost sleep and had lots of dreams last night.

I specially asked the chef to make the swine wine with Astragalus and Lily to calm you down.

How did you know that I did not sleep well last night?

About that, my lady,

I see that the areas below your eyes fall inward. Even though you put on makeup,

I can see that you have black eyes. That means that your chi is not balanced.

And you didn't have enough sleep.

And I see that your eyelids are trembling when you look down.

It means that you are panicky and not at peace.

My lady, didn't you lose sleep last night?

I did not know that Mr. MuRong is half of a doctor.You are pretty good.

My lady, I think you have already half recovered.

I don't think you need this medicine anymore.

Why?

To untie the bell one needs to find the person who tied the bell on first. An emotional sickness needs emotional medicine.

You have an emotional sickness due to that horse slave, Fu Hongxue.

Now that you know he is safe. You are not worried anymore so your sickness is recovering naturally.

Did you eavesdrop on me?

When I brought the sweet wine to you just now, I accidentally heard it.

It is rare to see you so happy.

That Fu Hongxue is the serious criminal from Ten Thousand Horse Hall.

The serious criminal escaped from Ten Thousand Horse Hall and now we captured him. Of course I am happy.

My lady, I don't know if I should tell you something.

Go ahead!

Regarding Fu Hongxue, I think that

we should let him go instead of bringing him back here again.

Why?

Number one, it can be a reward to thank him for saving you in the Sea of Quicksand.

Number 2, let him leave and stay away from the border town. There will be less threat to Ten Thousand Horse Hall.

Number 3, you are the future leader of the Ten Thousand Horse Hall.

This will be the best chance to show that Ten Thousand Horse Hall is lenient to others.

Why do you always help that horse slave?

I am thinking that our wedding is coming up soon.

We should do something good in order to get some good rewards.

You know, all the emperors in history pardon all the criminals during their weddings.

Ten Thousand Horse Hall is like the emperor in the martial arts world so we should pardon him too.

Even if I release all the horse slaves, I would not release him.

Let's go!

Fu Hongxue is very skilled in martial arts. If we attack him right up front,

we are not good enough to defeat him. Now is the time to use the Moon Chasing Curved Bow.

Moon Chasing Curved Bow?

Once we release the Moon Chasing Curved Bow within the distance of 300 steps,

nobody can escape it.

This Moon Chasing Curved Bow seems to be in the room of Xiao Bieli.

Let's go back to get the Moon Chasing Curved Bow.

You stay here to follow him. Don't let him escape.

Wait for us to come back and contact us with secret marks.

Don't worry.

Fu Hongxue, we will not let you go this time.

What is he doing here? Is he waiting for somebody?

Timing & subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki

Where's Fu Hongxue? - I lost his tracks.

How could this happen?

I'm not sure what happened, but I fell asleep.

When I woke up he was gone.

Then did he meet anyone?

Not that I saw.

Jinmao, we've found Fu Hongxue!

Let's go, take us to him.

Where is he?

Over there. -Move over.

Fu Hongxue, go to hell.

Don't fire.

Cui Nong? What are you here for?

Before we've figured out his true identity, you can't kill him.

We already know exactly who he is.

He's an assassin trying to infiltrate Ten Thousand Horse Hall.

If you act recklessly now, Ten Thousand Horse Hall will only be in more danger later on.

You are no longer Ten Thousand Horse Hall's spy.

The Ten Thousand Horse Token is in my hands now. You have no right to talk like that.

Immobilize her!

What are you doing? I've done everything for the sake of Ten Thousand Horses Hall.

You're doing this for the sake of Fu Hongxue.

From what I see you've fallen for Fu Hongxue,

am I right? - Jinmao, what nonsense are you spewing?

Jinmao.

Get out of the way!

Why did Lady Ma come? - Someone must have told her Fu Hongxue was here.

Not good.

If he gets taken back to Ten Thousand Horse Hall we'll never have another opportunity to kill him.

Even though the Monkey King could somersault across 108,000 miles in an instant,

could he still escape Buddha's palm? (Monkey King - mythological creature in "Journey to the West")

Fu Hongxue, I want you to be my slave for life.

Lady Ma really intends to bring him back to Ten Thousand Horse Hall.

I understand now, Fu Hongxue's purpose in coming to Border Town

was to let Lady Ma know that he was here

and bring him back to Ten Thousand Horse Hall. - I heard that after his last escape,

the number of guards stationed at the cells was tripled.

If he manages to escape again,

we will probably never be able to act against him.

If he really plans to assassinate Ma Kongqun,

we might still make it if we act now.

We can't, with Lady Ma right next to him, she could get hit by crossfire.

What do we do? How do we stop him?

Let me go try.

You?

No matter how we want to deal with Fu Hongxue,

if we let the cat out too soon, our efforts will be wasted.

Let her go.

Cui Nong?

Halt!

Follow him, quickly!

What do we do?

Follow them. Let's go.

Cui Nong, do you really know where to find Ma Kongqun?

I usually like to joke around,

but in front of a threat relating to Ten Thousand Horse Hall I am very serious.

How do you know where he is?

Nameless Pavilion must be passed to get to Ten Thousand Horse Hall,

not only is it a drinking and entertainment establishment,

it is the hub for information exchange.

I'm there everyday so I hear things occasionally.

Then where is he?

I know you want to know where Ma Kongqun is,

but I never operate at a loss.

If you have something to buy, then you should have something to sell.

Tell me what I want to know.

What do you want to know?

What is your background?

I have answered that question many times already.

But not once have I been satisfied with the response.

A satisfactory answer would not be a good thing for you.

Fine, I have 3 questions. If you can answer truthfully,

I will tell you where Ma Kongqun is right now.

Ask.

Are you a member of the Demon Sect?

Tell me.

Yes.

Then, where is your cohort?

I am the sole survivor of the Demon Sect.

So he is the Demon Sect expert that Yinhu told us about.

He is alone? Then we have no need to hold back.

We'll kill him today.

You have one last question, ask well.

What do you think of me as a woman?

Tell me.

You are a kind-hearted woman. This place doesn't suit you.

You should leave immediately.

Not only is Ma Kongqun's own skills very strong,

he has many experts around him as bodyguards.

If you go, it is unlikely you will return.

I never planned to return.

With that done, you should tell me what it is I want to know.

Come back with me to Nameless Pavilion,

you are currently weaponless. I'll prepare something for you

and send you off.

Let's follow.
