Bloody Romance (Mei Zhe Wu Jiang / 媚者无疆)

Get up please

I did nothing wrong

You said what matters the most is the result rather than the favor

She took care of everything back at the mansion of Prince's supervior

I own her more than just a favor

She is protected by Jiu Ming and won't die easily

She's the best choice to spread the virus of poisonous insect

Prince, we don't have a choice

Please say yes

Wan Mei is already a walking dead

What is Prince concerned about?

My concern?

I'm going to find out the cure for her

Bring her to me when you're done

Twenty years ago, South Xin Jiang was de facto controlled by Ding Shan Group

And Blood Lotus Cult was originated from Ding Shan Group but growing with ambition to replace Ding Shan Group

Yue Qingya, once a normal believer of Blood Lotus Cult, jockeyed for the leadership of Blood Lotus Cult

He spread the virus of poisonous insect in town which killed dozens of innocence

And then he took the cure and used his own blood to cure others from door to door

so to make others believe that Blood Lotus Cult was sent to save them from their sins

Later, he managed to defeat Ding Shan Group by the growing power of Blood Lotus Cult in South Xin Jiang

Honestly, I hate him, but I also admire his way of getting things done

He could claim the leadership of Blood Lotus Cult by this way

So could you

I'm afraid of lacking such kind of courage and boldness

Yue Qingya also excels at knowing and using people

After consolidating his power in Blood Lotus Cult, he supported Lan Ruo, his right hand, to be the leadership

Lan Ruo is kind and thoughtful, and hereby further develops Blood Lotus Cult

Lan Ruo is to Yue Qingya what you are to me

If you fail to finish the mission, you should kill Lan Ruo at the least

Here's the cure made by the poisonous insect from the Xuan Ji Palace of South Xin Jiang

The cure is highly important to our plan

So you have to take care of it, alright?

I will

Now we're far away from Gui Hua City

You may take off your mask

I know it's you

If you ever think that I'm not qualified to be Jue Sha, then you're wrong

You ain't fool me by this little trick

What do you want?

You did go to prison to save someone, didn't you?

Yes. So what?

I just wanna know where Wan Mei is and whether she's still alive

Why on earth would you think that I have answers to your questions?

I was always thinking you would go save her yourself

The quality of today's incense is not bad, layered lingered and attractive

Is it from Wan Xiang?

That's right

I knew it

She's been arousing our attention quiet often lately

Wan Xiang has always taken Wan Mei as her competent

and now that Wan Mei is away, she would make use of this chance to seek for promotion without question

Well, I don't mind if she's the best

Considering she's still fresh in Gui Hua City, send Qian Ting to find out more intel on her

Understood

Hmm. Anything else?

There's a message from Yue Qingya

He blamed you for letting go of Yue Ying

Well, he didn't pay me to risk my life for keeping Yue Ying here

Speaking of it, I should be the one that watched and did nothing, not him

That's true

By the way, the Tian Sha who should have stopped Yue Ying doesn't seem to be as good as before

I'd like to send another task to test her edge

If she becomes useless...

She's getting old

That's why she shouldn't be occupying the goddamn position and not working

What's the blind man of Ting Zhou House up to lately?

Today he went to the palace to enjoy the Chinese zeither

Excuse me?

I guess we should get something done

My brother, how about this song?

Not bad

It sounds genial and euphemistic melodious

Glad to know that

It's just the beginning

There follows something even better

My Lord, why is the Prince's supervisor not here today?

Supervisor Yue has left for the border areas to deal with some military affairs

He's been busy dealing with all kinds of challenges for my Lord

It's indeed not easy at all

I treat it fairly for his contribution by awarding him with the Golden purple ribbon

You're right. He's just doing his own job

Alright, let's forget him

Eunuch Yu, is everything ready?

Yes, my Lord

Then let her in

Let her in

Who's it?

Who's it?

An instrument player coming from afar

Do you know the great general of Da Liang called Qi Wei?

Yes

We were engaged for a few times before I was blind

But he wasn't a general back then

And it never occurs to me that such a powerful man could play zeither

My brother, you must be joking

How could be possible for the Great General to plays the zeither?

Recently, he sent a message to Taifu with the intention of surrendering

This is a good news

The Prince's supervisor must have been working hard on it

I would say that's because he is in awe of Tang Dynasty's power

It has a power to drive people to pledge allegiance

My Lord, I can't agree more

To show his sincerity, Qi Wei sent Jiu Xiao jade pendant as tribute and a beauty to play zeither

What a treasure the Jiu Xiao jade pendant is!

It seems General Qi does show his good faith

My brother, when it comes to music, you know the best

So I'd like to have you here to enjoy the music with me

You gotta enjoy the music

Meanwhile, I will enjoy the company of the beauty

Thank you, my Lord

My brother, she's indeed a beauty with fair skin and soft eyes

Where's the security?

Oh my Lord

My Lord

My brother, are you alright?

Thank you, I'm fine

No big deal

What matters more is that what Qi Wei is conspiring by claiming to pledge allegiance

My Lord, please think twice

Eunuch Yu

Yes

Ask Prince's supervisor to come see me now

My Lord, it may be too late

I'm afraid the supervisor already left the town

Then send someone to get him back immediately

Yes, my Lord

My brother

As expected, the Prince sent people to kill the instrument player

and replace with another one as soon as he got the information about the traitor in Liang's army

Wonderful

He could help contain Supervisor Yue and hereby save us some trouble by offering updates on the blind man

Chief, you're so smart

Well, it's credited to you

Anyway, may I have the green bean soup with lily now?

Sure. I'll go get it for you

Well, when you come back, you are going to feed me

I'll be enjoying it while waiting for the funny news from the loser Yue Qingya

Supervisor Yue, anything you care to explain?

It must be a mistake

Please allow me to conduct a thorough investigation and see what's wrong with it

Something must be wrong

The zeither thing is wrong

The instrument player is wrong

Qi Wei's pledge to allegiance must be wrong

My Lord, may I have a word?

Whether Qi Wei is to pledge allegiance or not needs to be confirmed

It's too early to say that it's a plot

Seriously?

I'm be long gone if my brother weren't be here to protect me

My Lord, you are and will always be protected by all gods

My Lord, Supervisor Yue has always cautious with everything

Shall we see what his plan is first?

Since King Ning gives you some credits, you may share your plan now

Rise

Yes, my Lord

According to the intel, Qi Wei is coming over as planned

and now he has arrived at the meeting point that we agreed before

If his allegiance was unfaithful and merely a cover-up for the assassination

why did he come as promised?

Assuming that Qi Wei didn't know about the assassination and was turned down for it

We might lose such a great general

And more importantly, we would have the one who plotted this triumphed with proud

I see

Now please tell me, if Qi Wei comes to pledge allegiance, should I accept it or not?

Ummm...

My Lord, no matter what Qi Wei's true attention is, it's better to turn him down

That's the best choice that we can make

My Lord, I'm afraid that's not

It's well-know that Qi Wei comes to pledge allegiance

If he's turned down, who else would like to do so from then on?

However, it's too dangerous to take him in

If it's a trap and my Lord still shows warm welcome to Qi Wei

it may arouse concern among the top civil and military officials

Then I shall not accept Qi's allegiance

My Lord, I'd like to make sure that nothing would go wrong

Supervisor Yue, why would you insist doing it?

I'd rather risk my life than losing such a great general for my Lord

My Lord

May I suggest that King Ning should go accept Qi's allegiance with me rather than just doing all the talking here?

How would a blind man like me would help?

Although King Ning is blind, he's defeated Qi Wei for several times and lost no battle

My Lord, if King Ning goes with me, he could manage to deal with Qi Wei no matter what Qi Wei's plot is

It makes sense
