The Assassin Page #2

My Lord, the Provost is here.

Your humble servant pays his respects.

I sent for you,

because I want you to escort

Commander Tian Xing to the border.

Make sure he reaches it safely.

My Lord,

Tian Xing went home yesterday.

He had a stroke.

He's pretending.

As you command.

Uncle...

Be ready for anything.

Three years ago, his predecessor

was seized and buried alive.

That must not happen again!

Yinniang...

returned home yesterday.

We came face to face last night.

As My Lady guessed,

she faked her period with chicken blood.

Lord Tian is here.

Tell the nurse to fetch the boys.

Jiang, show yourself!

Yesterday, I ordered Tian Xing to leave.

He has a new post.

Just now, I ordered Provost Nie Feng

to escort him.

The incident of three years ago

must not be repeated!

Understood.

I hear we had an intruder last night.

The same woman in black?

You are well informed!

Travel safely!

Bring Xiaomian here.

Master,

it is exactly as Madame guessed.

Huji is pregnant.

She faked her period with chicken blood.

Commander Tian Xing will leave.

When it gets dark, go after him.

What news?

Tian Xing has left the staging post.

They took a fork in the road.

With Commander Tian?

It was too dark to tell.

Our man is chasing them.

We should not have let the nun take you away.

Princess Jiacheng taught me the zither.

She told me a story about a bluebird's dance.

She herself was the bluebird.

She left the Court for Weibo all by herself.

There was no one like her in Weibo.

Come and help!

Huji!

Huji is pregnant.

I found this in the corridor.

My father showed me

one of these shortly before he died.

When the Lord died suddenly in the night,

one was found by his bed.

Father suspected a plot by Princess Jiaxin.

He traced her to a temple in the south,

where they spoke.

She blamed him for his suspicions,

saying she served the heavens,

not evil spirits

and such black magic

just scares the simple-minded.

In her opinion,

the Lord died of fear.

He scared himself to death.

Lord Tian is here.

Come here, boys!

Sit.

All of you.

Rise!

Clear this away.

Reporting, sir!

Commander Tian reached his post.

And Provost Nie is

recovering from his wounds.

He remains weak,

but will report to you himself tomorrow.

My Lord,

Wang Chengzong has sent 200 cavalrymen

to arrest Xue Changchao.

My Lord,

if we behave aggressively

and destroy the Imperial troops,

the Court will mobilize

against Weibo.

I propose that we distract the Court's men

by offering them food and wine.

Meanwhile, we negotiate with Wang...

Were Tian Ji'an to die while

his sons are still young,

Weibo would fall into chaos.

So I chose not to kill him.

The way of the sword is pitiless.

Saintly virtues play no part in it.

Your skills are matchless,

but your mind is hostage to human sentiments.

Look!

The young woman kept her promise.

She said she'd come back.

She is trustworthy.

She'll escort him into the land of Xinro.
