The Son of Heaven passes away
All lords in disarray
Attempts of seizing the throne
Troubled times of the Seven States
Spring and autumn are so far away
Winter is arriving
Chaos dominates the world
Meeting and parting like quicksand
As if departing for the sea
Nine Songs of the Moving Heavens
Episode 3: Brushing Against the Dragon's Scales (Part 1)
- Outskirts of Xinzheng City -
The two Lords have given their orders!
We are escorting provisions for the troops at the border!
This is a military emergency! We must brave the rain!
Don't use a lot of torches or else it will attract thieves!
Ghost... Ghost Army?
We’re on the path for the Ghost Army!
The provisions! They're decreasing!
They're disappearing! What's going on?
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Hidden Dragon Room.
Today, everyone brought their own rare treasures
to barter and exchange, to take care of and make friends with one another.
This is the Coiled Dragon Cauldron, brought in by the guest in the first chamber.
What the guest from the second chamber brought is a pair of jade bracelets.
From the third chamber, the guest brought in three Dark Crystal Arrowheads.
From the fourth chamber, this noble guest brought an impressive item.
It is said that if wine is poured in, the ripples start to become like the blue sea.
As for this simple case...
the treasure was brought in by the final noble guest.
If someone wants to exchange with me, there will be one condition.
That is, you must not open the case before trading.
My treasure picks its own master.
For some people, it is a priceless treasure.
For others, it may be utterly worthless.
That's really intriguing.
Don't pretend to be mysterious.
I can tell that you don't have any treasures.
You're just deceiving us with that *** case.
Whether you want it or not, the choice is yours to make.
- The Nangong Mansion -
My Lord.
"Huan (Pay back)"
What?
Nangong Cuo also died?
Yes.
Five presiding officers had a series of mysterious deaths...
What should we do?
There is one person who is the perfect fit to solve this unusual incident.
Who is it?
It's the Prime Minister.
Ji Wuye, you...!
Prime Minister,
are you willing to shoulder these concerns?
I am willing.
Good, good.
I will give you ten days.
If you are unable to solve this case,
you know the consequences.
Ji Wuye must have ulterior motives for recommending me.
Lord An Ping and Lord Long Quan are relatives of the Emperor.
It is impossible to torture them.
That is the reason why former presiding officers ended up empty-handed.
Furthermore, I do not want to be victimized by the Ghost Army.
That is naturally the intention of Ji Wuye.
No matter whether I am fortunate or not and escape unharmed...
if I cannot find the provisions, I will still be responsible.
Every step I make will lead to a hopeless situation.
How exactly should I handle this?
If there's someone in the Han State who can solve this puzzle...
then it's that man.
- Purple Orchid House -
Liang'er, are we not meeting the person who can solve the case?
We are. He invited us to come here.
Please come in, good sirs.
What kind of person is he to invite us to this brothel?
Life of drinking and pleasure, ridiculous!
Prince, here. A drink for you.
Alright.
Prince, the Prime Minister and Master Zhang Liang request to see you.
I have been waiting. Come in.
Prince Han Fei? It's him?
Miss Zinu,
the orchid fermented wine in this Golden Silk Cornelian cup...
they certainly complement each other and have a better taste.
As long as Prince is content.
If only I had the Blue Sea Coral Goblet, then it would have been a perfect match.
Sadly, it was traded to someone a few days ago.
With that tone of voice, sounds like you have some regrets.
I don't. I traded it for a much more valuable item.
In fact, I want to thank that person.
Grandfather...
Lord Zhang.
I know that you despise me.
But I don't have a good impression of you either.
If you want to leave, then I won't stop you.
However, I believe it's likely that you won't walk away.
You have that much self-confidence?
Would you like to hear the reason?
It's because your waistband is upside down.
And you're still wearing the shoes for the royal court.
What are you implying?
Your waistband indicates that you're having troubled thoughts.
Then you rushed over here without changing out of those shoes...
Clearly, you're seeking a solution to a problem.
I neglect courtesy and you're extremely upset,
but here you are, listening to my nonsense.
You have nowhere else to go.
Everybody says Han Fei is a playboy.
But I never thought he would have such keen eyes.
You are right.
Why would I still be standing here while you are continuing to spout nonsense?
Prime Minister, you have a broad mind.
I will apologize with this cup of wine.
