Jiu
Nga asks Lei Muk to look after Jiu Pun and Jiu Muk leaves.
On
the day of the marriage, Jiu Sin acted like the walking dead and Jiu Nga
was saddened. Before they leave, Jiu Muk tells her to remember to take
the book. He adds that Lei Muk had left for the frontier and Jiu Pun had
also been taken back to his mansion. Jiu Nga's face becomes ashen when
she hears this.
Jiu
Sin didn't have any appetite, which caused Jiu Nga much worry. She
persuaded Siu Lung to avoid seeing Jiu Sin so he wouldn't disturb her
state of mind. At the same time Jiu Dak, who was also returning to Ngai
state to visit relatives, had returned drunk.
He
teased the two for having a tryst and Siu Lung angrily said that he left
without authorization and should be punished under the military code.
Jiu Dak's mother, Madame Ping Yuen, begged Siu Lung to forgive him. Siu
Lung thought that she was not a simple woman.
Ting
Fong, who ran away from home, met up with Lin Jun. She felt guilty and
persuaded him to be a useful man, even with a paralyzed arm. Lin Jun
started to piece back his life together and suggested they travel
together.
Siu
Lung discovered that Jiu Dak added some sleeping potion to the food and
decided to play by his game. In the evening, Jiu Dak enters Jiu Sin's
room. Siu Lung captures him and wanted to execute Jiu Dak.
Madame
Ping Yuen had no choice but to reveal that she had conspired with her
brother Sun Ling Gwan to prevent Siu Lung from easily returning to Jiu
state by causing Jiu Sin to lose her virginity. Sun Ling Gwan would use
this opportunity to ask Siu Lung to aid him in killing the Ngai king.
Siu Lung decided to imprison Jiu Dak and Madame Ping Yuen within the Jiu
state boundaries and the escorting party continued on their way.
Jiu
Sin's wagon was stuck in the stone crevice and it allowed her to
discover that Siu Lung was the escorting general. She scolded him for
promising to save her from this fate yet today he was escorting her into
the tiger's mouth (1). After hearing this, Siu Lung said that he will
take her away from Ngai state. Jiu Sin feels new hope. Ting Fong arrives in Chun state. When she was about to part ways with Lin Jun, it started to rain. The two entered a broken house to wait it out. They ended up meeting Lou Oi (2), who was escaping from assassins. After using a special skill (using only the left hand to attack) to kill the assassins, he wanted to kill the two as well.
Notes
for Episode 13
1.
The tiger's mouth is another way of saying a dangerous place. You sure
don't want to be near a tiger's mouth, now do you? 2. I think the site made a mistake in this name. The series summary at TVB used the character for poison (duk) as his given name. Now here it uses a similar looking character (oi) as the given name. Which is correct? The second one. |
