Episode 20 - Lin Jun Kills Lou Oi and Replaces Him

   

 When Ju Gei sees Bat Wai enter the room, she enters his embrace with tender affection and says that she doesn't want to enter the palace. Bat Wai persuades her to think about Ying Jing's future if she didn't and Ju Gei suffers a great blow(1).

The Chun king was very happy to be reunited with Ju Gei and Ying Jing. He gives Ju Gei the rank of Madame Wa Gwai; to Ying Yuen he bestows ten hectares(2) of grasslands, one hundred horses and allows him to return to his hometown to live out his days. The king gives Siu Lung the rank of Grand Teacher so he could teach Ying Jing kung fu.

The second prince Sing Giu and Yeung Chuen Gwan notice that when Ju Gei and her son had just returned to the country, 'even a chicken and a dog are elevated to immortals(3). They felt threatened by the two.

Jiu Sin knows that Ying Yuen wants to return to his home village and hopes that she can also live with Siu Lung in the mountains and forest. She adds that she is willing to follow him to the ends of the earth and Siu Lung is touched.

Bat Wai has a banquet and asks Siu Lung and Ying Jing to attend. The two sees Lin Jun, who calls himself the Left Handed Spirit Sword Lou Oi. He was Bat Wai's new swordsman, which led the two to feel a bit scared.

Siu Lung asks to see Lou Oi (Lin Jun). He tells Siu Lung about how he killed the real Lou Oi and says that he is willing to help Siu Lung aid Ying Jing in ascending the throne. Siu Lung doesn't quite believe his words.

The Jiu state sends the emissary Jiu Dak to congratulate Ying Jing for returning to his country. In the audience hall, he says that the Ying Jing in front of them was a fake. Yet the Chun king had already known about Ju Gei switching the real Ying Jing while being held hostage and angrily says that Jiu Dak was spreading lies. He had Jiu Dak kicked out of the Chun palace.

Jiu Dak was filled with rage as he returns back to the palace. He bumps into Ying Jing, who was on his way to seeing Ju Gei at her personal rooms and formulated a plan.

Siu Lung finds out that Jiu Dak had gone to the Lui mansion and knew that something was wrong.

Jiu Dak says that he wants to negotiate a deal with Bat Wai, who mistakenly thinks that he knows Ying Jing was his son. Bat Wai begins to think about killing off Jiu Dak.

At this time, Siu Lung asks for an audience with Bat Wai. Once he sees him, Siu Lung asks Bat Wai to kill him. Bat Wai was confused and dumbfounded on the spot.

Siu Lung says that he had once fought with Jiu Dak over Jiu Sin and had incurred hatred for each other. This ended up bringing trouble for Ying Jing, he adds. Siu Lung then starts praising Ying Jing's bloodline being excellent and healthy while secretly complementing Bat Wai, who suspicions were eased but still killed Jiu Dak.

Notes for Episode 20

1. She wasn't hit, ok. It just means that she realized Bat Wai's point. She couldn't just think about herself because her son had a golden opportunity in front of him.

2. This saying means that even someone who's poor and lowly can be elevated to the highest ranks. The two are comparing Ju Gei and Ying Jing as a chicken and a dog, considering them to be poor and lowly.
