Lou
Oi reveals to Siu Lung that Jiu Muk was the illegitimate son of Chun San
Gwan of the Cho state. His objective for being in the Jiu was to ruin
that state's strength. He also points out that after his arm was
paralyzed, he was abandoned like a broken doll by Jiu Muk. He swears
that he will get revenge and Siu Lung feels bitterly disappointed as he
hears this.
Tou Fong
suggests that Siu Lung dress like the horse-crazy Dung Hong of Cho state
and use the name of peddling horses as a way of entering the Jiu. Then
he can impersonate the secret messenger from Cho state to earn the
confidence of Jiu Muk. Tou Fong then helps Siu Lung change his looks.
Nou Dai from
the Sau Juk Cheung Sing finds that it was difficult to attack Ying Jing.
Luckily for Lou Oi, he was able to use his sword to kill him. Loi Oi
takes advantage of this feat to curry favor with Ying Jing.
Siu Lung meets
with Lei Si again in the Lui mansion. He agrees to suggest him for the
post of Ying Jing's teacher and Lei Si is grateful.
Jiu Sin gives
Siu Lung a charm for a safe return. Her expression was of one that
didn't want to be apart from him. Siu Lung was touched but didn't dare
to make any promises to her.
Ting Fong again
remembers the scene when she was raped by Lou Oi and decides to hire Sin
Yau to kill her. Sin Yau asks for one thousand taels of gold but in the
end strikes a deal with five hundred taels.
To earn the
money needed, Ting Fong is willing to help Sin Yau as an assassin. Her
first time as an assassin, Ting Fong is nervous and nearly got Sin Yau
killed. She persuades Ting Fong to give up on revenge. Sin Yau says that
she had no choice at the time when she became an assassin. Only after
giving the money she earned to help a group of orphans did she feel that
she was worth something.
Ju Gei notices
that Bat Wai is only thinking about teaching Ying Jing to write
characters and ignores her. She personally makes a meal and asks him to
come, but he doesn't. Ju Gei then angrily pushes the plates of food to
the floor.
Lou Oi again
reminds her to take advantage of the fact that the Chun king listens to
her every word. He then grabs her 'jade hands' and her mind is uneasy.
