Episode 34 - Siu Lung Cleverly Exposed Bat Wai's Evil Plan to Usurp the Throne

Ying Jing points out that the reflection in the mirror that disappears is a bad sign. At this time, Lei Si arrives with a report. Bat Wai and his group were brewing opposition to choose another skilled leader. Siu Lung's state of mind was in confusion.

He remembers the words of Professor Wu and realizes if Ying Jing is unable to protect his status as king, history will be changed. The two would obviously disappear when that happens so they hurriedly think up a countermove to the Lui Si Chun Chau.

A meteorite fell from the sky. The officials were wary of this 'flying rock from another heaven'. Bat Wai points out that the meterorite might be hinting that a king of a country had lost the trust of the people and should retire for someone more skilled to rule. The officials were surprised. Siu Lung instead thinks that the rock has some other secret to tell. He points out that the words 'the person with the most importance has orders from Heaven' is inscribed on the rock. That means that Ying Jing is the true son of Heaven, which made Bat Wai very angry.

The Jiu state sent Lei Muk to lead the troops to invade the Chun state. Ying Jing decides to send Siu Lung as the lead general to battle with them, using this as an excuse to take back the military control that was being held by Bat Wai. Yet Bat Wai and Lou Oi both were taking advantage of this chance to suggest people for the job as well. Ying Jing had no choice but to let Wong Jin, Lou Oi and Siu Lung compete with each other. The winner will receive the seal for leading the troops.

Kam Ching was afraid that Siu Lung would follow the same fate her husband suffered when he left to fight. (He died while in battle.) Siu Lung comforts her, saying that he'll let Lou Oi win and that he'll take her to Italy and Venice for a vacation. That brought a smile to Kam Ching's face.

On the day of the competition, Lou Oi wakes up to discover his body felt weak and realized that Ju Gei had secretly made him take medicine so he wouldn't be able to go out to fight. He was very angry about it.

Ying Jing, using the reason of protecting his status as king, wanted Siu Lung to win the general's seal. Siu Lung knew that Wong Jin's skills on the horse was excellent and devised a plan to win the competition. Bat Wai was in a rage.

Siu Lung suggests to Ying Jing to make Wong Jin his second in command. Wong Jin was grateful.

Kam Ching finds out that Siu Lung had won the competition and was very sad. She remembers the day of her wedding and the scenes when her husband left to never return. Her tears continue to fall when she made up her mind in her heart.
