The Assassin Page #3

When it gets dark, go after him.

What news?

Tian Xing has left the staging post.

They took a fork in the road.

With Commander Tian?

It was too dark to tell.

Our man is chasing them.

We should not have let the nun take you away.

Princess Jiacheng taught me the zither.

She told me a story about a bluebird's dance.

She herself was the bluebird.

She left the Court for Weibo all by herself.

There was no one like her in Weibo.

Come and help!

Huji!

Huji is pregnant.

I found this in the corridor.

My father showed me

one of these shortly before he died.

When the Lord died suddenly in the night,

one was found by his bed.

Father suspected a plot by Princess Jiaxin.

He traced her to a temple in the south,

where they spoke.

She blamed him for his suspicions,

saying she served the heavens,

not evil spirits

and such black magic

just scares the simple-minded.

In her opinion,

the Lord died of fear.

He scared himself to death.

Lord Tian is here.

Come here, boys!

Sit.

All of you.

Rise!

Clear this away.

Reporting, sir!

Commander Tian reached his post.

And Provost Nie is

recovering from his wounds.

He remains weak,

but will report to you himself tomorrow.

My Lord,

Wang Chengzong has sent 200 cavalrymen

to arrest Xue Changchao.

My Lord,

if we behave aggressively

and destroy the Imperial troops,

the Court will mobilize

against Weibo.

I propose that we distract the Court's men

by offering them food and wine.

Meanwhile, we negotiate with Wang...

Were Tian Ji'an to die while

his sons are still young,

Weibo would fall into chaos.

So I chose not to kill him.

The way of the sword is pitiless.

Saintly virtues play no part in it.

Your skills are matchless,

but your mind is hostage to human sentiments.

Look!

The young woman kept her promise.

She said she'd come back.

She is trustworthy.

She'll escort him into the land of Xinro.
