Trailer EP09-13: Li Shande began to officially test the transport of litchi | The Litchi Road
Have you thought of a way to deliver the litchis to His Majesty? We just have to try. How? By doing it for real. Give it a go. The Right Chancellor’s envoy brought this letter. It’s a lead to bring down He Youguang. Guiyun. Now that you’ve got his loyalty letter in hand, why aren’t you in a rush to leave? Come on, tell me. What exactly did that letter from the Right Chancellor say? Just two words, really. Supervision. Lingnan is my turf. Ping’an. We’ve got to stay alive. We still have to return to Chang’an. I’m going to bring down the Right Chancellor. You? Bring down the Right Chancellor? You can’t even deliver litchis. Did I laugh? So, I want to run a litchi transport experiment. Send out four teams at once, no holding back the horses. Let’s see how far they can go before the litchis spoil. With such long distances, plus food for people and feed for the horses, it all adds up to a number as wide as the sea and sky. So tell me, how much are we short? I’ve already cut costs to the bone. We’re still short 2,580 guan. Get some rest. If you’re not giving me the permit, then send out Inspector He and give me a straight answer. On the left, I’ve got Ma Guiyun. On the right, the Litchi Envoy. Is that annoying or what? Honestly, this litchi envoy job ends by the first of the sixth month. That’s the end of it. This time, why not just let him have his way? The four permits you wanted are ready. I’ll take my leave. Wait. Keep an eye on him. You’re in Lingnan now. At least have someone tend to you. Let’s see… You can be called Li. Li. If these fresh lychees really make it into Chang’an, then our Lingnan will become a juicy piece of meat. Who knew behind
this business opportunity lies a deadly trap? So you’re the Litchi Envoy. I want to make a donation to the guild to buy 130 fine horses. Please help me with that. You’ve already caused me enough trouble. Even my brother-in-law
is troubled by her. What do you mean “even”? You know her? not me, it’s Ma Guiyun. Ma Guiyun’s next mission is to get close to Amita. What we need to do next is to drive a wedge between Amita and He Youguang, and obtain all the evidence
of He Youguang’s crimes. I can get close to her, but I need a reason. For a man to approach a woman, maybe no reason is needed at all. I’m just afraid Amita in the end will fall too deep. don’t laugh. Then you’re underestimating Amita. You’re underestimating me. I admit you’re very charming, and smart too. You’re flexible when facing problems. But Amita is a girl who doesn’t easily give her heart to anyone. I think you’re just
the right person for this. I’m just worried… What? With all this hesitation, don’t tell me you’ve already fallen for someone in Lingnan? I’ll do it. What about these horses? Should we give them to him or not? If we give them,
it looks like we’re hesitant. If we don’t give them, we’re afraid this guy will go mad and drag us down with him. If we must give them, let’s give a discount. These horses are still wild, but full of spirit. If matched with good riders, they could take on hundreds. Two of them together
would be worth two hundred. I’ve seen these two horses. They are wild horses. They’ve kicked and broken many ribs. But what if those two horses are truly swift steeds? I’ll use them as the vanguard for a test run. Aren’t we splitting
the troops into four routes? Will two horses be enough? Then what should we do? If the steeds can relay back and forth and be used repeatedly, then everyone will be happy. Used repeatedly. Used repeatedly. I’ll go back and calculate. I’ll go back and calculate. The idea for the siege test is like opening a glimmer
of hope in a desperate situation. Xiu’er. Your father is fighting here
with his life. we’re one step closer
to Chang’an. A few days ago, I hired a porter. He told me about a wrongful case from ten years ago. Ten years back, one of Haihu’s men hijacked a merchant ship carrying herbs. A low-ranking soldier caught wind of it. Later on, that soldier seized a silver dagger from a pirate chief. It had a ruby inlaid in it. this is Li Shande getting back at us for taking his steed. He’s digging up old dirt just to mess with me! This siege race of Li Shande’s, we’ll use it against him. Lan. Could you ride the horse
for me just this once? If he becomes Li Shande’s rider, then during the trial run, he can totally hold him back. You two just make it look like you’re running full throttle. But go slow. Keep the pace down for me. Rider of the fine steed, payment negotiable. How much? Can you ride? I’m willing to give it a try. if Amita eventually brings this up, what will you say? My lips are sealed.
