Trailer EP14-19: Li Shande was obstructed from conducting experiments | The Litchi Road
How long has Amita been with me? Ten years, I think. Don’t you have anything to explain to me? I have a clear conscience. What’s there to explain? Why is he still alive? How much longer does he plan to live? Don’t worry, Inspector. During the trial, I will find the right moment to remove this cancer for you. You remember this. Envoy Li. Now that I’ve returned to Lingnan, this is the only business
I’ve set my sights on. If we succeed, then both of us will have a sliver of hope. Please do your best, Envoy Li. I will fight with heart and soul, with you to the end. Since you’re this committed, Su, I will do my utmost. Tomorrow, I ask that you all join forces with me, and accompany me in fighting
for a chance. The horses are back! That’s just running in circles. How can this compare to delivering lichis to Chang’an? It’s like a donkey. You blindfold it and make it walk around the millstone a thousand times, it still won’t become
a long-distance donkey. Quick, take him to the well, let him drink some cold water. Even if we take ten thousand steps back, say the trial succeeds, so what? What difference does it make? When he gets to Chang’an
and meets His Majesty, do you think he’ll really say all your names? And dilute his own credit? You’ll end up with nothing
to show for it. The lichis in urn “Bing” are fine. Good. Good. Chief Scribe Zhao. How’s the trial going? Everyone’s exhausted. We’ve worn out several teams. Only a few riders are left, barely hanging on. What about the one I told you to watch? He’s the one who ran the most. He should be burned out by now, right? If something happened in the mountains… well, that would be considered
an accident, right? The horse died running
on the mountain road. This horse can’t run anymore. But we can still run. Right! Yes! I can run too! I can run too! If you break Mr. Li’s urn, and affect the experiment’s result, then you’re affecting His Majesty’s lichi tasting. You won’t let us use people, and you won’t lend horses. So how can I continue the experiment? Mr. Li. Inspector He said you and your horses are worn out
from days of travel. He sent me here to deliver some fine horses. She clearly wants to oppose me on purpose. Alright. Urn A is fine. Urn A is fine! Resume the experiment. The horses are here! The horses are here! The horses are here! I’m afraid I can’t go along with this cooperation. Mr. Li. Is your daughter studying at that embroidery school
in Willow Lane, Anren Ward? Then I suggest you reconsider our proposal. Cooperate with us. Go back and tell Zhao Xinmin, I, Amita, won’t be playing along. Amita’s behavior lately has really crossed the line. Ma Guiyun has been fanning his tail like a peacock
these days, aggressively pursuing Amita. But Amita shows him no interest at all. So here’s our plan. Let’s send in a young beauty to win Ma Guiyun over. I have long admired Mr. Ma. Didn’t see it earlier, but now, seeing you two together, you truly are a perfect match. Others will be envious. I just worry that you
might take the act too far. You clearly enjoy it and probably quite enjoy
the feeling of being admired. After all, being chased
is easier than chasing others. Love, such a profound thing. Fake affection is a lie. True love comes from real emotion. What do you know at your age? If I boast as a broker… It’s only because
I’m well-connected and slick. There’s nothing I can’t arrange. If Haihu wants to issue Hai Fan Tokens, he has to let me handle the distribution. And so I got into the Hai Fan Token business. But I heard the largest amount came
from a person of Dong. They must’ve told you about Atu. In our tribe, there’s a man named Atu. He’s the only one from our people living among the folks in Gaozhou. He discovered a hidden path in the Dayu Mountains. If he smuggles those marked goods along that path, he could ship them out of Lingnan and earn a fortune in silver. How could a wild tribesman compare to me? He only surpassed me on the very last deal. Some unknown person suddenly threw in 2,000 tokens. That Atu got incredibly lucky and snatched the deal. But so what? Didn’t he die in that huge fire
at Whale Rider House? That’s impossible. Five years ago, he asked a merchant to bring supplies back to our tribe. He escaped death from the fire, but chose to vanish. He must have learned something, a secret that could get him silenced. I shall have a toast with Mr. Li. Compared to those shrewd men, you’re a complete fool. You’re so foolish that even I can’t bring myself
to trick you. Despite your foolishness, you’re incredibly sharp as well. He’s not like the other citymen. I know he’s pretty genuine. But in this citymen’s world, there’s too much helplessness. He has no say in many things. You better keep an eye on Li Shande. We absolutely can’t let Tu
fall into his hands. Whoever finds Tu will be able to uncover the truth from back then. If Amita manages to locate Tu, she’ll definitely break with that old man. Then the seat
of the Hu Merchants’ Association’s chief will be up for grabs. Ms. Amita. Why don’t we hand Tu over to Inspector He? Well, Tu is currently at the Association. How did Tu end up with Amita? Ms. Amita seems to have something else in mind. She wants to interrogate him herself. Looks like what’s meant to come will come in the end.
