Wu Ming gets released.
"Oh.. Hey guys. Sorry for wasting your time.
Let's continue our journey."
Ryujiro: "Yeah."
Wu Ming: "Who.. Who's that woman.
Is that.."
He thinks: "Grazia?.. Grazia Moretti? What's she doing with these bastards?"
Ryujiro: "Wu Ming.. Will you come with me for a second?"
..
Wu Ming: "Yeah? What did you wanna talk about?"
Ryujiro: "Tell me. How are you linked with Yaztahruis.."
Wu Ming: "Wh-.. What? What are you talking about?"
Ryujiro: "Don't say that you're not.. I know you are. Just tell me how."
Wu Ming: "Ryujiro I...
So she told you. Grazia Moretti.."
He smiles.
"Yeah!! What're you gonna do abou-"
Ryujiro grabs his throat and chokes him.
"I don't need any bullshit.. Just tell me how are you linked with Yaztahruis?"
Wu Ming: "I... I'll tell you!"
-"Hmm."
-"When.. When my dad gave me and Zhang Liang to Liu Fengxian..
At that time, Fengxian was not working for Lord Yaztahruis.
After Dowager Cixi took over us and Fengxian joined her.. He got involved with the lord.
Once the lord visited us."
He said "You people are doing fine.. Stay under me.. Subjects of Yaztahruis."
"He was talking to Fengxian and Cixi.. But they didn't know I was there too. Eavesdropping on them.
I approached Lord Yaztahruis."
Fengxian: "Hey! Wu Ming! What the hell are you doing here!?"
Yaztahruis: "Don't.. Let him come.
Talk, kid.."
Wu Ming: "You're so cool! Mr. King!
Can I join and work under you? By hearing your conversation, I understood that you're a secret. And I'll maintain it!"
"Lord Yaztahruis found me interesting.. And made me one of his most important subjects.
A spy.. The only role of mine."
Ryujiro: "So go to your Lord.. I won't kill you. I just can't.
Not only us.. You betrayed your childhood friend, Zhang Liang too.. Who was like a brother to you.
Leave now.. Before I change my mind and kill you.
And tell your lord. That he didn't do the right thing.. Making us face a betrayal.
Pray that Zhang Liang doesn't know about all of this.. Otherwise either he'll die, or kill you.
No other options.
Goodbye.. Wu Ming."
Ryujiro throwed Wu Ming into a corner.
And Wu Ming left.
