Episode 78 Avis Nonpareil, War Drum of the Fair
The masked maid of the late Lady of Northern Liang had removed her mask and was a female Taoist now. Zhao Yutai started singing, "Behold, who beats the war drum of the fair, while a Wu lady in mourning wear. Behold, who's the real manslayer, as Xu's troops start their warfare... What a song, Your Highness. I heard Lady Xu Weixiong once carved on the statue of Zhenwu the Great Emperor at Wudang Mountains the words 'To be banished afar'. Only such a woman could write such a captivating Northern Liang folk song. To me, she's more like General Xu while Your Highness is more like Her Ladyship, if only you had been practicing sword instead of blade. I've been waiting for this day all these years when guarding her tomb here, as I don't find it fair for the sword Avis Nonpareil. "
