Don't kill me. I'll help you escape
Aren't you worried I'll try to kill you again?
You won't
You have great trust. You really are from the Land of Snow
We found a piece of his cloak
Where is he?
He has disappeared with the slave
Traitor!
Why did you kill the King for me?
Why did you jump off the cliff?
Why are you so kind to me?
Because I want you to fall in love with me
I cannot fall in love with anybody
But you already have, with me
Who are you really?
He is my slave
Master, I am back
He saved our lives
He is my slave. That is his duty
There?
Kiss me
Are you afraid I would push you away again?
Sleep well
Wait!
You... Where do you think you are going?
Where are you going?
I must leave you
Why?
It's my destiny to lose every man I love
a foolish promise I made as a child
I cannot change it unless time flows backwards
winter falls in the spring
and the dead come back to life
Let what passed between us stay in our memory
Let you, let me savor the fleeting kiss that we shared.
You deceived me!
Kunlun!
Kill her!
I cannot change my destiny, Kunlun
But you can learn to make up your own mind
When you know whether or not you should strike
come and find me
Go then!
But I can promise you
when the last of the cherry blossoms all have fallen
that very day before the sun sets You will come back to my side
Kunlun!
Bring my horse!
Yes, Master!
My horse will speed your return to me!
She won't come back, Master
You have lost her
Because of this woman, you have disobeyed me a second time
I no longer want you with me!
Master
I have nowhere to go
Go home, back to wherever you came from
Kunlun, I will take you home
The snow will restore your strength and you will learn who you are
You are not a slave
You are a man from the most noble land of all
Where there was only light
and trust and clarity
Where we ran like the wind, and flew
I will show you the land of your ancestors...
the Land of Snow
Mama?
I saw my mother with a little girl
Who was she? Was I dreaming?
Where was that place?
This was your home the Land of Snow
I had to travel backwards in time
to show you who you are
The Land of Snow? Where is it now?
You were only two years old
when you were taken away as a slave
The girl was your sister
Five years ago it was destroyed by a cruel and heartless duke
Who are you?
The one who is cursed to wear the black cloak
The only man who can run faster than time
I want to see my mother and sister again
Learn to run then!
If you run with purpose
you will be able to see them again
I know how to run!
That is not running
That is fleeing
To achieve real speed
You must discover your heart's desire
What does it mean - desire?
That is something you must find for yourself
This is as far as I can take you
I have taught you everything I know
Remember, real speed is imperceptible
like the swell of a breeze, the gathering of clouds
The sunset and the moonrise
Just as you cannot tell when the leaves have turned
or when the first tooth of a baby has emerged
Just as you cannot tell when you have fallen in love
Thank you, my friend
The one who should return is not here...
The one who shouldn't has arrived!
Master, you have lost your bet with Qingcheng
Huh? I certainly have not The sun has not set
Master, I have learnt to run faster than time itself
I have learnt that real speed cannot be perceived
Who taught you this nonsense?
Carry on!
Real speed is like the swelling of a breeze,
the gathering of clouds, the sunset, the moonrise
or the leaves turning red
Like a baby's first tooth emerging
or when we fall in love
The sun is setting!
Master, let me take you back in time to the day she left!
How dare you not return to me!
I am not afraid to love anymore
even if I lose you, I want to love you!
With you, I feel that I can trust again
Have I really got you now?
I was yours a long time ago
The moment you saved me from the King
was the moment I fell in love with you
When the last of the cherry blossoms all have fallen
When the sun and the moon appear side by side
Qingcheng's true love will come to her
She is not mine yet but she will be
Qingcheng,
I have learned to make up my own mind
I could never harm you
Now I must go home...
Do you remember
what you said by the waterfalls?
You said, you must not die, you must go on living
I want to see my mother... my sister...
It's useless
What you see has already happened
Your desire has carried you back five years
I am going to kill Wuhuan right now!
You cannot penetrate the wall of time
you cannot save your family
I am the Duke of the North, your conqueror
Since I was a child,
I had wanted to run like the wind, the way you do
As your new ruler, I have brought you a special present
A cloak with magical powers
which will allow you to run faster than anyone, faster than time
You will traverse heaven and earth in the blink of an eye
My people, one of you may receive this gift
and have the honor of being my slave
Who would like this privilege?
Little girl
Why don't your persuade one of your clan to come forward?
What does he want with my little sister?
We should go
Leave me alone!
Is there not a single person amongst you
who will accept my offer?
You are a cruel and heartless race, of no use to me!
Mama!
I will be your slave!
Let me be your slave!
Then let's see if you are a fast enough!
Don't run! You'll fan the flames!
Now I believe you are a native of the Land of Snow
But one who is afraid of death
Still, only a man who fears death can be a good slave
Put this on, and you will live
But you have to wear it always
If you ever remove it
you will become a wisp of air
vanished forever...
From now on
you will serve as my swiftest assassin
When I'm ready, you will eliminate my greatest enemy
You betrayed you own people!
I never hurt anyone
I did not betray anybody
All I wanted was to live
Do not go looking for Wuhuan
Like me, you will not be able to kill him
I am nothing like you
Wait!
Great General, we have captured Wuhuan
He awaits your justice
Weren't you ready to feed me to the wolves?
Great General We made a terrible mistake
We gave our allegiance to Wuhuan but he is half the man you are
Without you we are as children without a father
We should never have turned our backs on you
We have wronged you profoundly
We have missed you
I will not go
My life is here
Great General I know that you too have missed us
Commander Yeli
The General you once knew is dead
Take this armor and find it a new master
He would never have parted from his armor, even for a second
Our Great General... is truly no more
Go ahead and cry
Stop crying!
Stand up!
If you don't come with us I shall never stand up
Why don't you come with me?
Forget them!
Being a warrior is behind you now!
What if I really wished to go?
Don't leave me! Don't!
Then come with me!
Let's go!
Are you looking for the General? He is not here
He's gone
Kunlun! Wait!
Find him and make sure he is safe
I'll wait for him here
Please enter
I knew I could make you come back
Such beautiful clothes you have!
Did Qingcheng make them herself?
I was told that the Great General Guangming
was happily living with a woman
without his armor and in domestic bliss
Am I right?
Arrest the assassin
The Crimson Armor, My Lord
Thank you, Yeli
Move!
You are an imposter!
You think I don't know your secret?
Qingcheng!
What a perfect pair
Pity you are in love with the wrong man
Stop!
Do you think I took you to see her
just so that you can break her heart?
She is waiting for you
You know where to find her
Yes I do... She is in Wuhuan's cage
We have to work together with snow wolf now
We must kill Wuhuan and rescue Qingcheng
I have no appetite to fight
I have lost to Wuhuan
He has waited, Then taken away my only happiness
You should kill me
the way you would kill a defeated soldier who refuses to die
Have you forgotten?
You are the mighty general who wiped out 20,000 invaders with 3,000 soldiers!
The Great General Guangming is finished
Where is the Crimson Armor?
What do you want with it?
You are no longer worthy of being its master
I am going to put on the armor and confess my true identity to Qingcheng
This has been my heart's dearest desire
You will find the armor in Wuhuan's sanctuary
Go and get it yourself
At my trial tomorrow
I shall have a chance to see Qingcheng again
I shall wait for her here
It's been a while
my old friend
Give me the armor!
I imagine you have come on behalf of your countryman, the young slave
You will have to forgive me
I cannot give it to you
It now belong to me
Not because of any of this god-of-war nonsense
But because it's a symbol of my power!
Give it to me!
Anyone can take anything from anybody
as long as they are cunning enough
Unfortunately... you are not
Give me back my cloak!
I have found someone far more satisfying to command
I gave you life to bring about Guangming's death
Now that he is in my hands, I have no more use for you
Give me the cloak!
Out you come, you coward
Otherwise hurry up and run
It's over
All I need to do is give this a little tug
It's your choice
Let Snow Wolf go and give me the armor...
Or die
Need you ask?
Of course you may have it
Wait!
Snow Wolf, Return my cloak
and I'll let your friend leave with the armor
Otherwise... I shall have to kill you both
Once, you betrayed your own people
And now you are betraying me, your benefactor, who saved your life
A traitor is always a traitor
If you are no longer willing to kill for me
you should return the cloak
Give me back the cloak!
I'll kill you!
My Lord!
Let go!
Let go of me!
Listen to me!
Let go of me!
Listen to me!
You have not answered
The armor, or the cloak Snow Wolf?
I told you once that
the day Wuhuan came and massacred our people
I did not wrong anyone
Nor did I betray anyone
But now I realize I was mistaken
I have wronged somebody, and betrayed somebody
myself
I have to thank Wuhuan
for showing me the futility of a life without honor
It makes me realize
that death is not as terrifying as I had imagined
This is for you, my friend
Go and prove to Qingcheng that you are the one she should love
Snow Wolf!
You are free to go, Kunlun
But you must stay within the City walls
Kunlun, you are here!
Quickly, go and save the General!
I cannot do that now
Then he will die tomorrow!
If you tell the court it was I who killed the King
The General will be acquitted
But you didn't kill the King
You can tell them...
that night the General was seriously wounded
and he asked me to put on his armor
Guangming!
Everything you possess was bestowed on you by the King
And yet you murdered him - why?
Because I fell in love with his Princess, Qingcheng
there a better reason?
I really don't want to see you
throw your life away for a woman
The assassin Guangming is sentenced to be beheaded in public
Let the people see his true face!
This is my final and most glorious victory
You liar!
He did not kill the King
It was his slave who did it
Who is this?
I am the slave who killed the King
Does anyone believe that a slave could kill the King?
Never!
I believe him!
Why would a mere slave kill the King?
Because I asked him to
He is my lover
Absurd!
That night... the General was heavily wounded
he asked me to put on his armor...
The moment he killed the King, was the moment I fell in love with him
I leapt onto his horse
And we rode all the way to the waterfalls
You took my hand, and you said
If we must die, let us die together...
That was not what I said
I said - you must not die,
You must go on living
The King was truly killed by me
Execute him! Execute him!
What you just told the court is true
Afterwards you leapt into the ravine for this woman
Did I not tell you?
You have been in love with the wrong man
Wuhuan
I am going to kill you!
You have good reason to
I made a terrible mistake
Of course you would never have killed the King for a woman
You are still my idol
Thank you for clearing the Great General's name
You are free to go
Guangming, freedom is not for you all three?
Tied them up!
I have waited years to have the satisfaction of today
but you are not going to die so easily
You will have the pleasure of witnessing each other's death, one by one
What use is your speed now, Kunlun?
Here is food and drink
But you cannot reach it
Just as love is out of your reach
When the last of the cherry blossoms have withered
You too will cease to exist
Like petals falling from a branch
you too will return to the earth
You were the first person in the world to lie to me
Have you forgotten?
Let me down and I will be your slave
You took the bread and ran away
Fine, if you promise!
You were the one
Who first make me lose my trust in the world
Even in myself
Now look at me neither trusting nor to be trusted
And always in the shadow of a greater man
But you, beautiful Princess
You have the adoration of everyone!
You fool, you have lost everything and you laugh at me?
I am laughing at myself
I allowed a woman who is in love with somebody else to suffer for me
I too am a liar
Why are you crying?
I find this very moving
Why?
Because you never give up!
I have long dreamt of the day
that the people's hero would put this on for me
Should I give up this dream?
Give me the cloak!
Why should I believe you?
You should believe that nobody wants to die
Why don't you come down and try it on?
Kill him!
Before you can strangle me, she will be already dead
Drop your dagger!
You let go and I will drop the dagger!
He's lying!
Drop the dagger and I'll let go
Since neither of us trusts the other...
Why don't we both let go at the same time?
Fine
let us trust each other this once
Your time has come!
He's got another dagger!
Neither of us is trustworthy
Let them go
Truly a man from the Land of Snow...
They're dying...
Go and say goodbye
Love is forever out of your reach...
Quick, go to him!
He is waiting for you
You must not die
Let us go home together
You must not die,
You must go on living
I want to give you another chance to choose
Destiny can be changed, Qingcheng
Time sometimes flows backwards
Snow can fall in the Spring
and even a frozen heart can come back to life...
