Seven Swords
Episode 17 Seven Swords
I am an apprentice of the Mount Heaven School.
There are no good men in Mount Heaven School.
They only bring bad luck.
You have to swear...
that you will turn against them your whole life.
The apprentices of Mount Heaven School?
Right? What?
Yang Yunchong. You have helped us.
I will let you go this time.
Leave by tomorrow morning.
Or if I see you again,
then I will kill you for sure.
Brother Yang.
what have we done to offend...
Fei Hongjin?
How would I know?
Don't ask so much.
We are leaving, aren't we?
I am a man who always keeps my promises.
I have promised your leader that I would leave this morning.
I will not stay a minute longer.
What are you doing here?
You saved our lives.
This food and water...
we give you for your journey.
Thank you.
I will remember you.
We'll meet again someday.
Who told you to come here?
I told you to only give them two bags of water.
When did you begin to decide for yourselves?
Here are the two bags of water.
Don't do anything to them. I'll return this to you.
I won't touch anything that has been in your hands.
Throw them as far away as you can.
Why are you still here?
Do you want to leave with him?
Come on, let's go!
Brother Ke Limu, go on ahead.
I'll catch up soon.
Go quickly!
Wait!
I want to know...
why do you hate the people of Mount Heaven so much?
My master told me to stay away from Mount Heaven School.
I understand.
I don't know what we've done to offend your master.
But I don't think I know your master.
I don't think she knows me either.
Why do people who don't know each other...
have so much hatred between them?
And there should be no hatred...
between the two of us, right?
Violence cannot solve any problems.
And it cannot be used to control people.
We have to learn to tolerate one another. This is what life is about.
As the leader of the Eagles of the Desert,
you should be able to achieve that.
Or else,
how can you protect other people?
That's enough!
People like you would never understand this.
How can you teach a person like me, who has had such a harsh upbringing, how to live?
What a joke.
All right. I'm leaving now.
I don't want to fight with you.
Can you return my sword to me?
I don't have your sword, it fell down the cliff that day.
You didn't see it because you were so busy.
What? Do you regret saving me?
Go find it yourself!
Brother Yang.
Have you fallen in love with Fei Hongjin?
Me...
Ke Limu.
How did you meet your wife?
We met at a gathering of the people.
I was drunk, and so was she.
That night...
And since then...
we've done something and there is no turning back.
Do you regret it?
No.
We've come through.
As you get older and you find that your body isn't what it used to be,
you're glad to have somebody to share your life with,
and thankful for the years you've had together.
What are you thinking about?
Nothing.
Do you know what this is?
Sure, it's what women wear around their breasts.
Are you all right?
I...
The other night,
I dreamt about Fei Hongjin.
We were together...
Together.
Do you want to come out?
You've had enough after only 20 days?
when you have learnt to adapt to loneliness...
you can come out.
Remember.
You have to be stronger than any man.
Having your own company is good enough.
You don't need anybody else.
Zhang Chengbin.
Your Highness.
What is it?
I have found out...
that this is where Fei Hongjin last stayed.
And there is no other water...
marked on the map.
The map tells you much... but not all.
In a desert like this,
no one can survive one day without water.
Fei Hongjin and the Eagles of the Desert must have found water again.
I don't think they could have grown wings and flown away.
Your Highness, I was useless.
All right. The map is useless now.
Throw it away! Search everywhere!
They must be around.
I can feel it.
Yes Sir. Follow me!
Wait!
What is it?
What are you doing?
A lot of people are coming this way.
What is it?
The soldiers of the government.
They must be going after the Eagles of the Desert.
I have to go back and tell them about it.
Ke Limu, you should keep going.
Ailike. What are they doing?
They are passing the flower.
When a boy gets a blue flower,
he'll give it to the girl he likes.
And the girls will give the red flowers...
to the boys they like.
This means that they like each other.
And they have accepted each other's affection.
Brother Yang has returned.
You have to leave here as soon as possible.
Listen to me!
The soldiers of the government are very near.
They will find us before nightfall.
You have to leave here immediately.
You saw them?
Yes. There are a lot of them.
They have reached Keli Village.
It seems that they really want to find you this time.
They will not give up so easily.
Take my order!
Yes.
Prepare for battle!
Yes.
Lead them away from here.
You can escape if you leave now.
Who is leading the soldiers?
Duoduo. He is a great tactician.
He commands 2,000 men.
Cut off their food supply.
They will not advance if they lose their food supply.
Then we can buy some time.
Good idea.
Then I'll leave the Eagles of the Desert with you for now.
You are the leader.
You cannot take this risk.
Let me do it. Don't fight with me.
Yang Yunchong.
Follow me. I'll return your sword to you.
Your Highness. There is a sandstorm ahead.
Yes.
We should turn back now.
It would be troublesome after sunset.
All right. Go back.
Yes.
Return to the camp!
They must be here.
Let's split up. - Yes.
It's you.
Yes.
Fei Hongjin. I Found it.
Is it all right?
No. I cannot pull it out.
I guess... I guess I'll have to use dynamite to break the stone.
Dynamite?
Yes.
I guess...
We have to go to their military camp.
All right. We can also find out where the granary is.
Let's go.
I'm sorry. Drink some more.
I will refill it tomorrow.
All right. No problem.
The two of you take watch first.
I'll take your place later.
All right.
Go in and take it. I'll watch out for you.
Did you get it? Let's go.
Master. Please.
Master Qi.
Master.
Qiu Dongluo.
This is my deputy Zhang.
You know them?
I am the deputy to Duo Geduo, Zhang Chengbin.
I have been waiting for you.
Please.
Son-of-a-bitch.
Let's go.
Wait... Be patient.
Follow me.
Your Highness... Master Qi has arrived.
Your Highness.
Your Highness... This is my master.
People call him the God of Swordsmen from the north.
Your name is well known in the capital city.
Is that true?
My useless apprentice...
has praised Your Highness so many times before me.
He said that you are very talented.
That's why I have come to visit you.
Come, let's sit.
As you are the God of Swordsmen from the north,
you must be very good at swordplay.
I hope that you can capture Little King Lu,
and eradicate the Seven Swords of Mount Heaven.
On my trip, I have heard a lot of things...
about the seven swords.
People say that among the seven swords...
Chu Zhaonan and Yang Yunchong are the most powerful of them all.
They have understood that...
it was wrong of them...
to join the Red Spear Society,
so they have repented...
and returned to Mount Heaven.
That's good.
What is your opinion on this?
I don't have an opinion.
I think that the seven swords...
will be caught sooner or later.
There is no need to ask me here to fight them.
If they come from Mount Heaven,
then I can take some people...
and destroy their old home,
then everything will be settled.
It would be very welcomed if you would initiate this.
But I have come across the talents of the seven swords myself.
They are really great swordsmen. But I don't know...
if Master Qi...
I heard that Your Highness is a skilled archer,
why don't you shoot your arrow at me.
What do you think?
All right. Give me the arrows!
Come on.
Master Qi is a really great swordsman.
Somebody is eavesdropping on us.
Do you know where they are?
Are you talking about them?
Call the alert! Find them!
Master Qi... Why haven't you made a move?
I don't care about these little people.
But even a little mouse can ruin the whole granary.
Your Highness...
When will you pay me...
the amount you promised?
It's not too late to move...
but until you've paid me...
Be patient.
All right. I won't hurry.
They are gone already.
Let's go. - Ok.
Don't kill recklessly.
What are you waiting for?
Daughter. - Father.
Daughter. Daughter.
What happened to you?
Did you see the face of the assassins?
General Nalan.
She's just woken... Let her rest.
You are right.
I'll tell Spring to prepare some tea.
Thank you Father.
I'll help you.
Thank you Your Highness.
Your Highness...
Don't you like it?
I do.
Did you paint this?
What do you think of my paintings?
I know I'm not good at it.
No, no. It's good.
It's very special.
It's no good.
You don't have to lie to me.
I didn't take care of you well enough.
I didn't prepare the colours for you. So you could only paint in black and white.
I have always painted this way.
Your Highness. My father told me...
that the government wants him to fight the rebels.
And he has to build a granary here.
Can Your Highness tell me how long it will take?
I don't think I can provide you with an answer.
The rebels are quite strong and they are very cunning.
They dare to sneak into the camp during the night.
That is proof of their audacity.
So, he won't return in a short time.
Are you feeling homesick?
Don't worry.
We will accomplish our mission very soon.
Then we can go home together.
I know that...
when war breaks out, it takes quite a long time.
You don't have to worry.
I was just asking casually.
It's late.
You should get some rest now.
All right.
How many people were there?
There must have been two of them.
They could rely on each other,
but would not be a big target.
Your Highness, these two are very skilful.
Very skilful.
Could it have been Fei Hongjin?
Very likely.
They have the strength to come in the night.
I guess they have recovered quite well.
We cannot delay anymore.
We must quash the Eagles of the Desert soon.
Yes.
Your Highness, I found out that they broke into the dynamite warehouse.
How much have we lost?
About 5 catty.
They stole so little?
5 catty of dynamite hardly seems worth risking your life for.
Your Highness.
Master Qi.
Your Highness is not feeling well.
You shouldn't concern yourself about those two thieves.
Master. - Quiet!
You are disrespectful.
You have drifted along for so many years,
got to know so many people,
yet you still flash around in front of me.
I'll ruin you if you don't behave.
Yes Master.
A strict master makes good pupils. I won't disturb you anymore.
Please stay Your Highness.
Your Highness. Don't be angry.
Otherwise they will have won.
Master Qi.
It seems that you don't understand me.
I would never be so easily angered.
I am very tolerant.
May I ask...
What the thieves stole from you?
5 catty of dynamite.
Dynamite?
Well... I'll take my leave.
All right. I have to detonate it now.
This is dangerous. You should stand farther away.
Give me the fire.
I dropped the sword.
I said that I would return it to you without any flaws.
Yang Yunchong, I won't owe you anything after I return the sword to you.
I've said it before. We're friends.
You don't owe me anything.
What will you do next?
What?
What will you do next?
I will burn the soldiers camp.
And then...?
And then... Go back to Mount Heaven.
You don't have to burn the military camp.
That is our business. We will do it ourselves.
What are you saying?
It doesn't concern you. Don't do it for us.
You don't know anything about Aierjiang.
You tried to save him because you drank with him.
And you came back to inform us about the soldiers.
But why did you give me the blue flower?
What do you mean?
According to our tradition,
you have to marry the one you give it to.
Really? I didn't know that.
Can't you use your head before you do something?
Stand there. I'm not finished with you yet.
What else?
I don't like the way you talk.
You cannot go anywhere.
What do you want from me?
You love me. Admit it.
I have never said such a thing.
I'm not used to it.
You won't say it. Do you know how to smile?
You can prove your love with a smile.
So, you do love me.
Wait. Wait. Wait!
I'm not finished yet.
You already smiled. That means you are in love with me.
My smile meant that I like you not that I love you.
Like is love... It's one and the same.
It's different!
The two of you really are very romantic.
Yang Yunchong...
instead of going back to Mount Heaven, you came here to talk about love!
Today, my master will send you to hell.
Come on.
It's warmer by the fire.
Why don't you come inside?
If you're just going to sit there...
You may as well leave.
Why have you come back?
It's cold out there.
You can feel the cold?
Of course.
Drink this.
I'm not cold.
What are you saying?
Why don't you admit that you are afraid of having another nightmare?
If my master knew...
that I have not fought with someone from Mount Heaven,
and have even drunk with him,
she would definitely...
put me to the sword.
You keep talking about your master but who is she really?
That old monk has never talked about her?
My master?
Yes, that old monk.
No one wants others to be disrespectful to their own master.
Would you be happy if I didn't respect your master?
My master has never mentioned...
that he offended anyone.
He must feel guilty about it.
Perhaps it was just a misunderstanding.
Why say that...
when you have no idea?
Right.
My master did mention a woman.
He said that he owed her.
However, this woman...
never gave him a chance to repay her.
From then on,
every winter, my master...
would stay on Mount Heaven...
and wait for the snow lotus to blossom.
I don't know if this...
has anything to do with your master.
Has the snow lotus blossomed?
Not yet.
The old monk... your master, is he still waiting?
Every year. Even now.
My master is the white-haired woman.
She hates Zhou Yihang for his coldness in love.
Her hair turned white overnight.
Perhaps it is a misunderstanding.
Why didn't my master follow her?
Because my master wouldn't let him.
Yang Yunchong, we mustn't let misunderstandings come between us,
without trying to explain it to the other.
No, we won't.
If I have anything to say,
I will say it to you.
You would also say it to me, right?
I see that the snow lotus has blossomed.
I can see it too.
Did I wake you?
It's dawn. We should be leaving.
Are you hungry?
What?
Do you want something to eat?
I'm not hungry.
When we were practicing our sword skills on Mount Heaven,
my master would only let us drink, not eat.
I am used to it.
The old monk abused you. Let's go.
Let's sit down and rest for a while.
Mount Heaven is talking to us.
What did you just say?
This is the place where Aierjiang confessed his love to me.
The river had run dry.
The sandstorm must have been huge last night.
It made the wooden fences...
collapse.
That's why there is water.
We should hurry on our way.
Are you Ok?
You are the first apprentice of Huiming.
No wonder you were given the best sword.
That's right. The Dragon Sword is the most powerful in the world.
I'm afraid that both of you are going to die here.
Then both your swords will be mine.
Take it... if you think you can!
