Seven Swords
Episode 31 Seven Swords
I bow to all of you.
Your Highness.
Where is your governor?
General Nalan is preparing his defence in the city.
He ordered me to come here to accommodate you.
The news has leaked out. There must be a traitor here.
That's not possible.
What are you talking about?
Sir.
He is a relative of the governor of Hangzhou.
A relative?
Relatives are often traitors.
Take him away!
Tell the governor to save me. Quick!
Brother Yang!
Minghui! Minghui!
Brother Yang! - Minghui!
Minghui.. - Brother Yang..
Brother Yang! - Minghui!
Princess... Princess.
Princess...
Did you have a nightmare?
Princess...
Time for your medicine.
Princess...
I just heard you yelling "Brother Yang" in your sleep.
Is that right?
Is he the swordsman that Spring talked about?
I'm going to bed.
Go to sleep. Sleep well.
When the baby is born, you will need all your strength.
You will realise at the time.
Why do women have to bear all the sufferings in this world?
Why are there no good men in the world?
They are mean and unfaithful.
Mother Kai. I want to be alone for a while.
Go to sleep.
All right.
I just heard you yelling "Brother Yang" in your sleep.
Is he the swordsman that Spring talked about?
Sir... Sir!
I want to ask a favour of you.
I am a lieutenant of General Nalan's troops.
I have followed him everywhere in his battles.
What happened today must be a mistake.
I hope that you can find out the truth.
Let me out...
This is a mistake...
I'm sure this is a mistake.
Let me out!
This is a mistake!
Men and women...
have different bodies.
And different bone structures.
Even the veins are different.
Do you know why this is?
Although we practise martial arts,
we also have to read sometimes.
It's written clearly in the books.
The positions are incorrect.
Take off his trousers!
Right!
Stop it!
You've got some nerve.
What gives you the right to judge my officers?
We think that he might be a traitor.
I am the governor of Hangzhou.
Even if there is a traitor in Hangzhou, I should be the one to judge him.
Release him!
Wait!
We don't care who the governor is.
Niu Kulu has not said anything.
No one can give us orders.
Not even me?
Your Highness.
Your Highness. They...
Release him!
Ask Niu Kulu...
to cure Zhangkui.
Quick swordsmanship.
The Red Spear Society has been very quiet.
Twice we've failed.
I am to blame.
It's not your fault.
It seems...
that they are determined to attack me on my wedding day.
So we must finish them on that day.
But it will be hard on Minghui.
It's inauspicious to have killings on a wedding day.
Don't worry, Your Highness.
Minghui is my daughter.
She grew up in the army. It's not a problem.
You have turned from a soldier to a governor...
Are you getting used to it?
Yes.
Of course it will be less exciting than fighting in the battlefields.
Don't worry.
There will be battles for you to fight.
I understand.
Xiuji.
You took this job in secret. And you haven't been home since.
You should go back home today to see if...
Minghui...
is all right.
Thank you for your kindness.
My daughter has been living in the temple praying for her mother.
I will send someone to bring her back tomorrow.
Minghui doesn't like the killings.
I promised her in the desert.
That I would not kill again for a year.
But another battle is about to break out.
Your Highness is working for the country.
My daughter is ignorant, and I apologize for her.
I hope that this will be my last battle.
Give her my regards.
Thank you Your Highness.
Father.
Princess...
Are you ok?
Mother Kai... Has Spring come back yet?
Spring?
Something must have happened to her.
Princess. Don't worry.
Perhaps she is working on something.
Mother Kai... Sit down.
Mother Kai.
Once the baby is born,
please take care of it for me.
Princess. You...
The father of the child is Yang Yunchong.
He is a swordsman of Mount Heaven.
If you have a chance to meet him,
tell him about it.
I...
Have born this child for him.
But what about you? Princess.
I will go back to marry the prince.
But, Princess...
If Yang Yunchong is willing to marry you,
and he proposes to your father,
that would be better.
It's impossible.
I just want to bear this child.
I don't want anything more.
Princess... Don't worry.
Just give me the child.
I will protect it with my life.
I will raise your child.
Spring.
Let me ask you one last time.
Where is my daughter?
I don't know.
Nonsense! Tell me!
Sir. I wouldn't dare to lie.
I really don't know.
Tell me!
Sir. You wouldn't do that to me.
If I cannot find the princess, how can I face the prince?
What do you think I should do to you?
Sir. I would never betray the princess.
I really don't know.
Spring.
Don't you understand? The wedding is coming.
If we cannot find the princess,
the emperor will blame us.
He will kill our whole family. Don't you know that?
Then all of us will have to die.
Right now, all our lives...
depend on you.
Think about it!
Zhibang.
If...
If we found Duo Geduo's family...
what would you do?
What would I do?
I would take them as hostage of course.
Then Duo Geduo wouldn't dare to attack us.
We could wait until the seven swords are ready,
then attack him.
Are you talking about our neighbours?
What? No. Don't be ridiculous.
Perhaps I am being ridiculous.
Why would they be there.
And, she is pregnant,
even if she were a member of Duo Geduo's family,
it would be inappropriate...
to take her as a hostage.
In order to save ourselves,
we cannot be sentimental.
If she really is a member of Duo Geduo's family,
then I will take her as a hostage.
I have no choice.
All right. All right.
I will stop joking around.
In fact,
In fact, she is the daughter of a wealthy family.
She was forced to marry someone.
She is quite pitiable.
All right.
We have enough trouble already. We can't take on any more causes.
Don't you know that...
if the seven swords are not ready,
then the Red Spear Society will still be living in danger.
Master. - Chief.
Don't. Don't!
The time has come.
Everyone is waiting.
Don't delay. Go now. - All right.
Han Zhibang of the Shanxi branch...
becomes the Chief of Red Spear Society.
Being the chief...
is really very tiring.
I don't care what Senior Fu has done to the people of the martial world.
But we've come to Mount Heaven to find somebody to save our people.
Master Shadow-glow.
Monks are supposed to be compassionate.
Saving people should be the most important thing in the world.
Master!
Please save the Martial Village!
Zhibang!
If you want to go down the mountain, leave your head behind.
A toast to the Chief.
Come on. Come on.
Cheers to the Chief.
Master. Why have you come first?
Master.
Can I make you the chief?
No... You can't just make anybody the chief on a whim.
I hope you will achieve greatness and bring prosperity to the society.
Chief...
Let me drink to you.
Good. Good.
Chief. Duo Geduo is about to enter the city.
Only three of the seven swords are here.
There are still four to come.
I don't know when they'll arrive.
But we have to fight the battle now.
Wait for them. We have to wait for them.
Fifth Brother...
The seven swords have made a pact to meet on the full moon.
Don't worry. They can make it.
Come on. Drink with us. Drink.
What should we do? He cannot drink anymore.
You'll let him keep drinking?
It's water. - Yuanyin.
Come. Drink this!
Yuanyin.
Water.
And me.
Thanks.
Zhibang... Cheers.
Third Brother...
You have to be a good chief.
Sure... I will.
With everybody here,
I, Han Zhibang, swear in front of you,
I will return the belt...
on the day that the old chief is rescued.
In order to achieve greatness for the Red Spear Society,
I am willing to make sacrifices.
Chief.
Princess... Where are you going?
Something must have happened to Spring.
My father must have gone back home.
Mother Kai. We cannot stay here much longer.
I'm worried that he will come here.
Princess. Where are you going?
The princess...
The princess is pregnant.
She bears Yang Yunchong's child.
Where is she now?
Princess. Don't run around.
The child is about to be born.
Don't run around.
Princess. Listen to me. Come back.
Princess. Look how late it is.
You can hide over there, Princess.
But if my father comes here,
I worry for my child.
Princess. Look how big this house is. There are so many rooms.
We can hide in another room.
All right?
Mother Kai. Quick.
It's open. Come in quickly. Quickly. Come in quickly.
Fa...
Father.
What? Throwing up again?
This is hard on Zhibang.
I have a headache.
Come on. Lie down.
I don't want to drink.
All right. No need.
No more.
Yufang. Don't blame me.
I can't take it. Please no more...
Don't kneel down... I won't drink.
The mid-autumn festival is coming.
First brother must have found Second Brother by now.
Second Brother has suffered so much for the Red Spear Society.
Right, it was hard for him.
So hard...
It has been a year.
I wonder what happened to our fields.
Yufang! Yufang...
Yufang... Wait until I rescue the chief.
Then I will return the belt to him.
I'll take you home.
Back to the Martial Village.
We'll go back to the Martial Village.
Back home.
What's happening Princess?
I think it's coming.
Come on... Careful... Slowly.
Come on... Lie down.
Princess.
You are a princess.
Why have you come here to suffer?
Why?
For a man who doesn't care about you?
Why make yourself suffer Princess?
Mother Kai... Don't let anyone in.
Who is it?
Madam...
She is not here anymore. Please don't come here again.
Madam.
Mother Kai. It's all right.
You can leave us.
I have brought you something.
Thank you for visiting.
Who are you?
I am Liu Yufang.
I am from the Martial Village.
Martial Village?
A true warrior wouldn't hurt children. Fight me instead!
All right. I like to kill children.
Give me Little King Lu. Or I'll eradicate your home.
I know that...
it was my father's fault.
I am willing to take the blame for him.
It's just...
Can you wait until... the child is born?
I want you to tell me... Who is the father of the child?
I have to go back to stop my father and Prince Yu.
You should go too.
Then we...
Could you swear never to kill again? Can you do it?
I promise.
One year from now, I will ask the Emperor to let me leave the battlefield...
once and for all.
Is it Yang Yunchong? Is he the father?
Tell me!
Is it his?
Miss... Miss.
Can you promise me one thing?
Say it.
Please don't tell him that I'm here.
I beg you.
Why?
Princess.
Take a rest. Have a drink.
Let me.
Yufang. How are you?
I'm all right.
What is it?
Tell me.
Perhaps I can be of help.
The woman in the house next door...
is the daughter of Nalan Xiuji.
His daughter?
Why is she here?
Is this one of Nalan Xiuji traps?
No.
Because...
she is pregnant with Yang Yunchong's child.
She is hiding there.
Since Yang Yunchong returned to Mount Heaven,
we haven't heard from him.
I'm afraid that something happened to him.
Otherwise...
he would care for his own child.
No way.
Second Brother has the Transience Sword,
I'm sure that he is all right.
And First Brother promised me...
that he would bring him back.
The time for our reunion is coming.
I'm sure that they are on their way here.
If the Red Spear Society...
knows that she is the daughter of the new governor,
they will do something to her.
No matter who is she,
Let's keep her safe for now.
We'll ask Second Brother about it when he comes back.
That is exactly what I think.
But she is about to marry Duo Geduo.
Duo Geduo and Nalan Xiuji...
destroyed the Martial Village.
They killed so many people.
Duo Geduo should die.
However, this woman...
No matter what...
Let her have her baby first.
Speak! Where is Minghui?
You. Will you tell me?
I don't know. I don't kn...
Tell me! Speak!
Father...
Father!
Princess...
It's windy outside.
Go back to sleep.
The baby is about to be born.
You will need your strength.
Mother Kai... I want to be alone for a while.
Silly child... Don't think too much.
I'm all right.
I have thought about it.
After the baby is born,
then I will happily get married.
Is this what you are really thinking?
Go to sleep.
You should rest soon too.
Don't let anybody see you.
Hangzhou really is a nice, quiet place.
It's totally different from the desert.
It really is.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes,
I would never have believed there was such a place in Jiangnan.
Right... Is Minghui still all right?
Oh yes... She's well.
She just wants to pray to her mother before she gets married.
To show her respect.
She has been staying in the temple.
Your Highness...
Would you like me to go to the temple and bring her back.
I can bring her here to visit you.
Don't rush her.
I'll respect her wishes.
