Seven Swords
Episode 34 Seven Swords
This ceremony...
might be a trap.
Perhaps you should not go.
No. I have to go.
Although Niu Kulu has not given Minghui back,
I still believe that Minghui is in his hands.
And Duo Geduo has been closely guarded recently.
If we don't get close to him now,
we might not have another chance.
All right then.
I'll be near the entrance.
If anything happens,
I can help you.
No need.
If you are there, they will notice it.
Trust me. It's going to be all right.
And, I have this.
How do you explain this?
Wait for them. Wait for them.
Is this what we waited for?
Our greatest fighter.
Is now set to fight against us.
Masters.
I can explain this to you.
Let me explain.
My brother is pretending to surrender.
He is going to kill Duo Geduo.
We didn't tell you about our plan...
because we feared it may leak out.
I hope you understand.
Pretending to surrender?
Who can guarantee it?
I can.
He's my big brother
If he wanted to fight,
he would fight me first.
I can guarantee with my life.
Is that all right?
Swordsman Yang... You are a good man.
We believe you.
Let's go!
Chu Zhaonan is now an officer of the second rank.
The strongest of the rebels now stands by Prince Yu.
1,000 pieces of gold is rewarded to him.
3,000 pieces of silver, and a house.
Officer Chu.
You are an officer now.
You should shave your head.
Perhaps we can do it today.
No.
I swore...
that I would shave my head...
on the day that I eradicated the Red Spear Society.
As for the uniform,
it would be better for me not to wear it as I will be fighting.
From now on,
I will wear my own clothes.
All right. As you wish.
No matter what...
Officer Chu has become one of us.
If there are any problems, just say it.
I will need Officer Chu in the future.
Your favours will be needed.
Tonight, join us in a drink at the prince's house.
The prince wants to celebrate...
your arrival.
All right.
So,
I'm leaving now.
Wait.
You have become an officer now.
The prince wants you to do something.
What is it?
It's very simple.
The Chief of the Red Spear Society, Wu Jiuji,
is still locked up.
The prince wants you to kill him.
To show the Red Spear Society.
My sword has never taken the life of a powerless man.
Although he doesn't have a weapon,
he is not powerless.
As long as he lives,
the remains of the society will still want to rebel.
I am pretending to surrender.
Don't you forget...
that I'm surrendering...
to rescue your daughter.
Have you forgotten...
why I surrendered myself to the prince.
If you want the prince to have faith in you,
you must prove yourself.
Officer Chu... Please.
I will join you...
in fighting against Niu Kulu.
Once your daughter has been saved,
then he will let go.
He will follow me and leave Hangzhou.
As for whom your daughter will marry,
that will be your business.
"Hangzhou Mansion"
"Convicted criminal Wu Jiuji"
The death of the chief of the society...
is in your hands now.
Everyone must die someday.
There is nothing to be afraid of.
It's time to drink my last cup.
Bring it to me.
Young man... Bring me the wine.
Bring it here!
I heard Han Zhibang talk about the seven swords.
You must be Chu Zhaonan, with the Dragon Sword.
Yes.
I think you've come here...
for a reason.
Tell me about it.
To kill Duo Geduo.
Good...
Killing Duo Geduo will save thousands of people.
I am an old man now.
It's all right for you...
to take my head away.
Go ahead.
I have had no regrets...
throughout my entire life.
Come on.
"Hangzhou City"
Who are you? Stop there!
Let's go!
Wait, they said...
Wait... Wait... Wait for the seven swords.
Brothers. Let's kill Chu Zhaonan.
To take revenge for the Chief.
Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
Swordsman Yang, you vouched for Chu Zhaonan today.
You said that Chu pretended to surrender...
in order to kill Duo Geduo.
We believed you.
Now, how can you explain this?
My brother really did plan to kill Duo Geduo.
That's why he pretended to surrender.
There must be a reason...
for what happened today.
Brothers!
Our Chief has been decapitated.
And all you can say is... "there must be a reason"?
It was you who vouched for Chu.
We believed you.
Now, we are asking you...
What happened today?
I don't have an answer to your question now.
Please give me some time.
I will find out the truth.
If I find out that Chu Zhaonan really did this,
then I will do what must be done.
If you put it that way,
then we needn't wait any longer.
Tell Chu Zhaonan to come back.
Come and explain it.
I have just told you.
He is pretending to surrender.
It's dangerous for him to meet us.
But if he doesn't come out now,
all of us will be in danger.
Chief. You are Chu Zhaonan's brother.
Please make a decision.
Everyone...
I swore...
on the day I became the chief...
that I would return the belt...
once the old chief had been rescued.
I never imagined that this would happen.
Although Chu Zhaonan is my brother,
as chief of the Red Spear Society,
I have to put my brothers in the society...
before everything else.
Second Brother... Please do me a favour.
Tell Chu Zhaonan...
that I, Han Zhibang, want him to risk his life and come out...
to tell us what really happened.
All right.
Come. Come. Come.
This cook is really talented.
The food is really nice.
That's right.
But with so few of us drinking here it's boring.
Right!
It would be best if there were a few singers and dancers here.
What are you talking about?
This is the prince's house. It's his treat.
You should think before you speak.
General... Don't be angry.
I'm just joking.
Look at my dirty mouth.
Right. My bad. My bad.
I'll drink as punishment.
Officer Chu... Why so down in the mouth?
You are the man today.
We are just here to celebrate with you.
You are the first person...
to receive this treat from the prince.
Come. Drink with me.
Officer Chu... You opened our eyes today,
when you killed Wu Jiuji.
That's right... We didn't even see him draw his sword.
But we saw the head fall off. Blood was everywhere.
But when we looked, the sword was already back in its sheath.
Officer Zhang... When will the prince arrive?
The prince? He is not coming.
What?
Officer Chu.
The prince is a very busy man.
He has to take care of many things.
Apart from his official duties, he also has to fight the rebels.
He's very busy.
Come on. Let's drink!
Killing Duo Geduo will save thousands of people.
I am an old person now.
It's all right for you...
to take my head away.
What are you doing?
Watch it!
This Dragon Sword...
cannot be touched by ordinary men.
That's right. Don't touch...
Why did you touch it?
Officer Chu...
Please forgive him.
Officer Chu. To tell you the truth,
I really admire your swordplay.
It's unparalleled.
As we are so happy tonight,
can you show them...
how powerful the Dragon Sword is?
I heard that the Dragon Sword is the best sword in the world.
It is above all other swords.
That's right.
Officer Chu. Show us.
Show us how powerful it is.
Show us a few moves.
All right.
Did you see that?
I thought I saw something flash over there.
Are you sure? - Yes.
Was it lightning?
I don't think so.
Let's take a look over there.
Bravo! Bravo! What an eye opener!
What a show... What a great show.
Truly unparalleled.
The Dragon Sword is the best in the world.
Let's drink to Officer Chu for this.
Right. Right. Right. Drink.
No need.
Officer Zhang... I have to take a leak.
Where can I find a toilet?
Hey. Show him the way to the toilet.
Yes.
We can keep on drinking.
Sir. This way please.
This way please.
You lead the way.
Sir. This way please.
You can go back now.
I want to refresh myself here.
Sir. You should not walk around in the prince's house.
Nonsense.
Yunchong... - Brother...
Yunchong...
Why are you here?
How did the old chief really die?
The Red Spear Society wants to know the truth.
Go back and tell them...
that I didn't kill him.
When the old chief heard about my plan,
he bit off his own tongue.
Bit off his own tongue?
That's right.
Tomorrow night...
there will be a meeting by the riverside.
Master Liu wants you to come.
So, the Red Spear Society wants to interrogate me.
Brother. We can talk to them.
It's useless.
Even if I explain it to them,
they won't believe me.
Wait until I kill Duo Geduo,
then everything will be clear.
But his head was cut off...
with your Dragon Sword.
You have to tell them what happened.
All right.
I will go back and tell them.
You should leave now. It's dangerous here.
Who's there?
Brother. Let's go together.
You cannot pretend to surrender anymore.
No way. If I abort the plan right now,
then the old chief would have died needlessly.
But...
I have ascertained that...
Minghui is not in the prince's house.
She must still be in Niu Kulu's hands.
You should go now.
All right.
Officer Chu.
This way.
Sir. He is dead.
He was all right just now.
Officer Chu. What happened?
I killed him.
He was a spy from the Red Spear Society.
He wanted to take revenge...
because I killed their chief.
Red Spear Society?
Do you have any proof?
No.
I am a officer of the second rank.
I don't think I need proof to kill a spy.
Officer Chu is right.
Today...
we came in a good mood, but we are leaving depressed.
We'll drink again later. So long.
Take him away immediately.
Yes.
When you killed Wu Jiuji yesterday,
I was not there.
Afterwards, I heard that...
it was tremendous.
The Dragon Sword...
didn't disappoint me.
But His Highness...
has been ignoring me...
ever since I surrendered to him.
You are very brave...
I drink to you.
I am not a very brave man.
But for my daughter, I have no choice.
Chu Zhaonan...
You have joined forces with the prince.
You are an officer of the second rank.
But you haven't rescued my daughter yet.
Aren't you afraid I'll tell the prince...
that you are pretending to surrender?
You can...
As long as...
you don't mind the prince discovering Minghui's fate.
You haven't rescued my daughter.
The prince will find out what happened to Minghui sooner or later.
That means I will be dead no matter what.
So why should I help you?
Niu Kulu said that Minghui had been captured by someone else.
Do you believe him?
Believe me.
Minghui is still in Niu Kulu's hands.
He hasn't given her back to us...
because he doesn't know who she is.
If he knew...
that Minghui was your daughter,
that would be a real problem.
That's why you should follow my lead.
It's for the best.
I will stay in the prince's house...
and find my chance.
When it comes, I will rescue Minghui.
All right... I'll believe you one more time.
My life, and my daughter's life...
depends on you now.
All right.
That's how it should be.
For the next two days...
you should pretend to be ill and stay at home.
Or else whenever the prince sees you,
he will ask you about the princess.
Before the old chief bit off his own tongue,
he said something.
I am an old man.
I would gladly give my head in exchange for Duo Geduo's.
Chu Zhaonan is a powerful swordsman.
We are just a bunch of lowlifes.
But we have to be clear about the old chief's death.
May I ask...
can you prove what you said?
No.
You became an officer of the second rank as soon as you arrived in Hangzhou.
The old chief was killed yesterday.
Today, you only offer us a few words.
How can you expect people to trust you?
How can you expect me to trust you?
I told you...
that the old chief bit off his own tongue.
You can check...
his corpse to see if I was telling the truth.
But you could still have killed him and then cut his tongue out.
Without the old chief,
there is no Red Spear Society.
No matter what...
the old chief...
has been dead for one day already.
You said that you pretended to surrender to kill Duo Geduo.
But we still haven't seen a drop of his blood spilt.
I cannot believe in you.
My brother has just told you.
Since he pretended to surrender,
Duo Geduo has refused to see him.
That's why he still hasn't found a chance to kill him.
Swordsman Chu said...
that Niu Kulu took a woman from you.
So, you used that...
as an excuse to pretend to surrender and gain Duo Geduo's trust.
I want to ask you...
did you kill the chief...
in exchange for the woman?
Are you suggesting...
that in order to rescue a woman...
I would surrendered myself to Duo Geduo?
You're too small minded.
If it's true, then I'll kill you.
Fifth Master... Sixth Master.
Yufang... Sit down!
Fifth Master. Sixth Master.
Whose side are you on?
Please sit down. Let me explain.
I have already told you about...
what happened to Minghui.
If you still don't understand, you can ask me.
Don't suspect my brother any longer.
He pretended to surrender...
so that he can kill Duo Geduo.
He has no personal agenda.
Swordsman Yang, you have told us everything.
We don't have to say anything more.
However,
as for Nalan Xiuji's daughter...
Fifth Master, I don't think you should say anymore.
Brother Yang. We trust you.
However,
you should at least tell us...
when you are going to kill Duo Geduo.
Or we will be put in a difficult position.
Chief. What do you think?
Masters. I want to say something.
When we were surrounded and attacked in the Martial Village,
the seven swords saved our lives.
And then in Boye.
Because of a traitor's actions,
we suspected Swordsman Yang
and the seven swords.
That led to Swordsman Yang spending a whole year in the desert.
Now that we are together again.
I must say that...
we have formidable enemies,
so don't suspect Swordsman Chu
or the seven swords anymore.
Before today,
I didn't understand many things.
I want to make everything clear.
Now, after hearing First and Second Brother's words,
I believe you.
Fifth Master. Sixth Master.
The seven swords came down from Mount Heaven...
to help the Red Spear Society.
With these swords in their hands,
they could become wealthy...
if they so desired.
They don't have to go through all these troubles.
I am the youngest in the Red Spear Society.
I don't think I am qualified to become the chief.
After killing Duo Geduo,
I will definitely return this belt.
But until that happens,
whoever dares to accuse the seven swords,
will be punished according to the rules of the society.
I, Han Zhibang, will not stand aside.
Yufang. What is it?
What is it?
Come on.
Why are you coughing blood?
What happened to you?
Master Liu...
Don't press Yufang.
It was my fault.
When we were in Boye,
I was too late bringing her medicine.
Her illness was never completely cured.
She was afraid that you would be worried.
That's why she didn't tell you about it.
How could you hide...
such an important thing from me?
Dad. I'm sorry. I...
I should apologise.
It was because I came back too late.
It was my fault.
Swordsman Chu. Get up quickly.
I cannot take this.
We should focus on fighting our enemies.
Since I joined the Red Spear Society, I can't put myself first anymore.
The chief has given an order, and we must all abide by it.
There's nothing more to discuss.
Swordsman Chu.
I hope that you kill Duo Geduo quickly.
To end any suspicion of you.
When Duo Geduo is dead,
I will come and ask for your forgiveness.
I will let you punish me. Let's go!
Let's go.
First Brother...
I'm sorry.
It's all right.
I know that it's difficult to be the chief.
No matter what...
we are still brothers.
Yufang...
Thank you.
Thank you for speaking for me.
I don't care what they think.
But I do care what you think.
Yufang.
Why are you here?
I couldn't sleep.
You're crying.
No, I got something in my eye.
Is it because of First Brother?
You must think...
that I'm very foolish.
Because of my feelings for Swordsman Chu.
But...
he has never treated me like a woman.
Yufang. Don't think like that.
You might have mistaken First Brother.
No, I know...
that he has always treated me like a little sister.
In fact, I should be happy.
He is such a proud man.
That I really couldn't believe...
what he did for me today.
In fact,
I don't care what he thinks of me.
I just know that I like him.
That's good enough.
Since First Brother left Mount Heaven,
he has experienced many things.
But through it all...
he has gained your trust.
I think he must be happy about that.
If you like somebody,
I guess you have to believe him forever.
After saying this, I feel much better.
Yufang...
From now on, if you have anything on your mind,
just come and talk to me.
It's all right.
Don't cry.
Be tough like me.
No one in this world...
will pity you because you cry.
Fei Hongjin... Why did you come to the central plains?
Have you forgotten?
You let Nalan Minghui go,
and are raising the child of a spiteful man.
Why would the Woman with White Hair have an apprentice such as you?
Tell me! Why did you come to the central plains?
To kill Duo Geduo.
To avenge the Eagles of the Desert.
Louder!
To kill Duo Geduo. To avenge the Eagles of the Desert.
Say it again!
To kill Duo Geduo. To avenge the Eagles of the Desert.
To kill Duo Geduo!!
This child can help you.
You can use the child to pressure Yang Yunchong.
And force him to kill Duo Geduo.
I don't have to force other people to do my killing for me.
Where is Yang Yunchong?
If he wants his child back,
tell him to meet me at Liuhe Tower.
