Seven Swords
Episode 21
Charge!
Protect the princess!
Princess... Go inside. Please, hurry.
I have two wishes.
I hope that this war will end very soon.
And that nobody else has to die.
I am willing...
Brother, don't kill.
Protect the princess!
Protect the princess.
Spring!
Brother Yang.
Don't kill?
You want to let them live and tell the others where we are?
Who is Nalan Xiuji to you?
Tell me!
Who is Nalan Xiuji to you?
I won't allow you to insult my father.
Oh, so you are his daughter.
How about this!
Heaven has given us the daughter of our enemy.
Leader...
There's no point holding this woman hostage.
Tell the people...
we will kill the daughter of Nalan Xiuji tomorrow morning.
My people will be avenged.
No way!
Who let you in?
You cannot kill her.
What a joke!
I have decided and it can't be changed.
You may leave.
I want to know...
what is your relationship with that woman?
I was injured...
and she saved me.
She even risked her life getting me out of their military camp.
You said there was a doctor...
so she was the doctor?
She is my saviour.
Please don't hurt her.
Because she's your saviour,
you expect the rest of us to forget our grievances?
Could you?
Your hatred does not concern her. - Of course it concerns her.
I don't care.
I have said this before.
She is my saviour.
And she is also my friend.
I won't let anybody hurt her.
If you have become friends,
then we have become enemies.
Does she really mean...
that much to you?
Why do you hate her so much?
I want to know...
apart from being Nalan Xiuji's daughter, are there any other reasons?
Don't think so highly of yourself.
You have not answered my question.
You like her.
So what if I like her?
Or if I don't like her?
What's it got to do with you?
Do you know that you look obnoxious now?
Sir! Sir! Look!
Spring.
Open the entrance, quickly.
Your Highness.
On the way to Yili...
Princess Nalan was captured by Fei Hongjin.
The deputy Libiao was killed.
Did you really save Yang Yunchong?
Do you think that he will come to save you?
You are so calm.
Frankly speaking,
you look quite nice.
Your eyes are beautiful.
Your skin is nice too.
What if I use my knife to cut up your face?
How would you look then?
I would become very ugly.
What are you laughing about?
I think that you look nice too.
Do you think you're a long way from death?
Let me tell you...
we have decided...
to execute you tomorrow morning.
Yang Yunchong cannot save you.
I want to show you something.
Once...
This was the biggest village at the foot of Mount Heaven.
There was lots of water here.
Life went on happily here.
The villagers...
loved to gather together...
to sing and dance...
and drink good wine.
Now,
there's nobody here.
There's not even a sound.
Sometimes, I wonder...
is this a nightmare?
Do you want to know...
where are they now?
Let me tell you, they are dead now.
Everyone is dead.
Even those lucky enough to survive,
had to leave their homes,
because there was no water left.
There are a lot of soldiers...
guarding the places with water.
In the desert,
there are uncountable corpses.
This was all the work of your father.
Who gave you the right to determine other people's life or death?
And who will be there to determine yours?
Yunchong. What are you doing?
Yunchong.
If she falls down she'll die!
But if you go out now, Fei Hongjin will become more furious.
She would definitely die then.
Let me tell you why I do this.
I want you and your father to know...
that there is justice in the world.
Everyone has to bear the responsibility for their own actions.
There are no exceptions.
Now, I want to know...
what are you thinking?
And what are you feeling?
Are you scared?
Weren't you very calm?
Don't worry. I won't let you die so soon.
You still have tonight.
I don't think you understand Fei Hongjin.
Let's go.
You should be prepared to be hurt...
as much as you fall in love.
Fei Hongjin...
I know how you're feeling.
Come on. Fight me.
Fei Hongjin.
Thank you.
Minghui...
Here is some food and water.
You were right.
My father has always lied to me.
It's not your fault.
Everyone is involved...
in this war.
Everyone is at fault.
Fei Hongjin said to me that...
there is justice in the world.
Everyone has to bear the responsibility for their own actions.
I think that she is right.
Now,
I don't feel scared at all.
If my death,
can really compensate for what has been done to her people,
then I'm willing to die.
Minghui. Don't say that.
This is not your fault.
I used to ask my father...
when will the war end?
I want to go home.
But it's beyond the control of my father.
Is it really because he has no choice?
Or just that he doesn't want it?
Brother Yang.
I remember that you told me...
you kill people by your conscience.
Now, I believe you.
Why do you believe me?
I just believe you.
I have followed my father's army for so many years,
we have travelled a lot.
I really miss my home.
I dreamt about returning home.
I want to go to my mother's grave...
and talk to her.
It's good now that...
I will see her very soon.
You won't die.
Brother Yang. Can you tell me a story?
All right.
What would you like to hear?
Anything will do.
Once upon a time...
there was... - I want to know more about you.
Come with me. I won't let you die.
Brother.
If you leave now, then don't come back.
Fei Hongjin will kill you.
I know. Let's go together.
No way.
If we both leave,
then who will be here to talk to Fei Hongjin?
But you...
It's you who left, not me.
She wouldn't do anything to harm me.
And I have things to do here.
I know.
Let's go.
There is a deep gully over there.
I have led the horse there already.
And there is food and water.
Take care.
Let's go.
You two were guarding the woman and she escaped.
But you didn't even notice.
I want to know why.
Please punish us, leader.
Stop!
If we have strength, we should use it to kill our enemies.
Get out, both of you!
Ailike, gather the Eagles of the Desert.
Prepare to catch the hostage.
Yes.
If we catch up with them, and they resist,
should we kill them?
Yes.
What if Brother Yang resists?
I'll take care of him.
You haven't left?
Why should I leave?
Yang Yunchong has left with Minghui.
No, I let her go.
It had nothing to do with my brother.
Nothing to do with him? Then why did he leave?
Fei Hongjin.
In this desert,
it would not be easy for you to find two people.
Even if you did find them,
Yunchong might not want to come back.
I think you should save your strength...
to fight your enemies.
Fei Hongjin.
I know that you are a person...
who can let go.
Just let this thing go.
Although I've released Nalan Xiuji's daughter,
we will still be able to decapitate Duo Geduo.
You admit to releasing Nalan Minghui.
How can I trust you? How do I know that you will fight Duo Geduo?
All right.
I have wronged you by letting Minghui go.
I'm willing to be punished.
If you want to kill me, please do.
Take out your sword.
The Dragon Sword must only be used to fight my enemy.
And you are not my enemy.
I too, will only kill my enemy.
Yang Yunchong is not your enemy either.
Come on.
Let's discuss the plan...
for killing Duo Geduo.
Your Highness.
We don't even know the whereabouts of Fei Hongjin.
Isn't that true?
Minghui. Are you all right?
Let's take a rest...
and drink some water.
Drink some water.
The sun is oppressive.
I will block it for you.
Thank you.
Brother Yang.
Do you have worries?
It's nothing.
You saved me.
Does that mean you can't go back?
Don't think too much.
I will handle this.
I can't sleep.
Can you sing me that song again?
Sure.
I really like lying with you like this.
Don't go!
Don't leave me here alone.
I'm not going anywhere.
Can you come closer to me?
I think that Aierjiang is very fortunate.
Why?
Because there is a song that belongs to him.
His song will live forever.
People will always sing it.
And like it.
I only like to hear you sing it.
It's cold... Put this on.
Let's go.
I cannot go with you.
What are you talking about?
If I go with you,
then things will become serious.
I don't want anymore bloodshed.
This war must end.
Minghui.
I have thought about it.
I have to go back to stop my father and Prince Yu.
You should go back too.
Go back to Fei Hongjin.
Try to think of a way to stop her.
Then... Then we...
I will never forget...
the night we spent together.
Take care.
Thank you for bringing Minghui back.
I'm letting you go for now.
Next time, when I see you again,
I will kill you for sure.
Let's go!
A man...
should love his woman properly.
If he doesn't love his woman properly,
then he is not a man.
The places that belong to the soldiers now...
are the places with water...
that used to belong to your people.
Our enemies bases are on plateaus.
If we attack them on horses,
we will be seen very quickly.
And there are cannons...
surrounding or enemies strongholds.
We should destroy their cannons first.
Then attack them on horseback.
Those cannons are very powerful.
However,
if some of our people...
can sneak into their bases...
and destroy their cannons first.
That will enable us to attack them horseback.
That's right. That's what I meant.
But Duo Geduo has a rifle squad.
We must also deal with them.
I have analysed their gunpowder.
This is what their rifle squad can do.
It's not really very powerful.
But,
it can still hurt people wearing armour.
So, they are still quite powerful.
