General, we just need to walk...
half a day more, we'll reach Bai Shui City.
Let's take a rest first.
Good.
Xia Hou Zhan.
The reason for me to ask your help this time...
is for...
a swift victory in conquering Bai Shui City...
without using one single soldier.
I want to ask you...
whether you are confident of controlling...
the time for the toxin to take effect.
General Yelu means that you hope the toxin...
to lurk for a period...
before it spreads out massively.
My idea is to lure the whole of Yang's army...
to Bai Shui City and hence...
kill them all at one time.
Then, we Liao State...
will be free from further troubles.
To put toxin into water really can...
cause massive poisoning for lots of people.
But that occurs quickly...
so that will be easily discovered by others.
Is there a way to cause lots of people...
to get poisoned but at the same time...
no one is aware of that.
General Yelu, don't worry.
I Xia Hou Zhan must get a way to enable...
the toxin to be spread out gradually.
I've sprinkled the toxin on...
the bodies of some small animals.
As long as the people of Bai Shui City...
get to touch the animals,
they will be poisoned.
Those who get poisoned,
will spread their toxin...
onto others around them.
Only within a few days, all people of the city...
will totally get poisoned by the deadly toxin.
Get away.
Only within a couple of days, Bai Shui City...
will turn to a Dead City.
Yang's army...
Here...
is the place to bury you all.
Report: According to the spy's report,
the Liao's army has sent crack troops to...
station a hundred miles away from Bai Shui City.
I'm afraid that the Liao people once again...
intends to invade Song's territory.
What is Prime Minister's advice?
In my opinion,
we only need to terrify the Liao people, and...
let them know that we Song's Emperor...
has already been aware of their conspiracy,
I guess they must be alert...
and would refrain to take reckless action.
Then how do you...
terrify them?
Your Majesty,
I think sending Commander Yang...
to lead the Yang's army to...
guard Bai Shui City is the best strategy.
Your Majesty,
wouldn't it under-utilize Yang's army if they...
deal with only hundreds of Liao's soldiers?
As you know Commander Yang...
has fought with Liao's army frequently...
but never to lose a battle.
Therefore the Yang's army is...
what Liao's people caution most.
If we are to show our army's strength,
Commander Yang is the most suitable person.
But if Commander Yang refuses to do that,
then we have nothing to say.
It's my duty to defend Song's territory.
I have an unshirkable duty.
Commander's a person of blood-&-iron loyalty,
I really admire.
Ok, Commander Yang. You'd better hurry up...
to prepare for the garrison matters.
Yes.
Dad, I've informed the Yang's army that...
weapons and food are prepared a few days later,
and then we can set off.
Good.
Dad.
I'm not sure whether...
I should talk to you one thing.
Say it.
Although our move...
is to terrify the Liao people,
I could feel an unlucky sign.
Have you discovered something?
I remember Dad once told me...
Yelu Xia has appeared in Central Plain.
And recently there's a villain skillful in...
poisoning others has appeared in Bianjing city.
I always feel that...
there's something strange.
So you're thinking whether the two phenomena...
link to each other?
I haven't found anything so far.
But I do worry about that.
We have to take the job however dangerous it is.
Which task we Yang's army has ever taken...
is easy?
So it'd fine if we're cautious all the way.
Yes, Dad.
4th Brother, your wounds seem to have recovered.
Almost.
I lost.
4th Brother, it'd good you have your skills...
recovered about 70 to 80 percent.
If your skills are fully restored,
won't I deem to lose bitterly?
When have you become so much like 7th Brother...
that loves to play lips?
I really miss 7th Brother when you mentioned him.
If he could join the battle in Bai Shui City,
he must be very excited.
It's said that the new soldiers we recruited...
have been already organized into troops.
How's going?
Your illness seems to have recovered nearly.
Are you interested?
4th Brother.
If you're to fight with 5th Brother,
we really can't tell who's to win.
Do you really want to see a fight between us?
Of course not.
If mom knows about that,
she must become angry again.
But 4th Brother,
how good is your skill actually?
No one knows.
5th Brother is different.
He's brave and fierce to kill in the battles.
Every one knows that.
I think that...
if both of you...
go for a battle together,
it's quite easy to tell who wins, who loses.
Is it necessary?
Of course not.
But it's really a great challenge...
to win over 5th Brother.
In fact...
I've joined the Yang's army.
At least it's not bad trying military life.
But I'm not the one to decide that.
It means that you agree to that?
Dad must be very happy.
Do you come here as a persuasive talker?
Of course not.
I'm just a bit curious.
Just want to know in our Yang's family,
who's the one with the best skills...
besides Dad?
With the decree of the Majesty, Yang's army...
set off for Bai Shui City three days later...
and expel those Liao army who invaded the land.
Take the order, Yang Yan De!
Yes.
You'll be the Deputy Commander of Yang's army...
to assist me, Commander, to draw up strategies...
to lead the three armies.
Yes, Commander!
Yang Yan Ping, Yang Yan Ding, Yang Yan An.
Yes.
You're appointed as...
Left and Right General, and Pioneer General.
Yes.
For that new army trained lately...
General Jiao Zan and Meng Liang will...
arrange you all into different troops...
to assist each General for the battle.
For Yang Yan Hui, Yang Yan Zhao...
both of you have repeatedly made good results...
in this training.
I appoint you both to...
follow Deputy Commander Yang Yan De.
You have to follow all instructions.
Yes.
Still reading military books!
The war's coming but I don't have experience.
So I can only well prepare for it.
It is good to take seriously...
but there's no need to worry so much.
Come, take some dessert and rest.
Mom, you come to see me today.
Is it only for delivering the dessert,
or you want to talk with me?
Your Dad told me the military appointments.
This time, it's seems that...
you're not appointed important tasks.
Do you feel bad about that?
To be frank...
I'm a bit disappointed.
I think your Dad might have considered that...
your frontline experience in war is inadequate,
so that he's arranged as it is now.
What do you think?
I understand.
I don't care too much.
I would feel less stress for a minor post.
But you can't think like that.
For military jobs,
even if you're only a security guard,
every one is equally important.
Just like this husked lotus seed.
Although it plays a minor role,
we can't cook such a bowl of...
delicious red bean soup...
without it.
Mom is really skilful in making analogies.
I'm saying the truth.
The military official ranks...
are decided by their titles,
not age.
What does that mean?
Wu Lang's title is higher than yours.
We hope you could understand that.
I know.
Mom, don't worry.
I'll try the best to facilitate our tasks,
if no one is to deliberately against the others.
In my mind,
seven of you are all brilliant soldiers.
As the mother, I really want...
to see you all united,
staying together in harmonious.
Mom, don't worry.
We will.
We'll be like such red bean soup you made...
so harmonious!
Come on, eat this.
Just steamed.
Look.
So beautiful.
Princess, look.
How do you think about these wind chimes?
Look at them.
Aren't they good?
Princess, look at this one.
Not bad.
The sound is good.
I feel it sounds particularly pleasant.
I like this one.
I must give it to Brother Yang.
Then buy it.
Shopkeeper, how much is it?
Two pennies.
Thanks. Thanks.
Princess.
What are you looking at?
Which one do you like? I'll give one to you.
No.
There's not any kites would be...
better than the one made by Yang Liu Lang.
What are you talking about?
Brother Yang can make kites.
He even can make those kites that are...
big enough to take people up to the sky.
Really?
That's really unbelievable.
You don't believe it?
How come there's a kite can carry people?
I told you long ago that...
he had a weird mind...
and is always able to make...
something unimaginable.
There's also a workshop in his house.
It's possible that the big kite...
is still there now.
Then, have you flown to the sky...
with him by that kite?
That experience almost took my life.
We're not joking that time.
We really took the adventure...
without a frown.
If that time,
we really die of that adventure,
I dare say...
we would have died with no regrets.
Princess, I found these things...
so overwhelmingly exciting.
What else did you undergo with Brother Yang?
Tell me more stories, can you?
That time the Emperor issued order to arrest us.
He presumed us who seized Tai Zu's treasures,
and even dragged in the whole Yang's family.
That's why we could only look for 8th Prince...
to help us get out of the trouble.
Until then, we had turned out fine.
Luckily the Emperor hadn't misunderstood,
so that released both of you...
and set free the Yang's family.
How come you and Brother Yang are...
so greedy for treasures?
Exactly.
I really admire...
Brother Yang and you...
have experienced a lot together,
found treasures, misunderstood and...
sought after for execution by the Emperor...
and successfully survived in the end, so that...
Yang's family could survive too.
No surprise that your relations are so good.
So are you two...
becoming lovers?
How can you say that?
That's something natural anyway.
Princess, why do you blush?
Then I should have said something true.
Now we are just like sisters.
It's harmless even if you tell me the truth.
I think Brother Yang and you are...
the best match in the world.
Actually,
I don't know how to describe it.
If you say we're very friendly to each other,
we actually often quarrel. However...
we're in very good relationship indeed.
But why?
Anyway, it's just like what you said earlier,
everything follows a rational line.
I feel that there's a lack of...
something between us.
What is it then?
I think it should be...
flames.
Flames?
Between lovers,
there should be flames.
Both of us haven't felt the flames.
That's because things around us are so good.
We get along so well...
so that we've become inseparable.
Then do both of you query...
whether you two love each other dearly?
So we've made a two-year agreement that...
now we are in a better relation than...
being just friends.
But for the relation of lovers,
we're not so sure.
But I feel...
both of you still treat each other...
with sincerity.
What about we go to find Brother Yang?
Find him?
Anyway I need to give this small gift...
to him before he sets off for the battle.
Let's go together.
No. That's too sedulously.
What you two need is more time to be together...
so as to spark flames.
No. If you want to go, just go alone.
If we make it so sedulous, he must tease me.
Some opportunities...
could be only seized by yourself.
I don't. I really don't.
Fine then. If I were you,
I must seize this opportunity.
6th Brother.
This pretty lady said she's looking for you.
Ms. Pan, how come you're here?
Well, there's nothing...
so important.
Last time I was drunk,
and also had you taken care of me.
I'm sorry for that.
This time I've brought you a gift.
Wish you a triumphant return for Bai Shui City!
Thank you.
The wind chime looks nice.
If you like it,
I'll also bring you one next time.
Thank you.
For you.
You...
Go and tell Pai Feng to prepare...
refreshments to serve guests later.
Yes.
Is it your research workshop?
Yes.
This kite is so big and beautiful.
I also have another bigger one.
Really?
Is that the one you and Princess...
which flew into the Palace?
How do you know that?
That was what Princess told me.
It seems that you two have good relations.
In fact, I have a gorgeous wish.
That is...
to fly in the sky freely.
Why is it so difficult?
I've already mended this kite today.
Do you want to try it with me?
Is it not good to do that?
Don't you believe my invention?
I do believe.
Then let's go.
Look there.
I've never imagined...
it is like that when it's viewed from above.
Really Fun.
Look there.
Thank you.
Delicious.
I've never imagined...
I could really fly up high in the sky.
Since I was small, I've been uninterested in...
doing things out of the logical thinking.
I always like...
turning the impossible to possible.
Brother Yang, you're really great!
I think that you're even greater than the...
renowned ancient Chinese craftsman, Lu Ban.
Don't say something like that...
otherwise I'll become so conceited.
You deserve to be conceited.
I also feel proud to...
have a friend like you.
My experience today...
is really unforgettable.
I've never thought that...
my kite could cheer you up so much.
I'm just thinking...
if I could fly one more time, if I could...
feel again how great the sky and the sea are...
it would be so good.
No problem.
Go.
Princess.
You look...
why is your hair so messy?
Is it? You just think I were you who...
pay so much attention to beautiful appearance.
I haven't scolded you for...
where you've brought her.
It's not Brother Yang's faults.
It's me to beg him...
to play that kite with me.
Is it the kite...
that we flew into the Palace last time?
Yes, exactly that one.
You two chat here. I go back to the room.
When I was mending the kite at home,
she came to see me.
Then I took her out to try that kite.
No need to explain to me...
how is that kite mended.
That's nothing to do with me.
I haven't explained anything to you.
I just want to tell you. Why should I go?
Don't be so mean.
How come I'm mean?
It's your kite.
Not my business for whom you like to fly with.
So you're jealous...
you mind so much my flying the kite with her?
Do I have the right to mind that?
Yes, of course.
Because this kite is...
an icon signifying both of us...
had once experienced fatal hardship together.
This kite is owned by you, Yang Liu Lang.
I don't have the right to ask about it.
Don't say something like that.
It eye-witnessed how we survived death together.
Therefore it means so much...
to me.
So what?
Does it prove that I did something wrong?
Alright. I assure you...
I won't let anyone...
touch this kite.
Really?
Really.
Starting from today,
you're the mistress of this big kite.
What mistress? Who covets that?
If you reject to be, I just find another one.
Alright, alright. I forgive you this time.
Come, drink some water.
Yes.
Thank you.
What annoyed you so much that...
you even broke the rosary?
Some Buddha's truths are inconceivable to me,
and that makes me flurried.
People like you so mild and kind even can't...
understand those truths,
then they're really profound.
What happened anyway?
I haven't got it clear yet.
Let's stop talking about it.
Okay. I don't bother you anymore.
Pan Ying, just behave yourself.
Although you like Yang Liu Lang,
Princess is the one loves him before you do.
Princess treats you well.
You can't do anything fails her.
You can't ruin the friendship between you two.
You've come.
Why didn't you tell me?
I saw you're so concentrated on your job.
So I didn't want to disturb you.
Do you look for me for something?
I come here to say good-bye.
Say good-bye? Where're you going?
The Emperor has appointed our Yang's family...
to take the Battle of Bai Shui City tomorrow.
We'll set off tomorrow.
Males of the Yang's family...
are heroes in the battlefields. I trust that...
you wouldn't fail other's expectations on you.
But fighting wars must be very dangerous.
You have to take cautions on every step.
You must have to come back safely.
What're you studying?
Don't move.
This is a poisonous worm...
found earlier on the dead body...
of a prostitute who died of the venom.
It's unimaginable that such a small worm...
is so powerful.
The venom carried by this worm is very fierce.
Once it gets into the body, one surely dies.
Then don't you afraid of the hazards...
when you study such a poisonous worm each day.
Don't worry. As long as people take this pill,
he can be immune to the poison of the worm,
so that he can take the precaution.
It doesn't matter...
dying in the battlefield.
But if people die because of such an worm,
it's really not worthwhile.
Don't say unlucky words.
You don't know that...
when the poison takes effect,
people will suffer for a long period...
before he dies slowly.
At the beginning, people suffer from high fever.
Then he will vomit, or even spit blood.
And gradually, he can't breathe and...
later dies of the poison.
It seems so horrible.
Such poison is transmittable.
That's why if you find anyone being poisoned,
he must be quarantined.
Otherwise,
more people will be harmed.
Only in several days,
all people in a town...
will get poisoned and die.
I've never imagined...
there's still something...
so virulent to human beings.
It's so wicked for the person...
to use such virulent weapon.
Then you also need to be cautious...
when you often study that, okay?
You too. Be careful on every move.
Ms. Guan, Silly Gui said...
you looked for me for some matters.
Good, I also wanted to meet you.
I come here to say good-bye to you.
To say good-bye? Where're you going?
I'll follow the Yang's army...
to go for the battle of Bai Shui City.
Set off tomorrow?
What's the matter for you to see me?
Nothing.
Impossible.
There must be a purpose for you to see me.
Are you still thinking of...
finding that person for retaliation?
I just found the whereabouts of Xia Hou Zhan.
I originally wanted you to...
help me for the revenge.
You've discovered his whereabouts.
Where did you find him?
Ms. Guan.
I really understand how you feel now.
But you'd better not to rush...
for the revenge.
Not to say that you're now not sure of...
where the person is and where to find him?
I promise you...
as long as the battle of Bai Shui City's over,
I'll be back immediately to find that person...
for retaliation for your parents.
But you have to promise me...
when I'm not around you,
you should absolutely not act casually.
Yes.
You must come back safely.
I wait for you to retaliate for me.
You are a person like a sleeping lion...
even if you're asleep,
you'll be still ferocious.
Why do you come here?
I come here to take you to a faraway place.
Your determination for revenge seems not strong.
What do you mean by that?
I'm just to tell you I can help you...
retaliate for your family vendetta.
But...
What do you want?
Haven't I said that...
I could help you for the revenge?
Will you go with me?
You know where Xia Hou Zhan is.
Now I'm asking you...
whether you'll go with me.
How do I tell whether you said was true or not?
Since we've known each other,
I haven't lied to you.
I have to go.
What you need now...
is not my trust to you.
It's rather your determination for revenge.
Yelu Xia,
You led me here.
Is it because Xia Hou Zhan is here?
What is this place?
You...
What are you going to do?
You...
Yelu Xia,
it wastes my admiration for you as a hero.
You are simply a lustful guy.
Leave me alone.
Who's the lustful guy you talked about?
I press you on the grass...
is just to offer you a good location...
to see the starry sky.
See. How beautiful the sky is?
You'll never forget it for the rest of...
your life after seeing it tonight.
Although I Yelu Xia...
can't be regarded as a decent person,
I'm by no means a lustful guy,
especially for the women I love.
I'll surely not treat her with violence...
to force her to do something against her will.
So you don't have to worry at all.
Are you dumb? Or are you insane?
Let me tell you once again.
Don't have any silly and fantastic notions.
I can say to you for a thousand times that...
no matter what strategies you use,
I'll never like you.
I can also say to you a thousand times that...
I like you.
You.
You are really unreasonable.
I can't stop you from rejecting me.
By the same token,
you also can't stop me from loving you either.
That's why in my eyes...
it's you the unreasonable one.
You still have mood to see the stars?
Don't forget what you've promised me.
Xia Hou Zhan.
When you look at the stars,
your heart must be at ease.
Otherwise,
you can't feel the beauty of the stars.
Also,
you need to feel truly...
how it's like to be...
a woman beside Yelu Xia.
Stop. Stop it!
Are you blind?
Did you see Yang's army and Commander Yang...
entering the Town?
Go away. Don't block the way.
Stop it!
Commander Yang.
Let them go.
Yes, Commander Yang.
Thank you Commander. Thank you.
Why are there so many deaths...
in Bai Shui City in a period?
What happened anyway?
Report to Commander: They all died of illness.
Died of illness?
What illness?
I'm not sure of that.
But there are not many caught in that illness.
Commander doesn't need to worry.
The landscape of Bai Shui City is flat.
There're no natural defenses.
It's not the best place...
considering it's defense function.
A flat landscape is also detrimental to enemies.
They can't find places to hide.
Their every move...
can't escape our eyes too.
I've already sent 4th and 6th Brother...
to explore the whereabouts of the Liao people...
and also their defense strength at the border.
When they're back, we can draw up strategies.
How's it going outside?
Report to Commander.
There're 5,000 Liao people found at the east...
and north of the city, those stationed outside...
the east of the city but inside a thick forest...
that's 30 miles away are without action so far.
Report to Commander, about 10 miles...
away from the southwest of the city,
there're several Liao's sentries.
But they have yet to action.
They seem to still wait and see.
Hope they'll withdraw without fighting after...
knowing Yang's army is now defending the city.
There should be no wounded and killed ones then.
The people would not suffer either.
But I need to report to Commander one thing.
There're many households running funerals.
I've investigated on that...
there were many people died of an illness...
in Bai Shui City within 10 days.
I'm afraid that's an epidemic widely spread.
Situation is weird. Tighten up investigations.
Although things are strange,
we have to handle them in priorities...
we must weigh the matters carefully.
Dad, I think the main task we should do now is...
the defense work at the pool around the city.
During a battle,
we should not only focus on the enemy.
Also need to pay attention to our internal part.
Otherwise the enemy would grasp their chance.
Of course, I know about that.
Fine. What you said are very reasonable.
The pressing task now is...
to know every single move of the Liao people.
All civic affairs of the city...
should be handled by the local officials.
Master!
How can you go like that?
So how could our child and I go on?
Husband!
You can't leave us behind and die.
Husband!
He is the Master Li of Dong Da Street.
One more died of the same cause!
Are there any other causes?
Even a beggar now would die of the same cause.
I saw it once. Really terrible!
A person is simply alive, but will suddenly...
spit out blood, and dies.
I heard that...
there're worms in the blood spit out.
Really?
Really.
The worms also die.
Really don't know what illness it is.
Those worms were found...
on the dead body of a prostitute who...
died of the venom worms inside her.
Two gentlemen, may I ask...
where's the dead body you mentioned earlier...
buried?
No one is willing to bury a beggar.
They're just put inside the ancestral shrine.
Many died of the illness in the recent 10 days.
Those dead bodies of beggars and travellers...
not claimed by anyone are put there.
If you want to look at that, just go ahead.
This poison is transmittable.
So once there're people get poisoned,
the ones must be quarantined.
Otherwise,
more people will be harmed, and...
only in a few days,
all residents in the town...
would die of the venom.
What're you doing? What're you doing?
All who are ill will be taken away.
Commander, it's just ahead.
Don't worry.
We only take them for medical treatment.
Stand still. What're they doing?
Report to Commander:
I take away these patients to...
prevent the illness from spreading out.
Didn't I talk to you before that...
this matter will be handled by local officials?
Now we're facing a fierce enemy,
and you made such arrangement that will only...
arouse public panic. Do you know about that?
This is not a kind of common illness.
The Luo's lady came across the illness, and...
according to her experience,
it's not an illness,
it's actually...
a kind of poisoning by worms.
It can be transmitted among people.
And the spreading speed is highly fast.
Therefore I...
decided to take away these patients.
To where're you taking us?
We want to go back. We won't go further.
We want to be home, to get back home.
Please keep calm.
I the General felt that...
there's an epidemic emerging in Bai Shui City...
so that I gather all of you together...
for group treatment, so as to...
ensure your safety.
I hope all of you...
could understand this.
All who have got the illness...
go to the government office first and...
stay there temporarily to wait for treatment.
You should absolutely not contact anyone.
Where's Xia Hou Zhan?
These are the fresh fruits...
I just picked from that tree, and...
I am to take this to you to try.
I'm not a cow.
So many, how can I eat them up?
As I don't know...
which fruit you like,
so I just picked one for each type.
I think there should be some you like.
I don't like all of them.
You have to cherish...
the moments we're together.
You have to know...
there're so many women in the world who...
can't enjoy that for the whole life.
I'm exactly that one who...
do not eager for...
the one I like most.
General, I have something to report.
Go!
Come out!
General.
You come to visit me,
but you're not polite as you should be.
Just speak up.
I'm already bored to death right here.
Want to have fun!
You should know what to do!
Haven't you already got a lady for companion?
What else do you want?
That bitch!
I've already got tired of her.
I took her to test medicine for me.
She has become ashes now.
You've gone too far!
You kill ruthlessly, not pardon even a woman.
I don't need you to supervise what I do.
You only need to listen to me,
to cooperate with me to make poison.
And women are something that can cheer me up.
With women, making poison becomes doubly easier.
If there're no women for my pleasure,
then let you alone make the poison.
What? Wanna kill me?
Go ahead!
I just want to see how you face the Empress Xiao
Leave me alone. Let me kill him.
Go away!
You just leave me alone.
I must kill him. Go!
Leave me alone!
KKKill him!
Why don't you let me kill him?
Do you know you almost got to die just now?
As long as I can kill Xia Hou Zhan,
even if I'm to die with him together,
I will not grudge.
Time hasn't come for him to die.
You simply collude with him.
You have been cheating me all the way.
I haven't cheated you.
Xia Hou Zhan is the most despicable...
and shameless guy I've ever met.
I also can't wait to kill him.
I promise you now that...
after all have been done,
I'll tie him up and put him to you...
for you to decide how to handle him.
I won't believe you anymore.
You Liao people are all shameless.
Shameless!
I do that only for defeating the Yang's army.
I do that only for the Great Liao, our people.
Is that shameless?
You use poison to harm the Yang's army.
You're really despicable.
This is a war.
The two parties fight each other for victory...
will use whatever methods available.
If it's something used by Song people,
will you say you're despicable?
Winner is the master while loser is the bandit.
This is the unchanged truth.
Where're you going?
You're going to tell Yang Wu Lang, aren't you?
It's my business, nothing to do with you.
I tell you that's only...
a way to death if you go to Bai Shui City now.
No one can evade Xia Hou Zhan's poison.
I won't let you die with Yang Wu Lang...
in the same year, same month, on the same day.
I won't allow you to go.
You give way...
Give way...
If this is your choice,
I respect you.
Be careful.
