Your family has run into troubles.
I know you must be so eager to be home.
If I were you, I'd have flown back long ago.
But will your dad let me go?
We're only thieves, not bandits.
We won't force others to help us.
Moreover, if we let you go earlier...
you can settle your family's troubles early,
then you can be back to help me.
Is that right?
No.
I should say: What do you think, Mr?
That's great.
Let me settle my family's matters and...
I must come back to find you a groom.
That's what you said.
You have to comply with your promise.
Otherwise,
I'll go alone to Tian Bo House to catch you.
No problem.
Go.
Yang Qi Lang,
you hurry to Tian Bo House...
to see how the situation is there.
Then, after I have settled all matters at home,
I'll go to Flying Tiger Stronghold...
to teach you how to be a fair lady...
and help you find a fair groom.
Okay.
No problem. I trust you.
Hey boss, how much is this bird-cage?
Go
Young master Qi, this way, please...
Young master Qi, young master Qi.
6th Brother. 7th Brother.
How come you're back?
I just arrived.
Do your parents know that?
Of course not.
Why didn't you tell them?
Don't talk about these.
6th Brother, you listen to me
Are you going to have contest with the Liaos?
You've known about that?
I heard about it.
That's a wile by the Liaos...
named Tian Ling.
You must not be trapped by him.
I know they do that for purpose.
But I can't reject to go.
Because this matter relates to...
the reputation of our Yang's family.
But 6th Brother, in case there're any mishaps,
what should we do?
My own life is less important than...
the reputation of Yang's family.
Besides...
this relates to the security of Song.
6th Brother, but...
Alright, don't talk about me.
You've just be back. See mom and dad quickly.
No, dad must still be angry with me.
Well, won't be anymore.
Really?
I'm sure dad hasn't forgiven me so far.
Qi Lang
Dad
Have dad behaved unreasonably?
Dad...
Running away will never solve problems.
It's the time to face the problems.
Dad.
That day I ran away from the prison...
was by no means to evade punishment.
I was compelled to do that.
I could not refuse to escape.
Dad, what 7th Brother said is true.
Dad, mom...
what I've said is true.
I haven't deceived you.
Qi Lang,
Dad and mom...
never suspect you.
Stand up.
That day the prison guard was killed, thus no...
eye-witnesses. It's hard to appeal only with...
your testimony, hard to claim your innocence.
Your 4th Brother and you are too impulsive.
You two act without forethought.
That's why things become so irretrievable now.
Do you know that?
Now things have become this situation,
there's no use to talk about it.
Now, what I'm worried most is...
if Pan Ren Mei knows Qi Lang's back,
there must be troubles.
Of course I know that.
What about...
we temporarily send Qi Lang to...
a safe place, and then...
take time to think of the way out?
Mom, even we have to go, I have to wait till...
after the fight between Liu Lang and Yelu Xia,
will I willing to go then.
7th Brother, I know your concern for me.
But now your situation is in danger,
you'd better listen to mom,
leave Tian Bo House quickly.
Things turn bad now
Master, Madam,
Things turn bad
Pan Ren Mei has led a big troop...
to besiege our Tian Bo House tightly,
and also threatened to arrest Qi Lang.
Qi Lang has just come back.
How could he be well informed about him?
People come
Arrest the Royal-wanted criminal Yang Qi Lang.
Yes.
Wait
Official Pan,
here is Tian Bo House.
Tian Bo House?
Yang Ye,
our nation has its Law.
You connived your son to escape from prison...
and later you shelter the wanted criminal.
Both accusations are capital crimes.
That could bring execution of Yang's family.
General Yang,
Do you think you can ignore the Law...
when you're the Commander?
What're you talking about?
It's you to ignore the Law.
Qi Lang.
Yang Qi Lang, I advise you that...
you'd better surrender and arrest.
I Pan Ren Mei surely won't be lenient today.
Pan's army has besieged tightly Tian Bo House.
Even if you can escape from Tian Bo House,
you can't escape from the City of Bianjing.
You think that we Tian Bo House will fear...
you Pan's army? If Pan's army dare to...
move a step toward Tian Bo House,
Yang's army mustn't be lenient towards you.
Don't ever think you confuse right and wrong.
A person is to be responsible for what he does.
I prepare to fight with you for the worst.
Dad.
Official Pan,
what you said is right.
Yang Qi Lang killed and escaped from prison.
I should hand him to the Emperor.
But,
he's the Royal-wanted criminal, and should be...
arrested and taken to the Royal Government...
to be handled by the Majesty...
but not handed in to you the Prime Minister...
for you to handle him.
Dad.
Give me a rope.
You really do that?
Master
Dad.
Dad. Dad.
Dad will go with you.
Qi Lang.
Dad,
We can't let 7th Brother executed by Pan.
We must think of the way out.
Liu Lang.
Inform the 8th Prince immediately.
Yes.
Your Majesty,
I haven't taught my son well.
So he wrongly killed someone, and later...
he was punished for two years of military exile.
But he was being assassinated by an assassin...
in prison, and so he was compelled to escape.
Nonsense
You said Yang Qi Lang was assassinated.
Where's the assassin?
The jailer was the assassin.
They started the assassination first,
so I was self-defense and fought back.
Do you think you can frame up others...
just by your such one-sided story?
Jailers are loyal to the Royal Government,
they are not assassins.
Master Kou should be very clear about that.
Those several jailers were killed who they...
had worked loyalty to the prison for years.
But there're still doubts for the whole event.
What doubts?
At that time, when Yang Qi Lang was in prison,
I was the guard watching there.
But suddenly...
I felt great pain in my abdomen.
I suspect that...
someone had put drugs in my tea,
so as to lead me away from the prison.
Yang Qi Lang was locked up that time.
He's impossible to put drugs into my tea.
Isn't it so clear?
Yang Qi Lang had his own accomplices.
Prime Minister Pan.
Why is your thinking always...
different from that of others?
The time after Master Kou had left, there're...
ultimately no eye-witnesses on the spot.
So is it the jailer wanted to kill Yang Qi Lang,
or he killed them in order to escape from prison
that is something it can't be concluded.
Moreover,
Yang Qi Lang had been sentenced by...
the Majesty who reduced his penalty to...
two years of military exile.
But why did he still once again...
commit the serious crime of murder?
Exactly.
Majesty, Yang Qi Lang is Yang's youngest son.
He's spoiled to be arrogant. He killed my son...
and doesn't know to repent.
He even killed and escaped from prison.
Your Majesty, if you treat him leniently,
it only draws laughter from the public.
Then the public would think that Majesty...
is scared by the merits of Yang's army,
so you connived Yang Qi Lang's ruthlessness.
Prime Minister,
what you said is too extreme.
I talked about that making reference from...
principles and the Laws.
I have tolerated Yang Qi Lang all the way.
But now I can't bear any longer.
Such a thug should be executed.
Otherwise, the Law is dishonored...
and there should be no laws to abide by.
What Prime Minister Pan said is convincing.
The principles and the Laws should rule.
Now that the death of the jailers is doubtful,
we should investigate fully into the case.
We can't wrong the upright one.
Wrong the upright one?
So Commander Yang is simply shielding faults.
You connive in your son to commit killing.
I'm talking based on reasons and evidences.
The Royal Doctor analysed the tea drank...
and found there're croton oil beans.
So what?
Later I sent people to investigate...
and finally found a farmer who...
pointed out that one of the dead jailers...
once bought croton oil beans from him.
One jailer had bought croton oil beans?
Right.
That should prove...
this jailer had nursed evil intentions.
Also after the death of those jailers,
their families at once moved out of the Capital.
They then bought land and fields in rural home,
and had become rich all of a sudden. I think...
they had been heavily rewarded by someone.
That's what I suspected.
So I investigated from all aspects.
I found these jailers once worked...
for Prime Minister Pan many years ago.
The jailers first bought the croton oil beans,
and were rewarded after death.
That's really unusual.
Your Majesty, I believe that...
the truth is as what my son said. There's...
someone bribed the jailers to harm him.
The dead cannot bear witness.
Majesty, don't listen to his one-sided views.
Whether it's a one-sided story,
it would be clear...
if we continue to investigate.
If that's true, there's much involved in it.
That involves not only several lives.
Prime Minister Pan.
Do you think I'm right?
Your Majesty, hope you think once again.
Prime Minister.
I know you may not be able to recover quickly...
over the suffering of losing your son.
But the tragedy had happened anyway.
If you continue to look into the case,
I'm afraid destruction of good and bad alike.
That's something I don't want to see.
He is the one who killed my son.
Yes.
Yang Qi Lang, your death penalty could be...
pardoned, but not your other sins.
Let's do it like this.
I punish you to be whipped.
Prime Minister, what do you think?
That could offset his sin of escaping from...
prison, but can the penalty of serving...
the military for two years be wiped out?
Of course that should be implemented.
After he's being whipped,
he still has to serve military exile two years.
Yang Qi Lang.
I can tell you...
this is the lightest penalty for you.
Why don't you thank for such a grace?
Thank you Your Majesty.
For the punishment of whipping,
let the Prime Minister to execute.
Your Majesty, as I'm instructed for it,
I'd rather make a suggestion...
A penalty of five whips.
But we should use the Great Silkworm Snake Whip,
that's left by the ancestral Emperor.
The Great Silkworm Snake Whip?
The power of this Whip is unlimited.
Common people cannot afford it.
Your Majesty.
Yang Qi Lang killed three people in a row.
It's valuable for Majesty to grant leniency.
Should you still want to bargain with Emperor?
Your Majesty.
Yang Qi Lang is willing to accept the penalty.
Yang Qi Lang. Take your penalty
Stop
Prime Minister Pan, Yang Ye didn't teach...
his son well, connive in his son's wicked acts,
So Yang Ye should bear the remaining two whips.
Prime Minister Pan,
Quits when you're gained. Show your mercy too.
8th Prince,
Yang Ye is willing to accept punishment.
Really a pair of kind father and a good son.
Good. Let me help accomplish your wish.
Commander Yang.
I'm sorry, dad.
So... sorry.
Dad.
Master and Young master Qi are back.
Master. Dad.
Qi Lang. Dad.
You two sit down first.
8th Prince.
You two should be fine, right?
Fine. Don't be anxious.
That Pan Ren Mei really has gone too far.
He's so ruthless.
Dad should have faced no punishments.
Silly child.
Dad tied you up and took you to the Palace.
I should then take you back.
How could I let you suffer alone?
We can finally come back for a good sleep.
Stop it.
Come.
Go quickly inside the house to cure the wounds.
Quick.
Slower, Dad.
I go to invite Ms. Luo here...
to cure their wounds.
Come.
Take medicines first.
Thank you, Mom.
Dad.
I'm sorry.
Son hasn't been able to earn you glory,
while render you disgraced.
Don't talk too much.
This matter has been resolved.
Dad's already at ease. Don't think too much.
Dad.
Qi Lang has not thought of that...
Dad all the way believes I'm innocent.
So you have always been collecting evidences...
in order to appeal the case for me early.
How will there be parents not love their kids?
Not to mention that your Dad...
knows your temper.
Only because on that day,
all insiders had died.
So the evidence we could have was little.
Dad could only try the best...
to evade Pan Ren Mei's such a trick.
Why didn't you tell me earlier...
so that I wouldn't be so worried?
He's my son.
I'm his Dad.
How come that I would harm him?
Since you know that Qi Lang was wronged,
why did you let him bear the physical suffering?
If Qi Lang successfully escaped all these,
Pan Ren Mei would be in greater hatred as he...
hasn't recovered since the death of his son.
Don't know what other tricks he will use to...
harm Qi Lang again in the future.
What about let him bear it this time so that...
he endures all disgrace to accomplish a task.
That could ease Pan's hatred on the one hand,
And also it could remove Qi Lang...
of the name of prison being wanted.
He doesn't need to hide himself everywhere.
Temporary the matter has been resolved so far.
The only worry is Pan Ren Mei...
does not give up.
Bao.
Today, I failed to kill Yang Qi Lang.
Dad promises you...
I must make him return us double one day.
He'll his heart stabbed by arrows, body torn,
and die without s burial place.
Yang Ye.
You think you can defend you son in safety?
Even if I allow them to escape today,
they could not avoid tomorrow.
I really don't believe that...
no one could conquer you Yang's family.
Tomorrow,
let see how Tian Ling and Yelu Xia...
deal with Yang Liu Lang.
I pay respect to the Majesty.
Pardon the ritual.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
The eyes are sharp, complexion's fair.
It's really a good horse.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
It's the Royal horse of Empress Xiao.
It's named Running-wind Warrior Horse.
I'm honorable to be given it for the race,
and that's for your country to see...
the power of our Liao's war horses.
Good.
This good horse matches with a capable general.
I have the same idea.
Yang Liu Lang.
I gave this valuable horse for you to run race.
It must win over the Running-wind Warrior Horse.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Liao and Song will each send a warrior...
so as to compete fairly in the race.
The rule of the race is...
the one who get the flag at the front,
the one wins.
During the race, one should stop when one's...
already ahead and must not harm any lives...
so as to avoid conflicts between Liao and Song.
On your mark Go
What does it mean of this Great Liao's army...
are having miraculous and subtle strategies?
It seems they are meretricious.
Majesty, we can't underestimate the enemy.
Yelu Xia's skills are...
superior to Yang Liu Lang's,
Liao's people are merely unlucky today.
If they fought with all their strength,
it'd be unable to predict who would win.
What Prime Minister said was sound.
Though the Liao's army and generals ferocious,
you need to stop at the appropriate moment.
Maybe they really want a peaceful negotiation.
That may be possible.
Then when they are in the Capital,
Prime Minister helps me...
to explore well what they think.
I have had that idea long ago.
You deserve the applause of being meticulous.
Your Majesty, you're over-praised
Prime Minister,
Why haven't I never heard about that...
you have a daughter?
Such trivial family matter not worth mentioning.
Although your daughter is a female,
she's exceptionally brave.
She rescued me from critical time.
She's really my lucky star.
Your Majesty, you are over-praised.
She's pretty and wise at the age of 16.
She makes a good match with Yang Liu Lang.
People will envy such a fair couple.
My daughter and Yang Liu Lang...
are only friends.
She's too young to perform rituals well.
Therefore people will misunderstand her.
I will go back and...
teach my daughter well.
Prime Minister, you're sometimes...
too harsh.
The youths can't accept stern restrictions.
To compare strength,
there is only Yang Wu Lang...
in the Yang's army can fight with me.
This time Yang Liu Lang has won,
is only a result of his a bit intelligent...
together with one hundred percent of luck.
Luck...
can decide one's life and death.
All those who're Emperors throughout history,
are not necessarily the smartest and greatest.
It's their greatest luck to earn them the post.
I don't believe a person who will...
encounter good luck the whole life.
I only believe in strength.
General Yelu,
are you still very wise now?
That's right.
Fate and situation change at any moment.
A person is like that, and...
so is a country.
Then what's the fate of our Great Liao.
That Yang Liu Lang...
is really a jinx to us Great Liao.
Things develop opposite when become extreme.
The universe is in opposition.
They facilitate as well as expel each other.
Although Yang Liu Lang's destined to jinx Liao,
there's gradually changes...
happening around him.
There's a cursed stuff not noticed by others...
is now growing quietly.
If we can make use of it,
the Great Liao can change its fate.
Yang Liu Lang is not important any more then.
A cursed stuff around Yang Liu Lang?
What Royal General referring to is...
that lady...
Wrong. Time hasn't been ripe yet.
It's too early to talk about that.
Let's wait and see.
Are you here, Princess?
Prlmn...
I know you don't want to see me.
I know you're angry with me.
From now on...
let's not quarrel for...
the matters about Ms. Pan. Can we?
She and I...
are only friends.
If there's more, she's only my sister.
Don't you understand my heart?
You're the only one in my heart.
No one can make me change my heart.
If you get angry,
if your mind feel uneasy,
you just cry out.
It's alright for you to scold me, hit me.
But please don't lock yourself in the room...
and just sit dull there. Can you?
It's alright.
If you've already eased your mind,
you just go and look for me.
So I'm going now.
I really go now.
Ms. Pan.
Uncle Mute said Liu Lang came here to find me.
Where's he now?
Liu Lang really came here.
But he came here to look for me.
I'm sorry, Princess. I was afraid...
you would feel unhappy when you saw him.
That's why I let him go.
From now on...
let's not quarrel for...
the matters about Ms. Pan. Can't we?
She and I are only friends.
If there's more, she's only my sister.
Don't you understand my heart?
You're the only one in my heart.
No one can make me change my heart.
You cry again You cry again
Why should you cry?
Don't cry
You're really a talent difficult to find.
Ms. Pan Ying.
The Great Song will change because of you.
What're you saying?
Now you don't need to understand what I said.
You only need to follow your heart...
to unveil your hidden essence,
so that the real you...
will gradually emerge.
At that time, you'll gradually understand that.
The real me?
Let me go. I don't belong to here. I go back...
to Prime Minister's House. I'm his daughter.
There's an order from the Prime Minister.
You have to reform yourself here...
and can't leave the mountain.
May Buddha preserve us
I must leave here.
I don't belong to here.
Come, accompany me the Great to drink.
Come, little beauty
Today, I really have a hard day.
You have to accompany us to have great fun.
Come, have drinks with me. Come Come Come
What other martial skills you can teach me?
Martial skills?
My babe, all our skills were already...
imparted on to you.
Yes.
Only with all our skills,
you can already enjoy more than you need...
for dealing with the world? Do you agree?
Yes, exactly
This... this...
There's really nothing else...
you all can teach me.
Then why should I still have to serve you all?
Why let me see all these?
This is not me Ms. Pan
Not me Ms. Pan Ms. Pan
Ms. Pan, how are you?
Ms. Pan, how are you feeling anyway?
Ms. Pan, how are you?
Princess, Uncle Mute, what happened?
What happened just now?
I got a bad dream.
No problems now. No problems now.
Uncle Mute,
I feel that Ms. Pan...
seems a bit strange.
Very suspicious
Even if a normal person is having a nightmare,
one should not have such big response.
That Ms. Pan Ying has just been...
like being caught by evil spirits.
It's really horrible.
She seemed to have changed to another person.
She's really changed to another person?
Or she's been covering all the way...
the real her that's hideous and cruel.
Uncle Mute.
Princess, your life experience is inadequate.
Just now we pushed her to the ground.
After settling her emotion,
she resumed her gentle temperament immediately.
She has pretended all these all the way.
Princess,
I think we'd better understand well...
Ms. Pan Ying's background.
Lest we bring in a troublemaker.
Mistress,
do you know why Prime Minister Pan...
sent his daughter to the...
Jing Xin Nunnery since she was small?
Because Pan Ying could not win the favour of...
Prime Minister for her since she's small.
So that she was sent to here.
It's that simple?
Isn't it because...
there're other secret reasons?
Those are other's family matters.
People in monastery should not ask too much.
Mistress.
You eye-witnessed Ms. Pan growing up.
You should the one understands her most.
So may I ask what's her real character?
Is she really pure and pleasant as she looks?
Since Pan Ying was small,
she's clever, temper is amiable.
Her mother died when she's small.
And she could not win her father's favour.
She's really pitiful.
But she could live in monastery to get nurtured,
without hatred and remorse. That's valuable.
So Mistress you also feel that her nature is...
pure, gentle and benevolent.
Yes.
Why did Princess suddenly ask all these?
Is it that Pan Ying has created troubles...
after she left the monastery?
No, it isn't.
I only want to know more about her.
By the way,
May I ask Princess...
Why Mistress?
Why didn't you ask Prime Minister directly?
Just as what Mistress said earlier...
we should not ask others family affairs.
May Buddha preserve us
That's right.
No need to know thoroughly about every matter.
It may not be bad for us...
to leave something aside without a real picture.
Mistress.
Princess,
I don't know whether I have already...
cleared your doubts.
Yes, you have. Thank you.
Then, I have to lead my disciples...
to read mantras and cultivate their mind.
So I can't talk with you any longer.
Then I'm sorry for having disturbed Mistress.
I go now.
Not at all.
I only want to know a bit more about her.
Mistress.
It's my fault.
If I could have realized earlier that...
Mistress was threatened by someone,
she would not have been killed.
Who Princess thought the killer is?
Pan Ying.
Just imagine, Mistress is people in monastery.
She does not have enemies.
She's not killed earlier or later,
but just killed during the time when I went...
to ask about Pan Ying's background.
She's really become desperate.
By the way, is she in her residence these days?
What're her doing?
She's not there.
She said she returned to Prime Minister House...
to see her father.
Isn't it so coincident?
Who will believe she's not the killer?
What you said is reasonable.
But,
I must be able to find the evidence.
Why can a person be changed all of a sudden?
And also she's changed to be so wicked.
Are people's true selves really not imaginable?
Princess.
I think you should talk with Yang Liu Lang.
That Pan Ying...
we don't know what she will do next.
I know.
But you also know about the relation...
between me and Yang Liu Lang these days.
I really don't want to face him.
I understand that.
But if all these are really as...
what Princess conjectured, that...
Pan Ying could...
do anything desperately,
especially when...
the opposite of love is hate...
Do I really need to go?
No matter what happened,
you two are friends anyway.
It's after all necessary to alert him.
Daughter greets Dad.
How come you become so good to your father?
Dad, you're really skilful in joking?
A daughter should always be good to her dad.
Not to mention I've lived in Chai's House...
for so long. It's natural for me to miss Dad.
I guess Dad must miss me too.
These few words...
really warm your Dad's heart.
As such the case,
why don't you move here to live with us?
Does Dad really want me to move back here?
Or...
Or what? Say it clearly.
Say it clearly?
Yes.
Dad may have felt that...
the Majesty has a good impression on me. So he...
wants me to be back to Prime Minister House,
lest the Prime Minister loses face...
if the Majesty or outsiders know that I've...
been living in the residence of the Princess.
My good daughter,
you're really smart.
Daughter doesn't want Dad to lose face,
and also doesn't want to bring Dad troubles.
You really changed a lot.
I think my good daughter
should not be so simple as that...
you come back just because you want to be back.
I got back home this time...
will not raise any unreasonable demand.
But I have been alone outside,
now if I come back,
should Dad...
prepare a sedan...
to deliver your daughter back?
That honor is Dad's honor.
Then Princess could see Dad and I reconcile...
so that I, as Prime Minister's daughter...
could then have my weight.
Dad, do you think what I said is right?
Pan Ying, you're really not simple.
So that means Dad has promised me.
Of course.
As both of us are so candid with each other,
we should care for each other too.
That's fine.
Then I go to prepare for that.
I just wait for Dad to take me back.
Daughter leaves now.
Dad.
If you have encountered troubles,
I must protect you.
Will you?
Then I have to see whether...
you're Dad's good daughter or not.
Even friends should...
help each other, and now...
not to mention we're dad and daughter.
Now you uttered those words.
Can Dad just watch with folded arms?
Daughter thanks Dad then.
I just wait for Dad's sedan to take me back.
