Announcing Jing Ke, Envoy of Yan state,has come to the court.
Now that the Prince has given us his blessings for the journey,I, Jing Ke, have no regrets. A toast to His Highness!
Assassination only attacks the symptom, not the root cause.
Will eliminating Ying Zheng guarantee peace on earth?
Were it not for Qin State's formidable power,
there would be many more contestants than Ying Zheng alone with the desire to rule all of China.

The Legend of Qin{Episode 1}
The times are turbulent* and matters of this world evolve.(Idiom: The wind rises, and the clouds scud)
Ying Zheng, King of Qin, swept across the land.
And in 221 BC, he unified China.
It was named "Great Qin".
Ying Zheng became Emperor, and named himself Shi Huang Di*.(First Emperor)
Qin Shi Huang chose Xianyang as his capital,and divided China into 36 provinces.
He built Xianyang as a crossroads to various parts of the country.
He standardized the currency, measurements, scripts, and roads.
He confiscated all weapons, and forged them into 12 copper men to be placed at Xianyang Palace.
In 215 BC, Qin Shi Huang ordered Meng Tianto banish the Huns.
After that, he started to build the Great Wall,which rose from Lintao in the West
and reached Liaoning in the East.The greatness of the engineering project was unrivaled.
The construction of the Great Wall was pressing.
[16 years later]All regions were required to supply more working hands.
As per orders, our County Lord
has decided to enlist 200 able-bodied men from your village.
Within three days, they are to hurry to the Northern Prefecture.Let there be no mistake!
Da Mao, what's wrong with you?
I can't.
- I can't walk any further. - Da Mao! Da Mao!
- What are you doing? - Leave!
It's such a hot day and you're forcing us to make haste.Do you not want us to live?
Exactly!
Stop your nonsense!
- They are rebelling!- Let me through!
Let me through! Da Mao! Da Mao, what's wrong?
Come with me!
- What are you doing? - You little brat!
You again! Trying to make everyone rise in rebellion, aren't you?
Bastard!
Brat! Go die!
Are you tired of living, brat!?
Stop! Stop fighting! Someone's dead!
[Jing Tian Ming]
Da Mao!
Da Mao! Da Mao, what's wrong?
What's happened?
- Quickly, go notify County Lord Wei.-Yes!
Why are you like this? What happened?
What's wrong? What exactly happened?
Ghost...ghost...
Put more strength into your wrist. Hold steady as you swing.
Your Majesty.
This is an urgent report from Hengshan provinceI humbly believe you might want to see it.
[Ying Zheng] You also think that this is the child from that year?
[Zhao Gao] Yes.
At that time, I knew you were pregnant with another man's child!
I didn't argue with you about it, but this child's birth father...
actually planned to kill me today!
Just a little closer, and I would have died at his hands!
And right now you still have the nerve to beg me?
I know my sins are unpardonable.
I only hope that through my death, I may redeem my son's life.
The child's identity shall be buried with me in the netherworld.
Your Majesty will no longer have to fear being backstabbed.
And I hope you will show mercy.
It's been 13 years.
I never thought that I'd really be able to find him once again.
Go prepare the bodyguards. We must move secretly and wipe out the source of trouble.
We must not leak the information.
As you wish.
[Ge Nie]
Commander, what's wrong?
Ge Nie has left Xianyang City?
[Dong Guo Zhi]
I should tell Miss Rong.
She's been waiting for this news for thirteen years!
You...What did you just say?
Quick, activate the news network.
Send this information out as fast as you can.
- Quick! - Yes.
Good, good, good.
Under Dong Guo Zhi's order,the news spread rapidly across the Mohist network.
The Mohist network was complicated and vast.
Like stars, they were spread throughout the country.
After hiding for so many years,
[Crown Prince Dong] in the end, he still didn't hide well enough.
You despicable thing!
You're still not leaving?
[Su Ying]
Da Si Ming.
At your service.
What is Shao Si Ming doing?
Are these the results of her work?
[Da Si Ming]Calm down, My Lord.I will send her a letter to get to the bottom of this.
- Let's go home. - Uncle Wang.
- Tian...Tian Ming!- It's me.
- Aunt Li! - Tian Ming. Quick! Go go go!
Quick, get inside! It's Tian Ming! Quick quick quick!
Dad! Mom!
Tian Ming! Tian Ming! Let's go! Let's go home, okay?
- Look at what you've done! - Wait. Dad, Mom.
- What are you talking about? - Son, you've gotten yourself into big trouble!
Wife, call for Huang Ban Xian quickly. Tell him to prepare to come immediately.
- This has gotten out of hand! Go quickly!- All right.
- Village Chief.- 5th Sister-in-law.
I must take Tian Ming away today. You must understand.
No, no, you can't. Our son was possessed.
I'm going to ask Huang Ban Xian to exorcise him, then it'll be fine. You mustn't take him away.
It doesn't matter if he is or isn't possessed.
Tian Ming killed the soldiers. That's the truth. The villagers who escaped all saw it!
What? Killed the soldiers? How can that be?
Ah ya, Tian Ming. Defying the Emperor's order is a capital crime.
Moreover, you killed all the soldiers. If I don't rush you to the Feudal Official to turn yourself in,
our entire village, young and old, will have no choice but to die!
- You can't! - Wait. Wait! Village Chief, you know me.
- It's hard for me to kill a chicken, how could I kill a man? - Yes, yes. It's true!
Take him, take him, take him!
- Village Chief! - Dad! Mom!
- Don't take him away! How could he have killed a person? I'm begging you!- Dad!
- Tian Ming! - Don't take away the child, Village Chief!- I don't have a choice.
[Shao Si Ming]
[Jing Tian Ming's location has been revealed.Hide him well quickly.]
Village Chief, I really didn't kill anyone! I really didn't kill anyone!
Tian Ming, stop shouting. Shouting isn't going to help you. I can't help you either.
Chief! Don't go! Hey, don't go!
I really didn't kill anyone!
How is that you're here?
You knew I was in trouble, so you came to save me?
Only you are good to me. They...They all don't believe me,
and want to send me to the Feudal Official.
Tell me what your name is. This act of kindness,
I will definitely repay you.
Why aren't you talking? We've kind of known each other for so many years.
I still don't know your name.
Just pretend that I'm a figment of your imagination.
A figment of my imagination?
Crown Prince Dong has ordered that from this day forth, that child is under your care.
Protect him from the shadows. You mustn't be discovered.
If he's in trouble, you must protect him from death.
Yes.
You're really a figment of my imagination?
If you really are a figment of my imagination,
does that mean I can do whatever I want?
Aren't you a figment of my imagination?Why does it still hurt so much?
Who are you? What do you want?
If you want to live, then come with me.
If you still refuse to be more obedient,
don't you believe that I'll tie you to a tree?
Ge Nie, you scoundrel.
After hiding from reality* for 13 years,you finally have the nerve to come out?(Idiom: A turtle hiding its head)
Sooner or later, you'll have to pay for the sins you committed.
[Duanmu Rong] Today, I'm going to kill you to avenge my brother!
Your brother?
Ha. So your sins are so heavy that you don't even remember who you've harmed?
Your brother?
It's him.
- You're Duanmu? - Yes!
I'm Duanmu Rong. I really regret saving you that year.
Divine Doctor Duanmu Rong.
That year, it definitely was you who saved me.
That year, if the Mohists hadn't saved you,you'd have died long ago!
Yet you took our kindness for granted,
and exchanged my brother's life for wealth and splendor,
betraying the trust of the Mohists to become Ying Zheng's lackey!
How was Mr. Gui Gu fooled into
accepting a beast like you as his disciple? Ghost Valley's hundred-year reputation has been ruined by your hands!
- I... - What?
What other excuse do you have?
No.
- I have nothing to say to you. - You have nothing to say to me?
Then hand over your life!
I don't want to kill you. If you want to get your revenge on me,
you'll have the chance later, but not today.
If I don't kill you today, how will I know if you're going to hide for another ten years?
A Mohist doctor that can actually use poison?
If you won't show me kindness, I won't play fair.This is my poisonous attack...
Scoundrel, don't run away!
I know it's you! Let go of me! I want to go back and save my parents!
I beg you to let me go! I want to go home to save my parents!
Let go of me quickly!
It's him! Over there!
Let's go over there and check!
Dad? Mom?
Dad?
Son, why have you returned?
Why did you come back? It wasn't easy getting you out! Do you want to worry your parents to death?
That's right. There aren't any soldiers right now.Leave quickly! Leave quickly!
- No, no, if I leave, we leave together. - Son!
So you were here!
Don't come closer! I know martial arts!
Mom, stay behind me.
Don't come any closer.
Take that! Take that! Take that!
Don't come closer, I have martial arts!
How is it? Are you alright?
You dare to trick me!?
I told you that I know marital arts, why would I trick you?
Come with me.
I'm taking my parents with us!
Either we go together, or we die together!
Then I'll protect you guys. Let's go!
Let's go!
His Majesty's favorite subordinate, Mr. Ge.
I didn't expect that you were actually a traitor.
On account of the many years we've worked together, hand them over to me.
Do me a favor
and exchange your life for honor and wealth for me.
You will not have to die in vain then.
Attack!
Don't come over!
It's alright, I have trained before.
Come then.
Never mind. Quick, run!
Follow me. Don't leave my side.
Hurry.
- Great martial arts! - Amazing! Amazing!
Son!
Uncle, save me!
Help!
Uncle!
Take aim!
Shoot!
- Uncle.- Watch out!
Brothers, attack!
Uncle! Uncle! Are you all right?
Uncle! What...What do I do?
Attack!
Don't move.
Uncle.
- Attack!- Uncle, watch out!
Uncle!
Uncle, uncle!
What happened? Uncle, wake up!
Aren't you a doctor? Find a way to save him!
Has Uncle died? It looks like he isn't breathing.
If he dies after I've hit his seven pressure points,I wouldn't be considered a doctor.
Why are you so worried about him?
He saved me and my parents.
He's my saviour.
Your saviour? Don't you know that he is--
Quick, take a look at him! He's looking worser and worser.
Nonsense. If I say that his breathing won't stop, it won't.
Aren't you a doctor? Find a way to save him!
He is Jing Ke's son.
He's Brother Jing's son? Who's he fooling?
How could Big Brother have sired such a useless son who can't even tell right from wrong?
Quick, take a look. He doesn't seem to have a pulse anymore!
- If you don't shut up, don't you believe that I'll stab him? - No, no, no! Don't, don't, don't.
Mom, Dad, what did the Chief say?
The Chief said that this issue has gotten out of hand.
The soldiers will definitely come again in a few days.
This...
But everyone's already discussed it.
We've decided to hide in the mountains together.
In a year and a half, when all is calm*,(Idiom: Breeze is still, waves are quiet)
we'll come out again and look for a place to start a new life.
It seems that's our only option. When will we leave?
We'll leave when every family has packed their stuff.
- Right.- Let's hurry and pack then.
I'd advise you to come with me.
What?
If you go with them, you'll have the whole village killed with you.
What do you mean?
Are you stupid? Didn't you notice that they were charging after you today?
If you go with them, they will be hunted down by those soldiers every day.
At that time, will you protect them?
We can hide. That way, the soldiers won't find us.
If you come with me, we can enter a forest and no one will find us.
If you go with them, how will you hide with a hundred people?
Little rascal, use your brain a little!
Son, Miss Duanmu is right.
Mom!
Mom and Dad are useless!
We can't protect you, do you understand?
Follow Miss Duanmu and Hero Ge.
In any case, you'll have path to survival. Do you understand?
Did you hear that?
But they are my parents. How can I just ignore them?
Is that true?
Tian Ming.
There are some things
that I must tell you.
Tian Ming.
So he really is.
Dad.
Mom.
What exactly is going on?
Tian Ming.
This is what happened.
Quick, quick! Bring the child inside.
Okay.
Child, what is your name?
Where do you live?
Was this given to you by your parents?
Think carefully.
Can you remember anything?
Tian Ming.
Although we didn't bear you,
we...
really treated you as our biological son.
Tian Ming.
Dad.
Mom.
Son.
Enough.
We'll make do and rest here.
Do you know who he is? Why are you so nice to him?
He's my saviour. He's a great person.
A great person? You don't even know how many people he's killed and you think he's a great person?
Uncle has the look of a righteous hero. If he does kill, it would be the bad people.
He only kills bad people? My foot! You really can't tell what's right from wrong. You'd take a foe for your father!
Why did you stop?
Keep on talking.
You know that you're not making sense, so you can't say anymore, can you?
I wouldn't be able to explain it to a brat like you.
This brat knows how to repay kindness.Besides, this life of mine was saved by Uncle.
I'm going to protect him. I won't let you hurt him.
When his wounds have healed, I even want to become his disciple!
I've never met anyone as good at martial arts as he is.
He lives up perfectly to the name of "Sword Saint".
Once I've learned his martial arts,I'll be the legendary, world-shaking Sword Saint.
Hey, where are you going?
Weren't you complaining of hunger?
That crazy hag can be rather sensible.
Brother, oh, brother. How could you have sired such an ingrate?
Uncle,
look at how great I'm treating you. When you wake up, you must acknowledge me.
I'm telling you.If you take me as your disciple, you won't lose in any way.
Uncle,
you just don't know it.
I am a true martial arts genius.
Did you see the millstone in the village's empty field?
I can raise it with a single hand.
When I encounter hooligans in the streets, I can take on eight alone.
Look at how lithe I am.
My palm can splice trees. My body is flexible and strong.
You didn't split your pants, did you?
How could I have forgotten my task at hand?
You...What's it to you?
Here.
After you've cleaned, skinned, and cooked it, call me over.
Okay, okay, okay.
The situation is still under control. I will monitor him along the way and report at anytime.
Sister Rong, it's done.
Oh yeah, Sister Rong. How did the rabbit die?
When I was cleaning it just then, I didn't see any puncture wounds.
I poisoned it.
- Why didn't you tell me earlier? - You didn't ask.
You're crazy! You're crazy!
Crazy. Crazy.
How did I meet such a crazy woman?
Water.
- Water.- Uncle, what's wrong?
Water. Water.
Water?
I'll get you some water.
Water.
If we go on like this, I'll be dead meat sooner or later.
Crazy woman, pervert, blood-stained, murderer!
Uncle, we have to leave this place quickly.
Water...
- Water...- Uncle, stop talking. If she discovers us, we'll be dead.
Forget about water.
- Come, let's check over there.- Okay.
Uncle, are you all right?
Uncle!
Help! Help!
Brother, come here quickly. There are two people here.
Warriors.
Please save us. We fell in by accident.
Grab a rope and pull them out.
Here.
Hold on tightly.
Be careful.
Thank you for saving us.
- It's alright. Be careful where you walk from now on.- Yes.
This is no ordinary sword.
Whoever owns this sword...
Kid, who exactly are you? Why do you have such a weapon?
I... I'm just an ordinary person.
We just got here and already met someone like this. We have to be cautious.
All right. Take them away and interrogate them.
- Let's go.- I... I really am just an ordinary person!
What are you arresting me for?
Let go! Be more gentle!
I really am an ordinary man!
- Let me go!- Walk, faster!
Quickly!
Hurry up.
Move.
Let go of me!
Who are you guys?!What did you arrest us for?! We have nothing against you!
This brat.
Uncle?
Uncle, how are you holding up?
- Young Master.- General.
[Shao Yu]
Where did you guys catch this...stinky brat?
We didn't catch him. We picked him up. He himself
fell into our wild boar trap.
Brat,
you sure know how to pick a place.
If you fall in it, you wouldn't be any better than me.
Didn't he fall in it too? Why isn't he like you?
Shao Yu.
[Xiang Liang]Is this the time to joke around?
Oh.
Where is that sword that you were talking about?
Yuan Hong?
Could it be that he is...?
This...
Ge Nie?
I'll give you credit for recognizing him.
That's right!He is the number one, world-shaking swordsman, Ge Nie!
And I...
am his blood-related disciple,
Ge Tian Ming.
What motive do you guys have for coming here? Say it now!
You're still so young, yet you've become Ying Zheng's lackey.
And you're with Ge Nie, this shameless man!
What?
