Mister! Two Misters! You are both here! Let me tell you!
Not good! Not good! Something big happened today!
This situation
has shaken the whole Xian Yang.
Prince Fu Su
will be holding an
opening at Ju Xian Tang.
All the able and skilled people...
and something about doing something
for the country and the people.
He wants to be like Mang Yun Jun.
Feed three thousand guests.
No matter if it's Fu Su, or Ju Xian Tang, or country matters
it has nothing to do with me.
Lao Cui,
you have no more wine in here. Let's go make more wine.
Mister, let's go take a look. Mister.
We're going to make some wine.
You stay here and watch the house. We're going to mix wine.
Eh... Mister!
It's been over a year.
I'm alive and back again.
Ju Xian Tang, looking for able men
regardless of their social status.
Able men will be able to serve the country.
What are you doing?
Go over there to see.
It says, "To all able and virtuous men..."
- Let me see. - What are you doing? Go away.
Aiyah.What kind of person are you?
What are you doing?
What person is this? Let's go.
You're not looking anymore?
I'll look at it myself.
Prince Fu Su is hosting a Ju Xian Tang.
Big Miss.
Liu Bang is back.
Young Sir Liu, it's been long since we last met.
Lu Gang must have been well.
Liu Bang has missed you while traveling outside.
Good. Good. Please sit. I have something to ask you.
Lu Gong, why is it that I haven't seen you in a year, and all your hair is white?
This is because of Lu Su.
Ever since she left, I have been worried day and night.
Not long after, my hair became white.
According to the rumors before you came back, she had caught up to your team.
Afterwards, she left without a word.
Do you know how she is right now?
Oh. Lu Gong is worried about Second Miss's situation.
Yes.
Aiyah. Really. That Second Miss.
I thought she already sent a letter home informing you that she is safe.
Really.
How can she let an elder worry?
So Little Sister is ok.
Then you've seen her? Is she well?
I saw her as I was leaving Xiang Yang and asked her why she left without a word.
She said that she couldn't stop worrying about Xiao Chuan's illness.
She had to go back and take care of him.
Who could have thought that with her attentive care,
Xiao Chuan came back to life.
Those two
were afraid that you would get angry,
so they haven't come back.
Finally, they've arrived at Xian Yang.
They even set their roots there.
Could they already be married?
Sir Yi,
could it be that you don't know. I'm painfully waiting for you here?
How can you disappoint me like this?
If I had known earlier it was going to be this way,
I wouldn't have chased Xiao Chuan away,
nor pressured Lu Shu into marrying Chen family's son
and cause her to suffer.
Your real intention was to benefit Second Miss.
Look. Yi Xiao Chuan and I are sworn brothers.
I should be on his side, but I'm understanding.
I forcefully tried to convince Second Miss to return home.
But who would've known that she would leave without a word.
This time I've heard rumors
that are compliments about you.
And it is thanks to your smarts that you saved all of their lives.
This has spread throughout the whole Pie Xian. The patrol officer is very righteous.
That is thanks to everyone's love.
I, Liu Bang, only used 10% of wits.
How it is possible to achieve such miraculous efficacy?
During this past year that I've been away, my heart's been thinking about
the marriage I spoke to you about last time.
Sir Liu, don't worry. My say is the final word.
This past year, everything that has reached my ears
are all words praising you.
Regarding this, I am quite satisfied.
I will discuss this with Zhi Er and choose a conspicuous day.
Liu Bang thanks Lu Gong for his help.
No need.
I don't agree.
Zhi Er.
You're too rude.
Sir Liu especially came to visit. How can you be so rude?
Father,
I am also worry about Little Sister,
which is why I acted in such
I hope Sir Liu Bang can forgive me.
Of course.
Please say it.
Then I'll say it.
Sir, you bring words forward,
but other than that, you bring nothing else.
First, we haven't seen any sent letters.
Secondly, we haven't seen little sister in person.
As her older sister, I naturally cannot put my heart at ease.
If I can't first see that my sister is healthy, I will not even consider my own matters.
Of course.
Zhi Er.
Xian Yang is thousand miles away.
If you want to see Little Sister,
you can't just say "go" and that's it.
Plus, Sir Liu just returned to Pie Xian
and has yet to settle.
Father, have you not heard?
Prince Fu Su has (sent a) notice to the whole world to do a Ju Xian Tang looking for skilled men.
Since Sir Liu is self-proclaimed to be Pie Xian's hero,
well known,
of course he should go to Xian Yang and compete.
If Sir Liu is really the people's Dragon Phoenix,
and shines through,
it shouldn't be a problem.
At that time,
if you come back and talk about marriage, it wouldn't be too late.
This... I have given it some thought but I am out of traveling money.
Since Sir Liu has this sort of ambition, we can't stand here and do nothing.
Eh, Father.
Why don't we help and pay for the traveling expenses
and travel with Sir Liu to Xian Yang.
One, we can help him get a position.
Two, we can visit sister and see if she's well.
Don't you feel that this way, we'd be solving two problems with one move?
Zhi Er, this idea is great.
Sir Liu, now you don't have to worry about the traveling expenses.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Of course, if Sir Liu isn't willing,
Father and I won't force you.
Anyway, at that time,
Xian Yang will be full of talented people.
I can absolutely go there
to find a husband of my dreams.
Eh, eh, eh. I'll go. I'll go.
Since Lu Gong is helping,
Liu Bang cannot reject his good intentions.
I'll go back and prepare.
We'll leave immediately.
Good-bye.
Xian Yang
Sir Liu, why did we stop?
The road ahead is jammed up.
A horse carriage can't travel on it.
Looks like we'll have to walk over there.
Okay.
I might as well see some of Xian Yang's local customs and traditions.
I really couldn't imagine that
this time, so many abled-people would be here.
They are looking for worthy people (for government jobs). Those with scholarly or martial abilities
can apply. Looks like these are probably common soldiers.
I beg to differ.
Many people seem to be royal descendants of the previous six kingdoms.
It seems like Prince Fu Su's courage
is not small.
Father, look.
I think they are all normal villagers that never seen before a parade.
Ah ya, the lord (prince) is currently in the carriage and has such great fortune to be in it.
We are only speculating and have poor lives.
This is what a great man should be.
How can I be content with just being a standby guest?
This Liu Bang's appearance can be gentle,
but he's rather ambitious. He is just lazy and lacks determination.
Miss, why are you looking at me like that?
Oh. I just want to see what kind of fate will you hold.
However,
I can only see 4 words.
Eyes. High. Hands. Low.
What's so great about that?
The day when I replace Qin, I will definitely make it grander.
You can't speak such nonsense.
Let's go quickly.
Yu'Er, I really admire your heart and ambition.
But this is Xie Yang City.
This is Qing country's territory. We have to be careful while we're here.
Otherwise, we'll start a fire and burn ourselves.
Wasn't it Uncle who always taught me to be responsible to rebuild Chu kingdom?
Then why did you bring me here to be recruited into Qin's workforce?
That's right, this is what I have taught you.
But right now Qin is still strong, we can't fight.
We can only relax and wait for the right time. We have to enter the Ju Xian Tang.
First off, we can make friends with the people of the world and the six countries' younger generation
in order to prepare for our future.
Secondly, Prince Fu Su will likely be the crown prince.
We have to look for inside information on him. This is called 'know yourself, know your enemy'.
Don't you see?
There are many descendants from the previous six kingdoms.
Maybe their goals are not too far from ours.
You're right.
Then we will greet these heroes.
That's it.
Mister Yu, long time no see.
You are too polite.
Please...
How is your family?
Good.
If you run into any difficulties come look for me.
Okay.
You two, move out of the way.
I'll go. I'll go.
Move it. Move it. Move it.
Move it. Don't you hear? Move it.
You two. You. You. Move out of the way.
Move it. Move it.
Move it.
Move it. Move it.
You two, don't block me from looking at the scenery.
Don't block me.
You old drunk, what nonsense are you saying?
You don't want to live?
I'm drunk, so I speak nonsense.
You're not drunk, but why are you
arguing with a drunk?
Eh, Lao Cui,
let me have a drink.
Xiao Chuan!
Why are you here?
Why have you become like this?
I've always been like this.
Are you embarrassing the sect?
You...
Teacher.
Disciple respectfully greets Teacher.
Look. Look at you. A young and promising disciple,
in just a few days, has become a moral degenerate.
If I knew this was going to happen,
I wouldn't have let you leave the sect.
Come with me.
Let's go.
Eh, where are you taking our mister?
What should we do, Mr. Cui?
Come on, come on, come on...
This is my nephew Xiang Yu. This is my disciple Yi Xiao Chuan.
Where are you from?
I am Chu Kingdom's Xiang Family's descendant.
Oh... descendants from the royals.
Left side please.
Why do you separate left and right to sit down?
The right side is so packed, and the left side is so spacious.
You don't understand.
For this event, the heroes are divided into different levels.
Royalties from the previous kingdom, nobles are considered nobles.
Left is high and right is low.
Oh. Yu'Er. Look.
There are quite a few civilians who are here to sign up.
The right side is full.
Let's go and greet our friends from the six kingdoms.
Next.
Shao Country Lord also came! How are you?
What is your birth status?
Ordinary people.
Right side. Right side. Right side is good.
Thank you.
I'm not like them. I'm not an ordinary person.
May I ask what is your name?
Patrol officer Liu Bang.
Sit down on the right side.
Patrol officer, I am.
I manage a five mile area. How can I be the same as them?
I should sit on that side.
Patrol officer has no rank. They are the same as ordinary citizens.
Why waste so many words? Really.
You see that?
Can't even see the words.
Go quickly.Next.
This dog is looking lowly on others.
Then Sir, you must be looking down on us.
Then you must have the dog's eyes.
Actually, I don't mind whether I sit here or sit there.
Just tolerate a little.
I'll sit here.
We are not sitting next to a patrol officer, sir.
Xiao Chuan.
Where are we?
This is Ju Xian Tang. Be more appropriate.
There are royal descendants from the six kingdoms around us.
Don't make teacher lose face again.
Okay.
- Then I'll... - Don't sit here.
I don't mind that you sit down. Too bad we don't have any more seats.
San Bao, sit.
What is going on?
Why did she come here too?
I can't lose face in front of Lu Zhi.
I have to think of a way.
Liu Bang.
Xiao Chuan!
Xiao Chuan.
Aren't you suppose to be at the great wall?
You haven't died?
I wanted to ask you too.
Why did you come here?
Worthy Little Brother, let's sit down. Sit down.
Come. Come. Come.
Hey. Didn't I tell you just now? Ordinary people cannot sit here.
He is my sworn brother. He can sit here.
Why can't I sit here?
Xiao Chuan. You and this guy became sworn brothers?
That is the truth.
Him?
See. I didn't lie.
If I have to leave, then my brother and I will leave together.
I'll let you go because of Sir Xiang.
I am.
I know.
Patrol officer Liu Bang.
It seems that there isn't anyone sitting here who does not know.
How are you two related to Xiao Chuan?
Why don't we get to know each other.
I don't see such a need.
We, Xiangs always maintain our moral integrity.
We will definitely get along well!
I too, always maintain my moral integrity.
Xiao Chuan, sure enough, you didn't break your promise.
Returning to Xiang Yang alive.
Why didn't you tell me?
The skin on your face is really thick.
I still want to ask you,
why did you send me to the Great Wall?
Two people escaped from the group of slaves I was leading.
The entire group would be killed if the officials found that someone is missing.
You're saying you did it to save people? If you don't believe it, ask the group of slaves.
If any word was a lie,
I will not have an easy death.
I think that if you were awake at the time,
you would have also agreed that I should do that. You would also have gone to save them.
Okay then. I will carefully investigate this.
But why are you here?
Your sister-in-law forced me to come.
Sister-in-law?
The Liu family's Big Miss.
She insisted that I get an official position and came with me all the way to Xian Yang.
You're saying that the Liu family's elder and his daughter have both come to Xiang Yang?
That's right.
The time has come. Please welcome Sir Fu Su.
Greetings.
Thank you for coming.
I appreciate it.
Sir, you are of a high status. Why are you sitting among us?
I am just like all of you.
There will be no segregation based on status.
So one should not care if it is on-stage or off-stage.
Fu Su is not adept at speaking empty words. Let us just start without ceremony.
This time, organizing a Xian Tang Conference,
is to gather talents from all over,
to do strategic planning for the country, and to consider the welfare of the people.
Seated here are many talents from the Six Kingdoms.
No easy words spoken here
will be able to resolve all the past resentments.
But I, Fu Su, am willing to treat you sincerely from this day onwards.
To break down the walls between us.
I hope that we will not bear grudges, and display your talents.
The government will also not count the past against you, but appoint posts according to merit.
I hope everyone has the good of the commoners at heart.
It seems that the rumours was right.
This Master Fu Su is kind and understanding.
He is indeed an ideal candidate for kingship.
I'd never thought that a prince
would be so down to earth. It is indeed admirable.
Comparing him to his father, he is indeed different.
He doesn't need to avoid the discontent among the Six Kingdoms
Don't tell me he wishes to resolve this enmity?
I think it is not impossible.
When Sage Yu needed to drain the flood, his success was based on opening the river channels.
It looks like that this Master Fu Su understands this principle as well.
The only thing is that, for him to accomplish this...
- will not be easy. - I don't agree.
If I am the son of the six countries, I too would be touched.
Listen to what he just said, and look at the expressions of his audience.
He really knows how to buy the people's hearts.
He is a wonderful example to learn from.
Mr. Xiang, perhaps you too, have been moved by his words?
What are the talents of the 3 of you?
We minor in both scholarly and martial pursuits.
Our military forces are able to attack cities, seize territories, and send the enemy fleeing.
We can help bring peace and stability, and assist in ruling.
That's great!
That's exactly what we need!
I'm Liu Bang. I am literate and understand principles. I am a person with ambition.
Eh. What is the meaning of this?
Sir, come back when you have a skill.
I have lots of ambition! Even Master Fu Su said...
There are currently no positions suited for you. Please go back.
What a joke!
Next!
Xiao Chuan. Wait.
No matter what, today
you have to accompany me to see Sir Lu.
Save me.
Now what?
It was initially agreed
that if I could get an official position, I'd be able to marry the eldest daughter.
But I'm not sure
what's wrong with that scribe.
He rejected me.
Now my marriage is on the line. Only you can help me.
How can I go? How I do I say anything after what happened between Lu Su and I?
Even if you hide from one... can you hide from 15?
Don't say anymore. Let's go now.
Sirs, Xiao Chuan and I have something to attend to.
We'll make a move first.
Is what he was saying true?
Master. Big Brother.
I have to go and meet an elder who came from afar.
It's something very important.
I will go and solve it.
Wait.
When I see you this time, I am so worried about you!
Even though you have decided to leave my mentorship,
you are still my Student!
Do not blemish my name.
So your Master has set three commandments for you.
Abstain from alcohol.
I memorize it.
Secondly, work hard to train in martial arts and warfare.
You must never neglect that.
I listen to You.
The third condition is...
do not mix with unsavory characters.
Don't worry about this.
I'll make sure he adheres to the 3 conditions.
Go, go, go.
Xiah Chaung! Take care yourself.
Let's go!
Dad, you must hang on!
Su Su...
Dad...
Why?!
When she left from the world, she gave a message to you.
She wants me to fulfill her filial responsibilities for her.
She wanted me to take care of you.
Right now, please regard me as your real son.
Dad...
Su Su...
Dad. Don't lament over this.
Dad. I beg you. You need to take care of your health!
Dad.
This is here!
Su Su like east-facing rooms. We'll keep this room for her.
Don't worry Dad.
I will definitely take good care of her.
Master Yi.
- Go back and take a rest. I'll keep vigil. - I'll keep vigil with you.
Just now...
I was begging my sister to forgive me.
Forgive you for what?
Forgive the fact that I'm still yearning for you.
So, seeing you from the start
and falling out with my sister over you. It was the day she was forced into marriage
that she ran away from home.
Since young, Su Su and I have been confiding everything to each other.
But just on that day, we fought.
But, she didn't know what to do
and had no one to discuss it with.
That's why she left at that time.
It's me. I've let her down.
I know it.
You are the person Su Su was closest to.
Even after she left, she kept thinking about you.
She also told me that I needed to take care of you.
You know,
for your sake, I've done so many things.
But you've never shown any gratitude towards me.
And for me,
even if you treat me thus,
I've never stopped thinking of you.
Could it be...
If not, then is it something I owe you? No, you don't owe me anything.
This is my fault!
I promised Su Su that I'll take care of you.
This is what I need to do!
What are you doing?
Did you really not notice about me?
Do you know how my heart hurts?
When we are so far away,
I've never stopped thinking of you.
Su Su is my sister.
She is my beloved one!
But I don't know whether you believe it or not...
Actually,
I missed you
far more than I missed my sister.
Yi Lang!
Yi Jin! Please don't do this!
Do you promise to her that you'll be taking care of me for your whole life?
You can take care of me right now!
Do you know how long I've waited? I've been looking forward to see you for so long!
You misunderstood me!
I promised to Su Su that I would be taking care of you like family!
If you remembered her,
you should not say it to me like this!
I also believe that she didn't want to see this!
Please go.
Go away!
Don't make me look down on you.
Yi Lang.
I love you so much!
You hurt me!
And you crushed
my pride under your foot.
Good. You'd better remember that!
You will definitely suffer the pain of leaving me!
I will make you
regret everything that happened today.
I'll make you understand.
You rejected me.
I'll make you regret that for life.
Why did you have to hide all this from me?
Lying to us that Su Su was healthy and happy.
Sir, I saw that you
were so worried over second Miss.
I couldn't bear to let you hurt more.
That's why I hid it from you.
Su'er is gone. I am very sad.
It doesn't matter if your intentions were truly genuine or not.
I won't pursue the matter further.
When you talk about Jin Er next time, let's talk about it next time.
I have no strength to bother about anything else now.
But...
- Let's do this...! - And please go home.
Wait!
Master Liu, please wait.
Father,
please permit me
to marry Master Liu.
Master Liu?
Do you say which one?
It is you!
Miss! You're willing to marry me?
Please don't be glad too much!
If you want to marry me, you need to promise three things to me.
Number one, your estate has to be bigger than Xiao Chuan's.
Number two, your wealth has to be more than Xiao Chuan's.
Number three, your status has to be higher than Xiao Chuan's.
Liu Bang promises to you about those conditions!
If you are unable to fulfill your 3 promises within 10 years,
then I'm sorry,
your status, wealth and land...
and everything you have... will all be mine.
And that includes... your head.
Ju'er!
Marriage is a big issue. How can you do it so carelessly?
I don't approve!
Please forgive me, Father.
But,
I have to do this.
Please do not stop me.
You...
Do you agree or not?
I agree.
That's good.
But although you have promised me,
who knows what will happen
in 10 years time.
Sign the contract.
You've even prepared that?
Of course!
I know you well.
If I'm not prepared, why would I be standing here?
Are you signing or not?
I'll sign it.
Father-in-law, your son-in-law pays his respects.
Ju'er.
I know.
You have always been proud, and won't admit defeat.
But I'll as a father, will just advice you one more time.
You'd better know what you are doing.
A moment of rashness can result in a lifetime of regrets.
Father.
I am unfilial.
I made my own decision regarding my marriage.
But please don't worry.
Even if Lu Zhi marries someone else,
I will definitely fulfill my filial responsibilities
and consider the Lu family as priority in all matters.
I will always think of you.
You are my daughter. How can I not love you?
