General.
Following your orders, going into the enemy's camp...
Luckily, we completed the job that was entrusted to us.
We successfully defeated the Chief of the Di Army
and chopped off Pa Jia Kuo's head.
Good.
Big Brother, General Meng.
This is how I destroy my enemies.
To defeat the enemy, grab their king first,
and not killing indiscriminately, plunging people into misery and suffering.
Assistant General.
I understand.
Aren't you getting up?
Head Tian Wu. You've done great this time.
I will count this as a great deed you have performed.
Where is Guo Pao?
He's been killed.
What's worse is, we couldn't even find his corpse.
General.
General, this is Guo Pao's sword.
Guo Pao, this will be your last resting place.
There are so many brothers here with you
so you won't feel lonely.
All brothers,
we can't take you back with us
but we will never forget you all!
Alive, you were soldiers of Great Qin.
After your deaths, you have become Great Qin's loyal spirits!
Everyone here should protect the Great Qin!
General Li right?
Chief of San Chuan Army, having received the report from General Meng Tian,
came to help.
It's good General has come.
You are just in time for our celebratory dinner.
Li You, look. Look.
The warriors are really having a good time.
Having the junior General around (referring to Yi)
has expanded the hearts of all.
General.
Good. Drink. Drink. Quickly drink.
With the young General's help, you can finally recover from your sickness in peace.
Li You, your teacher is afraid that I won't be in this world for much longer.
Teacher. What do you mean?
Last time, your teacher was assassinated and was poisoned.
No medicine will work.
When your teacher won't be in this world anymore,
Li You ah,
you must help Meng Yi well.
Li You won't shy away from my responsibilities,
but Li You doesn't believe that no medicine will heal it.
I must find the best Doctor to help cure Teacher's illness.
If I can't find (a doctor), Then my father will find (one).
Certainly not.
This is of great importance.
Apart from you, me, and Meng Yi -
you mustn't tell this to anyone.
I'm afraid it's your father doing.
Teacher, you mean my father...?
Even though I don't have any evidence,
but in this situation,
your father and Zhao Gao won't come out clean.
Li You, I know you very well.
You will put country and family before self.
That's why I told you about this.
Teacher, thank you for your trust.
But I...
Your father and I one is educated, the other is good in martial arts.
Both serve in protection of Qin Kingdom.
I am in a precarious state now.
I don't want anything to happen to your father.
Otherwise, the Great Qin country will fall.
When you return to Xian Yang,
you shouldn't question your father and you can't let anything slip about this.
Don't let him know that you know anything about this.
You only need to help Meng Yi and that will be fine.
Doing this - to you, to Meng Yi, to everyone, will be best this way.
Do you understand?
Li You understands.
Things will be hard for you.
For the good of the Qin Kingdom,
Li You is duty-bound to do this.
General Yi's set of interlocking strategies indeed has foresight.
This great victory has made me very happy!
The Di Army, to have suffered such a great defeat...
You two have accomplished a great merit. Quickly tell. What would you want as a reward?
Replying the Emperor:
Meng don't stand, sit and talk.
One let's you sit and talk.
Thank you, Your Highness.
This time going out to war in bad health...
To be able to defeat the Di Army,
it is all General Yi's merit. I don't dare to ask for any reward.
I just ask of you to reward General Yi.
Yi, what do you want?
Replying the Emperor:
You have not counted my charges against me but gave me a heavy responsibility instead. I am already full of gratitude.
I have accomplished this in spite of my crimes.
I'm only repaying your kindness.
I wouldn't dare to ask for any reward.
Beloved Yi subject, you have accomplished something great.
Yet you are not prideful of your accomplishments.
You are indeed a great talent in Qin.
I must make good use of you.
The Emperor is indeed clever.
I have another request to make to the Emperor.
This time going out to war, I had a nice surprise.
Actually, General Yi Xiao Chuan
is my long lost young brother,
Meng Yi.
Ah?
Good!
That is terrific news!
I, the Emperor, worried about General Meng’s grave illness. Qin’s steel Calvary cannot be without a Commander-in-Chief.
Yi, ah - no. Meng Yi.
Since you are loyal to me,
I can rest assured. I'll have Meng Yi take over the command of the army.
You should devote yourself to the recovery of your illness,
beloved subject. What do you think of this?
Yes, Your Majesty. With Meng Yi taking over command,
I can finally recover from my illness with a light heart.
Good.
Lord Meng, this is of great importance. Are you sure you're not mistaken?
How do you know for certain that General Yi is Meng Yi?
If I cannot recognize my own brother,
do you think you will be able to recognize (him)?
General Meng. What do you mean with that?
Your talking a lot of nonsense today!
In this Court,
do you think this it the place to be talking about the private matters of the Meng family?!
Your Majesty. I was wrong.
But this concerns the post of Commander-in-Chief.
This is the pulse of the Qin Kingdom.
Have you forgotten already?
Meng Yi has saved me in the Blue Pondand cured Consort Li from her illness.
This time, he did a miracle by defeating the Di Army.
Even if he isn't subject Meng's brother, I would still use him. Me, being the King of this country,
do you think I only care about Meng Yi's background?
Your Highness, I don't dare.
Meng Yi, hear me.
I'm here.
From today onwards, Meng Yi shall be appointed to assist Meng Tian in his army duties.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Dismissed.
- Lord Meng. - Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Congratulations, Lord Meng.
Congratulations to you Lord Meng.
Xiao Chuan ah. You are really something.
(If you) have something to say, say it quickly.
I thought I'm the only one who can tilt towards power.
You are also quite good at it. That's not too bad.
If Meng Tian were not in danger
from assassination,
I wouldn't have this chance.
Zhao Gao. You wouldn't know (anything) now do you? [about an assassination attempt]
I don't know.
What is it that I don't know?
Even my future, you told me
that I will control the Court.
But your future, I don't know.
Take care not to do evil.
Prime Minister.
That Meng Yi actually rebuked me just now.
He's no longer the old Meng Yi.
As a higher offical and armed with army power...
But not good to defeat.
I originally thought
that he had become a ordinary commoner.
But I didn't think
that he could change his fate.
Orginally, I thought
that we could kill two birds with one stone
and remove General Meng and Meng Tian.
But I didn't think a Meng Yi would come up.
Wanting to get rid of Meng Tian is much harder now.
Prime Minister. Meng Tian is easy to handle.
He has already been poisoned.
Once the poison acts, he will die.
Then Meng Yi...
We need to think of a good plan to defeat Meng Yi.
You shouldn't take mercy on him and
let him go.
Prime Minister, have you forgotten?
Lady Li has a handle on both of us.
That's why we had to let him go.
He is on Lady Li's side.
It's not easy to topple him now.
Since Spring-Autumn period,
there were examples of conspiracy between the inner and outer palace.
Lord Zhao is in charge of palace law.
Why not keep an eye on their dealings
to gather evidences
and accuse them of revolting.
A good plan indeed. Kill two birds with one stone.
Li Fei's temper. I've had enough already.
It's time to deal with her.
Lord Zhao, what's the hurry?
I have something to say to you.
Oh.
San Bao.
Today you must pay special attention.
Whoever goes in and out of Consort Li Fei's palace,
you must tell me.
Yes.
This, only you and me know.
Better not let a third person know.
Thank you, Lord. San Bao understands.
How is he?
Imperial Concubine. Among the people having returned,
I didn't find General Yi's name.
That can not be.
That's because
General Yi has become General Meng's true, young brother,
Meng Yi,
and gained credits in war.
He was appointed an offical.
That's great!
Regardless of him being official, I only want him to be safe.
Alive, coming back - that is more than enough.
Xiao Yue. Give this to Lord Yi.
Tell him I'm waiting for his reply.
Yes.
No.
Wait there for him. You must bring the reply back today.
Xiao Yue understands.
- Miss Xiao Yue. Where are you going to? - I have something important to do today.
I'll talk to you when I come back.
Alright.
Both Lord Zhao and Xiao Yue
are in a hurry.
He... This isn't right.
This Miss Xiao Yue is Imperial Concubine Li Fei's confidant inside the palace.
Do I need to tell this to Lord Zhao Gao?
Young General. Come.
Look here.
Where did you get this little horse from?
General. This is General Meng Tian's gift to you.
This is truly a good horse.
This...
General. This is one of Hei Feng's offspring. And this horse comes from the treasured blood-sweat breed.
In the future, he will be just like Hei Feng.
Flying across the sands, galloping for tens and thousands of miles.
I owe you a good horse.
I will return it in future,
to aid your conquest.
Good. I will wait for that day to come.
Old Pang.
Tomorrow, you shall
send this horse to Wu Country
and give it to my brother, Xiang Yu.
General, such a good horse.
You have only laid one eye on it and you're giving it away to someone else.
There's a saying:
swords for master, horses for hero.
My big brother. He is a big hero.
This little horse
will be famous if it follows my brother.
Go on.
General. This girl says she needs to see you about something important.
If this Miss comes to see me in future,
you don't have to ask permission first. You can just let her in.
Yes.
I didn't think visiting the General
would get so difficult.
Yes. They are always addressing me as General
and (do) not stop paying their respects. I'm not used to it either.
I'm still used to them calling me Xiao Chuan.
Oh, right.
I'll be sending someone to Brother Lu tomorrow.
Do you have any messages for him?
Could you please tell him then
that Xiao Yue wishes him to get well soon.
Is he hurt somewhere then?
Nothing major. You should just give him this message.
Oh, by the way,
Xiao Yue came here today because of something important.
Let's get into the house first.
Okay.
She is...
This is De Xiang.
Miss. You shouldn't get the wrong idea. I'm General Meng's servant.
I have already told you so countless times,
don't say servant all the time.
Xiao Yue. You know that...
You know that I do not like to differentiate the master-servant status.
Help me tell her.
Miss. General. You don't have to say anything.
De Xiang will not change.
When the Imperial Concubine heard you were back, she told me to give this to you.
She is waiting for your response.
I'll just be outside.
Big Brother.
Assistant General.
Hang it up.
Yes.
This banner
is our Meng family's heirloom that's been handed down.
It's also been with our ancestors through bloody battles,
bearing witness to loyalty and righteousness.
So many ancestors of our Meng Family
have given their lives for this.
Much blood from Meng warriors have been spilled in the battlefield,
so that Meng Army can inspire awe throughout the world.
Meng Yi ah.
Starting from now,
it will be your time to shine.
I know you will not let down
our ancestors' and my expectations. You will not disgrace the Meng family's pride.
Officer Mo leaving.
I am not the devil's incarnation Yi Xiao Chuan anymore.
I am Meng Yi now.
I have become a part of history too.
Sorry.
All that happened between us
has ended.
Yu Shu,
this is my last recording for you.
For the sake of my promise and pledge,
because of General Meng
and because of Great Qin,
I must let Xiao Chuan
and everything that belonged to him
disappear.
Forget everything that happened with me.
Starting from now,
this world will no longer have Yi Xiao Chuan,
only Meng Yi.
Forget me.
General.
You must give it to her.
General, don't worry.
Miss. Please stop.
Here I have a seal that's given by His Majesty.
I can go out whenever.
This we know. Miss can go in.
But you will have to follow me first.
How dare you! Do you know who's servant I am?
Who's little sister I am?
Don't be angry. Don't be angry, Miss Xiao Yue.
Please, don't be angry.
It's just that your brother lord Zhao Gao wants to see you
and had these two here especially wait, wait here for your return.
Old Brother.
But right now I don't have time to see him.
I'll go see him when I come back.
If Miss isn't planning on going, you will have to excuse us.
Let go of me!
Let me go!
Lord. Miss only has this on her.
A waist seal (plate)?
Meng Yi ah.
Do you think in this world you are the only one who knows how to use a mobile phone?
Lord. This hand...
Finger...
Yes.
So this is what you used to give messages to each other.
No wonder no one found out.
Yu Shu.
This is my last recording for you.
For the sake of my promise and pledge,
because of General Meng,
because of Great Qin,
I must let Xiao Chuan
and everything that belonged to him
disappear for good.
Meng Yi ah.
So, it seems that you are Li Fei's (Consort Li) confidante
and lover.
Just need to rely on this thing and it will implicate Li Fei
and prosecute you to a death sentence.
General, please wait.
General, please enter.
Meng Yi pays his respects to His Majesty.
Beloved official, rise.
Thank you, Your Highness.
I don't know why His Majesty called me for. What can I do for you?
Zhao Gao. Li Fei and Meng are already here.
What do you need to say
that needs them both to be here until you can say?
Your Majesty,
now that both of them are here, I shall then risk my life to say this.
Meng Yi secretly conspired with Li Fei
and had a love affair.
You... What did you say?
Your Highness, this is true.
I have even found evidence.
Zhao Gao.
Only Zhao Gao will know how to use a cellphone.
All previous recordings, I have already deleted.
But the last one is also equally serious.
What is this? Give it here and let One see.
Your Highness. The picture in here
has recorded Meng Yi's love words to Li Fei.
He saw it.
I must blame myself for my one-sided love for Yu Shu,
and take upon all the responsibility of the crime.
Then only Yu Shu can escape this disaster.
Your Highness, look.
Your Majesty. Let me open this treasure for you so that you can take a look at it.
Your Highness, look.
What type of evidence is this?
What did you want to show me?
Your Highness, in this mobile phone there is a picture.
What mobile phone?
What screen?
The things you are saying, One doesn't understand at all.
What do you want me to see? There isn't anything.
Your Highness, let me see.
Your Highness. It, it, it...hasn't got any battery.
No battery?
Meng Yi.
Bring out the battery charger!
Lord Zhao.
What you said today is fabricated.
Very strange.
And I've never seen that before.
Has the Imperial Concubine ever heard of it before?
Your Highness have you heard of it before?
Stop pretending!
Outrageous!
Be appeased, Your Majesty!
Your Highness.
I'm telling the Imperial Concubine to stop pretending.
Not you.
What are you saying?!
No, I meant to tell Meng Yi to stop pretending.
Enough!
Stop making trouble!
Talking nonsense!
Lord Zhao,
I want to borrow it for a little while.
Your Highness.
This is just a mirror I have been using.
Lord Zhao is making a big fuss over nothing.
Not bad, it's really clear.
Can see very clearly.
This is a treasure my mother, the Queen, brought with her for me.
Lord Zhao has never seen (it) before.
He's making too much fuss about something he hasn't seen before.
How can I not have seen it before?
This mobile, I have five of...
Zhao Gao, stop your nonsense
and wronging Lady Li and Meng Yi!
I want to punish you severely!
Your Highness! I'm innocent! I'm truly innocent!
I'm truly innocent! I...
Your Highness,
I still have a witness.
Tell them to come up.
My respects to Your Majesty and Lady.
Raise your head.
Has the Lord and Imperial Concubine been found out by my Big Brother?
Xiao Yue. Tell them.
How you saw Meng Yi and Imperial Concubine Li Fei.
And how you brought Imperial Concubine's thing with you out of the palace.
Say it, truthfully.
Otherwise, Old Brother only has the path of death.
If I tell the truth, his Lord will be sentenced to death.
Don't say, Old Brother will die. What should I do?
Why are you hesitating? Hurry up and tell!
Yes.
I shall tell the truth.
I knew General Meng sometime ago
and developed feelings for him. I cannot even sleep at night.
Ever since having a plaque to get out of the palace,
I have been going out of the palace.
All just for having a look at General Meng.
Your saying, you've been loving General Meng all this time?
Consort.
Xiao Yue is deeply in love with General Meng.
When he fights Rong Di, I prayed for him daily.
At the arrival of General,
I couldn't help myself, but to go visit.
But I was caught by Lord Zhao when I returned.
Nonsense!
How can a palace maid have feelings for a stranger?
Your Highness.
Xiao Yue knows that a palace maid cannot love an outsider.
That's why I hid it.
Consort, General Meng, and my brother -
they knew nothing about all of this.
I am Imperial Concubine's maid servant.
So, Brother thought that... me going to see General Meng,
is to relay information between both of them.
Imperial Concubine's treasure was found on you. How do you explain that?
Because I'm the maid servant of her Imperial Concubine,
I will have to safekeep her belongings on me.
This is just one of them.
Your Highness.
This is all because of me alone, wishing for things that cannot be.
Incriminating the Imperial Concubine, the General and Brother -
please punish me, Your Majesty!
Zhao Gao, you are the accuser
and your sister is the wrong-doer.
Being in charge of the inner palace,
you shall handle this matter
accordingly to our law. Don't try to protect her!
Yes, Your Highness.
According to the law,
she shall be beaten a hundred times
and expelled from the palace.
Good. That shall be done. Someone...
Your Highness.
Xiao Yue.
Your Highness.
I beg you.
On seeing our loyalty to you,
spare her! Have mercy!
A Qin official must follow the rules and law!
She is your little sister
and you should follow the law to punish her.
How many more left?
Thirty more.
Carry on the beating.
Your Highness!
If you carry on the beating, I will no longer have a little sister!
Your Highness! I beg you!
Don't beat anymore! Don't beat!
I cannot ignore the Qin law for a palace maid!
Pull Zhao Gao up! - Yes.
Continue the punishment!
I beg you!
Your Highness!
I beg you, don't beat her anymore! Your Highness!
Your Majesty,
this palace maid is my personal aide.
She made her mistake because I wasn't strict enough with her.
According to the law, I am as much at fault as she is.
Please punish me with a hundred strokes too.
This... This...
Your Majesty,
this maid's mistake should not incriminate Her Ladyship.
Your Majesty has mercy.
Why not save the rest of the beatings.
Banish her from the palace as warning to others.
Good. Shall do as you said.
I shall save the remaining beatings of the maid, and Lady Li's as well, for the future.
Send this maid out of the palace.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Many thanks, Your Highness.
