The fourth fight, Cang Lang of Jia Zhe versus Yuwen of Sui
Kill that Sui man.
He shouldn't have played dirty.
No...
My pleasure.
Yuwen of Sui wins.
Bravo...
Sui's warrior is awesome indeed.
He has our total admiration.
Here's my decree.
My gold baqua cricket and dragon armor is bestowed to
Yuwen Chengdu, First Warrior of Sui,
Thank you, Sire.
Long live Your Majesty...
At ease. Thank you, Sire.
The country enjoys peace and prosperity,
there are no more frontier disputes,
we have good rapport with our neighboring states.
I'd like them to see the benefit of subordinating to Sui.
When there's only one sun in the sky, everything thrives.
But if there are two or three suns, it'll mean havoc for all.
So, wherever the sun shines, the rain falls
the people there are my subjects.
Long live Your Majesty...
The tournament brought awe to every vassal state,
Cowered by Sui's military prowess,
the vassal states all pledged their subordination and presented tribute.
Emperor Yang of Sui was known as Celestial Khagan,
and Sui the Celestial Empire.
Sire, you're busy,
yet you still find time to come to see me,
I'm really grateful.
The palace examination is over.
You'll soon give birth, how do you feel?
Thank you for your concern, I'm fine.
But the baby keeps kicking me.
That's a good sign.
What is it?
My belly hurts...
It hurts... Take it easy...
Sire, Her Highness is in labor...
It hurts...
Come, Her Highness is in labor...
Relax...
Relax... Sire...
Sire, we're going to deliver the baby...
Sire...
Alright, I go wait outside.
Give me a boy.
Relax...
Sire, congratulations...Her Highness has given birth to a boy.
Sire, congratulations.
Heaven is kind to me.
You have suffered.
I was able to give Sire a boy, I'm blessed.
Sire.
Sire, you can hold him.
Guys, I'm going up the mountain to see Zhai Rang,
so he can fetch us up.
Brother Tong, human hearts are fickle,
be careful.
I don't feel easy letting you go alone.
Let others go with you.
Brother Ji, let me go with him.
I want to go with them too.
Brother, I... Shut up.
Guys, Brother Tong's trip is pivotal,
everyone listen to him.
Don't take matters into your own hands.
Yes.
If Zhai Rang is courteous to us,
of course we won't do anything.
Then wait for my good news.
I have to go now.
Wait.
Brother Tong, you must be careful.
You and Zhai Rang may be friends,
but we're asking him for a favor.
It's good if he agrees to cooperate with us
If he refuses, you still have to come back alive and well.
Understand? I do.
Ta ke ca re.
Brother Tong, take care.
Goodbye. Take ca re.
Wagang Fortress
Please sit.
You took the trouble to come here,
I'm really happy-
Give my order,
The whole fortress will take a break.
Prepare a feast for a celebration.
Yes.
Hear, hear...
The whole fortress will take a break.
Prepare a feast for a celebration.
Good!
Come on, cheers.
Brother Rang, I'm here to ask you for a favor.
Just tell me, I'll do my best.
The emperor is incompetent and the court is corrupt.
The people are suffering and their lives hard.
46 sworn brothers, including Qin Qiong, Xu Maogong and Wang Bodang,
want to overthrow Sui and put another on the throne,
to relieve the people of their plight.
But we still have no base of our own.
We're now at the foot of Mount Wagang,
we'd like to join forces with you to overthrow Sui.
What do you think?
Head Zhai, once we've won, we'll split the land between us.
Our brothers are waiting for us at the foot of the mountain,
what do you think?
Brother Tong, say no more.
Since your men are here now, how can I say no?
You've done me the honor.
But...
Amitabha, may I say a few words?
Reverend, please.
Squire Shah, though this is the first time we've ever met,
I have long heard of your name.
If you had come alone,
I would have been overjoyed-.
But you are here as a group of 46,
we don't know the other 45.
Once they are here, if any misunderstanding arises,
it'll put us in a difficult position.
Also, with regards to splitting the land after Sui is overthrown,
it's more like lip service.
A mountain cannot support two tigers, nor a country two rulers.
Who will be the ruler, who will be the subject?
Reverend has a point.
Squire Shan, you said your men are already here,
I don't think it's appropriate.
There are 46 Shandong rebels,
but there are only three of us heads.
We're vastly outnumbered,
we'll be at a disadvantage.
Right, you are so right.
Squire Shan, you came to talk with us with your men already at the foothill.
So we have to say yes whether we like it or not.
Squire Shan, you're the head of the outlaws
and a friend of our Head Zhai,
what you're doing is not very appropriate.
How is it not appropriate?
You keep hemming and hawing,
what do you mean by this?
You think us Shandong rebels have nowhere else to go,
we have to seek shelter here?
It's because we have been on friendly terms
we've both raised the standard to overthrow Sui,
that's why we're here to discuss this with you.
Don't think so highly of yourself.
It's either the carrot or the stick.
We have agreed to it,
you can bend us but you can't break us
We Shandong rebels are made of tougher fiber.
Indeed, we're not even afraid of the court,
why should we avoid you?
Besides, you don't have the divine right for Mount Wagang.
If you can defend it, fine.
If not, just leave.
If you won't work with us fine,
go somewhere else.
Mount Wagang belongs to us Shandong rebels.
I dare you...
Head Zhai, you hear that?
Now they're talking.
Give the order to have them all killed.
I dare you... You dare?
Let me see who dares to take on us Shandong rebels.
How outrageous! Come, kill them all.
Yes...
Tong Pass
Report...
What? What have you found?
It's all quiet around Tong Pass.
That's impossible.
You haven't searched thoroughly.
The rebels have gone in the direction of Mount Wagang.
We have fallen for their trick.
They deliberately let you go,
so you'd feed us the fake intel.
They meant to stall us.
Give my order, we'll set out for Wagang without delay
to pursue the rebels.
Yes.
Brother Qiong, Brother Ji...
How did it go? How did it go?
Are our men back yet?
We've been waiting opposite Wagang Fortress for half a day,
but no sight of them.
Brother Qiong, nothing happened to Brother Tong, right?
Brother Ji, say something.
Fate unknown.
Unknown?
I have to go check.
Brother Qiong, you can't go alone.
Let Shixin go with you.
I'll have men watching your backs down the mountain.
Brother Ji, will it be OK?
Head Zhai, let's just kill them all,
and put them in their place.
No, we can't.
Report.
Head of Shandong rebels Qin Qiong is here.
The Shandong rebels are down the mountain.
If we kill the four men, they won't let it go.
Now that their head is here,
Let's make it clear with them.
Then we can let the four go.
We should seek compromise and peace.
Qin Qiong is their head,
let's ask him to come up and kill him as well,
the rebels will be demoralized,
we may recruit the remnants as our men for our own expansion.
Head Zhai, let's ask Qin Qiong to come up.
What he said is right.
In case it's their Trojan horse trick, we have to keep an eye on him.
Then, I'll leave it to our guys.
You two go meet Qin Qiong with me.
Wait...
Fool...don't go...
What a fool.
Gentlemen, please sit.
Thank you.
No...
Ours is a poor place,
we're honored that Master Qin is here to pay us a visit.
I'm a nobody, I'm honored that Head Zhai has shown me such hospitality.
It's my pleasure.
How do you like our tea?
It's good tea indeed.
Sweet with a bitter aftertaste.
What do you mean?
I've long heard Head Zhai is a Henan hero.
You preside over Wagang, commanding an elite force and ample supplies,
even the Sui troops find you formidable.
That's why we came here to talk about joining forces with you.
I don't know what they did to incur your displeasure,
so that they're now tied up outside.
I'm enjoying tea here, they're suffering outside.
As a result, the tea has turned bitter.
Brother, don't bother with the tea.
If they won't release them, we'll make them.
Shixin.
Brother Qin, your four brothers were unreasonable.
A talk for cooperation means seeking agreement between two sides.
You Shandong rebels threw your weight around,
trying to browbeat us into submission, even resorting to force.
We had no choice but to subdue them.
You mean my brothers were disrespectful,
so you were forced to tie them up.
Please cut them some slack and let them go.
You reap what you sow, there's no getting away with it.
You can take a horse to the water, but you can't make it drink.
Since Wagang is not interested in joining forces with us,
we won't make you.
Head Zhai, we're all rebels,
we believe in the same cause,
we shouldn't fall on one another.
Please, for my sake,
let my brothers go.
We would be grateful.
Qin, enough.
We won't fall for your trick.
You want to con our head into letting your brothers go,
then you'll attack us.
Am I right? Dream on.
Let me tell you,
aside from not letting Shan Xiongxin go,
we won't let you go either.
Qin, this is Wagang Fortress, you don't call the shots here.
To kill or not to kill, it's up to us.
Who are you to order us?
Guys, get him!
I dare you!
You beast, drop dead!
Qin, I dare you to go out with us.
Let me see how formidable you are.
Brother, take a break.
Just a few bandits, no need to trouble you.
Be careful.
Guo Mingshun here, take this!
Drop dead!
Brother...
Beast, a life with a life!
He just passed away, go join him.
Take this!
Monk, you go join them.
Luo Shixin, I dare you to come with me.
You dare?
Why wouldn't I?
Alright, come!
Shixin, beware of his tricks.
Monk, stop right there!
Hurry...
Good...
Good!
Monk...let me out...
Get me some lime...
Burn him to death! Yes.
Monk, let me out...
Monk...
Counselor, how come they're still not back
My brother's been gone for so long. There's still no news of him.
Yingying, relax. I know what to do.
Let me go with Brother You.
If it means fighting,
I can stall them for some time and let Brother You come back to inform you.
Remember, let us know what's going on.
Yes.
Luo Cheng.
Be careful, be back soon.
Don't worry, I have yet to lose a fight.
Qin, prepare to die today.
Where's Luo Shixin?
Let me tell you,
you'll never see him again.
I've sent him to Nirvana.
Guys. charge!
You won't let me out?
You will see.
Beast, drop dead!
Halt!
Over my dead body!
Fatso, your wish is granted.
Fatso, you have a death wish?
Before you do it, may I have a word with you?
Just say it.
Come on, I'm already a dead man,
may we be friends before I die?
Who wants to be friends with you?
Calm down, it's to your benefit.
I have a present for you.
I can tell you the Shandong rebels' great secret.
Think about it, with this secret,
you can claim credit from your head.
Think how wonderful that would be.
I ask for nothing but a swift death.
Please.
Just say it.
Don't be impatient, there are so many ears here.
It's a secret, it's only for your ears.
Really? Yes.
Qi, well done!
Did you hear clearly?
Actually, I still have another secret.
Drop dead!
You can kill me, but I'll be back!
What took you so long?
Charge...
Brother, I'm back.
Shixin, you're not dead?
Shan Xiongxin, Qin Shubao,
so long as I am alive,
I'll settle the score with you.
Buddy.
Stop running.
I've been waiting here for you.
Announce yourself.
I'm the invincible Cheng Yaojin.
Head chop
Narrow pick.
Ear slice.
Thigh sweep.
Buddy, tell me your name.
Zhai Rang. Alright.
Head Zhai, forgive us if we have offended you.
Enough.
Head Zhai, you don't need to worry.
We came to ask about joining forces in our fight against the court.
But Yuanjue the Monk tried
to alienate us and provoke a rift.
You're a hero of our time.
We've talked about it.
We brothers will take you as our leader.
We'll take orders from you.
What do you think?
No! Winner takes all.
I lost to you guys, just kill me.
If you won't work with us, we won't force you.
Don't worry, we'll leave Wagang.
Wagang Fortress is still yours.
I lost, I have nothing to say.
All I ask is death.
My son... Father...
Mother...
I let you suffer, I've failed you.
Son, the fortress was in chaos,
we old and young would rather seek death than be molested.
Fortunately, Master Qin told his men to leave us be.
He tried to talk to us.
We have not lost our honor.
Our belongings are left intact.
He treated us like his family.
That's why I didn't seek death.
Son, listen to me,
work with the Shandong rebels.
I was ignorant, I have offended you.
My men and I are willing to join you,
and take General Qin as our leader.
General Zhai, get up.
Give my order, let's have a feast.
What's going on?
