Episode Nineteen
The Green Hills Court
Yuwen Zhuo is still alive.
The grand funeral
was just a play
to trick others.
Brother Linxi
became a worthless
sacrifice.
That’s right.
He even dares to trick the Emperor
and I am nobody compared to the Emperor.
He only thinks me
as a spy of sacrifice.
(Crying)
But Yuwen Yue,
do you know
I almost trusted you?
Young Master,
we have thoroughly searched the slum
in the city of Chang’an,
but we found no trace of the spies from the Liang State.
We have also searched
everywhere in Chang’an,
including the inns and hotels.
There is no trace of them either.
Even a mice
or a sparrow
can’t get away
without being noticed,
let alone
three people.
How could three people
disappear just like that?
The mausoleum of the previous Dynasty
situates in the wasteland outside the city.
That’s right, Your Young Master.
However, this mausoleum
was robbed a long time ago.
There is no one there,
but only some
empty tombs.
(Sound of walking)
Young Master,
I led a group of guards of Yue
to follow Yuwen Huai,
according to your order.
Have you found anything?
Yuwen Huai is very cunning.
He goes around the city.
The more cunning he is,
the more likely he is
trying to meet with
the spies from the Liang State soon.
We followed him
outside of the city.
It looks like
the spies from the Liang State
have been staying in the tombs.
They couldn’t stay in the city,
so the mausoleum was their only choice.
(Sound of walking)
Young Master,
His Master wants Xing’er to be a spy of sacrifice
to defeat the spies from the Liang State.
I need to kill them
as soon as possible.
Call for all the guards of Yue.
Yes, sir.
(Sound of walking)
(Sound of riding horses)
Congradulations. Young Master Huai.
You finally become the master of
the Red Hills Court.
You must have some reason. Otherwise, you wouldn’t help me.
You can tell me now.
We came here
is to collect evidence that
Duke Dingbei of Yanbei is plotting a rebellion.
Why would Duke Dingbei plot a rebellion?
I think
the Liang State is playing
Yanbei and the Wei State
against each other
in order to take advantage from it.
You are very smart indeed.
The next move
is for you to help me…
Making me a collaborationist?
You came here to meet with me
at this late hour.
What do you think you are doing?
Your grandfather has been
a collaborationist
for many years.
He has enjoyed wealth,
surrounded by beautiful women.
Besides,
only the winner survives.
Don’t you want to rule the Wei State?
I have one more doubt though.
Why did you choose me?
Indeed,
based on the talent and title,
you are not the best choice,
but there is something in you
that no one else has.
Which is?
Your ambition.
(Smirking)
Young Master Huai,
this is why I chose you.
Desire
can motivate anyone
in the world.
I do admire
the ambition you have.
Fine.
From now on,
we are partners,
going through thin and thick
in order to achieve our goals.
If we want to accomplish our goals,
we must get rid of Duke Dingbei first.
A few days ago,
we replaced the letter
from Yan Xun
to Yan Shicheng.
In addition to our scheme in Yanbei,
after Duke Dingbei received the letter,
he will definitely
come to Chang’an in person
to protect his son.
Then you can
lead the troops
to kill him.
But the Emperor is not
against Duke Dingbei officially.
Let me take care of that.
You only need to…
Why is that?
Please trust me.
You will see tomorrow at noon.
Princess,
Yuwen Yue is leading troops
towards us.
Let me take you with me.
No.
Young Master Huai,
your priority is to
meet the Emperor.
You can’t delay it.
We can deal with
Yuwen Yue.
How can I just abandon you like that?
Didn’t you just say
we are partners
and we will achieve our goals together?
Vacillation will only lead to failure.
You should leave now.
(Sound of riding horses)
Watch out.
(Sound of men falling off horses)
(Sound of fighting)
(Sound of riding horses)
(Sound of fighting)
Princess, are you hurt?
You are the spies from the Liang State.
Your martial art is impressive.
Who are you?
Restrain them now.
Yes, sir.
(Sound of fighting)
Are you all right?
I am, Your Young Master.
(Laughing)
Cuties.
你们是从哪里来的 Where did you com from?
(Laughing)
Each one of you even wears clothes.
Be careful.
Cutie.
Cutie. Little cutie.
Each one of you
even carries a weapon.
How impressive.
How adorable.
(Sound of kissing)
Be careful.
Fine. Since you are here,
you can stay
and live with me,
being my bodies.
(Laughing)
Here.
Since we are good bodies,
I shall give you
something tasteful.
Melon seeds.
Here.
Eat.
Eat them all up.
Long time no see, Shopkeeper Zuo.
I come to see you
I didn't invite you
What are you doing here
I come to see you
to ask for your favor of course
What
How do you like
this pair of
mice brothers
Good. I can see it
Seems like you've done your work
Of course
Don't forget
our deal
I know it
There's no good seeing you
What deal?
I don't remember
I've got amnesia
Maybe I was infected by you
You should know about amnesia well
Right
Then I should take these gifts well
I'll give you something else next time
Wait
An adult as you
take back the gift you gave out
Are you comfortable doing that
I can give you something bigger
next time
Like what?
Like a big cat
Who will eat all of these cuties
You fool
Why don't you give me a tiger,
Silly girl, a big cat?
Just tell me, what else do you want?
Since you asked,
all of those
sharp weapons you have
Your naughty girl,
Follow me.
Princess, are you all right?
I am fine.
If you didn’t risk your life to save me,
we wouldn’t be able to
escape easily.
Princess,
may I ask a question?
You want to ask about Yuwen Huai?
Your Highness’s intention
is to take advantage of him.
However, Princess chose to
let Yuwen Huai escape first today
and put yourself in danger.
Why is that?
You think I might actually fall for him?
You don’t need to worry about that.
Yes, Your Highness.
It is impossible that Her Highness
would fall for Yuwen Huai.
He is capable,
but he is also too cunning.
We can only take advantage of
Yuwen Huai.
He can’t be our friends
or enemy.
We do need Yuwen Huai’s help
to accomplish the plan to play Duke Dingbei and
the Emperpor of the Wei State against each other.
As long as Duke Dingbei is against the Wei State,
in that case,
the fragile balance of power
inside the Wei State
will also be broken.
Then we just need to kill Yan Xun
and no one owns Yanbei.
At that time, those rich lords
will fight against each other to rule Yanbei.
The Wei State will fall apart.
Then we can
benefit from that.
I pity Prince Yan Xun.
He is too young and very handsome.
He probably hasn’t known
he has become the prawn
of the princess
He won't survive after his country broke after all
As for Yuwen Yue
each of our move
is interfered by him
If we don't kill him...
Now
the best time to kill him
hasn't come
A little bit reckless may lead to the failure of the whole plan
Leave him alone for now
So pity that Yuwen Yue
is an arrogant man
If we don't show him
what we are capable of
we'll be despised
Where are the female agents from Liang?
How do you feel
being somewhere familiar?
Happy?
What are you waiting for?
Come out
See who's here?
See who's back?
See. See
In fact, when you asked for
the map last time
I know
you want to kill Yuwen Xi
Right?
You hate him?
Did you make up your mind?
Good
Listen
Yuwen Xi
is an old jerk
an old love-lace
How many beautiful girls
out there
were played and killed by him
He's evil, of the highest level
He is an old rubbish
May Xing'er
kill him successfully
Take his life successfully
You shall leave
We all support you
How knightly we are!
Jile Pavilion is tightly guarded
Full of traps
Tell me, how many people you deceived
to kill the old guy with you
One hundred?
A thousand?
No
Ten thousand?
Just me
Just you?
I go killing people
not to some party
I myself is enough
You are not assassinating
You are going suicide
So what?
What so what?
You want to die
I don't want you to die
Then
I... I mean
If you die
where could I get
the intelligience of the decree
Take it
How should I use it
Simple
Seduce him
You need to learn it
This is not
the common hair accessory
There is little trick on it
Have a look at it
Because when you go into the pavilion
you cannot take any weapon with you
It's the only thing you can take
By that time
it will be the only tool for you to kill
Do you understand?
Killing Yuwen Xi
is hard enough
And you have to escape
This is not enough
Laughing?
Follow me
You may use this
The folding arch
You'll find
the exit with
the map I gave you
When you find it
you will be on the top floor of the pavilion
Go to the roof and you'll see
all these stuff that
I put there in advance
These stuff will help you out of the guards
Since you can get in yourself
why not take me in
along with you
Because it's extremely dangerous there
I just want to help you
not sacrifice myself
Okay
Another gift, fine?
So generous of you
Many thanks
You are welcome
Since I own so many good stuff here,
take them with you
You have something else good
Give me
Nothing else
You just said you have. Show me
No. No. Nothing
Nothing else, really
You said you have
Show me
Nothing else
Hurry up
Are you done?
I give you these
for free
I got not a cent from you
Are you done？
I found you so shameless
I have no other way
It's you that don't want me to die after all
I
Give me
Just one more gift
Here
See?
Don't know to use it, right?
I know it after one glimpse
Will you be back alive?
Don't worry
I still owe you
the intelligence of the decree
I don't care about you, really
But my mice here
may worry about you
I'm leaving
Take care
Don't forget to bring me the weapon
Tell me when you
set up the date
Your highness
I told you
to go back to Yan with me
Have you made your decision
Yes
Then why didn't you tell me
Prince
is Yan really as beautiful
as you said
Is there really not a slave?
What I told you is all truth
Endless grassland
Running horse
The Xiuli mountain full of flowers
Take your two sisters with you
Come back to Yan with me
You won't be slaves anymore
How's that?
OK, I believe you
That's great
I'll tell you when I
set up the date
Your highness
This way, please
This is the best saddle
in our shop
See？
The dedicate pattern
It's the favorite
for girls in Chang'an
It's the newest
What the nobles girls like
may not be of her taste
This girl
is special
Shopkeeper, please find
me some other good ones
Show them all
to me
Yeah
A new one comes yesterday
You'll like it
Prince, how about this
Pretty good
Only this one can match
that special girl
Wrap it up
Okay
Brother Yan Xun
Chun'er, why are you here
Brother Yan Xun, thank you for
giving me such a
special saddler
I hate the ones
with heavy decorations
The one just now
is exactly of my taste
Thank you for your effort
Brother Yan Xun
Thank you for giving me the saddler
It's really special and beautiful
I think, when I come to the Northern Yan
I'll use it
a lot
Chun'er, the saddler is actually...
Brother Yan Xun
Do you remember the first
saddler you gave me
When did I gave you
another set of horse saddler
Have you forgotten?
When I were ten
I went to the hunt of the royal family
with my brother
and father for the first time
At that time
you brought a saddler remade by yourself
and you forced me to take it
Right?
I remember that day
That day
I almost fell from the horse
Only you
Only you rushed forward
to save me with one move
And there's still a scar
on my leg now
You are long recovered
So
since that day
since then
I decide to ...
Since then
I find that
you are a brave girl
I swear to god
I'll treat you as my sister
You and I grew up together
I swear
I'll protect you
And you'll be my best little sister
Chun'er
I... I almost forgot
In fact
I need to go back to the palace
I have a lot of things to do
I should leave now
Chun'er
Brother Yan Xun
I really have a lot of things to do
I almost forgot them
I am just about to celebrate my grown-up party
I have to choose the clothes
and the hair accessory
I have no time here
to talk with you
I have to go back to the palace
Yeah
The saddler
About the saddler, I'm sorry
I'll let Caiwei to send it back
to your house later on
Goodbye, brother Yan Xun
Princess
Yan Xun
You made Chun'er
cry again
Something is known
better than later
Do you know she'll
be really upset?
Things like this cannot be forced
Did you fall in love with someone else?
Is that Xing 'er at Yuwen Yue'
house?
Yuwen Hua, you came to the palace at midnight
saying there is the sign of good luck
How far should we go
till this sign
Your majesty
The Sibao Mountain is just ahead
Legends are there is a rare stone
with a 100-year-old
pine tree growing from it
That sign could only happen once a hundred year
It signs: Long live
our majesty
Hurry! Hurry up!
Come on
Stop. Slow down Careful
Push. Push
Push
Slow down
Come on. Careful
Slow down. Slow, slow
Watch out
Why are you so annoying just now
We are guilty
Please forgive us
What's that
It's... It
I am asking you
Why not answer me
It's... It
Go check it
Yes
What's that
I dare not to say
It's so irrespective
Wei is dying
Chu will charge the empire
Is this the sign of good luck
you give me?
Please calm down
Bullshit
Please do not be angry
Speak now
Wei Guang
I think
there must be a evil schemer planned it
We should caught him right now
All the farmers and officials
on the river port
should be interviewed and punished
to find the headmaster
And then punish him by the law
An evil schemer?
What?
Don't you think
it's an alarm from the god?
How would the god send
such an ridiculous alarm?
Zhao Gui, what do you think?
I think,
what Mr. Wei said is right
And you?
We think Mr. Wei is right
Then who do you think
is the schemer?
Yuwen Huai
you were with me this whole day
Who
do you think did this?
I am not smart enough to tell
But since someone did it
there must be a goal
and an answer for it
You witnessed it today
So someone must be there
spreading rumors by using
this chance of the lucky sign
If someone believe it
he will go for him
So his army
will be booming
And cause an unnecessary
battle
You really are not smart
Such an easy conclusion
are thought by everyone
Just
you dare to say it
In fact all of us doubt it
Is it a conspiracy
of people
or an alarm from the god?
Dare not
Dare not?
What do you dare not?
Still playing tricks in front of me
The traitors
shall be executed
Please do not be angry
Please calm down
Yan Shicheng
You ungrateful jerk
I trusted him so much
He dared to treat me like this
Your majesty
There is no clear proof now
saying that the lord Dingbei
did this
Maybe someone did it on purpose
to frame him
Your majesty, maybe someone evil planned this
to break the relationship
between us
Someone evil?
If I stopped it today
by this time tomorrow
the deceived people will
be crowed ai the gate of my palace
Please let me be direct
You seldom go out
But you witnessed this incident
Isn't it too accidental?
General Song, what do you mean?
Are you saying
I'm the one behind this
You are too sensitive
That's not what I mean
The Majesty witnessed it today
It shows that His Majesty
is really chosen by God.
General Song, you came from the north,
and had been defending the frontier for three years.
So, you are well acquainted with Duke Dingbei.
I want to warn you that,
you should be aware of your position.
Don't confound right and wrong, and help the evil.
Yuwen Huai,
this incident is still under investigation.
However, you claim that
Duke Dingbei is behind it.
Duke Dingbei has been
guarding Yanbei for years.
He fought Rouran with undivided loyalty.
Further more, he is the sworn brother of His Majesty.
In my opinion,
he won't do it.
I'm confused.
The anwser is quite clear now.
And you are still justifying Duke Dingbei.
Who are you loyal to?
Shut up!
Wei Guang.
Yes, Your Majesty.
What do you think?
I also think that
Duke Dingbei has the greatest suspicion.
How about you, Zhao Gui?
I think that
Duke Dingbei is very suspicious.
He has had intention of rebellion
for a long time.
I won't be surprised
if he does something treacherous.
Master Zhao, I'd like to hear
when you get the information
of Duke Dingbei's intention of rebellion.
Do you have any proof?
Why don't you share it with us?
Say it!
oops!
Deliver my order:
arrest rebel Yan Shicheng.
Also,
Wei Guang and Yuwen Huai,
you capture Yan Xun.
Everyone that is on the riverbank
must be killed.
If anyone
gives away
what happened today,
kill him.
Yes, Your Majesty.
