Episode Forty-three
Chun'er.
Seventh Brother.
What happened to you?
It's all because of Chu Qiao.
If there wasn't her,
all the things wouldn't happen today.
It's all because of her.
Chu Qiao?
If you catch her, you will catch the traitor,
Yanxun.
Just go and catch her.
Thirteenth brother.
Where did Chu Qiao go?
That way.
Let's go.
Yes.
Please remit your anger, Your Majesty.
Fortunately,
the thirteenth prince and the princess Chun'er
have come back safely.
Who is safe?
My most beloved son
has become disabled now.
Pass my decree
to capture the traitor Yanxun.
I want to see him or his body.
Yes, your majesty.
Your Majesty, how about the maidservant
who escaped with Yanxun?
Sha has made the same crime as Yanxun, just kill her.
Yes.
My dear Countess concubine.
You don't look well.
I know that you are worried about Hao'er.
But you still need to
concern your own health.
I have already sent out every one of the the Highest Judiciary,
the internal security forces of the Palace
and the government of Chang'an.
There will be news about Hao'er soon.
Your Majesty.
Viscountess concubine.
Zhu Siliu from the Red Hills Court of the Yuwen Palace
is coming to see you.
There must be some news about Hao'er.
Just let him in.
Yes.
Did you find Hao'er, didn't you?
Did you find the prince, didn't you?
Viscountess concubine, I knew
that you are worried about the little prince.
I really have searched for the little prince
with all my heart.
But... it...
Where is the prince?
Viscountess concubine, it's all
Yuwen Huai's fault.
Viscountess concubine, I just searched the whole palace
to find the little prince.
I was too late.
Little prince.
Open it up.
I'm asking you to open it up.
You can't see it, Viscountess concubine.
You can't see it.
Get out.
Viscountess concubine.
I would have known it early,
the one like me
doesn't deserve any good life.
Viscountess concubine, please don't say that.
But God,
the one who had the guilty is me,
if you want to punish anyone,
please punish me.
Why did you
take my Hao'er away?
He was so young.
It's you, isn't it?
You couldn't stay with
your own kid,
so you just sent your daughter
to take my kid away,
did you?
The appearance of your daughter
has taken all of this away.
Your daughter killed my kid.
I would never let her have any easy time.
Killing you?
That would be too easy.
Emasculate him.
Yes, Your Highness.
Your Highness.
Move.
Your Highness. Please just kill me.
Your Highness.
Your Highness. Please just kill me.
Please just kill me.
Your Highness.
Remember.
From now on, you are here to
serve me at the Palace of Lan Fu
because you owed me.
Yes, Your Highness.
Your Highness.
Our people are back.
There is no sign of Miss Chu.
You have been away from several days,
but you didn't find any information about A Chu.
Your Highness. We tried our best.
Keep looking.
If you are short of people, just send more people out.
You must bring A Chu back.
Didn't you hear what I said.
Your Highness.
After Yuan brother and sister arrived at Chang'an,
an order for arresting Miss Chu
was sent out.
Right now,
the arresting orders with
Miss Chu's portrait on it
have sent to everywhere
in the shortest time.
The entire Wei State is search for
Miss Chu.
They bite the hand that feeds.
Jing.
Send out my order.
If A Chu is hurt
in anyone's place,
I shall
kill his entire family.
Yes, sir.
Your Royal Highness. Young Master Wei is here.
(Sound of knocking)
Your Royal Highness?
Your Royal Highness. I am here now.
Your Royal Highness.
(Sound of opening up the door)
Chun'er.
Come on in.
(Sound of closing up the door)
I am so glad that
you returned safely.
I was so worried about you.
I couldn't eat or sleep.
Now everything is all right.
You returned safely.
Otherwise…
Wei Shuye.
You fancy me, right?
I…
I can get married with you,
but there is one condition attached.
Chun'er.
Are you leaving now?
Yes.
Where are you going?
Before Yan Xun escaped from Chang'an,
we arrested a spy from
the Liang State.
We got a detailed confession from her.
Based on this confession,
we were able to get rid of
the spies placed by the Liang State in Chang'an.
Then we followed this lead
and found a map
of the distribution of spies throughout the country.
They were involved in
what happened to the Duke of Dingbei
and the incident in Chang'an.
I shall
bring them all down.
After I leave,
you need to be careful.
So long.
I heard that maid escorted
Her Royal Highness and His Royal Highness Yu back to Chang'an.
She can't reach the troop of Xiuli now.
She is a wanted woman.
Yes.
If you come across her,
what will you do?
Grandfather,
what do you think I should do?
I am not telling you to kill her.
I only wish you don't
get involved with her again.
You are disobeying my order?
You were just like me.
You were even willing to disable your legs
to protect
that woman.
Why are you
forcing me now?
Because I regret what I did.
Does that surprise you?
I was too young.
I was deceived by her lovely words
and lost my mind.
I risked my future
and ruined my life.
I let the entire family down.
My parents and relatives were desperate because of that.
You are doing this for a woman
who betrayed you,
let you down and doesn't belong to you.
What?
Won't you regret?
If you could reverse the time,
would you
let that woman die?
Maybe you will regret
what you did
many years later.
However, if I don't do it now, I will definitely regret.
I shall excuse myself.
Those who are competent should serve the society.
When the country is in peace,
the legislators should refind the law.
According to the poem,
then even a country with wealth and strong military power will be afraid of it.
Don't poke your nose into other's business when you are out there.
Better safe than sorry
Mencius says
that gentleman should put benevolence
and reason in his heart.
The benevolent care about others. The well-mannered respect others.
This…
If there is someone bullying the weak
while I just leave the weak to die,
it's against the benevolence.
Dai Bao,
it is in the day time.
There won't be any bad people, right?
I think
if I come across two farmers arguing,
I go to stop them
and let them make peace with each other.
That will be all,
right?
You agree, right?
(Sound of fighting)
Dai Bao, you agree with me, right?
What?
What? Dai Bao,
Did you go to the wrong direction?
My name is Liang Shaoqin.
I just come across here.
I chose the wrong path.
I am leaving now.
Dai Bao,
let's go. Why aren't you moving?
Dai Bao,
let's go.
You…
You see,
a group of men
bully a weak girl.
This is unreasonable.
There is an old saying that
The reasonable will live happily,
while the unreasonable will suffer.
You are the unreasonable right now.
I can inform the officials for you.
Let's go to a court of law.
At a court of law,
things can be resolved much easier.
If you don't want to go to the law court,
maybe you could tell me
what happened.
I can help you.
Shut up.
Well…
you are
just a weak girl.
How could you
fight with those men?
Look, they are all
holding swords.
What if they hurt you?
You better
come with me.
If you have something
that can't be resolved,
I shall offer my help.
Stop fighting against each other.
It is uncivil.
Let's me tell you.
(Indistinctive words)
(Sound of fighting)
Why are you on my horse?
It is improper for men and women to be so close.
My books. My money.
My poems.
My passport.
Why are you doing this?
Stop.
You
Why are you
so unreasonable?
I saved you.
You threw all of
my money and stuff away.
How dare you.
I guess I am just in bad luck.
Stupid woman.
Let's go. Dai Bao.
Let's go.
It was running too fast.
It needs some rest.
What are you going to do?
What am I going to do?
I am going to pick up
my stuff.
Are you trying to get yourself killed?
If I lost them, I would be in huge trouble.
Without my passport,
how can I go into the city?
How can I stay in an inn?
Besides,
I have nothing to do with them,
and they are officials.
What would they possibly do to me?
You knew
they are officials.
Do you know who I am?
You saved me.
They probably think
you are my conspirator.
You are Dai Bao, right?
Thank you for saving me.
Miss,
I am the one who saved you,
not it.
You don't thank me.
Why did you thank a horse?
Dai Bao,
I am sorry.
I am not saying bad things about you.
You saved me?
When did that happen?
Why didn't I know?
I saved you,
but you don't even thank me.
How could you treat me like this?
You even humiliated me.
Did you kill those officials?
Did you
help us escape?
You did nothing.
Why are you saying you saved me?
Am I right, Dai Bao?
You…
I…
I went to
reason with them.
I solved the mess
and then…
Then what?
Did they put down their swords
and let us leave?
It is good that you have a sense of justice.
You also need to be smart.
If you are incompetent, just go away.
If not for this good horse,
we would be dead by now.
I…
You definitely
can't get your things back.
I repay you
with this.
I…
I am sorry
you lost your passport.
You can report it to an official.
It's not safe here.
I shall escort you to the next town.
How about this?
I don't want your money.
I am an
honest man.
I won't be safe
if I am with you.
You are such a young girl,
but you are chased
by so many officials.
You are either a criminal
or a thief.
Let's go.
Dai Bao, let's go.
Nerd.
You really don't need this money?
The city of Xianyang is not far away from here.
Without money, how could you get in?
I would rather die than taking your money.
Your Highness.
We are about to arrive at the city of Hongchuan.
When I left Yanbei,
my father
sent me here.
The Emperor gave the imperial decreed that
every General who was
guarding the border
sent one of their children
to Chang'an.
No one responded.
The Emperor wrote to
my father.
After my father finished reading the letter,
he turned around
and said to my two brothers and me,
“Which one of you
would like go to Chang'an?
It will only be one year.”
My eldest brother asked my father,
“Aren't the Emperor and you are brothers?
Why is he doubting you?”
My father responded,
“Because we are brothers.
If I don't support him,
no one will.”
At the day, I decided
I would go to Chang'an.
Because he was my father.
If I didn't support him,
who would?
Open the Gate.
I am Yan Xun. I am back.
Open the Gate.
I the Prince of Yanbei.
Open the Gate.
My Yan
I'm back
I've changed
Have you?
Your highness
General Cheng, where are the leaders of tribes？
Your highness, I have sent some one to check
No one exists within twenty miles
Did you send the invitation cards
into their hand?
Of course
Did you mark that
it is today?
Yes
Then why no one is here?
Prince
Maybe something happened
on the way
I go and check
No need
Prince
You send out the card three days ago
No one comes till now
The only possibility is that
they never want to be here
Why?
You burned Chang'an
making your way back to Yan with blood
Who doesn't be aware of your name
and what you did by now?
The majesty of Wei lost his dignity
He won't just let you go
So he will gather his troops
to attack Yan
By then the eight tribes
will have to fight with the army of Wei
They dare not to do it
The allies of
my father
I thought they could
help me a little bit
Seems like I was thinking too much
I heard the Tribe Huo hold a part
with all-beef dishes today
The leaders of all tribes
will attend
Tribe Huo?
The leader is A'gutu
the little brother of the ex-leader Enge
Enge is the bloody of your father
When the City Beishuo was attacked
Enge led his troops to help the lord
but were killed
by A'gutu on the way
He not only killed his brother, robbed his brother's wife
but also slaughtered all the sons of
Enge
He is known as a cruel wolf
on the grassland
If you set off now
you may be able to attend the party in time too
Let's go
I can show you the way
Your highness
Mr. Wu is here soon
Let him deal with
things here
Since I am back
no need to have him care about this
Wait for him here
We'll be back soon
Your highness
This is the new brand
Miss Yu said
we can hang it up
after announcing the guilt of Wei
Hang it now
Have you heard it?
What are you waiting for?
The prince says to hang it now
The Palace of Master of Yan
This knife is called Dragon Bird
It was said to be owned by Bai Qi
a famous general in the Warring States period
with the soul of demon hidden in it
Need to be fed with blood
Do not fail it
Thank you, your highness
Come on, buddies
Here, fill it
Let's toast for the leader
Fill the wine
Leader
Drink it all
Drink
Listen to me
The wolfing Yan Xun
want to take all the warriors on the grassland to
suicide with him
Daydreaming
Who is his father?
Regarded as the lion king of Yan
Twenty years's winning
Never been defeated inside or outside the border
Wasn't he has his head cut
in just one round?
Right
Yeah
Come on. Drink
Come on
Drink the wine
But
I heard on his wedding day
he refused the marriage
right in front of the majesty led his people to
fill the Chang'an City with blood
Pretty brave
Who can't buff himself?
Yeah
Filled the city with blood?
Have you seen that yourself?
Punish you have a wine
Punish. Punish. Punish
I... I drink
Fill the cup
Okay
Don't increase others' morale by reducing our own
The kid just
took a chance to
sneak out of Chang'an
Then he ran all the way back to Yan
like a defeated dog
He was sent to Chang'an
since childhood
He stayed such a long time
in such a prosperous place
His determination has long been blown away
by the wind of Chang'an
Can he still hold the sword?
Yeah, right
Once the war begins
he cannot beat our Wuya
That's right
Yeah
Right
Come on
Here
I'll fill the cup
Come on
Who are you?
Why are you coming for?
I am asking you
Are you all deaf...
Sit down
Let me introduce myself
I'm Yan Xun
Your new king
Master
Xian Yang is right ahead of us
Right here, master
Please, master
Is everything
I told you done?
Yes, master
After I got the secret message
I found three hidden strongholds of
Liang agents in Xianyang
after following
your order
The biggest one is here
also likely the most important one
But we were too late
When we rush in
all the secret letters here
had been burnt into ashes
The agents here
had eaten poison to kill themselves
Who are they?
She is
the cook here
Be hired to prepare meals
That is her son
They say they are local
Do not know nothing
Please
Do not kill my baby
We do not know anything
Please let us go
(Crying)
Come here, boy
No No
My baby
No
What are you doing? Let me go
Let me go
My baby
Is she your mom?
Where is your mom?
Take her down
Question this women strictly
I will
Boy
Do you have any other family?
Then from now on
he's yours
I
Ma... Master
I am not even married
How can I have a child
out of a sudden?
The master is caring about you
He worries you cannot find a wife
So he gives you a child to
look after you when you get old
But, I...
Accept him
Go
Say dad
Dad
Master
The woman have comfessed
She said
the people from Lian recently
contacted closely with a chamber of commerce
recently
Most importantly
the chamber isn't clean
It's like this
Businessmen here
form many chambers of commerce
They do businesses together
and support each other
Year after year
Four Grand Chambers appear
These four chambers
almost monopolize businesses of
all the fields in the city
But three years ago
another chamber named Xianyang Chamber
appear out of nowhere in Xianyang
This chamber develop at a high speed
Enemies of it
never end well
Now in the southeast, rice
flour, grains, oil,
tea and silk
everything except for water transport and salt
are all run by them
I heard that
they even start the business of
military horses and iron mine
The one contacts with Liang
Is it this Xianyang Chamber?
Yes, it is
Who leads them?
Their leader
covers to be a member of a wealth family
Named Liu Xi, councillor Liu
Known as the kind-hearted Liu
He worked as official
Quit and back to hometown
didn't know why
Then he started to do business
But rumors say
in fact
he is not the real leader
but a guy of mafia
Who is this mafia guy?
Or what does he look like?
I never saw him
They call him Forth Master Feng
You are saying
this chamber is related to Liang
Yes
I suspect
they are all from Liang
Look, in this chamber
except Liu Xi
everyone else just came out
out of a sudden
Their identity and background
are mysterious
This Liu Xi you talked about
where did he worked as a official?
I do not know it
But not hard to find out
Okay, check it out
Yes
Wait
How's the mission I handled you
going on?
Do not worry, master
I have sent out
the portrait of that girl
Now
all the agents here in the city are working on it
Once the girl
enter the Xianyang City
we will find her instantly
Do not be too confident
They are just like you
They can change their look or voice
Not so easy to find her
Attention, please
Have a look
New comings
Have a look
Best slaves
in Xianyang
Attention, please
Anyone you prefer?
The price can be discussed
Have a look
Best slaves
in Xianyang
New products
What? Do not recognize me?
You...
Shut up
Or I will
leave you here
turn around and go now
Tell me
if there's anyone you like
Master
Do you want to buy a slave servant?
I want to see if there is someone suitable
Okay
How much is this one?
He?
He was just caught by the guards
at the city gate
He was so not polite that
he abuses the minister
Turns out you are so awesome
I like one with character
I want him
Luck you!
Okay
Hurry up
Untie me
Is this your attitude talking with
your master?
What master?
I am a scholar
How can you trade me
with money?
You are insulting my dignity
It is you to blame
that I end up here
That is not true
First, I did not ask you to save me
You were stepping into something
unrelated to you without enough ability,
right?
Now I save you instead
We are even
Second, I payed you money
You were too arrogant to accept it
I...
Third
You end up like this
It is all your fault
You deserve it
I have nothing to do with it
You woman. How can you...
Shut up
I am warning you
I have something
important to do
No one will save you
if you get caught again
Goodbye
Fine
A man in the world
has his principles to do or refuse to do
I'll go myself
Your highness
You come to find me
just to frink or
talk about women?
You are a boring man
I won't find you
if I really want to drink
Chu Qiao?
She works for Yan Xun
She is quite popular lately.
The Emperor of the Wei State offers a reward of a thousand taels of silver
for people who kill her.
What?
Your Highness also knows her?
She is a beautiful woman
whom I met
in Chang'an City.
Your Highness
is really romantic.
She must have offended Your Highness in some way.
So Your Highness made up your mind
to kill her.
No.
On the contrary,
I want to ask you to save her.
Your Highness,
I, Zhan Ziyu,
always just kill people.
I have never done such thing
as saving people.
I will not mistreat you.
I have a message
this is very important to you.
You have been looking for a person.
Xia Chong.
Your Highness know where he is?
In the secret prison of the Liang State.
Let me out.
Let me out.Let me out.
Let me out.
Miss.
Miss, you come to buy me again.
Why are you in there again?
I... This...
How do I know that?
Miss, you are the only one
who can get me out of here.
I am a scholar.
How can I become a slave?
Also, they are always
picky about me.
This is...
Please get me out of here soon.
How can I save you?
Buy me again.
