[Episode 43]
Seeing this badge is as good as seeing the emperor of Great Duan.
We have koumiss in our tent. (Fermented mare's milk liquor)
Come and have a cup with us.
You're always sitting so high up there.
Your back will hurt.
The leader of the Helan Clan, Helan Tie Yuan, is being summoned
to the Muyun military camp for a discussion of matters.
Leave immediately. There is to be no delay.
You're always giving out orders.
Why are we being asked over to discuss matters today?
What matters are we discussing?
It's my order to take you with me.
What if I don't wish to go?
If you don't arrive with me at our camp within three days
it won't be just me riding out here alone.
You're very bold.
You're also just as bold.
That's what all the people in Han Prefecture say about me!
I'm very bold!
But that's all right.
I'll find you a spot with the best sunset...
Maybe it won't be the best one.
But a pretty good one.
What is it?
A burial spot.
The Helan Clan killed our messenger.
This has been deemed as rebellion.
Annihilate the clan according to the law.
This battle serves as a warning to the eight clans of Han Prefecture.
Wipe them out fast
so as to demonstrate the Duan Empire's law and order!
Yes!
What if we were wrong?
The drunk one lives.
The sober one dies.
The drunk one becomes a slave to survive.
The sober one dies fighting.
Those who were slaves are now sober for your sake.
Those who follow your lead today...
shall all be male eagles.
Shuofeng He Ye...
My brother.
Whoever survives today will tell our stories all across Han Prefecture.
I regret it now.
I once promised that you would live on the lushest meadows of Han Prefecture.
But I regret saying that now.
Because what I truly wish to give you is the world!
It's the richest land in all of Novoland!
- Yes! - Yes!
Remember this day!
It's from this day forth
there's only one grand path for us.
This path will lead us all the way to the Royal Tian Qi City!
This day shall be recorded in the history books.
Therefore, my brothers!
Let your blades become brushes that shall pass on stories of your glory!
Let the enemies' blood become ink that shall print stories of your victory!
It is today. Today!
This is the first day that the Great Duan Empire begins to fall!
Kill!
Fight until death!
Attack!
Offer their blood to our military banner!
Strike!
God Pandar!
Positions!
Attack!
Brace!
- Brace! - Brace!
Send out the infantry.
Yes!
Infantry!
Attack!
The drunk one becomes a slave to survive!
The sober one dies fighting!
Come with me!
The Danyao Clan?
How is this possible?
For 300 years, no clans in Han Prefecture have formed an alliance.
Why are those two clans joining forces?
Take down the occultists' clan first!
Left wing cavalry!
Draw your blades!
Come with me!
All armed forces!
Attack!
Werewolves...
Why would they obey the command of humans?
Spread word of the Helan Clan's reputation far and wide!
Make the other seven clans pledge allegiance to our banner!
From now on, they shall all give allegiance to us one by one!
Can you do that?
I will... surely accomplish the task.
Go on.
Go!
The eight clans of Han Prefecture will be united.
It's only a matter of time now.
Our time... is about to begin.
Suqin Jin Gang seeks audience with the Iron Wielder!
The Suqin Clan?
What is it?
Suqin Zi Yan, our lady of the clan, has a gift to return.
I, Suqin Zi Yan, swear to--
Smart woman.
I like that.
Your Majesty, urgent military report.
Han Prefecture has rebelled.
Han Prefecture...
They have neither war horses nor weapons.
Their people aren't united.
Just send the troops in to annihilate them.
Your Majesty...
Captain Gusong Tuo of the Silver Muyun Army
summoned the leaders of all eight clans urgently.
The Helan Clan used this chance to rebel.
Gusong Tuo...
He led the army to pacify them
and was met with resistance from the clan leaders.
The entire army was annihilated.
Gusong Tuo was killed in the battle.
My son?
Why would Gusong Tuo suddenly summon all eight clan leaders?
Speak.
It's rumored that Prince Han gave such orders.
He wished to detain the clan leaders
while searching for Princess Jing, Muyun Yan Shuang.
Detain the clan leaders?
This is provocation.
Your Highness has acted recklessly!
Your Majesty, I've never given such orders!
Your Highness, are you going to have my son take the fall for it?
He already died fighting, so please don't give him a bad name!
What exactly is this about?
Speak!
It was me. I was worried about Princess Jing's safety.
I was wrong.
Father, please punish me.
Perhaps, you aren't at fault.
It's just that...
You're also a soft-hearted man.
Master Gusong.
My condolences.
Han, you should also get up.
Yes.
Is there anything else to discuss?
Your Majesty, Han Prefecture has always been in a state of disunity.
Now that the eight clans have formed an alliance...
that makes them a ferocious beast!
Could it be that our 300 years of peace will now come to an end?
Disaster... will soon strike us?
Master Xue, don't scare yourself.
As recorded in the historical books
even our founding emperor didn't dare to take on
the eight clans of Han Prefecture.
They have yet to grow in power, so we need not fear them yet!
Is that so?
If Han Prefecture were not ready to take us on
why would they dare to go against the royal garrison guards?
I find it strange.
Haven't Great General Muru and Prince Han been guarding Han Prefecture?
Have you not noticed any clues at all?
Master Xue!
When facing the enemies, instead of joining hands with your colleagues
you choose to slander them?
What is your motive?
- You-- - That's enough!
Since Han Prefecture rebelled, just attack them!
Muru Shuo.
Present.
How many of the Muru Cavalry are in Han Prefecture?
We have 20,000 cavalrymen there.
Command them to set out and annihilate the clans!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, I think that
Great General Muru should lead this conquest.
This is just a rebellion of some trivial clan!
Why would we need to deploy the Great Duan Empire's Great General?
It's exactly because Great General is renown throughout Novoland
that we can end this rebellion as soon as possible.
Your Majesty.
I'm just concerned about the finances for Your Majesty.
It's the transport of rations that will cost the most
when there are battles in Han Prefecture.
The sooner we put an end to it, the fewer goldlings we'll spend.
Right now, the rebels have yet to grow strong in numbers.
However, since we've been informed of their victory
over the Muyun Silver Army
I'm afraid the entire North Continent must also have heard of it by now.
If this drags on
more of Han Prefecture's people will join the rebellious clan.
If so, the royal treasury might run out of our silver.
Your Majesty... We'll then have to borrow money from Arch Prince Ye.
We'll discuss this another day.
You're dismissed.
I've already seen to all there is to handle inside and outside He Ge's manor.
He Ge's food, drinks, and expenses will be taken care of.
The doctor will visit his manor every half a year to check on his health.
Should one day He Ge be pardoned
and he is one ounce lighter than he once was
you can hold me responsible.
You're smiling so happily?
Muyun Sheng and Muyun Han are now no longer favored.
Although He Ge is still in captivity
he must look on the bright side and start planning ahead.
He should recuperate and conserve his energy.
There might be a good chance that a bright future is ahead of him.
Don't assume that I'll be grateful to you for doing so.
I don't need you to be grateful.
Being grateful to me simply isn't enough at all.
What is it that you want?
I want you to be happy.
I want you to be truly happy.
I want... Nanku Ming Yi's laughter.
You want... His Majesty's sovereignty.
In such times, you can't be honest with another man.
Nor can you be honest with a woman.
It's just so hard to find an honest person
to share some honest words with.
You'll never outshine Muyun Qin.
Muyun Qin is ruthless to me.
But at least his feelings are honest.
Yet you...
Yours are not.
Then what is it that I have in here?
Ambition.
You can put those officials to use now.
Your friends are my friends.
What is it?
You're not willing to share?
How would you like to put them to use?
Get them to persuade His Majesty to have
Muru Shuo lead the army to Han Prefecture.
Father, you're helping His Majesty... pacify the unrest?
Certainly.
I have friends in the royal court who are in charge of money.
They won't supply them with that many rations and provisions.
I'd like to see if this valiant Great General His Majesty trusts
truly wins every battle.
If he is defeated on the plains of Han Prefecture
I'd like to see who else His Majesty can rely on.
Father, you're wielding your double-edged sword even better now.
After Muru Shuo leaves and leads the army to war
get some people to remind His Majesty every now and then
that Muru Shuo's son, Muru Han Jiang
was foretold to seize the throne and become the next emperor.
As the emperor...
you shouldn't trust anyone around you.
That is the right thing to do.
Right, I have already assigned Mister Mo to His Majesty's side.
In no time, he shall be appointed as the Duan Empire's High Priest of Divination.
If he has to tell His Majesty some stories of prophecies...
it won't be too difficult.
It seems that Mister Mo is still quite a useful godfather?
Isn't this just so I can be filial to you?
We welcome the newly appointed High Priest of Divination
Mister Mo Yu Chen to the palace.
I'll get going.
Godfather, take care.
Once Godfather enters the palace... It will be hard to see you again.
Dangers lurk in the palace.
Godfather, please be careful.
Muyun De...
I shall always keep you on my mind.
Is it good?
I just happened to pass by here.
Be careful.
Come down here.
I need to speak to you.
Go on. What is it?
You said that you won't allow the prophecy to decide your fate.
You want to control your own destiny.
Didn't you say so?
You actually remembered?
I'll help you.
But on one condition.
I'll be away for some time.
During this period of time, don't go anywhere.
Wait until I return.
You want me to wait. Do you want me to wait for you?
Wait for your own destiny.
I'll bring it back to you.
What will that be?
You did keep it.
Why are you sabotaging my present?
If I can't make it back, whoever comes for you will bring half of the tassel.
If you don't see the tassel, don't go anywhere.
Do you hear me?
I'll get going.
Where are you going?
Be good and wait until I get back.
When will you return?
