[The Young Warriors]
>> Episode 31 <<
Somethings happening to your family. I know you will want to be with your family.
If it were me, I'd have left long ago.
But would your father let me go?
We are mountain bandits and not robbers.
We won't force anyone to help us.
Furthermore, we're letting you go back earlier to take care your family matter.
You can also come back to help me again, right?
No. I should be saying, what do you think, Mister?
That's just great. Wait for me to finish taking care of my family.
I'll definitely come back and get you married.
That's what you say! You must keep your words.
Otherwise, I'll go to Tianbo Manor personally and bring you back here.
No problem.
Let's go
[Tianbo Manor]
Yang's Son Seven, you should quickly go and see what the situation is like at Tianbo Manor.
Then when I'm done with this, I'll go back to Flying Tiger Gang
and teach you how to be a lady so you can find your ideal husband.
Ok, no problem. I trust you.
Boss, how much is this birdcage?
- Go on. - Yes.
Young Master Seven, please.
- Young Master Seven. - Young Master Seven.
- Older Bro Six. - Younger Bro Seven, why are you back?
- I just got back. - Do Mother and Father know?
- Of course not. - Why didn't you tell them?
Let's not talk about all this right now.
Younger Bro Six, listen to me, are you competing with the Liaos?
- Do you also know about it? - Yes.
I heard that it is an evil setup by the Liao's Day Spirit.
You must not fall into his trap.
I know. They must have a scheme, but I must show up
because this involves the reputation of our family.
But Older Bro Six, what if something happens? Then what?
My one life is insignificant, but the reputation of the family is important.
Furthermore, this pertains to the safety of our Song dynasty.
Older Bro Six, but—
Enough, stop talking about me. You just came back. Go see Mother and Father.
No way. Father is still mad at me.
No, he isn't
He is. I'm sure he still hasn't forgiven me yet.
Son Seven.
- Father. - Am I that unreasonable?
Father.
Leaving can never solve the problem.
It's time to face it.
Father. When I broke out from jail, it was never for escaping the punishment.
I was forced to do it.
I had to run away.
Father, what he said is the truth.
Father and Mother, I'm speaking the truth. I'm not lying to you.
Son Seven, both your father and I never suspected you.
Get up.
That day, the prison guards were killed and there were no witnesses to corroborate your story.
It is difficult to reopen this case and declare your innocence based on your testimony alone.
You and your Older Bro Four were both too compulsive and took actions without thinking first.
That is what caused this irrevocable situation. Do you know that?
Since it's already come to this, there's no use in talking about it anymore.
Right now, I'm worried that once the Pan Renmei finds out that Son Seven is back, there'll be trouble.
Of course, I know.
Why don't we take Son Seven to somewhere safe and we'll think about what to do later?
Mother, even if I have to leave, I want to wait until after Older Bro Six's battle with Yelü Xie.
Younger Bro Seven, I know you care about me, but right now you're in more danger.
Listen to Mother and leave Tianbo Manor.
Big trouble! Master, Madam, there's big trouble.
Pan Renmei brought troops and completely surrounded Tianbo Manor.
He also declares that he wants to capture Son Seven.
Son Seven just got back. How has he gotten hold of this information that quickly?
- Men. Arrest the imperial criminal, Yang's Son Seven. - Yes.
Just a minute.
Minister Pan, this is Tianbo Manor.
Tianbo Manor? Yang Ye, your time has come.
You first allowed your son to kill the guards and escape the prison and then you harbored a fugitive.
Both of these offenses are punishable by death.
These crimes are enough to exterminate the entire Yang family.
General Yang, do you think that your status as Chief Commander
puts you above the law?
What are you saying? The one who thinks he's above the law is you.
Son Seven.
Yang's Son Seven, I advise you to give yourself up.
I will not be lenient today.
Pan's Army has entirely surrounded the Tianbo Manor.
You can escape the Tianbo Mansion, but you cannot escape Bianjing City.
Do you think our Tianbo Manor is afraid of your Pan's Army?
If your Pan's Army takes another step, we, Yang's Army, won't be polite anymore.
Don't think you can point to black and say it's white and invert right from wrong.
Father, a person is responsible for his own actions. I'll fight him to the death!
Father.
Minister Pan, you are right. My Son Seven killed the wardens.
As a father, I should've captured him and presented him to the court.
But, since he is an imperial prisoner,
I should bring him to the palace and present him to His Majesty for a verdict.
It's not for you to take actions privately.
Father.
Bring the ropes here.
Are you really going to do this?
- Old Master. - Father.
- Father.
I'll go with you.
- Son Seven! - Father!
We cannot let Younger Bro Seven be slaughtered by Pan Renmei.
We need to think of a plan.
Son Six, immediately notify Eighth Virtuous Prince.
Okay.
[The Young Warriors]
Your Majesty, I am inept at guiding my son, which led him to wrongly kill the person.
Although he was sentenced to two years at a military post, he was chased by assassins in the prison.
He was forced to escape from death.
Nonsense.
Are you saying that Yang's Son Seven was chased by assassins?
Where are the assassins then?
The prison guards were the assassins.
They wanted to kill me first.
That's why I defended myself.
Do you think you can frame others with just your words?
The prison guards had been loyal to the dynasty.
They were definitely not assassins.
Minister Kou should be most aware of this, right?
Those prison guards who were killed indeed had been loyal to the dynasty for many years.
But there is something suspicious about this.
What suspicions would there be?
At that time, Yang's Son Seven was in jail.
I was guarding there but I suddenly had stomach pains.
I suspect that someone added poison to my tea to make me leave the jail momentarily.
Yang's Son Seven was in jail then.
It's not possible for him to add the poison.
Isn't this very clear?
He had an accomplice.
Prime Minister Pan. Why are your views always different from others?
When Minister Kou left, there were no witnesses on site then.
Whether the prison guards wanted to assassinate Son Seven of the Yang family or he killed the wardens,
there is no way to establish it.
There is one more point.
Yang's Son Seven had been given a lenient punishment by Your Majesty.
He had been exiled from the army for two years
so why would he still commit such a crime by killing someone?
That's right.
His Majesty, as the youngest son in the family, Yang's Son Seven is spoiled and arrogant.
He killed my son and still didn't repent.
He even killed the prison guards and escaped from prison.
His Majesty, if you are merciful and sentence him lightly, the kingdom will ridicule you.
Letting the world think that the Yang's family achievements are taboo for you
so you tolerate Yang's Son Seven treating human life as grass*. (* a complete disregard for human life)
Prime Minister.
Your words are a bit too extreme.
I strongly abide by principles, and regard the imperial law as an order.
I have tolerated Yang's Son Seven.
It's not tolerable anymore.
Such a violent offender should be executed.
Otherwise, the imperial law will be undermined and the kingdom will collapse under lawlessness.
Prime Minister Pan has spoken very well.
Abide by principles, and regard the imperial law as an order.
Even though there are doubts in the death of the prison guards, we should investigate this thoroughly first.
We shouldn't frame a good man.
Frame a good man? Don't tell me you are shielding your son and tolerating his crime?
I am judging the matter as it stands and also as the evidence shows.
The Imperial Physician checked the tea that Minister Kou drank.
There was Croton Tiglium in it.
So what?
I sent someone to investigate later.
He finally found a peasant household.
The peasant said that among the dead prison guards,
one had purchased the Croton Tiglium from him.
Is that right?
A prison guard went to buy Croton Tiglium?
That's right.
This proves that this prison guard had evil intentions.
Furthermore, when those prison guards died, their families moved out from the city immediately.
In the countryside they bought land and estates.
In a short time, they became extremely wealthy.
I believe that someone must have rewarded them greatly.
I was suspicious so I investigated further.
It turns out these prison guards had worked for Prime Minister Pan's family many years ago.
The guards bought Croton Tiglium before their deaths and after their deaths they received rewards.
This is abnormal.
His Majesty , I believe the situation is as my son claims.
Someone bribed the guards to kill him.
You do not have any witnesses.
You Majesty, do not believe his one-sided story.
Whether it is a one-sided story or not, we can further investigate and the truth will come out.
At that time, there will be evidence of more people who were involved.
It will no longer be about only one or two lives.
Prime Minister Pan. Am I right?
Your Majesty. Please think carefully about this.
Prime Minister, I know that you are in pain from your son's death and it is difficult to remain calm.
However, the tragedy has already occurred.
If you continue to investigate, I am afraid that people will be punished indiscriminately.
This is what I don't want to see.
He definitely killed them.
That's right.
Yang's Son Seven, you will not receive a death penalty, but you will be punished.
Let's do this. Your punishment is by floggings.
- Prime Minister Pan, what do you think of this? - Floggings?
Floggings is an appropriate punish for his escape from custody.
But the punishment of sending him to a military post for two years,
don't tell me that we should excuse him from that?
Of course, we should do this.
After the floggings, he will be exiled from the army for two years.
Yang's Son Seven, I can tell you that
this is the lightest punishment for you.
Are you still not thanking him for his kindness?
Thank you, Your Majesty.
The floggings will be done by Prime Minister Pan, okay?
Since Your Majesty has ordered this,
I would like to propose a suggestion.
I will use the Five Whip.
But he must be whipped with the previous Emperor's Heavenly Silkworm Python whip.
The Heavenly Silkworm Python whip?
That whip is formidable beyond measure.
The average person cannot bear it.
Your Majesty.
Yang's Son Seven killed three people.
It's rare for His Majesty to show so much grace.
Are you still going to plead for more leniency?
Your Majesty. I'm willing to accept the floggings.
Yang's Son Seven, take these floggings.
Stop!
Prime Minister Pan, I am inept at guiding my son. I allowed him to commit a crime.
I will take the balance of the two floggings on his behalf.
Prime Minister. Enough is enough.
- Please stop and show some sympathies. - Prince.
I'm willing to take the punishments.
Indeed, the father is compassionate and the son is filial.
Very well, I will let you have your way.
Father.
Chief Commander Yang.
I'm sorry, Father.
S-orry.
Father.
[The Young Warriors]
Old Master and Young Master Seven are back.
- Old Master. - Father.
- Son Seven. - Father.
Mother.
Sit down now.
Prince.
Are you okay? Yes?
I'm fine. Don't be anxious.
Pan Renmei has gone overboard. He is too ruthless.
Father didn't have to take the punishments.
Foolish child.
I tied you up and brought you to the palace.
Of course, I need to bring you home.
How can I let you suffer alone?
I can finally come home and sleep well.
You still dare to say this? Come, help them to the infirmary.
- Hurry. - I'm fine. I still can walk.
- Father, walk slower. - Be careful.
I'll go ask Miss Luo to treat their wounds.
- Okay. - Okay.
Come. Take this medicine.
Thank you, Mother.
Father. I'm sorry.
I am unable to bring you glory and I have also humiliated you.
Don't say anymore.
I'm relieved that this can be solved.
Don't think too much about it.
Father. I didn't think that you would always believe that I'm innocent.
So, Father, you have been collecting evidence to overturn my case.
Are there any parents in the kingdom who don't love their children?
Besides I'm the person who knows about your temper the most.
It's only that everyone at the scene was killed.
I could not find much evidence remaining.
I could only try my best so as to prevent Pan Renmei from doing what he did.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
I wouldn't have worried so much then.
He is my son and I'm his father.
How could I possibly harm him?
Since you knew that Son Seven was framed, why did you still let him suffer?
If Son Seven was able to escape unscathed this time,
and Pan Renmei's pain of losing his son was not pacified,
he would hate him even more.
I wonder what tactics he will use against him in the future.
It was better that this time he was able to withstand the humiliation and bear the burden.
On one hand, that way, Pan Renmei's hatred will be lessened.
Also, this will allow Son Seven to be cleared of his crime.
He won't need to hide away from home.
This matter has been settled for the time being.
I'm just afraid that Pan Renmei won't be satisfied.
Son Pan, I couldn't force Yang's Son Seven to his death today.
I promise you, one day, I will make Yang's Son Seven pay double the price.
I will have him ripped to shreds and dismembered into ten thousand pieces.
Yang Ye, do you think you can protect your sons?
Even if they get past me today, they won't be able to avoid me tomorrow.
I don't believe that there's no one that can get rid of the Yang family.
Tomorrow, we'll see how Day Spirit and Yelü Xie
will take care of Yang's Son Six.
[Liao] [Song]
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Please rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
An elite gaze, a brilliant color. This is a marvelous horse.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
This is the imperial horse of Empress Dowager Xiao, the Wind Chaser war-horse.
This time, it was bestowed upon me to allow you
to witness the prowess of the Liao's war-horses.
Good.
A good horse is compatible with a good warrior. I believe this too.
Yang's Son Six. I would like you to ride the Ferghana horse and enter the competition.
I believe that you will be able to measure up against the Wind Chase war-horse.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Both Song and Liao sent renowned and brave men for this fair competition.
The rule of this competition is that whoever gets the flag first, he's the winner.
During the competition, take care not to overdo it.
You must not harm each other.
So as to avoid harming the relationship between the Song and the Liao.
Get ready! Go!
[The Young Warriors]
They say this Liao military strategist is clever in strategies and shrewd in tactics.
Looks like they are all just a false reputation.
Your Majesty, you must not belittle the enemy.
Yelü Xie has superior skills to Yang's Son Six.
In today's battle, the Liao only lost in terms of luck.
If they really fight all out, it's still unknown who the victor would be.
What you're saying does make sense.
Although the Liao military adviser and warriors are quite ferocious,
they still followed the rules of just touching the opponent.
Maybe they really are sincere to make peace this time.
Hmm
Then while they are in the capital, may Prime Minister help me understand their thoughts well.
I've had this intention from early on.
Prime Minister is really quite a meticulous person.
Your Majesty, I don't deserve your praise.
Prime Minister, why haven't I heard you mention that you have a daughter?
These are just family matters. No need to talk about them.
Although your daughter is a woman, she is very courageous.
She saved me from danger.
She really is my lucky star.
Your Majesty, you are over praising me.
28 years old, pretty and intelligent.
She really is compatible with Yang's Son Six.
A perfect couple that would be the envy of everyone.
My daughter and Yang's Son Six are just good friends.
She still is young and doesn't know proper etiquette so people tend to misunderstand her actions.
When I go back, I'll take some time to instruct my daughter well.
Prime Minister, sometimes you are too strict.
You shouldn't tighten your rope on young people too much.
Based on strength, the only one in the Yang family that is my rival is Yang's Son Five.
Yang's Son Six winning this time is all based on his little smartness and good luck.
Luck? Luck can determine life and death.
From time immemorial, the people who become emperors need not be the most brilliant and most outstanding person.
It's just that their good fortune is the strongest.
I don't believe that a person can be lucky his whole life.
I only believe in brute strength.
General Yelü, you are quite intelligent.
That's right. fortune and conditions are always changing,
either for a person or for the government.
Then what exactly is the fate of my country?
Is that Yang's Son Six really the nemesis of Great Liao?
Things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme.
Heaven and earth face opposite each other.
Co-exist and counter each other.
Although Yang's Son Six is destined to be Liao's source of calamity,
there are some changes that are slightly happening in his surroundings.
An evil object that usually is neglected by people is slowly propagating.
If we can use it well, Liao might be able to turn its fate around.
Yang's Son Six won't be that important anymore.
An evil object beside Yang's Son Six?
What you are referring is—
Maybe it is that lady. Wrong. The time isn't right yet.
It's still too early to say. Let's just wait and see.
Princess, are you in?
Princess—
I know that you don't want to see me.
I also know that you're still mad at me.
From now on, let's not fight about Miss Pan anymore, okay?
She and I are just ordinary friends.
At most, I think of her as a little sister.
Don't you understand what's in my heart?
I only have you in my heart.
No one can change how I feel about you.
If you're angry, if you're feeling suffocated, you can scream out loud.
It's okay if you yell at me or hit me.
Don't lock yourself up in your room, okay?
Alright, once you've thought it through, you can come find me.
I'm leaving now.
I'm really leaving.
Miss Pan.
Uncle Mute said Son Six was looking for me.
Where is he?
Son Six did come here. But he was looking for me. Sorry, Princess.
I thought you wouldn't want to see us together, so I told him to go home first.
From now on, let's not fight about Miss Pan anymore, okay?
She and I are just ordinary friends.
At most, I think of her as a little sister.
Don't you understand what's in my heart?
I only have you in my heart.
No one can change how I feel about you.
Just keep crying! Keep crying! What are you crying for?!
Stop crying!
You are indeed a rare talent, Miss Pan Ying.
Song will change because of you.
What did you say?
You won't understand what I'm saying now.
As long as you follow your heart,
and reveal your hidden innate characteristic, the true you will slowly show itself.
When that time comes, you will naturally understand.
The true me?
[Amituofo...]
Let me go. I don't belong here.
I want to return to the Prime Minister Manor. I'm the Prime Minister's daughter!
The Prime Minister has orders.
You have to change your heart and reform here. You cannot leave the mountain.
Buddha have mercy.
I will definitely leave this place. I don't belong here.
Come and drink with him. Come, beautiful woman.
I worked hard today. You must drink with me and make me happy.
Come, drink with him.
What martial arts skills can you teach me?
- Martial arts? - Baby, we've taught you all the martial arts that we know.
- That's right. - Just with our martial arts,
it's way enough for you to be able to travel around Jianghu.
- Do you all agree? - That's right.
Do you really have nothing else that you can teach me?
Why then must I still serve you all?!
Why did you let me see this? It wasn't me. - Miss Pan!
- Miss Pan, what's wrong? - Miss Pan.
Miss Pan, just what's wrong with you?
Miss Pan, what's wrong?
- Miss Pan. - Princess.
Uncle Mute. What's wrong?
What happened just now?
I had a nightmare.
I'm fine now. I'm fine now.
[The Young Warriors]
Uncle Mute, I get the feeling that there's something fishy about Miss Pan.
It's extremely suspicious.
Even if an ordinary person has nightmares, the reaction wouldn't be so intense.
That Miss Pan was just like a monster just now.
It was really scary.
Right. It's as if she turned into someone else.
Did she turn into someone else or has she been covering up what she's really like?
That malevolent and ferocious person is the real her.
Uncle Mute.
Princess, you don't have that much experience with the pugilist world.
Just now, when we pushed her to the ground,
after managing her emotions, she again showed a gentle attitude.
All of these were just her disguise.
Princess, I think it's best we find out the details about her background.
Lest we're letting a wolf into the house.
Abbess, do you know why the Prime Minister sent Miss Pan to Tranquility Abbey at a young age?
Since young, Pan Ying couldn't make her father happy.
That's why he sent her here.
- It's that simple? - Yes.
Could it be that there's some secret?
That would be their family matter.
Nuns have no need to ask them such questions.
Abbess, you've watched Miss Pan grow up so you understand her the most.
May I ask if her innate nature is really like her outer appearance, pure and delightful?
Pan Ying has been obedient, clever, and has an amiable disposition.
She lost her mother when she was young and wasn't accepted by her father.
Her situation is quite pitiful.
Being able to cultivate under Buddhism without any regrets is really hard to come by.
Thus, you also think that she's naive, innocent and kind, right?
Right. Why are you suddenly asking about this?
Could it be that something has happened since Miss Pan left here?
No. I merely want to understand her better.
By the way, Princess. May I ask—
What's is it, Abbess?
Why didn't you ask Prime Minister directly about this?
Just like what you said, it's not ideal to ask about other family's issues.
Amituofo. That's right.
No need to go to the root of things for everything.
It's also good sometimes to just leave things unsettled.
Abbess.
Princess, I don't know if I was able to help you resolve your questions.
It's okay. Thank you.
Then... I still need to lead my disciples to read scriptures and cultivate.
I won't be able to take care of you now.
My apologies for disturbing you.
I'm leaving now.
No. I merely want to understand her better.
Abbess!
It's all my fault.
If I had noticed earlier that Abbess was being threatened,
she wouldn't have been killed by someone.
Princess. Who do you think the killer is?
Pan Ying.
Think about it. Abbess is a person who has left the secular world.
She has no grudges with anyone.
She just had to be killed after I asked her about Pan Ying.
She really has become so unscrupulous.
By the way, was Pan Ying in the mansion for the past few days?
What were her movements?
She was not.
She said that she was going back to the Prime Minister Manor to visit her father.
It can't be that coincidental.
Who would believe that she's not the killer?
Perhaps so. But—
I will definitely find the evidence.
How could someone change so fast?
And even become so ruthless?
Could it be that it's really hard to fathom a person's mind?
Princess. I think you should discuss this with Yang's Son Six first.
I wonder what Pan Ying will do next.
I know but you should also know that Yang's Son Six and I are now...
I really don't want see him.
I understand this but if it's really like what you said,
that Pan Ying will really be capable of doing anything,
especially when the opposite of love is hatred.
Must I really go?
No matter what, you are good friends after all.
You need to advise him too.
[Stand High, Look Far]
Greetings, Father.
Why are you suddenly so filial?
Father, you really know how to joke.
As a daughter, I should be filial to my father.
Moreover, I have been living in the Cai Manor for so long. Of course, I miss Father already.
I think you missed me too, right?
You indeed were able to guess what I'm thinking.
Since this is the case, why don't you move back here?
Do you really wish that I will move back here?
Or—
Or what? Be frank.
Be frank? Fine.
You probably think that His Majesty has quite a good impression of me.
Hence, you want me to come back here, right?
To prevent His Majesty or outsiders asking and then knowing
that I have been a guest at the Princess manor all this time.
It might taint your reputation, right?
My good daughter, you really are quite clever.
I don't want to embarrass you and make it hard for you too.
Just separating for a few days, I really am seeing you in a new light.
I think my well behaved daughter is not that simple
by saying that you will return that easily, either.
I don't have any special requirements for coming back here.
But since I am staying outside, to come back,
shouldn't Father personally send a carriage to fetch me back?
This is for Father's reputation.
This way, Princess will see that I have reconciled with Father
so that there will be some weight
in me being the Prime Minister's daughter.
Father. Don't you think I am right?
Pan Ying, you are really not that simple.
So to say, you have agreed, right?
Of course.
Since we are so honest with each other,
we should think on behalf of each other.
Fine then. I will go back and make the arrangements.
I will wait for you to come and pick me up.
I'm leaving now.
Father. If I have any problems,
you will definitely protect me, right?
That will depend on whether you are my obedient daughter.
Friends should help one another.
Even more so when we are father and daughter.
With these words from you, can I still fold my arm and just look on?
I'm thanking Father in advance then.
I'll be waiting for Father's carriage to fetch me then.
