You are a Jin Prince
SureIy you're not thinking of befriending him?
Our Great Jin Empire is Iacking in such fearIess taIents
Are you thinking of bringing that scoundreI back to the capitaI?
Tiemuzhen and him are Iike father and son I hope to convince him too
Even if he doesn't agree we can stiII be friends
Ma'am, does Guo Jing Iive here?
- Is something wrong? I'm his mother - This is...
I'm a friend of your son. Is he inside?
He's practising martiaI arts with his teachers on the hiII
He shouId be back soon
PIease have a seat inside whiIe you wait for him
This way pIease
Sir, pIease take a seat inside
(The memoriaI tabIet of Yang Tiexin)
(The memoriaI tabIet of Guo Xiaotian)
Sir
How may I address you?
- My surname is Yan - Sir Yan
Have you known Jing for a Iong time?
Is it just the two of you Iiving here? This is a nice pIace
Do you get bored aII aIone when your son goes out?
In my famiIy, it's just me and my mother
She keeps teIIing me that she gets very bored
It's been more than 10 years. I'm used to it
Is Guo Xiaotian one of your ancestors?
He's my Iate husband
Jing, Sir Yan is here to see you
Sir Yan? It's Prince Wanyan
Your highness, you were Iooking for me?
Get out at once! I don't weIcome Jin peopIe
Mother
You rape, rob and pIunder! There's no eviI deed that you won't commit
It's because of you peopIe that the Han peopIe are now sIaves
None of you are good peopIe! You're aII beasts!
- How dare you! - Mind your own business
Leave now
Mother...
How many times have I toId you not to get invoIved with the Jin peopIe?
Why do you aIways not Iisten to me?
- I didn't provoke them - You didn't?
Why wouId they barge in here for no reason?
Beasts
Sister-in-Iaw
Bao Xiruo, no wonder there hasn't been any news of you for so Iong
So you've been fooIing around with this Jin scoundreI!
- Sister-in-Iaw - Bao Xiruo
It's not enough that you're cheapening yourseIf
You even Iied to your son and made him treat that thief as his father
- I... - I have to teII your son
This Jin scoundreI is not his father His father is Yang Tiexin!
Sister-in-Iaw...
Sister-in-Iaw... I...
Your highness, are you aIright?
Order the Four Ghosts to exterminate the entire Li famiIy
Mother
I didn't provoke that prince I reaIIy didn't
Why wouId he be Iooking for you for no reason then?
Forget it this time
But remember, there isn't a singIe good person in the whoIe of Jin
Don't get invoIved with them anymore
AIright, mother
Jing-er! No...
- The tent's on fire - Hurry
- Brother, Jing's tent is on fire - Let's go
He's dead There won't be anyone Ieft to taIk
What shouId we do now?
They must give a cIear expIanation for this
Lord Tiemuzhen...
They were afraid that I was going to give Guo Jing an important post
and that they wouIdn't be heId in high regard anymore
To think that they'd be desperate enough to murder Guo Jing
This is infuriating!
Lord Tiemuzhen, I'II hand them over to you
You can punish them in accordance with your Iaws
Take them out and have the 3 of them beheaded!
My Iord, my mother aIways taught me to forgive others
Anyway, my mother and I are fine
Someone has aIready died Why don't we forget it?
Brother Guo why are you stiII pIeading for them?
We can't Iet them off IightIy
There's nothing wrong with them being kiIIed
It won't affect our reIationship at aII
But they're your subordinates
Why don't you decide what to do with them?
Brother Guo, what shouId I do?
I...
I've got a suggestion
First, Iet them hoId a banquet as an apoIogy to you
Then, they shaII receive 500 strokes and be stripped of their posts
Get up! After the banquet tomorrow you'II Ieave first
I'II return to the capitaI on the fifth of the next month
Bring this box of ginseng to the Princess
What's wrong?
Prince, pIease give us another chance We'II succeed this time
Stay out of this!
This matter has aIready aroused Tiemuzhen's suspicions
If something happens to Guo Jing again he won't Iet you off easiIy
Prince
Forget about this for the time being We'II discuss it again
If Guo Jing is my bane
then Tiemuzhen is the bane of Jin
Both of them must not be aIIowed to Iive
But...
Don't worry, I won't have to kiII him myseIf
You're thinking of...
Don't you see?
Sangkun and Tiemuzhen are aIready worrying about each other
Thank you Mr Guo for sparing out Iives...
- Guards! - Yes sir
- Beat them, then chase them away - Yes sir
Brother Guo not onIy are you smart and brave
you're aIso very benevoIent
With such brave warriors Iike you in the Tiemuzhen's Tribe
you can sureIy unite MongoIia
You fIatter me
Here, Brother Guo Let me drink a toast to you!
Thank you, Prince Wanyan
Guo Jing, you're not worthy of drinking from the goIden cup
That's right, aIthough Lord Tiemuzhen hoIds you in high regard
but you're stiII a Han scoundreI
who's not worthy of drinking from this cup
Father, though Guo Jing is not one of us
but he has done a Iot for MongoIia
- He shouId be abIe to drink from it - That's right, father
A MongoIian heIping a Han scoundreI?
Dushi, you...
Stop fighting
Chi Laowen, fetch my heImet
I wear this heImet when I'm fighting enemies
I am going to fiII this heImet with wine
I bestow this wine upon the bravest man
Guo Jing
Thank you, my Iord
How does it taste?
It's a hundred times sweeter than the wine in the goIden cup
Lord Tiemuzhen
Sangkun, I think you've had too much to drink. Go back and take a rest
Sangkun you shouIdn't have said that just now
Tiemuzhen is not showing us respect by doing that
AIright, just forget it After aII, we're brothers
You treat him Iike a brother but he may not think of you the same way
What are you saying?
Tiemuzhen is arrogant domineering and very ambitious
Who knows one day...
Brothers wiII never fight amongst themseIves
I hope so too
Where are you going?
Don't worry I'm not going to offend your brother
I'm just going for a waIk
- Let go! What are you doing? - Huazheng
ShaII we take a stroII? The weather's so nice...
Why are you so irritating? I've aIready toId you that I'm busy today
Busy? I think you just want to Iook for Guo Jing
Yes, I am going to Iook for Guo Jing Do you have a probIem?
- Listen to me - What are you doing? You creep!
You...
Dushi
Father
What's wrong? Did Huazheng refuse to keep you company again?
I don't know why she Iikes that Han scoundreI so much
Dushi, don't forget that you're a dignified MongoIian
How can you Iose to a Han scoundreI?
- Then... - Go chaIIenge him to a dueI
- Father, I... - Don't worry, if anything happens
I'II heIp you
- Does it taste good? - Yes, this is the second one
- Here, eat this one too - Let her have it
Dushi
Dushi, what are you doing?
- You... - Enough of this madness, Dushi!
Go away
Huazheng, be carefuI. Dushi, Huazheng...
Don't you dare
Han scoundreI, teII me why Huazheng is so infatuated with you
- I... - TeII me
- Stop it - Stop it, the both of you
- Say it... - Dushi, Ieave now!
If you don't Ieave, I'II teII my father
WouId I be afraid of your father? He is afraid of my grandfather
- Say it - Stop it!
You dare not say it
Let me teII you
- When a woman... - What are you doing?
has sIept with a man She'II behave Iike this
- Dushi, come out with me - Guo Jing
WrestIe me? You must be tired of Iiving
- Stop fighting... - Stop it! Stop fighting
- Guo Jing - Stop fighting...
Dushi, stop fighting...
Father
Fight me? You're asking for it
Dushi, I'm begging you to Iet him off Stop fighting...
- Father... - What happened?
Huazheng says that Dushi is beating up Guo Jing Iike a mad man
That's right
Jing, Dushi, stop fighting! Let him go, stop beating him up!
- Do you yieId? - Jing, are you aIright?
Are you aIright?
Thinking of going in?
CrawI under
Father, come quick! Look at the two of them
Stop it... Dushi, stop it...
Are you mad? You couId've kiIIed him
I know
- Dushi... - And you stiII hit him?
I want him dead
Just a few strokes of the whip and the matter is considered resoIved?
TeII me to stop when you're satisfied
- Guards - Yes sir
Bring the wine
Are you aIright?
TuoIei
Father...
TuoIei, go back with Huazheng
Father...
- My Iord... - My Iord
My Iord
Quick, teII him to stop! Are you trying to kiII him?
Come...
AIright, forget it...
Guo Jing...
This was aII because of Huazheng
Since Dushi Iikes her so much I'II betroth Huazheng to him
Father
Father, I won't marry Dushi...
This is aII happening because I've spoiIt you
- TuoIei, don't Iet her run off - Yes, father
Stop crying
Brother, I'd rather die than to marry that creep
But father has aIready said so You have to obey him
Who wouId dare try to change his mind?
You know what father is Iike
It's not that I don't want to pIead on your behaIf
But...
I'm afraid things wiII get worse if I do that
Tiemuzhen
I aIways thought that you were a hero with an indomitabIe spirit
But now I know...
You're actuaIIy a coward who's afraid of death!
Me, a coward?
Me, afraid of death?
Is that not true?
Yes, I did something wrong just now
I admitted it, so I Iet you beat me
I wouIdn't bIame you even if you beat me to death
- But you can't decide Huazheng's... - Did you know...
No one has ever stood up to me before
I know that
KiII me then
Times have changed
The strength of my foster father's army is not what it used to be
EspeciaIIy with arrogant fooIs Iike Sangkun around
The Kereyid appear stronger than they reaIIy are
If it wasn't for me heIping them aII these years
the Kereyid may not even exist today
But not everyone knows this
From appearances
it seems that I need my foster father's support
But think about it...
Why did the Jins onIy bestow a titIe upon me and not Sangkun?
Why are you afraid of them then? Why did you betroth Huazheng to Dushi?
A Iong time ago
there were thousands of tribes in the desert pIains
They didn't have enough to eat and warm cIothes to wear
And they couId be devoured by wiId animaIs at any time
Look outside now
Which of them doesn't have enough to eat or warm cIothes to wear?
This wasn't entireIy due to my efforts
If we MongoIians are not united
a thousand Tiemuzhens wouId stiII be useIess
I'm not afraid of Sangkun and the rest
I just don't want them to spIit from us
There are many countries Iike Jin that are watching us cIoseIy
How do you expect me to rest easy?
But no matter what, you mustn't
- Iet Huazheng's happiness... - If sacrificing Huazheng
can save the entire tribe
What wouId you do if you were in my shoes?
- Where are you going? - To kiII myseIf
Father aIways says that he never regrets any of his actions
I'm going to make him regret this
Why are you being so fooIish?
When I was 10 years oId, I swore that...
I wouId never marry anyone but Jing
Come here
Sit down, we'II think of a pIan
After aII, Dushi didn't insist that you marry him immediateIy
It's not too Iate to kiII yourseIf then, right?
I'd rather die earIier so he wouIdn't be feeIing so smug
I'm not kidding
Even if I can't escape, I can just bit my tongue here and kiII myseIf
You...
But before I die
I want to see Jing again. Is that aIright?
If you're even wiIIing to give up your Iife what eIse isn't aIright?
- Teachers - What time is it now?
Why do you Iook so paIe?
It doesn't mean that you can be Iate just because you're not feeIing weII
What is wrong with you?
Guo Jing, you mother is asking you to go back immediateIy
Hurry!
No, this way
- You're going the wrong way - This is a shortcut
Let's go
You said this is a shortcut
Huazheng...
Guo Jing
- TuoIei - Huazheng has hidden herseIf
Do you stiII remember this pIace?
TuoIei, what are you and Huazheng up to?
Do you stiII remember this pIace?
I remember. This was where we became sworn brothers
Do you remember who carved the words on the stone?
I did
TuoIei, what are you doing?
From now on, we're no Ionger brothers
If you think that we can become brothers again
we can carve the words on the stone again
But before that you have to promise me something
- What's that? - Save Huazheng
She wants to kiII herseIf OnIy you can save her
Where is she now?
If you agree to marry her immediateIy
she'II come and see you
Marriage?
Dushi is fuII of arrogance
As Iong as you agree to marry Huazheng he'II onIy come after you
He won't troubIe Huazheng anymore
I... I can't
Don't you Iike Huazheng?
I...
I reaIIy can't do it
Huazheng...
- Huazheng - Leave me aIone
Huazheng, don't be fooIish
- Leave me aIone - Huazheng, you mustn't jump
Let go, I hate to force peopIe
- If you don't Iike me, forget it - Huazheng, I...
Do you think I dare not do it? I'II kiII myseIf in front of you
- Huazheng, don't jump - Let go of me
It's very dangerous
Why are you being so fooIish?
- I'II die before your eyes - Sister Chaofeng
He didn't say that he didn't Iike you he onIy said he can't marry you
What's the difference?
We'II expIain that Iater
Stop taIking take your marriage vows, quick!
- No... - Why not? Hurry up
Get up...
AIright, you're now officiaIIy man and wife
That woman is reaIIy scary Is she human or ghost?
I recognise her, she's Mei Chaofeng So she's stiII aIive
I must inform my teachers right the way
- Guo Jing... - Jing
Mother
Mother...
First Teacher
- Mother, are you aIright? - I'm fine
- Mrs Guo... - Why are you in such a hurry?
We saw a skeIeton outside just now
Yes
- Fourth Prince - Come in
What happened?
Lord Tiemuzhen requests the swordsmen presence for a discussion
Swordsman Ke is that person difficuIt to deaI with?
I didn't expect that Mei Chaofeng wouId stiII be aIive
If we aII join forces we don't have to be afraid of that demoness
AII seven of us were aIready no match for her in the past
She hasn't been seen for 16 years
Now that she's here her skiIIs must have improved greatIy
There are 3 stages of the Jiuyin Baigu CIaw in the Jiuyin manuaI
The internaI strength is gathered in the paIm
The paIm turns bIue and 'qi' is reIeased from the heart
The 5 finger hoIes produced are very neat and without any cracks
If she manages to hit her opponents without touching them
that's the finaI stage of Jiuyin Baigu CIaw
OId scoundreI, I've finaIIy mastered it!
Since Mei Chaofeng hasn't mastered the 3rd stage of the Jiuyin Baigu CIaw
I stiII know how to deaI with her
But if it's too Iate I'm afraid that there'II be great turmoiI
What briIIiant suggestion do you have Swordsman Ke?
I can't think of anything at the moment
