The sacrifice to god is a big event to the imperial court.
It can't be carelessly handled.
Prime Minister bears heavy responsibility.
I hope all beloved ministers...
would work together...
and get the tribute to god and ancestors done properly...
so as to express our respect to god and ancestors.
Yes, Your Majesty.
This event of sacrifice to god,
paying tribute to ancestors to thank god for his mercy...
and blessing the whole world...
has been my dream.
I hope our sincerity...
would move god.
Your Majesty would get what you want.
But...
What's wrong, prime minister?
Is there anything wrong?
Your Majesty,
since long ago,
in the ceremony of the sacrifice to god,
the Yang's generals always bodyguard Your Majesty.
Now,
the Yang's forces are busy finding their lost daughter.
They've deployed the guarding forces of Your Majesty...
to search for the criminals over the whole city.
Even they forget the public interest for private interest,
it's still excusable.
But...
for the security of Your Majesty,
I wonder what the arrangement is.
General Yang is desperately worried about his daughter.
I understand your feelings.
How about this?
For protecting me,
let's deploy other imperial forces.
For this matter,
prime minister will take full charge of it.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty's kindness is profound.
General Yang, you're really a lucky guy.
Prime minister, you've exaggerated.
All the generals in the court...
should prioritize the safety of His Majesty.
If minister really thinks it's necessary,
all the generals will definitely cooperate with you.
Yang Ye absolutely won't disagree.
General Yang is really understandings.
Ba Mei, where are you exactly?
Come and take a look. Flour dolls.
Fun dolls. Fun dolls.
5th elder brother,
look, the piggy is so cute. Can I...
That's the play stuff for 3-year-old,
you're already 8 years old. You still want to play with it?
Isn't it cute?
I think you're cuter than it.
Come on. For you.
Thank you, 5th elder brother.
Alright. Alright. Let's go.
Come on. Take a look.
It's fun.
For you.
Thank you.
Flour dolls.
Yelu Xia...
Give me back my Ba Mei.
General Yang,
looking for someone?
You must be looking for your Yang Ba Mei.
What?
Yang Ba Mei...
has been kidnapped by the Liaos, hasn't she?
No matter what...
she wouldn't...
wouldn't appear in this Zui Hong Lou, would she?
Yang Ba Mei is still young.
No way she was sold to this type of place.
Get out. I've got no time to bother with you.
General Yang...
I'm also worried about Ba Mei.
Yang Ba Mei's is in very dangerous situation.
It's like being in the mouth of a tiger.
Or it could be the tiger...
had already eaten her.
Restrain the grief and accept the change. Don't be sad.
Since general strikes first,
don't blame Pan Bao...
for being rude.
Look at your face now.
No wonder the barbarians...
made you look like a defeated dog.
You lost disgracefully.
You've ruined the face of the Song Dynasty.
I tell you what. Your hands are hurt.
I'm not interested in bothering with you.
It won't be a graceful victory anyway.
If you're capable, in the face of Yelu Xia,
save your Yang Ba Mei.
Stop acting crazily in front of me.
Go...
Young master is incredible.
Wu Lang,
are you okay?
I'll take you back to Tian Bo House.
No need.
Where're you going?
Sister...
Didn't you say you'd bring him back to calm down?
Look, he's not good now.
Instead, he shouts like crazy.
Let him vent his emotions.
Go to buy some stuff.
Yang Wu Lang, what's wrong with you?
Your hands are hurt. I'll go to get you some medicine.
Don't go. Talk with me.
Another day.
Another day has gone.
Are you worrying about...
when you will find Ba Mei?
Am I so useless?
It's not your fault.
Yelu Xia is so cunning.
Pan Bao was right.
I couldn't save Ba Mei.
I'm so useless.
I'm so useless. I'm so useless.
We're all exploited by him.
Yang Wu Lang, look at me.
You look at me.
The brave Yang Wu Lang on the battleground,
where has he gone?
Have you ever been in wars?
Do you know...
how it feels to be defeated?
How would you understand my feelings now?
I can't afford being defeated.
Right, I can't afford being defeated.
If it was on the battleground,
and we fought fairly,
I definitely wouldn't lose to Yelus Xia.
What know...
what's so respectable about a brave warrior?
Invincible.
No, never give up.
Being able to get up right at the place you fall.
For this point, Yelu Xia can do it.
If you can't,
you'll never be able to defeat him.
I must defeat him.
I definitely will.
That's more like the vigor of the Yang's forces.
Yang Wu Lang is finally back.
This is for Ba Mei.
You'll find her at last.
This... wasn't it ruined?
How come?
Don't look at me like that.
I'm just a blacksmith.
I don't know this gismo.
I just walked past it,
so I bought a new one.
Right, Ba Mei will come back safe and sound.
Then, I...
will give this to her personally.
After all,
Yelu Xia is really despicable.
I regret I didn't kill him with one sword strike then.
I meant...
Yelu Xia uses a little girl...
to constrain you the Yang's...
instead of fighting face to face.
This is really despicable.
He always wants to constrain our Yang's family.
I always think he must have some other intention.
Right. To see who is better, fight for life and death,
all these should be done on the battleground face to face.
That's what men do.
I think...
he came not just for me.
I keep feeling that he has some other plots...
which are brewing at the moment.
I know it's still not the time.
You won't kill me.
Don't pride yourself too early.
Your young life is still in my hands.
You're hungry. Eat something.
Why don't you eat?
I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat.
It's not that you're not hungry but you're unhappy.
You used some cheap means...
and used me to hurt my family.
You yourself despise your own behaviors as well.
Am I right?
Kid, what do you know?
Don't say I'm too young. I know everything.
After you fooled my 5th elder brother,
you've never smiled, never been happy.
Don't you think you know me so well.
You're just an 8-year-old kid.
I don't understand you.
It's just that dad and my brothers always say...
the real heroes are honorable, frank, and righteous.
You hate yourself for...
being unable to honorably, on the battleground,
defeat the Yang's forces,
unable to be a real hero.
Am I right?
One day,
I'll win a beautify war.
But it's a pity that by then...
you'll have already lost your life to appreciate it.
Dad... mom... where're you?
What takes you so long?
Mom, I miss you so much.
Dad... Mom...
Infinitely merciful and compassionate goddess,
please bless my Ba Mei...
for escaping from this misfortune,
and returning home soon,
returning to Tian Bo House sound and safe,
reuniting with the family.
Goddess,
Yang Ba Mei is only 8 years old now.
Since young, she's been cute and naive,
filial to her parents.
She's never done anything harmful to anyone.
If this misfortune is brought by her past life sins,
please show your mercy...
and bless her to go through it.
Even if it's unavoidable,
please use your mighty power...
to take my life...
and transfer it to my Ba Mei.
As long as Ba Mei can be saved,
I, She Sai Hua, am willing to do anything,
willing to exchange anything with it.
I definitely won't break my promise.
Mom, being worried hurts.
You should take care of your health.
Young master, Mr Gu has come.
Mr Gu, thanks for coming.
Being invited by Mr Pan,
how would I give up...
the chance to good food and wine?
It's easy to get money but not a real confidant.
It's so hard to find a wine-lover.
It's really a happy thing.
I know Mr Pan loves wine,
so I especially brought the specialty of our Liao state,
the horse milk wine.
Horse milk wine.
I've heard this horse milk wine is extremely fine.
I've always wanted to have a taste of it.
I didn't know I finally got the chance today.
Come on, take a seat.
Mr Pan,
In my Liao state, there's a special way of drinking.
That's mix a certain types of wine together and drink them.
At this time,
if you still can distinguish the tastes of the types of wine,
that's the highest stage of wine drinking.
Really?
Mr Pan, do you want to try?
Of course we should try.
Mr Pan, please.
Alright.
Good wine.
Mr Pan, are you okay?
Be careful.
Let me support Mr Pan to sit down. Come on.
I'm fine. I'm fine.
Good wine. It's really a good wine.
What happened? What's so excited?
Dad...
You must be Master Pan.
This is...
My last name is Gu.
A new friend of Mr Pan.
Mr Gu look smart and awesome.
I wonder where you come from,
which clan you belong to.
Dad, Mr Gu comes from Liao.
He's a businessman.
Mr Gu came from Liao.
I came to Center Plain to buy some goods.
Then I'll go back to Liao.
Mr Pan invited me to come sincerely,
it's really my luck.
Don't mention that.
From Mr Gu, I'd like to...
learn something about doing business.
We still got lots of time. But it's getting late now.
I shouldn't disturb you as it's time for rest now.
You're leaving.
Later, when chances arise,
I'll drink and chat with you two.
I won't make you stay then.
Please.
Excuse me.
Please.
How did you meet this man?
I met him at Zui Hong Lou.
Do you know his background?
The sacrifice ceremony to god is approaching soon.
We are responsible for protecting His Majesty.
Nothing can go wrong this time.
From now on, you'd better not go to...
these types of brothels.
Alright.
Besides,
The wine may confuse your senses.
Keep alert before the ceremony of the sacrifice to god.
Don't drink again.
I got it.
Sister, meal is ready.
Sister, what's wrong with you?
Why are you staring at the carriage numbly?
I hate myself for being used by others...
and becoming an accomplice of the kidnap of Ba Mei.
I shouldn't have taken this wrecked carriage.
What're you doing, sister?
You jump aside. It's not Yelu Xia.
Red soil.
What's wrong?
Yelu Xia...
must have driven the carriage on somewhere with red soil.
So what?
Stupid.
Once we found the place with red soil,
we can find the hiding place of Ba Mei.
Right.
Let's go. Go quickly.
Sister...
We've been searching for the whole day,
and climbing over a few hills.
But we still can't find anything.
How long do we have to keep searching?
Until we've found it.
The hills around this area are filled with red soil.
At worst, climb a few more hills.
I don't believe we won't find it.
Climb a few more hills.
I'm tired and hungry.
Besides, it's getting dark.
Why don't we go home and have dinner?
Alright. You go home to prepare for the dinner.
I'll climb over this hill and return if nothing is found.
Good. Alright.
Give me the sword.
Be careful.
Ba Mei...
Sister, how come it's you?
Don't panic. I'm your 5th elder brother's friend.
I came to save you.
Did 5th elder brother send you?
Is my family okay?
Have mom and 5th elder brother's wounds recovered?
Don't worry. They're fine.
Let's get out of here and talk.
You think...
you can take her away from my place?
Sister...
Please let her go.
Please. I don't know her.
She's just being kind to save me. Let her go.
Did you parents tell you?
Kids can't tell lies.
She just said she was a close friend of your 5th elder brother.
Please...
Ba Mei, don't beg him.
Your 5th elder brother will come to beat this guy.
Right, 5th elder brother will come to save us.
What's is Yang Wu Lang?
Why should you admire him so much?
Are you jealous of him?
Why should I jealous of him?
Because you were defeated by him.
On the battlegrounds, have you ever...
defeated him honorably and properly?
No.
In here, I won't bother...
arguing with you.
Beat me if you're capable.
Or...
don't think of leaving.
Go...
Let go of Yang Ba Mei,
or...
don't blame me for being rude to you.
I really want to see...
how rude you are.
Don't push me to fight.
Come on, this is most fatal.
Here.
Try harder, come on.
I... I just want to save her.
I don't want to kill.
If you don't defeat me,
you can't possibly get out of here.
It's the best time now.
Try harder.
Let me go. You nut.
Nut.
You failed.
Now, watch me.
General...
Keep an eye on this little girl.
Yes, sir.
Let go of me. Sister...
Let go of me.
What are you doing? You want to kill me?
Don't torture me like this.
I really wanted to kill you...
so as to vent my grief.
Alright. Just do it.
Do it quickly.
Don't make me suffer.
Open your eyes...
Look at the good views above you.
You... What do you want exactly?
I want you to see the good views above you.
Then imagine,
you're now in Liao.
Why should I listen to you?
Only when you stand in my shoes,
will you understand my feelings.
If you were the people of Liao,
would you still think...
I attack Song on behalf of Liao...
is wrong?
I'm sorry. I can't imagine.
Because I was born in Song,
not in your Liao.
I just want to tell you.
In fact, between you Song's people and me,
no one is right or wrong.
We just have different standpoints...
serving for our own masters.
What kind of reasoning is it?
Can't Song and Liao coexist in peace?
Originally, the whole world was one big family.
Do you have to attack us Song with your soldiers?
You'll get what you want soon.
The whole world is of the same family.
What are you talking about?
Do you know...
why I kidnapped Yang Ba Mei?
Don't you want to make use of Yang Ba Mei...
to jeopardize the Yang's family.
What it has to do with making the world into one family?
Once Yang Ba Mei is in my hands,
I can distract the attention of the Yang's forces.
So I can...
assassinate Song Tai Zong in the sacrifice to god.
Then the Song Dynasty will be exterminated.
Very soon, the world will become one big family.
Prime minister... General... Bad news.
What happened?
Report to both officials,
after investigation,
it's been proved that the so-called...
Liao businessman Mr Gu...
is the warrior of Liao Yelu Xia.
What?
He deliberately approached General,
he may have some evil plots.
He's Yelu Xia.
You may leave.
Yes, sir.
Why did he make friends with me?
What did he want exactly?
Dad, I and he are just...
fair weather friends.
We're no close friends.
There shouldn't be any problems.
You brought a non-close friend home?
In what ways can I be used by him?
Bao,
is your tiger token still around?
Yes... Dad...
Be careful. I'll take Mr Pan to sit down.
What he wanted was really the tiger token.
What? Is it possible that...
on the day of the ceremony of the sacrifice to god, he...
has some plans?
It's okay if we didn't know it. But since we know it,
the situation will be different.
Haven't you heard of killing by another's hand.
We'll wait to watch a good drama.
By this way, will Ba Mei understand what we mean?
I've drawn some Chinese herbs on it.
Ba Mei has got Asthma since young.
Mom and I used to...
take her to the mountain to pick the medicines.
So she can recognize the medicines appearances.
If she can see it,
she should be able to understand what I mean.
She'll make those people go to Hui Min Pharmacy.
The we'll go to Hui Min Pharmacy...
and follow the suspects.
How could you think of this plan?
Last time,
the flying of the Kong Ming Lantern inspired me.
Then... assassinate His Majesty.
How could that become this?
No way... No way...
How could they do this?
Taking me as the bait to distract my dad and brothers...
so as to kill His Majesty.
No way. Sister...
We must stop them from doing this.
How could we stop them?
We've become the meat of the others.
They could even kill us if they want to.
We can't protect our own lives.
Not to mention stopping them from doing that.
Then we must...
tell dad and my brothers as soon as possible.
If we could tell them,
we'd tell them we're here...
and ask them to come to save us quickly.
You... stop thinking.
If you could keep your young life alive...
that's already very marvelous.
What should we do?
If mom was here,
she'd definitely tell me what to do.
Sister Guan Hong is here.
I can teach you.
Stop thinking.
What do you laugh about?
Sister, look. That's a kite.
So what?
It's 6th elder brother. 6th elder brother flies it.
Hindu Datura.
Licorice Root.
Honeysuckle flower.
Lily
Loquat fruit.
What are you talking about?
I got it.
Sister, you have to help me.
How could I help you.
Help me get sick.
Sick...
Somebody come.
Somebody come quickly.
What happened?
Yang Ba Mei is seriously sick.
She needs to see a doctor immediately.
Or else, I'm afraid something bad will happen to her.
What happened?
How do I know.
She said it's an old sickness.
Old sickness. Right.
Drink some water will do.
How could it be?
Why not?
Want to see a doctor. Forget it.
Even she can't see a doctor,
get someone to buy her some medicines.
What medicines?
Ba Me said...
there's a asthma prescription at Hui Min Pharmacy...
which is very famous.
Every time she gets sick,
her mom goes to buy some for her.
She'll be fine after eating it.
Well...
I think...
Your Yelu Xia...
wouldn't want to see her die.
She's still of value to you.
If you're not going,
get Yelu Xia here for me.
I'll talk to him.
I'm going to buy the medicine. You stay here.
Yes, sir.
Sister... You're so smart.
It's just that they're stupid.
Now...
I hope your 6th elder brother will come to save us soon.
Boss... Is there asthma medicine here?
Brother, you're really smart.
Our asthma medicine...
is famous and popular.
Many people come especially for it.
No bullshit.
Get me one.
Alright. Alright. Alright.
Goodbye and thank you.
Go.
Be careful.
It seems we're discovered.
No matter what.
Ba Mei must be around. Search quickly.
It's amazing that...
you used the kites to communicate with each other.
Not bad.
What are you talking about exactly?
We don't know what you're talking about.
Ms Guan,
Now you're a prisoner here.
You still pretend to be fierce.
With your tinny trick,
you think you can fool me?
Some people think they're clever,
but they don't know they cleverness will jeopardize them.
What do you want?
My 6th elder brother is much cleverer than you.
He definitely won't lose to you.
He'll definitely find this place.
I also hope he could find here.
General, we shouldn't stay here any longer.
Of course. If I hadn't stopped you,
they'd have followed you to find this place.
Please punish me, General.
Forget it.
But you must remember this lesson.
Don't belittle your enemies.
Thanks for the teaching, General.
Take them away from here immediately.
We're late.
Yelu Xia is no simple person.
What should we do now?
Maybe Ba Mei has left some clues.
Search.
Look.
5... this way is 5. Look.
Strange.
Go...
Go quickly.
I once said...
I'd revenge for the 3 defeats on you Yang's family...
so I doom Yang Ba Mei to death.
Now...
the young general of your family seeks his own destruction.
Don't blame me for that.
Go quickly.
Be careful.
Go quickly.
9... 5...
What do you think the 9 and 5 mean?
9... 5...
I got it. The royal prerogative.
You mean His Majesty?
Yelu Xia captures Ba Mei for distracting others.
In fact, he wants to make a diversion.
His Majesty is now in Tai Temple.
Isn't he about to...
take advantage of the chaos to assassinate...
His Majesty.
Dad, everything has been arranged comprehensively.
I can assure you that if Yelu Xia dares to come,
he won't be able to escape even he got wings.
Great.
Then, we'll wait to watch a good drama.
I, Yelu Xia, always do what I promise.
I've promised to give you 3 chances...
to save Yang Ba Mei.
Now in Xi Shan, I've already...
set a flame sea for Yang Ba Mei.
If you don't want Yang Ba Mei to die,
grasp this chance to save your daughter.
Mom...
Yelu Xia wants to burn Ba Mei to death.
No way, we must go to save Ba Mei at once.
Mom, let's go to save Ba Mei.
You wait here for your dad's return.
Then come to join us.
You must be extremely careful...
in case of fishy plots.
Yes.
Ba Mei... Ba Mei...
Eldest brother... Look.
That's Ba Mei.
Let's go to save her quickly.
Wait a minute. Beware of the deception of the enemies.
Let's go up the hill first.
Go.
Be careful... Be careful...
Be careful...
Brothers...
Ba Mei...
That's not Ba Mei.
Is this performance wonderful?
Where's Ba Mei?
Yang Ba Mei will be burned to death,
but not in here.
But on the altar of your emperor's sacrifice to god,
burning to death right in the face of everyone.
What are you talking about?
Our general has already had Yang Ba Mei...
fixed on the altar...
to be the sacrifice of your emperor.
If you go hurriedly now,
Maybe you can still make it...
to see this live sacrifice performance.
You're such a scumbag.
Would it be a trap?
No matter what,
let's rush to the ceremony of the sacrifice to god.
Go...
Prime Minister,
everything about the sacrifice has been arranged properly.
It's almost time.
The ceremony can be ready.
Please inform His Majesty and ask him to come.
His Majesty should come out after his meditation.
Light the fire basin.
Yes, sir.
Dad...
Do you think...
Yelu Xia would have...
any evil plots?
Is it possible that...
something...
out of our expectation would happen?
So what if it would?
Are you afraid that His Majesty would be killed?
Have you forgotten...
we still have another move?
Hurry... hurry up...
That's bad. The sacrifice ceremony has begun.
We must think of some ways to enter into in.
We've lost the tiger token.
What if His Majesty blames us for that?
No matter what, saving lives is of utmost importance.
Go...
Protect His Majesty.
Yes, sir.
The Yang's forces, how dare you.
How dare you to barge into Tai Temple.
How should you be punished?
General Pan,
our Ba Mei has been kidnapped by Yelu Xia.
We suspect she's been hidden in Tai Temple.
She's in great danger now.
We're desperate to save her.
General, please excuse us and let us in...
to save her first.
Nonsense.
The ceremony of the sacrifice to god...
is forbidding and sacred.
How could your Ba Mei be here?
Don't you make a scene here.
Don't ever think of barging into the altar.
Get lost.
Or else, don't blame me for being rude.
No more bullshit.
We'll barge in by force.
Barge, will you? Or else you can't make it.
How dare you. Get them all.
Yes, sir. Go...
Why you people fighting among one another?
It seems Yelu Xia's plan...
has partially succeeded.
He deliberately makes the Yang's forces create troubles.
We must inform His Majesty immediately.
Go...
The door is locked.
Follow me. I'll take you to leave at the back door.
Alright.
We have to see His Majesty.
His Majesty has ordered...
no one is allowed to go in.
General, I'm the 6th son of the Yang's.
This is Princess Chai.
Now the situation is very disastrous.
We must inform His Majesty.
The imperial order is here.
No one is allowed to go in without a tiger token.
If you seek your own destruction,
don't blame me for being rude.
If you seek your own destruction,
don't blame me for being rude.
Now...
You, the son of the Yang's, seek your own destruction,
don't blame me for that.
Yelu Xia...
Take good care of them.
Your Majesty, everything is ready.
Dad... Dad...
Help me.
Dad... help me... Dad...
Eldest brother, it's on fire.
Go...
Stop fighting. It's on fire.
Save Ba Mei quickly.
Dad... help me quickly. Help me quickly.
Dad...
