Qi Lang...
Dad...
How come?
How would Qi Lang steal the armaments?
Song and Liao's war is about to break out.
But the armaments are stolen.
Dad...
This is serious.
After he regains consciousness,
we can ask him.
Qi Lang...
Dad...
Just tell us your problem.
We'll help you, Qi Lang.
7th younger brother...
What's wrong, 7th younger brother?
He seems like he's lost his mind.
He can't recognize us all.
This event is no trivial thing.
Darling,
we must think of some way to save him.
6th younger brother, bring him to bed.
Alright.
Impossible.
7th younger brother...
wouldn't do such treacherous things.
I also think it's impossible.
7th younger brother is still young and playful.
But he never runs wild.
But look at what he did just now.
He was like crazy.
He couldn't recognize us.
Right.
I was with 5th elder brother in the room.
When we tried to subdue him,
we found he's of extraordinary strength.
I suspect...
he may suffer from black magic.
What?
Suffering from black magic?
Though he looks conscious,
his subconscious is never awake.
You didn't notice that just now...
his eyes...
and sights were so empty.
He didn't exactly look at...
anyone of us.
The reason for his doing this...
treacherous things...
is that he himself...
is not him himself.
He doesn't know what he's doing.
I don't understand.
He's not him himself.
Who is he?
Jiao Zan and Meng Liang said...
when he took away the armaments,
the way he spoke was quite normal.
That means the amazing part of the black magic...
is that it can control his thinking.
Others can't tell from the face.
That sounds right.
Or else he wouldn't...
have tried to kill himself when awaked.
Is it possible that...
there's someone controlling him behind?
Those people are really ruthless.
They used Qi Lang and wanted to kill him.
If there's such black magic,
if those people can control 7th younger brother,
they can also control other people.
If the officials are controlled by others,
it'll be disastrous.
The confidential national and military secrets...
Those people who use black magic will...
get hold of them?
In case the gang of people...
were Liaos...
No way.
This matter must be thoroughly investigated.
Do you know...
who he has hanged around with recently?
Recently, he seems...
to hang around with a girl.
What girl?
I don't know.
But Yang An seems to have met her.
Alright.
I'll go to find Yang An...
and see what he knows.
This clue...
must be on this girl.
This time, it's a real big success.
Right.
The Songs have been trying hard...
to manufacture these mighty armaments.
Who knows...
at last they fall into our hands.
An eye for an eye.
We'll use the Songs weapon to beat the Songs.
Right. That's wonderful.
The Songs will never take back Shuozhou from us.
In the later Shuozhou war,
we'll defeat them miserably for sure.
But...
don't be overjoyed.
From the Songs hands, though we...
have got these armaments,
but...
before the armaments are sent to Desert North,
we can't adopt a casual attitude.
Remember, be extremely careful with everything.
The closer to success, the more careful.
General, don't worry.
The girls have always been careful.
How would they imagine...
the girls in Zui Hong Lou are so terrific.
All Song's officials who visited Zui Hong Luo...
have suffered from our mind confusing magic.
This time Xiao Lin has done a great job.
She made Yang Qi Lang to get the armaments.
Empty-handedly, she gained victory.
The most wonderful thing is...
killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
For one thing, we got the armaments.
For another,
it'll make the Yang's be accused by the king.
Even if it can't get Yang Ye into big trouble,
it'll definitely undermine their prestige.
This is the best part.
But...
Yang Ye is an extremely smart man.
We can't leave any traces
So...
If Yang Qi Lang isn't killed,
we may have future trouble.
General, don't worry.
Xiao Lin has ordered Yang Qi Lang that...
after getting the armaments,
he should commit suicide himself.
I'm sorry.
You treated me so well.
But I take advantage of you.
I also want to kill you.
In fact, I don't want to jeopardize you.
But...
But I've no other choices.
We were born to be enemies.
Qi Lang,
I'm sorry.
We're destined...
to be enemies.
I'm the Liao's assassin,
I can't have friends.
Not to mention have affection for anyone.
Who's it?
Run.
Who are you exactly?
Qi Lang...
7th younger brother...
Stop it, 7th younger brother...
7th younger brother...
Don't...
Qi Lang...
Don't...
Don't, Qi Lang...
Qi Lang...
7th younger brother...
Thank you.
Without you last night,
Qi Lang would have committed suicide.
I have a request.
I hope you could help Qi Lang...
get rid of the black magic applied on him.
I know you're his friend.
Or else, you wouldn't...
have taken the risk to come to Tian Bo House.
I shouldn't have come to Tian Bo House.
As I'm now your prisoner,
you may as well kill me with a sword.
You're Liao.
I know very well that...
we have different backgrounds,
different standpoints.
But I believe...
you're in a great dilemma now...
because Qi Lang is your enemy,
but at the same time he's your friend.
And you have to jeopardize your friend.
How about this?
I'll give you an offer as an exchange.
If you're willing to help Qi Lang,
from now on, all Liao captives,
if they fall into the Yang's forces hands,
I can assure you they will have enough food...
and enough clothes.
For public and private interests, by all means,
you should help Qi Lang.
Alright.
I'll resolve his mind confusing magic.
As for others,
I won't tell anything.
Alright.
With a silver needle like this,
you can control 7th younger brother for so long.
This is the antidote.
Have him take it and he'll get well soon.
Thank you.
Though you have saved my son's life,
I can let you leave.
I never think of leaving here alive.
This is called to pay a person back...
in his own coin.
Stop it.
I promised her to let her go.
Mom...
They used such despicable means...
to jeopardize 7th younger brother to this,
and ruined our family reputation.
Justice and moral are not applicable on them.
You have to bear in mind...
she saved Qi Lang's life.
That's right.
They can use as many crooked means as they want,
but we the Yang's can't.
To find out the armaments,
we have to think of other ways.
Settle down this lady.
Let your 7th younger brother...
take a good rest as well.
Yes, dad.
Hurry up. Move it. Search it carefully.
Hurry up and search.
What's this? Sir...
Sir... What's this?
We're the Yang's forces,
we came to search as ordered by Commander Yang.
We suspect that you...
keep munitions illegally here.
Did I get you wrong?
Our place...
is a place for fun.
How on earth...
would us keep munitions illegally?
Right. But we do have lots of kitchen knives.
Do you count that as munitions?
Shut up.
Get everyone out here for me.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
What are you doing? Go quickly.
General, you definitely have made a mistake.
We're the top-grade law-abiding people.
Shut up and stand there well.
So presumptuous...
to disturb my sleep.
Isn't it the Yang's forces?
They're looking for munitions.
What are you here for?
Go to your Tian Bo House...
and you'll find them, will you?
What nonsense are you talking about?
I'm talking nonsense.
Yang Qi Lang stole them in everyone's face.
Everyone knows that.
If anyone should be arrested,
I'll arrest him first.
You're creating troubles here.
Do you want to make up some false blames...
and get someone to be the scapegoat?
We have concrete evidence.
Superficially, this is a brothel.
But in fact,
this is a den of the Liao's assassins.
General,
don't make fun of me.
How could here be the den of Liao's assassins?
But we do have many men looking for girls.
You're trying hard...
to put the blame on others.
Why don't you quickly think of...
some ways to save your Yang Qi Lang?
Others may be afraid of your Tian Bo House.
But I, Pan Bao, don't.
For Yang Qi Lang's stealing armaments,
I'll definitely report it to His Majesty.
I definitely won't be soft-hearted.
Don't worry.
We definitely will find out the truth...
and regain the pure reputation for Qi Lang.
We'll get to the bottom of the matter soon.
These people are so frightening.
I'm so scared.
Don't panic, I'm here.
What? Found anything?
Found anything? Nothing is found.
Nothing is found.
Search.
Search...
Search... search... search...
You found nothing, right? This place...
is full of cosmetics and great wines.
What armaments?
You're reckless.
Yang Ye not only allows his son to rebel...
but also to barge into residence,
fabricate a charge against ordinary people.
You're really going too far.
Alright. I'll go to see His Majesty,
and report your crimes to His Majesty.
I'll see how you'll explain it to His Majesty.
Retreat!
Go... Go...
Yan Ye,
I've always trusted you.
It's unbelievable that...
this time the Yang's of Tian Bo House...
would happen something like this.
I'm really disappointed in you.
I know I'm guilty.
But...
although I found nothing in today's search,
it doesn't mean...
Zui Hong Luo is clean.
You claim Zui Hong Luo stole the armaments.
But throughout the whole thing,
Commander, you never show us any evidence.
I can't help suspecting...
what Commander you're doing now...
is just for covering up your faults,
taking the blame of stealing the armaments...
away from Yang Qi Lang...
and putting it onto the innocent citizens.
Your Majesty,
Yang Qi Lang was used and has made mistakes.
He can hardly absolve himself from the blame.
I try hard to find out the culprit...
not only to wipe out the charge against Qi Lang,
more importantly,
to find out...
the spy that has sneak into Central Plain,
to restore the stolen armaments.
General Yang,
you've searched the whole Zui Hong Luo,
but couldn't find one single piece of weapon.
I think you're really presumptuous...
to lodge a false charge against civilians.
Your Majesty, please think twice.
To avoid the people of the world thinking...
Tian Bo House has made military contributions...
so they could hide the truth from the masses.
Yang Ye,
I believe that you're loyal to the country.
But about Yang Qi Lang's stealing the armament.
The evidence is irrefutable.
Your Majesty,
Qi Lang was muddled by mind confusing magic,
so he lost his sense.
I think it's possible that...
among the officials in the court,
there're people that knows black magic.
How dare you Yang Wu Lang?
You can't be presumptuous in the golden palace.
Yang Wu Lang, you've gone too far.
Right. That's really too much. Too much.
Listen to me. Give us back our pure reputation.
Your Majesty, return our pure reputation.
Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright.
All officials, calm down please.
The Yang's have always been very prudent.
They definitely wouldn't shoot at random.
Yang Wu Lang,
is what you've just said true?
Your Majesty, as far as I know...
in those who suffer from this black magic,
there will be a silver needle in their bodies.
What? Listen to me.
This black magic is extremely strange.
The victim's...
behaviors will be as usual.
He doesn't know it himself.
Not to mention the others.
Your Majesty,
as far as I know,
among the colleagues in the court,
quite a number of the have been to Zui Hong Luo.
They might be applied black magic...
without knowing it.
This will have great impact.
I dare request Your Majesty to allow a test...
on every colleague...
and see if they've been applied black magic.
Your Majesty, please grant the permission.
How would you test? That's right.
Our flesh and skin are given by our parents.
How could we let you cut us up?
That's right. Right. Ridiculous.
Everyone, don't worry.
The test is very simple.
It won't make your flesh and skin...
have any damages.
Once a magnet is placed behind the neck,
for those who suffer from black magic,
the silver needle will be drawn out.
That's not okay either. How could it be?
As it won't hurt anyone,
I think all officials...
would like to find out the truth as well, right?
We'll do what Your Majesty wants.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Then, let's start with Yang Wu Lang.
Thank you.
That's close.
It's said...
Yang Ye and his son tested the officials.
Luckily, General has predicted it beforehand...
and asked us, in advance,
to draw out the silver needles in them.
Or else,
our identity would have been discovered.
It's good now.
Yang Ye not only can't any flaws in us...
but also has agonized all the officials.
I think...
he not only can't protect his son,
even himself will lose his power gradually.
This time we barely beat Yang Ye.
But at the same time, our identity...
has been discovered.
The Yang's won't let us get away with it.
For the sake of our safety,
I want you to pack up immediately...
and return to Great Liao.
Returning to Great Liao?
What about those armaments?
The Yang's now are watching us closely.
I think we should remain low profile...
and wait for the chance.
Forget about those armaments.
I want you to leave safely.
Abandoning the armaments.
We've put in so much effort...
to get them.
That's right, General.
We can't give up the armaments we've got.
Right.
With the armaments,
we can definitely defeat the Songs.
Right. That's a pity.
We'll lose them for nothing.
Xiao Lin has disappeared for a few days.
She must be caught by Yang Ye.
This place is no longer safe.
So I want you to retreat immediately.
General, please trust me.
Xiao Lin was trained by me.
She wouldn't tell anything about us.
She'd rather die...
than telling anything about us.
General, is there really...
no other ways?
We're the children of Great Liao.
After all these sacrifices,
I absolutely won't let my subordinates...
to take any risks.
Your safety is more vital than the armaments.
Understand?
General...
General is wise, kind and brave.
We haven't followed you for nothing.
Once general is here,
Great Liao has hope in conquering Central Plain
for the good lives of our people...
and the unification of the world.
It's been our target and hope all these years.
Though we meet with setbacks this time,
with the efforts of everyone of us,
one day, the world will belong to Great Liao.
We swear to follow General until death,
dedicate our heart and mind to...
our Great Liao till our heart cease to beat.
Right. We'll follow General till death
General, the pigeon has delivered a letter.
The empress asks us to return to Liao at once.
We're leaving here in groups anyway.
General, why don't you leave first.
I'll pack up everything with the rest,
then we'll set off.
Alright.
This matter should not be delayed,
we'll meet at 10-mile Slope.
You finally woke up. It's alright now.
Mom...
You're fine now as you can recognize mom.
What happened?
Dad...
Qi Lang...
It's all my fault.
Qi Lang...
You've waken up.
I'm glad that you're fine.
Dad...
It's my fault.
I was used by others...
and caused the newly made weapons...
to be taken by the enemies.
It's okay.
I don't blame you.
I was so silly and stupid.
I was too gullible.
By the way,
who's that girl?
She's a subordinate of Yelu Xia.
His subordinate?
I found Zui Hong Luo...
was actually the den of Liaos.
The girls and the manager there...
were all Yelu Xia's subordinates.
So was Xiao Lin.
Xui Hong Luo is a famous brothel in the capital.
Many officials go there to have fun.
Did they...
suffer from Mind Confusing Magic of the Liaos?
I guess so.
I was stalking Pan Bao so...
I went to Zui Hong Luo.
I found...
many officials were drinking there.
This is really serious.
I wonder how many military confidentialities...
have been disclosed.
Now with the abundant armaments...
falling into the Liaos' hands...
I don't understand. For such abundant things,
where could they hide them?
Right.
We've searched every corner of Zui Hong Luo,
and failed to find any clues.
Right.
I remember.
That day when I followed them to the kitchen,
there's a secret chamber behind the kitchen.
A chamber.
Right.
Good.
I'll report it to His Majesty...
and search Zui Hong Luo again.
You two...
go to get everything ready.
I'll go with you later.
Yes, sir.
Dad...
I'm going too.
No need. Qi Lang,
you just woke up.
You should rest quietly to recuperate.
Dad... Listen to your dad.
You just woke up.
Don't run around.
It's the god damned Xiao Lin's fault.
She brought about all these troubles.
I treated her like a friend for nothing.
I hate her, I'll hate her in my entire life.
Actually that girl is quite poor.
She is controlled by others. She can't help.
So she did something she didn't want to.
I believe she feels bad about that too.
That serves her right.
I can tell...
that Ms Xiao Lin...
has a special affection for you.
Or else, she wouldn't acts recklessly...
come back to save you.
Mom, that's impossible.
If she really loved me,
she wouldn't have jeopardized me.
Nothing could possible happen between us.
Mom didn't mean that.
But,
she really did risk her life to save you.
Shouldn't you say thank you to her?
Go to see her quickly.
She's your life savior.
You should say thank you.
Go.
My mom told me to thank you.
Thank you for helping me out.
I saved you,
but harm the compatriots who...
go through fire and water with me.
What have you done to them?
Captured them? Killed them?
What are you talking about?
Didn't you inject a needle in me...
and know everything?
We, the people of Tian Bo House, are aboveboard.
We don't use such despicable means...
to take any secrets from you.
Why do you lock me up then?
Keep me here.
We're afraid you may go to tip them off.
At the suitable time,
I'll ask my dad to release you.
My mom told me to bring you some cakes.
Hurry up and eat them.
Are you hungry?
I jeopardized you.
Would you forgive me?
My mom told me...
you were made to do so.
Right?
You're so lucky.
I'm not the same as you.
I didn't lie to you.
I've been an orphan since young,
wandering around out there.
Once, I almost died on a hill.
Luckily, I was rescued by my master.
My life was saved then.
From that day onwards,
my life doesn't belong to myself.
I'm destined to die for others.
I was trained to be a killer.
Why don't you...
leave them?
No.
Why should I leave?
Where can I go anyway?
We stay together since young.
We're all orphans without parents.
We have the same target, act together.
All these years, they're like my family.
I think I should apologize.
We...
Can we stop talking about these?
Your visit is so valuable.
Can we, just like before,
talk about some happy things?
Alright.
In fact,
I've always wanted to ask you a question.
What's it?
When you used the mind confusing needle...
to control me,
did you use me to do anything?
You think...
I'd use you to do some wicked thing?
I don't think so.
In fact,
I only treated you as a play company,
going fishing and racing together,
telling you my secrets.
I also make fun of you.
Once,
I made you carry me on your back...
running right down to the bottom of the hill.
I remember it. No wonder there're some days...
when my back and waist ached so terribly.
You're laughing. You're wicked.
Actually,
in my entire life,
that period of time was the happiest to me.
Right.
For the puppet you gave me,
I've always kept it around me.
Alright.
Qi Lang,
if I left them,
would you forgive me, accept me?
Xiao Lin...
Would we still be friends then?
Xiao Lin...
I want to thank you so much...
because you've treated me so well.
But I think from now on, we...
can hardly be what we used to be before.
Zui Hong Luo may suffer from a disaster.
So don't be careless.
If anything goes wrong,
Zui Hong Luo may be doomed eternally,
many people may get killed.
General...
General... General...
Huama and Xiao Dei, they...
Say it.
Huama wanted to take out the armament for you...
and send them back to Great Liao,
so...
Huama... they brought along the armaments...
If they were found by the Song's armies,
they would be doomed. That's inviting death.
You take the others...
to return to Great Liao at once.
General... General... General... General...
Go...
Hurry up... General... General...
Why don't you obey the order?
Don't you know this is dangerous?
For the sake of Great Liao,
we've already disregard our own life and death.
These armaments...
definitely can't fall into the hands of Songs.
If we're in war, it's disadvantageous to us.
Commander Yang,
as you said this is the den of Liaos,
Commander and General Yang Wu Lang,
please stay here and wait, just in case.
The rest of you, come with me.
Dad...
You go to guard the back door...
in case the Liao's might escape.
Yes, sir.
I'll wait and see what you, the Yang's kids,
can resort to.
Huama, the Song's armies are outside.
General, it's my fault to make such decision.
You leave immediately. Forget about us.
Don't move. Don't move. Don't move.
Run... Run...
Get her for me.
Retreat quickly.
General, you run quickly.
General, run quickly.
Run quickly.
Come over here. Get up. Run.
Where're the people?
The leader's gone.
Only these people are left behind.
You may take over them.
Take the Liaos' accomplice back.
Yes, sir.
Come on.
Pull the armaments back.
Yes, sir.
Alright.
Well done.
This time, the rebels are crushed,
the armaments are regained.
Thank you to you all, officials.
I'll have to reward you generously.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty,
I dare not expect any award from you.
I hope it could make up the misdeed by...
pardoning Yang Qi Lang for stealing the arms.
General Yang,
the crime your son has committed is...
colluding with the enemy to betray the nation.
That can't be pardoned easily.
Your Majesty,
Qi Lang was affected by the rebels' black magic
so he did this kind of things.
They Yang's are loyal to Your Majesty and Song.
We definitely have no other thoughts in mind.
Please trust me, Your Majesty.
General Yang,
you're imposing pressure on His Majesty?
Your Majesty,
I have something to report.
You're allowed to do so.
If Yang Qi Lang is guilty,
General Pan should be punished as well.
Official Kou, why do you say so?
I remember when...
I led the soldiers searching Zhui Hong Luo...
Mr Pan was trying to stop us.
Protecting the rebels gives rise...
to the suspicion of colluding with the enemies.
Nonsense.
Official Kou,
is there any misunderstanding?
As far as I know,
Pan Bao actually knew long ago that...
there's something fishy about Zui Hong Luo.
He pretended to be a customer to investigate it.
So he tried to stop you...
just in case it might alarm the enemies.
About this event,
Official Pan has explained to me.
Your Majesty is clear-minded.
As about Yang Qi Lang,
I think he should be dealt with discretion.
This time, it's the Yang's forces' wit...
that helped us retrieve the armaments...
and consolidate our national security.
The Yang's forces are of one mind.
I appreciate it very much.
How about this?
This time, I...
will excuse Yang Qi Lang from punishment.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Get up.
General Yang,
though the armaments are retrieved,
the rebels are still on the run.
General Yang, don't get too excited.
With his accomplice being caught,
I'm afraid Yelu Xia won't show up easily.
Your Majesty,
for arresting Yelu Xia,
I have an idea.
Go ahead and tell me.
Once Your Majesty ordered...
to have all rebels executed together,
I think, it would lure Yelu Xia to show himself.
I recognize them.
They're the girls of Zui Hong Luo.
It's said they are the spies send by Liaos.
They're so wicked.
Not only disturbing the frontiers,
but also rebelling in Bianjing.
The execution serves them right.
General Yelu,
we had the luck to follow you...
to serve Great Liao. We'll die with no regret.
Now, we're sacrificing our lives...
and fail to fulfill general's expectation.
General, no need to be sad for us.
We hope general will succeed one day...
and succeed in conquering the Song's capital...
to take revenge for us.
We'll die without any regrets.
Behead...
Are those your subordinates?
I'm the one...
who brought them to this fatal path.
I made them die in a foreign country.
War itself is very cruel.
You shouldn't have infringed Central Plain.
It has come to this stage,
it's useless for you to be sad.
What do you know?
They're my tribe, they're my brothers.
Are you lecturing me or pitying me?
I, Yelu Xia, don't need anyone to lecture me.
Nor do I need anyone to pity me.
I didn't mean that.
Stop acting like that.
You get lost.
I'm not leaving. You get lost.
I don't need you to pity me.
I don't need anyone to pity me.
You get lost.
Get lost.
I'll be back.
I'll definitely be back.
He'll be back.
You may leave now.
You don't need to die for others anymore.
Go and live your own life.
What are you talking about?
What do you mean by dying for other?
Something bad happened to them, right?
Tell me.
Tell me quickly. Tell me.
Zui Hong Luo is closed down.
Xiao Lin...
Go away...
Xiao Lin, don't go.
Don't you stop me.
I'm going to save them.
Xiao Lin, they're not in there.
They've all been caught...
and executed.
What did you say?
Listen to me...
You stole the armaments...
and hid them in Zui Hong Luo.
We've found them all.
That's not true.
That's not true. That's not true.
It's true.
I didn't dare to tell you...
because I worried that you might be worried.
You put the needle into me...
and made me reveal the secret of Zui Hong Luo.
Yang Qi Lang, you lied to me.
You the Yangs got them killed.
We didn't. We didn't...
We the Yangs are open and aboveboard.
You have to trust me.
You want to have it a tooth for a tooth,
an eye for an eye.
I didn't lie to you.
I don't believe it. Take action.
I'm the one who caused the trouble.
I got them killed.
I got the people of Zui Hong Luo killed.
Xiao Lin...
Why are you so silly?
Huama was right.
Xiao Lin shouldn't have been passionate...
or I'd be just digging my own grave.
Didn't you want me to return to...
where I belong to?
I have no place to go.
I'd rather be with them...
than being lonely and helpless.
Listen to me.
You're not alone.
You're not lonely and helpless either.
I... You still have me. I'm your good friend.
Didn't you say...
