[Legend of Fuyao]
~ Episode 47 ~
3,000 against 300,000 is indeed a recipe for failure.
You must borrow some soldiers.
But in this vast Five Regions, from whom will he borrow them?
Aren't you the crown prince?
Can't Megrez help in this matter?
Although the Megrez Imperial City controls the Five Regions,
it doesn't have the right to meddle with the internal affairs of each nations.
It's easy for me to borrow him an army.
But without the military seal of Heaven Fiend, they'll just get stopped outside the pass.
Where within Heaven Fiend can there be an army to borrow then?
Prince Zhan, are we thinking the same thing?
Looks like, I should visit Geya once more.
You mustn't!
This...
The Dark Storm Cavalry I saw in the Ice Land last time wasn't coincidental.
Those 3,000 were just the lead.
I must bring back all the Dark Storm Cavalry hiding underground.
What's the story behind the Dark Storm Cavalry hiding underground?
During the Great Firmament Battle, the Dark Storm Cavalry is one of the elite force that faced the enemy first.
But a portion of them got bewitched with abundant gold as bribes.
They betrayed Five Regions at the last minute and almost tilted the war situation.
After the war, this portion of Dark Storm Cavalry traitors disappeared in Geya.
Afterwards, the Dark Storm Cavalry of Heaven Fiend was given an additional duty of keeping watch.
Because Grand Master Zhou was framed,
the whole Dark Storm Cavalry almost got annihilated 15 years ago.
The remaining 3,000 people protected Geya for generations,
but they totally don't have the power to resist.
What item then are they keeping watch?
They betrayed Five Regions, betrayed their own lineage.
But they didn't know that the price for betraying will be...
Being prohibited by Firmament magical power and never being allowed to leave.
They got trapped inside Geya for generations like prisoners.
Calculating it, they were being tormented for thousands of years already.
Geya Desert is a strange place to begin with.
Adding the imprisoned Dark Storm Cavalry frequently appearing and vanishing within it,
legendary rumors in the Five Regions then gave them the name of 'Secret Army'.
But since you took away these Dark Storm Cavalry that was camped in there,
doesn't that mean that no one is keeping watch of them already?
The Blue Dragon Wildness Sword is indeed the critical item that can control and command the Secret Army.
Now that this sword has resurfaced, they surely won't dare to make rash moves.
But...they also won't stay silent for too long.
You're going to meet the Secret Army?
You can't go! You mustn't!
The Secret Army is just a story to fool children. No one has seen them.
Also...Geya Desert eats people.
You can't just risk your life like that!
What Princess said is right. The great battle happeend thousands of years ago.
We aren't really sure if that Secret Army is true or not.
Even if there is, what have they turned out to be now?
- Recklessly going there is too dangerous, General. - It will be fine.
Geya Desert... Heaven Fiend Secret Army...
I actually can confirm that they do exist.
Yes, I saw them.
Rumors that I almost lost my life in Geya Desert is true.
Saying that I developed the strange petrifying disease wherein my body became rigid like iron is true too.
Good thing, I always bring the cosmic silk bag that Teacher gave me,
hence, I was able to contact Firmament during emergencies.
Yuanbao was also able to transport through it and get me the berry.
That time, Yuanbao left for a long time and I was in the state of almost dying.
At that moment, I saw the Secret Army.
Good thing, Yuanbao returned just in time, that's why, I survived.
Actually, after the great battle in Handsome City,
Zhan Beiye and I also went to Geya Desert in our dream.
I also saw them.
I then must go.
Even if those things do exist,
you also said that they are being restricted by a magical power.
If you go, can you guarantee that you'll be able to subdue them?
I...
You two...
You two aren't certain,
am I right?
The person who has the right to make this decision is only you.
I might not be able to subdue them.
I might also be unable to return alive.
But this is the only way.
Enough...
Didn't I already say that I'm resolute in walking down my path and taking back my possessions?
Then, no matter how huge the difficulty is, I must continue walking forward.
Okay.
I have the Zhan clan blood within me.
I then have my destined duty.
Even if there is just a minute chance, I still must not disappoint those brothers that have died for me,
those people who are living well for me.
- Am I right? - Right!
Since you've made your decision, I will draw a guide to the Secret Army based on my memory.
Let's not waste time. Make preparations as soon as possible.
Okay.
Since that place is very dangerous, we'll accompany you.
Don't rush. We still have other things to do.
Add 3 more levels of defense based on what I said earlier.
Make the time of locking the palace gates earlier to you hour (5 pm to 7 pm).
After sunset, anyone entering and exiting the palace gates must be reported to the inner palace.
I understand.
Just to eliminate the old subordinates of Prince Fierce,
we've arrested a lot of high ministers of the imperial court.
This includes generals who hold important military power, hence, a lot of military posts are now empty.
Shouldn't we stop already?
Of course, we can't.
I will never give Zhan Beiye any chance.
But now that Gu Lingfeng is dead,
who then must lead the Gold of Heaven Fiend inside the palace?
Could it be Younger Brother Heng has such thoughts?
I have shallow abilities and unable to bear such a huge responsibility.
The Gold of Heaven Fiend is the most important guards of the palace. They must be reforged.
I must re-select a commander that will truly follow my order.
You're telling me to approach Zhan Nancheng?
Zhan Nancheng is a very cunning man.
Even if we are able to obtain several more thousands of army, we might still not be able to defeat.
We must put in a person that can win his trust to work in collusion with us from the inside for our plan to perfectly work.
But sneaking into the palace isn't an easy task.
What should I do?
Gu Lingfeng has just died.
The commander position of the Gold of Heaven Fiend is now empty.
Based on customary rule, they will be selecting one soon.
That time is your best chance.
What you mean is I will disguise as a man,
risk the danger of getting hurt to join some selection,
and then take over the Gold of Heaven Fiend?
Correct.
If I indeed got selected,
must I fawn on that old man Zhan Nancheng too?
You're just going to watch that on the side?
Are you going or not?
Going.
Let me tell you that Zhan Nancheng is a very petty person and he likes stealing the treasures of others.
How could he then spare the things that I like?
By then, we just have to play some little tricks and we surely will succeed.
It's starting...
This is the venue for the official registration for the
competition to select the next Generalissimo Black Tortoise, the commander of the Gold of Heaven Fiend.
Today is the auspicious day to register.
May you heroes register now to join the competition.
We don't have any pen and ink here and we won't examine you.
Just use whatever method
to write your name on those ice blocks.
- That will then serve as a proof of a Black Tortoise Contract. Whether you live, die, win, or lose, - How could anyone write their name on that? - Let's go give it a try.
you can't break the contract anymore.
I'll go first!
- Someone has gone up. - That's right.
If you really are able to win this competition and get conferred as Generalissimo Black Tortoise,
you then will be commanding the Gold of Heaven Fiend.
That's an honor that will last throughout your generations.
Of course. Generalissimo Black Tortoise is the highest form of honor here in Heaven Fiend .
If you're able to obtain it, your descendants need not worry about their source of living already.
Even if you have to risk your life to exchange for it, it's worth it.
[Zhao]
I'll go up and give it a try too.
Royal Brother I've already personally delivered the invitation to Crown Prince, inviting him to the enter the palace
and be the judge for the selection of the Generalissimo Black Tortoise.
Prepare some rare items too and deliver them to him.
Before, just because of that Zhangsun Pingrong, we've offended him.
We must exert some effort to curry his favor.
Then, regarding Prince Assist...
What about it?
We made a pact with him.
So what?
There's no such thing as an eternal ally.
Didn't he come here just because of the Earth Absorbing Bell?
Whoever is beneficial to me, then he's my ally.
If Zhangsun Pingrong doesn't understand that,
he shouldn't make false hopes of getting this crown prince position anymore.
Before...
...it was my mistake to put my bet on Zhangsun Pingrong.
Now, I must pay a higher price
to make up for this mistake.
And if we want to defeat Crown Prince Wuji,
we then must first get near him.
Will he be able to carve his name?
Good! Good! [Jiang Feng]
Never thought that even if this guy looked gentle and weak,
he actually has such deep internal energy.
Jiang Feng!
Why did you leave without saying a thing?
Why are you hiding from me like this?
Crown Prince is a very busy man.
How could I dare disturb you?
If I have wronged you,
you can directly tell me. Why must you use this method to spite me?
If you join the selection for the commander of Gold of Heaven Fiend, you will be facing danger.
I indeed want to risk danger.
Even if I lose my life because of this,
it's way better than being called as someone serving by Crown Prince's side.
I've been learning martial arts since I was little.
I have always had the dream to become a great commander.
If you're unable to give me that chance,
don't hinder me then.
If there's no other matter,
I'll take my leave.
What is the relation of Jiang Feng and Crown Prince?
Jiang Feng!
No matter what their relationship is, looks like he has connections.
This competition won't be a simple one.
General, it's already late. We should set out.
Come out! Stop hiding!
I just knew that you'll follow me.
Fine. I'll take you with me. Being a woman, leaving you alone is too dangerous.
You're willing to let me follow you?
I also never disliked that you did.
It's just that this journey is too dangerous. I don't want to drag others into this.
It's not dragging.
Fifth Older Brother, be at ease. I surely will not make you worry.
Let's go.
Older Fifth Brother...
From now on, I'll celebrate your birthday for you.
Everyone in the Five Regions know about Royal Brother's might.
The commander selection for the Gold of Heaven Fiend
has caught great attention. There are already almost 500 brave men
who registered. There are even foreign ones
who are joining.
But that person that I'm giving importance to is refusing to accept my invitation.
It is indeed strange that Crown Prince refused
to attend such a bustling event.
What could he be planning?
He is refusing to stand on my side, but he insisted on staying here in Rock City.
I then must always worry about his safety here in Heaven Fiend for I might get in trouble with it.
I actually heard some rumors.
Crown Prince actually went to the registration venue.
His purpose was to look for a person.
Who?
This person is called Jiang Feng. He's one of the competitor.
I heard that in front of so many people,
Crown Prince was urging this person to go back for he is worried that his life will get endangered.
The two of them we're quite intimate.
What's his background?
I've investigated it. This person is a member of the Crown Prince's Secret Guard.
He has accompanied him since he was little and never left his side.
Technically speaking, the Secret Guard of the Imperial City comes and goes like a shadow,
but only this person has won the trust of Crown Prince
and is highly favored. Always accompanying him.
I had to put on an act with him everyday. It's more tiring than martial arts training.
It's all because of your rotten idea. If you do this again, I won't play with you anymore.
If you're unable to endure it now, expect worse.
Older Sis Fuyao, Mr. Zong is back!
Mr. Zong.
Doctor,
it's fine that you left without any notice. You even had to return in such a silent manner?
Aren't you afraid that this place is a trap set up by Zhan Nancheng?
That you came back just to die?
When I returned, there are spies everywhere.
I'm sure that they have long known that I'm here.
That's great then.
Out of a moment of anger, this Jiang Feng joined the competition.
He cares a lot about this person?
From the looks of it, he indeed does.
Good.
How did it go?
Qi Zhen has escaped.
Yun Hen pardoned him?
No.
That time, he was unable to kill him and said he'll just imprison him forever.
Although I was against it, I couldn't force him to kill anyone.
It's just that not long after getting imprisoned, news of Qi Zhen being sick came out.
A wise man loves people based on proper moral standards.
A short-sighted person loves others without any principles.
This is not being kind. It's being weak.
You two brothers have different standpoints.
Qi Zhen for you is an arch enemy.
But for Yun Hen, it's 18 years of love and care.
Revenge must be sought, but a debt of gratitude must be repaid too.
Repaying a debt of gratitude? He indeed is repaying his debt of gratitude.
What about Qi Zhen?
I fear that he's hiding in the dark and just waiting for a chance to make a comeback.
With Yun Hen having such a personality, how could he bear the burden of being king of Deep Water?
No one was born to kill.
There are some walls that he must run into by himself.
Until one day, when he's badly beaten, when he knows how to feel pain,
he will then understand.
I still hope that things will go smoothly for him.
What is your plan then?
I won't be able to be at ease until Qi Zhen is killed.
How about this? Rather than waiting for the rabbit to come out,
why not lure him into your lair?
What do you think?
You get to have three lifetimes of misfortunes if you meet the wrong person.
You're saying that Mr. Zong will be joining that commander competition too?
You will go act as Jiang Feng and then you two deliberately pretended
to be very close, so as to attract that Zhan Nancheng's attention, right?
Why then is Mr. Zong going?
Why are you so stupid? Think about it again.
Was he afraid that you'll get hurt during the competition, so he sent Mr. Zong to save you?
You're so stupid!
I'm wrong?
- Think about it. I'm Jiang Feng. I'm a Secret Guard. - That's right.
For so many years, I've quietly stayed by Crown Prince's side. I don't have any official title nor prestige.
I even have to watch some Medical Sage of Five Regions
stealing my best friend, the Crown Prince, away.
Hence, I felt so disappointed.
I felt so depressed.
You got jealous of them, so you left Crown Prince.
And at this time, that Zhan Nancheng surely will want to get you on his side.
Correct. I was jealous.
Hence, me changing to another job, dissatisfaction, and grievances will become reasonable now, right?
Okay now?
What about me?
What will I be portraying? Have you already made the arrangements?
Portray what? I'm going too.
How come you're always around?
Oh, you two...
...can portray the tree by Crown Prince's side.
The auspicious time has arrived!
- Crown Prince Wuji really won't come? - The carriages I've sent to fetch him
are still waiting. Don't know if he'll be able to come today.
I've already done everything that I can do.
I didn't lack in gifts or official writings.
If he wants to put on airs, why must he do it right under my sight?
Isn't he deliberately embarrassing me?
Where are they? What's the content of the first round?
Hunting kill.
Since the day of the registration, all the people who left their names on the registration wall
has been given a white belt. Today,
they will become the assassination target of the highly skilled secret guards of the city.
I've sent an order that anyone with such a mark mustn't be kept alive.
Whoever is able to safely arrive here will be considered to have successfully escaped the assassination attempt.
Only those that are able to enter the Chill Palace Hall alive will be considered to have passed this round.
Who are you? Who sent you?
This is the selection competition of the Gold of Heaven Fiend. We've received orders
to assassinate all contestants. Only those that will survive
can enter the Chill Palace Hall and join the competition.
How many people has survived? Only 10%.
May Mister quickly rush towards the Chill Palace Hall.
They all just came here to Heaven Fiend to seek an official career.
They never offended anyone. Why must their lives get treated as if it has no value?
It's just a competition. Why must they use such a ruthless method?
Ruthless? Anyone who will say such a word
is either a child still feeding on his mother's milk,
or someone who doesn't know what being a Gold of Heaven Fiend is .
Our Gold of Heaven Fiend has always been people who has climbed out of a pile of corpse.
Which commander hasn't stood on a pool of blood?
Of course, I understand that,
that's why, I especially arranged for this first round.
Younger Brother Heng, you really know me.
The first important duty of a commander of Gold of Heaven Fiend is to stay alive.
If those competitors don't even clearly know that,
then they deserve to die.
What Royal Brother said is so right.
- How long must we wait before this place gets lively? - Very soon.
After the incense has completely burned, the gates of Chill Palace Hall will be closed.
Even if they survive,
but are late in entering this place,
they will also get eliminated.
Crown Prince Wuji has arrived!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Fuyao's Court Team @ Viki.com
I thought that Your Highness Crown Prince disliked our Heaven Fiend for being a harsh and ragged place
hence, I won't be able to make you come here today.
The king of Heaven Fiend is showing great hospitality to invite me here.
How could I not come?
Please.
Crown Prince, are you waiting for someone?
Greetings, Your Majesty!
I think no one can cure my illness anymore.
Unless it's Zong Yue...
All of you are highly skilled martial artists.
All also came here for the commander position of the Gold of Heaven Fiend.
I won't say much anymore.
The person who will be victorious in the competition that will be held here today
will become the new commander of Gold of Heaven Fiend
and will be conferred the title Heaven Fiend Generalissimo Black Tortoise.
He will forever enjoy wealth, fame, and glory!
I meticulously designed your competition for today.
Don't disappoint my effort. Get up!
Qi Yun? Why is she here?
This is a treasure of our Heaven Fiend.
Today, I want to ask you all to help me get it.
Whoever among you will be able to bring it out there first,
he then is the victor.
But once the lighted fire cut off the rope
and the treasure falls, then for the competition today,
I will be considered the victor.
This is the venue for your competition for today.
If you want to get this treasure, you must get out of that area.
But if you are touched by a sword,
you'll also be considered to have lost. If you get stabbed by it,
I don't need to say it anymore.
Start!
The competition starts now!
Crown Prince looks as if you know someone among them.
He has stayed by my side since he entered the palace at age 5.
After being together for so long, it can't be helped to develop some affection.
Recently, we had some minor conflict and he insisted to come here and join with the fun.
If he does create any trouble, hope Brother Zhan can forgive him.
Is it that mister with box-like prints on his clothing?
Indeed.
- Who then is this one? - Zong Yue.
The Medical Sage Zong Yue?
He also is my long time friend.
One is a close childhood friend.
One is a good friend that I completely trust.
Who should I support to win then?
Crown Prince is such a loyal friend. That is a good thing!
I'm not your competition. Just do as you want.
I'm Tang Yizhong from Plough!
Thanks.
Brother Yue.
Mr. Zong is already famous throughout the Five Regions.
Why must you compete with nameless younger ones like us
for a position that you don't really care about?
So, it's one of the secret guard by Wuji's side.
You said it right. I indeed don't care about this position,
but I just don't want you to win it. You're not my competition. Give up.
That is exactly what I want to say too.
Brother Zhan, I have something to request today.
Can you just let those two win?
If they continue to fight like this, I fear that one of them might get hurt.
No need! I don't want to earn my achievement through Crown Prince's charity.
Jiang Feng, you...
Good!
Little Ye...
Imperial Concubine Jing.
- For a competition that I meticulously designed, - Get up.
only by putting in a live person will it become more interesting.
If I came late and didn't catch her, what then?
- She'll die. - You...
What? You have an objection?
Your Majesty, why didn't you say so earlier that the treasure hanging earlier was a woman.
Because I extended my arms earlier, I almost fractured it.
If I got hurt because of her, Your Majesty, your gains will not make up for your losses.
What you said is indeed right. Good thing, you're alright.
Since you're the winner of today's competition, I will do as I said and confer you the title.
This time, I should lead you two to see our Gold of Heaven Fiend.
What? What does Crown Prince mean by that?
This person is a member of the Secret Guard of Megrez Imperial City.
He has been with me for so many years. We're like real brothers.
Hope Brother Zhan won't steal other people's treasure.
I am just doing things based on the rules.
We can't aggrieve this Sir.
Crown Prince, you promised me before that if I win today's competition,
I get to decide if I'm going to leave or not.
I did promise you, but I never expected that you'll win.
- I never— - You never gave me any importance.
That's right. I came from the common people class, of nameless reputation.
Other than being a person that has accompanied you since childhood, I am nothing to you.
In the end, I couldn't compare to that medical sage.
Why must you be like this?
The competition for the commander of Gold of Heaven Fiend didn't spring up because of a personal whim.
The news has already been announced. So many eyes in the Five Regions are watching.
I must still determine an outcome.
- This... - Also,
this secret guard that has served Crown Prince has outstanding bravery and is an elite and talented youth.
It's also rare that he was born to be this handsome.
Today, there were so many skilled warriors in here, but he was still able to win against everyone.
Your Highness Crown Prince has trained him well.
It would be disrespectful for me to decline such a huge benefit.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
In the palace this morning,
if not because I was thinking of helping Zhan Beiye fulfill his grand plan, I would have killed that asshole.
It's right that you endured it.
Good thing, Zhan Beiye wasn't around today. If he saw that Imperial Concubine Jing got...
I can't really imagine it.
That is how vicious Zhan Nancheng is. He has a purpose for putting Imperial Concubine Jing in such danger.
He is too sinister.
If Zhan Beiye is here, he would have rushed to save her.
By then, he would have fallen into his trap.
We must hurry and help Zhan Beiye take back his throne.
While that Zhan Nancheng is around, I then can't stop feeling disgusted.
Of course. Once you take over the Gold of Heaven Fiend,
you then will be able to have access to all the secrets of the Heaven Fiend Palace.
Zhan Beiye will be leading his army outside. We must rationally coordinate with him.
But you must remember one thing, no matter how much you hate Zhan Nancheng,
you must continue playing your act.
If you're able to get his trust, you'll be able to clutch at his throat then.
Don't worry. With a crown prince like you...
...and Medical Sage Zong Yue around, I...
...will easily become a favored subject of that Zhan Nancheng.
Zhan Nacheng has always been very suspicious of everything
and everyone other than himself.
Even if Fuyao is able to earn his favor,
it will still be hard for her to get full military power over the Gold of Heaven Fiend.
What's important now can be divided into 2 steps.
First step, we must make Zhan Nancheng truly trust her.
Second step, we must make this guy have no one to trust.
Hey, do you have a problem?
Nothing.
There is a tea house over there that's very refined. Let me take you there to look.
Walk well! How did I teach you?
No discipline at all.
Yo, Eunuch Li, why must you still personally come here?
Don't mention it. Another eunuch serving His Majesty has died.
Eunuch Hua, quickly fill it up. Don't cause any delay in serving His Majesty.
Jeez, these kids have just entered the palace.
They haven't learned the rules yet.
This one looks very quick-witted. He then.
No, this kid has just entered the palace for 3 days. He only knows to do some chores.
What if His Majesty gets mad about it...
There is a eunuch serving His Majesty dying every several days.
How can we use our people? These newbies are the most suitable choice.
When one dies, we'll just hire a new one. It won't be that emotionally painful to us, isn't it?
Okay. I understand.
You! Quickly and follow Eunuch Li to serve His Majesty!
Quickly!
Hurry up!
Go! Keep up!
No discipline at all.
