[Legend of Fuyao]
~ Episode 49 ~
Before, Prince Eternal expressed to Your Majesty
that the national treasury is in deficit.
Your Majesty even ordered His Highness Prince Eternal to investigate some important officials.
That has been several days ago.
Your Majesty, have you seen any money?
Royal Brother, I'm innocent!
Whether you're innocent or not, we can just go to your manor and see.
Look over there!
Hurry!
- There! Hurry! - Here!
Look over here!
- There! - A few of you, go there!
- Hurry! Here! - There's nothing here!
- Hurry! - Come here!
We found it! It's in here!
Hurry! Hurry!
Younger Brother Heng, you have wealth that can compete with the nation's.
How...
...how could this be...
...how could this be possible?
You don't plan to say that someone secretly placed this in your manor, right?
Your Majesty! Your Majesty, have mercy!
I really don't know where these gold and silver came from!
Your Majesty, please investigate it wisely...
It must be her! She and Crown Prince colluded to frame me! Your Majesty...
You're saying that my eyes are blind, my brain is defective,
and couldn't even discern if you're being framed?
No...
These are all gold being kept inside the state's treasury. Only a few can touch them.
You helped me manage them, hence, have access to them.
Your Majesty, have mercy! I'm innocent!
These past years, I did corrupt a few kickbacks,
but...it's not this much!
There must be someone who is framing me!
- Report! - Royal Brother...
Informing Your Majesty, there is one more level in this basement that's hiding bows, armors, and fire weapons.
- What else do you want to say? - Royal Brother...
Younger Brother Heng, we have the same mother.
I've always thought that even if others will rebel against me, you won't.
Looks like, I was wrong.
Do you think that since I'm able to sit on this throne, you too can?
No...
Do you think that by inciting me to kill all our brothers from a different mother,
you then can have a reason to call for an uprising?
Have I not given you enough all these years?
I've already given you what should be given,
yet you are still greedy and discontented.
You being like this is more hateful than others.
Take him away! Lock him up in the Celestial Prison!
Yes!
No! No!
Royal Brother, don't! Royal Brother!
Royal Brother!
Your Majesty.
Please punish me.
What crime did you commit? Why must I punish you?
Your Majesty must think that...
...since I only said a lot of things today,
it must be because I'm conniving with Crown Prince,
you must be feeling that I have an ulterior motive.
Isn't it that so?
I have no ulterior motive at all!
What I have in my heart is just prolonged torment.
The reason that I know about all these
is because Crown Prince trusted me. As a member of the secret guard,
even if I lose my life, I can't betray my master.
But now, I'm already Your Majesty's Generalissimo Black Tortoise.
You've treated me so well and I owed you a lot. How could I disappoint your trust?
How could I just watch Prince Eternal harm you?
Although these past days, I might look high spirited,
my heart was being tormented day and night.
On one hand, I kept thinking that I shouldn't break my promise.
On the other hand, I'm thinking of Your Majesty's safety.
Today, it was all because Prince Eternal was pressuring me too much.
I have no choice but to say all these truths.
But I also know...
...that once I say all these truths,
Crown Prince and I...
...will become irreconcilable enemies.
Your Majesty will also not trust me anymore.
Fine then. By saying all these today, I was able to ensure Your Majesty's safety.
I've then repaid my debt of gratitude towards you.
Even if from now on, I have to bear eternal infamy, I will accept it.
I just ask Your Majesty to be merciful and let me
have a place to live in Rock City.
Even if I'm unable to stay by your side every day from now on,
I could at least look at the royal palace of Rock City,
think about your absolutely stunning reign,
and spend the rest of my miserable life like that.
I'm already contented.
Come.
You sincerely have done things for my sake. I'm not some muddled king who can't discern right from wrong.
As the secret guard of Upper Yang Palace, if not because of what happened today,
I probably wouldn't dare to give you any important position.
Your Majesty, you...
Now, you and Zhangsun Wuji has completely broken up.
You also gained merit for protecting me and removing a traitor.
You even helped me fill up our state's treasury.
With such a huge contribution, how can I punish you?
I'm going to reward you, a big reward!
Thank you, Your Majesty!
Generalissimo Black Tortoise Jiang Feng will now be handling and commanding the Gold of Heaven Fiend
of the Royal City. This is effective immediately.
Especially conferring him the title rank one General Nation Stabilizer,
rank one Guarding Marquis Nation Protector.
Prince Eternal plotted to rebel, privately kept military fire weapons,
and embezzled the national treasury. He is wrecking the country and bringing ruin to the people.
He is truly a trouble to the government. His crime is unpardonable.
Considering that he's a royal relative, he's being allowed to maintain a full corpse.
He's being granted a poisoned wine and asked to commit suicide.
The important military affairs under Prince Eternal
will now be temporarily handled by Generalissimo Black Tortoise.
No mistakes must be made.
You did great. You've worked hard in staying inside Prince Eternal Manor for a few days.
Teacher, it's not my own merit.
If not because you already had men inside Prince Eternal Manor, this framing up matter wouldn't have been a success.
When did you learn to fawn?
Now that we've eliminated Prince Eternal,
don't know how things are going with General Zhan.
- Here is some food. - Thank you.
Be careful. Slower.
I still want to rest for a while.
Sure.
Are you alright?
What are you thinking?
The battle in Ice Land was the second time that you've saved me. I will never forget it.
In front, it's already Geya Desert.
But I must go in.
I must charge back to Rock City and retake the throne.
But this journey is too dangerous. I fear that you—
No matter what choice you make,
I will follow you.
Whether it's Geya Desert or charging back to Rock City,
as long as you're there,
I will forever accompany you, forever.
Even the most powerful Prince Eternal has become a traitor prince.
From now on, our Rock City will not have any prince that won't fall.
Embezzling public funds and even storing military fire power. With crimes like that,
even ten Prince Eternal couldn't bear it. The palace has sent men to capture the remaining allies of Prince Eternal.
Don't know how many people will be involved.
Move aside! Move aside!
Move aside! All of you, clear the way!
You finally are willing to see me.
Oh, no! Oh, no! Royal Brother! Royal Brother, spare my life!
Royal Brother, spare my life!
His Majesty said that even though you harbored intentions to rebel and is unpardonable,
you still have loyally served him for many years. Even if you don't have merits, you had exerted efforts.
Hence, he especially sent me to send you off.
Royal Brother was afraid that I won't die
and asked you to monitor. Am I right?
In this life, I've lived more cautiously and meticulously than anyone.
I was afraid that I'll invite a fatal disaster. Never thought...
...I still won't be able to escape it.
Rather than dying with false accusations, I should have just truly rebeled!
Maybe, I could have fought a way to survive.
That's right too...
I've always known Royal Brother's character and temper.
Even if I escape this time,
I wouldn't have a good death in the end.
Rather than saying that you framed me,
why not just say that Royal Brother has been guarding against me all this time. My ending today
was him taking advantage of a favorable opportunity.
For Prince Eternal to realize these, it's for the best.
Retribution!
These past years, just to protect you,
I personally killed 3 of my biological brothers.
I'm ashamed to face the ancestors of the Zhan clan!
I indeed deserved to die.
Today...let's just treat this as my apology for my crimes.
I will ensure the safety of your wife and children. Just go in peace.

Could that be the Aquatic Dragon Ancient City?
Hold tightly to my hand. Whatever happens, you mustn't let go. Understand?
The distinguished king of Deep Water Nation coming into Heaven Fiend Nation alone,
it can't be because you miss me, right?
I'm here to look for a person.
Qi Yun?
You've seen her? Where is she now?
I heard that she joined the competition of the Gold of Heaven Fiend just to look for you.
Yes.
Did she get hurt? Where is she now?
Up to when do you plan to keep being manipulated by them?
I...just am worried about her.
Was it only about her? Is it not because Qi Zhen has escaped prison,
you're unable to find him, that's why you chased them up to here?
So, you already knew.
How long do you plan to hide this from me?
How did all these happen?
At the start, I locked Qi Zhen up in the celestial prison.
A few days ago, he suddenly fell ill.
He looked as if he won't last long anymore. Qi Yun then came to see me.
She said that she wants to take care of her father on his last few days.
I got soft-hearted and agreed with it.
Not only did you agree,
you even had him removed from prison, delivered to the side courtyard,
and even had an imperial physician treat him.
At the start, I thought that he was lingering on his last breath.
I didn't guard against him.
But who would have thought that old man
was actually doing an escape act.
You couldn't even keep watch of Qi Yun. Why then were you so confident that you could keep watch of Qi Zhen?
You treat him as a godfather that raised you, but he sees you...
...as the hateful person who stole his royal throne.
He might be hiding now
and preparing to kill you.
He isn't like that.
This is a letter he left me before he escaped. Read it.
[For my son, Yun Hen]
General, I've searched everywhere. There are no traces of the secret army.
Everyone, set up camp here.
Even if we have to wait, we must wait for them.
Yes!
Qi Zhen said that the reason he did every means to find the Dragon Scale Armor
was to preserve Qi Yun's life.
You also know that without the Dragon Scale Armor, Qi Yun won't survive.
And?
Qi Zhen also said that he knew how great his sins are.
He is escaping just to find Qi Yun.
He said that even if he and his daughter lose their lives,
he will return the Dragon Scale Armor to our Xuanyuan clan.
He said that it's time to close the debts he had with the Xuanyuan royal clan.
Really?
But I don't believe any words that Qi Zhen said.
He already lost military power and trusted aides.
Even if he has escaped, what can he do?
In the past, he had such great power, but still failed in getting the royal throne of Deep Water Nation.
That is more impossible now.
I just...am worried...
...that he'll hurt Qi Yun if fall into severe despair.
Qi Zhen knew you so well.
He's doing this to take advantage of your kindness
and your feelings towards Qi Yun. Can't you really see it?
He is Yun'er's father! Yun'er is his daughter!
Did Qi Zhen contact you already?
That's good then. I plan to find him sooner or later anyway.
I'll go with you
and finish what should have been finished.
Zhangsun Wuji has been meticulously protecting you. I thought it's some big shot.
But aren't you also just some ordinary person?
What is your relationship with Wuji?
Wuji?
You call him so intimately. What right do you have to ask me?
Fine. I'm too lazy to ask.
Hey! Who gave you the permission to leave?
What do you want? Kill me?
Why will I kill you? I have a message that I want you to relay to Zhangsun Wuji.
Our Grand Teacher have words to ask him. Tell him to listen well.
Since it's your Grand Teacher who has a message for Wuji,
just personally tell it to him. I won't help you with this favor anymore.
You just do what I tell you to do. Don't force me to get physical.
Don't look for trouble. Just quickly go home, child.
You dare say that I'm a child?!
I won't allow you to protect her!
- I'm fine. - Is it painful?
- Have you had enough?! - Isn't it just a superficial wound?!
My co-disciple just casually hurting others, looks like as the first disciple of Firmament, I must teach you a lesson.
You dare use a restriction technique on me?!
Don't appear in front of her again. Let's go.
If you die in her hands in the future, don't blame me for not warning you!
The medicine of that doctor is quite effective. It's not painful anymore.
You still got hurt right in front of me. It was my fault.
What are you saying?
Compared to the things we've been through, this small wound is nothing.
Hey, but who is that girl? Why is she targeting me?
Her name is Taiyan. She's the disciple of Palace Leader Fei Yan.
Palace Leader Fei Yan?
My teacher is the most respected elder of Firmament, Tianji, and he handles the Zhangqing (Long Green) Palace Hall.
Although Palace Leader Fei Yan came from our sect,
she rarely interacted with us. But since we all are in Firmament,
I should even be calling her Teacher Aunt.
Hence, Taiyan can be considered to be my junior sister.
She's used to being an annoying troublemaker. She's not really targeting you. Don't mind her.
I won't mind.
But I'm very curious why you went to Firmament to train for 10 years.
I don't know if it counts as escaping.
Or maybe, I wanted to prove myself.
No one forced me to go to Firmament.
It was a decision that I made. But I never thought that I would be gone for 10 years,
because there is a thing that I couldn't face.
If...you...
...trust me, I can face it with you.
We have to start with the marriage alliance between my Royal Father and Royal Mother.
This perfect combination that is a match made in heaven the eyes of bystanders
isn't really that perfect as others imagined. Because that time, my Royal Mother
already had someone she loves.
You finally are willing to see me.
I never thought of competing with Zhangsun Jiong for anything.
Zhangsun Jia...
It's Prince Virtue?
He...is your Royal Uncle?
I don't know what happened in the past generation.
Two people are clearly in love, but Royal Mother had to marry Royal Father in the end.
What I couldn't understand more is since she made such a decision,
why then must she still long for Prince Virtue and disregard Royal Father and the empire?
These...you have known them ever since?

Since you can't change what has happened,
stop stuffing them in your heart.
Don't punish yourself for the mistake of the past generation.
If I'm just an ordinary person, I probably wouldn't make things this difficult on myself.
But I'm the Crown Prince of Megrez.
Every time I face Royal Father, I would remember those unbearable things.
We've been guarding here for 2 days, but we haven't even seen the shadows of those secret army.
Will they really appear?
Presently, they are our only choice.
We can only wait until they appear.
No matter how long we must wait, I will accompany you.
- Come over here. Is it cold? - No.
I just feel that this place is too lonely.
Other than the sound of the sand being blown by the wind, there's no sign of life at all.
Fifth Older Brother, you said before that this Secret Army was once a member of the Dark Storm Cavalry.
- Yes. - They became like this because they betrayed the Five Regions.
But why would they do that?
It's because of this Aquatic Dragon Ancient City.
For this city?
Even though this ancient city is now dilapidated,
According to legends, there used to be endless amounts of treasures hidden under this city.
Even if you gather all the resources of the Five Regions, it can't compare.
They took interest in those treasures.
Just for gold, silver, and precious gems, they allowed their mind to get disturbed?
Isn't that getting bewitched too easily?
This Aquatic Dragon Ancient City has always been an enchanted place.
Those treasures are also being protected by a mystical power.
Mere mortals like us can never touch them.
If you get bewitched by them, you must bear a curse that can't be reversed.
- They can't ever leave Geya? - Correct.
It's exactly because of their betrayal, thousands of citizens
within the Aquatic Dragon Ancient City lost their lives.
Just to punish them, Firmament had them imprisoned here for generations.
If no one will remove the seal for them,
they will then suffer torment for generations.
Hence...you tried your best to prove that you're an outstanding crown prince.
One is to make up for your Royal Mother's crime. Second is to let your Royal Father know
that under any circumstances, you are their most outstanding son.
That's right. Hence, I...dare not have any moment of slacking off.
Because only I know how heavy this crown prince position is.
I don't want Royal Father to have any disappointments or dissatisfaction.
But didn't you still disobey your Royal Father in the end?
Do you know how much your Royal Father is against me being by your side?
Without you, I might be living just for the royal throne.
But it's exactly because of you that I realized
that there are a lot more things in this world that's worthy to be done.
But I'm lucky that I've finally found a person in this lifetime
whom I can share my secrets and give my trust to.
I also feel fortunate
that I'm able to find a person that can fight with me side by side.
Someone that can go through challenges with me.
This Secret Army...think about it.
They got confused and became traitors.
After the Great Firmament Battle, they suffered a huge lost. That was thousands of years ago.
They were unable to live any good days.
It's enough to be suffering a bad reputation for generations, but even just going home for once is excessive expectation.
They are so pitiful.
I think that they surely don't want to keep being like this.
They probably are hoping to be released from this soon.
Since they chose to betray, they then must suffer the punishment.
But it's been thousands of years. No matter how big their sin was, they have suffered enough punishment.
Fifth Older Brother. You said before
that the Blue Dragon Wildness Sword can restrict them.
Then, is there a way for it to release them?
That's right. The Secret Army betrayed, that's why, they got cursed.
If I make an oath with this Blue Dragon Wildness Sword again,
maybe, I can make them fulfill their promise once again.
Let them fulfill their promise again.
Come, eat and drink.
Come. Eat. Here.
Mr. Zong, going out this early in the morning?
The one lying inside my room is my younger brother.
He got tired from traveling, so don't wake him up.
Okay. Mister, don't worry.
You said it right. Qi Zhen has raised you for 18 years.
You can't just pretend that you don't remember this gratitude.
My appearance was just pain and hatred for you.
But I can't forget the deep grudge of the massacre of our family.
For the citizens of Deep Water Nation, your kindness is a good thing.
For our dead parents, it's being unfilial.
I know that all of these are torture and suffering for you.
Since I'm the older brother, just let me end those bloody stench and dirt
that you don't want to face.
My life is just borrowed to begin with. It's not worthy to be cherished.
But you must remember the honor of the Xuanyuan clan of Deep Water Nation.
As the king of Deep Water Nation, you must serve your nation loyally and earn its citizens blessings.
With that, I will die with no regrets.
In the name of the Blue Dragon Wildness Sword,
I'm calling all the Dark Storm Cavalry in the Five Regions!
Blue Dragon in the wild, riding the wind to be our flag!
General, they are here!
Is the Aquatic Dragon Ancient City a place that mortals like you should enter?!
Since you people are here, it's just proper that I come!
Who are you?!
You don't know me?
Then don't you recognize this sword?!
Grandmaster Zhou is my grandfather!
Impossible.
I, Zhan Beiye, is the son of Heaven Fiend Nation's King Jianhe,
the only descendant of Grandmaster Zhou.
Being able to wield this sword already explains everything.
What questions do you still have?
Why did you come here?
I came to take back your promise.
Take back?
We didn't make any promise to you.
But you all made an oath to this.
Once the Blue Dragon appears, the Dark Storm Cavalry is swearing to serve him until death.
Even if you hold the Blue Dragon Wildness Sword,
even if you are the descendant of the Zhou and Zhan families, so what?
We've been abandoned by the Five Regions long ago! We don't want to get controlled by your lusts anymore.
You...don't have the right to order us around.
That's why, you'd rather get locked up in here.
You all are the citizens of Five Regions!
You've signed a life contract that lasts for generations.
You said that you're going to follow and loyally serve the imperial court until death!
I don't know what kind of seduction happened thousands of years ago,
but I know that you all will never forget that you are a decent human being.
That you shouldn't get trapped in this barren land and living in fear.
Have you ever thought
that there is no ending in this kind of torture aiming to ravage one's dignity?
Although there are a lot of unbearable matter and regrets in this world,
we still continue to move forward.
Still continue to fight for the survival of Five Regions!
But what about you? You'd rather get trapped in here
and just watch how the citizens suffer?!
This bright red eyes of the Sword God
bore witness to the moment when each Dark Sword Cavalry made their oath.
Fighting for Heaven Fiend Nation! Fighting for the citizens of Ice Land!
These words...have you all forgotten them?!
What do you want?
I want your strength.
Five Regions now has danger sprouting left and right. Heaven Fiend Nation is currently being ruled by a muddled king.
The citizens are in unbearable suffering.
I want you all to fight for the citizens of Heaven Fiend Nation.
- Why must I believe you? - You can only believe me.
I'm swearing by the name of the Blue Dragon Wildness Swordup
that as long as you all accompany me in eliminating the muddled king, support the true royal ruler,
and return peace to Heaven Fiend Nation...
...I'm willing to use the Heaven Fiend Double Sound to remove your curse.
Only I can remove the curse of the Aquatic Dragon Ancient City.
You know that more than anyone.
You all must believe him.
He...is the most trustworthy man who keeps all his promises...
...that I've seen in this life.
He won't lie to you!
We believe you.
I want you to swear using a life.
- I agree to it. - General, you can't die!
Let me do it!
This is none of your business!
I only want a woman. Sacrifice her life as an offering.
Only by offering her life
will we fight for you.
Don't even think of it!
There's no room for discussion then.
Wait!
I'll do as you say!
No!
I won't allow you to do this.
Fifth Older Brother,
this is the last thing I'm going to do for you.
Let go.
No!
Let go of me!
I won't allow you to do it!
General!
You all listen...
...I'm the descendant of the Zhan and Zhou clans.
This is my own matter.
It has nothing to do with others.
If you insist on using a life as an offering,
then just take mine.
But you all must fulfill your promise.
I want you to eliminate the muddled king
and return peace to Heaven Fiend.
General!
