Come on over. I'll let you attack three times.
Again.
Damn. I've fallen for their trick.
Fine, you don't have to fight anymore. You've won.
Do you really mean it?
Sheng Hu is only average and Xiao Liu is below average.
What are our chances of winning?
You are so cunning.
- Le Er, we're free! - We're free!
We fought well this afternoon.
How did you come up with such a good idea?
Have you heard about the story of 'Tian Ji and the horse race?'
That's how you came up with it.
It seems you are quite a reader of war strategy books.
Not only is he a fervent reader, but also a great strategist.
Even the great strategist Su Zhe would be impressed by his battle formation plans.
You're such a talented man.
Have you thought of putting that to use?
I'm sure with your intelligence and talent you will soon be known all over the nation.
I used to have such a desire but not anymore.
Why is that?
Because I now have a different goal in life.
I'd rather lead a carefree life with my lady
than make a name for myself on battlefields.
- That's such a pity. - Not at all!
One has to be happy in life.
- Here, let's have some drinks! - I want some as well!
Wait a minute. How can a woman drink?
Why not? Do you belittle women?
- We're capable of things men aren't. - This...
Is it good?
It's so strong!
We don't seem to have enough dishes to go with the wine.
Yes, let's go fishing.
- Are you coming along? - Why not?
- Let's go! - Let's!
Is Xiao Hua really capable of accomplishing great things in life?
You're really fortunate.
Very few men are willing to sacrifice their ambition for a woman.
Xiao Hui, the time has come for us to bade farewell.
We will take our leave now.
Pingdu is at war and none of you are skilled in martial arts.
- Please be very careful. - I will.
- Won't you consider my suggestion about... - I'm not that ambitious.
I just want to lead a simple life.
Several men, several minds. I won't push you.
Hold on to this letter.
If you run into any trouble take this letter to Yun Kuang.
He will help you.
- Farewell. - Farewell.
Are you really coming along with me?
Yes. I have nowhere else to go anyway.
You'll have to suffer if you tag along.
- And I'm telling you... - Don't steal!
I know. I won't ever steal again.
Honestly speaking, are you heading to Pingdu to look for Yun Kuang?
How did you know?
You were asking around for information on Pingdu so that was an easy guess.
Then why are you still coming with me?
Aren't you afraid of him?
I have you to protect me, so why should I be scared?
If Yun Kuang takes down Lin Yang, will you be the Empress?
Oh my goodness.
I'm actually friends with an Empress.
No one will believe me if I tell them that.
That's not important.
It's him that I like, not the title.
I wonder how the war is faring?
Yun Kuang... Yun army...
Are you sleepy?
Didn't you say you don't want to be ambitious anymore?
Why do you keep staring at that letter then?
It's just for fun.
I'll burn it now if you don't like it.
This is Lu Le's sentiment. Don't waste it.
You are what matters the most to me.
If I compare you to everything, I'd choose you over it all.
Tell me. How long will you love me?
A lifetime.
I'm sure that I love you more.
I love you for all eternity. All eternity.
Le Er, could we have taken the wrong route?
It's been ten some days and we still haven't reached Pingdu.
I don't know either.
I just kept going east like Xiao Hui said.
Let's ask someone for directions? Let's go.
Sir, do you know how to get to Pingdu?
You are already in Pingdu.
Really? Do you know where Yun Kuang is stationed?
Why do you have to mention Yun Kuang?
If we knew this was going to happen I'd rather we didn't go to war.
Exactly!
Has he really been that terrible?
- Yes, he is! - There's bound to be casualties in war.
You keep saying Yun Kuang is bad.
Do you know how she is related to Yun Kuang?
- You'll be petrified if you know about it! - Xi Bing!
You are Yun Kuang's woman, so what are you afraid of?
If you allow them to say what they will, how can you establish your authority?
She is Yun Kuang's sweetheart!
What? What did you just say?
So you are Yun Kuang's family?
God has finally done us justice! We can take revenge on her!
What are you doing?
Listen up! Yun Kuang's army is right behind us.
If you try anything funny, he'll kill you!
Don't believe her! She's lying to us!
She just asked me where Yun Kuang is stationed!
Yes, I don't know where he is stationed.
But he will be here soon to pick Madam up.
Shall we see whose head gets chopped off first?
Beat them up!
Our families are dead and killing them won't bring them back.
- We should make our way out of here. - Let's just go!
Let's not have any unnecessary sacrifices.
Let's hurry up and get away from here!
If you see Yun Kuang, tell him I won't spare his life! I'll kill him!
- That's enough. Let's just go. - You're right! Let's go!
Let's go!
Why are you giving me that face?
I'm doing this for your sake.
They keep saying the man you love is a crazed murderer.
Don't you mind when they said that?
It seems Yun Kuang did make many mistakes.
It's true he is very impulsive.
He should learn from Hai Tian in this aspect.
Hai Tian? Who is Hai Tian?
Hai Tian is Master Kou.
How did you get to know so many remarkable people?
You're really incredible.
You've met him as well.
Wait up! You haven't told me when I met Hai Tian.
- It's raining. - Close the door quickly.
- Don't let them in. - Yes.
What are you doing? Open the door!
Go away! You're not welcome here!
This shack doesn't belong to you.
What right do you have to drive us away?
I insist on going in!
I won't open the door! Never!
Xi Bing, it's fine. Stop stirring up trouble here.
Let's just take shelter under the roof.
We're so unlucky. This is all Yun Kuang's fault.
Why did he have to kill so many people?
It's his fault we have to seek shelter from the rain out here.
Weren't you just praising him a while ago?
Why have you changed your mind?
I praised him just now because it wasn't raining.
Now that it's raining, he is to be blamed for killing so many people
I'm so mad.
No! I can't stand this anymore!
Sir, it was a slip of the tongue.
We aren't Yun Kuang's family members.
We are Master Kou's.
Master Kou is called Hai Tian, right?
I do know about him.
Everyone knows that Master Kou's given name is Hai Tian! Don't try to fool us! Go away!
I'm not lying to you! I'm telling the truth.
- Please open the door. - Go away now!
Mother, are you all right? Mother!
What's the matter? Are you all right?
Mother? What the heck! I'm freezing!
You are all dumbasses!
Open the door!
My hand hurts from banging on the door.
What's wrong with her?
It's none of your business! Stay out of this!
- Her symptoms seem to be... - Le Er, they told you to stay out of it.
You always get the cold shoulder for being helpful.
Don't crowd in on her. Give her some air.
Don't gather around her, step aside.
Who do you think you are?
Why should we listen to you?
Has she had heartburn recently?
Does she want to cough but can't? Does she feels tired very easily?
Yes, she does!
She's contracted the plague.
I have looked after a patient who shared the same symptoms.
- Could you trust me on this? - All right.
Get someone to boil some water.
She must have a bath and get changed into clean clothes.
You have to burn all her clothes.
The plague is contagious.
What?
Don't get too close to her.
If you do, make sure you wrap your hands with cloth before you touch her.
Then you won't catch the plague, understood?
Understood.
What are you staring at me for? Do you want her to die?
Hurry up! I don't think she's lying.
Go ahead and follow her instructions.
- Hurry up! - Yes!
Ginger and wild ginger?
Can't seem to find them anywhere...
- Are you sure they can cure the plague? - I'm not sure.
I remembered Uncle Hai recovered from the plague after a lot of sweating.
Wild ginger is much stronger than ginger so it should have a better effect.
Should have? Le Er, that old woman looks like she is going to die anytime now.
If you can't cure her, we'll get into trouble.
Why don't we run away now?
No, we can't. A life is at stake.
In times of war and turmoil, human lives are worthless.
Didn't you notice during our journey that so many are killed or dead?
What can you do? How many can you save?
I'll save as many as I can.
We can't be perfect in everything we do, but we can do our best.
All right, the sun is about to set.
We'd better hurry up and find the herbs.
Le Er! Come take a look!
That's Hai Tian's army!
They must be on their way to meet up with Yun Kuang.
Should we approach them?
At least we'll have someone to take care of us along the way.
Stop yelling!
What will happen to those refugees if we leave now?
Hai Tian is traveling with his army so he can't take all of us with him.
Let's keep looking for the herbs.
I found it!
Stop being so grumpy.
Put yourself in their shoes.
Wouldn't you want someone to help us if we were in trouble?
- You give me aches. - Let's go.
Mother! Mother, are you all right?
Mother! What is happening to you?
Mother!
I knew all along the both of you are not kind.
Yun Kuang killed so many of our families so why would you be any different?
Please hear me out! That's not true!
In my opinion we should kill the both of them!
This will serve as a revenge for the old lady and our families!
You're right!
- Let go of me! - My mother is awake!
- Mother! - Auntie!
- Auntie? - I'm hungry...
Would you like to eat something?
I'll fix you some food right away so bear with me for a while longer.
Hurry up!
Look! Isn't she awake now?
Do you still want to kill us? Insolent folks...
I'm very sorry, ladies.
I have misunderstood the both of you.
Ladies, we won't see you off any further.
We are deeply grateful to you.
If you insist on meeting with Yun Kuang just keep going west on this route.
But Yun Kuang is attacking towards Pingdu.
Why don't you wait for him in Lin Yang instead?
That will save you a journey through the mountains.
And it will ensure you won't miss him.
Thank you for your guidance. We'll meet again.
- We'll meet again! Take care! - Let's go.
Qing Guo!
Jiang Ye!
Xiao Hui, are you insane?
Do you think I forced your woman to entertain me?
Why don't you ask her yourself?
She called me up. Did I force her to?
Why?
What do you think the reason is?
Jiang Ye wins every match and he's very rich.
And you? No one wants to fight you anymore.
I wouldn't choose you either if I were her.
Leave now!
If you make a scene here, I'll call the officials.
Is that the real reason?
You're doing this for money?
Is it money you want?
Fine!
- Is it? Let's practice! - Sure. Let's go!
Xiao Hui.
Do you want to defeat me?
If you want to, then accept my challenge.
My reward is one tenth of yours.
Great!
Madam Jin, look. I have money now.
Tell Qing Guo I can offer her the best quality of life.
Please let her see me.
Aren't you embarrassed to come to me with such a small amount of money?
Jiang Ye gives me chestfuls of money.
Who do you think Qing Guo would choose?
I... I can keep making a lot more.
Forget about it. Don't assume I have no idea how you got the money.
You have such a bad reputation now.
Who will bet their money on you in the future?
Go away. Qing Guo won't see you.
That's not true. Tell her I'm here and she'll come to see me.
Frankly speaking, Qing Guo refuses to see you.
It's useless to make a scene here.
Qing Guo! Come out to meet me, Qing Guo!
- Guards! Drag him away! - Come on out!
- Come with us! Hurry! - Qing Guo!
- Hurry up! Get going! - Qing Guo!
- Get going! - Qing Guo, come on out!
Qing Guo, you...
Take your money with you.
Qing Guo said unless you can lead an army and be an emperor of a state
she won't ever see you.
If you can't do that, then it is impossible between you and her.
Hurry up!
Get going!
- It's him... - Hurry up!
Is this the man you desperately wanted to marry?
That's not him.
How could I have fallen for that sort of man?
By his looks, you can tell he is not a kind person.
Doctor, how is she?
Will the wounds on her face heal properly?
She is fortunate to have survived this with such severe burns.
The most important thing right now is to recuperate well.
Otherwise, she might lose the child.
Child? Are you saying she's expecting?
It's been eight weeks.
That jerk! He is such an asshole!
This is so infuriating!
If I get my hands on him, I'll skin him alive!
Shush! The patient needs to rest in silence.
Let's go downstairs and I'll write you the prescription for the medication.
She's already in such a poor condition, so why should I get her medication?
Don't you think I've suffered enough loss already?
Take this with you.
Don't blame me for being ruthless.
Who told you to get involved with such a destructive man?
Consider yourself unlucky.
Is this all there is to my life?
No, that can't be it.
I'm sure I can land on my feet again.
Keep this letter with you.
If you should get into any trouble
take this letter to Yun Kuang in Xue State and he will help you.
That's right. Yun Kuang...
Will he offer me a chance at a new life?
Get up now! Get up!
- What's wrong? Get up! - Get up!
I'll let you go if you hand me the keys.
Or I'll kill you!
- Do you like it? - Yes, I do.
- Will you be obedient? - Yes.
- I'll make you many windmills? - Yes.
It's so much fun!
[Lin Yang]
Stop right there!
Who do you have in there?
They are my family.
You may leave!
You're awake?
- Where are we? - This is Lin Yang.
Lin Yang...
Zhang Ji was defeated so Yun Kuang barged through Xiaoguan.
He is now leading his troops towards us!
Hai Tian is less than four hundred miles away from Lin Yang City now!
They are about to attack the city so what do you suggest?
Give me suggestions!
Is Chen State about to perish in my reign?
Aren't you all always so eloquent in court?
And now? Why don't you have anything to say?
Fine. Since you can't come up with any ideas
you will all give up your lives for the country!
I'd like to know how many of you are loyal!
Please spare our lives, Your Majesty!
All of you are useless scum!
Your Majesty, please don't panic.
I have a solution to offer.
Prime Minister, you have a solution?
Your Majesty, when the Emperor of Chen State united all six states
Zheng State faced the same crisis as we now do.
But the Crown Prince of Zheng State came up with a great solution.
- He sent an assassin. - Exactly.
But that was a failure!
That was because our halls were heavily guarded then.
However, it is different in Yun Kuang's tent.
You mean...
We will pretend to surrender and then assassinate Yun Kuang.
Once we succeed in doing so
Hai Tian and the other coalition armies will crumble and fall without a leader.
What about the assassin?
Your Majesty, I will find someone for the job in Lin Yang where there are many people.
All right. I will entrust this to you.
I hereby accept the imperial decree.
Uncle, play with me!
- Uncle, play with me! - Sure.
Bei Er, go and play. Don't keep bothering him.
- Do you like it? - Thank you!
It's dinner time!
- You're home? It's dinner time. - Great! It's dinner time!
It's dinner time!
Bei Er, come on.
Here.
We don't have much at home. I'm sorry.
This is already very good.
Try this.
His Majesty's orders are for all men between the ages eighteen and forty
to enter the palace to be inspected.
- Take them away! - Come with us!
- Mother! - My dear!
- If you move, I'll kill him! - Father!
Take them both away!
- Where are you taking my husband? - Father!
- You can't just take him away! - Get going!
- My beloved! - Where are you taking my husband?
You can't just take him away!
Don't worry! I didn't break the law!
I'll be back home soon!
- Father! - My dear!
- I'll be back home soon! - Keep going!
Mother...
This is a trap room.
There are all sorts of traps in here.
The safest spots are where you are sitting right now.
Don't move about unless necessary.
That is to prevent any accidents from happening.
Let's go.
What is this about? They left us here!
Run!
Come with me!
Sire, all men sat for the test.
These are the ones who passed.
Do you know why I summoned you here?
Yun Kuang's army is coming towards us.
Chen State is in peril.
In order to save us, I came up with an idea.
His Majesty wishes to choose a highly skilled warrior among you.
You will pretend to surrender but the aim is to assassinate Yun Kuang!
Isn't that a desperate move? I won't do it!
I'm not going either! I can't do it! No!
Sure. It's all right if you don't want to do it.
But you'll never see your family again.
- My husband! - Father!
- My dear! Bei Er! - Father!
- My husband! - Father!
My dear! Bei Er! How could you do this?
Every man should fulfill his duty to his country.
I have no other choice but to do so.
Sire, you can only choose one man out of all of us.
Who will you choose?
Only one of you will survive.
Your skills will determine who gets to stay alive until the end.
- Guards! - Yes!
- Hand them the weapons! - Yes!
What are you doing?
- My husband! - Father!
It is pretty obvious who gets to stay alive.
Xiao Hui, kill me.
I'm no match for you.
Could you take care of my family for me?
Sire, please spare his life.
I will assassinate Yun Kuang.
Who are you to negotiate such terms with me?
Because I am all you have got.
