Do you think Hai Tian is thinking about that woman?
When it comes to romance it's difficult to just let it go.
I really don't get it. She's just a woman.
Hai Tian is soon going to be the ruler of all men.
What woman can't he have?
Why is he influenced by a woman who doesn't know chalk from cheese?
That is why I said you lack sense.
What is that supposed to mean?
It means you don't have a clue!
But I have to say, most men are always tempted even if they already have a woman.
Hai Tian just hasn't met other pretty ladies.
When he does, I'm sure he'll be tempted.
Don't try any tricks.
- What is the matter? - Sire, this maid tried to escape.
I caught her and was going to hand her over to you.
Zi Shu, Peng Yue. Just when we were speaking of beauties, here is one.
- Isn't she pretty? - Pretty! She's very pretty!
All right! She'll be the one!
- Hai Tian won't be lonely tonight. - Yes.
Pang Wan, what are up to? Don't try anything.
Master Kou's orders are no rape.
Zi Shu, you are talking about taking her by force.
But what I meant was to get Hai Tian a wife.
That's different.
- Come with me! - Yes! Get going!
- Pang Wan! - Stay out of this!
- Pang Wan! - Counselor!
Master Kou is a man.
All men have affections and desires.
Do you want him to be a monk and live a life of abstinence?
Hai Tian!
Why aren't you in bed yet?
'A fair lady is a gentleman's companion.'
I just found you a wife.
Bring her up here!
- Pang Wan! - Let's go!
- What is this for? Pang Wan! - It's all right.
- It's you. - Let me go or you'll regret it.
Chen State is destroyed so now you have no one.
Who said so? I still do.
My guardian angel is Yun Kuang.
I'm Yun Kuang's woman.
Did you hear me? I'm Yun Kuang's woman!
What did you just say? Say it again.
Yun Kuang is entering the capital soon.
He won't let you off if you touch me.
I'd really like to know just what he would do to me!
Hai Tian! It's all in a mess!
What is it?
Yun Kuang is coming towards us right now and is only ten miles away.
Zi Shu said we should retreat right away but Peng Yue wanted Yun Kuang to greet you.
The army is now in a mess.
- Retreat thirty miles away from here. - What?
- Carry out my orders. Hurry! - Yes!
Yun Kuang is finally here.
If he keeps on killing like this, he'll get into trouble sooner or later.
That's his problem.
What I am concerned about now is our biggest issue at hand.
You mean that you have aroused Yun Kuang's suspicion towards you
because of our early invasion of the capital?
Hai Tian, what is there to worry about?
I would say we just go ahead and fight!
First of all, he's strong and we are weak.
We would most definitely be defeated if we take this to war.
Secondly, Chen State is destroyed.
If we keep fighting each other, the Huns might stride in for the kill.
Hai Tian is right.
I think if we handle this with the right etiquette
they can't pick on us.
Let's play it safe.
Let's go!
Lift your heads up.
Le Er!
Do anyone of you know Lu Le?
Tell me her whereabouts and you'll be rewarded with riches!
None of you know her?
Then why should I keep you? Kill them all!
What are you crying about? Speak up!
Yun Kuang, Miss Lu was summoned to court during the previous reign.
The previous emperor is dead.
Perhaps Miss Lu was already buried alive as a sacrifice?
No! She's still alive.
I can feel that she is still alive.
Help!
Warlord!
Warlord, the side chamber is on fire.
It's burning too violently so we can't put it out.
Is there anyone in there?
A woman seems to be in there.
It's Le Er!
Yun Kuang, it's too dangerous!
- Warlord! - Yun Kuang!
Le Er!
Yun Kuang, are you all right?
- Put out the fire! - Hurry!
Yun Kuang, I never thought I'd ever see you again.
But you saved me once again.
Why is it you? Where's Le Er?
Didn't you know? I was the one who entered the palace.
I came here in Le Er's place.
So Le Er wasn't summoned.
- Where is she? - She's at...
Warlord, when we were putting out the fire
we found two burnt corpses in a secret chamber.
One was in the dragon robe so it must be the emperor, Luo Feng.
What should we do with them?
Miao Ge!
Get her a doctor quickly!
- Get a doctor! - Yes!
- Warlord? - Bury the dead! That's simple!
Yes!
Miao Ge...
Miss Yu, you're awake.
How are you? Are you all right?
- Yun Kuang... - How are you feeling?
Are you hungry? Have some food.
What's wrong?
Is this a dream?
From what I remember, you have never been so gentle to me.
What are you talking about?
Don't think too much. Have a bit more.
You didn't finish your sentence the other day.
Where is Le Er?
I knew you wouldn't be this nice to me for nothing.
It seems I benefited from Le Er.
Le Er... Is she well?
Yes, she's doing very well.
Where is she right now?
I don't know either.
- She could be with Hai Tian. - Hai Tian?
How does Le Er know Hai Tian?
Don't you know? She's married to him.
You're lying to me!
It's the same as last time when you set me up!
What an atrocity! How dare you lie to me again!
- No, I didn't! - Enough!
I won't ever believe another word you say.
Do you know why I set you up?
Because I didn't want to lose you.
I'd rather betray my personality than lose you!
Did I do wrong?
A woman loves a man so deeply.
Was I wrong to do so?
Yes, I was wrong. I made a huge mistake.
Who do I think I am?
I'm nothing more than trash left on the battlefield.
How could I be good enough for a man who commands the armed forces?
The Warlord who rules the world.
I've already been punished by God.
That was why I came here in Le Er's place.
I suffered what she was supposed to suffer.
Do you know I was locked up in a lotus lantern?
Do you know I was chosen to assassinate Zhao Sheng?
Do you know I was almost sent to the Huns for alliance by marriage?
Isn't that enough?
Fine. I am still alive.
I'm a caged bird who awaits your arrival.
You swapped the dagger with the plank?
So what?
You only remember the best in her.
I didn't ask you to take your life.
Besides, you are Le Er's sister, so she won't want you dead either.
You'd better stay alive.
Stop talking behind her back.
Have a rest.
Don't you know? She's married to Hai Tian.
Hai Tian? What are you doing here?
Just a while ago, they were...
We're here to buy weapons.
But there was no one here when we arrived.
Who are you looking for?
Le Er!
Bad news. The Emperor of Chen State just died.
All women in the palace are to be buried along with him as a sacrifice.
- What should we do? - Who dares to bury Le Er alive!
Did you ask for me?
Any news from Hai Tian?
He knows his manners pretty well and sent the imperial seal over.
His messenger also sent a scroll in support of your enthronement this morning.
He didn't appear in person though.
Of course he wouldn't dare to be here in person.
He's afraid that I'll kill him.
Should I send some men over with food as a reward and get some news?
Go along with your men.
Check to see if there's a woman called Lu Le in their premises.
Yes, I'll get that done right away.
Le Er, look what I've dug up.
Where did you find so many sweet yams?
I found them out there in some uncultivated lands.
The farmers probably fled during the war.
Now we can benefit from that.
But we don't need that many of them.
We only lived on berries for the past few days.
I'm already getting so skinny from starvation.
Since there are so many yams here it is only right that I dug up more.
You only thought of yourself and not the others.
What if there are other people who are hungry and need these yams for food?
I know you have a heart of gold.
But I'm different from you. I just want to be fed.
Let's bake these yams together?
I've got some ashes in my eyes.
Let me take a look.
- Is it better? - It's fine now.
Why are there fewer sweet yams?
- Really? - I just put five in.
Le Er, let's take a look over there.
What's there to see?
The scenery here is great.
It's a waste not to take a look around.
Just come and keep me company.
How dare you! You're a little thief!
You dare steal from me? I'll teach you a lesson!
- Xi Bing, forget about it! - Stop right there!
It's only a few sweet yams!
Stop right there! Get back here!
Stop!
Where do you think you're going?
Let go of me! I'll take my pants off if you don't!
You're taking your pants off? Great, I can't wait.
Let go of me!
Apart from marrying you, I will do anything you tell me to, all right?
You're just a kid! Who are you to say anything?
Will you be able to find a wife like me?
- Let... Let go of me! - Get back here!
What's going on out here?
What happened?
- He's stolen my sweet yams. - I didn't!
You didn't? He still has half of it in his hand.
I don't!
Master Kou said we are not to steal from the people.
- This is a deliberate violation. Guards! - Yes!
Take him away to be killed.
- Come with us! Hurry! - No!
- Killed? It's all right. I won't press charges. - Please spare my life!
- It's the law, not you. Leave now. - Sire!
Zi Shu!
I am deeply grateful for the grace the Warlord bestowed upon me.
Master Yun, please inform the Warlord my men and I are all subordinates of His Grace.
- We will be forever at his service. - Master Kou, you are too humble.
The sworn brotherhood between you and the Warlord is greater than that of
a superior and his subordinate.
We will look forward to having you in Lin Yang to discuss the national affairs.
I will.
Once my men are well-disciplined, I will pay my respects in Lin Yang.
By the way, I was to inquire about a person.
- This person... - Master Kou!
Look who's here!
Le Er! How could this be?
You've taken me by surprise!
Hai Tian, we will catch up later.
- I have a favor to ask of you. - What is it?
This child was so hungry he stole sweet yams from us.
Zi Shu said you sentence people who steal from others to death.
But this child was starving.
Moreover, the sweet yams were dug up by us.
So I hope you can give him a chance and spare his life.
Of course not! If we make an exception how can we lead the army?
I know. That crossed my mind as well.
Why don't you consider giving all soldiers under fifteen years old one chance?
Our bodies were given by our parents so you can punish them by shaving them bald.
On one hand, it will serve as a warning to others that they can't make the same mistake.
On the other hand, it also warns the teens that they will be killed for making the same mistake.
Is that all right?
Sure, that is it then.
I'm not convinced! Why should a woman have a say here?
Because she is married to Master Kou.
All right! I have already decided.
This discussion is over.
Why don't you take a rest? I'll meet you later.
- Take Le Er to her tent. - Yes.
Who were you going to ask me about?
No one. I must have remembered incorrectly.
By the way, I have brought food supplies and the rewards with me.
Since Master Kou has family members here for a visit, I will leave.
Farewell.
Warlord, these are all gifts from the Emperor Zeng.
These are meant to congratulate you on your success and unification of the states.
This is very kind of him.
Mister Su, please thank Emperor Zeng on my behalf.
I will!
Mister Su was a close friend of my deceased uncle
and a man he greatly admired.
I was too young and immature then.
I've always regretted I didn't heed the advice of Mister Su.
I hope Mister Su can stay for a few more days.
Please assist me to reign this empire along with Mister Qian.
I'm very grateful for the Warlord's trust in me.
I will give it my all to offer my services.
Yun Kuang!
Where are your manners?
The Warlord is having a meeting now. How can you interrupt?
Please don't be angry, Mister Qian.
I told him to alert me of any news the minute he gets it.
Yun Kuang.
Have you heard them correctly?
Zhang Ji!
Yun Kuang!
Yun Qi, what did you say to him?
I...
Greetings to the Warlord!
- Gather all the armed forces! - Yes!
Warlord, may I ask why you are gathering the armed forces?
I'm going to kill Hai Tian.
This... This must not be done, Warlord.
You have just rewarded Hai Tian and his army.
And now you plan to attack them suddenly.
The people will not approve of your actions.
I have taken over the world and I will kill who I will! No one can have a word!
Warlord, the armed forces are summoned and ready to carry out your orders!
Warlord!
Please reconsider your actions.
Please revoke the command.
Get out of my way.
Please revoke the command.
Do you think I won't kill you?
If you are a fatuous emperor, I will just consider myself dumb
and deserving of death for serving the wrong master.
- Zhang Ji! Execute Xiao Hui on the spot! - Yes!
Hold your horses!
You can't leave! The whole nation is not yet settled and feudal kings are eyeing us.
You can't throw away the prestige of your army and Xue State for the sake of a woman!
I was the one who made us prestigious.
As long as I am still alive, we will not lose our prestige!
Yun Kuang! If you insist on going, trample over my body first!
- My Lord! - Mister Qian, why did you...
My Lord, please don't be anxious and hear me out.
You don't have to go to war with Hai Tian in order to kill him.
- We can try a plan that satisfies both claims. - Such as?
Please allow me some time to think it through.
I never would have thought you are such a tough guy with that refined look of yours.
Aren't you afraid the Warlord will kill you because of this incident?
I offered my services to him because I want to assist him in his achievements.
If I allow him to do as he wishes, I 'll become nothing but a servant.
I don't want to be a servant.
Good. What a strong-willed man you are.
I admire young men like you.
Mister Su, there are some words I have longed to say for a while.
- Could I ask you a question? - Go ahead.
People say the Warlord is loyal to friends.
He is a true man.
That was why I came from afar to offer my services to him.
I think I was too hasty to decide.
I know what the Warlord is like.
He's like a wild horse who broke loose of reins.
If he wishes to be a mighty emperor, he will need us to assist and change him.
If he can't be changed, our only choice is to choose the better master to serve.
Does Mister Su have the same idea as I do?
However, no one is perfect.
It will take time for a person to change.
Let's give him a bit more time.
This means I now belong to Yun Kuang.
Le Er, didn't you say you belong to me?
Then why did you marry him?
Kill!
Why won't you answer me?
Yun Kuang.
Yun Kuang, are you all right?
Don't leave me.
Don't leave me...
I won't leave you
as long as you don't drive me away.
I love you.
Le Er, don't leave me.
No! I'm not Lu Le!
Why do you only think of her?
Le Er, I never should have left you behind and went on the battlefields alone.
The empire is nothing compared to you.
The empire means nothing to me...
I need you, Le Er.
I didn't know you loved her so deeply.
Just like the way I love you.
Is this what I wished for?
Is this what I craved?
He was thinking about another woman when he had me in his arms.
What am I to him?
- Why is it you? - Why not?
Who did you take me for?
Warlord!
He's so frightened of thunder and still, he left to avoid seeing me.
The truth is, he fears me more than thunder.
What's the matter? It's very cold outdoors.
Why is he lying out here?
The tent is already packed.
We don't have any new tents.
Master Kou said to keep those with milder injuries out here.
He's lost so much blood.
Yet, he has to lie out here. That's so pitiful.
We have no other choice. All the Sires, including Master Kou, gave up their tents.
But we still don't have enough room for them.
Let me do it.
Le Er, isn't this baldie cute?
You're lucky this time but make sure you don't break the law again.
- Or I can't save you. - Yes, My Lady.
I'm not the Mistress. Just call me Le Er.
But everyone regards you as the Mistress.
It was just a joke.
Le Er, look.
I think Hai Tian is pretty nice.
He is also very devoted to you.
Why don't you just stay with him?
Forget about Yun Kuang.
What are you talking about?
There are still many injured men, so I'd better go and help out.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
You're up so early. Are you ready to leave?
- Ready to leave? - I thought you are eager to meet the Warlord.
He's right there in the city so I can see him anytime I want.
For the moment, I'd like to stay here.
There are so many injured men freezing out here in the cold.
I'd like to stay to look after them.
I feel very bad about that as well.
I thought I could send them home once this war was over.
These men out here are all right.
Those in the tents are far worse.
I'd like to take a look at them.
- Master Kou... - Don't get up. Lie still.
Master Kou.
How are you? Are you feeling better?
I feel better when I see you.
Look! You've coughed all over Master Kou.
I've told you some many times to cover your mouth when you cough.
All right. Enough said.
They are already so badly injured.
- I'm all right. - Let me do it.
What is his condition now?
Is there nothing you can do?
He is still so young.
Master Kou...
Let me know what I can do to help.
I'll do my very best.
Now that the war is over, could we go home?
That is great. I've been away for so long.
I miss my parents.
I dreamed of them last night.
They told me in the dream they will get me a wife when I come home.
I really want to go home.
It's cruel, isn't it?
This is war.
I don't like it either.
But this is the price we have to pay to get a chance to have a good life.
I understand.
Throughout my journey, I heard people say
you are just with your punishments and kind to the people.
What good can those comments do?
I still can't prevent my men from getting hurt or killed.
Le Er, do not believe the saying that one doesn't fear death after seeing it.
My personal experience tells me the more you see death, the more you fear it.
If you can't stand it, then don't force yourself.
I'm not forcing myself to do anything.
I can't fight but I'd like to help you out.
- I'll feel better this way. - All right. I'll let them assist you.
But Le Er, you must remember not to shed a tear in front of them
no matter how sad you are.
You have to learn to be tough.
If you are tough, then they have the confidence they will recover.
Do you understand?
Here, dry your tears.
Could you please write a letter to my parents for me?
Sure.
Father and Mother forgive me for being unfilial.
I have failed to look after the both of you.
But please do not worry about me.
The war is already over.
I was rewarded a position in Handan.
I lead a very nice life over there.
I'm afraid I won't be able to visit you as it is very far away from home...
But please believe in me when I say I am always with you.
I will write a letter home every month.
I hope you will take care of yourselves and don't get too tired.
I will visit you when I can.
With love, your unfilial son, A Mao.
