Sword Dynasty
Episode 1
Sir,
take me out of here.
OK.
Is it because of the water level
that today's route
seems to be different?
Yes, it is different.
But not because of the water level.
Song Shenshu,
aren't officials prohibited to enter the fish market?
You know me?
What do you want?
You were at the palace hall ten years ago, right?
I'm just one of your creditors
who's asking for payment of a debt you incurred ten years ago.
I'm going to enter the fourth realm.
Over-confident kid,
you are just courting your own ruin!
Are you scared?
You've mastered the Nine-death Silkworm?
How does it taste to betray your master
for promotion?
If I tell you
something more important than my life,
can you let me go?
Say it!
Lin Zhujiu,
Lin Zhujiu of the Bashan Sword Field is still alive!
What did you say?
He's imprisoned
in a cell in the deepest part of Dafu Water Dungeon.
The King of Heng wants
to get some secrets for practice from him,
so he still keeps him alive.
Everybody believes that he's dead,
including Chancellor Li.
Are you satisfied now?
Great,
and now you can go to hell.
You've paid off the debt you owed to That Man,
but you can never pay off the debt
for all the lost lives of the Bashan Sword Field!
How dare you besiege the King of Heng!
I'll kill you all!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty,
the King of Heng has fallen from the horse with injury!
Kill the King of Heng!
Destroy Heng!
Go!
The Bashan Sword Field, coming for rescue!
I thought
I would lose in Yangming today.
As long as I'm alive,
you won't lose.
Those who follow Heng will succeed!
Long live the great Kingdom of Heng!
There are numerous wars among the four kingdoms.
When will it come to an end?
Now that the Kingdom of Lie has been destroyed,
with the assistance of the Bashan Sword Field,
the three kingdoms left will be destroyed
in no more than ten years.
At that time,
Your Majesty will create
an unprecedented empire of your own,
the Empire of Heng!
A peaceful empire
with happy people.
You also
deserve a share of the empire.
I only need the Bashan Sword Field
and Ye Zhen;
that's enough.
What an exciting victory!
Yes.
We've saved His Majesty the King
and destroyed
Lie for Heng.
Why do I always
feel something unusual today?
His Majesty calls the disciples of the Bashan Sword Field to get rewarded in the palace.
Get rewarded!
-Let's go and get the reward! -Go!
Go!
Come on!
Guys,
let's propose a toast to Mr. Liang,
the chief of the Bashan Sword Field!
If you hadn't come,
Heng might have lost to Lie!
Come on, cheers!
Cheers, cheers!
Come on, come on!
Jingmeng,
I'll also propose a toast to you.
Now everybody knows Liang Jingmeng.
No Liang Jingmeng,
no Kingdom of Heng!
No Kingdom of Heng,
no King of Heng.
The sovereignty has been gained by Liang Jingmeng
and the disciples of the Bashan Sword Field.
So, of course,
I should propose a toast to you!
We're flattered, Your Majesty.
Without Your Majesty,
there would not be such a powerful Heng
and Liang Jingmeng of the Bashan Sword Field.
Let us propose a toast to Your Majesty!
Jingmeng.
Long live His Majesty the King!
Long live the great Kingdom of Heng!
Ye Zhen!
Only after you die
can the disciples of the Bashan Sword Field live.
Liang Jingmeng,
do you know your crime
of being highly disrespectful to His Majesty the King?
The wine is poisonous!
Protect His Majesty!
Over my dead body!
I said
I would never hurt you!
But why…
The Nine-death Silkworm Art?
Go!
Release it.
Hurry!
Mr. Liang!
Liang Jingmeng intended to assassinate His Majesty,
and has been killed!
For disciples of the Bashan Sword Field,
promote those
who submit to His Majesty,
and kill those
who don't!
Yuan Wu, Ye Zhen,
and all those who have betrayed Bashan,
you must pay for what you've done with your own blood!
You're the chief of the field.
Although it's been many years since you fell,
your name
is still in the hearts of the people.
They just don't dare to mention you.
And the name Liang Jingmeng
can only be replaced by "That Man".
The Gongsun family
was exterminated because of the relationship with you.
I had to hide in Fengming
in the name of Zhangsun Qianxue.
But what can replace
my love and hatred for you?
It must be Ding Ning again.
When we're hiding in Fengming,
remember not to alert the enemies.
To kill the King of Heng,
the Eleven Marquises are the greatest obstacle.
And even Marquis Dugu at the lowest level of practice
is an unbeatable enemy for us now.
So we can't act rashly
before I reach the seventh realm.
We've been waiting for ten years,
and we should not rush to demand payment
for the old debts to Bashan.
You've had a plan,
so you should get the vital part.
Liangcenglou depends on Marquis Dugu.
If he dies,
the royal court and the martial art world will surely act accordingly.
Then
we can just effortlessly reap the spoils.
Who are those people passing by?
Officials of the Jiantian Bureau.
It is learned that Her Majesty the Queen has ordered Director Ye back.
Fengming, which has been in peace for ten years,
might see storms again.
Order from His Majesty the King!
Zhao Zhan, the rebel of Lie has shown up.
I herewith order Ye Celeng, Director of the Jiantian Bureau,
to return to Fengming immediately
and capture him.
The Jiantian Bureau warmly welcome Director Ye.
Considering your hard journey, Her Majesty the Queen
has ordered us to receive you here.
Greetings, Master Zhao Qi.
I don't deserve to be called Master.
I'm just a piece of duckweed from a lost kingdom.
Come in, please.
No, thanks.
Then please wait a minute.
I've also lit a lamp for your master.
Now I've seen you, Director Ye.
You've deeply impressed me
and you seem to be inharmonious with Fengming.
Shut up!
Zhao Zhan, a remnant of the Sword Sect.
In the face of Director Ye,
how dare you
say those abrupt words
instead of folding your hands for capture!
Zhao Zhan, the seventh disciple of the Sword Sect,
asks to try the power of Director Ye's Autumn Water Sword.
What's up?
Your Excellency, a girl is standing in the way.
Kill her.
Yes!
Sorry,
and good-bye!
Give him a decent burial.
Yes.
Every several years,
there will be several more masters that have reached the seventh realm.
However, there's still no one who can advance to the eighth realm,
let alone the supreme ninth realm.
The King of Heng has been practicing in seclusion.
And the state affairs have been handed over to the Queen Ye Zhen.
Your Majesty,
since Director Ye
can kill Zhao Zhan on her own,
she should have at least entered
the medium grade of the seventh realm.
But I just don't understand one thing.
In today's Fengming,
there should be someone else
who can kill Zhao Zhan single-handed,
so why did you
specially summon Director Ye, who was practicing overseas,
back?
You should know that
this city
is the only capital under heaven
that has no outer city walls.
Why are there no outer city walls?
Because the swords
in the hands of the people of Heng
are just the city walls.
I had two reasons
to summon Director Ye back.
First,
if Director Ye can kill Zhao Zhan with her sword,
it will be the loudest thunderclap in the autumn.
And the intangible city walls of Fengming
can be further thickened, right?
Second,
Director Ye has been practicing overseas for years.
Many people have considered her to have been exiled.
My summoning her back to kill the rebel
is just a proof
that the relationship between her and His Majesty
has been close.
And then the rumor can be crushed.
His Majesty has been trusting
you and Director Ye,
so you should work together
to remove all obstacles for Heng.
Yes, Your Majesty!
So beautiful!
Sir,
I need some oil.
Aunt!
Can't you clean your shoes in the outside
instead of smearing the doorsill with mud?
Because you don't want to do business seriously.
You've even randomly skipped several steps
of the complicated wine-making procedure,
so why bother to care about a little mud on the doorsill?
If I had known that so many idlers would come
to a tavern in this place,
I wouldn't have followed your advice.
Moreover, the mud problem
is about personal feelings,
and has nothing to do with business.
I can apologize to you
for your personal feelings.
But as for the problem of idlers
caused by the prosperity of the tavern,
it has nothing to do with me.
It's just because you're so beautiful!
In addition,
running a tavern
is far better than your original plan
of hiding in some disreputable quarters
to get some information.
Have you ever heard of
any women of good families
proposing to stay in those quarters?
Unless they are born sluts.
But isn't it unusual that
a born slut only makes a living by performing
instead of prostitution?
Do you think people in the Shendu Bureau and the Jiantian Bureau
are idiots?
Zhao Zhan is dead.
Ye Celeng did it.
On her own?
But she was also injured.
How did you know it?
Although I don't know the severity,
I know she's surely injured.
Ye Celeng originally practiced at the Bashan Sword Field,
majoring in the Water-departing Magic Art.
In such a stormy weather,
she can surely be much powerful that in usual times.
Although she killed Zhao Zhan single-handed,
she was still injured.
So I doubt that her level of practice
should be similar with that of Zhao Zhan.
You mean the medium grade of the seventh realm.
Go get a shower,
and wait for me in bed.
I'm closing the doors.
Now?
Isn't it too early?
We haven't got enough time,
so we need to hurry up.
Why is her True Vitality
so unsteady?
The legendary Gushan Sword Manual
should be true.
And most of the clues
may be in the hands of
Bai Shanshui of the Yunshui Palace.
You mean that
as long as I can find Bai Shanshui,
I can get the Gushan Sword Manual?
Dry weather, watch out to prevent fire!
She must have fought with someone
that has made her invaded by chill.
