Sword Dynasty
Episode 5
Miss Gongsun.
I didn't expect that
I could meet you here in my life.
People come here
only to ask about shady secrets.
For people with a high social status like you showing up here,
I bet you want to ask
something that is very important to you.
Is Bai Shanshui
making a deal with you on the Gushan Sword Manual?
So you
are also interested in the Gushan Sword Manual?
I wonder
what you need it for.
I know rules of the fish market.
I can refuse
to answer your question.
Over the past decade,
we've been living
a dark life.
10 years ago, the Gongsun family was a victim,
so was my family.
Nowadays the Kingdom of Heng
has been different from 10 years ago.
With the Gushan Sword Manual,
you want to overthrow today's Kingdom of Heng
or eliminate
the only remaining swords of the Bashan Sword Field?
After all,
the collapse of the Gongsun family
had something to do with That Man.
Regardless of whom I want to take revenge on,
don't sell the information to Bai Shanshui.
I think you may have a misunderstanding.
We do business in the fish market.
But in a business, aside from the buyer and the seller,
there is also an intermediary.
Bai Shanshui, instead of me,
grasps the information about the Gushan Sword Manual.
But she doesn't want to sell it to me.
General.
That young man has joined Baiyang Cave,
but every night he goes back to Wutongluo.
Kill him in Wutongluo.
What's wrong?
I guess last time they didn't fix the axle well,
and as we've been traveling quickly,
it breaks down again.
It's so late.
Can we find some place to fix it?
I think not.
But tomorrow I can fix it.
I'd like to get off here.
OK.
As you expected,
Liang Lian plans to eliminate Liangcenglou.
If he really carries it out,
it proves what I guessed.
The one behind Jinlintang
is Liang Lian.
I'm really a little weak recently.
Where can you go?
How fierce!
If I hadn't witnessed it personally,
I wouldn't believe
that someone that has just practiced
for less than a month did this.
Who are you?
I came just to kill you.
You'd better quit.
If you go on resisting,
you'll die a more miserable death.
Are you all right?
I won't die.
Take it.
Why did you come here?
I just checked the carriage, and found that it was damaged by someone.
So I was sure that you must be in danger.
Then I came.
Thank you for saving my life.
I owe you my life.
Buddy, you're welcome.
Let me have a look at...
Don't.
Before people of the Shendu Bureau and the Jiantian Bureau come,
try to leave everything as it is here.
They even sent so many people
to kill a small potato like me.
It must be very hard to find the mastermind behind it.
Tell Wang Taixu,
if no accident
occurs in other places,
don't let people of Liangcenglou
get involved
in what happened here tonight.
Don't let others know
that you were involved in this tonight, either.
OK.
Where are you going?
Going back home.
General,
he fled.
What?
In three days,
Wang Taixu must be killed.
If not,
you should know what to do.
Yes.
Don't look at me this way.
I worry that next time I'll have to bring your corpse back.
I know that
you don't want me to die.
Stop it.
I made great efforts to walk back.
Could you please treat me well?
You finally came back.
If you had come back earlier,
I could have...
I want the Gushan Sword Manual
indeed because of the King of Heng.
Our goals are the same.
We are in the same team.
Since your goal is also him,
why haven't I heard about
any news on you doing anything to him?
My level of practice isn't high enough.
It's not convincing to me.
What do you want me to do
so that you can give it to me?
Unless
you prove to me with what you do
that you don't work for the King of Heng.
You could have...
You joined Baiyang Cave several days ago,
but now you are in this trouble.
Today what made me feel strange
was that the masked practitioner
pretended to be a killer that killed people for money
by saying those words in the beginning.
But I'm quite sure
that he was a practitioner from the army.
He absolutely had the ability to kill me and Zhou Sanxing,
and he wasn't afraid of death.
But
from the beginning, he didn't want to get wounded,
acted restrainedly, and was in a rush to escape.
If not for
these reasons,
we couldn't have
killed him so easily.
Only some people with special identities
would act like him.
So I guess he and his boss
should be
from the army of the Kingdom of Heng.
If it
has something to do with the person that supports Jinlintang,
now I'm more worried about
Wang Taixu.
Why did you sneakily attack me?
If I hadn't distracted your attention,
you might have shrilled so loudly that people living next door could have heard it.
OK.
You ribs have been put back in place.
You are being so nice to me.
It hurts a lot, Aunt.
How is Ding Ning?
His life was saved,
but both of us got wounded.
He was much more seriously wounded
than me.
His life was saved, good.
Boss.
We suffered
so many casualties overnight.
Our bases were also sneakily attacked.
What should we do next?
Tell them to scatter, hide,
and not to show up.
I'm leaving tomorrow.
Wangxu.
Ding Ning was nearly killed
last night.
Wang Taixu sent someone to bring this message to us.
Among the assassins,
the leading one was
a practitioner that has reached the True Vitality Realm.
Two of Ding Ning's ribs got broken,
and some other parts of his body were also wounded.
But
he was good.
Together with Zhou Sanxing,
who has only reached the Qi-refining Realm,
he killed that practitioner that has reached the True Vitality Realm.
Great.
This is
real glory to Baiyang Cave.
Wangxu,
is this glory?
Over these years,
I haven't been so happy
or proud for anything.
I've finally got a disciple that got to know the truth of mystery in half a day
and might even achieve qi refining in one month,
but last night he was nearly killed.
No.
I must go out,
or
others would think I'm already dead.
The carriage of Baiyang Cave
is already waiting outside.
Aunt.
We face a special situation today,
so I have to hurry back to Baiyang Cave,
and I can't cook porridge for you.
I've cooked porridge.
If you dare to get in trouble ever again,
don't come back anymore.
Thank you.
I'll remember it.
Actually I'm not very hungry.
See you.
It's really not well cooked.
Buddy,
how are you?
Fine.
OK.
Buddy, get in.
You are so seriously wounded.
It seems your trouble is no better than mine.
Really bad.
All of my buddies that had fought alongside me
and could have been able to manage Liangcenglou
after I die
were killed
last night.
Only you and I survived.
So
the person in the army behind Jinlintang
doesn't want to quit.
As long as we get through these days,
I'll make him
pay for it.
I think we have to travel more quickly than usual today.
Please be quick.
Yes.
Get away!
Director Ye.
The Tiger and Wolf Army.
I knew it's Liang Lian.
So many people are investigating here.
Does it have anything to do with what happened last night?
If they are really related to
the high-ranking person in the army,
maybe they'll try to kill you.
Stop.
It seems not like
the routine check by the Fengming Internal Guards.
It's much likely that I may die here today.
In a while if I fight them,
don't go out.
I may not take your corpse back.
But I will try to take revenge for you.
What are you doing?
This is a carriage of Baiyang Cave.
The carriage of Baiyang Cave
should also receive the routine check.
This is a document issued by the Shendu Bureau
to make sure that we can move on,
if anything happens.
The document
is invalid.
Invalid?
Why is that?
Because I'm Duan Zhiqiu,
Chief of the Gate Guardsmen
with a fief of over 100 households.
I think
you don't have the right to refuse me.
I can recognize the way he looks.
The assassin last night was him.
So it's hard to deal with
the person in the army behind Jinlintang.
People in the carriage,
come out.
Last night I fought him,
and he has reached the fifth realm.
Definitely he's highly skilled in the army.
Now I'm seriously wounded,
and I think I can't get out of the encirclement.
You need to get prepared.
I wonder
who dares to cause trouble to people of Baiyang Cave.
You must be Xue Wangxu,
the head of Baiyang Cave.
Despite that,
you have no right to interfere in the check.
Did you just get back to Fengming?
Baiyang Cave has been affiliated to Qingteng Sword School.
Don't you know that?
Master, you are right.
I think he just came from other places.
Sir,
Baiyang Cave is now affiliated to Qingteng Sword School.
You want to investigate Baiyang Cave.
Is it because you are not satisfied with
Her Majesty's order?
How dare you mention Her Majesty in vain?
Let me see
what strength you have
to do that.
Master.
It's...
It's the Mountain-moving Realm.
Your Majesty, it's the Mountain-moving Realm.
There are so many masters in Heng.
Everyone under heaven being under His Majesty's rule
can be expected soon.
Master, how are you?
Come on.
Sir.
How is it?
How are you?
A little weak.
Master.
How are you?
At this advanced age, I don't rely on my physical strength.
Go back to Baiyang Cave.
Master.
I have a question.
There are so many hills around Baiyang Cave,
but why did you choose to move
that one in Qingteng Sword School?
After all, we've merged.
No need to think about it too much.
Mr. Di won't mind it.
No wonder the old fox Xue Wangxu
dared to refuse to turn in the spirit vein
and go against Her Majesty's will.
It turns out he has reached the seventh realm.
He intentionally drew
the primordial qi of the heaven and the earth
from Qingteng Sword School
before the Sword Sacrifice Trial,
and he did this to display his strength to us.
Thank you for saving my life.
You're welcome,
but you should
thank him.
If he hadn't managed to know the truth of mystery in half a day,
and brought
glory to Baiyang Cave,
I wouldn't have come out.
You did a good job today.
I'm very happy about it.
Thank you for being happy about it.
This time
you seem to be seriously wounded.
Only several days are left
before the Sword Sacrifice Trial.
Are you worrying that I can't get the spirit vein back?
I have great confidence in you.
You know what you should do.
You are closely related
to Baiyang Cave.
I allow you to stay in the mountain behind
for several days.
Thank you for letting me stay.
Ding Ning.
You are really an awesome freak.
The two notebooks are useful?
I think I can reach the third realm soon.
It's good that they are helpful to you.
That day you spoke for me
at the mountain entrance.
So now I don't owe you anymore.
Of course not.
I just spoke several words for you there,
but how can it be comparable with this?
In terms of practice,
you helped me
save seven years,
or even more than seven years.
Maybe you think that you are a disciple of Baiyang Cave,
while I'm of Qingteng Sword School,
so we should stay away from each other.
Regardless of that,
and even if you don't take me as a friend,
I must say thank you.
You told me about your health problem,
and I know that you have to
improve yourself much more quickly than others.
If you want
medicine that can increase your speed of practice,
just tell me.
If you really want to help me,
don't tell anyone else
that I picked those two notebooks for you,
including your father
and master.
Why?
Quick progress in practice
may cause
a lot of trouble.
And if others know a person that makes quick progress in practice
has a strong comprehension ability
and correct instincts of
books on practice,
more trouble will occur.
You know that I don't have much time.
I don't have time to be used by others.
I need to
spend all of my time
practicing.
OK.
I promise you that.
I swear
that I won't tell it to anyone else.
I, Liang Lian,
pay respects to Your Majesty.
I warned you
not to do things
in such a simple and crude way in town
if you wanted to get Liangcenglou.
You really disappointed me.
That
was just an accident.
It wasn't an accident,
but your choice.
If you hadn't wanted to kill
even a tavern boy working for Wang Taixu,
Xue Wangxu wouldn't have showed up.
Think about it.
If Xue Wangxu weren't capable,
he would have disappeared in Fengming long ago.
Why did I bother to incorporate Baiyang Cave
into Qingteng Sword School?
You wanted to eradicate all of them,
and that's why you failed.
But I think
I have to eradicate all of them indeed.
You only care about your own matters,
but you should remember
that all practitioners in Fengming
are precious to Heng.
When they die,
they die on the battleground,
rather than because of your conspiracy.
This time you came here to be granted with the title of a marquis,
but you know,
there are also other candidates.
Your mistake
would be made use of by many people.
I admit my mistake.
I'm willing to atone for it.
As for the title of a marquis,
Your Majesty,
please help me.
You still have a chance.
But first of all,
you have to prove your innocence.
Innocence?
I don't know how much
you know about what's going on in Fengming.
It's suspected that Marquis Dugu and Song Shenshu
were both killed by a disciple of That Man.
You used to be his driver,
and was so close to him.
So unavoidably you are suspicious.
But Your Majesty knows
that it's definitely not me.
Now
Ye Celeng is investigating this case.
She already suspects you.
Here is my advice for you.
Rather than defend yourself,
you'd better prove your innocence with what you do,
or
those mistakes you made
would block you on your way to becoming a marquis.
Now leave.
Thank you for the reminding.
I'm leaving.
General, why are you unhappy?
I'll find out
who the tavern boy
actually is.
Ye Celeng.
What are you doing?
I just got out of the palace,
and I have nothing to do with the case you are investigating.
Are you out of your mind?!
In the broad daylight,
General and Director Ye, I think it's inappropriate for you
to fight in front of the public.
I suspect that Mr. Liang is a murderer,
so I fought and tested him.
I just got back to Fengming.
I wonder which homicide case under Director Ye's charge
I was involved in.
Song Shenshu and Marquis Dugu
were both killed by That Man's martial arts.
I'm not sure
which case Mr. Liang was involved in,
or if you were
involved in both cases.
You and I both worked for him.
Isn't it imprudent to judge
that anyone that has grasped the martial arts is suspicious?
Moreover,
as we all know,
no one learned the Nine-death Silkworm from him.
If you want to say that I've grasped Moshi Swordsmanship,
well then, Director Ye,
you are also suspicious because of this.
Mr. Liang,
have you
grasped it or not?
All right.
Stop fighting.
We all work for Heng.
Do you want
the people to laugh at you
as you suspect and fight each other?
I'm not like him.
Director Ye, do you mean that
you are not loyal to Heng?
I'm loyal to Heng,
but you just want the title of a marquis.
That day, the seven corpses in Wutongluo
were your people, weren't they?
Does the Jiantian Bureau also
interfere in fights in the martial art world?
Besides,
this has nothing to do with the case involving That Man's disciple.
Really?
If some official participates in
fights in the martial art world,
the Shendu Bureau
will also investigate it.
Good.
I suggest
the Shendu Bureau and the Jiantian Bureau work together
to find out
the truth of this case.
Today you acted too rashly
fighting him.
It won't bring you anything good by taking revenge in the name of investigation.
It's not taking revenge.
Liang Lian
is suspicious indeed.
Whether he is suspicious or not,
you know it very clearly.
Did you do it for the case,
or for That Man?
Congratulations, Your Majesty,
on advancing to the eighth realm--the Heaven-opening Realm.
Long live His Majesty the King!
Long live the great Kingdom of Heng!
Long live His Majesty the King!
Long live the great Kingdom of Heng!
Congratulations, Your Majesty, on finishing the practice.
Your Majesty
has become the first one who has advanced to the eighth realm.
Ye Zhen.
Can anyone really get to the ninth realm?
Can
anyone really
live forever?
