[Sword Dynasty]
[Episode 6]
Little Aunt, the Sword Trial Festival of Green Vine Sword School is about to start.
I won't be coming back.
The winner of this trial gets the green suet jade.
It is beneficial when you practice your life source sword. I will do my best!
Remember to eat the porridge. Don't worry.
Ye Celeng is openly provoking us.
What is worse is that Chen Xuan intervened.
General, please appease your anger.
I think Chen Xuan appeared at the right time.
General, you dealing against Two-Story Tower is already an abuse of power for a personal grudge.
The queen has become unhappy with you.
If you have an encounter with Chief Ye again,
I'm afraid the queen will be more irritated.
General, have you ever thought about why the queen summoned you back? [Qi Pomo: military advisor of Tiger-Wolf Army]
Of course, it is not just about the marquis title conferment. [Liang Lian: commander-in-chief of Tiger-Wolf Army]
The situation is complicated in Fengming. The king summoned Chief Ye back.
The queen then summoned you back to hold her back.
The royal court needs you and Chief Ye, two swords that have weight.
However, the royal court does not allow its swords to be too sharp.
If the queen has dissatisfaction toward me,
the king probably doesn't trust Chief Ye completely, either.
Speaking of background,
we both are connected to that person.
General, your judgment is wise. The more than it is unnecessary for you to quarrel with Chief Ye.
If Chief Ye falls into the royal court strife ahead of you,
once the balance of power is disrupted, you will be at a disadvantage.
Must I then just allow Ye Celeng to provoke me like this?
Your own strength is your foundation in Fengming.
If you can achieve honors for the kingdom, even if you are not conferred a noble title,
you can also dominate a territory outside the walls.
I've heard that Bai Shanshui of Cloud Water Palace
will appear around Lion Alley today.
The royal court has been seeking the location of the Lone Mountain Sword Trove.
General, you can start with that. If you can find it,
the noble title is in the bag.
Good.
We will start with Lone Mountain Sword Trove.
You said Bai Shanshui is appearing around Lion Alley?
I haven't heard specifically about Bai Shanshui appearing,
but I have found traces of people from Cloud Water Palace. [Bai Gongfeng: Bureau of Heavenly Supervision]
General Liang has sent scouts to stakeout the area.
Liang Lian is in a hurry to achieve merits.
Lone Mountain Sword Trove is truly a treasure.
Send this news out to Ye Celeng.
Let them both investigate. Make sure we obtain it.
Yes, Your Majesty!
The news about Lone Mountain Sword Trove has spread around for a long time.
Why send both teams out?
My King, you want to own the world. Isn't it good to have an extra tool in hand?
Furthermore, the three kingdoms, Xian, Mo, and Li, are all eyeing the treasure.
Is My King willing to let them have it?
Of course not.
But you summoned Liang Lian back to investigate the case.
I don't understand it.
During your seclusion, there have been two deaths.
One is Song Shenshu from the Library of Classics and Historical Records.
The other is Marquis Dugu.
So, you are planning to let Liang Lian fill in Marquis Dugu's position?
Minister Li and I have indeed made a list of candidates.
Based on military merits, Liang Lian can certainly fit the role. However, Your Majesty,
those two deaths that I mentioned died of that person's martial technique.
He appears to have a descendant.
I'm now in the Eighth Realm.
Even if he comes back in person, so what?
Cloud Water Palace's people are appearing in Lion Alley.
Recently, Liang Lian's people have been scouting that place.
The queen is dissatisfied with General Liang's previous action.
He is desperately looking for more merits to achieve.
Since there are more than one team moving around Lion Alley,
presumably, Cloud Water Palace has been seen there.
I've long heard about the notion that Cloud Water Palace knows where Lone Mountain Sword Trove is.
There is no proof that this rumor is real. Even if it is,
Lian Lian investigating this cannot be as simple as earning merits.
General, do you mean...?
It is believed that Lone Mountain Sword Trove's potential power can overthrow a dynasty.
Once Lone Mountain Sword Trove is revealed, chaos will ensure in the world.
Liang Lian has many choices to redeem his wrongdoing.
But he decided to choose this one.
Who's to know if he has an ulterior motive
to get the sword treasure.
Chief, you mean Liang Lian has a treacherous motive in seeking the Lone Mountain Sword Trove?
Liang Lian is ambitious. He is not trustworthy.
Will we continue to investigate about Cloud Water Palace's people appearing at Lion Alley?
Keep a tight watch on Liang Lian.
Yes, Chief.
Look, it is not expensive.
That man from Cloud Water Palace
always goes to lunch across the street at this time every day.
I have arranged a stakeout. General, you need only to wait quietly.
Buns! [Fan Zhuo: Cloud Water Palace]
Hey!
Customer, what would you like to eat?
Four taels of noodles and one pot of wine.
All right, just a moment. Coming right up.
General, he has appeared.
Hey! Come and eat some buns!
He isn't important. If Bai Shanshui doesn't appear,
we won't move.
Yes, General.
Customer, your wine.
Hey! Come and eat buns!
- Come take a look. - This box is not bad.
Take a look!
Fragrant buns!
Take a look!
Buns that are just out of the oven.
Fragrant buns!
Customer, your noodles.
Scram! Scram!
Everyone, move aside!
We have no personal disputes.
But you guys just won't let me off.
He is indeed from Cloud Water Palace.
Chief!
If Liang Lian does not move,
then we don't move.
Yes, Chief.
- Attack! - Draw your sword!
[Jiugangjun Club]
[Bai Shanshui: Cloud Water Palace]
She finally came.
Bai Shanshui.
- Quickly leave! - If I leave, what happens to you?
Don't worry about me! Quickly leave!
After him!
Ye Celeng?
- After them. - Yes, Chief.
- Follow them! - Yes, General!
Bai Shanshui!
General Liang, I wonder if the crime of letting a treacherous criminal escape
is enough to garner you the five highest forms of punishment.
Traitor Bai Shanshui,
you dare to spew nonsense even in the face of death. You are overestimating your abilities.
Is that so? I think you are the one facing the brink of death.
On the day of your execution,
I'll be sure to come to pay you a visit.
I've heard you have the clues to find Lone Mountain Sword Trove.
I traveled in foreign lands for many years, and have also heard related news.
Why don't you come to shore and we can find a safe place to talk?
Chief Ye is quite a strategist.
Too bad with all your prowess,
you've ended up being a dog of the Heng king.
You said it too seriously. From the start,
I am only being loyal to Great Heng.
Ye Celeng, don't tell me you are going to rebel?
She swims like a fish.
What you're doing is a waste of effort.
General!
You...
You're very smart.
But this is a place where strength does the talking.
General, you've arrived earlier than the appointed time.
Bai Shanshui escaped.
Now, he's the only one left.
I naturally must ensure all bases are covered.
General, don't kill him!
If Bai Shanshui has escaped, even if we arrest him,
you would still be criticized by the court.
Let him go and you will have more roads in the future.
What roads?
General, we climbed out of the pile of corpses in the frontier.
It was hard to finally reach our positions now. What we did in the past,
isn't it to control
our road under our own feet?
Please, General, think about it.
You mean, if I am not bestowed a noble title,
rather than working hard only to be criticized,
why not spend effort on myself?
Isn't that what you taught me?
Your words are right.
If I let him go, I would have another option.
Have you thought about who you're going to sell that to?
It doesn't matter who the buyer is.
What's important is that I'm happy with the current situation.
Liang Lian set Fan Zhuo free.
See? This situation...
is becoming more and more interesting.
How is muddling the water at Fengming benefiting you?
Why must I benefit?
Qian Kingdom has fallen.
It's hopeless to restore it.
But as long as the people at the highest level in Great Heng aren't happy,
then I am very happy.
Then, are you still doing this exchange? [Eldest Miss of the Shang Family]
Of course, I will.
Then give a price.
According to what I know, it's not just Fourth Master Zhao
who wants Lone Mountain Sword Trove.
So, you shouldn't ask me about the price.
You want the highest bidder.
You are a quick learner in business.
You are overly praising me.
In the Fish Market, trust is the basis for doing business.
Fourth Master Zhao earlier said you have enough bargaining chips in your hands.
Right now, I want to listen to it.
That day when I was paying memorial tribute to my junior brother,
I found the secrets about the Lone Mountain Trove that he found these past three years.
He once said that if he died one day,
I must go collect his remaining items.
In actuality, he wanted me to pick something up for him.
[Memorial Tablet of Zhao Zhan, the seventh disciple of Sword Furnace]
I believe it is the third clue to Lone Mountain Sword Trove.
Since your bargaining chip is quite substantial,
why don't you meet her face-to-face?
It's because I cannot ascertain where Bai Shanshui stands.
How did you know about Lone Mountain Sword Trove?
In the Great Floating Water Prison, there is a very important prisoner. For the past 10 years,
His Majesty has continuously questioned him about Lone Mountain Sword Trove.
Who is he?
That person is a member of the past Ba Mountain Sword Academy.
It's better if you do not know.
All the marquises have gathered here today.
It's usually rare to see such a grand scene. [Marquis Fang: leader of Great Heng's 11 Marquises]
Marquis Fang, you are in a high and authoritative position.
Please ask His Majesty to uphold justice.
There are many rumors about the descendant of that person.
Marquis Dugu has been dead for many days,
and he died of that person's sword technique.
It seems that the descendant of that person really exists,
and he is right here in Fengming.
Back then, we were the ones who proposed to kill that person.
We did it because it was for the sake of Great Heng
to eradicate a scheming traitor.
Now that he has a descendant returning, it is clear that he's here
- to kill us 11 Marquis. - Right...
Marquis Dugu is the first precedent.
An insignificant descendant is not worthy for all of you to panic about.
We pledged to serve Great Heng.
Now that we are stuck in a quagmire,
but the court has not captured the culprit yet.
How could I have a peaceful mind?
That's right.
Right.
How can we rest easy?
Eighth realm...
Congratulations, Your Majesty, for ascending to the Eighth Realm.
Long Live Your Majesty! Long Live Great Heng!
I'm aware of the incident regarding the descendant.
It's not to be feared.
Your Majesty is absolutely right.
Great Heng has been in peace for 10 years.
Now, Your Majesty has ascended into the Eighth Realm.
A mere descendant is definitely nothing to fear.
However, Your Majesty is strong, but the common folk are weak.
That person's descendant has killed Marquis Dugu,
directly pointing to the affairs in the past.
It cannot be helped for people to feel fear.
Today, Great Heng's 11 Marquis have gathered in the palace's great hall.
Is it really because you are concerned about the common folk?
Or is it for your own sake?
Back then, you all forced me to kill Liang Jingmeng.
Great Heng has been in peace for 10 years,
and you have also enjoyed 10 years of quiet life.
And now, with a mere descendant stirring,
you've immediately lost your calm and forgotten about rules.
Today, instead of saying it's for the country's benefit,
aren't you here to force me to submit?
- You misunderstood, Your Majesty! I dare not! - I dare not!
Everyone, get up.
Thank you, Your Majesty!
Is there anything else for today's agenda?
Your Majesty, I have a report.
General Liang and I were ordered to pursue and capture the traitor from Qian Kingdom, Bai Shanshui.
However, the traitor sneakily escaped.
I am asking for punishment.
Actually, the queen has already told me that.
Liang Lian led the ambush first.
Ye Celeng did the pursuit.
Together, you lost the traitor. Is that true?
Your Majesty,
that is truly how it happened.
Ye Celeng earned merit for pursuing. No punishment.
Liang Lian...
alarmed the traitor.
You are to be caned 80 times.
Come, come drink wine.
Oh right! Have you heard about Bai Shanshui making a scene in Fengming?
Of course.
In the morning court today,
General Liang of the Northwestern Tiger-Wolf Army
was caned 80 times for failing to capture the traitor.
- 80 times? - Hit where?
How would I know that?
If it were us,
we wouldn't even withstand 10 canes.
Ten canes? General Liang is a grandmaster in the Seventh Realm.
But I heard he was seriously wounded after the punishment.
All over his body,
blood was flowing.
All right, don't talk about it anymore.
Let's drink.
Report!
- General! We found Bai Shanshui! - Where is she?
The Fish Market.
Go to the Fish Market!
- Search! - Yes, General!
Bai Shanshui? What is this?
With such a level of martial arts,
aren't you embarrassed to masquerade as me?
General, you are by yourself without help.
It's not wise to pursue recklessly.
Goodbye.
Bai Shanshui!!
Two Bai Shanshui's... Thinking about it now,
the first one that appeared is likely fake.
That person deliberately imitated Bai Shanshui's sword style,
but she is obviously not agile because she lacks strength.
I was in a haste
and did not notice it.
If it's as you say, that when the real Bai Shanshui appeared,
she only took away the fake one
and did not attack you...
- Continue with what you were saying. - General was punished less than a day ago.
It was still inconvenient for you to move around, but someone already attacked you.
She must be targeting you.
And then that Bai Shanshui appeared but did not fight you.
If she wants to make things difficult for you,
in your wounded condition,
you wouldn't have been able to fight her off.
There are many suspicious points in this incident.
The only explanation is that the pretender
was not sent by Bai Shanshui.
You mean, Bai Shanshui saved me?
That pretender's cultivation level cannot even hurt one of your fingers.
Bai Shanshui's appearance
indicates she doesn't want any pretender
- to create a grudge between you two. - Since she didn't come to kill me,
why not play along?
Find a chance to meet Bai Shanshui.
She owes us a favor because of Fan Zhuo. I think we can try.
If we find Ban Shanshui, then it's possible to learn
the identity of the first pretender who attempted to kill me.
You pretended to be me,
because you want to prove to me that you are Heng Kingdom's enemy?
Yes.
But I didn't expect Liang Lian to be so strong
even though he was wounded.
Thank you for helping me.
I just thought you were persistent. Stupid but persistent.
I have proven what needs to be proven.
You should give me the clues to Lone Mountain Sword Trove.
Even if you obtain my clues,
you still won't find Lone Mountain Sword Trove.
Your clues aren't complete?
The other part is with Liang Jingmeng.
That man is already dead.
But he has a disciple.
Recently, the deaths of Marquis Dugu and Song Shenshu
were committed by his disciple.
You have shown me which side you're on.
All you need is to get the other clue from the disciple,
then I will make a transaction with you.
Your words sound nice.
But after working hard,
I didn't get anything out of it.
Regarding this Lone Mountain Sword Trove's deal,
this is all that I can tell you.
But if you have other business,
you can always find me in the Fish Market.
I was in seclusion for a long time.
I had to trouble you to take care
of all the affairs of the state.
For you to be able to breakthrough into the Eighth Realm
is my wish.
Together with you, we will
breakthrough into the Ninth Realm
and never separate eternally.
Hey. [Xie Changsheng: Young Master of the wealthy Xie Family of Guanzhong]
You're all here? You're quite early.
So he is Xie Changsheng, the son of the wealthiest Xie Family?
Xie Changsheng?
That's me.
Second Senior Brother Sun,
where is your newest member, Ding Ning, that one who reached the Profound Connection Realm in half a day? He didn't come?
Little Junior Brother! Junior Brother!
If we still don't set out, we won't make it to the trial in time! [Jiang Li: White Goat Cave]
Junior Brother!
Reaching the Profound Connection Realm in half a day is just pure luck.
He might be fast in reaching the first realm but it doesn't mean he'll quickly break through the second realm, too.
Cultivating into the Energy Refinement Realm in a month is just a wonderful dream of White Goat Cave.
Second Brother Sun, could it be that since you can't do it yourself,
you're jealous of a talent?
If Ding Ning can cultivate into the Energy Refinement Realm in a month, just like Jing Liuli of Min Mountain Sword Sect,
then for the Min Mountain Sword Trials,
could it be you cannot defeat him anymore?
If you say so, why don't you make a bet?
Let's bet if Ding Ning can cultivate into the Energy Refinement Realm in a month.
Too quick. Impossible.
Good!
Then I will bet 300 pieces of gold.
Three hundred pieces of gold?
[Xie Rou: Eldest Miss from the wealthiest Xie Family of Guanzhong]
Xie Changsheng!
- Sister! - Stop right there!
Sister...
- You stop right there! - Sister!
Xie Changsheng! Is this how you spend the family's money?
Do you think because you are named Changsheng, you'll always win? (T/N: Chang Sheng is literally "Always Win."]
- Who is she? - She's my sister, Xie Rou. The name is gentle (rou),
but she is not gentle at all.
Then, why is she calling you Xie Changsheng?
My original name is Xie Changsheng.
But I thought the name was too old-fashioned,
so I changed it to Xie Changsheng. (T/N: the two Sheng words are homophones. Second one means Life.)
You...
You are so bold! You even changed your name?
Sister!
I only made a bet with them.
Besides, Ding Nine reached Profound Connection in half a day.
It's very likely that he can refine his energy in one month.
He is only a youngster working at a tavern.
Even if he can master it within one month,
I'll marry him!
Did you just say that
if Ding Ning can reach Energy Refinement within one month,
you would let him be Xie Changsheng's brother-in-law?
When a Xie family member speaks,
it's a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold. Of course, I won't change it.
If Ding Ning can refine his energy within one month, [Nangong Caishu: Green Vine Sword School]
I will fulfill my promise
and only marry him.
Si-Si-Sister, you...
Sister, that is too excessive.
First Senior Brother!
Junior Brothers.
You... are Ding Ning?
Yes, it is me.
I heard you reached Profound Connection in half a day.
I just bet with them that you can reach Energy Refinement in a month.
My junior brother has just broken through the second realm, Energy Refinement.
It only took him 10 days.
Brother-in-Law! Oh my, Brother-in-Law!
Me? Yes, Brother-in-Law!
My older sister just made a pledge in public earlier.
If you can reach Energy Refinement within one month, she will marry you and only you.
So, you are now my brother-in-law!
Brother-in-Law! Brother-in-Law! Look at me!
Brother-in-Law! Brother-in-Law!
Your joke is too big, isn't it?
It isn't a joke.
Don't make a scene anymore.
I'm not making a scene. I'm serious.
Being too assertive and spouting careless words are my fault.
I should bear the responsibility.
I understand. Some people won't go back on their promise.
Some people regard their family's honor as more important than life.
But we haven't met each other before.
Just basing it on a bet that others probably won't consider seriously,
isn't it being too prejudiced?
Besides, I heard that the Xie family
isn't an ordinary family.
If you do this, your family will not approve.
For my family, I will make them agree.
The key is still dependent on your decision.
Can't do.
I don't agree with this proposal. What is more important right now is the Sword Trial Festival.
Please do not hold on to this idea.
I definitely made a mistake in this matter.
You can choose not to marry me,
but I have to marry you.
Older Sister...
I did a good job here.
Consider that I let you and Brother-in-Law have your meeting ceremony.
Senior Brother!
[Duanmu Lian: Green Vine Sword Academy]
It is almost time!
Will the disciples joining the Sword Trial Festival come with me? [He Zhaoxi: Green Vine Sword School]
Everyone, come.
Go ahead.
He is He Zhaoxi.
Other than eating and sleeping,
he uses all his time to cultivate.
If you can avoid him during the trial,
then do so.
This is the Yellow Court Golden Elixir that my father found.
This elixir can help you directly ascend to the late level of the intermediate stage of the Second Realm.
But, at the same time, it can cause some negative consequences.
You have to use it judiciously.
Thank you.
