Sword Dynasty
Episode 28
What are you doing here?
Don't you want to avenge Ye Celeng's death?
You were eavesdropping on us?
I was late
so I've just heard the last of it.
I can't kill Ye Zhen.
If you want to seek vengeance,
you should go to Ding Ning for the Gushan Sword Manual.
Do you know
who killed Ye Celeng?
It was Liang Lian.
Ding Ning,
why do you always want to leave us behind?
This is so not considerate!
Xie Changsheng,
were you eavesdropping on me again?
No, I wasn't.
It was him.
You should find a better excuse.
Jiang Li wouldn't have done that.
I...
Ask Nangong.
I, I don't know.
Then ask my sister.
Stop it.
It was me.
See?
I know you want to go
and I know you want
to go alone.
Jiang Li,
you've changed.
Ding Ning,
Martial Uncle would take care of Baiyang Cave.
Tomorrow,
let's set out together with the Xie's travelling merchants.
We can take care of each other on the way,
and I'll be much more relieved.
I'm so grateful
to all of you.
Please accept my thanks.
I've told you there's no need to be so polite.
If he would listen to us,
how would we have eavesdropped on him?
Jiang Li,
you've really changed.
Have I?
Greetings, Your Majesty.
When I asked Xinhe to give you the Autumn Water Sword,
I wasn't sure about your affection for her.
But now
you've confirmed my guess.
Your Majesty,
you've thought so much for me.
I'm wondering
what I can do for you.
Do you still remember Ding Ning?
He won the top spot at the Minshan Swordsmanship Tournament
and then acquired the Life-sustaining Magic Art.
Do you
want me to kill him?
His aunt was there when they broke into the water dungeon,
and she had
That Man's Ninth-hell Dark Lord Sword.
So I suspect their identities.
I once applied hypnosis
on Ding Ning
and I found
he is just an ordinary young man.
As for his aunt,
I didn't check on her.
It doesn't matter.
They've been missing for quite some time.
Go and check on it.
Your Majesty,
what do you want me to check on?
I just want
the Life-sustaining Magic Art.
Here we are.
Come, Sis.
Come.
All right.
Look,
go west along this road
and then you'll see Fengwu.
Thank you for taking care of us the whole way.
You're welcome.
OK. Let's go.
Yes.
Let's go.
Go.
How much further is Fengwu?
Are you tired, Sis?
No.
How about this?
Let's find a place to have a rest.
OK.
Stop!
Don't run!
Stop!
Help!
Stop!
Don't run!
Stop!
Help!
Don't run!
Catch her!
Help!
Don't run!
Stop!
Help!
Stop!
Let's go and see.
Help!
Hurry.
Miss,
are you all right?
-Go. -Stand up.
-Go. -Go.
It's fine now.
What have you done?
Why would the Fengwu troops
want to kill you?
The Fengwu troops killed everyone and burned down the whole village.
I escaped.
They're afraid that what they've done might get exposed,
so they want to kill me.
So you're homeless now?
The village has been destroyed,
but I still want to go back to Fengwu.
I'm wondering if you're going that way.
OK.
Let's travel together.
Thanks.
Let's go.
Report, Your Majesty!
The Heng troops have passed the border.
So fast?
Go and check on it again.
Yes.
As the King of Xian said,
the Heng really sent their troops.
Now,
we'll report it to the King of Xian
so as to fight against the Heng Army together.
Your Majesty,
I want to say
something to you.
Please go ahead.
In this world,
Heng and Xian are the most powerful states.
In the battle during the Lushan Alliance Meeting,
Heng defeated the other three states
with absolute predominance.
It's obvious
who's the most powerful now.
Then why would you place our lives
upon an oath of alliance with the State of Xian?
Do you want me
to go back on my promise?
I dare not.
But
those who suit their actions to the time
are wise.
The Heng people are cruel and ruthless.
To cooperate with them
is like asking a tiger for its skin.
Besides,
I will never betray my allies.
So don't
mention it again.
Yes.
Teacher of the Nation.
Where is she?
Teacher of the Nation,
the cavalrymen sent to catch Wu Lianzi
ran into some Heng practitioners
and they took
Wu Lianzi away.
Go and find them!
No matter what,
you have to catch Wu Lianzi!
Yes.
Wait.
Send the Commander-in-chief of the Heng army
a letter.
Yes.
Report!
Stop.
An unarmed Fengwu practitioner
came and asked to see the Commander-in-chief.
Your Highness.
Bring that practitioner here.
Yes.
Our countries are at war
and you've come here regardless of your life,
so what do you want?
I'm ordered to send your Commander-in-chief a gift. Please give it to him.
Give out my order.
We'll be stationed here.
Marquis Liang.
Yes.
The Crown Prince doesn't need
to know about this letter from Fengwu.
Yes.
It's still early.
Why did you order us to station here?
I was wondering who was so rude.
It's you, the General of the Vanguard.
Father asked us to suppress Fengwu
and it's far away from the battle line.
So why did you stop marching?
You're making a fuss.
We've been marching for a long time.
The generals and soldiers need a break.
Besides,
I'm tired.
Speed is crucial in war which can help us take them by surprise.
If we station here,
they'll know we're coming.
And when they get prepared,
it'll be hard for us to defeat them in one fell swoop.
Zihan,
this is about serious military affairs.
Please take it seriously.
You're contradicting your Commander-in-chief,
which has broken the military regulations.
I know you're not familiar with the regulations,
so I won't punish you this time,
but if you do it again,
there'll be consequences.
Thank you, Brother.
Your Highness.
Write back to Zhan Mohe.
Yes.
We're at war and in short supply.
Sorry about it.
It doesn't matter.
And please
save two rooms for us.
Two rooms?
Yes.
OK.
I've got it.
Go east after going out of this inn
and there's a place called Wuchou Town.
For some reason,
it's filled with a heavy fog
that will never disperse, and people can't even see their own hand
in front of their eyes.
So the villagers just left
and no one dares to go inside.
So now,
it's basically
a haunted town.
Why did you know that?
I didn't get everything
with the help of money.
I've grown up and I have my brain.
Give me your money bag.
Come on. Let's eat.
Ding Ning,
what do you think?
Do you really believe in such supernatural things?
Tomorrow,
let's go to Wuchou Town
and find it out.
OK.
No! You can't!
Why?
Why can't we? Give us an explanation.
I've spent a lot on it.
It has cost me a fortune.
Stop talking.
Eat your pancake.
Fengwu is putting up a desperate struggle
and now you've sent us your map.
So do you want to surrender?
It's known to the world
that Heng is bound to win.
But the King of Fengwu is so stubborn
that he can't see it clearly.
Fengwu is doomed.
I hope when you win,
you can give me a fief.
With or without this map,
our cavalrymen
will destroy Fengwu.
Do you really think you can get a fief
by just this map?
It's more than that.
The King of Fengwu has ordered
his royal guards to attack you
when you go through
the pathway here.
The Fengwu troops are familiar with the terrain here.
If you don't get ready for this,
this battle
is going to cost you a lot.
Good.
Thank you for telling me.
I've shown my sincerity
and I hope
you will keep your promise.
I'm leaving now.
Congratulations, Commander-in-chief.
You've learned Fengwu's plan
and it's a great opportunity for you to make contributions and get a promotion.
At moments like this, we need some good wine.
Come.
Serve the wine.
Marquis Liang, please.
Thank you, Commander-in-chief.
With the Crown Prince alive,
how could I get a promotion?
Wouldn't it be better to get rid of him
by Fengwu's hand?
Please be careful with what you say, Commander-in-chief.
I'm here to help in the war
and I dare not assassinate the Crown Prince.
Liang Lian,
will you kill the Crown Prince for me?
Yes.
I'm sorry to have offended you.
Commander-in-chief, please forgive me.
It doesn't matter.
When did she leave?
It's my fault that I overslept.
We saved her,
but why would her run away?
The Fengwu troops wanted to kill her,
which means she must have known something unusual.
It's just as I expected.
Now let's set out
and we have to find her.
OK.
Today we're going to launch a surprise attack on the Heng army behind the enemy lines,
and it's very dangerous.
If we can succeed, Fengwu is bound to win!
Fengwu is bound to win!
I'm waiting for your triumphant return.
Let's go!
Commander-in-chief.
There's no need to be so polite.
Yesterday, I was being too rude
and wronged you.
We're confronted with a formidable enemy
so we should be of one mind.
Brother.
We're not marching
and Fengwu must have let their guard down.
Now we need a team of men
to explore our way ahead.
Exploring the way
is the duty of the vanguard.
Your Royal Highness, don't!
Well said!
In order to avoid being spotted,
you can't take too many men with you.
Please take care of yourself.
Brother, don't worry.
I will fulfill
the task you've given me.
I'll see you off.
There's no need for that.
Give out my order.
Set out now.
Yes.
Let's go.
How would I not see you off
for the last time?
Commander-in-chief,
now you're bound to be made the new Crown Prince.
Please enjoy it.
Sir, here is your pancake.
Please take a seat.
Here. This way, please.
May I help you, Miss?
The Heng army has arrived.
Where are they stationed?
Sorry, Miss.
I can't answer
this question.
Tell me where the Heng army is
and this is all yours.
We don't talk about state affairs here.
Don't push him too hard.
Who are you?
Follow me.
Release the arrows!
Charge!
Your Royal Highness,
are you all right?
Go back and tell the Commander-in-chief
that we've been ambushed by the Fengwu troops,
and need urgent reinforcements!
Your Royal Highness,
we're outnumbered.
Your Royal Highness, please go first.
I'll fight with them.
They're my soldiers
and I'll fight alongside them till the end. Go!
Protect His Royal Highness!
Retreat!
Teacher of the Nation,
the royal guards have run into the vanguard of the Heng army.
His Royal Highness is so valiant that he has defeated the enemy,
which has been isolated and helpless.
Yuan Zihan has kept his words.
I hope Yelü Canglang
won't let me down either.
Why are you in Fengwu?
Fan Zhuo's remains are scarcely cold yet.
Of course I'm here after Liang Lian.
Good. We can travel together.
Are you here for Ye Celeng?
Yes.
Liang Lian killed
not only her.
Traitors to the Bashan Sword Field
deserve to die.
Report, Commander-in-chief!
Vice General.
Commander-in-chief.
Why are you so badly hurt?
Where is the Crown Prince?
Why didn't you come back together?
Please send troops to save the Crown Prince!
What happened?
The vanguard
was ambushed by the Fengwu troops.
Why didn't the Crown Prince come back?
The Crown Prince was afraid that the enemy would march into here,
so he led the troops to resist their attack
and asked me to request for reinforcements.
Marquis Liang.
Yes.
Lead the Tiger and Wolf Army to rescue the Crown Prince!
Yes!
You lead the way!
If anything happens to the Crown Prince,
you'll be responsible!
Yes!
Marquis Liang,
the Crown Prince is in danger,
please speed up.
OK.
Give the Fengwu soldiers
some more time.
Commander-in-chief.
Write a letter to my father.
Crown Prince Chu
has been killed by the Fengwu troops.
But the Crown Prince's life is still uncertain...
Send it.
Yes.
Congratulations on your great victory, Your Royal Highness!
You're invincible!
Where is the Teacher of the Nation?
His Majesty has something important to talk with the Teacher of the Nation
and Your Royal Highness.
The Teacher of the Nation has gone back to the camp
and he asked me to inform Your Royal Highness.
I'm going to the camp right away.
Watch out!
Bai Shanshui!
Don't kill him!
It was not his fault.
Bai Shanshui!
Who are you?
I'm Ding Ning's aunt.
You're his aunt?
Why are you here?
I led the vanguard to explore the way,
but we got ambushed by the Fengwu troops.
I've sent my vice general to report it
and our reinforcements will be here soon.
Why are you two here?
Someone is here!
Don't be afraid!
It must be our reinforcements.
Reinforcements or not,
let's just wait and see.
Marquis Liang...
Watch carefully.
Check and see
if there's still someone alive!
Yes.
Help, help me!
Bro.
Marquis Liang,
there's someone alive.
Help me.
Where is the Crown Prince?
You're finally here.
Help, help me!
Wait.
I've been looking for him for quite some time.
To protect the Crown Prince is the most important thing right now.
Let's go!
Report!
We can't find the dead body of the Crown Prince ahead.
Report!
We can't find his dead body here either.
This battlefield is not big,
but you can't even find a dead body,
which means the Crown Prince is not dead yet.
He must have been rescued by someone.
One of you shall go back and report it to the Commander-in-chief,
and the rest shall go on looking for him.
Yes.
Liang Lian,
will you kill the Crown Prince for me?
Yes.
The Crown Prince must die!
Canglang!
Lianzi!
Canglang!
Why are you here?
Why are you all alone?
What happened?
Teacher of the Nation Zhan Mohe has betrayed our state.
He wants the relic
and he has killed the whole Wu clan.
He has been hunting me down here.
Lianzi,
this is nonsense.
Canglang,
I'm telling you the truth.
You have to believe me.
Canglang!
The Fengwu troops!
The Heng people!
Let go of her!
Catch them!
Stop!
You know them?
When I was about to be killed,
they saved me.
I don't know who wants to kill Lianzi,
but I'm not
an ungrateful man.
Today I'll let you off.
Don't ever show up in front of me again.
Yelü Canglang?
He is the Crown Prince of Fengwu.
In that case,
thank you, Your Royal Highness.
Well...
Get a docile horse for the Sacred Maiden
and take good care of her.
Canglang.
The Teacher of the Nation wouldn't do such a thing
as betraying our state.
Let's go back to the camp
and after we settle down,
you can think carefully
about what exactly has happened.
Canglang.
No.
You have to believe me, Canglang.
Canglang, you have to believe me.
Canglang.
Let's go!
Canglang.
We've looked for her for so long.
Are we really going to give up now?
Who said we would give up?
Let's follow them.
Report!
Battlefield report from the frontline!
The vanguard led by the Crown Prince
got ambushed by Yelü Canglang, a prince of Fengwu.
The whole vanguard was annihilated
and the Crown Prince died of exhaustion.
What?
Say it again!
Battlefield report from the frontline!
The Crown Prince
died in battle.
Died in battle?
Zichu!
How dare they kill my Crown Prince!
Listen up!
I'm going out to battle myself!
Midnight tonight,
we're going to attack Fengwu.
Yes, Your Majesty.
