[Novoland: Eagle Flag]
[EP 9]
Every life has an end
but the one of a hero will not end in the bed
Sharpen a sword in the rain
Take the crown on the horse
Good
Last night I ended the story when Emperor Rose
crossed Wanzhou
to wait for the best opportunity.
He killed King Pingshan and Luo Zishou
and occupied Kingdom of Ping
-Yu Ran -What?
What are we doing?
We are listening to the Romance
It's much more interesting than reading books.
It's a must-do thing if you come to Xiatang
Good
You should listen carefully today.
The story of today is The Life of Emperor Rose
and the most exciting chapter.
Battle of Yangguan
If you miss
the next time will be half a year later.
-Emperor Rose's army was approaching Yangguan city -Move.
It was in the bleak autumn
The army was in red
Good
Emperor Rose
Who was Emperor Rose?
I know, he was
What do you know? Who is telling the story now?
There was a red sedan chair with curtain in the army,
where Princess Rose sat.
Yangguan was the barrier of the capital
They could easily conquer the Capital if Yangguan was taken.
But Princess Rose was about to die.
She was the love of Emperor Rose
and a childhood friend of his too.
Yu Ran
Her biggest wish was to see him
sit in Taiqing Palace and be the Emperor of the whole land.
Princess Rose passed away without
seeing Emperor Rose take the throne
(Singing)
Good, good.
Emperor Rose conquered the whole world for his love
But in the end, he still couldn't have what he wanted
I think
He must be very lonely.
But at least he conquered the world
which was Princess Rose wanted to see.
Yu Ran, Ji Ye.
Tell me this story
I have never heard of it before.
OK
I will tell you
I am about to tell it now.
Emperor Rose
He was the founding emperor of our Yin Dynasty.
The biggest hero of Eastland
Princess Rose
Hey, Yu Ran
Princess Rose was Emperor Rose's best friend from childhood, right?
Yes
The best friend
In this legend
I remember there was a third person
whose name is Chun...
Mr. Chun Wen
Yes
Idiot, His name is Wen Chun
Yes, Mr. Wen Chun
I heard the story before,
Wen Chun was the smartest at that time.
He was also Emperor Rose's good friend.
They had a common ambition
How should I describe it?
Great...
Great minds think alike
That's it, great minds think alike
Great minds think alike
Include Princess Rose
And the trio were best friends.
Trio.
We are trio too.
Yes
Pass me the cups..
We should be good friends always like them
OK, yes
Always be friends
(Xiatang's border)
Li invades my territory
Now Xiatang is in grave danger
In my humble opinion
Luo Ziyan's proposed peace treaty
is a good solution
Do you think
Li really wants to negotiate peace with us?
I think
Li just wants a temporary peace.
For a larger military invasion.
The thing is the price we pay is a bit high
Xiatang is the wealthiest country in Eastland
What we lack is
a troop that can defend ourselves.
So we always subject to others
What have I achieved in these years?
I will show you what you have achieved.
A bustling Nanhuai city
It reminds me of the time you first arrived in Xiatang.
You often drew painting of your hometown
At that time, I didn't have a clue what Tribe of Yu is.
I thought it was in your dream.
Is this me?
The first time I met your majesty
You were standing on the bridge
full of charisma
I think
We should negotiate peace with Li.
OK
(Tianqi, the Capital of the Empire )
All my courtiers
I received two letters just now.
One is from Yin Wuyi of Li
He asked for the Military title to command an army.
The other one is the military update Rom the front line.
Xiatang was defeated and suffered a great loss.
And ceded 15 cities for peace.
Any idea?
What do you think I should do?
Your Majesty
Yin Wuyi of Li ignores the national rules
and invades Xiatang without your permission.
He is a traitor obviously
Now he even asks for the title of duke.
His intention needs no explanation.
Your Majesty
I disagree
I know Li has 50,000 fine soldiers
who are very aggressive
They dress in red and equipped with armor so get the name of Red Brigade
And among them there are five thousand elite cavalries.
Who march as fast as lightning
Also known as Lightning cavalry
They are so formidable
Xiatang cannot defend itself from their attack
I am afraid that losing 15 cities is the best result for Xiatang.
So do you mean
even if Li occupies the whole Xiatang
It makes perfect sense?
Forgive me.
I mean
With the military power of Li
It's not difficult to conquer Xiatang
So it is wise for Xiatang to seek for peace.
Then what is your opinion?
Should his majesty grant him the title of Duke?
In my humble opinion
We should do so
Yin Wuyi is threatening the Capital by defeating Xiatang.
Without any resistance now.
I am afraid
if his majesty doesn't grant him the title
Till then we will be in serious trouble
And we will never find peace.
I am really looking forward to it
But you, I am afraid
can't see that day to come
Come
Your majesty
Retreat
I don't know which city Yin Wuyi invades
It's so strange
Neither stronghold nor the rich land
It's a nowhere valley named Gubeikou
In my humble opinion
What the ambitious Yin Wuyi wants
is not Xiatang
He is a lion stretching his claws to the Capital now.
Why do you think so?
Gubeikou
Now it is in the middle of nowhere.
But more than a hundred years ago
It was a shortcut for traders to reach the Capital.
Taking the route of Gubeikou
traders could spend 4 days less on the way to the Capital.
But it was a risky route
so less and less traders took it and it was forgotten.
With
With Li's power
Soon they can build a road for military horses
Till then as long as Yin Wuyi gives his order
The Capital will be surrounded by his army.
I think you must have known that
Yin Wuyi asked for the title of Duke
What's your take?
In my humble opinion
Among all the Marquesses
Yin Wuyi is not the only one who wants to betray us
For centuries
The Royal Emperor will take advantage of the balance that
all the kingdoms threaten and defend each other.
But now Li's military power overwhelmed other countries.
Once this balance is broken
other kings will follow the same path.
This gorgeous Capital
is always the target of those greedy people.
What are your countermeasures?
Like the old rules
The diversionary tactics for the nobility
In the past
not all kings were willingly fight for the Empire.
But now the lion comes,
all must defend themselves together.
Send the letter to Baili Jinghong
At all costs
stop Yin Wuyi before Gubeikou
Yes
You must have known who sent this letter
It must be from her Royal Princess Bai Lingbo,
from the Capital Tianqi.
I can have this status among all the nobility
All because of her highness
The idea of forming an alliance with Qingyang tribe
also came from her highness
I can do nothing but obey her order.
Her highness doesn't agree with the peace treaty
and demands you to defend Yin Wuyi.
The same old tactics of the Royal Family,
if they want to terminate one kingdom,
they will do it after an initiative move from the other kingdom.
His majesty is always high above
watching the marquess sacrifice.
Can you refuse?
If we refuse
that means we give up her kindness.
From then on
We should forget to have the grace of the emperor.
Few woman in the world can take rejection easily.
If I reject her once
She will remember it for ten years
Among allies in the world
who you are sure is your friend?
We all have interests for exchange
I am here in this Nanhuai City because I need your help
For so long
It's also true for her highness
Now Yin Wuyi is waving his sword to the capital
The world is in a trouble, and everyone will panic
The one who can defeat Yin Wuyi
will be much elevated in the status among the Marquess
So the war between us and Li,
in which lies great benefit as much as risk.
I know
What I am concerned,
is the military power between us.
The only power we can get now
which we have exchanged with 100,000 Dan of provisions
The Northlanders are ruthless and have arrived not long enough
to be ordered around by us, I am afraid.
King Jiu is very sophisticated man
Before the marriage
I am afraid that he won't agree to send out his troops
Now we have tigers and wolves living in our house,
the only way to keep them from hurting us,
is to send them out to bite others
King Jiu won't agree to send out the troop
I also have countermeasures
As long as a man is sent on the battlefield,
King Jiu will have no choice but to send his troop.
You mean the crown prince?
You are so wise
and have backup plans always.
But we just reached peace treaty with Li for days,
now I have to break the treaty
Now my decision will be like a joke to others.
No
You have your own difficulties
In the turbulent times, we need to take advantage of the trend
This is a good opportunity for us to be conquer the Eastland.
Your opponent is a prisoner from Li
They were humiliated on the battlefield
They have the anger of revenge in the heart
If they have swords in their hands
They will beat your into a pulp
If they still have nails
They will pierce the nails into your throat
This practice is the closest you can get away from the real battlefield.
Then today
You will team up in two
Good luck
A reminder,
Even staying in the same cell with these beasts
for a long time.
Don't forget one day when you meet on the battlefield,
they will kill you if you show your mercy.
As a warrior,
you should always be decisive.
You two young boys
are exactly the same I saw on the battlefield.
Soldiers of Xiatang have no determination
and look weak.
Asule
She is our enemy
Ji Ye
Let go of him
On the battlefield, people like you
will be the ghost under my machete
You are a woman
We don't want to hurt you
You chose to step back even though you are holding a weapon.
This is why you lost.
Kill him
Do it now.
Losers.
Even can't be a good prisoner
Why do I have to keep your life?
But what she said is right.
People who step back while holding a weapon
are destined to be a loser
So you should learn from it
And
if you do this again on the battlefield in the future
I will punish you with military law for sure
Whether you are a crown prince
or a despicable adulteress child.
No exception
Asule
You have sympathy right?
I was sent to Xiatang
They told me to learn all the military knowledge of Eastland
I fought for the first time today
but the only thing I saw is cruelty and blood
Take the captive as a target
She is a woman
The masters arranged these prisoners as our opponents.
To show us how they fought.
Asule
You are not from Xiatang
Li's warriors are not your opponents.
It's normal that you have sympathy
Maybe
Ji Ye
A few years ago
My teacher asked me if I wanted
to kill people when I hold the sword.
But the reason I hold my weapon
is to save lives.
I have heard about what happened in palace Ji
Officer Su
I have a question
Is there really demons in this world?
The real demons live in people's heart
The evil in people's heart
gives birth to thousands of demons
Your highness
Please promise me one thing.
Say it
Please protect yourself well
As for Wuyang lord
No matter what he did, please believe
it's not his intention
He embraces too much anger in his heart.
And wants to prove himself
I don't know why Wuyang lord must do this
But I will remember what he said to me and Ji Ye
The one who inherits the Zhantie sword
should protect more people.
I have heard of this before
He also had a unique sword
just like you
he thought of the world with all his heart.
What happened to him then?
Then
He became a hero
but died from numerous wounds from swords.
Your majesty
The crown prince has been studying in the palace these days.
Everything is normal as usual
Nothing peculiar
But I know
In the training yesterday
he had a narrow escape from Li's prisoner
Also had some conflicts with Wuyang lord
It's either your negligence
or you are partial to Yin'er
Forgive me, your highness.
I will guarantee the crown prince's safety
I won't make the same mistake again
I know you
And I won't punish you
Yin'er is an adult.
A few days later
I will take him to the underground palace.
It's your time to take out the ring that you keep for Yin'er
Your majesty
That sword is an extremely dangerous weapon
I don't think he can control it now
The sword belongs to him.
Only Yin'er
can become the master of the sword
You should know the power of the sword
Ordinary people can't get near it.
The sword has not only bears his father's soul
but also the souls which died from it.
It's too scary to imagine
Indeed, Yin'er is the most likely to own the sword
But with his current temperament
he can't do this, your majesty
But his father used to take the sword out
Right?
Only the owner of it
can become the leader of Tianqu warriors.
Every owner of the sword was the great hero.
Take out the sword
Then they will become the heroes in people's eyes
You also know it
My hope for Yin'er is not only the sword
but also the whole Xiatang
Please reconsider
Yin'er is just a child
I only hope
Yin'er can spend his life safely
Please spare his life, your majesty.
He is no longer a child
You are no longer his adoptive mother.
From the day you took him to me
He had only one future.
Either become a hero with a sword
Or
Live like a coward
You make him a coward now
He would rather die
You still have time.
You can leave
You brought dirty things in
They dare not come in
What do you want to know?
I am looking for a sword
Then you are in the wrong place.
The shop next door sells weapons.
The sword could not be found in the weapons shop.
What you want to ask is an old thing.
But it's too far back to recall
Tell me what you know
I know
A young man called You Changji
He took a boat
down the river
He took a heavy ancient sword like a hero
Unfortunately
he encountered the assassination of Tianqu's warrior
but he defeated dozens of people alone
I am not asking about the man
I am asking about a sword.
I don't know the whereabouts of the sword
Maybe someone else will know
At the night of a full moon
You should come again with enough money
Recently, the safflower is blooming.
I personally picked some
and asked the cook to make safflower biscuits.
And you can have a try.
I remember the times I took you with me
From the Jinbei, we came to Nanhuai by boat
You were very alert on the road.
You were better when we arrived at Nanhuai.
Among the specialties there
You can find your favorite pastry
Especially the safflower biscuits made of petals
You ate one every day.
Officer Su
I am no longer a child.
I don't have to eat some pastries every day before go to sleep
You used to talk a lot to me in your childhood
Now the older you grow,
the less you will talk
Then I will go back now
Office Su
I have something to ask you.
How did my father die?
Princess Rose's biggest wish
was to see Emperor Rose take the throne
So he launched attack on Shangyangguan at all costs
So if you love someone
you need to make her happy
It seems that you enjoy this legend.
Yu Ran
You are here
I heard of Emperor Rose's story
I like it
Do you miss me?
Chubby
If you like him, come often
Anyway, he also likes to play with you.
I thought it's not convenient for you to come here
We are all brothers and have a drink together.
From now on
We are in the same trench
We have left from home and live under other's roof
But don't worry.
In the future I will protect you like a big brother.
Great
It's OK.
Let's go
Let's go find Ji Ye and go to Ghost City.
Go
I have checked all the relative records
But in vain
I only know my dad was from Jinbei.
Born in the official family and worked for the royal family.
And his another secret identity
Is Tianqu's suzerain
One day he suddenly left the capital
took Tianqu's sacred weapon Cangyunguchi sword to Nanhuai
But he was killed by an unknown man.
It's true
Who killed him?
Yin'er
Some of your questions
I know
Some of them, I don't know
Some people think that he is a sinner
But in fact, he was innocent
People all over the world wanted to kill him that year
He suffered numerous ambushes along the way.
But for who succeeded in the end?
It's till today a pending case
His majesty told me that Chen Yue killed my father.
What do you think of it?
I don't think it's true
Chen Yue was your dad's enemy indeed
But your dad's enemies were far more than Chen Yue
His majesty wants you to hate Chen Yue
Then you will want to inherit your father's sword.
Tianqu's power is still lurking in all corners of Eastland
His majesty hopes Tianqu could be at his disposal
He is an ambitious man
Each of us is his pawn
You
I
Qingyang's crown prince
Even for state preceptor
You mean his majesty wants to take advantage of me?
You are the most promising man to become a sword master
Officer Su, you know
his majesty takes me as his pawn
Then why did you take me to Xiatang?
You were still young at that time
Your dad's enemies were all across Eastland
How could you be alive without the protection of the country?
Officer Su
you are not his majesty's running dog?
Officer Su
When I met you
You were only sixteen years old
I regarded you as my own sister.
And I always want to have a sister like you
So beautiful
also can take care of me
Full of charisma
But now I think
many people killed my dad
And you
are one of them right?
You enjoy seeing fish very much.
I am just thinking
Are we like the fish in this pool?
And think we are swimming in the sea.
Actually
it's only a pond
You are thinking
do we live in the pond
Actually till we die, we don't know where we are
You should have come a few days earlier
Zilinqiu is in full blossom
but now
they are withering
Flowers not in the season are destined to wither
The improper people
will leave after all
His majesty has seen me.
He wants to let Yin'er go to the palace for the sword.
I have seen it coming
He has been waiting for a long time
Just for this moment
Shunqin
You should leave
Leave?
I will not leave
Just like general Xi guard these flowers
I also have something I want to guard.
What you really need to guard
is not the sword
But that man
You are not a Tianqu warrior
Responsibility for guarding the sword
Shouldn't be yours
But the man who can guard the sword
Has been killed
What are you doing this for?
Just because he saved you
You have to bear the shackles for your entire life?
Everyone has his cage in the world
That sword is my cage
Look at that building
We don't know the vast Novoland without coming to the ghost city.
Correct
Ghost city is so wonderful
This man is from Kuafu tribe
look
That man is from Heluo tribe.
And Yu clan
Why no Yu clan?
Yu clan?
I am here
Yes
Yu Ran, you really can fly?
Of course
I will show you
Wait
I can't fly today.
It's OK
You can't fly today
you should inform us if you want to fly
We will see you fly to the sky
OK
