[Episode 15]
If you don't want to see that come to pass,
this black bead chain of mine
can avert the disaster.
They are from Heluo's greatest divine master.
How much is it?
Miss.
Ten gold pieces.
Ten gold pieces?
So expensive?
Take a look.
Quick. Take a look.
Is it our luck that we have come across this?
Miss, you are right.
Do you know what I just saw?
I don't know.
I saw we went into a shop to buy things.
then they went to pay for the items
and realized there was insufficient money.
So we took the things and ran away quick.
Run. Quick. Run.
Run quickly.
It scares me to death.
We ran for our lives.
Yu Ran, you caught us by surprise.
That's right. It's not a good idea to take this.
Let me tell you, all the businessmen are liars.
First, they let you see some of the bad things
and then they try to sell you that thing.
Moreover, he himself said that it was fate. If I paid him, then it wasn't fate anymore.
The result was just either life or death. Up till now,
I feel that I'm just stealing time from heavens.
Why did you ask to meet me at such a place?
Who are you?
Even if I've set up the trap, am I able to trap you, the respectable Iron King?
I'm just a mother of a child.
The mother of Lord Wuyang, Baili Yin. No.
That woman remarried long time ago.
She's now living well in Jinbei State.
It was like she never gave birth to this child.
Naturally, someone else will take care of this child.
So to say,
Baili Yin's real identity should be,
You Yin.
And his biological father
was You Changji, the previous Grand Sect Leader of Heavenly Samurai Regiment. Is that correct?
That's right.
I'm here today
to beg you for mercy.
So many people have inquired the whereabouts of that sword.
but it's different for you.
The ancient techniques of that sword have perhaps already been forgotten.
but I know,
You are someone who has recently killed sixteen people on your own.
I like to go straight to the point.
Since you know the whereabouts of the sword.
Please tell me then.
The holy sword , as always, belongs to the Heavenly Samurai.
It can never be anyone's privately owned item.
Spider silk?
So you were the assassin trained by Tianluo Shantang.
Since I already knew my opponent would be you,
I wouldn't make a move without absolute certainty.
Those people who you killed from the Chun State.
Just because they were also looking for the Cangying Guchi sword.
Because of that sword,
you want to kill me as well?
No.
It is for my son.
That child is too ordinary.
It is ridiculous that you all insist on training him as the successor of You Changji.
As a mother,
I only hope that he can live a peaceful life.
You win.
Just kill me.
Don't think I will be softhearted.
I am not You Changji.
I won't have compassion for pretty women.
To me, your life is totally worthless.
I'm asking you. Where is the sword?
Dream on.
It will be buried with me.
Lord Iron King!
Xi Yan.
Let's start.
You don't even draw your sword.
You are looking down on me.
They are fighting so ruthlessly.
Isn't it because of that woman?
What woman. I think it's all about money. Otherwise, how can they be so ruthless?
The both of you, stop fighting.
I am just a cigarette seller.
I... I can't hold it any longer.
Haha. Look at her.
Who would have thought that two sect leaders of the Heavenly Samurai fought over a woman!
If this spread out, you will be the laughingstock.
Everyone has matters that they can't accept.
Frankly, I have tailed the both of you several times. I know that you both have
an affair.
Lord Iron King, you must be really bored.
Frankly, I didn't have the intention of killing her. If not, she would have died earlier.
Should I thank you for not killing her then?
This woman...
You like this woman?
What kind of person is she?
She's an assassin sent by Baili Jinghong to stop your mission.
Her mission then was to follow You Changji. At that time,
she was just a naive 16 year old girl，
so she fell in love with You Changji.
When a woman is at a young age,
they always end up loving a bad man.
You Changji is a hero! Of course,
he was never wary of women.
Baili Yin...no...
we should call him You Yin,
is the son of a wife of Jinbei state.
Later on, he was abandoned by his mother as he is a killer's son.
It was Su Shunqing who took him to a lower household and became his foster mother.
This child probably doesn't like her foster mother.
All the children of wives that are of lower status,
probably all thought that way. But Su Shunqing...
took care of him until he grew up.
What about you?
Why did you fall for a woman of a lower status?
Two flasks of wine.
Your wine.
It's a long story.
That year, I killed teacher Fu Weien
You killed Fu Weien? Yes.
At that time the emperor
was clearing up the Tianqu.
He was very active in this. I really wanted to kill him
Everytime he went out, he was surrounded by many guards.
At this stage now,
it's just like
a man standing at the edge of a cliff,
just about to fall. Yet he sees,
a beautiful woman, it's really a blessing.
A pity I'm not that kind of beauty you want to meet.
I'm under orders of the King of Lower Tang to kill you.
So, you are an assassin.
Are you going to kill Fu Wei En?
Make a guess. Do you think I will kill him?
If you kill him, you must take responsibility for it.
the King does not want to be involved with this matter
but if you kill a high official within Lower Tang's land, the King will not ignore it.
Why did you bring a flute when you want to kill someone?
Because Fu Weien likes it.
He has always like to blow his flute when he's killing someone.
So that he can show off his prowess.
When my friend was being tortured
he was playing his flute, never making a mistake.
After I have killed him,
I will play a tune.
In order to show your prowess?
No.
You are really a very strange Tianqu.
Is that so?
In a person's life, if you have no ambition
is there any difference to a salted fish?
Why is it salted fish?
You are very good looking and you don't smile.
I wanted to tease you to make you smile.
You don't look like someone who talks so much. If you want to blow the flute, blow it.
I will kill you after you are done.
Is there any tune you want to hear?
I don't understand music, nor have I heard of many pieces.
Do whatever you want.
Bring it on.
Make your move but you must remember my name.
The person you are killing,
is a soldier of the Heavenly Samurai
Xi Yan.
You played very well.
It reminds me of
a good friend from a long time ago.
Where are you going?
I'm killing those people out there for you.
See it as a thankyou for the piece.
Therefore, you left Lower Tang State.
She didn't need to kill those people, but she killed them
so no one knows that I killed Fu Weien.
Then I could peacefully live my life in Nanhuai City.
When I was feeling bored, I would teach some students.
At that time Baili Jinghong was recruiting
and I had some talent.
Baili Jinghong doesn't know your Tianqu identity.
He doesn't know you killed Fu Weien?
How could he possibly know?
Baili Jinghong is such a cautious person
if he knew, I would not be allowed to carry a sword.
everything that happened afterwards were all arranged by him.
He did not leave out any loopholes.
In Baili Jinghong's eyes,
I am just a young martial artist.
This woman seems very unique.
That's right.
I talked to you about this in the past.
With your talent, you can go anywhere in the kingdom.
Why must you insist on being loyal to Baili Jinghong?
You are just like
a bird in a cage.
but this cage..
It should be this woman.
Some birds cannot be caged,
they will always escape. But there are some birds
who prefer to stay in the cage.
Even if the cage is broken,
she doesn't know where she would fly to.
I understand. Let that woman hand over the Cangyun Guchi sword
and I guarantee she will leave South Huai City safely.
From then on, no one will know her location.
Except you.
I really didn't expect that you could cook.
Those who love to eat are usually not bad at cooking.
If your students were to see you cooking here,
wouldn't they laugh at you?
Then I will use porridge to shut there mouths.
How are your wounds?
Doing alright. The Iron King showed mercy.
Why are your hand also injured?
The Iron King also showed mercy.
Help me with this.
Let's go.
Why did you think of
killing Iron King?
I was scared that he would take action against you.
He said that he wouldn't. I believe him.
He is such a proud person, he would never do anything to a child.
He wants to find the sword, yet he mentioned Yin'er.
I don't know if Iron King will use the death of Yin'er's father to agitate him.
This child has been too sensitive ever since he was hurt.
In Iron King's eyes, this child
is not suited to be the owner of the Cangyun Guchi sword.
Is this what Iron King wants you to tell me? What did he say?
It's very simple. He only wants the sword.
What he entrusted me, it's to persuade you to leave.
Leave?
I told you many times.
That sword does not belong to You Changji, and definitely should not be held by his son.
If the Cangyun Guchi sword appears,
there will be storms of trouble. If it does not appear, there will still be storms of trouble.
I know you and the others hope that Lord Wuyang can take on his father's legacy
and become the owner of that sword. But have you ever thought
that those thoughts will only harm him. He cannot wield that sword with his current ability.
But maybe, to be able to hold a girl's hand is his pride.
Do you want him to hold the sword or the hand of the girl?
I have waited for thirteen years
and you want me to give up?
If you don't give up, all the more, Iron King won't give up too.
You've protected him for thirteen years. Haven't you had enough
of this life of fear?
Someone who can stand against the storms of trouble,
I think it must be someone like you, right?
That year,
I bought you a house in Qiuye city.
By the river at the foot of the mountain,
there was a large window directly facing the lake.
When the windows were opened, there was an endless view of the lake waters.
Lately there have been turbulent undercurrents in Eastland.
It's still peaceful in Qiuye city. I want to make a new road permit for you.
Change your name and end your relationship with the king.
What if I have to wait till spring and all the flowers have bloomed?
Will you come and visit me?
Since when you can plan my life?
If I don't, who would?
General Xi,
I hope you don't misunderstand our relationship.
I saved you because you looked pitiful.
I was in charge of looking for talents, and you looked useful to Lower Tang.
That is all.
I don't have any feelings for you. You don't need to place any hopes on me too.
I don't need you to manage my business.
This wasn't what you said then.
I remember, when you released me, you said that
I looked like a friend of yours.
You Changji was that friend, am I right?
You think that I resemble him
but I'm not him.
You still have time to consider.
The Iron King's patience will soon be exhausted.
Even if I were willing to leave,
what would happen to Yin?
Why don't you still get it?
He's not like his father. He doesn't has the courage of his father.
He is also not your child, he belongs to Bali Jinghong.
Have you thought about this? Why did Baili Jinghong take him in?
Bali Jinghong's every move is planned.
You are now
struggling to live inside a pot of boiling water.
A pot of boiling water?
Is there a place on this earth that is not a boiling pot of water?
Leave.
Forget everything.
You were originally meant to be free.
What you told me,
is it from Tianqu's standpoint
or did it come from your emotions?
You once told me that every person has his his own shackles.
My shackles
is you.
General Xi,
shall we go look at the Purple Autumn Flowers?
Lord Wuyang, we meet again.
Please.
Heal my hand. I will give you whatever you desire.
My apologies. I can't do anything about your injury.
What do you mean? You treated and healed it in the past.
I could even hold a sword.
My ability will only be able to relieve your pain
but it will not help you recover.
But it doesn't mean there isn't any solution.
To some people, dying and reviving
is not something difficult.
Even more so, he can treat and heal your hand.
Who? Take me to see him.
Are you prepared?
- Yes. - But there's a very small price to pay.
I will pay. I will soon become the ruler of this nation.
I can give whatever you want. Take me there.
What we want, it's definitely in this city.
Lord Wuyang.
You know better than anyone else.
There's a sword in this city,
it can win over any weapon in the world,
It is the ultimate Iron Chopping Sword of all Iron Chopping Swords.
You are my father's enemy!
It's not.
We wish you to wield it.
You want me to wield it?
Lord Wuyang, please have some tea.
You want me to wield the sword...
General, not only do you cook porridge well
you have grown these flowers well as well.
You are a foreigner,
yet you have become an expert in growing Nanhuai City's native flowers.
In my opinion, when you are old,
you don't have to worry about finding a good business to live out your life.
If I say so myself, in this city if I said
I was second best at growing these flowers, no one would dare say they are first.
I spent ten years to know about this flower.
It is like understanding and accompanying a person.
Look at the flower's petals.
You really can't tell that these are wildflowers that grow along the streets of Jinbei.
Wild flowers?
But I think, they appear to have been properly tamed.
Those without the love of others are like wild flowers.
Receiving care from someone is like watering flowers.
I had gifted you several years of these flowers, and it
was to hope that, one day, you would come here to view them.
I should go back.
It is still early.
Why don't you rest a little bit more,
- I will send someone to accompany you. - No need.
There are many things to take care of in the East Palace. I can't leave easily.
I left the palace without permission, people will start to talk if I stay too long.
I'm leaving.
Shun Qin.
Every time we meet and talk,
you always leave without looking back.
I wonder if this will be the last time we meet.
I would like...
I would like to see you turn back for once.
I'm leaving.
Shun Qin.
Every time when we meet,
after speaking,
you always leave without looking back.
I wonder if this will be the last time we meet.
I would like...
I would like to see you turn around one more time.
Imperial Physician Sun has confessed.
So Yin'er had been hurt along and he was hiding it.
His right wrist was pierced through on the battlefield,. He is effectively disabled.
Yin'er is of average intelligence. I've fostered him for many years
waiting for the day that he'll be able to draw the sword.
If he's handicapped,
he will lose his confidence.
One that has lost confidence
is useless to me.
Based on what I know, Heavenly Samurai do not rely on bloodline to inherit the sword.
If you want to find someone who is loyal to you and controllable, that's easy.
Such as Ji Ye. He has ambition and the desire.
he won't be hard to tame.
It is time to select someone else to draw the sword.
It seems that the King of Wuyang has already decided.
If you heal my hand, I promise to retrieve the sword for you.
The person who can heal your hand will be back soon.
But before that, I'm taking you to see
the truth that you've been looking for.
That woman told me to give this to you.
A mute like you is talking again.
Where is this place in the painting?
A faraway place, a place with a cabin hidden by the forest.
In front of it is the clear lake water.
It sounds like the perfect place to live.
It is also a good place to forget the past.
It's my turn to look at your back.
Now, we're even.
I'm here to say goodbye.
I'm really leaving.
I'm leaving for good. It has been thirteen years,
I hope you and your secret will also quietly
rest forever. Now one will come and disturb you.
I know you are worried about Ying'er and I feel the same,
but they were right. Ying'er is not you.
He should walk a path that fits him.
I hope he can find the girl he loves
safely
and live his own life.
