[Episode 21]
Asule?
Why did you wake up so early?
Asule is not here.
The Crown Prince has already left South Huai City.
What?
The Emperor's envoy came last night with an imperial request
to urgently summon the Crown Prince to visit Revelation City.
They already left before dawn.
Then, His Lordship didn't stop them?
Didn't you want to obtain the Heavenly Samurai from him?
That was a decree from Great Yin's emperor. Would you have ripped it?
As for you, why did you wake up so early?
You were the one who was unwilling in this marriage. Now that he has left,
you can't bear to see him leave?
It's not what you think.
We are friends.
It has always been so.
It's just that he went to Revelation City without even telling me.
I'm worried about him.
That's right. This time, not only will it be a long trip,
when he arrives at Revelation City, he will probably renter the inner fights of the royals.
And the Crown Prince is a softhearted child.
I'm afraid he can't bear the hardships.
Miss, what are you looking for?
Boss, what is something that South Huai City has that Revelation City doesn't?
What could there be that Revelation City doesn't have?
However, each of these crisp winter jujubes were carefully selected.
They are delicious with a lingering sweetness.
Miss, would you like to buy this?
Okay, I will buy some.
Okay.
I have a gust of anger bottled up inside of me.
His Majesty called for Lu Guichen to go
probably to utilize his role as the Leader of the Heavenly Samurai
to force the grand princess to return the governing authority.
What I hate is racking my mind to think of schemes.
I grasp the pawns of this game but fell into the chessboard of another schemer.
Baili Jinghong, I don't want to eat those things.
I want to eat potatoes.
Feed me.
Crown Prince.
You are a grown up. Eat this on your own.
No, I want you to feed me.
Feed me.
If you don't feed me, I refused to eat this.
Feed me. I want you to feed me.
Feed me now! Feed me...
Then don't eat it!
Crown Prince.
Get out!
Let's go out and eat this.
Your Lordship, are you distressed by the Crown Prince's matter?
I think that we set our plans farther into the future.
The Crown Prince is a softhearted person.
It's easy to keep him by your side,
but it's hard to use him.
Unless you can control his heart.
And the one who controls his heart is right by our side.
Are you referring to Yu Ran?
I am willing to accompany Yu Ran and go to Revelation City with her.
In the Revelation City of today, Ying Wuyi domineers over all, covering the sky with one hand.
Even the Imperial Palace cannot enjoy days of rest.
Are you not afraid?
I'm merely helping you.
I'm also helping myself.
Qingzhou is far,
but I will go back eventually.
If you leave,
then I really won't have anyone to talk with in this city.
to talk with in this city.
That day, I asked you,
"What am I worth to you?"
Actually, I have already known the answer long ago.
You are the master of this country.
You have a secretive place in your heart.
I am also like that.
Quickly.
Here.
Eat this.
Come, eat this.
- General. - Yes.
Remove his chain. Drag him away.
Hurry up.
Sir, have you bribed my guards?
Why are you watering plants so arrogantly?
None of them even knows.
I'm here to say goodbye.
Before I leave, I'm here to water the flowers.
Sir, where are you going?
Wherever the Chief Leader is, I'll go there.
Sir, your information is really up-to-date.
It's far better than many court officials.
I noticed it as soon as the imperial envoy arrived.
They only stayed for one night before retreating. This is very strange.
So I followed them.
I discovered that the Chief Leader of our Heavenly Samurai was travelling with them.
Baili Jinghong did not stop them,
because the envoy came with the emperor's decree.
Baili Jinghong obviously could not resist.
In my view, what's strange is not the envoy.
It was His Majesty's decision instead.
It seems that there must be someone swaying his decisions.
Once I reach the capital, I will investigate for a clear answer.
Then, I will hand you the responsibility of looking after the Crown Prince's safety.
Although it is dangerous that the Chief Leader is heading there, this is also an opportunity.
Think about this.
Great Yin's emperor is meeting Heavenly Samurai's Chief Leader.
It's not long before we can resurrect and see the light of day.
Since the sword has chosen him,
let him make his own decisions.
Sir, it's best that you don't influence him.
We cannot replace him. We cannot make his decision for him either.
Sir, do you understand?
Stop running away.
What are you doing here?
Instead of waiting for you at Revelation City, I may as well go with you.
You schemed against me.
If you weren't worried about the Crown Prince, why would you rush to Revelation based on what I said.
It's natural for a woman to want to see her husband.
Why are you doing this on the sly?
You are a Crown Princess now.
You should leave publicly.
You're just afraid that the caged bird will fly away.
It sounds so nice, but it's just the same as people in Revelation City, full of conceit.
Revelation City is full of dangers, unlike South Huai City.
There is a crazy lion, an ambitious old woman,
and an emperor who never grows up. It's very dangerous.
If you think I harbor malice toward Asule, I don't care.
Yu Ran.
Take care of the Crown Prince and Prefecture Princess.
Take good care of yourself.
Your Lordship, don't worry.
Your Lordship, it's cumbersome to manage state affairs.
Please don't over-exert yourself.
Yu Ran!
You are leaving? I won't let you leave.
You won't return if you leave.
Who says I won't return?
I dreamed about this last night.
There were heavy cobwebs in your palace,
and dust was all over the floor.
I looked for you and couldn't find you at all.
Yu'er, stop fooling around.
Enough. I will be back in a few months.
No. Everyone is lying to me.
You will never return.
Yu'er, release her hand.
The Prefecture Princess is leaving, I want to say farewell.
♫ Yesterday, the blue silk ♫
♫ red bones ♫
♫ The moonlight is late in coming ♫
♫ No tears in sadness and joys ♫
Crown Prince, there is a fork in the road.
One goes to Peng State, the other leads to Chuwei State.
I would like know what you think, Crown Prince.
We are leaving Lower Tang's territory.
Crown Prince, what's wrong?
I'm fine.
Don't be concerned.
Why did you pay respects here, Crown Prince?
Not long ago, I was in a battle here.
Many of my brothers from Qingyang and fellows from Ji Palace died here.
They died here.
I see.
You don't have to feel so sad.
That was my first time in a battlefield.
War, it is the worst cruelty in the world.
I've read many books on warfare after I came to Eastland.
Fengyan's One Hundred Battles also recorded this location.
A famous battle between Peng State and Chuwei State took place here.
Su Jinshen and Ye Zhongxun.
People who were brothers fought on behalf of different nobles,
but a slaughter still could not be avoided.
As someone from Qingyang, you are quite familiar with Eastland's history.
Maybe it's because it was a war fought among brothers,
so it was memorable to me.
In that battle, among this pile of wild rocks,
more than 100,000 lives were lost.
Death is not to be feared.
The worst fear is to be killed under a loved one's blade.
Crown Prince, you are so benevolent. The souls of these dead soldiers will rest in peace.
Crown Prince, it's getting late.
Please decide which road to take.
To safeguard the Crown Prince's safety, let's take the road to Chuwei.
Yes.
Miss.
Who are you?
I'm merely sent here to take care of you.
These copper mirrors have phoenix and crepe patterns.
They are more interesting than those at the capital.
Those at the capital are all the same.
They give foil to the capital's imposing stature. It's good.
What's so good when they are all the same?
There are 10,000 creatures in the world. They should all be different.
Stop.
Remove their head scarf.
Look. This is where you'll be working from now on.
His Lordship wants to rebuild the ancient gallery road
to mine the iron ore from the mountain.
This gallery road has taken three years to repair.
If my prisoners didn't die on the way,
they mostly died at the rocky cliffs.
Compared to dying in mid-mountain not touching the ground,
it's not so terrible to die on the ground, right?
Keep an eye on them, don't let them slack off.
Watch them well.
Start working. Quick.
Faster!
Move it.
Hurry up! Move it!
Push harder there.
Move it!
Hurry up!
You, go over there.
Kneel down.
Hurry up.
Kneel down.
Hurry up.
From now on, you will answer to me.
All these prisoners deserve to die.
You're lucky to be alive.
Redeem your crime heres.
If you slack off,
I won't spare your lives.
Boss Gang, I heard you like spears. I brought this spear from South Huai City
just for you.
The spear head is nine inches long.
It's a good spear.
That is my spear!
Now that you're here, even your pathetic life is mine.
What do you have?
This spear belongs to me now.
And you will be the first person I kill with it.
Prepare the ropes, let these rats down to work.
Boss Gang, what do we do with him?
Quick! Hurry up!
Hurry up! Stop dawdling!
It's been ten years since his lordship commissioned me to watch over this cliff.
No one has been able to escape from me.
Do you them what they call me behind my back?
I'm not interested.
Allow me to inform you. They call me Hyena.
They thought I didn't like this description.
Frankly, I like it very much.
It's an appropriate name. What's bad about hyenas?
One sniff and I can smell rats like you.
It's so easy to bite you to death.
But if the rats are dead,
where is the fun for the hyena?
Your Grace. What should we do?
- Stop dawdling! - What you should do?
You'll know once you head down.
Hurry up! Turn around.
Turn around!
What are you looking at? Get to work!
What are you looking at? Get to work! Hurry up!
The travelers' inn is all booked, except for this one room.
I promised the emperor not to stray far one step away from you.
Hope you'll tolerate it here for one night.
Crown Prince, sleep on this bed. I will sleep on the floor out there.
No. The floor is too cold.
Miss, you can sleep here.
It's just for one night, I won't catch a cold sleeping with clothes on.
Crown Prince, don't worry.
But there's something I have always wanted to tell you.
When the emperor asked you to go to the capital,
he actually didn't know you were getting married. I'm really sorry.
That was what the envoy asked me to say.
But, I'm also curious why you agreed so quickly, Crown Prince.
I didn't want to go to the capital,
but rather, I wanted to leave South Huai City even more.
You're always thinking for others.
You're the kind of person who takes everything to heart.
But what you'll face at the capital will be more dangerous than who you hold in your heart.
I heard that Ying Wuyi's army is already at Revelation City's gate. (Li State's king)
I've seen Ying Wuyi at the battlefield.
Truthfully speaking, I don't know what I can do against someone like him.
Your Highness, you are the Chief Leader of the Heavenly Samurai.
You control the power to safeguard the world.
You know my identity?
Once the identity of Heavenly Samurai's Chief Leader is revealed, all of the rulers in Eastland will know.
But I don't want to get involved in the conflicts among the rulers.
I only wish there isn't war and sacrifices.
His Majesty thinks the same way too.
Your identify must not be a simple palace maid, right?
When you returned to Revelation, you will know.
Please rest early.
Long time no see.
Would you like some tea?
Please sit.
The tea will be done soon.
Where did I see you?
Who are you?
Lei Bicheng of the Celestial Ministry.
It's an honor to meet you, Chief Leader of the Heavenly Samurai.
The Chief Leader is still a child,
but your eyes are full of blood lust.
Suma's death,
although I've avenged it in South Huai City,
but the Celestial Ministry is still my enemy.
I heard about what happened to that girl. It was merely an accident.
Besides, I was far away in Northland and knew nothing about it.
When those that are close to you are dead, even if they are killed by forces of nature,
one still wants to find someone to avenge.
This is the only way to make you feel better.
Isn't that so?
Killed by the forces of nature?
Please have tea.
I like drinking tea
because the tea's fragrance is really wondrous.
It's most fleetingly illusive.
The tea's fragrance that you smell is usually the aroma coming from your own heart.
Along with the changes in your mood,
the tea's fragrance also changes.
Crown Prince, your illness is just like the blood in the teacup.
When the blood dries, life is also finished.
This is a sorcery from the Celestial Ministry.
I do not believe in it.
But your illness is real.
We can't help but worry about it.
Speak, what are you doing here?
The journey is dangerous. I'm only guiding and protecting you, Crown Prince.
You have the God of War's blood, and you wield the Cangyu Guchiu sword.
You are someone who will raise bloodshed.
I am on your side, Crown Prince.
I am a Heavenly Samurai.
You are from the Celestial Ministry.
We are not the same people.
You are all inhuman crazies at the Celestial Ministry.
I will never accept your generosity.
Your body still requires the treatment by the Celestial Ministry.
Otherwise, the blood syncope cannot be suppressed
beyond the soon-to-come deadline.
I advise you not to reject me.
I have a house by the mountain in the capital.
I will be waiting for you there.
Revelation City is right in front of us.
Throughout history, too many people's ambitions have been buried in this city.
But generations after generations of aspiring hopefuls still rush toward the city.
Right now tens of thousands of Li State's soldiers are stationed outside the city.
Within the city there are also 50,000 of the Lord of Li State's Thunder Calvary.
Half of the capital is controlled by the Li State.
The arrival of Heavenly Samurai's Chief Leader will surely arouse much attention.
What can the Heavenly Samurai's Chief Leader do?
A lot.
There are also many people waiting to hear you orders.
But am I really qualified to order them?
If the Chief Leader of the Heavenly Samurai is not qualified,
who else is qualified in this world?
A child wonders on the grassland and finds a sword.
It doesn't mean that he can fight valiantly like the sword's original master.
I am an impudent request.
Crown Prince, please say it.
Stop!
We are ordered to check all the visitors entering the city.
Drop your weapons.
Do you want the person inside the carriage?
We have been informed that the leader of the treasonous Heavenly Samurai Regiment is inside the carriage.
The Lord of Li State is responsible for safeguarding the capital.
We must not allow his kind to enter the capital.
You are not afraid of stopping the wrong carriage?
Who are you?
To the late Emperor, I am his daughter.
To the current Emperor, I am his younger sister.
Who do you think I am?
Greetings, Princess, for your safe return.
Older Brother, what are you so mesmerized n reading?
Lass,
you gave me a fright.
I knew you were coming back today, so I've been waiting for you since early morning.
Let me take a look. Have you been well during the journey?
Thank you, Your Majesty, for your caring. I am just fine.
Furthermore, I successfully completed the mission.
Get up now.
There's no one here.
The Complete Story of the Fierce Dragon.
I didn't know you were interested in these legends and wild tales.
I've read all about the Heavenly Samurai Regiment in the last few days.
But I don't know why, the more I look at it, I feel more afraid.
Afraid?
What are you afraid of?
Sit down, Sister. I want to ask you something.
According to the royal archive, the previous Chief Leader of the Heavenly Samurai killed the emperor.
But this Fierce Dragon story is written in a dramatic style.
It says the previous Chief Leader looks like a gruesome demon.
He sneaked into the palace in a dark night
and killed one hundred royal guards all by himself.
Tell me quickly, what does the new Heavenly Samurai's Chief Leader look like?
This new Chief Leader is from Hanzhou.
Do you think he could be good looking?
He is over 8 feet tall,
about as tall as two of me.
The face is not gruesome, but
he is quite fierce looking.
Over 8 feet tall.
Fierce looking.
It looks that it's a risky move.
So with the Heavenly Samurai's Chief Leader, do you think we can kick out Yin Wuyi?
Older Brother.
I understand your aggrieved situation after waiting all these years.
But you must believe me.
Ever since I saw the Crown Prince in South Huai City, I feel that he is the person that we've been waiting for.
All that talk about 8 feet in height and fierce look, I was just teasing you.
The real Crown Prince seems like a warm person.
But, I believe he is the one who can help you secure your throne.
Fine.
I'm going to see him now.
Older Brother, don't be in a rush.
He's not there now.
When he entered the city, he said that he's going to see a friend.
He will look for me after that.
I also gave him my jade plaque. He will be able to move around freely when he's in the palace.
You brought the Crown Prince into Revelation City,
why didn't you bring him to meet me straightaway?
If you want to make use of the Crown Prince,
you must trust him.
If you trust the Crown Prince, he will trust you too.
I believe the Crown Prince can help us.
Looks like you trust him a lot.
Then I trust him too, because I have the smartest sister in the world.
This is fine anyway.
Before I see him, I can prepare really well.
