[Episode 22]
Ji Ye, I hope everything goes well for you in troops at the border.
A man like you will definitely win honors, given the opportunity.
Also, return to South Huai soon.
Yu Ran is waiting for you.
Yu Ran, I will toast for you to always stay happy.
As long as I can see you happy,
it would seem that the world is not in such bad shape.
Good!
Cheers, cheers!
Cheers!
- Waiter. - Yes, Customer.
Do you know the location of Wangshan Bieyuan?
Everyone around here knows that place.
It was the mansion of a senior official. No one lives there now.
You just need to go down this street and you will see it.
Thank you.
Take care.
Pull them up.
It's said that mutton are food for rats and dogs.
How can your little lives be worthy of such a good thing?
We just got the news that there has been a joyous occasion recetly.
Our lord got people to roast a lamb here to celebrate.
What are you still waiting for? Eat it!
Go back to work when you are done eating.
Thank Ganye.
Thank you, Ganye.
May I ask what's the happy occasion?
The Prefecture Princess of Lower Tang is marrying the Crown Prince of Qingyang.
Cut the crap. How does this concerns you?
Still not eating? Want these to be fed to the dogs?
Asule.
Asule married Prefecture Princess Baili?
It's not the Prefecture Princess Baili.
This Prefecture Princess is not the biological daughter of the ruler
but he regards her like his own daughter.
Also, these are your rewards.
It's Prefecture Princess Yu Ran?
Of course.
Crown Prince.
Go back to work when you are done eating.
Yu Ran?
Impossible.
Asule?
Drag him back here.
Where are you going?
I don't believe it. Crown Prince?
Crown Prince? Prefecture Princess?
What has their marriage to do with you?
What game are you playing?
- Crown Prince... - Later,
they will be consummating their marriage.
Why get married if there's no consummation?
Crown Prince?
Prefecture Princess?
I want it too.
Crown Prince, please take a look.
Revelation City has these crisscrossing streets. Do it look like a chess board?
Yes, it does.
It definitely looks like a chess board.
Various power holders have fought here for more than thousand of years.
Every living things in this city are their chess pieces.
If one can stand on the highest point and overlook this from the sky,
the kingdom could be a chess board.
Even the kings are chess pieces.
This is the opinion of Chenyue.
They are chess players and
regard the kingdom as a chess pieces.
I didn't expect you to come so soon.
I have a few questions I would like to ask you.
I will answer if I know.
Older Brother.
We're already two hours into the night. Why isn't the Crown Prince here yet?
He will definitely come.
Older Brother, if you have official matters to do, go back then. I will wait here alone.
What official matters would I have?
All matters are sent to Auntie to decide.
I will wait here.
Butler Liu said that you tried lots of robes.
In the end, you still decided to wear your armor to see the Prince.
If I were to dress formally, then I would be acting as the Emperor of Great Yin, treating him like a servant.
If I were to dress informally, then I would be acting like a friend.
In the end, I decided to wear my armor to meet with him.
My hope is that he'll be a partner who will fight by my side.
We will have to face many battles in the capital city.
When it comes to leadership skills, he cannot compare to you.
but he is innately benevolent.
If your war is just, then he will surely fight with you till the end.
Come and tell me stories about Heavenly Samurai again.
I already told you at the study.
Which do you wish to hear again tonight?
Then tell me the part when they broke into the Shine.
The young man killed those old guys who had been occupying high positions without doing good work.
He held the Blue Cloud Ancient Tooth Sword and fought the Celestial Ministry in a blood bath.
Grand Princess is here.
Aunt.
It's late. Who are you waiting for?
An old friend is here to see me.
I couldn't go to sleep, so I've been waiting here for him.
Since he's your friend, I will wait here with you too.
He is a young man of no importance.
He is not worth your wait.
You are the supreme Emperor.
Even if your friend is a nobody now,
someday, he will go down in history.
The Chief Leader of the Heavenly Samurai will surely go down in history.
There's nothing wrong with you waiting for him here.
You don't need to hide it.
Since Aunt is here, I believe she already knows everything.
In these turbulent times, even Ying Wuyi can trot around the Pure Palace.
What's so great about the Chief Leader of Heavenly Samurai coming here to see Older Brother?
Your Majesty, do you know the real reason why the Heavenly Samurai Regiment was punished?
It was because they killed the Emperor.
Your Majesty, the Duke is here.
- Place it over here. - Okay.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Grand Princess.
So the Lord of Li State is here himself.
I heard about the Chief Leader of the Heavenly Samurai Regiment,
the top warrior in Eastland, and enemy of all people.
As a samurai, of course, I want to meet him.
If he is willing to serve the nation, I should pay him my respects.
If he shows any signs of rebellion,
I will execute him right in this hall.
Your complexion does not look good.
I've stopped coughing up blood.
But I feel myself growing weaker and weaker on this road to the capital city.
I would like to ask you the first question.
How long can I still live?
The past estimate was that you could live till you are twenty four years old
but you unsheathed the Blue Cloud Ancient Tooth Sword.
The soul that was sealed in the sword will affect you life.
If this continues,
you probably won't live past six months.
If I accept the help of the Celestial Ministry.
how long can I live?
I don't know.
You don't know?
The life of an ordinary man is like this firewood.
The fiercer it burns, the less there is left.
A day will come when its light will be extinguished.
Our Celestial Ministry's sorcery can you turn into a bonfire.
As wood is continuously added, the fire can keep on burning through ages.
Sir, are you saying...
You may even become immortal.
But, that way, it will exhaust many firewood.
A lot of people will have to die for you, unfortunately.
Many other people will also live for you, unfortunately.
Didn't you previously receive a gift from Celestial Ministry?
I would like to ask the second question.
You are willing to do all this for me. What do you expect me to do for Celestial Ministry?
Inherit all that I have.
Lead the Celestial Ministry to start a new era.
It's for my bloodline, right?
I would like you to show me what the real savage blood is.
Where do you want to go to see it?
To the place where I first erupted the savage blood.
I cannot recall anything from that day.
Not everything in one's past can be recalled.
I want to recall it.
That day, I lost a very important friend.
Asule, do you still remember this place?
This is when you were sixteen years old.
At that time,
it was the same as hell.
Nanny.
Although it's an illusion but it definitely happened.
No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to change it.
At sixteen, it was the first time that you erupted with the savage blood.
Even though it was because you didn't want to see your childhood friends' humiliation,
the savage blood brought you the anger of a monarch.
The monarch's anger leads to blood flowing for 1,000 miles. - Asule!
The critical point is that your life was at risk at that time.
The erupted savage blood protected you, and you killed everyone there.
The only exception was the girl who couldn't talk,
because no matter how frighted she was,
she couldn't make a sound.
So, she has already known that
I killer her biological sister.
That's right.
She has always been afraid but dares to talk about it.
Do you want to see the girl that died?
Although it's just an illusion
but you can see her face clearly.
There are things that you chose to forget,
but I think, by now, you should have recalled them all.
The first girl that you loved in your life
was not servant girl Suma,
but Longge Qin, whom you called Sister Qin.
At that time, she was the most beautiful girl in the Zhenyan Tribe.
Just looking at the view of her back, you liked her for no reason.
You didn't even understand what kind of feeling it was then.
But, from that moment on...
From that time on,
you firmly close the door to your memory,
because you knew, at the deepest end behind the door,
a 16-year-old boy killed his Sister Qin.
So I am really a demon.
I killed everyone around me.
I shouldn't have lived in this world.
That is truly a savage bloodline.
But it's a monarch's bloodline, a bloodline of the God of War.
Even though it shortens your life,
but if you can use this bloodline wisely,
you can reach an unimaginable level of attainment.
and also kill those who are my enemies!
Isn't that so?
It's a piece of cake.
You want to kill me now, right?
Isn't that so?
You are indeed the Chief Leader of Heavenly Samurai.
Actually, you can recall everything now.
You can only kill me by igniting your crazed blood.
Isn't that so?
Asule.
You are here.
Did you meet the person you wanted to see?
I didn't. I was also delayed
but I still rushed here.
This is the Emperor from Great Yin whom you invited.
This is the Grand Princess.
This is Duke Li.
You came from afar. You had a tough time.
Lu Guichen greets His Majesty.
The person in front of me, is it the Chief Leader of Heavenly Samurai
or the Crown Prince of Qingyang?
I believe whom you want to see,
it's the Chief Leader of Heavenly Samurai.
The Chief Leader just killed someone?
This is interesting.
The Imperial Doctor! Summon him immediately!
Summon the Imperial Doctor now!
How is he?
Speak!
Your Majesty, Crown Prince's illness seems to be a kind of legendary incurable illness
but there's some differences too. I need some time to diagnose it.
We are currently using aggressive medicines to stop his hemorrhage
but he's weak from a recurrence illness.
It's best that he rests for three to five days before he leaves the bed.
Leave.
I arranged a room in Yi Pavilion for the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince is an important and noble guest. He can't stay and suffer in there.
Let him recuperate in the palace.
Your Majesty.
It's not convenient for the Crown Prince to stay in the palace.
Crown Prince is my guest.
I want to keep him within the family's home. Do I need your permission for this?
Your Majesty, there are traces of blood in Crown Prince's sword.
One look and we can tell that he has gone through a death match.
No one knows who he killed.
If we let him stay in the palace, who will bear the responsibility of Your Majesty's safety?
I don't need an outsider to worry about my safety.
Your Majesty, stop throwing tantrums.
Since he's the Chief Leader of Heavenly Samurai, we should be careful.
But he has also fought in the battle field and is an enemy of Duke Li.
If we hand him over to you, it will be hard to ensure his safety.
Could it be that the Grand Princess wants to take him away with you too?
What are you doing?
Let's see who dares to take him away!
Ying Wuyi, do you want to fight in Qing palace?
You unsheathed your sword and you want to fight.
Blades have no eyes. Your Majesty must be cautious.
Thunder Calvary, withdraw.
If Duke Li wants to take away the Crown Prince, no one can stop him here.
But the Crown Prince's health is not good. He needs someone to take care of him.
I'm the only one who's aware of his condition.
Why don't you take me away with him too?
There's only one person in the kingdom who can block my path.
And that is my daughter.
You are the second person.
Since you insist on going with him,
let's leave together then.
Aunt, how can he do this?
You didn't get his drift.
He still wants our military expenses.
Are you willing to give it to him?
Is it worth opening the Imperial family's warehouse for that Chief Leader?
It's a simple room. Hope you can tolerate it, Princess.
Princess, if you need anything, let instruct us.
Other than releasing the Crown Prince, we will accommodate all your requests.
I will be fine with these books for company.
Thank you, General.
I'm leaving.
Save your strength. The day is still long.
I have seen lots of people like you.
Full of anger and desperately fighting.
Do you know what's their outcomes?
They have all died.
There's no need for those people up there to torture you. You will die from exhaustion.
Young man, the priority is still to survive.
This is the way.
Look at what I hid for you.
You didn't take a bite of the meat just now
and was hung up by and beaten by Ganzhou.
It's not worth it.
I don't know when we will see meat again.
Thank you for giving food to me.
Frankly,
so what if I die?
You helped to fulfill a wish for me. I merely have a conscience.
I can't bear to see you die.
Old man, stop joking.
I haven't been here for a long time.
When did I ever fulfill your wish?
I have been here for a long time.
I don't even remember how long it has been.
Too many people died in front of me
but a weak person like me could still survive.
Do you know what's sustaining me?
I desperately want to live. I bowed and scraped to anyone only just for this reason.
I want to escape.
The first time my feet land on the ground,
but before this, I still want to have a full meal.
If you escape today, your food will be given to me.
Let me have your fortune. This is the first time that I have eaten to my fill since I came here.
Young man, if you still want to live, I can show you the way.
Below here is a river
but there are rocks at the bottom.
If you fall on the bottom of rocks, you will die.
If you fall into the deep water, you will live.
Resign yourself to fate.
Do you dare?
Ganzhou controls us and calls us rats.
Frankly, it's not wrong too.
We are criminals under death sentences. We only have a number but not names.
If we are not rats, what are we then?
Frankly, there's nothing wrong with being a rat.
One eats to his fill and the entire family doesn't starve.
There are no worries.
Someone! Save him!
Someone!
Stop shouting. A pack of dogs wouldn't care if a rat lives or dies.
Get back to work.
Start working.
Crown Prince, you are awake.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Where are we?
This is the official residence of Ying Wuyi, the Duke of Li state.
Except that it's not the hall but an underground prison.
Duke Li knows that you are an important person.
He won't let you see His Majesty that easily.
Looks like this capital is also not the place where His Majesty can be the leader.
Even the Princess has been locked up with me.
I'm not a princess.
I'm merely His Majesty's younger sister.
A real princess has a title. You just witnessed it too.
His Majesty sent you as a fake palace lady to receive me and come here
but I really don't know how I can help him.
In any case, I seem to have caused a big problem by coming here.
Please have a good rest for the following days.
We will be released soon. My Older Brother is waiting for you to help him.
There's something I wanted to ask you along the trip but didn't managed to.
Why do you think that I can help His Majesty?
Just because I'm the one who unsheathed the sword?
Not only this.
I also know that you are the most pampered and beloved son in Qingyang.
You are the future successor of Qingyang.
You also have four older brothers who are bold and powerful
but you were the one who saved the Grand Prince from the wolf with a sword.
I think you are someone who can do great tasks.
How did you know all this?
I'm usually bored and would read books.
I read all the historical books. I'm my Older Brother's good assistant.
You have also read books about Eastland.
It's just that the books were written wrongly.
Even the location for the offerings to ancestors is wrong.
We definitely passed by the entrance of the ancient monument on the trip
but that wasn't the battle field where General Su and General Ye fought.
The place where they actually fought at was at Xiu Chen border.
But that's what's written in the Fengyan Archive of One Hundred Battles. I remember that.
This is what's written in the book but it's not so.
Do you know why the two of them fought?
It was due to a woman and a military book.
This volume of Wolf Warrior was the soldlier, Wu Anguo's eight volume.
It's an extremely aggressive, scary military strategy and tactic.
But it disappeared without a trace after that battle.
It was discovered many year later. It is here in the Pavilion of Collected Books.
Where it was discovered, even though it was also a pile of wild rocks,
but it wasn't at the border between Peng State and Chuwei State, but between Xiu State and Chen State.
You knew earlier that I was wrong.
Why didn't you tell me then?
Crown Prince was deep in grief.
The souls of those soldiers will definitely feel the kindness in your heart.
Hence, the record of the location for the offerings is not that important.
Not only are you wise and smart, you are open minded too. I admire you.
Hurry up!
Don't want to live anymore? Hurry up!
Aren't you going to fish up that old man's corpse
and give him a decent burial?!
Why are you shouting? If someone dies every day, are we supposed to fish them out?
If you shout again, I will cut your rope so that you can join him.
What are you waiting for? Start working now!
Lord Sun, don't be angry. This rascal is bold. I'm going to teach him a lesson now.
Someone, check what's going on.
Yes.
Do your job properly. Stop slacking off.
Are you seeking death?
- You better behave. - Jump if you really want to die.
Release me.
Ye'er!
Release me!
Ye'er!
Ye'er, you must live.
Get out!
Ye'er, you must live!
Let's go.
Ye'er!
What are you looking at? Don't want to live anymore?
Gangzhou, remember you must beat the wild dogs to tame them.
But when you are done beating them, you must give them something to eat.
These wild dogs will obey you them.
Yes, Lord Sun is indeed wise.
Lord, you are going back to the capital tomorrow. Let me serve you well tonight.
Let's drink till we drop.
Lord, this way, please.
Hurry up! You!
Hurry up.
