Episode 35
Impossible! Impossible!
My plan was perfect!
Gather all the soldiers. Charge again!
Yes!
Defeat is certain.
Your Grace, what did you say?
Defeat is certain.
Your Majesty, maybe you should leave the city as soon as possible.
We shall part here.
Your Grace.
Your Grace, I am still the emperor of the world.
I have hundreds of men willing to sacrifice and countless of gold.
The gold were left behind by Emperor Qiangwei for regaining the political power.
As long as you are with me, we can regroup the samurais from all over the world.
And gather all the loyal overlords together. We can easily retake the Capital City.
By then...by then...
I will grant you land and confer a title on you. You only need to stay by me—
Your Majesty, I plan to cross the ocean and head to east.
To where the Feather people are.
I advise you to let go.
Why do I have to let go?
I've been a puppet monarch for 14 years.
I've been controlled by the treacherous authority for 14 years.
Now I want to control the world.
Your Majesty!
You personally opened the door of chaos.
And this door...
can never be closed again. If there's a chance,
you can still...hold a painting brush in your hand.
To refind your youth and live an ordinary life.
Your Grace.
Even you are leaving me?
Once the birds are gone,
the bow is cast aside.
Guards, kill him!
Ying Wuyi is dead. The Li soldiers have entered Taiqing Palace. We can no longer stay in the Capital City.
- Your Majesty, what do you plan to do? - How many soldiers do we still have? - Barely a thousand.
Give my order, burn Revelation City.
I would rather destroy it by my own hands than give it to the rebels and traitors.
Yes!
I'll get you out of here. I'm the emperor of this world.
Even if we don't get support from all the sixteen states of Eastland,
we can still go to the outlands and use their soldiers to serve me.
Let's go.
Get up.
You want to kill me?
Why?
Why?!
I'm your big brother. I'm your big brother!
You saved me when I was a child by wrapping me inside your yellow robe.
From that day on, I promised myself that
I would live on for you.
For you, I wanted to read all the books and learn about the use of authority.
Only this way will I be able to help you!
Since childhood, I believed that
My whole life's purpose
was to live on for big brother.
But my brother, the Emperor, has become a devil.
With your own hands, you've turned the world into a hell flowing with rivers of blood.
So what the rivers are flowing blood?
They are irrelevant to us.
We're brother and sister!
I can kill everyone.
But you are the only one I cannot kill.
You are my only family.
Go.
Go!
From today on, Revelation City will become a ruin.
No one will be left.
From this day forth,
everything will be resolved.
If I succeed,
I will come see you.
You are still my little sister.
If I fail,
return to Chuwei State to find your mother.
She will give you
a future in my stead.
Big Brother!
- My Lord! - Dad!
- My Lord! - My Lord!
You can all get up. I'm fine.
Stop crying. Stop crying.
I thought I'd never see you again.
I have you to thank. If you didn't insist on having Uncle Xie accompany me,
then you might not have been able to see me this time.
You and Zhang Bo rushed all the way to come save me. I saw it all from the window above.
- You saw? - I did.
Grand Qing Pavilion was burning like hell. I thought I was toast.
Brother Xie was smart.
He wet some curtains in water and wrapped them around him,
and he rushed up into Grand Qing Pavilion and saved him.
No, no, it's My Lord who has nine lives.
Old Xie is really smart,
I'm just coughing pretty hard.
How did you get injured?
I am fine. I am glad you are okay.
Is there much loss of Thunder Calvary?
This city was really difficult to break in.
The attacking team probably lost nearly 10,000.
This was all because I underestimated the Young Emperor.
This is the price of underestimating our enemy.
My Lord, let's gather all the remaining Thunder Calvary.
Even if we have to dig three meters down, we'll have to dig up the young emperor.
No need. It's more important to meet up with our troops outside the city walls.
The Young Emperor has already lost favors from all sides, it's not worth killing him.
And I cannot be burden with the crime of treason.
Maybe that's what some people want to see.
Are you talking about the eldest princess?
That woman hasn't shown her face this whole day.
Right, we did underestimated them.
Dad, let's return to the camp and talk.
Yes, let's go back to the camp.
Go.
His Majesty has returned to Heaven.
Please restrain your sadness, Your Highness.
His Majesty had a brutal death, it's best for her Highness not to look.
His Majesty fought bravely against the traitors, but unfortunately died.
Sir Bicheng, has the culprit that killed the Emperor been found?
The killer is Ying Wuyi.
Your Highness,
it was witnessed by the royal officers!
Your Highness, Ying Wuyi committed regicide.
He deserves to die. Ying Wuyi committed regicide. He deserves to die.
Mother.
Mother! Mother!
Mother.
- Asule! - Asule!
That's the sound of rhinoceros horns.
to announce death. The last time we heard it, it was when Qingyang's Crown Prince died.
Could it that the Emperor passed away?
Reporting!
Grand Qing Palace has sounded the rhinoceros horns.
Princess Bai Lingbo would like to bring a message, the Young Emperor has passed.
How did the young emperor die? The decree said our lord committed regicide.
Any Great Yin that brings in his head will be bestowed with noble ranking.
- I understand. - Now go.
How did that self-aggrandizing First Princess
suddenly become our enemy?
It looks like she has aligned with our old friend.
Are you talking about the State Preceptor?
Don't you think that we're just like chess pieces on a chess board?
Like me, the young Emporer, and the eldest princess.
The one controlling the chess pieces has yet to show their face.
That person seems to be pulling the strings behind the eldest princess.
That sounds like the State Preceptor's usual tactics.
Yes.
Within this game,
the Young Emporer has become the hero that fought against violence.
The half-old First Princess
has now become the hero who wrapped up the chaotic scene.
And I became the one who wanted to take the life of the Emperor.
There's no one left in this whole who can prove my innocence.
Fourteen years ago, there was also a challenger of the throne. He was the chief leader of the Heavenly Samurai Regiment.
I was always laughing at what became of the Heavenly Samurai Regiment,
Now I'm ended up with the same consequence.
We can't stay in Revelation City anymore. The allied army of five states in coming.
Gather the troops. March immediately.
- Yes, My Lord. - Are we returning home?
If we do, we can't avoid confronting the five-state allied army.
Will Li people may lose to devious plots,
but they won't lose on the battlefield!
Still thinking about your slave?
I heard he opened the palace pathway for you.
That was the best memory that the capital left me.
Over one night, the capital city's situation is totally changed.
Everyone is still fooled.
Princess Xiao Zhou, I think you know more than us.
What I know isn't everything, but I can tell you what I do know.
Is it really Ying Wuyi who killed the emperor? I was in Thunder Brave Camp.
He is someone who would dare to kill the emperor. But if he wanted to, he would have already done.
He also didn't want to keep staying in the capital. His ultimate goal was to
march north to subdue more noble lords. That's why he wanted military budget from the emperor.
The person who killed my big brother
is sleeping over there right now.
But why would Asule kill His Majesty?
I saw it with my own eyes.
Crown Prince is the one who killed my big brother.
But it's also not the Crown Prince.
At the time, I heard a weird sound like crows.
I think he's being controlled by someone.
We also got separated from Asule because of the crows!
As of right now, he is easily controlled by sounds.
But what you've said is true.
He will calm down once we play a melody from his homeland.
You gave me this back then.
You play it better than I do.
It's better you hold onto it.
Your Highness, throughout all this time
did you not notice who was the one controlling the crows?
This person could have kept controlling Asule,
until he killed everyone present.
Then no one would have known the king was killed.
But he didn't do so.
Why is that?
It must be a part of his plan.
This person..
This person is someone from the shadows.
We must not let Asule ever fall into his hands.
What's going on?
Who is it?
You all need to quickly leave this place! The assassins
would be able to find this place in no time.
The Grand Princess arrives.
but Ying Wuyi is yet to be beheaded.
Lord Ning has already followed orders and headed towards Shangyang to join the battle.
It is not appropriate to bring forward a new successor at this time. Thus, I will temporarily manage all court affairs.
The barrens lands
will be the place that buries their bones.
So, it was Iron Emperor who helped us to handle the soldiers who were pursuing us.
The capital is in chaos.
I originally planned to retreat to the mountains for a while.
Who knew that I'd run into you all?
Where are we?
If keep going forward a little more, there should be a mountain.
If I am not mistaken, there should be a village where we can rest.
The mountains are usually secluded from any current news, it should be a safe place.
What is it?
He keeps looking at the ancient flute, do you think he remembered anything?
How long as the Clan Leader been in this state?
He's been like this ever since he's returned.
It's like he witnessed some type of shock. He doesn't remember anything.
I hope he can get well soon.
I haven't seek guidance from Iron Emperor.
What happened to the Heavenly Samurai in the capital?
Those who have revealed their identities
have not been able to escape the Grand Princess's assassination.
The organization we have in the Capitol has been annihilated.
This reminds me of someone's technique.
This person has been setting up a checkers game, from the beginning til the end.
Iron Emperor, are you referring to that person from Chenyue?
You are correct, Your Highness.
Whereever he appears,
that place will then become a battlefield.
We need to change before moving forward.
Change clothes?
Change into commoner's clothing.
It's because the Grand Princess will definitely be chasing
the Princess and Clan Leader down.
So, even if the place we are going to is secluded from outside news,
we must be cautious.
I can't believe such a place exists in the mountains.
Legend says that this village exists because of this tree.
It's been a couple hundred years.
The people here do not make contact with outsiders. They say the tree has gods watching over it.
If you have a wish, then just write it on a paper and hang it on the tree. It's quite effective.
Mr. Yi, you've come here before?
I have been here but I have a deep connection with this place.
Don't draw your weapon.
Everyone. Everyone.
We're refugees from the Capitol.
We would like to see the Village Head.
Who is it?
You must be the Village Head.
Have some water.
Here.
It's a poor town. We only have unrefined tea for guests.
Important guest, please do not mind.
You are too courteous.
We are not important guests.
We are just ordinary people who escaped from the troubles in the capital.
My family name is Zhan. I run a small shop in the capital.
The capital is in chaos. The people there can barely make a living.
I'm thinking of coming to the mountain to avoid that.
Fortunately, a few years ago, I bought a small house here.
[House deed]
It's definitely a house deed for this village. Look at this.
The fingerprint at the bottom is mine.
I remember now.
Three or four years ago, an extremely remarkable young person passed here.
He said that the mountain and river here are great.
He wanted to buy a house to live here.
That was my grandson.
He's currently looking at the shop in the capital and didn't come with us.
So that's it.
This is the most expensive and valuable jade in the capital. Please accept this.
Please let us stay here for a period of time.
I feel bad taking this.
It's fine.
The situation out there is very chaotic now.
Once it has died down, we will leave.
I'm old.
Those young people are still ignorant and immature.
They are certain to bring troubles to the village at times.
How's about this? You can feel free to live here.
This is a poor place
but it's still habitable.
It's not a problem to feed a few extra people.
There's also a hot spring here which is suitable for treating illnesses.
You are here at the right time. It's also a good time for harvesting.
A few couples are also getting married in a two days.
Please join us.
Thank you for your hospitality.
What else do we still need to take note of?
The people here are simple and honest.
There are not that many taboos here.
We have some bandits who come every month or two and ransack the place.
But they come and take some things and leave. They haven't gone overboard.
They also know that if they rob us of everything,
this village won't be able to survive and there won't be anything for them to rob again.
Hence, when the bandits are here,
let go and let them rob minor things.
Whatever gold or valuable items, keep them properly.
Thank you, Village Head, for your advice.
Iron Emperor.
There are no Iron Emperor here.
If you want to call me, just call me Grand Uncle.
Okay.
Then what are our identities?
There are too many people here. Let's talk when we are in the house.
Ji Ye, hide the weapons.
Okay.
Okay. In the future, this house
will be a temporary place for us to live in. Remember this.
This house was bought by my grandson called Zhan Bangxi.
My surname is Zhang. People in the Capitol would call me Mr. Zhang.
You are my grandson, Zhang Qunshan.
When the capital was in chaos, you suffered brain damage.
Hence, sometimes, you are sane and sometimes you are clueless. You don't talk.
You are ZhanXiaoyue and good in calculation since you were young.
Hence, you manage the house expenses. You are my grand daughter.
Hence, you grew up with Qunshan.
You must take good care of him from now.
Then what's my name?
You are called Zhang Yu Er, my granddaughter.
You were too lively since young.
Hence, I forced you to learn the zither from a famous teacher.
You and Qunshan are siblings.
Fortunately, they don't have a zither here. If not, my identity would be exposed.
As for you, you are Ji Yun Lie.
You are a descendant of a military family in the capital.
Because your family fell into decline,
But you didn't learn how to wield any weapons.
You lived with us for a long time
and can be regarded as a member of our family.
Ji Yun Lie.
How come I'm the only one that's not a Zhang?
Because you don't really look like us.
Ji Ye, get some water first.
Splash at him.
You were tricked by me.
Splash at him.
Again.
Look at how stupid he is.
You won't be able to splash at me.
You won't be able to get me.
Again.
It's very fun.
Stop avoiding this.
I wonder when Asule will recover.
Every day that he's not well, it hard for us not to worry.
His mood is still not very stable now
but can the nice mountain and water really heal him?
Looks like you need to make a wish at that tree again.
Time to eat.
Let's go. Time to eat.
Go and take a look.
Everyone, it's time to eat.
Remember not to waste any food as it's a crime.
Make sure you eat everything. Does it taste good?
Mr Village Chief.
- It tastes good. - Mr Zhan.
Let's go now.
- Go over there and eat. - Okay.
Try the food in our village.
Everyone here
would eat here daily at the regular time.
Look. It has never changed after all these years.
This is the best.
I can tell Yunlie to help with
the menial tasks in the village and my grand daughters to do some house chores.
If you need them, tell me anytime. Don't regard us as outsiders.
Okay.
Will you grow up if you eat so little? Be careful.
Come, drink more. Hold it properly.
Come, hold it properly.
The guests are here. Let them eat first.
There are chopsticks there. Don't worry.
Thank you.
Be careful, it's hot. Come for more if it's not enough. Let the guests eat first.
Come, try our food.
Hold this properly. There are more.
Here.
Thank you.
Finish everything. Don't waste food.
Okay.
Let Mr Zhan try a bowl.
Okay.
Why do you always eat like a hungry wolf?
We didn't eat our fill when we escaped from the capital.
The food is so fragrant. I'm hungry when I smell it.
- Old Sir. - Mr Zhan.
Have another bowl.
Do you like this place?
The villagers are nice and they are easy-going.
But why ask me if I like this place?
I like it here.
You didn't even finish your food and you already like this place?
What's wrong with it?
Certain people when you meet them for the first time, you can regard them as friends.
There are some places when you just arrive there, you must know that you want to live there.
Moreover, we became good friends on our second meeting.
But the first time we met, we were fighting with each other.
Do you have to talk?
Zhang Qunshan, eat some more.
What's wrong?
My name isn't Zhang Qunshan.
I'm called Asule.
