[Novoland: Eagle Flag] [Based on a fiction by Jiang Nan]
[Episode 37]
I want to know what's happened.
Mr. Yi is right.
The more you remember, the more painful it'll be.
I don't want to bring up the bad stuff.
But no matter if they are happy memories or unhappy ones,
they are all things that have happened to me.
I can't escape it.
So, no matter what happened,
you can normally use your heart to see it, right?
I promise you, no matter what's happened in the past, I won't go after it.
But I must know what really happened.
You lost your memory . . .
It's because . . .
Oh, it's Crown Prince and Her Highness.
I heard something outside and thought the bandits were here.
So I came to check.
We also heard some noises outside.
It turned out to be two wolves fighting.
It's cold. Mr. Yi and Crown Prince should head inside to rest, the sooner the better.
Aiyah.
Wait for me. I want to play too.
Come here. Come here. Hang this up.
You can't look at it.
Ok, I won't.
Not this branch. That branch up there.
Higher up.
Wait for me.
Hurry up!
Be careful.
- Is it this? - No, the one one this side. This side.
That's the one. That's high up.
Yu Er.
Mr. Yi
When you and Ji Ye were in Nanhuai, you were old friends?
No, I wasn't born in Nanhuai.
No wonder.
The other night I saw you dance.
It didn't look like a dance from Xia Tang.
Could it be from the grasslands?
Does Mr. Yi think I'm also from Qingyang?
You've experienced so much. How could you guess incorrectly?
I'm actually . . .
Is what?
There's no harm in telling you.
Let me tell you a secret.
I'm actually an orphan Lord Bai Li picked up outside his window.
Bandits are coming! Bandits are coming!
This is bad.
- Bandits are coming! - Don't pick it up anymore!
Help him. Bandits are here.
- What's happening? - Hurry and hide. The bandits are coming.
- Bandits? - Hurry!
They are here to steal the gains for this year.
Go hide! Quickly!
Over there, quick!
Hurry, run.
Run, run, run.
Run now!
This way.
Hurry up!
Don't panic! Quickly!
Quick. Go! Go!
Go!
Go over there.
Don't leave.
Kneel.
I'm here to impose on the village again.
Although we know you don't want to see us,
if we bandits don't come out to loot, we'll starve to death.
All of you are our mothers and fathers for now. We won't harm you.
Just do as per norm.
Dear Sirs, I have something to say.
I hope that Shopkeeper Li will leave us with enough grains to last the winter.
- Little girl. Don't be afraid. You must be an outsider. - Who is it?
Every time I've come here, how come I've never seen you before?
- Good. - Let go of me!
Let me go or I will scream!
Go ahead and yell. Yell!
- Let me tell you. No one's going to come and save you. - Help!
- Save me! - Your village... If it wasn't that our Shopkeeper Li pities you,
it would've vanished long ago.
- Be good and listen to me. - Help!
Help!
Save me!
This year, the situation outside is very chaotic.
There was huge chaos in Revelation City.
Village Leader, did you hear about it?
We are a poor country village.
We only want peace in the village. We don't dare to ask whether the world is peaceful or not.
Village Leader, I envy your life.
But we are people who get our food with our knives.
Chaos is good news to us.
I want to take my brothers out to investigate on the mountains.
Whether or not we can meet again next fall
is difficult to determine.
Shopkeeper Li, you want to be someone with outstanding morals and achievements?
New people have come to the village?
Why would there be anyone new?
How can there be anyone new? Oh, this kid. He was born in the village.
A few years ago, he went to the Capitol to do business.
The Capitol is in chaos now.
Since he can't do business, he returned to our village.
The eyesight looks sharp.
Do you want to go to the chaotic world to make a living?
No, don't. How can he go there?
He couldn't even make a living in the capital.
Forget it. I know that you watch over your villagers very closely
but these brothers of mine are leaving the mountain to join the army.
The expenses for the sending off and food should be borne by the people here.
We are here today to seek seek gratuitous financial help and leave half of it behind.
We won't keep any balance for this year.
Food and protection to get through the winter.
- What do you think? - This...
Come here.
The brothers came out in too much of a hurry.
They are still hungry.
This way, please. Hurry.
Everyone, get up.
Get up now.
Otherwise, we're all dead. Hurry up.
Iron Emperor, wouldn't the both of us be able to kill these bandits?
We can but after killing them, we still need to find a new place to live temporarily.
Chenyue and Grand Princess' spies are everywhere in the kingdom.
They won't care about the two of you.
But as for Her Highness and Crown Prince, they'll definitely kill them.
Oh-oh.
Little Zhou and Asule are still in the house.
Asule.
Asule. Asule.
What should we do?
It's okay.
Yu Ran, take Her Highness inside.
- Yi'er, don't let him see blood. - Okay.
- Let's go. - Hurry.
Asule, sit down.
- Asule. - It's okay.
Yu Ran, keep a good eye on them.
Did the princess receive any humiliation?
She should be okay.
Something's fishy about this dagger. It should be forged in the capital.
Let's not talk about this first. I'm sure the bandits have contact with the outside world.
Otherwise, this village wouldn't be able to support them.
So we can't let them know that this bandit was killed.
That's right.
Take care of this corpse and clean up the area quickly.
Okay. Leave it to me.
One's dead. The bandits won't let this village get away with it.
I'll go see the Village Head first.
Okay.
Mr Zhan, you are here just in time.
Li Zhanggen suddenly just returned again.
He said one of his brothers is missing and he wants us to produce him.
I really don't know what we should do.
You are an experienced man. Help us to handle this.
Bandits come and go. Sometimes, there's more of them, and sometimes, there's fewer of them. It's nothing out of the ordinary.
In my opinion, Li Zhanggen insisted that he lost his man here.
Furthermore, he won't let us off. He will definitely watch closely on what we have here.
Village Head, what are their demands?
He wants us to provide three unmarried women.
Li Zhanggen, that scoundrel.
He's in lust.
We can't give them our own daughters and send them to their deaths.
You are right.
Looks like we can do any offerings to the God of Plague for this year. We can only do this.
Everyone, listen up.
All able bodied men, set up wooden fences and road blocks.
The rest of the women are to knit threads for ropes.
No matter what, we must not let Li Zhanggen destroy our village.
Okay, go and prepare now.
Let's go. Take these along.
Hurry.
They're people from the Capitol, aren't they?
Yes.
It was two orphans that my brother took care of in the Capitol.
They recognized me so they helped me.
Then where are those two kids now?
They ran off.
They won't sell us out. Mr. Yi, you don't have to worry about them.
Right now, the one I'm worried about is Crown Prince.
Don't think too much about it.
First, have something to eat. You haven't eaten anything all day.
It's our fault today.
We were too careless so something like this happened.
Help! Help!
Help!
Asule.
Asule, help me!
Help me.
Asule, help me.
Help!
You shouldn't stay here. Leave.
Hurry, run!
It's cold out here. Don't catch a cold.
Why did you get up?
You should rest.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect you today.
You don't have to tell me sorry.
You've kept me safe many times in the past.
Yesterday, you asked me what happened in the past.
Although I promised to tell you,
I'm afraid that it'll hurt you.
Were there bad things that happened in the past?
Yes.
That's why I'd rather have you live a carefree life like now.
I don't want you to remember any of the bad stuff.
But you're right. No matter if it's good or bad,
it's a part of you.
I should tell you.
What happened in the past? Perhaps, I may be able to remember them.
I may not be able to remember them in my life time too.
But what happened now, I believe I will never forget it.
I won.
Lord, you have greatly improved in chess.
What do you mean, improvement?
(You're thinking about something else). Your mind isn't here.
What are you thinking about?
I have been here for a few days.
Yet I have been stalling my troops.
I don't know what you thinking of inside your facade.
I brought South Huai's best wine, South Huai Moon Wine.
The last time we drank together was 7 years ago.
Today, I will accompany you to the end.
After tonight, I won't drink anymore.
Do you know how many people are waiting to see you, the best general in Eastland,
how you fought against Ying Wuyi?
Xiangyang Gate is not a battle stage. Ying Wuyi and I are actors too.
Once this show begins, it is certain that a bloodbath will happen.
I'm afraid that by then, there won't be many people who will really dare to watch.
When we first met Ying Wuyi at Qiuyeshan city,
We both know that one day, this person's red flags and hunting horses
will be drawn into the capital of Eastland.
From that moment, I knew that I would definitely battle with this person.
Back then...
Back then, we were all alone and nameless.
We all thought of opening a flower shop in the Capital City.
And be living idle and comfortable lives of luxury.
Who would have thought that we would become reputable generals?
Now it's even a dream to fight a simple and good battle.
The face off between heroes that we want is nothing more than a plot set forth by others.
You and I are both aware that this battle
is merely a trap that the royal family planned for the officials.
Since you already knew it was a trap, why did you come?
The world is a game of chess.
We both know who is behind this.
I want to find the crazy Celestial and destroy the chess game.
That has nothing to do with me.
I've long left Tianqu.
Back then when we broke up, you already knew about it.
I am Chuwei State's general.
My duty is to stop Li State's incursion.
I'm neither with Tianqu or Chenyue.
Now that we serve different masters, we should avoid meeting privately like this.
I knew you were going to say that.
But as old friends for so long,
actually hearing you say that with my own ears,
still makes me feel a twinge of sadness.
Back then, you and I really were the best of friends.
I will never forget the title of Plain Moon Black Feathers.
But we face the realities.
Even though the current Xi Yan is not my enemy,
is no longer my friend.
Here you go.
Do you think this can really stop the bandits?
When I was at Thunder Brave Camp, I learned how to secure a camp.
If we raise these barriers up higher,
There shouldn't be a problem.
Looks like they really taught you a lot of things.
They... They really did teach me a lot.
Before, in Lower Tang State, I thought that people in Li State were murderous beasts.
But, at Thunder Brave Camp, everyone is the same. We were all bests.
There was no difference between us.
Unlike the soldiers in Lower Tang, who thought I was different than them.
Do you just want to be a Li State person that much?
If you become a Li State citizen, you have to listen to that Prefecture Princess's commands.
What if she asks you to kill me? Would you kill me then?
No— I don't mean it like that.
No matter who I fight for or which military camp I am in, I will always be Jiye.
I don't care. I won't allow you to see her again.
Okay.
If you dare to meet her again, I'll get mad!
I won't let you go even if I turn into a ghost.
Oh.
What do you mean, "oh"? You always say that every single day.
Even if you think for half a day, you won't be able to say any pretty words.
I really don't know what I liked about you.
If there weren't the bandits, I'd want to live in this little village for ever.
I like this ginkgo tree.
If I have any wishes, I can hang a ribbon on the tree for it.
That way, the tree god will know what I wished for.
But here, there isn't any of the delicious food and fun things to do you like from Xia Tang.
Can you get used to living here?
Of course, that depends on who I'm living with.
Actually, have you ever thought, the important things in the world involve Asule and Little Zhou,
but have nothing to do with you and I.
If you were born in this little village and I was born in this little village,
then we would be a pair of wild children who grew up together in this village.
I think if we lived like that, we would have blessed lives too.
Let me ask you something.
If you could stay for ever with me in this little mountain village,
would you be willing to?
Say something!
Don't just smile dumbly. Say something!
I...
I got it.
Since you're not saying anything, you must want to find that— That Prefecture Princess Yu.
Big baddie! Big baddie! Big baddie!
I'll beat you to death!
That's not it— I was wrong!
I'll speak. I'll speak.
What are you saying?
You're so heavy.
- I hate you! Big baddie! - Sir Ji.
Sir Yi.
Sir ji, come over here.
- Village Leader. - I have something I want to ask you to help.
Originally, these matters shouldn't bother an outsider like you,
but I see that you are someone with responsibility that i can hand matters over to.
Village Leader, if there's anything I can do, just tell me.
We discussed with Mr Zhan yesterday.
We want to build a fort for safety and fight the bandits.
This is an urgent task. We need someone to take people into the mountains as quickly as possible.
To cut the best woods to erect a wooden fence.
But the people in the village don't know how to do these things.
I think that you are the most suitable person.
Village Leader, you want me to lead the group into the mountains?
That can't do, Village Leader. He has bad stamina.
He's all over the place when he does his own work. How can he lead the group?
You should find someone better.
But the youths in the village are weak and don't know how to do anything.
At critical times, they can't do anything.
It's not easy to be the village leader.
I can complete this task.
But, Village Leader, I still need enough axes and rope
and about 10 youths or so.
Village Leader, you must appoint someone on high ground to be in charge of looking out for us.
Once the bandits come, they should strike a bell as a warning
and have the entire village be ready with bows and arrows.
If all of this is accomplished, I can assure that the bandits won't be able to come in.
Since you say that, I can rest assured.
With you and Mr Zhan here, would we still be afraid of any troubles?
How about this? I'll call over some people. Let's meet beneath this ginkgo tree.
To not be late, how about heading out today?
Okay.
Let's go.
How come you agree to anything so easily like that?
The bandits causing trouble here more or less involves us.
So, just let me resolve this.
He's just thinking that you're easy to bully. That's why he wants you to go.
The village chief is actually right.
In this chaotic time, if you don't build your own security, it's difficult to stay alive.
Don't you like it here?
Then let's just resolve this trouble
and peacefully settle down here.
Have some water first.
Be careful.
Help me with this.
Here.
We're going to find herbs.
It has been tough for you.
Take note of your safety.
Young lad, we will have to trouble you then.
Come, catch up.
Okay.
I seem to possess an extremely formidable sword.
What did Little Zhou tell you?
What's wrong?
The weather's too cold. I'm going to get some clothes.
Is it cold?
Miss Yu Ran, you must be tired.
Drink this hot soup.
Thank you.
It's so fragrant.
It's very delicious.
Sir, where are we going?
Sir, where are we going now?
Ji Ye is at the back of the mountain cutting wood. He lacks manpower. We are going to help him.
I brought you here
to talk to you.
Sir, what do you want to tell me?
Crown Prince, you have been able to recall many things lately
but you can't remember who I am. Isn't that so?
Fine. Let me tell you some of the truth.
You have another identity.
The Chief Leader of Heavenly Samurai. You are also my leader.
When you unsheathed the Blue Cloud Ancient Tooth Sword,
I was inspired and afraid too.
Because of that,
you also are the keeper of the sword.
But, you were determined that the Heavenly Samurai could not be aligned with any authoritative power
and could not even touch a single blood of injustice.
If you could continue to be foggy-minded,
perhaps you and I could coexist without problems.
A pity that
you have started to regain your memories.
Once you have recovered your memories,
there's already a point of no return for me.
Crown Prince, you are so gentle and softhearted, and therefore cannot lead the Heavenly Samurai,
while I have devoted my entire life to the Heavenly Samurai.
Sir, you want to kill me?
That's right.
No matter how you see me, I'm going to commit the greatest treason
by taking back this Blue Cloud Ancient Tooth Sword and kill you.
Stop!
Little Zhou.
Iron Emperor, if I'm right, you remembered everything that happened in the capital.
If Crown Prince remembers everything,
how will you be able face the Heavenly Samurai in the kingdom?
Princess Little Zhou shouldn't have come here.
We have no grudges between us.
A pity that today, I must eliminate the both of you.
Do you think you can really kill us?
Asule, you said that you will protect me.
Son, in our night blood, there lies a demon.
Enemies are afraid of us and family members fear us. This is your life.
In life and death, you can't escape from your fate.
The awakened Crown Prince will ignite the world.
Iron Emperor,
Asule is still a kid.
Are you forgetting the Heavenly Samurai's original principle?
If he really awakens,
he will be the savior who will save the world.
I'm begging you. Spare him.
I really hope that he's who you said.
a weak and feeble Chief Leader
who will save the chaotic world.
Lord.
Emperor Qiangwei's banner pole was erected at this fort back then.
I have been thinking.
that seven hundred years later, I would actually bring it back.
Look, My Lord. Another one of the states' commanding generals must have arrived.
But this formation doesn't look to be a military commander.
