Brother xuehu
your highness
we're alone here. There's no need for formalities
my father, our king, once said to me
these swords are the reason for our greatness
the kingdom of yan was born from the blood of great yan warriors
the battle tomorrow...
Will you promise to watch over my father?
The first time I fought at your father's side,
I was just a boy
thousands of men lost their lives that day
it was your father's sheer determination, his bravery...
That led us to victory
and saved our kingdom
he was like a god on the battlefield
do you really need to worry about a man like that?
Your majesty, the enemy approaches!
Doctor...
Your highness...
Can I pass a message to your family?
My son... he's only five...
I'll tell him his father was
the bravest warrior I've ever seen
Attack!
Charge!
Your majesty...
What happened? I don't know
the king is injured!
Your majesty...
Help the king inside! Hurry!
Your majesty...
Your highness, you are needed in the king's quarters!
Doctors, how is my king”?
His condition is very serious
any sudden movement could put his life at risk
say no more
lord hu, the battlefront needs immediate attention
perhaps my lord should lead the counterattack?
I've decided to relinquish my command
to...
Muyong xuehu
my king
defeat the zhao army
for me
yes, sire!
Go... counterattack immediately!
Yes, sire...
Xuehu
my king
please. Don't try to speak. Rest assured, my king
we will win this battle!
I know, xuehu...
You've faced stronger foes before
and triumphed
it's the hidden enemies
that I worry about...
The ones you don't see coming
my king, I will not fail you
go now
gol!
How is my father?
Your highness
his majesty is badly injured. You must go to him
what should we do?
We have to fight back now. Take good care of his majesty
Father feiler
when xuehu returns,
give my swallow sword to him
he will take care of the great kingdom of yan...
And you
but you'll be fine
Move in!
Retreat!
What do you want?
How could you not make me the commander?
Do you know how many men you've lost?
They're soldiers. They expect to die!
They're soldiers, but also husbands and fathers
they willingly risk their lives
so their children may live in peace
they should not be made to suffer for
our personal ambitions!
Then you should not entrust our fate to a bastard orphan
he may be an orphan,
but the people of yan are his family
and this country is his home!
But I am your nephew
we are of the same blood
yet everything you do...
Each battle you fight serves only your own ambitions!
You're wrong about me
I've done everything
for the great kingdom of yan
I alone can make this kingdom strong
not in the name of ambition
but glory
Father!
My king...
Before leaving for battle,
his majesty left clear instructions
that should he die...
He is to be succeeded by muyong xuehu
Minister teng, is this some kind of joke
or is my hearing worse than I thought?
How can we allow an orphaned bastard
to rule the great yan?
Diao erbao!
You will speak with respect!
Is that a threat?
Who's afraid of an administrator like you?
There will be no fighting in the hall of swords!
Diao erbao,
do you intend to disobey his majesty's will?
If that was truly his majesty's last wish,
no one would dare to disobey
but judging from
what I can gather,
we have only your word
to go on
lord hu,
are you questioning my integrity?
We will obey
his majesty's commands.
Not yours!
Before his death,
his majesty entrusted his swallow sword to me
he instructed me to... Your servant understands!
His majesty wished to appoint the Princess as his successor!
Muyong and the soldiers of yan
pledge loyalty to your highness
until our dying breath!
My Princess loves her people
as the rightful holder of the swallow sword, she will unite us all!
But the successor must be male!
Her highness was entrusted
with his majesty's sword!
Who knows
if his majesty
was in his right mind...
Disrespect his majesty again,
and you will die!
Generals!
Your swords are for the enemy, not each other!
The great yan was born on the battlefield
each king was a supreme warrior
my Princess is beautiful but perhaps too delicate
can she really be expected
to lead an army and defend our land?
I may not yet be up to
the task of commanding an army...
But the blood of kings roars through my veins!
I will not disappoint my ancestors, my country or my people!
From this day forth,
I will undergo military training
I pledge to behead the next enemy
who dares to invade yan with my own hands!
Teng bochang yes, your highness
until my training is complete, all affairs of the state are under your command
anyone who disobeys shall be executed!
As your highness commands!
My lord, can the Princess
really be an effective leader?
The idea of a female ruler
is ridiculous!
I won't let her destroy the honor of the great yan!
Why didn't you tell the truth?
My father anointed you his successor
do you really think the army will follow me into battle?
I appreciate my king's wishes
but you are the only one
who can unite us and bring peace to the region
I wish my father were still alive...
Don't be afraid
do you promise to stay by my side?
I promise to turn you into a proper yan warrior
I didn't know the Princess could fight so well
Your highness...
Come on! Attack!
Get up!
Remember this...
A yan warrior will choose death
before accepting defeat! Get up!
Brother xuehu, are you really leaving
for army camp tomorrow?
Yes! I must follow my king's example
and become a brave warrior. When I grow up,
I will protect you and the great yan
brother xuehu is good to feier and feier loves you
this stone carries good luck
and will protect you until your return
Why are you still tending the horses?
Finish quickly and get some rest!
Sir...
There is something I need to say
it's for the person I've been calling brother xuehu
when I was little, he used to take me riding,
hunting and fishing
those were the happiest days of my life
lately, he's had to scold
and even punish me
but I know that, despite his rough exterior,
he cares about me
everything he does
is for my benefit
I want him to know that
I won't disappoint him
Weak arms slow arrows! Practice it again 1,000 times!
I want the Princess to disappear
when she misses her coronation,
all the blame will fall on muyong.
The Princess has disappeared
while under muyong's watch. He must be punished!
This is no time to point fingers
I agree with minister teng
perhaps muyong
had no part in this
we mustn't jump to conclusions
perhaps her highness knew
the military would never
follow her orders
perhaps she staged
her own disappearance
Once general muyong locates her highness,
the truth will be revealed!
Your highness...
My lady!
Calm down! I'm here to help.
Who are you?
A doctor... you were struck by a poison dart
where am I?
This is my home
you are safe here
I must get back!
My lady!
You should be resting right now. You haven't fully recovered from the poison
they'll be looking for me. I have to go
my lady...
I told you, you haven't fully recovered yet. One more word from you
and I'll hand you over to your enemies
You need to take this medicine for 3 days
You can leave as soon as you've recovered
What's your name?
Duan lanquan
I'm yan feier
thank you
Your highness...
Yan feier!
Come, I'll change your bandages no!
The dressing needs changing once a day
otherwise you'll begin to itch
I said no!
If I wanted to take advantage of you,
I would have done it last night
say no more!
I'll change the dressing myself
Hurry!
It itches...
Hurry!
Don't look! How can I do it without looking?
Just don't look too closely!
Hurry!
Close your eyes. Look away!
How can I change the dressing with my eyes closed?
Just close your eyes!
Don't move!
What are you doing?
Hush! I'm trying to be quick...
Turn the other way!
I forbid you to look!
Close your eyes!
There! It's done!
Are you certain she was hit with a poison dart?
Yes!
Go to the valley and await further instructions
not long ago...
Her highness made a pledge inside the hall of swords
she vowed to complete her training
before taking the throne
but now,
she has deserted her post in the army
the Princess has abdicated!
That is a groundless accusation!
If yan feier cannot fulfill her promise,
our country will need a new ruler
Duan lanquan...
Eat what you can
Yuck! This is terrible
yan feier...
How was breakfast?
Excellent. But I' m not very hungry...
Thanks anyway
I just made something that might interest you
it's called, "no need for a good man"
it's for you
"no need for a good man"? What is it?
Use it to scratch your back if it feels itchy, you won't need my help
hey! Where are you going?
I have to pay the queen a visit the queen?
Care to join me?
Ahhhh. You were referring to a queen bee
yes, this rare species of bees
produces honey
with miraculous healing properties
they don't normally bite. Not unless they're scared
When this honey is added to my remedy,
the medicine will be twice as effective
taken on its own, it can also improve your complexion
here... try some
It's delicious!
Can I pick some?
Sure
but move gently and slowly
Watch out!
Don't panic! Slow down!
I'm coming
put on my hat
run!
Try some
alright
What do you think? Delicious
you should leave the army and become a cook
I'm not a good cook
it's just that you're a bad cook
it doesn't matter if I cook badly
I only have one mouth to feed
don't you have a family? They're all dead
mine too
Are you from the south?
We all eat, sleep and breathe the same air
everyone is part of the same large family
family? This family has been at war ever since I can remember
we've never had more than a few days of peace
then why did you join the army?
When the country is in crisis, every man...
And woman must do their part
the country is not in crisis; The country is sick
what do you mean?
I have no medicine for the sickness
where the strong bully the weak
in endless warfare
it's civilians who suffer the most
so your solution is to live alone,
away from everyone else?
War...
Never brings peace. It only brings suffering
You should sleep now
the more you rest,
the sooner you will heal
The new moon sword?
Does this mean there are survivors?
The ten kingdoms eradicated the new moon warriors
10 years ago!
What are we making? What is all this cloth for?
When you've finished sewing, our mission will be accomplished
what am I making? Why won't you tell me?
It's meant to be a zhuge lantern! A zhuge lantern?
This big?
It has to be big enough to fly a man into the sky
you're dreaming!
Men need to first dream before dreams can come true!
Dreams can come true?
This lantern needs lots of hot air to fly into the sky
but I've discovered a substance in the mobei desert
it can be refined into a powerful powder
when the time comes, just ignite it and...
Boom! Up you go!
If you're so high up, what happens if you fall?
I've never thought about that
But just imagine...
Crystal blue skies and puffy white clouds
all at your fingertips!
Reach out your hand out and literally touch the heavens
you could live up to your namesake, yan feiler
a swallow flying free in the sky...
Wouldn't that be amazing?
When can we try it?
It's not done
I'm afraid there isn't time why not?
Your wound is almost healed
you can leave tomorrow
oh, yes... I must return as soon as possible
you want to see something really beautiful?
What is it?
Follow me. It's up here...
Is this a paradise?
This is what life can be...
Without the horrors of war
look...
Oh, he's adorable!
The young... the weak...
All god's creatures deserve a chance to live
Remember to change your bandages daily
there's a container of honey inside
remember to take it in the morning and evening
if your wound itches, use "no need for a good man"
there's also a map inside so that you won't get lost
thank you. I will always remember your kindness.
The more you rest,
the sooner you'll heal...
Now go to bed!
Hey! Are you asleep?
I was...
Until you started making so much noise
what's the matter?
I can't sleep
I'm too excited about going home tomorrow
and you? The last few days have been exhausting
I can't wait
to return to my quiet life
as soon as you leave tomorrow
go to sleep now
the more you rest, the sooner you will heal...
You've been saying that all day long
Yan feier!
Shall I see you off?
Head straight along the river
you'll recognize the way home
promise me something
finish your lantern
and fly to see me
in yan
It's my men!
Brother xuehu!
Long live your highness...
Forgive your servant for his late arrival please rise
brother xuehu,
meet doctor duan. He saved my life
thank youl!
My Princess, we must hurry yes
prepare a horse for the Princess! Yes, sir!
I didn't hide my identity on purpose
your highness,
I'd love to help
but I'd rather be
the feier that you know...
A swallow that
flies free in the sky
You should go now
remember to keep your promise
I can't make promises
just to fly...
Is already too much for one man to hope for
take care
Perhaps we should rest awhile
no. Let's keep pushing forward
Sir... your highness!
What happened?
The zhao army has launched an attack!
Our troops fought back, but we suffered considerable losses
let's ride!
The Princess has returned!
The Princess is back...
Her highness has returned...
Hu ba refused to mobilize his troops
unless I handed over
the swallow sword
and gave up the throne
I refused to bow down
and took command of the remaining troops
this is outrageous!
How do we stand?
The zhao army has 10,000 men
we have 2,000
with those numbers... The longer the battle lasts
the greater our disadvantage
we must also consider hu ba and his men
what shall we do? Let the enemy quietly know
her highness will lead the troops
when the zhao forces try and capture her highness,
we will be waiting
to ambush them
but this would put the Princess in grave danger!
I vowed in the hall of swords to defend yan against any invaders
tomorrow, I will lead the men!
Protect her highness with your lives!
Retreat at the first sign of danger!
Yes, sir...
My king father, I hear Princess feier is in command of the yan army!
Why isn't muyong xuehu leading them?
They're fighting amongst themselves
by sunset,
zhao shall rule
everything under the heavens!
Today, we fight with...
Strength and courage
we fight to the death!
Long live her highness...
The man who captures the yan Princess
shall receive a thousand pieces of gold!
Be sure zhao wu follows you into the woods
do not worry
archers! Ready...
Infantry! Stand by...
Go! Don't let them outflank us!
All of you, head to the woods. Hurry!
The Princess is there! Capture her!
Protect her highness!
Protect my king! Attack!
Nol
your highness! You must kill him!
Father!
If you must take a life, take mine!
Let me pay the price for invading yan
but spare my father
go away! Father...
Come on!
End it!
Do it quickly!
The future king of zhao shall avenge my death!
I can kill you,
but can I kill every man in zhao?
Our kingdoms
have been at war for years
thousands of lives have been lost
your father king, my father king...
So many of our beloved ancestors...
Thousands of soldiers...
And what have they died for?
Vengeance! Vengeance?
Is there a reason now for hatred between your son and myself?
Our kingdoms should no longer be at war
you may leave with your father
stand down!
Let's go
Your majesty your majesty, what do we do now?
Retreat...
Long live her highness...
By royal decree...
Diao erbao and the other twelve officers
have been found guilty of
deserting their posts and defying orders
they are to be stripped of their titles
and demoted three ranks
hu ba, who abused his role
as yan's commander-in-chief,
has been found guilty
of conspiracy and treason
his crimes cannot be pardoned
he is to be stripped of his title and powers
and banished forever from the hall of swords!
This is just one battle
our war
remains unfinished...
My lord,
I've concocted
a most deadly poison
for which there is no antidote
if your poison had worked the first time,
my lord would already be king!
No antidote?
None
do you know the formula?
Yes, my lord. Yes I do!
Start making a large amount
A flood in taiyue mountain
has destroyed many villages
the refugees are hungry...
Perhaps we should send troops immediately
should we send relief?
Your highness
your highness
Your highness
your highness!
Should we send relief?
Yes. Send food and water immediately
general muyong, take charge of the deployment
minister, are there further matters to discuss?
Your coronation will take place the day after tomorrow
regarding the arrangements...
Our troops have suffered tremendous casualties. Our people are hungry
now is not the time for grand ceremonies
keep it simple
Yes, your highness
thank you all for your part in a great yan victory
dismiss
It's like old times. No matter where I hide...
You know how to find me
I know this is a beautiful view,
where one can think clearly and freely
when I was little,
I only thought how high these palace walls seemed
I never once thought about what might be on the other side
now that you've seen beyond these walls...
I know there's another way of looking at things
nothing is the same
once you've seen it from high above
is it crazy
to think a man can fly?
I have no idea why I believe everything that fool says
he's not a fool
he's a new moon warrior
new moon warrior?
My father mentioned the name once
it's a forbidden topic for yan
and the other nine kingdoms
it's a past we'd all like to forget
they were the most feared warriors in all the lands
they never lost a single battle
the ten kingdoms felt threatened...
Every new moon warrior, be it man woman or child, was killed
He alone survived...
It may be a chance
for him and me being together
officials and generals,
by this decree,
yan feier has abdicated
muyong xuehu
And teng bochang
shall rule
the yan together
your highness...
From this day,
yan feier will no longer interfere in the affairs of state!
God bless my country!
Brother xuehu...
You are the daughter of a great warrior king
it is your duty, your honour,
to follow in his footsteps
my father wanted you to have the swallow sword
he chose you. Not me
this is your homeland!
How can you turn your back on your people?
If my country needs me, I am prepared to die for it
so there's nothing in yan
that would keep you from leaving?
There is...
And it will always have a place in my heart
Goodbye, brother xuehu
feierl
take care!
Duan lanquan feier
take me with you! I want to fly!
Hurry!
I'll throw you a rope!
Here, grab it!
Climb higher, quick!
Wait for me!
Untie the rope
and turn the plank this way!
Hurry! Feier
It's so beautiful
I didn't expect to see you again
I only came back
because I ran out of honey
where were you going?
You want the truth or the lie?
It's up to you
the lie is, I missed you and...
I was going to fly in search of you and the truth?
The truth is,
I was coming to find you
so that we could take the first flight together
Feier
don't catch cold
General!
I've just received word
that hu ba mobilized his troops
and left the royal city
that traitor!
Hu ba plans to lay siege to the city!
If civil war erupts,
the kingdom of yan will be ruined!
Her highness has abdicated!
We must maintain stability!
Look! I found one!
This lingzhi is a rare medicinal plant
it's not common to find them in these parts
let's separate and see who collects the most
I'll go this way! Alright
So, a friend from afar has come to visit
you can bury this sword
but not your past
new moon warrior
I'm just an ordinary man
make the first move! Why must you force my hand?
If you're afraid to fight,
you do not deserve feier!
I'm done with killing. Why did you come?
A man does not bear arms for the sake of killing
but to protect the things he values and loves most
yan is no longer safe
take feier away from here, the further the better
thank you
Gol...
Surround them...
This is mutiny!
You'll share the same fate as teng bochang!
You will pay for this!
I'd like to see you try
Sir, we can't stay here
it's a trap!
Kill them all!
Let's leave
the brothers are waiting for us at jigongshan!
Take the swallow sword and leave!
Leave now! Archers!
Retreat...
Sir, go now...
Close the gates! Hurry!
Open up...
What are you doing?
Sir, go now we leave together!
Open the gates! Let me in!
Take the swallow sword
and gather our men!
Sir, go now!
I won't desert you!
We die together!
Sir aojia
don't let our deaths
be in vain.
Feier
there's something I wanted to tell you
I already know
the feud between new moon warriors and yan
is in the past
what I care about is our future
general muyong came to see me today
he did?
He told me to take you away
I'm afraid your country is in crisis
I thought I could make my dreams come true...
Why did you have to tell me?
I'd rather hate myself
than see you hate me
But I cannot abandon my people
and allow them to suffer
lanquan,
wait for my return
Go up
hold on!
Hold on!
How's your wound? I'll be fine
remember? It took me only three days
to cure you the last time
your country
needs you now
hurry!
Wait for me
I will...
The general has returned...
General...
The general has returned...
Where are the others?
What happened?
They set fire to the camp
we're all that's left
ao jia sacrificed his life
to save me
All of you... leave now
from this moment on,
I am not your general
get out of here!
Get out of here!
Have you come to surrender
or to die?
You really want this head, don't you?
Come and get it!
You're outnumbered, muyong
Muyong xuehu!
Today is the day you diel
come on then!
I want to see how long it takes for you to bleed to death
Who wants some of me?
Stand down! All of you!
Brother xuehu...
You shouldn't have come...
You shouldn't have come you once told me
than accept defeat
muyong xuehu
stand up if you're man enough!
Hu bal
your ambition has cost
so many lives
you alone deserve to diel
if you think you can kill me, then come on
I promise... justice will be served today
feijer...
You're no match for him
look at you,
you can't even avenge your father's death
you killed my father? You bastard!
Brother xuehu...
I must kill hu ba to save my country even if I have to die!
Come on!
Your blood will Mark the beginning of my new dynasty!
Feierl
Brother xuehu!
Lanquan!
You promised to wait for me
see? Here I am...
Ready to fly to the highest mountains
across the biggest oceans
langquan
wake up
take me with you
Lanquan,
my best days in this world
were spent with you
though brief,
we lived them together
I, yan feier,
the 16th ruler of the great kingdom of yan,
bestow the title of supreme warrior
on muyong xuehu
from this day forth,
the kingdom of yan shall end all war
and establish peace
among the ten kingdoms
long live her majesty...
Lanquan,
the fighting is over
soon the world as you envisioned it...
Full of beauty... will return
