[Novoland: Eagle Flag] [Based on a fiction by Jiang Nan]
[Episode 55]
Congratulations, Crown Prince.
You have finally become the last mad warrior in this world.
I told you early on that it's your destiny.
A fate that you cannot escape from.
You should take the view of a victor
to look down at all the people beneath.
You did save my life once,
but it's only because you are interested in my bronze bloodline.
From then on, my life has been full of your shadowy darkness.
I want to break it off with you.
I, who possess the demon blood, will kill you today.
for myself
and also for the world.
Asule!
What are you doing here?
Asule.
What has happened?
Why are you pointing me with the machete?
Look clearly, I'm Ji Ye.
Do you actually want to kill me, Asule?
Crown Prince, you...
you actually saw through my spell.
Spells are ultimately just spells.
They have loopholes.
I gave Heavenly Samurai Chief Leader's ring to Ji Ye.
But he wasn't wearing it.
Also,
you don't know my friend.
He is different from you.
He would never harm me.
We are the messengers from the celestial gods.
We can hear their whispers.
Your nonsense
cannot save you this tim.
I really don't have any divine power.
This is just my physical body.
It will die eventually.
But the spirit of Celestial Ministry
will never be eliminated.
Take your dilusion
and die.
In my eye, you will always be my child,
my friend.
You killed him?
Very good.
You have completely inherited the Machete of Death Sentence.
You are indeed my grandson.
I'll give you two choices.
Become Qingyang's King,
or be like a Qingyang man,
die.
I am a man of the Pasuer family.
Even if I die,
I will die for Qingyang.
You would die for Qingyang, but does Qingyang care?
Let me tell you. The person who leaked about Qingyang's strategy at Tai Le River,
and who also leaked the traces of you and Chief Shaman,
is your eldest brother's wife.
That's not possible.
Suma wouldn't do this.
Aren't you willing to die for Qingyang?
Good.
From now on, we are not grandfather and grandson.
The Shuobei wolves will rush into North Capital and kill all of you.
North Capital only has these people left, right?
After Ninth Lord died, there are many of his Tiger Leopard Cavalry left either.
We don't have much to worry about.
The two men from Mosuer family have some strength,
but to protect themselves, they probably wouldn't oppose us publicly.
The rest are only the two oldsters from Wuochiqi and Tuokele clans.
Put my food on that table.
We are brothers.
From now on, we will eat and drink together.
Sit.
Those two oldsters are not easy to deal with.
But, there is someone that we don't know what to do with.
Bimogan's woman, Suma.
She really wants to see you.
I've brought her here. She's waiting outside.
Suma?
She is just a stupid girl whose hatred made her lose senses.
Why does she want to see me?
Could it be that she wants me to bestow her with death, or maybe she wants to kill me?
Come, bring up Suma.
Guimu, wait for me outside.
You can leave for now.
We have avenged for our grievances. Should I thank you?
When you threw me under the horses' hooves, you didn't care about my life, did you?
How can such a smart lass like you end up dying?
Don't you understand Asule even more than I do? Didn't you know that he would save you?
Wasn't your goal to let us brothers kill each other?
I actually pity Bimogan now.
You surrounded him with your body and feelings, and turned him into a dumb jackass.
To save you, he even died.
But, you only have Asule in your heart. Isn't that right?
I don't love any man in the Pasuer family.
Asule has saved my life. I don't want to owe him anything.
This is interesting.
So you came to ask me let Asule go?
Why should I agree?
Four thousand slaves from Zhenyan clan?
That is a tempting condition.
If you control four thousand people, you could have done more.
But you want to use these four thousand lives in exchange for one Asule.
You really have deep feelings between you and him.
Too bad...
What's too bad?
Too bad that your dearest Asule has been missing without a trace for two years.
Guess where he can be now?
Is he captured and held at Shuobei's camp? Or, has he already been torn into pieces by the white wolves
and thrown into the snowstorm? By the way, Lei Beicheng is also looking for him.
Emperor, you have wiped out all your obstacles as soon as your ascended the throne. I should be happy for you. Here's a toast.
I am now the master over North Capital.
If you were the daughter of the King of Wolves with a noble birth,
I might actually marry you, officially and legitimately.
Don't you mind that I am your eldest brother's wife?
The grasslands' men don't care about that.
You could even give birth to my children in the future
to inherit my bloodline as well as your father's bravery.
So many people want to kill me in North Capital. Do you think I wouldn't wear protective soft armor?
Guards, take away this slut who conspired with Shuobei to kill the Emperor.
You will suffer a bad death!
I will watch your die first.
- Third Brother, is everything alright? - It's fine.
What did that woman tell you?
- She wants to save Asule and gave me a tempting offer. - What is it?
When the Zhenyan clan was eliminated years ago, four thousand boys who didn't reach a horsetail's height became slaves.
They were sent to various mountain camps to do hard labor. Now they've grown and want to revenge.
They secretly contacted Suma and want to restore the Zhenyan clan.
Suma will give you these four thousand men to guard North Capital?
That sounds good. We are short of soldiers now. If we can have four thousand extra men,
it will increase our strength a lot. Why did you refuse?
You weren't present just now. If you saw that woman's gaze,
- you wouldn't think this way. - What kind of gaze?
Guimo, to protect North Capital, we must negotiate with the King of Wolves
- but without debasing ourselves to him. Isn't that right? - Yes.
- We must achieve what Asule and Bimogan couldn't do, right? - Yes.
We've tolerated it for 30 years. Only we know what grievances we've endured.
This is the day that we've been waiting for. Our names
will shine in glory in the grasslands on this day, right? - Yes.
But that woman, Chief Shaman, Muli, and even Bimogan
never believed us!
Guimo, ever since the start to now,
they've only believed that Asule is a pitiable child, and that everything he's done is right.
Even when he got defeated in battles, they still thought he was a child that did his best.
What did they ever do for us? We have the same blood flowing in us. Until now,
only we are the ones we can help them, but they still think of us as bastards.
In my heart, only you are my hero.
Guimo, as long as we brother stay together, there is nothing that we can't achieve.
Older Brother, just tell me. What should we do next?
Things are now settled in Revelation City.
Your mother is still waiting for you to return home to Chuwei.
I've prepared horses and we can leave early tomorrow morning.
Teacher, you taught me about the value of preventive measures, and you should have
prepared for my not going back to Chuwei.
You've done your duty. Chuwei is no longer threated by Bai Lingbo.
You are my family. I want to take you home.
In this kind of world, Bai Lingbo is gone, but there will be others.
There is never a day of peace. I used to want to be an ordinary family's child.
I thought that was the only way to be carefree without any worries.
But in this kind of world, everyone is no more than an ant.
Everyone has one's own choice. I will not escape from what destiny has given in front of me.
At least, right now, this is my choice.
A young person can easily get impulsive, and always sacrifice too much for an ideal.
I don't want you to regret it.
What about your choice back then? Do you regret it?
I'm just like you.
Emperor Bai Zhouyue
can handle every obstacle with wisdom and courageousness, and has a pure and kind disposition.
Today, it is announced to all Nine Provinces,
as willed by Heaven, she will accept the request
to ascend the throne of Emperor.
Former First Princess Bai Lingbo was undisciplined in lavish extravagance,
connived with Celestial Ministry to corrupt the court,
and has committed suicide by drinking poison.
Kneel.
I now proclam Lord Baili Moyen of Lower Tang State,
who is experience and knowledgeable,
as Senior Lord to exemplify to the world.
The Bai family and Baili family in the past were united in marriage and thrived in happiness together.
The Emperor will marry Baili Yu, Crown Prince of Lower Tang on the same day.
We shall remember the past with what we do now, to jointly renew an era of prosperity and welcome world peace.
The Heavenly Samurai Regiment has cared about people, pledged allegiance to justice, and shown bravery in battles.
Having protected the county, it has shown itself to be exemplary in humanity and justice, as pillars of the nation.
I will now appoint Heavenly Samurai Regiment as National Guardian Army.
First rave!
Longevity!
Second rave!
Longevity!
Third rave!
Longevity forever!
Bow.
Baili Jinghong!
Baili Jinghong! Baili Jinghong! Baili Jinghong!
Where are you, Baili Jinghong?
I— I'm going to find you! I'm going to find you!
Baili Jinghong!
I'm going to find you! I'm going to find you!
Baili Jinghong!
I'm going to find you!
Baili Jinghong!
I'm going to find you!

I think Xudahan is malicious in planning this banquet.
What's the worst that could happen?
Will he kill us at the banquet?
If we were to die in the palace,
won't our two families unite to kill Xudahan?
He only has about 10 capable subordinates.
If we combine our 2 families, how could we still be unable to kill him?
I don't trust him. He's practically a madman.
He can do anything, no matter how crazy.
You must be sure to guard against him.
Brother, everything is ready. We just need to wait for those 2 old ones to come.
I think that those 2 old ones will definitely come prepared with defenses. Brother, can you handle them?
What happens at the banquet isn't the most important.
The most important part is after the banquet.
You must quickly take your men to control those two oldsters and their sons.
Also announce to the public that they are the spies for Shuobei.
Rest assured. I already prepared enough men for this task.
By then, once you succeed, my 300 men will act immediately.
I planted around 2,000 men around their camp.
Then I will hand this task over to you.
You must not make any mistakes.
Otherwise, all of our efforts will be in vain.
I know. If this task fails, it will ruin your big plans.
I will guard this task with my life.
Then, how about we kill Xudahan?
But he has that object with him. We can't kill him.
If we can deploy 500 elite soldiers to the front of the Great Hall,
we can definitely kill Xudahan during the banquet.
Besides, Xudahan wouldn't be wearing his body armor in the banquet.
We will have archers shoot him. His warriors
won't be able to fend off 500 people, right?
So long we can kill him, it's as though these 500 warriors,
can't be sacrificed, right?
Will it work?
It definitely will work.
Okay. Let's do it.
From now on, our 2 families will the owners of the Qingyang Tribe.
We have been subordinates to the Pasuer Family for too long.
By now, it should be our turn to rule.
Mother, if you are above in heaven,
please protect your 2 sons.
Please protect us so that we can succeed.
Guimo, you say something too.
Mother, please protect my brother and me.
How did you think of to pray to Mother? Shouldn't we pray to God Panda?
Do you think Mother will protect us in killing people?
How could a god so lofty like God Panda care about whether we live or not?
Only Mother would protect us.
On these grasslands, aside from Mother,
nobody believes in us. And nobody would protect us.
Guimo, don't say anything stupid like sacrificing your life.
We brothers have not stepped foot on Eastland yet.
All of you can retreat.
Yes.
You've come back?
Yes.
I came back.
But the Chief Shaman died.
Suma. I'm going to ask you a question.
The news that brother sent you out of the city,
did you leak it out?
Yes.
Why?
Suma,
I know that you hate Qingyang, but those dead Qingyang soldiers were innocent
My brother who loved you was also innocent!
Innocent?
Back then when you enslaved 40,000 Zhengyan people,
did any of the innocent Qingyang people stand up for them?
Your brother loved me for his own reasons.
Like you, he said he would protect me,
but he couldn't even protect himself in the end.
If he didn't die,
who should die?
You are not Suma.
The Suma that I knew is very kind.
She wouldn't even kill an ant.
She would never have killed someone that loved her.
That Suma died already.
She died in that valley.
That's right.
You thought I had died.
Did you ever come to look for me?
Not even once!
I want you take a look today
how I kept myself alive.
Do you see?
Open your eyes and look carefully.
Look at how I crawled step by step back to North Capital.
I crawled into those old nobles' tents.
I crawled onto their warm beds, endured endless humiliation, and stayed alive.
Asule, you can laugh at me.
I'm just your slave anyway.
My life is not important.
Can you still say those people are innocent?
Asule,
I hate you.
I'm especially glad when I see you looking sad.
Come on.
Kill me.
Kill me and everything will end.
Be a man, just kill me!
Asule!
Moma.
Asule, how did you come back?
You shouldn't come back.
Let me pack some stuff for you.
There should be time enough to leave the city before it turns dark.
What's the matter?
Ever since yesterday, the two big families, Wochijin and Tuokele, had their family members
acting suspiciously and going back and forth in the city.
It's like they are moving some things around.
Tonight, the Emperor is holding a banquet for all the lords.
I'm afraid...
I'm afraid something big is happening.
Moma, don't think too much.
You are all in North City.
It's my home here.
Where else can I go?
The wolves in the grasslands either kill each other
or will die in the snowstorms.
I watched you grow up.
You were also Old Emperor's favorite child.
You must be safe.
Moma, don't worry.
I will be fine, and you will be fine, too.
No matter what, I will protect you.
When vultures are circling in the sky, there is a reason.
Tell me, if Xudahan proposes a peace agreement today, how should we respond?
Then we don't need to use force?
I've never trusted him.
That man is a wolf, just like Menglehouer.
If the city opens the gates and we follow behind him,
then what are we? What can we obtain?
That's right. Then how about we...
If our two big families unite,
how can a little rascal like Xudahan get his way above us?
Third Prince, we are so honored by your hospitality.
Of course we cannot mistreat you two.
You represent the two most respected families in North Capital.
- Please go inside. - After you.
He is not wearing a body armor.
Allow me to toast to the God of War in North Capital,
Xudahan Pasuer. Your power is like the Pasuer ancestors throughout generations,
simply invincible!
Esteemed Wochijin, thank you for your enthusiasm.
The Wochijin family will always be Pasuer family's honored guests.
I am worried deep inside.
I won't be formal then,
and will be straight forward.
Bimogan is dead, the mole inside North Capital is removed,
but Shuobei's army is still surrounding us.
We can be here eating lamb meat and drinking guerxin wine,
but the slaves are about to die of starvation.
Shouldn't we think of a solution?
What you're thinking is exactly what I'm worried about.
It is always why I have invited you two to be here.
As things are now, we cannot fight a war anymore.
I have a proposal.
Why not open North City's gates, negotiate a peace agreement with Shuobei?
But, Shuobei has planted the red flags, and the King of Wolvs has ordered to slaughter the city.
The King of Wolves has never withdrawn his orders.
Besides, he has the advantage in winning now.
What do we have to negotiate with them?
Opening the gates to talk is the same as surrendering.
What I really wish is to fight to the death with Shuobei.
But, I've looked over our military strength in the past few days, and we are really short.
The present-day Qingyang really cannot match how it used to be.
Ninth Lord and Mulie are gone.
We really can't find this battle.
Then we can consider the peace negotiation the result of Five-Elders Committee meeting.
Good. In this case, let's toast together
to wish for God Panda's blessing of Qingyang.
Bless Qingyang!
Bottoms up!
