[Novoland: Eagle Flag] [Based on a fiction by Jiang Nan]
[Episode 50]
It you who believed Muli, that maniac who only knows about horses and blades.
Now, several thousands of Qingyang's strong men
have died in the attack by Shuobei's wolf warriors.
It's easy for Muli to just die.
But, who will bear the responsibility?
Enough. Why are you shouting and screaming?
Among the ones who died in the battle,
there is also Tieyiu, my own brother.
Right now, the enemy is coming. We should be like them,
protect Qingyang with our lives!
An emperor who can't even protect his own family,
how can he protect us?
Huozhiqin, no one dares to talk like this to the Emperor here.
Reporting to Emperor, Crown Prince has returned.
Eldest Brother.
Asule, my dearest brother, you've finally returned to Qingyang.
Are you wounded? Is it serious?
It's General Muli's blood. I came back too late,
and couldn't save General Muli and Second Brother.
They are Qingyang's heroes.
Yes, this was a terrible battle.
General Muli is dead. Tieyiu also...
Let's not talk about that now.
Monlehouer can come anytime. We need to think of a solution.
Third Brother.
Asule, it's good that you returned. If Father were alive,
he would be very happy to see you.
Crown Prince is back, of course we are happy.
But, Muli is probably
not a hero like Crown Prince said.
Why not?
Why not? Muli willfully started the battle, disregarding everyone else's advice.
That's what led to the defeat. He got what he deserved.
That's right. Not only that he didn't stop the King of Wolves,
he actually lit up his rage.
Right, I'm feeling rather curious.
If Muli started the battle secretly,
how did the King of Wolves find out where he was and set up a trap in advance?
Who would have believed that Muli would start the battle with only a few thousand soldiers?
Are you saying someone in Muli's camp leaked the secret?
What do you mean?
I saw with my own eyes that General Muli and his soldiers' blood turned Tai Le River red.
They sacrificed their lives to protect Qingyang.
They are Qingyang's heroes.
Crown Prince, don't get upset.
The war is coming, and Muli just died. We have to be cautious.
That's right. It's one thing that Muli went to the battle secretly.
But, Second Prince also went. Why?
There must be someone behind the scenes.
Enough!
I already said it in the Great Tent that day.
I will tell you my decision in two days.
Tieyiu understand my difficulty, that's why he and Muli went to stop King of Wolves.
Even though they failed, but we should avenge for them.
We should think about how to fight King of Wolves.
To fight King of Wolves, we need our true Emperor.
I agree, you may have been appointed by the Emperor as his next successor,
but since you took over, look at the things you've done.
If you can't even protect us,
then how can you still act as the ruler to us all.
Mozhijin!
How dare you talk to me like that! What are you trying to do!
Let's hold a Kuligeh Conference then.
Yes, let the chiefs of all seven clans to jointly hold the Kuligeh Conference.
Let's hold a Kuligeh Conference!
- Let's hold a Kuligeh Conference! - Let's hold a Kuligeh Conference!
Third Brother, even with holding a Kuligeh Conference, it still won't be your turn to be Emperor.
Asule is back. He is the crown prince of Qingyang.
No, big brother. You were picked as the successor by father
and I respect his decision.
I am not Qingyang's Crown Prince. I am now Qingyang's eldest prince.
Asue, you don't need to live in the tent.
Your mother's room has always been kept. You can stay with us.
I'm accustomed to living here. Besides, General Muli just died,
Mommy Ing is by herself. I'm afraid that she can't bear it being alone.
You have grown up and I respect your choice.
I can see that you've matured while in the North Land and big brother is proud of you.
Big brother, I will protect Qingyang with all of you.
If father is still here,
he would have let you be the emperor.
Elder Brother, please quit talking about it.
Asule, I'll take you to meet my new wife.
Asule, you're finally back.
Suma?
You must have a lot of questions.
Why are you here? Aren't you...
I didn't die back then,
I escaped for my life
and followed a merchant's caravan back to the grasslands.
How is it that you can talk?
After returning to North Capital, I luckily met a talented physician.
He cured my muteness.
Don't just stand around. Asule, come and sit.
Suma mus thave suffered trying to come back.
God Panda blessed me and let me meet Eldest Prince.
That must be the luckiest thing that has happened in my life.
I am happy for you.
When Suma came back, I almost couldn't recognize her.
Now, it's fine. Look at her, she is getting more and more beautiful.
No wonder she is Qingyang clan's Queen.
Oh yes, you are now North Capital's Eldest Prince, you should have your own dwelling.
Big brother will build a house for you, one that's better than your other brothers.
You will live here first in the next few days.
Yes, I've had the room prepared for you.
That's not necessary. Father made me King of Slaves, so I will still be King of Slaves.
I'll live in the original tent.
Asule, you don't have to suffer yourself. I believe that you won't fight with me.
Big brother, I feel closer to to father
while living in that tent.
Emperor, let's agree with him. I'll take care of it.
Asule!
Our Qingyang's little leopard has returned!
Let me see you!
I've missed you greatly!
It's good that you're back.
When I went to North Land,
Father also said farewell here.
He said when I returned, he would take the boat to pick me up.
It turned out that, as a son, I couldn't even see him for the last time.
I should've listened to you back then and not go to the North Land.
No, sending you to the North Land
was your father's biggest wish.
Why?
When you were at Eastland, did you experience again when your blood boiled up?
A few times.
Even though you didn't tell your father, but he guessed it.
Who did you meet in that cave? From whom did you learn how to wield the blade?
I saw an old man in that cave
and he said he was my grandfather.
He was your grandfather.
Your father didn't tell you back then because you were too young.
He was afraid you wouldn't understand and would be scared.
All he could do was to send you far away.
Away from all those horrifying things.
Horrifying things?
Why did father lock grandfather inside a cave?
I am the only who is left to tell you.
Asule, you are not actually sick.
Your blood is different from the other average person's.
Your grandfather was the same as you.
You both possess the bronze blood.
My youngest son Asule is frail since childhood.
How could you have taught him your blade skill?
In our Pasuer clan,
he is the only little leopard who has the bronze blood flowing in him.
Other than he, no one can achieve learning of Machete of Death Sentence
You will make him die.
That would be his destiny.
Time is like a wheel.
Whatever happened in the past
will happen again in the near future. Remember,
to discard your shadow,
you can only descend into darkness.
Asule! Do you hear?
Bronze blood?
Is it like the legend says, that it is the incarnation of the God of War who could kill thousands?
It's not that simplistic.
Actually, this blood was called savage blood in years past.
To the ones who possessed this kind of blood, it's hard to say they were blessed by the gods
were cursed by demons.
They have much great strength and speed than normal people.
They are natural-born warriors.
When the power in their blood is completed generated,
they would become maniacal.
It's not impossible that one person alone can wipe out a whole army.
I don't understand it. If Grandfather is such a warrior,
why did Father lock him up?
It's because all the ones who had this savage blood,
as they used this forbidden power again and again,
they would gradually lose their humanity.
Your ancestor, Yimade, was the first one that we knew as a maniacal warrior.
He went insane eventually.
He forced his biological sisters to join him in an all-night orgy,
and bit them to death one after another afterwards.
This is your destiny, an inescapable fate in this lifetime.
In our blood, there lives a demon.
It's feared by your enemies as well as your loved ones.
Remember, some things cannot be rid off.
Either you become like me,
all four limbs strapped down with heavy metal chains,
or, just die.
Your father feared that your grandfather's savage blood would lead him to keep killing people,
so he locked him up and hid the secret.
Chief Shaman, will I also become crazy
and kill the people I like?
You are the kindest child that I know.
You do not hate anyone.
Your father used to sadly wonder,
in this generation of Pasuer family,
there is only one son that has the bronze blood,
but why is he my most frail son, Asule?
I asked him back, what if it was in your strongest son,
wouldn't you fear it even more?
Your father thought about it for a long time.
He said, yes. I told him, that's exactly so.
Besides, your son Asule isn't a weakling.
I always thought I was Father's
weakest and least useful son.
A person's strength lies not in his physical power.
The real strength is in here.
Asule, do you understand? You've never hated anyone.
It's not your weakness, but your strength.
To curb the demon-like bloodline,
don't we need the person with the strongest inner strength?
This is why your father sent you to South Huai.
He wanted you to stay away from your brothers' battlefield
to fulfill his greatest wish.
What is Father's greatest wish?
Today, Asule has left southward to Lower Tang State,
as the esteemed guest for Qingyang and Lower Tang's accord.
I know about it.
He came to say farewell before he left.
I know that he came here to see you. I didn't stop him.
It should be the last time you saw him.
You sent him to Eastland
just to escape from me.
I only want Asule to safely grow up,
marry, have children,
and eventually die in that prosperous place.
This way,
the demon of grasslands will never snare him.
You've been treating your own father
as the demon of grasslands?
No. I am referring to his destiny.
In this world, what he hated the most is the bronze blood.
But your father did not hate you, he loved you.
He wanted you to be able to curb this demon-like blood
and not let the tragedy that had occurred to your grandfather to happen again.
Then, your father will be at peace here.

What is it? I rescued Asule back here, why are you still unhappy?
If it weren't for me, would you have rescued him?
Yes, I would.
Asule is kind. He won't compete with me.
Even though he was the crown prince, but now
he is my greatest asset to counter Third Brother.
Yes, he is the last person to want to get involved in this kind of conflict.
I don't want to see such a conflict either.
Suma, I think the mole is dispatched by Third Brother.
Third Brother leaked General Muli's movement.
He must be wanting to decrease my military strength.
He wished I was the one who had gone out fighting that day.
I will uproot his entire camp.
Don't worry. I'm Emperor now. I can control them.
Once we drive out Shubeo, when winter passes,
will you give me a child?
Don't fear. I will protect you.
I will protect you forever.
King of Wolves, you've been here a long while.
May I ask, what are you thinking about now?
I've been thinking about some strange things.
In my whole life, I've been constantly thinking about
entering that city.
Eastlanders say, only a virtuous person can rule the world.
People of the grasslands say, the blade must be held in the hand of the bravest man.
North Capital will definitely belong to you, King of Wolves.
So what if it becomes mine?
Thirty years ago, I was defeated by Guoleer.
From then on, I took my pack of wolves to wonder in the wilderness.
It's been 30 years. One day I'll die.
My wolves will devour my corpse.
My body will let them
travel farther in the wilderness. That's my life.
Even a hero like you has regrets for your life?
We came from the northern wilderness to here.
As we are just one step away from North Capital,
you actually feel like giving up?
No, I still want to own it.
Otherwise, I will die with regrets.
The warrior who rides atop the wolf, Mondehouer Houerhan,
legends has it that his ax has been stained with the blood from over a thousand people.
But such a person is actually contemplating in front the city that is about to belong to him.
Many people would find it inexplicable.
Lei Bichen, I want to know your objective.
My objective?
I came for that young body,
Lu Guichen,
Asule Pasuer.
I also find this grandson of mine
very interesting.
Suma... Queen.
Asule, are you treating me as a stranger?
No.
After these years, you've learned how to drink alcohol?
I still remember you loved drinking milk tea when you were young.
Thank you, Queen.
I only learned how to drink when I was in Eastland.
You must have good friends in Eastland.
I think, you must have friends first to learn to drink.
I made some very good friends in Eastland.
I still remember, when we were young,
we often went to Chief Shaman's tent
to listen to him talk about things in the outside world.
Queen, you've traveled to many places in the outside world, right?
Yes,
it took me two years to walk all the way home.
At least I'm finally back.
Suma, I'm sorry.
Back then at canyon, I didn't know you were still alive.
Let's quit talking about it. It's good that you're back.
I know that
God Panda would eventually bring us back.
Chief Shaman, it's cold outside. Don't bother seeing me out.
I used to always feel settled only after I saw you enter the tent.
I've grow up now.
You all have grown up.
But Suma is different from before.
It's all my fault. She must have really suffered.
She is more beautiful than when she was young.
The eyes are about the same, but the gaze seems colder.
Bimogan saw her and immediately fell in love.
He married her despite your father's recent death.
I hope Eldest Brother will take good care of her.
Chief Shaman, I'll take my leave now.
Crown Princes, it's taken us a long time to find you.
I went to memorialize Father.
Also, I am no longer Qingyang's Crown Prince.
Let's talk inside.
This way, please.
You are the crown prince proclaimed by Old Emperor.
In our mind, you are the rightful successor to Qingyang's throne.
Eldest Prince stole the throne.
He was the killer that forced Old Emperor's death.
Yes.
Eldest Prince is weak by nature
and fears the strong. He cannot unite
all seven clans of the grasslands. Many people do not favor him.
We are willing to support you at the Kulige Conference
to become Emperor.
Eldest Brother was designated Emperor by Father himself.
Then he is also my Emperor, and all 7 clans' Emperor.
Crown Prince.
Right now the city is under siege by Shuobei.
You would unite together against the common enemy and guard the city.
If the White Wolf Regiment
breaks into the city, where will you go?
Crown Prince, don't you want to think it over?
There is no need.
Also, if anyone betrays Qingyang for internal conflict,
then, no matter who he is, I will not let him off.
Crown Prince, do you think
the mole is among us?
I said, no matter who he is,
I will not let him off.
Crown Prince, you must have heard false charges from the Emperor.
He uses the cavalry and false charges to get ride of his dissenters.
Are you not afraid that he will lead Qingyuang to ruin?
We are afraid of White Wolves, and we are also afraid of moles.
That's why eliminating the moles should be our first task.
First of all, I am not Crown Prince.
Secondly, the Emperor will eliminate the moles.
Crown Prince, you should think it over. You can be Qingyang's Crown Prince,
- or, you can also be the one that brings disaster. - You...
Awesome kid,
you've learned how to drink in Eastland?
Third Brother, I made some friend in Eastland, and we were always drinking together.
The wine in Eastland is different from ours in grasslands. It tastes sweet,
but has a strong kick. If you drink too much, it makes you dizzy all over.
Whenever we drank too much, we would run in the streets,
made quite a bit of troubles.
I also want to visit Eastland.
It would be even better if I can drink the wine in Eastland again.
Third Brother,
Two clans' chiefs came to see me yesterday.
What did they say?
They still want to overthrow Eldest Brother at the Kulige Conference.
But I'd rather that all we brothers unite to fight against Shuobei.
Unite?
Do you know how many people Eldest Brother killed in order to ascend to the throne?
I heard about it.
Eldest Brother is wrong to have done that.
But, in the current situation, if we dissent against him,
Qingyang cannot overcome Shuobei.
Not only that I don't accept him,
the other six clans of grasslands don't accept him either.
Father had just died,
he immediately married that Suma.
Suma is Longge Zhenghuan's daughter.
How does that make the six clans of grasslands think?
Asule,
Eldest Brother snatched away everything that originally belonged to you.
The Emperor's throne was supposed to be yours.
If you inherit Father's throne,
I will definitely support you.
Third Brother,
I could have never become Emperor.
It looks like you are still a kid like before.
Asule!
Eldest Brother.
The clan chiefs still wouldn't talk well with me during a discussion today.
I've seen everything in the last few days ever since I returned.
You are facing problems inside and out.
You must be worried.
Yes, I feel like I'm about to use up all my patience.
Sometimes I really want to drop everything
- and forget everything. - Please don't get emotional, Eldest Brother.
You will be a great Emperor.
I will help you.
I heard that Wuochijin and Tuokele went to see you.
Yes.
Are you going to say yes to them?
Eldest Brother, you got me back here.
Are you afraid that I will compete against you for the throne?
Suma said she understands you, and you wouldn't do it.
Whoever Suma trusts, I will trust too.
I hope you will take good care of Suma.
I remember you liked Suma very much when you were young.
You even wanted to marry her.
We were all laughing at you.
At that time, I thought that was a way to protect her. Later I realized
that you can say many things, but can't necessarily achieve them.
People are just like the fallen leaves on the glacial river.
One doesn't know where one will float to or run into what kind of people.
Eldest Brother, in Eastland,
I already met someone I love.
Asule, are you telling me that you have someone you love in Eastland, so that's why I need not worry?
You want to console me.
Eldest Brother, it's because you are my family.
This time, I left home for too long.
When I came back, even Father is gone.
These are the things that you'd talk about with family, right?
You've always been my most adorable younger brother.
You are always afraid of hurting people,
but you aren't afraid of getting hurt yourself.
Eldest Brother, I really have someone I love.
Good. I believe you.
My Asule has someone he loves.
When things are taken care off in North Capital, I want to go back there to take a look.
If Father can hear from heaven what you're saying,
he should be very happy.
Grandfather, I'm back.
Grandfather.
Asule.
Suma.
What are you doing here?
Winter is too chilly here. I was afraid that you're not used to it since you just came back,
so I brought a cape for you.
All the winter clothing
have been prepared by Mama Ing.
So you don't need to trouble yourself.
Actually, I'm especially happy that you've returned.
I am also hoping to do something for you.
If you don't like this one, I'll tell them to make you one with wolf fur.
Suma.
You are Qingyang's Queen now.
You don't need to do these things.
Even though I'm the Queen, I still
often recall what happened when we were young.
At that time, I was still your slave.
Queen.
It's late already.
Please rest early, Eldest Prince.
I will leave then.
[Capital, Revelation City]
General Xi.
General Xi, you have a good hobby.
But, I have a bad news to tell you.
What else can it be, good news?
Heavenly Samurai and Qingyang's Calvary absconded
Qingyang's Crown Prince from the execution field in South Huai.
They even killed Baili Jinghong, Lord of Lower Tang.
First Princess is very unhappy. She has ordered to kill a leading Heavenly Samurai as a notice to the people
that there is law and order in the capital.
Heavenly Samurai will not be allowed to rampage.
It appears that the pigeon has a place for shelter,
but people like us have no place to hide.
According to the rules, this must be my last meal.
First Princess has ordered, General Xi has an esteemed stature,
You must eat well in this meal.
As a person about to die, I have an extra request.
General, it's fine to say it.
There is wine, but no music.
Find someone who can play the xither,
and give that person the music sheet of "Chilled Half a Lifetime."
"Chilled Half a Lifetime" is a masterpiece by Capital City's famous master, Huai Xinyu.
I'm not skilled, but know a little bit of it.
I would like to celebrate your farewell journey with you.
To kill me, First Princess
has thought of everything.
General Xi, if you don't mind, I will show off.
You played well. You played really well.
