Chinese Paladin
Episode 7
Let's play a game of chess first.
Warm up. Warm up.
After this game of chess, we'll know the outcome.
Your Majesty, have you forgotten it so quickly?
Previously, I've taught you
how to play such games from the foreign countries.
This game of chess, I'll play with you.
Elder!
Shi Gong Hu, I've been waiting for you for a long time.
Outrageous! How dare you call me by my full name?
Elder, it's really great that you are back!
Elder, you're willing to come back and assist me,
I have confidence to win this game of chess now.
You Majesty, please understand.
I didn't come because of you alone,
it's for Nan Zhao country.
A Nan Zhao country that is different from the past.
Shi Jie Ren, I want you to remember. As long as I'm here,
don't you dare to continue to be so savage.
Father! Father, come out.
Father! Father!
Ask all your men to leave immediately. Let Li Xiao Yao save Zhao Ling'er.
How dare you command your father!
You knew that she was caught by the snake demon,
but you pretended that you didn't see that and trapped him in the city.
Do you have a sense of justice?
They are two different matters.
As for the snake demon, I know what to do.
You just want to force Li Xiao Yao to marry me, right?
You have never been truly concerned about anyone. Including me.
You are only concerned about your reputation.
- I did everything for you. - Excuses!
You just can't tolerate a young chap annulling the marriage in front of all the guests.
You're afraid that people will gossip. Afraid that they will say that you can't even control a young chap.
Afraid that your reputation as a martial arts leader will be tarnished.
Should a daughter say such words to her father?
Martial arts leader, with a father like that,
I feel embarrassed to have the surname Lin.
Outrageous!
Bring her back to her room.
Let go of me!
Evil woman, you tricked me!
Bring him here.
- Go! - You, let go of me!
- Let go of me! - Kneel down.
I won't marry Li Xiao Yao.
Old fox, you're not fit to be a martial arts leader.
Someone was caught by the snake demon and you don't care. You want us to get married no matter what.
Uncle, you've gone overboard.
- Shut up. I won't kowtow even if I die.
You refuse to get married time and again, causing disgrace to our Lin family.
Today I will force you to obey even if I have to use brute force.
- Despicable. - You.
Now you have two choices.
One is die, two is to be obedient, kowtow and get married.
Uncle, can't you be more reasonable?
None of your business! Pray to heaven and earth.
Stop it!
Scholar decree
This scholar decree is bestowed by the emperor.
Seeing this decree is seeing His Majesty in person.
Kneel down! If not you'll be beheaded.
I announce that this marriage is invalid.
No mercy to those who fail to comply.
Mister Li master, let's go. Untie him.
Yes.
Uncle, unlock her acupuncture point.
You want to leave Lin family? Don't come back anymore.
If that's the case then I won't come back anymore.
We left just like this, we didn't bring enough luggage. Cousin, have you brought enough silver?
Cousin, this is considered your first time travelling to a distant place.
No wonder you feel a bit helpless. I have some experience in travelling, I have silver.
Fine, lend them to me. Later I must go and buy things when we reach the city.
Good. I need to buy tea, paper, brush, ink, ink stone.
Right, cousin. Did you bring the little alms bowl?
- It's always with me. - That's great.
If not you can't sleep at night again.
What little alms bowl?
What has it got to do with you?
- Jin Yuan, can you let me play with your scholar decree? - No.
Don't be so stingy.
Mister, this has nothing to do with stinginess.
- The problem is... - Cousin, don't talk reason with him. Can't you see that he looks so ugly and cunning,
even he wears the dragon's robe, he'll look like a beggar. Still thinking about scholar decree?
Let me tell you.
You can say anything about me now, but don't forget
that you lost to me.
If I'm a beggar,
you are the mud on the ground.
Looking for death?
You're angry because you feel too ashamed.
Appropriate use of vocabulary.
What is exactly that little alms bowl?
Don't want!
Don't want....
Yes, why did it become like this?
What happened? They are all burnt.
Snake demon!
- Snake demon, throw at her! I'm not a demon!
Don't throw at me.
Snake demon.
I'm not a demon. Don't throw at me.
- Let's go and call people. - Ask more people to come. Hurry.
Faster, she's there! Catch her!
Kill her!
Chop off her head and cut her into two.
Demon that kills human!
I'm not a demon!
I don't want to kill people. I don't want to kill people.
Why did I become like this?
Who am I?
No.
Why am I so evil?
I'm human. I'm human.
Brother Xiao Yao.
Let's meet in our next lives.
Wait.
Old man, please leave quickly.
I'm an inauspicious demon. I will cause you to meet with a fatal disaster.
Little girl, close your eyes.
Think about happy things.
I'm not lying to you. Leave quickly!
Happy. Think more about happy things.
Close your eyes.
"Timing and subtitles brought to you by Paladin Lovers @Viki"
Open your eyes. There's something unexpected waiting for you.
Look.
Why?
My stomach is also not hurting anymore.
Old man, who are you?
Why aren't you scared
to see me like this?
Not human. I'm mountain deity.
Mountain Deity. I beg you.
I don't know what happened just now,
once I get agitated, a scary force comes out
and killed all the innocent villagers.
Can you save them?
To save them, you are the crux of the matter.
- Me? - Right.
I'm a snake demon.
You have already revived so many plants just now.
You must have a way to help them.
I wasn't the one who revived those plants,
it's you.
Me?
I only know how to harm innocent lives.
Don't console me anymore, old man.
Deities never lie.
What I've said are all true.
Little girl, you are not a snake demon.
You are a deity. The descendant of Nüwa.
Nüwa?
Nüwa is the mother of earth.
So whenever I think of happy things,
plants will be revived.
Clever. You are worth teaching.
But, that said,
if you feel depressed, sad,
then this force will be very harmful.
Snake demon and Nüwa are incomparable.
At the beginning when the heaven and earth split, there were no humans.
Nüwa made humans out of the yellow mud.
Nüwa is the ancient sacred female deity.
The creator of life.
Nüwa betowed life to humans.
But she didn't teach them how to survive.
Humans' lives were very hard.
Under Nüwa and Fuxi hard work,
humans survived.
Since the heaven entrusts this important task to you,
you should make use of this power to save lives.
Ling'er understands it now.
Mountain deity,
do you have anything else to teach me?
Good, good.
Although I didn't have much education,
my words are more direct.
Savour the joy you had in the past,
You and your descendants will gain from it.
Come, try it.
Save those innocent villagers.
Are you thinking about love between men and women?
Brother Xiao Yao.
Your Brother Xiao Yao must be a good man.
But he seems to have once forgotten me.
We can't turn back time, this moment is the most important.
Besides love and friendship, what else?
Who gave birth to you and who took care of you?
Parents gave birth to me. Grandma took care of me.
But I separated from my parents since young.
Grandma also died.
You are on your way to Nanzhao country to look for your father.
What does that represent?
I'm going to reunite with him.
That's right.
But Ling'er's mother and grandmother...
Are they good people?
Very good.
That means that they went to the Western Paradise early.
Have you felt it?
I felt it.
They...
Little girl,
you have a baby, you can't do strenuous exercise.
I really have a baby?
That's right.
That's why you show your actual self,
and reveal the instincts of a Nüwa descendant.
That's great.
I have a baby.
Little girl, after you give birth to your child,
you must tell your baby
to remember what I've told you today.
Savour the joy you have in your life,,
You and your descendants will gain from it.
That's right.
This is the palace. No entry for unauthorized persons.
Who are you?
Shi Gong Hu.
You are Elder Shi who has been away for ten years?
You are finally back?
Your Majesty, you will damage your health if you don't eat and drink.
I'm waiting for someone.
I'm willing to serve Your Majesty,
and help Your Majesty declare war to Half Moon sect.
You may leave.
Yes.
Elder Shi, you are a statesman for three dynasties. Please rise.
I still have to stand on ceremony.
Please rise.
I have calculated.
I just need 3000 elite troops from Your Majesty to go right into the tiger's den,
wipe out Moon Worshiping Cult at one go.
Let's not talk about this first.
I came here to discuss about this matter.
Your Majesty, how can we not talk about this?
I would like to ask, saving and eliminating, which is more important?
Your Majesty, why are you saying this?
These few days, I've always been thinking.
We must eliminate Half Moon Sect,
but we also have to save the princess.
I still don't understand.
I'd like to hear the details.
Nan Man Niang told me,
her daughter Ah Nu sensed that princess is in danger.
I would like you to save her first.
Is this why Your Majesty asked me
whether saving or eliminating is more important?
That's right.
But I think that
eliminating Moon Worshiping Cult is equal to saving Nan Zhao country.
I would like to ask Your Majesty,
saving Nan Zhao country and saving one person,
which is more important?
I've let the Empress down in the past.
I don't want to continue to feel guilty about this.
After we save the princess,
I can do my best
to deal with Moon Worshiping Cult with you.
I understand.
The rise and fall of Nan Zhao country
and Moon Worshiping Cult have become one.
What if something happens to your son?
How would you choose?
I would definitely choose the state.
Isn't that too unreasonable?
If Your Majesty gets swayed by your emotions again,
the day that our nation perish won't be far away.
I've decided.
Since I can't persuade Your Majesty,
fine. I shall join you till the end,
help you to save the princess.
Nan Zhao country has diplomatic relations with Central Plain.
I will bestow you with a personally written order.
Your journey will be unobstructed.
After the matter is done, I will give you huge rewards.
I don't need the rewards.
Within three months, I will definitely accomplish my mission.
After it's done,
Your Majesty, don't come and look for me in the mountains again.
This shall be the last thing that I'll do for Your Majesty.
Good!
Good.
Yang Ju Mie Palace
Good!
But why did you fail?
Godfather.
Just because you are soft-hearted like a woman.
Because you've learnt from that Nan Man Niang.
That's why you end up in such a sorry plight.
Godfather, please forgive me.
Our country is going to perish.
It's because we have cowards like you.
General, Tang Yu is ready to set out.
You have been taught by Elder Shi single-handedly,
you should know his temperament.
Godfather is obstinate,
Tang Yu will try to meet Godfather's expectations.
Sometimes his demands will be overboard,
you just have to obey him.
Tang Yu won't let general down.
I will definitely help godfather to bring princess back safely.
With you around, I believe you can reconcile his impulsive character.
I can be at ease.
General.
- Are you ready? - Everything is in place.
The five of you are my most capable and elite subordinates.
Will you let me down for this operation?
Rest assured, general. We will do our best until we die.
Great. Set off and meet Elder Shi.
Yes, general.
Tang Yu.
General has other orders for me?
Bring Ah Nu back.
Ah Nu went to Central Plain too?
I've asked Sheng Gu to prepare something. Bring it to Central Plain.
If she is disobedient, punish her serverely.
Yes, general.
Do you know who's standing before you?
Zhi Gong Hu, Elder Shi.
Which position?
Three dynasties statesman.
- What are my achievements? - Founding minister.
What do I ask from you?
Don't give up if the objective is not achieved.
- You refuse to obey? - Don't dare.
I'm referring to whether you dare or not. But do you obey?
Because what you've heard are all hearsay.
We admire you.
I'm not here to request recognition for my merits or show off.
Among you, whoever can do better than me,
more capable and outstanding than me,
I will listen to you.
You can command every operation.
We will obey your orders, willing to risk any danger.
I want you to complete the mission perfectly and bring the princess back.
We will not let Elder down.
To protect the princess' safety, this mission must be kept secret.
We will mix with people in the Central Plain and we must not expose our identity.
- Understand? - Yes!
- Move. - Yes!
Can the two of you walk faster?
If I knew earlier, I won't let you buy stuff.
You didn't buy?
You stuff what you bought into my bundle. You still dare to scold me?
I bought one piece, you bought seventeen pieces. You still want to scold me?
What we bought are all necessities.
Necessities?
Mister Li, Master.
Slow down.
Li!
Stop calling Li.
I shall see whether he can escape from my clutches.
Seriously.
One of them walks like a snail, the other thinks like a potato.
I'll either be slowed to death or annoyed to death.
Old man, do you have snake demons coming here?
No.
Have you seen a fifteen or sixteen year old girl? She looks very pretty.
Aound this height.
We have many pretty girls in this town.
Her name is Ling'er. She's as pretty as a fairy.
Ling'er?
No, no such person.
Thank you.
Sir, have you seen someone around 16 years old,
dignified, refined, delicate and pretty.
A girl who has the royal aura.
Don't push me.
I said no means no. I have a lot of snake soup here,
even the snake demon is caught and cooked by me.
Help me to take note of that lady I told you just now.
Fine...Go, go.
You.
How did we manage to catch up?
It's this thing that seizes lives and chase after souls again.
I tied this bell on you.
Only me and my father can untie it.
Why can it sense and respond?
This...
Uncle bought this from a non-Han place when he went travelling half a year ago.
There are a pair of small worms in the bell. They are under a spell.
The worms can sense each other.
When cousin Yue Ru shakes her bell, the worm will jump.
Mister Li's worm will sense it and jump.
This bell sounds because of the worm inside.
How long can this worm survive?
This worm is under a spell, it can live for at least 3 years.
3 years?
Heaven!
Don't I have to be with this evil woman for 3 years?
A grown up man still bring bells like little girls.
- What's the matter with you again? - Who asked you to walk so fast?
Who asked you to carry the two mountains and walk so slow?
Can't you walk slower?
Mister Li master, cousin Yue Ru is just worried that we will get separated from you again.
That's why she keeps calling you. Please forgive her.
Disciple scholar Jin Yuan, I'm worried that I can't get rid of the both of you.
That's why I walked so fast. Please understand.
Enough! This is the first time I see someone as irritating as you.
What are you doing?
Remember we are Central plain people, just like anyone else.
Understood.
Where's my money bag?
- Wait. - Elder.
What's the matter? You don't want to chase anymore?
He's highly skilled.
He stole your money bag. We can't let him off.
He can steal something from me, definitely remarkable.
Elder, could he be...
to control the enemy successfully, you have to cut off his supply of food first.
This must be Moon Worshiping Cult's trap.
We cannot be careless and fall into the enemy's trap.
But commoners in Central Plain catch thieves too, don't they?
Wrong, you forgot that I said to maintain secrecy?
That's not right. I should be the one being caught.
It's better to put this money bag in a place that's as obvious as possible.
Don't run!
Money bag! Don't chase!
Is this old man crazy or foolish?
How come he doesn't react after I stole from him twice?
If not...
Money bag?
Don't chase!
The enemy keeps luring us, don't be impatient.
I stole from him 3 times at a go, why is he keeping silent?
Such a fool.
What are you doing?
How is it?
You want to look for your Ah Qi and whisper sweet nothings in each other's ear?
Ah Qi! Ah Qi!
Ah Qi!! Master is here to look for you.
This rascal.
He didn't even ask me when he goes out and play.
Play? Who is it went out to play?
Those evil women who are busybodies and ran away from home.
It's better compared to some other people who don't do serious things,
only know how to act like a scholar, pretend to be a woman and rob money.
This is called self-reliant.
I don't have money to buy delicacies.
At least I need to have money to buy buns.
I haven't settled scores with you.
Why did you frame me and my cousin?
I'll dig your heart out and see if it's black.
I won't go and find that old man if I knew earlier.
If it's other people, you would have been caught. You can't pester me anymore.
Heaven has eyes.
That old man, I stole from him 3 times and he didn't report it to the magistrate.
If he's not crazy then he must be foolish.
Stop making noise!
Uncultured, lack of manners, outrageous.
What has it got to do with you?
How dare you! What kind of place is this?
Robbers snatch money in broad daylight.
At night, there are gangsters creating trouble.
Men are robbers, women are prostitutes. Worse than pigs and dogs!
If you don't like it, don't act wildly in my territory.
Who is so daring?
I like to do this! What can you do to me?
You come here! I'll smash your skull with one palm.
Come here, I use one finger to poke you to Gobi desert.
- You! - Godfather, don't be impulsive.
Let me go out and mediate.
Hi.
Sir, sorry for what happened just now.
You speak too seriously.
Goodnight.
Ah Nu, what are you doing?
It's very fun!
What is this?
Take your pinky out.
Right hand.
This is your "string connection".
Why is it pinky?
This is mother Nan Man,
This is Master Sheng Gu
This is my father who I haven't met before.
This is princess. So this has to be Tang Yu Xiao Bao.
Is this ranked according to our position in your heart?
It's ok. I know it long ago.
Tang Yu Xiao Bao is my best friend now. He is also my biggest money bag.
No matter what happens, even if I get into big trouble,
you must come and save me.
So selfish.
No matter what happens,
you will definitely appear.
When can I see you?
Princess is nowhere to be found.
Ah Nu feels so impatient. Ah Nu feels so impatient.
Princess is nowhere to be found. Ah Nu feels so impatient.
So impressive.
Help! Run faster!
Help!
Big brother!
Who wants to kill you? Why are you so scared and flustered?
Little girl, hurry up and go! There's a snake demon over there.
- Yes, she killed many people. - Princess.
Where's the snake demon?
She's in the woods over there.
Don't go!
Little butterfly, you also feel happy for me?
Butterfly, I'm leaving. See you next time.
