Guardians of the Ancient Oath
[This story is purely frictional.]
[Episode 35]
I find there is
a forest of superior tea
back behind the house.
You’re fond of yacca tea.
So I made some.
Yacca tea is the tribute to the royal.
Now I am down and out.
I don’t deserve it.
If you don’t want tea,
I’ll boil some spring water
for you.
The spring here is clear and sweet.
Jinyang.
I’m no longer a marquis.
In my heart,
you’re always a marquis.
You saved me.
I will never forget your kindness.
You are a noble lady.
I am disabled.
The life is dangerous
and fearsome.
You don’t have to do this.
Leave here.
I’m the daughter of the governor nominally.
Actually, I’m just an orphan
who lives on my father’s legacy
with the title of
Ladyship.
Blessed by Heaven,
I was betrothed to you.
You, the steward,
and all the maids in the mansion
treat me like a treasure.
The mansion was gone,
but you
are still alive.
You lost the title of Marquis,
but you’re still my husband.
We swore the oath to live and die together.
Since we’re married,
I will keep the oath.
Whether rich
or poor,
I will be with you
forever and ever.
Look around.
There are mountains and springs, tea and food.
Living here until death
isn’t a bad ending.
In the past,
our life was restrained
more or less.
No freedom.
From now on,
we may
live a peaceful life here.
Alright?
I’m going to
prepare snacks for you.
Today,
did you hide anything from me?
You always tell me
to put Baize first.
What you did was for Baize?
Or you
have lost your direction?
What do you mean, brother?
I fall in love
with a hero in the prairie.
Is it wrong?
Women of Baize
shall not be trapped by love.
I am a woman of Baize,
but first I’m a woman.
I know how to make
right decisions.
Brother. You should
be confident to yourself.
You tutored me in person,
didn’t you?
If the matter
is over like this,
I won’t bring it up.
But Ba Yin,
don’t ruin the whole Baize
because of your love.
If he can love me,
then he is my life.
If...
Say no more, brother.
I know what to do.
Marquis. Do you get used
to this place I found for you?
I come uninvited. Sorry.
Things has changed.
It isn’t up to me to be picky.
Will you really forget the hatred
and live here
until death?
What are you implying?
The King.
The King?
I won’t blame him
for what he did to me.
What if he isn’t the King?
What are you talking about?
Have you ever thought about
why the King did so?
Let me tell you the truth.
Baili Haohe
who you saw in court
wasn’t the true king
of Yo,
but a puppet being manipulated.
A decoy
created by demon.
Are you sure?
I believe you’ve noticed
Baili Haohe’s
suspicious deeds
could not done by humans.
But now
I am disabled.
What can I do?
Will you allow
the demons to wreck Yo
and kill the innocent people?
What do you mean?
Save the world.
Save the world?
I am nothing but a disabled man.
How can I save the world?
You don’t believe in yourself.
I’m an ordinary human.
What capability do I have to save Yo?
Marquis.
Don’t you really know
your capabilities?
Capabilities?
You are the Chosen One.
It isn’t the right time, though.
And
I come here
to tell you that
Baili Hongshuo isn’t dead.
Where is he?
I will
arrange your reunion soon.
We looked around all night.
Nothing is found.
General. We have no clue.
Can we find him?
I think so.
He should
still be around Ye City these days.
Where are we going now?
Take a rest here first.
Set off at night.
OK.
Make a fire.
Huyu needs to meet Great King.
Please tell him.
Great King is ill.
Elders. Please go back.
We are worried about his illness
and specially come.
What illness
makes him
rest in bed more than ten days?
I thank you
for your concern in Great King’s stead.
Physician has examined him.
It isn’t serious.
He’ll be fine after some rest.
Which physician examined him?
Elder Huyu knows
Lang's law and customs best.
Don’t you know
asking about Great King’s illness
is prohibited?
Beast.
After you’re promoted,
you seem to know Lang’s law
better than me.
Let me ask you.
Great King left Shuchi privately
and neglected state affairs.
What guilt is that?
You step out of line.
Great King doesn’t leave Shuchi
or neglect the state affairs.
You have no manner.
Are you discontented
with Great King?
Great King is ill
or he isn’t in the
tent?
No matter what you say,
I won’t
allow you to go in.
Ming Lai. Are you caring about
Great King’s illness
or his
whereabouts?
General Qiantong is hilarious.
I didn’t get it.
Stop pretending.
You wait here
for a show, don’t you?
Baize is loyal to Great King.
Great King is ill.
Of course I feel worried.
Is Great King really ill
or...
General Gao.
Your joke isn’t funny at all.
I’m not joking.
It is a secret known by
everyone,
but not made public.
You command Tilisan
and support Great King.
Now you doubt Great King’s whereabouts.
General Gao. Which side are you on?
Which side?
I am on Lang’s side.
Whoever against Lang
is my enemy.
General Gao. Let me ask you.
If
Great King goes to Yo
with that woman,
what will you do?
For a Great King,
it’s treason to go to hostile states
privately.
For traitors...
Would you like to
go hunting with me?
Is it a duel
between Tilisan and Baize
or a duel
between you and me?
The pleasure of hunting lies in cooperation.
Win or lose doesn’t matter.
The competition on the prairie
is the fight among masters.
Some masters
are not that powerful
as expected.
I am not weak. Agree?
You may not know yet.
Marquis Zhenbei of Yo
was sentenced to death days ago.
That jinx
was brought up in Marquis Zhenbei’s Mansion.
She didn’t show up these days.
Actually, she’s gone to Yo
to save the Marquis.
Great King cares about her a lot.
He has neglected state affairs lately.
Is it related with this affair?
Elder Huyu.
You can be
convicted of fabricating rumors for your words.
You’re from Baize.
Don’t cover Great King.
It’s well-known that
Baize
has been on same side with Great King.
Are you not on same side
with Great King?
You are dotard.
Great King doesn’t feel well,
yet you are making noise here.
Elder Huyu.
You are the one
who has no manners.
If Great King
left with that jinx for real,
we...we will never...
-Your Majesty. -Your Majesty.
Elder. What do you mean?
You suspect I went to Yo?
I don’t feel well these days.
It has been such a mess.
Your Majesty. Have you been in the tent?
Your Majesty. Elder Huyu said
he had an emergency for you.
Emergency?
OK. Let’s go in.
Sorry, General Gao.
I already have a partner.
Don’t come to a dead end.
Have some cakes.
Thank you.
Here.
Don’t stare blankly.
Eat up.
What’s wrong?
Relax.
Bandits are
sleeping at home during the day.
Hou Zhengze. What’s wrong?
Where are you going?
Hou Zhengze.
Where are you going?
Hou Zhengze.
Come here.
Do you hear that?
Come here.
A woman is at the bottom.
Take it.
I was ill and rested in bed,
but I was not deaf.
I heard a lot
of dirty words today.
I hate the rumor mongers
and rumor spreaders.
If I know
who is behind this,
I won’t let him off.
Your Majesty has the sense of propriety.
We’ve done
our duty of supervision and reminding.
Good day, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty. Are you alright?
Youwu will escort
Li Ruo back soon.
Remember.
Don’t let her know about my injury.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Gao Yi requests to see Your Majesty.
Let him in.
Yes.
My respects, Your Majesty.
How come you all come
to see me today?
We haven’t seen more than ten days.
I miss you, Your Majesty.
I never thought
the Chosen One
also got ill abruptly
and avoided seeing others.
All humans
get ill.
General Qiantong.
What brings you here?
Nothing important.
You’ve been absent from recent activities.
The Baizes were worried.
The unity of all Lang’s clans
is not superficial
when it’s peaceful.
The best
is to have all clans
rely on each other
and keep their power balanced.
Your Majesty
is admirable indeed.
Your thoughts are
unique as always.
If Lang
is ruled by a pedantic leader,
it will be as weak
as Yo sooner or later.
I haven’t seen
Princess Li Ruo for long.
Does she also
feel unwell?
Or Princess Li Ruo
went to see
her old friends?
General Qiantong.
No bother for you to worry about
Li Ruo’s whereabouts.
I dare not.
I just care about Princess’s
safety and health.
Take good care of yourself, Your Majesty.
Lang is strong outwardly, but weak inwardly.
You are needed to make it prosperous.
I am always of one mind with you.
Come here.
Come.
Come here.
You have something I want.
I won't hurt you.
Hou Zhengze.
Hou Zhengze, wake up.
Rise.
General.
Are you alright?
I’m fine.
Watch out!
General.
What monster are you?
Come out.
Die.
A demon hunter with such great power
is rare.
You know I’m demon hunter.
Surrender now.
Ask the humans
I have eaten
if they agree.
If so,
let these souls
rest in peace.
Demon hunter.
You will pay for
your deeds.
They have rested in peace.
Die with them.
Demon hunter.
You don’t
hunt the demon beside you.
It isn’t fair.
You are the same as me.
Why are you here?
I'm looking for you.
Do you come
to mock me again?
I think
I can only find you where demons are.
So I...
Ridiculous.
I have no choice either.
I have something to ask you.
What is this?
It’s said to be Nine-winged Dragon.
Is it true?
Where did you see it?
In the palace.
What did I run into?
Follow me.
Why did you bring me here?
This is the realm
you try to protect.
Now a demon
is ruining it.
Do you feel at ease?
Since you care about Yo
and can’t let it go,
I advise you
not to delude yourself
and struggle in vain.
What can I do
to save it?
A trial of life and death.
Dare you?
I’m willing to die
for my decision.
Good.
I know Marquis is a hero.
Although you are imprisoned,
you still have the world in your heart.
But I don’t want to
force you.
If I tell you
you must
kill that puppet now,
what’s your choice?
Just tell me what to do.
Jump from here,
and you will be guided naturally.
Marquis.
You also hope
he can pass the trial. Right?
The past is like dream and mist.
Humans tend to
indulge in the past
and can’t get out.
Hongxuan has
outstanding perseverance.
I believe he knows
what he is doing.
In this trial,
if Baili Hongxuan
can’t put down the shackles in his heart
and face his true self,
no one can save him.
Even if he is facing
a fake Baili Haohe,
he will not kill him.
Baili Hongxuan
is known as the Decent Master.
How can he kill his king?
How can he pass the trial?
Forget the title of Decent Master.
Kill that puppet.
I’ll do it for him.
Will you?
Your identity may be revealed.
Doesn’t it matter?
But if he fails
the trial,
he will die inside.
How can I
leave him alone?
Fine.
But remember.
Come back right away
after the trial.
Otherwise,
none of you will come out.
OK.
[Marquis Zhenbei's Mansion]
We lost mother,
then father and grandfather.
We only have you now.
Brother, rest assured.
We three brothers
can surely get through all difficulties.
Hongshuo is right.
We can surely
get through all difficulties.
I knew nothing when I
just ascended the throne.
I thought you were
the right man for the throne.
Guards! Protect His Majesty!
Baili Hongxuan
has never collaborated with the enemy.
I will no longer indulge you.
From today on,
you are neither
Marquis Zhenbei of Yo,
nor my right-hand man.
I’ll execute you in public.
Soldiers.
Baili Hongxuan committed treason.
It’s unforgivable.
Put him in dungeon and execute him later.
Don’t you believe in yourself?
Do not delude yourself
and struggle in vain.
What should I do now?
A trial of life and death.
Do you dare?
Don’t keep my company.
I want to
be alone here.
Marquis.
I’m not here to accompany you.
You!
Traitors.
You...
Youwu are immortal.
Who are you on earth?
No one can kill you,
except me.
You betrayed me ruthlessly
back then.
You’ll pay
with your lives.
What is she talking about?
She isn’t Li Ruo.
Then who is she?
All Youwu will disappear
with Qianshan Order
today.
Leave!
I’ve been relying on you
since we get married.
I’m not a heartless woman.
Marquis.
I’m willing to
do the trial for you.
What did you say?
Please trust me, Marquis.
Nonsense.
Marquis.
You have always been kind
and loyal to His Majesty.
You can’t cut off the kinship.
If you’re reluctant
to kill him,
this trial of life and death
may end up
in failure.
Your worries
are unnecessary.
Go back!
Marquis. Do you know about
the enemy you will face?
It isn’t an ordinary demon.
Although you are the Chosen One
with great responsibility,
you are just a mortal human.
How can you
match that demon
with your mortal body?
My power is weak,
but there is still a slim chance
by desperately fighting that demon.
Don’t take the risks
and go in person.
Please allow me
to complete the trial for you.
I’ve ignored you
since you were married to me.
Why do you
do this for me?
You and I
share an indissoluble bond.
After this trial,
I’ll tell you everything
about me.
But now
it’s about life and death.
You must not
be reckless
and stubborn.
You can’t bear this
on your own.
We are a couple.
Marquis,
as your wife,
I only hope you can be safe and sound.
Why do you refuse
my kindness?
It’s my business.
I don’t want to implicate anyone.
Aren’t you afraid
of death?
Why do you do this?
I am your wife.
I hope you can live.
