[Sword Dynasty]
[Episode 26]
Senior, are you all right?
I'm fine.
It's the west gate ahead of us.
I can only bring you this far. Take good care of yourselves.
Thanks.
Let's go.
Just one more step and we can be out of here.
Let's fight!
Why is Liang Lian here?
We've walked into a trap.
We've been acquainted for so many years
and you're leaving without saying goodbye?
Ye Zhen, you've come, too.
It looks like the three of us won't be able to escape today.
This water prison is situated against Floating Mountain and surrounded by water.
If you can hand over the secret to the Lone Mountain Sword Trove,
I'll consider saving you as a whole corpse.
Do you really think I'll care about keeping my complete body?
Years ago, you betrayed Jingmeng and slaughtered our entire sect.
Today, I'll fight you to the death.
Senior!
Ye Zhen!
Meteor-Comet Tail Sword!
This is bad.
They are in trouble.
I've seen you before at the Wutong Falls Tavern.
Nine-Phantom Sword.
It belongs to Liang Jingmeng.
Why do you have it?
You have nothing to do with him.
Gongsun Qianxue.
You should have died with him ten years ago!
You enabled the tyrant by betraying justice and friendship.
Today, I will end the Ba Mountain grudge
on behalf of Liang Jingmeng.
Ba Mountain Sword Academy's rebels
deserve to be eliminated.
Was Ba Mountain Sword Academy really rebellious?
You know it very well yourself.
Our chief was true to you and Yuan Wu.
Too bad his true heart was killed by your selfish greed.
You will eventually die by each other's hands.
My Queen, even if your beauty fades,
I will never leave or abandon you.
Too bad that you won't see that day.
Ye Celeng, are you rebelling, too?
I, Ye Celeng, have never wavered in my loyalty to Great Heng.
You and Yuan Wu betrayed the loyal Ba Mountain compatriots first.
It's really sad that Great Heng is ruled by people like you.
As long as I'm around, you will never be allowed to insult Ba Mountain disciples again!
The mountain wall is broken. Hurry and leave!
Stop them!
Put down your sword!
Superintendent Chen!
The Bureau of Heavenly Supervision and Holy Capital Surveillance have never seen eye-to-eye.
Today, we are given this good opportunity. For you to kill me...
is very suitable.
Put it down!
Chief Ye, you have indeed revolted.
Capture the rebels!
I'm going to die here today.
I have only one favor to ask.
Remember, the most important thing about the sword force of the Autumn Water Sword is
to be careful when there's drought,
be extra cautious when there is rain.
Teacher, I have one thing I want you to promise.
Speak.
When you teach others the sword moves, you always use other people as examples.
I hope that you will never tell anyone
what you've told me today.
All right.
I promise you that I'll never tell anyone else.
Wait!
Your Teacher said that you were his favorite disciple.
He also said, the Autumn Water Sword gets strong upon meeting water,
and weak upon meeting drought.
But, to you,
the most important is to be careful when there's drought,
but even more cautious when there's rain.
Offering one's life source sword?
Ye Celeng!
Take care of my teacher!
Leave!
- Let's go! - Ye Celeng!
Let's go.
- Let's go! - Ye Celeng!
Chase them!
Yes!
I've fulfilled my wish.
I have no more regrets.
If there is a next life,
let's not meet again.
Little Aunt. Little Aunt.
- What is this? - That's the Magical Fire Sand made by Lie State's Sword Furnace.
It will help heal your wounds.
Many thanks.
I am incapable to have let the rebels escape.
Your Majesty, please punish me.
Your Meteor-Comet Tail Sword is really ferocious.
I could even feel it even deep inside the palace.
This ambush should have been successful.
Unfortunately, Ye Celeng foiled us halfway.
She used the Bureau of Heavenly Supervision's sea boat to break through the floating mountain.
I have already sent people to capture them.
They suffered serious wounds, they couldn't have run far.
They suffered serious wounds, yet the queen is unharmed.
I do not understand.
Your Meteor-Comet Tail Sword is superbly powerful.
How could one Ye Celeng let a rebel who's been imprisoned for ten years to escape?
I really cannot understand.
Is the Bureau of Heavenly Supervision's sea boat too strong,
or have you developed compassion for Ba Mountain Sword Academy?
Your Majesty's words have disappointed me.
It's been ten years.
Does Your Majesty not understand my feelings?
If you don't have him in your heart, then you should have killed Lin Zhujiu on sight
and not let him escape!
Think about my current state.
How can I feel safe on the throne?
Nine-Death Silkworm Divine Art's descendant has returned. Rebels from Lie and Qian keep on provoking us.
You are not afraid because you are in the Eighth Realm, but the citizens don't feel the same.
What I have done, it has all been for the stability of Great Heng.
I have no other intentions.
I want Lin Zhujiu's life,
so that I can destroy the Lone Mountain Sword Trove
and solidify Great Heng's foundation.
You've worked up such a complicated plan,
is it because you are also interested in
the Lone Mountain Sword Trove?
Your Majesty does not believe me.
I can only show my loyalty with my death.
You are taking it too seriously.
I cannot bear to lose you.
You're awake. How are you feeling?
You helped heal me for an entire night.
Baili Suxue said that the chill of the Nine-Phantom Sword entered your body.
Even though I haven't completed the study of the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Art,
I can now gradually control the Irreversible Fiery Yang.
It's the right antidote.
It's still early. Why don't you rest a little more?
Ding Ning...
Ye Celeng, she...
Offered herself to her life source sword.
While you were unconscious, Bai Shanshui already told us everything.
She offended the imperial court. I'm afraid it will be hard to escape.
Ye Zhen recognized my Nine-Phantom Sword.
She also knows I'm the proprietress of Wutong Falls Tavern.
You definitely will be implicated.
Are you afraid?
Since you and I agreed to take revenge,
I have no fear.
Besides, I might not be implicated.
That may be logical.
But within this year, our movements have quickened.
We might get stuck in danger at any moment.
My heart has been dangling all this time.
You're too nervous.
Me dying alone is fine,
but you are the last person who should be involved in this revenge and grievances.
At your age,
you couldn't have met Liang Jingmeng for long.
Compared to you, we are the ones who should seek revenge for him.
But revenge is so difficult.
Tonight, we don't know if Ye Celeng is dead or alive.
Tomorrow, we don't know how many more people will die.
Ding Ning, if you can't withstand it anymore, give it up now
and there is room to maneuver.
Too many people have paid for this.
I...
as Teacher's descendant,
bear the hope for everyone.
If I give up,
then their sacrifices
will be wasted.
Ding Ning,
after this battle,
my wish for you to live has gotten stronger.
You haven't recovered from your injuries. Rest some more.
I'll check on the strategist.
I haven't been able to breathe so easily and freely for such a long time.
The Great Floating Water Prison is pitch dark inside.
Strategist Lin, you've endured for ten years.
I am in awe.
That place is the real hell.
I was willing to endure
because I felt that Ba Mountain wasn't dead yet.
In the past, Jingmeng led us to gallop across the battlefield.
It was such a satisfying feeling!
Even if someone betrayed over personal benefits,
I would still feel that, no matter what,
the spirit of loyalty and justice must prevail.
Even so,
the dead are long gone.
The ones that are gone
will never have the chance to meet again.
If Jingmeng knows in the netherworld,
he will feel comforted.
I wasn't talking about Liang Jingmeng.
Jingmeng has left for many years.
And now, you are willing to shelter us.
I thought you had already resolved your grievance against him.
That's right.
My grievances with him have long been written off.
I said it that way
because he can see everything you've done.
Jingmeng...
is alive?
It seems that Strategist Lin knows very little
about the Nine-Death Silkworm Divine Art.
Sect Master, what do you mean?
Sect Master.
Strategist.
Teacher.
Chief Ye... she...
What about her?
I'm going to die here today. I have only one favor to ask.
Take care of my teacher! Leave!
Ye Celeng! Ye Celeng!
- Let's go! - Ye Celeng!
Why did Ye Celeng tell me
to take care of her teacher?
Could it be that Ding NIng knows something?
No.
I must ask him directly.
Miss Zhangsun, I'm bringing you breakfast.
I am Xie Rou, a friend of Ding Ning.
Ding Ning isn't here. I was just about to look for him.
Is that so? Then wait for me. I'll go with you.
If Ye Celeng knows that her teacher is still alive,
she would feel gratified.
You are...
Jingmeng?
Nine-Death Silkworm Divine Art saved his life.
I, Lin Zhujiu, greet...
Strategist, you must not.
Ding Ning!
Why are you here?
I need to talk to you about something.
What is wrong with her? Why can't she talk here?
Who are you exactly?
Why are you asking me like this, Little Aunt?
You shouldn't call me "Little Aunt."
Then, what should I call you?
Call me, "Qianxue."
What?
Qianxue.
This is how you used to call me.
Little Aunt, are you mistaken?
Are you missing Teacher again?
You'd said
that I shouldn't keep a sword if it doesn't suit me.
The person who isn't suitable
shouldn't stay here either.
I'm tired.
Little Aunt!
I sense that she really likes you.
But why don't you see it?
But with which identity can I face her?
In the past, I was the sinner to the Gongsun family.
Now, she has accepted Ding Ning.
Why can't I continue using Ding Ning's identity?
The identity of Liang Jingmeng is a burden to me and to her.
Revenge isn't easy.
The path so far has already been difficult.
If we have to add this burden,
I can't see how we can keep going
with our future path.
King Father.
King Father, Fengwu has been conducting raids into our border.
I think we should start a war.
King Father, ever since the Deer Mountain Conference,
the Xian, Li, and Mou kingdoms have been afraid of Heng.
The small Fengwu State is much weaker than the Li Kingdom.
Why is it daring to trouble Heng?
Fengwu dares to cause trouble at the border because of Xian Kingdom's secret support.
What do you think we should do to counter it?
I think we should stay calm and observe,
and not get disturbed by small incidents.
Han, you support the war. How much force should Heng send to the battle?
Fengwu's elite force has less than 30,000.
Great Heng is famous for the Tiger Wolf Army.
No more than 50,000 can trample Fengwu.
50,000?
Do you know why Fengwu raided us this time?
After the Deer Mountain Conference,
even the Xian, Mo, and Li Kingdoms won't dare to offend Great Heng.
Doesn't a measly Fengwu have any sense of self-awareness?
I am dimwitted. Would King Father please give insight?
It's good to have ambition.
Next time, before you desire to accomplish any merits,
do your homework better first.
Yes, King Father.
Yes.
You've finally come, Zhu Yuan.
Your Highness has waited long.
I've finished the affairs in Xian kingdom. [Zhu Yuan]
From this day on, I can serve you by your side.
Very good, rise.
Isn't this girl...
She is a palace maidservant serving Crown Prince Chu.
From now on, she will be loyal to us.
Zhu Yuan, why are you bringing me here?
This person is Bai Gongfeng of the Bureau of Heavenly Supervision.
I don't understand.
Your Highness, you suggested attacking Fengwu but was rejected by His Majesty.
With the jailbreak from the water prison, the people feel restless now.
His Majesty must not be pleased.
This person is just the medicine that you can use to cure His Majesty's worries.
King Father probably won't care about a dead officer.
With this Fengwu machete, everyone will be different.
The Great Floating Water Prison was broken into and Lin Zhujiu has been rescued.
The rebels including Bai Shanshui were able to escape.
Tell me.
What are the civilians saying?
Your Majesty, even though there were anomalous signs in the sky,
the Great Floating Water Prison has always been hidden.
The civilians know very little about the situation in the prison.
Know very little?
Or are they pretending that all's well?
Forget it!
It has already happened and the people must feel restless.
You tell me! Is there a good solution?
- King Father, I have a plan. - Speak.
I think since the crisis has occurred and public grievance has developed,
we should deal with it like treating a flood; best to channel the flow than blocking.
How do you channel the flow?
Attack Fengwu to shift the blame.
No! The world has been in war for such a long time. Taxes and drafts have caused the people utter suffering.
Creating a war without cause will only stir public sentiments.
After Deer Mountain, all the other nations know that our nation is strong and prosperous.
Great Heng is rising above all the other nations.
But we must not dwell in self-satisfaction,
or the people will slouch in comfort and the soldiers will enjoy peace.
Once an enemy attacks us, we will suffer from the front and the back.
King Father, wars will exhaust the people and waste resources. This is not good for the nation.
Wars can also be used to prepare for more wars and raise the nation's strength.
Fengwu is just a small state. Besides, they were all just small skirmishes at the border.
It doesn't deserve an all-out war.
Informing King Father,
the corpse of Bai Gongfeng of the Bureau of Heavenly Supervision was recently discovered in Wutong Alley.
He was slaughtered by Fengwu's machete.
King Father, Fengwu didn't just raid our border.
They have obviously become arrogant enough to sneak into Fengming City and kill a court officer.
Great Heng must not tolerate this!
Hear my decree.
Prince Han is appointed as the Commanding General of the Conquering Army.
Prince Chu is the Vanguard Commander.
Prepare immediately to attack Fengwu.
I accept the decree. I shall not disappoint you in the mission
to trample Fengwu and stop the foreign aggression.
I accept the decree.
At the Great Hall today, that Fengwu machete on that corpse
was stabbed by you. Right?
Royal Father, I only want to help you.
Is that so?
Your behavior at the Great Hall today...
was very good.
Thank you, King Father.
You can leave now.
I'll take my leave.
When will Huang Zhenwei be here?
Your Majesty, he should arrive in Fengming very soon.
Huang Zhenwei is thoughtful and thorough.
For many years, he has been working on missions for Your Majesty in faraway lands.
Now he'll return to become the Chief of the Bureau of Heavenly Supervision.
He is really the perfect choice.
He's been away from Fengming for so many years but will often send back information about the Lone Mountain Sword Trove.
With such a matter happening in the water prison,
it's the right timing for his return.
Before he starts his new job, you must bring him to see me.
Yes.
