[Sword Dynasty]
[Episode 31]
Father King,
I had kept something from you just now.
I know, say it. What did you see?
What I am hiding is not what Father King is thinking.
My son Chu, you have grown up.
Even knowing what I am thinking about now.
Father King, did you come all this way to save my life?
Of course.
It's a good thing that you are safe and sound.
Not so.
I was able to survive only because of the rebel from Qian Kingdom, Bai Shanshui.
If Liang Lian didn't succumb to Bai Shanshui,
then I would have been the one killed by his sword.
You are saying it was Liang Lian?
Ever since Liang Lian entered Fengming City,
he had been ambitious and coveting.
However, based on his courage, he wouldn't dare get involved with my family business.
Of course, he wouldn't dare touch me.
I think he was instigated by someone.
Father King, this is a family matter; hence, we cannot let others know.
I thus hid this from you earlier while in front of everyone.
I ask that Father King make a decision.
Even though this battle against Fengwu has boosted Heng army's morale,
their future path won't be that easy.
Heng's Prince Han has always been ruthless.
He wouldn't show mercy to the old, the weak, the women, and children in Fengwu.
Sending Li Yunrui to the border with Fengwu to help
is the least we can do for them.
Prime Minister's trip to the border
not only can win accolades for our nation by rescuing the refugees,
it can also gain more time for Your Majesty's plan to attack Heng.
- What do you mean? - Royal Mother,
even though Fengwu has been conquered,
Heng's border has increased by 30%.
Your Majesty is thinking about letting Li Yunrui ambush the Heng army?
That's right. At this time, the Xian, Mo, and Li's alliance armies have reached Heng's border.
Tomorrow, Fengming will receive news about the attack of the three armies.
Your Majesty wants Li Yunrui to first appear as a helper of the old and weak of Fengwu,
and then attack Heng when the timing is right?
Exactly.
There are not enough Heng army in Fengwu, but their major camp is over here.
We will take the opportunity to attack while they cannot cover both ends.
Either we get the person
or get the city.
Otherwise, obtain both.
The Heng army has an overwhelming force.
Why are you frowning, Your Highness?
The crown prince has not returned for two days.
Your Highness, no need to worry.
If the crown prince is dead, it would be a good thing for everyone.
If he returns, since Liang Lian is dead,
you'll never get implicated.
Fengwu's defeat is irreversible.
Your Highness is the biggest contributor to this battle.
No rumor will implicate you.
If Young Brother Chu does come back
and insists I was behind it,
what if Father King believes it?
Does Your Highness remember
that palace maid during the banquet?
You mean to curse him?
Everything is under control. Your Highness will simply be handed the victory.
- Hurry. Hurry. - Over there.
Over there!
Hurry and go.
Over here! Over here!
- Hurry and go. Hurry and go. - Come on get up. Get up.
Thank you. Thank you.
Save me!
Hurry.
Hurry, hurry. Go!
What is happening in the army?
The Heng army has attacked fiercely. They've already broken into the city.
Hurry and go save people!
Hurry and go.
Gu?
Crown Prince, I am useless.
- I couldn't safeguard Fengwu for you, Crown Prince. - It's me who came back late.
The situation has been decided. I gathered all the old and weak.
You should take them and escape.
Faster!
You guys take care of Gu, no mistakes!
Fengwu's soldiers do not fear death. Although we lost,
as long as the women and children are protected, Fengwu's bloodline is protected.
While the roots exist, Fengwu will rise again in the future.
Go!
Help me.
Ding Ning, I have one more request.
You must accept.
Please take the weak, old, women, and children away from here.
King of Xian owes me a favor. The Xian Kingdom will take them in.
A kingdom cannot be without a ruler. Why don't you go with us?
My officers and soldiers are fighting bravely.
Since I am the king, how can I fear death?
Canglang, I am willing to live and die with you.
Hurry and go.
Stay alive.
Ding Ning, I ask this of you.
Sorry.
Canglang! Canglang!
Canglang!
Hurry and go.
Quickly leave! Come with me to a safe place. Faster!
Go. Hurry.
Go faster!
Those that can move, come over here!
This way!
Over here! Over here!
Attack!
I, Wu Lianzi, vow to be with Canglang in this life!
Crown Prince clearly knows that his life is in peril.
Don't make it harder for him.
I don't ask to grow old with him. I just want to always be with him.
Without my soulmate to be with me, life will be meaningless.
Lianzi!
Hurry! Hurry!
She's right.
Let's go.
Hurry, this way!
Quickly get up. Go!
General, the Xian-Fengwu border is just ahead.
Issue my order to camp here.
Xian will take care of any refugees that have escaped from Fengwu.
Yes.
The entire army will camp here!
Li!
Canglang!
The courageous prowess of Fengwu's Crown Prince on the battlefield,
where is it now? Your eyes look like a wolf's glare.
Too bad. No matter how fierce a Fengwu man is,
he can only be a homeless dog now.
Heng bandit! You are demeaning!
Shoot!
Canglang! Canglang!
It's really disturbing that the Fengwu Crown Prince doesn't understand the rules.
Don't blame me for not showing mercy.
Canglang!
- Canglang... - Lianzi...
I really dislike such sentimental scenes.
All right then.
Shoot!
Remember, cut off the head when it's still warm.
Come.
Hurry! Hurry!
Let's go!
Don't cry.
Keep up.
Let's keep up.
Hurry!
Hurry! Keep up!
Keep up!
Come.
Here, let me help you carry it.
Come, keep up!
Let's keep up.
- Hurry! - Hold on for a little more.
- All right. - Hurry!
Keep up, keep up.
Come, everyone, keep up!
Keep up!
Hurry!
Give that to me. Hurry!
- Come. - Hurry up!
Junior Brother.
Hurry and keep up.
Walking like this,
even if we can walk fast, they'll still catch up to us.
No matter how good we are at martial arts,
we can't fight a thousand pursuing troops. We can't afford to.
In that case, let's go separate ways.
I will distract the pursuing troops. You take them to the Xian Kingdom for help.
Once we evade the pursuing troops, we will meet up with you.
We and you?
Qianxue and I will go together. You go together with Nangong.
We can't delay. Good luck to all of us.
We will meet in Xian.
Eldest Senior Brother!
If we get separated because of the wartime chaos,
let's agree to wait in the Xian border for three days.
If we can't wait for each other, use all possible means to return to Min Mountain.
If we encounter mishaps, then send a letter to Min Mountain.
Strategist and Baili Suxue will both think of a way to rescue us.
Take care, Junior Brother.
Let's go.
Greetings, Commanding General.
Commanding General.
How are you feeling, Brother Chu?
Thank you for caring, Royal Brother.
But Marquis Liang wasn't as lucky as I was.
Marquis Liang died protecting you, Brother Chu.
Marquis Liang attempted to rebel.
I avoided Fengwu's machetes, but almost died under my own people's swords.
Since he's already dead,
let's not spread such a scandal in Heng anymore.
It's a grand blessing to Great Heng that Crown Prince has escaped from death.
Prince Han has prepared a gift for you.
Please accept it gladly.
He almost killed you, Brother Chu.
I have avenged you.
Brother Chu, aren't you going to say thanks?
Thank you, Royal Brother.
Crown Prince, you probably should rest first.
Stop!
Diverting the pursuing troops is so dangerous.
Why did you drag me along?
It's obvious why.
It's her! She is among those that killed Marquis Liang!
Attack!
- Are you all right? - I'm fine.
Let's go!
Crown Prince.
Please have some tea, Crown Prince.
Why are your hands trembling?
I'm not feeling well today.
Please excuse me, Crown Prince.
Why are you here?
Aren't you supposed to be staying in the palace?
I came with His Majesty to specifically take care of you, Crown Prince.
You've been exhausted from the journey.
Please have some tea.
Reporting, General!
It will take only half a day march to reach Heng's border.
Let's move faster.
Heng's army is strong and vast.
If we three kingdoms want to break through in two days,
we must surprise them.
General Li, you are right.
Issue my order: march faster!
Yes!
Greetings, Father King!
How is the war against Fengwu?
Father King, Fengwu's army has been completely vanquished
and turned to dust.
Fengwu is now an empty city.
This treatment not only avoids any plague,
when the green grass grows again next year,
it will become a fertile grassland for Great Heng.
You will be condemned by Heaven for such savagery!
Why do you say this, Brother Chu? Fengwu intruded our border first.
Heng attacks to pacify the world. That's enforcing justice for Heaven.
We should be blessed by Heaven.
My son Chu.
The enemy army has been vanquished. All the women and children are dispersed.
Fengwu does not pose a danger anymore.
But you instigated mass slaughters.
Great Heng will then be condemned by Heaven for such a heinous act.
Impudence!
How dare you curse Great Heng by claiming Heaven's wish?
It's not that Father King is not righteous,
but the evil inside one's heart is difficult to overcome.
Brother Chu, you cannot lose your manners!
Father King has always had a suspicious nature.
Since ten years ago, Great Heng
has been careful in guarding against mentioning the Ba Mountain's incident.
Your Majesty, Crown Prince must be acting this way because he's suffered a trauma.
No.
Let him finish talking.
During these ten years, no one in court is allowed to mention it,
all because Father King feels guilty.
Father King killed that person because he feels inferior against him.
A king killing a subject because his merits surpass his.
This action shall be condemned by Heaven.
The grievance of Ba Mountain Sword Academy
will be paid back by Great Heng's ruin.
Enough!
Please do not be angry, Your Majesty.
Crown Prince Chu is inexperienced in war.
He was traumatized and has spouted nonsense after being captured by the enemy.
Your Majesty, please ignore what you've heard.
Once Crown Prince Chu has come to his senses,
he will naturally beg for punishment from Your Majesty.
Listen.
Anyone who begs mercy for Crown Prince will immediately be executed.
Please reconsider, Your Majesty.
Huang Zhenwei, take Crown Prince away and monitor him well.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Everyone, hold on.
Keep up.
Hold on for a little bit more.
Come.
Everyone, keep up.
Junior Sister!
We've arrived.
We've arrived!
Are you from Fengwu?
On request by Fengwu's Crown Prince,
we've brought the these old and weak ones to get help in Xian Kingdom.
We've prepared clothing and food in the camps.
Since our king has agreed to help, we won't let the Fengwu people suffer.
Go ahead.
Let's go.
Based on your clothing, you must be from Heng.
I am Jiang Li of White Goat Cave.
This is my junior sister, Nangong Caishu.
White Goat Cave?
Is Ding Ning your junior brother?
Yes.
Where is he now?
We got separated.
Go look over there!
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Maybe it's the effect of the Nine-Phantom Sword.
That one earlier doesn't seem to be an ordinary fog.
It felt like a spirit vein.
Let's go back to that place again.
What is it?
Military report.
Bring it up here.
I've underestimated Prince Liling.
Three kingdoms have allied to attack Heng.
They have conspired to come when His Majesty is in Fengwu. There's no telling what they're planning.
Prince Liling doing this after he became the King of Xian
has actually made me respect him more.
They are camped now at the border in a threatening force.
What do you plan to do to counter, Your Majesty?
What do you want to ask me, Your Majesty?
I prefer to be direct. Do you know why you got injured?
Your meritorious honors surpassed your master's.
It was like this for Liang Jingmeng in the past, and it is for you now.
As a subject, I am loyal to Heng.
If His Majesty still suspects my allegiance,
I can only be humble and diligent to show my loyalty.
Now that His Majesty is far away in Fengwu
and the three kingdoms have launched an ambush attack,
my feeble body
cannot do as much as I would wish.
The person I want is Fang Xiumu.
If you are willing, I will appoint you as Commanding General
to lead an army of 300,000 to attack Li Kingdom and break their alliance.
Your Majesty, do you have the military badge? Without it⁠—
As a subject, you should naturally obey your master.
Do you need to worry about these miscellaneous items?
I, Fang Xiumu, will accept your decree.
It really is a spirit vein.
What do you plan to do then?
We can't go back to Fengming for now.
Yuan Wu is at the Eighth Realm, and Ye Zhen is at the advance level of the Seventh Realm.
To seek vengeance, we must strengthen ourselves first.
How is your study of the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Art?
I'm just short of a level
to totally dissolve my Irreversible Fiery Yang.
If I guard you with my Nine-Phantom Sword,
can you study the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Art and Torture Sword at the same time?
You mean...
cultivating the Torture Sword into my Lifeforce Sword?
My NIne-Phantom Sword has always complimented your body.
Once you cultivated your Lifeforce Sword, I can reach the Seventh Realm.
But I cannot be disturbed at all during this time.
This place should be safe.
No one will bother us for a while.
I agree.
I've never seen you easily shy away like this.
I used to only think of you as Ding Ning.
I still am.
Father King, Xian, Mo, and Li kingdoms are invading Great Heng.
We cannot tolerate them and must vanquish them!
Good. With the enemy nations attacking us, pass my decree.
We will immediately return to the capital and vanquish the alliance armies.
Yes, Your Majesty!
I'm sure all of you have learned that the three kingdoms have colluded to attack Great Heng.
I am appointing Fang Xiumu as Commanding General
to lead an army of 300,000 to attack Li Kingdom.
I obey.
Your Majesty, the alliance army is led by Xian
which has the most troops. Next is Mo's army.
Li's army has only 100,000 soldiers.
I am dimwitted and don't know why you want to attack Li with such a heavy force.
The three kingdoms came prepared.
With our current military strength,
we can only overcome the alliance by defeating them one by one.
The Xian Kingdom is the one that incited this invasion against Heng.
The other two kingdoms just went along with it.
If we attack Xian with heavy troops,
wouldn't it be exactly what they want?
But looking at the three kingdoms,
only Li is the weakest and the easiest to vanquish.
What if Mo and Xian charge toward Fengming while we use up our remaining force to attack Li,
wouldn't we end up losing big?
Marquis Li makes sense.
Your Majesty, Li's closest neighbor is Mo.
Mo is also friendly with Xian.
If they give up Li and attack Heng,
even if we conquer both Mo and Li, but if Fengming is lost,
wouldn't it leave Xian as the strongest kingdom in the world?
I recommend that we attack Xian with heavy force.
We second the recommendation.
It's so unusual to see you all in such unison.
Then, let's do it the way Prime Minister Li says.
Attack Xian with heavy force.
Reporting!
Your Majesty, Xian has added 100,000 troops to invade Fengwu.
Please ease your anger, Your Majesty. Xian is obviously prepared.
- My son Han! - Present!
We are being attacked on two fronts.
Quickly lead the army back to Fengwu to face the enemy.
Remember, you must safeguard any place you've conquered and not let Xian take any win.
I will obey!
The opposition for those ministers is wasting your thoughtful plan.
I already anticipated that the ministers would oppose attacking Li.
Notify our home to quickly dispatch their forces.
But just now in court...
If the alliance isn't broken, it puts Great Heng in danger.
My only solution is to let Xiaozhong's Army ambush Li.
Li's defense will definitely be chaotic.
Great Heng can use the opportunity to follow up with an attack.
Your Majesty is really thoughtful.
But there are many rumors going around
saying that you want to monopolize power.
Whatever I do is always for Great Heng.
It's fine as long as His Majesty doesn't mind it.
I will send the letter right now.
General.
There is still no news about Junior Brother Ding Ning.
I am here to bid farewell.
Why?
Heng and Xian are fighting against each other. We are Heng people.
It's inconvenient to stay here and it might bring you trouble.
Where are you going from here?
Of course to return to Heng.
This is today's military report. Heng's army is already in Fengwu.
Xian Kingdom's border is under strict supervision.
All the traveling merchants must be inspected.
I think, with your identities,
you probably can't pass the inspection.
General, you are indeed candid with me.
You are a true gentleman. I am much appreciative.
Returning to Heng during war times is not only because I am a citizen of Heng,
but more because of my agreement with my Junior Brother.
I cannot break it.
All right, I understand.
Since we are friends, I won't force you to stay.
Please leave as you wish.
Thank you, General.
Reporting!
3,000 troops have died at the Heng-Xian border!
Reporting!
Mo sent out all its 300,000 troops and is now battling Marquis Fang at Qilong Peak.
What about Li Kingdom?
- Li Kingdom... - Speak!
LI's 100,000 troops are standing down at the border.
They actually made Mo their main force?
Why not recall the 100,000 troops attacking Xian to serve as reinforcements?
No.
Xian attacked Fengwu with 100,000 in the initial battle, meaning they have reserves.
If we recklessly separate our forces to send reinforcements,
we will hurt our own formation.
Yes.
Reporting!
Xian Kingdom's 400,000-membered army has surrounded Liangshan Commandery!
Who is leading them?
The King of Xian and Lu Siche are each leading 200,000 troops.
Such schemers! What do we do?
I am the leader of Heng's Eleven Marquis, Marquis Fang Xiumu.
General Di Xiu of Flying Hawks.
I will fight you.
Long Live His Majesty! Long Live Great Heng!
Kill!
