Let me go.

- Let's go take a look. - Come on.

Let's check it out.

- Chief. - Chief.

- What are you looking at? - Just for fun.

Let us see, Chief.

Get lost, all of you.

Just one look.

Yeah.

Get lost.

Let me sober you up.

Strong, indeed.

Feel terrible, huh?

What do we do?

Let me help you.

I'll help you

to calm down.

You actually stir me up.

Under such circumstances,

you look pretty.

You look handsome, too.

You're awake?

Last night, you had a fever

and tortured yourself.

Can't hold on, huh?

Luckily, your fever is gone.

Last night,

what happened to me?

You sank into the lake.

You saved me again.

I just got you out of the lake.

Thank you for last night.

It's nothing.

For the water you gave my horse.

I'm Huang Beishuang.

Anyway, I won't owe you.

I always return the favor.

You take revenge, too.

Let's go.

Where are we going?

Wherever you want to go,

I'll send you there.

Yunpei or Enaqi.

Anywhere you want.

No need.

This is where we part.

Where are you going?

I can't leave my clansmen there.

This is yours.

I picked it up in the mess.

Since you want to save them,

how about we make a deal?

What deal?

I help you save them

and you give me this book.

Deal.

You have some skills.

You cooperated, too.

If I hadn't had the sap,

I wouldn't have slept with you.

You're my first man.

Lucky you.

This is a reward mark for you.

Remember.

Last night, you didn't have me.

I had you instead.

From this day on,

you're my man.

Crazy woman.

You're really daring.

I'm Ge Xinwei.

Let me say it again.

From now on, you're my man.

It looks good.

Is it for me?

You wish.

Just a simple hairpin.

Don't be impatient.

What? Who gave it to you?

Someone you love?

In this case,

why didn't you have her?

Shut up.

So, you failed to get her.

Didn't dare? She rejected you?

If you keep talking,

I'll silence you forever.

Calm down. So, I'm right.

A pretty girl isn't interested in you.

Nonsense.

If she hadn't run away,

you wouldn't have had me.

So, she ran away.

(She ran away.)

(So, she'll get helpers to save my clansmen.)

(Oh, no.)

(I must lure Ruo Wen away.)

(Then she can move smoothly.)

Since you're my man,

I should give you something.

I don't care.

I'm the Ninth Princess of Masui.

If you have your men

send me back to Masui,

I'll get you into the Lord's Tomb.

There is endless treasure.

You... A princess?

Give me the treasure?

Instead of keeping it in the dust,

why don't we take it out and share it?

We're a family, after all.

If you truly mean it,

my men will be at your disposal.

I'll wait for you here.

If you don't want my dowry,

never mind.

You're opening your home to a bad guy.

What if one day,

I take over your city?

Whatever.

Even in that case, it's still my home.

Stay close.

Stop.

Who are you?

We're Mr. Dong's friends.

We're here to give him a present.

Friends?

Why do I not know

I have some friends like you?

They said they'd give you a present.

Present?

That's good.

So, is this the present?

Mr. Dong,

can we talk alone?

Talk alone?

That's good.

Keep the woman and kill the man.

- Chief. - Stay still.

(Boa Agent?)

Can we talk now?

Yes, yes.

Let's just talk.

Chief,

did this crazy woman fool us?

Besides, we live in nature

and don't lack food.

You have no idea, boy.

Want to stay here forever?

Chief, instead of being bandits,

what else can we do?

When I'm away, be wise.

Watch those guys closely.

Rest assured, Chief.

Let's go.

Are they not going?

Don't overthink.

My point is...

What if you can't

fight Masui soldiers?

Isn't that your hometown?

Do I need to fight?

Of course.

What if people find us?

I can take care of that alone.

Let's go.

Fox,

do you think

this woman fooled Chief?

Chief is going there

to check the terrain of Masui

and get us a new home.

Masui?

Good place.

What do we do with them?

According to Chief,

their princess

may come back to save them.

He asked us to be careful.

Let's lure them in

and let them die here.

Think about it. When that woman returns

and sees her clansmen dead,

will she be scared?

No. She's not coming back.

The explosives have been planted.

Ruo Wen is away.

He is?

It's much better. Trust me.

Take this.

Just in case.

Listen. See the signal and ignite it.

Who are you? Stop.

Somebody.

Let's go.

(The Dead Zone)

Who are you?

Come and look.

Look who this is. Oh, Mr. Dong.

Long time no see.

What are you doing here?

Mr. Dong, have a death wish, huh?

Gentlemen,

I'm Mr. Dong's deputy.

He has the desert hallucination.

He's too hoarse to talk.

He has made me the Chief.

Life is hard for us.

I know this is one of the best places

in the desert.

See? I took my men here

for a better future.

For shelter?

Then you should do something, huh?

Otherwise,

I can't explain it to Chief.

Don't worry, Mr. Fox.

We've brought a present.

Hurry up.

Nice present, indeed.

Chief will love it.

How did you catch her?

What exactly

are you up to?

Mr. Fox,

we don't dare to do any trickery.

Here we are, in front of you.

You decide if we live.

Mr. Fox,

if you don't want this woman,

I'll take her.

Be my woman, huh?

I'm going to kill you.

Stop.

Mr. Dong, your man is really unruly.

To tell you the truth,

I don't call the shots.

Chief Ruo Wen does.

But if you kill someone first,

I may put in a good word

with Chief Ruo Wen.

Who do you want me to kill?

Her.

That's easy. Wait and see.

No, no. Don't.

No.

Get out of my way.

Duozai.

Duozai.

Duozai!

Stop right here.

You killed my clansmen.

You'll die!

Don't be so impatient.

I'll have you now.

Let's enjoy some food and wine.

Ignore her.

Come on.

- Let's go. - Come on.

Let's drink.

You'll be my friend.

All right.

Get in there.

Behave yourself.

Your Grace.

Your Grace.

Where are the others?

They're dead.

Follow me closely.

I'll take you out.

Guys, come on.

Let's eat and drink.

Cheers.

Bottoms up.

- All right. - Cheers.

Fill your cups.

- Drink. - Come on.

All right. Now, we're a family.

Mr. Fox, Mr. Wolf.

Let's drink.

Come on.

Let me fill your cup.

Here's the wine.

Let's drink.

Chief, he's one of them.

Your Grace, run.

Catch them.

Don't run.

Stop!

Stop!

- Forget about me. Just run. - Duozai.

How can I forget about you?

Madam Duozai, run.

Hurry!

Hurry up.

Don't let them get away.

Come on.

Run, Duozai.

The rest of you, catch up!

After them!

Get on the horse. Hurry.

- Catch them. - Run.

- After them! - Stop!

Archers.

- Shoot! - Yes.

Fall back.

(I wonder if she's got helpers.)

We went in circles for three laps.

Do you or do you not know the way?

I'm tired.

Mad woman, playing a trick, huh?

What trick am I playing?

How can a princess not know the way home?

I don't know where I am.

Unless you send me back to where I was kidnapped.

Or how can I know where to go?

Then why did you give confusing advice?

All the paths here look the same.

If you didn't tell me,

I wouldn't know we were going in circles.

Since we're held up,

how about we take some rest?

I warn you.

Keep your eyes wide open.

If you go the wrong way again, I will dig them out.

It's just a few minutes.

Ruo Wen.

Ruo Wen!

Duozai, hang in there.

I won't let you die.

I just won't let you die.

You're going to Yunpei with me.

I'll wrap you now.

No need. I'm dying.

No, Duozai.

You promised to go to Yunpei with me.

Without you,

I would have lost my nerve.

You promised me

you'd always be with me.

Good girl.

Listen to me.

Everything comes to an end.

Sadness.

Happiness.

Poverty.

And wealth.

But desire and wisdom just don't.

Good girl, remember.

Take back everything with wisdom.

But don't be overwhelmed by desire.

Kid,

please allow me

to call you Ninth Princess again.

Duozai.

Your Grace...

Duozai.

I...

I can no longer keep you company.

I'm going to see your mother

and go back to Enaqi with her.

I'm going back home.

Duozai.

Kid,

can you play

the Song of Enaqi

- I once taught you? - Sure.

Sure.

Duozai.

Have some water.

Thank you.

The world is dangerous.

The desert is merciless.

Even if you don't want her to die,

you should let her be.

This is what you told me.

I'm just thinking.

This woman

devoted all her life

to her masters and clansmen.

I'm also a woman in the desert.

What is my destiny, then?

Have you figured it out?

Destiny can never be figured out.

My current destiny

is to get to Yunpei.

Then, you'll yield to destiny.

Just a friendly reminder.

I know future is uncertain

and destiny is fierce.

But I don't have a choice.

All I can do

is to be pushed forward.

Yepei, Lianhuan.

Your Grace.

Your Grace.

I came with many people.

Now, only the two of you survived.

You can leave.

Future is uncertain.

I can go to Yunpei alone.

On the day we left Enaqi,

we solemnly vowed.

However hard the journey was,

we would keep going.

Your Grace, for Enaqi,

you'd sacrifice yourself.

We'll protect it with you.

He is right.

Wherever you go, we will go.

Fine.

Then, let's face it together.

Where did you get the new clothes?

I asked Dong Bahe for some rewards.

You saved us.

We will always remember that.

I promised to give you this.

This is where I leave you.

Wish you all the best.

Wait, Mr. Huo.

One more thing.

Escort us to Yunpei.

Now, you trust me?

We exploded Ruo Wen's den.

They won't let us go.

I need to reach Yunpei safely.

What else can you trade with me?

The trip was tough.

I no longer have

anything valuable with me.

How about this?

You make a promise to me

and fulfill it later.

No problem.

Get me to Yunpei within three days.

I will keep my promise.

Feita will make it within two days.

Let's go.

Your Grace.

Sit down here.

She was poisoned before.

And she was overcome by grief.

Now, she's very weak.

She can't hurry on with the journey.

Why don't we rest before setting out?

No.

The ceremony is coming.

I have to reach Yunpei before that.

How about this?

The two of you rush to Yunpei

and hand over the pass.

She and I will arrive the next day.

But...

It must not be delayed.

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you, Mr. Huo.

It's a song of Enaqi, right?

What is it about?

Love and departure.

It's about lovesickness.

Enaqi.

What kind of place is your hometown?

Life there is poor and hard.

But people struggle tremulously

to survive.

To live,

we have to rely on stronger tribes.

Nothing is special.

It's just a normal tribe

in the merciless desert.

I always have some confusion.

Why do you have to travel

all the way for an uncertain future?

Maybe marriage doesn't suit you.

Mr. Huo, you saved me.

But it doesn't mean

you can comment on my business.

Just saying.

There are more cities in the desert.

Why must you go to Yunpei?

The other two cities don't want me.

Why?

With traitors, Masui has failed.

It can't even survive.

How can it protect my tribe?

What about Tiandu?

Tiandu.

It's not good enough for me.

What happened?

As far as I know,

Tiandu has been closed for years.

It can't be against Enaqi.

Get on the horse.

Or when can we reach Yunpei?

Feeling any better?

The wind blows and the sand moves.

The vast desert

makes me forget myself.

Hope you won't be unhappy

with what I said.

I know you mean well.

There's no way to heaven.

But people keep trying.

I'm just finding a way

to the upper class of Yunpei.

Turn left.

- Why? - Just listen to me.

They're right around here.

They're up ahead.

Hurry.

How do you know this forest?

I observed the terrain.

There must have been a riverbed.

Along a riverbed

is where plants grow.

But you...

How do you know this pit?

I guessed.

Big caravans

usually make camp.

But businessmen who travel alone

usually find a pit in this kind of forest

to hide from beasts.

You know so well about the desert.

So do you.

Where are they?

I just saw them here.

- Search carefully. - Yes.

Let's go.

You go there.

Go check over there.

Search carefully.

Yes.
