[EP 9]

4

Every life has an end

5

but the one of a hero will not end in the bed

6

Sharpen a sword in the rain

7

Take the crown on the horse

8

Good

9

Last night I ended the story when Emperor Rose

10

crossed Wanzhou

11

to wait for the best opportunity.

12

He killed King Pingshan and Luo Zishou

13

and occupied Kingdom of Ping

14

-Yu Ran

-What?

15

What are we doing?

16

We are listening to the Romance

17

It's much more interesting than reading books.

18

It's a must-do thing if you come to Xiatang

19

Good

20

You should listen carefully today.

21

The story of today is The Life of Emperor Rose

22

and the most exciting chapter.

23

Battle of Yangguan

24

If you miss

25

the next time will be half a year later.

26

-Emperor Rose's army was approaching Yangguan city -Move.

27

It was in the bleak autumn

28

The army was in red

29

Good

30

Emperor Rose

31

Who was Emperor Rose?

32

I know, he was

33

What do you know? Who is telling the story now?

34

There was a red sedan chair with curtain in the army,

35

where Princess Rose sat.

36

Yangguan was the barrier of the capital

37

They could easily conquer the Capital if Yangguan was taken.

38

But Princess Rose was about to die.

39

She was the love of Emperor Rose

40

and a childhood friend of his too.

41

Yu Ran

42

Her biggest wish was to see him

43

sit in Taiqing Palace and be the Emperor of the whole land.

44

Princess Rose passed away without

45

seeing Emperor Rose take the throne

46

(Singing)

47

Good, good.

48

Emperor Rose conquered the whole world for his love

49

But in the end, he still couldn't have what he wanted

50

I think

51

He must be very lonely.

52

But at least he conquered the world

53

which was Princess Rose wanted to see.

54

Yu Ran, Ji Ye.

55

Tell me this story

56

I have never heard of it before.

57

OK

58

I will tell you

59

I am about to tell it now.

60

Emperor Rose

61

He was the founding emperor of our Yin Dynasty.

62

The biggest hero of Eastland

63

Princess Rose

64

Hey, Yu Ran

65

Princess Rose was Emperor Rose's best friend from childhood, right?

66

Yes

67

The best friend

68

In this legend

69

I remember there was a third person

70

whose name is Chun...

71

Mr. Chun Wen

72

Yes

73

Idiot, His name is Wen Chun

74

Yes, Mr. Wen Chun

75

I heard the story before,

76

Wen Chun was the smartest at that time.

77

He was also Emperor Rose's good friend.

78

They had a common ambition

79

How should I describe it?

80

Great...

81

Great minds think alike

82

That's it, great minds think alike

83

Great minds think alike

84

Include Princess Rose

85

And the trio were best friends.

86

Trio.

87

We are trio too.

88

Yes

89

Yes

90

Pass me the cups..

91

We should be good friends always like them

92

OK, yes

93

Always be friends

94

(Xiatang's border)

95

Li invades my territory

96

Now Xiatang is in grave danger

97

In my humble opinion

98

Luo Ziyan's proposed peace treaty

99

is a good solution

100

Do you think

101

Li really wants to negotiate peace with us?

102

I think

103

Li just wants a temporary peace.

104

For a larger military invasion.

105

The thing is the price we pay is a bit high

106

Xiatang is the wealthiest country in Eastland

107

What we lack is

108

a troop that can defend ourselves.

109

So we always subject to others

110

What have I achieved in these years?

111

I will show you what you have achieved.

112

A bustling Nanhuai city

113

It reminds me of the time you first arrived in Xiatang.

114

You often drew painting of your hometown

115

At that time, I didn't have a clue what Tribe of Yu is.

116

I thought it was in your dream.

117

Is this me?

118

The first time I met your majesty

119

You were standing on the bridge

120

full of charisma

121

I think

122

We should negotiate peace with Li.

123

OK

124

(Tianqi, the Capital of the Empire )

125

All my courtiers

126

I received two letters just now.

127

One is from Yin Wuyi of Li

128

He asked for the Military title to command an army.

129

The other one is the military update Rom the front line.

130

Xiatang was defeated and suffered a great loss.

131

And ceded 15 cities for peace.

132

Any idea?

133

Any idea?

134

What do you think I should do?

135

Your Majesty

136

Yin Wuyi of Li ignores the national rules

137

and invades Xiatang without your permission.

138

He is a traitor obviously

139

Now he even asks for the title of duke.

140

His intention needs no explanation.

141

Your Majesty

142

I disagree

143

I know Li has 50,000 fine soldiers

144

who are very aggressive

145

They dress in red and equipped with armor so get the name of Red Brigade

146

And among them there are five thousand elite cavalries.

147

Who march as fast as lightning

148

Also known as Lightning cavalry

149

They are so formidable

150

Xiatang cannot defend itself from their attack

151

I am afraid that losing 15 cities is the best result for Xiatang.

152

So do you mean

153

even if Li occupies the whole Xiatang

154

It makes perfect sense?

155

Forgive me.

156

I mean

157

With the military power of Li

158

It's not difficult to conquer Xiatang

159

So it is wise for Xiatang to seek for peace.

160

Then what is your opinion?

161

Should his majesty grant him the title of Duke?

162

In my humble opinion

163

We should do so

164

Yin Wuyi is threatening the Capital by defeating Xiatang.

165

Without any resistance now.

166

I am afraid

167

if his majesty doesn't grant him the title

168

Till then we will be in serious trouble

169

And we will never find peace.

170

I am really looking forward to it

171

But you, I am afraid

172

can't see that day to come

173

Come

174

Your majesty

175

Your majesty

176

Your majesty

177

Your majesty

178

Your majesty

179

Retreat

180

I don't know which city Yin Wuyi invades

181

It's so strange

182

Neither stronghold nor the rich land

183

It's a nowhere valley named Gubeikou

184

In my humble opinion

185

What the ambitious Yin Wuyi wants

186

is not Xiatang

187

He is a lion stretching his claws to the Capital now.

188

Why do you think so?

189

Gubeikou

190

Now it is in the middle of nowhere.

191

But more than a hundred years ago

192

It was a shortcut for traders to reach the Capital.

193

Taking the route of Gubeikou

194

traders could spend 4 days less on the way to the Capital.

195

But it was a risky route

196

so less and less traders took it and it was forgotten.

197

With

198

With Li's power

199

Soon they can build a road for military horses

200

Till then as long as Yin Wuyi gives his order

201

The Capital will be surrounded by his army.

202

I think you must have known that

203

Yin Wuyi asked for the title of Duke

204

What's your take?

205

In my humble opinion

206

Among all the Marquesses

207

Yin Wuyi is not the only one who wants to betray us

208

For centuries

209

The Royal Emperor will take advantage of the balance that

210

all the kingdoms threaten and defend each other.

211

But now Li's military power overwhelmed other countries.

212

Once this balance is broken

213

other kings will follow the same path.

214

This gorgeous Capital

215

is always the target of those greedy people.

216

What are your countermeasures?

217

Like the old rules

218

The diversionary tactics for the nobility

219

In the past

220

not all kings were willingly fight for the Empire.

221

But now the lion comes,

222

all must defend themselves together.

223

Send the letter to Baili Jinghong

224

At all costs

225

stop Yin Wuyi before Gubeikou

226

Yes

227

You must have known who sent this letter

228

It must be from her Royal Princess Bai Lingbo,

229

from the Capital Tianqi.

230

I can have this status among all the nobility

231

All because of her highness

232

The idea of forming an alliance with Qingyang tribe

233

also came from her highness

234

I can do nothing but obey her order.

235

Her highness doesn't agree with the peace treaty

236

and demands you to defend Yin Wuyi.

237

The same old tactics of the Royal Family,

238

if they want to terminate one kingdom,

239

they will do it after an initiative move from the other kingdom.

240

His majesty is always high above

241

watching the marquess sacrifice.

242

Can you refuse?

243

If we refuse

244

that means we give up her kindness.

245

From then on

246

We should forget to have the grace of the emperor.

247

Few woman in the world can take rejection easily.

248

If I reject her once

249

She will remember it for ten years

250

Among allies in the world

251

who you are sure is your friend?

252

We all have interests for exchange

253

I am here in this Nanhuai City because I need your help

254

For so long

255

It's also true for her highness

256

Now Yin Wuyi is waving his sword to the capital

257

The world is in a trouble, and everyone will panic

258

The one who can defeat Yin Wuyi

259

will be much elevated in the status among the Marquess

260

So the war between us and Li,

261

in which lies great benefit as much as risk.

262

I know

263

What I am concerned,

264

is the military power between us.

265

The only power we can get now

266

which we have exchanged with 100,000 Dan of provisions

267

The Northlanders are ruthless and have arrived not long enough

268

to be ordered around by us, I am afraid.

269

King Jiu is very sophisticated man

270

Before the marriage

271

I am afraid that he won't agree to send out his troops

272

Now we have tigers and wolves living in our house,

273

the only way to keep them from hurting us,

274

is to send them out to bite others

275

King Jiu won't agree to send out the troop

276

I also have countermeasures

277

As long as a man is sent on the battlefield,

278

King Jiu will have no choice but to send his troop.

279

You mean the crown prince?

280

You are so wise

281

and have backup plans always.

282

But we just reached peace treaty with Li for days,

283

now I have to break the treaty

284

Now my decision will be like a joke to others.

285

No

286

You have your own difficulties

287

In the turbulent times, we need to take advantage of the trend

288

This is a good opportunity for us to be conquer the Eastland.

289

Your opponent is a prisoner from Li

290

They were humiliated on the battlefield

291

They have the anger of revenge in the heart

292

If they have swords in their hands

293

They will beat your into a pulp

294

If they still have nails

295

They will pierce the nails into your throat

296

This practice is the closest you can get away from the real battlefield.

297

Then today

298

You will team up in two

299

Good luck

300

A reminder,

301

Even staying in the same cell with these beasts

302

for a long time.

303

Don't forget one day when you meet on the battlefield,

304

they will kill you if you show your mercy.

305

As a warrior,

306

you should always be decisive.

307

You two young boys

308

are exactly the same I saw on the battlefield.

309

Soldiers of Xiatang have no determination

310

and look weak.

311

Asule

312

She is our enemy

313

Ji Ye

314

Let go of him

315

On the battlefield, people like you

316

will be the ghost under my machete

317

You are a woman

318

We don't want to hurt you

319

You chose to step back even though you are holding a weapon.

320

This is why you lost.

321

Kill him

322

Do it now.

323

Losers.

324

Even can't be a good prisoner

325

Why do I have to keep your life?

326

But what she said is right.

327

People who step back while holding a weapon

328

are destined to be a loser

329

So you should learn from it

330

And

331

if you do this again on the battlefield in the future

332

I will punish you with military law for sure

333

Whether you are a crown prince

334

or a despicable adulteress child.

335

No exception

336

Asule

337

You have sympathy right?

338

I was sent to Xiatang

339

They told me to learn all the military knowledge of Eastland

340

I fought for the first time today

341

but the only thing I saw is cruelty and blood

342

Take the captive as a target

343

She is a woman

344

The masters arranged these prisoners as our opponents.

345

To show us how they fought.

346

Asule

347

You are not from Xiatang

348

Li's warriors are not your opponents.

349

It's normal that you have sympathy

350

Maybe

351

Ji Ye

352

A few years ago

353

My teacher asked me if I wanted

354

to kill people when I hold the sword.

355

But the reason I hold my weapon

356

is to save lives.

357

I have heard about what happened in palace Ji

358

Officer Su

359

I have a question

360

Is there really demons in this world?

361

The real demons live in people's heart

362

The evil in people's heart

363

gives birth to thousands of demons

364

Your highness

365

Please promise me one thing.

366

Say it

367

Please protect yourself well

368

As for Wuyang lord

369

No matter what he did, please believe

370

it's not his intention

371

He embraces too much anger in his heart.

372

And wants to prove himself

373

I don't know why Wuyang lord must do this

374

But I will remember what he said to me and Ji Ye

375

The one who inherits the Zhantie sword

376

should protect more people.

377

I have heard of this before

378

He also had a unique sword

379

just like you

380

he thought of the world with all his heart.

381

What happened to him then?

382

Then

383

He became a hero

384

but died from numerous wounds from swords.

385

Your majesty

386

The crown prince has been studying in the palace these days.

387

Everything is normal as usual

388

Nothing peculiar

389

But I know

390

In the training yesterday

391

he had a narrow escape from Li's prisoner

392

Also had some conflicts with Wuyang lord

393

It's either your negligence

394

or you are partial to Yin'er

395

Forgive me, your highness.

396

I will guarantee the crown prince's safety

397

I won't make the same mistake again

398

I know you

399

And I won't punish you

400

Yin'er is an adult.

401

A few days later

402

I will take him to the underground palace.

403

It's your time to take out the ring that you keep for Yin'er

404

Your majesty

405

That sword is an extremely dangerous weapon

406

I don't think he can control it now

407

The sword belongs to him.

408

Only Yin'er

409

can become the master of the sword

410

You should know the power of the sword

411

Ordinary people can't get near it.

412

The sword has not only bears his father's soul

413

but also the souls which died from it.

414

It's too scary to imagine

415

Indeed, Yin'er is the most likely to own the sword

416

But with his current temperament

417

he can't do this, your majesty

418

But his father used to take the sword out

419

Right?

420

Only the owner of it

421

can become the leader of Tianqu warriors.

422

Every owner of the sword was the great hero.

423

Take out the sword

424

Then they will become the heroes in people's eyes

425

You also know it

426

My hope for Yin'er is not only the sword

427

but also the whole Xiatang

428

Please reconsider

429

Yin'er is just a child

430

I only hope

431

Yin'er can spend his life safely

432

Please spare his life, your majesty.

433

He is no longer a child

434

You are no longer his adoptive mother.

435

From the day you took him to me

436

He had only one future.

437

Either become a hero with a sword

438

Or

439

Live like a coward

440

You make him a coward now

441

He would rather die

442

You still have time.

443

You can leave

444

You brought dirty things in

445

They dare not come in

446

What do you want to know?

447

I am looking for a sword

448

Then you are in the wrong place.

449

The shop next door sells weapons.

450

The sword could not be found in the weapons shop.

451

What you want to ask is an old thing.

452

But it's too far back to recall

453

Tell me what you know

454

I know

455

A young man called You Changji

456

He took a boat

457

down the river

458

He took a heavy ancient sword like a hero

459

Unfortunately

460

he encountered the assassination of Tianqu's warrior

461

but he defeated dozens of people alone

462

I am not asking about the man

463

I am asking about a sword.

464

I don't know the whereabouts of the sword

465

Maybe someone else will know

466

At the night of a full moon

467

You should come again with enough money

468

Recently, the safflower is blooming.

469

I personally picked some

470

and asked the cook to make safflower biscuits.

471

And you can have a try.

472

I remember the times I took you with me

473

From the Jinbei, we came to Nanhuai by boat

474

You were very alert on the road.

475

You were better when we arrived at Nanhuai.

476

Among the specialties there

477

You can find your favorite pastry

478

Especially the safflower biscuits made of petals

479

You ate one every day.

480

Officer Su

481

I am no longer a child.

482

I don't have to eat some pastries every day before go to sleep

483

You used to talk a lot to me in your childhood

484

Now the older you grow,

485

the less you will talk

486

Then I will go back now

487

Office Su

488

I have something to ask you.

489

How did my father die?

490

Princess Rose's biggest wish

491

was to see Emperor Rose take the throne

492

So he launched attack on Shangyangguan at all costs

493

So if you love someone

494

you need to make her happy

495

It seems that you enjoy this legend.

496

Yu Ran

497

You are here

498

I heard of Emperor Rose's story

499

I like it

500

Do you miss me?

501

Chubby

502

If you like him, come often

503

Anyway, he also likes to play with you.

504

I thought it's not convenient for you to come here

505

We are all brothers and have a drink together.

506

From now on

507

We are in the same trench

508

We have left from home and live under other's roof

509

But don't worry.

510

In the future I will protect you like a big brother.

511

Great

512

It's OK.

513

Let's go

514

Let's go find Ji Ye and go to Ghost City.

515

Go

516

I have checked all the relative records

517

But in vain

518

I only know my dad was from Jinbei.

519

Born in the official family and worked for the royal family.

520

And his another secret identity

521

Is Tianqu's suzerain

522

One day he suddenly left the capital

523

took Tianqu's sacred weapon Cangyunguchi sword to Nanhuai

524

But he was killed by an unknown man.

525

It's true

526

Who killed him?

527

Yin'er

528

Some of your questions

529

I know

530

Some of them, I don't know

531

Some people think that he is a sinner

532

But in fact, he was innocent

533

People all over the world wanted to kill him that year

534

He suffered numerous ambushes along the way.

535

But for who succeeded in the end?

536

It's till today a pending case

537

His majesty told me that Chen Yue killed my father.

538

What do you think of it?

539

I don't think it's true

540

Chen Yue was your dad's enemy indeed

541

But your dad's enemies were far more than Chen Yue

542

His majesty wants you to hate Chen Yue

543

Then you will want to inherit your father's sword.

544

Tianqu's power is still lurking in all corners of Eastland

545

His majesty hopes Tianqu could be at his disposal

546

He is an ambitious man

547

Each of us is his pawn

548

You

549

I

550

Qingyang's crown prince

551

Even for state preceptor

552

You mean his majesty wants to take advantage of me?

553

You are the most promising man to become a sword master

554

Officer Su, you know

555

his majesty takes me as his pawn

556

Then why did you take me to Xiatang?

557

You were still young at that time

558

Your dad's enemies were all across Eastland

559

How could you be alive without the protection of the country?

560

Officer Su

561

you are not his majesty's running dog?

562

Officer Su

563

When I met you

564

You were only sixteen years old

565

I regarded you as my own sister.

566

And I always want to have a sister like you

567

So beautiful

568

also can take care of me

569

Full of charisma

570

But now I think

571

many people killed my dad

572

And you

573

are one of them right?

574

You enjoy seeing fish very much.

575

I am just thinking

576

Are we like the fish in this pool?

577

And think we are swimming in the sea.

578

Actually

579

it's only a pond

580

You are thinking

581

do we live in the pond

582

Actually till we die, we don't know where we are

583

You should have come a few days earlier

584

Zilinqiu is in full blossom

585

but now

586

they are withering

587

Flowers not in the season are destined to wither

588

The improper people

589

will leave after all

590

His majesty has seen me.

591

He wants to let Yin'er go to the palace for the sword.

592

I have seen it coming

593

He has been waiting for a long time

594

Just for this moment

595

Shunqin

596

You should leave

597

Leave?

598

I will not leave

599

Just like general Xi guard these flowers

600

I also have something I want to guard.

601

What you really need to guard

602

is not the sword

603

But that man

604

You are not a Tianqu warrior

605

Responsibility for guarding the sword

606

Shouldn't be yours

607

But the man who can guard the sword

608

Has been killed

609

What are you doing this for?

610

Just because he saved you

611

You have to bear the shackles for your entire life?

612

Everyone has his cage in the world

613

That sword is my cage

614

Look at that building

615

We don't know the vast Novoland without coming to the ghost city.

616

Correct

617

Ghost city is so wonderful

618

This man is from Kuafu tribe

619

look

620

That man is from Heluo tribe.

621

And Yu clan

622

Why no Yu clan?

623

Yu clan?

624

I am here

625

Yes

626

Yu Ran, you really can fly?

627

Of course

628

I will show you

629

Wait

630

I can't fly today.

631

It's OK

632

You can't fly today

633

you should inform us if you want to fly

634

We will see you fly to the sky

635

OK
