[Novoland: Eagle Flag]

[Based on a fiction by Jiang Nan]

3

[Episode 18]

4

Several hundred years ago, during an era of darkness,

5

famine came year after year. Bodies of the starved filled the land.

6

people did not have enough to eat.

7

At that time, the Emperor asked two young and handsome noble masters for consultation.

8

One of them advised to let the fittest survive.

9

Kill all the migrants.

10

Even let them fight amongst themselves, and only let the survivor stay alive.

11

The other one didn't say much.

12

He pawned his treasured sword and accessories,

13

so that he could help save as many lives as he could.

14

What happened later? Which method was effective?

15

The Emperor was very tactful.

16

He did not send a single soldier. He let both nobles execute their plans freely.

17

Wherever the first noble went, civil strife arose. Corpses strew the field.

18

The population was reduced, and there was enough food.

19

But they became bandits or turned insane.

20

They slaughtered people and could never live a normal life again.

21

The second young master kept thinking of ways to save people.

22

He wanted to protect the hungry refugees from being slaughtered.

23

Some of the refugees turned crazy.

24

They would hurt him.

25

They even tore off his robes.

26

But he was never upset or resentful.

27

He kept looking for food to feed the hungry.

28

Finally, these migrants kneeled in front of him out of shame.

29

They wanted to follow him.

30

Much later on, this young mater took his followers

31

and devoted himself to stopping the first noble

32

and the crazy bandits he created.

33

You are speaking of the Celestial Ministry

34

and the Heavenly Samurai.

35

You are very intelligent, Crown Prince.

36

But what I wanted to tell you is

37

within every person there exists both darkness and light.

38

Also, everyone possesses optimism and courage.

39

Whether one becomes a saint, hero, bandit, or turn crazy,

40

it is only a choice.

41

Choice?

42

You are by nature a determined and smart person.

43

There are many things waiting for you to take on.

44

But your first choice is

45

not to starve yourself.

46

Eat something, alright?

47

Let's not talk too much to hurt our bodies. Rest well.

48

I will visit you another day.

49

Shunqing.

50

You are dead already.

51

I know.

52

But I can still remember.

53

But,

54

I can never see your back again.

55

Asule, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you.

56

I want to tell you something.

57

It seems that Auntie and His Lordship know that we went into the ancestral tomb.

58

They must have heard about it. Whatever will come will come.

59

Are you afraid?

60

What am I afraid of?

61

It was that idiot Baili Yin that kidnapped and brought me to the ancestral tomb.

62

Besides, you and Ji Ye came to rescue me.

63

It wasn't our fault.

64

At worst, Auntie will scold me a little.

65

She probably will just forbid me from going out again.

66

What are you looking at?

67

The land is wide here, I can see very far.

68

Are those sparrows?

69

That's geese, not swallows.

70

The herdsmen of the North say that swallows fly for hundred of miles and eat bugs.

71

But the geese fly for thousand of miles and eat fish and shrimp.

72

Geese can fly over the sea.

73

This flock may have flown from the north.

74

The north?

75

Asule.

76

Are you homesick?

77

Wait for me here.

78

Don't move, wait for me.

79

Asule!

80

What are you doing?

81

This place may not have pastures of the North,

82

but have you tried riding a horse at this height?

83

Come on up.

84

It's time. They're waiting for you.

85

Where is Ji Ye?

86

He hasn't been found.

87

General Tuoba.

88

What are you doing?

89

Do you not know what the Ji Clan has done?

90

Kneel. Kneel.

91

General.

92

This is my matter!

93

My father is loyal and diligent. He has never done anything against His Lordship.

94

But the Heavenly Samurai are traitors to the royal family.

95

Even nobles must be executed. We will determine if you are a Heavenly Samurai.

96

Do you know they will be punished because of connection with you?

97

How did Prince Wuyang die?

98

Who stole the sacred object in the ancestral tomb?

99

Where are the Heavenly Samurais in the city?

100

I think you know all these answers.

101

It just depends on whether you are willing to talk.

102

General Tuoba, I really don't know what you are talking about.

103

Enough!

104

I will confess, General. Ji Ye is young and knows nothing. He stole my finger guard for fun.

105

There are Heavenly Samurais in our clan.

106

The Ji Clan has had Heavenly Samurais for generations.

107

I, Ji Qianzheng, am the Heavenly Samurai of this generation.

108

I am responsible for all the crimes.

109

My family has nothing to do with it.

110

I never thought that Official Ji was a descendant of a Heavenly Samurai.

111

- No, he is not.

- Shut up!

112

You are a son of a lowly concubine. When do you have the right to speak?

113

General Tuoba, I have already confessed.

114

As long as you let my wife and son go, I will tell you everything.

115

I came on His Lordship's orders. I must hear the truth.

116

It was me.

117

- It was me!

- Silence!

- I am a Heavenly Samurai!

- Silence!

118

You usually spend your days acting strong and appease the nobles from Northland.

119

What right do you have to be a Heavenly Samurai?

120

Shut your mouth. Shut up!

121

Such a young Heavenly Samurai.

122

Will you tell me everything you know?

123

Your Lordship, I have already inquired about the location of the secret meeting of the Heavenly Samurai.

124

I have ordered the Ghost Bat Camp to gather and head out tonight.

125

The Heavenly Samurai will not live past daybreak tomorrow.

126

Don't let anyone of them escape.

127

They have the sword that I want.

128

Yes.

129

I authorize you to be in charge of the entire matter.

130

General Xi is wounded, so let's not bother him.

131

Send some officers from the Ghost Bat Camp to assist him.

132

Yes.

133

I have already plotted for so long for this day.

134

How did these disgusting things come to be here?

135

My Lord, you don't need to worry.

136

We captured these injured Bare-Tooth Army soldiers on the battlefield.

137

Using what the Li State does, we control them with spells.

138

I discovered that the power of these Bare-Teeth soldiers come from the host's blood.

139

Once severely wounded, they lose contact with the host.

140

I utilized this opportunity.

141

You've become their host.

142

Tuoba Jun. You...

143

I pledge my life to serve you with my life, My Lord.

144

The matter has already come to this point.

145

I give you full responsibility over this matter.

146

Hurry up. Hurry up!

147

Hurry up!

148

Take this!

149

Go inside.

150

I'll kill you. I'll kill you.

151

Bring my mother back! Bring my mother back to me!

152

Let go of him.

153

Are you crazy? Are you crazy?

154

He is your older brother.

155

He is not my older brother.

156

He is my enemy.

157

That was for Ji Changye.

158

It's your fault that his mother was killed.

159

That slap was for me.

160

You caused my wife to die.

161

I have been escaping from the Heavenly Samurai all my life.

162

But look at you. You stubbornly insisted on being a Heavenly Samurai.

163

You've betrayed them.

164

Our family has no chance to survive.

165

The one who betrayed the Heavenly Samurai was me.

166

It has nothing to do with you.

167

If they are going to hunt somebody down, I'll be the one they come after.

168

Now you turn heroic.

169

For you to be a hero, you're willing to watch each and every one of us die?

170

This way, at least you won't betray the Heavenly Samurai

171

and can leave yourself a way to walk out of this alive.

172

Dad.

173

The woodshed is on fire! Come help!

174

Follow me to put out the fire!

175

Quick!

176

Hurry! It's over here!

177

- Follow me!

- Why are you dazing off? Quickly go!

178

Quick! Quick!

179

- Where?

- Over there! Over there!

180

- Over there!

- Over there! Quickly!

181

Hurry!

182

Yu Ran? Why are you here?

183

If I don't come, who will help you out?

184

Hurry and leave with me.

185

We're together.

186

Yi Er, go.

187

Our Ji family is a respected noble family.

188

Tuabo has already found what he wants. I don't think he will bother us more.

189

Find the Heavenly Samurai.

190

If they would forgive you, then rebel with them.

191

If they don't forgive you, then run.

192

Run as far as you can. Never come back.

193

But, in this life time, we father and son,

194

I'm afraid we won't have a chance to meet again.

195

Father.

196

What fire? It was just some smoke.

197

Hurry to check the prison cells. Make sure there's no trouble.

198

We won't have time. Let's hurry and go.

199

Go.

200

Go.

201

Go.

202

Ye,

203

you must stay alive.

204

Let's go.

205

Hurry. Let's go.

206

What's wrong with you?

207

What's happened to Father and Chang Ye is my fault.

208

Because of me, they're locked up in the death dungeon.

209

Looks like I won't ever get to see them again.

210

Do you know that there are times when I'm especially envious of you?

211

Envious of me?

212

I envy that you have a family.

213

and a father.

214

I was raised by my aunt.

215

Aunt said that my father died when I was very little.

216

You resent that your family doesn't treat you well,

217

but they're still your family.

218

They wouldn't leave.

219

Wasn't because it was to save you?

220

Since we've already escaped,

221

then let's think of a way to get all of them out.

222

Stop saying stuff like you won't ever see them again.

223

Let's go. Let's go find Asule.

224

He's the Crown Prince. He must have a way.

225

It's too late.

226

What's too late? If we don't get going, then it'll definitely be too late.

227

I betrayed Tianqu.

228

I betrayed Asule.

229

I didn't want my father and Changye to die, so I told General Tuoba about the Heavenly Samurai's secret base.

230

I betrayed my best friend.

231

I betrayed everyone.

232

Who hasn't ever made a mistake?

233

If you made a mistake, then take care of it.

234

Jie

235

Let me ask you one more time.

236

Are you going to leave?

237

Fine.

238

Then I'll wait here with you to die.

239

This young man is the new master of the Cangwu Guchi sword.

240

Unless anyone has any doubts,

241

He will also be the Leader of Tianqu.

242

He will lead us to a glorious path.

243

Iron Royal.

244

If the Iron Royal has no objections,

245

then I don't either!

246

We have no objections!

247

Iron Royal.

248

You doubt this young man.

249

It was he who dared to face Ying Wuyi's machete at the old tomb.

250

I pledge to follow the Chief Leader.

251

I pledge to follow the Chief Leader.

252

Everyone.

253

Iron Royal Sir.

254

I, Guichen, don't dare to accept the title of Leader of the Tianqu.

255

Get up! Hurry and get out of here!

256

Get up. Hurry and get out of here!

257

- Tuoba Shanyue is bringing troops to attack this place!

- Yu Ran?

258

How does he know about this place?

259

It's you who sold us out.

260

Do you know what happens to a traitor?!

261

Kill him! Kill him!

262

Stop!

263

I'm sorry.

264

I had no choice.

265

Let's go.

266

Had I known all these people are so unreasonable! You'll all die at the hands of General Tuoba!

267

Stinky brat. What are you saying?

268

What are you saying? Say it again.

269

Just use your brains and think about it.

270

If he really wanted to hurt you all,

271

then why would he risk coming here to inform you of the leak?

272

His family are either dead or imprisoned.

273

If you were in his shoes, what would you have done?

274

Ji Ye.

275

Everyone, I trust that Ji Ye wouldn't betray us without reason.

276

It's not the time to discuss this right now.

277

Everyone, let's retreat first.

278

Move aside! Make way! Quickly!

279

Step aside!

280

Iron Royal, it's nice to see you.

281

A traitor is a traitor.

282

Did I falsely accuse you?

283

Today, everybody is here.

284

That's just as good.

285

We'll get you all in one shot.

286

Behead the traitors! After tonight, there will not be a Heavenly Samurai left within Tang borders.

287

Protect the Chief Leader!

288

Chief Leader, be careful!

289

Mr. Yi!

290

Ji Ye!

291

Retreat!

292

General, what should we do now?

293

Don't worry. They can't escape.

294

Bare-Tooth Army?

295

A respectable general of the Lower Tang State!

296

You actually used Celestial Ministry's sorcery.

297

Heavenly Samurai, or Celestial Ministry,

298

it is fine as long as it is of use to me.

299

These are gifts that I prepared for the Heavenly Samurai.

300

Iron Royal, you must be careful.

301

Cut the nonsense!

302

If you want to fight, then let's fight!

303

Protect the Chief Leader!

304

Asule, watch out!

305

Chief Lader, hurry and leave..

306

The rest of you, escort Chief Leader out of here quickly!

307

Go.

308

Iron Royal, give me the sword.

309

What?

310

Asule!

311

That day I selected you in Qingyang.

312

Apparently it was by fate's hand.

313

Your sword and your life, I am definitely taking them!

314

Chief Leader.

315

- Chief Leader.

- Asule!

316

Asule.

317

This can't do. We need to quickly leave while there is still the smoke to cover us.

318

Mr. Yi, no one can escape this way.

319

This is my mistake. I will take responsibility for it by myself.

320

Take care of them.

321

Ji Ye!

322

What I want is that sword. Chase after them!

323

Take care of Asule.

324

Who let you come over here?

325

Who said you could be the only one to sacrifice your life?

326

Let's go.

327

- Stop right there! Capture them!

- Hey!

328

Stop!

329

Stop running!

330

- Stop!

- Hurry.

331

Stop running!

332

Catch them.

333

Catch up!

334

Hey! Catch up! Stop right there!

335

Stop running! Stop!

336

They went this way! After them!

337

Stop! Stop!

338

Yu Ran, go back.

339

You're a princess. They won't hurt you.

340

Go!

341

What nonsense are you saying?

342

I'm already a rebel.

343

If we can escape today, I'll accompany you to see the end of the skies and oceans.

344

Stop right there! Don't run!

345

Stop right there! Capture them!

346

Let's jump.

347

Hey!

348

We got away.

349

I think so.

350

Keep searching! Catch them!

351

The soldiers are chasing after us. Quick. Let's go!
