3

[Episode 30]

4

The weather's cold.

5

Have a cup of tea to warm your body.

6

Since you are here,

7

why not listen to what I have to say?

8

You just prevented a war.

9

It may seem like a feat to you.

10

No.

11

To me,

12

it's just a minor matter.

13

You called this a minor matter

14

and beyond reproach too.

15

After all, the lives and death of the people is hard for you to empathize with.

16

But if you were to experience death, would you still say this?

17

I would.

18

You are still young and ignorant of many things.

19

After all this talk, you are still a kind person.

20

I will never be kind to you.

21

I will always remember the grudge of Lake Yanhui.

22

If I have the opportunity, I will kill you personally.

23

You know that I don't care whether I die.

24

The reason why I'm talking to you about this,

25

it's to hope that you won't be afraid.

26

Everyone will experience life and death

27

but death is like a butterfly. It will metamorphose.

28

Do you still remember that scroll?

29

I entrusted someone to bring it to you but you didn't read it carefully.

30

Certain things in this world, whether you look at them or not, they are always there.

31

I personally burned that scroll of yours.

32

When you don't look at certain things, they will never disappear.

33

Remember when you met that young girl, Xiao Zhou?

34

It's time you should open that scroll now.

35

Or you should go to that familiar place to look for it again.

36

Why did you call me here?

37

If I remember correctly,

38

you came to this place on your own.

39

Isn't that so?

40

See you again, Crown Prince.

41

Your Majesty.

42

If you didn't show up at this sacred place,

43

wouldn't the capital be the same as it was?

44

I understand your hardship

45

but after all, I'm an outsider.

46

Revelation City is too huge. I can't see clearly.

47

Outsider?

48

Hence, you didn't want me to kill Ying Wuyi?

49

Do you want to turn Revelation City into a battle field?

50

This kingdom is already a battle field!

51

Perhaps you are right

52

but I think that, not everything needs to be resolved by using swords.

53

State Duke Li may not be who you think he is.

54

Ying Wuyi trampled on me and unreasonably wielded his sword in front of me.

55

What should I think of him?

56

But you should also know that, if Li State doesn't go on a crusade,

57

they won't be able to survive.

58

Crusade against who?

59

Crusade against me?!

60

Ying Wuyi has never regarded me as the emperor.

61

If I had known earlier that everything would be in vain,

62

I would have beheaded the traitors of Great Yin on my own.

63

- Your Majesty...

- Crown Prince, don't say anymore.

64

The problems of Great Yin doesn't need an outsider to worry about them.

65

Take your mercy and go back to the grasslands.

66

You like Prefecture Princess Yu Ran very much, right?

67

Yes.

68

If one day, you must kill 100,000 people in exchange for her life,

69

would you do it?

70

Your mercy is not only for me.

71

It's also for Ying Wuyi.

72

The people in the kingdom is very pitiful to me.

73

You hold the sharpest sword in the kingdom

74

but you don't want to use it.

75

Once those people whom you care about are dead,

76

would the sword that you are holding still be useful?

77

I promised Asule yesterday that I would go back to Han Province with him.

78

I heard that before their snow gets heavier, it's extremely cold.

79

We should buy a few capes before we leave.

80

Over there.

81

[Wei Pin Pavilion]

82

Take care.

83

What are you looking for?

84

Work on something else first.

85

Miss, you really know your goods.

86

We transported these furs from Han Province. They are strong and durable.

87

We are the only one who carry these in Revelation City.

88

- Let him try it.

- Okay.

89

Come here and help.

90

From your outfit, you are a soldier of Li State, right?

91

When people of Li State hunts, they fight bare handed with the violent beasts.

92

From the look in your eyes, you can definitely kill a bear on your own.

93

Miss, it's done. Take a look.

94

This cape definitely looks nice but this outfit is rather ugly.

95

Take it off and try it again.

96

Huh?

97

What's wrong? Do you really think you are from Li State?

98

Lady Boss, I want this.

99

Find a similar one for this young lady.

100

Okay.

101

Do you really like this outfit of Li State? Wear this when we leave then!

102

Yu Ran.

103

Lady Boss, reserve these for me. I will return on another day.

104

Yu Ran.

105

Yu Ran, don't be angry. It takes a long time to put on and take off an armor.

106

What's so great about the people of Li State? Why can't you leave them?

107

- Miss...

- Get the money from him.

108

Sir.

109

I grew up in mud too.

110

When I'm with them, I feel more comfortable.

111

Are you saying that you don't feel comfortable with me?

112

It's not that.

113

I...I haven't completed two tasks for the Prefecture Princess of Li State.

114

She helped me to take revenge for my mother. I can't forget her kindness.

115

Why don't you and her...

116

It won't happen.

117

What are you doing? Sit down.

118

Hurry up.

119

Crown Prince's Consort, we meet again.

120

Why do you keep wandering out here instead of staying home and keeping your husband company?

121

Are you bored today? Why do I keep running into you?

122

Yes, I'm came out to look for my slave.

123

Who told you to come out here? Put on your mask!

124

You are not allowed to put it on.

125

Everyone says that people from Li State are barbarians. It's indeed so.

126

They only know how to wave their whips around.

127

Even a good dog knows how not to block other's path

128

but the Prefecture Princess of Li State doesn't know.

129

Why are you stopping here? Go forward now.

130

If I said not to move, who dares to move? Give it a try.

131

Why aren't you moving? Move now!

132

You are not allowed to move!

133

Dear young ladies, I will be late.

134

I rely on this to make a living.. Dear distinguished young ladies,

135

please let me off.

136

- Why don't we...

-Shut up!

- Shut up!

137

Forget it. The weather's nice today. I won't broaden my knowledge with you today.

138

- Ji Ye, go hunting with me.

- Hunting?

139

What hunting?

140

Ji Ye, go fishing with me.

141

Aren't you deliberating finding troubles with me?

142

You can go fishing any other day. He must hunt today.

143

Why must you insist on hunting today? You merely want to take Ji Ye away, right?

144

Fine. I will let you take him away if you win.

145

Speak. What should we compete in?

146

State your choice and we will compete.

147

Fine. This is what you said. Don't regret.

148

Didn't you wanted to go drinking with Ji Ye?

149

Let's have a drinking contest today.

150

If you can defeat me in the drinking contest, I won't take Ji Ye away.

151

I won't say a single word and I won't regret.

152

- Yu Ran, you can't drink...

- Let's drink then!

153

The wines in the capital are not that enjoyable.

154

Isn't that so, Prefecture Princess Yu Ran?

155

It's so boring.

156

What's wrong with the wines in the capital?

157

I think they are much better than the wines from Li State.

158

The wines from Li State are so bitter and not smooth. It's so unrefined too.

159

By saying this, have you drank wines from Li State?

160

Have you?

161

I'm asking you if you have drank them.

162

When did I say I haven't drank them?

163

Have you?

164

I haven't.

165

What are you bragging about then?

166

Forget it. Forget it.

167

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

168

Prefecture Princess, regarding your beauty,

169

I really don't dare to agree.

170

If you don't like us, don't drink our wines then.

171

Fine.

172

I won't fight over your wine with you.

173

But the dog that I took back,

174

don't fight over it with me.

175

Ji Ye...

176

He's not your dog!

177

Ji Ye is mine.

178

He will always be mine!

179

Okay. If you want him to be yours, it's fine.

180

Let's drink. Let's talk again if you can beat me.

181

Let's drink.

182

Yu Ran...

183

Yu Ran, stop drinking. You have drank too much.

184

Stop drinking, okay?

185

Let's stop drinking.

186

Listen to me.

187

Ji Ye.

188

It has been a long time. Where did you go?

189

You are back.

190

I'm back. I'm back.

191

Can you not leave me again?

192

Okay.

193

I won't leave again. I won't.

194

I will never leave you again.

195

I like you.

196

I like you.

197

Let me help you.

198

Crown Prince.

199

It's time consuming and laborious to arrange the ancient books. I will manage it myself.

200

Crown Prince, you are frowning.

201

Something must have happened.

202

I met His Majesty this morning.

203

I can imagine what Older Brother said to you.

204

He has always been alone

205

but he wants a friend.

206

Now that his friend is leaving him, I can imagine how he feels.

207

But, Crown Prince, has matters that he ought to do.

208

Moreover, this capital is not a suitable place for you.

209

His Majesty is really not blaming me for anything.

210

It's just that,

211

I have been thinking about what he said to me.

212

He said that,

213

I hold the sharpest sword in the kingdom

214

and didn't want to use it.

215

He asked if one day, the person whom I care most about were to die,

216

so what if I have that sword?

217

Let's talk about the future next time.

218

I'm different from my older brother.

219

I don't think you are an indecisive person.

220

It's just that you haven't made up your mind yet.

221

Once you have made your decision, you will be more stubborn than anyone else.

222

I hope I still have the time to think about it.

223

Isn't this the scroll that you burned?

224

This gift doesn't has any magical effects.

225

It will contain the truth.

226

Crown Prince.

227

Crown Prince, do you still remember the scroll

228

which I entrusted someone to pass it to you?

229

You didn't read it carefully.

230

Certain things in this world, whether you look at it or not, it will always be there.

231

It's probably here.

232

Why is the map guiding to this direction? How could there be any famous halls here?

233

But the map is guiding to this direction. There must be a reason.

234

They are training here.

235

It's clearly the art of killing.

236

Come with me.

237

I want to eat rice cakes.

238

I'm in a hurry. I will bring rice cakes for you next time.

239

Older Sister Xiao Zhou.

240

Older Sister Xiao Zhou, did you bring any rice cakes for us?

241

I will bring them next time. Go and play.

242

Okay.

243

Look at this map. There is clearly seven stories

244

but there's only give stories here. If the map is correct,

245

there are two stories underground.

246

Let's go.

247

Over here.

248

These are...these are...

249

These are the gold ingots from the Treasury carriage.

250

Treasury carriage?

251

Treasury carriage? What are they doing here?

252

Greetings, Your Highness, Crown Prince.

253

Greetings, Your Highness, Crown Prince.

254

You all...

255

What's going on here?

256

This is His Majesty's private treasury.

257

Only His Majesty knows about this.

258

We are merely guarding this

259

but as you are not an outsider, I believe His Majesty won't be angry.

260

But it's such an important matter. Older Brother has never told me about this.

261

His Majesty said that you have too many problems on your mind every day.

262

It's such a minor matter. His Majesty will take care of this alone.

263

He doesn't need you to know.

264

We were orphans since young.

265

Everyday, we were living hopeless days.

266

Thanks to Older Sister that we are able to survive every day.

267

I wouldn't dare to lie to you.

268

I believe His Majesty has his reasons for not telling you about this.

269

Please don't take this to heart.

270

It's late. We are leaving.

271

We are leaving.

272

It's impossible to transport such a huge amount of gold out of the capital city.

273

You transferred them to a basement.

274

Frankly, you have already opened your private warehouse and used the gold ingots.

275

Those educated kids are even wielding swords.

276

They are your soldiers whom you raised to fight till death.

277

Sun Zhimiao was already your staff from the start.

278

Ying Wuyi wanted money from the treasury for military expenditure, you didn't want to give.

279

yet you want to cover up the truth of already using up the gold.

280

Hence, you made use of Sun Zhimiao and blamed it on Aunt.

281

Who would imagine that the thief was you?

282

How could you say that I'm a thief?

283

Older Brother, you have always been the smartest person.

284

You should have known that you won't be able to hide it from me.

285

I have never thought of hiding this from you.

286

Just ask whatever you want.

287

When did you start to touch those gold?

288

Six years ago, I accidentally found a way to open the private warehouse.

289

Six years ago?

290

Six years ago, Ying Wuyi hasn't arrived at the capital yet

291

and you already touched the gold?

292

For what?

293

It was to compete with Aunt.

294

From the beginning, I only used some of the gold

295

to set up an academy and groom a few fighters.

296

Later, I realized that gold is a good item.

297

It can buy warriors who are not afraid to die.

298

It can also buy loyal subjects and be be used to buy more of them.

299

When Ying Wuyi wanted military expenses,

300

I refused to give it to him.

301

So I decided to empty out the private treasury.

302

I am the Emperor from the Bai family.

303

That private treasury belongs to the Bai family.

304

Do you think I'm wrong?

305

Do you want me to be like the crown prince, sitting around with the sword to wait.

306

Waiting until the Bai family's rule is terminated to start fighting?

307

Will there be enough time?

308

But, Older Brother, don't you realize once you can't end the war easily once you start it?

309

Even if you win the world, it will be a fractured world.

310

Even a fractured world, it would still belong to the Bai family.

311

Older Brother, you know I have never been a real Bai princess.

312

Since the beginning, I've only been your sister.

313

It's because you told me that you wanted to be a good emperor

314

that I've been helping you with all I can to help you.

315

In this world, you are the person that I trust the most.

316

If even you don't approve of what I do,

317

then everything I do becomes meaningless.

318

I will think over carefully of what you've said.

319

Does the crown prince know?

320

Reporting, Crown Prince.

321

Someone left you a letter.

322

Tonight there is lantern festivities for Qing Qiu Festival.

323

Ji Ye and I will wait for you on the Flower Bridge.

324

If you don't come, you're dead!

325

Crown Prince.

326

Princess Little Zhou.

327

This broth is made using ginseng from Jinbei's tribute. I brought it for you.

328

You are so courteous, Princess.

329

- Are you going out, Crown Prince?

- Yes.

330

Yu Ran and Ji Ye asked me to go see the lantern festivities. I was just on the way out.

331

I came to talk with you about my brother.

332

Come in, please.

333

I've visited my brother.

334

He said that he will take good care of the things, but he just needs some time.

335

If His Majesty can do what he says, it's certainly good.

336

Nevertheless,

337

may I ask, Princess,

338

do you really know His Majesty?

339

I grew up together with my older brother.

340

If even I don't know him, then no one else in the world knows him.

341

Crown Prince, do you remember what I told you about my birth during our journey to Yen Fan Lake?

342

When I was young, the rule at Grand Qing Palace dictated that, upon the emperor's death,

343

all his old people would be killed.

344

The reason is to prevent the rebellion by the mother of a young son.

345

Royal rules were always strict.

346

If it weren't for Older Brother, I would not have kept my life.

347

He had just succeeded the throne at that time, only a mere puppet.

348

He had no real power.

349

I saw all the late emperor's old people being dragged out one by one to be executed.

350

He couldn't help saving them even though he wanted to.

351

When it was my turn...

352

I'll send you off.

353

Save me.

354

Go away.

355

Listen to me well! If anyone touches her,

356

I will kill your family up to nine generations.

357

Whoever dares to kill me, he would kill his family's nine generations.

358

That's how I was kept alive.

359

Therefore, whether this capital is a quagmire,

360

or even hell, I would stand by my older brother.

361

But now, there is another person that I want to stand by.

362

That's you, Crown Prince.

363

Princess, you've really endured a difficult life along with His Majesty.

364

But, as a friend to His Majesty, there are times

365

when he feels somewhat unfamiliar.

366

Older Brother has lied to me for many years.

367

I think it's because he can't bear for me to know about the dirty deals.

368

I've been his strategist behind the scenes.

369

In these years, I can't say everything I've done is open and righteous.

370

If you know all about them, you probably would lose all respect for me.

371

No, I won't.

372

It's getting late, you probably should go quickly.

373

It would be a loss to miss the lantern festivities.

374

Per Your Majesty's command, all the evidence have been eliminated.

375

How was the gold taken care of?

376

It's kept in a temporary warehouse.

377

But it's probably not secretive enough.

378

Li State has a lot of spies in the capital.

379

We need to transfer as quickly as possible.

380

Little Zhou and Crown Prince haven't told anyone else, have they?

381

At least the Lord of Li doesn't know yet.

382

Otherwise, the person standing in front of you right now won't be me,

383

but the Lord of Li.

384

Has Chief Leader come to Your Majesty about this matter yet?

385

Only Little Zhou has come by herself.

386

The crown prince may look gentle,

387

but he is very firm in his determination.

388

The Heavenly Samurai, in his view,

389

are meant to safeguard peace and uphold justice.

390

In his eyes,

391

there is a clear divide between good and evil.

392

There is still someone so naive in the world?

393

I was wrong to think I could finish my grand plan with him.

394

But the crown prince is the leader of the Heavenly Samurai Regiment.

395

His view will influence many people.

396

I have wanted to ask Teacher something for a while.

397

Please say it, Your Majesty.

398

Between Chief Leader and Iron Royal, who is Heavenly Samurai's real leader?

399

Since ancient times, whoever is the mater of the Blue Cloud Ancient Tooth Sword

400

is the Chief Leader. Other leaders all follow the Chief Leader.

401

But, after the death of the previous Chief Leader, You Changji,

402

the Heavenly Samurai did not have a leader for fourteen years.

403

Sir Iron Royal kept the organization active by himself.

404

Iron Royal has been through turbulence.

405

He can probably understand my difficulties.

406

If we can get more support from Iron Royal, can we ignore the views from Chief Leader?

407

It's not that simple. The Chief Leader

408

is the master of Blue Cloud Ancient Tooth Sword.

409

Iron Royal may be imposing, but when Chief Leader stands up,

410

Iron Royal would not be able to control the Heavenly Samurai.

411

I'm afraid Chief Leader doesn't trust me anymore.

412

Teacher, you probably don't know about this, but Chief Leader has said he wants to return to Hanzhou.

413

If he leaves the Heavenly Samurai, will the samurai will support him?

414

Yes.

415

What if there is only Iron Royal left,

416

everything would be simplified.

417

Your Majesty, please think carefully.

418

You misunderstand what I meant.

419

You are my teacher and also a Heavenly Samurai.

420

Between the two identities, which one is more important to you?

421

To me, they are equally important.

422

The capital is more lively than South Huai City during Qing Chiu Festival.

423

They say the capital is the most prosperous city in Eastland.

424

Of course it would be more lively than South Huai.

425

Who told you that? If you don't have friends, even the most lively city wouldn't be fun.

426

With friends around, even looking at a small village next to a mountain feels special.

427

Sir Iron Royal.

428

I heard that you are returning to Qingyang, may I speak with you?

429

Can we talk another day? I don't want to keep my friends waiting for long.

430

Just a few words.

431

Go inside, please.

432

Chief Leader, when you came to the divine pathway,

433

I was not surprised at all.

434

In your mind, the Heavenly Samurai Regiment

435

should not have done that, right?

436

Based on your dignified reputation, you understand the Heavenly Samurai

437

a lot more than I do. But, in my view,

438

killing Lord of Li is not something that the Heavenly Samurai should do.

439

Then, what does Chief Leader think the Heavenly Samurai Regiment should do?

440

Protect the peace for all people.

441

Peace? Behind peace there is a price to pay with blood.

442

If one innocent person is killed, but tens of thousands of lives can be saved,

443

would you kill that person, Chief Leader?

444

No, I wouldn't.

445

I admire that you have such a firm belief.

446

Thanks for coming.

447

We're out of sparklers. Why isn't Asule coming yet?

448

Look!

449

- Asule!

- Asule!

450

You and I are not on the same side. We can't continue together.

451
