[Episode 31]

4

What's happened?

5

Let's go take a look.

6

Let me through. Let me through.

7

Crown Prince.

8

Crown Prince! Crown Prince!

9

How did he get stabbed like that?

10

I don't know.

11

Take a look.

12

Asule!

13

Asule, wake up!

14

Doctor! Doctor!

15

Go find a doctor!

16

Please save him!

17

I beg you, please save him!

18

Find a doctor quickly!

19

Is there a doctor?

20

Doctor!

21

Find a doctor!

22

Is there a doctor?

23

Anyone here?

24

Anyone here?

25

Father!

26

Asule,

27

hold on some more.

28

Stay away! Stay away!

29

Asule, hold on a little longer.

30

Don't. Hold on a little longer.

31

Hold on a little longer.

32

Hold on a little longer.

33

Asule!

34

Stay away!

35

Stop!

36

When I was young,

37

I relied on you very much, Teacher,

38

just like a child relied on his father.

39

But I am the Emperor of Great Yin.

40

The Emperor of the world has no father and no other sovereign.

41

For Great Yin's future, I can abandon everything.

42

I'm sorry that I cannot keep Teacher in this world.

43

Please forgive me.

44

Your Highness, Crown Prince's injury

45

cannot be cured. We've done our best.

46

How is the Crown Prince?

47

How is the Crown Prince?

48

Speak!

49

I've paid so much to keep you around.

50

When you are needed, do you only know to kneel?

51

Older Brother, it's not use to be upset.

52

No medicine can reverse death. When Crown Prince was sent here, his heart already stopped.

53

It's Revelation City here.

54

Who dares to kill the Emperor's friend?

55

Older Brother, why don't you take a look at him for the last time?

56

You came here for me,

57

and you also died for me. I promise you.

58

Whoever the killer is, regardless of his status and background,

59

I will make him regret to the utmost.

60

Your Majesty.

61

This man was silly.

62

Even though he didn't have many friends,

63

he had compassion for everyone else.

64

If anyone cheated him with the excuse of justice for the people,

65

he would give his life for the cause.

66

If I had know he was coming to the capital,

67

I would have definitely stopped him.

68

I just hope that Your Majesty will remember,

69

that his death was not for you,

70

but because he believed in justice in the world.

71

I will remember.

72

Your Highness.

73

Weren't you keeping Prefecture Princess Yu Ran company?

74

I suddenly have a question to ask you, Older Brother.

75

What's your question? Just ask.

76

I grew up with you since childhood.

77

There is none other than you who is closest to me in this world.

78

I would believe anything you say.

79

Older Brother, tell me.

80

Do you have anything to do with the Crown Prince's death?

81

What nonsense are you thinking?

82

Do you actually think that just because you discovered the hidden gold,

83

I would use such a vicious method?

84

That was a small matter.

85

I had to do that to counter Aunt.

86

But Crown Prince and the Heavenly Samurai Regiment,

87

I went through arduous hardship to get them as my helpers.

88

Why would I ruin my own defense?

89

I know that

90

you are feeling sad.

91

Not sad, I'm feeling angry.

92

No matter who that killer is, I will definitely find him

93

and let him die the most horrifying death.

94

It's your wish.

95

It's also my wish.

96

With the Crown Prince's death, there must be a lot of worries in the capital.

97

I will be very busy in the next few days.

98

Take good care of yourself.

99

Sleep well when you get back. This too shall pass.

100

Your Majesty, Qingyang's Crown Prince has a unique identity.

101

The Abbey of Hong Lu Temple is not certain about the announcement.

102

Beat the drums, rings the bells, blow rhinoceros horns.

103

I bequeath him a death robe sewn with gold and jade, and his coffin covered with cypress wood.

104

He is to be carried by a hearse with a yellow roof for the funeral procession.

105

Your Majesty, that is the royal funeral for an emperor.

106

Your Majesty, please reconsider.

107

I want everyone in the world to know,

108

the Crown Prince is dead, my heart is dead too.

109

We should make our preparations early.

110

It's lucky that I picked up this belt.

111

Clearly someone wanted to frame me.

112

Qingyang's Crown Prince was the leader of the Heavenly Samurai. When the emperor exonerate the Heavenly Samurai,

113

everyone said it was to curb My Lord's power.

114

Now that he's assassinated, you are the one under the strongest suspicion.

115

That's why the Emperor is giving the Crown Prince a state funeral.

116

The high honor shows how much sadness he feels.

117

He will turn around and point the bayonet at me.

118

It doesn't bother me, but I cautioned that child previously.

119

The royal court is a battlefield. Once you step inside, you can't come out.

120

It's too bad that he didn't listen to me.

121

What do we do now then, My Lord?

122

Any sign from the Heavenly Samurai?

123

The old man, also a Heavenly Samurai, has suddenly disappeared from the Emperor's side.

124

The other Heavenly Samurai, because they hide in the dark,

125

it's difficult to know their movement.

126

But, it's not difficult to guess how they must be feeling now.

127

Send my command to all forces, keep tight watch over all the major routes in the capital,

128

be ready with high alert.

129

Yes.

130

Yu Ran, you haven't slept for a whole day and night.

131

Go get some rest.

132

I'm fine. I want to stay here with Asule.

133

If he wakes up and doesn't see us,

134

he will be scared.

135

Yu Ran.

136

Asule

137

is no longer with us. Don't lie to yourself like this.

138

What are you saying?

139

Isn't he lying here nicely?

140

Are you sleepy?

141

You can go to sleep first. I can stay here with him...

142

Yu Ran, Asule is already dead. Don't torment yourself.

143

Asule is really dead.

144

You are too tired. You should get some sleep.

145

You get up. You get up.

146

Get out! Get out of here!

147

Asule is not dead. Asule is not dead.

148

Yu Ran!

149

Asule is not dead!

150

If Asule is alive, he wouldn't want you to be like this.

151

Yu Ran, the living

152

should stay alive well.

153

Asule is not dead. Asule is not dead!

154

The armor is still around.

155

I wish to use the gauntlet.

156

That is not possible.

157

Even if you put on the Iron Armor, it will not make you infallible.

158

The Blue Cloud Ancient Tooth Sword

159

is a most divine but also most evil among iron-slashing swords.

160

Anyone that wants to touch it

161

will be corroded by its innate spirits. In the world,

162

there are very few people that can resist it.

163

Clearly you are not one of them, Your Majesty.

164

I cannot.

165

Neither can you.

166

That's correct. I've gone through a lot.

167

I don't have an innocent heart. My hands are stained with the blood of the innocents.

168

So I am not guiltless, and am not qualified to be its master.

169

I want this sword

170

only to use it to command the Heavenly Samurai Regiment.

171

It's no longer important if it accepts me or not.

172

Congratulations to Sir Iron Royal for solidly in control of the Heavenly Samurai.

173

I also thank you for your help.

174

I still don't know whether I helped your own ambition

175

or peace in the world.

176

I am the Emperor, and the Emperor is the world.

177

You have already taken your stand with me.

178

Your Majesty must think that I viewed the Crown Prince as my opponent

179

for power and, therefore, helped you secretly.

180

If I really wanted power,

181

then the power over the Heavenly Samurai Regiment wouldn't be enough to satisfy me.

182

Then what is your reason?

183

I gave up on the Crown Prince

184

because he blocked the Heavenly Samurai Regiment from moving forward.

185

While he is sincere,

186

he's too young, too stubborn.

187

He could not allow any imperfection in his eyes.

188

Going forward like this, he would lead the Heavenly Samurai

189

on a road to death, and that's the road

190

we already took many years ago.

191

I would like Your Majesty to remember something.

192

The Heavenly Samurai Regiment will not join any evil doings with anyone.

193

We pledge allegiance to Your Majesty because

194

we believe you will use force to bring peace to the world.

195

But, if Your Majesty ever reverse and take the wrong way,

196

we will quickly become enemies.

197

I shall remember your words, Sir.

198

Come. You must be wet from the rain.

199

- My Lord.

- Come, drink some hot tea.

200

Are there any signs of movements anywhere?

201

In the palace, there is only the funeral and nothing else.

202

It's probably because I retrieved that belt that they don't have any evidence for now.

203

For the Emperor, killing the general and taking over the soldiers is apparently a good tactic.

204

As for the First Princess, she originally didn't want the Heavenly Samurai by the emperor's side anyway.

205

I heard that she's been staying in and not stepping outside at all. About the Crown Prince's death,

206

she has stayed quiet.

207

So it seems both the young emperor and First Princess are both suspects.

208

- Zhang Bo.

- Yes.

- How is the capital's defense?

209

Regarding the capital's defense, we are solidly in control of important roads and the city gates.

210

Jiwu Guards are guarding Grand Qing Palace securely. On the surface, there isn't anything happening.

211

But everyone has increased their alert level. Other than that, there's nothing else much.

212

It feels like the mountain rainstorm is about to come.

(Popular phrase describing the calm before the storm.)

213

If it comes, it comes. The capital city will be turned into a battlefield.

214

It's not bad.

215

Reinforce all defenses. Order the troops outside the capital

216

to be on high alert, be ready to enter the city anytime.

217

Yes.

218

Want to die? How dare you to assassinate His Lordship!

219

Men, drag him down.

220

Get up! Go!

221

Your friend died.

222

You think I did it?

223

I saw it with my own eyes.

224

Xie Xuan took away that red belt.

225

Isn't it what the killed dropped?

226

Every warrior in our Thunder Brave Camp has the same belt.

227

Based on that one belt, you've barged into my manor

228

to find me for revenge?

229

You... You are the one who most wanted him to die.

230

If it's not you, who else can it be?

231

My Lord, he even said this, we can't keep raising a tiger here.

232

According to Li State's rules, he came to avenge for his friend,

233

I will have to accept it.

234

Release him.

235

Give him his weapon.

236

Yu'er, what are you doing here?

237

My slave,

238

if I don't say to kill him, even Father cannot touch him.

239

He came to me for revenge. It's a matter between man and man to be resolved with sword and blade. Get out of the way.

240

Right. Man to man,

241

resolve with sword and blade.

242

Who do you think you are?

243

Know what status you have. When I'm talking with my father, you have no right to interrupt.

244

Don't forget who helped your revenge. You haven't paid all that you owe me.

245

You only deserve to be my dog now.

246

The second mission that I want you to do is.

247

leave here immediately.

248

Go now! Do you hear?

249

Go! Go!

250

Go! Hurry and go!

251

I just said we shouldn't raise a tiger, now we're letting the tiger go free.

252

That's not a tiger that I raised.

253

That's my daughter's tiger.

254

You're actually still following me?

255

Didn't you see I was trying to save you? You should run away now to save your life!

256

How many people in this world can escape from my father's hands?

257

You've escaped once. Do you think there'll be a second time?

258

What I owe you, I must repay before I leave.

259

At that time I won't be your slave anymore.

260

I will then be able to squarely revenge against your father.

261

Do you think you can win?

262

I don't care if I win or not. I don't mind dying by your father's blade,

263

but I can bear seeing the murderer standing in front of me.

264

Murderer? You really don't know my father.

265

If he wants to kill your friend, he would have cut off his head in front of everyone.

266

Throughout Ying Wuyi's life,

267

he has killed countless people on the battlefield.

268

When has he ever used a despicable means?

269

Who else can it be other than your father? Everyone knows that Asule is his strongest enemy.

270

Never used a despicable means?

271

I saw with my own eyes that

272

the Bare-Tooth Army of Li State killed Asule's friend.

273

Bare-Tooth Army is not from Li State. They are trained by the State Preceptor.

274

A viper is supposed to be in league with a viper.

275

Alright.

276

My father is a viper.

277

I am a viper's daughter, and you are a Heavenly Samurai's descendant.

278

So will you kill me, too?

279

It sure is a cold night.

280

Go, buy me a cup of warm wine.

281

Don't you hear your master?

282

I want you to buy some warm wine!

283

You can leave now.

284

I helped you get your revenge, so you owe me three missions.

285

I let you fight for the position of Chief General of Jinwu Guards.

286

Even though you didn't get it, you tried. That was the first mission.

287

Tonight, I asked you to leave with me. That was the second.

288

Just now, I asked you to buy warm wine for me. That counts as the third.

289

From this moment on, you are no longer my slave.

290

You are free.

291

I can't protect you, and can't stop you from seeking revenge against my father.

292

I thought wrong.

293

One can't get to know an eagle.

294

The eagle came to me,

295

it was just to rest its wings.

296

Very soon, sixteen states in Eastland's four provinces will receive the iron certificates from Your Highness.

297

Even if Ying Wuyi is a ferocious tiger, he will be devoured by the horde of wolves.

298

Isn't this what Sir Lei's prophesy said?

299

The lion's claws are broken on a rock.

300

Wolves are devouring each other on the desolate land.

301

There is another line in that prophesy that I can't guess at all.

302

The phoenix is reborn in fire.

303

Who is the reborn phoenix?

304

[Lower Tang, South Huai City]

305

His Lordship arrives.

306

Greetings, My Lord.

307

That day, they commanded him to leave by royal decree.

308

Who would have known the Crown Prince would lose his life.

309

As a subject, there aren't too many choices.

310

Everyone who receives a decree

311

has to fulfill his duty as a subject

312

and pledge loyalty to the emperor.

313

My Lord, what does the iron certificate want us to do?

314

First Princess wants us to send our troops to clean up the court for the emperor.

315

My Lord, may I ask, is our enemy Ying Wuyi?

316

It's Ying Wuyi, but also the Heavenly Samurai Regiment that has been the source of turmoil.

317

My two generals, do you have any ideas?

318

The Emperor has just exonerated the Heavenly Samurai.

319

First Princess sends out the iron certificate right away. The royal family is fighting from within.

320

It's not easy for us to take sides.

321

General Xi?

322

I think we have no other choice. First Princess is probably not sending the command just to Lower Tang.

323

At this time, probably all the lords in Eastland must have received it, too.

324

Right, chaos is really here.

325

General Xi.

326

Present.

327

Gather the troops and be ready to head to the capital.

328

Yes.

329

[Chuwei State, Ming Shuo]

330

First Princess

331

has secretly sent over an iron certificate to clean up the royal court.

332

I have already guessed what it's for.

333

First Princess will say that the emperor is young.

334

The lords around him are not loyal.

335

Using that as excuse, she orders all the state lords to enter the capital by issuing the iron certificate.

336

The first to send troops will be considered loyal subjects.

337

Those that don't respond are condemned as traitors.

338

You guessed right.

339

Actually, when the First Princess calls in all the state lords with the iron certificates, her target is Ying Wuyi.

340

Since Ying Wuyi already has led his army into the capital,

341

then he doesn't mind opening the city gates

342

to let these lords chase after the deer.

343

Won't this start a war?

344

Yes.

345

We will just have to wait to see what happens.

346

But, I'm afraid Chuwei cannot escape getting involved.

347

The smoke of war rises, innocent lives will be lost.
