[Episode 37]

4

I want to know what's happened.

5

Mr. Yi is right.

6

The more you remember, the more painful it'll be.

7

I don't want to bring up the bad stuff.

8

But no matter if they are happy memories or unhappy ones,

9

they are all things that have happened to me.

10

I can't escape it.

11

So, no matter what happened,

12

you can normally use your heart to see it, right?

13

I promise you, no matter what's happened in the past, I won't go after it.

14

But I must know what really happened.

15

You lost your memory . . .

16

It's because . . .

17

Oh, it's Crown Prince and Her Highness.

18

I heard something outside and thought the bandits were here.

19

So I came to check.

20

We also heard some noises outside.

21

It turned out to be two wolves fighting.

22

It's cold. Mr. Yi and Crown Prince should head inside to rest, the sooner the better.

23

Aiyah.

24

Aiyah.

25

Wait for me. I want to play too.

26

Come here. Come here. Hang this up.

27

You can't look at it.

28

Ok, I won't.

29

Not this branch. That branch up there.

30

Higher up.

31

Wait for me.

32

Hurry up!

33

Be careful.

34

- Is it this?

- No, the one one this side. This side.

35

That's the one. That's high up.

36

Yu Er.

37

Mr. Yi

38

When you and Ji Ye were in Nanhuai, you were old friends?

39

No, I wasn't born in Nanhuai.

40

No wonder.

41

The other night I saw you dance.

42

It didn't look like a dance from Xia Tang.

43

Could it be from the grasslands?

44

Does Mr. Yi think I'm also from Qingyang?

45

You've experienced so much. How could you guess incorrectly?

46

I'm actually . . .

47

Is what?

48

There's no harm in telling you.

49

Let me tell you a secret.

50

I'm actually an orphan Lord Bai Li picked up outside his window.

51

Bandits are coming! Bandits are coming!

52

This is bad.

53

- Bandits are coming!

- Don't pick it up anymore!

54

Help him. Bandits are here.

55

- What's happening?

- Hurry and hide. The bandits are coming.

56

- Bandits?

- Hurry!

57

They are here to steal the gains for this year.

58

Go hide! Quickly!

59

Over there, quick!

60

Hurry, run.

61

Run, run, run.

62

Run now!

63

This way.

64

Hurry up!

65

Don't panic! Quickly!

66

Quick. Go! Go!

67

Go!

68

Go over there.

69

Don't leave.

70

Kneel.

71

I'm here to impose on the village again.

72

Although we know you don't want to see us,

73

if we bandits don't come out to loot, we'll starve to death.

74

All of you are our mothers and fathers for now. We won't harm you.

75

Just do as per norm.

76

I am aware of what benefaction you Sirs are looking for.

77

I hope that Shopkeeper Li will leave us with enough grains to last the winter.

78

- Little girl. Don't be afraid. You must be an outsider.

- Who is it?

79

Every time I've come here, how come I've never seen you before?

80

- Good.

- Let go of me!

81

Let me go or I will scream!

82

Go ahead and yell. Yell!

83

- Let me tell you. No one's going to come and save you.

- Help!

84

- Save me!

- Your village... If it wasn't that our Shopkeeper Li pities you,

85

it would've vanished long ago.

86

- Be good and listen to me.

- Help!

87

Help!

88

Help!

89

Save me!

90

This year, the situation outside is very chaotic.

91

There was huge chaos in Revelation City.

92

Village Leader, did you hear about it?

93

We are a poor country village.

94

We only want peace in the village. We don't dare to ask whether the world is peaceful or not.

95

Village Leader, I envy your life.

96

But we are people who get our food with our knives.

97

Chaos is good news to us.

98

I want to take my brothers out to investigate on the mountains.

99

Whether or not we can meet again next fall

100

is difficult to determine.

101

Shopkeeper Li, you want to be someone with outstanding morals and achievements?

102

New people have come to the village?

103

Why would there be anyone new?

104

How can there be anyone new? Oh, this kid. He was born in the village.

105

A few years ago, he went to the Capitol to do business.

106

The Capitol is in chaos now.

107

Since he can't do business, he returned to our village.

108

The eyesight looks sharp.

109

Do you want to go to the chaotic world to make a living?

110

No, don't. How can he go there?

111

He couldn't even make a living in the capital.

112

Forget it. I know that you watch over your villagers very closely

113

but these brothers of mine are leaving the mountain to join the army.

114

The expenses for the sending off and food should be borne by the people here.

115

We are here today to seek seek gratuitous financial help and leave half of it behind.

116

We won't keep any balance for this year.

117

Food and protection to get through the winter.

118

- What do you think?

- This...

119

Come here.

120

The brothers came out in too much of a hurry.

121

They are still hungry.

122

This way, please. Hurry.

123

Everyone, get up.

124

Get up now.

125

Otherwise, we're all dead. Hurry up.

126

Iron Emperor, wouldn't the both of us be able to kill these bandits?

127

We can but after killing them, we still need to find a new place to live temporarily.

128

Chenyue and Grand Princess' spies are everywhere in the kingdom.

129

They won't care about the two of you.

130

But as for Her Highness and Crown Prince, they'll definitely kill them.

131

Oh-oh.

132

Little Zhou and Asule are still in the house.

133

Asule.

134

Asule. Asule.

135

What should we do?

136

It's okay.

137

Yu Ran, take Her Highness inside.

138

- Yi'er, don't let him see blood.

- Okay.

139

- Let's go.

- Hurry.

140

Asule, sit down.

141

- Asule.

- It's okay.

142

Yu Ran, keep a good eye on them.

143

Did the princess receive any humiliation?

144

She should be okay.

145

Something's fishy about this dagger. It should be forged in the capital.

146

Let's not talk about this first. I'm sure the bandits have contact with the outside world.

147

Otherwise, this village wouldn't be able to support them.

148

So we can't let them know that this bandit was killed.

149

That's right.

150

Take care of this corpse and clean up the area quickly.

151

Okay. Leave it to me.

152

One's dead. The bandits won't let this village get away with it.

153

I'll go see the Village Head first.

154

Okay.

155

Mr Zhan, you are here just in time.

156

Li Zhanggen suddenly just returned again.

157

He said one of his brothers is missing and he wants us to produce him.

158

I really don't know what we should do.

159

You are an experienced man. Help us to handle this.

160

Bandits come and go. Sometimes, there's more of them, and sometimes, there's fewer of them. It's nothing out of the ordinary.

161

In my opinion, Li Zhanggen insisted that he lost his man here.

162

Furthermore, he won't let us off. He will definitely watch closely on what we have here.

163

Village Head, what are their demands?

164

He wants us to provide three unmarried women.

165

Li Zhanggen, that scoundrel.

166

He's in lust.

167

We can't give them our own daughters and send them to their deaths.

168

You are right.

169

Looks like we can do any offerings to the God of Plague for this year. We can only do this.

170

Everyone, listen up.

171

All able bodied men, set up wooden fences and road blocks.

172

The rest of the women are to knit threads for ropes.

173

No matter what, we must not let Li Zhanggen destroy our village.

174

Okay, go and prepare now.

175

Let's go. Take these along.

176

Hurry.

177

They're people from the Capitol, aren't they?

178

Yes.

179

It was two orphans that my brother took care of in the Capitol.

180

They recognized me so they helped me.

181

Then where are those two kids now?

182

They ran off.

183

They won't sell us out. Mr. Yi, you don't have to worry about them.

184

Right now, the one I'm worried about is Crown Prince.

185

Don't think too much about it.

186

First, have something to eat. You haven't eaten anything all day.

187

It's our fault today.

188

We were too careless so something like this happened.

189

Help! Help!

190

Help!

191

Help!

192

Asule.

193

Asule, help me!

194

Asule, help me!

195

Help me.

196

Asule, help me.

197

Help!

198

You shouldn't stay here. Leave.

199

Hurry, run!

200

It's cold out here. Don't catch a cold.

201

Why did you get up?

202

You should rest.

203

I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect you today.

204

You don't have to tell me sorry.

205

You've kept me safe many times in the past.

206

Yesterday, you asked me what happened in the past.

207

Although I promised to tell you,

208

I'm afraid that it'll hurt you.

209

Were there bad things that happened in the past?

210

Yes.

211

That's why I'd rather have you live a carefree life like now.

212

I don't want you to remember any of the bad stuff.

213

But you're right. No matter if it's good or bad,

214

it's a part of you.

215

I should tell you.

216

What happened in the past? Perhaps, I may be able to remember them.

217

I may not be able to remember them in my life time too.

218

But what happened now, I believe I will never forget it.

219

I won.

220

Lord, you have greatly improved in chess.

221

What do you mean, improvement?

222

(You're thinking about something else). Your mind isn't here.

223

What are you thinking about?

224

Bai Yi has been here for a few days.

225

Yet he has been stalling his troops.

226

I don't know what he's thinking of inside his facade.

227

I brought South Huai's best wine, South Huai Moon Wine.

228

The last time we drank together was 7 years ago.

229

Today, I will accompany you to the end.

230

After tonight, I won't drink anymore.

231

Do you know how many people are waiting to see you, the best general in Eastland,

232

will fight against Ying Wuyi?

233

Shangyang Gate is not an opera stage. Neither are Ying Wuyi and me actors.

234

Once this show begins, it is certain that a bloodbath will happen.

235

I'm afraid that by then, there won't be many people who will really dare to watch.

236

When we first met Ying Wuyi at Qiuyeshan city,

237

We both know that one day, this person's red flags and hunting horses

238

will be drawn into the capital of Eastland.

239

From that moment, I knew that I would definitely battle with this person.

240

Back then...

241

Back then, we were all alone and nameless.

242

We all thought of opening a flower shop in the Capital City.

243

And be living idle and comfortable lives of luxury.

244

Who would have thought that we would become reputable generals?

245

Now it's even a dream to fight a simple and good battle.

246

The face off between heroes that we want is nothing more than a plot set forth by others.

247

You and I are both aware that this battle

248

is merely a trap that the royal family planned for the officials.

249

Since you already knew it was a trap, why did you come?

250

The world is a game of chess.

251

We both know who is behind this.

252

I want to find the crazy Celestial and destroy the chess game.

253

That has nothing to do with me.

254

I've long left Tianqu.

255

Back then when we broke up, you already knew about it.

256

I am Chuwei State's general.

257

My duty is to stop Li State's incursion.

258

I'm neither with Tianqu or Chenyue.

259

Now that we serve different masters, we should avoid meeting privately like this.

260

I knew you were going to say that.

261

But as old friends for so long,

262

actually hearing you say that with my own ears,

263

still makes me feel a twinge of sadness.

264

Back then, you and I really were the best of friends.

265

I will never forget the title of Plain Moon Black Feathers.

266

But we face the realities.

267

Even though the current Xi Yan is not my enemy,

268

is no longer my friend.

269

Here you go.

270

Do you think this can really stop the bandits?

271

When I was at Thunder Brave Camp, I learned how to secure a camp.

272

If we raise these barriers up higher,

273

There shouldn't be a problem.

274

Looks like they really taught you a lot of things.

275

They... They really did teach me a lot.

276

Before, in Lower Tang State, I thought that people in Li State were murderous beasts.

277

But, at Thunder Brave Camp, everyone is the same. We were all bests.

278

There was no difference between us.

279

Unlike the soldiers in Lower Tang, who thought I was different than them.

280

Do you just want to be a Li State person that much?

281

If you become a Li State citizen, you have to listen to that Prefecture Princess's commands.

282

What if she asks you to kill me? Would you kill me then?

283

No— I don't mean it like that.

284

No matter who I fight for or which military camp I'm in, I will always be Ji Ye.

285

I don't care. I won't allow you to see her again.

286

Okay.

287

If you dare to meet her again, I'll get mad!

288

I won't let you go even if I turn into a ghost.

289

Oh.

290

What do you mean, "oh"? You always say that every single day.

291

Even if you think for half a day, you won't be able to say any pretty words.

292

I really don't know what I liked about you.

293

If there weren't the bandits, I'd want to live in this little village for ever.

294

I like this ginkgo tree.

295

If I have any wishes, I can hang a ribbon on the tree for it.

296

That way, the tree god will know what I wished for.

297

But here, there aren't any of the delicious food and fun things to do that you like from Lower Tang.

298

Can you get used to living here?

299

Of course, that depends on who I'm living with.

300

Actually, have you ever thought, the important things in the world involve Asule and Little Zhou,

301

but have nothing to do with you and I.

302

If you were born in this little village and I was born in this little village,

303

then we would be a pair of wild children who grew up together in this village.

304

I think if we lived like that, we would have blessed lives too.

305

Let me ask you something.

306

If you could stay for ever with me in this little mountain village,

307

would you be willing to?

308

Say something!

309

Don't just smile dumbly. Say something!

310

I...

311

I got it.

312

Since you're not saying anything, you must want to find that— That Prefecture Princess Yu.

313

Big baddie! Big baddie! Big baddie!

314

I'll beat you to death!

315

That's not it— I was wrong!

316

I'll speak. I'll speak.

317

What are you saying?

318

You're so heavy.

319

- I hate you! Big baddie!

- Sir Ji.

320

Sir Yi.

321

Sir ji, come over here.

322

- Village Leader.

- I have something I want to ask you to help.

323

Originally, these matters shouldn't bother an outsider like you,

324

but I see that you are a responsible person I can hand matters over to.

325

Village Leader, if there's anything I can do, just tell me.

326

We discussed with Mr Zhan yesterday.

327

We want to build a fort for safety and fight the bandits.

328

This is an urgent task. We need someone to take people into the mountains as quickly as possible.

329

To cut the best woods to erect a wooden fence.

330

But the people in the village don't know how to do these things.

331

I think that you are the most suitable person.

332

Village Leader, you want me to lead the group into the mountains?

333

That can't do, Village Leader. He has bad stamina.

334

He's all over the place when he does his own work. How can he lead the group?

335

You should find someone better.

336

But the youths in the village are weak and don't know how to do anything.

337

At critical times, they can't do anything.

338

It's not easy to be the village leader.

339

I can complete this task.

340

But, Village Leader, I still need enough axes and rope

341

and about 10 youths or so.

342

Village Leader, you must appoint someone on high ground to be in charge of looking out for us.

343

Once the bandits come, they should strike a bell as a warning

344

and have the entire village be ready with bows and arrows.

345

If all of this is accomplished, I can assure that the bandits won't be able to come in.

346

Since you say that, I can rest assured.

347

With you and Mr Zhan here, would we still be afraid of any troubles?

348

How about this? I'll call over some people. Let's meet beneath this ginkgo tree.

349

To not be late, how about heading out today?

350

Okay.

351

Let's go.

352

How come you agree to anything so easily like that?

353

The bandits causing trouble here more or less involves us.

354

So, just let me resolve this.

355

He's just thinking that you're easy to bully. That's why he wants you to go.

356

The village chief is actually right.

357

In this chaotic time, if you don't build your own security, it's difficult to stay alive.

358

Don't you like it here?

359

Then let's just resolve this trouble

360

and peacefully settle down here.

361

Have some water first.

362

Be careful.

363

Help me with this.

364

Here.

365

We're going to find herbs.

366

It has been tough for you.

367

Take note of your safety.

368

Young lad, we will have to trouble you then.

369

Come, catch up.

370

Okay.

371

I seem to possess an extremely formidable sword.

372

What did Little Zhou tell you?

373

What's wrong?

374

The weather's too cold. I'm going to get some clothes.

375

Is it cold?

376

Miss Yu Ran, you must be tired.

377

Drink this hot soup.

378

Thank you.

379

It's so fragrant.

380

It's very delicious.

381

Sir, where are we going?

382

Sir, where are we going now?

383

Ji Ye is at the back of the mountain cutting wood. He lacks manpower. We are going to help him.

384

I brought you here

385

to talk to you.

386

Sir, what do you want to tell me?

387

Crown Prince, you have been able to recall many things lately

388

but you can't remember who I am. Isn't that so?

389

Fine. Let me tell you some of the truth.

390

You have another identity.

391

The Chief Leader of Heavenly Samurai. You are also my leader.

392

When you unsheathed the Blue Cloud Ancient Tooth Sword,

393

I was inspired and afraid too.

394

Because of that,

395

you also are the keeper of the sword.

396

But, you were determined that the Heavenly Samurai could not be aligned with any authoritative power

397

and could not even touch a single blood of injustice.

398

If you could continue to be foggy-minded,

399

perhaps you and I could coexist without problems.

400

A pity that

401

you have started to regain your memories.

402

Once you have recovered your memories,

403

there's already a point of no return for me.

404

Crown Prince, you are so gentle and softhearted, and therefore cannot lead the Heavenly Samurai,

405

while I have devoted my entire life to the Heavenly Samurai.

406

Sir, you want to kill me?

407

That's right.

408

No matter how you see me, I'm going to commit the greatest treason

409

by taking back this Blue Cloud Ancient Tooth Sword and kill you.

410

Stop!

411

Little Zhou.

412

Iron Emperor, if I'm right, you remembered everything that happened in the capital.

413

If Crown Prince remembers everything,

414

how will you be able face the Heavenly Samurai in the kingdom?

415

Princess Little Zhou shouldn't have come here.

416

We have no grudges between us.

417

A pity that today, I must eliminate the both of you.

418

Do you think you can really kill us?

419

Asule, you said that you will protect me.

420

Son, in our night blood, there lies a demon.

421

Enemies are afraid of us and family members fear us. This is your life.

422

In life and death, you can't escape from your fate.

423

The awakened Crown Prince will ignite the world.

424

Iron Emperor,

425

Asule is still a kid.

426

Are you forgetting the Heavenly Samurai's original principle?

427

If he really awakens,

428

he will be the savior who will save the world.

429

I'm begging you. Spare him.

430

I really hope that he's who you said.

431

a weak and feeble Chief Leader

432

who will save the chaotic world.

433

Lord.

434

Emperor Qiangwei's banner pole was erected at this fort back then.

435

I have been thinking.

436

that seven hundred years later, I would actually bring it back.

437

Look, My Lord. Another one of the states' commanding generals must have arrived.

438

But this formation doesn't look to be a military commander.
