(The tassel crowns the knight. The sword is snow white.)

(In the silver saddle, he rides like a shooting star.)

(He kills a man within ten steps. Invincible he is all the way ahead.)

(He would leave once it's done. No trace of him is to be found.)

(Biography of Wu Su)

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Are you all right?

Yes.

I was just a bit dizzy.

Oh.

What do you think this picture indicates?

This picture

has nothing to do

with the text content.

When you look at this picture,

do you have any special feelings?

It's just a normal picture.

Never mind.

Let's continue.

It's you again!

Is it you

who gave him the wooden box?

If I reply,

will you let me climb up?

You want to climb up

and kill him?

Or why would I take the trouble?

No way.

Too many people in Yangcheng would notice me

so I didn't want to fight you there.

But things are different here.

I advise you one last time.

We can join hands

to kill Xu Fengnian.

Oh.

Mm.

But I don't want that.

Miss,

you should

at least be reasonable!

In this biography,

many testimonies from witnesses have been collected.

That night,

Wang Xianzhi was indeed in the capital.

Not all testimonies

are true.

Witnesses mentioned in it

are mostly alive.

It's not hard to confirm.

I think

the testimonies are true.

Even if Wang Xianzhi was in the capital that night,

he might not be the assassin.

Honestly,

Her Grace

had excellent swordsmanship.

But if Wang Xianzhi fought her,

she wouldn't have left the capital alive.

It at least proves that Wang Xianzhi was involved.

I guess this is why

the wooden box was suddenly given to you.

I understand.

I'm going to Wudi City.

When I see this and get disturbed,

I'll fight Wang Xianzhi directly.

Then, the trick to get me killed by Wang Xianzhi

will be achieved.

Your Highness.

I'm glad you understand that.

(Biography of Wu Su)

But this is a clue, anyway.

Over the years,

the truth is finally beginning to come out.

I protected Huangman'er

and my sisters

because I promised my mother

that I would defend our family for her.

My mother is still in my heart.

She's watching me.

I won't let her down.

I'll find out who murdered her.

Your Highness.

I'm all right.

I'm just...

I'm just a bit disturbed

when I've found a clue after all the trouble.

Don't worry, Grandpa Wei.

I won't do silly things

or act on impulse.

Leave me alone for a while.

I'll think about the whole story.

If you need anything,

let me know.

I will.

(Biography of Wu Su)

Why is the dragon gone?

Senior Li?

Grandpa Wei?

(Biography of Wu Su)

(I've been an immortal for 180 years. I haven't killed a single person.)

(The Heaven's Charm isn't given yet. I stay by the steam of Mount Longhu.)

Mother?

Mother!

Fengnian.

Those who cross Heaven's Gate

can override all mortals.

But I'm not convinced.

I'm not convinced that destiny controls life,

that we can't fight against fate,

that man can't conquer nature,

or that the Unity can be immortal.

I can use my sword

to break open the Heaven's Gate.

Even if demons and immortals come to the mortal world,

I'll kill them with my sword!

I can cut off the destiny

and remove the shackles.

With the unyielding spirit,

I can cut off all the hesitation

and fear in my heart.

Go away, destiny!

I have a blade,

to kill the dragon!

I have a blade,

to kill the Unity!

Mother.

(Biography of Wu Su)

(Biography of Wu Su)

So, it's a dream?

You didn't expect to see me, did you?

Hey.

Time to yell for help.

You're wounded?

I fought with someone by the cliff.

Not a big problem.

Were there a lot of people

by the cliff?

Mm.

A lot of them.

They all came to kill you.

You're sought after.

Where's the man who hurt you?

Off the cliff.

Running into an insane girl is the biggest trouble.

Hope Mr. Zhao Huangchao's plan will work.

The day is breaking.

The fight last night was in vain.

Go.

Let's go for breakfast.

Don't you yell for help yet?

I'm really going to kill you.

The sun is coming out.

In a little while,

the sunrise will be spectacular.

Shall we enjoy the scenery

before the fight?

Why not?

It's indeed spectacular.

Why are you crying?

I dreamed of my mother.

She...

She's gorgeous, isn't she?

You're handsome.

Your mother must be beautiful.

Over the years,

I don't want to believe

that she's dead.

I always think

that she's living in my heart.

Actually, I'm deceiving myself.

What makes you say that?

She bade farewell to me in my dream.

She died.

A long time ago.

I just didn't accept the truth

until now.

Did you bid farewell to her

in your dream?

It was too late.

The scenery is beautiful today.

For its sake,

I'm not going to kill you.

Why do you insist on killing me?

I don't believe you do that for the gold only.

See you.

It's not too late.

Excuse me?

Farewell.

As long as you bid farewell to her,

she will hear you.

Mother,

farewell.

(Biography of Wu Su) This is the dragon

(Biography of Wu Su) you saw in your dream.

Did some patterns

and a picture

get me into a dream?

They only worked on you.

The one who prepared this

must have known you very well.

Did he do this

only to make His Highness have a nightmare?

He wanted to use the nightmare

to ruin the dependence and reliance

in your heart.

I guess in your heart, your mother is the most important.

Right.

He wanted to attack you spiritually

so that you would break down and become desperate.

How did you get over it?

I destroyed them in my dream.

If you hadn't taught me

Open the Heaven's Gate,

I wouldn't have managed to do that.

Not everybody can make it.

Now that you've got over it,

no tricks of this kind

can influence you anymore.

But who do you think

sent this to us?

No matter who sent it,

he'll come again.

Let's set out.

To Mount Longhu!

His Majesty summoned you to the palace.

His Majesty summoned you to the palace.

Let me sleep for a bit longer.

Why did His Majesty

summon me at this time of day?

An urgent message came from Yangzhou

that your son met Cao Changqing in Yangcheng.

One of the top three martial artists?

Your son's maid is the princess of West Chu.

You know that, don't you?

I do.

Then why do you keep her in your mansion?

When the princess

serves as a maid,

it's the pride of North Liang.

Cao Changqing

recognized the princess

and fought your son!

Li Chungang was around him, wasn't he?

Li Chungang and Cao Changqing

had a fight, but neither of them won.

Before Cao Changqing left, he said

that he would go back to West Shu.

Your son's maid

would be the queen.

When the queen serves as his maid,

he'll be imposing.

Imposing?

Evidence shows

that Jiang Ni

has been trying to kill Xu Fengnian since she was little.

Looks like

she hates him a lot.

My son

will be stuck in romance tricks.

Girls all hate him.

Do you get it?

The new queen of West Chu wants to kill Xu Fengnian.

At last, I can

have a sound sleep.

Seriously?

Xu Xiao!

Ouch.

Don't yell.

Come on.

Lie down with me.

Come on.

The wind is rising.

Any problem?

Jiang Ni?

Keep your voice down.

Cao Changqing made the wind rise?

I asked him to cover me

so that I could sneak back.

I thought Cao Changqing would stop you from coming back.

When you're in danger,

Cao Changqing won't help to save you

unless Jiang Ni is around you.

Do you get it?

I came back to ask you for money.

I've served as your maid for so many years.

When I have to leave,

shouldn't you give me some allowance?

When you're really leaving,

I'll give it to you.

I've promised Mr. Chess Master

that after you leave Mount Longhu safely,

I'm going to West Shu.

Anyway,

he also said

that our residence in West Shu

would be a good thing for North Liang.

I would rather that you stayed.

So that you could order me about?

All right.

You should be careful.

Except those who you trust,

don't let anyone know

that I'm back.

Mm.

What about Yu Youwei?

She's staying with Mr. Chess Master.

He said

he would tell her

about all supporters of West Chu.

She'll be my lady-in-waiting.

Her Grace isn't noticed, is she?

What if I kill Xu Fengnian?

Without a reason,

why must you kill Xu Fengnian?

When Her Grace has her way to go,

she can't be stuck in love affairs.

Only a loner

can establish the monarchy.

Nonsense.

I made a slip of the tongue.

I didn't mean that.

I get it.

I won't kill Xu Fengnian, then.

When Li Chungang is around,

I can't kill Xu Fengnian, anyway.

Xu Xiao?

When His Majesty has summoned you,

there'll be a result

for your son's inheritance problem.

But you're ignoring His Majesty.

What...?

What do you want?

I don't want to do anything.

He's kept me here for so many days without seeing me.

Why can't I keep him waiting, too?

It's not time to be angry with His Majesty.

Why don't you understand?

The more arrogant I pretend to be,

the more relieved His Majesty will feel.

All right. All right.

You always make sense.

If you still don't go,

the carriages from the palace

will block the gate.

What?

Why are you lying down again?

You're right.

I shouldn't push it.

Let's go to the palace.

Oh, yes.

That's great.

Be patient.

You were tricked

and caught in a nightmare?

Who did that?

This is what confuses me.

I can't figure out who's capable enough to trick me.

Why are you staring at me?

He's an idiot.

And he isn't experienced in the martial world.

It makes sense that he can't recognize martial tricks.

But what about you?

You're the God of Sword.

You have no idea, too?

I...

I've been hiding under Tingchao Pavilion

for so many years.

How do I know

what masters have appeared

in the martial world in recent years?

I'll go ask Mr. Chess Master later.

What about the female assassin?

Why didn't she kill you at that time?

I don't think

she wanted to kill me.

Let's think about it.

Did she hurt me twice

just to kill me?

After she assassinated me for the first time,

I rose from the dead.

I absorbed the genuine spirit forcibly

and enhanced Dahuangting to the fourth level.

And then,

she assassinated me in Yangcheng.

As the saying goes,

fortune and misfortune are intertwined.

Your wound

would be helpful, anyway.

When I killed Liu Liting in Yangcheng,

I could have caused problems.

But her assassination

caught the Lu Family in a dilemma.

Just because I was wounded,

the crisis was defused.

Two assassinations

were helpful to me.

So, you think she's been helping you?

Before today's sunrise,

she had the best chance to kill me.

But she didn't.

Could it be

another arrangement of Xu Xiao's?

I don't know.

As I'm going east,

I feel

that I just can't see through Xu Xiao.

(The Imperial Study of the Imperial Palace of Liyang)

You came early, Prime Minister Zhang.

Mm?

Who else is coming?

His Majesty also summoned General Gu Jiantang.

Unfortunately,

he's having a recurrence of the wound.

Today,

he can't come.

Of course, a coward like him

doesn't dare to come and see me.

During the national wars,

there were four famous generals.

Gu Jiantang is as famous as you.

After Liyang ruled the world,

you settled

in North Liang

and became the lord.

Gu Jiantang, however,

abandoned his troops

and came to the capital alone.

For national affairs,

he has been straining every nerve.

Our people

will judge

who is loyal and who is treacherous.

Without doubt,

a sinister man

like Gu Jiantang

is the most loyal.

So,

maybe he can be

the best candidate

to take over North Liang.

If he takes over North Liang,

will His Majesty

feel relieved?

Don't gossip about His Majesty.

Oh.

I'll say no more.

Where's His Majesty?

He summoned me.

Why hasn't he appeared yet?

His Majesty is feeling unwell

and he won't see you.

Then why did he summon me?

Here's an oral instruction.

His Majesty wants to ask you a question.

If your son takes over North Liang

and inherits the throne of North Liang,

do you still want to be Grand Commander?

When doing business,

people gain some and lose some.

I understand.

What do you understand?

I'm too old and muddleheaded

to take such an important post.

Tomorrow, I'll submit a report

to resign as Grand Commander.

Good.

According to His Majesty,

you don't need to kneel for this.

Now that you resign as Grand Commander,

the throne of North Liang

should be inherited by your son.

The North Liang Army

will still belong to the Xu Family.

(Xu Fengnian is permitted to inherit the hereditary throne of North Liang...)

This is a national affair.

Do you really take it as a business deal?

Don't be angry, Prime Minister.

His Majesty said

that North Mang cast covetous eyes on us

and the people of West Chu wanted to make trouble.

We're threatened by growing crises.

We need

North Liang Army to defend the world

and relieve worries from His Majesty.

The hereditary system of North Liang

will cause trouble in the future.

I...

I ask to see His Majesty.

His Majesty is feeling unwell

and he won't see you.

One more thing.

His Majesty ordered

that Prime Minister Zhang

should be the witness of this case.

In the future,

no officials shall make improper comments.

How can we stop others

from commenting?

No one else can stop them.

But you can, of course.

Looks like in His Majesty's eyes,

Prime Minister Zhang,

you can awe all the other officials.

His Majesty thinks so highly of you.

I'm indeed jealous.

I...

I've been racking my brains

for the prosperity of Liyang.

God knows how loyal I am.

Mm.

Don't worry, Prime Minister.

I'll tell His Majesty

what you just said.

Han Shengxuan,

North Liang still belongs to my family.

What do you think of it?

Thank you, My Lord,

for remembering my name.

The ownership of North Liang

is a national affair.

I don't dare to comment.

People call you Han Diaosi.

After this name is used for a long time,

don't forget

your real name Han Shengxuan.

I'm from a humble family.

I don't dare to forget my real name.

Mm.

A man

should not

forget his origin.

Also,

he should not overstep his authority.

I'll keep in mind

your instruction, My Lord.

Hereditament. Hereditament.

A lot of people tried to stop it,

but I made it at last.

Shouldn't you congratulate me?

Congratulations.

Mm.

Congratulations.

All right.

I'm going back to North Liang.

His Majesty

indeed approved of the hereditament

for North Liang.

(Zhao Danping, Longhu Arch-Taoist) What will Xu Xiao exchange

(Zhao Danping, Longhu Arch-Taoist)

(Zhao Danping, Longhu Arch-Taoist) for that?

He resigned as Grand Commander.

Grand Commander is a glorious position,

but he has no power.

There's growing unrest in West Chu.

His Majesty certainly wants stability in North Liang.

But he's nursing a viper in his bosom.

What about Gu Jiantang?

Didn't he say anything?

He took a sickie.

Is he going to stay in the capital

for the rest of his life?

I guess

His Majesty will make him Grand Commander.

His Majesty

doesn't want Gu Jiantang to leave the capital

in case of calamity for the future.

Will we just watch the Xu Family

rule North Liang from generation to generation?

His Majesty approved of the Hereditament,

but it doesn't mean

Xu Fengnian can live until he takes over North Liang.

Among Four Longhu Arch-Taoists,

only you can stay in the capital

all year round.

Over the years,

you've written

a lot of sacrificial articles.

Aren't you fed up?

There's no future for Mount Longhu

unless the court is in peace.

If Xu Fengnian takes over North Liang,

it won't be a good thing

for the world

or Mount Longhu.

You want me to go back to Mount Longhu

and kill Xu Fengnian?

There are four Longhu Arch-Taoists.

Zhao Xituan.

He's your brother's master.

He'll show some respect to you, I guess.

Zhao Danping is the worst-tempered.

He resides in the capital,

known as Scholar of Sacrificial Article.

He hasn't been back to Mount Longhu for years.

You don't need to worry about him, either.

You should pay attention

to Zhao Xiyi who has the highest seniority.

Also,

pay attention to Zhao Danxia,

Chief of Arch-Taoists' Office

and the most powerful leader of Taoism.

They two are horrible enough.

Xu Fengnian

is Xu Xiao's son.

If we really kill him,

Xu Xiao will lead his army to Mount Longhu!

You don't need to kill him personally.

But he must die.

This concerns

the destiny of Liyang.

Now that

you reap benefits from the court,

you should

perform your duty loyally.

By the way,

besides Xu Fengnian,

you should kill one more person.

Who?

Zhao Kai.

Who's he?

He's Han Diaosi's disciple

and the illegitimate son of His Majesty.

Now,

he's hunting down Xu Fengnian.

The illegitimate son of His Majesty?

Han Diaosi

pretends to cooperate with me.

Actually, he wants to kill Xu Fengnian

and cause chaos in the world

so that Zhao Kai can fight for the throne.

He thinks

I'm ignorant of his plan.

I've been doing everything

for the eternal peace

of Liyang.

Xu Fengnian is the bane.

He must be killed.

Zhao Kai

will also cause chaos.

You can kill him, too.

Prime Minister,

he's an illegitimate son.

But he's a prince, anyway.

When you want to assassinate a prince,

have you thought about

how you may end up?

I fight for the destiny of Liyang,

and I can't care about

my own destiny.

If Han Diaosi

knows about this,

he won't let you go.

He's a mere eunuch,

but he wants to cause big chaos.

He won't let me go.

I won't let him go, either.

But...

Say no more.

I'll handle the problems in court.

You shall take care of problems

in the martial world.

Zhao Danping.

Mm?

Whose side

will your sect be on?

Prime Minister,

I'm going back to Mount Longhu immediately.

Xu Fengnian and Zhao Kai

will be killed

by us.
