1
00:00:53,875 --> 00:00:56,915
In 7th century China, the Tang Dynasty is in decline.

2
00:00:56,958 --> 00:00:59,832
The Imperial Court seeks to protect itself

3
00:00:59,875 --> 00:01:02,790
by establishing garrisons at the frontiers of its empire.

4
00:01:02,833 --> 00:01:04,874
Two centuries later,

5
00:01:04,916 --> 00:01:09,040
the militarized provinces waver in their loyalty to the Court.

6
00:01:09,083 --> 00:01:12,082
Some move to distance themselves
from the Emperor's control.

7
00:01:12,125 --> 00:01:14,957
At that time, Weibo asserts itself
as the strongest of those provinces.

8
00:01:44,750 --> 00:01:47,290
That man poisoned his own father,

9
00:01:47,666 --> 00:01:49,624
he killed his own brother.

10
00:01:50,791 --> 00:01:52,457
His guilt condemns him.

11
00:01:56,291 --> 00:01:59,915
Cut him down for me, expertly.

12
00:02:04,541 --> 00:02:07,207
As if he were a bird in flight.

13
00:03:45,125 --> 00:03:46,790
Don't pinch it!

14
00:03:57,458 --> 00:03:58,790
Where's it going?

15
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,082
Where does it fly to?

16
00:04:07,833 --> 00:04:09,249
Where indeed?

17
00:04:15,583 --> 00:04:18,165
I want to touch it.

18
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:28,915
Where's it going?

19
00:04:32,583 --> 00:04:35,082
Play with the ball.

20
00:06:54,958 --> 00:06:57,415
Why did it take you so long?

21
00:06:58,541 --> 00:07:00,707
The governor's son was there.

22
00:07:01,083 --> 00:07:03,124
I could not bring myself to do it.

23
00:07:05,541 --> 00:07:06,999
Another time,

24
00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:09,290
first kill the one he loves,

25
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:11,165
and then the man himself.

26
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:27,290
You have mastered the sword

27
00:07:27,541 --> 00:07:29,332
but your heart lacks resolve.

28
00:07:29,708 --> 00:07:31,499
I shall return you to Weibo

29
00:07:31,708 --> 00:07:33,374
to kill your cousin

30
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,915
Tian Ji'an.

31
00:08:06,208 --> 00:08:19,457
The Assassin

32
00:09:17,375 --> 00:09:19,040
My lady,

33
00:09:19,250 --> 00:09:21,499
a nun is here.

34
00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:25,957
She says she is bringing Yinniang back.

35
00:09:55,708 --> 00:09:58,540
As your humble servant,

36
00:09:59,208 --> 00:10:01,207
I bow to you, Your Reverence.

37
00:10:05,875 --> 00:10:07,707
Yinniang has completed her studies.

38
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,832
Today she returns.

39
00:10:11,291 --> 00:10:13,207
I'll take my leave of you.

40
00:13:36,208 --> 00:13:39,040
The King of Kophen's bluebird

41
00:13:39,750 --> 00:13:42,124
failed to sing for three years.

42
00:13:43,875 --> 00:13:45,749
One day the Queen remarked:

43
00:13:45,958 --> 00:13:49,165
Birds sing only to their own kind,

44
00:13:49,375 --> 00:13:51,540
set the bird before a mirror!

45
00:13:58,333 --> 00:14:00,374
The King heeded her advice.

46
00:14:01,708 --> 00:14:03,624
The bluebird saw its own image,

47
00:14:05,125 --> 00:14:06,832
it sang of its sadness,

48
00:14:08,791 --> 00:14:10,415
it danced,

49
00:14:12,625 --> 00:14:14,207
until it expired.

50
00:14:30,958 --> 00:14:33,957
Yinniang, these clothes are for you.

51
00:14:34,166 --> 00:14:36,624
While you were away with the nun,

52
00:14:37,083 --> 00:14:39,374
your mother made them for you herself,

53
00:14:39,541 --> 00:14:41,915
every spring and autumn.

54
00:16:27,208 --> 00:16:29,332
Grandmother, my respects.

55
00:16:30,958 --> 00:16:33,124
Rise.

56
00:17:08,166 --> 00:17:10,207
This is from your Master.

57
00:17:10,916 --> 00:17:13,582
She asked the tea-traders to bring it here.

58
00:17:29,958 --> 00:17:31,624
This jade was given

59
00:17:32,125 --> 00:17:34,374
to Princess Jiacheng

60
00:17:34,625 --> 00:17:37,165
when she was obliged to marry the Lord of Weibo.

61
00:17:37,750 --> 00:17:42,207
Her brother the Emperor offered it as a farewell gift.

62
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,374
This jade

63
00:17:50,375 --> 00:17:52,707
symbolizes a decisive break.

64
00:17:54,916 --> 00:17:57,665
His Majesty was commanding her

65
00:17:58,541 --> 00:18:02,624
to depart from his Court and to secure Weibo.

66
00:18:03,791 --> 00:18:05,749
To prevent Weibo

67
00:18:06,208 --> 00:18:08,749
from invading His Majesty's lands.

68
00:18:17,041 --> 00:18:19,332
That year, your uncle and I

69
00:18:19,375 --> 00:18:22,165
were in charge of ceremonial protocol.

70
00:18:25,083 --> 00:18:26,832
I recall

71
00:18:27,791 --> 00:18:31,749
that the princess refused her usual carriage.

72
00:18:33,791 --> 00:18:36,249
So His Majesty gave her an Imperial gold carriage.

73
00:18:40,666 --> 00:18:42,749
When Princess Jiacheng reached Weibo,

74
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,290
she abandoned all her former customs

75
00:18:47,833 --> 00:18:50,624
and adapted to the manners of Weibo.

76
00:18:52,208 --> 00:18:57,082
She sent away the retinue
of staff provided by His Majesty.

77
00:19:00,291 --> 00:19:02,374
She lavished gold and silk on them,

78
00:19:02,916 --> 00:19:06,874
so that they could have their freedom.

79
00:19:09,125 --> 00:19:10,374
Since then,

80
00:19:11,291 --> 00:19:13,624
the Court is the Court

81
00:19:14,250 --> 00:19:16,374
and Weibo is Weibo.

82
00:19:20,458 --> 00:19:23,707
The Princess implemented that decisive break.

83
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,249
When her son Tian Ji'an came of age,

84
00:19:33,875 --> 00:19:36,082
she divided two matching jades:

85
00:19:36,791 --> 00:19:38,832
One to her son, one to you.

86
00:19:40,458 --> 00:19:44,874
She wished the two of you to maintain the imperial edict.

87
00:19:46,041 --> 00:19:47,999
To be resolute

88
00:19:48,666 --> 00:19:52,582
in preserving the peace between the Imperial Court and Weibo.

89
00:19:59,416 --> 00:20:01,665
His Majesty passed away four years ago.

90
00:20:02,708 --> 00:20:06,915
One year later, his nephew and heir also passed away.

91
00:20:08,750 --> 00:20:13,457
When the imperial messenger brought the sad news,

92
00:20:15,291 --> 00:20:17,499
Princess Jiacheng coughed up blood

93
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:20,749
and hurled her pearls and jades

94
00:20:22,041 --> 00:20:23,999
to the ground.

95
00:20:26,916 --> 00:20:28,207
That year,

96
00:20:29,041 --> 00:20:30,999
the glorious white peonies

97
00:20:31,041 --> 00:20:33,540
she brought from the Court

98
00:20:35,166 --> 00:20:38,207
withered overnight.

99
00:20:45,625 --> 00:20:48,165
The Princess had one last concern.

100
00:20:51,833 --> 00:20:54,290
Her heart was troubled by the thought...

101
00:20:59,083 --> 00:21:01,832
that she had let you down.

102
00:21:42,916 --> 00:21:43,915
A year ago,

103
00:21:44,083 --> 00:21:46,749
the Court sent an official to Chengde

104
00:21:47,041 --> 00:21:49,582
to console Wang Chengzong

105
00:21:49,750 --> 00:21:52,124
for his father's death.

106
00:21:52,375 --> 00:21:56,624
He persuaded Wang to pay
the Court taxes on salt and iron

107
00:21:56,833 --> 00:22:00,165
and give away two provinces for a promotion.

108
00:22:00,375 --> 00:22:04,707
The Court immediately established in these two provinces

109
00:22:04,750 --> 00:22:07,457
the Baoxin Garrison.

110
00:22:07,666 --> 00:22:11,874
Lord Tian, you have a man in Chengde,

111
00:22:11,916 --> 00:22:13,624
seeding trouble between
Wang and Xue Changchao.

112
00:22:13,666 --> 00:22:18,082
He tells Wang that Xue has secret dealings with the Court.

113
00:22:18,291 --> 00:22:20,832
That will goad Wang

114
00:22:20,875 --> 00:22:22,374
into capturing Xue,

115
00:22:22,583 --> 00:22:26,082
so Xue will not be able to receive his promotion!

116
00:22:27,916 --> 00:22:31,249
This plan must be curtailed!

117
00:22:31,458 --> 00:22:32,957
At the moment,

118
00:22:33,125 --> 00:22:37,540
the Imperial Court is actively extending its domain.

119
00:22:37,750 --> 00:22:40,374
The Court will certainly be offended

120
00:22:40,666 --> 00:22:44,665
and send troops into Weibo!

121
00:22:44,875 --> 00:22:47,624
Their new provinces adjoin Weibo,

122
00:22:47,875 --> 00:22:50,790
and it is where they built their new garrison.

123
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,290
The Court is showing off
its strength to intimidate us in Weibo.

124
00:22:55,541 --> 00:22:58,665
It is time to act.

125
00:22:58,875 --> 00:23:01,374
The Court could take Weibo

126
00:23:01,625 --> 00:23:06,415
as easily as it took the Wushu provinces.

127
00:23:08,916 --> 00:23:12,999
It will not be so easy to seize Weibo.

128
00:23:13,500 --> 00:23:15,749
We are not like Wushu.

129
00:23:18,083 --> 00:23:19,957
The Wushu garrison

130
00:23:20,125 --> 00:23:23,582
was encircled by the Court.

131
00:23:23,875 --> 00:23:26,499
Their rulers behaved as autocrats

132
00:23:27,166 --> 00:23:32,374
and commanded no popular support!

133
00:23:32,916 --> 00:23:33,749
Thus,

134
00:23:33,916 --> 00:23:38,207
the population instantly ceded to the Court's army.

135
00:23:40,333 --> 00:23:42,582
There is no comparison with Weibo.

136
00:23:42,958 --> 00:23:47,540
Our fifty-year history has forged bonds

137
00:23:48,208 --> 00:23:51,707
between ruler and ruled.

138
00:23:52,083 --> 00:23:53,165
Furthermore,

139
00:23:53,375 --> 00:23:57,332
even if Wang and Xue fall out,

140
00:23:57,583 --> 00:23:59,124
they are related by marriage.

141
00:23:59,333 --> 00:24:02,415
Their quarrel will not spill over borders.

142
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,207
Xue Changchao has interests in Weibo.

143
00:24:06,458 --> 00:24:09,082
He does not always obey the Court.

144
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,082
My lord,

145
00:24:11,333 --> 00:24:14,999
setting Wang against Xue

146
00:24:15,291 --> 00:24:19,082
would offend the Court and they will send troops.

147
00:24:20,291 --> 00:24:23,082
It will place Weibo in grave danger!

148
00:28:25,708 --> 00:28:27,540
Lord Tian is arriving.

149
00:28:41,583 --> 00:28:43,665
It was a woman in black.

150
00:28:43,916 --> 00:28:46,332
Your son saw her while he was playing.

151
00:28:47,791 --> 00:28:50,040
She seemed to mean him no harm.

152
00:31:11,791 --> 00:31:13,332
The guard says

153
00:31:13,666 --> 00:31:15,665
my brother will be banished.

154
00:31:16,750 --> 00:31:18,999
His blunt speaking caused offence.

155
00:31:22,833 --> 00:31:24,374
How is he?

156
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,624
He had a stroke.

157
00:31:37,250 --> 00:31:38,749
Yinniang is back.

158
00:31:38,958 --> 00:31:40,415
I heard.

159
00:31:41,708 --> 00:31:44,499
The nun-princess brought her back.

160
00:33:34,791 --> 00:33:36,624
Lord Tian is here.

161
00:34:58,875 --> 00:35:00,999
You're thinking about that woman?

162
00:35:11,250 --> 00:35:13,832
Tian Xing will be sent away.

163
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:23,332
He provoked panic.
They all support the Court!

164
00:35:24,583 --> 00:35:26,999
Cowards, all of them!

165
00:39:27,625 --> 00:39:28,624
It was Yinniang.

166
00:39:30,375 --> 00:39:31,582
It was her.

167
00:39:43,875 --> 00:39:44,999
I understand.

168
00:39:49,291 --> 00:39:51,499
She wanted me to recognize her.

169
00:39:54,291 --> 00:39:55,290
Who?

170
00:39:55,458 --> 00:39:56,582
Yinniang.

171
00:39:57,291 --> 00:40:00,290
She wanted me to recognize her before taking my life.

172
00:40:00,541 --> 00:40:02,749
She wants me to know why.

173
00:40:33,291 --> 00:40:35,124
These jades were given...

174
00:40:37,041 --> 00:40:40,374
to my mother when she married into the Weibo clan.

175
00:40:41,916 --> 00:40:43,582
When I came of age,

176
00:40:44,041 --> 00:40:47,665
Mother gave one to me,one to Yinniang.

177
00:40:49,166 --> 00:40:50,582
One jade each,

178
00:40:51,208 --> 00:40:53,207
she betrothed us.

179
00:40:56,250 --> 00:41:00,374
Mother intended us to wed when Yinniang turned fifteen.

180
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:03,957
The following year,

181
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,415
Yuan, the Ming lord,

182
00:41:06,416 --> 00:41:08,499
formed an alliance with Weibo.

183
00:41:08,750 --> 00:41:11,790
Father wanted to cement
the alliance with a marriage.

184
00:41:16,375 --> 00:41:19,249
I was born to a concubine, Mother adopted me.

185
00:41:20,125 --> 00:41:22,832
To be sure that I would inherit Weibo.

186
00:41:24,625 --> 00:41:26,624
Mother betrayed her promise to Yinniang.

187
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:44,124
Back then,

188
00:41:45,625 --> 00:41:48,499
Yinniang stayed in the forest.

189
00:41:51,750 --> 00:41:53,332
Like a phoenix!

190
00:41:54,750 --> 00:41:56,707
She broke into the Yuans' mansion.

191
00:41:57,250 --> 00:41:58,957
Their guards wounded her.

192
00:42:00,583 --> 00:42:02,290
She could have died.

193
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,582
Mother asked her twin sister, Princess Jiaxin,

194
00:42:12,125 --> 00:42:15,165
to take Yinniang away.

195
00:42:37,750 --> 00:42:40,124
I feel for Yinniang.

196
00:43:05,250 --> 00:43:07,707
When I was ten I had a serious fever.

197
00:43:09,291 --> 00:43:11,374
The pain was unbearable.

198
00:43:13,500 --> 00:43:15,332
The doctors were no help.

199
00:43:15,916 --> 00:43:18,124
A small coffin was prepared.

200
00:43:20,541 --> 00:43:22,082
Yinniang's father suggested

201
00:43:22,291 --> 00:43:25,457
I be rolled in a bamboo mat

202
00:43:25,500 --> 00:43:27,499
and put in a cool spot.

203
00:43:28,166 --> 00:43:29,957
After three days and nights,

204
00:43:30,166 --> 00:43:31,665
I was cured.

205
00:43:37,666 --> 00:43:39,332
In my delirium,

206
00:43:41,041 --> 00:43:43,040
I sensed a presence.

207
00:43:43,875 --> 00:43:45,249
It was Yinniang.

208
00:43:46,458 --> 00:43:48,915
No one could have made her leave.

209
00:44:59,958 --> 00:45:01,082
Excuse me, sir,

210
00:45:01,291 --> 00:45:03,124
our guard has a report.

211
00:45:03,375 --> 00:45:04,749
Speak.

212
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:12,290
Lord Provost,

213
00:45:12,500 --> 00:45:15,749
an assassin entered Lord Tian's mansion.

214
00:45:15,958 --> 00:45:18,624
Our guards are in pursuit.

215
00:45:19,083 --> 00:45:20,540
What is the situation?

216
00:45:21,083 --> 00:45:22,457
Nothing is certain.

217
00:45:28,958 --> 00:45:30,999
I withdraw.

218
00:45:41,583 --> 00:45:45,165
We should not have allowed
the nun to take Yinniang away.

219
00:45:48,458 --> 00:45:50,290
What choice did we have?

220
00:45:51,708 --> 00:45:53,999
We had to save her somehow.

221
00:45:59,458 --> 00:46:01,249
Do you realize?

222
00:46:05,041 --> 00:46:06,374
Yinniang is back

223
00:46:06,541 --> 00:46:09,207
to kill Lord Tian on the orders of her Master!

224
00:46:32,208 --> 00:46:33,874
Provost,

225
00:46:34,333 --> 00:46:36,332
a messenger is here.

226
00:46:36,583 --> 00:46:41,374
Lord Tian urgently requires your presence.

227
00:47:47,083 --> 00:47:49,165
My Lord, the Provost is here.

228
00:47:49,541 --> 00:47:51,374
Your humble servant pays his respects.

229
00:47:54,541 --> 00:47:56,415
I sent for you,

230
00:47:56,583 --> 00:48:00,540
because I want you to escort
Commander Tian Xing to the border.

231
00:48:00,583 --> 00:48:07,082
Make sure he reaches it safely.

232
00:48:15,875 --> 00:48:17,207
My Lord,

233
00:48:18,250 --> 00:48:20,165
Tian Xing went home yesterday.

234
00:48:20,375 --> 00:48:22,290
He had a stroke.

235
00:48:24,958 --> 00:48:26,457
He's pretending.

236
00:48:31,750 --> 00:48:32,957
As you command.

237
00:48:34,916 --> 00:48:36,290
Uncle...

238
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:44,499
Be ready for anything.

239
00:48:47,083 --> 00:48:51,374
Three years ago, his predecessor
was seized and buried alive.

240
00:48:51,958 --> 00:48:53,707
That must not happen again!

241
00:49:04,708 --> 00:49:06,290
Yinniang...

242
00:49:07,375 --> 00:49:09,624
returned home yesterday.

243
00:49:19,625 --> 00:49:21,624
We came face to face last night.

244
00:50:24,250 --> 00:50:25,915
As My Lady guessed,

245
00:50:26,125 --> 00:50:29,499
she faked her period with chicken blood.

246
00:50:33,250 --> 00:50:35,290
Lord Tian is here.

247
00:50:48,500 --> 00:50:52,624
Tell the nurse to fetch the boys.

248
00:51:05,833 --> 00:51:08,415
Jiang, show yourself!

249
00:51:16,541 --> 00:51:20,415
Yesterday, I ordered Tian Xing to leave.

250
00:51:20,916 --> 00:51:23,040
He has a new post.

251
00:51:24,208 --> 00:51:27,749
Just now, I ordered Provost Nie Feng

252
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,999
to escort him.

253
00:51:33,708 --> 00:51:36,749
The incident of three years ago

254
00:51:37,250 --> 00:51:39,040
must not be repeated!

255
00:51:42,083 --> 00:51:43,207
Understood.

256
00:51:48,041 --> 00:51:50,415
I hear we had an intruder last night.

257
00:51:50,625 --> 00:51:52,582
The same woman in black?

258
00:51:55,500 --> 00:51:57,290
You are well informed!

259
00:54:22,333 --> 00:54:23,749
Travel safely!

260
00:55:42,250 --> 00:55:44,040
Bring Xiaomian here.

261
00:55:55,583 --> 00:55:56,915
Master,

262
00:55:57,458 --> 00:55:59,707
it is exactly as Madame guessed.

263
00:55:59,916 --> 00:56:01,374
Huji is pregnant.

264
00:56:01,583 --> 00:56:04,374
She faked her period with chicken blood.

265
00:56:36,291 --> 00:56:40,957
Commander Tian Xing will leave.
When it gets dark, go after him.

266
00:57:17,750 --> 00:57:18,582
What news?

267
00:57:18,625 --> 00:57:21,207
Tian Xing has left the staging post.

268
00:57:40,500 --> 00:57:43,124
They took a fork in the road.

269
00:57:43,166 --> 00:57:44,249
With Commander Tian?

270
00:57:44,458 --> 00:57:45,915
It was too dark to tell.

271
00:57:46,125 --> 00:57:47,749
Our man is chasing them.

272
01:06:20,416 --> 01:06:25,332
We should not have let the nun take you away.

273
01:15:32,083 --> 01:15:34,790
Princess Jiacheng taught me the zither.

274
01:15:36,958 --> 01:15:39,665
She told me a story about a bluebird's dance.

275
01:15:47,833 --> 01:15:50,332
She herself was the bluebird.

276
01:15:53,166 --> 01:15:57,749
She left the Court for Weibo all by herself.

277
01:15:59,958 --> 01:16:02,124
There was no one like her in Weibo.

278
01:24:46,250 --> 01:24:47,915
Come and help!

279
01:24:54,708 --> 01:24:55,957
Huji!

280
01:25:23,541 --> 01:25:25,290
Huji is pregnant.

281
01:27:09,833 --> 01:27:11,749
I found this in the corridor.

282
01:27:24,250 --> 01:27:27,624
My father showed me
one of these shortly before he died.

283
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:34,749
When the Lord died suddenly in the night,

284
01:27:35,458 --> 01:27:37,624
one was found by his bed.

285
01:27:38,333 --> 01:27:40,749
Father suspected a plot by Princess Jiaxin.

286
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:44,874
He traced her to a temple in the south,
where they spoke.

287
01:27:46,875 --> 01:27:48,915
She blamed him for his suspicions,

288
01:27:49,166 --> 01:27:51,874
saying she served the heavens, not evil spirits

289
01:27:52,083 --> 01:27:56,040
and such black magic just scares the simple-minded.

290
01:27:58,041 --> 01:27:59,832
In her opinion,

291
01:28:00,416 --> 01:28:02,790
the Lord died of fear.

292
01:28:03,541 --> 01:28:05,665
He scared himself to death.

293
01:29:31,583 --> 01:29:33,249
Lord Tian is here.

294
01:29:34,375 --> 01:29:36,249
Come here, boys!

295
01:30:37,250 --> 01:30:38,707
Sit.

296
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:42,707
All of you.

297
01:30:59,208 --> 01:31:00,707
Rise!

298
01:31:11,333 --> 01:31:13,040
Clear this away.

299
01:31:46,916 --> 01:31:47,874
Reporting, sir!

300
01:31:48,166 --> 01:31:50,082
Commander Tian reached his post.

301
01:31:50,291 --> 01:31:53,040
And Provost Nie is recovering from his wounds.

302
01:31:53,083 --> 01:31:54,832
He remains weak,

303
01:31:54,875 --> 01:31:58,332
but will report to you himself tomorrow.

304
01:31:59,541 --> 01:32:00,665
My Lord,

305
01:32:00,875 --> 01:32:03,082
Wang Chengzong has sent 200 cavalrymen

306
01:32:03,333 --> 01:32:06,999
to arrest Xue Changchao.

307
01:32:08,458 --> 01:32:09,624
My Lord,

308
01:32:09,833 --> 01:32:11,874
if we behave aggressively

309
01:32:12,250 --> 01:32:14,874
and destroy the Imperial troops,

310
01:32:15,083 --> 01:32:18,124
the Court will mobilize

311
01:32:18,291 --> 01:32:19,957
against Weibo.

312
01:32:20,166 --> 01:32:24,040
I propose that we distract the Court's men

313
01:32:24,458 --> 01:32:26,665
by offering them food and wine.

314
01:32:26,875 --> 01:32:29,249
Meanwhile, we negotiate with Wang...

315
01:34:32,541 --> 01:34:36,040
Were Tian Ji'an to die while his sons are still young,

316
01:34:36,333 --> 01:34:37,915
Weibo would fall into chaos.

317
01:34:40,541 --> 01:34:42,165
So I chose not to kill him.

318
01:34:46,458 --> 01:34:48,707
The way of the sword is pitiless.

319
01:34:48,916 --> 01:34:51,415
Saintly virtues play no part in it.

320
01:34:52,583 --> 01:34:54,665
Your skills are matchless,

321
01:34:56,333 --> 01:34:59,624
but your mind is hostage to human sentiments.

322
01:38:34,958 --> 01:38:35,540
Look!

323
01:38:35,583 --> 01:38:38,249
The young woman kept her promise.

324
01:38:38,541 --> 01:38:40,915
She said she'd come back.

325
01:38:41,916 --> 01:38:43,249
She is trustworthy.

326
01:38:43,458 --> 01:38:46,040
She'll escort him into the land of Xinro.
