To Chang'an]

00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,990
[Episode 39]
3
00:01:42,110 --> 00:01:43,310
Your Majesty must not.
4
00:01:43,310 --> 00:01:45,710
Please withdraw your order, Your Majesty.
5
00:01:48,350 --> 00:01:49,950
His Majesty has given this matter
careful consideration,
6
00:01:49,950 --> 00:01:51,400
and it's also the Retired Emperor's wish.
7
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,310
Chief Minister Pei,
8
00:01:52,310 --> 00:01:54,509
just accept the decree and carry it out.
9
00:01:54,509 --> 00:01:55,340
Silence!
10
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,150
Diplomatic matters,
whether great or small,
11
00:01:57,150 --> 00:01:59,080
concern the dignity of our empire.
12
00:01:59,350 --> 00:02:00,750
How dare a eunuch like you
13
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,510
speak so recklessly here?
14
00:02:02,510 --> 00:02:02,910
How...
15
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,540
How dare you insult me?
16
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,200
Your Majesty,
17
00:02:06,450 --> 00:02:08,050
please defend your servant.
18
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:10,840
Pei,
19
00:02:11,470 --> 00:02:13,360
I made this decision reluctantly.
20
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,110
You needn't be so upset.
21
00:02:17,630 --> 00:02:18,760
Quite the opposite.
22
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,240
This tournament
23
00:02:20,310 --> 00:02:22,200
is hosted by our empire.
24
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,360
Your Majesty graced the opening match
25
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,800
with your presence.
26
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,470
Now, with the finals approaching
27
00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:27,960
and our empire's team competing,
28
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,860
Your Majesty should also attend.
29
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,280
This is proper protocol.
30
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:31,900
Moreover,
31
00:02:32,190 --> 00:02:33,310
your presence will surely boost
32
00:02:33,310 --> 00:02:35,430
our polo team's morale.
33
00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:37,780
Your Majesty must understand—
34
00:02:37,780 --> 00:02:40,590
this match is worth more than
countless battles.
35
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,520
Our polo team must win.
36
00:02:43,710 --> 00:02:44,380
If we lose,
37
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,280
where would that leave
our national prestige?
38
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:48,810
Chief Minister Pei,
39
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,610
it's just a game.
40
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,240
There will always be winners and losers.
41
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:52,800
You're being...
42
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:53,730
Shut your mouth!
43
00:02:54,010 --> 00:02:55,160
What do you know?
44
00:02:58,079 --> 00:02:59,560
Forgive my bluntness, Your Majesty,
45
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,590
but on the day of the finals,
46
00:03:00,590 --> 00:03:03,010
if Your Majesty shrinks back in fear
47
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,010
and doesn't dare appear in person,
48
00:03:05,630 --> 00:03:08,850
you will be ridiculed by Emperor Taizong
49
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,010
and mocked by all under heaven.
50
00:03:11,710 --> 00:03:12,800
The Emperor of the Tang Empire
51
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,080
should fear nothing.
52
00:03:14,310 --> 00:03:15,360
The Emperor's bearing
53
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,520
is the bearing of all the people of Tang.
54
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,120
If Your Majesty avoids appearing now,
55
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,650
it will surely damage
our empire's prestige.
56
00:03:21,710 --> 00:03:24,079
The roads west of Anyuan Gate,
57
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,100
stretching over twenty thousand li,
will become perilous
58
00:03:28,430 --> 00:03:29,840
for us in the future.
59
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,280
Chief Minister Pei, you've gone too far.
60
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,420
What about His Majesty's safety?
61
00:03:35,490 --> 00:03:36,430
His Majesty's safety
62
00:03:36,430 --> 00:03:38,020
is your Imperial Guard's responsibility!
63
00:03:38,020 --> 00:03:38,470
You...
64
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,220
And yours as well,
Yongzhou Prefecture Office!
65
00:03:42,780 --> 00:03:44,490
And you, Lu Lingfeng.
66
00:03:44,870 --> 00:03:45,630
Since you failed to
67
00:03:45,630 --> 00:03:47,500
capture the spies before the finals,
68
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:49,750
you ought to have resigned your position
69
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:51,750
as Judicial Official immediately!
70
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:54,920
Your Majesty,
71
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,579
this is Chang'an!
72
00:03:58,070 --> 00:03:58,800
Your Majesty is
73
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,680
of the lineage of Emperor Taizong.
74
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,310
Remember how Emperor Taizong,
75
00:04:02,310 --> 00:04:03,610
in this very place,
76
00:04:03,930 --> 00:04:06,560
single-handedly defeated
over 10,000 enemies on horseback?
77
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,250
And now,
78
00:04:07,310 --> 00:04:08,000
just because of
79
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,380
some uncertain danger,
80
00:04:09,590 --> 00:04:10,640
Your Majesty is to
81
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:11,650
hide in the palace
82
00:04:11,650 --> 00:04:12,850
and refuse to be seen?
83
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:16,579
Lu Tong,
84
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:17,980
give me your sword!
85
00:04:18,190 --> 00:04:19,040
What are you going to do?
86
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:19,750
Give it to me!
87
00:04:19,750 --> 00:04:20,279
Pei Mian,
88
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,310
are you trying to threaten
His Majesty with a weapon?
89
00:04:23,310 --> 00:04:23,770
Guards!
90
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,130
Seize him!
91
00:04:33,090 --> 00:04:35,540
You think I would threaten His Majesty?
92
00:04:35,950 --> 00:04:37,680
I, Pei Mian, am not that senile!
93
00:04:37,790 --> 00:04:39,750
I would never do such a thing!
94
00:04:43,810 --> 00:04:45,630
If Your Majesty insists on not appearing
95
00:04:45,630 --> 00:04:47,260
at the polo finals in person,
96
00:04:47,490 --> 00:04:50,440
I, Pei Mian, may not have a blade
to slit my throat now,
97
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:51,610
but today,
98
00:04:51,870 --> 00:04:54,400
I can still bash my head
against a pillar here!
99
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,740
I'd like to go meet Emperor Taizong
100
00:04:56,980 --> 00:04:58,550
and Emperor Gaozu
101
00:04:58,950 --> 00:05:00,730
and accuse you of
cowardice and incompetence!
102
00:05:00,730 --> 00:05:01,430
Pei.
103
00:05:04,270 --> 00:05:05,600
Every word you've said—
104
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,270
I have taken it to heart.
105
00:05:09,580 --> 00:05:12,540
I shall attend the tournament in person.
106
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:15,290
I won't bring shame to my ancestors!
107
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,530
Your Majesty...
108
00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:22,900
Your Majesty... is wise indeed.
109
00:05:26,310 --> 00:05:27,840
It's interesting, though.
110
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,130
Pei Mian must be about
70 years old now, right?
111
00:05:31,630 --> 00:05:34,560
Yet at such an advanced age,
he still has such spirit.
112
00:05:35,190 --> 00:05:37,800
I can't help but admire him.
113
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,490
It's a pity, though.
114
00:05:39,950 --> 00:05:40,800
He has no intention
115
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,460
of siding with Your Highness.
116
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,290
The gifts we sent him
for the Dragon Boat Festival
117
00:05:45,750 --> 00:05:46,880
were also returned.
118
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,300
It doesn't matter.
119
00:05:49,950 --> 00:05:52,350
He hasn't joined
their side either, has he?
120
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,510
We can use this man in the future.
121
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,659
We can use this man.
122
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,220
Then, will Your Highness
123
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,370
go to the finals?
124
00:06:02,510 --> 00:06:04,000
Of course, I'll go.
125
00:06:06,190 --> 00:06:07,850
I remember that when I watched
126
00:06:08,030 --> 00:06:09,830
my first polo tournament,
127
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:12,600
I was still in my mother's arms.
128
00:06:14,930 --> 00:06:18,260
[Crucial Nexus]
129
00:06:16,650 --> 00:06:18,390
The National Polo Tournament
130
00:06:18,510 --> 00:06:19,680
is the most important event
131
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,240
in Chang'an this year.
132
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,360
Envoys from all other nations will attend.
133
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,040
How could I not attend?
134
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,120
In my opinion,
135
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,040
Your Highness may attend,
136
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,010
or you may choose not to.
137
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:36,200
What do you mean?
138
00:06:36,380 --> 00:06:36,909
To attend
139
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,040
would certainly display your dignity
as the Grand Princess.
140
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,190
But since the matter
of the Yenisei Kirghiz spies
141
00:06:42,190 --> 00:06:43,070
remains unresolved,
142
00:06:43,070 --> 00:06:44,470
the danger still exists.
143
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,820
Since there is danger,
144
00:06:45,950 --> 00:06:46,500
why not
145
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,800
let the one on the throne bear it first?
146
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,000
Should something unfortunate
truly befall him,
147
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,480
Your Highness could save the state
from collapse
148
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,360
and gloriously ascend the throne!
149
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,650
Wouldn't that be perfectly natural?
150
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,160
You make a good point.
151
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,190
Go inform the Court of State Ceremonials
152
00:07:10,190 --> 00:07:11,650
that I won't be attending.
153
00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:12,560
Understood.
154
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,460
Now, I truly hope
155
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,120
those Yenisei Kirghiz do have some plot.
156
00:08:00,070 --> 00:08:01,130
It's been 14 years.
157
00:08:02,610 --> 00:08:03,870
Finally, you've come.
158
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:52,090
It's you, isn't it?
159
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,410
Not your brother Natie,
160
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,780
but you yourself, right?
161
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,060
That day at the polo field,
162
00:09:11,510 --> 00:09:12,910
though we were far apart,
163
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,980
I recognized you at first glance.
164
00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:17,680
Natie is at the border
165
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,310
leading 100,000 cavalry.
166
00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:21,510
He's just waiting for my message
167
00:09:21,510 --> 00:09:22,550
from Chang'an.
168
00:09:23,110 --> 00:09:24,040
It really is you,
169
00:09:24,750 --> 00:09:25,270
Nasha.
170
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,180
It's been 14 years.
171
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,860
We finally meet again.
172
00:09:42,270 --> 00:09:43,270
Greetings, Khan.
173
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,520
You've been lying dormant for 14 years.
174
00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:52,910
You've suffered.
175
00:09:53,910 --> 00:09:54,510
Not at all.
176
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,440
I just miss the winds
of the Yenisei Kirghiz lands.
177
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,000
I long to ride across the grasslands
with you again.
178
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,240
When I sent you here,
179
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:03,670
you were only 16.
180
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,070
[Nasha, Yenisei Kirghiz Khan]
181
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,870
Back then, I was just
182
00:10:06,910 --> 00:10:08,440
an insignificant general.
183
00:10:09,650 --> 00:10:10,600
If you hadn't been willing
184
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,060
to come to Chang'an for me,
185
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,070
perhaps the former Khan
186
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,200
would never have noticed me.
187
00:10:16,510 --> 00:10:17,570
It's been 14 years.
188
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,100
Do you still remember your promise to me?
189
00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:22,840
I remember.
190
00:10:24,510 --> 00:10:26,080
I promised to marry you.
191
00:10:28,290 --> 00:10:29,360
But the former Khan wanted
192
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,490
me to marry his most beloved daughter.
193
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:33,080
Only with that marriage
194
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:33,840
could I qualify
195
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,240
to become his successor,
196
00:10:35,390 --> 00:10:36,840
the Khan of the Yenisei Kirghiz.
197
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:37,510
So...
198
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,510
you must resent me deeply.
199
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,270
No.
200
00:10:45,910 --> 00:10:46,970
All these years...
201
00:10:48,550 --> 00:10:50,150
you didn't find another man?
202
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:50,600
No.
203
00:10:51,870 --> 00:10:52,730
What about now?
204
00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:55,130
What do you expect from me?
205
00:10:56,750 --> 00:10:57,910
I only wish to return to the grasslands
206
00:10:57,910 --> 00:10:58,710
with you soon.
207
00:11:00,790 --> 00:11:01,480
My status
208
00:11:01,510 --> 00:11:02,030
is certainly not
209
00:11:02,030 --> 00:11:03,490
as noble as your Khatun's.
210
00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:04,840
So I only hope
211
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:06,670
to stay by your side,
212
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,200
even if I'm just tending your horses
213
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,530
or cleaning your boots.
214
00:11:15,550 --> 00:11:16,550
What you say...
215
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:19,960
is what I wish for as well.
216
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:29,270
But my Khatun—
217
00:11:29,510 --> 00:11:31,570
she's been spoiled since childhood.
218
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:32,510
To her, I'm like
219
00:11:32,510 --> 00:11:35,000
a wild hare caught beneath
the talons of a hawk.
220
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,120
Her jealousy
221
00:11:36,150 --> 00:11:37,610
is like a raging fire
222
00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:40,320
that could engulf the entire grassland
at any moment.
223
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,320
I'm the Khan of the Yenisei Kirghiz.
224
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,200
I cannot let
225
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,520
my tribe fall apart.
226
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:46,740
Therefore,
227
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,560
once this mission is done,
228
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,160
you shall end your life as
229
00:11:52,510 --> 00:11:54,240
a heroic warrior of our people.
230
00:12:00,390 --> 00:12:02,220
On behalf of our gods,
231
00:12:03,790 --> 00:12:06,150
I now bestow upon you
this sacred medicine.
232
00:12:06,150 --> 00:12:07,720
You'll feel no pain
233
00:12:08,110 --> 00:12:09,510
and will be reborn soon.
234
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,070
I'll build
235
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,030
the finest cenotaph
236
00:12:12,030 --> 00:12:13,490
for you on the grasslands.
237
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,470
Your descendants
238
00:12:15,630 --> 00:12:18,080
will disfigure their faces
and cut off their ears in mourning,
239
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,800
worshipping you as a deity.
240
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,150
This is the highest honor
241
00:12:21,150 --> 00:12:22,790
of our Yenisei Kirghiz...
242
00:12:24,890 --> 00:12:26,500
and your glory as well.
243
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:33,630
Have you prepared
244
00:12:33,630 --> 00:12:34,520
what I asked for
245
00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:35,510
a year ago?
246
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,780
Ma'am, I'd like a premium room.
247
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,600
Would you prefer east-facing
or west-facing?
248
00:12:41,790 --> 00:12:43,150
I want a south-facing room.
249
00:12:43,150 --> 00:12:44,150
You're in luck.
250
00:12:44,670 --> 00:12:45,600
We have one left.
251
00:12:56,270 --> 00:12:57,470
Everything is ready.
252
00:12:57,550 --> 00:12:58,480
Then go.
253
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,520
If there's a next life...
254
00:13:24,250 --> 00:13:25,610
when I'm 16 again,
255
00:13:26,910 --> 00:13:29,440
could I marry you
when you're still a general,
256
00:13:30,750 --> 00:13:32,010
so we can raise cattle,
257
00:13:32,610 --> 00:13:33,270
herd sheep,
258
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,200
and have children together?
259
00:13:36,390 --> 00:13:38,190
If you long for that kind of life,
260
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,300
marry a herdsman instead.
261
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,490
Had I lacked ambition
when I was a general,
262
00:13:44,250 --> 00:13:46,830
I wouldn't have become Khan today.
263
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:13,600
Careful.
264
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:49,880
Pine oil?
265
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:50,720
Yes.
266
00:14:50,790 --> 00:14:52,150
The back door of the Bafang Inn
267
00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:53,710
connects to a secret underground room.
268
00:14:53,710 --> 00:14:55,000
Those dozens of barrels of pine oil
269
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:55,790
were all moved out
270
00:14:55,790 --> 00:14:56,920
of that secret room.
271
00:14:57,750 --> 00:14:59,680
So they're planning a fire attack.
272
00:15:01,380 --> 00:15:02,710
But the key question is—
273
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,630
how will they use it?
274
00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:53,580
[Peace and prosperity]
275
00:15:53,580 --> 00:15:56,190
[Tang Team] [Yenisei Kirghiz Team]
276
00:17:21,109 --> 00:17:21,640
Who is it?
277
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:25,849
Lady Chong?
278
00:17:25,869 --> 00:17:27,000
You finally came...
279
00:17:28,860 --> 00:17:30,590
What's wrong? Are you alright?
280
00:17:31,030 --> 00:17:32,340
Hold me tight.
281
00:17:32,550 --> 00:17:32,920
Okay.
282
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:33,850
Hold me tighter.
283
00:17:38,020 --> 00:17:39,280
I'm so cold.
284
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:40,480
You're cold?
285
00:17:40,790 --> 00:17:42,000
Let me get you... a blanket.
286
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,200
I don't want a blanket.
287
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,260
Hold me closer.
288
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:46,750
I'm so lonely.
289
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,410
I'm dying.
290
00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:55,780
If I die in your arms...
291
00:17:59,550 --> 00:18:01,090
would you think it's bad luck?
292
00:18:01,090 --> 00:18:02,250
Don't say that.
293
00:18:02,790 --> 00:18:04,240
That wouldn't be bad luck.
294
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,300
It'd be a blessing.
295
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,170
Just being with you,
296
00:18:08,790 --> 00:18:10,690
every moment, every second,
297
00:18:11,350 --> 00:18:12,570
is my blessing.
298
00:18:13,070 --> 00:18:14,250
What a pity.
299
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,760
This is the deadliest poison
300
00:18:19,310 --> 00:18:20,800
of the Yenisei Kirghiz.
301
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:24,390
They say...
302
00:18:26,070 --> 00:18:28,340
it sends one straight to reincarnation.
303
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:30,550
Poison?
304
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,390
You took poison?
305
00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:37,550
If you don't mind,
306
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,590
could you just hold me,
307
00:18:42,590 --> 00:18:43,360
please?
308
00:18:47,790 --> 00:18:50,480
No. I won't let you die.
309
00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:52,870
I will never let you die.
310
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:54,490
Su Wuming.
311
00:18:54,970 --> 00:18:58,610
[Loyalty]
312
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,030
Official Lu is analyzing a case right now
313
00:19:07,030 --> 00:19:07,830
and cannot be disturbed.
314
00:19:07,830 --> 00:19:09,130
I have something urgent to see him about.
315
00:19:09,130 --> 00:19:10,130
Go inform him now!
316
00:19:11,830 --> 00:19:12,590
General!
317
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:13,470
You...
318
00:19:13,550 --> 00:19:14,440
General!
319
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:17,740
How long did you sleep?
320
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:19,020
At least eight hours.
321
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,920
You've been too tense lately.
322
00:19:22,350 --> 00:19:24,310
It's perfectly normal
that you fell asleep.
323
00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:25,250
Don't just stand there.
324
00:19:25,250 --> 00:19:26,730
Sit down and tell me slowly.
325
00:19:26,730 --> 00:19:27,830
No, that's not right.
326
00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:29,400
Back when I served in the Imperial Guard,
327
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,730
I trained by day and patrolled by night.
328
00:19:30,730 --> 00:19:32,240
I often stayed awake
for three days straight!
329
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,000
But just this once,
330
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:33,550
when Chief Minister Pei
331
00:19:33,550 --> 00:19:35,000
entrusted me with such an important task,
332
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:35,830
how could I possibly
333
00:19:35,830 --> 00:19:37,760
have fallen asleep so carelessly?
334
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:39,430
And also,
335
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,410
when I woke up...
336
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,790
Although the change is extremely subtle,
337
00:20:24,790 --> 00:20:25,830
I can still feel
338
00:20:25,860 --> 00:20:28,660
that one of the polo balls
has become a bit heavier.
339
00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:30,270
It's heavier now?
340
00:20:32,510 --> 00:20:34,110
Come on. Let's go take a look.
341
00:20:35,570 --> 00:20:36,280
General,
342
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:37,920
this is just my feeling.
343
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,480
I'm not completely certain.
344
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:40,980
Therefore, we absolutely cannot
345
00:20:40,980 --> 00:20:42,580
let Chief Minister Pei know.
346
00:20:43,330 --> 00:20:45,330
Given Chief Minister Pei's temper,
347
00:20:45,550 --> 00:20:47,480
it's normal that you're afraid of him.
348
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,240
No.
349
00:20:48,590 --> 00:20:50,510
I'd face death without a flicker of fear.
350
00:20:50,510 --> 00:20:52,310
But the final match is tomorrow,
351
00:20:52,550 --> 00:20:53,950
and those two polo balls—
352
00:20:54,030 --> 00:20:55,400
whether it's the beast hide used
353
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:56,640
or the gold thread for stitching—
354
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:57,640
are all treasures.
355
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,640
That beast hide is especially rare.
356
00:20:59,750 --> 00:21:01,350
If, because of my suspicion,
357
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:02,920
we take apart the polo balls
for inspection
358
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,880
and thereby delay tomorrow's finals,
359
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,030
wouldn't that make our empire
360
00:21:06,030 --> 00:21:06,980
lose face in front of
361
00:21:06,980 --> 00:21:08,310
all the foreign envoys?
362
00:21:10,550 --> 00:21:11,750
And Chief Minister Pei
363
00:21:11,750 --> 00:21:12,590
values our national dignity
364
00:21:12,590 --> 00:21:14,270
more than his own life.
365
00:21:14,510 --> 00:21:15,350
I understand.
366
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:17,920
Who went
367
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,290
to that room last night?
368
00:21:19,350 --> 00:21:20,140
At 10 PM,
369
00:21:20,510 --> 00:21:21,850
Chief Minister Pei came to check on me.
370
00:21:21,850 --> 00:21:24,510
After that, Chief Administrator Xiong
also came.
371
00:21:24,510 --> 00:21:26,110
Did they both come on their own?
372
00:21:26,110 --> 00:21:26,510
Yes,
373
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,110
and they both gave me some instructions
374
00:21:28,110 --> 00:21:29,040
before leaving.
375
00:21:30,830 --> 00:21:31,830
What do you think?
376
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,810
Good, very good!
377
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,790
Chief Minister Pei,
Chief Administrator Xiong.
378
00:21:34,790 --> 00:21:40,270
[Court of State Ceremonials]
379
00:21:35,750 --> 00:21:37,010
Well, well, Li Zhuang.
380
00:21:37,270 --> 00:21:38,480
You said you'd only be gone
for a quarter of an hour,
381
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,540
but you were gone for two whole hours.
382
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,070
Did you go somewhere
383
00:21:42,110 --> 00:21:42,960
to catch up on sleep?
384
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:43,310
I...
385
00:21:45,270 --> 00:21:47,070
Greetings, Chief Minister Pei,
Chief Administrator Xiong.
386
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:53,290
[Court of State Ceremonials]
387
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,090
Chief Minister Pei.
388
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,270
It seems he
389
00:21:51,590 --> 00:21:53,480
went to fetch Lu Lingfeng.
390
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,120
That's reasonable.
391
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:57,530
After all, the balls
392
00:21:57,590 --> 00:21:59,440
were designed by Xijun.
393
00:22:00,670 --> 00:22:02,280
Lu Lingfeng, come on.
394
00:22:02,550 --> 00:22:04,480
Take your time appreciating them.
395
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,730
Xiong Qiannian.
396
00:22:09,350 --> 00:22:10,480
I was harsh with you
397
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,450
the other day
398
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,080
only because I was afraid
399
00:22:14,350 --> 00:22:16,030
that, at this crucial time
before the finals,
400
00:22:16,030 --> 00:22:17,310
you might hold us back.
401
00:22:17,550 --> 00:22:19,070
But seeing how diligent you've been
402
00:22:19,070 --> 00:22:21,450
these past few days,
403
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,850
I'll let bygones be bygones.
404
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:27,770
Chief Minister Pei.
405
00:22:27,830 --> 00:22:28,840
I'm your junior.
406
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,180
Your criticism is guidance for me.
407
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,590
Before the finals,
408
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:35,590
our Yongzhou Prefecture Office
409
00:22:35,590 --> 00:22:37,000
still has many matters
410
00:22:37,110 --> 00:22:39,110
to report to you in detail.
411
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:39,920
Very well.
412
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,020
Please take a look.
413
00:22:41,110 --> 00:22:41,720
This way.
414
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,350
Li Zhuang.
415
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,880
Chief Minister Pei, please rest assured.
416
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,510
Until tomorrow's competition,
417
00:22:49,510 --> 00:22:51,770
I won't let the polo balls
out of my sight.
418
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:54,920
Lu Lingfeng.
419
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:57,120
You may watch,
420
00:22:57,310 --> 00:22:58,970
but don't waste too much time.
421
00:22:59,110 --> 00:23:00,270
Since you don't have the ability
422
00:23:00,270 --> 00:23:01,510
to catch the spies,
423
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,750
at least put more effort into
424
00:23:03,770 --> 00:23:05,170
protecting His Majesty.
425
00:23:05,420 --> 00:23:05,960
Come on.
426
00:23:06,030 --> 00:23:06,440
Yes.
427
00:23:58,230 --> 00:24:01,400
[Peace and prosperity]
428
00:24:04,340 --> 00:24:07,150
On this occasion
of the National Polo Tournament
429
00:24:07,270 --> 00:24:08,890
final match,
430
00:24:09,030 --> 00:24:10,430
His Majesty of our empire
431
00:24:10,550 --> 00:24:13,930
has specially ordered the creation
of the Imperial Polo Balls!
432
00:24:13,930 --> 00:24:15,720
We invite all foreign delegations
433
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,110
and people from all walks of life
in Chang'an
434
00:24:18,110 --> 00:24:20,130
to view them!
435
00:24:20,590 --> 00:24:22,360
His Majesty of the Tang Empire
436
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,440
has specially ordered the creation
of Imperial Polo Balls
437
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,270
and invites all foreign delegations
438
00:24:27,270 --> 00:24:31,580
and Chang'an citizens present
to view them!
439
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,510
-Excellent!
-Yeah!
440
00:24:34,580 --> 00:24:35,640
The Imperial Polo Balls!
441
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:36,920
We certainly came at the right time.
442
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:37,510
Indeed.
443
00:24:48,870 --> 00:24:51,060
[Peace and prosperity]
444
00:24:49,310 --> 00:24:51,880
The Grand Princess has arrived!
445
00:24:57,140 --> 00:24:58,000
My aunt is here.
446
00:24:58,270 --> 00:24:58,960
Wonderful.
447
00:24:58,820 --> 00:25:03,250
[Peace and prosperity]
448
00:25:06,790 --> 00:25:08,850
Her Highness said she wasn't coming.
449
00:25:09,350 --> 00:25:09,880
Quickly,
450
00:25:10,070 --> 00:25:12,200
prepare a seat for the Grand Princess.
451
00:25:21,790 --> 00:25:23,030
-Yeah!
-Your Highness the Grand Princess!
452
00:25:23,030 --> 00:25:26,510
-Your Highness!
-Yeah!
453
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,610
Your Highness the Grand Princess!
454
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,810
Today by the Qu River,
the weather is perfect.
455
00:25:30,810 --> 00:25:32,330
[Peace and prosperity]
456
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,840
Aunt, I'm really happy that you're here
457
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,300
to watch the match with me.
458
00:25:34,310 --> 00:25:36,440
In the Polo Tournament four years ago,
459
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,530
Your Majesty, then Prince of Linzi,
460
00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:40,440
led our polo team
461
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,080
to a glorious championship.
462
00:25:42,310 --> 00:25:44,590
Your Majesty's brilliance that day
463
00:25:44,790 --> 00:25:46,760
is still vivid in my memory.
464
00:25:48,030 --> 00:25:49,260
Aunt, please.
465
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,070
Chang'an
466
00:25:55,070 --> 00:25:57,200
hasn't been this lively in a long time.
467
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:57,950
Indeed.
468
00:25:58,480 --> 00:25:59,270
We, aunt and nephew,
469
00:25:59,270 --> 00:26:00,610
haven't attended
470
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,640
such a thrilling event together
in a long time either.
471
00:26:11,310 --> 00:26:12,830
I, Natie, along with
the Yenisei Kirghiz Team,
472
00:26:12,830 --> 00:26:14,400
pay our respects to Your Majesty
473
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,530
and Your Highness the Grand Princess!
474
00:26:19,590 --> 00:26:22,070
We, the Great Tang Polo Team,
pay our respects to Your Majesty
475
00:26:22,070 --> 00:26:24,200
and Your Highness the Grand Princess!
476
00:26:25,910 --> 00:26:27,310
[Peace and prosperity]
477
00:26:27,830 --> 00:26:30,660
The Polo Tournament is held
every four years.
478
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,440
This time, with so many masters assembled,
479
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,500
it's truly a grand event of Chang'an—
480
00:26:34,590 --> 00:26:35,940
of the entire realm!
481
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,000
Polo not only
482
00:26:37,110 --> 00:26:38,560
strengthens the body
483
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:39,270
but also
484
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,670
fosters friendship among nations!
485
00:26:41,890 --> 00:26:44,340
[Peace and prosperity]
486
00:26:42,030 --> 00:26:43,400
As the ruler of the Tang Empire,
487
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,640
now that I'm here
at the championship field,
488
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,510
how could I not mount a horse
and wield a mallet
489
00:26:46,510 --> 00:26:47,730
to display my might?
490
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,270
Today, I intend to lead the Tang Team
491
00:26:50,270 --> 00:26:52,750
in the final match
against the Yenisei Kirghiz Team!
492
00:26:52,750 --> 00:26:54,640
Aunt, what do you think?
493
00:26:54,750 --> 00:26:55,380
Your Majesty,
494
00:26:55,380 --> 00:26:56,520
[Peace and prosperity]
495
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:56,740
you must not.
496
00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,440
I've already explained
497
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,960
my reasons to Your Majesty before.
498
00:27:03,790 --> 00:27:05,590
Why shouldn't His Majesty do so?
499
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,380
I think it's appropriate.
500
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,070
-But...
-Your Majesty has just taken the throne.
501
00:27:11,070 --> 00:27:12,650
If you take the field,
502
00:27:13,030 --> 00:27:15,890
foreign nations will witness
your majestic power.
503
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,620
If you win,
504
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,350
all under heaven will submit to you.
505
00:27:22,910 --> 00:27:25,110
But that doesn't conform to
proper protocol.
506
00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:25,960
The Yenisei Kirghiz Khan
507
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,270
isn't on the field.
508
00:27:29,510 --> 00:27:30,880
The Emperor's dignity
509
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,880
lies in bilateral equality
510
00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:35,510
and, moreover, in fighting for the nation!
511
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:36,960
Never mind whether their Khan
512
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,160
is on the field or not.
513
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,030
Our Emperor's
514
00:27:40,050 --> 00:27:42,250
polo match against the Yenisei Kirghiz
515
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,920
is a display of our national power,
516
00:27:45,030 --> 00:27:47,220
meant for all under heaven to see!
517
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:50,930
Chancellor Cui.
518
00:27:52,310 --> 00:27:53,440
Chief Minister Pei,
519
00:27:53,510 --> 00:27:55,160
since His Majesty has shown such passion
520
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,820
and Her Highness supports it,
521
00:27:56,950 --> 00:27:58,920
you should not stand in the way.
522
00:28:02,270 --> 00:28:02,880
Alright.
523
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:05,890
In that case,
524
00:28:06,310 --> 00:28:07,590
I shall change into my polo attire
525
00:28:07,590 --> 00:28:08,650
and take the field.
526
00:28:09,310 --> 00:28:11,340
[Peace and prosperity]
527
00:28:10,750 --> 00:28:11,550
Your Majesty,
528
00:28:11,580 --> 00:28:13,440
you must beware of conspiracies.
529
00:28:16,110 --> 00:28:17,350
Don't forget the intelligence
530
00:28:17,350 --> 00:28:19,070
we received about the Yenisei Kirghiz.
531
00:28:19,070 --> 00:28:20,270
You fear that the Yenisei Kirghiz
532
00:28:20,270 --> 00:28:22,010
might harm me on the field?
533
00:28:23,110 --> 00:28:24,520
Then, what do you think
534
00:28:24,670 --> 00:28:26,470
the polo mallet in my hand is for?
535
00:28:28,580 --> 00:28:30,720
[Peace and prosperity]
536
00:28:30,310 --> 00:28:31,110
Your Majesty,
537
00:28:31,270 --> 00:28:33,800
I, Lu Tong, am willing to
join you on the field.
538
00:28:37,030 --> 00:28:38,480
Grand General, 20 years ago,
539
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,310
you were also outstanding
on the polo field.
540
00:28:40,310 --> 00:28:41,750
But now, you've advanced in age
541
00:28:41,750 --> 00:28:42,950
and have lost one eye,
542
00:28:43,110 --> 00:28:44,170
so let's forget it.
543
00:28:44,590 --> 00:28:47,390
I've already chosen someone
to play alongside me.
544
00:28:47,830 --> 00:28:49,090
It's the one who helped
545
00:28:49,410 --> 00:28:50,750
our Tang Team win the championship
546
00:28:50,750 --> 00:28:52,350
four years ago, Lu Lingfeng!
547
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:56,360
Your Majesty,
548
00:28:56,420 --> 00:28:58,210
I, Lu Lingfeng, am ready.
549
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:01,400
Pei!
550
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:02,940
Yes, Your Majesty.
551
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,400
I'll personally enter the match.
552
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,110
Please fulfill your duty
as the tournament host!
553
00:29:07,110 --> 00:29:08,170
Yes, Your Majesty.
554
00:29:09,070 --> 00:29:10,470
The Great Tang Polo Team,
555
00:29:10,510 --> 00:29:12,750
led by His Majesty himself,
556
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,760
will battle against
the Yenisei Kirghiz Team!
557
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,680
The Great Tang Polo Team,
558
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,340
led by His Majesty himself,
559
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,510
will battle against
the Yenisei Kirghiz Team!
560
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,080
That so-called Natie...
561
00:29:34,350 --> 00:29:37,350
is actually Nasha,
the Yenisei Kirghiz Khan himself?
562
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:38,750
Indeed.
563
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:41,920
That aligns with the intelligence
564
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:42,800
I received.
565
00:29:43,110 --> 00:29:44,710
Grand General, look at this.
566
00:29:49,070 --> 00:29:50,240
Nasha, the Yenisei Kirghiz Khan,
567
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,350
has infiltrated Chang'an
568
00:29:51,350 --> 00:29:52,400
with some scheme in mind.
569
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,920
Now that it's confirmed,
570
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,160
I shall personally lead
the team in the match!
571
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,000
First, I'll defeat them on the polo field
572
00:29:59,000 --> 00:29:59,480
as a warning
573
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,410
to the Yenisei Kirghiz army
thousands of miles away.
574
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:06,500
Unfortunately...
575
00:30:07,670 --> 00:30:10,650
Pei Mian will certainly try his best
to stop me.
576
00:30:11,810 --> 00:30:12,650
I'm afraid
577
00:30:13,590 --> 00:30:14,990
that when the time comes,
578
00:30:15,090 --> 00:30:16,680
we might make a scene
579
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,270
in front of all the foreign envoys.
580
00:30:18,270 --> 00:30:19,960
If Her Highness the Princess
attends in person
581
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,640
to support Your Majesty's participation,
582
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,570
Chief Minister Pei won't be able to
stop you, will he?
583
00:30:24,750 --> 00:30:26,310
Aunt has already informed
the Court of State Ceremonials
584
00:30:26,310 --> 00:30:27,560
that she won't be coming.
585
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,880
No, Her Highness has changed her mind.
586
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:32,160
Her Highness said
587
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,440
that in times of crisis,
588
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,400
she's willing to stand with Your Majesty
589
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:36,860
against foreign enemies!
590
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:41,970
Did my aunt really say that?
591
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,370
The Tang Team and the Yenisei Kirghiz Team
592
00:31:50,170 --> 00:31:59,200
[Peace and prosperity]
593
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,130
are both ready
594
00:31:53,270 --> 00:31:55,310
to begin the match!
595
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,400
According to protocol, it should be
His Majesty who serves the ball.
596
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:05,720
But now...
597
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:10,830
I shall serve the ball.
598
00:32:20,550 --> 00:32:21,720
Stick to the original plan.
599
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:22,350
After we deal with
600
00:32:22,350 --> 00:32:23,750
those people on the viewing platform,
601
00:32:23,750 --> 00:32:26,210
we'll kill him on the field
during the chaos.
602

[Peace and prosperity]
603
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,000
What a beautiful polo ball.
604
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,680
But whether it can bring lasting peace
and prosperity
605
00:32:43,110 --> 00:32:45,110
depends on those who hold it.
606
00:33:19,470 --> 00:33:20,720
Your Highness threw the ball
607
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,590
with both heroism and grace.
608
00:33:24,790 --> 00:33:25,240
But...
609
00:33:25,830 --> 00:33:26,830
do we really have to do this?
610
00:33:26,830 --> 00:33:28,750
When all nations have come to pay tribute,
611
00:33:28,750 --> 00:33:30,500
any plot against the Emperor
612
00:33:30,590 --> 00:33:32,560
is a threat to our Tang Empire.
613
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,470
I'll set aside my dispute
with him for now.
614
00:33:36,110 --> 00:33:39,170
We'll be killing enemies
while chatting and laughing.
615
00:33:42,030 --> 00:33:43,550
But the safety here...
616
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:45,510
Don't worry,
617
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,750
the ball is very safe.
618
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,320

632
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,230
How did you know
633
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,070
I have the Seven-Colored Beast Hides?
634
00:35:43,070 --> 00:35:44,030
Well,
635
00:35:44,710 --> 00:35:48,040
I checked the records
at the Court of the Imperial Treasury.
636
00:35:48,110 --> 00:35:49,800
In the first year of Yongchun,
637
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,250
the Byzantine Empire also presented
638
00:35:52,250 --> 00:35:54,190
two pieces of Seven-Colored Beast Hide
as tribute.
639
00:35:54,190 --> 00:35:56,330
At that time, Empress Wu Zetian
640
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,230
bestowed them upon Your Highness.
641
00:35:58,230 --> 00:35:59,590
I imagine your mansion
642
00:35:59,660 --> 00:36:01,520
must be full of rare treasures,
643
00:36:01,630 --> 00:36:03,140
so you might not
644
00:36:03,230 --> 00:36:05,180
have used those two hides.
645
00:36:05,820 --> 00:36:07,760
You sly Su Wuming.
646
00:36:08,210 --> 00:36:10,290
You're eyeing my things now?
647
00:36:12,350 --> 00:36:14,840
I do have two pieces
of Seven-Colored Beast Hide,
648
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,170
but they're spoken for.
649
00:36:16,530 --> 00:36:17,230
I won't lend them.
650
00:36:17,230 --> 00:36:19,230
Not to borrow them, but to take them.
651
00:36:21,670 --> 00:36:24,240
Because once they're made into
a polo ball,
652
00:36:24,430 --> 00:36:26,160
they can't be returned intact.
653
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:27,940
So it's not really borrowing.
654
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,910
Although it's still speculation,
655
00:36:32,750 --> 00:36:34,840
Li Zhuang has been by my side
656
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,280
ever since he joined the Imperial Guard.
657
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:37,240
I know him well.
658
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,040
He's extremely meticulous.
659
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,460
This lead must be taken seriously.
660

If the Yenisei Kirghiz spies
661
00:36:43,550 --> 00:36:44,840
have truly tampered
662
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,480
with the Imperial Polo Ball,

00:36:46,590 --> 00:36:48,060

is simply unimaginable.

Therefore, I, Lu Lingfeng,
667

request those two pieces of hide
from Your Highness.

If you take them today,

you won't have any at your wedding.

for this generous gift.

Yes.

Even if I give you the beast hides,
679
00:37:25,550 --> 00:37:26,110
can you make
680
00:37:26,110 --> 00:37:27,730
an identical polo ball?
681
00:37:28,150 --> 00:37:30,680
If you use craftsmen
from the Tribute Office,
682
00:37:30,710 --> 00:37:32,710
how will you keep it secret from Pei Mian?
683
00:37:32,710 --> 00:37:34,640
And then His Majesty will find out.
684
00:37:37,190 --> 00:37:38,200
It's like this.
685
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:39,480
Those polo balls
686
00:37:39,510 --> 00:37:41,670
were originally designed by Xijun.
687
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,540
We have the blueprints ready.
688
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,320
Feng Tai,
the current Ghost Market Magistrate,
689
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,340
has also agreed to help craft it.

00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:50,110
Feng Tai?
691
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,270
He's an eccentric genius of our empire.
692
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,020
So the mechanism won't be a problem.
693
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,490
But the hides require embroidery work.
694
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,000
As luck would have it,
695
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,670
Feng Tai has recently become
obsessed with embroidery.
696
00:38:05,670 --> 00:38:08,190
I've seen his embroidery work
with my own eyes.
697
00:38:08,190 --> 00:38:09,670
It's exquisite.
698
00:38:10,550 --> 00:38:11,630
Very well, then.
699
00:38:14,190 --> 00:38:16,110
Lu Lingfeng, let me ask you,
700
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,840
how is the investigation
of the Yenisei Kirghiz spies going?
701
00:38:20,110 --> 00:38:21,070
Though we haven't captured them yet,
702
00:38:21,070 --> 00:38:22,960
we've basically identified the targets.
703
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,480
Then why not arrest them immediately
704
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,100
to eliminate future trouble?
705
00:38:26,100 --> 00:38:26,830
If we do that,
706
00:38:27,230 --> 00:38:29,350
I fear it might affect
707
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,840
the smooth running of the Polo Tournament.
708
00:38:32,750 --> 00:38:34,840
Moreover, there are still many mysteries
709
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,110
unsolved.
710
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,000
If we alert them prematurely,
711
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,960
not only will we fail to catch them all,
712
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,760
but we might also drive those spies
713
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,800
to hatch even bigger conspiracies!
714
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,380
Therefore, I believe
715
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,120
the final match
716
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,040
