My death

4
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,020
will clear the path for Cen Pickles,

5
00:01:42,310 --> 00:01:44,210
and the Tiemo King's life

6
00:01:45,150 --> 00:01:46,820
will draw out the 3,000 Tiemo shadow guards.

7
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,540
This plan is nearing its end.

8
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:52,540
Fate

9
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:54,660
will soon show its hand.

10

The realm's future

11
00:01:57,710 --> 00:01:58,740

14
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:37,910
Move!

15
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,170
Surround Hidden Soldier Alley!

16
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:09,170
Yes!

17
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,650
The people who moved into Hidden Soldier Alley

18
00:03:13,030 --> 00:03:14,490
brought life back to it,

19
00:03:15,150 --> 00:03:16,210
but today,

20
00:03:18,430 --> 00:03:19,900
smoke and fire will return.

21
00:03:22,310 --> 00:03:24,420
Will Mr. Xie Huai'an arrive on time?

22
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:30,770
Ye Zheng,

23
00:03:32,750 --> 00:03:33,820
the Shen-hour plan

24
00:03:35,060 --> 00:03:36,160
cannot afford

25
00:03:36,950 --> 00:03:38,420
a single misstep.

26
00:03:39,430 --> 00:03:40,210
Therefore,

27
00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:42,470
you must appear at the exact place

28
00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:43,580
I designated for you on time

29
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,300
and wait for me there.

30
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,420
This is the grandest stratagem of his life.

31
00:03:53,430 --> 00:03:54,530
He will not be absent.

32
00:04:45,570 --> 00:04:46,030
Run!

33
00:04:47,910 --> 00:04:48,690
Goodbye!

34
00:04:55,270 --> 00:04:55,810
After him!

35
00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:09,010
I do not know what tomorrow holds.

36
00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:11,890
But today, let us

37
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,220
say our farewell properly.

38
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,010
If you do that, you will die.

39
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,570
Don't worry.

40
00:05:24,310 --> 00:05:25,180
I promise

41
00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:28,220
we will meet again.

42
00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:31,330
Your task is crucial.

43
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,100
I believe

44
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,010
you can

45
00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:39,690
do it.

46
00:05:42,190 --> 00:05:43,330
I won't die.

47
00:05:44,630 --> 00:05:46,450
And you must not die either.

48
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,960
Everything today

49
00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:20,460
had been arranged in advance,

50
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,260
including the pot mender

51
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,280
and the physician named Yi Zhihu.

52
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,490
What are you hiding

53
00:06:27,490 --> 00:06:28,880
that you cannot tell me outright?

54
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:35,570
Very well.

55
00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:37,650
I will be honest.

56
00:06:42,470 --> 00:06:43,180
Tomorrow,

57
00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:45,410
I am going to meet the King of Tiemo,

58
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,450
staking my life on this plan.

59
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,820
The pot mender

60
00:06:51,380 --> 00:06:53,500
is linked to the units I've hidden in the city.

61
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,180
Tomorrow at the Shen hour,

62
00:06:56,190 --> 00:06:57,450
our clash with Tiemo

63
00:06:58,430 --> 00:06:59,620
will unfold within the city.

64
00:07:02,390 --> 00:07:02,860
And

65
00:07:04,030 --> 00:07:05,540
what will happen to you?

66
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,570
When fireworks rise

67
00:07:13,630 --> 00:07:15,420
at the Shen hour,

68
00:07:16,310 --> 00:07:17,330
you and Yi Zhihu

69
00:07:17,870 --> 00:07:19,450
should come to the Tiemo King's residence for me.

70
00:07:20,310 --> 00:07:21,330
As for the outcome,

71
00:07:22,270 --> 00:07:23,250
it rests in Heaven's hands.

72
00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:31,690
Remember:

73
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,690
if you act

74
00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:36,180
before the Shen hour,

75
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,100
you will alert them,

76
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:40,780
and the entire plan

77
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:42,570
will collapse.

78
00:07:45,630 --> 00:07:46,690
You must not die.

79
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,010
One man's life

80
00:07:53,190 --> 00:07:54,660
is nothing beside the fate

81
00:07:55,950 --> 00:07:57,010
of Chang'an.

82
00:07:58,190 --> 00:07:58,890
Besides,

83
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,250
Yi Zhihu's medical skill

84
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,330
matches your master's.

85
00:08:05,270 --> 00:08:06,060
Perhaps

86
00:08:06,870 --> 00:08:07,890
she will keep me alive.

87
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:31,940
Sir,

88
00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:33,330
the two of them

89
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:34,780
split in two directions.

90
00:08:35,510 --> 00:08:36,540
We lost them both.

91
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,140
Had Genghui been here,

92
00:08:41,140 --> 00:08:42,250
we wouldn't have failed.

93
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,420
But did Xie Huai'an truly risk his life

94
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,030
just to draw Fang Genghui away

95
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,210
and rescue Xiao Wenjing?

96
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:55,360
Stay back!

97
00:08:56,630 --> 00:08:57,780
Xiao Wenjing,

98
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,140
you are not useless after all.

99
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,140
But don't forget

100
00:09:03,510 --> 00:09:05,300
that Xiao Wuyang is still in our hands.

101
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,420
He's in Yulong Ridge, isn't he?

102
00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:10,690
Someone is already on the way to save him.

103
00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:24,540
Kill them!

104
00:09:25,020 --> 00:09:26,090
Break through!

105
00:09:26,890 --> 00:09:27,630
Charge!

106
00:09:41,380 --> 00:09:42,820
Kill Xiao Wuyang!

107
00:10:06,190 --> 00:10:08,140
You won't be able to rescue Xiao Wuyang.

108
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:09,770
Even if we fail,

109
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,730
the Tiemo King will die in Hidden Soldier Alley.

110
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:14,730
At worst,

111
00:10:16,030 --> 00:10:17,660
we trade one life for another.

112
00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:24,320
Sir.

113
00:10:31,330 --> 00:10:32,880
Report!

114
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:38,900
Sir,

115
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,650
large numbers of Wuyang troops appeared in the city.

116
00:10:40,650 --> 00:10:41,840
They've surrounded Hidden Soldier Alley.

117
00:10:41,890 --> 00:10:42,970
Hidden Soldier Alley?

118
00:10:45,030 --> 00:10:46,450
Is His Majesty still in his residence?

119
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:45,970
Zheng.

120
00:12:47,270 --> 00:12:48,070
Has he returned?

121
00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:50,650
He has.

122
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:55,660
This is the next move.

123
00:13:01,460 --> 00:13:03,820
[The Tiemo King will be locked in battle with Yan Fengshan.]

124
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,210
We've fallen into Xie Huai'an's trap.

125
00:13:13,870 --> 00:13:14,500
His Majesty

126
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,460
has been taken by Cen Pickles.

127
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,220
Surround Hidden Soldier Alley!

128
00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:38,500
Breaking into the granary

129
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:39,770
will not be easy.

130
00:14:39,940 --> 00:14:40,520
[Map of Yanzuo Ward]

131
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:41,620
They made the first move.

132
00:14:41,930 --> 00:14:44,140
The whole ward must have become a trap.

133
00:14:44,750 --> 00:14:45,760
Xie Huai'an

134
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,130
wants to force a decisive battle.

135
00:14:50,230 --> 00:14:52,030
Hidden Soldier Alley is certainly a trap.

136
00:14:52,690 --> 00:14:53,760
The guards at the Imperial Guard Station

137
00:14:54,950 --> 00:14:56,740
may not be able to break through.

138
00:14:58,750 --> 00:14:59,530
Notify every shadow guard

139
00:14:59,530 --> 00:15:00,640
in the city to armor up

140
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:01,800
and converge

141
00:15:02,350 --> 00:15:03,300
on Hidden Soldier Alley.

142
00:15:03,550 --> 00:15:04,000
Understood.

143
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,380
I know your concern.

144
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:15,970
To expose the shadow guards

145
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,900
is to reveal our last cards.

146
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:19,540
But Genghui,

147
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,570
His Majesty cannot die.

148
00:15:23,270 --> 00:15:24,300
If he falls,

149
00:15:24,550 --> 00:15:25,660
even if our army

150
00:15:25,660 --> 00:15:26,810
takes Chang'an,

151
00:15:27,270 --> 00:15:28,610
trouble will never end.

152
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,330
For years,

153
00:15:50,030 --> 00:15:51,780
our 3,000 shadow guards have scouted

154
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,180
every corner of Chang'an,

155
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:55,970
including Hidden Soldier Alley.

156
00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:58,690
This spot has long been piled with clutter,

157
00:15:58,720 --> 00:15:59,750
poorly guarded,

158
00:16:00,220 --> 00:16:02,160
and forgotten.

159
00:16:04,310 --> 00:16:05,450
From here,

160
00:16:05,870 --> 00:16:07,610
we can cut straight into the alley.

161
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,230
Stay close. Move!

162
00:16:42,690 --> 00:16:45,210
The formation inside Hidden Soldier Alley is already set.

163
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:46,820
The breach on the west side

164
00:16:46,990 --> 00:16:48,180
was left there on purpose.

165
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,990
It is the death gate laid for the Tiemo forces.

166
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,340
To save their king,

167
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,250
they will enter through it.

168
00:16:55,950 --> 00:16:56,870
Once they're in,

169
00:16:57,550 --> 00:16:59,200
they will never leave.

170
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,340
Among Tiemo forces,

171
00:20:06,710 --> 00:20:07,990
only centurions and above

172
00:20:08,260 --> 00:20:09,360
carry the command arrows,

173
00:20:10,430 --> 00:20:11,750
and a centurion

174
00:20:12,260 --> 00:20:13,940
is hard to kill.

175
00:20:14,940 --> 00:20:15,550
Ye Zheng,

176
00:20:16,030 --> 00:20:17,360
this is your task.

177
00:20:18,070 --> 00:20:19,400
Gather the command arrows.

178
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:20,580
They will be

179
00:20:20,710 --> 00:20:21,850
of great use to us.

180
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,820
The Tiemo King is not in Hidden Soldier Alley.

181
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,340
The Wuyang Army's blockade

182
00:21:51,180 --> 00:21:53,640
is only a performance to mislead the Tiemo people.

183
00:22:49,650 --> 00:22:50,220
The command arrow

184
00:22:50,750 --> 00:22:53,020
is their signal for reinforcements.

185
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,900
More shadow guards, armored and armed,

186
00:22:57,950 --> 00:22:59,660
will break in from the west side of the alley

187
00:22:59,710 --> 00:23:01,460
and walk straight into our trap.

188
00:23:02,270 --> 00:23:04,280
Tiemo will commit all its strength

189
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:05,860
and have no cards left.

190
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,940
We will put everything to an end

191
00:23:09,670 --> 00:23:11,260
in Hidden Soldier Alley.

192
00:23:25,030 --> 00:23:26,660
Even if you kill me,

193
00:23:29,060 --> 00:23:30,730
you still...

194
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:45,840
Are there more enemies?

195
00:23:46,510 --> 00:23:47,370
All dead.

196
00:24:06,830 --> 00:24:07,500
What is it?

197
00:24:08,550 --> 00:24:09,370
By now,

198
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:11,890
inside the granary,

199
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,370
the victor has been decided.

200
00:24:33,110 --> 00:24:34,460
After all these years,

201
00:24:35,830 --> 00:24:37,460
you are still trapped in that granary.

202
00:24:38,550 --> 00:24:39,540
Today,

203
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,170
you will not walk out either.

204
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,130
I've always wanted to ask you something.

205
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,650
On that snowy night,

206
00:25:17,590 --> 00:25:18,540
why did you spare him?

207
00:25:24,910 --> 00:25:25,850
They say

208
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:27,870
that in Mount Shiluoman,

209
00:25:29,090 --> 00:25:31,130
there is a rare

210
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:32,980
and ugly toad.

211
00:25:33,830 --> 00:25:34,660
A toad?

212
00:25:36,750 --> 00:25:37,850
When it meets its own kind,

213
00:25:39,350 --> 00:25:40,700
it is frightened by the other's ugliness

214
00:25:42,110 --> 00:25:43,570
and exudes an oil in shock,

215
00:25:45,510 --> 00:25:46,740
only then realizing

216
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:49,890
it is just as ugly.

217
00:25:52,790 --> 00:25:53,980
The tale exists.

218
00:25:54,590 --> 00:25:55,370
That oil

219
00:25:55,750 --> 00:25:57,300
is said to be the world's only cure for regret.

220
00:26:05,670 --> 00:26:07,370
I spared Yan Fengshan that night

221
00:26:11,110 --> 00:26:12,890
because I thought of that toad.

222
00:26:14,830 --> 00:26:15,890
In his eyes,

223
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,460
I seemed to see myself.

224
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:28,010
Finish it, White Hair.

225
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:40,700
No.

226
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,810
You must die slowly.

227
00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:47,220
That hurts more.

228
00:26:50,790 --> 00:26:51,940
A traitor like you

229
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:54,610
should have died long ago.

230
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,130
Speak.

231
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,130
Why did you rebel?

232
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,180
You never walked out

233
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,770
of the Liu Manor

234
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,320
from the night it fell 15 years ago.

235
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,400
I never walked out

236
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:15,920
of the granary at Chen Valley either.

237
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:18,720
I've always believed

238
00:27:19,850 --> 00:27:21,680
that only by killing everyone

239
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,130
can I stay alive.

240
00:27:28,910 --> 00:27:30,860
Aren't you the same?

241
00:27:33,070 --> 00:27:33,650
Yes.

242
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:36,890
Only by killing my enemies

243
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:39,940
can I go on living.

244
00:27:41,310 --> 00:27:42,220
In truth,

245
00:27:43,830 --> 00:27:46,370
you and I share one enemy.

246
00:27:47,790 --> 00:27:50,260
The one who drove me into that granary.

247
00:27:51,310 --> 00:27:53,810
He took part in killing your father.

248
00:27:54,310 --> 00:27:56,060
On the night your family was massacred,

249
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,710
he stood in the shadows.

250
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:01,320
You remember him,

251
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:03,620
but you do not know him.

252
00:28:04,460 --> 00:28:05,980
After I die,

253
00:28:06,580 --> 00:28:07,940
he will come.

254
00:28:20,570 --> 00:28:22,040
The Huben Army's top shadow guard

255
00:28:23,270 --> 00:28:24,570
must have made preparations

256
00:28:25,830 --> 00:28:27,440
for his death.

257
00:28:29,070 --> 00:28:30,220
Somewhere in this house,

258
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,370
there must be a head wearing a face made to look like yours.

259
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,410
Why did you return?

260
00:29:15,650 --> 00:29:16,680
After that night,

261
00:29:18,430 --> 00:29:20,070
I sat on the street for a long time.

262
00:29:22,310 --> 00:29:23,570
The streets of Chang'an

263
00:29:24,350 --> 00:29:25,700
truly have fine scenery.

264
00:29:27,350 --> 00:29:28,500
People came and went,

265
00:29:28,935 --> 00:29:49,835
(Watch on www.dramacool.club Support Admin)

266
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,330
living their lives as usual.

267
00:29:35,180 --> 00:29:36,520
No one spoke of Yan Fengshan's

268
00:29:38,150 --> 00:29:39,120
rise or fall.

269
00:29:44,110 --> 00:29:45,170
Tomorrow at the Shen hour,

270
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,220
fight for Chang'an,

271
00:29:50,470 --> 00:29:52,290
and you will finally walk out of that granary.

272
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:54,740
Your ending

273
00:29:56,510 --> 00:29:57,370
is yours to choose.

274
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,500
Thank you for granting me this chance.

275
00:30:10,310 --> 00:30:11,300
I am granting nothing.

276
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:16,930
You killed my family.

277
00:30:18,390 --> 00:30:20,170
The Liu clan will never forgive you.

278
00:30:28,550 --> 00:30:29,930
You carved this amulet

279
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,500
for Liu Li back then.

280
00:30:35,590 --> 00:30:37,020
Now that the realm is in peril,

281
00:30:39,290 --> 00:30:40,380
I use it

282
00:30:43,140 --> 00:30:44,390
to buy your life

283
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,100
and return it to Chang'an.

284
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:40,540
White Hair,

285
00:31:42,390 --> 00:31:43,690
I owe you nothing now,

286
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,960
and I owe Chang'an nothing.

287
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,500
Even if we cannot save His Majesty,

288
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,650
even if I die here today,

289
00:33:05,590 --> 00:33:07,020
there are still 200,000 Tiemo troops

290
00:33:07,590 --> 00:33:09,490
in your lands.

291
00:33:10,370 --> 00:33:11,310
In half a day's time,

292
00:33:11,820 --> 00:33:14,050
they will reach Chang'an.

293
00:33:14,910 --> 00:33:15,880
When they arrive,

294
00:33:16,590 --> 00:33:18,650
the city will run with blood.

295
00:33:24,150 --> 00:33:25,130
You think

296
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,450
Xie Huai'an did not foresee that?

297
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,500
The Baiwenhu Army fell so easily

298
00:33:34,350 --> 00:33:35,650
because that was Gu Yu's stratagem.

299
00:33:36,870 --> 00:33:37,690
By not fighting to the death,

300
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,300
they preserved most of their forces.

301
00:33:41,390 --> 00:33:41,930
For this,

302
00:33:42,630 --> 00:33:44,500
Xie Huai'an devised his master plan.

303
00:33:46,150 --> 00:33:47,690
As the Tiemo army marched south,

304
00:33:48,550 --> 00:33:49,740
Xie Huai'an's messenger

305
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,500
met with the four regional commanders.

306
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,410
If they refused

307
00:33:54,870 --> 00:33:56,650
to help break the siege of Chang'an,

308
00:33:57,310 --> 00:33:58,340
the Baiwenhu Army

309
00:33:58,830 --> 00:34:00,340
would immediately take Xie Huai'an's order

310
00:34:00,340 --> 00:34:01,890
and attack them.

311
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:03,820
The choice between perishing together

312
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:05,450
and standing united

313
00:34:05,450 --> 00:34:06,410
against Tiemo

314
00:34:07,110 --> 00:34:08,140
should be

315
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:11,450
easy to make, shouldn't it?

316
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:19,570
By now,

317
00:34:20,430 --> 00:34:21,620
your Tiemo army

318
00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:24,220
should already be under attack from all sides.

319
00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:27,570
Impossible.

320
00:34:28,510 --> 00:34:29,530
How so?

321
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:32,180
I see.

322
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,380
The military reports you received

323
00:34:34,380 --> 00:34:35,450
did not say any of this,

324
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:37,060
did they?

325
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,330
Xie Huai'an and the Huben Army have reconciled.

326
00:34:45,310 --> 00:34:46,890
That force, skilled in disguise

327
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,300
and infiltration,

328
00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:49,410
was his by right.

329
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,030
They merely did what they excelled at

330
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:53,700
and slipped into your

331
00:34:54,350 --> 00:34:55,280
intelligence network.

332
00:34:56,250 --> 00:34:57,550
So for the past three days,

333
00:34:57,910 --> 00:34:59,010
every report you received

334
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,300
was exactly what we wanted you to see.

335
00:35:07,910 --> 00:35:08,370
By the way,

336
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,260
the battle in Hidden Soldier Alley was also a ruse,

337
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:12,540
meant to draw out

338
00:35:12,540 --> 00:35:14,260
every shadow guard you had

339
00:35:14,260 --> 00:35:15,340
in the city.

340
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:17,220
And one more thing.

341
00:35:17,380 --> 00:35:18,370
The Tiemo King

342
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:21,700
was never here.

343
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:26,490
By now,

344
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:28,660
he should already be dead

345
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:29,570
somewhere else.

346
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:43,970
Accept defeat.

347
00:35:59,430 --> 00:36:00,700
You wanted an alliance with me, didn't you?

348
00:36:02,030 --> 00:36:03,260
Then sign

349
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:04,820
this treaty

350
00:36:06,510 --> 00:36:07,340
and withdraw your troops.

351
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:09,740
Otherwise,

352
00:36:10,670 --> 00:36:12,600
two generations of Tiemo's strength,

353
00:36:13,390 --> 00:36:14,740
every man fit to ride

354
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,010
into battle,

355
00:36:16,870 --> 00:36:17,970
will die.

356
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,700
None will be able to return home.

357
00:36:48,420 --> 00:36:49,700
[The Emperor pays respects to the King of Tiemo.]

358
00:36:49,700 --> 00:36:51,700
[Envoy Wuyin Chong proposes to cease the war and restore the lands.]

359
00:36:51,700 --> 00:36:52,900
[A new pact shall be forged to bring peace among the peoples.]

360
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,180
White Hair?

361
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,550
Yan Fengshan died for you.

362
00:39:35,890 --> 00:39:37,740
And Cen Pickles risked everything for you.

363
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,870
You truly are something.

364
00:39:58,470 --> 00:40:00,090
They did not risk their lives for me.

365
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:06,090
They only wished

366
00:40:06,090 --> 00:40:08,300
to protect the grain and flour of Chang'an.

367
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:29,970
You asked me what I lived for.

368
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:36,410
I live

369
00:40:38,910 --> 00:40:41,290
for that same grain and flour.

370
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,300
Since it's over the grain and flour,

371
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,050
you and I are enemies.

372
00:40:55,830 --> 00:40:57,140
If you die here,

373
00:40:58,470 --> 00:40:59,660
no one will know.

374
00:41:00,510 --> 00:41:01,780
I spent years planning

375
00:41:03,510 --> 00:41:04,570
before returning to Chang'an

376
00:41:07,430 --> 00:41:09,930
to destroy the entire Huben Army,

377
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:16,620
yet I failed to realize

378
00:41:19,050 --> 00:41:20,610
I was one of them.

379
00:41:23,530 --> 00:41:24,640
My father

380
00:41:26,030 --> 00:41:28,260
raised the Huben Army for Chang'an.

381
00:41:29,090 --> 00:41:30,260
Every member is a shadow guard.

382
00:41:32,170 --> 00:41:33,310
So many died

383
00:41:33,310 --> 00:41:35,050
without leaving their names behind.

384
00:41:37,990 --> 00:41:39,570
That is the price of protection.

385
00:41:42,940 --> 00:41:44,090
For a Huben guard,

386
00:41:44,770 --> 00:41:46,090
to kill the enemy

387
00:41:47,030 --> 00:41:48,570
is the highest merit.

388
00:41:49,350 --> 00:41:50,450
You think

389
00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:52,740
you can win?

390
00:41:58,390 --> 00:42:00,700
The shadow guards you hid in the city

391
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:02,850
all believe you are trapped

392
00:42:02,850 --> 00:42:04,780
in the granary of Hidden Soldier Alley.

393
00:42:06,430 --> 00:42:07,860
The remnants of the Baiwenhu Army

394
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,620
and the forces of the four regional commanders

395
00:42:12,510 --> 00:42:14,740
have already united.

396
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:17,860
The entire heartland of our empire

397
00:42:19,510 --> 00:42:21,660
has become a trap for your Tiemo army.

398
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:24,700
Do you think

399
00:42:25,930 --> 00:42:27,180
you can win?

400
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:29,790
As long as I live,

401
00:42:31,870 --> 00:42:33,410
the victor is not yet decided.

402
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:42,010
White Hair,

403
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:44,970
you

404
00:42:47,950 --> 00:42:50,300
forced yourself here on sheer will alone.

405
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:53,780
How do you plan to kill me?

406
00:42:57,310 --> 00:42:59,410
Can your hands, meant for writing and pouring tea,

407
00:43:00,510 --> 00:43:01,890
even lift a sword?

408
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:06,970
Can the words

409
00:43:08,050 --> 00:43:09,660
"protect Chang'an" kill me?

410
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:12,410
No.

411
00:43:13,910 --> 00:43:15,490
But another phrase can.

412
00:43:19,720 --> 00:43:22,140
Fifteen years ago, in the Grand Academy,

413
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,930
when you taught us to make funnel timers,

414
00:43:27,430 --> 00:43:28,740
you said six words.

415
00:44:22,470 --> 00:44:24,140
The room is full of flour dust.

416
00:44:25,030 --> 00:44:26,660
You should "settle the dust to prevent fire."

417
00:44:27,910 --> 00:44:28,780
Remember?

418
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:30,400
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

419
00:44:39,950 --> 00:44:41,530
With a broken body,

420
00:44:42,830 --> 00:44:44,740
I kill the King of Tiemo.

421
00:44:45,350 --> 00:44:46,220
Today,

422
00:44:46,830 --> 00:44:48,010
I win!

423
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:30,700
After tomorrow,

424
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:33,450
I hope Chang'an

425
00:45:34,990 --> 00:45:36,340
can still know such peace.

426
00:45:38,470 --> 00:45:39,570
But you

427
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:41,300
will be gone then.

428
00:45:47,170 --> 00:45:48,300
The plan is set.

429
00:45:49,830 --> 00:45:51,140
Whether I am here or not

430
00:45:52,750 --> 00:45:53,970
won't matter.

431
00:45:59,420 --> 00:46:00,700
