TING DI

3
00:00:11,410 --> 00:00:12,410
Ting Di,

4
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:15,200
Those above order us
to stop everything

5
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:18,700
to track down a mysterious criminal
with a four year old child.

6
00:00:19,410 --> 00:00:22,200
If we manage to deliver it,
then we can

7
00:00:22,370 --> 00:00:24,160
return to the elite cavalry.

8
00:00:24,750 --> 00:00:26,330
Looks like it's important.

9
00:00:27,250 --> 00:00:28,700
This child...

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,500
would finally be alive?

11
00:00:31,750 --> 00:00:34,120
You knew
for this contract?

12
00:00:34,750 --> 00:00:36,410
Obviously.

13
00:00:37,250 --> 00:00:39,500
The elite cavalry is in this state

14
00:00:39,870 --> 00:00:42,290

Faster, catch it!

00:02:21,620 --> 00:02:22,290
Come on !

42
00:02:30,370 --> 00:02:33,580
Get out, looters!
It's our prey!

43
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,830
First come, first served.
Let's go, guys!

We're going to catch you!

47
00:02:48,870 --> 00:02:49,750
Kill him!

48
00:02:55,620 --> 00:02:57,700
Faster! Everyone after him!

49
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,040
Hold it!

50
00:03:02,290 --> 00:03:03,660
Listen to me carefully, Xiao Qi.

51
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,000
Hang in there.

52
00:03:05,410 --> 00:03:06,620
Black Star is sold out.

53
00:03:06,870 --> 00:03:09,410
If it falls, I will take
one of their horses.

54
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,450
So hold on to me.
Understood ?

55
00:03:12,620 --> 00:03:13,250
Yes !

56
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:29,870
Hold on, my old friend.

57
00:03:30,450 --> 00:03:33,330
We'll get through this, all together!

58
00:03:36,660 --> 00:03:37,620
We'll catch up!

59
00:03:38,620 --> 00:03:39,540
A little more!

60
00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:42,870
Dao Ma, watch out ahead!
There are others!

61
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:47,080
I'm popular this month.

62
00:03:47,250 --> 00:03:48,410
Hold on tight!

63
00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:51,160
- Black Star!
- PULL !

64
00:04:15,410 --> 00:04:16,120
Dao Ma.

65
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,160
Follow us. My father is waiting for you.

66
00:04:20,620 --> 00:04:22,950
He says you have to
meet someone.

67
00:04:31,290 --> 00:04:33,370
Ayuya is back!

68
00:04:33,790 --> 00:04:36,540
- It's Ayuya!
- Welcome back, Ayuya.

69
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,620
Ayuya.

70
00:04:37,790 --> 00:04:39,620
Ayuya!

71
00:04:41,410 --> 00:04:42,750
Lots of new faces.

72
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:47,120
Even if it is to receive me,
all that wasn't necessary.

73
00:04:47,620 --> 00:04:49,450
You were more than enough.

74
00:04:49,620 --> 00:04:53,200
A special guest has arrived,
so we committed more forces.

75
00:04:53,910 --> 00:04:56,120
Where is Mo? I didn't see it.

76
00:04:56,700 --> 00:04:58,500
My father ordered everything to stop,

77
00:04:58,660 --> 00:05:01,830
and proclaimed martial law
in the market. He won't show up.

78
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:08,040
I left for a short time,
and everything seems to have changed.

79
00:05:08,540 --> 00:05:11,330
Some things, they
never change.

80
00:05:12,750 --> 00:05:14,370
Others change,
savage.

81
00:05:14,540 --> 00:05:16,370
Things change,
savage.

82
00:05:18,290 --> 00:05:20,870
Well, tell me more
on this famous guest.

83
00:05:21,580 --> 00:05:24,080
This person is
even stranger than you.

84
00:05:24,410 --> 00:05:26,910
- My father called him Zhi Shilang.
- Ayuya, Chief Mo

85
00:05:27,700 --> 00:05:29,870
- awaits you in the Secret Chamber.
- I know.

86
00:05:45,750 --> 00:05:47,200
Father, we are home.

87
00:05:47,950 --> 00:05:50,370
Dao Ma, it's been a tough road for you.

88
00:05:50,580 --> 00:05:51,450
It's nothing.

89
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,580
I'm even happy
to be escorted by these young ladies.

90
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,410
Perfect then.

91
00:05:58,910 --> 00:06:00,200
Dao Ma?

92
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:03,040
Zhi Shilang said

93
00:06:03,450 --> 00:06:06,370
that it is a given title
to elite cavalry during the Sui.

94
00:06:04,540 --> 00:06:06,370
ZHI SHILANG

95
00:06:07,410 --> 00:06:09,040
You know things.

96
00:06:09,620 --> 00:06:11,450
Zhi Shilang also knows that in the past,

97
00:06:12,290 --> 00:06:15,870
a young stranger
arrived from the countryside.

98
00:06:16,750 --> 00:06:19,160
He was competent, ambitious,

99
00:06:19,660 --> 00:06:21,870
and has proven its effectiveness
during the war.

100
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:24,450
After unification
from the central plain

101
00:06:24,660 --> 00:06:26,910
by the Sui,
he was promoted to elite rider,

102
00:06:27,290 --> 00:06:29,750
and received this title: Dao Ma.

103
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:35,500
Zhi Shilang also knows
that Xiao Qi was born

104
00:06:35,870 --> 00:06:36,700
in Chang’an.

105
00:06:38,660 --> 00:06:39,330
Speak.

106
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,200
Who are you?

107
00:06:43,250 --> 00:06:44,660
Who is Zhi Shilang?

108
00:06:45,870 --> 00:06:47,370
Dao Ma, let go!

109
00:06:48,540 --> 00:06:49,330
I...

110
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,580
Who I am is not important.

111
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:57,790
What is important,
I'm here to help you.

112
00:06:58,410 --> 00:07:01,700
Since your three years of wandering
in the western regions,

113
00:07:01,870 --> 00:07:04,830
you always wanted to go back.

114
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,160
Today you can
accomplish this will.

115
00:07:15,870 --> 00:07:16,830
Dao Ma,

116
00:07:17,250 --> 00:07:20,370
you will escort Zhi Shilang
to Chang'an.

117
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:42,580
It looks like you don't like
not really Zhi Shilang.

118
00:07:43,750 --> 00:07:45,620
I don't have to like him.

119
00:07:45,910 --> 00:07:49,660
Chang'an is not next door,
the journey is going to be long.

120
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,120
You're going to get to know him.

121
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,830
It's not such a good idea to do
escorted by a wanted criminal.

122
00:07:57,950 --> 00:07:58,790
Or,

123
00:07:59,330 --> 00:08:00,370
he is also sought after.

124
00:08:00,870 --> 00:08:02,000
So he has to hide.

125
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,830
This is all complicated.
It's a long story.

126
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:08,910
So don't say anything.

127
00:08:09,450 --> 00:08:13,620
Dao Ma, it's the last
service that I ask of you.

128
00:08:15,540 --> 00:08:18,910
So, after this mission,
we will be even.

129
00:08:19,410 --> 00:08:23,250
In this world, to be of service
is commonplace.

130
00:08:23,580 --> 00:08:25,910
No need to count.

131
00:08:26,450 --> 00:08:29,040
Uncounted services
end up killing.

132
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,910
I agree to escort him.
We will leave at dawn.

133
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:41,910
Come on Xiao Qi.

134
00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:43,540
Yes.

135
00:08:43,790 --> 00:08:44,910
Hold on.

136
00:08:48,910 --> 00:08:49,700
Dao Ma,

137
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,200
IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS

138
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,290
Money for the road,

139
00:08:52,540 --> 00:08:55,870
as well as official documents
identification.

140
00:08:56,620 --> 00:08:59,250
No need, we don't pass
by the main road.

141
00:09:01,870 --> 00:09:03,120
Are there two more?

142
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,250
What a coincidence,

143
00:09:05,410 --> 00:09:07,250
ANI

144
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:08,080
Dao Ma, of the elite cavalry,
let's go together.

145
00:09:10,370 --> 00:09:13,540
Mo...
You like to make things difficult for me.

146
00:09:15,950 --> 00:09:19,620
It's time for Ayuya
to discover the world.

147
00:09:20,370 --> 00:09:21,620
Do it for me.

148
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,450
Take care of the rest,
I can protect Ayuya.

149
00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:26,830
Don't talk like that, Ani.

150
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,250
Yes, sorry, Ayuya...

151
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:33,450
Xiaoqi,
It's time to go.

152
00:09:34,830 --> 00:09:35,700
Dao Ma,

153
00:09:35,870 --> 00:09:38,910
this mission could be dangerous,
just like this market.

154
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,200
Why not leave it
somewhere safe?

155
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:47,910
He will be safest by my side.
Right, Xiao Qi?

156
00:09:49,410 --> 00:09:51,910
Old Mo,
I will write to you to reassure you.

157
00:09:52,830 --> 00:09:54,790
And I will pray for you.

158
00:09:56,330 --> 00:09:59,580
Dad, take care of yourself
during my absence.

159
00:09:59,750 --> 00:10:00,910
I'll be back soon.

160
00:10:01,660 --> 00:10:04,450
Don't worry about me and go.

161
00:10:05,950 --> 00:10:06,450
On the way!

162
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,160
Dao Ma,

163
00:10:12,450 --> 00:10:15,870
the future of my family
is in your hands.

164
00:10:16,660 --> 00:10:20,080
May the light guide you.

165
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,700
What makes you so happy,
Xiaoqi?

166
00:10:34,250 --> 00:10:37,200
Chang'an is my home,
so I'm going to my house!

167
00:10:37,370 --> 00:10:40,830
- Right, Dao Ma?
- It's true, Chang'an is your home.

168
00:10:41,620 --> 00:10:44,250
And you, why are you going to Chang'an?

169
00:10:47,450 --> 00:10:49,080
It's better that you don't know anything.

170
00:10:49,370 --> 00:10:51,950
So many mysteries.
What is there to hide?

171
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:53,540
Well, okay.

172
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,540
You would have found out eventually.

173
00:10:56,580 --> 00:10:58,080
I can tell you.

174
00:10:58,750 --> 00:11:01,410
Zhi Shilang's goal in Chang'an,

175
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:03,040
it is to overthrow power.

176
00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:07,870
Your majesty!

177
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,330
Your majesty!

178
00:11:08,290 --> 00:11:10,040
HE RUOBI
SUPREME PILLAR OF THE STATE, DUKE OF SONG

179
00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:13,040
For construction
of the Capital of the East and the canal,

180
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,160
a million men were recruited.

181
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:19,870
If we send some to patrol the North
and at the construction site of the Great Wall,

182
00:11:20,450 --> 00:11:22,500
we will exhaust
the entire workforce of the country.

183
00:11:22,660 --> 00:11:23,450
Your Majesty,

184
00:11:23,910 --> 00:11:26,700
expeditions and fortifications

185
00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:28,750
will only upset the people.

186
00:11:26,910 --> 00:11:28,750
GAO JIONG
MINISTER OF RITES AND CEREMONIES

187
00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:33,330
We two have been in service
of Emperor Wen of the Sui.

188
00:11:33,540 --> 00:11:36,660
And now we see you
waste the nation's fortune.

189
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,040
Your majesty, if you continue
thus, the State is heading towards its ruin.

190
00:11:41,790 --> 00:11:45,080
Your majesty,
please exercise caution.

191
00:11:50,660 --> 00:11:52,410
PEI SHIJU
MINISTER OF YELLOW DOORS

192
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,370
Assistant Pei,

193
00:12:00,580 --> 00:12:02,160
EMPEROR YANG OF THE SUI
GUANG YANG

194
00:12:03,950 --> 00:12:05,450
are you also here

195
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,950
to give advice?

196
00:12:25,540 --> 00:12:26,620
Assistant Pei,

197
00:12:27,870 --> 00:12:29,250
do you also think

198
00:12:29,410 --> 00:12:33,500
that I shouldn't do
build the Great Wall in the North?

199
00:12:34,540 --> 00:12:37,330
I'm here to do
my report to Your Majesty.

200
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:39,450
I heard in Zhangye that a traitor,

201
00:12:40,250 --> 00:12:44,080
that we thought disappeared, has resurfaced
in the western regions.

202
00:12:44,580 --> 00:12:45,870
Assistant Pei,

203
00:12:47,290 --> 00:12:49,250
assign you to manage Zhangye,

204
00:12:49,790 --> 00:12:53,450
was not in the goal
to hear this useless information.

205
00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:55,200
Your Majesty,

206
00:12:55,620 --> 00:12:58,950
this traitor is the one
at the head of the Huayan Group.

207
00:12:59,870 --> 00:13:01,500
Zhi Shilang.

208
00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:06,700
Have him executed.

209
00:13:07,540 --> 00:13:11,750
But the western regions are still
in the hands of Tujue and Tuyuhun.

210
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,410
He's not that easy
to kill people there.

211
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,790
So append them.

212
00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:22,080
Can you do this?

213
00:13:23,290 --> 00:13:24,580
Your Majesty,

214
00:13:25,370 --> 00:13:27,540
I will never disappoint you.

215
00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:31,000
Perfect.

216
00:13:32,410 --> 00:13:36,660
Now you are named
Assistant Minister of Yellow Doors

217
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,000
fully responsible for the four
barbaric regions of the West.

218
00:13:40,950 --> 00:13:42,950
Next time you come back

219
00:13:43,870 --> 00:13:45,200
with the head of Zhi Shilang

220
00:13:45,950 --> 00:13:48,290
as a present for me.

221
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,370
IN THE YEAR 1 OF THE DAYS ERA,
EMPEROR YANG ORDERED
THE CONSTRUCTION OF LUOYANG

222
00:14:01,450 --> 00:14:05,450
THE WORLD IS CONSTANTLY ACTIVE:
EVERYONE RUNS FOR THEIR PROFIT.

223
00:14:05,620 --> 00:14:09,620
THE WORLD HURRYS UP AND GOES AWAY:
EVERYONE PARTIES FOR THEIR OWN GAIN.
