Episode 49

Samarkhand, Khoresm

General Bogurchi

Everyone, attack!

Kill...

Kill!

[ Jin Prince Zhao ]

General Subotai

Uncle.

Go.

Brother.

Retreat!

Retreat!

Retreat!

[ Jin Prince Zhao ]

What happened?

See that arrow?

- It's Wanyan Honglie's arrow. - He allied with Mohammad.

He is now in Samarkhand. Tell me.

When can we breach this city?

Samarkhand is the new capital of Khoresm.

The city is built near mountains.

There are no trees on the mountains.

- It is difficult to attack. - Mohammad has 100,000 soldiers.

He is hiding inside the city, and refuses to fight us.

Today, Bogurchi tried to attack the city head-on, but was killed by Wanyan Honglie's arrow.

They are prepared for a long siege.

The longer the battle takes, the more disadvantageous it is for us.

This idea

must have come from Wanyan Honglie.

He's an old fox.

He killed Guo Jing's dad, and now Bogurchi.

He's the Mongols' biggest foe.

Dad, Bogurchi has served us in battle for many years. Don't let his sacrifice be in vain.

Whoever can break through the city and capture that villain,

and get revenge for my general,

I will reward him with all the treasures and citizens of the captured city.

Jing'er, remember that battle with Sangkun, and what happened the night before?

Of course.

I asked you then who'd win.

If I ask that now, how will you answer.

Khan, you'll win.

Well said.

- But this time, it's not for me to decide. - Then who decides?

Heaven.

- Heaven? - Mm.

This year's winter is longer than usual.

If the weather doesn't warm up soon,

it won't be easy for us.

Khan, why don't we withdraw our troops?

Even if we withdraw, our army would still be in a dangerous position, open to attacks by our enemies.

- We might lose many soldiers. - Then, what if we stay?

Samarkhand has strong city walls.

And our food supplies are dwindling.

Our troops are also losing morale.

If the battle drags on like this, we might lose our entire army.

I have fought many battles,

but I have never faced such difficulties.

Is this... is this really Heaven's plan to ruin me?

Rong'er, where are you? If only you were here.

You can help me think of an idea to defeat the enemy.

- General, it's time. - What? - But we can't find Lu You Jiao. - He ran off?

Sir.

Sir.

Sir. Please follow me to the base of the mountain, I've something to report.

Bald Wooden Peak

Elder Lu.

You say Chief Huang waits above?

Correct.

Such a steep cliff, how did she ascend?

Are you lying to me?

Sir, I don't dare to lie.

Here.

'Seven looms, spring silkworms spinning'

'Not easy to weave into cloth'

'Use scissors cautiously'

'or phoenixes will be separated'

'Nine looms, pair of flowers, pair of leaves'

'A shallow love parts'

'Two hearts bound by a silk thread'

- This is Rong'er's writing. - See? I'm not lying.

OK, though this cliff is steep, for the sake of Rong'er, I'll climb up.

Sir, wait. Men!

I'll help you in your climb.

Rong'er.

Rong'er.

Rong'er.

Rong'er.

- Jing. - Rong'er.

I missed you so much.

If I hadn't seen you being sad and pining for me, I wouldn't have come to meet you.

Rong'er, you were in my army camp all along. Why not come to see me?

How dare you ask me this?

Old Venom detained me, while you happily went back to Mongolia

to be the Princess Consort. I'd rather you never find out where I am.

Jing, see how beautiful this place is - white crystal snowflakes.

Rong'er.

Still mad at me?

On the Isle, you were fierce to me.

- Do you think I'd not be angry? - Then I'll kowtow 100 times to apologise.

Never mind.

Jing, stand.

Rong'er.

I once thought that in your heart, only your Big Master matters.

You didn't let me explain. Of course I was angry.

But afterward I heard from Elder Lu that you were worried about me, and you missed me.

For me, you confronted Ouyang Feng.

I knew then that you do care about me.

Rong'er, you're always in my heart.

But I was stupid and got tricked.

Big Master also felt very guilty.

He even told me to find you and bring you back to my side, or he'd kill me.

So you came for me because your Big Master told you to.

No, no. I really wanted to look for you.

OK. I was joking.

Look at you, so anxious.

Oh yes. I heard that you and Ouyang Feng went to Cloud Manor.

How'd you escape?

I lied to Ouyang Feng - I told him that after I get to Cloud Manor, I would recite the 9-Yin translations to him.

As you know, Cloud Manor was designed based on the Bagua formation devised by my Dad.

So, I hid myself in the formation and Ouyang Feng could not find me.

Old Venom was furious and burned Cloud Manor down.

Luckily Chief Lu and his son were not around.

After that, I travelled to Mongolia.

He was still pursuing me. But he could not find me.

Jing, it's so cold.

Let's descend.

Let us return here tomorrow night.

I'll explain the true meaning of the 9-Yin translations to you.

Huh?

- Let's go. - OK.

Tomorrow night here, the 9-Yin translations.

Know what? Ouyang Feng was there just now.

What? He's here? How'd I not know?

He hid behind a mountain rock. I could see his shadow.

But just now, you said you wanted to explain 9-Yin translations to me.

- Did you say that in order to trick him? - Right. I'll teach him a lesson this time.

Jing, I have explained half of it. Can you remember it?

I have memorised it.

9-Yin is marvellous.

I've captured these two brats several times, but they always refused to tell me the details.

It is better if I continue to eavesdrop on them.

Rong'er, it's Khan's summons. I must go.

It is inconvenient to keep ascending and descending this mountain.

Why not talk at my place?

Old Venom is looking for me. He's cunning.

- Here's the safest place. - Then wait here for me. I'll return in an hour. Tonight, we'll go through the entire 9-Yin translations.

OK, you go now, I'll wait here for you. Be back soon.

Soon I will obtain the entire 9-Yin Manual.

No matter how powerful Old Venom is, he still cannot leap all the way to the mountain peak.

He must have used our sheep leg ladder.

So I've told Elder Lu to prepare a lot of oil.

This rope, which is soaked with oil, is coiled around every sheep leg.

- Old Venom cannot escape. - This oil was seized by the Mongols from the Khoresm citizens.

I did not expect it to be so useful.

Chief Huang is so smart.

Why isn't Jing back? I hope there are no ghosts here.

Let me go down first, I'll come back here later together with Jing.

I'd better wait here patiently.

If that lass discovers me, that would be terrible.

Jing.

This time, you can avenge your Masters.

Rong'er.

I promised Ouyang Feng not to harm him.

I must honour my promise.

OK, let's leave him here for 3 days and 3 nights.

Let him suffer. We'll save him later.

- Can this be done? - OK. This is good.

"This solid is void".

"Solid is an emptiness".

Guo Jing, Huang Rong.

You dare to trick me!

Old Venom has been pursuing me for months. This time I get to teach him a lesson.

Rong'er, all this while, you have no idea how worried I am about you.

It's good for you to worry - you only know how good I am after you left me.

Jing, what is it?

Rong'er.

After we parted, I found out that Ouyang Feng had detained you. I was worried about your safety.

When I arrived in Mongolia, I said this to Hua Zheng-

If something happened to you, I won't marry her.

But if...

If I'm alive, you will marry her.

In I had known about this, then why would I have agreed to meet you?

It'd be better if you can never find me.

Rong'er.

You have no idea how happy I am to see you again. In this lifetime, I do not want to be apart from you again.

What's your plan?

Right now, the Khan's greatest wish is to conquer Samarkhand and capture Wanyan Honglie alive.

If I can help him to do that, I'll request for the Khan to cancel my betrothal promise to Hua Zheng.

Jing.

I'm contented to know that you feel this way.

SAMARKHAND, 3 days later

Sir, have you found a plan to breach the city defenses?

- More soldiers have fallen ill. - What?

The weather is cold. They can't withstand the cold.

Morale is low. Many soldiers wish to go home,

they're afraid of freezing to death.

- How much food is left? - Enough for 3 days.

The Mongols have not attacked for a month.

They must be running out of food.

Soon, we would be able to destroy them without sacrificing any of our soldiers.

Rong'er, return to China with Elder Lu. The situation is chaotic here.

It is not safe for you.

- I worry for you. - I won't go.

I said I'd help you in your revenge.

Wanyan Honglie is in the city. Yet I can do nothing.

I searched Wumu for tactics on how to breach city defenses.

But Sarmarkhand is different from the Jin.

Those military tactics in the Wumu aren't useful in this case.

Jing, look.

Ouyang Feng.

We had wanted to save him. But he actually flew down on his own.

How'd he get the 'wings'?

How'd he do it?

I got an idea.

Jing, be thankful to Old Venom.

Thank him?

He has taught us a tactic to breach the city defenses.

Issue my orders. Cut up all the tents, and assemble them as wing gliders.

Use the wooden poles to support the wing gliders.

Within an hour, make 10,000 pairs of wing gliders.

Report to the Khan: please tell the Khan to meet us with his main army at the South Gate.

Heaven has given the Mongol army one last chance.

If Guo Jing's plan fails,

all my achievements would be in vain.

Soldiers!

Be ready, follow me.

- Fly to Samarkhand. - Yes!

1, 2, 3.

How can they fly? They're entering the city!

Beware!

- Emperor, let's go back to the Palace. - OK, to the Palace, the Palace.

- Emperor. - What happened?

6th Prince, didn't you say that all we had to do was to defend the city walls?

I could not have known that they would fly into the city.

But don't worry, I have sent additional soldiers to defend the city walls. The Mongol army won't be able to breach the walls.

Mongol warriors! Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

Report.

Emperor, disaster. The Mongols have entered the city.

Damn Mongols.

Emperor, don't panic.

They are attacking because they are desperate. This means they have exhausted all their strength.

We have 100,000 well-equipped soldiers. They cannot defeat us.

Mongol troops are famous for being brave and fierce in battle.

My troops can't be compared to them.

- Is the East Gate safe? - East Gate wasn't attacked.

OK. 6th Prince, I'm leaving the city. You'll bring the soldiers to guard my rear.

- Let's do it. - Emperor. Emperor.

Stop.

Stop. Stop. This is a military order!

Stop.

- Find Wanyan Honglie. Don't let him flee. - Spread out and look for him.

Chief, is that Wanyan Honglie?

- Right, it is. Get him. - No need.

Let him go.

Why don't I see Wanyan Honglie? Did he flee?

- Keep looking. Find him. - Yes. Come on.

Jing.

- Rong'er. - I have a gift for you. You'll love it. - Huh?

Come along. Go.

Wanyan Honglie.

Wanyan Honglie, you are at death's door. What do you have to say?

Guo Jing, you have guts.

But I must remind you.

Temujin is very ambitious.

If you continue to serve him, someday you'll regret it.

You still dare to talk nonsense.

- Drag him away. - Yes. At your command.

Go. Move.

Go.

- Jing, why didn't you kill him yourself? - People like him...

I would like to tear them apart.

But, Rong'er.

I'm now a Mongol General. I must send him to the Khan.

Rong'er, how'd you find him?

I saw some Jin troops fleeing towards the West gate.

Their leader was wearing gold robes.

But I thought - Wanyan Honglie is cunning. After being defeated,

he would not walk around the city in his gold robes.

So I thought he might flee towards the East gate instead.

So I and Elder Lu stood guard at the East gate and caught him.

Rong'er. You helped catch the foe who killed my dad.

- I don't know what to say. - Jing, your foe is my foe.

Your success will earn the Khan's favour and he will reward you well.

I think, whatever reward you ask for,

he will agree.

I will send Wanyan Honglie to the Khan, and get him to break off my engagement with Hua Zheng.

He will definitely agree. Go back and wait for me.

Congratulations, Father Khan, for taking Samarkhand.

It is indeed a happy occasion, but

it's a pity Mohammad escaped.

Father, relax. Muqali had taken troops to chase after him.

What about Wanyan Honglie? Did you find him?

Great Khan.

Jing'er.

Jing'er.

I was right about you. You have made a great contribution, the Mongols are proud of you.

- You are too kind, Khan. - Guo Jing, don't be modest.

- If not for your tactics, we would not have known how to attack the city - Yes!

I will reward you well.

- Has Wanyan Honglie been captured? - Yes! He is outside.

Good.

Hurrah!

Wanyan Honglie, we meet again.

Years ago, when you came to Mongolia, you were so arrogant. Did you foresee that you would end up like this today?

Yes I have.

I hate the fact that in the past,

when Jin was strong

Why didn't we wipe out the Mongols? Then the Mongols would not be such a big threat to us today.

- Father, kill him. - Kill him!

Kill him.

In the past, you sowed discord between me and my brothers.

And now, you even killed one of my favourite generals.

Today, you will pay for insulting the Mongols.

Today I'll take your head.

Kill him.

Kill him.

Wanyan Honglie. I have pursued you for a long time.

Today in Samarkhand, I finally caught you.

I've been waiting for revenge for 19 years. Today, my wait is over.

My dad, Uncle Yang and the innocent people you killed

will all be able to rest in peace today.

To the victor goes all the spoils.

Guo Jing.

Today I fell into your hands.

I have nothing to say.

Prepare to execute.

- Why are you laughing? - I am lauging at you.

Actually you're like me.

Everything you have done and sacrificed for, is for the sake of ruling this world.

But do you know what this world is all about?

- Why wait. Quickly execute him. - Let him talk first.

Today, I finally understand.

This world that we want to rule

is actually a fierce beast.

You and I, and all those conquerors who want to rule the world, are the same.

We eventually get eaten by that beast.

Today I get eaten first,

but you will soon follow in my footsteps.

I tell you.

Even if the world is a fierce beast,

I, Temujin, will subdue it.

You're a capable person, Genghis Khan.

Well said.

I initially have the same idea as you. I, Wanyan Honglie,

thought that I can rule the world.

But eventually, what do I get?

My wife has left me.

Even my only son is dead.

Even if I can rule the world, what's the use.

Temujin, if you want the world,

you must face this loneliness. If you lose all your family and your supporters,

then what's the point?

Sooner or later, you'll feel lonely.

Xiruo.

I'll accompany you.

Anda.

Finally, your dad is avenged today.

Dad.

I have avenged you.

Guo Jing, as I said, if you breach the city defenses and capture Wanyan Honglie,

I'll reward you with the city's citizens and treasures.

Send troops to collect your reward.

My mom and I are very grateful for your benevolence.

I have no need for such reward.

OK. Whatever you want, tell me. I promise to fulfil it.

You mean it?

A true man always keeps his word. Say what you want.

Guo Jing begs Khan to end...

What's that commotion?

He hu...

No!

Don't kill them. Stop.

Stop. Why kill innocents?

Stop!

You all quickly stop.

- Why kill innocents? - Guo Jing.

- Guo Jing. - Stop.

Khan.

- Why'd you all stop! Kill all, spare none. - Kill!

Stop! Stop! Stop it all.

Stop it all.

Khan.

- Please spare them. - Guo Jing.

What did you say?

Spare them? Why?

Earlier, you mentioned that you wanted to reward me with the citizens and treasures of this city.

- So, why kill the innocent people? - But you rejected the reward.

Didn't you promise me you'll grant what I ask, right?

I beg you, release the people.

- What did you say? - Guo Jing, are you mad?

True, Anda. They're nothing to you. Why are you asking for mercy for them?

Guo Jing, I will ignore what you just said.

I'll give you a more chance. What kind of reward do you want?

Khan, a true hero must have a heart as vast as the Mongol steppes.

- But how can you massacre unarmed innocents? - How dare you!

You dare offend Genghis Khan.

No insolence intended.

Please, Khan, spare the people.

Great Khan.

You, oh my!

- We can go... - All go!

- Mom. - Madam.

Madam, you two are safe. You can leave.

Mom...

To avenge my dad, I helped conquer Samarkhand.

After killing Wanyan Honglie,

The Khan now wants to rule the world.

And kill even more people.

But the commoners have done nothing wrong.

In an instant, their homes were destroyed,

their family members killed.

Why must they suffer like this?

I may have avenged my father, but in doing so, I caused so many people to suffer.

Is all these right or wrong?
