Great King, let me present this treasure sword to you

Good. Let me take a look, what kind of treasure this is

How bold you are!! This is MY treasure sword!

Where did you get it from? Speak!

Replying to my Great King,

this sword was given by the Song Emperor

to Prince Qi as a present.

This is a precious sword, I would not dare conceal it, hence presenting it to the King

Who?

The Emperor of Song?

Where did the Song Emperor get this precious sword?

Speak!

That...

All of you, retreat!

Speak!

Replying to the King,

Prince Qi did a secret investigation

The Yeli family is proud

long had the idea of revolting.

This sword is from Yeli Yu Qi

to the Song Emperor as a token of their collusion

Great King!

See the good things you guys (Yeli family) have done!

The precious sword I gave to Yeli Yu Qi

He actually gave it to the Song Emperor!

So, this actually happened!

I have only heard of it

Great King, if you wish to know the truth,

I can personally go back to Jiang Zhou

and bring back Prince Qi's message

Father, Yeli Yu Qi has been ambitious

He has been trying to take control of the army to take over Central Plains

I think he probably has ill intentions at heart

Father, we should be suspicious of his intentions

I will go take him down right now!

Hold on!

Let me investigate this further before we act

Yinuo, stay behind

The rest of you, retreat!

Yes

Leave the sword behind

Yinuo,

Send 2

of your trustworthy men immediately and under my authority

to Jiang Zhou, to the Qi's residence

This matter,

no one should know about. Yes, Father.

Especially the Yeli family members

Yes! Go do it immediately

Fox, do you think our plan will work?

Don't worry

Yinuo and Prince Qi has long colluded

Furthermore, we are helping him get rid of his eyesore

He would be grateful

Very soon, the King of West Xia will see

a reply letter from Prince Qi, which Yinuo has long prepared in advance

This sly king of the West Xia, he never would have thought

it was his own son.

During this time, we have to be even more cautious

Act according to circumstances

Seizing whatever opportunity that comes to leave this place

Understand!

Father,

this is a reply from Prince Qi, in his own handwriting

Seeing this letter is like seeing me in person

The matter you mentioned in your letter to me

I have investigated

Yeli Yu Qi is proud,

and he does have the heart to revolt against you.

After taking down Bai Ying Zhai, he did indeed

have some secret correspondences with Song, with intention to get support from Great Song

to assist him in being the lord of West Xia.

Great King, please be more cautious

I suggest that you take out the roots of the problem

in order not to have any problems later.

Father, what happened? Secretly send my order for Yeli Yu Qi to come back to court

Just say that I

have some urgent matters to discuss with him.

Yes, Father

Great King

What is with this?

This is the precious sword you have given me

Of course I know it is the sword that I have given to you

What I want to ask you is:

How is it that the sword that I have given to you is now back into my hands?

This..

There must be a misunderstanding here somewhere

Misunderstanding?

Did you want to kill me,

then be crowned as the king of West Xia

then pledge your allegiance to Song?

Is this what you have been plotting?

Great King

A few days ago, I left the precious sword in my camp

but someone came to steal it in the middle of the night!

This is the greatest joke!

A great general in the army

sleeping in his own tent, and his sword got stolen

by someone

Who would believe it? Who?

Your lies can only be used on a 3-year old!

That night..

I did consume a lot of wine that night

I was knocked out

Drank wine?

I think you have been smitten by your woman

to the extent that you are blinded!

You feel great about yourself

You want to dominate the world!

Yeli Yu Qi

I have always treated you well

I treat you as my own brother

Why do you want to revolt against me? Great King!

I am loyal to you

I never had any intention to revolt, or to harm you

Great King

Alright

I will let you die contented today

Somebody!

Bring in the witness

My greetings to the King

You tell him

What is it with this sword (the whole matter)

This is the token of the collusion between Great General Yeli Yu Qi and Song

Yeli Yu Qi

What else do you have to say?

Great King!

There is no enmity between Prince Qi and myself

Why did he frame me?

There must be some ulterior motive in here

Great King, please have wisdom

Somebody!

We are here!

Bring Yeli Yu QI

out and behead him!

Great King!

Great King!

Great King!

Great King!

Great King!

I have fought for Great Xia for many years

Today, you want me dead

I will have no regrets

But you will definitely regret

You will definitely regret this!

Great King!

Great King!

You can't let him die,

Great King! Great King! Great King! You must reconsider. Great King!

Great King!

You can't be so muddle-headed!

Great King!

Great King! You can't be so muddle-headed!

Madam, have something to eat.

Madam, you haven't eaten for 2 days

If you go on like this, you will starve yourself.

How do I answer to the King?

Great King

You all retreat

When you see me, why no greetings from you?

Why should I greet someone who killed my husband?

Mo Zhang Black Clouds, I know you hate me

But do you know what evil deeds your husband

has been up to?

My husband was loyal

Not afraid of death, built the empire for you

And he had this kind of outcome

I would really like to know, what are the exact crimes my husband had committed!

Sided with the enemy, betrayed his country!

Isn't this enough?

Sided with the enemy, betrayed his country?

I don't believe!

You don't believe?

See it for yourself

The precious sword I gave him,

he, in turn, gave it to the Song Emperor.

I specifically sent some people to Song

through the Qi residence,

investigated this matter.

What else do you have to say?

Just based on this one letter,

you killed my husband!

Great King, you don't believe your own relative

You believed a prince from the enemy state?

How dare you, Mo Zhang Black Clouds!

How dare you be disrespectful to me?

You think I wanted to kill him?

Yeli Yu Qi went through thick and thin with me

fought the North and South battles, built this empire

I treated him as my own brother

But he?

What did he do to me?

He wanted to revolt against me!

He wanted to topple me!

Do you understand?

If it was you, what would you do?

But he is my most beloved husband

Now that he is gone,

I don't want to live either!

Black Clouds!

Black Clouds!

Black Clouds!

Black Clouds!

Black Clouds!

Black Clouds! Black Clouds!

Cry! Cry! Return my husband to me!

I can't return your husband to you

But as long as you are willing,

I can return a man to you

And give you the most glorious grace and pampering

No one can replace the place of Yeli Yu Qi

in my heart

Nobody! Black Clouds!

In this world, the man worthy of your love

is not just Yeli Yu Qi!

No, I just love him alone

Even if that man was me,

a real King

are you willing to have it?

Black Clouds,

I have fallen in love with you since long ago

So, you'd find an excuse to kill my husband?

You are speaking complete nonsense!

In West Xia, who does not know

which general I cherish the most? It was your husband, Yeli Yu Qi!

Why should I want to kill him?

He betrayed me.

He betrayed me!

This has nothing to do with me falling in love with you.

Then, fine. Great King, please leave.

Why?

Because between us,

there is Yeli Yu Qi's corpse. But he is dead,

do you know? He is dead!! He is dead,

but his body is not even cold yet!

If Yeli Yu Qi knows from the afterworld,

he wouldn't want

to see you suffer thus, right?

Yes,

he loves me so deeply.

I am sure he wishes for you

to be happy everyday, right?

Great King,

Please let me calm down. If..

you are willing to be my woman,

I can make you the

most distinguished woman in West Xia!

Alright?

So,

this is the price for losing my husband?

Say whatever you want

Alright. I promise you

But, you must promise me something. What is it?

I want to mourn for my husband for 3 years

So, please come to me 3 years later.

I have loved you for many years. Don't even mention 3 years,

even 3 days, or 3 hours, I can no longer wait!

(reciting a poetry)

Unforgettable taste of wine and flora

The beauty of the place is emphasised in drunkenness

Walking hand in hand

Hate your eyebrows, walking hand in hand?

Miss Xian-er

These words that go round and round, what does it mean?

The author of this poetry

is speaking with a sigh, lamenting that life is short

hoping to have less fame and wealth

to have more smile and laughter

to have less troubles about the world

to have more time for wine and enjoyment of flora and fauna

You Song have enough food and clothings

Still, there is so much things to trouble you?

In West Xia, as long as there is food and drink,

everybody will be happy

Everyday, watching sunrise, sleep when you are tired at night

There is not so much trouble

This is also what the author of this poetry

is hoping to achieve in life.

Come sunrise, you work

Come sunset, you rest

Everyday, being with the person you like

Even if

it means plain meals (simple life), it is filled with happiness and joy.

Song people are really interesting. The ladies there

all know how to write poetries?

Poetry, to us Songs,

is as common as folk songs to the West Xia

No matter man or woman, they

enjoy songs and poetry

Then, in that case,

does General Ye enjoy poetry like you?

Xian-er

is but a lowly citizen and songstress

Someone as high and mighty as General Ye

her life

probably isn't something someone like me can understand

Is there any legendary saying about General Ye amongst the people?

For example,

what kinds of food she normally enjoys, what colours does she like

Also, what is her zodiac sign?

Xian-er. Xian-er.

Ying Chuan? Why are you here?

Xian-er,

look at these clothes

Do you like them?

Big brother,

I was chatting with Sister Xian-er

you came in and disturbed us

What kind of private conversation are you having?

Oh! Don't tell me our little sister Ying Chuan

has her eyes set on some handsome

cowboy?

Big brother!

Xian-er,

These clothes are really pretty

These clothes

are suitable for the prettiest woman in West Xia

Try them on

Somebody!

Bring Miss Xian-er to try on these clothes

Xian-er

Zhu-ya greets Her Highness the Queen

The rest of you retreat

What is it you want to tell me?

Queen, Madam Mo Zhang Black Clouds and the Great King

have gone out on horses

Where did they go?

The King and Madam did not say. I dare not ask

But by the looks of it, they headed towards the desert

Mo Zhang Black Clouds

My brother's body is not even cold yet,

she has gone out privately with my King?

You did well. Make sure you keep a close eye

Report to me should anything happens

Thank you, my Queen

Xian-er

you are too pretty!

Sister Xian-er, you have worn these clothes,

it means you are accepting his engagement dowry?

Princess, dont poke fun at me

Xian-er, don't listen to my little sister's nonsense. West Xia has no such rules

Xian-er wearing our Western Xia's clothing

will only make it more comfortable when you move around

Sister Xian-er

I still feel that you look better in the

Song clothing

When you walk, there's that floating feel and tall and upright

Princess, since you like Song so much,

why not take the opportunity to go to Song

with the messengers from Prince Qi's residence?

This way, you can enjoy the scenery as well as

understand the Song culture.

Dont mention it

Those messengers only know how to make merry

My father especially likes to chat with them

A few days ago,

those messengers presented a precious sword to my father

saying that that is the sword the Emperor gave to Prince Qi

My father immediately recognised that it was my uncle's precious sword

Those messengers insisted that it was a token of collusion between my uncle and the Song emperor

He was going to revolt

So, my father used the blade.. Ying Chuan!

My mother found out about this.. (her thoughts:) There is such a thing..

Prince Qi, in order to avoid suspicion,

employed mostly the deaf and mute

These messengers know to use the method of

causing internal conflict within West Xia

Strange

Who are they exactly?

What are you saying? Big brother!

You only listen to Father

Was I wrong? Uncle did not revolt!

You!

Come back!

It's true

Uncle secretly colluded with the Song emperor

My father had no choice

Xian-er

I didnt purposely hide this from you

I was afraid that you might be afraid and worried

These people, who are they exactly?

Father and Prince Qi

are secretly allies after all

They are a collaboration of two fierce tigers

They both hold on to their own power

I do not want you to be embroiled into these politics

I am just

a lowly status songstress from the Qi Residence

I am not worthy of you doing so much for me

You know, the first day I met you

I already knew

I am fated to be with you in this life

As long as you are happy and joyful,

I am contented.

Ha-er Dun

Xian-er,

you have been to West Xia for some time now and I have yet to give you a title

I feel bad about it

As long as we are together

title or not, it is not important to me

Xian-er,

I wanted to make something clear to you

A few days ago,

I spoke to my Queen mother about our wedding

She said that right now, both sides are at odds against each other

After all, you are a Song,

Looks like, right now,

it would be hard to organise a grand wedding

We have to wait a little more

But my mother has agreed,

to let us have an engagement ceremony

Look! These beautiful clothes on you are

a gift from my mother

Xian-er,

I am not sure

what is your opinion about this?

Of course, i want to be with you as soon as possible!

Everything..

I will listen to what you say.

So, that means

you are going to be my bride?

Just that

my life has been unfortunate

Thankfully, Prince Qi saved me

Prince QI is like a matchmaker to us

Since the messengers are about to return to Song,

I hope to meet with them,

and send some messages to Prince Qi,

so that I am worthy of his concern for me

Xian-er, you are really a grateful person, knows to show gratitude. Practices etiquette, knows to compromise.

You really are Heaven's gift to me as a virtuous partner

Okay,

we will do as you say.

Tomorrow, I shall let them meet with you

Ah Zhao

Do you think you will bear me a little little Zhao (baby girl) this time?

I don't know

Then do you think you will bear me a little little Jin (baby boy)?

I don't know

What crap!

Then what do you know? I have been diligently scattering seeds (LOL!) everyday

How come you don't germinate?

Maybe there is not enough fertilisers?

No, it can't be!

You have gradually recovered

It can't be because of fertilisers

Yu Jin,

I have a plan

What plan?

From today, I plan to

rejuvenate

and teach you martial arts.

Okay, I support you.

Ying Chuan

Do you really believe

that your uncle betrayed our country?

Uncle is loyal to West Xia

Father killed uncle

I am sure there is some misunderstanding here

Misunderstanding?

Not only some misunderstanding,

there is a MEGA misunderstanding in here!

Your father is muddle-headed!

He did not investigate properly

and killed your uncle.

Who said I did not investigate properly?

Huh?

It is because I have investigated properly, and that's why I had to kill him!

Great King!

Why didn't you give him more time to explain? Explain?

Explain what?

I don't want to continue to explain this matter to you! I am tired.

For the last time, I am telling you

your blood brother colluded with the Song emperor, wanted to lord over this country

I had to protect my throne and my kin,

that's why I had to kill him!

Was I wrong?

Was I?

Ying Chuan

You do not need to be entangled in this matter

You leave first

Father, why did you have to kill uncle?

He was Mother's blood brother, my blood uncle!

Ying Chuan, come back!

After you killed my brother,

where did you go to enjoy myself?

Where I am going

do I need to report to you first?
