[ Sword Snow Stride ]

[ Episode 20 ]

This jar is ready.

[ Cuihua, the bodyguard of the Wu family ]

Here.

It's good.

Cuiua. Why does the pickled cabbage you make taste so good?

It's just that

it's always made of cabbage.

Why don't we try something else next time?

I can only make pickled cabbage.

That's good enough.

You're all about eating.

Didn't you say you wanted to teach Xu Fengnian a lesson?

That elderly man by his side is too strong.

I'm afraid I'm no match for him.

Going there once scared the crap out of you?

Anyway, someone will figure out a way.

What's the hurry?

Who are you?

Draw your sword.

Why didn't you draw your sword?

Haven't you heard of the saying

that if you have the willpower,

even plants, mud, or stones

can be used as swords?

A load of crap!

What a waste.

Swords are swords.

Plants are plants.

Only the ignorant will get confused.

Draw your sword!

No rush.

The sword is the most threatening before it is out of its sheath.

So this girl is your bodyguard?

Not just that.

She makes good pickled cabbage too.

The Wu family is truly blessed

to have two talented swordsmen in this generation.

Do you still want to fight?

Not anymore.

This fight seems a little ridiculous, don't you think?

These two brats from the Wu family are pretty good.

They're qualified to undertake the task.

It's you.

Here comes your chance again.

Tomorrow afternoon, Xu Fengnian will show up at the wetlands outside the city.

When the time comes, this man will team up with you.

He is?

I'm Wang Mingyin.

Wang Mingyin, ranked 11th among the world's martial art experts.

[ The World's 11th Best, Wang Ming Yin ]

Even Wang Mingyin is in Xiangfan City?

Yes. Someone sent the note here. A waiter passed it to me.

Who sent it?

The waiter said it was a woman. A cheerful-looking one.

She left without leaving her name.

Do you know who she is?

I couldn't think of any.

Who's this Wang Mingyin?

In the world's martial art expert rankings,

this one ranks eleventh all year round.
[ Wang Ming Yin is in Xiangfan ]

I thought the ranking is usually up to ten.

Well, he happens to be the 11th one.

If that's the case, isn't that depressing?

This is a big wide world. To be able to come in 11th place

makes him one of the tops in his field.

What does it have to do with you then?

I bet he's here to kill me.

Why?

Because I have a grudge against the Xu family.

How deep is it?

Did you bring it?

Lord Jing'an asked me to return this to its rightful owner.

Consider it a sign of good faith.

This box contains the eyes of my brother, Wang Mingyang.

Wang Mingyang?

That name sounds familiar to me.

He was the famous general of Chu back then.

That's right.

Wang Mingyang, the First Defender of the City.

The First Defender of the City.

Indeed, a well-deserved title.

Back then, Xu Xiao led 100,000 soldiers to besiege Xiangfan City.

Wang Mingyang defended Xiangfan for three years before it was captured.

I've heard of this before.

After the city was captured, Wang Mingyang died.

It marked the decline of the Western Chu ever since.

So now, Wang Mingyin wants to kill you to avenge his brother?

Personal grudges are set aside during war.

In war, life and death, it's all destined.

But after the battle,

I once said that the Xu family members

are not allowed to enter Xiangfan again for the rest of their lives.

Since Xu Fengnian is here, he shouldn't think about leaving.

Well, what's with the eyes?

Before he died, Mr. Wang Mingyang dug out his eyes

and said that he wanted to see with his own eyes

where Xiangfan and Chu were headed in the future.

After that battle, his body was destroyed by the fire

and only this pair of eyes remained.

Lord Jing'an has always respected your brother.

Even after taking charge of Qingzhou,

His Highness has been offering incense to honor your brother.

Now that your brother's remains are returned to you,

consider it a load off His Highness's mind.

Even if he didn't return his eyes to me, I'd still kill Xu Fengnian!

Of course.

Xu Fengnian has many martial artists around him and he's protected by the cavalry as well.

I, too, will be joining you in the attack.

With your skills?

I'm not skillful enough.

But I brought my backup too.

Red Armored Generals?

Besides that, Lord Jing'an will mobilize the riders to participate in the siege.

Tomorrow, in the wetlands, Xu Fengnian

will be a dead man.

You still came out for a walk

despite knowing that people are after your life?

We're in a historic city.

How can I not take a look at the place?

Don't worry. Even if they wanted to kill me,

they wouldn't do it today or in the city.

Still, it's better to be careful.

Your Highness.

Wenhua!

[ Knight-errant, Wenhua ]

Xu! Why are you here?

Didn't you see that I was sleeping?

Whose outfit did you steal?

You even stole two swords.

If the owners come looking for them, you'd better not get me involved.

You little brat. Scruffy as ever.

Still haven't made a name for yourself.

Cut the crap.

If you really care, take off your clothes

and exchange them for some wine and meat so that we can have a good meal together.

Get us some wine and meat.

Where did you get her from?

I told you. I'm the son of an established family in Beiliang.

I don't believe you.

Enjoy.

Thank you, my sister-in-law.

Mr. Wen, I'm afraid you've misunderstood.

I'm just a servant.

Well, given your standard,

if you're just a servant, that's just absurd.

If he gives you a hard time, just tell me. I'll teach him a lesson.

Honestly, why are you here in Xiangfan?

A girl strikes my fancy.

Her looks...

Again?

What do you mean "again"?

I'm really into this girl.

Aren't you always?

I'm not having this conversation with you.

Where's Lao Huang? Why isn't he with you?

Lao Huang is gone.

Dead?

Yes.

Lao Huang was a good man.

I don't care about other people.

But Lao Huang, I have to visit his grave.

Where's he buried?

He died in the Eastern Sea.

No grave.

What was he doing so far away?

When I met you two back then,

Lao Huang was always nagging.

I was really annoyed.

Now that he's gone,

I feel kind of lonely.

Indeed.

What's the matter? Look at you.

Even Lao Huang would be ashamed of you.

People come and go.

That's how things work in the martial arts world.

If Lao Huang were still here, I wouldn't get a chance to eat this chicken thigh.

Me either!

- Screw Lao Huang!
- Screw Lao Huang!

- Let's eat his chicken thigh!
- Let's eat his chicken thigh!

If Lao Huang were still around, there'd be no leftovers, not even the chicken's bum!

Drink up.

Remember this. People come...

- and go.
- And go.

That's how things work

- in the martial arts world.
- In the martial arts world.

What's the matter?

There's a good spot over there.

It's not appropriate.

Would you excuse us?

- It's not appropriate.
- There's nothing wrong with it.

Xu.

Xu!

I'm sorry. I was lacking in manners.

Go further. I saw movement.

I saw movement.

Now that Lao Huang is gone, would you like to join me?

Having a nice meal once in a while will do.

We'll get too comfortable if I get used to it.

Besides, if you keep living in the lap of luxury,

you won't focus on practicing swords.

Don't get in my way of mastering peerless swordsmanship.

You're only doing it blindly. There's no swordsmanship or whatsoever.

The leaves over there are wider.

Get me some.

I'm saving them for myself.

Can you not be so stingy?

Pull some for me.

Just make do with it.

I...

How can I make do with this?

What a relief.

It's getting late.

I should get going.

I owe you a meal.

I'll make it up to you next time.

Where are you going?

The border of Beimang.

I'm afraid there'll be chaos there.

You have to be careful.

How did you know?

Are you really the son of an established family in Beiliang?

No kidding.

Whatever your status,

I treat you as my buddy anyway.

I'll say!

Chaos is good.

To practice swords, we need chaos to nurture sword intent.

All right. I'll wait for you to master the peerless swordsmanship soon.

Should I encounter any trouble, I'll have you to cover me.

I owe you a meal, but I have to risk my life for you?

All right. Enough chatting.

Off I go!

There's no telling when we'll meet again.

The martial arts world isn't that big after all.

We'll meet again somehow.

- White is the steamed buns!
- White is the steamed buns!

- But not as white as the lady's hands!
- But not as white as the lady's hands!

- Pointy is the lotus tip!
- Pointy is the lotus tip!

- But not as pointy as the lady's eyebrows!
- But not as pointy as the lady's eyebrows!

I'll get going now!

The martial arts world isn't that big after all.

We'll meet again somehow.

White is the steamed buns!

But not as white as the lady's hands!

Pointy is the lotus tip!

But not as pointy as the lady's eyebrows!

What is that?

A song that we made up.

Your Highness. Did you meet Mr. Wen during your travels?

That's right. He was with me and Lao Huang for a bit.

You seem to have great regard for him.

According to Master Li,

the grooves are to transmit life essence.

The internal seal carving of the Red Armor is extremely complicated.

I couldn't figure it out just yet.

You don't have to remake the Red Armor.

But can you find its vulnerable spot?

From this point of view, there are a few spots

that we can try to attack.

Perhaps, it can delay the action of the Red Armor for a while.

That's great.

Does Your Highness think that the Red Armored General

will show up again tonight?

If they want to kill me, tomorrow will be a good chance to do so.

A wise man foresees and mitigates risks.

Since Your Highness is aware of the impending danger,

it's better to quickly leave Qingzhou

and continue eastward.

I can't escape it.

Since I let Wang Linquan leave Qingzhou,

Lord Jing'an won't let me off the hook that easily.

Your Highness. You're starting to take after His Highness.

I don't want to be anything like him.

Master Wei. If the Red Armored General shows up again tomorrow,

I hope you can do your best to deal with him.

I'll keep checking.

Your Highness.

There's no need to keep watch.

I've told you.

Your mother and the Lin family

have left Qingzhou with Mr. Wang.

They're safe now.

I know.

Why are you still in Xiangfan then?

I'm saying that you don't have to follow me.

- So you want to drive me away?
- No.

No.

Xu Xiao kept you by my side

because he used you and the Lin family
as a bargaining chip.

Now that I've released them,

there's no reason for you to stay.

You can find Mr. Wang.

He'll help your family settle in.

But my mother said that I'm already dead.

I'm no longer part of the Lin family anymore.

But after all, your mother is still alive.

There's no reason for you to stay by my side.

I've tried to kill you,

and I've succumbed to my fate.

Everyone says

that the Xu family is a traitor to the nation.

But in the end, it was you and your father

who gave the Lin family a way out.

I have no idea what's right

or wrong anymore.

And I have no idea of the meaning of the things

that I have done in my life.

But I gave you my word.

I'll use my life to keep you safe.

Even for a loser like me,

I want to be a man of my word.

I'm not going anywhere.

Why are you still here?

Didn't I tell Ning E'mei to take you away?

Why should I leave?

Look.

There's no telling what will happen at the wetlands tomorrow.

Let Ning E'mei
take you back to Mushan Island first.

Yu You Wei and the Feng Battalion are there.

You want to leave me on the island?

Of course not.

I want you to leave Qingzhou first

and meet up with us later on.

What if things don't go well?

If it didn't go well, I'd be dead, I guess.

You will regain your freedom

and enjoy the whole wide world out there.

I'm not leaving.

What's going on?

Do you want to brave the storms with me?

If they have us cornered,

I'll kill you myself.

Xu Feng Nian.

Even if you die,

it has to be at the hands of me.

All right.

That's a good idea.

Enough with the desperate talk.

With me here,

no one is going to die.

How did you get in?

When?

When you two were sounding desperate

and having a love talk.

Old man, are you out of your mind?

I said I wanted to kill him.

Love talk, my foot!

That was some tough talk!

Can I help you with anything, Sir?

Go for a walk with me.

Go for a walk?

Just the two of us?

[Feng's Salt Store, Four Treasures of the Study]

Sir, why are we out here?

Before we left Beiliang,

Xu Xiao asked me for a favor.

If things don't go well,

just say the word,

and I'll take you back to Beiliang.

I'm asking you now.

Do you want to escape?

What about the others?

I have only one arm.

I can only save you alone.

Thank you, Sir.

I don't want to run.

Have you thought it over?

You have only one life.

You only die once.

Well, I'm tough.

Do you still remember
the Immortal Sword Technique?

How could I possibly forget?

I've been secretly practicing it.

But somehow, I still couldn't master it.

What is the fundamental
principle of martial arts?

Strength.

Speed.

Skills.

Also, experience.

That's true in the beginning.

But there's a limit to men's strength.

When the martial artist achieves the first rank,

the power and speed have reached the limit,

the power of heaven and earth

must be integrated into the martial arts.

At that time, one's nature becomes the key.

Your perseverance and thoughts

will dominate the cultivation methods.

So, one's mind changes the cultivation methods?

No.

The cultivation methods

come from one's heart.

Immortal Sword Technique.

What's immortal?

To seek longevity?

Seek the extraordinary?

Eternal life.

That's the nature of immortals.

What is life?

The plants broke through the soil and defied gravity

That's life.

In natural law,
there are victors and the vanquished.

To become immortals,

one needs to preserve life

and cut off all decay and death.

Back then,

when I invented the "Immortal Sword Technique",

I was so full of pride.

Look at the mediocre majority.

They talked about defying God's will.

They wanted to defy God's will

and become immortals.

I, Li Chun Gang, wouldn't associate myself

with this bunch of losers.

The true intention of my technique

is to use the power of the natural law

to coerce sentient beings

and cut off the spines
and delusions of the incompetent

so that they know as long as I'm around,

there'll be no immortals!

With Dahuangting,

your foundation is good enough.

On top of that,

this arrogance of yours

is somewhat similar to mine back then.

If you can grasp the meaning of all this,

you might just be able to get into it.

Well, is this Immortal Sword Technique

your strongest technique?

Whichever technique of mine,
it's all the strongest.

Yes.

But speaking of the one I'm best at,

of course, it's Two-Sleeved Green...

Snake.

Hey!

What are we waiting for?

Waiting for Lord Jing'an's consort.

You gave her some lousy beads

and wrote her such a flirty letter.

She's a consort.

How could she possibly come here and meet you?

Even if she wanted to,

Lord Jing'an wouldn't agree to it.

On the contrary,

she might not want to come.

But Lord Jing'an will make her come.

His Highness has given the order

to have the consort meet Xu Feng Nian alone

and see the prince of Beiliang off!

Your Highness.

I have arranged for guards

to send Yu You Wei out of Qingzhou.

The rest of the Feng Battalion has returned
to the unit.

Do a headcount.

Yes.

The Feng Battalion has regrouped
with Xu Feng Nian.

The Feng Battalion has arrived.

What about Lord Jing'an's cavalries?

Sir,

wait a while longer.

Your Highness.

Three people are missing.

Where did that happen?

The number of people was right
at the time of departure.

It probably happened back at the wetlands.

I'll bring some men to find them.

Wait.

Your Highness.

We don't leave our comrades behind.

If you don't want more people to get hurt,

just do as I say.

Here they are.

She actually came?

What is this?

She didn't even bring a guard.

Is this a secret date?

Why do you think Lord Jing'an

would let his favorite consort come
alone to see Xu Feng Nian?

You know why?

I have no idea either.

I'm afraid only Xu Feng Nian can guess

what's really on Lord Jing'an's mind.

Where are the beads that I gave you?

Why aren't you wearing them?

I appreciate the gesture.

I'm returning the prayer beads to you.

Why did you return it to me?

Do you not like it?

Forgive me.

Forget it then if you don't like it.

Does Uncle have anything for me?

This is from him.

[Sending you off, a thousand miles away]

We can't wait any longer.

Xu Feng Nian is leaving.

I'm afraid the cavalries won't make it in time.

Should we make a move or retreat?

Make a move.

There are too many of them.

Draw them away.

Return it to me later.

If I die in battle,

bury it outside Xiangfan City for me.

We're going as well.

Mr. Wu.

Aren't you going to draw the sword?

The bamboo cane will do just fine.

Wily old fox.

"Sending you off, a thousand miles away?"

Just these seven words?

Didn't he say anything else?

He only asked me to give you the letter.

He didn't say anything else.

Perhaps, he knows you're leaving Qingzhou.

So he wrote this to send you off.

That's not right.

These words have a double meaning.

But none of them means a send-off.

A double meaning?

The first one is easier to explain.

A thousand miles down

refers to the underworld.

My uncle wants to send me to my doom.

I've delivered the letter

and returned the prayer beads.

Have your way, Your Highness.

I shall take my leave.

Let's get down and have a talk.

Please behave.

Do you think you can still leave?

Aunt, please get off the carriage.

You can talk now.

What do you want to talk about?

It's our people!

Come with me to rescue them.

- Wait!
-What are we waiting for?

Those are the people of Beiliang!

You're distracted.

- Master Wei!
- I'll go after them!

Shu Xiu, Lv Qian Tang, go with him.

Feng Battalion, go with them!

Aunt, please get into this carriage.

What are you really up to?

It's dangerous. I'm trying to protect you.

You have quite some nerves

to hold the consort's hand.

I've said it before!

The Xu family members
are not allowed to enter Xiangfan again!

The World's 11th Best.

Wang Ming Yin.
