1
00:01:52,485 --> 00:01:56,193
In 7th century China,
the Tang Dynasty is in decline.

2
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,235
The Imperial Court
seeks to protect itself

3
00:01:59,401 --> 00:02:03,485
by establishing garrisons
at the frontiers of its empire.

4
00:02:03,651 --> 00:02:05,110
Two centuries later,

5
00:02:05,276 --> 00:02:09,443
the militarized provinces
waver in their loyalty to the Court.

6
00:02:09,610 --> 00:02:13,901
Some move to distance themselves
from the Emperor’s control.

7
00:02:14,068 --> 00:02:19,674
At that time, Weibo asserts itself
as the strongest of those provinces.

8
00:02:50,090 --> 00:02:52,631
That man poisoned his own father,

9
00:02:52,986 --> 00:02:54,945
he killed his own brother.

10
00:02:56,031 --> 00:02:57,698
His guilt condemns him.

11
00:03:01,531 --> 00:03:05,156
Cut him down for me, expertly.

12
00:03:09,781 --> 00:03:12,448
As if he were a bird in flight.

13
00:04:50,365 --> 00:04:52,031
Don't pinch it!

14
00:05:02,698 --> 00:05:04,031
Where's it going?

15
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,323
Where does it fly to?

16
00:05:13,156 --> 00:05:14,490
Where indeed?

17
00:05:20,823 --> 00:05:23,406
I want to touch it.

18
00:05:28,740 --> 00:05:30,698
Where's it going?

19
00:05:32,615 --> 00:05:34,156
Where's it going?

20
00:05:37,823 --> 00:05:40,323
Play with the ball.

21
00:08:00,198 --> 00:08:02,656
Why did it take you so long?

22
00:08:03,781 --> 00:08:05,948
The governor's son was there.

23
00:08:06,323 --> 00:08:08,365
I could not bring myself to do it.

24
00:08:10,781 --> 00:08:12,240
Another time,

25
00:08:12,740 --> 00:08:14,531
first kill the one he loves,

26
00:08:14,740 --> 00:08:16,406
and then the man himself.

27
00:08:30,740 --> 00:08:32,531
You have mastered the sword

28
00:08:32,781 --> 00:08:34,573
but your heart lacks resolve.

29
00:08:34,948 --> 00:08:36,740
I shall return you to Weibo

30
00:08:36,948 --> 00:08:38,615
to kill your cousin

31
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,156
Tian Ji'an.

32
00:10:22,615 --> 00:10:24,281
My lady,

33
00:10:24,490 --> 00:10:26,740
a nun is here.

34
00:10:26,990 --> 00:10:31,198
She says
she is bringing Yinniang back.

35
00:11:00,948 --> 00:11:03,781
As your humble servant,

36
00:11:04,448 --> 00:11:06,448
I bow to you, Your Reverence.

37
00:11:11,115 --> 00:11:12,948
Yinniang has completed
her studies.

38
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,073
Today she returns.

39
00:11:16,531 --> 00:11:18,448
I'll take my leave of you.

40
00:14:41,448 --> 00:14:44,281
The King of Kophen's bluebird

41
00:14:44,990 --> 00:14:47,365
failed to sing for three years.

42
00:14:49,115 --> 00:14:50,990
One day the Queen remarked :

43
00:14:51,198 --> 00:14:54,406
Birds sing only
to their own kind,

44
00:14:54,615 --> 00:14:56,781
set the bird before a mirror!

45
00:15:03,573 --> 00:15:05,615
The King heeded her advice.

46
00:15:06,948 --> 00:15:08,865
The bluebird saw its own image,

47
00:15:10,365 --> 00:15:12,073
it sang of its sadness,

48
00:15:14,031 --> 00:15:15,656
it danced,

49
00:15:17,865 --> 00:15:19,448
until it expired.

50
00:15:36,198 --> 00:15:39,198
Yinniang,
these clothes are for you.

51
00:15:39,406 --> 00:15:41,865
While you were away
with the nun,

52
00:15:42,323 --> 00:15:44,990
your mother
made them for you herself,

53
00:15:45,406 --> 00:15:47,781
every spring and autumn.

54
00:17:32,448 --> 00:17:34,573
Grandmother, my respects.

55
00:17:36,198 --> 00:17:38,365
Rise.

56
00:18:13,406 --> 00:18:15,448
This is from your Master.

57
00:18:16,156 --> 00:18:18,823
She asked the tea-traders
to bring it here.

58
00:18:35,198 --> 00:18:36,865
This jade was given

59
00:18:37,365 --> 00:18:42,073
to Princess Jiacheng when she was
obliged to marry the Lord of Weibo.

60
00:18:42,990 --> 00:18:47,448
Her brother the Emperor offered it
as a farewell gift.

61
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,615
This jade

62
00:18:55,615 --> 00:18:57,948
symbolizes a decisive break.

63
00:19:00,156 --> 00:19:02,906
His Majesty
was commanding her

64
00:19:03,781 --> 00:19:07,865
to depart from his Court
and to secure Weibo.

65
00:19:09,031 --> 00:19:10,990
To prevent Weibo

66
00:19:11,448 --> 00:19:13,990
from invading
His Majesty's lands.

67
00:19:22,281 --> 00:19:27,490
That year, your uncle and I were
in charge of ceremonial protocol.

68
00:19:30,323 --> 00:19:32,073
I recall

69
00:19:33,031 --> 00:19:36,990
that the princess refused
her usual carriage.

70
00:19:39,031 --> 00:19:41,490
So His Majesty gave her
an Imperial gold carriage.

71
00:19:45,906 --> 00:19:47,990
When Princess Jiacheng
reached Weibo,

72
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,531
she abandoned
all her former customs

73
00:19:53,073 --> 00:19:55,865
and adapted
to the manners of Weibo.

74
00:19:57,448 --> 00:20:02,323
She sent away the retinue of staff
provided by His Majesty.

75
00:20:05,531 --> 00:20:07,615
She lavished
gold and silk on them,

76
00:20:08,156 --> 00:20:12,115
so that they could have
their freedom.

77
00:20:14,365 --> 00:20:15,615
Since then,

78
00:20:16,531 --> 00:20:18,865
the Court is the Court

79
00:20:19,490 --> 00:20:21,615
and Weibo is Weibo.

80
00:20:25,698 --> 00:20:28,948
The Princess implemented
that decisive break.

81
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,490
When her son Tian Ji'an
came of age,

82
00:20:39,115 --> 00:20:41,323
she divided two matching jades:

83
00:20:42,031 --> 00:20:44,073
One to her son, one to you.

84
00:20:45,823 --> 00:20:50,240
She wished the two of you
to maintain the imperial edict.

85
00:20:51,281 --> 00:20:53,240
To be resolute

86
00:20:54,115 --> 00:20:58,031
in preserving the peace
between the Imperial Court and Weibo.

87
00:21:04,656 --> 00:21:06,906
His Majesty
passed away four years ago.

88
00:21:07,948 --> 00:21:12,156
One year later,
his nephew and heir also passed away.

89
00:21:13,990 --> 00:21:18,698
When the imperial messenger
brought the sad news,

90
00:21:20,531 --> 00:21:22,740
Princess Jiacheng coughed up blood

91
00:21:23,740 --> 00:21:25,990
and hurled her pearls and jades

92
00:21:27,281 --> 00:21:29,240
to the ground.

93
00:21:32,156 --> 00:21:33,448
That year,

94
00:21:34,281 --> 00:21:38,823
the glorious white peonies
she brought from the Court

95
00:21:40,406 --> 00:21:43,448
withered overnight.

96
00:21:50,865 --> 00:21:53,406
The Princess had one last concern.

97
00:21:57,073 --> 00:21:59,531
Her heart was troubled
by the thought...

98
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:07,073
that she had let you down.

99
00:22:48,156 --> 00:22:49,156
A year ago,

100
00:22:49,323 --> 00:22:51,990
the Court sent
an official to Chengde

101
00:22:52,281 --> 00:22:54,823
to console Wang Chengzong

102
00:22:54,990 --> 00:22:57,365
for his father's death.

103
00:22:57,615 --> 00:23:01,865
He persuaded Wang to pay the Court
taxes on salt and iron

104
00:23:02,073 --> 00:23:05,406
and give away two provinces
for a promotion.

105
00:23:05,615 --> 00:23:09,948
The Court immediately
established in these two provinces

106
00:23:10,865 --> 00:23:12,698
the Baoxin Garrison.

107
00:23:12,906 --> 00:23:15,615
Lord Tian,
you have a man in Chengde,

108
00:23:15,906 --> 00:23:18,698
seeding trouble between
Wang and Xue Changchao.

109
00:23:18,906 --> 00:23:23,323
He tells Wang that Xue has secret
dealings with the Court.

110
00:23:23,531 --> 00:23:25,573
That will goad Wang

111
00:23:26,115 --> 00:23:27,615
into capturing Xue,

112
00:23:27,823 --> 00:23:31,323
so Xue will not be able
to receive his promotion!

113
00:23:33,156 --> 00:23:36,490
This plan must be curtailed!

114
00:23:36,698 --> 00:23:38,198
At the moment,

115
00:23:38,365 --> 00:23:42,781
the Imperial Court
is actively extending its domain.

116
00:23:42,990 --> 00:23:45,615
The Court will certainly be offended

117
00:23:45,906 --> 00:23:49,906
and send troops into Weibo!

118
00:23:50,115 --> 00:23:52,865
Their new provinces
adjoin Weibo,

119
00:23:53,115 --> 00:23:56,031
and it is where they built
their new garrison.

120
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,531
The Court is showing off its strength
to intimidate us in Weibo.

121
00:24:00,781 --> 00:24:03,906
It is time to act.

122
00:24:04,115 --> 00:24:06,615
The Court could take Weibo

123
00:24:06,865 --> 00:24:11,656
as easily as
it took the Wushu provinces.

124
00:24:14,156 --> 00:24:18,240
It will not be so easy
to seize Weibo.

125
00:24:18,740 --> 00:24:20,990
We are not like Wushu.

126
00:24:23,323 --> 00:24:25,198
The Wushu garrison

127
00:24:25,365 --> 00:24:28,823
was encircled by the Court.

128
00:24:29,115 --> 00:24:31,281
Their rulers behaved as autocrats

129
00:24:32,406 --> 00:24:37,615
and commanded
no popular support!

130
00:24:38,156 --> 00:24:38,990
Thus,

131
00:24:39,156 --> 00:24:43,448
the population instantly ceded
to the Court's army.

132
00:24:45,573 --> 00:24:47,823
There is no comparison
with Weibo.

133
00:24:48,198 --> 00:24:52,781
Our fifty-year history
has forged bonds

134
00:24:53,448 --> 00:24:56,948
between ruler and ruled.

135
00:24:57,323 --> 00:24:58,406
Furthermore,

136
00:24:58,615 --> 00:25:02,573
even if Wang and Xue fall out,

137
00:25:02,823 --> 00:25:04,365
they are related by marriage.

138
00:25:04,573 --> 00:25:07,406
Their quarrel will not spill
over borders.

139
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,448
Xue Changchao
has interests in Weibo.

140
00:25:11,698 --> 00:25:14,323
He does not always obey the Court.

141
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,323
My lord,

142
00:25:16,573 --> 00:25:20,240
setting Wang against Xue

143
00:25:20,531 --> 00:25:24,323
would offend the Court
and they will send troops.

144
00:25:25,531 --> 00:25:28,323
It will place Weibo
in grave danger!

145
00:29:30,948 --> 00:29:32,781
Lord Tian is arriving.

146
00:29:46,823 --> 00:29:48,906
It was a woman in black.

147
00:29:49,156 --> 00:29:51,573
Your son saw her
while he was playing.

148
00:29:53,031 --> 00:29:55,281
She seemed to mean him
no harm.

149
00:32:17,031 --> 00:32:18,573
The guard says

150
00:32:18,906 --> 00:32:20,906
my brother will be banished.

151
00:32:21,990 --> 00:32:24,240
His blunt speaking caused offence.

152
00:32:28,073 --> 00:32:29,615
How is he?

153
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,865
He had a stroke.

154
00:32:42,490 --> 00:32:43,990
Yinniang is back.

155
00:32:44,198 --> 00:32:45,656
I heard.

156
00:32:46,948 --> 00:32:49,740
The nun-princess brought her back.

157
00:34:40,031 --> 00:34:41,865
Lord Tian is here.

158
00:36:04,115 --> 00:36:06,240
You're thinking about that woman?

159
00:36:16,490 --> 00:36:19,073
Tian Xing will be sent away.

160
00:36:25,740 --> 00:36:28,573
He provoked panic.
They all support the Court!

161
00:36:29,823 --> 00:36:32,240
Cowards, all of them!

162
00:40:32,865 --> 00:40:33,865
It was Yinniang.

163
00:40:35,615 --> 00:40:36,615
It was her.

164
00:40:49,115 --> 00:40:50,240
I understand.

165
00:40:54,531 --> 00:40:56,740
She wanted me to recognize her.

166
00:40:59,531 --> 00:41:00,531
Who?

167
00:41:00,698 --> 00:41:01,823
Yinniang.

168
00:41:02,531 --> 00:41:05,531
She wanted me to recognize her
before taking my life.

169
00:41:05,781 --> 00:41:07,990
She wants me to know why.

170
00:41:38,531 --> 00:41:40,365
These jades were given...

171
00:41:42,281 --> 00:41:45,615
to my mother when she married
into the Weibo clan.

172
00:41:47,156 --> 00:41:48,823
When I came of age,

173
00:41:49,281 --> 00:41:52,906
Mother gave one to me,
one to Yinniang.

174
00:41:54,406 --> 00:41:55,823
One jade each,

175
00:41:56,448 --> 00:41:58,448
she betrothed us.

176
00:42:01,490 --> 00:42:05,615
Mother intended us to wed
when Yinniang turned fifteen.

177
00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:09,198
The following year,

178
00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:13,490
Yuan, the Ming lord,
formed an alliance with Weibo.

179
00:42:13,990 --> 00:42:17,031
Father wanted to cement
the alliance with a marriage.

180
00:42:21,615 --> 00:42:24,490
I was born to a concubine,
Mother adopted me.

181
00:42:25,365 --> 00:42:28,073
To be sure
that I would inherit Weibo.

182
00:42:29,865 --> 00:42:31,865
Mother betrayed
her promise to Yinniang.

183
00:42:47,740 --> 00:42:49,365
Back then,

184
00:42:50,865 --> 00:42:53,740
Yinniang stayed in the forest.

185
00:42:56,990 --> 00:42:58,573
Like a phoenix!

186
00:42:59,990 --> 00:43:01,948
She broke into the Yuans' mansion.

187
00:43:02,490 --> 00:43:04,198
Their guards wounded her.

188
00:43:05,823 --> 00:43:07,531
She could have died.

189
00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:15,823
Mother asked her twin sister,
Princess Jiaxin,

190
00:43:17,365 --> 00:43:20,406
to take Yinniang away.

191
00:43:42,990 --> 00:43:44,906
I feel for Yinniang.

192
00:44:10,490 --> 00:44:12,948
When I was ten
I had a serious fever.

193
00:44:14,531 --> 00:44:16,615
The pain was unbearable.

194
00:44:18,740 --> 00:44:20,573
The doctors were no help.

195
00:44:21,156 --> 00:44:23,365
A small coffin was prepared.

196
00:44:25,781 --> 00:44:27,323
Yinniang's father suggested

197
00:44:27,531 --> 00:44:30,448
I be rolled in a bamboo mat

198
00:44:30,740 --> 00:44:32,740
and put in a cool spot.

199
00:44:33,406 --> 00:44:35,198
After three days and nights,

200
00:44:35,406 --> 00:44:36,906
I was cured.

201
00:44:42,906 --> 00:44:44,573
In my delirium,

202
00:44:46,281 --> 00:44:48,281
I sensed a presence.

203
00:44:49,115 --> 00:44:50,490
It was Yinniang.

204
00:44:51,698 --> 00:44:54,156
No one could have made her leave.

205
00:46:05,198 --> 00:46:06,323
Excuse me, sir,

206
00:46:06,531 --> 00:46:08,365
our guard has a report.

207
00:46:08,615 --> 00:46:09,990
Speak.

208
00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:17,531
Lord Provost,

209
00:46:17,740 --> 00:46:20,990
an assassin entered
Lord Tian's mansion.

210
00:46:21,198 --> 00:46:23,865
Our guards are in pursuit.

211
00:46:24,323 --> 00:46:25,781
What is the situation?

212
00:46:26,323 --> 00:46:27,698
Nothing is certain.

213
00:46:34,198 --> 00:46:36,240
I withdraw.

214
00:46:46,823 --> 00:46:49,906
We should not have allowed
the nun to take Yinniang away.

215
00:46:53,698 --> 00:46:55,531
What choice did we have?

216
00:46:56,948 --> 00:46:59,240
We had to save her somehow.

217
00:47:04,698 --> 00:47:06,490
Do you realize?

218
00:47:10,281 --> 00:47:11,615
Yinniang is back

219
00:47:11,781 --> 00:47:14,448
to kill Lord Tian
on the orders of her Master!

220
00:47:37,448 --> 00:47:39,115
Provost,

221
00:47:39,573 --> 00:47:41,573
a messenger is here.

222
00:47:41,823 --> 00:47:46,615
Lord Tian urgently requires
your presence.

223
00:48:52,323 --> 00:48:54,406
My Lord, the Provost is here.

224
00:48:54,781 --> 00:48:56,615
Your humble servant pays
his respects.

225
00:48:59,781 --> 00:49:01,656
I sent for you,

226
00:49:02,198 --> 00:49:07,906
because I want you to escort
Commander Tian Xing to the border.

227
00:49:11,198 --> 00:49:13,240
Make sure he reaches it safely.

228
00:49:21,115 --> 00:49:22,448
My Lord,

229
00:49:23,490 --> 00:49:25,406
Tian Xing went home yesterday.

230
00:49:25,615 --> 00:49:27,531
He had a stroke.

231
00:49:30,198 --> 00:49:31,698
He's pretending.

232
00:49:36,990 --> 00:49:38,198
As you command.

233
00:49:40,156 --> 00:49:41,531
Uncle...

234
00:49:47,740 --> 00:49:49,740
Be ready for anything.

235
00:49:52,323 --> 00:49:56,615
Three years ago, his predecessor
was seized and buried alive.

236
00:49:57,198 --> 00:49:58,698
That must not happen again!

237
00:50:09,948 --> 00:50:11,531
Yinniang...

238
00:50:12,615 --> 00:50:14,865
returned home yesterday.

239
00:50:24,865 --> 00:50:26,865
We came face to face last night.

240
00:51:29,490 --> 00:51:31,156
As My Lady guessed,

241
00:51:31,365 --> 00:51:34,740
she faked her period
with chicken blood.

242
00:51:38,490 --> 00:51:40,531
Lord Tian is here.

243
00:51:53,740 --> 00:51:57,865
Tell the nurse to fetch the boys.

244
00:52:11,073 --> 00:52:13,656
Jiang, show yourself!

245
00:52:21,781 --> 00:52:25,656
Yesterday,
I ordered Tian Xing to leave.

246
00:52:26,156 --> 00:52:28,281
He has a new post.

247
00:52:29,448 --> 00:52:32,990
Just now,
I ordered Provost Nie Feng

248
00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:36,240
to escort him.

249
00:52:38,948 --> 00:52:41,990
The incident of three years ago

250
00:52:42,490 --> 00:52:44,281
must not be repeated!

251
00:52:47,323 --> 00:52:48,448
Understood.

252
00:52:53,281 --> 00:52:55,656
I hear we had an intruder last night.

253
00:52:55,865 --> 00:52:57,823
The same woman in black?

254
00:53:00,740 --> 00:53:02,531
You are well informed!

255
00:55:27,573 --> 00:55:28,990
Travel safely!

256
00:56:47,490 --> 00:56:49,281
Bring Xiaomian here.

257
00:57:00,823 --> 00:57:02,156
Master,

258
00:57:02,698 --> 00:57:04,948
it is exactly as Madame guessed.

259
00:57:05,156 --> 00:57:06,615
Huji is pregnant.

260
00:57:06,823 --> 00:57:09,615
She faked her period
with chicken blood.

261
00:57:41,531 --> 00:57:46,198
Commander Tian Xing will leave.
When it gets dark, go after him.

262
00:58:22,990 --> 00:58:23,656
What news?

263
00:58:23,865 --> 00:58:26,448
Tian Xing has left the staging post.

264
00:58:45,740 --> 00:58:48,198
They took a fork in the road.

265
00:58:48,406 --> 00:58:49,490
With Commander Tian?

266
00:58:49,698 --> 00:58:51,156
It was too dark to tell.

267
00:58:51,365 --> 00:58:52,990
Our man is chasing them.

268
01:07:25,656 --> 01:07:30,573
We should not have let the nun
take you away.

269
01:16:37,323 --> 01:16:40,031
Princess Jiacheng
taught me the zither.

270
01:16:42,198 --> 01:16:44,906
She told me a story
about a bluebird's dance.

271
01:16:53,073 --> 01:16:55,573
She herself was the bluebird.

272
01:16:58,406 --> 01:17:02,990
She left the Court for Weibo
all by herself.

273
01:17:05,198 --> 01:17:07,365
There was no one like her
in Weibo.

274
01:25:51,490 --> 01:25:53,156
Come and help!

275
01:25:59,948 --> 01:26:01,198
Huji!

276
01:26:28,781 --> 01:26:30,531
Huji is pregnant.

277
01:28:15,073 --> 01:28:16,990
I found this in the corridor.

278
01:28:29,490 --> 01:28:32,865
My father showed me one of these
shortly before he died.

279
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:39,990
When the Lord
died suddenly in the night,

280
01:28:40,698 --> 01:28:42,865
one was found by his bed.

281
01:28:43,573 --> 01:28:45,990
Father suspected a plot
by Princess Jiaxin.

282
01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:50,115
He traced her to a temple
in the south, where they spoke.

283
01:28:52,115 --> 01:28:54,156
She blamed him
for his suspicions,

284
01:28:54,406 --> 01:28:57,115
saying she served the heavens,
not evil spirits

285
01:28:57,323 --> 01:29:01,281
and such black magic
just scares the simple-minded.

286
01:29:03,281 --> 01:29:05,073
In her opinion,

287
01:29:05,656 --> 01:29:08,031
the Lord died of fear.

288
01:29:08,781 --> 01:29:10,906
He scared himself to death.

289
01:30:36,823 --> 01:30:38,490
Lord Tian is here.

290
01:30:39,615 --> 01:30:41,490
Come here, boys!

291
01:31:42,490 --> 01:31:43,948
Sit.

292
01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:47,948
All of you.

293
01:32:04,448 --> 01:32:05,948
Rise!

294
01:32:16,573 --> 01:32:18,281
Clear this away.

295
01:32:52,156 --> 01:32:53,115
Reporting, sir!

296
01:32:53,406 --> 01:32:55,323
Commander Tian reached his post.

297
01:32:55,531 --> 01:32:58,115
And Provost Nie is recovering
from his wounds.

298
01:32:58,365 --> 01:33:03,573
He remains weak, but will report
to you himself tomorrow.

299
01:33:04,781 --> 01:33:05,906
My Lord,

300
01:33:06,115 --> 01:33:08,323
Wang Chengzong
has sent 200 cavalrymen

301
01:33:08,573 --> 01:33:12,240
to arrest Xue Changchao.

302
01:33:13,698 --> 01:33:14,865
My Lord,

303
01:33:15,073 --> 01:33:17,115
if we behave aggressively

304
01:33:17,490 --> 01:33:20,115
and destroy the Imperial troops,

305
01:33:20,323 --> 01:33:23,365
the Court will mobilize

306
01:33:23,531 --> 01:33:25,198
against Weibo.

307
01:33:25,406 --> 01:33:29,281
I propose that
we distract the Court's men

308
01:33:29,698 --> 01:33:31,906
by offering them food and wine.

309
01:33:32,115 --> 01:33:34,073
Meanwhile,
we negotiate with Wang...

310
01:35:37,781 --> 01:35:41,281
Were Tian Ji'an to die
while his sons are still young,

311
01:35:41,573 --> 01:35:43,156
Weibo would fall into chaos.

312
01:35:45,781 --> 01:35:47,406
So I chose not to kill him.

313
01:35:51,698 --> 01:35:53,948
The way of the sword is pitiless.

314
01:35:54,156 --> 01:35:56,656
Saintly virtues play no part in it.

315
01:35:57,823 --> 01:35:59,906
Your skills are matchless,

316
01:36:01,573 --> 01:36:04,865
but your mind is hostage
to human sentiments.

317
01:39:40,115 --> 01:39:40,656
Look!

318
01:39:40,823 --> 01:39:43,490
The young woman kept
her promise.

319
01:39:43,781 --> 01:39:46,156
She said she'd come back.

320
01:39:47,156 --> 01:39:48,490
She is trustworthy.

321
01:39:48,698 --> 01:39:51,281
She'll escort him
into the land of Xinro.
