1:55=Legend of the Iron Bow=
2:00Sister Xiuying,
2:02why do you come here to fetch water every day?
2:06Because the spring water here makes better tea.
2:11Look, Sister Xiuying.
2:12How free the little fish are swimming!
2:14Yes.
2:15I wish I were a little fish.
2:17I could swim around all day,
2:19with no one controlling me.
2:20But if you were a fish,
2:22fish can't live without water.
2:24I'll splash some water on you.
2:33How shameless!
2:42Do you still remember the poem I taught you the other day?
2:45From afar I gaze at the pines on the mountain,
2:47Unfading even in the harsh winter.
2:50I long to rest beneath their shade,
2:52And behold those lofty ten-thousand-feet boughs.
2:57I leap,
2:58I leap,
3:01yet cannot rise aloft.
3:03(Chen Xiuying) Stamping my feet, I wait for Wang Qiao.
3:08Time waits not for me,
3:12swept away by the tide of fate.
3:16Xiaolian.
3:18Xiaolian!
3:20What a disgrace!
3:21Come up at once!
3:27You're still fooling around with her.
3:28Come on!
3:30If it weren't for her father...
3:31your second uncle would still be alive.
3:41(Yellow Sesame Flatbread) Her father...
3:42(Tea Shop) If you have spirit in heaven,
3:44(Haojieju Inn) please bless us mother and daughter with safety.
3:49Bless our daughter Xiuying,
3:52(Mother Li, Chen's Mother) that she may find a good family soon.
3:56And have a good home.
3:58Mother,
4:01I'm home.
4:07(Spirit Tablet of Late Father Chen Zheng)
4:08Why did you go out barefoot again?
4:10Can't you put on shoes?
4:12It's only a few steps.
4:13The shoes get wet and wear out quickly.
4:16A young lady
4:17should behave like a lady.
4:19Do you understand?
4:20Gossip is spreading more and more outside.
4:23Fewer people come to try drawing the bow.
4:26If you really can't marry,
4:28you'll regret it for life.
4:30I'll never marry.
4:31I'll just stay with you.
4:33Nonsense.
4:37Before your father passed away,
4:38he often told me,
4:39whoever can draw this bow
4:42is worthy to be his son-in-law.
4:44Your father died in battle back then...
4:46How did this bow come back to us?
4:49Why did it appear
4:50at our door for no reason?
4:52It must be your father,
4:53caring about your marriage, who sent it back.
4:57If you really can't marry,
4:59I won't have the face
5:00to see your father.
5:01Tomorrow,
5:03you don't need to fetch water.
5:05I'll hire a servant.
5:06I'll buy some cloth,
5:08and make some nice clothes for you.
5:10Mother!
5:13Say whatever you want about me, Mother.
5:16But we mustn't touch this money.
5:19Is this money more important than your marriage?
5:22Alright, Mother, stop nagging.
5:24Business has been tough lately.
5:26We need to open the shop soon.
6:12Xiuying!
6:17Brother Zhong, let me help you.
6:19Get out of here.
6:27Xiuying.
6:28The soldiers are here.
6:30(Kuang Zhong) Ma'am, as usual.
6:32Have a seat, have a seat.
6:35Brother Zhong,
6:36you bring your brothers here every day,
6:37drinking hot tea with your necks craned.
6:39Don't you find it tiring?
6:41What do you know?
6:42Only after enduring true hardship
6:44will you know how fragrant this tea is.
6:45(Gao Peng)
6:48(Wang Fugang)
6:50He carries wine in his heart,
6:52drunk without taking a sip.
6:55He always comes to support our business.
6:57Stop wearing such a stern face.
7:00I think this young man is decent.
7:02He doesn't look like a deserter.
7:05Decent how?
7:08Soldiers under my father were nothing like this.
7:10Those rumors
7:11aren't necessarily true.
7:13I'll ask him to try someday
7:15drawing that bow.
7:16Maybe he actually can draw it.
7:20Sit.
7:23Old woman, bring the tea.
7:25Coming.
7:29Taken a fancy to her?
7:32See that iron bow over there?
7:34Her father Chen Zheng left a last wish.
7:36Whoever can draw this iron bow
7:38shall be her husband.
7:40Why don't you give it a try?
7:42It's impossible to draw.
7:44I've tried many times.
7:46Besides, the daughter of a defeated general
7:49should be grateful to marry at all.
7:50Why bother with the bow?
7:52I have a foolish nephew.
7:53He's slow in the head,
7:55but born with great strength.
7:57I'll send him to try someday.
7:59What wife would that fool marry? Give it a try?
8:01Tea! Tea!
8:03Old woman, bring the tea!
8:08Mother, when we save enough money,
8:10I'll take you to the capital to see the world.
8:12We'll open a tea house there.
8:14There are more people,
8:14and it is easier to make money.
8:15I've seen everything already.
8:17I'm already halfway to the grave.
8:19I can't travel anymore.
8:32The capital...
8:34Is it far?
8:42I'm not binding my feet anymore.
8:43It hurts so badly.
8:44Xiaolian, come back here!
9:04Are you all right?
9:05I-I'm fine.
9:09How dare you block our young master's horse!
9:29(Shi Lun)
9:31Impressive skills, young lady.
9:34I
9:35quite like women with martial arts skills.
9:37Young master, we have important business.
9:41I have urgent business to attend to.
9:43We shall meet again another day.
9:46Let's go.
9:48Well done!
9:49Sister Xiuying, you're amazing!
9:53Let's go home.
9:57Sister Xiuying.
9:58I don't want to bind my feet.
10:00I wish I were a boy.
10:03Then my father would love me.
10:05Nonsense. No parents don't love their children.
10:10Xiaolian! Xiaolian!
10:13Are you okay?
10:15You're not hurt, are you?
10:17Father, I'm fine.
10:23Niece,
10:25I'm truly sorry about what happened before.
10:28We owe you so much this time.
10:31Uncle,
10:32Why are you binding
10:33such fine feet?
10:34She can barely stand.
10:36How can she live like this?
10:37B-But it's for her future,
10:41so she can have a good marriage.
10:43Xiaolian.
10:44Come, let's go home.
10:56(Taiyuan Garrison Office)
10:57When you entered and left Yanmen Pass this time,
11:00no one noticed, did they?
11:01Don't worry, Father.
11:02It was done in complete secrecy.
11:04(Shi Xulong)
11:09Better to be careful.
11:11Father,
11:12are the Oirats demanding tribute again?
11:15They're so insatiable.
11:17Why do you always give in to them?
11:21Greater good is for long-term success.
11:26As long as the Oirats don't attack Taiyuan,
11:30this city of Taiyuan belongs to our Shi family.
11:35No one can touch me.
11:37Father, what do we do now?
11:41These lowly people of Taiyuan
11:42have no more wealth left to squeeze.
11:47First, go collect grain and military pay.
11:49Let me think.
11:50Yes, Father.
11:52Lun'er.
11:53What is it, Father?
11:57Someone is refusing to let Chen Zheng's death go.
12:00They've filed a complaint with Wang Yuanlong.
12:03Wang Yuanlong and Chen Zheng were old friends.
12:07You must be more careful from now on.
12:11He is an assistant military commissioner of Shanxi.
12:15He has no evidence.
12:17What can he do to us?
12:18You're hopelessly stubborn.
12:20Our family will be ruined by you sooner or later.
13:03Your tea addiction is getting worse,
13:05and asked for leave to go to the teahouse.
13:06The Shi family plunder the people's wealth.
13:09I just don't want to help them do evil.
13:12They're demanding military grain this time.
13:15They've demanded grain repeatedly over the years.
13:17But how much has actually been sent to the border?
13:22I'm afraid none will be sent this time.
13:25Yesterday,
13:26I accidentally overheard them,
13:28saying they demand grain and pay from both sides.
13:31From both sides?
13:35Fugang, how is matter I asked you to investigate?
13:37Have you made any progress?
13:40I'm only a clerk in the garrison office.
13:42Too few documents pass through my hands.
13:46I snuck into the garrison office last night,
13:49and found one room guarded extremely heavily.
13:52That is where important documents are stored.
13:56No outsiders are allowed near it.
13:58If I get a chance to go in,
14:00I'll definitely look into it for you.
14:01Fugang,
14:03for this matter,
14:04you're taking such a risk.
14:05There's no need to say that to me.
14:07If you hadn't saved me back then,
14:09I wouldn't be alive today.
14:11General Chen's 2,000 men were wiped out back then.
14:14You were the only one who survived.
14:16You barely escaped with your life.
14:18You need to let go of this knot in your heart.
14:22I think Xiuying is a good woman.
14:23It would be wonderful if you married and lived a good life.
14:28In this world,
14:29the hardest thing to untie is one's heart.
14:32Enough about me.
14:34I heard you have a marriage engagement.
14:36But I've never heard you mention it.
14:38Gao Peng has such a big mouth.
14:40Didn't you say it yourself?
14:42The hardest thing to untie is one's heart.
14:48Within three days,
14:49hand over all the grain.
14:51Those who disobey will be severely punished.
14:55Shi Lun!
14:58(Tea Shop) Sir, we have no extra grain!
15:01Beat them!
15:03Stop!
15:05(Haojieju Inn)
15:08Is this the place?
15:08Yes, Young Master.
15:09The young lady who blocked your horse that day
15:11sells tea right here at Haojieju Inn.
15:15Please stop beating us!
15:16I'll hand it over, okay?
15:18We'll be in trouble if we're recognized. Go somewhere else.
15:20Wait a moment.
15:28Why is he here?
15:32Bring tea.
15:34Xiuying,
15:36stay here and don't move.
15:37Don't go out no matter what.
15:38I will handle this. Be good.
15:41No one's here! Hurry up!
15:42Coming! Coming!
15:48Sir,
15:51this is the best tea in our shop.
15:55Please have a taste.
15:57Here you are.
16:06What terrible tea is this?
16:07It's so bad.
16:10Are you trying to fool me?
16:11I wouldn't dare, sir!
16:12Hurry up!
16:14Bring me a pot of top-grade pre-rain tea! Hurry!
16:16Our shop is small,
16:18we don't have any top-grade pre-rain tea.
16:21Listen, old woman.
16:22I think you don't want to keep shop open, do you?
16:26B-But how...
16:31Why did you come out?
16:35This really is the best tea in our shop.
16:39Young Master, you're used to fine food and drink every day.
16:41Naturally, you don't think this tea is anything special.
16:44So you brewed this tea, young lady.
16:47Then I must taste it properly.
16:55Delicious! Excellent tea!
16:57Excuse me, miss.
16:58Pour another bowl for this young master.
17:05Miss,
17:06ever since I met you last time,
17:09I've thought of you day and night.
17:12I have so many heartfelt words to say to you.
17:21This young lady has quite a temper.
17:24I
17:25quite like ladies with a temper.
17:29If you submit to me,
17:31I'll give you endless wealth and glory.
17:34Far better than the life you live
17:37in this lousy tea house.
17:38My lady.
17:44You...you prefer the hard way!
17:46Seize her!
18:05What are you doing?
18:06Think carefully, he's Shi Lun!
18:11Stop beating them! Stop!
18:15Please stop, sir!
18:16Stop hitting them!
18:17Get out of my way!
18:21Mother!
18:21Xiuying!
18:25Beat her! Beat her hard!
18:35Xiuying!
18:36Mother!
18:37Xiuying!
18:38Move!
18:39Just move,
18:40or I'll kill her!
18:43Hold her down!
18:54You're not only good at fighting,
18:58but your temper
18:59is truly fierce.
19:00But I like it.
19:08Aren't you amazing?
19:10Tonight,
19:11I'll show you how powerful I am.
19:30Hurry!
19:31What are you looking at?
19:32Get over there and kill him!
19:34Hurry! Move!
19:39Attack! Kill them!
20:03Hurry and kill her!
20:13Who dares move?
20:15I'll shoot anyone who moves!
20:16No! Don't move!
20:18Stay still!
20:20Get out of here now!
20:22Leaving right now! Right now!
20:24Right away!
20:27Leaving! We're leaving!
20:31Let's go! Retreat!
20:32Hurry! Let's go!
20:34Get back! Out of the way!
20:35Move aside!
20:41Mother,
20:43are you all right?
20:44I'm fine.
20:47Who are you?
20:51It's you.
20:54This kid...
20:56Thank goodness you came.
20:57Thank you so much.
20:59I'm glad you're safe.
21:03Fugang,
21:05Shi Lun will never let this go.
21:06You must leave at once.
21:08We mother and daughter
21:10have nowhere to go in such a hurry.
21:11Go to Erlong Mountain.
21:12Erlong Mountain?
21:13Yes.
21:14B-But isn't that a bandit stronghold?
21:16It is easy to defend and hard to attack.
21:18They have many men.
21:19Shi Xulong fears them greatly.
21:20Besides, they often fight against the Oirats.
21:22They're deeply popular in Taiyuan.
21:24Shi Xulong doesn't dare act against them lightly.
21:26But we've never had any dealings with them.
21:28Will they take us in?
21:30Right.
21:33Take this.
21:38(Wang) Show them this jade pendant if you're stopped.
21:40Hurry!
21:48Out of the way! Out of the way!
21:59This way! Let's go!
22:07Thank goodness Kuang Zhong and the others arrived in time.
22:10Otherwise, we would be trapped in the city,
22:13and we'd be in huge trouble.
22:17Ma'am,
22:21I didn't know you were such a good archer.
22:25Mother.
22:27Ma'am, Xiuying,
22:28Go straight, and you'll reach Erlong Mountain.
22:30Aren't you coming with us?
22:33I have to go back to report for duty.
22:34The Shi family run amok in Taiyuan,
22:35harming the people.
22:36And you're going back to help them do evil?
22:38I only know how to be a soldier.
22:39I have no other skills.
22:41If that's how you see it,
22:42then the rumors are true.
22:43Xiuying,
22:45what rumors?
22:46They say during the battle,
22:48you survived by pretending to be dead.
22:52A person has to stay alive first.
22:53Once you're dead, you have nothing.
22:55If you're so afraid of death,
22:56why did you help me?
22:58How could I, a real man,
22:59stand by and watch a woman being bullied?
23:02Ma'am, take these clothes.
23:05Change into them when you get the chance.
23:06Just in case.
23:06All right.
23:12Ma'am,
23:13remember,
23:13don't stop for anything.
23:14Okay.
23:20Alright, let's go, Mother.
23:21Hurry.
23:25Watch out, Mother!
23:28I think Kuang Zhong is a good young man.
23:34Father, why did you hit me?
23:37You worthless fool!
23:39Do you know who that girl is?
23:42She's just someone who runs a lousy tea house.
23:45She's Chen Zheng's daughter.
23:47Chen...
23:51She never steps out of her house.
23:52How was I supposed to know who she is?
24:06It's all my fault for being too soft back then.
24:13Now,
24:15we must root them out completely.
24:21Mother,
24:22slow down.
24:25Are you all right, Mother?
24:26I can't go on.
24:28This old body of mine is finished.
24:31Mother, there's a wooden cabin ahead.
24:34Let's go in and rest.
24:37Let's go.
24:38Go.
24:40(Taiyuan Left Military Camp)
24:52Don't move.
24:56Kuang Zhong,
24:57you were quite fierce during the day.
25:00How dare you
25:02try to kill me.
25:05You think just because you wore a stupid mask,
25:07I wouldn't recognize you?
25:08Speak!
25:09Where did the mother and daughter go?
25:11(Spirit Tablet of Late Father Chen Zheng)
25:17(Spirit Tablet of Late Father Chen Zheng)
25:26When you wear men's clothes,
25:29you look more and more
25:31like your father.
25:37If I were a man,
25:39he would be even more proud.
25:42Xiuying,
25:44your father loved you very much.
25:47When he left us back then,
25:50he must have had his reasons.
25:53There was always something more important than me.
26:06Mother, I'm an unfilial daughter.
26:08I've dragged you down and made you suffer.
26:11Once we're out of danger,
26:12we'll go to the capital and live a good life.
26:17As long as we mother and daughter are together,
26:19we can go anywhere.
26:23Silly girl.
28:50For things I can't have,
28:52no one else can have.
28:53Shoot arrows!
28:56Xiuying!
28:57Mother!
29:06Mother!
29:06(Spirit Tablet of Late Father Chen Zheng)
29:09Mother!
29:11Mother!
29:17Burn her alive!
29:20Get out!
29:21Xiuying!
29:22Run! Hurry!
29:25You must live on.
29:28Or I won't be able to face your dad in afterlife.
29:33No, Mother!
29:35We'll leave together!
29:36Hurry, get up!
29:37Xiuying, listen to me.
29:40Hurry and go!
29:42I have never begged you in her life.
29:46I only hope you can
29:48stay safe and well.
29:49Mother!
29:54Stay alive.
29:57Mother!
29:58Mother!
30:06Mother!
30:08Mother!
30:19Mother!
30:47Get out of the way!
30:47Chase her!
30:48Hurry!
31:15Something's wrong!
31:16What happened?
31:17Brother Kuang Zhong was captured by Shi Lun!
31:19We have to save him!
31:41Why are you pulling me?
31:42Young Master, Erlong Mountain is just ahead.
31:44The bandits have set many traps.
31:46(Erlong Mountain) We should be careful.
31:49D*mn it!
32:04Who are you?
32:06How dare you break into Erlong Mountain at night?
32:08Erlong Mountain...
32:09Speak! What are you doing here?
32:11I'm Wang Fugang.
32:13Wang Fugang? You're Wang Fugang?
32:17Second Leader!
32:18He says he's Wang Fugang!
32:28(Zhang Daqing)
32:30You're Wang Fugang?
32:33How can you prove it?
32:40(Wang)
32:45Take him up the mountain.
32:46(Erlong Mountain)
32:55(Erlong Mountain)
32:57(Wang, Guan)
33:02He looks like him.
33:04He looks exactly like him!
33:07Foster Father!
33:11Nephew Fugang!
33:13(Guan Shouyi) I've been searching for you for so long!
33:17Our families have been close for generations.
33:20Your father and I served in the court together
33:23as close as brothers.
33:25Years ago, I was framed by treacherous officials,
33:29and had no choice but to become an outlaw.
33:35Sadly, your father was close to me,
33:38and had his entire family executed.
33:43Only you escaped.
33:47I've been looking for you for over ten years.
33:51When I searched in Taiyuan,
33:55the Oirats were invading the Ming.
33:59So I brought my men to Erlong Mountain.
34:04We fought the Oirats for the people,
34:08while looking for any news of you.
34:10Heaven rewards the faithful.
34:14I finally got to see you before I die.
34:18Old Master!
34:19Don't call me Master.
34:21You and Yueying have been betrothed since childhood.
34:26This jade pendant is your token.
34:29You should call me Father-in-law.
34:32Father!
34:41You come here too.
34:52Nephew Fugang,
34:54I can see you're tired today.
34:57Tomorrow I'll hold a feast to welcome you.
35:01Daqing, take Fugang to rest.
35:04This way.
35:24Father,
35:26(Guan Yueying) do you know Wang Fugang well?
35:28Like father, like son.
35:32I would never be wrong.
35:39Yueying.
35:41Remember this:
35:44Daqing is your elder brother.
35:48I taught you since you were little,
35:50a person must keep their promises.
35:54This was an agreement I made with Fugang's father.
35:59But this was your agreement!
36:01Why gamble with my whole life?
36:04You don't have a choice.
36:06You will marry him,
36:08whether you want to or not.
36:10Did you ever think about how I feel?
36:13I've obeyed you my whole life.
36:17Can't I make one decision for myself?
36:21How selfish!
36:23I am your father!
36:28Father!
36:29Father!
36:31What's wrong, Father?
36:34Father!
36:36Father!
36:59This is a military camp!
37:00No unauthorized entry! Halt!
37:06Lord Garrison Commander,
37:07I have urgent business to report, sir.
37:08How dare a lowly clerk block my horse?
37:11Drag him out!
37:12No!
37:13Sir! Lord Commander!
37:18Lord Garrison Commander.
37:19I...
37:28Lord Garrison Commander,
37:34Lord Garrison Commander,
37:37I have urgent business to report.
37:40Speak.
37:41What is your relationship with them?
37:44And...
37:44are you colluding with Erlong Mountain?
37:48If you don't talk, I'll...
37:52Get out of my way!
37:55Are you going to talk or not?
37:58You've got quite a tough mouth.
38:02Stop!
38:05Father!
38:07You fool!
38:09Instead of serving your country loyally,
38:10you're full of despicable schemes.
38:15Get out!
38:24It's my fault for not disciplining him strictly.
38:32I already know what happened.
38:35I'm relieved to havea righteous man
38:38like you by my side.
38:40If you wish to serve your country,
38:42I shall surely promote you.
38:48Taiyuan has been at war for years.
38:50We now lack soldiers and generals.
38:53At present, the border is short on grain.
38:58This is the document demanding grain.
39:03I intend to promote you to Company Commander
39:05to escort the grain and pay.
39:07What do you say?
39:27The Mountain is easy to defend and hard to attack.
39:29They have a large force.
39:30Shi Xulong fears them greatly.
39:36Shi Lun!
39:40I will kill you!
39:42Fugang, we owe you so much this time.
39:45Why did you agree to escort the grain and pay?
39:47Didn't you say they demand supplies from both sides?
39:51There's definitely something fishy about this.
39:54I want to try
39:56to find out the truth.
39:59Besides,
40:01I don't trust anyone else to do it.
40:05I've known the feeling
40:08of being trapped and helpless.
40:11I've been there.
40:17By the way,
40:18Xiuying and her mother must have reached Mountain.
40:24Shi Lun didn't bring anyone back,
40:25so they must have made it.
40:28Fugang,
40:30how do you have connections with Erlong Mountain?
40:34It's a long story.
40:36Come.
40:41Can you manage with such bad injuries?
40:44It's nothing.
40:44Drink up, brothers!
40:50Second Leader, why do you keep fiddling with that thing?
40:53Come on, keep drinking!
40:56You just got here, you don't know.
40:58Miss Yueying gave it to him when they were kids.
41:01He treasures that old whistle like it's gold.
41:05Second Leader, I'll say something.
41:07The old master doesn't have much time left.
41:09Logically,
41:10the position of new master should be yours.
41:13Exactly!
41:13Where did Wang Fugang come from at this time?
41:16If we choose a new master,
41:17it has to be you, Second Leader.
41:19The brothers won't accept anyone else.
41:20Right?
41:21You're right.
41:24If the old master is gone, there's still Yueying.
41:26Erlong Mountain is still here.
41:36Second Leader, don't be angry.
41:39We brothers
41:40are just speaking our minds.
41:42Miss Yueying is a woman, after all.
41:45She can't lead Erlong Mountain.
41:47Anyone with eyes can see that.
41:49You two were meant to be together.
41:51You need to take the initiative.
41:53Let's go drink.
41:55Yes.
41:56Come on, brothers, keep drinking!
42:15Hurry through!
42:39We are heroes of Erlong Mountain!
42:41We want grain, not your lives!
42:42If you want to live,
42:43get out of here!
42:43Run!
43:17Fugang,
43:19I entrust Yueying to you.
43:24Treat her well.
43:28After I'm gone,
43:31you shall be the master of the stronghold.
43:35The two of you must lead
43:42all our brothers well.
43:49Old Master!
43:50Father!
43:52Father! Father! Father!
44:10In life or death,
44:13I will follow you, General.
44:15Well done.
44:17Kuang Zhong!
44:54I trusted Kuang Zhong so deeply,
44:57yet he colluded with the bandits to rob my grain.
45:01I was truly wrong about him.
45:04Order!
45:05Assemble the troops!
45:07We must wipe out Erlong Mountain!
45:10Yes!
45:15(Memorial Rite) Ever since I was a child,
45:18my father told me
45:22that my future husband would be named Wang Fugang.
45:25(Spirit Tablet of Late Father Guan Shouyi)
45:26From then on,
45:28the three characters Wang Fugang
45:32were carved into my fate.
45:37I imagined what you looked like countless times,
45:42longing for you to appear.
45:45But all this has gone on for too long.
45:49Far too long.
45:55Hope
45:58is like this yellow paper in my hand.
46:02As it burns,
46:07it turns to ash.
46:12I live like a shadow puppet.
46:16How to sing my lines,
46:21how to act my part
46:24is never up to me.
46:31Why did you come?
46:35Second Leader.
46:36He says he's a friend of Wang Fugang.
46:38He asks to see our master.
46:39Brother,
46:40what business do you have with our master?
46:42I've heard you heroes rob the rich to help the poor
46:45and fight the Oirats.
46:47Why did you rob the grain I sent to the front?
46:49Grain and supplies?
46:52Brother,
46:53I think you've misunderstood.
46:55Erlong Mountain did not steal your supplies.
46:58We have three rules: we never rob three kinds of people.
47:00First, no robbing the poor, monks, or women.
47:04Second, no robbing ferrymen, postmen, woodcutters, or doctors.
47:08Third, no robbing disaster relief grain or border supplies.
47:12Brother Kuang Zhong,
47:15I've only been gone a few days,
47:17and you've lost the supplies and gotten into such trouble.
47:22I rushed up the mountain
47:23without saying goodbye to the brothers.
47:25I never thought I'd see you here today.
47:28The matter of the supplies
47:30really has nothing to do with Erlong Mountain.
47:31Since he's your friend,
47:34you entertain him.
47:46About Mother's death,
47:49it was my carelessness.
47:57But it's dangerous for you to pretend to be Wang Fugang.
48:00Someone is pretending to be us and robbing the supplies.
48:03This will bring disaster to Erlong Mountain.
48:06You can't stay here.
48:08You should worry about yourself.
48:10Losing the supplies is a capital offense.
48:16Xiuying.
48:17Stay out of my business.
48:18Leave.
48:32(Erlong Mountain)
48:39(Datong, Shanxi Shanxi Regional Military Commission)
48:45Kuang Zhong asks to see Lord Wang.
48:47A single arrowhead alone
48:49can't prove Shi Xulong's guilt.
48:52(Wang Yuanlong) That secret room you mentioned
48:54may hold proof of his treason,
48:56or it may not.
48:58My lord,
48:59there is one place
49:01that must have it.
49:03(Memorial Rite) Leaders,
49:06by my father's dying wish, Wang Fugang
49:11is the master of the stronghold.
49:15He is...
49:16He is the master!
49:23Brothers,
49:23Miss Yueying,
49:25now that the old master has passed,
49:26the position of new master
49:28should pass to the Second Leader.
49:30Exactly! He's only been here a few days!
49:32And he wants to be master?
49:34What if he's a useless fool?
49:35Erlong Mountain will fall apart!
49:37Right!
49:41Brother Fugang,
49:43we should obey the old master's last words.
49:46But you've just arrived.
49:48The brothers don't know you.
49:51The master of the stronghold
49:52holds the fate of our mountain.
49:55Brothers,
49:56we speak plainly.
49:57Don't take it to heart.
49:58If you want to be master,
50:00you must beat our Second Leader first.
50:02Yes! Second Leader,
50:04fight him!
50:05Fight! Fight! Fight!
50:14Brothers,
50:16I am willing to spar with Brother Daqing.
50:19Before the old master's spirit,
50:22I, Wang Fugang, swear:
50:24If I cannot defeat Brother Daqing,
50:26I will leave the mountain at once,
50:29and never set foot on Erlong Mountain again.
50:34I gladly accept.
50:39Well fought.
52:13(Hall of Brotherhood)
52:19(Taiyuan)
52:24What's your name?
52:25(Wanted)
52:26Liu Jie.
52:27Where do you live?
52:29Banpo Street.
52:33Who's there?
52:36It's me.
52:43Wanted posters of you are all over the city.
52:44How dare you come back?
52:46You, the son-in-law of Erlong Mountain,
52:47can walk around openly.
52:49Why shouldn't I dare to return?
52:52I've been to Erlong Mountain.
52:58I have achieved nothing so far.
53:00I'm ashamed to face the old master and Yueying.
53:03Besides,
53:04Shi Xulong has always seen Erlong Mountain as a threat.
53:07If anything happens,
53:08I can act as an insider here.
53:13The old master passed away from illness.
53:20Erlong Mountain did not steal the grain this time.
53:23The raiders' moves and tactics are very familiar
53:27to the Oirats.
53:30Besides, the route for the grain escort
53:32was known by only one other person besides me:
53:34Shi Xulong.
53:36You mean Shi Xulong is colluding with the enemy?
53:38This is no small matter.
53:40We must get to the bottom of it.
53:42We must find a way into that secret room.
53:44Alright.
53:46Shi Xulong has begun assembling his troops.
53:49Furthermore, Assistant Commissioner Wang Yuanlong
53:50has arrived in Taiyuan over the grain incident.
53:52A battle is inevitable.
53:54Tell Erlong Mountain to prepare as soon as possible.
53:58Lord Wang, you've traveled a long and arduous journey.
54:00You've worked tirelessly for the safety of our Ming Dynasty.
54:03I deeply admire you.
54:05You flatter me, Lord Shi.
54:07Shanxi has been repeatedly raided by the Oirats in recent years.
54:11Only Taiyuan remains safe and stable.
54:14This is all thanks to you, Lord Shi.
54:18You're too kind, Lord Wang.
54:20This is not my achievement alone.
54:23It is because we unite to fight the enemy
54:25that we have achieved this.
54:28Unfortunately,
54:29You can guard against external enemies not a traitor.
54:32You've spared no effort to defend against the Oirats,
54:35only to have your grain robbed by Erlong Mountain.
54:39Lord Wang,
54:40I will lead the army to wipe out Erlong Mountain.
54:43I will give an explanation to the border soldiers,
54:45and restore peace to the people of Taiyuan.
54:49If that's true,
54:50that would be excellent.
54:54(Tomb of Late Father Guan Shouyi)
55:11(Tomb of Late Father Guan Shouyi)
55:18Where are you going?
55:20I'll wander the world.
55:23Since I was little,
55:25besides my father,
55:28you've cared for me the most.
55:31And now you're leaving too.
55:34Will Erlong Mountain
55:36ever be the same again?
55:45Just go.
55:47This is so unfair to you.
55:52I've grown up now.
55:55I should learn to bear
55:58some things on my own.
56:01I will take good care of them in the stronghold.
56:05And I won't let you worry.
56:08If one day you grow tired of wandering,
56:14Erlong Mountain will always be your home.
56:19And I will always be your family.
56:41You've come at the right time.
56:43Xiuying,
56:44I know you want to use Erlong Mountain to avenge your parents.
56:46But think carefully.
56:47Erlong Mountain alone
56:48may not be able to hold off Shi Xulong.
56:50Besides,
56:51you're only the master by pretending to be someone else.
56:53How long can you keep this up?
56:55When the truth comes out,
56:57how will you save your own life?
56:59It's not too late to turn back.
57:00You should leave while you can.
57:03What I, Chen Xiuying, choose to do
57:05is none of your business!
57:07My life or death is none of your concern!
57:15I am not you.
57:16If I can only live by crawling,
57:18I would rather die!
57:34D*mn it!
57:36We didn't do this!
57:37But they're blaming us anyway!
57:39Let's fight them to the death!
57:40They have so many men.
57:41How can we possibly fight them?
57:42We can't hide.
57:43We can't win in a fight.
57:47We can't run from this.
57:50But we may not lose if we fight.
57:53What do you mean?
57:55An army is not valued by its size,
57:57but by its discipline.
57:58A commander is not valued by bravery, but by strategy.
58:00Erlong Mountain has steep, dangerous paths.
58:02It's easy to defend and hard to attack.
58:03As long as we are united against the enemy,
58:05even if Shi Xulong has thousands of troops,
58:08breaking through will be no easy task.
58:13Leaders,
58:14starting today,
58:15strengthen our defenses,
58:16and intensify our training.
58:18We must not be careless for a single thing.
58:20We must not slack off for a single moment.
58:30The Second Leader is here!
58:32Second Leader!
58:34Second Leader!
58:40Second Leader!
58:44Second Leader!
58:46Second Leader!
58:49Receive the Master's order!
58:53Receive the Master's order!
59:01Wang Fugang, acting on Lord Shi's orders,
59:03is here to store confidential documents.
59:51A great battle is approaching.
59:52Everyone, get ready!
59:54Get the wood ready at once!
59:55(Erlong Mountain)
1:00:00One!
1:00:02Two!
1:00:05Three!
1:00:07Four!
1:00:12Two!
1:00:15Three!
1:00:17Four!
1:00:33This soldier Kuang Zhong
1:00:36kneels and pays homage to the General.
1:00:44General!
1:00:46May you and the brothers rest peacefully in the afterlife.
1:00:50I was careless and negligent,
1:00:53which led to the madam's tragic death.
1:00:56I am ashamed.
1:00:58I deserve a thousand deaths.
1:01:01I have lived in hiding for five years and achieved nothing.
1:01:04I have failed to repay your great kindness, General.
1:01:08From now on, I will stay by Miss Xiuying's side,
1:01:12protecting her with my life,
1:01:14and keeping her completely safe.
1:01:27Who exactly are you?
1:01:30I was General Chen's personal guard.
1:01:33If you were my father's guard,
1:01:35where were you when he died?
1:01:37Why are you the only one who survived?
1:01:39Five years ago,
1:04:13Back then, they only said my father was reckless and underestimated the enemy,
1:04:16leading to the entire army's annihilation.
1:04:21Poor Mother...
1:04:24She never learned the truth about Father's death until her last breath.
1:04:30When I returned from the battlefield,
1:04:33I heard rumors that Shi Xulong colluded secretly with the Oirats
1:04:36and caused General Chen's death.
1:04:38So I resolved to join Shi Xulong's troops
1:04:41to find proof that Shi Xulong killed General Chen.
1:04:43And clear General Chen's name.
1:04:45Have you found anything?
1:04:50We've confirmed Shi Xulong is colluding with the enemy,
1:04:52but we lack conclusive proof.
1:04:54I've asked someone to look into it.
1:04:58Then this bow...
1:05:00Why did you leave it secretly at my house?
1:05:02Why not just tell me the truth?
1:05:09I was General Chen's personal guard,
1:05:13but I failed to protect him.
1:05:17I let him be slandered,
1:05:18and die with a false charge.
1:05:21And I could do nothing.
1:05:25How could I face Madam with honor?
1:05:28How could I face you?
1:05:37How have you lived these past five years?
1:05:43The General was like a second father to me.
1:05:46I could never repay his kindness, even if I were torn to pieces.
1:06:00My home is in Yingzhou.
1:06:04When the Oirat army invaded our Ming Dynasty,
1:06:06they burned, killed and looted,
1:06:08committing all kinds of atrocities.
1:06:10When the people of Yingzhou cried out to heaven for help
1:06:12and got no answer,
1:06:14a hero came.
1:06:16He led his troops to repel the Oirats,
1:06:19and saved the people of Yingzhou from misery.
1:06:21He is your father.
1:06:24General Chen Zheng.
1:06:44(Defend the territory of the Ming Dynasty)
1:06:50(Protect the people of the Ming Dynasty)
1:07:12(Erlong Mountain)
1:07:19Brother Kuang Zhong!
1:07:20Something's wrong!
1:07:23Don't move.
1:07:25I'm being followed.
1:07:26Give this to Kuang Zhong.
1:07:27Tell him there are too many letters in the secret chamber
1:07:29to check one by one.
1:07:30Tell him to get what he needs as soon as possible.
1:07:43This is Father's ring.
1:07:45Five years ago, when we were trapped at Niubei Mountain,
1:07:48General Chen Zheng used this ring as his token
1:07:50to call for reinforcements.
1:07:51But afterwards, Shi Xulong denied receiving any letters.
1:07:55If this ring is here,
1:07:56the letters must be here too.
1:07:57These letters are ironclad proof that Shi Xulong delayed military action
1:08:00and caused General Chen Zheng's death.
1:08:02Brother Fugang is being targeted by Shi Xulong.
1:08:04Something could happen to him at any time.
1:08:05We have to save him quickly.
1:08:08Go back and tell Fugang:
1:08:10I will go to get the letters and bring him up the mountain either tonight or tomorrow night.
1:08:13Use the owl's cry as the signal.
1:08:15Alright.
1:08:17Brother Kuang Zhong, the more urgent this is,
1:08:19the more careful we must be.
1:08:21Send someone to scout the situation tonight first.
1:08:23I'll go to Taiyuan with you tomorrow night.
1:08:25You are the master.
1:08:26You can't act rashly.
1:08:27If you enter the city alone,
1:08:29trying to steal the letters and save someone,
1:08:30I'm afraid you can't do both.
1:08:33I'm a fake Wang Fugang.
1:08:35If anything happens to the real Wang Fugang,
1:08:36I'll be so sorry to Yueying.
1:08:39No, we have to tell Yueying the truth about this.
1:09:18Speak your mind.
1:09:23I need to take a few brothers
1:09:25into Taiyuan to pick someone up.
1:09:27With the two armies facing each other,
1:09:28for the leader to leave...
1:09:29It's an emergency.
1:09:31I'll go and come back quickly.
1:09:32It's so urgent,
1:09:34yet no one knows who you're going to pick up.
1:09:38Wang Fugang.
1:09:41What did you say?
1:09:43That's right.
1:09:44The son of the old master's old friend,
1:09:46your fiancé.
1:09:47Wang Fugang.
1:09:52Then who are you?
1:09:55My name is Chen Xiuying.
1:09:57I'm a woman, just like you.
1:10:00You're a woman?
1:10:08Yueying!
1:10:10What are you doing?
1:10:10I need to see if you're really a man or a woman.
1:10:12So I don't get tricked again.
1:10:13I'm being honest with you this time.
1:10:14Yueying, you have to trust me.
1:10:16You lied to me first.
1:10:17Unless I see it for myself,
1:10:18I will never believe you.
1:10:37Liar!
1:10:38Let me explain!
1:10:39I'll kill you!
1:10:41Yueying, it can't afford any chaos right now.
1:10:43If this continues,
1:10:44Wang Fugang's identity will be exposed,
1:10:46and Erlong Mountain will fall apart.
1:10:51When I had nowhere to go and came to Erlong Mountain,
1:10:53I really was sent here by Wang Fugang.
1:10:56It was a misunderstanding that I was mistaken for him.
1:10:58Then why didn't you explain and
1:10:59leave Erlong Mountain?
1:11:01My mother had just been killed.
1:11:03After being mistaken for Wang Fugang,
1:11:04I did want to use Erlong Mountain's power to avenge her.
1:11:07It was my fault.
1:11:08But you not only lied to me and the brothers,
1:11:10you lied to my father too.
1:11:14I swore in front of the old master's spirit
1:11:16that you would be my own sister.
1:11:19Wang Fugang is in danger now.
1:11:21I can't keep it from you any longer.
1:11:23The top priority is to rescue him first.
1:11:26How can I trust you again?
1:11:28Tomorrow night, I'll take some brothers down the mountain.
1:11:30I'll bring you the real Wang Fugang.
1:11:32After that, you can do whatever you want with me.
1:11:37Come with me.
1:11:42Brother Kuang!
1:11:42Is everything okay in there?
1:11:45Everything's fine.
1:11:46Just a lovers' quarrel.
1:11:49Get back to work.
1:11:50Let's go.
1:12:03I'm going with you.
1:12:05Yueying, you should stay and command Erlong Mountain.
1:12:07If anything happens to you,
1:12:09I'll let the old master down even more.
1:12:11But if anything happens to the real Wang Fugang,
1:12:13my father will never rest in peace.
1:12:18We leave tonight.
1:12:22(Taiyuan)
1:12:35It's Gao Peng.
1:13:05Xiuying, take Yueying and the Second Leader
1:13:07to meet Brother Fugang.
1:13:09Brother Kuang!
1:13:10Where are you going?
1:13:10I'm going to get something very important.
1:13:13Remember, after you rescue Fugang,
1:13:15make some noise.
1:13:16Stay here and wait for us.
1:13:20Let's go.
1:14:22Wang Fugang!
1:14:29Xiuying!
1:14:47You're Wang Fugang?
1:14:50You're Sister Yueying, right?
1:14:52It's me.
1:14:56Yueying!
1:14:58Wang Fugang!
1:14:59Yueying!
1:15:05Quick! Surround them!
1:15:13Wang Fugang!
1:15:15I never thought you'd become Shi Xulong's lackey!
1:15:17An official is an official.
1:15:19A bandit is a bandit.
1:15:20Did you really think I'd side with a bunch of bandits like you?
1:15:23Wang Fugang!
1:15:25My father searched for you for over ten years.
1:15:27What for?
1:15:30For our arranged marriage!
1:15:31I feel sick every time I think of this engagement.
1:15:36You live in the dark yourselves,
1:15:37and you want to drag me down with you.
1:15:40And another thing:
1:15:41Your father is dead.
1:15:44What a pity.
1:15:47All these years,
1:15:49there wasn't a day I didn't want
1:15:50to kill that old bastard with my own hands.
1:15:52If it weren't for you,
1:15:54my family wouldn't have died such a tragic death.
1:15:58And I wouldn't have to live in humiliation.
1:15:59All these years,
1:16:01it was you
1:16:04who ruined my family,
1:16:06and ruined me.
1:16:12I truly feel it wasn't worth it for my father.
1:16:14I'll send you to him right now.
1:16:18Leave no one alive!
1:16:20Fight our way out!
1:16:29You men, guard this area well!
1:17:09Daqing, clear the way!
1:17:10Yes!
1:17:43Yueying!
1:18:25(To Shi Xulong, Personal)
1:18:29(To Shi Xulong, Personal)
1:19:00Kuang Zhong!
1:19:02What you've been looking for
1:19:05was burned to ashes
1:19:07five years ago.
1:19:14Don't let them escape!
1:19:29Catch them!
1:19:32Hurry!
1:20:05Daqing!
1:20:16Run!
1:20:25Daqing!
1:20:28Run!
1:20:31Hurry!
1:20:33Daqing!
1:20:34Go!
1:20:56Go, go!
1:21:22Fugang!
1:21:25Where are Xiuying and the others?
1:21:28All of you, leave.
1:21:29Yes.
1:21:43I'm asking you where are Xiuying and the others?
1:21:47Soon...
1:21:51You'll see them soon enough.
1:21:59I see now.
1:22:03From the moment I rescued Xiuying,
1:22:06all the way until she was chased out of the city,
1:22:11you were the one who betrayed us all along.
1:22:20I wanted Shi Lun to promote me,
1:22:23but he wouldn't.
1:22:29So I had to go to Shi Xulong.
1:22:31Lord Garrison Commander.
1:22:35Lord Garrison Commander!
1:22:38I have urgent business to report!
1:22:40I told you both sides need grain and supplies.
1:22:44I already knew back then
1:22:45that Shi Xulong was colluding with the Oirats.
1:22:49You only told me both sides wanted the supplies
1:22:55just to make me suspicious.
1:22:59You tricked me into escorting the supplies.
1:23:06Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?
1:23:08My lord, let me finish.
1:23:13Since you have secret dealings with the Oirats,
1:23:16you can have them sneak across Yanmen Mountain
1:23:18to rob the supplies bound for the border.
1:23:20Then frame Erlong Mountain.
1:23:22This plan kills three birds with one stone.
1:23:25Go on.
1:23:27I know
1:23:29that Erlong Mountain has long been your greatest worry.
1:23:31And they are highly praised by the people of Taiyuan.
1:23:35But once you prove they robbed the supplies,
1:23:39you will have a just cause
1:23:41to wipe out Erlong Mountain.
1:23:44Wiping out Erlong Mountain is easier said than done.
1:23:47Although Erlong Mountain is easy to defend and hard to attack,
1:23:50you can have Kuang Zhong escort the supplies,
1:23:53then force him to go up the mountain.
1:23:55Then I have a plan
1:23:58that will make all the bandits of Erlong Mountain
1:23:59walk right into the trap.
1:24:02You have the ability to do that?
1:24:05I stake my life on it.
1:24:09That ring...
1:24:22Wang Fugang pays homage to Lord Garrison Commander.
1:24:39What a pity.
1:24:41You were just a little too late.
1:24:44You let those bandit leaders escape.
1:24:49You beast!
1:24:54I'm a beast?
1:25:01My Wang family has been loyal
1:25:04for generations!
1:25:08Yet we were implicated by a bunch of bandits.
1:25:15My entire family was executed!
1:25:19Was my father not loyal?
1:25:21Was Chen Zheng not loyal?
1:25:24How is their death any different from that of a beast?
1:25:36Kuang Zhong,
1:25:39you shouldn't have saved me.
1:25:44You think I'd be grateful to you?
1:25:51I hate you.
1:25:54You saved me,
1:25:56only to let me live a humiliating life,
1:25:59bullied and tormented.
1:26:02I've finally realized
1:26:04in this world,
1:26:08only those who hold great power
1:26:11can survive.
1:26:14I just want to live!
1:26:17Am I wrong?
1:26:26You want to live?
1:26:31Didn't General Chen Zheng want to live?
1:26:34Didn't my two thousand fallen brothers
1:26:37want to live?
1:26:41Yet I was the only one who survived.
1:26:45And I've lived a life worse than death.
1:26:47Because every time I close my eyes,
1:26:48I see their faces, eyes wide in death.
1:26:53They fought bloody battles,
1:26:54died on the battlefield,
1:26:56thinking they were defending the Ming's territory,
1:26:59thinking they were protecting the Ming people.
1:27:02In the end,
1:27:04they became tools
1:27:06for you cowards to fight for power and profit.
1:27:10How pathetic!
1:27:14I fight for the nation's hatred.
1:27:18You only seek personal revenge.
1:27:21You're beyond redemption.
1:27:24End my suffering.
1:27:27Kill me.
1:27:34For now,
1:27:36you're more useful alive than dead.
1:27:47Xiuying,
1:27:50don't come.
1:27:53You mustn't come.
1:28:05I never thought my father's decade-long hope
1:28:09would end in such a despicable man.
1:28:13I hate myself
1:28:16for hesitating,
1:28:18for holding back.
1:28:24If only I'd had the courage
1:28:26to say no to this unjust world back then,
1:28:30Daqing wouldn't have died.
1:28:42What if Brother Kuang doesn't come back either?
1:28:44Then I'll lead an attack on Taiyuan.
1:28:50Xiuying,
1:28:55I really envy you.
1:29:00You can risk everything
1:29:02to do what you want.
1:29:05But in this world,
1:29:08how many women are trapped by their parents' orders
1:29:11and matchmakers' words?
1:29:13I can't choose this world,
1:29:15and I can't change it either.
1:29:18I just want to be myself.
1:29:20No one can truly be themselves.
1:29:24Not men, not women.
1:29:30You're just a firefly in the dark night.
1:29:35You fly by,
1:29:39and the darkness returns.
1:29:42Even if I can only light up a tiny space,
1:29:44I'll hold onto that small light.
1:29:48The sky will dawn eventually.
1:29:55Report!
1:29:58Speak quickly!
1:29:59Brother Kuang has been captured!
1:30:01He's hanging from the city gate!
1:30:03Gather all the brothers!
1:30:04Yes!
1:30:08Thank you, Yueying.
1:30:12In my whole life,
1:30:15I've never chosen anything for myself.
1:30:20At the very least,
1:30:23let me choose how to die.
1:30:37(Erlong Mountain)
1:30:41Brothers,
1:30:42I've let you all down.
1:30:49I am not Wang Fugang,
1:30:52nor am I worthy to be your master.
1:31:05She's a woman?
1:31:12I am Chen Xiuying.
1:31:13I was driven to Erlong Mountain by Shi Lun's oppression.
1:31:16By a twist of fate,
1:31:17I took the name Wang Fugang and became the master.
1:31:20I have a blood feud
1:31:24with the Shi family, who killed my parents.
1:31:28And our brothers were framed by the Shis
1:31:32for robbing the grain and supplies,
1:31:33wrongfully labeled as unjust outlaws.
1:31:35Yesterday,
1:31:37our Second Leader fell into a trap,
1:31:40killed by the traitor Shi.
1:31:41The Second Leader is dead!
1:31:45Shi Xulong colludes with the enemy and betrays his country,
1:31:47exploits the people,
1:31:49and has brought suffering to the people of Taiyuan.
1:31:52If we hadn't been oppressed by that official,
1:31:54how would we brothers have become outlaws?
1:31:58Yet the Shi family keep pressing us hard,
1:32:01determined to destroy Erlong Mountain.
1:32:05Our roots are in Taiyuan,
1:32:08our ancestors have lived here for generations.
1:32:11Though we are outlaws now,
1:32:13how can we watch Taiyuan be destroyed by them?
1:32:18Rather than wait here on the mountain to die,
1:32:20we should storm Taiyuan,
1:32:22kill the corrupt officials,
1:32:24and uphold justice for heaven.
1:32:26Even if we die under the city walls,
1:32:28we will die with no regrets.
1:32:30The people of Taiyuan will watch us,
1:32:34and so will the people of the whole empire.
1:32:39This attack on Taiyuan
1:32:41means certain death.
1:32:43I, Chen Xiuying, dare not force anyone
1:32:45to risk their lives with me.
1:32:49All the gold and silver of the stronghold is here.
1:32:52If any brother has second thoughts
1:32:55and wants to leave now,
1:32:56I will present you with gold and silver
1:32:59and send you down the mountain with respect.
1:33:01Bring wine!
1:33:11Even if I ride alone today,
1:33:13I will fight my way into Taiyuan!
1:33:15If any brother will go with me,
1:33:17drink this bowl of wine!
1:33:32Kill the corrupt officials!
1:33:34Uphold justice for heaven!
1:33:38Kill the corrupt officials!
1:33:39Uphold justice for heaven!
1:33:45Report!
1:33:47The bandits from Erlong Mountain are attacking!
1:33:50Good!
1:33:53Lord Wang, take command on the city wall.
1:33:55I will personally lead the army
1:33:57to wipe them out.
1:34:25(Taiyuan)
1:35:05Father!
1:35:07After we wipe out Erlong Mountain,
1:35:09your greatest trouble will be gone.
1:35:12Wang Fugang!
1:35:14You have made a great contribution in this battle.
1:35:16Thank you, my lord.
1:36:20Father, I'm going to win merit!
1:36:22Lun'er, no!
1:36:59Stop!
1:37:00Halt!
1:37:02Stop fighting!
1:37:02Halt, halt!
1:37:12Shi Xulong!
1:37:14Shi Lun's life is in my hands.
1:37:16His life or death is up to you.
1:37:19Father!
1:37:19Save me!
1:37:23Soldiers!
1:37:26I am Chen Xiuying, daughter of former Garrison Commander Chen Zheng.
1:37:30My father guarded this land for over ten years,
1:37:33loyal to the country.
1:37:35Five years ago, Shi Xulong colluded secretly with the Oirats,
1:37:38framed loyal officials,
1:37:40leading my father to die at the border,
1:37:42his body never recovered.
1:37:44Shi Xulong!
1:37:45Is what I just said true or not?
1:37:48You're talking nonsense!
1:37:50Father, save me!
1:37:51Save me!
1:37:52Father!
1:37:58Lun'er, as a man,
1:38:02why fear death?
1:38:06Father!
1:38:08You are my father!
1:38:12Fine!
1:38:13I'll talk! I'll talk!
1:38:15It was my father
1:38:16who colluded with the Oirats
1:38:17and stole the grain and supplies.
1:38:19Then how did my father Chen Zheng die?
1:38:21It was also my father.
1:38:23My father wanted to seize the position of Garrison Commander.
1:38:26He knew the Oirats hated Chen Zheng,
1:38:29so he joined forces with the Oirats to kill Chen Zheng.
1:38:56Load the rounds.
1:39:58(Chen)
1:40:10(Chen)
1:40:19(To the Leader of the Oirats, Respectfully Written by Shi Xulong)
1:40:26You are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
1:40:31Your duty
1:40:34is to defend the territory of the Ming Dynasty,
1:40:38and protect the people of the Ming Dynasty.
1:40:42What are you doing?
1:40:50You can kill me,
1:40:53but can you kill justice?
1:40:56Can you kill your conscience?
1:41:03The Shi father and son
1:41:07exploit the local people,
1:41:09collude with the enemy and betray the country.
1:41:14Can you not see?
1:41:17Can you not hear?
1:41:20Did any of you
1:41:23stand up and resist?
1:41:33I, Chen Xiuying, am a woman,
1:41:39and I despise you all.
1:41:47One hundred and forty thousand men laid down their arms,
1:41:51Not a single one among them was a real man.
1:42:00Fire!
1:42:12My lord.
1:42:19Whoever disobeys the order will be executed at once!
1:42:24Shi Xulong!
1:42:27Shi Xulong!
1:42:28You colluded secretly with the Oirats.
1:42:30Do you think there are no men of ours in the Oirat army?
1:42:34These are letters just obtained from the Oirat camp.
1:42:37The evidence is conclusive.
1:42:39See for yourself.
1:42:46(Taiyuan)
1:42:51Shi Xulong!
1:42:52You colluded with the enemy and betrayed your country,
1:42:53your crime is unforgivable.
1:42:54Surrender now!
1:42:57Chen Xiuying!
1:43:15(Protect the People of the Ming Dynasty)
1:43:42(Chen)
1:43:44Chen Xiuying!
1:43:47This arrow is from my father to you.
1:45:42Chen Xiuying is appointed Garrison Commander of Taiyuan.
1:45:47Kuang Zhong is appointed Assistant Garrison Prefect.
1:45:51March at once!
1:45:52Reinforce Yanmen Pass!
1:46:24Father!
