EP05 ENG SUB (1994) The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants

What happened?

Have you found Third Bro?

There's no one left in that place,

Did something go wrong?

Old Fifth Bro, take Lady Min and the Prince to Xiankong Island.

Me and Fourth Bro will ask about Third Bro's whereabouts.

This...

This isn't good.

Fifth Little Bro.

A-Min's injury is nothing to scoff at!

Take her back quick and treat her wounds.

Second Bro, let's go.

Lady Min, let's get on our way.

Careful.

Take a look.

They just left from this inn.

What do you think?

I wonder how Tu Shan was able to gather that many goons at once.

Unless...

Unless they had a base outside.

Like this inn.

Go in and take a look.

Guests, please come inside.

Paying respects to Your Highness.

Your Highness, what is going on?

Wu Liang.

At which point did you slip up?

The Emperor already suspects you.

Slip up?

I did not!

You still say that?

Just now the palace guards ordered you to be dragged out and cut down.

Luckily, I held him back.

I just saved your life.

Your Highness, that...

What should we do now?

At present, the Emperor has ordered me to interrogate you.

Your Highness will interrogate this servant?

Then this servant won't be found guilty!

No.

You must yet admit to your crime.

Why?

His Majesty already suspects you.

This Prince also wants to come clean to the Emperor.

Soon, in the courtroom,

All you must do is admit that this entire affair was your doing.

Your Highness.

If this servant confesses guilt, that...

That will send my head flying!

Set your mind at ease.

The one to admit fault is rightfully you.

As for decapitation, His Highness will find someone on death row to take your place.

That...

Wouldn't that make it impossible for this servant to continue in my role as lead steward?

After this affair,

You still believe you can remain in the palace?

That...!

Don't be anxious.

His Highness has already thought about your future career prospects.

Here, you are a steward.

At His Highness' place,

You'll be lead steward and his left-hand man.

Wait for His Highness to conquer the world.

He'll even make you the Duke of Ding state.

Such a high position and great wealth,

You never even dreamt of it.

Alright.

So it's settled.

Yes, sir.

Your Highness,

What is this?

This is a reward from His Highness,

To help you recover from your shock.

Drink it.

Your Highness,

This slave doesn't want to drink it.

Why not?

You suspect this glass is poisoned, don't you?

You use a villain's heart to judge the intentions of a noble man.

His Highness is the type of man to speak kindly to your face.

Who is the person who resorts to treachery behind one's back?

You haven't drank this cup of wine.

I'll drink it.

You ungrateful creature.

We shall depart.

Your Highness, don't go.

This slave deserves to die, I will drink!

This slave wants to drink, Your Highness!

This slave will drink, Your Highness.

Good.

Your Highness, this slave is drinking!

You see, this slave is truly drinking!

Your Highness, this slave is drinking!

Your Highness...

Mister Li.

Right here.

Do you suppose it worked?

Please don't worry, Your Highness.

Tempt them with profit.

Move them with emotion.

Can never go wrong.

Reporting to Judge Bao.

Bodyguard Zhan has arrived.

Bodyguard Zhan.

Quickly, summon the doctor.

Yes, sir.

Good.

Doctor.

How is Bodyguard Zhan's injury?

He was stabbed through muscle and bone.

He must rest for a while,

In order to recover.

Understood.

See the doctor out.

Please.

Yes, sir.

Right this way, Doctor.

Judge Bao.

I've caused you trouble.

Don't speak that way.

Bodyguard Zhan.

Who hurt you?

It was Tu Shan and his goons.

But I haven't seen these people before.

They were nothing like the local authorities.

Oh?

What of that girl Min and the Crown Prince?

Lady Min also suffered an injury.

She was rescued by Bai Yutang and the others.

Judge Bao.

Tu Shan seems determined to win.

One has no choice but to believe he has some other scheme.

You just relax and recover for the time being.

I will immediately seek audience with the Emperor,

And report everything.

Judge Bao.

Your subordinate will accompany you.

Nay.

You are gravely injured.

The doctor said you must not walk around.

It's nothing.

Judge Bao will face the emperor,

This subordinate can provide testimony.

If this moves the emperor,

He'll revoke his order and rescue the prince.

Even if this subordinate must spill my liver and brains on the ground, it will be worth it.

Bodyguard Zhan, don't have your hopes too high.

I will go now. If it does not go well,

I fear I will follow in the dust of the Eighth Sage Prince.

Right, sir.

How did the Eighth Sage Prince die?

The Eighth Sage Prince, he...

He failed to persuade the emperor,

Ran into a pillar and died.

Then it's even more crucial for this subordinate to go.

Sir, let us depart posthaste,

While this subordinate still has the strength.

Very well.

We shall depart.

Wu Liang.

How did you design your conspiracy,

To frame Noble Consort Lan and Commander Ge Qing?

You still have not yet owned up to the facts?

Responding to Your Highness.

There has long been a grudge between this slave and Commander Ge.

Furthermore, I inadvertently learned that Commander Ge and Noble Consort Lan had a history.

I found people to impersonate them and act out a private meeting in the imperial garden,

And planned to trick His Majesty into going for a walk in the garden,

To make His Majesty believe that they were having an affair,

And sentence Commander Ge to death,

To dispel the hatred in this slave's heart.

This slave never in a million years expected,

That His Majesty would be so furious,

As to also sentence Noble Consort Lan to execution by suicide,

And order General Tu Shan to hunt and kill the crown prince!

Your Highness.

This is all the fault of this slave alone.

Your Highness, have mercy.

Wu Liang.

This Prince asks you.

Liang Xi was killed by you, then?

Indeed.

Because that Liang Xi helped Commander Ge escape,

This slave brought him death.

Your confession,

Is it true?

Every sentence is true!

Come sign the written confession to your crime.

Yes, sir.

Mister Li.

This is fine, right?

This is great.

Go ahead and sign it.

Your Highness, please take a look.

Good.

Very good.

The Emperor has arrived.

This servant, Zhao Demou, greets the Emperor. Long live the Emperor.

Rise.

I thank Your Majesty.

I was unaware that Your Majesty would suddenly arrive.

Due to this matter, I was unable to sit still.

For the sake of caution,

I believe it would be appropriate to interrogate this servant myself.

I inform Your Majesty,

I have already interrogated Wu Liang.

This servant has already made a true confession.

What did he say?

Here is Wu Liang's written confession.

I invite Your Majesty to inspect it.

Wu Liang!

What a flunkey you are.

For the sake of your own personal grudge,

You went so far as to have me kill Noble Consort Lan,

And involved the Eighth Sage Prince who ran into a pillar and died,

You deserve all the blame!

This slave deserves to die. Spare me, Your Majesty!

You still want me to spare your life?

I am dying to tear you into thousands of pieces!

Your Majesty, please calm down.

Just leave this matter to the district.

Sorry to bother you, uncle.

At Your Majesty's command.

The Emperor has set out!

I will respectfully see the Emperor off.

Executioner?

Here!

Drag Wu Liang out.

Chop his head off!

Your Highness!

Muddled...

I really am muddled!

So incompetent as to let a small man make a fool out of me.

Noble Consort Lan died unjustly.

Ge Qing was hounded to death.

I caused Eighth Sage Prince to die!

Informing Your Majesty,

A grave mistake was made, regret is useless.

Now, the Crown Prince is in exile,

Your Majesty ought to order Tu Shan to retrieve him at once.

Right.

My royal son...

My royal son.

Reporting to Your Majesty.

Judge Bao Zheng and Bodyguard Zhan have an urgent matter to report.

Declare it.

At Your Majesty's command.

Your servant, Bao Zheng,

Your servant, Zhan Zhao,

Seeking audience with the Emperor.

Long live the Emperor.

Bodyguard Zhan, you've been injured.

You may dispense with formalities.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

What matter have you come to speak to me about?

Responding to Your Majesty.

We have come regarding the matter of Noble Consort Lan and Commander Ge.

There is no need to further discuss the matter of Noble Consort Lan.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Now that Noble Consort Lan has been wrongfully killed,

That makes the Crown Prince even more innocent.

Indeed.

I am about to issue the order to recall Tu Shan,

And retrieve the Crown Prince.

Informing Your Majesty,

The Crown Prince is currently in exile.

If Your Majesty first recalls General Tu and then searches for the Crown Prince,

I fear this will go back and forth and waste time.

Better to immediately order this humble servant to find and retrieve the Crown Prince.

I am unaware of Your holy intentions.

Bodyguard Zhan.

You are wounded.

We still must search for the Crown Prince.

I fear...

Informing Your Majesty.

The Crown Prince's safety is a million times more precious than my own.

As long as the Crown Prince is returned safely,

How could this humble servant mind a few minor wounds?

Well then.

That being the case,

Zhan Zhao receives the order.

Long live the Emperor.

Your injury is so bad,

You ain't even seen any of your gang brothers.

I really have no clue how you became their eldest bro. (TN: Leader)

The Crown Prince is in trouble.

Obviously his safety is of utmost importance.

You yourself are also a citizen of the Song dynasty.

Do you not even have this one drop of loyalty?

Huh! I ain't loyal enough?

For one crown prince,

Our house went up in flames,

Came to live in this shack,

What kind of loyalty do I have?

Alright, don't lose your temper.

Forget I said anything, alright?

What are you pulling at?

Your face cloth.

This is clearly a diaper.

How can this be my face cloth?

What are you preparing these diapers for?

Are you about to give birth?

Only you know.

It's just a few days away.

I'm going to be an old man! (TN: Father in a funny way)

I really am going to be an old man!

Take a look!

My darling treasure.

Boss!

Boss, Fifth Bro is back.

Eldest Bro, we're back!

Alright,

I'm applying my own special golden ointment.

Just stay in bed a few days and you'll be good.

Thank you.

Sister-in-Law, thank you.

Hah? What are you thankin' me for?

I'm treatin' her, not you.

It's not the same? Are you still heckling me?

Husband,

Look, Fifth Bro's face is all red.

Looks like he's got a confession to make.

Old Fifth Bro.

Why don't you ask your sister-in-law to help you say something?

To say what?

You and Miss Min, yeah? (TN: I FORGOT THE WORD MISS EXISTED)

Eldest Bro.

Don't tease me.

I don't care,

But don't embarrass Miss Min.

You're such an amateur.

Being embarrassed is the fun part.

Sister-in-Law.

Miss Min, don't you think so?

Look,

You're just making fun.

What are you using all that energy for?

All that laughing will give you a cramp.

Huh?

My belly's hurtin'.

I'm about to give birth!

She's about to give birth!

Lu Xin!

Boss?

Quick, go get the midwife!

She's giving birth!

Quick, go!

My wife!

Please endure it!

Keep enduring it!

Hang in there.

Eldest Bro.

There's something I wanted to talk to you about.

Don't speak to me right now!

Even if you speak, I won't listen.

She gave birth!

Congratulations, Island Owner!

The madam gave birth to a young Island Owner for you!

She gave me a son?

Yes, it's a boy!

A very beautiful boy!

Yutang!

Did you hear that?

I have a son!

I have a son now!

Congrats, Eldest Bro.

Congratulations.

What were you saying just now?

I was saying Third Bro may have met a mishap.

What did you say?

I'm saying Third Bro threw down with Tu Shan,

And we still haven't heard news.

Second and Fourth Bro went looking for him,

But still haven't returned.

I think something's gone wrong.

What are you looking at?

Second Bro.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to see if there's a secret passage.

Why don't you go search the rest of the room?

Let me go!

Let me out of here!

Nice.

Finally, the turtle comes out of its shell! (TN: turtle in shell = coward)

Quick, let your uncle go!

If you got the guts, fight me fair!

If you don't you're a coward!

You are so delighted to reproach me.

Since you are capable, why don't you scold me again?

Coward!

Reporting to General Tu.

The Prince has an order.

He orders you to return to the palace at once.

You men, continue playing with the rat.

Yes, sir!

Tu!

The humble Tu Shan greets Your Highness. Long live the Prince.

At ease.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Tu Shan.

You may know that the first step of my plan has already succeeded.

Is Your Highness saying that Wu Liang is already dead?

Correct.

Now, the Emperor has already ordered Zhan Zhao to find and return the Crown Prince.

Therefore,

You must secretly eliminate the Crown Prince before Zhan Zhao can retrieve him,

Thus completing the second stage of our plan.

This General is at your service.

Tu Shan.

The ramifications are huge.

Are you certain about this?

This General will definitely not fail to accomplish this.

Excellent.

Be on your way.

This servant obeys.

Third Brother!

Second Bro, Fourth Bro!

Why are you guys here to join in on the fun?

Good boy,

When you grow up,

Tell daddy to teach you martial arts.

Got it?

The baby's daddy.

Look.

How handsome is this baby?

Very cute.

Look.

What nice name should we give him?

Choosing a name is a big deal.

You've got to let me ponder it.

What's the matter?

You ain't paying attention.

Do you think the son I gave birth to is no good?

What are you talking about?

Our Lu family now has a successor.

I couldn't be happier.

That's you talking for the sake of talking.

Second, Third, and Fourth Brother.

Still haven't come back.

I fear they've run into trouble.

What are you gonna do about it?

I must go look for them.

I just finished giving birth,

And you want to go?

If I don't go, my heart won't rest.

Your heart should be with me! (TN: YEAH.)

I'm worth less than your gang brothers.

Xiuxiu, (TN: her name ig?)

Don't be like this.

I'm their eldest brother. (TN: gang leader)

What about that Yutang?

Yutang will accompany me.

Great, you guys go.

Since you guys love to play with your lives.

I'm leaving.

You want to go rescue them?

My hope is to find them,

Not to go rescue,

If rescuing them is inconvenient.

After all is said and done, it's that cat's fault.

I never in a million years expected him to actually be so despicable.

No, we can't blame him.

In order to save us, he also got injured.

And the wound is nothing to make light of.

Is it?

Could it be that we misunderstood him?

I'm wondering the same.

He seems like a man of virtue,

Not like a pathetic villain, right?

Do you know?

He always treated me well.

Let's not speak too soon.

Maybe he's using the ruse of injuring himself to win the enemy's confidence.

His goal is still the Prince.

Fifth Brother.

Let's go.

Be careful.

You should let me go,

You should stay and look after Sister-in-Law.

Our brothers' business is the most important thing.

Your Sister-in-Law's temper,

Will fade after some time.

Boss.

Look.

General Tu!

What is the meaning of this?

Very simple.

You hand over the Crown Prince, I release them.

Or else I'll give the order,

To bring them death without a place of burial. (TN: idiom for a bad ending)

Don't listen to him, Eldest Bro!

Go back and protect the Crown Prince!

Third Brother!

Eldest Bro, don't come here!

There's explosives beneath us!

Island Owner Lu.

You see clearly now.

I, Tu Shan, have long said,

Never pursue an affair without certainty.

Tu!

Let them down!

The Crown Prince was rescued by me,

Let me shoulder all the blame!

Why should I?

You speak nonsense!

What I want is the Prince.

You...

Old Fifth Bro!

Leave us!

Beat their asses!

Twenty years from now you'll be known as a brave man!

He also speaks truth.

Want to give it a try?

Yutang.

Put the sword away.

Eldest Bro.

I told you, put the sword away!

Xiankong Island's Eldest Brother is insightful.

General Tu.

Allow Lu to consider your demand.

Sure.

Before the sun's rays sink below the horizon.

No waiting after the set time.

Yutang, we're leaving.

Eldest Bro!

Don't listen to him!

Don't ever in a million years give him the Prince!

As long as you look after my ma,

I'm ready to die!

Eldest Bro, you cannot give in!

What did you say?

You want to give the Crown Prince to Tu Shan?!

Miss Min.

The Crown Prince belongs to the Emperor.

We'll return the Prince to the Emperor,

And everything will be normal.

If you give the Prince to Tu Shan,

Then he'll lose his life!

If the Prince isn't handed to Tu Shan,

My three brothers will all lose their lives!

Owner Lu!

Aren't you aware that the Emperor believed the slander,

Falling into the traitor's scheme?

The truth still hasn't come to light!

How could you aid the wicked in their evil,

Ruining the Song nation?

Do you not fear becoming a sinner across all ages?

Island Owner Lu,

Can you think of no other way?

There's no other way to think of!

He who has come, comes with ill intent. (TN: unexpected/unwelcome visitor)

If Tu Shan didn't have a million-dollar plan,

He wouldn't dare act atrociously on Xiankong Island!

I can't gamble the lives of my three brothers.

Miss Min.

Not even the Emperor wants the Prince.

Why should I protect the Prince with my brothers' lives?

Give me the Prince, alright?

No!

You want the Crown Prince?

Over my dead body!

Miss Min.

The sun has already gone west.

Don't force me.

Owner Lu.

I've already said all I need to say.

You're a chivalrous man with a heart for justice.

If you truly have a conscience,

You'll kill me.

Take the Prince and go.

EXCUSE ME?

No, don't! Little Bao!

Eldest Bro!

Carry him.

Eldest Bro!

Good boy.

Your pa is already gone.

Ain't that right?

Your pa is like this.

His brothers are the most important.

When you grow up, will you be like your pa?

Good boy.

Don't mimic this from your pa.

Ma will smack your little butt.

Good boy.

Oh, you didn't go.

I didn't go.

Is it 'cause of what I just said?

Actually, I figured it out.

That gang of brothers is your treasure*. (TN: word for baby)

If I hold you back,

You'll definitely hate me.

You better go.

Good boy.

But just look out for yourself.

Why aren't you sayin' anything?

What are you lookin' outside for?

Old Second, Third, Fourth Bro...

All fell into Tu Shan's hands.

Where are they?

Tied up at the docks.

If only Tu Shan gives the order,

They'll be blown apart without even bones remaining.

Tu Shan wants to barter them for the Crown Prince, eh?

How will you decide?

I can't make up my mind.

I can't become a sinner throughout the ages.

You wanna sacrifice your brothers?

You know perfectly well that's impossible!

Then what's your plan?

What's that you're holdin' in your hand?

The Prince's swaddling clothes.

Is it possible that you're tryna put our baby to use for your plan?

This is the only way.

No... No!

Kill me, and I still won't agree!

Surrendering the Prince would be disloyal,

Sacrificing brothers is unjust.

Just help me out here.

No!

He's a piece of my flesh from my ten month pregnancy.

He's the spirit of your Lu family's descendants.

You only think of what's loyal and righteous.

Have you never thought that there are three ways to be unfilial, and havin' no sons is the worst? (TN: famous quote)

Xiuxiu.

Give him up.

We can have another birth.

Birth?

Can you guarantee that at our ages?

That's life.

That's your life! Not mine!

Lu Fang.

Your heart is cruel. (TN: YEAH WTF?!)

You'd really go so far as to think of throwing away your son's life.

He's only been alive for a day.

The sun still hasn't set.

Xiuxiu.

Time is running out.

Give the baby to me, alright?

No. Impossible.

Lu Fang,

Head of the family, I beg you.

I'm beggin' you not to deliver our baby to his death!

I beg you.

I can't let you take our baby to his death!

Xiuxiu!

If you dare take this child away today,

I will break all ties with you as husband and wife!

What are you doing?

Since you've forced me to do this,

I have no choice but to rip my robe! (TN: as a sign of breaking off a sworn relationship)

Our relationship as husband and wife is already severed.

From now on, "a grown man should get married" is irrelevant. (TN: popular phrase)

This child is the flesh and blood of my Lu family.

The right to decide is mine!

No!

Don't! That's my son!

You can't snatch my baby!

Don't!

He's my son!

You're still my son!

Don't!

My son!

Island Owner Lu is indeed a sensible man.

What of Miss Min?

How could that maid girl agree to hand over the Crown Prince?

Miss Min of course disagreed.

But I've already locked her up.

That explains it.

Hand the baby over to me.

Let them all go.

Then I'll give him to you.

I'm in no rush.

Wait for me to verify the identity, then I'll release them.

It goes without saying he's the Prince.

What is there to verify?

The Crown Prince has a cinnabar mark on the sole of his left foot.

If he has it, he is the Prince.

How do I know you aren't giving me just any child to deceive me?

Tu Shan.

Don't deliberately complicate things.

These swaddling clothes are from the Royal Family.

Is that not enough identification?

A stuffed bun's filling is not on the outside.

Being wrapped in the Royal House's swaddling clothes makes him the true Crown Prince?

You're looking down on Tu Shan.

You want to look?

I'll give you a look!

Why is he crying?

A baby crying is a common matter.

When you were small, did you not cry?

Tu Shan.

Will you finally release them or not?

Give me the baby.

Lu Fang.

If you dare try to deceive me,

Your three brothers will nevertheless meet their doom.

Wait!

The edict has arrived!

Tu Shan has received the edict!

Tu Shan has received the edict!

Long live my Emperor, long live the Emperor.

By the grace of God,

The Emperor's edict says,

I neglected my supervisory duties for a time,

Wrongly believing a swindler,

Resulting in the Crown Prince's first month to be spent in exile.

The present edict orders Zhan Zhao to give all priority to finding the Crown Prince and return him to the royal court.

General Tu Shan's mission is concluded.

Return to the palace at once.

Make no delay.

By the Emperor himself.

Long live the Emperor.

General Tu.

The Emperor's order has descended.

You should leave this place at once.

No problem.

The Crown Prince being in your or my hands makes no difference.

Retreat.

Brothers.

All good.

Eldest Bro!

Sorry.

We made you lose face.

Victory or defeat is a common thing for the soldier. (TN: idiom)

It doesn't count for anything.

Let's go home.

Farewell.

Island Owner Lu.

What is it?

Leave the Crown Prince behind.

He isn't the Crown Prince.

Please speak clearly?

My Eldest Bro said he's not the Crown Prince so he isn't the Crown Prince.

Do you think this phrase is going to injure me? (TN: ZZ BEING SASSY?)

Three-legged cat! (TN: insult meaning unskilled)

You and that Tu guy are pretty much birds of a feather!

If I don't blow your brains out today,

I'll take your surname!

Attack!

Stay your hand.

You guys can't tell he's already been injured?

Why does it concern us if he's injured?

Attack!

Stay your hand!

Don't you guys know?

If he hadn't come a moment ago,

Our little nephew would already be finished.

What little nephew?

Sister-in-Law gave birth last night.

Who Eldest Bro was holding just now was his son.

What'd you say?!

Eldest Bro came to trade his son for our lives?

No more fighting!

We'll get even with you some other day.

Our son is back.

He's all good.

My son!

How could you be anyone's father?

Good boy, don't cry. Ma is here.

Good boy. (TN: SHE SHOULD KILL LU FANG)

Why's there a red mark on his foot?

Tu Shan didn't believe he's the Crown Prince.

I quietly pressed down with my internal force.

Don't worry, it'll fade in two days.

You used your internal force?!

This is so painful for him!

You are so very cruel.

Son...

Eldest Bro! Sister-in-Law!

What are you guys doing?

Get up.

Eldest Bro. Sister-in-Law.

We really don't know how to repay you both.

You've been treating us no-good brothers really...

Really...

Hey.

Say somethin'. Don't let me talk alone!

Third Bro, just finish your sentence.

I'm still figurin' it out.

Second Bro, you talk.

Yeah, say something, Second Bro.

Okay, I'll talk.

Eldest Bro, Sister-in-Law.

You guys are supremely honourable and righteous to us.

Us three kowtow to you.

Yeah, that sentence exactly!

Come on, kowtow!

Thank you so much Eldest Bro and Sister-in-Law!

My brothers are still doing this?

Get up.

Thank you so much, Eldest Bro.

Come on, Old Second Bro.

Get up.

Don't do this.

Fourth Brother.

There's no need. Get up.

Eldest Bro.

How'd your robe get cut?

This robe...

Some people love to be cruel.

What's this about "grown men should get married"? (TN: the phrase Lu Fang used earlier)

Stop talking.

This robe is torn.

Help me patch it up and make it alright.

No way. (TN: HE NEEDS TO DIE.)

Don't be this way.

Please give me some face now. (TN: KYS)

Wait until we're in our room.

You'll get whatever you want.

(TN: EXPOSE HIS ASS)

You still wanna go to our room?

Don't imagine in your whole life it'll happen!

Unless you get down on your knees right now and take the fault.

You want me to kneel here?

Kneel!

What is it?

When I fought Tu Shan my whole body got injured!

How can this be?

Owwie...

Sister-in-Law,

Tu Shan gave us a merciless beating!

Sister-in-Law...

Help us!

Fourth Bro was hit the hardest.

It hurts...

Stop being noisy!

The one who's really hurt is here!

Fifth Little Bro,

Why'd you bring him here?

Sister-in-Law.

Men of character know clearly whom to detest and whom to show gratitude.

Were it not for him,

Your son would have met his doom long ago.

Want me to go?

It's not that easy.

General.

This Commander requests orders,

To destroy that little devil.

No.

You are an ordinary government official.

What if everything fails,

And falls into Zhan Zhao's hands?

What would you have me reply?

Go.

General.

You are the master-hand chosen by the Prince.

If this matter goes south,

I, too, will have to make excuses.

Go on.

Yes, sir.

...

TN: That. was. insane. NOT NORMAL
