Great General I'll take them all For this price you can't even buy dead bodies! I am buying dead bodies None of them will survive the battle But Commander you said... Here are 1330 pieces of silver. Count it! Thank you for the extra 10 There is no extra, 132 slaves plus you is 133 Tell them to stand up Sir, slaves do not know how to stand They only know how to kneel or crawl I shouldn't really give you this piece of meat I earned it, not you The alarm! Where are we going? Into the valley, to lure the enemy towards us When they think they have destroyed our army We shall ride down and attack What is it? Listen... Run! Flee? They have bought our lives. They'll kill us if we turn back! Remember, Kunlun I am still your master and you have to protect me with your life Yes, Master Kunlun, up the hill! Shoot These slaves have been ordered to deflect the first attack Don't let them escape! Great General Those stupid barbarians don't know this valley is shaped like a horseshoe! That slave is overtaking them and guiding them straight back! Charge! To the death! Do not look back! Keep going! Look, one of them is still alive! It's our bull!! Run! Long live the General! Long live the General! Victory! Victory! He is long dead, Why did you bother to carry him all this way? He was my master What is your name? The Slave Kunlun Where are you from? I don't know Family? No family How long have you been a slave? For as long as I can remember I want you to be my slave? I want that too Why? If I serve you, I get to eat every day From now on I am your master Yes, Master From today I don't want you to kneel I want you to run for me The Duke of the North, Wuhuan, has invaded the Imperial City Where is the King? He is trapped inside the Palace His Majesty commands you to come to his rescue at once! We shall go on ahead. Follow with the rest of the men There's that blasted tree again! We are lost Let's split up Whoever finds the way out will light a flare Yes, Master Don't be frightened General Guangming never kills the innocent You lie How did your slaves die? And you say you do not kill the innocent! If you killed me, who is going to show you the way? Who said I was going anywhere? It is best if you are not It would have been a wasted journey Oh really? Listen! There is no battle I cannot win Nobody I cannot rescue I heard about what happened at Horseshoe Valley 3,000 men destroyed 20,000. A handsome victory! But without that slave, would you have had the same success? I am afraid you cannot win forever unless you accept a wager If you win this I shall grant you victory in every battle you shall ever fight What is the wager? Let us bet on the outcome of your race to save the King Then you have already lost The moment I show my face at the Imperial City that weakling Wuhuan will submit without question Let me show you what will happen to the King and his princess Qingcheng Would anyone like to know what I am wearing under this garment? You have shamed me, I shall kill you! You? Your Majesty! Are you saying I am going to kill the King? The King will be killed by the Master of the Crimson Armor That is his destiny, which nobody can change Say you are right and I lose the bet? What will you want from me? A bitter tear shed because of your broken heart Hadn't you better ask for something I possess? One day your heart will be shattered and bitter tears will be shed Remember When you find love... you will also find death And if I rescue the King and win the bet? You won't The Battle of Horseshoe Valley was your last success By the way the road to the Imperial City lies to the east My master, the Duke of the North, has commanded me to kill you. He also requests your armor. Take it off! Master! Master! I have found the way out! What happened to you? Who are you? Give me the helmet Don't give it to him! You move fast Did you once live in the Land of Snow? I will not kill you What lightning speed he had! You saved my life and served me well Kunlun, I want you to go to the Imperial city and rescue the King Wear my armor As long as you keep silent nobody will dare block your way How will I recognize the King? He will be the only one without a weapon Your Majesty! May I ask where Princess Qingcheng is? Wuhuan, I thought you wanted my throne But you only wanted my woman Need you have gone to such lengths? Gathering an entire army? Surrounding the Imperial City? All you had to do was ask! Wuhuan, you underestimate me Did you think I would choose a woman over my throne? It is no wonder that compared to General Guangming you are always second rate in the eyes of the people Don't you have anything new to say? Did I forget to tell you? The General is on his way and will be arriving any minute Someone told you Guangming is coming? If he were about to arrive would I still be sitting here exchanging pleasantries with you? I sacrificed my cherished desire to kill your favorite general myself and sent the swiftest assassin in the world Were you hoping to be rescued? The people's hero is a dead man as we speak! Let me through! Would anyone like to know what I am wearing underneath this garment? If so, put down your weapons It's working! Strip! Keep stripping! Would you like to know what is underneath this layer? If so, pick up your weapons again and aim them at that heartless man! What are you all doing? You betray me? My rescuer comes! My great General Guangming is here! You have shamed me, I shall kill you! I shall kill you! You? He has killed the King! Keep Going! General Guangming Don't think that because you saved my life I shall be obliged to stay with you From the moment the King turned against me My mind was made up I shall never again let a man possess me I have had enough If you take one more step I shall jump You must not die, you must go on living You must not die, you must go on living Great General, I do admire you It took me a year's planning to get to the Princess Yet you managed to abduct her in a matter of minutes! It never occurred to me to kill the King But you did it without batting an eyelid What imagination, Great General! The King's favorite becomes his murderer! You have always known how to reach for the stars You are utterly ruthless As long as you are alive I can only be second best not just on the battlefield, but in the hearts of the people What will they think of you now. the King's assassin? Here's a proposal if you are willing to jump off the cliff I shall let Qingcheng live Not that you would ever die for another Because you... You are even more ruthless than I am Keep your word and I'll jump I, Wuhuan, am not usually a man of my word but I'll make an exception this once General! Remember Qingcheng, every man you ever love you will lose... Welcome! Welcome! How do you like my golden birdcage? Is this where we are going to spend the night? Did you think I brought you here to be my consort? You cannot seduce me No? I thought you would be grateful If it weren't for me you would never have tasted such true and exquisite love Pity it was only for an instant Where is your beloved now? Because of you, "He is dead! Put it on, my caged bird! Traitor! Assassin! Let's go! Hang him up, let him die here! Think you could hide from us in the forest? If you hadn't been our general We would have killed you ten times over! Leave him here to feed the wolves General In order to claim victory, you sacrificed 133 innocent slaves This, I understand But to kill the King for a woman? This, I cannot fathom Yeli, it wasn't me who killed the King You are the only man in the world who would dare do such a thing If this is your opinion just deliver me to Wuhuan? Go ahead! You have lost everything because of your recklessness Who says I have lost everything? I have lost nothing! You have lost your bet It wasn't me who killed the King I never said it was you All I said was The Master of the Crimson Armor would kill the King I am the Master of the Crimson Armor Not anymore You don't have to believe me but your destiny will not be altered You are innocent yet you have been forced to bear the blame for the King's death Fate works in mysterious ways There are more losses to come and there is nothing you can do to stop them Soon you will lose even your cherished armor and be left with nothing There will be a new Master of the Crimson Armor He alone will be the authentic god of war And he alone will be loved by Qingcheng, beauty of beauties When the blossoms of the cherry tree all have fallen When sun and moon appear side by side Qingcheng's true love will come to her I want to have another wager with you I say I will retain my armor And win the love of this Qingcheng! General, I love your confidence Such a shame... Master, it was me who killed the King Why did you do it? I saw a man with a sword about to kill a woman Because of a woman You disobeyed my order? You deserve to die but not just yet Go find this Qingcheng and bring her to me I will find her, Master Give me back my armor Yes, Master Kunlun! What are you waiting for? Through that door and we'll be free! Who is he? I also want to know He must be from the Land of Snow... Wait! He is mad! Are you saying that Guangming deceived me with nothing more than a switch of armor? And the one who pretended to be him was his slave? And I was outwitted by this slave? So you are the true assassin! What is that in your hand? My Lord, please examine this The feather is mine! Yours? As a slave, even your life is not your own They have stained my fan Take him away! You do understand why they had to die don't you? Now that they are gone Nobody will know who really killed the King Still, you had better deal with the slave as well When he is dead the people will condemn Guangming as the assassin You were the only one who could have killed the general But you failed me in that mission If now you refuse to kill your countryman I shall have to take back my cloak and you will simply vanish into thin air Yes, Master I managed to untie myself but there is no exit Will you help me find a way out? Come back up here and I will show you the way You said I came from the Land of Snow You said you would not kill me If I don't kill you, I will be killed!
