00:00:00A womanizer? Yes. Qin Xian is often seen in pleasure houses. He loves to frequent brothels
00:00:06and is a notorious playboy, especially the heavenly fragrance pavilion he visits almost every day.
00:00:13That could be a breakthrough. Go arrange for some beautiful women to try and get close to Qin Xian.
00:00:18Young Master. Young Master wants some fun.
00:00:43Urgent military report.
00:00:44Extremely urgent. Clear the way.
00:00:49It seems the news of the frontline defeat has reached us. The court's military intelligence
00:00:55is two full days slower than Young Master's secret guards. The front lines are utterly defeated.
00:01:00The barbarians will surely march straight in. Young Master, will you intervene?
00:01:05That thing you've been researching. The GA. GA what was it?
00:01:09You're talking about this, right?
00:01:16That's it. The one that goes da-da-da and shoots blue flames.
00:01:19How many times do I have to tell you? It's called a Gatling gun.
00:01:24I know. I know.
00:01:26Young Master, if you just bring out that thing, you'll definitely send those barbarians running in circles.
00:01:33You think you're so clever. It's not worth it. Let the court's affairs be handled by the big shots.
00:01:46I transmigrated here to enjoy life. Why rush to work like a dog?
00:01:51This long night. It's so boring.
00:02:06Zhao Zhao. Young Master.
00:02:08Let's go. To the fragrant pavilion for some music.
00:02:21Barbarian invasion. War has broken out. May the spirits of my ancestors in heaven, bless our great Wei dynasty.
00:02:37Report. In the battle of Saibei, our army, our army suffered a crushing defeat.
00:02:42Report. The barbarian army has captured Yen Min Pass.
00:02:45Report. The barbarian army is approaching.
00:02:48They are expected to besiege the capital in 10 days.
00:02:54Am I truly destined to be the ruler of a fallen nation?
00:02:59Your Majesty, please don't worry. You must take care of yourself.
00:03:03Our great Wei has many heroes. Someone will surely be able to resist the barbarians.
00:03:18The great Wei dynasty is in grave danger. Your unworthy descendant,
00:03:24Xin Xinyao, begs our ancestors to show us a way, who can save our great Wei.
00:03:38Our ancestors have truly answered.
00:03:46Our ancestors have truly answered.
00:04:04In the third year of Ping Kong, the barbarian army invaded and besieged the capital.
00:04:19Empress Shen Xinyao donned her armor, and her attendant Xia followed with a sword, leading the army to defend the city to the death.
00:04:26After 30 days of fierce fighting, the great Wei ran out of ammunition and food.
00:04:30The barbarian army breached the city.
00:04:32Shen Xinyao, defeated, committed suicide. Xia died with her empress.
00:04:41This. This is Xia's future.
00:04:43Your Majesty, what are you saying? I don't understand.
00:04:48The barbarian army breached the city. The great Wei was destroyed. Is this already a predetermined fact?
00:04:59No. Nothing is predetermined. Fate can be changed. Since my ancestors gave me this ability to see others' futures.
00:05:09I must make good use of it. To protect the great Wei. See ya.
00:05:15I'm here. Summon all ministers to hold a court meeting. I must find the one who can save my great Wei.
00:05:22At all costs. Yes.
00:05:30Welcome, Your Majesty. Dispense with the formalities. The barbarian army is about to besiege the city.
00:05:36Do any of you ministers have a strategy?
00:05:38I heard they've already started fighting. I can't fight them.
00:05:41How can we fight them? Don't make me go.
00:05:44In the third year of Ping Kong of the Great Wei, the barbarian army attacked the city.
00:05:48The empress died in battle. All the ministers surrendered, begging for their lives.
00:05:53But all were executed. The barbarians plundered and massacred. And countless civilians died.
00:05:58History calls it, the disgrace of Ping Kong.
00:06:03This is outrageous. A bunch of spineless cowards.
00:06:05Is there no one, in my great way?
00:06:08Not a single person, who dares to stand up, against the barbarians and fight?
00:06:14Your Majesty.
00:06:17The Duke of Angor is here. We will have a way to defeat the enemy.
00:06:21He will surely win. He will definitely defeat the enemy.
00:06:24He's here. We're saved.
00:06:28Your Majesty. Don't let anger harm your health.
00:06:30A bunch of good for nothings. What good are they? Don't you still have me?
00:06:36Your Majesty. The Duke of Angor comes from a family of generals.
00:06:39He is well versed in military strategy, skilled in archery and horsemanship.
00:06:42If he can lead the army to battle, he will surely drive out the barbarians.
00:06:45Duke of Angor. You truly wish to go to battle?
00:06:48Of course. However, I have one condition.
00:06:55That your Majesty marry me.
00:06:58You.
00:06:58If the Duke of Angor desires women, I can bestow upon you three thousand beauties.
00:07:11Your subject only desires your Majesty.
00:07:14You are the Empress. How could those, ordinary women, compare to you?
00:07:19How dare you? How dare you? How dare you disrespect your Majesty?
00:07:23What? Are you going to execute me? Not to mention,
00:07:27the eighty thousand and kingdom troops my father left behind.
00:07:30Just consider these barbarians before us. Besides me, who else can stop you?
00:07:35Your Majesty, this Great Way Empire, and our wedding night, which is more important?
00:07:41Your Majesty. Please consider carefully.
00:07:44The Great Way Empire is paramount. If he can truly save Great Way, then I'll consider it.
00:07:53Even if it means marrying a dog.
00:07:56In the third year of the Ping Kong era of Great Way, barbarian forces besieged the city.
00:08:00Duken leveraged the situation to threaten the Empress. To preserve the Great Way Empire,
00:08:05the Empress endured humiliation and married him. Duken led his troops to battle,
00:08:10but was defeated by the barbarians. He became a prisoner.
00:08:13So, Duken, is also a good for nothing. What will become of Great Way?
00:08:18The morale of the Great Way army collapsed. The barbarians easily breached the city,
00:08:22to assert their dominance. The barbarians shackled Duken, and paraded him through the city.
00:08:27Great Way's reputation was ruined. From the top of the heavenly fragrance tower in the east of the city,
00:08:33a sudden thunderous roar erupted. A rainbow-colored light streaked across half the city,
00:08:37first slaying the barbarian king amidst the vast army, then striking Duken.
00:08:41What was that thing? It could even kill the barbarian king. It seems to be,
00:08:46from the heavenly fragrance tower in the east of the city. And who was that person?
00:08:50Your majesty is unwilling? That's all right. Your majesty can take your time to consider it. However,
00:08:58the barbarian army is drawing closer and closer. The time left for your majesty is not much.
00:09:03It's over now. What are we going to do? We're doomed. What can be done? Is there any other way?
00:09:15Court dismissed. Thank your majesty for your grace. That mysterious light,
00:09:20perhaps it's the guidance from my ancestors. Your majesty, don't be too anxious. There will always be a way.
00:09:28You're right. There will always be a way.
00:09:36I must leave the palace. I will personally find great ways savior.
00:09:49You lost again. I lost again.
00:10:17Young master, you always pick on me. We had a deal, didn't we? Lose a round, take off a piece. Off, off, off.
00:10:34You're so annoying.
00:10:48So fragrant. So lovely.
00:10:54Keep going.
00:10:54Your majesty, are you sure we haven't come to the wrong place? This is full of dissolute playboys,
00:11:07who only know how to seek pleasure. How could the savior of the great way be here? What I saw was indeed
00:11:13here. This is our only hope, no matter what. We absolutely cannot give up. Let's go in and see first.
00:11:21It's not her.
00:11:38Nor him.
00:11:43Did I overthink it?
00:11:45Was that light from the celestial fragrance pavilion? Just a coincidence?
00:11:50Young master, please take care.
00:11:52Could it be him?
00:12:07Could it be him?
00:12:08Hua Zhao, you're so beautiful. The more I look, the more I like you.
00:12:13At a time like this, you still have the nerve to flirt here.
00:12:16What are you talking about?
00:12:23The barbarians are at our gates. The great way is on the verge of collapse.
00:12:28If the sky falls, someone taller will hold it up. What does that have to do with me?
00:12:34When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken.
00:12:38That saying, you're wrong about that. Even with a million barbarian troops,
00:12:43they can't harm my goo family one bit. Young master is right. They're just mere barbarians.
00:12:49Why bother worrying about them? Absurd. Spoiled brats like you have no idea
00:12:55how terrifying the barbarians truly are. Once they enter the city, it will be a disaster for everyone.
00:13:03Crazy woman. Watch out.
00:13:06Let's find a quiet place where young master can properly dote on you.
00:13:18Ignorant. I'll just wait and see how miserable your end will be.
00:13:25In the third year of Ping Kong of the Great Way, the barbarians besieged the city. The empress led
00:13:29her troops in a desperate defense. The city fell. The empress took her own life. Her blood staining the city walls.
00:13:37Indeed. I died again.
00:13:42The barbarians plundered wantonly. Fires raged throughout the city. And cries of despair echoed.
00:13:48A barbarian army approached the goo family estate.
00:13:50I'll see how long you can hide. In front of these barbarians. Will you still be able to continue
00:13:58frolicking with your maid? What? What is this? What is this? On the walls of the goo family estate,
00:14:08a dozen gatling guns simultaneously emerged and opened fire. The barbarian general leading them
00:14:13was riddled with bullets. The barbarian army suffered heavy casualties. Chen Qian led his secretly trained
00:14:19private army out to attack. The barbarian army was routed and driven all the way out of the capital.
00:14:25This? The entire territory of Dawei was recovered. The official supported the new emperor's ascension
00:14:30to the throne. For his meritorious service, Chen Qian was granted the title of king with equal authority.
00:14:36How is this possible? He actually defeated the barbarian army, which had been victorious in a hundred
00:14:42battles. He even completely drove the barbarian army out of Dawei. Who exactly is he?
00:14:49Your majesty.
00:14:52See yeah, I'm giving you one hour. I want to know everything about that man.
00:14:56Yes, your majesty.
00:14:58What exactly is that thing? Why does it possess such power? And who exactly is he? How can he wield such a divine weapon?
00:15:16I've already found out. His name is Chen Xianggu. His family runs a business and has some assets. Other
00:15:22than that, there's nothing particularly special about him. Even the imperial secret police couldn't
00:15:29find anything. He hides himself very well. Why is your majesty so interested in this man? Could it be
00:15:37that he angered that he angered your majesty today? And you wish for him to disappear?
00:15:42Do I look like such a petty person?
00:15:48He is the savior of Dawei that I've been looking for.
00:15:51Him?
00:15:52But this man clearly prefers to keep a low profile. If the barbarians hadn't attacked,
00:15:59he wouldn't have intervened. If I want him to help me, I'll probably have to put in some effort.
00:16:06Does he have any particular habits?
00:16:08Habits? If I had to say, would being a womanizer count?
00:16:15A womanizer?
00:16:16Yes. Chen Xian is often seen in pleasure houses. He loves to frequent brothels and is a notorious playboy,
00:16:23especially the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. He visits almost every day.
00:16:28That could be a breakthrough. Go arrange for some beautiful women to try and get close to Chen Xian.
00:16:33Yes, your majesty. Wait. Does your majesty have any other commands?
00:16:44This thing possesses immense power. It's practically a weapon of war. The fate of Dawei rests upon it.
00:16:50We cannot afford to lose it. This matter is too important. I don't trust anyone else with it.
00:16:56I will personally go and approach Chen Xian. Your majesty, how can this be?
00:17:00What? Do you think I'm not beautiful enough to catch Chen Xian's eye?
00:17:06That's not what I meant, your majesty. Speak your mind. I will pardon you.
00:17:11Your majesty is of noble birth. How can you act like a courtesan going to flirt with men? This is outrageous.
00:17:21Outrageous? The barbarians are already at our doorstep. What status does an empress like me have left?
00:17:28Even Duke Angua couldn't catch your majesty's eye. So what is Gu Qin Xian? He is different from Duke Angua.
00:17:36Duke Angua is useless, but he can truly save Dawei. For Dawei, what does it matter if I sacrifice my reputation as a woman?
00:17:46Your majesty. Enough. My mind is made up. Go get me a basin of water. I need to get ready.
00:17:52I want Gu Qin Xian to be unable to take his eyes off me. When he sees me.
00:18:00Your majesty, that scoundrel is here.
00:18:17I've dressed up so carefully today. I'm sure I'll charm that lecher to death.
00:18:21Nothing to do today but listen to music at the brothel.
00:18:31What is your majesty thinking? How can such a person bear the responsibility of Dawei's future?
00:18:36The fish has taken the bait.
00:19:02He... he actually isn't looking at me.
00:19:04The young master is here. Please have a seat.
00:19:10Am I really not as good as those common women?
00:19:14Your majesty is as beautiful as a goddess. He must be blind.
00:19:17Your majesty, wait a moment. I'll go dig out his eyes to avenge you.
00:19:22In the third year of Ping Kong Indoor, at the Tianxiong Pavilion, Zia ambushed Gu Qin Xian, but was shot dead by Gu Qin Xian, with a revolver.
00:19:31The incident escalated. Gu Qin Xian became a wanted criminal.
00:19:36Gu Qin Xian rebelled, leading private troops to capture the imperial city.
00:19:40Xian Xian knelt before Gu Qin Xian, and was shot. The winds of change blew.
00:19:44Hua Zhao draped the imperial robe over Gu Qin Xian.
00:19:49No.
00:19:52He... you cannot touch him.
00:19:58Young master.
00:19:58Why don't you teach me... how to... win a man's favor?
00:20:05I...
00:20:07I have no experience.
00:20:10Well...
00:20:12If it's about killing, I'm good at it. But charming men... I don't know how to do that either.
00:20:17Young master, please eat.
00:20:27How naughty.
00:20:28Everything for the future of Dawei.
00:20:38So delicate.
00:20:41Young master, I...
00:20:44I'd like to propose a toast to you.
00:20:46You are so handsome.
00:20:48And dashing.
00:20:50This humble woman is smitten at first sight.
00:20:52I...
00:21:03Your majas, miss.
00:21:05Are you alright?
00:21:11I've made a fool of myself in front of you, young master.
00:21:16I've already had my laugh.
00:21:22This trick of yours?
00:21:24Someone tried it on me 10 years ago.
00:21:26Spilling wine to get wet.
00:21:30It's such an old trick.
00:21:31When you try to seduce a man, can't you be a little more original?
00:21:34I didn't mean to.
00:21:36I knew you'd say that.
00:21:38You.
00:21:40If you want to play this spill wine and get wet game, you're doing it all wrong.
00:21:44Your technique is terrible.
00:21:46Ciao ciao.
00:21:47Young master, I'd like to offer you a toast.
00:21:53See?
00:22:01This is what you call skill.
00:22:02If you're going to seduce men, you need to hit the right spot.
00:22:08Also, your posture is all wrong.
00:22:14You're not showing any femininity at all.
00:22:16Don't be angry.
00:22:18This is all for the sake of the great way nation.
00:22:23May I ask, young master, how should I adjust my posture?
00:22:27First, you need to loosen up a bit.
00:22:48Chest out.
00:22:52And your waist needs to sway.
00:23:03Your skirt's too long.
00:23:04Pull it up.
00:23:08Higher.
00:23:13That's right.
00:23:16These legs are so fair and tender.
00:23:18How beautiful.
00:23:23What do you think, young master?
00:23:27Very good.
00:23:28Now you're qualified to be a maid in the goo family for me.
00:23:33Aye.
00:23:36I'm only fit to be a maid.
00:23:38My standards are very strict.
00:23:40I can't lose my temper.
00:23:42I need to stay calm.
00:23:44For a great way.
00:23:45Miss Xiong Lan.
00:23:54Young Master Xiong.
00:23:55Miss Xiong Lan.
00:23:56I didn't lie to you.
00:23:57Miss Xiong Lan is unwell and truly cannot entertain you.
00:24:00How about someone else?
00:24:02Don't try to fool me.
00:24:03Everyone knows that here.
00:24:04Xiong Lan is the top courtesan.
00:24:07Who can compare to her?
00:24:17This girl is not bad.
00:24:20Madam, you're not being fair.
00:24:21You have such a good catch.
00:24:23Why didn't you bring her out sooner?
00:24:25Young Master Xiong.
00:24:26You've misunderstood.
00:24:27This is not one of our girls.
00:24:28From the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
00:24:31It doesn't matter.
00:24:32They're all the same.
00:24:33Having her accompany me is enough.
00:24:35Young Master Xiong.
00:24:36This is not appropriate.
00:24:39She is also a guest of our Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
00:24:42Am I giving you too much face?
00:24:45I'll do whatever I want.
00:24:47Is it your place, an old madam, to tell me what to do?
00:24:51Get lost.
00:24:53Young Master Xiong.
00:24:59Run.
00:24:59She truly is a beauty.
00:25:06How dare you.
00:25:08What do I have to be afraid of?
00:25:10Do you know who my father is?
00:25:11I'm afraid you'd die of shock if I told you.
00:25:14Listen carefully.
00:25:15My young master's father is the steward of Duken's manor.
00:25:20Even high ranking officials in the court, when they see my young master, have to show some respect.
00:25:25I thought it was someone important, just a steward.
00:25:32This is an opportunity.
00:25:33I can use these lackeys to test his true capabilities.
00:25:38So, have you made up your mind?
00:25:43If you make me happy, I might even let you into our Xiong Manor as a concubine.
00:25:48But if you're unwilling, I don't mind trying.
00:25:52The feeling of taking you by force.
00:26:05Young Master.
00:26:08Doesn't this guy know how to be a hero and save the damsel in distress?
00:26:14Never mind, you won't make a move, right?
00:26:16Then I'll just go all out.
00:26:21Young Master.
00:26:22Save me.
00:26:27Save me.
00:26:28Young Master.
00:26:31Help me.
00:26:32What are you doing?
00:26:36Don't try to scam me.
00:26:38I remember we just met.
00:26:40We're practically strangers, right?
00:26:42You can't deny what you said.
00:26:44Young Master, can you?
00:26:46What did I say?
00:26:47What did I say?
00:26:48You said you'd make me a maid in the Goo Manor.
00:26:52And I took you seriously.
00:26:54Now I'm part of the Goo Manor.
00:26:55So you have to take responsibility, Young Master.
00:26:59You can't just let me be bitten by some stray dogs outside, can you?
00:27:04That makes sense.
00:27:06What makes sense?
00:27:07I'll give you one chance.
00:27:09Get lost right now.
00:27:10Don't ruin my fun with women.
00:27:12Don't be ungrateful.
00:27:13Do you know the weight of Duken's Manor?
00:27:16My Young Master can crush you.
00:27:18Easier than an ant.
00:27:19Yes, just like that.
00:27:21The more arrogant, the better.
00:27:23I'll add more fuel to their fire.
00:27:34Young Master, you scared me to death.
00:27:36You must protect me.
00:27:40Your Majesty, you're really going all out.
00:27:43Is this goo really worth it?
00:27:45Perfect.
00:27:46What a pair of star-crossed lovers.
00:27:48Even if you want to leave now, I won't allow it.
00:27:52I'll chop you into Mincemeat and feed you to the dogs.
00:27:54Guards!
00:28:03So scary.
00:28:08Alright.
00:28:10Looks like I can't just stand by.
00:28:13Get up.
00:28:20I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but you forced my hand.
00:28:24I'm done pretending.
00:28:25I'm showing my cards.
00:28:27So what if there are a lot of you?
00:28:28Watch out.
00:28:29Young Master.
00:28:31Bring me the spear.
00:28:32This thing.
00:28:45It really exists.
00:28:46I just wonder if its power is truly as immense as I've seen.
00:28:50What is that thing?
00:28:51This scoundrel seems quite confident.
00:28:54I'm in a good mood today, and I don't want any bloodshed.
00:28:57How about this?
00:28:59Let's make a deal.
00:29:00You all kneel down, kowdow, and apologize.
00:29:03And we'll just let this go.
00:29:04Today.
00:29:05What did he say?
00:29:08I didn't mishear him, did I?
00:29:10He said he wants us to kneel down and kowdow to him.
00:29:13Are you out of your mind?
00:29:14How can you say such foolish things?
00:29:17Can't you see how many of us there are?
00:29:18One spit from each of us could drown you.
00:29:21My young master is merciful.
00:29:23He doesn't want to commit unnecessary bloodshed.
00:29:26Don't you dare provoke him.
00:29:28Still talking tough, huh?
00:29:29I'd like to see how he's going to commit bloodshed with just this little toy in his hand.
00:29:35It's not even as big as my own weapon.
00:29:40It's not too late to back down now.
00:29:42All I need to do is gently pull the trigger, and your head will explode.
00:29:46Do you think I, the young master, am easily scared?
00:29:56Go!
00:29:56Go play with him.
00:30:02Come on, shoot me here.
00:30:04Let me experience what it's like to have my head explode.
00:30:07Then I'll just have to grant your wish.
00:30:16How could this happen?
00:30:24I must have been out of my mind.
00:30:25I actually thought this dandy was secretly powerful.
00:30:30That's it?
00:30:32That's all you got?
00:30:32Are you trying to make me, the young master, laugh myself to death?
00:30:36Didn't you say that with a gentle pull of the trigger, my head would explode?
00:30:41But my head seems perfectly fine.
00:30:43What a brilliant display of stupidity. You deserve a reward.
00:30:50Here. This is my reward for you.
00:30:53You might need it, on your way to the underworld. Keep it safe.
00:30:57My apologies. No bullets loaded. Just a moment, please.
00:31:04Little beauty, did you see that?
00:31:06This guy's a joke. I'll show a no-go.
00:31:09If you kneel and crawl over here now.
00:31:14And apologize to me, the young master. I can forgive your past transgressions.
00:31:18And pamper you well.
00:31:22Dream on.
00:31:23You ungrateful little darling.
00:31:25Since you don't know what's good for you. I don't need to be gentle.
00:31:30Once I'm tired of you. I'll sell you to the lowest brothel in the capital.
00:31:34Young master, such a beautiful woman. To just sell her like that? It's such a waste.
00:31:42Why don't you let us have some fun with her first?
00:31:46Granted, after you've had your fun with her, it won't be too late to sell her.
00:31:50You're so generous, young master.
00:31:54My family's maid is not for you to sell.
00:31:57This is endless. I, the young master, don't have time to play games with you.
00:32:05Attack!
00:32:05You like to act, huh? I'll cut you in half, and send you to the underworld to act there.
00:32:17I really didn't want to shed blood. You forced my hand.
00:32:29Yes, that's right. Everything I see is real. My choice was not wrong. He is the hope of Great Way.
00:32:36Go take a look. Go take a look. Go take a look.
00:32:51Young master, he's, he's really gone. What the hell is this thing?
00:32:59My lord, what is this thing? A revolver. It's a very classic firearm.
00:33:05The firing pin strikes the primer, igniting the gunpowder.
00:33:10Never mind, you wouldn't understand any of this.
00:33:13A revolver.
00:33:14Wanna try it?
00:33:17Yes.
00:33:18Come on. Call me my love, let me hear it.
00:33:31My love.
00:33:31I can't hear you.
00:33:36My love.
00:33:38That's the spirit.
00:33:40Here.
00:33:40This is how you load it.
00:33:49It's loaded.
00:33:51Who do you want to shoot?
00:33:52Shoot him.
00:33:53Him or him.
00:33:55I think it should be him.
00:33:57Catch the leader first, right?
00:34:00No.
00:34:01Let's talk this over.
00:34:02Talk? I already gave you a chance today, but you didn't take it.
00:34:07Don't forget, my father is, the steward of Duke Ann's estate.
00:34:11If you dare lay a hand on me, he will never let you off.
00:34:14That's right, steward Jang.
00:34:16He had a son late in life, his only heir. You better think twice.
00:34:20The steward of Duke Ann's estate, huh?
00:34:24That makes things a bit tricky.
00:34:28How about this?
00:34:30For his father's sake, we won't shoot him in the head.
00:34:33When the old man gets older, his eyesight won't be good.
00:34:36He won't even recognize his own son's body. What do you say?
00:34:40Good.
00:34:47Are you crazy?
00:34:48My father is, the steward of Duke Ann's estate.
00:34:51Duke Ann's.
00:34:52Shoot him.
00:35:01What are you waiting for?
00:35:02Go!
00:35:03He only has one gun.
00:35:04All of you, go together. He can't stop you all.
00:35:07Then come and try it.
00:35:09Whether I can kill all of you, I don't know.
00:35:11But the first one who dares to come forward, I promise you.
00:35:14I'll send him to meet the king of hell.
00:35:20Cowards!
00:35:21You're all a bunch of cowards.
00:35:23Duke Ann's estate has supported you for so long.
00:35:26Are you all just freeloaders?
00:35:27Go!
00:35:28A bunch of rabble.
00:35:30Continue.
00:35:35No, no, no.
00:35:41This shot is for you, for abusing your power.
00:35:44This shot is for you, for breaking the law.
00:35:58This shot is for you, for abusing your power.
00:36:01This shot is for you, for kidnapping women.
00:36:11It seems you're out of bullets.
00:36:15Attack!
00:36:16Attack!
00:36:18Don't let her reload.
00:36:19Whoever takes her head, I will reward handsomely.
00:36:23I'll kill you.
00:36:23I was just playing with you.
00:36:35Did you really think I only had one gun?
00:36:38Anyone else?
00:36:40Wanna try?
00:36:41Don't run, you scoundrels.
00:36:45Don't run.
00:36:47Come back.
00:36:47Jin.
00:36:49Do you have any last words?
00:36:50A misunderstanding.
00:36:52It's all a misunderstanding.
00:36:54What misunderstanding?
00:36:56Didn't you just say you'd chop me up and feed me to the dogs and sell my goo family mates
00:37:00to a brothel?
00:37:01Did I mishear all those words?
00:37:04It was my big mouth.
00:37:07I was blind to your greatness.
00:37:09I didn't know any better.
00:37:11Please, just let me go, like a fart.
00:37:18I still prefer the arrogant way you were, just now.
00:37:23No!
00:37:23It seems too many have died.
00:37:35This might be hard to resolve.
00:37:36Yes, a life has been taken.
00:37:39And it's the only son of the duke and steward.
00:37:43I'm afraid the entire imperial court will be alarmed.
00:37:46Xiao, you need to make plans soon.
00:37:50Don't worry, Xiao.
00:37:52Today's incident was Zheng Tuoh's provocation attempting to kidnap a woman.
00:37:57You were merely acting in self-defense.
00:37:59Yes, the grand court of justice will surely make a fair ruling.
00:38:04Ling and I are both witnesses.
00:38:06Don't be so naive.
00:38:07Both of you, use your heads.
00:38:09On one side, there's the only son of duke and steward.
00:38:12On the other, there are us ordinary commoners.
00:38:14Who do you think the court will side with?
00:38:17Are you saying the court will bend the law
00:38:20and twist the truth?
00:38:22Not possibly, but certainly.
00:38:25The Empress would never allow such a thing to happen.
00:38:28Oh, please.
00:38:30Rely on the Empress.
00:38:32We're just commoners.
00:38:33How can we reach her ears?
00:38:36Since that's the case, my quiet days are probably over.
00:38:41Why don't we just rebel?
00:38:44Let's just rebel.
00:38:47I think that's a good idea.
00:38:49The Great Way dynasty is riddled with corruption, completely rotten.
00:38:53It's the perfect chance for the young master to restore order.
00:38:56Are you all insane?
00:38:57Treason is a capital offense.
00:38:59Exactly.
00:39:00As long as we storm the imperial city and seize the throne, then it won't be treason.
00:39:04It'll be a change of dynasty.
00:39:07That's right.
00:39:08Our Gu family has troops, has supplies, has money, and has weapons.
00:39:15If others can sit on the throne, so can the young master.
00:39:18This map is incredibly detailed.
00:39:32Even the imperial palace is replicated one-to-one.
00:39:35This.
00:39:36Young master, where did you get this?
00:39:39Do you have an inside man in the palace?
00:39:41It's not that complicated.
00:39:43It was mainly done using drone remote sensing.
00:39:45It's much more accurate than manual surveying.
00:39:48Drone remote sensing.
00:39:50Young master Gu, just how many secrets does he have?
00:39:53This is the Gu family's estate.
00:39:56The imperial palace is here.
00:39:58The main imperial guard forces are distributed in this area.
00:40:01When the time comes, I'll have the Gu family troops directly seize the high ground
00:40:06and form a suppressive fire network.
00:40:08How did we suddenly start making plans for rebellion?
00:40:11Miss.
00:40:13Miss, please say something.
00:40:14Um, young master, I think.
00:40:19This might be inappropriate.
00:40:22You're right.
00:40:25It is inappropriate.
00:40:28Good.
00:40:28I don't want to be emperor.
00:40:30An emperor has so many duties every day.
00:40:32I'd be exhausted.
00:40:33How would I enjoy music and entertainment then?
00:40:38Miss Hua Zhao, how about I give you the throne?
00:40:42No.
00:40:43I don't want to be emperor.
00:40:45I only wish to stay by your side every day and serve you, young master.
00:40:51You're all turning your noses up at it now.
00:40:53That's my throne.
00:40:54Is that polite?
00:40:56What about you?
00:40:57Are you interested in the throne?
00:40:58When I storm the imperial city, I'll strip the tyrannical emperor of his robes and give them to you to wear.
00:41:03Actually, I don't think it's reached the point where we absolutely have to rebel.
00:41:08The current empress is still very wise.
00:41:11Exactly, exactly.
00:41:12If she knew about this, she definitely wouldn't allow officials to protect each other.
00:41:17The problem is, we don't have a way to contact her.
00:41:21I do.
00:41:23Right, see ya.
00:41:26Yes, my young lady's maternal grandfather's distant niece's cousin is on duty at the imperial ceremonial department.
00:41:33This message will definitely reach the empress's ears.
00:41:37If the empress doesn't care, then it won't be too late for you to rebel.
00:41:41All right, then we'll give the emperor another chance.
00:41:44I hope the emperor doesn't act foolishly.
00:41:48Who are you calling cutie?
00:41:50Go back to the palace quickly and report this.
00:41:52Tell them to handle the aftermath properly.
00:41:54Don't let those corrupt officials disturb young master goo.
00:41:56Hurry.
00:41:58Yes.
00:42:01Oh, right.
00:42:02Don't run around anymore.
00:42:03Come back to the goo family with me.
00:42:05If the emperor listens to slander and insists on punishing you, if you're at the goo family, I can protect you.
00:42:10Okay.
00:42:21Young master, I am in position.
00:42:24Wait for my signal.
00:42:34To see your majesty here truly makes me feel disheartened.
00:42:49According to Duken, I shouldn't be here.
00:42:51Of course, your majesty should be obediently staying in the palace now and preparing for my wedding instead of disguising yourself and mixing with a low status man.
00:43:03Yes, your majesty doing this.
00:43:05How will the world see the Duke?
00:43:07I'm afraid everyone will think your majesty is unchaste and has cuckold at the Duke.
00:43:12Absurd.
00:43:13I have never had an engagement with the Duke of Angua, so how can you talk about chastity?
00:43:18It's only a matter of time.
00:43:20The barbarian cavalry is at our doorstep.
00:43:22Who can your majesty rely on besides the Duke?
00:43:27Can you rely on this pretty boy?
00:43:28Aye.
00:43:33I am deeply devoted to your majesty.
00:43:36Please do not disappoint me.
00:43:38This place is not suitable for your majesty.
00:43:40Please return to the palace.
00:43:42Your majesty, please return to the palace.
00:43:46I don't want to return to the palace.
00:43:48Then where do you want to go, your majesty?
00:43:50I don't want to go anywhere.
00:43:52I just want to be with Mr. Goo.
00:43:56Mr. Goo?
00:43:59Your majesty calls him so intimately.
00:44:01I really don't know what kind of spell this pretty boy has cast on you to make you so devoted.
00:44:07Of course.
00:44:08It's because of this face of mine.
00:44:09Did you think pretty boy was just a casual nickname?
00:44:14Also, this face of mine has been professionally certified by the capital's courtesan queen.
00:44:20A great way.
00:44:21Intangible.
00:44:22Cultural heritage.
00:44:24A standard 1.8 meter male model face.
00:44:27Slick talker.
00:44:28A mere shell.
00:44:30For a man.
00:44:31Strength is the foundation of his existence.
00:44:34As long as I give the order, you'll be nothing but a wisp of a ghost.
00:44:39The fortune teller told me before that I would live a long life.
00:44:43I'm afraid the duke will die before me.
00:44:46This pretty boy is really arrogant.
00:44:49Does he think he's safe just because he's with the empress?
00:44:53Sweetheart, the crazier, the better.
00:44:55I want you to pay for my son's life.
00:44:57You're quite bold.
00:44:59Duke, this man is disrespectful.
00:45:01He should be killed.
00:45:02He should be killed.
00:45:03Duke of Angua, drawing your sword in front of me.
00:45:12Are you trying to rebel?
00:45:15Your majesty exaggerates.
00:45:16How dare I rebel against your majesty?
00:45:18I'm merely helping you to eliminate these villains so you don't fall deeper.
00:45:23Out of respect for your majesty, I'll give you a chance.
00:45:26You can scar your own face, then sever your own tendons.
00:45:30Perhaps then, I might just let you go, treating you like a fart.
00:45:38What if I refuse?
00:45:40That's not up to you.
00:45:42If you don't show respect, plenty of people will make you.
00:45:45Duke, let's stop wasting words with him.
00:45:48Just kill this pretty boy directly so he doesn't keep having an illicit affair with your majesty.
00:45:53I forbid you from touching him.
00:45:59This is an imperial decree.
00:46:00It seems your majesty is determined to protect this pretty boy.
00:46:06Mr. Gu is one with me.
00:46:09To harm him is treason.
00:46:10What a one with me, what a treason.
00:46:18Your majesty, you've truly been bewitched by this pretty boy.
00:46:21But the more you act like this, the more I'll ensure he dies without a burial place.
00:46:26Duke Angua, listen to my advice.
00:46:29Stop now, considering your ancestors' contributions to the nation.
00:46:32I don't want your lineage to end.
00:46:33Your majesty, you've truly lost your mind.
00:46:38Calling you your majesty is giving you face.
00:46:41You really think this place is the golden throne hall?
00:46:44Exactly.
00:46:4680,000 Angua soldiers are outside with just one word from the duke.
00:46:50Everyone here will die.
00:46:52Your majesty's and this pretty boy's lives are in the duke's hands.
00:46:56The duke is now heaven itself.
00:47:00Who can kill me?
00:47:01Who dares to kill me?
00:47:03Duke Angua, you are truly beyond redemption.
00:47:05I have been more than benevolent to you.
00:47:07Even if your ancestors' spirits are in heaven, they wouldn't blame me.
00:47:11Enough talk.
00:47:12Your majesty, I have always been deeply devoted to you.
00:47:16Although you lack wifely virtue, I am still willing to give you a chance.
00:47:22Now, come to me.
00:47:25You can still be the Duchess.
00:47:28You can still be the Empress of Great Way.
00:47:30Even if I had to choose a thousand times, ten thousand times, I would only choose Mr. Gu.
00:47:39I would never choose you, Duke Angua.
00:47:41I see you've been blinded by infatuation.
00:47:46Duke, you should first look for problems within yourself.
00:47:50Perhaps, Her Majesty the Empress is clear-sighted.
00:47:54But you, Duke, are truly too.
00:47:57Too despicable.
00:48:01What did you say, Duke?
00:48:02He called you despicable.
00:48:04I'm not deaf.
00:48:11It's all this damn pretty boy's fault.
00:48:13Say that again if you dare.
00:48:15Am I wrong?
00:48:16If you, Duke, weren't so low-class, how could Her Majesty, the Empress possibly, give up being,
00:48:22the esteemed Duchess, to come to my Gu family, and be a Mirror Maid?
00:48:27Am I right?
00:48:29Your Majesty?
00:48:49What are you doing?
00:48:51Just teasing them.
00:48:52Don't you think?
00:48:53These rebellious traitors, with their impotent rage, look quite ridiculous.
00:49:01All right, all right.
00:49:02Chin Chin Yeo, you are truly despicable.
00:49:05I think you have no need to remain the Empress of the Grand Dynasty.
00:49:09Prince of Qing.
00:49:11I agree to your proposal for cooperation.
00:49:14Prince of Qing.
00:49:16Look, look.
00:49:18Kissing still works, doesn't it?
00:49:20See?
00:49:20We've reeled in another big fish.
00:49:22We respectfully invite the Prince of Qing.
00:49:25Respectfully welcome the Prince of Qing.
00:49:28Respectfully welcome the Prince of Qing.
00:49:35Imperial sister, long time no see.
00:49:38By our dynasty's laws, adult princes are only permitted to reside in their fiefdoms.
00:49:42You cannot enter the capital without an imperial decree.
00:49:45How dare you secretly return?
00:49:46Imperial sister, that's wrong.
00:49:49I didn't want to return either.
00:49:51It's just that you truly cannot bear the responsibility of this nation.
00:49:54What nonsense are you spouting?
00:49:56With barbarians at our borders, instead of thinking about how to resist the enemy,
00:50:00you run here to indulge with your male consorts.
00:50:03Do you have any semblance of an emperor?
00:50:05What do you know?
00:50:06Only Mr. Gu can save our Grand Dynasty.
00:50:09Him?
00:50:10Seriously?
00:50:12No public urination.
00:50:13There are some things you don't understand.
00:50:15This is the guidance of our ancestors.
00:50:17Chen Qing, stop being ridiculous.
00:50:20How dare you use our ancestors to pressure me?
00:50:22If our ancestors had spirits in heaven, they'd be furious with you.
00:50:27This dragon throne, you can no longer sit on it.
00:50:31Prince Qing, are you trying to rebel?
00:50:35This is called setting things, right?
00:50:38Duken, as per our agreement, if you hold me ascend the throne,
00:50:43I will make you a prince of a different surname.
00:50:45Then, I'll grant Chen Qing, to you as a slave, to be abused, and disposed of as you wish.
00:50:51Then, thank you, your highness.
00:50:54Oh, no.
00:50:56Thank you, your majesty.
00:51:03Chen Qing, you brought this upon yourself.
00:51:07From now on, you'll be the most cherished maid in my duke's manner.
00:51:12A bunch of traitors.
00:51:15Master.
00:51:16I'm disgusted by them.
00:51:17I don't want to waste any more time.
00:51:19Please use your divine artifact to help me execute these rebels.
00:51:24All right.
00:51:25I'm done playing today.
00:51:27Let's see some blood.
00:51:33I'm not done playing yet.
00:51:34Chen Qing, do you want to play a game?
00:51:38A game?
00:51:38That's right.
00:51:40This game is very fun.
00:51:41It's called, choose one of two.
00:51:46Bring them in.
00:51:47I am useless.
00:51:59Duken's army is simply too large.
00:52:02I couldn't break through.
00:52:03What a touching display of loyalty between master and servant.
00:52:08But I must say, her skills are indeed impressive.
00:52:11She took down dozens of my top generals and almost got away.
00:52:16Duken, what do you want?
00:52:18Whatever it is, come at me.
00:52:19It has nothing to do with Sia.
00:52:21I told you.
00:52:23We're going to play a game.
00:52:24A choose one of two game.
00:52:26The duke means for you to choose between her and the pretty boy as long as you personally stab one to death.
00:52:33The other one gets to live.
00:52:35Remember, it must be you who personally stabs them.
00:52:40On one side, there's the handsome, young lover.
00:52:44On the other, there's the loyal maid, like a sister to you.
00:52:48Who will Imperial's sister choose?
00:52:49It's hard to guess.
00:52:50You bastards.
00:52:54Stop wasting time, your majesty.
00:52:56Make your choice quickly.
00:52:58Soon.
00:52:59I still have to go to the palace.
00:53:01To enthrone our prince chain.
00:53:03He's ascending the throne.
00:53:05Master Gu is a great talent.
00:53:06Who can save the nation?
00:53:08Your majesty, you must protect him.
00:53:10To be able to serve your majesty in this life?
00:53:13Sia.
00:53:14Has no regrets, even in death.
00:53:16If there is a next life, I wish to still serve by your majesty's side.
00:53:23Lily.
00:53:30You can't die.
00:53:32Until I say so, stay put.
00:53:34And behave yourself.
00:53:40Mr. Gu, please save Lily.
00:53:42You little rascal.
00:53:44You're rebelling.
00:53:45I'll teach you a good lesson for the Duke.
00:53:47Stop.
00:53:51Let Lily go.
00:53:51Your majesty, watch out.
00:53:54Duke, watch out.
00:53:56This is the strange item mentioned in the intelligence report.
00:53:58It's called a revolver.
00:54:00It's very powerful.
00:54:01My son died because of this gun.
00:54:04Ethan, don't think you're invincible.
00:54:06Just because you have that broken gun.
00:54:08We were prepared specifically for you.
00:54:12Did you hear that?
00:54:13This wrought iron is three inches thick.
00:54:15It's military grade.
00:54:16Specially made for breaking formations.
00:54:19Nothing can penetrate it.
00:54:21Quite well prepared, aren't you?
00:54:23Fooled you, didn't I?
00:54:25If that little toy in your hand can pierce this shield, I'll eat my hat.
00:54:29My revolver might not pierce it, but your rebellion is unforgivable.
00:54:35Heaven itself will strike you down.
00:54:38You brat.
00:54:39What nonsense are you spouting?
00:54:40Even if there's a destiny, it's on my side.
00:54:43Are you out of your mind?
00:54:45Don't believe me?
00:54:46That's fine.
00:54:47I'll count to three, and you'll see for yourself.
00:54:56What is this?
00:54:57It's really thundering.
00:55:09Your majesty, there really is a destiny.
00:55:12What destiny?
00:55:13It's all Mr. Goo's doing.
00:55:15A rainbow light piercing the sun, taking the barbarian king's head amidst a thousand armies.
00:55:21That's what I saw.
00:55:21That thing.
00:55:22Ah, Mr. Goo has such methods?
00:55:26Then why not just directly kill Dukin?
00:55:29He deserves to die.
00:55:31Mr. Goo said.
00:55:33Dukin is deeply entrenched with many loyal followers.
00:55:37If he were killed directly, the Duke's army could easily lose control, leading to a bloodbath.
00:55:42But people in this era are overly superstitious.
00:55:47Don't ask me.
00:55:49I don't even know what it means.
00:55:51Mr. Goo said that today in front of everyone.
00:55:54He'll put on a show to prove that destiny is on my side.
00:55:58Then, taking over the Duke's army will be much easier.
00:56:02Mr. Goo is truly a genius.
00:56:05Your majesty finding him is truly a blessing.
00:56:09You?
00:56:10What kind of dark magic did you use?
00:56:12I told you.
00:56:13You've done too many immoral deeds.
00:56:16Heaven will strike you down with lightning.
00:56:18It has nothing to do with me.
00:56:20Bullshit.
00:56:21I think you're just talking nonsense.
00:56:23Don't argue.
00:56:24Listen to me.
00:56:26Now, quickly kneel before Her Majesty the Empress and beg for mercy.
00:56:29Maybe, heaven will be merciful and spare you.
00:56:34Prince Chin.
00:56:36The Great Way imperial family is already small.
00:56:38Don't be so stubborn.
00:56:40It's not too late to turn back.
00:56:41Impossible.
00:56:43I should be the emperor of Great Way.
00:56:46If heaven truly has eyes, it should be on my side.
00:56:50Exactly.
00:56:51Your Highness Prince Chin is the true son of heaven.
00:56:55What just happened?
00:56:56Must have been a coincidence.
00:56:58Otherwise, why did it only strike my shield and not Prince Chin's or the Duke's shields?
00:57:04Right.
00:57:05If you're so capable, then destroy the shield.
00:57:08In my hand, too.
00:57:10I'm telling you.
00:57:11You really won't shed tears until you see the coffin, huh?
00:57:14All right, all right, all right.
00:57:16Boom.
00:57:18Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:57:20I'm telling you, Your Highness Prince Chin.
00:57:22I was just trying to scare you and you actually fell for it.
00:57:26You can't even hold onto a shield.
00:57:28So how can you sit on that dragon throne?
00:57:30You dare to trick me?
00:57:31I will exterminate your entire clan.
00:57:34Look, look, look.
00:57:35He's getting angry.
00:57:36He's getting angry.
00:57:38Bring that shield to me.
00:57:40I don't want to waste time.
00:57:41I will use this shield to smash your head to pieces.
00:57:47Boom.
00:57:49Playing that trick again, do you think I will fall for it again?
00:57:53Today, your head won't be staying on your shoulders.
00:57:56I said so.
00:58:00Wait.
00:58:01This red dot.
00:58:03What is this?
00:58:07Your Majesty Prince Chin, be careful.
00:58:14It exploded again.
00:58:16What he said is true.
00:58:18Heaven's will is with her, not with me.
00:58:20We won't be struck by lightning, too, will we?
00:58:22I knew it.
00:58:23We shouldn't have rebelled.
00:58:24The Empress is the true sign of Heaven.
00:58:26If I get struck by lightning and die, how can I face my parents?
00:58:29Bullshit.
00:58:31To hell with Heaven's will.
00:58:33Everything must still be that.
00:58:34Little rascal's doing.
00:58:40Ah, it's happening again?
00:58:45I'll kill you.
00:58:56Look at you.
00:59:03Why did you have to be so stubborn and attack?
00:59:05Originally, Heaven only struck this shield.
00:59:08Now look, it struck you, too.
00:59:10Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off.
00:59:13Duke Angua, are you done or not?
00:59:15At a time like this, you still want to harm Mr. Gu.
00:59:17I refuse to accept this.
00:59:19What about me?
00:59:20Is inferior to this little rascal?
00:59:22Why?
00:59:23Why do you insist on protecting him?
00:59:25And not even look at me?
00:59:27It's come to this, and you still don't understand.
00:59:32It's not that I'm protecting him.
00:59:33It's that he's protecting me.
00:59:38I'll tell you a secret.
00:59:40I can see the future.
00:59:43Yours.
00:59:44Mr. Gu's.
00:59:45I can see it all.
00:59:48I once thought.
00:59:50If you had the ability to fight off the barbarians.
00:59:53For the sake of the Great Wei Empire, it wouldn't be impossible for me to marry you.
00:59:57But unfortunately, you're useless.
00:59:59And Mr. Gu is the true pillar of Great Wei.
01:00:04Whether it's appearance, character, or talent.
01:00:06You are inferior to him.
01:00:09By far.
01:00:17It's over.
01:00:18It's over.
01:00:18The Duke is dead just like that.
01:00:20The tide has turned.
01:00:22We shouldn't stay here.
01:00:26Tell me, Mr. Zhen.
01:00:29Where are you?
01:00:30Off to?
01:00:31Your master is all alone down there.
01:00:33Isn't he lonely?
01:00:35As his follower, aren't you going down to keep him company?
01:00:38GU, don't think you've already won.
01:00:40Even though the Duke is dead, the 80,000 Angua army soldiers are still here.
01:00:44Crushing the GU mana is as easy as flipping a hand.
01:00:47What are you all standing around for?
01:00:49The Duke is dead.
01:00:50The murderer is right in front of you.
01:00:53Kill him.
01:00:54Avenge the Duke.
01:00:55I'd like to see who dares.
01:00:56Duke Angua committed treason and rebellion.
01:00:58His crimes are unforgivable.
01:00:59And he deserved to die.
01:01:00However, considering you were coerced by him, your actions are excusable.
01:01:04I can pardon you.
01:01:05But if you don't stop now, there will be no room for negotiation.
01:01:09That's right.
01:01:10You'd better think this through.
01:01:12Rebellion.
01:01:13Means your entire clan will be executed.
01:01:16It's only rebellion if you lose.
01:01:18If you win, it's a merit for supporting the new emperor.
01:01:21His royal highness, Prince Jean is right here.
01:01:23Support him to ascend the throne.
01:01:25And will be granted noble titles and high official positions.
01:01:29Your highness.
01:01:30Say something.
01:01:33That's right.
01:01:34If I ascend a throne, I will certainly not mistreat any of you.
01:01:39Quick.
01:01:40Attack for me.
01:01:41Slaughter everyone here.
01:01:42Ah, that's if you can even ascend the throne.
01:01:45You all saw how Duke Andwa died.
01:01:48Didn't you?
01:01:49There are gods watching from above.
01:01:52He could strike down Duke Andwa.
01:01:54And he can strike down those rebels too.
01:01:55Who am on?
01:01:58You wants to try?
01:02:00I'm out.
01:02:01I only have one life.
01:02:02I can fight to the death against barbarians.
01:02:04But I can't be struck down by the heavens.
01:02:06As a rebel, dying so miserably, I'd be ashamed to face my ancestors in the afterlife.
01:02:11Your majesty, your humble general awaits your command.
01:02:15Your majesty, your humble general awaits your command.
01:02:20Don't kneel.
01:02:21All of you, get up.
01:02:22The Duke raised you all for nothing.
01:02:24Don't you want to avenge him?
01:02:27Silence.
01:02:28You dare hit me?
01:02:30I'm hitting precisely.
01:02:31You, this little darling.
01:02:32If it were for a scoundrel like you, constantly instigating, the Duke wouldn't have died.
01:02:36I say, you're the one who killed him.
01:02:46What should we do with this little darling?
01:02:47Your majesty, please give us your command.
01:02:52Sir.
01:02:54Do as you please.
01:02:55She's not a pretty girl.
01:02:56I don't care.
01:03:00Steward Zheng has deceived the monarch.
01:03:02Committed treason and incited rebellion.
01:03:04These are three grave crimes.
01:03:06Drag him out and beat him to death.
01:03:08The Shen clan shall be stripped of their property and exterminated.
01:03:13Yes, your majesty.
01:03:15I was wrong, your majesty.
01:03:17Please spare my life.
01:03:18Have mercy, your majesty.
01:03:20Duke Angor rebelled.
01:03:21By law, his entire clan should be executed.
01:03:25However, considering his ancestors' merits, only he shall be executed.
01:03:29His family will be spared and demoted to commoners.
01:03:32Drag him out and bury him.
01:03:35Prince Qin, do you have anything else to say?
01:03:39Given the circumstances, what more is there to say?
01:03:43It's the victor who makes the rules.
01:03:45It's nothing more than a single life.
01:03:47However, before I die, I have one request.
01:03:50I hope your majesty can grant it.
01:03:54Speak.
01:03:56Since that year, when I was sent to my fief and left the capital,
01:03:59I haven't seen my royal mother.
01:04:03I asked your majesty to allow me to enter the palace
01:04:06and bid farewell to my royal mother.
01:04:08I grant it.
01:04:09Report.
01:04:11Your majesty, we finally found you.
01:04:13Something terrible has happened in the palace.
01:04:15What happened?
01:04:16There's a smallpox outbreak in the palace.
01:04:18The Empress Dowager and Consort Longyu have all fallen ill.
01:04:24Say that again.
01:04:26What exactly happened to my royal mother?
01:04:28Ouch, ouch.
01:04:31What exactly is going on?
01:04:32Speak quickly.
01:04:34Dare to omit a single word and I'll take your life.
01:04:38A few days ago, a palace maid returned to Qingzhou to visit her family.
01:04:42She came back, contracted smallpox, and died.
01:04:44A few eunuchs in charge burned her body, thinking it was over.
01:04:48Who would have thought that the smallpox would return?
01:04:51The Empress Dowager and Consort Longyu have all fallen ill.
01:04:56Have you called the imperial physicians?
01:04:58Yes, we called them, the imperial physicians said.
01:05:01The Empress Dowager's condition is slightly better.
01:05:03But Consort Longyu's illness is too severe, the imperial physicians said.
01:05:07Said what?
01:05:08They said, Consort Longyu might not have much time left.
01:05:13Impossible.
01:05:14Impossible.
01:05:15I don't believe it.
01:05:17My royal mother is so benevolent and virtuous.
01:05:20She won't just die like this.
01:05:22I want to see my royal mother.
01:05:23I want to see my royal mother.
01:05:27Let him go.
01:05:28How could this happen?
01:05:30Smallpox is a terminal illness.
01:05:32There's no cure at all.
01:05:34Whether they can pull through depends entirely on fate.
01:05:38The medicine.
01:05:39Actually, a few days ago, he already developed a special medicine.
01:05:45And he's already sent people to Qingzhou for disaster relief.
01:05:51That's right, there's medicine.
01:05:54Sir, I can only rely on you now.
01:05:57Please save my family.
01:05:59What?
01:06:00Ethan can also cure smallpox?
01:06:03Oh, dear.
01:06:06Your Majesty, this isn't right.
01:06:08You can't keep milking the same cow.
01:06:10Sir, I was young and sickly.
01:06:14My body weak.
01:06:16If not for my mother's careful nurturing,
01:06:18I would have died long ago.
01:06:21The thought of my mother.
01:06:23Confined to her sickbed.
01:06:26Tears at my heart.
01:06:28If you don't help me.
01:06:30I truly don't know what I'll do.
01:06:32Stop.
01:06:34Don't cry.
01:06:34You just know.
01:06:38I can't stand this act.
01:06:41So, you've agreed to help me?
01:06:42I told you.
01:06:44I'm a softie.
01:06:45I can't stand to see a beautiful lady cry.
01:06:50I'll help you then.
01:06:53Thank you, sir.
01:06:54I can't say for other diseases.
01:06:56But smallpox is easy.
01:06:58The 21st century already has targeted solutions for it.
01:07:02Many thanks, sir.
01:07:06You lead the way.
01:07:09Please, sir.
01:07:10Who is this person?
01:07:19How improper.
01:07:20What kind of behavior is this?
01:07:22How can there be such an absurd person?
01:07:24When did his majesty get a man by her side?
01:07:27Haven't you heard?
01:07:28This is his majesty's new male consort.
01:07:30So he's a male consort.
01:07:32His face is indeed handsome.
01:07:33He's not just a pretty face.
01:07:36His ability to be witch people is also top notch.
01:07:39What do you mean?
01:07:41His majesty ordered the Duke of Angwa to be executed.
01:07:45Who do you think whispered such slander into her ear?
01:07:48What?
01:07:48This is outrageous.
01:07:50I don't know what the emperor is thinking at this critical moment.
01:07:53Without Dukin, how can we resist foreign tribes?
01:07:56Are we relying on this little darling?
01:08:00Such a villain is simply a scourge to the nation.
01:08:02They deserve to be cut into a thousand pieces.
01:08:06Your majesty.
01:08:09The barbarian envoy has arrived.
01:08:17The officials of Great Way are nothing special.
01:08:19The empress, however, is a beauty beyond compare.
01:08:23And her figure looks good for bearing children.
01:08:25My king likes women like her.
01:08:28How dare you?
01:08:28Who gave you the guts to dare to comment on her majesty?
01:08:32Naturally, it's the 50,000 strong army outside the city.
01:08:36That gives me confidence.
01:08:37From the northern frontier to here, a thousand miles.
01:08:40Our army is invincible, conquering all.
01:08:43Do you still not submit Great Way?
01:08:46Great Way is on the verge of collapse.
01:08:48But my king is merciful.
01:08:50He is willing to grant you a way out.
01:08:52Someone, bring what the king prepared.
01:08:55For the empress of Great Way.
01:08:57Bring it up.
01:09:05This is my king's personal treasure blade.
01:09:08Made from rare divine iron.
01:09:09Forged by master craftsmen.
01:09:11It is a top tier, peerless divine weapon.
01:09:13Guards, protect her majesty.
01:09:20Don't worry.
01:09:22I won't harm the empress.
01:09:24She needs to live well.
01:09:25To bear children.
01:09:27For my king.
01:09:28I just want to show the empress how sharp this blade is.
01:09:30How truly sharp it is.
01:09:34What do you want to do?
01:09:37It can cut through iron light and mine.
01:09:39This is our barbarian tribes.
01:09:41National treasure blade.
01:09:42Nothing in this world can stop it.
01:09:44Nothing can stop it.
01:09:47I don't think so.
01:09:49My king said.
01:09:50If Great Way can find one thing.
01:09:53That can block this blade.
01:09:54Block it.
01:09:55Our tribe will retreat immediately.
01:09:57For 10 years.
01:09:58We will not step into Great Way again.
01:10:00I'm just afraid.
01:10:02That Great Way can't produce it.
01:10:06You look down on others.
01:10:08This sword of mine was bestowed.
01:10:11By the late emperor.
01:10:12It's unparalleled.
01:10:14Then come and try it.
01:10:27How is this possible?
01:10:29How is this possible?
01:10:30The late emperor's gift is only this good?
01:10:33Who else dares to try?
01:10:36What should we do?
01:10:37What are we going to do?
01:10:39This.
01:10:40My king gave you a chance.
01:10:43But Great Way is useless.
01:10:45We will go back and report to the king.
01:10:48That all of Great Way are trash.
01:10:50Prepare to attack the city.
01:10:54Let's go.
01:10:55That's enough.
01:10:56I can't be bothered with you.
01:10:58You really think you're something special.
01:11:00Huh?
01:11:00That junk in your hand.
01:11:02It can't even cut through.
01:11:03My household rack.
01:11:06Jump blade.
01:11:06This is my king's personal treasure blade.
01:11:09To insult, it is to insult the barbarian king.
01:11:12Empress.
01:11:13This man is disrespectful.
01:11:15I demand that you have him beaten to death immediately.
01:11:18Mr. Gu is a man of my Great Way.
01:11:20I decide how he is dealt with.
01:11:22It's not your place to speak out of turn.
01:11:25Do you think Great Way can last much longer?
01:11:28I advise you to see the situation clearly.
01:11:31And know your place.
01:11:32That way, after Great Way falls, you can still retain some dignity.
01:11:37Otherwise, all these court officials will lose their heads.
01:11:43Your Majesty, please grant death to your male favorite.
01:11:47What are you doing?
01:11:48This man lacks propriety and has angered the barbarians.
01:11:51He deserves to die.
01:11:52Your Majesty, please punish him immediately.
01:11:54Just a small barbarian envoy.
01:11:56That's all.
01:11:58Look at all of you.
01:11:59So scared.
01:12:00All you court officials.
01:12:01Your spines are softer than the next.
01:12:04No wonder Great Way is getting worse and worse.
01:12:07Shut up.
01:12:08A mere male favorite.
01:12:09You have no right to speak.
01:12:11You've already caused the death of Dukin.
01:12:13Do you want to kill us too?
01:12:14The empire is crumbling.
01:12:15The barbarians are unstoppable.
01:12:18Your Majesty, just accept it.
01:12:20If Great Way falls, so be it.
01:12:22But we can't sacrifice our lives and fortunes.
01:12:26See?
01:12:27My people already have the support of the people.
01:12:29Empress, don't go against the tide.
01:12:31Your Majesty, please grant death to your male favorite.
01:12:34All of you, shut up.
01:12:35You have no idea.
01:12:36Mr. Goo's true importance.
01:12:38A mere male favorite.
01:12:39What importance could he possibly have?
01:12:41Your Majesty, you don't really believe.
01:12:43That is household rag.
01:12:45Can't block my barbarian nation's treasure blade.
01:12:48Do you?
01:12:49That's right.
01:12:49I believe in Mr. Goo.
01:12:51Then bring it out.
01:12:52Let me see it.
01:12:53Sir.
01:12:57Go get it from my home.
01:12:58Just ask for room 606.
01:13:01High-density bulletproof fiber.
01:13:03606.
01:13:06You're good.
01:13:07You found my secret base right away.
01:13:09Inside room 606 are all my latest research on bulletproof vests.
01:13:15You can think of them as a special kind of armor.
01:13:18Feel free to look around.
01:13:19Feel free to explore.
01:13:20The divine object in room 606.
01:13:24I haven't seen it yet.
01:13:26This is a good opportunity to feast my eyes on it.
01:13:30See ya.
01:13:31Go there yourself.
01:13:33Yes.
01:13:37A rag that can block the barbarian's national treasure blade?
01:13:40Such nonsense.
01:13:42How can your majesty believe it?
01:13:43Your majesty doesn't want to be the ruler of a fallen nation.
01:13:47So she's desperately grasping at straws.
01:13:48Even a lowly male concubine can fool your majesty so completely.
01:13:56If Great Way doesn't fall, it would be an outrage.
01:14:02Your majesty, Mr. Goo.
01:14:04I've brought back what you asked for.
01:14:10Excellent.
01:14:15So this is what you said.
01:14:16Could block our tribes.
01:14:18National treasure blade?
01:14:19That's right.
01:14:21This is a high molecular material.
01:14:23Not even bullets can penetrate it.
01:14:26With just that broken knife in your hand.
01:14:29Don't even dream of harming it.
01:14:33Still talking tough, huh?
01:14:35Seeing is believing.
01:14:36Fine.
01:14:37I'll chop you down.
01:14:38Hey, wait a minute.
01:14:41What's wrong?
01:14:42Can't keep up the act.
01:14:43Not at all.
01:14:44I just want to ask.
01:14:46Does what you said earlier still count?
01:14:49What promise?
01:14:53You said if our Great Way could produce something to block that broken knife in your hand,
01:14:58your barbarian army would retreat immediately and not invade again for 10 years?
01:15:02Of course.
01:15:03Our king is a peerless hero.
01:15:05His word is his bond.
01:15:07How could he go back on it?
01:15:09Oh, good.
01:15:10That puts my mind at ease.
01:15:12It's good that you're retreating yourselves.
01:15:14Saves me the trouble.
01:15:16Killing these 500,000 barbarian soldiers would be quite a hassle.
01:15:20What did you say?
01:15:21You want to wipe out our entire army?
01:15:23That's right.
01:15:24That was my original plan, actually.
01:15:26But then you showed up, so I adjusted my strategy.
01:15:30And saved some bullets.
01:15:32Making these bullets isn't cheap, you know.
01:15:35That's a lot of hard-earned money.
01:15:37After this war, it'll probably cost millions of dollars.
01:15:42That's enough for me to buy so many drinks and entertainment.
01:15:51Enough!
01:15:52How long are you going to keep playing around?
01:15:54This is the imperial court, not a theater stage.
01:15:57Haven't you made enough of a fool of yourself in front of the barbarian envoy?
01:16:00You've completely disgraced the Great Way dynasty.
01:16:04Hey, let me correct you.
01:16:06The ones disgracing Great Way are you, these, fawning court officials.
01:16:10On the contrary, what I hold in my hand, this high molecular fiber, is the true, face of Great Way.
01:16:20Go on.
01:16:20Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish.
01:16:36That piece of junk fabric actually blocked the barbarian envoy's sacred blade.
01:16:42That's not just some junk fabric.
01:16:44Didn't you hear, Mr. Goo?
01:16:45It's called high molecular carbon fiber.
01:16:50It can even stop bullets.
01:16:52It's the most advanced armor material.
01:16:55Mr. Goo is truly a genius.
01:16:58Impossible.
01:16:59Absolutely impossible.
01:17:01How can our nation's sacred blade not even cut through a piece of junk fabric?
01:17:13Oh, come on, can you even do it?
01:17:17Didn't you eat?
01:17:18Is that all the strength you barbarians have?
01:17:25Otherwise, why don't you go eat something and come back?
01:17:28So people don't say I'm bullying you.
01:17:30What kind of black magic did you use?
01:17:32For idiots, life is full of black magic.
01:17:36This is science.
01:17:37Science?
01:17:38Your IQ is too low.
01:17:40No matter how much I tell you, you won't understand.
01:17:44Don't just stand there.
01:17:45Go back.
01:17:46Tell your king to take your 500,000 barbarian troops and scram as far as you can.
01:17:53Retreat?
01:17:54You wish.
01:17:57You want to go back on your word?
01:17:59With our 500,000 troops at your city gates,
01:18:03Your great way is like fish on a chopping block.
01:18:06At a time like this, how could we possibly retreat?
01:18:09My king is an unmatched hero.
01:18:11His word is his bond.
01:18:14I wonder who said that.
01:18:17The barbarian king's promise really isn't worth much, is it?
01:18:20Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by everyone if this gets out?
01:18:24When our army breaks through the city, we'll slaughter all you Han people, one by one.
01:18:29Then who will know what happened today?
01:18:32Today, I'll collect some interest from you first.
01:18:35If you hadn't interfered, why would there be all this trouble?
01:18:40How dare you?
01:18:40How is that possible?
01:18:52Your clothes are also...
01:18:54Congratulations, you got it right.
01:18:57But there's no prize.
01:18:58Don't you think?
01:18:59Since I developed this high molecular fiber, would I just let it be a display?
01:19:04I'd definitely wear it to save my life.
01:19:06Mr. Goo, are you alright?
01:19:09His pathetic skills can't hurt me.
01:19:12What's wrong?
01:19:14Are you...
01:19:15Worried about your little boyfriend?
01:19:19You're still messing around at a time like this.
01:19:21Would you die?
01:19:23If you didn't get the last word?
01:19:25Of course not.
01:19:26What do people live for?
01:19:27Isn't it just to...
01:19:29flirt with pretty girls?
01:19:32Oh, right, your majesty.
01:19:34I actually have something serious...
01:19:36to discuss with you.
01:19:37Please speak, sir.
01:19:40Check out my legs.
01:19:45I can't be bothered with you.
01:19:47Committing violence in the main hall is an unforgivable crime.
01:19:51Guards!
01:19:53Drag him out and execute him.
01:19:56Are you insane?
01:19:56How dare you kill me?
01:19:57I am an envoy.
01:19:59What if you are an envoy?
01:20:00The moment you laid hands on me, you became a criminal.
01:20:04It is only right that I execute you.
01:20:07If I die here, do you know what the consequences will be?
01:20:11My king will avenge me.
01:20:14Everyone in this capital city, scholars, farmers, artisans, merchants, generals, ministers,
01:20:20and even you, empress of great way, will all be buried with me.
01:20:28I humbly dare to ask your majesty to withdraw your command.
01:20:32What are you doing?
01:20:34Are you trying to force me to abdicate?
01:20:36I wouldn't dare to force you, your majesty.
01:20:39But please, reconsider.
01:20:41You cannot kill an envoy.
01:20:43Yes, your majesty, please reconsider.
01:20:46If you kill the envoy, the consequences will be dire.
01:20:49Stop talking nonsense.
01:20:50What consequences could there be?
01:20:52You're just afraid the barbarians will invade and wipe out your entire clans.
01:20:56I admit, you, the empress's favorite, do have some ability.
01:21:01But to think that some polymer material will let you rest easy?
01:21:05That would be a grave mistake.
01:21:06There are 500,000 barbarian troops outside the city.
01:21:12500,000.
01:21:13Do you know what that means?
01:21:15The Dukovan, who is most capable of defending the capital, was also killed by you.
01:21:19Great way is finished.
01:21:20Why should we die with great way?
01:21:22Good, good, good.
01:21:23You know what's best?
01:21:25I will report everything that happened today to the king, and you will all be handsomely rewarded.
01:21:33Your majesty, please reconsider.
01:21:36You all, the barbarians haven't even entered the city.
01:21:39Yet you dare to act like this.
01:21:41The barbarians' blades are sharp.
01:21:43But my sword, is no less so.
01:21:46Are you not afraid, that I will exterminate your entire clans?
01:21:50Your majesty, face reality, the civil and military officials.
01:21:54Involve more than half the capital.
01:21:56If your majesty dares to act, the capital will instantly fall into chaos.
01:22:00And the barbarians will immediately enter.
01:22:02You all, sir.
01:22:05Simple, it can be solved in just three steps.
01:22:08Please speak, sir.
01:22:12First, have Hua Chao lead the Gu family army to take control of the city gates,
01:22:16and defend against the barbarian army.
01:22:17Then, have the Anwa army impose a city-wide curfew.
01:22:21And for the third step, have Sia lead the Imperial Guards to raid the homes of each of these people.
01:22:29That way, things won't get out of hand.
01:22:31You pretty boy, how dare you.
01:22:33What's there to be afraid of?
01:22:35You dare to usurp the throne?
01:22:37It's perfectly reasonable for me to raid your homes.
01:22:39You're just a mere male concubine.
01:22:41What do you know about court?
01:22:42We are the backbone of the Great Way court.
01:22:45Without us, the Great Way court would collapse immediately.
01:22:48The Empress is just an empty shell.
01:22:50Unable to do anything.
01:22:51You all think a little too highly of yourselves, don't you?
01:22:55Our Gu Family Academy has been promoting literacy education for years now.
01:23:00The available talent, if not a thousand, there are at least 800.
01:23:04Once you're gone, they'll step right up.
01:23:07There won't be any problem at all.
01:23:11What kind of behavior is this?
01:23:14And if I'm not mistaken,
01:23:18you corrupt officials have certainly
01:23:19lined your pockets quite a bit.
01:23:25Zero doubt.
01:23:25Minister Zhang's family, $300,000.
01:23:32Minister Li's family, $500,000.
01:23:39Minister Liu's family, however, has much more.
01:23:43You're from the Ministry of Personnel, a lucrative post.
01:23:46You must have at least $3 million, right?
01:23:49You, you, and you, and you, add all of you up.
01:23:57It should be.
01:24:00That equals $89,180,000.
01:24:05Sir always has new things.
01:24:06This calculation speed is much faster than an abacus.
01:24:10Wow, over 80 million tails of silver.
01:24:14That's how many years of military expenses for me?
01:24:19Your Majesty.
01:24:21This money must go to me.
01:24:23Then, we'll build some big ships and embark on a great voyage.
01:24:28What's a great voyage?
01:24:29It's hard to explain in a few words.
01:24:32Just tell me, will you give it or not?
01:24:34Of course, I'll give it.
01:24:36Consider this silver, my dowry.
01:24:39Well, if you have a dowry, I can't be too shabby either.
01:24:50How about this?
01:24:51I'll go outside the city, bring back the heads of those 500,000 barbarian soldiers, and give them to you as a betrothal gift.
01:24:57Aren't you afraid of fighting off more than you can chew?
01:25:04You think you can defeat my barbarian?
01:25:06Army, just you?
01:25:08Then today, I'll make sure you die knowing why.
01:25:11Your Majesty, I've set up a temporary wartime command post at the Gu family estate.
01:25:16Bring them over here.
01:25:17I want them to witness firsthand what modern warfare tactics are all about.
01:25:23Good. It's their good fortune, too.
01:25:28As Mr. Gu said, go arrange it quickly.
01:25:32Yes, sir.
01:25:44Young Master, 100 Gatling guns and 60 mortars have been arranged.
01:25:55How should we proceed?
01:25:57Do you even need to ask?
01:25:59Direct firepower saturation of 360 degree all-out sweep.
01:26:03Leave no one alive.
01:26:04Yes, sir.
01:26:09Fire.
01:26:10In the third year of Kinkong, Duwei, during the capital, defense war, the barbarian.
01:26:17Forces suffered a crushing defeat.
01:26:19Duwei sustained no casualties, eliminating 100,000.
01:26:23Guqin Quan's name as the god of war shook the world.
01:26:27Guqin Shan personally led the Wei army north, sweeping through their territory, rooting out and
01:26:33exterminating all barbarians.
01:26:35From then on, the border troubles were forever pacified.
01:26:38Thanks to you, Duwei was spared from the barbarian's trampling.
01:26:50On behalf of the people of Duwei, I'll toast you first.
01:26:59Though you dislike power, I cannot withhold it.
01:27:02Your achievements are enough to grant you land and title as a king.
01:27:16Here's the map of Duwei.
01:27:17Choose any territory you wish.
01:27:19Your family will enjoy lasting prosperity.
01:27:22Let's think bigger, shall we?
01:27:24Since we're claiming land, why should we only claim our own Duwei territory?
01:27:33What do you mean?
01:27:41This is...
01:27:42Do you remember when I told you about the age of discovery?
01:27:47Duwei is here.
01:27:47To the east, the ocean blocks us.
01:27:50To the west, mountains cut us off.
01:27:53Oh, and because of the limitations of technological development, we couldn't expand outwards.
01:28:01But now that I'm here, things are different.
01:28:05Oh, how so?
01:28:07According to the young masters, blueprints, the first generation of steamships has begun production.
01:28:13They are expected to be completed and launched within three years.
01:28:17By then, our Duwei army will directly sail across the oceans.
01:28:24We'll take this place and this place.
01:28:27We'll conquer them all.
01:28:32By then, we'll have a few more children.
01:28:38And we'll send them out to rule.
01:28:39The girls will be called Princess of the Grand Americas.
01:28:44And the boys will be King of Grand Europe, King of Grand Oceania, King of Grand Francia.
01:28:57Your Majesty, do you think we can achieve this?
01:29:03No, I was just thinking to achieve this vision.
01:29:06How many children would we need to have?
01:29:29I'm just thinking to change the vision.
01:29:32I'm just thinking to change the vision.
01:29:35Oh, be gentle.
