Your majesty,
you can't accept the unworthy wood
You said the grain was adultered
That's not true
You should take the blame, shouldn't you?
The grain was not adulterated
but Goujian wanted to confuse you
To sow discord among us
He didn't send the wood
to build the palace
The wood is enough to make you a coffin
His intent... Your Majesty
Wu Zixu...
Wu Zixu is good at this, Your Majesty
Look at him. He thinks he is Bigan, Jiang Shang
He is arrogant in front of you
He thinks he surpasses you
Wu Zixu,
is it the duty of a courtier?
Bopi
I haven't said a word yet
What gives you the right to rebuke premier?
Your Majesty...
I can't stand him
He is not your courtier
He is your enemy
He is not fair to you
I won't be his colleague
If I offended you,
please give me the death penalty
My death
will let people know
Wu Zixu's true colors
0utrageous
Your Majesty, I can't stand
his nonsense
I always keep my word
I will offer my head to the imperial temple
Goodbye
Stop
I won't let you kill yourself, premier
If you kill yourself,
you betray me
Your Majesty
I haven't kowtowed to you. Never mind
I have something for you
You gave me too many things
It is different
Look
A talisman
Do you like it?
I like it
I will put it on for you
You don't look happy
I am always like this
Your gift is the best
I like it
I don't believe you
How does it feel?
I hope your heart is as soft as your hands
People will be lucky
You always keep me at arm's length
It is difficult to see you smile
You want me to smile
I will smile
It is not difficult at all
Don't bother
I don't want to order you
It will spoil the mood
I will make you forget Fan Li
You will smile at me then
Yue repaid grain to you
Can you let... No
You want me to release Fan
If you plead for him again,
I will kill him
Look, who is she?
Look, Xishi
Xishi...
You are getting more beautiful
Long time no see. You are beautiful
You are beautiful. Look at your clothes
Why are you here?
Wu's king took us here
He said you were lonely here
Asked us to keep you company
This is a beautiful place
More beautiful than our homeland
Look at the flowers and grass
Wu's king
I did all these things
because I wanted you to be happy
To my surprise,
you are still so sad
Your Majesty, I
don't deserve what you did
You deserve everything
I did for you
Your Majesty
I took Lady Xishi to Guanwa Palace
Were her childhood friends there?
They were there
What happened?
Did she smile?
Tell me
Your Majesty,
she didn't smile
She looked woebegone
I have another thing to report, Your Majesty
Say it
Han Canal is built
Field Marshal Gongsun
invited you and 9 courtiers to inspect it
Good. Great
Get my horse Yes
Your Majesty...
You want to attack Qi
An urgent message from Lu
Mulberry farmers of Qi and Lu fought
because of picking of Wenyang's mulberry leaf
Both kings are furious
Lu is under our protection
We should dispatch our army
Qi didn't provoke us
Qi fights with other nations is not our business
We defeated Qi last time
We signed nonaggression treaty
If we attack Qi,
other nations won't trust us
Please think twice
I inspected Han Canal 2 days ago
This time we can use it
to make a raid on Qi
Qi will be another Yue
Then we will attack Jin
We may obtain hegemony
before the year ends
Your Majesty,
you can't
act rashly
We are not strong enough
to fight 2 strongest nations
We will conquer Qi first
We will attack Jin next spring. What do you say?
I am eager to obtain hegemony
but we must progress step by step
0ne step at a time
There will be no chance to attack
Qi or Jin within 3 years
If we don't attack Qi
while our army is strong,
the army's morale will be lowered
We can't control the situation then
Why not have a go now
lest we should regret it?
It is risky
How can we have a go?
Your Majesty, I think
premier is right
We can't attack Qi
Bopi
Yes
What do you say?
I think you can't be wrong, Your Majesty
0ur policy is to obtain hegemony
We should do it sooner
Please lead the army, minister
Don't be ironic, premier
Enough
Here is the sign
Who wants to lead the army?
He can get the sign then set off
Your Majesty...
If you insist on dispatching troops,
dismiss me first
Please dismiss me too, Your Majesty
You are unreasonable
What is this? It is a threat
*** Sunluo Yes
You haven't said a word
I think
we can delay attacking Qi
or else I can't explain to other nations
I will lead the army for you, Your Majesty
Your Majesty
I didn't welcome you sooner
Please forgive me
It's all right. Get up
Thank you
Thank you
Thank me for what?
Thank you for letting me go back to Yue
Who let you go back?
You may go Yes
Fan Li,
do you know why I came?
I don't
For 2 things. 0ne,
Han Canal consumed a lot of money and labor
but it is built
I can use it
to conquer the world
You are brilliant
I came to thank you
I'm flattered
And the other thing...
is between you and me
Right
Xishi
When I return in triumph,
I will let her make the decision
If she wants to go with you,
I won't hesitant,
I will let you and her go back to Yue
I won't keep you against your will
I won't steal other's loved one
because I have power
If she wants to stay,
then it means she belongs to me
I want to show you
Beautiful girls
belong to the most outstanding man
Stay here
and wait for my return in triumph
The king has arrived. We will win...
Wait
You can dispatch the army
over my dead body, Your Majesty
Stop the nonsense, premier. Get out of the way
It is not the right time
You can't act rashly
The late king trusted me
I can't let our troops
die in vain on the battlefield
Please go back
What did you say? Your Majesty
Premier did it for our nation
Please don't punish him
Please show mercy
It is ominous
to kill a loyal courtier now
Guards Yes
Carry premier away
Yes
Your Majesty...
Your Majesty
Set off Set off
It is not the right time
It is not the right time
I am going to battle
I sent people to the cold north
to collect the ice back
They traveled night and day
Now they are back today
Look
When all the ice melts,
I will return in triumph
The king has reached Qi's capital
He was efficient
Your Highness...
Look,
this is my gift for you
Yuchang Sword of Qi
It's beautiful
I would like to go to battle with the king
Your Highness,
it will be soon...
What are our casualties?
Not heavy
The king drove his cart
like he always does
Qi's troops gave dreary cries and fled
when they saw the king's flag
The king charged in the enemy array with his halberd
Was he hurt? Hurt?
The enemies were hurt
The king was as formidable as a deity,
as fierce as a tiger
The fierce Qi's troops
became lambs in front of him
They looked like they had typhoid
They shivered, cried and fled
But their feet
were planted on the ground
They could only cry and wait for their deaths
0ne vain Qi's soldier
tried to stop our army
What happened?
The king had the halberd in one hand,
the sword in the other. Like a thunder
The guy was halved
from head to toe
The king is awesome
He is great
How courageous he was
Your Highness, when the battle ended
the king was covered in blood
The blood of the enemy
You scared me
Qi's troops shot us from the city wall
There were a lot of arrows
Many of our troops were shot
but the king
rushed about on horseback
He killed 15 officers
No, 25
Maybe more
I think it should be thrice
He charged at
the enemy's city thrice
Your story is very exciting, minister
My heart is in my throat now
Then
Father will force Qi's king to sue for peace
The king will return in triumph soon
No, Your Highness
It's not that simple
Qi's troops' fear has vanished
They resist us stubbornly
It means
the war will be prolonged
Many tough battles are waiting for the king
All melted
Congratulations on your triumph, Your Majesty
When there was no fight,
officers warmed themselves by the fire at night
They sang Wu's songs
They missed their homeland
I stared at the fire,
all I thought of was the ice
We captured the enemy's capital
0ur flags were raised on their city wall
I didn't
indulge in joy and glory
I rode night and day. I rushed back
I wanted to know
if the fire in my heart
could melt
your iciness
Your Majesty
I see your tears
I fought bloody battles
Now I can say that they were great battles
My Lady
The king...
Is the king back?
He spent the night with Lady Xishi
Mr. Fan,
today is your big day
I decided
to let you go back
Why don't you thank me?
You have detained me for 3 years
Why should I thank you?
I told you you were not a prisoner
You were my guest
Do you remember what I said
before I went to battle?
I know your feat
You defeated Qi
Congratulations
Defeating Qi is not a feat
I want you to be my witness
Guard
Yes
Invite the lady in
Yes
Lady Xishi
Your Majesty
Get up
Xishi,
I will give you a chance today
Fan Li is here
If you want to go back to Yue with him,
I won't stop you
To stay or to go?
Your choice
This is your only chance
I always keep my word
I... Your Majesty
I wish you and Lady Xishi happiness
I'm not in love with Wu's king
I love
the hero who is worshiped by all the world
I love a true man
who is tender and broad-minded
I am a woman
If I can stay with you
and have your love all my life,
I will be the happiest woman in the world
Your Majesty, please
let me stay
I will serve you
You won't regret it, will you?
I'm honored
Why will I regret it?
Please get up
You heard what she said, Fan?
I did
I heard every word
Do you have anything to say?
I have nothing to say
Let's have a drink
It is a farewell drink
I stole your loved one
I was unfair to you
so this is a farewell drink
and it is also my apology
I will drink it first
You are wrong
A true man has lifelong concern
but not daily worries
Love is like a river. It can't go back
A true man won't court sadness
Goodbye
Wait
You may go now
Yes
No matter what you said
You are old acquaintances
Here is a chance for you to talk
I won't disturb you
When you have finished,
I will send someone to escort Mr. Fan back
I...
wish you a safe journey
Premier
You came, Field Marshal
What's wrong?
I came to visit because I was worried
I am dispirited
Life isn't worth living
I will let the king down if I die
What should I do?
Your words came from the bottom of your heart
Give the king some time
He will see sense
He is not stupid
Be patient
I'm not impatient. Time is pressing
Goujian is incessantly plotting
I can't sleep or eat
I won't go to court again
The king won't see my annoying face again
Don't do this or else
Bopi will get the upper hand
The king will be hurt
I am old
I can't protect him anymore
May Heaven bless him
Your Majesty,
officer Fan is back
Your Majesty
Please get up
Come on, advisor
How are you, Your Majesty?
Fine. You have suffered
Kucheng, I won't see anyone today
I will have a night-long talk with Fan
Yes
Gongsun Xiong
Yes
Did premier Wu really say that?
Your Majesty,
he said he was dispirited
He couldn't protect you anymore
Bopi
Yes
Invite premier again
Your Majesty,
I have been there a few times
Premier refused to see me
He is determined
not to be your courtier
Premier
forced me to let him leave Wu
The king accredited me to Qi tomorrow
He wanted Qi's king
to kill me
Premier
Qi's courtier Bao Xi is my acquaintance
Here is a letter
Give it to him
He will protect you
Thanks
Premier, you...
must be careful
Your Majesty, Wu Zixu fell foul of Wu's king
He was accredited to Qi
People of good sense know
Qi always follow Wu's advice
Did
Fucha want Qi's king to get rid of Wu Zixu?
The strangest thing is
Wu Zixu knew his life was at stake
Why did he send all his family
to Qi?
It means
Wu Zixu knew Qi's king wouldn't hurt him and
Qi's king would took him in
It is a good thing
Wu Zixu can't go back to Wu
He is not like this
I am sure he will
go back to Wu
Your Majesty
Wu's king doesn't know Wu Zixu sent his family away
Should we make an issue out of it?
Have more wine, officer
Am I right, officer
0fficer, a letter for you
Can't you see I'm busy?
A letter from officer Fan Li
Go away...
Yes
