- Kill him...

- Kill him...

- Kill him...

- Avenge Sir Wang...

Kill him...

- Kill him...

- Avenge Sir Wang...

Kill him...

Wang Zhi wasn't the murderous type.

We found Miss Qilan at

a hostel outside town.

You can go.

Open up. I said, open up!

Stop, stop.

No one's to be killed.

They're all Wang Zhi's people.

No matter what I did,

they wouldn't say where Miss Qilan was.

Not until Lord Cao arrived anyway.

They'll all die today.

General Guan,

If we don't kill these people,

and this gets out...

your name... will stink.

And the stench will last forever.

Kill anyone and die by my hand.

Forget being a hero, then.

You'll throw away your reputation.

I said, kill anyone and die by my hand.

As Lord Guan doesn't want anyone killed,

let them go.

But breathe one word about this...

and I mean one word...

and I'll destroy you and your families.

Thank you.

Brother Guan,

You take the role of the hero.

I'll play the lesser man.

Luoyang had been hell.

But daylight has returned.

Lord Cao's beneficence is boundless.

Pity that outside Luoyang it's still hell.

Hell is just a one way of looking at it.

Heaven or hell,

it's in your eyes.

I'd like to see heaven everywhere.

Seems I was born into the wrong age.

If you desire something too much...

you create your own hell.

It would be easier not to desire at all.

Hell contains its own heaven,

and heaven its hell.

The measure of your desire is up to you.

Then I shall desire less.

The horses are fed.

Thank you, sir, for saving us.

I'll take my leave.

Thank you for your teaching.

Thank you very much.

Farewell.

Sit.

In your eyes, am I heaven or hell?

Both come from people's imagination.

When you first asked me to stay...

you asked me to kill people.

How many deaths are enough?

You, Guan Yunchang, are a great hero.

In such times, can a hero avoid killing?

How many, exactly?

Yuan Shao has 200,000 troops: kill 20,000.

It'll destroy them. It'll be a rout.

And after that?

How will peace come?

We'll win over the House of Sun,

stabilize the Western frontier.

And then?

And then...

the realm united, all can rest.

I think... peace will reign.

Can you guarantee it?

No.

You can't rely on people,

only law and discipline.

But if the people...

lack righteousness, how can there be law?

With so much enmity,

how can there be righteousness?

Won't 20,000 deaths spark

even more enmity?

It's the smallest possible price.

What if I... assassinated Yuan Shao?

Good.

You'll have saved 20,000 lives.

Where is Yuan Shao?

You agree to work for me?

I've not agreed to anything.

After killing Yuan, I'll

live an ordinary life.

I don't believe it.

A hero can never return to ordinary life.

Besides, Liu Bei will be furious.

Better for you to go with me to Xudu.

Liu Bei is charitable and pragmatic.

He'd accept a fait accompli.

If...

I stayed, I'd have no purpose.

I'd rather go home and farm.

Well?

Alright. It's a promise.

Sir, is Guan Yunchang really staying?

A good horse won't graze

in old pasture. Why?

Because it's not fresh.

Exactly.

Liu Bei's time is past.

I, Cao Cao...

am fresher goods.

Sister-in-law.

Up ahead is the Yellow

River ferry crossing.

I'll take my leave.

Brother, Brother.

Sister-in-law.

Brother.

A journey of 1000 miles, then a farewell.

Cao Cao drugged you that day, but not me.

Your true feelings...

are clear to me.

In Ruyang, I'll ask Liu Bei...

to betroth me to you instead.

Don't be silly.

You're already his, how

can you say such a thing?

You're the one I want.

The risks you've taken for me...

are engraved in my mind.

What you did years ago,

why didn't you tell me?

Don't say...

you've never loved me?

If you love me too...

Liu Bei will grant us our desire.

- Come with me now.

- And if I don't...

will you still love me?

Farewell.

You mustn't help Cao Cao.

Put down that blade.

If I didn't love you.

Would you be Liu Bei's enemy?

You misunderstand.

Only if Liu Bei rules will there be peace.

A man like Cao Cao can

only make things worse.

All I want is to do some good.

Do I really have no choice but to kill?

It seems that I don't.

Please tell Brother Liu...

that Guan Yunchang is dead.

I am so sorry.

Don't be sorry.

Please don't worry.

I won't let Brother Liu down.

Take care.

M'Lord, want to see what's going on?

Even a hero can be defeated by a beauty.

No rush.

Protect Lord Cao.

Did you order this?

Was it you?

Kill him.

I gave the order.

Cao Cao,

let Guan Yunchang go...

and the world will never know peace.

You don't think I'd dare kill him?

Then do it.

Otherwise, from today...

the world... will never know peace.

Alright.

I'll kill him for sure.

Your Majesty, we should go.

That won't be possible.

You have to kill me, do you?

One can't disobey the emperor.

One can't disobey the emperor?

One can't disobey the emperor?

Even at the expense of your own life?

My life isn't in my hands.

You're no different.

Brother, don't make this hard.

Out of my way. Who blocks me dies.

Touch him and die by my hand.

Brother Guan, stop fighting.

You're an evil ruler.

One can't disobey?

I'll kill you, you evil ruler.

Hold it.

I have Heaven's mandate. You can't kill me.

You have the mandate, I have the Way.

Guan Yunchang,

you can't kill the emperor.

Otherwise...

it'll unleash complete chaos.

Even more people will die.

Understand?

For a woman...

who didn't love you...

you pit yourself against the world.

She was your sister-in-law.

Another man's woman.

Alive, what could she do for you?

I promise, once there's peace...

I'll kill this evil ruler myself.

And I'm a man of my word.

Cao Cao,

This world...

can't be pacified by you.

Sister-in-law,

let's go.

"For seven years,"

"Guan Yunchang fought alongside Liu Bei..."

"against the rival kingdoms of Wei and Wu."

"China became a living hell."

"2O years later,"

"Wei and Wu attacked Guan's army."

"Awaiting reinforcements..."

"they fought to the last man."

"Guan was captured and killed..."

"and his head sent to Cao Cao."

Today, I want everyone to know...

it was wolves in sheep's clothing

who killed Guan Yunchang.

You mean Sun Quan of Wu?

He was just the one who acted.

There's also Liu Bei and Kong Ming.

I want everyone to know...

It was they... who killed Guan Yu.

Now, more warfare is inevitable.

Of course. Without Guan Yunchang,

the victor...

is hard to predict.

I never imagined that even dead...

he could be used by you.

I never said I was a lamb.

"Cao Cao buried Guan's

head with ceremony..."

"hoping to incite war between Shu and Wu."

"Wu gave Guan's body a regal funeral"

"and built a temple to him."

"But the alliance was shattered."

"After honoring Guan Yunchang..."

"Liu attacked Wu once more."
