The Promise Page #2
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
from the North Pole to the Palace.
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 battle field,
but in the hearts of the people
It's over. There is no way out for you.
What will they think of you now.
the King's assassin?
Here's a proposal if you are willing to jump off the cliff
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?
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
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 lt 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?
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 away 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!
Don't kill me. I'll help you escape
Aren't you worried I'll try to kill you again?
You won't
You have great trust. You really are from the Land of Snow
Where is he?
He has disappeared with the slave
Traitor!
Why did you kill the King for me?
Why did you jump off the cliff?
Why are you so kind to me?
Because I want you to fall in love with me
I cannot fall in love with anybody
But you already have, with me
Who are you really?
He is my slave
Master, I am back
He saved our lives
He is my slave. That is his duty
There?
Kiss me
Are you afraid I would push you away again?
Sleep well
Wait!
Wait!
You...Where do you think you are going?
Where are you going?
I must leave you
Why?
I tell you a secret
It's my destiny to lose every man I love
I cannot change it unless time flows backwards
river reverses its flow
and the dead comes back to life
Let what's passed between us stay in our memory
Let you, let me savor the fleeting kiss that we shared.
You deceived me!
Kunlun!
Kill her!
I cannot change my destiny, Kunlun
But you can learn to make up your own mind
When you know
whether or not you should strike
come and find me
Go then!
But I can promise you
