I'm going to kill him sooner or later

If one step is slow, every step is slow

The Empress wants him to [?govern] JiangSu

So what?

He Kui

This time, there's nothing I can do

If we can drag Cao ErHu over to our side

He will never be able to keep the JiangSu position

Drink up!

... swore a blood oath

[?]

[?] Righteously under heaven and earth

Prayed not to be born together, but to die together

[?] Together in prosperity

[?]

Lord Cao

You fought the battle

But the accolade was given to another

Are you angry?

So what?

This brotherhood that they sing about

If you were brothers

Why did he leave you holed up here?

Make you break your promises, and be laughed at by the people

Cut out this weed

Join with me, and everything is solved.

Nanjing will be ours to use

Think about it, Lord Cao

General He is looking out for your interests

Come

Well struck

The little revenge that you take on him is easy

But your anger inside is harder to solve

Lord Cao, take your time to consider it. No rush

Lord He

Are you wondering,

how long it takes to get from the Palace gate to here?

As a youngster standing outside the Palace gates, I wondered the same thing

But by the time you get here

Your temples are already grey

It took a total of 30 years

A shame, I almost can't walk anymore

Xiao LiZi

Empress says

You are still young, [?]

Empress also says

Pang ChingYun fought hard to take back Nanjing

And bequeaths him the golden jacket, and the JiangSu [?governorship]

Hurry and give thanks!

I, Pang ChingYun humbly request the Empress exempt

taxes in the JiangSu region for 3 years

to help save the people

Permitted

My thanks, Empress

You kill in SuZhou, and save in Nanjing

Lord Pang is a leopard who can change his spots

You really are an official to unite the country

It is because Lord Pang doesnt belong to any faction

That he got the Empress' blessing

Nanjing is yours

[?]But Lord Jiang is angry about the sickness from the south

And He Kui is eager for action

Can you hold your position?

Lord Pang, [?] I've looked it up

Take the post at noon on the 8th of April

A good day for the people, the country and for you

Very auspicious

[?] Your actions should be purposeful

Lord Pang, [?] you should live well

[?] Live well

I have a official business to attend

Excuse me

[?]

[?] But the people in the manor are all heavily armed soldiers

Lord Pang

The Empress is concerned

I will disarm the Mountain army

Good

If Lord Pang's army comes to a close

Then you can focus on your official duties

Your Brother Cao ErHu

Says that he wants to leave SuZhou, then what?

[?] Chaos

In Nanjing

Privately distributing military funds

Was a Mountain Army man named Cao!

My Lord, it's dangerous

My whole life, has been like skating on thin ice

Do you think I'll make it to the other side?

You're awake?

I'm awake

Maybe they're right

Nanjing

Doesn't need people like me

I want to return home

Are you willing?

I don't need it any more

What is it?

Master Er, something big has happened

The Kui army is rebelling, He Kui wants to kill Lord Pang

It's nothing

Master Er

Big Brother

Master Er

Big Brother

Master Er

Where is Big Brother?

Lord Pang left for the capital, but hasn't returned

You've decided?

Then I'll go

Who are they?

Imperial guards from the capital

Get the red tablecloth, we'll need it in a while

We'll need this in a while

Act quickly

-3rd Master

-What's this? Is there a guest?

Don't you know? Lord Pang has invited Lord Cao for dinner

They've reconciled

Big Brother has returned?

I heard he's coming back in the afternoon

why have all the guards in the household been changed?

General Cao, wait!

General Cao

I've received report that Lord Pang will take the JiangSu governorship

He Kui wants to rebel

Lord Pang can't enter the city

He will meet you at JiangHuZhen to discuss the countermeasure

Get WuYang to join us there with his men

WuYang

I'm looking for Brother Er

Brother Er went to see Big Brother Pang

You're hiding something from me

There are a lot of new people in the yard

You are making a move on Brother Er?

Because of his wife?

You've forgotten our blood oath?

When is Brother Er arriving?

Give me the time!

'Hai' Hour

Brother Er is arriving at 'Hai' Hour

You wait for me

You scared me

Elder Brother's wife

WuYang has come to bid you farewell

Are you leaving?

I'll deliver you

Where am I going?

I'm waiting for ErHu to come back

I've just made dinner for him

Because of you, Big Brother wants to kill Brother Er

That's not possible. It can't be.

Come down

I won't

I need to put up these curtains

Have you ever seen curtains as beautiful as this?

I haven't seen curtains as beautiful as this for over 10 years

Yesterday in the shop, I also saw a red one

I wanted the green one, but also the red one

I asked ErHu what I should do?

ErHu said

Green one this year, Red one next year

Next year I'll be 29

After 14 years of war

I didn't die of starvation, or get stabbed

It's because my life is big

Next year I have to put up the red curtains

Next year I have to put up the red curtains

Come down

You won't kill me, I won't let you kill me

If I don't kill you, how can I save Brother Er

If you kill me, can you save Brother Er?

I don't know

But it's all I can do

If an outsider disrupts our brotherhood

They must die!

And risked their lives to earn a bite to eat

These were the first comrades in the Mountain army

And the 3 of us, were their leaders

Today, I need a good place to send you off

I said once before

That one day, you will realize I was right

This time next year, I will offer you a drink

And tell you what I have done over the year

I've just returned from the capital

I want to tell you, we've suffered 5 years of hardship

Today

Our hopes are about to come reality

You will eventually understand

XiaoQi and GouZi's ...

Deaths were worth it

The men of SuZhou

Their deaths were also worth it

You ...

You ...

were also worth it

You wanted to commit mutiny in SuZhou

I would have killed you then

But I couldn't do it

But now the Imperial court

The Imperial court wants you

Tell me, what can I do?

ErHu

Rest in peace

Big Brother

Don't kill Brother Er

Big Brother

Big Brother

Don't kill Brother Er

His wife is already dead

Don't kill Brother Er

His wife is already dead

There's no reason for you to kill him now

Big Brother

His wife is already dead

[?]

[?]

Pang ChingYun's ceremony to become JiangSu Governor

Will be at noon of the 8th of April

He actually killed Brother Er

Before, he said killing GouZi and the captives,

was so that the common people would not get abused

He was lying

It was all for himself

But he had forgotten,

our blood oath

A fence with only 3 supports

Without Lord Jiang

It seems somewhat quieter

Quarter till noon

Stop!

Brothers who kill my brothers

Must be killed!

Brothers who kill my brothers, must be killed

The time has come
