The Warring States Page #3

that's nothing, not a big deal.

I've been taught astronomy by Guiguzi,

just skin-deep.

I took a shot, that's it.

Brother.

What's up, Bin?

Are you alright?

No, not really.

What do you mean by that?

You asked me?

You don't care if I was injured, do you?

Of course I care about you.

Come to Wei with me.

Where're you taking him?

Hey!

Don't go.

No, no, no, Ma'am.

- Put your sword back.

- Qi emperor is here.

The Wei emperor ordered me to

take Sun Bin back.

What if we don't let him go?

We'll attack immediately,

right to the capital of Qi.

What about the bordertown?

That's small stuff.

You can have it back

once you give Sun away.

Okay.

Let's go, Bin.

No, I'll wait for Tian Xi.

Come on.

Come on, let's go, Bin.

If she really wants to see you off,

she should have been here.

She said she would come.

Ma'am...

Time to set off.

Brother,

time to go!

Every single night, I look toward

the direction of Qi...

Pang Juan has turned against us...

Five years...

The flute saved me,

I want you to have it...

Do you know

what's the most beautiful thing...

...that I've ever seen in this world?

What?

Your eyes.

Here you are, the famous Sun Bin.

So, Master Guiguzi...

...passed down his essential ideas

to you?

Bin is much more talented than me.

This is?

This is the place

where I dig into the art of war.

I feel calm in this room.

- It's nice.

- No one ever came here.

Just us two.

No one else.

Bin,

come here.

Write down everything

Master Guiguzi had taught you.

What for?

I wanna read it.

- Cheers!

- Cheers!

Mr. Sun, I've got a question for you,

we've seized the bordertown of Qi,

why not follow it up to the capital?

You won't achieve it.

- Why not?

- Why not?

The bordertown you captured...

...is of no use.

How can it be?

The more military forces are required,

the more troops battle for,

the less important the place is.

- Why is that?

- I don't get it.

- Why?

- Can't get it.

Sir, would you...

...fight for the bordertown?

I wouldn't.

Why not?

If there're no more wars,

no more conflicts,

no more soldiers sent to the battlefront,

will you be here?

- No.

- Of course not.

Have you ever thought about going home

and having a peace and quiet life?

- Yeah.

- Sure.

I've got the news...

...before you got back,

the emperor wants Sun's tactics

and then gets rid of him.

Sun's in no danger now 'cause I am here.

Haven't you heard about that?

The more information you get,

the more risks you take.

What you did is already a big risk.

Is settling down here...

...your real intention

when you came to Wei?

Don't think of me as an idiot

who knows nothing.

When the Qi emperor gave me to Wei,

I knew it was a trap.

We must be fully prepared

when it comes to tactics.

No matter how small or unimportant

the city is, we get the chance of triumph.

That's because we are set.

We have minimum amount of people

with maximum of capacity.

'Cause we're fight a just war.

No nation is invincible...

...if there's no sense ofjustice.

Trustworthy and democratic nations last...

...while those using too much armed forces

for aggression are doom to be destroyed.

Sun Bin!

Wake up!

Get to work, immediately.

The emperor is waiting.

I... I've got it done.

Are you my buddy or not?

I certainly am.

Then write it down, the tactics!

It's capital crime to deceive the emperor

with false information.

Neither of us can take it.

It's not false, okay?

I'm gonna explain to the emperor.

- Mr. Sun.

- Mr. Sun.

Your Majesty,

I saw two vultures...

...fighting for food in the sky

when I was hunting.

I shot at them with a thought that...

...they were acting exactly like

Sun Bin and Pang Juan.

Sir, please come with us.

Please.

Come with us.

- Where're we going?

- Come on, just go.

Just follow us.

- Where am I going?

- Come on, sir.

Hurry up.

Sir, please.

No, no.

Tell me what's this all about.

We're sending you back to Qi.

Why?

Go, right now!

Get on the carriage.

Someone's trying to kill you, you know?

If you don't run away,

you will definitely get killed.

I won't get killed;

no one's gonna kill me.

Fathead!

Take him away.

Please make them stop.

I can't leave.

Please...

- Pang Juan! Pang Juan!

- Get inside, sir.

Hey, bro.

- General.

- General.

What do you think you're doing, Wan?

Sending him away,

to Qi.

Well then, could you tell me...

...what is the problem if Sun stays?

What're you doing here with Wan?

You know, just... hanging out.

Bin,

you lied.

Sun Bin turns out to be a traitor.

Should he be sentenced to death?

Pang, when have you become...

...so irresolute?

Your Highness,

the whole world will regard us

as genius-murderers...

...if we kill Sun.

In that case, no gifted man

will ever come to us.

What's your opinion?

We don't have to make him dead;

make him a prisoner.

He will eventually give in

and give us what we want.

Brilliant idea!

Can we come up with a way of

avoiding his escape?

Traitors shall be punished severely.

How about cutting his kneecaps off?

That's it.

Tomorrow...

...I'll send you back to Qi.

Really?

I've been longing to go back there,

this place is boring.

'Cause she's not here, right?

Tian Xi?

Yes, I miss her, I really do.

I'll miss you too if we part.

Don't worry, I'll visit you.

Why is the Wei emperor suspicious of me?

Never mind.

I told them...

...Master didn't pass anything down

to you, right?

No, no.

What I wrote is what he taught me.

I've learned the crap you wrote!

Yes, that's it.

Brother,

I don't care if the Wei emperor

believes me; but you...

What?

What is it?

Hey!

Are you angry with me?

Sun Bin.

Sun Bin, you trade

our deployment information...

...with Qi for money.

You're accused of treason.

According to the emperor's order,

you shall be put into prison instantly.

Your kneecaps will be cut off.

Bin,

do you consider...

...those fatuous monarchs...

...as greedy villains?

Only when they get killed...

...will the world be peaceful...

...and people content.

Can you achieve it?

If you can do it,

I'm willing to be your assistant.

No, I can't.

Can you assist me, then?

Recite the things you've learned,

the art of war.

Bro, don't leave me alone.

I'm terrified.

Juan, stay with me!

Juan, come back!

Don't panic.

It only takes a moment.

Go and seek help from Tian Xi.

Yes, Ma'am.

General, one knee is done.

Did he recite anything?

We gagged him.

Why are you laughing?

Why?

No, no, no...

Bin...

Bin,

it's okay, it's alright.

Tell us about the art of war,

tell us the real version.

No way.

Why?

No way...

Juan, kill me, please.

Cut the other kneecap off.

Yes, sir.

Kill me... Please kill me.

We'll drift into a war with Wei...

...if we rescue Sun.

There will be a war sooner or later.

Only Sun is comparable with Pang.

Your Majesty...

A reward of one hundred taels of gold

and a promotion...

...will be given for

being Sun Bin's body double.

I heard Sun's kneecaps had been cut off.
