Legendary Amazons

Go back home.

Go back home, brothers.

Today, we can light lanterns for them.

But who will light them for us tomorrow?

Let their souls protect the border forever!

Fire!

Kill them!

Brothers! Charge!

Charge!

Guiying,

I must break our promise of living and dying together.

Take care of Wenguang!

Catch it.

Shoot.

Yes! Perfect shots!

Marshal, the pigeon is safe!

Come on.

Don't leave me!

Bodhisattva,

please send Zongbao back safely.

Please bless Zongbao.

Bless Zongbao.

Your lock of hair will be with me wherever I am.

Zongbao!

Go.

Yang Zongbao!

How can you call yourself a hero when you bring so many soldiers here?

The Liao intruders have set up the Tianmen Formation,

resulting in a huge loss of Song soldiers.

Only your "Dragon-Taming Staff" can break down the formation.

If you want the Dragon-Taming Staff, you must defeat me first.

Ladies first.

MU

Next time, it won't be your hair that I chop off.

Where shall I strike you next time?

The outcome is clear.

Miss Mu, I know you're not willing to rebel,

and I don't want to bring down the mountain village.

If you surrender and present the Dragon-Taming Staff,

I promise you that...

the Muke Village will be safe, and the villagers will enjoy a peaceful life.

Nothing has been settled today. We'll fight again tomorrow.

Uncle, do you really want to present the Dragon-Taming Staff and surrender?

Your father proclaimed himself as king due to compelling factors then.

I wanted to persuade you to dismiss the brothers earlier

but I did not get the chance.

Since the Yang family troop has a strategy, why don't we make one, too?

I don't want my brothers to be robbers for their entire lives.

Can Yang Zongbao be trusted?

Judging from his behaviour today, I believe he can be trusted.

Once we surrender, our lives are in their hands.

What will we do if the court breaks its word and doesn't let our brothers go?

Only when you're safe will your brothers also be safe.

One night has passed, what's your decision?

I've spent the entire night in contemplation, and I have decided...

to capture you!

- General! - General!

What shall we do?

Mu Guiying! You are incorrigible.

How can you call yourself a hero?

- Release me. - I'm not a hero at all.

I'm a defeated general. Do as you please.

Calm down. I won't kill you.

I want you to be my husband.

Be your husband?

Listen carefully. My siblings will be safe only when I am safe.

Your siblings?

Right!

MU

Zongbao, I've lost you.

I can't lose Wenguang as well.

THE YANG RESIDENCE

BRILLIANT DISCOURSE

Erniang, what are you writing?

I can't make out a single character.

This is called "Sealed Book". Got it?

Look at your face!

Sister, come over, take a look!

"The general's offspring inherits the loyalty of three generations."

- It's your turn now. - Sure!

Come on!

Grandmother, can this really fly?

You'll see for yourself soon.

OK, let's release them.

Yes!

Let's make a bigger one next time, so we can meet the goddess of the moon.

The goddess of the moon.

The big wind will blow you away to meet Zongbao at the border.

Come on.

Yes.

Sample my magic.

Want to know what I've invented?

Catch me and I will tell you.

Fine.

Tell me.

It will be useful for my father in dealing with the Western Xia troops.

Liulang.

Our grandson is 18 years old today.

Though I gave him the name Wenguang

in the hope that he would become an academic,

I have not forgotten your wish.

While teaching him literature,

I have also passed down your 84 spear forms to him.

This is Mu Guiying.

Dear ancestors,

today is Zongbao's birthday.

It is also Wenguang's rite of passage ceremony.

I hope that you can bless and protect Zongbao.

Let him return triumphantly as soon as possible.

Bless Wenguang with success in the government examinations.

Let him have a bright future as an official, while achieving glory for the family.

Yes, the court cares more about politics than military achievements.

It is suitable for Wenguang to follow an official's path,

helping the emperor to eradicate evil and enrich our country.

Liuniang, you are wrong.

- Good morning, Taijun! - Good morning, Taijun!

It's true that the court prefers political actions over military merits

but the official circle is just like the battlefield.

All the parties play tricks on each other.

It is no safer than the battlefield.

As the saying goes, to serve the emperor is like living with a tiger.

The danger is no less than that of a battlefield.

Nowadays, the border is in danger.

As citizens of Song,

the Yang family's men should fight on the battlefield.

If Wenguang simply abandons a military path and chooses politics,

the Yang ancestors will not be pleased!

Master.

Wow, what a big hole!

What on earth is the matter?

Madam. It's Master Wenguang.

He blew up the wall and ran out without permission!

Amitabha, please protect Wenguang.

He usually sneaks out to play by climbing over the wall.

What's the point of blowing it up?

My brother must have stolen Grandmother's fireworks.

- What kind of fireworks? - How can they be so powerful?

These fireworks can light up half the sky.

Of course they are very powerful!

Ah, wonderful! Zongbao can use them to deal with the Western Xia.

These fireworks are not used to kill people,

they'll be activated by my water timer to signify the start of today's birthday banquet.

Here comes Taijun.

Morning, Taijun.

Taijun, Wenguang ran away through this hole.

Were people sent to look for him?

I'll go and find him.

No, sister, you always overindulge him. Let me go instead!

Taijun, don't worry.

Though Wenguang is naughty, he is reasonable.

He'll come back himself before tonight's birthday banquet.

How can you be so certain?

Qiniang, go and find him at once.

- Go at once! - Yes!

HALL OF GRATITUDE

Qiniang is back!

Taijun, we've searched every corner of the city,

but found no trace of him!

Lord Fan is coming.

Welcome, Lord Fan.

Taijun, Yang ladies,

please don't be so courteous.

I've come due to an urgent matter. Please pardon me.

Is it related to Zongbao?

Yes.

An urgent report has come from the border today.

Tianmenguan is lost. Marshal Yang has...

- Has what? - He has been killed.

Princess! Are you OK? Princess!

Why?

Mother! You said Father was a great fighter.

How could he be killed?

Grandmother, you're a vegetarian and pray to Buddha every day.

Didn't you pray for my father?

Why didn't Buddha protect my father?

Jinhua!

If we were to pray to Buddha...

and he were then to satisfy all our demands...

that would be preferential treatment.

You chant the sutras day and night. For what?

He's back!

Young master is back!

Taijun, Grandmother, Mother! Take a look at my new horse!

What's wrong with you?

Father is dead!

Dead?

Don't joke like that!

Mother!

Is it true?

Mother!

Didn't you say Father was like the peerless god of war?

How could he be dead?

Taijun!

Didn't you say that Father was a great fighter, that he would always win?

Taijun!

How could Father be dead? Taijun!

Grandmother!

Wenguang, stop crying!

Stand up!

From now on,
