Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy

Look.

It's not healing at all.

It's even worse now.

We'll set out to Tian Qi City now.

You're worried that you can't protect me?

I'm worried that your wound is infected.

An alive and active Muyun Lu could end up as a corpse.

Hold on to this.

Once you get to Qing Yu Ridge's Long Yuan Chamber

and find that decoding book

you'll be able to decipher this map.

Then...

you'll be able to find the Sovereign Seal.

Should any mishap befall me during this period of time

you must find the seal.

I'll inform the official courier inn now.

All the Lion Fang Guards in the city are searching for you.

Even if I have to carry you off by force, I'll get you back to Tian Qi City.

I dare you!

Prince Lu!

You care about him.

- I don't. - If you do, you do.

You can't lie.

You can't even make up an excuse spontaneously.

I don't care about him at all.

I'm just concerned that there's no one to protect you

if you have him killed.

Your father was bedridden for so many years.

Now that he's finally recovered, don't you want to see him?

It's because this meet-up is so precious...

that I don't wish to return home like this.

Is it so important to find the Sovereign Seal?

You know about the Great Duan Empire's ancestral code?

I'm all ears.

Whoever it is in the Muyun family

the one who finds the Sovereign Seal will be anointed the crown prince.

Then he shall take the throne.

The royal court has made an announcement to all.

Muyun Sheng has been anointed the crown prince.

Because of that, I must find the Sovereign Seal all the more.

You want to vie with Muyun Sheng for the throne?

Yes.

Prince Lu.

I thought that you didn't care for the throne.

I didn't.

With my temperament, I had wanted a quiet life.

Whatever my father asks of me, I'll do it to perfection.

The world...

Others can vie for it.

Su Yu Ning.

That was until I met you.

You wanted the throne for yourself.

Why would you make someone else take the blame for it?

Listen.

It's not exactly such a good thing to have read too many history books.

It's because you'll be well aware that

without sufficient power, you can't have what you truly want.

If you give up your authority

you won't be able to protect your loved ones.

Since I now have someone I love...

From now on...

I will vie for her sake.

I don't need anyone to vie for the throne for my sake.

You're destined to become the empress.

My father...

He highly believes in prophecies.

He'll surely act according to the prophecies.

If the future emperor is Muyun Sheng...

Su Yu Ning...

You'll be bestowed to Muyun Sheng in marriage.

What can they do if I refuse to comply?

Should you defy the royal decree...

will your entire family be able to survive?

Han Jiang, get the horses ready.

We'll set out tomorrow morning.

No.

It isn't safe.

Since you no longer take the surname of Muru

you are but a mere soldier in the army.

I just gave you my orders.

It's not up for negotiation.

Fine, then.

I'll dress your wound first.

Han Jiang! What are you doing?

Don't worry.

He's all right.

He's only passed out temporarily.

Su Yu Ning.

Since I once saved your life, I have a favor to ask of you.

What is it? Do tell.

Look after this troublesome young master for me.

I'll look for the Lion Fang Guards outside the city

to carry him back to Tian Qi City.

You knocked him out just for that?

You have to accompany him all the way back to Tian Qi City

until his injuries are fully healed.

He will only be obedient with you by his side.

You truly think so?

Yes.

Fine.

Su Yu Ning.

As for Nanny Su...

I'm really sorry.

Wang Duo.

Kill this young lady.

You mustn't forget that you're a Tian Luo Assassin!

Don't hurt my young mistress!

Don't come over here!

Wang Duo, what are you doing?

Wang Duo...

Don't hurt my young mistress.

Wang Duo.

Muru Han Jiang!

It's like in the game of Go when you make the critical move!

Cut from the Tiger's Mouth!

My eye!

My young mistress...

She's just like my...

My daughter...

An assassin with emotions...

He's as good as useless.

Take Su Yu Ning away.

Su Yu Ning, we have to go.

You risked it all to defeat Long Jin Huan.

I'm grateful to you for rescuing us from Subterranean City.

But I saw you kill Nanny Su right before my eyes.

However hard I try to defend you in my own mind

whenever I close my eyes every night before bed...

all I see are your vicious eyes in that moment.

And the blood that was all over Nanny Su.

Her face filled with yearning...

Han Jiang...

That very sight...

I don't know how long it will take me to forget that.

Forget it all.

So long.

When you saw me, you said, "How are you?"

When you leave, you say, "So long."

Han Jiang.

You really are so polite.

Definitely.

Those who grew up in the streets...

We are all like this.

Apart from hurting others...

what else can you do?

Come and take a look!

What does that man look like?

General, the informant has quite a small face.

His features are delicate.

His eyes are relatively bigger and his hair is slightly long.

It's past his waist.

But he's very tall.

He's about...

About this height.

Father!

Father!

Father.

Prince Lu is injured.

But it's not life-threatening.

It's just that he's a bit displeased.

We should set out as soon as possible.

Have you found the informant?

Not yet.

We can ask Prince Lu slowly on the way.

Perhaps then, we might learn a thing or two about it.

All right.

Well done.

Father.

I...

I didn't do much at all.

Father...

What would you like me to do, Father?

I want you dead.

From the moment His Majesty learns that you're still alive

you're as good as a son of the Muru family.

Do all of Father's sons have to die?

Of course not.

They are ones who will keep the Great Duan Empire peaceful.

Then why--

Why would I be sure to bring shame to your surname?

You only just met me today.

How do you know that I'll definitely be a failure?

On the day you were born...

the astrologist in our manor foretold your destiny.

He actually said that you...

You'll become the next emperor of the Great Duan Empire.

His Majesty has always strongly believed in the Royal Divination Sect.

Be it true or not...

Once His Majesty learns of your prophecy

there will be no peace in the Great Duan Empire anymore.

Although it is the Muyun family on the throne of the Great Duan Empire

the military power is solely held by our family, the Murus.

This is a blood oath pledged by both families' ancestors.

The Muru family can advise the emperor and supervise all officials.

This is great authority and such an honor.

However, at the same time...

it also causes emperors to doubt us.

The Muru family...

We are already treading on thin ice.

If your prophecy to seize the throne is to be made known
