Pledge of Allegiance (Brotherhood of Blades: Shadow of Mountain and River / Xiu Chun Dao Shan He Zhi Ying / 山河之影)

Take this.

You look better with it.

Sister.

Don't put your hopes on men.

Come and sit.

Don't stand there.

Thank you, Your Excellency.

You...

Your Excellency,

you're the Chief Commander.

I have something to ask you.

Is it about a case

or personnel?

Both.

How many people have you killed

as a Brocade-clad Guard?

I don't remember.

Then did those people

deserve to be killed?

Yes.

But

I still feel guilty.

If someone

colluded with the rebels

and has power in the Bureau.

Should we kill him?

Yes.

If someone

colluded with the rebels

and kept it secret,

which causes a risk for the court,

should we kill him?

Yes.

If someone

had no choice but

to do these things,

had never

harmed anyone

and even stopped the rebels from harming people,

should

I kill him or not?

Even if that person

should not be killed now,

in the end,

he would be killed.

You may be able to convince yourself now.

But maybe one day,

you can't convince yourself anymore.

Just one wrong step

can put you on the wrong path.

By then,

when you raise your blade,

will you kill him

or yourself,

the one who protected him?

I would rather

wait.

Wait until that day comes.

And maybe

that day will never come.

Zheng.

That's not like you.

What are you doing in the carriage?

I just cut it.

Let me see.

No.

I'm afraid it'll be torn again.

It's okay.

I told you it would be torn.

This papercutting should be red.

Next time you cut it with red paper,

it definitely won't tear apart.

Let's go.

Can you spare us?

I can.

But this Xiuchun Sword

cannot.

Shu Tang,

I can't go anymore.

You go first.

I'll stall him.

I won't let you kill Lu Zheng.

If you insist on killing him,

then take my life.

I also won't let Lu Zheng kill you.

If he wants to kill you,

I can only pay with my life.

You liar.

Only you know

how much truth there are in your words.

I'm afraid

you don't even know it.

July 26th, the third year of Jianwen's reign,

Sergeant Li Dongfang

executed a Night Scout.

Lord Lu,

this credit

is mine.

Colonel.

Shu Tang was killed by Li Wu.

Her body was thrown into the river.

Shu Tang!

Shu Tang!

Shu Tang!

Shu Tang.

Shu Tang!

Shu Tang.

Shu Tang.

Shu Tang.

Shu Tang.

Shu Tang.

Meng, I found her!

Coming.

Hurry up.

How is she?

How is she?

She choked on water and fainted.

She's still feverish.

Hurry up. Get on the carriage.

I heard

only Ms. Zhang has this kind of flower.

Isn't it a pity to waste it?

Ms. Zhang is gone.

There's no need to keep the flowers.

Let's get straight to the point.

Before you arrived in Nanjing,

there was only one Colonel in the Night Scouts.

That's me.

Now,

there is still only one Colonel in the capital.

That's you.

Li Dongfang.

What you did before,

I won't say.

What you will do,

I won't ask.

Colonel Li is indeed someone

who looks at the bigger picture.

I only have one request.

To maintain this war conflict.

No one loses

and no one wins.

I'll help whoever is weak.

In the end, it will end with a truce.

After the war,

the people behind you will be doomed.

I've told you everything.

We have to work together.

To show my sincerity,

I'll give you a big present.

Colonel Li,

see if this gift is enough.

Let the canal boats transport the rebels' military expenses to the north.

Using the canal boats as a distraction

is a brilliant plan.

Our priority now

is to find a way

to hide it from His Majesty and the Brocade-clad Guards.

Please enlighten me.

This matter can only be done if you get imprisoned

in the Imperial Prison

of the Bureau.

Guys, get to work.

Open the city gate.

Brother,

aren't you a fake?

Why do you care more than the real one?

I'm tired.

When I get off work,

I'll take you to a bath in the bathhouse.

Let's peel some garlic, have a bowl of meat noodles

and drink some wine.

What do you think?

The meat noodles,

if you mince the garlic and mix it in,

that just smells...

Just hearing about it makes me hungry.

My lord, please forgive me.

Well, if you stay here,

can you feel less hungry?

Just leave.

Stop!

Please spare my life!

There was a war in our hometown.

We are all refugees.

We are not allowed to enter the city now.

We haven't eaten for days.

My lord.

Yes, my lord.

Today,

I'll treat all of you

to a meal in the city.

Thank you, my lord. Thank you, my lord.

Thank you, my lord.

Sir,

what would you like?

Get me a jar of Autumn Dew wine first.

And prepare ten tables of fine food.

Ten tables of fine food!

Sir, you ordered so many tables of food.
