The Promise Keepers (The Classic of Mountains and Seas / Shan Hai Jing Zhi Shang Gu Mi Yue / 山海经之上古密约)

Guardians of the Ancient Oath

I find there is

a forest of superior tea

back behind the house.

You’re fond of yacca tea.

So I made some.

Yacca tea is the tribute to the royal.

Now I am down and out.

I don’t deserve it.

If you don’t want tea,

I’ll boil some spring water

for you.

The spring here is clear and sweet.

Jinyang.

I’m no longer a marquis.

In my heart,

you’re always a marquis.

You saved me.

I will never forget your kindness.

You are a noble lady.

I am disabled.

The life is dangerous

and fearsome.

You don’t have to do this.

Leave here.

I’m the daughter of the governor nominally.

Actually, I’m just an orphan

who lives on my father’s legacy

with the title of

Ladyship.

Blessed by Heaven,

I was betrothed to you.

You, the steward,

and all the maids in the mansion

treat me like a treasure.

The mansion was gone,

but you

are still alive.

You lost the title of Marquis,

but you’re still my husband.

We swore the oath to live and die together.

Since we’re married,

I will keep the oath.

Whether rich

or poor,

I will be with you

forever and ever.

Look around.

There are mountains and springs, tea and food.

Living here until death

isn’t a bad ending.

In the past,

our life was restrained

more or less.

No freedom.

From now on,

we may

live a peaceful life here.

Alright?

I’m going to

prepare snacks for you.

Today,

did you hide anything from me?

You always tell me

to put Baize first.

What you did was for Baize?

Or you

have lost your direction?

What do you mean, brother?

I fall in love

with a hero in the prairie.

Is it wrong?

Women of Baize

shall not be trapped by love.

I am a woman of Baize,

but first I’m a woman.

I know how to make

right decisions.

Brother. You should

be confident to yourself.

You tutored me in person,

didn’t you?

If the matter

is over like this,

I won’t bring it up.

But Ba Yin,

don’t ruin the whole Baize

because of your love.

If he can love me,

then he is my life.

If...

Say no more, brother.

I know what to do.

Marquis. Do you get used

to this place I found for you?

I come uninvited. Sorry.

Things has changed.

It isn’t up to me to be picky.

Will you really forget the hatred

and live here

until death?

What are you implying?

The King.

The King?

I won’t blame him

for what he did to me.

What if he isn’t the King?

What are you talking about?

Have you ever thought about

why the King did so?

Let me tell you the truth.

Baili Haohe

who you saw in court

wasn’t the true king

of Yo,

but a puppet being manipulated.

A decoy

created by demon.

Are you sure?

I believe you’ve noticed

Baili Haohe’s

suspicious deeds

could not done by humans.

But now

I am disabled.

What can I do?

Will you allow

the demons to wreck Yo

and kill the innocent people?

What do you mean?

Save the world.

Save the world?

I am nothing but a disabled man.

How can I save the world?

You don’t believe in yourself.

I’m an ordinary human.

What capability do I have to save Yo?

Marquis.

Don’t you really know

your capabilities?

Capabilities?

You are the Chosen One.

It isn’t the right time, though.

And

I come here

to tell you that

Baili Hongshuo isn’t dead.

Where is he?

I will

arrange your reunion soon.

We looked around all night.

Nothing is found.

General. We have no clue.

Can we find him?

I think so.

He should

still be around Ye City these days.

Where are we going now?

Take a rest here first.

Set off at night.

OK.

Make a fire.

Huyu needs to meet Great King.

Please tell him.

Great King is ill.

Elders. Please go back.

We are worried about his illness

and specially come.

What illness

makes him

rest in bed more than ten days?

I thank you

for your concern in Great King’s stead.

Physician has examined him.

It isn’t serious.

He’ll be fine after some rest.

Which physician examined him?

Elder Huyu knows

Lang's law and customs best.

Don’t you know

asking about Great King’s illness

is prohibited?

Beast.

After you’re promoted,

you seem to know Lang’s law

better than me.

Let me ask you.

Great King left Shuchi privately

and neglected state affairs.

What guilt is that?

You step out of line.

Great King doesn’t leave Shuchi

or neglect the state affairs.

You have no manner.

Are you discontented

with Great King?

Great King is ill

or he isn’t in the

tent?

No matter what you say,
