Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy

I never wanted anyone to decide how my life would be.

Moreover, I'm unwilling to let anyone use me

to threaten the person who warms my heart so dearly.

Su Yu Ning? Su Yu Ning.

Anyone there?

You'll be all right.

Su Yu Ning...

If she dies, I'll bury all of you along with her!

I have some external medicine for wounds.

But I don't fear death either.

Save Su Yu Ning.

You can ask me to do anything.

Eat this.

Aren't you afraid that it's poison?

As long as you'll save her, I'll eat anything.

If you die, there's nothing you can do about it.

Whether I save her or not, why would you have a say in it?

Evil wench.

Ugly toad.

No one will ever like you.

No one will like--

My heart might be ugly.

But I look pretty.

Someone will like me.

I really don't understand why people like you

would just forfeit your lives for the sake of someone else.

Your Highness.

The carriage is ready.

Let's get going.

Take these two fools with us.

We'll set out to Tian Qi City.

Where's Su Yu Ning?

Where is she?

Get back here!

Get back here!

Acting upon your instructions

I found the leader of the Tian Luo Assassins, Long Jin Huan.

This man once laid out the formation of snare wire on the bustling streets.

He took the lives of his target and also 20 of the family members

without hurting any passersby.

He does a clean job and leaves no loose ends.

He's now at Novoland Inn.

It's too late.

Xue Huo has the intention to commit insubordination.

What matters right now isn't killing Muyun Sheng anymore.

However, Long Jin Huan has brought someone here.

Prince De had asked him to bring this man here.

Prince De is going to let Master Xue put this man to use.

Who is he?

Muru Han Jiang.

Muru Han Jiang?

Muru Han Jiang...

Have a Muru descendant assassinate His Majesty?

Break the oath between the two families...

The royal family vies against one another for the throne.

The officials vie for military power.

The Duan Empire will soon descend into chaos.

My son... is too ambitious.

Should we try to stop Prince De?

What is there to stop him from doing?

Get ready soon.

Bribe your way in and out to get me a permit back to Wan Prefecture.

Yes.

Don't bother Mister Mu Yuan with it.

Early this morning, I already prepared what Father needs.

With this document

there won't be any obstacles on your way back to Wan Prefecture.

If Father is annoyed that I acted without your permission

you can pretend that I never did this.

I just need to remind Father.

Speed is the best tactic in war.

Once Arch Prince Jing and Arch Prince Qing find out

that His Majesty is in trouble

there's no telling who will take over Tian Qi

if they deploy their army from their turf first.

Hand it over.

It seems that I can't keep anything from you.

Father, you're too modest.

You actually didn't wish to keep it from me.

When one is too clever

there's no telling if it's a blessing or a curse.

Mother is also clever.

Not only is Mother clever, but she's also the first daughter of the Muru family.

When Father returns to Wan Prefecture

you'll have to take precautions against Mother

when you gather your army.

You're dismissed.

De...

Sit.

How long has it been since Father last called me by my first name?

When you were 14 years old

I left you behind alone in Glass Valley.

You still bear a grudge against me for that?

Father.

Where are you taking me?

I'm taking you to... the wealthiest place in Novoland.

What for?

The best merchant in Novoland wishes to be your godfather.

He's teaching you how to manage a business.

Father, I want to become a lord.

I won't do businesses.

Being a lord...

It's too petty.

I have half a lifetime of experience as an example for you.

Only if you have goldlings can you own the world.

If this is such a good opportunity

why aren't you sending my eldest brother there?

Or my younger brother?

You're only sending me there.

Is it because...

I'm Muru Ping's son?

Father has always disliked me.

You're being too sensitive.

Among my sons...

you're my favorite.

Where's my father?

Your father has left.

He...

He really dumped me here.

He really does dislike me.

Father, you had assigned Godfather to me.

As well as a few uncles and aunts.

They all own goldlings and hold great vision.

They have a wide breadth of mind and great knowledge.

I've learned much from them.

In my mind, there's only... gratitude toward Father.

I hope...

you truly do think so.

Honestly, I've actually held a grudge against myself all these years.

Among my three sons

you're still... my favorite.

Both my older and younger brothers were bestowed commanderies by Father.

They are well off for life.

I understand.

Father finds them too weak.

You wish to keep them by your side to look after them.

As for me...

Although I'm often reprimanded by Father for my actions

I should know by now that Father means to love well

and whip well.

Father can tell who is capable.

That's why you're being so harsh on me.

In Father's mind, you definitely...

favor me the most.

It's good that you understand.

I wanted a son, second to none.

I had to choose cautiously.

Then train him painstakingly.

Now... he is second to none.

However, in his mind, he doesn't wish to be that son.

Kinship can't be forsaken.

What am I, if not your son?

You might be my enemy?

Father, one thing after another has occurred in the royal court.

Father should be tired.

You surely must be troubled.

I won't stay to disturb you.

I take my leave.

Hold on.

It's all about to get messy soon.

Tian Qi City will soon be filled with innocent souls.

Why don't you come back to Wan Prefecture with me?

Father, you don't want me to stay here...

Are you afraid that I'll snatch away what you want?

Although you're clever, you're still just flesh and blood.

The weapons know no mercy on the battlefield.

I'm worried about... your safety.

Words of concern from Father...

They shall keep my heart warm for life.

However, the bow is now stretched.

If this arrow isn't fired and great ambitions vanish into thin air...

it will surely be the greatest regret of a lifetime.

It seems...

you still wish to become the ruler of the world?

Father, you're still trying to sound me out?

You're right.

I wish to take over the world.

But the world that Father wants is definitely different from mine.

The world...

I just met Muyun De.

What did he say?

Don't worry.

She's wounded in her chest and lungs.

She can't even speak properly.

What's there to fear?

He wants us to hand over Han Jiang to him.

Didn't he want us to take him to Muyun Sheng?

Muyun De said that there's a change in plans

so now he needs to use Han Jiang for himself.

What for?

What do you intend to do?

Hand him over.

Ji Yun Cong.

You have a vicious mind.

Although you accepted his goldlings, we don't really need more.

I can pay you just as much as he did.

Han Jiang...

We can't hand him over to them.

What good is he to us?

Have you given in?
