1
00:00:02,430 --> 00:00:05,350
Fengming, sir, let us take point!
2
00:00:05,350 --> 00:00:08,980
We might run up against the enemy, sir!
3
00:00:08,980 --> 00:00:10,940
The enemy's strategy does have a flaw.
4
00:00:12,190 --> 00:00:13,400
Ling Huang, sir!
5
00:00:14,860 --> 00:00:16,990
Ah, Fengming.
6
00:00:16,990 --> 00:00:19,240
What is it, Fengming?
7
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:21,290
I must sincerely apologize.
8
00:00:21,290 --> 00:00:24,370
The enemy's simultaneous
triple-strike strategy
9
00:00:24,370 --> 00:00:26,080
has cost us our main camp.
10
00:00:27,170 --> 00:00:29,670
The battle for Zhuyong is not yet over.
11
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,610
{\an8}"Movement in Xianyang"
12
00:02:18,570 --> 00:02:19,740
Which is he?
13
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,620
--Fengming, sir! Run!
--What?!
14
00:02:23,620 --> 00:02:24,700
You son of a--
15
00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:37,840
Bastard!
16
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,760
--Xin!
--Captain!
17
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,050
We're on our way!
18
00:02:42,050 --> 00:02:43,680
Let's go.
19
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,430
Y-Yes, sir!
20
00:02:46,930 --> 00:02:48,310
Xin!
21
00:02:48,310 --> 00:02:51,730
Xin?! Not Xin of the Fei Xin Force?
22
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,860
Not so fast.
23
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,360
What was that all about, Fengming?
24
00:03:01,450 --> 00:03:04,660
Ling Huang's aides...
25
00:03:04,660 --> 00:03:05,830
Fengming!
26
00:03:06,910 --> 00:03:09,000
All for the nation of Wei.
27
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,710
What?!
28
00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:14,290
Master tactician Ling Huang's might
was stuck 14 years in the past.
29
00:03:16,380 --> 00:03:20,170
But in one year, I will be on his level;
30
00:03:20,170 --> 00:03:23,550
in one year from that,
I will far outstrip him.
31
00:03:23,550 --> 00:03:26,100
If the strong aren't allowed to survive,
32
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:30,020
Wei will never make it
through the wars to come.
33
00:03:34,190 --> 00:03:35,610
Your name?
34
00:03:37,230 --> 00:03:39,110
Zhou Kuang.
35
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:41,740
Guard your tongue, Zhou Kuang.
36
00:03:41,740 --> 00:03:44,870
I am the greatest military
officer in all of Wei--
37
00:03:44,870 --> 00:03:47,450
and, starting now, your master.
38
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,410
Give Luan Beipo the command to evacuate.
39
00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:57,210
Ling Huang's biggest players,
starting with Luan Beipo the berserker,
40
00:03:57,210 --> 00:04:00,260
now all belong to me, Wu Fengming!
41
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,060
{\an8}"Wei"
42
00:04:13,140 --> 00:04:15,730
Look! The Wei army is running away!
43
00:04:15,730 --> 00:04:17,560
We won!
44
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:26,820
At the command of Wu Fengming,
having determined they could not rally,
45
00:04:26,820 --> 00:04:34,000
each far-flung Wei army
evacuated to Wei's interior--
46
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:35,000
{\an8}"Qin"
47
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,580
which meant
48
00:04:35,580 --> 00:04:37,880
victory for the Qin army.
49
00:04:41,050 --> 00:04:43,090
Kai Meng!
50
00:04:44,630 --> 00:04:47,010
Any orders to go after them?
51
00:04:47,010 --> 00:04:49,510
Just got this order: "Don't."
52
00:04:54,020 --> 00:04:55,230
Lord Ben...
53
00:05:00,190 --> 00:05:01,190
Yes.
54
00:05:02,860 --> 00:05:03,900
Xin!
55
00:05:03,900 --> 00:05:05,030
Captain!
56
00:05:08,370 --> 00:05:09,990
Hey.
57
00:05:09,450 --> 00:05:15,210
{\an8}"Fei"
58
00:05:09,990 --> 00:05:11,200
Lieutenant!
59
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,870
Lieutenant Yuan!
60
00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:15,540
You fought so hard, gang.
61
00:05:15,540 --> 00:05:17,920
Are you okay, Ze?
62
00:05:19,420 --> 00:05:21,050
I'm fine.
63
00:05:21,050 --> 00:05:22,590
We did it!
64
00:05:22,590 --> 00:05:23,880
Fetch some water!
65
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,470
Water! We need water!
66
00:05:25,470 --> 00:05:26,470
Got it!
67
00:05:34,980 --> 00:05:37,060
--Qiang--
--Hey! Lieutenant!
68
00:05:37,060 --> 00:05:38,560
Lieutenant Qiang Lei!
69
00:05:50,820 --> 00:05:56,330
This victory allowed Qin to capture
Wei's strategic base of Zhuyong.
70
00:06:04,210 --> 00:06:05,420
What?!
71
00:06:05,420 --> 00:06:09,510
You mistook Ling Huang for
Wu Fengming and killed him?
72
00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:11,680
Seems like.
73
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,640
No--he did, all right.
74
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,600
Hell, taking just Zi Bai's head
on top of our victory here
75
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,110
would have been enough of a prize.
76
00:06:23,110 --> 00:06:26,190
A significant bonus at the end there.
77
00:06:26,190 --> 00:06:27,190
That it was.
78
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,950
What's wrong? Ling Huang
was a great-general-caliber get.
79
00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:37,410
For someone who couldn't slay Kai Meng,
80
00:06:37,410 --> 00:06:41,130
it's like Ling Huang's head was
something I just stumbled across.
81
00:06:41,130 --> 00:06:45,590
But hey, I'll take all
the war glory I can get.
82
00:06:47,550 --> 00:06:52,090
Even our lord and Liao acknowledged
Ling Huang's superiority over them--
83
00:06:52,090 --> 00:06:54,180
and you...
84
00:06:54,180 --> 00:06:57,980
And all because of a mistaken identity?!
What the hell?
85
00:06:57,980 --> 00:06:59,890
Calm down, Lu Wuwei.
86
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,900
Hey, where's Wang Ben, anyway?
87
00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:06,110
He was invited, right?
88
00:07:06,110 --> 00:07:08,740
His adjutant was just here to apologize.
89
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,660
Said his battle with Fire Dragon Zi Bai
90
00:07:12,660 --> 00:07:15,660
left him in no condition
to be up and about.
91
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,200
Huh.
92
00:07:20,460 --> 00:07:21,870
Wang Ben.
93
00:07:21,870 --> 00:07:26,500
So you took down a Fire Dragon
of Wei, like Kai Meng.
94
00:07:28,630 --> 00:07:29,630
Tch.
95
00:07:31,130 --> 00:07:35,220
They've lost Zhuyong,
Ling Huang, and Zi Bai.
96
00:07:35,220 --> 00:07:37,970
Wei's got to be hurting.
97
00:07:37,970 --> 00:07:39,520
Mmm.
98
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,690
So... now what do we do?
99
00:07:42,690 --> 00:07:46,940
Use this place as a forward operating
base for more invasions?
100
00:07:46,940 --> 00:07:50,320
No, that's too impulsive.
101
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,860
The high commander gave
orders before we deployed.
102
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,540
Our next task:
103
00:07:59,540 --> 00:08:02,160
Set up a base here,
104
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,380
constructing a giant stronghold that
makes use of the natural terrain.
105
00:08:10,130 --> 00:08:11,720
What?!
106
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,220
Is--is he nuts? Why, that'll take...
107
00:08:15,220 --> 00:08:17,850
A year, I'd say.
108
00:08:17,850 --> 00:08:19,220
Gee, you think?!
109
00:08:19,220 --> 00:08:23,600
And no way is Wei going
to just sit back and let us!
110
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,860
We're to "defend the base
and build at any cost."
111
00:08:27,860 --> 00:08:31,360
"All necessary labor will be provided."
112
00:08:38,530 --> 00:08:41,540
The high commander's
serious about kicking this off.
113
00:08:41,540 --> 00:08:42,540
Yeah.
114
00:08:45,170 --> 00:08:50,250
By making front-line Zhuyong
here into a permanent base,
115
00:08:50,250 --> 00:08:54,220
he's looking to weaken
the nation of Wei but good.
116
00:08:54,220 --> 00:08:56,760
Weaken... the nation...
117
00:09:00,470 --> 00:09:02,560
The Seven Warring States.
118
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:05,310
It's been more than two centuries
119
00:09:05,310 --> 00:09:09,440
since what was once over a hundred
nations coalesced into seven.
120
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,570
The time is now coming for
that equilibrium to be upset.
121
00:09:15,780 --> 00:09:18,780
That means some nations will perish.
122
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,380
And we'll be the ones making that happen.
123
00:09:30,420 --> 00:09:31,920
Whole nations...
124
00:09:35,090 --> 00:09:36,550
Wipin' 'em out...
125
00:09:56,490 --> 00:09:58,410
Line 'em up!
126
00:09:58,410 --> 00:10:00,700
Two months after the Battle at Zhuyong,
127
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:04,830
the earthworks needed to turn it
into a stronghold continued apace.
128
00:10:04,830 --> 00:10:06,790
Here, too!
129
00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:10,630
Amazing. Those walls
get taller by the day.
130
00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:12,460
Yeah.
131
00:10:12,460 --> 00:10:17,050
From what I hear, Shanyang
next door is growin', too.
132
00:10:17,050 --> 00:10:20,430
All these settlers bein'
sent out from the center--
133
00:10:20,430 --> 00:10:23,390
the population's blown up
to nearly double.
134
00:10:25,270 --> 00:10:28,890
Some of them will wind up as
laborers and defensive troops
135
00:10:28,890 --> 00:10:31,650
stationed here in Zhuyong.
136
00:10:31,650 --> 00:10:35,440
Once this place is built up,
I hear they're gonna send folks here,
137
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,860
make it a city.
138
00:10:37,860 --> 00:10:39,780
All this moving people around--
139
00:10:39,780 --> 00:10:43,490
who wants their families living
out here, on the front lines?
140
00:10:45,740 --> 00:10:47,410
"Unyielding."
141
00:10:47,410 --> 00:10:49,210
Unyielding?
142
00:10:49,210 --> 00:10:51,630
What do you mean?
143
00:10:51,630 --> 00:10:54,290
Shanyang and Zhuyong.
144
00:10:53,540 --> 00:10:57,760
{\an8}"Wei"
"Zhuyong"
"Shanyang"
145
00:10:53,540 --> 00:10:59,930
{\an8}"Qin"
146
00:10:54,290 --> 00:11:00,880
A matchin' pair of solid military cities
drivin' a big stake into Wei's heart.
147
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,930
{\an8}"Wei"
"Zhuyong"
"Shanyang" "Han"
148
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,680
We'll do our invadin' from here--
149
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:05,220
till it's done.
150
00:11:09,690 --> 00:11:10,690
Zheng...
151
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,610
The path to our goal of
a united Middle Kingdom
152
00:11:16,610 --> 00:11:18,990
is openin' up--little by little.
153
00:11:19,950 --> 00:11:21,360
Urgent report!
154
00:11:23,030 --> 00:11:25,160
The Wei army is attacking!
155
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,040
They've engaged Qiang Lei's unit outside!
156
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,500
Guess the enemy's not going
to take all that lying down.
157
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:34,460
You got that right.
158
00:11:34,460 --> 00:11:36,710
C'mon, Qu Hai, Song Zuo!
159
00:11:38,550 --> 00:11:43,050
{\an8}"Handan, Royal Capital of Zhao"
160
00:11:46,060 --> 00:11:49,560
{\an8}"Wei"
"Han"
161
00:11:46,060 --> 00:11:49,560
{\an8}"Zhuyong" "Shanyang"
162
00:11:46,060 --> 00:11:49,560
{\an8}"Qin"
163
00:11:47,140 --> 00:11:50,520
Shanyang and Zhuyong.
164
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,190
Shall we make a move?
165
00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:55,690
What, us? The Zhao army?
166
00:11:55,690 --> 00:11:57,820
We can't afford to.
167
00:12:00,490 --> 00:12:03,780
The times are trying to
move on to the next act--
168
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,040
the downfall of the Seven Warring States.
169
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,330
Downfall?
170
00:12:12,210 --> 00:12:14,920
Gaps in strength and weakness stand out,
171
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,300
with the weaker nations falling into ruin.
172
00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:21,550
And the nation looking to upend
173
00:12:21,550 --> 00:12:24,640
the two centuries of
balance among these seven...
174
00:12:24,430 --> 00:12:26,930
{\an8}"Qin"
175
00:12:25,970 --> 00:12:27,010
...is Qin.
176
00:12:30,220 --> 00:12:34,650
Still, the keener Qin's blades become...
177
00:12:36,310 --> 00:12:40,820
...the more Chu, having only participated
in the coalition army thus far,
178
00:12:40,820 --> 00:12:44,360
will strengthen their army in earnest.
179
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,740
Their might is, frankly,
an unknown quantity.
180
00:12:47,740 --> 00:12:50,040
Exactly right.
181
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,870
An age of two greats...
182
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,040
Three counting us, duh.
183
00:12:58,420 --> 00:13:02,210
Fu Di's right. We can't be left behind.
184
00:13:02,210 --> 00:13:07,300
The people will need to make sacrifices
as we focus on enhancing our military.
185
00:13:09,010 --> 00:13:13,100
To make matters worse, the army
stagnated while you were out.
186
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:14,730
You know, away.
187
00:13:14,730 --> 00:13:18,610
I do think this balance is
on thin ice right now,
188
00:13:18,610 --> 00:13:23,280
but whoever breaks it will
need plenty of resolve.
189
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,320
Will Qin really go quite that far?
190
00:13:30,660 --> 00:13:33,830
Only one person holds the key.
191
00:13:35,290 --> 00:13:40,210
The man approaching his crowning ceremony
next year during this tense time:
192
00:13:40,210 --> 00:13:42,420
Qin's king, Ying Zheng.
193
00:13:46,510 --> 00:13:51,560
The young king who saved Zui
himself two years back...
194
00:13:53,140 --> 00:13:55,310
Way different from our king.
195
00:13:55,310 --> 00:13:56,890
Hey!
196
00:13:56,890 --> 00:14:02,730
But isn't he still embroiled in
a power struggle with Lü Buwei?
197
00:14:02,730 --> 00:14:05,820
Yes. And in that sense,
198
00:14:05,820 --> 00:14:11,990
the Middle Kingdom's fate may well
rest in the movements of Xianyang.
199
00:14:06,610 --> 00:14:12,740
{\an8}"Xianyang"
200
00:14:18,670 --> 00:14:21,590
And you think we're going to pay for that?
201
00:14:21,590 --> 00:14:25,090
Zhuyong will cost money.
Time is of the essence!
202
00:14:25,090 --> 00:14:30,590
Get out of Tunliu first!
Rumor has it you're squeezing them dry!
203
00:14:30,590 --> 00:14:33,260
Don't speak of rumors, you insolent fool!
204
00:14:33,260 --> 00:14:35,180
Enough financial talk.
205
00:14:35,180 --> 00:14:38,100
What of the stirrings in Chu and Zhao?
206
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,490
{\an8}"Queen Dowager of Qin"
207
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,950
My, but it's been a while.
208
00:14:55,950 --> 00:14:58,000
And how have you been,
209
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,960
gentlemen?
210
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:01,290
Th-The Queen Dowager!
211
00:15:01,290 --> 00:15:03,380
Queen Dowager? That's--
212
00:15:03,380 --> 00:15:05,960
His Highness's mother...
213
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:11,140
I hear she's the hidden force who
consolidated the Inner Palace faction...
214
00:15:11,140 --> 00:15:13,850
K-Keep your voice down!
215
00:15:13,850 --> 00:15:15,310
The Queen Dowager...
216
00:15:15,310 --> 00:15:19,440
She'd been holed up in the
royal villa these past two years.
217
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,480
Why visit the palace now?
218
00:15:25,190 --> 00:15:26,730
Hold!
219
00:15:26,730 --> 00:15:29,990
Even if you are the Queen Dowager,
this is the Imperial Court!
220
00:15:29,990 --> 00:15:33,070
We are discussing matters of the state!
221
00:15:33,070 --> 00:15:34,660
Please--leave us!
222
00:15:35,830 --> 00:15:38,950
Don't be so formal, Minister.
223
00:15:38,950 --> 00:15:43,920
Worry not: I shall leave as soon
as my business is finished.
224
00:15:45,250 --> 00:15:46,670
And that is?
225
00:15:52,220 --> 00:15:54,260
The Inner Palace faction
226
00:15:54,260 --> 00:15:59,100
would like to take Shanyang
and Zhuyong for ourselves.
227
00:16:08,070 --> 00:16:10,070
Take Shanyang and Zhuyong...
228
00:16:10,070 --> 00:16:12,570
...for yourselves?
229
00:16:12,570 --> 00:16:13,610
B-But...
230
00:16:13,610 --> 00:16:15,620
What on earth...
231
00:16:18,290 --> 00:16:21,410
It's really not worth all this fuss.
232
00:16:21,410 --> 00:16:26,290
Many of us are already
overseeing the Shanyang region.
233
00:16:26,290 --> 00:16:30,550
I'm simply looking to reinforce
our presence a bit.
234
00:16:32,050 --> 00:16:35,970
Reinforce? How so, exactly?
235
00:16:37,180 --> 00:16:41,230
Place the three major royal families in
the top ranks, from director on down,
236
00:16:41,230 --> 00:16:44,230
and have them spend their money.
237
00:16:51,490 --> 00:16:55,950
Construction at Zhuyong will cost money,
238
00:16:55,950 --> 00:17:00,950
It would be nice to have the three
royal families' funds to count on.
239
00:17:02,540 --> 00:17:04,460
A fine idea.
240
00:17:04,460 --> 00:17:09,500
But governance may not go as expected
if we suddenly leave the top ranks
241
00:17:09,500 --> 00:17:11,880
to royal family members.
242
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:16,890
I'd like to take this under further
thoughtful consideration.
243
00:17:16,890 --> 00:17:21,640
I have no patience for
your turtle-paced politics.
244
00:17:24,230 --> 00:17:26,980
Never mind the details.
245
00:17:26,980 --> 00:17:30,730
I shall have this man represent
us as Shanyang's director.
246
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,650
A-A eunuch?!
247
00:17:40,620 --> 00:17:41,830
Take it off.
248
00:17:41,830 --> 00:17:43,870
Madam.
249
00:17:43,870 --> 00:17:45,330
Lao Ai.
250
00:17:45,330 --> 00:17:50,590
A great and highly resourceful man,
recommended by the three royal families.
251
00:17:50,590 --> 00:17:52,380
--Who?
--Beats me.
252
00:17:52,380 --> 00:17:53,510
Lao Ai?
253
00:17:53,510 --> 00:17:54,800
Who is he?
254
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,930
Lao Ai... now, where have
I heard that name?
255
00:17:58,930 --> 00:18:01,140
Lao Ai...
256
00:18:01,140 --> 00:18:02,930
...a man named Lao Ai.
257
00:18:04,930 --> 00:18:09,400
The male prostitute that Lü Buwei
smuggled into the Inner Palace
258
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,730
to sever his own relationship
with the Queen Dowager.
259
00:18:13,730 --> 00:18:17,860
She's using Lü Buwei's
actions to her advantage.
260
00:18:34,210 --> 00:18:38,300
Do you have an opinion
about that, Chancellor Lü?
261
00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:39,840
No.
262
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,640
If he has the royal families'
endorsement, we can't go wrong.
263
00:18:44,850 --> 00:18:46,890
I thought so.
264
00:18:46,890 --> 00:18:48,730
N-Now wait a moment!
265
00:18:48,730 --> 00:18:50,940
This matter can't be decided so quickly!
266
00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:55,360
Don't try to make a big deal out
of this, Minister of the Left.
267
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:57,490
But...
268
00:18:57,490 --> 00:19:00,070
It's two against one.
269
00:19:00,070 --> 00:19:02,910
A simple majority vote
among the king's faction,
270
00:19:02,910 --> 00:19:06,830
the Chancellor's faction,
and the Inner Palace faction.
271
00:19:06,830 --> 00:19:11,500
My work here is done.
Let's head back, boys.
272
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:14,000
No--wait!
273
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,380
I trust you'll take it from here,
274
00:19:18,380 --> 00:19:20,050
Chancellor Lü.
275
00:19:23,180 --> 00:19:24,890
Certainly, Madam.
276
00:19:35,150 --> 00:19:38,240
Lao Ai... was it?
277
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,820
Yes. Do you know him?
278
00:19:40,820 --> 00:19:45,780
Well... all I know is that there's
a eunuch with that name.
279
00:19:45,780 --> 00:19:47,290
My apologies.
280
00:19:47,290 --> 00:19:49,460
What about him?
281
00:19:49,460 --> 00:19:52,040
Father!
282
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,040
Nothing.
283
00:19:56,300 --> 00:20:01,010
It felt like Lü Buwei and Li Si
were familiar with that man.
284
00:20:01,010 --> 00:20:04,050
I had the same sense.
285
00:20:04,050 --> 00:20:05,510
As did I.
286
00:20:05,510 --> 00:20:11,020
I never expected the Inner Palace
faction to come into play.
287
00:20:11,020 --> 00:20:15,730
Is the Queen Dowager really
volunteering to govern Shanyang?
288
00:20:15,730 --> 00:20:18,860
We must look carefully
into what she's planning,
289
00:20:18,860 --> 00:20:23,450
investigating this man
as well--this Lao Ai.
290
00:20:27,620 --> 00:20:33,040
It was odd for Mother to stay
silent these last two years,
291
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,630
when things like the coalition army
292
00:20:35,630 --> 00:20:39,710
kept my mind off the Inner Palace.
293
00:20:39,710 --> 00:20:44,390
Officially, a divination
directed her to withdraw,
294
00:20:44,390 --> 00:20:46,850
but she doesn't put stock in such things.
295
00:20:48,350 --> 00:20:51,520
What has she been up to?
296
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:52,770
You know...
297
00:20:54,020 --> 00:20:57,310
Her eyes never once met mine.
298
00:20:58,610 --> 00:21:02,650
But if the Queen Dowager's
seclusion has ended,
299
00:21:02,650 --> 00:21:05,360
we can finally give her our regards.
300
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:06,490
Your regards?
301
00:21:07,780 --> 00:21:09,450
Oh...
302
00:21:09,450 --> 00:21:10,870
It's just...
303
00:21:10,870 --> 00:21:16,330
...she hasn't yet seen the face
of this child of ours.
304
00:21:16,330 --> 00:21:17,840
I mean...
305
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,800
She is technically the
Queen Dowager's grandchild.
306
00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:29,600
That's true.
307
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,770
{\an8}"Yong, Ancient Capital of Qin"
308
00:21:38,940 --> 00:21:42,070
You must not fail, Vermilion Slayer.
309
00:21:42,070 --> 00:21:46,160
Return with information and I shall
multiply your reward tenfold.
310
00:21:51,580 --> 00:21:53,330
It's all right.
311
00:21:53,330 --> 00:21:55,000
Once we're in Shanyang
312
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,790
and far from Xianyang's prying
eyes, we can do as we like.
313
00:21:58,790 --> 00:22:01,710
Our influence will expand ever further,
314
00:22:01,710 --> 00:22:05,510
from Shanyang to points north.
315
00:22:05,510 --> 00:22:09,600
And since that area is terribly
impoverished thanks to drawn-out wars,
316
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,510
if we spend a lot of money,
317
00:22:11,510 --> 00:22:13,600
we can even set up an army.
318
00:22:15,060 --> 00:22:20,310
They haven't realized how powerfully
wealthy the Inner Palace really is.
319
00:22:20,310 --> 00:22:23,230
Just watch, Lao Ai:
320
00:22:23,230 --> 00:22:25,320
We'll make us a nation.
321
00:22:26,820 --> 00:22:29,700
Make... a nation?!
322
00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:31,410
Oh! Wait!
323
00:22:32,990 --> 00:22:34,830
Welcome home, Father!
324
00:22:34,830 --> 00:22:35,910
Ah, hello!
325
00:22:35,910 --> 00:22:38,210
Welcome home, Mother!
326
00:22:38,210 --> 00:22:39,500
Yes, yes!
327
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,840
It can't be... those two...
328
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,260
...have children?
329
00:22:51,550 --> 00:22:53,010
Where did he...
330
00:22:53,010 --> 00:22:54,600
...come from...?
331
00:24:45,500 --> 00:24:55,010
{\an8}"A New Nation"
332
00:24:47,210 --> 00:24:51,380
Next on Kingdom: "A New Nation."
333
00:24:51,380 --> 00:24:53,380
334
00:24:53,380 --> 00:24:55,390
{\an8}
335
00:24:55,390 --> 00:24:57,350
{\an8}
336
00:24:57,350 --> 00:24:59,350
{\an8}
