Say you are right and I lose the bet? What will you want from me?

A bitter tear shed because of your broken heart

Hadn't you better ask for something I possess?

One day your heart will be shattered and bitter tears will be shed

Remember

When you find love... you will also find death

And if I rescue the King and win the bet?

You won't

The Battle of Horseshoe Valley was your last success

By the way

the road to the Imperial City lies to the east

My master, the Duke of the North, has commanded me to kill you.

He also requests your armor.

Take it off!

Master!

Master!

I have found the way out!

What happened to you?

Who are you?

Give me the helmet

Don't give it to him!

You move fast

Did you once live in the Land of Snow?

I will not kill you

What lightning speed he had!

You saved my life

and served me well

Kunlun, I want you to go to the Imperial city

and rescue the King

Wear my armor

As long as you keep silent

nobody will dare block your way

How will I recognize the King?

He will be the only one without a weapon

Your Majesty! May I ask where Princess Qingcheng is?

Wuhuan, I thought you wanted my throne

But you only wanted my woman

Need you have gone to such lengths?

Gathering an entire army? Surrounding the Imperial City?

All you had to do was ask!

Wuhuan, you underestimate me

Did you think I would choose a woman over my throne?

It is no wonder that compared to General Guangming

you are always second rate in the eyes of the people

Don't you have anything new to say?

Did I forget to tell you?

The General is on his way and will be arriving any minute

Someone told you Guangming is coming?

If he were about to arrive

would I still be sitting here exchanging pleasantries with you?

I sacrificed my cherished desire

to kill your favorite general myself

and sent the swiftest assassin in the world

Were you hoping to be rescued?

The people's hero is a dead man as we speak!

Let me through!

Would anyone like to know what I am wearing underneath this garment?

If so, put down your weapons

It's working! Strip!

Keep stripping!

Would you like to know

what is underneath this layer?

If so, pick up your weapons again and aim them at that heartless man!

What are you all doing?

You betray me?

My rescuer comes!

My great General Guangming is here!

You have shamed me, I shall kill you!

I shall kill you!

You?

He has killed the King!

Keep Going!

General Guangming

Don't think that because you saved my life

I shall be obliged to stay with you

From the moment the King turned against me

My mind was made up

I shall never again let a man possess me

I have had enough

If you take one more step I shall jump

You must not die, you must go on living
