Kingdom of Conquerors Page #2

---

I feel that I am really growing old.

Great Khan, you are not old.

You will never, ever get old.

You have been traveling for so long.

You are tired. That is all.

No matter how long

the road is, I cannot stop.

Hoelun...

with you by my side,

I will never be an old man.

The Great Khan's wife was the only one

who could understand him.

And she would be with him all the way

to the end of his endless journey.

The Great Khan said this was her fate.

Move! Move!

What are you doing?

Look up.

If heaven won't grant us rain,

don't blame my master for staying.

The only heaven or god I recognize

is Genghis Khan,

and his orders are law.

Take me west with you instead.

Anything the Great Khan wants to know

I too am able to provide.

The Khan wants one man,

and that's Master Qiu.

The drought will kill us

whether he goes with you or not,

mm save m; trouble

and massacre

He's right!

Kill every one of us!

Yes, kill us all!

If you dare anger the Great Khan,

that is exactly what will happen!

That's enough!

Great Khan, I come to you

with strange tidings.

In the dawn hours,

there appeared an unusual beast

and it offered some guidance.

It said we should turn back east.

Long Beard. did you see it?

I did not. Your groom Batu saw it

with his own eyes,

as well as your night guard Hadahei.

They did not dare tell you

of it directly, sir,

so they confided in me.

And do you believe it?

They claim to have seen it

with their own eyes

and I did not dare disbelieve them.

Very well,

have them tell me themselves.

Yes. You may enter.

Great Khan,

my hands have only ever

held the minister's pen.

I do not have the heart

to whip these men.

Have mercy, your majesty!

The Khan had them whisper

into his left and right ears,

describing what they saw.

What they described

of course was different.

Great Khan,

if anyone must be whipped,

then let that person be me.

I asked them to lie to you

because I felt I had no other choice.

The plague ravages us

and the soldiers miss home.

The Great Khan despises

nothing more than liars.

The Great Khan

despises nothing more than a liar.

On that day I recommended you

to the Great Khan

and he forgave both of them at once.

He ordered Yelv Chucai

to compose an edict?

And gave me his chariot

to bring you back.

You are asking for the last of my years.

Master, stay back!

I've heard the legends

of you being 300 years old.

You truly are a sage.

I have lived

on Mount Kunyu for so long?

With the wolves and the tigers

that we have reached an understanding,

and we leave each other alone now.

Nothing miraculous.

I must ask again,

when will you be ready to depart?

Let us finish drinking this first.
