You must not die, you must go on living

Great General, I do admire you

It took me a year's planning

to get to the Princess

from the North Pole to the Palace.

Yet you managed to abduct her in a matter of minutes!

It never occurred to me to kill the King

But you did it without batting an eyelid

What imagination, Great General!

The King's favorite becomes his murderer!

You have always known how to reach for the stars

You are utterly ruthless

As long as you are alive

I can only be second best not just on the battle field,

but in the hearts of the people

It's over. There is no way out for you.

What will they think of you now.

the King's assassin?

Here's a proposal if you are willing to jump off the cliff

I shall let Qingcheng live

Not that you would ever die for another

Because you... You are even more ruthless than I am

Keep your word and I'll jump

I, Wuhuan, am not usually a man of my word

but I'll make an exception this once

General!

Remember Qingcheng, every man you ever love

you will lose...

Welcome! Welcome!

How do you like my golden birdcage?

Is this where we are going to spend the night?

Did you think I brought you here to be my consort?

You cannot seduce me

No?

I thought you would be grateful

If it weren't for me

you would never have tasted such true and exquisite love

Pity it was only for an instant

Where is your beloved now?

Because of you, "He is dead!

Put it on, my caged bird!

Traitor! Assassin!

Let's go!

Hang him up, let him die here!

Think you could hide from us in the forest?

If you hadn't been our general

We would have killed you ten times over!

Leave him here to feed the wolves

General

In order to claim victory,

you sacrificed 133 innocent slaves

This, I understand

But to kill the King for a woman?

This, I cannot fathom

Yeli, it wasn't me who killed the King

You are the only man in the world who would dare do such a thing

If this is your opinion

just deliver me to Wuhuan?

Go ahead!

You have lost everything because of your recklessness

Who says I have lost everything?

I have lost nothing!

You have lost your bet lt wasn't me who killed the King

I never said it was you

All I said was

The Master of the Crimson Armor would kill the King

I am the Master of the Crimson Armor

Not anymore

You don't have to believe me but your destiny will not be altered

You are innocent

yet you have been forced to bear the blame for the King's death

Fate works in mysterious ways

There are more losses to come

and there is nothing you can do to stop them

Soon you will lose even your cherished armor

and be left with nothing

There will be a new Master of the Crimson Armor
