27. You have removed a great peril for me.Copy !req

39. I am a Prefect from Leng Meng County.Copy !req
40. A County Prefect over 10 square miles!Copy !req
41. Surely the lowest-ranking official in QinCopy !req
42. how did you defeat such opponents?Copy !req
43. I took them on one by one.Copy !req
44. Tell me the details.Copy !req
45. Does Your Majesty knowCopy !req
46. Flying Snow and Broken Sword were lovers?Copy !req
47. Yes, I do.Copy !req
48. And that they hadn't spoken
for three years?Copy !req
49. For three years? Why?Copy !req

53. I went to great lengths to uncover it.Copy !req
54. To divide Flying Snow and Broken SwordCopy !req
55. I first needed to eliminate Sky.Copy !req
56. I have an idea of what you planned.Copy !req
57. Your Majesty is wise.Copy !req
58. What did you use to defeat Sky?Copy !req
59. The sword.Copy !req
60. I must arrest criminals in my county.Copy !req
61. On the fifth day of the sixth month.Copy !req
62. Sky attended a chess house.Copy !req
63. I had learnt he enjoyed playing chessCopy !req
64. and listening to music there.Copy !req
65. So, the seven masters of Qin Palace.Copy !req
66. We are here to arrest you!Copy !req
67. Identify yourself by showing your spear.Copy !req
68. Halt!Copy !req
69. What can a minor official do?Copy !req
70. This is my territory.Copy !req
71. So?Copy !req
72. You are on the King's most wanted list.Copy !req
73. I am placing you under arrest.Copy !req
74. Old man, please play one more tune.Copy !req
75. Martial arts and music are differentCopy !req
76. but they share the same principle.Copy !req
77. Both stress attaining a supreme stateCopy !req
78. Sky and I faced each other
for a long time.Copy !req
79. Neither of us moved.Copy !req
80. We fought the battle in our minds.Copy !req
81. How swift thy sword!Copy !req
82. I thought I knew everything
about my Kingdom.Copy !req
83. I didn't know that Leng Meng CountyCopy !req
84. held a talent like yours.Copy !req
85. Broken SwordCopy !req
86. Flying SnowCopy !req
87. By order of his Majesty!Copy !req
88. Flying Snow and Broken SwordCopy !req
89. have teamed up for assassinationCopy !req
90. he who kills either of themCopy !req
91. will receive gold and landCopy !req
92. and be allowed to drinkCopy !req
93. within 10 paces of his Majesty.Copy !req
94. Three years ago, Flying SnowCopy !req
95. stormed the palace with Broken Sword.Copy !req
96. 3000 elite troops couldn't stop them.Copy !req
97. I've since emptied the palaceCopy !req
98. so assassins cannot hide.Copy !req
99. Was your sword swifter
than theirs combined?Copy !req
100. No.Copy !req
101. How did you do it, then?Copy !req
102. Disguised as a citizen of Zhao.Copy !req
103. I sought them in the Kingdom of Zhao.Copy !req
104. I learned they were hiding.Copy !req
105. In a calligraphy schoolCopy !req
106. Under the names Highcliff and Springbrook.Copy !req
107. Rumor had itCopy !req
108. the Qin army would attack that day.Copy !req
109. Most of the townspeople had fledCopy !req
110. Only the school's students remainedCopy !req
111. Why have you come at such a time?Copy !req
112. Who are you?Copy !req
113. I'm from Yi County
in the Kingdom of ZhaoCopy !req
114. My father's dying wishCopy !req
115. was for one of your scrollsCopy !req
116. I fear this may be our school's last dayCopy !req
117. Which calligrapher do you seek?Copy !req
118. I respectfully request Master highcliffCopy !req
119. highcliff was Broken SwordCopy !req
120. Legend said his skill as a swordsmanCopy !req
121. was rooted in his calligraphyCopy !req
122. So I had my concernsCopy !req
123. I needed to find out if it was trueCopy !req
124. What do you want written?Copy !req
125. "Sword."Copy !req
126. You are fond of the sword?Copy !req
127. It was my father's dying wishCopy !req
128. What size scroll?Copy !req
129. Eight feetCopy !req
130. For that size I will need red inkCopy !req
131. My master has asked meCopy !req
132. to borrow some red inkCopy !req
133. My master wants to borrow some red inkCopy !req
134. Did you hear me, Master Springbrook?Copy !req
135. Master highcliff wants to borrow red inkCopy !req
136. Tell him to come himselfCopy !req
137. Could I have some red ink?Copy !req
138. The character "sword"
was still being writtenCopy !req
139. when Your Majesty's troopsCopy !req
140. arrived at the city gatesCopy !req
141. Draw!Copy !req
142. Your Majesty's army is invincibleCopy !req
143. not only because it is braveCopy !req
144. but also because of its archeryCopy !req
145. with a greater range than any other armyCopy !req
146. The Qin archers are like artilleryCopy !req
147. intimidating the enemyCopy !req
148. Hail! hail! hail!Copy !req
149. Please rememberCopy !req
150. their arrows might destroy our townCopy !req
151. and topple our KingdomCopy !req
152. but they can never
obliterate our cultureCopy !req
153. TodayCopy !req
154. you will learn the essence of our cultureCopy !req
155. Hail! hail! hail!Copy !req
156. Those Zhao people didn't flee?Copy !req
157. They drew strength from their calligraphyCopy !req
158. What was so difficult about "sword"?Copy !req
159. There are 19 different ways to write itCopy !req
160. I asked Broken SwordCopy !req
161. for a 20th wayCopy !req
162. Both calligraphy and swordplayCopy !req
163. rely on one's strength and spiritCopy !req
164. The 20th style would revealCopy !req
165. the essence of his swordsmanshipCopy !req
166. How odd to write it in 19 waysCopy !req
167. It makes the written languageCopy !req
168. impossible to comprehendCopy !req
169. Once I've conquered the six KingdomsCopy !req
170. and all the northern tribesCopy !req
171. I will eradicate this problemCopy !req
172. by mandating one style of writingCopy !req
173. Wouldn't that be ideal?Copy !req
174. Your Majesty won't stop
at the six Kingdoms?Copy !req
175. The six Kingdoms are nothing!Copy !req
176. I will lead my army to conquer vast landsCopy !req
177. and establish a great empireCopy !req
178. Hail! hail! hail!Copy !req
179. Master SpringbrookCopy !req
180. Why are you going outside?Copy !req
181. To fend off the arrowsCopy !req
182. You aren't needed. Stay insideCopy !req
183. The Qin archers are powerfulCopy !req
184. You alone may not stop themCopy !req
185. Hail! hail! hail!Copy !req
186. You are goodCopy !req
187. You are even betterCopy !req
188. You didn't come here for calligraphyCopy !req
189. Who are you?Copy !req
190. I've travelled here to deliver an itemCopy !req
191. Please meet me in the library at midnightCopy !req
192. Great calligraphyCopy !req
193. Great swordplayCopy !req
194. You didn't even see my swordplayCopy !req
195. I couldn't have written without itCopy !req
196. At midnightCopy !req
197. meet me in the library.Copy !req
198. Several hundred thousand Qin troopsCopy !req
199. were readying for the next onslaughtCopy !req
200. I studied the character all nightCopy !req
201. trying to unlock the secret of his skillsCopy !req
202. It would reveal his swordsmanship?Copy !req
203. But it's just an ordinary wordCopy !req
204. Calligraphy and swordplay are similarCopy !req
205. One must comprehend their true essenceCopy !req
206. Did you discover it?Copy !req
207. It eluded meCopy !req
208. So how did you challenge them?Copy !req
209. Although they hadn't spoken in three
years They spied on each otherCopy !req
210. At midnightCopy !req
211. Broken Sword would peek into
Flying Snow's roomCopy !req
212. At 2 o'clock in the morningCopy !req
213. she would spy on Broken SwordCopy !req
214. What strange behaviourCopy !req
215. I was surprised tooCopy !req
216. So I used Sky's silver
spear to get to themCopy !req
217. Sky died by your sword?Copy !req
218. YesCopy !req
219. Who are you? Why are you here?Copy !req
220. I'm from the Kingdom of QinCopy !req
221. I have a message from SkyCopy !req
222. Go onCopy !req
223. he said he had lived a lifeCopy !req
224. without responsibilities or commitmentsCopy !req
225. he cared for only one personCopy !req
226. Who?Copy !req
227. Flying SnowCopy !req
228. Sky was certain she'd avenge his deathCopy !req
229. To fight, meet me at the Qin campCopy !req
230. You can leave nowCopy !req
231. Go!Copy !req
232. I know you saw us!Copy !req
233. Let me tell youCopy !req
234. we've been together for three yearsCopy !req
235. I let you see us on purpose!Copy !req
236. I no longer care about you at all!Copy !req
237. We were both very foolishCopy !req
238. I just wanted you to care about meCopy !req
239. I'm not going to fight youCopy !req
240. Go away!Copy !req
241. I will kill you in honor of my master!Copy !req
242. You ask to die. I will help you.Copy !req
243. Why do you laugh?Copy !req
244. What you did last night was stupidCopy !req
245. My plan proved successfulCopy !req
246. When Flying Snow was fighting meCopy !req
247. she was disturbed and disorientedCopy !req
248. I defeated her easilyCopy !req
249. I never imagined supreme warriorsCopy !req
250. like Broken Sword and Flying SnowCopy !req
251. allowing their emotions
to be a liabilityCopy !req
252. It sounds as if you did divide themCopy !req
253. YesCopy !req
254. In that case, they must have beenCopy !req
255. petty and narrow-mindedCopy !req
256. TrueCopy !req
257. Your story sounds logicalCopy !req
258. ButCopy !req
259. you have underestimated one person.Copy !req
260. Who?Copy !req
261. MeCopy !req
262. Would you like my impression of them?Copy !req
263. Three years ago they stormed the palaceCopy !req
264. I was impressedCopy !req
265. by their valor and dignityCopy !req
266. Their character could not be pettyCopy !req
267. So Flying Snow's affair with Sky is a lieCopy !req
268. Their betrayal of one another is a lieCopy !req
269. The story you just told is a lie!Copy !req
270. Except for one thingCopy !req
271. Sky did know one of youCopy !req
272. Who?Copy !req
273. YouCopy !req
274. I surmise you two were old friendsCopy !req
275. And Sky's defeat has only one explanationCopy !req
276. What's that?Copy !req
277. He permitted itCopy !req
278. To kill me, the two of you formed a pactCopy !req
279. using my men as witnessesCopy !req
280. That was not hard to arrangeCopy !req
281. The hardest part was to persuade SkyCopy !req
282. to put his life in your handsCopy !req
283. You were not fast enough to defeat SkyCopy !req
284. he died willingly under your swordCopy !req
285. Such devotion deserves true respectCopy !req
286. He was the first to sacrifice himselfCopy !req
287. for your mission.Copy !req
288. Sky was proudCopy !req
289. he saw himself as an unrivalled fighterCopy !req
290. What convinced him you could succeedCopy !req
291. where he had failed?Copy !req
292. You have trained, perhaps for 10 yearsCopy !req
293. with one goal, my assassinationCopy !req
294. You have a great skill
that few can counterCopy !req
295. Killing Sky got you within 20 paces of meCopy !req
296. So why seek out
Broken Sword and Flying Snow?Copy !req
297. I surmise that your skillCopy !req
298. requires you to come within 10 pacesCopy !req
299. You needed a second sacrificeCopy !req
300. to claim another rewardCopy !req
301. to bring you within 10 pacesCopy !req
302. Although Broken Sword and Flying SnowCopy !req
303. had never met SkyCopy !req
304. they instantly understoodCopy !req
305. the reason for his defeat.Copy !req
306. How far am I from the bookshelves?Copy !req
307. About 10 pacesCopy !req
308. 10 paces is fineCopy !req
309. I need one of you to help meCopy !req
310. Please decide between yourselvesCopy !req
311. Meet me at the Qin camp tomorrow morningCopy !req
312. How swift thy sword!Copy !req
313. TrueCopy !req
314. Sky was a superior warriorCopy !req
315. he willingly gave his life to this manCopy !req
316. he can kill the KingCopy !req
317. We must proceedCopy !req
318. That means we will dieCopy !req
319. Then we die togetherCopy !req
320. You were one step ahead of meCopy !req
321. Did I hurt you too much?Copy !req
322. I should be the one who fights himCopy !req
323. I want you to liveCopy !req
324. If you died, how could I live?Copy !req
325. You will live on, promise meCopy !req
326. Say it!Copy !req
327. All rightCopy !req
328. Moon is on her wayCopy !req
329. I had better goCopy !req
330. I am Nameless,
Prefect of Leng Meng CountyCopy !req
331. Please allow me to fight this assassinCopy !req
332. She is on his Majesty's most wanted listCopy !req
333. Now she's here, I will arrest herCopy !req
334. The assassin and I have an agreementCopy !req
335. to fight one on oneCopy !req
336. Should I be unable to defeat herCopy !req
337. please apprehend herCopy !req
338. Your permission is soughtCopy !req
339. Draw your sword!Copy !req
340. Hail! hail! hail!Copy !req
341. Make your move!Copy !req
342. Hail! hail! hail!Copy !req
343. I die willinglyCopy !req
344. Make your moveCopy !req
345. Hail! hail! hail!Copy !req
346. Hail! hail! hail!Copy !req
347. Hail! hail! hail!Copy !req
348. Hail! hail! hail!Copy !req
349. How swift thy sword!Copy !req
350. What are you here for?Copy !req
351. For what you once said.Copy !req
352. "l will fight the one
who harms Flying Snow"Copy !req
353. Please draw your swordCopy !req
354. Thank youCopy !req
355. I believe you and
Broken Sword also foughtCopy !req
356. but rather it wasCopy !req
357. A fight to honor Flying Snow.Copy !req
358. My master wishes you to have his swordCopy !req
359. Why?Copy !req
360. he and she are bound in life and deathCopy !req
361. They will never part,
nor will their swordsCopy !req
362. It is his dying wishCopy !req
363. that you take his sword for your missionCopy !req
364. Sky, Flying Snow and Broken SwordCopy !req
365. sacrificed themselvesCopy !req
366. so you can be within 10 paces of meCopy !req
367. All three gave you their livesCopy !req
368. The best of friends could not give moreCopy !req
369. Therefore you areCopy !req
370. the most dangerous assassin of allCopy !req
371. How did you uncover my plan?Copy !req
372. The flames of these candlesCopy !req
373. are disturbed by your murderous intentCopy !req
374. All of youCopy !req
375. are willing to die for a causeCopy !req
376. I'm ashamed to say
I am not that committedCopy !req
377. Your Majesty has seen through our planCopy !req
378. If I had realised this soonerCopy !req
379. I wouldn't have allowed you so closeCopy !req
380. A citizen of Qin would not do thisCopy !req
381. Who are you?Copy !req
382. A man of ZhaoCopy !req
383. Your Qin soldiers killed my familyCopy !req
384. I wandered into QinCopy !req
385. and was adoptedCopy !req
386. I discovered my real identity
10 years agoCopy !req
387. and set my heart on this planCopy !req
388. You've come to avenge ZhaoCopy !req
389. I seeCopy !req
390. I would like to knowCopy !req
391. if your special skill has a nameCopy !req
392. As Your Majesty guessedCopy !req
393. there is only one crucial moveCopy !req
394. What is that?Copy !req
395. "Death within 10 Paces."Copy !req
396. "Death within 10 Paces." A good name!Copy !req
397. All my guards are 100 paces awayCopy !req
398. outside the palaceCopy !req
399. You are within 10 pacesCopy !req
400. It would seemCopy !req
401. that today I am doomedCopy !req
402. But I sense your hesitationCopy !req
403. Your Majesty is perceptiveCopy !req
404. HoweverCopy !req
405. You too have underestimated someone.Copy !req
406. Who?Copy !req
407. Broken SwordCopy !req
408. I needed to prove to themCopy !req
409. that my sword was fast and accurateCopy !req
410. Within 10 pacesCopy !req
411. my sword strikes with surgical precisionCopy !req
412. If it enters at precise pressure pointsCopy !req
413. it will not cause any fatal injuryCopy !req
414. If one of you would take a blowCopy !req
415. before witnesses, we can fool the KingCopy !req
416. Such a blow is hardly child's playCopy !req
417. How is Sky now?Copy !req
418. Fully recoveredCopy !req
419. his trust in your sword
was extraordinaryCopy !req
420. The King's security is impenetrableCopy !req
421. There was no other wayCopy !req
422. his lmperial Guards were uselessCopy !req
423. he should have died three years ago.Copy !req
424. What went wrong?Copy !req
425. I abandoned the planCopy !req
426. The King must not be killedCopy !req
427. he said that?Copy !req
428. YesCopy !req
429. Why?Copy !req
430. I also asked himCopy !req
431. What did he say?Copy !req
432. he would not explain that dayCopy !req
433. Broken Sword is the strongest
of the threeCopy !req
434. he and I are probably equal in skillsCopy !req
435. What he told me laterCopy !req
436. greatly unsettled meCopy !req
437. While I'm aliveCopy !req
438. I'll stop you assassinating the KingCopy !req
439. I will help youCopy !req
440. he let the opportunity go byCopy !req
441. This time, we must succeedCopy !req
442. See you tomorrow at the Qin campCopy !req
443. Please do me a favorCopy !req
444. Help me fight Broken Sword!Copy !req
445. Master!Copy !req
446. What are you waiting for?Copy !req
447. Although I had agreed to help herCopy !req
448. attack from behind is dishonorableCopy !req
449. so I couldn't draw my swordCopy !req
450. But we both knewCopy !req
451. if we did not stop Broken SwordCopy !req
452. we would never succeed.Copy !req
453. Moon, don't!Copy !req
454. You're no match for him. StopCopy !req
455. I knew this would happenCopy !req
456. You can't stop me nowCopy !req
457. Even wounded, I will still stop youCopy !req
458. Then I will kill you!Copy !req
459. Did I hurt him too much?Copy !req
460. Your special medicineCopy !req
461. should heal his wounds in a dayCopy !req
462. have you delivered it?Copy !req
463. I tended to the wound myselfCopy !req
464. After the battle, take my swordCopy !req
465. and follow Nameless to see the KingCopy !req
466. YesCopy !req
467. They won't treat a servant harshlyCopy !req
468. If the assassination succeedsCopy !req
469. wave a red flag on your returnCopy !req
470. If it fails, a yellow oneCopy !req
471. If something happens to youCopy !req
472. any message will be uselessCopy !req
473. I will smile from heavenCopy !req
474. if I see a red flag.Copy !req
475. How is Flying Snow?Copy !req
476. She is restingCopy !req
477. She doesn't know I've comeCopy !req
478. You said you'd stop meCopy !req
479. Please abandon the missionCopy !req
480. You know I am a man of ZhaoCopy !req
481. So am lCopy !req
482. Doesn't Qin want to conquer Zhao?Copy !req
483. YesCopy !req
484. Isn't the King the enemy of Zhao?Copy !req
485. YesCopy !req
486. Who are you trying to defend?Copy !req
487. You call yourself a man of Zhao?Copy !req
488. Flying Snow has asked me that tooCopy !req
489. When we first metCopy !req
490. I was living a carefree lifeCopy !req
491. I fell in love with her after our first fightCopy !req
492. She's the daughter of a Zhao generalCopy !req
493. who died in battle against QinCopy !req
494. She inherited his swordCopy !req
495. I knew she would avenge her fatherCopy !req
496. I promised to help herCopy !req
497. Calligraphy and swordplayCopy !req
498. share the same principlesCopy !req
499. We did calligraphy to
inspire our swordplayCopy !req
500. and to heighten our powersCopy !req
501. She knew I'd drifted since childhoodCopy !req
502. calling no place homeCopy !req
503. Once we'd killed the King, she saidCopy !req
504. she would take me to her homeCopy !req
505. There'd be no more swordsmenCopy !req
