(My name)
(is Ying Zheng.)
(It's 259 BC.)
(After the Battle of Changping,)
(Zhao broke the agreement,)
(refusing to hand over the six cities
to Qin as promised.)
(King Zhaoxiang of Qin
launched an attack on Zhao.)
(Hence it began, the battle of Handan
that lasted for three years.)

(King Xiaocheng of Zhao, Zhao Dan)
Ambassador of Qin arrives!
(Prime Minister of Zhao, Zhao Sheng
the Lord Pingyuan)
(General of Zhao, Li Jian
Ambassador of Qin)
(Capital of Zhao, Handan)
(General of Zhao, Pang Nuan)
(General of Qin, Wang He)
The tyranny of Qin is unacceptable!
Li Jian.
Yes.
Take this man of Qin away
and drop him from the city gate!
Yes.
Attack!
Ready the catapult!
Ready the catapult!
Ready the catapult!
Ready the catapult!

Brace for attack.

Load the catapult!

Release!
Stand aside!
(Qin)
Attack!
Attack!
Charge!
Archers, be ready!
(Lv Buwei's Manor)
Hurry.
Is the preparation to
leave this city done?
Only take what you can carry.
We are in a rush.
Our business in Handan
will suffer a great loss.
(Lv Buwei)
Back at Xianyang,
Madam Huayang
didn't give us full permission.
(Zheng Yi)
For the sake of Prince Yiren
you are willing
to give up all of your wealth
and face the risk of execution.
Is this really worth it?
Make way!
State your business here!
We are here for Lv Buwei.
I am Lv Buwei.
Seize him!
(Manor of Lord Pingyuan,
the Prime Minister of Zhao)
(Lord Pingyuan,
the Prime Minister of Zhao, Zhao Sheng)
Lv Buwei, we have an agreement.
You were to supply provision to Zhao.
It's been ten days overdue,
yet we've received nothing.
Do you plead guilty?
There's been a long war
between Zhao and Qin.
The merchant's routes are closed off.
So...
Silence!
You greedy and unscrupulous merchant!
We are battling the Qin army.
Yet you were sighted in Xianyang
multiple times.
What is your intention?
Perhaps
it's because you're befriending
our hostage's son, Ying Yiren.
You two are conspiring
to send the provision
and goods to Qin,
as a way to undermine our forces.
Is that your intention?
That is not true.
Lord Pingyuan.
This is how the story goes.
(Prince of Qin, Ying Yiren)
My lord, the Qin army is attacking.
We should get ready.
(Shen Yue)
We should go somewhere safe.
We shouldn't take risk.
The Qin army is attacking.
King of Zhao will use me
as a leverage against them.
Qin will not falter simply
because my life is being threatened.
I'll always follow you, ,my lord.
I'll keep you safe.
Sir.
If King of Zhao refuses to release me,
you must protect Zheng and Zhao Ji,
bringing them back to Qin.
(Ying Zheng, youth
Wife of Ying Yiren, Zhao Ji)
My lord, you must come with me.
King of Zhao is ready to kill you.
Hurry.
Where are we going?
Xianyang.
What about my wife and my son?
Leave them to Shen Yue.
They will catch up later.
Sir.
My lord.
Ask no question and go with him.
Sir.
You must take my family
and catch up.
I will, my lord.
Halt!
Where is the Gate Captain?
Who is asking?
Brother Zheng, it's you.
Yes, and My lord is with me.
He is with you?
I am Lv Buwei.
My lord.
My friend, will you let us pass?
(General of Zhao, Li Jian)
Search!
My lord, the Qin army
has been attacking.
Handan is in danger.
Without the King's order,
this gate must never be opened.
I am escaping for my life,
my life is hanging by the thread.
If you hesitate any longer,
once the soldiers are here,
I will be sure to die here.
General, we searched every inch.
There's no one.
Curse it.
Hurry! Pursue!
(Eastern Gate)
If I open the gate,
my whole family will be executed.
My lord, don't!
My lord.
My friend, let go.
Rather than being killed
by King of Zhao,
I would prefer to die
by your blade.
My lord.
If you die here
because of me,
I will forever live in guilt.
If my mother learns that
I have failed you,
she will surely disown me.
My lord!
Move slowly.
Madam, you need to hide.
Hurry, Zheng.
Move aside!
Hurry.
Hide yourself.
Stay quiet.
(Eastern Gate)
Open the gate!
(Eastern Gate)
Share these gold coins with your men.
Both of you, take care.
If the gate is closed,
how do my family get out?
Where are we going?
Tonight,
we shall take shelter
in your father's home.
Aren't we
going to meet my husband?
It happened all too sudden.
His escape is full of perils.
If you were to go with him,
you might all be dead in the end.
Whose idea is this?
Mr. Lv.
How can you even trust him?
He was clearly
using me and my son as decoy.
He just wanted to escape
with my husband.
Mr. Lv, it's almost daybreak.
How will my wife and Zheng escape?
Are Zhao Ji and Zheng able to escape?
Once you've arrived safely in Xianyang,
and with everything settled down,
I will find a way to reach them.
If King of Zhao knows
I escaped to Qin,
he will kill the both of them!
Shen Yue is there to protect them,
you need not worry.
Handan is full of the Zhao soldiers!
Shen Yue is no match for them!
Stop the carriage!
Where is the Gate Captain?
General.
Did you let anyone pass?
Lv Buwei passed through.
What?
You shall be executed! Take him down!
Are you going back to save
Zhao Ji and Zheng?
I would rather be killed
by King of Zhao
before I put my family in harm's way!
You can't abandon the fate of nation
over your own sentiments.
I have no ambition in ruling,
my priority is my family.
You are only but one step away.
As long as you arrive safely in Qin,
you will be the legitimate son
of crown prince.
I was held hostage in Zhao
for eight years!
Every day of it was full of fear.
Had my father wanted to
make me the legitimate son,
he would have brought me back to Qin.
Every year
I go back and forth between
Handan and Xianyang
in order to let you
return to Qin sooner.
What happened today was all too sudden.
I didn't see it coming.
Perhaps there is a silver lining.
My father has over 20 sons.
Everyone wants to be the legitimate son.
But your brothers
don't possess the two advantages
that you have.
You were a hostage for eight years,
that was a great contribution for Qin.
Furthermore,
Madam Huayang who is favoured
by the crown prince
has no child.
She agreed to take you in as her own.
That will make you the legitimate son
of crown prince.
You will apparently be the heir
to the throne of Qin!
Open the gate!
(Eastern Gate)
Pursue!
I am well aware of
your love for family.
You couldn't bear to leave them behind.
But if it's death you seek,
I shall accompany you.
The moment we make this choice,
it's our fate to face it together.
But if the Zhao soldiers caught you,
your whole family would be executed.
If you managed to escape,
your family
would have a chance to live.
Mr. Lv.
I salute you.
Hurry!
(Qin)
Hurry!
Hurry! Faster!
Be ready!
Sit tight.
Release the fire arrows.
Master!
My lord, run.
Run!
Zheng Yi!
A prince of Qin is here!
We need aid!
I am a prince of Qin.
(Centurion of Qi, Li Fu)
A prince of Qin?
This is my token.
I am the seventh son of Lord Anguo.
I was held hostage in Handan
for eight years.
Because of the battle,
King of Zhao of Zhao wishes me dead
so I escaped.
Defence!
Formation!
Li Jian led the troops here personally.
King of Zhao is determined
to have you killed.
Archers, be ready!
To battle!
Charge!
Formation shift!
My lord!
My lord!
Mr. Lv.
My lord!
Get ready!
Mr. Lv.
Charge!
Mr. Lv!
He is a prince of Qin!
You must protect him!
You must protect him!
Formation!
Get ready!
(General of Qin, Wang He)
We can't catch Ying Yiren.
Return to Handan at full speed!
Retreat!
General saved my life today,
I shall repay this kindness one day.
My lord, Mr. Lv, take care.
This is as far as I can see you off.
My lord, it's time to go.
Brother.
(Lao Ai)
How do I address you?
I am Lao Ai.
Being a coachman takes skill.
Thank you for the ride.
Lao Ai, faster.
We need to be in Xianyang.
Okay.
(Qin, Xianyang
Manor of Ying Xi)
(Shi Cang)
Sir.
How is my performance
with this dagger-axe?
Not bad.
I have requested to join the war.
I wish to battle Zhao's vanguard.
Once I returned with victory,
my father would make me
the legitimate son.
My lord.
You must not leave Xianyang
at this moment.
(Prince of Qin, Ying Xi)
Why not?
Killing the enemies
is the righteous way to
gain honour and glory.
We just received news.
Yiren
managed to escape from Zhao capital,
the city of Handan.
He will arrive at Xianyang tomorrow.
Yiren is coming back?
Along with him
is the merchant named Lv Buwei.
Lv Buwei and Madam Huayang
have been conspiring.
It must be Yiren's order,
he covets the title of legitimate son.
So what?
I will inform my father.
Don't be silly.
Yiren was held hostage in Zhao
for eight years!
It's a great contribution to the nation!
Even if he returned
without imperial order,
our king
might not choose
to punish him.
So...
What do you propose?
You need not be worried about it.
I will come up with a plan.
I'll leave it to you.
I wonder if my wife and son
have got to safety.
(Dong'er, youth)
Little girl, is this your mother?
Madam, it's beyond our help.
Search!
Yes!
Madam, hurry.
We need to hide.
Hurry, hide.
Did you see a man and a woman
carrying a child?
Don't waste your time.
Just search the area.
My mother suffered from pestilence.
She is dead.
Can you help me bury her?
Just our luck, let's go.
(Qin)
Charge!
My lord, watch out!
Sit tight, my lord!
Just go!
Just go!
Report!
General,
the carriage up front
were all burnt down
by enemy's fire arrows.
The number of casualty?
Thousands of people have died,
excluding the injured.
General, we suffered heavy casualty.
We might not seize the city today.
Is there really no way
to seize this fortress?
Sheath.
Stay calm, we're coming!
(Fan Wuji)
Master.
We've been waiting for you.
Thank you for the assistance.
Master, you've been shot.
Sir?
Money did save life apparently.
Treat your men to a nice drink.
Thank you, Master.
An arrow of Qin.
How do you know?
Of the whole world,
only their arrows have standardized
size and weight.
The fletching, shaft, and the arrowhead.
If one is damaged, the other parts
can still be reused.
You seem to know the Qin weaponry
very well.
Why was I shot with an arrow of Qin?
(Qin, Xianyang
Tavern of Yi De Lodge)
(Spy of Zhao, Mo Bi)
Ying Yiren.
Isn't him the political hostage
held in Zhao?
Prince Xi received a report
from somebody.
It says Ying Yiren had
returned to Xianyang.
Prince Xi's mentor Shi Cang
was afraid Prince Xi would
lose in the power struggle,
so he chose to assassinate Yiren.
But the attempt failed.
Keep an eye on them.
If the two sons of
Lord Anguo, the crown prince
started fighting each other,
Xianyang will fall into chaos.
This could likely be
an opening for Zhao.
This could be the solution
for the siege on Handan.
Yes.
Look! The city of Xianyang is up ahead!
Halt!
Xianyang.
I am back.
Father, Mother,
I am coming home.
My lord, you are finally
back in Xianyang.
Your perilous journey was
worth the while.
Refrain from being too sentimental.
Diligence is all you need.
Not just Xianyang,
the whole Qin State and even the world,
they shall all be yours to take.
(Xianyang, Capital of Qin)
(Xianyang)
(Xianyang Prison)
All right, halt.
We are here for Zheng Huo.
Wait here.
Sir, what is this place?
Prison of Xianyang.
Brother, how was it?
Are you satisfied?
You've always been the smart one.
(Zheng Huo)
Well,
I shall wait at the entrance.
Brother.
Why are we here?
As of now, we can't be sure
who's trying to kill us yet.
There are lots of eyes and ears
in Xianyang.
You have to make do
with staying here temporarily
for a few days.

Prince Xi's mentor Shi Cang
was afraid Prince Xi would
lose in the power struggle,
so he chose to assassinate Yiren.
But the attempt failed.
Keep an eye on them.
If the two sons of
Lord Anguo, the crown prince
started fighting each other,
Xianyang will fall into chaos.
This could likely be
an opening for Zhao.
This could be the solution
for the siege on Handan.
Yes.
Look! The city of Xianyang is up ahead!
Halt!
Xianyang.
I am back.
Father, Mother,
I am coming home.
My lord, you are finally
back in Xianyang.
Your perilous journey was
worth the while.
Refrain from being too sentimental.
Diligence is all you need.
Not just Xianyang,
the whole Qin State and even the world,
they shall all be yours to take.
(Xianyang, Capital of Qin)
(Xianyang)
(Xianyang Prison)
All right, halt.
We are here for Zheng Huo.
Wait here.
Sir, what is this place?
Prison of Xianyang.
Brother, how was it?
Are you satisfied?
You've always been the smart one.
(Zheng Huo)
Well,
I shall wait at the entrance.
Brother.
Why are we here?
As of now, we can't be sure
who's trying to kill us yet.
There are lots of eyes and ears
in Xianyang.
You have to make do
with staying here temporarily
for a few days.
