[Amitabha] Don't you see the water of the Yellow River coming from the sky?
(* "Bring in the Wine" by Li Bai) So many of you are bullying one girl. You've ruined my mood
and I can't compose any poems now. [Li Bai; Courtesy name: Taibai]
[Art name: Hermit of Green Lotus] Get lost while I still don't want to kill. [Li Bai's Adventure in Chang'an] I'm so tired. As a martial arts practitioner, how can we not get injured? Beside my bed is a pool of light... You pervert! How can you take advantage of me? Miss. I'm here to save you. So I... How dare you defame me? I'll kill you! Why did I save such a silly woman? Hey! Your temper may be pretty bad, but... you have a nice figure. Beside my bed is a pool of light,
is it hoarfrost on the ground? Let's eat at another restaurant! Look how you eat! Sir, you haven't paid yet. Pay for what? Sir. You're done with your meal, right? You haven't paid yet. Five maces in total. Hey, you're not running an honest business here. Of course we're, sir. Our restaurant would never cheat our customers. But I ate a fly here. What to do? A fly? How can that be? I don't see it. Come here! Darn it! I met some madmen
while I was drinking at the restaurant. They were bullying people,
so they are worse than dogs. Is he insulting us? Little Mustache, this is none of your business! Little Mustache? Are you blind? You're so vulgar that you give me inspiration for my poems. Rascal! Our matter is none of your business! May I know who you are...? You might be frightened if I tell you. I am Pangda! Pangci! Ming! Great! But I have not heard of you. I was drinking joyfully, but I saw some madmen skipping out on the bill. I couldn't stand and... I couldn't stand and pulled out my sword. They were shamelessly wearing their underwear. So you are Li Bai? Who are you? A good swordsmanship. Likes to wear white. What he says becomes a poem. There is only one man like this
in the Tang Dynasty. And that's Li Bai. You're flattering me. Why are you looking for me? Nothing much. I just wanted to get to know you. That's easy. You know me now. And, I am very interested in your life story. Why don't you tell me your story? Where were you born? Who taught you martial arts? I can't understand some of your poems. Please explain them to me. And what is your ambition? Since you're well-versed
in literature and martial arts, have you ever thought of serving the country? Wait a minute... You can hear my story, but... you have to treat everyone here to wine. Waiter! Is this enough? Miss, that's enough. So can you tell me your story now? Alright. My name is Li Bai. The surname, Li. And Bai from Li Bai. As for my birth story and martial arts... Farewell, Miss! You darned Li Bai! I'll eventually find you! It's you, Taibai. Looking at your clothes, are you going to Chang'an for the examination? Yes. [Meng Haoran, Courtesy name: Haoran]
Don't we all study [Art name: Meng Shanren]
to become an official? So, Taibai, as a man of the Great Tang, you should serve the country like me too. I'm used to enjoying myself. Serving the country is obviously your concern. I can't do it. Who in the Tang Dynasty doesn't know your talent? Moreover, I am going alone. If you follow me, we can take care of each other. Oh! So you want me to be your bodyguard. It's so far. I'm not going. Alright. I shall go there alone then. Too bad. There are so many beauties in Chang'an. I guess I can only enjoy them by myself. Beauties? Indeed, this is the capital of the Great Tang. Busy traffic and bustling markets. It's prosperous because of the Great Tang's stability. I believe that one day, I will own a place within Chang'an. Where are the beauties? Over the years, scholars normally stay here. I heard that many well-known officials had stayed here. This is the place. Alright! [Chang'an Inn] Sir. We are envoys from Tibet. Please don't make things difficult for us. It smells so nice. The sachet smells nice, but you smell even nicer. So, you've seen it and smelled it. It's time to return it to her. Let's meet here three days later. Stop chasing him! We better go and settle down at the inn. We just arrived at Chang'an and have yet to meet His Majesty. [Gao Lishi]
Please help us inform His Majesty regarding our intention for a reconciliation. Since the reign of Taizong, both of our countries have been on good terms. I will try my best whenever I can help. This is for you. Some local specialties of Tibet. Hope you like it. I shall take my leave now. [Three days later] You smell so nice. Where's my sachet? Farewell! What's your name? Mengdie. Your Majesty. Before I came, our emperor told me to inform Your Majesty that Tibet would like to share joys and sorrows
with the Tang Dynasty, and we will not invade your land. We are willing to become
a friend of the Tang Dynasty. It's great to hear that from Tsenpo. Tell him that I am very happy to hear that. Our emperor heard that the Tang Dynasty
is well-known for its music and dance. Especially the Song of Rainbow Skirts
and Feather Robes composed by Your Majesty. It's very famous. Today, a dancer from Tibet would like to show Your Majesty our Tibetan dance. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks. Great! I'm looking forward to it. I would like to see a different style as well. Your Majesty. Is the wine sweet? Of course. Wine poured by you is obviously sweet. That's great! What's wrong? Why didn't the sachet work? Come in! Is there anyone here to stay at Chang'an Inn? Miss, do you want to stay here? Give me a room. Welcome in! [Chang'an Inn] You! Go back and report about this! You! Follow her with me. Yes. They ask me why I reside at the green mountain. I smile and answer nothing with ease of mind. Peach flowers flow down the stream. There is no ordinary place like this. I didn't expect that I would hear someone reading
Taibai's poems in Chang'an. I didn't expect that someone would read that pervert's poems. How can you insult him? We can see Bai's righteousness only from his poems. His poems are already good, but himself is even better. He's a shameless pervert. How dare you insult him! I'm insulting him. So what? Are you hating Bai because he rejected you? You... Please calm down. I think there must be a misunderstanding. Humph! Seriously! My dear Master Meng. You're just as romantic as I've heard. Taibai, you've misunderstood. I am... Bai, I knew you would be here. You are...? I have something up. I'll take my leave! You can't run away now. Hey! No physical contact between men and women. What's wrong with this? I want to bring you to my father. I want to marry you. I only owe you some money. I don't have to compensate for that
with myself, right? I thought I misunderstood you, but who knew? You're really a pervert! We are here to arrest someone! Step aside! I don't have time for you now. Hey! What's your relationship with her? Stop fooling around. Can't you see that it's dangerous here? Who exactly is that lady? Why are you protecting her? Can you let go of me first? No way. Give me the sachet. It turned out that you would even steal a woman's sachet. I have returned the sachet to Mengdie. You know another girl called Mengdie? How dare you deny it? (These officials are here to arrest
that silly woman.) (But the masked man uses martial arts from Tibet.) (And all his moves are fatal.) (He must be here to kill me.) (These Tibetans) (must be hiding a secret.) (If this goes on,) (Haoran and that annoying woman
will be involved in this as well.) (In this case...) Go! Protect Young Lady! Why are you only here now? Protect Li Bai! If he is injured, I will not forgive you! We encountered such a case right after we arrived at the Tang Dynasty. If this fails, I'm embarrassed to meet the Emperor again. The Emperor purposely sent the best master from Tibet to help us. This time, we must not fail. Where am I? What an unlucky day. I encountered so many troubles. I didn't know that a man like you would like flowers and plants. Aren't you, a woman, interested in fighting as well? That's because I have no choice. Forget it. We are safe now. You can go now. Why are you not leaving? You don't own this place. I can obviously stay here. If you still don't leave, aren't you afraid that I might do
some indecent things to you? You... Seems like Li Bai is together with that rascal. You must help me get rid of these two nuisances! Where exactly are we? My master and I planted this a few years ago when we came to Chang'an. We hoped to live here with our loved ones after we've made some achievements. Who knew you would bring a person
who wants to kill you here? That's why I said I'm unlucky today. Hey! Why are you still not leaving? Suit yourself, then. Who is your master? My master? Pei Min. Pei Min? General Pei Min,
who is also known as the Saint of Sword? Too bad. He's always guarding the frontier. He has forgotten about me. Don't know when I can drink and practice
martial arts with my master again. Are you sure that you're not colluding with Gao Lishi? If I'm colluding with him, why would I save you? What a silly woman. What's going on between you and Gao Lishi? Li Bai! Hey! Li Bai! Seems like you're quite concerned about me. Just tell me. Hey! Li Bai. What are you doing again? If you don't tell me, I will kiss you. How dare you! Hey! Hey! Hey! I'll tell you! Alright? I'm the daughter of Liu Rui,
a general who was guarding the frontier. But my father was killed by Gao Lishi. I'm here at Chang'an to take revenge. Who knew that Gao Lishi, that old rascal would have so many skilled men around him.
It's hard to take revenge on him! I see. That is called... What? Green Lotus Sword. This is the only sword left by my family. You have a sword
even though your martial arts are so bad. You're so talented and good at martial arts. Why aren't you serving the Great Tang and hiding here? Who doesn't want to serve the Tang Dynasty? But it's not the right timing yet. The world is dangerous now.
You won't understand even if I tell you. Are you thinking of Mengdie again? It smells so nice. Look at you! You're so obsessed. It's just a sachet. I shall see how nice this vixen's sachet smells. No! Don't! Hey! Li Bai! What did you do again? I didn't. Move away. You should move away instead. Do you think I don't want to? I can't move! I can't move either! If you're not moving away, let it be then. Li Bai! I want to kill you! Do you have any clues now? Not yet. Useless! You can't even handle such a small task. Sir. The Tibetan envoy, Takdra Lukhong, is here. Let him wait in the hall first. Yes. Get it done quickly. Otherwise, don't bother to see me again. [Come by yourself
if you want us to release Meng Haoran.] Where are you going? I'm going to save Haoran. Didn't you say not to act on impulse? Calm down. Don't mess things up. But Haoran is having an examination soon. This old rascal! Taibai! Taibai. You're indeed smart. I didn't even state where am I, but you managed to find me. Official Gao. Come to me instead. Why did you have to take him? I really admire you. Such a loyal man. But since you are here, you should know what you need to do then. Do you regret it now? Good. Very good. Thanks for the treatment. Now, you can release Haoran. Release him? What if he causes me trouble after I release him? Moreover, both of you are good friends. Why don't I let him accompany you? Bring them back and lock them up in the dungeon! Young Lady! How did it go? Did you find Bai? I saw Li Bai and the woman you met at the inn at the city gate. I'm sure that they are still in Chang'an. Alright! Go! Look into it! Remember! If anything happens to Bai, I will not forgive you! Yes. It's that woman who keeps pestering Bai again. Young man. Look at you now. Are you still not telling me? Tell me. Where is that rascal? Is this all you've got? Great! You're something else, huh? I shall show you something more exciting then! It's too hot today! It's cooler after you rip my clothes. Report, the Tibetan envoy wants to see you. Continue hitting him! Yes, sir. You are the woman who kept pestering Bai last time, right? Where did you hide him? You're here. I knew that it's you. Since you came in, I could smell your smell. We shouldn't have met here. If you weren't curious, you wouldn't be involved in this. That is not important. What's important is that you're here to see me. Stop your sweet words. I'm here to take back my thing before you die. It's tiring to be an assassin, right? You should be enjoying your life at your age, but you ended up on this path. It's tiring, right? Did you find out about it? So many things had happened. And you're here. I guess I should have realized it. The sachet is still with me. I didn't want to let the old man find out, so I hid it behind my back. Take it. You smell so nice. You got your sachet. They won't make things difficult for you, right? I just hope that you won't do bad things
with it anymore. Don't tell anyone that I was here. If there is an afterlife, I hope we can talk like this again. So what if I go in? Can't you hear me? Move aside! I want to go in! Young Lady. Are you blind? Aren't you moving aside? I want to go in to meet my friend. But Eunuch Gao... What's wrong with Eunuch Gao? I'm not going to do anything. Enough! Stop getting in my way! You... Bai. Why were you so careless? How did you come in? Besides the imperial palace, is there a place that I can't get in? Seems like you're also a young lady from a noble family. No wonder. Bai. Bai... Hey! Can you please stop pestering me? I came in to avoid you. Hey! Don't wipe there! Why are you so scared? Anyway, you'll be mine one day. So don't you die before you marry me. Seems like I will owe you a favor. Then, repay it with yourself. Don't fall asleep at midnight. Look! I did nothing, right? What takes this guy so long at the toilet? Yeah. Mate. Why don't I go to the toilet first later? At least you still can speak. Ouch! It's out! What smell is that? Why are you here again? I was worried that you couldn't understand me, so I hid myself to have a look. But... as expected from my Bai! You got it right away. Forget it. Let's talk after we're out. But... What did you do? It smells... Ma'am. It's because you fed them too much laxative. Even I was shocked. Let's go then! Wait a minute. Do you know how worried I was? Why were you so silly? How do you feel? Does it hurt? No. That's great then. He's given a high status
but has never cared about his people. So he doesn't deserve to be
an official of the Great Tang. He barks in front of the Emperor,
ignoring the well-being of the people. He's just a traitor to the country. What a rascal! Li Bai! What's wrong? Are you sad because you couldn't apply the ointment for me? I don't need a playboy. I'm just feeling apologetic to you. Is this really said by you? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be badly injured. I was bored anyway. The Tibetans are just making use of Gao Lishi. I'm afraid that their target is His Majesty. What? If that is the case, they're planning to harm the Great Tang. This is why I'm staying in Chang'an. But the case is more complicated than I expected. The relationship between Tibet
and the Tang Dynasty... Your worry is my worry. I promise to deal with this matter properly to show my sincerity. This is the only chance. I will release Tendon Softening Powder at the place closest to the Emperor and his guards. The Tang Dynasty's guards
won't be able to fight back. Indeed, Gao Lishi is colluding
with the foreigners. I'll go by myself. Can you handle them? What do you think? Seems like I was right. You are planning to assassinate His Majesty. Mengdie. It's been a few days since we met. I really missed you. But I can only point my sword at you today. (Pei.) (Seems like I can't obey your instructions today.) (I must kill them!) (Though I said that,) (I'm feeling a little nervous.) (I shall write a poem) (to relax myself.) The knight from Zhao with a crown tassel holds a curved blade,
shining brightly like frost and snow. His steed was white
and matched by a silver saddle. He is as fast as a shooting star. He kills a for in ten steps and never leaves a trace in thousand li. He tidies his robe and leaves without leaving his name behind. He is the best master from Tibet. You can't defeat him. Leave! Is it right to worry about your enemy like this? Why did you come out? Are you sure? Fuqian is the best master in Tibet. His status is higher than mine. As long as he steps out, nothing is impossible. Great! I didn't expect that you could get rid of my worry in such a short time. My hero, cheers! This... Fuqian isn't good with words. Hope you don't mind. Alright. That's fine. Enjoy your drink here at my mansion tonight. So that I could show my gratitude. You're welcome. Bastard! Li Bai. Sorry, I was useless. It was my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have got hurt. Silly woman, stop talking. I know I won't live long. Although I failed to take revenge, I am happy to have met you. Although I had imagined myself lying in your arms again, I didn't expect that it would come true in this way. Silly woman. Stop saying that. I always couldn't beat you in an argument. Now, I can finally win for once. Your sword is broken. Take my Green Lotus Sword. As if I am always by your side. Can you compose a poem for me? Listen carefully. I will only read it out once in my life. I won't write it down and it won't be known by others as well. My love by Heaven's will. My incomplete love. Peach flowers are depicting my heartbreak. Like a coffin. My love remains in my heart. Love doesn't hurt. Hate doesn't hurt. But I became a coward. As if it is a dream. Deep love hurts even more.

Never come to a conclusion without evidence! Continue with your investigation! Yes. Tomorrow, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty
will send the examination attendees off. This is also our last chance. All the plans remain the same. This time, we must not make any mistakes. Long live Your Majesty. It's another imperial examination. The Tang Dynasty is blessed to have you talents who have risen above others. Tibetan envoy. How is the Great Tang's prosperity compared to your country? The Great Tang is always a prosperous country. How can I compare mine with yours? I am honored to have witnessed such a big event and get to meet the talents of the Great Tang. I suggest that we should invite Mengdie
to dance for us again to commemorate our forever friendship. Great! Protect His Majesty! Takdra Lukhong, what are you doing? We treated you pretty well. How could you... How could you attack the Emperor? I wanted to thank you. Thanks to your support, I was able to carry out my plan successfully. How dare you make use of me! Someone! Kill the Emperor! Bai.

I am loyal to you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please investigate it!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Li Bai. Not only did you save my life, but you also saved the nation. Tell me what reward you want. You can have anything. Your Majesty, I have no intention
to become an official, but I have a few words for Your Majesty. I'm all ears. The Great Tang is rich in resources and talents, but we have many wicked men too. I hope Your Majesty would only
keep the upright officials and not the evil ones. Today, Your Majesty arrested Gao Lishi, but there might also be Liu Lishi or Wang Lishi. They might commit corruption, bribery,
or even collude with foreign nations. The people can only live in peace, in a prosperous Tang Dynasty, only if Your Majesty has a clear mind and is able to tell right from wrong. Li Bai. I promise you. I will do my best to make sure that the people
of the Great Tang live in peace. I will bring back the prosperity
and the authority we had during the reign of Taizong. You're wise, Your Majesty. You're wise, Your Majesty. I shall take my leave now. Li Bai! Are you leaving again? [Up till now,] [the Tang Dynasty and Tibet
had been at war for almost 100 years.] [In the next year,
the Tibetan soldiers attacked Chang'an.] [Emperor Xuanzong of Tang escaped.
Following that,] [the An Lushan Rebellion began.] Li Bai is not only a poetic genius, but he's also unbeatable in terms of his swordsmanship. Didn't he stop the Tibetan assassin from killing His Majesty? He's amazing! Did you hear? He also tried to put the treasure that was in the hand
of the corrupted official, Gao Lishi, back to the national treasury. Li Bai is really amazing! If the Great Tang has a few more heroes like Li Bai, our nation would be peaceful and prosperous! Yes! If villains meet Li Bai, they would definitely be scared away. Li Bai? Waiter! Bill, please!
