01x10 - Bygone Banyue Days

[bunniefuu]

General millstone. Calm down. Is it the preceptor

that you hung over the pit?

Indeed. I hounded that traitor relentlessly, and she was

hung every time I caught her.

It's been many years. How many times

have you taken her to the sinners pit? It seems excessively cruel.

Absurd? It's a mercy compared to what she inflicted on my men.

Hunting them down after they became undead

and tossing them into this pit one by one.

Then she sealed it with a magical

formation, locking off all possible exits.

Those who fell into the pit were condemned to stay here.

I heard my brothers crying out in anguish every day.

So I had to capture traveling merchants

to toss into the dips to feed them.

There was no other way to ease their suffering.

Was the half buried face in the palace your work as well?

We must maintain the ban, you affirm

if we hope to keep those snakes at bay. We need it.

Even though the general is no longer human.

He still fears the snakes for some reason.

If that's the case, why didn't the Imperial

Preceptor use them to protect herself before she d*ed?

And why att*ck people with the snakes so far from the city?

It's as if she were trying to lead

people here so millstone could feed them to his soldiers.

But why would she help her enemy?

And that's not the only thing that's bothering me either.

General millstone. On the way here, we saw two women.

Ching's equation to an.

Australian miller. Dates.

One should..

Let go. What's on your lip? Run to lay Tung Chung.

You. Dushyant.

Morton. Chef Man-chung Yokoyama. Shin Yong the Isovalent.

Chose way too young by trunk way

costuming, boating trade. You. Ho Seung hui.

k*lling some Chiquita may. I'm guessing.

El Viejo.

Watson, Chen. Shanshan. Feng. Guo, the.

Consultando.

I'm trying to send home my man Chung Low Doe.

Bear.

Uh.

What happened down here, general? You know what happened.

You pushed them off. You created this hell. Don't play dumb.

I should hang you again right where you stand. Let you rot.

The evil Taoist. So she's the preceptor, it seems. Hold on.

Who else is here?

Good. In which all of my men have been k*lled.

Finally got what you wanted? Well.

Perhaps. Is that so wrong? We're all free now.

Was it you who put these ghosts to rest? I'm accidentally.

I'm a filthy liar.

Who are you? I am a heavenly official. And this

man is a friend of mine.

Haven't ignored us before. I thought they didn't care.

You want out.

Of course, but the magical barrier makes that difficult.

I've removed it. You're free to go.

So it was you. Then who were the women in black and white?

Hey.

I'm about to.. Leave, y'all. I'm right here.

And what else is down there? Uh.

Maybe better if you see for yourself. All right. Fine.

Nah, they were all. Scattered.

Piles of corpses. There are so many.

Sandlot.

Weren't you watching the caravan? I made them a barrier.

If they stay, they'll be fine. You were late.

Thank you. But they must think you left them to die.

If they want to walk outside of the barrier,

that's not my problem.

Who are they? That's general millstone. And the Imperial Preceptor.

Right now. They are. They'll k*ll you. You'll pay for this.

Perpetrator. No more..

Snakes, huh? Come on. Do you pity me?

Can't control them. Then why didn't any of them bite you?

Please forgive me.

Your meaningless pleas won't bring.. My men back.

Do you think me so soft hearted

that I would absolve you for the death of our nation?

For the reason we've been reduced to this.

You'll suffer damage. I'll hang you as many times as it takes.

Wait. Millstone. Calm down.

Uh, it was you.

You're alive. I guess he needed a nap.

You know each other.

General. You still remember me? Of course I do, but.

How did you end up like this?

I'm so sorry.

Made a terrible mistake.

Did she say, general? What the hell? Oh. Hold on.

Does that tombstone belong to you? Indeed it does.

What's the story? Yeah. Well. It's complicated.

But around years ago, for personal

reasons, I traveled to the South.

However, my compass broke along the way

and somehow I ended up in the desert.

Then I came upon an army that was looking for men.

You were drafted into the army? Yes.

We were fighting to expel some bandits.

And before I knew it, I had been promoted to lieutenant.

Some called me general. Out of respect.

Where do you come from? That's not your name.

It was an alias I went by called Huashi.

The w*r made many orphans like Baniya here.

One day when I was cooking in the desert.

What is that? Oh, my poor lunch.

Why would you do that? You have

to be.. Insane to eat that slop.

Be careful. It's strong.

I'm sorry. My cooking isn't for the frail. Are you alone?

Hold on. Hey. What's wrong?

Eat this.

After that, she would follow me in silence.

Uh.

Bit by bit she began to open up.

She never told me where she was from,

and though we spoke the same language, she rarely said a word.

She only had one friend, a young un boy.

I taught her to sing and dance

and fight a bit. We got along well,

but good times can't last forever.

It wasn't long until I was involved in a violent riot.

Injured in a stampede of soldiers, I was forced to play dead.

What happened next? I can't remember.

Some time after that, I found myself back in the Union

Kingdom, but was separated from Bangor.

When I heard the Preceptor's name, it didn't click.

Small world, isn't it? I'm sorry.

You wouldn't have been trampled if it wasn't for me.

But I'm fine. Really? So pathetic. Anyway. How did that happen?

I don't recall, I think I was trying

to mediate between the two sides,

but they wouldn't listen to me and Barnier.

I got stuck in the middle of the crowd,

so I tried to protect her and ended

up getting stomped on a lot.

Are you lying? You really forgot the details.

I remember good food, but no one can remember everything.

So I'd rather forget when I was nearly trampled to death.

Sorry. Chose to save you. But someone

else could use a kind word.

You opens that gate. Why? Why would you betray your people?

Were you alone? No accomplice.

Speak. Why is she like this?

You're not vengeful or deceitful. Not to me.

So you must have had a reason to do what you did.

Are you willing to explain?

If it's too painful to talk about,

then tell me this. Why did you att*ck people with snakes?

Because she's a wraith. It's obvious I didn't send them.

They disobeyed and escaped. What? It's true. I promise.

Trying to shift the blame. Your snakes bit people. End of story.

We're done. Hands!

Let's go. Come on.

No, wait. Are you really buying this crap? Just hear her out.

So you can't summon the snakes now?

I can, but they don't listen to me. Only sometimes.

Summon a few and we'll see.

This you.

A pathetic attempt. You thought that'd k*ll him, fool?

No. The snake wouldn't listen to me.

There's no way to confirm that. Can you prove it?

But I didn't even summon it.

No more games. You got me. And who is it? Send them off.

Just be sure.

Hold on. You're still taking her side. These snakes.

Enough.

Let's leave. We'll discuss it later.

It came back. The barrier is gone.

Why won't it work? What the hell?

I knew it was you.

Who've. Yao. Miao. Xiang. Xiang.

Hoang Lien

and Chongqing beer. Your great great Hong you, Miranda.

Ching ching. You're. You should go. Don't go your way. You go.

Hoo Shin Shin Shin. Routes one for.
