"Go ahead 20 years ago there was a fierce war in Mongolia" "Woman gave birth to a child on her road to the battle" "She was found by a group of fleeing soldiers" "One soldier heart went out for the woman" "He risked his life... to deliver the child" "You know who is the child" "Tiemuzhen?" "Right!" "And I am the deliver man" "Charge!" "Tiemuzhen!" "Tiemuzhen!" "Chiliedu where is Bo'ertie?" "Go look by yourself!" "You're doomed to death!" "Tiemuzhen" "Tiemuzhen." "You won't die easily You're a bastard!" "Burn him" "Bo'ertie" "The whole year of the war preparation" "The whole 3 days of fierce killing" "Beautiful and pure Bo'ertie always in heart" "Before my eyes, she shocked me greatly" "Is it true that the pregnant woman is my wife I've missed so?" "I'd rather dig out my eyes with my fingers than to face the harsh reality" "Teimuzhen Tiemuzhen" "Tiemuzhen's subdued the Mao'erqians" "He has cleared away the danger for us Zhadalanese" "Now the Qiyanese is on an equal footing with us" "Mongolia is under separatist rule" "Once the Qiyanese gets strong it's a threat to us zhadalanese" "Under these circumstances we must accept the Tartarians condition and take the chance to wipe out the Qiyanese" "You'll be the khan of the Mongolina khans" "Right It's right" "Stop it" "I know who Tiemuzhen is" "Hurry up..." "Brother Zhamuha" "I've brought you the prisoners treasures war trophies women and children" "Brother Tiemuzhen, you have..." "Subdued the Mao'erqians" "And brought peace to Mongolia" "Your enemy has also been wiped out" "Brother, are you happy about it?" "Let's celebrate" "I keep my word to my friend" "How is Bo'ertie?"

"My poor child, Tiemuzhen has made you suffer" "No, Mum Tiemuzhen is right" "Now he is the khan of the Qi'yan tribe" "I've made him lose face before the tribe" "Sufferings can make a woman gold" "You'll be a mother soon" "Congratulations!" "My child" "Why hasn't she got killed?" "I have fought for her... for a whole year" "I have lost so many tribesmen" "Many soldiers died in the battlefields" "I can't keep her here" "The reason she is still alive today is that she believes you'll keep her" "When she ran to us we were roving around" "That shows she loves you truly" "But what she is now..." "The child is a life" "Your mind should be broad like the platean can you unify the Mongol tribes" "You got it?" "I have locked up Bo'ertie" "And also my love" "My mother told me to open my mind" "But I can hardly defeat my ego" "I have to ask Heaven for help" "Please bless the mother and son!" "Khan, any order?" "You all may go" "Get lost!" "Tiemuzhen!" "Tiemuzhen!" "With the hundreds of soldiers he borrowed from you he subdued the powerful Mao'erqians..." "We shouldn't take him lightly" "No, you're wrong" "The fact is I wiped out the Mao'erqians by the hand of Tiemuzhen" "The Zhadalan tribe is the strongest in Mongolia" "You understand?" "You got it wrong, my brother" "What Tiemuzhen gave you is the prisoners and treasures" "But he preserves his confidence in battle" "The story of a rising Tiemuzhen is on everyone's lips in Mongolia" "He could subdue the powerful Mao'erqians" "Let alone you and me" "Tiemuzhen and I are sworn brothers" "You have a remember" "Only one tiger can remain in a mountain" "If you don't ally with me today Tiemuzhen will wipe out you tribe sooner or later" "Tiemuzhen wouldn't do that" "Bo'ertie, Bo'ertie!" "Bo'ertie, Bo'ertie!" "Khan, Tartar has led their troops to invade our tribe" "They have reached the River, what to do?" "Bo'ertie?" "Bo'ertie?" "Child, that is all Tiemuzhen's guilt" "Hold out!" "I'll go find him" "Mum, no need!" "I know Tiemuzhen won't accept the child" "Bo'ertie, you should go on living" "Tiemuzhen will know sooner or later" "I live just for his sake" "I'm sure the Mie'erqians will lose the war" "Now the Mie'erqians have been defeated" "The Qi'yanese have become powerful" "I have no complaint if I die now" "Poor child, your heart's more precious than gold" "Mum, I'm afraid I am dying" "Please tell Tiemuzhen that I love him" "My poor dear" "It's you?" "Yes, it's me Zhamuha" "You're helping the Tartarians?" "To wipe out our Qiyan tribe?" "Tiemuzhen" "You claim you're the khan who'll bring Mongolia peace" "You're wrong In fact you're a bloody killer" "You even killed your own brother" "Let alone me Zhamuhe" "I'll have that day sooner or later" "Well, Tiemuzhen, go ahead" "If I hadn't killed my brother I'm afraid you'd have died already" "I treat you as my own brother today" "Well, brother" "I give you another chance to shoot at me behind my back" "I forgave Zhamuhe" "But decided to punish our enemy Tartars" "This evil horse having run wild in the past hundreds of years in Mongolia went to their doom eventually" "When we drove their remnants to the arid grasslands ...Heaven changed his face" "It snowed even in golden autumn" "Confusion, I was led back... to Hannan River by my mother" "It's the hands that bring you to the world" "I will never forget..."

"Bo'ertie" "Give the child a name" "Visitor" "Hope he would become an eagle on the Mongolian Grasslands when he grows up" "Thank goodness" "I have defeated myself at last" "My mind has become as broad as the grasslands" "I went on an expedition across the desert not for my personal hatred and tribal enmity ...but for the devastated Mongolian grasslands" "Mother didn't follow me to campaign around but stayed alone at home at the Hannan River" "She didn't feel Lonely in her remaining years" "At intervals between battles my brothers and I would go back to see her" "And would always bring her many orphans" "In the year of 1206 Mongolia was unified finally" "I have been called Genghis khan since then"
