Careful!

It hurts.

Hold on!

Give me a hand.

My Lord,

It's truly a bloody war.

Hold on!

General Hua Jr.

Swordsman Qin.

We were raided by South Desolation this morning,

so please forgive me for

not being able to greet you in person.

It doesn't matter, Vice-City Keeper.

Just rest and heal your wounds.

From now on,

we are here to take over all.

Thank you, please help.

Where's my father?

Don't worry.

The General is in barracks

and he is safe.

Rong, Cheng,

you could come to help me.

I

feel so gratified.

Dad,

don't worry too much.

We'll figure it out together.

Here's what's going on.

Duanmu Qingcang

killed our emissary

and refused our peace talks.

And also,

South Desolation recently raided us several times.

Lieutenant Yan led the advance troops to resist
their attack.

Our side suffered heavy casualties

and the morale is very low.

If this decline is not reversed,

Tianlu City

will be in danger.

Cheng,

the situation has been explained
in the letter from Rong.

The commander of the enemy

is your biological father.

Have you figured out how to deal with it?

No father and son on the battlefield.

When the enemy is strong,

I can talk on equal terms with them

only after winning two battles.

We are outnumbered

in this force,

so we need to avoid head-to-head combat.

I guess

the enemy will be ready to pursue us

with high morale.

They are likely building a bridge
to cross the river at this moment.

So we need to deploy more forces

on the riverbank

to slow their river crossing.

Exactly.

But beefing up our defenses can only buy some time,

not a long-term solution.

Based on the sandbox,

their troop has to be in a long line.

Although they are massive,

but difficult to be dispatched.

There is no way to

form a ring of encirclement in a short time.

Dad,

I think

we can do more raids

to repel them.

So we can defeat them by some surprise actions.

Several generals of South Desolation
were lost in recent days.

Rong's tactic

has achieved initial success.

But this tactic should not be used anymore.

They will reinforce their defense at the passes.

The key of this tactic

lies in keeping moving to attack them.

Did you forget

I'm the King Pirate?

This is the narrowest part of Heng River.

You're not gonna swim out

and attack the camp at night, are you?

Go!

Nice.

Very nice.

Recently,

there have been much good news.

The outer forces of South Desolation's troop

have been breached.

Anxious to defend,

they have redeployed their defense grid.

Their pace of frontal attacks

also slowed down.

Without Rong' command at the base camp,

I just a knife without a blade.

Of course.

Report!

General Hua,

here's your letter.

Ok, you can leave.

Yes, my lord.

Rong, Cheng,

there's something I almost forgot to tell you.

Last time I escorted Sixth Princess to Jingcheng,

I met with the Emperor.

The Emperor has entrusted me

with the task of contacting with the Night-Wolf.

Dad,

who's the Night-Wolf?

I don't know, either.

He only offers information,

and doesn't associate with any people.

I think

it's the best way

to protect his identity.

That makes sense.

The information from the Night-Wolf

is critical.

Duanmu Qingcang cannot hold back anymore,

they decided to launch an attack.

Tonight Duanmu Qingcang

will personally lead hundreds of elite troops

to Guan Mountain

behind Tianchu's barracks.

Using the wind to launch a fire attack.

To coordinate the army's

assault across the river.

They wanna attack us front and rear.

This is a good opportunity.

Dear father-in-law,

you lead the army in the front line.

I'll take an elite force

to ambush in the rear.

As long as the Duanmu Qingcang captured alive,

we will win.

My Lord,

Duanmu Qingcang has so many soldiers.

Is it dangerous for us

to fight more with less?

Zhang,

don't be freaking out!

Well, at least he's our relative,

we're gonna be all right.

Aren't we, my lord?

If all goes well with this action,

Cheng will surely

defeat Duanmu Qingcang!

Report!

General Hua,

something happened!

According to General Hua Jr.'s order,

I secretly arranged scouts

to monitor South Desolation's barracks,

but a scout in the southeast was killed.

He sent back a message before death that

there was an army of thousands of men

has left South Desolation's barracks secretly.

Dad,

it seems that the fire attack is a feint,

actually it's a trap!

Qin Shangcheng is in danger.

I'll gather my cavalry at once and go to save him!

Wait a minute!

Rong,

Duanmu Qingcang is wily.

Maybe he figured it out already.

If you move your army out of barracks now,

that's exactly what the enemy wants!

Once barracks are breached,

the consequences are unimaginable!

Dad,

then what about Qin Shangcheng?

Rong,

Cheng is Duanmu Qingcang's biological son.

I think

he would never hurt Cheng.

Giddyap!

Giddyap!

Whoa!

Why are you two the only ones back?

Where's Qin Shangcheng?

Your highness,

we were tricked.

Qing Shangcheng,

today's battle

is to test

your qualification to be my son.

In this case,

you are not qualified enough.

Release my soldiers.

Release my brothers.

I'll go with you.

My lord was captured alive by Duanmu Qingcang

for saving us.

Your highness,

I'm gonna assembly our army

Go get the lord.

Wait!

You go back now and you die.

Qin Shangcheng should be all right.

Rong,

this is inevitable.

Father and son

have to face each other.

Report!

General Hua,

someone shot a letter to the barracks.

Rong.

Duanmu Bai.

Hua Rong.

You have the nerve to meet us!

Have you forgotten

what you promised my lord?

Qian Dayou,

I did fail to keep my promise,

but I tried my best.

Hua Rong,

I come to you

to tell you a message.

Qin

has been taken overnight back to Mu's Palace,

and under house arrest in the Tianchi Pavilion.

How do we know

this isn't your trap?

Grandma

may be the only hope to save Qin.

I have written the birth story of me and Qin

in the letter.

And this

will give you free access

to the Mu's Palace.

Thank You.

Say sorry for me

when you see Qin.

Is what Bai says

in his letter true?

Empress Dowager,

Qin Shangcheng is indeed your grandson.

And,

I'm pregnant with your great-grandchild.

Your Highness,

are you really pregnant?

Lord must be happy to know it!

Yes!

Stand up.

I'm okay.

Empress Dowager,

don't take the girl's word for it.

It's hard to tell the letter from the truth,

so it's better to leave the matter to My Majesty.

Empress Dowager,

Qin Shangcheng is held in the Tianchi Pavilion now.

If you don't trust me,

you can check him out any time.

I and my baby are also

on your hands now.

Great.

I'd love to see

what else you can pull off.

I won't, Empress Dowager.

Qin Shangcheng!

My Lord!

Qin Shangcheng!

- My Lord!
- Qin Shangcheng!

Lord!

What's with the rash?

Qin Shangcheng!

White fernwort!

Duanmu's whole family

from ancestor are allergic to white fernwort.

Bai doesn't.

Why...

Qin Shangcheng.

Who did this?

Such things

are not allowed in Mu's Palace!

Who did this?

Mother,

it's me.

Why didn't you tell me

about it?

And you even use white fernwort

to poison my grandson!

Mother,

I had to do this

to know

if he is my son

and your grandson?

As an emperor.

I can't only follow one's words

to adopt a son.

Now,

it has been confirmed that

Qin Shangcheng

is truly my son.

Now I dare to tell you.

So what are you

gonna do next?

Are you just gonna

keep them locked up forever?

Mom,

Qin Shangcheng was born in Tianchu,

and married the daughter of a general of Tianchu.

He was my enemy on the battlefield.

It was the worst offense!

I locked him up

so he could understand who is his father

and what to do

and which side should he be on!

What I'm doing now

is trying to

make him worthy of

being my son.

Tianchu had nurtured him,

and it was excusable

if he could not change his position for a while.

In addition,

Cheng's wife

has already been pregnant.

Is it true??

I am a father now?

Yes.

I am so excited.

I almost forgot.

I almost hurt you and the baby.

Sit down, please.

I am fine.

I'm the same

as before.

Don't! No!

It can't be the same.

Now you are more precious than before.

But why did you hide it from me?

Chi Hong told me that

there's a rule among your pirates that

a woman can't tell her husband this news

in the first three months.

Nonsense!

I've been a pirate for such a long time

and I've never heard that before!

Exactly!

I haven't heard of it either!

Chi Hong is so unreliable.

It's nonsense...

Qin Shangcheng,

are you angry?

I am blaming myself.

Let you alone to make a risk to South Desolation.

I'm worried about you and the baby.

That's my lord!

A little pirate is about to be born!

It's mini Yunhe who's about to make a splash!

Yes, yes.

What are you guys still here?

My lord,

there's only one room here.

Don't worry, my lord.

Zhang Xian and I will be the blind

and the deaf!

Yes!

Can't listen and see.

Rong,

now,

I just want our baby to be safe.

After he is born,

in this world

I will have one more person to love.

So

who do you love best?

I love you as much as baby.

It's correct.

Actually, I wanted to tell you about it.

But I was afraid that if I tell you,

you'll be too worried

to go to the front.

Qin Shangcheng,

now you are the only one

who can stop the war

and bring about peace talks between
South Desolation and Tianchu.

Anyway, we're in the Mu's Palace now.

You and I will take advantage of
this opportunity to do it.

Okay.

Cheng.

Cheng.

Are you feeling better now?

Grandma,

he's much better now.

That's great.

When I met you last time,

I thought

this young man was spirited

and handsome.

There was a sense of kinship.

I didn't expect that you are my grandson.

Qin Shangcheng.

Grandma.

Grandma,

do you know

why did His Majesty suddenly return today?

Your father came back

to tell me about your lot.

Now South Desolation and Tianchu are at war.

It's about the future of both countries.

Your father can't let you out yet.

But your father has promised me that

your wife

must be cared for by me.

Thanks a lot, grandma.

It may not be a bad idea.

I first go out,

and then play the martyr with the baby

and then save Qin Shangcheng out.

Take more.

What's wrong? Not your cup of tea?

Grandma,

these dishes are certainly palatable.

But

the baby in my womb wants my hometown's food,

especially the eel noodles

made by my husband.

I knew that

you are pregnant and have a bad appetite.

So I got you a cook from Tianchu ahead of time.

Well,

asking the kitchen to make a bowl of eel noodles.

Yes.

Thanks, grandma.

How can I save Qin Shangcheng?

Have it, Rong.

Have it.

I will.

Qin Shangcheng!

Where are you?

Where?

Qin Shangcheng!

Rong.

Grandma.

What's wrong?

Rong.

Since Qin Shangcheng was not with me,

I have nightmares every night,

worrying about something will happen to my baby.

Rong,

I went to the temple yesterday

to pray for you and your baby,

and I even get you an amulet.

Have a look.

Just put it under your pillow

and you can fall asleep.

You don't have to worry about

those nightmares.

But grandma, I still...

But what?

I'll sleep with you if you want.

Okay.

Grandma,

I heard that dad need to communicate more
with his baby during pregnancy.

In this way, father and son will not

be at odds with each other.

I don't want to

go the way of Qin Shangcheng and Your Majesty.

That makes sense.

You agree?

Cheng,

now you can start talking.

I and Rong and your baby are all listening.

You can start.

I...

Go on!

Daodao, my baby.

Daddy wants to be with you every day.

Go on.

Write them down.

Go on.

Daodao, my baby.

Daddy wants to be with you every day.

That's it?

Say something else.

Say something more.

Daddy wants to be with you every day.

Looks like grandma can't help me.

I have to find another way.

What place this is?

Who lives here?

This is the late empress's sleeping palace.

Today is the birthday of the late empress.

For 25 years,

on this day,

Your Majesty orders to clean here for a memorial.

May I have a look inside?

No.

Miss Hua,

Your Majesty forbids an outsider to go inside.

How could I be an outsider?

The late empress is my mother-in-law.

Miss Hua,

Everything in the late empress's sleeping palace

is in exactly the same position

as it was twenty-five years ago.

His Majesty would be furious

if he found anyone had touched it.

My dear, don't worry.

I know it.

I won't cause you any trouble.

Any wrong can be blamed on me.

Wanjiang Fulong Shoe shop in Yi-Chou year.

Yi-Chou year...

Your Majesty.

Mu Qing,

after 25 years,

I finally found him.

His personality is quite like mine.

He would rather break

than bend.

For so many years,

I have been thinking that

in that year

if I had not insisted on

expanding the north after assaulting Wanjiang,

there would have been no siege at Mount Xixia.

And you will not be victimized by evildoers.

I and my son

wouldn't be strangers.

Mu Qing,

for 25 years,

do you have any idea how much I've missed you?

Your Majesty.

Hua Rong?

Your Majesty.

What are you doing here?

I have heard everything you just said.

Therefore, in your heart,

there is a father-son affection for Qin Shangcheng.

I asked you what are you doing here?

I just saw Wanjiang Fulong Shoe shop
in Yi-Chou year

on those shoes.

I guess

that was the year

of Your Majesty's northern expanding to the Wanjiang.

It's also the year my husband was born in.

Hua Rong,

I don't want to hear these from you.

Although Your Majesty was away at the war,

you were still concerned about your pregnant wife.

You went out to buy those shoes specially.

But you did not expect

you couldn't see the last of her.

It's easy to kill a man

but hard to change his mind.

You are the daughter of Hua Mantian

who is a good mind reader.

Your Majesty.

Actually,

before the late empress married you,

she knew that you were too ambitious

to be an ordinary husband.

And she can't get the love and care of

her husband like other ordinary women.

But the late empress is sure to be

deeply grieved to see you two

estranged,

and even fighting each other.

Your Majesty,

Qin Shangcheng from childhood drifted
from place to place,

and has no day to enjoy the love of parents.

I don't want my baby

to have the same experience.

For missing the late empress,

The Emperor decided to pardon Mr. Qin.

Please go to the dining hall for a meeting.

My lord,

this can't be

Hongmenyan
[*A dinner at Hongmen where treachery that was planned.]

You're reading too much into it.

It must be her highness.

Isn't it, my lord?

Who cares what he wants?

Roll with

the punches.

Yes sir.

Your Majesty,

you finally figured it out.

This time our family

can finally have a good meal.

Yes.

Cheng,

here will be

your home from now on.

I'm too busy

to accompany you,

so you have to stay here alone.

Those walls can't stop me.

Rong is the only one

who can.

That's what your mother said back before.

She couldn't be trapped

in this big house.

But now,

Rong is pregnant.

I think you as a husband

can't

leave your wife and child behind.

For sure.

I want Rong to accompany for more time with me.

Tell you that

the kohlrabi and radish

are pickled by me.

Cheng,

have a try.

Try it.

Ok.

How about? Is it tasty?

- Yes!
- Is it tasty?

Grandpa must

have loved

grandma's cooking.

In those days...

In those days, Wanjiang invaded

to attack South Desolation.

I followed your grandpa to escape with your father.

There is no grain in the mountains.

We have to dig some kohlrabies and turnips to eat.

These vegetables saved

our Duanmu family.

This was true even for the nobility,

not to mention the people of the frontier.

Not one out of ten people survived.

It's hard to survive,

let alone feed themselves.

I don't want temporary peace

or stability in a corner,

but I want the whole world to be united

and the border areas to be free from trouble.

Your Majesty has sieged Tianlu City for a long time without success.

The unification of the world

is nothing but a quixotic dream.

If you're so sure,

do you want to

bet on it?

As you wish.

If South Desolation

takes Tianlu City within half a month.

Then you,

from then on,

have to stay here.

What if it doesn't?

If I lose,

you and Rong

can leave South Desolation safe and sound.

Will you keep your promise?

Yes, I will.

All right, all right.

You two,

don't argue about the family or the world,

much less the war or the peace.

Just finish this meal first,

could you?

Yes, mom.

Could you?

Yes, grandma.

Let's start!

Duanmu Qingcang is so sure

within half a month

to break Tianlu City,

he must have a plan.

Don't worry, my lord.

Don't you forget

Duanmu Qingcang has our spy

the Night-Wolf with him?

I'm sure he'll pass the information on to General Hua,

right?

Maybe.

I'm afraid the Night-Wolf won't make a move now.

The last time the Night-Wolf let out

Duanmu Qingcang's route of transporting grain,

which led to their retreat,

so now he must have been alert.

That is why in the Battle of Guanshan,

he could pass false information to us
on the pretext of the Night-Wolf

which caused that we were tricked

and you were captured.

This grandson is a real snake!

Qian,

you scold Duanmu Qingcang is a grandson.

Lord is his son,

then...

My lord,

I didn't mean that.

I mean,

grandfathers grow up from grandsons.

You must be able to make progress steadily

and defeat Duanmu Qingcang.

Shut up!

Your words are absolutely right.

But it won't be easy for the Night-Wolf

to send us messages.

The Night-Wolf is our only shot right now,

so anyway

we have to try it.

So the most important thing now

is to try to contact the Night-Wolf.

Do you remember

that letter?

Duanmu Qingcang has our spy with him.

As soon as he gets word on the grain route,

he'll drop the message off
at the corner of Springback Hall,

marking it with abutilon pictum.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, do you intend to use
Qin Shangcheng as bait

to lure out Tianchu's spy hidden in the court?

You are the one

who knows me best.

It's my pleasure, Your Majesty.

As the captain of the Shadow Guard,

I'm supposed to help Your Majesty out.

Then you tell me

how will you

help me out?

Now the three countries, South Desolation,
Wanjiang and Tianchu,

all have good timing, geographical convenience
and supported people.

But Wanjiang and Tianchu could only
check and balance each other,

not enough to unify.

We South Desolation is different.

Your Majesty has been secretly working
on the powerful cannon.

Once succeed,

Your Majesty must unify the world.

I see you've

been reading my mind a lot.

Tianchu's spy is hidden in the court.

Your Majesty is afraid of his threat to our cannon,

so you want to use Qin Shangcheng
to eliminate the spy.

Although

it's a good plan,

I'm afraid Qin Shangcheng won't take it.

Do you know

how to catch a big fish?

I don't know.

Men, like fish,

are cautious by day

and fearless by night.

So the only way to catch a big fish

is to make him bold.

Got it.

It's here. Here.

Qian,

so,

what,

what should we do?

Go to the corner.

Okay?

Qian,

done.

Should we wait here?

Are you stupid?

Do you want to be found here?

Come back tomorrow.

Let's go.

It's you!

Your Majesty,

I'm going to get rid of this spy now.

Wait a minute.

He

must be killed.

But now is not the time.

There is no need to alarm them.

So what Your Majesty is saying is

this false message still needs to be
delivered by Zou Yitian.

The messenger is sent by Zou Yitian,

but the culprit

is Qin Shangcheng.

The message is vital to the whole war.

If the message from Qin Shangcheng can
lead to a major defeat for Tianchu,

he will become a sinner in Tianchu,

and fall into a helpless state.

At that time,

Qin Shangcheng will naturally return to
the South Desolation.

My lord truly knew what was going on!

The Night-Wolf put this secret letter

at the corner.

The letter said that

the South Desolation

planned to attack Xunyang,

Shaoguan,

and Rongcheng, these three cities.

In fact...

I see, my lord!

In fact, it is a false shot!

They will feint

to weaken Tianlu City's forces,

and take it down in one fell swoop!

Am I right, Your Highness?

They will make a feint to somewhere
and attack in another place.

I'll have to inform my dad

to get all the troops

to defend Tianlu City,

and give them a blow.

Cheng,

The half-month bet is about to get a result.

Do you think

you can win?

The battle report hasn't come back yet.

It's too early to tell anything.

Scouts are on their way back.

I'll make you lose in no time.

But before that,

there's one thing we need to solve.

Take him here.

Lieutenant Zou?

He has another name,

Night-Wolf.

So you've been using us

to find the Night-Wolf.

Without you,

I wouldn't have found him,

and I couldn't pass the false message

to your father.

I should appreciate you for this.

Zou Yitian.

Night-Wolf.

I have always treated you well.

But you?

So,

Any last words

before you die?

I know

in these years

Your Majesty treated me so nice

and valued me.

I am grateful,

and also feel so guilty.

But I am from Tianchu.

I can only fight for Tianchu.

Although I will die,

I'm not regretful.

Okay.

I'll help you die.

Wait a moment!

It's my order!

Who dares disobey!

Anyone who intercedes with him today

will be treated as high treason!

How dare you!

Mom?

I'll see who will hurt my grandson and his wife.

Didn't you go to Lingchan Temple to pray?

I knew that

you must get a plot

for pardoning Cheng.

You let me down.

Mom.

You took advantage of your own son!

Mom, you...

I'm telling you

I have to protect my grandson and his wife

even if I have to die today!

- Report!
- Mom...

Your Majesty,

The armies besieging Xunyang,

Shaoguan and Rongcheng

are besieged by the armies of Tianchu!

What!

My lord. My lord.

The first step in having a baby

is to have a strong body.

Next,

you see,

a strong young man like you,

with powerful kungfu,

must have

a healthy baby.

He must be as energetic

as me.

Cut the cackle.

What's the second?

The second

is actually...

My lord! My lord!

Look at

this!

Good rice flower liquor!

My lord,

I saw you've been running around a lot lately.

Let's have a drink to relax.

My lord,

Alcohol is the worst taboo when
preparing for pregnancy.

Alcohol is bad for the brain.

- Take away!
- Take away!

My lord...

Hurry up!

I got this on the market.

- Take away!
- Take away!

Dayou.

My lord, I'll continue.

I'll give you a prescription

with great nourishing effect.

Then

you will

make it.

My lord is occupied by him.

Zhang,

Zhang, Zhang,

what kind of soup did you make?

This is the nourishing soup I made for lord.

It's an ancestral formula from Doctor Hua.

Look,

there are oysters and shrimps,

and various of beans.

I believe this will help lord

make it in one shot!

Great!

Give me some.

I made this for my lord.

It's not gonna work for you.

The lord

is tired to rush about recently,

and even suffered from eye disease.

He must be weak.

He needs nutrition.

But...

Who is weak?

My lord!

My lord.

My lord,

I didn't mean that.

I just thought

you have been married for a long time.

But Miss Hua hasn't been pregnant.

Look at me.

Hui got pregnant

soon after our marriage.

So I think you still in recovery

and need this soup

I am weak.

My lord.

I need the tonic soup?

My lord, I didn't mean that.

Only you are strong?

My lord, I didn't mean that.

My lord!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

It's all mine.

I can have the tonic soup.
