[Fighting for love]

[Episode 7]

I thought

all these years, conflicts

between Beimo and Nanxia

are just some small fights.

And there's no war.

Besides, Nanxia sends

food and money every year.

We never failed to perform.

There is no reason to break the contract for Beimo.

Father,

I think

Yinbao City was attacked by bandits.

The general failed to guard the city and was afraid of taking on responsibility.

So he blamed it on Beimo.

Father, you are wise.

Yinbao City was once a military industrial city.

Even if it declines, it can protect itself.

The enemy took the city

within a few hours.

They are well trained.

How could it be done by bandits?

Your Majesty,

I heard that

there have been many promising men in Beimo Army.

Besides, it's indeed strange that the Yinbao is lost.

Maybe Beimo really has the ambition to go south.

What ambition?

The emperor in Beimo

is just trying to get something from me.

Fine.

Send the diplomatic crops to the capital

and ask them what they want.

Have a discussion with them nicely.

There's no need to fight.

Father wants to negotiate peace again.

Do you have any objections?

I...

Father didn't want the people to suffer in war,

so he had to give in.

Brother,

why don't you understand

father's efforts?

Crown Prince.

Don't always stay in the Eastern Palace.

Go out more often.

Yes, Father.

I’m leaving.

How is Shi Yuan?

Your Majesty,

I think it’s almost time.

Keep an eye on Marquis Dingnan's Mansion.

If there is any news,

don't hide it from Shenghua.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Brother,

you've lost your calm today.

Thank you for pointing out.

I have something else to do.

Please help yourself.

Brother.

Are you mad at me?

My concern is that with father's age,

he shouldn't be worried about the war.

I just agreed with him.

It's not because of brother.

You're a filial second son.

Why would I worry?

That's great.

Since you have something important to do,

I'll leave you alone.

See you.

Do you have time to take a walk, Your Highness?

Sir, there is blood here.

Go away!

Keep your eyes wide open.

Don't miss any mark.

Xiu'er

Go!

Hurry! After them!

Let's go.

Your Highness, are you unwilling to negotiate peace?

Father has repeatedly yielded to Beimo.

As long as the army of Beimo is outside the border,

the court will send out the peace crops.

Not only will they send food and people,

they even give up the land.

Where is the national pride of Nanxia?

Father thought

as long as we don't put the people into war,

It is cherishing the people.

Don't you know everything sent

are the flesh and blood of the people?

Everything are heavy taxes from the people.

It is actually harming the people even more.

It's hard for the people to survive.

Your Highness putting people at the first place

is a blessing of Nanxia.

What's the use?

Father is so stubborn.

I can't persuade him at all.

Although I'm a civil official,

I'm not willing to give up the land of Nanxia.

The kid in Beimo is a puppet emperor.

And the administrative officials are split apart.

There's nothing to worry about.

In that case,

why don't you suggest father to counter-attack

and fight back?

First,

the generals in the court are withering.

No one can take the job.

Second,

His Majesty is concerned about the internal affairs and has no time for others.

Father...

Your Highness can't interfere in this matter. It's useless to think too much.

But there is one more thing

Your Highness must pay more attention to.

Thank you for reminding me.

It's late.

I should go back.

I'll see you out.

Brother Mai.

There's blood!

Slowly.

Is that Young Marquis?

That’s Mai.

Young Marquis.

Mai.

Young Marquis.

It's really you.

I told you we're destined to meet.

What's wrong with you?

Why are your clothes so dirty?

You're not any better.

Which one of us is dirtier?

It's the same.

It's the same.

That's why we're destined to be together.

Young Marquis.

What happened to you?

Don't mention it.

After we parted that day,

Longyin Guards have been after me.

I've been hiding in the forest for two days.

I see.

Xiu'er

This is Marquis Dingnan I mentioned to you.

Your Grace, this is Xiu'er.

I escaped from Yinbao City with her.

Hello, Xiu'er.

Greetings, Your Grace.

What? Escape?

General Chang Yuqing of Beimo

attacked Yingbao City.

We escaped from death.

We planned to go to Qingzhou to ask for your help.

It seems that

you didn't enter the city either.

We're sailing in the same boat.

What should we do?

I have an idea.

Can you ask your guards

to make a trip?

To lure the Longyin Guards here.

No.

My duty is to protect Young Marquis.

If you weren't, I wouldn't need you.

I...

Do you want to enter the city?

Mu Bai.

Mai is reliable.

Listen to her. Go.

Alright.

Zhao Zhong, Li Yu,

take care of Young Marquis.

Don't worry. Be careful.

Okay.

Be careful.

What should we do now?

You really trust me?

Yes.

Then come with me.

They stay and take care of Xiu'er.

Your Grace, no.

You two stay here to protect Miss Xiu'er.

This is an order.

-This... -Let’s go.

Brother Mai, where are you going?

Xiu'er.

Hide yourself well.

I'll pick you up soon.

Let's go.

Don't worry.

Young Marquis, be careful.

What's going on?

Sir,

this horse is not Marquis Dingnan's.

Sir.

There is no other trace.

It's a trap.

They didn't go far.

As long as we guard the entrance of the valley,

they can't escape.

Yes.

Retreat.

When they see the smoke,

someone will come to us.

Since we had this method,

why did you let Xiao Bai go?

You saw through me.

What do you mean?

Actually, I am not

go to Qingzhou to deliver message.

I want to go to Beimo.

Now the war makes it hard to go out.

Why don't I use Marquis Dingnan

in exchange of a passport to Beimo?

Mai.

Are you serious?

You really think I thought of you as a friend?

I treated you well, right?

Sergeant, look over there.

Take a look. Be careful.

Let's go.

Sir.

Is something wrong?

Should I go and take a look?

We're short-handed.

We have to prevent traps.

Young Marquis.

Run!

Leave four people behind.

The rest follow me.

Everyone,

if we can bring Marquis Dingnan back alive,

we can take Qingzhou

without a single soldier.

Isn't that a great merit?

Young Marquis.

Mai, what are you doing?

Let Young Marquis go.

The buyer has arrived.

If you don't decide,

I'll have to talk to them.

Okay.

Give him to me.

I promise I'll send you out.

Who dares to take away the people I want?

He's the Guard General of Qingzhou.

He is in charge of the military power of Qingzhou.

His life is more valuable than a dead body.

Get ready to run.

Marquis Dingnan, Shang Yizhi, colluded with Beimo.

Kill him without mercy.

Go!

Go.

Go.

Notify the people at the entrance! Stop them!

Pull yourselves together.

We can't let him out of the valley.

Yes.

We are fine.

Mai. Mai.

I don’t know why.

You are like another person

and treated me very rude.

I can feel the tension

and excitement.

No reason.

He did it to save you.

Sorry, I didn't tell you.

Because I was afraid that you couldn't do it well.

Don't tell me next time.

Not bad.

What are you talking about?

You're talking nonsense.

Let me tell you.

It's hard for us to get there even if we reached the entrance.

I'm also worried about this.

How about this?

I'll pick up Xiu'er.

We'll meet at the entrance of the valley.

Keep an eye on him.

Let's go.

Come.

Brother Mai.

Xiu'er.

Brother Mai.

Thank you for taking care of Xiu'er.

You're welcome. Where's His Grace.

Let's meet at the entrance of the valley.

Okay.

Let's go.

Here.

It’s guarded.

Will Mai be in danger?

He’s smart.

Don't worry.

Be careful.

Young Marquis.

Are you all right?

Yes.

I was so worried.

Where were you just now?

I went to make some preparations.

What are you doing?

Your face is dirty.

So I wipe it for you.

Did he find out that I'm a girl?

It shouldn't be.

Don't look at me like that.

It's creepy.

Let me tell you.

I know you nobles

have people who like guys.

I'm warning you, I don't have that kind of fetish.

I see.

Why are you humming?

If you hum,

it'll be harder to explain.

Alright, no need to explain.

I understand.

Take off your clothes.

Take off your clothes.

People are watching.

Hurry up.

This...

Turn around.

Hurry up.

-Take it off. -Hurry up.

It's urgent.

Don't look.

Give it to me.

It's your turn. I'm in a hurry too.

I'm pretending to be you

and distract them with Mu Bai.

Take Xiu'er and run out.

Understand?

Let go!

No, this...

No, I don't agree.

It's too dangerous.

Let me go.

It's useless.

Only I know my schemes.

This...

I'll go.

Xiu'er.

After I leave, follow Zhao Zhong.

Go.

Don't you want me anymore?

This...

Xiu'er.

Don't think too much.

I promise. I'll be back soon.

It's just temporary.

Let's go.

Go.

It's them! Go after them!

This way.

Jump with me.

Stop!

Come here.

Come on. Jump.

Come on!

-Let’s go. -Brother.

Go!

Go!

Go!

-Get him! -No.

Brother, it's fake.

We are fooled.

Go!

Is this your trap?

Are you impressed? No need to say anything.

Just keep that in mind.

Thank you.

[Qinshan sentry]

General.

We've checked.

There are more than 300 Nanxia soldiers in Qinshan sentry,

none of them survived.

General is so powerful.

A long-range raid and divine troops descending from the sky.

The Nanxia Army were taken by surprise.

Thank you, guys.

Go back and rest for a few days.

Recharge your energy.

This Qinshan sentry

is the only way for the army to enter Nanxia.

The second camp will guard it.

No mistake is allowed.

Yes.

The rest of you

follow me

to Jingyang.

Yes.

Your Majesty,

Shi Yuan sent a letter just now.

Marquis Dingnan went to Qingzhou.

Prime Minister Lin,

do you think Yizhi

is destined to live?

Why can't I kill him?

How's everything going in Qingzhou?

Your Majesty,

Everything is prepared.

[Qingzhou City]

Let's go.

[Qingzhou City]

Thank you, sir.

This is my

passport.

It's mine.

Go.

Thank you.

What about you?

This is mine.

Sir,

it's too hot.

Here, have some watermelon to quench your thirst.

I'm just doing this job.

It's not hard.

It's not easy for you businessmen.

I can't accept this.

Please accept it.

This is a little something from me.

Okay.

Thank you.

This watermelon is delicious.

Let's eat together.

How dare you!

Y-y-you are not selling it?

Sorry, brother.

I only saw the seller,

and didn't see you two.

How about this?

This watermelon is my treat.

Make yourselves at home.

Here.

Little beggar.

Not everyone can enter this city.

Leave as soon as you finish this.

What did you call me?

Little beggar.

Do I look like a beggar?

No. How could he call you that?

I...

Sir.

We are civilians. We need to enter the city.

We've been running all the way.

I want to eat when I see this watermelon.

Civilians?

I've never seen such bold civilians like you.

Come.

Show me your pass.

In order to distract the enemy,

I gave the passes to guard of honor.

How can we get in?

What? You can't take it out?

I ran into bandits on the way.

Yes.

I lost it.

Bandits?

I think you are the bandits.

You all hold guns and swords with that face.

I feel disgusted when I see you.

Tell me.

Are you coming to Qingzhou City

to do something bad?

A bunch of scoundrels.

It's okay to say that they are scoundrels,

but you can't say that to him.

Look at him.

How handsome is he?

How dare you argue with me?

Guards!

Yes.

Arrest

these scoundrels!

Don't move.

Who dares?

Here comes Marquis Dingnan, the City Guard of Qingzhou.

Here comes Marquis Dingnan, the City Guard of Qingzhou.

Go. Go.

Get out of the way!

Sir.

Move!

How dare you!

Greetings, Your Grace.

Your Grace.

Put down the sword.

Put the sword down.

You are...

I am a scoundrel and a thief.

No, no.

I didn't recognize you.

B-b-b...

Not that big.

Let's go inside.

Go.

Go away!

Move!

[Qingzhou City]

Listen to me.

Coming here

is like coming back home.

If you want to eat, drink,

or have anything you want,

just tell them.

Cheers.

Young Marquis, you're too kind.

Thank you, Young Marquis.

Welcome, Mai.

Young Marquis.

I need your help.

I’ve always wanted to go to Beimo.

I couldn't get the passport.

Do you have any good idea?

You still want to go?

I must go.

Look, Young Marquis.

Mai.

You’ve come to the right person for this.

The release of the passports

is managed by the peace crops.

The person in charge of the peace crops

is a friend who I considered as a brother.

Young Marquis.

I'll drink up.

Cheers.

Here.

Young Marquis.

I need your help with one more thing.

One of our friends

got separated in Yinbao City.

His name is Mr. Ghost Hand Four.

Can you have someone to ask about

his situation?

This is easy.

Let Mu Bai arrange it for you.

It’s my pleasure to meet you.

Cheers.

Young Marquis.

Don't forget

you have to visit Mr. Xu later.

By the way,

I am done.

No, no, no.

It's late.

Mr. Xu is...

According to my mother,

Mr. Xu

is an unprecedented genius.

He ate the ink.

He's a genius.

This must be his special seasoning.

Look how deliciously he is eating.

I'm hungry.

Let's go back.

Mr. Xu.

Can you tell me the value of this painting?

It's not valuable.

It's worthless.

You only see half of it.

Why do you think so?

[Shang Yizhi]

[Shang Yizhi]

Now, what's the value of this painting?

This painting is worth 20 years of Xu Jing's life.

Mr. Xu,

please get up.

Mother has told me everything.

For the sake of our family,

you've remained incognito in Qingzhou for over 20 years.

It is a great merit.

You are my master.

Young Marquis, you don't have to do this.

I'm indebted to Princess Shenghua.

I will do my best.

May I ask...

This man

is a friend I know in Shengdu.

Without him,

I will not be able to arrive safely.

Greetings, Mr.Xu.

You must be in great danger.

Thanks to Mai.

It's my pleasure.

Mr. Xu.

Before my mother left,

she gave me a list.

A list of trustworthy people who

were my father's former subordinates.

I wonder if General Liang Shao and Wei Peng

are in the camp now?

Although I'm not in the army,

I have a tacit understanding with all generals.

The generals treat Wei Peng and Liang Shao as leaders.

General Wei Peng fought well.

He became a general step by step.

His Grace praised him a lot.

Why don't you ask him the way of leading army?

There's another person, General Liang Shao.

He used to be His Grace's guard.

Later, he injured his leg.

His Grace entrusted him

to General Wei Peng.

He's experienced and loyal.

We can trust him.

I'll send someone

to inform the two generals.

Tomorrow morning, Young Marquis will take the office first.

Don't worry.

Thank you, Mr.Xu.

You're really something.

Why not take a carriage?

What do you know?

It's the first day the new officer takes office.

I have to let them see me.

What to show them if I sit in the carriage.

To watch horses.

You didn't rest well?

It's you taking the office.

You can go alone.

Why did you wake me up early in the morning?

I slept much less than you.

Waking up to pick an armor?

I can't tell.

You're a man.

You've been choosing all morning.

There's no difference in this armor.

People who don't know

would think you're getting married today.

The most important thing for men is details.

It's called paying attention.

I guess you're the only one who cares.

You know what?

According to my observation,

the people on the streets

are probably my father's old subordinates.

They are protecting me in secret.

How can I be the only one who cares about it?

There are many people.

I am in a high position.

Those soldiers

will feel like they are walking on thin ice.

You'll get used to it.

Young Marquis.

Be careful.

What?

This is Qingzhou.

My father has protected Qingzhou for so many years.

Everyone has to show me some respect.

[City Guard Mansion]

City Guard Mansion

Why is the gate open?

Brothers, let's go.

[City Guard Mansion]

Yes.

Come here.

Coming.

Come on, cheers.

Come on. We must drink.

Come on.

Cheers.

Good wine.

Don't mention it.

Here comes the General.

Where is your manner?

Ge...

No.

This is the thin ice you are talking about?

It's so thick.

City Guard Mansion is an important place.

How can we let anyone break in?

Which camp is on duty today?

This is ridiculous.

Young Master,

you should leave.

Leave now.

Let's go.

You don't know who I am?

No.

My name is Shang Yizhi.

I'm the new Guard General of Qingzhou.

We did receive

that the new guard general will be on duty.

But since General Shang is a military general,

those who practice martial arts should look rough.

It doesn't make sense that you're a delicate little boy.

Right?

Listen to your word.

I am doubting myself.

Really?

Then I can only find someone sensible

to talk.

Where is Deputy General Wei Peng?

General Wei was transferred yesterday.

He has departed overnight,

and no longer work in Qingzhou.

What about Liang Shao?

He took the position with General Wei.

Not only the two generals,

but also their subordinates and other generals

went to the new office together.

This table

was supposed to be a farewell banquet for all generals.

But the generals left in a hurry.

So we stayed and ate it ourselves.

[Marquis Dingnan]

Open your eyes and look carefully.

This is the token of Marquis Dingnan's.

[Marquis Dingnan]

So, it really is the General.

Pardon my rudeness.

It's been so many days.

I wonder what you look like.

Forget it.

I understand.

I forgive you.

But why are these two

got drunk as soon as they see me?

Get up.

His Excellency has arrived.

We can't let others say

our Qingzhou Army doesn't know the rules.

Get up.

Your Excellency.

I'm really sorry.

They just took the medicine.

Now the medicine is kicking in and they are sleeping well.

You are generous.

Please don't mind.
