{\an8}[Episode 31]
3
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,050
Happy birthday, Father.
4
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,080
May you live a long life,
full of happiness and health.
5
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,150
Great!
6
00:02:17,590 --> 00:02:18,560
Wonderful!
7
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,210
-Thank you, Father.
-Thank you, Father.
8
00:02:27,310 --> 00:02:28,310
Brother-in-Law!
9
00:02:28,810 --> 00:02:29,650
Yes, you.
10
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:30,900
What are you waiting for?
11
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:32,150
Give your birthday wishes.
12
00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:33,090
Three were prepared.
13
00:02:33,090 --> 00:02:33,900
One is for you.
14
00:02:42,030 --> 00:02:42,880
I'm afraid that
15
00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:45,240
mere words can't express
my sincere wishes,
16
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,570
so I've specially prepared a gift
17
00:02:46,570 --> 00:02:47,840
for the Grand General.
18
00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:08,470
Thank you.
19
00:03:54,940 --> 00:03:58,370
Bravo! Bravo!
20
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:23,620
Father!
21
00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:24,500
Father!
22
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,160
Jin'an,
23
00:05:07,180 --> 00:05:08,240
protect my father!
24
00:05:28,750 --> 00:05:30,000
B-Brother-in-Law...
25
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,360
Father!
26
00:05:57,930 --> 00:05:58,440
Shuang.
27
00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:18,160
Arrest Jin'an!
28
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,600
Empress Dowager Qin's secret letter
29
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:31,920
must've reached the Taijin Palace.
30
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:32,940
Escort the master away.
31
00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:34,750
Master, you need to leave first.
32
00:06:34,750 --> 00:06:36,310
Our comrades are waiting outside the city.
33
00:06:36,310 --> 00:06:37,700
I'll cover your retreat.
34
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,470
Why?
35
00:07:35,390 --> 00:07:37,190
Why do you want to kill my father?
36
00:07:39,060 --> 00:07:40,820
We'd agreed to leave Yunjing
37
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,600
together that day.
38
00:07:45,020 --> 00:07:48,290
But you used the birthday visit
as an excuse to keep me here.
39
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,600
So you planned
40
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:52,430
to kill my father
41
00:07:53,610 --> 00:07:55,060
right from the beginning.
42
00:07:56,380 --> 00:07:57,870
I really do love you.
43
00:08:01,540 --> 00:08:03,420
But there are things I have to do.
44
00:08:10,310 --> 00:08:11,430
Then let me ask you.
45
00:08:12,380 --> 00:08:13,720
Everything between us—
46
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,230
our promises
47
00:08:17,070 --> 00:08:17,830
and our love—
48
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,870
do they all mean nothing now?
49
00:08:21,850 --> 00:08:23,050
Our meeting,
50
00:08:24,610 --> 00:08:25,480
our love,
51
00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:29,750
our vow to live and die together,
52
00:08:30,940 --> 00:08:32,270
our secret engagement—
53
00:08:35,030 --> 00:08:36,080
they're all real.
54
00:08:39,270 --> 00:08:41,150
But my dearest kin was
55
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,080
killed by Li Wei himself.
56
00:08:46,110 --> 00:08:47,230
That is also true.
57
00:08:53,790 --> 00:08:54,750
My father...
58
00:08:57,550 --> 00:08:59,820
My father would never kill the innocent.
59
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,390
Who are you, really?
60
00:09:02,030 --> 00:09:03,500
Vengeance has its target,
61
00:09:03,830 --> 00:09:05,230
and debts their debtors.
62
00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:08,320
Blood for blood;
63
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,320
I must make Li Wei pay for what he did.
64
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,330
Although I know it's unlikely,
65
00:09:15,150 --> 00:09:16,690
I still want to ask you this:
66
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:19,790
Shuang,
67
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,470
will you come with me?
68
00:09:23,830 --> 00:09:24,910
Go with you?
69
00:09:27,790 --> 00:09:29,320
Do you expect that someday
70
00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:32,380
we'll be united as husband and wife...
71
00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:37,100
to turn our swords against my father?
72
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,820

Guards!
115
00:12:16,500 --> 00:12:17,670
Arrest Li Shuang!
116
00:12:19,250 --> 00:12:20,750
The rest of you, search for him!
117
00:12:20,750 --> 00:12:21,750
Bring him to me,
118
00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:23,250
dead or alive.
119
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,110
Yes sir!
120
00:12:37,610 --> 00:12:38,750
Hand over Jin'an
121
00:12:38,780 --> 00:12:40,590
and I'll spare your lives today.
122
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,710
If we were afraid of death,
123
00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:45,470
we wouldn't have ambushed
Taijin's Grand General in his residence.
124
00:12:45,470 --> 00:12:47,320
Since you persist in your idiocy,
125
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:48,690
you all deserve to die.
126
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:49,590
Attack!
127
00:13:02,370 --> 00:13:03,000
Wang,
128
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,320
leave with Wei.
129
00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:05,200
Escort Prince Annan
130
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,350
back to the city.
131
00:13:06,540 --> 00:13:07,420
Cut the crap.
132
00:13:07,490 --> 00:13:08,840
If we leave, we leave together.
133
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,230
I won't leave you here to die.
134
00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:10,910
Our lives are
135
00:13:10,910 --> 00:13:12,320
devoted to protecting Prince Annan.
136
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,780
If he can't return safely,
137
00:13:13,820 --> 00:13:15,820
our comrades will have died in vain.
138
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:16,850
Remember:
139
00:13:17,090 --> 00:13:18,360
you must get out alive!
140
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,540
Let's be comrades again in the next life.
141
00:13:23,250 --> 00:13:23,830
After them!
142
00:13:23,830 --> 00:13:25,090
Don't let them escape!
143
00:13:39,750 --> 00:13:40,670
[Prince Annan,]
144
00:13:40,750 --> 00:13:42,300
[Taijin forces have ambushed the valley.]
145
00:13:42,300 --> 00:13:43,660
[What should we do?]
146
00:13:44,750 --> 00:13:46,750
[Then I'll have to cross the valley]
147
00:13:46,770 --> 00:13:48,630
[and head straight for Lucheng.]
148
00:13:53,830 --> 00:13:54,390
Prince Annan.
149
00:13:54,390 --> 00:13:55,200
You're awake.
150
00:13:55,830 --> 00:13:56,590
Take it easy.
151
00:13:56,910 --> 00:13:57,990
You're injured.
152
00:13:59,170 --> 00:14:00,860
You should just rest well.
153
00:14:08,270 --> 00:14:09,550
Don't worry, Prince Annan.
154
00:14:09,550 --> 00:14:10,150
This place is
155
00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:11,750
within Yao State territory.
156
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,030
This inn,
157
00:14:13,030 --> 00:14:13,870
inside and out,
158
00:14:13,870 --> 00:14:15,260
is staffed by our own men.
159
00:14:15,470 --> 00:14:16,960
You may focus on recuperating.
160
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,550
How's the battle in Lucheng?
161
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,450
Where's my brother?
162
00:14:29,990 --> 00:14:30,780
Prince Annan?
163
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:31,660
Prince Annan.
164
00:14:31,870 --> 00:14:32,870
Are you okay?
165
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,030
The Battle of Lucheng ended a year ago.
166
00:14:35,030 --> 00:14:36,290
Our army was defeated.
167
00:14:36,390 --> 00:14:37,110
Moreover,
168
00:14:37,270 --> 00:14:38,130
His Majesty was
169
00:14:38,350 --> 00:14:39,670
assassinated long ago.
170
00:14:51,230 --> 00:14:52,270
What the hell are you saying?
171
00:14:52,270 --> 00:14:52,990
Prince Annan,
172
00:14:52,990 --> 00:14:54,390
don't you remember anything?
173
00:14:54,390 --> 00:14:55,030
This past year,
174
00:14:55,030 --> 00:14:55,620
you've been in Taijin—
175
00:14:55,620 --> 00:14:56,590
A year ago,
176
00:14:56,750 --> 00:14:58,200
when His Majesty
suddenly left the palace,
177
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,590
you sensed something was off
178
00:14:59,590 --> 00:15:00,990
and rushed to the rescue.
179
00:15:01,370 --> 00:15:03,250
But then for some unknown reason,
180
00:15:03,260 --> 00:15:04,620
the court suddenly announced
181
00:15:04,620 --> 00:15:05,690
that you were dead.
182
00:15:05,690 --> 00:15:06,970
We had our doubts,
183
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,130
so we'd been secretly investigating
184
00:15:09,150 --> 00:15:10,090
until recently,
185
00:15:10,110 --> 00:15:11,320
when we tracked your whereabouts
186
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,620
in Taijin territory.
187
00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:13,790
But unexpectedly,
188
00:15:13,850 --> 00:15:14,750
on our way back to court,
189
00:15:14,750 --> 00:15:16,370
we were hunted by Taijin people.
190
00:15:16,370 --> 00:15:18,290
We failed to protect you properly.
191
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:19,590
Please forgive us,
192
00:15:19,740 --> 00:15:20,570
Prince Annan!
193
00:15:25,090 --> 00:15:26,750
My brother is dead?
194
00:15:30,470 --> 00:15:31,710
One year...
195
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:36,890
Why can't I remember anything
from this past year?
196
00:15:39,670 --> 00:15:40,480
Prince Annan.
197
00:15:41,270 --> 00:15:42,910
Now, you're severely injured and weak,
198
00:15:42,910 --> 00:15:43,990
and mentally exhausted.
199
00:15:43,990 --> 00:15:45,080
Please just rest well.
200
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:45,710
In a few days,
201
00:15:45,710 --> 00:15:46,500
you'll surely recover.
202
00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:47,200
Please lie down.
203
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:47,590
Here.
204
00:15:48,740 --> 00:15:50,870
That day, Consort Qin took my brother out.
205
00:15:50,870 --> 00:15:52,120
She killed him!
206
00:15:53,270 --> 00:15:55,830
It is definitely fishy that
Empress Dowager Qin suddenly
207
00:15:55,830 --> 00:15:57,500
took His Majesty out of the palace.
208
00:15:57,500 --> 00:15:59,440
And everyone present that day said
209
00:15:59,670 --> 00:16:01,470
the one who assassinated His Majesty
210
00:16:01,470 --> 00:16:03,080
was the Grand General of Taijin,
211
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:03,910
Li Wei.
212
00:16:05,750 --> 00:16:06,870
Li Wei?
213
00:16:10,670 --> 00:16:13,370
Empress Dowager... Qin?
214
00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:16,150
Wang Meng.
215
00:16:17,870 --> 00:16:18,870
This past year...
216
00:16:21,750 --> 00:16:23,270
who reigns in Yao State?
217
00:16:23,290 --> 00:16:24,550
After the late emperor
218
00:16:24,750 --> 00:16:26,200
passed away,
219
00:16:26,670 --> 00:16:28,370
the Qin clan announced
220
00:16:28,910 --> 00:16:30,790
that you'd died of sudden illness.
221
00:16:30,790 --> 00:16:32,420
They then placed the young prince
222
00:16:32,420 --> 00:16:33,830
on the throne as Emperor.
223
00:16:33,830 --> 00:16:35,750
She was honored as Empress Dowager
224
00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:37,620
and took full control of the court.
225
00:16:37,620 --> 00:16:39,270
Your former subordinates
226
00:16:39,650 --> 00:16:41,720
were charged with fabricated crimes
227
00:16:42,130 --> 00:16:43,390
and severely demoted.
228
00:16:43,750 --> 00:16:44,870
Some were killed,
229
00:16:45,610 --> 00:16:46,660
and others exiled.
230
00:16:46,790 --> 00:16:48,650
Anyone in court who raised doubts
231
00:16:48,750 --> 00:16:50,210
was punished the same way.
232
00:16:50,790 --> 00:16:51,470
Those...
233
00:16:53,110 --> 00:16:55,240
Those loyal ministers and generals
who dared to speak up
234
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,240
have mostly been eliminated by her.
235
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,300
In this court,
236
00:17:10,260 --> 00:17:11,880
someone wants us dead.
237
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:13,960
Yet we are
238
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,550
still alive.
239
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,020
In that case,
240
00:17:20,110 --> 00:17:21,880
let's send them a grand gift.
241
00:17:26,110 --> 00:17:27,380
Let's return to court.
242
00:17:29,540 --> 00:17:30,280
Yes, Prince Annan.
243
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,340
Yes, Prince Annan!
244
00:17:34,310 --> 00:17:35,540
Our state has voluntarily ceded
245
00:17:35,540 --> 00:17:37,260
our Qingchuan and Helan cities,
246
00:17:37,260 --> 00:17:39,160
signifying our utmost sincerity.
247
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:39,750
How can Taijin
248
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:42,230
be so unreasonable and demanding?
249
00:17:43,350 --> 00:17:44,750
My dear ministers,
250
00:17:45,260 --> 00:17:47,730
do you have
any other brilliant strategies?
251
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,060
Ceding territory for peace was
already a disgrace to our Yao State.
252
00:17:51,060 --> 00:17:53,440
The audacity of Taijin to be so arrogant.
253
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,640
Our only option now is
254
00:17:56,500 --> 00:17:58,400
to tear up the peace agreement
255
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,410
to restore the people's faith.
256
00:18:02,110 --> 00:18:03,230
Does Your Majesty
257
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:04,300
mean
258
00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:06,300
you're abandoning those soldiers?
259
00:18:06,300 --> 00:18:08,020
They've become prisoners of war,
260
00:18:08,020 --> 00:18:10,350
which means they should've
long become martyrs.
261
00:18:10,350 --> 00:18:11,830
Clinging to life
262
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,300
only brings shame to our nation
263
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,640
and disgrace to our wise ruler.
264
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,230
The late emperor
loved his people like his own.
265
00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:19,470
When Prince Annan was around,
266
00:18:19,470 --> 00:18:20,440
he never committed the sin
267
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,500
of disregarding the captives' lives.
268
00:18:22,500 --> 00:18:23,440
Your Majesty's strategy
269
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,030
seems to be using the Taijin Emperor
to wipe out
270
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,560
Prince Annan's former subordinates.
271
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,610
During the Battle of Lucheng,
272
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,200
Duan Aodeng, as the commander,
273
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,040
abandoned the battlefield
without authorization,
274
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,570
resulting in our army's
devastating defeat.
275
00:18:38,020 --> 00:18:40,260
To preserve
the imperial family's reputation,
276
00:18:40,260 --> 00:18:44,020
I refrained from displaying his corpse
as punishment for his crimes.
277
00:18:44,020 --> 00:18:45,750
Even if his subordinates
278
00:18:46,230 --> 00:18:48,400
survive to return,
279
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,700
they can't escape the death penalty.
280
00:18:51,540 --> 00:18:52,830
So, Your Majesty,
281
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,680
do you intend to punish me as well?
282
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,020
It's been a year since we last met.
283
00:19:53,020 --> 00:19:53,960
Do you all
284
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,000
not recognize me anymore?
285
00:19:56,020 --> 00:19:57,080
It's Prince Annan!
286
00:19:57,470 --> 00:19:58,540
It's Prince Annan!
287
00:19:58,630 --> 00:19:59,420
It's him!
288
00:19:59,550 --> 00:20:00,610
It's Prince Annan!
289
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:01,780
Prince Annan has returned!
290
00:20:01,780 --> 00:20:02,540
He's back!
291
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:05,990
It really is him.
292
00:20:05,990 --> 00:20:06,880
Prince Annan,
293
00:20:06,990 --> 00:20:08,110
you're still alive!
294
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:12,590
A year ago,
295
00:20:13,260 --> 00:20:14,780
I was harmed by traitors
296
00:20:15,300 --> 00:20:16,590
and severely wounded,
297
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,000
barely escaping death.
298
00:20:20,060 --> 00:20:21,640
To avoid complications,
299
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,420
it was announced
that I'd died from illness.
300
00:20:24,740 --> 00:20:26,140
Now that I've recovered,
301
00:20:26,230 --> 00:20:27,500
I naturally must
302
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,640
return to serve the court.
303
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,170
Prince Annan's safe return
304
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:32,960
is truly a blessing for Yao State.
305
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:33,690
We ministers
306
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,260
welcome Prince Annan
307
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:36,990
back to court!
308
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,640
We ministers
welcome Prince Annan back to court!
309
00:20:46,020 --> 00:20:46,640
Yu!
310
00:20:47,590 --> 00:20:48,230
We ministers...
311
00:20:48,230 --> 00:20:49,350
Your Majesty!
312
00:20:49,350 --> 00:20:51,160
This isn't proper!
313
00:21:11,260 --> 00:21:12,880
You've escaped death.
314
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,750
Even after being away for a year,
315
00:21:16,350 --> 00:21:18,550
you still command everyone's loyalty.
316
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,540
With your assistance,
317
00:21:20,890 --> 00:21:22,840
the late emperor's and my son
318
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,880
would surely pacify the realm
319
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,660
and be free of worries.
320
00:21:29,180 --> 00:21:32,150
{\an8}[In loving memory of
Emperor Wencheng of Yao State]
321
00:21:35,710 --> 00:21:36,400
Somebody.
322
00:21:40,060 --> 00:21:40,750
Here, Your Majesty.
323
00:21:40,750 --> 00:21:42,230
Convey my decree:
324
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,350
Today we rejoice at the safe return
of the Second Prince.
325
00:21:45,350 --> 00:21:46,610
From this day forward,
326
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,220
he shall be reinstated
327
00:21:48,470 --> 00:21:50,060
as Prince Annan.
328
00:21:50,230 --> 00:21:51,990
As you command, Your Majesty.
329
00:21:54,350 --> 00:21:56,160
No need for this pretense.
330
00:21:56,710 --> 00:21:58,990
You don't have to
assert your authority over me.
331
00:21:58,990 --> 00:22:01,510
The court's people
address me as Prince Annan
332
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,560
because I fought in bloody battles
333
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,710
and killed enemies bravely,
334
00:22:05,710 --> 00:22:06,920
which led to
335
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:09,030
Yao State's prosperity...
336
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:12,760
and territorial expansion today.
337
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,000
Even if you don't restore my title,
338
00:22:18,470 --> 00:22:21,670
I remain an unshakeable member
of Yao's imperial family,
339
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:24,360
the one and only Prince Annan of Yao.
340
00:22:49,230 --> 00:22:52,200
If you hadn't taken my brother
out of the palace that day,
341
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,680
there's no way Li Wei would've succeeded.
342
00:22:56,980 --> 00:22:58,540
I should kill you right now
343
00:22:59,130 --> 00:23:01,000
to appease my brother's spirit.
344
00:23:04,780 --> 00:23:05,780
But alas...
345
00:23:08,830 --> 00:23:10,920
The political situation in Yao
has just stabilized.
346
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,490
Shaking things up now would be unwise.
347
00:23:12,490 --> 00:23:13,450
Besides, Yu is
348
00:23:14,540 --> 00:23:16,350
my brother's flesh and blood.
349
00:23:16,410 --> 00:23:18,300
Having lost his father
at such a young age,
350
00:23:18,300 --> 00:23:20,640
that poor child can't lose his mother too.
351
00:23:26,630 --> 00:23:27,830
From now on,
352
00:23:29,030 --> 00:23:30,760
as long as you behave yourself,
353
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,000
I will
354
00:23:32,990 --> 00:23:35,110
spare your life for a couple more days.
355
00:23:35,470 --> 00:23:36,470
Otherwise...
356
00:23:39,060 --> 00:23:40,110
you have to die.
357
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:15,230
Sit.
358
00:24:28,020 --> 00:24:29,690
I was the one who let Jin'an go.
359
00:24:33,540 --> 00:24:34,750
He wounded my father,
360
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,850
but that is our personal feud.
361
00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:41,100
I won't allow Your Majesty to...
362
00:24:42,710 --> 00:24:44,300
falsely accuse him of killing Prince Li
363
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:45,760
and execute him unjustly.
364
00:24:46,900 --> 00:24:48,500
Swarmed with state affairs,
365
00:24:49,060 --> 00:24:51,400
Your Majesty should not
waste your time with me.
366
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,520
General Li, you're truly forthright.
367
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,590
If Jin'an were
368
00:24:55,750 --> 00:24:57,160
half as honest as you,
369
00:24:57,470 --> 00:24:59,590
he wouldn't have left Taijin alive.
370
00:25:01,710 --> 00:25:02,640
Do you know
371
00:25:04,110 --> 00:25:06,020
whom you actually set free?
372
00:25:06,540 --> 00:25:09,230
He is the younger brother
of Yao State's former ruler,
373
00:25:09,230 --> 00:25:10,880
Prince Annan, Duan Aodeng!
374
00:25:21,140 --> 00:25:22,930
Your Majesty rules this land
375
00:25:23,470 --> 00:25:25,470
and holds power over life and death.
376
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:28,260
Even if you want Jin'an dead,
377
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,960
you shouldn't resort to
making up such an absurd story.
378
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,680
I used to think you were
379
00:25:33,260 --> 00:25:34,990
exceptionally intelligent,
380
00:25:35,350 --> 00:25:37,350
but faced with matters of the heart,
381
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,790
you're equally useless.
382
00:25:39,230 --> 00:25:40,160
Why do you think
383
00:25:40,220 --> 00:25:42,610
he tried to assassinate the Grand General?
384
00:25:43,020 --> 00:25:45,550
Because Yao State's former ruler,
Duan Aoze,
385
00:25:46,310 --> 00:25:48,230
died by your father's sword.
386
00:26:10,340 --> 00:26:12,150
[But my dearest kin was]
387
00:26:12,650 --> 00:26:14,530
[killed by Li Wei himself.]
388
00:26:14,830 --> 00:26:16,960
[My father would never kill the innocent.]
389
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:17,910
[Vengeance has its target,]
390
00:26:17,910 --> 00:26:19,200
[and debts their debtors.]
391
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:19,990
Blood for blood;
392
00:26:19,990 --> 00:26:21,990
I must make Li Wei pay for what he did.
393
00:26:28,020 --> 00:26:28,880
What?
394
00:26:30,260 --> 00:26:31,880
Have you finally understood
395
00:26:32,100 --> 00:26:34,030
the grave disaster you've caused?
396
00:26:34,540 --> 00:26:35,470
Back then,
397
00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:37,230
so many soldiers sacrificed their lives
398
00:26:37,230 --> 00:26:39,110
just for this fragile peace we have today.
399
00:26:39,110 --> 00:26:40,590
You've let the enemy
return to his homebase.
400
00:26:40,590 --> 00:26:42,200
Would he possibly stop here?
401
00:26:42,830 --> 00:26:43,920
This is the result
402
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,590
of your lack of resoluteness.
403
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,560
I haven't thrown you into the dungeon;
404
00:26:51,690 --> 00:26:52,930
just house arrest.
405
00:26:53,750 --> 00:26:54,710
I'm giving you a chance
406
00:26:54,710 --> 00:26:56,230
to redeem yourself.
407
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,000
Time is running out.
408
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,260
Take good care of your health.
409
00:27:00,260 --> 00:27:02,260
Soon, you'll lead troops into battle
410
00:27:02,260 --> 00:27:03,590
to attack the Yao State.
411
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:15,480
Your Majesty.
412
00:27:16,990 --> 00:27:17,780
Your Majesty.
413
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:19,750
Your Majesty.
414
00:27:19,830 --> 00:27:21,750
In the several clashes with Yao State,
415
00:27:21,750 --> 00:27:22,670
we barely won.
416
00:27:23,990 --> 00:27:25,590
Our casualties were devastating,
417
00:27:25,590 --> 00:27:27,000
and the people suffered.
418
00:27:27,020 --> 00:27:29,430
We finally have some peace and prosperity,
419
00:27:29,580 --> 00:27:31,310
and Yao State is seeking peace.
420
00:27:32,350 --> 00:27:33,830
Why not take this opportunity
421
00:27:33,830 --> 00:27:35,170
to put an end to this war?
422
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:42,360
General Li, have you lost your mind?
423
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:44,900
You care about the people;
424
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,500
I do too.
425
00:27:47,470 --> 00:27:49,520
The former emperor was incompetent,
426
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,250
and Prince Li was cruel.
427
00:27:52,470 --> 00:27:53,400
Only I can
428
00:27:53,990 --> 00:27:56,920
preserve the lasting peace
for the people of Taijin.
429
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,400
Duan Aodeng is a ferocious warrior.
430
00:28:02,470 --> 00:28:05,520
Even your father couldn't defeat him
at his strongest.
431
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,350
The Battle of Lucheng
432
00:28:07,710 --> 00:28:09,110
crippled the Yao State.
433
00:28:09,470 --> 00:28:10,680
The Black Armored Army
434
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,750
has almost been completely disbanded.
435
00:28:12,750 --> 00:28:14,680
If we don't strike
while they're vulnerable,
436
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:15,540
when they have
437
00:28:15,540 --> 00:28:17,060
regained their strength
438
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,590
and rebuilt their forces,
439
00:28:18,590 --> 00:28:20,710
it'll truly be a disaster for Taijin.
440
00:28:31,890 --> 00:28:32,950
As your general...
441
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,960
I'll not fail Your Majesty's trust.
442
00:28:42,750 --> 00:28:43,950
I'll attack Yao State
443
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,500
and annihilate...
444
00:28:47,930 --> 00:28:49,090
Prince Annan.
445
00:29:12,300 --> 00:29:13,260
[Do you know]
446
00:29:14,710 --> 00:29:16,550
[whom you actually set free?]
447
00:29:17,130 --> 00:29:19,780
He is the younger brother
of Yao State's former ruler,
448
00:29:19,780 --> 00:29:20,500
Prince Annan,
449
00:29:20,500 --> 00:29:21,590
Duan Aodeng.
450
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:51,880
Do you know
451
00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:54,060
who our enemy is?
452
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,890
He is the man in black
who helped us defeat the Yao Army,
453
00:30:57,890 --> 00:30:58,640
Jin'an,
454
00:30:59,220 --> 00:31:01,270
who is also Prince Annan of Yao State,
455
00:31:01,550 --> 00:31:02,550
Duan Aodeng.
456
00:31:04,830 --> 00:31:06,830
You can't forget his past kindness.
457
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:08,720
But personal gratitude
458
00:31:09,830 --> 00:31:11,900
can't outweigh national vengeance!
459
00:31:12,990 --> 00:31:14,470
Capture and execute him.
460
00:31:15,710 --> 00:31:17,470
Show no mercy!
461
00:31:17,590 --> 00:31:18,440
Understood?
462
00:31:18,540 --> 00:31:19,350
Understood!
463
00:31:19,750 --> 00:31:20,680
Understood?
464
00:31:20,830 --> 00:31:21,780
Understood!
465
00:31:27,540 --> 00:31:28,830
Move out!
466
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,600
Kill! Kill! Kill!
467
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,060
Kill! Kill! Kill!
468
00:31:37,060 --> 00:31:40,020
Kill!
469
00:31:43,710 --> 00:31:44,680
Your Majesties,
470
00:31:43,750 --> 00:31:46,030
{\an8}[Chongzheng Hall]
471
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:45,350
we've received
472
00:31:45,350 --> 00:31:46,470
news from the border.
473
00:31:46,470 --> 00:31:48,300
Taijin has mobilized its army.
474
00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:48,960
Within 5 days,
475
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:49,590
they will
476
00:31:49,590 --> 00:31:50,850
reach Qingchuan City.
477
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,500
The situation is critical.
478
00:31:52,500 --> 00:31:53,680
Your Majesties,
479
00:31:53,830 --> 00:31:56,500
a decision to fight or to negotiate
must be made.
480
00:31:57,020 --> 00:31:58,490
What does everyone think?
481
00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:00,750
Your Majesties,
482
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,110
Taijin is coming in full force
483
00:32:02,110 --> 00:32:03,160
this time.
484
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,230
Our army has been severely weakened
485
00:32:05,230 --> 00:32:06,470
after suffering heavy casualties
486
00:32:06,470 --> 00:32:07,540
in the battles at Lucheng.
487
00:32:07,540 --> 00:32:08,440
I believe we should
488
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:09,830
reopen peace negotiations
489
00:32:09,830 --> 00:32:11,300
to avoid more bloodshed.
490
00:32:11,830 --> 00:32:13,660
That is too naive.
491
00:32:13,780 --> 00:32:15,020
Previous peace talks have failed.
492
00:32:15,020 --> 00:32:16,260
Bringing it up again
493
00:32:16,710 --> 00:32:18,760
would not only damage Yao's dignity,
494
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:19,710
but it's also
495
00:32:20,300 --> 00:32:22,240
unlikely that Taijin would agree.
496
00:32:22,350 --> 00:32:23,160
Instead...
497
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,020
Please order an evacuation
498
00:32:27,020 --> 00:32:28,960
to leave Qingchuan empty, Your Majesty.
499
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:29,710
Then,
500
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,110
our people will be safe,
501
00:32:31,110 --> 00:32:32,260
while Taijin will get the city
502
00:32:32,260 --> 00:32:33,780
and withdraw their troops.
503
00:32:33,780 --> 00:32:35,390
It's the best of both worlds.
504
00:32:37,270 --> 00:32:39,270
Prince Annan, why are you laughing?
505
00:32:40,060 --> 00:32:41,680
Surrendering before fighting?
506
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:42,940
Isn't that ludicrous?
507
00:32:43,110 --> 00:32:44,750
Since they've started this war,
508
00:32:44,750 --> 00:32:47,830
how could they be content with
such a small gesture of weakness?
509
00:32:47,830 --> 00:32:48,880
This battle
510
00:32:49,860 --> 00:32:51,140
must be fought.
511
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,200
You make it sound so easy, Prince Annan.
512
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,400
If we hadn't lost the Battle of Lucheng,
513
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,210
we wouldn't be
in such a passive position now.
514
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,200
What was lost on the battlefield
515
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,280
must be reclaimed on the battlefield.
516
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:18,640
Your Majesty,
517
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,440
I request to personally lead the army
518
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,090
and vow to drive Taijin forces
519
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,710
back beyond our borders.
520
00:33:25,230 --> 00:33:25,780
I wish to
521
00:33:25,780 --> 00:33:27,960
follow Prince Annan into battle.
522
00:33:28,830 --> 00:33:29,970
I second the motion.
523
00:33:30,300 --> 00:33:31,470
I wish to join Prince Annan!
524
00:33:31,470 --> 00:33:33,160
I wish to join as well.
525
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:33,920
I wish to
526
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,180
follow Prince Annan into battle as well.
527
00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:37,880
Me too!
528
00:33:45,830 --> 00:33:47,090
This is a grave matter.
529
00:33:47,500 --> 00:33:48,920
If anything goes wrong,
530
00:33:49,230 --> 00:33:51,080
could you bear the consequences?
531
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,960
I hereby make a military pledge:
532
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:55,460
If we lose this battle,
533
00:33:57,230 --> 00:33:58,400
I'll offer my head.
534
00:34:00,350 --> 00:34:02,320
Your Highness is
535
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:03,970
truly a valiant warrior.
536
00:34:04,500 --> 00:34:05,970
Then, as you've proposed,
537
00:34:06,350 --> 00:34:08,360
I appoint you General of the Cavalry
538
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,650
to lead troops against the enemy.
539
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,260
As you command,
540
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:14,760
Your Majesty.
541
00:34:48,130 --> 00:34:48,980
Prince Annan.
542
00:35:04,170 --> 00:35:05,130
Is that woman
543
00:35:06,150 --> 00:35:07,760
the female general from Taijin,
544
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:08,480
Li Shuang?
545
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:10,320
Yes, Prince Annan,
546
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:11,250
that is correct.
547
00:35:11,340 --> 00:35:12,590
However, her father is
548
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,880
the General of Cavalry of Taijin,
549
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:16,010
Li Wei.
550
00:35:17,590 --> 00:35:20,190
The Li family owes Yao a blood debt.
551
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:23,940
It's time they repay it today.
552
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:46,800
[Jin'an.]
553
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,940
I'm Prince Annan of Yao State,
554
00:35:56,050 --> 00:35:57,260
Duan Aodeng.
555
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,690
When you're in the depths of hell,
556
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,360
don't forget my name.
557
00:36:02,590 --> 00:36:04,800
Have you really forgotten everything?
558
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:07,030
Forget?
559
00:36:09,260 --> 00:36:11,000
National and familial grudges
560
00:36:11,610 --> 00:36:12,940
can never be forgotten.
561
00:36:18,550 --> 00:36:19,940
If that's the case,
562
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:22,780
everything from the past,
563
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,510
be it love or hatred,
564
00:36:26,900 --> 00:36:28,570
ends here.
565
00:36:30,050 --> 00:36:31,380
Prepare to die!
566
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,150
As the lauded female general,
567
00:36:50,150 --> 00:36:51,460
is this all you've got?
568
00:36:51,460 --> 00:36:53,110
The battle flag still stands;
569
00:36:53,110 --> 00:36:54,630
victory is not yet decided!
570
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:20,030
[Oh no!]
571
00:37:20,050 --> 00:37:20,880
[It's an ambush!]
572
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:21,630
Luo Teng,
573
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:22,400
retreat!
574
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,090
Retreat!
575
00:37:25,110 --> 00:37:25,760
General!
576
00:37:34,190 --> 00:37:34,710
General!
577
00:37:34,710 --> 00:37:35,280
Ji Ran!
578
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:35,690
General!
579
00:37:35,690 --> 00:37:36,510
Let's go!
580
00:37:44,590 --> 00:37:45,030
Go!
581
00:37:45,030 --> 00:37:46,110
General!
582
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:47,360
General!
583
00:38:05,260 --> 00:38:06,070
Prince Annan.
584
00:38:06,230 --> 00:38:07,630
The Taijin Army has fled.
585
00:38:07,670 --> 00:38:08,980
Why don't we pursue them
586
00:38:08,980 --> 00:38:10,510
to capture them all at once?
587
00:38:13,190 --> 00:38:14,030
We have her.
588
00:38:15,190 --> 00:38:16,190
It's enough.38170
