Dad, don't take little brother away.

Big brother, save me.

Dad! I hate you! I hate you!

Big brother, save me.

I beg for your forgiveness 6th Prince.

6th Prince.

Jue-er, you were too rash just now.

His father caused the death of little brother.

I will remember this forever.

Thick grow the rush leaves.

Their white dew turns to frost.

He, whom I love, should be somewhere along the water.

Mother,

Mother,

Mother,

Your Majesty.

What exactly did I do wrong?

That you have to punish me like this?

You didn't do anything wrong.

It's just a pity that I've decided to confer Ling-er as Crown Prince.

and your existence...

No.

No. Ling-er is still very young.

He cannot lose his mother.

I'm begging you, Your Majesty.

It's because he's so young.

Ling-er is too reliant on you. He will not develop a stable foundation to rule the country.

Crown Prince Wei's peaceful future,

I, have thought this through carefully.

For the stability of Ling-er's throne.

You leaving first, is the best solution.

I... will remember your sacrifice.

You can rest assure and go.

Men, take Concubine Zhao out

- Give her a good barrial. - No.

No, Your Majesty, No.

- No!- Get up.

- Crown Prince.- Mother.

You cannot go.

- No, let me see Ling-er.- Mother!

Let me see Ling-er.

- Mother!- Your Majesty.

Mother!

Let me see Ling-er.

Your Majesty.

Mother! Mother!

It's your fault, because you became the Crown Prince, you've caused the death of your mother.

No!

Your Highness, drink some water.

Your Highness, did you have another nightmare.

The nightmare of seeing how mother left,

these past few years, it has never stopped.

Never stopped.

Your Highness

I've said it many times, outside the palace, call me young master.

- Yes...young master. - We've travelled for this long.

When will we get out of this desert?

We've been trapped in this desert for 7 days now.

The water we've brought has already ran out.

Then what should we do?

I've already release some severe smokes a few times.

but, up to now we still haven't seen anyone here to save us.

Young master, quickly, sit tight.

By the river bank lush reeds grow,

covered in dew white as snow;

The beauty I want to know, is somewhere along the river flow;

Wading against the running water, along a tough and windy path I go;

Swimming down the river flow, I find her right in the middle.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother. Is it you?

Have you come to save Ling-er?

Mother, mother.

Ling-er really misses you. Don't go, don't go...

Mother, mother.

Mother.

Why are you so rude.

Who told you to come near me, get away, get away.

Let go of me. Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Apologize to me, after you apologize, I'll call Xue-er to let go of you.

Dream on.

Let go of me. Let go of me.

Xue-er, quicly come back.

Are you ok little brother?

What do you want?

I want you to not move.

You've got heat stoke, I want you to drink some water.

Also, your hand is hurt, I'll help you apply some medicine.

Come.

I...just now, I thought I could smell lotus flower.

Are you talking about this lotus flower fragrance pouch? I wear it all the time.

Does it hurt? Next time don't provoke Xue-er. It'll hurt when he bites.

I've already applied our family secret medicine. You be better soon.

Take this pouch of water. To avoid you dying of thirst on your journey.

Take good care of yourself.

Why are you staring at my embroidery shoes?

Have you never seen them before?

You...what is your name?

Then what is your name?

I'm called Zhao Ling.

I'm called YunGe. Yun means white clouds and Ge menas singing.

YunGe? It's a nice sounding name.

Your a bit older than me, so I'll call you Ling GeGe.

Ling GeGe, hope we meet again.

Wait.

You... where are you going?

I'm going home.

I came out to find ingredients for my cooking.

You know how to cook?

Of course, have a look, I've searched for a whole day and night, I finally found it.

Two small rocks, what dishes can you make?

This dish is called "chicken eggs picking on rocks"

Young master,

Young, master, are you alright?

This little girl is...?

Oh no, there's a tornado. Let's firmly grasp our hands together and don't let go.

Water.

Water.

I want water. I want water.

Water.

Water.

- I want water. - Ling GeGe.

Ling GeGe.

Water.

An oasis.

Ling Gege, quickly get up.

Look, there an oasis over there.

Quick.

Who dares to drink our (Wu Lei City) water. Who?

So beautiful.

Nuoyan (means "promise").

You've came back.

Nuoyan?

Sister Fairy*, I think you've got the wrong person. (reference to very beautiful women).

I'm not the Nuoyan you know.

Sister Fairy?

You actually call me Sister Fairy.

Yes. You came out from the water and you are so beautiful.

You're just like a Fairy.

Beautiful women

all likes to lie.

What is your name?

My name is YunGe.

Yun = white clouds, Ge = singing.

Be careful.

Sister Fairy, be careful.

Stop.

Subordinate pays respect to Lady Cheng.

I see you are hungry and tired.

It's not certain if these couple of days there'll be any big sand storms.

Why don't you stay in the Wu Lei City and be our guest.

Wait until the sand storm has passed, then leave the city.

OK, thank you Sister Fairy.

Timing & subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki

Have you discovered, the mud statues inside the city

seems like a boy and girl couple.

Further, they look like couples who are deeply in love.

Good girl.

Cheers.

Wifey. The dishes that you make are so delicious.

Eat a bit more if it tastes good.

She is definitely Nuoyan. That little slut.

You've finally returned.

I will not let you off.

This ball is so pretty.

If you like it, I'll buy it from them.

Quick, return the ball to me.

How dare you. You are not kneeling to the 6th Prince.

This is my ball, I'm not selling it to anyone.

Little brother, we only came here to avoid the sand storm.

Is there anywhere fun to play?

What a coincidence.

We're just passing by too, Lady Cheng has invited us to stay and perform.

We're so lucky to have met.

If you want to play, go have a look in the Wu Lei Temple.

Every night, there's some good music coming out of there.

Really, where is it?

Head out of that door, turn left, keep going and you're there.

Thank you. Ling Gege, quick let's go.

Brother Yue Sheng.

Where are you going?

I'm also going to the Wu Lei Temple to play, I'll be back after I play for a bit.

This way please.

Little brother, come, I'll toast to you.

Lady Cheng, my young master is young and doesn't have tolerance to alcohol.

It's best that I drink in place of my young master.

Although his martial art is not weak, yet he guards and protects these two kids all day.

I'll have to find a way.

Merely drinking wine, can't satisfy the heart.

Brother Zhao, how about the two of us play guess riddles.

Who guesses wrong will be punished.

Lady Cheng, this is not my specialty.

Uncle Zhao, don't worry, you have he two of us to help you.

That's right.

Listen carefully Brother Zhao.

A square field, each section is sold for a dollar.

Guess, something edible.

A square field...

also can be sold for a dollar?

Is this thing invented by Han Gaozu's grandchild, Liu An, the King of Huainan

by combining gesso and soya-bean milk?

I've got it, it's tofu.

The two of you kids have read too many books, so don't understand that when watching a chess game, no speaking.

Consider I've lost, I'll punish myself a bowl of wine.

Ling Gege, has Uncle Zhao drank too much?

Uncle Zhao hasn't drank to his hearts content for such a long time.

It's fine.

It's that little kid.

Master Ban's Kong-Fu is fantastic, it's really opened up our eyes.

I'm just being a bit bold, I also want everyone to play with the axe,

to make the Lady Cheng happy, I wonder if you will give me this chance,

- This...- Master Ban

This girl is my special guest, do as she wishes.

Seeing as Lady Cheng has said so, I will obey.

Thanks you Maser Ban.

Then can I ask Master Ban if you can do me a small favour.

No problems. Please tell me.

Let the kid who's up there down, in exchange you go up there.

This... this... Lad Cheng.

- Do as what Yunge said. - Yes.

This... this... this... no way, Lady Cheng, you cannot do this.

Lady Cheng, no Lady Cheng.

You can't .

Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao.

That's strange, ordinarily Uncle Zhao won't get drunk.

But today, how can he be so drunk.

Ling Gege what's going on?

Don't be afraid, let's go outside.

That scream seems like it came from in there.

Could it be that kid that went missing that day?

Yunge! Where are you?

Yunge!

Yunge! Yunge!

Help. Ling Gege.

- Don't move. - Save me.- Seriously.

- Yunge.- Let me go.

Yunge.

Quick, get up. Quick, run.

Yunge.

Yunge, where are you. Yunge.

Yunge, where are you?

Little brother.

In the middle of the night, you're not sleeping. What do you want coming to Wu Lei Temple.

We heard someone scream.

Scream? Wu Lei Temple is ordinarily peaceful .

Why would there be screaming.

Yunge has gone missing inside. You dare to say it's peaceful inside.

There's definitely a thief hiding inside.

A load of crap. You're pretending to be thief to catch a thief.

You've come to my Wu Lei Temple with the intention to steal.

Don't accuse a good person.

Men, detain the thief.

Lady Cheng!

Please forgive me Lady Cheng, I've drank too much, I've bungle things up.

I haven't taken good care of my young master, so he go lost and ended up here.

If we've caused any offense, please Lady Cheng, forgive us.

Not everyone can come as they want into my Wu Lei Temple.

In the middle of the night, he intrudes and makes a racket, with an apology, you want me to forget it?

You're lying with your eyes open. You set this up and captured Yunge.

What evidence do you have?

Lady Cheng, forgive me for being rude.

Even if what the child saw was a mistaken, you should at least let him search the once.

If he's to return empty handed, it'll be the only way he'll be sincerely convinced.

Fine... I'll let you be sincerely convinced.

Uncle Zhao. Look, these mud statues.

all of their poses are so pitiful.

That's strange, just now there was some sort of mechanism.

Otherwise why would Yunge go missing.

As I see it, the child has played too happily during the day

at night, have nightmares.

Treat a nightmare as real, is also a common thing.

Yunge, Yunge! Where are you?

Young master...young master, looks like we have falsely accused Lady Cheng.

It's deep in the night, we should return early to rest.

Looks like Brother Zhao is sensible.

I'm not leaving. I want to find Yunge.

We'll talk outside.

Look.

They truly did capture Miss Yun. Don't know what's their intentions.

They have many people and they all know martial arts.

We've got the power of one plus the strength of a child, and we're not familiar with the environment inside.

It's not suitable to fight recklessly with them.

Then how are we to save Yunge. Quickly think of a solution.

I'm also worried about Miss Yun.

But I cannot let young master continually take risks.

The only solution is to "abandon the car to protect the commander in chief".Escort young master as quickly as possible away.

When we get to a safe place, then send solders to save Miss Yunge.

What lousy solution is that?

Your Highness, please look at the bigger picture.

I can't even save a little girl.

What right do I have to be Your Highness.

If you want to leave, you leave. If Yunge doesn't come back, I'm not leaving.

Where are you two running to?

Quick run.

Don't think about running.

Quick run Yunge.

Quick run. Quick run.

Quick run. Quick run.

Yunge, quick run.

I'm going to kill you both.

Quick.

Quick.

Let's separate. I'll lead them away.

I'm going.

Over there. Chase... quick.

Timing & subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki

Yunge, come out.

Do like to hear stories.

Let me tell you a story .

Ai Yong and I, we were deeply in love.

Until one day, I saved a girl in the desert.

Her name is Nuoyan.

She was extremely lively and lovable.

Ai Yong and I both really liked her.

We treat her like our real sister.

Who would have known, after Nuoyan grew up.

She became more and more beautiful.

Ai Yong unexpectedly fell in love with Nuoyan, that slut.

I will definitely love you dearly.

The first time you saw me.

You called my Fairy Sister.

If you saw the other side of my face.

Would you be scared by my face?

You'll be exactly like my husband. Complain that I'm ugly!

My tear drops,

have already dried up crying for Ai Yong.

Ai Yong did not die.

He has always been by my side.

Nuoyan.

was originally a small girl.

as she grew up each day

has caused my man to lose his soul. Which caused the tragedy you see today.

As long as you don't grow up, you won't cause harm to people.

I want you to stay here forever

Then my Ai Yong, will never ever be lonely.

Stop. You again.

- Where is Yunge? - Charge.

Be careful young master.

Quick run young master.

Put this little red dot on

you are Nuoyan.

Like this, you won't be able to harm anyone.

Yunge.

Ling Gege.

Ling Gege. Don't harm Ling Gege.

Look at you, you're exactly like Nuoyan.

You haven't even grown up, yet a boy can put up a life-and-death fight for you.

Don't harm Yunge.

Don't be impatient, in a moment

I'll push you in too.

No, no, don't hurt Yunge.

Don't...

- Yunge.- Let me down.

Yunge!

- Let me go.- Let me go.

- Yunge.- No.

Kid, did you see me young master?

He should be inside.

- Let me go!- No!

Le me down.

- Help... let me down.- Uncle Zhao.

Quick, charge.

Young master, quick run. I'll block them here.

Ling Gege, are you ok?

Let's go.

Retreat.

You're simply here to fight and kill,

you don't care about your precious mud statues?

You...what did you do to those mud statues?

What else can I do? Of course I can only return them to their original form.

Turn them into sands of the desert.

Especially the one you love the most.

No... my Ai Yong... my husband...You...

Go.

Go...

No!

Ai Yong. Ai Yong!

Ai Yong, Ai Yong.

Don't be afraid, Ai Yong. Don't be afraid.

I will be with you forever.

We will be together forever.

We will be together forever. Ai Yong.

Ai Yong.

Ai Yong.

Fairy Sister.

Fairy Sister.

Fairy Sister.

Fairy Sister.

Fairy Sister. Fairy Sister.

Fairy Sister.

Yunge.

Ling Gege, I thought I'd never see you again.

She's in fact very pitiful. To save her husband, she's trapped by the fire.

Like that, she'll be burnt to death by the fire. Let's go save her.

You can't go.

otherwise she'll kill you both.

But... but...

There's not buts. The fire's about to reach here. We better quickly run.

Otherwise, we'll die here.

- Quick run. - Yunge, let's go.

Sister Fairy.

Sister Fairy.

Quick run.

Quick run. Quick run.

Young master, it's me. Quick, follow me.

Come, be careful.

- Quick.- Yunge, come.

- Everything's fine. - Uncle Zhao, wait a second.

The other kid has not gotten in the cart.

Come.

Quick, get in.

Let's go.

It's only a minor wound.

I'll also help you clean your wounds.

My life is worthless.

you should go take care of that young master.

Don't water.

Uncle Zhao, you're roasting meat?

- I'll help you roast.- Ok.

So fragrant.

His got a strange temperament.

Ling Gege, thanks for coming to save me.

Otherwise, I would have turned into a lonely mud statue.

Silly, if you turned into a mud statue, you'll still have me to accompany you.

you won't be lonely.

Ling Gege, you are so sweet to me.

Can you smell the fragrant flavours?

Let's go.

- It smells great. - Hungry?

When can we eat?

Soon, just wait a bit and you can eat.

Kid, thanks for saving us.

Until now, I still don't know your name.

Yes, I also haven't asked you for your name.

I'm called...

I'm called, Qiusheng (means: seek survival)

Quisheng?

It's a very unique name.

Yes, it's bestowed to me by the Old Emperor who died.

The common people live through suffering, can only seek survival.

That is my name.

The late Emperor has passed away, please don't speak ill of him.

The old Emperor only cares about war, he doesn't care if the common people have food to eat.

Poor people truly cannot survive. Can only go and steal, grab and swindle.

I lost my family, it's all because of him.

My journey from the West. I've seen a lot of what you've just said.

But I promise, in a few years, the common peoples lives will turn for the better.

Don't forget what you've just said.

The meat has finished roasting. I'm about to starve to death.

Ok, come and eat.

Ling Gege, come.

Good morning Ling Gege.

Did I wake you?

Where's Qiusheng?

Uncle Zhao

Uncle Zhao, where Qiusheng? Why is he missing.

Qiusheng's leaving. Don't forget your promise to take care of the common people.

Young master, that kid called Quisheng.

Looks familiar. I have an impression...

but I can't think of when I've seen him before.

He doesn't have any family, now he doesn't have his variety show group. How will he live?

Don't worry, even though that kid is full of worries, but he's smart.

Survival of the fittest, he should be able to find a way.

Timing & subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki

We've finally arrived safely.

We'll pitch camp now, tomorrow we'll go back.

Yes.

Yunge, after tonight, we'll have to say our goodbyes.

Keep telling me stories, about your specialty dishes.

Ok, we'll talk the whole night and not sleep.

Yuge, when you play the jade flute

your hand should go this side.

Can you go to the barracks and tell them, come tomorrow morning.

Yes.

Young master, Miss Yunge, please be careful.

Yunge, I want to keep you by my side.

That way I can see you when ever I want.

Are you willing to follow me to Chang'an?

My mother has never let my brother or I go to the middle plains.

Why?

I also don't know, so long as I can remember

my mother will keeps giving me sincere advice about this.

Every time I ask my mother, she'll stop me from asking her.

She said when I grow up, when the opportunity comes, she'll tell me.

But my dad said, daughters are like small eagles, will fly away.

When I grow up, I will come to Chang'an to find you.

Ok, then I will wait for you in Chang'an.

Let's make a pinkie promise.

What pinkie promise?

How can you not even know what a pinkie promise is?

I'll teach you, come.

pinkie promise,100 years will never change.

Whoever changes will be a piglet.

When you smile, it's so lovely, even lovelier than the stars above.

When you get to the gates of Chang'an, show this to the guards on duty, then you'll be able to find me.

It's so unique. It looks lovely.

This is my mothers. before she left that night,

Pulled out the stings. Used her own hair to make this rope.

made this locket to give to me.

I never thought

this will be her last present she gave me.

This is from your mother, I cannot take it.

If you are afraid that I won't be able to find you.

Then, then give me the jade hanging on your waist.

This hair locket, although it's my most cherish possession.

But there are times I don't want to see it.

This hair locket presses opens up my wounds, constantly I can't control my spirit.

As for this jade

This jade is from my father.

I hate it myself.

How can I let you take it.

Ling Gege... you...

This hair locket looks good on you. Listen to me, take it.

Then I should return with a gift.

You don't need to give me anything, I won't forget you.

That won't do. My daddy always say "it's impolite not to reciprocate"

That's right, when we first met, you kept staring at my embroiled shoes.

Like you really like it. How about I give you one shoe.

Yunge, do you know the meaning for a girl to give a boy a shoe?(Yunge doesn't know, but it means a promise to marry him)

Ok, then I'll take it, you'll have to remember.

Daddy has told me the meaning of a promise.

This is my promise, I will definitely keep it.

When I grow up, I will come fine you. You have to wait for me.

Ok, then let the stars be our witness, we absolutely won't break our promise.

Let the stars be our witness, absolutely won't break our promise.

Ling Gege, ever since I was small, I always like following my mom move abouts in the kitchen.

Wait until we meet again, I will make that specialty dish I've been telling you about.

Ok, but now I want to hear you sing a song.

Ok, then I'll sing you my favourite song.

By the river bank lush reeds grow, covered in dew white as snow;

The beauty I want to know, is somewhere along the river flow;

Wading against the running water, along a tough and windy path I go;

Swimming down the river flow, I find her right in the middle.

I really like hearing this song.

I really like it.

You sing it so well.

Really, if you like it, I'll continue singing it.

By the river bank dense reeds flourish, covered in dew so fresh;

covered in dew so fresh;

Wading against the running water, a tough and strenuous path I pick...

Yunge, sleep.

I will play my flute for you.

It sound so good.

Ling Gege.

Ling Gege.

Ling Gege!

Ling Gege. Ling Gege.

Ling Gege. You scared me to death. I thought you didn't say good bye and left.

I'm almost crying, you here smiling.

Yunge, I have to go.

- It's my family's eagle. - Is it.

Yunge, where are you? Brother is waiting for you in the small town.

My mom and my brother are coming to bring me home.

I also ought to go.

Don't cry, we've already made plans to meet in Chang'an.

Yunge, remember what Ling Gege is saying.

Parting is the beginning of our reunion.

Today's parting is for the future's meeting.

I'll remember Ling Gege.

Smile once so Ling Gege can see.

Ling Gege, when I'm not with you, you also need to smile.

Every day when I see you sleep, you're frowning.

Like that, you won't sleep well.

Don't worry, in future I will smile more.

- I won't make you worry. - Don't lie to me.

I will never ever lie to you.

Young master, we ought to be on our journey.

Ling Gege.

Yunge, Zhao is my mother's last name.

In Chang'an, my last name is Liu

I'll remember, in Chang'an your last name is Liu.

Yunge, you have to take care.

You take care too. We will meet again.

I will think of you. We will meet again soon.

Don't forget about me.
