1
00:00:16,390 --> 00:00:17,920
Just as Your Highness suspected,

2
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:18,870
there is indeed a mysterious person

3
00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:20,870
who is not on the delegation's list.

4
00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:32,670
Plus,

5
00:00:32,670 --> 00:00:34,670
with several experts
protecting the Eagle King,

6
00:00:34,670 --> 00:00:36,600
it's hard for us to force our way in.

7
00:00:37,350 --> 00:00:39,710
What has the Eagle King been doing
these past few days?

8
00:00:39,710 --> 00:00:40,710
Nothing unusual.

9
00:00:41,470 --> 00:00:43,110
The officials of the Ministry of Rites
took them to visit

10
00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:44,380
the East and West Markets.

11
00:00:44,380 --> 00:00:45,150
They also went to the martial arts arena

12
00:00:45,150 --> 00:00:46,840
to train the Northern Qin warriors
in horseback archery.

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:47,470
Should we

14
00:00:47,470 --> 00:00:49,320
find a time when the Eagle King is away

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,840
to force that mysterious person out?

16
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,880
But if he's determined not to come out,

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:53,940
how do we force him?

18
00:00:57,390 --> 00:00:59,720
The delegation didn't bring many people.

19
00:01:00,070 --> 00:01:01,600
And during
the mounted archery tournament,

20
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,330
the Eagle King will definitely

21
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,960
send his three strongest fighters.

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,840
If you think about it,

23
00:01:08,030 --> 00:01:09,510
that's when security at the Honglu Temple

24
00:01:09,510 --> 00:01:11,430
will be at its weakest.

25
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,150
Do you mean

26
00:01:13,950 --> 00:01:15,210
creating a diversion?

27
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,840
No. We strike while they're distracted.

28
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:20,710
However,

29
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,610
we still need one more pawn
to make it work.

Sister Yuanji,

75
00:06:54,430 --> 00:06:58,490
you were the one who asked someone
to invite the Dowager Princess, right?

76
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,360
Why did you help Anmin?

77
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,250
Because we are friends.

78
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,080
Friends?

79
00:07:12,750 --> 00:07:13,430
Friends.

80
00:07:14,830 --> 00:07:16,090
Don't misunderstand.

81
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,890
He is not my sweetheart.

82
00:07:18,270 --> 00:07:19,670
Neither is His Highness.

83
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,510
Between men and women in this world,

84
00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:23,310
there is not only romantic love.

85
00:07:23,750 --> 00:07:25,190
There can also be camaraderie

86
00:07:25,190 --> 00:07:26,450
and close friendship.

87
00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:28,130
I appreciate Xiao Yao,

88
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,890
just as I appreciate Xiao Wuyi.

89
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,750
But neither of them is romantic love.

90
00:07:31,750 --> 00:07:34,159
Is there any difference between the two?

91
00:07:34,750 --> 00:07:36,240
Friends and confidants

92
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:37,600
can share joys

93
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,600
and sorrows.

94
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:40,560
But couples

95
00:07:40,590 --> 00:07:42,990
must become each other's joys and sorrows.

96
00:07:43,950 --> 00:07:44,800
My husband

97
00:07:46,510 --> 00:07:48,110
has been gone for a long time.

98
00:07:49,980 --> 00:07:50,620
Sister,

99
00:07:50,950 --> 00:07:51,950
I always feel that

100
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,270
Xiao Wuyi didn't kill

101
00:07:53,270 --> 00:07:54,630
your Mr. Runheng.

102
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:55,830
How do you know?

103
00:07:56,870 --> 00:07:58,800
Just like how the Dowager Princess

104
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,000
didn't want Anmin
to go to the battlefield,

105
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,190
Xiao Wuyi doesn't seem to care

106
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:03,600
about what others think of him.

107
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,480
He just focuses on his own business.

108
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:06,950
So if you want to know the truth,

109
00:08:06,950 --> 00:08:08,390
you might as well ask him directly.

110
00:08:08,390 --> 00:08:09,800
It's true that he acts ruthlessly,

111
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,510
but he is definitely magnanimous.

112
00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:13,750
Jiayu, how could I not know?

113
00:08:14,230 --> 00:08:15,710
But the truth for me

114
00:08:15,750 --> 00:08:17,150
might be even more cruel.

115
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,360
Xiao Wuyi's silence

116
00:08:19,630 --> 00:08:21,160
is exactly his generosity.

117
00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:25,130
Isn't that just letting good people
suffer in silence?

118
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,240
General Xiao, how is it?

119
00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:13,680
Greetings, Your Highness.

120
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,000
I didn't expect you to be here.

121
00:09:17,870 --> 00:09:20,120
I have had doubts in my heart for years.

122
00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:22,920
Today, after being reminded by Jiayu,

123
00:09:23,550 --> 00:09:25,240
I would like you to clear my doubts.

124
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:26,030
What doubts?

125
00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:29,200
Why did you send people
to find Pei Runheng

126
00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:31,480
back then?

127
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,550
Go get the envelope

128
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,910
in the second drawer
of the cabinet next to my desk.

129
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:38,440
Yes.

130
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,720
I originally wanted to
send someone to tell him

131
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,320
that this engagement
was only for provisions.

132
00:09:49,390 --> 00:09:50,650
When the time is right,

133
00:09:51,150 --> 00:09:52,410
I will grant your wish.

134
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,900
Unfortunately, I was a step too late.

135
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:09,020
Thank you, Your Highness.

136
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:10,870
Thank you.

137
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:12,480
Wait.

138
00:10:13,510 --> 00:10:14,510
You just said

139
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,000
that you were reminded by Jiayu?

140
00:10:19,670 --> 00:10:20,440
She said

141
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,840
that concealing this matter

142
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,660
and refusing to seek the truth

143
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,010
means letting good people
suffer in silence.

144
00:10:28,510 --> 00:10:30,630
Who doesn't she think is a good person?

145
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:32,960
Jiayu is pure-hearted,

146
00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:35,090
yet possesses great wisdom.

147
00:10:35,090 --> 00:10:36,120
In the court,

148
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,150
great treachery resembles loyalty,

149
00:10:37,150 --> 00:10:38,200
and vice versa.

150
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,630
You and Jiayu

151
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,320
seem to be poles apart,

152
00:10:42,510 --> 00:10:43,200
but in fact,

153
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,180
you are fellow travelers.

154
00:10:56,910 --> 00:11:00,000
Couples must become
each other's joys and sorrows.

155
00:11:03,270 --> 00:11:03,870
My Lady,

156
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,760
what are you thinking about?

157
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,510
Sister Yuanji said

158
00:11:11,230 --> 00:11:12,380
that friends and confidants

159
00:11:12,380 --> 00:11:13,910
can share joys and sorrows.

160
00:11:14,030 --> 00:11:15,360
But couples...

161
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,020
They must become
each other's joys and sorrows.

162
00:11:18,510 --> 00:11:19,710
I didn't understand.

163
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,600
Do you understand what it means?

164
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,960
I grew up by your side.

165
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:26,000
The only husband and wife I've ever seen

166
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,060
are the Princess and the Grand Tutor.

167
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,120
But now they both...

168
00:11:31,030 --> 00:11:32,320
I really don't know.

169
00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:33,720
Mother said

170
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,910
that couples should be fellow travelers.

171
00:11:35,910 --> 00:11:37,200
Sister Yuanji said

172
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,600
that couples should become
each other's joys and sorrows.

173
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:40,870
I understand the joys,

174
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,600
but why the sorrows?

175
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,790
When two people are together,

176
00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:46,550
isn't happiness the most important thing?

177
00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:48,200
There are hundreds of
kinds of people in this world,

178
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,070
so there are hundreds of kinds of couples.

179
00:11:50,070 --> 00:11:52,000
You don't need to care about others.

180
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,440
You just need to ask yourself

181
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,910
who you want to be with.

182
00:11:55,390 --> 00:11:56,320
You're right.

183
00:11:56,820 --> 00:11:58,350
Why am I overthinking this?

184
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,300
I already have Mao anyway.

185
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:01,670
Time to sleep.

186
00:12:08,630 --> 00:12:11,120
Wake up.

187
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,150
Long ago, when we set out,

188
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:15,610
the willows were swaying.

189
00:12:15,750 --> 00:12:16,960
It means

190
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,840
recalling the time of going to war,

191
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,170
when the willows were swaying in the wind.

192
00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:35,150
Yao, do you have anything to say?

193
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,800
Do you have to let Anmin enter the arena?

194
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,960
Can you guarantee he will be safe?

195
00:13:01,790 --> 00:13:04,100
Isn't it enough
that one of my sons died for you?

196
00:13:04,100 --> 00:13:06,220
Do you want my other son's life too?

197
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,380
Xiao Sheng's death

198
00:13:09,150 --> 00:13:10,030
is on me.

199
00:13:10,630 --> 00:13:11,760
But Anmin's tragedy

200
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,460
was half to protect me,

201
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
and the other half

202
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,850
was because of your cowardice.

203
00:13:21,790 --> 00:13:22,550
Mother!

204
00:13:23,270 --> 00:13:24,480
Dragging out an ignoble existence
is not truly living.

205
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,390
Shut up!

206
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,530
All these years,

207
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:31,810
I chose to remain silent

208
00:13:32,870 --> 00:13:33,870
because I thought it would be

209
00:13:33,870 --> 00:13:35,600
better for both Mother and Yao.

210
00:13:35,750 --> 00:13:37,630
But now, seeing him in such pain,

211
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,450
I can no longer sit by and watch.

212
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:41,550
Father.

213
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:43,120
Mother.

214
00:13:44,060 --> 00:13:44,700
This time,

215
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,860
can we let Yao do what he wants?

216
00:13:47,550 --> 00:13:48,950
If I cannot keep him safe,

217
00:13:49,390 --> 00:13:51,450
you can punish me however you see fit.

218
00:14:13,970 --> 00:14:15,740
[The Day of the Horseback Archery Contest]

219
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,630
The hairstyle I combed for you

220
00:14:27,630 --> 00:14:29,360
is the Meteor Holding the Moon.

221
00:14:29,790 --> 00:14:32,270
It means Your Majesty shines like a star.

222
00:14:32,790 --> 00:14:34,050
Meteors fade quickly.

223
00:14:34,510 --> 00:14:35,720
Are you cursing me?

224
00:14:38,950 --> 00:14:39,880
I wouldn't dare.

225
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:40,880
Your Majesty!

226
00:14:42,670 --> 00:14:43,630
Something terrible has happened.

227
00:14:43,630 --> 00:14:44,750
What is it now?

228
00:14:44,750 --> 00:14:46,790
News just came from the martial arts arena

229
00:14:46,790 --> 00:14:48,600
that Xiao Wuyi didn't go today.

230
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,600
Instead, the eldest young master,
Xiao Yao, went.

231
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,000
What was Xiao Wuyi doing?

232
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,320
I don't know either.

233
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,790
I sent many people to look for him,

234
00:14:55,790 --> 00:14:57,250
but there is no news at all.

235
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,320
I don't know what

236
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,620
Xiao Wuyi is up to.

237
00:15:00,150 --> 00:15:01,320
What a pity.

238
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,860
The poisoned arrow was prepared for him.

239
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,790
If he had come today,

240
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,130
he would have lost his life.

241
00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:12,790
But he managed to escape.

242
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,670
But his brother, Xiao Yao,

243
00:15:15,670 --> 00:15:17,870
injured his leg for him last time,

244
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,750
and now he's risking his life
for him again.

245
00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:24,720
General Feng,

246
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,200
what should we do?

247
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,320
How should I know?

248
00:15:27,790 --> 00:15:29,910
The assembly drum
has already sounded three times.

249
00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:31,200
Why isn't His Highness here yet?

250
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,510
We've already sent people to look for him,

251
00:15:32,510 --> 00:15:33,870
but he's nowhere to be found.

252
00:15:33,870 --> 00:15:34,870
What should we do?

253
00:15:35,510 --> 00:15:37,970
Young Master Yao,
where is the Crown Prince?

254
00:15:42,270 --> 00:15:44,600
The Crown Prince's arrow
wound relapsed this morning.

255
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,270
Today, at the martial arts arena,

256
00:15:46,270 --> 00:15:48,120
I, Xiao Yao,

257
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,600
will lead you all to victory.

258
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,840
That brat from the Beifu Army
doesn't even dare face us!

259
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,300
A flattering court lackey

260
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,790
should keep his head down

261
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,390
and cling to scraps.

262
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,720
An insignificant general like him

263
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,200
is as good as dead today.

264
00:16:01,390 --> 00:16:07,270
Great!

265
00:16:07,510 --> 00:16:09,030
The Eagle King is saying this
to the Crown Prince.

266
00:16:09,030 --> 00:16:11,030
If the Crown Prince doesn't show up,

267
00:16:11,030 --> 00:16:12,690
then only Young Master Yao...

268
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:14,720
You don't trust me?

269
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,120
I... I will go find the Crown Prince.

270
00:16:23,410 --> 00:16:25,000
The military command is here.

271
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,530
Beifu Army, heed the order.

272
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,260
Those who don't obey the order
will be executed!

273
00:16:30,510 --> 00:16:31,080
Yes.

274
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,720
Xiao Yao, Left Wing Commander
of the Beifu Army,

275
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:04,960
awaits the Eagle King.

276
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:10,440
Great!

277
00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:12,810
Where is Xiao Wuyi?

278
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:13,920
He won't come.

279
00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:16,400
Your opponent is me.

280
00:17:18,310 --> 00:17:19,109
That's right.

281
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,829
A crippled wretch—yes, me.

282
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,880
But today,

283
00:17:24,510 --> 00:17:26,000
I'll

284
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,270
compete with you!

285
00:17:28,550 --> 00:17:31,110
I don't fight crippled opponents.

286
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,240
Go back and prepare to collect
Xiao Wuyi's corpse.

287
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:39,980
What did you do to Wuyi?

288
00:17:40,350 --> 00:17:41,550
Then go ask him.

289
00:17:42,830 --> 00:17:43,960
But at this moment,

290
00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:46,480
you probably won't have time to ask him.

291
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,940
Xiao Wuyi sent you to fight

292
00:17:48,110 --> 00:17:51,350
just to spy on the diplomatic delegation
at Honglu Temple, right?

293
00:17:51,350 --> 00:17:52,830
But today's Honglu Temple

294
00:17:52,860 --> 00:17:55,190
has already set up a trap for him.

295
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,640
Today, not only Xiao Wuyi,

296
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,400
but also the students he incited

297
00:18:15,590 --> 00:18:17,110
will be buried with him.

298
00:18:17,510 --> 00:18:19,110
The match begins.

299
00:18:33,510 --> 00:18:35,550
The poison is lethal
upon contact with blood.

300
00:18:35,550 --> 00:18:37,750
The Eagle King is indeed the Eagle King.

301
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,530
What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?

302
00:18:52,350 --> 00:18:53,000
What?

303
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:55,400
No way.

304
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,400
I have to replace those arrows.

305
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,510
Brother, let me go change them.

306
00:19:00,030 --> 00:19:00,830
I have a way.

307
00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:04,680
What's going on?

308
00:19:05,510 --> 00:19:06,750
As long as this poison touches blood,

309
00:19:06,750 --> 00:19:07,750
death is certain.

310
00:19:08,510 --> 00:19:10,570
But Xiao Yao shows no reaction at all.

311
00:19:29,590 --> 00:19:30,240
Da!

312
00:19:52,030 --> 00:19:54,160
Great! Young Master Yao is incredible!

313
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,310
Heroic!

314
00:19:55,590 --> 00:19:58,160
Young Master Yao has been raised
in Jiankang for many years.

315
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,820
His martial arts
must have been ruined long ago.

316
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:01,610
Cut the crap.

317
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:06,520
Watch out!

318
00:20:18,270 --> 00:20:20,440
If you want to defeat
the Northern Qin cavalry,

319
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:21,510
there's only one secret—

320
00:20:21,510 --> 00:20:22,240
courage.

321
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,020
Fearless courage.

322
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,590
Save him quickly!

323
00:20:44,590 --> 00:20:45,160
Quick!

324
00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:46,720
Over here, quick!

325
00:20:47,510 --> 00:20:48,480
A tie!

326
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:50,640
A tie.

327
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,030
I didn't lose.

328
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,860
Young Master Yao, hold on.

329
00:21:00,590 --> 00:21:01,440
Where is the medical officer?

330
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:02,790
Medical officer, come take a look!

331
00:21:02,790 --> 00:21:03,270
Hurry up.

332
00:21:03,270 --> 00:21:04,350
The weaklings of Southern Ye

333
00:21:04,350 --> 00:21:05,750
have no one to fight!

334
00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:07,750
Lose!

335
00:21:17,590 --> 00:21:19,720
Your Majesty, if I am to claim victory,

336
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:21,440
I shall do so with honor.

337
00:21:22,070 --> 00:21:23,870
There is no need for you to worry.

338
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:29,350
You...

339
00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:34,800
Who's there?

340
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,880
I am a maid
from the Empress Dowager's palace.

341
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,010
I'm here to bring food
to His Highness.

342
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,540
You are here to throw yourself at me,
aren't you?

343
00:21:58,030 --> 00:21:58,680
No.

344
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,260
You are here to ruin my grand plan.

345
00:22:03,350 --> 00:22:05,680
Let me go! I am Princess Pingning!

346
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,270
Aren't you just a maid
from the Empress Dowager's palace?

347
00:22:08,270 --> 00:22:10,920
If I strangle you right now,

348
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,260
would the Empress Dowager
ruin the peace talks for you?

349
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,830
I have heard that the Eagle King of Northern Qin
has unmatched martial arts skills.

350
00:22:18,830 --> 00:22:21,880
If you win the competition
through such despicable means,

351
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,400
history will record this,

352
00:22:23,510 --> 00:22:24,910
and you will be despised.

353
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,590
Beg me to let you go first.

354
00:22:26,790 --> 00:22:27,830
No way!

355
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,200
The arrow is broken.

356
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,160
You won't win.

357
00:22:34,750 --> 00:22:35,680
I didn't expect

358
00:22:35,790 --> 00:22:37,480
the weak and useless Prince Qi

359
00:22:37,590 --> 00:22:38,640
to have such a

360
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:39,880
courageous sister.

361
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:42,480
Interesting.

362
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,200
Are you going to kill me or not?

363
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,070
If not, I'm leaving.

364
00:23:10,110 --> 00:23:11,110
Hurry up! Hold on!

365
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,070
Hold on!

366
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,070
Your Majesty, I have sent
many people to search for him.

367
00:23:21,270 --> 00:23:22,270
At Honglu Temple,

368
00:23:22,270 --> 00:23:24,270
we only saw those rioting students,

369
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,070
but we didn't see Young Lord Xiao.

370
00:23:26,070 --> 00:23:28,240
And no one knows where Young Lord Xiao

371
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,270
went.

372
00:23:32,590 --> 00:23:34,360
Your Majesty, I cannot accept a draw.

373
00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:35,270
If we can't find Young Lord Xiao,

374
00:23:35,270 --> 00:23:36,510
we will fight
the Northern Qin people to the death.

375
00:23:36,510 --> 00:23:37,240
Who dares?

376
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,240
You want to clash directly
with Northern Qin's forces?

377
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,100
Do you still want the peace talks?

378
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,070
It was agreed that the match would
decide the fate of three border states.

379
00:23:44,070 --> 00:23:45,200
If we break the treaty ourselves,

380
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,860
where is the dignity of our Ye?

381
00:23:48,310 --> 00:23:50,910
Your Majesty,
are we just going to endure this?

382
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,000
We tried our best,

383
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,460
but it only ended in a draw.

384
00:23:55,270 --> 00:23:56,400
For this situation,

385
00:23:57,030 --> 00:23:59,030
isn't Xiao Wuyi asking for it?

386
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,960
He pushed the peace talks
despite public opinion,

387
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,240
accepted today's battle,

388
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,400
and then ran away without permission,

389
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,880
leaving this mess to me

390
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,140
and all the ministers.

391
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,240
Such trash

392
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,070
still wants to promote
the Beifu Restructuring?

393
00:24:12,070 --> 00:24:13,350
Wishful thinking.

394
00:24:13,590 --> 00:24:15,320
Xiao Wuyi would never run away.

395
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,070
He Tian, send more people
to search for him.

396
00:24:18,070 --> 00:24:19,670
We must find Young Lord Xiao.

397
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:21,540
Today's battle

398
00:24:21,790 --> 00:24:23,520
is to protect the dignity of Ye.

399
00:24:23,550 --> 00:24:25,080
Your Majesty can sit still,

400
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,270
but I cannot.

401
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:30,270
Sons of Ye,

402
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,290
those who dare to fight,

403
00:24:32,550 --> 00:24:33,350
follow me!

404
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:34,540
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

405
00:24:36,550 --> 00:24:37,610
We are not open yet.

406
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,510
Three taels of chrysanthemum.

407
00:24:42,510 --> 00:24:45,170
Two catties of
sweet bamboo shoots are missing.

408
00:24:46,750 --> 00:24:47,880
Greetings, My Lord.

409
00:24:49,110 --> 00:24:51,160
The 36 secret agents in Jiankang City

410
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,110
are all here today.

411
00:24:52,110 --> 00:24:53,510
Once the Eagle King wins,

412
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,830
we'll distribute the newly written stories

413
00:24:55,830 --> 00:24:57,230
to all major bookstores.

414
00:24:57,270 --> 00:25:01,270
I guarantee it will disrupt the morale
of Southern Ye within three days.

415
00:25:01,550 --> 00:25:02,400
This is the draft.

416
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,930
Please take a look, My Lord.

417
00:25:08,210 --> 00:25:10,100
Why is Xiao Wuyi covered in sores

418
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,180
and sporting a full beard?

419
00:25:12,350 --> 00:25:14,720
These eyes, this nose...

420
00:25:16,310 --> 00:25:17,830
Which artist drew this?

421
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:19,570
Who exactly are you?

422
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:23,920
Take a good look.

423
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,960
You drew me way too ugly.

424
00:25:26,310 --> 00:25:28,110
You are the legendary Xiao Wuyi?

425
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:29,540
Over the years,

426
00:25:30,030 --> 00:25:31,270
the rumors about the Beifu Army—
looting, raping,

427
00:25:31,270 --> 00:25:33,510
using war for merit, destroying fields,
and massacring cities

428
00:25:33,510 --> 00:25:35,510
as well as classified military intelligence
from the court

429
00:25:35,510 --> 00:25:38,240
and information from spies
in Prince Jing'an's Mansion,

430
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,300
were all spread by you, weren't they?

431
00:25:40,510 --> 00:25:41,510
I'll kill you!

432
00:25:44,110 --> 00:25:44,970
Your Highness,

433
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,550
the vegetable market is under control.

434
00:25:47,550 --> 00:25:50,200
The scholars have been safely evacuated
from the Honglu Temple.

435
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:50,880
However,

436
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,720
news just came from
the martial arts arena.

437
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:53,440
Da was shot.

438
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,750
Young Master Yao
traded his life for another.

439
00:25:55,750 --> 00:25:57,400
He fought with the Eagle King
on horseback, fell off,

440
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,790
and was severely injured.

441
00:25:58,790 --> 00:26:01,830
Prince Qi is sending people everywhere
to look for you.

442
00:26:01,830 --> 00:26:03,350
How is the public sentiment?

443
00:26:03,350 --> 00:26:04,350
They are furious

444
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,230
and completely unwilling to reconcile
with Northern Qin.

445
00:26:07,230 --> 00:26:09,230
This is exactly the effect I wanted.

446
00:26:10,070 --> 00:26:10,720
Let's go.

447
00:26:11,350 --> 00:26:12,270
Avenge Yao.

448
00:26:14,270 --> 00:26:15,070
Eagle King,

449
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,330
I will compete with you.

450
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,480

he gave Ye a generous gift.

472
00:27:30,270 --> 00:27:31,720

Zhai Shang, rebelled.

483
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,590
You did all that!

484
00:27:49,790 --> 00:27:50,640
Naturally, it was me.

486
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,590

so I sent him a terrain map.

488
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:57,400
If your Northern Qin

489
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,000
refuses to sit down and talk,

490
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,770
you will definitely face a two-front war.

491

we must decide a winner.

497
00:28:10,350 --> 00:28:11,750
Let's have a tiebreaker.

498
00:28:12,510 --> 00:28:13,110

Wait a minute.

Xiao Wuyi,

506
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,640
the Eagle King has already participated in
one round of competition.

507
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,270
He has already used up his strength.

508
00:29:28,270 --> 00:29:29,590
If you compete like this,

509
00:29:29,590 --> 00:29:30,910
it will be too unfair.

510
00:29:31,790 --> 00:29:33,650
If we win under these conditions,

511
00:29:33,910 --> 00:29:36,040
Northern Qin will refuse to accept it.

512
00:29:41,070 --> 00:29:41,680

00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:49,400
Exactly.

00:39:40,670 --> 00:39:41,440
what is that?

621
00:39:43,670 --> 00:39:46,230
I've been learning lightness skills
from Yan Yue lately.

622
00:39:46,230 --> 00:39:48,070
Every morning I wear these sandbags

623
00:39:48,070 --> 00:39:50,000
to train at the martial arts arena.

624

But you used to be the laziest,

625
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:53,880

626
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,540

00:40:01,510 --> 00:40:03,310
But he was right about one thing.

630
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:04,670
If you want to play with fire,

631
00:40:04,670 --> 00:40:06,230
you have to learn how to escape first.

632
00:40:06,230 --> 00:40:07,880
Since I want to travel the world,

633
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,080
I not only need money,

634
00:40:09,230 --> 00:40:11,760
but also some martial arts
to protect myself.

635
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:15,360
Silly.

636
00:40:16,190 --> 00:40:17,250
I will protect you.

637
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,000
You don't need to learn these things.

638
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,530
And I won't let you get hurt.

639
00:40:20,550 --> 00:40:21,680
How could that work?

640
00:40:22,030 --> 00:40:23,670
I have to rely on myself
when I'm away from home.

641
00:40:23,670 --> 00:40:25,670
How can I rely on you for everything?

642
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,060
Today, you and Wuyi

643
00:40:29,230 --> 00:40:30,890
worked really well together.

644
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,400
I didn't expect you to learn
how to use war drums.

645
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,360
You gave him that sleeve arrow too, right?

646
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:36,590
Yes. How was it?

647
00:40:36,590 --> 00:40:38,050
Didn't I look impressive?

648
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,820
Not to mention my excellent craftsmanship.

649
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:43,680
Today was so satisfying.

650
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:46,760
But you always used to say

651
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,550
that battlefields are lawless,

652
00:40:48,550 --> 00:40:49,840
and that you hated killing the most.

653
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,840
Isn't peace the most important thing?

654
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,510
But the Eagle King brought the fight
to our doorstep.

655
00:40:53,510 --> 00:40:54,920
How could I tolerate that?

656
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,670
Besides, the day the Eagle King
entered the city,

657
00:40:56,670 --> 00:40:59,130
weren't you and the students
indignant too?

658
00:40:59,300 --> 00:41:00,480
Fortunately, today,

659
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,280
Xiao Wuyi rooted out
the Northern Qin spies,

660
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:03,800
reclaimed the three prefectures,

661
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,000
and vented our anger.

662
00:41:06,230 --> 00:41:08,630
Sometimes fists really are the only truth.

663
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,530
That saying is really true.

664
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,110
I even designed a sword for Xiao Wuyi,

665
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,630
one no less impressive
than the Longque Blade.

666
00:41:15,630 --> 00:41:16,550
A man like him

667
00:41:17,110 --> 00:41:19,170
deserves the best sword in the world.

668
00:41:20,550 --> 00:41:21,550
But don't you feel

669
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:23,320
today all of us

670
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:24,440
were used by Wuyi?

671
00:41:25,150 --> 00:41:27,360
In this battle, he not only won back
the three prefectures,

672
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:28,960
but the prestige
he gained from turning the tide

673
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,800
also laid the foundation for his future reform
of the Northern Prefecture.

674
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,440
He was the one who sought peace talks,

675
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,900
and he is the one
who won the people's hearts.

676
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,000
But is there anything wrong with that?

677
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,600
A person with the ability
and will to protect Ye

678
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,200
deserves such prestige.

679
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:46,110
I thought

680
00:41:46,630 --> 00:41:49,230
you liked people
who stay aloof from the world.

681
00:41:50,550 --> 00:41:52,550
I do like staying aloof from the world,

682
00:41:52,550 --> 00:41:54,030
but I can choose not to fight

683
00:41:54,030 --> 00:41:56,490
because someone
is already fighting for me.

684
00:41:59,590 --> 00:42:00,480
Then what if

685
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:03,760
I want to fight too?
