Drink up.

Anyway, how could alcohol relieve anxiety?

Problem still has to be solved.

Once I think of

Shen Tingzhang and his son are still in the prison,

I can't feel at ease.

Everything has a turning point.

Look

What is this?

What?

Drawn by Lu Zhang

This is the map of Song Dynasty.

It's drawn by Lu Yuan's grandfather,

Lu Zhang.

Look.

Xin'an, Yuzhang,

Baling, Xiangyang.

These four places are the garrisons of the Black Armored Army back then.

So Wuchang...

Wuchang is in the centre of these four places,

and connected directly to Jian Kang City through the river.

If I am not wrong,

here is...

Lu Yuan's proving ground.

That's possible.

Wuchang is near Jian Kang City,

and it is also a natural proving ground.

If there was a mutiny,

they could surround Jian Kang City immediately.

Why are you staring at me?

Do you admire me from the bottom of your heart now?

You can check the direction of the ship,

get Lu Zhang's map,

know the deployment of the Black Armored Army,

and even like-minded with me.

Actually, I am...

Forget it.

As long as we can punish the sinners and uphold the justice,

the rest isn't important.

The Song of Glory

Does it mean if we can prove that

Wuchang is the place where Lu Yuan trains his troops,

General Shen and others can be saved?

Episode 12

Lu Yuan won't leave any evidence.

Unless we can lure him to lead his troops and surround Jian Kang City,

so that we can prove that he's planned to raise rebellion.

We need Tiger Tally to deploy troops.

I'm going to Lu's mansion now.

Why are you so impatient?

Can you deploy troops after stealing Tiger Tally?

Don't be anxious.

We need to come up with a good plan first.

Jian Kang City

Stop.

Routine inspection.

Release.

I heard that General Shen Tingzhang has signed the statement,

and he will be executed soon.

Seems that there's no escape for him.

Yes.

What are you doing?

General Shen will be executed soon?

Who told you this?

General Li, what should we do now?

You shall go to Shen's mansion first.

I'll go find King Peng Cheng.

Be careful, okay?

Okay.

What's wrong?

I'm still worried.

Don't worry, old man.

I'm a swordswoman.

Goodbye.

It's raining.

The rain knows me well.

I hope it rains longer,

and longer.

You're bookish.

Is that so?

Watching rainfall with you like this

is probably the happiest thing in the world.

King Peng Cheng's mansion

Li Chengxun, General of the vanguard of the Suiyuan Army

is seeking an audience with King Peng Cheng.

Li Chengxun, General of the vanguard of the Suiyuan Army

is seeking an audience with King Peng Cheng.

Inform Major Yue now.

Yes.

Your Highness,

Li Chengxun, General of the Suiyuan Army

returned to Jian Kang City without receiving an imperial order.

He's seeking an audience with King Peng Cheng

out of King Peng Cheng's mansion.

He wants to plead on behalf of Shen Tingzhang and Shen Zhi.

Your Highness,

this is a capital offense.

Are we going to ignore it?

This is called

a smart aleck.

Li Chengxun, what do you want?

I just want to see King Peng Cheng.

Returning to the capital without receiving an imperial order is a capital offense.

Do you have a death wish?

I just want to know what crime did General Shen commit?

Suiyuan Army engages in fierce battle in the north over the years.

Today's prosperity of Jian Kang City

is exchanged with the lives of General Shen and his team.

How could we become rebels now?

With these achievements,

Suiyuan Army is owned by the Shen family

but not the Liu family now.

Li Chengxun,

is there only the Shen family in your heart?

Obviously, Suiyuan Army intends to raise rebellion.

Yue Fang!

Yue Fang, don't make unfounded accusations!

-You... -King Peng Cheng arrives.

Your Highness.

Why are you here?

Your Highness, please save General Shen.

Take him away and drive him out of Jian Kang City.

Your Highness!

Your Highness, General Shen's wronged.

Your Highness can't just sit back.

If he is innocent,

Ministry of Justice will not wrong him.

General Li, please return to the north immediately.

Guards,

send General Li out of the city now.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

General Shen's wronged, Your Highness!

King Jing Ling arrives.

Greetings, Fourth Brother.

Li Chengxun pays respect to King Jing Ling.

King Jing Ling,

you did go through fire and water on the battlefield with General Shen before.

You must know him well.

General Shen is a brave and loyal man.

How would he betray the country?

Your Highness,

Li Chengxun returned to Jian Kang City without getting permission.

He shall be executed according to law!

Do you admit to your guilt?

Sixth Brother,

although Li Chengxun is reckless,

he's just worried about the military morale would be affected.

It's excusable.

I think we shall not cause more problem.

Just let him go back quickly.

As the Supervisor of Politics, you're too indulgent.

Does it mean that anyone can just

ignore the military law in the future?

We must handle this matter according to law

so that it will be a deterrent to others.

Since I can let you go when you deployed Danyang Army

without receiving imperial order,

Why can't you turn a blind eye to what is happening now?

Sixth Brother,

just put yourself in others' shoes.

Guards,

take Li Chengxun to Ministry of Justice,

and wait for decision to be issued.

Your Highness.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

The soldiers are all bitterly disappointed.

Fourth Brother,

I heard there are

some soldiers of Suiyuan Army

have returned to Jian Kang City.

They are at general's office in Anbei now.

I'll arrest them immediately and interrogate them.

Why did you all suddenly return to Jian Kang City?

We just got the news.

We heard that General Shen's wronged and is imprisoned now.

We are so worried about him.

You all have fallen into a trap.

It must be Lu Yuan deliberately leaked the news

to lure you all to Jian Kang City,

so that Suiyuan Army will be accused of rebellion.

But General Li has already gone to seek an audience with King Peng Cheng.

What?

Lady Shen, something bad happens.

What's the matter?

Lady Shen,

King Jing Ling comes together with the middle troops.

Leave now.

Take them all back.

Your Highness,

they will leave Jian Kang City immediately.

Your Highness, please let them go this time.

Suiyuan Army returned to Jian Kang City without receiving imperial order.

They shall be executed according to law.

Take them back.

Your Highness.

Li Chengxun trespassed to King Peng Cheng's mansion,

and was taken to Ministry of Justice.

Miss Shen, if you stop us from performing our duties,

please don't blame me for being rude.

Go.

Yes.

Take them back!

Your Highness, King Jing Ling is here.

You're here.

Sixth Brother,

how do you think about the case of Shen Tingzhang and his son?

They intend to raise rebellion.

Solid evidence proves that.

So how about Suiyuan Army?

They returned to the capital without receiving imperial order.

It's a capital offense.

You're always able to distinguish right from wrong.

Taking such action

isn't your style.

Do you really know me well?

Have we ever treated each other with utmost sincerity?

I don't know what I did wrong.

I didn't say you're wrong.

We can only take advantage of the current situation

after having a clear understanding of it.

Shen Tingzhang

and Suiyuan Army

defy their superior blatantly,

and fight against the imperial court.

So I had to take action.

If you have other intentions,

just tell me directly.

Don't let me speculate about your thoughts.

Fourth Brother,

I need to take those offenders of Suiyuan Army to Ministry of Justice.

I shall take my leave now.

Take them in.

-Let go of me! -Go in.

Go in.

Hurry!

Let us out.

How could you imprison us?

You these running dogs.

Suiyuan Army went through fire and water.

Today's prosperity of Jian Kang City is exchanged with our lives.

How could you imprison us?

Let us out!

Let us out!

-Open the door! -General.

Why are you here?

General.

General Shen.

General Shen.

-General. -General.

Produce arms privately?

This is clearly frame-up!

As the Supervisor of Politics, King Peng Cheng is weak and incompetent.

He even yields to Lu Yuan.

Until now,

he doesn't even dare to plead on behalf of you.

Such a chaotic court.

-Why should we be loyal to them? -General Li.

What do I usually tell you?

As generals,

we can't be flighty and short-tempered.

But you all left the north and returned to Jian Kang City

just because of a little turbulence.

What is the difference between you and a boorish fellow?

General.

If King Peng Cheng really disregarded the Shen family,

how would my son and I are still safe and sound now?

You would rather defy military law

to plead on behalf of me.

But it would only let the ill-intentioned people

to make good use of this chance

to accuse that I'm self-assured

with a strong army,

and intend to fight against the imperial court.

My life alone doesn't matter.

But it will ruin the reputation of Suiyuan Army.

Are you helping or harming the Shen family?

General, we don't mean it.

Lu Yuan's plan isn't only aimed at the Shen family,

but also to ruin

King Peng Cheng's accumulated resources.

If we aren't on our guard while taking action now,

we will ruin His Highness' plan.

General,

I'm sorry.

I should listen to Lady Shen.

Please forgive us.

Please forgive us!

King Jing Ling's mansion

Your Highness, Lady Shen is here.

Lady Shen.

What can I help you?

Are you hiding something from me?

No.

You help me to investigate the private foundry and save those craftsmen.

You despise Lu Yuan for what he has done.

But today, you insisted to arrest the generals of Suiyuan Army.

It's obvious that you're helping Lu Yuan to wipe out the upright and faithful men.

What happened during this period?

This is called act according to the situation.

Act according to the situation?

Had King Jing Ling ever yielded to the situation?

The Shen family is convicted of crime.

It's impossible to reverse the conviction.

Even King Peng Cheng can't do anything for it.

What else can I do?

I'd like to advise you that stop throwing straws against the wind,

stop being Lu Yuan's enemy.

But Lu Yuan wants to take my father and my brother's lives.

As well as the lives of dozens of people of the Shen family.

I can never give up.

I already know the location of Lu Yuan's proving ground.

As long as I can get Tiger Tally,

Lu Yuan will be convicted of rebellion.

-In this case, my father and brother... -Enough.

Can you stop talking?

You and I just met each other by chance.

Meet by chance?

Back then,

you helped me take the antidote to save my life,

and helped me go to the prison to see my father and brother.

Is everything fake?

As we're acquaintances, it's just small favour.

Moreover,

I don't want to see you sacrifice for nothing.

Your Highness.

You may leave now.

I don't want to meddle in your business in the future,

and I won't do so any more.

If this continues, when will everything ends?

If Lu Yuan can give me what I want,

I will just act according to the current situation.

That's the right path I should choose.

Right path?

Did I misjudge you?

Or you have changed?

If I can get what I want,

what's wrong if I've changed?

All right.

Let's follow our own path from now on.

I lift my drink and sing a song,

for who knows if my life is short or long?

Man's life is like the morning dew,

past days many, future days few.

The melancholy my heart begets

comes from cares I cannot forget.

Who can unravel these sorrows of mine?

I know of only one man, the God of Wine.

I know of only one man, the God of Wine.

Today, your writing looks smooth and free.

You must have made up your mind.

Yes.

Life is too short.

Why bother ourselves?

Bi Xin Wine

Let me drink this up

to congratulate you.

Miss Wan, please.

Mister, please.

In the future,

I may not come here again.

Why?

Perhaps...

I have something to do.

Let's not talk about this.

Miss Wan,

can you play another song for me?

San Jiu Tang

Senior, you are here.

Senior.

Why do you ask me to come over?

Senior,

actually we are always worried about you.

Are your feeling better now?

Don't worry.

The poison in my body's treated with antidote.

That's great. We can rest assured then.

Senior, hurry.

Senior is totally recovered.

Kong Cheng,

I still have something important to deal with.

I'll get going now.

Senior.

Stop!

You only care about the Shen family's business now, right?

Do you still remember Master, us and your mission?

It's master wants you to pass me his order?

Master wants me to tell you that

the Shen family members have become captives now.

The plan of making marriage alliance would most probably fail.

If you continued to stay with the Shen family,

it would be difficult for you to get away,

and affect the assassination.

What does it mean?

The Shen family has become an abandoned pawn.

We have to reschedule the plan.

Please tell Master that

even if we want to change the plan,

I have to solve the Shen family's problem first.

You are not the daughter of the Shen family.

Your so-called family and familial love are just nothing.

Stop fooling yourself.

Senior,

the Shen family is upright and faithful.

We all know it well.

If we use them in this way,

what is this difference between Lu Yuan and us?

Inner justice is indelible.

At this rate, you'll get yourself deeply involved in their business.

I can't sit back any more.

Lige.

Do you think you can stop me?

Senior!

Senior!

Senior,

Senior prepared this medicine to you.

Take it.

Actually, he is always worried about you.

He's spent a few days and nights to prepare this medicine.

Although this is not antidote,

it's useful to eliminate the residual poison from your body.

Senior, don't be mad at him.

Everything he did is just for your sake.

Kong Cheng, I'll get going now.

Senior, be careful.

Li Chengxun, General of the vanguard of the Suiyuan Army

entered Jian Kang City without permission together with his assistant,

and they're up to no good.

Now, all of them are imprisoned in Ministry of Justice.

Your Highness,

please pass sentence according to law.

Ministry of Justice will handle Li Chengxun's matter.

Military Protector Lu is occupied with official affairs.

Don't bother about this kind of matter.

I was ordered to attend the trial of Shen Tingzhang's case.

I think it's time to make a decision now.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Isn't Ministry of Justice interrogating them?

Your Highness,

a few days has passed.

Seems like Ministry of Justice doesn't make any progress.

Since there's no progress,

how could I make a decision for that?

Your Highness,

-Shen Tingzhang's case... -Military Protector Lu,

Between Ministry of Justice and you,

one said that there're many evidence and solid proof.

One said that there's insufficient evidence,

and time is needed for verification.

Who should I listen to?

Although Military Protector Lu was also the chief judge,

during the trial,

those craftsmen didn't testify against Shen Tingzhang.

Instead, they told on Military Protector Lu.

How should I report this to the emperor?

Let's investigate first.

I'm doing this for the sake of Military Protector Lu.

Your Highness.

Your Highness,

there's one more thing needs to be planned earlier.

This matter is very important.

It can't be delayed any more.

What is it?

Wei always intends to conquer Song.

Since Shen Tingzhang's imprisoned,

Suiyuan Army has lost its leader.

It's really unfavorable to the security of border.

An army can't lose its general for even a day.

I think

Military Protector Lu is not only brave and good at fighting,

but also good at managing the troops.

Your Highness can let Military Protector Lu take over the post of

commander of Suiyuan Army temporarily.

King Jing Ling's

suggestion is very reasonable.

I will consider it carefully.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Dear all,

it's time for His Highness to take medicine.

Let's continue the discussion tomorrow.

Please excuse us, Your Highness.

Excuse me, Your Highness.

King Jing Ling.

You shall stay.

At first, you forced me to punish Li Chengxun.

Now, you want me to pass the military power of Suiyuan Army to Lu Yuan.

What do you want?

Do you know that if Suiyuan Army is in his hands,

this whole country will be in the Lu family's hands?

The Lu family was high official,

and have made great contribution too.

Why don't you believe them?

Since ancient times, is there any high official doesn't make contribution?

Was there any rebel not a meritorious official?

Don't do anything that would disappoint me.

One day, you will understand the reason I'm doing so.

All right.

I'll wait for that day.

Please excuse me.

You know me so well.

I like this kind of color the most.

My place is cheerless.

Only this kind of color can bring out some vitality.

Aunt,

Your Highness.

Yuan is here.

It's hard to bring you two together.

How about this?

I'll ask Chunfang to prepare a few side dishes.

You two can have a nice talk here.

Your Highness,

please have a seat.

Today, I'd like to thank you

for putting in a good word for me with King Peng Cheng.

I was just judging on your own merits. You don't need to thank me.

I'll have to drink with you more then.

Your Highness, let me toast you

for being blessed.

What did you say that I'm blessed?

Your Highness is able to understand the current situation,

and distinguish friends from enemies,

as well as have a trustable aide.

Of course you're blessed.

Your Highness are adaptable to change and highly ambitious.

You work style is quite alike to Emperor Gaozu.

I only admire powerhouse.

As long as Your Highness have the intention to seize power,

I'll give my all to help you out.

You're humorous.

Seize power?

It's easier said than done.

Don't forget that

the lives of my family and I

are in your hands now.

Can't you get

my sincerity?

Sincerity?

Ren Shou Pavilion

Do you really believe King Jing Ling?

The Shen family will no longer help him.

King Peng Cheng doesn't trust him.

Plus this time,

we've added fuel to the flame.

They will fall apart real soon.

You're definitely wise.

No way.

I know Lu's mansion better than you.

My martial arts skills are better than you too.

Of course I should go.

Let's go together then.

Don't delay any more.

A banquet is held at Lu's mansion tonight.

It's a rare opportunity.

It's too late if we don't depart now.

Old man,

I'm in the martial world since I was little.

I have a lot of adventurous experiences.

For me, stealing Tiger Tally is just a trivial matter.

Besides,

getting Tiger Tally is just the beginning of defeating Lu Yuan.

There are more important plans that need you in the future.

Just leave this trivial matter to me.

I'll get this done quickly.

Wait a minute.

All right.

Let's act separately.

But you have to promise me that

if you encounter an accident, you have to protect yourself first.

Okay, old man.

Who are you?

I...

I'm sending food to His Highness.

Get lost.

Yes.

Let me toast you.

Your Highness are drunk.

Come.

Drink more.

Come.

In order to show my sincerity,

this is the Lu family's resources which had been accumulated over the years.

Jingzhou,

Wuchang.

What does this mean?

This is our armed forces,

and also our ambition.

Private soldier.

Rebellion.

Good.

You've done a good job.

My cousin,

you only prepare this for my arrival today?

Of course there's more than that.

Come in.

Greetings, King Jing Ling.

Good.

Let's drink.

You're drunk.

What is he doing recently?

Drinking and writing every day.

He's never summoned anyone.

Drink with me.

Let's go, Your Highness.

Wait a minute.

Your Highness.

Listen to me.

Put them at the same time.

One.

Two.

Three.

-Your Highness, you... -Stop it.

Keep this well.

It must be useful to you.

Someone is coming. Go.

Since we showed King Jing Ling the map of garrison,

will it be too dangerous for us?

To get something, you must give something away.

Cousin.

Cousin.

Cou...

Your Highness.

You're here. Come.

Let's drink.

Your Highness, you're drunk.

I am not drunk.

There is no wine here.

Let's drink.

-Let's drink. -All right. Let's drink.

That whoever,

Come. Let's drink together.

Old man.

Old man.

He isn't here.

Deploy Black Armored Army to Jian Kang City immediately.

Lu Yuan, Minister of Defense

I blamed you wrongly,

King Jing Ling.

To Fourth Brother

Tiger Tally is with me. Let's meet at Jian Kang City.

Silly girl.

Surround Jian Kang City isn't that simple.

-Xu Zhan. -Yes.

Go to Ministry of Justice for me.

Yes.

Your Highness, Shen Feng is here.

Your Highness.

Shen Feng.

Deploy Suiyuan Army to Jian Kang City secretly.

This matter is related to your father and brother's fates,

the future of 200,000 soldiers of Suiyuan Army,

and also the destiny of Song.

Are you brave enough?

Deploy Suiyuan Army to Jian Kang City secretly.

As long as I'm still alive,

I'll go all out for it.

Good.

I'll give you the title of Major Hu Ben.

You're indeed a brave young man from a distinguished family.

Remember,

keep it secure.

Don't ever tell anyone in Shen's mansion too.

Roger.

What's the matter?

His Highness sent me here.

Seems like everyone has a bad appetite these few days.

I specially made some hawthorn cakes.

Please try them.

Come.

Let's try.

Mother, please try it.

It tastes sweet and sour.

Not bad.

Mother is right.

Sister's cooking skill is good.

Brother will get to taste many delicious food in the future.

Mother,

since I am here,

father and brother will be just fine.

I know.

And me.

I know you all are filial.

Come.

Mother, let's eat.

We need to be in the pink of health

so that we can wait for the return of father and brother.

We can't let them worry about us, right?

Yes, mother.

We need to eat well.

Sister is right.

We are a distinguished family.

We have gone through so many hardships in life.

For the sake of your father and Zhi,

we need to eat well and live on.

Come.

Have a seat.

Zheng,

serve my husband and Zhi's portion too.

Yes, madam.

Come.

Let's eat.

Lige,

Uncle Zheng said you are looking for me.

What's the matter?

Sister Zijin,

I'd like to ask you to do me a favour.

What is it?

I need to leave here for a few days.

Please take care of the house and mother in these few days.

If mother asked about me,

just tell her that I'm meeting some friends.

I'll be back soon.

Can I know what it is?

I'm sorry that I can't tell you too much about it.

But this matter is important.

Don't worry.

Everything I do is all about saving father and brother.

Please help me to take good care of mother in these days.

And the most importantly,

keep an eye on Shen Leqing.

Don't worry.

Leave the family matters to me.

Thanks a lot.

You have to be more careful.

Don't get injured

and come back safely.

Sure.

Senior.

Kong Cheng.

Although I don't know where you are going,

we are brothers and sisters,

you must count me in if there's a mission.

Me too!

Don't you afraid that you'll get hit if master knows about this?

Of course I'm not afraid.

Silly kid.

Brother Huo.

Why are you...

It's King Jing Ling let you out?

Someone asked me to protect you.

King Jing Ling.

Go.

Let's depart now.
