[The Wolf]

[Episode 35]

Imperial Father,

the princess will be here soon,

but there's no news of Juyao yet.

Announcing the arrival of the princess!

Begin the ceremony!

Wait!

I, Li Juyao, am a sinful soldier.

I went missing in action for seven years, an unpardonable crime indeed.

I am here to ask for my due punishment!

What wrong have you done?

First, I spoke brashly and angered the general.

Second, I was uncontrollable and disobedient.

Third, I suspected the general; an unforgivable crime.

Fourth, I created dissent amongst the troops.

Fifth, I spread harmful rumors.

Your list of wrongdoings is inexhaustible indeed.

I feel embarrassed to face you now, My King.

But Taiyuan City is my home.

My family is here.

It has been seven years since I left.

I would really love to come back.

I beg you to take account of a son's

longing towards his father and lighten my punishment

so I may use the rest of my life to redeem myself.

Father, please forgive Juyao.

Your Highness, please let the prince return.

Your Highness, please let the prince come back.

Redeem yourself?

You wish.

If you do not agree,

I shall kneel here forever.

Today is the princess's coronation.

And you're going to kneel here forever?

How are you admitting to your mistakes?

You are threatening me!

I dare not.

I just want to ask for Imperial Father's forgiveness.

Get up.

You brat.

Thank you for your forgiveness, Imperial Father.

From now on,

I will listen to everything you say.

You will not see any trace of rebellion from me!

Congratulations to both of you for settling your differences.

This is a true blessing for the Kingdom of Jin.

The fact that I've reconciled with the king

and that the troops are united is all because of the princess.

The Kingdom of Jin shall win every war under the princess's leadership!

My sincerest greetings to the princess!

My sincerest greetings, Your Highness!

Your Highness, long live the princess!

Master,

today the king didn't gather the marquises in the hall.

Instead, he went to the Bo Army's training grounds.

His Majesty is trying to avoid the marquises' questions by using military training as an excuse.

Can Lord Bo awaken in time to save him?

Lord Bo,

the king and ministers are all waiting for you.

Please wake up.

Your Majesty,

Marquis Han and Minister Cui request an audience.

Bring them in.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Please rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

My dear officials.

Look at this.

What do you think of their training today?

At this rate, do you think we can invade Taiyuan?

Your Majesty,

these soldiers are the best fighters around.

Their capabilities are unparalleled.

Invading Taiyuan is not impossible,

but these brave soldiers all belong to the Bo Army.

I was thinking that if we were to unleash all their potential,

why don't we get Lord Bo to demonstrate

and let us witness his majestic presence?

Marquis Han,

Lord Bo is still not here yet.

So the answer is obvious.

Looks like Lord Bo has indeed been killed by the Princess of Jin.

Now we should be sharing the king's burdens.

You have a point, Minister Cui.

Lord Bo is akin to the god of war.

However, since he cannot lead the troops to war now,

if our troops do wage war with Jin now,

I'm afraid the result would be...

Would be what?

I'd love to listen to your advice.

I have brought prisoners of war from Jin.

Men!

Bring the Jin prisoners of war here!

Halt!

Your Majesty, if we release these prisoners back to Jin,

I'm sure their king can feel our sincerity

and declare a truce with us.

I don't understand what you mean.

Minister Cui,

if we send these prisoners back,

what would the king of Jin feel about my intentions?

He would feel that we would like to peacefully divide the lands equally.

Minister Cui,

how dare you stir the military's resolve before the war?

- What punishment does that entail? - Lord Bo!

To war!

To war!

- To war! - To war!

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Rise.

Thank you, Imperial Father.

War is impending,

yet you talk about a truce.

Marquis Han,

you are a military leader, too.

What punishment befits someone who stirs our resolve?

The death penalty.

Marquis Han.

Yes, Your Highness.

If we were to send the prisoners back, we can.

But there is one condition.

They have to defeat Lord Bo.

Marquis Han, the king has spoken.

Release them now and arm them with weapons!

I have left home for many years. I have made you worry.

I shall drink three cups of wine as punishment.

Juyao, you're intoxicating yourself.

Father won't hold on to past grudges.

Who said I won't?

He only came back because of the princess.

- Fa– - She also made him understand me.

As his father, I am nothing to this brat compared to the princess.

But despite dedicating so much to her, this brat still hasn't won her heart yet.

You are absolutely right, Your Majesty.

I thought the young prince was a natural charmer,

taking after the king himself.

But it looks like he falls short behind the king when you were young.

This brat is much worse than I was.

Father, I'm just being gentle.

Besides, Zhaixing has no time for romance now.

I can't force her, can I?

And I thought you'd studied The Art of War.

Winning a lady's heart is the same as battling in a war.

You have to be swift, decisive, and precise.

Strike while she's unprepared, do what is unexpected.

It's an age-old adage.

Got it?

But, Imperial Father,

Zhaixing is still not ready to welcome a new relationship now.

I can't just strike while she's weak.

Excuses.

You're just scared of failing.

She may have rejected your feelings, but are you giving up like that?

No. I am confident.

I will love only Zhaixing in this life.

Since you are so confident, why do you fear being rejected?

It should motivate you instead.

Love and war are the same.

Juyao,

this is my first time seeing you so invested in a lad, too.

In fact, you don't look like the person I once knew.

You brat,

despite the odds, you brought the princess back to Taiyuan.

At first, even I had no high hopes for her.

But you believed in her.

In the end, she did live up to everyone's hopes

and made me see her strengths as a woman

and determination that supersedes that of men.

Ma Zhaixing is a legendary woman indeed.

Unfortunately, legendary women

are often cursed with ill fates and tragic experiences.

Even if I have to risk my life,

I will protect Zhaixing from any harm.

You should tell that to the princess, not us.

Imperial Father,

I'm worried that if Zhaixing and I do become an item,

malicious rumors might spread.

When did you become so fearful of everything?

If what you do is right and just,

why should you fear rumors?

Since your love is sincere, go ahead.

I support you,

but I have a condition.

You must succeed and not fail.

Father, here's to you!

Here.

You look like me the most when I was young.

I have high hopes for you.

The king has ordered Ji Chong to lead the Chuanlong Army again.

- Ye Han. - Yes, Your Highness.

From today onward, the Ma Family Army will work under the Prince of Chuan.

It's an order.

Yes, Your Highness.

Young Feudal Mistress,

don't tell me your homecoming gift for Prince of Chuan is to let him lead the Ma Family Army?

Don't you think it's too unexciting?

What are you saying?

I guarantee that this gift is what Ji Chong needs.

Ever since we came to Jin, if he hadn't helped us,

I might not have survived till now.

That's why.

Young Feudal Mistress, the gift you're sending should be something he wants,

not something he needs.

And what's that?

Your heart.

Your Highness, can't you see it?

The prince is downright in love with you.

Even Ye Han can see that.

Right?

You...

Your Highness, even a rough guy like me can see that.

You saw it, right?

By the way, Young Feudal Mistress,

doesn't the prince have a promissory note from you?

But Ji Chong doesn't want money.

And now, how can I give him any good memories?

How about this?

Prepare a blank promissory note for Ji Chong.

Let him choose what memory he wants, shall we?

Come on.

Sit down.

Just prepare a blank promissory note and let him decide what he wants from you.

He can write it here, and you'll just need to sign.

Zhaixing!

Coming.

General Li, come in.

Your Highness, the prince is here.

He's here.

Ji Chong.

Ma Jing. Strategist Ma.

I have something to tell the princess.

Please leave.

Yes, Your Highness.

- Let's go. - Make it up to him.

Today is the day you reconciled with your father.

I thought you'd drink till daybreak.

Ji Chong.

Ji...

Ji–

I have something important to tell you.

I'll listen.

Please get off first.

- Get off! - No!

I have let you off once.

But I just couldn't leave.

When you knew Lord Bo was Wolf Boy,

I kept my distance away from you.

But who'd know...

that after all the twists and turns,

you still returned right back here to me.

♫ Not gentle, cannot be sad, you don’t need to understand ♫

♫ A hundred years later, a thousand years later, I will be waiting here ♫

I'm sorry.

I don't want to hear you say sorry.

I want...

♫ Not gentle, cannot be sad, you don’t need to understand ♫

You!

♫ A hundred years later, a thousand years later ♫

Zhaixing...

Why am I in Zhaixing's chamber?

Promissory note - Creditor: Ji Chong, Debtor- Ma Zhaixing

Your Highness! Your Highness!

Your Highness! Calm down, Your Highness!

- Ji Chong! - Your Highness! Your Highness!

- Zhaixing! - Calm down.

What are you doing?

Calm down!

Your Highness, calm down!

Don't hurt yourself, Your Highness!

- Careful with the knife! - What's this?

Don't hurt yourself.

The sight of him makes my blood boil.

I can't calm down!

- Stop, stop, stop! - Your Highness.

Even a dying prisoner deserves to know what he has done wrong.

I only slept on your bed.

Must I die because of that?

To think you're still coming up with nonsense.

The whole kingdom knows that you have been here the whole night.

Show some sincerity, will you?

- Show some sincerity! - Let go of me!

Your Highness, calm down!

- Zhaixing! - Your Highness.

Prince, if you really love the princess, we will give you our blessings.

Congratulations.

Stop spouting nonsense!

No, we're not.

- Your Highness. - Think back on what you'd done!

I want...

Stop!

I've remembered what happened last night.

Since it was me who tarnished your reputation,

all the more you can't kill me.

Unless you want to erase all evidence of your debt by killing me so that you don't have to pay me back.

Your Highness.

Ma Zhaixing.

[On the day we defeat Yang, I, Ma Zhaixing will travel with you to the ends of the earth. Wherever you go, I follow.]

I've signed my name on the promissory note you prepared last night.

I want you to travel around

and explore the world with me.

If you regret your decision,

you can tear this now.

- Your Highness! - Don't tear it!

You're a princess! You can't go back on your word!

Who says I'm tearing it?

Ma Zhaixing,

have you thought it through?

Since you've promised me,

I will never let you go again.

I've never thought of breaking my promise to you.

She said yes, Strategist Ma!

She said yes!

She did!

Today is the day you reclaim the Chuanlong Army.

You will be meeting the king soon.

You should go back and prepare now.

Okay, as you wish.

Let's go!

She said yes!

Your Highness, you've really promised the prince, haven't you?

This is great!

I'm so happy now!

Your Highness, I think the prince is much better than that Bo–

Boring, disloyal men...

Right, Brother?

This is great!

Brother!

This is great, Brother!

The promise is true,

but we need to defeat Lord Bo first

and win the war before I can realize it.

The king has ordered.

We will wage war against Jin soon.

Everyone must serve the kingdom now.

Any stored food in households will be confiscated for military use.

All adult men must serve in the army.

Transgressors will be prosecuted!

Let go of me!

Mother!

- Mother! - Let go of my son!

I've won.

Fourth Brother,

I've brought your favorite persimmons.

Look, it's a persimmon.

When you were young, you often said,

persimmons (shi zi) sounded like four sons (si zi).

That's why persimmons

represent us four siblings.

In the past, when I set out for war with Big Brother,

you would tell Father that persimmons are round.

And that's why we brothers

should stay together.

Fourth Brother,

I'm so sorry.

I couldn't save Big Brother.

Now, I've caused you to sink into this state.

We will wage war against Jin tomorrow.

Don't worry.

I will end this

very soon to come back and keep you company.

I won't leave you alone here.

Why are you standing here?

Why aren't you inside the chamber, caring for the prince?

Your Highness, Lord Bo is here to visit Fourth Prince.

We were told to leave.

Only Youzhen's illness can motivate Lord Bo to battle.

It's good that he's here.

Open the door.

Yes, Your Highness.

Greetings, Imperial Father.

Persimmons?

This was Youzhen's favorite food when he was a boy.

But ever since Youyu died in the war,

he never touched them again.

Now, out of my four sons,

only you have survived the treacherous attacks.

In the end, you're the only one left.

Don't worry, Imperial Father.

Big Brother was a hero when he was alive

and a legend even now.

He will protect me from Heaven

so I can take my revenge until I die.

Lord Bo,

I can feel your blood thirst and fighting spirit now.

Truly exceptional.

I also know

what you told Youzhen in this room just now.

Your bloodlust is different from that of the past.

You can't even conceal it.

It gave you away.

I also know that

you plan to risk everything,

including your life to avenge Youzhen.

Then,

take your burning spirit with you

and decimate both the Ma Family Army and the Jin Army.

Lord Bo, don't forget.

You still owe your eldest brother a life.

Now, Fourth Prince has turned into a vegetable for you.

Lord Bo,

only by winning this war and killing the princess of the previous dynasty can you answer to your brothers.

Yes, Father.

Youzhen.

Youzhen.

Youzhen, it's your father.

I'm here with you.

Wake up.

Youzhen.

- Yao Ji. - Yes, Your Highness.

Quick! Examine his pulse now!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Father, just now, when I was alone with him, I noticed his fingers moving slightly.

I think he's getting better.

His hands are moving?

Then, he will wake up very soon, right, Yao Ji?

Your Majesty,

the prince's pulse was restless just now, but it has calmed.

But judging from his reaction when he saw the persimmon,

I suggest that when you visit him in the future,

you can talk to him or show him some of his favorite things.

This may help him recover soon.

I will do exactly what you said.

Your Majesty, we have received an urgent report.

Speak.

The rebel, Wang Rong, has seized Boxiang City.

The fools have finally taken the bait.

It's time for me to wipe those beasts out now.

Let's go!

Wait for me.

Let's go!

Even before Wang Rong seized Boxiang,

I have sent hundreds of elite soldiers to conceal themselves among the commoners.

When I invade later, once I sound the call,

these soldiers will respond and ruin the enemy's plan.

Since we will be aided from the inside, Boxiang City will soon become hell for the enemy.

You go ahead first with the primary army.

I will back you up personally and march towards Weizhou city together.

The seal, please.

Receive the seal.

Kill the enemy and win the war.

I will lead my soldiers to Boxiang City tomorrow morning.

[Suyang]

I heard Ma Zhaixing and her company have reached Boxiang City to defend the city.

Her? The previous dynasty's princess?

Wait till she gets her just desserts.

Yao Ji.

Yes, Your Majesty.

When Lord Bo's troops conquer Boxiang City,

we will set off to Weizhou City and supervise.

You will focus on treating Youzhen.

Yes, Your Majesty.

[Boxiang City]

Our scouts have reported that Lord Bo has deployed his troops.

This is exactly what our king had expected.

My old dad has foreseen that judging from how crazy Chu Kui can be,

as long as we strike first and win a battle, we can enrage him into attacking us.
