[The Wolf]

[Episode 34] It's not a solution to hand over

your military power.

You're at your wit's end now!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Princess!

The Ma Troop, Jin's Prince,

and also Assistant General Zhou,

they

are fighting now.

That's bad!

She has already handed over the military seal

to the King of Jin.

Stop talking nonsense

in front of me!

Listen!

The Ma Troop doesn't accept division of the troop.

Yes!

We'll only follow the Ma Troop to death.

Are you defying the order?

Let the King of Jin lead the Ma Troop!

No way!

Strategist Ma.

Princess Ma has already handed over the military seal.

From now on,

the Ma Troop

has to obey my order.

Can't you recognise

this military seal?

If Crown Prince insists to divide the troop,

then I'll leave the Ma Troop!

We'll only follow Strategist Ma to death!

We'll only follow Strategist Ma to death!

Strategist Ma!

We'll only follow Strategist Ma to death!

Princess.

Strategist Ma.

I've already decided

to hand over the military power to be executed by the King of Jin.

I hope Strategist Ma

won't disappoint me.

I don't mean to put Princess in trouble.

I do this just because

all of us in the Ma Troop

have once vowed to risk our life

and always devote to General

and also Princess.

If we violate it, we will die badly.

Always devote to General and Princess!

Don't just stand there watching.

Do you have any way to help?

You really don't want to help me out?

I did have an idea.

If the Ma Troop

really have to obey the order

to join the Jin Troop,

why not you find

a general from Jin

that can convince the Ma Troop

to lead them?

Where could you find such a person?

Yes.

Who suits to the position?

Me!

How is it?

I'm not qualified for it?

No one could be more suitable than you

to lead the Ma Troop.

How do you think, Crown Prince?

First and foremost,

Ji Chong knows well of the rule of Jin.

Secondly,

he's deeply trusted by the Jin Troop

and the Ma Troop.

I believe

this would help much in avoiding conflicts in future.

This is not a trivial matter.

I will have to ask Father about it.

Sure. Without further ado,

I will go with you.

Yes, you may.

How is my acting?

There's no problem

for Princess now.

What I'm worried is

the decision

of the King of Jin.

The old man

couldn't disagree with it.

This is the only way now.

Moreover, this is just a

temporary countermeasure for him.

Once the Ma Troop becomes weaker,

he will kick me off at anytime

without any loss caused to him.

All right.

Let him

manage the joint troop matter.

Hand over the marshal seal to him.

Definitely, Ju Yao is the best person

for this condition.

But

don't you worry that

he's playing tricks on us?

I'm waiting for him

to reveal his tricks.

Didn't you notice his attitude

while welcoming me just now?

He's the greatest obstacle that fails our plan

in making Ma Zhai Xing to have no position.

So we have to wait until he reveals himself.

And I will have enough reason

to pull him down.

I understand now.

Father, you're actually setting a trap to catch him

by being lenient to him now.

Princess of the previous dynasty attends in person.

It's impossible that Chu Kui doesn't do anything.

We must eliminate all the internal obstacles

as soon as possible,

making the Jin's power

to become great and respectable.

And get ready to encounter

the Bo Troop at anytime.

Zi Shen, go and take water.

Yes.

Master, water is here.

Zi Shen, don't get near.

Zi Shen, run!

Close the door!

Colonel Yang.

Yes, I'm here.

How long will the troop from every state

take to arrive the palace?

Your Majesty,

the troops from every state

are on their way now.

Wang Rong and Han Qing

will reach the capital to meet Your Majesty

in three to five days.

But...

Don't hesitate.

Just tell it.

There are rumours spread by the states

at the same time

saying that the appearing

of Princess of the previous dynasty

fails Third Prince's plan to borrow the troop.

And also, putting Fourth Prince's life at risk.

You mean

the next one who will be suffered

is me?

I dare not.

I've checked the source of rumour thoroughly.

I'll punish him to warn the others.

Report.

Report to Your Majesty.

The Zhenzhou Troop, Wang Rong revolts.

Revolt?

Wang Rong is not coming here,

but leading the troop to join the Jin troop.

This...

I've already ordered to arrest

his great-grandmother

as a hostage, wasn't it?

She has already died of illness in last month.

The servants were ordered by Wang Rong

to hide the truth.

All of them have already committed suicide today.

Your Majesty,

Princess appears.

Wang Rong revolts and joins Jin.

These make our troop to lose confidence.

What the heck!

As long as Lord Bo is here,

no one dares to revolt.

Who dares?

You're right, Your Majesty.

Once the troop arrives at the capital

and sees the chief marsal and Lord Bo,

the troop will certainly have the confidence.

What happens,

Yao Ji?

Your Majesty.

Why hasn't Lord Bo recovered his rationality?

Didn't you feed him with

the drugs that could heal him?

I did feed him with that.

But I don't know why

Lord Bo still couldn't control himself

when he woke up.

Follow me.

Wen Yan.

-Yes. -Mo Xiao.

Yes.

Keep an eye on Lord Bo.

Never spread this matter.

Yes, Your Majesty.

My Lord.

Did you try your best

to treat him?

If you dare to fool me,

I will kill you.

I'm not dare to do so.

I think you know well

of the reason

why I didn't kill you

even if you've made

great mistakes

in the past.

I know.

Your Majesty, please

allow me to go out of the palace.

I'll meet with my foster father.

Maybe he knows

why the drug is ineffective.

Zhang Jin.

Yes.

Spread my order.

Restore Yao Ji

to Lord Grand Diviner immediately.

And let her manage Grand Diviner Palace.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Thank for your grace, Your Majesty.

Yao Ji.

Wang Rong revolts and joins Jin.

There should no more accidents happen

when the leader leads the troop later.

You must

heal Lord Bo

before Han Qing leads the other troops

enter to the capital.

Otherwise, my troop

will be defeated

without Lord Bo.

I understand. I will settle this right now.

Wang Rong's troop joins Jin

[Zhenzhou Troop Leader, Wang Rong] and leaves the evil side.

This makes us to be more powerful.

Let me pay my respect to you.

It's been sometime

I disliked him.

Moreover,

he has no great-grandmother as his hostage now.

And now, there are King of Jin

and Princess of the previous dynasty now.

Like the saying goes...

Like the saying goes...

Which is...

Whoever understands the situation is an outstanding man.

You're right.

I mean that.

I've been involving in battle all the time.

I don't know much of the literary parts.

Please don't mind me

speaking directly.

Is your intention of taking Princess

as a master real?

Will you abandon her right after using?

If the later is your intention,

that means your slogan used to rope in

the others is just a fake one.

That's nothing different as Chu Kui.

You don't need to worry about that.

I've always despised Chu Kui.

I've always encouraged loyalty.

I won't do the same thing.

That's great!

I...

Then,

I'm willing to join the King of Jin

in attacking the enemy.

Come on!

Let me pay my respect to you first.

Come.

Welcome, guest.

I'll serve you tea right away.

Young marshal.

How does the thing goes?

That's all done.

I've contacted

the former subordinates of Chuanlong Troop.

I used your marshal seal

and forged a military order,

relocated everyone from the fortification team.

That's great!

After a few days,

thousand of brothers

from the Chuanlong Troop

will gather here.

I'm in charge of the joint troop and holding the marshal seal

just because of this matter.

But did you confirm that

everyone supports me

to revolt the King of Jin?

I've already passed your words to them.

Let's discuss

the time to take action.

It's not easy

to deal with the old man.

In order to fight against the King of Jin,

we have to keep invading more places

and rope into more troops now.

But we have to

gain popular support now.

Gain popular support?

Ke Lang.

I've already spread the news of

Princess's presence everywhere.

Both of you keep watching the situation.

Young marshal.

Will Princess agree to this matter?

I will let her know

how merciless the King of Jin is.

Master, aren't you going to

meet your foster father?

I remember

he's living in the outskirt of the imperial city.

You're right.

But he has returned

to the origin place of the tribe

one year ago

just to pick

the local unique herb.

If I'm not

treating Lord Bo,

I won't come back again

to this place

where makes me sad.

Master,

I heard that

your tribe was once very strong.

Why there are

only you and your foster father left now?

Where are

the others?

They passed away.

[Bo Mansion]

General Han, you travelled all the way to the capital.

You don't attend to meet the King,

but coming to the Bo Mansion instead.

Unfortunately, His Majesty gave the order

of not allowing anyone meet Lord Bo

while he's prisoned.

I heard that Princess of the previous dynasty

has shot Fourth Prince

and

poisoned Lord Bo,

causing his life

to be at risk now.

Whether he is still alive

will affect the stability

of our troop.

I must enter now

to confirm whether Lord Bo is still alive by myself.

Get away.

I'm sorry to say this.

I can understand your anxiety.

But we have to obey the imperial order.

Or you could attend yourself to the king now.

If His Majesty allows you to enter,

we won't hinder you to do so.

How dare you

order me to do that!

Duke.

Look.

That's inappropriate to slap woman.

Can you please don't make it

difficult for us?

Once the imprisonment period ends,

he'll definitely attend His Majesty.

Please wait for few days more, Duke.

I can only wait for one more day.

If I couldn't

meet Lord Bo after one day,

that means he has become a

useless person as the rumour spread.

Okay.

By the time, no one can save you.

All of you wait here.

Yes.

It seems that you really care about His Highness.

Take care, Duke.

Open the prison door.

What happens to you, Your Honor?

You look very pale.

You don't want to save Lord Bo?

Or you don't know the time is gold?

Open the prison door quickly.

When you are away,

he has been groggy

and was in intense pain.

Father,

regarding the matter of Ju Yao handling the joint troop,

it happens as you expected.

He's playing tricks on us.

He forged a military order by using the marshal seal

and relocated the old subordinates of the Chuanlong Troop

from the fortification team,

trying to expand his power.

He also spread the news

of Princess's presence everywhere,

in order to gain popular support.

It's the time now!

I've been waiting for this moment.

You lead the troop

and take him down now.

I will obey your order.

Here is...

You wanted to know

why I hate

the old man

since seven years ago, weren't you?

It's desolating here.

It seems to be a place without supervision.

If

they are attacked by the robbers or bandits

when the men are not at home,

how could all these old and weak women and kids

save themselves?

All the men in this village

were killed by that old man.

All the men in this village

were my best partners

to go through thick and thin with me on the battlefield.

Seven years ago,

I received the news

saying my mum

was seriously ill on the battlefield.

Although I was worried so much for her,

I still had to battle at the frontline.

Because I was not only

a son to my mum,

I was also a young marshal of the battalion.

I couldn't leave my obligation.

But I couldn't hide my sadness...

Young Marshal.

from the assistant general.

They noticed it.

We know you're in bad mood.

So we're here to accompany you.

Yes.

Come on. Let's drink.

Come, this is your bowl.

Come on!

Let's toast.

Pour the wine.

Come on, let's toast.

Let's toast.

Let's pay respect to Young Marshal.

Salute, Young Marshal.

Why there's no more wine?

We have it here.

Here you go.

We have many.

Give him a full bowl.

Come on, let's drink.

Drink.

Let's toast!

Great wine! Give me full bowl.

Full bowl!

Full bowl!

Come on!

Come on! Let's drink!

Let's drink!

More, please!

Don't just look!

Let's drink

and enjoy.

Great wine! Full bowl, please.

Great wine!

Let's continue.

He's drunk. Young Marshal.

Young Marshal.

Young Marshal.

No problem.

We will win for you in this battle.

Yes!

Don't worry much and head back to visit your mum.

And wait for our return with victory

at Taiyuan.

Yes, victory!

Wait for our victory!

When I woke up,

I was already at Taiyuan.

When I haven't gotten to meet with my mum for the last time,

I received the news that my troop

was attacked and caused casualties.

I could imagine

how mad was the old man,

killing all the brothers

that went through thick and thin with me.

Imperial Father, that's all my fault.

Imperial Father, please let go of them.

Their crime is not serious enough to be sentenced to death.

Imperial Father.

That's all my fault.

Imperial Father.

Please let go of them.

Imperial Father.

They were the assistant general.

They violated the military orders,

causing us to be defeated.

I'm willing to do anything.

You say, they shouldn't be sentenced to death.

Then, what about the others

who sacrificed in the battle?

What crime did they have?

Imperial Father.

Come.

Execute the punishment.

No!

No!

All of them have their families.

But they were dead because of me.

The hatred that lain in between us

is their lives.

When I think of

the dead brothers,

I could never forgive him.

What I can do now

is helping to take care of the families

of my dead brothers.

Brother Ji Chong, you are here!

-Brother Ji Chong. -Hi.

Brother Ji Chong.

Xiao Yu,

do you miss me?

How obedient you are!

Zhai Xing, look at

this kid.

He's the one who has been with me the longest.

He's the son of the assistant general.

Since the day he born,

he has never seen his dad.

But he is very similar to his dad.

He's also very optimistic.

Xiao Yu!

Xiao Yu.

Let's go.

Look!

It's been seven years already.

They still couldn't forgive me.

They don't even want to

speak a word with me.

They aren't willing to

step into Taiyuan also.

The King of Jin killed

your partners without further consideration,

causing many families to be broken.

So, that's the reason

of you leaving your home country

and becoming a bounty hunter

and earn much money.

Get away!

Surround him!

What are you doing?

Prince.

We're sorry to offend you.

We're here with the order from the King of Jin

to arrest you.

Is that because I ask the people

believe in Princess?

Princess's presence is the truth.

If you don't let them believe in that,

that means you are guilty of it.

You forged the military order

and relocated the old subordinates.

Are those considered as crimes?

Take him down!

Even though Lord Bo has taken the drugs,

he is still unconscious.

His Majesty thinks that

even if Lord Bo could awake,

he couldn't recover to its best state,

therefore he decided to take out Chixiao Sword.

Lord Bo has not awaken.

In order to make the overall situation and the troop stable,

His Majesty needs

a powerful sword in his hands.

So that General Han and the others

could remember his frightful power

and don't bear any other intentions

like Wang Rong who revolted.

All ancestors of Chu family.

I'm the ruling king now.

I can only kneel down to heaven and earth.

Therefore,

the Fourth Prince, You Zhen, is here

to kowtow to all the ancestors.

Lord Bo was

the one who could be my proud.

Unfortunately,

he has less fortune.

Thus, I'm here tonight

to take the Chixiao Sword by myself.

You Yu.

It's been many years already.

It seems that you still

couldn't forgive me, right?

You Yu.

The Chu Family's state power

has already come to an emergency state.

You still want to create a mess

and take my life?

If the Chu Family's state power is gone,

your beloved Fourth Prince

will have to sacrifice too.

Come!

Come!

Your Majesty, you're right.

Since you've brought Fourth Prince here,

First Prince dares not to against you.

Congratulation to Your Majesty

for taking back the Chixiao Sword safely.

Even if Lord Bo couldn't recover,

Your Majesty could take down those three troops as well.

Imperial Father.

Unfilial son!

Your Majesty, look at the

celestial star in the sky.

Yao Ji, what celestial phenomenon is this?

Explain to me now.

Your Majesty, it's a strange phenomenon.

These five stars reunion only happen once in

500 years.

Your Majesty is the luckiest person.

You must be able to defeat the Jin Troop

and Ma Zhai Xing.

Your Majesty,

General Han went to the Bo Mansion.

After he failed to meet Lord Bo,

he went all the way

to meet Minister Cui and

other ministers, who tend to claim for peace settlement

for secret discussion.

I'm worried that

they are conspiring.

If they still fail to meet Lord Bo tomorrow,

they would dissuade Your Majesty

to postpone the troop dispatch.

Spread my order.

I'm going to inspect the Bo Troop

at the drill ground.

Whether Lord Bo will awake or not,

I would like to meet

those generals

and ministers personally.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Highness,

what should we do next?

We can't idle and witness

the condemnation lashes onto

Ji Chong, Ke Lang,

and Brother Ye Han.

Forging the military order is a felony.

Don't be panic. Let me think of it.

Your Highness, General Wang is here.

Greetings to Princess.

Please rise, General.

I can't afford this.

In the past,

Ma Ying and I were once officers in the royal court.

But now,

everything has changed.

Do you come with an idea

to save Ji Chong?

Yes, I do.

Forcing the King of Jin

to hold the canonisation ceremony

and show his loyalty to Your Highness.

I've suspected that the King of Jin

wasn't sincerely reviving the former court.

And now, I've proven my thoughts.

Please be rest assured,

Your Highness.

I've led my army

to seek refuge in Your Highness.

Together with the Ma Troop

and Prince's Chuanlong Troop.

If we manage to lure the King of Jin to attend alone

and force him to surrender,

the authority can be returned to you.

Your Highness, please stop hesitating.

It's urgent.

The sins committed by Prince and the others

are felony.

You know the King of Jin well,

he is cruel.

Besides, he will grasp any chance

to remove those who are loyal to you.

If you kept hesitating,

Prince will be

at the grave danger.

I really appreciate

your kind intention.

Your solution

might be feasible.

Great, I'll go and prepare now.

But please allow me to reject it.

Confronting with the enemy,

Jin must unite as one.

Also, Ji Chong and the others

have forged the military order

and violated the law.

If one fails to obey the law strictly,

how would they win in the battle in future?

If they weren't punished,

how would the Jin's people

value Jin's law?

Your Highness,

don't you worry about your status and authority

and be manipulated as a puppet

by the King of Jin?

Chu Kui only cares for the status and power,

instead of the people.

What does it matter if I don't have them?

Besides,

it's true that

under the King of Jin's governance,

Jin went very well.

Although his governance is strict,

there's no tyranny.

This is the prime wish of the people.

It doesn't matter who is the ruler.

Are you really

not going to save Ji Chong and the others?

I'm sad

and worried for them.

But this is my personal affair.

Sometimes,

under such situation,

it's crucial to keep my emotion under control.

If you don't have a perfect solution for it,

I'll meet with the King of Jin again.

After all,

it was all because of

my negligence.

I shouldn't escape from my responsibility.

Well said.

Under such situation,

it's crucial to control one's emotion.

I really respect your remarks.

Sorry for offending Your Highness.

King of Jin,

I tell you what...

I mean, I've told you that

Princess is a kind lady.

You may rest assured.

Are you satisfied now?

General and the King of Jin have colluded?

In the past few days,

if I've offended Your Highness,

please forgive me.

I was just learned about the truth

after Father told me.

From the time when Your Highness returned,

everything

was designed by me.

It is for the sake of this moment.

So, everything I've experienced

is to test me

whether my emotion will run over logic

and affect the renaissance of the previous dynasty?

In this troubled era,

the ruler should look at the big picture.

Your Highness, please forgive me

for what I've done.

I'll hold the canonisation ceremony

for Your Highness as soon as possible.

What about Ji Chong and the others?

Did they learn of the truth?

They've escaped

on the way back.

I've sent my guards

to arrest them.

Please enter, Your Highness.

Feel free to tell,

Your Highness.

Afterwards,

what are you planning to do with

Ji Chong and the others?

I purposely

let him run away.

Once he escapes,

he will definitely

assemble with the Chuanlong Troop

and launch attack together.

However, the troops have already received my order

to pretend to consent with him.

In the end,

no one will support him.

And he will leave in shame.

But if he doesn't leave

and come back alone,

I'll imprison him forever.

Why do you do this?

If he knows that you're dedicated to protect me

without any evil intention,

it's just a test for me,

he will put away his resistance.

I hope he could continue to misunderstand me instead.

I hope Your Highness would help me in that too.

I won't agree to you.

Is Your Highness aware of

the reason for testing you?

It's because

I'm worried that Your Highness

is not suitable to stay in the troubled era

just like that brat did.

When he was born,

he was very tiny.

Not much bigger than my palm.

I was worried that he would not last long.

I've never expected that

he would grow up well,

and become bolder than anyone else.

In Jin,

everyone is afraid of me,

especially the kids.

But

he was the only kid who dared

to act so bold on me.

Does Your Highness know

what does this brave kid fear of

since he was young?

He was afraid that

people around him would suffer because of him.

When he was a little boy,

he was lazy in practising martial arts

as well as in studying.

He was not afraid of any punishment.

But if his servant

was punished,

he would beg for mercy.

This kid

may seem arrogant and naughty.

Instead,

he is soft hearted.

Indeed, he is.

Only parents

know their children well.

After he grew up,

he surprised me very much.

At the age of sixteen,

he led the troop for the first time.

In that year, he won in plenty of battles.

Since then,

he strived

to improve his combat strength

and study the military strategies every night.

I was very pleased that

this brat

learnt to be humble

aside from enjoying the vanity.

But later I found out that

it wasn't the case.

The reason why

he desperately wanted to win in every battles

because he was afraid that his buddies

would die in the battles.

Seven years ago,

you punished

Ji Chong's assistant general.

I reckon that your intention

is to intimidate him

and teach him a lesson.

As a chief marshal of the Jin Troop,

I hope that he could learn

to be just and stern.

However, as a father,

I really appreciate

his kindness and righteous.

But this is not a good thing

in the battle field.

Seven years ago, he chose to leave.

I was really confusing at that time.

I was mad that

he chose to escape from the reality,

At the same time, I didn't want him to stay

and become apathetic.

However,

Your Highness, you're different from him.

He can choose

to live in his own way.

But

Your Highness can't do that.

You bear the hatred of the country and your family.

And you can't escape from that.

That's why

I have to test Your Highness

on whether Your Highness will be emotional

and disregard the overall situation.

What if

I didn't pass the test?

Well...

This means that Your Highness

is not suitable to this troubled era

and is not eligible to lead the army.

Then I'll be

risking myself

to sit on the throne

till the world is under control.

And I'll return the power by then.

With your loyal conduct,

I reckon that you didn't really want to make use of me,

sacrifice and

abandon me

when we were at Qitan, am I right?

You're right.

If something bad happens,

I've already planned well.

Besides, I've informed Liu Xin

to seek help from others

if anything happens.

So that day,

she didn't run away,

but went to seek help from you instead.

I've cleared your confusion.

Could Your Highness promise me

not to tell this to Ju Yao

and let him continue to hate me?

This is my way

to protect him.

I hope that

he could leave

this era that is not suitable to him.
