~ Episode 38 ~

23

So what if you are the Crown Prince of Megrez?

24

Is it that impressive being the Crown Prince of Megrez?

25

I followed you because I want to, not because of who you are.

26

Then why? I need an explanation.

27

I'm out of wine. Need to get some more.

28

Tell me, what are you afraid of?

29

What are you really afraid of?

30

Because every single day that we spent together is just temporary.

31

This is all temporary, don't you understand?

32

This is temporary.

33

Do you think I don't know just because you don't want to talk about it.

34

The toxin inside my body is untreatable.

35

Passion Lockup Toxin.

36

Passion Lockup Toxin is untreatable.

37

Do you think I want to be like this?

38

I like you

39

but I have to push you away.

40

Do you think I want to be like this?

41

Do I want it like this?

42

I don't want you to be sad.

43

I don't want you to stay with a dying person.

44

Don't.

45

Don't talk about the future.

46

I will not let you die.

47

This is not something you can decide.

48

Trust me.

49

Trust me.

50

Trust me. I won't let you die.

51

Definitely won't.

52

The New Year Festival is your birthday.

53

I always tell myself that

54

I must prepare a very touching celebration for your birthday.

55

I know

56

you have everything, and I also don't have enough money to buy you a valuable gift.

57

I thought you might feel lonely,

58

that's why, I prepared a lively show for you.

59

I hope you like it.

60

I like it.

61

Flowing light.

62

For this, you have to thank that hateful doctor. He helped a lot.

63

It was him who told me...

64

...that Flowing Light is the mythical bird of South Clan.

65

When the evening star rises, they then soar up into the night sky.

66

When the morning star lights, they return to their nests in full strength.

67

They are able to travel thousands of li during the night,

68

but also get locked up here forever.

69

Did Zong Yue tell you...

70

...that Flowing Light only has a month long life?

71

Really?

72

But...they never feared death. When they are about to die,

73

they will always smell fragrantly and encircled with a purple light.

74

Each one like a falling petal, returning back to the soil.

75

This is how a person should live like.

76

Live brightly

77

and die honorably.

78

I once met a woman,

79

She overlapped with a shadow that's deep within my heart.

80

I wanted to know her so I got close to her,

81

and in the process of getting close to her, I slowly forgot my original goal.

82

I wanted nothing and lacked nothing in my life.

83

I never had to fight for something or knew the concept of respect,

84

but because of this woman, I had these feelings for the first time.

85

This feeling was so intense to the point that I've forgotten about that shadow.

86

I just want to see her existence.

87

Fuyao.

88

I hope that you can be like this bright and clear moon,

89

Stay by my side forever

90

against time and death

91

until the end of the world.

92

Being able to be with the person you love...

93

...what's there to fear about death?

94

Flower will always be around. People will always be around.

95

A bosom friend for a lifetime, never betraying.

96

Urgent Megrez report!

97

Father Emperor is critically ill.

98

His Majesty, the medicine has been warmed.

99

After getting sick for so many days,

100

the high ministers of the court

101

can't hide their intentions now, right?

102

From the looks of it now, majority of the court members are not going beyond their place.

103

Who is the majority

104

and who is not in the majority?

105

Lord Duan accepted Prince Assist's—

106

Stop. Go to the most important point.

107

Okay. This is a secret report sent last night.

108

Is this about Prince Assist Pingrong?

109

You are wise.

110

Just tell it to me.

111

It's not some urgent matter.

112

It just says that Prince Assist has been making nonstop movements lately.

113

First, were successive secret meetings with the messenger of the Prince/Duke of Wanzhou.

114

And then, he sent someone to South Clan

115

to deliver some treasures to the dukes there.

116

From the looks of it,

117

Prince Assist is planning to make his move against His Highness Crown Prince.

118

How is the Crown Prince?

119

The secret letter from the imperial city has been sent out.

120

Crown Prince should have received it now.

121

- It's just that...

- Continue with what you're saying.

122

It's just that Prince Assist has set up soldiers on the road back here.

123

I fear that the journey of Crown Prince back here will be very dangerous.

124

Since you've decided to return, what route have you planned to take?

125

The Secret Guard has already sent me news

126

that the east and west roads towards Megrez have soldiers of Prince Assist waiting in ambush.

127

He has guessed that I will immediately rush back to Megrez, and is preparing to ambush me midway.

128

These are not the only roads back to Megrez.

129

There's one more. It's the most dangerous, but the quickest.

130

Geya Desert.

131

Geya Desert is also known as the death desert. It's the most dangerous and most mysterious place in the Five Regions.

132

Legend says that the gates to netherworld can be found there.

133

For so many years, no one was able to come out of Geya Desert alive.

134

And you still are going?

135

I'm willing to give it a try.

136

Two sons fighting, one will surely get hurt. Han Lin.

137

- I'm here.

- In your opinion,

138

who is more suitable to have my Megrez Empire's emperor position?

139

Choosing the ruler concerns the nation, I dare not make casual remarks.

140

Han Lin, you have been with me for so many years.

141

You can be considered my confidante.

142

If you don't say it, who else

143

can dare to say the truth in front of me? Rise.

144

- Yes.

- Just say it. I won't mind.

145

Crown Prince is sharp and superiorly intelligent.

146

He is able to hide his thoughts a bit deeper. But at one look,

147

he seems to lack the ruthlessness in governing a military force compared to Prince Assist.

148

He's too aloof and disdains to win over anyone's heart. While Prince Assist

149

has fought in battles for many years, has courage, good in strategies, and has more wild ambition.

150

It's just that sometimes, he's a bit rash.

151

What are the court officials thinking?

152

After all, Your Majesty has conferred Crown Prince his title long before

153

and he has just learned some abilities from Firmament.

154

Majority of the court officials

155

are then following your intention.

156

Following my intention?

157

It's just as I have guessed. From the looks of it,

158

Megrez, Five Regions, the whole court thinks

159

that Wuji is the only choice for the Megrez Crown Prince.

160

You know this matter.

161

The whole imperial court knows it. Then Wuji himself must also know it!

162

Hence, he relied on this public respect and support

163

and started to do as he wishes and disobeying me without restraint.

164

Crown Prince is young. Liking one or two women

165

is understandable. This time, he most likely

166

is just having a moment of obsession.

167

Just for liking a woman from the ordinary class

168

actually led to the destruction of the wedding agreement between my Megrez and Plough Nation.

169

As a member of the royal clan, he should know

170

the importance of the marriage alliance between 2 nations. How could he not know?!

171

This child has been spoiled too much.

172

His path has also been too easy and smooth sailing.

173

Not experiencing any difficulties and suffering isn't a good thing for him.

174

It's time. He should experience some trials

175

and be taught some lessons.

176

Go and call Prince Assist.

177

Have you ever thought that maybe he wants you to choose this path?

178

He surely had made preparations on all 3 paths. It's just that Geya Desert is too dangerous.

179

He probably will just set up ambushes on the moutnain paths towards the desert.

180

As long as I get rid of these soldiers, the road ahead surely will have no more obstacles.

181

What if he dispatch a huge army and gamble it all?

182

Even if that's the case, no need to be overly worried.

183

I've already sent the Secret Guard to return to the capital to mobilize my army. The Thousand Knights of Upper Yang Palace will meet me in Geya Desert.

184

The environment there is intensely harsh. It's my best chance to win despite being at a disadvantage in numbers.

185

Compared to Prince Assist, I'm more worried with those strange things inside the desert.

186

I kept feeling uneasy.

187

When have you become such a nag?

188

I'll go with you.

189

Royal Father, it's just been days since I last saw you.

190

How come you've become like this?!

191

If you're gone,

192

how can I still live?!

193

Royal Father...your extraordinary power is matchless.

194

Unrivaled in wisdom.

195

These past years, I wasn't able to serve you by your bedside.

196

I was so unfilial.

197

Pingrong.

198

Royal Father, earlier...I was just too worried about you.

199

Look at you.

200

Who can dare hand the imperial throne of Megrez to your hands?

201

The Five Regions world, boundless land, millions of citizens,

202

will you be able to take the responsibility?!

203

Royal Father, I was at a sorry figure earlier...

204

...all because...

205

...I was thinking about you, worried about your health,

206

worried about the Father Emperor...

207

of the Five Regions.

208

I also couldn't control myself...

209

...for father and son are connected in heart, Royal Father...

210

This illness came too timely.

211

I initially want to use it to test the intentions of the court officials.

212

Never expected that I will give you the best opportunity to make a move.

213

Royal Father, I don't understand what you're saying...

214

You dare to do it and can't dare to admit it?!

215

You disappointed me.

216

This royal throne has always been a result of bloodshed!

217

Royal Father is wise! I understand.

218

Wuji... I didn't expect that Royal Father will not help you too.

219

This time, you're dead.

221

Say, which scriptwriter wrote that

222

when a woman has pledged her love, she had to personally sew a pouch.

223

How come it can't be just cutting off a bundle of logs or forge a blade?

224

You mustn't mock me. I already did my best.

225

Look, a lotus. Does it look like one?

226

You're the one who looks like a rice ball! How is it like one?!

227

It does...not look that good.

228

I'm not doing it anymore. Anyway, I won't be able to give it out.

229

Older Sis Fuyao! Older Sis Fuyao, quickly look at Tie Cheng!

230

- What are you doing?

- Crown Prince Wuji took him and don't know where they went.

231

- Quickly go look.

- Wuji? Slow down...

232

I will surely do my best to do the matters that Teacher instructed.

233

I'm swearing with my life to take of Teacher's wife.

234

No, Tie Cheng, are you dumb? Who is your Teacher? And who is your Teacher's wife?

235

The person who taught me martial arts is my Teacher. Fuyao then naturally becomes my Teacher's wife.

236

Young lad...you're teachable.

237

- I don't want to be his Teacher's wife!

- Oh?

238

Really? You're not willing?

239

What 'oh'?

240

Let me tell you, that I don't care if you accept any disciple.

241

But don't involve me. We have a very clean relationship.

242

Really? You say that our relationship is very clean.

243

Why then are they saying...

244

...that you are my woman? And covertly, they are also saying that we are a match made in heaven,

245

the dragon and phoenix of Yao City.

246

Bullshit!

247

I never accepted any disciple, nor plan to accept one.

248

I made an exception this time for your sake.

249

For my sake?

250

I...no need. As a Teacher's wife, I still must care about his food, tea, life, and death.

251

I...am very poor. I can't afford to care about those. Don't involve me.

252

Don't worry. When master is not here, I'll take care of eating, drinking and everything else.

253

I'll guard your life. I'll take care of you well.

254

You... shut up!

255

Wait.

256

You won't be here? You're leaving?

257

I'm leaving now.

258

So sudden?

259

You miss me?

260

My good disciple.

261

Take Xiaoqi and leave first.

262

- Let's go.

- Yes, Master.

263

Hurry, let's go.

264

Alright, I'll return really soon.

265

Although you have a Xiaoqi by your side who is clever and kind,

266

he still is too young and has a bit poor physique.

267

I can see that Tie Cheng sincerely respects you and he has some martial arts foundation.

268

Hence, I taught him a little. Hope he can guard by your side and ensure your safety.

269

With my murderous aura and I'm an expert in turning ill-fate into a good one, who would dare to offend me?

270

Don't push yourself too hard. Protect yourself well.

271

In case... in case something goes wrong, what will I do?

272

I received a message from the palace to return immediately because my father is ill.

273

It won't be easy to see him face to face.

274

The poison in your body hasn't been completely removed and you still have to guard the whole Yao City.

275

Girl, you must not...

276

Don't worry.

277

I still have a lot of good food and good wine to enjoy. I'm not ready to get hurt.

278

Just be at ease and handle your matter.

279

I will defend Yao City well for you and wait for your return.

280

Wuji has to leave because his father is ill. Why are you leaving in a hurry too?

281

Someone is using death to threaten me, that if I'm able to find an antidote for your poison and you die,

282

he also will not make my life easy.

283

How much favor do you owe him? You work so hard for him.

284

Actually, you two owe me much more.

285

[Yao City Deputy Office]

286

I'm leaving then.

287

Ok, leave.

288

You're not trying to keep me here?

289

I can't keep you.

290

For me, you broke the marriage alliance with Plough Nation.

291

The situation in the Megrez Imperial City curently is very delicate to begin with

292

and you should have stayed there, yet you rushed towards here.

293

I'm with you, but I don't want to burden you.

294

Alright, I'll leave Yuan Bao with you. He can be useful in emergency.

295

Also, Yao City is where 3 nations meet, an important thoroughfare for the 6 vassal states. It's a critically important area.

296

I'm entrusting the city to you. Guard it well.

297

Don't worry. I surely will guard Yao City well.

298

While the city exists, I exist. Once the city fall, I—

299

I want you all to exist.

300

An important guest has come!

301

It's Lord Xu!

302

He is the VIP today.

303

Today's Prince Assist. Tomorrow's Emperor of the Five Regions!

304

Greetings, Your Highness Prince Assist!

305

You just drink and enjoy.

306

- Xiao Hong, you must serve them well.

- Master!

307

You are finally here.

308

Sir, come, let me offer you a toast.

309

I have good food and wine in my room waiting for you.

310

It's been a long time since you visited me.

311

I really missed you.

312

Enough.

313

Greetings, Your Highness.

314

I, Hong Ying, have fulfilled my mission.

315

Prince Assist stole the dispatch badge of the Thousand Knights of Upper Yang Palace.

316

His men has already set out.

317

An official road and the water route from South Clan to Megrez are now being heavily guarded by his soldiers.

318

He now has sent out a batch of his most elite men towards Geya Desert.

319

I don't know who they plan to assassinate.

320

Who do you think they want to assassinate?

321

Hong Ying, you are so smart. This is so clear.

322

Why ask me?

323

These past years, Prince Assist has been spending huge money to cultivate his power.

324

His Highness Crown Prince has also been vigilant.

325

Now that the two princes are fighting each other, you can grab the opportunity.

326

I don't understand why your highness doesn't seem to care.

327

Why should I get involved in their sibling rivalry?

328

If you're really that broad-minded,

329

why will you care about the survival of the Crown Prince Wuji in Geya Desert?

330

Prince Assist has wild ambitions but lacking in intelligence and tactics.

331

Crown Prince is intelligent and sensible, popular with the public.

332

If Megrez is given to a rash person,

333

and he pushes the world into turmoil,

334

as a royal prince, I can't just watch and do nothing.

335

Could there be something else in this world other than extreme power that will win a man's heart?

336

Twenty-seven years ago, in my Zhangsun clan,

337

I'm the most favorite and powerful prince.

338

This Megrez royal throne was surely mine.

339

But I didn't put too much importance on these things that I can easily obtain.

340

Life is hard and short. If you didn't bring them when you were born, you won't bring them with you when you die.

341

If you're unable to find a person that knows your heart,

342

what's the use of giving you the world?

343

I have found it. I have found that person.

344

For me...

345

...she's more important than the world.

346

Once a person falls in love, he would become hesitant.

347

I lost the royal throne, and lost the drive to fight.

348

And I lost my greatest love.

349

I fear...that in the end,

350

I might even lose the chance to guard by her side.

351

The hardest trial to pass in this world is the trial of love.

352

How am I different?

353

Zhangsun Jiong arranged you here to win my trust,

354

to be a pawn to monitor me. You have worked hard.

355

Your Highness...

356

My heart... My life has been yours.

357

Because of that, I don't want to let you continue jumping into this fiery pit.

358

Once I get dragged into this heir battle, I might not have the time to care about your safety anymore.

359

Tonight, I will send someone to escort you out of here.

360

From now on, live a peaceful life.

361

These were the ones I previously promised you.

362

10,000 liang of gold and 30,000 of armors, I will never break my promise.

363

Today, I'm giving them double the amount.

364

I sincerely want to make friends with you.

365

Being able to serve Prince Assist is an honor for my Black Tribe Gang.

366

Your Highness, just instruct me of your plans.

367

I want you to attack Yao City.

368

Even if Your Highness don't give the instructions, I can't allow Yao City to exist anymore!

369

Once you've successfully conquered Yao City,

370

head east to meet with my men. We will then directly charge into the imperial city together.

371

After this is over, won't the whole South Clan be yours?

372

With just a measly Yao City, it's too easy for my Black Tribe Gang to conquer it.

373

May Your Highness just wait for my victory report on Yao City.

374

Wuji has been gone for 4 days.

375

I know you miss him. I miss him too.

376

What is happening with that rascal now?

377

[Black Tribe Gang]

378

[Black Tribe Gang]

379

What?! The deputy of Yao City is called Fuyao?

380

That bitch is not dead?

381

Zhangsun Wuji, you dare to trick me?!

382

The battle is about to begin. She won't be alive for long.

383

Not only her, Zhangsun Wuji's life is also in peril.

384

Spread my command that whoever is able to get the head of the deputy of Yao City, I'll reward him with 10,000 liang gold!

385

Yes!

386

We should have taken our arms and annihilate those cruel and evil bandits long ago.

387

Why did we drag it out until now? Now, there number has increased to several times.

388

Yao City is an important political fortress, a territorial meeting point of 3 nations. Clutching Yao City

389

is like clutching the whole western part of the Five Regions.

390

For a critical area like that, bandits have long been coveting for it.

391

Before, they colluded with the deputy, so Yao City was already in the bag for them.

392

Now, with a just deputy serving, how could they endure it?

393

I fear that this disaster...

394

Before in Mt. Haoyang (vast/heaven sun), when I saw them mobilizing their army in the middle of the night, I already know that trouble will be coming.

395

I just thought that

396

after they were severely beaten last time, it won't happen that fast. Never thought...

397

So what do we do now?

398

We have to fight regardless.

399

It's just that the whole Yao City has only 3,000 soldiers.

400

The Black Tribe Gang has at least 20,000 to 30,000 men, plus the reinforcements brought by that idiot....

401

...probably 50,000 men in total.

402

3,000 against 50,000? How are we going to win this battle?

403

More importantly, the reserved rations of Yao City is only enough for 5 days.

404

It's not enough for fighting a war.

405

If our strength isn't at par, let's first avoid a blunt confrontation.

406

If the stocks are not enough, let's think of all possible ways to stock up on food.

407

If the food can only last for 5 days,

408

let's try our best to end the fight in 5 days.

409

In front is the Geya Desert. Logically speaking, your Thousand Knights of Upper Yang Palace should have arrived.

410

Thousand Knights of Upper Yang Palace has never failed their mission.

411

If they are not here on the agreed time, then there is only one possibility.

412

I fear that a change has already happened in Megrez.

413

The chasing army is here. We have no more retreat path. We can only fight to the death.

414

There's more and less in army strength. There's good and bad armor quality.

415

But a person mustn't lose his moral courage.

416

This land is still our Yao City.

417

Long swords are made to suck blood.

418

I, Fuyao, will exist together with Yao City!

419

Exist together with Yao City!

420

The army of Black Tribe Gang is very near us now.

421

But our rations can only last for less than 3 days.

422

Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir (adapt to the situation). Everyone, defend this Yao City with me.

423

Looks like Zhangsun Pingrong has bet everything on this.

424

Let us keep him company until the end then.

425

Killing can happen in just an instant. What's scary isn't the greatness of the fighting skills, but delaying things to deplete the enemy's strength.

426

If this continues, I fear that we both can't get out of this alive.

427

Tell me then, what should we do?

428

Let's divide and conquer.

429

You take the official road and bring the news of my return to the Secret Guard in Megrez Imperial City.

430

I will continue with this path. Only by that can you have the chance to survive.

431

This is...they've all escaped?

432

The empty city tactic.

433

Are we going in or not?

434

Archers!

435

Shoot your arrows!

436

[Yao City]

437

See? There should be no problem.

438

Tell your men to enter first to confirm the situation. Move slowly.

439

How come our men get to enter first?

440

Based on Prince Assist's military order!

441

Go!

442

[Yao City]

443

Attack!

444

- Charge!

- Attack!

445

Withdraw! Withdraw!

446

Hurry!

"Hard-to-Get Love" by Lala Hsu

449

♫ What do you know? ♫

450

♫ What are good about the three realms? ♫

451

♫ If there're no three poisons, if there're no worries ♫

452

♫ How can it make me reluctant to leave? ♫

453

♫ Worry for love, beg for hate ♫

454

♫ And even discard my soul for affection ♫♫ And even discard my soul for affection ♫

455

♫ The one, who asks me to love him, loves me ♫

456

♫ I only want him to love me ♫

457

♫ What do you use to exchange for this hard-to-get love? ♫

458

♫ If there's no sickness or weakness, if there's never oldness ♫

459

♫ How can it make a spark to chase after stars alone? ♫

460

♫ Slim down for him, stay for my heart ♫

461

♫ And even chase away all luck for dreams ♫

462

♫ It wants me to be so pretty that I seize his soul ♫

463

♫ And continue dazzling in his heart ♫

464

♫ There is a saying that what a person asks for the lifetime ♫

465

♫ Is no more than staying together with one's lover by any means ♫

466

♫ If one can't obtain what one asks for ♫

467

♫ One is filled with anxiety and with knitted brows ♫

468

♫ There is a saying that if a person asks for the next lifetime ♫

469

♫ One should only ask to know everything about warfare ♫

470

♫ Dreams beg heart to grant me love ♫

471

♫ And have someone's company for the rest of my life ♫

472

♫ Have someone's company♫

473

♫ There is a saying that what a person asks for the lifetime ♫

474

♫ Is no more than staying together with one's lover by any means ♫

475

♫ If one can't obtain what one asks for ♫

476

♫ One is filled with anxiety and with knitted brows ♫

477

♫ There is a saying that if a person asks for the next lifetime ♫

478

♫ One should only ask to know everything about warfare ♫

479

♫ Dreams beg heart to grant me love ♫

480

♫ And have someone's company for the rest of my life ♫
