Episode 29

Zhan...

General,

what's wrong?

Wake up!

What are you doing?

Demon, how dare

you sneak into the general's camp?

Miss Mi,

you misunderstood.

She couldn't wake up from her nightmare.

I wanted to help.

It's you.

Yes, I carried her

back to camp.

Would I save her

if I borne ill will?

You might pretend to be good

but have ulterior motives.

Had I wanted,

I could kill her outside.

Why should I expose my identity?

Mere rhetoric!

The Demon Clan killed my brothers.

Will I let you go

based on what you said?

I'm just a lowly horse herder.

I revealed my identity without hesitation

to heal her

because she rescued me once.

Now we are even.

Miss Mi,

you can kill me.

Mi.

General!

General.

Mi.

Please leave.

General,

he is a demon.

Human or demon,

I know

he bears no ill will.

Not now,

but he may in future.

General,

I am not a demon.

You bear its mark.

You can't deny that.

My mother is a human.

Humans and demons have lived together for 100 years.

Half-bloods like you

are uncommon

but not in the minority.

Mi,

he had the opportunity

to hurt me,

but

my brothers earned their honour

by putting their lives on the line.

I do not trust anyone easily.

It's not about humans or demons.

In the Demon Clan,

because of my human bloodline,

I'm an outcast and I was looked down on.

In the human race,

I also have to hide my identity

because humans despise

and hate demons.

You didn't judge me based on identity.

You respect me.

I, Wengu, am grateful.

Miss Mi,

may I have a pen, ink, and paper?

Righteous man,

you saved me.

I'm grateful.

But we have different paths.

Why follow me?

My name is Zhan Yan.

Did General Duanmu mention me?

Why should she?

Do you know General Duanmu?

We are somewhat acquainted.

You are either an acquaintance

or not.

What do you mean by somewhat?

You talk strangely.

I'm young,

but not stupid.

You saved me.

Thank you very much.

If you want to get information out of me,

let me tell you,

no way.

I heard General Duanmu

is as strong as a man.

I'm an admirer.

I want to join the Duanmu Brigade.

Forget it.

Duanmu Brigade isn't recruiting.

It doesn't want men.

Don't stare at me.

I'm a real man.

I am the exception.

You won't understand.

You can't join the Duanmu Brigade.

But because you saved me

and know martial arts,

I might

recommend you to General Yang Jian.

Yang Jian?

General Duanmu's blood brother?

You know a lot.

That's right.

His camp

recruited people recently.

I can write a recommendation letter,

and you can apply directly.

I have to report back.

No more chit-chat.

Bye.

Remember to apply.

Miss Mi, this is

a prescription to calm nerves

and help General Duanmu sleep.

If you are worried,

get a military doctor to check it.

General, don't worry.

I will not approach you anymore,

and raise suspicions.

Goodbye.

Miss,

looks like he used his special ability

to awaken you.

A clansman can be good or bad.

But we are about to go to war.

We can't trust him.

We know he has Demon Clan blood.

We must be on guard in future.

If he acts strangely,

arrest him.

However,

if someone insults him,

we shouldn't just do nothing.

He clearly meant well,

but pretended not to.

All day long,

you

put on a cold, detached look.

You were different while in the tribe.

After years of war,

I can't be what I was anymore.

I'm just worried

that if you keep looking detached,

you will become ugly.

You used to love looking pretty.

How could you stand this appearance?

Mi,

I like it when you don't call me "my lady"

or "general".

When you call me my name,

I forget I am General Duanmu,

and

you aren't poker-face Mi.

I feel we are back in our childhood.

The two tribes were lively

and happy every day.

General,

things will be fine

after we defeat Chong City.

When I led you out of the tribe, I said

I'll take you home in the future.

I will live up to my words.

Take care of it for a few days

until its wound heals,

then take it to the forest.

Yes.

Be careful.

Your Majesty.

To take care of this animal,

you didn't eat and drink the whole day.

It hurt its lungs,

and it took me a whole day to heal it.

In the end,

you killed it.

Alas...

It's better to die in Chong City.

Might as well

end it.

Must you talk to me like this?

If you are bored,

I can get dancers and performers

to perform for you,

and make you happy.

Must you harm your body

for such a lowly thing?

In my mind,

all living things are equal.

If you feel that

other than the Dragon Clan,

other lives are lowly,

then you can kill me too,

lest I dirty your palace.

You belong to me, the Demon King.

Don't mention yourself

in the same breath with the lowly human race.

As for your hopeless son,

I have high expectations of him,

but you

sent him out of the palace

to live with those untouchables.

You will ruin him.

If I let him stay in the palace,

he'll turn into you.

That will ruin him.

As a doctor,

I have never regretted saving anyone,

except you!

You!

All these years,

I tolerated you,

but you remained the same.

I don't want to explain.

One day, when the Demon Clan rules the human race,

you will understand.

Everything I do now

is for the whole Demon Clan.

My lady,

don't be sad.

If Tai Ao sees you like this,

he will definitely feel bad.

Hong Luan,

thank you.

These years,

had you not stayed with me,

I really don't know

if I could hang on.

I'm glad

I was with you.

I promised Tai Ao to do that.

Hong Luan,

was I wrong

to send Tai Ao away?

My lady,

only by sending him away

will he always be what he is in our hearts

and not the Demon King's tool

to rule human race.

Had he grown up in this palace,

he won't know what is good or bad,

and will become cruel.

Only by leaving here

will he live like a man

and not

a murderous monster.

But humans and demons have fought for many years,

and his status is special.

I worry that when he is outside,

he'll meet some mishaps.

My lady,

Tai Ao is smart and kind.

He'll get out of calamities

and dangers.

But the crown prince is garrisoning Anyi City.

He is hostile to Tai Ao.

I fear something will happen to Tai Ao.

My lady,

if you are worried,

I'll find him.

Make sure he is safe.

You are careful and cautious.

If you protect him,

I won't worry so much.

It's a secret meeting.

People talk.

Chief officers remain outside.

But...

But what?

This is for generals.

You want to observe?

You...

General Gu Chang,

why have you invited us here?

Why is this so serious

that deputy officers can't enter.

The issue about Yu Du is still pending.

We have a military intelligence leak.

Human officers and soldiers have their duties.

Dangers are lurking.

To stop them, deputy officers

can't attend future meetings.

I agree, General Gu Chang.

I have no objection.

Stop staring.

Go away.

Go away! Stop staring!

My lord,

your copper coin.

Not your business.

Go away.

Stand still.

Listen!

Don't talk when you shouldn't,

or I cut off your tongue.

Officer Cheng, why afraid

if you are upright?

What do you mean?

Your copper coin has demon scent.

I gave you news about Yu Du.

Shouldn't I be rewarded accordingly?

We also lost dozens of demons

to pave your road to a high position.

They're nothing.

This is Yu Du,

the love and pride of Duanmu Cui.

This is a reward from the crown prince.

If you continue to weaken the human race,

you will enjoy benefits.

Did he

discover something?

What is your camp?

General Gao's camp.

Give me the coin.

You know too much.

I invite you two generals here

to discuss the plan to attack Anyi.

Who are you?

I'm asking you.

Talk!

What are you doing?

Were you not punished enough?

General, you misunderstood.

We were just sparring

to test our skills.

In Gu Chang Camp?

Cheng Qi,

aren't you in a good mood?

Military rules do not bar us

from learning from other camps.

Besides,

I think General Duanmu

is addicted to interfering with

Gao Bo Camp's affairs.

It's a small matter.

Duanmu,

don't make a fuss.

General Gao,

I think this is just

a horse herder man.

If your chief officer wants to spar,

go find a tough guy.

Go back!

How shameful!

Wait.

Wengu,

the herbal soup you prescribed

was very effective.

Starting today,

every two days,

send the herbal soup to Duanmu Brigade.

If you don't come,

I'll look for you in Gao Bo Camp.

You stirred up trouble.

General,

it wasn't me.

I saw Wengu sneaking around,

and hit him out of anger.

Shut up!

Do you think I don't know you bully others

because you have me?

Be sensitive to the occasion.

In Gu Chang Camp,

don't do as you wish.

General,

Gu Chang

and Duanmu Cui look down on you.

I got angry seeing that.

I also look down on them.

I have more soldiers

and stronger officers.

But General,

think about it.

Duanmu is Jiang Yi's goddaughter.

Yang Jian is Jiang Yi's godson.

In my opinion,

Gu Chang will get into Jiang Yi's family

by marrying Duanmu.

They will be a family soon.

You will fight them alone.

I won't necessarily be at a disadvantage.

Okay, okay,

I know you're loyal.

General,

Duanmu is very protective of Wengu.

He might be her spy.

In my opinion,

we should act on this quickly.

Act in complete secrecy,

or she'll catch you.

Yes.

Stop right there!

You

patrol outside Anyi City from now on.

Only me?

What?

Do you want me to arrange

bodyguards for you?

Yes, sir.

Wengu,

whether you discovered something

or not,

you must die.

Tai Ao,

where are you?

Tai Ao!

Who sent you?

Why kill me?

You know too much, that's why.

Do you think you can escape?

Kill!

Tai Ao!

It's you!

Swordsman,

have we met?

Maybe.

Here's another daredevil.

You all can die together!

Quick,

use the peach blossom maze.

They're trapped.

Let's go.

Again!

Pay attention!

-Okay. -Okay.

A woman without a man is pitiful.

Yu Du is dead.

Duanmu Brigade has no heir.

Soon you will merge with other camps.

I think,

Mi,

forget your knives and spears,

and marry a man from our camp.

Don't put your life on the line.

I am still alive.

Yu Du.

-Yu Du. -Yu Du.

Yu Du.

Yu Du.

Yu Du.

Yu Du, you're back.

Sister Mi.

Let me look.

You rascal.

Why didn't you send news?

We

were worried sick.

My fault.

Are you hurt?

My fault.

Rascal.

Sorry.

I've made you worried.

Let me see if you're hurt.

You hurt?

Sisters.

Sisters.

So,

Cheng Qi,

want to spar with me?

The loser

runs 10 laps around the camp site naked?

Impossible.

You...

I'm not dead, right?

Chief officer,

do you wish me dead?

Unfortunately,

your wish wasn't granted.

So,

do you want to spar?

If not, admit defeat.

Crap!

Let's go.

Coward!

Ouch! Ouch!

Yu Du.

Yu Du,

I'll show you.

I said take care.

Did you?

I said stay safe.

Did you?

When we knew you were captured,

do you know how sad we were?

-Yes. -Yes.

The general had insomnia

after she knew you were in trouble.

She blamed herself for failing you.

Did you take care of yourself?

That's right.

Did you take care?

It was my fault.

Sisters,

it was my fault.

I've returned safely.

I'll be more careful in the future.

Don't worry.

So, you have conscience.

Good that you're back.

Good. You're back.

General!

General.

You're back. Good.

Wait.

Swordsman,

you may enter.

Yi Luo.

Yi Luo, it's me.

Yi Luo,

it's me.

Sister Hong Luan.

You are finally back.

I was so worried.

Good girl.

You're hurt!

I'm fine.

Who are they?

I went out to find someone

but was ambushed by demon soldiers.

Swordsman Zhan saved us.

Miss Yi Luo,

you can call me Zhan Yan.

Brother Zhan,

you saved Sister Hong Luan.

I owe you.

Don't stand outside.

Come in quickly.

Sister Hong Luan,

I made side dishes.

Please eat some.

Thanks, Miss Yi Luo.

I didn't leave here for years.

I grew vegetables in the yard.

Not many varieties.

Brother Zhan, hope you like it.

You stayed here for many years.

Miss Yi Luo,

you lived alone in this house.

Before the human-demon war,

my parents and I traded in Anyi City.

During the war,

I lost my parents.

They told me before they died

to never go out because

of the chaos outside.

So I never left here.

Some troublemakers came here.

Sister Hong Luan passed by and saved me.

She taught me

how to set up traps.

Yi Luo,

the war will end.

Things will get better.

When the war ends,

I can be as free

as before.

The Demon Clan will not hurt me

and I won't lose my loved ones anymore.

Then we...

You can live with

your sweetheart.

Is he

your sweetheart?

She talked nonsense.

I wasn't.

Sister Hong Luan,

didn't you say you want to find

a very important person?

You are so kind to that big brother.

He must be

that person.

Yi Luo,

did you forget something?

Oops,

I brewed herbs for brother-in-law.

If you like him,

why don't you admit it?

I don't deserve him.

I can only protect him from afar.

I hope he'll be safe and happy forever.

Life is too short.

You should seize the opportunity.

If you miss it,

you won't get a second chance.

How do you know

there's no second chance?

That's how I feel.

Swordsman Zhan.

How do you know I know the peach blossom maze?

I read a classic

that mentioned the peach blossom spells,

including the peach blossom maze.

I thought you should know it.

So that's why.

Swordsman Zhan,

I'm happy I met you.

Had you not shown up,

we won't be able to leave so easily.

No.

It's nice to be able

to meet you again.

I hope you two will get along well.

Here and here.

Focus on defence.

General,

let me tell you.

Zhan Yan is skilful,

and also wise and brave.

He is your admirer.

He wishes to join your brigade.

I asked him

did he think

everyone could join?

He must be talented like me

in order to join.

You've talked

for two hours about Zhan Yan.

Did you go out to spy on the Demon Clan

or to make friends?

General,

I am recommending a talent to you.

Get straight to the point.

The point.

The point is that in the human camps,

we might have a spy.

Speaking of spy,

do you suspect anyone?

When I discovered the ambush,

I wanted to retreat,

but my horse went wild.

Gao Bo Jian's camp is in charge of horses.

Cheng Qi himself gave you the horse that day.

That was strange.

General,

do not worry.

I will

get to the bottom of this.

When I find out who the spy is,

I will get him.

Tai Ao,

you're awake.

Come. Slowly.

Do you know me?

Don't you remember?

I am Hong Luan.

Hong Luan.

I am the little peach tree you saved.

You are

that little peach tree?

I didn't expect

you to attain a human form.

Thanks to your healing spirit rain,

I achieved that.

Don't mention it.

Your attainment

is a blessing for you.

Tai Ao,

how have you been these years?

That's not my name now.

My name is Wengu.

Wengu?

I know that Wen is Madam's last name.

But why call yourself Gu?

It's an unlucky word.

A child like me without a father or brother

is alone. Am I not?

I just want to tell myself

to rely on myself,

and not others.

I know it's not easy for you.

Why did you come here from Chong City?

I served Lady Wen in the palace for years.

She entrusted me

to find you in the human race.

What happened

to my mother?

Did the Demon King bully her?

Don't worry.

She is fine

but worried about you.

Did she say anything?

She hopes you can take care of yourself,

and not get involved in the war with humans.

Wengu, you're awake.

Who is this?

He is the swordsman who saved us.

You're chivalrous and courageous.

Thank you for saving us.

Don't mention it.

Brother Zhan, you want to join the human camp?

Deputy General Yu Du of Duanmu Brigade

knows me.

He recommended me

for the recruitment.

I'm also a human soldier.

I was in danger while on external duty.

I'm going back.

Come with me.

What about your body?

It's okay.

My wound is healing

and I'm ready to go.

I'll go with you.

Hong Luan,

return to Chong City.

Take care of my mother for me.

She needs someone by her side.

No way.

I promised Lady Wen

to find you.

The crown prince garrisons Anyi City.

He hates you.

Since I've found you,

I must protect you

and join the human race with you.

You are a demon.

If you go there,

you'll expose yourself.

That's too dangerous.

You're a demon also.

You don't fear danger.

I'm not afraid too.

I want to stay with you.

Hong Luan,

if you stay with me,

I'll get distracted caring for you.

I'll worry all day long.

Maybe that's more dangerous.

If you won't go to Chong City,

stay here and take care of yourself.

When I'm free,

I'll come back for you.

I won't do anything

that endangers you.

Okay.

I'll stay for a while.

When in trouble,

look for me.

Thank you.

Anyi City

Someone rescued Yu Du.

Not only that,

Cheng Qi wanted us to handle a human,

but none of our people came back.

Why were you so useless?

I'll find Cheng Qi

and investigate the matter.

Tell Cheng Qi

that he works for me,

not the other way round.

Ask him to find out

the human's Anyi battle plan.

Yes.

Sister Hong Luan,

this is for you.

Yi Luo,

your parents left this amulet for you.

You usually don't take it off.

Why today...

Sister Hong Luan,

I don't know when we'll meet again.

This amulet

will accompany you like me.

Don't worry about me.

I am used to living alone.

The beasts in the mountain fear me.

You messed up the matter with Yu Du.

Now,

Wengu, whom you said knows your identity,

also ran away.

He ran away from the demons sent by the crown prince.

What happened?

Who is that person?

I don't know.

A human soldier who bathes horses.

I didn't know he has abilities.

Listen,

if you don't get rid of these people,

your identity will be exposed.

Don't blame me for not protecting you.

I was careless,

and I did a lousy job,

but I didn't expect

human officers like Yu Du and Wengu

to escape.

There must be outsiders' helping.

The peach blossoms

are not from the human race.

This is the Demon Clan's trick.

No wonder trash like Wengu

could kill the crown prince's men.

The Demon Clan was helping him.

I want to see

who was the daredevil.

Stop nagging.

Leave or it'll be dark soon.

Oh no,

I left my scented sachet.

Sister Hong Luan was in a hurry,

and forgot the most important thing.

Be careful.

Who are you?

Have you seen this man?

No.

Do you know what happens to liars?

No use killing me.

I haven't seen them.

Them?

We

showed you a portrait.

Looks like you have met them.

How many were there?

Tell us.

Where is this man?

I don't know.

So young

but so stubborn.

Yi Luo.

Yi Luo.

Yi Luo.

Yi Luo.

Yi Luo,

after the war,

let's visit mountains and rivers.

Really?

Promise?

I must go to the market

and buy beautiful rouge and face powder.

Yi Luo,

we agreed

that after the war,

we'll travel over mountains and rivers together.

What is this?

This is a parting gift for you.

You've never been out of the house

and never visited markets.

This is a nail polish dyed with peach blossom branches.

You can't buy it in bustling markets.

Yi Luo.

I hadn't taken you to a market.

I hadn't bought you rouge and face powder.

Yi Luo,

do not worry.

I will avenge you,

and kill that animal.

Brother horse.

We must find

the clues left by the spy.

If General Duanmu's

strategic plan is leaked,

there will be dire consequences.

Brother,

if you find something,

show me some reactions.

Where are you going?

I'm tired and hungry from walking.

Let's find a place to rest for a while.

I'll go to the city to report to His Highness

to send trackers here.

Don't.

I can find him.

Just now that lousy girl

scratched my hand.

Why were you

so hesitant?

You killed Yi Luo.

I will avenge her!
