Big brother.

Be careful all the way.

I'm waiting for your return at the booth.

Alright.

Wait for me.

General Qi.

What happened?

We lost the fight.

I heard when Mao Hai Feng

was besieged in Port Cen,

he had less than a thousand men.

But our army mobilized nearly a thousand people.

In the end, we couldn't attack.

Is there anything special about Port Cen?

Yes.

The area near Cen Port is rough

with numerous mountain ranges, cliffs, and valleys.

It's the dangerous terrain, easy defended, hard attacked.

If so, there might be no other breakthroughs.

Before this department, sir Wu told me.

The Japanese pirates blocked

all the entrances.

Should there be any path left, it must be dangerous.

The terrain that's so easy to wrap around,

General Yu must have known it,

why did he risk attacking?

Initially, General Yu thought

defeating Mao Hai Feng required little effort.

Unexpectedly, Army tactics, Navy tactics,

Mao Hai Feng

repelled our attack in succession.

Mrs. Min.

These days, you're living here,

should you need anything, don't hesitate to tell me.

You're now pitying me,

or mocking at me?

Both are wrong.

I just based on our fate.

Furthermore,

for a few days at Chunyu's house

I received the care of Mrs.

Stop pretending.

How unmannerly.

There is someone that you don't see now,

you will never see them for the rest of your life.

General Qi,

General Yu helped you and others

arranged the tent.

He invited you to have a drink.

Please follow me.

Alright.

Who are you two?

This is the military camp,outsiders are not allowed to enter.

Please leave.

The Imperial Guard, assistant commissioner Lu Yi.

I have something important to negotiate with General Yu.

Please pass on my word.

The Imperial Guards.

It's Sir Wu that ordered me to bring them here.

You mustn't be impolite to them.

Yes, sir.

Then, please follow me.

What kind of attitude did a soldier show us?

I told you before.

Soldiers in the military camp and on the court are different.

Just get used to it.

Endure the pain.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Wash for him.

Yes.

Yes.

General.

Outside, there is a person who called himself

The Imperial Guard, assistant commissioner, Sir Lu Yi.

He came with General Qi, he said that he wanted to meet you.

I haven't been to the court for such a long time that

I forgot those idlers.

Sir.

Why is general Yu so self-important?

We've been waiting here for 1 hour.

The general has big concerns.

Naturally, we have to wait.

General.

Are you Lu Yi?

The son of The Imperial Guard, commander Lu Ting?

Yes.

I came to the coastal area this time as I have something

to negotiate with you.

I have nothing to do with The Imperial Guards.

General.

Don't rush.

Assistant commissioner Lu, right?

You haven't eaten yet, have you?

Xiang Zi.

Yes, sir.

Take assistant commissioner Lu to have a meal.

After he finishes eating, set him up.

After I'm done with the military affairs,

I will meet you again.

After a fight,

general Yu seems quite tired.

Please understand him, Sir Lu.

Why are you talking so much?

Please follow me to have a meal.

If general Yu is busy,

please excuse me.

Please.

Hello.

May I ask a question?

Is it the direction to Cen Port?

Cen Port? Yes.

You will arrive there if continuing from here for a while.

Thank you.

Don't go there.

There was a fight at Port Cen.

All troops were wild and panicking.

If you go there alone, it won't be safe.

It's okay.

I have one more question.

Have you seen a group of monks along the way?

A group of monks?

Yes, yes.

Today morning, we saw a group of monks.

They had weapons in hand.

Heading towards Port Cen.

Was there a girl with them?

A girl?

Maybe.

There was a girl.

Yes, thank you.

How can we eat these?

I'm not a picky eater.

But sir can't eat these.

You can eat them,

then why can't I?

Look, we have salty food and vegan food.

No different from a soldier's common meal.

Eat, it's delicious.

Little brother.

I see that you're still a kid,

how can you be highly valued by the general?

Sir.

I'm no longer a kid.

How old are you?

Sir, I'm 14.

You're just 14,

but you said you're not a kid.

Sir, a person who is 14 is not a kid anymore.

The general said to wait another 2 years,

he would allow me to get on the boat and learn how to use rockets.

What?

Do you like firearms?

You can learn from the general,

perhaps you will get an opportunity in the future.

You might even enter the Divine Engine Division.

No.

I want to follow the general to beat the Japanese pirates.

I won't go anywhere.

He's really a kid.

General Yu has just arrived and he hasn't eaten yet.

You should eat first.

I'm going to prepare another portion for him.

Does general Yu eat these?

Yes, he does.

This Yu Dang Yong laid us aside.

How self-important he is.

What kind of stature did he try to boast in front of us?

He has the army anyway,

he's a great advantage over me.

But he shouldn't be rude to us like that.

Just see how he just treated us.

If he was only a rogue and

all mouth,

for so many years,

why could he assume so much work?

He was also harmed so many times,

and harbored so many grievances.

To us, too.

It is understandably

inconvenient for him in the officialdom.

He can even bring the army to fight the enemies now.

I feel weird.

Nothing weird.

He's a skilled person anyway.

Senior brother, what's wrong?

The Japanese pirates.

Damn it!

Ling Er doesn't know kung fu.

Protect Ling Er, leave the rest to me.

Alright.

Ling Er, come down here.

Senior brothers, junior brothers.

Stay close, we're almost there.

Alright.

Brother Yang.

Brother Yang.

Dad, are you okay?

I'm okay.

Not enough to die.

Senor sister, listen.

Sounds like a fight.

Master said

on the way to Port Cen,

we would encounter bandits.

Let's come there and take a closer look.

Let's go.

Go.

Uncle Yang, are you alright?

Miss Shang Guan.

Why are you looking blankly at me? You wanna die?

Ling Er, watch out.

Dad, how are you?

- Dad. | - Uncle Yang, are you alright?

- Uncle Yang. | - Brother Yang.

It's okay.

Yang Yue.

Hurry up and take him to the carriage.

- Alright! | - Ling Er.

Check how he is wounded.

Alright.

- Dad, I help you. | - Follow me.

Come on, let's go.

Slowly.

Come on.

General.

Wait.

Let's talk after I finish eating.

General, help yourself.

I'm not in a hurry.

Sorry for being impolite.

We are soldiers marching to the battlefield and fighting.

We can eat this meal, but we can't eat the next.

Not accustomed to the slow-eating style.

The weather is nice now.

If it gets just a little colder,

the goat meat is brought,

a slice of goat's butter

will be tasteless.

That time, when I went beyond the border,

I tried this taste.

I thought

assistant commissioner Lu is just a young master in the capital.

I don't expect that you went beyond the border.

I don't know what sir Wu said in his letter means.

I'm here this time...

Assistant commissioner Lu.

You're the savior.

Sir Wu said in his letter.

Ask me to cooperate with you to investigate

the fighting situation of the coastal border in recent years.

Of course, I don't dare to disobey the order.

Assistant commissioner Lu.

These things are

referring to the situation to fight the Japanese pirates in Zhoushan.

The Imperial Guards you want to examine these,

it's just a piece of cake.

There is no need for me to talk more.

If you're interested in tactic discussion,

I will ask someone to inform you when it comes.

General Yu.

Assistant commissioner Lu.

Feel free to stay here and investigate gradually.

I still have military affairs to deal with.

No time to serve you any longer.

Sir.

You can see him just now.

I'm afraid that Wu Shou Xu's letter is helpless.

General Yu misunderstood that I'm here to supervise the army.

Endure the pain a bit.

Endure the pain a bit.

Senior sister.

Slowly.

Senior sister.

Junior brother Wu's arms and legs are injured.

Hurry up and bandage him.

Alright.

Stay still.

It's gonna be okay.

Come on, let me see.

Doctor Lin.

How is my father's wound?

Luckily, his internal organs are unharmed.

Or else,

it would be hard for me to cure.

Dad.

It's all my fault to be so late.

I'm quite familiar with your pathetic moves.

You're fast only when picking up the kitchen knife.

Come to think of it.

If I had the fighting skills that year,

I could avoid that blade.

The hero of that year was gone.

You're old.

Now you're wounded.

Don't come to the battlefield.

Yes.

I think Ling Er is right.

Yang Yue, how about this?

Take him home first, so he can rest for a few days.

Alright.

Dad, I'll take you to find Jin Xia.

Alright.

Try to recuperate.

It will get better fast.

Alright, I know.

Thanks.

Thank you, sister.

You're welcome.

Miss Shang Guan.

Come with me a bit.

Slowly.

I have something to tell you.

If so, just say it.

Don't touch.

That day, as soon as I left,

I regretted it.

Regretted?

What did you regret?

I regretted...

This...

You're really stupid.

If you have nothing to say, I'll leave.

Don't.

Don't go.

I regretted saying that I would never see you.

I regretted refusing your care.

I regretted being cold to you.

I've thought it through.

From now on, I will protect you.

I will never take you away from me.

You stay.

You must be careful.

Dad.

Do you feel better?

Yes, I do.

Thank you, doctor Lin.

You're so polite.

Right.

How is the scar on your face?

It itches a little bit.

Don't scratch.

You must keep using the medicine.

Only by flaying skin 3 times

can the scar disappear

Then... then, can it be restored to the original appearance?

Rest assured.

You will be as handsome as you were.

Dad.

I have one more thing that needs your permission.

What's it?

Miss Shang Guan and I.

I hope that you

will fulfill my wish.

Wait for it to end,

I'd like you to come to the Shang Guan family to put forth an alliance-seeking request.

As long as Miss Shang Guan agrees,

it'll be a good thing.

Senior sister.

It's not disadvantageous for you to be his wife.

This muscular nerd,

you must control him.

Alright, it's settled.

Brother Yang, you're so lucky.

Uncle Yang.

You're seriously wounded.

Please go back to the town and rest up.

Alright.

Right, Xiao Er.

Don't forget to kill some Japanese pirates for me.

Uncle Yang, you're belittling me.

I refer to kill all the Japanese pirates.

Great boast.

Alright, I will wait.

We should depart now.

Otherwise, when we arrive at the general's place, it'll be very late.

Uncle Yang.

Take care.

Bailiff Yang.

Take care.

Take care.

Senior brothers, junior brothers.

We're going to depart.

Alright. Let's go.

People who are injured should stay here.

Don't rush to depart.

Alright.

The 13th junior brother.

Take care of them.

Alright.

Let's prepare to go.

Xiao Er.

He's got more and more aura of the gangmaster.

He's really similar to his father that year.

Brother Yang.

Please excuse us.

Alright.

See you later.

Go. Let's go.

Uncle Yang.

So...

Take care.

Take care.

You must be careful.

Wait for me to marry you.

Don't worry.

Let's go.

Go.

Senior sister. Congrats.

Go. Let's go.

Sir.

Sir, this file has something wrong.

Nothing wrong with this file.

It's just... The situation of Port Cen on the coast

is more serious than I estimated.

You see.

Port Cen is indeed similar to what general Qi said.

The terrain is complex.

Mao Hai Feng was like struggling among wild beasts.

In fact, this situation

is unfavorable for us.

General Yu is proficient in the military.

He might know that the assault only led to a loss of military power.

It's impossible to face difficulties.

Were there really no other ways?

The only option was to attack at sea?

These Japanese pirates are good at naval battles.

He must have considered this,

so he ultimately chose the hard path.

For Wu Shou Xu and Yu Da Yong,

they must win this fight.

Sir.

It's nearly 1 o'clock.

You should rest.

You can rest first.

I have to finish reading this file of Port Cen.

Yes, sir.

I don't know if sir is doing well there.

Has he been troubled?

He is the imperial guard.

He's always troubled others.

Who dares to cause trouble to him?

Be careful.

The curiosity will kill a feral cat like you.

Sir.

You don 't need to keep me.

I'm inadequate.

It's late already.

Leave tomorrow.

We'll never meet again.

I see when you're not ill,

you're not smarter.

Lu Yi.

Appetite comes with eating.

Sir.

What are you doing?

Do you miss me?

Wait for me.

Sir told me to wait for him,

but I haven't replied to him yet.

Sir, you've been reading it the whole night.

Take a rest.

I'm okay.

Assistant commissioner Lu has been here the whole night.

I want to quickly grasp

the fighting situation between general Yu and the Japanese pirates.

Now, all the people on the court are worrying.

The collusion between mandarins and the Japanese pirates happens several times.

I think

assistant commissioner Lu you came here

to investigate this, didn't you?

Then let me clarify.

We soldiers here dedicate ourselves to the country.

What falls to the ground is our blood.

The battle is now in a tussling status.

The emergence of The Imperial Guards will only disturb the military's heart.

The general seems

hostile to The Imperial Guards us.

Yes.

The Imperial Guards don't need to be liked.

However, the officers' vision is

different from people's anyway.

You may rest assured, general.

Even though I'm good at nothing,

I came here

to do my best.

General.

General.

Imperial decree.

The imperial decree came.

Yu Da Yong, accept the imperial decree.

By the mandate of heaven, this Emperor decree hereby.

Zhejiang General, Yu Da Yong, unable to fight.

Within 1 month, you must conquer Port Cen.

If it can't be occupied when the deadline comes,

all the troops under the general must be dismissed and under investigation.

With his Majesty's Royal Blessing.

Yes, Your Majesty.

It turns out his Majesty

always cares about the fight in Port Cen.

How worrying.

I bet that you got it now.

Why did sir Wu not object

to me coming to the military camp to inquire into the collusion with the enemies.

So it seems he already knew the fight on the coast

was stagnated.

Many people are making things up in court.

His Majesty doesn't know what to do.

After I came here,

I got the evidence

there is a reason for many towns in this coastal area not to be attacked.

By no means is it because of the collusion with the Japanese pirates.

I'm a general, but I'm not allowed to fight.

Am I forced to look like The Imperial Guards

who check people's privacy every day?

You devote yourself for the national interest,

I really admire you.

Nonetheless, I don't know if the general has ever thought about this.

The fighting is extremely tense.

The general is not sociable.

Doesn't that mean you're giving Wu Shou Xu

the role of a victim?

I don't believe that.

Assistant commissioner Lu.

Don't try to provoke the alienation.

It's okay that you don't believe.

I just want to remind you.

Besides,

I want to go to the armory.

Do you allow me?

Yes, of course, if assistant commissioner Lu wants to.

But I'm going to summon my entire army.

How about this?

Shall I let Xiang Zi take you?

Thank you, general.

All mines are destroyed.

We should stop our business.

Sir Yan.

You must kill that Lu Yi.

What?

Could it be that sir Yan isn't able to deal with an imperial guard...

This is Japanese wine.

Yes.

Big master Mao.

What's wrong?

How is

the mutual business plan with Japan?

I originally intended to occupied Port Cen, of which location is the best.

And then open up the traffic between the interior and Japan.

Never thought

Yu Da Yong blocked me at all costs,

He was unwilling to retreat.

Now,

only when Yu Da Yong is killed

can I truly have Port Cen

in order to possess Port Tun like the Farangi.

Wherever we want to trade, we just deliver goods there by sea.

Sir Yan.

Based on your power on the court,

dealing with Yu Da Yong is not hard.

So bis master Mao invited me here

as you want me to help you solve Yu Da Yong.

You want to use my Yan family's power

to overthrow Yu Da Yong on the court

and help you win this fight.

But I'm a businessman, not a traitor.

You're the one who fights, not me.

The one who opposes the court is you.

Not me.

I thought

sir Yan's aspiration is

to gain this world.

How dare you?

Do you want me to rebel?

That's not what I meant.

I will never be the pioneer.

I won't be the boss when I can be the man under him.

After all, if the boss is under my control,

this world will be still mine.

Such a master.

Sir Yan is really brilliant.

Alright.

Since you confided in me,

I also stated my position.

Then, how about this?

As long as you defeat Yu Da Yong,

I won't leave him any chance to stand firm on the court.

I'll help you eliminate a thorn in your flesh.

What do you think?

Okay.

Then, one more person.

Childe is asking who you're talking about.

Wu Shou Xu.

Alright.

Right.

Like her?

It's nice that you like her. Then, she's my gift for you.

Zhai Lan Ye.

From now on, you'll stay here to serve big master Mao.

Childe, I...

Serve him well.

Don't displease big master Mao.

If he loses this fight,

you'll be to blame.

Thank you, sir Yan.

I don't like others casually touching my stuff.

But I like giving my people away.

I will treat you well.

Did you give Zhai Lan Ye to Mao Hai Feng

on purpose?

Didn't she tell Dong Qi Sheng

to catch Lin Ling and give her to Mao Hai Feng?

As she failed,

let her dedicate herself to Mao Hai Feng.

Then will you return the capital?

Yes.

Sir, your letter.

Apart from these three words,

is there anything else?

Sir, what did you just ask me?

Nothing.

Sir.

General Yu had someone conveyed his word that

tells us to go check the armory.

There are treasures of the general in this armory,

but he asked you to oversee here.

You're indeed treated as his honored guest.

Sir.

General Yu is governing the army quite rigorously.

Each weapon

is required to be wiped dry.

Of course.

Not just these weapons.

The gunpowder depot is also heavily guarded.

No permission for the unauthorized within 1 feet.

How many times did general Yu attack by sea?

After Zhoushan,

he attacked by sea 5 times.

The ports here are very long,

The ship will be pinched on three sides as soon as it enters.

Some of our ships were sunk by artillery.

This artillery could be the ranged weapon on the ship, right?

How far?

About dozens of feet.

Dozens of feet?

Then you can attack directly

the Japanese pirates' ships hiding in the ports.

Yes.

But the artillery's lethality is limited.

It can only burn the Japanese pirates' sails.

Inadequate to defeat the enemy.

It'll be better if their ships are drawn out.

Unfortunately, they're very cunning.

No matter how we provoked from the outside,

they wouldn't come out and keep hiding in the port.

That's why general Yu could only attack by land.

The general had no other choices.

Several ships were sunk,

the allowance is little.

We couldn't afford even artillery,

not to mention rebuilding warships.

They were able to attack neither by sea

nor by land.

The emperor has to dismiss him from his post to conduct the investigation.

General Yu was forced to this point.

The burden on him isn't ordinary.

I was kind to you,

why did you want to kill me?

I hate you.

I hate that you ruined my whole life.

You made your life yourself.

What does it have to do with me?

If you hadn't disguised yourself as a man, saved me,

I wouldn't have admired you.

If you and my brother didn't love each other,

I wouldn't envy you.

If...

If I hadn't married Si Ma Chang An,

I wouldn't be in this situation today.

I would have a different life.

You are stupid.

Until now, you haven't known

why you become like this, have you?

It's right.

I dressed up as a man for fun,

and happened to save you.

But if that day, the person who saved you was another,

you would admire him.

Plus,

do you truly love sir?

Or, is it because you hate me

that you don't want to see me happy?

You harmed me before,

now you intended to kill me.

Do you hate me that much?

This is not important.

My fate is up to the others.

Even my life is not mine.

Wrong.

This knife is the type hidden by martial artists

in case of an emergency.

You can't have it.

Who gave it to you?

Say.
