Original subtitles

After you killed my brother,

where did you go to enjoy yourself?

Where I am going,

do I need to report to you first?

You will not listen to anything I say right now,

we will talk another day.

Good. Today, General and Qiu Shui have fought so much

but didn't see any fatigue in General. That means our General has fully recovered.

Have you guys discovered? After she fell sick, now,

she is even more agile, even stronger than before!

Yes, you're right! Look, she is still so brave and courageous!

Prince Jun, I am confused. Can you explain?

You see, General is fighting 1 against 4.

The fight gets more and more fierce

The spear in her hand

has a cold blade, shining and

every stroke is strong and sharp

The 4 of them spend a lot of strength

just taking her hits

but they are only on par with her

Good! General is mighty! We are willing to take the punishment.

Good!

The 3 of you, get to the pavilions and garden, and clean them over once

Sister-in-law, you rest

Yes!

General, it was so exciting! Prince Jun explained is so excitedly as well!

Yes! I want to fly up to the eaves,

so I can fight with you properly! My wife is so great!

Looks like Xuan-er and Mei Niang are also getting restless

Give me a bowl

Prince Jun won't allow our General a drink (of wine)

Then, General will just treat this as "jade juice" (something precious) then

Ah Zhao, today, you defeated 4 mighty martial arts expert!

Even better than you were before

I admit defeat. My wife

has become a martial arts expert now!

In future, Master Meng will not dare bully me anymore

Yu Jin

Uhh..

Do you think

I should go and kill them?

Although Master Meng has a bad mouth (talks rubbish),

a little disgusting, but not enough reason to kill him, right?

I am talking about the dogs at West Xia.

Our West Xia army

is invincible in our sieges

We occupied Song's Ju Ping Guan,

Bai Ying Zhai and

Xiao Guan. And about 10 big and small towns

Now is considered the most critical time

My fellow patriarchs,

we must have an ample collection of food

to support those at the frontier at war

Chief of Yeli tribe,

say something, won't you?

Great King,

Ever since we started war against Song,

the Yeli family has donated approximately

30,000 cows, sheep and camels to the frontier

We have just bought 10,00 young of the cows, sheep and camels

still in captivity in the grasslands

but not ready to be slaughtered

Great King, I can only try my best

to purchase up to

the military needs

but now, the prices have all gone up.

There is a lack of supply, so

I am afraid it would be hard to have enough.

Great King,

basically all the adults of the flocks

have been sent to the frontier.

Great King,

now, the Songs have stopped all trade with us (economic blockade),

we can only go to the Liaos to buy the animals.

Yes, Great King, we are trying very hard to come up with ways.

Great King,

the Mo Zhang family is willing to present to you

50,000 cows, sheep and camels to be sent to the frontier.

Good!

The needs at the frontier, Mo Zhang E-Pang,

see to it quickly.

Yes, Great King.

I have another announcement to make today

From henceforth,

Grand Chief Mo Zang E-Pang

will be transferred to the Royal Family Guards, as their leader.

This..

Thank you, my King.

Mo Zhang E-Pang, stay behind

The rest of you, depart. Yes, Great King.

Mo Zhang E-Pang,

are you willing to stay by my side from now on?

I am willing, King, to stay and be loyal to you.

Good. You are truly a true character of a man.

Just like your sister, Mo Zhang Black Clouds.

What you say, you say it directly, never mince your words. I like it.

Thank you, Great King, for your favour upon us.

What?

You said Prince Qi's adopted daughter wants to come visit us?

Yes, absolutely true! We just received the notification from the Crown Prince.

There may be trouble

When the lady comes and realises that she doesn't know anyone of us,

then the cat will be out of the bag!

That's easy! When she comes, we will just kill her!

Kill what, kill! You kill her, you think we can still escape?

Wherever I die, I refuse to die in West Xia. I am waiting to kill them!

I have heard that this Prince Qi

roped in a whole group of songstress. This girl

may be coerced as well, to come to

West Xia.

In name, she is the adopted daughter of Prince Qi. But just maybe,

she could be a spy that Prince Qi placed beside the Crown Prince.

Let's do this.

This girl may not have seen all the men in

Prince Qi's residence anyway.

When she comes, we will use the excuse

of military confidence and avoid the sensitive questions that she may raise.

What do you think?

This is a good idea.

Miss Liu?

Military councillor!

Miss Liu! How could it be you?

Councillor, don't worry

Crown Prince felt that we are both servants of Prince Qi's household,

so he left us some time to chat.

I heard from the military news that you have died at the battlefield

How.. how are you back from the dead? Hu Qing cheated death

I didn't die in the battle together with General Liu

I am ashamed. The Heavens have protected you.

But my uncle..

has long become a spiritual hero

Miss Liu,

my condolence.

General Liu's heroic bravery

I will remember in my heart forever

This score (with the enemy)

we will definitely settle it!

So, the person joining hands with Yinuo to kill Yeli Yu Qi is you guys

You do so so openly, it will be discovered by the West Xia King!

Miss Liu, don't worry.

I know the cost

The internal conflict within West Xia is fierce,

even though the King has seemingly fallen into my trap,

and killed Yeli Yu Qi,

the truth is, he long had that thought!

Yeli Yu Qi's sister was enthroned as the Queen

Her uncle played the role of an important minister within the court

The Yeli family is like the sky (or pillar)

He looks at them as a threat to his throne

Actually the West Xia King has been looking for an opportune time to get rid of Yeli Yu Qi We have merely provided him with that precious opportunity

Moreover, we have even helped him to get

Mo Zhang Black Clouds, whom he has been coveting for a long time

Councillor is right.

When one is too persistently lusting for something, it makes one confused.

Right now, the Palace is heavy with contradiction

Crown Prince Ha-er Dun and Prince Yinuo are infighting

The West Xia King and Prince Qi are colluding

They look like allies on the front, but they both have ulterior motives

Their aim is the same though

and that is to destroy Song

Miss Liu,

you are in a dangerous position

I am worried about you. When there is a chance,

let's go back together!

Go back?

Do you think

I can still return?

Why can't you return?

General

General has been missing you. Everyday, she has been looking forward

to reunite with you.

Reunite?

General

(poetry) At the end of the decade

Who is listening to the

one singing?

Uncle died in the battlefield

General

is now Prince Jun's official wife

In the vast land of Song,

there is no place for me

She... Is she well?

General

General fell ill.

Ill?

What happened to her?

Concubine Yang was jealous of her

She poisoned her

Her heart was poisoned. Now..

How is she now?

Now, she is in the midst of recovering

Miss Liu

You really don't intend to return to your motherland?

I awoke once in my dream

I am one who had died once before

Xian Nu Shang is

a piece of chess from Prince Qi to another king.

Now, I was fortunate to have met a good man

The Crown Prince favours me

I became his fiancé

I am already very contented

If I return,

it will only put her in a difficult position.

I have cried all I want,

I have created a din.

If I stay here,

I can still maintain my last share of dignity.

I don't want to put her in a difficult position again

Or onto myself anymore.

Miss Liu,

don't tell me

you are willing to stay here in Xia for the rest of your life?

I have made up my mind

You don't have to say anymore, Councillor

Miss Liu,

When General received your letter,

she forwarded it to the Emperor.

Now that both sides are at war,

Prince Qi is still unaware

I believe that the Emperor is awaiting the opportune time

That's right

In a few days' time,

the Queen will organise an engagement ceremony

for me and Ha-er Dun

You should take the opportunity to escape

We have now reached this stage

I am hoping to stay on to find out more about the military situation so that we can plan our next step

Oh, that's right. Yinuo gave the King a plan

They are preparing to do a surprise attack on Yan Zhou

From behind, attack Wei Zhou, and press forward to the Eastern Capital city

and destroy Song.

Yin is indeed

a cunning man,

If he succeeds,

Song will be in danger.

Guests, it is now quite late,

Councillor, please remember not to contact me directly

I will find another opportunity to meet with you again

Take care. Take care.

See you, Miss Liu

Fox, how did Miss Liu end up here?

Is she going to return to Song with us?

I think she might not come back with us

How do we answer to the General when we return?

She is now the Crown Prince's fiancé, her aim is too big

We can't force our way to bring her away

But is she willing to stay in West Xia to marry Ha-er Dun and spend the rest of her days here?

She probably wants to use her position as the Crown Prince's fiancé

to do something for Song

But..

From my understanding of her,

she is a very stubborn and near-justified woman

Both parents died in the hands of the Liao army

Uncle Liu Tian Tuo died as a result of a trap

How would she be wiling to succumb into the hands of the enemy?

This..

Besides,

her feelings towards our General

has yet to be ironed out.

Great King, it is late

let's return to the palace to rest

You go back first, I still have matters to attend to

Three days from now is an auspicious day for engagement of the Crown Prince

You should go and join them for a drink

The Crown Prince getting engaged?

Which tribe is the girl from?

Have you forgotten? This girl is not one of the daughters of the

tribes of West Xia,

She is Prince Qi's songstress, Miss Xian-er

I remember now

I think there was something like that

Since the girl is only a songstress, I think

there's no necessity for the Crown Prince

to have any engagement ceremony with her.

You are unaware, Great King,

This girl is unlike any of our West Xia girls, she is

well educated, music and arts - she is well versed in them all

She is actually from a well-to-do family

Because her hometown experienced flood, she was washed away by the flood

Caused her amnesia and she had forgotten all her past

Prince Qi then adopted her

In my opinion, the Crown Prince

is deeply in love with her

Ha-er Dun is at a marriageable age

As long as you think she is suitable, do as you please

Great King,

I am hoping that you would attend this

ceremony together with me

In front of everybody, let Miss Xian-er know her place

At the same time, let Prince Qi know that

we are very satisfied with the girl he sent

You are indeed more thoughtful

We still have use for Prince Qi

We must not offend him

Yes, Great King

Reporting

Reporting to the King, Prince Yinuo captured the frontier at Lou Zi Guan

All 7 large and small cities. Let me see it!

Zhao Zhen, you are dead this time, it won't be long before I can take down the Eastern Capital city and own the whole world!

Great King,

Congratulations, my King

You go back first, I still have things to do

Yes

The Queen

Mo Zhang, instead of properly observing the grieving period for my brother,

what are you doing here?

Black Clouds, come here

How is the matter with your brother?

Great King, I came to thank you

Thank me?

Thank me for what? Thank you for giving my brother a position

Mo Zhang E-Pang

is a lad who can do big things later.

Let him first train as the leader of the Royal Guards

When the time is right,

I will have more important things for him to manage

Great King,

Thank you, King

for your favour upon my brother

He is your blood brother

At the same time, he is also

mine.

My beauty...

West Xia army

swept through the walls

They are invincible

They invaded our

Ju Ping Guan,

Bai Ying Zhai,

10 over big and small towns over Xiao Guan

Let's eat first. Then, we think of some solutions

Yu Jin,

you tell me

If you were me,

what would you do?

The Emperor and the ministers all don't need you

But this family needs you.

But if we lose the country, we lose the home too

West Xia army is hard to penetrate

We are at the edge of emergency

How can I stay at home and be a coward?

How can you say it's being cowardly?

You are but a common Song woman

You are a wife

Serve your husband

In about 2 years, you would be nurturing and educating your children

You should live the life that you have

Song women

will always be trampled upon,

be ravaged on

like an eternal slave

There won't be such a day

Even if the sky falls on us, we have the tall people to block it,

we have the Emperor (uncle), we have Minister Fan and there is me too.

Song women

will definitely not have to suffer such fate

Yu Jin,

who said that in this world,

men will always be stronger than the women?

As a man, you must protect the woman?

We are at the edge of emergency,

don't you want to watch me kill all of them personally?

Prince Nan Ping entering the courts

Zhao Yu Jin reporting. Please allow Geneal Ye Zhao of the Ye family

to put on her armour again (reinstate her),

allow her to lead the wolf army to fight against the West Xia at the border

to return the lands to us Songs! (Emperor's thoughts:) The hardest

name to say,

someone has finally said it.

Rise

Emperor, Zhao has recommended his own family member (like promoting one's own kin to high position) it is not right, not right

When the mother hen cries, the family will split (idiom)

The world is a mess

No good, no good! Prince Jun is from the royal family, it's okay even if he doesn't serve the country, but how can he suggest his own wife to go to the battlefield?

Women cannot take official titles

We cannot change the rules of the ancestors

But imperial decrees can be faked?

How about the plaque at Xiu Shui Zhou - how is that truth?

West Xia women can ride on wild horses, trained to be strengthened,

put on their uniform and enter the army,

why did the Heavens not punish them?

Mu Gui Ying of the Qing Dynasty She guarded the border instead of her husband, she is infamous

What was wrong with that?

Our late Empress Liu helped the Emperor to the throne,

sat behind the drape to hear all the court matters,

Right now, the world is at peace, the country is stable

Why didn't anyone say "When the mother hen cries, the family will split (idiom)"

that kind of nonsense?

Emperor,

General Ye was born in the Northern part, grew up there

familiar with the Northern military tactics

She is both fierce and courage,good at organising the army, proficient in military plans. In the defence against Liao,

she personally killed the highest-ranked general, Yelu Da Dan.

She has also fought with the West Xia General Yinuo

Yinuo lost to her

This time, in our defence against the West Xia,

no one is more suitable than her.

That's right,

I am my wife's slave

a useless bum,

is clay that cannot stick on the wall (hopeless),

but that's okay

If the world wants to laugh at me,

let them laugh! I only know

in the northern alleyway,

there lives a 70-year old mother

who cried herself blind.

Her four sons

all died at the border with West Xia

Also, in the Eastern street, there is a lad who has just gone to war

the wife whom he has just married for 3 days

has become a widow.

I, Zhao Yu Jin, is not very learned

don't know about rules,

don't know about state affairs

but, Ministers,

From a scholar,

to a capable person,

please open your eyes wide

and look at these

mothers who have lost their sons,

wives who have lost their husbands,

and the children who have lost their fathers.

Put all these rules aside

put your hand at your heart and listen to your conscience

Ye Zhao

is she the most suitable military personnel to be sent to the war?

Prince Nan Ping spoke from his heart

In times of national emergency, he recommended his own wife

to be allowed to put on the armour again, fight against the enemy,

protect our border. This is an act of a great gentleman

It is our nation's blessing (to have a person like him)

I implore with you to agree to the request.

Emperor,

Ye Zhao was recently weakened and was recovering at home for some time

If we were to allow her to put on the armour and go to war,

I am afraid that there might be a delay.

My brilliant ancestors

if the Heavens allow my wife to go back to war,

and blame the Song,

then come charge at me.

I, Zhao Yu Jin, will bear

all consequences!

All men in the court

not even worthy of one woman!

I see all these and feel so frustrated!

Confer!

Heavenly Grand General of the Army (title) Ye Zhao

will be the border's main commander

to conquer West Xia,

recover all Song's land and rivers.

The Emperor is wise!

Long live the Emperor

I receive the edict,

and am grateful.

I have successfully done my duty

cruelly, sent the woman I love to the unrelenting war path

Next,

what else can I do?

Zhao Yu Jin,

you this weak cat (used to describe someone sickly)

can't pull the bow, can't exert any strength

You are but a useless thing

The most useless of useless things on earth

(throwback) My husband is now the fledgling of a hawk (someone inexperienced)

But a fledgling will eventually spread its wings

Like the rest of the eagles,

soar to the blue skies!

Ah Zhao, you are wrong

I can only see you soar to the blue sky

For the first time in my life, I hate the fact that I am powerless

Ah Zhao,

can I really soar to the sky

and fly together with you?

(chattering) This is a mega happy occasion

It is about time

He is finally getting engaged

Yes, yes

Please, please sit

Please. Come, come

Yes

So happy for the Crown Prince

heard she's a beauty

compatible with our Crown Prince

so happy

Queen,

All the guests have arrived and the auspicious hour is here

The ceremony may begin now

Thank you all tribe leaders for coming to the Crown Prince's engagement ceremony. The auspicious hour is here

The ceremony officially begins

That's right

Please take your seats

Yes, yes, yes

Please. Come. Sit.

Yes, she is so pretty.

Crown Prince's fiancé is a real beauty

Crown Prince's fiancé is really comparable to Mo Zhang Black Clouds

Miss Xian-er

and my sister, they both have their own individual beauty

they are both able to illuminate the hearts of men

The Crown Prince is really fortunate

Queen Mother. Greetings to the Queen Mother.

Today is the engagement ceremony of my Crown Prince

The 8 chief tribal leaders and their wives are able to be present,

it is our Crown Prince's honour

and our West Xia's happy occasion

Congratulations, the Queen

Xian-er,

in West Xia, the saying is that there can be no marriage without silver

This collar necklace from the Qiang tribe is my gift to you.

From now on, you are the Crown Prince's fiancé,

you are also our Yeli family's daughter-in-law.
