Original subtitles

Father, I want to use this chance to train myself

Military matters, not appropriate for

girls to participate

Father

let me be the envoy for this negotiation

and let me travel with the group

Negotiation is not going to the fair

Why would you want to go and join the crowd?

Father, didn't you always wish

that I would be a real children of the Great Xia?

The wings of the eagle, if no experience with wind and rain,

how can they fly in the sky?

Let me tell you

No matter how you bribe me today, it's useless

Father,

The little fox on the pasture land has grown up

even the fox mother has to chase the little fox out of the house so that they can find food independently

I don't want to keep living under your wings

Fine, fine..stop shaking

I am giddy from all your shaking

Let's do it this way. This time,

you can join the group as part of the envoy

but you must remember

you can't say anything

in everything, you have to listen to Yinuo

Thank you for allowing, Father

Also, Father,

you must drink less wine, hmm?

This child...

I really don't know how to handle with her

General Ye, that was what happened

This is

the letter that the lady gave me

Zhao,

West Xia has secretly gotten into position 200,000 soldiers

Do not act rashly

Get the spy to observe the military situation

When I send out the signal via smoke fireworks

Your army can then come in

By the hands of Xi Ying

Minister Hai, what does the lady look like?

She is exceptionally beautiful, a face that one would find it hard to forget after seeing her

This lady must have wanted me to deliver this letter

but she has her difficulties

she couldn't find the opportunity. So, she purposely used her words to provoke me

And in the presence of many people, when our bodies were close,

she shoved the letter unto my chest

She is indeed a brave and and wise

strange lady

Minister Hai

This lady is my younger cousin sister

Her name is Liu Xi Ying

I have already long known that she's trapped there

I was hoping to rescue her out during the turmoil of war

But I have yet been able to do that

General

From the looks of it, Miss Liu

has a very close relationship with the West Xia King. Moreover,

she is being pampered.

I am not sure

what Miss Liu is really trying to do

My cousin discarded her self esteem

don't tell me

she really wants to

"fall like a jade, wither like a flower" ?(idiom: sacrifice and die)

I've underestimated her decisiveness

But the nation of Song

will really depend on the life of a weak lady?

Minister Hai

this secret letter is a military confidential matter

please keep strict confidence

General , not to worry

I shall take my leave

Cousin sister has helped you to sweep clean the obstacles towards the path of victory

She is in West Xia

on this seemingly solid foundation , trying to pull out a small crack way

just waiting for the last sound of thunder

Through the earthly cracks, the flood will overwhelm, bursting the dam

My cousin is a real hero

Father can sacrifice

Mother can sacrifice

Brothers can sacrifice, cousin can sacrifice

Thousands and ten thousands of soldiers can sacrifice

Why can't you sacrifice your own child?

To protect the homeland, and die on the battlefield

it is the utmost glory

I am sorry

I am sorry, my child

Even though you are not yet born, we are already separated

All the sins

are on me

Put this arm lower, understand?

And you, your waist must be stable. like this

Come

Again

General

Old Wang

Go get ready the "sky flower powder" (ie medication for abortion)

Great King, the peace talk this time is really clever

Using soldiers as the blackmail

(idiom) we are doing something they least expected

we are using this tactic well, surely we will win

Mr Hu, you truly have good sight

Peace talk is merely a strategy

But, ever since the peace talk,

the West Xia army is in the state of rest

I wonder when will you be taking your next step?

Military requirements have not been put in place yet

you tell me, how can I start the war?

You can go back and report to Prince Qi

our cooperation has conditions within

The issue of military requirements, the earlier he resolves them,

the earlier we can start war against Song

Alright, I will definitely report it to Prince Qi

Great King, I have another matter

I wonder, at your departure this time round

will you still be using your state councillor, Yeli Ren Rong?

After Yeli Yu Qi is dead, Yeli Ren Rong

is guarding Tian Du Mountain in the meantime

When we attack Song the next time, I plan

to let him cooperate with Yinuo at war

But

you are really not worried about him?

Yeli Ren Rong is our West Xia pioneer

loyal and dependable

Why should I be worried about him?

But

I heard that, after Yeli Yu Qi's death,

Yeli Ren Rong

harbours dissatisfaction towards the King

Whom did you hear it from?

It's only hearsay, probably there's a misunderstanding in there

The Great King should not bear it in your heart, so that it does not jeopardise

your relationship with Yeli Ren Rong

Mr Hu

Here I have a letter, please deliver it quickly to

Prince Qi

Yes

I shall take my leave

Prince Zhao Rui, seeing the letter is like meeting in person

right now, my Xia is fighting fiercely with Song at the border

food supply is insufficient

I have started a fake peace talk with Song

waiting for the opportunity to strike. The peace talk strategy

is that I shall quietly place 200,000 soldiers to the frontier

and then strengthened by sending martial arts expert to help them

Using the soldiers as blackmail, we do the unexpected

If we use this well,

there will definitely be victory

As soon as the food supply you have promised come into place,

it is the time when my Great Xia and you, Prince,

will see the great result of our collaboration

This matter is serious

I shall beat them at their own game

allow this letter

to be delivered into the hands of Prince Qi

Let Prince Qi coordinate his actions with West Xia in launching a coup

Minister Fan Zhong Yan

Hu Qing

has since been at West Xia

changed my name to Hu Yuan

Saw with my own eyes

Prince Qi's

collusion with West Xia

Revolting is a solid truth

Recently

the West Xia King used peace talk as a hoax

as a delay strategy

getting ready to act with Prince Qi anytime

Hu Qing considered

that the Emperor has always placed heavy priority on his brotherly relationship with Prince Qi

He will not strike unless absolutely necessary

Causing this matter to land onto your hands

Minister Fan, please decide

This coup

hope that Minister Fan will be very watchful

Take the opportunity

to take down the conspiracy between Prince Qi and West Xia once and for all

Soldier Hai

What is your instruction, Councillor?

Quickly find a way to get this letter delivered to Minister Fan

Alright

On your way, pay attention to safety.

Don't worry

Greetings to the Prince

This time, the discussion between West Xia and our nation is slow

Do you know why?

It is the delay tactic by the West Xia

Believe that they will be placing their soldiers at the border with the next few days

There will be a big war

Fan Zhong Yan is still pushing for new reforms in the court today

stirring up a lot of panic

Even the Heavens is on my side

this is the opportunity I've been waiting for

The Prince is wise

Using the West Xia's power to cause internal strife

This matter

will definitely be accomplished successfully

When the matter is complete,

Fan Zhong Yan's position as the Deputy Director of the Privy Council shall be yours

In the next few days, the West Xia will send their death army over the border to help us

As to how to raise the troops,

you go and look for Liu Tai Fu and discuss with him

Thank you, Prince, for your great kindness

I will not fear death

Alright

no need to stand in ceremony

Go

Thank you, Prince

Greetings to you, Master Liu. Please rise

Thank you, Master

When does Prince Qi intend to raise the matter?

Within 10 days

Good! Master Liu,

Prince Qi said, the 5000 soldiers you have been training in the state of Bei

can now be put to use

Accumulation of power at normal times, use it when necessary.

I will now arrange for the troop to be transferred from Bei State

Master Liu,

the capital city has a lot of eyes (ie many watching)

hope that you will,

divide the brigade, scatter and hide them

You can report to Prince Qi and tell him not to worry

Stop

Who is here?

We are..

from the Prince Nanping household

General

The medicine

is ready

Wife!!

Wife!

Where's my son?

Wife! My son.. Don't need to help me, I'm fine

My son

My son will be out in a few months. In your stomach

I am most assured

What are you doing here?

I came to see you

Wife, look at you! You have lost weight

What's wrong, wife?

The Emperor has specifically asked me to come and send you clothes, medicine and to take care of you

The Emperor wants me to keep the child?

That's right

The Emperor knows about your pregnancy. At court,

he was so happy he could dance!

Did you sneak out without the Emperor knowing?

How could that be?

It was the Emperor himself who lets me come and send you clothes and medicine

Then how about your work at the inspectorate? Don't you care anymore?

Those are small matters. The Emperor has recalled my position

so that I can come and focus on taking care of you

I came straight after I thanked him

By the way,

why did you tell the Emperor about your pregnancy,

and not me?

Why is there smell of medication?

Wife, you are ill?

Deer musk, red flower, sky flower powder

This is not medicine for strengthening the womb!

Which quack doctor prescribed this medication?!

Prince Jun

Drag him out and beat him to death!

Yu Jin

Prince Jun, please spare my life!

Prince Jun, please spare my life!

Yu Jin, don't cause trouble

Wife

Old Wang, this doesn't concern you, please go.

Yes, yes. Yes, General

We can have a child in future

You said it as if it was so easy

We have been together for 3 years, you were never pregnant

But now is not the right time

Soon, I will be leading 200,000 soldiers to stand against West Xia's invasion

As the leading commander,

how can I be pregnant and give birth now?

Furthermore, I can't let the soldiers know that I am pregnant

The following few months

is going to be a fierce battle

Even when there is a glimpse of hope,

as a mother,

how would I be willing to sacrifice my own child?

I know

you are doing this to protect the country of the Zhao family

I understand all your main concerns. But within the army,

how can there be a doctor who knows how to treat a pregnant woman?

Just with that quack doctor, even when you are well, he'd say you are ill

But, wife, don't worry

I brought Imperial Physician, Meng Xing De from the capital city

Come, hurry, hurry.

Come and sit down. Let me help you

Wait for me

Meng Xing De, you know what to do, right?

Of course I know what to do

Glad that you know. Let's go

On one side is the general that the Emperor relies on heavily,

on the other is the Concubine Gui's favoured Prince Jun

Both are people who can thumb me to death!

I can't afford to offend either one

I am glad you know that. Go on in then

Alright

Greetings to the Great General

Please allow me to take your pulse

Quickly take the General's pulse

How is it?

The baby is now

a little unstable

What do you mean unstable?

Does that mean there is no more hope?

No, that's not the case.

Later, let me go get some prescription and perform some acupuncture needles on you

Then you rest for a few days

As soon as he is 4 months old, he will gradually stabilise

But, at that time,

if you want to be at the battlefield,

not that you can't, but you must pay attention. Do not fall from the horse,

do not be injured, do not catch a cold

You must protect your abdomen part well. Otherwise,

you may leave behind root cause

I understand

In that case, let me go and prepare the medication

Hurry up and go!

Be rest assured, wife

Even the Imperial Physician said you are fine

Actually,

I am not afraid of pain

or afraid that I will have root cause

If this was an ordinary battle,

I can give my commands from my tent

I don't need to be the one to charge forward

But this is a battle of life and death

The main commander charges forward, the main reason is to uplift the fighting spirit of the soldiers

So, I only need to lead and be in front

When we exchange blows,

I don't need to be fighting singly

I can find some able soldiers, be by my side to help,

We should still win the battle

That's right

As long as we have a good layout, meticulous plan

my son in your womb will be alright

But to ask me to rest for a few days,

there are already speculations that I am pregnant within the camp

If this news ever leak out,

West Xia will surely take this opportunity to attack us

Try to take me down

The art of masking

This kind of thing, just leave it to your man

Although I don't know how to command or go to war,

but, from the capital city,

I brought an army that is best at tricks

Don't worry, wife

Brother

didn't you say

that the next round of discussion is at the frontier? How come there is no movements at all?

But, you on the other hand,

have been attending military meetings everyday

This peace talk, how can one just decide when we want to have the talk?

You must first try to test out the other's party's attitude

In case the negotiation fails,

the war must be continued

But we brought up the matter of peace talk

as long as we work hard at showing them our sincerity,

I believe it will definitely succeed

Silly sister, it is not so easy

At the frontier, there are a few hundreds of thousands of soldiers, everyday they are here

everyday's military expenditure is a huge amount

The earlier we are successful in the peace talk,

with both sides pulling back, it will be a good thing

That Song Emperor has always liked peace

He will not disagree

Let's do this

Since there is free time between the two armies

let me resolve your heart's desire

My heart's desire?

Since we want peace talk,

we should show some sincerity

The previous time, the Song Emperor old man has sent

a messenger to meet our Father but that Xian Nu Shang made a mess out of it

This time

we must send someone who can represent our Great Xia's sincerity

to go and meet with Ye Zhao

You mean...

Second Brother

Second Brother

Without Hu Qing, this parasite within the belly (actually a good metaphor)

nothing goes smoothly for me!

If you are still by my side,

why would I need to deal with this military nitty gritty reports?

(chattering outside) Come.

Good wine. Come, come and drink.

I can't drink as before

Come, come! Let's toast

Another one

Who is still there?

Zhao Yu Jin

Come

It has been so long since we are so happy

Hey, brother Zhao, you look so delicate

but you are so easy going

Come, come, come. Let's talk about the martial arts strokes

Brother Zhao, you are from the residence of Prince Nanping

what exactly do you do there?

Yea, what do you do?Y You guess! You're the butler's son?

No, no, no, it can't be. You spent so much

Maybe you are a distant relative of Prince Jun?

No, it can't be. If you are of high status, you

won't be (sitting) together with us

Yea, that's right. I think brother Zhao is an angel sent from above

Furthermore, he is generous. Don't tell me you are

the man that Prince Jun has paid for?!(ie gigolo!) LOL

You are a gigolo!!

This brother Zhao's lustrous ability -

which of you can match up to him? Yes, yes!

He's obviously into women

What gigolo! Nonsense

I heard that Prince Jun is a useless fella

you and our General Ye are so close,

Hey

Don't tell me you guys were ex lovers!

That's a possibility! What ex-lover?

You all look like outsiders, you don't know the real situation

Your Great General Ye

treats her husband

Prince Jun of Nanping with utmost regards, highly submissive to him

If he asks her to go to the East, she wouldn't go to the West. Why would she find her ex-lover?

You bull shit! Yes, that's right. I don't believe that our General

will listen to Prince Jun so obediently

Up to you if you want to believe me. That's right.. yeah..

I roam around the house everyday, why would I lie to you?

Our General is so valiant. I bet she

beats the Prince Jun to a pulp on a daily basis. That's already quite virtuous of her!

That's right! She will listen to that Prince Jun?

Unless you are Prince Jun of Nanping!

Fine

Then I shall tell you honestly

I am Prince Jun of Nanping..

huh?

..the son of butler in the residence!

You scared us to death! You gave me a shock!

You and your rascally look, and you dare say you are Prince Jun of Nanping?

If you are the Prince, I am the Lord Almighty then!

My father thinks I am not good enough,

Let me out to come train with the General

Those outside of the Prime Minister's house are officials of level 3 grade and above

Even the in-chamber maids are pampered and spoiled from young

Your father is the general manager. To have a son like you,

who roams the street and make merry all day long, it's not stange at all

Smelly lad, you, should follow us and train with us

Hey, your pretty and fair face

we will be sure to train you up so that you have the colour of the pig's liver!

When you go back to the capital,

even your dad will not be able to recognise your pretty face

Yes, yes, that's right

Yes, yes, yes

Come, come, let's drink

General

What's the matter?

General works hard day and night, please make sure you get enough rest

General must make sure that your womb is healthy too

I have personally made a herbal egg for the General

Husband!

What do you think?

I wear like a normal soldier, but it still cannot stop

the penetration of my noble air, right?

But of course!

My husband looks good in anything

Prince Jun wears the guard's uniform,

can now walk freely beside the General

This way, nobody will suspect that you are husband and wife

I am beside Ah Zhao so that I can take care of my son at anytime

Reporting

West Xia peace talk envoy requesting an audience with you, General

West Xia's mission messenger? How many of them?

One horse, one person.

Let him come. Yes.

You are the messenger sent by the West Xia King?

Yes, exactly!

It is indeed you!

You finally recognised me?

I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown more and more beautiful

General, you still look the same, still so stunning

If your West Xia don't often come and disturb my border,

perhaps my complexion will be even better

General is mighty and heroic,

your reputation is already well known in West Xia far and wide

If I was so well known,

why does West Xia repeatedly come against us? And more intensified attack each time

All of the commoners of Great Xia want peace

hoping that both sides will be repaired permanently

Repair permanently? Your next sentence is "till death" is it?

Shameless! What crap!!

I hope West Xia King understands the meaning of peace, and allow Song and Xia to get along

Bringing real advantages

General

You should be taking your medicine now

Eat what medicine?

The physician has said

you have been overworked, have kidney deficiency (ie kidney not functioning well) and

too much of lung gas (ie talks too much!! LOL)

Plus, you have recently contracted viral fever

and afraid that you may infect other soldiers

so you must take the medicine on time

Then go bring the medicine that the military physician has concocted

No harm, no harm

The physician has already placed all the medication and shaped it

into an egg-shaped pill.

He instructed me

to give you one everyday

Come, open your mouth

Aah..

AAAHHHH..

That's right! So obedient! Open your mouth!

The General is unwell

You must take good care of your own body

Since you aren't well,

then I shall take my leave first

How is it? Not bad right?

You want me to choke to death? I will beat you to death!

All of you, come here

Peace talk is merely a delay tactic from our side

Now, Father has sent another 200,000 soldiers to us

They will be under my unified command

After the winter solstice,

we will completely destroy Ye Zhao!

Alright!

At that time, Ha-er Dun will lead 200,000 soldiers

fight alongside me for Tong Yang City

Ba Tu! I'm here!

You stay in Bai Yin Zhan. Yes!

Alright, go and make your preparations. Yes!

Second brother

You are back?

What are you trying to do?

What do you mean?

I am the envoy sent out by Father for the peace talk

So

you let me go and see Ye Zhao

It is just to confuse her?

Ying Chun

Since you already know

Then I think there is no reason to hide it from you

Peace talk is but my delay tactic

The plan to attack Song will not change

Plans to destroy Ye Zhao will also not change

Second brother

This is the wishful thinking on your part

What happened to the man in my heart who is aboveboard, and a great hero?

Two armies at war

why would there be so many reasons to talk about?

You are treacherous

The nation of Great Xia will sooner or later be pushed to the brink by you!!

Enough! I tell you, right here, I

am the only commanding officer

Whether war or peace making, it's my say!

I don't need you, this spoilt princess, to come and lecture me about it

Yi Nuo

You are crazy! Sooner or later, someday

you will be destroyed by war!

I am a soldier

Dying in the battlefield

is my glory

Fine

Since the border is not having any real peace talk,

I will go and look for General Ye right now

Ba Tu!

My sister is a little disobedient

Bring her down to educate her

Princess

my apologies

Let me go! You are crazy!

Let me go!

Yinuo

This world belongs to me, Yi Tuo

Nobody

can stop me!

Yinuo!

Yinuo!

You let me out!

Princess Ying Chun, after the war is over,

Prince Yinuo will personally come and bring you home

Ba Tu, let me out.

You guys can't beat Ye Zhao. Second brother was once defeated by Ye Zhao

You guys can't defeat General Ye

You guys are so treacherous

Tearing down the peace talk

You will cause the death of countless West Xia civilians

Yinuo! You are crazy!

Yinuo! You are crazy!
