15

Sit.

16

Since Yongnan's Old Champ retired, not only Yongnan,

17

all the people are panicking in cities nearby as well.

18

Tian Meng Association has ordered to search for Third Young Master and Third Young Mistress.

19

I heard there were already 2 shootings on the streets.

20

They're all related to Third Master.

21

These are all in the newspaper! Do I need you to repeat it here?

22

-Zhang Linzhi.

- Here!

23

-Take away everyone's chairs.

-Yes!

24

Somebody come here.

25

The more you piffle here, the more dangerous Third Young Master is in.

26

Starting from now, if anyone piffles again,

27

you will be shot to dead!

28

Yes.

29

That year, because of his reputation,

30

he killed my mother and wanted to kill me as well.

31

Good thing that heaven always leaves a door open. Even though I was young, I was able to escape the tragedy.

32

But as a woman, I had no support nor help. At the worst of my time,

33

I had to become a courtesan. The name of "Hui Yan,"

34

was used starting then. People's names are very magically.

35

They hide the secrets and destiny.

36

Like your name, if you say it in Yongnanese, it's "Qing Shang," To be hurt by love.

37

Then what does sister's name hide?

38

My name...

39

was actually given to me by the Old Champ.

40

Min Hongyu, the "Hong" used to be the character of the rainbow.

41

The dhyana meditation state gives light on all living things and with a breaking sound, one can see their value clearly.

42

Realizing clearly that beautiful women and swords are both similar to jade and rainbow.

43

That's right

44

Every time I see you, I always feel that your charm is unlike others.

45

Even though it's enchanting, it's also shady.

46

This is really your true name.

47

It's a shame that this character is unlucky.

48

The "hong" you have now is better.

49

What do you mean?

50

I invited all of the business partners to come for a meeting today.

51

Maybe you might think this is really strange,

52

because there is no chair at today's meeting.

53

Ok, let me tell you.

54

We will hold the meeting standing up today.

55

This is to show the equality of everyone here.

56

Since the Battle at the Yalu River, our country's military power has become thin and weak.

57

Some people can't bear to accept the country's decline

58

hence, they made determined effort and hence, bringing about the current Tian Meng Association.

59

Everyone here today have an ideals

60

and faith standing here.

61

It's because you are standing here,

62

we could have the fruits of victory in Yunnan.

63

I'm going make a strict order.

64

Accept my strict command. First, to ensure safety and order,

65

I am announcing that Yongnan will be in martial law starting midnight tomorrow.

66

Second, from today all the traffic through Yongnan

67

have a special permit signed by our office.

68

Third, fixed or mobile shops in Yongnan

69

can't raise up the price without approval

70

or stock up on basic commodities to cause disturbance in the market.

71

Other than submitting reports on the sub branches, post this announcement too.

72

Made by the Tian Meng Association Military and Political Committee. I'm done reading.

73

Commanding Officer. In order to celebrate our victory here in Yongnan,

74

I specially prepare a show

75

for our force army as an expression of our good will.

76

They all say that the women of Yongnan are pretty like a painting. Maybe this time, we can even...

77

I heard the famous Min Hongyu from Jiangzou is here in Yongnan.

78

Everyone,

79

I appreciate your kind gesture.

80

Warm wind blows and makes one's mind drunk and confused, directly confusing Hangzhou as Bianzhou.

(Song dynasty officials traeated Bianzhou as their past capital Hangzhou and forgot to take revenge for their empire because of carnal pleasures)

81

Even the people in the ancient era know this. Song and dance will eliminate our fighting will.

82

Now that Yongnan is in the heart of the struggle. Just a bit of laxity,

83

this newly ignited flame will immediately be put off by the feudal warlords.

84

I hope that everyone from the military and political committees must act cautiously.

85

Do your best to protect the fruit of our victory.

86

In here, I earnestly ask everyone for your help.

87

You are right.

88

Little sister, you don't need to have apprehensions. You can be frank with me.

89

A beauty and a precious sword are the two most valuable items to men.

90

They can obtain tenderness from one and power from the other.

91

Just like jade and rainbow. You get human enjoyment from them.

92

The word 'min' also sounds similar to 'mei (beauty)'.

93

That's why this poem which was written in a freely flowing style became your name.

94

It's just that 'xuran' is the sound of a breaking family tie.

95

Rainbow is the assembly of evil and obscenity.

96

That's why, Sister had to suffer separation from your family when you were little.

97

When you grew up, you had to get into the prostitution business. You really had one by one realized your destiny.

98

It's true.

99

The current 'hong (red)' word, although a bit too common,

100

actually broke your bad fate.

101

You are the second person who could see through me.

102

It's a pity we got to know each other too late.

103

If we had met earlier, you could have given me some names.

104

Maybe Hongyu's life will be totally different.

105

The first is...

106

Don't worry. It's not your Yi Liankai.

107

It is the one who saved me from whorehouse and likes to eat fried tofu.

108

He was the one who taught me the first dance.

109

Linzhi

110

Young Marshal.

111

Tell Capital Liu, I arranged for 3 regiments to go to him. We will attack Yongnan tonight.

112

It's time for them to deliver a big present to Tian Meng Association.

113

I understand.

114

What's going on?

115

Young Marshall, news from the front. There were spies among our troops. But they didn't escape.

116

Spies?

117

The spies have been executed. They originally captured one of our soldiers.

118

But the lieutenant there reacted fast and killed him.

119

Very good. Send my orders and promote him.

120

Inform all the troops, regardless of who

121

If they are captured, I will execute them.

122

Yes, Sir.

123

Li Zhong Nian... Two armies face off.

124

But you are still sneaking around my back.

125

Did you received any new message?

126

Young Marshal, good news from the front.

127

Three regiment of Tian Meng Association has been taken over by Capital Yu.

128

Very good. I trained him personally.

129

Tell Capitan Yu, focus all his strength on Yongnan tonight.

130

Let me have breakfast tomorrow morning at Yunnan.

131

Yes, Sir.

132

I hear you there is bad news.

133

Fuzhou is attacking aggressively and with their full force.

134

Three of our regiments in the 23 troops are caught northwest of Yongnan.

135

Chief Military Advisor, Guoyue is dead.

136

The situation now is not what we imagined it to be.

137

Are you saying that the original plan can't be used now?

138

We can't back off. We just got the Yongnan, we have to hold out.

139

If we can't hold out today,

140

it will be difficult to fight later.

141

Are you doing this to create an opening here for the troop to get out?

142

If they have enough forces, they can take over Cheng manor in two weeks.

143

But Yi Lianshen's forces are not enough. We need to thank Li Zhongnian for that.

144

It was hard to imagine, two armies had to meet,

145

Before I appreciate that Yi Lianshen is a good military leader.

146

Looks like I underestimated him.

147

Look at these area, wider and flatter.

148

Yet Yongna's terrain is higher than here.

149

Starting from now, you will lead the army. You will issue all commands

150

but you must remember this. You must not let anyone expose you.

151

Yes, Sir.

152

Ah Shua, pull back change course and attack Fu Army's right flank.

153

Okay. Good work.

154

News from the front, the three regiments that we trapped are attacking toward the west.

155

Tell him don't let up the pressure. I want to see results in 1 hour.

156

Yes, Sir.

157

Hold on.It'll have a result in one hour.

158

Report, we lost contact with

159

Li Zhongnian is sending more troops. Right now we don't know how many.

160

This is wrong. Li Zhongnian's assistance there is Wu Hanming, he isn't capable of this.

161

They did send more troops. and it is our old nemesis, Fu Chun Ming

162

Fu Chun Ming

163

He is a top lietument under Li Zhongnian.

164

Sending him here, he is going all out.

165

Inform Wang Haotian and Song Zirui to immediately reinforce the western front.

166

Yes, Sir.

167

News report, our forces are pushing ahead and fighting fiercely with the Tian Meng Association forces.

168

Send orders, the right flank push ahead, left flank hold the position.

169

Yes, Sir.

170

Calling...The right flank pushes forward, while the left flank stays and guard.

171

Thinking about when Lan Po and I first met, it was also through a dance.

172

Younger Sister, how was your dancing skill?

173

I wasn't good at dancing. I only wanted to end the dance quickly. It wasn't easy for me to look at their eyes.

174

Let me tell you a secret. Frankly, all along,

175

I got to know people through dancing.

176

How?

177

Two people so close to each other. It is easier to communicate with your bodies than words.

178

Furthermore, a man's moral character could be seen through his dance.

179

If a man can't keep his dirty hands to himself,

180

when he does things, his actions will be vulgar. He wouldn't be able to control himself.

181

It makes sense.

182

Also, when a man embraced you tightly

183

and your body didn't resist,

184

this man is your destined one in your life.

185

Older Sister, what do you think of me?

186

Younger sister, you look like calm water. You don't get startled easily.

187

but if I look closely,

188

you value friendship and relationship.

189

Things other think are dangerous, you find attractive.

190

Younger Sister, are you always anticipating risks?

191

Life...

192

has always been a risk.

193

Tian Meng Association are made up of random forces the Chief Marshall look down on.

194

They quietly arranged an attack on Yongnan.

195

But looking at their defense strategy, it doesn't seem like it was loosely organized.

196

Someone intelligent must be organizing them from behind.

197

Second sister, your words seem to capture the war movement.

198

If you were to lead the fight, you could be a great hero.

199

Older Brother, don't tease me. I'm only saying this at random.

200

Yanyuan has never studied military history, how can I lead forces?

201

I wasn't teasing you. Although you haven't studied military history.

202

But growing up as Mr. Fan's daughter,

203

You must know more than ordinary girls.

204

He is right.

205

Mu Guiying can be a general. Mulan can fight in a campaign. (T/N Historical figure of woman fighters.)

206

Fan Yanyuan you can do it too.

207

Look at the attack from three sides. Everyone says it is easier to attack a city than to defend it.

208

But Yongnan's location is special. To overtake it, even if your forces are strong.

209

We can't win in one or two days.

210

Yanyun's conclusion is reasonable.

211

Tian Meng Association didn't defend the left side but attacked the right side.

212

because they know what they are good at.

213

I'm afraid that Lianshen's efforts may not succeed this time

214

If he isn't careful, he could move from attacking to having to defend.

215

The Fu army isn't as well prepared as before.

216

I heard Lianshen tell stories of the cannons before and how they erupt like lightning

217

It could blow away the other forces like wind blowing through paper.

218

Throwing people into the sky. It is so much stronger than the older cannons.

219

Tian Meng Association can't afford this kind of cannons.

220

But Tian Meng Association attacked from Yongnan.

221

Cheng Household's finances are lining their pockets now

222

So now they have Yongnan's businesses backing them

223

But thankfully it's still early on, so they haven't had as many opportunities

224

If we wait any longer, efforts to counter would be futile

225

Because the difficulties may be greater

226

Li Chongnian has been our enemy for so long

227

He may be accustomed to Lianshen's tactics, since he's become more familiar with them through the years

228

He knows where he will pull troops from.

229

Then he will attack back like a hungry tiger.

230

He will try to suffocate them, refusing to give them a chance to breathe

231

There is talent hiding in the realms.

232

For Lianshen to persevere like this, it's not an easy feat

233

Thinking back to the days, when Mr. Fan and number six controled Jiangzhou

234

Those times aren't coming back.

235

The situation now is that we're being attacked at both sides. If anything goes wrong, the whole situation could move against us.

236

In the art of war, if you're 10 times more than your enemy, surround them, If you're 5 times more, attack them. If you're just 2 times more, try your best to divide them and conquer.

237

If you're of equal strength, defend against them. If you have less strength, try to escape.

238

If not, try to avoid fighting.

239

Although second brother is a good general, his forces are being split in two directions.

240

From the east and west, it is not sustainable.

241

Father, what do you plan to do next?

242

How about we send Gao Peide

243

Tian Meng Association penetrate organization,

244

We can't trust anyone easily.

245

Looks like there is only one solution now.

246

Father, what is the solution?

247

What else could it be?

248

I can only personally lead our troops now.

249

We can't do this.

250

Why not?

251

I'm not too old to lead our army yet, am I?

252

Father often says that the strong must be secure like a mountain.

253

That the top ruler must be mysterious like a dragon and hides like a leopard.

254

You hide yourself for many years, which makes you unpredictable.

255

If you take action, I'm afraid...

256

You forget. I'm still a father along with the title of a Marshall.

257

This battle is in regards to the two lived of my sons.

258

Lianyi, if you weren't injured, would I need to personally step into this battle?

259

Eldest Brother.

260

Yanyun, you don't have to convince me. Father is right.

261

[Min Manor]

262

Have you found out anything regarding the issue I needed to investigate?

263

Right now, we cannot determine if Yi Liankai is dead or alive.

264

Tian Meng Association hasn't had any new information either.

265

It may be too difficult to meet Liang Xingbei

266

No need. I have a way to meet him.

267

Reporting to Commanding Officer, a message from the front line. Please personally read it.

268

Okay.

269

Sir, there is a woman who wants to meet you.

270

Let her come in.

271

You are Qin Sang?

272

Who allowed you to sit there?

273

In this house, you are the master and I'm the guest.

274

Shouldn't a guest take a seat?

275

You are not a guest whom I invited.

276

I heard you're here to surrender

277

No.

278

I heard that you took the initiative

279

And asked our troops to bring you here

280

Only the guilty would surrender, but I am not guilty

281

The Yi Family established a reactionary junta and oppressed the citizens.

282

Only the feudal system involves members of a family in a criminal case.

283

Are you going to return to the old system just because of me?

284

Why then did you willing walk into the net and be our prisoner?

285

This is also not willingly walking into the net.

286

I am here to be a guest

287

Yi Household is a high and mighty household.

Aren't you just trying to use their reputable name?

288

A vampire survives by sucking blood.

289

Don't your Yi family also survive by sucking the blood and sweat of the citizens?

290

Don't you consider yourself at fault for that?

291

Although the lifestyle of the Yi family is indeed extravagant, before I married into the Yi family,

292

I already know how hard it is to obtain one grain of rice.

293

After marrying into the Yi Household, I still lived by frugal means

294

I only make a few articles of clothing when the new year arises

295

And I only save them for when I leave the household, so I wouldn't consider them wasteful

296

But, I was born to be in this kind of household.

297

This is my fate. I had no say in the matter.

298

Is that a crime?

299

Is Tian Meng Association the decider of our destinies?

300

What I'm talking to you about are ideals, while what you're telling me are feudal etiquette.

301

Ideals and etiquette

302

are not in conflict to begin with.

303

During the French Revolution, Queen Marie Antionette was sent to the execution stage to be beheaded.

304

But on her way there, she carelessly stepped on the foot of the executioner.

305

She then immediately said, "Sorry,

306

Sir. I didn't do it in purpose."

307

It's also because of this,

308

the French people still bear shame in their heart up to now.

309

You're saying that I'm an executioner?

310

You are not. I am also not Marie Antoinette.

311

What I mean is ideals are for the creation of a civilized world, and not to destroy it.

312

Take a seat.

313

Mister Pan, you cannot enter.

I'm here to see Qin Shang

314

You may not enter.

315

Then I'll visit Liang Xingbei

316

Liang Xingbei has requested not to be disturbed

317

I want news about Yi Liankai

318

Mister Liang, please give me information about my husband

319

Ms. Qin, you should at least know the proper etiquette in being a host, right?

320

Reporting.

321

Urgent news from the city's northern front.

322

Qin Shang, today is inconvenient.

Perhaps coming by another day would be better.

323

But rest assured, we will arrange a nice residence for you to reside in

324

We treat our guests with the utmost respect

325

Since you insist. I won't bother you.

326

Okay. Escort Miss Qin to her room to rest.

327

This way, please.

328

Wait.

329

Qin Shang, take these books along with you

330

It may allow you to pass along time

331

Thank you.

332

Out of these two beds, which one is vacant?

333

No one sleeps in either.

334

They sleep together

335

How old are you?

336

I'm 12

337

They don't allow you to live with your mother?

338

Our mom is also trapped in a room in these quarters.

339

They said as long as we don't create a hassle for them, they will let us see our mom

340

You're Chen Yunzhi's daughter?

341

Yunzhi is my older brother.

342

Older Brother?

343

Yunzhi. Jinzhi.

344

You're 12, but you're not Old Cheng's granddaughter

345

I'm Old Cheng's daughter

346

It turns out he had a 12 year old daughter

347

He really is prosperous in family members.

348

I'm sorry. I brought up a hurtful topic.

349

Why is your hand so cold?

350

Are you afraid?

351

Older Sister, why are you not afraid?

352

Do you have anyone you're concerned about?

353

If you're concerned about anyone,

354

You will worry about their safety

355

Think about whether or not they're doing well

356

Instead of worrying about yourself and being afraid

357

Where can he hide?

358

His corpse wasn't in the water.

359

We can look slowly. Perhaps, we may get a reward.

360

The corpse of the Yi Liankai might have been washed away already.

361

We still have to search meticulously.

362

But the dead have corpses

363

Let's go look ahead

364

- Let's go.

- Let's go.

365

[Poison]

366

[White flag]

367

[Infant]

368

Mr. Liang, don't you have official matters to take care of today?

369

I just looked at the time. I figured you would stop by.

370

How about this, the weather is fine outside, how about we go for a walk outside.

371

The rich has thousand acres of land and has never been the reason for revolutions.

372

The poor has no place to settle in and has always been the reason for resistance.

373

Now, the whole country is full of wild military juntas and bandits wreaking havoc everywhere.

374

In chaotic times like this,

375

The bones of a landlord now has ditches. It's worse for the ordinary citizens, now living in destitute.

376

The bandits are cruel. The military warlords are rotten.

377

Everyone has their own selfish plan.

378

Arguing over food, land, and rights.

379

But no one,

380

Is really putting the country in their best interest

381

The innocent civilians are still the ones suffering the most.

382

They kept getting robbed by the warlords and bandits.

383

It is the same in a rich land like Yongnan.

384

You can then imagine what it is like in other less well-off regions.

385

It was poison.

386

Ms. Qin, I know that you are in support of reforms too.

387

I'm sure that you also were moved by those poems.

388

'Poison' is about hoping to kill the old world that caused the lives of citizens to be in destitute.

389

'White Flag' hopes to attain its lofty beliefs.

390

And 'Infant' is thirsty for a new world.

391

I know that Ms. Qin will surely read those poems.

392

How did you know?

393

Please forgive me. I used a bit of psychological attack method on you.

394

You've come to my office a couple of times.

Although we haven't had many interactions,

395

You're observed me

396

Along with the items in my office

397

You already know that those books were on my desk.

398

To get closer to me

399

you surely will use the books that I usually read to understand and be familiar with me.

400

I actually especially marked those poems that you read.

401

I hope that you would read it.

402

You've kept reading these three books these past three days

403

And you kept repetaedly deducing the meaning behind those poems.

404

I'm sure that with your talent and intelligence,

405

You could have easily deciphered those three poems

406

It seems that you've been controlling me all along.

407

The more I read these three poems,

408

the more I think about them, the more I fall deeply into them.

409

I want to bring you to meet someone

410

This person really understands and cares for you

411

For you, he didn't mind disobeying his superior.

412

Between the task given to him by his superior and love, he chose love.

413

And he has already been punished for it. He is an immature soldier.

414

But I thought, I should let you know of his affections

415

So you really were a part of Tian Meng Association

416

Qin Shang

417

Sorry.

418

I waited a long time in the flower garden this time,

419

But you never came

420

I always kept it a secret from you

421

This time you really came too late

422

Would you like some noodles?

One bowl please

423

Okay.

424

Stop!

425

Go after him.

426

Stop

427

Go after him.

428

Stop there.

429

Don't move

430

Don't move.

431

Qin Shang don't worry

432

I don't care

433

If Yi Liankai dies,

434

I am willing to be your everything

435

Lian Po isn't dead

436

I don't care if he's dead or alive

437

It doesn't matter to me if you love him or not either

438

I just want to tell you,

439

I will always love you

440

Did you really become a deserter because of me?

441

This is my first time being one.

442

Qin Shang, I will arrange for someone to send you back to Fu Yuan tomorrow

443

Send me back to Fu Yuan?

444

Qin Shang, please allow me to address you by your name

445

I'm not part of Tian Meng Association

446

Many think our organization consists solely of men

447

But I believe any person who wants to change the world

448

Can belong to Tian Meng Association

449

But less people believe this now

450

But I believe we will have more people

451

Even if we are from different paths, I believe that we will cherish the same ideals and continue walking down the same path.

452

Because any grand ideology

453

came from the union of several small ones.

454

Less a person, will mean less power

455

Qin Shang, perhaps I have no right to ask you to understand my ideals

456

and my determination to sacrifice my life just to ensure your safety.

457

But if I were to lose you one day,

458

and choose to walk down that lonely path just like the Tian Meng Association members that

459

abandoned their family and loved ones,

460

I at least had you light my life with your love.

461

No matter how much my thoughts are poles apart right now.

462

I hope there will be a day where I could understand where you are coming from

463

No need.

464

I just want the best for you

465

Qin Shang, I plan to send you back tomorrow

466

Why do you want to send me back?

467

Aren't I a good hostage for you all?

468

For us revolutionist who wants to break the old ways,

469

We won't use such despicable tactics

470

Then what about Yi Liankai? I want to know about his whereabouts.

471

There is currently no news of Yi Liankai

472

But based on our information, he currently isn't in Fu Yuan.

473

I believe once Yi Liankai appears, he will be sure to show up in Fu Yuan

474

But for him, his situation is very dangerous.

475

Because there is someone who doesn't want him to show up in Fu Yuan

476

Who?

477

This person has repeatedly tried to kill him.

478

Second Brother?
