15

Are you really sending Qin Sang away?

16

Why don't you let her stay?

17

There is no point for Qin Sang to stay here in Yong Nan

18

We need to send her to the enemy.

19

But she's not even one of us. She's just an outsider.

20

If we need to send someone, we have to send one from us.

21

When you head back with Qin Sang this time, you have to stick to our plan on Yi Family.

22

Jinzhi, I'm going back to Fu Yuan.

23

When?

24

Soon.

25

Sis, can you stay?

26

I'll be so scared if you leave.

27

Here, take this. This is from Cheng Family.

28

You have nothing to be afraid of with this.

29

Don't worry, I'll try to protect you.

30

Ok.

31

This is a crucial step for Yan Family.

32

Even though Qin Sang is asking about Yi Liankai,

33

but she still has a thing for you.

34

I'll fulfill my mission.

35

You have to.

36

And it has to be perfect.

37

As long as Qin Sang comes out intact, I'll make sure everything's done perfectly.

38

Someone come over here, send Fu Yuan a telegram.

39

Tell Yi Jipei, we are willing to release third young mistress, Qin Sang.

40

Yes sir.

41

Second son has been gone for days,

42

Li Zhongnian is holding it well.

43

And we stabilized Yong Nan area,

44

Only my third son's whereabouts,

45

remains unknown.

46

Even Young Nan is in great peril, but third brother is very adaptable.

47

Plus second brother and his men are supporting him nearby,

48

third brother should be fine.

49

Sir!

50

Come on in.

51

We've received a telegram from Tian Meng Association.

52

Send a telegram to inform my second son right away,

53

have him pick third mistress himself.

54

Yes sir!

55

Tian Meng Association is sending Qin Sang back?

56

This girl really fell into the hands of Tian Meng Association,

57

but the telegram only mentioned about the release of Qin Sang,

58

nothing about third son at all.

59

Were they even together in Yong Nan?

60

He's not with Tian Meng Association.

61

Or... Tian Meng Association has more in store with him?

62

We have to wait till the third young mistress comes back

63

to see if she knows anything about his whereabouts.

64

Brothers! Fu Army

65

is in a very extraordinary time now, thank you for your hard work.

66

It is our duty!

67

I can't hear you!

68

It is our duty!

69

Good. How's the ammunition?

70

Sir, we've used a lot of our ammunition, but we have the most trophies from the enemy.

71

Great!

72

There isn't much good to say about the battlefield,

73

but I'll tell you this: if we don't have something,

74

we can get it from our enemy.

75

Remember this: in the battlefield,

76

the more weapons and ammunition you took away from the enemy

77

the more rewards you will receive

78

when the war is over.

79

No matter how much ammunition we got left,

80

no matter how advanced our weapons are,

81

we can always have our enemy build them for us!

82

Not to mention, our weapons and equipments here in Fu Army,

83

are the best in the nation.

84

- Right? - Yes sir!

85

Young Marshal.

86

Ms Qin is here to say goodbye?

87

Yes, and no.

88

I thought you really loved it here.

89

I have one more favor to ask.

90

Please, go ahead.

91

The reason you release me back to Fu Yuan, is to let the world see

92

you already let third young mistress of Yi Family go.

93

Therefore to show them, Tian Meng Association values justice. Now word on the street is,

94

you murdered Old Champ Cheng's entire family.

95

With me going back to Fu Yuan,

96

I say it's a great opportunity to show people, Cheng Family is still very much alive.

97

So how would you help me here?

98

All I need is a photo.

99

A photo of me, with everyone in Cheng Family here.

100

Ok, I can do it.

101

[Golden Jade and Horse Hall]

102

Don't be afraid, smile, like me.

103

Third young mistress! You're finally back.

104

If you stay there for a few more days, cousin's probably going to wage war against them.

105

Second brother.

106

Where is third brother?

107

We went separate ways when we were being chased by the enemy.

108

I don't know where he is.

109

Lin Zhi, more manpower on looking for third brother.

110

Keep me posted whenever there's an update.

111

Yes sir.

112

Qin Sang, let's head home now.

113

Not everyone wants you to go back to Fu Yuan. As far as I know,

114

he attempted to murder Yi Liankai many times already.

115

Sang'er! You're finally back. You had me worried sick!

116

I'm fine, Mother Zhu.

117

Good to have you back! Go get some rest, must've been rough

118

Qin Sang, father is waiting for us in his study.

119

Got it, brother.

120

You're back.

121

Father.

122

Is everything alright?

123

I'm fine, thank you for asking, father.

124

Sit down.

125

It must've been a tough.

126

Third young mistress, how did you get caught by Tian Meng Association?

127

And how did you convince them to release you?

128

When Tian Meng Association occupied Cheng Manor

129

I've already escaped with Lan Po.

130

But I didn't know they have so much manpower,

131

and sent people looking for us from door to door.

132

Lan Po has no choice but to leave me,

133

took their car and caused a distraction.

134

I thought Lan Po was taken away by Tian Meng Association,

135

so I thought, whatever happens, he's still my husband and I'm still his wife.

136

We should live and die together.

137

So I turned myself in.

138

But they don't even have Lan Po.

139

I have no idea where is he right now.

140

There is gun wound to his body

141

when he left.

142

Where did he get shot? How bad is it?

143

On the shoulder.

144

I don't know

145

how did he make it these days.

146

There was a fortune-teller told us back in the days,

147

that he will face a very serious test in his life.

148

Perhaps, this is it.

149

Does second brother have any news?

150

I don't know. I've sent out more men,

151

but nothing yet.

152

No news is good news. Whatever people say out there,

153

Lan Po will never die in Yong Nan.

154

Alright alright.

155

At lease you are back safe.

156

We can sleep a little bit better now.

157

Go back to your room and take some rest. Your father's been worrying sick.

158

My father?

159

Yes. Uncle Qin has been waiting for you to come back all this time.

160

Father, I brought this back for you to review.

161

Isn't this Cheng's Manor in Yong Nan?

162

Those are the women in Cheng Family.

163

Who is this girl?

164

Cheng's oldest daughter, Cheng Jinzhi

165

Master, please have a seat and have some rest, Sang'er should be back soon.

166

Qian Ping has been calling,

167

Sang's visit to Yong Nan this time is crazy,

168

then we lost contact with her.

169

How could I not worry?

170

Master, she is safe now.

171

Father!

172

Little Sang!

173

My daughter! Thank god you are home safe!

174

Almost forgot, I made your favorite meal. Let me bring it over.

175

Ok

176

Let me take a good look at you. You've been through a lot.

177

Father

178

Don't be too sad. It'll take a toll on your health.

179

It looks like if we want to rescue third brother from Yong Nan,

180

we have to focus on the big picture.

181

Keep going.

182

Right now, we have focus on resolving the crisis in Jiang Zuo

183

Once we solve that,

184

Yong Nan will be a cakewalk.

185

I didn't have any good plan,

186

with Qin Sang back with us,

187

kind of pressured me to come up with a solution.

188

Even though third son was bizarre even when he was a kid,

189

but it never occurred to me,

190

that this woman he chose as his wife, is really something.

191

Father, what's on your mind?

192

You mustn't borrow an able person for he's hard to control.

193

On the other hand, incapable people will usually ask for help for they need someone to rely on.

194

Use the useless person and try to control him.

195

Borrow a corpse to resurrect the soul.

196

Soy sause with preserved meat!

197

Mother Zhu, take a break. It's only me and my father here, this is too much.

198

These are your favorite dishes!

199

Oh, I have something else on the stove.

200

Dig in, this is not a lot. You've been suffering a lot,

201

eat as much as you can. Look how skinny you are!

202

Mother Zhu, this is enough. I don't want to waste food.

203

No worries, this is the last one.

204

- This is everthing. - Did you know,

205

Mother Zhu's prepping these meals

206

since last night.

207

Sang'er, you're back now, that's all it matters. Have some more rice dumplings,

208

and enjoy the reunion with your father.

209

Enjoy! I shall take my leave.

210

Are you worried about Lan Po?

211

He attracted all the enemies away to save my life,

212

that's the last thing I've heard about him. I don't even know if he's still alive.

213

Don't worry. He's a blessed man.

214

Remember last time? When Mu Rongfeng besieged Zhi Mountain,

215

he broke the enemy even when he's in the open.

216

Now he's in the dark, and enemy's all exposed,

217

he'll make it out safely.

218

Your safety is everything.

219

He will definitely know about you coming back safely,

220

then he can make it back to Fu Zhou

221

without worrying about your safety.

222

All that you can do to help him now,

223

is to eat well, sleep well,

224

so that he'll see a healthy, happy wife when he comes back.

225

Dig in.

226

This is your favorite. Go ahead, dig in.

227

Hello,

228

Mu Rong brother, long time no see.

229

Chief Marshal Yi, you are a hard man to reach.

230

Mu Rong brother.

231

I'm always straight to the point,

232

so let's be clear,

233

the reason I'm calling,

234

is to seek your help on the Jiang Zuo issue.

235

Jiang Zuo issue?

236

This might not be very appropriate.

237

Quit joking,

238

everyone knows

239

I'm having a really hard time in Jiang Zuo now,

240

what kind difficulty you would have?

241

My territory is pretty remote,

242

plus I never meddle in the affairs in Jiangzuo,

243

even if I want to help you on this,

244

it's hard to fight a righteous cause.

245

Brother Murong, if this is your main concern,

246

instead of holding grudges against me,

247

I can find a righteous cause for you.

248

Really? How?

249

If I remember correctly, your son is still unmarried, right?

250

My son is picky and mediocre,

251

it is hard to have him settle down.

252

I know a daughter of Cheng Family in Yong Nan,

253

her name is Cheng Jinzhi, still single,

254

never had any sort of commitment with others,

255

she's four years younger than Mu Rongfeng,

256

if Murong Family can make an announcement to the whole country,

257

stating your son, Mu Rongfeng

258

is engaged with Cheng Jinzhi, the oldest daughter of Cheng Family in Yong Nan

259

Then obviously, we can easily justify Murong Family's interference in the affairs of Jiangzuo,

260

by saying it's revenge for your daughter-in-law's family. It makes perfect sense.

261

This is exactly what Cao Cao did,

262

when he carried out the attack on Tao Qian in Xu Zhou

263

Brother Yi, do you really want me to send troops to Jiang Zuo?

264

Nope. All I need is that announcement

265

But I don't know how good looking this girl is.

266

What if she's deaf and blind?

267

I can't just break the engagement after advertise to the whole country.

268

My son's life would be ruined.

269

Before my daughter-in-law got sent back by Tian Meng Association,

270

she was locked in Cheng Family,

271

and had a photo with Cheng Jinzhi.

272

I already had someone printed it out last night on the newspaper,

273

take a look at today's paper,

274

and you'll see what she looks like.

275

If you are still not happy with her, then you can turn down my proposal.

276

Sure.

277

But this is not entirely up to me.

278

Even if I agree, I have to have Feng'er's consensus too.

279

He's a big boy now,

280

I can't just make him do it.

281

Fair enough. I'll wait for your good news then.

282

Ok.

283

You're heading back so soon.

284

Those in Qian Ping has been asking me to get back forever, now that you are safe, I can finally go back.

285

Father, I'm not a good daughter. I didn't take good care of you.

286

What are you talking about? You haven't been eating or drinking,

287

for third prince. Bad for your health.

288

Remember, take good care of yourself is the best thing you can do for your parents.

289

- I understand. - Alright, see you.

290

[Yi Jipei's daughter-in-law...]

291

Father, I'm back.

292

Feng'er, welcome back.

293

You look sharp. Where did you go?

294

There's a party at my friend's place.

295

Come over,

296

take a look at this photo,

297

what do you think about that girl next to third mistress of Yi?

298

I didn't know you would read this.

299

[Yi Jipei's daughter-in-law got released. Old Champ's descendants are still alive.]

300

Not bad, she has a pretty smile.

301

Hello?

302

Yi, I saw the newspaper. Good.

303

She has a hearty smile in the middle of a war,

304

sounds like a good match with my son.

305

Great, then I'll wait for your announcement then.

306

Wait.

307

There's still something I'm trying to figure out.

308

Which one thing?

309

Cheng's business is all over the country,

310

as far as I know, you did not benefit much from his business around Jiang Nan.

311

Is it because you two are unrelated? I'm a different story.

312

What if us two become a family one day,

313

Cheng's family business in the north,

314

probably will fall under my control by then.

315

Are you ok with this?

316

We are all fathers,

317

for the sake of those dull sons of mine, I'll have to make compromises.

318

Cheng Jinzhi is the oldest daughter of Cheng Family,

319

but we all know Cheng still has a son, Cheng Yunzhi.

320

What if one day he took over the family, and try to deny this marriage?

321

Deny this marriage? Brother Murong, we're a family by then,

322

and who would abandon an ally like Murong Family?

323

Ok.

324

Father, now that north and south are connected, with Cheng's power,

325

we can easily put pressure on Li Zhongyan and Liangxing Bei.

326

It's too early to celebrate.

327

Even life-long friends won't let their guard down facing each other.

328

Father, are you saying he might...

329

Father, you thought of everything.

330

Not exactly. I just know him too well.

331

Inform Gao Peide right awayin secret, tell him to get ready for war.

332

In case Murong Chen do something.

333

Ok.

334

Father.

335

I need to talk to you.

336

Qin Sang, I underestimated you before.

337

You've done a great job on this,

338

you deserve to be the third young mistress of Yi Family in Fu Zhou.

339

Perhaps, this would be a turning point for us Yi Family in Jiang Zuo.

340

Thank you father. All I want right now, is to have Lan Po back as soon as possible.

341

He's on everyone's mind right now here in Yi Family.

342

Second brother already increased manpower searching for him,

343

not only in Yong Nan,

344

we've also been getting telegrams with clues about him from everywhere, every day.

345

Father, please have someone else searching for Lan Po.

346

You can't have second brother searching him like this.

347

If he keeps looking for him like this, Lan Po might die.

348

What else can compete with the love between two brothers?

349

My third son might die? Why did you say this?

350

Father, you can send anyone you want except second brother.

351

Third young mistress, now's not the time to get emotional with second brother.

352

Life or death,

353

third brother's fate can be determined at any minute.

354

Second brother has a lot of manpower, if they can do a sweep search,

355

live or dead, we'll find him eventually.

356

Big brother, if we don't send second brother for the search, Lan Po has a 10% survival rate.

357

If we keep having him searching like this, there's no chance Lan Po will live.

358

Qin Sang,

359

what do you mean?

360

You think my second son would not treat this with the utmost priority?

361

Father, that's not what I'm scared of.

362

I'm scared of him trying to kill Lan Po when he finds him.

363

Choose your word carefuly!

364

Big brother, I don't believe this either.

365

They are a family, even if they have some disagreement, there is no need for killing.

366

Lan Po never tried to compete with second brother for anything,

367

but second brother always try to have him killed.

368

Third young mistress, you can't make wild accusations like this.

369

If second brother or Yan Yun treated you with disrespect before,

370

just tell us, I'll do you justice and have them apologize.

371

But don't make it about life or death.

372

On Mountain Zhi, second brother used to send an Aid Xu accompanying Lan Po

373

If you don't believe me, big brother, ask Aid Xu who used to serve Lan Po

374

When they heard father was assassinated, Song suggested take a short cut with the horse.

375

Halfway through that short cut, Lan Po's horse went mad for no reason,

376

he almost died falling off the horse.

377

Second brother doesn't want to take chances, and arranged some assassins along the road

378

to take out Aid Song as well. But Lan Po killed him.

379

Seeing there's no chance of getting out, Aid Song killed himself too.

380

Father, do you know what's Aid Song's last word?

381

Stop.

382

He said:

383

"Second brother, my savior, I'm too incompetent

384

to kill this bastard."

385

Father, can't you see?

386

Second brother probably planned last kidnap too!

387

I said stop!

388

Father!

389

I said stop.

390

You have no idea what the consequence would be.

391

You will destroy Yi Family.

392

Get out! Shut the door!

393

Qin Sang, once you turn brothers against each other,

394

there will be no end of it.

395

Not only would this destroy the foundation of our family business I built all these years,

396

but also create chaos for all Southern provinces!

397

Do you think those military guys are easy to get along with?

398

They will support my second and third son in the public,

399

but they all want to be kings themselves whenever there's a chance,

400

just like Li Zhongnian!

401

If Jiang Zuo falls into chaos,

402

Jiang Shuangxi, Li Zhongnian, Mu Rongchen, Tian Men Association...

403

even the Japanese would find a way in.

404

Blood will be shed, war spread everywhere.

405

Thousands would die, more would be injured, millions would lost their homes.

406

- Is this the kind of consequence you could take? - I cannot!

407

But why would I carry this burden on my shoulder?

408

Tens of thousands people would lost their homes, but so what?

409

I've already lost mine!

410

If my husband dies,

411

it doesn't matter if they sing for him

412

or insult him,

413

they will all move on and get back to their lives. But what about me?

414

I'll lose Yi Liankai forever.

415

If he dies,

416

why would I care if Yi Family's doing good or bad?

417

Why would I care if Jiang Zuo is peaceful or not?

418

Why would anything matter to me at all?

419

If I lost my husband, even millions of lives wouldn't matter to me,

420

and you are talking about thousands of lives?

421

I used to believe the reason my third son married to you

422

is because he's blind.

423

But I would have never thought you would go to Mountain Zhi for him,

424

and fight against me at all cost.

425

He made a good choice.

426

You are truly a good daughter-in-law, a good wife.

427

But it's too late.

428

Now there's no place for a good wife like you in Family Yi.

429

Father, have mercy.

430

If third brother really comes back alive,

431

how would you explain this to him?

432

Without her, third brother would lose his mind.

433

The better you are, the more threat you are posing towards this family.

434

To Yi Liankai, To Family Yi,

435

you are poison.

436

Father, even if you kill me,

437

it won't matter.

438

Killing me, would be nothing more than fooling yourself.

439

You may bring peace back to the family for now,

440

but tomorrow brothers will be fighting again.

441

You're right. Killing you won't change anything.

442

But if I keep you alive,

443

even if I bring back my third son safe and sound,

444

can you promise me you can stay silent for the rest of your life?

445

If my third son cannot make it back,

446

can you contain your grudge and not to seek revenge?

447

You can't kill me.

448

I thought you have nothing to be scared of.

449

I'm not scared of death.

450

It's just we don't have any clues about Lan Po yet,

451

and I'll have to see him, dead or alive.

452

Father, you can kill me,

453

but no matter he's alive or dead,

454

I have to see him for one last time.

455

At least I can die in peace.

456

My first son, lock her up.

457

Hu Zhongkai uses his position to damage the communication within the military,

458

contacting Tian Meng Association secretly,

459

Execute!

460

Li Nong, killed our soldier, took away uniform,

461

infiltrated in our army

462

instigated soldiers to riot for 15 times,

463

Execute!

464

Liao Jie,former commander of our troops,

465

defected and tried to plant bombs

466

along young general's path,

467

execute!

468

Li Dading, infiltrated in our army for a long time,

469

poisoned the water source,

470

and probing on our transportation route,

471

planned on cut off our supply,

472

execute!

473

Young general, all done.

474

Everyone. Did you hear what we just said?

475

Remember, those from the Tian Meng Association,

476

are the ones who want to take your lives.

477

Before they die,

478

they all pretend to be a martyr. Laughable.

479

This Yong Nan Coup,

480

was initially started by Tian Meng Association

481

But us Fu Army is an army of justice.

482

The purpose of our journey to the east this time is very simple:

483

to save the people in Yong Nan

484

from pain and suffering. Are you with me?

485

To the end of time!

486

To the end of time!

487

To the end of time!

488

Lucky you, third young mistress,

489

still managed to turn things around in a hopeless situation like that,

490

and made back safely.

491

Wouldn't it be great if third brother shares your luck as well?

492

Second young mistress,

493

we all have millions of things we want,

494

but in the end we can only get a few.

495

Those things we can't get, either give them up,

496

or take them away from others,

497

but why on earth would you want to destroy it?

498

What do you mean?

499

Sang'er, you are back!

500

Did the Chief Marshal send people searching for uncle?

501

Stay in the room and do not leave.

502

The master wants to keep us prisoners?

503

Yes. I'll be outside.

504

Why would they keep us here?

505

You barely made it back from Yong Nan,

506

now we are prisoners?

507

Mother Zhu, there's no use to argue with them.

508

Our lives are no longer in our hands.

509

There's a gun shot in the house again? Are you alright?

510

I'm fine. Just some assassin, we already took care of it.

511

What about third young mistress?

512

She's a bit scared, I already sent her back.

513

Have servants pay a bit extra attention.

514

That's not enough. I'll go visit her.

515

Wait. Stay.

516

Why?

517

It's complicated. I can't say much.

518

You guys did not imprison her... did you?
