15

Look at you.

16

You've completely lost the mentality of a soldier.

17

You lost your mind because of Qin Sang and Yi Liankai.

18

What sacrifice? What dedication?

19

Can't compare to the insignificant,

20

weak intelligent, that insignificant love.

21

Do you know you're placing our troops in danger for your actions

22

to fulfill your insignificant purpose.

23

We can't use the person that is in prison right now.

24

He is the key to our control over the Jiangzuo situation.

25

He is our last chance.

26

So we will just keep him in prison?

27

Now that you've reminded me, I should go visit him.

28

[Min Manor]

The entire Yongnan is barricaded like a water bucket.

29

You can't go in or out.

30

But don't worry. I will place my life in danger to ensure your safety.

31

To bring you to Li Chongnian

32

I wasn't asking this

33

I asked if there was any news on Yi Liankai

34

There is no news in Yong Nan about Yi Liankai's whereabouts

35

But last night I heard workers,

36

They said that they say someone blindfolded and kidnapped while they were brought into the jail

37

The prisoners never had to be blindfolded before

38

This person is either very important or very dangerous.

39

Open the doors.

40

[Friendly Land]

41

Zeng and Hu Military Governance and Mobilization Transcripts. Democratic system.

42

Question and answers on the 'Three Drunk Men Attending to State Affairs'. Your knowledge is quite diverse.

43

Between a democratic system, constitutional system, or monarchy, what do you choose?

44

It seems someone already brought you food

45

You could have chose to fight the person who brought you this meal

46

But you didn't. Why did you choose to fight me?

47

In catching the thieves, you catch their ruler first. If I attack the person who brought me food,

48

Maybe I would have been able to escape this jail.

49

But fighting you means I have the chance of escaping Yong Nan

50

But you didn't get the chance to escape

51

How did you know I was the leader?

52

If you let me go, I can tell you

53

Tell me then

54

The sounds of your footsteps told me all I needed to know

55

My footsteps?

56

The footsteps of the person who brought me food are rushed and unwilling.

57

The footsteps of the person who's going to interrogate me are very heavy.

58

And mine?

59

Yours had no sound

60

No sound?

61

Correct. No sound.

62

When you appeared at my door, I was unaware that you had appeared

63

I was startled when you spoke

64

But after, I realized you were their leader

65

The sound of footsteps doesn't seem to correlate with leadership

66

Higher ranks care for what their subordinates think of them

67

So they make their footsteps lighter. My father is like this.

68

You words are correct.

69

Your attitude is alright too

70

But here,

71

We don't have a king or subordinates

72

Our association has brothers

73

Let us try again

74

Your fighting skills are not bad and you can grasp the timing well.

75

If not because you have toiled for days and is very exhausted,

76

Maybe I would have really lost to you

77

Forget it

78

Taking you by surprise didn't even work. Having a fair fight would mean I would definitely lose.

79

I am not an overconfident person.

80

Rather than repeatedly falling unto the ground and getting defeated by you,

81

Why wouldn't we just contently eat, drink, and sleep?

82

Third Young Master of the Yi family, you have indeed concealed your skills well.

83

I initially just planned to exchange a few moves with you,

84

but never thought you can still bear to endure things

85

despite being in a situation of having no tomorrow.

86

Who really are you?

87

Ling Xingbei, the overall commander of the Yongnan Operations of the Tianmeng Association.

88

Did you know my master?

89

I've heard of him.

90

We've suffered quite a bit at Tian Meng Association because of him

91

But I assume no one has ever been able to take advantage of him

92

Yi Jipei was able to stably take control of Jiangzuo when he acquried him.

93

But since he died, the Yi family started to fall apart.

94

Why are you suddenly mentioning him?

95

My Teacher is a an expert negotiator. He once told me that the highest state of troop command is to win through military tactics.

96

This is one of the best strategies.

97

To defeat Tian Meng Association, we would need to use it

98

To throw someone in an abandoned house first

99

The more time passes, the more twisted their thoughts become. That's called 'an empty heart leads to enlightenment'.

100

The more a person thinks, the easier it is to trap them in their own thoughts

101

That's right. They get controlled by that kind of smiling and pretentiously calm face.

102

I've studied the way Tian Meng thinks and organizes

103

but this method was never a customary move by your association

104

and is instead an expertise of my Master.

105

So I asked if you knew my master

106

Mr. Fan was known to be a great strategist.

Everyone knew of him

107

You seem to understand Yi Household better than I do

108

Who exactly are you?

109

Reporting. Young Marshall. Tian Meng Association

110

divided into 3 groups. One cavalry group inserted themselves between our foot soldiers and canon soldiers.

111

Using their advantage in speed, they hindered the forward movement of our canons.

112

One riflemen and canon soldiers group inserted themselves between our foot soldiers and cavalries.

113

The riflemen were mainly hacking the legs of the horses.

114

The canon soldiers shoot at the mountain to induce landslides.

115

At present our foot soldiers can't move forward and our cavalrymen are in disarray.

116

Our opponents must have changed their leader.

117

Maybe within Yongnan City, there are two commanders.

118

Not maybe, they definitely did.

119

And now the person they've changed to isn't just ten times more powerful. They're almost a hundred times more powerful.

120

Although the initial commander was well-versed in military knowledge, he is just like us,

121

just know himself but doesn't fully know his opponent.

122

In our exchange, he was just touching the stones as a guide to get across the river.

123

But now they have found our weaknesses, and they are persistently exploiting them

124

I'm sure that he is very familiar with the military affairs of Jiangzuo.

125

Do you think Liankai has switched sides?

126

There's no way. Liankai would never betray us.

127

Moreover, Liankai has never shown interests in battles

128

He never led troops, nor fought in battles. Just with his wits,

129

He would never be able to find our weaknesses

130

He is smart, but don't forget that

131

His master was Mr. Fan

132

Mr. Fan was our strategist for so long

133

He has seen our plans backwards and forwards

134

Maybe Mr. Fan informed him

135

Second Young Master, listen to my advice this time. You must not be careless.

136

He may be colluding with our enemies to bring you down

137

Jiangzuo would become his.

138

Uncle, from when we were kids,

139

You would always remind me that Liankai would ruin me

140

Ok. Then I must ask you, uncle.

141

What would you want me to do once I see Liankai again?

142

Kill him.

143

Third Young Master was captured alive by the enemy, but died in the midst of the confusion of our failed attempt to rescue him.

144

Your father has you three siblings.

145

Your older brother is disabled

146

If Liankai dies, you would be the only one left

147

It would remove the illness in your heart, as well as your father's

148

I think the only one with a illness in their heart is you!

149

-Second Master, are you mad? Are you drawing your sword at me?

-Young Marshall!

150

Uncle, do you have the guts to use my military sword

151

to cut off your left arm?

152

If you have the guts,

153

then I will promise you, if I ever see Third Brother,

154

I'll kill him.

155

But if Uncle can't do it,

156

then don't blame me to have brotherly affection.

157

I'll do everything I can to save my brother!

158

You!

159

Petty kindness.

160

[Yongnan City]

Stop!

161

I'm here for business. If I can't go in, I will be fined daily.

162

The order comes from above. Nobody can go in nor out during wartime.

163

Don't stop. Keep singing.

164

Miss Min, the Fu army is getting closer and closer to Yongnan.

165

There are many refugees gathering at the Yongnan gate, ready to rebel.

166

We can escape during the riot. Go pack your bags and let's leave right now.

167

Why do we have to leave?

168

The play is just getting exciting.

169

Miss Min, it's not the time to watch a play right now.

170

Why not?

171

There are rules to be in a play,

172

and there are etiquettes to watching the play. The play just started,

173

if we leave right now, it's disrespectful.

174

But Chief Marshal will be worried.

175

I know he cares about me,

176

So I have to watch this play till the end.

177

Look at the people on the stage, they all painted their faces.

178

We don't know their true colors.

179

Only after the play is over, during curtain call that you can see clearly.

180

So no matter what, I'm not leaving.

181

Even if the stage collapses, I will wait till the end.

182

I was born in the village, came from a poor family.

183

I joined the military when I was young, became a part of Tian Meng Association.

184

-I know who you are.

-You know who I am?

185

That's right. My father always talks about you.

186

Your father talks about me?

187

How does he describe me?

188

Do you really care about what my father thinks?

189

To be honest I don't care who you are. But what is important,

190

is that my father always talks about the relationship of the three of you.

191

What is our relationship?

192

You know my Master, and you understand my father.

193

Don't move!

194

Tell them to drop the guns.

195

Drop the guns.

196

Drop them!

197

I have to go out. Tell them to show me the way.

198

Are you going to let me go?

199

Yun Ji Xue.

200

How do you know my mother's name?

201

How do you know my mother's name?

202

I already told you. I'm just a normal member of Tian Meng Association.

203

You can continue to lie about Tian Meng Association,

204

but your lie won't stay undiscovered for much longer,

205

because not many people know my mother's name!

206

You came from Yi family, correct? You know my mother, right?

207

Tell me!

208

-I don't know her.

-I have no memory of you,

209

how did you find out my mother's name? Tell me!

210

It's a coincidence.

211

What a coincidence.

212

You reminded me of something.

213

Who?

214

Say it.

215

You know my family.

216

You know my Master, my father, my mother and even me!

217

You could be our old family friend, an enemy, a relative,

218

but you are definitely not a normal member of Tian Meng Association!

219

Reporting

220

You can leave now

221

You're letting me go?

222

Open the doors to the jail!

-How do you know my mother's name?!

223

TELL ME!

224

Hurry up, let's go.

225

Second Misstress

-Open the door

226

The Chief Marshall had an order that to meet Third Misstress

227

You must have a notice from the Chief Marshall. Just wait and I can ask for you

228

No need. I'm just here to deliver a meal.

229

But Eldest Misstress is usually the one to deliver food.

230

We're both her sisters-in-law, does it matter if it's the first or second? Just open the door.

231

This...

232

What's the matter? Do you think I'll help her escape?

233

I don't dare

234

How come you're here today, Yanyun?

235

Why can't I come by?

236

I was the one who saved your life.

237

I've let you make jokes

238

Oh right! I've brought some dishes. There all Liankai's favorites

239

Perhaps, you'll enjoy them too

240

I've been trapped indoors for so long,

241

That I haven't heard of anything new happening

242

Have you heard of any news?

243

Anything regarding Lan Po?

244

There's still no news about Lan Po

245

No news to me,

246

might actually be good news.

247

Sometimes, I would rather have someone tell me the results

248

Lan Po will definitely come back

249

Or else, you wouldn't even have the chance to cry

250

Everyone says,

251

Crying is the most useless thing

252

But sometimes,

253

You can't resist this useless action

254

I'm jealous of you

255

Jealous of what?

256

Jealous of you.

257

Every family member is worried about Lan Po, but you

258

Can wholeheartedly care for him

259

Become sick and cry for him

260

Wait to make sure he's not dead, and even die for him

261

What's the point?

262

I don't even know if he's dead or alive.

263

I can just sit here

264

I can't even do anything for him

265

Don't worry. Yunxi will surely save him.

266

Yanyun, I've mistaken you

267

You love Lan Po so much, you wouldn't hurt him

268

Only you can help him now.

269

Let him come home safely, and I'll let you have him

270

What nonsense are you saying?

271

Like you, I'm here inside the Yi Manor. I don't know anything about the war situation at all.

272

How can I help him?

273

You can message Lianshen. As long as Lianshen comes back,

274

Lan Po will be safe

275

Are you too feverish?

276

If Yunxi comes back, it will only be more dangerous for Lan Po alone in Yong Nan

277

Yong Nan is already controlled by Tian Meng Association

278

Yunxi is currently battling them

279

Right now, they are still 20 li away from Yongnan.

280

Tomorrow or the next day, might the day we receive news about victory

281

Victory?

282

Victory to me,

283

Is the worst news

284

Yanyun, I beg you

285

As if you're helping Lan Po

286

Send a telegram requesting Lianshen return

287

As long as Lianshen returns, Lan Po surely won't die

288

What do you mean by that?

289

Are you worried that since Lan Po is under the hands of Tian Meng Association

290

if they get agitated because of Yunxi's attacks,

291

So they'll execute Lan Po?

292

No.

293

The ones most likely to kill Lan Po aren't Tian Meng

294

But Lianshen

295

There's no way

296

Just to save Lan Po, Yunxi put down all his military duties here in Fu Yuan.

297

After saving you, he brought his troops straight to Yong Nan

298

To second guess him like this is so disrespectful.

-YanYun

299

Mr. Fan's aspirations for Lan Po

300

You should know best.

301

Whether Lianshen views Lan Po as a brother or threat,

302

You should also know very well.

303

If Lianshen captures Lan Po, to kill or to save

304

You think about it.

305

You words are baseless.

306

They're only your conspiracies

307

Last time Lianshen's aide tried assassinating Lan Po.

You should remember this right?

308

And after you were both kidnapped...

-Stop talking!

309

I've already told Father

310

What?

311

Why else would I be locked here then?

312

If Father weren't worried, he would have just punished me

313

YanYun, are you really not worried?

314

You're crazy!

-Yes, I am crazy!

315

But if I don't do anything. Lianshen will kill Lan Po.

316

Enough! If Lianshen wanted to kill Liankai, he would have done so already.

317

Why would he choose this time to do it? Don't try to start conflicts in my marriage.

318

Because I won't believe a word you say

319

[Yongnan City]

Charge!

320

Young Marshall!

What is the situation?

321

All the Tian Meng Association here in Yongnan City has been completely destroyed by us.

322

Tian Meng Association set up their command center inside the Cheng family manor.

323

We've already turned the Cheng Manor upside down. Their people have already withdrawn.

324

Send the order. Search all of Yong Nan.

325

Even if you have dig three feet down, you have to find me their leader.

326

Yes!

327

Wait, has there been any news about Liankai?

328

Not yet. We're still seaching

329

Lincheng, you father's intent

330

Was for me to kill Liankai

331

But my motive is to save Liankai

332

What do you think?

333

I'll support your wishes Second Mister

334

Very good. If there is any news about Liankai, notify me first.

335

Yes!

Go on.

336

Hurry up! Go this way!

337

This way.

-Quickly, hide.

338

Go...

339

Hurry!

340

Here!

341

Hurry!

342

Hurry and run!

343

Reporting. We haven't found Liankai

344

Go to the Cheng Manor.

345

Hurry and run!

346

Can I ask, what's happening?

347

The Fu army has breached.

From which direction?

348

That way.

349

Mr. Cheng, regarding the whereabouts of the leader of the Tian Meng Association,

350

Do you know of it?

351

Since those bandits came to our house,

352

he locked us all up.

353

As for where they've gone and what they've done,

354

I really don't know.

355

Young Marshall, I found some documents in the office.

356

Mr. Cheng, since the previous command center of the Tian Meng Association was set up here in your house,

357

I need to search again. Sincere apologies.

358

Even if they've retreated so hastily, they didn't leave any traces.

359

This mastermind has really hid himself well.

360

Who do you think it is?

361

[Jail]

362

Mr. Chen, where is the Yong Nan jail?

363

This was written by Liankai.

364

He wrote it so clear and neatly,

365

It seems that there was no imminent danger

366

Young Marshall

367

There are no signs of fighting.

368

These handcuffs don't show signs of getting tinkered with.

369

It seems that Liankai was released

370

Released?

371

Then where do you think Liankai would go?

372

Probably to find me. Let's go back to the Cheng manor.

373

Who is it?

374

Go take a look.

375

Ms. Min

376

Is everything ok?

377

Thank you for saving me.

378

I could have lost my life

379

Ms. Min, you're welcome. This place is not safe.

380

Lingzhi, take Ms. Min to a safe place.

381

Yes.

382

LAN PO!

383

You're still alive.

384

I'm sure you're still alive.

385

I'm not afraid of anything.

386

Lan Po,

387

I'm waiting for you here.

388

Waiting for you to come back and find me.

389

Here. And here.

390

Third Master.

391

Where is my second brother?

He's currently at the Cheng Manor.

392

Upon entering Yongnan, he has searched the area upside down

393

for he was afraid that the Tian Meng Association have captured you.

394

Have you found the leader of Tian Meng Association?

395

We didn't find it. They fled too quickly.

396

But thankfully, you are safe

397

How is third misstress?

398

Don't worry. She is back at the manor safely.

399

That's good.

400

Third master, second master must be waiting for us. Let's leave.

401

Let's go.

402

Who are you all? What are you doing?

403

Hurry up and leave Liankai.

404

How are you here Mr. Pan?

405

I just went into the troops. They're all Lianshen's men.

406

They saw that I was your subordinate, so I wasn't given any official rank

407

As Lianshen was entering Yong Nan, he didn't bring me along

408

I heard you were in trouble, so I rushed to come here

409

My life has been saved by you on multiple occasions now

410

Third Young Master, you are really brave.

411

Even near death, you can make jokes

412

Hurry back to Fu Yuan

413

I heard that the people who were trying to kill you,

414

Were Lianshen's men

415

I don't believe this is my second brother's doing

416

I need to personally ask him

417

Ok. I will protect you.

418

We will wait here. Not to leave.

419

The city gates have now been sealed. Send our soldiers to shout at the streets and alleys.

420

Just say that I am waiting for him at Cheng Manor.

421

If Liankai hears this, he'll surely come to find me.

422

Yes.

423

Liankai!

424

It really is you

425

Second Master

Mr. Pan

426

It really is you

427

As long as you're back, we're glad.

428

We have been searching for you like crazy.

429

Hurry and rest. Tomorrow morning, we'll return to Fu Yuan

430

They'll be having a private conversation

431

You all can leave now

432

Is there anything?

433

Lianshen, I have a question for you

434

Ask away

435

Did you try to murder me?

436

Why would you think that?

437

After leaving Yong Nan's jail,

438

I ran into two soldiers dressed in our uniforms

439

Said that they would protect me

440

But attempted to kill me

441

So I am asking if you ordered it

442

Liankai, I can wholeheartedly swear

443

I couldn't have brought these two soldiers

444

All these years,

445

I've always had people suggesting I get rid of you

446

But I never took action

447

I know, our dad wants you to be my training horse

448

But I'm sorry. I don't need it

449

You can ask anyone in our militia

450

Who is unsatisfied with me

451

I've become Young Marshall,

452

Based on my own skills

453

Of course, I could listen to them

454

And get rid of you

455

But what would happen after I kill you?

456

Would Jiangzuo become mine?

457

Would I own the world

458

Don't forget about Li Chongnian, Mu Rongchen, Jiang Shuanxi,

459

And Liang Xingbei, these old men waiting for me

460

And you think that...

-Lianshen

461

Sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you

462

Liankai, I understand

463

You've suffered too much

464

Endured enough hardships

465

But remember that

466

You can suspect anyone else

467

Anyone else can suspect me, except for you

468

You cannot suspect me

469

Because you are my younger brother

470

Miss Min, it's already very late

471

Why did you ask me to meet you?

472

Mr. Pan, it seems I've underestimated you in the past

473

You said you would come to Yong Nan, and did.

474

Said you would save Liankai, and did.

475

Such capabilities, I had never heard of beforehand

476

If I knew earlier, I would have used it to my benefit.

477

I am just an ordinary citizen that was given importance by Third Young Master.

478

His safety is naturally my duty.

479

If Liankai came to YongNan, naturally I had to follow

480

Miss Min has the protection of Second Young Master,

481

hence, you surely will be safe. If there is nothing else,

482

I should take my leave now

483

Mr. Pan

484

Regarding your background,

485

I also know a thing or two.

486

We are just both acting for self-interest. Why must you treat me this way?

487

As the old saying goes, "Knowing oneself and your enemy well will make you win all battles."

488

I know myself, but not my enemy.

489

How can I dare to be careless?

490

What a good 'knowing yourself and your enemy well and you will never lose'.

491

Is there any news on Lan Po?

492

Eldest Sister-in-Law, please tell me! Is there any news?

493

They found Lan Po.

494

Your second brother just sent us a message

495

Said that they would come back immediately

496

All the shops in the city have resumed business.

497

I've already informed them that

498

From this day forward, Yong Nan's business

499

Is also Yi Household's business

500

I don't understand the terms of business

501

But since you've discussed with Liankai,

502

Yi Household will surely protect this agreement

503

Young Marshal is benevolent and righteous.

504

With those words, the businessmen will surely wholeheartedly

505

try to improve further the economy of Yongnan.

506

Thank you, Mr. Cheng.

507

Uncle, is anything wrong?

508

I need to report something.

509

Young Marshall, I should take my leave then

510

Forgive me for being unable to walk you out.

511

You notified the family already?

512

I have.

513

Said you found Liankai and that you are bringing him back immediately?

514

Of course

515

You're really dumb. If he goes back, what use will you still be?

516

Uncle, why are you starting this again?

517

I am thinking with your best interest

518

Use this chance of the Third Young Master missing and Tian Meng Association causing a ruckus,

519

just directly...
