[Episode 34]

15

Packing things?

16

We'll be leaving soon.

17

In this trip to Europe, don't know when we can be back.

18

I've already scanned all the items we have in the house.

19

I've packed those that must be brought and left the rest.

20

What about you?

21

Same with me.

22

Be careful not to infect your hand wound.

23

I've already put antiseptics.

24

- That's good then.

- Lan Po...

25

Okay already.

26

When we reach Europe, we'll be starting our new life.

27

Continue packing then.

28

Twice earlier, the Murong family and Chief Marshal Li

29

have already given their conditions.

30

But the Fuyuan Yi Family kept not showing any moves.

31

Looks like the Yi family has proposed a condition that's quite a dilemma.

32

I have premonition that the most critical mallet in this negotiation is going to be hammered in this last sound.

33

Every conditions that our Chief Marshal Li suggested were negligible.

34

But when Chief Marshal Yi talks, they are all major conditions.

35

Our Chief Marshal Li went up to Zhishan

36

with sincerity to achieve a partnership.

37

But Chief Marshal Yi set up this event here in Zhishan,

38

and with one mouth, he's opening it like a lion (asking excessively).

39

Also, he had to haggle up to the last cent.

40

Mr. Fu, if you Chief Marshal Li is really willing to sacrifice for peace, I then will admire him for it.

41

But negotiations are negotiations, not a comparison of character.

42

We are doing this for the whole China and not for just one person.

43

Of course, we must act cautiously.

44

How can we not be cautious. We're not just talking about self-interest here.

45

Also, reputation. Every words they say in there will recorded in history.

46

Reporting!

47

Three quarters past sishi (9 - 11 am), Chief Marshal Yi Jipei actively suggested that the army

48

of Li Chongnian be officially transferred under the command of the Fu Army to implement the provincial autonomy plan.

49

The Fu Army will be under the command of the future Jiangzuo Allied Government.

50

Set a date to establish a Jiangzuo Political Council

51

that will select the members of the Jiangzuo Allied Government.

52

In drinking wine, you must drink it by a mouthful. In drinking tea,

53

you must slowly taste it.

54

Father-in-law, since I was little, I never had such leisurely and cultured interests.

55

Asking me to drink tea is like a cow grazing on peonies.

56

Actually, what I'm letting you taste today is a gongfu tea (skills tea).

57

What we're tasting here is not the tea, but the skills.

58

May I ask father-in-law what skills are we talking about?

59

The skills of being husband and wife.

60

In marriage, what's most important is

61

acceptance, admiration, and accommodation.

62

Acceptance pertains to accepting the good traits of the other party.

63

At the same time, accommodating her shortcomings.

64

Only by that can a marriage couple be harmonious and last forever.

65

We have an old saying here in China,

66

"It takes a ten years to be given a fate of staying in a ship together.

67

It takes a hundred years to obtain a fate of sleeping on the same bed.

68

If you're fated, you will meet even if you're thousands of li apart. If you're not fated, you wouldn't get to hold hands even if you're just standing face to face."

69

You and Qin Sang can be said to be fated to be together in this life.

70

Understand?

71

Before Qin Sang married you,

72

you also know about our family situation. Her mother

73

is a daughter of a rich clan, while I'm from a poor family.

74

Our difference is too great.

75

After getting married, we kept having conflicts and arguments.

76

But every time, we would sit down,

77

prepare some tea, and taste it.

78

Once you could smell the tea scent, we would stop fighting.

79

That's why, a married couple is like tasting tea.

80

The main point is you two must try to understand each other. That's the skill.

81

Here.

82

Taste it.

83

After drinking it like that, it does taste different.

84

If you really want appreciate the flavor of a tea,

85

you're still too amateur for it. A person

86

living in this world can't be spotless.

87

I also have been young once. When I was young, I also courted so many girls.

88

But those are in the past.

89

From now on, as a father, I just hope that you can treat Qin Sang well.

90

Here.

91

Let us slowly taste this tea.

92

I don't understand. If Yi Jipei and Li Chongnian merge, it will only be disadvantageous for us.

93

Father, why did you suddenly change your mind?

94

Didn't we come up the mountain this time to make them impede each other?

95

Could it be Yi Jipei used some thing to threaten you?

96

Threaten?

97

In this world, other than your life, what else can be a threat to me?

98

Then, why did you suddenly change your mind?

99

Have you heard that La Marseilles song?

100

But what kind of song is that?

101

It's not only a song.

102

It even represents a person.

103

Chief Marshal Li, I don't understand.

104

I've already set up a clever method to break the provincial autonomy plan.

105

Why then did you agree with their condition of changing our military banner?

106

Yi Jipei had me listen to a song.

107

A song?

108

You two have survived the ten years of chaotic wars here in Jiangzuo.

109

You two surely know this song, right?

110

I probably don't need to make introductions. I'm sure everyone knows her.

111

Ms. Min, I don't know if you're working for Chief Marshal Li or Brother Murong.

112

But the fact that you're able to come up to Zishan at this moment,

113

I'm sure that these words will reach you sooner or later.

114

Chief Marshal, you're praising me too much. Since time immemorial, women love a hero.

115

And everyone here are current heroes of the world.

116

I'm just very observant of all your actions. Just that.

117

Why must I be working for anyone?

118

After listening to this music,

119

what are your thoughts?

120

This song made me remember an old friend.

121

His past voice and smiling face seems like it's just in front of me. Impossible to drive away.

122

Making one shiver in fear.

123

So, Chief Marshal Li also suffered greatly under this person?

124

10 years ago, I also encountered the team that sang this song.

125

That battle is still so fresh in my memories.

126

But what then is your purpose in playing it today?

127

That's right, 10 years ago he asked his troops to sing this La Marseilles song and swept across the whole Jiangzuo.

128

You two have fought and met him.

129

But now, the person singing this song is called Liang Xingbei.

130

His wild ambition is too great. The fire in the Yi Manor before didn't burn down his ambition.

131

It instead turned him to a more frightening person.

132

He has kept that fire in his heart ever since.

133

Now, his wild ambition is to sweep across the whole Jiangzuo again.

134

So, Chief Marshal Yi is asking us two outsiders to intervene in a mess within Jiangzuo?

135

Jiangzuo's mess is everyone's mess.

136

He wants to cause trouble in Jiangzuo using idealism.

137

He is buying the people's hearts first, then gobble up the whole Jiangzuo.

138

Aren't you two afraid?

139

If a territory is lost, you can just go grab it again.

140

But if you lost the heart of the people, it's hard to earn it back.

141

He is our common enemy.

142

Now, what he brought us are the flames of war.

143

We still have the chance to put it off.

144

But if he is able to light up that fire in human hearts,

145

we won't be able to put it off anymore.

146

So, father used a common enemy to convince father-in-law and Li Chongnian.

147

This method is quite clever.

148

We just don't know now if father-in-law and Li Chongnian are really sincere in working with you

149

to eliminate Tian Meng Association first.

150

Not only have my words entered their ears, it also entered the bottom of their hearts.

151

But just counting on them isn't enough.

152

Presently, we must rush back to Fuyuan.

153

Your Sixth Uncle is shrewd, crafty, and has connections within our army.

154

If I'm unable to return, I fear that Fuyuan will be in big trouble.

155

We must light up 3 fires in Jiangzuo.

156

These 3 fires are not going to burn houses or cities, but human hearts.

157

Mr. Liang, from the information we got, the train tracks to Fanjiadian has been destroyed by a landslide.

158

They still need time to restore normal transportation.

159

That's why, to go home, they must first ride a train to Fangjiadian, then transfer to a car.

160

Now, the Yi family has already sent out cars to fetch Yi Jipei back to Fuyuan.

161

Okay. Do every means necessary to stop Yijipei. Don't let him return to Fuyuan.

162

Tianxuan, immediately sneak back inside the hospital and tell this news to Pan Jianchi.

163

- If we're successful, tell him to find a chance to escape.

- Yes.

164

Chief Marshal, in this trip to Zhishan, I really benefited a lot. Thank you.

165

I'm very happy that you two were able to treat me with utmost cordiality. It's just that, I have one more request.

166

Say it.

167

The travel back is quite far and long. I'm a bit afraid. Don't know if I can join the two of you.

168

Of course, you can. It's our honor.

169

We do still have such kind of gentleman etiquette.

170

Thank you, Chief Marshal. I'll just put my luggage in your car.

171

Father, this is a dangerous woman.

172

It is exactly because she's dangerous, that's why, I'm saving her by my side.

173

Yunxi.

174

- Yanyun.

- Where are you going?

175

I'll go fetch father and eldest brother.

176

How come you need to have such a huge party?

177

You don't know it yet but we just received news earlier that father and eldest brother are returning to Fuyuan today.

178

But a landslide suddenly happened in Fangjiadian. Plus the fact that Liang Xingbei's group is crafty and cunning.

179

I'm a bit worried about their safety.

180

Since it was father that said he'll be coming back, he must have made proper arrangements.

181

Indeed. But I'm still worried.

182

I must personally fetch them. Don't worry. I'll be back soon.

183

Go back and wait for me.

184

Daughter, I'm giving you my watch.

185

Don't forget the time in your home country.

186

Once you're in Europe and you get mad or have arguments with Lan Po,

187

don't waste time on insignificant details.

188

Father, don't worry. I have a sense of propriety.

189

Father-in-law, these are tea leaves and a tea set I bought for you.

190

Okay.

191

Why are you giving him those?

192

Look.

193

Lan Po is trustworthy.

194

Child, treat him well. Okay?

195

Okay. Don't worry.

196

Okay already. I'm going now.

197

Take care on the road, father.

198

Father-in-law, take care.

199

Take care.

200

I promised father-in-law that I will take good care of you.

201

Father has left. I feel like I'm alone again.

202

You still have me.

203

Once we've settled down in Europe,

204

let's have a child.

205

Okay.

206

Say, if we go to Europe, can we really forget everything?

207

If we want to forget, we will forget.

208

[Hong'en Hospital]

209

[Ward Area]

210

Mr. Pan, how have you been feeling lately?

211

Quite well.

212

Looks like you've recovered quite well.

213

There's sensation. This leg isn't crippled.

214

What you mean is I still have the chance to escape.

215

Shouldn't you send a group to guard me?

216

You are too crafty. We must be stringently vigilant with you.

217

Hey.

218

The patient's wound mustn't be casually touched. It might get infected.

219

Mr. Pan, how do you feel now?

220

Everything is fine.

221

Just continue resting like this. Soon, you can be discharged.

222

Let's go. He should rest.

223

Let's go.

224

[Entrance]

225

My personal guards haven't arrived yet. Ms. Min, why don't you go home first?

226

Sure.

227

How much longer?

228

We're there soon.

229

He turned that car so fast. Is that the car fetching Yi Jipei?

230

We can't miss this chance. Prepare.

231

Based on the time, they should have arrived already.

232

Let's wait for a while more.

233

Father, Eldest Brother.

234

- You're here.

- The car is outside.

235

Let's go.

236

- Reporting to Chief Marshal!

- Say it.

237

Qian Housheng got shot while on his way here.

238

What?

239

Since time immemorial, people die. Just hope that they didn't go with hatred.

240

No matter how mighty a man is when he was alive,

241

upon dying, all are similarly lonely.

242

Father, Uncle Qin blocked this shot for you.

243

Qin Housheng wasn't suitable to be in the political stage to begin with.

244

Sometimes, his views were even inferior to his daughter.

245

I've always looked down on this in-law.

246

But in the most unexpected moment, I actually got to owe him my life.

247

Father, we mustn't stay here long.

248

If Sixth Uncle's men will return, we'll be in danger.

249

In-law, for Jiangzuo's greater picture,

250

I have to temporarily make you suffer.

251

Once the situation stabilizes,

252

I will personally dig up your corpse and bury you properly.

253

We were just too anxious to gain merit and rushed our attack.

254

Not only did we recognize the wrong car, we killed the wrong person.

255

You all have worked hard. Go back early and rest.

256

Yes.

257

Yes.

258

Yi Jipei, we should meet again.

259

Father.

260

The negotiations in Zhishan was a success. Jiangzuo will be in peace from now on.

261

Congratulations, Brother-in-law.

262

Qin Sang, I saw your father.

263

Your father told me that the weather in Europe is very cold.

264

He asked that you two bring more clothes.

265

Since you'll be on a ship for a month, bring more medicines,

266

to ward against some contagious diseases.

267

I know already, father.

268

We'll be discussing some political matters. Don't follow anymore.

269

Father, you're bringing me here...

270

Six was locked up in here.

271

After that fire, we found his corpse in his room.

272

For so many years, this house was never renovated.

273

Father, did you ever verify if that corpse was him?

274

That time, Mr. Fan was standing tall and seeing far.

275

Before Six was able to do a mutiny,

276

Mr. Fan has already made preparations.

277

He didn't leave him any chance.

278

Or else, with his power in the army, it would have been hard for me to lock him in here.

279

Could it be possible that Sixth Uncle's old men helped him?

280

Impossible. His relationship with his old men have long been severed.

281

The situation then was totally irreversible.

282

I really can't understand how he was able to survive.

283

Father, I am 90% sure

284

that this Liang Xingbei is Sixth Uncle.

285

But when you mentioned the past, I also can't understand.

286

I'll continue investigating.

287

Don't investigate anymore. It must be him.

288

Why are you so sure?

289

Do you still remember when you were little,

290

I asked someone to make a sword and a dagger to be given to you and Third?

291

But while Third was not around, you took both away.

292

You even got hit by me.

293

I could remember it slightly.

294

I remember this matter very well.

295

When I hit you, I asked you why you did it.

296

You said that the dagger should be yours.

297

If Third was asked to choose, he surely will choose the sword.

298

But you like the sword more.

299

After you saying that, I indeed remember it now.

300

After hearing those words, you hit me more heavily.

301

You said that brothers shouldn't fight.

302

It was a matter that could have been resolved with both of us taking a step back.

303

Moreover, if Third returns, he might not really choose that sword.

304

But I still didn't give in.

305

Afterwards, Third returned and he indeed chose the sword.

306

You two then repeatedly competed.

307

And in the end, the sword ended up with him.

308

Now, I have no choice but to believe

309

that no one can know a brother more than his brother.

310

Father, since we're sure now that it's Sixth Uncle that's causing trouble,

311

then the truth behind Aide-de-camp Song attempting to assassinate Third is now clear.

312

I think we should not let Third leave anymore. Just let him stay.

313

Let us three brothers help you stabilize the Jiangzuo situation first.

314

We could have initially done that.

315

But it's already too late.

316

You're talking about Qin Housheng?

317

That's right.

318

Old Six...

319

Chief Marshal, your back has curved by 2 centimeters.

320

Your waist is also 2 cun wider.

321

You shoulder is also a centimeter lower than before.

322

Before, I felt that clothes represent one's reputation.

323

Now, I know that clothes are indeed one's reputation and one's burden.

324

These clothes must be altered to be worthy of the first Chairman of Jiangzuo's Provincial Autonomous Government.

325

Worthy?

326

A young man should have great ambitions.

327

That time, I just wanted to keep climbing.

328

I had the shallowest relationship with Qin Housheng.

329

But his death is the most touching.

330

Fan Zhiheng, Old Champ, Qin Housheng...

331

I've already lived half of my life.

332

Seeing each of them falling down, I feel so lonely.

333

It is now that I really sense that I'm old.

334

You're not feeling old. You're feeling that the burden on your shoulders have become heavier.

335

Your 3 sons are now adults.

336

Leaving them by your side can be of help to you.

337

Why then are you still letting Third Young Master leave

338

and not let them share your burden?

339

Third found the corpse of his mother in her old manor.

340

Old manor? Didn't Third Madam died from jumping into the pond? Could it be...

341

I also want to now the truth.

342

But I can't bear to think about it, to look for it.

343

Searching the past will change the future.

344

Third must leave. This is for his good.

345

Even if you don't want to search the past, the past will still haunt you.

346

Why have you suddenly thought of coming to such a place?

347

It looks scary.

348

Qian'er, don't be afraid.

349

This place might be hiding a secret of the Yi family.

350

Third Mother died. Sixth Uncle got burned to death. I fell of a horse.

351

The timing of all these matters was so close to each other.

352

I can't help but to be suspicious.

353

When I fell off the horse, Sixth Uncle still hasn't been locked up in this house.

354

How did he set up men to make me fall off the horse?

355

And why did he do it?

356

Xianqiao, things have happened so long ago.

357

Just let it pass.

358

Why must you keep hanging on to it and bring yourself problems?

359

Others can be allowed to pass,

360

but the truth behind how half of my body got destroyed,

361

I must find out.

362

After disguising as my mother, did he say anything after seeing you?

363

He threw the earring into the river and said that he doesn't want to talk about it.

364

He doesn't want to talk about it, but I must.

365

As a son, I won't stop until I find out the truth.

366

Third Young Master, you'll be leaving Jiangzuo soon.

367

I will not easily leave.

368

What about Qin Sang? You promised her that you'll go to Europe.

369

There are some words that I don't know if I should say it or not.

370

What matters can't be said?

371

Recently, I kept thinking on how Sixth Uncle has escaped.

372

Third Mother's death. Sixth Uncle's fire. All these

373

are connected.

374

Stop saying it.

375

Father, if we don't find out the truth behind these—

376

What's the connection between these things?! Stop guessing!

377

Father, since I got injured,

378

it's your first time being this angry at me.

379

Xianqiao, among you 3 brothers,

380

I trust in you the most.

381

Even if you're a cripple now, it's still the same.

382

It is because you know how to put the general interest above all. You don't get obsessed.

383

But even you are insisting to investigate some past truth.

384

The Yi family will never have any peaceful times then.

385

Father,

386

no one was born to be mindful of the greater interest.

387

I am able to do it because I'm unable to stand.

388

It is because I have no choice.

389

What can you do if you find out the truth?

390

Aren't you still left with no choice?

391

Check mate.

392

Chief Marshal Li, after your trip to Zhishan,

393

your chess skills have improved a lot. I admit defeat.

394

Mr. Fu was just distracted earlier.

395

Or else, you wouldn't have let me just march into your side like that.

396

Chief Marshal Li, Yi Jipei was able to finish the mobilization for provincial autonomy in Fuyuan.

397

He is rushing our Yizhou to immediately change our banner.

398

Looks like Yi Jipei is getting really anxious.

399

We have to make a move.

400

Mr. Fu, what's your idea?

401

Actually, our past battles were about military tactics.

402

All the weapons and natural advantages are just an outer shell.

403

The core part is the command.

404

Now, we're no different with the Fu Army.

405

The current provincial autonomy

406

is actually a fight on promotional battles.

407

But no matter what kind of battle it is, it's the same.

408

In shooting down the person, shoot down his horse first.

409

In catching the thief, catch his ruler first.

410

That's why, we must know who our enemy is.

411

Before, when we were having military battles, we're fighting Yi Lianshen. Now that we're in a political battle...

412

That's why, I must go to Fuyuan this time.

413

I have to offer our conditions to Yi Jipei.

414

Okay. You are the winner of the previous round.

415

Father, you're feeling unwell. Do you want me to call Dr. Song to check on you?

416

NO need. Why are you here?

417

Xiao Sang and I are leaving soon.

418

Before leaving, I want to talk with you.

419

Although the general situation of the provincial autonomy has been settled,

420

there are still a lot of details that can't be neglected.

421

Recently, I'm already overwrought because of these matters.

422

I'm unable to get away from it.

423

I still have some official matters to attend to.

424

You better go back first.

425

Fine then. I'll go now. Take care of your health.

426

Sang'er, there are still no letters from Qianping.

427

Could he have went to my cousin in the province?

428

Second Young Mistress.

429

Second Sister-in-law, you're out here for a stroll?

430

Looks like Third Sister-in-law is in a good mood.

431

You're not sewing flowers and plants, but sewing mountains and scenery.

432

Second Sister-in-law, you've overpraised me.

433

I just want to sew the Zhishan landscape.

434

Thinking about it, my first life and death experience with Lan Po

435

was in that place.

436

Don't forget.

437

You had to step over my father's corpse to go up Zhishan.

438

Chief Marshal Yi.

439

Is your leg better?

440

Good thing Third Young Master showed mercy.

441

The bullet didn't went through my bone.

442

I still am able to walk a little right now.

443

Sit.

444

You can leave now.

445

Chief Marshal, this...

446

I told you to leave.

447

Yes!

448

Chief Marshal Yi, don't waste any more effort.

449

Regarding Mr. Liang,

450

I will never say a word.

451

You've got it wrong. The reason why I want to see you today

452

I don't want to ask about Lao Liu, but about myself.

453

Why General Yi asking me about yourself?

454

Come,

455

let's play arm wrestling.

456

Well, are you afraid?

457

Forget it, you're injured.

458

If you weren't injured,

459

I don't think I can beat you.

460

Even if we don't compete, I can feel that,

461

your strength is more powerful than I can imagine.

462

What about compared to Six?
