[Episode 35]

14

Six used to like playing arm wrestling.

15

He must have played with you before. How about it?

16

Who is more powerful between us?

17

Even if I'm not hurt,

18

with him, I won't be able to last long.

19

This time, I've lost.

20

He is younger than me by 3 years.

21

This year, he has reached the average life span.

22

But he still has such powerful body? That's rare.

23

But don't look at him as being like that. He can't eat spicy food.

24

When he ate spicy food when we were little, he even cried.

25

How is he now? Can he eat spicy food now?

26

What is Chief Marshal Yi's purpose in telling me these?

27

Now, you two are trying to kill each other.

28

Could it be that you are reminiscing?

29

We are 6 brothers. But actually,

30

only Second, Sixth, and me were born from the same mother.

31

Third and the others were from another mother.

32

We all grew up together. We fought together.

33

I am asking you these because I want to know...

34

...if he hasn't changed these habits,

35

how come his feelings towards his brothers changed?

36

Mr. Liang isn't doing these for personal feelings.

37

He is doing it for ideals.

38

I don't understand ideals.

39

But you all risking your life to stand out must be for some important person.

40

If the important person has already gotten hurt,

41

the feelings have already been lost,

42

what's the use of talking about ideals?

43

Chief Marshal Yi is trying to attack my heart? (use psychological tactics)

44

Young lad, don't live like a porcupine.

45

Don't be on guard against everything.

46

I'm not attacking your heart. I'm trying to open our hearts to each other.

47

Thank you for Chief Marshal Yi's good intentions. It won't work.

48

You still don't understand.

49

I'm not opening my heart to you.

50

I'm opening my heart to my brother through you.

52

How long have the three of us talked intimately like this?

53

Do you still remember that when you two were little,

54

you would come to me to seek justice every time you two have a fight?

55

That time, the 3 of us have no barrier between us.

56

That's right.

57

That year when Third fell from the fake mountain,

58

Yanyun blamed me. Father blamed me too.

59

I went to Eldest Brother to reason out, but you also ignored me.

60

From then on, Third and I never fought again.

61

And we never competed on anything again.

62

Without any fights, your hearts then started to grow distant.

63

It's my fault that our hearts have grown distant from each other.

64

Eldest Brother, it's not your fault. Because that time, you were...

65

For these past years, seeing the open and underhand fights between you two,

66

I get anxious. There are some words that I wanted to say,

67

but unable to say them.

68

You are my eldest brother. I'll listen to anything that you say.

69

That's right. If Eldest Brother is willing to control us,

70

Third and I wouldn't end up like this today.

71

Do you two still remember the story of the fox dividing a cake?

72

In the end, the fox ate all the cake.

73

Now, you two are now adults.

74

You're not competing just for one cake, but the whole Jiangzuo.

75

That's why, for this lawsuit, I'm unable to make the decision anymore.

76

Eldest Brother, if not because you're leg injury,

77

this Jiangzuo cake should be yours.

78

It is exactly because of that that I don't want you two to feel that I'm that fox

79

who eventually ate the whole cake in the end.

80

That's why, I hope that we can be like when we were little

81

and just say all those grudges you have in your heart out.

82

It's fine if you're going to argue about it, or even fight because of it.

83

Today, let's stop hiding them in our hearts.

84

Eldest Brother, I'm leaving soon. There's nothing to say.

85

That's right, Eldest Brother. Things have already happened so long ago.

86

Stop mentioning them.

87

Okay. You two are really good brothers.

88

You won't argue nor fight anymore, is that it?

89

Assholes!

90

Warlords vying for supremacy and spreading their wings will only experience pain from having their flesh cut.

91

While brothers fighting and hiding secrets between each others, that's what you call a sting in one's heart! (hidden trouble)

92

Now, the Yi family is facing danger. If you two still don't wake up, then the Yi family will really be done for!

93

Do you two really want to see me die from agitation

94

before that childhood naivety will get waken up?

95

You two think about it well.

96

I am the second brother. You hit first.

97

Second Brother, you're the young marshal. You get to hit first.

98

I'm older than you for several years. After calling me second brother for so many years, I should let you go first.

99

If I caused your face to be severely swollen, won't that be shaming father's reputation?

100

If I hit you hard and destroyed your face,

101

then those women of yours outside will...

102

When we were little, you destroyed all those things but father and mother blamed them all on me!

103

Why won't you return to me that wooden sword that father gave me?!

104

When we were little, you kept taking my things!

105

But father and the others kept telling me to yield to you!

106

Eldest Mother has been strict with you since we were little, but kept ignoring me. I envy you!

107

This again?

108

You tickled me?!

109

So what? You already bit me and I can't even tickle you?

110

Good! You two have finally reconciled. Good!

111

Second Brother.

112

Go then.

113

Third! Second, you must help me. Third!

114

Third! Third!

115

Go away!

116

Eat some edible tree fungus. It's good for your health.

117

What's wrong?

118

Nothing. Just a little sprain.

119

No speaking while eating and sleeping. Stop it already. Eat.

120

Father, it's fine.

121

The 3 of us reviewed some childhood games earlier. We might have played too excessively.

122

Don't worry. I'm fine.

123

Did the two of them bully you?

124

No.

125

Father, how could Third and I bully Eldest Brother?

126

The two of us won't do such things.

127

That's right, father. We didn't bully him.

128

But Second Brother, he bullied me. He pressed me down the ground and hit me.

129

Third, you should have an evidence when accusing people. Where's your evidence?

130

I have. Eldest Brother is my witness.

131

I'll let father see the bite marks then.

132

- Enough.

- My evidence is Eldest Brother.

133

Stop it already.

134

Father, it's fine. They won't dare bully me.

135

If they do, I'll spank their butt one by one.

136

Today is a happy day. Let us all drink some wine.

137

Let us 3 brothers give father a toast.

138

It's so good for a family to be happy together. Come.

139

Xiao Sang.

140

Do you feel better?

141

Don't worry. I'm always here.

142

After parting in Zhishan, has Chief Marshal Li been well?

143

Thank you for Chief Marshal Yi's concerns.

144

Although Yizhou isn't as populous as Fuyuan, it is able to cater to the needs of its citizens.

145

Chef Marshal Li's health is fine.

146

It's just that recently, he's a bit melancholic.

147

Why? Is anything bothering him?

148

Yes. Actually, everyone knows that our Yizhou has always been a military commandery.

149

We have always lacked a talent in economics.

150

Today, I am being bold to ask for someone from Chief Marshal Yi.

151

Who?

152

Eldest Young Master.

153

That seems inappropriate. Xianqiao's health has always been bad.

154

You all know that.

155

We clearly know that.

156

But the present peace treaty has the bearing of a great general. It's for the good of the general situation.

157

But Commander Yao and the others under him are objecting.

158

If Chief Marshal Li doesn't give them an acceptable explanation, it's hard to convince the public.

159

Eldest Young Master is your eldest son and is very smart and good in tactics.

160

If you can agree to let Eldest Young Master return with me to Yizhou, that would be a very good method to placate the public.

161

So, what Chief Marshal Li wants isn't a talent but a hostage.

162

It's not really like that. Let's be frank then.

163

Murong Chen and the Yi family are related by marriage.

164

And then, Yongnan's Cheng family is a very rich clan.

165

The eldest young master Cheng Yunzhi is also your relative. Only our Yizhou is an outsider.

166

If we don't have anyone in our hands, how can we believe your Jiangzuo?

167

Go back and tell Li Chongnian that I won't agree to this matter.

168

Mr. Fu, please tell Chief Marshal Li that I'll go to Yizhou.

169

Inform Ms. Min later. Let's go.

170

Eldest Brother, don't say it anymore.

171

Father and I will surely never agree to let you go to Yizhou and be hostage. Just give up on it.

172

Second Little Brother, provincial autonomy is my lifelong political dream.

173

For it, I've did research for more than 10 years.

174

If I have to give my ideals just for my personal safety, I can't bear to.

175

You can't bear to? You can't bear your political ideals? Can you then bear to part with Eldest Sister-in-law?

176

If you'll go to Yizhou, Eldest Sister-in-law will surely follow.

177

Can you bear to let her go with you to Yizhou and be a hostage?

178

Your Eldest Sister-in-law mustn't go with me.

179

Okay. She's not going. How then are you going to make her cut off the relationship between the two of you?

180

Don't forget. She's the daughter of the Murong clan.

181

If she ended up in the hands of Li Chongnian, he surely will devise a new plan.

182

By then, we would have really fallen into Fu Rongcai's three birds with one stone trick.

183

Eldest, have you really decided?

184

Father, since I got injured, I have never felt this excited for battle.

185

Just let me join this smokeless war.

186

Eldest Brother, is your political ideals really that important? What about Eldest Sister-in-law?

187

Our relationship has always been good.

188

For so many years, other than our mother,

189

the woman who treated me the best is your Eldest Sister-in-law.

190

But compared to the stabilization of the Jiangzuo situation and the peace and happiness of the citizens,

191

our romantic affair is too unimportant.

192

Then...can we really not get it both ways?

193

Second Little Brother, you must know that a lot of things in this world are like fish and bear paw, you can only have one.

194

Eldest Brother, I understand.

195

Don't worry. Once you left,

196

Yanyun and I will surely take good care of Eldest Sister-in-law.

197

Please then.

198

Okay.

199

Qian'er, nothing will happen. Don't be too worried.

200

Father and Li Chongnian had achieved an agreement in Zhishan. I'm just going as a political representative

201

to supervise the construction of Yizhou. This also serves as proof of goodwill.

202

Once the provincial autonomy is established, I will naturally return.

203

Don't worry. Just be at ease.

204

Promise me...you will surely return, right?

205

I will surely return.

206

Eldest Brother, we all don't know what's waiting for you in this trip to Yizhou.

207

You must be careful.

208

Don't worry, Second Little Brother. I'm ready.

209

Once I'm gone, I'm entrusting the household matters to you.

210

Okay. Don't worry. You have me to handle them.

211

It's just that you have to send someone to inform me if there are any new situation in Yizhou. I'll send my troops to attack them.

212

Where is Eldest Sister-in-law?

213

Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law might be unaccustomed to partings like this.

214

I understand.

215

Third...

216

I'm going now.

217

I'm going now.

218

Start the car.

219

Wait!

220

Be careful!

221

Stop the car! Stop the car!

222

Is your hand fine?

223

- I'm fine.

- Qian'er...

224

I prepared you some local delicacies of our Fuyuan

225

- and I knitted a sweater for you last night. You would be able to use it when it's cold.

- Qian'er...

226

Also, remember to wear socks.

227

If you feel unwell, you must tell the servants to give you a massage. Understand?

228

Remember to write me a letter.

229

Qian'er...

230

Don't cry. Look at you, you're most beautiful when you don't cry.

231

Upon crying, you don't look good anymore.

232

You are the eldest sister-in-law. You should be a model for your siblings.

233

Also, while I'm not around, take good care of this home.

234

Especially, take good care of father in my behalf.

235

Look at that, you're now having nasal discharges.

236

Lan Po, just do what you want to do. I support you.

237

- Hey! Third! Put me down!

- Third Little Brother!

238

- Third!

- Third Little Brother, what are you doing?!

239

- Third.

- You...

240

You're making trouble. Are you alright?

241

Lan Po, what are you doing?

242

Eldest Sister-in-law, take Eldest Brother back to your room first. I'll go to Yizhou.

243

Third Younger Brother, stop messing around.

244

It's not the time to be a righteous brother.

245

Eldest Brother, doesn't Li Chongnian just want a hostage? It's the same with me going.

246

Third Little Brother, put the general situation first. Listen to me. You're not suitable to go to Yizhou.

247

I also am not going there to be a hostage. My thoughts are similar as yours.

248

I'm going there to be a steel nail and investigate this unbreakable city called Yizhou.

249

That is not your duty.

250

This trip to Yizhouo is my life dream, while your life dream...

251

Your life dream is just by your side, in Europe. I surely will not allow you to go to Yizhou.

252

Eldest Brother,

253

I'm already holding my life dream in my hand.

254

Just let me go.

255

You're like my half-father.

256

Half of my knowledge were taught by you. Just allow my request.

257

But I can't just watch as my biological brother go to his death!

258

And I can do that?!

259

Let's re-discuss this matter first.

260

Second, no one will be leaving today. Third and I must have a good talk.

261

Third brother, now there is no one else.

262

Tell me your plans.

263

Big brother. I've already said it.

264

If Yizhou is a wood plank, I'm a nail.

265

If Yizhou is a bowl of porriage, I am a sand.

266

I think Li Chongnian will rebel sooner or later.

267

I just wanted to keep an eye on him in Yizhou.

268

You've already said I taught you your skills.

269

I am half of your teacher.

270

A student can never lie to the teacher.

271

Looks like...

272

...you saw me through.

273

Actually there is one more reason.

274

Big brother, I want to investigate why my mother died.

275

Why your mother died?

276

She jumped into a lake and killed herself.

277

Seven days later she was buried in the Yi family grave.

278

Can there be any other truths?

279

Big brother, it's not that simple.

280

I discovered parts of her remains...

281

...under her favorite flowers in the back garden.

282

What?

283

Third brother, how can you tell that's your mother's remains?

284

Big brother. The body was wearing her clothes,

285

and wearing her earrings. How can it be anyone else?

286

Who will replace my mother with a fake body? What's that person's purpose?

287

But my mother was in charge of your mother's funeral personally.

288

Are you suspecting my mother?

289

Big brother.

290

Your mother was good to me. I don't want to suspect her.

291

Remember when I was little,

292

because I didn't have a mother, the servants often forgot about me.

293

Your mother told me I should follow you all day,

294

and told you to take good care of me.

295

It's just because I had you, a restless naughty boy,

296

following me constantly,

297

I was able to forget the pain of losing my legs.

298

Yes.

299

With your care, I could be fed every day.

300

The servants stopped looking down on me.

301

Big brother, I will never forget how you and your mother were good to me.

302

But this concerns my mother's death.

303

I will find out the truth.

304

Otherwise I will live the rest of my life in regret.

305

Third brother, what -

306

Big brother. I want to beg you to help me find out the truth.

307

Third brother, get up.

308

Get up! Listen to me, get up!

309

Fine. I owe you this.

310

Tell me. How do you want me to help?

311

Big brother, I think there's someone else who knows the truth.

312

Who?

313

Zhang Xikun.

314

Third sister,

315

I want to tell you something.

316

What do you want to say?

317

I know it clearly.

318

When Lan Po was not at home,

319

you're the one who treated me most kindly.

320

Now you're in a difficult position,

321

and I can't share your worry.

322

Big sister in law.

323

I don't know how to face you.

324

I know all that.

325

How about you just close your eyes for now,

326

and listen to some of my sincere words?

327

Third sister. In this family,

328

I am the only traditional woman who has bound feet.

329

Traditional woman.

330

You and Yanyun are both more well-read and worldly than I am.

331

In front of you, I was always kind of jealous.

332

I envy you have gone to school.

333

I envy that you're both modern women.

334

I envy that you've seen the world outside these high walls.

335

You both lived such wonderful lives.

336

But in my world,

337

there's only your big brother.

338

If one day he's gone,

339

my world would be ruined.

340

I've always wanted to be a good person.

341

I hope I could take care of everything.

342

I hope every one of you feels comfortable.

343

But when it comes to this matter,

344

what I need more is a complete home.

345

I know you don't want to face me.

346

Actually, I don't want you to see me so selfish.

347

I'm sorry.

348

You want to replace big brother to go to Yizhou?

349

I don't agree.

350

Second brother, of all three of us,

351

you of all should stay beside father. Father can't be without you.

352

We can't lose you either.

353

Father, in my opinion,

354

you give me order and I'll kill Fu Rongcai,

355

then we will attack Yizhou.

356

I'll see if Li Chongnian still dares.

357

What a joke! You are the young marshall of Fu army.

358

What the hell are you saying?

359

Jiangzuo has just been stable for a while.

360

We talked on Zhi Mountain for so long, had so many arguments.

361

So we could have the peace we have right now.

362

I can't believe you still want to start a war.

363

Father, second brother was just saying these angry words out of concern.

364

Impulsive.

365

If you close the door and nobody heard you, that's called angry words.

366

If anyone hears you and spreads the word,

367

you will be judged by people.

368

Li Chongnian went too far.

369

To think about the big picture,

370

some things need to be sacrificed.

371

Big picture, big picture. You always talk about this big picture.

372

Even if you win the world, what can you do?

373

You'll just have a good reputation in history books.

374

As for if you were right or wrong, future generations will tell.

375

But right now, whether it's Eldest Brother or Third,

376

both are my biological brothers, your real sons!

377

Are their lives still inferior to reputation?!

378

Stop acting as if you're the most righteous person in this world!

379

Don't I know that you all are my sons?!

380

Am I cold-blooded?!

381

If you're in my position, how will you choose?

382

It's so exhausting to be a member of the Yi family.

383

How come we can never have a second choice?

384

Think about it. Someone sowed dissension in our relationships before.

385

Our Yi family fell apart, brothers becoming hostile to each other.

386

But now, it wasn't easy for us 3 brothers to finally reconcile.

387

Father, if the family is harmonious, all affairs will prosper.

388

With us 3 by your side, helping you and accompanying you,

389

what obstacle is there that we can't get past?

390

Second Brother, although there would always be a second choice,

391

we should always choose the lesser of two evils.

392

Letting me be the hostage is using the smallest loss in exchange for the greatest benefit.

393

Father has his predicaments. Eldest Brother has planned for the Yi family for so many years.

394

Second Brother, you have repeatedly went to the battlefield risking your life.

395

What about me? I have never done anything for our family.

396

Just let me do it this time.

397

Third, let me think about this matter first.

398

Father, don't think about it anymore. I'm firm with my decision.

399

The person sacrificing this time must be me.

400

Third. Third!

401

Father, in getting the world,

402

must we lose our loved ones?

403

This is just the start. In the future,

404

once you inherit the empire I've established for you,

405

just to defend it,

406

maybe you might lose more.

407

Father, if this empire

408

was gotten by sacrificing the life of my real brother in exchange,

409

I don't want it.

410

Take it with you.

411

Aren't we just going to Yizhou? Why must I bring that?

412

You'll need it when you reach Europe.

413

Yi Liankai...

414

You liar.

415

Xiao Sang, I really can't bear to part with you.

416

But I must go to Yizhou.

417

Because there is a puzzle there waiting for me to solve.

418

While I'm not around,

419

live well. Look for a person that loves you.

420

How am I able to love another person?!

421

Eldest Sister-in-law has Eldest Brother accompanying her.

422

Second Sister-in-law is now pregnant.

423

But how come the one getting kicked out of this house is me?

424

I can't even make you stay by my side.

425

Lan Po....

426

As a brother, you fulfilled Eldest Brother's wish.

427

As a son, you gave Yi family what it needs.

428

But as a husband,

429

why are you breaking your promise to me?

430

Xiao Sang, do you know how long I've struggled internally

431

before I was able to say these parting words?

432

You think I'm willing to yield the person I love to others?

433

But today, we have reached this step.

434

There are so many helpless choices.

435

If you want to blame me, then do.

436

No...

437

- No...

- Let go.

438

I'm not letting go. No.

439

- Let go!

- I'm not letting go!

440

Father.

441

Sit down.

442

Yes.

443

When did you start playing with the tea craft?

444

Father, I'm not playing around. I just started learning it.

445

Last time, father-in-law told me that putting olive seed into the fire will make the tea taste better.

446

Within the art of tea ceremony, you can learn the principles of a good marriage.

447

In marriage, it's not about the water and fire mutually tormenting each other.

448

It's about the tea and water working in coordination.

449

Qin Sang, I actually...

450

...have treated you 3 daughter-in-laws as my real daughters.

451

I won't feel good in letting any of you 3 go.

452

Father, I won't go to Europe.

453

I'm also fine with being allowed to stay here in the Yi family or not.

454

Wherever Lan Po goes, I'll go.

455

No!

456

Do you know why Third is going to Yizhou?

457

A wolf entering the lair of a tiger. A trip with no return.

458

You're still giving up your life like that?

459

The legs are mine. You won't be able to brush me off.

460

I...have set my mind on you.

461

Third...you should learn more the art of having a harmonious marriage.

462

Thank you for father's teachings.

463

Are you afraid?
