[The Wolf]

[Episode 36] [Boxiang]

Our scouts have reported that Prince of Bo has deployed his troops.

It is exactly as our king predicted.

My old man has foreseen

that judging from how freakish Chu Kui can be,

as long as we strike first and win a battle,

we can enrage him into attacking us.

Now, Prince of Bo must be executing his orders.

He's using his best soldiers to conquer Boxiang.

But our own elite troops,

General Wang Rong and the Ma Army, are also deployed around Boxiang.

Boxiang will be easy to hold, but hard to attack.

- That's why this battle... - Will be an endurance battle.

We just need to defend the city.

With our king supplying us with food and information,

we have a secure backing

and Chu Kui would never expect that Prince of Bo's troops

can't even conquer a mere city.

Then, fueled by his embarrassment and frustration,

he'd deploy all his troops here.

By then, my old man will lead a huge army

and surround Chu Kui from behind.

The king is truly impressive.

He knows everything about Chu Kui's actions, mindset, and temperament.

Chu Kui will go down for sure.

Your Highness!

Your Highness, Prince of Bo's troops are here!

What? This fast?

His army is right in front of the city gates.

What will be... will come.

[Boxiang]

Send a messenger in.

I'd like to chat with Young Feudal Mistress Ma herself.

Yes, Prince of Bo.

- Tell the archers to be prepared. - Yes, Your Highness!

General!

Your Highness.

Your Highness, I have important news.

It has to do with this battle.

What's going on, Prince Wang?

They're my allies. Just tell us.

May the heavens bless Jin.

The unbeatable Prince of Bo actually has a fatal weakness.

Your Highness!

We received a letter from Prince of Bo's troops.

Prince of Bo sent a letter through his messenger

that he wants the princess to meet him outside the city tomorrow morning.

He said it concerns all under Heaven.

He also promised that the princess will return safely.

However, if the princess is too timid to meet him in person,

when the hour passes, he will lead his troops to attack the city.

Let him attack then!

Why must we let Zhaixing take the risk?

I'll go.

Prince Wang, please inform Prince of Bo's messenger.

No, Zhaixing.

If you go, you'd be entering the lion's den.

You need to enter the lion's den to catch the lion.

Now, he is inviting me to meet him as a commanding general.

I'm sure he wants to persuade me to surrender

and stir my resolve rather than pull any dirty tricks.

No.

What if Prince of Bo goes against his word?

I will not agree to this.

How can I let you take the risk alone?

Then, will you agree,

will you be willing to lower yourself and be my personal guard instead?

Follow me to meet Prince of Bo?

Fine, then.

It's settled.

I'd love to see what Prince of Bo is really up to.

Zhuiri, I know you must be laughing at me. Right?

In the end, I still have to listen to everything Ma Zhaixing says.

I'm no longer the person I once was.

I had a whimsical and carefree life.

I was free to do anything.

But when you love someone,

I guess that's the price you pay.

That's why I stopped wandering around like a vagabond

just to stay by her side.

No matter what she does in the future, I won't stop her.

I will grant her every wish.

Although a battle is impending,

but the breeze is still calm and heartwarming.

Is that so?

Why do I think that

this wind is blowing madly instead?

Look.

Your hair is messed up.

Let's get back to the important stuff.

Why do you think Prince of Bo wants to meet you alone?

I think he's trying to frighten me

so I can understand how daunting a real war can be,

and how many people will die on the battlefield.

He will use this to break my resolve.

But he doesn't know that

once the Wolfbone Flower is activated,

we can reduce the number of casualties to the minimum.

So, no matter what,

we must delay Prince of Bo's attack to the day after tomorrow,

when the Wolfbone Flower is complete.

Actually,

the real battle has already begun.

Exactly.

Ji Chong, get me some butterflies.

Butterflies?

Take it as

my first gift for him.

Your Highness, good news!

Your Highness, Military Marquis Liu Shouguang's 30,000-heavy cavalry has arrived.

Also, Prince of Bo will meet Ma Zhaixing before the battle

to shake and break her resolve.

Good!

With the heavily armored cavalry

and Prince of Bo's knowledge of Ma Zhaixing's weaknesses,

I shall not worry about losing the battle.

Mistress, here's your favorite golden flower tea.

Put it down.

Zi Shen, I have a question.

Out of all our patients in a locked-in state,

is there anyone whose eyes seem to notice

what's going on around them?

Mistress, don't even say they can see anything.

We've gathered so many patients like that,

and we did everything we could,

but none of them showed any reactions.

Besides, if they can see what's going on around them,

that means they're not vegetables.

He's not a vegetable?

Mistress, has Fourth Prince showed any reactions?

Other than the king, who else visits the prince the most?

That would be the prince's cousin, Major Yang Hou.

Keep a low profile and observe Yang Hou.

See if he's doing anything out of the ordinary.

Yes, Mistress.

I have many friends, so I know how to gather information.

Prince of Bo is about to battle.

I hope nothing goes wrong.

Looks like your gait has grown much steadier.

Your fighting skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

Once you train longer,

perhaps you may be my match, barely.

Is that so?

But I seem to see

no improvements in you.

All you know is still wagging your tongue to brag.

I can't help but feel uninterested.

You seem to be overly confident

for a common fighter like you.

These are scabbards of the Ma Army.

I'm sure you can recognize them.

Zhaixing, be steady.

Don't forget what we agreed upon.

We're here just to meet Prince of Bo

and see what farcical tricks he has under his sleeve.

I only want to advise you with good intention.

If you want to send some spies over,

please don't choose the weaker ones.

This morning,

- I'd personally captured several soldiers from the Ma Army. - You–

Prince of Bo! Prepare to die!

We agreed not to fight in this meeting.

I do not wish to become the laughing stock of the entire world.

And if we do fight,

you will be the one dead.

General Ma.

Prince of Bo.

I will find a way to save them.

Those soldiers were captured

all because of you.

You have always been cruel and callous.

You even killed Zhaixing's family.

When did you become so sentimental?

Your speech is akin to how a crocodile sheds fake tears.

Zhaixing, don't waste your breath on him.

You said you're here for all under Heaven?

I think you're just trying to shake her resolve.

Zhaixing, let's go.

Ma Zhaixing!

Are you going to be this selfish

and ignore the lives of your soldiers?

Then, when we battle tomorrow,

I will order my troops

to spare the Jin Army, Wang Rong, and the like.

But killing the Ma Army

will be our top priority.

Tell me then!

Why are you trying so hard to torture me?

Simple.

Surrender.

Then, I will promise

to stay away from you

for the rest of my life.

How preposterous.

Are you trying to win without a battle?

My conditions will be valid until noon.

After that, I will spare no one.

Even if my troops were to die altogether,

we will never let go of any soldier from the Ma Army.

That includes him, Ma Yehan,

and your favorite, Ma Jing.

You do know

I do what I say.

Are you telling the truth?

Ma Zhaixing, don't believe him.

Two days.

I will give you a reply in two days.

Two more days?

I heard that the King of Jin is a decisive man.

Does he need that long to decide whether to battle?

Don't tell me

your king isn't in the city.

Prince of Bo, stop your nonsensical talk.

The princess is concerned

that this is the season for butterflies to metamorphose.

The battle will disturb the forest and the butterflies.

That's why she ordered if a ceasefire can be possible, try to have one.

The butterflies, you say?

I almost forgot that back at Langshou Mountain,

you loved gazing at butterflies.

To think a princess can be so sentimental.

I like butterflies.

It has nothing to do with you or Langshou Mountain.

Fine.

For the sake of the butterflies,

I'll give you two more days

to decide whether you will battle or surrender.

After all, the butterflies were once my favorite, too.

To me, a day doesn't pass

without reminiscing about what happened in Langshou Mountain.

When I close my eyes,

I can vividly see

each and every tree in the mountain.

Unfortunately, when I open my eyes,

I can hold on to nothing.

Isn't that correct, Ma Zhaixing?

Two days later, I shall arrive at the city gates

and wait for your reply.

Not bad, General Ma.

Brilliant acting.

Our rehearsal last night really paid off.

General, do you think Prince of Bo will really believe what I just said?

Also, Your Highness, are we really waiting for the butterflies?

I must thank both of you for catching the butterflies

and releasing them before the meeting.

Additionally, it's as if these butterflies do belong here,

and Ye Han doesn't look like a liar.

I think we will not invite Prince of Bo's suspicions.

If he really bought it, we can pacify him for two days.

By then, our Wolfbone Flower will have been prepared.

It was you who came up with this plan.

Speaking of which,

I did learn this from the cruelest person in the world.

He once taught me...

Remember, when a battle breaks out, it's either death or victory.

You need to be cunning and deceive your enemy.

This time, I, Ma Zhaixing, will not give in to my feelings.

Prince of Bo sent a message saying that Ma Zhaixing

is nothing but an empty shell.

A few snide remarks from him was all it took to shake her resolve.

Yao Ji, you once said

that Ma Zhaixing is Prince of Bo's nemesis.

Looks like she's not that much of a hindrance anyway.

Your Highness, you are blessed with a good life

and you have Prince of Bo's loyal support.

Of course, you do not need to worry about her.

Prince of Bo even suggested that I fight on the front lines myself

so I can motivate the troops

and conquer the city easily.

Yang Hou, what do you think?

Your Highness, I think you absolutely can fight on the front lines.

Very well!

Zhang Jin, pass my order.

Tomorrow morning, I shall fight on the front lines of Boxiang.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, do you think Fourth Prince can follow as well?

I observed that ever since you started feeding him medicine yourself,

his illness is showing improvement.

In my opinion, we should bring him along.

Then bring Youzhen with us.

When we conquer Boxiang, I shall kill that darned woman,

Ma Zhaixing, right in front of him.

Yes, your wish is my command.

Guard the entrance.

Do not let anyone enter.

If the king comes, greet him loudly so I may hear.

- Understood? - Yes, Major.

Your Highness, it is I.

Thank you, Cousin.

Is everything ready?

Did any mishaps happen?

Don't worry, Your Highness. I have been absolutely meticulous.

The king is not suspecting anything.

Tomorrow, we will advance to the front lines of Boxiang.

Right now, I have sent my men to conceal themselves among the Yang Troop.

When you sound the call, they will act.

However, it must have been tough on you.

To think you had to act like a vegetable the whole day.

No matter how tough it is,

as long as I can avenge my big brother,

everything is worth it.

You are doing a just deed.

You will succeed.

Usually, that old guy is always on his guard,

suspicious of everything.

We have no room to strike at all.

Now that a battle is impending,

he will solely concentrate on the King of Jin.

Since he is battling external forces now,

he will lower his guard against us.

Whether we succeed or not depends on this one plan.

This is our last chance.

Yes, Your Highness.

When the battle begins, I will not let you down!

You have traveled the entire night, Father Emperor. Are you doing well?

Rise.

Thank you, Father Emperor.

For this battle, I have brought you a 30,000 heavily armored cavalry.

I shall conquer Boxiang.

Well? In your opinion,

will Ma Zhaixing surrender tomorrow?

Father Emperor, judging from Ma Zhaxing's personality,

since she is supported by the enemy, she will not surrender easily.

But I believe Ma Zhaixing's resolve must have been shaken.

Do you think she will sacrifice the whole Ma Army merely for her personal interests?

The battlefield is violent.

How can a mere woman like her handle it?

Now, the more merciful she is,

the worse the Ma Army will suffer from her actions.

Prince of Bo, confusing Ma Zhaixing

was a brilliant tactic.

Thank you, Father Emperor.

I will pay any price to avenge Fourth Brother.

Good.

I have decided that tomorrow morning, you will lead our Three Armies

and summon our undercover soldiers

so we can muster all the strength we need to quash Boxiang.

Yes, your wish is my command.

To think Chu Kui is here now.

I'm afraid tomorrow will be the day Prince of Bo strikes.

Our scouts reported that

Chu Kui has brought a 30,000 heavily armored cavalry.

Their army will be stronger than ever.

Eldest Brother, thank you for extracting the Wolfbone Flower.

When Prince of Bo attacks tomorrow, once he loses his ability to battle,

I shall lead my troops to exterminate his army

down to the last soldier.

Juyao, about tomorrow's battle,

I have already discussed it with the princess.

Since Chu Kui is among Prince of Bo's troops now, he is within our reach.

Our objective is to capture the enemy's leader.

It's not just Prince of Bo, but also Chu Kui himself.

We need an elite army

to strike when we battle with Prince of Bo's troops.

They must strike as fast as the wind and pulverize Chu Kui's camp.

If they succeed, we can capture Chu Kui alive.

And this mission...

is yours to handle.

Tomorrow will be the day we battle Prince of Bo.

Without me here, what about you?

I must stay here to entice the enemy;

or else, Prince of Bo will grow suspicious.

No.

Before the war ends, I will not leave you.

Ji Chong!

No one is more important than you.

Zhaixing, if anything happens to you,

even if I win the whole world, so what?

There's no better candidate.

Among us, Military Marquis Wang's forte is the cavalry,

and mine is defense, not offense.

Juyao, judging from the current situation,

only you can handle this task.

You...

So you've already decided to force me into battle.

Don't worry, Juyao.

We will protect the princess on your behalf.

Prince of Bo won't even hurt one single hair of hers.

Juyao, this battle is our greatest chance

of winning the entire war.

Fine.

I'll win this battle, then.

We'll travel around the world.

Do you remember your promise?

Fine.

I believe everyone will take good care of the princess.

Tomorrow, we will pulverize the enemy's troops.

I don't care what challenges await us.

I will slaughter them all!

Slaughter them!

Slaughter them!

Why have you come at this hour?

Tomorrow, you must not let your resolve shake.

Yao Ji, don't worry about me.

I just want you to treat my brother.

His life is more important than mine.

Perhaps, when you return triumphantly,

your dear brother will be awake.

Good.

That gives me another reason

to kill Ma Zhaixing.

Tomorrow, we will advance to the front lines of Boxiang.

When you sound the call, our men will act.

No matter how tough it is,

as long as I can avenge my eldest brother,

everything is worth it.

Prince of Bo, the more you are willing to sacrifice for Fourth Prince,

the more you can't let him know the truth.

Your Majesty,

I deserve to die.

Yao Ji, what do you mean?

Master.

Have you readied our men inside the city?

As you have ordered,

everything is ready.

Please be mentally prepared for tomorrow's battle.

[The Battle of Boxiang]

Ma Zhaixing!

Two days have now passed.

I am here at the city gates to obtain your reply.

Will you surrender?

- Give me the arrow. - Yes, Your Highness.

Fight, fight, fight!

I understand.

So this is your reply.

Your Highness, brilliant shot!

Today, we must kill him.

Master, it's time to sound the call for our men inside the city.

What time is it now?

Daybreak is almost over.

After daybreak comes morning.

Fourth Brother should be taking his medicine now.

Your Highness!

Youzhen.

Father Emperor, hand over the jade seal.

Then, I will spare you!

What are you doing?

My eldest brother must have blessed me from the heavens

to let me awaken at the ancestral temple

and let me know the truth about everything!

Your Highness, time is precious.

Focus on important matters.

Get the jade seal so you can take command!

The jade seal?

I sent someone to send it back to Suyang.

You liar!

My child, I don't need to lie.

Since I already know...

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Men!

- Attack him! - Stop!

You...

Don't be surprised.

Looks like you knew it all along.

Yang Hou,

how dare you?

Stop!

Yang,

if you don't want to end up like the traitors outside,

tell me the truth.

Who else are your accomplices?

Who else? Speak!

Don't tell him!

Tell me, and I will spare your life!

- Speak now! - Don't tell him!

Prince of Bo.

Prince of Bo?

Don't tell me Prince of Bo has been setting me up.

He tricked me to leave my temporary palace

and fight at the front lines.

That's right.

His soldiers are here.

Prince of Bo's soldiers are all here.

You all wanted to kill me right here.

Get up!

Tell me.

Has Prince of Bo led his army back to the capital to conquer it?

My third brother is not that despicable!

You may have trained both Eldest Brother and Third Brother,

but you have never understood them!

Your heart is always filled with suspicion and conflicts!

Impudent whelp!

If Third Brother wanted to rebel, you would've been killed by now!

Prince of Bo, you have my troops now.

What are you trying to do?

Master!

If you take one step further, the enemy's archers may shoot you!

Only he is advancing.

What are they planning exactly?
