♫ Used to the depth of the darkness ♫

♫ No matter how wild, there is no fear ♫

♫ Waiting for a star to fall to see who its afterglow will illuminate (I tell myself to keep pushing on by feeling, it’s history in the making) ♫

♫ Of the same kind as the banished ♫

♫ Hiding the loneliness in defense (Climbing mountains and cliffs) ♫

♫ But gentleness is always invincible (I’m earth-shatteringly alone, with no purpose and no worry, just so I can push on harder) ♫

♫ Refusing to compromise with fate because my heart has a home ♫

♫ It's yours; I don't belong to anyone else ♫

♫ (But let me know who I am and give me a destination) ♫

♫ Who am I if I didn’t meet you? ♫

♫ (You took away what I care about and all my attention) ♫

♫ Who am I without you? ♫

♫ (But let me know who I am and give me a destination) ♫

[The Wolf]

[Episode 41]

It's so strong.

Stronger is better.

We can get drunk faster.

You know how much I like you.

In this perfect hour,

it's just the two of us in this room.

If I hadn't gotten myself drunk out there

and had another strong drink here,

how would I be able to control myself?

Why would you want to control yourself?

Because I want to wait until you really fall in love with me,

and when you want to become my wife without any other reasons.

That is when I will truly have you.

Today's our wedding day.

I'm perfectly content

to see you blushing.

Don't be afraid.

There will be ample time for us.

Tonight, let's get a good sleep first.

A decree from His Majesty.

You won't be executed,

but you'll still be punished.

You'll be a slave forever.

You'll be escorted to Qiannu Battalion tomorrow between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m.

Second Prince will escort you there personally.

He finally figured it out?

He knew he wouldn't vent his hatred by killing me.

So he made me go crazy.

I know you hate Wolfbone Flower.

But this is the only way to save your life.

So what if I'm alive?

I might as well die.

At the execution ground,

the whole world would get to see my terrifying look.

Staying alive is just being on my last legs.

If you've given up on yourself and want to die,

there's no rush.

Your life in the Qiannu Battalion will be a very dangerous one.

Second Prince won't have to do it himself.

Those slaves in the battalion hate you very much.

They can kill you anytime, anywhere.

Does it matter?

I deserve to die.

You feel that you're very sinful.

You feel guilty about what you did to First Prince and Ma Zhaixing.

So you want to repent by taking your own life?

Do you think you can dismiss your mistakes by killing yourself?

It's not that easy.

You don't get to get off lightly.

If you really want to repent, stay alive

and see yourself about how happy Ma Zhaixing is without you, lying in some other man's arms!

Provocation doesn't work on me.

But you're right.

I can't be let off lightly.

Here.

Take this medicine with you.

It can temporarily relieve your pain.

All this time,

I can't tell if you're an enemy or a friend.

We seem to be using each other.

It also seems that we're born to be rivals.

Now that I've ended up this way,

I can see clearly now.

Yao Ji, why did you help me

and put yourself in danger?

You're underestimating me.

I'm very capable.

If I weren't confident,

I wouldn't have risked my life to save you.

But saving me wouldn't do you any good.

Of course it would.

But you need not know it.

I want to know.

Do you have to sacrifice yourself for giving me this medicine?

I'm going to beat you to death!

Your Majesty.

Please spare me, Your Majesty!

All this happened because of you.

How dare you ask for mercy!

You...

You... Who allowed you to get whipped for her?

She and I are Night Fiends members that share the same fate.

I will recapture the runaway rebels.

Fine.

You have three days to recapture them.

If not, both of you will go down into hell together!

You were underestimating me.

And now you're overestimating my kindness.

Don't worry.

No one will find out that I'm treating you in secret.

And you need not worry about me.

You shouldn't put yourself in danger for a monster.

It's not worth it.

I need your help with two things.

I know what to do with Wen Yan and the rest.

I'll figure out a way to get them out.

What's the other thing?

I want to see Fourth Brother tonight.

His Majesty has ordered the Imperial guard

to surround the Xun Royal Manor.

It's protection in name, but it's in fact imprisonment.

Without His Majesty's decree token,

no one can see Fourth Prince in private.

Lord Grand Diviner.

Put the slave into the prison cart.

Yes.

Greetings, Prince of Yun.

Your Highness, recently,

there has been a plague nearby the Qiannu Battalion.

Therefore, His Majesty ordered me to come with you to escort the prisoner to the battalion

and check the plague situation.

Last night, Father sent Eunuch Zhang to my manor to deliver the decree.

Since this will put Emperor Father at ease,

thank you for your help.

Don't mention it, Your Highness.

It is my duty after all.

You and Fourth Brother are close to each other.

Although he's in a stupor,

I think he really wants to see you off.

So I asked for Father's permission.

After all, it's very likely that this is the last time

you see each other.

Shouldn't you thank me for my mercy?

Thank you, Your Highness.

Remember, don't expose it.

If not, you will let Father down.

Fourth Brother, don't be afraid.

Although I can no longer stay by your side and protect you,

but in my eyes,

you're no longer a kid.

You're becoming more and more like Eldest Brother.

Be strong and you'll move forward courageously.

You'll be fearless.

Perhaps we won't get to see each other again.

But you must remember what I said.

I'll live for myself.

You have to promise me, too.

No matter how difficult life is,

you have to live well.

Where there is life, there is hope.

That's so touching.

Yet, to live doesn't necessarily come with hope.

It may be endless despair.

You're right, Your Highness.

Due to my misdeeds, I will be a slave forever.

I hope you'll learn from my mistakes,

and have mercy on your only brother.

Fourth Brother and I are brothers.

Naturally, we won't kill each other.

Unlike you.

You're not only a slave but also an intolerable monster.

Guards, send Fourth Prince back to the manor.

Yes, Your Highness.

How stubborn he is.

Your Highness, you need not take the monster seriously.

Why don't you let me escort the sinful slave to Qiannu Battalion?

You may head back to Imperial City and keep His Majesty company.

No, I'll go there myself.

Get ready. Let's go!

Lord Bo isn't dead and became a slave.

The situation has changed drastically.

I guess you all have found out last night.

We found out the details last night.

Surprisingly, there's infighting in the enemy country

behind the War of Boxiang.

It's a dog eat dog world. Serves them right!

Since all this happened because Chu Youyu was killed by his father's conspiracy,

Lord Bo committed treason by trying to conspire with Chu Youzhen

and redress his grievance.

Then, how did Lord Bo get away from the execution?

Chu Kui is sinister and cunning.

, Of course, he did so not out of mercy.

You're right, Marquis Wang.

Now it seems that not only has Lord Bo lost a war in Boxiang,

he's also started a rebellion.

Since it's a capital offense, why did he choose to go back?

Of course, it was to ask for mercy.

Didn't he manage to get away?

Juyao, why don't you say something?

You're talking about something that's happened.

There's no need to talk about it anymore.

What we need to focus on is that Lord Bo isn't dead yet,

and he's been exiled to Qiannu Battalion.

Our army won the War of Boxiang out of luck.

Now that the enemy has retreated to Mingzhou,

which is easy to defend but hard to attack, it's strongly defended.

The enemy can use this chance to recuperate and prepare for the war.

But our army is in a deadlock.

Yes.

Mingzhou City is the forefront of the enemy's imperial city.

If we can take over Mingzhou City, we'll defeat the enemy real soon.

But our army knows nothing about its topography.

Our troops are now in high spirits.

If we want to keep winning,

we need someone who knows the military situation of the enemy.

That's why I think we should sneak into Qiannu Battalion and rescue Lord Bo.

When I found out last night that Lord Bo wasn't dead,

I thought about it the entire night.

The rift between him and Chu Kui is a God-given opportunity for us.

He's the only one in this world who knows everything about the enemy's military situation.

If we manage to save him and persuade him to help us break through Mingzhou City,

it will definitely help us a lot with winning the war.

No way! That's too risky!

Despite the rift between Lord Bo and Chu Kui,

everyone knows the evil things Lord Bo did.

Asking for his help is like asking a tiger for its hide.

Yes.

Even if he agrees to it,

I will not be his compatriot.

What if he has repented?

He kidnapped Princess while in Boxiang.

I guess it's because people found out about his rebellion.

In order to head back and ask for mercy, he tried to exchange the princess' life for his.

Fortunately, Juyao managed to save Princess at once.

If not, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Would someone who repents do such a thing?

Zhaixing, when we were in the enemy's country,

we both saw how loyal Lord Bo was.

In dealing with the case of First Prince,

he was forced to suffer humiliation for the sake of his eldest brother and Fourth Brother.

He rebelled because he tried to redress his eldest brother's grievance.

Perhaps Lord Bo is loyal to his brothers.

And he rebelled simply because he hated the fact that Chu Kui deceived and used him.

So even if he is not Lord Bo, he has no reason to help us.

That's right.

Among us all, Lord Bo deceived and hurt Princess the most.

Nephew, it's not easy for one to change.

It's just your wishful thinking.

I agree with Juyao's suggestion.

Save Lord Bo.

King of Jin!

Please listen to me first, Princess.

Princess, do you have any great wishes?

May the world be peaceful,

and to save the people being controlled by Chu Kui.

I, too, wish for world peace.

But I've been on the battlefield for years.

What I want more is to fight a bloodless war.

It sounds ridiculous.

But with Lord Bo here, it's possible.

As you know, Lord Bo knows the enemy's military situation well.

If he can help us to destroy it from within,

it can minimize casualties. Am I not right?

If the alliance can save thousands of soldiers,

why don't we try it?

Father.

Even if we ignore whether Prince of Bo is good or evil right now,

or if he's willing to form an alliance with us.

Considering the crimes he did,

how would the world perceive us with him joining our troops?

It's the other way around.

If our troops can pardon Lord Bo and make him turn over a new leaf,

it will shock the whole world.

And we will show the world the power of benevolence.

It will be a blow to Chu Kui.

What do you think, Princess?

I've learned something new today.

What you said is truly admirable.

To shock the world with benevolence.

Today, if we manage to ask for Lord Bo's help

to fight a bloodless war, that's my great wish as well.

Thank you for your understanding, Princess.

Everyone, even Princess is willing to let go of the past

and accept Lord Bo.

Will you support my initiative?

How wise you are, Princess.

How wise you are, Father.

I have no objection to it.

How wise you are, Father.

I shall make this action a success.

I have a request.

I would like to go with Prince of Chuan.

I was once deceived by Prince of Bo.

So I know him better than anyone.

Will we bring ruin upon ourselves, or get an ally?

I need to judge for myself.

I can't let Lord Bo sabotage my army again.

Don't worry, Emperor Father.

Zhaixing and I will work together to overcome everything.

It will be a triumphant return.

Also, we'll take Lord Bo back to Taiyuan City.

Fine.

Be careful with everything.

- Remember that. - We can't delay it anymore.

Tomorrow morning, Zhaixing and I will sneak into the enemy's Qiannu Battalion.

I'm taking off.

Father, I've always heard about bloody and brutal rumors about Qiannu Battalion.

And now it's heavily guarded for sure.

How can both of them save Lord Bo?

That's my concern, too.

Therefore, after their departure tomorrow,

you will get the troops ready and stand by.

I'll obey your command.

In rescuing Lord Bo,

the only odds lie in himself.

I don't get it.

Before this, you and I despised Lord Bo.

Why did you go against the rest in the court today

and defend him uncharacteristically?

Because I have a personal motive.

What do you mean?

Although we're married, your heart

won't let go of the war until the day the tyranny ends.

And we won't get to live like a normal couple.

Now that we're in a deadlock,

I'm willing to try anything so that we and the people

can live a stable and peaceful life,

even if that means an alliance with Lord Bo.

You and King of Jin are magnanimous indeed.

You care for the world and are forgiving.

I'm not as good as you.

I'm just afraid that you'll be hurt by gossip

for saving Lord Bo.

I won't.

This time, I need you to talk Lord Bo into taking refuge in Jin.

If we can get Lord Bo's help,

we'll win the war soon.

I just hope when peace descends to the world,

you and I won't be too old,

and I will still have the energy to travel the world with you and Zhuiri,

to the ends of the world.

I hope we can persuade Lord Bo to change for the better.

[Qiannu Battalion]

Hurry up!

Hurry up! Do you hear me?

Don't slack off! Hurry up!

We don't give you food for nothing!

I'm talking about you! Hurry up!

Hurry up and work!

- Li Qiang! - Are you all right?

- What? - Li Qiang!

- Li Qiang, what happened? - Get back to work.

Li Qiang, are you all right?

- Are you hurt? - Stay put! Go back to work!

They're all animals! They don't treat us like humans at all!

Instead of working, you're slacking off here!

Kneel, now!

Kneel!

Guard Corp Zhao, you think you're still a general?

In Qiannu Battalion, you are all merely detestable slaves!

Mine properly.

Don't think of dying all the time.

I'm very busy.

I decide who lives or dies.

A report!

Here's a letter from the Ministry of Justice. Two sinful slaves will be escorted here today.

One of them is here and Prince of Yun will escort the other one here by himself.

Prince of Yun will do so himself?

Take care of the body at once.

I'll go and receive him.

Yes!

Li Qiang!

- Get to work! - Li Qiang.

- Get up! - Can you make it?

I'm fine.

Thank you, Guard Corp Zhao.

Li Qiang, can you make it?

Guard Corp Zhao, thank you for your concern.

I can make it.

I'm wondering who that is.

Lord Yun even escorted him here by himself.

- Greetings Lord Yun. - Rise.

Warden Gu, I heard that you never leave your post.

Today, I'm here to escort a special offender.

And I need to punish him myself.

Send the offender in!

Send him in!

It's Lord Bo.

- Yes, it's Lord Bo! - It's Lord Bo.

And there's Lord Yun.

I want to kill both of them so bad!

Send him in.

Yes!

Kill him!

Brothers, calm down first.

The Chu family has sent us one of their sons here.

It's a god-given opportunity.

All of us will take revenge on him.

We can't let him walk out of Qiannu Battalion alive.

Yes, kill him! Kill him!

- He needs to die! - Yes!

Kill him!

Second Prince, every sinful slave that's new to the battalion has to have their face marked.

- Lord Bo needs to... - What Lord Bo?

After the defeat of War of Boxiang,

he's just a lowly, nameless sinful slave.

Since I'm a sinful slave,

you don't need to help me.

I'll do it myself.

You've ended up this way,

but you still want to act like a hero.

Fine, I won't let you have your way.

Since you were part of the imperial family,

you don't have to have your face marked.

Why?

Why does he have that right,

but the rest have no such privilege!

We will kill him eventually!

Just wait and see!

You see.

Among all here, you're the only one who has such a privilege.

- Warden Gu! - Here!

I'll leave this monster to you!

Yes, Your Highness.

Take him down!

I want to kill him now!

Yes, kill him!

- Your Highness. - It's karma!

Why did you let this monster off?

I have my reasons.

I need to protect him so that he won't die here.

Grand Diviner, don't you have to attend to some business?

I have some other things to tell Warden Gu.

You may get back to work.

Yes. I will go and check the plague situation.

I am taking off.

My Lord, Lord Yun seems to be guarding against us.

Could he have found out that we're helping Lord Bo?

See to it accordingly.

All in all, we can't let Lord Yun hurt Lord Bo.

Have a safe journey, Lord Yun.

What's all this fuss?

Keep up!

- Liu'er. - Brother.

Put that down.

Brother, who's that?

It's my first time seeing Warden Gu this submissive.

He came from Imperial City.

Then, why did they come all the way here to Qiannu Battalion?

I bet you don't know.

- Let me tell you... They're keeping– - Warden!

Hello, Warden!

Warden! How may I help you?

Just tell me.

I will definitely do anything for you.

Liu'er,

you and I love money.

I have a job for you.

Go to hell!

Let's go. Where are you looking at?

I'm talking about you.

Zhang Yuan, Gu Teng is watching.

Don't be so obvious.

Since he's in our hands, I will not let him walk out of here alive.

Haven't you eaten? Hurry up!

Don't slack off!

Guard Corp Zhao, Liu'er has sent firewood here.

That kid lost his mother when he was born,

and he went into exile here with me.

With a father like me, he has had a lot of hardship.

He's fended for himself since he was small.

And he even needs to hide our relationship.

He's just right in front of me, but I can't reunite with him.

My son, you've suffered.

I'll surely figure out a way to get you out of here.

Lord Bo, just rest yourself.

You need not lower yourself and work along with these war slaves.

I don't care what you're up to,

just stay away from me,

and don't call me Lord Bo.

I'll see how long you can keep being haughty.

Guards!

The slave we marked this morning, bring him here.

The iron rule of Qiannu Battalion.

The newcomer gets to do the most dangerous labor.

Get in there with the explosives and blast the cave.

Warden, I can't do it.

The wound on my face is still not healed. My eyes can't see clearly at all.

Please have mercy on me.

It's the iron rule of the Qiannu Battalion.

Why would we break the rule for you? You're not Lord Bo.

Warden, this brother is not recovered yet.

And he's not the only newcomer here. Don't we have that one?

Yes.

Lord Bo told me just now

he's different from you war slaves.

He gets to enjoy privileges given by Lord Yun.

He doesn't need to have his face marked.

He doesn't even need to risk his life.

Shut up, or I'll blow you up at once!

Get him into the cave!

No!

I beg you! Please let me go!

No!

Stop!

Open your eyes wide and have a good look!

Just because you're Lord Bo,

that new slave who came in with you has to endure the pain on his face

and head in there carrying explosives.

The most damned person in Qiannu Battalion is you!

Why aren't you the person that’s doing the deadly task?

Speak!

- I'll take his place. - Yes, Lord Bo.
