Original subtitles

Brother Yun, when I'm on the battlefield

you will help me manage national affairs in the background

a different but equally worrisome job.

It will be hard work

Imperial brother don't worry

I will not disappoint you

Good

Come, remember

No matter what

you can't return this to me again.

Take it. Wait for my reutrn.

I want you

to give it to me

when you triumphantly return.

Ok, I will definitely return

Emperor

It's getting late

We should depart

Empress Dowager is not up yet

If we wait for her,

it may delay the troops' departure.

The Chu-Han joint army threatens us

but our great Shu Kingdom has strong soldiers and horses

and a common wish.

We will defeat the enemy troops and return triumphant!

Defeat the enemy troops! Return triumphant!

Defeat the enemy troops! Return triumphant!

Why are you still in bed?

Get up! Go bid your brother farewell!

Your brother is going to war for you

No matter what you should go send him off!

You hiding here

Ridiculous!

If big brother wants to be emperor,

he should lead the battle!

That's what you said!

It has nothing to do with me

Such cruel words!

How could you say them?

Even if he weren't doing it for you,

the emperor is going off to war

and as a member of the imperial family,

you should send him off!

Otherwise the emperor can punish you for a crime!

Big brother loves me, he won't blame me!

Mother wants you to go

so you must go!

I don't want to!

You're using

the farewell as an excuse,

to trick me and force me into battle!

I won't fall for it!

Your father was splendid on the battlefield

Our Du family also has outstanding military merit

Mother didn't think

I would give birth

to such an incompetent coward!

Off to war!

Qi You!

Where's the emperor?

He just left

Niang Niang does not look so well

Not sleep well?

The imperial throne has already been determined

You should be relieved

Why do you still not sleep well?

Unless...

you're worried that

the emperor will not return, or...

Qi You!

Qi You!

Qi You!

Ya Ya

He's already off to war

What are you writing?

I'm copying Buddhist scriptures

to pray for the emperor.

I will help!

You can write?

I can grind ink

What else can you do?

I can turn pages

OH, you can grind ink and turn pages

That's all you can do?

What help is that

Go

What, I really want to help from the heart

From the heart?

Yes!

Then how about this

You shave your head

become a nun

and pray for the emperor before Buddha everyday.

That's from the heart!

Why?

Why should I become a nun?

Why should I become a nun?

I want to get married!

I'm going to marry First Prince!!

You become a nun!

Why would I be a nun?

You be a nun!

Stop arguing!

If you want to argue, go over there

So noisy!

It's all you! Disrupting others

Go

Kill!

Brother! I'll go help General Hai

No!

Let me go!

Sound the retreat!

Retreat!

After today,

I finally know Shu Kingdom's real ability.

They cannot be underestimated

Meng Qi You personally leading the way

has given his troops

a huge boost in morale.

This Meng Qi You is proficient in military strategy

We must be careful

Brother, you can't say that

That's like

downplaying your own power

and praising his ambition.

If you ask me,

he was just lucky today.

But next time,

I will

slaughter him.

A female

in the army is inconvenient.

What if something happens?

How will I explain it to Imperial Mother?

What's wrong with being female?

History's Hua Mulan and Hong Fu Nu

both led wars as heroines.

How am I any worse?

I don't care

I want to go with you

fighting along the way.

Win against Shu

Win against that brat!

Han emperor!

Han Emperor

I dare ask Han Emperor

Why are we fighting this war?

Shu Kingdom doesn't have any internal turmoil

But our Chu army suffered heavy casualties

I didn't ask the Chu army to assist me in this battle

If you don't want to fight,

you can immediately return.

General He,

defeating Shu

is equal to removing

a thorn in both our kingdoms' backs.

We're in an urgent military situation now

We should cooperate

and figure out how to defeat the enemy.

Retire

Let me think

Yes, emperor

Everyone worked hard today

Emperor

No need for such courtesy

We can waive the formalities

Tomorrow we still have a tough battle to fight

So tonight,

everyone rest well.

Being well rested,

we can then win the war, right?

Right! Thanks emperor

Good, rest well

Quick

Emperor

Don't move

Emperor

Generals and soldiers,

you have served the kingdom well

dripping blood and sweat

What I see pains my heart

Today you have all been wounded

I order you to rest and recuperate

for an early recovery,

so you can return to the battlefield and continue your outstanding service!

When we win this war,

I will reward you well.

Thank the emperor for his kindness!

Thanks emperor for your kindness

Our army is familiar with the terrain

and gained significant advantage.

But tomorrow's battle

is not to recover lost territory,

but rather to pursue and attack on the heels of our victory.

Capture the opponent's commander in chief

Win this once and for all

to end this war as quickly as possible.

The Chu-Han joint army has many soldiers

Capturing the commander in chief is not so easy

I have a plan

Tomorrow, General Han and I

will lead the troops in fighting enemy soldiers

We'll lure the enemy troops here

Here

we'll hide two troops to ambush them.

When enemy troops arrive, attack from both sides

Once he arrives, we will attack from all sides

and capture him.

What a great "catch the turtle inside the jar" plan!

The emperor is truly

frontier building ruler.

Sit

Tomorrow's battle will be tough

I just want to win this battle early

and return home.

At home, people we care about

are waiting for us.

My good brother

You came just in time

To see you here

I'm so happy

I have something that will make the emperor even happier

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

All troops retreat!

It's not clear who's winning yet

Why are we retreating?

I have my reasons

All troops retreat!

All troops retreat!

All troops retreat!

Emperor!

Emperor!

Han troops have already passed through the gorge opening. They were not ambushed.

What?

They're going to ambush us. Retreat!

I'll stay behind, you retreat first!

Listen to my command. Quickly retreat!

Emperor! Emperor! A spy leaked secrets! Quickly leave!

Take him away

Uncle!

Protect the emperor!

Is uncle ok?

I'm fine

Everyone retreat from the mouth of the valley!

Retreat from mouth of the valley!

Quick! Go!

Retreat!

Release the rocks!

Uncle! Go!

Emperor!

Go!

Meng Qi You!

You are now

this princess's captive.

Quickly surrender!

Meng Qi You! You just wait!

Onwards!

Emperor!

Hei Zi, leave quickly

I won't leave!

Emperor!

Go tell the palace

what happened here.

Emperor!

Go!

Ye Ye, Shu Emperor's death

was extremely similar to my father's.

I suspect that like my Imperial Father,

he was poisoned with the epilepsy drug.

But didn't Han Zhao Yi give it to you?

How would she have this unique poison?

I also think it's very strange

Han Zhao Yi came from a family of scholars

Could she be using a poisons expert?

Very possible

This poisons expert

could be from the

same line of work as us.

But our work

researches medicines to save peoples' lives.

Ya Ya, actually our line of work is separated into two schools

We are from one school,

researching ways of saving people.

The other school masters the art of poison

They use medicines to kill people

So Han Zhao Yi is a disciple of the poison school!

It can't be

Disciples of the poison school are advanced and mysterious

When they kill people,

they are invisible.

Inperceptible

to anyone outside their line of work.

If she is a disciple of the poison school,

she would have countless ways

of poisoning the Shu Emperor.

She didn't need to wait all this time

for you to poison him.

So there is indeed a poisons expert

helping Han Zhao Yi.

Could it be the same person?

Who is it?

Ye Ye, do you remember the time I went missing with Qi You?

Of course! I was so worried

I thought my princess had...

We were sneak attacked by this strange man

That strange man...

Yun Zhu, what's wrong?

Why are you crying? Who bullied you?

First Prince is already emperor

Who would dare bully you?

No

What happened?

No

What exactly happened? Quickly tell us

Huang...

Huang what?

So many people in the palace are named Huang

Who is it?

The Emperor was captured by the Han army!

At the time, General Du was captured by the enemy

and yelled that a spy leaked our secrets.

A spy is hiding in our army?

Otherwise, with the Emperor's godly military abilities,

he wouldn't be defeated! Empress Dowager

We must

seize this spy.

Otherwise Shu Kingdom is severely threatened

We are in the midst of a war

Causing huge commotion over arresting this spy

would only make people more nervous.

It would be even more unfavorable to the situation

The most pressing matter

is to recall

all the remaining troops

and guard the imperial city.

No!

The Shu Kingdom was built

through the hard work of the late emperor and myself.

I can't

sit and watch the enemy seize the lands of our kingdom.

More importantly, I can't

let the enemy capture our Emperor.

I've decided to put my battle armor back on

and save the emperor myself!

No!

Empress Dowager please reconsider

Among the hundreds of court subjects, who is willing to come forward

and come with me to lead the troops in war?

Uh...

Empress dowager, Subject has a solution

Speak

The only plan now

is to announce a new emperor.

The emperor isn't dead yet!

But the emperor is now the Han army's hostage

The Han army can threaten us with the emperor

but we

have no way of striking back.

Only by establishing a new emperor

will we have a chance of survival.

The emperor has fallen into danger

You don't think of ways to rescue him,

but rather want to establish a new emperor!

What do you take the emperor for?

Under the current circumstances, we can only consider the bigger picture

Only by stabilizing the court,

will we be able to rescue the emperor.

But what if Northern Han finds out

that we have a new emperor, and simply kills the emperor?

Emperor understands the principles of right and wrong

He would rather sacrifice his life for the kingdom

than see Shu Kingdom perish because of him.

You have made it very clear than you're going to abandon him without any concern

Empress dowager, don't abandon the emperor!

Empress dowager, no eggs remain intact when the nest is overturned

If Shu Kingdom perishes,

the emperor will undoubtedly die.

But if we establish a new ruler,

then he

might still have a chance of survival.

What do you think?

The question now is

who should be the new ruler?

Third Prince again?

How many times has he said, he doesn't want to be emperor

If we make him succeed to the throne, will he agree?

Now we can only let Second Prince succeed to the throne

I won't be emperor!

He can be the emperor

I already said I don't want to!

I've already given it up

You can't force me again!

This life-threatening thing

Why don't you go yourself?

Don't worry, I won't force you onto the battlefield

You be emperor

and I'll bring troops to rescue big brother.

Emperor, Meng Qi You is here

A Nu

You've done a great service in capturing the Shu Emperor

I am making you head general

as reward.

Thanks emperor for your kindness

Do your job well

I will not mistreat you

You can leave

A Nu is leaving

Liu Lian Cheng

Shu Kingdom won't surrender to you

just because you've captured me.

If I were you,

I would kill me in an instant

to eliminate future consequences!

Good, fearless in the face of danger

Meng Qi You, you are indeed extraordinary

He's only a defeated general

If you ask me,

he's just a dead duck with a hard mouth

What

You won't kneel before my imperial brother?

Don't be rude. You should leave

Imperial brother, I'm helping you give him a lesson

Look at him

He suffers a crushing defeat on the battlefield

yet he's still stubborn and intractable here.

You still won't admit defeat?

Fine,

this princess will teach you to kneel and beg for mercy!

Kneel down!

Kneel down!

Kneel down!

Kneel down!!!

Stop! Are you done here?

Brother, let me kill him!

Kill? He can't die!

Why?

Whether we can breach the Shu imperial city

will still depend on you.

10,000 years to the emperor

Sit straight. Say all subjects please rise.

All...all subjects please rise

Thanks emperor

Reporting to the emperor and empress dowager

Marshal Du and Commander Han have returned to court

You...

Why did you return to the imperial city?

Go back to kill the enemy!

If they charge in here,

I will have you killed!

Reporting to the emperor, the imperial city is hard to penetrate and easy to defend

But stations in the country outskirts have little protection

It is very likely our army would be annihilated in one night!

The imperial city is strongly fortified

and has adequate provisions.

Your majesty need not worry

We cannot be content

We must think of ways to rescue the emperor!

I am the emperor

Big brother is also the emperor

Who's the real emperor?

It's your highness, naturally

The subjects only listen to your commands

Only me?

Then

guard the imperial city well

Don't let them charge in and kill me, that's all I want

Emperor

Out of your brotherly love,

you must think of ways to save your older brother!

Emperor

Your brother was captured because he went to battle for you

You must rescue him

He wanted to be emperor himself,

and willingly went to battle. What does it have to do with me?

Emperor!

That's the truth!

He wanted to lead the war himself!

Besides

He stole my Sister Yu

and I didn't say anything about it!

Don't pretend I owe him anything!

As the ruler of the kingdom,

you dare say such things!

...We are rescuing him...

Second brother already said he would go,

besides killing people is uncle's thing.

Nothing to do with me

Emperor

So you're not making any effort to send troops and save him?

You and uncle are in charge of fighting wars

You decide yourselves

End of court!

Emperor!

!

Immediately open your gates!

Otherwise we will kill your emperor!

Attack!

Qi You!

Heaven is kind to me

allowing me to see you one last time.

You can't die!

You must come back alive to finish our deal,

personally hand me the jade pendant!

I'm afraid I won't be able to

I won't let you die!

Prepare to fight the enemy!

Commander Han, quickly open the gates

Once the gates are open, Han troops will charge in

and the imperial city is dead!

We have 100,000 imperial soldiers. There must be a way to fight back. We must save him first!

I'll notify the emperor first

Emperor arrives!

Emperor!

Look!

Quick! They're about to break in!

Release the arrows!

Good brother

Big brother loved you for nothing

Quickly tell them to stop!

They will hurt your brother!

I don't care! I don't want to die!

Release the arrows! More arrows!

This...

More arrows! Don't stop! More arrows!

Qi You!

Qi You!You can't go down there!

Qi You! Don't!

Let me go down there!Ya Ya!

Your life is important

Qi You!

Fu Ya
