[Legend of Fuyao]

[Episode 38]

So what if you're
Crown Prince of Tianquan?

What's so great
about Crown Prince of Tianquan?

Following you here,
I don't care who you are.

Then what is this about?

I want a reason!

My wine's gone. I'll go get some.

Tell me!

What exactly are you afraid of?

What are you afraid of?

Every day I spend with you is borrowed!

They're borrowed, do you understand?

They're borrowed.

Did you think I wouldn't know
if you kept it from me?

The poison in me can't be cured.

The Love Lock poison...

The Love Lock poison can't be cured!

Do you think I want to act like this?

I'm in love with you...
but I have to push you away.

Do you think I want to do this?

Would I want to do that?

I don't want you to be upset!

I don't want you to stay
by a dying person's side.

You--

Don't...

Don't talk about things
that haven't happened yet.

I won't let you die.

You don't get a say in it.

Trust me.

You have to trust me.

Trust me...

I won't let you die.

Never.

Your birthday is on January 15.

Well...

I kept telling myself...

To not prepare a very
touching birthday present.

I know... you have everything.

And I don't have the money
to buy you an expensive gift.

I thought...

that you must be lonely,
deep down in your heart.

So I prepared some liveliness.

I hope you like it.

Hey.

I like it.

Streamers?

Hey.

You really have to thank
that nasty doctor for this.

He helped me a lot.

He told me that the streamers are
the sacred birds of Nanrong.

When the Evening Star shines,
they will soar across the sky.

When the Morning Star rises,
they return to their nest.

They can fly 1,000 miles across lands
or choose to stay trapped here for life.

Did Zong Yue tell you...

that streamers can't survive
for more than a month?

Really?

But... they never fear death.

When their lives come close to the end

they give off
a fragrance and a purple glow.

They fall to their death
and return to the earth.

People should be like them.

When we're alive,
we should shine with brilliance.

When we die... we should die with honor.

I once met a woman
who resembled the shadow in my heart.

I wanted to see her clearly
so I approached her.

Once I approached her,
I forgot my motive.

I've always had whatever I've wanted.

I never knew how it felt
to strive for or cherish anything.

It's because of this woman
that I felt it for the first time.

This feeling is so strong...
that I forgot about that shadow.

I can only feel her existence.

Fu Yao...

I hope that you'll always stay by my side
just like this clear and bright moon.

Through time...

Through life and death.

Until the world comes to an end.

As long as I can be with the one I love

why should I fear death?

Flowers are always in bloom,
and so people shall bloom.

Soulmates of a lifetime,
never shall we betray each other.

Urgent report from Tianquan!

The emperor is critically ill.

Your Majesty.

The medicine was reheated.

I've been ill for days...

The officials can't keep their thoughts
to themselves anymore, can they?

Currently, it seems
that in the Imperial Court

most of the officials
are still behaving well.

Which ones are and which ones aren't?

Master Duan accepted Prince Yi's--

Stop right there.

Get straight to the point.

Yes.

This is the confidential report
we received last night.

Is this about Prince Yi, Ping Rong?

Your Majesty is wise.

Just tell me what it says.

It's nothing extremely urgent.

It says that Prince Yi
has been taking action recently.

First, he had met up secretly

with Prince of Wan Province's
messenger for days.

Then he sent his men to Nanrong.

It's said that he's sending
some treasures to the princes there.

It seems that Prince Yi is going
to get his hands on Crown Prince soon.

How is the crown prince?

The confidential letter
from the Imperial City was delivered.

I believe His Highness
must have received it by now.

It's just...

Go on.

It's just that
Prince Yi has deployed troops

all along the way
back to the Imperial City.

I'm afraid the crown prince
will be in more danger upon his return.

Since you've decided to head home,
have you planned the journey?

The Shadow Guards informed me

that Prince Yi has his troops
hidden all along the route back

from the east and the west.

He knew I'd head back
to Tianquan right away.

He plans to ambush me on the way.

Those two official routes aren't
the only paths back to Tianquan.

There's one more.

It's the most dangerous, but the fastest.

Geya Desert.

Geya Desert is also
known as the Desert of Death.

It's the most dangerous and
mysterious place in the five kingdoms.

Some say that it's
the entrance to the netherworld.

All these years, no one has
made it out of Geya Desert alive.

Why would you still go through there?

I'm willing to give it a try.

When two sons compete,
one is bound to get hurt.

Han Lin.

Present.

In your opinion, between my two sons

who do you think
makes a better heir apparent?

The anointing of the heir apparent
impacts the nation and sovereignty.

I wouldn't dare to comment recklessly.

Han Lin, you've served me
for so many years.

You're considered one of my confidants.

If you won't tell me,
who would dare be honest with me?

Get up!

- Yes.
- Just speak your mind.

The crown prince is sharp-witted
and extremely intelligent.

He keeps his thoughts to himself.

At a glance, it may seem
like he wouldn't be as ruthless

of a monarch as Prince Yi.

He's held himself in too high
of an esteem to play up to anyone.

As for Prince Yi,
he's been in battles for years.

He has the courage,
a strategic mindset, and ambition.

However, at times, he's too reckless.

What are the officials' opinions?

Crown Prince was anointed
by Your Majesty at a young age.

He has also been trained in Qiongcang.

Most of the officials just
go along with what Your Majesty prefers.

They go along with what I prefer?

It's just as I thought.

This means that all across Tianquan,
the five kingdoms and the Imperial Court

everyone thinks the best choice
for Crown Prince is Wu Ji.

Even you're aware of it.

So all the officials as well as
Wu Ji himself must know of it!

That's why he does whatever he pleases

Because of such support
and public respect.

Crown Prince is still young.

It's normal to fall for one
or two young ladies.

He must be infatuated at the moment.

He actually ruined the marital bond
between Tianquan and Xuanji

just because he fell
for a peasant's child!

As the heir apparent

he should know the importance
of marital ties between countries.

How could he not know?

That child's been pampered and spoiled.

He's had too smooth of a life till now.

It won't do him much good
if he doesn't encounter obstacles.

It's about time.

That he endure some hardship.

It's also time he learns a lesson.

Go on.

Summon Prince Yi.

Have you considered that path might be
exactly what he wants you to choose?

He must have made plans
for all three routes.

It's just that Geya Desert
is too dangerous.

He'd only plant an ambush
in the mountain on route to the desert.

Once I get past those soldiers,
the route ahead won't be obstructed.

What if he raises a huge army
and goes all out to get you?

Even so, there's no need
to be overly concerned.

I've sent my Shadow Guards
back to deploy the army.

1,000 of Shangyang Palace's cavalry
will meet me at Geya Desert.

The climate there is extreme.

It's my best chance in defeating
Prince Yi with fewer men.

Compared to Prince Yi

I'm more worried
about the odd things in the desert.

I can't help feeling uneasy.

Seriously, when did you
become such a nag?

I'll go with you.

Father!

It's only been a few days.

Why are you already in such a state?

If you leave us, how am I
to go on without you?

Father!

Your powers are phenomenal!

Your wisdom is insurmountable!

I've failed to serve
by your side all these years.

It's truly unfilial of me...

Ping Rong.

Father.

I...

I was just too worried about you.

Look at you.

Who would dare to leave
the throne of Tianquan to you?

Across the five kingdoms, there are
boundless lands and millions of people.

Are you able to bear such a burden?

Father, I looked so distressed just now

because...

Because I'm worried about you.

I'm worried about your health.

I'm concerned about the
emperor of the five kingdoms.

Plus, I'm your flesh and blood.

I can't help myself, Father.

This illness came at a good time.

I had wanted to use it to test
what the officials had in mind.

Who knew that it'd give you
a great chance to take action?

Father...

I... I don't understand...
what you mean by that.

You don't dare to own up to what you did.

You've let me down
after all I've taught you.

This throne!

It has always been drenched in blood!

Father, you're so wise!

I...

I understand.

Wu Ji...

Who knew that even
Father isn't on your side now?

This time, you're doomed.

Tell me. Which playwright wrote this?

It's said that when
a woman finds her loved one

she must sew a pouch as a token of love.

Why can't she just chop
a bundle of wood or craft a blade?

You're not to laugh at me!

I'm doing my best.

Look!

It's a lotus. Does it look like one?

You're the one
who looks like a rice ball.

How is this like a riceball?

It's not very pretty.

I won't make it then.

I can't present this anyway.

Fu Yao! Fu Yao!

Take a look at Tie Cheng!

What are you doing?

Crown Prince Wu Ji is taking him away!

Take a look, quickly!

Wu Ji? Slow down!

This is--

Mentor, I'll give it my all
to accomplish the task

you entrusted to me!

I swear upon my life
to look after Mentor's wife!

Tie Cheng, have you gone mad?

Who's your mentor?

Who's your mentor's wife?

My mentor is the one
who taught me archery.

That makes Fu Yao my mentor's wife!

This young man...
is promising and can be taught.

I don't want to be his mentor's wife!

Oh?

Is that so?

Are you not willing?

"Oh?"

Listen up.

I don't care if you want a disciple.

But you better not get me involved.

Nothing happened between us!

Is that so?

If nothing ever happened
between us, why would they say...

that you're my woman?

why did they say behind our backs
that we're a match made in heaven

and the best couple in Yao City?

Nonsense!

I've never had a disciple.

I never intended to have one either.

This is an exception.

It's for your sake.

For... for my sake?

I... No, thank you!

If I'm his mentor's wife,
I have to take care of his meals.

I have to worry about his life too.

I'm poor. I can't afford it,
so don't drag me into this.

It's all right, madam! I'll see
to your meals while Mentor is away!

I'll make sure you're safe and sound!

- I'll surely look after you!
- You--

Shut up!

Hold on.

What does he mean
by "while you're away"?

Are you leaving?

I have to set out right away.

So suddenly?

You can't bear to see me leave?

My dear disciple!

Take Seven with you.

- Let's go.
- Yes, Mentor.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

All right now.

I'll return very soon.

Although you have Seven,
who's witty and kind, by your side

he's still too young
and of a smaller build.

I can tell that Tie Cheng
truly looks up to you.

He's also trained
in the basics of martial arts.

That's why I taught him
a couple of stances

in hopes that he can stay
by your side to keep you safe.

I'm so fierce that bad luck
always turns for the better.

Who would dare to pick on me?

Don't act tough.

Keep yourself safe.

If...

If something happens to you,
what would you have me do?

The Imperial City sent a message

to summon me back
as my father is critically ill.

But I'm afraid that what I'll be
up against won't be that simple.

There's still some
residual poison in your body.

You have to protect Yao City too.

Lass...

Please don't make me...

Don't worry.

I still have so much good wine
and meat waiting for me.

How could I bear to die so soon?

Just go handle what you should.

I'll be here to safeguard
Yao City for you.

I'll await your return.

Wu Ji is leaving
because his father is ill.

Why are you rushing off too?

Someone threatened me with his life
that if I don't find the antidote

he won't let me off if you die.

Just how much do you owe him?

You're risking your life for him.

Honestly, the two of you
owe me a lot more.

I'll get going.

Go on.

Aren't you going to make me stay?

I can't make you stay.

You broke off the martial bond
with Xuanji because of me.

The situation in the
Imperial City is so complicated now.

You should've stayed there
but you rushed over here too.

I don't wish to be
your burden in this relationship.

All right, I'll leave Ingot to you.

In crucial times,
he might be of some help.

Moreover, Yao City is the
meeting point of the three kingdoms

and the passage to the
six tribes, so it's very important.

I'll entrust the city to you.

Safeguard it for me.

Don't you worry.

I'll surely defend Yao City.

If the city stands, I stand.

If the city falls, I--

I want both you and the city to be safe.

A distinguished guest has arrived!

It's Master Xu!

This is the distinguished guest.

This is Prince Yi.

Future emperor of the five kingdoms!

Greetings, Prince Yi!

Did you have a good time?

- Xiao Hong, attend to him well.
- Your Highness!

You're finally here!

Master, here's a toast to you.

I've prepared great wine
and meat for you in the room.

How long has it been
since you've visited me?

I've missed you so much.

That's enough.

Greetings, Your Highness.

I have accomplished my mission.

Prince Yi intercepted the military tally
for reinforcements from Shangyang Palace.

His troops must have set out by now.

Both the official route and waterway

from Nanrong to Tianquan
are heavily guarded.

He has now sent out
his most elite soldiers to Geya Desert.

It's uncertain who he means
to assassinate there.

Your Highness.

Who do you think he's trying to kill?

Hong Ying, you're so smart.

It couldn't be more obvious.

Do you really need to ask me?

All these years, Prince Yi has spent
a huge sum on building up his forces.

Crown Prince has always
stayed very alert.

Now that the two princes
are vying for the throne

it's a good opportunity
to benefit from their grapple.

I don't understand why
Your Highness still won't make a move.

It's sibling rivalry.

Why would I meddle in it?

If you're really so openminded about this

why would you care about Crown Prince
Wu Ji's safety in Geya Desert?

Prince Yi is ambitious
but he lacks talent.

Crown Prince is wise and sensible.

The people favor him.

If Tianquan is left
in the hands of a reckless man

and the people suffer...

As an arch prince,
how could I overlook this situation?

Could there be anything more
desirable than power and authority?

27 years ago, I, Zhangsun Jia
was the favorite prince

who had the most authority.

The throne of Tianquan
was meant to be mine.

But I didn't care
for what I could easily have.

Life is short and miserable.

At birth, we bring nothing.
At death, we take nothing.

If I can't have my soulmate...

what's the point of giving me the world?

I found her.

I found the one.

She means more than the world to me.

Once a man falls in love,
he will be held back by his fears.

I lost the throne.

That took the fight out of me.

I even lost the love of my life.

I'm scared...

I'm scared that in the end...

I'll even lose the chance
to just stay by her side.

The hardest obstacle to overcome
is the affection of the heart.

How is it not the same for me?

Zhangsun Jiong arranged
for you to be here as his pawn

to win my trust and spy on me.

It must be so hard on you.

Your Highness!

Your Highness...

You already had my heart
and soul a long time ago!

It's exactly because of this

that I don't wish for you
to leap into a burning pit.

Once I get involved in the power struggle

I won't be able to look out for you.

Tonight, I'll have you sent away.

From now on, lead a peaceful life.

Slowly.

This is what I promised you before.

100,000 gold taels.

30,000 pieces of armor.

I'd never go back on my word.

I'm offering you double what I promised.

I sincerely wish to be
friends with you, Chief.

It's the Black Militia's honor
to offer its services to Prince Yi.

Your Highness, what are your plans?

Do instruct me as you wish.

I want you to attack Yao City first.

Even if Your Highness
didn't command me to do that

I can't tolerate Yao City either!

After you take Yao City down,
go east to meet up with my troops.

We'll go straight to seize
the Imperial City.

After we succeed, won't all
of Nanrong belong to the Black Militia?

It's a piece of cake
for the Black Militia

to take over a mere Yao City.

Your Highness, please await
news of victory from Yao City!

Counting the days,
Wu Ji has been away for four days now.

I know you miss him dearly.

I miss him too.

Who knows how that jerk is doing?

What?

The county magistrate
of Yao City is called Fu Yao?

That bitch is actually still alive?

Zhangsun Wu Ji, how dare you fool me!

The battle is right before us.

That wench will just have
a few more hours to live.

It's not just her.

Zhangsun Wu Ji won't
have too long to live either.

Convey my orders.

Whoever brings back the head
of Yao City's county magistrate

will be rewarded with 10,000 gold taels!

Yes!

We should have picked up
our weapons a long time ago

to annihilate those bandits.

Instead of waiting till now,
when they've grown so much in number.

Yao City is a crucial fortress
here at the frontier.

It's the meeting point
of the three kingdoms.

If Yao City is taken

the entire west region
of the five kingdoms is seized.

The bandits have long coveted
such a crucial location.

They colluded with the
former county magistrate

and saw Yao City as theirs.

Now that the righteous Madam Fu
is here, how can they tolerate it?

I'm afraid this calamity...

I saw them deploying the soldiers at
Mount Haoyang in the middle of the night.

I knew something was amiss.

I just didn't think they'd
strike so soon after defeat.

Who knew...

What should we do now?

We'll have to fight.

They will attack us,
even if we don't fight.

It's just that there are only
3,000 soldiers here in Yao City.

There are at least 20,000
to 30,000 men in the Black Militia.

Combined with the reinforcements...

there should be 50,000 men.

What? 3,000 men against 50,000 men?

How... how are we to fight this battle?

The thing is, our rations
will only last us five days.

It's not enough to get us
through the entire battle.

Since we're outnumbered,
we'll avoid getting into close combat.

Since we're short of rations,
we'll do all we can to gather more.

If the rations can
only last us five days...

We'll do our best
to end this battle in five days.

Geya Desert is just up ahead.

Judging by the time

your cavalry from Shangyang
Palace should've arrived by now.

The cavalry of Shangyang Palace
never fails to accomplish its mission.

If they still haven't shown up,
there's only one possibility.

I'm afraid the situation
in Tianquan Kingdom has changed.

The enemies have caught up with us.

We have nowhere to run.

We can only fight till we drop.

There may be a disparity in numbers.

The quality of armor may differ.

But we must not lose the fight in us.

The land we stand on
is still our Yao City.

Swords are crafted to crave blood.

I, Fu Yao, will stand
side by side with Yao City!

Stand side by side with Yao City!

Stand side by side with Yao City!

The Black Militia is approaching us.

But we're down to just
three days of rations!

We'll have to roll with the punches.

We must safeguard Yao City together.

It seems that Zhangsun
Ping Rong is really going all in.

We'll take him on till the end.

Lives can be taken in a flash.

It isn't the skills that matter,
but the draining of stamina.

At this rate, neither of us
can make it out alive.

Tell me.

What should we do?

We have to split up.

You take the official route.

Convey my message to the
Shadow Guards in the Imperial City.

I'll keep going down this path.

That's the only way
you can make it out of here.

Have they all fled?

The Empty Fort Strategy?

Should we go in or not?

Archers!

Fire!

Do you see that?

It shouldn't be a problem.

Send your men in there
to look around first.

Walk slowly.

Why should we send our men in first?

By the command of Prince Yi!

Go on!

Go!

Attack!

Charge!

- Attack!
- Charge!

Retreat! Retreat!

Retreat!
