[Legend of Fuyao]

[Episode 39]

Charge!

- Attack! - Charge!

Retreat! Retreat!

Quickly!

[Yao City]

Magpies can no longer be seen.

The wind rises, the clouds shroud the sky.

It's been so long...

since the symbol of calamity, the black ravens, appeared.

Yet now... the sky is almost covered in shadow.

Lives are deemed worthless

and the people can no longer have peace.

Will there be a war?

I don't know.

Empress, it's best to rest indoors.

No...

Could it be...

No! No!

I want to see His Majesty!

Let go of me! I want to see His Majesty!

Your Majesty!

You gave me your word!

Your Majesty! You promised!

Let me in!

Your Majesty...

I'm down on my knees!

Your Majesty...

I'm begging you!

If you just spare Wu Ji, even if that pill kills me

I'd still take it!

Your Majesty!

I'm begging you!

Just let Wu Ji off!

Your Majesty!

I'm begging you!

You gave me your word!

Your Majesty!

As Madam instructed, I went to Baiting seeking reinforcement.

But the 20000 soldiers in Baiting have been relocated.

Forget the soldiers, not even a dagger was left behind.

But the number of men in our militia is nowhere near the Black Militia's.

Are we still going to take them on?

Please give me some.

Don't be so anxious.

Slow down. There's some for everyone.

Thank you.

Here, get in the line.

Thank you.

Slow down, everyone will get some.

Get in the line.

Don't panic. There's some for everyone.

- Thank you. - Get in the line.

Thank you.

Here.

Don't push.

Don't push!

Don't push.

Thank you.

Get in the line.

Everyone will get some.

Here, this is for you.

This is really bad.

We only have enough rations for one last day.

Tomorrow, we might...

Next!

This is all that's left in the village.

We picked these one by one in the fields.

Distribute it to the people.

That won't do! You haven't eaten for days!

I'm full from drinking water.

I'm not hungry. Go on!

Don't push.

Get in the line.

Since we've really run out of rations, we'll have to come up with other plans.

We're out in the desert.

Not even the fish survive here.

What other food is there?

If there's nothing in the water, we'll hunt what's in the sky.

Don't leave out any tree bark, or any edible wild herbs.

The ones in the back, get in the line.

I'm really worried about leaving you alone in Yao City.

This pouch is for you.

If Yao City is in trouble, this will keep you alive.

But you mustn't open it until the critical moment.

[Flee]

"Flee?"

This is just a portion of it.

Once the deed is done, you'll surely get what you should.

We've had the city under siege for days.

Your Highness, do you want us to keep waiting

or just charge in?

You're the Chief of the Black Militia.

What's your plan?

I think Yao City is a good place.

But there's no need to keep the mob there.

You want to make it a massacre?

That's up to you to decide.

I only care about the results.

How about this?

Your Highness, give us a few more days.

We'll pick an auspicious day and slaughter them all in delight!

Isn't it quite inappropriate to have my precious body

storming the battlefield and taking on enemies?

I might as well prepare the gold and silver

to await your victorious return.

Your Highness, do rest assured.

Please await news of victory from the Black Militia!

That would be for the best.

Do whatever you please.

Show no mercy.

I just want the head of Yao City's county magistrate.

All right!

I'm off to take someone else's head now

since all good things come in pairs.

Lass.

You've returned?

You finally made it back!

It's been too hard on you.

Why didn't you take my advice?

It's so dangerous in Yao City now.

Why didn't you run?

The people of Yao City are in great misery now.

I can't leave them behind.

I have to be here with them.

Thank you.

Thank you for protecting the people of Yao City for me.

Wu Ji!

Fu Yao!

Bad news!

This morning, the Black Militia shot many messages into the city.

Food and water will run out in three days but those who surrender may live.

They are stooping to trickery since they can't defeat us.

Why would the people care? They've been starving for days!

If they even cut off our water supply, there's... no chance to survive!

Madam! The gate has been opened!

- Get Tie Cheng to help out. - Yes!

Archers! Ready!

Yes!

My dear, stop crying.

Don't leave!

Don't leave!

Don't leave!

Head back into the city!

Don't leave!

Don't leave!

Run!

Head back inside!

Mother! Mother!

You almost scared us to death.

When Tie Cheng carried you in, you had been shot from behind.

Fortunately, those scoundrels don't shoot well.

Otherwise, you'd be dead.

Did you carry me in?

I... I'll pour out the water.

Fu Yao, we should get going.

Where to?

Who cares? We're not staying here.

These people in Yao City have no sense of camaraderie.

They don't even obey orders.

You'll regret it if you die for them!

Come, we should leave right away!

Come here.

What is it?

What are you doing?

I already told you.

Don't try to persuade me to leave.

I'll gamble with my life if anyone tells me to leave.

Look at the state you're in!

How can you not leave?

Even if you want to leave, you'll have to make it out of here.

Look at this skinny body of yours.

You'll be shot right away.

In the end, Fu Yao and I will have to save you anyway.

Who says?

I'm from the Stealth Merman Tribe.

I can escape by digging a hole.

Speaking of digging tunnels

there aren't many in the five kingdoms who can surpass me.

If you don't believe me, I can dig one now.

- You-- - Enough!

Anyway, I won't leave.

You shouldn't blame them.

Who doesn't fear death?

Besides, they have been starving for days.

If someone gave me a bite to eat, I'd want to surrender too.

But I made Wu Ji a promise.

I have to defend the people of Yao City.

I can't abandon them.

But...

But I don't want you to die.

Even if I do die, do you think the grim reaper would dare to take me in?

You have a plan, don't you?

Tell us quickly.

It depends on our Stealth Merman now.

If no reinforcement comes to our aid, we won't be able to defend Yao City.

So we must split into teams.

Seven, we'll rely on your tunnel.

The two of you will leave through the tunnel.

One of you, head east to Tianquan and the other, north to Tiansha.

You must inform them of our predicament.

Yao City...

Over 2,000 lives... and I will rely on you two now.

Take care.

I'll wait for you here in Yao City.

Be careful.

Take care.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness, the crown prince has entered Geya Desert.

Wu Ji...

He just had to seek his doom.

Of course, I have to see him off then.

Without the cavalry from Shangyang Palace

killing Wu Ji will be as easy as catching a turtle in the jar.

I've competed with him since we were children.

Yet you had to choose to fall to your doom in Geya Desert.

I didn't expect that.

Attack!

Prince Yi is going to kill the crown prince.

Zhangsun Jiong condoned it.

You can't just do nothing about it.

I'm afraid that even if I want to help, the crown prince wouldn't allow it.

Wu Ji does hold himself in too high of a moral ground.

He has shown you much disrespect.

That's wrong of him.

But the situation is different now.

However wrong he may be, how can you bear to--

What if something really happens upon him?

I--

I was just vexed.

How could I hold it against a young man?

Do you have a solution then?

I've already sent out elite soldiers to protect the crown prince discreetly.

However...

However?

Tell me, quickly.

The crown prince has gotten caught in quicksand.

No one knows if he's alive or not.

No...

Nothing could have happened to Wu Ji.

You must have gotten it wrong!

Qing Yi... don't panic.

There's no news from Prince Yi yet.

That's the best news we could have.

Prince Yi's ambition is known to all, and he's getting impatient.

If I pretend to play up to him

I might be able to get some information from him.

At the same time, I'll keep sending soldiers into Geya Desert

to search for Wu Ji.

Here in the palace, you must keep your wits about you.

Wait calmly to hear from me.

All right.

- What should we do? - My fellow men! Don't panic.

We'll find a way! Don't panic.

She's here!

Madam Fu is here!

Madam Fu is here.

Let's ask her!

What should we do now?

What should we do?

There's no food!

How are we to survive?

Madam, we have nothing left.

There's no food or water!

Come up with a solution!

There's not a drip of water in Yao City now!

Without food, we might be able to persist for a few days

but without water, we... we won't even last a day!

Exactly!

- Exactly! - Come up with a solution!

What should we do?

We can't even have watered-down congee now!

The gods are going to end the lives in Yao City!

Exactly!

What should we do, Madam Fu?

My fellow men!

Yao City is in peril.

It's only a matter of time before the city is taken.

Those who suit actions to the times are wise.

If we continue to put up a fight and resist

the day the enemies break in will be a day of great calamity.

I won't let you get killed by the Black Militia

because of my stubbornness.

Therefore...

This city...

We won't defend it anymore.

How can we not defend it?

You... You're such a despicable, selfish, and shameless woman!

You're going to betray Yao City!

You're trying to save yourself!

You must be crazy!

Are you using the lives of everyone in the city to save yours?

Are you trying to get us killed?

You're so selfish and shameless!

You're so vicious!

You're such a vicious woman!

Give us an explanation!

Explain yourself!

Do you want to reprimand me too?

Seven and Ya Lan Zhu have been away for four or five days.

But there's no news of them.

You can find Wu Ji for me, right?

You have a way to do it, right?

Everyone will die if we keep defending this city.

I can only rely on you now.

Go find Wu Ji for me, please?

Stop hesitating!

Just do me this favor!

You must bring Wu Ji back here.

Madam!

Madam!

Vicious woman!

You'll get all of us killed!

You don't care about our lives!

You'll get us all killed!

Beat her to death!

Stop it!

We were so loyal to you!

Get lost!

Stop it!

Stop throwing things at her!

You've misunderstood her!

Stop throwing things at her!

You've misunderstood Madam Fu!

Stop throwing things at her! Stop it!

She's not that kind of person!

She isn't!

You're infatuated with her beauty!

Didn't you say you'd marry her?

- Stop it! - That shameless woman!

You deceived us! You're scum!

You've misunderstood her!

She isn't like that!

She isn't!

The county magistrate of Yao City is here to hand over the city!

If you're here to surrender

why didn't you open the city gates instead of coming here alone?

If I open the city gates, which of you would dare to enter?

Aren't you scared that I'll have you ambushed?

What could be more sincere coming out here alone?

This way!

The county magistrate of Yao City is here to surrender the city.

With my seal, you can march into Yao City without obstacles

and all the way to the Imperial City of Tianquan.

How arrogant.

Yao City is but a small city.

If I want to seize it, it's within my grasp.

Why would I need you to surrender it to me?

I sound arrogant?

You're right.

Yao City is indeed a small city.

There are no high walls, canons, or even a well-trained army.

But we managed to keep you out for almost half a month.

Within your grasp? I'm afraid it has taken you too long.

You--

It took you such a long time.

Tell me. How will you answer to Zhangsun Ping Rong?

How will you recover the fallen morale of your army

to make them continue fighting for you?

I'm here to help you.

But I'm really disappointed at your attitude

as I came here to surrender the city.

Forget it.

I should seek a better master for the survival of my citizens.

I'll take my leave.

Hold it!

Madam Fu, don't be angry.

I was too impolite.

I trust you!

Since the Chief trusts me...

would you like to take a look at the official seal?

Just in case you accuse me of giving you a fake one.

Why would I, Madam Fu?

Do you all have eyes?

Take a good look at the seal that Yao City's county magistrate brought me!

Shouldn't you also express your sincerity then?

Sure!

Of course!

Anyone?

Prepare the items needed for the alliance ritual.

Yes!

Chief, I heard that the blood used to swear in the alliance ritual

is drawn from the heart to prove one's loyalty.

Are you scared, Chief?

After you.

Listen up, all of you!

You won't be able to defend this city anymore!

Your county magistrate has fled!

She exchanged your lives for hers!

Why are you still hanging in there?

Open the gates, quickly!

You may still get to live then!

Hurry up!

If anyone of you is capable enough to serve in the Black Militia's den

we might let you live!

If not, we'll kill everyone!

Kill her!

What's wrong?

Bitch! You have some guts!

I'll kill you today!

Listen up, everyone!

Whoever lets her get away, I'll have him killed!

Yes!

Miss Fu Yao, we're acting upon orders to protect you.

Please trust us.

Leave quickly.

Go after her!

- Go! - Go after her!

The Petrify Poison...

Lass...

It's me!

Open the gates!

I've returned!

Archers!

I only pretended to surrender!

I have killed their commander!

They are bound to retreat in three days!

Their troops will catch up with us soon! Open the gates!

Open the gates?

Are we to let a traitor in to wipe us all out?

Fire!

Open the gates!

You still insist that she's innocent!

You still say that she's not a traitor!

Do you hear her now?

Go open the gates!

Open it for your master!

Go open the gates!

Go on!

She isn't a traitor!

I say she isn't!

Please believe me!

I can swear upon my life that Fu Yao isn't a traitor!

I'm begging you!

Please let Fu Yao in! Let her in!

You can't break it!

My father crafted those chains with a thousand-year-old iron.

Just give up.

Tell me. Why?

She deserves to die!

She deserves to die!

Open the gate!

Open the gate quickly!

Open the gate now!

Don't shoot!

I want to see her die slowly.

Please let her in...

I'm begging you!

The ones I'm risking my life for would actually shut me out.

Those I don't even know are the ones who sacrificed for me!

This world...

What am I to make of it?

Open the gate!

Please save her!

I'm willing to exchange my life for hers!

Don't!

Kill me!

This is what a traitor deserves!

Kill her!
