[Song of Youth]

[Episode 35]

Sun Youde!

She's sent from above to cause trouble on purpose, isn't she?

Miss, don't be angry. Drink some tea.

What are you doing?

- I'm sorry, miss. - Are you brainless or blind?

- I didn't mean to. - Take me somewhere to change my clothes.

Yes.

Why are you standing there? Come over and help me.

Yes.

Brother Sun, my condolences.

Take a seat.

- Thank you all. - I never thought something like this would happen.

Are the guests in the courtyard being served well?

Madam, Second Young Master has people keep an eye on it. Don't worry.

Good.

We can't lose courtesy and be laughed at.

In the past, the two brothers could take care of each other.

Now I have this one son left.

What a miserable life.

Madam-in-law, we can't bring the dead back to life. My condolences.

My heart has been aching the past few days.

I haven't served madam-in-law well.

I'll take a walk with you in the garden.

Let's go.

Look at the peonies over there.

It's elegant and pretty like a beauty, which is smooth and rosy.

Pure yet exquisite,

it won't all wither in a hundred days.

That's right. These flowers are blooming better this year than ever before.

If someone could embroider them vividly,

it would be one of a kind.

Only gods could embroider these flowers vividly.

Madam-in-law, what's so funny?

Madam-in-law, as you may not know, that person is in our family.

What a coincidence. Our young mistress

happens to have this unique skill.

Li Ying, come here.

Great embroidery. The flowers look like they just got picked.

Our young mistress's needlework

is excellent indeed. I'm not boasting.

There are many women with great needlework skills.

But those who are like our young mistress

probably can be counted with one hand.

Look at the flowers on this dress.

The flowers and leaves are made in the combination of the four famous embroidery styles.

It's very unique. The only one.

Yes. Her nimble hands are rare.

The flowers are truly beautiful.

Just some simple trick. I hope I didn't show myself up.

- I'm looking for your young mistress. - You're not allowed to go in.

I'm looking for your young mistress. I'm looking for your young mistress.

Who's being so noisy over there?

- I'm looking for your young mistress. - Who are you?

How dare you rush into Li Manor without permission!

How do you all do your job? Drag him out now!

- Go! - Don't! I have something to say.

- I have something to say. - Go ahead.

I'm here to ask for a reward.

I'm very close to your young mistress.

She can't turn around and forget all about me.

Where's the reward you promised?

At least 10 taels or so. After all, I worked hard for it.

What a joke!

Why don't you look in the mirror and see who you are?

Which lady would like you? Leave now. Leave.

What? Don't!

This is Li Ying's.

Absurd! Drag him out immediately!

- Yes. - No, I'm not lying.

- Go. - I'm really close to Li Ying.

I'm really close to Li Ying.

- Get out. - Don't drag me. I'm really close to Li Ying.

Aren't these flowers peonies that are made in the combination of the four famous embroidery styles?

What?

Why were my clothes...

- You brought disgrace on me. - How shameful.

Mother. Mother, I really didn't!

It wasn't me, mother!

Mother!

I don't know what's wrong with the Li family.

They saw ghosts and something unpleasant happened.

Exactly. I find it strange too.

Shaochun, did you do anything to punish those people?

Not me. I've been with you all lately.

How could I have time to arrange these things?

That's strange. Are there ghosts for real?

No ghosts in the world are bored like this.

I believe someone did them on purpose.

Who did?

Anyway, it's a good thing that someone helped out.

We'll wait and see.

Was it him?

Mother, you've been busy all day. Why don't I walk you back so you can rest?

Yes, I'm tired too.

Don't walk me back. I have them with me. You should rest early too.

Let's go.

Dizhu, Dizhu.

Are you still mad at me?

I'm not mad at you.

I know this is your job.

It's good that you're not mad.

You didn't come here just to say this, did you?

Of course not.

What's going on?

What would you do if I were to do something extremely dangerous?

If it affected a lot of people and had to be done, I'd support you.

What if I die?

Haven't I told you this already?

I'll take care of myself so you can rest assured.

Good. Great then.

What on earth are you going to do?

Mu City is in great danger and brothers in the camp died one group after another.

I must have reinforcements allocated.

I've sent smoke signals but heard nothing so far, so I have to go by myself.

The journey ahead is dangerous. Everything else doesn't worry me.

I'm only worried about you.

Don't worry about me. I'll definitely wait till you come back.

Great.

Take a walk with me.

I have something to tell you.

I can't tell whether you're a good person or not.

But you should be well aware of how well Dizhu treats you.

If you have a conscience, then don't hurt her.

I won't hurt her. She saved my life.

She's the most important person to me.

It's great that you're grateful. I'll leave her to you.

If anything happens to me, please take care of her for me.

What are you going to do?

I'm going out of the city to have reinforcements allocated. There's a slim chance that I may survive it.

You told me such an important thing.

If it spreads, it's going to be my fault again.

Not only you, but all civilians in the city also know about it.

What do you mean?

If I leave Mu City, the enemy will take action.

I can shoot fish in a barrel like I did last time.

If the enemy believes that it's a plot and doesn't dare to take a leap in the dark,

then I'll have enough time to have reinforcements allocated.

You're very prudent. What a brilliant general you are.

But what I don't understand is that this city isn't special at all.

It's just an ordinary town.

Why do you sacrifice so much for it?

There are always some things

that are worth protecting in your life. Just like this city.

As long as it's standing, it's my greatest happiness in life.

Actually I didn't have to explain it to anyone.

Those who know it will understand it. Those who don't will never understand it.

I don't understand it,

but I know how to repay those who treat me well

and how to pay back those who treat me badly.

You have extreme views on love and hate.

Isn't it tiring to live like this?

Vengeance causes more vengeance. Hatred can never be forgotten or got rid of.

Only you can let yourself go.

Alright. Take care of Dizhu for me. If I can come back,

I won't let you have her.

You're back.

Here.

How much herbal medicine do we have left?

I'm asking you. How much herbal medicine is left?

That's it.

It looks like we have to get more herbal medicine.

I'll go then.

Anyway civilians can go in and out of the city freely. I can go to the mountains.

I'll go with you.

You don't need to. Just leave such tough work as picking herbal medicine to men.

Alright. Be careful. Come back as soon as possible.

No problem.

Lord.

Who are you? How do you know Wild Wolf's argot?

Younger brother.

Elder brother.

Brother, aren't you an imperial official in the capital?

Why are you here?

The officialdom is dark. I got plotted against

and demoted to Lingnan. I was going to visit you along the way,

but there happens to be a war here,

so I had someone protect you secretly.

Brother, I always thought I survived because I got lucky.

It was you who saved me.

Brother, I haven't seen you for a while. You've grown taller now.

You've become a real man.

Do you still remember how we got separated back then?

I'll always remember it.

Good. Never forget our enmity.

We brothers must work together to take revenge for our parents.

Here's the emperor's decree.

Jia Zhen of the Astronomical Directorate didn't fulfill his job duties and abused power for his personal gain.

He disrespected the country and the people, and he has committed suicide.

Everyone aged 15 or above in the family will be banished.

Those who are less than 15 years old will be sold as slaves.

- Respect it. - Brother. - Let me go!

Come and look at slaves. Take a look at the slaves.

Do you want to buy slaves?

Dandits! Run! run!

- Don't get lost. - This way. Go in.

Hurry!

Don't be angry. What can I help you with?

Shut up!

- Run! - Run!

Excellent!

- Get him. - He's still alive.

Let me go. Let me go. Let me go.

Boss, this is useless.

Stop!

Brothers, I had a dream last night,

where I would have a son today.

This kid survived, so he's going to be a big shot in the future.

Now you're my son.

From today on, you're called Guye.

Congrats, boss.

Take him with us.

Let me go! Let me go!

Bend your front leg and tighten your back leg.

From now on, you're the king

of the bandits. Put this on.

Adoptive father! Adoptive father.

The famous Wild Wolf is just so-so.

You won't be Wild Wolf anymore.

I will be! You...

You're just a dog.

Wild Wolf! Wild Wolf! Wild Wolf!

- Drink! - Drink!

Boss, when I patrolled the mountains, I caught a staff member of Prefect Li of Mu City.

This bastard is often against us. I tied him up and took him back. Boss, please decide how to deal with him.

Good job. You'll be rewarded.

Bring him here.

- Bring him here! - Go! Hurry!

Go! Hurry!

- Kneel down. - Boss, everyone's happy today.

Now we have a target. We'll chop him up so our brothers can practice.

- Chop him up! - Chop him up!

Go ahead.

Brother Yun!

Are you Jia Yunpeng?

Who are you?

I'm your elder brother Jia Fengyuan. Don't you know me?

Elder brother?

Brother! Untie my elder brother!

- Untie him now. - Who's that?

Brother Yun!

It's really you, Brother Yun.

Brother, where have you been over the years?

It's a long story.

I was going to be banished, but someone saved him on the way there.

Then I hid my identity, studied hard and became the prefect's staff member.

I've been looking for you all these years

but I never heard anything about you.

I thought I would never see you again, but we finally met each other here.

This is fate.

Since you've become an imperial official,

then why should I be against you?

Maybe I should quit being a bandit.

Instead, I'll make a living with you.

Is he going to quit being a bandit?

No, keep being a boss.

The one defending Mu City is Sun Xun's second son, Sun Junhao.

You must hold him off so he can't get more power.

If he has a powerful army, it'll be a great advantage to Sun Xun.

Then it'll be more difficult for us to deal with him.

Okay. I do as you say.

Over the years, I've spent all my fortune

to hire a hundred warriors

so we can take revenge on Sun Xun one day.

Sun Junhao is Sun Xun's favorite son. As long as we kill him,

we'll be able to let Sun Xun experience what it's like to lose his family.

Sun Junhao has left Mu City for three days.

As far as I know, he's going back to get more reinforcements.

I don't know how many soldiers there are after he left Mu City.

I also don't know if he's going to do the same thing again and use the Empty Fort Strategy.

I don't have to fight the soldiers in the city.

I just need to deal with him.

Brother, Sun Junhao finally died. Here.

Let's celebrate it. Come on!

Drink! Drink!

Cheers! Cheers!

Let's get out of here.

Let's go!

Hurry up.

Second Young Master, we finally killed Wild Wolf's people.

But Second Young Master, you got stabbed many times and bled a lot.

Why do you seem fine?

This armor was given to me by the emperor before I went to the battlefield.

It's full of blood inside.

When the enemy pierced the armor, blood surely came out.

Then the enemy thought I died.

It's a great country indeed since you have treasures like this.

Take a closer look at everything. We can't let anyone escape.

Yes.

Hurry!

Brother, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Compared to the pain of losing our father back then, this injury is nothing.

It's just that I've plotted for years,

only to lose to Sun Junhao.

This person is very lucky. He can always escape.

He may be safe,

but the people around him may not. Does he have a lover?

No. Brother, you can hurt anyone but this woman.

Why not?

Do you like her?

Brother, as long as we take revenge, you can date any women.

Don't forget how our parents died.

Are their lives not as important as this woman?

Where did you go? What took you so long?

The food I saved for you has cooled down. Hurry up and eat.

I'm not eating. I don't have an appetite.

Do you think I really let the food cool down?

I was just scaring you.

I kept the food warm on the stove. It's your favorite.

Hurry up and eat.

What's wrong?

Alright. Eat.

Why are you treating me so well?

You and I just met by chance.

One day you'll even realize I don't deserve what you've done for me

and I'm not worth saving.

I'm the youngest daughter in the family.

My siblings are a lot older than me.

I've been spoiled since I was little.

I don't have a younger brother, so I think of you as my younger brother since I saved you.

What if I'm a bad person?

Are you?

What would you do if I was?

What else could I do? I'd kill you.

Then kill me.

Who upset you?

Alright. If you didn't like it when I blamed you for coming home late,

then I apologize to you. Okay?

Eat it all. Hurry.

Second Young Master, a letter for you.

[To Sun Junhao]

I have Yao Dizhu. Come to Chenyou Valley immediately.

Maybe you'll still be able to see Yao Dizhu alive.

Have two troops come with me.

Yes.

Just say whatever you have to say. Why do you hesitate?

People change all the time. Did your family never tell you

not to trust anyone easily?

They surely did, but I'm willing to trust people.

Why?

You'll meet a lot of people in your life.

If you had to be careful with everyone, it'd be exhausting to live.

People have feelings.

If you treat them sincerely, they'll treat you sincerely as well.

When we first started learning, the first sentence we learned was

"People at birth are naturally good".

How would wise men of the past lie?

You're wrong.

Some people are naturally evil.

No matter how well you treat them,

they'll eventually show their true colors and hurt you.

You can't influence these people. Don't waste time.

What do you want to do?

I'm going to teach you a lesson today. If you can survive,

don't ever trust anyone easily.

You...

I'm Wild Wolf.

The Wild Wolf you know is just a scapegoat. I'm the real Wild Wolf.

I knew it.

You did?

What's wrong? Why are you in a rush?

Where's Guye?

Xiaoye went to the mountains to pick herbal medicine. He hasn't come back yet. Why?

Dizhu, you must be careful. Guye is very suspicious.

Here we go again.

- One must be vigilant to avoid being harmed. Take this with you. - What's this?

This is safflower powder. Whoever takes it gets poisoned.

Keep it with you. You must be careful of him.

I don't want it. Why can't you accept him?

Dizhu, you must believe me.

Just in case.

If he's not evil, I have the antidote here.

I definitely won't let him die. If it's really him,

then he'll deserve it and you won't have to care about him.

Look at this. A lot of herbal medicine.

You're back.

A lot of food.

Wash your hands first.

Okay. I'll wash my hands.

So I've been poisoned.

Exactly.

Xiaoye, you can still change your mind.

As long as you dismiss everyone, I'll beg Junhao to give you the antidote.

But if you're being stubborn, then I won't have mercy on you.

Mu City's been greatly damaged. Many people died because of me.

- Do you think I have a chance to change my mind? - You–

Now you should hate me so much. It's good for you.

Only when you are hard-hearted can you protect yourself.

If you don't give it a try, how do you know there's no going back?

I don't want to.

Guye, you can't escape today.

If you let us arrest you, you may be able to stay alive.

Do you think they obey my orders?

They don't care about my life.

Listen up!

Sun Junhao has control over my life.

I order you all to put your weapons down and not to resist.

You see? Nobody listens to me.

Dizhu, don't trust anyone.

If anyone on the verge of death hides in a haystack again,

don't save them. Just let them die.

Especially for someone wicked like me. If you see me in your next life,

you must stay away from me.

I don't understand it.

Why do you have to sacrifice your life to achieve your goal? What for?

Dizhu, if we can't leave here alive,

will you regret being with me?

I won't regret! Even If I die,

I'll die with you together!

Soldiers of Mu City, do whatever it takes to kill the enemy. No compromise!

- Kill! - Kill!

Nobody ever cared about me in my life.

I swore from that moment on

that if anyone treated me well and truly cared about me,

I would sacrifice my life

to repay them for their kindness.

Sun Junhao is a responsible man. Marrying him, you won't suffer for sure.

I won't be able to see you in a wedding dress,

so I'm giving you a huge present in advance.

What's going on?

Why did they all fall?

Wild Wolf's head and the achievement of wiping out the bandits.

No!

Xiaoye!

Xiaoye!

Xiaoye! Xiaoye!

Xiaoye!

Hold on.

We-We'll go home. Master will definitely heal you.

- Go. - It's too late.

It's too late.

Why are you so silly?

I'm not silly.

Before they left, I gave them knockout drug.

Sun Junhao, you owe me this time.

These people are well trained and can't be ordinary bandits.

Gu Ye, tell me where your cohorts are.

In order to protect the person who I want to protect,

I would even give up my life.

Sun Junhao,

you are no match to me on this.

Why is it you?

Why are you doing this?

Xiaoye.

Xiaoye, you...

Xiaoye, wake up.

Xiaoye.

I-I actually didn't put in poison, Xiaoye.

I have always believed that you are a good person.

Xiaoye.

Why did you... Why?

Why?

You are selfish!

Xiaoye!

Xiaoye!

Why?

Jia Yunpeng, why are you so stupid?

This was a flawless plan, but you had to give up your life.

You cannot face the deceased parents.

You cannot face Jia family's ancestor.

My Lord, we should get on our way.

Pirates are rampant in Lingnan. You are going there to suppress the rebellion.

I know that. Gather the people.

We'll embark immediately.

Yes.

Go rest some more.

Don't keep thinking about him.

I really don't understand why he took this road.

Maybe the person behind the scene is the person he is guarding with his life.

It's really thanks to him this time. If it weren't for him,

I really wouldn't have known so many bandits were in Mu City.

I wish we had discovered sooner.

If I had consoled him more, he wouldn't have gotten this idea.

Why was I so stupid?

I spent time with him day and night, but never noticed any clues.

It's not your fault.

Reporting, Second Young Master.

The bandits that were just captured have all committed suicide with poison when they woke up.

What? Committed suicide with poison?

Yes, they hid poison under their tongues.

Rather than bandits, they are more like groomed suicide fighters.

They never said a word before dying.

Looks like we lost the traces again.

My lord, don't worry. In the previous battle, the person behind the scene must have ordered all the men to fight.

Now that these men are dead,

he won't be able to do much by himself. I don't think he will dare to act rashly.

That's right.

It looks like Mu City will be peaceful for a while. We can console those brothers who died in vain.

Since it's peace now, should we hold the wedding now?

Yes, we should hold the wedding.

Yes, I'm going to organize and will definitely have a grand wedding banquet for Second Young Master and Second Young Mistress.

Second Young Master.

What's the matter this time?

There's someone at the door who wants to meet you.

Wait for me for a while. I'll be right back.

Hmm.

Second Young Master, Lord Magistrate ordered me to send you a letter.

You may leave.

Yes.

Second Young Master, what is it?

Bandits are rampant in Yueyang. The prefecture magistrate is recommending me to supress the bandits.

We just suppressed Wild Wolf and haven't rested for a few days, now we are going to Yueyang.

You are even getting married.

Don't force yourself.

Everything must go with your heart.

Others recommend me to go, do I have to go?

In this world, nothing is more important than my marriage. I'm not going.

The curtain is warm and red candle is flickering. The general lifts the red cover.

The golden arrow seals the two hearts' accord. Today they become one.

General and Madam drink the wine from two halves of a gourd.

The couple's deep love will last forever.

We wish General Sun and Madam to enjoy a hundred years of harmony and have a child soon.

Thank you, ma'am.

This is the frontier, so we can't have a wedding as grand as in the capital.

You've suffered.

I don't mind it, as long as you are here.

I have finally reached this day.

I'm the one who has finally reached this day.

Junhao, I know you are full of passion to serve the imperial court.

You shouldn't be tied down by personal feelings.

So I want to give you a gift.

Resignation letter? Didn't I already sent it?

I stopped it.

A good man has great ambitions.

If by marrying me, you end up cutting your career short and become an ordinary person,

I won't be able to face you and will disappoint my original wish.

I will wait for your victorious return and for you to escort me to the Sun Manor. If you get defeated, I'll still say the same words.

I will live on and live well.

I will find a man who loves me and live a good life with him. This is my original promise to you.

Dizhou.

Hush.

Today is our happy day. Let's not say those sentimental words.
