Escort the Princess! -Princess!

Escort the Princess! -Princess!

Escort the Princess!

Princess!

Princess Anyang! -Princess!

Princess! -Princess Anyang!

Princess!

Where are the others? Are they still sleeping?

They have gone to see the wedding team.

Brother, is this nice?

Xiao Nan, where did you get it? -I picked up on the way.

It's everywhere in Chang'an.

Brother, shall we paste it at home?

Her Highness is not married to our family. Why do we paste it?

If you like it, you may paste it in your room.

Baron Yun, I broke the necklace...

...which you care the most.

I don't want to owe you.

Today, you may draw another one...

...based on my look.

Okay. -Even though you meet someone...

...who loves you sincerely,...

...are you going to stick to your decision, too?

Where are we now? -We've left Chang'an.

Li Anlan!

Li Anlan!

Is there someone calling me?

Li Anlan! -It's true, Your Highness.

I heard it, too.

Li Anlan!

Who is making a scene here?

Baron Yun, you're not allowed to disturb the wedding team.

I'm the envoy of the wedding. Move aside!

What are you trying to do?

Li Anlan, get down!

I'm going to get married. Without the decree,...

...how could you stop the cart? -As long as you follow me back,...

...I can let Your Majesty take back his order.

I've told you. It's none of your business.

Go back. -Why are you so stubborn?

Am I supposed to let you do silly things without stopping you?

Since I've decided to get married, I won't do silly things.

The rest of your life will be hopeless if you marry a Turk.

It's none of your business. I've made up my mind.

Go back.

Li Anlan! -Arrest him now!

He's the envoy. -He's just posing!

Arrest him! -Li Anlan, get out!

Li Anlan!

Li Anlan, I love you!

What did you say? -I said, I love you.

I don't believe that.

How dare you say that to my concubine?

She's not your concubine! She's my wife!

You're the one in my portrait, but not Xiao Ran.

I keep reminding myself that I love Xiao Ran,...

...but I can't remember her face anymore.

I painted you! I'm in love with you now!

Hurry!

Lan'er!

Where is the Princess? -Her Highness is abducted.

Go back to Chang'an!

Where is Ashina?

Tell us now.

Your Majesty,...

...King Ashina is sitting at Yong'an Gate with his soldiers.

He demands Your Majesty to hand over the Princess.

What a rude man!

My daughter is missing...

...yet he makes a scene now!

Your Majesty, the most important matter now...

...is to find Her Highness. Before we find out the truth,...

...it's not a wise choice...

...to fall out with King Ashina of Turks.

Shouldn't he take responsibility as he was escorting the Princess?

If any mishap happens to Her Highness,...

...I'll be the first one to kill him!

Stop creating problems now!

I didn't! I..... -Let's go! I shall see...

...how he lost the Princess of Tang!

Why don't Your Highness take a rest in the guesthouse first?

We don't know when His Majesty will be here.

Stop talking nonsense! If I can't meet the Emperor of Tang today,...

...I'll let the world know how he broke his promise!

Ashina, how dare you.

Your Majesty seem to be proud.

You broke your promise yet you're questioning me now?

Are you bullying us since we're outnumbered?

Are we the minorities for you?

We'll be rude if we're forced!

Ashina!

Listen carefully!

You're allowed to be here not because we're afraid of Turks!

Tell me! Where is Princess Anyang?

Look at your soldiers.

Do you want to kill us?

If I'm killed today,...

...it'd be the end for your country, too!

Ashina, shall I just kill you?

General Cheng, don't act rashly.

Your Majesty,...

...he's the King of Turks after all.

Your Majesty can't kill him here.

It's outside of the palace here.

Father, sister is missing. We can't kill him now.

Your Majesty, we shouldn't allow him to make a scene here.

Take him away!

Stop right there!

What happened to you, brother?

Who did this to you?

Where is your concubine?

Your Majesty, what's going on?

Your Majesty must give us an answer.

Don't worry. We haven't found out the truth.

If King Ashina can tell me the whereabouts of Princess Anyang,...

...we may find out the truth soon.

You asked me the whereabouts of Princess Anyang?

What a joke! Stop pretending anymore!

You should hand over Princess Anyang to me!

Ashina!

My Princess left with your team.

How dare you question me the whereabouts of the Princess?

Bring the man here!

Tell your Emperor who brought the Princess away.

Your Majesty, the person who abducted the Princess...

...is from Tang. -What did you say?

Well.....

Whatever it is,...

...you're a King of Turks. How could you lose to a bandit?

Bring me the sabre!

General, isn't this the sabre from your country?

Well.....

Where did you get it? -It was left behind by the bandit.

What a great Tang it is.

The Princess broke her promise before the wedding.

After the Princess left with me, your men went to stop us.

I think you sent Baron Yun Ye to stall us, too.

Shut up!

As a King of Turks, you can't even protect your wife!

I shouldn't have betrothed the Princess to you!

Your Majesty, we're still in Tang.

No matter who they are, they are your men.

You blame us for the incident.

Isn't it unreasonable? -You.....

Your Majesty, please calm down.

The most important matter now is to find the Princess.

I shall not argue with you anymore.

Send the King to the guesthouse for treatment...

...and never let him leave. -Yes.

Kings, this way please.

Brother, we shall bear with it first.

Let's settle it with them once we get back to Turks.

We must keep it as a secret. Wei Zheng, go to the guesthouse...

...and keep watch on the Kings. Don't allow them to take any move.

Yes, Your Majesty. -Cheng Yaojin.

Yes, Your Majesty. -Investigate...

...the soldiers around Chang'an.

Yes, Your Majesty.

What's wrong with Yun Ye? Is he trying to create troubles for me?

Where is he? Find him now.

I got it. -Go with the imperial guards.

Father. -Hurry up!

Yes.

Come in.

You were shocked. We've brought some wine and meat for you.

I'm just going to look for you.

The Emperor has put us on guard now.

It's difficult for us to leave the guesthouse now.

Who dares to stop me if I want to leave?

Yes. They've underestimated your power.

Although we normally address each other as brother,...

...I've always seen you as my big brother.

The number of soldiers that you have is almost the same as mine.

Why do you regard me as your big brother now?

I've figured it out today.

It's pointless for us to fight among the four of us.

We're nothing to the Emperor of Tang.

Since he could humiliate you today,...

...he may do the same thing to us in the future.

What's your opinion? -Brother,...

...we're at disadvantage now.

We can't even stop him if he wants to kill us.

I think we should go back to Turks first.

If you're in love with the Princess,...

...we can have a war with them.

I'm willing to help you. -Me, too.

We're having the same thought. I'm going to send my adviser...

...a letter to get the army. Since you're offering help,...

...I feel so relieved.

Let's go for a drink.

Let's go for a drink.

Let's go.

You may eat the rabbit now.

Do the clothes suit me?

You look pretty. It's better than the red one.

Doesn't red look nice?

I think it's ugly. If you marry me in the future,...

...I'll make the best wedding gown for you.

Wedding gown? -It's the best wedding clothes.

Did I say that I want to marry you?

You're so weak. If I marry you,...

...who is able to protect me?

Could you protect me if someone is here?

I have to protect you no matter what. If you're abducted,...

...I'll feel so embarrassed. I'll try my best to fight with them.

What if you're not their match?

We shall perish together. No matter what it is,...

...no one is allowed to take you away from me.

You're just a sweet-talker.

I'm telling you the truth. -However, you always lie to me.

Shall I show you my heart?

How did you make it? -Make a guess.

You're so smart. You could even manipulate the fireflies.

Is it magic?

Well,...

...it's honey, right?

Dear, you're so smart.

I have no idea what's in your mind every day.

It's worth it since you're smiling.

I've given you my heart.

You must never leave it in the future.

Yun Ye.

I'm so happy now.

I've never been so happy.

Thank you. -It's not enough.

I want to live in the woods with you and lead a blissful life.

However,...

...I'm sorry.

I can't.....

You should treat me better in the future if that's the case.

Yun Ye, listen to me. I can't be so selfish.

If I'm selfish, my family, your family...

...and many more people...

...will lead a miserable life.

I can't live at ease no matter where I am.

It's the same for you.

Lan'er, can't we just stay like this?

I'm the Princess of Tang.

Every decision made by father is for the sake of the people.

I can't be selfish. I have to stay here.

The country belongs to your father, not you.

Why do you have to suffer alone?

Are you going to sacrifice your happiness...

...for the peace of the world?

Lan'er, think about me. Please be selfish for once.

You may just forget that you've been to Chang'an.

Let's just live as normal people.

I wish I could do that, too, but I can't.

Yun Ye, I love you.

No matter where I am, you'll always stay in my heart.

Shall I send you off tomorrow?

How are things coming along now? Did you find out anything?

Your Majesty, the four Kings have never left the guesthouse.

Their servants went out a couple of times...

...to get the wine and mutton.

I don't want to know the small matters.

What about you, Cheng Yaojin? -Your Majesty,...

...I've investigated all the soldiers around Chang'an.

Some soldiers were not around these few days...

...but there is nothing wrong with them.

Therefore, I think the bandits are not our soldiers.

However,...

...a batch of sabres was written off recently...

...but the general in charge didn't destroy...

...or remake them based on the rules.

He sold them to the black market.

That's indeed our sabre then.

No worries, Your Majesty.

I've killed the general.

Find out where the sabres are. -Yes.

I shall take my leave. -Go ahead.

Have you found Yun Ye?

Father, if the imperial guards find Yun Ye,...

...what shall we do to him?

If Anlan has left with Yun Ye,...

...just ask the imperial guards to come back.

Father, Turks.....

If a mishap happens to Lan'er,...

...I'll definitely kill him!

Yes, father.

Enjoy the noodles.

Noodles seared with red oil. -Please enjoy the noodles.

Thank you.

What are you looking? Dig in. It's turning cold.

I'm looking at them.

Look at them.

Although they lead a simple life, they're supporting each other.

I'm so envious of them. -Yes.

Do you think it's easy to lead a simple life?

I've learnt a lesson after knowing you.

Leading a simple life is the hardest thing in my life.

Yun Ye, promise me.

No matter where we are in the future,...

...you mustn't forget these few days that we spent together.

Stop talking nonsense.

I know you well.

I won't allow you to go for the political marriage.

Do you have any other solution?

Dig in. You won't get to eat this after going back.

Let me mix it for you. -Go away.

Hurry up! -What's going on?

What did I just say?

What's going on? -His Majesty wants to meet you.

Father.

Father. Greetings.

Qian'er, is it the sound of the magpies?

Yes, I have good news.

Look who is here. Come in.

Anlan? -Father.

Is it really you, Lan'er?

Kneel before me!

Father. -How dare you!

You bribed the bandits and abducted my daughter!

Father, Yun Ye has saved me. Without him,...

...I would be dead by now. -Father,...

...the imperial guards found them in Chang'an.

If Yun Ye had abducted sister, why would he bring her back?

What's actually going on?

It's so evil of the man who set the trap!

Father, since sister is back,...

...why don't we let the imperial guards investigate this matter?

There is still no news about the sabres in the black market.

Help General Cheng. -Did you say the black market?

You're familiar with it. Do you have any clue?

My grandmother mentioned that...

...there are a lot of Turks gems in the black market recently...

...and we got the offer, too. -Where are those things now?

I have to ask my grandmother.

If the quality is good, she might have bought it for me.

You have to find out the truth.

Lan'er, the political marriage was set.

You may need to settle it with the Turks.

No way! She mustn't go!

Can we just delay it by saying the Princess is injured?

If we find out that the ambush was set by Turks,...

...we may just cancel it.

I wish I could do that, too.

However, Wei Zheng has found out the secret message from Ashina...

...saying that Turks are preparing their army for the war.

The condition in Shandong is getting worse, too.

If we have a war now.....

We don't have enough money and food.

It's going to be a great disaster for us.

I shall find out the truth. -Your Majesty,...

...if I can prepare...

...everything for the war and solve the problem in Shandong,...

...does the Princess still need to go for the political marriage?

Are you sure, Yun Ye?

Yun Ye,...

...Ministries of Revenue and Military can't solve the problems.

Can you solve it? -Yes, I can.

Yun Ye, you must know that...

...the war is going to start soon.

Are you sure that you can do it?

I'm willing to take the risk to solve the problem with Turks.

I can prepare everything for the war in 7 days.

It's not a joke. -I'll take the military order.

You have to lend me 1,000 mace and a piece of land.

Let the Ministry of Revenue arrange it for you.

What if you fail to do it? -If I fail to do it,...

...I'm willing to hang my head on the city gate.

Yun Ye!

Father, don't listen to his nonsense.

If I can do it,...

...please grant me a marriage.

Fine, I shall have a bet with you.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Naughty kid, you didn't even tell me before going out.

Where did you go? -Grandma,...

...you're going to lose me if you keep questioning me.

How dare you talk back?

I've learnt my lesson. Don't be angry anymore.

Have you learnt your lesson? -Yes.

Shall we eat pig's ear for dinner?

1,000 mace were sent from the palace just now.

I was so scared to receive it.

Why should you?

Grandma, it's going to give us a great help.

I've put the money with the gold granted by Your Majesty.

Grandma, you mentioned...

...Turks gems to me recently.

Where are they? -Your aunt and I...

...went to the market and met a Turk.

He offered us the gems.

I remembered that you like these things.

Therefore, I chose a few of them since they're not bad.

Where are the things? -I've bought them.

Where are they? -They're kept away.

Where are they? -Your aunt has kept it.

Tell her to bring it here.

Have a look.

Is it a luminous pearl? -Yes.

It's so shiny. -Look.

Isn't this the King's sword? -It's shining.

Yes. -It's lovely.

It's precious. -Grandma, where did you get this?

What's wrong, Brother Ye? It's from the Turk.

I think it's precious and expensive,...

...and he wanted to sell it urgently.

No wonder.

Gems! Come and buy gems!

Gems! Come and buy gems!

What's this? -It's diamond.

How much is it? -It's 10 sycee.

It's the best diamond. -Can it be cheaper?

No, it must be 10 sycee.

It's so crowded here. -Of course.

How do you communicate with a foreigner?

What do you mean by a foreigner? -A foreigner is from other places.

His Mandarin is better than yours.

It's naan. How much is this?

It's 3 mace. -3 mace.

Didn't you just eat?

Why are you so relaxed now?

Didn't you take the military order to prepare for the war in 7 days?

What's your plan?

I think god is the only one who can do it.

Since he's confident,...

...he must have a plan. -It smells good.

You're an expert. This is the ivory.

It's so cruel! -What did you say?

It's valuable!

Do not kill animals! You're not good, okay?

What did he say? -What did he say?

Look at the fur.

I hunt it by myself. Have a look.

Yes. -This is great.

Are you an expert? -Have a look at the good fur.

Touch it. -What's the most expensive here?

Glass and spices.

This is glass.

Have a look, sir. It has the best quality.

It should be owned by a nobleman like you. In the name of god,...

...I'll sell it for 5 sycee. -5 sycee?

Are you sure it costs 5 sycee?

We can buy many foals with 5 sycee.

Don't mark up the price as you wish. It's just a processed glass.

This is glass.

It's glass. -It's glass.

It's cheap to get it at 5 sycee.

I've seen one worse than this but it was sold at 10 sycee.

10 sycee?

Who is the richest in Chang'an?

Persian people, Kucha people, Shule people and Gaochang people.

The Japanese are making businesses here, too.

They sell rhino horns and ivories. -Hold on.

Suggest to His Majesty that those things...

...should be banned. No trading, no killing.

What do you mean by that? -Stop selling those things.

They earn their living from those.

Why did you ask me?

You're the typical socialite.

I don't know who else I can ask besides you.

Is that how you judge me? Are we even friends?

If I knew you're just strolling, I wouldn't have followed you.

You..... -It's boring!

It'll be fun later.

Have you remembered my words? The lower the number it is,...

...the lower the alcohol content, and vice versa.

You've been repeating it. I've remembered it!

Okay.

Arrange it in order. -Okay.

What's the alcohol content? -Drink the wine with lower number.

I'm curious about your hospitality, Your Highness.

Don't worry, King Ashina.

Father has found out the truth. The abduction of Princess Anlan...

...has nothing to do with you. Thus, he told me...

...to send the wine here as our apology.

Princess Anlan is my father's favourite daughter.

He was very angry after knowing that she was abducted.

I hope that Your Highness could put yourself in his shoes.

Have you found the Princess? -Yes.

The men that father sent reported that she was saved...

...and they've met up. She'll be back in Chang'an soon.

The wedding will be carried on as planned.

The bandits are too daring.

Father and I won't let them off easily.

Great! Let's have a drink!

Let's have a drink!

Let's drink together! -Come on!

Let's drink! -Let's drink!

Kings, we should enjoy the wine tonight.

Let's get drunk together with the Crown Prince!

That's right. I couldn't drink much.

Therefore, I've brought a few of my brothers here.

They are good drinkers in Tang.

You all should be careful.

Don't look down on us from the grassland.

Four of you are no match for Geshunu in term of drinking.

Drinking...

...is just a piece of cake for me.

In Turks,...

...we would eat and drink boldly.

We should drink like this.

The wine is good!

You're a good drinker.

However, the wine in our country is better than Turks.

It has different ranks. Look at the number on the wine jar.

The smaller the number, the shorter the period it was made.

The higher the number, the longer the period it was made.

We must drink the wine with the higher number.

Only then the wine will taste good.

This must be made for the longest period.

No.

Look at this. This was made 58 years ago.

You should give it a try.

It's good! This is it! -Hurry!

Let them try. -Please give it a try!

Come on! -Come on!

Come on.

Kings, please try the wine!

Come on! -Come on!

Come on! -Come on!

Come on!

Let's drink, Kings!

It's good wine!

Come on! -Kings, I have a question.

Look.

Get up! My little brother...

...has to listen to me since he was young,...

...right?

Of course!

However, you...

...always address each other as brother.

Who is the eldest brother among the four of you?

That's right! -Yes!

Who is the elder brother? Who is the younger brother?

Obviously it's me!

He's the elder brother? -Him?

Obviously it's me! I'm the only one with a golden wolf head!

I'm the king of the grassland!

Golden wolf head.

Your wolf head is smaller than a fist.

Don't you feel shy to mention it?

I can definitely find a better totem.

By then, I shall be the king of the grassland.

Yes, he's the eldest brother. -Yes, he is.

Do you deserve the golden wolf head?

It's not suitable for everyone! -What did you say?

Calm down. -Stay calm.

Calm down. -Go away!

Calm down! -Stop fighting!

Discuss it later. -Let's drink.

Discuss it later. -Don't fight.

Hurry. Go and serve them.

Let's go. -Let's drink!

We still have 2 jars of wine! -Yes! Let's drink!

Let's drink! -If you didn't stop me,...

...I would've killed him! -Two of you are brothers.

It's you? Someone!

King Ashina.

Can you recognise this?

How did you get Geshunu's sabre?

I was right. Your Highness may not expect that...

...the one who wanted to kill you was drinking and eating with you.

It's impossible. You were the one who did it.

I was the one who saved the Princess but those who...

...wanted to kill the Princess and you were your brothers.

They pawned many valuable things for this ambush.

No. What's your motive?

You must be sent by the Emperor of Tang.

You may not want to believe us...

...but you may ask your spy...

...if their army is going to attack us...

...or Your Highness?

There will be an auction in the Xin Hua Fang recently.

Please come to the auction. You'll know...

...the truth by then.

This...

...and this. -Brother Ye.

Grandma. -Brother Ye.

We've sent the invitation cards to the generals...

...and their wives.

They're very interested in it.

You're the elder. Even the Empress respects you.

They have to respect you.

How could you say that? Let's have a bite.

Thank you, grandma.

I may not able to cope with it without your help.

We're family. Don't say that.

We should do that. Let's have a bite.

Sure. Let's go! -Let's go!

Come.

Your Majesty, we should leave now.

We still don't know what Yun Ye is doing...

...and whether he can solve the problem or not.

I hope that he can win.
