Report!

Bad news! Update from the front!

Previsions Troops were captured

on their way to the encampment.

Heavy Armor Troops suffered heavy causalities in the ambush!

Breathe!

One, two, three!

Disinfect his wound.

You’re fine.

Go get water now!

I got you.

I need food!

Have some.

Supervisor Li.

You take it from here.

Go easy.

What’s up?

Regent Zhao gathered his troops

to attack the enemies at night

to get revenge for our losses.

When did they leave?

Over an hour ago.

Hang in there!

Where are you going?

Qing Tai is too treacherous and scheming

for Zhao Xiao to battle.

Mass our men to go with me.

And ask Mr. Jin

for backup.

You could get killed

before getting Zhao Xiao out.

I can’t sit on my hands

while our soldiers die for nothing!

I have to give it a shot

no matter what!

I’m not going to thank you for this.

Come!

Zhao Xiao,

this is it for us.

From now on,

you and I

- are even. - Li Qian!

Are you alright, Your Grace?

I can’t be at ease.

I have a bad feeling.

You’ve been holding on to that frame

and doing needlework all day.

You could use some rest and relaxation.

Don’t worry. Nothing will happen.

I hope so.

Hurry up!

Mu’an’s reinforcements are on the way.

Stab those who can still breathe.

Take away all their weapons.

This area is clear.

No survivors.

Father! Father! Father!

- Dongdong! - Father!

Father!

Be careful!

What happened?

Mr. Jin...

Mr. Jin arrived late.

What?

Xuanjia Battalion...

Xuanjia Battalion...

What about them?

What happened?

Say it!

They were all killed.

What?

All killed?

Li Qian is highly skilled. I’m sure he’s fine.

Master, Madam, Your Grace,

General Yun Lin asked to see you and said it’s urgent.

- Master... - Send him in.

Commandment Li.

Yun Lin, you serve in Xuanjia Battalion.

They weren’t killed.

Li Qian is still alive, right?

The enemies stabbed all our men again

just to be safe after the battle.

I survived by pure luck.

And I looked everywhere

without seeing

Supervisor Li or Regent Zhao’s body.

They didn’t return to the camp either.

No body? Then Qian must still be alive!

Yun Lin,

please take me to find him!

With more help,

we can turn the battlefield upside down

and get him back.

That’s why I’m here.

Did you hear that, Uncle Li?

Qian must be out there somewhere

waiting for our rescue.

Uncle Li,

give me as many people as you have.

I promise

that I will

bring Qian back intact.

Sure.

Father,

I know Li Qian.

He wouldn’t still be there waiting for death.

General Yun didn’t find him

because he had already left.

The most dangerous place

can be the safest.

On that note,

my guess is that he went to

Yunyang in Yongqing.

We should go there.

You’re indeed different, Your Grace.

Yunyang? Seriously?

I admire you for being shockingly calm,

but have you considered our feelings?

Your Grace, you’re probably too lofty

to care about Qian’s safety,

but we do!

He was last seen at the battlefield,

so we should start from there.

Yunyang is the capital of Yongqing.

Why on earth

would he go into enemy territory?

Li Qian is my husband.

I know him well and I trust him.

Our priority is to find him.

If tears could get him back,

I’d let them run like floods.

If you’re eager to find him as we are,

why are you drawing us to Yunyang?

That could be a total waste of time

holding us back from locating Qian.

He could be in danger as we speak...

Well,

Miaorong,

you and Yun Lin go find Li Qian

with my men.

Thank you, Uncle Li.

He’ll be back safe and sound.

I give you my word.

Let’s go.

Good day.

Your Grace,

Miaorong and the others will find him.

My son is always tough.

I don’t think

he’d die that easily.

Xiao...

died in Jinxi? How’s that possible?

It’s been confirmed.

Young Master misjudged the situation.

Xuanjia Battalion was wiped out.

Go to Jinxi

and get to the bottom of it!

I demand to see him

or his...

I...

I understand.

I, Zhao Zhong, will bring Young Master back!

Useless! A bunch of idiots!

With so many troops at the border,

none of them could win a battle!

Please be appeased, Your Majesty.

They served our state

at the cost of their lives.

Look,

Young Master Zhao and Commandery Prince

were both killed on duty.

They died

for us.

I...

shall reward them for their sacrifices.

Go

tell everything to Grand Empress Dowager.

That’ll be too much for Her Highness to handle.

Still, she needs to know.

After all,

Baoning needs support from her family now.

Yes.

Is that true?

Jin Haitao’s report is sitting on His Majesty’s table.

I wouldn’t dare to lie.

Fangling,

send our people to Bingzhou

to gather everything they can find.

I want Baoning back immediately!

Baoning.

Dongdong?

It’s late. Where were you?

I went to the camp to ask around.

But

there’s still no news about Qian.

Regent Zhao went missing, too.

I’m sure Qian is still alive.

Me too.

Are you leaving to find him?

I’ll be straight with you.

He wasn’t in the camp

or on the battlefield,

which only means one thing.

He must be in Yongqing,

so I’m going to Yunyang.

Alone?

If others knew,

they wouldn’t let me go.

There’s no time to lose.

I must go.

Hey,

take me with you.

Give that to me.

Let’s go.

Li’s Mansion

Sir, Madam, thanks for your hospitality,

but I’m here

with Grand Empress Dowager’s edict

and I really hope to see Her Grace.

Please

let Her Grace out now.

- Well... - She...

Yes?

She’s... still in bed.

Oh.

Eunuch Zhang.

Her Grace isn’t too well lately.

You can leave a message to me.

I’ll convey it to her.

Good to see you, Miss Qingke.

I’ll be honest with you then.

Her Highness is aware of the bad news

and she’s concerned about Her Grace

and wants her back in the palace.

I thank Her Highness on behalf of Her Grace,

but the situation isn’t that bad.

Commandery Prince is missing.

He might still be alive for all we know.

You know how much he means to Her Grace.

She’s not going anywhere until he comes back.

So she won’t leave with you.

Missing is so much better than dead.

Commandery Prince is blessed.

I’m certain that he’ll be fine.

Her Grace is too worried to eat properly

which makes her weak.

I’m afraid she can’t be here.

I trust you and tell you about her condition.

I understand.

Her Highness’s concern would grow

if she learned about that.

Don’t worry, Miss Qingke.

It’s bad enough that I can’t help with anything.

All I can do is to keep

unnecessary news from Her Highness

who’s feeling bad enough already.

Miss Qingke,

please take good care of Her Grace.

Sir, Madam,

I’m going back

to report to Her Highness

that Commandery Prince isn’t dead

and Her Grace is fine.

Thank you.

- Thank you, Eunuch Zhang. - Appreciated.

Let me show you out.

Please, Eunuch Zhang.

Thank you so much for everything.

This...

Just a little something. Please take it.

Thank you!

You did us a huge favor!

If Her Highness learned about the truth,

our family would be doomed!

Her Grace wouldn’t want Her Highness to worry,

so I covered for her.

I know.

Now...

I just hope

she’ll come back soon safe and sound.

- She will. - If she’s back alive,

everything will be fine.

If... if not...

I’ll go with her!

Please don’t say that!

She will come back!

I know she will.

Yunyang City

Finally, we’ve arrived!

Thank heaven!

Go.

Show me your pass.

We lost it when fleeing our home.

No pass, no entry!

Go away!

Are you alright?

He’s too sick!

Yes.

Can’t he let them in?

Let them in.

A little sympathy here!

My boss is severely ill.

Let us in,

or would you rather

see him die here?

Poor soul! Without the war,

we wouldn’t have fled our home and came here.

Right. Don’t you have a heart?

How could you do this?

Off you go.

Show him the pass.

You’re a genius.

Your fake illness got us in so easily.

You aren’t faking it?

Come here.

Have some water.

Look at you.

You’re well-cared for and fragile.

I shouldn’t have let you come.

He’s my husband. I must come.

What now?

I can’t afford to lose you

before finding Qian.

Let me take a break and I’ll be fine.

I’ll go pick up some food

and gather information.

Sure.

We can sit for a few more minutes,

Announcement

and go back on the road.

Baoning,

come here.

I’ve asked around.

They say most of the injured are in the Reserve Area.

Could Qian be there?

It’s possible.

But that place is huge and heavily guarded.

Not everyone can get in.

What to do?

Move! Step aside!

Go away!

What the...?

Let them be.

Army Recruiting

Let’s go.

Weapon Battalion is recruiting.

Those of you ready to serve the state are welcome.

Read it. What’s it about?

They’re recruiting.

I have an idea.

Recruiting soldiers?

What to do?

No sign of him on the battlefield

or in the villages along the way.

Qian,

did you really go to Yunyang?

Miss Gao,

I’ve started to think Her Grace is right.

Stand straight!

As members of the Weapon Battalion,

you must be extremely careful!

One mistake

and the weapon you made is ruined,

the rest of us will have to suffer, too,

understand?

Commander, it’s him!

What are you doing?

Who are you to lecture new members?

Look what crap you made!

Your crossbow is terrible!

The arrow aimed at the enemy

hit our own man.

And here you are having them

mass-produce such trash

for us to deliver.

Do you want all of us

to be killed?

My...

My bow was fine.

It was them.

They botched them up.

Ask them about it!

This is the prototype you made.

I’m going to stand there

and see if you can shoot me with it.

They have such a craftsman here, too.

I need to win his trust

to be on the inside.

The high-ups kept rushing us.

This is the best I could do.

You’re useless

and overconfident!

I could’ve asked for an extension,

but you gave them your word without thinking.

We’re supposed to deliver

this batch of crossbows in three days.

Now tell me,

if we turn in this batch of bows,

how am I going to explain myself?

Just say

the workers and handymen made a mistake.

Kill them to make things go away.

We’ve got tons of new blood anyway.

Is that your plan all along

that let others die for your mistake?

Bastard!

Sorry.

I didn’t know it’d be so off.

I... I didn’t mean to shoot you.

That’s fine.

A quick death would be too easy on him.

I feel sorry

for the rest of my people

that they’ll have to die for an idiot.

How could I gain his trust

without making weapons for the enemies?

Can I have a try here?

But I want something in return.

If it works,

I want to be your apprentice.

No problem.

Sub by WeTV & Ripped by skysoultan ♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔

That newbie

bit off more than he could chew, too.

He took the job

without knowing his limits.

How long have you been with me?

Three years.

Those three years

didn’t make you step forward

when the crossbow needed to be fixed.

At least, he has the courage to try.

That’s way above your level already.

As for the result,

it’s up to heaven.

If you took me in as your apprentice,

I’d learn a lot

and be able to help you now.

Rujia,

certain things can’t be forced.

I would’ve done so long ago

if you had such talent.

What have you found?

The low accuracy

is mostly because of the scope,

but the deviation is too big.

Adjusting the scope alone

is of little use.

I suggest we deepen the flight groove,

fit the bow into it,

aim with the adjusted scope

and keep the bow tip fixed.

That way, the accuracy will be about right.

I see.

Deepen the flight groove and keep the tip fixed.

The bows will still look almost the same

only with great accuracy.

Good.

We’ll be able to

deliver the crossbows on time.

The deepened flight groove improves the accuracy

but increases the resistance and shortens the range.

They still can’t harm our people.

Son,

what’s your name?

Call me Aning.

Would you like

to be my apprentice?

That’d be my honor, Master.

Have a look!

They’re hot!

Freshly baked!

Take a look!

Here you are.

Thank you.

Come.

Take a seat.

How did it go?

Did you find Qian’s trace?

As a new face in the Weapon Battalion,

I couldn’t snoop around.

But if Qian is really in the city,

the Reserve Area is his best hideout.

We’ll find him sooner or later.

Can’t I go with you?

I can’t

leave you there alone

with a bunch of men.

You better not.

With you outside,

if anything happens on the inside,

we can work together from both sides.

Be very careful.

I will.

Right now, I’m the apprentice

of the Commander of the Weapon Battalion.

I’ll see what I can do.

Alright.

Rujia,

you’re such a loser

that you don’t get to

call Commander Siqin “Master”

after being his lackey for three years.

But look at him.

He succeeded right after he came

and gained access

to Commander Siqin’s arsenal.

That’s true.

Now,

he’s exploiting his status

to hang around

and lay back all day.

As envious as you are,

he doesn’t even talk to us

as if

we can bite or something.

I know, right?

If he thinks he’s above us,

we should send him a message.

Li Chian, Li Chian,

get up and work!

Li Chian!

Wake up! Back to work!

Leave me alone!

Stand up.

Who’s Li Qian?

- Mr. Aning. - Mr. Aning.

I... I’m Li Chian.

C-H-I-A-N.

I’m so sorry, Mr. Aning.

I stayed up too late last night,

- Fine. Whatever. - so I...

Please spare me!

Get up.

That was close!

Why didn’t you wake me up?

I tried,

but you ignored me.

But...

Zhao, don’t slack off.

Mr. Aning is here for inspection.

Don’t get caught.

Mr. Aning?

You probably don’t know.

He’s short but talented

and Commander Siqin’s new apprentice

and new favorite.

I doubt a big shot man like him

would pay attention to us handymen.

Forget it.

Let him be. Let’s go back to work.

Come on. Let’s go.

He’s rude.

Are you sure?

I give you my word.

Trust me, a small bite

will make him cry

and storm out, naked.

Good. If it works,

your help won’t be forgotten.

No big deal.

No. This isn’t the right time or place

to play the hero.

Go away! Go away!

Stay away from me!

Bao... Baoning?

Baoning!

What are you doing here?

Zhao Xiao!

Is that a venomous snake?

No.

It’s a sand snake.

Oh.

So what brings you here?

To look for Li Qian...

and you.

If you’re here,

so is he, right?

Why is he

always between you and me?

Can’t it just be the two of us?

Zhao Xiao.

Yes?

I... I...

I’m not sure.

There wasn’t his body out there.

He didn’t return to Bingzhou either.

He was there to save you.

Yun Lin said you two fought to the end together.

You made it out alive and where is he?

Baoning,

calm down.

He was still alive

when I came out of the coma.

Later,

we got separated.

Which means...

he is still alive, right?

If so, I will find him!

Zhao Xiao, I need your help.

Anything you need.

Thank you.

See you next time.

Have a nice day.

Roast suckling pigs! Hot and juicy!

Sir,

how much is it?

Would you like some, Miss?

Yes.

- Do you want more meat - Stop.

or meat with bones?

More meat.

I see. The front leg is perfect.

Hold on. It’s still undercooked.

I’ll give you a nice cut once it’s done.

Give me a minute.

Hi,

An!

What a nice surprise!

What are you doing here?

I replenished my stock from Wuyan

and was about to rest for a few days

before selling it to Mu’an.

And you? Why are you here?

Truth be told,

I’m looking for a missing person.

You’re in my place.

I’ll help you

find whoever that is.

Thanks. I’ll be counting on you then.

Sure.

- Let’s go. - Let’s go.

Rest after Victory Salak! Check it out!

You won’t see it anywhere else.

- All done! - Wow!

- Let’s go. - Look!

How is it polished?

It looks perfect, isn’t it?

Here you are.

Wow!

Good job! Impressive!

Baoning, he threw the snake in!

I’ll teach him a lesson.

Let him go.

Well done!

We’re in their territory.

Given who we are now,

better stay away from trouble.

We have a bigger fish to fry.

Baoning,

you’d never suck it up before.

Be that as it may,

- my priority is to find Li Qian. - Here you are.

That man again! You only care about him.

What’s so good about him anyway?

He’s my husband

and the best in my eyes.

Zhao Xiao,

you can stay out of this.

I wouldn’t blame you.

And you could blow your cover anytime.

I’ll find him myself.

Baoning, it’s not that I refuse to help,

but you’ve been looking almost all day

in the sun without having any water.

I’m worried about you.

How about we find a place to sit

and have something to eat first?

Sure.

You must be thirsty.

Here you are.

This one is great.

Baoning.

Where could Li Qian be?

I... I have no clue.

Alright. Let’s keep looking.

Wait!

Don’t move!

Baoning,

how I wish

time would stop at this moment

when there’s just you and me.

Why do I smell medicine?

Are you injured?

I used herbs

for that snake bite, remember?

The scent isn’t from raw herbs

but more like some decoction.

I’m sure it’s the herb.

I know what I used.

My memory can’t be wrong.

Let’s keep looking for Li Qian.

Fine.

Dongzhi, no luck after looking twice in the city.

Let’s go out and check.

I picked

a relatively docile horse for you,

but this breed

can’t be fully tamed.

No worries, though. I’m here.

You’re in good hands.

Give me your hand.

I’ll help you mount it.

Does he think I can’t ride?

You’re safe. Don’t worry.

I got the reins.

Sit still and nothing will happen.

Noted.

What’s wrong?

What’s going on?

You’ll be fine, Dongzhi.

It’s alright.

You’ve got skills.

I’m here to protect you.

This isn’t a good idea.

Let me down.

I’m done riding it.

Sure.

Come.

You fooled me!

Fine. Just wait!

We’ve circled outside the city

without finding any trace,

but still, thank you, Qing An.

I’m feeling less stressed.

I should thank you, too.

Your pure joy

has made my day, too.

An, let’s continue.

Let’s go back.

There you are!

Is this a dream?

I thought I’d never see you again.

He’s still alive.

He’s too young to die here.

This area is clear.

No survivors.

Li Qian!

Stop!

Which battalion are you in?

I’m asking you! Are you dumb?

Say it! Who’s your commander?

Or you’ll be treated as spies!

They’re members of the Weapon Battalion.

The cart for the injured is here. Stop wandering!

Come with me.

Let’s go back!

Go back!

Yunyang City

- Commander. - Commander.

Forging iron, making a fire, drawing, building,

which one can you do?

None of it, I’m afraid.

Run errands then. Stay in there for now.

Li Qian,

I’ve done my best to save you.

Whether you’ll survive or not

is up to your fate.

Baoning,

you’re always pampered.

I can’t imagine how much you suffered

coming all the way here.

Promise me

that whatever happens in the future,

just stay at home and wait for me.

It won’t happen again.

You, too, promise me

that you won’t get wounded like this again.

You’re burning up.

Zhao Xiao!

It’s one thing that you hid him from me.

But he’s heavily wounded.

Why didn’t you have him treated?

Did you want him dead?

If I did,

I wouldn’t have carried him out of those corpses.

You made the wrong decision

that got him in this bed.

You’re right.

It’s all my fault.

I can’t do anything right.

Are you alright?

Baoning,

it’s hard to get proper treatment here.

We were living on Zhao Xiao’s wage

as a handyman to barely support ourselves.

Don’t blame him.

I’ll cure you

no matter what it takes.

Seeing you here,

I’m more than half cured already.

Take it slow.

Get some rest after breakfast.

I’ll go to see my master

and come back at noon.

I’m done.

Already?

Are you alright? Is it the wound again?

I...

I...

What is it?

Zhao Xiao,

uh...

starting today, you don’t need to work.

I’ll ask for leave for you.

In the meantime, please take good care of him.

What are you doing?

Taking care of him as you asked.

I patted his wound by accident.

You did that on purpose, didn’t you?

Enough.

Just go. I’ll look after him.

What now?

You... Out! Now!

How do you feel?

Baoning...

Do you want more food?

Yes.

Who is it?

Thief! Catch the thief!

Catch the thief!

- What’s going on? - He took my herbs!

- Catch him! Go! - My herbs!

Young Master!

Come!

Go!

Young Master.

The enemies have been drawn away.

Young Master,

I’m so glad you’re fine!

Marquis asked us to look for you.

The city is heavily guarded.

Our men can only wait outside.

When Yongqing’s troops returned,

the security was loose,

but now, it’s severely tightened.

I need to get Commandery Princess Jia’nan out, too,

so you must get the pass.

What’s she doing here?

Relax.

I can handle this.

Common herbs

are ineffective.

Your wound is aggravated.

It must stop.

Where are you going?

To get more herbs.

Whatever it takes,

I’ll get them for you.

Baoning, look what I brought back.

What are they?

Herbs?

They’re the finest.

Where did you get them?

That you don’t need to know.

I only hope you can forgive me

for withholding Li Qian’s whereabouts.

Young Master!

You two went way back

and chose to live and die together.

He saved you and you didn’t abandon him.

Thank you for all these herbs.

About...

what I said earlier, I didn’t mean it.

Don’t take it to heart.

I know.

Alright. I’m...

going to ask the physician about these herbs.

You stay with him. I’ll go.
