A Lifetime Love

Ep 20

You were looking for me?

I heard there was some noise in the yard.

I was worried about you, so I came to see you.

I am fine.

I just woke hope and felt a little melancholy

so took a walk.

I am a little weary now, I wish to sleep.

Go and rest up early too.

Alright.

Lord Chi Yun,

How is the situation?

Lord Chi Yun,

you are the great hero of Ruo Jiang,

there is no-one in Ruo Jiang who does not know you.

Of course many will answer your call,

the young people in the tribe,

when they heard they can go into battle under your command,

they were very excited.

Even those who are of some age, could not sit by.

Our tribesmen trust in me,

so I cannot disappoint them.

Mage King, help me keep a record so that

there is at least one healthy male in each family.

We cannot leave anyone our females, elderly

without support just for my army.

Lord Chi Yun, do not worry,

I will arrange everything.

Lord Chi Yun,

is there anything you are unsatisfied with?

No. Nothing.

9th brother.

9th Brother.

4th Brother.

You are back?

Something so bad has happened,

I cannot leave Mother without anyone to care for her.

3rd Brother died in battle, he is a true hero.

Only Mother cannot accept it for now.

Indeed.

It was such a big blow.

She should rest more often.

How about this, in a while I will send someone

to deliver some sedating herbal medicine to her.

They are all herbs

I have gathered over the years.

I hope Mother consort can take care of her body.

Thank you 4th brother.

It is what I should do.

9th brother,

thinking to back then,

when we were still children,

we would be so happy playing together.

Only...

we had little contact these years

so we drifted further and further.

I remember,

when we were little, you and Ah-Mo were closest.

You helped her capture sparrows

and she would help you sew a purse.

Yes.

It's a shame I am often at the border,

so I couldn't even make it to Ah-Mo's wedding.

Now, us nine siblings

some are buried in the battlefield,

some are leading troops from afar,

and I would spend my days in Mt Xuan Yang,

having nothing to do.

4th brother, you are too modest.

Eldest Brother and 4th Brother are guarding Mt Xuan Yang

lessening Father's burden.

And your burden is the greatest amongst us all.

No,

it is Eldest Brother and you who work the hardest.

4th brother, I am busy,

why don't we meet another day?

Alright.

I will take my leave.

This is the strongest strategy you propose?

Yes, Father.

Preposterous!

Recruiting from the poor,
and change the way the court promotes officials,

how could you have such foolish thoughts?

Father, I just received news,

the new Xuan Mu King Hao Xu

has already sent someone to recruit talented people,

regardless of social status and background.

He has already many people under his command.

I believe this is a good way to increase our strength

and promote our talent.

If this continues, Xuan Mu will become stronger.

And our army,

will be controlled by those aristocratic families.

They will lack training and a willpower to fight

and will become weaker and weaker.

Absurd! You are foolish beyond redemption!

The Ling Yun royal tribe and aristocrats,

have contributed their sweat and blood
for thousands of years for Ling Yun.

They are the support of the Ling Yun tribe

harming their interest,

is like digging your own grave.

Father, their ancestors

have indeed contributed to Ling Yun a lot.

But right now, most of them

are the pests of Ling Yun.

They are selfish and conceited,

consolidate land, steal from the people,

we must build a new force of power

to level their strength.

Silence!

You can say this here

but do not bring them from today onwards.

Otherwise, return to the Arctic lands in the north.

Shenglun, when you are back,

think of a better way.

Do not think about these dishonest practices again.

Hao Xu.

Sister.

Recently Chi Yun

has been using your name

to recruit people from poor backgrounds.

Do you know about this?

Sister, I understand you are worried about me,

only I had sworn to Father before

that I will trust Chi Yun completely.

I know

you want to build a force of your own

but no matter what,

it is not good if there is a lot of criticism.

Chi Yun has already recruited soldiers and brought horses
for me in Xuan Mu and Ruo Jiang.

He's gathered a large number of talented men already.

They criticize it

because Chi Yun and my plan

is starting to work step by step.

So they are afraid.

No matter what,

you must protect yourself well.

They are not foolish and idle people.

I fear they will do something extreme.

I have strengthened our defence.

and I have asked Chi Yun to pick a few guards for me.

Sister, do not worry.

You have worked hard recently.

It is alright. It is not too exhausting.

Oh yes, how is Xuan Mu's situation recently?

There is a lot of change in Xuan Mu.

Hao Xu used the time when Tong Zheng attacked Tong Er Pass,

to build his own army.

At first there was only thirty odd people

all wandering nomads and vagrants.

Hao Xu ordered for someone to

put up posters across the entire Xuan Mu to recruit men

regardless of class or background.

So in just a few months there has been thousands of people.

Tong Zheng could not sit by anymore in Tong Er pass.

But Hao Xu ordered him to guard the pass,

on the surface it was to reward him, to uphold his meritorious service.

In truth, it was to stop him from returning and stopping him.

Tong Zheng cannot say anything now.

If that is the case,

then is he not

sending him to the border?

That is such a low handed method.

It cannot be Hao Xu who thought of that.

I fear it must be Chi Yun who helped him thought of it.

Chi Yun is not someone to be underestimated.

Yes.

Just now at the hall,

I have been scolded by my Father.

Why?

It is a little complicated it is a long story.

It is alright. You can slowly tell me.

Ling Yun as an ancient royal tribe,

for thousands of years have strict rules

to protect the interests of the tribe.

These rules dictate that people of the same class cannot marry.

In this way,

we are quite similar to the Xuan Mu tribe.

When the late King of Xuan Mu wished to marry a Queen of a low class,

it was extremely difficult.

In the end he had to put her in the Chi Shui family register

for them to marry.

Because the King of Xuan Mu suffered from this,

so when he was on the throne,

he tried to rid the class system.

But it is a thousand year tradition,

to change it,

it will definitely be a bloody path.

The King of Xuan Mu was kind and honest

so could not be so merciless.

So no matter how hard he worked,

there only seemed to be a change on the surface

but there was no change.

But Hao Xu is completely different.

Although Hao Xu has a gentle temperament,

but he has Chi Yun behind him who will contrive schemes for him.

It is rumored the two of them are very close.

Although Chi Yun is not part of the Xuan Mu tribe.

but Hao Xu relies on Chi Yun on everything.

Chi Yun is the mastermind behind Hao Xu,

if Xuan Mu is in his and Hao Xu's hands,

then it will definitely turn over a new leaf.

Returning to Ruo Jiang this time,

I have gathered to 10,000 men from Ruo Jiang

they are all talented soldiers.

As long as you train them,

then their strength will be no less than the Royal army.

Chi Yun, this time you have worked hard. Thank you.

We are brothers, thank you is not necessary.

On Xuna Mu's side,

you have put your greatest effort
on recruiting people from poor backgrounds.

But there is a lot of criticism at court.

There will definitely be some pressure.

But it is a price we must

pay for it.

I believe it is definitely worth it.

What is this?

This is the new list of people who

I have carefully selected

from the new recruits

that I believe can

become generals or leaders.

You say they are all

people who can become generals?

That's right.

But there are over a thousand names here.

Over a thousand?

I did not believe it at first,

but the wealth of the country

of Xuan Mu is the leader across Da Huang.

Under this pedantic system,

there are still many talents

who do not have a chance to display it.

In the future you can inspect it yourself

and you will know the people I selected

if they care truly capable.

Chi Yun, of course I believe you.

With these people as the skeleton for our army,

we can recruit some normal men

and then we will have an army over several tens of thousands.

That is right.

It seems we took the right step this time.

Chi Yun, I wish to thank you on Hao Xu's behalf.

This is the promise I made to the late Xuan Mu king.

It is what I should do.

Xuan Yang is completely different from you.

I now find that in Ling Ying

when the women talk about the men,

they do not talk about their character or talent,

but which class they are in.

It is as if the men are only worth marrying if they

born to a family of high social status.

Although they are the pointless chatter of young unmarried women,

but actually it reflects many serious problems in society.

Of course, in Xuan Yang we are also affected by a

great royal tribe like yours.

But my father once said,

whether we are peasants or royalty,

we are all gifts from Heaven and therefore equal.

There is no difference between us.

Whether a person is born to a normal family or

the royal family,

his class is

determined by his actions and decisions.

So, in Xuan Yang

regardless whether you are aristocracy

or from a poor family,

as long as you are talented,

then you will be respected.

Even until now,

the Ling Yun tribe is unaware of it's problems.

They still deceive themselves in the lie that they are of an ancient tribe,

even Father is unaware of it.

Xuan Mu is currently undergoing immense change,

yet they only see the struggle between Chi Yun

and Tong Zheng as a normal power struggle.

Today at court,

I mentioned that Chi Yun and Tong Zheng's fight

is a fight between 2 classes,

and tried to propose a change

but Father was extremely displeased.

He said social class is the backbone of our tribe,

said I was absurd for mentioning it.

So the rumors that

Ling Yun is unwilling to be a small tribe

but wishes to be like Xuan Yang and Xuan Mu

to own their own land,

and even compete for Da Huang is true?

Perhaps.

I am unsure what Father is thinking.

You are quite honest.

What would change if I was not?

Besides, with Ling Yun's current circumstance,

how easy could it be for us to have land to call our own?

Even if Xuan Yang

is willing to turn a blind eye to it,

but Xuan Mu will definitely not allow a third

powerful tribe to compete in this.

Take your time.

There are some thing you cannot rush.

I hope Father will slowly understand.

If the Ling Yun tribe continues down this path,

never mind having land to call their own,

perhaps we cannot

even protect our own tribe.

Sometimes I envy Chi Yun a little.

He does not have to care about anything.
And doe whatever he wishes.

Look at the army of Ruo Jiang,

there were only a hundred men before,

but under Chi Yun's leadership,

there are over 10,000 men now.

Xuan Yang

Mother, I am back.

Ji Yi, you are finally back.

Mother, I returned late.

It is good you are back.

It is good you are back.

Unlike your elder brother,

who will never be able to return.

Mother, when I just returned

I went to see Father in Shang Yuan Hall.

He rewarded us with many things,

and even gave 3rd brother a title.

I even saw Eldest brother.

Absurd!

You only have one elder brother, Xuan Yang Hui!

The others are all your enemy!

If you wish to make your enemies your brothers,

then leave!

I don't have a son like you!

Your elder brother died because of Yu Cheng!

Your Father clearly knew that

but he protected them.

Yu Cheng clearly did this to avenge Chang Zhou!

It must be them!

Mother! Why would Father protect them?

Brother is also his biological son!

My Hui'er's body was not even cold in his grave

yet that Xuan Yang Zhi Ruo

is about to get married!

If it is not revenge,

then what is it?

Mother, Eldest and 4th brother will not do that.

I do not allow you to say that!

Let me tell you,

I will definitely avenge my Hui'er!

I must let that woman in Chao Yun Hall have a taste

of what it feels to lose a son!

Mother!

4th brother's wedding is soon.

I wonder what my future sister-in-law likes.

Then you should ask your 4th brother.

With my 4th brother's temperament

if you ask him 10 questions, he will answer half of one.

I pestered him the entire day

yet I only found out that

she is from the Zhuo Shan family.

A tribe in Ruo Jiang, the Se He tribe.

It is a place where the people is simple and fierce.

They only respect courageous warriors.

I fear your sister-in-law

is not only from Se He Tribe's Zhuo Shan family

but also Se He's next female tribe leader.

What?

My 4th brother wishes to marry

Se He's tribe's female tribe leader?

I thought 4th brother would like

a girl as gentle as water.

I would not expect

that he would like a female warrior.

Then what do you plan to give this female warrior?

All warriors of the past likes famous weapons,

Everyone knows Chi Yun is skilled at making weapons,

but they do not know that the swords Ling Yun Sheng Lun makes,

they are unrivaled too.

Only I do not know if he is willing to help me.

I heard he had never made a weapon for anyone.

It is not that he is not willing.

only...

Only what?

It is nothing but

I did not give you anything for your wine recipe

so I will use it to repay that gift.

But in such a short time,

I can only make a dagger.

Really?

Thank you. Thank you.

You and your brother are very alike.

You both wish to

give the world's greatest gift to the other.

Of course.

4th brother is the greatest brother in the world.

What about Yu Cheng?

Eldest brother is like Father

he will think of the bigger picture.

What? Drinking so much as soon as you are back?

Why are you here?

Are you yearning for Ah-Mo?

What has it got to do with you if I year for her or not?

The matter between you has nothing to do with me.

I only want to know,

you put so much effort to help Hao Xu,

do you ask for anything?

Is it because of Ah-Mo?

I cannot hide anything from you.

I admit it. I do.

You really wish to lead some men and snatch Ah-Mo back?

No.

I want to prove to her

that I am a lot stronger than that Sheng Lun.

I want her to regret it.

Regret that she did not come to me.

Then have you thought about Hao Xu?

He trusts you so much,

are you really for Ah-Mo going

to start another war between the two tribes?

Is that what you think of me?

If I want to begin a war between the two tribes,

then we can pick up our weapons now

take some men and attack Ling Yun immediately.

But I did not do that.

It is because of Hao Xu.

And the old man.

Do not worry,

I will choose a time

that will benefit Xuan Mu the most.

Or make Ling Yun attack us first.

I will not put you or Hao Xu in a difficult place.

I admit I was too sensitive.

How are things between you and that Ling Yun general?

Why did you suddenly ask?

You are not someone who would care about that.

You asked me first.

The obstacle between us,

although are not as great as the ones between you and Ah-Mo,

but if we wish to be together,

it is not an easy matter.

Drink.

No.

I do not have the right to have such a habit.

There are many affairs at court I must handle.

You drink.

I will not see you off.

Every year in April,

when the mountains are filled with peach blossoms,

is the Skipping flower festival of the Ruo Jiang Tribe.

Everyone will sing love songs under the tree to thier lovers,

Beginning from next year, every April

I will wait for you under the peach blossom tree in Bu Gui valley

we will not leave until we meet.

If you wear the robes I make every year,

I will see you every year.

If I wear them for a lifetime,

will you see me for a lifetime?

If you wear them, I will come.

That day, I gave this robe to Chi Yun,

and promised him my entire life,

but he

never understood what I really meant.

Ah-Mo....

Ah-Mo... Ah-Mo....

Jin Shi, I really miss you.

Are you well in Ling Yun?

I really wish I could go and find you,

but there are too many affairs to handle in Xuan Mu.

I really cannot leave.

Are you well?

Di Yin is not troubling you is he?

I am so afraid.

I am afraid the two tribes will go into battle.

Then I do not know how to face you.

Do you understand me?

What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

Recently, I have taught the women how to care for the silkworms,

they learned very quickly.

So I wish to ask Father and Mother

to allow me to teach the women in the far north how to care for silkworms.

That way,

the entire Ling Yun can soon grasp

this technique soon.

It is a good thing,

Father and Mother will definitely agree.

Only it is very far,

if I wish to teach them this technique,

I fear I will be unable to return to the 5 Holy mountains.

How hard can that be?

I will go with you to speak to Father about it.

He will definitely agree.

Thank you.

Greetings Father, Mother.

Rise.

Ruo'er.

What have you brought me today?

A little thing.

I hope you will like it Father.

It is strangely refreshing,

what is it?

This is dew from the flowers in Ruo'er's garden.

She collected every drop herself.

It really is a rare item.

If you like it,

then it is the greatest fortune of this dew.

I have a gift for Mother too.

This silk is spun from the first silk my worms

have produced since coming to Ling Yun.

I hope you will like it.

I have long heard Liao Ruo's handiwork is exquisite.

I think you must have gained it from your mother.

This cloak is light and airy,

and it has a deep meaning to it too.

You really gave me something that touches my heart.

It is good you like it Mother.

I have something

I would like to ask you.

Today I

wish to visit the most Northern village in Ling Yun,

to teach the women there how to care for silkworms,

it will be far so I may have to stay for a night.

Ling Yun sees etiquette with importance,

so I wish to ask for father and mother's permission.

Shenglun, you are so fortunate,

to be able to marry such a virtuous wife,

Recently, the people have all praised

that Ruo'er is general and patient.

And has never held back any of her knowledge.

Even I have heard of it.

So you must have put so much thought into it.

It is something to be pleased about,

so why would I not allow it?

Ruo'er will thank Father on behalf of the people.

Ah-Mo.

Ah-Mo.

Why are you here?

I saw that you were drunk last night,

and couldn't wake you up,

it is cold outside, so I carried you in.

Thank you.

I will go and wash my face.

Hurry and get some rest.

What brings you here?

I received your news last night

and couldn't rest.

So I hurried over to find you.

I had no hope that you would come.

Do not worry.

Prince Sheng Lun told me,

that he is thinking of a plan and canceled my wedding.

And then I can marry you.

Really?

That is great!

Then no-one will criticize you.

Jin Shi I really wish to marry you

but with Xuan Mu as it is now,

I really cannot be at ease.

Can you wait for me for a little longer?

I will wait for you

until you resolve everything.

And until Xuan Mu settles down.

By then,

whether we go into seclusion,

or travel far away,

as long as I can be with you,

then I am willing to do anything.

I promise you,

when Xuan Mu's situation stabilizes,

as long as you do not disappoint me,

I am willing to follow you to the end of the world.

I did not think Father and Mother

would agree to quickly.

I thought to them,

traveling is something that is tightly regulated.

How are we so harsh?

Besides you are doing it for Ling Yun.

And the people are praising Father for it.

Father knew that long ago.

Alright

before I thought they were archaic.

Your Highness, a secret report.

Go. I will go back and pack my things.

What is it?

It is a secret report about Yuan Han.

Father,

I believe

that the matter regarding Yuan Han's affair with another man,
is unacceptable.

Yuan Han and Jin Shi were engaged.

and if she is unfaithful before the marriage, it is unfair to Jin Shi.

So I believe

that we should call off her engagement with Jin Shi.

It is a big matter, how can we just call it off?

We do not know the truth yet,

it is unreasonable to call off the wedding.

Indeed, Father,

how can we call off a wedding just like that?

Then how can we prove it?

Vulgar matters like this,

can we talk about them in court?

Han Yuan was unfaithful before the marriage,
yet Jin Shi is forced to marry her,

Jin Shi is Ling Yun's general,

how can he face others

and what about Ling Yun's decorum?

You!

Enough!

A girl like that,

how can she be a match

to General Jin Shi who oversees the Xi He tribe?

We should call off the engagement.

Di Yin, regarding serious matters like this,

I hope you can learn from your brother.

It was my mistake.
