[Jun Jiu Ling]

[Episode 37]

What's the status of the task I handed over to you?

Regarding the splitting up of De Shengchang, Jun Jiuling has returned to Zezhou.

I have ordered Jin Shiba to go there.

Fang family has been defeated. Zhu family has been toppled.

This is a good opportunity.

Don't miss it again.

Understood.

Absolutely right.

The other places need to be monitored tightly.

Understood.

Greetings, Qing Hebo.

Since General Wei is here, tell him to go to Yongijing Army.

- Lead your subordinates to Jiaohe. - Understood.

Sir, we have been deploying our soldiers frequently.

I think if we place our troops on defence on such a large scale,

we may provide Northern Qi with the opportunity.

General Wei, are you implying that his defence is not comparable to Duke Cheng's arrangement?

This is not what I meant.

Are you implying

your reluctance to be deployed?

It's not that I'm reluctant to be deployed.

It's just that your deployment doesn't seems to be for defense. It's more for

disarming and dividing the power of the army.

This...

Sir, this is a taboo for the direct line of descendants of Duke Cheng.

I can understand that you are suppressing me

but the people in Northern Qi are eyeing us covetously. We must not panic.

Arrest him.

Sir!

General Wei, do you know

why Duke Cheng escaped from the capital?

Because he knows that the northern land is his kingdom.

Just because you are here,

he's convinced that he can definitely seek shelter here.

No. We are officials and soldiers of Tianyou.

If Duke Cheng is guilty, we will never protect each other.

Many officials and soldiers in the north were once under Duke Cheng.

Enough. Let's go.

- Sir. - Let's go now.

- Sir. - Let's go.

- Let's go. - Sir.

Looks like as long as Zhu Zan doesn't fall into our net,

there won't be any peace in the north.

Who else doesn't want to obey military orders?

His Majesty has declared to the kingdom that

we are convicted of treason.

Whoever sees us, can behead us in public.

In the future, every province

and city will be difficult for us to pass through.

No matter how difficult it was, we were fearless.

As long as the family is together, we could cross any hurdles.

However, this time, we implicated Miss Jun.

That's right.

We should have resolved their marriage agreement earlier.

We dragged her into this.

Father, Mother, don't blame yourselves.

Who can foresee the future?

Besides, she's a country princess

and a miracle physician. She will avert disaster, right?

I hope so.

Your Majesty, Qing Hebo replaced his defense without authority.

Crown Prince Yu Chihai of Northern Qi led his army to conduct a sudden assault and seized the opportunity.

Qing Hebo has fallen under the seige of Northern Qi's army. We lost news about him.

Half of the previously arranged reinforcements

can't be accounted for.

What's happening?

How can this happen?

I don't want to know why they went back against their words.

I also don't want to know who committed the mistake.

I only want to know if they can be stopped.

The Northern Army divided their Northern Qi rebel troops into three routes.

In addition, the commander-in-chiefs for Shandong and Shanzi rushed to help.

The two armies are in Hebei. We must totally wipe them out.

That's to say, we still didn't stop them.

A bunch of useless creatures!

Your Majesty, don't be angry.

Sir, go in and take a break.

- How long has it been? - Six days.

Based on the pre-deployment, the reinforcement should have been here earlier.

What do you mean? Speak now.

Sir, we just received news that

our three-routes troops absconded.

What?

These bunch of scoundrels. How many absconded?

Ten thousands from East route, twenty thousands from West route,

South route...twenty thousands from South route too.

- A total of 100,000 reinforcment from those three routes and we are down by half. How to fight? - That's right.

When did those officials and soldiers in the north turn into such cowards?

They are not cowards.

Even if they wanted to abscond, it can't be that many at once.

I fear they followed another military order.

- Duke Cheng? - That's right.

The only one who can make them so bold is Duke Cheng.

Yes, it's Duke Cheng.

Zhu Zan,

are you trying to kill us?

Duke Cheng, excluding the 30,000 soldiers and horses who are rushing to the capital,

there are still 20,000 waiting for your instructions

to rob the rations of Northern Qi's army. We will meet up tonight.

Excellent. Afte we have assembled,

rescue QingHebo immediately

Understood.

It hasn't been easy for him to stand firm and defend for a long time.

Will he convict you of privately deploying the troops?

So be it. I did the same too.

Duke Cheng, you did this

because Qing Hebo deployed his troops without authorization to create disaster.

Without your deployment, we would have lost the state war earlier.

But is he willing to learn from this lesson?

Father, we can give them a taste of their own medicine.

Zan'er, explain.

Northern Qi is doing their best to raise the power of their country.

They will definitely want to smash our line of defense.

There must be some internal void in their defense troops that are not that tight.

I want to penetrate into the enemy's territory to assassinate the emperor of Northern Qi

to solve my stranded situation.

No. It's too risky for you to go alone.

Father, we can't hesitate anymore.

This is our only strategy now.

Duke Cheng, I'm willing to go with Heir Apparent.

Duke Cheng, Madam, we will protect Second Older Brother and bring him home safely.

We escaped death under the hands of His Majesty. Would we still fear that we won't succeed with the emperor of Northern Qi?

Father, I joined you in the army since childhood.

I know what I should do and shouldn't do. I won't be reckless.

Zan'er.

Alright, but you must come back safe and sound.

Zan'er,

promise me. Regardless if you succeed or not,

you must come home safe and sound.

Alright. Don't worry.

Father, Mother. I'm not filial for going ahead first.

Father, Mother. Take care.

Son.

Father, I'm leaving.

You must come back safe and sound.

Don't worry.

Zan'er fought with me since childhood. I believe he will come back safe and sound.

If he succeeds in the assassination,

I will rush back to the capital and you will remain in the north.

If it's the will of heaven,

we will meet again in the north.

For decades, we have been

supporting each other and united as one.

If you are really afraid that I will worry,

you and Zan'er must survive.

I promise you.

Zhu Zan, are you doing well in the north?

Jiuling, are you doing well in the capiital?

I know it's extremely dangerous for me to go and I may not be able to return. But with you here,

I will hang in there and come back to see you.

Wait for me, Jiuling. Wait for me.

Sir, from my observation, the encirclement in the West is weak. Why don't I wait

to escort you out from the seige? Where's there life, there's hope.

I'm willing to remain here to resist the enemies, fight through the siege for you and take revenge.

Absurd. When have I ever escaped when the enemies are in front of me?

Sir, you are not fleeing from the battle. It's not worth for you to die this way.

That's right. It's not worth it.

Sir, think carefully again before taking actions.

- Sir, leave now... - Enough.

It's important to fight a defensive battle without a break.

If we break through the siege and this leaks out,

my army will immediately be defeated and scattered. Everyone will abscond.

When that time comes,

the army of Northern Qi will advance here without stopping and head straight to the capital.

Have you thought of this aftermath?

The enemy is powerful.

I only need to stay calm and hold on to the camp. Compared to escaping to the wilderness,

there's more hopes for survival.

When the reinforcement is here, we can do a flank attack

and fight our way out.

- Yes. - Yes.

Reporting.

Sir, the reinforcement...the reinforcement is here.

Great.

Sir, the reinforcement is late and caused you to be stranded by the seige.

Zhu Shan, do you think you can earn merits to redeem your crime by doing this?

You privately deployed officials and soldiers and placed me in danger.

You detachedly watched our battle with the Northern Qi's army.

You waited till both parties are exhausted and suddenly fall from the sky.

Is this how you earned your heroic and reputable name?

Sir, it's not like this.

Duke Cheng deployed us because he guessed the plot of Northern Qi.

That's why we led soldiers to Mountaiin Song to rob the rations of the Northern Qi's army.

Duke Cheng intercepted the reinforcement in the north wing.

Duke Cheng instructed us to attack Northern Qi in the right wing.

Sir, we were blocked and attacked by Northern Qi and couldn't advance or retreat. Duke Cheng rescued us.

Get up.

So, you already guessed the plot of the Northern Qi's army in advance.

So to say, you guessed that I would be ambushed by the Northern Qi's army?

Yes, I did.

- Why didn't you mention this to me... - Sir,

now's not the time to argue about this. The top priority now is to rush to rescue the capital.

Rush to rescue the capital?

How can this be?

Is Northern Qi attacking the capital?

The 60,000 calvary of Northern Qi has already arrived at the east of the capital.

What?

We are doomed. So, the goal of Northern Qi

is not the north territory but the capital instead.

60,000 calvary? The capital is doomed.

It will not be the end of the capital.

When you were stranded by the siege,

I already instructed the soldiers and horses at Suning Pass to head to the capital.

I'm worried there's insufficient time.

The only hope now is that

they can hold on till our reinforcement arrives.

What has the military defense been doing?

Why did they allow the commander of Northern Qi's army ride to the south?

Your Majesty, after we lost communication with Qing Hebo,

it has been difficult to grasp news from the frontline.

Your Majesty, please order the troop from the easten route to resist the enemies and defend till death.

Permission given. Include troop from the western route to form an overall defense.

Understood.

Is there any reply from the Northern Qi's envoy?

We sent them letters but there were no replies.

Your Majesty, I'm willing to go to Northern Qi to negotiate with them.

I will wait for your good news.

I will do my best.

Your Majesty, the north can't be without a general for a day. Please give Duke Cheng a chance.

Are you telling me to hand over the army in the north to a criminal who's convicted of treason?

And then, wait for him to head south with the iron calvary of Northern Qi

to engulf the capital?

Your Majesty, Duke Cheng is not this kind of person.

I believe there's a misunderstanding.

This means I'm wrong.

Of course, Your Majesty is not wrong.

The one who's wrong is Duke Cheng who committed treason

and Lord Ning who made a verbal mistake.

Uncle.

Move aside.

What happened?

Lord, the army from Northern Qi is here.

We couldn't resist East route of the capital. We were ambushed.

Lord Lu,

the army from Northern Qi is here.

Leave now.

Leave now.

What are you doing?

Come with me, they are about to invade the capital.

intend to frame Duke Cheng.

Come, if we don't go now it'll be too late.

Wait, wait, I can't go.

You don't know how critical the situation is now?

We cannot wait!

Your Majesty is leaving!

Chu Rang is leaving?

the city cannot be defended anymore.

That is why I wanted you to leave now!

Only when you are at my side than you are safe.

What are you hesitating for? Leave!

Today you have to leave whether you want or not!

Lu Yunqi.

I want to defend Father Emperor's country.

Jiuling

you finally admitted. At that time in the prison I already wanted to leave with you.

But I missed it.

This time, I won't miss it.

So you leave with me, please?

Like protecting Jiuli and Jiurong

I borne the infamy of everyone

to marry Princess Jiuli so that I can be beside to guard them

in order to protect them fully.

Only this way I can than guard the important people.

I know, everyone is scolding me, saying that I'm evil.

I don't mind it. I don't care when people say I'm a lackey.

I, Lu Yunqi, care about

is what everything you, Chu Jiuling, care about.

Leave, please?

There's no time left. Leave.

Lu Yunqi

Humans throughout their lifetime not only need to live with life and death

also need to understand the right from wrong.

What I need is never to safely survive.

Follow Father Emperor's ambition, follow Father Emperor's boldness

protect safety of the common people. Even if I sacrifice my life, I will not hesitate.

This is my choice, and also the life that I want.

Guarding the well-being of the common people is my responsibility, I cannot retreat for even half a step.

If you really want to help me, than please let me fulfil it.

I may be wrong.

Initially I thought only when I'm by your side

than you will be very safe.

Jiuling

you must promise me, live your life well.

Jiuli and Jiurong I will help you take good care of them.

The mistakes that I, Lu Yunqi, made originally

I admit. But I will never make mistakes again.

I know what to do in the future.

Your Excellency, there's really no more time.

Second brother, I personally feel that maybe—

We have a chance.

So we can't have too many people, otherwise it's easy to be exposed. Is there news from the capital?

Capital's east and west roads cannot hold on anymore, soldiers from the north are nearing the capital.

Tomorrow must be successful. Go and find a path.

Jiuling, wait for me.

Such a big thing like a siege from the north

the imperial court is still hiding it from everyone.

Incapable ruler. Only cared about escaping fleetly himself

did not even give a chance for the common people to guard the city and escape.

The north is invading soon, do you know?

Are you crazy?

The north is invading soon, do you know!

What nonsense are you talking about?

Quick, quick.

Dimwit.

You don't want your life?

I deserve to die, I deserve to die.

Eunuch Yuan

Your Majesty asked you to go over.

Yes.

Eunuch Yuan, rest assured, here I will help to to look after.

Many thanks, Your Excellency Ning.

Be more efficient. Pick up and take things securely.

Your Excellency Ning.

Your Excellency Lu.

It's time to set off.

Yes.

Take these also.

Everything is ready?

Your Majesty, we can leave anytime.

- Was the news ever leaked? - No.

Your Majesty, but the capital has so many people.

Can't look after anymore. Quickly leave.

The amount of population left in this capital.

In your eyes, is it an empty city?

Jinxiu, Jinxiu!

- Jiuling, Jiuling! You're finally back! - Where is everyone else?

Jiuling is back! Jiuling is back!

Miss is back!

Miss you're finally back!

You're finally back. Where did you go?

I have no time to explain. The Northern Qi army is going to break in.

This... How did this happen?

The east and west paths of the capital have already been breached.

The latest would be tomorrow. Tomorrow the Northern Qi army will reach the capital borders

and attack the capital city.

But there hasn't been any action in the capital. It does not seem like we are preparing for battle!

This is because Churang has ran off. He brought his trusted men and secretly left the capital.

He is basically giving the capital away. He doesn't want the city, or the people.

How could he be like that?

How is he fit to sit on the throne?

What a useless king!

Now all the citizens are unaware of this. What should we do?

Who in the capital now is capable of taking charge?

Such a useless king, a coward!

Should we go and inform everyone first?

What should we do, Miss?

I'll look for Prince Xian.

Jinxiu, Shopkeeper Liu. Go and get all of De Shengchang's excess cash.

- Think of a way to purchase all the weapons in the city. - Yes!

Chen Qi, you will be in charge of distributing the weapons.

Also, go and get other materials that can be used to make weapons too.

- Leave it to me. - Miss, what about me?

Liu'er, use the name of Jiu Ling Hall and buy rations from all the city businesses. You have to be done before tonight.

In case a war really breaks out, the prices of all these resources will rise and the citizens will be left with nothing.

I understand, Miss.

Now that the capital is in danger, I can only rely on all of you.

We will live and die together. Show no fear and no retreat!

Show no fear and no retreat!

- Hurry and go! - Yes!

Let's go, hurry.

Is this true?

The news cannot be hidden for too long. At most by tomorrow morning,

everyone in the capital will definitely know that His Majesty has already abandoned the city.

So in other words, we only have tonight to prepare?

- Yes. - In the city, the number of guards and horses

only number at the thousands. While outside there will be an army with tens of thousands.

How will we be able to block this?

Your Highness, don't forget that there are still tens of thousands of citizens in the city.

They share the same fate of life and death. Everyone can fight together.

Furthermore...

Furthermore once the northern army arrives we could have a chance of survival.

But the problem is, without His Majesty's command token,

the soliders from the five counties may not listen to us.

Right now whether they want to or not, they will have to obey. You need to take out your strongest attitude to face them.

Your Highness, right now in the city only you are able to take charge.

The lives of over ten thousand citizens rest in your hands.

I believe as long as you are willing to lead, things will be as you said before.

Once the Northern Qi army is beaten, the lives of our citizens will be saved.

How would you know what I have said before?

Royal Uncle, this is because I am Jiuling.

Chu Jiuling.

You are Jiuling?

- You didn't die? - Yes.

I didn't die in the fire. I'm still alive.

But your appearance-

Royal Uncle, I will definitely explain it to you in future.

Right now you need to get a handle on things!

Royal Uncle!

Do you remember the osmanthus cakes from Yushan Restaurant?

In the past, on my birthday every year

you and Royal Father would make it for me.

You are really Jiuling.

Jiuling, you must know that the most important things in leading an army to battle are

firstly, weapons. Secondly, rations.

I know. Rest assured on these two fronts.

I have already asked Jiu Ling Hall and De Shengchang to settle this.

If you were a boy,

you would definitely be a hero who can protect the country.

Let's do this, Jiuling.

I will go and activate the soldiers from the five counties.

If they insist on not obeying, I will activate my personal guards.

They will go to each city gate. I shall see who dares to open the city gates!

Alright. Royal Uncle, we shall meet at the eastern city gate tomorrow.

- Then I will go and prepare. - Alright.

Royal Uncle, do you have news about Heir Apparent?

Ever since he and Duke Cheng escaped the capital,

I have not heard any news from them.

Alright, I understand.

Then I shall take my leave.

Floral umbrellas!

Take a look at these floral umbrellas!

This one has a good meaning. Let's take this one.

If you asked me what are the best days of my life,

I would say that they are the days with you.

Me?

When did I become such an important person?

No news... That still counts as good news.

You are so smart. You would definitely not be caught.

Right now, do you know about the Northern Qi army coming to attack the capital?

If you were the one in charge of leading the people here, what would you do?

Zhu Zan...

Why hasn't His Majesty appeared in court?

Bad news! His Majesty is gone!

- His Majesty is gone! - What?

I searched the entire royal palace, I just cannot find him!

- You checked everywhere? - I checked everywhere!

Even Third Prince is missing!

We are finished!

Wouldn't that mean the Northern Qi army is going to break in?

Don't be scared. I am under Duke Cheng's orders.

Heir Apparent is injured. Where is Young Master Fang?

Young Master Fang!

Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!

How did this happen?

Once he learnt that our army was in danger, he got injured while assassinating the Northern Qi emperor.

But the wanted order on him isn't removed so we dare not wander around to find a physician.

Without any other methods, we can only come to Young Master Fang for help.

Santao, bring them in first. I will find a way to invite a physician.

Young Master Fang, the physician must be someone reliable. If not things would be worse.

I understand.

Then you come with me.

Master, what should we do now?

Stop crying and making a fuss.

Prince Xian has already stood out to lead the situation. The capital will not fall into chaos.

You also should not blame Yunzhao for bringing the news late.

It was already difficult for him to save himself.

I watched Yunzhao grow up, of course I understand his personality.

- But Master, can you not go? - I have to go.

I didn't go in the past.

I appealed and His Majesty did not listen. I can only persevere till the end!

But even His Majesty has fled!

It is because he has fled!

That I have to go out even more!

For the sake of the right path and the sake of all the lives.

You are one of the common people.

Go and hide well at home with the kids. Don't run around outside.

These few days, the capital cannot fall into chaos.

We are willing to follow Lord to protect the city!

To protect the country is to protect our home!

To protect our home, we all have a duty!
