[Episode 35]

Father.

Don't worry yet.

Tan Xuanlin betraying us,

might not be a bad thing for us.

How could it not be bad?

I just appointed him as the City Guard of Jiang City.

And this is what he did.

What will others think of me?

People who don't know the truth will think I asked him to do so.

If the public opinion is really so,

why don't we just guide it according to the situation?

In fact, against the Revolutionary Army,

we don't have much experience in direct crossfires.

After all, the Pei Family lives in the north most of the time.

And the area along Yangtze River is Xu Bojun's territory.

Actually,

we don't have a profound hatred for them.

Now Xu Bojun has retired from his position,

and if the Revolutionary Army crosses the Yangtze River,

the Pei family will be their greatest opponent.

If we lose, we'll become their prisoners.

Even we win, we'll also be further weakened.

If we seize the opportunity of Tan Xuanlin's betrayal,

we can show our goodwill to the Revolutionary Army

and negotiate with them.

If we can reach an agreement, that would be good for everyone.

If we can't, it won't be too late for us

to go to war with them either.

Old Fu.

Commander. Commander.

You came here in such a hurry. Is there anything urgent?

Nothing is urgent.

In our warehouse, we received a batch of new guns made in Germany.

I noticed that the riflings on the ones our men use now are almost worn out.

- I want to replace them. - That's definitely nice.

It's really different coming back home.

Our equipment has been greatly upgraded.

Why did it take you so long to inspect the barracks?

- Is everything fine? - Everything is fine.

But our stations are too scattered.

If I want to inspect each barrack, it'll take me two hours.

Are the barracks assigned to us by Liu Fu far away?

Don't mention it.

They are in all directions,

and none of them are close to each other.

I just think it's not easy for Liu Fu either.

It's good as far as he can arrange them for us.

Besides, the Tan Army has always been able to endure hardships,

so I don't worry about it.

Old Fu.

Please mark out all the locations of our army's barracks.

All right.

They are all here.

Something is not right.

There are more than ten barracks with less than 200 people in each one.

The communication, transportation, and drill,

none of them are conveniently placed.

Liu Fu has been a leader in the army for more than ten years.

He shouldn't have arranged it like this.

At first, we also felt it strange.

However,

Division Commander Liu took good care of us in all other things.

When our army just arrived in the city and he saw we didn't have new uniforms,

all 2,000 sets of newly-made uniforms were given to us by his order.

- Is this uniform of yours new? - Yes, it is.

The soldiers just put them on today.

This uniform of yours, why is the color different from theirs?

He told me that they had used up the cloth they had before,

and the new cloth could not be shipped in yet.

That is why the color is different.

According to Division Commander Liu, when they get the new cloth,

they will change them for us.

This black spot here, which army does it represent?

This is a regiment of Division Commander Liu.

What about this?

This should be his guard camp.

Then this is his transport division.

Liu Fu has positioned his 20,000 men

to surround our 2,000.

It looks like the uniforms were made in order to

make it easy to distinguish us when he launches a mutiny.

Commander, you mean Liu Fu—

What about the weapons? Where are our weapons?

We have all the guns with us.

But the ammunition and heavy weapons are all in the warehouse.

Hurry! Take me to the warehouse now!

- Don't let the others notice us. - All right.

Let's go.

[Jiang City Military Map]

The keyhole has been filled with lead.

The problem will be noticed once someone comes to check it tomorrow.

Damn. They plan on doing this.

So they will act tonight.

Tan Si. Old Fu. Get ready to fight!

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

Hold on!

No. It can't be tonight.

I must take Wanqing out of the city.

I have to hold Liu Fu and buy some time.

Commander,

you should escort Miss Wanqing out of the city. You two leave together.

Yes, Commander. Tan Si is right.

We'll escort you out of the city first.

No way!

Ever since I became a soldier,

I've never considered deserting.

I'll find a way to get her out of the city

to Xu Guangyao.

Commander.

I have no other choice.

I know what you want to say.

Although I don't know if I can still be alive tomorrow,

she must survive.

By Marshal Xu's instruction,

we should take the final action tonight.

Tan Xuanlin's army

has been divided into twelve barracks

with less than 200 people each.

And the distance between any two barracks

is more than three miles.

They can't help each other at all.

Around each of their barracks, there are our troops.

Once we take action,

they will not be able to fight back.

Report!

What is it?

Division Commander, Tan Xuanlin is here.

Tan Xuanlin?

Could he have noticed something?

I'll go and find out.

If you notice anything wrong,

kill him immediately.

Yes, sir.

Commander Tan.

Why do you come here in person so late?

If you need anything, just call me

and I'll come to you.

Uncle Liu, you're so kind.

You are my elder.

I come to visit you so late at night,

and I feel sorry for that.

I'm here to ask a favor from you.

Can you clear away the mines near the wharf in Jiang City?

Tomorrow morning, I want Wanqing to go out of the city.

Miss Mu going out of the city at a time like this…

Where is she going?

She is going to see Xu Bojun's son, Xu Guangyao.

At this time,

won't it be too dangerous to go to Yue City?

Xu Guangyao is no longer in Yue City.

He has joined the Revolutionary Army.

He's just kept it from his father.

However, Wanqing has been his friend for a long time

and they have remained in touch.

So only Wanqing knows where he is.

Wanqing... she's going to see Xu Guangyao now?

Why?

Uncle Liu, as you know,

Xu Bojun has always regarded me as his enemy.

When something so big like this happened,

there was no reaction from Yue City.

I feel strange about that.

So I want Wanqing to see Xu Guangyao to get some details.

You are considerate, Commander Tan.

No problem.

I'll send my men to clear the mines and prepare the boat.

Tomorrow, I'll take Miss Mu out of the city.

All right. Thank you, Uncle Liu.

Then I won't bother you any longer.

Okay, Commander Tan. Take care.

All right.

Issue my order.

Our action is postponed to tomorrow night.

And send some reliable men to watch Mu Wanqing.

To find Xu Guangyao for Marshal Xu…

It will be another great achievement.

Yes, sir!

Let's go.

Commander, how was it?

Liu Fu indeed works for Xu Bojun.

He wants to take advantage of Wanqing's exit from the city

to find Xu Guangyao.

Then he can ask Xu Bojun for credit.

So he didn't hesitate to promise getting Wanqing out of the city.

Even so, we can only stall him for one day.

Tomorrow night, we'll be engaged in a fierce battle.

Don't worry, Commander.

Even if we have only one man left,

with our last breath, we'll fight Liu Fu to the end.

Commander,

Miss Wanqing is still waiting for you in the City Guard Office.

What do you plan to do?

Go to the barracks first.

Yes, sir.

[Brother Guangyao]

Old Fu. Old Fu, give me a sip.

[The Headquarters] Sorry, I can't. It's my treasure.

Let me tell you. Liquor not only tastes good

but also relieves worries.

And there are many other uses as well.

You are so stingy.

Didn't you get your payment?

Good day, Commander!

[City Guard Office of Jiang City]

Why haven't you gone to bed yet, Wanqing?

Aren't you a bit too busy, dear City Guard? You came back so late.

Just now, I was busy with the arrangement of soldiers.

There's too much to do.

Is everything settled then?

Yes, it's settled.

I made lotus seed soup. Will you have some?

Wanqing.

There's something I need your help with.

You can let me know.

Tomorrow morning, please get out of the city

and help me send a letter to Xu Guangyao.

Why do you suddenly want to send a letter to Brother Guangyao?

What's wrong?

[City Guard Office of Jiang City]

So Liu Fu wants to follow me in order to find Xu Guangyao,

and that was why he didn't take action tonight?

Yes.

And the Telegraph Office is probably under his control already.

It's not safe. So you need to get out of the city.

At the moment, we can hold Liu Fu.

The second thing is,

I need you to ask Xu Guangyao to send men to help us.

But Liu Fu has 20,000 men, and you only have 2,000.

Can you hold on?

Liu Fu has been sick for quite some time.

And his soldiers haven't trained for a long time.

The Tan Army has been through many battles.

Holding on until Xu Guangyao comes to help won't be a problem.

But Brother Guangyao is in the front line of Huainan.

He can't come until the morning after tomorrow at the earliest.

To fight with one against ten, I can't help but worry about you.

Has your man ever lost a war?

It's fine. Don't worry.

A battle with fewer men is not something new to me.

And I promised you before.

I will never hide anything from you again.

So when I say I can make it, I mean it.

You need to trust me.

Okay.

I trust you. I'll go tomorrow morning.

All right. I'll ask Tan Si–

But I have a condition.

What is it?

We need to get married tonight.

[Double Happiness]

[Together till death do us part. ]

[Never leave each other.]

[Love forever.]

[Grow old together.]

[The Bridegroom]

[The Bride]

[Marriage Certificate] [Establishing a perfect marriage and becoming a happily married couple]

Wanqing.

Isn't it a bit too hasty to get married?

How about we wait until you come back?

I don't think it's hasty.

I've made up my mind.

I'm determined to have you as my husband.

Do you have any other thoughts?

No. Of course not.

- If I can have a wife in this life– - "If"?

I mean… I won't have any other thoughts.

Since you have no other thoughts,

come and sign the deed of selling yourself.

After you sign it, you are mine.

Such a nice girl like you. How can you talk like a bandit?

Since I fell in love with you, the son of a bandit,

if I don't behave like a bandit, how can I have power over you forever?

[Together till death do us part - Never leave each other]

[Love forever - Grow old together]

Did I write anything wrong?

Was your Chinese taught by a Japanese teacher?

It doesn't rhyme.

What? Are you not willing to be with me till death do us part?

Or are you thinking of leaving me someday?

I'm talking about the rhyme. What are you talking about?

Let's write our names on it.

From now on, you have me with you and I have you with me.

We…

We haven't had our cross-cupped wine yet.

If we don't drink cross-cupped wine on the wedding night, it will be unlucky.

Here.

You want to make me drunk?

Why would I do that?

If I get drunk,

you won't need to touch me.

Then even if you die,

I can still get married again.

I'll drink the cross-cupped wine.

But here's the deal.

Neither of us shall get drunk today.

Okay.

You can't escape this.

Really…

I've never seen a bride who is so eager as you.

I'm just taking off my husband's clothes.

It has nothing to do with others.

What are you doing?

These scars.

I'll check again when I come back.

If there's any new one, just wait to see how I will punish you.

I don't want to leave.

I want to stay with you.

I promised you a home.

We're going to have many children.

We're going to take family photos every year.

I don't want to leave you here alone.

Wanqing.

Promise me.

You must give the letter to Xu Guangyao

and ask him to send troops to help.

That's the only way we can hold Jiang City

and keep our home.

Then, children…

and family photos… we'll have them all.

For me…

only when you are by my side,

grow old with me,

and we watch our children grow up…

That's all I want.

If you are gone,

I will have nothing left.

You promised me a lifetime.

I don't want to have a single day less.

You have my word.

Not a single day less.

Have you kept the letter well?

Have you put on the safety amulet?

I've always been wearing it.

I asked for it for you, so it will work.

The bullets won't hit you even if they fly around you.

I believe you.

But I still don't want to leave you.

It's fine.

In two days at most, you will see me again.

And we will have a life so long, we won't miss a single day.

I have to go.

Liu Fu's soldiers are watching me.

- Wanqing. - Please.

Wait for me!

Commander,

I can't imagine when Miss Wanqing reads the letter–

Get back to the barracks.

Prepare for battle.

Governor.

We received a message from Jiang City.

It said that Mu Wanqing went out of the city to see Junior Marshal.

[Mu Wanqing knows Junior Marshal's position] He knows you worry about Junior Marshal.

So he postponed the action for a day.

And he sent his men to follow Mu Wanqing out of the city.

I believe we'll hear news about Junior Marshal soon.

I conquered the territory for him.

But he doesn't want it.

He would rather be a pawn for others.

Tell Liu Fu he must take action tonight.

If Tan Xuanlin is killed,

Jiang City will be his.

Yes, sir.

Governor.

Governor.

Go. Go find Guangyao.

Bring him back to me.

Even if you have to tie him up, you must bring him back.

Don't worry, Governor. I'll go there myself.

- I will bring Junior Marshal back. - Good. Hurry.

[Jiang City Military Map]

After Chen Shaowu died,

his troop of more than 10,000 men

was integrated by Liu Fu.

A living depending on others won't be easy.

If we want to defeat more with less,

we must pull Chen Shaowu's soldiers to our side.

Good idea.

Take Chen Shaowu's men away.

Yes, sir! Move!

- Come out! - Why do you arrest me?

- Why do you arrest me? - Move!

Officer, Chen Shaowu plotted a rebellion.

But we knew nothing about it.

Did you take the wrong person?

We were ordered by Division Commander Liu Fu

to strictly investigate Chen Shaowu's men.

Division Commander Liu Fu also has

a list of names from Chen Shaowu.

Tonight, we will make arrests according to the list.

For those involved, you'd better confess tonight

before it gets dark.

Maybe you can have a chance to be treated with leniency.

Arrest according to a list of names?

What kind of list? Could our names be on it?

Liu Fu can't possibly decide it all by himself, can he?

Wanqing.

My soldiers can't move right now.

Why can't they move?

Right now, we are

in a standoff with two divisions of the City Guard of Wuhu.

If I send my soldiers to Jiang City,

Huainan will fall into the hands of the enemy soon.

But I've informed the headquarters.

The headquarters will soon send two regiments

to Jiang City as reinforcement.

But Liu Fu has 20,000 soldiers.

Two regiments are not enough at all.

Brother Guangyao.

You are Xuanlin's last hope.

Please save him.

Wanqing.

Some time earlier,

Liao Xi sent Commander Tan a front-line briefing.

I can't move any men,

and he already knew about it.

That's impossible.

He asked me himself to come to you for help.

If that's the case, why did he write a letter to you?

What did he say in the letter? Give it to me.

- Give it to me! Give it to me! - Wanqing, calm down.

Brother Guangyao, reading my words is like meeting me in person.

Jiang City is in danger now because of a sudden change of situation.

2,000 soldiers of the Tan Army and I

have been trapped in the city by the traitor Liu Fu and his 20,000 men.

We are outnumbered by the enemy and we are fighting alone.

Apart from victory and righteousness, I want nothing else.

Now that I've devoted myself to the revolution, I don't care if I can survive.

The only concern in my heart is Wanqing.

You've known her since childhood. You truly care about her.

We used to work together. Although we don't communicate much,

we respect each other and understand each other.

If I die in battle, Wanqing will be in great pain.

You are her only family. Please take good care of her.

Make her forget me and spend the rest of her life happily.

After the revolution achieves success, if you can return to Shanghai,

remember to take her to the old street for pan-fried buns

and go to She Mountain to see the night view.

I owe her my company for a lifetime.

If I can't pay it back in this life, I hope you can do this for me.

Protect her and keep her safe.

What is precious for people is understanding.

I don't think you'll let me down.

Farewell for now and forever. Thank you.

Tan Xuanlin's last words.

[Tan Xuanlin's last words]

He lied to me.

He said he would live and wait for me to go back.

We just got married yesterday.

He abandoned me today.

Wanqing.

I'm going back to Jiang City.

I can't let him stay there alone.

Wanqing.

Calm down. We'll figure out a way.

Division Commander, if we lose Huainan, we'll be punished by military law.

Shut up!

We'll figure out another way.

Brother Guangyao, I know it's difficult for you.

I won't force you.

But Xuanlin is my husband.

I have to be with him.

Report!

Division Commander, we caught a spy of Xu Bojun. He wants to see you.

A spy? Did you find out who he is?

He said he is Xu Bojun's adjutant, Xu Yuan.

Wanqing, I know how to save Commander Tan.

Division Commander.

Xu Yuan, it's really you.

Junior Marshal, I finally found you.

Did my father send you here?

Yes, he did.

Is he all right?

Governor is sick. Now, he's getting worse.

He can't get out of bed now.

How could he suddenly be so ill?

It's the old problem in his lungs.

He told me many times to bring you back.

For the safety of the people in Yue City, he's willing to hold a peace talk.

Is my father willing to hold a peace talk?

He said he finally understands.

He did all of this for you.

He doesn't want to lose his only son.

That will be the real failure.

Come back with me.

All right.

I'll go with you.

[City Guard Office]

At 9:00 in the evening, the signal will be three shots.

At the same time, we'll attack both the barracks of the Tan Army

and the City Guard Office of Jiang City.

We must crush the Tan Army in this battle.

Yes, sir!

[Jiang City is in Danger. Need Help.] [Help them Immediately.]

Give them my order. Jiang City is in danger.

Everyone sorts out the equipment within ten minutes and sets off immediately.

Yes, sir!

Report!

Report. Jiang City is in danger. They need our reinforcement.

Everyone, turn back! To the direction of Jiang City!

Run forward!

Old Fu, take your men to capture the armory and get the heavy weapons and ammunition.

Don't worry. Leave it to me.

- Machine Gun Company! - Sir!

You must take the clock tower, the highest spot in the city.

- Send your best machine gunners up there. - Yes, sir!

- Guard Camp. - Sir!

Protect the City Guard Office.

- Prevent Liu Fu from sneaking up on you. - Yes, sir!

The rest of you. Concentrate your firepower and destroy Liu Fu's base.

To catch all followers, capture the leader first. Bring him to me alive or bring me his body.

Yes, sir!

All right. Every evening, Liu Fu's men patrol the barracks at 8:00.

If they take action today, they will surely do it after the patrol

when they can confirm that everything is normal.

So we must take a chance before their action to complicate their situation.

- Understood? - Yes, sir!

[NO FIRE]

It's the last room.

Go back to work after it's finished here.

Why did you put it here?

Hey!

I'm talking to you!

Drop your weapons!

What do you want?

Report!

- What is it? - Division Commander.

Chen Shaowu's soldiers rebelled.

Take Miss Mu into the room.

Don't let her go anywhere. I'm going to see my father first.

Yes, sir.

This way, please.

Report!

Chen Shaowu's soldiers have taken action.

Good. Follow the plan.

Yes, sir.

Military Governor, I have brought Junior Marshal back.

Father.

Son.

You're finally willing to come back.

Finally, the Xu family can have heirs.

Father, are you really willing to have a peace talk?

Come here. Sit down.

I can agree to peace with Pei Xun

and I can surely have it with the Revolutionary Army, too.

Whether to fight or talk, it is just a method.

As long as we have the territory and military power,

we have nothing to be afraid of.

And I got a big bargaining chip for you.

A bargaining chip?

Jiang City is about to be ours.

If the Revolutionary Army wants to cross the Yangtze River,

they'll definitely pass through Jiang City.

You tell me.

Is this a big bargaining chip or not?

If I want to talk with them,

I'd better have a position.

But now I'm only a supervisor in the Command of Shanghai.

And I don't have an official position in Yue City.

Without proper authority, I can't do it properly either.

The military and political power in Yue City will be given to you sooner or later.

Nothing is irregular about this.
