=Episode 17=

I'm sorry.

Stay away.

They all said

that you betrayed the state.

I'm sorry.

But I never betrayed the state.

(Ten years ago) Your Majesty.

(Ten years ago)

I heard of the victory

at the Black Water last month.

You

defeated a troop of 100,000 with a troop of 30,000.

You're excellent.

I'm flattered.

You're certainly capable.

I'm impressed.

There is no success after a long time

in Duanli Valley of Kun State.

Kun State is suffering from natural disaster.

When they're weak,

I give you a month.

Why don't you

follow up the victory and seize the valley?

Your Majesty.

Duanli Valley is easy to defend but hard to attack.

It can't be seized overnight.

Moreover,

we've just won a battle.

More than half of the troop were wounded and killed.

We should rest and recuperate at this time.

Your Majesty,

please think twice.

You refuse to attack either

we're strong or weak.

How long do you want

to recuperate?

I've thought through it.

Do you think

I have no one else

except you?

Your Majesty.

The Pine Academy

has been training soldiers for years.

With the nationwide effort,

I have no doubt

that victory

can be made with a large troop.

It's not about the work of ages.

He was scared of my great achievements.

The troop of 30,000

(suffered heavy casualties since the battle at the Black Water.)

(The troop of 30,000)

(was in fact a troop of 3,000.)

(Fighting against a large troop of the enemy)

(was just like throwing an egg against a rock.)

(I led the troop to break through the enemy line.)

(All of them were killed in the battle.)

(None of them survived.)

Father.

I knew you wouldn't betray the state.

I knew it.

When I came to,

I was detained in this house.

I thought of killing myself.

However,

I'm the only person who knows the way to contact them.

They've been hibernating for years for the state.

Who are they?

The Night Army.

What is the Night Army?

The Night Army are spies of Wei State

placed in various states.

They form a powerful intelligence network.

Look.

The East Gate.

Four.

Do you remember it?

Hanzhou Gate.

Three.

And two places here.

Father.

Since you never betray the state,

let's go back to Wei State.

Mother is waiting for you.

Qiancao.

I've gone

far enough.

I have nothing else to expect.

Send a message to your mother for me.

I've let her down in this life.

I'll make up in my next life.

Father.

I...

Father.

What are you doing?

This is bad.

I've unblocked the power of Xuanqian in you.

Bring this

to find a man named Zhao Sheng.

He is the captain of the Night Army.

He'll know what to do.

Open the door.

Why are you here?

Why did you refuse to take me to see my father?

What were you scared of?

Qiancao.

Take them home for me.

Father!

Hold it there!

Second Prince.

Thank you for your care all these years.

I have nothing to repay you.

It's only

death.

Split up and chase after her.

- Yes. - Yes.

What is wrong with you?

It's my fault.

You haven't found that woman?

She must have returned to her state.

I'll chase after her.

What is this?

What has happened?

Xuan Qiancao.

(Wanted) She seems like a spy.

She stole imperial secrets

and tried to assassinate the Second Prince.

A spy?

Sir.

Have a safe trip, sir.

Take a look.

Lady.

How much of meat do you want?

The secret code of the Night Army.

Peaceful years with meat growing.

Peaceful years

with meat growing.

Deep meaning

of the founding emperor.

Do you recognise this?

(Commander of the Night Army, Zhao Sheng)

There're so many people.

We talk somewhere else.

I want to find her.

You know what?

Doing this

is giving the Crown Prince a chance

to get rid of you.

If I don't go now,

I'll lose her forever.

Fine.

Hold on.

I go with you.
