[Beauty of Resilience]

[Episode 20]

You are indeed

the soldiers from the capital.

You can't even catch an assassin

with so many people.

Impressive.

You use all your skills

to doubt our people.

Chen Yan.

What did you say?

Nothing.

Just whine.

Guys.

Search here thoroughly

and carefully.

Like under the quilt.

In the cabinet.

Check it thoroughly.

Chen Yan.

Where did you get this handkerchief?

This is mine.

Any problem?

Did you find

anything suspicious?

No.

No.

You may leave.

Yes.

This is the commander's

personal belongings.

How did you get it?

Staff Mu.

Why do

I have it?

You should know that.

Don't talk nonsense.

She is noble.

How could she

be secretly dating you?

Tell me the truth.

How did you

steal it?

I know.

You are loyal to her.

But do you think that

you are out of your depth?

Staff Mu,

you are either blinded

or you were kept in the dark

about many things.

You know

what happened.

Why do you need my answer?

Right?

It's about the reputation of our commander.

You'd better tell me the truth.

I think

it's about

Staff Mu's jealousy.

You'd better give me the handkerchief now.

Otherwise, I won't go easy on you.

I treat you as a child.

So I won't sink to your level.

Do you think

I'm a pushover?

Will you give it to me or not?

No.

Besides,

the beauty's staff

still remains the fragrance.

Shameless!

Stop!

Leave us.

Yes.

Who can tell me what's going on?

Father Marshal was assassinated at the Outpost Battalion.

The assassin ran away.

People from Jinghe are obstructing.

There is no clue outside the camp.

What about you inside the camp?

You fought and hurt each other

at this critical moment.

So ridiculous.

Who started it?

It was me.

Give me a reason.

I have nothing to say.

Chen Yan, tell me.

Me?

How would I know?

Weird.

Good.

Since you don't say anything,

we'll follow the military rules.

[Wei]

[Wei]

[Wei]

[Wei]

[Wei]

What's wrong with me?

She was angry this time.

And she must be very disappointed in me.

But Chen Yan is shameless.

How can I allow him

to slander her?

But

why do I feel

something is wrong?

Chen Yan,

You're so insensitive.

How can you sleep?

Get up!

Get up.

You scared me.

Cut the crap.

You two are really...

Tell me.

Why did you fight with Staff Mu?

Him?

Just like that.

Okay, I got it.

No need to say.

Why not?

What do you know?

I...

Why did you get hurt?

It's so good.

He hurt my arm.

OK.

You came at the right time.

I am the assassin.

I fell into the trap.

Hurry, catch me.

Stop it!

It hurts.

Let's get down to business.

How is it?

Have you caught the assassin?

Everyone has been checked.

But we found nothing.

We're relieved

to see you are fine.

In my opinion,

you should think of a way

to calm the commander down.

His two most trusted people fought.

It's not my fault.

Fine.

I'll ponder

on this here.

OK. Go ahead.

We'll keep looking for the assassin.

Let me get you some medicine.

Tell me if you need anything.

Bring some delicious food.

Do it yourself.

Commander.

Why are you here?

Call me Commander.

Commander.

Why are you here?

I want to know

why you

fought with Mu Nan.

It's nothing.

It's not worth mentioning.

What is it?

I can't tell you.

This is incised wound ointment.

Use this.

No need.

It's just a flesh wound.

A knife wound is easy to get infected.

Take it.

No need.

I've disinfected

with this liquor.

Such a big thing happened.

You officials

must be very busy.

Don't worry about me.

Let me see

your wound.

The military doctor said

that opening this

is bad

-Move it. -for my wound.

Fine.

But I...

Hurry!

Commander!

We caught the assassin.

Where is the assassin?

The assassin

was caught by General Cao

on his way to Gu City.

He has been imprisoned

in Gu City.

Use it yourself.

Wait.

Commander.

I want to interrogate him.

General Cao

has just done interrogating.

Done?

The Marshal was assassinated

in our Outpost Battalion.

He ended it so soon?

Well...

What?

Are you worried about

me interrogating?

General Cao.

I caught him.

I interrogated him.

We have witness and evidence.

Commander.

Do you want to check again?

General Cao, don't misunderstand.

I didn't mean that.

I just think

this is a serious matter.

Should we wait for the Marshal

to interrogate him

and give us an answer?

We've asked everything.

This man is an assassin sent by Jinghe.

He sneaked in the carriage

for replenishment.

He has been lurking for days.

We found his knife

and night stalker outfit

in the carriage.

He accepted guilt.

The barracks are heavily guarded.

He could have been hidden

in the carriage for days.

Well...

you should ask the soldiers in the Outpost Battalion.

General Cao,

what do you mean?

Outpost Battalion is on duty day and night.

We dare not slack off at all.

Everyone who entered the Gu City

has been strictly checked.

Now you say

he hid in the carriage.

Go get the coachman.

Coachman...

has been

released.

Released?

The coachman has served in the military for many years.

He's loyal.

Why is he loyal?

He is my brother-in-law.

He saved my life

on the battlefield.

That's why he is lame,

and becomes the coachman.

I can guarantee with my life

that he didn't know anything

about this.

General Cao.

Assassinating the Marshal is a major crime.

Even if he is your trusted aide,

he is not suspected of colluding with the enemy,

but he is responsible for negligence.

Guards!

Put him in jail

for seven days

as a warning to others.

You!

Go now.

Yes.

General Cao is righteous.

and admirable.

How did you know

the whereabouts of the Marshal?

Do you have a contact?

If you tell me the truth now,

you can get it over with and be dignified.

Otherwise,

don't blame me for being cruel.

Who is that?

Living on the riverbank by the water grass.

You!

-Speciosity. -Crap!

Scoundrel Sima

is cruel and bloodthirsty.

His two close aides

are troublemakers.

Shut up!

I'll kill you

if you dare to say one more word!

The Emperor of Weicang

is a monstrous ruler.

His mother was a prostitute.

-She has three husbands. -Liar!

She's full of shit.

He is a beast.

Scoundrel from Jinghe!

scumbag!

How dare you insult the last emperor?

General Cao, you're too impulsive.

He assassinated the Marshal first,

and then humiliated our emperor.

He

will die sooner or later.

Unfortunately,

he got off easy.

He is a scout from Jinghe.

He has important information.

Enough!

A man full of dirty words

can only talk rubbish.

Don't try to

suppress me with official words.

I'm a barbarian.

If you think it's not right.

go report to your father.

Come!

Behead the assassin

and hang him at the camp gate

as a warning to others.

Yes.

[Sima]

[Gu City]

[Wei]

Father, why are you out?

It's windy outside.

Don't catch a cold.

I’m strong.

It's nothing.

Didn't you have a waist injury last time?

You should go back and rest.

This is nothing.

Today

is your first time handling a military case.

Of course I have to come.

It's all General Cao's fault.

He was too reckless.

I wanted to follow the clues

to find out the mole.

But he...

I heard about it.

But don't worry about it.

You should know

if you want to be a good commander,

you need to learn the top-down approach.

Don't be bothered by the trifles.

But I can't let him be impulsive.

Yes.

General Cao

was indeed wrong.

But he

is also an excellent general

[Sima]

who is loyal to Weicang.

As for

the mole,

we can investigate it

in secret.

The most important thing

is that

the peace talk halted.

Jinghe sent someone

to assassinate me.

That means their army is weak.

We can seize the opportunity to start the war.

Father, you mean...

[Wei]

Based on the current situation,

the war is coming.

We should focus on the overall situation

in terms of tactics, strategy

and people.

General Cao

is reliable.

No matter how many flaws he has,

the war is coming.

It's just a small matter.

Understood.

You have to prepare carefully.

You are going to fight

on the battlefield.

Yes.

[Wei]

I won't let you down.

Commander.

Commander is here.

Looking at you,

I guess the assassin has been caught.

General Cao has executed him on the spot.

I'm sorry.

I was too paranoid.

If it weren't for General Cao,

I wouldn't know

how long I would be suspected.

Mu Nan,

apologize to Chen Yan.

I'm sorry.

What?

I didn't hear you.

Sorry.

You should have told me earlier.

I won't take it to heart.

Don't leave. Don't leave.

I was just kidding.

Are you serious?

As the saying goes,

We shall end by understanding one another.

From now on,

we are good brothers.

How is your injury?

Commander.

How about

checking again?

That's enough.

Don’t be unreasonable.

Commander.

How about you treat me to a meal?

I really need some nutrition urgently.

OK. Tell me what you want to eat.

Let me think.

Order up, sir.

Please enjoy.

Qi.

You don’t know.

The commander

looks arrogant

with his head in the air.

He didn't respect

us two.

He's targeting me.

Others may not know,

but I do.

Since he came to

be the vanguard of the Outpost Battalion,

you are unhappy.

Am I right?

We all know

what he's capable of.

But the Marshal really let him lead the army.

What happened?

We failed to capture grains.

Regarding peace talk,

the guards failed their duty.

If it were someone else,

he would have been punished severely.

But the Marshal

was just covering up for him.

That's why he's lucky.

Besides,

what can you do

when your son did this?

So,

don't take it to heart.

-Let's drink. -Drink.

I don't think

he is cut out for being a general.

If he takes over the position of Marshal,

the Gu City Army

will die sooner or later.

You,

don't worry.

He won't be the Marshal

in the future.

Bullshit!

If it's not his turn, then who is it?

You? Me?

We can't even get any benefit

even if we bleed so many times.

Why don't you understand?

Come on.

She

is not the young master.

She's the young master's younger sister,

Princess Wang Yue.

Qi,

there should be no joke in the army.

Are you serious?

Why would I lie to you?

I followed the Marshal when I was 16.

I watched his son

to grow up.

This is the young master's younger sister.

Princess Wang Yue.

Since she is the princess,

the Marshal will definitely spoil her.

Besides, after the war,

she will go home

and take care of her family.

She won't take the position.

A girl?

How dare a girl be so arrogant?

As a man,

how come I let

a young girl

stand above me?

We need to find a way

to teach her a lesson.

Cao,

we're talking about this in private.

You can't tell anyone.

This is going to be a big problem.

Do you hear me?

Brother.

I'm sorry.

You died for me.

One day,

we'll meet each other.

I'll

apologize to you at that time.

Are you still unhappy?

I'm happy.

Are you still denying it?

Are you blaming me

for asking you to apologize to Chen Yan?

I dare not.

I lost

the handkerchief

when I took a shower.

He just picked it up by accident.

Don't think too much.

I...

I didn't think too much.

I just don't like him.

Strange.

What did he do to you?

I just think

he's not a good person.

And I think

it's annoying

the way he looks at you.

Are you laughing at me?

Look at you.

You are a warrior in armor

and going into battle.

Why are you still so childish?

I-I'm not childish.

I hate people

saying me childish.

Yes.

I think Chen Yan is not

a good guy,

because I don't know him well.

But I did it for your own good.

If

I misunderstand him,

you can beat me, scold me and punish me

by then.

But now...

No.

I will protect you,

either now or in the future.

I can't let anything happen to you.

It's done.

Eat it while it's hot.

[Wei] [Sima]

Here is Black Wind Castle,

with river cliff to the east.

It has a natural barrier.

Plateau to the west, where the cloud intertwined.

If we can take Black Wind Castle,

we can get through

the way to the north.

According to scout's report,

Jinghe replenished reinforcements of 5,000 soldiers.

They arrived at Black Wind Castle last night.

The enemy has about 12,000 soldiers

plus the guards.

Other than the soldiers stationed in the Base Camp,

we have around

10,000 soldiers who can go into battle.

Although we don't have more soldiers,

the 5,000 new recruits of Jinghe

have no experience.

Plus, they're not

familiar with the terrain.

If we take this chance to fight,

we can catch them off guard.

Staff Mu.

Is she really a woman?

I don't believe it. How is that possible?

I do.

Look.

Did he ever

pee with us?

No, no.

Who has seen him take a bath?

Right, no one.

By then,

I'll take off his pants.

You?

Can you beat him?

Let alone taking off his pants.

He is so skinny.

I'm not a man

if I can't beat him.

Cao,

you've been here for a long time,

and you are familiar with

the conditions around here.

What do you think?

Marshal,

I think

we must fight and we will win.

But if we start a full-frontal attack,

I'm afraid that our losses will be high.

Please enlighten me, General Cao.

The height of the city walls at Black Wind Castle

is more than 10 meters.

Jinghe army are good at using arrows.

If we start a full-frontal attack,

our losses will be high.

But on the west side of the castle,

there are mountains crisscrossed.

[Battle Map]

Due to the high terrain,

the relative height of the wall is only about 6 meters high.

If we pretend to attack the midway holding the flag,

and attract the defense forces.

And we send soldiers with rope ladder

to rush to the city

from the west side.

Before Jinghe army react,

[Battle Map]

we can climb to the wall,

then the victory will be settled.

Good.

Cao.

Good plan.

Qi,

you're in charge of the midway attack.

Okay.

Leave the west side attack to me.

[Battle Map]

The terrain there

is etched

in my mind.

Good.

General Cao.

The attack on the west

is extremely important.

It's too dangerous for you to be alone.

I'm worried.

How about this.

I'll send Commander Zhaoyang to go with you

and attack the west side together.

Yes.

[Battle Map]

Marshal.

The terrain along the way is complicated.

He’s new here.

Besides,

it’s a narrow escape to attack the city.

Commander,

it's better to stay here.

I'm here.

[Battle Map]

Don't worry.

General Cao.

It's because the war is dangerous.

But we are both soldiers of Weicang.

Since we share a bitter hatred of the enemy,

I'm willing to fight with you.

Then I will order Commander Zhaoyang

as the vanguard,

[Battle Map]

and attack on the west side with General Cao.

On the battlefield,

I hope you two

can support each other.

Thank you, Marshal.

Let us through.

Enough.

Don't stop us.

The Marshal is discussing military affairs.

No trespassing.

Then we'll wait here.

We want General Cao

to help us.

That's right! General Cao!

Marshal,

somehow the guards

came with you today

is fighting with soldiers

in the Outpost Battalion.

Let us go.

Let us through!

[Battle Map]

General Cao, please help us!

Help us!

Staff Mu hit us first.

Give us justice!

Marshal! Marshal!

[Wei] [Sima]

Why are you arguing?

Marshal.

Staff Mu hit him first.

Please give us justice.

[Wei] [Sima]

Please give us justice!

Father Marshal.

Mu Nan will definitely...

Mu Nan.

Is that true?

Yes.

Why did you hurt them?

Mu Nan wouldn't

hurt anyone for no reason.

There must be a reason.

Tell us.

Mu Nan.

Say it.

I will accept my punishment.

Marshal.

Commander. Please punish me.

OK.

Guards!

Hit him 50 times with army sticks.

Don't stop until the bones are broken.

Marshal.

They insulted the commander first.

That's why we did it.

Who insulted commander?

A clean hand wants no washing.

Are you afraid of us mentioning it?

Why don't you check it?

What if you are wrong?

If I'm wrong,

just take my head away.

You are framing him!

Who framed him?

Say it again!

I said it, so what?

Commander.

Take off your clothes

and let us see

whether you're a woman or not.

Why?

Do you dare to take it off?

She must be a woman!

Everyone,

I am a woman.

What? She admits it.

You didn't believe me.

My name

is Sima Wangyue.

I,

on behalf of Mu Nan,

apologize to injured soldiers.

My brother is weak and ill.

I hid my identity

to march on his behalf.

It was all

my own idea.

It has nothing to do with Father Marshal.

Today,

I'll hand over all my duties in the army

and I'm willing to be punished.

Everyone,

[Wei] [Sima]

disguise identity

to replace the military position

is a major crime.

As the Marshal,

I have an inescapable responsibility.

But

the war is coming.

I hope all of you

focus on the overall situation,

work together

and fight the enemy together.

After victory,

I will take Wangyue

to see His Majesty and ask for punishment.

Guards!

Take Wangyue

to Gu City.

Yes.

[Wei]

Is it you?

What do you mean?

Tell me all about it.

Did you leak

her identity?

Come on.

Use your brain, OK?

Commander is our boss.

It won't do me any good to leak her identity.

Promotion and wealth

will be all in vain.

No good can come of that.

How could I do

such a stupid thing?

You...

think about it.

Who will benefit

a lot from this?

I didn’t expect our commander

to be a woman.

Yes.

What does our commander

look like

in a girl's dress?

Would she...

Would she be a Heinous woman?

Shut up.

I think

she might be pretty.

It's not of your business.

Chen Yan.

You!

Keep eating.

Sit down.

What happened to Chen Yan?

That kid

knew about this.

No wonder last time when we were showering...

He Is too scheming.

My brother has been weak since childhood.

so I had to disguise myself as a man

and join the army with my father.

Look.

The general of the enemy on the battlefield

looks handsome.

I don't want to fight after seeing him.

General,

you look young

and extraordinary.

I wonder if you're married.

Enough.

Come out now.

You sneaked out of the Outpost Battalion.

Aren't you afraid of the military rules?

Half of the troops are transferred from the Outpost Battalion,

and will depart with the army tomorrow.

That's why I'm here

to entertain you.

Did you carve it yourself?

Of course.

I think

I'll open a wooden workshop

after the war.

What do you think?

Can I get rich?

Not bad.

Not bad?

Just not bad?

This is mine...

It's already mine.

Don't take it back.

It’s you!

Mu Nan suspects me.

You suspect me too?

Am I that kind of person?

You're right.

I'm your boss.

If you ruin me,

you'll have nothing to gain here.

Although you may not respect me

because I'm a woman,

You don't have to report me.

You think so?

What else can I think?

I never mean to

disrespect you

just because you're a woman.

I don't believe it.

All Men and women have hands.

They fight the world with their own skills.

Why can't women

lead troops?

Do you really think this way?

Of course.

If I were you,

I wouldn't believe the rumors.

I'll talk to the Emperor directly.

Who is talking nonsense here?

Father.

Marshal.

Your name is Chen Yan?

Marshal.

Do you still remember me?

Just because you're new here,

and you've gained some merits,

How dare you talk nonsense here?

Marshal,

I think

the military camp is the fairest place.

We don't judge anyone

by background and gender.

We sacrifice

our lives.

Anyone can make achievements.

If the Gu City Army is not like that,

then I

come to the wrong place.

How dare you say this

in front of me?

Tell me, how should I punish you?

Father.

Chen Yan didn't mean

to contradict you.

Please don't blame him.

What you said just now

is true?

Marshal.

I'm sincere.

Fine.

I'll let you redeem yourself

and be the vanguard of the west side attack

to assist General Cao in the battle.

Hurry up and thank the Marshal.

He gave you a chance to make contributions.

Thank you, Marshal.

All right, you may leave.

Wait.

I can't go to the battlefield tomorrow.

Kill more Jinghe soldiers for me.

Father.

I was wrong.

I let you down.

Tell me then.

How do you

let father down?

I was too naive.

I thought it was too simple.

Since I came to Gu City,

I've been making mistakes

and disgraced you.

But do you know

why you made a mistake?

Maybe

women shouldn't join the army.

Do you

really mean it?
