[Beauty of Resilience]

[Episode 21]

I was too naïve.

I thought it was simple.

Since I came to Gu City,

I've been making mistakes

and disgracing you.

But do you know

why you made so many mistakes?

Maybe

women shouldn't come into the army.

Do you

mean it?

It's normal to make mistakes.

People make mistakes.

This

has nothing to do with gender.

A person's success

can't be easily achieved.

We learn

and grow up

through series of mistakes.

I've made countless mistakes

in my army life.

But

there is one thing

I can't be wrong about.

That is

I'm not wrong about my daughter.

Remember,

whether it's in the Gu City

or back to the capital,

as long as I'm here,

you don't have to be afraid of anything.

General Cao.

Is there anything wrong?

Black Wind Castle attacked our army on the west road.

It's understandable

that they're off guard.

But on our way here,

we haven't even seen a solider

on the high ground.

Something is wrong.

General Cao,

you worry too much.

Now the arrow is on the string,

we can't

hesitate anymore.

Kill!

[Jing]

Charge!

No one's here. What's going on?

[Jing]

Oh no.

Ambush!

[Jing]

[Jing]

Protect the general!

Alert!

[Jing]

[Jing]

[Gu City]

[Sima]

Report!

Marshal,

the feign attack on the middle road

has failed.

[Jing]

[Sima]

Report!

Report!

General Cao is ambushed

and is now besieged.

There are nearly 10,000 Jinghe army on the west road.

Mu Nan.

How many soldiers are there

in our camp?

General,

there are

about 1,500 soldiers in the Gu City's camp.

Father.

Wangyue.

The Western Army was ambushed

and trapped in Black Wind Castle.

I now order you to help them out

and bring the army back safely.

Father,

I won't let you down.

[Jing]

[Jing]

Chen Yan.

Are you okay?

Move.

[Jing]

Retreat!

Go.

Hang in there.

Marshal.

Marshal.

[Wei]

Commander! Commander!

Commander! Commander!

Commander! Commander!

[Wei]

You suspect Cao?

I thought

it shouldn't be him.

But in the battle at Xifeng Stronghold,

he proposed

the tactics of feint attack on the west road.

But what happened?

The enemy came prepared.

We've been together for so many years.

I shouldn't have said this.

But this time,

if the commander hadn't arrived in time,

I'm afraid we'd be wiped out.

Cao

is indeed short-tempered

and has a sharp tongue.

But for so many years,

he has been loyal

to Weicang.

Why would he betray the country?

Marshal,

I've been hiding it

in my heart

that I dare not say.

Tell me.

That day,

I drank with him.

When I was drunk,

I accidentally revealed

the fact that Commander was a woman.

Rumor spread in the army then

and even made the old soldiers resent her.

I'm afraid

that Cao thought

the Princess

was stealing his achievements and fame

and got carried away.

But

it's the crime of treason.

Without solid evidence,

we can't draw a conclusion.

You are right.

Qi,

if

you don't have anything else,

you can go back now.

Yes.

Chen Yan,

I value you so much.

But how did you treat me?

You traitor!

Traitor Chen Yan!

I knew

you had an evil intention.

You've betrayed our sincerity.

You deserve to die.

Who are you?

Since you said you didn't betray our country,

raise your sword

and prove your sincerity.

Kill her.

Chen Yan.

Let me help you.

No!

[Gu City]

Wangyue!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We finally have food.

Thank you.

Next.

Kid, wait.

Here.

Take it.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Next.

Thank you.

Take care.

Thank you.

Here.

Take it.

Next.

I'll leave you to it.

Okay.

You haven't recovered yet. Why did you come out?

Look at you.

Which wound do you refer to?

The injury Mu Nan

left on my arm

or the heartache

you caused me by locking me up?

I mean

the leg injury for you protecting

on the battlefield.

Leg injury?

It's serious.

I'm afraid I may be disabled

for the rest of my life.

What should we do?

You saved me so many times.

I don't know

how to repay you.

Yes.

It's really hard to repay.

How about

marrying me?

I was just kidding.

Forget it if you don't want to.

Who said I didn't want to?

Take a walk with me.

I...

Let's go.

No.

I can walk by myself.

Then go by yourself.

So many people are watching.

I'll lose face.

Slow down.

How do you feel?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Let me see.

No.

It's inappropriate.

Why not?

This wound is disgusting.

I'm not afraid.

We live

in this world full of pain.

You should see ugly things

as little as you can.

That's not like you.

Really?

Maybe it's because

I'm crippled.

To be honest,

I always feel

there must be a lot of things

behind your glib tongue.

Don't worry. I won't ask you.

Everyone has

something they don't want others to know

or to mention.

Some are beautiful.

Some are painful.

Just like the bud

is wrapped inside a flower.

That doesn't feel like

what you say normally either.

Traitor Chen Yan,

I knew

you had an evil intention.

You've wasted our sincerity.

You deserve to die.

What are you thinking?

I...

I was thinking

why there was a war.

To protect our country, of course.

Really?

Every warrior in Gu City

that passed away

sacrificed their lives

to protect the people of Weicang.

Yes.

Who doesn't have a country

and who

doesn't have a home?

If the enemy hadn't known

our plan,

the battle wouldn't be

such a mess.

I must find out

the informant,

put his head in public

and then strike back.

I'll avenge the soldiers

with victory.

Yes.

The day you want

will come.

General Cao.

I have something to discuss with Marshal.

Please report.

Marshal is asleep.

So early?

If you have something urgent,

I can send the message for you.

There's nothing urgent.

I'll come back tomorrow.

Tell Marshal.

Yes.

[Wei]

Marshal,

you summoned me back

to Gu City from the frontline.

What's the matter?

The other day,

you had a conflict with someone

for Wangyue.

Do you know

whose men those people are?

They are

old soldiers stationed in Gu City

and mostly are General Cao's men.

Marshal.

A letter from the palace.

His Majesty pardoned Wangyue's accusation

of disguising as a man in the army.

Great.

Pass my order.

The banquet will be held in three days.

People above the decurion must attend the banquet.

Also,

all the soldiers in the army

will be rewarded half a catty of meat and a pot of wine.

Yes.

Mu Nan.

I want to write an invitation

to General Cao.

Send it here

as a token of appreciation.

Yes.

Song is here.

Where is the liquor I ordered?

Where is the toilet?

Over there.

You two.

Move the liquor in.

Hurry up.

Old man.

General.

Where is the good liquor I asked you to find?

It's not here.

It's been ten years

and carried from

the best liquor cellar.

Here.

Old man.

If it's not good,

I'll cut off your tongue.

Don't worry.

It's good liquor.

[Liquor]

Brothers,

the battle at Black Wind Castle

was tough.

[Liquor]

As the marshal,

I made a serious

strategic mistake.

I'm sorry for my deceased brothers.

Today,

I'm holding a banquet for the whole army

to first

apologize to the dead brothers

and also thank the soldiers.

Here.

Cheers to all of you.

Cheers.

Cheers.

I

want to ask you a question.

Why did you

join the Gu City Army?

General Qi.

Why?

Tell me.

Fine.

I'm the Number One Scholar of Weicang.

I follow you

to make contributions

and serve the court.

It's my duty to join the army.

Marshal,

a toast to you.

OK.

Wang Wu.

Tell me.

Marshal,

my father and brother were killed by the bandits of Jing.

I just wanted to avenge them.

Marshal,

let me propose a toast to you.

I have no ambition.

I just want to make a living

to support my family.

You're a

responsible man.

That's good.

Marshal,

a toast to you.

Liu.

Tell me.

I...

I joined the army

because they said

the Gu City Army

treated soldiers with meat occasionally.

What's the result?

It turned out

to be better than what they said.

We have meat every day.

Well said.

Maybe you don't know.

In Weicang Army,

only the Gu City Army

is highly valued by His Majesty.

No matter what your purpose was

when you applied to join the army,

don't forget

our original intention.

I hope

from now on,

no matter what ancestral home it is,

no matter the rank,

whether it's a man or a woman,

we must live in harmony,

treat each other sincerely,

never fight with

or intrigue against each other.

Can you do it?

Yes!

Come.

For the Gu City Army.

[Wei]

Move forward

and kill countless enemies.

Cheers!

Cheers!

Today,

His Majesty not only

exempted Wangyue,

but also rewarded her.

So I want

to

give a toast to Wangyue,

not only because

you're my daughter,

but you're also a brave warrior

in Weicang Army.

Commander! Commander!

Your words

made me

feel ashamed.

As your general

for years,

I have to

tell you something.

Today

I must apologize to you.

General Cao.

Get up.

We've been brothers for years.

If you have anything to say,

just

tell me today.

OK?

To be honest,

I was the one

who leaked the news of the Commander's identity as a female.

When Qi told me

you were a woman,

I couldn't be convinced.

I thought it was biased.

So...

So I deliberately spread the news

to embarrass Commander and Marshal.

But I didn't expect

the Commander risked her life

in Black Wind Castle,

and even

saved me

and the soldiers.

I...

Today,

I want to apologize

to Commander and Marshal.

General Cao.

It's all in the past.

Cao.

It's good that you said it.

Do you have anything else to say?

No.

Are you done?

Anything else?

I'm done.

Right.

Also,

I have a jar of good liquor

for you.

This is the ten-year-old liquor in the spring.

Marshal.

Cheers.

Cao,

aren't you

toasting to the wrong person?

Please forgive me.

General Cao.

You don't have to do this.

General Cao.

The commander is not a good drinker.

I'll drink on her behalf.

You...

Mu Nan has been Wangyue's partner

since childhood.

He dotes on her more than I do.

Staff Mu drank it for Commander.

It's the same.

It's the same.

Thank you, General Cao.

This...

Mu Nan.

Mu Nan.

What's wrong with you?

Mu Nan.

The liquor...

Is poisonous.

Cao.

How dare you!

Guards, arrest him!

It has nothing to do with me, Marshal.

Take him away.

Trust me.

Hurry! Call the military doctor!

Marshal! Marshal!

Marshal, it has nothing to do with me.

Doctor, how is it?

General,

the poison in Staff Mu

is a rare poison

known by the Jinghe sorcerers.

If there is no antidote,

he will die.

Besides,

only the poison-maker

can detoxify it.

So there is a saying,

one poison can cure one person.

Stop talking nonsense.

Can we save him?

Sir,

I've done what I should do.

But...

If there is no antidote,

there's nothing I can do.

What do you mean?

He's right here. You...

I know. You may leave.

I'm leaving.

I'm going to kill

that ungrateful bastard.

Wangyue, calm down.

How can I calm down now?

You need to calm down

at this moment.

Ruthlessness

is the first lesson

war has taught you.

It's not the weapon to kill your enemy,

but

the weapon of facing

losing your loved one.

If

you can't even do that,

you don't know

what war is.

I don't want to hear

these principles.

But now,

learn to understand.

Don't you have anything to say?

I didn't poison it.

It wasn't me.

Up to now,

I don't think

you could do such a thing.

Then why did you arrest me?

Why would I poison Commander?

Why?

I don't have to.

The liquor

was supposed to be for me.

Marshal,

why would I poison you

in front of so many people

at the banquet?

Who did you reveal the plan of

Black Wind Castle to

except us?

No. Who could I reveal it to?

You suspect I colluded with the enemy?

Is it Qi?

Qi said it was me, right?

Why didn't you suspect him?

He was there too

when discussing the tactics.

Or do you blame it all

on me

still because of your daughter?

Cao.

Don't talk nonsense.

If you weren't

my peer,

I'd…

What did you do to me?

Punish him.

Kill me.

I'm not afraid of this.

Come on.

Let them come.

If you have any dirty tricks,

do it.

Punish him.

Yes.

[Wei]

Wangyue.

Is it cold

outside today?

Why do I

feel

so cold?

It's freezing.

Have a rest.

I'll get you a quilt.

Wangyue.

Don't go.

Don't leave me alone.

Fine, I won't leave.

I won't leave.

Wangyue.

Don't be sad.

Actually, I think

it's worth it

to have the poisoned liquor

for you.

Don't talk nonsense.

You won't die.

Do you know

what the happiest thing is

in life?

The happiest thing

in life

is not to have money,

or fame and fortune,

but to die

with the most beloved person

by his side.

Stop it, Mu Nan.

I'm afraid

if I don't say it now,

I won't have a chance anymore.

Take a good rest.

Give it to me.

What?

The antidote!

Give me the antidote.

For the sake

of your brotherhood with my father,

I won't give you a hard time.

Otherwise…

When I went to the battlefield,

you were still

unborn.

My father has a bitter hatred

because of your betrayal.

So many brothers on the battlefield

died in vain.

And Mu Nan.

He just wanted to drink for me.

But he was poisoned by you.

Are you taking it out or not?

Nonsense!

Traitor!

Today, I will avenge

for those brothers.

There's always a reason to punish me.

Hit me!

Come on!

You'd better kill me.

I've been working hard

for so many years.

I'm not afraid of the pain.

Come on.

If anything happens to Mu Nan,

I will skin you

and behead you in public.
