[Gone with the Rain]

[Adapted from the novel "Gone with the Rain" by Ni Luo]

[Episode 31]

Did you drink again last night?

You haven't slept well these two days.

You shouldn't have drunk.

You're likely to get a headache from that.

You might have facial distortion issues,

or even worst, you'll be bleeding lethally from seven orifices.

If you want to accomplish your wish,

you should take care of your body.

What are you laughing about?

All right, got it.

From now on,

I'll take care of myself.

It's rare that you speak so gently.

You're so fierce to me,

and you threaten me whenever you have a chance.

You, too.

You're a paper tiger.

What's wrong with me?

Hurry up.

Be quick.

Hurry up.

Move.

Faster.

[Qingzhou City] Faster.

Be quick.

Careful.

Faster.

What has happened?

General.

The encampment in Yihua is attacking us.

[Qingzhou City]

What a massive troop.

Wan Jiagui obtained support from Zhong Yuqi

and managed to rally 10,000 armies.

What you see now

is merely the vanguard.

10,000 armies?

Why?

Are you hoping for these troops to tear me into pieces,

so that you can reunite with your lover?

Why do you get jealous when it comes to Wan Jiagui?

Jealous my foot.

I just want to remind you

that though Wan Jiagui is leading a massive army here,

they are just useless small fish.

If you're expecting Wan Jiagui to take you away from me,

I'm afraid it's not going to happen.

You're quite confident in yourself.

My soldiers and I have gone through a lot together.

As long as we unite, nothing can defeat us.

As for Wan Jiagui,

his soldiers are rallied from different troops

with different masters.

They're vulnerable.

You sound so proud.

But it was he who drove you out of Jingzhou City.

I won't waste my breath on you.

You know nothing.

Victory and defeat are common in warfare.

I may not understand military arts.

But I know this battle is more dangerous than the last one.

You were lucky to escape from Jingzhou City unharmed last time.

But if you lose Qingzhou this time...

What's wrong with me?

Why am I worried about Chen Wende?

Enough.

You've seen everything now.

You should fulfill your duties as the General's wife.

Come with me.

What do you want?

Pervert.

Lecher.

What are you going to do to me in broad daylight?

Go to the brothel if you wish.

Don't mess with me.

You're my wife, what's the problem with you serving me?

But you promised me that you wouldn't force me.

When did I make that promise?

I don't want to force you.

But I've realized

that you're so clueless about being my wife.

This is your duty as a General's wife.

What do you mean?

Don't tell me you can't make socks.

This is the basic skill, though.

Who should I make the socks for?

For my soldiers.

When they wear the socks your make, they can feel the warmth

within and be united to defeat the enemy.

Are you crazy?

You must be in the wrong mind and start talking nonsense.

No, my dear.

I feel spirited and clear-minded.

There are 50,000 soldiers under your command.

You want me to make socks for all of them?

You might as well kill me.

Don't talk about that.

It's ominous.

Don't say that again.

Our good days are still awaiting us.

Cut the crap.

Please do it now.

What are you laughing about?

Your needlework skill

is truly exceptional.

How dare you mock me?

There are over 40,000 armies under your command,

which means there are over 40,000 pairs of socks to work on.

Even if I do six stitches on each pair every day,

it'll still exhaust me.

This is the duty of a General's wife.

Or do you prefer to serve your husband?

Xiaowu.

Take these socks to the side room.

I'll sleep there tonight.

Yes.

Why?

Do you want to avoid me again?

It's not that I'm worried about what you do to me.

The workload of making socks truly tortures me.

If you can't finish them today,

you can continue tomorrow.

Besides, it helps to portray your devotion.

You can also ask the maids...

Drats.

I almost fell into her trap.

You can lead

the maids

to embroider the socks together.

But there are only eight maids in the entire residence.

If so, you only have to do one-eighth of the work.

Take your time.

You will finish it at last.

It's late now.

Get rest early.

Fengyao.

Wan Jiagui.

You're

so sharp-tongued.

You look cute only when you're sleeping.

[Qingzhou City]

[Wan]

They appear aggressive.

Let me see

how capable they are.

- Kill! - Kill!

Where's Moxi?

She's sleeping.

Sleeping?

As laid-back as always.

She got tired with just a little embroidery work.

She's getting so spoiled.

Because you've hampered her so much.

Impressive.

Flanking tactics.

My soldiers

are all valiant.

Wan Jiagui intends to bring us down with his massive army,

as if!

General.

The result of this battle...

We're going to win.

Soldiers!

Fight with all your might!

Are you serious?

Of course.

Men in my hometown have three or four wives.

You?

You said the same thing last time.

You lost again.

Come on, bring it to me.

Let's have another round.

One more round.

Big. I bet on Big.

- Big. - Big.

Are you gambling here?

Remove this.

Leave now.

Let's eat.

Yes, let's eat.

Faster.

Where are you going?

General Wan.

Rest easy.

Go ahead.

General.

A few of the leaders from the reinforcement

were drinking in the city.

They've been messing around and harassing ladyfolk.

This is ridiculous.

The situation is tense.

How dare they act like that after we lost the battle today.

Miss Fengyao.

It's nippy late at night.

Please take care of yourself, General.

You've been busy day and night.

You look exhausted.

I can't help much.

So, I made some chicken broth and sent it to your camp just now.

Please drink it before you sleep.

Thank you for the effort.

If we want to rescue Moxi,

the army must be well-coordinated

and rules must be implemented.

You're worried about this, aren't you?

Judging from your expression,

you must think that a woman like me knows nothing about military arts.

I only came across a few when I read books.

Though I can't go on the battlefield to fight,

I do know a little

about military arts.

Are you here

to enlighten me today?

I wouldn't say that.

It's just my humble view.

General, have you heard

about the allegory of Sun Bin training the palace attendants of Emperor Wu?

Are you suggesting that I can learn from Sun Bin

to implement rules and execute people who violate them

to rectify the army?

The armies are of different origins

and the generals don't have shared goals.

If the soldiers aren't well-coordinated,

no one will obey the military orders.

To flip this situation,

you must start with rectifying military discipline.

But by doing so,

you might offend the forces

behind those reinforcement troops.

It might bring harm to your military career.

I was told that you're a talented woman.

I didn't expect you to have such insights.

But you've underestimated me.

You don't have to provoke me like this.

I just want to rescue Moxi as soon as possible.

So my thoughts might be aggressive.

If you think what I said is reasonable, you can implement it

in a softer way.

Never show hesitation in the face of the enemy.

Even if the method has some hazards,

I can't afford to consider them now.

He's gambling over his career.

Even if he wins,

his future reputation

won't be as good as before.

Where's my wife?

Go and get rest.

You're back so early.

That Wan daren't fight us.

It's not fun.

What again?

It's been a busy day.

I deserve some reward from you.

Don't slack off.

The weather is turning cold.

Why do you keep demanding me to fan you and make socks?

Listen up.

If you go overboard, I'll...

What?

I'll quit.

You have so many people in this mansion.

Why are you picking on me?

You have been giving me an attitude

when I make these demands.

What's on your mind?

Do you still think about that loser?

Why must you bring Wan Jiagui up this often?

I've never seen someone

who likes to demean himself like you do.

You...

As long as you know who your husband is.

If that brat

wants to steal my wife,

it's not going to happen.

By the way,

bring those socks

and come with me.

What do you want again?

I'm going to patrol the encampment.

Thank you, Madam.

General said

Madam made these socks for you as a reward.

Line up, everyone.

Thank you, Madam.

Thank you, Madam.

I'm getting one too?

Madam, your needlework skill is exceptional.

We're very honored to wear them.

Am I right?

Exactly.

It's our honor.

Rightfully so.

Look at you, brats.

You get carried away

because of the socks Madam made for you.

After we put on the socks made by Madam,

we shall devote our loyalties.

The lotus embroidery symbolizes blessings in Buddhism

to ensure you return safely with a victory.

- Safe and victory! - Safe and victory!

- Safe and victory! - Safe and victory!

Knowing that General and Madam regard us highly,

we must commit ourselves

to fight the enemies once we're on the battlefield

and return triumphant.

- Return triumphant! - Return triumphant!

Good.

You must return triumphant.

Brats.

Wash your feet clean before you wear the socks.

Wash your feet clean.

What's wrong?

You're such a liar.

I didn't lie.

The lotus embroidery does carry the blessing of protection.

But you said I made those myself

and they were moved after hearing that.

That's not what I intend to do.

Why did you mislead them?

The soldiers are in the face of a fierce battle

and these socks can boost their morale.

Why not?

You and the maids should work harder.

We have to make more?

Of course.

Millions of soldiers are waiting.

General.

Why do you insist on forcing Madam to do the embroidery?

I just want to scare her.

The workload is too much for her alone.

I just want to keep her busy,

so that she won't think of running away

and missing that guy.

But I think you're avenging yourself.

Besides, Madam won't compromise if you're hard on her.

The more you force her, the angrier she will be.

She doesn't like me, anyway.

Nothing will happen for me, no matter how I tick her off.

Go ahead and distribute the socks.

Yes.

Well done.

Military morale is boosted

and the coordination has improved a lot.

Everyone, go and take a rest.

Dismissed.

General Wan, you executed the reinforcement soldiers on your own accord.

Your conduct will affect their morale.

Aren't you afraid that I'll impeach you?

They violated military discipline,

so I punished them accordingly.

What have I done wrong about it?

General Wan, you took hold of the military.

Despite this, I must remind you

that even though you executed over twenty soldiers

to discipline them,

you've offended many other powers as well.

You might end up being ostracized in the court afterward.

As long as the traitors can be eradicated,

I'm willing to face any consequences.

You enforce military discipline by executing soldiers.

This is not a cure but a poison to the problem.

Though it seems effective in the short run,

you'll never be a match for Chen Wende.

Take it or leave it.

You shall see the repercussions soon.

We're never on the same page.

Please leave, Commander.

I'll remind you again.

The war has come to a standstill,

and many of our armies have perished.

You don't have much time left.

Sound the war drum.

I'll fight them myself.

Kill!

It's you.

General Wan.

An inept general

can only lead his armies into dire straits.

They're just a sorry bunch of good-for-nothings

despite the number.

Retreat!

What are you doing here?

Don't you know what I want?

Quiet.

What's wrong with your arm?

Did you get slayed?

I got hit by an arrow.

Is it serious?

You've been in many wars.

Why were you so careless?

Besides, you're the chief general.

Why did you go to the battlefield yourself?

You're asking for your death.

The arrow was launched by your loved one.

You're mooning over him.

Isn't this good news for you?

Can you be in your right mind?

I never wish you to get hurt.

What's the situation in the battle?

Even you got injured.

If I lose,

are you returning to Wan Jiagui?

I'm serious about this.

Quit your endless jealousy.

Are you the King of Jealousy?

Did I say it wrongly?

To you, I'm the villain who separated you two.

If I'm defeated, both of you can come back together again.

If Wan Jiagui loses the battle,

he might face punishment and be removed from his post, at worst.

But if you're defeated, you'll lose your life.

Why bother fighting if you don't have confidence?

Why bother fighting

if I don't have confidence?

Well said.

I like this.

Those are words of wisdom.

They should be copied a thousand times

and show to those governors.

You're right.

If I'm defeated,

I'll lose my life.

Although I was hit by an arrow today,

our army achieved victory.

While Wan Jiagui and his armies are badly defeated.

That's satisfying, anyway.

I wonder how the army from the court is doing now.

Everyone belongs to the same origin.

But after the war,

many have perished.

Yes, we're from the same origin,

but we're forced to fight each other.

However, Wan Jiagui is fine.

A handsome general like him with a little scratch

can actually provoke sympathy from women like you.

But he's in trouble this time.

He kept being defeated, and he's likely to be punished.

Zhong Yuqi is a heartless man.

He won't go easy on Wan Jiagui.

I'm thirsty.

I'm going to take a sip.

Why does he give me an attitude?

Did I rub him the wrong way?

How strange.

I'm not afraid of him at all.

But why am I upset now every time I quarrel with him?

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

General Wan managed to hurt Chen Wende this time.

It seems that our victory is right around the corner.

Sir.

We wouldn't know that.

I'm afraid things won't go the way you think.

The army feels demoralized

and we keep losing in the battle.

Plus, our provision of weapons and goods are running short.

We can't keep doing this.

Otherwise, we'll lose the war.

Why makes you say that?

Wang Yi.

What date is today?

It's almost the Start of Winter.

I haven't received any news for a long while.

Even Heaven isn't on my side.

What news?

[xxx]

Heaven is in our favor now.

We're going to win the war.

Does Prime Minister Wu have a plan?

General.

You haven't taken anything this whole day.

I can't eat.

News from the court

said that I've lost in every fight

and the army force is exhausted.

If this keeps going on,

I'm afraid this won't end well.

General.

Commander Wu is here again.

I'm not meeting her.

I have a plan to deal with Chen Wende.

Why do you come in uninvited, Commander Wu?

We're in hot water.

Stop nitpicking, General.

The defeats don't seem to have broken your spirit.

Do you come here late at night

just to mock me?

Of course not.

What do you want?

I can't tell you.

Something will happen in a few days.

Allow me to direct the 10,000 armies by then.

If you don't make yourself clear,

I'm not going to cooperate with you.

That's classified for the Wu family.

Outsiders shouldn't know about this.

Are you afraid of death?

Yes.

If you keep hiding this from me,

I'm entitled to behead you per the military rules.

But I'm more afraid of the clan rules of the Wu family.

I don't care what the Wu family is orchestrating.

Mark my words.

10,000 armies are rallied to seize the traitor.

They're not the tool for the Wu family's conspiracy.

If I find out you're plotting some scheme

that bring harm to the court and people,

I'll behead you even at the expense of facing punishment.

I take you up on that.

Li.

See him off.

General Wan, please look forward

to what's going to happen next.

Send someone to keep an eye on him.

I shall see what the Wu family is after.

Yes.

How's it?

Wan Jiagui refused to cooperate with me.

What should we do now?

Aside from Longxiang Army,

there are armies from different states here.

If Wan Jiagui turns down the collaboration,

how should we claim the iron ore mine for the marquis

when we win the war?

I won't let that happen.

If he turns us down, he should stand down from his position.

But he's the General.

There are more officials who have higher ranks than him.

If that does work, the Emperor will step in.

What have I done to offend you?

You're giving me an attitude every day.

General.

Xiaowu.

I'll be back soon.

Examine all the documents over here.

If there's nothing nothing, distribute them.

Yes.

Madam.

General hasn't been in a good mood these days.

Do you know the reason?

He's mad at me again.

No wonder he has been icing me out these days.

I'm sure you've noticed

his feelings for you.

Even a stone would have warmed up by now,

let alone a human heart.

It's fine if you still can't accept him now.

But why do you keep making him angry?

How would I know why he's mad?

Anyway, he's unpredictable and moody.

Don't blame me for that.

General treats you wholeheartedly.

However, he can't feel anything

from you.

That's why he's moody.

Are you suggesting that he minds who I care about?

I'm just talking nonsense.

You need not take it seriously, Madam.

I've examined all the documents.

I have something else to attend to.

I shall take my leave.

Why is he hiding his words?

Does he expect me to guess?

Does Chen Wende get jealous

because he really means it?

Here, have some water.

General.

General.

General.

Sit, everyone.

General.

The ailing craftsmen all have terrible complexion,

feel weak, and have intermittent seizures.

Their bodies are feverish, but it doesn't look like the cold.

How long have the symptoms been present?

Three days.

The military physician came over,

but he couldn't diagnose the cause.

The symptoms broke out three days ago.

How many people are inflicted?

It was only five people three days ago.

Hitherto,

there are over thirty of them.

The few of them here just got afflicted lately.

Over thirty.

Chen Li.

Get all the physicians here from the city.

Yes, General.

Go now.

Please sit down.

Sit down.

Thank you, Sir.

Careful.

Be careful.

Drink some water.

Here.

I wonder how Wan Jiagui is doing now.

Chen Wende is cocky.

If he has hurt Wan Jiagui seriously, he would brag about it.

Since he hasn't mentioned anything,

Wan Jiagui is probably in a good piece.
