We will reclaim victory today!

March with me to high ground and conquer Huofeng Fort

The nine kingdoms are in a time of turmoil, someone has to fight for peace.

We will definitely walcome the day when peace arrives.

Older Sister.

He must have been deceived.

That's why he is falsely accusing Adoptive Father.

But now, where can we still have a chance to kill Lu Shi?

There is a place.

He is finally sleeping.

So cute.

In the future, I also want such a cute boy.

How do you know it's a boy and not a girl?

I prefer girls.

Oh...

Sure.

Bah!

Who wants to have a baby with you?

In the future, be it a son or a daughter, I will adore it the same.

If it's a boy, I will teach him how to ride and hunt.

If it's a daughter, I will also teach her how to ride and hunt.

Why is it always about riding horses and hunting?

Always fighting and killing,

can't you live a peaceful life?

The world is not peaceful.

How can I have a peaceful time?

The world, the world. That's all you know.

Never mind.

My heart is all yours.

[An Ancient Love Song] [Episode 5]

I've told you so much along the way.

Tell me something about you.

Your past and what happened to us?

I can't tell you. Otherwise, the next time when you meet me in the past,

everything you do will be deliberate rather than genuine.

There is something wrong.

Don't move, I'll go check.

Uncle Guo!

Uncle Guo?

Are they from Northern Lie?

How did they know this place?

What's wrong?

Why do I still have memories of being with you?

If our destiny has been changed and you've chosen to stay here this time,

the reversed timeline should have ended.

If you are staying with the present me,

why is it that I still met you in my past?

If there was no cause in the past, how did we have this consequence today?

Just as I wouldn't have obtained the Phoenix Token without you back then.

This means everything is still happening according to the original track.

It's the See Blood Seal Throat Poison. (The latex from the Antiaris toxicaria tree's bark is deadly when it enters the bloodstream)

You are sent by Adoptive Father.

Young fellow.

Why didn't Vice General Yang come in person for such an urgent matter?

Vice General Yang is too busy in the city to get away..

But Head Palace Maid Lu can't ride the horse. Why didn't you prepare a carriage?

Yes, that's right. Vice General Yang especially prepared a carriage.

It's outside the bamboo forest and will be here soon.

Is that so?

Oh no!

Brother Lu!

Don't come out.

Brother Lu, come in quickly.

Don't let them find the child.

Don't cry, Tongchang, don't cry.

Who dares to come over?

Everyone, switch to the crossbows!

Hurry, Vice General Yang, don't let them get away!

This is bad. Withdraw!

A'Shi?

A'Shi!

A'Shi...

A'Shi, talk to me.

Open your eyes and look at me.

This can't be true.

Don't prank me.

A'Shi!

Don't scare me.

A'Shi!

A'Shi! A'Shi!

A'Shi!

A'Shi!

- Yi Hua. - You don't need to say anything.

I understand.

I won't let anyone find him.

Damn those Northern Lie barbarians.

They actually applied the See Blood Seal Throat Poison on the arrowheads.

So despicable!

Is it the Poison Arrow Tree that's written in the books?

It grows in the south.

The people in Northern Lie don't use it much.

On the contrary, it's used mostly by people from Great Sheng.

Envoy Shen, you mean...

Lu Shi already took his armor off, and he was not wearing the Tiger and Leopard mask.

The people from Northern Lie wouldn't have recognized him.

Besides, how did they know this is Lu Shi's old home?

Could it be...

It's that spy!

What spy?

Yes. A few hours ago, a man was spreading news in the city that General Lu had died.

He also lit the signal fire.

The scouts reported Northern Lie's Wind Catcher Camp was making a comeback.

That's why we came to find General Lu.

But I did not expect...

The Wind Catcher Camp? Why is it the Wind Catcher Camp again?

It's Yuwen Poxiao.

Exactly.

This man is cunning, suspicious, and vicious.

Northern Lie has made a comeback.

Without General Lu, I'm afraid there is no chance of winning at all.

I think we should retreat first.

Fan Laobie, how can you be so cowardly?

What do you mean by retreating first?

If Northern Lie defeats Western Rong, to recapture Huofeng Fort will be as difficult as flying to the sky.

As I see it, we should stay and defend to wait for Prime Minister Li's troops to rescue us.

Li Yong is heading here with his troops?

Yes.

Prime Minister Li was originally here to reward the army, so he happened to bring troops from Caiyun Outskirts.

Without our commanding general,

the Tiger and Leopard Camp is now in disarray and has no morale. How do we fight?

Calm down, everyone.

The top priority is to rush back to Huofeng Fort.

Envoy Shen,

you tell us. Should we retreat or defend?

No.

We neither retreat nor defend.

Take the initiative.

Head Palace Maid Lu,

why are you as impulsive as Yang Paozhang?

The murderer who killed Lu Shi is someone else.

We will never let him succeed.

I'll ask you for the last time.

How did you know about General Lu's death?

Our assassins from Northern Lie only wield lethal strikes.

That stupid God of War?

He is nothing but a loser at our hands.

Northern Lie barbarian, I'll kill you!

Wait!

You have been exposed.

Northern Lie people cherish their hair like their lives.

Vice General Yang cut off your hair just now.

Why didn't it bother you?

Because you are from Sheng!

The one who ordered the killing of Lu Shi is also from Sheng.

According to you,

aren't you Sheng people destroying your own fortress?

When Lu Shi was just shot by arrows, the news of his death had already spread throughout Huofeng Fort.

Northern Lie's reinforcement troops happen to make a comback at this time.

Also at this time, the troops from Caiyun Outskirts are also under someone's command

to rush toward Huofeng Fort.

Where in the world are there so many coincidences?

Because everything in someone's plan.

He wants to seize the military authority over the Tiger and Leopard Camp.

You mean...

Did you know this?

We found several bodies by Nameng Lake.

One of them looked a lot like you.

Was he one of your fellow assassins?

He was not killed by Lu Shi.

Instead, he died of the See Blood Seal Throat Poison.

Those involved in the assassination were all killed.

You know that Li Yong has always been ruthless and would never leave potential threats.

You are talking nonsense, my teacher... He...

Teacher?

You deceived me.

It is really Li Yong.

How could it be? I didn't expect Li Yong to be the traitor!

Reporting! Bad news.

The Northern Lie troops are quickly approaching Huofeng Fort.

- Vice General Yang, please continue the interrogation with Head Palace Maid Lu. - Yes.

Vice General Fan, it's almost dawn. Let's deploy outside the city first.

We must repel Yuwen Poxiao and stop Li Yong from seizing the military authority over the Camp.

Yes.

Prime Minister, Captain Yuwen is already on his way.

Good. When they are in fight, we will rush to Huofeng Fort.

Prime Minister, now that Lu Shi is dead, we have achieved our goal.

Why do we bother to take so much more effort?

You Northern Lie people call Lu Shi the God of War.

But, ultimately, he is only a human made of flesh and blood.

It's not enough to get rid of Lu Shi.

What I really want is the military authority over the entire Tiger and Leopard Camp.

So I see.

Prime Minister is truly thoughtful with foresight.

From now on, our two countries will be one family.

Who is one family with you?

You are from Northern Lie.

I am from Sheng.

It will never change.

There is still a long way to go.

By the way,

when we get back to Jlangdu, let me serve by your side as a bodyguard.

It's convenient for us to exchange intelligence.

At the critical time, I can also protect your life.

As you wish.

Remember to clean up all the spies I cast out.

Get him something to eat.

Reporting! Bad news!

The people in the fort are gathering at the city gate and clamoring to open the gate to escape.

Folks, let's escape!

Northern Lie troops are coming!

Run! Hurry and run!

General Lu is dead!

The imperial court won't help us!

- Whoever stands in our way wants us to die. - Everyone, go back!

Why don't we grab their weapons?

If we have weapons,

at least we can protect ourselves when we run.

Go back! Go back!

Quick!

The Northern Lie's troops haven't come yet,

the city has become such a chaotic mess.

What do we do now?

Open the city gate!

The imperial court won't help us!

Folks, hurry up!

Open the city gate!

Let us out!

Open the city gate!

He is dead!

He is dead!

Folks.

The imperial court will not abandon us.

This man is a spy from Northern Lie.

He tried to cause a panic to make us panic and fall apart.

Northern Lie's spy?

Didn't we win the battle?

Why are there still Northern Lie's men?

But what he said is also true.

We are waiting here to die.

How can we beat so many Northern Lie barbarians?

Yes, that's right.

Don't be afraid, everyone.

I will definitely defend Huofeng Fort.

I won't allow any Northern Lie barbarians step in here again.

Who are you?

How can a mere woman make such a boast?

I am General Lu's older sister.

Please believe me.

You are General Lu's sister, not General Lu.

What's the use of trusting you? Who do you think you are?

Yes, that's right.

The Emperor is far away in Jiangdu and doesn't care about us.

As I see it, it's better to rush out of this city gate. At least there's a chance for survival.

Yes, let's get out!

Let us out!

Let us out!

When the time comes, you'll be hiding here.

Do what I taught you earlier.

Reporting!

Bad news. The people want to force their way out of the city.

They are fighting with the soldiers defending the city.

It's as expected.

When King Bei'an was alive, the imperial court already abandoned them once.

Now, there are no royal members here. The people must think the imperial court will abandon them.

Now, there are no royal members here. The people must think

the imperial court will abandon them.

- Oh no! - Envoy Shen! Envoy Shen!

In the fifth year of Yuanqi, court lady Lu Yuan seduced and captivated the emperor. She was extremely favored

and eventually held the Phoenix Token and became Empress.

♫ Light a candle to accompany endless thoughts ♫

I understand

once I make this choice, I will end up like Lu Shi.

I am doomed to die tragically some day in the future.

But, in fact, this choice was already made five years ago.

I don't regret it nor will I escape from it.

Nevertheless,

while locked inside the inner palace, I still can't help but hope

His Majesty would regain his sanity someday,.

We would wipe out Li Yongyi's faction and recover Great Sheng's lost lands.

And then, you and I would settle down by Nameng Lake,

returning to the home we once had

to live a carefree life in the countryside.

But, in the end, it's all an illusion

like a fleeting dream. (Phoenix Token)

Let us out!

Let us out!

I am the Empress of Great Sheng.

This is my Phoenix Token as proof.

The pain of losing a brother, the enmity in seeking revenge, and the responsibility to the homeland.

Any of them seems be more important than our love.

It appears I can never stop you from becoming Empress Lu.

General Lu was unfortunately murdered by a traitor.

But Great Sheng will never give up on any of you.

I am here.

The Tiger and Leopard Camp is here.

We will advance and retreat with you, to live or die together.

Really? Is that true?

She is the Empress.

No matter it's true or false, she has an imposing style.

Long live the Empress for a thousand years and more!

Envoy Shen, kneel down.

Greetings to the Empress!

Long live the Empress!

Shen Buyan,

don't you see this fate clearly yet?

Nothing can be changed.

Why do you bother to persist?

Lu Yuan, no matter what our destiny is,

I'll only remember what I said that day.

I will stay here with you to face all difficulties and obstacles together until we defeat Li Yong.

I shall not break my promise.

Long live the Empress a thousand years and more.

Soldiers, listened to my order!

Prepare to fight the enemy!

Yes!

Stop.

[Lie]

What kind of tricks are these two Sheng people playing?

Captain, we have been waiting here for a long time.
