[The Inextricable Destiny]

[Episode 24]

Rong Yu.

Once we get on the official road,

His Majesty and I will need
to travel day and night.

You're a fortuneteller.
There's no need for you to hurry.

I've arranged for you to trail behind
with the supplies and forage.

I don't need that.

That was an order.

I'm a fortuneteller,

not your soldier.

You…

I'm saying please.

Young master.

Young master, I'm late.

In the third year of Chengyuan, the young
Emperor personally led the expedition

and after three months of fierce battle,
four cities were retrieved.

Both sides suffered heavy losses
and rested for several days.

When I was at my wits' end,

I heard the clicking sounds of hooves

breaking the silence of the night.
General Yan led his troops

and charged out from the gorge,

which crushed the souls
of those Xunnan soldiers.

They only managed to hold on
for less than 15 minutes

before leaving everything

and running away.

I later found out

that there weren't that many people at all.

800 soldiers shouted as loud as they could

and sounded like 8000 soldiers.

It was Rong Yu's idea.

Chengbi, bring some wine.

Tell me.

Why?

Why would she like Rong Yu?

I don't know.

You don't know?

I don't.

Who would believe

that someone would love an idiot

and give up everything for him?

I can't believe I lost to an idiot.

Your Majesty.

Let's return to Xunnan.

We won't win.

The He family was wiped out.

There are no generals in Jialin.

With the Regent rebelling,
this is the perfect timing.

We must fight.

All we did was lose some cities to Jialin.

Why do you all think I can't make a comeback?

Why can't win this world

and take away my girl?

You keep telling me to return to Xunnan.

You work for me, not He Jiuling.

Do you think they are the perfect match?

I've never thought that way.

It's Rong Yu.

The master of the Astrology Pavilion, he…

He is strange.

Strange how?

Where did this handsome god come from?

There's a raging war. You should have chosen
a better place to descend to earth.

With your looks, ordinary merchandise
cannot match you.

I'm trying to find a gift.
The warmer, the better.

Once we cross this threshold,

everything will be safe and sound.

Once we endure this disaster,

every inch of land in Jialin

will be ours again.

He Jiuling.

What do you want to do

when the war in Nanjiang is over?

I will appoint you as the general.

Like your father, the Great General.

I will kill whoever opposes that.

You can do it too.

You shall strut freely in the capital,

defend yourself,

and be the little overlord again.

No, I won't be a general,

nor will I be an overlord.

After I've cleared my family's name,

I'll go back to the small house I bought

in the town of Nanjiang.

Won't you stay in the capital?

What about Rong Yu?

I know you still have feelings for him.

If you leave,

it will be the real end for you two.

When I was in Mount Wuhua, I was a loser.

I wasn't good at martial arts
or medicine making.

But now, I've learned a lot.

So the feelings for someone

will be forgettable if you try hard enough.

Is that so? I feel like you are taking
advantage of my lack of experience

and making things up.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, there's been a report.

Advisor Rong was kidnapped
from a shop in Nanjiang city.

By whom exactly?

I'm not sure. Only a token was left.

Rong Yu.

Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?

You won't.

Naive.

I am an old and cruel woman.

You could have killed me,

but instead, I was kidnapped.

You're quite smart.

They say you've been out of your mind
for five years, and only just got better.

If you recognize me, you might as well
tell me what you want.

What do I want?

You don't need to go back
to He Jiuling anymore.

From now on, you will follow me.

You know He Jiuling?

Didn't my unworthy disciple mention me to you?

Unworthy disciple?

Now I know who you are.

That's good.

Since you've already married my disciple,

and resigned from your position
as the Master of the Astrology Pavilion,

just forget about the past.

From now on, you are one of us at Mount Wuhua.

- Madam.
- Talk less.

Follow me.

Madam.

Shut up.

I can't stand you people
from the Astrology Pavilion.

You cast the most venomous divinations
and behave in the evilest ways.

You're clearly cursing me in your heart,

yet you call me Madam.

Enough with the hypocrisy, I'm not buying it.

- That's not true.
- Just be quiet.

Follow me.

I told you to follow me.

Do you not want to join Mount Wuhua,

and become my disciple's husband?

Alright then, I'll go settle
the score with He Jiuling.

It's Master.

I've never met anyone as difficult as you.

It would take you three months

to go up Mount Wuhua. I'm tired.

We're heading to Mount Wuhua?

Let's go.

Why are you so cold?

You're already cold before I've done anything.

Your body is freezing.

Are you made of paper?

Take this.

This pill looks very precious.
I can't accept it.

Of course, it's precious.

It took three months
to refine this Rejuvenation Pill.

If I could have healed
you with cheaper medicine,

I wouldn't have given you this. Take it.

Eat it.

Thank you, Madam.

Do you want it back?

I told you to eat it. Eat it!

I'll ask He Jiuling to reimburse me.

My clever disciple.

She won't be the one at a loss.

Why did she choose
such a useless husband like you?

Madam…

Fine.

Let's rest here.

But going back is not an option.

Stay put.

Since it's already decided,

I'll go collect some firewood.

Stay put.

I thought Master would
make it difficult for you.

Guess I was wrong.

If you wanted to find me, just come.

Why put on such a show?

I looked everywhere for you.

I was annoyed.

My proud disciple from Mount Wuhua

stooped so low as to marry
a stinking man from the Astrology Pavilion.

Couldn't you have found someone better?

Marrying someone from the Astrology Pavilion
is one thing,

but you chose the worst one.

You really failed

my teachings all these years.

I'm not related to him anymore.

What do you mean?

We're divorced. We're no longer a couple.

You. Why didn't you say
you were not a couple earlier?

I was going to.

But you didn't want to hear it.

What?

Eat something even if you're angry.

Although this was cooked…

- by… by you.
- I won't eat it.

No. What are you doing?

I'm so pissed off.

Ling, I know what happened in these years.

It's all in the past.

Alright.

Stop pretending to be tough. I understand.

Some pain

will always be there.

Ever since you went down the mountain,

I have been roaming the world
ignorant of worldly affairs.

I thought your Senior Brother,
had his clever mind and a perceptive heart.

He's good at hiding and planning every step.

And you have the support of your family

and all the skills of Mount Wuhua.

Even if you can be a bit willful,

you will never be at a disadvantage.

I didn't expect that when I
finally heard about you,

it was in such a state.

Master.

Seeing you and your senior brother
fighting with swords and spears

makes me sad too.

So I went to him first.

He was nice to me, yes.

But he is no longer as obedient as before.

As you know,

your Senior Brother has always been stubborn.

Once he is determined on something,

no one can change it.

I came to see you when I couldn't persuade him.

I might be useless,

but it's better than when your
family was in trouble,

and you had to struggle on your own.

How can you be useless?

As long as someone is still thinking of me,

I am very content.

But I…

I got here too late.

Why did you become a female general?

I just want you to be

an innocent little disciple.

You've suffered in these years, Ling.

When you left,

I thought about giving you a miraculous pill

or an amulet to wear.

But then I thought,

I have already given you

the most precious thing in Mount Wuhua.

You know you were born
with a strange early aging disease.

When normal people live for ten years,

you might have already finished this life.

Fortunately, you were destined to meet me.

I took you to Mount Wuhua.

Five years ago, everyone thought
your illness had been cured.

But the truth is, you have been
surviving on medicine.

I used my life's greatest skill

to make a medicine called Pipa Zui.

As long as this medicine is in your body,

whether it's a strange disease,
severe illness, or external injuries,

as long as it doesn't harm your core,

Pipa Zui will heal you at the fastest speed.

Battles are always full of dangers.

This is perhaps the amulet I gave you.

No wonder I could recover
from injuries several times.

Why have you never taught me
the method to make this medicine?

This Pipa Zui can be considered

the king of all medicines.

It needs years of accumulation

and countless heavenly treasures to nourish.

Most importantly, the catalyst
for this medicine has already been lost.

The one I gave you is the only
piece that was successful.

It will not be reproduced in the future.

When you left the mountain, I told you.

I've taught you everything there is to teach.

Now, think about it. I didn't lie, did I?

Yes, it's already in my body.

Well, you have nothing to fear.

Since you're already a general,

become a Goddess of War for me.

Yes.

After several days of hard battle,
the fight for the last city is intense.

Nothing bad will happen, right?

If something happens, what can I do, I…

Report.

Your Majesty, General He has won.
Malan Slope has been retrieved.

Good, I will host a celebration for her.

Ling is fighting hard outside,
and you're here drinking tea.

No wonder Ling doesn't want you.

Why aren't you talking?

I don't have anything to defend myself.

I've never been good at horse-riding,
archery, or spear skills.

That's not my point.

I'm asking why you don't seem to care at all.

If nothing unexpected happens,

it's a victory.

What if something unexpected happens?

Do you have some prejudice

against the Astrology Pavilion?

Let's not talk about prejudice or not.

Are you guys not casting divination anymore?

That's all we can do.

Previously, there was a master of swordsmanship

who also liked to sit
and drink tea with my father.

The master asked my father
the same question you just mentioned.

And?

She was one of the best masters out there,

almost without any opponent.

But every time an enemy came to take revenge,

she would come to my father for a divination.

She was afraid of accidents
and treasured her life a lot.

She often asked for divination,
one after another.

Father always got the same result,
so he got fed up.

In the end, he never did divinations

or returned her letters again.

See, see?

This is exactly what you people
from the Astrology Pavilion do.

You're always looking down upon others.

Interfering when you feel like it,

and discarding people when you're done.

Always capriciously directing others' lives,

thinking you're some kind of god.

- Madam.
- I'm not done.

You speak of fortune
and fate however you please,

never giving others a chance to choose.

Because of your words,

my life with the previous Emperor
was disrupted.

Do you find it fun and interesting?

Master.

Master.

Ling, quickly, give me a turn.

I'm glad you're not hurt. That's my disciple.

We did a surprise attack,
so it wasn't that hard.

I heard that these past few days,
my master has been bothering you.

I'm really sorry.

How can it be a bother? We were just chatting.

And thank you for the tip
about a surprise attack on Malan Mountain.

You're welcome.

Master, let's go. Let's not chat with him.

I haven't finished yet.

Tonight, the Emperor is
hosting a victory banquet.

Would you like to join me?

I won't.

If you don't go, there won't be any wine.

Wine?

Let's go.

Young Master, the story about the sword master
you were just talking about,

is it unfinished?

Perhaps leaving it unfinished
is the right thing to do.

A sword master.

There weren't many out there back then.

I guess…

Young Master, the sword master
you mentioned wouldn't be…

Brothers, come on.

Come on, brothers.

Gentlemen, we just need to completely
drive Xunnan out of Nanjiang,

and then we can return to the capital.

Who says Jialin is running out its luck?

Who says we are bound for no return?

Everyone present bravely
joined me on the battlefield.

We shared life and death these past few months.

Cheng'an will never forget.

Fill it up, fill it up.

Come on, come on.

Let's have another one.

Come on.

Drink till we're drunk.

Drink, drink.

Come on, come on.

So tone-deaf.

Why is it so tone-deaf?

Does it hurt?

Sorry, on the day of great victory,

we should be happy.

A kiss will make it all better.

Why did you run so far?

My dear, I want a hug.

You're drunk.

The most?

Yes.

The most…

I like Rong Yu the most.

I like him the most, most of all.

I like him when he is silent.

I like him when he is silly and dazed.

I like him when he sits,

smiles at me,

and runs toward me.

He always clings to me.

He peels chestnuts for me.

He says to me,

"My lady, in this life,
I will only listen to you."

But I've lost him.

And he won't come back.

I didn't want to burn his Astrology Pavilion

or destroy his star chart,

but I had to.

But who knows that?

It makes me sadder than anyone.

My dear.

I miss you so much.

I know.

I know you had to do it.

It really hurts.

Ling, seeing you stronger
and braver than before,

I can rest assured.

Regarding this deadly battle,

I am still a mortal being.

And I couldn't bear to see you
and your Senior Brother

waving swords at each other.

So, I decided to leave.

It's always easy to meet but hard to part.

I won't say goodbye to you face to face.

Take care.

General He. General He.

Last night everyone was drunk
at the victory feast. You left early.

I thought you might want to rest more
and skip this meeting.

I knew there was important business today,

so I went to bed early yesterday.

Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.

It seems the Master doesn't like me very much.

I didn't offend you or bother you, did I?

General He, not at all.

Yes, Ling, don't overthink.

Let's talk business quickly.

Speaking of Wutu City,
it will be our last battle

and the hardest one.

Rong Yu, you've been studying
Wutu City for a while now.

Can you share your findings?

Let's discuss together how to break through.

Wutu City is the main base of Xunnan.

Therefore, they have been strengthening

the city and amassing weapons for a long time.

The city is now

easy to defend and hard to attack.
So a hard attack is not advisable.

But we still have to attack.

Stagnation or choosing to hold our forces

will have a significantly negative impact

on us in terms of provision or morale.

We might as well mount a decisive attack.

After all, we cannot wait for Xunnan
to voluntarily relinquish Wutu.

Xunnan, of course, will not give up.

But now they have suffered successive defeats,
their morale is declining.

They urgently need a victory
to boost their morale.

They desperately need to seize a city
to prove themselves.

With Your Majesty in Nanjiang,

Xunnan will undoubtedly
choose to attack this city.

Should we quickly fortify the city?

- Otherwise…
- Not really.

We should, on the contrary,
expose our vulnerabilities.

Leak the information to the Xunnan army,

make them think we are overconfident,

and they will take the initiative to attack.

Why is that?

Lure them into striking as defense,

and we will

defend as attack.

Knowing that this is a crucial battle,

Xunnan will definitely send their best troops

to attack our Nanjiang City,

which leaves Wutu relatively unguarded.

I think Your Majesty can command someone
to take half the troops

and ambush around the Tongguan area.

Wait when Wutu is vulnerable,

and we can seize it in one fell swoop.

And the remaining half of the troops

will hold Nanjiang when Xunnan attacks.

This battle will be

a matter of life and death.

Ren Yinxiao and I come from the same sect.

We are bound to have this fight.

Your Majesty,

please let General Yan
take the troops to Tongguan,

and I will stay here to defend
Nanjiang against the enemy.

[Nanjiang City]

I want to talk to your general.

I will go by myself without any troops, okay?

- Your Majesty, please reconsider.
- Shut up.

May I?

I don't have anything to say to you.

- Ling.
- Don't call me that.

You are not worthy.

Does it really have to be this way between us?

Since the day you planned to target Jialin,

you should have known

that we can never be sect brothers and sisters.

Why are you so obsessed?

I've wanted to pull you out

from this dirty morass of Jialin.

The entire He family was executed.

And you are still working for Jialin.

Jiang Hesen was executed.

But what about the Yan family?
And the Rong family?

I promise you.

All the people who have
wronged you in the past,

I won't let a single one get away.

I can help you with those
you can't bring yourself to kill.

Is that the reason
why you insult Jialin's princess

and invade our land?

This is nothing but an excuse
for your wild ambitions.

You've never been content
with being the unknown

Ren Yinxiao on Mount Wuhua.

You've always wanted to be the King of Xunnan.

I didn't want this either.

I was wrong about you.

I didn't realize you had such great ambitions

and the determination to be a world conqueror.

Senior Brother,

this is the last time I call you that.

From now on,

you and I are nothing but enemies.

March!

Let's go!

[Nanjiang City]

Chengbi, what are you doing here?

Let's go and find the young master. Come.

Hurry, hurry.

This way, hurry.

It's victory. But why can't I see anything now?

Young master, it's Chengbi. Chengbi is back.

She's seriously injured.

Heshan, go find a doctor.

Yes.

Let's go.

Chengbi, what are you doing?

Young master, run.

Young master, run.

Enough.

If your target is me,

don't hurt the innocent.

Great. Yan Lie made it.
