Episode Fifty-three

After Mother died,

Chun'er stayed in her palace

and didn't want to see anybody.

She even didn't see me off when I left.

I am alone now.

You are not alone.

All these people are following you.

I am, too.

The Duke of Yanbei.

As the Duke of Yanbei, I have nothing.

Poorer than a prisoner.

Let alone future,

I may easily lose my life.

Young Master Yue,

thanks for caring for me.

Though there are ups and downs in life.

But after rain comes fair sunshine.

I believe that the Imperial Concubine

also wish for you two

to be safe and sound,

and to be in good health.

Who is it.

It's me.

- What are you doing? - It's me.

What happened?

They came to steal our food by night.

We caught them.

Your Highness, Young Master,

who should we do with them?

- Please spare our lives. - Grandpa.

Since the war began,

we have got nothing to eat.

All my families were dead.

Our village was destroyed.

I am too hungry.

Or I daren't

to steal, Master.

Please forgive us this time,

and spare our lives.

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

Let them go.

Grandpa.

Meng Feng,

give them something to eat.

Grandpa.

Here, take it.

Grandpa, eat.

You eat it.

Grandpa eats it.

You eat it.

Take your time.

It tastes good.

Eat more.

Here.

Give me some water.

Give me some water.

Here.

Here, take it.

Thank you.

There's more.

Thank you. Thank you.

Take your time. Take your time.

Thank you.

Take it easy.

Although I am reduced to here,

I am in quite good condition

compared to them.

If the war doesn't stop,

we can just save a few people

only by the two of us.

Right.

The only way to save the people is to stop the war.

But what can I do

in such circumstances?

When I arrive in Yanbei,

there are people who natually want to get rid of me.

Don't worry.

I have the strategy for that.

Your highness, I don't think

Miss Chu will

forgive me.

Should she forgive you?

How dare you are?

Your highness.

You thought you could cheat me.

What person you think I am?

I don't dare to do it.

Don't dare?

I think you are audacious in the extreme.

I'm wronged.

Your highness.

When you led the troop to attack Chang'an,

my heart was torn with anxiety

and I was so afraid to miss it,

so...

- Miss Chu... I... - Cheng Yuan.

If you do it again,

I'm warning you

that you will go underground

to wait for your enemy.

Yes.

Get up.

Thank you, Your highness.

Your highness.

The scout just reported

that the Thirteen Prince of Wei State, Yuan Song,

has set up the station outside of the border of Meilin.

And he announced himself

to be the Duke of Yanbei.

How many troops did he lead?

It's very odd.

He only led dozen of scurvy crew.

Did he come here to seek his doom?

General.

Go find a beautiful landscape

outside the city

to burry Sun Hao.

Yes.

Go pick up several skillful guys

who will follow me to get out of city.

What do you mean?

To kill Yang Song.

Did his highness order to kill Yang Song?

He just arrived at the border of Meilin

and didn't get a firm foothold yet.

It's the best time to kill him.

Chu Qiao and he are best friends.

None of the persons around Chu Qiao

can stay anymore.

Yes.

Brother, please go slowly on your way.

I will send someone to accompany you today

and you will not feel lonely on the way.

Yang Song.

Move.

We have been waiting for you.

Don't chase him.

Yanxun.

His highness wanted to save Cheng yuan.

We don't have another way

to do.

Cheng yuan is extremely cruel and merciless.

And he has his heart set on taking revenge on the Emperor of Wei State.

He is best at

confusing and poisoning people's minds.

I heard he has gained high prestige

in the troops of Yanbei for these years.

Even Mr. Wu can't match it.

Many soldiers

who lost their relatives in the battle

are following his lead.

It's not easy

to deal with him.

Is it?

So that's it.

Many experiences of Cheng yuan

are similar with his highness.

He has used this

to earn the trust of his highness.

His highness is uncertain

about our troop of Xiuli.

If it weren't you,

I'm afraid our troop of Xiuli

would already have gone.

And because of you,

his highness gave up the chance to get into Chang'an.

It's really a rare affection.

In his heart,

no one can replace you.

When we were in Chang'an,

I always felt that I was familiar with Yanbei

and I had full of imagination of this place,

as if I had been here.

But when I'm here now,

it's really too cold.

Whatever righteous ardour, whatever dream,

all will be frozen

by the chill wind of Yanbei.

Lord Chu.

Don't give up easily.

It will cost a price to achieve the goal.

I believe you will

reach your ambition someday.

In the future, at the highland of Yanbei,

with slaves being freed and the fights being stopped, people will enjoy the peace.

By that time,

all the dead brothers

can really get rest in peace.

I hope so.

Believe me, everything will be fine.

The arrows of the Green Hills Court.

General.

General.

General.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Your highness.

- What happened? - Your highness.

I probed the border of Meilin at night

and found something very important.

Yuwen Yue is here.

He is staying in the Palace of General now.

The station troops of the border of Meilin

have been under his control.

Let's go.

If I weren't here to accompany you,

I'm afraid that no one will come

to play chess with the one

who is so bored like you.

Someone always comes without invitation.

So, I never feel bored.

It's been several years,

your skill in chess playing has improved a lot.

Great progress.

Since my legs get injured,

I can't do anything else.

Besides playing harpsichord,

the only things I could do are reading books

and playing chess.

So the skill in chess playing

has improved a little.

Unlike you,

you are so happy to overrun the whole world

and influence the situations.

Don't describe yourself

as the hermit.

You pay the money for people's lives

to control life or death of the others.

You are well known in the underworld.

You are not worse than me.

I just run some small business.

It's underhand technique.

Unlike you,

you are doing the business about the domination.

That is because you don't want it.

I'm just seeking

some little hobby in my life.

It's not like you

who have been pursuing the Wind and Cloud Decree for many years

and having high aspirations.

It's kind of a funny story.

Everyone wants to get

the Wind and Cloud Decree.

But no one knows

the Wind and Cloud Decree is the equinox flower formed on the body

after the great achievement of the Kungfu of Ice.

How could I get it?

By the way,

I heard the daughter of Luo He is still alive.

If she knows that you are the one

who killer her mother,

do you think what she will do to you?

Are you so worried about

my safety in this visiting?

I think

everything in my boat

can't escape from your eyes.

Just tell me, what do you want?

We are the pupils of the same master.

Is it strange

that I came to care about you?

When did we

become so close?

I always thought

you are the one who is looking forward

to my death.

You speak too seriously, too seriously.

I always thought

we are the people of the same class.

I could tell you

where the daughter of Luo He is.

But I hope you could help me

to kindle the flames of the war in Yanbei

to realize my dream of assisting the kind.

How about Zhao Kuang?

Young Master, I think Zhao Kuang

has been frightened to death.

The night before yesterday,

he submitted a statement to His Majesty

and said he had an incurable disease,

so he needed to go back to capital for the treatment.

He asked His Majesty to

give the pass to the Prince Yu

so he could go back for a while.

Then he led the elite troops

and went back to Chang'an

without waiting for the response of His Majesty.

The medicine of Yue Jiu is too insidious,

and you have frightened him like this,

he must think he had

an incurable disease.

What I learned is medical skill,

it's the medicine the Aferlife Camp that is too insidious,

which has nothing to do with me.

All right.

The primary task

is to practice the troops

and repair defense of the city.

Through the last battle, the border of Meilin

has been damaged a lot.

I have already delivered the orders

to repair the wall of city firstly

from tomorrow.

It's up to you.

Yue Qi.

How about the thing

I arranged you to do?

Before us coming to Yanbei,

I have contacted the spies

in the northern.

Now, they are ready to take action

in the Hong Chuan.

Who is the leader?

Get it over fast, hurry up.

Just move when you finish it.

General. Please don't empty them

and leave two bags for me.

How could I run my business later?

Shopkeeper Chen,

The biggest grain shop in Hong Chuan

is yours.

Who should I take if I don't take yours?

General, the war might be what matters,

but my family needs to survive.

Isn't it?

You... you...

How could I survive if you empty them?

No, Shopkeeper Chen,

you are not right.

It sounds like that I won't return it back to you.

We will return it to you

when the war is over.

Furthermore,

at that time,

I will ask his highness to reward you.

To be honest,

the situation is very tense right now,

I'm afraid these provisions are not enough.

Could you figure out a way

to get more?

General.

I have let you empty all I had.

I couldn't figure out the way.

The wheat in the field

is only medium well.

Couldn't you let me

harvest the medium well one?

Medium well?

Have you loaded them all?

Yes, we have.

Let's go.

Yes.

- Let's go. - Go.

Yes.

Stop.

Where are you going?

Go home.

Go.

Stop.

Where are you going?

I have got the order from General Jing

to get out the city for the grain.

Here you go.

Thank you.

What is the order from Young Master?

You can see for yourself.

I got it.

What's your name?

Meng Feng.

Miss Meng Feng.

Tomorrow morning,

I will be waiting for you outside the gate.

Don't be late.

Rest assure.

(Sound of the crowd)

You.

Where are you going?

You are not allowed to go inside.

Stop. Where are you going?

Mister,

we are here to deliver the forage.

The forage?

I didn't receive any statement

about the forage.

Do you have the statement?

I don't have that.

However, we are ordered

to deliver the forage.

You can't go inside.

Without the statement, you may be spies.

I have the statement.

I have the statement.

I have the statement.

Mister,

you don't recognise me?

I went out from this gate yesterday.

The army is in need for the forage.

We will be punished

if we are late.

The statement. The statement.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Mister.

Let's go. Let's go.

Quickly.

Quickly.

Move quickly.

(Sound of the crowd)

Stop.

Miss.

Where are you going?

We are delivering the forage for the army.

Miss.

I have the statement from General Jing.

How about them?

They are farmers living outside of town.

They are helping me deliver the forage.

What is on the cargo?

Miss. It is wheat.

Let me see.

Yes, madam.

That's fine.

You can go now.

Thank you. Thank you.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Go quickly.

Quickly.

Quickly.

Quickly.

Quickly.

Do it quickly.

Quickly.

Quickly.

Meng Feng.

It is late now.

The gate is about to close.

I think you better not

go outside right now.

Just stay here tonight.

Thank you, Master Chen.

Before I left home,

my dad already told me to follow your order.

You are welcome.

Let's go.

Let's go.

There are two barns

in the city of Hongchuan.

One belongs to the army.

The other belongs to the officials.

From what I know, the stock in the barn

belonging to the officials

have already moved to the one belonging to the army.

In addition,

they are enforcing a ration right now.

This act means

Yan Xun is preparing to start

a war.

This is

the barn belonging to the army.

Right.

It is heavily guarded.

They change shifts three times a day.

It will be too difficult for you

to set up a fire in the barn.

I have an idea though.

Tomorrow,

when we deliver the forage to the army,

we can

take everything

There is no need.

Just tell me when the guards

change shifts.

We will attack tonight.

You?

(Yeah)

No. It is too reckless.

You will get killed.

We are trained to

do something dangerous. We risk our lives all the time.

No way.

I am in charge of every move

made by the Eyes of God

in the city of Hongchuan.

You are now inside the city.

You need to follow my order.

Because you can't do it,

His Young Master sent me here.

You… (Sound of knocking on the door)

- Who is that? - Master. It's me.

There is a secret letter.

Have you made up your mind?

If you have,

just tell me the time.

No.

You can't make the move tonight.

I am not asking.

Me either.

See for yourself.

An important businessman from the south will come

to deliver the forage tonight.

They will be moving the forage all night.

It will be full of people.

How can you possibly make the move?

Go quickly.

Take them up there.

OK. OK.

Quickly.

OK.

Quickly. There is more.

OK.

Here they come.

Master Zhan.

General Jing.

Thank you for your help.

We are short of forage right now.

His Highness ordered me specially that

I must express our gratitude

to you.

I am a businessman.

As long as there is business to do, I don't mind who the buyer is.

Can you hear what they are saying?

Miss Meng.

No.

Master Zhan, you are too modest.

You are not only a businessman,

but also a hero. I admire you so.

Thank you, General Jing.

Master Zhan,

I heard you have some problem with your legs. Is it serious?

It is cold in Yanbei.

Will that cause you any trouble?

It has been more than a decade.

The weather changes all the time.

I am perfectly fine.

Right. General Jing.

I told you

I would like to meet with

His Highness.

Have you informed His Highness?

Of course.

However, His Highness

is in the city of Lan right now.

I am afraid that you need to wait for a while.

I shall send someone

to inform His Highness of your arrival.

Thank you.

Master Zhan.

You have had a long journey. You must be tired now.

Why don't you take a rest in the inn first?

We have the information about who he is.

He is the leader of

the Gang of Cao in the south.

He is from the Liang State.

He often travels in the border between the Wei State

and the Liang State.

He has some businesses in Xianyang.

He is very wealthy.

If he is going to help Yan Xun,

it will be advantageous for him.

We need to do something about it.

What is your plan?

Kill him.

I disagree.

Why?

I don't know.

However, my gut tells me that

This man is extremely dangerous

Instinct?

I will tell the master about this

What we should do

will be decided by the master

Let us finish our priority

first

Yan Xun has food, right?

Let's burn it

into ashes

Boss Zhan, I have heard your name for a long time

the leader of water transport from north to south

Thank you for helping us

right at the point

I want to extend our appreciation on behalf of the soldiers

and the king of Yan

You are welcome

I have met

the old lord

for once before

Just a small favor for you

Just the highness command the army

right towards Chang'an this time

Smooth on the whole way

but turn back in sudden

What a pity

Is that because of the lack of food

All because of a woman

Woman?

He's really same with the old lord

When the old lord was young

he has competed with the majesty

for Lady Bai Sheng

He finally won and

was written down as a fairy tale

Pity is this fairy tale

ended his life

while the story of the prince

made Yan lose a perfect chance to

revenge for ourselves

He is still young

Normal to be delayed by love

Is it normal to miss the military opportunity?

I should not make comment on that

Please forgive me

When the highness is back

I will go in person to introduce you to him

Thank you for your kindness

Just

not this time

I am

about to leave Hongchuan tomorrow morning

So hurry?

Something private

Then I'm not asking you to stay

When you come next time

I will treat you with my best effort

Thank you, general

Someone here

Bring me that

General, a small present for you

Please accept it

Then I'll take it

Send it to the master asap

Be careful

You are too cautious

Don't worry

Go prepare now

Yes

Good

Reward us a little if you have coins

Clap for us if you don't

Come on, thank you guys

Good

Stubborn?

Keep silence?

Spit it out

Speak

If you insist...

this is your punishment

Stubborn? Speak

Spit it out

Speak or not?

Yes or no?

Speak or not?

Beat him. Go on

Till he confesses

Keep silence?

Tell me or not?

Tell me or not?

Speak

If you insist...

this is your punishment

Speak

Minister, they are so crafty

Since you've found out

why don't you reveal them at the scene?

Because since I found out

why don't I

take them all down in once time?

Take them all down

Send out the bait

OK, I'll go instantly

Master

We have successfully enter the city

We will set off the fire at nine o'clock tonight

Do not worry about us, master

Good to have everything done smoothly

Better to act fast

I'll go reinforce them now

Wait

The letter is fake

Inform them to retreat now

Yes

Retreat

Retreat

Shoot

Miss Chu destroyed the plan of

Yuwen Yue's agents

took them all down

and saved our barn

Such a huge merit she made

Makes us all happy

But on the other hand

Yuwen Yue did act surreptitiously

No sign of arranging agents

Lucky is Miss Chu was taught by him

in person

Familiar with his methods

Understands his goals and

ruined it

following his move

I felt it splendid

just watching her

What the hell do you want to say?

I am taking about the relationship of her and him

Full of bullshit

Master

Meng Feng has almost recovered

Few more days of rest

she will be OK

Master, I was too stupid

Did not found the trick

Huge mistake was nearly made

But master

how did you tell the set up?

Look at this Chinese character Hai

When I taught her to write

she formed a bad

habit

I did not correct her in time

because she didn't know herself

Thanks to that

I know the letter is fake

What happened?

Report

Answer your question

I...

I don't know

I was knocked down

once I got in

I know nothing about it

General

Was there

any spy releasing them?

Was there a woman

knocked you down?

General

General, please forgive me. General

Please forgive me

Forgive me, general

General

General, look

These chains were never destructed

Must be someone using the keys

open them

I... I didn't

General

Please forgive me

You are right

It was spy

A spy let them go

Please forgive me
