Lan Ling Wang
[Prince of Lan Ling]
[Episode 4]
I haven't known him for long at all
and I'm already marrying him.
Although it's not for real
but was my decision too fast and irrational?
Miss, open the door!
Miss, the gentleman downstairs has asked me to come and help you get changed.
Miss, you're very lucky to be able to marry such a good husband.
The gentleman downstairs also asked me to serve you well.
Don't worry.
Not one man has ever complained about a girl whom I've dressed up before.
I'm very good at this.
I can even turn an ugly duck into a beautiful swan!
I'm an ugly duck?
What I mean is I'll make you look so beautiful
that the gentleman downstairs would love you to death.
Today, the Dan Zhou City gates will surely be heavily guarded.
In order to get in
we must pretend to be a wedding group.
This will save us a lot of trouble.
We'll then decide what to do after we get in.
Is... is she the same Miss Xue Wu as the one we just saw?
She looks totally different.
I'm sorry.
I've never worn a dress this long.
Miss!
You forgot to hide behind your fan!
That's right!
I once read in a poem
that a bride has to hide behind her fan.
Grandma also said that's the wedding custom nowadays.
How can you peep at your bride when you're not officially married yet?
Fourth Brother.
This is the first time that I've seen you look at a lady for so long.
I'd like to thank you for your help again.
You're welcome.
I'm just not sure if I'll be able to help you save your friend.
You won't have to worry about that.
No matter what happens, I'll make sure that you'll be safe.
Miss Xue Wu, I promise you that once our task is done
I'll definitely take you back to your village safe and sound.
Where's our wedding carriage?
You better not delay us.
Of course!
It's already waiting outside.
All right, then let's go!
Let's go.
Here comes the bride! Get ready!
Here they come.
Here comes our groom!
Come on, over here!
Fourth Brother, if Grandma knows that you're getting married
she'd be over the moon!
You're the only single brother left.
I wonder if you like Miss Xue Wu or not.
Why don't you just marry her after we've saved Xu Da?
That would fulfill Grandma's wish.
Miss Xue Wu's not just an ordinary girl.
If people find out about her identity
then there would be chaos in the world.
Let's get going now.
All right.
I forgot to tell you
that you look much prettier than all of those girls back in White Mountain Village today.
I'm only helping you
because you promised me you'd introduce me to Prince of Lan Ling.
All right, I know.
You're only doing this because of Prince of Lan Ling.
What am I shy about?
It's not even a real wedding.
We're only going to save someone.
Don't think too much.
Your Highness, General Yuwen Shen Ju requests to see you.
Let him in.
I, Yuwen Shen Ju, greet Your Highness.
- You may rise. - Thank you, Your Highness.
What's the matter?
I've been ordered to go to Zhou state's boundary
to welcome the king's return.
Despite waiting for days near the Yellow River, I still didn't see His Majesty.
So I went to Turkestan by myself.
I was then told that His Majesty had been missing for days.
What did you say?
His Majesty's gone missing?
Yes.
They lost track of His Majesty somewhere between Zhou and Qi states.
I'm worried if the Qis beat us in finding His Majesty
then there'd be big trouble.
Quickly go and find General Yuchi Jiong.
He's in Dan Zhou City between Zhou and Qi states.
Since he's got enough soldiers on hand
he should be able to find the king.
- Go quickly. - Yes!
Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, someone's blocking our way.
I think they're our soldiers.
Stop.
Who sent you here?
Who else but me?
Fifth Prince, Fourth Prince.
Imperial Tutor?
How did you know I was here?
If I couldn't even predict your whereabouts
then I must have wasted the last few decades of my life.
I hope General Hulu's not here with you.
Don't worry.
I'm the only one who knows about this.
As soon as you said you'd give up on saving Xu Da
I knew that wasn't your true character.
That's why I knew you'd have another plan in mind.
So are you here to stop me?
I know I won't be able to stop you.
So I've decided to bring you back from Zhou state safely.
In other words
you're going to help me, right?
Since you're getting married
how can your bride travel without any dowry?
Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, look.
I've got it all ready.
That's great!
With Imperial Tutor's help
we'll definitely save Xu Da for sure.
I hope the mission to Zhou state
is not going to be too dangerous.
- General Yuchi. - Commander.
Did something happen at the palace?
One month ago, the king went to borrow army in Turkestan
and has gone missing.
- What? - We've looked all around Zhou state
but still couldn't find His Majesty.
What worries us most now
is the king might have gone missing in Qi state.
Commander.
Quickly bring my soldiers
and search along the Yellow River.
After I've captured Gao Chang Gong
then I'll come and join you.
I shall go right away.
Sir!
General Yuchi has ordered to leave behind one guard.
- The rest of you go with General Yuwen. - Yes!
General, I used to be a Qi's peasant.
Your father once saved my family's lives.
I've been waiting for a chance to save you.
I just heard the news
that the king of Zhou has gone missing near the Zhou and Qi boundary.
He might be in the Qi state right now.
Really?
Yes, I heard it with my own ears.
All the guards have gone on a search now
and only one guard's left here.
If this is true then it'd be our best opportunity.
Quickly set me free.
I must bring this news back.
Brother... brother!
Hulu Xu Da.
Don't think about running away.
See this?
This is the first person to die from saving you.
The next one is going to be Gao Chang Gong.
Okay, off you go.
Stop right there.
Who's getting married?
Sir, it's like this.
My brother is very ill
so my nephew's getting married to bring him good fortune.
It's almost time for their ceremony.
Please let us through quickly.
You've got the same accent as us.
You must be from Ling City, too.
That's right, we're from Ling City.
The same homeland as yours, sir.
Sir, please accept this money.
Consider good fortune from us.
Thank you.
- Okay, go through. - Thank you!
Let them through!
Let's go.
I better hide these weapons so people won't see.
Wait!
General.
Have you checked every one of these people?
General, I've already checked.
This gentleman's going home to get married to bring good fortune to his father.
I didn't want to delay them
so I've let them through.
Bring good fortune to his father?
That's right.
The person whom I need to capture today
is a good-looking
and handsome spy from the Qi state.
I reckon you'd make quite a pretty woman.
General, you must be joking.
The prettiest lady here is our bride.
My father's waiting for me at home.
Please let us through quickly
so that we can get married.
Where do you live?
Since we have the fate to meet today
I hope you don't mind me going to your wedding.
It'd be my pleasure to have General at my wedding.
My house is just 50 feet north of the South Gate.
All right, you may go through.
Thank you, General.
Very well, thank you!
Let's go.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Stop them!
- Quick! - Stop them!
There are weapons in the carriage!
What's this?
Those shady innkeepers gave us a broken carriage.
Why do you need to carry weapons for a wedding?
You must be up to something.
Arrest them all!
General.
It was just an arrow.
What's the big deal?
Anyone who carries weapon into our city
should be arrested.
I certainly admire your loyalty to your city.
But this arrow isn't just an ordinary weapon.
Not an ordinary weapon?
What do you mean?
Back in my hometown
we have a custom of hanging up arrows to pray for a son.
That's why my father has asked me to bring along this blessed arrow as my dowry
in the hope that I can have a son soon.
General, what the bride said is true.
Back in her hometown out in the west
it is their custom for men to hunt with arrows.
They worship the Mountain God.
If you don't believe us, why don't you ask around and see?
All right then.
I won't delay you any longer.
How about this?
Your nephew can get married at Nu Wa Temple next to the gate first.
Since you're also a local here
you should know how sacred that temple is, right?
I certainly do.
Everyone who worships in that temple
will be blessed with a lasting marriage.
Whoever lies to Goddess Nu Wa will be punished for life
or even risk their families' lives.
It'd be great to have Goddess Nu Wa as our witness.
Are you sure about this?
I've got no choice.
It's just a superstition anyway.
- Move! - What's going on?
- Get out! - Let's go!
Quickly get married or you'll miss the auspicious time.
I, Gao Si Lang...
is getting married today to bring good fortune upon my father.
After I marry Yang Xue Wu
I shall protect and look after her for the rest of her life.
I shall never leave her.
She will be the only love of my life.
I hereby swear to Goddess Nu Wa and everyone present here today.
After I, Yang Xue Wu, get married
shall treasure our fate for the rest of my life.
I hereby swear to Goddess Nu Wa.
If you were a general
you would have tried to defend that strike.
But obviously, you're not one.
Now that the hair-tying ceremony is complete, you're now husband and wife.
Thank you, General.
I'd also like to give the bride a gift.
General.
In your homeland, the arrow signifies the blessing for a son.
In here, we use pomegranates instead.
Since I almost delayed your wedding just then
consider this as my apology to you.
General, you must be joking.
This is one of Qi state's customs.
Since we're not from the Qi state
why would you use it as a gift for the bride?
I'm sorry.
You better get going now.
You better go home and enjoy your wedding night.
Please.
Thank you.
Nephew, please.
General.
They don't look like the people whom you're after.
You're wrong.
If you hadn't been a spy in Qi state for so long
I wouldn't have known about such a custom.
Obviously they're from Qi state.
Pass on my order.
Block every gate immediately
and send people to spy on them.
I must show my hospitality towards our guests from Qi state.
Yes!
Shi Shen.
Be careful of your action.
Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, please come in.
Go on.
Fourth Prince.
As expected, Yuchi Jiong is doubtful of us
and has sent his men to follow us.
Actually, I've already noticed that.
In that case
why did he put on a show with us?
He deliberately let us through
so that we'd be ambushed by his soldiers
when we try to save Xu Da.
Fourth Prince, are you sure you want to take this risk?
We must not let Senior General lose his son.
Let's get changed quickly.
We'll have it settled within two hours.
I see you're already well-prepared, Fourth Prince.
Fourth Prince, what should we do with the girl?
Give her what's inside the chest.
Yes.
This bag was stolen from her back in Nan Fen Motel.
There's a set of ordinary clothes for you
so that you won't stand out from the crowd.
Thank you for your help.
You better leave as soon as possible.
Fourth Prince.
The West Gate is over there.
Don't ever come back after you've passed the gate.
I have to give you something.
I've come all the way here
because I believe it will keep you safe and sound.
What a pity.
If we could have met earlier
I'm sure we'd be good friends.
Here's your belt.
I hope you'll find a good husband soon.
I'd also like to give you this jade charm.
Use it to exchange for some money.
You must take care in future
and don't trust people so easily.
So will I still be able to see...
Prince of Lan Ling?
Don't worry.
I'll definitely keep my promise.
No, I mean...
No, I mean you...
- Go away! - What's happening?
Get out of here!
What's going on?
Get out of my way!
- Go! - Excuse me!
What's going on?
Quickly get up.
Go! What are you looking at?
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Is this yours?
- Thank you so much! - You're welcome.
Gao Chang Gong was given the land in Lan Ling
and is known as Prince of Lan Ling.
Hopefully I'll be able to meet this God of Battle
some time within my lifetime.
Fine, I know.
You're doing all this because of Prince of Lan Ling.
So will I be able to see...
Prince of Lan Ling?
Don't worry.
I'll definitely keep my promise.
So he's Prince of Lan Ling, the God of Battle!
Fourth Master is Gao Chang Gong, Prince of Lan Ling that Grandma spoke of!
What are you doing?
Get out of here.
Are you going out or coming in?
Let me tell you.
The gate will close at noon
and will only open again three days later.
But why will it be closed for so long?
It's none of your business.
Nobody is to disobey General Yuchi's order.
Get out of here if you're not trying to leave the city!
Uncle... uncle!
What's wrong, miss?
Why will the gate be closed for so long?
Wouldn't that be so inconvenient?
Because there's a spy.
All kinds of ceremony have already been canceled.
At noon today
the spy from Qi state is going to be executed right here.
It's said that Prince of Lan Ling will come to rescue him.
So our general is going to ambush and catch him.
Oh no!
What if he gets caught?
I must go and tell him not to get caught.
The general has announced that he's going to catch the spy today!
Move! Get out of my way!
Go away! Move!
Get up right now!
Or I'll beat you up! Get up!
Sir, it's not that I don't want to get up.
Look how old I am.
How am I suppose to stand up now?
Shut up!
- Get changed! - Fine, help him up!
- Thank you, sir. - Get up.
- Be careful next time, move! - Thank you, sir.
What do you want?
You want to be killed?
Sir, I really need to go across!
Even if it's the end of the world we still can't disobey our orders!
But this is very important!
My... my mother's sick!
I want to go and see her!
Really? Of course I can let you through
after the execution.
But my mother...
She's my daughter!
Baby, what are you doing here?
Baby, your mother's fine.
I've already taken her to see the doctor.
She's now okay so you better not disturb the soldiers here.
Sir, I'm sorry!
My daughter didn't mean to cause you trouble.
Sir,I'll bring her home right away.
- Quickly take here away! - Yes, sir!
Daughter, let's go home.
Hurry!
The prisoner is here!
Since I've let you ride a cart for your final journey
shouldn't you thank me for it?
As I said before
your plot will never eventuate.
Today
I'm going to show every one of you here
how I'm going to capture Prince of Lan Ling!
Miss Xue Wu, why did you come back?
Did you know you could be killed for running into the execution ground?
How could I not come back?
Yuchi Jiong has ordered to close the gates for three days
in order to catch a spy.
Prince of Lan Ling must not fall for his trap!
How did you know his identity?
I don't have time to explain.
Anyway, I've come back to help you escape.
Come here!
Miss Xue Wu.
I'd like to thank you on their behalf.
But you must not take this risk.
Even Fourth Prince wouldn't let you do this.
I know I can't fight.
But I think I can distract them
in order to help you guys save that person.
- Is there a medicine store nearby? - Yes.
I need to get some saltpeter and sulfur quickly.
Saltpeter and sulfur? What for?
I might as well try to see if my firework can ruin Dan Zhou City.
Ruin Dan Zhou City?
By yourself?
Yeah!
Execution time!
So Prince of Lan Ling
is just a coldblooded coward after all!
Someone's trying to save the prisoner!
Go!
- Quickly rescue Xu Da! - Release the arrows!
Xu Da... Xu Da, it's me!
Fifth Brother.
- Let's go! - Net!
Let's see how you're going to get out now!
You better surrender right now!
Gao Chang Gong is over here!
You loser.
You were lucky enough to have gotten away last time.
Gao Chang Gong.
So this is what you look like.
You've finally revealed your face!
Listen up, everyone!
Put down your arrows, and don't fight back.
Back down, all of you!
Imperial Tutor, you've come just in time.
Quickly get in!
Surround the carriage and don't let them get away!
You better release our general!
Move! Or I'll kill Yuchi Jiong!
Let's go to the gate first
and we'll figure out how to get out.
Save the General and don't let them escape!
Go after them!
What's going on?
What's happening?
Out of the way!
What's wrong with you people?
Move!
Fourth Brother.
Fourth Brother... Fourth Brother...
Fourth Brother.
Xu Da.
Save your words til later.
Take a rest first.
This can't wait.
I heard the news
that the king of Zhou state, Yuwen Yung
had gone missing in Qi state.
Are you sure?
Yes...
- Xu Da... Xu Da... - Xu Da!
- General, are you okay? - Go after them!
Yes!
They're running towards the gate.
Go after them and don't let them get away!
Yes!
How am I suppose to get close when there's so many people?
Who are you? Why are you in our barn?
I...
I'm here to attend the ghost-busting ceremony.
The whole city's closed for capturing Prince of Lan Ling this afternoon.
The ceremony's been canceled.
No one is to be here.
Get out of here!
Yes, sir, I only just heard about it.
I better go home now.
Goodbye.
General, no one suspicious found ahead.
- Keep searching! - Yes!
They must be somewhere.
All gates are closed.
Where can they be?
The barn's on fire!
Quickly put it out!
How good is that!
My firework is finally a success!
- Quickly put out the fire! - Over there! Water!
General!
General, there were some lights at the barn and then it just went up in flames.
Someone saw a tiger's head nearby
so no one dares to get close.
No one dares to get close?
So should we just let our barn burn?
Pass on my order.
Whoever refuses to put out the fire will be executed!
- Yes! - What nonsense!
Let me come and deal with you!
Imperial Tutor.
That's certainly a very good trick of yours.
How did you do it?
Fourth Prince, it's a long story.
Let's figure out how to get out of here first.
Look, Xu Da can't wait much longer.
Let's go!
