Lan Ling Wang
[Prince of Lan Ling]
[Episode 9]
I, Yuchi Jiong, greet Your Majesty!
How are we doing in the battle?
Your Majesty.
I've already led 80,000 soldiers to join you here in Luo Yang.
The Turkic troops are also carrying Zhou state's flags
and coming from the west to support us.
Gao Wei and his men have already been surrounded by us for a long time.
If they see it is Your Majesty who's the commander of our troops
the Luo Yang's soldiers will surely lose their morale.
We will conquer their city for sure!
Luo Yang City.
I'm coming for you.
Shen Ju.
Although Luo Yang is a very solid city
but we've got nothing to fear now.
Pass on my order.
The first person to climb up Luo Yang City's wall
will be rewarded with 100 gold.
The first person who goes through the city's gate
- will be rewarded 1,000 gold! - Yes!
We'll definitely break into Luo Yang within two days.
Yang Xue Wu.
Do you still reckon
that Zhou state will lose against Qi state?
Gao Chang Gong is already dead
so you should just forget about him.
Victory belongs to me!
Attack!
The battle has begun.
[Luo Yang City]
Since our enemy has 100,000 soldiers
and we only have 500 men
in order to win this battle
we must use the right timing, geography and people.
When the Zhou troops are focused on breaking into the city
Yang Shi Shen will be our vanguard
and lead a small troop to the bottom of Mount Mang
to give the Zhous an unexpected attack from behind.
Report!
Your Majesty, we were attacked by a strange troop at the bottom of Mount Mang.
Could it be Qi state's backup troop?
Quickly order General Yuchi to fight them!
Yes!
Then Yuwen Yung would surely get Yuchi Jiong to rush over to help.
As the Zhous rush over to the bottom of Mount Mang...
Retreat!
Shi Shen.
Remember to stop fighting immediately.
Lead your men up the hill
and join Xiao Dong.
Since Yuchi Jiong's so desperate to take credit
he'll definitely chase after you.
Xiao Dong and his men would have already set up an ambush at the top of the hill.
Charge forward!
Since the Zhous would be running uphill on foot
this will use up their energy.
Then we'll catch the right timing
to release the logs and rocks that we've prepared.
Release!
This will surely take down half of their troop.
Yeah!
- Who are they? - It's the masked general!
Gao Chang Gong?
That's impossible!
I thought the king said he's already dead!
That's impossible.
Impossible!
After many of their soldiers have been killed and injured
then I'll lead my troop to charge towards them and kill them all.
By then, it'd be impossible for them to fight back at all.
This is making use of the geography.
Retreat!
- Go back to our camp! - Retreat! Hurry!
After we go down the hill, their line of attack would be broken.
Our shooters will then come from the left
and shoot the Zhou tents with their fire arrows.
Inside their tents
there'd be the blankets that the Zhou soldiers took from Xiao Dong
a few days ago.
Inside the blankets
are the fireworks that Xue Wu had taught us how to make before.
This is making use of the right timing.
At this time, the Zhous would be at a disadvantage
and in total panic.
What's happening?
What are all these sparks and thunder?
Why is everyone so scared?
He's here!
Are you responsible for this?
Your Majesty.
Someone has led the Qi troop and broke into our camp.
He's wearing a strange mask.
Everyone said it's Prince of Lan Ling
Gao Chang Gong.
He's still not dead?
- How many soldiers does he have? - About 500.
Pathetic!
Although I don't know how you managed to save Gao Chang Gong
but I can tell you
that he will be buried under Luo Yang this afternoon!
It's also when Qi state will be wiped out.
You'll always only be mine.
My divine sorceress!
Because I'm the only one who will conquer the world!
While the Zhous are still badly hurt and in a total panic
our troop will head straight for Luo Yang City.
As for our brothers who are trapped inside Luo Yang
once they see us arrive
it will definitely boost their morale.
Retreat!
This is Prince of Lan Ling!
Open the gate!
Prince of Lan Ling?
Brothers, Prince of Lan Ling is here!
Help is here!
Open the gate!
No!
Do you think you can just wear a mask and pretend to be Prince of Lan Ling?
We're surrounded by tens of thousands of Zhou soldiers
so how could you have come through with just a few hundred men?
It makes me wonder if it's one of the Zhou's deceitful plots.
Archers, get ready!
It really is Prince of Lan Ling!
Crown Prince, please open the gate.
Quickly open the gate!
Prince of Lan Ling...
Prince of Lan Ling is here!
[Luo Yang City]
I'm General Dugu Yong Ye.
I'm General Duan Si Wen.
Greetings, Prince!
It must have been a tiring journey.
It must have been hard on you.
I should have come earlier.
But we still have a chance.
Our enemy is now at a disadvantage.
If we can fight with our might
then we'll kick them out of Qi state for sure!
My brothers!
Let's charge forward
and kill every one of them!
Kill them!
Let's kill!
- It's the king! - The king is going to fight with us!
That's right, he'll be leading us!
The war ahead is at a standstill.
The king has already come face to face with Prince of Lan Ling.
We still have 50,000 soldiers.
Brothers, let's go and prove ourselves to the king!
Victory will be ours! Victory will be ours!
Stay where you are!
General Yuchi.
This was handwritten by Prime Minister.
Immediately withdraw our troops? But...
Since the king has led his troop on a battle without his permission
Prime Minister is now furious.
He's already invited your mother, wife and children
over to his manor for a gathering.
If you don't obey his order
then you'll only end up seeing their bodies.
My mother's bangle?
General Yuchi.
Everyone knows what a filial son you are.
Would you really disobey Prime Minister's order
and pay with your mother and family's lives?
Fourth Brother, it is hard to win a prolonged war.
Three o'clock.
It's already three o'clock.
General Hulu has taken a different path than that of Crown Prince's
and should be joining us now with his 30,000 soldiers.
Here comes Senior General!
Your Majesty, Hulu Guang's leading 30,000 soldiers
coming straight towards us from the west!
What about General Yuchi who's been waiting around the back?
Order him to fight them immediately!
Yes!
General Yuchi.
Please go and fight General Hulu right away.
Otherwise the king will be under attack from both sides.
Please tell the king...
that Prime Minister has ordered me to withdraw my troops.
I have no choice but to obey.
Yuchi Jiong.
If you withdraw your troops now
then it will cost the king's life!
Once I withdraw my troops
the king and the Turkic troops' army morale
will definitely collapse.
If the king stays on the battlefield
the Qis will definitely take him as hostage.
Yuchi Jiong.
What's going on?
Why is the withdrawal bell ringing?
Fourth Brother, Yuchi Jiong has really withdrawn his troops.
Miss Xue Wu's plan has worked!
Our spy in Zhou state has already spread rumors everywhere
that once Yuwen Yung succeeds in conquering Luo Yang City
then he'd definitely offer Yuwen Hu's head to God.
This rumor has already spread all over Chang An.
That's why Yuwen Hu would never let Yuwen Yung conquer Luo Yang City.
Since they already hate each other
it's only right for them to fight one another.
Your Majesty, I've got bad news.
Prime Minister Yuwen Hu has issued and order
to say Your Majesty has gone on a battle without his permission.
He's ordered Yuchi Jiong to withdraw his troops.
Yuwen Hu has captured Yuchi Jiong's entire family
so he couldn't disobey him.
He's already withdrawn his troops.
Just because Yuwen Hu doesn't want me to succeed
so he did that to stop me!
Your Majesty.
If we don't withdraw our troops now
the consequence will be unimaginable.
Your Majesty, you're our king.
You must not risk your own life!
Let's catch Yuwen Yung!
Charge!
Prince of Lan Ling.
I didn't lose against you this time.
It's Yuwen Hu whom I lost against.
Looks like in order to conquer the world
I'd have to get rid of Yuwen Hu first.
Just you wait.
I'll definitely be back.
Withdraw our troops!
Look, Grandma.
Prince of Lan Ling has really won the battle on Mount Mang!
Just as you said
he really is an excellent general!
The Qi troops are here! Run!
Prince of Lan Ling has saved Qi state!
Prince of Lan Ling has won the battle for us!
- Not here, let's look over there. - Okay.
According to Chapter 11 of Northern Qi state's book of records
At the verge of losing the battle on Mount Mang, Chang Gong led his troop to the rescue.
But people didn't know it was him.
So he took off his mask
and fought to save Qi state.
We only had a risky win in the last battle.
Just as you said we made use of the best timing, geography and people.
So of course we would win.
Miss Xue Wu had certainly helped us a lot.
Fourth Prince, the Zhou troops have already totally withdrawn
but we still haven't heard any news about Miss Xue Wu.
Yuwen Yung must have taken her back to Zhou state.
She should be somewhere around here.
Fourth Brother, you go and find her.
Leave this with us.
Stop! Don't run!
Don't run!
Quick! Don't let her get away!
We must bring back the divine sorceress!
- Yes! - Split into two groups!
- She's not here, let's go over there! - Yes!
You go over there, the rest follow me!
Yes!
We must bring back the divine sorceress!
Xue Wu?
We must bring the divine sorceress back to Zhou state.
- Go and check the bottom of the hill! - Yes!
This way!
Fourth Prince.
Although I really want to see you again
but I don't think that will even happen again.
- I heard a noise over there! - We must catch her.
- Don't let her get away! - Hurry!
- Quick! - Go after her!
- Let's have a look down there! - Catch her!
This way!
- Let me go! - Xue Wu, it's me!
It's me.
I'm Fourth Prince.
I'll never let anyone hurt you again.
It really is you!
I saw so many dead people!
I was so worried about you!
Xue Wu.
In order to save me
you sneaked into Zhou state alone
and took the poison in front of Yuwen Yung
so that you'd trick him into giving you the antidote.
How would I ever repay you?
As long as you're safe and sound...
then it'd be the best payback.
You've only just recovered so you can't catch a cold.
I know a place where we can take cover.
Come with me.
There are some clean clothes inside. Go and get changed.
Okay.
The person who owns this dress should be very skinny.
I'm afraid I'd rip her dress.
Here.
Take a seat here and warm up a bit.
Does your wound still hurt?
It doesn't hurt anymore.
Stop blaming yourself.
The only time when I felt the most pain
was when I woke up
and found out you've risked your life to save my life.
Also, when I realized I might not be able to see you again
I felt an unstoppable pain in my heart.
It's great that you're still alive.
Also, just as Grandma had predicted
you've won the battle on Mount Mang.
This miraculous victory
will give you a great reputation in history.
In that case
then I must get the historian to write down
that you are the miracle.
Because what I really want is not just to rescue Luo Yang
but more importantly...
to rescue you from Yuwen Yung's hands.
Are you okay?
But...
It's all my fault, I was too careless!
- It's okay. - But this is your mother's dress, right?
Because you seem very familiar with this house
and looking at the furniture
it looks like there were once children living in this house.
And then there's this dress.
So I thought...
That's right.
This is my mother's dress.
I'm sure she's very happy that I've brought you here
to show her how unique you are.
I'm sure your mother is even more unique
in order to have brought up such an outstanding son.
But I wish my mother and I were just an ordinary family.
When I was very young
I lived here with my mother.
Although we were very poor
but life was very happy.
Su Er, that's enough.
Come here.
Su Er!
Su Er, it's okay, don't cry.
Just stand back up when you fall down.
Look, Su Er.
Look at the grass between the stones.
Although it's been buried under the stones
but it's still staying strong and sprouting.
Su Er, you should also be like this grass.
No matter what obstacles you face you must stay strong, understand?
Now get up.
A rabbit.
The rabbit must be hungry.
Go and feed it, go on.
My mother and I had a carefree life.
It was the happiest time of my life.
Until one day when Imperial Tutor Duan came to bring me into the palace.
Mother...
Mother?
Why are you crying?
I'm crying tears of joy.
You're going to enter the palace.
Although your father had already passed away when you were just three years old
but it's a good thing that you're going to the palace.
You're not just an ordinary child.
You'll be loved by your grandma and other brothers.
You'll also have a great life.
I'm very happy for you.
Aren't you coming to the palace with me?
There are still many things to pack up here
and there's still cabbage in our garden.
You can go with Official Duan first.
I'll meet you there later.
Official Duan, if we don't get going, I'm afraid it's going to rain.
There's no rush.
Let him stay a little longer with his mother.
Go and get your rabbit.
Remember to pick some leaves to feed it along with way.
I'll give your luggage to Official Duan.
Madam.
Official Duan.
Please take care of Su Er for me!
Don't worry, Madam.
I understand how you feel.
Back then when you were pregnant with the king's child
you ran away from the army camp.
From that moment on
you should have expected this day to come.
The royal bloodline can't be left outside of the palace.
I understand.
I didn't want to sacrifice the child inside me
and I should have known that I was only an army prostitute.
Mother!
Mother... Mother!
Su Er.
Su Er, whenever you miss me
then just cuddle the rabbit the way I always cuddle you.
Remember what I taught you.
Remember who you are.
You must become a self-regulating and generous man
who's as strong as this little grass.
Also
you'll always be my most beloved child deep in my heart.
Mother, after you've packed up everything
remember to come and pick me up.
Okay, I will.
I'm sorry, Madam.
We must go now.
Come on, let's go, my child.
Mother!
Mother, remember to come and see me soon!
- Mother! - Su Er!
Su Er...
Su Er.
Su Er!
After I entered the palace
my mother had never came to see me.
When I had the ability to sneak here without anyone knowing
my mother was already gone.
I really think I was so naive and childish back then.
I actually believed that I'd see my mother again.
Sometimes I'd wonder
how she's doing all by herself now
and if she's still alive.
My mother told me
that she was an army prostitute.
My father was the only man in her life
but my father had countless women.
I don't think he'd even remember what my mother looks like.
So I've decided
that I'll never let something like that happen in my life.
I must treat my wife well
and not let her follow my mother's footsteps.
So...
you're willing to have only woman in your life?
That's right.
Whenever something troubles me, I'd come here.
This is where my home is.
Here
I don't have to be careful of my every move.
Here is where I can be free.
Don't think about what you've lost
but what you possess.
This way, you'd feel better.
I've never really thought
that I've ever possessed anything before.
Don't say that.
How can you have nothing?
You have my respect and admiration.
Xue Wu.
Why does your face feel so hot?
Did you catch a cold?
- Did I? I don't... - Xue Wu!
