Episode 30
No, I can't leave Father there.
Look, we've caught another spy.
Pull her up.
- Let me go! - Stay put!
Let go of me!
You're a spy sent by Yun Kuang, aren't you?
- It's you! - Do you know me?
No, I don't.
Please let me go.
That won't do. You are on our turf.
And you know martial arts.
What if you are a spy?
I can guarantee you I'm not!
Why would a spy admit to being a spy?
General Xiao, let's take her away first.
Please let me go. I need to look for my father!
I'm telling you the truth!
Fine. A debt owed has to be paid.
Could you do me a favor before you kill me?
- What kind of a favor? - Rescue my father for me.
He is in the Qian Residence in the city.
Rescuing a person is a good deed. I will help you.
My mind is now at ease.
- You... - You can leave now. I believe you.
General Xiao, this...
Don't worry. She is definitely not a spy.
- How do you know that? - Of course I do.
A woman who is willing to die for others can't be too bad.
I've been wrong once, but I won't be the second time.
Let's go!
Father!
Your father just fell asleep.
Don't wake him up.
What do you intend to do?
I don't intend to do anything.
I just want to keep my godfather company.
And gaze up at the stars.
Why have you done this to my father?
He is so kind to you and took care of you.
Because I can't rein myself in.
Do you regret your actions?
Do I regret my actions?
I don't hate you.
Because I find you more pitiful than anyone else.
Father, wake up. We have to leave.
Where are you taking him?
Away from here. Away from this miserable place.
Can you really get away from here?
We can, as long as I am willing to.
I have already stripped myself of martial arts.
I am now an ordinary woman.
None of this chaos has anything to do with me.
The path ahead of me is blocked.
There is no retreat.
What are you thinking about? The chicken is burned.
Don't bother with the chicken.
I have matters to discuss with you.
What is it?
Judging from the recent events, Her Ladyship is Hai Tian's soft spot.
If that persists, our efforts might go down the drain.
- So... - What do you have in mind?
We have Yun Kuang's wife in our hands, right?
In my opinion, we should kill her!
Kill her? Then what about Her Ladyship?
It's even better if Yun Kuang kills Her Ladyship because of that.
Then His Lordship is free from having an Achilles heel.
How... How could you do that?
Look at you! You're so wishy-washy.
You don't dare to but I do!
Pang Wan!
What do you think you are up to?
I have already decided!
Don't stop me and don't rat me out!
- Or we are brothers no more! - You...
Pang Wan!
What are you up to?
Don't blame me for this.
- You! - What are you doing?
- Don't stop me. I'm going to kill her! - You can't!
She is our only bargaining chip to rescue Her Ladyship.
Heroes fall victim to beauties.
I can't allow His Lordship to be wavered again.
Come with me to meet His Lordship.
Come on!
What's the matter?
My Lord, he wants to kill Yu Miao Ge.
I stopped him in time.
Why would you do that?
Because she brings calamities, and so does Her Ladyship.
As long as they are alive, you will be distracted.
You will always have an Achilles heel and forget about your great ambitions!
- That is my personal matter. - No!
It concerns everyone!
We put our lives in your hands and follow your orders.
Why did we do that?
It's because we want a bright future.
But now our lives are at stake because you are too sentimental!
Hai Tian, who is at fault here? You or us?
Such insolence! How can you speak to His Lordship in that manner?
I'm just being honest!
The loser has to fall.
I won't defend myself. Just kill me.
Who said anything about killing you?
Leave now. Just go.
- My Lord! - He is right.
But Pang Wan, listen up. I am still Your Lordship.
I can choose the path I want to take.
So can you.
I won't stop you from leaving.
The both of you may leave now.
Fine! Forget about it!
My life is worthless anyway!
If you're fearless, what have I got to fear?
This is my fault. I'll take my leave.
Xiao Hui, write a letter to Yun Kuang.
Tell him we will exchange hostages.
Yes.
Do you remember the first time we met my godfather?
He liked you so much.
He liked me very much as well.
How did we come to this?
I don't know and I refuse to think about it.
I dare not think about it.
Do you know what I was thinking about
when I was hung up against the city walls?
I was caught in between the man I once loved and my husband.
If the war should start, I'd rather the both of you strike towards me.
I wouldn't have to face any of this if I was dead.
We are exchanging hostages tomorrow.
From this day on, I won't show him any mercy because he is your husband.
I know.
Yun Kuang, I won't allow this war to go on.
- I will ask Hai Tian to give up. - Don't!
If Hai Tian insists on going against me, why should I back down?
I will definitely kill him!
I will stay strong.
I wish you every happiness.
Hai Tian! Peace was already restored.
Why would you provoke and renew disturbances?
The world should be ruled by a noble ruler.
Hold on to your throne if you can.
If you can't, I will take over your throne!
Bring it on!
That day will come! Let's go!
Has he been good?
He has. He falls asleep very quickly.
This child has had a hard life with all that has happened to him.
Why don't the three of us return to Central Shu?
I want to settle down.
Not at the moment.
Why not?
Does the throne really matter that much to you?
Why are you trying to talk me out of it?
- You're worried about Yun Kuang? - I'm worried about the both of you.
You are my husband and he is my friend.
It will hurt me to see either of you injured.
I'm sorry but we are already at the point of no return.
Are you going to ignore moral responsibilities?
Are you going to ignore my feelings as well?
Fine! I get it!
You are just a murderous dictator who pursues fame and wealth.
Le Er, you have to be fair.
If I were Yun Kuang, would you have talked him out of it?
- I would! - But would he listen to you?
If he won't do it, then why should I?
This is now a matter of life and death.
Do I deserve to die just because I'm in love with you?
My life doesn't matter, but what about my men?
Should my people die along with me as well?
It's not that I won't do as you said.
Don't you understand that I have no other choice?
Then promise me this.
Don't kill him, please?
Greetings to the Warlord.
Miao Ge, Hai Tian is not the man he was.
We are neck and neck in this war.
What if...
I have prepared a carriage for you.
Leave the palace tomorrow.
No. I want to be with you forever.
The day when you are no longer alive, neither will I be.
Why?
You might not have me on your mind.
But you are the only man on my mind.
I've had many wrongdoings in my life.
This time, I hope I can follow my heart.
I want to make the right decision for once.
All right.
Miao Ge, I have some unanswered questions.
Since we first started the war
I've always been invincible and undefeatable.
The more dangerous a war is, the more confidence I have.
However, I am at a loss this time.
Should a ruler fight to defend his nation?
Or should he choose not to in order to defend his nation?
Warlord, stop thinking about it.
I've prepared some broth to calm your nerves.
- Let's have some together? - Sure.
Yun Kuang, I found this while I was going through Godfather's belongings.
What does it say?
Godfather said he had built a good relationship with the Huns.
They will come to our aid if needed.
Godfather could foresee with such accuracy.
That's great! We will win the battle for sure.
What will happen to Le Er?
- Xiao Hui. - My Lady.
Could you do me a favor?
My Lady, by all means.
- I want to go to the palace. - Well...
The people have already chosen, so we will definitely win this war.
But Yun Kuang and Miao Ge are my friends and family.
I want to bade farewell to them.
Can you understand my actions?
Are you worried His Lordship will blame you for taking me there?
It is only right that you do. After all, you are his subordinate.
It's all right. I won't bother you.
I'll go there on my own.
My Lady, please wait a minute.
Are you going to stop me from going?
No. However, circumstances have changed.
His Lordship has already written a letter of armistice to the Warlord.
They will settle the dispute and divide the states between the both of them.
How can this be?
My Lady, you should know about His Lordship's feelings towards you.
My Lord.
- Help the Prime Minister out. - Yes!
My Lord, I'm sorry for having misunderstood you.
I'm used to being misunderstood by you.
I...
Our child is going to wake up soon.
Don't leave him on his own.
- He will cry. - Yes.
My Lord! Has Yun Kuang agreed to the terms?
I've done all that I could.
- If he doesn't agree to it... - He will agree to it!
Let me make this trip and he will agree to it!
- I meant to say... - He has already agreed to it.
Because he is a fool like me.
Yun Kuang, we will now divide the states among us and stay out of each other's turf.
The people will then have a peaceful life.
I hope these are your true words.
Why would I bother doing this if I don't really mean it?
You should know who had a better chance at winning the war this time round.
Do you remember we first started the wars to overthrow the tyrant?
After all this time and wars, the emperor of Chen State is long gone.
And yet, we are still fighting.
All these extra years of war bored me.
I'm so bored I don't even know how to address you when you stand before me.
My sworn-brother!
Honestly, I don't believe any of this.
Like we used to, let's clap our hands together to make an oath.
Like I said before, the Warlord has the final say.
I still have affairs to tend to in the army.
Allow me to take my leave.
Treat her better.
She is my wife so it's none of your business.
Farewell.
We had the upper hand.
Aren't you sowing the seeds of calamity by letting him go free?
Yun Qi, is it that important whether we go to war or not?
Greetings to the Warlord.
- You may all rise. - Thank you, Warlord.
I hadn't expected the people to be so happy about our peace agreement.
The longer the war is, the more nervous the people are.
Now that the war is over, the people are at ease.
Silence!
There will be no more wars!
Your husbands and sons can all retire to a peaceful life in the fields!
I will celebrate this day with my people!
- What's the matter? - You've never been so kind to me.
I will always treat you with kindness from this day forward.
We will start a new life together.
We will be very happy.
Look. Only these plants with white leaves can heal severe wounds.
The purple ones are poisonous and can't be used in treatments.
- You mustn't pick them. - This is the one.
Someone is screaming. Let's take a look.
My Lady, we are all women.
What if we run into danger?
We can't leave someone to die without even trying to help.
Hey!
The bears don't eat the dead. Lie flat and pretend to be dead!
Hey!
He isn't dressed like us so maybe he isn't from here and can't understand our language?
Hey!
Good boy, sleep tight!
Be good and go to sleep.
- What's the matter? - Nothing. I just can't seem to sleep well.
Why don't you sit up and have a chat with me?
I ran into a huge bear today.
- Are you all right? - I'm fine.
A stranger saved my life.
Who is he? I'll reward him tomorrow.
He left already.
I really don't understand why we are still here.
I want to go back home.
The soldiers might be worn out if we travel back right after the war.
But staying here isn't ideal either.
All right, I know. Go to bed.
Le Er.
Le Er?
Recently, he's been sneaking out in the middle of the night.
What is he up to?
It's you!
Your Lordship has great insight.
You've planted a spy at Yun Kuang's.
If he strikes an alliance with the Huns, we won't even stand a chance.
Impatience spoils great plans.
Now that the Huns are bribed by us the nation will soon be ours.
Le Er.
What a hypocrite.
A hypocrite and his conniving heart.
What are you doing here?
How can I reveal your conspiracy if I'm not here to witness it?
I thought that you settled for a peace treaty for my sake.
- I was even grateful for it. - Le Er.
Yun Kuang isn't a good ruler so this is for the sake of our people.
Do you think I will believe any of your lies?
Listen up, Hai Tian! I won't believe a word you say!
I'm going to tell Yun Kuang about this.
- My Lord, please forgive me but I... - You didn't do anything wrong.
- Lock her up and keep an eye on her. - Yes.
Be good. I just fed him this morning.
Why is he crying again?
He must be feeling unwell.
Untie me so I can take a look at him.
Xiao Hui, you're a big man who knows martial arts.
Are you afraid I will run away?
Hurry up! I want to look at my child.
Bring my child to me.
- My Lady! - Don't come any closer!
I'm sorry but I have to stop this war from happening.
Please... Please take care of my child.
My Lady...
The war has begun. It's too late.
What is this about?
Warlord, look.
One! Two! Three! Four! One! Two...
Why are there female soldiers?
I saw you've dismissed the troops.
In case of an emergency, you won't have anyone to protect you.
So I've specially trained an army of female soldiers.
Do I need women to protect me?
Warlord, you shouldn't belittle us.
Your martial arts might be second to none, but you might be outnumbered.
We might not be up to par but at least we can hold the enemies off for a while.
If anything should happen, I'd have to look to my Empress' female army for help.
One! Two!
- Yun Kuang! - What's going on?
Hai Tian is a crook! He's sent his troops in!
You must evacuate the people immediately! Hurry!
Yes!
Hai Tian! How could you go back on your words?
Warlord.
It seems the peaceful days are over.
No matter what life might be like, I will be content as long as I am with you.
- Warlord. - Don't get up.
Why are you wielding a sword as well?
The enemies are invading without any difficulty.
Aren't you frightened?
I'm not.
I promise you this will soon be over.
We will soon restore peace to our lands.
I can rest in peace with such words of assurance.
I won't let you die.
I won't let you die even if I am defeated.
My father was defeated in the war when Wei State fought against Chen State.
He asked my mother if she was willing to kill herself for the country.
My mother was reluctant.
I've always thought she was right.
What could be more important than life?
But I've now changed my mind.
Warlord, I'm different from Le Er.
She is a feminist with great ambitions.
She can go on with her life without a man.
But I am but a meek woman.
All I ever wanted is to be with you.
I've told you that if you pass away
I won't stay alive either.
Do you know my true feelings?
Warlord, I've just learned a few moves.
- I'll show them to you? - Sure.
