Episode 06
Mu Rong Feng!
Look out!
Let me go! Let go!
You bastard! I sacrificed myself to get you a piece of land!
But you plotted against me! If you have guts, come fight me one on one!
If I don't kill you today, I will not be able to die in peace!
Mu Rong Feng! Mu Rong Feng!!
Mu Rong Feng.
Jing Wan, what's the matter with you?
Jing Wan.
Jing Wan!
I will kill you!- Don't move!
Chang Degui!
You bastard!
I should have killed you from the start.
Call for the doctor now.
What's going on?
What happened?
Commander Cheng.
Don't panic.
There are Chengzhou Army soldiers in the ballroom.
We are here to ensure everyone's safety.
Don't panic. You are to stay here.
For the safety of everyone, please don't leave for the time being.
With me here, I can guarantee everyone's safety.
What's going on?
Everyone, please take a seat.
Please sit. Everyone, don't be afraid.
Since Commander Cheng is here, you will all be safe and sound.
Don't be afraid. Sit. Everything's fine.
Go.
Why is it suddenly so quiet out there?
The banquet should have started.
In-law Lan, whose residence is this?
Young Master, this is Chengzhou's Commander in Chief's residence.
Commander in Chief?
The Commander in Chief's residence?
Young Master, please stay seated. I need to go too.
I will be back.
In-law Lan.

There is no noise. I think it has calmed down now.
I wonder if someone is behind this chaos.
My heart keeps beating very quickly.
I wonder what Commander Cheng is doing over there.
Mom. What will happen to Dad?
Madam Chang, don't talk nonsense. You are scaring us.
That's right.
Mom. Little Sister. This is the Governor's residence.
Fourth Brother's men are protecting us. Nothing will happen to us.
I'm worried about your father in-law.
There were a few gunshots heard from the meeting room.
That's right.
Commander Cheng, what happened?
Third Miss, do not worry. Everything happened according to Fourth Master's orders.
What should we do now?
Treat everything as normal. Tell the kitchen to serve the food for the meal.
Housekeeper, serve the food.
Yes. Serve the food.
Everyone, please don't be shy. Enjoy your food.
Eat.
Everyone, please eat now.
Fourth Master and Miss Yin will be here soon.
Third Miss, please take a seat as well.
Everyone, let's eat now. The food is getting cold. Here.
That's right. Eat now.
Mom, eat now.
Mrs. Li, have this. Sis, eat now.
How can I have an appetite to eat?
Madam Chang.
Don't walk around. Please eat peacefully.
Please.
Mom, what should we do?
It's okay. Let's eat.
Let's eat.
Eat now.
It looks serious.
Fourth Master, how is your injury?
In-law Lan, please check on Miss.
Yes, Master.
Uncle Cheng, is everything all right downstairs?
Fourth Master, rest assured even though the Generals' wives and children were scared, everything's all right.
Everything is normal. Don't worry, the banquet has started.
We need to watch them closely.
Nobody is allowed to leave without my permission.
Yes, Fourth Master.
Young Master.
You are...?
Third Miss was just informed that Miss Yin's cousin arrived.
She sends her regards. The meal just started, please come and enjoy it.
It is very lively here today? What are they celebrating?
Today is Miss Yin's birthday.
Miss Yin's birthday?
My mistress said that you are Miss Yin's closest relation.
We are just like family. Please don't be formal.
Then..has Miss Yin returned?
Miss Yin will be back soon.
Is Senior Master Yin also here?
Miss Yin lives alone.
Which Senior Master Yin are you referring to?
Please thank Miss Yin on my behalf.
Please tell her that
it's not convenient for me to go over.
Please take a seat here, young Master. I will tell the kitchen to bring food here.
Thanks.
How irritating!
We are already so preoccupied and now have to serve another person.
If one day, Miss Yin marries Fourth Master,
you will not have many opportunities to serve her cousin.
You are right. It seems that Miss Yin will become our residence mistress.
This is impossible.
How could this be possible?
I have consulted with Doctor Smith.
We are in agreement that we cannot move the patient.
We should do the surgery immediately.
Okay, let's do the surgery immediately.
Fourth Master. Miss Yin's condition is unstable.
The bullet wound is very deep.
I hope it has not touched the heart.
It will not be easy to take out.
And we cannot guarantee we will succeed.
What do you mean?
If the bullet grazed the heart, we are afraid...
We are afraid it will...
Fourth Master...- How can you not be sure?
I asked you to simply remove the bullet. And you say it can endanger her life?!
I'm sincerely sorry, Fourth Master.
We can't really make any guarantees.
If you want us to proceed, you must prepare for the worse.
What kind of doctors are you? Get lost!
- Oh, god!Get lost!
Fourth Master, calm down.
Fourth Master, why don't we let Xin Zhi give it a try?
He just came back from France a few days ago.
That's right, Xin Zhi. I totally forgot about him.
That's right. With him here, everything will be fine.
Doctor Cheng, thank you for rushing here.
- Where is the patient? - She's upstairs. Please come with me.
Commander Cheng, he has arrived.
- Dad. - Xin Zhi, go up. Fourth Master is waiting for you.
- Okay. - This way, please.
Over there.
Please.
Pei Lin...
Xin Zhi. You are here.
Pei Lin, it has been too long.
Are you okay?
- I'm fine. - Take me to the patient.
Let's go.
Fourth Master!
So how?
The wound is very deep and she has also lost a lot of blood.
We need to operate now.
Can you guarantee she will live?
She is my first patient since my return. Don't worry.
Go out and wait.
Based on what you said, I'm handing her over to you.
Prepare for surgery.

Fourth Master!
Is it done?
I finished revising the address to the nation. Would you like to read it?
Read it.- Yes.
General Xu Zhiping stationed at Wangzhou and General Chang Degui stationed near Cheng - Ying Railway
collaborated with my late father for many years.
During my accession to power, I strongly relied on and believed in them.
They cooperated together to influence political affairs.
Using their influence with the military, they ignored protocol and encouraged their solidiers to harm the citizens.
Fourth Master, shall we make this address public for the whole country?
Is there any news from the North?
Not yet. But Commander Cheng's two divisions were dispatched between Zhiping and Wangzhou.
Jiang Shuangxi's soldiers fight along the railway.
It allows us to immobilize General Chang and General Xu's troops, so they won't act up.
I'll leave them be for the time being.
When I'm able, I will annihilate Jiang Shuangxi's troops.
Notify me as soon as there is any news from the North.
You finally took it out.
Miss, don't worry.The surgery was a success. You will be fine.
You will recover soon.
Fourth Master, a telegram from Zhang Qiyun.- What does it say?
It says he took over power of General Xu' troops.
Officers from the Fourth Division handed in their resignations.
Make my decision public in the next few hours.- Yes.
You will prepare my message to the President of the Republic.
Also, send an encoded telegraph to him to explain what happened.
Yes.
General Xu and General Chang fostered a rebellion.
Fearing failure, they plotted together to commit a coup.
This is an internal scandal.
The more we try to hide it, the more rumors will spread.- Yes, I will do it right away.
- How is the situation downstairs? - It's fine.
Good, for the time being.
Yes, Fourth Master. Is there anything else?
Fourth...
Guard the south gate.
All guests close to either General cannot leave. Stop them.
Everyone besides Third Miss.
Yes.
Xin Zhi, how was it?
Fourth Master, everything is fine.
Xin Zhi, good job.
The patient is still very weak. This week will be critical.
Since there was a lot of bleeding, there is a risk of infection.
But if we keep an eye on it, she should remain unscathed.
It has been difficult on you. Fortunately, we had you.
You may go to her, but she is still under anesthesia.
She will wake up later.

Fourth Master.
What actually happened? I heard someone tried to assassinate Fourth Master.
If anything happened to him, it would be a coup d'etat!
Don't make wild assumptions.
Everything's fine, Third Miss.
- Silence! - Commander Cheng is here! What exactly happened?!
Silence! Fourth Master gave me an order
to explain to everyone about the gun shot heard during the celebration.
I am here to do it now.
It was discovered that General Chang Degui and General Xu Zhiping, from the Chengzhou Army,
lacked military discipline after the former Governor's death.
They secetly smuggled in guns and ammunition
and hid them in a warehouse in Yangxi.
They secretly transferred a significant number of troops to surround Chengzhou.
It is undeniable that General Xu and General Chang plotted a rebellion.
What? What? - A rebellion?
You are shamelessly slandering loyal Generals!
They remained loyal to the former Governor and Fourth Master!
They wouldn't rebel!
No way! My father would never rebel! You unjustly accuse them!
Yes! They are innocent!
What an injustice!
Mom, what exactly is going on?
I don't know either.
Sister-in-law, immediately go and speak to Fourth Master.
My father is innocent!- Yes!
Keep quiet.
While attending an important military meeting at Chengzhou,
General Chang and General Xu came to the meeting room in the Governor's residence
with hidden guns,
intending to kill Fourth Master after the meeting.
They were stopped by bystanders. Therefore their act of rebellion and assassination is undeniable.
This is not possible.
My in-law wanted to assassinate my Fourth Brother?
What are you going to do with him?
They were shot on site.
Shot?!
Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu, wake up.
You are being too severe.
Quick. Let's find your Fourth Brother and reason with him.
How is he so cruel to kill your grandfather?
Quick, let's go.
Stop there.
I want to see Mu Rong Feng. No one can stop me. Let's go!
Stop there! I will shoot if you leave.
Commander Cheng, please! I will take care of them!
We won't go anywhere.
I'm making the announcement first. The celebration ends now.
Everyone, leave this place peacefully.
Let's go.
Get on.
Mom. Little Sister. Go back first.
I will go to the Chang's house and reason with Fourth Brother.
Your Fourth Brother is too ruthless.
I didn't know
that your loyal father-in-law, who dedicated his life to the army,
would end up in such a pitiful way.
I am sorry, Madame and Miss Xu. Due to Fourth Master's order, you are not allowed to leave the residence.
Why?
What are you doing?
Mom! Sis!
Help me.
- Mom! - Help me.
Stop. Sorry, Mrs. Xu. You can't leave.
What? I am innocent! You cannot stop me! Let me go!
Where is Fourth Brother now? Tell me.
He is upstairs.
Fourth Master, the guests have left.
Relatives of both General Xu and General Chang were detained.
Uncle Cheng, it has been hard on you.
If you hadn't backed me, our plan would have failed.
Don't talk about this.
How is Miss Jin's condition?
You have educated your son well.
Xin Zhi is composed and highly skilled.
Thanks to him, Jing Wan's operation was successful.
It's good that she's fine.
If there is nothing else, please go back and rest.
Come back in the evening for the military meeting.- All right.
Jia Ping, see him out.
Fourth Master.
What should we do with General Xu and General Chang's relatives?
They will be confined. We will discuss their fate during the meeting.
But Fourth Master, apart from those present at the celebration,
the Xu and Chang families have dozens of relatives.
What will we do?
Let it be for right now.
Fourth Master! We need to destroy the evil at its roots. Otherwise the consequences will be dire.
You also cannot act gentle towards women.
One has to settle it without hesitation.
Fourth Master, it concerns the lives of many people.
One should think about it well before acting.
Uncle Cheng, do according to what Jin Zhi said.

Quick!
Commander! Commander, please spare me. Commander!
Stop there.
Let's go.
Please, sir.
Please let me go. I'm still young.
I am Fourth Master's brother-in-law. You cannot kill me!
Fourth Brother. I want to see Fourth Brother!
Let me go.
Third Miss.
Fourth Brother.
Miss, stay calm.
I'm Mu Rong's family.
Miss, keep calm.
Miss.
Miss, keep calm.
Why did they stop me from seeing Fourth Brother?
You must take care of your health.
Miss. Don't do this.
You must keep calm.
Here.
You don't smoke like me, right?
Yes.
You must be very tired.
It seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time.
Yes, it has been more than four years.
If only father was still around now you are back.
We would have gone hunting and drank tea without any worries.
After his death
the burden of managing all six provinces north of the river was placed upon my shoulders.
Xin Zhi.
Sometimes, I feel tired
and am afraid I can't go on.
Pei Lin. My father and Jin Xi
cannot stop praising you. They say you were raised well.
In the eye of danger, you remain calm and composed,
just like your father, the former Governor.
What do you think?
Me?
You should know that I don't have any political opinions nor am I interested in them.
But I hope you can gain power
to kill the fewest people possible and end the war
so people can live peacefully.
Live peacefully?
But our times are marked with repetive wars.
The winner becomes king and he slays the bandits.
I try to bring peace to the people. But who will offer peace to me?
Pei Lin, you really have changed.
Since the day my father was killed, I changed.
I remember you would tell me that
when you grew up, you wanted to let people live in peace.
Do you still remember that?
Even when I matured, this has always been my dream
but still it's a long and slow journey.
One needs to take many detours before arriving at the final destination.
You are finding too many excuses for yourself.
I do not agree with you.
Xin Zhi. No matter what,
I will always regard you as my best friend.
You are my only friend.
Of course, we are best friends.
This love that we have for each other since we were young
will never change.
Xin Zhi. There something I need your help with.
What is it?
We managed to repress General Xu and General Chang's rebellion.
Jing Wan has already passed the dangerous stage.
There is one last matter.
You are my most trusted friend.
I hope you can help me.
What is it about?
It's regarding the baby in Third Sister's belly.
I'm afraid I may not being able to help you with this.
Fourth Master Murong, based on what we know, you know that
your priority is to manage the country. Mine is to cure people.
If I am to give someone medicine, it is to reduce the pain or to heal them.
If you want me to use my medical skills to do harm,
I have only this to say. I can't do it.
If you want me to use my scalpel for this,
then please cut them off.
Xin Zhi, you misunderstood me.
What I wanted to say is that Third Sister is very weak.
Furthermore, she has suffered a big blow.
I'm afraid that her baby may be in danger.
I hope that you can protect our family's next generation.
Pei Lin. You really don't intend to abort the baby?
Of course not. This baby is Third Sister's only hope.
How could I take away her only hope to survive?
Even more so, when this baby grows up and wants to avenge his family,
I will accept it.
- Go down. - Yes.
Fourth Brother, you are back. I wanted to see you but they didn't allow it.
Fourth Brother, I'm begging you. Let the Chang family go.
-Third Sister.- No matter what crimes General Chang committed,
the rest of the family is innocent.
I'm begging you. Based on our sibling relationship,
let my family go. Let my husband go.
- Third Sister. - Fourth Brother, I'm begging you.
I'm begging you.
Don't get upset.
Look at how pale your face is.
- You haven't eaten, right? - Fourth Brother.
I told the kitchen to cook some bird nest porridge.
I'm so anxious. Where would I find the appetite to eat?
Here, I will feed you.
- Third Sister. - Fourth Brother, I'm begging you.
Please let the Chang family go.
I'm begging you.
Third Sister!
I'm begging you.
It's too late.
It's already too late.
How could you be so cruel?
They are my family
and your relatives too.
Third Sister.
Can you understand my predicament?
You know that if we let any of the Chang family go,
our Murong family would always be in danger.
Don't tell me you are not part of the Chang family, too.
Third Sister.
Don't tell me my baby is not part of the Chang family too.
Third Sister.
- We have all been harmed by you. - Third Sister.
- We have all been harmed by you. - Third Sister, don't panic.
Think about the baby!
Don't come here.
Third Sister!
Don't come here.
- Let me go. - Third Sister.
Let me go.
Third Sister.
Third Sister, what's wrong with you?
Men, call the doctor now.
Third Sister.
How is Third Sister?
She is still very weak but she is out of danger.
That's good then.
But...
But what?
The baby in her belly...
she has lost it.
Lost it?
It can't be.
Pei Lin!
Fourth Master.
Fourth Master, the officers are gathered!
Go away. Don't bother me!
This meeting is about stabilizing the situation after the incident.
Please rethink your decision, Fourth Master.
Dear Seniors. Everyone probably already knows that
my father did not die because of sickness,
but was assassinated.
But when I rose to power, in order to pacify the military troops and stabilise the situation,
I decided to not to share this sad news.
However, my father's death has brought me insufferable grief.
I would not be worthy of my father's blessing had I not tracked down the assassins.
Therefore, I led a secret investigation concerning my father's death.
During the detailed investigation,
I discovered that my father
was assassinated by General Xu and General Chang.
After the assassination of the former Governor,
Fourth Master was the real target at Yingzhou, and of Chang and Xu's attacks.
He returned to Chengzhou under a rain of bullets, to claim military power.
He claimed power by facing a very dangerous situation.
Chengzhou was trapped on both sides by enemies.
In the North, Jiang Shuangxi was fighting greedily. In the South, the Jiangzhi Army did not stop, causing many troubles.
General Xu and General Chang, led by mad ambition, were ready to revolt.
In order to accomplish this important mission, Fourth Master accepted ridicule.
In order to stabilise the situation, he had to play a battle of wits with General Xu and General Chang.
Despite his young age, he's proven himself perceptive, thoughtful and reserved.
In order to face General Xu and General Chang, he devised a clever ploy.
Pretending to be preoccupied with pleasantries, he took up a series of pretenses.
He discovered their plot step by step.
He managed to decrease their force, decrease their vigilance and monitor their actions.
Finally, taking advantage of the birthday celebration, he managed to take down the rebellion.
I saw with my own eyes how Fourth Master
ended this tiresome battle
and I am very moved.
Now the situation in the six northern provinces is stable.
Orders reign again in the Chengzhou Army. Citizens were spared the war's sufferings.
It is all thanks to the Fourth Master who won the deadly struggle for power.
Fourth Master is forward-thinking and decisive. The former Governor has a worthy successor.
People can lead a peaceful life.
Fourth Master is perceptive. He is as good as the former Governor was.
Peace and prosperity to all six provinces north of the river
lay in your hands.
We will serve the Fourth Master until we die.
