Episode 12
I wonder how Jing Wan is doing.
Right now are separated by mountains and rivers.
War rages.
I wonder if I will have the opportunity to see her again.
Reporting to Lieutenant Shen. Commander Yu sent a telegram.
It says that he has something important to report to Fourth Master.
At this time,
Fourth Master doesn't like to be disturbed.
But Commander Yu said...
Enough, I get it.
I will relay this to Fourth Master later.
Go back first.- Yes.
Jing Wan. You are back.
You are really back.
Jing Wan.
Jing Wan!
I do not care if one can only love once.
Seated in a place occupied by you, I remember your silhouette.
I do not care if one can only love once.
Fallen into a place that you occupied, I sing from my memory.
Fourth Master, all the Generals are present.
They are waiting for you now.
Fourth Master, the Yingzhou Army launched brutal attacks against Zhangjingyi.
Our army resisted but many are dead or wounded.
Fourth Master, the Yingzhou Army attacked at night.
Our camps were overtaken and many houses were burned
which caused many deaths and injuries among the nearby Zhangjingyi population.
We remain loyal to Fourth Master's orders
and will follow you until death.
I ran out of patience. We cannot support it anymore.
- We must fight this battle. - Yes!
Miss, come and take a look quick.
Master Xu and your wedding announcement is in the newspaper.
This is a formal announcement.
Why are you overly excited about this?
It's not the same as other people's annoucements are minor news
but take a look. Yours and Master Xu's (announcement)
is really big with a photo.
Miss. You look really good in this photo.
Miss. What's wrong?
Take it away. This photo
doesn't look nice at all.
You came.
It's nothing.
Master Xu. Miss Yin is here.
Have you waited long?
I only just arrived.
Master Xu. Miss Yin. We saw your announcement in the newspaper.
Congratulations. Our boss says the same thing.
A smart gentleman and a true beauty!
You are a very compatible pair.
- Thank you. - Master Xu, you are too kind. Thank you.
Thank you. Please enjoy.
Coming.
I never imagined that the newspaper article would be that big.
How could they devote half a page for it?
Frankly, marriage is between two people.
It doesn't matter who knows about it.
I don't want others to know about it.
Me too. It's just that Uncle and Aunt Yin,
and Grandma... I'm afraid those seniors
place importance on this. We should respect them.
That's right. They love to maintain their face (dignity).
The armies of both Chengzhou and Yingzhou have entered into war.
What? They are fighting again?
- Is this news reliable? - Of course, it is.
A few days ago the newspaper said that the war would not break out again so soon.
So it's really hard to say.
Let's go and have tea now.
They are fighting again.
This mess will last for awhile.
It's been four or five years since the two armies have fought.
These kinds of truce never lasts long.
The conflict was inevitable.
It is not known when it will end.
When there is war,
the ones who suffer are the citizens.
Jing Wan. Are you okay?
It is really strange that Mu Rong declared war, though.
His decicion does not seem well-thought out.
Now the Chengzhou Army is inferior. It will not be able to advance.
Exactly. Yingzhou Army defeated their rivals from Anguo.
Their morale is really high.
Without the interference of foreign governments, they would have declared war a month earlier.
Mu Rong is not at all reasonable. If he launches an attack, it will be a total failure.
In my opinion, it is not certain. Mu Rong signed a peace treaty with Jiang Shuangxi
and now declared war with the Yingzhou Army.
There is something suspicious about it. What would you say?
Not at all. Mu Rong will not succeed without the support of Cheng's Army.
It's true.
Of course.
Jing Wan.
I don't want to live in a world ruled by chaos.
Despite the chaos
we will be living our own lives.
I'll take care of you and protect you.
Have no fear.
Come, drink some tea.
Sir, according to your recommendation,
I have come to present to you
the dowry list.
Did you properly review it?
We are in the midle of it.
Here is the detailed list.
Do you want to take a look?
Go rest now.
You are working hard these days.
Mom, why are you looking at me like that?
Jing Wan, why are you not interested
in what we have prepared for your dowry?
Mom!
Okay, I won't say anything.
Are there any big stories in the newspaper?
It seems that the war will continue.
If it continues, the price of grain will increase again.
Whatever it is,
it will not affect Wuchi, right?
We should prepare for the worst.
We have already stored extra grain
to be prepared.
If that is the case, we'd better
move temporarily to the South.
It won't be easy for Mu Rong
to come to Wuchi. Look.
The Chengzhou Army lost Miarian.
They failed to take Jizheng.
In my opinion, it is not certain
if they can defend Yujiakou.
Daughter, I am waiting a very long
for that peeled apple.
Oh, I will be done soon.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt Team @Viki
Come, connect me with Yujiakou.- Yes!
Hello? Connect me with Yujiakou.
Fourth Master.
Hello? How's the situation on the front?
Ammunition is enroute.
Li Ma Ruisheng's attack is violent. You need to desperately fight back.
Slow down his attack and persevere
to completely destroy their morale!
What? Yingzhou has two divisions of reinforcements?
Listen carefully. At all cost,
you can not lose the Yujiakou post.
Here is my order: Soldiers of Laomingshan will join up with you tonight.
You need to defend Yujiakou at all costs.
Hello? Hello?! Speak!
Hello? Hello? He...
Fourth Master, should we transfer troops from the front?
Too late. The battle in Yujiakou will start in a few days.
Fourth Master, don't worry. Yujiakou has a natural barrier that is not easy to overtake.
Let's hope so.
This blasted Ma Ruisheng wants to start a quick counter attack.
I underestimated him this time.
Fourth Master!
Sensational news!
Yujiakou was taken!
Yujiakou was taken? Impossible!
With Yujiakou taken, Yingzhou is now in danger.
Will we also lose Chengzhou?
We need to gather things quickly and flee to the South.- All right.
Okay, go ahead.
You have arrived early.
The military situation is critical. Who can sleep late?
Let's go and listen to Fourth Master.
Please. Only Fourth Master can solve the problems with the ammunition.
That's all. I will follow up with you after the meeting.
Where is Fourth Master?
The loss of Yujiakou means we are totally defeated on the front,
and now Yingzhou is in danger.
We need Fourth Master to tell us what to do.
I'm looking for him too. I arrived yesterday around midnight,
but have not even seen a shadow of him or Lieutenant Shen.
Then what should we do?
Don't worry, brothers.
As the war rages, Fourth Master would never abandon his post.
Keep calm, brothers.
Reporting to Commander Yu, I searched everywhere
but Fourth Master is nowhere to be seen.
He really disappeared.
How can he disappear at such a crucial moment?
Is he in some kind of danger?
If yes, what should we do?
Come. Come. Take the lantern.
Come, I will help you.
Great victory!
Great victory!- What's going on?
Great victory!
A great victory at Yujiakou. We won!
Uncle Fu, let me read it.
Yujiaokou fell
then YingZhou...
Let me look.
As I said, the war will not last too long.
Yujiakou is of paramount importance for the Chengzhou Army.
After the fall of Yujiakou,
Yingzhou would naturally be next in line.
But the Chengzhou Army is now at the south gate.
Yujiakou is a strategic point of the Cheng-Ying Railway. Loosing it makes the Chengzhou Army at a disadvantage.
The Yingzhou Army won't be able to move forward without encountering obstacles.
The war will end in a month.
For years, the Chengzhou Army fought against the Yingzhou Army. Neither being the victorious or the defeated.
How can we be sure they will lose this time?
You don't understand. The outcome of war is unpredictable.
It's just that the fall of Yujiakou is Chengzhou Army's first defeat in ten years.
Perhaps this is due to departure of the Cheng family troops.
Lord, the wedding gifts from Xu family have arrived.
Dad.
I am returning to my room.
Quick, quick.
Master Yin. Madame Yin.
What a happy event!
Thank you. We are happy too.
On this happy occasion we came to offer some presents.
Young Master Xu ordered me to bring them in person.
What a great splendid occasion! What precious gifts!
It is first time I have seen such splendor after so many years.
Jian Zhang is really meticulous.- That's true.
Mister and Madam Yin. Our congratulations.
Mister and Madam Yin, this will be the biggest wedding ceremony ever in Wuchi!
Thank you. Please come in.
Pei Lin, if we hadn't met back then
would I be effected this much?
If I am not interested in you,
why is my heart troubled knowing that you were defeated?
I want my heart to forget all about the chaotic past>
so it can solely belong to somebody else.
Who is it? Come in.
Miss
What is it? - A letter for you.
To Miss Yin Jing Wan
Mr. Cheng, why have you come here?
Someone asked me to specicifically come to Wuchi
to bring this box to you.
Someone told me
you would know what it is and that I should carefully bring it to you.
Mr. Cheng, if there is anything you want to say, please say it.
Miss, after looking at this crane maybe
you would like to come out and talk with me?
But...- Don't worry. I won't take too much of your time.
All right.
Mr. Cheng, where do you want to take me?
Wuchi Hill.
Miss, I know
that today is a very important day for you. Don't worry.
I will bring you back before the end of the day.
Thank you.
Lieutenant Shen.
Thank you for still remembering me, Miss.
Thank You, Mr. Cheng,.
Miss Yin, it was not convenient to talk to you while in the car.
Now I can explain it all to you.
As you know, the armies of Chengzhou and Yingzhou have gone to war.
Therefore, it is a very crucial moment.
Lieutenant Shen is not allowed to venture into Yingzhou Army's territory.
That's why I brought you, Miss.
Yes, I was afraid that among all your friends
only Mr. Cheng, who saved your life, could bring you here.
That's why we have created this charade.
Please excuse our rudeness, Miss.
You are both too polite. I have no complaints.
Lieutenant Shen, the war is raging.
Risking your life, you came to Wuchi.
Did something bad happen?
Can I help you with anything?
Something happened to Fourth Master, am I right?
Miss, this way.

You have gone mad!
I have indeed. I have gone mad falling in love with you.
Do you want to die? How can you, as the Commander in Chief of the Chengzhou Army,
enter enemy land with war in full swing? What if...- Jing Wan...
I want you to know that you can't marry him.
I risked my life to see you because I want you to go with me.
I can't. No.
Nothing is impossible in this world if one wants it enough.
I cannot. I really can't.
I must get married.
Jing Wan, in that case... marry me.
I want to marry you!
Impossible.
You know all to well that it is impossible.
Jing Wan! Jing Wan! Come with me.
I cannot.
Go back quickly.
Your life is at risk if someone recognizes you.
You are worried about me.
No. You are worried about me.
What are you doing?
Jing Wan!
Never in my life was I ever this interested in a woman.
Do you know how much I want to give you everything you desire?
I thought you would realize by the way I treated you.
The gun shot failed to kill you and me.
At that time I made a promise to myself,
you would be mine for as long as we are alive.
We can start over.
I want to start over with you.
I will treat you well.
Better than in the past.
I bought this ring
especially for you.
To me
this is the only one I will ever buy.
I don't love you.
I can't go with you.
You don't love me?
That's the only thing you can say?
When I learned about your wedding,
I rushed here like a fool, to find you.
I risked my own life,
I abandoned the front while war was in full swing.
I abandoned half of my territory!
Despite everything, this is all you have to say to me?
Yes.
I don't love you.
The Generals have been waiting all day at the command post.
But Fourth Master is still not there.
They worry a lot.
The situation is alarming.
It would be normal that they burn with impatience.
Mr. Cheng, look
it is necessary to warn Fourth Master.
Since we're here, let them talk a bit more.
Yes.
Lieutenant Shen!- Is everything ready?
Every intersection leading to Lake Lodge must be carefully observed.
Negligence is not permitted.- Yes!
Send your men to carefully observe what is happening at the foot of the hill.
Don't worry. Pei Lin made it here.
So the area is definitely secured.
Despite what you said, I dare not allow any negligence.
We managed to sneak to Wuchi unnoticed this time. As if we were walking on pins and needles.
I dare not even think about it.
Even if we return safe and sound,
I will still be afraid.
Pei Lin is protected by heavens. Nothing will happen to him.
Dr. Cheng, to tell the truth,
I have been with him for so many years.
But I've never seen him so madly in love with a woman.
Now that the war is in full swing
he left the front to come here
for her to spare him only a glance?
I also think Pei Lin is very sentimental.
He is a man who risked his life to come here.
All this
happened because of Miss Yin.
I have to leave by the end of the day.
Can you at least
stay with me for a few hours?
I must return home.
You will spend your whole life with your family.
Why don't you want to give a little time to me?
Wait a moment.
Is it okay?
They look as if they were embroided.
I do not wear flowers.
I don't like it.
Are you afraid that white flowers mean you will be forever pure?- Fourth Master!
I don't believe in such things. You are more superstitious than me.
Come.
I'm thirsty.
Lieutenant Shen!
Fourth Master, what would you like?
Is there anything to drink here?
Yes. You can have tea.
They have good quality tea here.
I will leave you then.
I haven't drank any tea personally prepared by you before.
Fourth Master, please open this box.
Fourth Master, do you need my help?- No need.
First brew is for the fragrance.
You want to smell it, Fourth Master? It is high quality Tieguanyin tea.
Uhm...really fragrant.
Tieguanyin tea is described as «Spring water and the autumnal fragrance»
Spring tea infusion has a pleasant taste while autumn tea is fragrant.
By its fragrance, I find that it is a high quality autumn tea.
Jing Wan,
right now
you sound like my wife.
We act like a regular couple.
You've been enjoying tea
and I helped open the box that you could not open.
We are leading a quiet life and had an ordinary afternoon together.
Wouldn't it be great
if we could live like this...
Don't talk nonsense!
Drink it quickly. The tea will get cold.
Western cakes paired with ordinary Chinese tea.
What originality!
Since it is quiet here!
Jing Wan, close your eyes.
Quickly.

This place looks like a small stage,
a scene made only for us.
I've never danced at the bank of the lake.
If it was possible, I'd take you dancing on the iced river.
The two of us gliding on the ice.
Jing Wan, believe me.
Everything will be perfect in this world.
There is no need to feel sad.
Look. The sun is still shining
but night will arrive very soon.
