Episode 20
Fourth Master, all arrangements have been completed.
Bring more reinforcements.
Our small amount of soldiers
is no threat against the Yingzhou Army.
Yes.
Fourth Master, take a look.
General, is there something wrong with Master Xu's report?
Mu Rong Feng is all by himself. That's really strange.
Now that it has come to this,
I can't do anything but take a risk.
Bad news! It's an ambush!
Quick! Close the gate!
Close the gate. Quickly.
Hurry up!
Inside! Quick!
Damn! Trying to escape?
Charge!
Close the gate!
Mu Rong Feng. Let's see how long you can last!
Surround Wuchi!
Yes.
Quick, move it over here.
Let's go now.
Wait for me.
Let's go.
Go in now.
Close the door quickly.
As the Yingzhou Army surrounds Wuchi,
supplies are running low.
We are running out of medicine and ammunition too.
I'm afraid we can't hold on for much longer.
Everyone. Don't panic.
In a few days, we will have soldiers and ammunition coming into Wuchi.
Please don't worry.
Fourth Master, don't worry. As long as we have provisions, ammunition and medicine,
we can hold our post until Commander Yu comes back.
Fourth Master.
Bad news. I just received a telegram that
our provisions and ammunition
were taken over by the Yingzhou Army.
What?
Where is Xu Jian Zhang?
He didn't come back.
We don't know where he went.
How could this happen?
I am sure this evil Jian Zhang plotted secretly with the Yingzhou Army.
Why aren't you asleep yet?
Sorry, Pei Lin.
It's my fault.
Why are you saying this to me?
I'm not a good wife. I feel useless.
I couldn't help you at all.
It's because of me that you are in this circumstance.
You can't be blamed for this.
Why not? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have trusted Xu Jian Zhang.
He wouldn't had the chance to take revenge.
Don't ever think that.
One can never predict such things.
Whatever happens will happen.
I blame nobody but myself.
Xu Jian Zhang,
I misjudged him.
You treated him well and he took revenge.
I hate him. I want to tell them to capture him and bring him back now.
Xu Jian Zhang is not the main problem right now.
What is more urgent is to protect the citizens of Wuchi
and to escape from the danger.
Believe me.
We have overcome so many obstacles.
This time,
for sure, we will get through the difficulties.
Trust me.
These days
Sun Jingyi has once more started the war.
Despite the fierce resistance,
Mu Rong Feng, due to insufficient numbers
was unable to break away from the ambush.
Yingzhou Army surrounds the city of Wuchi without attacking it.
The citizens and Mu Rong' s Army are in a dire situation.
Presently,
all the the retail shops have been closed.
The Chengzhou Army is without food provisions.
A famine threatens.
Miss. Master Xu Jian Zhang from Wuchi has requested to see you.
I don't know anyone from Wuchi.
It's you.
You are the one who sold out Mu Rong Feng.
I didn't think you would have the courage to see me.
Men, capture him.
Yes.
Xu Jian Zhang.
Do you think you are capable with the support of the Yingzhou Army?
Aren't you afraid that I will capture you and take revenge on behalf of Mu Rong Feng?
Miss Jin Zhi.
Since I dared to come here, I'm not afraid to be captured.
Even more, I risked my life to benefit you.
Get straight to the point. Don't waste my time.
Wuchi is surrounded.
Miss Jin Zhi, you are probably aware of this.
This is the best time to rescue Mu Rong Feng.
You shouldn't make a mistake and lose this opportunity.
What a joke.
The Mu Rong and Cheng families maintain a very good relationship.
If they get caught in a desperate situation, we won't stand idly by.
Do not pretend to be an honest man.
You put him in a dangerous situation.
Why are you looking for me? What is your plan?
Yes, it is me who wants him dead.
This time you definitely should offer your help to him.
This is why I can't ruin it.
I have a proposal for you.
Why don't we work together to get the things we want?
What do you think?
There is a good chess move
to help you save Mu Rong Feng.
Force Jing Wan out
and allow yourself to get what you want.
I wonder whether Miss Jin Zhi will take the move?
Madam Mu Rong is going to distribute relief grains!
People, stand in line!
Stand in line!
Quick.
Properly wait.
Come, get in line.
Everyone will get some. Line up.
Everyone will get some.
Quick.
Line up.
Line up now.
What are you doing?
Let me do it.
Thank you.
Madam, there are eight of us in the family.
Please give me more.
Take this flour home.
If it's not enough for you, come back again.
Thank you, Madam.
Madam, you are very kind.
Good people will be rewarded.
Thanks.
Properly line up.
Don't rush. Everyone will get some.
Thanks.
Commander Yu asks
if he should stop defending Wangzhou and return with reinforcements.
Wangzhou is a natural barrier. He must fight for every inch of land.How can we stop defending it?
But...
if Commander Yu can't comes back in time,
I'm afraid we can't hold on.
Unless...
Unless you personally go
and seek help from Commander Cheng.
Fourth Master. I know this is difficult for you.
Can you go and see Commander Cheng and Miss Jin Zhi
to relieve the siege of Wuchi and save its citizens?
I am sure that Madam will understand.
No.
Jiang Ping. You should know that
regarding this matter,
it's not that simple as just asking Commander Cheng for help.
As for me, I absolutely can't
hurt Madam.
Line up.
Thanks.

Mom. Dad and I are here to visit you.
Daughter.
You dragged to me to your mother's grave.
You must have something to say
in front of me and your mother.
For the past few days, I don't know why
I dreamt of Mom.
I kept thinking about my childhood.
Daughter. Do you have any problems?
If so, just tell your mother.
Just tell her.
Dad. I need your help.
You are my daughter.
As long as I can help you, I will do my best.
Speak.
Father, I want to use all your military and financial power.
I want to negotiate with Mu Rong Feng.
Negotiate what?
We, the Chengs, will help Mu Rong out of this embarassing situation
under the condition
that he marries and seals an alliance with me.
Jin Zhi.
You must think carefully about this.
Dad, I have already thoroughly thought it over. That's why, in front of Mom's grave,
I'm making this request of you.
What have you thought over carefully? In my opinion, it's nearly impossible to separate military and personal matters.
Dad.
Have I been impulsive or foolish since leaving Chengzhou?
Even when Yin Jing Wan became his wife, did you see me cry or do stupi things?
This time it's different.
To me, this is the best opportunity. I can't make the same mistake again.
Jin Zhi. Marriage is a big deal.
You are going to hand over your happiness through an agreement?
I am afraid you are willing to bet your happiness on this deal
and that you will make a big mistake.
Dad.
So, you don't agree?
Dad.
Since when I was young, I was without my mother.
I spent my childhood starving and wandering through the streets.
Can't you grant me this one wish?
Daughter.
As long as this is what you want,
as long as you think you will be happy,
I will use everything that I have to trade for this.
Thank you.
Dad.
Did you bring Miss's summer shoes?
It is winter now.
Don't talk so much. Now go and prepare.
Yes.
Senior Master.
Jin Zhi.
Dad.
Are the clothes packed?
They are almost done.
Focus on it.
Uncle Zhong, it's hard on you.
It's not.
What else do you need?
Come upstairs with me for a while.
Okay.
Dad.
Seeing how busy you have been for the past few days,
my heart is uneasy.
What's wrong?
Your sister is going far away. As her brother,
you can't bear to see her go?
Do you know what I'm talking about?
I know.
You don't agree to letting our soldiers help Mu Rong Feng.
Of course, it's not that.
What I don't agree with is
that you treat Jin Zhi's marriage as a pact.
Xin Zhi.
You are too good and too simple.
There are many things you don't understand.
I really do not understand your political maneuvering.
But regarding marriage and love, you can't treat is as a pact.
Regarding this,
I know this better than you both.
Xin Zhi.
This is a reckless situation.
In this world,
everything can be traded. Nothing is as simple that.
Regarding this matter, Jin Zhi knows this better than you.
I know that
regardless of what I say, you both won't listen.
But today, I have something to say.
You can manipulate anything,
except human feelings.
I'm old.
What can I still manipulate?
Whatever I do is to allow your sister be happy.
You are wrong, Dad.
Perhaps, your arrangements today will make Jin Zhi become more unhappy.
There will come a day when you will understand
that your decision has destroyed her happiness.
Jin Zhi. Do you still remember what someone said?
Everyone has only one wing.
When one marries, his partner must be his second wing.
He also said that marriage is a beautiful thing
and it brings many blessings to one's life.
Jin Zhi.
I hope that your marriage will be pure-hearted.
Only then will you be able to distinguish
what is right and from what is wrong.
Brother, I love Pei Lin. I want to marry him.
Isn't this good enough?
But does Pei Lin love you?
Will he be happy to marry you?
Don't worry. Because of his ambition,
or for the benefit of his territory,
he will be willing to marry me.
Jin Zhi, marriage is a culmination of love between two people.
Not an exchange of interests!
Why can't you understand that?
It is you who doesn't understand.
Is there anywhere in this world as pure and as beautiful?
Since the very beginning, I loved him with all my might,
without any personal interests in mind.
And what did he do? He offended me.
You say I want to force him, use his bad situation and that I won't stop at anything.
I don't give a damn.
All this is not important to me at all.
What matters is that he will belong to me. Voluntarily.
You disappoint me.
I never thought my little sister
would turn into someone I don't recognize.
I am as I always was.
It is just you don't carefully look at me enough.
I know
that everything I say will be said in vain.
I just want to give you a warning.
I would like you to look into the mirror
and face your conscience
instead of making a decision that you'll regret in the future.
Brother...
why do you advise me to change my decision?
Is it
because you love Jing Wan
and you want to protect her at all cost?
You cannot lie to me.
You love her, am I right?
Jing Wan is innocent.
It is understandable that I don't want her to be hurt.
You really do love her.
The look in your eyes along with your expression say it all.
- Jin Zhi!- Why?
Why is she taking away all the men I hold dear?
Why?
Tell me why!
Brother...
despite your advice, regardless of the manner in which the heavens will judge me,
I want what should belong to me.
Outside Wuchi
Everything is ready.
You stay here and wait for the news.
Yes.
Stop. Your papers
Stop.
Miss, step up here.
Give me something to eat.
Quick. Quick.
Give us something to eat.
I am hungry.
Give us something to eat.
I beg you, please give us something to eat.
Lieutenant Shen.
Miss Jin Zhi.
You are here.
At the news of your arrival, Fourth Master asked me to wait for you here.
All right. I especially came to see him.
All right. This way.
Fourth Master, Miss Jin Zhi came.
Jin Zhi, I expected you a long time ago.
How did you know that I'd come to Wuchi?
As Wuchi is surrounded, no one can escape from here nor come here without being known.
You clearly didn't secretly come here.
I came to Wuchi during this dire situation.
I am afraid I have disappointed your father
who did a lot to help me.
If you want my father to help you, there is only one condition.
What is the condition?
Mu Rong Feng must marry Cheng Jin Zhi.
Jin Zhi. You should know
I already have a good wife.
Are you referring to Yin Jing Wan?
That was only for a fleeting moment.
After some time, you won't think it's for real.
You are wrong.
It's not just for a fleeting moment. On the contrary,
Jing Wan
makes me feel there is security in our future.
To me, this marriage is eternal and infinite.
When I'm with her,
I enjoy a happy life.
Do you realize that
around here you are a joke now?
You are like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
You are slowly thinking that you are becoming a lamb.
Really?
Isn't it so?
You were raised on wolf's milk.
The blood in your veins is full of ambition.
You cannot abandon your ideals
and live a secure life with Jing Wan.
You are a wolf. You will never become a lamb.
You are quite different from Yin Jing Wan.
I'm the only woman who is suitable for you.
I alone
am able to help you out and conquer the country.
Don't believe me? Let's give it a try.
Jin Zhi, do not back me into a corner.
I won't do that. I only want to help you.
Okay. Since you are doing this, I will tell you upfront.
I can accept any other conditions you have
other than marriage to you.
Don't let Madam know why Cheng Jin Zhi is here in Wuchi.
Yes.
Fourth Master. Since Miss Jin Zhi is already here with her soldiers,
why won't you lead the troops to lift the siege around the city?
- Fourth Master. - Don't say anymore.
Let's go.
Burn everything.
Yes.
Fourth Master.
This is Wuchi's
last provision.
Fourth Master.
Let's leave now.
Are you okay?
Move aside.
Let us out.
Retreat.
Everyone, retreat.
Retreat.
Sir, let us out.
Sir, please let us out.
We are ordered not to let anyone leave.
Sir.
If you don't let us leave,
we will soon starve to death. Don't you know that?
Please just let us leave.
Let...
Fourth Master?
I will let you leave.
Fourth Master. You are really going to let us leave?
Open the gate.
Governor. If we open the gate, the rebel soldiers may come in.
Open the gate now.
Fourth Master is really letting us leave.
Let's leave now.
We are not leaving anymore. We must protect this place.
We will live and die with Fourth Master.
We can't leave.
That's right.
Citizens of Wuchi.
I swear
I will absolutely end this difficulty.
I won't let anyone suffer. Please believe me.
I'm not leaving.
We must believe in Fourth Master.
We are not leaving anymore.
Let's support Fourth Master and not leave.
We are not leaving anymore.
Support Fourth Master.
We will support you.
We will support Fourth Master.
Wuchi.
Everyone just saw how the citizens love Fourth Master.
And that they support him.
I was moved to tears.
Although the population wants to fight with me
I can't let them suffer anymore.
For the citizens of Wuchi,
I am ready to sacrifice my life.
You do not need to sacrifice your life.
What you need to do is marry me.
They can then live in peace again.
Times have changed.
Marriage is a big moment in a person's life. You want to regard it as a pact?
You are saying that it's a pact?
That's right.
This is the most important transaction in the world.
You personally told the citizens to trust you.
Please ask yourself.
What other methods do you have to save the citizens of Wuchi?
Don't tell me you can bear to see the citizens starve to death for you?
Do you want to see your army annihilated?
How could I bear to do that?
This distressing situation can happen at any time.
When that time comes, will you have the ability
to face the population of Wuchi,
the officers and soldiers of the Chengzhou Army,
and your father who is in the other world?
Only our close cooperation will allow us to defeat Sun Jingyi,
save the people of Wuchi,
and keep the promises you made to the public.
Above all, this victory will help to stabilise the situation
and stop the war.
The citizens will be happy and live in peace.
Is that not a chance from the heavens?
Pei Lin.
I only want to help you.
Please give me a reason to help you.
Give me some time.
Let me think about it.
Stop fooling around.
I need to get up early tomorrow.
I don't have anything planned tomorrow. We will go hiking together up in the mountain. Okay?
You want to rush me?
You want something to happen, right?
Let me show you this then.
Why are you staring at me? Like you want to swallow me whole.
Go to sleep.
Be good.
I'm going to sleep first. I'm ignoring you.
This place is very quiet.
It's really beautiful.
You can only feel this way when you are with the one you love.
If I was here with anyone else, I would feel alone.
Just like the mountain.
Although majestic, she stands here
alone for thousands of years.
It's really very sad.
Isn't that a temple up there?
Let's go and take a look.
Okay.
Stay here.
Yes.
What's wrong? Are you tired?
I'm fine. These shoes are not comfortable.
Come, I will carry you.
What are you doing?
Didn't Zhu Bajie need to carry his wife on his back?
Since you are willing, I will be your wife then.
Just one unguarded phrase and I'm caught by you.
Are you willing to be Wang Baochuan ?
For the one I love, I will suffer.
Come.
Come, get on.
