Episode 31
Su Yin!
Commander in Chief!
What's wrong with you?
I won't let anything happen to you. Don't leave me.
I don't want to die. I haven't lived long enough.
I haven't lived long enough. I want to be Mu Rong's wife.
I want to be a wealthy woman.
I will give you everything.
Please don't leave me.
You like me,
right?
I know you like me.
Give me the money. Lots of money.
I will give it to you.
My money.
I will give it to you. Please don't leave me.
Su Yin.
Su Yin, say something.
Talk to me.
Say something!
Su Yin.
Commander in Chief.
Commander in Chief, calm yourself!
Jing Wan.
I really don't have a fate with you.
I couldn't even keep an image of you.
I can't even keep my fantasy.
I took one wrong step
and was not able to correct it ever since.
Jing Wan. Tell me
why?
Why? Tell me!
Tell me! - Commander in Chief!
Go away!
Cheng Jin Zhi.
Cheng Jin Zhi!
Commander in Chief!
Hello, this is Lieutenant Shen. Fetch Commander Cheng, quickly!
Cheng Jin Zhi!
Why did you kill her?!
Pei Lin.
She was nothing more than a whore.
You are yelling at me over such a person?
If you don't want to face reality, I will do it.
Cheng Jin Zhi.
You really have a viper's heart.
I have the heart of a viper?
Aren't you the one who forced me to do it?
You let this woman climb over my head,
insult and mock me.
All her slutty friends were making fun of my marriage!
And so, you killed her?
Why wouldn't I?
This house belongs to me.
But this slut was becoming more arrogant!
Did you want me to throw fits because of jealousy?
I'm telling you. She was no match for me!
She made you unhappy and you killed her?
Why don't you kill me instead?
Pei Lin.
Everything I did was for you.
For me?
You have destroyed my life
and my happiness.
You have now taken away my last fantasy. You still dare to tell me it was all for me?
What fantasy?
Isn't it because of Yin Jing Wan?
Yes.
The only person I love is Yin Jing Wan!
Mu Rong Feng.
Let me tell you.
Neither this slut nor Yin Jing Wan
were able to destroy me or my family.
I made them disappear from the world I live in!
So it was you
behind all this.
What happened today
is repetition of past events.
- Right? - Yes.
I was the one who sent Yin Jing Wan away.
It was also me who killed this slut.
Just kill me.
If not, I will never give you up.
Commander in Chief!
Jin Zhi.
Mu Rong Feng. You have gone overboard.
Commander Cheng!
Dad.
Commander Cheng.
Jin Zhi.
Get her out of my sight!
Mu Rong Feng, you are being too vicious.
Jin Zhi.

Mr, Xu. I present you General Sakai of the Japanese Army.
General, delighted to make your acquaintance.
He is happy to meet you.
The most beautiful cherry blossoms
are seen towards the end of the spring.
Mr. Xu, we knew well
that you would return to accept our offer.
Miss
Miss, you have slept for 24 hours.
You gave us all a scare.
Give it to me. I'll give it to Madam later.
Commander in Chief ordered me to give this directly to Madam's hands.
Uncle Zhong, let Lieutenant Shen in.
All right.
Madam. Commander in Chief ordered me to give this document to you directly.
Madam, I will take my leave now.
Miss
Commander in Chief decided to divorce you? - Get out.
This... Miss...
Get out!
Holy Virgin
tell me
why despite all my efforts
I am unable to find happiness.
Why has the person I madly loved deserted me?
Why am I unable to hold him back?
What sin have I committed?
Mr. Maeda.
Congratulations, Mr. Xu.
You are now presiding over political affairs in Wuchi.
Thank you for your strong support.
Today I will give you a verbal order.
I am listening.
General Sakai wants you to immediately go to Chengzhou and meet with your old friend.
Would it be Mu Rong Feng?
You need to know
the next target of the Japanese Army is Mu Rong Feng of Chengzhou.
Mu Rong Feng now is a beast at bay, no longer able to flee, even on wings.
Even if he is,
the Japanese Army does not want to fight him.
The General hopes you will explain his situation to him.
The best he can do is to cooperate with the Japanese Army.
The General must also know that Mu Rong Feng will not easily give in.
It seems like you do not want him to align with the Japanese Army...
Between me and Mu Rong Feng exists a deadly hatred.
This...
Only enemies understand each other the best.
That is why General Sakai asks you to go there.
What? You don't want to go there?
I am at your disposal.
I am the Commander in Chief's bodyguard! - Jiang Ping.
They are on alert. I think it may be a trap.
This is my territory. They will not dare to plot anything.
Mu Rong Feng.
It is time you pay your debt.
This time you will not escape from my grasp.

Fourth Master Mu Rong.
You never thought I would be the special ambassador of the Japanese, right?
Commander in Chief Mu Rong. Do you remember
where we met for the first time?
Of course I remember. At the time, you had been thrown into prison.
I went there personally to interrogate you.
At the time,
the situation was similar to today.
You measured me up with your eyes
like an evil I could not recognise.
President Xu, things in this world change within moments.
I never thought the Japanese
would take someone like you for their ambassador.
Commander in Chief, there is no need to engage ourselves in verbal jousting.
The rivalry between men is normally based on power, am I not right?
You have to understand your situation, Commander in Chief.
You are now cornered.
There is only one way you can save yourself now.
What are you implying?
I have come to offer you a treaty.
This order is personally signed by the Japanese Emperor.
If you put your signature on it, you will remain in a commanding position
sharing your wealth and influence with the Japanese Army.
What will be Commander in Chief's reply?
I really admire you
for having the courage to assume this position despite the risk of being discredited.
You aspire to be a hound, but me - I am a wolf.
A wolf will never bow down to a dog.
All right. Let's see how long you will maintain your wolfish dignity,
especially when you are locked in prison.
I also am curious
how long such a traitorous dog as you
will still be of use for the Japanese.
All right.
Mu Rong Feng, I hereby take the offer back.
Now, you have only one option.
To die together with your soldiers and people!
Thank you for your advice.
I'm leaving.
What did Xu Jian Zhang want?
He brought me a collaboration proposition,
threatening me with death if I do not sign it.
We have been expecting this.
Officers are waiting for you in the meeting room
to discuss the situation and take action.
Cancel the meeting. We will meet another day.
Yes.
As soon as I come here,
all my worries seem to evaporate.
The key is to take care of the herbs and plants here.
But when leaving here, we must face reality.
Today, all the Officers arrived. They waited for me for a long time.
But rather than go see them, I came here.
Why did you not go see them?
I do not know what attitude to show them.
You're always acting on precision.
Why are you so undecided this time?
The country is divided. The wind carries willow's catkins.
Third sister, as Xu Jian Zhang said, we are being forced into a tight corner.
We cannot move forward nor go back.
What result would declaring a war bring?
We are surrounded by the enemy. The situation is not favourable.
The central government is still undecided.
If we declare war on the Japanese, we will be surpassed by their number
and will have no chance winning.
Our troops will face a terrible defeat
and could even perish.
Fourth brother, then are you going to give in?
If I surrender
how could I live with my conscience?
I'd be forever regarded as a traitor.
I'd be unworthy of the people, who love and respect me.
Fourth brother, you should not deal with this situation alone.
It is just not fair.
Since the death of our father,
I never hesitated on making a decision.
Each time, I was able to decide on things without hesitation.
But this time around, I find myself in a dilemma.
Whatever I choose will be a bad choice.
Fourth Brother, what are your aspiration in life?
As soon as you understand them,
you will know what decision to make.
The answer to this question has eluded me for a long time now.
After losing Jing Wan,
I have ceased to be happy.
Everything I found important in the past, has no value now.
It is too late for me anyway.
No, you're wrong.
As long as you have courage, it will never be too late.
Really?
Fourth Brother,
when you finally face all this,
nothing will be able to destroy you.
Thank you, Third Sis
You are my only relative in this world.
Thank you.
Despite my past mistakes
you still accept and stay with m.
Jing Wan, are you going to spend the rest of your life here?
If you remain here, your father will not be able to sleep peacefully.
Your mother will die of concern.
Xu Jian Zhang is supporting the Japanese invaders, causing problem after problem.
The country is endangered. People wander aimlessly.
But you are turning a deaf ear on my pleas.
All right.
Even if you don't know why.
Even if you don't have the courage to fight.
Don't you hate Xi Jian Zhang? Don't you want to avenge your father?
I said what I had to say.
I am going.
Xin Zhi.
I have heard what you told me.
You are right.
It is true that Xu Jian Zhang killed my father. Of course I hate him.
But if I were to draw the courage to live from hating him,
how would I differ from him?
Xin Zhi, as the country is on the verge of ruin,
it is time for us to save it.
I am sure that my father raised me in this way
so I can rise again
and reduce the world's misery with the power of love.
Jing Wan, you have withstood harsh tests. You changed yourself
and started to live again.
I have lost my family.
I do not want other people to share the same fate.
Xin Zhi, tell me.
What should I do for my country and my people?
I'm not afraid of fatigue or deprivation.
Only you will be able to achieve something that will ensure
the well being of people.- Me?
Follow me.
Read the newspaper!
Move out of the way! - Read the newspaper!
Read the newspaper!
Quickly. Quickly!
Read the newspaper!
The Japanese ambition will not be satisfied with just the Wuchi occupation.
Right now they are preparing for war with China.
Their next target must be Mu Rong Feng.
Let's go.
Japanese soldiers have surrounded the garrison of Mu Rong Feng. His situation is critical.
I am afraid that Pei Lin will not resist in order to protect himself.
Xin Zhi, you want to say he will refuse to fight the Japanese?
Over turned nests hide cracked eggs. With the country in danger, everyone is entangled in the wheels of history.
Who can be sure if he will remain the unrelenting hero until the end?
Right now Pei Lin is
Right now Pei Lin is at his fate's crossroads.
At this critical time no one will be able to persuade him.
Only you will be able to convince him to not become the traitor.
I will devote my life to resist the Japanese.
Jing Wan, you're a girl. How can you...
Mom. Both men and women are obliged to serve their country.
I only have you now. If you...
I will not be able to survive it.
I know.
Don't worry. Nothing will happen to me.
Jing Wan,
Even if my heart cannot stand the thought of letting you go,
I will support you.
Mom.

Down with Japanese Imperialism! Long live National Salvation!
We wish to see the Commander in Chief. Commander in Chief, are you Chinese?
Commander in Chief. The Japanese Army took over Wangzhou.
Yingzhou was also taken.
Commander in Chief, are you all right?
Commander in Chief, we want to go to the front.
Yes, Commander in Chief. It is our duty to save the country from danger.
The Japanese are approaching closer and closer. We cannot wait.
Let us go to the front and resist the Japanese invasion. Please give us permission.
Commander in Chief.
Have you finished? - Commander in Chief, we...
If you are done, go away.
This...
Abolish Japanese Imperialism!
No to Japanese aggression!
Save the Homeland from danger!
Long live the resistance to the Japanese invasion!
Abolish Japanese Imperialism!
Long live the resistance to the Japanese invasion.
Everyone is obliged to save the Homeland in danger.
Only the union of all Chinese can save the country.
In the past I thought I had nothing to do with politics.
But now, when the country and the people are in danger
I understand
my scalpel cannot save people from the flames of war.
Xin Zhi, I want to thank you
for liberating me from thinking only about myself.
Jing Wan. You and Pei Lin are the two people I care most about.
In terms of feelings, I can not remain indifferent towards either of you.
I just wish that you could get rid of the past and face the future.
Jing Wan, at the back of this tailor shop is the shop of our secret newspaper.
Let's go.
Master Tan.
- Xin Zhi.- Master Tan.
Jing Wan. I present you MasterTan.
He has given us free premises for editing our newspaper.
Master Tan, you are a good man.
You are very nice, Madam. You have a good heart.
Master Tan. Miss Yin is my friend. She comes from Wuchi.
Hello, Miss Yin.
Jing Wan, let's go up. I will introduce you to the editorial team.
Come.
This way.
Xin Zhi.
Hello.
Hello. Tianming!- Xin Zhi.
Jing Wan, I present you Sheng Tianming, the main editor.
The Brilliant students of Beijing University and the newspaper Chief.
Here is little Zhao, the most competent journalist.- Hello.
This is the Lu Wen, a scholar editor.
This is Miss Mi Lan who has just returned from France.
Hi all. I'm Yin Jing Wan. Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Xin Zhi often talked about you.
Don't stand here, let's sit.
Come, let's sit.
Tianming, explain to her what your newspaper is about.
All right.
Our newspaper was created by a group of young progressive patriots.
It was designed so we could use our pens as weapons
and to fight agains the dark sides of the society.
Indeed. Now, the Homeland is in danger. It is overrun by the enemy.
Our mission concentrates now on saving the country.
We are therefore using our newspaper
to excite and awaken the Chinese nation
so they can resist the Japanese invasion.
Jing Wan, on what account did you come to Chengzhou?
I want to devote all my energy to the country and its people.
That's great. We are lacking staff here.
If you want, you may stay here and work with us.
Yes, stay and work with us.
I...
Can I? - Of course you can.
Xin Zhi told us you speak Russian, German and French.
You will be a great asset to our newspaper.
Yes. We have many articles in foreign languages that need to be translated.
Jing Wan, do join us.
If I can be of use to you,
I will join you of course.- Very well!
Jing Wan, welcome onboard.
It's strange.
Why is it so quiet today?
Abolish Japanese Imperialism!
Commander in Chief, involve yourself in the resistance!
Abolish Japanese Imperialism!
Commander in Chief, involve yourself in the resistance!
Commander in Chief, it looks as they are coming toward us!
Commander in Chief, involve yourself in the resistance!
Abolish Japanese Imperialism!
Commander in Chief, involve yourself in the resistance!
Quick, turn right here. Go into the alley.
Commander in Chief, the crowd is greatly agitated. You'd better get down here.
At the corner of the street, Master Tan's house.
I will pick you up when the crowd disperses.
Master Tan.
Miss Yin.
You changed a lot in the recent years.
But you remained unchanged.
I am old.
I saw a lot of viciousness being done by people.
Miss Yin and Fourth Master...
What a pity.
Master Tan!
Master Tan, are you in?
Fourth Master, why did you come so suddenly?
Master Tan, long time no see.
I was just passing by. I did not intent to come today.
What a coincidence. I am sure it was the will of heavens.
Since I am here, please make me new clothes.
All right. Please choose the fabric you like.
Chinese people should wear traditional Chinese clothes.
Master Tan, can you make me a long-sleeved tunic?
Fourth Master, you have not changed at all. My eyes do not deceive me.
You don't realize it
but I am not the old Mu Rong Feng anymore.
I lost the will to fight.
Despite being old I am still able to do something.
You should not be discouraged by trivial things.
If your mother knew about it, she would throw a fit.
Thank you for your encouragement. You are right.
I need to think.
Think about everything very carefully.
Fourth Master, let me take your measurements.
Come.
Your shoulders got wider in recent years.
Despite my broad shoulders, I am unable to take a heavy burden upon me.
Fourth Master, the tunic will be ready soon. Please come back in a few days.
All right. Then, Master Tan, I will be going.
See you soon, Fourth Master.- I am leaving.
