God of War, Zhao Yun
Episode 33
She's over there.
Dad, dad! I killed someone.
Don't be afraid. Quickly, tell me
what exactly happened?
Dad, Geng Chun that obscene thief
he actually dared to
harass me in the streets.
That bastard!
I lost control and actually killed him.
He deserves to die. Only instigate my daughter to suffer now.
- Fei Yan, you weren't wronged while being in jail, were you? - No.
Since you were a child, I couldn't let you do any hard work.
Now I let you suffer so much.
It's me who didn't take care of you properly.
Even if it costs my life, I will get you out of here.
Dad, it's me who wasn't filial.
I got into so much trouble and also involved you in this.
Times have been disorderly, there'll be a place where reasons can be discussed.
I will go and reason things out with them right now.
Don't worry. It's okay, it's okay.
It was clearly Geng Chun who took advantage of my daughter first.
You know this Lord Gao.
That dirty swine cast his eyes on my daughter.
Him harassing Fei Yan in the streets is not the first time!
The dead one might have made a mistake first.
But I'm afraid a nation has its laws and a household has its domestic rules.
Your daughter at the time, committed murder with everyone watching.
And she even stabbed a royal official to death. This is an undeniable truth.
Lord Gao.
I am the local governor, my official duty is to look after the common people.
Even though I feel deep regret, I can only act according to the law.
-What you are saying is... -I've already arranged
the opening of a law court tomorrow to hear the case.
If the evidence is conclusive, I'm afraid...
death sentence cannot be pardoned.
Fei Yan did this to protect herself. She is the victim!
She shouldn't be sentenced, she's innocent!
Even though I feel sympathy for you, I am not able to do anything.
Lord Gao, you are this towns county magistrate.
You must find a law that can help my daughter escape her crime.
I request that... if you really need to pay a life for a life.
I will pay for that life.
Uncle Li! Get up!
It's not that I don't want to help.
It's just my title is small, my ability is limited. I really don't have a way.
That's right, there might be a person who can help.
Who?
At present, Changshan Governor has supremacy jurisdiction over things.
Geng Chun is infact his subordinate.
Perhaps, you can request the Governor to confer a favor outside the law.
Xiahou Jie.
Could it be you have some reservations? You're unwilling to ask the governor?
No, what I mean is, I'm just a commoner.
How can I talk to a governor officer?
I can help you with that.
I might as well say it straight.
I came to the Fortress this time was in fact the Governor who instructed me.
To seek the art of war book called Ri Yue Yi's Numerous Military Tactics.
Rumour has it that Uncle Li has this art of war book.
I've been racking my brains, no knowing how I can mention it to you.
This art of war book.
Could it be this art of war book is not with you?
If that's the case,
I'm afraid regarding the matter with your daughter, I'm...
No, in my memory, I do have this book in my collection.
But it's been so many years, I don't know where I've put it.
I will need some time to look into it.
Just give it to me when you find it.
Once I have the book I can report to my leader. Perhaps Governor will be happy.
Since Governor is happy, he'll naturally be generous and push down the murder case.
Okay, I'll use all my efforts, find the art of war book and present it to you personally.
I'll take my leave.
You really can't keep calm.
Did you actually think that I don't know you were hiding outside and eavesdropping?
If I kept calm for an even longer time, my wife would be gone.
So the reason you made me put on that act was because of that book on the art of war.
From the start you've never had the intention of setting me up with Miss Li.
I've been instructed by Lord Xiahou to do things. What objections do you have?
But, you promised me
that you would talk to Li Quan about the issue with me and Miss Li.
Once Li Quan gives me the art of war book, perhaps then I can be a matchmaker.
Then what if he is not going to to be able to hand over the book on the art of war?
Then I will send him, together with his treasured daughter, onto the execution ground.
Don't you dare!
Watch your attitude! Don't forget
Governor sent you here, instructing that you listen to my orders.
Which true man will suffer from having no wives.
You are General Geng, you're not limited to this prospect.
I should have expected this long ago.
This short period, peace under a wise ruler, Zi Long
on the battlefield, winning honour
was bound to catch Xia Hou Jie's attention.
This old foggy, already cannot control himself.
He even sent Gao Ze to come here.
Looks like he is determined to get that book on the art of war.
Shi Shu, tomorrow I'll have to lead everyone to Jizhou County.
Bringing the two military books with me will be inconvenient.
I've already have the first volume memorised.
I'll ask Shi Shu to look after it for me.
Ok, you take the second volume.
You can also study it carefully on the way.
Be sure to take care of it properly, so that it won't land in the hands of thieves.
Alright.
Xia Hou Jie's intentions are not good.
The book on the art of war must not land in his hands.
That Gao Ze is not a good person either.
Yesterday, he most probably wanted to find out if I had it.
Fei Yan landing in jail, he must have planned it.
If I can't hand over the art of war book, I'm afraid she'll probably die.
If a counterfeit was made, it'll only work if Gao Ze can believe it's the real one.
In those years, I miss narrowly to get the art of war book.
It's really a pity.
But blame it to that bewildering old stubborn Yuan. He pledge his life to reluctantly hand over the art of war book.
Spoiled me in a big way.
Now the art of war book reconstructed.
I don't know if Wen Ding is able to get it.
Master!
Master! Miss and General Zhao were returned from Youzhou.
Just a moment ago in the front yard waiting to hurriedly go again.
That's great.
Dad.
Qing Yi, you finally returned!
He is Zhao Yun, Zhao Zi Long. And these two brave that are accompanying, Liu Shen and Zhao Shi Mei.
- Zi Long pay respect to Governor!- Pay respect to Governor!
General Zhao, there's no need to be over-courteous. Both of you no need to be over-courteous.
It really is a well-known would be better to meet myself.
General Zhao is a jade tree in the wind, outstanding from the crowd.
It can be said as a world hero.
My Lord praise me too much! I'm ashamed, I don't deserve your praise.
Entirely worthy!
- Governor, we're going out to meet with brother Zhou first.-Alright.
General Zhao,
- let's talk inside. - Please.
General Zhao.
Younger generation dare not to accept the honor. My Lord just called me Zi Long will be good.
Alright. Like this seems more closer.
Zi Long, I heard that the incident of bandit violations,
is you making a public appeal to organize fellow countrymen to have strength to defend the homeland.
That's how the bandits were defeated in a one stroke.
Now Zhending county common people to live in peace and work happily in days of their life.
You claimed credit for yourself is great.
No. To pacify the thief upheaval
is relied on fellow countrymen joined forces.
Zhao Yun is not dare to claim credit for myself.
I only blame my subordinates are completely some useless people.
Big matter like this, unexpectedly no one reporting to me.
If I had known earlier that there was such an outstanding young hero like you,
I would have immediately gone to visit you and recruit you to work for me!
Father. Now you recruit Zi Long to come to your side also regarded not late.
It may be like this, but it looks like we have shortchanged Gong Sun Zan.
I have also heard that in You Zhou, Zi Long's military strength was great.
But he has also suffered a lot.
Gong Sun Zan's biggest weakness is that he is too opinionated and doesn't listen to others.
Actually, Lord Gong Sun has treated me adequately.
Things have come to this, you still speak up for him?
Zi Long just has a good personality.
He is always hard on himself and is generous to everyone. He has never complained about hardships.
It's true. Everything in You Zhou has already passed,
Zi Long, you are my Changshan proper man.
Your contribution for coming back to hometown also regarded as exactly what everyone would wish.
Now the dynasty is incline to disorder. The whole country is in numerous disorderly.
As you're this kind of gentleman who is loyal and love your own country is very rare.
Zi Long, since you are willing to work hard your whole life, I will definitely treat you well.
You rest assured. From now on if you have difficulty always have opportunity.
Thank you for your generosity. But Zi Long still have a matter to request.
There is no harm in saying what you're thinking.
My Lord, this time returned to Changshan also come together with several famous brave countrymen.
They are all in the battle to defend Zhending.
We're together from cradle to the grave (willing to risk life) good brothers.
Zi Long request earnestly to my Lord to admit together.
That's very good.
These people are all your trusted aide.
I will surely make a proper arrangement.
Thank you Governor.
Zi Long, are you alright?
Zi Long,
it looks like you are unwell.
What happened?
When we were on the way back we were ambushed by enemies.
They were the mountain thieves in disguise.
In the battle to protect Zhending, Zi Long cut of the arm of their leader Du Jue.
We never thought that the thieves would still have hatred in their hearts,
and secretly attacked. Hence Zi Long is heavily poisoned.
What?
Something like this actually happened!
I don't understand
how can Du Jue know that we're going to return to Changshan and then in advance waiting to ambush?
This situation is urgent! We should immediately treat General Zhao's injury.
Attendant!
Master.
Invite the best physician in the city to look after General Zhao.
Yes.
Wait.
Help prepare a room for General Zhao.
He shall be treated in the house.
- Yes. - Thank you, dad.
Sir, this... doesn't seem right.
Zi Long, don't try to reject my offer.
Just stay in my house and recover fully.
Right, Zi Long. Now you are also not in the condition to be walking around.
Recovering here is the best option.
Then to follow your orders is the sincerest form of respect.
Thank you My Lord.
It's settled then.
Physician, how is the situation?
Reporting to the princess,
although the General was poisoned, but it was treated in time and there are no serious consequences.
As long as he takes his medicine on time to cleanse the poison from his body, he will recover in a few days.
Then would the doctor please write the prescription quickly?
Remember, you must use the best herbs and medicines.
Naturally. Princess, don't worry.
If there's nothing more, I'll take my leave.
Brother, how is it?
I'm alright.
Qing Yi,
the moment I reached your residence, I'm already causing trouble for you.
Don't act like an outsider.Like what my father said,
there's nothing more important than treating your poisoning.
Yes, brother.
Although we've only been here for a short time, anyone can see how much Lord Xiahou appreciates your worth.
The sooner you recover, the sooner you can work as his right-hand man,
and help him him achieve great things as thanks for his favour.
Sister Shi is right.
Actually, I was quite worried before.
But from my father's attitude to you today,
he'll definitely be a a good judge of your talent.
My father is looking for worthy talent right now.
He'll definitely put you in a high position.
Zi Long also hopes I won't disappoint his hopes.
Shi Yan, in the time that Master Zhao will be in this residence, whether serving medicine or other living needs,
you'll be in charge of everything. Remember, don't neglect anything!
Don't worry, I'll take care of Master Zhao like our own grandaunt's husband.
You're being flippant again.
Master, I brought the person here.
I pay respect to the Governor!
You go out first.
Yes.
General Zhao's injury, you've seen it?
I have seen it.
The poison that General Zhao suffered
was luckily treated in time and didn't attack his heart.
So what you mean is that there are no lasting consequences.
Exactly. I have already written a prescription and given it to the steward of the house.
As long as General Zhao takes his medicine on time, he will fully heal in a few days.
Who asked you to make your own decisions without permission?
Lord, the prescription I wrote is all according to pharmacology.
What if I let you change the prescription?
Change?
Don't ask for the reason.
In short, I hope your medicine will have other effects.
Frankly, I don't want to kill him.
But I don't want him to recover that fast either.
This-
There are many doctors in the city who will listen obediently.
If you won't change it, someone else will be willing to change it.
You have received the examination fee?
The only thing is, who knows
if you will be alive to spend it.
I will definitely obey your orders.
You go on.
Yes.
This Zhao Zi Long, I will catch him myself in my hands.
It's just that I don't know
Gao Ze is in Zhending. How is he going to do with it?
Master Gao.
Uncle Li, you came. Please sit.
Bring some tea!
There's no need. There's no need.
I'd like to get my daughter out as soon as possible.
I'll decline the tea.
You can leave.
Uncle Li, did you bring the thing?
This book on the art of war is fake.
Fake? How is that possible?
Spread out and search in every corner. Find all the books.
Go!
Lord Gao, take a closer look at it.
How can it be fake?
You don't need to look at it. Though I've never seen it,
I do know that there are about 100 military stratagems.
They were recorded during the warring states period.
So that was a long time ago.
Though these books are made to look old, the words are clearly written by someone later.
Master Gao, when I obtained these books back then,
I didn't know they were a copy.
Since these military books were passed down for hundreds of years,
it's possible that the original was destroyed long ago.
Master Gao, actually,
even if this isn't that original but a copy, what's the problem?
The content of the books is where the value of the military books is.
What you said isn't illogical.
However, I don't know if the governor would accept that. If he won't acknowledge it,
then your daughter, I fear . . .
I see what you're up to, Gao Ze. You won't release her then.
I had thought Master Gao was someone who is true to his words.
I didn't imagine once I'd offer the military books as promised,
you still won't release her.
You've misunderstood me on that count.
I've got no grudge against Ms. Li. Why would I torment her?
But in my position, I must be held accountable to the governor.
It's true these are copies.
But as I know it,
the military book has a sequel.
Indeed? Then do you have the next part?
I do recall it.
However, I didn't find it.
However, my daughter has always managed my books.
Perhaps after she's back,
she could find it.
Uncle Li, you are negotiating with me?
We're both in the same boat. You want the book on the art of war
and I want my daughter's safety.
The first part is already in your possession.
I've already expressed my good faith.
It just depends on whether you'd like to continue this transaction.
This old goon is more tricky than I had thought.
The entire Zhending is in my grasp.
I'm not afraid he might play some trick on me.
I can understand your anxiety since you love your daughter.
So I'll just honor that fondness and release her.
I hope you can remember the book issue.
So I can answer to the governor properly.
As long as you put your words to true.
I shall do my best to oblige.
Pass on my words. Release Li Fei Yan!
Fei Yan!
Dad?
- Fei Yan! - Dad!
Let's go quickly. We are going to leave Changshan immediately.
Did something happen?
How was I released so soon?
Now is not the time to talk about this. I've already prepared everything.
Let's go back quickly, come.
General Geng, we found a sack.
He's got a sack prepared? I guess he was planning on fleeing.
Continue the search. Flip the bed.
Yes!
Geng Chun, you didn't die?
Of course I didn't die.
Li Quan, I advise you to obediently hand over the book on the art of war.
Otherwise, you will die today!
The hell with that!
Fei Yan, go quickly.
No one can leave today. Come.
Here.
Take them all down.
Dad, are you alright?
You mastered the 'gold iron indestructible' move?
Move.
Dad, how are you?
Go quickly!
Go!
Dad!
Go!
Don't let them escape!
Follow them! Follow!
Zheng Zhe?
Gao Feng Zheng Zhe?
This jade ring must be Gao Zhe's.
It must be. How did it come to Dong Jue's possession?
Come, come, come.
You're a scholar. Can you manage such labor work?
Yes. Don't say that. We are all the same.
We need to pool ourselves together,
so we can fix the fortress walls and ward off the attackers.
Yes, yes, yes.
Do you guys know where the money for this repair work is coming from?
Where is it coming from? I don't know.
It's not from the country government?
Our Zhending County is such a small county.
How much money would it have?
Let me tell you, the cost for mending the walls this time,
all came from Master Gao himself putting his money.
Is it? I also heard,
he sold his family's heirloom, that pair of rings.
He pawned the mother ring.
It's really true.
Also, that mother ring has two words on it.
Gao Feng. Everyone, to have such a mighty hero
sacrificing his own for us, for the county,
that is our Zhending County's blessing.
Yes, it's our fortune, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
My grudge from losing my arm, I must avenge. Furthermore someone paid money
to buy your head.
Can it be that the one who commissioned my killing
was Gao Zhe?
Father, be careful.
Everywhere within the mountains are hunting traps I've set up.
We should go that way.
Hurry and catch up to them.
Stop.
The few of you, search over there.
The rest, go straight.
Obeyed.
Dad, becareful.
Hurry. Hurry, hurry. Catch up.
That way.
Li Chuan! Don't try to fight.
Don't make your daughter suffer.
Come!
General Geng.
Li Chuan!
Go and tell Gao Zhe.
The masterpiece handed down by General Yue Yi's
can only be suited to those with virtue and humility.
A cowardice like Xia Hou Jie,
could never gain it in this life.
You go and capture him!
After them! General Geng.
Let's go.
Do we go after them?
It's already getting late. I don't think they can flee far.
Retreat.
Despicable.
Playing me?
Be careful, Father.
Father.
Father, where is this?
This is where I used to live when I went hunting.
Father, slower.
Have a seat, Father.
Father. Can they find this place? Is this safe?
Don't worry. Not even a bird or beast get in here.
An average person can't find this place.
Father, your injury's bad.
Fei Yan, you have some knowledge of medicine.
Help me pull out the arrow.
But in order to take out the arrow, I need to stop the bleeding and it's already dark out.
I have some herbal medicines left over there. Take a look.
Yes.
Come. Come!
Master Gao, see what a great item I brought you.
Hurry and come in.
Put it down here.
Open. Open.
What is this?
Didn't you want military books? I had people search the Li house upside down.
Who said to do that? Where's Li Chuan?
The old man got injured badly and went to hide in the forest.
It's too dark to find him.
I'll bring people to search through the mountain tomorrow.
Master Gao, don't worry. I'm sure the military book you're looking for is in here.
Idiot! You ruined everything.
I . . .
Father, these herbs will suffice.
So Geng Chun never died.
He and Gao Zhe colluded to frame me on purpose.
But why did they do that?
For this military strategem book.
Father. Are you alright>
So this military book, you hid it on you.
No wonder you evaded a fatal blow.
Back to the topic,
my old life was spared by Great General Yue Yi.
Father, you can joke at this hour?
But Father, I still don't understand.
If you didn't give him the military book,
then why did that Gao Zhe release me so easily?
Gao Zhe is a very smart person. It's no easy task to fool him.
So in the ink,
I added some special herbs,
and made a copy book to give to him.
Unless Gao Zhe has a photographic memory,
then he should have discovered by now,
those words have long disappeared.
But Gao Zhe, how did he suddenly get some inclination on the military books?
I think it's by Xia Hou Jie's order.
Xia Hou . ..
Daughter, hurry and pull it.
Wait, wait, wait...
Pulling.
Shi Yan.
Miss Zhao, you're also here.
Your brewing medicine for brother Zhao. It's almost ready.
Has Mister Zhao eaten breakfast? I came here to get some breakfast for my Miss.
He's already eaten.
Shi Yan, my master and I have been here for a few days now.
If we keep going on like this, I'm afraid brother Zhao will only recuperate for a short period.
Will it be inconvenient for us to live in the Manor for a long period?
No it won't. Could it be we are not accommodating enough?
No, no, no, that's not what I meant.
Isn't Princess Qing Yi and Lord Gao engaged to be married?
If my Miss is inclined to get married, the marriage would have been successful long ago.
She keeps dragging it, it's still because of Mister Zhao.
Could it be, he doesn't understand my Miss' hardship.
Understood, understood.
What's the use of you understanding? It's he who ought to understand.
Of course, if I understand, then my big brother will understand.
The important point is, does your old master understand it.
At first, I thought my old master didn't understand.
He kept forcing my Miss to get married.
But now the situation seems to have changed.
Seems like he's treating Mister Zhao with kindness.
Originally he didn't understand, but suddenly everything is understood.
I've said it like that, do you understand?
I understand. I totally understand. You're busy.
You're busy too.
Zi Long, today, I'm able to finish embroidering this robe.
I had thought I wouldn't get a chance to hand this to you.
But now you're back in Changshan, and I can see how you'd look in this with my own eyes.
After your body is recovered,
you can wear it and go out in battle field.
Big Brother, the medicine's done brewing.
Shi Mei, you're having to work hard these last days.
It's nothing. Compared to our days as foot soldiers, being at Xia Hou Manor,
is so much more at ease.
Big Brother, medicine temperature is important. Drink up. Once cooled, the effectiveness will be lessened.
No hurry. I'll drink it in a moment.
Don't forget it.
Big Brother, but to be serious,
I think the Xia Hou Manor
everyone's pretty good to us. So much more tact than that Gongsun Manor.
They know you'd surely be a big hero.
The future is not something anyone can predict for sure.
If I say so, then it's real.
Furthermore, I have another matter I can be sure of.
That's how Miss Qing Yi feels about you.
She's very devoted.
I hear, for your sake, she's put off her marriage again and again.
I think she will surely not marry that Gao Zhe.
Shi Mei, what nonsense are you starting again?
My news is as sure as it can be.
Plus you two's real love,
all of us can tell.
Tell me, if this continues,
are you really going to become Xia Hou's son-in-law?
Governor. Governor.
No need for politeness.
I just came to see how Zi Long's injury was.
I've troubled your worry. My wound is healing well.
Great then. Zi Long, the weather's rather nice today.
Do you care to take a stroll with me?
Yes.
Come this way.
Zi Long, after the Pan River battle,
I think you've accumulated quite a bit of battle field experience.
So I will test you now.
If you meet a great warrior-like general like Wen Chuo in battle,
what else besides having high martial skills yourself, would be an advantage to victory?
Zhao Yun is unwitting. Please advise.
It's not that you're unwitting. You are humble.
Lu Bu could become a world-famous general,
it was due to him having his Red Hare Horse under his torso and the Sky Scorcher in is hand.
And you have a treasure horse too, named Moonlit Jade.
And in your hand, also a divine weapon, the Peace Under a Wise Ruler Spear.
So you know everything about me so clearly.
That spear is a divine weapon that is not seen in a hundred years.
I have heard of it since I was in my youth.
I just don't know how it came to your possession.
Is he trying to detect something?
If I tell him the real origin of that spear to me,
it will bring trouble to my martial elder.
You're not at liberty to say it?
No, in answer to you, My Lord, before, I was a disciple
of my teacher Li Chuan of Changshan who gifted this to me.
How did he acquire the spear?
That is something I'm not sure of.
I see. Also, besides this spear, did you martial elder also
- give you anything else?- Nothing else.
Zi Long, what kind of military strategy books do you normally read?
I practice from the same books that most military men use.
In this world, the one that can be on par with Sun Tsu's Art of War,
is only one rare book.
It's the famous, Yue Yi's One Hundred Strategems.
