Episode 54
Since sister-in-law is already married to big brother, we are one family now.
No need to say "thank you".
Your Highness, the young master came.
Father!
- Go. - Yes.
Ah Dou, come.
Father, you finally returned!
Ah Dou, greet your mother.
My mother already passed away.
This- this-
So you are Ah Dou. Your father often mentions you.
Saying you are very clever and brave.
Ah Dou, is that right?
Ah Dou, I will take care of you in the future, alright?
Even though you don't know me yet,
but I will treat you like my own child.
Ah Dou, don't you usually like to practice your martial arts skills?
I will tell you a secret. Your mother's archery skills extremely high.
Really? Can I learn from you?
Of course you can. However, you can't be lazy, alright?
- Your Highness. - Gong Jin. You don't need to get up. Quick.
Lie down quickly.
Gong Jin incompetence.
Actually let that Liu Bei escaped to return to Jingzhou.
Gong Jin no need to blame yourself. Liu Bei have Zhao Zi Long as military rank person to protect him.
Also have Kong Ming that come to help him. Actually you're not wrong, one person own strength against the enemy.
Zhu Ge Liang is a mere country pumpkin.
How can I lose to somebody like him?
How can I allow him
to take Jingzhou from us!
Liu Bei already escaped to Jingzhou now.
It'll be difficult luring him out of the city.
If we march our troops there, we won't even get pass the city gates.
Your Highness.
If I'm not wrong, Liu Bei had always wanted to take Xichuan as his base of operations.
Let's grant him this wish.
If we let Liu Bei have Xichuan,
then aren't we just warming a snake in our bosom?
Your Highness don't worry.
We're not really going to take it for him.
What we want is for him to let his guard down and open the city gates of Jingzhou for our troops to pass.
We can attack when we enter the city.
[Liu Residence]
The Lord of Dongwu has a high regard for Lord Liu's virtuous character. He is discussing with his subjects the possibility
of helping Lord Liu to take back Xichuan.
Even if my Lord is in a marriage with the Princess of Dongwu,
it is no small matter to retake Xichuan.
Perhaps the Lord of Dongwu has something else that he's trying to achieve?
He did mention
that once Xichuan is retaken, he'll use it to exchange for Jingzhou.
Xichuan will be given to Lord Liu as dowry.
My Lord, if we have Xichuan as our home base
then it is only right to return Jingzhou to Dongwu.
Councillor, you are indeed a reasonable man.
But I have one request to make. When the Wu army passes Jingzhou,
we hope that Lord Liu can support us with some supplies.
When the troops come, we will definitely welcome them with open arms.
Since Lord Liu and the Councillor have agreed to this,
I shall return and report to my Lord.
I will take my leave first.
Please.
Councillor, what do you make of this?
When Shang Xiang and I were trying to flee from Nanxu,
Sun Quan sent wave after wave of men after me.
Will he really be so kind as to retake Xichuan for us?
I have seen through Zhou Yu's plot at once.
He could hardly fool a child with this one.
Councillor, you understand what Zhou Yu is trying to do?
This is an attempt to destroy us by pretending to travel pass our territory.
They're just using Xichuan as a guise for taking Jingzhou.
If you leave the city to greet the Wu army, they will swarm in
by taking advantage of your trust.
Councillor, since you have already agreed to Zi Jing,
I assume that you have a counter-strategy?
My Lord, please rest assured. I have a plan ready.
All we need is for Zhou Yu to arrive.
Commander Zhou, what brought you here?
I'm passing by this area while on my way to conquer Xichuan for Lord Liu,
General Zhao, don't you know this already?
Conquering Xichuan is just a lie.
What I'm really asking is your true intentions for
bringing this massive army to this city.
What are your real aims?
Zhao Zi Long, what do you mean?
Commander, please take your please. The Councillor has already foresaw
that you'll be using this strategy.
He ordered me to wait for you here.
Zhao Zi Long, I advise you to surrender obediently.
If you don't, I will take this city by force
and flood this city with the blood of you and your cronies!
Unscrupulous scum! Don't you dream of taking Jingzhou!
I will never allow it!
Guan Yu is here! Zhou Yu, you scoundrel,
Jingzhou is not yours to take!
Zhu Ge Liang has set up an ambush!
Retreat!
Retreat! Quick, retreat!
Retreat!
Zhou Yu don't go!
Subbed and Timed by the Chinese Hero Zhao Zi Long Team @ Viki Please do not reuse or reupload our subtitles
Zhou Yu will
Commander-in-chief!
I see your tent lights inside shine, come in to see.
Zi Jing, you came at the right time.
Please pass on my will
to give to His Highness.
Your will? This is...
I know. I can't hold on any longer.
Why let me be born into the same world as Zhu Ge Liang?
Commander-in-chief! Commander-in-chief!
Commander-in-chief! You wake up! Commander-in-chief!
Commander-in-chief! Commander-in-chief!
Commander-in-chief!
I, Zhou Yu, is not an extraordinary talent. It's extremely fortunate for me to have my talents being appreciated.
Since I was appointed as an official serving high and crucial positions, leading armies to war,
I will expend all my efforts and dare not neglect my responsibilities even for a single second, all for the sake of repaying your generosity.
Who would have known when death would come. Everyone has their own destinies, even for those short-lived.
I carry eternal regret that I am going to die
before my ambitions are fulfilled.
Lu Su sacrificed himself for his country, he will overlook this matter carefully. He can be appointed to replace me.
Since I am about to die, I will speak kind words.
My Lord, just by knowing that you are reading this letter, I can now die peacefully.
Gong Jin has gone.
Buy candied fruits! Miss, this is very nice to eat.
Here, give it to you.
Zi Long! Try to taste it.
No. These are all things girls like to eat. If you want to eat, then eat a lot.
Who says this is something girls like to eat?
I know. You're rejecting my goodwill.
Really? It's because I'm too boring.
I didn't mean that! I was just joking with you.
You're not boring at all! In my heart, you're the most interesting!
But since you rejected my candied fruits,
shouldn't you be giving me a present to make up for that?
But I really don't know what you like.
Anyway, you understand me.
If you give me cosmetics as presents, I won't like them for sure.
If you want to give me something, then give me what my heart wants the most, the most important thing.
I know.
I've never expected Zhou Yu as Dongwu's commander-in-chief,
unexpectedly did not killed in the battleground.
But he is simply die from an excess of anger.
Zhou Gong Jin die from an excess of anger really isn't we wished for.
He has only his personality to blame. He's stubborn and competitive by nature.
Zhou Gong Jin throughout his life in expedition.
But he is deeply proud.
He was highly regarded by both Sun Ce and Sun Quan. All of the people in Jiangdong
will all think that his death has something to do with me.
How is this makes me feel good?
Stop! This is a government building. A commoner like you cannot be allowed to enter!
Let go! Move away!
You're even blocking me with your sword?
Let me tell you, before you get to know my name, why don't you ask who you are? Are you that important?
Do you have the right to know who I am?
Have you heard about Feng Chu and Wo Long? One must obtained it to get the whole world. This is the word.
Kong Ming nickname is Wo Long (Hidden Dragon). I'm Feng Chu (Young Phoenix).
I tell you about Feng Chu, you also didn't know that he is awesome.
I'm telling you this now. Listen well!
If there isn't me, your Your Highness wouldn't get the brave might spirit Zhao Zi Long.
Even General Zhao Zi Long has to show me some respect, let alone a small fry like you.
You were even pointing your sword at me?
Here, here, here, to save your neck in here.
Here, here, here. Cut it off, cut it off.
I'm giving you an opportunity! Here, here. Cut it off.
Here. You don't dare anymore?
If not for my oratorical skills
that convinced Cao Cao and made him fall into our trap, do you think that rascal, Zhou Yu,
will have all those ships to burn at the Red Cliff?
Would your Lord have Jingzhou as his home base?
Your Highness, please don't worry.
I will observe the astronomical phenomenon at night to see the stars gather in the east.
I have decided to leave for Dongwu immediately to attend Zhou Yu's wake.
I will seek for more talented men to recruit along the way.
Councillor, I appreciate what you're trying to do.
But I'm worried that this trip will not turn out so good for you.
My Lord, please be assured.
I was not afraid of Zhou Yu even when he was alive.
Now, Zhou Yu already died, what am I afraid of?
Even though Zhou Yu already died,
But the Wu officers and men won't simply let go of their anger.
They won't let you off.
This is precisely why I need to pay Jiangdong a visit.
If I don't, this atmosphere of anger
will harm innocent people sooner or later.
Your Highness, rest assured. In order to have a peaceful relations with Wuzhong and Jingzhou,
I will naturally be cautious.
Councillor, since you have decided, I will not second guess you.
But Councillor, you absolutely have to be careful.
Who are you? Why are you standing here without prior notification?
Lord Liu, don't fret. It's me who prevented them from delivering the message.
I know you are busy. I can wait for some more time.
How can you be so arrogant?
Who exactly are you?
The Young Phoenix (Pang Tong's alias) is indeed brilliant. You wish to show the Lord what you're capable of, am I right?
You're saying. He is...
My Lord, if Pang Tong is not capable of even this,
how could he have deceived Cao Cao?
So actually is the famous Pang Shi Yuan, Mr.Pang Tong.
Liu Bei eyes are really clumsy.
Not at all! Not at all! Pang Tong pay respect to Liu Huang Shu and Mr. Kong Ming.
Shi Yuan. You and I also regarded as friends in spirit who have never met for a long time.
Today, finally able to meet.
Are you Zhu Ge Kong Ming, the person whom I devised the strategy of the Red Cliff with?
Even in my dreams, I wanted to meet you once.
Lord Liu, I've come without invitation. Am I welcome here?
Master Pang, you fame is spread far and wide. How dare I not receive you properly?
Since you have come here today,
why not stay in my service
and be a vice-councillor to be?
Shi Yuan, it must have been a difficult journey for you.
You've spent lots of efforts doing so.
I have long heard that Lord Liu is kind and generous,
now that I've confirmed it with my eyes, I'm happy to comply.
I remember Master Shui Jing once told me
that if one can gain the support of either the Crouching Dragon (Kong Ming) or the Young Phoenix (Pang Tong), then one can conquer the whole world.
What have I done to deserve the council from both of you?
Looks like it won't be long before the Han Dynasty can be restored!
Lord Liu, what do you plan on doing next?
To tell you the truth, I plan on forming an alliance with Ma Teng from Xiliang
on my way to take Xichuan.
Indeed, we have to take Xichuan sooner or later.
But things are now different with Ma Teng.
[Narrator:17th year of the Jian An calendar, AD212]
[Narrator: Pretending that Emperor Xian ]Why did you return alone?
What exactly happened?
Our uncle and brothers have been murdered by Cao Cao.
were killed by that bastard Cao Cao!
Young Lord!
[Narrator: At the battle of Tong Guan, Cao Cao's army suffered a huge defeat at the hands of Ma Chao]
[Narrator: Cao Cao was forced to escape to escape in a panic]
When my father passed away, he reminded me many times[Narrator: At the battle of Wei River, Ma Chao defeated Cao Cao again and came close to killing him.]
That I have to lead our forces[Narrator: After many rounds of battle, Cao Cao tried to win the war by plotting to drive a wedge between Ma Chao and his confidants.]
and stay to defend Xiliang[Narrator: Ma Chao fell into the trap and started doubting Han Sui]
He brought you[Narrator: Han Sui was not confident about winning this war from the beginning]
and our brothers to war[Narrator: He began to sway even more on this issue after Cao Cao managed to plant doubts in his mind]
He was so confident that since Cao Cao knows that I'm at Xiliang [Narrator: Ma Chao was unable to see through Cao Cao's plot and executed Han Sui.]
and have the council of Han Sui [Narrator: Cao Cao's army attacked while the Xiliang army was weak and divided.]
He thought that nobody dared to harm him[Narrator: Ma Chao lost his grounds and (unintelligible)]
But now
How did everything turn out this way?
Where are you going?
I am on my way to Uncle's tent.
Since you came, let's go together.
Brother! I have something to report.
What is it?
It's an important matter. Big Brother, let's talk at the side.
I'm afraid that Han Sui has betrayed us to work for Cao Cao.
Are you talking about Uncle?
How is that possible? You know very well the Han Sui is Father's sworn brother
He has also helped us a great deal with our campaign.
Why would he betray us?
How could he think of bringing harm to me?
Da Mai, you are just being paranoid.
Brother, have you forgotten what happened when Father mistakenly placed his trust in Huang Kui?
The reason why your father failed at Xuchang
is precisely because Huang Kui was betrayed by his subordinates.
Now that our victory is on the line, shouldn't we be as careful as we can?
Do you think I'm the kind of person who would
accuse someone without any evidence?
What did you hear?
According to our spies,
Cao Cao once had a secret meeting with Han Sui
when our armies met in battle.
Big Brother, did you know about this?
It is true?
Is Han Sui is innocent, why would he keep it from you?
I heard that after their meeting, they each went back to their camps without their troops fighting.
With the main battle impending, we can't afford to be careless about it.
Report!
Your Highness. There is military intelligence.
You go out.
Yes.
Please, take a look at it Councillor.
I really never thought of it.
Ma Chao, wanting to seek revenge for his father, is fighting Cao Cao's army at Chang'an
Ma Chao is an extremely fierce warrior. Cao Cao was thouroughly defeated. But what's more important is that
he even came close to taking Cao Cao's life while he was trying to escape.
Cao Cao is now completely disoriented.
Maybe even more so than during his encounter with Yun Chang at Huarong trail.
Rumours say that Ma Chao's martial arts skills are as high as Lu Bu's
Now, it seems like the rumours are real.
On that day, Cao Cao led an army of three hundred thousand,
all of them came surging towards us at once. As I was thinking about battle tactics
and worrying about how to tackle them,
little did I imagine that Ma Chao would come in from behind.
Cao Cao must be so occupied with trying to deal with Ma Chao now
that he has no time to think about us anymore.
Councillor, why are you frowning at hearing such good news?
Even though Ma Chao managed to win a few battles,
the situation is not entirely impossible to turn around.
Go on, Councillor.
Cao Cao is an excellent tactician. He knows that Han Sui is the crack in the rock that they should aim to pry
I'm afraid that Han Sui will become the target for Cao Cao to cause division in Ma Chao's army.
Han Dui and Ma Teng are sworn borhters.
Ma Chao's campaign is possible only because of Han Sui.
It would be very difficult to estrange
the uncle and nephew, given that they have a strong relationship between them.
That's incorrect. Ma Chao is young and inexperience.
With the right amount of doubt planted in his mind, it is very likely that he would ruin his own campaign.
Cao Cao is scheming and calculative.
Ma Chao is not match for him.
Uncle.
- Nephew, you are here!- Greetings, uncle.
I was just about to search for you.
You really inherited your father's courage.
At the battle of Tong Guan, Cao Cao escaped like stray dog
That is really a huge boost to our morale.
Uncle, if not for your support,
we won't be able to achieve all these today.
What do you plan to do next?
Uncle, please take a look.
According to our scounts,
Cao Cao has chained up his fleet
on the Wei River to form three floating bridges that connects the north and south bank.
Cao Cao constructed his base camp across the river and used the carts carrying supplies as a barrier
I'm thinking to order the soldiers to carry a bundle of dry hay and kindlings
and charge right up to their front gate with your troops.
They will then stack up the hay and start a raging fire. What do you say?
This is a good plan. But I'm afraid that Cao Cao might be anticipating this.
He might be trying to lure our troops forward.
If that's the case, then we would be in big trouble.
We have had consecutive victories against Cao Cao's army
and our morale is high.
Cao Cao's army has grown to be scared of us.
If we can take this opportunity to pursue them without giving them a moment to take a breath, we can easily win this war.
You are suddenly hesitating,
May I know what worries might you have?
Nephew, I have no worries.
It's just that since our troops seem to be on a winning streak,
we need to be more careful than ever.
Furthermore, Cao Cao is no ordinary man.
We have to think this through carefully.
Uncle, why are you panicking?
Is it urgent news from the frontlines?
No, this is my private letter. Newphew, please return it to me.
Big Brother, don't believe him.
It might be proof of his secret communications with Cao Cao!
Ma Dai, don't you dare to accuse me of such nonsense!
I was informed by our spies
that you are secretly communicating with Cao Cao.
But I didn't believe it.
I even defended you.
How could I have known
that you have already made a deal with Cao Cao.
You handed over our fellow brothers.
In exchange, Cao Cao will make you the governor of Xiliang.
No.
Uncle, you disappoint me.
No. This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy!
My nephew, you need to believe me!
All in witness testimony!
Brother, don't be fooled by him again!
Attendant!
Uncle, I'm sorry.
I have no choice but to do this.
But Brother. Han Sui is now dead, we can't stay here for long.
If his troops learn about this, they will mutiny against us.
If Cao Cao strikes at this point, we would be screwed.
Given the situation now, we can only try to join Zhang Lu at Hanzhong.
We can only find refuge there/
Prime Minister. Ma Chao have killed Han Sui.
What?
Ma Chao killed Han Sui.
That's right. Our spies have learned that morale is very low in the Xiliang army
To avoid unrest from breaking out, Ma Chao's forces have retreated.
If we pursue them now,
we can detroy them with ease.
Are you certain that Ma Chao is not faking it?
No. Our spies on the inside have confirmed this.
Ma Chao and Han Sui were as close as father and son.
How did they fall out?
Even our spies couldn't find out why.
Prime Minister, a person named Gao Ze is here to see you.
Who? Who do you say?!
Gao Ze.
Gao Ze?
Looks like he had pumped so much drug into his veins
that he has gone mad.
This..
I'll teach this insolent scum a lesson.
Attendant! Bring him to come in!
Yes!
What? You're telling me that you are the one who drove the wedge between Ma Chao and Han Sui?
How can you prove that it's you who did it?
What do you think of doing?
Through my observations,
I concluded that the Xiliang army is not as inpenetrable as it seems.
I disguise myself as your secret messenger and made contact with Han Sui
I took the chance to leave a suspicious letter in his tent.
Then, I leaked the information about Han Sui's meeting with an enemy messenger
and planted the seed of doubt in Ma Chao's mind.
Soon enough, Ma Chao discovered the letter
in Han Sui's tent.
He was sure that Han Sui intended on destroying the letter as an evidence.
Ma Chao then proceeded to execute Han Sui.
Who would have imagined that a powerful warlord such as Han Sui
could be destroyed so easily with just a well-planted letter.
Brilliant, brilliant.
However, even if you're telling the truth,
do you think that Han Sui's head
is enough to compensate for the two divine objects of protection that you stole from me?
Do you really think that I would forgive you for the crimes that you have committed?
I will not stop at Han Sui. As long as they are on your hit list,
I will present all of their heads to you.
That's a bold statement to make.
Not only does it seem like you won't be able to keep your life,
but I'm afraid, you also won't be able to keep your tongue.
I have come here to serve you again, Prime Minister.
Firstly, I have no fear of death.
Secondly, I am still loyal to you.
Thirdly, I will retrieve both divine objects of protection within two month
as a sign of repentance.
You'll know within two months if I'm bragging or telling the truth.
Prime Minister, even if you hate my guts,
I guess it'll be alright to let me live for another two months.
Gao Ze.
When the eitheen lords waged war against Dong Zhuo,
you presented the chokepoint of Sishui to me.
I knew since then that you have a peculiar way of doing thing.
I'd like to see
what else you're hiding up your sleeves this time.
Thank you, Prime Minsiter, for sparing my life for another two months.
Two months is too long.
Let's do it this way. Before you take back the two divine of objects of protection for me,
I need you to kill someone for me.
Who do you want me to kill?
At the battle of the Red Cliff, it was Pang Tong who hoaxed me into chaining up my ships
That was the single most important reason why I was defeated at the Red Cliff.
My hatred for Pang Tong is so deep
that I wish I to eat him alive.
With Ma Chao's retreat,
Cao Cao is recovering fast.
I have invited you two here to discuss our future plans.
My Lord, Sun Quan is to the east of Jingzhou and he's been eyeing this place for a long time.
To the north, Cao Cao has also attempted to take Jingzhou, but failed.
In my few, Yizhou is the only place suitable to base ourselves in.
It occupies a wide area with a robust economy and a large population.
My Lord, when I came into your serve,
you once told me that you have the intention to take Xichuan.
We should take this opportunity to march toward Xichuan
and restore the glories of the Han Dynasty.
That's what I'm thinking too.
But Liu Zhang and I share the same surname.
If I attack him,
it would be seen as dishonorable.
My Lord, only a fool is indecisive.
You are a wise man, please don't hesitate any longer.
Nowadays, Cao Cao is my sworn enemy.
Cao Cao's rule is based on violence and fear.
As for me, I have to rule with virtue and kindness
Cao Cao is shceming and calculative, that means we have to be loyal and honorable.
Only by doing so will I gain the support of the people/
If I do something dishonorable because of personal greed,
then I might not be able to go through with this.
My Lord, what you have said is indeed virtuous.
But extraordinary times
call for extraordinary measures.
Your hesitation will come back to bite you.
My Lord, if you can take Xichuan now,
we will offer Liu Zhang a high position and treat him well.
We can still behave virtuously this way.
However, if you are too concerned about morals and decide not to take Xichuan,
then it would be such a regretful matter if someone else takes it.
My Lord, the young phoenix is right.
Please give it some thought and not be so caught up with moral convictions.
Councillor Pang, I will remember
what you have told me.
If we decide to march west,
Kong Ming, how do you think we should do it?
We have to divide our forces to defend Jingzhou.
If that's so, then I will personally bring general Huang Zhong and Wei Yan with me to Xichuan.
Shi Yuan, you will go with me as councillor for this campaign.
Kong Ming, you will remain at Jingzhou
and defend it together with Yun Chang, Yi De and Zi Long. Are you agreeable?
Your Highness, rest assured.
Liu army
Greetings, my Lord. Why have you summoned me so urgently?
Liu Zhang has taken the first step and sent his envoy
in an attempt to get friendly with me.
He wants me to meet him at Full Moon Restaurant inside the city.
Great! Your Highness has to go. Not only do you have to go,
we have to take the opportunity to get rid of Liu Zhang.
By doing so, we can take Xichuan
without having to resort to violence.
No. That cannot be done. Liu Zhang is an esteemed member of the royal family.
Furthremore, since I have just arrived at Xichuan,
I have yet to establish my reputation among the people.
If I do as you say, the people will never forgive me.
How would the common people view me?
I cannot bear to kill him like this,
this is not right.
My Lord, the great men in history are not men who care about trifles.
Even though Liu Zhang seems to be friendly to us now,
his subordinates will never see you as a figure of authority.
As time goes by, they will start an opposing force against us.
Forget it.
My Lord, please don't hesitate. This is a golden opportunity
to catch him at his weakest. You have to take Xichuan fast!
I will treat what you have said today as mere talk.
In the future, don't mention assassinating Liu Zhang again.
Your Highness!
Your Highness, I'm doing all of this only for you.
Councillor Pang, if you wish to stick to your decision
and act hastily, I will become a laughingstock for the whole world.
I will be known as the man who cold bloodedly murdered his own relative just for the sake of my own gains.
My Lord, everyone already knows of your generosity and kindness.
But I have to remind you that it is dangerous to let emotions get in your way.
If we don't get rid of Liu Zhang today,
he will become a huge obstacle in out path to taking Xichuan.
Of course, I know that you are saying what you think is the best for me.
You have good intentions. But I will not commit this crime
and make a bad name for myself because of momentary gains.
Stop. We will gather at the city gate shortly
and watch out for Zhang Lu's movements.
Pay respect to Your Highness.
Zi Bu, what matters do you have here?
If you're free, have some drinks with me.
My Lord, why are you here drinking by yourself?
I'm thinking about how Jiangdong, which was made prosperous by my father,
might be lost in my hands.
How can I not be anxious?
My Lord, you are young and talented.
What makes you say this?
Zi Bu, even though I won the battle of the Red Cliff
But now, I've painfully lost Jingzhou.
Even my dear Sister Shang Xiang
was given to Liu Bei for nothing.
What's more, even Zhou Yu had passed away.
I'm not going to reconciled.
Let me guess. You wanted to retake Jingzhou while Liu Bei is at Xichuan,
but the Queen Mother has forbidden you from doing so.
It must be difficult for you to make a choice between being a filial son and a wise ruler.
These are indeed causes for lament.
Military Counselor, you're wrong.
I can only obey by mother,
there are no choices available.
Now, I have a mind with lacking in strength.
All I have is my ambition.
I am trapped here with no ability to act.
My Lord, perhaps I have a way
to end this standoff.
You?
Forget it, forget it. I know you have good intentions
to help me solve my problems.
But to me, the best course of action now
is to stay put.
My Lord, please allow to finish what I want to say before making a judgment.
My Lord, if you could send a close confidant
to bring five hundred troops and sneak into Jingzhou,
you can order him to send a letter to the Princess,
telling her that the Queen Mother is critically ill
and that she wants the Princess to return as fast as possible.
That's good! If mother gets to see my sister, she would be overjoyed.
But I have to ask, why did you choose mother as the bait?
My Lord, I have my reasons.
Liu Bei has only one son, Ah Dou.
If we can make the Princess return to Dongwu together with Ah Dou,
then Ah Dou will become your hostage.
Liu Bei is bound to
exchange Jingzhou for Ah Dou if you ask for it.
But what if he doesn't do as we wish
and send his troops here to try to save his son?
As long as we have Liu Bei's only heir with us,
what else do we need to be afraid of?
My only worry is that once the queen mother knows about this, she would be enraged.
What should we do then?
My Lord, please don't worr. In my view,
the reason why the Queen Mother is so adamant about preventing you from harming Liu Bei
is because she's worried about the Princess's safety
Now that the Princess might return safely,
daughter and mother will be reunited. They would be so happy to see each other
that the Queen Mother will not care too much about what you plan to do with Liu Bei anymore.
Brilliant, brilliant idea!
Hurry, pick someone I can trust and leave for Jingzhou immediately!
- My Lord, there's already a candidate.- Really?

♫ Passing the ashes of spring, only to sigh at summer's end.♫
♫ Unable to burn through the loneliness of fall, nor the swan song of winter.♫
♫ Light breeze flows, a cup of wine, dreams stray behind.♫
♫ Past memories like lotus flowers mirroring in the water.♫
♫ Soft rains, broken winds, much to worry about in a foggy, drunken state.♫
♫ To only sigh, but still holding on.♫
♫ Misty moon, guarding love, falling into an embrace.♫
♫ The fear of love, the thoughts of woe.♫
♫ Lalalalala...♫
♫ Once was there familiarity, tears fall, songs sang.♫
♫ The promise of espousal after incarnations never changed.♫
♫ Unwilling to disturb the past.♫
♫ Lalalalala...♫
♫ The heroes of the past oft were melancholic.♫
♫ After the rise and collapse, the success and failures, still remembering her visage.♫
♫ Remembering past dreams, a scene of painful separations.♫
♫ Lalalalala...♫
♫ Parting after a single song.♫
♫ Once was there familiarity, tears fall, songs sang.♫
♫ The promise of espousal after incarnations never changed.♫
♫ Unwilling to disturb the past♫
♫ The heroes of the past oft were melancholic.♫
♫ After the rise and collapse, the success and failures, still remembering her visage.♫
♫ Remembering past dreams, a scene of painful separation.♫
