Episode 57
Yan Cheng!
How is the preparation?
Immediately will be ready.
Very well. The army supplies should always go ahead of the troops. You have done very well.
Thank you, Councillor.
Your job is not only hard, but it will be dangerous as well.
Councillor, what do you mean?
What I mean is that this time, you must prioritise safety when escorting our supplies.
If you encounter enemies trying to rob us of our provisions,
abandon them. You only need to make sure that you yourself is safe.
Councillor, why do you say so? If all these provisions are lost,
Then, our army will starve. How are we supposed to fight the battle like this?
Don't worry. Our troops won't starve.
Just keep everyone safe.
Alright. Anyway, I'll just do whatever you say.
The less sense it makes, the higher are the chances of winning.
Is this what you call a surprise move?
You really have grown!
Zi Long, I was observing the night sky yesterday
and found that the stars are numerous and the sky is bright.
This is an auspicious sign.
Is that so? But according to my knowledge,
if the next day is bright, you'll always be able to see a dense layout of stars at night.
You are partly right. But star gazing is just one of my many talents.
Zi Long, look at today's sky.
How is it? Do you see anything?
- It's a clear sky. - You don't understand that, do you? I remember Mr. Pang say
Zi Long, you are like the clouds. Look at them,
How bright and magnificent!
Enough. I know what you mean.
You do understand a lot.
Good. That means
you led us on a very promising way.
We have not any obstacles so far in our journey.
Zhao Zi Long, look. Such spectacular clouds are proof
that you will definitely achieve great things in your life.
Great things that will shake the earth and the heavens.
That's enough. Stop praising me.
I can't take that.
I'm glad that you understand. Not only can I read the stars, I can also read people's palms.
Not only can I read people's palms, I'm also well-versed in military tactics.
Not only am I well-versed in military tactics, I...
Young Master! Young Master, we just received a piece of news.
- What is it?- Zhao Zi Long is leading an army to Xichuan.
Zhao Zi Long?
I wanted to meet him once since long ago. I want to see
just how skilled he is.
- Giddy up!- Stop!
On your guard!
Retreat!
They are that fast?
That's right, we haven't even started fighting yet
and they already ran away.
Looks like they know their number of people is small, so they don't dare to fight us.
Provisions are the foundations to keep an army going.
As for the person who's escorting these provision, he's really as cowardly as a mouse.
Looks like Zhao Zi Long is not as formidable as rumours say he is.
Brother, should we send people to kill Zhao Zi Long?
Is there some kind of hatred between you two?
- No. - Then, why do you want to kill him?
I- It seem like you really dislike that person.
This is just a matter of personal feelings. How can I implicate my soldiers in this?
I will go alone and meet that Zhao Zi Long.
- Let's see how good he is. - What? The army provision was robbed?
They seem to know where we're going and had set up the ambush a long time ago.
You know who the opponent is?
No.
Then, how many people are they?
I don't know.
Yan Cheng, escorting the provisions is such a crucial matter.
How can you not know the answer to everything I ask?
It's obvious that they wanted to rob us of our provisions.
Once I saw that, I ran away immediately.
Liu Yan Cheng, you are such a coward!
Even if you die, you will have to protect the provision!
Why are you getting angry at me? Those were Councillor's instructions!
He told me to run away if I see any robbers.
How is it possible for the councillor to discard all those supplies that could have kept out soldiers well fed and warm?
Yan Cheng. Since you already committed such a huge error, why are you still searching for an excuse?
You've really wronged me. The Councillor indeed gave me those orders.
He said that as soon as I see any robbers, I should run away.
Don't say any more.
You've marched with me all these times
and I've come to see you as a close confidant. I am put in charge of leading this army
but yet you committed such a huge error, I cannot let you go without any punishment!
Guards!
Give him fifty heavy strokes!
After that, bring him to Lord Liu and await his punishment!
- Yes! - Wait, wait.
Laws are made by people. Even though he did something wrong,
But, you don't have to go as far as punishing him according to the military law.
I think, it would be better to let him fetch some water or feed the horses, right?
I will punish whoever that dares to speak for him! Take him!
Zi Long!
Shouldn't you know if I, Liu Shen, am afraid of dying or not?
The Councillor's strategies are always surprising to us.
If you don't believe it, you can send people to ask him!
If you find out that I'm telling even a smidge of lies,
I will not say anything even if you execute me.
General Zhao. Someone sent a letter.
Where is that person?
That person left without leaving his name.
- Leave us.- Yes
Let's meet for a fight in the woods ahead of us. If you win, we'll let you take back your provisions.
This person was taking our provisions for the sake of challenging you for a one on one?
Zi Long, you can't go.
Even if you do, you have to bring your troops and surround them.
I am the best when it comes to group fights!
Stop! Keep her here!
Zi Long, this seems fishy.
If you go,
there might be an ambush. Think this through carefully.
That's right! You absolutely cannot take any risks and go there alone!
If you go, I will go with you!
- Then, I will go too! - No. No one is allowed to go.
This person is obviously doing this to challenge me.
I have no idea of his identity. We can't act rashly.
Rest assured. I will be mindful of any funny business.
Go!
[The Pavilion of Wind and Rain]
I don't remember ever meeting you. Who are you?
If you want to know my identity, then, defeat me first!
What are you doing?
How long as Zi Long been gone?
It's only been about an hour?
An hour?? With his level of martial arts skills,
it will usually take only five minutes to finish someone!
This won't do. I will search for him.
What are you holding a sword for? Zi Long specially told me to keep an eye on you.
What is it?
I suddenly have a stomach ache.
I will go to the bathroom.
Idiot.
Zi Long, are you alright?
Bao Yue, what are you doing?
Ma Meng Qi?
Ma Meng Qi, wake up!
Ma Meng Qi!
It's time to take your medicine.
Hurry and put on your clothes!
Put it on quickly!
Are you finished?
My wound hurts too much. I can't put on my clothes.
Put it on when I tell you to do so! Hurry up!
Are you finished?
Listen to my instructions, alright?
Turn right. Turn left.
What is it you want?
Walk two steps forward.
Walk forward.
Alright.
Are you crazy?! Hurry and put on your clothes!
You trying to kill me?
Who let you make fun of me!
Didn't all these because of you?
Because you are injured,
I will... I will spare you.
How would I know that you'll appear out of nowhere to help Zhao Zi Long?
What I don't understand is, on one hand you want to challenge Zhao Zi Long to a fight,
on the other hand you are going to return the provisions that you stole.
What exactly do you want to do?
Me?
I simply wanted to see just how sacred that Zhao Zi Long is
to have the ability to make my sister forget about eating and drinking.
And make the person I like willingly follow him.
The person you like? Who is it?
It couldn't be me, could it?!
Impossible, impossible. You can't be liking me.
You really didn't notice it at all?
There's an assassin!
Protect His Highness! Hurry!
Catch the assassin!
There's an assassin!
Come with me!
Catch them!
Follow them! Don't run!
- Do you feel it?- No. No way!
You've only met me a few times. How could you like me?
You killed Yuan Shao regardless of any consequences
to avenge your father.
At that time, I thought you were reckless and didn't have a brain.
But then I also thought
that exactly because you don't have a brain,
you make people like you.
You're crazy.
Afterwards, I thought about it again. You have a lot to say.
But, you usually don't get to the point.
You-!
Everytime you're about to leave me,
my heart becomes empty.
It's like all the air around me had condensed.
Bao Yue, do you know? Everytime I save you from any troubles,
I would feel like I've achieved more than after killing enemies on the battlefield.
Even though you have a lot to say and don't get to the point,
I just like listening to you.
Bao Yue, you are naive and brave,
I just want to protect you.
Tell me, did I fall in love with you?
No. You can't fall in love with me.
Why can't I like you?
Just because you have someone else in your heart?
But, does Zhao Zi Long like you?
Didn't you have to abandon your dignity just to follow him?
Bao Yue, I have a person I like
and you also have a person you like.
Why don't we give each other a chance?
Let's see
who is actually more patient.
General, we found a secret trail on the other side of the mountain.
It leads to the back gate of Ba Jun.
Say it again.
We found a secret trail on the other side of the mountain which leads to the back gates of Ba Jun.
If there's a path, why didn't you tell me earlier!
I came so close to dying!
I only knew of the existence of this trail today.
God is helping us!
General!
Hurry! Gather the soldiers and the horses!
I will launch an attack on the city immediately!
Yes.
I feel fortunate
to be able to fight the Young Lord of Xiliang.
Please rest well when you get back.
Today's injury... let's just say it was a keepsake Bao Yue left me.
By the way, I was once doubtful about your father's rebellion in Xuchang
I once thought that he had surrendered to Cao Cao.
I feel really embarrassed about it.
You've not only misunderstood my father.
The person you should feel most sorry for, is my sister Yu Rou.
Miss Ma. Is she well?
Whether my sister is well is none of your concern.
After today's fight, I will respect you as a worthy opponent in battle.
However, as for your mistreatment of my sister Yu Rou,
I will definitely find an opportunity
to make you pay for it.
Ma Meng Qi, how can you be so unreasonable?
Love is something you cannot force!
Look at you two! Leaving the big picture behind
and quarreling so vehemently about love.
What kind of heroes are you?
Bao Yue, I think you are right.
I hope you will remember the things you said today.
What do you mean?
I'm just reminding you
that you cannot force love.
Who are you talking about!
Zhao Zi Long, during our fight today,
you blocked someone's
arrow for me.
I owe you one.
But before we settle the issue between you and my sister,
I won't see you as a good friend.
To put it another way, if we ever meet in battle,
I, Ma Chao, won't show any mercy.
Very well. After this encounter, we still serve different lords.
I will not show any mercy to you too.
Bao Yue, do you know which sentence was said the most
by either of us ever since we've met?
We'll meet again someday.
Good. Then, let's say it again!
We'll meet again some day. Go!
Looks like Meng Qi
is also a person who values relationships a great deal.
Yeah.
I can see that he already has you in his heart.
Yeah.
Zi Long! Don't misunderstand!
What do you mean! He and I are just friends!
Zi Long!
Get on your knees!
Be still!
Yan Yan, you old buffoon. I didn't know that you're so weak!
You could have saved all these trouble if you had just opened your gates to me!
Did you have to wait till I beat you up?
You are a governor, you know that?
You have lost all your credibility in front of all your people.
Do the people know that you think so lowly of yourself?
You are so old that I won't even bother to torture you anymore.
Only one way lies in front of you, and that is to surrender!
My big brother is of royal blood and is a kind and generous ruler. He is sure to consider you reputation and old age
and allow you to live peacefully.
Cut it with the nonsense! Little rat!
Do you fathom yourself the good guy? You're a mere robber!
Today, I would die rather than surrender!
Fine. I'll grant you your wish.
Come on.
The road to Xichuan is a difficult one. We need Yan Yan with us.
You can only try to convince him to surrender. Executing him is not allowed.
General Yan, you are indeed a courageous man.
You have my respects.
I was really being an impertinent fool just now.
Please forgive me.
Here, here, here. Please.
General Yan, come, come.
Please, please, please.
Please. Please sit.
Actually, I, Zhang Fei, don't have any abilities.
I just have two good brothers.
General Yan, you are willing to sacrifice your life in defence of Ba Jun,
that is a heroic act.
General Yan, don't you want to continue your glorious career?
Don't you want to do your part to restore the glories of the Han Dynasty?
General Yan, you are a true guardian of Ba Jun.
The people of Ba Jun have led a good life under your leadership.
But think about it, there are still so many more people
who are suffering from the consequences of constant war and famine.
General, I plead you
to lend your help to Lord Liu.
I've often heard people say that you are a reckless man
with not a single bit of wisdom.
Judging from your behaviour today, General Zhang, you are someone who can interpret your circumstances and behave accordingly.
This is the quality of a great general.
As what you have said,
I am willing to do all that I can
to help the people in this world find peace.
Let's drink!
Here, here, here. Councillor!
Come, come, General Yan.
General Yan, you've worked hard.
You flatter me, Councillor.
I must have offended you when trying to take Ba Jun.
General Yan, you are so generous as to forgive me. Let me offer my apologies again.
General Zhang, please don't think about it.
General Yan, come forward.
Please.
General Yan, you are the governor of Ba Jun.
You must know the surrounding environment inside out.
I want to know what is the fastest way from here to Luo Cheng.
There are forty five checkpoints on the way to Luo Cheng.
All of the officials guarding those checkpoints get their orders from me.
I have them under control.
If the councillor and General Zhang can trust me,
I am willing to ride forward and convince them to surrender one by one.
I am confident that no one will have to die for the sake of taking Luo Cheng.
That's excellent! General Yan, if you can be our guide,
then the speed at which we march will increase for sure!
Great!
General Yan, you have really distinguished yourself!
I will make it my business to find a wife
and eight god sons to take turns to take care of you everyday!
What nonsense! Keep you tongue in check!
Pass down the command to rest here for a moment.
Everyone! Take a rest here!
Return it to me.
Fine.
You have already eaten a donkey meat pancake. If you throw up, then you're wasting food.
Wasting food is a great sin.
You-!
I know what you want to say. You'll say something like "since we're marching with the entire army,
we have to eat the same things and sleep in the same tents as the soldiers instead of giving ourselves special treatment."
However, warfare requires physical strength, strategising requires mental strength.
How can you go on if you don't eat something nutritious? As your girl...
I mean, since I'm following you and your troops,
It's natural for me to take care of you. No need to thank me.
Stop, stop, stop. Stop with all those moral teachings.
I swear this is the last time.
I didn't say anything. It was only you who was talking.
Really? So what? Does it make a difference if you or I say it?
I know, you have a lot you want to say to me.
But because you're so shy and terrible with words, plus the fact that we spend so little time alone,
That's why, everytime we meet it's me who's doing the talking, right?
Look at your expression right now.
You must have a lot of questions you want to ask me, right?
It's fortunate that I'm such an observant person. I can tell with a glance what you want or don't want.
If not, you would be spitting blood over the fact that nobody could understand you.
Okay. I'm ready. Ask.
I don't have any questions I want to ask you.
How can you not have any questions?
I know. You must want to know about my relationship with Ma Meng Qi.
You must also want to know when he and I met.
That goes back to the time when I assassinated Yuan Shao.
Wait. I didn't ask. And I don't want to know.
Fine. You're not interested in my relationship with Ma Meng Qi.
But I want to know
if you thought about a certain person after meeting Ma Meng Qi.
You know who I'm talking about.
After Ma Yu Rou left, you didn't miss her at all?
You're not thinking about her at all?
Throughout this journey, she did help me a lot.
I have never smiled at her. Even when we parted,
we did so because of a misunderstanding.
Talking about this, I do owe her a lot.
I can understand your feelings.
When I mistakenly hurt Ma Meng Qi,
I've also felt a vague sense of guilt.
Tell me, why is it so strange?
I've followed you for so long, but we've never talked about our inner thoughts and feelings.
But as soon as we mention the Ma sister and brother, we would reveal our hearts immediately.
Is there something wrong with me?
Zi Long!
What happened?
General Zhang sent a letter.
In it, he mentioned that his troops managed to pass Ba Jun without too much trouble.
I guess they will reach Luo City in the next two days and reunite with His Highness.
Very well. Let's get going then.
My Lord, your illness is not serious. You just have to rest well.
Please do not burden yourself with too much work.
Thank you. You can take your leave.
Yes.
My Lord, my condolences
for the loss of Master Pang. We still have our long term plan to think about.
Please get well soon.
Generals, thank you. I will.
Your Highness.
Greetings, My Lord.
Councillor, please rise.
Councillor, our army has advance upon Xichuan so quickly.
I'm really surprised!
Not only did Yi De and I arrive ahead of time, Zi Long's troops have also reached.
Good. That's great!
Here, here, here. Brother!
Yi De!
Brother! This is- I've invited the General Yan.
General Yan?
I, Yan Yan, pay my respects to you, Lord Liu.
My Lord, you was asking me why we managed to arrive so quickly.
It's all because of General Yan.
That's right! We wouldn't have reached so soon without General Yan's guidance,
He even convinced the forty five officials along all the checkpoints to surrender to us.
I offer my gratitudes, General Yan.
Lord Liu, I don't deserve it.
Princess Bao Yue? When did you arrive?
You really lack wariness! If I had been an enemy,
our army would have lost another Councillor!
Princess Bao Yue, what do you mean?
I still want to live a few more years.
Today is dim. There doesn't appear to be any signs.
Is it because I still have much to learn?
Councillor, do you recognize anything?
The way I see it, tomorrow will be a sunny day.
Is that all? With all your knowledge, shouldn't you at least be able to see something more than that?
How about predicting when can we capture Zhang Ren?
Let me tell you, I really hate Zhang Ren's guts!
There's hatred between Zhang Ren and Princess?
I'm not familiar to him.
Then, why...?
I'm not familiar to him. But I'm very familiar to Pang Tong, Pang Shi Yuan.
Pang Shi Yuan is the advisor to my relationships.
He's the reason why I could follow Zi Long in his campaigns and help him to achieve so many victories.
All these are because of Master Pang's guidance.
Since Zi Long has yet to fall for me,
how can Zhang Ren kill my advisor just like that?
This is unbearable! If I don't take this revenge, I will not be called Bao Yue!
Princess, you really want to take revenge?
Of course!
Councillor, I know, you don't really approve of me marching with you.
But since I came, I should do something. Don't look down on me!
Princess, I actually do have something for you to take care of.
Really? What is it? Tell me.
The scouts that I have sent into the city came back with news
that Zhang Ren has three addictions:
gambling, women, and...
I know! You want me to seduce him with my beauty?
You've found the right person!
Let me tell you. Someone who is
as lovely and gentle as me
will have Zhang Ren's balls in my grasp in no time.
Princess, the main person for this task is not you.
So there's no need for you to seduce him.
No need to seduce him? Then it must be using my wits then? Hurry! Tell me!
Zhang Ren is not only addicted to gambling and beautiful women, he's also an avid fan of collecting horses.
I heard that you were once in charge of the light cavalry in your father's army
and that your father is also someone who appreciated good steeds.
I think, you must know a lot about horses, right?
Of course.
Take a look at this world. I know even more horses than people.
You mean... I have to steal the enemy's horses?
No. I need you to deliver Moonlit Jade to Zhang Ren
as discreetly as possible.
Sending a horse? And even Moonlit Jade?
That's Zi Long's precious companion!
Isn't it too big a price to pay?
I'm doing so precisey because of the fact that Moonlit Jade is Zi Long's treasured steed
and that it can understand human intentions extremely well.
If you present this horse to Zhang Ren, do you think
that someone who's our enemy will be able to ride it?
Councillor, you are such a godly figure! How did you come up with the idea of using a horse as a spy?
Princess, please remember to keep yourself safe. Presenting Zhang Ren with the horse is your top priority.
Once you see Zhang Ren, please restrain your desire for revenge
- and ruin this plan. -Yes!
I accept your orders.
I still can't wrap my head around the fact that the horse is the main character here.
Using a horse as spy.
Councillor, your ideas are indeed not usual. I admire that!
That was Zi Long's idea.
Princess, be careful!
I will not let you down.
Why didn't Zi Long tell me himself?
This... can she finish the task?
Keep your eyes on Moonlit Jade. I'll go in a take a look.
Yes, Mi...
-... Young Master. - Be a little bit more intelligent.
Good. Wait here for me. Leave everything to me, the young master.
Big! Big! Big!
Pay up!
Give them to me!
It's my lucky streak!
Continue, continue!
Hey, is this the biggest gambling house in the city?
Of course!
I can't see anything special about it.
- General Zhang is even playing here. How can it not be special? - Oh, does he come here often?
He has not come in a long time due to frequent battles.
He would usually sit there, when he comes.
Big! Big! Big!
Open it! Open it!
Councillor, I will disguise myself and present Moonlit Jade to Zhangren now.
You don't need to go. I've already arranged Bao Yue to go.
Bao Yue?
I know. Bao Yue fails nine of ten tasks.
But this time, she knows that you are the one who came up with the idea. She will not screw it up.
Zi Long, sometime we have to utilise our 'special foces' to achieve surprise victories.
Zhang Ren is a very strong martial artist.
If Bao Yue gives herself away, she might be in dire situations.
If that's the case, then I can only hope that her spirit can find peace...
Zi Long, what I mean is that even though Bao Yue is not a strong fighter,
but she's a much better orator than you.
Little Brother, is that horse yours?
No, it's our Young Master's.
In my view, this horse is really extraordinary.
I guess it's origins are extraordinary too.
