[Lost Love In Times]
[Episode 9]
Here, drink up!
Drink well! Eat well!
Fill it up!
Pour me more wine!
Drink first.
Another cup of wine! Another!
Yuan Ling...
Who knew that you'd end up like this?
Pour me more wine.
Fill up the cup.
Pour me more.
Your Highness, what should we do with this woman?
Now that Prince Ling is dead, she's of no use to us.
- Drag her out and behead her. - Yes!
Hold on!
Although Prince Ling is dead, the Black Armor Army still exists.
I've been with Prince Ling for years.
Your Highness, don't you wish to know how he manages and deploys his army?
Does it matter if I learn of it?
He's just a corpse now.
Could he still fight against me?
Has Your Highness forgotten that Prince Ling isn't the only one
who could command Black Armor Army?
If you were to wipe out the entire Black Armor Army
to tie up all the loose ends
you mustn't let Prince Che off either.
Prince Ling is already dead.
Black Armor Army is now but a heap of sand.
Do you think that with my armed forces, I won't be able to defeat them?
Does Your Highness still remember how a year ago
Great Liang's army of 100,00 men besieged
the 10,000 men of Black Armor Army
and yet they broke the siege easily?
At that time, Prince Ling wasn't in the army.
They looked to Prince Che for guidance
as well as Black Armor Army's unique tactical deployment.
Tactical deployment?
Should Your Highness spare my life
I'm willing to tell you all that
I could remember about the tactical deployment.
You really are a cowardly woman.
If Prince Ling knew that you had betrayed him
he wouldn't rest in peace.
Guards!
Your Highness.
- Take her into the room! - Yes!
Move it!
Pour me more wine.
Fill the cup up.
Here, pour me more.
The ruse of death, the rise of chance
Yuan Ling has always been skilled in devising unique strategies.
If I could assist him in exterminating Xiao Ji, it would be one great feat.
How is it going with writing down the tactical deployment?
I've drawn the deployment chart according to my memory.
Your Highness, please take a look.
What is this?
What exactly is it with Yuan Ling's tactical deployment?
Your Highness, you might not be aware that
Black Armor Army splits into two teams to reinforce each other.
One is made known to the enemies to lure them over.
The other goes undercover to kill the enemies.
Good!
I'll use the same strategy on them then!
Do you think that you can fool me with such tricks?
I'm just trying to sound you out to see what you're up to.
Now... How would you prefer to die?
The deployment chart that you held in your hands is stained with deadly poison.
If you kill me, you won't survive.
Don't bother making such a desperate effort.
You've been imprisoned here, so how could you attain poison?
The poison flows within my veins.
Your Highness's life is now in my hands.
You want to take my life?
In your dreams--
You!
Even so, I don't believe that no one in Great Liang can cure it!
Go and keep your Yuan Ling company now!
This...
This is to pay you back for what you did.
Yuan Ling?
I told you two years ago.
If you dare set foot on Great Wei's territory again
I'll take your life personally.
I am a man of my word.
How is this possible?
You were shot and your corpse now lies out there!
How can this be real?
The one you killed...
He was just my stand-in.
I forgot to tell Your Highness.
I'm one of The Mages.
I wrote a letter with the powder of my golden butterfly.
Once the letter is held over fire, a map will be revealed.
Your Highness didn't realize that
I'd asked to write a letter for that reason.
Yuan Ling, wherever you are
you've never let me down.
Miss Qing Chen!
What is it?
We are bonded in life and death.
You're worried that it's poisoned?
Prince Ling actually came personally to save me from Liang State's army.
It seems that the bond does have its benefits.
[Survival]
I've wronged you.
I'm sorry.
Your Highness need not take it to heart.
You didn't benefit much for accusing me either.
Since that is so, we'll call it even.
Sure.
What do you plan to do next?
We're now bonded in life and death.
Whether you like it or not
Your Highness will have to take me with you.
What if I'm not by your side?
How about this?
When you're in danger, bite your finger.
Then I'll know.
Silly.
Whenever I miss you...
How should I let you know?
Bond in life and death...
Yet I can't let you know of my affection for you.
There's no way out!
You'd better surrender now!
Take them away and interrogate them thoroughly.
Get to the bottom of this case.
Li Lin! Keep him alive!
Ji!
[Xiao Xu, Prince of Great Liang]
Ji!
Damn you, Yuan Ling!
You killed my older brother...
The vanguard troop is totally wiped out!
You still dare return to see me?
Your Highness.
Yuan Ling had his men burn down our camp.
None of our men... had their remains intact.
- Chai Xiang! - Present!
Convey my orders.
Command the men we've planted in Wei State to get ready.
- Await my command! - Yes!
Yuan Ling...
I won't rest till I've killed Yuan Ling!
If we use White River Pass as the dividing line
to extend the border of Great Wei a few hundred miles south...
His Majesty will surely be overjoyed.
Your Highness could then move up the ranks with this meritorious feat.
No one else would be your match by then.
We mustn't underestimate the others.
As for Yuan Ling...
Is there no confirmed news of his death yet?
The information sent about his death couldn't have been wrong.
If we wish to wipe out the evidence of our past actions...
Send out the remaining troops of the Black Armor Army
to attack the main camp of Great Liang.
Silence them all.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Xi, why is there the banner of Liang State
in my Black Armor Army's camp in Pingxing County?
We were informed the other day that Xiao Ji had killed you.
I was puzzled at how easily you were killed by Liang State's army.
It's now obvious that it was but a rumor.
Xi, I heard that you had wanted to come to my rescue at the risk of your life.
Our kinship does run deep.
But in the end, not one of the stationed Black Armor Army's soldiers survived.
Fortunately, you're fine.
I once promised you that not one soldier of Black Armor Army
would die at the hands of Liang State's army.
But now...
I've failed to keep my promise to you.
Please punish me as you wish, Ling!
What is it?
Your leg still hurts?
It's an old injury.
It's all right.
If I remember correctly, that was five years ago?
Five years ago, you took an arrow to the leg for me.
That was how you were injured.
Ling, you actually still remember it?
That shot to the leg from five years ago only wounded my knee.
It's not severe.
If it hadn't been for you...
I wouldn't still be sitting here today.
Your safety is the greatest blessing to our entire armed forces.
However, this time...
You were ambushed in our wooden hut.
You were even wounded with poison.
How did you manage to escape safely?
Only a few of our men knew of the ambush at the hut.
Xi had accidentally blurted it out.
Moreover, how did he learn that I was poisoned?
Qing Chen had diagnosed that you
weren't infected with poison externally.
You had consumed it in your food.
The troops of Black Armor Army that were deployed were a cover-up.
They didn't die at the hands of our enemies.
They were killed by our own people.
Yuan Xi is a prince of Great Wei.
How could he collude with our enemy to harm his own siblings?
Yin family might be involved in this.
It isn't as simple as we think it is.
Ling, how would you handle this matter?
As the commander-in-chief
I owe my comrades of Black Armor Army an answer.
As for Yuan Xi...
He did betray Great Wei.
He was born into the imperial family.
Who could avoid the power struggle within the family?
All I wanted to know is...
What actions will they take next?
Prince Ling isn't dead!
Prince Xi's actions might have already been detected.
Should they look into this matter
Yin family's involvement will surely be exposed.
This concerns the military information of our enemy
I'm afraid that not even the Noble Consort could handle it.
It's best for us to make arrangements in advance.
This is one serious matter so we have to clean up the loose ends.
Any future trouble must be avoided.
It seems that we'd have to give Prince Xi up.
You'll be in charge of it.
Jade Blood Chamber will assist you in secret.
I understand.
Yin family is still in contact with Jade Blood Chamber?
This is bad. I'll have to try and protect Prince Xi.
Otherwise, they will surely frame Yuan Ling for it.
Where is Prince Xi?
Prince Xi isn't in the camp.
He just went out with Prince Ling.
Black Armor Army will be launching a night raid on our enemies today.
Do you think that we could capture Xiao Xu alive?
You've found out where Xiao Xu's main camp is so quickly.
Ling, you really can foretell so accurately.
Since we were young, I've always been impressed by this trait of yours.
Military information can be analyzed and predicted.
Yet the human mind is hard to read.
Ling...
You mean to imply something else?
If you were Xiao Xu...
What strategy do you think he would devise?
Ling, it seems that you really have begun to suspect me.
Black Armor Army isn't going to launch a night raid at all.
You just want to see if the news would be leaked.
Since you already knew of my intention...
Why didn't you just pretend to go along with it?
Since you chose to give up...
I'd believe in you.
Judging by your personality, once you have doubts about someone
you wouldn't just let it go.
You might let me off...
But you'd surely look into the mastermind behind all these plans.
Therefore...
I'm left with no other choice.
As a prince of Great Wei...
Who could possibly manipulate you?
You want to sacrifice my life as your means to move up the ranks.
Come and take it if you can.
However, you should never collude with enemies
nor plot against Great Wei's Black Armor Army!
How could I not be ruthless if I wish to fulfill my ambitions?
Ling, since you wish to fulfill my wish...
I'll take you up on your offer!
You've shown no remorse at all?
Remorse?
All these years...
We've fought together in battles all across the nation.
We pulled through life and death.
However, Father only favored you and
promoted you higher in the military ranks!
All throughout Great Wei, our people praised you as God of War!
What about me?
I also endure injuries.
My blood is also shed on the battlefield.
But who has ever cared about me?
In their eyes, I am not an iota of what you are!
Therefore...
Tonight...
Only one of us can leave this place!
It's too late.
Why would a petal wither?
Could it be that Prince Xi is dead?
I'm really glad to see Your Majesty in such good health.
I've already heard about it.
Fortunately, Prince Zhan has assisted us in this matter.
Otherwise, we'd have fallen for
Liang State's trick to turn us against each other.
Before I set out on this journey, my father had reminded me
that Liang State is cunning and untrustworthy.
Only A-Chai Tribe is Great Wei's ally.
If A-Chai Tribe is willing
Great Wei would love to form an alliance with A-Chai for all eternity.
I've long heard that Princess Duo Xia is a heroine and a great warrior.
All men in the world would love to marry Your Highness.
I've come to visit with a marriage proposal.
I wonder if Your Highness is willing to marry Great Wei's Crown Prince
and become our Crown Princess Consort?
You expect me to marry my beloved daughter over
with just a written marriage proposal?
Do you think too little of A-Chai Tribe?
Should we add on 100,000 of our finest soldiers to the proposal
what does Your Majesty think of it?
These 100,000 elite soldiers represent Great Wei's sincerity.
It's also our promise to A-Chai Tribe.
100,000 elite soldiers do indeed make a huge gift.
However, women of A-Chai Tribe always decide their own marriages.
As a royal family member of A-Chai Tribe, shouldn't Your Highness consider
the welfare and future of your entire nation?
Whether I meet the man I wish to marry or not in the end
it's also my responsibility to safeguard A-Chai Tribe.
I'd rather pull through thick and thin with a-Chai Tribe
than degrade myself to become a hostage in some other nation.
Xia, don't be too quick to make such allegations.
Isn't it too soon for Your Highness to turn down the offer now?
Your Highness could witness the prestige of Great Wei first
before you make a decision?
Under such circumstances
it will do A-Chai much good if I marry into Great Wei.
But I wonder what the Crown Prince of Great Wei is like?
You can tell the rise and decline of a nation by its military discipline.
We're not too far away from Pingxing County.
Liang State's army has invaded our border recently
and my fourth brother is now stationed at the frontier.
Pingxing County?
Your Highness, why don't you take a look at
how our prince of Great Wei leads his army to war?
You will then understand that a marital bond with Great Wei
will be the best choice A-Chai Tribe could even make.
Tomorrow morning, I'll leave A-Chai Tribe to head back to Great Wei.
Should Your Highness still remain doubtful
you could send someone to Great Wei.
Great Wei will surely demonstrate our sincerity to Your Highness.
I'll be sure to think over what Prince Zhan has said.
There are all sorts of rumors spreading in the army.
They said that you killed Prince Xi.
Is this the danger that you mentioned?
When I realized it, it was already too late.
I only found out that it's related to Jade Blood Chamber.
Without any evidence, you'd be the one to take the blame.
By the time you return to Heavenly Capital
your life will surely be at risk.
By then, I'd be implicated into it again.
Anyone who dares to collude with enemies to kill a prince
must have very strong supporters.
This is one dangerous obstacle with an unknown outcome.
Allow me to examine Prince Xi's corpse.
If it's really related to Jade Blood Chamber
I can return to Heavenly Capital first to investigate into it.
Murder by a poisonous needle, concealed in the woods...
A sacrificed pawn. His death is used as a tool to attain the world.
They would even stoop to killing Prince Xi...
Yin family...
Who was the real culprit?
Spirits lie in all creations.
Every tree and every blade of grass witnessed Prince Xi's murder.
It really was you.
Hand it over.
Take me to your master.
This is beyond your reach.
Who are you?
You don't have to know who I am.
All you need to know is that what I have in my hands
will be able to destroy Jade Blood Chamber.
Acting all mysterious?
You... You're one of The Mages?
We'll--
Ling, what's wrong?
Qing Chen...
Is Miss Qing Chen in trouble?
She hasn't sent a message to seek assistance.
I think that she must be quite confident of handling it alone?
Now that her life is bonded to yours
if she's in danger, you'd be affected as well.
I'll send someone to watch over her secretly.
It's fine.
She must have now entered the capital alone.
Ling, whatever it might be, we should send some of our men
back to Heavenly Capital right away.
If we don't take actions beforehand
I'm worried that all hell will break loose by the time we return.
Order our men to gather information discreetly.
Be sure not to take any actions recklessly.
As for the rest, I'll take care of it when I return to the capital.
You mean...
Wait and observe in order to lure the snake out of hiding?
Yuan Xi might be in the wrong
but he paid a dear price for it.
His life was taken.
However, his death...
As his older brother, I must avenge him.
It's her?
You're a sorceress?
You've been too careless?
How could you leave this on a dead assassin?
Are you not afraid that Prince Xi's real cause of death would be discovered?
Anyone who is too clever might not get to live long.
In Great Wei, once the identity of a sorceress is exposed
she will be sentenced to capital punishment by law.
If I'm going to wipe out every trace and evidence
what do you think I would do?
We are both descendants of The Mages.
We should watch out for each other.
Whoever is behind you is indeed ruthless and vicious.
Xiao Ji is already dead.
Even though Yuan Xi is a prince
his life was still forfeited once he was rendered a useless pawn.
A clever person would always take precautions.
The best would be for us to cooperate and ensure our own safety respectively.
Who are you to cooperate with Jade Blood Chamber?
What do you seek in return?
All I seek is a safe place to settle down.
Who do you think you are?
What do you take Jade Blood Chamber for?
Guards! Take her away!
- Yes! - Yes!
Madam, she seems to know quite a lot about us.
Are we really going to keep her alive?
There's more to that sorceress than meets the eye.
Send her to Heavenly Capital with the other young women.
Leave her to Master.
Yes!
How are you feeling?
Here, lie down flat.
This is the poisoning of dark sorcery.
You're also one of The Mages?
Ming Yan?
You know who I am?
I'm Elder Xi Xie's disciple.
Who have I never met you in the Meandering Skies?
I was taken under his wing outside the Meandering Skies.
You surely wouldn't have seen me.
However, my mentor had told me about you.
He said that you're Elder Tao Yao's first disciple.
My mentor told me that he was returning to the Meandering Skies
but I never heard from him again.
I went in search of him only to learn that disaster had befallen on The Mages.
Have you seen my mentor?
Is he safe and sound?
I'm not sure about that either.
The pressing matter at hand is how we can get them out of this place.
Otherwise, they would all be sold into
Celestial Dance House in Heavenly Capital.
I know that they will set out soon in a day or two.
Celestial Dance House?
Exactly.
It's a renowned brothel in Heavenly Capital.
If that is so, we might as well try to save them
after we get to Celestial Dance House?
If not, they won't be able to get away from the Jade Blood Chamber's pursuit
in the middle of such wilderness even if we help them now.
Let me unleash your powers first.
You have the powers to break the seal?
Your Highness.
You've come at the perfect time.
I've asked you to look into the princes of Wei State.
How did that go?
According to the spies we've planted in Wei State
the two princes of Wei State, the fourth prince, Prince Ling
and the seventh prince, Prince Zhan have the best reputation among their people.
Even the Crown Prince is no match for them.
We've already met Yuan Zhan.
He's in charge of managing the nine cities around the capital.
His maternal uncle is even a head supervisor in the imperial court
who is very influential.
Yuan Ling is in charge of guarding the border.
He's known as God of War.
In the battle of Pingxing County, he was outnumbered
but still killed Liang State Army's commander, Xiao Ji.
Liang State is thus defeated.
God of War?
Interesting.
In the past, I've already heard of his name and reputation.
It's said that he had a way with training Black Armor Army.
For years, he has yet to lose even one battle.
Even a prince as outstanding as Prince Zhan
has also mentioned him before he left.
It seems that Wei State's imperial family does think very highly of him.
Your Highness is right.
Among the people, there's even a saying,
"Where there is Prince Ling, there is peace."
Is that so?
Mukesha, gather up our troops.
I'm going to meet this world renown Prince Ling.
We shall see if Wei State truly is our best choice.
We've set foot in difficult terrain.
Be wary of ambush.
Are you Prince Ling?
I'm the prince of A-Chai Tribe.
I've long heard of Prince Ling's reputation.
It's said that Sword of Return's stances are invincible and powerful.
I'd like to learn a few tricks or two from Prince Ling.
I have important matters to handle today.
Excuse me.
You're afraid of losing to me?
What a joke!
My fourth brother has yet to lose any battle!
How could he be defeated by you?
The prince next to Prince Ling must be Prince Che?
Indeed!
Prince Ling, will you accept the challenge or will you surrender?
I don't know what surrender means!
Princess!
Stop it!
Your Highness, are you all right?
I'm fine.
Ling, she's actually a woman?
You're the princess of A-Chai Tribe.
I've long heard of your reputation.
Prince Ling, you're indeed outstanding.
I've been defeated by you today.
I've lost fair and square.
Forgive me for having offended you.
Our army has push along on our journey.
I'll take my leave now.
We shall meet again!
Prince Ling, please head out.
Prince Ling is charismatic and highly skilled in martial arts.
He's the one worthy of becoming A-Chai Tribe's prince consort.
Your Highness.
Let's head back!
Senior Ming Yan has sent a message.
She's now being sent to the capital with some innocent young girls.
We must take actions immediately to rescue Senior Ming Yan.
Yes!
[Celestial Dance House]
Slow down.
Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ji, leave me be.
- Yuan Ming! - I want more drinks!
Sir, please come in.
- Yuan Ji... - Get up!
Let me be! I want more drinks!
Your Highness, we'll be heading into the capital soon.
Would you head back to your manor first or the palace?
Send someone back to my manor to notify them.
I'll head over to the palace first to report back
before I head home to the manor.
Yes.
- Get up, Yuan Ming! - Let me be!
I want more drinks.
Father has asked to see you!
Xian Wu... I want to see Xian Wu...
Leave me alone, Yuan Ji!
- Get going! - I want more drinks.
- I'm not drunk. - Yuan Ming, get up!
Stop the carriage!
Your Highness.
- Yuan Ming, get going! - Let me be!
How can you behave like this out here?
Father has asked to see you!
- Zhan! - Xian Wu...
Ji, what is the matter with Ming?
Zhan! You've come home!
You've come home!
Did you see Xian Wu when you were at A-Chai Tribe?
Did you?
Xian Wu... She's gone missing!
She's missing!
Ming has drunk too much.
Father... Father has summoned him to the palace.
I don't know how to reply to Father!
Ji, take my carriage and bring Ming back to his manor first.
I'm heading to the palace anyway and I'll tell Father that Ming is ill.
Isn't this lying to--
If Father sees him in this state, what would happen?
I'll answer to Father.
Take care of Ming.
Look for Xian Wu...
Get going, Ming!
Zhan, look for Xian Wu...
Yuan Zhan?
You lured me over with the The Mages' 12 Rare Flowers to break the spell.
This time, I'll use my ways to tackle you.
