[General And I]
[Episode 2]
Run, Your Highness!
- Your Highness! - Run!
Your Highness!
If you want a fight, one of us must die.
When two armies are at war the winner takes all.
Meet your doom!
Are you toying with me?
Use your weapon!
Prince of Jing An.
You've aged.
Three years ago
we could still engage in combat for 200 rounds.
Yet now, you can't even take three of my stances.
I'd rather die than be humiliated!
Kill me!
There's nothing more pathetic than a hero who lived past his prime.
I won't kill you today.
There's no point in fighting anymore.
Since I owe you my life, you can take it!
My son...
Only bloodshed could summon the courage in people of Yan.
My son will avenge me.
And you, you will know no peace.
Your Highness!
[Prince of Jing An Manor's bodyguard, Dong Zhuo]
Are you all right, Your Highness?
Supreme Princess the young prince is alive!
Supreme Princess!
Supreme...
Mother!
Young Master, we've arrived.
[Prince of Jing An, He Sheng's Tomb]
[By Chu Bei Jie]
Chu Bei Jie...
Your Highness...
Father...
I have come late.
Father, I have come late!
[General of Yan State, Lu Ke]
Dong Zhuo.
Take care of my father.
Your Highness.
Surrender.
Lu Ke.
We've known each other for ten years.
We fought battles together.
You know me very well.
Do you think that I would rebel?
You barged into the palace and intended to assassinate His Majesty.
Everyone witnessed it.
Please forgive me for carrying out the orders to arrest you.
This is a conspiracy!
King of Yan is uneasy about my great merits.
He ganged up with Chu Bei Jie
and set a trap for me in order to wipe out Prince of Jing An's Manor!
His Majesty's orders.
Traitor He Xia deceived the king and betrayed the state.
Spare him not!
Young Master, watch out!
Hold me hostage. Quickly!
Get lost!
- General! - Don't move!
- Get lost! - Step back!
Dong Zhuo, let's go!
Yes!
Dong Zhuo, leave without me!
- Young Master! - Go!
Yes!
Thank you.
- General! - Don't move!
Pursue not a desperate foe!
The border is heavily ambushed.
It's inescapable.
They can't get away!
Young Prince of Jing An.
Don't ever return.
Your Highness.
We still need to travel half a day by water
before we make it ashore.
Pull in to the shore.
Yes.
Don't fidget.
The wound will tear apart.
The wound is too deep.
There aren't any doctors around.
You'll die if the wound isn't treated.
Here.
Take two sips.
This will ease the pain.
Who injured you?
This is yours.
Who exactly are you?
The fish is cooked.
Your...
Young Master, have a bite to eat?
That... How should I call you?
Young lady.
Have a bite to eat.
It's quite tasty.
You... you were too badly wounded.
So my young master...
He had your wound just about bandaged.
Have some food.
When you get some strength back we can get going.
We'll find you a good doctor.
This isn't...
Young Master...
I've kept talking to her but why doesn't she respond at all?
Could she be a mute?
A mute?
Interesting.
I quite like this conceited way of standing up to me.
Whether you can speak or not
you'd better listen up.
Since I saved your life, your life is mine.
You have to do whatever I say.
Understood?
[Prince of Jing An, General He Sheng and Supreme Princess Murong Heren's tomb.]
Young lady.
What is the matter?
You're thirsty?
You'd like to have some water?
Mo Ran, what is it?
She's thirsty.
She wants some water.
Go after her!
Wake up!
[Inn]
How is she?
She's too badly wounded.
It's all up to her fate whether she can pull through or not.
I will get her a prescription first.
Sure, after you.
After you.
Your Highness.
This is His Majesty's urgent report.
It's already the tenth one.
He wants you to return to the palace right away.
Mo Ran.
Stay and keep an eye on her.
Ask the doctor to treat her with the best medication.
She is wearing He Xia's cape.
We must get her to regain consciousness. Only then would we know the truth.
Your Highness.
This woman behaved weirdly.
What if she tries to escape again?
Don't stop her.
Follow her in secret.
You must keep her alive.
She might be someone I know.
Subject, Chu Bei Jie greets Your Majesty.
My dear subject don't stand on ceremony.
Do rise quickly.
You rode alone into Yan State's Changzi City
and gained an advantage by making concessions.
Prince of Jing An's Manor was wiped out without sacrificing any soldiers.
You have rendered a great service.
Your Majesty.
It's too soon to say that
we have wiped out the entire Prince of Jing An's Manor.
How so?
Prince of Jing An, He Sheng is already dead.
Even Prince of Jing An's Manor was burnt down by Murong Su, wasn't it?
He Sheng might be dead
but Young Prince of Jing An He Xia is nowhere to be found.
I might have taken down Prince of Jing An's Manor with luck
but the battle at Puban City He Xia did defeat me fair and just.
In comparison to the aged He Sheng, He Xia is at the peak of his prime.
He poses a greater threat to us.
I've already sent my men to search for him.
However, He Xia could no longer be of service to Yan State.
He might pose a threat but not a great one.
Now that Yan State no longer has the support of Prince of Jing An's Manor
the state is like a tiger without its claws
and an eagle without its wings.
They are now easily ours to take.
Chu Bei Jie.
You should return to the army soon
and prepare for the next conquest up north.
Your Majesty.
We just ended one conquest to the north and should we start another
it will only do harm to our people.
In recent years, there has been unending battles around Jin State.
We have had great many expenses on military supplies.
Our people suffered terribly from the turmoil and heavy taxes.
Now that Prince of Jing An's Manor is eliminated
there's no longer much threat Yan State could impose on us.
Your faithful subject...
I beseech Your Majesty to keep your people safe from hardship.
You mean to say that
although I made a pact with Yan State
that once Prince of Jing An's Manor is eliminated
I am to reconcile with Yan State...
So I have decided to go back on my word and break my promise?
I wouldn't dare say so.
I've already given him time to take a break from war and recuperate.
If it hadn't been for this pact
you'd have long been commanded to take
the head of King of Yan in his palace hall.
You wouldn't still be standing here telling me about my people's suffering.
Is that what you should be concerned about?
Please reconsider it, Your Majesty!
I...
Reporting to Your Majesty.
Great General has traveled a great distance.
I'm afraid that he's too tired to come up with a new strategy
and hence made this suggestion.
Your Majesty, please give him more time to make plans for battle.
Tired from traveling?
I think that you're just sick of living.
Let me ask you this.
You changed your plans at the last minute during the battle and acted arrogantly.
I then sent ten urgent reports to have you to return to the imperial court.
You ignored all my letters.
I was worried sick about this battle.
How should you be punished for it?
Your Majesty, please appease your anger.
Great General just rendered a great victory
so it wouldn't please the people to punish him instead.
Why doesn't Your Majesty allow Great General to redeem himself?
Fine.
I'll give you a month.
Head back home and reflect on your mistakes.
Think up some military strategies and prepare for the next conquest.
If not, you can bring your head to me!
Court is dismissed!
Long live the king!
[Prince of Jing An, He Sheng's Tomb] [By Chu Bei Jie]
Your Highness...
Supreme Princess...
I swear to you that I will find Young Prince of Jing An.
I will risk my life to keep him safe.
Please watch over him from the heavens.
Please watch over us.
[Prince of Zhenbei's Manor]
Come in.
Your Highness.
Why have you returned?
I've failed in my duty.
That young lady managed to escape.
She was severely wounded.
How could she possibly escape under your watch?
It's all my fault.
I already discovered it when she slipped away in the dead of the night.
I thought that since she's so badly wounded
I wouldn't have to watch her too closely.
So I only followed her from afar.
Who knew that once I got into the woods, it would be like a labyrinth?
Everywhere I went was a dead end.
I went around in circles but I just couldn't get out of it.
I was trapped in the woods all night.
When the fog cleared this morning it was as if nothing had happened.
I could easily leave the woods.
Your Highness.
Could that young lady be capable of witchcraft?
Do you still remember that battle outside Puban City?
Yes, I do.
That was also very bizarre.
If I am right
that young lady could well be that skilled strategist
who assisted He Xia on the city walls
by commanding the army with her zither music.
I've neglected my duty!
I've let such a troublesome woman escape.
Your Highness...
Please forgive me.
I'll send more men to search for her whereabouts.
Get up.
It didn't even come to mind that she was the strategist.
It's not surprising that she could escape from your watch.
Don't blame yourself.
But...
The place they are heading should be Wulao Peak, correct?
Be it her or He Xia, who escaped from Lu Ke
we won't have to go after them.
Whatever will be will be.
Wherever I, Chu Bei Jie will be, they will go.
Enjoy your meal.
Server.
- A bowl of tea. - Sure!
Coming right up!
Let's go!
What are they putting up?
They are recruiting soldiers again.
Didn't we just end a battle?
Why are we going to war again?
Don't all wars take lives?
Soldiers got killed last time so they need to fill in the vacancies.
This is so sad.
It's so sad to serve in the army.
A life is lost so easily.
Poor soldiers?
Aren't the commoners just as pitiful?
First, they recruit the soldiers and then they tax us.
Just wait and see.
Tea is served.
It's not cold and not too hot. Just right.
Who said that they won't?
I can't even feed myself.
[Banshan Temple]
The Hua family in Jiankang City might not be some nobility
but they run a huge business in silk and fabric.
They are considered a wealthy family.
Miss Hua is the single child of the family.
She is well educated and sophisticated.
Her appearance is decent and nice.
What is it?
The general already has some young lady on his mind?
You could say so.
When I was young, I met her once.
Great General, I never knew that you were so humorous.
Do I look like I'm just joking?
I thought it was only our emperor of Jin who is so faithful to one woman.
The empress had to persuade him so many times
before he finally married Noble Consort Zhang.
Who knew that Great General is also such a dedicated lover?
You've kept her on your mind since you last met her as a teen.
It puts me to shame.
I wonder which family is fortunate enough to have such a daughter?
I don't even know her name.
I haven't seen her since then.
I see.
However, it's fairly common for men to have concubines.
Miss Hua always offers incense and plays the zither
at Jingsi Tower across the street on the fifteenth of every month.
I've especially asked you out here today so that you could hear Miss Hua play.
It's said that music reflects the person playing it.
You could get an insight into the young lady's personality first.
Grand Marshal, you'd make a great matchmaker
if you retire as an official.
It's just a pity that juggling two matters at one time
makes you a bad Go player.
I've been too careless.
- I won't go! - Young Mistress!
- My good young mistress... - Nanny Chen.
You may all dismiss.
Stop being so willful.
Sit down quickly and start playing the zither.
Stop thinking about that Young Master Chen.
Your matchmaker is Grand Marshal himself.
Chu Bei Jie is the godson of the Empress Dowager.
He is the Great General of the current reign!
We can't afford to offend him.
You should just sit down here and play the zither.
Don't be nervous. Just play like you used to.
I'll keep watch by the door.
Call out to me if you need anything.
All right now. Young Mistress, behave.
Play now.
Go on, quickly.
Play the zither well. Be good.
How beautiful!
Do you hear that?
It must be Miss Hua playing the zither.
I had thought that the daughter of a merchant
would have played pretentiously and merely out of fun.
Who knew that the young lady has such great skills in playing the zither?
I really did underestimate her.
I wonder if Miss Hua has ever ventured beyond the Great Wall?
The Hua family has always run their business in the Central Plains.
I've never heard that anyone in the family has ever traveled.
This tune she is playing originated from a foreign region, Longshuo.
Very few people in Central Plains could play this tune.
I wonder how Miss Hua learned to play this tune?
This...
Where are you going, General?
You haven't finished listening to the tune.
It's hard to find one who appreciates the same music.
Bei Jie would like to meet Miss Hua.
[Jingsi Tower]
