[General And I]
[Episode 47]
Mother, I'm sleepy.
Good boy, Chang Xiao. Go to bed first.
I'll join you when I'm done.
Sure.
Chang Xiao.
Do you know that Auntie Ping Ting is going to become the village chief?
What is a village chief?
A village chief
is like a heroine that my father describes.
Auntie Ping Ting can protect us.
Will I become a big hero?
Definitely!
We'll practice martial arts with my father
and we'll definitely become heroes in the future.
- A big hero! - A big hero!
Look! What is this?
What is this?
Brother Ze Qing!
Chang Xiao!
Ze Qing!
Chang Xiao!
Who said you could touch these?
- All right now. - Mother!
- It's all right.
You... What if you got hurt?
It's all right.
- Mother... - Yang Feng, it's all right.
It's fine that they aren't hurt.
It's normal for children to be mischievous.
Don't cry.
All right now.
- Chang Xiao. - Mother.
Mother...
All right, go to bed.
Go to bed.
Don't be naughty again, all right? Go to bed now.
Quickly.
Go to bed quickly.
Silly woman.
You still can't forget him.
Don't you wish to know where he's been all these years?
Or how he is?
Everyone!
In such turbulent times
the political scope of the world has changed drastically.
It seems that Yan State now keeps a lethargic army.
Moreover, Liang State is no threat at all.
Only my powerful Bai Lan State holds a million mighty soldiers
and conquers every inch of land in the world.
- Great! - Great!
Take another look!
On the commander's platform high above the ground
one man stands above all others.
- Who is it? - Who is it?
Everyone is asking the same question.
Who is this man?
- Exactly! Who is he? - He's Prince Consort of Bai Lan State!
Prince Consort?
Then you must be thinking...
Who is this prince consort?
Exactly! Who is he?
Who is it? Don't keep us hanging!
Tell us!
Hero of the chaotic times Young Prince of Jing-An!
He Xia is his name!
Your Highness!
Prince Consort returns in victory. He's outside the palace.
Wasn't he only supposed to make it back in seven days?
How did Prince Consort make it home so soon?
I rode swiftly day and night without making any stops
just so I could get home sooner to see Your Highness.
As a prince consort, how could you say such frivolous words in court?
Prime Minister Gui, how are my words inappropriate?
All right now.
Prince Consort leads the army well.
The soldiers are mighty and the horses are strong.
With the counsel of both Prime Minister and Prince Consort
Bai Lan State is powerful from the inside out.
I'm deeply grateful.
Your Highness.
This is all because of your wisdom.
I'm only carrying out your orders.
Your Highness.
I've discovered some rare treasures along the way.
Your Highness, please have a look.
These is but some common silver and gold jewelry.
Things like this are very common in Bai Lan's treasury.
Why bother showing them off in the imperial court?
If Prince Consort likes them, you can keep them in your manor
and play with them in private.
Prime Minister Gui.
I've also prepared some uncommon items.
Bai Lan's army is formidable.
Wherever we go, all succumb to us.
Your Highness.
These are the gold keys of the 10 cities as promised in the battle proposal.
Please accept them.
- 10 cities? - Keys of 10 cities?
Prince Consort truly is valiant!
- How mighty! - Exactly
Prince Consort is remarkable!
10 cities?
This is wonderful.
Prime Minister mentors me on civil affairs
and Prince Consort goes on expeditions for me.
Now, Bai Lan is seemingly the hegemony.
Congratulations, Your Highness!
Bai Lan is powerful and prosperous!
We shall surely dominate the world again!
Master.
He Xia.
As long as I live
I won't allow you to do as you wish in Bai Lan.
What is the time now?
Lu Yi!
Your Highness...
You woke up so early?
Prince Consort.
Yesterday, I granted Lu Yi and Dong Zhuo a day off.
They must still be asleep now.
Then why are you...
All right now, get some more sleep.
Prince Consort, don't fool around.
What is it?
I still have to attend imperial court later.
It's best that Your Highness relax a bit.
You'll soon be crowned queen.
Just leave political affairs to me.
Give me a kiss.
Your Highness!
Please forgive me!
I should have exercised more self-control last night.
Who knew that I'd sleep until this hour?
Forget it. It's your first mistake.
Besides, you've always worked very hard.
I'll spare you just this once.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Get up now.
Your Highness, please have some tea.
Your Highness.
When I entered, I noticed that smile on your face.
It makes one feel such romance in the air.
Prince Consort really is the best remedy for Your Highness's mood.
On that note, I've never seen Your Highness neglect state affairs.
However, last night, Your Highness...
How atrocious!
Look at you. What are you talking about?
Princess and Prince Consort are so deeply in love.
You always talk too much.
Be careful. I might get someone to stitch up your little mouth.
If you give birth to a little prince
I don't mind having my mouth stitched up at all.
Exactly.
Now that Bai Lan State is strong and prosperous
with a well-balanced imperial court
it's about time to have a little prince.
I'm not attending the early session of court today.
Lu Yi, summon Imperial Physician Tang here for me.
Imperial Physician Tang?
That Imperial Physician Tang?
You took his medication for half a year, but it wasn't effective at all.
Prime Minister told him off, and he retired out of fear.
The imperial physicians are surely highly skilled
but the patient also has to cooperate.
The medication might not have worked wonders
but it didn't make things worse either.
Lu Yi, go and summon Imperial Physician Tang again.
I think that he would take more caution this time.
If he could help me in conceiving a little prince
I'll reward him with a high but easy position.
By then, he could spend the rest of his life with ease.
Yes, I understand.
Prime Minister.
Do you know what this is about?
Her Highness's decree arrives!
The thieves of Jin State are cunning.
For years, they have coveted our lands.
They are indeed a great threat to us.
Now that the imperial court of Jin State lacks discipline
people have lost faith.
They now suffer from natural disaster and their refugees pour into our lands.
Their troops are all restless and anxious.
Their condition is worrying.
Hence...
I appoint Prince Consort as the commander-in-chief
to launch war upon Jin State immediately to restore peace to Bai Lan State.
By the princess herself.
Is it true what Prince Consort said?
We're going to attack Jin State?
This will hurt us!
Hurry up!
Pull harder.
Pull it tightly!
Yes!
Gentlemen, your wine is here.
Carry it up there.
Here, slowly.
Yes.
Good!
Brothers, the wine is here.
What are you looking at?
Gentlemen.
We used to deliver wine to Jiaoyan Casino.
We've all greeted you before.
Today, please make things easier for us.
Make it easier for us.
Here, give us a hand.
You're delivering wine and we have to do manual work for you?
- Exactly. - Just a few taels?
You're buying us with that?
You can carry the wine yourselves.
If it's just the two of us
we won't be able to load them on the ship even by nightfall.
It's a whole cart full of wine.
I'd have to take a good look then.
What are you doing?
It really is a full cart of wine.
How about this?
That little woman gives me a kiss.
You're sick of living?
- What are you doing? - Stop it!
Don't get into trouble.
The young woman is right.
Whose turf are you on?
Give me a kiss and I'll load all the wine on the ship for you.
- You... - Ze Yin!
Forget it.
Fine.
We don't need your help.
We can do it ourselves.
Brothers, I'll go to the market first.
I'll come back to meet you later.
Go on. Be careful.
Hands off once you place your bet.
I'll drink as much as you do.
Here, here!
Remarkable!
- Good! - Good!
- Great! - Great!
- Well done!
- Good! - Good!
- Great! - Great!
[Lady Thirteen of Yan]
- Great! - Great!
I'm going to open it up now!
- You're really lucky. - Exactly!
Let's go!
General!
General.
I heard that there are rare treasures in Jiaoyan Casino.
There's said to be an inch of gold in every inch of Jiaoyan Casino.
Since we're already inside
why don't we take a good look at the rare items in Jiaoyan Casino?
Let's go.
Here, here! Place your bets!
- Place your bets! - I bet small!
I bet big!
- Open! - I bet small!
See? I'm right!
Place your bets!
Here, here!
Place your bets.
Remarkable!
This cicada-shaped gold bell is engraved with a relaxed set of wings.
It was carefully selected.
It's exquisitely carved and made with the finest material.
It's indeed top quality.
That's for certain.
I got this precious item from Weipin Boutique in Jin State's capital.
You can't find such treasures elsewhere other than in their store.
He's here.
Remarkable!
This precious item is worth at least 100 taels.
Gentlemen, name your price.
I've long heard about Weipin Boutique in Jin State's capital.
It has a collection of treasures from all places in the world.
It's said that every morning at 9:00 a.m.
when the new items are displayed, they will sell out immediately.
Now that I've seen a treasure from Weipin Boutique today
it does live up to its reputation.
Exactly.
The owner of Weipin Boutique Xiao Wei is a beauty.
All items that she picked out are of the finest quality.
I'll pay 150 silver taels for it.
Good!
I'll pay 200 taels!
I'll pay 300 taels!
- Good! - This gentleman?
I'll pay 350 taels!
Good!
I'll pay 500 taels!
500 taels?
Is anyone bidding higher?
What about you? Will you bid higher?
Is anyone here going to bid higher?
Deal!
This cicada-shaped gold bell is sold for 500 taels!
- Great! - Great!
Congratulations!
Lady Thirteen.
A cicada should go with the tail of a ferret.
Mink "Diao" and Cicada "Chan" forms the name of a legendary beauty.
That is the perfect combination.
If so, why don't I give this set of mink and cicada to Lady Thirteen?
This really is great.
This gentleman is so well read.
However, I can't accept a gift without making an effort.
I can't accept such a valuable gift.
I do like the sound of being addressed as a legendary beauty.
Why don't I pay you 300 taels for that ferret's tail?
Just 300 taels?
300 gold taels!
300 gold taels?
- Great! - Great!
I thank this gentleman for his gift.
All wine is on Lady Thirteen of Yan!
- Drink to your heart's content! - Great!
Lady Thirteen!
There are more treasures!
This is a set of military manuals from the Warring States Period.
Military manual?
It's said that these manuals were written by the Taoist deity Gui Guzi.
Which hero is interested in these military manuals?
We don't need them!
General.
Miss Bai would surely like these military manuals.
Why don't we bid for them and give them to her as a gift?
Sure!
Here, let me fill up your glass.
- Drink! - Good, good.
- Drink! - Drink!
- Let's drink! - Here.
Is no one going to bid for them?
We're here for the treasures.
Who would buy a set of old military manuals?
- Exactly! - Do we need to fight on battlefields?
We're here for treasures!
- Exactly! - We don't need military manuals!
Those tattered books are useless!
Show us a true treasure!
- Here! - Let's drink!
Exactly! Let's drink!
No one is going to buy them.
- Exactly. - Bottoms up!
I don't even want them for free.
Exactly!
- Here, drink! - Here!
I'll fill your glass. Keep drinking.
Lady Thirteen!
No one bids for them! How about the next treasure?
Exactly! Who wants that?
- Switch to the next one! - The next one!
Deal!
Is anyone bidding?
Who bought it?
Why is she sealing the deal before anyone bids for it?
Isn't this... against the rules?
Gentlemen, look over here.
Look at this precious item!
This is a good one!
Let's go.
That's strange.
We just saw Lady Thirteen going this way.
In just a blink, she...
She's gone?
Let's go.
Where did the others go?
General, don't you find this ship a bit strange?
Indeed.
This is the first time I've seen so many plants on a ship.
On this luxurious ship of Jiaoyan Casino
why would these plants wither when they have ample water and sunlight?
The withered plants reveal a fact.
Their roots run shallow.
It means that these plants are often moved around.
This is bad. We're in the thieves' lair!
Let's leave now.
What are you doing here?
We're new here.
Yes, we're new here.
You're new here? Why are you crippled?
I might limp a bit, but I'm very strong.
Is that so?
Gentlemen!
Gentlemen, what brought you here?
Are you looking for me?
We needed the toilet urgently after unloading the goods
and came looking for it, but then...
Run!
Lady Thirteen!
Go after them!
Go!
Mistress.
Did you see those two wine delivery men?
No.
Investigate their identities.
Yes.
Don't alert them before we find out who they are.
Go on.
- Step aside! - Step aside! Quickly!
Find those two delivery men!
One of them is crippled!
Yes!
What exactly happened?
Why would Ze Yin and Wei Ting leave in such a hurry?
Why are they chasing after them?
[Safe and sound, I'll come back to you. Even killed, my love won't die with me.]
Your steps are scattered and breath rapid.
Thirteen, what's wrong?
I just met an extraordinary lady.
It's rare that the owner of Jiaoyan Casino Yan Thirteen
would find any other women exceptional.
Who else could be more impressive than your own wife?
It seems that we've collected just about enough good books of Jin State.
Yes.
Libraries of several prestigious families have been bought
by our book brokers.
The rare books that were smuggled out of the palace and temples
are now in Jiaoyan Casino's storage.
Well done.
If the books of a nation aren't kept, the nation won't prosper.
These are all the best weapons in the world.
We have to collect as many of them as we can.
Otherwise, it's a pity for them to go up in the flames of war.
It might seem peaceful now, but judging from the market trends
highly valuable items are now out in various markets.
Trouble is brewing.
We need to be prepared.
Our scouts reported back.
He Xia went against the objections of those old aristocrats
and launched an attack already.
Did you do what I told you to?
Rations, silver taels, weapons, staff, and information.
They are all standing by awaiting your instructions.
Good.
You've worked hard.
Our days in Jiaoyan Casino will come to an end soon.
Chang Xiao, don't move.
Here comes the fish.
I like fish!
I want some fish!
I like fish.
Why aren't you eating?
Here, let's dig in.
How was it in the city today?
It's very lively.
There are crowds of people everywhere.
Just those lining up for sugar-coated fruit
are enough to take up a whole lane.
There are so many others doing the lion dance and performing acrobatics.
It's quite energetic.
Father.
Father, take me and Chang Xiao with you when you deliver wine
into the city next time. Please?
Sure! I'll take you and Chang Xiao with me next time.
Great!
Let's have lunch.
Ping Ting?
Why aren't you eating?
Are these dishes not to your liking?
It's not that.
It just needs some pepper.
You're always so picky.
Here, eat up.
Here.
Have a bit more yourself.
Here, Chang Xiao.
Eat more.
Ze Yin.
You forgot to collect the payment.
What happened?
I'll be honest with you.
Today, Wei Ting and I accidentally went into
Jiaoyan Casino's basement storage.
The stock in there is as good as a national treasury.
Wei Ting and I discovered huge quantities of official taels.
Once they cash those in...
Jiaoyan Casino is not a safe place.
I'm afraid...
It might get us killed.
We can't stay here much longer.
