[General And I]
[Episode 54]
Will you leave me again?
I don't wish to, but I have no other choice.
You're still Chu Bei Jie.
You're still Great Jin's Prince of Zhenbei.
As long as I stay by your side
I will always be your greatest weakness.
I'm just a husband who misses his wife.
I am but a man in great agony.
Without you, I am nothing!
They are all inside.
Yang Feng is in bad shape. I'll take a look inside first.
Is there anything to tell me?
Is there anything you wish to ask?
Yes.
A lot.
I don't know where to begin.
I don't know how to ask you.
I'll tell you everything that you wish to know.
Yang Feng?
Ping Ting.
I get so emotional when I think about you reuniting with Chu Bei Jie soon.
You left for his sake.
He kept waiting for you.
Love is so hard to come by in times of turmoil.
Stop tormenting each other.
Don't regret it until you're separated in death.
Lady Thirteen is right.
The gods have entrusted you with an important task.
You and Chu Bei Jie aren't destined
to spend your days idling in the countryside.
He Xia acted brutally and caused devastation to the world.
Only the two of you can contend against him.
In the general course of events
it's only right that you both come out of retirement.
Since that is so, she and I have taken the children with us.
Go ahead and do what you truly wish to do.
Once everything has calmed down, we'll reunite once again.
Don't worry about us.
Can I come in?
What is the matter?
It's all fine.
Yang Feng and Lady Thirteen just left.
Have a seat.
It was actually Lady Thirteen?
Lady Thirteen is an affectionate and righteous young woman.
She was the daughter of a military officer
at the border of Bai Lan and Jin.
Her home was raided by bandits.
She was sold to Great Liang by human traffickers.
After I rescued her, she's stayed by my side.
She might seem frail, but she's tougher than a full-grown man.
She is my most capable...
Friend.
Why are you explaining so much to me?
I'm afraid that you'd misunderstand me.
What is there to misunderstand?
It's already so late. You must be hungry.
I'll make you some food in the kitchen.
Is it good?
You...
Do you still live alone?
No.
Of course.
You're such a great woman.
I understand.
I'll never forget the taste of these noodles.
His name is Chang Xiao.
He is three years old.
His surname is Chu.
I can tell that you've wanted to ask about him.
You finally did.
I bore you a son.
He's obedient, sweet, and thoughtful.
Apart from him, there is no other man.
Bai Ping Ting, only you know how to handle me.
Don't let me get away from you again.
No...
It's now me and my son.
It's me and Chang Xiao.
Trust me.
I'll never let you run away again.
Wherever you may go, I'll never let you leave me again.
I believe you.
Ping Ting.
Where are you going?
I'm not going anywhere.
How wonderful.
Stay by my side.
Just stay by my side like this.
I feel as if I were in a dream.
If this were a dream, I wish that it would last longer.
Bei Jie.
What is it?
Nothing.
I just wanted to call your name.
I'll get to call you like this every morning from now on.
You said it.
Every day.
How nice.
We will never ever be apart again.
Sir!
This is all we have left!
Please let us off!
Damn you!
That is mine!
- Let go! - Sir!
Sir!
- Sir! - Please give it back!
Greetings to General.
Sir!
No one is recruited in my family.
We are just commoners.
We bear no grudge against Bai Lan State.
I have a wife who is about to go into labor.
Sir, please let us off!
Please let us off, sir!
Sir!
Please show us some mercy, sir!
Spare us, sir!
Do you know why I won't spare you?
Sir...
You are a commoner.
No one in your family is in the army.
This isn't your fault.
However, in times of turmoil
you can only blame yourself for being born in the wrong place.
Sir!
You'll have your retribution!
Lady Thirteen is so thoughtful.
She has even prepared your armor for you.
She is such a lovely woman.
Have you never fallen for her?
If I say that I never did, would you believe me?
What is the matter?
Are you angry?
I was just teasing you.
How could I be angry at you?
I'm angry at myself.
How could I think that of you and Miss Yan?
I'm so petty.
Who said that my Ping Ting is petty?
These years, you've used your hands to create the wonders of Baili Plum Woods.
The plum wine you make is sweet and mellow. It's known far and wide.
You turned a poor village into a rich and fertile field in the north.
Most importantly, you've raised our Chang Xiao safe and sound.
Do you know that you have the magical power to make people happy?
I'm jealous of those villagers.
I'm jealous of Yang Feng and Ze Yin.
I'm even jealous of our Chang Xiao.
From today onward, I'm going to enjoy my happiness.
It's been three years and you've gotten better at hoaxing?
You've lost weight?
This armor doesn't fit that well anymore.
It doesn't fit well?
Then I won't wear it.
- Are you joking? - I'm not joking.
Since I saw you again this time
the only thought in my mind is that whatever I am to do now
or what I will do in the future doesn't matter anymore.
Only you matter to me.
This armor...
If you don't like it, I can take it off.
When every woman sees her husband off to war
she hopes that he never has to put on armor
and head out to fight.
Not every husband would say
"If you don't like it, I'll take it off."
Seeing you again and hearing these words from you
I'm already very content.
All right.
Will you come with me?
Didn't we just say that we'll never be apart again?
But Great Jin is now in danger.
He Xia has already invaded the capital.
That is where you grew up.
Yet it's now in shambles.
As for me, there will always be a grievance
between me and the Great Jin officials.
If I go with you on to the battlefield
I'm afraid that I'll mar your reputation as Prince of Zhenbei.
It will hinder you from restoring Great Jin to glory.
It's been so many years.
You've stayed near the border of Jin and Liang.
Isn't it so that you could muster the forces to protect Great Jin?
If your plan is obstructed because of me
then...
You're still more adorable when you don't speak.
From today onward, forget about sacrificing for the nation
and forget how smart you are.
Just be my woman.
Bei Jie!
I haven't even packed my bags.
I haven't sent letters to Yang Feng yet!
There's still rice congee brewing on the stove. You...
Put me down now!
Bei Jie!
Don't worry. Just throw the congee out.
Chu Bei Jie!
Everyone said that whoever has Bai Ping Ting will have the world.
Now that the renowned Bai Ping Ting is in my arms
and yet she doesn't wish to come with me to the battlefield
could it be that she wants to see me defeated?
How could you be so unreasonable?
You're my wife.
How could you not come with me to the battlefield?
Put me down first.
Put you down?
Let you go and have you hide in a place
where I can't find you while you cower in sorrow alone?
Ping Ting.
I'll never let you leave me again.
I won't go anywhere.
Can I not just stay here and wait for you to come home?
No.
I won't have you wait for me.
If I were to die, we will die together.
[Yun-An City]
Prince Consort has taken Jiankang City!
Jin State now belongs to Bai Lan.
The states are to be united as one.
Prince Consort has already taken Jiankang City!
Is that true?
The states will soon be united!
This is great!
Your Highness, please halt.
What is this about?
Prince Consort has given orders that since now the world is in chaos
it's best for Your Highness to remain in the palace.
Should anything happen to Your Highness, I can't bear the consequences.
- How dare you! - Your Highness.
Do you still know who you are?
Please appease your anger, Your Highness!
I'm only carrying out orders. I don't dare to do otherwise!
Does Bai Lan belong to me or Prince Consort?
Uncles.
I understand what you mean to do.
Your Highness.
There's nothing else we truly wish for.
We have no other motives.
Bai Lan must not have a different ruler!
- Exactly! - Yes!
The ruler can't be changed!
The royal bloodline of Bai Lan will not be broken.
Bai Lan will not have a different ruler!
You must all think that I've been muddleheaded.
However, I am fully aware.
When He Xia came to Bai Lan, I already made a decision.
Whatever glory He Xia might attain
however popular he might become
I'd never allow him to take the throne!
Your Highness.
We had all thought that Your Highness...
But now that He Xia has rendered such great merits in war
the army is in his favor, and he is highly arrogant
all of Bai Lan only acknowledges He Xia, but not the princess.
The influence of the royal family has dwindled to such.
I hope that Your Highness can take precautions.
Exactly, Your Highness!
We have to take precautions!
Please don't worry about it.
- Exactly! - Take precautions!
As long as I shall live
the future king of Bai Lan can only be the child I'm carrying.
The heir to Bai Lan's royal family.
This is great!
It sets our mind at ease to hear that from Your Highness.
We can set our minds at ease.
Report!
Reporting to General!
We're less than 100 miles away from the capital now.
We can enter the city before dusk.
Convey my orders.
Make camp here.
Regroup and get some rest.
Make camp on the spot!
Prince Consort...
Young Master doesn't wish to know.
It's an important matter.
What is it?
Prince Consort.
Yun-An City officials are now divided into two parties.
Those officials that you promoted are getting ready to celebrate your victory
while the princess is meeting the royal family's officials.
The palace is now heavily guarded.
I really couldn't investigate it.
Prince Consort.
Why don't we take out the princess...
Fei Zhao Xing! What do you plan to do?
That's rebellion!
Dong Zhuo!
Head back to the camp.
Prince Consort.
I wonder why Prince Consort has summoned me.
I understand what you were trying to say just now.
It's a taboo in war to alert enemies.
The princess...
Although I won't hurt her...
I will have to be wary of her.
Assign some of your men to keep an eye on the princess.
Inform me of her faction.
Improvise and act accordingly.
I understand.
Prince Consort, rest assured.
Feng Yin greets Your Highness.
I have resided here for some time, but as we're not under the same roof
I have yet to greet you formally.
Please do forgive me, Your Highness.
This is the emerald pendant that I had Great Jin's Weipin Boutique
custom make for Your Highness.
[Weiping Boutique]
Don't stand on such ceremony.
Do get up quickly.
Since Prime Minister was taken away, no one has been in contact with you.
You must be at a loss.
I know that you were sent by Prime Minister to spy on Prince Consort.
I have no other intention of exposing your identity.
It's just that you're no longer safe in this manor.
Not even I can come and go freely anymore.
I took a risk in summoning you today to ask you an important question.
What does Your Highness wish to know?
Do you think that Prince Consort would rebel against me?
Yes, he will.
Even you would think that of him?
Your Highness.
After He Xia took Jin and Liang
he should have returned in victory to the imperial court.
However, he's stationed the troops outside Yun-An City.
It's obvious that he took military power to see how Bai Lan would react.
Your Highness.
He Xia is one meticulous man.
His mind is hard to read.
This is clearly seizing the army to defy orders from the court.
Who else in court could stand up to his authority now?
Even the people of Bai Lan are praising He Xia for his merits.
If he were to take advantage of this and enter Yun-An City
I'm afraid that...
I understand what you just said.
It's time for Your Highness to make up your mind.
Bai Lan can't spare another moment's hesitation.
Your Highness.
Have you never considered that he is our husband?
How can romance be compared to the century-old foundation of Bai Lan?
I hope that Your Highness will reconsider.
Young Master.
These years, you've been out on conquests everywhere.
The burden you carry is really too heavy and wearying.
The war is now at an end.
Why don't we get some rest?
It's not over yet.
How could I stop now?
Young Master.
I know that it hasn't been easy for you these couple of years.
I've pulled through so many obstacles and hardships with Young Master.
However, I just think that
the path you're about to embark on is too dangerous.
After all, identity and status aside, the princess is your wife.
For years, the affection Her Highness has for Young Master
was clear for all to see. Even I could tell.
Now that Sister Bai is no longer around and if Her Highness is also...
I really can't bear to see anything happen to Young Master again.
Dong Zhuo.
I have no other choice now.
Not one step is to go wrong.
Not one step is to be delayed.
We have overcome so many obstacles these years.
What was it for?
It's to have my parents rest in peace
and restore glory to Prince of Jing An's Manor.
Hence, no matter what happens...
I have to keep going.
I can't hesitate.
I can't hold back.
As for the princess...
I won't ever hurt her if she doesn't go against me.
I understand, Young Master.
Do you think that I've changed?
It isn't Young Master who has changed.
It's the world that's changed.
What is to come and what is not to come...
We can't hide from it or fend it off.
I am foolish.
I have not the ambition Young Master has.
I don't yet know how this will end.
However, I've served Young Master half of my life now.
Even if Young Master were wrong
I'd still stick through thin and thick with you.
He Xia has already taken Jin State.
He's about to take over the world.
This man is too ambitious.
We must come up with ways to stop him!
- Yes! - Exactly.
We must stop him!
Otherwise, it will be too late!
Chief General!
He Xia is at the peak of great victory and comes with great might.
I think that we should avoid clashing with him.
You mean that we are to watch helplessly as He Xia takes over the world?
Now that we're short of soldiers and generals
and do not have enough rations
how are we to stand up against He Xia and his elite soldiers?
He comes sweeping in with a huge army.
He has a great advantage in the capacity of his army.
No matter how well we deploy or line up our troops
it would all be in vain.
You already know the outcome before we even go to war?
Laud the spirit of the enemy and belittle that of our own!
Is that how we used to fight our battles?
Who is the Chief General here?
Guards!
Present!
Drag him out!
Cane him 30 times!
- Yes! - Yes!
Let go of me!
Chief General.
It isn't that I fear death.
But all of us and our soldiers are fighting for our people and our lands.
Take a look outside.
These are already the last of our people!
Will you have them charge at He Xia and be trampled by thousands of soldiers?
Will you have them be sacrificed at the tips of those spears?
General!
Let's surrender.
Perhaps we could still survive if we surrender.
Should anyone dare to mention surrendering
you will all end up like this man!
- General. - General.
The northern army of Bai Lan is as vicious as tigers and wolves.
They have now come sweeping in.
Great Jin is about to be vanquished.
Only a few of the royal family members are still on the run.
But they won't be able to hide for long.
He Xia is one ruthless man.
Sima Hong once showed off before Bai Lan State.
This time, I'm afraid that he will pay a price for it.
In my opinion, once Sima Hong is dead
the world will then be conquered as one.
Even if Sima Hong survives, he can't do much either.
He Xia is only seeking him out to prevent further trouble.
Therefore, we could probably say that the world is now conquered.
Look at us.
We're out of water and rations.
There are so few of us left.
Chief General even said that he's seeking revenge from He Xia.
- It's such a joke. - Exactly.
Our commander was even killed for voicing a different opinion.
How are we to defeat Bai Lan State with so few of us?
Exactly.
We're not even good enough to warm them up.
Isn't this just seeking our own doom?
What should we do?
Why don't we retire from the army and head home to farm?
We might get to live.
What are you talking about?
- Chief General! - Chief General!
- Who's going to farm? - Chief General...
Chief General.
We didn't say that.
Chief General.
You overheard every word.
It wasn't us.
No...
It's not like that, Chief General.
They said that He Xia is remarkable and we can't defeat him.
That was why I said such nonsense.
Please spare me, Chief General!
Do you still see yourselves as true men of Great Liang?
Great Liang is now in the hands of our enemies
and you still think of dragging out your lives in humiliation?
As long as we're alive, we should fight until the end!
Since the three of you don't wish to fight anymore
just retire and head back to farm.
- Thank you, General. - Thank you, General.
Thank you, General.
Chief General!
A new soldier is recruited!
A new soldier?
A new soldier during such times?
Even one soldier would make a difference in the outcome.
- Invite him in quickly. - Yes!
After you.
Miss Bai?
Aren't you... Why...
Chief General, you must think that I'm already dead.
How could I have shown up before you?
Am I a ghost or human?
I...
How is the war going so far?
It's not looking good.
Our army is now without any reinforcements.
Great Liang is already lost.
We're out of rations.
The morale of the army has plunged.
We might not even be able to carry out an attack.
Miss Bai, please offer us some assistance!
General, get up quickly.
How could I accept such a formal bow from you?
You deserve it.
You turned the situation around alone and saved Great Liang from danger.
Now, you could also be our commander-in-chief
and command our armed forces to save us again from danger!
Who else but Miss Bai could take on this task?
Chief General.
I do have the will to do so.
However, a frail woman like me isn't convincing enough.
Don't worry, Miss Bai.
We are at your disposal.
I will accept this task then.
Thank you, Miss Bai!
I wonder what you plan to do next.
He Xia is about to take over the world.
I'm afraid it won't be that easy for him to take over the world.
He Xia has already taken Jin and Liang State.
This has already happened.
Why does Miss Bai seem to have doubts about He Xia?
Or...
Miss Bai is very resourceful.
Bai Lan's army is formidable, and yet I can tell that
you still seem so confident.
You must already have a plan.
I hope that Miss Bai can offer me some advice.
Report!
General, you have a visitor.
General Ruo Han, how have you been?
