[General And I]
[Episode 59]
Stop.
You can pass through.
Stop.
Let me check.
You can pass through.
This is tasty.
Don't go yet.
Come and take a look!
It's just off of the grill.
[Phoenix Restaurant]
When I came into Qie Rou City
I noticed that the people here are in a great panic.
Rumors are spreading, and their people seemed to be wavering.
It seems that your hard work has paid off.
Our plan is going very well.
You're the brilliant one.
We've already found out how the defense is laid out
and where the rations are stocked.
Other than that, there's also good news.
You suggested creating a supernatural phenomenon
to frighten the people out of the city before killing the garrison commander
breaking the city's defense, and letting our army in.
It now seems that we won't have to resort to such a complicated plan.
How is that so?
I'll keep you guessing.
You'll figure it out in no time.
I'll look forward to it then.
How can you be so oblivious to everything?
You don't even know what's happening in the city!
So much for being the garrison commander of Qie Rou!
Do you think that I didn't notice?
Look.
May I ask what happened then?
Quickly! What happened to the water in the well?
What are we going to drink?
Look at this color.
This could kill us.
Let's go. Don't take anything!
Let's go.
- Let's go. - Quickly.
Let's go.
Something has gone wrong again.
What is that?
Let's take a look.
It says that 200 taels will be rewarded.
They are looking for the two inspectors who came to Qie Rou some time ago.
It's said that they have gone missing.
Garrison Commander is giving out rewards to whoever finds them.
If you have any information, report it to the garrison office.
What? Even officials are missing?
It's been quite strange in Qie Rou City these days.
It isn't safe here.
Even the officials are in trouble.
The civilians are probably going to suffer soon.
Have you heard of this saying?
When benevolent ruling ends, the will of the gods is lost.
In just a day, tablets engraved with that quote were dug up in many places.
Even our drinking water from the well is now abnormal.
On top of that, even the officials are missing.
This can't be a good sign.
Exactly. We should pack up quickly and escape.
- Let's get out of here. - Quickly.
You and your foul mouth really got it right this time.
Someone is behind all this.
It seems that I won't be the garrison commander of Qie Rou for long.
You're the one with the foul mouth.
Someone has been following us for a while.
Don't be scared.
How about this?
We'll lure him into a dark alley
and then shoot him like we would hunt a rabbit in the mountain.
Let's go.
Don't stop. Keep going.
Should I shoot him in the neck or the chest?
I don't know.
Don't ask me about that.
Come on out, stalker.
Let's have a chat.
Mo Ran?
Zui Ju.
I'm so happy to see you.
You didn't even write to us.
Aren't you afraid that we'd be worried sick?
Garrison Commander.
If Zui Ju wasn't with you, you'd be dead by now.
I prefer shooting in the neck.
Then that will shut him up.
No! He's...
It's you?
I also prefer the neck.
Brother Bei Jie! Sister Bai!
Zui Ju!
Sister Bai!
In the end, I'm actually the poor rabbit.
Sister Bai, you're still alive! How wonderful!
I missed you so much, Sister Bai!
I thought that I'd never see you again!
Sister Bai!
Where is your child?
He's fine. Everything's fine.
I'm not dead and you're doing well.
This is just wonderful!
I missed you so much!
Bai Ping Ting?
It's good to finally see the lady herself.
Fan Lu! Did you deceive me?
You knew that Sister Bai is alive.
You definitely deceived me just to make me stay, didn't you?
I can't be bothered to explain.
All I have to say is that you could catch up later.
Did you not see this thing on my shoulder?
You still dare to raise your voice at me now?
Do you know who is standing behind you?
You'd better watch out or I'll get him to slit your throat!
It doesn't matter who stands behind me.
What matters is that if he really slits my throat
wouldn't you be upset?
I...
You... I...
We've been here for a while.
Just tell me.
I... Why would I care to see you dead?
If you're mean to me, I'll have him kill you!
Don't! Your Highness!
I was just kidding!
I was just kidding. Please don't...
Enough with the teasing for now.
Garrison Commander, we're here to discuss something with you.
The renowned Prince of Zhenbei is here to discuss something with me?
This really is such a great honor.
I am but a mere garrison commander.
What is it you see in me?
All in all, you're just after the rations?
We all know that you have a battle against our prince consort.
What a coincidence.
An enemy's enemy is a friend.
I don't quite see eye to eye with that He Xia.
Everyone knows that Prime Minister Gui and He Xia didn't get along.
Since Prime Minister Gui died
his subordinates have been treated most unkindly.
Even a cat or a dog could piss on me if he wanted.
Garrison Commander, you mean...
I'll make it simple for you.
I can pledge allegiance to Prince of Zhenbei.
But...
On one condition.
What condition?
No...
Qie Rou City is after all very important.
One condition isn't enough.
I need two!
Is this the time for that?
You're even haggling with His Highness?
Do you think they are just cats and dogs?
Your Highness, I'm so sorry.
That's his temperament.
Don't be angry at him.
You're still laughing?
You're more anxious that I am.
I'm not even nervous. Why should you be?
You...
Qie Rou City is indeed very important to us.
Since Master Fan Lu is willing to join our alliance
that is for the best.
One condition would have been great, but two aren't too many either.
Garrison Commander, do feel free to tell us your two conditions
to see if we find them acceptable or feasible.
First of all, I want Zui Ju.
I'm not some object!
How can you ask His Highness for me?
I'm discussing the terms now.
What has it got to do with you?
This is one simple condition.
I'll agree to it.
But Zui Ju just said that she isn't an object.
Can you guarantee that she will be with me forever?
I'll point at your fingers with my sword.
If she refuses to be with you, I'll slice off your finger.
I can be sure that before I slice all 10 fingers off
she would agree to it.
All right!
I'll agree to it!
That's one hardcore method.
Now that you're happy with the first condition
what is your second condition?
The second one...
I haven't come up with one yet.
I'll let you know when I do.
Sure.
A city for a woman.
I'm such a profligate.
What did you say?
Nothing.
By the way, there are all sorts of weird sights in the city.
The well water has changed color.
Could it be that you've poisoned the water?
We are behind it, but we didn't poison the water.
It's just been dyed.
Garrison Commander, fret not.
After all, the people are innocent.
I wonder how many people Prince of Zhenbei brought with you.
Just the four of us.
Four?
It's plenty.
Next, we'll need your help.
We've already stirred up quite a commotion in Qie Rou City.
There's not much time left.
We have to make a move soon.
Since I've pledged my allegiance to Prince of Zhenbei
I'll surely obey your every command.
Please meet me in my manor tonight to discuss our plans.
Sure.
Imbeciles! Ignorant idiots!
Young Master, what's wrong?
Someone has been stirring up trouble in all of Bai Lan's cities.
I've already said that it was deliberate, but none of them took it seriously!
These veteran officials have now signed a joint report.
They asked to postpone my coronation.
They said that it's against the will of the gods.
Dong Zhuo.
I've summoned you here today to assign you a task.
I am at your service.
Fei Zhao Xing is corrupted.
You are to seek out evidence to prove his crimes.
Be sure to keep it confidential.
Young Master.
You're going to take out Fei Zhao Xing?
Someone who is fickleminded is always a troublemaker.
What is it? Do you find me too ruthless getting rid of him?
No, not at all.
Young Master certainly has your reasons for doing so.
Moreover, Fei Zhao Xing is indeed corrupt.
Forget it.
Those are just trivial matters.
I'll conquer the world soon to be made the king.
Whereas you, young man, can assume responsibilities now.
As for Ping Ting...
If she's still alive, I'll kill her when I see her!
Young Master. Sister Bai is still alive?
If it weren't for her, why would Chu Bei Jie come out of retirement?
How is it going with the crown?
I've already found the best craftsmen. They are all renowned masters.
However, those masters are all cowards.
They went into hiding when the war started.
It wasn't easy to seek them out.
Nearly all of the jewels for the crown are collected.
The big sapphire that is to be in the center must be of the best quality.
However, we only found one so far.
The jewels for the king's crown are ready, but the queen's...
Save them for the queen's crown first.
Young Master.
There's no rush in finishing my crown.
It can be done later.
As for the queen's crown, the materials must be good.
The craftsmanship has to be exquisite.
Do you understand?
Yes.
A dance into the skies... A long empty dream...
Love never ran deep...
Don't be so anxious. They will arrive soon.
- Mentor! - Dear child!
Mentor!
- Dear child! - Mentor!
I missed you so much!
I too missed you dearly!
All right now, don't cry.
Don't cry anymore.
Don't cry.
Why don't I kowtow three times to Father-in-law
and have him accept me as his son-in-law?
How does that sound?
This is my mentor.
What are you kowtowing for?
As long as you treat my disciple well, you won't have to kowtow to me.
Father-in-law or Mentor, either is fine.
Whatever you like!
- Yes! - Mentor.
Without further ado, we need to get down to business.
Yes, Your Highness.
After you.
This is the map of Qie Rou City's surroundings.
These red lines are the main routes for transporting rations.
Qie Rou City is where they stop to rest.
He Xia is a foreign prince consort.
He might hold great power in his hands now
but it's possible that the veterans are still fond of their past rulers.
Is it possible to cause a rift from within the army of Bai Lan?
Your Highness did come to the right man.
I was in the army for some time.
I know the army very well.
As for who we can draw over to our side and who we can't
I know all too well.
That couldn't be better.
Please write down a list of names and we can investigate them.
Furthermore, can you open up the ration storage of Qie Rou as well?
Certainly.
But what do you have in mind?
If you're going to transport rations out of the city
it might not be feasible.
There are too many spies around us.
We're not going to transport them.
We're just going to drug them.
Drug them?
That's even more difficult.
As long as one person is poisoned, they will find us out very soon.
Therefore...
Don't worry.
We're not going to poison the rations but drug them.
I could make such drugs.
Drug the rations?
That is a good plan.
But I finally understood why
Prime Minister Gui and He Xia kept trying to break you up.
What on earth are you talking about?
That's not what I meant.
I'm sorry, Sister Bai.
I meant that once both of you joined forces, who else could defeat you?
All right, there's no time to lose.
We have to get started tonight.
How could any wife have her husband drink poisoned wine?
This is the poisoned wine.
Are you relieved now?
Where is my crown?
No...
No!
Don't drink it!
No!
No...
Young Master, what is it?
Are you all right?
- I'm fine. - Young Master.
Step out.
Young Master, I have a report for you.
Last night, one of our generals was assassinated.
Who is it?
Commander of Ganfeng Troop, Cui Lin Jian.
Cui Lin Jian?
Exactly.
He was beheaded in his own tent in the middle of the night.
His head was hung on his door.
Did they catch the killer?
Not yet.
General Cui was by no means some weakling.
Someone who could sneak into his tent and behead him without being discovered...
I suspect that it was Chu Bei Jie.
Chu Bei Jie?
I don't think that it's him.
Cui Lin Jian is still quite new in the army.
Why would Chu Bei Jie kill such a man of no importance?
Young Master, you mean...
I'm afraid that it was done by someone in our own army.
Someone is running out of patience.
When Young Master first promoted General Cui
many of the senior generals questioned General Cui's ability
to lead Ganfeng Troop.
However, Young Master is about to ascend the throne.
Who would dare do so at such a critical time?
Once Cui Lin Jian is dead, Ganfeng Troop is without a leader.
If I appoint someone else to take over Ganfeng Troop
who's the most likely person to gloat over it?
Yes, I remember it now.
When Genera Cui took charge of Ganfeng Troop
one person was the most displeased about it.
Moreover, he leads Yongtai Troop.
Their camp is the closest to Ganfeng Troop's.
If the adjoining troops are led by one commander
it would be the best outcome for him.
That man is also a suitable commander for Ganfeng Troop.
What does Young Master plan to do?
Convey my orders.
Command General Qi Tian to investigate this case.
In three days, he has to solve it no matter what.
If he doesn't get to the bottom of it, tell him to hand over his head.
Yes.
Your Highness.
Ping Ting.
Perfect timing.
Today, I have concocted the drug.
It's colorless and odorless.
The effect is just what we wanted.
I just need to make a bigger dosage tomorrow and we'll have plenty.
You've been up all night again.
Haven't you?
How did the plan go?
I sneaked into the camp and did it with one stroke.
I didn't have to use Invincible Divine. Just a dagger was fine.
Before our enemy knew what was happening, he was already dead.
If we have no other way to make a living, I could always be an assassin.
I know that Your Highness has never done such an unmentionable deed.
If we had enough soldiers
you'd surely challenge our enemies on the battlefield.
Don't worry.
My dear, we have to resort to any means at war.
Assassination isn't so bad.
Where is the garrison commander?
I'm here!
You're up so early?
Have you had breakfast?
I did.
I'll bring it to your assistant then.
I dare you!
Who are you threatening?
I mean that my assistant wouldn't dare have my food.
You're quite sensible.
Ever since you met Father-in-law, you've become a lot more obedient.
Would you like it if I stay so obedient?
Of course!
Keep eating.
My mentor said that I should act sensibly.
So as not to disturb you from work, I'll head back now.
I'll visit you later.
I'm not working yet!
What is it?
I feel so itchy all over!
Let me take a look.
There aren't any spots.
How is it?
There aren't any symptoms.
Let me read your pulse.
It doesn't show from your pulse either.
Doesn't show on my pulse?
Sister Bai, you're remarkable!
You actually tested the drug on me!
So what if I did?
What have I done?
You're asking me?
Answer me!
Did you tell my mentor...
Did you tell him that... I've slept with you?
It's because of that?
I...
You have every right to drug me this time.
How about we make that rumor come true?
Let's just make it happen.
I dare you to say such nonsense!
It hurts!
Serves you right!
Hold on!
How long will it take for the drug to wear off?
The effects? It depends.
It lasts longer on some people and shorter on others.
Listen up!
It's really difficult to make this drug.
I'm skilled in medicine.
Those huge piles of medicinal herbs on the table are enough to dazzle me.
It must be hard for Sister Bai.
She knows everything.
Listen.
Even if you test the rice congee for the drug with a silver needle
you won't discover it.
Whoever is drugged will only react like you do. It's just a bit of an itch.
Then they will become feeble.
Then they will split into two different symptoms.
One is drowsiness.
And the other is the loss of strength in limbs.
Those commanders will start getting paranoid
when they can't find a cause for their symptoms.
It makes me so happy. What a sense of achievement!
If the effect isn't as you said
wouldn't you have killed your own husband?
Where is the antidote?
There is none!
[Ration Storage]
Greetings to Garrison Commander.
Good.
How is the inventory going?
Garrison Commander, we're now transporting rations to Yongtai Troop.
Sure, keep going.
Yes.
Hurry up!
The ones over there! Hurry up!
- Let's go. - Move them out!
- Quickly! - Coming!
- Quickly! - Yes!
Come out here quickly if you're done loading them!
Yes!
- Hurry up! - Go!
Quickly!
Hurry up!
Keep up!
The ones over there!
Come in.
Greetings to Regent Prince.
I wonder why Regent Prince summoned me.
General!
Imperial officials are investigating you.
You must be cautious.
All right, head back now.
- Yes! - Yes!
These are the designs for the king and queen's crowns.
Take a look.
They are exquisite and elegant!
This is such an exquisite design!
Only such a priceless crown is worthy of Regent Prince's heroic status.
However, my craftsmen told me that there is only one suitable jewel
for the centerpiece of the crowns.
Tell me.
Which one should I put it on?
It certainly should be placed on the king's crown.
[Queen's Crown]
Regent Prince, you're so devoted and affectionate.
I've been foolish.
If she had been alive...
She would have been so beautiful in this crown.
Fei Zhao Xing.
I've summoned you here today to inform you
that the troops will be reorganized.
I'd like you to hand over the tally.
Pardon me, I've meant to do so all along.
You have contributed greatly.
Dong Zhuo!
Give him some wine.
What is it?
You're afraid to drink it?
Thank you, Regent Prince!
Thank you for the wine!
Regent Prince, for the sake of your ambition
the princess contributed to it with her death.
Regent Prince.
Please don't be too upset!
If the princess lives, you will always be suppressed.
This world would have also belonged to the princess.
The princess is the last obstacle between you and your ambition.
Only when the princess is dead
can Regent Prince hold great power in your hands without any concern!
You...
This is the sword that I've carried with me for years.
I bestow it to you.
Thank you for the sword, Regent Prince.
You've returned.
Everyone is here?
- Fan Lu, how did it go? - Your Highness.
It's all going according to our plan.
There's already a rumor of plague coming from the army.
Their doctors are all at their wit's end.
Great General Qi Tian is really down on luck this time.
All of his soldiers have lost strength in their limbs.
They won't be able to set out to war anytime soon.
Cui Lin Jian was a new general promoted by He Xia.
Many veteran officials were displeased about him.
His death has already caused He Xia to suspect Qi Tian.
Now that Qi Tian can't set out to war as commanded
and yet can't find a valid reason
he will surely be doubted.
It's inexcusable.
We owe it to your crafty plan.
Particularly Miss Bai's drug.
Only a bit was dissolved in water and sprinkled on the linen bags.
That did the trick.
I'm really impressed.
I owe it to His Highness and the generals
for acting according to the circumstances.
Without your ideas, how could I come up with a plan?
Your Highness, it's about time to meet General Qi Tian.
Your Highness, take me with you.
I served in Yongtai Army once.
I will be more familiar with some things.
I might come in handy.
Are you really going there?
I really am.
My hands are itching so badly.
I feel really strange today.
My heart kept pounding so hard.
I think that if you must go, you have to be very careful.
Your heart is pounding hard?
That's a bad omen in the military.
What should I do?
Let me see if it's really pounding that hard.
You're so annoying!
I'm really worried about you!
Your Highness.
He Xia is a smart man.
We stirred up quite a commotion here.
I'm afraid that he will see through these tricks soon.
He Xia will soon suspect Qie Rou City.
We don't have much time left.
Apart from winning Yongtai Troop over
we'll need to gather new forces outside the city.
We'll keep to our original plan.
I'll stay in Qie Rou City to draw He Xia's attention
as soon as possible.
Before he takes down Qie Rou City, we'll round him up from behind.
You staying here wasn't in the original plan.
Ping Ting, you can't stay here.
Qie Rou should just be an empty city.
That was your plan.
However, mine has always been the one I just said.
He Xia is a very cautious man.
Once he notices that I'm not in the city, he won't fall for the trap so easily.
We're no match for Bai Lan's army when it comes to the number of soldiers.
Therefore...
I have to stay here.
Didn't we say that you will follow wherever I go?
If you're staying here, I'm not going anywhere.
This battle can only be won.
No defeat is allowed.
If we lose this battle
not only will blood flow in Qie Rou City
but the world will also end up in He Xia's hands.
The people won't be able to live in peace.
Even if we could drag out our lives in humiliation
our children and the generations to come will have to live in agony.
Moreover, Qie Rou won't be an empty city.
I'll keep 5,000 elite soldiers with me.
Should He Xia really break into the city, I can still escape unscathed.
Trust me.
This is the last time.
The last time.
Promise me that you'll stay alive and await my return.
