[Episode 49]
General.
Before I take down Yanlin City, I have a small request to make.
You still have a request?
Here.
Speak your mind.
Although it isn't difficult to take down Yanlin City
should any mishap occur and reinforcements need to be sent
please send my second uncle to lead reinforcements to me.
That's simple.
I'll agree to it.
Thank you, General.
Please remember what my father said.
You mustn't drink anymore.
Moreover, be sure to take precautions against He Xia.
Don't worry, my nephew.
I still have that level of awareness.
This time, you must take down Yanlin City
and make the Gui family proud!
Yes!
Uncle, I'll be going now.
Be very cautious.
Report!
Commander-in-chief! Help!
Commander-in-chief!
Our army has been ambushed by Chu Mo Ran's army outside Yanlin City!
We're in a critical situation!
Commander-in-chief, please send reinforcements!
General.
Large quantities of military provisions were supplied
near the border of Liang and Jin
and that must have boosted their morale greatly.
Otherwise, Jin State couldn't possibly defeat us with so few men.
Send reinforcements right away! General Gui!
Where is Gui Chang Ning?
Report!
General Gui is drunk.
We can't wake him up at all.
- What? - He got drunk at such a time?
This is outrageous.
- Is this even the time for that? - I can't spare him!
Report!
General, I was too late.
When I arrived, the army of Jin State had already retreated.
Cloud Army was wiped out.
General Gui Yan was killed on the battlefield.
Yan!
Soldiers and generals.
Have you wondered why we're out on conquests?
Why are we launching war on all sides?
This is because we no longer wish Bai Lan to be humiliated!
Have you forgotten how Jin State insulted us then?
How long are we to recuperate and conserve our energy?
If the army is weak, the people become feeble.
Our people are easily bullied!
Therefore, those of you who wish to be a zealous man, follow me!
Conquer and expand!
However, just when Bai Lan State is getting back on our feet
a despicable jerk like him appeared.
He uses his authority to misbehave and hinder military operations.
He has cost us the entire Cloud Army!
Will Bai Lan State tolerate such a harmful insect?
We can't tolerate him!
Today, I, He Xia, must let everyone in the world know that
in my army, from generals to soldiers, everyone is treated equally.
Rewards are given as well as punishments.
Gui Chang Ning!
He hindered military operations!
Showed no regard to military law!
Kill without mercy!
- Kill without mercy! - Kill without mercy!
Spare me, Commander-in-chief!
Commander-in-chief, spare me!
Drink! Here, here.
Let me drink another toast to you.
- Pretty good! - Good!
- Good!
Everyone who is present today is an old friend of Jiaoyan Casino.
I believe that you should all know our rules very well.
Today is the last auction held here in Jiaoyan Casino.
Thank you for coming all the way here.
Every item that is up for auction in Jiaoyan Casino
is worth making a trip to bid for it.
We just don't know what rare treasure
that Lady Thirteen has for the last auction.
- Exactly! - What is the item?
Show us!
Anyone there?
Present!
Isn't the auction already over?
What have they come to purchase?
Master Dong, the auction is indeed over.
It's just that Lady Thirteen... She...
What about Lady Thirteen? Speak!
Today, she still has one last item to sell.
One last item?
What is it?
The last item is...
I really don't know if I should tell you.
The last precious treasure is definitely one of a kind.
As long as the gentlemen here today...
What would you have us gentlemen do?
Lady Thirteen only invited the few of us over today.
You must already know our backgrounds.
- Exactly. - Speak your mind.
What exactly is this last treasure?
Exactly! What is it?
Tell us! What treasure is it?
- Don't keep us hanging! - Tell us!
- What is it?
It's...
Lady Thirteen!
Master Dong says that...
I, Lady Thirteen of Yan, am the treasure.
This is...
Is this serious?
Did I hear her correctly?
- Great! - Wonderful!
- Great! - Great!
How is it, gentlemen?
Are you interested in the item for this auction?
Yes!
- Definitely! - Yes!
Lady Thirteen, are you really going to have yourself sold as an auction item?
Why not?
I am also just a common woman.
I just wish to find a man of my dreams.
Sure! I'll be the man of your dreams!
Tell us! How much is the opening price?
Yes! How much is it?
Tell us!
Tell us! How much is it?
How much is it?
All right, all right now.
Tonight, we'll change the rules around a bit.
Sure!
Lady Thirteen, tell us! How do the rules change?
Exactly! How do the rules change?
You'll write down your bids on pieces of paper.
What do you think about that?
- Good! - Good!
- Sure! - That's a good idea!
- Not bad. - Not bad.
Jiaoyan Casino is after all a place
where sophisticated people meet.
The gentlemen I've invited over today are also very well educated.
Since it is so, after you write down your bids
why don't you write a poem for me on the back of the paper?
If the poem is to my liking, wouldn't that be wonderful?
- Sure! - Sure!
Young Master Zhang, 800 gold taels!
- Great! - Good!
"Much grass covers the fields and dewdrops hang from them."
"I met a beautiful lady, elegant and lively."
- Good! Good poem! - Good poem!
Good!
Young Master Meng bids 1,000 gold taels!
- 1,000 taels? - 1,000 taels?
His poem is
"A rare beauty in the north. The finest lady on earth."
"A glance from her, the city falls."
"A second glance leaves the empire in ruins."
Good!
Good poem!
Lady Thirteen! There's another bidder!
There's another bidder!
There's another bidder?
Another?
Lady Thirteen.
Young Master Dong bid.
Master Dong bids 100,000 gold taels.
How much?
100,000 taels!
Gold taels?
How generous!
His poem reads
"I'm not in the mood to appreciate the night."
"Yet I can't bear to see the moon descend."
Great!
What a good poem!
Lady Thirteen.
What is it?
You can't bear to let me go?
You acted too willfully today.
Willful?
The master of Jiaoyan Casino told me to find a spouse.
I was just following your orders.
Don't treat your marriage as a joke.
Tell them to leave.
So what if I treat it as a joke?
So what if I don't?
100,000 gold taels...
Master Dong is so generous to me.
It seems that I could only marry you to repay your kindness.
Quit fooling around.
I don't care if you still keep that woman on your mind.
Don't be scared and don't turn me down.
I know what it is you want.
I won't ask you for anything.
I won't cling to you.
You should know...
I'm sorry.
Thirteen.
I can never be with you.
Don't say another word.
I'm just too obsessed with you.
Pour more wine!
I'm going to open it now!
Stop drinking.
Young Master.
This is pretty good.
Wine is fine as well.
Lady Thirteen, why are you drinking out here alone?
Exactly.
Where is that sugar daddy who bid 100,000 gold taels for you?
That's right. Where is that sugar daddy?
Let's drink together.
Drink more!
If you don't mind...
The 1,000 gold taels I bid still counts!
It still counts.
It's nice to drink together
but could I get a kiss on your lips as well?
Master Dong.
[Plum]
Waiter.
Master Dong.
Where did all this wine come from?
Master Dong, this is plum wine from Baili Plum Woods of Pine Mountain.
Baili Plum Woods?
That place is very cold and dry.
How could there be any plum trees?
Master Dong might not know about it.
The lands at the foot of Pine Mountain used to be barren
but two years ago, someone dug a well and excavated canals
just to plant plum trees.
That's how Baili Plum Woods came about.
Two years ago?
Do you know who planted those plum trees?
Who made this plum wine?
Master Dong, I don't know that.
All I know is that Jiaoyan Casino specially ordered a batch.
Your Highness.
Princess Consort made you two urns of wine for your birthday.
Your Highness, here they are.
Put the account book down first and finish your breakfast.
Here.
Those two toddlers stayed up very late again last night.
They won't wake up any time soon.
Here.
Ze Yin is out to collect the payment for the wine.
We seldom get to have a relaxing morning all to ourselves.
Indeed, we don't get to be so relaxed very often.
But then I miss that noisiness as well.
Ping Ting.
Do we really have to move away?
Ever since I became a mother, all I think of is Chang Xiao.
I can't put him in any danger.
I understand.
Chang Xiao means everything to you.
Just as Ze Qing is to me.
Ping Ting, after Ze Yin collects the last payment tomorrow
we'll put this matter on our agenda.
He's passed out from hunger.
- Bring him some honey water. - Yes.
- The water is here. - Here.
Here you go, sir.
Sir?
What exactly happened?
Who are you?
Where am I?
You passed out at our doorstep.
My saviors!
- Thank you for saving me! - Here, slowly.
Sir, what exactly happened?
Is there some sort of natural disaster again?
It's not a natural disaster! It's man-made!
Bai Lan's army is outrageous.
It burned down our village.
Anyone who could escape has fled.
The army of Bai Lan has killed and raided along the way.
They will soon arrive at Pine Mountain.
Miss Bai.
Take a look quickly.
Something's gone wrong.
- Here. - Thank you.
- Take it. - Thank you.
Be careful.
Here, have some.
Thank you.
Here you go.
Here, have some.
The bowls are here.
Here.
Yang Feng, before we leave, I have to meet the village chief.
We can't just leave like this.
If we're leaving, our village should leave with us.
I'll go with you.
All right.
Sir, may I ask you about a place?
Sure.
Do you know where the owner of the plum woods lives?
The owner of the plum woods?
The house is right ahead.
Just keep going down this road and you'll get there.
All right. Thank you.
Chang Xiao, come here!
Coming!
Look up!
Are you a bad person?
Do you know it's very dangerous to do that?
My father built this water mill.
My mother made it!
This water mill is exquisite.
Whoever built it must be very clever.
My mother is very clever!
All right, go home now.
- Your mother will be worried. - All right.
Chang Xiao, let's go home.
This is for you.
My mother says that we should always be grateful.
Villagers, take a rest in the house.
- Sure! - Sure!
Let's go inside the house.
Here, let's go inside!
Sure!
Sure, let's go inside.
Get some rest in the house.
Here. Come inside.
Sir, may I ask if this is the home of the plum woods' owner?
Who are you?
How did you know where we live?
Don't panic.
I harbor no ill intention.
I'm a merchant who is collecting wine for the army.
I happened to get a taste of your plum wine by chance.
I'd like to discuss a business deal with the owner.
Baili Plum Woods' wine is all sold out this year.
Sir, please leave.
Just a moment, please.
Could I meet the person who makes the plum wine?
I make the plum wine with my wife.
I'm the owner of the plum woods.
You can talk to me if you like.
Are you really the owner?
Definitely.
Why would I lie about it?
Forget it.
See yourself out.
Why have you barged in?
How about this?
I'd like to buy the plum woods.
I wonder if...
It's not for sale.
We never thought of selling the plum woods.
Leave now.
Is 100,000 taels enough?
It's enough to purchase 1,000 acres of rich farmland.
I told you that it's not for sale!
Are you going to leave or not?
You're still not leaving? You...
- A-Han! - Uncle A-Han!
I've acted recklessly. Do forgive me.
Come here.
Uncle A-Han, is that man a bad person?
Whether or not he is a bad person
you must remember to stay far away from him if you see him again.
Will you remember?
Chang Xiao, come here.
Brother A-Han.
Yang Feng.
Have you seen the children?
They are playing in the plum woods.
Those two little ones are having such great fun.
Miss Bai.
Brother A-Han, what's wrong?
A handsome and well-dressed man who is skilled in martial arts came by.
He said that he's a wine merchant
and came to discuss business with Madam.
But I don't think that he's a wine merchant at all.
He was also acting quite strangely as well.
So...
Acting strangely? Skilled in martial arts?
Could it be He Xia?
I'm going to bring the children home first.
Yes.
Chang Xiao!
Ze Qing!
Chang Xiao!
Ze Qing!
Chang Xiao! Ze Qing!
Chang Xiao!
- Auntie! - Mother!
Come here!
- Auntie! - Ze Qing!
- Mother! - Chang Xiao!
Naughty little boys. Where did you run off to?
Let's go. Come home with me.
Let's go.
Here.
[Prime Minister's Manor]
Quickly.
Hurry up.
Let's go!
There's more over there.
- Hold on to this. - Coming!
All right.
Here, put them down.
Quickly!
Master.
Almost everything is loaded.
- We can leave now. - All right.
Take our family members with you first.
I need to make a trip to the palace.
Master, this is...
He Xia targeted Second Master because of you.
Once he gets back to Yun-An City...
If you don't leave now...
This...
Isn't that sending yourself to your doom?
The former king entrusted the princess to me.
I regard Her Highness as my daughter.
If I leave, Her Highness would be left without any aide.
Master.
Her Highness is grown up now.
She doesn't need this old bag of bones anymore.
When she was little, she used to snuggle in my arms when she was frightened.
She was so clingy.
Leave now. Take everyone with you.
- Leave! Now! - Yes.
No one gets to leave!
Get down on your knees!
Get down! Quickly!
Kneel!
