Episode Forty-one
Brother Yanxun.
I'm not forcing you anymore.
Please don't do this.
I'm not marrying you.
You can just go and tell my father
that I'm not marrying you.
You just go and admit you mistake to my father.
Brother Yanxun.
Please don't do something stupid.
In that case,
my father will really kill you.
Brother Yanxun.
Yanxun.
You are a lunatic.
You are really going so far as to rebel.
I really wasted my time
to treat you as my brother for these years.
Brother, you took it wrong.
Brother Yanxun is not going to rebel.
He just wanted to...
want to present a protest to father.
Chun'er.
The one who stands in front of you
is not your Brother Yanxun
anymore.
He is a traitor of conspiring against the state.
It's not true, brother.
It's not as what you think.
He just don't want to marry Chun'er.
He is taking revenge.
Taking...
Taking revenge?
You can just ask him in person.
Brother Yanxun.
It's not true, isn't it?
You are not taking revenge, aren't you?
You just want to reason things out with my father,
don't you?
You just don't want to marry Chun'er,
do you?
I want to go back to Yanbei.
It has nothing to do with you.
But when you get married with Chun'er,
my father will allow you
to go back to Yanbei.
Chun'er.
Your father has already arranged a large number of troops
at the Imperial Ancestral Temple
to get my head.
So today, no matter I rebelled or not,
I can't attend
this big wedding.
Because he had never planned
to marry you to me.
And I had never planned to marry you.
You are the animal who bite the hand that feeded you.
What are you talking about?
There's no kindheartedness and justice between Wei State and Yanbei.
It's not true.
It's not true. Brother Yanxun.
It couldn't be true.
How could it happen?
It's not true.
My father has treated you as his own son.
He has not only let you inherit the Duke Dingbei,
but also has married you
his beloved daughter.
But how about you?
You have just rebelled against your country and killed the civilians.
You should be killed for your wolfish nature.
The blood on the Jiuyou Platform has not coagulated yet.
The bone on the Mountain Xiuli has not rotted yet.
The whole family of Duke Dingbei has been wiped out.
The bodies of Yanbei clan have been parted from the heads.
Yuan Song.
You father had killed my whole family
and slaughtered my people.
This is your kindheartedness and justice.
Duke Dingbei had conspired against the state.
It's my father's right to lead troops to fight with the enemy.
It's enough.
Considering our old relationship,
I will let you go today.
You just go back and tell your father
the animosity of extermination of the entire family
will be imposed to him sooner or later.
Tell him to be alive
and don't die too early.
You just go back.
Chu.
You are going to be my enemy, aren't you?
I have never planned to be your enemy.
I will never forget your kindness
of protecting me for three years.
Fine.
Come back with me.
I will intercede for you and protect you.
Don't conspire against the state with Yanxun.
However,
I am going to
be the enemy of the Wei State.
Yuan Song, I'm afraid
that I would never get the chance to repay what I owed you.
Great.
I'm the one who was blind.
Today, I, Yuan Song,
make a clean break with you two.
When we meet again in the future,
we will not be friends
but enemies.
Chun'er.
Come with me.
Why is this happening?
Brother Yanxun.
I know it's all my fault.
I know I have made mistake.
I really couldn't do anything at all
when the things happened at the Jiuyou Platform at that time.
I really couldn't
stay with you.
Brother Yanxun, I'm begging you.
Please don't rise in rebellion, okay?
I don't want it.
I want nothing anymore.
I don't want to marry you.
I just want you to be alive.
Even if you are not with me,
I just want to
see you alive.
I really do, Brother Yanxun.
Chun'er.
Yuan Chun.
You are the princess.
Brother Yanxun.
I'm begging you.
Please don't do this.
Chun'er.
I have blood feud with your father.
I can't bear your deep love.
Brother Yanxun.
Please don't.
Your highness.
The four camps have already known it
and are assembling the troops.
Time is running out, let's go.
How about the others?
The others are fighting with the imperial guards
at the east gate.
They can't hold it much longer.
Chu, you just get out of the city first
to defend the floating bridge and arrange the river crossing.
How about you?
I will be there soon.
Okay, I will wait for you.
Your highness.
Are we going to the east gate right now?
Don't be rush.
Yuwen Yue has defended the imperial palace
as impermeable.
The Wei State's constitution has not been greatly injured.
The reason we won this time
is the Emperor of Wei
has been taken by surprise.
The chance like this
will never come up again.
So what do you mean, your highness?
I am going to give the Shang Wu Tang a bloodbath.
So the Emperor of Wei will have no general to use
in the ten years.
And I want the children from the power family of Wei State
to spill blood for return.
Young Master, where are we going?
Yanxun will necessarily go to Shang Wu Tang.
He is going to kill
all the students in there.
Those men
are the foundation to build Wei State.
Yue Qi.
This is the tiger-shaped tally given by the emperor.
You just take it
to assemble forces in the nearest camp.
Yes.
I just knew you would come here.
You are the only one could figure it out.
Do you hate here so much
that you just want to destory it in person?
I don't hate this place.
I just want to cut the weeds and dig up the roots.
This is the place we met each other
for the first time.
I can remember it.
I had a fight with Zhao Xifeng
that day.
And you won.
I can remember
what you said at that time.
A brother for one day...
will be a brother forever.
I, Yuwen Yue,
had never done anything
to disserve my brother.
I have made clear
what happened three years ago.
You had helped me
so I owed you.
So today,
I will let them go
to reward the kindness of protection
I owed you three years ago.
Yuwen Yue.
When we meet again in the future, we will be enemies.
There is no mercy at the battleground.
Report, the troops of Xiaoqi Camp
are coming from the behind.
Your highness.
You are leading the troop to leave through the east gate.
I will bring up the rear for you.
You should take care.
Everyone needs to converge at the east gate
when the clearance signal is received.
Okay.
The troop of Xiuli, come with me
to cover for the evacuation of the prince.
Yes.
Chu.
Miss Yu.
The prince is coming soon.
There is only one floating bridge here.
And it takes time to cross the river.
There are so many soldiers of Xiuli,
could they cross the river before it gets dark?
This is all arranged by the prince,
it should be fine.
Your highness.
The soldiers of Xiuli who guarded here
all died in battle.
We have to get out of the city as soon as possible.
Since you have got off safely,
I will go
and summon He Xiao immediately.
It's not necessary.
The troops of the four camps
have been dispatched out.
The troop of Xiuli has devoted them bravely
to defend the military prowess of Yanbei
and has become the role models of all soldiers.
Pass my order
that the entire army will retreat through the east gate
and block off the gate after evacuation.
- Yes. - Retreat.
East Gate
Commander.
Why hasn't the price order
us to retreat yet?
The troop of Yuwen Huai
is coming soon.
We can't hold on for long time.
The number of the soldiers of Yuwen Huai is 10 times than us.
There is no chance to win.
Let's just go to the east gate to break out
and catch up the prince.
Retreat.
Open the gate.
The gate can't be opened.
Commander.
Our brothers who guarded the gate
have all die in the battle.
The prince has run away.
What did I say?
We have been abandoned.
It's not going to happen. It's not going to happen.
Even if the price has abandoned us,
Coach Chu will not lie to us.
Don't be so naive.
We have been betrayed.
He had said that
we would go back home decently.
He was just lying.
Why are you putting on the long faces?
Didn't you just shout out all day
that you want to risk your lives?
What? When it really comes,
are you all scared?
What are you yelling?
Who is scared?
Yeah, why are you shouting?
Now, like me,
You are just a normal solider.
If you yell again, I will beat you.
Brothers.
Because of us,
the Duke's family died.
This is what
we owed
the Yan Household.
From now on, we are no longer in their debt.
Even if we will die,
we have had wonderful days.
Guys.
Let's fight
with all our strength.
Let's show them
we are not traitors.
We are not cowards.
Come on.
Let's go back to the Mountain of Xiuli together.
(Sound of riding horses)
Yan Xun, where is the troop of Xiuli?
They are on their way.
Aren't we supposed to wait for them?
They will catch up with us.
Let's go now.
Let's go.
(Sound of shooting arrows)
(Sound of soldiers walking)
Chu. Where are you going?
We promised the troop of Xiuli
we would bring them back to Yanbei.
We need to keep our words.
I have never promised
to bring them back to Yanbei.
They are all traitors.
They need to be punished.
You go first.
I shall bring them to catch up with you.
(Sound of riding horse)
A Chu.
(Sound of riding horse)
Array.
Shoot.
Shield.
(Sound of shooting)
Attack.
- Attack. - Attack.
(Sound of fighting)
(Laughing)
Don't be afraid.
We are going to heaven together.
Wait for me.
(Yelling)
(Sound of fighting)
You traitors.
How dare you.
Shoot.
The troop of Xiuli
is not defeated yet.
Array.
Protect the ensign.
(Sound of falling down and struggling)
(Sound of cutting the rope)
(Sound of the Gate opening)
(Sound of riding horse)
(Intense background music)
Soldiers from Yanbei.
You are not deserted by Yanbei.
Follow my order.
I am going to bring you home.
Go home. Go home. Go home.
Go home. Go home.
He Xiao.
I am here.
Retreat now.
Coach Chu,
we are going back with you.
None of you is going out here alive today.
The troop of Xiuli.
Yes, sir.
Be strong.
The reason why you can survive until today
is all because of me.
(Sound of pulling out the sword)
Fine. I am repaying you
right now.
(Sound of fighting)
The Chief is dead. The army of the Wei State is defeated.
(Cheering)
(Intense background music)
The way forward is very narrow and hard to go through.
Be careful.
I have some new info.
Your Royal Highness, something horrible happened.
General Wei Shuye sent someone to inform us that
Prince Yan Xun plotted a rebellion.
He escaped on the day of wedding,
out of Chang'an.
Gneeral Wei is leading troops
to catch him.
Where is General Wei?
No idea.
When General Cheng left,
General Wei already passed through Lv County.
Your Royal Highness Xiang, according to the Crown Prince…
Tie You.
From now on,
my Vice General shall take responsibility to protect the Crown Prince.
Yes, sir.
Your Royal Highness Xiang. Your Royal Highness.
Your Highness.
We have waited for five days.
We need to leave now.
Your Highness.
We have delayed for days.
We have hided our track well
all the way here.
However, if we remain here,
it is only a matter of time before the army of the Wei State catches up.
That's right.
Your Highness. Chu is leading the troop of Xiuli
in Chang'an
to stall the enemy as long as possible.
She is buying us time to escape.
We can't let her down.
(Sighs)
I am just worried that
when Chu arrives,
she will be disappointed if she doesn't see me
waiting for her.
Your Highness.
You are leading the only remaining soldiers
loyal to Yanbei.
Yet you chose to stay in this place of danger
only because you are afraid that
when Miss Chu arrives,
she will be disappointed if she doesn't see you.
You are too…
Do you have a problem with that?
I abandoned the Xiuli Army
She must be angry with me
I just want to wait for her myself
When she comes
maybe she will forgive me
Prince, the successful
should throw away emotions...
Prince
One more night
We must leave tomorrow morning
no matter she
comes or not
I believe she will
be back to Yan safely
Brother Yan Xun
I am already your bride
No matter where you go
I will find you
(Screaming)
The enemy is stepping closer
Give the order
Wait
Head Chu
Just a while
If we don't move now
we will miss
our best chance for ambush
He Xiao, believe me
One minute
The enemy has entered the valley
What are we waiting for?
Till they...
Move
Xiuli Army,
kill!
Kill
(Sound of fight)
Miss
Our tenth ambush ends well
Our enemy did not chase us
Okay, let our brothers withdraw
Yes
Head Chu, stepping back at this time
Our soldiers are at the highest spirit now
Shouldn't we pursue the retreating enemy?
Leaving at this time
Are't we throwing away our best chance?
Right
We are now enjoying the fight
A chance to revenge
How can we give it up?
I know what you are thinking
After all these days
your spirit has risen up to the peak
You keep winning
Some of you may think that
we should not
waste our chance
and give up the combat success right in front of us
But is that true？
Once the information of battle
in the Feng Cheng Valley was spread,
the majesty of Wei get angry
There will be a hundred times of
military forces chasing us
I believe, right now
the soldiers of Wei have returned
to kill us
But we have
run out of food and weapons
We don't have spare horses
food or medicine
How long can we keep
fueling war with warfare?
Once our conditions are found out
they will come for us
like crazy dogs
Even the fiercest lion
has to sleep
The safety of princce
has been ensured
What you have done
is the pride of
the whole Yan
It's enough
We are all tired
We should go back to Yan
Your family needs you
We don't have any family now
Right
The prince have abandoned us
We are traitors of Wei
as well as betrayers of Yan
Where can we go?
I'd rather die in the war field
and end my life with honor
Yeah
Die in the war! End with honor!
Do not believe those ridiculous
rumors!
But the prince did not take us with him
He locked the gate
Left us here
We all saw it
with our eyes
He did not abandon you
He sent me to save you
He sent you alone
Yes
Just me alone
But I did it
I saved you
This is the fact
Undoubted fact
I am telling you
Do not hesitate any more
You risked your lives
to protect your home
The whole Yan will remember your loyalty
Please come back with me
He Xiao will follow your step
We will follow you
My rabbit tail
(Screaming)
Prince
