Episode Fifty-five
If you are reasonable people,
you should know
this ensign is the most shameful thing
for the troop of Xiuli.
Cheng Yuan.
You better
give the ensign back to me.
You better not challenge
my bottom line.
(Sound of cutting the ensign)
(Laughing)
Kill them.
Your Highness.
What's the matter?
What did Mister Wu wrong?
Why was he arrested?
Wu Daoya?
Yes.
He disturbed the morale
and hindered the troop to collect forage.
Isn't this a felony?
However, the city of Lan experienced a sever flood this year.
The food
was the only one left for the people there.
He never asked for my permission.
He made the people rebel.
How can I still keep him around?
Your Highness,
Mister Wu made a great contribution to Yanbei.
He is a close friend to the late Duke.
When Your Highness' entire family were killed,
those rich lords in the Wei State all wanted to
conquer Yanbei.
It was Mister Wu who
protected Yanbei.
Your Highness was imprisoned in Chang'an.
It was Mister Wu who made the plan to save you.
He set up Xianyang Chamber of Commerce
to collect money for Yanbei.
If not for him,
Yanbei is already ruined.
Your Highness.
These were what Wu Daoya did.
Your Highness.
I hope you can forgive him this time.
The late Duke
would be disappointed
if you kill his close friend.
Take him out of Yanbei.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Only this once.
No exception.
Yes, sir.
Your Highness.
They are rebels now.
Your Highness.
The troop of Xiuli betrayed us again.
I brought your decreed
to their camp
and told them to go to
defend Xiuli Mountain.
They were very arrogant
and didn't follow your order.
They saw they wanted to see Chu Qiao.
They said they only obey Chu Qiao's order.
I reasoned with them that
Your Highness are the Duke of Yanbei.
Since they are part of the army of Yanbei,
they ought to obey Your Highness' order.
Even Chu Qiao
needs to obey Your Highness' order.
They fought with us.
I have arrested
all of them.
Your Highness, how should we punish them?
I wanted to give them a chance,
but they pushed their luck.
Kill them all.
Yes, sir.
Miss. Miss.
Miss.
A lady handed me
a letter.
She said it was from
a Young Master.
Here it is.
Xing'er, the troop of Xiuli is in trouble.
You need to go and save them right now.
Miss.
What's the matter?
You are quite an impressive troop indeed.
Are you plotting a rebellion again?
Your Highness.
We are not rebels.
The reason why we offended General Cheng
is that we wanted to protect the ensign.
I hope General Cheng can forgive us.
I can't.
When you
betrayed Yanbei,
the troop of Xiuli
no longer existed.
Why do you still need the ensign?
Nowadays,
You fought against
His Highness' personal guards
for this useless cloth.
If you are not punished,
the military law in Yanbei will be impeached.
Your Highness,
it was not like
what General Cheng said.
It was more complicated than that.
I hope Your Highness don't rush to a decision.
This is my order.
Everyone who fought with
the troop of Black Eagle
is punished by death.
Anyone disobeys my order
will also be punished by death.
Your Highness.
If Your Highness needs to punish someone,
just punish me alone.
How about this?
Chief He.
You made a contribution to Yanbei.
You are not like
these traitors.
Your Highness.
I know
the troop of Xiuli
made a huge mistake before.
However, we participated in the battle of Chang'an,
and the battle of Hongchuan.
We have proven
our loyalty.
There is no doubt about our loyalty.
Your Highness.
Why are you still this suspicious
about us?
How dare you.
You are just a Commander in Chief.
How could you talk to His Highness this way?
You didn't teach your soldiers properly.
His Highness didn't punish you for this.
Now you even offend His Highness.
How dare you.
Your Highness. If you punish them,
aren't you afraid to
lose our loyalty?
aren't you afraid to lose the loyalty of the people?
Bring him down.
General.
Your Highness.
Even the soldiers who surrounded
have a place here,
why are you still this suspicious
about us?
If Your Highness wants to kill them,
Your Highness,
I disagree.
See.
Aren't you rebels?
Stop.
He Xiao.
I only punish those who
betrayed me today.
It has nothing to do with
others in the troop of Xiuli.
I suggest you don't
get yourself involved.
Otherwise,
I will punish you
because you disturb the morale.
We are not rebels.
We were only protecting the ensign.
Your Highness,
I can reassure you with my own life
everyone here
is not traitor.
It was Cheng Yuan who challgened our bottom line.
We would never act like that.
The military decreed must be obeyed.
I don't any explanation.
I only want the result.
If everyone has an excuse,
how am I supposed to lead this army?
Your Highness.
(Sound of riding a horse)
Here is my order.
Everyone who fought with
the troop of Black Eagle
is punished by death.
Anyone who disagrees
is also punished by death.
Your Highness.
Stop.
Miss Chu.
(Sound of slapping)
Are you training your soldiers like this?
The ensign and the name of troop
is the life and honour of soldiers.
As long as the ensign stands, the troop
is not defeated.
I did order you
to protect the ensign and the name of troop.
Did you tell you to fight with
our own people?
You not only don't admit your mistake,
but also offend
His Highness.
What are you doing?
Yes, madam.
I am wrong.
I did not
restrict them following the law
How can you never learn to be flexible?
Your highness
What happened today is all my fault
I ordered them to do that
He Xiao and the others
were just following order
I am not well recently
Did not regulate their behaviors
so that lead to
such a huge mistake
I am willing to be punished by military rules
If I remember correctly
you have no actual position in the army
Since when does the Xiuli Army
follow your order?
Shut up
I am talking with the highness
Who the hell are you to interrupt?
Your highness
Xiuli army did not behave
They ought to be punished
But I was the general guarding Hongchuan then
I am their direct commander
They dare not to disobey my order
Please
punish me for not restrict their behaviors
And thinking of their merit
guarding Hongchuan with their life
decrease their punishment
I would like to be responsible
for all their mistakes
Xiuli Army
Is there any Xiuli Army now?
Their title
has been eliminated
Our Yan should not allow betrayers to live
The return of Xiuli Army
is a promise made by the highness
This is the king of our Yan
Always keeps his words
What's passed
is passed
You still call them
betrayers
Do you want to insult
the honor of the highness?
Your words show your evil intentions
I feel like you are the spy of Wei
Sharp mouth
you have, Miss Chu
The military flag and title
are the honor of the whole troop
The Xiuli Army was established
by the old Lord from zero
How can they so simply be removed?
General He led the troop
followed the highness all the way
from Chang'an to Yan
They have survived numerous battles
and made incredible achievement
At the gate of Hongchuan
they pushed back the attack of Wei so many times
and killed Yuan Qi
An army like this
How can you so recklessly cancel their title
and tear their military flag!
Our highness is busy with affairs
Must be someone stupid and evil
arousing conflicts and misunderstandings
trying to separate the military force of Yan
Shameless and evil. People doing this deserve to die
You are framing me
Cheng Yuan
One more step
I will make you pay with my life
You asshole
I will kill you
Take him down
Dare to put out your sword in front of the highness
Is this your so-called loyalty?
Let me go
A'chu
Who called you here?
No one
I come here myself
Go back
It is not your responsibility here
The responsibility of Yan is of mine
I am a member of the army
and the general of Xiuli Army
I should be responsible for the mistakes of my men
Do you know what you are doing?
I know it clearly
You want to be against with me?
That's too over it
I am just
taking the responsibility for my troop
Your troop?
Minister Chu is removed from her position for sickness
She's not the general of Xiuli Army for long
The crime Xiuli Army made
is not the fault of anyone else
Start the penalty
Your highness
Get up, Minister Chu
Do not
do anything more for us
Go back
They should not be punished with death for what they did
They follows you all this way
Their loyalty can be seen and proved even by god
A'chu
Think of it
Who does the Xiuli Army
actually follow now?
I can vow with my life
The whole soldiers in Xiuli
are completely loyal to you
If they ever intend to
betray or rebel for just a moment
I
would like to be shot to death by the arrows
Die with no complete body
You are willing to vow with your life?
Yes, I am
Then except for you
who else are willing to vow for them?
No one here except for you
believe them, the Xiuli Army
Please take back your order
Go back, Minister Chu
We should take the punishment for what we did
I, Wu Danyu, do not dare the death earlier before
Your highness
Start
No
No, Yan Xun
No
He Xiao did not limit the behaviors of his soldiers
Take him down. Flog him eighty times
She must be heartbroken
I guess
But she is strong
She just left firmly riding on a horse
Master, if you feel sorry for her
why not go help her?
If I show up
her situation
will be harder
Then you can take her leave
She may not want to go with me
Why?
She is so unhappy there
Yeah
So unhappy
Why doesn't she leave?
A'chu
Have you slept?
You've been back for such a long time
We never have a chance to
sit down and have a talk
These days
I suddenly begin to miss
the days in Chang'an
How weird?
I hated the place
so much
Now I think of it
all the time
Recall our first met
when you used you life to
defend me at Jiuyou
when you kept me accompanied
in the prison
and Yingge Courtyard
A'chu
I'm sorry
I broke your heart
But I have no other choice
I swore to
give you the best
So I will give you Chang'an
and the whole world as present
Maybe this is not what you want
But it is the best that
I can give you
About Xiuli Army
it is my sincerest mercy to
let them leave
But they...
A'chu
The last thing I want to see is that
you get hurt
But I still let you hurt
But
everyone may be able to leave me
You can't
Everyone may want to betray me
You can't
A'chu, all I have is you
Yan Xun
Pity that you and I are no longer stepping on the same path
General
Doc said you cannot drink
after having the medicine
In the past
I can keep fight for two days
after getting a hole on my stomach
Now it's just a little skin trauma
can't drink wine?
Really is growing more fragile!
After she knew that
we set up the Xiuli Army
she ran back to
save those jackass
Luck is the highness is on our side
But from on
with this woman exists
we will be the fish on the board
waiting for her slaughtering
But the highness stopped her
from hurting our general
It means that
he is on our side
Not at all
If it wasn't the fact that he hate the Xiuli Army
will he stand for us?
A man can never escape the trick of woman
Few days later after they make it up
once she finds a chance
our death date is coming
Basically we are all on the same side
if we talk it through
may be it can be changed
Minister Chu
is not someone unreasonable
Right
Let's save these bullshit
looking upon others
and despising ourselves
What kind of minister is she?
A women should just
stay at home giving birth to a baby
instead of hanging out
involving in fighting and killing
How noble
our highness is!
How can he fall for
such a woman?
Watch your words
If the highness hear it
you will be the first one
he wants to kill
I won't long live anyway
So what?
Death is not scaring
I will be able to
meet big brother Sun He
in the hell
Shut up
Get out. All of you
Your highness
Get up
Thank you, your highness
Cheng Yuan
I may stand on your side today
but
that does not mean
I know nothing about
what you did
I warn you again
The conflict between me and A'chu
is our
own business
Do not lay hand in it any more
Do you understand?
Yes
Go to rest
Your highness
Do you know how the soldiers
in the camp say about you?
They said you ignored the bigger picture
fora woman
sent the land right by your hand to
the others
Sooner or later
you will repeat the mistake of the old lord
You will suffer to die
I never am happy when I'm alive
Why care about suffering to die?
For all the lives in the world I hope
the war can be ended soon
I have suggested to my father
Father
I've made
lots of mistakes in my life
If you think stopping the war
is the best choice
do it
Yes
My father has agreed about it
As for Yan
hope you make more effort on it
That's all about this
Another thing I want to tell you is that
for what Yuan Chun did
she may not be able to remitted from death penalty
But I still regard her as my little sister
Cannot watch her die
Princess, those people
who come from the palaces are at our door.
It's rude of you
not to prostrate in front of me.
I was born in the imperial household.
Therefore, I should die with dignity.
My maid has
nothing to do with this.
After I die,
don't make it hot for her.
Princess.
Caiwei.
Please survive.
Leave!
Princess.
Let's go, Princess.
Leave.
Hurry up.
Let's go. There's not enough time, Princess.
Let's go.
Go.
Why did you save me?
Why did you guys
save me time after time?
It is I who should die.
Anyone who got involved with me
came to no good end.
Don't you know that?
Chun'er.
How are you?
When did you get shot?
Don't bother about me.
Wait here.
Don't move.
I will get you a doctor.
Chun'er.
Don't. Listen to me.
I am afraid that
I can't escort you myself.
Those housecarls
are loyal
to me.
They will accompany you
in the remaining journey.
Don't say that.
You cannot die.
Listen.
Wait here.
I will get you a doctor.
Listen to me, Chun'er.
This place is not far fron the dock.
I have arranged for a ship.
You can go with them later.
As long as you get on that ship,
you are able to
escape.
You understand?
I don't want to.
Why should I leave?
Chun'er.
I beg you.
Listen to me just once, OK?
Just... just once.
Why should I listen to you?
Who are you?
Why should I listen to you?
Whether I die or not
doesn't have anything to do with you.
It does!
Don't cry.
You know it.
I can't bear to see you cry.
You are most beautiful when you smile.
Will you smile for me, for once?
I will be content to die.
Will you?
You cannot die.
You cannot die, Wei Shuye.
You cannot die.
You must survive, Wei Shuye.
You cannot die. Do you hear me?
Listen to me,
I have always liked you since I was young.
At that time,
I was too timid.
I didn't have the courage to show my affection to you.
If I had said it sooner,
if I had been braver,
you and me,
we would have been better than this.
Chun'er.
Today I finally
get the chance to
tell you courageously
that I love you.
Promise me
to live...
live well.
Wei Shuye.
Why do you do this to me?
Why is that people who loved me
left me one by one.
Why?
Kill them.
Sinner Yuan Chun
and Wei Shuye were desperate,
and drown themselves in the river.
They were dead.
Do you understand?
This...
Do you understand?
Yes.
Go.
Your Highness,
you have stayed here
for a while.
What...
what is wrong with you?
The headache again?
Are you alright?
I often had headaches
since the war of Hongchuan City.
Your Highness,
it may be a serious illness.
You'd better see a doctor.
It doesn't matter.
It's said that the later you treat your illness,
the harder you recover.
Illness needs to be treated early.
There happens to
be a female doctor who is highly skilled
in southern suburbs.
She is very capable, and her pills work like a charm.
I am going to bring her here.
Don't bother.
Maybe some other time.
Where is Chu?
I don't know.
I haven't seen her these days.
She should be in the house.
I haven't seen her for several days.
I don't know if she is
still mad at me.
Your Highness,
I am reluctant to
tell you but I think
Miss Chu may be mad at you
for longer this time.
Well, I am going to
send for the doctor.
In my opinion, General Cheng
just wants them dead.
What scouting?
He tricks them
into the woods to kill them.
That's right.
Since they are not loyal to His Highness,
what's the point of keeping them alive.
Shut up!
Don't shoot off your mouth.
Master Chu.
Master Jiang.
Why is there
no trace of Xiuli Army in the camp?
Where is He Xiao.
Master Chu is not
the commander of Xiuli Army anynore.
So I shouldn't
disclose this information.
Do you think
you can always hide it from me?
Let them sit down.
Sit...
Sit down.
I ask you again.
Where is Xiuli Army?
He...
He Xiao took them out.
Out?
Why?
The sightings of enemy troops were reported near the Icy Lake.
General Cheng Yuan commanded
Xiuli Army to fight outside the city.
General.
I have arranged for
what you told me to do.
She believed it?
Yes.
She tried to catch up with the Xiuli Army.
Well done.
When they arrive at the Icy Lake,
we'll use those people from the border of Meilin
to get rid of them.
General.
There is one thing I don't understand.
You don't understand
why I did it, right?
Surly I know the disagreements
between General and Chu Qiao.
It's just...
It's just that His Highness likes her a lot.
Will we enrage
His Highness by doing this?
I don't care
whether he will be enraged.
With her around,
His Highness can't
revenge for those injustice deaths in Yanbei.
Why is that?
As a commander,
Chu Qiao is not suitable for Yanbei.
She can only
wear down his keenness,
stop him from domineering the world.
As a woman,
her heart
is not with His Highness.
What if he knows?
Whatever.
The worst thing is death.
As long as we get rid of Chu Qiao,
His Highness
will step on the right track.
I understand.
You can leave first.
Yes.
Master Chu is here.
Master Chu. Master Chu. Master Chu
Are you Okay?
Yes.
We are sent to patrol in here.
Why are you here?
I...
I am worried about you.
It seems that I misunderstood.
About what?
I am worried that you would be ambushed.
Right.
We are really ambushed.
I didn't expect
that I would meet you here.
Are you all right?
Who are you asking?
Are you asking me?
I'm good. I'm very good.
I'm a good eater and sleeper.
And I have made great progress on the martial art.
Really? Congratulations!
Yue Qi.
Go and find Meng Feng back.
There are many traps for animals.
Don't let her get injured.
Young Master.
Meng Feng is just like an animal.
Rather than worrying about her,
you should worry about
whether I would be taken by the wolf
on the way of sending the message.
Fine.
Xing'er.
I'm leaving.
It's your people
who provoked us at the border
to lead me come to here.
This place has precipitous terrain.
It seems like someone led us
to come here on purpose
to take your life.
