Episode Fifty-eight
This time, I came here
for some personal stuff.
You don't need to worry about it.
I have done eating.
I'm leaving now.
Yuwen Yue.
You and I will definitely meet at the battle.
It's unavoidable.
By that time,
you don't need to worry about me.
I...
Xing'er.
Objectively Speaking,
if we meet each other at the battle
in the future,
will you chop off my head?
I will never kill you,
but I will try my best
to defeat you.
Will you?
But I can't do it.
Life in this world
is like a place full of thorns.
The heart is motionless
and thus one does not act rashly.
Being motionless therefore does no harm.
If heart moves and thus one will act rashly,
which will hurt the body and make the bone pain,
and suffer all the pains in the world.
Won't it hurt if it doesn't move?
Then I have already been impaled by the thorns.
Hasn't Yuwen Yue come back?
Not yet.
No, it's too dangerous here.
We must send someone
to pick them up.
By the way,
is the information you brought correct?
My brother will lead the troops, will he?
The message is reliable.
Seventh Brother has discussed with Yuwen Yue
to negotiate the peace.
There must be some reason that he is leading the troops to here.
Are you saying that Yuwen Yue went to the Xiuli Mount
to meet Chu?
Yes.
The spies of Xiuli Mount
just reported the message.
It's correct and accurate
That is him.
Report.
Your highness.
The seventh Prince of Wei State, Yuan Che,
has been leading the troops
to the border of Meilin.
What do they want?
Your highness. I have got one word
which I don't know it's proper or not to tell you.
Cut the crap.
Lord Chu
has some preconceived ideas about me now
and she has some heart
grumbles about you.
There are somethings you have to guard against.
She won't
But are you sure that Yuwen Yue
doesn't have such intention?
What do you want to say?
Your highness.
We can kill Yuwen Yue
with this chance
Since he wants to come here
he shall never leave
He made lots of
our men die recently
Now he's deep in our Yan
trying to gain intelligence
His goal is easy to be seen
With his management the Meilin Strategic Pass
has gathered enough grains
and military forces
all kinds of weapons
Even the prince of Wei
leads troops to help him
If the situation continues
we will be in danger
Your highness, I know he and you
were friends
But you must neglect all your emotions
on the battlefield
Each decision
and hesitation
will lead to
the death of
hundreds of men in Yan
So I hope
you could consider the bigger picture
Announce my order
Gather the strongest guards of Yan
Ambush and kill Yuwen Yue
Yes
Stop
Brother
Why do you take your troops here?
I got a secret letter from Yuwen Yue
Said not only did Yan Xun refuse to make peace
but also he is preparing for
another attack to Wei
Really?
He wrote it himself
Couldn't be wrong
Brother, what he wrote in letter
is still not confirmed yet
If you move the army recklessly
people will die
and making peace will become daydream
It can not delay any more
I need to enter the city now
Brother, you can't
Get away
You move or not?
No way
Step away
Your highness
Follow me to the city now
Stop, all of you
I am the King of Yan titled by the majesty himself
and also the thirteenth prince of Wei
You want to attack my fief
What for?
Brother, I am attacking
the rebel Yan Xun
He forcibly occupies Yan
and refused the kindness to make peace
If we still remain no reaction
where is our stateliness?
Brother
His rebel is reasonable
If we lay low
admit our mistake and the loyalty of Yan family
and then negotiate for peace
If he does not agree
you can lead the troops to
attack them by then
Brother
Why do you keep defending
that rebel?
Have you turned into fool
after staying here all this time?
Do you still remember?
You are one of Yuan family
This rebel almost rushed into
Chang'an
Dozens of thousands of civilians
were just about to be slaughtered
Even Yuan Qi
died in Hongchuan with honor
Have you forgotten all of these?
Never could I
Then at Jiuyou
weren't there innocent people of
family Yan died
Weren't there
innocent civilians slaughtered
on the land of Yan
You feel extremely sad
for the death of your brother
So do the civilians
So does Yan Xun
Ridiculous
How can lives of rebels
be compared with live of our royal family?
All the lives are equally valuable!
Brother
after I lost this arm
did I realize
how painful
how desperate
those disabled are
Do you know how many people will
become disabled or lose their life after a war?
Brother
I'm begging you
Please retreat
If you are stubborn to stop me
the horses behind you
will step on you to move ahead
It's OK
If that can take away
your decision to kill into Yan
relieve the civilians of Hongchuan
from war and battles
I am willing to be stepped on
If that time
our father did not suspect Lord Dingbei
did not slaughter the civilians and their family
how could it end up like this?
It was our father to blame
Why everyone of you
Ignore it?
I won't let
such mistake continue
and make the whole population suffer for the result
If you determine to enter the city
step on
my body first
Master, likely to be ambush
Aim at Yuwen Yue
(Sound of fight and screaming)
Follow me
They ran
Yes
We left a way out for purpose
Yuwen Yue s extremely familiar
with the geography around
And they only have a few people
Easy to move
Lost their trace as soon as they went into woods
The prince has taken his men to chase them
Go back to the city now
Send someone to Xiuli Mountain
Say that the Xiuli Army has connection to the enemies
Need to catch Chu Qiao back to Hongchuan to investigate
General
If the highness knows
he won't forgive you
My life worth nothing
If the army of Wei comes one day
our highness will be killed by Yuwen Yue
Making peace
is all daydreaming
One who achieves
must not be influences by emotions
He will never made the decision to attack Wei
if Chu Qiao is still alive
We must let him know
Chu Qiao is not on his side
And inform Zhou An
He can do
what I told him
Let him die without worry
Yan won't forget his merit
I'm gonna see
after Yuwen Yue knows it
will he leave Yan
at ease?
Master
We caught him around here
He said he wanted to see you
Something important to tell you
General Yuwen
I am the subordinate of Minister Chu
General of Xiuli Army, Zhou An
She ordered me here
to tell you some words
Isn't the General of Xiuli Army
He Xiao?
General He is now died in the battle
I take his position now
Our Minister said
your trace has been found out
No matter what you are doing
please leave as soon as possible
Men of Heiying Army
are hanging out all around the mountain
You can't rush out
She leaves a way out for you
on Mountain Yao
If you believe her
leave here from that direction
The main troops of the highness
is about to arrive
You won't
have the chance if you don't leave soon
What happened to your Minister?
And
why did General He Xiao die?
She only ordered me
to say what I have said
I can't tell you anything else
You said all of these
But none of them are actually clear
How can we believe you?
Behave, do not trick on us
The highness knows that you came to Yan
and that you met with
the Minister
He wanted her to kill you
She refused
Sent people to stop the troop of Cheng Yuan
from killing you
They fought with the Army Heiying
General, please leave instantly
Or our men of Xiuli Army
sacrificed in vain
And General He Xiao
will die for nothing
Where is she now?
When I left
they still fought with Heiying
Don't know where she is now
I have said what I was told
But I said too much
That's not her will
Shame to see her again
General, please leave now
If god bless
you both safe this time
I hope that
you will never come to see her again
or take her away
Don't leave her
at this situation any more
Master
We cannot believe his words
What's in our intelligence
yesterday?
Heiying separates into three troops
Moving forward to the center of Yan
on the direction of Xiuli Mountain
They set obstacles
through all the towns along the way
from Hongchuan to Xiuli Mountain
The self organized soldiers set off
They move frequently
But that means nothing
Likely that Yan Xun
did on purpose
to lure us step into his trap ourselves
If Yan Xun planed all of these
and this man can find us
then so does Yan Xun
He can just take his men here
Why bother trick me there?
Maybe
Maybe someone else
wants to kill you
on the name of Yan Xun
Yeah
Maybe it is the subordinate of
Zhao Kuang at MeIlin
They always
hate you
Maybe they follow us all the way
to Yan
Then tell our location to Yan
It also might be Yan Xun's men.
That Cheng Yuan.
It also might be
someone from Chang'an City.
Yes, Young Master.
There are lots of questionable points.
I find it suspicious too.
What if it is true?
In all likelihood, it is false.
In addition,
it should be a set-up
to make us fall into the trap.
What about the tiny chance of it to be true?
It happened because of me.
I have to see her to feel relieved.
Young Master.
Master Chu,a letter from Hongchuan City.
It says that we have secret communication with the head of enemy troops
and reveal confidential martial information.
They command that Master Chu
you come back to Hongchuan City and be questioned.
Does the order come from Yan Xun?
No written instructions, just oral ones.
Who sent this letter?
It is said to be a man from Black Eagle Army.
But I know this guy.
He is Cheng Yuan's man.
Tie him up.
Take twenty or so men
and go to Hongchuan City with me.
Yes.
Your Royal Highness Yu,
don't be too worried.
You have tried your best.
Any news from Yuwen Yue?
What about my elder brother?
Our information is limited.
But we are sure that
the army of His Royal Highness Xiang
set up a base camp
fifty miles away
from Meilin Border.
My guess is that
if Young Master Yue doesn't come back,
he must lead the troops to sweep Yanbei.
I am incompetent.
The war really can't go on.
With the barbarians invading from the north
and the threat of the Liang State,
the Wei State is falling apart.
We are back in those
turbulent days.
People are suffering.
This is all my fault.
Your Highness,
don't worry.
Young Master Yue is sure to come back.
He will find a way out.
I can only count on him.
Master, what's wrong?
Something is wrong.
What is wrong?
Yan Xun is crazy.
His aim is not me at all.
It is Yuwen Yue.
What should we do now?
Let's split up.
You lead Xiuli Army
to the direction of Meilin Border.
We'll meet there.
Okay.
Everyone, follow me.
Yan Xun.
Do you have any idea what you are doing?
What do you think?
Where is Yuwen Yue?
I killed him.
Why did you kill him?
As an official of the Wei State,
he sneaked into
the heart of Yanbei.
What's wrong with my
killing him?
Chu, in your heart,
all Yanbei and me add together
can't compared with Yuwen Yue alone?
You can kill him.
You can kill him on battlefield
open and aboveboard.
However, how can you use me,
use his feelings for me.
He and I have agreed before
that each of us would spare no mercy on battlefield.
Chu,
as the king of Yanbei,
I am obliged to do some things.
Do you know that
everything I did is for you.
Killing my comrades and my troops
forcing me to abandon our dream,
expelling me from the center,
suspecting me and using me,
distrusting me and spying on me,
are all these good for me?
I just want to protect you.
These are your so-called protection.
Chu,
I just want to ask you.
In all these years,
did you ever love me?
I don't know whether my feeling for you
is love or not.
I only know that
I cared for you.
I couldn't stand people hurting you.
I regarded your dream as mine.
I regarded your home
as mine.
Your standpoint, your safety,
your gain and loss,
have always been the most important things
in my heart for these years.
My biggest dream is to
come back to Yanbei
with you.
To see you return to your homeland safely
and get what you wanted.
I lost my families
and my memories.
All these years,
you are most important person to me.
Your are the meaning of my existence.
But I am not sure now.
Is everything I have done
worth it?
Do I really know who you are?
Yan Xun.
From the moment you came back to Yanbei on,
you started to be suspicious
of Miss Yu,
of Mr.Wu,
of me.
You are suspicious of every person
that might be your threat.
You have become a slave
of power.
Your revenge, your hatred
is born because of your
selfish motives.
Yan Xun.
I don't blame you for killing Yuwen Yue.
I just loathe your
shabby trick.
You should not tread on
my loyalness to you.
You should not tread on
my feelings for you.
Now, as you wish,
I am going to find Yuwen Yue.
This is my last warning.
If Yuwen Yue dies in Yanbei,
I will never forgive you.
Get out of the way.
No!
Fine.
You are late.
Go and save Young Master.
He is at the Icy Lake.
Master, you go first.
I will take care of them.
Take care, Master.
Run.
Yuwen Yue.
- Yuwen Yue. - Xing'er.
I'm here.
You need to go.
Quick.
No.
I'm not going anywhere.
Xing'er. Listen to me.
I'm so sorry.
I will never leave you again.
Hold on.
You have to hold on.
Hold on.
Get up.
Get up. Yuwen Yue.
Get up.
Get up. Yuwen Yue.
Get up.
Leave. Leave here.
Leave.
No.
No. No. No.
No.
I won't.
Wake up. Yuwen Yue.
Chu, you said that I have changed.
Actually, I haven't changed at all.
But you never understand
what I really wanted.
But right now,
I have to tell you
about my faith and my ambition
with this way.
Your highness. The ice is too fragile
for sending more persons on it.
Wait for me.
No.
Yuwen Yue.
Stay alive.
Stay with me.
I want you to stay alive
with me.
