[Lost Love In Times]
[Episode 7]
The generals and soldiers have had a long journey.
You have all worked hard.
Why don't we look for a courier station along the way and get some rest
before we continue with the journey?
Your Highness, it's still early.
Why don't we hasten on with our journey to get to A-Chai Tribe sooner?
Report!
Why are you in such a panic? Speak!
Someone is following us but we don't know who they are.
We have yet to know if they are friends or foe.
Just as a precaution, should we send someone ahead
to A-Chai Tribe to seek assistance?
We must not alert them recklessly.
If it were A-Chai Tribe who sent those men to follow us
we must not make the purpose of our trip known to them.
If it isn't them...
We'll be in far more danger.
Let's not forget that Liang State won't be pleased to see us tie a marital bond.
This concerns a state affair.
Only benefits exist between states, not trust.
Ride ahead to A-Chai Tribe to check on them.
Play it by ear.
Yes, Your Highness!
Your Highness, the bird's nest congee you asked for is ready.
Bird's nest?
When did I ever ask for that?
Your Majesty should still have some?
After all, it's best not to starve on your way to death!
- Good! - Well done!
Attack!
- Good! - Well done!
Princess?
Mukesha.
It seems that you haven't had your fill of the fight yet.
I'll challenge you to a fight.
Sure! I won't go easy on you though.
I won't go easy on you either.
Bring it on!
- Fight! - Fight!
Report!
Your Highness, His Majesty has been assassinated.
- Bring me my horse! - Your Highness!
Mukesha, head back to the capital right away.
Check to see if there have been any suspicious people around.
Yes!
Stop right there!
Your Highness.
Yuan Ling and ten some of his Black Armor soldiers have entered Sunset Valley.
We did receive accurate information.
Good.
We'll kill Yuan Ling first before wiping out
the entire Black Armor Army's camp!
Yes!
Stop!
We've received a confidential report.
[Yuan Xi, Fifth Prince of Wei State] Liang State's army is ambushed here.
Now that the enemies are hidden while we're exposed...
Order our army to retreat from Pingxing County!
Prince Ling has given orders to have us
assist the Black Armor Army stationed in Pingxing County.
Prince Ling has given another command.
Do you remember it?
Should there be any uncertainty
we are to protect the Black Armor Army from being caught in a surprise raid.
Ling entrusted Black Armor Army to me.
I must ensure that I hand it back to him without any casualties.
If we continue to stay here
how am I to answer to Ling?
However, we have yet to know how Prince Ling is doing.
Without our assistance
how will he tackle the army of Liang State?
Yin Su!
Present.
Arrange for a team of elite Black Armor soldiers
to go undercover in Pingxing County.
On one hand, they could gather more information
and on the other hand, they can offer assistance.
Arrange some of the Black Armor soldiers to bring up the rear
to ensure that our entire army evacuates from Pingxing County safely.
In any emergency, I'll lead the army to Ling's rescue!
Yes!
We shall follow the orders of Prince Xi!
Qing Chen, you're awake?
How long was I passed out for?
It should be about an hour?
Qing Chen, are you feeling better?
I have to save Prince Ling.
Qing Chen, you can't even walk straight.
How can you save anyone?
Qing Chen, where are we going?
Pingxing County.
Mei Ya, go in quickly.
Go to General Wei and have him send reinforcements to Prince Ling quickly.
Qing Chen, don't panic.
Wait here for me.
Sorceress!
General Wei, the merchant who came to buy enslaved sorceresses from you
is actually the fourth prince of Great Wei, Prince Ling.
What did you say?
Prince Ling?
Prince Ling was ambushed by the enemies.
General, please send your men to go to his aid now!
Nonsense!
Why would Prince Ling put on a disguise?
My sisters and I have already escaped.
If it weren't to rescue Prince Ling
why would I come walking straight into your hands?
Where are Prince Ling and his men?
They are in Sunset Valley.
You must get there quickly!
Guards!
Arrest this young sorceress!
Keep a close watch on her. Don't let her get away!
Yes!
What are you doing?
- Get the horses and come with me! - Let go of me!
- Yes! - Let go of me!
Let go of me!
They are so well-informed of our whereabouts.
They have ambushed us in every possible location.
Could someone in the army have betrayed our whereabouts?
Our powers have recovered!
Your Highnessses, leave now!
Qing Chen!
Go to Prince Ling now and meet up with the girls.
We thank The Mages for your assistance.
The Black Armor Army shall always remember your kindness.
This is the rightful duty of The Mages.
Both of our tribes should be fighting against the same enemies
to protect Great Wei.
Not to mention that Your Highness had saved us.
It's only right to repay your kindness.
Haven't you lost your powers?
Miss Qing Chen broke the seal and unleashed our powers.
Why is she so powerful?
We were in a rush to get here so we didn't ask her for details.
Where is she now?
Perhaps... In Sunset Valley?
She is one of The Mages.
Could it be that none of you know who she really is?
We only met her when we were escorted to Pingxing County.
We've never seen her in our tribe before that.
Who else can break the seal apart from a dark sorceress?
I'm afraid only our Elders and the Grand Sorceress could.
However, the Grand Sorceress hasn't appeared for a century.
If she is the Grand Sorceress
why couldn't she wield other powers?
It might be a disguise?
Only by pretending not to wield other powers
could she make the others let their guard down.
If she had meant to harm us, why would she save us?
She's a dark sorceress and she wants us to die with Prince Ling?
Then...
Will Mei Ya be in danger?
Qing Chen, run!
Don't come here!
Don't move or I'll kill her!
- I dare you! - Qing Chen, let me be!
Run!
Qing Chen!
Mei Ya!
Mei Ya...
Qing Chen...
I... Am I...
Am I never going to see the other sisters again?
Am I...
Am I never going to return to the Meandering Skies?
You will...
You will, Mei Ya.
Qing Chen, I...
I'm in so much pain...
Mei Ya...
Qing Chen...
Mei Ya!
Mei Ya...
All of you are really here.
Guards! Arrest them!
Atrocious Wei Chang Zheng!
You should kneel immediately before Prince Ling!
You are Prince Ling?
Take a good look at it!
Could anyone impose as the chief commander of Black Armor Army?
Greetings to Prince Ling!
Please forgive me.
As the chief commander of Black Armor Army
you're stationed at the main camp.
I didn't expect you to put on a disguise to purchase enslaved sorceresses.
You didn't know. It's fine.
- Get up. - Thank you, your Highness.
As long as you promise me to set these sorceresses free
I can forgive your misdeeds.
It was these sorceresses who came to our rescue when we were attacked.
We owe our lives to them.
Should you lock them back in the dungeon
how could I and my fourth brother ever face them again?
Forgive me, Your Highness.
They are all sinned slaves of the imperial court.
I have duties to fulfill.
I can't allow them to escape under my watch.
This is also abiding by the laws of Great Wei.
They had fought alongside the Black Armor Army earlier on.
That's considered redeeming themselves.
Why can't you let them off?
Merits and misdeeds are not to be muddled.
I was ordered to guard these sinned slaves.
I don't have the right to pardon them.
You--
You mean that you must arrest them?
A country has its laws.
I hope that Your Highness won't put me in a tight spot.
Is there no room for negotiation at all?
The imperial decree must not be defied.
Take it.
I am buying all these girls.
The selling of slaves is stated in the regulations.
The Mages are demoted to enslaved rebels.
There must be many reasons behind it.
Out of the numerous political policies and regulations
many are not as well thought out.
Before we reform such policies
I can ensure you that they won't appear on our lands.
I've never met Prince Ling.
However, I've always been very impressed by Your Highness.
As long as things are done according to the books
these enslaved sorceresses will be handed over to Prince Ling.
The Mages shall never forget Prince Ling's great kindness!
We'll leave the city right away.
It's dangerous at the border.
Your Highness, please take care.
I'll send my men to escort Your Highness back to the camp!
Fire!
Black Armor Army...
Mei Ya...
I swear to you that your death will not go unavenged.
One day...
The Mages shall stand tall under the light once more.
Quickly!
At the moment, it's best to conceal my identity
to avoid any trouble on the way.
Take a look.
See if there are any survivors. Go!
What exactly happened?
How did it end up like this?
After Your Highness left the camp
Prince Xi commanded to withdraw the central forces out of the camp.
Black Armor Army is to remain stationed on the spot.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ji launched a surprise raid on us...
Comrade!
That Xiao Ji has this all planned out.
He intercepted us with a smaller troop
while he sent in his main forces to our camp!
It's just...
Why would Xi suddenly withdraw from the camp?
Have you seen that sorceress?
It was a very young sorceress who came to inform me.
She was arrested and locked up in the state bureau.
We mustn't linger around here.
Xiao Ji's army must still be close by.
Take your men back to Pingxing County.
I'll go looking for my comrades who broke the siege.
The situation is still uncertain. How can we leave Your Highness here?
Pingxing County is just as important!
Now that the enemy's army has invaded our lands, we must take precaution!
Should I get the opportunity some day
I'm willing to serve under Your Highness to fight against out enemies!
- Go now. - Yes!
Comrades, let's go!
Your Highness, Yuan Ling has survived.
He will surely get to the bottom of it all.
I've already made the arrangements.
All the generals who knew of this matter will be killed outside the camp.
Black Armor Army is trained personally by Yuan Ling.
Should they detect any slip-up
I'm afraid that they won't be willing to serve under my command.
Yin family will go all out to assist you in realizing great ambitions.
My mother has arranged for Zhan to seek marital bond with A-Chai Tribe.
She had me placed in the army to render meritorious services.
Mother is taking every step to seize the throne.
As the daughter of Yin family
she has made such a huge effort to
consolidate Yin family's influence in the imperial court.
Noble Consort did so for the sake of Prince Xi and Prince Zhan.
However...
I wonder what Mother truly has in mind.
Would it be me or my seventh brother who gets to take the throne?
Your fourth brother is truly outstanding.
Who knew that all the men that I've sent after him are killed?
I already informed you in advance.
Black Armor Army has also withdrawn from the camp.
However, the deal we agreed on has yet to be fulfilled!
Don't worry.
As long as he's in Pingxing County
it won't be hard to take him down.
How could he be that easy to tackle?
Since we didn't get to kill him this time...
We'll have to come up with other ways.
What other ways?
I'm a messenger of Great Wei.
Even if both states are at war, messengers are not to be killed.
What you're doing now is against the diplomatic relations.
Aren't you worried about being mocked by everyone?
Great Wei?
What a coincidence.
The assassin who attacked our emperor is also from Great Wei!
I've been informed and have been stalking you all this time.
Could you be snooping around in the city to go to the aid of that assassin?
Guards! Torment him even harder!
Since you've caught me, you should know who I am!
Prince Zhan is now at the courier station outside the city!
He's here to discuss an important issue with your emperor!
Prince Zhan?
Does it mean that Prince Zhan had plotted this assassination?
Since Prince Zhan is here to tie a marital bond
why would he resort to such a despicable means?
I'll go and meet this Prince Zhan.
The truth will then come out.
Let go of me! Let go of me!
Let go of me! Let go--
Father.
My dear daughter...
The imperial physician was here.
The injury poses no threat to your life now but
you should still be careful or it won't heal fully.
It's all right.
My daughter...
Has the assassin been arrested?
She knows the layout of the palace very well.
She had her escape route carefully planned as well.
Although we have sent out many of our men after her
she still got away.
However, judging by her martial arts skills and stances
it does seem that she was trained in the army of Wei State.
Even so, it doesn't seem like something their emperor would do at such a time.
You got that right.
I've just received a state letter a few days ago
from the emperor of Wei, Yuan An.
He's sent Prince Zhan over to A-Chai Tribe.
He is due to arrive anytime these days.
There's no reason for him to assassinate me.
That day when the female assassin spoke to me
she seemed to have let her Liang State accent slip out.
Although she tried hard to cover up her accent...
she still made a mistake.
I'm afraid that they are trying to use us to get rid of Prince Zhan
to drive a wedge between us and Wei State.
Then Liang State can benefit from it.
My dear, this is one extremely serious matter.
You must get to the bottom of this quickly.
Yes. I'll send someone to summon Mukesha over now.
Summon Mukesha here.
Your Highness, General Mukesha has just left the city.
Left the city?
Last night, General Mukesha captured a scout from Wei State.
He learned that the Seventh Prince of Wei is outside the city.
General assumed that...
He thought that the prince is involved with His Majesty's assassination.
- How foolish! - Father.
Why is General Mukesha still so reckless?
Father, fret not.
I'll bring him back right away.
Greetings to Your Highness.
Li Lin has been arrested and imprisoned in A-Chai Tribe's prison.
A-Chai Tribe...
- You may dismiss. - Yes!
Stop struggling!
Bi Yao, it's me. It's Qing Chen.
This is...
What are you doing here?
Release me now.
Hold on.
Why are you dressed in Liang State's military uniform?
I took this off a dead soldier.
I only wore it as a disguise.
I didn't expect it to cause such a misunderstanding.
By the way, where is Prince Ling?
He's fine.
He's on his way back to the camp now.
That's fortunate.
Where's Mei Ya?
Shouldn't she be with you?
Mei Ya...
When Mei Ya and I were heading toward Sunset Valley
she was killed by Liang State's soldiers.
What?
Mei Ya is dead?
How did you escape unscathed then?
You...
You doubt me?
Where have you buried her?
She now lies buried on the hill behind Sunset Valley.
We'll investigate Mei Ya's death.
Your identity is unknown and your actions suspicious!
We can't be sure of who you are.
You're on your own now.
Bi Yao, you--
Let's go!
Bi Yao! Bi Yao!
Have you forgotten that I saved you?
I broke the seal for you!
Bi Yao!
Prince Ling!
We've finally found you.
I knew that you'd be all right.
- This is just-- - Just too disappointing?
What?
Xiao Ji's subordinates are really getting worse now.
Her identity is exposed and yet she hasn't killed herself.
Xiao Ji?
Prince Ling thinks that I'm from Liang State?
You're already dressed in that so how are you not from Liang State?
This is a misunderstanding.
I only put this on to conceal my identity.
If I do work for Xiao Ji
why would I send my sisters of The Mages to assist Black Armor Army?
Why would I return to Pingxing County to get you reinforcements?
Your tribesmen didn't even know you before they got to Pingxing County.
The one who informed Wei Chang Zheng is called Mei Ya.
That young sorceress.
I sent her there.
Where is she?
Where is she now?
What about the evidence?
She was killed by Liang State's soldiers.
Even the only witness is dead.
Don't you find this too much of a coincidence?
Ling, should we kill her or keep her?
[Courier Station]
General, when should we head in to arrest him?
We've been watching them all night so I gathered that they didn't rest well.
This is the best time to strike.
Yuan Zhan of Great Wei is here to visit
the state leader of A-Chai State with a state letter.
May I ask which general is visiting?
General, if he is truly visiting with a state letter
and should we barge in right now, it might--
It might cause a conflict between two states.
Great Wei has sent their envoy but he hesitates to enter the city.
It seems that they are also trying to sound us out.
Whether the assassin is from Great Wei or not
we must demonstrate our national prestige at the first encounter.
I'll bring some men in and you'll keep watch out here.
I'll bear the consequences.
Search!
No one is in here.
None found.
No one is here.
- None here. - None found.
- No one is here. - None.
None.
There's no on here?
How is this possible?
I've been watching you from outside all night!
None of you left the premises!
How did you pull this off?
We dug tunnels overnight to guarantee a sure catch.
In order to lure you in, it took me much effort.
The people of Wei are indeed crafty.
Let me out and we'll have a fight!
Take good care of this general until A-Chai Tribe sends someone over.
Yes!
Let go of me!
There's an hour left.
The sand will then all seep through.
It seems that you don't have much time left.
Once this rock tumbles down
I'll be crushed into pulp.
Even if I'm not some gorgeous beauty
isn't it too ugly to die in such a way?
Could I opt for a different way to die?
Where is Xiao Ji's main military camp?
You assumed that I work for Xiao Ji just because of the uniform.
Judging from Prince Ling's intelligence, you shouldn't be so subjective.
Do you think that you know me so well?
If you can convince me, I'll set you free.
I had no choice but to change into this outfit to ensure my safety.
What about Mei Ya?
How was Mei Ya killed by the enemies?
After Mei Ya informed Wei Chang Zheng
she came with me to Sunset Valley to meet up with the other sorceresses.
However, we were ambushed by the remaining soldiers.
The spell to break the seal...
That's a secret spell handed down by the elders of The Mages.
Who are you?
Where do you come from?
I don't know Xiao Ji at all.
There's nothing I can do if you refuse to believe me.
Ling.
This woman might seem gentle and frail but she's actually very obstinate.
I'm afraid it will be hard to get the information we want out of her.
Instead of wasting more time, we might as well--
We've suffered a great loss in our men
after breaking through a line of besiegers.
If we don't take this chance to attack
Liang State's military camp and kill Xiao Ji
how am I to answer to our dead comrades?
Or...
Ling!
- Ling, are you all right? - I'm fine.
It must be the poison acting up in my wound.
We've run out of the medicinal herbs that we had on us.
It will be a while before we get back to our main camp.
I'd have to look for some medicinal herbs.
All right.
However, judging by your condition...
If I were to leave you alone with her--
Even in my current condition, I'm more than capable of handling her.
All right, I'll return very soon.
Go on.
Why don't we make a deal?
You're wounded.
I'm skilled in medical practice.
If you set me free, I'll treat your wound.
Since you're so scared to die
have you thought of how tragic it was
when my people died under the blades of Liang State's army?
When two states are at war, deaths are inevitable.
Those people of Great Wei who are robbed of their homes and families
could only settle down when the war is put to rest.
Is this your reason for serving Liang State?
When I'm dead, Your Highness can dig out my heart
to find that I'm nothing but loyal to Wei.
I really can't understand why you insist on seeing me as your enemy.
I'm afraid that Your Highness will regret killing a good person.
What's wrong?
Yuan Ling!
Yuan Ling! Yuan Ling!
