[Episode 60]
How alike are we?
You resemble her more than anyone could possibly imagine.
Your Highness has kept her on your mind all this time.
Is it because you can't have her?
The reason isn't important.
I simply can't get her off my mind.
Her silhouette is imprinted on my heart.
When I'm happy, I think of her.
She becomes a flower.
That makes me even happier.
When I'm upset...
I also think of her.
She then becomes a thorn.
She makes me... even more upset.
I never would have thought that someone like Your Highness
would miss someone from the bottom of your heart.
There's love and hatred between you and Muyun He Ge.
You should understand this theory better than I do.
When I miss Muyun He Ge, I don't think of him.
I think of myself.
Whenever it might be, I'll never forget what I want.
That person you resemble...
She wants the true love of one man.
Don't you want that?
That person...
She made me realize how ridiculous it is to covet true love from one man.
What is the palace like? What are the times like now?
She would still dare to bare her heart to someone?
That person...
When she even had that thought... she already lost.
Well said.
She lost a long time ago.
Fine!
I'll agree to it.
I'll take you to Muyun He Ge.
I'll tell him what you want me to say.
Whether he believes me or not, I can't guarantee that.
I can guarantee that he will.
He Ge is going to Han Prefecture.
He's seeking his doom.
You know about this?
I do.
If you can convince him not to go
I think that the empress would be very grateful to you.
That person is already defeated.
What is she going to repay me with?
I simply can't understand.
Why would you place your bets on a man who is going to die soon?
Your Highness... you rarely lose in gambling?
You've never gambled until you were left with almost nothing?
Never have you thought of winning all your money back in one round?
Fine.
I'd like to see...
how you make your comeback.
Your Highness, the auspicious hour for starting the banquet has passed.
Have any carriages pulled up outside?
If there were any, the page boys would come and inform me.
I understand it all too well.
I'm just a bit naive, so I wanted to give it a try.
I wanted to see if all hearts could be so cold.
When I was in power, I always treated those officials well.
Now that I'm leaving
not even one of them came to see me off.
I will see myself off properly, then.
Start the banquet!
Your Highness.
Your Highness, why don't we wait a little while longer?
Perhaps the roads are crowded.
They will all be here.
Your Highness.
- Nanku Yue Li has been-- - Uncle!
Are you here to attend the banquet, Uncle?
I'm also a sinned subject.
It's better for Your Highness that I don't attend it.
You're right.
Uncle, if so...
don't stay here to see what a laughing stock I am.
It seems that someone wants us to leave.
Prince He Ge.
Do you still keep Yue Li on your mind?
I've been waiting for Your Highness.
Since that day in the Astrology Chamber...
so many years have passed.
Time flies.
People change just as quickly.
Nanku Qi attempted to kill the emperor for the throne!
Hence, all men from the nine branches of the Nanku family will be executed!
All female members of the household are forfeited as prostitutes!
Teenagers under the age of 12 are sent as slaves to Ning Prefecture!
You despise me for being listed as lowly?
Leave now.
Can't you see that I'm busy?
Who hurt you?
I did.
In order to remain chaste for Your Highness...
this was the best way.
I'm not here to ask anything of Your Highness.
I just wish for Your Highness to know...
whatever predicament you might be in
there's always someone who keeps you on her mind.
With all her heart...
she just wants to see Your Highness.
Now that her wish has come true...
from now on, she'll be too ashamed to see Your Highness.
I, Yue Li...
bid you farewell.
Nanku Yue Li!
Do you know that if two people who are about to drown hold on to each other
they will only die faster?
I'm not someone who is waiting to drown.
Prince He Ge.
Your banquet...
They will attend it.
It seems that you're going to lose your last bet as well.
Sir, this way, please.
Sure.
Prince He Ge promised to negotiate in Han Prefecture.
- It's a perilous territory. - Not yet...
It's too dangerous.
Exactly.
- Your Highness. - Your Highness.
Prince He Ge is so selfless
that he's willing to venture to a dangerous place.
We're very impressed.
We rushed here to see him off.
Didn't His Highness invite you?
What do you think?
After you.
Gentlemen, this way, please.
- After you. - After you.
Your Highness!
Master Xue?
We're all here to see you off!
Your Highness!
You're venturing into a perilous territory!
It's very dangerous!
This is such a feast!
How wonderful.
What have you been doing?
Nothing much.
Once Muyun He Ge collaborates with Xue Huo
we'll have another strong opponent.
He Ge is headstrong and reckless.
We need not fear him.
It might not be so.
If you were Xue Huo
would you prefer someone who obeys you
or someone who can't be manipulated?
I understand.
As long as we can keep Muyun He Ge in Han Prefecture
and prevent him from coming back
Father won't have to be worried.
That's for the best.
If His Majesty's son gets into some sort of an accident in Han Prefecture
I think that... however good Muru Shuo is with his words
he can't shrug off the responsibility.
I'll get that done now.
Master, he's here.
Quickly.
Help me get down.
My dear friend, seeing you is just as good as seeing goldlings.
The goldlings aren't that easy to attain this time.
However hard it might be, I wish to have your goldlings.
I'm so happy to have known you.
When you return to Han Prefecture
pass on a message to Suoda Meng for me.
It shall all turn out as you wish.
Congratulations.
From now on, someone will have you nicely fed.
Who are you?
Longge Kun.
You're the slave hunter!
I refuse to become a slave!
You can have some first.
I remember you said that you like hare thighs.
If you eat hare thighs, you'll grow up to run fast.
You remember?
I do.
I remember it all.
I've never been so happy.
I also remember...
my Jin Zhu Hai killed herself because of you.
You wounded my Yan Shuang.
You'll get over them.
One day...
I'll make you forget them.
Why don't you understand?
No matter how much you love them...
they can never assist you in becoming a mighty man.
Only me.
Only I can help you.
What else am I to do...
to get you to fall for me?
I'll never forgive you.
Shuofeng He Ye...
He will never fall for Helan Tie Duo.
Never say never.
Shuofeng He Ye.
Do you even like me at all?
I pity you.
The ashes are still warm.
There's one more out here.
You ask me where I'm going?
I don't know either.
Someone who has lost all hope...
Where else can she go?
If we win this battle against the Muru Cavalry
what's the first thing that you wish to do?
Cross the sea. Take down Tian Qi City.
How can I say that I have lost all hope?
As long as I'm alive...
how can I not have anything to hope for?
Thank you.
I know where I should go.
Buddy.
We'll look for a ship.
I know where you can find a ship.
Don't bother. I know as well.
Suoda Meng is my friend.
Don't follow me.
What's your name?
Every arrow hits its target.
This is a curse from God Pandar.
All lives of prey taken by arrows in Han Prefecture
shall use their hatred as our eyes of darkness.
Did you hear that?
Suqin Hong Yun...
Every arrow shall hit its target.
Your crossbow archers...
They shall become archers of God.
The Suqin Clan shall succeed in our mission.
But you will die.
Iron Wielder has pondered carefully over the strategies of this battle.
We will surely win.
In order for our people to live on even lusher lands
we can't die in battle.
We're only returning to the embrace of God Pandar.
It's Iron Wielder who found the closest place to God Pandar for us.
Good.
Shuofeng Su He!
Give blessings to our warriors!
Let them be received by God Pandar!
As you've instructed, the rations have been distributed.
How long will that last us?
Your Lordship.
Three days.
That will be enough.
Victory is attained in the blink of an eye.
You're really going to throw in all of our rations?
You'll send in all of our strongest men?
This strategy leaves us no way out.
Do you know why I made camp out here in a desert where birds won't even come?
Our people relied on trading for years.
We've stopped grazing animals.
Even without the pastures, it makes no difference but--
But what?
I'm reminding myself.
This is what Han Prefecture really is like.
The green pastures of Han Prefecture are only in the center of Northern Plains
and it's just a small area near Gloomy Sea.
Out of 12 months in a year
you only get to see that bit of green for 3 months.
God Pandar truly favors us.
He knows that we have the ability to survive here.
Therefore, he gave us the most barren area in Novoland.
The eight clans of Han Prefecture even managed to live in such a place
for hundreds of years.
He Ye, take a look.
The real Han Prefecture...
There's no grass.
Nor soil.
Nor life.
It seems like a stretch of land from afar.
But when you have it in your hands...
it's just sand.
When it's windy, it's up in the air.
It wants to bury us all.
I refuse to accept this!
In this lifetime of mine
I must lead you and your descendants
to live on that lush land of East Continent.
I'd escape God Pandar's holy temple even if he took me there!
I was right about you.
The royal court of East Continent is left only with one blade, Muru Shuo.
Once we break this one last blade...
nothing will ever hold us back again.
Moreover... even this one last blade is made blunt
by the people of East Continent!
They will suffer a terrible defeat.
I can't wait!
Great General, we must act swiftly!
Galloping Wind horses can go even faster!
What if Helan Tie Yue already found out that we're heading there?
He's either on the run...
or he's set a trap for us to fall into.
If we gallop at full speed and attack upon arrival
we'll only have one last ounce of strength left.
The worst would be to judge the situation incorrectly.
Father, it's Han Jiang you actually favor the most?
Think of some other useful matters!
I'm just thinking...
If I were Muru Han Jiang...
what would I do?
What are you going to do?
Han Jiang doesn't consider too much.
He puts more thoughts into actions.
If he wants an answer, he'd know after doing it.
Muru Han Shan!
If I don't make it back safely
Father will then know that our enemies are already prepared.
Come with me!
Muru Han Shan...
Be careful.
If you don't make it back...
I'll punish you for making your own decisions.
Inform me before you take any action.
Certainly.
After all, your trump card does have the surname of Muru.
How can you guarantee that he would commit treason?
Father, you still don't trust me?
Since His Majesty already ordered Han Jiang
to take the post of a palace guard
once he enters the palace, I'll have a way to make him...
But you now have him locked up at Novoland Inn.
Should anyone find out about this
we won't be able to shirk all responsibilities.
Therefore, it's the perfect time for Father to return to Wan Prefecture.
Even if anything goes wrong
Novoland Inn is my asset.
I definitely have to bear the consequences for it.
Right now, the Muru family's subordinates are everywhere in the city.
Once he leaves Novoland Inn
someone will surely send him into the palace.
It won't take too long.
Therefore, Father will have to speed up on your way home.
The sooner you get home, the sooner you can get ready.
When I next return to Tian Qi City
Novoland will still be Novoland.
This city will still be the same city.
However, the people inside this city...
They won't be the same people anymore.
I bid Father farewell.
May Father be safe along the way.
You must be very careful.
Father, please rest assured that I'll hold on to my dear life
to offer my future assistance to Father.
