[Nirvana in Fire 2: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin] 3
[Episode 1] 4
[Prince Xiao Pingzhang, eldest son of the Prince of Chang Lin, Xiao Tingsheng, of the Liang Empire] 5
[Dong Qing, Chang Lin Army Deputy Commander Xiao; Pingzhang's personal guard] 6
Your Highness, the scout report came back. 7
There are no reinforcements coming from any direction. 8
We have been out of supplies for ten days already. 9
You insist on staying here to toil. 10
However, I fear once the enemy comes to attack again, 11
we will be hard-pressed to defend against them. 12
We still have a chance now. 13
I plead for Your Highness to withdraw our army from the Southern Gate. 14
With our Chang Lin Army banner, how can we fear and flee from battle? 15
Gan Province's defensive line is of great importance, of course, 16
but you are the heir to the Prince of Chang Lin's manor! 17
Should you meet with misfortune, the elderly Prince -- 18
Since my body is on the battlefield, 19
I am no different from others. 20
If things were to advance to that level in truth... 21
my royal father fortunately still has my second brother, Pingjing. 22
[Chang Lin Army] 23
[Three months prior] 24
Fifty-eight, fifty-nine... 25
Sixty, sixty-one... 26
Sixty-two, sixty-three... 27
Sixty-four. 28
Sixty-five. 29
Sixty-six. 30
Sixty-seven. 31
Sixty-eight, sixty-nine. 32
Seventy, seventy-one? 33
Old Master, bad news! Big Brother Pingjing has drowned! (T/N: relationship is "sect brother," not by blood) 34
Old Master, bad news! Big Brother Pingjing has drowned! 35
Big Brother Pingjing. 36
I'm the little Han Lake's "Divine Dragon." Could I drown so easily? 37
Big Brother Pingjing, did you find it? 38
Here, take a look. 39
By the way, Brother Pingjing, why did Old Master punish you to come and fetch the Han crystal rock from the lake today? 40
Did you do something wrong again? 41
What mistake could I have made? I only gave him a piece of advice with the best intentions. 42
I don't believe it. What good advice would you have? 43
[Prince Xiao Pingjing, Langya Court Disciple, second son of Xiao Tingsheng, the Prince of Chang Lin] 44
I told him to eat more radishes, 45
so that now when he stands up and he'll break wind. 46
[Langya Court, on Mount Langya] 47
Xiao Pingzhang, from Chang Lin Mansion. 48
Please come with me. 49
A few days ago, Your Highness sent someone to ask our court a question. 50
Here is the answer. 51
Old Court Master is truly willing 52
to just tell me directly an answer I dearly wish for? 53
Langya Court's business has always been to provide answers and help with solving concerns. 54
If we post a price, we will naturally provide the answer. 55
Whether it is to Your Highness or to others, it's all the same. 56
By your order, Court Master, I've already delivered to the young prince of Chang Lin the answer he wishes to have. 57
[Lin Jiu, Langya Court's Young Master] 58
I, as your disciple, do not understand. 59
Is it appropriate to tell him everything? 60
Since he has already started to ask questions, he will find out sooner or later. 61
Just that... 62
at this time... 63
At this time? 64
It can't be that he feels this northern border...? 65
So he took a detour on purpose to come here? 66
Appearance springs from the heart, [Lin Chen, Langya Court's Old Master] 67
but perception turns with the soul. 68
The battle at the northern border, 69
it is full of grim potential. 70
Go and summon that child named Pingjing. 71
Those two brothers have not seen each other in quite a while. 72
Yes. 73
As if punishing you to retrieve the crystal rock wasn't enough, you have to pick three heads off the star cactus as well? 74
Is the Old Master truly that angry? 75
On account of him being so elderly, 76
let's endure it. 77
That's the "return" call. 78
The Old Master is actually not angry anymore and summons me back. 79
Let's go. 80
Older Brother! 81
Older Brother! 82
I thought the Old Master was playing with me again, but you really came! 83
What's wrong? Does he usually always give you a hard time? 84
It's nothing. I always give him a hard time. 85
- Older Brother, how long will you be staying? I'm going to clean your room. - No need. 86
I'm leaving soon. 87
Didn't you just arrive? 88
Father made a judgment that there may be a war on the northern border soon. 89
So he ordered me to hurry to Ganzhou to secure the path of the Zuolu Army. (Zuolu - Left Path ) 90
I rode at full speed last night. 91
That's how I reduced half of the time necessary to reach Langya Hall. 92
Of course, I can't stay long. 93
Older Brother, you had a tough journey on the way here. Can't you even stay for a night? 94
Could it be that you rushed here to see me? 95
I don't know why either. 96
There are some words that I want to tell you personally before I leave for the northern border. 97
Older Brother, you want me to go back again? 98
Father has agreed that... 99
Father agreed to let you come to Mount Langya to learn skills. 100
It doesn't mean that you won't be going back 101
and can do whatever you want to do. 102
Pingjing, you will be twenty-one years old soon. 103
After another year, His Majesty will definitely remind Royal Father about your engagement again. 104
If you want to create a family, you must first have achievements in your career. 105
You can be unfettered for some time, but you cannot be like that for a lifetime. 106
In the future, the great responsibility of the Prince of Chang Lin's Mansion... 107
About the great responsibility of the Prince of Chang Lin's Mansion... 108
Older Brother, don't we still have you? 109
Chang Lin is a military mansion, 110
responsible for protecting the country. 111
I can't possibly always shoulder the responsibility on your behalf. 112
It's hard to tell whether I can keep doing this. 113
If I don't explain further, you will understand that as well. 114
Think carefully about this. 115
Once the northern border is stabilized, no matter what the circumstances are, you need to go back to Jinling. (T/N Modern-day city of Nanjing) 116
Older Brother! 117
Will the war situation on the northern border be very dangerous? 118
Of course, it won't be easy, 119
but Father and I have already done an overall analysis. There is a chance of victory. 120
My Big Brother has never lost. This definitely won't be an exception. 121
Right? 122
You are a smooth talker. It's useless to keep saying these words to me. 123
Once I'm free, don't even think of running away. 124
[Jinling City] 125
Summarizing all these military reports, 126
the movements of Great Yu on the northern border are indeed unusual. 127
What does Imperial Brother think? 128
To reply to His Majesty's question, 129
for the past several years, Great Yu has suffered successive droughts. 130
Add to this the infestations of locusts and the occurrence of hailstorms, 131
their harvests and domestic animal herds have dwindled. 132
Now they are gathering huge amounts of grains [ Xiao Tingsheng, Prince of Chang Lin of the Great Liang Empire ] 133
and storing them on the border. (T/N: Location says they are "military rations" 134
They obviously have intentions to attack us. [Emperor of Great Liang] 135
I think that we must make preparations now. [Xun Baishui, Senior Grand Secretary, head of the cabinet ] 136
May Your Majesty immediately order the transfer of the army on the western border to the north, 137
to become the reinforcements for the northern border troops. I will submit the detailed plans later. 138
Hope Your Majesty will allow it and confer to me the military seal to mobilize the troops. 139
Your Majesty. 140
What the old Prince said is indeed reasonable. But thinking about it more carefully, [Song Fu, Grand Secretary] 141
these signs are not that clear and are just guesses. 142
Moreover, Great Yu currently has internal and external strife, its government is very unstable. 143
Little movements may not really be worthy of being worried about. 144
The people of Great Yu have always been very cunning. 145
Military matters can't be evaluated using the usual parameters. The more the government is unstable and its citizens in turmoil, 146
the more it's possible they'll focus their resources on building their military power and have public sentiments shift the blame to others. 147
Grand Secretary Song, it can't be that you don't know this logic. 148
While the flames of war has not yet been lit, why must we hurry to use the military seal? 149
Since you already sent your heir to personally attend to the Northern Border Garrison, I'm sure that nothing bad will happen. 150
Shouldn't we first observe how this situation will progress? 151
The military situation is like a game of "go." 152
If you wait until after your opponent has placed his move before thinking of a countermeasure, 153
you will surely lose the advantage. 154
Even if that is the case, the armaments of the Chang Lin Army are more than enough. 155
- No need to immediately-- - My subjects, stop arguing. 156
Regarding the government and the military of the northern border, I trust Imperial Brother's judgment. 157
Issue the Commander's Seal. 158
Yes. 159
His Majesty's orders, bring the military seal here! 160
His Majesty's orders, bring the military seal here! 161
I will let you handle the safety of the northern border, Imperial Brother. 162
Thank you, Your Majesty. 163
[Jinling] 164
Before dispatching the troops, 165
the whole court was against the old Prince mobilizing the army. 166
But at that time, the Senior Grand Secretary didn't say a word. 167
What's the use of worrying? 168
As long as the Lord of Chang Lin opens his mouth, 169
whether it's justifiable or too far-fetched, 170
ultimately, His Majesty will still issue the military command to him. 171
Whether I say anything or not, does it matter? 172
Now that our Great Liang has enough national strength, 173
you think that the whole imperial court greatly opposing the army mobilization by the old prince 174
is just worrying about him making a fuss over a small issue, 175
and wasting our empire's human and food resources? 176
What we should be worried about is this habit of His Majesty's. 177
What is worrisome about the present situation 178
is not only the favoritism of His Majesty, 179
but will His Majesty really live a hundred years? 180
The Crown Prince is only ten years old. 181
As loyal servants, we help our ruler to prepare for the bad times. 182
With the Senior Grand Secretary being like this, always just sighing and speaking empty words, what's the use? 183
What do you mean? 184
You should know very well, 185
the task of mobilizing the army, 186
His Majesty has already issued the decree 187
to let me handle it. 188
The Prince of Chang Lin's reputation is magnificent. I believe that 189
Lord Song is helpless, too. 190
Big Brother! 191
Senior Brother, is there any news from the northern border? 192
If you want to know about the north, I have news of Northern Yan. 193
Do you want it? 194
You clearly know which region I'm asking about! 195
Although this pavilion is in the mortal world, it is also outside it. 196
When the people of Langya observe the matters in this world, it's like looking at the flowing water of a stream. 197
We all know that it will flow day and night, but we will also just let it flow day and night. 198
I know you are the best disciple of Old Master, 199
but don't learn from him and keep talking nonsense. 200
Old Master. 201
Datong Prefecture... [The three military ships of the Zuolu Army in Datong Prefecture accidentally sank.] 202
People's hearts are so deep. 203
Sometimes, you are unable to trust yourself. 204
Sometimes, you are unable to trust others. 205
Eventually, it will still come to this state. 206
Deliver this to your Senior Brother. 207
Yes. 208
Senior Brother Jiu. 209
Did anyone see this? 210
The Old Master. 211
What did he say? 212
Datong Prefecture. 213
The three military ships of the Zuolu Army in Datong Prefecture 214
accidentally sank? 215
Where is Datong Prefecture? 216
[Datong Prefecture] 217
Left of the river. 218
[Ganzhou] 219
Ganzhou. 220
Older Brother... 221
Release it. 222
Old Master. 223
- He left the mountain? - Yes. 224
This boy has always been unrestrained and carefree. 225
But if he has worries, will he still be carefree? 226
When did Pingjing leave the mountain? 227
He left just now. 228
Once he reaches there, frankly, he won't be able to do much either. 229
If Langya Court obtained this information, 230
Xiao Tingsheng would get the news even faster. 231
Speaking about military talent, 232
he has a bit of that person's style. 233
I believe his reaction will be that slow. 234
The crux of the matter 235
lies with Xiao Pingzhang now 236
and whether he can withstand until the end. 237
Your Highness! 238
[Prince of Chang Lin's Banner] 239

With the people of the Great Liang Empire behind me, 241
as the eldest son of Chang Lin, I won't retreat! 242
We will not retreat! We will not retreat! 243
Attack! 244
Attack! 245
[Ganzhou] 246
- Your Highness. - Speak. 247
The arrow is too close to his heart. 248
The arrow must be removed immediately, but we are afraid... 249
we do not know what will happen next. 250
I understand. 251
- I need two people here! - Okay. 252
Dong Qing? Dong Qing! 253
Second Young Master, what brings you here? 254
Where is my older brother? 255
The government residence. The Grand Prince is with him. 256
Royal Father? What is he doing here? 257
Dong Jing, what's wrong with my older brother? 258
Your Highness. 259
Hold on a bit longer. 260
Old Master Li of Ji Feng Hall should be here soon. 261
Your Highness! 262
Your Highness! 263
Your Highness, this is the Young Mistress of Ji Feng Hall, 264
- Miss Lin Xi. [Lin Xi, Doctor of Ji Feng Hall.] 265
Your Highness. 266
Your Highness, Old Master Li informed us that he will rush here 267
and should be here in the evening. 268
He will let Miss Lin handle this first. It can't be delayed. 269
He will arrive later. 270
Sister Ying, decoct three packets of medicine. Just pour water over it. 271
Prepare some water, fuxi powder, well salt, and henon bamboo juice. (T/N: Fuxi -medical remedy; henon - "giant grey bamboo") 272
Yes. 273
Sister Ying, apply acupuncture to stop the bleeding. 274
Yes. 275
Royal Father! 276
- Second Young Master. - Pingjing? 277
O-Older Brother... 278
Sister Ying, pull out the arrow. 279
Miss Lin. 280
Miss Lin, it's not that I don't trust you. 281
Pulling out the arrow will thrust it two inches further into his bone. 282
Although the arrow is very close to his heart, 283
it did not affect his heart and lungs. 284
It was only a few hairbreadths away. He is very lucky. 285
But this is just my judgment. No matter what, 286
the priority is to remove the arrow. 287
What's most dangerous is that when the arrow is being removed, it will cause massive blood loss. If this... 288
This won't do! My older brother is seriously wounded! 289
How can we let this mere girl handle it? 290
Aren't there any other real military physicians here? 291
Pingjing. 292
Miss Lin, 293
how long can he hang on? 294
His condition is currently stable, but he has lost a lot of blood. 295
Does Your Highness prefer to wait for my master before we start the surgery? 296
No need, I will follow your judgment. 297
Royal Father! 298
But this my older brother...! 299
Even if this is not perfectly safe, we must not be rash... 300
How is it? 301
Why aren't you saying anything? My older brother's breathing is very shallow. Is it okay? 302
Would Your Highness please tell him to leave. 303
What? 304
You want me to leave? 305
You... wait outside. 306
Father! 307
Leave the room. 308
