[Nirvana in Fire 2: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin] 3
[Episode 48] 4
Informing Prince, this place is at most just one day travel from Jinling City. 5
Gather the troops at the front to raise my Prince of Chang Lin Army and follow me to travel overnight towards the capital. 6
Yes! 7
Brother Xun, I will leave you to handle the people at the main camp. 8
Pingjing, there are only 500 soldiers in the front line. 9
You are separating from the main force and going to the capital by your own. 10
How are you going to respond to 70,000 rebel soldiers? 11
From the information I got during our travel, the life of His Majesty is already hanging by a thread. 12
I just want Xiao Yuanqi to see the Prince of Chang Lin Army Banner earlier. 13
Do not worry. If he dares to exit the city, I then would dare to fight him. 14
I heard that a lot of government officials have agreed to submit to Prince Laiyang. 15
There are also no movement at all outside the city. 16
- If by today-- - Nonsense! 17
I was wrong. I will not say it anymore. 18
Even if Xiao Yuanqi will forcefully ascend to the throne today, 19
he still has not reach the state of being invincible from defeat. 20
We still have a lot of things that we can do. Do not despair. 21
[Chaoyang Palace] 22
Your Majesty. 23
Your Majesty got your throne based on the past emperor's last will. 24
Since you ascended, there was lack of supreme morals and there is seething discontent. 25
As requested by hundred of officials, I request Your Majesty 26
to reflect on your mistakes and abdicate the throne for a more skilled ruler. 27
To stabilize the government of the Xiao family, to follow the will of the Heaven and the people. 28
Hope Your Majesty will allow it. 29
Hope Your Majesty will allow it. 30
For a government to be in peril is the fault of the ruler. 31
Your Majesty has already personally wrote an imperial decree 32
and ordered me to read it. 33
Since Your Majesty has given the decree, 34
then just read it. 35
Hurry and open the gates! Emergency military report! 36
Prince Laiyang is the direct descendant of the past emperor. 37
He is good looking with imperial bearing, highly skilled and virtuous. 38
I am willing to entrust my government to him. Hope he will not refuse. 39
I am grateful for Your Majesty's graces and trust 40
in entrusting the government to me. 41
It is just that I have always been slow-witted. 42
I fear that I will not be able to bear such heavy responsibility. 43
I really feel very frightened. 44
Prince Laiyang, you are being too humble. 45
We all are earnestly requesting Prince Laiyang to consider it for the sake of the government and the citizens 46
and stop refusing it. 47
Reporting! 48
Informing Prince. There is a Chang Lin Banner that is already pressing near the capital. 49
Chang Lin? 50
This...is it not it is already gone? This is not right. 51
Say it more clearly. What banner? 52
Chang Lin. 53
What is going on? 54
This... 55
Why are you panicking? 56
The Chang Lin Army is long gone! 57
Xiao Pingjing is currently far in Langya Mountain. 58
Where he can get an army? How can there be a Chang Lin? 59
General! 60
- General, something has happened. - Don't rush. Say it slowly. 61
There are movements in the city walls. Xiao Yuanqi personally led some men up the city walls. 62
The rebel army in the city is currently gathering. Even the Patrol Guards went there. 63
- What about the abdication ceremony of His Majesty? - I still have no clear news. 64
But, what I am sure about is Xiao Yuanqi was not able to ascend to the throne. 65
Could it be... 66
It is really Chang Lin Banner. As a soldier of Great Liang, 67
I never thought that one day, I will be going against the Chang Lin Army. 68
This is not the Chang Lin Army. 69
Take them away! 70
Imperial brother! 71
- Imperial brother! - Watch them well! - Yuanjia! Yuanyou! 72
- Pull him back! - Quickly take them away! - Imperial brother! 73
- Let go of me! - Imperial brother! 74
Prince! 75
Prince, let's hurry. 76
Move! 77
Pull him up. 78
Let's go. 79

The Chang Lin Army of Xiao Pingjing has already been disassembled into pieces. 81
It is impossible for him to pull them all from thousands of mile away back to the capital. 82
These ones are just a mob that he urgently assembled 83
carrying the Chang Lin Banner. 84
I have a 70,000 Yulin Imperial Army. 85
General Di is also a mighty warrior yourself. 86
With a small number of army like that, they can be crushed into pieces in just a blink of an eye. 87
Yes. 88
Prince. 89
Prince, I think that we must not allow him to keep placing his army outside the city like that. 90
This will waver the morale of the army inside the capital. 91
May Prince give the order. I am willing to go out and fight him. 92
The area outside the city is open and vast. The number of the Yulin Imperial Army was exceeds his. 93
May Prince do not worry. I have the confidence to win. 94
Of course, I believe that with General Di's bravery, 95
you surely will return victorious. 96
Prince. 97
Prince, look. 98
Impossible. 99
Three days... My several years of hard work, 100
at the time that I am already at my most glorious moment, 101
he is just shattering them with one strike. 102
In the end, he only granted me 3 days... 103
Xiao Pingjing... 104
Prince, behind Xiao Pingjing 105
is a fame created by two generations of his father and older brother. 106
Unlike you, you only have my backing. 107
Do you regret it? 108
I followed Prince in your revolt not out of a moment of impulse. 109
I already have thought about the worst possible situation. 110
Fortunately, I already do not have any relatives that will get affected with my crime. 111
Either way, it is just one life. 112
Wrong. 113
We do not need to pay with our lives. 114
As long as Xiao Yuanshi is still in my hands, 115
we can wait for Xiao Pingjing to fall into our trap. 116
If we are unable to eliminate Xiao Pingjing, 117
I will not sleep at ease even if I become the emperor. 118
Prince, I have one thing I do not understand. 119
No matter how much their army strength is outside, Jinling City is already under your control. 120
Since the Jinling City gates are sealed, how would he be able to sneak in? 121
Why do you think he is giving me 3 days when he has thousands of armies under his rule? 122
Jinling City is too vast. 123
It can seal off an ordinary person, 124
but it might not be able to block him. 125
I am sure that he will come. 126
Looks like Prince of Chang Lin has indeed come. 127
The things we have done in the city these past days were not in vain. 128
- Keep all your spirits up. - Yes. 129
Once I go out, you all should be careful in hiding. 130
Try your best not to have any encounter and do not make rash moves. 131
Yes. 132
Stay alive. 133
You can release it now. 134
Let us go. 135
Pingjing. 136
Brother Xun. 137
Following your orders, the setting of the camps of the whole army has been completed. 138
Brother Xun, you have worked hard. 139
I heard that you gave Xiao Yuanqi 3 days 140
for him to make his exchange conditions. Is that right? 141
What else can we do? 142
His Majesty, the imperial clan, government subjects, and the imperial ancestral temple 143
are all in Xiao Yuanqi's hands. 144
If we pressure him too much, he might just destroy everything. 145
For a traitor like him who connived with foreign kingdoms, what is there to talk about?! 146
As long as His Majesty is still in his hands, 147
we have no choice but to have misgivings and proceed cautiously. 148
Sit. I happen to have something to ask you. 149
Tell me then. What are you planning next? 150
Those 3 days is not for Xiao Yuanqi. It is for us. 151
What do you mean? 152
I plan to sneakily get His Majesty out. 153
What? Sneakily get His Majesty out? 154
- Pingjing, are you crazy? - For the palace, 155
- Brother Xun surely know it better than me, right? - I do know it very clearly. 156
But what is the current situation, I totally do not know. 157
General! 158
General. 159
General. There is someone outside requesting for an audience. He said that he came from the city. 160
From the city? 161
- Hurry and let him in. - Yes. 162
I am Yue Yinchuan. Respectfully greeting General of Huaihua. 163
Yue Yinchuan? Qianzhou's Yue Yinchuan? 164
I am indeed. 165
His Majesty entrusted me the Son of God Treasure 166
and ordered me to gather troops to rescue him. 167
[Ji Feng Hall] 168
Move! 169
[Ji Feng Hall] 170
This point is a blind spot in the border wall inspection security of the Yulin Imperial Army. 171
If you want to secretly enter the city by climbing over the wall, this point is the most suitable place. 172
May I ask Prince how many you want to send in? 173
If we bring too many people, there is a greater chance of failing. 174
Brother Xun and I are the best in terms of fighting skills. 175
The palace is also High Commander's territory. Nobody knows that place better than him. 176
- Only the two of us will go. - Prince wants to personally go? 177
Brother Xun has been frowning since the start. Do you still have any doubts? 178
Pingjing, with our skills, 179
it is not difficult to sneak into the palace and see His Majesty. 180
But have you thought about that in the face of the 70,000 soldiers of Xiao Yuanqi, 181
it is completely impossible to take His Majesty out of the city. 182
Why must we take him out of the city? 183
Is it painful? 184
Being born in the imperial family, you never experienced such pain, right? 185
That is right too. 186
Upon being born, you are already the Crown Prince. 187
Your life is really great. 188
But with me here now, you are nothing. 189
No weight at all. I can kill you anytime. 190
Kill me then. 191
Do not worry. I will not kill you now. 192
Xiao Pingjing is here. 193
You think that your savior has come. 194
But I never thought too 195
that Xiao Pingjing will be able to call forth so many people overnight. 196
I know what he is planning. 197
Do you want to know what is outside here? 198
The corridors here, 199
steps, and walls have 1/3 of the Yulin Imperial Army guarding it. 200
If you move farther out, the Chang Lin Manor, Ji Feng Hall, 201
any places that had connections with Prince of Chang Lin have all been controlled by me. 202
Outside this hall, General Di is in-charge of it. 203
Inside... 204
I will personally accompany you. 205
Do you know why I must make such grand arrangements? 206
Because of you. 207
You are currently my greatest stake and bait. 208
The area inside and outside the palace is too vast. I may be able to seal off a normal person, 209
but I am unable to seal off Xiao Pingjing and Xun Feizhan. 210
For martial arts masters like him and Xun Feizhan, 211
any kind of defense is not excessive. 212
If he does not come personally, how can he showcase his House of Chang Lin style of good faith, virtue, and patriotism? 213
But I also know that if he comes, 214
he will not be able to leave. 215
Do not worry. I will think about giving you two brothers a chance 216
to say goodbye to each other. 217
I understand Prince's point already. 218
The risk of leaving the city is indeed very high. There is almost no chance of being successful in it. 219
But if we can find a chance 220
to hide His Majesty in a place that Xiao Yuanqi will not think of for a short time, 221
then is that not equivalent to rescuing him already? 222
General Yue, I know Xiao Yuanqi's capabilities. 223
But that Donghu Yulin's Di Ming... 224
That is right. Di Ming is strict, impartial, valiant, and good in fighting. 225
During the Battle of Donghai, he was a fierce warrior. 226
But the Donghu Yulin is still an inexperienced army. 227
I am sure that right now, there are some soldiers whose morale is wavering. 228
Then General Yue, why don't you try to estimate 229
if we start to attack the city with all our might, how long can we take it down? 230
At most, 6 hours. 231
- 6 hours? - Yes. 232
But Prince, the person that Xiao Yuanqi is guarding against the most is you. 233
- Why not let me and High Commander Xun-- - No. 234
You cannot go. You know about the zone of influence of the enemy army the most. 235
That is why, during the attack of the city, I still need you to stay and give instructions. 236
Do not worry. The place where Brother Xun and I will be hiding 237
is a place that Xiao Yuanqi surely do not know of. 238
Kneel! All of you, kneel! 239
General Di. 240
Deserters? 241
Prince was already very gracious and has given great rewards. 242
Yet these people still dared to escape mid-battle? 243
They really are asking to die. 244
Commander He. 245
Prince. 246
Prince... 247
Since you followed me to revolt, then all of you should have understand 248
that this is a no return path. 249
Do you know what crime is waiting for you outside these walls? 250
Rebellion, a crime where 9 generations of your clan will be executed. 251
Only by persisting until the end can you have any chance of survival. 252
If you are unable to understand even that, 253
then there is indeed no need to continue living. 254
Prince! Give me us one more chance! 255
Deserters should be executed and shown to the public! 256
Order the centurions and soldiers with higher ranks than them to come and observe the execution. 257
Prince! Prince! Have mercy! 258
The plan to sneak into the capital is only known by a few in this army. 259
That's why, when Brother Xun and I set out tonight, you all must continue acting normally. 260
Let General Yue directly lead the front line camp. 261
I already introduced the other camp leaders to you. 262
There is also Uncle Yuan and General Wei who will help you. 263
I believe that while I'm not around, 264
General Yue will be able to stabilize the situation outside the city. 265
Prince, I think-- 266
What I said earlier is a military order 267
and not asking for your opinion. 268
I will follow your order! 269
May Prince forgive me. 270
Get up. 271
General Yue, please wait. 272
High Commander. 273
I know that General Yue is not a person that will question a military order. 274
What I am against is not the plan to sneakily enter the capital. 275
What I am against is Prince of Chang Lin personally going. 276
Why? 277
May High Commander think about it. Xiao Yuanqi is already a criminal that betrayed the kingdom. 278
Since His Majesty fell into his hands, 279
we might not be able to rescue him alive. 280
If things really reach that step, 281
what the government will need the most 282
is someone like Prince of Chang Lin who can stabilize the government. 283
But if he also goes in, 284
who among the imperial clan can have the same weight as him? 285
I fear that by that time, 286
it will be a chaotic fight on who has the greater right and higher status. 287
And, if the imperial clan is in unstable, the government will be in disarray too. 288
An internal strife will surely harm the strength and fame of the kingdom. For the citizens, 289
that is again another calamity. 290
General. 291
- How is the situation? - No movements at all. 292
Brother Xun, with my understanding of him, 293
His Majesty's life will surely be in danger once we attack the city. 294
By that time, who then is this rescue army of ours 295
fighting for? 296
But what General Yue Yinchuan said is also reasonable. 297
Once he decided to destroy everything, 298
I fear that the future of Great Liang... 299
Brother Xun, when this more than a million rescue army reached the walls of Jinling, 300
Xiao Yuanqi already failed. 301
Even without me, 302
the citizens in this world will not let this treacherous subject get what he wants. 303
- Let's go. - Let's go. 304
It is very quiet above the walls. 305
Looks like everything went smoothly. 306
Do not mind the rumors spreading outside. 307
All are fake. 308
If anyone dares to say gossips in front of the Prince's Consort, 309
I will not spare her. 310
Yes. 311
Bring me my jewelries. 312
Yes. 313
Oh, no! 314
Prince, it is better that you rest early. 315
There will surely be movement outside the city tomorrow. 316
No matter if you decide to fight or peacefully surrender, it will not be an easy feat. 317
Also, Xiao Yuanshi is just on the side. 318
What else are you worried about? 319
You do not know Xiao Pingjing at all. 320
This time before daybreak 321
is too quiet. 322
The more it is quiet, the more there is danger lurking around the corners. 323
He should be appearing soon. 324
If he does not come, 325
he will really be disappointing my efforts. 326
- Prince's Consort... - Do not come near me! 327
- You must not! - Do not come near me! Move aside! 328
- Prince's Consort... - Prince's Consort... 329
Get lost! Do not come near me! 330
- Prince's Consort... - Get lost! Get lost! 331
All of you, do not follow me! Do not come near me! 332
Prince's Consort! 333
Prince's Consort! 334
Prince's Consort! 335
Hurry! Hurry and go look for Prince. 336
Prince's Consort! 337
Prince's Consort! 338
- Prince. - Anru. 339
- Do not come near me! - Anru... 340
Anru, what are you doing? 341
Hurry and come down, Anru. I am here. 342
I am here. 343
We will be victorious soon. What are you doing? 344
Sometimes, dying... 345
is way easier than living. 346
Anru... Anru, did someone said something in front of you? 347
Do not entertain foolish ideas. 348
The current situation in Jinling is not as bad as you think. 349
Jinling is surrounded by walls on all four sides. 350
You really think that you can safely escape here? 351
I am not thinking. 352
I am sure I can do it! 353
Why? 354
Listen to me say it to you first, Anru. 355
Anru... Let us not talk about personal motives first. 356
Xiao Pingjing is bearing two generations of fame and honor of the House of Changlin on his shoulders. 357
Xiao Yuanshi is still his emperor, so he cares about that little emperor's life more than anyone else. 358
Anru, do not be afraid. I still have the ability to fight it out with Xiao Pingjing. 359
Even if the Heaven will really abandon me in the end, 360
as long as Xiao Yuanshi is still in my hands, 361
I can then ask for our safety in exchange. 362
I will take you...and let us go far and fly high. 363
Go far and fly high? 364
Go where? 365
Go to Donghai? 366
Anru, since you understood my plans, 367
why are you still being this willful? 368
Quickly come down. Quickly come to me. 369
Anru! Anru! 370
Anru... Did I not already tell you 371
that you have me for everything. You do not need to worry. 372
Although I am a woman, 373
I always have others deciding for everything, 374
I still want to live with peace and not bring humiliation to my clan. 375
You started a rebellion. 376
I then am considered to be a disloyal subject. 377
Uncle raised me, 378
yet he got murdered because of my weakness. 379
That is being so unfilial. 380
Anru, you cannot think about a lot of things that way. 381
- Anru... - I already made so many sins in this life. 382
Hope I can have a clean reputation in my next life. 383
Anru! Anru! 384
Prince's Consort! 385
Anru! 386
Anru! 387
Anru! 388
Sister Anru... 389
