Episode 15
Hua Cuo?
Leave them here!
Attack!
Chen Bai already escorted the Princess out of there.
He is dependable. I'm always at ease with him.
Young Lord, Liu Yu has reached Jizhou.
The morale of Liu Song's army has greatly increased. Looks like this will be a hard battle.
I already can't sleep for 3 days, 3 nights. How could you get distracted now just because of a woman?
- What do you plan then? - Of course, it's to marshall the soldiers to be in formation for battle and enhance their morale.
Engage the Liu Song army in a fierce battle.
The enemy has more troops than us. There is a wide gap in military strength.
It's fine for you to die alone.
How could so many innocent Wei soldiers die with you?
Does Master already have a strategy to force the enemy to retreat?
None.
This...
Since the enemy is coming at us at such ferocious manner, let's admit defeat then.
Young Lord, we can't just do that?!
Water stops its flow because it meets land. An army's victory is dependent on its enemy's actions.
Hence, battle situations change, no river are completely alike.
Those that are able to win by changing its strategy depending on the enemy's situation is deemed gods.
Brother Yuwen, just watch on
how I'll lose to the Liu Song empire.
- Your Majesty! Your Majesty! - Protect me! Protect me!
Your Majesty!
All the soldiers are looking at you.
Do you want my head get shot at by an arrow?!
Your Majesty, you are personally leading the expedition.
Your Majesty...it's better that we go inside.
It's too dangerous here outside! Your health is more important. Let's just go in.
That's right. I'm here to personally led the expedition.
Hua Yuan'er, remove your clothes.
Come, remove my head accessory.
- Your Majesty, this-- - Your Majesty, you must not do this!
Do you plan to disobey my decree?
- Hurry up! Hurry and remove my head accessory. - Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, I beg you...
Your Majesty...
Hua Yuan! Why are you trembling?! Look at how you're like a coward!
Your Majesty, I'm not trembling.
Zong Yue, threaten him with your sword.
Stand well!
His Majesty is here!
His Majesty is here! His Majesty is here!
Your Majesty has come to Jizhou to guard it with us!
Charge!
Everyone! Jizhou city must not be lost!
His Majesty is looking at all of you! The chance to kill the enemies and achieve merits is just right in front of you!
You all must make the enemies retreat. His Majesty will surely grant you based on your merits.
Attack!
Retreat!
Move aside...
Go down a little.
Put the cape on me too.
Weird. What's going on?
Long live, Your Majesty!
The enemy has been defeated! We won great momentum!
Spread my decree!
Food and fabric will be rewarded to everyone based on their merits.
I am still rewarding you all with wine!
Long live, Your Majesty!
Lighter...
Stop.
What is on your carriages?
His Majesty personally joined the front line and preserved the Jizhou city.
These are gifts that nearby merchants prepared for His Majesty.
Gifts?
This is our permit to pass.
- Go now. - Let's go...
Wait!
Officer, what are your orders?
What's inside the carts? Open them and check.
Officer, these are precious items. They can't be exposed to the sun.
They can't be exposed to the sun?
Open those two at the back!
His Majesty wanted to reward the 3 armies. How can the wines he bought be enough?
An imperial decree came from the relaying station asking the nearby county to prepare some wines.
These are high grade bergamot pear wine. They have very pure and thick flavor and are worth thousands of gold.
Hurry and cover them up!
If the taste changes, His Majesty will surely be very mad!
By then, both of us will lose our heads. Cover them up.
- What are you standing there for?! Help out! - Cover them up!
Mother...
Let's go down and take a look.
Who are these people?
I'm asking you who these people are. Why are they gathering here in the city outskirts?
All these are refugees from the nearby counties.
They initially have gathered in front of the gates of Jizhou. But because the emperor has personally came to lead the army,
they were forced to be driven out here in the city outskirts.
No wonder, you won't say a word. If not because your people started this war,
they wouldn't have lost their families and loved ones.
Youlan, bring down all the food inside our carriage.
Yes.
Father...
There's something to eat over there!
- Move back! Fall in line! - Father! - Give me some.
Hurry and eat this.
- Thanks. - Thanks. Eat slowly.
Fall in line. The old people and children should be in front.
- No need to fight over it. - Thanks.
Don't crowd. Don't rush.
You are a good person.
Don't rush. Don't rush. Everyone gets to have one.
Eat.
Stop crying.
Just bury him.
- Hurry and eat. - Here.
Hurry and eat.
- Don't fight. Each one gets one. - Such a good person.
- How come most are women and children? - Those Wei people
charged into our village in the middle of the night,
and took away all the men.
Us women and children
have to hide in the mountain cave, hence, we survived.
In our journey to here,
we have already sold our own children,
yet still unable to live.
A lot of people just starved to death like that.
There are numerous corpses in that forest over there.
Some kids were even dragged away by wolves.
You said that it was the Wei people who charged into your village? Impossible.
Can I still lie to you? I'm already this old.
Even if we don't starve to death,
if we get captured by the Wei army,
we won't be able to escape getting cooked by them.
There are corpses all over the neighboring regions.
All are decaying. No one is burying them.
If you don't believe me, you can go look at them yourselves.
What kind of world is this?
Prin... Lady, we should leave.
Get in the carriage.
Lady, I can guarantee with my life
that these were not the doings of Master.
Isn't he the commander-in-chief of Wei?
Yes. But Lady--
When two armies face each other
and a lot of people die in the battlefield to determine the victor, I won't have anything to say about that.
But what about them? They are citizens who couldn't even defend themselves.
There are even elders and children. How could he have killed the innocent people?!
Lady--
No need to say it anymore. Let's go.
Princess, you...are you still made at Sir Rong?
He lied to us before
because of his different identity and standpoint.
I can only blame myself for assuming that he cared and it has nothing to do with others.
Hence, I was able to let go so casually.
Just treat that we never met.
But today, he actually killed innocent women and children
just to win the war. He is really so cruel.
- Mother! - You're so annoying!
Mother, I beg you!
- There are wars and famine every year! - Don't sell me!
Don't sell you?! How then will we live?
- Get lost! - I beg you, mother!
You're so noisy!
This one doesn't have much meat on her.
- Let's go! - Father!
Father,
- save me! - Stop crying! Let's go!
- Leave! Leave! Hurry and leave! - Let's go!
- Hurry and catch her! - Don't run!
Don't let her escape!
Don't run!
- Don't run! - Stop right there!
- Let's see where you can go to now! - Don't run!
This...
Even the heaven is standing on my side!
Your Majesty has received the blessings of the heaven. You are a genuine son of heaven.
If you personally do things, how can there be anything that can't successfully fulfill?
Tell me then.
How do I compare with that deposed emperor Liu Ziye?
Your Majesty is wise and a great warrior. The deposed emperor was absurd and ignorant.
How could you to be even comparable?
Good. Good. Come, Huan Yuan, make me a poem.
Record this victorious achievement today
and pass it on to the younger generations.
Your Majesty is being happy too soon.
Imperial Astrologer? What do you mean?
There is one advice I want to give you.
It was Liu Ziye before, it will be you now.
You...
What did you say earlier?
Liu Ziye was a muddled emperor, so it was just natural that he got deposed.
Although your talent and intelligence is way beyond him, too bad, you were born during the wrong times.
Your ending might be worse that that Liu Ziye.
Tian Rujing, how dare you?!
- Assist me up! - Okay. Okay.
Imperial Astrologer, how dare you talk like that?!
You think that because you are set up on high, you can already challenge the power and might of His Majesty?
Your Majesty, no need to be mad. Now that the greedy wolf has been reincarnated.
It is greatly affecting the fortune of our Song empire.
If Your Majesty don't eliminate this person immediately,
I fear that you won't be able to stably sit on your imperial throne.
I can't understand clearly what Imperial Astrologer is saying.
What greedy wolf being reincarnated? What about my fortune being not good?
You better explain yourself clearly.
That Wei commander Rong Zhi
is the person that's affecting our Song's fortune.
If you want to become the master of this world,
you then must sweep away this obstacle that's right in front of you.
But Wei...
But Wei has already been defeated!
Rong Zhi is very sly and scheming.
Your Majesty shouldn't forget yourself because of extreme excitement.
Setting up a celebratory feast in the whole city will only give Wei a chance to take advantage of.
Shut up!
Tian Rujing, stop saying it.
If Your Majesty wants to hear good words, then look for those fawning subjects.
But I'm not one. The duty of the Yunjin Mountain is to assist the emperor,
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Tian Rujing, why must you anger him?
I'm not angering him, but is warning him.
If he could prepare for it earlier, maybe it can prevent unnecessary harm.
Let me ask you this. Why did you ask His Majesty to personally lead this expedition?
How come you still won't let Chuyu off?!
Chuyu?
Yes.
Huan Yuan, I iniitally thought that the gathering of the 3 stars have already been broken.
But the truth is not like that.
Because the greedy wolf is causing mischief,
if we don't eliminate this sinister and cunning person early on,
I fear that Chuyu will never have peaceful days.
If you really are thinking for her sake, then don't hinder me.
I don't understand.
You only need to understand that only by killing Rong Zhi
can everything return to its proper place.
Chuyu can also be safe and sound.

Hua Cuo, I never mistreated you.
If not because my ginseng saved your life, you would have died long ago. Do you know that?!
The greatest mistake you have done is letting Rong Zhi fall in love with you.
Since I want him to be in inconsolable regrets, I then must not have any conscience.
Sorry then.
You are involving innocent people. You're totally absurd!
Stop wasting time with him.
Save me!
- Youlan! - Save me!
Lady, let go! Don't mind her!
- Hold me! - Save me!
It's good that you're fine.
Thank you, Princess.
This is...
Master has already arranged for everything.
Don't worry. No one will be able to follow us.
Wait!
I know already. Go and tell him
that everything will be done according to plan.
Yes.
General Yuwen, what are you doing?
Nothing.
Was there a military report?
None.
General, you wouldn't be hiding something from me, right?
Mo Xiang, you are just a spy from the Liu Song empire.
If not because Young Lord is putting much importance on you,
you don't even have the right to talk to me.
I urge you that you better not forget your status.
Brother Yuwen!
Giving considerations to Master, I will not make a fuss with you today.
If you dare to be unruly again, don't blame me for being heartless.
What's wrong?
Didn't you notice an outsider earlier?
I was sitting here all this time.
If there was anyone who came in, how could I have not seen him?
But I really saw a shadow.
You're imagining things.
- You're still keeping this? - Meddlesome.
But I remember that this fragrance pouch...His Majesty...
Wrong, the deposed emperor Liu Ziye has thrown it away.
Could it be that you picked it up?
It can calm one's senses.
- I then kept it. - Really?
Other than that, you think it will be for other reasons?
I thought towards Princess, you have some...
- Senior Brother! - Okay, sorry.
I was out of line. You two are now enemies. I shouldn't have let my imagination run wild.
Go out now. I want to be alone.
Junior Brother, you're really angry?
Get out.
Hurry! Hurry! Be nimble!
Stop dilly-dallying! What place do you think this is?
All of you, be careful!
If you break His Majesty's good wines, I'll make sure that you take home the stuff that you can't eat! (suffer the consequences)
Hurry up! Hurry up!
Imperial Astrologer, you're here. His Majesty will be having his celebratory banquet tonight.
I was just about to invite you.
No need. I won't attend it.
How could that be possible?
His Majesty personally instructed that Imperial Astrologer should come.
Tell His Majesty that I'm not feeling well and won't be able to go.
Imperial Astrologer! Imperial Astrologer!
Eunuch Officer, where should I place this vase?
Where do you think it should be placed?
Just casually find any corners to put it on! Do you plan to still place it on your head?!
All have no eyes!
And you people over there! Hurry up!
Right? Your Majesty, eat this.
Your Majesty...
General, we've searched the city. There are no traces of them at all. I fear that they have left the city.
General Zong, everyone is drinking to their heart's content tonight. Everyone is so happy.
How come you look unhappy?
It's nothing.
Really?
The two of us are drinking in this banquet tonight.
I fear that no one is guarding the city wall right now.
I've already arranged for people to supervise the walls.
Moreover, the Wei retreated after suffering a great loss. They couldn't have accumulated new strength that fast and make a counterattack that soon.
Just be at ease in drinking and merrymaking tonight.
Tomorrow, let's gather our strength and catch them unprepared.
What General Shen said is right. As long as we attack them with one spurt of energy,
we surely will be able to drive the enemies back to their hometown.
Come, I'm going to give you 2 generals a toast.
Stop right there!
- Come. Come. - Hey, officers...
These are fruits that I'm using to feed my family.
My harvest is poor this year. It wasn't easy to still have picked up this many.
This. Please just use this to have some tea.
Just let my fruits go.
I am risking my life in the front lines.
You're just going to make me leave with this much?
You think I'm some beggar?! Beat him up!
Officer, don't hit me! Please have mercy!
Officer, stop beating me up! I admit my mistake! Stop hitting me!
- Please stop hitting me. - Enough. Let's go! Let's go!
My fruits...
They not only rob people, they even beat them up or kill them. This group of soldiers
are completely more cruel than the Wei!
Don't you want to live anymore? His Majesty is currently here in Jizhou and just won a battle.
Tonight, the military camp has set up a banquet for their merriment all night long. Don't know how many more like those are causing troubles around here.
Don't cry anymore. Hurry up and clean this mess.
If you meet up a worse one later, you might be unable to preserve your life.
They all said that the new emperor is better. I think he's more lavish than the young emperor.
Just to set up a banquet, they have searched the whole city.
My daughter getting killed by the Wei is way better
than her eating tree barks and soil everyday.
My fruits...
Thanks.
How come all are wet?
[Jizhou Official Inn]
Everyone sitting here are all meritorious officers.
You, go and give General Zong a toast.
Yes.
Timing and Subtitles carefully crafted by the MEI DAXIA Team at viki.com
General, please.
Your Majesty, I still am doing rounds tonight. Please forgive me.
I won't blame you. She's the one that didn't do it well.
She didn't even know how to urge people to drink.
What's the use of letting her live?!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
You, hurry up!
General, save me! I beg you...
Your Majesty, all are my fault. I made you unhappy.
I'll drink all this cup first to show my respect.
Good! Good! Shen Youzhi, hurry and pay up!
I won!
General Zong, His Majesty said that you're always very serious and so boring.
He insisted to make a bet with me if you'll have tender and protective feelings for a woman.
It was indeed His Majesty who has the an all-seeing mind in looking at people.
He understands your thoughts.
Yes...it was me who was insenstivei
and caused a beautiful woman to be harmed.
Shen Youzhi, I heard that your alcohol tolerance is very good.
This wine doesn't seem to be strong enough.
Men! Serve Subject Shen another wine.
Yes.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
What is that?!
General Shen,
the deposed emperor before loved to take out the eyes
of criminals to pair with his wine.
If you soak it in honey, it's kind of sweet.
Right. That asshole
even gave it a name.
What is it called again?
Replying to His Majesty, it's called 'Ghost Eye Rice Dumplings'.
Right. Right. It's exactly called 'Ghost Eye Rice Dumplings'.
That asshole is not that good in governance,
but is able to come up with fitting acts like this.
General Shen, I heard that you're not afraid of anything.
Earlier, I made a bet with Hua Yuan'er
that this will surely scare you.
Aren't you still going to assist me?!
But I never thought that...
Shen Youzhi, you are actually such a coward.
With such guts, how could you lead the army?! How could you go to the battlefield?!
So, before, all were just the bedcover.
Now, these are His Majesty's real interlocking.
Your Majesty, I indeed lacked courage.
Yes. Yes. You lacked courage.
That's why, I helped you train it.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
They are all downstairs drinking good wines and eating good food, while we are left up here drinking the northwestern wind. So unfair.
Isn't that right? Even the dinner was delivered late.
I think these people must be crazy from the merrymaking now. If Wei attacks, we surely will get defeated at once.
Say, you two should stop dreaming.
- The Wei army lost so badly thisi morning. How can they dare to come again? - That's right too.
Come. Come. Brothers, don't just stand there! Come here and have some drinks.
Come! Come! Come over here!
Come! Come! Good wine. Cheers! Drink more.
Come...
Come! Come! It's the Wei Army!
Wei...Wei Army? What's going on?
Inform them! Hurry and inform them! Hurry!
Your Majesty! The Wei Army are attacking the city!
What did you say?
Your Majesty, there is fire in the city. The fire has spread until the main gates.
The spy opened the city gates during the commotion, working in collusion with the army outside.
Now, the eastern, western, and northern gates have all been occupied by Wei.
Your Majesty, please immediately leave this place.
What else are you still standing here for?! Hurry and take me to retreat out of the southern gates!
Aren't you going to hurry and prepare the horses?!
Yes...
Your Majesty...
Zong Yue, let me tell you. You must immediately reorganize the army and go to battle.
If Jizhou is lost, I'll have you answer for it.
Your Majesty, the city is now in fire. Three city gates are now lost. How do you plan to make me guard this city?
Your Majesty!
General Zong, this is His Majesty's order. If you dare to disobey it, you'll only get executed right now.
You...
- Fire! Fire! - Move aside! Move aside! Hurry!
- Move aside! - What are they doing?
- Hurry up! - What's going on?
Move!
- Your Majesty! - Withdraw!
- Your Majesty, wait for me! - Move!
Your Majesty!
Hurry and go.
- Where is the Imperial Astrologer? - Don't disturb me.
- I'm asking you where Imperial Astrologer went! - I don't know.
Hurry up!
Where is Tian Rujing?
I don't know.
You are his senior brother. How could you now know where he is?
Now that Jizhou has fallen, did he escape with them too?
My Junior Brother isn't that kind of person.
Tell me then, where is he now?
- Where are you going? - I'm going to look for Chuyu.
She might be in danger.
Young Lord, Liu Yu indeed is escaping towards the south.
That's good then.
Come with me to meet this new emperor of Liu Song then.
Yes.
Young Lord has orders, those who has weapons
will be killed if they resist.
But you're not allowed to harm any ordinary citizen.
The more you can't rape and loot.
If anyone disobey it, bring your head to see him.
Yes!
Thank you Sir, for not killing us!
Thank you, Sir...
General Zong, when did you become a woman?
Too bad. I can recognize you even if you turn into ashes.
Hurry...
I'm so tired... Put me down there...
I'm so tired. Water! Water!
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, we better move now. We must continue southwards.
Continue southwards?
You even dare to say that?!
If not because you...
were so stupid, how could we have fallen into the trap of the Wei?!
They faked their surrender. Didn't you see through it? You're to blame for all of these, do you know that?!
Your Majesty, I am incompetent. May Your Majesty forgive me.
But now is not the time for blaming. We must hurry with our journey.
Hurry with our journey?
Where can we still go?
You. Exactly you. Come over here.
- Your Majesty. - Remove your clothes.
- Exchange clothes with me. Yes.
Liu Yu, after being the emperor, you have lived so comfortably. You have gained a lot of weight.
I'm sure your horse couldn't bear the heave weight anymore.
Shen Youzhi, hurry and think of a way.
Liu Yu, in the past, you pretended to be crazy.
You were able to fool Liu Ziye. Do you plan to do the same trick again today?
How were you able to start a fire in the city?
That's simple. The new emperor just ascended the throne. He rushes to establish his prestige.
Once he wins, he surely will give it great publicity and announce it all over the world.
Half of the wines that were transported into the city were kerosene.
General, you have great tricks.
Too bad, in Wei,
you are just a general.
How about this? If you let me go today,
I'll grant you the Great General position.
Think about it. You will just be working under one person and be above everyone else.
Such high honor!
This is numerous times way better
than you getting ordered around in Wei.
Great General? Like Shen Qingzhi
who got choked to death by his nephew?
Everyone, don't fall in to his trap. He is swaying the army's morale.
Shen Youzhi, have you kept hose two chests of treasures of yours well?
It was actually you?!
Could it be that you were already scheming starting that time?
Impossible. Totally impossible!
How were you able to predict all of these?
I don't believe it. No one could have predicted it.
As long as you understand the human heart, everything else will effortlessly split off once it faces the edge of the knife. (easily gets solved)
You are headstrong, narrow-minded, and kept being suppressed by Shen Qingzhi.
You tried your best to excel. As long as you're given a chance,
you would dare to kill anyone.
As for Prince Xiangdong, he used mediocrity to conceal his wild ambitions. He's easy to be swayed.
Why did you meticulously plotted all of these?
Don't you all still understand?
Shen Qingzhi getting killed is equivalent to destroying the foundation of the Liu Song empire.
I then can move southwards with one go and conquer your land.
Arrest them!
You...just say what you want. I'll give you whatever you want!
Don't kill me.
I just want your head.
Lord Rong, despite your meticulous calculations, don't you know about the oriole waiting behind the mantis while he's stalking the cicada?
Imperial Astrologer!
Brother Yuwen, why are you now in Tian Rujing side?
He didn't come to my side.
He was just ordered by Wei's Empress Dowager
to let you forever stay in Song.
Fengting is my biological sister and the Empress Dowager of Wei.
Even she got convinced by you. I really am impressed.
You are extremely smart. I'm sure that
you already know about the principles of 'merits overshadowing one's master' and 'the bows should be kept aside once the birds are gone'.
You were able to hide within Song and conquered the 7 commanderies of Huaixi and 4 commanderies of Huaibei.
Your fame indeed now resounds all over the world.
Even without my prediction, she will also
place righteousness above family loyalty, forever eliminating the causes of future troubles.
Tian Rujing, I have always not understood.
Why are you and your teacher kept going against me?
Teacher said that you are the main criminal that will bring disaster to the world
and disrupt the law of nature.
Only by killing you can everything move according to plan.
Just with your people, you think you can defeat me?
Bring them here.
Rong Zhi, do you still remember me, your old friend?
Tian Rujing, I've belittled you.
Rong Zhi, immediately stop.
Or else, I'll kill this maidservant first
and then kill the woman you love!
