♫ I start to dance nimbly and gracefully ♫
♫ For what my beautiful face is frowned? ♫
♫ Without him, I'll drift with the current ♫
♫ Why is the tune of the zither a farewell song? ♫
♫ Without me, he'll be lonely in this universe ♫
♫ My heart silently waits at the cliff of Firmament ♫
♫ The heaven, the earth, the sun and the moon are all in my bosom ♫
♫ How can I own the top freedom in this world? ♫
♫ There is no fear from my heart ♫
♫ Deep love won't hide ♫
♫ True love won't run short ♫
♫ Dreams give hopes through all the ages ♫
♫ Why go through storms and stress to be bright and beautiful? ♫
♫ There is no struggle from my heart ♫
♫ Swaying along with the wind ♫

[Legend of Fuyao]
~ Episode 38 ~
So what if you are the Crown Prince of Megrez?
Is it that impressive being the Crown Prince of Megrez?
I followed you because I want to, not because of who you are.
Then why? I need an explanation.
I'm out of wine. Need to get some more.
Tell me, what are you afraid of?
What are you really afraid of?
Because every single day that we spent together is just temporary.
This is all temporary, don't you understand?
This is temporary.
Do you think I don't know just because you don't want to talk about it.
The toxin inside my body is untreatable.
Passion Lockup Toxin.
Passion Lockup Toxin is untreatable.
Do you think I want to be like this?
I like you
but I have to push you away.
Do you think I want to be like this?
Do I want it like this?
I don't want you to be sad.
I don't want you to stay with a dying person.
Don't.
Don't talk about the future.
I will not let you die.
This is not something you can decide.
Trust me.
Trust me. I won't let you die.
Definitely won't.
The New Year Festival is your birthday.
I always tell myself that
I must prepare a very touching celebration for your birthday.
I know
you have everything, and I also don't have enough money to buy you a valuable gift.
I thought you might feel lonely,
that's why, I prepared a lively show for you.
I hope you like it.
I like it.
Flowing light.
For this, you have to thank that hateful doctor. He helped a lot.
It was him who told me...
...that Flowing Light is the mythical bird of South Clan.
When the evening star rises, they then soar up into the night sky.
When the morning star lights, they return to their nests in full strength.
They are able to travel thousands of li during the night,
but also get locked up here forever.
Did Zong Yue tell you...
...that Flowing Light only has a month long life?
Really?
But...they never feared death. When they are about to die,
they will always smell fragrantly and encircled with a purple light.
Each one like a falling petal, returning back to the soil.
This is how a person should live like.
Live brightly
and die honorably.
I once met a woman,
She overlapped with a shadow that's deep within my heart.
I wanted to know her so I got close to her,
and in the process of getting close to her, I slowly forgot my original goal.
I wanted nothing and lacked nothing in my life.
I never had to fight for something or knew the concept of respect,
but because of this woman, I had these feelings for the first time.
This feeling was so intense to the point that I've forgotten about that shadow.
I just want to see her existence.
Fuyao.
I hope that you can be like this bright and clear moon,
Stay by my side forever
against time and death
until the end of the world.
Being able to be with the person you love...
...what's there to fear about death?
Flower will always be around. People will always be around.
A bosom friend for a lifetime, never betraying.
Urgent Megrez report!
Father Emperor is critically ill.
His Majesty, the medicine has been warmed.
After getting sick for so many days,
the high ministers of the court
can't hide their intentions now, right?
From the looks of it now, majority of the court members are not going beyond their place.
Who is the majority
and who is not in the majority?
Lord Duan accepted Prince Assist's—
Stop. Go to the most important point.
Okay. This is a secret report sent last night.
Is this about Prince Assist Pingrong?
You are wise.
Just tell it to me.
It's not some urgent matter.
It just says that Prince Assist has been making nonstop movements lately.
First, were successive secret meetings with the messenger of the Prince/Duke of Wanzhou.
And then, he sent someone to South Clan
to deliver some treasures to the dukes there.
From the looks of it,
Prince Assist is planning to make his move against His Highness Crown Prince.
How is the Crown Prince?
The secret letter from the imperial city has been sent out.
Crown Prince should have received it now.
- It's just that... - Continue with what you're saying.
It's just that Prince Assist has set up soldiers on the road back here.
I fear that the journey of Crown Prince back here will be very dangerous.
Since you've decided to return, what route have you planned to take?
The Secret Guard has already sent me news
that the east and west roads towards Megrez have soldiers of Prince Assist waiting in ambush.
He has guessed that I will immediately rush back to Megrez, and is preparing to ambush me midway.
These are not the only roads back to Megrez.
There's one more. It's the most dangerous, but the quickest.
Geya Desert.
Geya Desert is also known as the death desert. It's the most dangerous and most mysterious place in the Five Regions.
Legend says that the gates to netherworld can be found there.
For so many years, no one was able to come out of Geya Desert alive.
And you still are going?
I'm willing to give it a try.
Two sons fighting, one will surely get hurt. Han Lin.
- I'm here. - In your opinion,
who is more suitable to have my Megrez Empire's emperor position?
Choosing the ruler concerns the nation, I dare not make casual remarks.
Han Lin, you have been with me for so many years.
You can be considered my confidante.
If you don't say it, who else
can dare to say the truth in front of me? Rise.
- Yes. - Just say it. I won't mind.
Crown Prince is sharp and superiorly intelligent.
He is able to hide his thoughts a bit deeper. But at one look,
he seems to lack the ruthlessness in governing a military force compared to Prince Assist.
He's too aloof and disdains to win over anyone's heart. While Prince Assist
has fought in battles for many years, has courage, good in strategies, and has more wild ambition.
It's just that sometimes, he's a bit rash.
What are the court officials thinking?
After all, Your Majesty has conferred Crown Prince his title long before
and he has just learned some abilities from Firmament.
Majority of the court officials
are then following your intention.
Following my intention?
It's just as I have guessed. From the looks of it,
Megrez, Five Regions, the whole court thinks
that Wuji is the only choice for the Megrez Crown Prince.
You know this matter.
The whole imperial court knows it. Then Wuji himself must also know it!
Hence, he relied on this public respect and support
and started to do as he wishes and disobeying me without restraint.
Crown Prince is young. Liking one or two women
is understandable. This time, he most likely
is just having a moment of obsession.
Just for liking a woman from the ordinary class
actually led to the destruction of the wedding agreement between my Megrez and Plough Nation.
As a member of the royal clan, he should know
the importance of the marriage alliance between 2 nations. How could he not know?!
This child has been spoiled too much.
His path has also been too easy and smooth sailing.
Not experiencing any difficulties and suffering isn't a good thing for him.
It's time. He should experience some trials
and be taught some lessons.
Go and call Prince Assist.
Have you ever thought that maybe he wants you to choose this path?
He surely had made preparations on all 3 paths. It's just that Geya Desert is too dangerous.
He probably will just set up ambushes on the moutnain paths towards the desert.
As long as I get rid of these soldiers, the road ahead surely will have no more obstacles.
What if he dispatch a huge army and gamble it all?
Even if that's the case, no need to be overly worried.
I've already sent the Secret Guard to return to the capital to mobilize my army. The Thousand Knights of Upper Yang Palace will meet me in Geya Desert.
The environment there is intensely harsh. It's my best chance to win despite being at a disadvantage in numbers.
Compared to Prince Assist, I'm more worried with those strange things inside the desert.
I kept feeling uneasy.
When have you become such a nag?
I'll go with you.
Royal Father, it's just been days since I last saw you.
How come you've become like this?!
If you're gone,
how can I still live?!
Royal Father...your extraordinary power is matchless.
Unrivaled in wisdom.
These past years, I wasn't able to serve you by your bedside.
I was so unfilial.
Pingrong.
Royal Father, earlier...I was just too worried about you.
Look at you.
Who can dare hand the imperial throne of Megrez to your hands?
The Five Regions world, boundless land, millions of citizens,
will you be able to take the responsibility?!
Royal Father, I was at a sorry figure earlier...
...all because...
...I was thinking about you, worried about your health,
worried about the Father Emperor...
of the Five Regions.
I also couldn't control myself...
...for father and son are connected in heart, Royal Father...
This illness came too timely.
I initially want to use it to test the intentions of the court officials.
Never expected that I will give you the best opportunity to make a move.
Royal Father, I don't understand what you're saying...
You dare to do it and can't dare to admit it?!
You disappointed me.
This royal throne has always been a result of bloodshed!
Royal Father is wise! I understand.
Wuji... I didn't expect that Royal Father will not help you too.
This time, you're dead.

Say, which scriptwriter wrote that
when a woman has pledged her love, she had to personally sew a pouch.
How come it can't be just cutting off a bundle of logs or forge a blade?
You mustn't mock me. I already did my best.
Look, a lotus. Does it look like one?
You're the one who looks like a rice ball! How is it like one?!
It does...not look that good.
I'm not doing it anymore. Anyway, I won't be able to give it out.
Older Sis Fuyao! Older Sis Fuyao, quickly look at Tie Cheng!
- What are you doing? - Crown Prince Wuji took him and don't know where they went.
- Quickly go look. - Wuji? Slow down...
I will surely do my best to do the matters that Teacher instructed.
I'm swearing with my life to take of Teacher's wife.
No, Tie Cheng, are you dumb? Who is your Teacher? And who is your Teacher's wife?
The person who taught me martial arts is my Teacher. Fuyao then naturally becomes my Teacher's wife.
Young lad...you're teachable.
- I don't want to be his Teacher's wife! - Oh?
Really? You're not willing?
What 'oh'?
Let me tell you, that I don't care if you accept any disciple.
But don't involve me. We have a very clean relationship.
Really? You say that our relationship is very clean.
Why then are they saying...
...that you are my woman? And covertly, they are also saying that we are a match made in heaven,
the dragon and phoenix of Yao City.
Bullshit!
I never accepted any disciple, nor plan to accept one.
I made an exception this time for your sake.
For my sake?
I...no need. As a Teacher's wife, I still must care about his food, tea, life, and death.
I...am very poor. I can't afford to care about those. Don't involve me.
Don't worry. When master is not here, I'll take care of eating, drinking and everything else.
I'll guard your life. I'll take care of you well.
You... shut up!
Wait.
You won't be here? You're leaving?
I'm leaving now.
So sudden?
You miss me?
My good disciple.
Take Xiaoqi and leave first.
- Let's go. - Yes, Master.
Hurry, let's go.
Alright, I'll return really soon.
Although you have a Xiaoqi by your side who is clever and kind,
he still is too young and has a bit poor physique.
I can see that Tie Cheng sincerely respects you and he has some martial arts foundation.
Hence, I taught him a little. Hope he can guard by your side and ensure your safety.
With my murderous aura and I'm an expert in turning ill-fate into a good one, who would dare to offend me?
Don't push yourself too hard. Protect yourself well.
In case... in case something goes wrong, what will I do?
I received a message from the palace to return immediately because my father is ill.
It won't be easy to see him face to face.
The poison in your body hasn't been completely removed and you still have to guard the whole Yao City.
Girl, you must not...
Don't worry.
I still have a lot of good food and good wine to enjoy. I'm not ready to get hurt.
Just be at ease and handle your matter.
I will defend Yao City well for you and wait for your return.
Wuji has to leave because his father is ill. Why are you leaving in a hurry too?
Someone is using death to threaten me, that if I'm able to find an antidote for your poison and you die,
he also will not make my life easy.
How much favor do you owe him? You work so hard for him.
Actually, you two owe me much more.
[Yao City Deputy Office]
I'm leaving then.
Ok, leave.
You're not trying to keep me here?
I can't keep you.
For me, you broke the marriage alliance with Plough Nation.
The situation in the Megrez Imperial City curently is very delicate to begin with
and you should have stayed there, yet you rushed towards here.
I'm with you, but I don't want to burden you.
Alright, I'll leave Yuan Bao with you. He can be useful in emergency.
Also, Yao City is where 3 nations meet, an important thoroughfare for the 6 vassal states. It's a critically important area.
I'm entrusting the city to you. Guard it well.
Don't worry. I surely will guard Yao City well.
While the city exists, I exist. Once the city fall, I—
I want you all to exist.
An important guest has come!
It's Lord Xu!
He is the VIP today.
Today's Prince Assist. Tomorrow's Emperor of the Five Regions!
Greetings, Your Highness Prince Assist!
You just drink and enjoy.
- Xiao Hong, you must serve them well. - Master!
You are finally here.
Sir, come, let me offer you a toast.
I have good food and wine in my room waiting for you.
It's been a long time since you visited me.
I really missed you.
Enough.
Greetings, Your Highness.
I, Hong Ying, have fulfilled my mission.
Prince Assist stole the dispatch badge of the Thousand Knights of Upper Yang Palace.
His men has already set out.
An official road and the water route from South Clan to Megrez are now being heavily guarded by his soldiers.
He now has sent out a batch of his most elite men towards Geya Desert.
I don't know who they plan to assassinate.
Who do you think they want to assassinate?
Hong Ying, you are so smart. This is so clear.
Why ask me?
These past years, Prince Assist has been spending huge money to cultivate his power.
His Highness Crown Prince has also been vigilant.
Now that the two princes are fighting each other, you can grab the opportunity.
I don't understand why your highness doesn't seem to care.
Why should I get involved in their sibling rivalry?
If you're really that broad-minded,
why will you care about the survival of the Crown Prince Wuji in Geya Desert?
Prince Assist has wild ambitions but lacking in intelligence and tactics.
Crown Prince is intelligent and sensible, popular with the public.
If Megrez is given to a rash person,
and he pushes the world into turmoil,
as a royal prince, I can't just watch and do nothing.
Could there be something else in this world other than extreme power that will win a man's heart?
Twenty-seven years ago, in my Zhangsun clan,
I'm the most favorite and powerful prince.
This Megrez royal throne was surely mine.
But I didn't put too much importance on these things that I can easily obtain.
Life is hard and short. If you didn't bring them when you were born, you won't bring them with you when you die.
If you're unable to find a person that knows your heart,
what's the use of giving you the world?
I have found it. I have found that person.
For me...
...she's more important than the world.
Once a person falls in love, he would become hesitant.
I lost the royal throne, and lost the drive to fight.
And I lost my greatest love.
I fear...that in the end,
I might even lose the chance to guard by her side.
The hardest trial to pass in this world is the trial of love.
How am I different?
Zhangsun Jiong arranged you here to win my trust,
to be a pawn to monitor me. You have worked hard.
Your Highness...
My heart... My life has been yours.
Because of that, I don't want to let you continue jumping into this fiery pit.
Once I get dragged into this heir battle, I might not have the time to care about your safety anymore.
Tonight, I will send someone to escort you out of here.
From now on, live a peaceful life.
These were the ones I previously promised you.
10,000 liang of gold and 30,000 of armors, I will never break my promise.
Today, I'm giving them double the amount.
I sincerely want to make friends with you.
Being able to serve Prince Assist is an honor for my Black Tribe Gang.
Your Highness, just instruct me of your plans.
I want you to attack Yao City.
Even if Your Highness don't give the instructions, I can't allow Yao City to exist anymore!
Once you've successfully conquered Yao City,
head east to meet with my men. We will then directly charge into the imperial city together.
After this is over, won't the whole South Clan be yours?
With just a measly Yao City, it's too easy for my Black Tribe Gang to conquer it.
May Your Highness just wait for my victory report on Yao City.
Wuji has been gone for 4 days.
I know you miss him. I miss him too.
What is happening with that rascal now?
[Black Tribe Gang]
What?! The deputy of Yao City is called Fuyao?
That bitch is not dead?
Zhangsun Wuji, you dare to trick me?!
The battle is about to begin. She won't be alive for long.
Not only her, Zhangsun Wuji's life is also in peril.
Spread my command that whoever is able to get the head of the deputy of Yao City, I'll reward him with 10,000 liang gold!
Yes!
We should have taken our arms and annihilate those cruel and evil bandits long ago.
Why did we drag it out until now? Now, there number has increased to several times.
Yao City is an important political fortress, a territorial meeting point of 3 nations. Clutching Yao City
is like clutching the whole western part of the Five Regions.
For a critical area like that, bandits have long been coveting for it.
Before, they colluded with the deputy, so Yao City was already in the bag for them.
Now, with a just deputy serving, how could they endure it?
I fear that this disaster...
Before in Mt. Haoyang (vast/heaven sun), when I saw them mobilizing their army in the middle of the night, I already know that trouble will be coming.
I just thought that
after they were severely beaten last time, it won't happen that fast. Never thought...
So what do we do now?
We have to fight regardless.
It's just that the whole Yao City has only 3,000 soldiers.
The Black Tribe Gang has at least 20,000 to 30,000 men, plus the reinforcements brought by that idiot....
...probably 50,000 men in total.
3,000 against 50,000? How are we going to win this battle?
More importantly, the reserved rations of Yao City is only enough for 5 days.
It's not enough for fighting a war.
If our strength isn't at par, let's first avoid a blunt confrontation.
If the stocks are not enough, let's think of all possible ways to stock up on food.
If the food can only last for 5 days,
let's try our best to end the fight in 5 days.
In front is the Geya Desert. Logically speaking, your Thousand Knights of Upper Yang Palace should have arrived.
Thousand Knights of Upper Yang Palace has never failed their mission.
If they are not here on the agreed time, then there is only one possibility.
I fear that a change has already happened in Megrez.
The chasing army is here. We have no more retreat path. We can only fight to the death.
There's more and less in army strength. There's good and bad armor quality.
But a person mustn't lose his moral courage.
This land is still our Yao City.
Long swords are made to suck blood.
I, Fuyao, will exist together with Yao City!
Exist together with Yao City!
The army of Black Tribe Gang is very near us now.
But our rations can only last for less than 3 days.
Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir (adapt to the situation). Everyone, defend this Yao City with me.
Looks like Zhangsun Pingrong has bet everything on this.
Let us keep him company until the end then.
Killing can happen in just an instant. What's scary isn't the greatness of the fighting skills, but delaying things to deplete the enemy's strength.
If this continues, I fear that we both can't get out of this alive.
Tell me then, what should we do?
Let's divide and conquer.
You take the official road and bring the news of my return to the Secret Guard in Megrez Imperial City.
I will continue with this path. Only by that can you have the chance to survive.
This is...they've all escaped?
The empty city tactic.
Are we going in or not?
Archers!
Shoot your arrows!
[Yao City]
See? There should be no problem.
Tell your men to enter first to confirm the situation. Move slowly.
How come our men get to enter first?
Based on Prince Assist's military order!
Go!
[Yao City]
Attack!
- Charge! - Attack!
Withdraw! Withdraw!
Hurry!
