Is there any other memorials to be remarked?
My Lord is diligent and all memorials have been marked
Army of Liang is quite restless lately
Blessing has descended upon My Lord
The army of Liang seems to be strong and powerful, but is just vulnerable and weak
It's bound to be defeated by your army
Put away your flattery
I wanna know what you really think
My Lord, please forgive me if I say something wrong
Shoot
Although My Lord has a strong army and good horses, but My Lord is short of...
A general
My Lord is wise
So you say, now Prince's Supervisor is gone, who else is suitable to this role?
Well, I guess My Lord already has a candidate in mind
What about King Ning?
I'm afraid I can't make any wild guess
You are used to guessing what I think, aren't you?
Well, go ahead
My Lord, King Ning has built his own prestige, so it is not a problem to lead the army
But as Cha Luo said, if he's de facto in charge of both Gui Hua City and the imperial court
then it would be a threat to My Lord
This way please
Whoa almost there
Here I am
Come catch me
Almost there
Yue Ying, stop it
Your Majesty
Stop what?
You spoil it
All right, rise, all of you
My brother, your man just ruined my show
You know, I was meditating on the memorials during the show
My Lord, Yue Ying was in a hurry to save Your Majesty
and she didn't know it
May Your Majesty spare her mistake
Is your name Yue Ying?
I know you
Well, you're good
And you saved me just in time.
I am ashamed, please forgive me, Your Majesty.
My brother, could you allow Yue Ying to be my servant?
She could save me when I am in trouble
Your Highness, Yue Ying is not my servant
Instead, she's the one that I need to take care of for my mother's sake
Alright
I'm just kidding
Rise, please
Thank you, Your Majesty
I was wondering why I was called in all of a sudden
I am going to discuss with you about the army of Liang's invasion to Lu Zhou
Does Your Majesty have any plan?
Yes
I am preparing personal expedition
Your Majesty, I don't think it's an option
Why?
As people just start to have the sense of belonging
I think the imperial court won't work without Your Majesty's present
This is a war that is worth fighting for
Facing with such an dangerous war, if I stay here while Prince's Supervisor is dead, who can handle it?
There is another candidate
Oh? Who is it?
Me
It's sent by the emperor
It's been years that I didn't have a chance to armor up and ride on the war-horse
I've been waiting too long for this day
But the King didn't send the commander's seal but just 3,000 Imperial Guards for you to deal with the Lu Zhou problem
That was my idea
The army of Liang was sent in a hurry, so all I need to do is cut off his supply, and the army would surely return home
3,000 men may not be enough to help but it will show my value to My Lord if I could get it worked
Yue Ying believes in Prince
Prince will win this battle
Prince seems to be worried
It's good to get closer to my goal
But His Majesty asked me to hand over something in return
What is it?
Gui Hua City
Prince, are you really giving up Gui Hua City?
Gui Hua City or the commander's seal, which one would you pick?
The commander's seal
Go get ready
If I do succeed, I will surly go back to Gui Hua City myself and withdraw from Ting Zhou House
Yes
Rise, pleases
I have summoned you all here today to witness who will be the next Jue Sha
Wan Xiang, Wan Mei, you two will compete for it, and the winner takes the role
Do you have any objection?
No
Good
Master Xing, announce the rules
You two draw lots
There're names on the note that indicate whose red devil umbrella of the dead that you should obtain
Whoever gets the umbrella and land first will be the winner
Time limit for the competition will be within one burning incense
During the test, you can't land halfway, or you'll lose
Is this for Wan Xiang?
Okay, let's see
Wan Xiang need to obtain Su Qiu's umbrella
And Wan Mei has to obtain the umbrella of Liu Guang
Light the incense
Let's do it
Chief, Wan Mei got the red devil umbrella of Liu Guang
How is that possible?
Let me see
Chief
She broke the rules and I beg to have another chance
I did neither land halfway nor drop my umbrella on the ground
Don't be ridiculous
However, you have no proof but have the audacity to encourage Chief to break her promise
This could be a huge crime
Lady Wan Xiang, even if you fail, you're still Tian Sha
You may have another chance in the future
Good
Wan Mei is the winner of today's competition
Chief, I was wondering if I could hang up Liu Guang's red devil umbrella now?
Sure
In the autumn of Tianyou Year 19, Li Siyuan, King Ning, led 3,000 Imperial Guards to march on Luzhou
They cut off food supply of the army of Liang and then defeated the army of Liang within half a day by taking the advance of fog
He dealt with Luzhou problem thereof
Your Majesty, King Ning is here
Your Majesty
Rise
Thank you, Your Majesty
My brother, I'm gonna award you for your great contribution
It's all credited to Your Majesty's blessing, not me
How modest you are
What do you think of being the Great General of Northern Imperial Guards?
Thank you Your Majesty
From today on, I will surly do everything to train them and make them become the strongest army in order to protect Your Majesty
Do you still remember what you promised?
Of course
I will set off to Gui Hua City with Yue Ying right away and pack everything
Chief Cha Luo showed her loyalty to me previously but I didn't give her any promise
Now please give her the Lotus Token
And bring her a message that Gui Hua City could borrow money and soldiers from the local governments when it runs errands for me
Whoever refuses to do so is doomed to death
Yes, Your Majesty
Prince
Chief is still at rest
You cannot just burst in
Prince
Er Yue, it's fine
Why are you in a hurry?
What do you want?
Did you show your loyalty to His Majesty earlier?
Yes
So what
Gui Hua City is under my control and you only work for me
How dare you
Prince
From now on, I am no longer the Prince of Ting Zhu in Gui Hua City but King Ning of Jin
What do you mean?
Cha Luo, the Chief of Gui Hua City, now takes the order from His Majesty
Whoever has this token takes charge of Gui Hua City
From now on, Gui Hua City only works for the imperial court
Whoever has this token can borrow money and soldiers from the local governments and kill those who refuse to do so
Cha Luo understands it
I already delivered the token and the message
Now I am going to pack my things at Ting Zhu House and leave Gui Hua City in seven days
Congratulations, Chief
She will be here
She's just a little stubborn and hasn't made up her mind
She doesn't want to see me after all
Are you waiting for me to say goodbye, Prince?
I wish it's just for the time being
I will be back if you become the Chief
I'm not quite sure if I could make it
You can do it
I still remember the first time that I met you was here enjoying your music, right beside the Wang Sheng Pool
At that moment, I knew you were born to be something extraordinary
I am just like everybody else
The reason why I come to this day is that I have been pushed by the fate
It's true
But you have some extraordinary capabilities that could get you through difficulties
I guess everyone would try everything to get out of the difficulties
I can let you go if you want
I'm afraid that I will disappoint you if I really want to leave
After all, I am just a stepping stone to your ambition
What about Chang An?
Is there anything to do with him?
He names himself King of Chu after occupying Jiang City
That's good
But I guess he doesn't wanna do it
What he does now is the same as me
But why is it different in your mind?
He won't look down on me, waiting for me for ask for anything
He will do anything he can, even at the cost of his life, for me to achieve my goal
So he's nothing like you at all
Anyway, I'd greatly appreciate for what you have done for me
I will be on my own from now on
Wan Mei
Prince, it's time to let go
Like what I said before, I want to become the Chief and choose to stay in Gui Hua City
I'm doing this is not for you
I'm doing this is to help those living in Gui Hua City get rid of Cha Luo
I don't want anybody die for nothing
Take care
Everybody is here
I wanna ask you all that if you still remember that an assassin tried to kill me three years ago
Yes
Thank God, I finally find out who did it
Wan Mei, come here
Wan Mei, you're a smart girl
Do you know who it is?
I am not smart enough to figure out who it is
I only know that whoever did it would be either a dead man or someone that will die
Then you are wrong
This man is still alive and got away from Gui Hua City earlier
He was your shadow, Chang An
It's Chang An
How calm you are
He was your shadow back then
So he's the murderer and you were the mastermind
I am innocent
I came to Gui Hua City three years ago because Chief showed mercy and adopted me
How could I possible plan to assassinate Chief?
Even though you were not behind it, you must have something to do with it
He's your shadow and you two stuck together after all
It might be true that Chang An and I stuck together
But we were apart at night
If I remember it right
I was serving Prince at Ting Zhu House at that night
Chief went to Ting Zhu House and saw me there staying with Prince
Do you mean I am framing you?
I am innocent
I beg Chief could tell it
Chief, sister Wan Mei is loyal to Gui Hua City
I beg Chief to think twice
What are you all doing?
Are you going to overthrow me?
I am still the Chief of Gui Hua City
If you're going to overthrow me, then come on
Wan Mei, it's yet to tell whether you told Chang An to murder the Chief
But considering Chang An was your shadow when he did it, you are accused of neglect of duty
Do you plead guilty?
Yes
Alright, now I announce that Wan Mei allowed her shadow to murder the Chief out of the neglect of duty
Though death penalty can be spared, Wan Mei cannot get away from punishment
Come take her under arrest and I will punish her later
Yes
Lady Wan Mei, it's impossible to tell whether you told Chang An to execute the assassination
But it's your neglect of duty that allowed him to do so
So I have to take ten poisonous blood insects out of you as a punishment
It would be extremely painful
Are you ready?
The punishment is to take away poisonous blood insects from her
Master Xing is very thoughtful
Such a punishment can both remove her threat to me and make her suffer, right?
Yes
What do you know?
Get out
Yes
Oh my dear Xing Feng
You really wanna keep Wan Mei alive by all means
It's not easy to live with me at Gui Hua City
What are you doing?
We're sent to take something from lady Wan Mei
We won't hurt her
What thing?
Lady Wan Mei's blood
Oops, it's oversize
What's it
It's the pled for help from Wan Mei to King Ning
What do you think?
Do you think Prince would believe or come over to save Wan Mei?
Neither
Now that I have bullied his girl
It would be a waste if not letting him know it
Would you think that I am shallow by doing it?
It's fine as long as you please
Tell me how Wan Mei is doing
I took ten poisonous blood insects from her
Her inner strength has been reduced and she cannot use the poisonous blood insects to strengthen her power anymore
Are you telling me that she means no threat to me anymore and I should make easy on her?
She reminds me of what you were like when you was young
You already used such kind of words to fool me to release Chang An
I won't fall for it again
His Majesty still has doubt on me
His Majesty sent me to suppress the rebellion at Jiang City
How many men you could use?
Five hundred
After Chang An announced to be the King
A lot of people have joined his team
Now he may have almost ten thousands of supporters
More than that
What's more, those five hundred men are just some strong men from the local
I'm afraid none of them is capable of fighting in a war
His Majesty wants you dead
His Majesty said that Zhuge Liang used an army of two thousands of men to deal with Cao Cao's army of ten thousands of men
So His Majesty sends me an army of five hundreds of men with an intention to see whether I have that kind of talent
There's one more thing
I wasn't going to show you this but it might be easier to deal with considering the current situation
This is not written by Wan Mei
But it's definitely her blood
Why don't we go back to Gui Hua City and save her first?
I don't think we need to
You send someone to deliver this letter to Jiang City
Cha Luo happens to give me a favor this time
How could the blood letter be true?
It must be a trick to lure you into it
Though it's not written by Wan Mei
It must be written with her blood
Or I won't feel heartache when it's with me
What can you do even if it's true?
We got more than ten thousands of people here
We fight with each other so to continue the imperial hope that lasts for over a hundred of years
We are doing it for the people
Are you really gonna give it up for those few bloody words?
You cannot leave, Xie Huan
We're just getting started in Jiang City
If you leave like this
Then all our efforts and hope will be in vain
You must stay
I am begging you
Don't go
Forget it
I've been holding on for too long
And I try everything I got
I am tired
I will leave everything to you alone
I am sorry
I will be watching over you somewhere
I will be waiting for you to rejuvenate the glory of Empress Wu
