Sister.
Brother, you were right about this.
All the courtiers came today.How about Brother Ji?
Deputy Commander put him in the county cells.
He will ask for a pardon for him.
Sister, don't worry.
I saw the citizens are excited todayand all support Deputy Commander and Brother Ji.
I think Prime Minister will not kill Brother Ji for the sake of citizens
I'm still concerned
Cao Cao is not a soft person
How can he be merciful on a person like this?
If something really happens to Brother Ji,
I will die with him.
Zhong Da
What's the matter?Tell me honestly
Is that pillar of the Deputy Commander's related to you?
I gave the idea to him
You are out of your mind
How can you intervene with Prime Minister's family issue?
It's not only a family issue of Prime Minister
but is also a family issue to me.
Both Master Ji and Deputy Commander saved our family
We, of course, need to save them.How? How can you save a person that Prime Minister wants to kill?
You got balls, now.
You thought Yang Xiu will ignore this?
He can put you in danger speaking a few words to Prime Minister
I'm talking to you
Brother, Prime Minister will not be manipulated by others easily
I bet he is a hero
Have some porridge, please
Sister.
Why none of them have some faith in me?
I believe in you, brother.
It's still warm. The kitchen still has some.
These two characters
Elaborate
Everyone is afraid of Prime Minister
Prime Minister is not afraid of anyone
What he is protecting in his mind
is the heart of people
And these two characters are the key to people's hearts
My father
walked out of blood and flames
During the battle of Xu Zhou, Tao Qian killed my grandffather
My father is angry at Xu Zhou
Killed everyone in that city
How would he change just for these two characters?
Please see through
Look at what Prime Minister's ambition is
Prime Minister in the old days was just a general
Disaster came upon his family and he acted aggressively
Prime Minister, now, is a different person
He conquered the Central Plains
He is building up armies and even tries to march south
His ambition is bigger than Liu Bei and Sun Quan
His mind is occupied by the whole nation now
What my father wants is the whole nation
He, then, must consider the heartof normal citizens and use humane policies
This is your speculation
If he does this for Zi Jian
He acted on impulse again.What should I do?
Then, he is stepping the same path of Yuan Shao
He will not unite the nation
Your ambition can not be fulfilled either
You don't need to be a crown prince, then
How dare you
I‘m a timid person
but you are bolder
Not to act boldly
but to think boldly
Think through what your father wants
Not only think through His Majesty
but also think through his weakness
It's on curfew today
How dare you walk around at night
Why not?
I dare break into the house of Deputy Commander,
I dare not to walk on the street?
Are all people from Si Ma family bold?
Sit
I'm not a family member
I'm who I am
I'm Guo Zhao
I know
Are you cold?No
You don't need to lie to me
I hunted this fox and made this myself
It's very warm
Sometimes,
we lie
to keep our dignity
You knew about Ji Bu?
Do you think Ji Bu
should be executed or not?
If this is about the law
then we should kill him
But you cannot kill him
Why is that?
It's reasonable for forgive himbut he should not be spared under the law
This is one
Secondly,
Brother promised not to kill Ji Buin order to let him turn himself in
If you kill Ji Bu
then you, brother, will be a guilty man to the nation
Zi Jian
You have a great heart
I'm happy about this
but it's not enough to master politicswith just a great heart
I know what you mean
I also understand your love
I want to fulfill your ambition following you
But brother didn't do anything wrong on this
We can't let brother innocently suffer
Even though I can gain from this
I don't deserve to be your son
Come on
What kind of night is thisthat I can meet such a beautiful person?
I never expected you to be by my side for this last night
It's warm
A Weng
Let's head back
My lady, didn't you say you wantedto bring warm clothes to the prince?
He will come home after he finishes his job
I will not bother him right now
Yes
Let's leave
Prime minister, Registrar Yang and Secretary Ding want to meet
They come to my door this early
They can't wait on this, can they?
Never mind. I will meet them
A Man, are you going to kill Ji Bu?
What do you think?
Just a small agent from the investigation bureau,
doesn't even have a formal title,
is he so important that you two need to come to my door?
Prime Minister, Deputy Commander revealedthis matter to the public
All the courtiers saw this as well
If you don't kill Ji Bu, then,there are no principles and laws within this country
It's a special time right now.We need to have strict principles so that we can...
... control the soldiers well.
Since you are so concerned with this,
you can come with me and see what will happen.
What is the situation right now?
Why are you playing this five-animal kung fuand not hurrying up?
Where are we going?To the execution ground and saving Brother Ji!
You and I, we should not go there at this time
It will bring more chaos to this event.
Can't we just wait here?
Let's go.Zhang Chun Hua.
Why are you so upset when it comes to Ji Bu?
What did you just call me?
I am sorry
What did you just call me?I was wrong, darling.
I'm sorry, darling.
Please remind me, in what you have told meto do in all these years,
when have I failed?
If Master Ji really dies or something really happens to him,
you can punish me, then.
Please calm down
Don't be angry, darling.
How can I calm down with what is happening to Brother Ji?
Please, take a seat.
Although I can't swing a sword nor carry firewood
I have been particular on all the things.
When have I been wrong, before?
Don't worry
as we will hear good news, soon.
Right, you should push this a bit.
The further you push, the further I can see.
Push me higher
I can then see what is in the city.
Everyone in the city is begging for Master Ji.
Plus, this will calm you down, too.
Darling, that night, you and Brother Ji,
did you really sleep in separate rooms?
Sorry! I misspoke, darling.
If Brother Ji doesn't come back safe,
you can stay on this swing forever!
Don't push me anymore.
I will push you to death.I can see Prime Minister's home if you keep pushing me.
Prime Minister is here
Stand up
I remember one thing.
When I marched to a wheat field back then,
I ordered the soldiers not to damage those fields.
Anyone who did that will be executed.
Therefore, all the soldiers got offtheir horses and walked through the wheat field.
Unexpectedly, my horse went into the field
and destory some young wheat.I broke my own laws.
If I didn't get punished,
how do I meet the people?
I wanted to kill myself but the citizensand all the generals and officers begged me not to do so.
Therefore, I cut my hair to replace the head.
Today, Ji Bu breaks the law.
A nation has strict laws:
Releasing the traitor is the same crime of treason itself.
If I don't kill him, it will undermine our laws.
However, he released a dutiful sonand turned himself in.
If we kill him, thenit's a violation of humanity and justice.
This reminds me that
I still owe a life towards this world.
Today, all of you want me to spare Ji Bu.
I will return this life to you
as well as sparing a life of a righteous man.
I thank for Prime Minister's kindness!
You have to receive punishment for your disobedience
50 lashes for Ji Bu
and he will be sent to work in investigation bureau.
With all the combat skills and humanity on you,
they should be used to protectthe nation as well as the citizens.
Bear in mind.
I didn't give back your life.
It's all the people in this nation who spared you.
Long live the Prime Minister!
Thank you, Father.
You have given me an opportunity, today.
And yet you just want to let melisten to you thanking me?
I dare not.
All the people here
will admire you after this event.
You've grown up now and can compete with me.
Don't push me anymore.
Please stop, darling.
Brother!
Shu Da!
How did it go?
Prime Minister didn't kill Ji Bu.
Do you hear that? Brother Ji is safe!
Please, let me down now, darling.
My head is spinning.
Shu Da,
tell me again.
Prime Minister didn't execute Ji Bu.
This time, you are right.
Darling, you don't trust me all the time.
Yeah, yeah. You are the best. I blamed you wrongly.
Everyone in the city was touched by the Prime Minister's speech and lie prone to the ground.
He definitely would have this thought out.
Otherwise, he won't be able to unite the whole nation.
Zhang Chun Hua.
What did you call me?
I called you, Zhang Chun Hua.
I'm hungry right now.
Sure, I will cook you dinner.
What you are thinking about
has been hero saving the beauty.But please remember, I saved the hero this time.
Prisoner Ji Bu thanks Prime Minister's kindness.
You can cut these craps now.
Let me ask you who gave you the idea...
Tell me the truth.
If you tell me the truth,I will put you in an important position.
If you deceive me
and I find out the person myself,
he will die for certain.
What do you mean?I thought
I'm not suitable for this job and I wantto use that token to exchange for one person.
It's the fellow who helped you set upthe pillar of humanity and justice.
Yes
I told you before that
if you can capture Ji Bu,
you can remain in charge of investigation bureau.
We should be fair on this.
I will not bully you and don't pretendthat you are treated unfairly in front of me.
As for that person...
Have you heard about
a horse called Di Lu?
Yes, I did.
It used to be the ride of Zhang Wu.That horse has a tear trace under its eye.
A white spot in forehead,meaning it will hurt its master.
Zhang Wu also died because of this horse.I have seen this horse.
It's a really good horse.
Liu Bei gave this horse to me but I didn't take it.
What a pity
What he did to help you today
will become means of bringing you down tomorrow.
Don't worry, I think I can handle this horse.
Well, then.
Bring him out of the stable.
Yes.
We are both have no way out of this.
We shouldn't continue to stand downif there is no way out.
I will not become a servant to anyone.
I don't need a servant.
I want a friend that teaches me.
Do you still remember the two charactersyou gave me? Please don't forget.
Confucious said there is no excuse not to takethe responsibility of humanity and goodness.
Are you good at riding?
I can try.
Deputy Commander, the road is steep at this altitude.
We shouldn't ride this fast.
You knew the mountain is high and it's riskytherefore, you are a discrete person.
Why do you still follow me?I will follow you 'til my death.
We, two, are the people who walk on the steep mountain.
Rather than worrying about falling off the mountain,
we should try our best to climb to the mountaintop.
Climbing at this glorious period,
I'm willing to follow youand see this beautiful country.
I'm willing to follow youand fly high with you.
What do we have for lunch?
You are going to have big feast at Cao Pi's manor.
What do you care what we have for lunch?I will leave after I eat here.
Eat outside.
Eat delicious food and discuss important things.
No matter how important the thing is,food there is not better than the food at home.
When does the flower of pakchoi seedlings bloom?
I don't know.
It's delicious.
You said it yourself,
Cao Cao will not let Deputy Commander become the crown prince.
You helping Cao Pi is far more terriblethan serving Cao Cao himself.
You become an enemy to him.
All the lands in this nation belongs to the King.
Within this country, all people are courtiers to the King.
My biggest ambition as a scholar,
is to find a good King to serve and help him.
Maybe, we can even end the war of all.
But you have promised me...
You will never intervene with the affairs in the court.Do your legs not hurt anymore?
Our little family in this special time
is like a small boat in the ocean.
The wind and the rain are heavy.
How can we live safely under these conditions?
Even if our generation can survive all these,
what about our children?
Is the blossoming of the pakchoi seedling flower very fast?
No idea.
It bloomed!
It's so swift.
I don't perceive what the world is like out there,
nor do I want to know what this world become in the future.
I only want you.
All the time, all my life.
Being safe all throughout.
If anything happens to you,
this bright sky of this family
will fall.
The only thing I want in my whole life
is to let you hold my ears in your hands.
We congratulate Deputy Commander for managingto get over with recent incidents.
Congratulate Zhong Da for becomingthe Secretary of Literature.
Thank you
Prince Han had four talents from Shang Shan
then he united the nation. Right now,Deputy Commander had four friends like us.
General Cao offered a lot of help here, too.Now there's the same four of us.
We don't need to worry whether we can unite the nation.
Today, we will drink winesand will not talk about politics.
I brought a lot of troubles to you all.
I will toast to thank you all.
Cheers!
Zi Dan
Look who is toasting to you here
Sorry I didn't treat you right back on that day, General.
I apologize here.
One cup is not enough.
Three cups of wine, at least.
Right, at least three cups of wines.
No problem.
This is one.
Bravo
Zi Dan
Back on that day,
Zhong Da did all those for me.
I will have a sword dance for you later. What do you think?
If we want to drink,
don't be a sissy like that.
I will accept your apologiesif you use this to drink.
How about we share these two bottles of wine?
You get through this, we definitelyshould drink as much as we like.
But I only drink this bottleof wine with Si Ma Yi.
Si Ma Yi.
Well...
Si Ma Yi.
You bear this and don't scream.
I haven't cut you.
Let me help you with this.
You are really a house man.
Endure this a bit.
After finishing this bottle,
I will talk to you.
Bottoms up.
Come on.
Please, tell me what you want to say.
Si Ma Yi, as a general,
what I hate most
is someone hanging a blade to my neck.
But you did that to me.
I will tolerate this,
I will tolerate this for Zi Huan.
But I warn you,
if you dare to hurt Zi Huan one day,
I will cut off your head and use it as a cup.
General,
since I drink up this winecontaining your blood,
I will not ever fail Deputy Commanderfor my whole life.
Bravo!
This is what a real man should say.
Right.
I have a brother and friend at my side.
I want no more
in my whole life.
Let's drink!
Zhong Da, have a seat.
Shall I dance for you?
Zi Huan
I saw your sword dance many times.I want to see the dance of Si Ma Yi badly, today.
What do you say, Si Ma Yi?
Allow me to drink a second bottle of wine
and I will dance with general.
I never realized you are good at drinking.
Why do you come here?I'm worried someone might get drunk.
I sent over some soup.Indeed, there is one drunk person.
But I don't think he can drink anything, anymore.
I never saw you this happy for a long time.
I have nothing to repay you serving my husband.
This hot soup
is simple.
Thank you, Madam.
It's all because of you.
Zhong Da.
You still owe me a bottle of wine.I told you he is a loser.
What else can he do if he can't drink?
Thank you, Madam.
It's our duty to serve the prince.
Zi Dan,
let get over with this.
I will drink this with you.
We are brothers, we don't need to say these.
I will do whatever you say.
It's all in the wine.
Thank you, Madam.
Si Ma Yi!
He is totally unconscious.
Thank you for all your help.
Thank you, Madam.
Toast to my best brothers
Chang Wen
Gong Gan
Ji Zhong
and my best brother among all,
Zi Dan.
Let me toast you.
We won't leave until we are drunk today.
I will leave now.
Sister-in-law, take care.
How can you be so absurd like this?
Those are your friends and subordinates
Letting your wife meet guests is normal.
But how can you let them raise uptheir heads and see your wife?
Mother.
This will be a joke to our family.
You have no concept of manners and respect.
I knew I did something wrong
Who were at the feast that day?
No matter who, they can't do this anymore.
Do you understand?Yes.
Who raised up his headand saw Zhen Fu directly?
Who?
You will not say so I won't know, then?
Father, I am sorry.
Please, just punish me.
They just lost their manners after getting drunk.
Liu Zhen has a bad reputation on women.
Punish him by sending him to be a workeron the fields for a year.
Wu Zhi will be demoted to bea county officer in Zhao Ge.
Father,
they just
they went beyond their positions.
Please stand up, dear.
Don't put the mirror on my bed anymore.
Why don't you come for me, instead?
What are you talking about?
