Episode 36
Sit properly.
Let me ask you a question.
Do you remember who you are?
The two of you can stop calling me Crown Prince from now on.
My name is Lu Guichen, Asule Pasuoer
I am the Crown Prince of Qingyang.
My name is
Asule Pasuoer.
He remembers everything.
Why did you come here?
I remember being in a big palace.
There is a very high level in the palace. When you stand there,
you can look down at the entire capital.
That's the Capitol's Taiqing Palace.
So you remember all that's happened in the Capitol?
Then do you remember who I am?
Who are you?
What about this?
We bought this bracelet in Nanhuai.
Nanhuai?
Hey.
Then do you remember him?
I remember you.
You were wearing
a red armor.
That's right. Anything else?
I don't remember.
The armor is still around.
What does that mean?
Ji Ye.
The house is leaking. Give me a hand.
[Shangyang Pass]
I never thought that...this famous Shangyang Pass,
turns out to be just an isolated city on the wasteland.
This isolated city is exactly the southern gateway from Capital City.
In the past, it was here that Emperor Qingwei Bai Yin,
sacrificed 100,000 elite forces,
and conquered this Pass.
Then, he swiftly marched into Capital City, replaced the old dynasty with a new one.
After passing through the Shangyang Pass, go toward the southeast,
pass the paths of Jianshui and Lancang,
within a month, the Li State can be reached.
But I'm afraid that this journey will not be an easy one.
Lord, an urgent report from Revelation City.
Bring it up here.
Bai Lingbo didn't rush to mount the throne. She is only a regent.
Lord, you now become the grand invader who brought calamity to the whole nation.
A grand invader who brought calamity to the nation.
Such an overbearing title.
Since she forces it upon me,
Then I can only return the favor.
Open the city gate!
Bai Lingbo didn't ascend to the throne.
It is because she doesn't want to cause anymore battles for the throne at this time.
I think, her goal is to gather all the overlords' forces to exterminate you.
The loyal allied forces should be here by now?
The patrol at the front hasn't brought back any news yet.
But to calculate according to the travel distance and the marching speed.
We will likely meet near the Shangyang Pass.
Then let's rely on this pass to battle.
Father, you want to guard the Shangyang Pass?
But our troops are skilled at horseback archery. If staying by the pass to fight,
I worry that it won't play to our troop's advantage.
If it's someone else, even if our troops were in an inferior position.
I will have no fear.
But our opponent is supposed to be Bai Yi.
If there is no Shangyang Pass as a barrier,
I won't have absolute certainty in winning the battle.
Bai Yi?
You mean that Bai Yi known as the Number One General in Eastland? He is coming too?
This is an excellent opportunity to eliminate me. He won't give it up.
Let's go enter the city.
Over night, Ying Wuyi committed regicide.
Bai Lingbo resumed her regency.
All of our envoys died among the chaos.
So we weren't able to get hold of the Princess.
Little Zhou must be in danger.
Bai Lingbo has always treated her as a thorn in her eye.
Please don't be sad, My Lord.
The battle at Correspondence Lake assured me
that Princess is not a child that panics easily.
Even if Revelation City goes through the worst peril, I'm sure she will find a way to survive.
Despite what you say, General,
I am still worried.
Bai Lingbo is extremely hungry for power.
The Emperor did not have children and also did not proclaim a successor.
Bai Lingbo is controlling the capital. It's likely that she is coveting the throne.
In view of the circumstances, I don't think we can continue to stay out of the situation.
Chuwei State should immediately send an army to head toward the capital.
Who can lead the army?
Our army will unavoidably run into
Ying Wuyi who is on his back to Li State.
I, Bai Yi, request to be commissioned
to hurry to Shangyang Pass.
But I know you don't want to get embroiled in the war.
In times of war,
even though I want to protect only one kingdom,
I still can't help but get involved in a war of the world.
I've prepared for many years to face off Ying Wuyi.
Please rest assured, My Lord.
I will definitely find the princess and bring her back safely.
General, everyone says you are the Number One General of Eastland.
In a chaotic era, it really should be your time to rise in fame and valor.
It's Chuwei Stat that has held you back.
My path in life was decided many years ago.
I saw Asule kept holding Little Zhou's hand,
but Little Zhou didn't seem very happy.
So silly and so stupid.
Let me ask you. If there is someone you like,
and you can be with her every day,
but she doesn't know where to put her hand if she doesn't hold yours.
Would you be happy?
Of course, I'd be happy.
Then let me also ask you.
If you knew that when she held your hand,
she thought you were someone else,
would you be happy then?
It's still better to hold holds than not holding at all.
That also sounds right.
Is this good looking?
My mother taught me this when I was a child.
I couldn't sleep well at that time.
Mother would make her own dolls and tell me stories.
I want to keep it and have it around forever.
In the future, I can think of you whenever I see it.
Asule.
This one is me.
And what is this one?
Who is it?
I haven't decided.
You can think of a name, and let it stay with you.
My mother said that this really works. It will ward off troubles for you.
Have you decided?
Bai Zhouyue.
What did you say?
I want to call it Bai Zhouyue.
How did you remember this name?
I think it's someone I know well.
Someone I know very well.
But I can't remember who that is.
Asule.
Actually, I am Bai Zhouyue.
You used to call me Little Zhou.
You are Bai Zhouyue?
My name is Bai Zhouyue,
but everyone calls me Princess Little Zhou.
I'm probably the first one who has received an annulment on the night of the wedding.
Who am I?
Asule.
If you can't remember than don't keep trying to think.
Don't force yourself so much.
But...
But, who am I?
Who you are is not important.
I will always stay with you.
I used to always think that
hot springs can only be found near the volcanoes at Shang Zhou.
In the books, it is written that anywhere where fiery lava has flowed, there will be hot springs.
There are also some in my homeland.
Your homeland?
What is it like there? Tell me about it.
My homeland is already destroyed.
My aunt always talks about restoring homeland, but I never thought of it.
I was still young when I left there.
I've already forgotten anything that happened when I was young.
That's true.
You grew up in South Huai City,
so South Huai is your home.
My home isn't South Huai either.
I was born in Revelation City.
But, I escaped from Revelation City this time.
I'm actually a little glad.
I don't want to go back there again.
South Huai isn't my home.
But I don't have parents so my aunt just took me away.
Are you able to... disobey her?
Don't leave.
Are you stupid?
Even if I were really taken away,
you have two legs, your horse has four legs,
in total you have six legs! You don't know how to look for me?
You're so stupid.
In the past, I thought that South Huai was the best place to be.
However now I actually miss my home.
People must always return home.
Then next time, if you get playful and I can't find you,
then I'll return to South Huai and wait for you.
No way.
No more.
Come, come...
I recently learned a new word.
What word?
Playing a piano to an ox! (T/N: a pointless situation)
You are the ox!
Hurry and pull me!
What are you doing!
Bring me some wine over here.
- Why isn't he coming? - He's here!
Here!
Come over!
Have you ever been to Chuwei?
No, I haven't been there.
I heard that the Lord of Chuwei is a beautiful woman. Eastland is so big,
but it is rare that the lord is a woman.
The world is so big that nothing is to be surprised at.
Each place has its own way of supporting its own inhabitants.
Like here,
amid the chaotic world, there is such a fictitious place of peace and happiness.
Here, village head, a toast to you!
The newlyweds are here!
Look! Quick!
Look at the bride!
The bride is so pretty!
I've let you suffer.
I'm most willing to.
- Go. Let's go! -Let's go and watch.
Such wedding scene,
I've seen it somewhere before.
What comes to your mind?
Nothing.
Quiet! Quiet down!
Today is this young couple's wedding day in our village.
It is also the great rejoicing day in our village.
- Is that right? - Right!
So please be quiet!
Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness!
with a love that is more enduring than gold.
Miss Yu Ran,
we heard that you excel in playing the zither. You must sing well too.
Will you sing a little to help us with our merriment?
Yes, yes.
That... Only my grandpa thinks I'm good in music.
Let's just go dancing.
Miss Yu Ran!
Come over! Come over!
Come over!
I can believe that I could see it again while I'm alive,
this dance.
[Chuwei State's army...]
Uncle, is it good news or bad news?
The good news is that Chuwei State has deployed an army to assist the Emperor, being lead by General Bai Yi.
There is also a bad news.
Ying Wuyi's army reached the foot of Shangyang Pass and stopped.
It appears we are going to play a tug of war.
It's been said that, since ancient times, there are so many bones buried at Shangyang Pass
that they can even block the Jian River. This is going to be a hard war.
Uncle, haven't you thought of avoiding it?
Avoid?
I can already smell the Celestial Ministry.
Uncle, you mean that
the changes in the capital are manipulated by the Celestial Ministry?
Within just days, the emperor died,
Ying Wuyi marches out, First Princess resumes regency,
and the nobles and ministers are slaughtered in the capital.
No one has figured out the truth about this drastic change.
The devious machination has made me think of the Celestial Ministry.
We've always talked about chaos, but chaos has arrived.
Chaos is what the Celestials love the most.
But, we don't even know where the real enemies are.
But we still have to go to the banquet.
In the banquet of chaos,
our names are already written on the invitations.
Although this barrier looks old and dilapidated,
it's original foundation is still strong.
The foundation of this wall is 50 chi (55 ft) thick and 75 chi (82 ft) tall.
There are 72 wells of spring water for us to drink.
Our provisions can also last three months.
For hundreds of years, the royal family has been repairing this old barrier fort.
Surprisingly, we are the ones that get to use it now.
But, you still look worried, My Lord.
Is this Bai Yi rally so fearsome?
Bai Yi is a lone general.
By that I mean he can lead a single army to break though the enemy, and is full of unmatched courage
with a lonely personality.
We must take extra caution in fighting against someone like him.
Reporting!
My Lord,, as reported by the scouts, Chun State, Cheng State, Xiu State, and Lower Tang's united army
is now camped at 45 miles from Shangyang Pass.
I've heard.
Camped at 45 miles from Shangyang Pass?
They must be waiting for Bai Yi.
I am Lower Tang's Commanding General, Xi Yan.
General Gang Wuwei has guarded Xiu State for 30 years.
I've heard that General Fei is adept at surprise schemes.
In this war, all the famous generals from Eastland are gathered here.
I'm sure even Ying Wuyi would feel honored if he heard.
If all these acclaimed generals
would let Ying Wuyi get away, how embarrassing that will be for the royal family and various states?
First Princess secretly sent the Iron Certificates
saying the Heavenly Samurai Regiment bewitched the emperor.
Now that His Majesty has died, the Heavenly Samurai Regiment
has also disappeared to almost none left. We are the ones left to fight Li State.
Will we really kill Ying Wuyi here?
Of course, we vassal states
officially are still Great Yin's subjects.
If we let go of the Emperor's killer,
it would look appropriate for a subject to do.
That's why we brought our armies here. Isn't it to do what subjects are supposed to do?
Ying Wuyi is a fierce leader.
His neighboring states have been suppressed by his army.
Even the northern states also feel worried
when they hear about his troops' movement.
If Ying Wuyi is not eliminated, all the states will be overshadowed by his military dominance.
And right now is the best opportunity.
So, everyone,
we are hungry wolves. As we face a powerful lion,
We must forget about our grudges with each other and work as one.
If Ying Wuyi is the lion,
and we are the hungry wolves,
it's not too belittling.
What lion and wolves. I only know that Shangyang Pass is 45 miles ahead of us.
Tomorrow, we can united together and reach Shangyang Pass.
What, are you not waiting for General Bai Yi anymore?
You can say that General and I are old friends.
He has always liked showing up late.
But if I did not guess wrong,
General Bai Yi should be at Shangyang Pass already.
I have not seen you in 7 years.
You have not changed a bit.
I have gotten older. My hair is starting to turn white.
It seems so looking at you in the heavy armor. Time is really heartless.
Time hasn't been easy on you, either. We can still do battles now, but what about later?
You are just overthinking.
It's not that I am overthinking. It's that I have to think about it. I received your letter.
It is hard for the armies of 5 countries to come together as one heart.
- It's better to fight separately. - Old Bai.
You know about Shangyang Pass's terrain.
In this 300 li wide plain, never mind 70,000 people,
even 700,000 people will be of no help.
But if 5 countries combine forces and you lead them, I can bet that
there's a 50% chance Ying Wuyi will die here.
Do you really wish for Ying Wuyi to die?
Me?
I would rather have you live a bit longer.
Old Xi, don't tell me you don't understand this principle.
Even if this battle ends and we present Ying Wuyi's head, will the Eldest Princess forgive us?
Once First Princess wins the throne, the first one that she'll send her army to fight against will be Chuwei.
Of course I know.
I also know that you came for Princess Little Zhou.
However, Old Bai, you have to know that only if we join the forces of 5 countries,
can you truly protect Little Zhou and prevent her from being hurt again.
South Huai's autumn roses, which I bought at the market before I came.
We both like flowers.
I believe that you should know what to do next.
Miss, you can just put that over there.
Let me help you.
No need. I'm almost done tying it.
Besides, the wife of Village Chief said that you have to tie your own wish for it to work.
I think that as long as it's heartfelt, all wishes will come true.
But Princess, how come you believe in this despite all the books you've read?
Stop calling me "Princess". You can just call me "Little Zhou".
After what's happened these past few days, I think it's not important what you believe in.
This chaotic world can ruin anything in a moment.
Don't be so pessimistic! Look, we're living just fine.
Hey, what did you wish for earlier?
Never mind. I'll tell you mine.
I wished that Asule, Jiye, and I
will live well forever and be friends forever.
I wished that Asule can get better quickly
and peacefully endure through this chaotic world and never be hurt again.
And then?
Nothing else?
Are you stupid? How can you make a wish and not include yourself?
Let me ask you.
Is Asule really that important to you?
Yes.
Actually, in the beginning, I always suspected you. I thought you were just using him.
Then I discovered, you never had any evil intents and even took care of him.
Otherwise, I would have already ripped to into pieces.
You're right. I took him to the Capital City without his agreement.
And I even used his role as the Lead Chief of the Heavenly Samurai. But it was only to help my brother.
You're pretty honest.
But I didn't think that I would start liking him.
Let me tell you, I noticed way earlier that you liked him. It's right that you like him!
You know, Asule is quite talented.
You, an Eastland Princess, and him, a Northland Crown Prince,
you two are the perfect pair!
Sister Xiaoyue, there's new colors of the thread you wanted. The village leader told me to deliver it.
What is this used for?
Asule's memory has signs of recovery. I want to make him some more dolls and tell him stories.
What's wrong? Why did you come here?
There's someone there.
Brother Crown Prince, forgive us. Forgive us!
Who are you? Why do you want me to forgive you?
Why is it you two? You— Shouldn't you be—
Sister Little Zhou, we came to apologize to Brother Crown Prince.
That day, we were out buying things and escape the slaughter. When we returned,
we saw that there were corpses all over the ground. We were so scared we ran away to save our lives.
Then, we ran all the way here. We didn't expect that
- we would meet you. - Sister Little Zhou, we always wanted to apologize to Brother Crown Prince.
Actually, that day, after we stabbed him, we regretted right away. Brother Crown Prince's face haunts our dreams every night.
That day... It was you two that day?
Right now, do you want to stab him again?
Sister Little Zhou, Brother Crown Prince, we know we have committed a great sin.
We don't dare to beg for our lives.
- Does apologizing now do anything? - Little Zhou.
Even though I still can't remember what happened earlier, I recognize you two.
You aren't bad people. It must have been hard to flee to this place.
Take some food and leave.
Find a comfortable place to settle down. Forget the all that's in the past. Grow up well.
Let's go.
