(Yuzhou Island, Liang)
How did it go?
I managed to obtain some information.
Ci arrived here not long after we left.
She spoke to a fortune teller
and headed for Yueluo after that.
Why was she heading to Yueluo?
I'm worried that it might be a trap.
No matter what,
I have to go to Yueluo for now.
Here.
Have some flatbread.
Thank you.
It's fine.
Everything will be fine.
Here. Have some flatbread.
Thank you, Miss.
- This is for you.
- Thank you.
Thank you, Miss.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
Miss, I'm hungry.
I want meat.
This is for you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Miss.
Thank you, Miss.
Don't mention it.
Eat slowly.
Here.
Young Master,
we've suffered heavy casualties.
If Lu Yu attacks us again,
the city will definitely fall.
City Lord Hong has already
died in battle.
The Yueluo Tribe is leaderless.
Our morale is low.
We're disorganized.
They're over there!
What are you guys up to?
This man
is the cause of everything!
We're going to kill him
to console the souls of the dead!
- That's right!
- Kill him!
What has Lu Yu's attack
got to do with Young Master?
Why would there be a war
if he didn't return in the first place?
Xiao Wuxia,
you're just like your father.
You'll only land Yueluo in trouble.
Kill him
and avenge City Lord Hong!
- Kill him!
- Kill him!
- Avenge the city lord!
- Kill him!
You shall repay the blood debt
that Xiao Haitian had owed.
You can take your own life.
Take it
as repayment for your father's kindness.
Do you think
you can resolve the crisis
by killing him?
You're his wife.
Of course you'll speak up for him.
If that were the case,
I only needed to be concerned
about his safety.
He wouldn't need to come back at all
if he weren't trying to catch the spy
lurking here.
It's because he's trying
to save Yueluo.
If not, he could've left
when he discovered the Zhenyuan Army.
You guys are heartbroken
because of your shattered families.
But this is his home too.
Now,
the city is filled with sorrow.
Everyone thinks that Yueluo
will definitely fall.
When Lu Yu attacks the city again,
all of us
will face demise.
What do you plan to do, then?
If you don't want Yueluo
to be wiped out,
you guys better engage Lu Yu in battle.
No matter what happens,
I will stand by Yueluo
through thick and thin.
I don't believe you.
Today,
I've made a blood pact.
You guys can do whatever you want to me
after Lu Yu is defeated.
I won't shirk my responsibilities.
Hong Jie,
I've discussed this
with the other two elders.
Tonight,
we'll hold a cremation
for City Lord Hong.
Who said you could
make the decision on my behalf?
Nothing pleasant happened
ever since your return.
My father only died
because you came back.
He trusted you.
He defended you with everything he had.
He thought you could protect
the entire tribe!
In the end, you couldn't
even protect him!
Scram.
You and your men better scram!
Scram.
Do you wish to keep this up?
If you do,
what will happen
to the people of Yueluo?
I hope that you can
pull yourself together.
You said you wanted to be
Yueluo City's city lord.
You want your tribe members
to lead a peaceful life, don't you?
Are you giving up just like that?
My father had also contributed his life
to protect what Uncle tried to protect.
City lord is more than just a title.
You also need to inherit
the spirit of Yueluo.
My father hoped that I could do it.
Similarly,
Uncle hoped that you could do it too.
Hong Jie.
You're going to be
the city lord in the future.
Uncle is still waiting for you
to lead the people of Yueluo
and rise from the ground.
The moon above.
My father, Hong Ye,
had always been an honest
and upright person.
But the heavens are cruel,
and our wishes are unfulfilled.
He sacrificed his life
to protect Yueluo.
At least it's a worthy end.
The road to the afterlife is long.
Although we're separated
by life and death,
City Lord Hong's will is still with us.
The people of Yueluo
will surely follow in his footsteps.
We swear to live and die
with Yueluo!
- We will follow in his footsteps!
- We will follow in his footsteps!
- We swear to live and die with Yueluo!
- We swear to live and die with Yueluo!
Father,
I'll protect Yueluo.
Aren't you stopping me
when I'm running away from home?
If you truly intended to do so,
you wouldn't need to wait for my return
before running away.
My heartless father!
He doesn't even want
to celebrate festivals with me.
I'm so unlucky to have a son like him.
I'll fight them to the death!
You need to protect the entire tribe!
Close the gate!
Father!
Hurry!
Lay the city lord to rest!
- Farewell, City Lord!
- Farewell, City Lord!
- Farewell, City Lord!
- Farewell, City Lord!
It's been many years since we met.
You must've suffered.
May our tribe live in peace
and be undisturbed.
May we celebrate the same occasion
at the same time next year.
- Come.
- Come.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
The tie between fathers and sons,
the love between mothers and daughters,
and the pain of losing one's kin
They can never be forgotten or erased.
However, the sun will still rise again.
We still have to live on.
Tonight,
you can drown yourself in sorrow.
But if you still act like this tomorrow,
I'll look down on you.
Don't make your mother wait too long.
How did you find out?
My father and I know everything
that happens in Yueluo.
I was merely 15
when I was sent to Qingkang.
I remember that my mother was very thin.
Even so, she defended me
from several burly men.
I remember that she was
sobbing profusely back then.
She shouldn't suffer the pain
of losing one's kin again.
But you guys are still alive.
You stand a chance
as long as you're still alive.
Yu Lian.
Don't be like me.
Don't end up
with regrets.
Don't your wounds hurt?
They're minor wounds.
Indeed. Compared to your old wounds,
they're nothing noteworthy.
Are you sure you'll let them
do whatever they want to you
even after winning the battle?
Even if it means they might kill you?
That's right.
I need to uphold the pact.
You're risking your life for this,
that means you truly love this city.
When my father was still alive,
he did everything in his power
to protect Yueluo.
Since I'm still alive,
I should try my best
to fulfill his wishes.
I'll provide assistance
to the medical camp tomorrow.
Jiang Ci,
I didn't mean for you to get involved.
But I'm already involved.
We will face
this battle together.
You were planning to leave
when you were at the rope bridge, right?
Jiang Ci,
the clay cat is
Young Master.
We've detected movements
by the city wall.
All the elders are rushing there.
You should go.
The current situation
It's unfavorable indeed.
The enemy should be coming from here.
Elders, since you told us to come here,
just get to the point.
This morning, our soldiers
discovered signs of digging
under the city wall
when they were doing their rounds.
Lu Yu is actually
trying to enter the city
by digging a tunnel?
I plan to let our soldiers
set up defenses along the city wall.
We can't afford to let the Zhenyuan Army
complete the tunnel.
There's no need to set up any defenses.
What?
Do you want us to wait for our demise?
Elder Ji,
don't be impatient.
Why aren't we setting up defenses?
They have no way to enter the city.
Hurry up.
Be gentle.
There's no way we can do this.
How can we dig through this?
My Lord,
we found a boulder that's
incredibly hard beneath the city wall.
Even if we force our way through,
we might not be able
to dig through it.
Useless!
All that time was wasted!
I've erred in my judgment.
My Lord, please punish me.
Xiao Haitian, you're something else.
So, you knew that all along.
Boulders are buried under the city wall?
Yueluo has been through many battles.
The ex-city lord
learned from his lessons.
He made preparations just in case
the city was surrounded.
He had buried
a large amount of solid boulders
under the city wall.
That's impossible.
I've never heard this from him
during our city defense meeting.
It was confidential.
The fewer people who know, the better.
Xiao Haitian, you're something else.
Elder Ping.
Was your father
truly framed?
This isn't the time for that.
If you wish to be the city lord,
you need to know
what to prioritize
at each moment.
Me? The city lord?
My father
already handed the jade hairpin to you.
You think our tribe members
respect City Lord Hong
just because he has the jade hairpin?
If you need an object to prove
what your heart desires,
you'll never understand
the true meaning behind it
for the rest of your life.
Why isn't the Shiqing Powder ready yet?
It's not ready yet.
I need some gauze!
Here you go.
I said gauze!
What did you give me?
Dress his wound.
The scalpel.
Coming.
(Physician Ling of Yueluo)
How can I use it
before roasting the tip with fire?
Hurry.
It's sanitized.
Tie up his legs.
Physician Ling.
I'm begging you.
Please save my legs.
What's the point of saving them
when you're dying?
At this rate, people will die
before we can save them.
Mr. Ling, please save me!
What's with the serious wound?
I may tolerate female physicians,
but I won't tolerate any cowards.
Mr. Ling,
hurry and save him!
It's easy to return his intestines
to their position.
But it's difficult to save him.
However, if I use needles
to protect his heart meridians,
suture his intestines
back into his abdomen,
and place them inside the belly
of a cow that's freshly slaughtered
That's the Fu Yan Therapy.
Someone.
Look after him.
Come with me.
Fetch and brew this prescription.
He'll die in your hands
if you make even the slightest mistake.
I won't make any mistakes.
(Yiyuan Hall)
Physician Ling.
He
He's beyond saving.
The battlefield is ever-changing.
Every second you waste being upset
will decide one's life and death.
(Yueluo)
This is unexpected indeed.
A small city like Yueluo City
is actually an impregnable fortress.
My Lord,
I have an idea.
Speak.
The east wind is blowing today.
If we could launch our waste at Yueluo,
by then,
they'll surrender without a fight.
A small unit of the Zhenyuan Army
left the camp during nighttime.
All of them are wearing masks
and carrying a suspicious sack
very cautiously.
(Yiyuan Hall)
Physician Ling had identified the cause.
Those infected with dysentery
suffer from vomiting and diarrhea.
It might result in death
due to cramping in the abdomen.
That Lu Yu!
He's ruthless.
Human waste will
further spread dysentery.
Our current priority
is to treat the infected patients
and disinfect the city with lime.
Is there a place that we can use
to diagnose the patients?
There are several estates to the
east and north of the city.
The elders should be able
to provide us with some venues as well.
The venues in the north
are further away.
They're near the mountains
and forests too.
We can use the local herbs
and ingredients.
The estates to the north
of the city are suitable.
Hong Jie,
set up a diagnosis zone for now.
After that,
spread the word to the people.
Dysentery is running rampant.
Patients have
to head to the diagnosis zone
to the north of the city for treatment.
Why must we go there?
What gives you the right
to decide that for us?
Everyone,
this is our military strategist.
His words
carry as much weight as the elders'.
I can recuperate just fine at home.
Once you catch the bacteria,
there's no cure.
Seek treatment early
so that you can stay alive.
Please cooperate with us.
We'll send physicians there as well.
All of them are saving the soldiers.
Who can save us?
It's so cold out here.
We won't get to have a warm meal there
if we head there.
Yeah. We're not leaving.
We're not leaving.
I'm a physician as well.
I'll head there together with you guys.
I know all of you are afraid.
But you guys will only recover quicker
if you seek treatment
as soon as possible.
I'll look after you guys.
Please trust me.
Physician Jiang.
I'll follow you.
- I'll go as well.
- Me too.
- Me too.
- Me too.
All of us will join you.
I'll go.
- I'll go as well.
- Me too.
- We'll follow you.
- Me too.
I'm willing to go.
I'm a physician.
Logically speaking,
I have to escort them there.
I will look after them
using the prescriptions
Physician Ling gave me.
Did you make this?
You can use this
to write to me.
Don't worry.
I'll write to you every day
and tell you about the situation there.
But I won't treat you if I see you
in the diagnosis zone, okay?
Got it.
I'll be leaving now.
Jiang Ci,
you can have this too.
I'll be leaving now.
♪Who can meet again?♪
♪Looking at the mountains far away

♪Immersed in the passing years♪
Be careful.
Come, over here.
I'll help you out.
Please head inside.
Be careful.
Be careful.
Please head inside.
Over here.
Follow me.
Come.
Be careful.
It's right ahead.
♪Amidst the wind, I suddenly look back♪
♪The face that feels so dear to me♪
Physician Jiang.
These are the prescriptions
that I've revised.
Distribute them to the sick civilians.
Record the severity
of their symptoms as well.
Report your progress to me
and Physician Ling every three days.
Then I'll revise it again.
Understood. Thank you, Physician Jiang.
Tell Yu Lian to send us
some winter clothing
when she's delivering
supplies to us next time.
The weather is getting
colder and colder.
They might not be able to withstand it.
Yes, Physician Jiang.
This
Pei Yan,
why aren't you drinking?
General Lu, I just didn't expect you
to use cattail wool
to spread human waste.
Pei Yan,
you don't need to worry.
Now, the southeast wind is blowing.
The cattail wool won't
drift back to our camp.
Those wretched people
will open the city gate
within three days.
They'll beg me
to save them.
General Lu, you may have the cure,
but that doesn't mean
that they don't have it.
It's not that easy to treat.
Besides,
I have
another trick up my sleeves.
I saw some Yueluo people
within the camp.
Is it related to them?
Pei Yan, you're observant.
Trying to blackmail them
with their own people
might not be effective.
If so,
Pei Yan, what brilliant plan
do you have in mind?
Before this, I discovered
some hidden Yueluo operatives
by following the clues.
Those people are dead
to their relatives.
How could anyone not be affected
by the sight
of their dead kin?
Hidden operatives?
Who planted them?
I haven't found out yet.
However, they've been lurking
within Qingkang for many years.
They know plenty of secrets.
Their leader
won't cast them away that easily.
We can capture Yueluo
even if we don't wipe them out.
Pei Yan,
that's a brilliant plan indeed.
Even I am impressed by your wit.
Pei Yan,
this medicine
disperses cold and removes dampness.
You should drink more of it.
Where's Lang?
Why hasn't he returned yet?
Elder Ji,
don't be impatient.
Young Master has already
written to him.
He should be on his way here.
I'll show you no mercy
if you deceive me again.
Elder Ji
I'm afraid Pei Yan is willing
to resort to anything
in order to retrieve
the account book from Lu Yu.
Young Master,
are you saying
that Pei Yan might blackmail us
with our brothers from the Shadow Sect?
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
Mr. Ping.
Have you ever considered our end?
(Yueluo)
Some of our soldiers have been
mixed in among the captives.
Once the city gate is open,
we can take them down from the inside.
Slaves of Yueluo!
I'll present you guys
with a huge gift today.
Bring them here.
Come here!
Hurry!
Hurry!
Move!
Hurry!
Come here!
Hurry!
Move!
Don't fall behind!
Hurry!
Stand properly!
Kneel!
Kneel!
Kneel!
Hurry!
Didn't you hear us? Kneel!
Kneel!
Kneel!
Kneel!
All of you, raise your head!
Raise your head!
Hurry and raise your head!
Raise your head!
Raise your head! Hurry!
Is that Lang?
That's Lang!
(Yueluo)
Lang!
That's Lang!
That's Lang!
Third Sister!
Lang!
Lang!
I heard
that someone secretly used
these tribute slaves to Liang State
for their own purpose.
Your relatives
and friends
are among them.
Can you guys
bear to watch
as they die one by one?
What exactly is going on?
They're indeed the personnel
that help me gather information
in Liang State.
Father!
Don't listen to that dog, Lu!
No one used us!
(Ji Lang, Son of Ji Yao, Yueluo)
It was our decision!
- That's right! It was our decision!
- That's right! It was our decision!
Do not open the city gate!
Do not open the city gate!
Open the city gate,
and I'll let you guys
reunite with
your long-lost kin.
If not,
I'll kill them off
one by one!
What should we do?
I don't know.
You guys
have eight minutes to decide.
Open the city gate.
Open the city gate!
Hurry and open the city gate!
Open the city gate!
Lu Yu's army is obstructed
by the boulders.
They cannot attack the city directly.
The Zhenyuan Army will surely
be among the captives.
They'll take us down
once they come inside.
Now, dysentery
is already running rampant.
Our strength is already stretched thin.
If we open the city gate,
it'll result in a calamity.
But I can't just stand idly by
when my son is going to die!
Elder Ji!
Stop!
Brother!
It's been eight minutes.
I'll count to three.
One,
two
Lu Yu!
You better stop!
Don't do it!
I'll open the city gate!
I'm going to open the city gate!
Don't do it!
Open the city gate!
Open the city gate!
Hurry and open the city gate!
Open the city gate!
I'm begging you guys!
Open the city gate!
Do not open the city gate!
Xiao Wuxia.
You don't get to decide
the fate of Yueluo City!
- I'm begging you!
- Please open the city gate!
What is he doing?
You do not know your priorities!
How can you defend the city like this?
I don't care who you are.
I'll kill all those who dare
to open the city gate
without permission!
The masked individual
on top of the city wall
should be the son of Xiao Haitian.
He's just the son of a wretched slave.
However,
Pei Yan,
you two were equal when you two
engaged in battle.
People possess infinite strength
when they have something to protect.
General Lu, even you
might not be his match.
If so, I'll see whether
he'll open the city gate
or not.
Xiao Wuxia,
do you intend to make
the Yueluo Tribe your enemy?
That's already a fact.
Fine.
If you guys aren't opening it,
we'll open it ourselves!
Open the city gate!
Do not open the city gate!
Do not open the city gate!
Everyone, listen to me!
Anyone who dares to leave the city wall
will be executed!
Xiao Wuxia!
You're inhumane!
You're an animal!
You knew that they were our kin!
Xiao Wuxia!
You animal!
Xiao Wuxia!
Time's up!
You animal
Lang!
Lang!
One.
Two.
Lu Yu!
Don't do it!
Lang!
- I'm begging you!
- Please save them!
- I'm begging you!
- I'm begging you!
Lang!
I'm begging you! Please save them!
Three!
Father!
I'm a brave member of the Yueluo Tribe!
Just like what you had taught me!
Just like what you had taught me!
Lang!
Hong Jie!
All of them are our kin!
All of them are our kin!
Mother.
I'm already grateful
that I can survive until now.
I'll repay your kindness
in my next life!
Kill them!
Kill all of them!
(Yueluo)
Lang!
Lang!
What else are they trying to do?
Let me ascend the city wall!
Yu Lian, Mr. Ping,
stop those who want
to ascend the city wall.
- Yes, Young Master.
- Yes.
Slaves of Yueluo,
since you guys don't want them
to return to their roots,
I'll grant you your wish, then.
I'll show you guys
the consequences
of not opening the city gate!
They're already dead!
They're so ruthless!
I'm heading down there!
I'm heading down there! Don't stop me!
I'm heading down!
Anyone who acts recklessly
will receive military punishment!
I'm going to kill you.
I'm going to kill you!
Elder Ji!
Let me kill him!
Elder Ji!
Let me kill him!
I know why
you're not opening the city gate.
But the Zhenyuan Army is
humiliating the bodies
of our tribe members!
Yueluo cannot
withstand such humiliation!
What are they arguing about?
Did some of them come back?
Maybe my daughter is among them.
- The people of Yueluo don't fear death!
- The people of Yueluo don't fear death!
- The people of Yueluo don't fear death!
- The people of Yueluo don't fear death!
- We don't fear death!
- We don't fear death!
- The people of Yueluo don't fear death!
- The people of Yueluo don't fear death!
Let us pass!
Everyone, calm down.
Stop them!
Everyone, stop this immediately!
Listen to me! Calm down!
Calm down!
Everyone, calm down!
The people of Yueluo don't fear death!
You guys can pick up your weapons
and fight them.
Dying isn't a huge deal for you all.
But what about the elderly,
the children, and the women?
Once the city gate is opened,
they're utterly defenseless.
Yueluo will be wiped out
in a matter of minutes!
By then,
do you still dare to say
that you're unafraid of death?
General Lu, wait.
May we speak in private?
Pei Yan.
You and I are in the same boat now.
Later,
let's drink together.
After that,
we can watch the show together.
General Lu, what's your plan?
I brought them with me
so that they could
open the city gate for me.
Since they're dead now,
we must
utilize their bodies fully.
Bring me the liquor.
Let's go.
