(Yueluo)
Later, take the family members away.
Don't provoke them any more.
But those bodies
Lu Yu won't do anything to them
for the time being.
I will take care of them tonight.
This is bad!
This is bad!
Elder Ji climbed over the city wall.
Get the things we prepared out.
My son
My son
Go.
Let go of me.
Quiet.
Trust me.
I have a plan.
Let me go down.
Let me go down!
General Lu!
Something has happened!
What's it?
The Yueluo people
are transporting the bodies.
What?
They are right below!
Shoot them!
Arrows!
Come with me.
Release!
Release!
Release the arrows!
Kill them!
Wait, General Lu.
Pei Yan,
it was you who suggested
using those spies as bait before.
Now, you want me to stop.
What exactly do you want?
Given the current situation,
the Yueluo people have united.
It won't do us any good
if we attack them.
Now that you have executed those spies,
they won't open the city gate
even if the bodies are destroyed.
Even after Yueluo is claimed,
those people won't submit to us.
Submit to us?
Why would I even need that?
If you can't stabilize
the vassal land, it might
become a threat in the future.
Yueluo can't hold on for long.
We can come up with another plan
to claim the city.
Those bodies
are useless now.
Send them back
to their families properly.
It was you
who saved them in Qingkang.
They intended to protect Yueluo.
I was just
giving them an opportunity.
What opportunity?
If the Liang's policy doesn't change,
more Yueluo people
will be sent to Liang State
to be tormented.
Reopening the case
is the only way.
If that really happens,
your identity will be exposed.
I will make sure
everything is arranged properly.
If only the truth
would come to light one day.
I'm saying that you might be in danger.
You held me down with your sword
at the city gate earlier today
because you wanted
to take the blame for me.
I'm afraid everyone in the tribe
will hate you.
Even so,
at least they can still
carry on with their lives.
Carry on?
I really can't understand
what you're thinking.
You should consider
how to get back
the jade hairpin from me.
Physician Jiang,
these are today's supplies.
It's snowing heavily outside.
I hope the snow
can stop as soon as possible.
Could you please inform Yu Lian
to send more crow-dipper,
villous amomum fruit,
blankets, and hand warmers
when she comes next time?
Sure.
Wait.
Is everything all right
at the city gate?
Physician Jiang,
stay in the treatment area
these days.
Don't go anywhere.
Xiao Wuxia refused to save those
outside the gate,
and all the Yueluo people
might give you a hard time here.
He isn't that kind of person.
He won't be that cruel.
But
Why is there smoke
hanging above Mingyue Valley?
Jiang Ci said
all infected items must be burned.
Young Master,
have our people
sent the message out?
Half a month ago,
we have already notified
that shaman.
This concerns Jiang Ci,
so she will definitely inform the Yans.
We must end the war
before the Yans arrive.
Young Master,
at this point,
not to mention
defeating the Zhenyuan army,
Yueluo City
might also be compromised.
We mustn't lose it.
Someone is more eager to end this war
quickly than we do.
Young Master,
are you referring
to that person in the palace?
Still, we can't place all our hopes on him.
We need to find another solution
to subdue the enemy.
Your Majesty,
General Lu sent a missive
from Liangzhou today.
He mentioned that Yueluo
is staging a rebellion.
As the war is imminent,
he can't return to the capital yet.
This is just an excuse to buy time.
If he could claim Yueluo
in the meantime,
I wouldn't dare
to take action against him.
Read this.
Sanlang said
Lu Yu took the liberty to attack
(Urgent military news from Wei Zhao)
Yueluo,
intending to occupy the land.
They slaughtered the people rampantly.
This is outrageous.
Lu Yu intends to rebel.
Please calm down, Your Majesty.
Please calm down.
Send a decree to Pei Yan
and tell him to assist Sanlang.
They must bring Lu Yu back to Qingkang
using whatever methods they see fit.
My Zhenyuan Army
mustn't be misused by him.
Yes, Your Majesty.
(Lord of Jianding's Residence)
Lu Yu is driving Yueluo to a corner.
I wonder what His Lordship's plan is.
Yan actually came up
with a rather indirect method.
He wanted to bring Lu Yu down completely
using the war with Yueluo.
However, even if
the Zhenyuan Army is defeated,
the military reform still won't happen.
He should've chosen
the right battleground,
not Yueluo.
Madam, do you wish Lu Yu to rebel?
I see an opening if he rebels.
Lu Yu is too easily attached
to his sentiments.
We have to help him
let go of his attachment,
that's his son.
Yes, Madam.
However, before the reinforcement arrives,
His Lordship might be in trouble
He's my son.
If he can't even protect himself,
he deserves the suffering.
Did you come here
with any brilliant ideas?
I'm willing to enter the city alone
to persuade Yueluo to surrender.
What a joke.
You want me to negotiate for peace
after what we've done?
Dysentery is rampaging in Yueluo
at the moment.
Many of the Zhenyuan soldiers
are infected as well.
If we launch an attack now,
the sick Zhenyuan Army
won't perform well,
and it will lead
to a heavy loss for you.
If your goal is to claim Yueluo,
you need to employ
both tough and soft approaches.
How about we set a five-day limit?
I will enter Yueluo alone
to persuade them to surrender
and pledge loyalty to you.
All right.
We will do as you suggest.
I will give you five days.
After that,
no one can stop me
from attacking the city.
Young Master, Pei Yan is here.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Physician Ling's prescription is
effective in combating the sickness.
However, the condition of some patients
is slightly different,
so the dosage should
be reduced accordingly.
The dosage of patchouli remains.
Crow-dipper
reduced by three maces.
(3 maces and 5 taels, 4 taels of kudzu,
Chinese skullcap, peony, licorice)
Ci!
I beg of you.
Please let me out.
I need to see Physician Ling.
Please.
Ma'am, you haven't recovered yet.
You can't leave.
Please let me find Physician Ling.
I can't let you go.
Mother!
Are you all right?
Ma'am.
- Ma'am.
- Move.
Mother.
Mother.
Are you all right?
Yu Lian?
It's me, Mother.
I'm back.
Yu Lian?
Are you all right?
Is it you, Yu Lian?
Yes, it's me.
Physician Jiang also
Mother.
Mother.
Mother, wake up.
Mother.
Mother.
Should I call you Wei Zhao
or Xiao Wuxia?
It depends on whom you seek help from.
It's not necessarily my place
to seek your help, though.
Wei Zhao has
the Pei Clan's account book,
while Xiao Wuxia defends Yueluo City.
Either way,
you have favors to ask of me.
Shaojun, do you intend to trade a truce
from Lu Yu for the account book?
The war has to be quelled eventually,
and we need to bring Lu Yu back, don't we?
His Majesty instructed me to assist you
in bringing Lu Yu back.
I assume your burden
isn't any lighter than mine.
After all, Xiao Wuxia
defends Yueluo City.
He can't create another clone
for Commander Wei
to persuade Lu Yu.
Shaojun, stop beating around the bush.
I would like to propose a deal
with you, Sanlang.
I know you have a solution
to break through the siege.
However,
you need time.
Lu Yu is impatient.
He's already on the verge of wrath
because of the diamond.
Once he flares up,
he will launch a fierce attack,
even if it takes a heavy toll
on his troops.
When that happens,
the city will be compromised.
Defense isn't the best option.
I believe you will plan
for a retaliation,
and that requires time.
So does controlling the epidemic.
I can help you to buy a few days.
In return,
you only need to hand over
the Pei Clan's account book.
After that,
I assure you that your identity
will remain a secret from me.
How can I trust you?
You have no choice
but to trust me, Sanlang.
Likewise, I can only choose to trust you.
I will collaborate with you.
But you have to agree
to one condition.
Yueluo will assist you
to subdue the rebels,
and the credit must go to Yueluo.
I see that all the Yueluo people
peg you as their enemy.
Do you really have to consider them?
There's no need for you
to intervene with Yueluo's matter.
Jiang Ci caught dysentery
in the treatment area.
Young Master, please help her.
Where's Jiang Ci?
She was exhausted
from working day in and day out
and fainted.
Where are you going, Your Lordship?
To find Jiang Ci.
Please reconsider, Your Lordship.
The treatment area is dangerous.
You can't go there.
I can't stand by and watch her die.
If anything bad happens to you,
what about the Changfeng Guards?
Please consider the bigger picture,
Your Lordship.
Your Lordship,
General Lu only gave us an hour.
If we return late,
he'll definitely find a reason
to start a war.
A war is impending now.
Please don't make things complicated.
Go to the physician
of the Zhenyuan Army,
ask for the best herbs,
and pass them on to Wei Zhao.
Ci must be saved.
Yes, Your Lordship.
Mr. Ping,
take a troop
and secretly leave the city tonight.
That's impossible, Young Master.
The war will erupt at any time here.
How can I leave you here
to face it alone?
Pei Yan and I have
formed an alliance.
He'll help me stall the army
for five days.
After five days,
Lu Yu will attack us.
We have to make preparations beforehand.
All right.
I'll get it done.
Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci, sit up.
Take the medicine.
Here.
(Jiang Ci,)
(I have tried to kill you
so many times,)
(but you always survived.)
(You mustn't let dysentery defeat you.)

He isn't that kind of person.
You have misunderstood him.

Go collect the herbs
according to this prescription.
Ought to be careful.
- Go on.
- All right.
You've recovered.
Thank you, sir.
Let's go home.
Finally, we're going home.
Brother.
Thank you so much, sir.
We're going home.
Slow down.
Finally, we're going home.
Finally, we've recovered.
Brother is out.
Mother.
Let's go home.
Jiang Ci, you are awake?
Well,
how do you feel now?
Don't get closer to me.
Don't worry.
Physician Ling modified the prescription
based on yours, and the condition
has been significantly relieved.
Jiang Ci, thank you.
Thank you for saving our lives,
Physician Jiang.
- Thank you, Physician Jiang.
- Thank you, Physician Jiang.
You braved the harsh epidemic
and were determined to save
the people of Yueluo equally.
Please accept my bow.
- Please accept our vows.
- Please accept our vows.
Please get up.
This is my duty.
Did you come
to the treatment area for me?
No.
Let me help you up.
I'm good.
Why don't you wait for me outside?
I will go and check if any
important prescriptions are left.
All right.
I'll wait for you at the entrance.
It's hard to distinguish
what the Shameless Cat truly means.
I'm asking,
when will we fly a kite?
You fell sick and lost the kite.
There's no kite for you to fly.
Cats in the mountains
always step on the footprints
of their companions'
to keep warm.
Come.
Hop on.
You're smart.
Two cats leaning together
can keep each other warm.
What are you smiling at me?
Your mother made chicken soup
and let me send it to you.
Drink it while it's hot.
When have you become
so close to my mother?
She's your mother.
Of course, I'm kind to her.
You and your mother
have finally reunited.
I'm truly happy for you.
Drink it before it gets cold.
Give it to me.
This is my favorite.
Nice.
It's still hot.
What about that?
Did my mother make that, too?
Well, this
I made this.
Milk tea.
Your mother said you liked drinking this
when you were a kid.
Let me try that.
Nice.
Give that to me.
I'll hold it.
I haven't finished it yet.
You take these.
- Let's go.
- All right.
Let's go.
Hurry.
Stay close.
Let's go.
It's said that Lu Yu
has already secretly sent
his men to fetch his son.
It seems
he wants to end this quickly
with Yueluo.
The people will probably
have to suffer.
Some captives were sacrificed
due to the tense situation last time.
Whether or not the people
will be saved this time
is up to Sanlang.
What are you staring at?
Yu Lian.
Yu Lian?
Where's she?
In my heart.
You asked.
The person in your heart
is someone who occupies your heart
and thoughts all the time.
♪Dare you fall in love with me
under the moon♪
♪Embracing the fiery passion♪
♪Dare you spend
the rest of your life with me♪

a fateful encounter with me♪

Jiang Ci?
The person in my heart?
Judging by the time,
Mr. Ping should be arriving
in Liangzhou in no time.
Didn't you make a deal with Pei Yan?
He only buys time for us.
Yueluo can't be trapped forever.
It seems
I'm far from being
a qualified city lord.
Mr. Hong also started by laying a brick
and building a bridge.
You will become someone like him
in the future.
Have you ever thought
about staying here
after the war?
Hong, something bad has happened!
Let's go.
You can't leave me alone.
What's going on here?
Lu Yu threatened us with the spies'
lives to open the city gate,
but Mr. Xiao refused.
Hence, many lives were killed.
Father.
Elder Ji's son is also among them.
Give me back my brother!
All right.
Calm down.
There, there.
Folks,
being helpless against
the slaughtering of our kin
is my fault.
I'm willing to bear
all responsibilities and punishments.
This is a decision made by everyone.
We had to do this
to protect our city.
Nonsense!
It's not your family who died.
You certainly can downplay it.
Many lives were sacrificed,
but did we win the war?
It was his idea.
He endangered our families.
You are a murderer!
Yes,
it was my idea
not to open the city gate.
Once the gate is opened,
more people will die.
I thought my daughter
had been dead for ten years,
but I instantly recognized her
from the city wall.
My poor girl.
She died right before my eyes
even before
she could call me father again.
My daughter
died before I did.
Father.
Father.
Mother, I want Father back.
You are to blame!
Give me back my child!
What did you see?
Our home.
Do you know what I saw?
Our home,
Mr. Ji's home,
Mrs. Ping's home,
and the homes
of all Yueluo people.
I'm not a hero.
I don't want to be a hero, either.
I only want to keep the land
and homes safe.
- Why do we have to have war?
- Beat you to death.
It's useless
even if he's beaten to death.
My child won't be able to return, anyway.
I will die sooner or later.
I might as well go
join my sister earlier.
That day,
I used a sword to threaten
the young city lord,
forcing him and the elders
not to open the gates.
I failed to save our kin.
I, Xiao Wuxia,
will kneel and apologize.
I vow that from today on,
I will fight for Yueluo
until the very last moment,
keep Yueluo away from war,
and restore peace.
What are you doing here?
The Shameless Cat
is crouching in the snow,
and I'm worried he will freeze.
I'm not cold.
I'm cold.
It's not good for you
if they see you.
I'm not afraid.
I'm Mrs. Xiao, anyway.
Are you planning to abandon me?
That was an expedient plan.
Why do you take that seriously?
Who tells you an expedient plan
can't turn into a long-term one?
Shameless Cat,
come what may,
I will always stay with you.
I'm willing
What were you saying just now?
I will tell you
when the war is over.
