Put the weapons here.
Prepare the horses.
All right.
Everyone, come here!
Gather around!
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
Hurry up!
Coming!
You guys must keep an eye
on the provisions!
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
(There's actually a war going on?)
(How should I enter the city?)
It's right ahead.
Buddies, we'll arrive soon.
What's wrong?
I need to take a leak.
Why don't you guys go first?
I have to take a leak.
At this moment?
Just go.
You better hurry up.
Go ahead.
Go! Hurry!
Hurry up!
Walk!
Walk!
It's just as you predicted.
Lu Yu showed up right after the deadline.
- Kneel!
- Kneel!
Kneel!
Kneel!
I wonder how things are going
on Mr. Ping's side.
We have to wait
until we receive Mr. Ping's signal.
Only then will we
be able to engage them.
If so, are we leaving the civilians
in the lurch?
I've come up with a countermeasure.
The vanguard unit will follow me
to break through their lines.
The medics will save the civilians.
City Lord,
you will stay in the city
and wait for our signal
before you engage them in battle.
All right.
(Yueluo)
Mr. Ping.
Everyone,
tens of thousands of lives
depend upon this operation.
Only success is allowed,
failure is not an option.
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Under General Lu's order,
you guys have eight minutes.
We'll continue to slaughter them
if you don't open the gate!
What's that?
This
What are they up to?
Sever the rope!
It's filled with dysentery bacteria!
Spread out!
Spread out!
Do not panic!
I'll execute those who panic!
Run!
Hurry!
Hurry!
Over here!
Hurry!
Be careful! Let's go.
Head inside!
Hurry!
Go inside!
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Ci!
Master!
Master!
Jiang Ci!
Jiang Ci!
She's not from the Zhenyuan Army!
She's my master!
It's too dangerous out here!
Let's head inside first!
So, you duped Ci into coming here, huh?
Come with me!
Just you wish!
Jiang Ci!
Wei Zhao! I will never forgive you
if you dare to hurt my master!
Jiang Ci!
You lured me to Yueluo
to capture my master, huh?
- Jiang Ci!
- Master!
(A worthless lass like her)
(actually made Xiao Wuxia
determined to protect her, huh?)
Reporting in!
My Lord! There's turmoil in Liangzhou!
Fires broke out in the city,
including the General's Residence.
The warehouse was attacked.
Provisions were burned.
Rumors are spreading!
The people are looting food!
The city defense army
can't suppress them!
My Lord, please send
reinforcements immediately!
How dare a lowly tribe like them
try to set me up?
Someone!
All armies, obey my command!
Attack them with full force!
General Lu, I'm willing to take the field
and capture our enemies.
For Yueluo!
For Yueluo!
- Jiang Ci!
- Master!
- Jiang Ci!
- Master!
Jiang Ci!
Ci! Come with me!
I need to save Master!
- Come with me!
- I need to save Master!
Ci!
Ci!
You wish to head to Yueluo?
That's none of your business.
I plan to head to Yueluo
in order to harvest Lingjiu Flower.
I'll be making Bitterless Congee
for Master's birthday.
Does your master
like Bitterless Congee?
Your master went to Yueluo
in search of you
since she couldn't find you here.
She went to Yueluo?
Why am I so careless?
The clay cat?
I remember that I gave him a fake one.
What's going on?
I don't want you to leave.
I'm worried that you won't return again
after you see your master.
I might not hear from you again.
(Liangzhou City, Liangzhou, Liang State)
Stabilize the situation
in Liangzhou for now.
We will make further plans
after Dalang leaves Qingkang.
Keep an eye on Pei Yan!
Do not let him find out!
Yes, sir! Go!
Your Lordship!
Ci!
Under General Lu's order,
he'll interrogate
the prisoners of war personally.
No one is to interfere.
She's the servant of my residence.
Since when were you in charge here?
Your Lordship,
this is the Zhenyuan Army Camp.
This isn't your residence.
Ci!
Your Lordship!
Let go of me!
Your Lordship, please think twice!
Your Lordship, don't get yourself
in trouble because of me.
If you dare to harm her,
I'll surely
make you repay it tenfold.
The Zhenyuan Army Camp
is lurking with danger.
Your Lordship, you should
prioritize the bigger picture.
Get us some men.
I'll think of another solution
to rescue her.
You villain.
How dare you use Ci?
Who are you?
Why did you and your sister
assassinate Prince Qi back then?
Prince Qi?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Stop pretending.
You're one of the Yan Sisters.
Back then, you guys abducted
Prince Qi in secret.
After that, you pushed
the blame on Yueluo.
After that, you framed
Xiao Haitian for the deed,
causing him to suffer a wrongful death.
What was your motive?
So,
you're Xiao Wuxia, huh?
Speak!
Isn't this ironic?
Xiao Haitian was the culprit.
He ended up like that
because he brought it upon himself.
You won't get any other results
even if you strangle me to death.
Wei Zhao!
I will never forgive you
if you dare to harm Master!
Girl,
Lord of Jianding
and Xiao Wuxia actually
fought for your sake.
You're pretty stubborn, aren't you?
Are you doing it for Xiao Wuxia's sake?
Or are you doing it for Pei Yan's sake?
They were the reasons
I was wounded in the first place.
Why would I risk my life for them?
You're full of lies!
Get up!
Radiant benevolence.
Although I've never seen you before,
I've called your name 1,000 times.
Your Father,
Xie Chun.
Xie Chun?
Where did you get this letter?
I don't know.
Who hid this letter away?
I don't know.
You do resemble him.
Xie Chun, huh?
I never expected you
to bring me such a huge gift.
The heavens are on my side indeed!
My Lord!
My Lord!
My Lord!
Dalang died from an illness
in the residence three days ago.
That's impossible.
My Lord,
please accept my condolences.
How could Dalang die just like that?
Xie Che,
my son died because of you!
Today,
you're the one
who's forcing my hand!
Gather our troops.
Exit Liangzhou from Liumen Floodgate
and rendezvous with our hidden forces
in Xunyang.
We shall capture Qingkang.
Today,
I'll stage a rebellion against Xie Che!
Yes, My Lord.
Keep a close eye on her.
Since my son died because of Xie Che,
I'll send his niece to the afterlife!
To avoid prolonged trouble,
I'll kill Pei Yan right now!
Back then, escaping with
Prince Qi as our hostage
was but a ruse.
Only Xiao Haitian
knew our hiding spot in Yueluo.
Xiao Haitian killed Prince Qi.
He was Prince Qi's murderer.
Xiao Haitian is not
someone untrustworthy.
If you dare to malign him again,
I'll reduce you to ashes!
Is this the place?
Yes, Your Lordship.
I found out that Miss Jiang
was transferred to this place.
But for some reason,
the security is tight.
Have you made
the necessary arrangements?
Our men are nearby.
Your Lordship,
you were already in a tough spot.
If Lu Yu finds out
that you're doing this,
I'm afraid
I can't afford to let Ci be in danger.
Act in secret.
Do not alert them to our presence.
Your Lordship.
This is a secret letter from Qingkang.
(Lu Dalang, son of General Lu,
died all of a sudden. You're in danger.)
Lu Dalang is dead?
Lu Yu will stage
a rebellion at any time.
Your Lordship,
the situation is unpredictable.
We mustn't stay here any longer.
We have to rescue Ci first.
Proceed according to our plan.
Okay.
General Lu.
His Majesty's reinforcements
will be here soon.
You should think twice before acting.
Kill them!
An, we can't fend them off!
Ci!
Your Lordship, sorry for this!
Let's go!
(Yueluo)
Liu has returned.
He said Lu Yu intends
to stage a rebellion.
Tell Mr. Ping to keep an eye on her.
Are you going to rescue Jiang Ci?
I'll join you with my troops.
That won't do.
How can you rescue her alone?
She's your wife.
She's also our savior.
All right.
Take a group of skilled water fighters
with you.
Wait for my orders.
The Lingjiu Flowers are blooming!
Look at all those Lingjiu Flowers!
There are so many of them!
The Lingjiu Flowers are blooming!
The Lingjiu Flowers are blooming!
There are so many Lingjiu Flowers
in Mingyue Valley!
The Lingjiu Flowers are blooming!
Your Lordship.
Where's Ci?
How dare you stop me
from saving Jiang Ci?
You deserve to be punished for that!
I acted on my own initiative.
Your Lordship, please punish me.
Your Lordship, we only managed
to break the encirclement
after An led us to steal their horses.
An did everything for your sake
and the Changfeng Guards' sake.
Your Lordship, please spare me for now.
Once I've escorted you back to Qingkang,
you can punish me however you like.
I won't have any complaints.
Come with me.
We have to stop Lu Yu.
We can't afford to let him
capture Qingkang.
Yes, Your Lordship.
Where's Jiang Ci?
Lu Yu took her with him.
If he intends to stage a rebellion,
he'll take the water route.
Let's head to Liumen Floodgate.
I'll rescue Jiang Ci.
You and Hong Jie
open the gate and intercept Lu Yu.
I'll buy time for you.
A maximum of 15 minutes.
(Liumen Floodgate)
(Liumen Floodgate)
General.
Girl,
you're quite resilient, aren't you?
I can see why you're a member
of the imperial Xie Family.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Return my letter to me!
You're just a pawn.
Don't waste your energy.
If so, General, do you know
that some pawns can be manipulated
while some pawns
can flip the chessboard upside down?
I want to see
what other tricks
you can actually
pull off this time around.
Full speed ahead.
Yes, My Lord.
Slow down!
What's going on?
For some reason, the river
is filled with sandbags,
wood, and stones.
We can only slow down
to avoid being stranded.
General Lu!
Pei Yan?
Just now, you barely
escaped from my clutch.
How dare you come here to seek death?
General Lu, I have a piece
of advice for you.
There's no way forward.
It's not too late for you to turn back.
You think you can trap me
with these stupid sandbags of yours?
We can see
who's faster, then. Your boats?
Or my arrows?
(Liumen Floodgate)
(Liumen Floodgate)
Fire!
Kill them!
What are you doing here?
What have you done to Master?
Let's escape first. We can talk later.
Stop trying.
Lu Yu has the keys.
(Liumen Floodgate)
(Liumen Floodgate)
Halt!
Stop firing!
General Lu,
do you wish to give it another try?
Pei Yan!
I'm going to slaughter you!
What are you doing?
You'll lure them here, you know?
Keep an eye on Pei Yan!
Yes, sir!
This is bad.
I'm sure he has noticed
Commander Wei's presence.
I believe in Sanlang.
Let's wait a little longer.
Xiao Wuxia,
you've foiled my plans
time and time again.
And now, you still dare
to show yourself?
Do you have a death wish?
Did you already know
whose daughter she was long ago?
Return my letter to me!
No wonder you were
pursuing her relentlessly.
So, we had the same goal, huh?
Both of us were trying to manipulate her
since she was the daughter
of Xie Chun, right?
Xiao Wuxia,
since we have the same goal,
why don't you serve me?
I'll treat the Yueluo Tribe well
if you help me to achieve success.
What do you think?
Stubborn fool!
You'll die today!
Your Lordship, time is up.
Get ready!
He hasn't returned yet!
Since we agreed
to do so at a time limit,
that means it's a military order.
I believe in him.
Hong Jie!
My Lord!
My Lord!
Pei Yan is up to something.
He's going to close the floodgate!
Leave this to me.
Keep a close eye on him.
Shut the door.
Keep an eye on them.
Do not let them escape.
They shall await the general's judgment.
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
Just leave!
Master will be in trouble
if you die, you know?
Full speed ahead!
Your Lordship, if war breaks out,
the people will suffer.
(Liumen Floodgate)
I won't die from this.
You won't die as well.
(Liumen Floodgate)
Jiang Ci!
Xiao!
Jiang Ci!
Jiang Ci?
Jiang Ci!
The Lingjiu Flowers you planted,
they already bloomed.
Lord.
Yifei, buy some clothes and ointment.
After that, find a lady and tell her
to change Jiang Ci's clothes for her.
Yes.
What do you plan to do after this?
Tell Mr. Ping to be on standby
and wait for my instructions.
After that, we'll bring
that woman to Qingkang.
Once Miss Jiang regains consciousness,
she'll surely ask you about the Yans.
Well,
don't you intend to let them meet?
It'll only cause additional trouble.
If so
Regarding Miss Jiang
Mr. Si.
Wuxia.
Mr. Si, you've been laying low
in the Lu Army Camp for many years.
You endured humiliation
and had gone through hardships.
Please accept my bow.
It's nothing noteworthy.
But you,
you've suffered all these years.
We owe the victory
to your brilliant planning.
You disrupted Lu Yu's main camp
from the rear.
And, you raised
the morale of the tribe members
on the front lines.
That's how our tribe members were able
to achieve this rare victory.
Mr. Si, I have to thank you
for luring Lu Yu away
when we were at Liumen Floodgate.
I've finally lived up
to your expectations.
This is Lu Yu's tiger tally.
It's a shame that Lu Yu went missing
after he jumped into the water.
We couldn't eliminate him.
Lu Yu's intention to rebel
has been revealed.
He dare not show himself easily.
Mr. Si, please write
a letter of surrender
for the Zhenyuan Army
and present the tiger tally to him.
His Majesty wants
to stabilize the army's morale.
He'll surely treat
the surrendered troops well.
Mr. Si, you can also
use this opportunity
to rally the morale
of the remaining troops.
Now, Yueluo won't be bullied
by the Zhenyuan Army again.
Yueluo can use this chance
to rest and regroup.
Wuxia, I would like to thank you
on Yueluo's behalf!
Mr. Si.
Before this,
you only intended to uphold justice
for the ex-city lord.
What made you change?
20 years ago,
I hated Yueluo as they couldn't
distinguish right from wrong.
They detested and betrayed
my father and the Xiao Family.
But when I returned to Yueluo,
I realized
that all of them were just like me.
Their families were shattered as well.
My father and Uncle Hong
risked their lives to protect Yueluo.
I should inherit their will
and not let them down.
I'm sure your father
will be proud of you
if he's able to see you right now.
Now, Yueluo is still
under Liang State's control.
We have to deliver our people
as slaves every year,
causing families to be shattered.
Once I've returned
to the imperial court,
I'll surely find a chance
and try everything I can
to make His Majesty spare Yueluo.
His Majesty is extremely paranoid.
That's the reason
Lu Yu tried to perish together with him.
You have to be careful.
Mr. Si, I'll entrust
Yueluo and Liangzhou
to you for the time being.
I won't let you down.
Take care.
Your Lordship.
This is the decree to attack Liangzhou
that was found in Lu Yu's tent.
(The daughter of Prince Qi, Xie Chun)
The daughter of Prince Qi, Xie Chun?
Ci?
No wonder Lu Yu was bent on
capturing Jiang Ci.
Your Lordship,
what should we do?
Report the successful
rebellion suppression
back to Qingkang for now.
Write about Yueluo's contribution
as well
and deliver them back to Qingkang.
Your Lordship,
do you intend to keep Miss Jiang's
background a secret for now?
We need
to plan this through.
Start with the apothecaries
in Liangzhou.
Locate
Ci and Sanlang as soon as possible.
- Yes, Your Lordship.
- Yes, Your Lordship.
(The daughter of Prince Qi, Xie Chun)
To my child?
You shall be born to this world.
(I was born into wealth and honor.)
(I grew up in the palace.)
(I was favored by the late emperor.)
(I took self-cultivation)
(and the nation's governance
as my responsibility.)
(However, nothing in the world)
(is perfect.)
(I never expected)
(that I would cross
mountains and rivers,)
(part ways with my siblings)
(and wife,)
(and return to a simple life.)
(With that, I was never
disgraced in life.)
(My child, I hope you can stay away
from the court struggles)
(and lead a peaceful and carefree life.)
(I once told your mother this.)
(If you're a boy,)
(your name shall be Qian.)
(If you're a girl,)
(your name shall be Ci.)
Qian.
Ci.
Ci, huh?
To be as humble as a gentleman.
To exhibit radiant benevolence.
Although I've never seen you before,
I've uttered your name 1,000 times.
From your father, Xie Chun.
Where's Master?
You tricked me by saying
that my clay cat was broken.
You did so in order to lure me to Yueluo.
When I asked you about it
with the broken clay cat,
you lied to me by saying
that you couldn't bear to part with it.
You've been using me from the start.
But the funny thing is
that I've never doubted you.
I overestimated myself.
I thought I could help you out.
In the end, you took me for a fool.
I should've left
when I was in Nanling.
I shouldn't have turned back
when I was at the rope bridge in Yueluo.
I shouldn't have trusted you
or known you in the first place.
Master was implicated because of me.
She's in trouble because of me.
Where's Master?
She's in Yueluo.
Return Master to me.
Not now.
Your body is still weak.
You should finish the congee.
