=Episode 38=
(Zhuzhou, Liang State)
What's wrong?
You have been unconscious
for quite a while.
I'm fine,
probably
just exhausted.
I'm terrified.
There were several times
when I got so terrified
that you wouldn't come back.
Why won't I?
Yue Jinglong delayed
the deployment of troops to support.
Is this His Majesty's will?
I guess so.
The formidable enemy is before us,
yet he actually wants to take your life.
Yue Jinglong
has not delayed
the military operations either.
Not only can the vanguard battalion
pin down Wei State Army
and recover Zhuzhou,
but he can also get rid of me.
It's killing two birds with one stone.
There is no death
more free from criticism
than a general dying on the battlefield.
This battle
is filled with enemies,
both inside and out
but anyway,
you are not allowed to leave me.
Yes.
What if you leave me behind?
If I do that again,
I'll be punished
with fierce flames devouring my bones.
Stop right there.
We'll head to Liang State
to meet Pei Yan first
tomorrow.
Yueluo Army
can also follow me.
Yifei told me about
the progress of Prince Qi's case.
Will Yueluo Army's merit
still be useful?
Hong Jie,
if you're still concerned
We can follow you to Liangzhou.
Even if it is not for military merit,
we'll still go.
Alright.
If there's nothing else,
you should head back first.
We have to leave early tomorrow.
Alright.
Miss Jiang.
I am usually
behaving rudely to you.
I must have offended you.
Please forgive me,
Miss Jiang.
Mr. Ping,
you are just loyal to Young Master.
I never took it to heart.
No, today
Miss Jiang, you rescued
Young Master from a dire situation
from Yueluo's military reinforcement
fearlessly.
Based on this act alone,
I have to pay my respects.
Mr. Ping!
I must do it.
Then I'll have to do it too.
Thank you, Miss Jiang.
Punish the traitors,
quell the rebellion,
and protect the great Liang State!
-Commander-in-Chief.
-Commander-in-Chief.
Good job, Commander-in-Chief.
It seems
there's no need for me
to personally patrol and guard.
Changfeng Guards
can take charge independently.
Your Lordship,
this man is narrow-minded,
I'm afraid he might cause you trouble.
He also wants to win this battle
for Liang State.
He is just stubborn in person
and holds prejudice
against the Zhenyuan Army.
Mr. Cui is still developing
Phoenix Crossbow.
Your Lordship, don't worry.
Our army will definitely
seal the victory
and return in triumph.
Good.
Once we achieve victory and return,
I will promote you to become
Changfeng Guard's
commander.
(Wei State Army, Wei State)
(Gao Xiu, Emperor of Wei State)
Zhuzhou is lost?
I am
guilty
for not protecting Official Teng well.
What kind of fierce generals
has Liang State sent,
not only taking Zhuzhou,
but also the State Uncle?
Your Majesty,
that person is
Wei Zhao, Commander of Light Bureau.
We have never met
on the battlefield before.
He was unexpectedly brave and
skilled in battle.
He's just a sycophantic minister
who plays with power
but lacks awareness.
There's hearsay
that General Lu remained intact
at Liangzhou.
Aren't you underestimating the enemy?
You
That's enough.
The current plan is
that we must take down Liangzhou
as soon as possible.
As far as I know,
You Ran, the general of Liangzhou,
is at odds with Pei Yan.
You Ran, relying on his many years
of military service,
is arrogantly self-important.
However, in this recent defense
of the city, his performance
has been mediocre, and glory has
been seized by Pei Yan.
This is precisely the time
when he is eager to achieve merits,
and we should take action against him.
General Lu, what is your master plan?
I will send my men
to pretend to surrender to You Ran
and provide him with news
of my surprise attack with troops.
At the time of confrontation,
I will feign defeat
and let him take the captives
back to the city.
When the time comes,
we will cooperate inside and outside
and take down Liangzhou
in one fell swoop.
General Lu, I am surprised
that you are actually willing
to bury the army you cultivated
with your own efforts.
If they are not for my use,
why do you call them my army?
Do what General Lu says.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Are you sure
Lu Yu will pass by here
tonight?
(Liu Ming)
General,
(Zhenyuan Army's spy)
I have
followed Lu Yu to flee to Wei State
previously.
I wandered in a foreign land
and became homesick.
I just want to go back to Liang State
and become a part of your Zhenyuan Army.
If you help me achieve merit,
well,
I will ensure your safe return
to Liang State.
Thank you, General.
They're here.
Charge!
Get these captives back to the camp.
Follow him back.
I will chase Lu Yu.
Yes! Go!
You Ran left the city
without permission to chase after Lu Yu,
and the Wei Army broke through the gate.
Chaos happened here.
I'm afraid that Liangzhou
cannot be defended.
Report.
Report.
Commander-in-Chief,
General You
was ambushed by the Lu thieves
and he died in battle.
This is the Tiger Talisman he assigned
someone to bring back.
He repeatedly instructed
to deliver it to you.
Prepare the troops quickly
to retreat from Yueluo.
To protect our combat capability.
Since we need some time
to retreat the army,
we can take advantage of
the defensive position
of Mount Mingyue to set an ambush.
An ambush?
How much time and people
do we need?
We can assign five smaller troops,
and it can be done
within an hour.
An Cheng,
go pick up Ci and Sanlang,
and take them to join the army.
Your Lordship, don't worry.
This is a very urgent situation.
You must be careful.
Don't worry.
I always fulfill the mission.
I am still waiting for you
to call me Big Brother.
Prepare, are you ready?
Set off!
Keep going.
Slow down, Your Lordship.
Mom, I can't walk anymore.
There will be buns soon.
Madam, leave the bag to me.
I'll carry it.
-Thank you.
-Watch your steps.
Ziming,
how much longer do we need
for everyone to climb over
Mount Mingyue?
With the current speed,
we need another hour.
Fortunately,
the ambush has been set up.
That should be able to hold off
the army for a while.
Understood.
Keep going.
Liangzhou has fallen,
and the troops
are retreating north from Yueluo.
I'll take you to the troops.
Help!
General, help us!
General!
General, help!
Wei Army is massacring the city,
not even those from Yueluo
are spared.
General!
General!
Yifei,
escort the people away.
I'll stay to deal with them.
Understood.
Wei Zhao,
can these few soldiers of yours
stop my army?
What a joke.
Listen to my order,
follow me
to kill him!
Charge!
Run!
Hurry!
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
This way!
Quick, keep up!
Come on, hurry!
Hurry!
Miss Jiang!
Hurry!
Here.
You lead them to evacuate first.
We should leave together.
Let's go!
Protect the people.
Get her off.
Changfeng Guards,
follow me to meet the enemy!
Yes!
Miss Jiang, let's go.
Quickly.
Hurry!
Go!
Withdraw!
Your Lordship,
we finally crossed the mountain.
Arrangements have been made
for our troops to camp.
Your Lordship,
why isn't An here yet?
Prepare men and horses
for support.
I will muster the troops.
How reckless.
Stay here.
No,
I'm going to find An.
Military Supervisor Ziming,
those who disobey military orders
must be gotten rid of.
- Yes, Your Lordship.
- Your Lordship!
Stay here.
Follow quickly!
Hurry, run!
Hurry!
Faster!
Quick!
Changfeng Guards
can't be defeated so easily!
Go!
Just go!
An Cheng!
An Cheng!
An Cheng?
An Cheng!
An Cheng
Your Lordship,
I
fulfilled the mission,
I brought Miss Jiang
back.
I know everything.
I'll take you home.
I'll take you home!
Big Brother.
(Changfeng Guards)
Your Highness.
May I have your name?
Er Niu.
Madam gave you a new name,
An Cheng.
Come over.
You are younger than me?
Yes.
You have to call me Big Brother, then.
Only those who can defeat me
deserve to be my big brother.
Bring it on.
You lost.
Big Brother.
If I achieved merits,
what can you reward me?
What do you want?
Why don't you call me Big Brother?
I'll just give you a big house
in preparation for your marriage.
I never thought about getting married.
I only wish to follow you
for the rest of my life.
I can no longer
accompany
you
An Cheng?
An Cheng?
An Cheng?
Wake up.
An Cheng?
An Cheng!
Wake up!
An Cheng!
An Cheng!
I will get you home!
An Cheng!
I will get you home.
- Your Lordship!
- Your Lordship.
An?
An
I
It's me, Tong Min.
Wake up.
I
An
An Cheng!
Why don't you keep your word?
(Tomb of An Cheng)
Please don't worry,
An.
(Tomb of An Cheng)
Lu Yu has already been repelled by us.
Everyone is fine.
Don't worry about us.
(Tomb of An Cheng)
(I never thought about getting married.)
I only wish to follow you
for the rest of my life.
Commander An
was loyal and brave,
and he saved all the people's lives.
Respect to Commander An.
(Tomb of An Cheng)
All the loyalty and bravery
have been misplaced in me.
I have experienced it too.
I am clearer
about what should be done.
(Tomb of An Cheng)
I can't let them be misplaced again.
I, Pei Yan, hereby vow
to never let down the warriors
of Liang State.
(Tomb of An Cheng)
Still crying?
No wonder An said
it was difficult
to find you a wife.
You don't know anything.
Do you?
Don't you just know how to cry?
I
I won't argue with you.
In fact, you actually know
Lord Pei didn't have
any other choice
in that situation.
Besides,
he didn't allow you to follow him
because he was worried
that you might get emotional
and get injured,
and you wouldn't be able to return.
I'm still waiting for An to get married
so I can help him hang lanterns.
In the next life.
You will still be friends
in the next life.
I will be the big brother
in my next life, then.
I'll take care of things.
(Allied military camp, Liang State)
What right do you have to be here?
Commander An will not die
if not to rescue you Yueluo slaves!
Enough!
I've tolerated you for a long time.
Can you repay the blood feud
of every household in Yueluo?
What did you say?
Say it again!
What are you doing?
Be ruthless against Wei, then!
Get back!
Stop being impulsive.
Break it up.
Break it up!
- Just wait.
- Wait and see.
Let's go.
An
Your Lordship, are you alright?
How is Lord Pei doing?
He'll be fine.
This is my first time
seeing him like this.
I suddenly remembered
the last time I hugged Master,
I didn't even get to call her Aunt.
I wonder how many more lives
will be taken away by this war.
Many things that we consider trivial
may actually never come again.
I guess
this also reminds you
of many people, right?
Yueluo
or Liang State,
whether it's war
or grievance,
all this
will end.
This is Yueluo.
If you look down on us,
you should go back to Liang State.
Yueluo belongs to us from Liang State.
I'm going to fight
for this place. So what?
What did you say?
What do you mean?
Stop at once!
Stand down!
Stand down!
A formidable enemy is imminent.
Whether it's Yueluo or Liang State,
when one suffers,
it affects the other as well.
We should be setting aside
our prejudices
and support each other.
What we look forward to day and night
is to end this war as soon as possible
so we can live peaceful lives
with our loved ones.
Now that we've had enough
of being homeless
and living in days of fear,
we should unite together even more
to end all this.
Isn't this Liang State's ballad?
It's clearly Yueluo's ballad.
The army of Liang State
is willing to be with Yueluo
through thick and thin.
Let's win this battle together!
You can weather the storm together,
and we can also
share joys and hardships.
- Share joys and hardships!
- Share joys and hardships!
- Weather the storm together!
- Weather the storm together!
- Share joys and hardships!
- Share joys and hardships!
- Weather the storm together!
- Weather the storm together!
From now on,
our army forms an alliance
with Yueluo Army.
We unite to form
allied forces against Wei Army,
without distinction between
main and subordinate forces.
We take orders from
both leaders of the armies.
Yes!
I'll give you back the jade hairpin.
This is the token of the city lord.
Today's Yueluo
no longer needs to
rely on tokens anymore.
A jade hairpin is just a jade hairpin.
It's only natural to
return it to its original owner.
Thank you.
After this war,
I'll definitely become
a better city lord
than my father and yours.
I'll make Yueluo return
to prosperity and tranquility,
and the people
will go back to
their peaceful lives again.
By then,
you can take Jiang Ci home.
Jade hairpin?
Lord Hong truly has an
extraordinary demeanor today.
What do you mean by today?
I am extraordinary every single day.
Yu Lian,
the war is coming,
I'm worried,
- on the battlefield
- Don't talk nonsense.
We don't know what will happen tomorrow.
I don't want to have any regrets.
I know.
I'm not the kind of person you like,
but I like you.
You are the person I've determined
to share both joys and hardships
in this lifetime.
If we win this war,
will you
give me a chance?
Then, you have to promise me
to come back
safely.
(Yueluo City)
(Qingkang)
(Hongtai Hall)
Your Majesty,
Liangzhou has fallen.
You Ran has died in battle,
and the surrounding towns
have been occupied by Wei's army.
The current situation
is not beneficial for us.
With Gao Xiu personally in command,
the morale of Wei's army
has greatly increased,
which is truly disadvantageous
for our forces.
Although Pei Yan and Wei Zhao have met,
it is uncertain whether they
will become the cornerstones
of stability in the army or not.
The next battle
will be crucial to determining victory.
Pei Yan and Wei Zhao
are indeed good commanders,
but defending the border
and protecting the land
are my responsibilities.
It is time
for me to meet Gao Xiu.
Your Majesty, are you going
to fight in person?
Danger on the front line
is unpredictable.
Your Majesty, please think twice.
Your Majesty loves the people,
hence leading the expedition
and willing to join the army
in eliminating the enemy.
It's indeed a blessing
for our Liang State.
What do you think?
Father, as the Emperor,
it is right to follow heaven's will
to bless the people.
As your son, I believe in
your bravery and skill in battle.
If you go to battle personally,
I request to accompany you
to share your worries.
We will follow His Highness's words
and prepare accordingly.
- We obey the order.
- We obey the order.
(Yueluo)
(The necessary path
is filled with traps.)
(The news of discord between Liang
and Yueluo people has spread.)
(Lu Yu and Lei Zhen are self-willed,)
(and they'll compete for credit
with the opposing side.)
(So they'll plan a surprise attack.)
(We must eliminate these two
and their elite forces)
(to gain a greater advantage
in the larger conflict.)
Where is the blueprint?
Although the situation was tense,
everyone still worked together
to complete it.
Your Lordship,
we may find a time
to try the Phoenix Crossbow.
Why does that man look familiar?
Lu Yu's spy is in the army.
I'm afraid he has already
tipped him off.
We must not allow
Young Master's plan to fail.
I will think of a way to lure Lu Yu
to Mingyue Valley.
No,
this is too dangerous.
No, it's too late.
Inform Young Master quickly.
General, the allied forces
have set up an ambush.
If we attack from the front,
I'm afraid we won't have an advantage.
Wei Zhao and Pei Yan, how wonderful.
Let Lei Zhen go face this thunder.
Once he suffers losses,
Emperor of Wei State will know
who to rely on in the future.
Any information about Phoenix Crossbow?
I am not competent enough.
They are extremely careful
so I couldn't get any information.
Is there really such a great weapon
as the Phoenix Crossbow in this world?
General Lu,
I saw the allied forces were
developing it day and night.
Pei Yan and Wei Zhao also
attached great importance to it.
I'm afraid they intend to use this
to win by surprise.
How bold.
Who are you?
Liu?
General Lu,
the road ahead is full of traps!
You must not go there!
You are still alive?
When you were leaving
Liangzhou in a hurry,
I had nowhere to go
so I could only go back to Yueluo.
However, they bullied and cursed me,
with no respect to me at all.
I hate them to my core.
I heard that they were planning
to ambush you today
and got worried
so I purposely came to report to you.
Do you think I am
a three-year-old child?
I have been following you
since I was ten.
I have no one else to rely on
other than you.
Please give me another chance.
I am willing to dedicate
the weapon to you.
What weapon?
This is the secret weapon
invented by the allied forces,
the Phoenix Crossbow.
(Internal structure of the crossbow box)
(Phoenix Crossbow blueprint)
Why is there only half of it?
I only participated in
the production of this part.
I could only rely on memory
to draw this out for you.
However, I know
where they hide the
unfinished Phoenix Crossbow,
and I can take you to find it
to help you gain victory.
Liu,
you have made
a great contribution this time.
After I return to camp,
I will reward you well.
Thank you, General Lu.
(Mingyue Valley, Yueluo)
Liu,
are you sure this is the right path?
General, don't worry,
I can't be mistaken.
Liu,
why did you bring me here?
You owe something from here.
How dare you deceive me?
I have followed you for several years.
Of course, I know
how to deceive you.
Let me tell you the truth.
Even half of the blueprint is also fake.
Kill him! Kill!
Do you have a death wish?
I'm not afraid of death
for Yueluo.
Then I will make it happen.
Come here if you dare.
If you do, I will kill him.
Leave me be!
Lu Yu,
you have no way out.
Let him go.
See you on the battlefield.
Wei Zhao,
I really didn't expect
you to actually care about
the life and death of a Yueluo slave.
That masked man on the city wall
is Xiao Haitian's son, right?
In the battle of Zhuzhou,
when those from Yueluo
suddenly joined the fight,
I found it strange at the time.
Your marching style in the battle
of Mount Mingyue seemed familiar to me.
We have fought each other before.
You are Xiao Wuxia.
I really didn't expect
that you'd been hiding
with Xie Che for so long.
Xie Che,
you deserve to be alone.
Back then,
I deceived everyone
and sent you to Yueluo.
I didn't expect you to be ungrateful.
He came to Yueluo
20 years ago?
Do you have evidence?
If I had evidence,
I would have rebelled long ago.
Why wait until today?
To keep my mouth shut,
he made me a general
before taking my son as a hostage.
He caused my son
to be separated from me forever.
Lu Yu,
let him go.
I can give you a way out.
You want me to let him go?
Sure,
take off one of your arms first.
Young Master,
you are my savior.
I was born in Yueluo,
and I will also die in Yueluo.
Lu Yu,
it's time for you to repay
the blood debts you owe to Yueluo.
(Tomb of Liu)
He had a slender body, yet he possessed
so much strength.
Lu Yu died while
Lei Zhen's elites fell to the ambush
and got severely diminished.
Today, I witnessed
Yueluo's spirit and character.
Only victory
can reward these heroic souls.
What Yueluo wants
is never victory.
They just hope
that one day,
when I ask the world
why Yueluo is to blame,
the people of the world
will have a response.
I have never seen someone
who is as immune to
fatigue and pain as him before.
We are all humans,
how can he not feel pain?
This is Phoenix Crossbow
Ziming invented
with reference to the war books.
As expected of Mr. Cui.
I can finally
share some of your burden.
After the defeat of the Wei army today,
Gao Xiu will surely take action.
The final battle is coming very soon.
Despite the fact that the Wei army
suffered heavy losses today,
our military strength
is still far behind them.
How many Phoenix crossbows
are there in total?
We did not carry all our supplies
when we were occupied
with retreating then.
There are only ten available now.
Expand the front troops
and transfer the main force
to the four flanking armies
in the front, rear, left, and right.
This will
allow us to withstand
the enemy's initial assault
and provide the central army
with time for timely maneuvering.
However, the central army is weak
and merely on the defensive,
so we still have no chance of victory.
If Wei's army fails to capture us,
we can take the opportunity
to identify their weakest points.
By then,
I will lead Yueluo's elite troops
to break through.
We can first utilize Phoenix Crossbows
to disrupt the enemy
before General Wei
takes the opportunity
to directly penetrate
the enemy's center.
It's a tough move.
It is extremely dangerous
for Yueluo's elite forces
to attack the enemy's central army.
Don't we still have you?
If the enemy's central army is unstable,
they will surely return to defend from
the front, rear, and flanks.
By then,
whether the Liang's army can
successfully encircle the opposite
will depend on Shaojun.
His Majesty personally leads
the expedition.
His Majesty's grace is vast
and strengthens the might of our army.
His Majesty leads the expedition!
His Majesty's grace is vast
and strengthens the might of our army.
His Majesty's grace is vast and
strengthens the might of our army.
What did you bring here?
Is this enough for you
to be happy for a while?
His Majesty is not just here
for the personal expedition, right?
I'm afraid
he fears me even more now.
The more he fears someone,
the more he wants to get rid of
that person.
My father,
my master,
and your sister
all share the same fate.
Even if the road ahead is difficult,
I need to go on.
I'll keep you company.
