Today,

we

fight together,

and we die together

in honor and disgrace.

Destroy the enemy invaders,

and secure the country.

Fight together, and die together

Jiang Ci.

Be careful on the b*ttlefield.

I'll wait for your return.

I'm sorry.

I can't let him find you.

I'll be back.

Mr. Ping,

take her away.

Young Master

Sure.

Attack!

Attack!

Attack

Left wing, right wing,

support the front line.

Charge!

Charge!

Charge!

Attack!

Attack!

Wei Zhao is indeed no ordinary man.

The difference in military strength

is so vast,

yet he is still holding on.

Increase our forces.

Surround them.

Our army is about to be encircled.

Should we proceed as planned?

Attack!

Attack

(The enemy will surely use their

superior numbers to encircle us.)

(Once their wings break formation,)

(I'll lead the troops to break through.)

(But the remaining allied

forces will be surrounded.)

(Since we are allies,)

(we have no choice

but to trust each other,)

(to be each other's vanguard)

(and shield.)

Recall the front line,

and support the center troops.

Quickly!

Protect me and retreat.

Hurry, go!

Allied forces, hear my command.

Attack with all your strength!

Attack

Attack!

Are you still fighting?

Listen.

Gao Xiu, Emperor of Wei,

invaded our homeland.

Today, you have been defeated.

Out of goodwill,

Liang will accept your surrender,

Let the soldiers comply.

Commander Wei truly lives up

to his name.

Return to the palace.

Father, are you going

to the b*ttlefield?

The battle has been won.

Why bother going?

Return to the palace.

Commander Wei.

Commander Wei.

The intense battle

has triggered the poison.

I'll administer the acupuncture

right away.

Jiang Ci must not know.

I have already sent her away

to fetch the medicine box.

Rest assured, Commander Wei.

(Secret Residence, Yueluo)

When did you wake up?

I thought I sent you away.

Why did you come back?

Mr. Ping,

where are you taking me?

I can't leave him alone.

Miss Jiang,

please don't

go against the Young Master's

good intentions.

(Since I met him,)

(I've never abandoned him.)

(That's how it's been,)

(that's how it is,)

(and that's how it will always be.)

Miss Jiang.

Miss Jiang.

I know you sent me away for my own good,

but I don't want to go anywhere.

I just want to stay here.

I won't be a burden.

Congratulations.

Nine lives,

and not one was lost.

Are you hungry?

Wait here.

It looks terrible.

It's not like you have never

eaten it before.

He's arrived.

Yes.

Rest assured.

I will never let him hurt you again.

What about you?

I will end this.

Sanlang.

Ci.

Shaojun.

How are your injuries, Sanlang?

Nothing too serious.

You two have a chat.

I'll go prepare some food.

Do you know

His Majesty is coming?

Yes.

You captured Gao Xiu,

forced a peace treaty

and won the respect of the three armies.

His Majesty has always been wary of you.

Now, I fear

it will only get worse.

The tree desires calm,

but the wind won't stop.

He's long had the intent to k*ll me.

Whatever I do,

there's no turning back now.

Rather than live in fear,

I will face him head-on.

That's my only hope of survival.

What is your plan, Sanlang?

I intend to reveal the truth

about Prince Qi's case

in front of the three armies,

to redress justice for my father

and Yueluo.

This is a death wish.

At this point,

it's the only thing I can do

for my father and Yueluo.

What crime has Yueluo committed?

Who else but me can bear this burden?

Just pretend you know nothing

lest you get implicated.

What crime has Yueluo committed?

I will respond to your call

on behalf of the world.

What harm is there in that?

I have been taught since childhood

to fight for my family's interests.

In the end,

family ties were severed,

close friends were harmed

and I was estranged from my loved ones.

Apart from fighting,

I know nothing else.

Are you going to keep fighting?

Of course.

In this world,

whether good or bad,

nothing comes without a price.

To punish evil, we must fight.

To uphold justice, we must

fight even more.

This time,

it's a fight for the people,

for justice and righteousness.

I am willing to stand by your side

and fight

to restore justice for Yueluo.

Shaojun, I am grateful

for your righteousness.

Sanlang,

only today have I realized

that you and I are not opponents.

We are confidants

and friends.

Why are the streets of Yueluo

filled only with

the elderly and children?

Every year, Yueluo offers

sl*ves as tribute.

The young men and women

are sent to Liang.

Look at their faces.

They didn't want to be sl*ves,

so they scarred their own faces

and covered them with tattoos.

It is to encourage themselves

to face life with courage.

Back in Liang,

we were used to sl*very

as a form of tribute.

But Yueluo

has seen 20 years of broken families

and unbearable pain.

I never knew these things.

Your Highness,

Yueluo is a territory

of the Liang state,

and its people are also your subjects.

All they want is to live

like ordinary citizens,

to live in peace

and safety.

I know that you are

kind-hearted and benevolent,

but forgive me for speaking bluntly,

if you wish to become a wise ruler,

benevolence alone is not enough.

You must also

have the boldness

to surpass the Emperor.

Shaojun,

don't speak recklessly.

Do you truly not understand

what Princess Yong'an's trial

was all about?

If you only follow the Emperor's orders,

when will you ever become

a ruler who can stand on your own?

I'm torn between filial piety

and righteousness.

But he is my father.

What choice do I have?

What is it that you truly

want to uphold?

Loyalty to your father,

or righteousness for the people?

(Palace, Yueluo)

Father.

What is it?

If I may be so bold,

Father,

please restore justice for Yueluo.

Justice?

Back then,

the former lord of Yueluo, Xiao Haitian,

was accused of plotting

against my uncle, Prince Qi.

But there were no witnesses or evidence,

and many details were questionable.

If the people of Yueluo are

implicated again,

it would be an affront to humanity

and a travesty of justice.

Are you saying

that I wronged them?

You have always been a diligent

and kind ruler,

but I believe

that you may have been deceived

and passed a wrong judgment.

You are the ruler of the nation

and Yueluo's sovereign.

You should restore justice

to the people of Yueluo.

Who has been filling

your head with gossip?

You've taught me benevolence,

righteousness, propriety, and wisdom.

I know what is right and wrong.

I know we should rule the world

with benevolence,

govern the world with virtue,

secure the world with propriety,

and put the people first.

My beliefs

and my actions

are not influenced by anyone else.

It all comes from my own heart.

I will not

waver.

So, in your view,

what should I do?

I would like to organize a ceremony

to reward the three armies

on your behalf,

and to reward the soldiers of Yueluo,

thus restoring justice to Yueluo.

The three armies and all the people

will surely remember you

as a great and kind ruler.

If you say so,

you may proceed.

Father,

thank you.

Greetings,

Your Majesty.

You are indeed

a pillar of the nation, Sanlang.

Your reputation now echoes

throughout the three armies.

I

am unsure

how to reward you.

The defeat of the Wei army

was not my doing.

If anyone is to be rewarded,

it's the soldiers and people of Yueluo.

I have already ordered

the Crown Prince to organize

a grand ceremony in three days

to reward the three armies.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Besides the soldiers who fought bravely,

I've also heard about a physician

with miraculous healing skills.

I should reward her as well.

The army's physicians

are all skilled and kind.

I thank you on their behalf.

You seem to be hiding someone.

There's no one in the army

that would be of interest to you.

I have nothing to hide.

If that's the case,

then we will decide the rewards

and punishments

on the day of the grand ceremony.

Your Majesty.

Everything is ready.

Sanlang is no longer the boy

he once was.

It all began with Yueluo,

so it shall end with Yueluo.

You're back.

Why aren't you asleep yet?

All thanks to you

for coming back so late.

Come.

Sit here,

I'll help you dry the clothes.

There, it's done.

Now it's your turn to push me.

Last time, I let you off easy.

When all this is over,

I'll build a small house,

and move this swing there.

That way, no matter how far we go,

we'll always have a place to call home.

This swing is clearly mine,

and you think you can just move it?

Who said this swing is yours?

(Ci, Xia)

Sit down.

You're always mooching food and drinks,

why don't you stay here?

Now that I'm no longer

a commander,

I'm afraid

I don't even have money

to pay rent anymore.

Then work

for me.

If you do your chores well enough,

I might just take you in.

You're giving me all the work,

what about you?

Me?

I'll sit here on the swing

and supervise.

Fine.

If you say so.

Tomorrow is the reward ceremony.

I've asked Yifei to guard this place.

As long as you stay hidden,

you'll be fine.

What about you?

Me?

Of course, I'll go receive

my rewards and honors.

Once the ceremony is over tomorrow,

you'd better come straight home.

Your pinching skill is improving

day by day.

Whoever ends up marrying you

would be one unlucky man.

But compared to how you

hurt me back then,

it's nothing.

Wouldn't you agree?

If only this night

could last a little longer.

I've already given you the swing,

why are you still unhappy?

I don't want the swing.

I want you.

Come back soon.

Wait for my return.

(Happiness)

(I've never feared death.)

(But since I met you,)

(I realized that this world)

(isn't all darkness and pain.)

(There are many things

worth cherishing.)

(So I began)

(to long for more.)

(In order to save me,)

(you pretended to be my wife.)

(To you, it was a temporary measure,)

(but to me, it was a lifelong promise.)

(You're the only one for me, Jiang Ci.)

(The future is uncertain.)

(So I'm sealing)

(our marriage right now.)

(First bow to the heavens.)

♪ Fortunate to walk together,

even for a moment ♪

(Second bow to the earth.)

♪ Who could have known

how we'd arrive at today ♪

♪ A wilted heart with no one

to depend on ♪

♪ Is the reason I cannot bear to part ♪

♪ Our last burning memory in my heart ♪

(Third bow to my wife.)

♪ No more memories of you ♪

♪ A wilted heart with no one

to depend on ♪

♪ Is the reason I cannot bear to part ♪

♪ Our last burning memory in my heart ♪

♪ From then on, no more pain or regret ♪

♪ No more memories of you ♪

Yifei,

guard this place with your life.

I will.

As for Jiang Ci,

I'll leave her in your care, Ziming.

His Majesty will definitely move in

on Jiang Ci during the ceremony.

She must not be discovered.

Rest assured,

I will protect Ci with my life.

Today's ceremony

could be a trap.

Besides, you have no evidence.

At this point,

there is no other way.

Since I've taken this route,

I won't turn back.

What's this?

Are you planning to leave me behind?

Without you,

no plan would be complete.

Shaojun,

let's go.

Take your men

and find Princess Yong'an.

Today's a grand occasion.

It'd be a shame if they missed it.

Yes.

We welcome Your Majesty.

Everyone, rise.

- Thank you, Your Majesty.

- Thank you, Your Majesty.

You, the soldiers of the three armies,

have defended our great state

and repelled the foreign invaders.

You deserve praise and merit.

I

have brought fine liquor and meat

to reward you all.

When you return to Liang,

I will personally

grant you titles and rewards.

- Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.

- Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.

Father,

the soldiers of Yueluo fought valiantly

against the Wei.

Please grant them the same rewards

so that they may be consoled.

Anyone who has contributed

to our nation,

regardless of any past crimes,

will be

treated equally

and rewarded accordingly.

People of Yueluo,

do you have anything to say?

We, the people of Yueluo,

humbly accept the decree.

Your Majesty,

I have something to say.

Wei Zhao,

what do you wish to say?

I wish to speak about

Prince Qi's case from 20 years ago.

Prince Qi's old case?

What is there to say?

The injustice in Yueluo

must be addressed today.

- The injustice in Yueluo

- must be addressed today.

- must be addressed today.

The former lord of Yueluo, Xiao Haitian,

was a man of honor.

He was not the actual m*rder*r

of Prince Qi.

If it wasn't Xiao Haitian,

then who was it?

The true m*rder*r of Prince Qi

Mother, why are you here?

Didn't you ask us to come celebrate?

Yes.

Today's reward ceremony

is meant for the people of Yueluo

to share in the victory.

Wei Zhao,

step forward.

Wei Zhao,

you just said Xiao Haitian was wronged,

and that Yueluo was wronged.

Why don't you explain it

in front of the people of Yueluo?

Your Lordship,

what's happening?

His Majesty is using the people

of Yueluo to intimidate Sanlang,

making it hard for him to speak.

Order the Changfeng Guards

to be vigilant.

Make sure

the people are protected.

(Mount Mingyue, Yueluo)

What do you see?

Our home.

Do you know what I see?

Our home.

Mr. Ji's home,

Madam Ping's home,

and the homes of all

the people of Yueluo.

I'm not a hero,

nor do I want to be one.

I just want to protect this land,

this home.

That's why I practice

the art of the blade.

One day, you will understand

its true significance.

Then you will understand

the words I'm telling you today.

Why aren't you speaking?

I spoke recklessly.

I do not know who

actually m*rder*d Prince Qi.

Prince Qi

died in Yueluo

during a peace talk.

The Xiao family

should bear all the blame.

But the injustice of Yueluo

cannot go unaddressed.

For speaking falsely,

I could sentence you

and your entire family to death.

The crimes of the Xiao family

should be borne by them alone.

But the mistakes of the

former lord of Yueluo

should not continue to implicate

the people of Yueluo.

The people of Yueluo have

already suffered for 20 years.

They have endured the pain

of broken homes

and torn families.

In the battle between Liang and Wei,

the people of Yueluo

fought bravely

to protect their land

and the nation's fate.

Yueluo

is part of the Liang state.

The people of Yueluo

are also Your Majesty's subjects.

All they desire is to live in peace,

to reunite with their loved ones,

and to be with the people

they care about.

I earnestly request Your Majesty

to abolish all harsh policies

against Yueluo

and pardon Yueluo.

Please, Your Majesty, pardon Yueluo.

Wei Zhao,

in what identity are you speaking to me?

I

am Wei Zhao, commander of the

Light Bureau of Liang.

In this lifetime,

my allegiance

is to you, Your Majesty.

Having fought

alongside the soldiers

and civilians of Yueluo,

I was moved by their courage.

I hereby

plead on their behalf.

Even if it means giving up everything,

I will have no regrets.

I humbly request Your Majesty

to pardon Yueluo.

I too fought alongside the soldiers

and civilians of Yueluo.

I wish to plead for Yueluo.

Your Majesty, please pardon Yueluo.

Your Majesty, please pardon Yueluo.

I

also wish to plead for Yueluo.

Father, please pardon Yueluo.

As I have said,

anyone who has contributed

to the Liang state

will be rewarded.

I

hereby pardon Yueluo.

Long live

the Emperor.

- Long live the Emperor

- Long live the Emperor

Wei Zhao,

since I have granted your request

and pardoned Yueluo,

you will accompany me

to Zhaixing Pavilion

to pay homage to Prince Qi.

I

accept your command.
