[Love like the Galaxy]

[Episode 12]

Kneel!

Kneel!

- Come here.
- Don't!

I'm begging you. Release him!

Those in Hua County, listen to me.

These are your relatives related by blood.

If your County Governor still doesn't open the gate and surrender,

I will cut off the heads of everyone!

I'll dig out their hearts and gouge out their livers to show you!

I'm begging you! Please spare him! Spare him!

NO!

You beasts!

I'm going to k*ll you!

Every fifteen minutes, I'll k*ll one person.

I'll see if Hua County's city gates are stronger,

or these lowly peasants' necks are stronger.

If you have the guts, come out and fight.

I'll spare the lives of everyone in the city, then.

Father.

My Lord, there are too many bandits outside.

You mustn't open the city gates, My Lord!

How can I...

as the governing officer of Hua County,

watch the people...

get slaughtered by the bandits...

and I just hide my head in the shell like a turtle?

The reason they're attacking Hua County...

is to lay an ambush for His Majesty

during his Western trip.

I won't let them get their way.

If they wish to take Hua County,

they'll have to step over my dead body.

No, Father!

Later, I'll go out and lure the bandits away.

Let the fastest officers in the city break out of the siege.

They must report Hua County's situation to His Majesty

and seek General Ling's aid.

- Father!
- My Lord! My Lord!

- I'll go with you.
- We'll also go with you.

We will follow you, My Lord.

We'll k*ll the enemies until we die.

You are indeed the best sons of Hua County. Prepare the copper liquid.

Once I leave the city gate, solder the gate permanently.

Until all the bandits are dead, do not open the city!

We swear to k*ll the enemies until we die! We swear to k*ll the enemies until we die!

Open the city gate!

Come back quickly!

Come back quickly!

Come back!

Come back!

Come back!

Niao Niao!

I was too fatigued just now and actually fell asleep.

I had a nightmare.

Eldest Aunt, please go ahead and rest.

Leave these ledgers to me.

Yang Yang is considerate.

Not like Niao Niao, who only knows to upset me.

Even in dreams, Eldest Aunt still thinks about Niao Niao.

It proves that you still care and think of her.

It's late. Go rest early.

There's no rush to learn how to handle household affairs.

Yes.

When Madam followed General in battles in the past,

you used to fall asleep while reading the w*r reports,

and even calling out Young Lady's name.

Unexpectedly, now that you are at home, you still have to worry about Young Lady so much.

This is how parents are everywhere in the world. No matter where you are,

you still think about the children.

I'm not worried about her safety.

I'm just worried and hope that she won't make trouble again.

You and I are the only ones here.

So what if you are worried about her?

What can I do no matter how much I'm worried about her?

She thinks it was pitiful to be left with the Cheng family.

That's because she's never seen those who are truly pitiful.

How would she know

how we lived during all those years?

Little b*stard.

You want to die!

It's the Black-Armored Guards!

It's Ling Buyi.

k*ll them all.

Retreat!

Uncle, are you the new county magistrate?
[T/N: "Uncle" here is meant as a term addressing older men]

My grandfather asked me to give this to you.

Nan Nan, do you remember in grandfather's study

there is a red box?

I do.

Go get it and hide it well.

When the uncle from the Cheng family comes to take on the county magistrate position,

give it to him.

You tell him that the people of Hua County

will be in his care.

I understand.

Young Lord!

- Be aware of ambush.
- Are you hurt?

Uncle, are you all right?

I'm fine.

Young Lord.

- Get her to medical care.
- Understood.

Young Lord.

We must get to His Majesty's camp right away.

Only those physicians can treat such a deep wound.

Are all the rebels dead?

Their leader Fan Chang escaped with some of his followers.

I have sent troops to encircle and suppress them. He will have no escape.

Give the seal to the incoming county magistrate.

Young Lord, the incoming county magistrate is General Cheng's third brother, Cheng Zhi.

I heard Fourth Miss is also coming here as his family member.

Who did you say is with them?

The Fourth Miss of the Cheng family, Cheng Shaoshang.

Cheng Zhi and his party left a long time ago and should've arrived yesterday.

Fan Chang's rebellion means his supporters might also be nearby.

Young Lord, I worry...

Get me some men to canvass the area for rebels. If we see bandits, we k*ll bandits.

If we see an enemy, we k*ll an enemy.

Hurry up!

Isn't Young Lord injured? Where is he going now?

Shut up and go save the people!

Did you send people out with a message?

You guys fear that we would send a message out because you are not bandits.

The more you know, the quicker you die.

By then, you will end up the same as your maidservant.

Where is A'Miao?

Your maidservant was also a tough one.

She was tortured for hours and she still didn't die.

I gave her a quick death with my sword.

I'll have you pay back with your life.

Go!

Don't be afraid. I'm here.

Young Lord, let's go back to camp now. Your wound can't wait.

Who dressed your wound?

Fourth Miss Cheng dressed it. The lady is impressive.

Blood and torn flesh didn't faze her.

Fourth Miss Cheng dressed your wound?

Y-Yes.

Is Young Lord upset?

Older Brother, did I do something wrong again?

- Instead of dressing your arm, you might as well chop it off.
- I...

Hang in there.

Not good, the would is too deep.

The bleeding won't stop! We need to use the iron to cauterize it. Someone come lend a hand!

I'm coming.

Hang in there! It'll be done soon.

Hurry! Hurry!

Hang in there.

That's enough. The bleeding has stopped.

This handkerchief has some calming powder on it.

If you're not used to the smell of blood, you can use it to cover your nose and mouth.

Thank you, General Ling.

Miss Cheng, you don't need to be afraid anymore. There won't be anymore danger.

If it weren't for you coming to save us,

who knows if we would be alive right now.

I don't have that much strength and you have some injured soldiers.

To prevent any delays in the troop's march, why don't you leave the injured soldiers here?

I'll take good care of them.

Are you telling me to leave all my injured soldiers here?

Yes.

If you have other plans, I don't dare to question them.

Why can it only be them?

Am I...

not allowed to stay?

General, why would you stay?

To heal.

Young Lord hasn't rested for a day and night.

In order to save you, he didn't even attend to his wounds.

A'Fei, don't be rude.

General Ling, you broke off the tail of the arrow on your own.

Less than half an inch of the arrowhead is exposed on the skin.

We need to pull out the arrow, but there's no place for us to use force.

I fear we can only cut through the wound.

Do it then.

But I don't know the technique of suture.

If I use force to cut it, I fear you won't stop bleeding.

I only know very basic medical skills.

I'm unable to treat your wound. General, please forgive me.

Young Lord, please bear with this for a bit longer. I'm going to find a military physician.

Even if you use the fastest horse, it will still take days to get a military physician.

Can we afford to delay treating Young Lord's injury?

I have a method...

but I don't know if it will work.

It will work.

- Young Lord, Miss Cheng hasn't said anything yet...
- If Young Lord says it will work, it will work.

Is this string firm?

This is not an ordinary string.

This is the Shaoshang string of a zither.
[T/N: Seventh string of the zither]

My name came from this.

Since this is the case,

I will have to trouble you then.

It's not a problem.

Is this Shaoshang string...

a gift from your beloved one?

It can be considered so.

It's a gift from Sister Qiqi.

Her foresight is not bad.

Do it.

General Ling, does it hurt?

Does your hand hurt?

That's good.

Bandage it now.

Does Young Lord feel that something is off about this arrow?

This is one of the newest fine iron weapons from the military.

It's been stored in the warehouse that Warehouse Keeper Dong guarded.

Now that it's in the hands of these people,

- you can see...
- You can see General was right.

Shu is now disloyal.

These people secretly bought military weapons in order to revolt.

The people out there aren't bandits, but a rebel army.

I-I'm only guessing.

It might not be true. It might not be true.

During His Majesty's trip to the West, he heard that there was a rebellion in Hua County,

so he ordered me to go and suppress the bandits first.

Luckily, the disaster was extinguished soon after it started.

General Ling, what are you going to do with the rebel army out there?

Why were so many left alive?

These cowardly rats were vicious when they plundered women and children.

When they saw they couldn't win, they surrendered real fast.

Rebels must be k*lled.

But stealing weapons only gets you an exile.

You guys choose what conviction you want.

Really? We were only stealing weapons.

Someone sold us these military weapons a few days ago.

Who sold you these military weapons?

This... we don't know.

Fine.

Take them away and k*ll them all.

Yes!

Why aren't you keeping your word?

Hold on.

Let me tell you guys.

With your type of people, there's no need to keep promises.

As military officers, you know that weapons are as important as their lives to the soldiers on the b*ttlefield.

Yet you still dare to steal military weapons.

You deserve to die.

We were also forced into it.

General Fan Chang forced us.

He is dissatisfied that His Majesty had him stationed in Shu,

so he stole the weapons to expand his armaments.

Forced into it?

Clearly, you are greedy for power and money.

All of this is what you reap for yourselves.

Why are you acting pitiful?

Young Lord, it's unlucky to k*ll the surrendered.

I'll do it.

I'll k*ll them.

It's unlucky to k*ll the surrendered, but they didn't surrender to me.

It's no problem if I k*ll them.

My maidservant A'Miao, household servants, carriage driver...

all of them were k*lled by them.

We only foupnd parts of that woman's body.

Are you guys even people?

Since you don't want to be people,

then today you guys can be beasts.

I'll treat you like animals

and slaughter you as animals are slaughtered.

You dare!

When we turn into resentful ghosts, we will bite you and tear you up all night.

Take them away.

Move!

You stay here. You've never seen that scene.

- If you see it, you'll have nightmares.
- I won't have nightmares.

I have to personally see how those beasts die.

Listen to me.

Stay here.

Your maidservant's kidnapping wasn't your fault.

In a situation with no preparation, you already did very well.

Before you sleep tonight, drink some calming soup.

Got it?

Stealing military weapons,

k*ll!

Who's there?

Didn't I tell you not to come?

- Niao Niao! Niao Niao!
- Shaoshang!

- Slow down, My Lord.
- Niao Niao.

Niao Niao.

Are you all right? Where's your Third Aunt?

Shunhua! Shunhua!

- Shaoshang, are you all right?
- Shunhua!

Shaoshang.

Shunhua...

I'm really sorry. From now on, no matter what happens,

I won't leave you even by half a step.

Wife, you didn't know. That Lou Yao is skinny like a chicken and gets scared easily.

He fainted three times along the way.

Luckily, I was calm.

Tell me. I told you to get reinforcements.

Why did it take so long?

I...

I'll tell. I'll tell.

Don't be angry.

It was because Lord Cheng passed out several times.

Lord Cheng, bad news. Shaoshang and Madam Cheng have been besieged.

So, Young Master Lou is the only one who escaped?

Let's hurry to go save them.

Wife! Niao Niao!

I... I've come late.

- Lord Cheng!
- My Lord!

Lord Cheng.

Lord Cheng.

- Lord Cheng, let's hurry—
- Shunhua!

Niao Niao, I... I've come late.

Lord Cheng! Lord Cheng!

Lord Cheng!

These are Shunhua's belongings.

Lord Cheng.

It's all right. I can hold on.

These are Shunhua's belongings. Shunhua's belongings...

I've come late. I'm late.

In other words,

to find me and Third Aunt, you were going around and around in circles on the way,

and spent a whole day around the foot of the mountain.

It was a day and night.

Along the whole way, you didn't run into the bandits?

It was so safe and easy?

I guess the bandits were all in the mountain to besiege you.

So we were safe all along the way.

Third Uncle was indeed born with a good fate.

We went through dire straits along the way.

We were pursued by K*llers. You guys, however,

didn't even get any broken skin.

Heaven truly plays favors.

No, no, Shaoshang. You are beautiful and kindhearted.

Heaven will give you blessings.

See? Didn't you run into General Ling?

He even dispatched the Black-Armored Guards to protect us. He is really a good person.

The blood isn't dry yet.

Fan Chang hasn't escaped far.

- Search ahead.
- Yes!

This handkerchief has some calming powder on it.

If you're not used to the smell of blood,

you can use it to cover your nose and mouth.

Thank you, General Ling.

This...

Say what you're thinking.

Young Lord, despite injuries, you came to rescue Fourth Miss Cheng. It's already very righteous.

Why did you still tell Older Brother to escort her all the way to Hua County?

After all, she is the family member of Hua County's new magistrate.

All along this way, we don't know if there are still Fan Chang's remnants.

We must be careful, naturally.

That's it?

What else, then?

Hold out your hand.

You stay here to guard.

I'll lead men to keep going forward

so that Fan Chang will have nowhere to escape.

Yes.

Since Young Lady has already arrived safely in Hua County,

I will bid farewell.

Thank you, Officer, for this journey.

Father... Father...

Father!
