~Episode 39~
Commander, weren't we going to find Head Commander to go punish that woman?
Do you have the brain of a pig?
That woman just accomplished a great deed;
that idiot Crown Prince from Liang Dynasty is also attracted to her!
At this time, who dares to punish her?
Then, Commander, are we just going to let this go?
If not, what else can we do?
Originally, I wanted to make a fortune using this opportunity,
and get rid of He Xiao at the same time.
Who would have predicted this uninvited guest?
If this situation gets out of hand and the Military Department finds out,
I will die... and none of you can escape!
Goddamn... I don't even know who is plotting against the Xiuli Army.
Are they plotting against He Xiao or me?
Commander, in my opinion, it's best to let them all go.
No rush. Let them kneel for a day.
Go.
Yes!
Mister, there's a letter for you.
Who is it from?
I don't know. They left it at the gate and left.
[Xing'er is in trouble. Please rush to where Xiuli Army is stationed to rescue her.]
Trainer Chu, your complexion looks very bad.
Are you all right?
Are you injured?
If you are unwell, don't push it.
I'll escort you back.
Kneel down. Do you think you're not dying fast enough?
Don't worry, when the Chief Commander comes back to camp, he will set us free.
Right now, let's wait quietly.
Tell them to go back.
There's no need for them to wait here.
Trainer Chu, you're getting punished because of us. How can we go back?
Do whatever you like then.
Trainer Chu...
Where's Xue Zhileng?
He's been gone for half a day. Where has he gone?
The Commanding Official has gone to report to the Chief Commander.
Deputy Commander, don't get impatient.
If you want to die, you have to have some patience.
You...!
I'm telling you all! Don't you dare step out of line!
You were all in the wrong in the first place.
If you dare to cause any trouble, nobody can protect you.
You dare?!
All of you, stop!
Trainer Chu!
I'm really fine.
Tell them to not act rashly.
You, go find Xue Zhileng!
I'm telling you. If anything happens to Trainer Chu,
everyone in the Xiuli Army will avenge her.
Where can I find him?
Are you going or not?
Trainer Chu!
Emperor, you asked me to monitor the different military camps.
Today, nothing much has happened.
Apart from Deputy Commander Yuwen Yue from the Knights Camp, who went to the Xiuli Army camp,
and took the Archery Trainer, Chu Qiao, who was punished to kneel.
I see. You can go now.
I will leave now.
Have you noticed that Yan Xun has been protecting Yuwen Yue?
Emperor, why do you say that?
He knows that I do not want him to get too close to the military.
If he hates Yuwen Yue, shouldn't he take this opportunity,
to say that he has a good relationship with Yuwen Yue and make me suspicious?
Emperor, you have made a good point.
Additionally, he seems to be very scared
that I will deploy Yuwen Yue away from the Knights Camp.
Why?
That is because he is afraid that General Yuwen will lose military power.
Then it means that Yuwen Yue holding military power is advantageous to him?
This is only my guess. General Yuwen is a very loyal subject.
He most likely won't do such a thing.
The great event is drawing near.
All guesses must be taken into account so that we can defend against it.
Once the guess becomes true, then it will be a great disaster.
Why are you shouting?
Why are you here?
This is my camp. Where can I go?
Then why am I here?
Mister!
What is it?
Who said so?
People from the palace of Noble Consort Wei said that they heard it from Eunuch Wang.
Quite a smart trick.
So you know all the things that Yan Xun is doing.
What do you mean?
What Yan Xun said is right.
In competing for grand matters, we can only rely on one's abilities.
But you two shouldn't celebrate that soon.
The time has not come yet.
Let us wait and see.
Yuwen Yue, you better explain things to me clearly!
[Yingge Garden]
Heir Apparent.
What time is it already? Ah Chu has not yet returned.
Heir Apparent, just wait a little more. She won't be in danger.
How do you know that she will be all right?
I was worried when Ah Chu went to Knights Camp alone.
Heir Apparent was also not in the manor.
Without any choice, I could only inform Yuwen Yue.
Heir Apparent, during critical times, we should use everything that can be used.
In the face of survival, one should keep aside romantic matters.
Zhong Yu...
You...
Yan Xun, what happened? Why are you in such a bad temper?
You're back. How are you?
I am fine.
Quickly let the doctor check.
Yan Xun, no need. I have an important matter to discuss with you.
Say it.
It's about the Xiuli Army.
During the time that I was in the Knights Camp, I interacted with them.
I discovered that all of them didn't really mean to become traitors.
Also, even though they are now part of the Wei Army,
they have been pushed aside repeatedly and are isolated.
All originated from the fact that they insist to maintain the unit designation and flag of the Xiuli Army.
Loyal soldiers?
Actually, their hearts lean towards Northern Yan.
Yan Xun, I cannot easily conclude if all of them are loyal soldiers.
But I feel that right now, we are in need of people.
Since their heart is directed towards Northern Yan, we should give them a chance.
Maybe we will be able to get unexpected rewards.
Heir Apparent, we are currently in need of people.
Since the members of the Xiuli Army has intentions to repent for their sins, we should give them a chance.
Tonight, Deyue Restaurant,
bring them to see me.
Okay.
Heir Apparent.
I have something to say.
Say it.
Deng Jia and Qu Yi are already being controlled by the men of Yuwen Yue. It is impossible for them to make any more movements.
If it's just us, escaping Chang'an will be harder than ascending to the skies.
Heir Apparent, we need people.
The only people that can be used now are the Xiuli Army.
They have been suffering from exclusion to begin with.
In addition to what happened today, they totally trust Ah Chu.
If Heir Apparent is willing to accept them,
they will become a sharp weapon of ours.
That is why you stole the command token of He Xiao and gave it to Xue Zhilang.
Let Xue Zhilang have a reason to trouble He Xiao in the military camp.
And then let Ah Chu save He Xiao so she can win the trust of the Xiuli Army.
And on the other hand, lure Yuwen Yue to save Ah Chu and let His Majesty doubt him.
Two birds with one stone.
I...
Your strategy was really good.
It's just that... did you not think about Ah Chu who is still badly injured?
What if Xue Zhilang used force on her and Yuwen Yue ignored her safety? What then?
We indeed need the Xiuli Army to help Heir Apparent occupy the city gates.
Zhong Yu, I know that you are loyal to me.
These past years, I was also lucky to have you serving me.
But I must warn you. From now on, you must not use Ah Chu.
If I learn that Ah Chu got hurt because of you, I will never forgive you.
Yes.
Go now.
Then about the Xiuli Army?
Go and do it.
Yes, I will do it right away.
Yan Xun, this is the Xiuli Army that I mentioned to you about.
This is Heir Apparent Yan. I'm sure that you have all seen him before.
Your Highness Heir Apparent, I, He Xiao, am the deputy commander of the Xiuli Army.
I, Ge Qi, am the left commandant of Xiuli Army.
I, Wu Danyu, am the right commandant of Xiuli Army.
Your Highness Heir Apparent, I have committed a crime. I have no face to see you.
I heard Ah Chu mention about you.
I actually refused to see you.
Although in the past, you were all just lowly soldiers
and the mountain pass getting broken through was the fault of your generals and commanders and had nothing to do with you.
But as soldiers of Northern Yan,
you watched your own family getting massacred, 200,000 soldiers and citizens dying in the sea of fire,
while all of you changed into the armors of the enemies and lived in their military camp.
While you guys lived there, three years went by.
No matter what, you all are traitor soldiers.
But Ah Chu told me that all of you were not living well inside the military camp.
You were being bullied and singled out.
It seems as if anyone can step on your heads.
I can resent all of you.
But in the end, you are all also citizens of Northern Yan.
All of you can return to Northern Yan and be the ghosts under my sword,
but you must not become dogs passing beneath other people's legs in a foreign land.
This, I will never allow.
That's why today,
I am willing to give you all another chance to follow and work under me.
I cannot guarantee that all of you can survive.
I also cannot guarantee any future fame, splendor, wealth, or position.
But as long as all of you are loyal and not subject yourselves to others,
when we are able to go back to Northern Yan,
all of you will have the right to go back to your province in a dignified and upright manner.
Heir Apparent...
We have committed a monstrous crime before.
These past three years, we suffered all kinds of torment and couldn't sleep well at night.
We feared of not having a chance to go back to Northern Yan in this lifetime!
Heir Apparent is giving us a favor tantamount to giving us a new lease on life today.
Our whole Xiuli Army can be ordered by Heir Apparent at your discretion!
Through mountains of blades, sea of fire, forest of spears, or a rain of arrows, we will never change!
The weather and all other things are dry.
- Never thought that His Highness is this generous and magnanimous. - Be careful of fire.
He is indeed the son of a duke.
How come I feel that it was too easy?
His Highness lost all his family before.
If it were me, killing us 3 would still not relieve my hatred.
Shut your devil's tongue. How can you compare yourself with His Highness?
Anyway, I feel that something is not right.
You don't believe Heir Apparent Yan?
Not really.
Trainer Chu, after what happened in the past,
we all thought that we wouldn't have the chance to return to Northern Yan in this lifetime.
But tonight, Heir Apparent personally accepted us.
It is indeed a bit different from what we expected.
Right, that is what I mean.
Although in the past, it wasn't us who initiated it,
but we are still a member of the Xiuli Army. We cannot shrug off the responsibility.
Heir Apparent Yan lost his whole family and barely survived his ordeal on the Forever Serene Platform.
These past years, he had to endure humiliation and suffered all kinds of bullying and insult while carrying his responsibilities.
Even if he asked us now to pay him with our lives, we would not have any complaints.
It's just that there are so many Xiuli Army brothers behind us.
In the past, they all just followed orders and were innocent.
I have no choice but to consider their safety.
I understand.
Commander He, I have followed Heir Apparent Yan for so many years.
I know him very well. He places importance on loyalty and friendships and would never easily make promises.
Believe me. Since he already promised you, he will definitely do it.
Since Trainer Chu says so, we will be at ease then.
Don't worry.
How about this? When we go back, we will make preparations. We will ready our horses and weapons.
We will be waiting to be called upon by Heir Apparent anytime.
Okay. Then you all must be careful and not let this matter get leaked.
Please don't worry. There's definitely no traitor among the Xiuli Army.
We will definitely bring Heir Apparent back to Northern Yan safely.
Trainer Chu, go now. We will also go back.
Okay.
Farewell.
- Let's go. - Yes.
Your Highness, please forgive me! I deserve to die!
What's wrong? What has happened?
Your Highness, forgive me! Little Prince, he... is missing.
What? Hao'er is missing? What nonsense are you saying?
Earlier, Mister Huai asked someone to deliver a box of silk.
During the time that I was taking care of it, Little Prince, he... I don't know where he went.
Damn you!
Your Highness, I deserve to die!
Have you already searched the whole Lanfu Palace?
I have already searched the whole Lanfu Palace.
I just don't know where Little Prince went.
Your Highness, have mercy! I deserve to die!
What does your death have to do with me?!
Will this lowly life of yours be able to compare with that of my son?!
I deserve to die! I deserve to die!
Your Highness, this matter is very grave.
How about we inform His Majesty about it first?
You said earlier that men of Yuwen Huai delivered a box of silk?
Yes.
Where is the box?
That box was so big and ugly.
After they moved out all the silk from the box, they lifted the box away.
Could it be...
Shut up!
No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today.
If anyone dares to blurt anything out, I will have his life!
Yes.
Go to Hongshan House and tell Yuwen Huai to see me.
Yes.
Come, come, Hao'er.
Move forward. Move forward.
Right. Right.
Mister Huai.
Bring the child back to the room.
Yes.
Mother!
- What is it? - Mister Huai.
Someone from Lanfu Palace came and is asking you to go there.
This bitch,
if I don't teach her a lesson,
she will not know how formidable I am.
Prepare my horse.
Yes.
Mister Huai, this way please.
Oh, my! Mister Huai, you are here.
Why are you looking for me?
His Majesty is looking for you and already sent someone to your manor.
I never thought that you were coming.
- His Majesty is looking for me? - That's right. Hurry and come with me already.
Come. Come.
Mister Huai! Her Highness Shuyi is still waiting for you!
Yuwen Huai and Zhao Dongting, you two each lead 500 palace guards.
This secret decree is the task that you two are going to do for me.
Act according to the decree on the grand wedding day of the princess.
You are not allowed to ask.
We will abide.
If the contents of this secret decree gets known by others,
I will kill myself as punishment.
I will do the same.
Okay.
Go now.
Brother Huai, I will take my leave now.
Brother Zhao, take care.
Mister Huai, Her Highness Shuyi is still waiting for you.
Let her wait then. I have something to do right now.
I will go visit her when I have time.
Yes.
He really said it that way?
Yes.
How dare him?!
Your Highness, maybe Mister Huai really needs to do something.
His Majesty just sent someone to call him for an audience.
It seems to be very urgent.
I am going out of the palace.
Your Highness! You must calm down.
Zhao Jieyu has been monitoring us everyday, constantly scared that you won't commit even a bit of mistake.
If at this time, you went out of the palace without permission and get discovered,
we still don't know what kind of crime she will put on you.
But Hao'er...
Mister Huai is still the uncle of Little Prince.
No matter how bold he is, he wouldn't dare do anything to Little Prince.
Just wait for a while longer and then send someone to Hongshan House to look for Little Prince.
Even if you want to leave the palace, you must look for the right timing and make preparations for it.
Qiaoqiao! Qiaoqiao! You came to visit me!
Stay away from me. Maintain an appropriate distance.
Qiaoqiao, the relationship between the two of us can be considered as a life and death relationship.
You being this heartless will make me sad.
Only a ghost will believe you.
Looking at how you are now, your injuries are healed?
I heard that you are leaving.
Yes, I am leaving. From whom did you hear it?
Do you already know who tried to abduct you that day?
Don't know. Do you know?
I also don't know.
But the other party is numerous and powerful. All are martial arts masters. Not very easy to deal with.
I can see that your guards all look unreliable.
Chang'an is thousands of miles away from Jiankang. Is it really all right to just let only them escort you?
What Qiaoqiao said is very reasonable.
Then, Qiaoqiao, what suggestion do you have?
Please look.
These are the strong and valiant soldiers we have here in Wei.
Each one are good in military strategy and have outstanding martial arts skills.
And also, they are very loyal and willing to do any work.
With them escorting you back, I guarantee that you will successfully arrive safely.
You won't even see any rats.
Miss Chu, this General Mu... Could it be that Mu An, Mu Zhongqing, right?
If he is still alive, I fear that he might already be more than 80 years old.
Correct. Although he is already over 80 years old, his body is still very strong.
You will be able to see him every morning strolling along Zhuque Road.
And with his energy, one against five of you is totally no problem.
Zhu Batian? This name is so domineering.
- Is he a very good fighter. - That's right.
He is a famous bandit in the southwest region. Everyone in the martial arts world knows him.
But he got caught by the officials and spent a lot of money.
Presently, he can be considered as someone who's trying to make up for his crimes with good merits. Just to save himself, he betrayed all his companions.
Right now, he's considered to be under my wing. Currently guarding the city defense camp.
Do you want to meet him?
This looks a bit more reliable.
Came from a military background. Even His Majesty said that his martial arts skills are the best.
Came from a noble family and has both intelligence and good fighting skills.
They're all right.
Yes, he's not bad. Very outstanding.
Although he has no military experience to lead a troop, he is very passionate.
As long as you say it, he will not complain and come immediately.
But you must first discuss it with his parents.
After all, he is just 12 years old. He has never traveled far.
All right. No need to read it anymore.
Qiaoqiao, I already decided.
Don't you want to understand it more?
This is a name list that we painstakingly chose for you.
No need. I really made a choice.
Who did you choose then?
Seventh Prince, Yuan Che.
You are indeed a crown prince. You have good sight.
Prince Yuan Che is the leader of the Knights Camp.
Before that, he has been in battles for a long time and is a general in the borders.
He has splendid war achievements, well versed in military strategies, and is a generous person.
He has vast experience, is fun and a sense of humor, and he knows geography very well.
More importantly, he is of noble status.
He is the best choice to escort you back to Jiankang.
You described him so well.
I already wanted to turn Tie You into a woman and marry him off to Yuan Che.
Really? There are also his good traits: Handsome, unconventional, and very manly.
When you see him throughout your journey, he will also be pleasing to your eyes.
Qiaoqiao, I really like you more and more.
Come back with me to Great Liang already.
I won't go. Just let Prince Yuan Che escort you.
Little fox. Cunning.
You want me to help you make Yuan Che leave.
Just say it directly. Why did you still beat around the bush with me?
Crown Prince also made a huge circle before expressing that you want to work with us, right?
This can be considered as adapting to the customs and following your footsteps.
Qiaoqiao, you know that I will definitely help you.
It's just that after helping you with such a huge favor,
how are you going to repay me?
I risked my life the last time to save you. I still haven't asked you to pay for it.
You actually want me to repay this kindness of yours?
I am repaying you right now by letting Prince Yuan Che escort you back.
Prepare the horse!
Crown Prince, where are you going?
To the royal palace to bid farewell to the Wei Emperor.
Yes.
Qiaoqiao,
when I leave, remember to send me off.
Your Highness, what crime has General Yuwen committed?
How come he got urgently transferred to the palace?
I fear that someone was creating difficulties for us.
Yuwen Yue fell into somebody else's trap.
Who could it be?
Prepare my horse. I am going to the Palace.
Yes.
Your Highness.
Prince Xiang, a verbal decree from His Majesty.
He ordered you to immediately prepare 500 men from your Knights Camp.
Tomorrow morning, you are to escort Liang Dynasty's Crown Prince, Xiao Ce, back to Jiankang.
Yes.
Looks like this Crown Prince Xiao has intentions to help Yan Xun,
that's why he deliberately asked Your Highness to escort him.
What good intentions can those Liang people have?
They would earnestly wish for Wei to be in war and get divided.
The imperial order cannot be disobeyed. Your Highness must go.
I know already.
That's why, regarding Chang'an, I can only entrust it to you.
Once there is any change in the situation, I hope that Sir can disregard old relationships for the sake of the citizens.
Your Highness, don't worry.
I will do my best.
Then let us separate here.
Your Highness, take care on your journey.
Your Highness, be careful on your way out.
Then, Sir, are we really going to listen to Prince Xiang and go against Heir Apparent Yan?
Since I have become a strategist of Prince Xiang,
then I must think for the sake of Prince Xiang.
Right now, Heir Apparent Yan Xun is unifying a part of the land.
His Majesty and Prince Xiang are suspecting each other.
With His Majesty's character, without any threat from outside,
how could he place importance on His Highness?
Then what Sir means is...?
What I mean is...
I kind of feel like this Heir Apparent Yan will give me a surprise.
I am really looking forward to what he will be like when he returns to Northern Yan.
How will that old friend of mine control the situation then?
Just fear that after painstakingly and stubbornly
planning things for so many years, in the end, he will just be digging his own grave.
How could a world savior crawl out from the netherworld?
It can only be a demon that eats people.
Your Highness is leaving?
But Princess is about to get married!
I cannot disobey the imperial order. I am leaving by tonight.
If you leave now, Princess would be very sad.
Shuye, what I am worried about is not that.
After thinking about it, there is one important matter that I must entrust you with.
You must help me.
Your Highness, what do you want me to do?
Help me keep watch of Yan Xun.
Once he makes any strange movements,
immediately lead Wei private guards
and do anything necessary to stop him from leaving Chang'an City.
If needed, you can kill him.
Your Highness, what you mean is...
You are also not stupid.
You and Yan Xun have been friends for so many years.
You clearly know what kind of person he is.
With such a huge grudge, how can he marry Chun'er without any ill feelings?
I fear that he is planning something else.
Could that be possible? Chang'an City is heavily guarded.
If he wants men, he can't have any. If he needs money, he has none.
How huge of a wave can he create?
If he really does that, won't he just be digging his own grave?
Don't forget. He is not some ordinary person.
I urge you to best be careful.
Okay.
I already understand what Your Highness means.
I will keep a watch on him.
And also,
Yuwen Yue has a good relationship with Yan Xun.
I don't fully trust him.
Sir Dongfang in my manor is an old friend of the Duke of Northern Yan.
I also fear that he will have personal intentions.
During this critical period, you are the only person that I can trust now.
If he escapes,
it will bring endless troubles to us.
Your Highness, don't worry. I already understand.
I will not let Yan Xun run away.
I hope so.
[Hearing Hall]
We have limited men.
500 men from Xiuli Army. 300 men from Miss Yu's death squad.
So, we cannot defend everything.
That's why, we can only make a bet on where we will attack.
This is the path of the wedding convoy that day.
At noontime, Yan Xun will set out from Yingge Garden and will travel through Shuncheng Road.
He will pass by Fu'an Gate, Chang'an Manor, Mulberry Leaf Pond, until you reach the Ancestral Temple.
Based on ceremonial rites, you will be praying to the ancestors here.
After the rites, you will follow the rites officers back to the palace.
Pass by Zhuque Road and mount off your horse in front of Chengguang Gate.
Wait for the rites officer to come and guide you to welcome the Princess.
Killing the princess' husband during their wedding,
even if they are able to come up with an appropriate reason, it will still be hard to convince the public.
That's why they will not make a ruckus.
They will surely choose a place where there is a very thin crowd to act.
The Ancestral Temple is located in the southern part of the city. There are royal guards guarding this place.
Miscellaneous people are not allowed to come near.
The people who will be escorting you are guards from the Ministry of Rites.
It is impossible for them to risk their lives to protect you.
That is why, based on my deductions, the place where they will most likely make their move is in the Ancestral Temple.
But the Ancestral Temple is a place where the royal family conduct ceremonial rites.
They will attack here? Will they really be that unruly?
Will the emperor even care about that?
Once something happens, he could just blame all of it on me.
The Xiuli Army will try to subdue Xue Zhileng beforehand.
On the night before the wedding day, there will be 100 soldiers deployed near the Ancestral Temple to reinforce Yan Xun.
The other 400 will try to control the eastern gates during the wedding day to help our escape out of the city.
There are too many armies camping inside Chang'an City. This plan is too risky.
The Chang'an City is now divided into four great military camps, which are the east and west military air camps,
northern and southern land camps, and the Knights Camp.
There are more than 100,000 soldiers inside the city.
In addition to the Imperial Guards, Royal Guards,
Wulin Guards, Bingsu Guards, and the army of the Chang'an Manor.
Total military force reaches around 150,000 and more.
The eastern and western military air camps and the northern and southern land camps
cannot deploy men without the tiger seal.
Don't forget. The thing that this Wei Emperor fears the most is a military coup.
Wulin Guards, Bingsu Guards, Imperial Guards, Royal Guards, and Knights Camp,
the different commanders of these armies have the power to directly pacify any uprising.
But the duty of the Imperial Guards and the Royal Guards is to guard the inner city and protect the safety of the emperor,
that's why, Wulin Guards, Bingsu Guards, and Knights Camp
are the three armies that will most likely send out their men.
Xiao Ce already lured Yuan Che away. Yuwen Yue is also not in Knights Camp.
This matter should be easier to carry out.
Now, we still have to handle two big armies. That's around ten thousand soldiers.
We just need to think of a way to paralyze the central units of Wulin Guards and Bingsu Guards.
Kill the commanding officers that will be able to lead them.
Let them have no leader so that they won't be able to send out any men.
Even if we kill the commanders of those two military camps,
I believe that the news won't stay hidden that long.
We already sent men to guard several critical areas to stop the transmission of messages between the different camps and with the local court.
And also, as long as the city falls into chaos, our set-up at Zhuque Road will immediately get activated.
By then, there would be a huge fire and citizens will riot,
they will just be dashing to do their duties to exhaustion.
Huge fire?
We have set up fire materials along the business and residential districts.
We will then light them by then to attract their attention.
Then you must be careful.
Don't affect the houses of ordinary citizens so as to not harm innocent lives.
We won't.
But against those officials, we won't be that lenient.
Next is going out of the city. There's already soldiers of Xiuli Army controlling the eastern gates.
Once there is chaos in the city, they will kill and occupy the city gates.
Once all our men arrive there, we will then exit the eastern gates and continue northwards.
The ferry crossing of the Wei River nearest to the gate has long been dilapidated.
We will try to build a wooden bridge the night before.
There will be war horses readied on the other side.
As long as our people arrive, we will follow the map given by Xiao Ce and flee Chang'an.
Counting just our men, there are already over 300. With the Xiuli Army,
that's a total of more than 800. You must not make the bridge sloppily.
- Can one night be enough? - It's enough.
These people are old soldiers that have followed Duke of Northern Yan in his north to south conquests.
They are already very trained in opening up paths on mountains and building bridges over rivers.
Although we try to plan everything, we still don't have even a thousand men to go against hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
We might be in a very dangerous situation.
If a group of people raise their armies against us, we will die without leaving a corpse.
This is a huge bet.
We are betting that after the event on the Forever Serene Platform, no one will want to deploy their own army for the Wei Emperor anymore.
[Cuiwei Palace]
General Yuwen, you will have to suffer and temporarily guard the Cuiwei Palace for now.

♫ Memories are sealed ♫
♫ The wind and snowfall are unbridled ♫
♫ Even if I am trampled, I won't look up to you ♫
♫ What doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger ♫
♫ This breathing is heat ♫
♫ This heartbeat is light ♫
♫ Bit by bit, it brews the power for all my life ♫
♫ The boiling in my eyes lights up the hope ♫
♫ No matter how many wounds I have ♫
♫ I'm willing to burn the flame in my heart to shine through everywhere ♫
♫ To melt the coldness of the secular world ♫
♫ If only the bright moon knows my thoughts ♫
♫ If there is a long path and eternal darkness, so what? ♫
♫ I want the boundless flame of the heart to be boiling again ♫
♫ To burn into a light ray of the horizon ♫
♫ I'm reborn after a fire bath ♫
♫ Fragrance fills heaven and earth ♫
♫ The red spider lily blooms again ♫
♫ To burn into a light ray of the horizon ♫
♫ The red spider lily blooms again ♫
