~ Episode 58 ~
I came this time
just to handle some private matters.
Don't worry.
I am done eating.
I'll be leaving now.

Yuwen Yue!
We will surely meet on the battlefield.
We can't avoid it.
At that time,
you don't need to have scruples about me.
- I— - Xing'er.
To be honest, if we do meet on the battlefield in the future,
will you cut my head down?
No, I won't kill you.
But I will try my best to defeat you.
Really?
But I cannot do it.
While people are living in this world,
it's like being within thorny vines.
As long as one's heart doesn't move,
then the person will not make biased movements.
Not moving, then he won't get hurt.
If one's heart moves, he will then make biased actions.
He will just end up hurting himself everywhere and
suffer the numerous pains in this world.
Will not moving really not inflict oneself any harm?
Then, I am already pieced through by thorns.
Hasn't Yuwen Yue come back?
Not yet.
No way. It's too dangerous.
We need to send people to reinforce them.
- Besides, is your news confirmed? - Yes.
My royal older brother has led an army here personally.
It is reliable.
Older Brother Seven has always been communicating with Yuwen Yue about the peace negotiations.
It's strange that he leads an army here.
Are you saying that Yuwen Yue went to Xiuli Mountains to meet Ah Chu?
Yes.
Spies from Xiuli Mountain sent the news just now. It's 100% accurate. It's him.
Reporting.
Reporting to Your Highness. Prince Seven of Wei, Yuan Che, is leading a great army toward Meilin Pass.
What on earth do they want?
Your Highness, I have something to say but I'm not sure if I should tell you or not.
Cut the crap.
Official Chu has some prejudice against me right now.
Now she also has complaints against you in her heart.
There are things you have to guard against her.
Ah Chu will not do that.
But can you guarantee that Yuwen Yue has no such an intention?
What do you want to say?
Your Highness, why don't we
take the chance to take down Yuwen Yue?
Now that he dares to come here, then shouldn't ever think to return.
Recently, he has taken down quite a few people in Meilin Pass.
Now he penetrates our Northern Yan to spy. You can see his intention without being told.
Under his management, Meilin Pass doesn't lack of solders and rations.
They have complete military needs and weapons there.
Even the prince of Wei also lead troops for his aid.
If things keep going like this, us Northern Yan will be at stake.
Your Highness, I know you were once on friendly terms with him.
But when wars waged, you cannot take care of friendship.
Your every decision and every hesitation will
cause thousands of citizens of Northern Yan to pay with their lives.
That's why, I hope that you can think for the greater good.
Send my order
to gather all the most elite troops
and go kill Yuwen Yue!
Yes.
Stop.
Royal Brother, why do you lead a great army here?
I received a secret letter from Yuwen Yue,
saying that Yan Xun doesn't want a peace negotiation
and intends for another attack against Wei.
Is it true?
He wrote the letter personally. It wouldn't be wrong.
Royal Brother, we don't know whether the things mentioned in Yuwen Yue's letter is true or false.
If you recklessly attack, not only will the people be plunged into suffering and misery,
the peace negotiations will also soon be turned to nothing.
This matter cannot drag on much longer.
I must enter the city now.
Royal Brother, you can't.
Get out of my way.
- Will you get out of the way or not? - No.
Get out of my way!
Your Highness.
Follow me to enter the city immediately.
Stop! All of you!
I am the Prince of Northern Yan conferred by His Majesty personally.
I'm also Prince Thirteen of the Great Wei.
Under whose order are you attacking my fief?
Younger Brother Thirteen, the one I'm suppressing is that rebel Yan Xun.
He set up Northern Yan as a separatist regime and
is unwilling to accept our good intentions of having peace negotiations with him.
If we don't suppress him now,
then where is the dignity of our Great Wei?
Royal Brother, Yan Xun has his excuse for revolting.
If we lower down our pride
and first return the Yan family justice before proceeding with the peace negotiations,
if by then he still doesn't agree, you sending your troops to attack him will still not be too late.
Younger Brother Thirteen, why must you keep defending that rebel?!
Are you fooled by the wind of Northern Yan
after staying for so long here?
Do you still remember that you are a descendant of Yuan?
This rebel almost broke through Chang'an City and attempted to kill thousands of innocent citizens.
Even Yuan Qi also died for the Great Wei in Hongchuan City.
Do you forgot all of these?
No, I didn't.
Then, aren't there wronged ghosts of Yan on Forever Serene Platform?
Aren't there the wronged ghosts of innocent citizens in Northern Yan?
Royal Brother cannot forget how your own blood got killed.
How are the citizens any different?
How is Yan Xun any different?
What a joke.
How can a measly rebel's life be compared to our royal family's?
The weight of a human life shouldn't be assessed based on status.
Royal Brother,
after I lost this arm,
only then did I understand how painful those people who are disabled must have felt and
how hopeless they must have felt.
Do you know how many people will lose their limbs or lives just because of one war?
Royal Brother,
I am begging you already.
Withdraw the troops.
If you insist on hindering me,
the iron cavalries behind you will trample on you.
It's fine with me.
If it can stop your determination to charge into Northern Yan,
and let the people of Hongchuan City be spared from the hardships of war,
I am willing to be trampled upon.
If Royal Father didn't kill Duke of Northern Yan in the past,
and didn't massacre the whole city,
how could there be this current situation?
It's clearly Royal Father's fault.
Why do you all turn a blind eye to it?
I will never let this mistake continue
and let the citizens of this world suffer for it.
If you insist on attacking the city,
just step across my corpse then.
Mister, there seems to be an ambush.
Aim for Yuwen Yue.

Come with me!
Have they escaped?
Right. I especially left them an opening.
That Yuwen Yue is very famliar with the terrain.
And also, there is just a few of them and they are very flexible.
Upon entering the forest, they already disappeared.
His Highness already led some men to chase after them.
You immediately return to the city now
and send some troops to Xiuli Mountain and claim that the Xiuli Army has been secretly conniving with the enemies.
Chu Qiao is being arrested to answer for her crimes.
General,
if His Highness learns about this, he will not let you off.
My life is unimportant.
If the Wei Army attacks us one day, His Highness will surely die in the hands of Yuwen Yue.
What calling for a truce and having peace negotiations, all are just dreamy talks.
A person who wants to do great things cannot dwell on romantic matters.
As long as Chu Qiao is alive, His Highness will never be able to make the decision to attack Wei.
We must make him know that the heart of Chu Qiao is not with him.
At the same time, inform Zhou An that he can proceed with the task I instructed him.
Let him go in peace. Northern Yan will never forget him.
Let me see once Yuwen Yue knows about it,
will he still be able to leave Northern Yan at ease?
Mister,
we arrested this person nearby.
He said he wants to see you for he has important matters to report to you.
General Yuwen, I am a subordinate of Officer Chu, the commander of Xiuli Army, Zhou An.
My official ordered me to come here to report to you an important matter.
Isn't the commander of Xiuli Army, He Xiao?
Commander He Xiao has died.
At the moment, I am taking over his position.
My official said that your tracks have been exposed.
Regardless of what your reason is for being here, please immediately leave.
There are people from Black Hawk Army surrounding the whole Xiuli Mountain.
You guys won't be able to breakthrough.
She left an opening for you in Mount Yao. If you believe her, then leave through that path.
The main army of His Highness will be here soon.
If you still don't leave, I fear that you won't have another chance.
What has happened to your official?
And also,
how did Commander He Xiao die?
My official only ordered me to relay the words that I have said.
As for others, forgive me for I cannot tell you about them.
After saying so much, there really wasn't any main point among them.
How can we believe you?
You better behave. Don't play tricks on us.
His Highness knows that General has entered Northern Yan.
He also knows that you and my official have met.
His Highness ordered my official to kill you but she refused.
She even sent troops to stop the men of Cheng Yuan to kill you
and engaged the Black Hawk Army.
General, just leave now!
Or else, my Xiuli Army brothers would have died in vain.
And also, Commander He Xiao would have also died in vain.
Where is your official?
When I left, she was still in a battle with the Black Hawk Army.
But right now, I don't know anymore.
I have relayed the words but I have said too much
which was against the wish of my official.
I also have no face to return to her.
General, just hurry and go already.
If the heavens will bless you two this time
and both of you are able to safely survive this danger,
I hope that either you don't see her again
or just take her away.
Don't let her be in a dilemma like this again.
Mister, we cannot trust the words of this person.
What was the information that we got yesterday?
The Black Hawk Army had divided into three groups in heading towards the central region of Northern Yan.
Their direction was to the region of Xiuli Mountains.
From Hongchuan to Xiuli Mountains, all the counties along the road
had road blocks set up on them. The militia were also called out
and had been having frequent activities.
But these cannot prove anything, either.
It can be that Yan Xun deliberately set all these up
to lure us into falling into his trap.
If this was really the working of Yan Xun,
since this person was able to find us,
then Yan Xun surely can, too.
He could just lead his army here so why bother setting a trap?
Maybe... someone wanted to borrow the hands of Yan Xun
to kill you.
Oh, right! It might be the men under Zhao Kuang of Meilin Pass.
They have always been bearing hatred against you.
They might have followed us all the way here to Northern Yan
and then told Yan Xun the situation.
It is also possible the doing of that subordinate of Yan Xun, Cheng Yuan, or some people from Chang'an City.
That's right, Mister. This matter is too suspicious.
I also feel that something fishy is going on.
What if...
it is true?
It is surely 80-90% false.
And also, there must be someone who deliberately set this up to lure us to fall into his trap.
Then what about the remaining 10-20%?
This matter started with me.
I must go check on her before I can be at ease.
Mister.
Official Chu, a letter came from Hongchuan City
accusing us of conniving with the enemies and leaking top secret information.
They want to arrest Official Chu and take you back to Hongchuan City for questioning.
Was it an order given by Yan Xun?
There was no written order, just verbal decree.
Who was the person who delivered the message?
The person claimed to be a member of the Black Hawk Army but I recognized him.
He is a subordinate of Cheng Yuan.
Tie him up.
Bring 20 of our men with you and accompany me back to Hongchuan City.
Yes.
Your Highness Prince Yu.
Your Highness, don't be too worried.
You've tried your best.
Any news from Yuwen Yue?
How about Royal Older Brother?
The information we obtained is limited, but we're sure
that Prince Xiang's troops
are encamped 50 miles from Meilin Pass.
I guess
if Mr. Yue cannot return, he will surely lead the great army to sweep Northern Yan.
I am so useless.
We really cannot have any more war.
In the north, there are currently barbarians attacking our borders.
And there is Liang who is eyeing us covetously.
The Great Wei falls apart.
The world falls into chaos again as before.
Again, the people are plunged into an abyss of misery.
It's all my guilt.
Your Highness,
please be at ease.
Mister Yue will surely be back.
He will find a way out.
He is our last hope.
Official, what's up?
I feel something is wrong.
What's wrong?
Yan Xun is crazy.
His aim is not me at all,
but Yuwen Yue.
What should we do?
Let's split up. You lead Xiuli Army towards Meilin Pass.
Let's meet there.
All right.
Everybody, follow me.
Yan Xun! Do you know exactly what on earth you're doing now?
What do you think?
Where's Yuwen Yue?
He's shot dead by me.
Why did you kill him?
A general of Wei spied into a core area of Northern Yan.
What is not proper for me to kill a general of Wei?
Ah Chu, in your heart, the whole Northern Yan and me
weigh less than a single Yuwen Yue?
You can kill him.
You can kill him on the battlefield fair and aboveboard.
How could you make use of me?
How could you make use of his affection for me?
I had agreed with him before
that we didn't need to be lenient when we met on the battlefield.
Ah Chu, I am King of Northern Yan.
I have to do it despite my own will.
Do you know that I did everything for you?
You slaughtered my comrades and soldiers.
You forced me to give up our dream.
You expelled me from the core.
You doubted me, made use of me,
didn't trust me, and even watched over me.
You did these for my own good?!
I just want to protect you.
Are these what you mean for protection?
Ah Chu,
I only want to ask you one thing.
For these years,
did you once fall in love with me?
I don't know if my feelings towards you was love or not.
I only know
that I cared for you
and was concerned about you.
I won't allow anyone to hurt you.
I take your dream as my own dream.
I take your hometown as my own hometown.
Your stance, your safety,
your gains and your losses
are the most important things for me all these years.
My biggest dream was to come back to Northern Yan with you,
watch you return home safe and sound, and
fulfill my dream.
I have lost my family and
my memory.
For these years,
you're the meaning of my existence.
But now I am in doubt.
Was everything that I've done really worth it?
Have I understood you?
Yan Xun,
upon returning Northern Yan,
you started to be suspicious.
You suspected Miss Yu, Mister Wu,
and me.
You suspect anyone who is a threat to your power.
You've become a slave of power.
You hatred and discontent
are all out of your selfish motives.
Yan Xun, I won't blame you for killing Yuwen Yue.
I only blame you for your despicable manners.
You shouldn't have trodden down my loyalty for you.
You shouldn't have trodden down our relationship.
Now,
as you wish,
I am going to look for Yuwen Yue.
I warn you for the last time.
If Yuwen Yue dies in Northern Yan,
I will never forgive you.

- Do you still not step aside? - No.
Great.
You are late.
Go to save Mister. He is at the ice lake.
You go first, Official. I'll kill the remaining.
Official, take care.
Hurry and run!
Yuwen Yue.
Xing'er.
I'm here.
You leave.
Hurry... up.
No.
I'm going nowhere.
I won't go anywhere.
Xing'er, listen.
I am sorry.
I don't want to leave you anymore.
Hold on.
You need to hold on.
Hold on.
You get up.
Get up, Yuwen Yue. Get up, Yuwen Yue.
You get up.
Get up, Yuwen Yue.
Get up.
Hurry... up...
Leave quickly.
Leave...
No.
No. No.
No.
Wake up.
Ah Chu, you said that I've changed.
Actually, I've never changed.
But you've never known
of what I really wanted.
But now, I have to
tell you everything about my faith and aspiration
in such a manner.
Your Highness, the ice surface is too weak to send more people on.
Wait for me.
No.
Yuwen Yue.

Live on.
Live on with me.
I want you to live with me
together.
Yuwen Yue.
