(Yueluo)

Later, take the family members away.

Don't provoke them any more.

But those bodies

Lu Yu won't do anything to them

for the time being.

I will take care of them tonight.

This is bad!

This is bad!

Elder Ji climbed over the city wall.

Get the things we prepared out.

My son

My son

Go.

Let go of me.

Quiet.

Trust me.

I have a plan.

Let me go down.

Let me go down!

General Lu!

Something has happened!

What's it?

The Yueluo people

are transporting the bodies.

What?

They are right below!

sh**t them!

Arrows!

Come with me.

Release!

Release!

Release the arrows!

k*ll them!

Wait, General Lu.

Pei Yan,

it was you who suggested

using those spies as bait before.

Now, you want me to stop.

What exactly do you want?

Given the current situation,

the Yueluo people have united.

It won't do us any good

if we attack them.

Now that you have ex*cuted those spies,

they won't open the city gate

even if the bodies are destroyed.

Even after Yueluo is claimed,

those people won't submit to us.

Submit to us?

Why would I even need that?

If you can't stabilize

the vassal land, it might

become a threat in the future.

Yueluo can't hold on for long.

We can come up with another plan

to claim the city.

Those bodies

are useless now.

Send them back

to their families properly.

It was you

who saved them in Qingkang.

They intended to protect Yueluo.

I was just

giving them an opportunity.

What opportunity?

If the Liang's policy doesn't change,

more Yueluo people

will be sent to Liang State

to be tormented.

Reopening the case

is the only way.

If that really happens,

your identity will be exposed.

I will make sure

everything is arranged properly.

If only the truth

would come to light one day.

I'm saying that you might be in danger.

You held me down with your sword

at the city gate earlier today

because you wanted

to take the blame for me.

I'm afraid everyone in the tribe

will hate you.

Even so,

at least they can still

carry on with their lives.

Carry on?

I really can't understand

what you're thinking.

You should consider

how to get back

the jade hairpin from me.

Physician Jiang,

these are today's supplies.

It's snowing heavily outside.

I hope the snow

can stop as soon as possible.

Could you please inform Yu Lian

to send more crow-dipper,

villous amomum fruit,

blankets, and hand warmers

when she comes next time?

Sure.

Wait.

Is everything all right

at the city gate?

Physician Jiang,

stay in the treatment area

these days.

Don't go anywhere.

Xiao Wuxia refused to save those

outside the gate,

and all the Yueluo people

might give you a hard time here.

He isn't that kind of person.

He won't be that cruel.

But

Why is there smoke

hanging above Mingyue Valley?

Jiang Ci said

all infected items must be burned.

Young Master,

have our people

sent the message out?

Half a month ago,

we have already notified

that shaman.

This concerns Jiang Ci,

so she will definitely inform the Yans.

We must end the w*r

before the Yans arrive.

Young Master,

at this point,

not to mention

defeating the Zhenyuan army,

Yueluo City

might also be compromised.

We mustn't lose it.

Someone is more eager to end this w*r

quickly than we do.

Young Master,

are you referring

to that person in the palace?

Still, we can't place all our hopes on him.

We need to find another solution

to subdue the enemy.

Your Majesty,

General Lu sent a missive

from Liangzhou today.

He mentioned that Yueluo

is staging a rebellion.

As the w*r is imminent,

he can't return to the capital yet.

This is just an excuse to buy time.

If he could claim Yueluo

in the meantime,

I wouldn't dare

to take action against him.

Read this.

Sanlang said

Lu Yu took the liberty to attack

(Urgent military news from Wei Zhao)

Yueluo,

intending to occupy the land.

They slaughtered the people rampantly.

This is outrageous.

Lu Yu intends to rebel.

Please calm down, Your Majesty.

Please calm down.

Send a decree to Pei Yan

and tell him to assist Sanlang.

They must bring Lu Yu back to Qingkang

using whatever methods they see fit.

My Zhenyuan Army

mustn't be misused by him.

Yes, Your Majesty.

(Lord of Jianding's Residence)

Lu Yu is driving Yueluo to a corner.

I wonder what His Lordship's plan is.

Yan actually came up

with a rather indirect method.

He wanted to bring Lu Yu down completely

using the w*r with Yueluo.

However, even if

the Zhenyuan Army is defeated,

the military reform still won't happen.

He should've chosen

the right battleground,

not Yueluo.

Madam, do you wish Lu Yu to rebel?

I see an opening if he rebels.

Lu Yu is too easily attached

to his sentiments.

We have to help him

let go of his attachment,

that's his son.

Yes, Madam.

However, before the reinforcement arrives,

His Lordship might be in trouble

He's my son.

If he can't even protect himself,

he deserves the suffering.

Did you come here

with any brilliant ideas?

I'm willing to enter the city alone

to persuade Yueluo to surrender.

What a joke.

You want me to negotiate for peace

after what we've done?

Dysentery is rampaging in Yueluo

at the moment.

Many of the Zhenyuan soldiers

are infected as well.

If we launch an attack now,

the sick Zhenyuan Army

won't perform well,

and it will lead

to a heavy loss for you.

If your goal is to claim Yueluo,

you need to employ

both tough and soft approaches.

How about we set a five-day limit?

I will enter Yueluo alone

to persuade them to surrender

and pledge loyalty to you.

All right.

We will do as you suggest.

I will give you five days.

After that,

no one can stop me

from attacking the city.

Young Master, Pei Yan is here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Physician Ling's prescription is

effective in combating the sickness.

However, the condition of some patients

is slightly different,

so the dosage should

be reduced accordingly.

The dosage of patchouli remains.

Crow-dipper

reduced by three maces.

(3 maces and 5 taels, 4 taels of kudzu,

Chinese skullcap, peony, licorice)

Ci!

I beg of you.

Please let me out.

I need to see Physician Ling.

Please.

Ma'am, you haven't recovered yet.

You can't leave.

Please let me find Physician Ling.

I can't let you go.

Mother!

Are you all right?

Ma'am.

- Ma'am.

- Move.

Mother.

Mother.

Are you all right?

Yu Lian?

It's me, Mother.

I'm back.

Yu Lian?

Are you all right?

Is it you, Yu Lian?

Yes, it's me.

Physician Jiang also

Mother.

Mother.

Mother, wake up.

Mother.

Mother.

Should I call you Wei Zhao

or Xiao Wuxia?

It depends on whom you seek help from.

It's not necessarily my place

to seek your help, though.

Wei Zhao has

the Pei Clan's account book,

while Xiao Wuxia defends Yueluo City.

Either way,

you have favors to ask of me.

Shaojun, do you intend to trade a truce

from Lu Yu for the account book?

The w*r has to be quelled eventually,

and we need to bring Lu Yu back, don't we?

His Majesty instructed me to assist you

in bringing Lu Yu back.

I assume your burden

isn't any lighter than mine.

After all, Xiao Wuxia

defends Yueluo City.

He can't create another clone

for Commander Wei

to persuade Lu Yu.

Shaojun, stop beating around the bush.

I would like to propose a deal

with you, Sanlang.

I know you have a solution

to break through the siege.

However,

you need time.

Lu Yu is impatient.

He's already on the verge of wrath

because of the diamond.

Once he flares up,

he will launch a fierce attack,

even if it takes a heavy toll

on his troops.

When that happens,

the city will be compromised.

Defense isn't the best option.

I believe you will plan

for a retaliation,

and that requires time.

So does controlling the epidemic.

I can help you to buy a few days.

In return,

you only need to hand over

the Pei Clan's account book.

After that,

I assure you that your identity

will remain a secret from me.

How can I trust you?

You have no choice

but to trust me, Sanlang.

Likewise, I can only choose to trust you.

I will collaborate with you.

But you have to agree

to one condition.

Yueluo will assist you

to subdue the rebels,

and the credit must go to Yueluo.

I see that all the Yueluo people

peg you as their enemy.

Do you really have to consider them?

There's no need for you

to intervene with Yueluo's matter.

Jiang Ci caught dysentery

in the treatment area.

Young Master, please help her.

Where's Jiang Ci?

She was exhausted

from working day in and day out

and fainted.

Where are you going, Your Lordship?

To find Jiang Ci.

Please reconsider, Your Lordship.

The treatment area is dangerous.

You can't go there.

I can't stand by and watch her die.

If anything bad happens to you,

what about the Changfeng Guards?

Please consider the bigger picture,

Your Lordship.

Your Lordship,

General Lu only gave us an hour.

If we return late,

he'll definitely find a reason

to start a w*r.

A w*r is impending now.

Please don't make things complicated.

Go to the physician

of the Zhenyuan Army,

ask for the best herbs,

and pass them on to Wei Zhao.

Ci must be saved.

Yes, Your Lordship.

Mr. Ping,

take a troop

and secretly leave the city tonight.

That's impossible, Young Master.

The w*r will erupt at any time here.

How can I leave you here

to face it alone?

Pei Yan and I have

formed an alliance.

He'll help me stall the army

for five days.

After five days,

Lu Yu will attack us.

We have to make preparations beforehand.

All right.

I'll get it done.

Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci, sit up.

Take the medicine.

Here.

(Jiang Ci,)

(I have tried to k*ll you

so many times,)

(but you always survived.)

You've recovered.

Thank you, sir.

Let's go home.

Finally, we're going home.

Brother.

Thank you so much, sir.

We're going home.

Slow down.

Finally, we're going home.

Finally, we've recovered.

Brother is out.

Mother.

Let's go home.

Jiang Ci, you are awake?

Well,

how do you feel now?

Don't get closer to me.

Don't worry.

Physician Ling modified the prescription

based on yours, and the condition

has been significantly relieved.

Jiang Ci, thank you.

Thank you for saving our lives,

Physician Jiang.

- Thank you, Physician Jiang.

- Thank you, Physician Jiang.

You braved the harsh epidemic

and were determined to save

the people of Yueluo equally.

Please accept my bow.

- Please accept our vows.

- Please accept our vows.

Please get up.

This is my duty.

Did you come

to the treatment area for me?

No.

Let me help you up.

I'm good.

Why don't you wait for me outside?

I will go and check if any

important prescriptions are left.

All right.

I'll wait for you at the entrance.

It's hard to distinguish

what the Shameless Cat truly means.

I'm asking,

when will we fly a kite?

You fell sick and lost the kite.

There's no kite for you to fly.

Cats in the mountains

always step on the footprints

of their companions'

to keep warm.

Come.

Hop on.

You're smart.

Two cats leaning together

can keep each other warm.

What are you smiling at me?

Your mother made chicken soup

and let me send it to you.

Drink it while it's hot.

When have you become

so close to my mother?

She's your mother.

Of course, I'm kind to her.

You and your mother

have finally reunited.

I'm truly happy for you.

Drink it before it gets cold.

Give it to me.

This is my favorite.

Nice.

It's still hot.

What about that?

Did my mother make that, too?

Well, this

I made this.

Milk tea.

Your mother said you liked drinking this

when you were a kid.

Let me try that.

Nice.

Give that to me.

I'll hold it.

I haven't finished it yet.

You take these.

- Let's go.

- All right.

Let's go.

Hurry.

Stay close.

Let's go.

It's said that Lu Yu

has already secretly sent

his men to fetch his son.

It seems

he wants to end this quickly

with Yueluo.

The people will probably

have to suffer.

Some captives were sacrificed

due to the tense situation last time.

Whether or not the people

will be saved this time

is up to Sanlang.

What are you staring at?

Yu Lian.

Yu Lian?

Where's she?

In my heart.

You asked.

The person in your heart

is someone who occupies your heart

and thoughts all the time.

Jiang Ci?

The person in my heart?

Judging by the time,

Mr. Ping should be arriving

in Liangzhou in no time.

Didn't you make a deal with Pei Yan?

He only buys time for us.

Yueluo can't be trapped forever.

It seems

I'm far from being

a qualified city lord.

Mr. Hong also started by laying a brick

and building a bridge.

You will become someone like him

in the future.

Have you ever thought

about staying here

after the w*r?

Hong, something bad has happened!

Let's go.

You can't leave me alone.

What's going on here?

Lu Yu threatened us with the spies'

lives to open the city gate,

but Mr. Xiao refused.

Hence, many lives were k*lled.

Father.

Elder Ji's son is also among them.

Give me back my brother!

All right.

Calm down.

There, there.

Folks,

being helpless against

the slaughtering of our kin

is my fault.

I'm willing to bear

all responsibilities and punishments.

This is a decision made by everyone.

We had to do this

to protect our city.

Nonsense!

It's not your family who died.

You certainly can downplay it.

Many lives were sacrificed,

but did we win the w*r?

It was his idea.

He endangered our families.

You are a m*rder*r!

Yes,

it was my idea

not to open the city gate.

Once the gate is opened,

more people will die.

I thought my daughter

had been dead for ten years,

but I instantly recognized her

from the city wall.

My poor girl.

She died right before my eyes

even before

she could call me father again.

My daughter

died before I did.

Father.

Father.

Mother, I want Father back.

You are to blame!

Give me back my child!

What did you see?

Our home.

Do you know what I saw?

Our home,

Mr. Ji's home,

Mrs. Ping's home,

and the homes

of all Yueluo people.

I'm not a hero.

I don't want to be a hero, either.

I only want to keep the land

and homes safe.

- Why do we have to have w*r?

- Beat you to death.

It's useless

even if he's beaten to death.

My child won't be able to return, anyway.

I will die sooner or later.

I might as well go

join my sister earlier.

That day,

I used a sword to threaten

the young city lord,

forcing him and the elders

not to open the gates.

I failed to save our kin.

I, Xiao Wuxia,

will kneel and apologize.

I vow that from today on,

I will fight for Yueluo

until the very last moment,

keep Yueluo away from w*r,

and restore peace.

What are you doing here?

The Shameless Cat

is crouching in the snow,

and I'm worried he will freeze.

I'm not cold.

I'm cold.

It's not good for you

if they see you.

I'm not afraid.

I'm Mrs. Xiao, anyway.

Are you planning to abandon me?

That was an expedient plan.

Why do you take that seriously?

Who tells you an expedient plan

can't turn into a long-term one?

Shameless Cat,

come what may,

I will always stay with you.

I'm willing

What were you saying just now?

I will tell you

when the w*r is over.
