=Who Rules The World=

=Episode 39=

What did you bring me here for, Mr. Yu?

If I hadn't stopped you from sending troops,

what would you have done?

Of course I would pretend to help the Shangzhou and Beizhou

to resist the Jizhou and Yongzhou

and then consolidate my forces to crush the rebels.

What would be the chances of winning?

Thirty percent.

You really know what you're doing.

Now,

it's less than 10%.

Don't worry.

I have a plan.

(Chengze Gate)

(Chengze Gate)

Who are all these people?

These are my secretly trained Divine Forces.

Divine Forces?

A very dominating name.

(Chengze Gate) I didn't know

you could train an army.

Give it a try.

- Okay. - You go and try them out.

Yes.

(Chengze Gate)

That's too few.

How about having three teams attack them together?

How cocky.

Then, I'll give you

a taste of failure.

You,

(Chengze Gate)

attack them together.

Yes.

These weapons are from the Tie family.

This is the Xuanyuan family's Iron Gyro Formation.

Stop it now. Stop it.

Stop it. Stop it now.

These Divine Forces...

How many men do you have?

A hundred thousand.

A hundred thousand?

I wonder

what you think your chances are now.

Seventy percent.

But I think the chances of winning

with my plan

are a hundred percent.

I was wrong about you before.

I hope you won't take it personally.

You are dedicated to Dadong Empire.

You don't need to feel sorry.

If you and I, a general and a strategist,

work together,

we will be able to win every battle

for Dadong Empire.

Sir.

Is the plan going well?

After this battle,

the winner will be determined.

According to your plan,

the Yongzhou and Jizhou leaders

will enter the Realm of the Kings in a few days.

Given their personalities,

they would have fought to the death

before entering the Imperial City.

No matter who wins, it's going to be a tough win.

So, we just sit back and ride it out.

This is called an obvious conspiracy.

So, we just sit back and watch the fight?

In this world,

when there is an obvious conspiracy, there is a hidden conspiracy.

I have prepared a good show

for Lord of Yongzhou and Queen of Qingzhou.

Well,

what about

Huang Chao?

I know Huang Chao best.

He values trust above all else.

He would never forgive me

if he knew I have done such a thing.

So if we spare him,

there will be endless trouble.

I got it.

(Yongzhou Royal Palace) Now that the situation is better known.

Emperor Jing Yan has issued an imperial edict for the recruitment of sages.

I want to enter the Realm of the Kings.

What do you think?

According to the current situation, we'll definitely support Your Lordship.

Your Lordship,

I think Huang Chao of Jizhou has the same idea.

Emperor Jing Yan's edict

is ostensibly a recruitment drive,

but in reality, he wants us to compete with Huang Chao

so that he can fight one last time.

Your Lordship,

in my opinion, although Emperor Jing Yan doesn't attend to political affairs,

there is still a veteran general

within the Imperial Family, Dong Shufang.

This man is as capable as Lian Po.

We must not take him lightly.

Your Lordship,

however,

the Imperial Family only has a total of 100,000 soldiers.

Even if he is powerful,

he must have troops that can be deployed.

What do you think

of today's events?

The battle at the Realm of the King is inevitable.

But what I'm most worried about right now

is Yu Wuyuan who has been hiding behind all this time.

He's hiding in the dark

and we don't know what he's up to.

So it's better to be careful.

Yes.

The Finest Gentry has yet to appear.

But he has figured out

that even if I am wary of him,

the battle at the Realm of the Kings is still inevitable.

So, this time,

what are your plans?

I want

Chuanyun and Chuanyu

to lead 100,000 men of the Moyu Cavalry

through Beizhou and Jiaocheng

to the Realm of the Kings.

Huang Chao will certainly send his main force from Jizhou

to Yancheng.

After all, Jizhou is much closer to the Realm of the Kings than Yongzhou,

so he wants to save time.

Exactly.

Besides, Moyu Cavalry and the troops from Yongzhou and Beizhou

will be led by me and my Mentor

to break through the border of Yongzhou and Shangzhou

to the Realm of the Kings.

This will create a wrap-around situation for Huang Chao.

Then, my men from Qingzhou

will be left in Juancheng.

You are the one who knows me best.

Queen of Qingzhou, please lead Fengyun Cavalry to conquer Juancheng.

When I fight with Huang Chao,

you can lead your men straight to the Realm of the Kings.

No problem.

Tomorrow, I'll take Xu Yuan back to Qingzhou

to enumerate Fengyun Cavalry and head straight for Juancheng.

Okay.

I'll be waiting for you in the Imperial City.

After this battle,

peace will reign in the land.

Everyone,

will you support me in my conquest of the world?

We obey Your Lordship's command.

Jizhou is closer to the Realm of the Kings.

I will personally lead the troops into the Realm of the Kings.

I'm sure Feng Lanxi will figure out what I'm planning to do.

Therefore,

he will definitely intercept us at Dongdan.

The battle of Dongdan

is the key to the future.

Xuekong.

Yes, Your Lordship.

You lead your troops around Fucheng

to reach Dongdan first.

Yes.

Jiushuang.

(General of Jizhou, Qiu Jiushuang) Yes, Your Lordship.

Lead your troops to Jiaocheng.

To enter the Imperial City from Yongzhou,

one must pass through Jiaocheng.

You need to be there to slow them down.

Yes, Your Lordship.

Where is Huang Yu?

She hasn't come back yet?

Hasn't.

Forget it.

It's not too late to look for her

after we enter the Realm of the Kings.

We must

win this battle!

Win this battle!

The scouts report that the city ahead is empty.

There is no one at all.

The Imperial Family is depleted and its forces are inadequate.

Your Lordship and Huang Chao both advance into the Realm of the Kings.

I think Jing Yan is making a last resort

by pulling his troops back to the Imperial City.

What about the people?

The people of the city are nowhere to be seen.

What exactly is the purpose of Jing Yan?

Maybe it's not Jing Yan.

Yu Wuyuan.

What is he up to again?

Qiu Jiushuang is still quite competent.

It will take some time

to defeat her.

Why have the provisions not yet arrived?

The provisions in the city are less than five days of supplies left.

There is continuous heavy rain in Mount Pa,

and there's also a mudslide on the road.

The provision wagons probably couldn't get through that easily.

A starving soldier cannot win a battle.

If His Lordship's plans are ruined,

how will you and I be responsible?

I know.

But it will take at least eight days

for the road to be repaired.

According to the plan,

we should now be approaching the Realm of the Kings.

The next target is Huocheng.

There are already

people from Jizhou in Huocheng.

If we march like this,

we'll be no match for Skyrider Cavalry.

Is there any other way?

Why don't we ask for provisions from Queen of Qingzhou?

Anyway, before conquering the Imperial City,

Fengyun Cavalry would be resting

and would not advance easily again.

We will proceed to Huocheng as planned.

That should be quick.

This is a good plan.

Send a letter immediately to the Queen of Qingzhou to ask for help.

Qi Shu,

lead 3,000 men to escort

half of the city's provisions to Moyu Cavalry.

Yes.

Xu Yuan,

lead 5,000 men to Mount Pa to clear the road.

Yes.

Your Ladyship,

in the past few months of battle,

our army has lost nearly 1,000 men,

and more than 2,000 have been wounded,

although the casualties have been minor.

In addition to the garrison left behind

after the conquest of the cities,

there are now less than 30,000 men

in the city who can engage in battle.

The Moyu Cavalry has 200,000 soldiers.

Why can't they allocate 10,000 men

to transport provisions?

We'll have to rest here until Lord of Yongzhou

conquers the Imperial City anyway,

so don't mind that.

Moreover,

I've been married to Lord of Yongzhou.

We are one as husband and wife

and there is no more need to be calculative.

Yes.

Martial Sister,

according to the scouts,

the vanguard of Dong Shufang

is less than five days away from Juancheng.

Dong Shufang is not on guard at the Realm of the King,

and he is coming to Juancheng.

Emperor Jing Yan really does have other plans.

Your Ladyship,

should we recall Xu Yuan and Qi Shu?

It's fine.

The most important thing now is

to protect the Yongzhou Army.

As for General Dong Shufang,

I would like to see

what this famous veteran general

is really like.

If so,

the walls of Juancheng are very low and fragile, so it is weak in defense.

Besides,

half of the provisions in the city have been sent away.

In this case,

this gives us

just enough to last 20 days.

Who says we have to hang on to Juancheng?

Even though General Dong Shufang is famous,

he hadn't set foot outside the Imperial City for nearly a decade.

As juniors,

we should treat him with more courtesy

and welcome him from afar.

Lin Ji,

with the arrival of General Dong Shufang in Juancheng,

there is certain to be a battle in Juancheng.

The key to victory

lies with Moyu Cavalry.

Send a letter to Lord of Yongzhou at once.

Fight immediately

to avoid turbulence.

Yes.

(Yongzhou, Qingzhou)

(Yicheng)

General, with the speed of our march,

we can reach Juancheng in three days.

The Divine Forces

are indeed prepared for war.

There's little need

for rest on the journey.

This is a knife for killing.

It is not yet known in whose hands it will be held.

Where is General Luo at the moment?

Ten thousand soldiers in the vanguard of the Imperial Army led by General Luo

are already half a day ahead

and less than a hundred li away from Mount Luoying.

Contact with the vanguard

every two hours.

Yes.

Your Ladyship,

except for about a thousand men who had escaped,

Luo Lun and his Imperial Army

were completely wiped out.

What do we do next?

Juancheng is too small.

If 30,000 soldiers attack the city with all their might,

with our strength,

the city will be invaded in less than two days.

Moreover,

the people of Juancheng

have just recovered a little from the last destruction of the city.

It would be too much to let them

experience the destruction of the city and homes again

and to let innocent people

die in vain.

The final battle

is to be staged in Xiyuan.

I'll get ready now.

Report!

Your Lordship,

General Ren and the others are here.

Allow them to enter now.

Yes.

Greetings, Your Lordship.

You are three days ahead of schedule.

Xu Yuan, Qi Shu.

Greetings, Your Lordship.

Why are you here?

We are here on orders from our queen

to escort the provisions for General Ren.

But the war is pressing,

so I asked the two generals to join us.

Only with the help of the two generals,

can we meet up with Your Lordship ahead of schedule.

What about the situation in Juancheng?

With Queen of Qingzhou and 30,000 soldiers of Fengyun Cavalry,

it shouldn't be a problem.

All right.

With the help of General Xu and General Qi,

we will have more confidence

in our next battle with Huang Chao.

Report!

Your Lordship, someone from Juancheng is here.

Allow him to enter.

Yes.

Greetings, Your Lordship.

My Queen sent me to tell Your Lordship

that Dong Shufang has led his men to Juancheng

and is not guarding the Realm of the Kings.

There may be an ambush in the Realm of the Kings.

Your Lordship must be careful.

What is the situation in Juancheng?

By the time I set out to get here,

Her Ladyship had already gone out

to wipe out 10,000 soldiers of Luo Lun's Imperial Army vanguard.

I don't think Dong Shufang is a match for Her Ladyship.

That's good then.

We need to speed up

to ease the crisis in Juancheng.

We will march into Dongdan tomorrow.

Yes.

General Luo Lun.

Pass on my order.

Set off for Xiyuan.

Yes.

We've all been waiting

for this battle for a long time, haven't we?

This battle

has finally taken place.

Ren Rusong.

Here I am.

Xu Yuan.

Here I am.

Qi Shu.

Here I am.

Cheng Zhi.

Here I am.

Heads of the four directions.

Here we are.

Chuanyun, Chuanyu.

Here we are.

Three tails at the back.

Here we are.

♪The tempestuous northern wind, the tempestuous martial arts world♪

♪Blades and bows drawn♪

Xuekong.

Here I am.

Jiushuang.

Here I am.

Set up the formation.

- Yes. - Yes.

No major issues in the northeast for now.

Western Army advances in showers.

♪Let's see who can rule the world♪

The right wing extends weapons.

Eastern Army flounders. Western Army worms.

The center troop heads to the peak.

The left wing in defense. The right wing to attack.

If this were a game of chess,

would it be a dead game or a draw?

Looks like we won't be able to determine a winner today.

We will find a solution tomorrow.

Let's fight again tomorrow.

Retreat.

Retreat.

Retreat!

Thirty thousand soldiers of Fengyun Cavalry.

Twenty thousand men of the enemy.

We used most of our men

and only managed to wipe out half their numbers.

Is it because we underestimated them?

How much manpower have we left?

After counting the number of wounded,

there are only

about 5,000 men left.

There's a great disparity in strength.

A tough fight would only increase casualties.

I think

their weapons and equipment are unusual.

Moreover, they are skilled in their formations.

More to the point,

they recovered quickly from their injuries.

It was as if they had taken my family's secret medicine.

How did these people get their hands

on this secret recipe of the Han family?

Maybe it's because of Yu Wuyuan.

Yu Wuyuan?

All of their equipment was well prepared for war.

Iron armors of the Xuanyuan family,

horses of the Ma family,

the armory of the Tie family,

and medicine of the Han family.

These were obtained by Yu Wuyuan through the Soultaker Sect.

You mean

the one who attacked my family

was Yu Wuyuan?

He has lost his humanity and caused chaos in the world.

I must take my revenge.

Vengeance must be avenged.

But the most urgent thing at the moment is

how to win this battle.

It's strange.

They could have come up the mountain and fought us to the death.

But they're just surrounding us now

to keep us from breaking out.

Maybe

they want to hold us back

to reduce casualties.

According to the time now,

Lin Ji should be arriving at Dongdan soon.

Lanxi should soon receive

intel about the enemy.

May there be peace

and no more war

after this battle.

Martial Sister, what do you want to do

when the time comes?

Just like the old days,

find a farm and be a peasant woman.

Martial Sister, you can never be a peasant woman.

I'm not that spoiled.

That's not what I mean.

I mean, you're lazy.

My brother-in-law doesn't look like he knows how to farm either.

What nonsense are you talking about?

What about you?

What do you want to do after this battle?

I...

I want to go back to my hometown

and open a medical center.

Although there is no war,

there must still be sick people.

So,

I can save people.

Why?

You don't want to be a warrior anymore?

No.

Being a good doctor

is also being a warrior.

Anyone who can save a life

is a warrior.

You have grown up a lot.

It is reasonable to assume

that Dong Shufang's troops

are no match for Fengyun Cavalry.

Fengxi should have entered the Imperial City by now.

But there is no news at all.

Your Lordship.

Lin Ji, come.

What happened?

We encountered a very strong enemy on Mount Luoying

and almost lost half of the 30,000 men of Fengyun Cavalry.

Her Ladyship protected us from the siege with all her might.

Please save my Queen quickly!

What strong enemy?

How is Fengxi?

We met Dong Shufang's troops

at Mount Luoying.

They are not the Imperial Army

but a group of powerful and vicious soldiers

who are harmful to the people.

Her Ladyship asked me to pass on a message

about the plans of Dadong Empire.

Her Ladyship is now fighting for her life with her soldiers,

defending at Mount Luoying where the situation is unknown.

Please send help at once!

Queen of Qingzhou is in danger

as the enemy rages on.

I am only competing with Huang Chao for power.

Protecting people is more important.

Chuanyu, Xu Yuan.

Yes, Your Lordship.

I want 100,000 soldiers to follow me to Mount Luoying.

Yes.

Come.

Zhong Li, go to Jizhou Encampment on behalf of His Lordship

to deal with Huang Chao.

I will immediately gather the troops

and get out of the way to Dongdan

to show our sincerity.

Yes.

Your Lordship,

the envoy of Yongzhou requests an audience with you.

What is the intention of Yongzhou

to send an envoy at this time?

Let him in.

Yes.

Inviting the envoy of Yongzhou to an audience.

Greetings, Lord of Jizhou.

Why did Lord of Yongzhou suddenly send you here?

My lord asked me to pass on a message to Your Lordship.

Now that the army of Dadong Empire is rampant,

my lord wants to retreat for the time being

and eliminate the enemy first.

It is now a critical moment in the battle between us.

Lord of Yongzhou retreats at this time,

why should I listen to his orders?

How can I know

that this is not a trick of Lord of Yongzhou?

My lord said

that both of you are only competing with each other for power.

My lord believes that Lord of Jizhou thinks the same as he does.

When we fight with the enemy,

it will only cost the lives of people.

We hope Your Lordship will be able to make the right decision.

Why should I trust you?

My lord

knows that you won't believe us.

That's why we've gotten out of the way

to Dongdan

so that Your Lordship can head to the Imperial City first.

My lord also said

that Dadong Empire may have other plans.

So, Yongzhou Army

will travel with Your Lordship

at a distance of 30 li.

If there is anything you need,

we are here to help.

Your Lordship,

please

prioritize the people first.

Your Lordship, Yongzhou Army has retreated.

Your Lordship,

my lord has kept his promise.

You go back first.

Yes.

Xuekong.

What do you think?

Your Lordship,

now that Yongzhou has retreated

to get out of the way to the Imperial City,

perhaps this is true.

I am more worried

that the person behind this army

is not simple to deal with.

Fine.

This is indeed a good opportunity.

Let's give it a try.

Assemble the troops

for the Imperial City immediately!

Yes.

(Capital of Jizhou, Wuhui Valley, Capital of Yongzhou)

Sir,

Feng Lanxi has led his troops to Mount Luoying.

But before he left,

he got out of the way to Dongdan.

The 300,000 soldiers of Jizhou Alliance

are now heading for the Imperial City.

They are expected to arrive at the Imperial City

in less than ten days.

The Yongzhou Alliance seems to be following behind.

There are now less than 10,000 soldiers in the city.

How should we defend it?

I still have 100,000 people in the city.

This is my way of restraining Huang Chao.

Grown men continue to train as divine soldiers.

And I have other uses

for the old and infirm.

The game is coming to a close.

If I succeed in killing Feng Lanxi and Feng Xiyun,

the world

will be mine.

You're here, Wuyuan.

Come and take a look at this painting of mine.

Your Majesty can't imitate

the state of mind of Mr. Xieyue.

Wuyuan,

Dong Shufang said you are unpredictable

and told me to watch out for you.

But I think you're good.

I don't like politics,

and you can help me.

I like to paint,

and you can appreciate it with me.

Anyway, Wuyuan,

what do you want?

I fear that if you want nothing,

I will not be able to keep you.

You've given me everything I've ever wanted.

I, from the Empyrean Yu family,

want to see the world.

What is there to see in this world?

It's complicated with loads of scrappy affairs.

Uninteresting at all.

Your Majesty finds it uninteresting because you are not interested in it.

But I find it interesting.

Moreover, I almost own it.

Own it?

What do you mean?

You asked me to write an edict

saying that Huang Chao and Feng Lanxi would be at war with each other,

and we would hide in the back to clean up the mess.

In the end,

the world will still be mine.

You don't own this world.

It belongs to me.

When Queen of Qingzhou dies on Mount Luoying,

Lord of Yongzhou dies in Liefeng Valley,

and Lord of Jizhou dies in the Imperial City,

I will have won a great victory

and ascended to the throne.

I don't quite understand.

Haven't you been helping me?

The duty of the Empyrean Yu family

is to assist the Imperial Family of Dadong Empire.

The duty of the Empyrean Yu family

is to assist those who can pacify the world.

And I, Yu Wuyuan,

can make all the people in the world submit to me right now.

Why should I give up my throne to someone else?

Aren't you worried about the Empyrean Token?

I already have the Empyrean Token.

Besides,

I have lifted the Blood Curse.

You killed my father.

If I hadn't killed him,

would it be your turn to be crowned?

So you are the 100-year lineage.

Martial Sister,

we have run out of food for our troops.

By all rights,

reinforcements should have arrived by now.

Be patient.

Tell the soldiers

to hold out one more day.

I'll share mine with everyone.

But, Martial Sister...

It's okay to eat one less meal.

Go.

Martial Sister,

this is what I have prepared from the prescription.

This is the prescription.

This is the medicine.

Just apply it to your weapon

and hit your enemy,

so that they will be left limp

and crushed.

Pu,

this is a great relief.

But the quantity is still too little,

and the medicine only works for ten hours.

It won't solve the war at all.

With this, there is hope.

We will get rid of all the enemy forces.

All right.

I remember there were 20 bonfires by the side barracks.

Why are half of them missing today?

Half of them are missing?

Could it be that Dong Shufang set up the fog on purpose

to make us think that there are fewer soldiers

to tempt us to break out?

Hiding half of the army?

He can't do it.

What is the reason then?

I got it.

We are actually the bait.

Their purpose is to lure Lord of Yongzhou out.

Dong Shufang knew that reinforcements would come

so he sent his men to intercept the reinforcements at night.

To lure Lord of Yongzhou out?

Yu Wuyuan knows Lanxi and me well.

He knows Lanxi will definitely come to my rescue

if I am in danger.

So, he wants to take this opportunity

to wipe them all out.

Lord of Yongzhou may be in danger.

Han Pu,

immediately order the army to assemble

and break free in the night.

Yes.

Kill the enemy with me.

Kill!

Kill!

Your Lordship,

why did you suddenly halt the army?

There is an ambush.

There must be some sort of trick to this silence.

Settle this as soon as possible!

Yes.

Kill!

Shoot the arrows.

Yes.

Pu.

Step aside.

I didn't ask you to use your bodies to block arrows!

Martial Sister,

it looks like Dong Shufang

is going to trap us here completely.

Follow me down the mountain!

Fengyun Cavalry know

that they have lost this battle

and yet they are still protecting their queen with their lives.

They are truly loyal.

This is worthy of respect.

Kill!

Kill!

Martial Sister!
