=Episode 11=

Cui Li, why are you blocking me?

Collaborating with the enemy,

collaborating with the Zhenxi Army.

Why?

Are you not going to confess?

Do you have any evidence?

This is a secret letter from Li Ni

of the Zhenxi Army wrote to you.

You gave the Zhenxi Army

every detail of the situation
of the besieged Yingzhou.

The letter is crystal clear.

How did you get your hands
on this letter?

Why?

You're finally admitting it now.

It's rock-solid evidence.

If it weren't for you,

we didn't have to

hand over Luoyang City
to the Zhenxi Army.

Arrest her!

Stop it!

Shiqi, you're finally back.

Did anything happen?

We received an urgent military report.

Li Jun and Li Lai and their troops

are closing into Luoshui.

It looks like

Sun Jing has long withdrawn his men

from besieging my brothers.

Those two brothers of mine

sure don't disappoint me.

What are you doing?

Lin, you're here just in time.

I've long suspected

that Lieutenant He has been contacting Li Ni
from the Zhenxi Army in secret.

It was she

who leaked many of our military secrets.

This is the evidence.

It was Lieutenant He

who leaked the news
about Yingzhou being besieged.

It was the reason

we had to surrender Luoyang City.

If Lieutenant He doesn't die,

how can we face the soldiers

who have fought valiantly
on the battlefield?

Lin,

I know you have a soft heart.

So,

let me handle this for you.

So, you don't have to worry.

Guards!

Stop it!

Cui Li,

Taozi wrote this letter.

Young Master is aware
of this matter as well.

Recently, Lieutenant He noticed
unusual activity

within the army.

After she reported this to me,

she deliberately wrote this letter as bait

to see

who would fall for it.

You set me up.

The letter is in my camp.

If you didn't send someone to steal it

because of your malicious intent,

how would it have ended up
in your hands?

Lin, I...

I did this

because she's behaving
very suspiciously.

I only wanted to assist you.

You have to believe me.

I was only trying to...

Father trained

the Cui Army.

Our soldiers are united

and follow a strict military code.

We've never had any internal conflicts

or power struggles.

Cui Li, since you arrived,

you've repeatedly tried
to frame your comrades!

Do you think

I didn't notice

your little schemes and ideas?

When one frames his comrade,

what is the punishment
according to the Cui Army's regulations?

Those who frame comrades
will be stripped of their military power

and receive thirty strokes.

Cui Li, your five thousand soldiers

will be temporarily commanded by Shu.

Since this is your first offense,

we'll skip the rod punishment.

Lin...

Go!

This time, we managed to take the opportunity
to reclaim Cui Li's military power.

I believe

he can't stir up any trouble now.

Young Master,

are you all right?

Did you catch a cold
from staying outside too long?

I'll have Taozi come

and check your pulse.

Ying,

where did you go

when you left the camp today?

I went to see Li Ni.

Li Ni is the commander
of the Zhenxi Army!

You shouldn't have gone
and met him privately multiple times!

I know

you don't want to hear me
say this right now.

But

as you saw today,

we set up a trap,

waiting to lure the snake
out of its hole.

You went out on your own

and gave Cui Li a chance
to intercept you.

What if he had really attacked you?

Don't worry, Young Master.

A mere Cui Li

can't do anything to me.

Ying,

I know you're confident and prepared.

But things are unpredictable in a fight.

If you had gotten hurt for real,

how could I feel at ease?

Young Master, here.

Have some tea.

Drink it.

Are you feeling better?

Ying,

do you know something?

You mean more to me

than anything else.

Even...

Even more than myself.

We grew up together.

I've always regarded you
as an older brother.

So, you're also important

to me.

Yes,

we share a sibling-like bond.

Saying these

unexpectedly...

Unexpectedly makes us feel distant.

The physician has instructed

that you need a quiet rest.

So, I won't bother you anymore.

Get some rest.

All right.

At the latest, tomorrow,

Li Jun and Li Lai will lead their troops
to arrive in Luoyang.

Those two

have always been jealous

of your military achievements.

They must have come

with ill intentions this time.

Shiqi, make up a plan.

Since my brothers have come,

we should leave

and give up Luoyang City

to them.

Give up Luoyang City to them?

We fought hard

to take Luoyang.

And we even gave up three cities

in exchange for the withdrawal
of the Cui Army from Luoyang.

Now, do we just hand it over to them?

It's the same
if my brothers are stationed

in Luoyang City.

Quick and decisive action
is essential.

We'll head to Tong Pass.

How can it be the same?

(Tong Pass)

I get it now.

Tong Pass is strategically located
with the Wei River to the north,

Mount Qinling to the south,

Central Plains to the east,
and Guanzhong plain to the west.

Plus, it controls the post road
between Xichang and Luoyang.

It's highly contested military ground.

Sun Jing won't expect us

to abandon Luoyang.

This will catch him off guard.

Once we occupy Tong Pass,

it's like holding Xichang at its throat.

Then, we'll be close

to capturing Xichang.

That would be the best.

As long as we hold Tong Pass,

those brothers of yours
won't have anywhere to advance

or to retreat even if they want
to take any action.

Shiqi,

I thought

you would go soft

on those two.

It's good

to see you're not.

I'm just looking out
for my two older brothers.

They tend to be overly ambitious

and easily get carried away.

It's better to let them stay in Luoyang City.

Lest they fall into any traps,

and I have to go through great trouble
to rescue them.

Young Master.

Young Master, you're awake.

Where's Lieutenant He?

She stayed in her tent all night

and didn't go out.

Young Master,

the physician has checked on you.

He said you fainted twice.

You must worry less,

and focus on your recovery.

I know you're worried about Lieutenant He.

But sooner or later,

she'll know you're the nicest person
to her in the world, Young Master.

She's so intelligent.

Of course, she could feel

how well I treated her.

Then, you should feel at ease even more.

Lieutenant He isn't an ungrateful person.

Yesterday, you went to her rescue
despite being ill.

Seeing that,

she'll definitely feel moved.

But what I want from her

is never her gratitude

or repayment.

Master, stop drinking.

You haven't slept all night.

It's harmful to your health.

Cui Lin, you cunning fox.

You teamed up with Lieutenant He to trick me

and forced me
to hand over my military authority!

It seems

they're already suspicious of me now.

It won't be easy to act

in the future.

Master, we just received
a secret report.

The Zhenxi Army sent a letter
to Lieutenant He again.

Does Cui Lin know about this?

The secret letter was delivered directly
to Lieutenant He's tent.

The main camp is unaware of it.

So,

should we send someone to investigate?

After what happened yesterday,

Lieutenant He may lower their guard.

We may never know

if we find something.

As long as Cui Lin is here,

it won't be easy

to take action against Lieutenant He.

But if we can discover

any information,

it would be to our advantage.

So

order someone to investigate

the content of the secret letter.

Don't leave any trace.

(During my spare time,)

(I often admire personal artwork.)

(I'm currently creating
artwork diligently.)

(Is it possible for me to ask
for a beautiful portrait of you,)

(so I won't feel lonely?)

Lieutenant He,

aren't you going to reply to the letter?

Why are you rushing?

No, I'm not rushing.

The letter isn't for me.

Since you're not in a rush,

so I'll handle
some official documents first.

You can go back and get some rest.

You don't have to keep me company.

I'm not in a hurry.

But Xie Chang'er
who delivered the letter

is in a rush.

It's such a hot day.

He probably has gone back already.

You don't know

how stubborn that person is.

If you don't notify him
that you're not replying to the letter,

he'll definitely still
be waiting outside.

Lieutenant He,

I'll go and inform him, then.

I'm going now.

I'm going for real.

I...

Wait.

Since you're in a rush,

I'll just write one
to reply to his letter.

Lest our little Miss Taozi

made a trip for nothing.

All right.

I'll wait for you.

Lieutenant He, the scout reported

that the Zhenxi Army had withdrawn
from Luoyang.

Lord Liang's eldest son,
Lord Linzi, Li Jun,

has led his troop into the city.

By tonight,

Lord Liang's second son,
Lord Kuaiji, Li Lai,

will also arrive with his troops.

All right.

I didn't expect

Imperial Grandson
to be so accommodating

to his two older brothers.

He agrees to whatever they want.

But Lieutenant He,

where will he go

after leaving Luoyang?

Did he mention it in his letter?

Of course, he won't mention it
in the letter.

If he didn't mention it in the letter,

what do you all write about then?

Only some trivial matters.

(Please draw it yourself.)

Hello, Miss Taozi.

A letter our Lieutenant to His Highness.

Thank you, Miss Taozi.

I'll get going, then.

Are you leaving just like that?

Is there anything else?

What's this?

This is a special healing ointment
I personally formulated.

You can't buy it outside.

I thought,

with all your military activities,

there might be

some bumps and bruises.

If you use this,

you'll recover quickly.

Thank you, Miss Taozi.

You're a nice person.

Stop talking nonsense.

I'll get going then.

Thank you!

What a fool.

(Last night,
I stayed in the countryside.)

(The moon was as clean
as if it was washed.)

(I felt like I could pluck the stars
from the sky.)

(A few days ago,
I visited Zhuque Lane in Dongdu)

(and bought some dried fruits.)

(They tasted delicious.)

(They broke like fine jade
as I chewed them)

(and enjoyed chewing them
through the long night.)

(I hope to share
this experience with you.)

♪A fated relationship♪

♪Yet, playing roles that shouldn't be♪

(I found combining dried nuts
with preserved fruits)

(enhances the flavor.)

(People in the past
enjoyed them separately.)

(But trying them together now,)

(the taste is intriguing.)

♪Cut off resentment and hatred♪

♪This colorful array across the sky♪

♪Belongs only to you and me♪

♪You're the dawn of anticipation,
hearts aglow♪

♪You're the final answer,
no regrets, no woes♪

♪My unspoken words
are depicted in scrolls♪

♪One after another♪

(The horse leaped over the stream
this morning.)

(Upon smelling the fragrance)

(and coming across
a wild cinnamon tree.)

(With its hidden aroma drifting
in the air,)

(I enjoyed this sight myself
with deep regret.)

(Then, I picked several flower buds)

(to create a fragrant sachet,)

(hoping we could enjoy it together
another day.)

♪I'm willing to abandon
this world for you♪

♪No regrets in this lifetime♪

Lieutenant He!

Lieutenant He, I've been looking for you.

So here you are.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I just want to ask

if you're replying to his letter today.

Are you worried that Xie Chang'er

is in a rush again?

No.

I made an appointment with him

that Luoyang would be our meeting point

to exchange letters.

Luoyang as the meeting point?

Was it your idea

or Xie Chang'er's idea?

Xie Chang'er said,

it was Mister Shiqi who suggested

meeting in Luoyang

to make it easier to find each other

while marching.

Xie Chang'er is the one

who delivers messages
between the two armies.

By keeping track of when he arrives

and calculating

the speed of the horses,

it's quite easy to figure out

where the Zhenxi Army
is currently heading.

What?

Li Ni is so cunning.

Lieutenant He, only you

could guess

all his intricate thoughts
and intentions.

Does that mean

I'm cunning too?

No,

yours is wisdom.

So are you going to reply to his letter?

I don't know yet.

What do you mean you don't know?

Are you going to reply to him?

Well, I really don't know.

Well, will you write it?

Come on, write it.

Someone went inside your tent.

Taozi, come.

Let's take a walk.

Lieutenant He,

are we not going in
to catch that spy red-handed?

No matter.

Communicating with Li Ni using letters

was meant to lure out this spy.

Since they fell for it
and acted foolish again,

then let them be.

Master,

this is the letter Li Ni wrote
to Lieutenant He.

I thought of a way

and copied it word by word.

"I found combining dried nuts
with preserved fruits

enhances the flavor?

But trying them together now..."

What's this?

In my opinion,

Li Ni and Lieutenant He

are both shrewd individuals.

This letter appears normal
on the surface.

But it contains secret codes

with hidden messages.

That's why Lieutenant He

didn't hide the letter
in some hidden place.

She just left it out in the open

without being afraid of it being seen.

The phrase about combining dried nuts
and preserved fruits together

must be their secret code.

That makes sense.

How about we get someone

to decipher this letter?

Of course.

(Since our parting,)

(just a few days have passed,
yet it feels like years.)

(I have never felt like this before.)

(How I miss you so.)

(At sunset, I saw some plump
common water frogs.)

(I caught a few of them
and roasted them.)

(Too bad the fire was too intense,)

(and they got slightly burnt.)

(Letters)

Master!

After a lot of effort,

we've finally figured out
the secret behind the communication

between Lieutenant He and Li Ni.

Go on.

Upon leaving Laolan Pass,
Li Ni, Imperial Grandson,

has always excelled
in long-distance raids,

using deception
and diversion to create chaos.

This time,

he left Luoyang voluntarily.

I'm sure he's using the same tactic.

You have a point.

Keep going.

Master Cui, please take a look.

This letter is the most recent letter
that Lieutenant He received.

The phrase "caught a few"

typically refers

to a target staying by the lakeside.

By breaking down the phrase,

doesn't it suggest
an encircling strategy?

Then who's the target by the lakeside?

Now, isn't it a coincidence

that our army happened
to have passed by a lake

and is now located by the lakeside?

If nothing goes wrong,

at sunset today,

the Zhenxi Army will likely send someone
to join Lieutenant He,

coordinating an ambush
against our forces.

Master,

why not inform
the commander of this now?

Then, we could set an ambush.

If we successfully repel
the Zhenxi Army,

it would be a significant achievement.

Indeed.

You fools!

Master, calm down.

Answer me.

Everyone knows that Li Ni
is trying to breach Tong Pass.

How can he simultaneously launch
an attack on us?

Uh...

It has already passed sunset.

So, where is Li Ni?

Answer me!

Master.

Oh, Master.

Useless bunch!

- What a useless bunch!
- Please, Master.

Get lost.

I said, get lost!

Yes.

We'll take our leave.

Where did you get these?

Cui Li has been ordering his men
to monitor Lieutenant He.

These are the letters
he copied secretly.

I obtained these

from Cui Li's tent.

But Lieutenant He knew

about Cui Li's action.

But she didn't pursue it.

Master, calm down.

I just remembered

something important.

Previously, Lieutenant He used a letter

to set us up.

This reminds me

of how coincident it was.

It happened

after you met Pei Yuan.

Are you saying

that after I met with Pei Yuan,

he disclosed the plan to Lieutenant He?

The two collaborated to lure me in?

But shouldn't we

be on the same side

when it comes to killing Cui Lin?

If you want His Highness's letter,

it depends on
whether you can kill Cui Lin.

It appears
Li Ni has a close relationship

with Lieutenant He.

Otherwise,

why would he share

such classified information with her?

I previously considered

using Li Ni's hand to eliminate Lieutenant He.

But now it seems

not only he won't assist us,

but he'll also be against me.

Master, be patient.

Those defending Luoyang

are Li Ni's two older brothers,

Li Jun and Li Lai.

They have always been at odds with him.

Why don't we join forces with them?

This way,

we can resolve our issue
of having no military authority.

Excellent idea.

(Tong Pass is a formidable stronghold,
easy to defend and difficult to attack.)

(Li Ni led his army
and they fought for six days.)

(With Pei Yuan leading the charge,)

(they finally captured Tong Pass.)

Congratulations, Your Highness.

After the Zhenxi Army recaptured Dongdu,

they captured Tong Pass
not long after that.

Tong Pass?

That means they're not far

from Xichang anymore.

Yes, Your Highness.

They're getting close

to Xichang.

Li Ni chose not to contend
with his older brothers

and directly abandoned Luoyang.

He launched a surprise attack
on Tong Pass, which is 500 li away.

A bad bamboo can sometimes
yield good shoots.

Lord Liang

sure has a capable son.

Well, never mind that.

Lord Liang's three sons

are now close by.

As their father,

he has been held up in the capital
for a long time.

It's time for him
to write letters to his sons.

Sit.

Shiqi, how did the battle go?

Sit.

The overall situation is settled.

Don't pursue a desperate foe.

What about you?

Are you all right?

These are just flesh injuries.

Great.

After battling hard for so long,

we've finally taken Tong Pass.

My father said

Tong Pass is known
as the strongest stronghold.

Since the founding of the nation,

no army has been able to capture it.

In the future,

the Zhenxi Army can leave its mark
in the annals of imperial history.

Now, the situation has shifted
from attack to defense.

So after this,

you'll only have to worry

about how to defend Tong Pass.

Shiqi,

is there another Zhenxi Army in this world?

There's also no other Shiqi
in this world.

Then, the world doesn't have

another courageous Pei Yuan.

Don't flatter me.

But Shiqi,

I have a question.

You know it's impossible.

Why did you write letters

to Lord Kuaiji and Lord Linzi,

asking them to jointly encircle Xichang?

My two older brothers
are as stubborn as mules

from being spoiled by my father.

If you want to go west,

they will insist on going east.

I don't want them
to act rashly and send troops

to cause trouble to fight over merits

at a critical moment like this.

So of course, I have to write letters
to them to join the encirclement.

When I do this,

they're less likely to listen to me,

and naturally remain idle,

without taking any action.

This is called reverse psychology.

Saying one thing but doing the opposite.

(Luoyang)

(Recipient, Brother.)

(Lord Linzi, Li Jun)

(Please lead the troops. I'll siege
and recapture the capital.)

(Lord Kuaiji, Li Lai)

Jun, what did he write in the letter?

Read it yourself.

Li Ni has captured Tong Pass.

He wants us

to deploy troops to surround Xichang?

Jun, what is he...

Li Ni dares

to order us around

by relying on his achievement

in taking Tong Pass!

Jun, being ordered around is one thing.

But deploying troops to surround Xichang

is a serious matter.

I'm afraid he intends to use our troops

to help him achieve his goals.

I've long known

that Li Ni is treacherous.

We can't

let his plans succeed.

Jun,

didn't Cui Li of the Cui Army

send a messenger here a few days ago?

You mean...

Jun,

I think

we can lend troops to Cui Li

because he's lending the troops
to kill Cui Lin

and put the blame on Li Ni.

That way,

he'll become

a sharp blade

in your hands.

Young Master.

You have returned.

It must be a rough journey.

How is Father's health?

Great General is doing well.

But when he heard Young Master Cui Li
came here without permission

and interfered with military affairs,

he was furious

and ordered me
to bring the command badge to you.

This is great.

With this command badge,

I can order Cui Li back to Yingzhou.

Then I no longer have to worry
about him causing trouble.

I can't believe

Cui Lin resorted to all means
to obtain Uncle's command badge

to order me to depart back to Yingzhou

and not to follow the main army.

Cui Lin, you jerk.

Am I that dreadful to you

that you try every means
to transfer me away?

Master, calm down.

We have received a reply from Luoyang.

Why don't we read what it says?

(Grant the title
of Grand General Weiyang)

Master, what does it say?

Li Jun has agreed to send troops

to help me kill Cui Lin.

Once I succeed,

he'll appoint me
as Great General Weiyang.

Congratulations, Master.

Congratulations, Great General.

As long as Cui Lin is dead,

I will command

the Cui Army rightfully.

At that time,

we can blame Li Ni

for everything.

Two birds with one stone.

Absolutely flawless.

No wonder it was so difficult
to conquer this place.

Look at the city walls

and the surrounding terrain.

It's truly a fortress

that's hard to breach.

When we tried to capture it,
it was tough.

But now that our roles have switched
to defense,

these natural defenses

are indeed advantageous.

It is, isn't it?

If Laolan Pass had half
of this natural advantage,

we wouldn't need

so many troops to defend it.

Is it another letter?

Mister Shiqi,

you must be eagerly awaiting news.

(Tong Pass)

Report!

An envoy from Xichang has arrived!

Grand Governor sent me
to convey his order.

The Zhenxi Army must withdraw from Tong Pass
within three days.

Outrageous!

Did Sun Jing send you here to die?

General Pei Yuan.

Since I dared to come,

I'm not afraid of losing my life.

Also, there's a letter from Lord Liang

for you.

What if I insist on
not withdrawing the troops?

If you don't withdraw,

then three days from now at noon,

Your Highness
should prepare mourning attire

to mourn Lord Liang.

I suppose my father

must have written three letters.

The other two
have already been sent to Luoyang

for my two brothers, right?

Yes.

I wonder,

compared to Your Highness
and your brothers,

which one of you is more filial?

Lieutenant He,

you still haven't finished
these dried nuts?

These were quite popular
in Dongdu at that time,

and people said they were delicious.

Many people rushed to buy them.

You're good at remembering
all these details.

Originally,

everyone just ate dried nuts
and kernels.

But you prefer

eating them with preserved fruits.

How could I not remember
something like that?

Moreover, kernels are indeed crispy
and fill the stomach,

quite delicious.

But,

it's been days now,

and Tong Pass

hasn't sent a single letter.

Are you worried about a certain someone

or Tong Pass?

Lieutenant He,

I'm talking about serious matters.

Perhaps something has happened
in the capital.

So he might not have the time
to write letters.

Lieutenant He,

who are you talking about?

Who is he?

Who is he?

Who is he?

Even dried nuts

can't stop you from talking.

All right, I'll stop.

But who is he?

Shiqi, an urgent report from Luoyang.

Lord Linzi and Lord Kuaiji

have already decided
to withdraw their troops from Luoyang.

(No movement from the enemy.)

My two brothers have always been filial

(Provisions are being transported)
since they were young.

It's no wonder

my father has always cherished them.

Luoyang was originally an advantage

they took from you.

They naturally won't feel the pinch.

But now,

we're in a difficult situation.

We absolutely cannot let go of Tong Pass.

If Luoyang falls,

our army will be cut off.

But Sun Jing

is truly ruthless.

If we don't withdraw the troops,

he might really harm Lord Liang.

Shiqi, what do we do?

Shiqi!

From the emperor
to the common people,

we all believe in
the importance of being filial.

If we don't withdraw the troops,

Sun Jing might really kill Lord Liang.

When that happens,

there will be an uproar.

Those senior officials and army loyalists

will all turn against us.

Shiqi,

what should we do now?

Miss, you can't go.

If you go,

you'll be walking into a death trap.

Qiucui,

please don't stop me.

I've never been favored

by my parents at home.

I almost lost my life in Bingzhou.

If it weren't for Li Ni saving me,

I might have become

a mound of earth by now.

When he saved me,

he seemed like a god descending
from heaven.

At that moment, I thought,

perhaps he was the one
I'd been waiting for.

To repay him,

I'm willing to give everything,
even my life.

But Miss,

you've had a tough life
from a young age.

If you really lose your life
because of this,

I'm afraid there won't be anyone left
who truly cares about you.

Miss,

I want to go with you
and make it back to Xichang alive.

Li Ni captured Luoyang

and Tong Pass after.

He advanced like the raging wind,

showing he was not an ordinary man.

He'll have a bright future.

He's a person who values loyalty
and righteousness.

If I help him in times of danger,

he'll surely remember

and repay me with gratitude.

If I can help him now,

do I have to worry

about having no place here?

If I don't strive now, when should I?

Miss,

why do you suddenly

seem like a different person?

Before, you never sought to compete
or vie for anything.

Sometimes, when servants
were disrespectful to you,

you wouldn't allow me
to stand up for you.

Qiucui,

I didn't strive

because I didn't have the strength

or the opportunity to compete.

So why bother if it's in vain?

In the future,

you'll be my trusted confidant.

You must also learn

to assess situations

and choose when to act wisely.

That's what smart people do.

Greetings, General.

Greetings, General Pei Yuan.

Miss Gu, no need to be formal.

I have a confidential matter

to discuss with you.

Miss Gu, please speak.

I heard Sun Jing

uses Lord Liang to threaten you.

I'm willing to go to Xichang

to act on your behalf

and find a way to rescue Lord Liang.

Do you have any plans?

In the capital,
many influential and loyal families

still support the country.

However, Sun Jing is too powerful.

So they dare not speak out.

Please provide a token to me.

When I return to the capital,

in your name,

I'll contact these noble families
in secret,

and bribe the palace guards.

Perhaps, by using a strategic approach,
we might be able to rescue Lord Liang.

No,

it's too risky.

If Sun Jing finds out,

or if someone betrays you,

it could cost you your life and implicate...

I'm not afraid of death.

If I die for righteousness,

it would be an honorable death.

Even my father,

I'm sure you know

that he won't yield
to that traitor, Sun Jing.

He will surely agree with my decision.

Thank you for your loyalty, Miss Gu.

I've already made an arrangement
in the capital.

So you can rest assured.

Jin'niang,

did you say this letter

was placed on the table,

but you don't know who delivered it?

Your Highness,

could it be a trap set
by Grand Governor?

No, it doesn't look like it.

This letter is full of cryptic words.

This letter is full of cryptic messages.

But I understand

what he's asking for.

I think

Li Ni wants to join forces with me.

He must have been planning this
for a long time

and finally had the confidence
to rescue Lord Liang.

Your Highness, do we...

Of course, we'll help him.

Do as what was written in the letter.

Move the orchid under the window.

Yes, Your Highness.

This is great, Miss.

You don't need to take risks
by going to Xichang anymore.

His Highness will surely have a way
to rescue Lord Liang.

Although he hasn't explicitly revealed
the plan to me,

through this incident,

I have become someone he trusts.

Miss, are you planning...

Li Ni and Lieutenant He of the Cui Army

often have close contacts.

They seem to share
a romantic connection.

It's a good thing the Cui Army
has returned to Yingzhou.

So they'll be far apart.

If I'm someone he trusts,

I'll naturally find a way

to create some distance
between him and Lieutenant He.

If you could marry His Highness,

it would be great.

Then, no one in the mansion
would dare to look down on you.

But it's too early
to talk about this now.

I wonder if His Highness will be able

to rescue Lord Liang this time.

To be honest,

whether or not Lord Liang
can be rescued

is entirely beneficial

for Li Ni.

Miss,

I don't understand.

If he successfully rescues Lord Liang,

it would naturally be great.

After that, Li Ni would have unrestricted
military power.

If he failed to rescue Lord Liang,

and Lord Liang was killed by Sun Jing.

Even in his grief,

he won't need to fear consequences.

Even if there is public criticism,

as long as Li Ni
holds military authority,

who will dare to blame Li Ni
in the future?

Since Li Ni likes intelligent people,

I don't need to hide my cleverness

in front of him.

Do you think

Li Ni will withdraw from Tong Pass

like his brothers?

What do you think?

If a battle is lost,

they can make a comeback.

But once people's trust is lost,

it's hard to get it back.

His brothers

are already leaving Luoyang.

If Li Ni doesn't move,

he'll be the subject of criticism.

I think he'll withdraw.

Li Ni is a clever schemer.

He likely already has a plan
to rescue Lord Liang.

Sun Jing is vigilant
in guarding Lord Liang.

It won't be easy to rescue him.

So, he needs to think carefully
and come up with a plan.

Plus, he needs favorable timing,
location, and cooperation.

But I think Li Ni

already has an arrangement

for everything.

Favorable timing,
location, and cooperation?

What is considered favorable timing,
location, and cooperation?

Taozi,

do you still remember

the medicine you formulated for him?

Lieutenant He!

Lieutenant He!

Lieutenant He!

Lieutenant He,

urgent report from Yingzhou.

Young Master asked you to return
to discuss this matter.
