[Fighting for love]

[Episode 31]

Maisui, Marshal of the Zhenbei Army,

colluded with Beimo.

If we don't arrest her now,

are we supposed to wait until she joins forces with the Beimo Army

to attack Nanxia?

Then tell me.

Why would she collude with the enemy?

Marshal Mai has admitted it.

[Maisui]

I don't believe it.

You must have tortured her and forced her to confess.

There's no need for that.

We have witnesses except the physical evidence.

Beimo's general Chang Yuqing

once had a wedding in Yuzhou.

His bride was Mai.

And many people

have seen that Mai and Chang Yuqing were together.

They are very close.

In that case,

what's Mai's intention by disguising herself as a man

to join Nanxia's army?

Prime Minister Lin, you mean...

Marshal Shang, I hope you can keep your promise

and marry Lin Zerou as soon as possible.

How can we be so hasty about marriage?

A woman joined the army.

She colluded with the enemy and deceived the emperor.

Each crime is unforgivable.

She should be executed according to the law.

Mr. Xu, what do you think?

On the wedding day of the emperor and the empress,

the emperor can announce an amnesty.

Then Mai can live.

What do you think,

Prime Minister Lin?

I hope the day of you ascending the throne

is also your wedding day.

Then there will be two things worth celebrating,

and the world will celebrate together.

Long live the emperor.

Long live

the emperor.

Aren't you an invincible general from Beimo?

Why are you being imprisoned here?

I told you I would come to you.

I'll definitely come to you.

We really are destined to meet.

We meet so soon.

If I can't take you back this time,

I don't need to go back to Beimo either.

I'm wondering

if you asked someone to bring me here.

General Chang, if you want to die,

don't get me implicated.

When I was trying to make eye contact with you just now,

what were you looking at?

Marshal Shang,

if we refused to promise

Prime Minister Lin just now,

Mai

will definitely die.

We should focus on

what's important and urgent.

Why are you suddenly getting married tomorrow?

We don't have enough time to prepare for it.

Miss Lin, this is unfair.

Don't say that.

His Majesty entered the palace not long ago.

He has many things to deal with.

Of course we should make it simple.

How can he be distracted because of me?

You're right.

Bring me wine.

Your Majesty,

you should stop drinking.

It's bad for your health.

What's bad for my health?

If you don't bring me wine,

I'll kill you.

Okay.

According to the emperor's edict,

the world is set,

and everything is in harmony.

The country is prosperous,

and there is a sign of developing better.

I heard that Zerou, the daughter of the Lin family,

is polite, cautious,

and gentle.

With the gold edict and seal,

I appoint you as the empress.

The responsible department shall deal with the matter.

Respect this.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Mai.

I'm going to tell you something.

Don't be sad.

I think

it was Shang Yizhi who put you in prison.

When they interrogated me these days,

they didn't ask anything about Beimo's military information.

They

only asked me

whether we have colluded with each other.

Except Shang Yizhi,

who else do you think would be interested in our business?

You think too much.

He won't do anything bad to me.

Let me tell you.

It must be Shang Yizhi.

Behave yourself.

Take him away.

Move.

Marshal Mai, how are you?

Thanks to Prime Minister Lin,

I sleep well every day.

Peace vegetables

and last wine.

You think too much.

General Chang.

It's you.

The emperor is getting married tonight.

He doesn't have time for you.

He asked me to come here.

Congratulations.

Go ahead.

What's the matter?

The army of Beimo is now approaching Jingyang Pass

and is ready to attack Nanxia.

What do you want?

If you promise that you will withdraw your army,

we will release you immediately.

Release me?

Why?

The emperor doesn't want to see the people in misery.

So he decided

to release you.

If Beimo doesn't have a reason to send troops,

the dispute will be resolved.

General Chang,

what do you think?

It's not difficult to withdraw the army.

But what about Mai?

Don't worry.

Mai

will surely be fine.

Okay.

I promise you.

Today is the wedding day of the emperor and the empress.

This is the wedding wine for you.

♫Light is not me♫

♫It can still be touched at night♫

♫Light walks alone♫

♫Making everything in this world colorful♫

♫Why does it hurt so much and why is the attachment so strong?♫

♫The eyes and the feelings make me unable to sleep, and I'm still me♫

♫But there's nowhere to hide the wounds and memories♫

♫That's light and my stubbornness♫

♫There's sorrow in my heart♫

♫I think I can only be a flame♫

♫Flowing in the wind♫

♫Wandering beyond the vast universe♫

♫Nothing can blow it out♫

♫I think I can only be me♫

♫Like the fleeting sunset♫

♫Shining in the vast sky♫

♫I'm the light that can't be blown out♫

Boss,

give me a bottle of wine.

Okay.

30 coins a bottle.

I'm going to get it for you.

Take it.

Sir, goodbye.

General Mai.

Would you like a bottle of wine?

Give me a bottle.

Okay.

30 coins.

I'll come next time.

General Mai,

the wine is free of charge.

Everyone in Shengdu City knows General Mai.

Besides, today is the wedding day of the new emperor.

I'm giving the wine to you.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Look.

So beautiful.

Look at the fireworks.

There are more.

Zerou,

today,

I'm really busy with government affairs.

I'm afraid

I have to spend the night in the Imperial Study tonight.

If you really are tired,

go to bed first.

Your Majesty,

I'm the empress but I'm not capable enough.

I just want to share your burdens.

I will never compete for your favor

or interfere in court affairs.

If you leave now,

I'll feel guilty towards my ancestors

and the people.

I can only die.

Prepare the wine.

Your Majesty,

it's late.

Rest early.

Your Majesty,

let me take you to bed.

Since you are so sad,

why don't you leave?

If you are willing,

I can take you back to Beimo anytime.

Tell me when you figure it out.

I'll go find you.

Your Majesty,

we received news from Jingyang.

Beimo has withdrawn the army.

Your Majesty,

Han Maisui wants to see you.

Let her in.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

What are you doing?

Why do you have a strong smell of alcohol?

You may leave.

Okay.

Mai,

there is something I...

Can you give me something?

I can give you whatever you want.

But there is something I...

Can you give me something?

What is it?

My father's house.

Duke Sheng's Mansion?

Why?

That place makes you sad.

Your Majesty, please grant my wish.

Fine.

All right.

I'll give it to you.

Stand up.

But there's something...

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I'll take my leave.

♫The cold wind blew across the land, and I sang a sad song with it♫

♫The mountains are extensive and the seas are vast, but how much joy can we get?♫

[Duke Sheng's Mansion]

♫It's getting dark in the desert, and the mighty soldiers are fighting on horses among the blown sand♫

♫Whose happy song are they protecting?♫

♫If my ending has been decided♫

Hurry. Come in with me.

♫Maybe I'm no longer a moth flying into the fire♫

Hurry. Come with me.

♫Time flies like rain, and it's scattered all over the ground♫

♫The shaking flames of war are about to extinguish, and there will be partings again♫

♫I hoped for it and I became speechless♫

♫I sank into the ruined city and watched myself♫

♫I'd rather not dream♫

♫I want to wander in the world without happy or sad feelings♫

Mai.

Father. Father.

Father. Father.

♫When the storm rises again, I'll fight again on the battlefield♫

You deserve to be my daughter.

♫Where can I find the mountains and rivers of my hometown?♫

You're smart.

I must make you

the first female general in Nanxia.

♫I'm waiting under the moon, hoping that the meteor will streak across the sky♫

♫It seems I can still feel your heartbeat, and it's so wonderful♫

♫If my ending has been decided♫

♫How can my lifetime pass so quickly?♫

♫Time flies like rain, and it's scattered all over the ground♫

♫The shaking flames of war are about to extinguish, and there will be partings again♫

Go!

Mother.

♫I hoped for it and I became speechless♫

♫I sank into the ruined city and watched myself♫

♫I'd rather not hide from it♫

♫It'll never stop growing for the rest of my life♫

Father! Mother!

No.

Get the horse ready.

Let's go.

Okay.

Only advance; never retreat.

-Focus on the training. -Live without fear of death.

One.

Only advance; never retreat. Live without fear of death.

Two.

Are your voices that low?

Shout it out!

Three.

Four.

Five.

Stand firmly.

Stand steadily.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

You think we stink,

so you wouldn't sleep in your bed, right?

You are so stinky.

Don't move.

Don't move.

Move your stuff

to the bed at the entrance now.

Give me a chance to embrace the hero.

Fine. We are giving you the chance.

-Let me hold you. -Be careful.

I knew you wouldn't stay put.

But Mai,

it's inevitable

for a soldier to get hurt.

But you must learn to protect yourself.

The spirit of the Seventh Battalion

will live on forever.

[Eighth Squad, Fourth Platoon, Seventh Battalion]

Marshal Mai,

we all know

what Shang Yizhi did to you.

No matter what,

in our hearts,

you'll be our Marshal Mai forever.

We helped Shang Yizhi

get the throne.

We can also overthrow him.

As long as you give the order,

we will support you forever.

Support Marshal Mai!

Support Marshal Mai!

Support Marshal Mai!

Support Marshal Mai!

Support Marshal Mai!

What are you doing?

Do you want to start a rebellion?

Do you know what soldiers' duty is?

Protecting our country and fighting against enemies

instead of killing our own people.

Soldiers

should always obey orders.

Soldiers can't act on impulse.

His Majesty is the emperor of our country.

No one should offend him.

Marshal Mai.

Dismiss.

Dismiss.

Mai.

I will be away from Shengdu for a few days.

I came to say goodbye.

Where will you go?

It's something personal.

I'll be back in a few days.

Erdan.

Yes.

Pass my order.

Prepare wine

and meat.

Okay.

Mai.

[Duke Sheng's Mansion]

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

What?

You've figured it out?

Going to Beimo with me this time

is not a joke.

I have nothing and no one to worry about.

My home is wherever I am.

Besides,

I'm not going to Beimo because of you.

Mai, where are you going?

I won't let you leave.

No matter where I go, it has nothing to do with you.

Let's go.

Mai,

if you insist on leaving,

you'll have to step over my body.

Bai,

step aside.

I can't do that.

If you leave,

what should the Zhenbei Army and Qi Yu do?

If you stay,

I'll let him go.

Otherwise,

you'll have to step over my body.

You leave.

Mai,

take this.

This is the passport.

When you go to Beimo next time,

you can find me with it.

Thank you.

If you dare to make her feel wronged again,

I will definitely lead an army to destroy Nanxia.

Let him go.

Your Majesty,

I think this is very strange.

Everyone in Duke Sheng's Mansion was murdered

by Beimo people a few years ago.

No one in the mansion survived.

Everyone in Shengdu City knows about this.

Now, a daughter suddenly appeared.

Your Majesty, please investigate it thoroughly.

Your Majesty,

what Minister Cai said is right.

Maisui disguised herself as a man to join the army.

She violated the law of Nanxia.

She should be executed according to the law.

Maybe she is pretending to be the daughter of a meritorious official

because she's afraid of death.

You are not the only ones who are shocked by it.

When I knew about it,

I couldn't believe it either.

But I've investigated it thoroughly.

Mai's real name is Han Maisui.

She is indeed the only daughter of Duke Sheng.

Everyone in Duke Sheng's Mansion was slaughtered.

The murderer

was the godson of Duke Sheng

and a spy of Beimo.

He is Chen Qi, currently Marshal of Beimo.

Mai was little and hid in the dark.

That's why she survived.

But it hasn't been easy for her

these years.

She hid her identity

and disguised herself as a man to hide in the army.

She just wants

to meet Chen Qi again

on the battlefield someday

to avenge her family members.

Your Majesty,

she has this kind of spirit as a woman.

She is admirable.

Your Majesty,

Maisui is indeed very filial.

But the law of Nanxia is not a joke.

Heaven, Earth, the emperor, family members, and mentors.

The emperor comes before family members.

She has to be punished for deceiving the emperor.

If every woman takes her as an example,

what's the use of military rules?

Your Majesty,

that's right.

Besides,

if other countries know

Nanxia let women kill enemies on the battlefield,

no matter what the reason is,

other countries would think Nanxia's men are incompetent

and weak.

Nanxia will lose face.

Your Majesty,

I have something to say.

Please go ahead.

What Prime Minister Lin and Minister Bao said

is reasonable.

But among all the people here today,

the only ones who saw Mai kill enemies

are His Majesty and me.

Maisui

is a woman,

but she has never been afraid during war.

On the battlefield,

she started from a nobody.

She's fought her way

to get what she has got.

She deserves

the reputation of Little God of War

and has never tarnished the reputation of Duke Sheng's Mansion.

How dare you!

How can a country's etiquette and law be a joke?

I've already

relieved Mai of her position as Marshal of the Zhenbei Army.

It's just that...

Duke Sheng and his wife

made contributions to Nanxia.

We should respect the deceased.

How about this?

I'll reluctantly make Mai a consort

to help them take care of her.

In this way, Duke Sheng and his wife

can rest in peace.

Your Majesty,

but the army

needs a marshal.

You are right.

I'll let Mu Bai and Tang Shaoyi

handle military affairs temporarily.

What do you think?

Your Majesty, you are wise.

Look. His Majesty obviously came prepared.

Could it be that Maisui and His Majesty

fell in love long ago?

Looks like His Majesty is really affectionate.

His Majesty and Maisui have strong feelings for each other.

Then the empress...

Don't worry.

I cultivated my daughter myself.

How can an orphan outshine her?

I'm sorry.

Her Majesty is virtuous and pretty.

A vulgar woman who only knows swords and spears is no match for her.

That's right.

No matter how strong she is,

she's still a woman.

She can't make a big deal out of it.

Just ask someone to keep an eye on her.

Your Majesty, why did you tell everyone

Mai's true identity just now?

The current situation is still unclear,

and now we are in need of manpower.

Your Majesty, you acted a bit recklessly.

Everyone knows

Duke Sheng was killed by Beimo people.

Now that I've told everyone

Mai's true identity,

she can no longer go back to Beimo.

What story

are you going to tell me this time?

I'm not going to tell you a story this time.

Chen Qi,

you've grown up.

It's time to tell you the truth.

About what happened back then, how much do you still remember?

I was little at that time.

I vaguely remember

that was the first time I went to battle with my parents.

But my father was defeated

and my parents died tragically.

Later...

my godfather saved me.

Do you want to avenge your parents?

How should I avenge them?

How can I find my enemies?

Your enemies are the Chang family in Beimo

and your godfather, Han Huaicheng, Nanxia's Duke Sheng.

The heads of your parents

were chopped off by Han Huaicheng himself.

Impossible.

You are lying.

Do you still recognize this?

This belonged to my father.

I was there during the battle.

Your father entrusted this to me before he died.

He asked me to give it to you and tell you everything

at a proper time.

Then our friendship would be worth it.

Han Huaicheng won the battle

and returned with a great victory.

The Chang family in Beimo took away the Chen family's reputation

and rose rapidly in the army.

But you

were like an abandoned dog.

You accepted your enemy as your father.

Stop talking.

Go kill Han Huaicheng.

Give it to me.

Your Majesty,

it's late.

Have some snacks and rest early.

Leave it here.

Is this a puppy?

It's so cute.

Can you give it to me?
