[Fighting for love]

Episode 20

Mai.

Did you miss me again?

In my opinion,

the war should be over soon.

Then I'll marry you and take you back to my home.

Who said I would marry you?

You kissed me, so you have to be responsible for me, right?

Then you can be my matrilocal husband.

It's okay.

I'll be your matrilocal husband.

Then give me your sabre as your dowry.

Send it to the Seventh Battalion.

Who would give his fiancee a sabre as a betrothal gift?

How ominous it is.

I like it.

Give a sabre to each member of the Seventh Battalion.

It'll be better if you give them two respectively.

I see.

The reason why you came here to see me isn't that you missed me.

You came here to ask me for weapons.

Will you give them to me or not?

Yes, I will.

Ma'am,

I'll approve the request for you later.

I'm leaving then.

Then shouldn't you

kiss me forcibly?

Thank you, sir.

General, have you made a decision after thinking about it?

Sir,

although in the battle of Yelanggou,

the Beimo Army was defeated by us,

they still have many soldiers

who are stationed in Yuzhou.

The total number of our soldiers

is not even half of the number of the Beimo soldiers.

If I were Chen Qi,

I would go north at once when the Zhenbei Army's vitality

was greatly sapped.

As long as they cross the Wanjiang River,

Shengdu will be in danger.

But before that,

we must take back Yuzhou first.

Yuzhou is located on a plain where there is abundant food.

By occupying this city,

the Beimo Army is a threat to our territory on the north of the Wanjiang River.

Besides, since Yuzhou was occupied by our enemy,

we haven't heard from Lord Shi till now.

In the Zhenbei Army, the family members of those soldiers who are from Yuzhou

have been captured by the Beimo Army

because Shi Dachun surrendered to the enemy.

As time goes by, I'm afraid the morale of our army might change.

Our top priority now

is to get in touch with General Shi.

Therefore, I want to ask Lieutenant Tang to go there personally.

That's exactly what I want.

I'll follow the order.

Thank you, Lieutenant Tang.

Set out now.

I'll see you off.

Okay.

Come on.

Marshal Shang.

I have some concerns.

I know what your concerns are.

Few people know the truth

about Uncle Shi's fake surrender.

If I were Chen Qi,

I would also threaten or tempt him.

Instead of being scolded by the later generations for thousands of years,

I'd rather surrender to the enemy sincerely

and be a meritorious minister who contributes to founding the State of Beimo.

Marshal Shang,

that's exactly my concern.

If General Shi really wants to surrender,

I'm afraid I can't complete the task

when I'm going to Yuzhou alone this time.

Marshal Shang, please arrange an assistant for me.

Mai!

Are you regretting it?

What do you mean by regretting it?

You mean the dowry? No.

You mean the weapons?

I want to arrange a more important task for you.

If you finish this task successfully,

you can have all the weapons.

Take her away.

Thank you, Marshal Shang.

General Shi, don't blame me for being suspicious.

I thought you didn't surrender sincerely.

I was wary of you at first.

But later, I saw that all the departments in the city were quite cooperative

and there were no obstacles.

We could take over the defence of the city so smoothly.

It was all due to your help.

When I return to the capital, I'll fulfill my promise

and ask for a title for you.

It's my duty.

I dare not take credit.

Don't refuse, General Shi.

Although I have taken over Yuzhou,

I don't know much about the families in the city.

If His Majesty asks about it,

I don't know how to explain to him properly.

So, General Shi, please do me a small favor.

Please say it, Marshal Chen.

I wonder how many rich and famous merchants

there are in this city,

and which families have granaries that are full of food

and have the habit of hoarding food.

General Shi, please write down their names one by one for me.

Marshal Chen.

I used to be the City Guard indeed.

But I was

mainly in charge of city defence.

I really don't know such trivial matters

as people's livelihood.

Just tell me about three or five households, and it'll be fine.

I really don't know.

Then seven or eight households.

Ten households.

Please forgive my incompetence.

Fine.

In that case, I won't give you a hard time.

But the weather has been dry recently.

I'm just worried that it might lead to a fire in the city at night easily.

Two households.

Mr. Wang in the south of the city

used to get rich by selling illegal salt.

Mr. Zhang in the east of the city used to be a bandit at sea.

Both of them have earned their money illegally.

If you want me to talk about more households,

I don't know even if you kill me.

Okay.

Guards!

Yes.

Ask Deputy General Jiang to come here.

By the way,

I've heard that you like listening to operas.

It's boring to stay at home all day.

How about this?

Go to the Mingchun Garden and ask them to put on an opera here

in order to divert General Shi's attention from boredom.

Besides, go to my private vault

and fetch a box of Eastern Pearls so that Mrs. Shi can enjoy the fun of appreciating them.

Marshal Chen.

It's not the right time to listen to an opera now.

How about this?

My wife has been with me for many years.

I've never given her any jewelry.

I'd like to thank you on behalf of my wife.

Okay.

Stop.

Cui,

there are a few steamed buns left after we paid homage to the Buddha.

Just give those buns to them.

But Madam,

they won't accept the things from our mansion.

Both they and we are the people of Yuzhou.

We can't ignore them since we saw them.

-Yes.
-Just go.

Here you are.

Thank you. Thank you.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Here you are.

There are enough buns for everyone.

No hurry. Here you are.

Even if I starve to death, I won't accept the food given by a traitor.

Go away!

Go away!

Go away, poor woman!

Officer, please let me in.

My family is waiting for me.

I beg you, officer!

Let me in.

-Next one.
-Officer!

Let me in.

My child is waiting for me at home, officer!

-Ma'am. -Ma'am.

-Ma'am, stand up.
-Stand up.

-Come on.
-Come on.

Ma'am, here you are.

Thank you.

Ma'am.

Have the people in the city been bullied and insulted like this all the time?

Don't mention it.

These cruel bastards pretended to be kind before they entered the city.

They said they wouldn't hurt the people.

But not long after that, they changed.

They robbed whoever they saw.

Didn't General Shi stop them from doing that?

He's just a traitor who is afraid of death.

If he had not defected to the enemy,

we wouldn't have suffered like this.

Come on. Let's enter the city first.

Officer.

Here you are.

Thanks for your hard work, officer.

Here you are.

Guys, take the money to have some tea.

Moisten your throats.

Go.

Thank you, officer.

Let's go.

-Go away! -Go away!

Go away!

Officers, don't do this!

Officers!

These Beimo bastards

have bullied and suppressed the people so badly.

It was lucky that they didn't slaughter the people in the city.

Let's go.

Bro.

Chen Qi insists on living with you.

He's so disrespectful to you.

You're a general after all.

You should have your own mansion.

It's good enough to have a place to live when we're fighting at war as soldiers.

Why should I have so many requirements?

I just don't like Chen Qi and his faction,

especially that coward Jiang Chengyi.

If he had not hidden in the barracks without coming out,

I would have chopped his head off.

Bro, I know that

I need to calm down.

Chen Qi is weird, too.

He insists on living with you.

He seems to be close to me,

but he's actually trying to keep an eye on my every movement.

Though Yuzhou was conquered by me,

in fact,

it was Chen Qi who negotiated with the local defending troops.

He was determined to occupy Yuzhou.

I see.

But didn't our family say that...

Don't talk about this topic outside.

You are in charge of the patrol in the city.

When we walked all the way here just now,

I didn't see you carefully check

the surrounding people.

Don't let any spy enter the city.

Bro,

just look at the people of Nanxia who are so listless.

What's wrong, bro?

Nothing.

Be more careful on the next patrol.

Report to me if anything happens.

Yes.

Over there.

My dear husband.

Just let our second child take a bite, too.

I beg you.

-My dear husband.
-Mother.

-I beg you.
-Eat it yourself.

Nearly all the valuable things

at our home have been taken away by them.

Our eldest son is more likely to survive.

Otherwise,

our whole family will starve to death.

Big Brother, let's go take a look.

My dear wife.

You also need to stay alive.

Eat it.

My dear husband!

Spit it out.

Come on. Spit it out.

This is not edible.

Take the money

to buy some food for the kids.

Thank you, benefactor.

Thanks, benefactor.

You're welcome. Please get up.

-Thank you, benefactor. -You're welcome.

Thank you.

Okay.

Thank you.

Mai.

Is it still necessary for us to go to see Shi Dachun?

Lord Shi may not know the situation of this place.

Since he's an official in Yuzhou, doesn't he know the situation of the people here?

I think he has probably colluded with the Beimo people.

Big Brother.

When we see Lord Shi,

let's collaborate with each other to persuade him.

Let’s talk while walking.

-Okay.
-Let’s go.

Dear,

did you encounter any trouble when you went out

of the city to worship the Buddha with joss sticks today?

No.

Everything was fine.

Okay.

Chen Qi forced me to accept their gift.

Dear, just put it away.

There are precious jewels in this room.

General Shi and Mrs. Shi

are living such a good life.

Mai, you're here.

Hurry up.

General Shi, Mrs. Shi.

So this is Young Marquis's...

Yes.

This is the Mai, whom Young Marquis trusts the most.

I'll guard the door for you outside.

Okay.

Gentelmen,

please accept my bow.

Please get up, General Shi.

Why did you bow to us?

You are the closest people to Marshal Shang.

Seeing you is like seeing Marshal Shang.

I'm living a humble life in Yuzhou

and muddling along under the control of the enemy.

How can I live up to Marshal Shang's expectations?

How can I live up to

the efforts of the soldiers who fought so hard on the front line?

I feel ashamed.

General Shi.

Beimo people are barbarous.

You must have suffered a lot

while staying here to communicate with them.

I wonder whether the Beimo people made things difficult for you.

They know nothing about city defence and civil affairs.

Sometimes, they have to ask me about these things.

Thus, they're kind of polite to me.

The Beimo people let you eat abundant fish and meat

and gave you so many treasures for amusement.

They're just too polite.

Marshal Shang suspects that I've defected to the enemy?

I refused to accept nearly eighty or ninety percent

of the gold and silver given by the Beimo people.

But I just couldn't refuse to accept all their gifts.

They might get suspicious easily.

They've even confined me in this house.

Don’t worry, General Shi.

Marshal Shang has always believed in your loyalty.

This time, we came here

to discuss with you

about how to retake Yuzhou.

Yuzhou is like a granary of the Central Plains.

We can't let it be occupied by the Beimo people.

Does Marshal Shang have any good solutions?

No, he doesn't.

Then I'm afraid I can't follow his orders.

General Shi,

I'm sorry for our offence just now.

Please forgive us

and think more about the people in the city.

I'm doing this for the sake of the people.

It's normal for Marshal Shang to suspect me of defecting to the enemy.

I don't blame him.

But those defending soldiers from Beimo are powerful, and their horses are strong.

If Marshal Shang has no good solutions,

I can't risk

the lives of the people in the city.

General Shi,

do you know the current situation

of the people in the city?

Don't use the people as an excuse.

Do you know that the people of Yuzhou City

have become lambs that are waiting to be slaughtered?

How dare you mention them?

The people are in trouble?

General Shi, would you like to go out with me to take a look?

My dear husband.

What should I do after you passed away?

Wake up, dear husband!

What should I do after you passed away?

Dear!

How can I live?

If General Shi had really wanted to defect to the enemy,

you and I would have been arrested.

General Shi.

We just wanted you to see clearly

how the Beimo people bullied our people.

You are right.

I stayed at home like a coward without caring about what was happening outside.

I've disappointed the people by doing this.

General Shi.

Don't blame me for saying this to you bluntly.

Although we don't have

a thorough plan now,

for the sake of every citizen in this city,

we must do something

to save them from difficult situations.

What do you think?

General Shi, please make a decision.

I have an idea.

I don't know whether we can give it a try.

Please say it.

I need to talk to Marshal Shang face to face.

You don't trust me?

It's not like that.

All the people in the city

can only live once.

I can't risk their lives.

I understand.

We'll go back to Pingjia'ao at once and report it to Marshal Shang.

[Chen Qi is powerful now and has made the Empress Dowager always follow his advice.]

[Now we need to occupy Yuzhou as soon as possible, and then we can consider withdrawing the troops. It's urgent.]

Bro.

If I hadn't been caught in Pingjia'ao,

you wouldn't be in such a dilemma now.

Since you know that,

you should be more careful next time.

The most important thing now

is to take back the commanding rights of Yuzhou City as soon as possible.

Only in this case can our family carry out the plan well in the imperial court

in order to make Chen Qi withdraw the troops and return to the imperial court.

That's easy, isn't it? Just take his troops away directly.

Forget it. Let's take our time to figure out a way to withdraw the troops.

You've finished your patrol?

Don't worry, bro.

I've checked the city very carefully.

I'm here to tell you that

I took some men to take a look around Yuzhou City.

We didn't find anything unusual.

Did you go to Shi's Mansion and check that place?

No.

That old man follows Chen Qi's orders.

Why should I investigate him?

No, I'm still worried.

I'll go investigate him myself.

Big Brother.

There's no time to lose.

We need to go back to our barracks at once and report it.

How I wish we could have two fast horses now.

How about this, Mai?

I'll go get two horses from the Beimo Army and bring them here.

Let's go together.

It's safer to let me go alone.

Just wait for me here.

If I don't come back within an hour,

go back to the barracks yourself to report the news.

Big Brother,

if you don't see me after you come back,

you should also go back to the barracks yourself to report the news.

No need to worry about me.

Okay. It's a deal.

It's a deal.

Screw you!

I knew it.

This poor guy wouldn't have money to buy food.

Arrest them for me!

Come with us.

Let's go!

-My dear husband!
-I'll kill you!

My dear husband!

Why did you kill my parents?

Who did it?

Please spare my life, General.

I told you

not to harass or bully the people.

What? Don't you understand my military order?

General, I'm sorry.

Get lost!

It's really you.

You didn't come here alone.

Don't worry.

I'll make arrangements for these two kids.

Don't worry?

Can you people from Beimo really care about others?

I'll make arrangements personally.

Since we parted in Pingjia'ao,

have you ever regretted it?

Of course I have.

If I hadn't let the tiger return to the mountain,

the people of Yuzhou wouldn't have ended up

being bullied and slaughtered by the enemy!

Take him away.

Do you think that I was the one who did this?

The city gate of Yuzhou was opened by your cavalry.

If your soldiers weren't the ones who did this,

whose soilders could they be?

They were Chen Qi's soldiers.

Believe it or not,

though Yuzhou was conquered by me,

before the middle troops retreated from Yelanggou,

my soldiers

had never hurt any innocent civilians.

How can I trust you?

What do you want?

Send me to the Marshal's Mansion

so that I can kill him myself.

Then I'll trust you.

You won't be able to kill him.

I'll help you this time.

After I kill him,

you'll be the Marshal.

Okay. Let's take a bet.

You won't be able to kill him.

How do you know if you don't let me give it a try?

What are you doing?

Will you stop questioning me after I did this?

Chen Qi has gained the current position step by step.

How would he be scared by just a dagger?

Don't be stupid.

Thank you for your advice, General Chang.

But I know him better than you do.

Besides,

this is a personal grudge between him and me.

You don't have to interfere.

Thank you.

Put it down.

You're finally here, Sister.

You killed all the members of my family.

I surely have to come.

I didn't expect that you'd rather join the army

just in order to see me.

I've been missing you all these years.

Why?

My father personally taught you military strategies and martial arts skills.

My mother even loved you so dearly.

They treated you so nicely.

Why did you kill them?

Why?

I've never meant to hurt you.

I've never wanted to kill you, either.

I just hope that you can live well.

You hope I can live well?

Do you know how I've lived all these years?

Why don't you just kill me?

Why don't you just kill me?

Tell me why.

Tell me why.

Tell me why!

Mai.

You can't kill me.

If you kill me, you'll be killed, too.

Then let's die together!

Do you think that the people whom I took there that day

were really from Beimo?

Don't move!

Stop!

Marshal, be careful.

Don't hurt my woman.

Your woman?

She's obviously an assassin.

Today,

I took a fancy to this Nanxia woman on the street,

so I brought her back.

This dagger

is the love token I gave her.

But unexpectedly, this woman was so hot-tempered that

when I wasn't paying attention to her,

she took this opportunity to sneak out and disturb you.

How could a woman

be capable of assassinating others?

Could you please show me some respect

and let go of her?

Since it's a misunderstanding,

just let go of her.

Marshal.

Let go of her!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Let go of me!

Let go of me! Let me ask him clearly!

Let go of me! Let go of me!

Put me down!

Put me down now!

Are you crazy?

Do you want to die?

That's the Marshal's Mansion.

If I had not saved you just now,

you would have died. Do you know that?

I don't care what the big grudge is

between you and Chen Qi.

I'm not interested in it at all, either.

You know what?

I want to kill Chen Qi, too.

I thought of every possible way to kill him.

But it's not easy to kill him.

It's not something as simple

as you thought you could do like this.

Now no matter what you want to do,

we must discuss it and think about it carefully first.

Just stay in this room.

Don't go anywhere else.

Just let me handle the matter

between you and Chen Qi.

Did you hear me?

♫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?♫

♫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♫

-Mai! -Go!

-Go! -Go!

♫How can my lifetime pass so quickly?♫

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

I can't find her.

Where is she?

Look for her carefully!

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

Let me search this area.

You guys can search the area over there.

Okay.

♫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♫

♫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 hide from it♫

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

Keep an eye on her closely.

You'll be held responsible if she's missing.

Yes.

What?

Mai was abducted by Chang Yuqing?

It was my fault.

But there was news from General Shi.

I had no choice but to come back to the barracks first.

Marshal Shang, calm down.

What did General Shi say?

General Shi said he had a way to retake Yuzhou,

but he must talk to Marshal Shang face to face personally.

I must go.

I'm afraid there might be a trap.

Marshal Shang.

Don't be impulsive.

Sir.

Uncle Shi won't hurt me.

Besides,

how can we let Mai fall into the hands of the enemy?

He's our army’s Charming Yama.

Even so,

the army should still be managed by a leader here.

You don't have to go personally.

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

You can stay here.

I'll ask the Personal Guards Battalion to go with me.

Mu Bai.

Tell everyone to get changed to disguise themselves.

We'll set off in 15 minutes.

Yes.

My Lady, have you got up?

My Lady.

I'm coming in.

The general has prepared some clothes for you.

Please change into these clothes.

I'm Mo Yu,

General Chang's personal guard.

I'm here to protect you under his order.

You're here to protect me?

Yes.

You'll protect me only by yourself?

Yes.

You don't have to accompany me.

I need to go to the toilet.

Miss.

I still have to follow you when you go to the toilet.

What? You even need to accompany me when I go to the toilet?

If I want to take a bath,

will you also need to accompany me?

I've got the order that

I have to follow you wherever you go.

Miss.

I've prepared some food for you.

Where are you going now, Miss?

I'm not going anywhere.

I just want to take a walk casually.

You don't have to accompany me.

Lieutenant Tang and Mu Bai should enter the city with me.

You guys can stay outside the city.

Okay.

No.

The situation in the city is complicated.

Just let more people go with you to protect you.

We can only use our wisdom this time. We can't do it forcibly.

It'll be a burden if there are too many people.

They can enter the city in batches.

Alright. Let's take a step back respectively.

Zhao Zhong is good at martial arts. Take him with you.

Right, Young Marquis.

Fine.

The four of us will go.

The rest of you should take care of the horses outside the city first,

and wait for the signal at any time.

Yes.

Let's go.

Bro.

Are you really going to protect that woman?

She's a trouble maker.

Currently, your Chang Family can't afford any trouble.

The imperial court already knows about this.

Besides, if Chen Qi knows this,

he won't let you off.

Bro.

You should either kill her or let go of her.

Or you can hand her over to Chen Qi.

But you...

No.

I think this is an opportunity.

We can use this person

to eliminate the Nanxia Army and Chen Qi at the same time.
