00:02:17,730 --> 00:02:18,300
Who are you?

5
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:21,340
Strange.

6
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,340
Yan Fengshan shouldn't be here this early.

7
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,080
I'm a cripple.

8
00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:29,520
Who do you think I am?

00:02:29,580 --> 00:02:32,340
[Cangyue Tower]

10
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:49,460
I, Gu Yu,

11
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,300
request to see

12
00:02:51,870 --> 00:02:52,800
the regional commanders

13
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:53,950
of Long'an,

14
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,530
Beiting, Fanyang, and Zhenxi.

15
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,020
Yan Fengshan abducted me

16
00:03:17,710 --> 00:03:19,690
to win you over.

17
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:20,820
But as you

18
00:03:20,820 --> 00:03:22,170
can see now,

19
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:23,300
the Huben Army

20
00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:26,730
could not even hold a cripple like me.

21
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,890
That alone proves

22
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,330
Yan Fengshan's strength is spent.

23
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,050
I came unarmed to see you.

24
00:03:41,870 --> 00:03:43,580
I do not fear death.

25
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,050
I only fear

26
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,420
becoming the shame of Chang'an.

27
00:03:50,590 --> 00:03:51,770
Before you all,

28
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,300
I will speak plainly.

29
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,790
I have handed the command

30
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,880
of the Baiwenhu Army to His Majesty.

31
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:00,860
If you refuse

32
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,090
to surrender your military seals,

33
00:04:04,890 --> 00:04:06,180
that is rebellion.

34
00:04:17,890 --> 00:04:19,390
You may kill me

35
00:04:19,390 --> 00:04:20,420
right here.

36
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,110
But whether I live

37
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:27,600
or die

38
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:29,660
today,

39
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,290
my troops

40
00:04:34,890 --> 00:04:37,290
will march with His Majesty to quell the rebellion.

41
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:44,580
The Tiemo people hate His Majesty and me

42
00:04:45,290 --> 00:04:48,150
because when we join hands

43
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:49,530
on the battlefield,

44
00:04:50,030 --> 00:04:51,060
we are not only strong

45
00:04:52,230 --> 00:04:53,450
but also ruthless.

46
00:05:00,060 --> 00:05:03,180
Yan Fengshan had the Baiwenhu Army ambushed.

47
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,840

50
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,290
and Shan were all killed.

51
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:22,920
So in return, I left him

52
00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:25,770
a mountain of corpses in Hidden Soldier Alley.

53
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:33,460
If you choose treason,

54
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,980
I will make sure you watch

55
00:05:38,990 --> 00:05:40,410
with your own eyes

56
00:05:41,630 --> 00:05:43,910
as every grown man in your households

57
00:05:43,910 --> 00:05:44,810
is killed,

[Cangyue Tower]

65
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,290
At least for now,

66
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,810
the imperial court has avoided disaster.

67
00:06:33,670 --> 00:06:34,610
Next,

68
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,580
everything rests on whether Huai'an's trap

69
00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:39,780
can have Yan Fengshan killed.

70
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:10,100
Mother, all set.

71
00:07:13,330 --> 00:07:15,110
Once I'm done with this one, place it in there too.

72
00:07:49,190 --> 00:07:50,580
I searched everywhere for you.

73
00:07:51,190 --> 00:07:52,220
I thought something had happened.

74
00:07:59,190 --> 00:08:00,370
Those who should be dead are still alive.

75
00:08:01,750 --> 00:08:02,660
I won't die yet.

76
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,100
How did it go?

77
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,490
Just as you ordered,

78
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,460
the Imperial Guards

79
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,410
closed nine of the twelve gates.

80
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,020
Only the three western gates remain open.

81
00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:16,230
They also pushed the inspection posts

82
00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:17,250
five li outward.

83
00:08:17,870 --> 00:08:18,900
The travel pass you forged has appeared.

84
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:20,540
After passing inspection, he entered

85
00:08:20,870 --> 00:08:21,700
through Yanping Gate.

86
00:08:24,430 --> 00:08:25,730
How about the deployment?

87
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,250
Six full battalions are in place.

88
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,290
Xiao Wuyang has set out as well,

89
00:08:29,750 --> 00:08:30,540
carrying that sword of his.

The rain

91
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,820
sounds different than usual.

92
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:57,890
Huai'an,

93
00:08:58,670 --> 00:08:59,610
you must've been too tired.

94
00:09:04,830 --> 00:09:05,700
Maybe.

95
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,010
I've waited

96
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,250
too long for this moment.

97
00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:35,650

the one carrying the travel pass you forged

101
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,340
was dressed in white, wearing a bamboo hat

102
00:09:49,950 --> 00:09:51,490
with black gauze hanging from it.

103
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,180
It was confirmed.

104
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,940
That man was Yan Fengshan.

Our men

106
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,130

all keeping

109
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:01,850
a careful distance.

110
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,700
Once he enters the city,

111
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:05,650
the signal flag will be raised,

112
00:10:06,070 --> 00:10:07,100
and we will strike on the spot.

113
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:30,960
He is Yan Fengshan.

114
00:10:32,430 --> 00:10:33,360
Will he come?

119
00:13:03,190 --> 00:13:03,940
Have you confirmed

120
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,420
it is Yan Fengshan?

121
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,220
The soldiers are examining the body.

122
00:13:08,550 --> 00:13:09,140
We found this

123
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,440
on the horse.

124
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:36,890
Let me.

125
00:16:45,750 --> 00:16:46,480
Give it to me.

134

It is time to face it.

Five li outside the city,

136
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,350
the man who passed inspection was Yan Fengshan.

137
00:18:01,950 --> 00:18:03,080
But somewhere along the way,

138
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,170
Bai Wan was switched in.

139
00:18:06,250 --> 00:18:07,230
That means

140
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,680
we had long been exposed,

141
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:13,600
and the men outside the city

142
00:18:14,510 --> 00:18:16,460
had long been infiltrated by Huben members.

The three signal officers on the towers

144
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,640
knew it wasn't Yan Fengshan,

145
00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:24,570
yet they raised the flags anyway,

146
00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:26,330
because

147
00:18:27,950 --> 00:18:29,200
they, too, were Huben members.

148
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,690
It is not hard to identify these people,

149
00:18:33,230 --> 00:18:34,380
but the key lies

Hidden Soldier Alley is empty.

153
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,750
Does it have another exit?

154
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,120
Residents of an entire ward,

155
00:18:50,750 --> 00:18:52,220

What matters

is that Yan Fengshan has returned.

If I die,

172

I owe you one life for Hidden Soldier Alley.

to lose Chang'an,

178
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:27,700
but I have never prepared

179
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,050
for Chang'an to lose Gu Yu.

180

You cannot die.

181

182
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,700
that when we meet again,

183
00:20:49,270 --> 00:20:50,570
I will see a Xie Huai'an

184
00:20:51,190 --> 00:20:52,660

185
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:54,380

At most two hours from now,

00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,260
the city will fall into chaos.

193
00:24:17,270 --> 00:24:18,220
You should leave.

194

00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,010
I owed her too much.

196
00:24:25,310 --> 00:24:26,050
At the very least,

197
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,610
I should see her off

198
00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:31,020
as family.

199
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:38,050
Don't worry.

200
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:40,570
I know every skill

201
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,090
the Huben guards use.

202
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:44,770
They cannot kill me.

203
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:50,500
What happened to her

204
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,150
matters deeply

205
00:24:54,150 --> 00:24:54,770
to me.

206
00:24:56,230 --> 00:24:57,460
It matters to us too.

207
00:24:58,840 --> 00:24:59,570
Huai'an, don't worry.

208
00:25:01,310 --> 00:25:02,130
I will

209
00:25:02,990 --> 00:25:03,660
keep him safe.

210
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,400
I will not let him

211
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,360
fall into Yan Fengshan's hands.

212
00:25:08,030 --> 00:25:09,170
Go do what you must.

213
00:25:24,710 --> 00:25:25,420
Thank you.

214
00:25:27,630 --> 00:25:28,460
Now go.

215
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:35,810
Use it for protection.

216
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:39,810
Huai'an,

217
00:25:40,790 --> 00:25:42,180
your white hair draws too much attention.

218
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:43,970
When you go out,

219
00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:45,290
wear a bamboo hat

220
00:25:45,710 --> 00:25:46,500
to cover it.

221
00:25:48,550 --> 00:25:49,180
Huai'an,

222
00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:51,290
you will come find us, right?

223
00:25:52,550 --> 00:25:53,750
Do not face

224
00:25:53,750 --> 00:25:54,520
Yan Fengshan alone.

225
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:56,570
When it's time to kill him,

226
00:25:59,510 --> 00:26:00,330
bring the two of us with you.

227
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,610
I have not finished this road yet.

228
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:04,460
Of course

229
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:06,700
I'll need you both.

230
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,020
There was a scholar

231
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:21,660
named Han Ziling.

232
00:26:22,790 --> 00:26:24,090
He asked me to give you

233
00:26:25,270 --> 00:26:26,020
this letter.

234
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,460
He said he had

235
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:29,700
long admired you.

236
00:26:30,750 --> 00:26:32,260
If anything happens to me,

237
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:35,370
please give this

238
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:37,290
to him.

239
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:42,680
Remember:

240
00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:45,290
do not fail the expectations

241
00:26:46,750 --> 00:26:48,420
of the scholars of this realm.

242
00:26:51,230 --> 00:26:51,770
Live.

243
00:26:55,790 --> 00:26:56,260
I will.

244
00:27:02,310 --> 00:27:02,920
Now go.

245
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,720
Why did you return to Chang'an?

246
00:28:10,310 --> 00:28:11,610
It was my fault.

247
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:22,750
It was my fault.

248
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:27,550
It was my fault.

249
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:42,980
Humans belong to heaven and earth.

250
00:28:44,470 --> 00:28:45,940
Our souls come from the clouds,

251
00:28:47,070 --> 00:28:48,420
our bodies return to the earth.

252
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,090
Heaven and earth leave traces on a person,

253
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,090
and those traces

254
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:58,850
can lead one back

255
00:29:01,030 --> 00:29:02,290
to where they once walked.

256
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,020
Mother,

257
00:29:49,070 --> 00:29:50,260
I did something bad!

258
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,020
Miss.

259
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:56,900
Oh dear.

260
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:58,180
I'm so sorry,

261
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,080
truly sorry.

262
00:29:59,270 --> 00:29:59,940
Look at what you did.

263
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:00,850
It's all right.

264
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:01,980
He didn't do it on purpose.

265
00:30:02,270 --> 00:30:03,330
I simply happened to pass by.

266
00:30:04,230 --> 00:30:05,660
Miss, I'm really sorry.

267
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:06,810
Why don't you

268
00:30:06,850 --> 00:30:08,560
come in and change into something clean?

269
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:09,980
We have

270
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,170
new clothes,

271
00:30:11,170 --> 00:30:11,700
all clean.

272
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:12,530
They should

273
00:30:12,710 --> 00:30:13,660
fit you well.

274
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:14,570
It's fine.

275
00:30:15,170 --> 00:30:15,980
I insist.

276
00:30:15,990 --> 00:30:17,090
It was my son's fault.

277
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:18,500
With your clothes dirty,

278
00:30:18,510 --> 00:30:19,360
you must be uncomfortable.

279
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,630
- Come on. - Thank you.

280
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,980
We don't have much food to offer.

281
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:26,370
Please make do.

282
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,130
I've been living on cold, plain food along the way.

283
00:30:29,310 --> 00:30:30,370
A bowl of hot noodles

284
00:30:30,550 --> 00:30:31,330
is more than wonderful.

285
00:30:33,790 --> 00:30:34,770
What is he doing at the door?

286
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,460
He's waiting for his father.

287
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,370
His father works as a ferryman in Nanwei Trough,

288
00:30:41,310 --> 00:30:42,810
30 or 40 li from here.

289
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,660
It's not easy for him to come back,

290
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,260
but whenever he can find someone to take his place,

291
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:49,980
even if it means walking a whole day and night,

292
00:30:50,710 --> 00:30:51,700
he'll come home to visit.

293
00:30:53,070 --> 00:30:54,290
Some spend their whole lives walking,

294
00:30:55,070 --> 00:30:56,420
just to make it home.

295
00:30:58,470 --> 00:30:59,370
You too, miss?

296
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,020
I've lived in Chang'an for years.

297
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:06,770
Now I miss home.

298
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,330
Your father and mother

299
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:11,900
must be longing for you too.

300
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:14,500
To be missed by family

301
00:31:14,990 --> 00:31:15,940
is a blessing.

302
00:31:19,070 --> 00:31:20,660
I think I've heard that...

303
00:31:22,310 --> 00:31:23,560
My husband once said

304
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,520
he had a ferryman companion.

305
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:26,980
The man said he fled

306
00:31:26,990 --> 00:31:28,520
to Nanwei Trough with his little sister.

307
00:31:29,260 --> 00:31:30,200
Then

308
00:31:30,830 --> 00:31:31,610
his sister

309
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,010
was taken in by a family,

310
00:31:33,510 --> 00:31:35,130
and he stayed behind,

311
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,070
working as a ferryman

312
00:31:37,270 --> 00:31:38,350
while watching over her.

313
00:31:39,070 --> 00:31:41,180
He kept watch for seven whole years.

314
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:43,840
I don't know what disaster

315
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:44,810
struck their family.

316
00:31:45,470 --> 00:31:46,770
His sister was right beside him,

317
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:47,660
yet they couldn't reunite.

318
00:31:48,470 --> 00:31:49,770
How bitter that must have been.

319
00:31:51,270 --> 00:31:52,580
That man also told my husband

320
00:31:52,750 --> 00:31:54,290
that having someone to worry about

321
00:31:54,470 --> 00:31:55,530
was a kind of blessing,

322
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:56,740
just like you said.

323
00:32:03,770 --> 00:32:04,740
Is that ferryman

324
00:32:05,750 --> 00:32:07,000
still in Nanwei Trough?

325
00:32:08,790 --> 00:32:09,570
No.

326
00:32:09,890 --> 00:32:11,130
My husband said something happened,

327
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:12,220
and he left.

328
00:32:13,710 --> 00:32:15,130
Let me light a lamp for my husband,

329
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:16,250
so he knows

330
00:32:16,790 --> 00:32:19,090
my son and I are thinking of him.

331
00:32:51,270 --> 00:32:51,940
Sir.

332
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,360
Miss, are you here to offer incense

333
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:56,410
or seek a divination?

334
00:32:58,470 --> 00:32:59,330
I came to ask

335
00:32:59,330 --> 00:33:00,570
for a naming slip.

336
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:03,890
Has a child been born at home?

337
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:05,770
Congratulations.

338
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:07,580
Is it a boy or a girl?

339
00:33:09,370 --> 00:33:10,410
Please, have a seat.

340
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:16,870
It's not for a child.

341
00:33:17,470 --> 00:33:18,610
It's for myself.

342
00:33:20,340 --> 00:33:21,920
No one asks for a naming slip

343
00:33:22,110 --> 00:33:23,600
at your age.

344
00:33:26,990 --> 00:33:28,530
My family suffered a disaster when I was little.

345
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,630
I was separated from a family member for many years.

346
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:34,770
Recently, I found him again.

347
00:33:35,790 --> 00:33:36,700
This naming slip

348
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,130
is to reclaim my true name

349
00:33:38,790 --> 00:33:39,810
and restore my ties with him.

350
00:33:44,710 --> 00:33:46,420
To spend half a lifetime adrift

351
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,850
and still find your family again

352
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:51,370
is no easy thing.

353
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:54,530
Fate parts people

354
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,180
but also brings them back together.

355
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,480
So, for this naming slip, I will write...

356
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:08,650
Do you still remember

357
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,780
your name after all these years?

358
00:34:13,150 --> 00:34:13,820
My family name is Liu.

359
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:16,860
I've carried this amulet

360
00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:19,130
for as long as I can remember.

361
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,820
I never understood its meaning,

362
00:34:23,110 --> 00:34:23,900
but now I do.

363
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,020
My given name is written on it.

364
00:34:29,700 --> 00:34:30,190
[Li]

365
00:34:30,190 --> 00:34:30,820
A single character:

366
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:32,500
Li.

367
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:42,420
Then for the blessing,

368
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,460
I will write:

369
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:47,570
"May you find home again

370
00:34:48,190 --> 00:34:49,780
and know lasting peace."

371
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:51,020
How does that sound?

372
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:53,780
Thank you, sir.

373
00:35:00,580 --> 00:35:05,300
[Liu Li: May you find home again and know lasting peace.]

374
00:35:05,300 --> 00:35:13,980
[Liu Li]

375
00:35:20,820 --> 00:35:22,900
[Bai Wan]

376
00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:25,420
[Liu Li]

377
00:35:32,030 --> 00:35:32,780
Liu Li,

378
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:35,500
so you

379
00:35:39,140 --> 00:35:41,570
came back to reunite with me?

380
00:35:54,420 --> 00:35:57,540
[Liu Li]

381
00:36:36,070 --> 00:36:37,780
Take care. Goodbye.

382
00:36:38,820 --> 00:36:42,780
[Chen Zhiying of the Huben Army]

383
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,050
Can you promise that?

384
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:11,890
Of course I can.

385
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,500
Then will you write to me

386
00:37:13,510 --> 00:37:14,570
to tell me you're safe?

387
00:37:15,630 --> 00:37:17,020
Wherever you go,

00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:18,650
write to me every year,

389
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:20,300
so I know

390
00:37:20,630 --> 00:37:22,090
you're safe.

391
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:24,900
She's your sister,

392
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:26,650
yet you let her reunite with another family.

393
00:37:27,630 --> 00:37:28,860
You've been a ferryman here

394
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:30,860
for seven years, three li from her home,

395
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,300
just to protect her from afar.

396
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:35,210
How long can you keep this up?

397
00:37:36,670 --> 00:37:37,420
I don't know.

398
00:37:39,590 --> 00:37:40,570
I only hope

399
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:43,650
she never remembers her past.

400
00:37:58,470 --> 00:37:59,090
That night,

401
00:38:00,350 --> 00:38:01,570
I hid behind the wall

402
00:38:02,670 --> 00:38:04,340
and saw someone feeding you soup.

403
00:38:05,590 --> 00:38:06,590
You were

404
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,250
surrounded by people

405
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:11,570
who cared for you.

406
00:38:13,110 --> 00:38:14,250
At that moment,

407
00:38:14,690 --> 00:38:17,210
I decided to leave you with that family.

408
00:38:18,510 --> 00:38:19,340
I thought

409
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,580
that if I was careful enough,

410
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,020
you would live a safe life.

411
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:32,980
Liu Li,

412
00:38:36,030 --> 00:38:37,570
I was wrong.

413
00:38:40,110 --> 00:38:41,090
When the time comes, I will reunite

414
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:43,730
with you, Father, and Mother.

415
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:46,530
The four of us

416
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:50,500
will be together again.

[Incense]

418
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:22,780
Is it

419
00:39:23,240 --> 00:39:23,820
a funeral?

420
00:39:26,990 --> 00:39:28,090
The whole city is under martial law,

421
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:29,340
killings everywhere.

422
00:39:29,670 --> 00:39:32,170
Even the city gates have changed hands several times.

423
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:33,250
And you...

424
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,780
You have to go through this on the very day

425
00:39:37,070 --> 00:39:38,250
the court is thrown into chaos.

426
00:39:40,070 --> 00:39:41,470
Everyone suffers.

427
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,530
Everyone suffers!

please come in.

430
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:51,730
Do you need a memorial tablet made?

431
00:39:57,990 --> 00:39:58,860
Who

432
00:39:59,510 --> 00:40:00,210
is it for?

433
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:01,050
What should it say?

434
00:40:05,670 --> 00:40:06,380
It is

435
00:40:08,470 --> 00:40:09,530
for my late sister, Liu Li.

439
00:41:25,550 --> 00:41:26,650
In this courtyard,

440
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,560
I can almost see the traces of my old friends.

441
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,620
When you have time, ask around at the brokerages.

442
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:34,420
If it can be bought,

443
00:41:35,030 --> 00:41:36,170
buy this place.

444
00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:38,090
It is indeed a fine courtyard.

445
00:41:39,150 --> 00:41:40,460
Convenient for cooking.

446
00:41:41,670 --> 00:41:43,300
I will go to the brokers tomorrow.

General...

448
00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:34,570
The Liu family's child is buried here.

449
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:36,420
From this day on,

we have taken the Imperial City.

454
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:46,340
But

455
00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:47,650
the 400 men we first sent

456
00:42:47,670 --> 00:42:48,680
to assassinate Xiao Wuyang

457
00:42:49,110 --> 00:42:49,820

458
00:42:50,590 --> 00:42:52,250
We found no trace of him.

459
00:42:57,550 --> 00:42:58,170
What about Gu Yu?

460
00:42:58,510 --> 00:42:59,460
Gu Yu led

461
00:42:59,470 --> 00:43:00,340
two 100-man Baiwenhu units

462
00:43:00,550 --> 00:43:01,650
and tried to enter the Imperial City.

463
00:43:02,030 --> 00:43:02,860
We surrounded them.

464
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:04,420
His men fought desperately

465
00:43:04,420 --> 00:43:05,420
to break him out.

466
00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:07,210
By the time they reached Yongchang Ward,

467
00:43:07,510 --> 00:43:08,610
all the Baiwenhu soldiers had fallen,

468
00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:09,780
and Gu Yu

469
00:43:10,630 --> 00:43:11,420
disappeared.

470
00:43:12,470 --> 00:43:14,530

472

of Jingzhao Prefecture.

474
00:43:21,030 --> 00:43:22,420
Both of them are injured.

475
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:23,690
If they want to hide,

476
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:25,860
it can only be within this area.

477
00:43:26,630 --> 00:43:27,650

the armies of the four regional commanders

485
00:43:45,150 --> 00:43:45,940
set out ahead of schedule

486
00:43:46,550 --> 00:43:48,500
and have now arrived near Chang'an.

487
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:50,210

and have kept them in check.

490
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,050
Then that leaves

only the north.
