Wonderland of Love

There're 18 bends on the Laolan River,

Laolan Pass There're 18 bends on the Laolan River,

There're 18 bends on the Laolan River,

and the first is the Silver Pines.

At Silver Pines...

Duty shift.

The fish are fat.

Pancakes are ready, guys.

Bao Scout of the West-Pacifying Army Pancakes are ready, guys.

Bao Scout of the West-Pacifying Army

Drink some water first. Bao Scout of the West-Pacifying Army

Drink some water first.

Get more.

Easy, easy.

There's plenty for everyone.

There's plenty.

Is it good?

- Great! - Nice!

Bao,

you copied my pancake recipe,

but you didn't leave me one, right?

Just eat.

Li Ni Commander of the West-Pacifying Army Just eat.

Li Ni Commander of the West-Pacifying Army

You talk too much. Li Ni Commander of the West-Pacifying Army

You talk too much.

Here.

Well, well.

Don't try to shut me up with this.

Back in the kitchen,

Du was complaining,

saying that a bag of

fine flour is missing.

That was delivered

from the palace

to make pastry for the 17th royal grandson.

How dare you steel that?

Don't talk nonsense.

I just grabbed a handful

when there was no one.

No matter how much you grabbed,

it's stealing.

Military grain theft is a high crime.

Do you deny it?

But it belongs to

the 17th royal grandson.

He once said,

no royalty in the army.

We'll share blessings

and hardships.

And he eats

the same as we do.

Right, guys?

- Yeah. - Right.

Sure.

Incoming!

Hurry! Quick!

Quick!

The bow.

Knock.

It's the West-Pacifying Army

led by General Pei Xian.

It's not the Tattoo-punished Rebels.

They're not enemies.

It's our great army!

Your Highness.

Uncle Pei.

three days ago,

Wanxi Region received an urgent report.

His Majesty

was murdered by Sun Jing, the traitor,

Pei Xian General of West-Pacifying Army was murdered by Sun Jing, the traitor,

Pei Xian General of West-Pacifying Army

on the Longevity Banquet. Pei Xian General of West-Pacifying Army

on the Longevity Banquet.

His Majesty has passed away.

The traitors incited rebellion among the Imperial Guards,

and they slaughtered the city.

The Crown Prince also died for the empire.

Other lords, princes, and grandsons were all killed.

Princesses and concubines suffered numerous casualties.

General Han Chang saved the crown prince's son,

he fought a bloody path

and escaped from the Capital.

But they were separated by the rebels,

and we've heard nothing from them.

What about my father?

Lord of Liang didn't enter the palace due to illness

and he survived.

But he's now held hostage by the rebels.

Your Highness,

all the other Lords are murdered,

only the lineage of Liang survives.

Thus the West-Pacifying Army has decided

to crown Lord of Liang as our emperor,

and Your Highness, the Crown Prince.

So we can assemble armies to rescue the crown.

Your Highness, we wait for your orders.

General Pei,

I cannot grant your request.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

The crown prince's son is still missing,

he may still have a chance to live.

Now the emperor and the crown prince is dead,

he should inherit the crown.

Even if he's still alive,

he is just

an eight-year-old child.

He is merely the firstborn to the crown prince,

and he hasn't been crowned yet.

Now wars are breaking out everywhere.

The Empire is at

a critical moment of life and death.

We cannot

let a baby who knows nothing

be our Emperor.

General Pei,

he is intelligent

and the firstborn.

So he has right to the crown.

Besides,

my father is a hostage to Sun Jing.

If I were to be the prince regent,

we'd place my father

in a scorching dilemma.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Li Ni, the 17th royal grandson,

led the West-Pacifying Army

marching south from the Laolan Pass.

They turned to the Western Capital to repress rebels,

trying to rescue the Lord of Liang

and restoring the Yu Empire.

Meanwhile,

Cui Yi, the general of Pingliang,

ordered his only son Cui Lin

to lead the Cui's Army out of the Ying Prefecture,

marching straight to the Capital

to kill Sun Jing and seize the crown.

When the two armies meet,

which one can overwhelm the other

and bring peace back?

Episode 1

Dew Pavilion

Yue, a music player of Dew Pavilion

Even you dad won't recognize you.

Will this work?

Pei Yuan General of the West-Pacifying Army

You are indeed the best scout

in the whole Laolan Pass,

Ni.

And it's so you

to come in person

to catch Pi Si.

Pei Yuan,

being a commander is troublesome.

I'm just here to catch somebody,

but your father

believes that

I would be caught.

Come on,

you're the commander of the whole army now.

My dad was just afraid that you'd be in trouble.

Yeah.

I want to fight back to the capital,

kill that traitor,

rescue my father, greet the crown prince's son,

and restore our Yu Empire.

Great.

And then?

Then I can go back to Laolan Pass,

free from worries.

When there's no war,

isn't it nice to hunt gazelles?

I knew it.

You just want to go back there.

It's such a wonderful place.

The gazelles

Bao roasted were nice.

Just thinking abut the smell

makes me hungry.

Hungry.

We're really hungry.

Ni,

now the whole army

is starving.

Now only the injured

can have two meals a day.

If we can't

secure our supplies,

forget about the capital,

our army

would starve to death.

So no matter what,

we must do everything

to catch Pi Si.

So we can rob the provision

he's escorting for Sun Jing.

Commandant,

we're ready.

Just wait Pi Si to fall into our trap.

Shu the Guard in the Cui's Army

Commandant Ho of the Cui's Army

Let's go. Commandant Ho of the Cui's Army

Commandant Ho of the Cui's Army

Yue, I'm coming.

Pi is here.

I'll go inside to catch him.

You go back and tell Pei Yuan

to fuss around in the hall

to buy us more time.

- Lovely. - Nice.

- Amazing! - Good. - Lovely.

- Beautiful. - Nice.

Lady Yue,

you play it so well.

Hands off.

You scoundrel,

how dare you to hold her hand?

Let go.

You're a freaking scoundrel.

I'm buying her a drink,

does it concern you?

Dear guests,

Lady Yue only plays tunes...

You freaking nuts.

Please don't.

Dear guests...

What's going on?

What's up?

Please don't!

Stop fighting!

Lady? Lady?

Why is Yue not back yet?

Such tunes are for the gods above,

Pi Si Grain Merchant Such tunes are for the gods above,

Pi Si Grain Merchant

how many times could we mortals hear them?

Yue,

I came all the way here

to enjoy your tunes

and it's worth the trip.

I'd like to give this to you.

It's so corny. She won't like it.

Indeed.

Yue,

but you'd like this, right?

Yue?

You're here?

Yue, I've been waiting.

Lady, please don't be mad.

Yue, what's going on?

What happened?

Yue, what's wrong?

What happened?

Sir.

Dear guests, please stay.

All the guests

are enjoying the tunes in the hall.

Should you need anything,

please

just let me know.

Yu San Sun Jing's subordinate just let me know.

Yu San Sun Jing's subordinate

Where's Pi Si? Yu San Sun Jing's subordinate

Where's Pi Si?

Pi...

You're both our guests.

But you want to inquire about the other.

Well...

Please forgive me for not telling you.

We are serving the general Guo Zhi.

Can you afford

to delay our affairs?

Yue, the performer,

where is she?

This is

what I've prepared for you.

A flawless jade for a fair beauty.

Yue,

I came here today

and I've waited so long.

I just want to hear

your tunes for me only.

What are you doing?

You let him in without permission.

Aren't you

afraid of getting beaten?

It's fine.

Don't scold the servants.

I sneaked in on my own.

Yue,

please don't be mad, okay?

Next time,

I'll bring you more gifts,

is that okay?

Drink water.

Yue,

you're actually hiding someone here?

Two men at once?

Don't get it wrong.

We came here

by accident.

Sorry for the troubles.

Shameless!

Get out of my room now!

Yes.

I knew you're not like that.

Change the water,

and get him out.

- Yes. - Sure.

Sorry I wronged you.

- Come, get up. - Yue.

- Don't pull me. - Yue.

Get out.

Don't drive me away.

- Pi Si! - Yue.

Get out.

How dare you sneak out of the posthouse

and come here?

Take him back.

Yes.

You know who I am?

Let go of me.

Let go.

Who are you?

It's a peaceful courtyard,

why would a woman come here?

Who said I'm a woman?

Slim feet,

thin waist,

and slip shoulders.

You are definitely a woman.

Commandant.

Let's go.

Are you fine?

Commandant,

are you injured?

No.

Who was that man?

He defeated four men on his own.

Could he be a warrior of Sun Jing?

No.

Though he used a knife,

he actually applied swordsmanship,

and he wielded it in a magnificent way,

like thunder and storm.

It seems like the secret techniques

of General Pei Xian.

Rumor has it

that General Pei

used to train the royal princes.

Could it be...

The royal Lis are mediocre.

I've never heard of

any of their descendants

is a man of capacity.

It's even less likely for them to use a sword well.

This man

is probably a direct descendant of the Pei's family.

Who are they exactly?

It's really tricky.

Could it be

Sun Jing's guards?

No.

They're not Sun's guards,

and they're not in Guo Zhi's army.

They're the Cui's Army.

It's the Cui's family.

The Cui's family?

They have been governing Pingliang,

why would they show up here?

Sun plotted treason and slayed the emperor,

so the Cui's Army left the Ying Prefecture,

claiming to rescue the crown.

Now the Empire is at war,

they must

be up to something.

A few months ago,

the Cui's family

claimed to rescue the crown

but occupied many cities.

Apart from our West-Pacifying Army

and Sun Jing's army,

the Cui's Army

is the mightiest.

I just didn't expect that they

dare to reach so far

that they're in the City Wang so soon.

Ni,

they're like us.

They sneaked into the city, too.

Maybe we should take the chance...

No.

The Cui's Army

claims to rescue the Crown.

Since they claimed so,

we should first show some manners.

Let's see how they rescue the crown.

Commandant, dinner's ready.

It's a pity we failed

to catch that grain dealer,

Pi Si.

You're truly prophetic.

You knew the West-pacifying Army lacks food,

and they

might try to rob Pi Si.

But I didn't expect

that Peis

would come so fast.

Pei Xian, the general of the West-PacifNing Army,

made Li Ni, the so-called royal grandson,

be the commander

to order all the troops to rescue the crown.

I think Pei Xian just uses

Li Ni to cover

his real aim,

namely to control

all the courtiers.

Pei Xian was a close friend

of our general.

We can't underestimate him.

Without the provision,

even if Pei Xian is brave,

his army cannot move a bit.

Cui's army

is fighting against us for this batch of provision.

Our plan

was ruined by them.

What shall we do then?

Right, Ni,

when we left,

Pi Si was taken

away By Guo Zhi

and imprisoned.

Isn't Pi Si eager to

enter Dew Pavilion?

Why don't we help him?

Tomorrow,

let's play a big show.

Commandant,

what's our next plan?

I think we can use

the one of Dew Pavilion.

Commandant.

Come in.

Mister Cui sent a letter.

Any news of the great-grandson?

No.

Commandant,

if there is any,

mister Cui would mark

on the letter.

Send more people

to find the great-grandson ASAP.

Don't let others find him before us.

Only if we find him early,

can our Cui's Army act

in the name of royal blood.

By then,

Pei Xian's cover,

Li Ni,

will become a joke.

Yes.

When I was in Ying Prefecture, I said

that Lis are incapable

and muddleheaded.

They will lose the country sooner or later.

The offspring of Li knows nothing

but having fun.

No one is capable of this great task.

That's why commandant asked the general

and mister Cui to lead the army

and depart from Ying Prefecture.

Since they can fight for the throne,

why can't we?

To ensure that the people

can live in peace,

I'm afraid

that our Cui's army is their only hope.

Wang Prefecture's map?

Still thinking about it?

If we can get City Wang,

the provision won't be a big problem for us.

Come on, have a rest.

I've arranged well

about the guards.

How about this?

I will be on duty inside for the first half of the night,

then

let Bao take over.

Forget it.

Chang'er, you are injured.

Let me be on duty.

Ni,

how about I sleep with you tonight?

Forget it.

You don't wash your feet often.

I won't be able to

sleep well as they are smelly.

You...

You are so troublesome.

You wash your feet everyday.

Chang'er, smell it,

see if it stinks.

Come out.

Don't think I didn't see you.

You again.

Give it to me.

Give me back.

What's it?

You mean this?

Where is my bead?

Give me back.

You are

way too cruel.

Wait.

Pei,

I know the great-grandson's whereabouts.

How do you know it?

Are you one of Cuis?

Why should I tell you that?

Where's he?

Why dose he take

so long to wash his feet?

Ni.

Ni.

Bao, I'm here.

Bao, I'm here.

Ni.

How did you fall into a well?

I... I'll help you get out of there.

Hang on.

Are you alright, Ni?

Didn't you go to wash your feet?

Why were you in the well?

I tried to rescue a wild cat,

but it scratched me.

I fell into the well by accident.

It's a wild and ungrateful

creature.

Why did you try to save it?

Yes.

It's indeed wild, untamable,

and cunning.

Cunning?

I'll go get changed.

Okay.

Yue.

Look what I've brought.

to you.

Yue.

Steamed buns of Dehua Tavern.

They are still warm.

I just bought them.

Thanks.

And this Golden Osmanthus,

with some fruits,

can be boiled to make fruit tea.

Fruit tea?

Yue,

you have no idea

it was so hard for me to run away

just to buy these for you.

If I didn't buy over

the soldier of general Guo,

I wouldn't have...

Did you have breakfast?

Yue,

did you just ask me

if I had the breakfast?

Yue,

are you caring about me?

Why don't you join me then?

I can make some fruit tea.

Okay.

Who are you?

No entry.

Step aside.

Step aside.

Where is Pi Si?

Where did you hide him?

Take him out.

Hurry.

It's said that lady Qu

can play Pipa so well.

But I think

you are way too better than her.

Your delicate hands...

We've got some trouble.

A group of men

who look so fierce

sent by Mrs. Pi

to look for Mister Pi Si everywhere.

Well... This...

To think that hellcat

sent people to here.

Wait,

they will

recognize you if you go out now.

Why don't you

get changed and leave?

Who are you?

Who allowed you to tie me up?

Were you sent by

that hellcat?

Let me go.

Stop looking.

Her Ladyship will call the official

to confiscate your Dew Pavilion.

I will divorce her.

Let me go, let go.

You bitch.

Let me go.

What's wrong with you?

Who sent you?

Let go of me.

Just go.

Let go.

Let go.

Pi Si,

her ladyship said that you lied to her.

You said you left

to sell the provision to the rebels.

But actually you went to the Dew Pavilion

to have fun.

Her ladyship asked me to break

your teeth once I see you.

Axe.

No...

Please spare me.

I didn't lie to her.

I didn't.

Trust me.

Her ladyship said

that she could listen

to your explanation.

No...

You wronged me.

I did sell the provision for general Guo.

I didn't lie to her.

I just happened to

pass by the Dew Pavilion

and entered it.

Nonsense.

Open his mouth.

Really.

I mean it.

I have the token which given by general Guo

in person,

the token for provision.

I dared not lie to her.

I really went to sell the provision.

Where is it?

In the bag of my waist.

In the bag.

Nothing there.

No way.

No way.

It is in the bag.

- Nonsense. - No...

No way.

You don't have it at all.

I didn't lie to you.

You lied to us?

I really have it.

Tear his mouth.

It's true.

I really have it.

I don't know

where it is.

Please reply to your master

that I didn't fail him.

This is your indenture

I promised to redeem.

Ni,

this Pi Si

seemed to tell the truth.

He doesn't know

how he lost the token.

So Cuis were faster than us

to get it.

I thought I could get the token

with this plan.

I didn't

expect that we did it in vain.

But it's okay,

Pi Si is

in our hands.

And we learned the provision's whereabouts.

Take him there quickly, it's still possible

to obtain the provision.

Thousands of our people are nearby

to reinforce us.

It's too late.

What?

If I were a Cui,

I'd take my people

to pretend to be the garrison of Wang Prefecture

and went out of the city

to get the provision aboveboard.

Following the order of general Guo,

we came for the provision.

We focused on the trees that we can't see the forest.

We were late.

What to do now?

We can't let Cui's Army

to take advantage of it.

What you lose on the swings you gain on the roundabouts.

Since Sun Jing rebelled,

Cui's Army

always took advantage of it.

This time,

it's our turn.

Good-for-nothing.

How could you fail

to watch the grain dealer?

I didn't expect

that Pi Si would be

taken away openly.

I've killed

the related soldiers.

Please

punish me based on the rule.

Guo Zhi, the chief of Wang Prefecture under Sun Jing punish me based on the rule.

Guo Zhi, the chief of Wang Prefecture under Sun Jing

I don't have the time Guo Zhi, the chief of Wang Prefecture under Sun Jing

Guo Zhi, the chief of Wang Prefecture under Sun Jing

to chop your head now. Guo Zhi, the chief of Wang Prefecture under Sun Jing

Guo Zhi, the chief of Wang Prefecture under Sun Jing

Convey my order,

go obtain the provision.

Commandant.

How's it?

Although we took a detour on purpose

to avoid Guo Zhi,

we only have

300 people nearby.

Now 100 people

are with us.

Only 200 entered Wang Prefecture.

Will it be okay?

Once Guo Zhi knows that something goes wrong,

he must be anxious

and lead the army to obtain the provision.

In this case,

guards in the city won't be too many.

Our 200 people

can take the chance

to kill them surprisingly.

When we returned to the city,

just shut the gate.

And mister Cui's army is on the way.

So we

will win this round.

General Pei,

our thousands of soldiers

are getting close to the gate.

Take our bros

to take advantage of it.

General,

two hours ago,

some soldiers came

with the token

and took the provision away.

I've checked it clearly.

The token was right.

So I handed over the provision.

These cunning rebels.

Go chase them.

Ni,

do you think Cui's Army

will come to us?

They are wanted by the army.

So they have to

accept our quote.

Later,

I will let her

jump into a well

and stay inside for a while.

Jump into the well?

Why?

Commandant, what to do?

Guo Zhi led the army here.

We have the provision,

they won't want us

to be caught by their enemies.

So now,

he's waiting for us to beg him.

Then he will

offer a mean condition.

Commandant, it's time.

Or Guo Zhi will fight us.

Commandant, the army is here.

It's our Cui's Army!

It's mister Cui.

Mister Cui came to reinforce us.

Let's go.
