[Episode 51]

4

If you weren't working for First Princess,

5

you would be an excellent musician.

6

I would like to become a musician too, but

7

I live in a chaotic time.

8

What First Princess has ordered,

9

I have to obey and do a good job. Sorry.

10

Uncle, are you alright?

11

I sent off so many pigeons. I thought you couldn't find me.

12

When we arrived at the salt shop, the pigeons were everywhere.

13

Let's not talk about that. We should hurry and leave. Let's go!

14

Charge!

15

Oh no, it's a signal arrow. They are calling for the troops to get here.

16

So it's him!

17

- You know him, Uncle?

- He's an old acquaintance.

18

But he is now First Princess's running dog.

19

I don't care who he is. Let's fight first!

20

Ji Ye.

21

As Chief Leader, you must stay calm.

22

We can't stay here, must find a way to get out of here.

23

Come.

24

Go!

25

Charge!

26

Let's go!

27

I'm sure everyone

28

understands why we are here today.

29

How will we defend the dual attacks from both the cold winter and White Wolves?

30

What does everyone think?

31

Fortify our defense line from Sha Le Ranch to North Capital.

32

White Wolves can appear anywhere along that line.

33

We don't have enough provisions and horses now.

34

We can only defend.

35

Tukele, Heludin, I'll entrust North Capital's defense for your two clans to arrange.

36

We haven't acknowledged you as new Emperor yet.

37

How is it Eldest Prince is already issuing orders?

38

As I see it, the main topic of today's Kulige Conference

39

is not about defending from White Wolves, but

40

about confirming our rightful Emperor.

41

Everyone, this is an unusual time. Do you really want to see Qingyang in chaos?

42

Asule, you left the grasslands for too long a time.

43

You've probably forgotten the law on the grasslands.

44

On the grasslands, only the true Emperor can command all the troops.

45

As we get closer to the critical time,

46

we really need an Emperor that everyone will consent to obey.

47

Third Brother, when you see you are further away from the Emperor's throne,

48

are you feeling hasty?

49

Don't think that I don't know who these Chiefs are secretly clamoring for.

50

If Shuobei wasn't crouching in wait, we wouldn't be talking about anything else.

51

Let's find out who our treasonous moles are.

52

Eldest Brother now sits in the Great Hall.

53

Does that allow you to kill Father's loyal counselors at will?

54

Don't make wild accusations and spew nonsense!

55

Giddy up.

56

King...

57

King Gold!

58

I sure am.

59

I am Shuobei King of Wolves' son, Hutuluhan.

60

I came today to tell you, who are like the lambs of Qingyang.

61

My father, Monlehouer,

62

is leading tens of thousands of Wolf Calvary and approaching North Capital.

63

He can wave his hand,

64

and the entire Han Province will be trampled.

65

We have seen your bravery.

66

Great Khan, you came to our Kulige Conference,

67

are you only here to enjoy talking down at us?

68

Are you Lu Song's youngest son, Lu Guichen, Asule Pasuer?

69

Yes.

70

You are actually my nephew.

71

My pitiable sister married into Qingyang,

72

and never lived a good day from then on.

73

I really miss her.

74

Your eldest brother has grabbed the Emperor's seat.

75

You still assist him in strategy planning?

76

Before he died, my Father designated Eldest Brother as the new Emperor.

77

I don't have any disagreement.

78

I also don't wish to see anyone overthrow Father's decision.

79

Too bad.

80

You are totally devoted to maintain your father's legacy, but everyone else here

81

each has an ulterior motive. Pasuer family's youngest son,

82

your Kulige Conference will end with nothing of value.

83

I am giving Qingyang a last chance.

84

Surrender to Shuobei and negotiate for peace.

85

Don't be hasty in answering me.

86

It's rare that you have all gotten together to meet.

87

Discuss things well.

88

Remember, don't test wolves' patience.

89

Otherwise, you will be met with the cruelest destruction.

90

Eldest Prince, I think it's alright to negotiate peace with Shuobei.

91

I think so too.

92

We are not equipped to fight with Shuobei now.

93

Emperor, you will make the final decision.

94

But I think staying alive

95

is the harshest challenge we are facing now.

96

Fight or negotiate, we should have an idea.

97

Although Monlehouer is old,

98

his Wolf Calvary can still defeat all of our clans.

99

I think we have room to negotiate.

100

Yes, especially King Gold

101

also controls the gold mine in the north.

102

He uses gold to exchange for quality weaponry with Eastland.

103

If we really fight,

104

he will exact cruel revenge against

105

clans that support Qingyang.

106

At this time, we can't bump head to head and fight a hard war.

107

What everyone has said

108

makes sense.

109

But we don't know what Huduluhan has said is real or not.

110

If we really want to negotiate for peace,

111

but they are just lying to us, what do we do?

112

We need a suitable envoy to negotiate with them.

113

If we can stop this war,

114

I am willing to go see Monlehouer.

115

Asule, this will be very dangerous.

116

Eldest Brother,

117

compared to Qingyang's safety,

118

this is nothing.

119

That's right, it's best for Eldest Prince to go.

120

He is Monlehouer's grandson.

121

Asule,

122

you are a child that Qingyang is proud of.

123

You are worthy of the ancient bloodline of the Pasuer family.

124

Alright.

125

I designate you to go to Shoubei for the accord,

126

representing Qingyang's Emperor, to negotiate with the King of Wolves.

127

I will do my utmost

128

so as not to disappoint your trust in me.

129

Come eat.

130

Lamb shanks!

131

How can the Emperor

132

make you go to Shuobei when you've just come back?

133

Those wolves eat people.

134

Mama, I volunteered to go.

135

The other nobles wouldn't help on this matter.

136

They want to see the Pasuer family fail.

137

If I don't stand up to help Eldest Brother,

138

who else can he ask for help?

139

You two need to take good care of him, Do you hear?

140

- Don't worry.

- Don't worry, Mama.

141

With the two of us, the wolves will fear us.

142

Asule.

143

Suma.

144

Queen.

145

Tieyan, Tieye, come out with me.

146

Alright.

147

When do you leave?

148

I will leave right after I eat.

149

Don't you want to talk it over with Emperor again?

150

This will be a dangerous journey.

151

I asked Eldest Brother to do this.

152

I don't want to see my home trampled by the wolves so soon after I just returned home.

153

It still shouldn't be you who goes.They know you won't refuse...

154

Suma,

155

I don't feel any unfairness as long as it's for Qingyang.

156

Don't worry, I will come back safely.

157

[Capital, Revelation City]

158

What's the matter? Are you thinking of going off by yourself and your spear to seek your future in the world?

159

I was on guard duty at Revelation City for a month,

160

but I never discovered that this city is so large.

161

This is but one city.

162

I don't know how big Eastland is.

163

How big is Eastland?

164

How big is the entire Nine Provinces?

165

I saw you for the first time at the drilling field.

166

You were holding this spear.

167

At that time, I could tell the drilling field was too small for you.

168

So was South Huai City.

169

Remember what you said when you went to Yiufeng Pond one day to look for me?

170

I remember.

171

I said that I wanted to gain a title as a general or a noble,

172

because I didn't want to die without anyone remembering me.

173

At that time,

174

I didn't want to follow behind someone's horse and be looked down upon.

175

I only wanted to prove myself

176

to everyone that I was stronger than all of them.

177

You've done it.

178

Now all the Heavenly Samurai in Eastland will remember your name,

179

just like they remembered the Crown Prince's name.

180

I remember Asule also said, "I will protect you."

181

After going through so many perils with him, I've gradually realized

182

the true meaning of that phrase.

183

A Samurai

184

shouldn't just know putting on the armor and killing enemies.

185

It's true that those we killed were enemies.

186

But originally

187

we didn't have to be enemies.

188

A truly good Samurai

189

must be able to protect a city,

190

and protect

191

all the living souls in that city.

192

Do you know?

193

I used to think you and Crown Prince were different.

194

I even worried that you weren't able to bear the responsibility of this ring.

195

But now, I can entrust the future of Heavenly Samurai

196

to you without worries.

197

Teacher,

198

do you really think that I can do it?

199

Based on what you talked about just now,

200

I believe you can.

201

My friend and I used to sit here and chat, too.

202

We used to think about galloping around the world,

203

and win the world with our horses and swords.

204

But, it's a different time and different world now.

205

The future belongs to you and your friends.

206

Asule and I promised each other

207

that we will meet again.

208

I hope, at that time, the Nine Provinces won't be at war anymore.

209

Let's take it a step at a time.

210

To have peace in Eastland,

211

we have to eliminate all the evils in Revelation City.

212

Find a place to take a break and recoup for a few days.

213

Our friends will arrive soon.

214

Teacher, do you mean General Bai Yi?

215

He likes to be late,

216

but now that he has someone to protect,

217

I think he won't be too late this time.

218

[Shuobei, King of Wolves' Base]

219

Go in. Close it.

220

A lamb has come to the lair of wolves.

221

It appears that our grasslands is never short of preys.

222

King of Wolves,

223

I represent Emperor of Qingyang to pay you a sincere greeting.

224

The Emperor sent me here this time

225

to talk peace with Shuobei.

226

Asule,

227

do you know why I want you to stand here?

228

You are facing your mother's grave.

229

What's flowing inside you

230

is Shubei's blood.

231

Do you rather stay as a dog for Qingyang?

232

King of Wolves,

233

I was born in Qingyang, and Qingyang is my home.

234

I brought with me this time all the clans' joint wish for peace.

235

I hope that you will consider our wish.

236

Qingyang was the first to break the rules.

237

It was also Qingyang that drove us to the extreme coldness of northern wilderness.

238

And now, it's only natural that Shuobei's wolves go back to their home.

239

We don't need anyone's approval.

240

Besides, there is no leader in Han Province now.

241

Lu Shouyu obtained the throne through improper means.

242

He can't be the Emperor of grasslands.

243

Then, do you think there is a better way?

244

There is.

245

Submit Lu Shouyu's head,

246

give us all the women of Qingyang,

247

surrender to us and subjugate to Shoubei.

248

Then,

249

Qingyang's men can stay alive.

250

King of Wolves,

251

this is not a condition.

252

It is our condition.

253

Compared to the condition Qingyang gave to Shuobei and Zhengyan,

254

it's actually better.

255

Asule, half of your bloodline is from Shuobei.

256

You don't need to sacrifice yourself for Qingyang.

257

I understand now.

258

Asule.

259

Since you are my grandson,

260

I have something to remind you.

261

Please tell me, King of Wolves.

262

Qingyang's defeat is definite.

263

Even without Shuobei,

264

it will decay from the inside

265

and gradually become rotten and cankerous.

266

What do you mean by that?

267

Do you remember how Muli died?

268

Why did we know so accurately about their raid's location

269

and timing?

270

You mean, there is really a mole inside Qingyang?

271

Your closest friend

272

could also be the sharpest blade

273

that can directly pierce your heart.

274

Go, child.

275

This is the end of my advice to you.

276

Someday you will understand my thoughtful concerns

277

and ask to become a wolf of Shuobei.

278

That day will never come.

279

I see incomprehension and anger on your face.

280

How is this possible?

281

Why are you still alive?

282

I love white snow and grasslands.

283

You seem to still be struggling in common pains, right?

284

I already told you.

285

I am invincible.

286

No, I've killed you before.

287

I saw with my own eyes how you fell and struggled in a pool of blood.

288

You appear again, I'll kill you again.

289

I won't let anyone get anything at will in my homeland.

290

He finally looks a little like our clan's little wolf.

291

Are you saying, none of the clans is willing to send help?

292

They all say the snowstorm is too strong, and their backup troops can't get in.

293

Lanma clan even says that God Panda has condemned Qingyang with a catastrophe,

294

and wanted Qingyang to endure it.

295

Rise.

296

No matter what, this information must not be spread out.

297

Qingyang must not be in chaos. Go out and tell them.

298

Just say that Lanma, Jiunan, and Shachi clans will all send reinforcement troop.

299

Yes.

300

Lord Nayan is back.

301

Greetings, Emperor.

302

Asule, it's good that you are back.

303

What conditions did Louyan Menglehuor bring up?

304

I am willing to assist Your Majesty to fight Shuobei and protect Qingyang.

305

Lanma, Jiunan, and Shachi will all send reinforcement troops.

306

When those troops show up, the Shuobei wolf bandits will retreat.

307

Of course. How many people are there in Shuobei?

308

With our four units joining forces,

309

we can fight them.

310

Mother, this is great.

311

Spring is here. There won't be any wolves.

312

We can graze herds again.

313

- Are you happy?

- Yes.

314

Go and play.

315

- Watch your safety. Slow down.

- Okay.

316

Stop, people of Shuobei. You are a thief.

317

I'm not from Shuobei. You are the thief instead.

318

Stop there. Don't run.

319

Stop there.

320

Lord Nayan, you have already tried your best.

321

Don't worry. We will fight together with you.

322

But they are being bullied.

323

But even if you tell them, it wouldn't do any good.

324

Lord Nayan is back.

325

Lord Nayan is back.

326

Lord Nayan just came back and defeated the leader of the wolves.

327

With him here, we will definitely defeat Shuobei.

328

What did you say? I defeated the leader of the wolves?

329

Near the Tai Le River.

330

You charged out alone

331

- and defeated the leader of the wolves and even rescued General Muli.

- That's because...

332

Let's follow Lord Nayan and defeat Shuobei.

333

Follow Lord Nayan and defeat Shuobei!

334

Follow Lord Nayan and defeat Shuobei!

335

During this time, add extra security atop the city walls.

336

Older Brother.

337

Leave now.

338

Asule, why are you here?

339

Older Brother, do you believe that I can lead the army?

340

Get up and talk.

341

You want to lead the army?

342

I'm already an adult.

343

I'm a man who can go into battle for Qingyang.

344

Asule, by saying this, I'm comforted

345

but it's not that easy as you think.

346

Whatever General Muli can't do, who else in North Capital is capable of doing it?

347

I don't want to personally witness my younger brother

348

taking the path of General Muli.

349

I won't take his path.

350

I have my own battle skills.

351

I want to borrow a cavalry from you.

352

A calvalry team and the entire Iron Pagoda Calvary?

353

Asule, do you know what you are asking for?

354

What you want is not something minor.

355

If we lose, Qingyang will never have the chance to recover again.

356

I will convince everyone with my fighting skills tomorrow.

357

As for this cavalry team and the Iron Pagoda Calvary,

358

I'm willing to trade my life for this.

359

I'm the son of the grassland.

360

Our dignity is more important than anything else.

361

Fine.

362

This is what I want to hear.

363

I've talked with the generals and those royals for so long, and

364

I was hoping to hear such words.

365

My younger brother are saying these words now.

366

Come with me.

367

Did you see that?

368

I have ten thousand of such cavalrymen.

369

Everyone has two good horses,

370

one high-quality armor, and a sharp iron blade.

371

You personally trained them.

372

That's right. I trained them when I was a prince.

373

I spent many years of hard work for them.

374

I'm the Emperor now.

375

I haven't used this troop before.

376

Older Brother.

377

The battle at Taile River,

378

did you dispatch them?

379

Looks like you have already guessed it.

380

Those old lords would do anything to preserve their own strengths.

381

It's the same for me.

382

Frankly, I had no confidence that Muli could win that battle.

383

If I don't have this ten thousand men,

384

this throne that I am sitting on

385

will lose its power in the City of Beidu.

386

Asule, you now have ten thousand cavalry men for the battle.

387

and a thousand Iron Pagoda riders who will listen to your command.

388

This is everything I have.

389

This is your older brother's life.

390

Also also, Suma's.

391

Older Brother.

392

Asule.

393

Don't kneel down to me. We are not master and slave.

394

We are brothers.

395

Don't display your battle skills to anyone tomorrow.

396

Don't tell anyone your combat plan too.

397

I know.

398

When I met the leader of the wolves,

399

he personally told me about the spy in Qingyang.

400

Who is he?

401

He didn't reveal who but I think, being able to know about General Muli's battle plan,

402

and to know the fatal location for the White Wolves Regiment to lie in wait,

403

This person must be very close to us.

404

I must flush him out and break his neck.

405

Your Highness thought that Ningqing won't be able to return

406

but Ningqing knows that he will definitely return.

407

You didn't announce that you were coming back. With your new role,

408

I should let all the court ministers kneel in greeting your presence.

409

I ran into palace servants when I entered, and I told them not to announce it.

410

It's not necessary to make a big announcement when one returns home.

411

Home? Do you think Chang Le Palace is still big enough for you?

412

You are now Lower Tang's real ruler.

413

The Baili family only has me inside the capital,

414

but it has many descendants in Lower Tang.

415

There are many old people in the family tribe.

416

so I am allowed to be temporarily in charge of Lower Tang.

417

I don't really aspire to be Lord Of Lower Tang.

418

I have always been the child that followed Your Highness's skirt.

419

As long as I could follow Your Highness and have candy to eat, then it's quite enough.

420

It's good that you are back.

421

The entire court is full of useless officials.

422

I let them handle Xi Yan. In the end, Xi Yan escaped.

423

Against someone like Xi Yan,

424

the guards probably did all they could.

425

Your real opponent is not Xi Yan.

426

They are Bai Yi and Little Zhou instead.

427

Your birthday is about to arrive, we should hold a national celebration.

428

Your kid is all grown up now.

429

He's a heroic kid.

430

Rest in please.

431

Your wife,

432

remarried a courageous warrior.

433

She gave birth to a brave kid.

434

Even though the kid doesn't resemble you,

435

but he is as strong as you,

436

so think of him as your own son.

437

Sleep in peace.

438

Your family all died.

439

Your wolf also died.

440

You have no descendants.

441

Your friends have also come back here.

442

Sleep in peace.

443

When I die, if my corpse can also lie here

444

and listen to the King of Wolves chant for my memorial,

445

I would die without regrets.

446

Lei Bicheng.

447

You Eastlanders don't understand that

448

betrayal is a man's worst shame?

449

You were willing to spend a huge cost

450

to save Lu Song's youngest son.

451

And now you have traveled afar

452

across the icy plain to find me.

453

You say the Celestial Ministry will acknowledge me as Emperor of Grasslands,

454

and that my ax

455

will hack off the end of Eastland's Emperor.

456

What do you really

457

want to get from me?

458

Actually we don't want anything.

459

We only wish for your success in capture North Capital.

460

Frankly,

461

if Guoleer Paseur could have lived another twenty years,

462

we might not wish to ally with you.

463

It's too bad that he died too early.

464

Also,

465

he was also a weak man.

466

I heard that Celestial Ministry's envoy

467

only needs wars.

468

That's no necessarily so, but we do need wars right now.

469

My son, Huduluhan, said that

470

you are like the

471

the pestering flies that fly around

472

the dead cattle corpses.

473

I think

474

he is right.

475

I can't give other things to you,

476

but if you want wars,

477

you will get them soon.

478

We meet again.

479

No, you are not real. This is just my illusion.

480

It's never been important whether I'm real.

481

But to the people of North Capital, you are real.

482

The Star of Disaster that they know from the constellation

483

has returned again.

484

It's too bad that this Star of Disaster has the Crown Prince title.

485

Two princes want to become the emperor,

486

and both want your support.

487

So what if one can become Emperor?

488

Qingyang is destined to lose in this war.

489

Maybe I am the Star of Disaster,

490

but I am also your Star of Disaster.

491

As long as I'm alive, I'll safeguard Qingyang's glory.

492

Have you ever understand this?

493

To the people in your clan,

494

some people don't think glory is that important.

495

If it weren't so,

496

General Muli would not have been defeated so easily.

497

Do you know who the mole is?

498

I wouldn't believe what you say.

499

What a stubborn child you still are!

500

I only want to tell you

501

that there is danger everywhere in North Capital.

502

Don't believe anything too quickly even if you see it with your own eyes.

503

Eastland's Emperor...

504

Didn't you trust him a lot?

505

But he still wanted to kill you.

506

Aren't you afraid

507

that there will be another person like him?

508

Eldest Prince.

509

I'm Commander of Iron Pagoda Cavalry, Buhuala,

510

I will obey your commands.

511

I am Commander of Tiger Leopard Cavalry,.

512

The Emperor ordered me to come, so I came.

513

But I didn't expect that the Emperor is placing all of Qingyang's hope on a child who had never commanded troops.

514

Uncle,

515

I have grown up. I also fought in battles in Northland.

516

I know what cruelty is.

517

Emperor ordered me here, so I will definitely obey you,

518

but honesty, I feel unsettled without knowing your style of strategies.

519

General Muli failed even with almost a 100,000-men cavalry from Qingyang deployed to Tai Le River.

520

Now, we only have 10,000 cavalry men and one thousand from Iron Pagoda.

521

May I ask what your plan is?

522

I can tell you that, with only 11,000 men,

523

it's impossible to defeat White Wolf Regiment and Shuobei's cavalry.

524

- Then why...

- But I can make sure we kill one person.

525

Our mission is an assassination attack.

526

The target is, Shuobei's King of Wolves.

527

Assassination? Use a 10,000-men army to assassinate?

528

That's right.

529

This strategy is called Pierce the Heart.

530

What kind of strategy is that?

531

If Eastland had good strategies, why would they beg for help from Qingyang?

532

It's actually very simple.

533

Back when Emperor Fengyan invaded North Capital for the second time,

534

the Pierce-the-Heart strategy was used.

535

People of the grasslands had the advantage in fast horses and employed guerrilla tactics.

536

If Emperor Fengyan had to face frequent annoyances by the guerrilla riders,

537

he would have been slowed down in his progression.

538

So he decided to ignore them.

539

He ordered Yulin Major General Su Jinsheng

540

to take elite troops to march almost in a straight line toward North Capital.

541

If he had really taken down North Capital with the Pierce-the-Heart strategy,

542

all the other clans would have surrendered.

543

Asule, Pierce the Heart relies on speed,

544

and the moment from first strike into the enemy's camp, to kill their chief.

545

That's right.

546

But Monlehuer almost always has 3,000 Wolf Warriors next to him.

547

Also, our horses will panic and run stray when they see the wolves.

548

Our situation will disintegrate into a mess.

549

I've thought of it. The White Wolf Regiment's advantage

550

is not in their fighting ability, but in the fact that horses are naturally afraid of wolves.

551

It's a horse's natural instinct to fear wolves, and in particular, the wolves of White Wolf Regiment.

552

So if we don't have a solution on this problem, we can't sustain in a battle against them.

553

That's why we will cover the horses' eyes

554

and plug their ears.

555

But won't our horses practically become blind?

556

We want them blind!

557

Buhuana here will follow Eldest Prince

558

to strike against King of Wolves.

559

What do we about Ninth Lord? He is the head of Tiger Leopard Cavalry.

560

Without him, those cavalry men won't listen toy you.

561

Uncle is Qingyang's Ninth Lord..

562

He won't disregard the lives of all Qingyang.
