[Episode 53]

[Qingyang, North Capital]

5

We've only been apart one day, but it seems like a year already.

6

Come.

7

Suma, you've married me for a long time now.

8

Are you happy?

9

I know, in your heart,

10

I can never be the same as Asule.

11

In my heart,

12

Emperor and Eldest Prince are different.

13

I used to be Eldest Prince's slave.

14

I admired him just like how a slave followed his master.

15

I'm grateful that he saved my life.

16

But you are my husband.

17

I can easily look at you from an equal position,

18

and stay with you.

19

I still remember when I first saw you,

20

you were standing there, with eyes full of fear.

21

I didn't know why but I wanted to protect you,

22

but I couldn't do anything.

23

It was Asule who pulled out his sword.

24

He always ignores everything else

25

to protect the person he safeguards.

26

Suma,

27

I want to protect you now.

28

Tonight, I will order Banjalie

29

to take my personal guard to escort you out of the city.

30

No.

31

I am your wife. How can I run away at this moment?

32

If the other nobles find out, they will rip you apart.

33

I am not afraid.

34

But this would also mean that you're betraying the entire Qingyang.

35

God Panda will condemn you.

36

Do you know? For me to do this,

37

I feel happy

38

that I can finally match Asule.

39

I can finally prove that

40

I am worthy of you.

41

Don't refuse me.

42

I truly love you.

43

Gently. Be careful.

44

Two clan chiefs.

45

Lu Yingyang, why are you loitering around at this time?

46

Hurry!

47

Greetings to both esteemed clan chiefs.

48

The war is coming. Are you confident that you can

49

move all your assets out of the city in time?

50

All the nobles know that

51

the Emperor is powerless to protect North Capital and Qingyang.

52

I'll take as many of things as I can.

53

Hurry up! Hurry up!

54

Be careful.

55

Nobody moves! Nobody moves!

56

If you can't even protect your head,

57

can you protect your precious treasures?

58

Even the Emperor can't fight.

59

Do you have a better plan, Third Prince?

60

I understand the real wolves outside the city.

61

If some of them are weak, they would rather kill them

62

instead of helping them.

63

What they follow is a principle of strength.

64

Do you really think that after North Capital falls,

65

your families will regain your old glory?

66

It seems that Third Prince has more to say.

67

I've prepared a surprise for the two of you.

68

This way, please.

69

Why are your hands so cold?

70

I still don't want to leave.

71

Didn't we already agree?

72

If you refuse now, I won't let you.

73

I'll tell you a secret.

74

There've been many times that I wanted to say to Asule

75

that you love me very much and will give me children.

76

I know that you'll be unhappy with me if you heard this.

77

Am I too childish?

78

Are you upset?

79

When North Capital is out of siege,

80

if we can meet again,

81

give me a son.

82

One just like you.

83

It's the city gates just ahead.

84

I won't escort you out further.

85

I will see you leave here.

86

Emperor, please take care.

87

Let's go.

88

Boerhu, open the door. Don't make loud noises.

89

Hurry! Go!

90

Faster.

91

Hurry. Watch your gaps.

92

Hurry, hurry!

93

Where are you going?

94

- Going west.

- To Lanma clan?

95

Who you are? You're not Boerhu.

96

Close the gates!

97

Move aside!

98

Suma, no matter what happens, do not exit the carriage!

99

What do you want to do?

100

Are you rebelling now?

101

As long as anyone in the North Capital

102

dares to rebel, you will definitely not be pardoned!

103

No, we do not want to rebel.

104

We are just here to see how the so-called brave Emperor of Qingyang, Guoleer Pasuer

105

is abandoning his citizens and running away with his wife when his people are in danger.

106

Even more so, we want to see clearly this weakling's true face!

107

We also want to see how he kills his own Uncle after killing his father.

108

He will betray our military to seek shelter with Shuobei.

109

Letting tens of thousands of Qingyang citizens die on the battlefield!

110

You are clearly spouting nonsense! What exactly do you want to do?

111

We want to let all the citizens of North Capital City to see their great emperor,

112

to see how he privately takes his wife to run away.

113

When did you align with Shuobei's King of Wolves?

114

Was it before you became the Emperor?

115

You are Menglehouer's

116

puppet in North Capital.

117

Banjalie.

118

Hurry and go. Run!

119

Escort the Queen away. Hurry!

120

Archers shoot!

121

Xudahan, you said you'd give us a surprise.

122

What you wanted us to do, we've done it.

123

There's something we don't understand.

124

How did you know Bimogan was leaving the city tonight?

125

I still have a favor to ask from you.

126

Just say it.

127

Even though Bimogan is stripped of the Emperor's title,

128

but he is still alive.

129

So that's the matter. You either don't do something, but if you do it, you need to finish the job.

130

If Bimogan stays alive,

131

how can you, the new Emperor, sit comfortable in this throne?

132

Don't worry, we've already agreed between us,

133

we'll give you a satisfactory result.

134

Good.

135

Tonight, my guards will escort your caravans out of the city.

136

Thank you, Emperor.

137

When Father and Bimogan were around,

138

I never saw you lower your heads to me.

139

Teacher, where are we going?

140

We're going to General Xi.

141

After Shangyang Pass, we haven't seen him for a long time.

142

I heard the spy say after General Xi was rescued,

143

but he's disappeared without a trace.

144

In Revelation City, there is only one place that he can be.

145

It happened many years ago.

146

Xi Yan and I spent all our money to buy two horses.

147

We couldn't afford the inn, so we could only stay in the corridor of a drinking house.

148

The owner discovered us one day

149

and kicked us out.

150

Xi Yan got upset and beat up the owner.

151

He even said, if one day he had money,

152

he would definitely buy that drinking house.

153

We used to hear that General Bai was not so approachable.

154

General Xi, on the other hand, was more like a learned person who got along with his subsidiaries.

155

Who would have know that you were just the opposites when you were young.

156

It's been so many years. Whatever personality and aspiration we had are all changed.

157

It's right here

158

Princess Little Zhou.

159

Greetings, Your Highness.

160

Greetings, everyone.

161

General Bai.

162

General Xi has been waiting for a while.

163

Please sit and rest. He will be here soon.

164

Take everyone to rest.

165

Yes.

166

Princess Little Zhou, please follow me.

167

Your Highness, we see each again after bidding farewell in South Huai.

168

I should thank you for rescuing General Xi in time.

169

He was the one that Asule was most concerned about before leaving Eastland.

170

The person he worried the most was definitely you.

171

At Shangyang Pass, you said

172

you wouldn't drink with me again.

173

How soon you forget.

174

For my student, I can make an exception for once.

175

She is actually your own daughter,

176

why haven't you told the truth?

177

Old Xi, we are no longer young.

178

Great Yin's future belong to the young people.

179

This time, we are fighting without an exit.

180

She is not a soldier.

181

If you are hesitating, you can leave.

182

If I really leave,

183

will you cry?

184

If you really leave,

185

you will be able to see me cry.

186

This time that I'm in the capital, First Princess will not let me leave alive.

187

Actually, ever since the battle at Shangyang Pass started, she hasn't wanted anyone she disliked to live.

188

That's why when I return this time, I want to finalize all the unfinished business from before.

189

Since I am still alive in this chaotic world, I should do something.

190

Your Highness, I will help you.

191

The Heavenly Samurai Regiment is Asule's flesh and blood.

192

When he was in Eastland, he didn't want to see any of the Samurai get hurt.

193

Besides, this matter is between me and First Princess.

194

I don't want you and the Heavenly Samurai to get entangled in it.

195

I used to think that I wanted to inherit my grandfather's glory.

196

But when my grandfather took the Tiger Teeth Spear and rushed to fight with the enemy in the war,

197

he probably wasn't thinking of any glory.

198

He was just thinking of himself as a regular Heavenly Samurai.

199

And every regular Heavenly Samurai most wishes for is for the chaos to turn into peace and calm.

200

In such a chaotic world, you and Asule have always thought of yourselves as regular people.

201

But, in my heart, you both are great heroes.

202

Your Highness, I am willing to serve you.

203

The traitor of Qingyang, Lu Shouyu Bimogan Pasuer,

204

his crime of rebellion can't be denied.

205

We have decided that

206

he will be executed by the bag punishment.

207

He deserves to die. That's right. He should die for his crime.

208

Kill him! He deserves to die!

209

Kill him! Kill him!

210

Impossible! How could the Emperor be a thief?!

211

He's the ruler of North Capital.

212

This is his home. Why would he betray his home for Menglehuor?!

213

Two clan chiefs, Houchijin and Tuokele ,

214

found the letter between the Emperor and Menglehuor when they searched the Grand Hall.

215

It's confirmed. Besides, the Emperor tried to escape with the Queen and Banjialie and were captured at South Gate.

216

Thousands of people in North Capital personally witnessed it.

217

Everything's doomed.

218

Even if the Emperor betrayed his tribe behind their backs,

219

it's also...

220

Lu Shouyu, you idiot!

221

You have been badly harmed by that woman.

222

Does he really love Suma that much?

223

224

Asule.

225

Asule, you are awake.

226

Mother.

227

It's seven days again.

228

You make us worry about your health.

229

Tieye has left.

230

Prince Jiu has left too.

231

Don't think about this.

232

You can't determine victory and defeat in the battlefields all by yourself.

233

We know that you have tried your best.

234

Master.

235

Tieyan?

236

Master.

237

Sorry,

238

I didn't protect Tieye well.

239

Master, Tieye used to say that

240

we will always be with you whether in life or death.

241

For Tieye being able being to guard Qingyang with you and die in the war for you,

242

this is his honor.

243

Master!

244

- Master!

- Asule!

245

What are you doing?

246

What are you doing?

247

I'm going to see the Emperor to admit my mistake and ask for punishment. By using my life,

248

it's the only way to forgive my sin.

249

- Asule, don't go!

- Master!

250

This wasn't your fault. Everyone in the city knows that

251

you are an upright man.

252

Announcement! he Five-Elders Committee have decided the trial result of traitor Lu Shouyu.

253

Who dares to barge into Eldest Prince's tent?

254

Didn't you hear? The Five-Elders Committee have decided the trial result of traitor Lu Shouyu.

255

Every aristocrats in the city should know.

256

Where did this useless creature come from? You dare to stand here and spout nonsense?!

257

The message flag is here. How can it be faked?

258

Just try moving forward even one step!

259

What's happened to Eldest Brother? Let him speak.

260

Per the Five-Elders Committee, Lu Shouyu Pasuer betrayed ancestral spirits

261

to collude with Shoubei, assassinated his uncle, forced his father

262

in order to steal the Emperor's throne

263

He is to be executed with bag punishment today.

264

- Asule!

- Master!

265

Asule!

266

Master!

267

I think...we should be merciful.

268

Bimogan used to be our Master.

269

Let him die together with his wife.

270

Send off the Queen!

271

Stop!

272

Eldest Prince!

273

Older Brother!

274

Older Brother!

275

Older Brother!

276

Older Brother!

277

Asule...don't let Suma see me like this.

278

She will be very...sad.

279

Alright.

280

Asule.

281

Listen carefully. I'm not a traitor.

282

I'm the son of Pasuer.

283

If I betrayed Qingyang, Father in heaven won't let me off.

284

I know.

285

You are not a traitor.

286

You are not.

287

Asule.

288

Asule.

289

Older Brother.

290

You must...must protect...

291

Suma.

292

Alright.

293

Older Brother.

294

Older Brother!

295

It's all my fault! It's all my fault!

296

Traitor! Traitor!

297

He's a traitor!

298

I'm responsible for the defeat!

299

It was I who harmed them!

300

My older brother is not a traitor! He's not a traitor!

301

He's a traitor!

302

- Continue with the punishment!

- Traitor!

303

Traitor! Traitor!

304

Traitor!

305

She is innocent.

306

Are you crazy?

307

She is a traitor's wife, so she has to die.

308

Scram!

309

Wielding blade against the new Emperor...

310

Asule.

311

Do you think you can shoulder the burden of this crime?

312

Third Brother,

313

I don't understand it. When the city is defeated we will all day,

314

why would we

315

kill our own family?

316

Guaimu, take action.

317

Stop!

318

In nominating the new Emperor,

319

I have the right to speak too.

320

Chief Shaman.

321

Once I have eliminated my younger brother, you won't have any choice too.

322

Qudahan, your father knew this day would come!

323

Before he passed away, he handed this Order Plaque to me.

324

A pity that I can only use this to save just one son.

325

Chief Shaman.

326

I have always respected you

327

but today, this is the last time I will respect you.

328

Asule,

329

my dearest younger brother.

330

What should I say about you?

331

You have really grown up after having left for all those years.

332

You learned Eastland's martial arts.

333

You learned Eastland's war strategies.

334

But inside you, there still lives just a weak child.

335

With weaklings like you and Bimogan,

336

how can you protect Qingyang?

337

In a chaotic world, the real authority must be held in the hands of the strongest person.

338

Only I...can be the Emperor of Qingyang,

339

the leader of Qingyang.

340

Lord, Princess Little Zhou is here.

341

You can leave.

342

Lord Baili.

343

Your Highness, I've been waiting for you for a while.

344

Princess Little Zhou, I finally see you.

345

You are a Lord from Lower Tang.

346

You are at the capital instead of South Huai. Could it be that, rather than being a Lord,

347

you are back to First Princess's side to help her with her gown?

348

Your Highness need not degrade me.

349

I've stayed in the capital a long time.

350

Outsiders see it as a center of prosperity.

351

I see it as the largest burial place.

352

I came to see you to tell you that you are in extreme danger.

353

First Princess wants to bury you here.

354

I think you will use the help from Heavenly Samurai,

355

but their number is small and can't form an army. They cannot possibly fight against Jinwu Guards.

356

I know the Heavenly Samurai do not fear death.

357

But once they die, they're gone.

358

There is nothing left.

359

Based on your relationship with First Princess,

360

are you here to kill me?

361

Your Highness, you still don't understand me.

362

If I want to kill you, why did I help you leave South Huai city back then?

363

I am grateful for your help,

364

but now, regardless of your motive,

365

I don't want to be used by anyone anymore.

366

I am blind.

367

It means I cannot see many things clearly.

368

Even though I am Lord of Lower Tang, but I am still a subject to someone else.

369

As a subject, the most difficult thing is to find a wise monarch as shelter.

370

Isn't First Princess your wise monarch?

371

It's difficult to choose a wise monarch.

372

After the battles at Shanyang Pass, many things have made me understand that First Princess is not a wise monarch.

373

Bailing Jinghon was suspicious and selfish by nature, so he wasn't one either.

374

But you, you are the rare one that possess the kindness for the people and also wisdom.

375

You used to my aunt's closest ally.

376

I can't believe that you would say these words.

377

After the chaos in Revelation City, it's like when a dragon falls into the wilderness, wolves will devour it.

378

People cannot sustain their living under endless wars.

379

The giant wolves are also waiting in the northern border. Great Yin's hundred-year reign may sink into ruin overnight.

380

Your Highness, you are smart and you have the rightful identity.

381

You are the only one who can save Great Yin.

382

At this moment, 20,000 Lower Tang's troops are stationed outside Revelation City.

383

They will be your strongest force.

384

Bailing Jinghong and your accord is still valid.

385

Actually, the Baili family in Lower Tang has always been controlled by the Baili family in the capital.

386

Bailing Jinghong was no exception.

387

Then why did you help me leave South Huai to save Asule?

388

Baili Jinghong was already mentally unstable because of Gong Yuyi's death.

389

He was suspicious and selfish in nature. I already said that he would not be a wise monarch.

390

Lord Baili, your plan is so deep and extensive.

391

However, with all your plotting,

392

it can't be just for the sake of Great Yin's hundreds of thousands of people.

393

I am just an ordinary person after all.

394

All I wish is to protect the legacy of Baili family.

395

As a payback, I would ask that, once you ascend the throne, you will marry Lower Tang's Crown Prince Baili Yu.

396

That will guarantee a hundred years of prosperity for the Baili family.

397

From now on, Lower Tang and Chuwei, the two most prosperous states in Eastland

398

will be your strongest backing, Your Highness.

399

I also have a gift to present to you.
