[Jun Jiu Ling]

[Episode 29]

I see that Miss Jun has an extraordinary spirit, without regard for your life

You are not like a lady from just any normal family

Madam, my name is Jun Jiuling

Jun Jiuling?

The Jun Jiuling who came up with a solution to control the smallpox epidemic?

Madam, you are too kind

If my guess is correct

you are Madam Re

Madam, don't worry. I have no intention of reporting on you

The reason I am here is to investigate the smallpox issue

To help Duke Cheng solve the problem of the repercussions.

You and Duke Cheng have done many good deeds

Except, there is one thing I don't understand

Right now, Duke Cheng is in the frontline defending against the enemy

Why did you come here?

I'm going to Daming Prefecture

to seek an audience with Qing Hebo.

Seek an audience with Qing Hebo?

Duke Cheng and I have been defending the Northern frontier for many years

Honestly speaking, even if things are harder, we can still squash it

The hardest to squash is the human heart

Especially this time

many officials in the north have been swapped. The soldiers, horses and rations have been restricted too.

Duke Cheng can't leave at will

If we wait for the court, we don't know how long we need to wait

I'm rushing to Daming Prefecture to seek an audience with Qing Hebo.

I want to borrow some soldiers and rations from them

to manage the supplies and discuss again later.

Madam, you and Duke Cheng both put your country above your own safety and comfort

It's very admirable to place the life and death of the people first.

It is definitely worthy of our respect

Don't worry. I will discuss the route with Master Lei

to check if he can change to a small path which is faster than the official route.

Then, I will impose on Miss Jun

Second Brother

Second Brother, you are fast

How are the preparations? Our men are ready

and waiting for them to relax their vigilance.

- We will coordinate from inside and outside to kill the Northern Qi's soldiers. - Fine.

We will take actions at night.

[Chaohua Hall]

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, there's a memorial from Kaide Prefecture.

[Duke Cheng dispatched a military messenger to defend and command Kaide Prefecture]

Kaide Prefecture is intact.

Congratulations, Your Majesty!

This shows that Northern Qi is strong in appearance but weak in reality.

I'm looking forward to the day when our brave soldiers expel the thieves.

Your Majesty, without Duke Cheng, we can still defend it

No

Its because Duke Cheng sent men to protect the city

The report said, he sent a soldier of minor rank

to command the garrison.

That ...

That is still because Your Majesty is wise, and the people are blessed

Your Majesty, from what I see

We should take the opportunity to make peace with Northern Qi

Before this, we were at war, and peace talks are not beneficial to us

But, we are now in a better situation

Otherwise, if we have a prolonged war

The people will be the ones to suffer

If our side first initiates the peace talks

We will lose face

Northern Qi has sent an envoy here

To meet Your Majesty and discuss the peace negotiations

They seemed very earnest

Let him in

Yes

Master

Is there any news from Zhu Zan?

Not right now

Zhu Zan's military messenger?

I think this military messenger must be Zhu Zan who's creating troubles at Kaide Prefecture.

Send my order. You must find the man

and kill him Yes, Master

Here

Be careful.

Be careful Thank you

Here, this is yours

Thank you, thank you

Thank you. Take it

Take it

Come

How much longer must we wait here?

What's our purpose for going to Kaide Prefecture?

Its all for the people in the North

The refugees are also our people

Of course, we can't ignore them when we encounter them.

Lord Jin, we are already ahead of our schedule by two days

So, why don't you go about your own business, and we can meet when I am done?

You spent a lot of money on these rations

Don't worry, Madam. I can afford it

You escorted and protected me to Kaide Prefecture. You didn't even take a single cent

and took risks too. Why are you doing this?

I do it for the same reason as you

We have seen states of devastation along the journey.

For the people of the North, Duke Cheng

and fighting without retreating for everyone.

It's also good if we can help with our meagre efforts.

Here

You are going to be dismissed from your post and you are still reading this.

If not then? Learn to go on a hunger strike like Elder Sister-in-law?

I reminded you earlier. Don't stir up trouble

You didn't listen

Fortunately, Yunzhao was smart and didn't state his standpoint.

Otherwise, he will be like you sooner or later.

Uncle.

There's trouble Did we get defeated?

No. His Majesty wants to discuss peace negotiations with the Northern Qi envoy

No more war? That is a good thing

You are a married woman. The matters of the court ...

You are dismissed

Yunzhao, continue speaking

Although we are discussing peace negotiations, but the conditions raised by the Northern Qi envoy are too much

First, the two countries must on equal status and establish a trading market. Second, the boundaries must be redrawn.

They want our Imperial Court to let them have Bao and Xiong Provinces, and return Ba Province to them.

What!!

When we established a trading market in the past,

there was an influx of spies to spy on our military situation.

Did they forget?

The three provinces are our lands. When did it become theirs?

His Majesty was outraged. But in the end the Northern Qi envoy said something

- What did he say? - Otherwise,

Northern Qi will gather another 50,000 men and head towards the south.

They won't stop if they can't regain their homeland.

From His Majesty's reaction, his consent

is something that will happen sooner or later

Does it hurt?

Its alright

Madam, your ankle has recovered relatively well these last few days.

But you can't work yourself so hard. You should rest.

I can't pay much attention to that.

Here. Be careful.

Speaking of which, recently, the Heir Apparent is wanted as a criminal everywhere.

Are you worried?

It would be a lie if I said I wasn't.

What mother wouldn't worry about her son.

However, he's gotten used to being away from home. He's very clever.

He won't be caught that easily.

The Heir Apparent is alert and intelligent.

I believe he will return to your side unscathed.

You know him?

Before, in the capital,

the Heir Apparent helped me.

I've always said, other people say he's

a scoundrel devil incarnate.

Only those close to him know his true character.

He didn't cause trouble for you, did he?

How would he?

The Heir Apparent values camaraderie.

He's also warm hearted. During the smallpox epidemic, we were fortunate he was there to help with experimenting.

Only then were we able to develop the vaccine and save the people.

This is all what he should have done. It's been inconvenient for you.

Madam, you're too kind.

Miss Jun, and emergency report from the De Chengchang treasurer.

If the previous emperor were still here,

he would have immediately behead those involved in this

and thrown their damn head back to Northern Qi.

With these conditions, they really agreed?

This is humiliating.

All the peace talk when it was really

giving up the Three Counties of Baozhou, Xiongzhou, and Bazhou.

Killed his older brother and seized the country.

To get the country, he was malevolent, unjust, disloyal, and unfilial.

He's no better than an animal.

How could he let others come steal his country?

He unexpected negotiated peace?

It's a shame I didn't kill him back then.

Now the lives of those in the three counties are in the hands of others.

What do you think is wrong with this world?

It's not the world's fault.

This is a man-made disaster. So many of the territories and people of the three counties

were traded with the blood of so many soldiers.

He abandoned them on a whim.

Madam, Duke Cheng didn't lose.

Regardless of how many invaders, Duke Cheng doesn't fear them.

Unfortunately, heaven doesn't follow man's wishes. If you fight against it,

then you must face it head on and fight a bloody battle.

Looking ahead, the soldiers aren't afraid of death.

What would they be afraid of from the back?

Madam, are you still going to the Daming Residence?

It doesn't have any meaning anymore.

I have a favor to ask.

Please speak.

There are many people in the three counties. Although the land was given up, the people were not given up.

I would like to ask Madam to make an appearance and help lead the people pass through Hejian.

We can abandon the land, but not the people.

As long as they're trapped in the North, we'll take everyone and leave.

Cut land, but not people?

Guarding the border is guarding the people.

I believe all the soldiers will respect your behavior.

I'll go with you.

Thank you, Madam.

With yours and Duke Cheng's reputation, I believe this will certainly succeed.

What's wrong?

This old thief actually convinced the Emperor to negotiate peace and cut off the Three Counties.

It really destroys my military spirit.

He deserve to die.

What should we do next?

We continue going north.

Madam is still at Daming Residence.

Uncle Qinghe and Duke Cheng didn't get along to begin with.

- If he take this chance to— - Madam should have already received the news.

She will protect herself.

Second Brother, are we really going to continue north?

The North removed their defense. Northern Qi soldiers will definitely break the defense and go south.

Then the people will suffer.

It's decided. This matter relates to the lives and safety of the people.

Flower umbrellas. Beautiful umbrellas.

Spare me some food.

Master, give me some food.

Listening to your accent, you're not a local.

I'm from the Liu Family in Bazhou.

I came out to do business but lost everything.

I wasn't to gather some money to go home.

Xiao Ding.

Thank you, master.

Use it to buy some food. Remain in the capital and live well.

Thank you. Thank you.

- Xiao Ding. - Spare some food.

Hello Sir, spare some food.

Hello Sir, spare some food.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hello, sir.

Hello, sir. Spare some food.

What's wrong, mother? Is something not right?

What is Jiuling doing in West Hebei?

Her expense is so great. She could buy a whole city.

The last time she sent a message, I think she was escorting a lady to Daming Residence.

Could escorting a lady use this much silver?

The North isn't stable right now, hopefully she isn't being scammed.

She won't be, Grandmother.

Grandmother, Jiuling sent a letter.

Hurry and give it to me.

What does the letter say?

Grandmother, Jiuling spent all that silver

is to help escort the people of the Three Counties back.

Escort the people of the Three Counties back?

Take a look.

Great.

It's no wonder she's my granddaughter.

I thought you would get mad.

In your heart,

am I someone without discernment?

No, Grandmother. You told us before that

our Fang Family's assets were earned by our ancestors.

So we can't let anyone shake our roots.

Plus,

in business, speak business. You've been in charge of De Shengchang for all these years.

You've never done business that doesn't profit.

As a business person,

you should indeed stick to what you know.

Not only is business judged by profit,

somethings can't be done even if you have money.

Pass down my order.

Aside from normal expenses, De Shengchang's profit

will all be directed to West Hebei for Jiuling to use.

Yes, Grandmother.

[Baimang City Government]

We need to remain cautious.

Officer Tian, Madam Yu arrived.

Greetings, Madam.

What have you come for?

Officer Tian, no need to be so courteous.

Who is this?

- I am— - She's Jun Jiuling, my soon-to-be daughter-in-law.

So this is Miss Jun.

I never thought you would also be the Heir Apparent's wife.

You match well with the Heir Apparent.

That's right.

Officer Tian, I came with the Heir Apparent's wife to discuss something with you.

Please speak.

Officer Tian, we would like to ask you to send the Hejian Garrison

to escort the people of the Three Counties south to the capital.

This...

Miss, it's not because we're cowards,

it's because the court—

The court gave up the land in the Three Counties, not the people.

You helping them go south should be a given.

You wouldn't be going against the imperial edict, but respecting His Majest's order.

This is an urgent matter.

Officers, this isn't rejecting the order but doing a merit.

Escorting the people of the Three Counties is to show His Majesty kindness.

My people, my country. You can only have a country when you have the people.

We can give up land, but people cannot be abandoned.

Officers, why can't we welcome back our own comrades?

For what other reason are you afraid of?

That's true.

You two have a point.

I never thought the Heir Apparent's wife would be such a heroine.

Just as Madam Yu said,

we have stopped fighting and settled for peace with Northern Qi.

What was given up was the land in the Three Counties.

The people of the Three Counties are our comrades who share same flesh and blood.

Our comrades are suffering,

how could we turn a blind eye on them?

Officers, you're all wise.

It is our imperative to welcome back the people of the Three Counties.

Madam.

Sit.

Madam, is something bothering you?

Now the Northern Qi soldiers have reached Bazhou.

They can come to Hejian at any time.

So Baimang City became the last barrier before Hejian.

Once they break through, then Hejian is done for.

As of now, Officer Tian can still take in refugees.

It's not easy.

So I was thinking.

The defense as Baimang City cannot let their guard down.

I'm only worries that within the refugees,

there will be Northern Qi spies. Then that'll be our mistake.

I understand. You're worries are valid.

Madam, I have an idea.

We can have Officer Tian set up another check point in the city.

We'll first situate the refugees within the checkpoint area.

After verifying each one of their identities, we can then release them.

During this time, we can use porridge and free check-ups to appease everyone.

Alright. We'll do that.

Miss Jun, I apologize for just now.

Those people have been immersed in officialdom too long and care too much about your identity and background.

I didn't know what else to do.

But in the North, the identify of being the Heir Apparent's wife

will be easier and more respected.

Madam, no need to say too much. I understand.

One day, if you really become my daughter-in-law,

it will be my blessing.

Madam, you're too kind.

Enjoy.

Come in.

This way.

I never imagined the Heir Apparent's wife to be so brave at such a young age.

And has courage and insights and with Heir Apparent of Duke Cheng.

- They are really a pair made in heaven. - That's right.

Sir,

you said Heir Apparent's wife?

Yes. The Heir Apparent's wife.

- What? - The Heir Apparent's wife not only rescued the northern refugees. She also

wants to bring back all the people of the north.

She's a woman

but isn't afraid of putting herself in danger. Very admirable.

I heard she also wen to Bazhou and rescued tens of thousand of people.

Didn't the Northern Qi thiefs go to Bazhou?

Yes. The Heir Apparent's wife isn't afraid.

She's young

and has astounding talents.

She's wise and know military strategy.

Which shameless imposter is pretending to be my wife?

The news is spreading so fast.

Miss Jun probably heard about it.

She better no misunderstand my innocence.

Ok. Thank you, sir.

Second Brother, what's going on?

How would I know?

Let's go and get moving.

- We're not eating? - No.

Hey, Older Brother.

How did a Heir Apparent's wife suddenly appear?

You're too young, you won't understand.

Do you understand?

Still no news about her?

Yes, sir.

Sir, the North is currently unstable.

Could Jin Shiba be in danger?

His subordinates are no match for Jin Shiba.

Unless...he has helpers.

Could Zhuzan and Miss Jun have found each other?

It's probably not Zhu Zan. The great victory in Kaide Prefecture

Is most likely related to him.

In just a few days,

From Kaide Prefecture to Anding, even if wants to fly, he won't make it that fast.

Increase the number of people on the case and find out what's going on.

If the situation changes, even in you need to tied her up, bring her back.

Yes.

Princess.

You just recovered. Why aren't you resting?

It's no problem.

Is she doing alright in the North?

Yes.

Second Brother, there's new from the Yunxiao Pavillion.

My mother went to Hejian?

Upon hearing about the peace negotiation, Madam no longer went to Daming Residence and went to Hejian?

She's also with the so-called Heir Apparent's wife.

Then she acknowledges the person's title as the Heir Apparent's Wife?

Hejian is relatively dangerous.

Could mother have been tricked?

- Let's go. - Ok.

You two want to separately lead troops out of the city?

Yes. The situation is urgent. The sooner we leave, the more people we can save.

That's right. I'll depart from the west. Madam will depart from the southeast side.

The people we rescue will be escorted back. You must be prepared to welcome them.

Also, the people whoa re rescued should continue going south. You must not retain them.

This also reduces the pressure on you.

Yes, Madam.

I'll entrust the Heir Apparent's Wife to you two.

Please rest assured. I, Li Guorui,

will ensure her safety at all times.

Rest assured. I will protect you.

Jiuling, the trip will be dangerous. Be careful.

- You too. - I'll wait for us to be reunited.

Ok.

Alright. Hurry and walk.

Hurry up.

Keep up. What are you dilly dallying for?

- Hurry up. - Did you hear?

Walk!

Hurry up.

Walk! Don't stop.

Stand up!

Hurry up!

Behave.

- Don't move. - Did you all see?

Whoever is slow and delays the trip,

this will be your ending.

Walk!

Hurry up!

Stop dilly dallying.

Hurry up! Walk!

Keep up!

Walk!

Walk!

I'm from Tianyou Army and conferred by Duke Cheng to protect the country and its people.

I order you to surrender these people, otherwise you will be severely punished.

- What are you doing? - Shut up!

Stop talking!

This is already out Northern Qi's territory.

These people are out slaves.

You want to take them away? Keep dreaming!

Before the peace treaty is signed,

Ba Province is still the land of Tianyou.

These people are also the citizens of Tianyou.

Today I must take them with me.

What's wrong? Are there no men

in your dignified Tianyou?

They actually let a woman come fight?

A cowardly Tianyou

even raised such cowardly soldiers?

And the cowardly people...

Charge!

Charge!

Charge!

Save the people.

Lei, be careful!

Everyone help untie them!

Everyone help. Don't panic!

Don't panic! Come with me!

Come on! Come with me!

- Let's go! - Follow her.

Hurry! Keep up!

They're escaping! Hurry and chase them!

Everyone keep up!

Be careful!

Let's go!

- Charge! - Watch your step. Everyone keep up!

Come, this way.

Be careful.

Here, be careful.

Be careful.

Here. Be careful.

Here.

- Be careful. - Hurry!

Hurry!

Be careful.

This place is safe for the time being. Everyone can take a break.

Savior, who are you?

When I go back, I will set up a longevity tablet for you.

I'm here under the order of Duke Cheng.

Who exactly are you?

She's the wife of Heir Apparent of Duke Cheng.

Thank you, Heir Apparent's wife.

Everyone, no need to thank me. Get up now.

Don't thank me. If you want to thank, thank Duke Cheng.

Get up now.

Second Older Brother, there's news from Yunxiao Pavilion.

They said the lead soldiers of a Heir Apparent's wife were invincible and she's regarded as a goddess.

Countless of people have already returned safely to Hejian Prefecture.

She sounds amazing.

That's right. They also said that this Heir Apparent's wife

even dared to snatch the people from the Northern Qi's soldiers. She brought back those people who were abducted.

I really want to see what kind of mysterious goddess this Heir Apparent's wife is.

Looking at it now, she's definitely amazing.

- What about Miss Jun? - There's stll no news.

Jun, are you still safe? Was she captured by that Lu fellow?

Second Younger Brother, where should we go now?

Bao Province is ahead. Ethics Guard Jiang Cheng is a disciple of my father. We need manpower.

Let's leave now to meet up with my father immediately. Let's go.

This peace treaty has already been agreed. Why is Northern Qi causing troubles again?

Where's Huang Cheng? What is he doing?

Your Majesty, Lord Huang has always been negotiating with the Northern Qi's envoy.

As for why Northern Qi is causing troubles again...

that's because Duke Cheng refused to withdraw his soldiers.

He even sent his wife and the Heir Apparent's wife to Ba Province

to escort and protect the people back home safely.

What is he tryig to do?

Does he want the entire Tianyou to die before he's satisfied?

Your Majesty, don't be angry.

I think everything is still under your control.

If the escort and protection of the people is successful,

the people in the kingdom will praise you for your kindness and virtue,

and as a kind Emperor. If this fails,

Duke Cheng disobeyed your decree and harmed the country and its people.

Can he really buy the hearts of the people?

Lord, there's news from the north.

Where is she?

She went to Bao Province.

Bao Province?

From Qingyuan Mansion till Bao Province, why didn't Jin Shiba send any news back?

Lord, Heir Apparent went to Bao Province.

Zhu Zan?

Mrs Yu and the wife of Heir Apparent went to Ba Province.

As a man, he hides behind a woman.

Is this the so-called loyal and brave soldier?

He's really admirable.

Lord, are we still capturing him?

No need.

Kill him.

Yes.

Ethics Guard Jiang Cheng of Tianyou have been waiting for Heir Apparent for a long time.

Heir Apparent, don't worry. The soldiers in Tianyou withdrew to the north. Many people are homeless.

I'm waiting as a soldier of Tianyou to obey your commands to head to the north together

to receive the people of Tianyou.

I'm now a wanted criminal. Aren't you afraid?

Frankly speaking, I wanted to report to the Imperial Court.

However, it's an unusual period now.

A longer time to report is also excusable.

What if there's an accident along the way and the report was not submitted to the capital?

They can't punish me too.

When we go forward now, life and death is unpredictable.

Everyone, are there anyone who's not willing to go?

Excellent. You are indeed men from Tianyou dynasty.

Everyone, we are the elite soldiers of Tianyou dynasty.

We will rely on you to protect Tianyou.

On behalf of Duke Cheng, I thank everyone.

We are willing to follow Heir Apparent.

We are willing to follow Heir Apparent.

We are willing to follow Heir Apparent.

Zhu Zan, are you doing well?

I wonder where you are now and if you are in danger.

Do you know? I'm very worried about you.

By the way, there's something I want to tell you.

I'm now the wife of Heir Apparent.

Do you think this is fate playing tricks on people?

I really wish you can appear in front of me immediately.

I really miss you very much.

You must come back alive.

I will wait for you.

The Northern Qi's army at the border has withdrawn and returned to their territory.

- Withdrawn? - Yes. The war report stated that Duke Cheng pretended to retreat.

In fact, they raided the left-wing of their army.

This left-wing army was led by their Crown Prince.

Hence, the Northern Qi's army dared not return to defend them.

Duke Cheng is here to help us lift the seige. Now that the army has withdrawn,

Looks like there is currently only a smal group of soldiers here and easy to deal with.

Doesn't Duke Cheng has only 10,000 soldiers? Isn't he trapped in the north with them?

If the reinforcement doesn't rush here in time, wouldn't it...

- Miss, there's a letter from Heir Apparent. - Where is he?

He's heading towards north. Looking at the situation, he's moving closer to Duke Cheng.

Also, there's news from Hejian Prefecture. The peace treaty has been signed.

The horses and soldiers of Northern Qi are entering the three provinces now. The garrisons in the north will withdraw immediately.

Any violations of the decree is punishable as treason.

Treason?
