[Jun Jiu Ling]

[Episode 31]

It‘s been so long since I've seen such a clear and peaceful starry sky.

I remember last time I saw it often with my father.

I also saw it when travelling on the road.

Now the starry sky is still that stretch of starry sky

but the people under the starry sky have changed.

If not for war, this sky will be more beautiful.

Do you know, during summer and autumn

this sky will be studded with stars.

This ground is interweave with spark

and stonecrop. Put together in a pattern

it's like the milky way in the sky pouring down to earth.

Really?

I really want to see it.

That's easy, next year's summer, I'll bring you.

Ok.

Do you know?

Do I know what?

Some things

cannot be hidden from the eyes.

Jun Jiuling

I've always wanted to search for answers through your eyes.

What did you call me?

Jun. Jiu. Ling.

♫ Sighing at how fleeting life is, the swords tell of the scars ♫

♫ After our meeting, I'm unwilling to separate ♫

♫ Journeying alone and cold, the past is a secret guarded closely ♫

♫ Hide the love and hate of tonight, stow away the naivety ♫

Do you miss her?

♫ Meeting an old friend, we look at each other as the memories emerge ♫

♫ Only daring to show a bit of gentleness in dreams ♫

I am the person you have always been missing.

♫ ...caused the emotional entanglement with you to surge ♫

♫ The warmth in the rough birch disturbs the stars ♫

♫ The art of healing become edges used to guard the mountains and rivers ♫

♫ Hurt and hatred have not taken over ♫

You are finally willing to say.

Do you know how long I've waited?

♫ Journeying together, waiting for some prosperity ♫

From the start

my repeated questions were just suspicions.

Until the time at the green mountain courtyard

when you helped me to cure smallpox, what you said in my ear.

Jiuling...

Ling Jiu, I'm here.

Jiuling is here.

I thought I experienced life and death

nothing scary about it.

But I'm so scared now.

I'm afraid that I won't get to see you again.

Do you know?

If you can wake up

I will tell you everything, ok?

Those specious words, I heard them.

At that time

I think you are the person

but I can't verify. We have been through so much together

I know.

It's so difficult for you.

You have a lot of things that are hard to say.

But do you still remember what I said?

Some things

you don't say, I won't ask.

I was waiting for you.

I was waiting for the day when you tell me personally that you are Chu Jiuling.

Sorry.

♫ The outline of my dream is carved on your face ♫

♫ Times interlace in the watery eyes ♫

♫ Allow me to weigh every word for indescribable cause and effect ♫

I think the Heaven's are fair, and will bring justice to those that deserve it.

I'm allowed to confess everything to you like this, and

giving me the chance to meet you again.

Let me confide everything to you.

Let me fight through obstacles together

You know, everything that we've encountered together

All the troubles

seem to melt away slowly

in the days you stayed by my side.

I think I've only finally understood why I've remained firm in my beliefs.

Who would've thought everything of the past,

all of the pain,

have become the greatest proof of our feelings for each other.

Jiu Ling

Sorry

I wasn't able to recognize you sooner

to protect you

♫ With many tomorrows to come, I’m willing to entrust my whole life to you ♫

♫ And see the starry night, mountains and rivers together ♫

♫ In the long silence, we are separated by a huge crowd ♫

♫ I can only sigh deeply. The rest of my life is bumpy ♫

♫ The vast sky is you and the wind is me ♫

[laughs]

I've already missed you once.

I won't miss you again.

No one at any time

can separate us.

Ling Jiu

Thank you.

♫ The vast sky is you and the wind is me ♫

♫ Going through the bottom of my heart ♫

♫ Has God ever asked for clues about the wind? ♫

♫ If I could write down how much I miss you ♫

♫ It would drift like the rain ♫

♫ It’s hard to see you again. I’m wailing in deep sorrow ♫

[Lamb Meat Shop]

Fighting for donations? The Board of Civil Office's idea?

You can't blame us.

The government hasn't been able to provide that much money.

Since we're getting paid, we must help the Emperor everywhere we can.

Of course we must think of solutions

for Duke Cheng's reward.

Or else, without money we can't satisfy the military.

What'll happen if conflict arises?

I feel sorry for all of us, but as for blame,

no one can blame us.

[laughs]

Then...who should we blame?

Obviously it's Duke Cheng's fault.

Because he became forceful in order to show off his achievements.

Because of him, other officials are following in his steps and asking for reward for every achievement!

Because of him, hundreds of officials lack pay, and the citizens protest the tax.

He's brought suffering upon everyone in the capital all by himself!

Who else do we blame if not him?

This is good.

Is everything prepared and ready?

Don't worry. Everything is ready.

We're only waiting the right moment.

Okay.

New and old resentments

should be

repaid now.

What are you looking at?

I'm looking at how pretty you are

So cute

Did you ever think we'd end up like this?

Like what?

Just like how we are right now.

Sitting together by the lake, enjoying the scenery with no worries

Do you want to hear the truth?

Yes I have.

What else have you thought about?

I've also thought about

Tell me something to make me happy then I'll tell you.

Shouldn't men be the one to say these things to make women happy?

Why don't you say something to make me happy?

Okay I'll say.

I don't like this world.

I only like you, Jiu Ling.

Just this?

That's so cheesy.

This doesn't count?

Then you say one.

My luck has always been bad.

But the luckiest thing that has happened in my life

is meeting you.

Even though I'm not sure what will happen in the future.

But once I think about having you by my side.

Then I'm not scared of anything.

There's one thing you can be sure of.

No matter what happens

I love you and you're mine.

We'll be together forever.

Go!

Be careful.

Quickly run.

Zhu Zan!

Notify our comrades ahead that Zhu Zan and Jun Jiu Ling have left the He Jian Residence area.

Disperse.

You already know what happened in the city.

It's such a low blow.

They couldn't get what they wanted using upright methods, so they turned to that.

So we need to think of a way

I have an idea but I need your help.

You shouldn't take part in this plan.

But it'd be easier for De Shengchang to take part.

Plus no one will be suspicious.

It's easy to take care of troublemakers,

but scholars are stubborn and pedantic. They aren't easy to deal with.

I have a solution.

Many of the city scholar's are Master Qi's students

If he can come out then everything will be solved.

That's a good idea

But Master Wi has been retired for a longtime.

No one knows where he is.

There someone who knows.

Ning Yun Zhao.

Then after we enter the city, we go on seperate ways.

Okay.

[Red Phoenix Gate]

Duke Cheng is about to return to the city,

What's the status for the tax levy decree?

Duke Cheng led the army to protect the people of Tianyou.

Fortunately, your people are relatively reasonable.

Naturally, they are willing to contribute what they can to the soldiers.

Your Majesty. It's just that

forgive me for being straightforward,

I hope you will distinguish reward and punishment,

and do not tolerate Duke Cheng's faults.

What fault does Duke Cheng have?

Your Majesty is merciful. Duke Cheng has laboriously returned from the North.

This should be rewarded.

However, after we negotiated peace, Duke Cheng

initially resisted the Imperial Edict and entered the Northern lands.

We can't let our guard down.

I trust Duke Cheng.

I dare ask Your Majesty to take back the City Gate Summon Order.

Do not open the gate to welcome Duke Cheng.

Duke Cheng has disobeyed the Royal Order and refused to return.

But now he wants to return to the city.

We have no way to know what happened between him and Northern Qi.

Once the city gates open, if spies slip in,

then it will be a danger to your safety.

If the installation of our city's defense faciities are disclosed, Tianyou...

then that's the end of us.

Even if I die thousands of times, I cannot let

Your Majesty and Tianyou be in danger.

Your Majesty,

I congratulate you.

Your Majesty, you wanted to praise Duke Cheng. But if you open the gates,

then the people of the Three Counties will have traveled thousands of miles without hesitation to thank you.

If that's the case, then Duke Cheng and the people would be praising you.

Official Ning, aren't you oblivious to outside matters?

Official Huang, being oblivious to outside matters refers to being oblivious to matter unrelated to you.

This is a matter of our country.

Your Majesty, in this case, you've not only make Bei Qi surrender,

The annual tax payment from the vassal states will comfort the ancestral temple.

You've also haven't abandoned the people and welcomed them back.

Your Majesty, you are benevolent. The heavens can confirm that you are the most kind hearted.

Yao and Shun cannot even compare. (T/N: These are highly esteemed ancient Chinese leaders)

This is your contribution. Everyone should celebrate.

Now that the peace negotiation is settled, the country is at peace.

I believe the people will remember Your Majesty's kindness and virtue.

I contratulate Your Majesty.

- Your Majesty— - Alright, alright.

As discussed by the officials, since this is for Tianyou,

Let me consider this matter again.

I'm getting tired. You all leave.

As long as I, Huang Chen, am here, there will be innumerable hurdles.

Zhu Shan, you just wait.

They actually used these tricks.

They must have planned this out awhile ago.

Huang Cheng is deliberately forcing Duke Cheng

Pushing him in the line of danger to become the target.

Even before he gets here, he'll be the subject of everyone's hatred.

It's extremely dangerous for Duke Cheng to return to the capital. I'm afraid he won't even make it through the gate.

Uncle, rest assured. I won't let them get their way and deceive the people.

What's your plan?

They forgot

there's also another person coming into the city.

You're talking about Miss Jun.

Yes.

Plus, she's the Heir Apparent's Wife. She's always been very smart.

She must have already anticipated the difficulties of entering the capital.

Of course she's planned it all and is proceeding with clear logic.

Yunzhao.

Miss Jun, do you-

Uncle. She doesn't feel the same about me and I've tried my best.

It just wasn't meant to be.

She's chosen someone and I'm happy for her.

[Jiu Ling Hall]

They've provided a large amount of money, and also encouraged a group of people to cause trouble.

There must be hundreds now. They've found so many?

They're all paid. This much for an adult.

This much for a child, and this much for crying!

They've detailed everything.

They have no shame.

I'm afraid the shameless are the hardest to deal with.

However, don't worry Young Lady.

Young Lady Ju is already aware of this and has made preparations.

The Young Master also has plans.

If it were up to me, I'd just clearly state my identity

and tell everyone the Prince's wife is Jiu Ling Hall's Young Lady Ju！

With her fame, who would dare get in her way!

Then we'll be at a disadvantage. No one dares to block Young Lady Ju,

but Duke Cheng can't be blocked either! It's two different matters.

Neither official ranks can be lost here.

[Fang Manor]

Cheng Yu.

He's sleeping again.

Wait.

Is he trying to rebel

with these businesses?

Grandmother, don't worry.

You've experienced so many things and have grown up now.

Jiu Ling's business is too dangerous.

How would you know the reason for everything?

Grandmother, I only need to know

that she's doing the right thing, then that's enough.

She's not only doing this for the Fang family.

You and I are the same.

We're willing to use everything in Fang family's power to achieve our goals.

However, we all worry for her.

Weren't you to enter the city with Duke Cheng? Why have you come ahead of time?

Because there's a favor I must ask of you.

It seems Duke Cheng's return trip isn't peaceful.

Scholars are upright and proud, and find it hard to withstand incitement.

After deep consideration, I'm afraid we can only ask for one person's help.

Sir Qi.

Exactly.

Duke Cheng! Give the citizens a path to survival!

Who is ahead? How dare you block the Zhu Family Army?

Duke Cheng! The treasury is empty due to your demand for reward!

Us citizens are forced to pay for your reward as well!

Duke Cheng! You become rich with war,

yet you can't steal the livelihood of us citizens!

He's right!

Duke Cheng hungers for battle and brings devastation upon our country!

Give us justice! Get him!

Get him!

Give us justice!

Get him!

Soldiers are killing us!

Sheathe your swords! Soldiers of our country

only kill enemy soldiers! Don't use your swords against our people!

Those who disobey will be punished according to military law!

He's committed great crimes! He should be punished!

Get him!

De Sheng Chang welcomes Duke Cheng

back from his victory! We'll scatter silvers in celebration!

De Sheng Chang welcomes Duke Cheng

back from his victory! Scatter silvers in celebration!

-Manager Liu. -We've brought medicine and silvers for everyone!

-There's enough for everyone! -Medicine for philanthropy!

Come get money everyone!

Come get money!

Hey! Don't leave!

There's enough for everyone!

-Enough for everyone. -Here! Those in the back!

Here.

In the back!

Here. Here you go!

There's enough for everyone!

I want some!

Here! Silvers over here!

-Don't worry, don't worry. -There's enough for everyone!

Here!

There's enough for everyone!

[Bright Gate]

My Father has commanded me to lead.

But Duke Cheng has yet to appear.

It sure is infuriating.

My Lord.

Third Prince, Duke Cheng has run into some trouble. Perhaps, he'll arrive later.

We've already waited here for a long time.

When will Duke Cheng arrive?

Please do not worry, Third Prince. Duke Cheng has no one to hold authority over him in the north.

I'm afraid he's become lax.

He wouldn't be able to arrive on time.

I'll keep waiting,

and see just when Duke Cheng plans to arrive.

Zhu Shan, you love and protect the citizens.

I'll wait to see

how you'll deal with these desperate citizens.

Who does Young Lord Ning sigh for?

I sigh for the Emperor's face.

If Duke Cheng isn't able to arrive on time, while that is shameful for Duke Cheng,

it's more shameful for the Emperor.

I believe Duke Cheng understands what's at stake,

and will protect the Prince's reputation.

[Tianyou]

[Soldiers of a Conquered Nation]

[Chaos of the Four Seas]

Our Duke Cheng returns with a victory as per the Emperor's orders!

Why are you blocking the way?

Are you dissatisfied with the Emperor's orders?

We ask that Duke Cheng dismount, take off his armor,

-return to the capital and ask for forgiveness for his crimes! -How dare you!

Our Duke Cheng has shed blood and sweat for his achievements! What crime does he have?

Crime one, causing chaos in the north by disobeying the Emperor's orders!

Crime two, his hunger for battle has prevented rest for his armies!

Crime three, requesting reward from the citizens and causing political chaos!

If this continues, our country will fall due to you all!

You, Duke Cheng, will end our country!

You, Zhu Family Army, is an army that'll end our country!

-How dare you! -Lao Ba.

You are all scholars.

I, Zhu Shan, refuse to believe that you will block my path here

due to some rumors. Who is behind this?

Duke Cheng! I'll only ask one thing!

Did you or did you not remain silent when Kai De Manor was defeated?

I must consider the entire battle and protect the most important place.

Then you're admitting to the crime!

You scholar!

Duke Cheng commands his army against Bei Qi and protects the citizens!

Don't try to spread your lies here!

A woman like you doesn't have the right to speak about laws and justice with me!

How dare you!

Lao Ba!

If that's the case, then do I have the right to discuss laws and justice?

I haven't made an appearance in a long time, yet I wasn't aware

the capital's become so unregulated!

-Sir, you're mistaken! It's Duke Cheng! He- -I can't afford to have you call me Sir.

In my eyes, you've wasted all your reading.

You've abandoned your ideals and thrown away your care for citizen's lives!

Ask your conscience.

Is there anything wrong with Duke Cheng's actions?

[Chaos to the Country]

Zhu Shan thanks Sir for his words of defense.

However, these scholars are innocent.

They must've remained in the capital for too long,

-so that they are unaware that they have been lied to. -Duke Cheng

is certainly forgiving.

These scholars insult you such,

yet you can still remain calm and just.

How rare and valuable.

However, in my eyes,

those are were tricked

can be forgiven,

but those evil beings who purposefully lead them,

they have no right to study or become an official!

Make way!

Duke Cheng, please.

Thank you, Sir.

Where is Duke Cheng now?

Duke Cheng has brought tens of thousands of homeless northern citizens up to the city gate.

He'll probably enter the city within the time it takes to burn half a stick of incense.

Tens of thousands of homeless Northern citizens?

They've silently reached the outside of the city?

I never realized

that Zhu Shan is using the people's opinion to deal with me.

Duke Cheng. Are you rebelling right now?

If you're saying Duke Cheng convicted a crime then we're guilty too.

Yeah.

We all displaced citizens

from the war in the North.

Do you know what is means to be displaced?

We have no home.

We can't eat or sleep in peace. When foreign invader come, they just kill us.

Everything we have is gone.

Duke Cheng helped us and brought us all the way here.

Y-you all open your mouth and just spew condemnation.

If you want to ask, then ask us!

- That's right. - Exactly!

- Yes! - Just ask us!

- Ask us!

Ask us!

Ask us!

Be quiet.

How dare you act like this in front of the Third Prince.

[Tianyou]

I, Zhu Shan, have not done anything dishonorable.

Following His Majesty's order, I have brought back the citizens of the Three Counties.

I ask Third Prince to ask His Majesty for orders

to help these refugees settle down.

Brother.

Brother.

Congratulations Brother.

When have you gotten so close with Duke Cheng?

I never knew.

What does this have to do with Duke Cheng?

I'm talking about Qi Da Ru, Master Qi

What?

Brother. Didn't you know

Master Qi has retired a long time ago.

No one knows where he went.

And now he has appeared outside the city walls.

Tianyo obtained the Grandmaster of the literary circle.

Of course I am here to congratulate you.

Master Qi is outside the city walls?

Yeah.

Why didn't you tell me such big news?

The messenger didn't say anything.

I didn't know either.

Royal Brother, you must not neglect this matter.

Recently, collecting civilian salaries to reward military generals,

that something the civil servant and scholars

have never accepted.

If Third Prince continues to keep Master Qi outside the city walls,

then if word gets out

wouldn't Tianyou becomes the floating dust and

isolated the scholars of the world outside.

Furthermore, Qing Hebo going to the North,

The Zhu Family's Army would definitely be suspicious.

Why doesn't Royal Brother take this opportunity to get on good terms with Duke Cheng?

This will be helpful for stabilizing military morale.

Once the North is settled,

then the money in the treasury won't be wasted.

Senior Brother, although you let Third Prince and Official Huang take charge of the situation,

you can't let their actions

ruin your reputation.

Send my verbal order.

Let Third Prince open the gates.

Welcome them into the city.

Senior Brother is wise.

Duke Cheng, you're greedy for war and hurt the people.

Do you admit your crime?

Third Prince, if Duke Cheng was greedy for war and hurt the people,

He wouldn't bring these citizens here.

If he was greedy for power, he wouldn't only bring his relatives back to the capital.

He will not admit this vain and nonexistent crime.

If that's true,

then why would Duke Cheng be condemned by everyone throughout the trip?

Am I unpopular or did someone deliberately do this?

Please Third Prince investigate.

Some people read sacred scrolls but then go on to do petty things.

Just based on gossip,

right and wrong have been switched to slander loyal ministers and good generals.

Clearly, you don't care about the Royal Law.

Slandering the Royal Law is you!

You refused to follow many urgent orders.

I have always followed His Majesty's orders.

I have been helping the refugees this entire trip.

I am now returning by His Majesty's order. Third Prince,

how can I look down on the Royal Law?

Third Prince, I am Qi Xuan.

If you still respect this elder.

then quickly open the city gates.

Third Prince, please open the city gates.

Third Prince. You can't.

Because there are tens of thousands of refugees,

one they enter the city, it will be hard to have them settle down.

In all these citizens, there's probably thieves.

Once they enter the city, what will happen?

Third Prince, please open the city gates.

Third Prince, please open the city gates.

Third Prince, please open the city gates.
