Episode 11

Stay where you are!

Yang Shao, let go of Feng Qiao.

Don't come close, Shiyi.

I have but one request.

Give me Liu Changshan.

What do you want him for?

That's none of your business.

Just bring him here.

Go get him.

Yes.

Don't come close.

Yang Shao,

if I had known

you were so ungrateful,

I wouldn't have helped you.

Miss Cui,

I have my reason to save him.

Stay where you are!

Don't push him.

He won't hurt Shiyi.

General Yang.

You are finally here to save me.

Cut the crap and come with me.

Prepare a carriage for me

outside the city.

Prepare a carriage.

Yes.

Please excuse me, Miss Cui.

You don't know Kung Fu,

which makes you a better choice as a hostage.

Come.

Yongcheng

You drive the carriage!

Your Highness,

I won't hurt her.

You can follow me.

Once I make it to Nanxiao in one piece,

I will let her go.

Yang Shao,

if you so much as harm a hair on her head,

whether you go beyond south of the river,

the Gobi Desert in the west,

or even to the underworld,

I will personally

take your life.

I have no other choice.

Your Highness, I am sorry for doing this.

Get me a horse!

Yes, Your Highness.

Xiao Yan, do something.

Nanxiao is your homeland.

The transportation between the South and the North is smooth.

It won't be a problem for them to go there.

However, since it is His Highness,

it would definitely cause a stir

if people found out he was in Nanxiao.

Isn't that obvious?

Scouting Camp,

get on your horses.

We'll follow them in secret to protect His Highness and Shiyi.

Yes!

I have been holding the sword

all this way.

My arm is about to come off.

You are being followed by Zhousheng Chen.

You dare to lower that sword

but have not fear of being decapitated?

General Yang,

the best thing I ever did in my life

was putting in a good word for you.

There's not much to eat around here,

so have some of this.

Master hasn't eaten anything

for a day.

He cares a lot about you.

Otherwise, why would a noble prince

be willing to risk his life coming here alone

and follow you to Nanxiao?

He is my master.

Whatever it is,

he cares about you.

My oh my.

It turns out

your affair

is no less serious than

my treason.

Aren't you marrying the Prince of Guangling?

The engagement was canceled.

He is just my master.

When we make it to Nanxiao tomorrow,

remember you mustn't say anything about who you are.

If someone found out and came after you,

I can't guarantee your safety.

Have some of this.

Give it to my master.

This is the only chicken I got.

Even I feel reluctant to eat it.

He hasn't eaten anything

for a day and a night.

There's two of you

so you two can take turns to hunt for food.

But he can only starve.

If you don't give him food,

I am not going to eat either.

I'll have it.

The master-disciple relationship you have sure is touching.

Here's some food your disciple got for you!

I will charter the two boats.

This one,

is for him.

My mother said

you had to come back to Jingling with me this time

and you had to explain to them

in person,

about why you married my sister without their consent.

If you can't give an explanation,

she will not be coming back with you.

Get on the boat.

The bastard's full of tricks.

General,

what do we do now?

Get our men to the bank of the river

and wait for furthur orders.

If their identity is exposed,

we need to be ready to cross the river.

Set sail, follow him.

Go to Shouyang immediately

and tell General Cui

to get ready to send out troops.

Yes.

You northerners

love to elope, huh?

Not really.

I won't blame your brother-in-law

for being so mad.

You have to go back with him,

prepare a bride-price, perform a formal wedding ceremony,

and bow before your parents to express your gratitude for their upbringing.

After that,

you bring your bride home.

All right.

However,

the lady over there is constantly looking back.

I guess it won't be hard for you

this time.

You know how parents are.

As long as their daughter shows affection,

they won't give you a hard time.

You can see

that she's into me?

The moment you stepped on the boat,

her gaze

were fixed on you.

Who do you think is in her heart

other than you?

This is your first time to Nanxiao?

You saved me twice, I owe you.

This is a military stronghold of the South.

Be careful of what you say.

Let's go.

Give me the Tiger Tally.

Yang Shao,

did you bring me to Nanxiao

just for the tally?

The favor of your recommendation

is now returned.

I will give you a hint to save yourself.

Bring the news of the second Prince, Xiaoyan

to the Emperor of Nanxiao.

He loves his son very much,

thus he will for sure accommodate you.

Now hand out the Tiger Tally.

The rest of your stragglers

are now mine.

What are you doing?

I hate a ruthless traitor like you

the most.

The next time I see you,

I will kill you myself.

It's all my fault that I got you involved.

It's nothing like that.

If it weren't for this occasion,

I am afraid

you will never get the chance to come here.

You said it as if you set this up

on purpose.

But seriously,

I had given some thoughts that

one day when the Central Plains are united,

I'll take you here.

It's true.

Move aside!

Out of the way!

Why did you let out a sigh, Master?

It just occurred to me

that you had never

fought alongside me.

What a pity.

We can do that in the future.

Yeah, we can.

Guards, hurry!

I need to see your prefectural governor.

Now!

Who are you?

I am a member of the royal family of Beichen.

Liu Changshan.

Bring me to your prefectural governor, now.

General.

What's the fuss about?

The junior Prince of Nanchen is in the city.

Bring me to see your prefectural governor, now!

Who did you say it was?

The junior Prince of Nanchen.

Zhousheng Chen!

Close the city gate.

There is a carriage pulled by goats.

People in Jiangling

are pretty unconstrained.

Not only do they use goats to pull carts.

There was even a General Shen in the Former Song Dynasty,

who would ride a bizarre carriage

every time he met the emperor.

It was called the pig-nose valance-less car.

All the officials didn't think it was strange.

On the contrary, they loved it.

Pig-nose valance-less car?

Get out of the way, get out of the way!

Get out of the way, get out of the way!

Get out of the way, get out of the way!

Get out of the way!

What do you think happened?

Why are there so many troops?

I'll tell you what,

the junior Prince of Nanchen is right here in the city.

No one knows what happened.

Isn't...

Isn't there a peace treaty between the South and the North?

Exactly! Why did the prince come here

when everything is okay?

The city gates are now closed

and no one is allowed to go in or out.

Let' get out of here.

Let's go home, go home now.

Let's go.

It looks like we are going to stay here a few more days.

Are we not figuring out a way to send information out of the city?

There is no hurry.

So where are we going now?

Let's go to someone I know here.

You know someone in the South?

An old friend of mine who happens to be around here.

It's so beautiful here.

Adjacent to the river and the mountain.

It would be great if we could unite the Central Plains sooner.

So that people from the south could see

our lofty ancient cities and vast deserts

and we could enjoy the mountains and rivers here.

How nice that would be.

There's still an hour's walk,

can you take it?

When Master was away,

I used to go around

all the temples in the Western State

to lit up incense and pray for the Royal Army.

That's why I got strong legs.

You can't call me "Master" here.

It will reveal our identity.

Yes, Master.

I understood.

Are you going up the mountain?

Yes.

Then you need to hurry.

The teacher of this academy

is grumpy

and won't receive visitors

after sunset.

It doesn't matter if you have to spend the night in the mountains,

it's just that

your wife would have a hard time.

What?

This is a land full of great people and natural wonders.

Oh yeah?

I like this place.

I like the mountains,

the water,

and even what the people say.

Longkang Academy

Longkang Academy

Do you know how to get there?

Longkang Academy

That's our teacher.

Miss, you do not need to ponder.

You will see him in a bit.

Sir.

I can't believe it.

This is the famous

young master from Zhou family in the Western State.

All of you are dismissed.

I need to catch up with my old friend.

Yes, Sir.

I thought we would never

see each other again.

You must be

the Princess of Nanchen.

I...

She is the daughter of one of my acquaintances.

Of the Cui family in Beichen.

Cui Shiyi.

Oh, so you are the daughter of his acquaintance.

The Cui family.

A family of top-notch advisors to Beichen.

It is my pleasure to meet you.

This is Mr. Huan from Longkang.

Huan Yu.

My family used to say that the Huan family in Longkang

is home to three generations of royal mentors

who educated five emperors in total.

I never thought...

You never thought

you would be able see

the descendant of the Huan family in Longkang.

I'm sorry.

The entire Huan family in Longkang

was executed.

Those who made a narrow escape

have mostly changed their names

and left their hometown.

What a disaster it was.

But those things happened to my ancestors,

let's talk about what's happening at present.

Do you know

that my life

was saved

by your fiancé?

She's not my fiancé.

Did I just make another mistake?

My guesses are usually pretty good.

We have been travelling for days

and haven't had

a proper meal.

Let's talk after the meal.

Yes, let's talk after the meal.

He didn't mention anything

about how you saved him.

Do you want him

to continue?

If he continues,

things won't be as simple

as being your fiancé.

He is a great man,

except that tongue of his.

Weren't you complimenting

that his family is home to three generations of royal mentors

who educated five emperors in total.

He's your friend.

I can't go wrong complimenting him.

Master, you haven't taken a proper meal

for the past few days.

You must have more today.

Here.

I can help myself.

It seems she really is hungry.

Here, this is your favorite.

Master, try this.

I have never seen this in Beichen.

It is called bamboo mushrooms.

It seems I am the unlearned person.

Is it good?

Sir, your two friends.

What's their relationship?

Do you see anything

between their eyes?

Between their eyes?

There's nothing there.

Is there something?

Affection.

So, are we preparing a single room tonight?

Naturally.

Do we prepare it as a bridal chamber?

As someone educated,

we must have some self-restraint.

If they didn't say anything,

we should not point it out for them.

Go on.

Wait.

But it should also be graceful.

I understood.

Grand Mentor.

What you said is true?

What do you think, Your Majesty?

In my opinion,

the Nanxiao's troops have been quite

because of my uncle

and his hundreds of thousands of troops

who are defending our borders.

Now that my uncle is trapped.

If something happens to him,

then Nanxiao would

take the chance

to harass our borders at Beichen.

On the contrary, in my humble opinion,

not only will Nanxiao not give His Highness a hard time,

they would even send him

back to Beichen safe and sound.

Your Majesty,

the peace negotiation we had with the South

on the Frontier Settlement Tower

has made it possible that there would be no more conflict in Nanxiao.

The people are now living and working in a peaceful environment.

If His Highness was found dead in Nanxiao,

it will undoubtably cause a dispute between the two countries

and ignite the flames of war once more.

And the people in Nanxiao

would be thrown back to agony again.

You have made a good point.

Longkang Academy

This is the only room left.

You two will have to make do tonight.

I remember last time when I was here,

the adjacent room is also a guest room.

That room

is filled with things right now.

It's true.

It smells so good.

There are many bugs and insects in the mountain.

Burning some incense at night

will deter the insects.

The curtains will also help.

That's very considerate.

One?

Mas...

I am sorry.

It doesn't matter.

My wife used to

love to pull the corner of my clothes.

You two must be tired

after a long journey.

You should rest early.

There are wild monkeys in the mountain,

make sure your windows are closed at night.

There is only one bed here,

how are we going to sleep here?

I will sleep on the floor.

You didn't sleep well following me all the way here.

I suggest you sleep on the bed.

Didn't you say that

I slept on the beach with numerous bones after getting drunk?

If I can do that,

why can't I sleep on the floor?

We have learned that

they are in Jiangling.

The military strongholds of the South,

one is Jiangling,

the other is Chaisang.

We are in trouble now.

What a piece of scum Yang Shao is

that he would know how to use this to hinder us.

Before sunset,

Jiangling has closed its city gates.

No one is allowed to go in or out.

They have started to search for

Master and Shiyi.

Don't worry.

From what I know about your master,

he should be at ease

and enjoying his trip to Nanxiao.

You have been saying "don't worry" the whole night,

can't you come up with any solution?

Do you think I'm your military advisor?

After my foster father left,

you are our adviser, aren't you?

The prefectural governor of Jiangling is someone mediocre.

He became intimidated by the fame of the junior Prince of Nanchen

and only thought about closing the gate to search for them.

But so what after they found them?

Would he kill them?

If so, that would be an unwanted disaster

for the city of Jiangling.

His people are living a good life.

If he starts a war,

then he's foolish.

What if it were you?

What would you do?

If it were me,

I would pretend as if nothing had happened

and that I had never heard about it.

I would open the gate

and let His Highness go about freely.

But what if your father blamed this on him?

I am sorry.

There's nothing to be sorry about.

Everyone in the world knows

that he is my father.

The Emperor of Nanxiao

is definitely hoping that his officials

would let His Highness go in secret.

The South and the North has already made a peace treaty.

If he ever offended His Highness at this moment,

it won't do him any good.

Now that things have become like this.

Everyone in the city knows.

Who would let him go secretly?

After all, what's on the emperor's mind is the hardest to guess.

You guys

were really in sync just now.

General Feng.

Why do you always

look so worried, as if the sky is going to collapse?

My master is across the bank,

trapped in the city of Jiangling.

That, to me, is like the sky is collapsing.

It's them who should be terrified,

not us.

After all, our army is

approaching their borders.

They are now sending out troops to search for us.

Within ten days,

they will surely find us in the academy.

No need for ten days.

This is a military stronghold

with plenty of soldiers.

They will find us in about three days.

So, shall we leave?

No need for that.

The prefectural governor will receive a secret edict

telling him not to find me

in the city of Jiangling.

Because their emperor

doesn't want to start a war

because of this.

There are numerous relations among the world,

every one of them is different from each other.

Sir,

what did you hear?

Hush!

I didn't hear a thing.

But they would have heard everything you said.

Go, guard the door for Her Lady.

Okay.

There are so many wild monkeys tonight.

I am driving them away with my attendant

at the door.

It's getting late now,

my wife

is expecting me to go back to sleep.

I gave you

my best bamboo room.

You should feel sorry

if you mess this opportunity up.

How did you save Mr. Huan?

Some time ago,

robbers broke into the Huan family's academy.

He took his collections of books, ran to the wilderness,

and almost died there.

I happened to be there while with my troops,

so I saved him.

Once a family like his

lost their glory,

all the collections of ancient books,

and treasures handed down for generations

will get him killed.

I had met this kind of families a couple of times

in my earlier years.

As they couldn't live in the North,

I would send troops to escort them across the river

and help them escape to the South.

There was also a branch of the Cui family that once traveled to the South.

Some of the aristocratic families went to South to seek asylum,

while some went to the North to earn a living.

They are like wild geese migrating between the North and the South

in order to survive.

Yeah.

Like the people we met

who fled their hometown.

They were all doing this

just to survive.

I haven't lived a laid-back life like this

for a long time.

My senior brothers and senior sisters

must be terribly worried,

yet you say we're having a laid-back time.

In the past,

I have always been the one who worried about them.

Now it's their turn

to worry about me.

You are the master

but you still care about that?

Don't you remember?

Xiaoyu and Tianxing

are about my age.

While other disciples

are only a few years younger than me.

That's what the monk said as well.

Only he

knows how hard it is for me.

I know as well.

You did it on purpose.

Did what on purpose?

To air your grievances and get my empathy.

Why would I

lie to you yo get your empathy?

I give up.

All right, time to sleep.

Why are you not sleeping on the bed

but on the floor?

I have slept on the floor before.

The day you took me to see the retainers,

I slept in you study.

That was on the floor as well.

That time,

you covered me with a fox fur

and carried me back in your arms.

That fox fur

is still kept in my room.

If you like it,

I can make a new one for you.

That's the only one I like.

Your Highness,

you have staring at it all night.

It's time for you to take your medicine.

Why don't you love me?

You would rather be a disciple

of Zhousheng Chen

than marry me

and become a prestigious princess.

If you want,

I can give up everything for you.

I can bring you out of the Central State,

this troubled land.

Yes.

I may not understand this kind of thing,

but Your Highness can't

overlook your own health.

Please take your medicine first.

Put it here

and leave.

Yes, Your Highness.

They are all students from impoverished families.

They heard that someone from the Cui family came to the academy,

and vied to get the opportunity

to talk about poetry and Taoism with you.

You've read a lot of books since you were a kid.

Just share your opinion with them

as a pastime.

Though I have read plenty, I may not understand everything.

Take me and Zhousheng Chen for example,

people at our age

won't say that we understand everything we read.

In terms of the amount of book collections in the North,

the Cui family comes first.

Most of what you have read,

I have never had the privilage

to read them.

It would be of great help

if you can share it with all of them.

After hearing what you said, I'm glad to do it.

I'm not skilled or very knowledgeable,

I merely took advantage of

the book collections at home.

Please don't take my words too seriously

and treat this as a casual exchange.

We'd be more than happy

to have you share your thoughts.

This way please.

This is brilliant.

How do you feel for the first time

that you are not surrounded

by everyone?

Great.

I'm sure

you'll be like me in the future,

a person that fears his wife.

What?

Brilliant!

Impressive, impressive!

You are watching them shoot arrows?

Wanna have a try?

Go and try it.

Is it allowed in the academy?

For an outsider to do this?

I am in charge here

while he commands the army.

Who dares to say no?

She seems to like lively places.

It's rare for her to be somewhere there are many people.

I was often away from my mansion.

For the past few years,

she was only accompanied by one of her servants

and the home library.

Having heard that,

she is indeed a poor girl.

Impressive, very impressive.

Look at that, that's really something.

Did you teach her?

I have never taught her archery.

Mas...

Did you see that?

Who taught you that?

The mansion's shooting range is always empty

and I found myself idle most of the time.

So I learnt it secretly.

You're fairly accurate.

But your posture needs fixing.

Here.

Ready.

♫Like a gust of wind gently brushing♫

♫Like a cloud waiting for the rain to fall♫

♫There is a corner in my heart♫

♫Where my expectation is glowing♫

♫It's the shooting star lighting up the night sky for you♫

The bows in our academy are

all given by the hunters.

They are not

as light as the ones from your mansion.

I should've warned you

so that you wouldn't injure your shoulders.

She needs help with the injury behind her shoulder.

I can apply it myself.

This medicine

requires some rubbing with your palms

in order to take effect.

It's a pity

that my academy is full of male students.

So no one can help you.

Do you mind

asking your wife to help me?

She won't see visitors.

Help yourselves.

I will leave you two be.

Apply the medicine on your own first

and call me after you've covered your shoulder with a cloth.

I am ready.

Did I

say something wrong just now?

You mean about Mrs. Huan?

I'll find a time

and take you to see her later.
