=Are You The One=

=Episode 16=

Honey, you've changed.

Why aren't you soaking?

I'm a little drunk.

I need to rest for a while.

Honey.

This peaceful and quiet time

feels somewhat unreal

compared to the recent days.

It's good that it's finally over.

Spending time with you these days,

I feel that you are

much more responsible

and ambitious than I imagined.

When we were in Lingquan Town,

I really thought you were

a Go enthusiast without care about the family.

Though I am the ninth child

in the family,

I am the only legitimate son.

When my father was alive,

he had high hopes for me.

My aunts and brothers

were waiting to see

if I was worthy of taking

on the family business.

I don't

remember all that now.

Before I was born,

Mother had

a hard time at home,

suffering and enduring much hardship.

After I was born,

she endured even more,

keeping a low profile

and being extremely careful

to ensure I grew up safely.

Over the years,

Mother must have had a very tough time.

Yes.

I can only be a good legitimate son,

making no mistakes,

to be recognized by everyone,

and to be worthy of her hard work.

You're still young,

bearing the weight of this family.

Isn't it exhausting?

But with you by my side,

I don't feel as tired.

Looks like I'm your lucky star.

How will you thank me?

What's wrong, honey?

I think I might've strained the injury.

Does the hot spring help? I'll try.

Honey, enjoy the soak.

I'll go change first.

Well.

Sorry to interrupt your pleasant time,

but there's an urgent matter.

You need to return.

I understand.

My husband is changing.

Physician Zhao, please wait a moment.

The military affairs are pressing,

so I have to disturb you.

That's more important.

Ms. Liu, you look quite well.

It seems the hot spring in this valley

is indeed very effective.

After soaking,

I feel my hands are much stronger.

Don't get too happy too soon.

Severe injuries like yours

still take time to recover.

If you use too much force,

it might aggravate the old injuries.

How is he?

After soaking in the hot spring

and drinking the wine you taught me to make,

he looks much better.

The medicinal wine is so effective.

Tomorrow I'll make

another batch of herbs for him.

A whole batch seems excessive.

Is there something wrong?

He drinks so fast.

He might want more.

May I ask

how much did he drink?

Just that pot.

He drank the whole pot.

Did he drink it all?

Did he

have any reactions?

His face was red.

He was sweating profusely.

But sweating after drinking is normal.

Ms. Liu,

I didn't make it clear earlier

Though this medicinal wine

helps with qi and blood,

it shouldn't be consumed in excess.

Normally,

this much daily

is sufficient.

What happens if you drink too much?

As you mentioned.

Red face and sweating.

It depletes vital energy

and is bad for the body.

Come on.

Prepare the horse.

Take the madam back.

Yes.

You go down first.

I'll be there soon.

There's something

I haven't told you.

If you're upset, it's fine

- if you don't tell me. - Not the same.

Give me some time.

Once the war is over,

when we return,

I'll tell you everything.

The wine is good.

My Lord.

After all night,

A Gushan has finally spoken.

But he says he won't confess unless he sees you.

Let's go.

I heard you wanted to see me.

Cui Xingzhou.

Cui Xingzhou.

I command elite troops,

far superior to your troops.

Yet, I was defeated by you

due to a single mistake.

I'm not here today

to listen to your grievances

about the defeat.

If you haven't figured out

what you need to confess,

I have time to wait

for you to think it through.

This battle wasn't a provocation from my side.

The events have unfolded to this point.

The officials of your country

are also to blame.

You're here.

I came to see you and the child.

How are you?

Childbirth is like walking

on the edge of the underworld.

Ms. Lin.

I have something to ask you.

If I tell you the truth,

can you ensure I won't die?

The decision is up to His Majesty.

I will report what you say truthfully.

If everything you say is true,

you might receive a lighter punishment.

Good.

I'll speak.

I was the adopted son of the former Wolf Lord.

To obtain the boundless wealth

of the western tribes,

I killed him.

The former Wolf Lord is dead now.

The western tribes and Mount Tiebei

are now under my control.

So you are the new Wolf Lord.

Nice to meet you.

I'll be straightforward.

I came here to discuss

the iron ore business

of Mount Tiebei.

That person led a raid

and slaughtered my brothers.

If I don't avenge them,

I'm unworthy to be the Wolf Lord.

Is that why you invaded my country?

You Qi people broke the agreement first,

so you should pay the price.

Is what you just said

all true?

If there's a single lie,

may I be torn apart by five horses

and die a miserable death.

What you said before

is the common language in our tribes.

The accent is almost perfect.

Unless you have lived in the tribes for a long time

or have dealt with people from the tribes,

you wouldn't have learned so well.

I've never heard of our kingdom

having an iron trade with the western tribes.

Cui Xingzhou,

this must be taken seriously.

Iron mine has always belonged to the court.

Private trade is a serious taboo.

It's considered treason.

How could a mere governor of Xizhou City

dare to do this?

This must not be his doing alone.

There must be a major backing him.

He's secretly managing

a large-scale iron ore trade,

even resorting to a disastrous war

to cover up everything.

The key is where the black iron

that entered our kingdom

ended up.

The western tribes are brave

and will revenge.

It's precisely because

they saw their brothers killed

that they fought with their lives in this war.

Empress Dowager Wu deliberately

pushed you into a dead-end.

The western tribes

have become her death warriors.

I'm afraid she

is also kept in the dark.

(Sealed in Xuanwen's second year)

Be careful.

One tree can't survive.

A lone wolf is lost.

A solitary tree cannot survive.

A lone wolf cannot run.

It's better to recite it

in our language.

The wolf is the most loyal animal.

On the wasteland,

wolves travel in pairs.

They only have one partner in their lifetime.

If the partner dies,

the wolf will not live alone.

Did I wake you by covering you with a blanket?

Honey, I just fell asleep.

I saw you frowning all the time.

Had a nightmare?

No.

I'm just a bit tired.

Honey.

What will you do

to the prisoners?

Why do you suddenly care?

Yesterday,

when I returned to the village with Mrs. Wen,

we saw a group of prisoners.

They talked about it on the way,

and I was a bit curious.

Those boundless rumors

scared you.

The handling of prisoners

depends on the court's decision.

If peace talks are held,

they might not be executed.

Those collaborators

will definitely be executed and displayed.

For worse crimes, their families

will be implicated.

What's this?

Today, a wolf

accidentally entered the camp.

They captured it.

The wolf's tail is very hard.

Perfect for making a brush

for you to practice writing.

Is this

made of the wolf's tail?

Don't like it?

It's not that.

I just heard

in the wasteland, wolves travel in pairs.

If one is captured and killed,

their partner cannot live alone.

I also know that wolves are revered here.

It was released.

Don't worry about it.

I just suddenly remembered

this saying I heard before.

You seem quite familiar with this place.

Today, Nanny Li told me that you

learned the tribe's language.

What?

How to say the brush?

Of course, I don't know.

I only know

a few simple phrases.

Honey, what's wrong?

I noticed you

look unwell.

You need to rest well.

I'll leave early later.

There's military business tonight.

I'll take care of myself.

Don't worry.

My Lord.

There's news from Xizhou.

Tell me.

A Gushan has been defeated

and captured by Lord Huaiyang.

The situation

may change.

My Lord,

when we led the troops for a surprise attack,

we caused A Gushan to lose control and invade.

We wanted them to suffer from the war

and wipe out the clues to the iron business.

This was a perfect plan.

A Gushan is an incompetent fool.

I'm worried that if Cui Xingzhou

continues to investigate,

the Mount Tiebei business

might come to light.

That day will never come.

Let Yun'er handle it properly.

As for the Mount Tiebei,

it ends here.

Yes.

You just won a victory.

Why are you wary

of foreign merchants like us?

We'll finish unloading

and leave at once.

Hu Rongge.

You worked for the former Wolf Lord.

Since you already know,

I have nothing left to hide.

We came to Wuning Town this time

not with ill intentions,

but to welcome the exiled Princess Chunyue

of the former Wolf Lord.

I understand.

Otherwise, you wouldn't

have come so smoothly.

The name of Princess Chunyue here

should be Lin Siyue, right?

My Lord.

She's here.

You...

I've only heard

of a male bird in spring

plucking its tail feathers

to pretend to be a female

and avoid conflicts,

trying to reproduce.

I didn't expect a lord

to disguise himself as a centurion

to deceive a woman.

The men of your country

truly are the most hypocritical.

How dare you!

Lord Huaiyang will not tolerate slander.

Huang Gui.

Princess Chunyue,

today I can either let you go

or detain you under the guise

of a spy.

My Lord.

If you wanted to detain me,

you wouldn't have waited until Hu Rongge arrived.

I heard that A Gushan

killed your father

and replaced your royal family.

My defeat of him

was merely to drive the wolves out

and guard the border.

I didn't mean to harm your tribe.

Princess,

you needn't see me as an enemy.

A Gushan's defeat and capture

are what he deserves.

Aside from him,

we have never

interfered with each other.

There's no need for you to overthink my intentions.

Good.

How straightforward.

Please sit.

I invited you here today

to discuss the iron ore business

between the Qi Kingdom and the western tribes.

You know about Mount Tiebei?

Salt and iron are the foundation.

Our kingdom can't tolerate actions

that damage national strength.

If you can provide clues,

not only will I release you,

but I will report it

to open official channels

and facilitate

this mutually beneficial business.

My Lord.

Previously, Qi people did trade iron

with our tribe,

but the person in charge

only worked with the former Wolf Lord.

We were not aware.

I only remember three years ago

seeing a Qi convoy in the western tribes.

Do you remember the convoy's name?

I don't remember.

They were very mysterious,

with their faces covered.

They came to the tribe once a month.

My father personally received them,

so I didn't recognize them.

Later, I got married

and lost contact.

Thank you, Princess.

With the war just ended,

at Jinjia Pass,

there may still be remnants of A Gushan.

I will send a team of elite soldiers

to escort you back.

Just like that?

Just like that.

But afterward, please hand over

the previous ledger to my army

for detailed follow-ups.

Agree.

We have to leave.

My father's turned into a gray wolf.

The ledger is of no use to me now.

I can agree

to give you the ledger.

This is a condition

between the Qi Kingdom and the western tribes.

There's another condition

between me and you.

Another condition?

Please tell me.

Do not reveal my identity

to Liu Miantang.

She has treated me sincerely

and saved my life many times.

Yet you want me to help you deceive her?

I will never harm her.

This is also a promise made

in my name.

I'm a princess now, responsible

for the people behind me.

What right do I have to refuse?

Thank you.

(Medicine)

Mrs. Cui.

Thank you.

I haven't done much.

I will always remember your support

for me and my child,

just like

the spotted cat on the grassland.

I have heard more animals these days

in Wuning Town

than I have seen in my whole life.

Take it.

As a memento.

Coincidentally,

I also have a gift for you.

This is a black iron dagger.

You people rarely see it.

It's only given to the precious friends.

This dagger is made of black iron.

Take it for self-defense.

Take care of yourself.

You too.

Be cautious of your husband.

Be cautious of your husband.

Only dealing with the convoy?

The convoy?

The convoy?

Liu Miantang's family

runs a convoy, doesn't it?

I've checked.

Their Shenwei Escort Agency

began to decline ten years ago.

It only does nearby business,

not reaching as far as the northwest.

Before I return to the capital,

I need to visit Xizhou.

To see the governor, Sheng Zong?

I want to ask him

how he turned

the dirty business

into a war with countless casualties.

The smuggling of iron ore is a great disaster.

If Princess Chunyue's words are true

and trading began three years ago,

then such a large amount of iron ore

has entered our kingdom.

Think the worst of it.

What's it for?

No idea.

Weapons.

What do they intend to do?

Cui Xingzhou.

You narrowly escaped death.

You shouldn't push your luck.

Besides,

even if someone intends to rebel,

the current Empress Dowager is unjust.

She always wants to kill you.

Why do you risk your life for her?

I've made up my mind.

(Xizhou)

I'm Sheng Zong, Governor of Xizhou City.

Welcome, Lord Huaiyang.

When we asked you for provisions,

you claimed to be ill and stopped going out.

It seems you've recovered well now,

even running to welcome the Lord.

My Lord, you may not know.

When I heard the Zhenzhou army was lacking provisions,

I was indeed anxious.

However,

the court's orders for Xizhou

were only to defend the city.

Currently,

Xizhou is facing a year of famine.

I was so anxious

that I caught a cold.

I had no time to make arrangements.

I could only burn three incense sticks daily,

wishing you victory

in every fight.

I won the battle

thanks to your incense.

You flatter me.

You have quelled the western tribes' turmoil,

a great contribution to the court.

How could I be negligent?

That's why I came personally

to welcome the army

into the city to rest.

Good.

Governor.

Finding the prisoners?

I captured A Gushan alive.

Please put the entire city under martial law

and carefully guard them.

Yes, My Lord.

Please come in.

Look around as you like.

Madam.

What's wrong?

Is it your headache again?

Stop the carriage.

Stop the carriage.

What's going on?

The officials here

are so lazy.

The pass records must be moldy.

Let's split to find them according

to the ledger.

The camel is here, isn't it?

The camel!

Don't throw it around.

Look over there.

Isn't that the camel?

The camel!

- Ms. Xu. - Coming.

Your veggies.

Thank you.

And this.

A toy after he's born.

Thank you.

Do you like it? The camel?

Look over there.

Do you like it?

Madam?

Nanny Li.

You should go back.

I want to take a walk alone.

- No, no. - Don't follow me.

(Escort)

On this trip back,

you can find a wife.

Miantang,

look at all the girls on the street.

There are all kinds of them.

Why should I stick to just one woman?

(Guanghe Tower)

Madam?

Come.

Are you alright?

I'm still worried,

so I followed you.

Sitting in the carriage

makes me feel dizzy.

Let's go.

Sure.

The master specially

asked the Lord

for this villa,

so that you could

rest and recover here.

Where is he?

He has military duties today,

so he probably won't come back.

Nanny Li.

The courtyard is spacious.

Arrange for everyone to stay here.

Everyone?

Mr. Fan.

Come out.

Stop hiding.

I saw you

on the street just now.

Madam.

Didn't you join the army?

Why are you following me

instead of the Zhenzhou army?

Well.

It must be a coincidence.

It's really a stroke of luck.

Yes, yes. What a coincidence.

What a coincidence.

So it was arranged by my husband.

No, no, no.

Yes, yes.

After we joined the army,

we just happened to follow Mr. Cui.

He said

there are many remnants disturbing

the soldiers' families,

so we should be wary of the surroundings

and protect you.

Yes, yes, yes.

Of course.

And other soldier's families.

Yes, yes, yes.

Since it's a military order,

why be so sneaky?

Sneaky?

Sneaky? We?

Are we sneaky?

- No, no. - No.

No.

Madam, it's me.

We're just

a bunch of men.

We're afraid of disturbing you,

so...

But don't worry.

We're only doing routine patrols.

We won't disturb your life.

Yes, yes, yes.

Nowadays, there are

very few men as considerate and attentive

as the master.

You...

Please don't disregard his kindness.

Anyway, Mr. Fan and the others

have joined the master's team.

Let them stay with us.

Just don't be

so sneaky and frightening in the future.

Yes.

Nanny Li.

Let them move their luggage in.

Arrange for everyone to stay here.

Prepare a good meal.

Make sure they enjoy it.

Yes.

- Thanks, Madam. - Thanks, Madam.

Come with me.

Take it slow.

- Aren't you eating? - I'm not eating.

You might not have enough.

Just made you check the pass documents for half a day.

Is it really necessary?

Cui Xingzhou.

Are you still human?

I...

I'm a lord.

Not your family's helpers,

who will help you

check this and that.

Alright.

Thank you.

Pour it up.

Let me serve it for the Lord.

Thank you again, My Lord.

Is that it?

What else?

Would you just brush it off

if Liu Miantang gets mad?

My wife is understanding

and won't be so wilful.

See for yourself.

What to see?

Pingyuan Escort Agency.

The agency was established three years ago.

There are a total of 21 escorts.

The convoy comes to Xizhou City every month,

despite the weather.

The agency's pass records

match the ledger

Lin Siyue provided.

But since A Gushan replaced

the former Wolf Lord six months ago,

the iron ore business stopped,

and the agency's pass records

also stopped.

That is indeed suspicious.

My Lord,

as you wish, the city gates have been closed.

Good for you.

That's it?

Yes.

This is the name list of the escort agency.

They claim

to be locals of Xizhou.

But I think

you should have Huang Gui

verify each person carefully.

No need to verify each one.

(Qiulin Xian)

Don't find it strange.

My great-grandmother's surname is Qiu.

It's not a rare surname.

Don't find it strange?

His surname isn't Qiu but Qiulin.

I've seen this surname in Beizhou.

Only western tribes people use this surname.

Do you mean...?

They use such ambiguous surnames

to facilitate dealing.

between two places?

It's raining so heavily.

(Music and Ink) Why are you sitting outside?

Honey, you're back.

Is your hand hurting?

Let me see.

Is it here?

Let me do it.

No, it's nothing.

It's gonna work this time.

I see this corner is just like this one.

I see.

What's wrong?

I was thinking about you.

You're an excellent Go player

and a brave fighter,

but you can't manage a corner of a quilt.

Honey,

were we in the capital

at this time last year?

Yes, we were in the capital.

We were doing porcelain business.
