Just hang in there!
Xiao Qi, if you don't let me go, I'll behead you and destroy Ningshuo!
Shut up!
If we want to enter Cheng, Ningshuo is our only hope.
Can't imagine you've guarded Ningshuo for over ten years and fought against enemies numerous times.
But now you are returning as a traitor.
- General... - General Shall we shoot?
Hold on.
Are they headed by a man and a woman?
Seems right.
Who are you at the gate?
Lord Yuzhang and Princess Consort Yuzhang!
General, please open the gate!
The Lord and Her Grace are still alive!
Our lord is alive, he wasn't dead!
Our lord is alive, he wasn't dead!
Men, open the gate!
Stop!
General Liu.
General Mu, is he really the Lord?
Yes.
General, I beg you, please open the gate and welcome them.
Lord Yuzhang is a traitor to the imperial court.
The military order is still on the gate.
If we let them enter privately a death sentence is waiting for us!
General, whether Lord Yuzhang is a traitor depends on public view.
I have received a secret letter from Count Suyi, asking me to protect Her Grace with my life.
Man at the gate, are you Lord Yuzhang?
Yes.
Soldiers, go and arrest the traitor Xiao Qi!
General!
General!
The traitor story just came from one side.
Lord Yuzhang has made great achievements on the battlefield.
How could he betray Cheng?
I hope you can let the Lord come in and let him explain.
My men in Ningshuo, the court has slandered me as a traitor!
I'll definitely find the truth!
My wife is innocent and all the people behind me are Cheng people.
Please, just open the gate and let them in.
General, please open the gate.
The wanted order is still on the wall.
You want to disobey the order?
General, a large group of military forces are approaching us.
Xiao Qi does have reinforcements!
He is tricky!
Archers, ready for your bows.
In order to save my wife, I kidnapped Helan Tuo.
They are coming here to save him.
Please open the gate quickly.
Don't let the Hulan soldiers kill our people.
General, it'll be too late if you don't open the gate.
The Hulan soldiers move fast.
Once we open the gate, they will attack our city!
If anything happens, who will be responsible for it?
General!
So we just watch here and let the enemy take Lord Yuzhang away?
I'll lead troops out of the city.
Stop!
Take him down!
General!
Hold!
It must be a trick!
The traitor Lord Yuzhang colludes with the foreigners, aiming to overturn our court.
Who has guts to ask me to open the gate today will be punished by the martial law!
The Hulan enemy is about to take Ningshuo down.
Shoot!
General!
Anyone disobeying my order will be beheaded!
Please don't, General!
- General!
- General!
At the gate, they are our people and Lord Yuzhang.
We can't shoot them!
We can't let them go in the Ningshuo!
Get Prince Tuo back!
Retreat.
Everyone, don't panic!
Back off!
I'm here.
No one can hurt you!
Live together, die together.
- My Lord!
- My Lord!
My Lord, I'm sorry I'm late.
Please forgive me, My Lord, Your Grace!
I'm deemed a traitor in the imperial order.
I'm sorry for getting you involved.
Rise, please.
Ningshuo Army welcomes Lord Yuzhang, and Princess Consort Yuzhang.
My Lord, we have been following you for over ten years and served the country with all our hearts.
We can't believe you would be a traitor, Mu Lord.
If the imperial court truly wants to blame us, let them kill me.
As long as you're here, we'll be your soldiers forever!
Be loyal to the Lord!
Be loyal to the Lord!
Be loyal to the Lord!
Be loyal to the Lord!
Today, I swear to God.
As long as I'm alive, I'll vindicate those soldiers who died in the frame-up and get justice for them!
Be loyal to the Lord!
Be loyal to the Lord!
Be loyal to the Lord!
Be loyal to the Lord!
Be loyal to the Lord!
I'm here for saving my wife and don't want to fight with you.
If one day, you dare to come again, you'll not have the chance to go back home!
Let him go.
My Lord.
Do it.
Xiao Qi!
Listen carefully!
I'll kill you, sooner or later!
My Lord, General Liu was appointed here by the imperial court.
While General Tang Jing left and looked for you, he refused to open the gate and arrested General Mu!
Under that situation, I had to bring him under control.
Untie him.
Untie him.
General Liu, they have offended you.
For what they've done, I apologize to you.
It's fine, It's fine.
Ningshuo Army have always defeated the enemies, just because we worked together and stayed together with all our hearts.
I've been a little bit tough to you.
General Liu, please forget my rudeness.
What happened today... Let it pass.
In the future, no one is allowed to mention it again.
Yes.
Yes.
Ningshuo Army disobeyed the imperial order.
The news will fly to the Capital.
We don't know how the imperial court would punish us.
How to punish us?
When I arrive there, I'll know it.
If you lead troops towards the Capital, isn't it a clear evidence of treason?
In the battle of the Hunting Ground, so many soldiers died, for nothing without justice.
I have to go.
I have to find out the truth.
Zitan has promised to exchange a town for you.
Meanwhile, the Imperial Mausoleum was destroyed by lightning.
Under such circumstances, he's been trapped in the Capital, by noble clans whose leader is Prime Minister Wen.
Now the whole county is out of control and there are full of rebellions.
Ningshuo Army have the responsibility to protect and save our country.
We couldn't just be watching.
However, this trip will be full of challenges.
You've been just out of danger.
Just stay in Ningshuo.
You don't want me to go, since you think if at last I find the truth, I'm unable to face some old friends, right?
My Lord, since we met, we've been through so many things.
In my heart, you're the most important one.
Wherever you go, I'll be by your side.
All right.
Live together, die together.
Urgent report!
Urgent report!
Urgent report!
Your Majesty.
Say it.
Lord Yuzhang is alive and he brought Princess Consort Yuzhang back from Hulan.
Still alive?
I mean Lord Yuzhang is alive?
He's a traitor!
Not Lord Yuzhang!
I'm sorry for my mistake.
So Your Majesty, how would you treat this traitor?
He killed the late emperor and deserves to die!
How could I spare his life?
Then, what about his wife?
Awu is safe.
Good news from Ningshuo.
It's been half a year since the coup on Mount Lianyu.
Although you didn't say anything, I know, Father, you've been worried about Awu.
Like I said, my daughter isn't a common girl.
She couldn't die readily.
But my son-in-law...
He's also uncommon.
Father, you're worried because Xiao Qi is alive?
I don't think I'm the only one who worries.
Everyone can see that there're so many doubts for the coup on Mount Lianyu.
Apparently, someone tried to set up Xiao Qi.
If Xiao Qi died, the crime of murdering the late emperor would be on him.
But he survived.
This would not be an end.
Time for Awu to return.
On that day, Wang Xuan and I... You forget your role.
How dare you call her by her name!
No matter before or now, you should respect her and call her Princess Shangyang.
Now in Cheng, from the imperial court to the local, everything runs disorderly.
The Emperor Zitan is trapped by his subjects.
Armies fight each other.
People have nothing to live on.
Xiao Qi returned, but with the charge of a traitor.
He leads Ningshuo Army south to put down the rebellions.
I don't know what awaits us in the future.
Ningshuo Army has crossed the river.
The defending soldiers on the north side even didn't fight and just let them pass through straightly.
Lord Yuzhang is leading the army and keeps fighting the rebels.
How could the defending soldiers attack him?
Even they did, you think they could win?
Funny!
Xiao Qi himself is a traitor.
Duke Wei, Duke Zhao, we all know the treason of Lord Yuzhang, don't we?
Now the situation is so urgent, but we are still debating.
At that time, Lord Yuzhang didn't want to rebel.
But the court tried hard to exterminate him and Ningshuo Army.
How can he not hate us?
I followed Xiao Qi from the north to the south when he fought for over half a year.
We suppressed the rebels and got rid of the local lords.
We witnessed broken families and starving people.
I saw elders and children on the streets who died of hunger.
I also saw mothers selling themselves only for several days' meals for their children.
I even saw happy soldiers with lovely smiles a day before who were killed on the battlefield right next day.
Within Cheng, people are in great misery.
But the noble class in the Capital are still struggling for power.
A hundred thousand soldiers are marching towards the Capital without being summoned.
What should we do?
Do what?
Anyone here could stop them?
You?
You?
Or Prime Minister Wen?
Count Suyi Count has two hundred thousand soldiers.
For now, he could be the only one who may have chance to challenge Lord Yuzhang.
Governor Gu, don't be silly.
Count Suyi served for Lord Yuzhang.
That's not true.
Circumstances have changed.
The way Count Suyi goes is quite different from that of Lord Yuzhang.
Everyone, I know that.
You all gave him girls and money.
And he accepted everything.
While Lord Yuzhang was suffering, he was promoted all the time.
When Lord Yuzhang arrives in the Capital, something will definitely happen.
You can't say that.
Without any evidence, you can't frame anyone.
What?
You want me to show the evidence?
Alright, stop arguing.
I think I know Lord Yuzhang very well.
If we continue to make him in the traitor position, once he loses his mind and commits crime at one time, our country would be truly in crisis.
So we should step down for now.
Let's ask His Majesty to declare an imperial order to pardon his crime on betrayal and reward his service on defeating the rebels.
And then we may change the situation.
Your Grace, I knew what was going on.
Lord Yuzhang has crossed the river with his army.
In a few days, he will arrive here.
What about Princess Consort Yuzhang?
Of course she's with Lord Yuzhang.
Your Grace?
Your Grace.
You go first.
I'd be alone.
Yes.
I hate to see her most.
But I have to see her.
Get him a seat.
I dare not.
Dare not?
Where are your guts when you threatened me with your life?
I'm guilty, Your Majesty.
If you didn't stop me from doing something wrong, you would be more guilty.
You may rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, Xiao Qi has leading his army...
Discuss about it without me.
Your Majesty, Xiao Qi is taking his army to the Capital without being summoned.
This is a serious problem.
Your Majesty, you can't leave it alone.
You came with the testamentary edict of the Grand Emperor, and kept me inside for introspection.
Now you've messed up everything and ask me to clean your mess?
Your Majesty, I'm afraid.
He is only a general from the low class and demonstrates against the court.
Don't be afraid.
Are all our noble clans useless?
I believe you can handle it.
Your Majesty, I'm stupid.
Your Majesty, hope you could guide me.
I only have one suggestion.
He goes back to where he came from.
Prime Minister Wen.
Prime Minister Wen is back!
Prime Minister Wen is back!
You're back, Prime Minister?
What have you got?
Prime Minister Wen, what did His Majesty say?
Prime Minister Wen, what have you got?
His Majesty's still unwilling to attend the court meeting.
What...?
What about Lord Yuzhang?
Where is His Majesty?
His Majesty is here.
Sorry for disturbing you, Your Majesty.
You go back to have a rest.
What?
What's the matter?
I...
I find it unfair to you.
Such officials have you trapped in such a condition with the testamentary edict of the Grand Emperor.
You don't blame them in your heart, and you handle state affairs every day.
In my heart, I really feel sorry for you.
It doesn't matter if they think I'm a fatuous emperor.
I just don't think I am.
When other people treat you badly, you never blame them.
When someone's good to you do you know it?
I understand this clearly.
You're pregnant and you should have more rest.
It's my first child.
I hope it can be born safely.
I...
I don't think Xiao Qi would obey this order.
If he doesn't, he's doing treason!
Kill him!
Duke Wei, in my view, why don't you talk to Xiao Qi?
If he dares to say no, you can kill him immediately.
Me?
I...
I'm too old.
I'm afraid I can't withstand the bumping trip.
A hundred thousand unstoppable soldiers came all the way to the east.
When they passed so many town, no one dared to stop them.
Right now, who has the guts to persuade Xiao Qi?
Who?
I dare not.
Who dares?
Who?
Count Suyi, you were a subordinate of Xiao Qi.
You can't watch him running into the wrong way, can you?
He has made the decision.
He won't listen to anyone.
He decides if he listens.
But you decide if you go persuade him.
We need someone to go and stop the war.
Count Suyi, you should know your position.
Are you Count Suyi Count of Cheng, or a subordinate of Xiao Qi?
Don't cry.
Wen Zongshen is so cunning.
He's trying to push Song Huai'en to his side and force him against Xiao Qi.
Song Huai'en and Xiao Qi both came from the low class.
No matter what, the noble class in the imperial court doesn't trust him.
But why do you trust him?
Since when?
Using him doesn't mean trusting him.
Right?
Do you think Song Huai'en could stop Xiao Qi?
Jing, what do you think?
What do you think?
Do you think Song Huai'en could stop Xiao Qi?
My Lord.
It's Song Huai'en.
Yes.
It's him He's leading the army of the imperial court.
We don't know his intent.
Don't worry.
He's our brother.
Will Lord be OK?
Don't worry.
He will be fine.
My Lord.
Huai'en.
I'm wearing armors.
I'm sorry for not saluting you.
We are brothers.
Don't mind the courtesy.
My Lord, I wonder where you're heading.
For the Capital.
Local army isn't allowed to enter the Capital unless summoned.
Huai'en, are you here to welcome me or stop me?
I'm here to persuade you!
If you step forward further, there will be no turning back!
And My Lord, you will be cursed as a traitor.
For now, going back to Ningshuo with your army is the best choice for you.
Only in this way do you have the basis to negotiate with the court!
Is this what you mean or what the court means?
I am ordered to be here.
And I have shown my politeness.
Xiao Qi, take the imperial edict.
It's capital crime if you refuse!
In the Capital, most people want me to die, right?
Then this time, who will do it?
My Lord!
You?
Count Suyi?
I dare not.
I just take the order.
Please understand, Lord Yuzhang.
Lord Yuzhang?
Now, I am not Lord Yuzhang anymore.
To the court, I'm nothing, but a traitor, who rebelled and killed the late emperor.
Who would issue a decree to a traitor?
If I'm still recognized as Lord Yuzhang, why did they try to kill me on Mount Lianyu without any reason?
Huai'en, do you remember the first time we went to the Capital?
It was when I was made Lord Yuzhang.
I was the first Lord from the low class since our country was founded.
In the Capital, many noble clans were against it.
They set numerous traps.
Luckily, we survived all of the traps.
That year, you were with me.
So was Guanglie.
Now, do you want to go against me?
I'm loyal to Cheng.
If you are loyal to Cheng you won't make me go against you.
Wasn't Guanglie loyal?
Soldiers of Ningshuo Army died unjustifiably.
Which one of them is unfaithful?
Just go back.
You managed to persuade me.
And you've done what you should do.
Tell the imperial court.
I am back.
