2:00
Zhong Yu is there to forbid farewell to Chu Qiao. She couldn't speak for Xiu Li army as Yanxun's determination to kill is too strong. If she speaks up, people around her will be affected. Zhong Yu is to protect Mr. Wu to go to Lan City. The soldiers use to be people she know, but they have all died and replaced with strange faces. Maybe it's time for Zhong Yu to go. Chu Qiao even if she leaves will not be against Yanbei. Scene ends with Chu Qiao saying "Yu Lady, what if we leave together?"

6:15
Chu Qiao finally meets with Wu Dao Ya (Mr. Wu) and ask for her past. She tells him what she remembers. When she was young, her mother taught her martial arts but disappear quite frequently for several months at the same time and doesn't know what she does. On her last meeting, her mother tells her that she doesn't know if she can return. So she passed her internal powers of ice into her and had her live with Zheng family. One day, she hears her mother is captured and she goes to her rescue but was only ambushed. A mysterious girl appeared and saved her.

9:54
Mr. Wu fills her in on the missing information. The mysterious girl is Xia Chong, a Wang Sheng Group assassin. Luo He is the leader of Jiang Hu holding the Feng Yu command, and Chu Qiao, you are the next successor. Yuwen Hao caused Luo He's death; however, the actual culprit are the traitors on Luo He's side. (Yuwen Hao is the son of Yuwen Xi, the perverted old man). They killed her because they believe she was a great evil monster. Feng Yun Ling is a flower engraving that appears after you have mastered the internal powers of ice. The mother had only given her 80% of the powers. He suspects that it's either her memory lost or that she needs to be in a cold icey place to activate her powers.

12:07
Mr. Wu sent Snake Girl and San Jie Wu Zong to save Luo He, but was already too late, but was able to save Chu Qiao, who was heavily injured. You guys encountered Yuwen Hao, who was the leader of Diezhi Tian Yan. (Battles with Snake Girl and Monk) Snake Girl used her life to save the daughter because Luo He saved her in the past. Ultimately, she was greatly injured and fell off.

17:21
Chu Qiao killed Yuwen Hao and fell into the river. Unexpectedly, you entered into Yuwen household as a slave. Even more unexpectedly, you killed Yuwen Xi and his sons and thus avenging your mother's death. You followed Yanxu to Yanbei, which is the place where your mother defended with her life. Now that you know the truth, I understand that it's a dilemma betweenn Yuwen Yue and Yanxun. Whether you go or stay, it is up to you.

18:30
Chu Qiao wants Mr. Wu to help stabilized Yanbei; however Mr Wu says he is no longer the appropriate person to do so. He ask if she will come with him to Lan (Blue) city as she suppose to assume the responsibilities of Luo He. Chu Qiao says she has forgotten most of her past and she cannot leave now. She has to stay and help control Yanxun's hatred and ambition for revenge.

19:10
Da Liang Princess Xiao Yu is wandering by herself and her subordinates found her. Da Liang princess tells her trusted subordinates who Yuwen Yue is. She must kill him and is not able to. Her subordinate console her and tells her that she is always different from other princesses. She puts the nation before her and is greatly respected. She should not let Yuwen Yue stop her from her path.


26:10
Yuwen Yue's messenger is killed by Da Liang Princess's men. The letter is to Prince # 7 to tell him that everything at the border is okay. Princess sees from the letter that they Da Wei wants to peacefully settle with Yanxun. She will interfere and write a letter to avoid the settlement.

30:30
Yuwen Yue receives a birdie note (we all know it should be the Da Liang princess asking to meet with him). She says a phrase within Yuwen Yue's letters, and he ask her who she is. She says she is Xiao Yu (Little Gem). Turns out they were pen pals, and the princess thinks this is ridiculous (I agree). Yuwen Yue thinks their relationship is unfortunate and will destroy the messages between them. (lol I just died at how the princess pulled out the sword and Yuwen Yue pretending to be poisoned) Da Liang Princess had poisonous gas in the forest. She must kill him in order for her to be herself again. She doesn't kill kim and Yuwen Yue stops pretending and gets up to ask why she didn't kill him.

36:20
Da Liang Princess says why can't they be on the same path and walk. She tells him that Chu Qiao is Luo He's daughter, who is the biggest enemy of Yuwen Yue. Why is it that Yuwen Yue willing to do it for Chu Qiao. He says there some things that doesn't need to be said. He hopes he will never see her again (aka, he doesn't want to kill her because she is the enemy, so it's better that he will never encounter her ever again).

40:41
Princess Chun Er meets with her brother Yuan Song. Yuan Song says that she should have never attempted to kill her father as this is not a good virtue and against heaven's will.

Thoughts

The battle between Yuwen Hao and Snake Girl + the monk was the best so far. I felt like the scene where the princess was crying was a good scene but over-reacted. It didn't fit in with Princess Da Liang character.

At 34:12, the princess pulls out a sword to threaten Yuwen Yue. LOL, this scene is hilarious. The sound effect is of a sword being pulled out of its metal holder, and she pulls the sword out from her dress that has no pockets.

Yang Xiu devises a plan to save Zi Jian and tells Zi Jian to push the fault of trespassing the Sima gates onto Sima Lang. Although Zi Jian has an honest character, he lies to Cao Cao that it was Sima Lang's doing. Sima Lang screems for justice, and Cao Cao knows what is going on. Irregardless, he has Sima Lang imprisoned.

Sima Yi runs around desperately looking for a way to save his brother. The first person he goes to is Zi Huan. However, Zi Huan sees this as a golden opportunity to rid of Zi Jian and confirm his status as a successor. He denies Sima Yi's request. On Cao Cao's side, him and his wife knows Zi Huan is the only one to speak for Zi Jian but knows he will not do so. Cao Cao already saw the situations 10 steps ahead and awaits for Xun Yi to be involved.

Sima Yi realizes that Xiao Shi House puts a spy on all important officials and keeps a secret track of everyone's whereabouts. He ask Ji Bu to steal the record of Ding Yi blackmailing Minister Cui. After retrieving the records, Sima Yi's father yells at him for such a reckless strategy because it will anger Cao Cao and make him destroy Sima family in the future for destroying one of his most trusted advisor (Minister Cui). The father instructs Sima Yi to go find Xun Yi.

At Xun Yi's house, Sima Yi explained the situation and shows him the records of Ding Yi's blackmail. Xun Yi laughs and says this is awful as it will put Cao Cao in a situation to kill his beloved son, destroy the great Minister Cui and his family, and kill the person that help him steal the records. Xun Yi agrees to help Sima Yi, and will tell him what to do the next morning.

Xun Yi finally meets with Cao Cao, and they discuss about their values and roles. Xun Yi explains that he is disappointed in the events today. He swore allegiance to the Han dynasty and believed Cao Cao will strengthen Han Dynasty and put down the turmoil and bring peace to the civilians. Instead, Cao Cao started creating his own nation and crowned himself King of Wei. Xun Yi is a Han Dynasty devotee and will only serve with the purpose of protecting Han dynasty. After the meeting, Cao Cao is saddened and gets irritated that people kept saying where he is wrong today, tomorrow, and many other days. Which day will he finally be correct?

Xun Yi commits suicide and sends a messenger to Sima Yi to say he failed in what he was relied on. Zi Huan finds out that his most powerful supporter has died. On the day of Xun Yi's funeral, Cao Cao arrives and is greatly grieved. Later, he starts to pass on Xun Yi's works and responsibilities to 3 officials. They are to identify anything suspicious within the documents.

Yang Xiu discovers something alarming and reports to Cao Cao. The scroll was written in Zi Huan's handwriting, and it complained about Cao Cao's wrongdoing in disposing eldest son. Cao Cao treats this as a tactic in recruiting support against his authority. Zi Huan declares he did not write this, and is to be imprisoned for an investigation. Before he is dragged away, he ask his father "the citizens can tell their injustice at courts, officials can tell their injustice to the king, who can this son tell his injustice to?" Cao Cao, at first assigns Si Fa official to handle the case and is quickly persuaded by Yang Xiu to allow Ding Yi (who hates Zi Huan) to sit as the judge.

Guo Zhao tells Sima Yi that Zi Huan has been imprisoned. Sima Yi tells them if they ever want to send them a message, it's better to have Ji Bu sent to their house instead of them coming personally. It's too risky! Sima Yi's father says that Sima Yi cannot help! It's regarding treason and Ding Yi was appointed to the case. Sima Yi, shocked, runs to act immediately.

Ding Yi press Zi Huan to confess and will use aggressive means to force a confession out of Zi Huan starting with 20 large wooden hits. A scholar speaks with his father is understanding a word. The father says it took Cao Cao 30 km of horseback riding to get it and it took 4 minutes for Yang Xiu to get it. The scholar says then he would rather confess he understands it within 40 km. Anyone smart will not try to beat Cao Cao. You need to use the strategy of not fighting for to fight for it. 3 people who uses this strategy is Xun Yi, his father, and Sima Yi. Just then, Sima Yi arrives

Sima Yi ask for the uncle to save Zi Huan as Ding Yi will force a confession out of Zi Huan. The man says it's not something they are able to do.

Sima Yi explains to his father that he needs to save Zi Huan in order to save his brother, Sima Lang. Sima Yi begs Cao Cao to see Zi Huan as this is a serious affair concerning the fate of Wei. He takes Zi Huan's bloody clothes to show Cao Cao's wife that Ding Yi is abusing Zi Huan. He ask for the wife's help.

Two official, Yuang Cheng (Zhong Si Qian) and Sima Yi's father, discusses about who forged the letter. Yuan Cheng says that it must be someone who interacts regularly with Xun Yi and Zi Huan. It might not actually be Yang Xiu because he has bad relationship with Xun Yi and would not be able to easily get into Xun Yi's work room. Sima Yi's father beg Yuan Cheng to help.

Zhong Si Qian is now assigned to Cao Pi's case to start investigating about the scroll. Cao Pi gives a speech to be redirected to Cao Cao. He says the scroll content does not reflect anything he thinks and is full of words of treason. Cao Pi sees the work of his father as saving the country. If it wasn't for Cao Cao, then it would be in another chaos. Yes, the dynasty has changed, but it's based on the situation. If it wasn't for this, then it will be much worse. His father did not lust just after merely a throne.

Zhong Si Qian tells Cao Cao that he will be taking the scroll and comparing it with the works of all officials.

Sima Yi leads a bunch of officials to wait outside for the immediate findings of Zhong Si Qian. Zhong Si qian is stunned as he did not even start working and tells Sima Yi that he is forcing him. Sima Yi says he's afraid someone else will be forcing Zhong Si Qian. Xun Jun Shi (military strategist title) arrives to await for his findings as well because he wants to clear the name of Xun family.

Shu Da and Sima Yi talk about the events during the day. Shu Da says Sima Yi's action is to place pressure against Cao Cao. Sima Yi says he has to do it in order to save Zi Huan

Zi Jian apologizes to Cao Cao, and admits that he is the one who trespassed Sima gates. Cao Cao is happy that he is honest; however, he is there to ask him about his brother's case. Cao Cao ask for absolute honesty. Is the scroll related to you or Yang Xiu? Zi Jian says he doesn't know and it is definitely not him nor Yang Xiu. Cao Cao wants Zi Jian to fight for the successor as Confusion said that rulers background must a benevolent integrity.

Zhong Qi Qian discovers something and shows his son. A soldier reports back to Cao Cao that people from Zhong Zi Qian's house has been dispatched to Minister Cui's house and Minister Cui Ran has gone to Da Li Si (equal to Supreme Court). Cao Cao gives instruction to the soldier to close off Da Li Si and forbid communication between Da Li Si and anyone else. Sima Yi finds out Cui Ran is at Da Li Si and runs back to find Xun Jun Shi still standing there.

Zhong Si Qian comes out and reads Cui Ran's statement regarding the case. Cui Ran admits it was his doing as ordered by Zi Jian and Yang Xiu. He forged a scroll by Zi Huan and hid it in Xun Yi's study room. Xun Jun Shi goes and complete his side of the responsibilities needed to save Zi Huan. The soldiers arrive and forbid Zhong Si Qian interacting with anyone. However, it's too late

Xun Jun Shi meets with Cao Cao and the soldiers report that Zhong Si Qian had already revealed the truth to everyone before he arrived. Xun Jun Shi request for a fair trial of Zi Huan.

Cao Cao has a headache as Cui Ran confessed without even being oppressed. He's there to hurt his son-in-law, Zi Jian. They did this for their devotion to Han dynasty and not letting Cao Cao do whatever he wants.

Yang Xiu and Ding Yi understand what had happened. Their enemies and joined together and sacrificed the lives of 2 powerful political figures to get rid of Zi Jian's powers and people. Yang Xiu enters the palace to figure out what to do

Yang Xiu and Zi Jian meets with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is flustered at the mess they caused. Everyone is writing to have them killed. They ask for a way to investigate and push Cui Ran's statement back. Cao Cao says Cui Ran is asking for his own death. Nothing will work. Yang Xiu should focus on defending himself.

Sima Yi tells Zi Huan it was Cui Ran who forged the scroll, and doesn't accompanies Zi Huan to see Cao Cao as Cao Cao is furious at the moment especially at Sima Yi's strategy. Sima Yi stays behind to see Minister Cui. Zhong Si Qian ask whether they can save Minister Cui. Sima Yi says people who wants to live can be saved. People who is asking for death cannot be saved.

Minister Cui talks to Sima Yi. Minister Cui that he had a pact with Xun Yi to sacrifice their lives to their principle of having the eldest as the successor if Cao Cao insist on going his way. Minister Cui says he helped because he believed in their abilities to save the nation and his impact is limited.

Cao Cao holds a meeting to announce the end of the case. He frees Zi Huan and have Ding Yi killed. He ask if Zi Huan is satisfied and ask if all the officials are satisfied. Cao Pi meets with Cao Cao and ask him if it was Cao Pi that schemed Cao Zhi, what will be Cao Pi's punishment? Cao Cao angered pulls out a sword and ask if they want to kill each other already before his death. Cao Pi says he will say it for Cao Cao. If he was the one to scheme against Zi Jian, Cao Cao will have him killed. Even if he doesn't have him killed, Yang Xiu and Ding Yi will find a way to kill him. However, he will not kill Zi Jian. He put his life in the hands of his father when he entered the jail cells because he believe his father will be just.

Thoughts

The drama is coming to an end, and based on all the events this far, the drama is mediocre/slightly above average.

The dramas is very popular because I think Zhao Li Ying's performance is solid (definitely way better than Angelababy - I couldn't even sit through 10 episodes of General and I). I liked her the best in Rookie Agent Rouge. However, I do feel that her effort in performance for this show is not as good as her prior work. She seems to be over exhausted.

I am personally not fond of the acting performance by a lot of the main characters. The acting performances that I came to like are Xiu Li army commander (I keep forgetting his name. Someone remind me), Chu Qiao, Princess Chun Er (She has her ups and downs but has potential and it seems she put effort into the drama), Yuwen Yue's grandfather, Zuo Bao Chuang (the old man with the guinea pigs), Zhong Yu, and ah Jing. I think I left one or two people out as I can't remember at the moment.

Culture - Poetry

Author : 鮑令暉 (Bao LingHui) 11:47 - The poetry the child said

客从远方来，赠我漆鸣琴。 (ke cong yuanfang lai, zeng wo qi ming qin)
木有相思文，弦有别离音。 (mu you xiangsi wen, xian you bie li yin)
终身执此调，岁寒不改心。 (zhongshen zhe ci diao, sui han bu gai xin)
愿作阳春曲，宫商长相寻。 (yuan zuo yangchun qu, gong xiang chang xiang xun)

客从远方来，赠我漆鸣琴。 (ke cong yuanfang lai, zeng wo qi ming qin)
guest/visitor from far away, gifted me a painted piano (guqin - long zither / piano that resembles a guitar but you pluck it)

木有相思文，弦有别离音。 (mu you xiangsi wen, xian you bie li yin)
The wood has words of yearning, the strings have the sounds of departure

终身执此调，岁寒不改心 (zhongshen zhe ci diao, sui han bu gai xin)
It will forever have this tone, many years of winter will not change its heart

愿作阳春曲，宫商长相寻。 (yuan zuo yangchun qu, gong xiang chang xiang xun)
I willingly compose a song about spring, and I look for the right notes.

The poetry comes from the perspective of a man meeting a visitor from far away. He used the word guest which implies the visitor is at his place. The visitor gifts him a Chinese piano and it triggers feelings that means a lot to the man. This usually implies that this piano was from his hometown that is why it means so much and can trigger memories/feelings. He then sits down and compose a song and look for the right notes.

Rolling in the deep with the guzhen

Du Ping An
You come here
Da Ren (Big Person - usually refers to powerful important people - gov't officials)
how do you know this poem
when I was young, my mother taught me
Then, I believe your mom
should also be
an educated person
my mom is Da Liang's musician
She can sing good songs
Da Liang's musician ?
then why would you travel such great distance
to come to Yanbei ?
because Yanbei doesn't have slaves
Mom and dad came here
and escaped slavery
and settled comfortably
then do you know what this poem
is talking about?
the meaning is like about a couple
who are on the different corners of the world
and missing each other
you're so young
and already knows what missing means
of course, my father died early
when I think about him
I will play the
flute that he made me
da ren (title of important lord)
your flute is played with such distress
is it because you are missing someone ?
I am thinking
"I hope my thoughts will not be correct"

mobilized a lot of army men
to come save Chang An
You took out your family's
specialty
how can I hold anything back
searching to the bottom of my house

we need to depend on your
traps
I believe it's enough for this wolf pack
to drink
even the most complex traps
can only ward them off for a moment
Wei Shu Yi is occupied with Yanbei
Yanxun battled his way to Chang An
The final unlucky ones
should be the citizens

17:09 (Yue Qi comes in)
Say it, just say it
I don't believe there will be a worse event
Yanxun's army
has penetrated through Mei Lin mountain passage
battling towards Chang An
stealing and slaughtering the city on the way
a few cities are basically
emptied out
I didn't think this wolf pack
is this wicked and merciless
After Jiu You stage (where the king killed Yanxun's family)
it completely changed him
Yuwen Yue
Right now, take Wang Sheng group with you
go tie up Princess Chun Er and bring her back
if we still don't receive help
bring me back the army command
the water in the distance would not be able to save the nearby fire
Not only, around Princess Chun Er
is a group of men skilled in martial arts
even if it is Wang Sheng group
it cannot be done

Then,
kill
The king already sent Yuan Song there
I think he will figure out a way
You are still protecting Chun Er
letting Yuan Song go there
is a 2 purpose strategy
Yuan Song will not hurt her
and also will not let her do stupid things
but right now
assassinating Yanxun
is the only road out
only letting Yanxun die
then can we allow Chang An city
to not go through
a calamity
This solution...
we can try it out

19:10
Dian Xia (prince title), you woke up
Did Zong Yu send a letter?
Has Chu Qiao arrived at Lan (Blue) city?
Not yet
Did she not go to Lan City?
probably did not (to Yanxun's last statement above)
Dian Xia (prince title) don't worry, I believe
the letter will arrive these couple of days. Reporting!
Dian Xia, Zhong Yu sent a messenger to report
Chu Da Ren recovered the Xiu Li army
and brought them to support Hong Chuan (city)
and has already in Hong Chuan city
fought 2 battles
what did you say?
Ah Chu lady is still at Hong Chuan?
with that little army?
isn't that like throwing an egg against a rock?
dian xia dian xia
dian xia

20:03
dian xia
where are you going?
let go
dian xia
let go
if you go back to Yanbei now
what will happen to the army outside?
we have fought all they way to
the foot of Chang An
dian xia
Hong Chuan city has a secret passage
it's for when the city has been completely fallen
Ah Chu lady and them
can escape from the secret passage
She has decided to go back
then she will and must defend
according to her personality
she will not leave
dianxia
for the sake of the entire plan
Ah Jing, send instructions to Zhong Yu
and say within 2 days
she must take Ah Chu out of Hong Chuan city
this is my only command for her
yes

21:12
Chun Er, Prince Yuan Qi has already died
this is a death penalty
me coming here , is also a death penalty
if you are afraid
leave
what nonsense are you speaking of
you clearly know I cannot
leave you alone here
why would you bother to say that
Chun Er
I am worried about you
Yu Wang (Prince) Dianxia (His highness)
step aside
Yu Wang Xian Xia
Why did you come here
If I do not come
I don't know what other
ridiculous things you all will create

22:01
Wei Shu Yi
Chun Er is young and naive
How can you join in on her mischief
the tiger tally in her hands
brought the imperial guards to here
do you know what this have done?
everything was my decision
it's not related to him
I'll take responsibilities of all the consequences
take responsibility?
how will you take responsibility?
little sister
stop being silly, okay?
it's still not late for a sheep to fix the fence (idiom about a sheep defending against wolves)
Your theft of the army command has angered our King father
have you thought about our Mother Concubine
Mother concubine is mother concubine, I am I
My affairs
what does that has anything to do with mother concubine
Absurd words!

22:46
you are mother concubines's daughter
your faults
will be burdened onto mother concubine
Chun Er
come with me back to Father king and plea for your crimes
I who actually have already took the skies
and struck a hole through it
then I am not afraid that it will collapse
my ending
is practically like that
so it's not really anything
that I need to debate about (have 3 hearts and 2 desires)
Wait until I penetrate Hong Chuan (city)
kill Chu Qiao, and take revenge
if Father king wants my head
then I will just give it to him

23:13
Chun Er
Can you stop being so stubborn
I also heard
Yanxun battled from Yanbei to Da Wei.
the counties in between has already fallen
Chang An has no army to mobilize
If Chang An falls
then you have destroyed the nation of Da Wei
what are you saying?
Yanxun is attacking Chang An?
how can that be?
Does he not want Yanbei anymore?
Is it possible that he is willing to part with
Chu Qiao, this disgusting maid?
little sister
If you occupied Yanbei, then what?
if Chang An is lost
everything will be lost
listen to brother and come back with me.

24:11
No
If it's like that
then I definitely should not go back
give one more day x 2
I can kill Chu Qiao
I need to penetrate Hong Chuan city
and shred CHu Qiao's body apart
and then take her head
and throw it in front of Yanxun's face
only this way can I let this breath go
does your heart not have me?
what about the citizens of Chang An?
Chun Er
Please listen to the words of Yu Wang Dian Xia
Right now, we really cannot drag this on anymore
(laughs)
it's only a disgusting maid in the city
and a group of disorderly crowd
a magnificent Da Wei prince
a a general who descended from a great family
actually cannot even go against her
How can I still rely on you
to go against Yanxun and protect Chang An
If at this moment
the army retreats
then all our previous effort
will all be wasted
ben gongzhu (I, princess) will absolutely disagree
lai ren (instructions for servants to come)
send Yu Wang Dian Xia back to the capital
yes yes
Chun Er

26:03
Gongzi (nobleman title)
shu xia (I, subordinate) will think of a method
to send Mo Er back
He sneakily came out
really do not have a method
I am helpless with him
how can you have a method ?
but we cannot continue like this
over here, it can at any time
turn into a battlefield
it's too dangerous
this child
has went through a narrow escape from death
the things we are facing now
is not much of a fear to him
His biggest fear .. is to be abandoned

26:46
gongzi
shuxia (I, subordinate) has already found Yanxun's
camp/tent
We can move any time
wait for my signal to take action
do not be careless/rash
shuxia (I subordinate) understand

27:04
Da Ren just fell asleep. Quickly halt!
I have important military issue, step aside
no
step aside
whatever you have
just wait until tomorrow morning to say
Ping An, step aside
let him come in
loosen off
Da Ren
You go out
Chu Da Ren
Song Qi Feng (name)
isn't Zhong Yu's
at Lan City ?
Is Yu Lady here to support me ?
Yu Lady ordered shuxia(I, subordinate)
to find Chu Da Ren
to discuss important matter
where is her person?
right outside the city

27:57 (translations from colonyofcells del machine and I)
Ah Chu, it's me
Hong Chuan city's time is limited
Do not try to forcibly hold out despite the difficulties.
Allow me to take you away
this area is not safe
While on the road, I'll explain to you
you first tell me
did you already know
about Hong Chuan city's situation?
Did you know how certain people created trouble?
yes or no?
yes.
I know
Da Wei split into 2 groups (in separate paths)
and forced its way (marched its way) to the river head crossing (the place where they are at)
and attacked Hong Chuan
did you know ?
I know
Cheng Yuan rejected the refugees
killed his team members and abandoned city and ran
did you know about all of these ?
I know
Once, Da Wei penetrate through Hong Chuan (city)
and massacre the captured city
Yanbei's millions of army and people
will die without a place to be buried
all of these, did you know ?
I know

29:15
Why
why did you clearly know
and not stop it? (End of credits to colonyofcells del machine)
Ah Chu
Do you still not understand?
Lan City at this moment does not have any
Yanbei's troops
Northern Shuocheng's troops troops
have all been drawn back and left
Not only limited to Lan City
The entire Yanbei does not have much
army men
The present Yanbei's inlands
is like a horse racecourse
Any Da We's army that attack
can become the occupied army (main army that controls the city)
But I don't have the power to stop Cheng Yuan
and no one will give me the power to do so
the only command I received
is to bring you away
other than this
I did not receive
orders to act

29:56
Yanxun
Dianxia is also not at MeiLin mountain pass
are you guys crazy?
yes
Although it's insane, it's effective
Dianxia's army
has already penetrated Da Wei's
multiple defenses
and pressing onto Chang An
Da Wei's scattered East and South defense
army
is like water that is too far away to save the nearby fire
Xibei's 10+ cities and bodies of waters
have all bowed down
at this moment, speed is important to the war
Dianxia's black hawk army
will before long attack Da We's
royal city
Ah Chu
Dianxia knew you will not agree to
his thoughts
so he hid the truth from you
but it does not mean he doesn't trust you
Yanbei's region is bitter cold
and severely limited our
development
no matter how much effort we put in
there's no way to withstand against Da Wei
at times when we are heavily outnumbered
attacking the base of enemies can yet be regarded as good strategy
as long as we catch the enemy off guard
start a counterattack
switch the position and unfavorable scenery
then can we turn the situation around
you are dianxia's closest person
you should understand him

31:20
just for
turning the situation around
you guys allowed Yanbei's
millions of army and civilians
become the bait and cannon's dust?
Ah Chu
yes
I use to suspect
suspected Yanxun
suspected Yanxun to lead an army to attack Meilin mountain pass
to rid of
the 2 armies focus
and stabilized his position in Yanbei
but I did not think
Yanxun's ambition
is not even at Yanbei
He used Yanbei's millions of armies and civilians
as a bait.
At Hong Chuan city, he set up a
humungous trap
and had Da Wei's army
all lured over here
and risked the world's condemnation
and lead Yanbei's number 1 army
and Lan city's troups
and forcibly enter into the lands of Da Wei
No wonder
before the battle
emphasized on taking troops
to attack Meilin mountain pass
no wonder
he didn't bring me with him
no wonder
the help signals I released
have all sank to the bottom of the ocean
personal body guards
it's all Yanxun's
closest and most trusted
Lan city's and Hong Chuan city's crisis
and have no support

32:57
Such complex inner thinking
such scheme
such a terrifying and detailed plan
advancing every step, using such cruel methods
that I can never imagine
is this still the Yanxun I know?
We have an agreement
Yu lady
do you still remember
the first time we met
the things you said to me ?
I remember

33:45
I said hopefully one day
Yanbei
will no longer have orphans like you
indeed
once the war is won
Yanbei will no longer have
an orphan like me
because the people of Yanbei
have all died!
