Singing All Along

Episode 41

Or else, conniving with a criminal-- - Ceng Peng,

do you guys plan to forcibly detain me here then?

Reporting!

Reporting to General, Deng Feng has led his army in a sneak attack.

General Deng, the Han army has retreated. Do we continue to chase after them?

Spread my order. Don't chase anymore.

Yes.

Kneel!

Sister, never thought that you will betray me.

Feng'er, I was thinking for your sake.

Nanyang must not be swept in the fires of war anymore. - The one who caused Nanyang to be in the fires of war is not me!

You've already fallen too deeply.

Listen to my advice. Immediately retreat your army and go with Zhu You back to Luoyang.

So Sister from the start until the end is doing all these for Liu Xiu?

I finally understand.

What accompanying me, is my family, all these are lies!

It's not that, Feng'er. - Don't say it anymore!

Men! Escort them back to Xinye!

Immediately take them away! - Yes! - Feng'er!

Lady, let's go first.

Let's go.

Madam, please.

Lady Yin indeed came to beg for your sake. She didn't betray you.

I know. How can Sister betray me?

I just don't want her to be wedged in the middle and be in a dilemma.

General Zhu, you can go too.

Take me with you as your hostage.

This way, Ceng Peng and the others will be more cautious.

Why?

Have you forgotten? I am from Nanyang, and also His Majesty.

If we personally saw people from our own province being trampled upon and enduring great sufferings,

surely, we will act the same as you did，

stepping forward boldly, being angered and fighting back.

Lady, it's the riverside during the Shangsi Festival of that year.

That's right.

There goes the fish hawks on an islet in the river.

You seek but cannot get her. You think day and night about her.

So long does time pass, you keep turning while lying down.

Lihua...

Ah Yu...

You stupid!

Why did you come here?

Why didn't follow orders while you were at Sanfu?

Yes. - You still have the face to say yes?

His Majesty sent Gongsun to take you to Sanfu to lead the army.

Why didn't you follow your orders?

Rash and extreme, you just ruined the Xizheng (Western campaign) army and your future.

Why did you do it?

A person's strength has its time of weakness.

This time, I really lost in an awful condition.

I already don't have the strength to continue fighting.

But you still can't just run away after being defeated in battle.

If everyone is like you, how are we to continue these battles?

Right. I know.

That's why on the day when I gave up my general stamp and left the military camp,

I really want to just hang myself and end all these.

But afterwards, I remembered that time when I went to Hebei to follow you and Wenshu,

I was thinking that for you, for Wenshu, for the world, we gave it all our best.

I should give you all at least an explanation.

That's why, I came back.

Regardless, I want to see you again.

Let's go back already. Don't do something stupid again.

It's such a waste that I was so intelligent but I can only be an idiot.

I don't know. I really don't know.

Teach me what should I do so that I won't continue to be an idiot.

Older Sister!

Take the horses.

Older Sister, you're back.

Elder Brother.

It's good that you're back.

Go back inside first to rest.

Oh, right.

When I set up my camp at Chang'an, I especially went back to the Tai Academy.

Do you still remember those times that we spent in the library?

You!

I remember.

When Liu Xuan detained me at Chang'an, I also went back to the Imperial Academy once.

I still remember that the first time I met you is at the Imperial Academy.

That time, you were really petite.

But you were small yet with great ambitions.

With Cai Shagong, you even argued to the point that all the students can't argue back anymore.

In the end, it was even Wenshu who helped you resolve the dispute.

What was again the topic we were discussing then?

I've forgotten.

Right, what were you discussing?

But I still remember that in the end, someone said

"To prosper the world's benefits, to eliminate the world's evil."

I remember what Third Brother said already.

He said, "Different rivers flowing into the seas, different routes to the same direction."

Right.

That time, we were all so little.

We all wanted to one day show our capabilities and save the country and its citizens.

We all did our best already. Right.

After so many years, after going through so many things,

I slowly discovers that

Ziling's big principle of not doing anything won't also work.

And the Mohist School of thoughts that me and Feng'er firmly believed in also won't work.

I think that Wenshu is like water,

that couples hardness with softness, all-inclusive.

In this chaotic world, it is because of him

that we can gather people with different ideas all together

and slowly change things.

Really?

But I feel so insecure.

Feng'er caused too big of a problem this time.

I'm afraid that even third brother can not help him.

At the start of the 4th year of Jianwu's reign, Fengyi reorganize the remaining army

and went into battle with the Chimei army several times.

Each side having their share of victories and defeats.

Liu Xiu personally led a military expedition and deployed surveillance at Yiyang and ambushed the remnants of the Chimei army.

The Chimei army who were already severely exhausted have now lost their will to fight.

They sent Liu Gong to seek an audience with Liu Xiu and begged to let them surrender.

By the second month of the year,

Chimei's Han Dynasty Emperor Jianshi Liu Penzi

and their prime minister Xu Xuan and the rest of the 30 plus ministers bared their arms and surrendered.

Your majesty.

Now that Yiyang is stable and the Chimei within Guanzhong has already surrendered,

we can say that we've stopped the downward trend of our dynasty.

It's just that Nanyang-- - I've already decided to do a south campaign.

I will leave everything here to you.

Your majesty, when are you leaving?

Probably early tomorrow morning.

I thought with Lihua here, the situation wouldn't have turned into something like this.

A few days ago, we've received military news that the seize of Wancheng has been resolved.

Deng Feng has already retreated to Yuyang.

I think he also has some internal struggles.

I think that when Your Majesty arrives there, you can first set camp at Wancheng before think of ways to pacify him.

Actually the place the I do not want to go to the most is Wancheng.

I am not willing to go back to Nanyang.

Wancheng was the place older brother was killed.

At the time when I heard the news I was at Fucheng.

I was even with you.

I rushed back during the night,

but I only saw older brother's corpse in the end.

This time,

I think it will be too similar.

The person I have to face is my other brother.

Your majesty.

What has to come will come.

Deng Feng's personality is straight forward, he didn't mean to make you mad.

I really wish that I can protect Feng'er

Or else, I can't face Brother-in-law and

Lihua will not forgive me again.

His Majesty is going southwards to personally lead the campaign here.

Whether to fight or surrender, it's time to decide already.

I don't know.

Outside Kunyang, I went with him risking life and limb.

He's a brilliant military strategist.

In reality, he is the strongest among us.

Now that I have to face him.

You can not defeat his majesty.

Yes.

I can not beat him and I do not want to fight with him.

I hate Wu Han, not him.

Then surrender, do not drag it on.

As long as you surrender, I, Deng Cheng and Lihua will do our best to protect you.

Wu Han and those other Hebei generals won't let me off.

But what is the purpose of you continuing to fight on?

I am afraid it is far from what your idea was in the beginning.

And also, even if you defeat his majesty, what can you do?

Even if you do not think of yourself, you should think of the citizens and the Deng clan.

What you said is correct.

I will retreat out of Yuyang to save my clan and the citizens.

What about you?

Probably go back to Xinye first.

Don't worry. This time I will not get anyone else involved.

Ah Yu.

You think if Third brother comes and Feng'er surrenders,

he probably wouldn't kill Feng'er right?

Probably not.

Even if he is a king, he is a good person.

As a king,

he is no longer himself.

Actually he still is himself.

Except that his heart is filled with the world.

It can no longer hold me in it.

I can understand him,

since in the beginning I did things for this world too.

Ah Yu, what's wrong?

Your hearts are all filled with the world,

but you have also known that in my heart

I only have one person inside it. It is you.

If you don't mind, let me stay with you for the rest of your life.

Even if your heart only has him and not me, I don't care.

I...I can accompany you to travel all around the world.

Where ever you want to go, I will go with you.

A broken hairpin or a mirror...indeed, cannot be repaired.

Lihua, with all that I have, I'm making this separation of hairpin pact with you.

No matter what you what me to do , I will do it with not regrets.

Actually, being at home is pretty good.

Just eat and drink with no worries.

It's more at ease than traveling around the world.

Jiejie.

Jiejie.

Li Xiu personally led an army to suppress Yu Yang.

Deng Feng has already retreated his men

and escaped to Little Chang'an District.
