لومړۍ 200 کرښې.
I am General Xiao Pingjing of Huaihua. Greetings, Prince Kang.
I have long admired the mighty name of the Elder Prince of Chang Lin.
The previous of Heir of Changlin was also a famous personality
in my Great Yu.
But I am ignorant and inexperienced. I have never heard of
the name Xiao Pingjing! For important matters like border peace,
can't your kingdom send someone that can make decisions?!
Thanks to my father's trust, I have already inherited the military seal of the Chang Lin Army.
I will make decisions for all matters concerning the borders.
Looks like despite a lifetime of brilliance by Elder Prince Chang Lin,
he will really have no successors.
I am not interested in your kingdom's political matters.
Let us go back to business!
While my Great Liang is still in national mourning,
General unreasonably invaded my borders, killed, burned, and looted.
I think General should abandon such dishonest acts.
Absurd!
Since time immemorial, the victor is the king and the loser is the bandit.
There are no morals to talk about. Moreover,
how can a kid like you understand it?
Where are my people?!
Xun'er.
Uncle! I got caught by the enemies!
I have insulted the mighty name of our Great Yu!
The men of my Royal Army
can only die in glory and not live in dishonor!
The Great Liang will surely perish! The Heaven will help us!
Pingjing.
I know that after this Qian Lingshou took command,
the borders will surely not stay peaceful.
But never thought that his intentions to kill and conquer is that strong.
It was really a waste that his nephew refused to talk.
His acts have already told us his intentions.
But he never said anything.
Could it be that he still has some battle plans?
He is telling us his resoluteness.
Resoluteness? Just by killing his own nephew?
Based on the character that this person showed us today, we can be sure
that we will have a battle with him.
Dong Qing and Lu Zhao.
Here!
Follow me to Great Yu tomorrow.
- Second Young Master! - General!
- Secong Young Master, you cannot go! - General!
- Pingjing, you cannot go! - I will not agree with it!
General, think about it well!
Everyone, don't panic. Let me explain it slowly.
Going across the border to Great Yu, no matter how you explain it, I will not approve of it.
Although General Wei was a bit irritable, his words are right.
Our Chang Lin Army has lost Elder Young Prince.
If anything still happens to you, who among us will still be able to face Elder Prince?
Our Chang Lin Army has 180,000 men.
We constantly are being attacked by Great Yu,
causing each battalion the need to replenish their men every 2 years.
The northern border line that we guard
starts from Tong-an, Feishan, Ningzhou, Meiling, Moshan, until Ganzhou.
That's 9 border cities, 10 plus little counties.
All of them have been attacked by Great Yu.
How does it feel to be in continuous fighting
and constantly changing lives,
everyone should know it better than me. Am I right?
Prince Kang Qian Lingshuo of Great Yu has already gotten the Grand Commander position of the Royal Army.
The battle between the 2 kingdoms in inevitable.
Upto what degree is his war preparations,
to what location will he point his sword, we still don't know them.
Under such situations, we can only make our defense stronger,
but this is not the best strategy to protect our kingdom's land.
Qian Lingshuo will surely not let the chance that our state is still in mourning.
We generals of the different camp also know that clearly.
But you can just let our scouting spies handle the scouting of the movements of Great Yu.
There's no need for you to personally go.
That is right. You do not need to personally go.
We still will use the scout spies.
But without a clear order, the information that will sent us might not be what we want.
If I do not personally go there to check, it will be hard for me to make the next arrangements.
Moreover, I have also trained in martial arts for so many years,
if I really encounter any danger,
I still will be able to escape.
Do not be this nervous. The heavy responsibility of the northern borders has always been taken up by my older brother.
It is my turn now.
Fine.
Let us agree on a return date. If Second Young Master do not return as agreed,
we all must inform Elder Prince in the capital.
Do not know if Royal Father is well right now.
For you.
Gold-wired soft armor? This is a precious treasure.
This gift is too precious. Tingsheng cannot accept it.
What is the use of you saying that to me? That is a gift by Feiliu to Tingsheng.
Tell that to Feiliu.
Elder Prince, it is time to take your medicine.
It is time to take my medicine.
Just leave that there. I will just clean it up later.
I am really old.
The older the matter is,
the more I cannot help to recall them. Maybe because I will be seeing them soon.
Elder Prince.
Look at how scared you got.
I am just expressing some sentiments.
Fine.
Pingzhang has left. The former emperor has also left.
Even if it is just for Pingjing, I have to endure a few more days.
Come in.
Second Young Master. - Doctor Du.
You need anything?
Is Second Young Master planning to personally go to Great Yu?
Looks like the people here in the military camp
has already treated you as one of us.
General Xiao Lu was carrying a lot of Great Yu clothing earlier.
And he asked me to prepare these medicines, so I was able to guess it.
These are to prevent the symptoms of cold and flu, while these are to lessen the symptoms of being unaccustomed to their climate.
I also prepared some antidotes and medicines for external injuries. Hope you will not be able to use them.
Thank you, Doctor Du.
A few days ago, I received news
that our Miss...
Miss has crossed Ningzhou and continued north.
If she did not change her travel direction, she probably is also inside Great Yu now.
You are saying that Lin Xi is in Great Yu?
Are you sure?
Miss does not frequently write us letter, so I am just guessing.
Second Young Master and Miss seemed to have some kind of fate between you two.
You were able to accidentally bump into each other.
Maybe this time, you two will also meet again.
I am entrusting Ganzhou Military Camp to all of you then.
Second Young Master, take care.
I have found these much. You think they are enough?
Thanks.
What do you think of this shop? This is not bad?
Very good.
- It is not bad, right? - I will look around first.
Customer, are you staying with us? What room do you want?
Not adjacent to a street. Not adjacent to the central hall. No windows.
Okay.
How much did you buy from that stocks last time?
I am Xi Kai from Jidu. Greetings, General.
Please sit.
Thank you, General.
Yi Shui already reported the general situation here in Great Yu.
We were waiting for you to learn about the movements in Jidu. Why did Prince Kang come here to Pancheng (Pan City)?
He probably wants to hasten achieving military merits to block the mouth of those people doubting him.
People doubting him?
- But he mainly must be targeting Prince Yang Yuan Ying. - You can say so.
Also, there are news that the soldiers of Jidu's several camps are coming here to Pan City.
Qian Lingshuo and this Yuan Ying are completely hostile against each other already, am I right?
Other than still being courteous on the outside, the fight between the two of them
can be said to be an irreconcilable one.
Pan City is the largest city in the southern side of Great Yu.
It has always been the military camp of the Royal Army.
Adding the fact that several armies are gathering here recently,
looks like, we must stay here in Pan City for a few more days.
But half of Pan City are military residents. I think it wiill be hard to do that.
We surely will find a way.
I just left the capital and these nonsense imperial reports
are already being submitted to His Majesty!
Prince, please calm down. This is inevitable.
The Yuan group has always been unhappy about you getting the command of the Royal Army.
Yuan Ying, since I was able to steal the grand commander position of the Royal Army from you,
I then will not allow you to have a chance for a comeback.
Yuan Ying is a very cunning man. He is good in conniving with political ministers.
Prince, you only left for 2 months, but he already was able to cause such an influence.
I think that we must not neglect this matter.
What influence?
Didn't he just connive with some people to nag by the side of His Majesty?
Saying that I am tyrannical and a war freak, that it is against the heavenly principles, am I right?
This time, I will make them see
if His Majesty will still say that I am tyrannical and a war freak
once I return with the Royal Army victorious in conquering the lands around us.
Miss.
- Miss. - Auntie.
Is miss worrying when this rain will stop?
That is right. It has been raining for several days, sometimes weak, sometimes strong.
For rain like this, even if it stops,
the mountain paths are still soft and fragile. It will be hard to travel on them.
In my opinion, why don't you just be at ease and stay here in my house for several days.
By then, I will look for some old hunters and ask around.
It is better if I am able to find a tour guide
that will take you into the mountain. Only then will I be at ease.
That is troubling you too much.
What trouble? If not because you came to treat my husband,
I will be pulling grasses around his tomb now.
- What do you think? - Not bad.
I guarantee that it is a good wine. Help me promote it.
Okay. No problem.
- Shop owner! - Master Hu!
- Have you prepared the wines. - They have been prepared. Over there.
Come, transfer them to our cart.
Perfect. You should let them try it too.
Alright.
Sir Hu, try this.
Not bad. Where is it from?
That desert man just delivered it.
- Brother. - Desert man?
How come I've never seen you coming before?
Before, our brew would be all snatched up by the Northern Yan folks.
If it weren't for the war happening there, we wouldn't be here.
You two, come and try it.
Let me.
Come now.
Then you can go to Great Liang.
The people at Great Liang are such dandies.
They can't drink this kind of strong brew.
