General and I (A Lonesome Fragrance Waiting to Be Appreciated / 孤芳不自赏)

Ping Ting?

Bai Ping Ting!

Bai Ping Ting!

Bai Ping Ting!

Bai Ping Ting!

You lied to me!

You lied to me!

You lied to me!

Your Majesty, King of Yan has sent a handwritten letter.

Bring it over.

I made a treaty of alliance with Great Jin out of sincerity.

Little did I expect Your Majesty to act in bad faith.

I can't tolerate such actions.

I'd advise Your Majesty to hand over Bai Ping Ting as promised.

If not, Great Yan will break the treaty and wage all-out war with Jin.

Till death do we rest.

A wolf in sheep's clothing.

If he had the ability to go against me

why would he even negotiate a deal in the first place?

Has anyone heard from Prince of Zhenbei?

- Shouldn't you be searching for him? - Yes!

Hold it!

Be cautious.

Just search for him in private.

No one in the army must know that Prince of Zhenbei is missing.

I understand.

Your Majesty.

King of Yan is looking for Bai Ping Ting.

Could she still be alive?

Bai Ping Ting definitely can't die.

King of Yan exchanged 15 copper mines for her.

I can't turn down such a deal.

And I shouldn't.

I don't understand.

Bai Ping Ting is but a maidservant.

Why would King of Yan pay such a huge price for her?

If he lusts after her, he could easily have her in his harem

with any excuse before he took out Prince of Jing An's Manor.

Unless...

Bai Ping Ting holds the key to other secrets?

Secrets that are much more valuable than 15 copper mines?

Noble Consort has a point.

Someone might have the answer.

Will you come clean or not?

Don't even dream about it!

Keep hitting him!

His Majesty arrives!

Greetings to Your Majesty!

How is the interrogation?

At the moment, nothing yet.

What?

Your Majesty.

This man is really tight-lipped.

I have used various methods, but I can't get him to speak.

Release him.

This is...

Release him!

Yes!

I won't gobble you up.

Why are you so guarded?

You didn't reveal a word even when tortured.

Are the bones in your body quite tough?

I've always admired those who are loyal.

I'd like to make friends with you.

Friends?

The enemy of my enemy could be my friend.

Have you not heard of that?

My enemy is King of Yan.

He is also your enemy.

That makes us friends.

As if!

You also played a part in Prince of Jing An Manor's massacre.

You're also our enemy!

You don't see me as a friend. But what about Miss Bai?

She should be your friend.

Sister Bai? What have you done to her?

Hold him!

Little man.

It seems that you care greatly for your Sister Ping Ting.

She was taken away by Prince of Zhenbei yesterday.

She is here in the lands of Great Jin.

What on earth do you want?

I won't allow you to hurt her!

Let go of me!

Hurt her?

She's now critically wounded and hanging onto her last breath.

Would I still need to hurt her?

What did you say?

Sister Bai is... She is...

You...

Let go of me!

Bai Ping Ting is very talented.

It's a pity that she won't live long.

I have nothing to do with her death.

I can't think of a reason to go to great pains to save her.

What is it that you want?

It's simple.

Tell me why King of Yan insists on keeping her alive.

Perhaps I might save you.

Fine.

Since you refuse to tell me, don't blame me for being ruthless.

- Guards! - Present!

- Kill Bai Ping Ting! - Yes!

I'll tell you! I will!

Don't kill her!

You're willing to tell me now?

Tell me about it then.

It's... it's because...

It's because of the military manual.

Military manual?

Sister Bai has a military manual that's been passed down in her family.

She memorized it.

It's said that one who has the military manual will have the world.

It's no wonder that woman is so valuable.

But that moron Murong Su will never have the world.

It's because the world will definitely be mine.

No... You lied to me.

You also want to have Sister Bai to yourself!

Sima Hong, you...

Gag him.

We don't need him to talk anymore.

- Yes! - Yes!

Sima Hong!

I'll kill you!

Sima Hong!

Don't hurt Sister Bai!

Sima Hong!

What are they putting up?

"Dong Zhuo of Yan State spied on our country."

"He probed into our confidential military documents and reports."

"He acted as a spy for Yan State."

- Treacherous spy! - How abominable!

- Kill him! - Then we won't have to suffer!

- Torture him to death! - So many soldiers were killed!

It's all their fault!

What is the use of being young?

Why is he beaten so badly?

Kill him!

He is the spy from Yan State that was caught two days ago.

Kill him!

A spy never ends well.

What can't he be? He has to be a spy?

Kill him!

- He got so many people killed! - Exactly!

- Torture him to death! - Kill him!

- Kill him! - It's all their fault!

- Kill him! - Spy!

Kill him! Kill him!

- Torture him! - Spy!

Dong Zhuo!

Wake up!

Sister Bai?

I'd advise you not to untie this rope.

Chu Bei Jie...

When do you act so recklessly?

Save us.

How?

This is all net and snares.

Every thread is tied to a bell.

One move and the entire net will fall.

Once the bells ring, 300 imperial guards will come rushing out.

Both of you will never make it out of here.

Why did you lie to me and then leave?

Have you forgotten what we said to each other last night?

You really don't have a solution?

I will give you one more chance.

Come with me.

I won't go with you.

I will never leave Dong Zhuo here alone.

I would rather die here than leave with you.

Whatever happened yesterday or in the past

it was just your wishful thinking that I had any interest in you.

Take him away now!

Quickly!

Let's go!

Someone has taken the prisoner away!

- Round them up! - Get on the horse!

Chu Bei Jie!

What will you do if we leave?

The city gates will be open for another hour.

I just want you to stay alive.

Attack!

Leave now!

Close the gates! Stop her!

You know where Young Master is, right?

Go and meet up with him.

Leave the horse to me.

I have to head back.

Ping Ting, have you gone mad?

We just escaped from there.

Why are you heading back there now?

Sima Hong is after me.

My life for your life.

This has nothing to do with Chu Bei Jie.

I can't let him die for nothing.

Chu Bei Jie is Jin State's Prince of Zhenbei.

How could Sima Hong possibly kill him?

Ping Ting, even if he does get killed

doesn't that avenge Prince of Jing An's Manor?

Treason means capital punishment.
