"On if you survive, can you accomplish your dreams." "On if you survive, can you take back what belong to you." "This world is never fair." "In this wold, you can't rely on anyone else." "You can only count on yourself." "I must survive." "You must survive." "I swear to the sky in Yanbei" "I will take back what I lost." "I will make the entire Chang'an pay." "You must survive and go back to Yanbei." "Xian Wan, at 9 p.m." "you need to kill the prison guards to prevent them from sending any sign to others who will disturb our plan." "Remember." "Do it as quiet as possible." "You must kill all of them before a stick of incense burns out." "Yes, Madam." "Yu Jiang, bring the second group with you and lay in ambush outside the gate of Xiaoqi Camp to coordinate with us." "You are responsible to cut off the communication among Xiaoqi Camp, Chang'an Office and the prison when we start our move." "Do you best to stall the soldiers for one hour." "Yes, Madam." "Si Xuan, Si Die" "Feng Mian and I will break into the prison." "No matter what method we use, we need to find a way to get in in fifteen minutes to save His Highness even it means there will be sacrifices." "His Highness may be badly injured and can't move on his own." "We need to escort him to Wei Pin Pavilion in the Street of Rosefinch before the sun rises." "There will be someone to take care of us." "Once His Highness arrives, we shall split into three groups escaping from the Eastern, Western and Northern gate to get out of the city by force." "I have made some arrangements at the gates." "Once our people arrive, they will take control over the gates." "We only need fifteen minutes." "After we get out of the city, burn the gates immediately." "In the meantime, Yu Jiang, Xian Wan, you two set fire at the footholds to create chaos and attract attention so that we can have enough time to escape." "Yes, Madam." "Everyone, we are on a tight schedule." "We don't have time to make a plan more thoroughly." "During the previous mission, we had many sacrifices." "We may be short of people." "However, the Duke's entire family was killed." "His Highness, the Prince, is in danger." "This is a Hail Mary." "I hope everyone can work with each other." "We need to rescue His Highness even if it means to sacrifice our own lives." "Yes, Madam." "(Sound of running)" "(Sound of riding horses)" "Initiate the plan now." "It's not the time yet." "Yu Jiang hasn't started yet." "It doesn't matter anymore." "If His Highness gets hurt, our effort will be in vain." "(Sound of riding horses)" "Here comes the enemy." "Let's go." "(Sound of pulling out swords)" "Prince." "This..." "This..." "Open the gate." "(Sound of opening the gate)" "Prince Yan Xun is of good luck indeed." "You are in prison now, but you still have a beautiful companion." "You still got visitors." "What are you doing here?" "I am checking up on you." "We are friends." "Now you are in trouble." "It would be inappropriate of me, if I didn't show up." "Why are you looking at me like that?" "Do you hate me?" "You shouldn't." "I only killed your pregnant sister." "It is nothing compared to" "Yuwen Huai killing your father," "Wei Guang planned to massacre all the inhabitants of your city and Yuwen Yue shot you." "What's the matter?" "You didn't know?" "You really thought His Majesty would kill your father for no reason?" "He ordered Yuwen Yue to collect intel from your family through the Eyes of God a long time ago." "You didn't know the fact that your best friend already knew this, but chose not to tell you." "They are the ones who are trying to end your life." "Nonsense." "On the day when you got out of the city of Chang'an, someone shot you at the last minute, right?" "It was him." "(Laughing)" "He deliberately spread the words across the entire city." "Even His Majesty rewarded him with great honour." "He is a loyal subject." "Yan Xun, there was no trouble between us at the very beginning." "It was a shame that your family was too unfortunate." "How dare you annoy me." "I have a lot of life experiences." "However, I have never stood to lose." "I won't kill you today." "You like this girl, right?" "I will cut off all of her fingers." "Let's see whether you still like her in that case." "I dare you." "Go." "(Sound of the bowl breaking)" "(Sound of fighting)" "Chu." "(Sound of beating)" "Stop it." "Don't move." "(Sound of beating and capturing)" "Behave." "Let go of her." "Bitch." "Do you remember what you owed me?" "Zhao Xifeng." "I will kill you." "You will kill me?" "Even a homeless dog looks better than you right now." "I can kill you very easily." "You will kill me?" "Do it to me." "You are a bitch anyway." "Someone will kill you, even if that person isn't me." "I only want some fingers." "Take mine then." "Take mine." "You are indeed a loving couple." "Since we were friends, if you want to be the one who sacrifices," "I shall make it happen." "(Sound of throwing down a knife)" "Do it yourself." "(Sound of taking the knife)" "Yan Xun." "Don't do it." "Yan Xun." "Do it now." "Let go of her." "Give me back what you owe me." "Yan Xun." "(Sound of pulling out the knife)" "Don't do it." "Yan Xun." "Yan Xun." "(Sound of struggling)" "Yan Xun." "Have you forgotten what I told you?" "Don't do it." "Do it." "Don't do it." "I am not worth it." "Don't do it." "Don't do it." "Yan Xun." "You are definitely worth it." "To me, you are the most important person in the whole world." "(Sound of cutting)" "Yan Xun." "Yan Xun." "(Sound of struggling)" "Let go of me." "Yan Xun." "Zhao Xifeng." "Are you satisfied now?" "Not yet." "I want you to cut off your entire hand, but you only cut off one finger." "Are you kidding me?" "I will kill you." "Chu." "(Smirking)" "(Sound of fighting)" "Miss Yu, the people from Qiaoqi Camp will arrive in no time." "We better leave now." "If we all die, then His Highness is without hope." "Retreat." "Retreat." "Retreat." "(Sound of fighting)" "Princess, the officials are about to arrive here." "Let's go as well." "Commandant-escort Zhao." "Some people are trying to break in here." "We can't defeat them." "You better get out of here by the back door." "Let's go." "(Sound of pushing in swords)" "(Sound of struggling)" "(Crying)" "Chu." "Please don't cry." "I am fine." "(Crying)" "You cut off your own finger." "You can't hold a sword anymore." "You can't shoot anymore." "(Crying)" "See," "I only cut off the pinky of my left hand." "Losing it won't prevent me from holding a sword, shooting or drawing a bow." "(Crying)" "Please don't cry." "It was just a finger." "It would kill me if I couldn't protect you when you were in danger." "(Crying)" "Yan Xun." "(Crying)" "(Sound of running)" "We have captured the one who murdered Master Luo." "However, the murderer is already dead." "There were two groups of people fighting outside just now." "I didn't even know the reason." "Are the prisoners all right?" "They were fine, until Young Master Zhao Xifeng came." "He wanted to cut off the woman's hand." "What happened?" "The Prince stopped him." "He cut off his own finger instead." "Young Master Yue." "Young Master Yue." "(Sound of opening the gate)" "How are you?" "I will survive." "Yan Xun." "Don't say another word." "I have one question for you." "On the day when I tried to escape out of Chang'an," "someone shot me at the last minute." "Was it yours Arrow of Ice?" "Yes." "His Majesty ordered you to gather evidence that Duke Yanbei was plotting a rebellion." "Was it true?" "Yes." "(Breathing heavily)" "When Zhao Doting escorted my mother back to Yanbei, he made a detour to Camp Jiangbei and brought fifty thousand soldiers with him." "You knew that?" "Yes." "You knew His Majesty wanted to kill my father." "Yan Xun." "I have been trying to imply it to you." "On the day when you got on Jiuyou Platform, before applying the sentence," "did you think about those so-called implications?" "We have been friends for ten years." "It was about the life of my entire family in Yanbei." "All you could do was to imply it?" "Did you steal the letter from" "Duke Dingbei to Yan Xun and give it to His Majesty?" "How did you know?" "Yuwen Yue." "I don't have a friend like you." "Just go." "(Sound of closing up the gate)" "If someone comes to see them, you need to notify His Young Master immediately." "You need to provide them with the most effective medicine and good food." "If Prince Yan Xun is in danger again, you will be the one to blame." "Yes, sir." "Yes, sir." "They fought for one hour." "Both sides had sacrifices." "After people from the Xiaoqi Camp arrived, some of them escaped." "The officials in Chang'an dealt with the corpses." "They didn't look familiar at all." "However, based on the type of weapons and their martial art, it is very likely that they are from private organisations." "We are still investigating the reason why they fought in front of the prison," "Does it need to be investigated?" "The prison is heavily guarded." "How could some private organisation deal with that?" "Song." "Are you really confused or you are just pretending?" "I am not lying." "You are very kind." "I won't blame you." "There is one thing you need to understand though." "You need to take a stand in friend-making." "Yan Xun's families are rebels." "Making friends with the enemy will eventually harm yourself and people around you." "I am so sorry." "Any of these doesn't matter right now." "The crucial thing is some subjects of Yan Shicheng are still fighting against us." "The places we have conquered need to be governed." "Song, can you do that for me?" "Father." "You are assigning me to govern those places?" "I..." "Never mind." "You are too soft-hearted." "You don't know how to lead the troops." "Besides, you are not capable of governing." "If only Che'er is here" "He is the best choice" "How about calling him back?" "Father, Luo Yongchen is dead" "Shall we find someone to take his charge?" "Let's just wait for now" "Then father" "I shall leave" "Father doesn't appoint anyone to take the job of Luo" "Maybe he can't find the right person" "Can't find the right person?" "He wants the prison to become a place without commander" "His attitude is telling everyone:" "he never really wants to remit Yan's death whoever hates him can take the chance to do whatever..." "Chun'er" "Don't make comment on our father" "But that's what he means" "Chun'er" "Brother, how poor brother Yan Xun is" "Why does our father treat him like this?" "Every time I close my eyes the memory at Jiu You will flash back again and again" "I am so heartbroken" "How does he feel now?" "He must be so hateful so painful" "Prison" "You are awake" "Are you thirsty?" "I'll get you some water" "Slowly" "Here" "Drink it" "You haven't eat anything the whole day" "Must be hungry" "I'm OK" "Jailer, jailer" "What's up?" "What's up?" "The prince woke up?" "Do you have any food?" "Yes, yes" "The master Yue of Yuwen family told me" "I'll take care of you" "Food" "One minute" "Here" "Prince, your food" "Here" "Don't hesitate to tell me what you need" "Thank you" "You are welcome." "I shall leave" "Here, drink it" "A'chu" "Have you eaten anything?" "I'm not hungry" "Eat something or you'll get sick" "Taste good?" "Yes" "A'chu" "I wanted to take you back to Yan to enjoy the life" "Never imagined that you and I ended up here" "I'm sorry" "I'll never promise you anything from now on" "I'll make you safe if I have the chance" "Yan Xun, when you were a prince" "I never looked upon you for your identity" "Now you are here, why would I despise you for losing it?" "I want to be your friend, not because you are the prince of Yan but because who you are" "And," "I don't think the current situation is too bad" "See?" "We have food to eat, place to live" "We are still alive" "I believe you'll stage a comeback one day" "I'll follow you to enjoy my life by then" "What should I do after I go to Yan with you" "Set up a gongfu school" "I can teach boxing" "Wait," "I don't want to fight with people anymore" "And you told me" "Yan is peaceful" "People there can choose their lives" "Didn't you said we can hunt horses on Xiuli Mountain?" "We can set a stud-farm" "Then I'll ride a horse lead cavalries" "How cool it will be" "If anyone hurts me" "I'll tell you to send your man to beat him" "I want to try the life of bullying the weak that day as well" "Fool, fool" "Fool, fool" "Xing'er, Xing'er" "Xing'er, Xing'er" "(Screaming)" "Someone is protecting Yan Xun privately" "Yes" "Do you know who he is?" "Not yet" "I've sent someone to check it up" "The check and evaluate in these three years, background, resume of all officials has been collected and sent to us by the Li Department as you've asked" "Anyone suitable for going to Yan?"

"The governor of State Yi, Li Xian comes from civilian family but is full of resource and strategy" "It's just that he is a little bit old" "He is 56 now" "The older is more prudent than the younger" "The age is not a disadvantage" "And the Mid-Class-General of armed escort, Jiang Wei" "He has worked for" "Cheji General, Yang Mingqi" "He is experienced of commanding in the war he is caution at military and literature" "He is a famous civilized general" "But his blood is humble" "He has been a servant for Yang Mingqi's family" "If he really is capable, his birth will not be a problem" "What you said is right" "The Governor of State Su was a civil official at first" "But he has a good acknowledge of military strategy" "He has led the villagers to repulse the roving bandits many times" "He is a practical man" "There are too many people who speak but not act now" "We need such practical people" "You really are wise, to pick out the real talented person" "They can only serve the country led by you" "Master" "These are all the check and evaluate for officials these three years" "All here" "Exclude all the people from the grand families and royal families" "Then rule out all the people that promote fast, that are resourceful or making firm relationships with grand families" "Yes" "Leave out people without gongfu" "Eliminate people without family" "Put aside people from Yan" "Remove people without military experiences" "Pick out all the people from Huaibei and send the list to me" "Master, only three persons are left" "Send out the information" "Yes" "Chun'er, do you believe what Yuwen Yue said?" "I live in the palace since my childhood" "Sometimes," "I don't actually involve but I do know something" "Yuwen Zhuo has been the head of agents for so many years" "And the ice cube Yuwen Yue is raised by him" "He is wise and flexible" "On breaking people's mind or politic tactics twenty minds of mine can not beat his alone" "No matter what he'll do or what he wants to do" "The only thing I need to ensure is that he really wants to save brother Yan Xun" "Chun'er" "How do you know what does he really want?" "Than who else can we trust?" "Our mother?" "Father?" "Or anyone else?"

"Once they start to fight for the vacant of governor of Yan" "Yan Xun has a chance to survive" "The princess agreed to do as your plan" "But how could you save prince Yan's life, master?"
