[English subtitles are available] [Eternal Brotherhood] [Episode 1] Report! The commander-in-chief of the North Clan, Ge Sha, led 300,000 elite soldiers to attack. 300,000 soldiers? And they sent Ge Sha? He's the top warrior of the North Clan. They are serious this time. Do we have 30,000 soldiers? Not that many. General Ge Sha, the main troops are here. Team One! Heading north! Full speed ahead! Team One! Heading north! Full speed ahead! Roger! Shoot! Shoot! Team One! Heading north! Full speed ahead! Lord Xiu didn't order us to retreat! Report! The pioneer troops of the North Clan have crossed Mount Bayan. Already? Team Two. Heading south. Full speed ahead. Shoot! Team Two! Heading south! Full speed ahead! Isn't it 300,000 soldiers? Why is there only this many? Army to attack! Shoot! Retreat! Retreat! The army of the North Clan suddenly retreated. Are we still going after them? Don't move! There are 300,000 people on their side. Please let them go. If it were 300,000 soldiers, would they be chased and beaten by us? What if there's an ambush? We'd better ask Lord Xiu for his order. [Luo Jie, Ming Yu, Baichuan] Lord Xiu, the North Clan has retreated. Should we go after them? Gu Lei. How dare you wear Lord Xiu's armor! Don't! Lord Baichuan, don't hit me. Get down! Where did Lord Xiu go? He took a bath in the back mountain [Gu Lei] and had a barbecue. He should be asleep now. Lord Xiu, the hot water is ready. Three, two... No. I'm awake. I'm awake. What's so important? Did the soldiers rebel? It's only a matter of time. I'm here to... Luo Jie and Ming Yu dueled for you... [Zichuan Xiu] and they both died? Unfortunately, they are still living shamelessly. But the North Clan... Did the North Clan attack? In fact, we won. The North Clan is retreating. Should we chase... I can't believe we won! This is amazing. I'm going back to sleep. You really forced me this time. Chase them! It's God's will. This is too childish. I have considered it carefully. Luo Jie led the cavalry. They are more flexible and much faster than those big-bodied men from the North Clan. If they can't win in battle, can they not outrun them? I'm waiting to count my trophies. Behave yourself. Don't move. With only 5,000 soldiers, we forced the 300,000 troops of the North Clan to flee. Wonderful. Go. What's in the North Clan's supplies? Open it and let me see. Don't move. What makes you so nervous? Take them away. Yes. Sit tight. Go. [Ka Dan] I am Ka Dan, the Princess of the North Clan. Lord Xiu. Kill her and avenge our men! Yes, kill her! Kill her, My Lord. Put your weapon down! My Lord, kill her! Kill her! Let's go to a safe place and have a talk. The taxes of Dakai Province this quarter have increased by 20% compared to the last quarter. Not bad. It's stable. Report it to the Chieftain. [Luo Minghai] Lord Yang, you helped me five years ago. I brought you a gift when I was transferred to the capital. This is the specialty of our Diwei Province. Not bad. Did you prepare some for the Chieftain? I will send it to the Chieftain’s Mansion later. [Tongchui] My Lord. Be careful. It broke from here last time. [Tieshou] Next. [Yang Minghua] The drainage channel reconstruction work in the Imperial Capital has been completed ahead of schedule. We have repaired 73 damaged drainage channels and rebuilt 46. After completion, we'll be able to cope with the flood season. You may leave. Governing the drainage channels can prevent the people in the Imperial Capital from suffering from the inundation of rainwater, which is a good thing. Report from Yuanzhou. Victory at Hengchuan! 300,000 soldiers of the North Clan attacked Hengchuan and were defeated. How did they get to Hengchuan? Give it to me. Where is Ge Yingxing now? Lord Yang. Lord Ge didn't lead the army in this battle. Then who is the leader? Zichuan Xiu. Zichuan Xiu? Seven years ago, Zichuan Xiu was exiled to Yuanzhou. I remember now. I sent him there. Later, Lord Ge placed him in Hengchuan. Lord Ge is really foresighted. There are many doubts about the Hengchuan Battle. It seems that we should ask Zichuan Xiu back to the Imperial Capital to report how he fought this battle. Kneel! How did your commander-in-chief die? I don't know. Who can take the head of the enemy general among thousands of soldiers? There is such a master in Yuanzhou. It's gold. You must be rich. We can be friends. Lord Baichuan, you can't go in. Shameless! Lieutenant Baichuan. You're too reckless. Can't you see I'm interrogating the captive? How can you interrogate her with her mouth shut? -You were…
-What are you thinking? Do you think your boss is a pervert who would molest innocent girls? You are. You should think that way. This girl is Princess Ka Dan of the North Clan. She was in shock. That's why your superior, Captain Zichuan Xiu, who is of noble character, was comforting her without any selfish motive. Yes, I was comforting her. Princess Ka Dan, actually, I just wanted to help... Gu Lei. Yes. Guide Princess Ka Dan away. I'll interrogate her later. Princess, please. I... Lieutenant Baichuan, say it. I heard that the North Clan's army was in chaos because their commander-in-chief was assassinated secretly. Did you know about it? That's why you ordered us to chase them? I ordered you to chase them? Why didn't I know? Alright. Remember to write a good report. Then the reward will be abundant. What? We'll gather and stop fighting? Yes. Look, why don't you understand? What Lord Xiu did today is flawless. If we take all the credit, other troops will think we don't know our place. What should we do in the future? On the way back to Wayun, we will send a squad to guard Princess Ka Dan alone. Those soldiers in Yuanzhou hated the North Clan so much. Now that a princess from the North Clan came, they would want to eat her alive. More importantly, we have to guard against Lord Xiu. Be careful of his conspiracy. You may have to guard against him. Look. Lord Xiu was making a scene by molesting Ka Dan today. Everyone will think that he likes Ka Dan. Then who would dare to harm Ka Dan? 50,000 against 300,000. How dare he order us to chase them? When everyone wants to take advantage of the victory and seize the credit, he left. Those soldiers disrespected the princess. They behaved themselves after he pretended to be a hooligan. Is our captain ridiculous or extraordinary? You've only been following Lord Xiu for half a year. He has done more ridiculous things than you know. Why do I feel less and less familiar with him? One step, two steps. Like flying ducks, like dew on a lotus. Lady Ning, you're elegant. [Zichuan Ning] I dare not slack off for the glory of my family. Lady Ning. Lord Xiu's gift has arrived. [Mei] Madam, I have some official matters to attend to. Mei, let's go. Hurry up. Brother Xiu replied? Lady Ning, open it. This bastard. He gives me weird things every time. What does he mean? Lady Ning, I heard that a scorpion can only have one partner in its life. I think Lord Xiu wants to express his exclusive love for you. Fine, he's thoughtful. We won the battle at Hengchuan. As usual, we need to prepare a generous gift to pay tribute to the highest commander in Yuanzhou, Lord Ge Yingxing. This is good. What kind of gift is this? Our captain has been stationed in Hengchuan for seven years. Every time he won, he would prepare a box of garbage for Lord Ge. Lord Ge. Victory at Hengchuan! Lord Zichuan Xiu has escorted the prisoners to Wayun. He also sent gifts as usual. Garbage. [Weiming] Leather underwear? [Ge Yingxing] He learned it from me. Lord Yang. Lord Yang. Lord Canxing. [Zichuan Canxing] Hurry up. I received desserts from Diwei Province. This is... This... [Si Yilin] Si Yilin just broke something. He punished himself by standing in military posture for four hours. I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen. Let him be. A soldier should be like this. When my brother was alive, he... When my brother was alive, he usually gathered us together to eat these. When it has arrived, I thought of you immediately. So I told you to come. Let’s eat together. Lord Yuanxing treated me like his brother. Now that I think about it, it’s still like yesterday. Of course. You were the person my brother trusted the most. Of course, he trusted Ge Yingxing, too. Naturally, I treat you kindly. So you asked me to guard the Imperial Capital and asked Lord Ge to guard Yuanzhou. We'll help you protect Zichuan. I'm old. I can only rely on my brother's son and daughter. But Zichuan Xiu is a step-son. He's unstable and unreliable. I can only spend my twilight years in peace when Ning grows up. But Lord Yuanxing had always treated Xiu as his own. I heard that Xiu won a great battle in Hengchuan. Did you ask Luo Minghai to transfer him back to promote him? The battle in Hengchuan may not be a great victory. I called him back to know the situation. There are many false reports of war achievements on the frontline. If it's a great victory, he must be rewarded. I'm glad you're here. I have something important. This really troubles me. Look at this. Still these things? Yes. It seems that you have solved several steps more than before. Yes, I asked some young people for help. Lord Yang, take a look. I'm old. I'm done. I can't solve it. Commander Yang, that’s Chieftain's seat. Please get up. Don't move. Don't move. There's no one else. It's just a chair. Is it really hard to solve? Yes, it is. My brain hurts. Did you break it? I was too careless. It's okay. It's just a gadget, not a big deal. It's okay if it's broken. Nothing. But in this way, it seems to be solved. You are really a master with great wisdom. You found another way. Just kidding. I'll buy you a new one next time. Lord Canxing, I have work to do. Please excuse me. Lord Yang, thank you for your hard work. It's just a gadget. It's no big deal. You don’t need to stand for so long. Commander Yang, may I borrow your sword? You broke the Chieftain's stuff. You should be punished. I'll stand for four hours as a punishment with your sword. Can you take the punishment for anything I do? Remember to return my sword. It's indeed solved. [Memorial Tablet of Zichuan Yuanxing] Lord Zichuan Xiu insisted on waiting for you in the study. That's how he'll show his sincerity. He tricked you. Zichuan Xiu! Long time no see. Give it to me. What? [Luo Bo] Cut the crap. Where is my wine? Lord Luo. Is there wine in your office? That's impossible. You are disciplined and enforce the law strictly. Alright. Just leave my bottle of Liuyang Province's 20-year-old wine. You have a bottle of 20-year-old wine? You're so petty. I just came back from the victory. Shouldn't you give me a gift? Do you want the gift from the Imperial Capital? Yes. Victory at Hengchuan. The Ministry of War summoned Captain Zichuan Xiu to return to the Imperial Capital immediately to report. From Commander Yang Minghua. Actually, I don't want you to go back. I remember what happened seven years ago. According to the Ministry of Military and Legal Affairs, Zichuan Xiu mobilized the army without permission. It's a serious crime. He should be executed. For the sake of his loyalty to the Chieftain and his victory against the enemy, I hereby pardon Zichuan Xiu to be banished to Yuanzhou and serve the family. I have a bad memory now. Seven years ago, the Imperial Capital was attacked by the Liufeng family army. Lord Yuanxing died. When there was no leader, you were the one who led 800 cavalries and started a mutiny and obtained military power. You did a great job. Yet Yang Minghua listed several charges against you. He wanted to kill you. It's all thanks to Lord Ge and Lady Ning for speaking for you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been alive today. After winning this battle, you broke the balance between the Imperial Capital and Yuanzhou, as well as the balance between Yang Minghua and Lord Ge. Do you think Yang Minghua will let you go like he did seven years ago? This time, they pretended to offend. Their real purpose is to build their own pass in Hengchuan. But people in the Imperial Capital don't know. I transferred all the garrisons back. Only you disobeyed my order. Yang Minghua will make a big fuss about this. So, if I go back, they'll be targeting me. If I don't go back, they'll be targeting Lord Ge. [Di Lin] Lord Yang. I heard that there was a great victory at Hengchuan and you want to transfer Zichuan Xiu back. What do you think? There are indeed many battles in history where the few defeated the many. But 300,000 soldiers suddenly retreated. It's not common. That's why I want him to come back to undergo interrogation. Okay, I'll bring him back. You? Lord Yang. You used the word "interrogate" just now. So I have to share your burden. I don't think it's a good idea. The whole Imperial Capital knows that you hold a deep grudge against him. If you go, I'm afraid you'll kill him. Please grant my wish. I want him alive. Promise me. I'll keep him alive. There's news from the post. Zichuan Xiu will enter the Imperial Capital tomorrow morning. He didn't bring many people with him. It's a secret arrest. Please keep a low profile. I want him alive. Boss. Everything is ready. Okay. Let everyone rest here. We'll enter the Imperial Capital tomorrow morning. Baichuan, come with me. You have a special mission. If you don't go, I'll give your horse to Luo Jie. Lord Xiu, why are we in the Imperial Capital early? The Imperial Capital is too serious during the day. It's boring. It's more fun to travel on a boat during the night. I'm not here for fun. What's my special mission? As expected of Baichuan. We entered the Imperial Capital in advance just to inquire about information. What information? Do you really think we are here to receive the reward? Lord Xiu, you're coming to such a place as soon as you're back? Long time no see. Long time no see. Please come in. Please. Chunfeng Garden. It's indeed the window of the Imperial Capital. The officers of each army like to drink here. Come here. Look, those two people must be the Palace Guards. Stop staring at them. The people sitting at that table are obviously from the Military Inspection Team. And those with jade stamps on the boots are from the Ministry of War. My trip to the Imperial Capital must be very dangerous. So I came to check the situation first. Let's go. Outsiders. Leave now! I'm an outsider. I have to leave. I'm here to receive the reward. I'm a hero. Zichuan Xiu! Zichuan Xiu. I'm under the order of Commander Yang Minghua to arrest you. Surrender now! Yang Minghua? Why did he arrest me? I did nothing wrong. How dare you! How is Xiujia? How can you call her by her name? She's your sister-in-law. Surrender now. You really... My wife is good. You think you can defeat me? If Si Yilin and I didn't lose to you in the die-casting game, how can you call her your wife... Aren't you ashamed? She's destined to be my wife. Fine, I'll kill you here today. How is Ning? Don't worry. They're all safe. Stop eating. That's enough. You live in the Imperial Capital. You have no idea how terrible the food in Yuanzhou is. Do you know how dangerous it is for you to come back this time? I've thought about it. The only crime they can accuse me of is my bad behavior. If I don't come back, Lord Ge will be in danger. Since you're back, you have to listen to me. What's your plan? Take him away. Get in. Behave! The secret tunnel. The secret tunnel? Is it so obvious? It's been seven years. I didn't expect this secret room to still exist. In the past seven years, the Imperial Capital has been peaceful. Who still uses a secret tunnel? It's so comfortable. Aren't you supposed to come to the capital tomorrow morning? Why were you sneaking in at midnight? If I hadn't come in early to inquire about the information, I wouldn't even know how I'd die tomorrow. If I hadn't caught you tonight, you'd be dead. Would Yang Minghua be relieved when you came to capture me? After all, I betrayed you seven years ago. That's why I established a foothold in the Ministry of War. That's why you went to Yuanzhou. Our acting was so real. He should believe it. Who is it? Who? -Who is it?
-Second Brother. Second Brother. Let's get down to business. I've asked Lord Canxing. He went to Yang Minghua. Yang said he won't let you go. I knew it. I'm going to die. Why did you show off then? If you retreat normally in the Battle of Hengchuan, there won't be much trouble. I must fight the battle of Hengchuan. I must also return to the Imperial Capital. Didn't you tell me to follow your plan? I'll go to Yang Minghua tomorrow morning and tell him you came back in the middle of the night and got caught by me. Tonight, I will let everyone in the Imperial Capital know the victory of Hengchuan and Zichuan Xiu is back in triumph. Yang Minghua has to let you go. You asked your Royal Escorts to do this overnight? The military report is full of great victory at Hengchuan. It was done, but not by us. It was done by Lady Ning. So you have to go back and wait. She might come to you after she's done. Well, I... I need to wash up. Lord Yang, we've caught Zichuan Xiu. But he is a scoundrel. He won't easily reveal what we want. Just kill him. That's the easy way to deal with it. You're the general of Zichuan, not a murderer. Lord Yang, I'm afraid we can't kill him. Now the whole city knows that this young general is back. I'm afraid the people at the gate are holding announcements and waiting for him. They're trying to use public opinion to force us to release him. Lord Di Lin arrested him last night. This morning, it's known to the whole capital. Zichuan Xiu has left the Imperial Capital for seven years. Someone actually cares so much about him. I'm afraid this chess piece... Sit. Thank you, Lord Yang. What can save people can also kill people. The victory at Hengchuan is unusual. The Ministry of War has long suspected it. I beg to report this case to the Ministry of Military and Legal Affairs, and ask them to investigate this case and hold a trial. If the people find out that Zichuan Xiu's military achievement is just a lie, then the great joy will be turned into extreme anger. Lord Luo, you want to drag him to the public and kill him. But the Ministry of Military and Legal Affairs is not under our jurisdiction... The Muhai Sea in the northwest is open. This should be the first crab they caught. He's back showing off his glory. We'll have a fair trial. Eat crabs.
