Currently, Ming Ju commands an army of thirty thousand troops, while the Wei Bei Army stationed in Qingzhou numbers fewer than a thousand. Moreover, they are occupied with cutting down trees to create firebreaks. If the enemy launches a sudden attack on the city, it may not be able to hold out for more than two days. Yin Luomei decides to take a risky path through Mo Zhou to seek reinforcements.

Trusting in Yin Luomei’s abilities, Murong Jinghe orders Qing Yan and General Yuan to immediately strengthen the city defenses and gather all supplies in the city under Li Jie’s unified management. In this moment of crisis, it is crucial to keep both the soldiers and citizens steady. Many citizens in the city volunteer to join the army.

Those not enlisted are assigned to help settle the displaced citizens, while most of the Wei Bei Army is directed to fight the mountain fires. Mei Lin’s Mo Vein poison relapses, and Murong Jinghe notices her condition. He arranges for a doctor to examine her, and Mei Lin truthfully tells the doctor about her illness, asking him to keep it secret from the King until the matter is resolved. However, Mei Lin's symptoms, like fatigue and cold sweats, are too evident.

The doctor informs her that only silver needles applied to the Hegu point can stop the sweating, but it will cause excruciating pain. Mei Lin, determined not to arouse Murong Jinghe's suspicion, insists on receiving the needle treatment and appears normal afterward. The scouts report that Ming Ju has mobilized the entire force of Xiyan’s three divisions to attack Qingzhou, now approaching less than fifty miles away, placing the city in extreme danger.

Murong Jinghe stands worriedly on the city gate, hoping for Yin Luomei to return soon with reinforcements. Mei Lin personally brings him food, trying to comfort him not to worry too much. Elsewhere, Yin Luomei leads a small group of officers in a bold assault on the enemy camp. However, she is struck in the left eye by a poisoned arrow. To prevent the poison from spreading and affecting military operations, she resolutely removes the wounded eye with a dagger.

Her deputy, Jiang Tu, shields her from the enemy’s spears with his own body. Swallowing her grief, Yin Luomei rides away from the enemy camp. Soon, Ming Ju notices that only citizens are guarding the city gates, suspecting that the real defenders are few in number and unable to endure a second fire. However, Ming Ju does not rely solely on fire attacks to capture Qingzhou.

His fire attack was merely a tactic to disperse the Wei Bei Army, and he plans to send an advance force to cross the river and build a bridge that night, intending to launch a full assault in the morning. That night, Wei Laoer and others fought valiantly, despite never having undergone military training. Though they were not actual soldiers, they were filled with a burning desire to defend their city and serve their country.

Ming Ju fell for Murong Jinghe’s deceptive tactic, becoming uncertain about Qingzhou’s actual defensive strength, and ordered a retreat. Despite successfully defending the city in this first battle, Wei Laoer and others perished on the battlefield. Seeing Wei Laoer still carrying her sachet, A Ga wept bitterly, and Mei Lin’s heart ached as well. Murong Jinghe knew the empty city tactic could only be used once.

If Ming Ju uncovered the real situation in the city, Qingzhou might not hold out for even half a day. Once the firebreaks were finally completed, Ming Ju quickly realized this and launched a large-scale attack. Facing the overwhelming difference in numbers, there was no chance of holding out defensively. Murong Jinghe decided to lead the Wei Bei Army’s vanguard unit in a nighttime raid on Ming Ju’s camp to delay his assault on the city.

Before departing, Murong Jinghe asked Qing Yan to prepare food and drink, and Mei Lin saw them off with encouraging words. Murong Jinghe had each person share their wishes, and though they were well aware of the danger, everyone remained cheerful, unafraid to sacrifice as long as it meant their families could live in peace. Everyone was curious about Qing Yan’s wish. He, an orphan raised by the King, simply expressed contentment in continuing to serve by his lord’s side.

In contrast, Murong Jinghe openly declared his desire to marry Mei Lin. Amid the cheering, Mei Lin agreed to Murong Jinghe’s wish and hoped to see another snowfall in Qingzhou. In the dead of night, Murong Jinghe led the vanguard in a stealthy infiltration of the enemy camp. Initially, the mission went smoothly, but they were eventually discovered and surrounded. Outnumbered, the vanguard fought fiercely, and many sacrificed their lives.

Qing Yan, to protect Murong Jinghe, ignited a stash of gunpowder, sacrificing himself along with the enemy forces. At the critical moment, Yue Qin arrived with a horse for Murong Jinghe, urging him to escape quickly. Mei Lin stood alone on the city wall, watching into the distance. Finally, she saw Murong Jinghe return on horseback, wounded. Murong Jinghe embraced Mei Lin tightly, weeping. Fortunately, Yin Luomei completed her mission, returning with fifty thousand reinforcements, forcing Ming Ju to flee.

Murong Jinghe, seeking revenge for those who sacrificed, drove a spear through Ming Ju. Yue Qin ordered a ceasefire and led his army back to Xiyan. Amid the swirling snowfall, the citizens of Qingzhou rejoiced, cheering in celebration. Mei Lin ran toward Murong Jinghe but fainted into his arms.
