"Episode 3"

Are you all right?

What are you doing?

Mr. Lang.

What's going on?

What's all the commotion?
Why carry a corpse into my room?

Do you know this person?

A little familiar. I think
I've seen him somewhere before.

Not just that. You even know him.

You asked him to bring
this letter into the palace.

When we caught him,

he wanted to burn the letter.

But he failed. So, he took
the poison and committed suicide.

Mr. Wei, what is the secret
in this letter?

How would I know what's written in it?

Mr. Lang looks so angry.

I supposed you've read it.

There's nothing odd about it.

It's just a letter to send regards
to Eunuch Chen.

But...

we found another letter
from this person’s room at the inn.

When both letters
are stacked together,

there are three sentences in it.

Do you want me to read it?

Yes.

That's right.

I wrote this letter.

Yang Biao is my subordinate.

Turning him in is as good
as turning me in.

He used your influence to commit
crimes which ruin your reputation.

-He causes only trouble.
-But I won't collude with outsiders,

to harm Mr. Lang's interests.

But you'll be like the Dilu Horse
and cause Mr. Lang to fall,

and get him into trouble.

Say no more.

Yang Biao, punish him for me.

Don't kill him.

Yes.

Mr. Yang.

Mr. Lang wants you to punish me.

You're going a little overboard.

Young lady, he's getting married.
What are you looking at?

I want to see him for one last time.

If he's gone, I won't
be able to see him anymore.

You can head back first.

How could we leave you here
by yourself?

This whip is to punish you
for causing trouble out of nothing.

Wang Xiao Li couldn't take it
and jumped off the building.

I didn't push her down.

You actually wrote a letter
to empress to expose me?

Wei Guang.

You racked your brains
to get me killed.

You want me dead.

Don't make a sound.

The next few whips
are on behalf of Mr. Lang.

Mr. Lang has always been
a person of high standards.

He has his eyes only on
Ye Ning Zhi when he gets to Han City.

You dare to steal the woman he likes.

Do you deserved to be beaten?

No, don't. If this goes on,
he'll be beaten to death.

Young lady, get down.

You're so charming.

Why don't you be my woman?

From today onwards,

if anyone asks you,
tell them you're my woman.

Mr. Lang has always been
a person of high standards.

He has his eyes only on
Ye Ning Zhi when he gets to Han City.

You dare to steal the woman he likes.

It turns out that...

this is all because of me.

I wasn't even aware of it.

I wasn't even aware of it.

-Where are you going?
-I want to save Mr. Wei.

He's beaten because of me.
I can't leave him alone.

How are you going to interfere?

That's the military
commander's residence.

Didn't you see
there are so many guards?

Can you beat them
by turning somersaults?

You can't save Mr. Wei.
Instead, you will get yourself caught.

What is this called?
Treading on dangerous ground.

Mr Wei won't be able
to save you then.

That's right. If I can't beat them,
I have to outwit them.

Let's go.

Let's go home and stage an opera.

We'll invite that corrupted officer.

-Young lady, wait up!
-Wait up!

Have you thought it through?

That corrupted officer is hateful.

But you fabricated the evidence.
Should anything go wrong,

you'll commit a capital offence.

Why don't we reconsider it,
and wait for the next opportunity?

-I can't stand it anymore.
-Young lady, my heart is pounding.

Stop talking me out of it.

I'm risking it all this time.

If you go on trying to persuade me,
you're no longer my besties.

Let's get ready.

Welcome. Please come in.

Mr. Lang, you're here.

I heard that you have a new show
that's really brilliant.

I would like to see it.

Yes, it's called the fire dance.

Mr. Lang, please come in.

Great!

Great!

Great!

Great!

Great!

-Great!
-Great!

Sir.

Sir, are you all right?

-Sir.
-Hurry.

Sir, you're a merciful person.

-Sir, it was a loss of control.
-That's right.

It wasn't a loss of control.

I want to burn this scum!

You should know it better
the reason I'm doing this.

What did you say?

-Is she crazy?
-I...

Of course you wish that I'm crazy.

You want me to commit suicide
like Wang Xiao Li did.

Then, no one can testify against you.

Wang Xiao Li?

A bunch of nonsense.

Young lady, return to the backstage.
Leave it to us.

Be good.

I'm sure everyone
knows Wang Xiao Li,

the daughter
of the silk satin shop's owner,

down at the South Street.

Half a month ago, she jumped off
the building and committed suicide.

No one knows the reason.
But actually...

she was raped
by this corrupted officer.

-Is that true?
-Mr. Yang, what's going on?

Do you know it's a capital offence
to frame a government officer?

Sir, we watched Ning Zhi grow up.

She's not the kind of person
who would talk nonsense.

On the 28th of last month...

you lied that Xiao Li's mum
fainted in Bei Di Temple.

You tricked Xiao Li into the temple.

You raped her
while no one was around.

Ms. Xiao Li kept begging you.

She begged you to let her go.

But what did you do?

You threatened her,

that you'll burn down
the silk satin shop,

and arrest her entire family.

I've never been to Bei Di Temple.

Later on, I found out
that she couldn't take it,

and committed suicide
by jumping off the building.

It's all your fault.

You killed Ms. Xiao Li.

Ms. Ning Zhi, don't worry.

We'll seek justice for Ms. Xiao Li.

Seek justice!

-Seek justice!
-Also, you said Mr. Lang...

Mr. Lang?

What about Mr. Lang?

Young lady, say it. Don't be afraid.

Back then, in order to gain
Ms. Xiao Li's trust,

you lied and said that
Mr. Lang had his eyes on her,

and that he'll make a move
on her sooner or later.

If Ms. Xiao Li be with you,
you would surely protect her.

Mr. Lang, there's no such thing.

I've been wrongly accused.

Today, Mr. Lang
came to see us perform.

He's an upright person.

He's not the kind of person
you claimed he is.

For the sake of your own
sexual desire,

you even dare to slander
your own master.

-You're insane.
-You're insane.

-You're insane.
-That's right. You're insane.

All men are equal
in the eyes of the law.

Act in accordance to the law.
Send him to the government office.

Take care, sir.

Mr. Lang is wise.

Since Mr. Lang has said it,
what are we waiting for?

Beat him up!

-Beat him up!
-Beat him up!

-Beat him up!
-Beat him up!

-Beat him up!
-Beat him up!

-Let go of me!
-Beat him up!

Wei Guang, are you feeling better?

Mr. Lang, the people beaten
Mr. Yang into such a state.

Should we get a physician
to check up on him?

Get a physician.

The two of you.

Bring Mr. Yang back
to his room to rest.

Mr. Lang.

Mr. Lang, I was framed.

You...

You made the public angry.

Given that circumstances,
you would have to suffer.

But don't worry.

I won't let you suffer the grievances.

Wei Guang.

You have a good memory.

You surely remember.

When was it that Ye Ning Zhi
said Wang Xiao Li suffered a mishap?

On the 28th of last month.

It was a chaotic scene.

I vaguely heard the girl said,

that it happened in Bei Di Temple.

Did you hear it clearly
that it was Bei Di Temple?

Yes.

She said Bei Di Temple.

That’s really outrageous!

We were all fooled by that girl.

I passed by Bei Di Temple last month,

to offer incense
for His and Her Majesty.

The acolyte told me,

the pillars at the main hall
were damaged by termites.

For safety reasons,

the temple is closed for two months,
and no entry is allowed.

Mr. Lang,
please redress the injustice for me.

Wei Guang.

I'll trust you once more.

Tell me.

Why did Ye Ning Zhi want
to set Yang Biao up?

What was her motive?

I'm afraid this is only
their first move.

The first move?

How so?

Ye Ning Zhi is merely
a circus performer.

Why would she make accusation
against Mr. Yang?

Someone must be behind this
to put Mr. Yang under fire,

and to draw out the master behind him.

If so...

it's targeted at me?

The ultimate target...

is Her Majesty.

Go on.

I think you must have
someone in mind.

The ones who want
to go up against Her Majesty,

are Prince Bei Ying
and Prince Nan Ping.

It's the high levels and low levels
officers in their faction.

Do you have any countermeasures?

The final resort...

is to arrest Ye Ning Zhi
and everyone involved.

If Ye Ning Zhi doesn't confess,

kill one person every one hour
until she confesses.

This can really help us
find out the truth.

Of course.

It will provoke the public anger
in Han City.

What I want is the best plan.

Use other forces to attack
the opponent and lure them out.

What should we do specifically?

Send a rider back to the palace.

Report it to the empress.

Both of us will get out there
to gather information.

Let's see what
Prince Bei Ying is up to.

Wait patiently for them
to make the second move.

Then, we'll come up with a plan.

Keep in mind.

Don't act rashly.

How does it feel to be beaten?

I'm returning you the favour.

Both of you, move aside.

Move aside. Come here.

I've only been sick for a day.

Why did you stir up
such a big trouble?

Did you see it with your own eyes
that Mr. Yang raped Ms. Xiao Li?

Why didn't you tell me?

You always tell me everything.

Say something.

Mr. Wei.

Madam, I'm afraid this isn't the time
to blame your daughter.

Ms. Ning Zhi did it
out of good intentions.

She got into trouble because
she was compelled by circumstances.

What trouble?

Mr. Lang knew that you fooled him.

Mum.

About the things I said,
I didn't witness it.

But Yang Biao deserved it.

He didn't only raped Xiao Li.
He even caused her death.

Mr. Wei is well aware of it.

Silly girl.

How dare of you?

We're screwed.

If he pursues this,
we'll be beheaded.

Beheaded?

I did take part to kick him too.

-What should we do?
-Why don't we escape?

Where can we escape to?

Mr. Wei, did I really
put everyone's life at risk?

Now you're afraid?

Don't scare me.

Escape and hide in Ziwu Mountain.

This is the official document
to get to Beidian.

Run north when you have the chance.

You'll be safe
when you get to Beidian.

But Lang Kun is very influential.

He can mobilise the troops
to arrest us at any time.

Our troupe is filled
with elderly and women.

Where can we run to?

Just do as I say.

Even if there are only
20 to 30 people here,

you'll still stand a chance to defeat
Lang Kun's hundreds of soldiers.

Really?

Of course.

Bring forth the courage for survival
that you had in the palace.

How do we defeat them?

Go to the cave at the peak
of Ziwu Mountain and hide.

I'll send my men
to disguise as hunters,

to go up the mountain
and tell you the next move.

I will teach you how to win
this battle step by step.

Mr. Wei, why do I still feel uneasy?

Ms. Ning Zhi, it's not easy to be
a good person but you made it.

You made the mess.

You have a duty to protect
everyone's life.

This is your responsibility.
I've told you before.

Besides, your action shows
that you're a benevolent person.

It's just that it wasn't a well
articulated strategy.

The kind and righteous people...

are the ones that
shouldn't be let down.

I'll surely do my best
to help you through this.

Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei.

Will this hold you up...

from returning to your hometown
to get married?

You're in a deep trouble.

And you could still
be bothered with my wedding?

Let's talk next time.

Mr. Lang.

Someone saw Ning Zhi led over
20 people from the circus troupe,

and escaped to Ziwu Mountain.

I've sent 30 officers to arrest them.

I don't care how many people
you mobilised.

In short, tomorrow at this hour...

bring Ye Ning Zhi to see me.

The circus troupe conspired to rebel.

Her Majesty sent me to Han City
to investigate on them.

If you can't catch them,

get ready to see Her Majesty.

Yes.

Mr. Lang.

Mr. Zhang is just a low level officer.

He merely has over dozens of soldiers.

If you want him to have
Ziwu Mountain surrounded,

you're just making things
difficult for him.

Making things difficult?

All right.

If that's the case...

it means that you have a plan.

We need to make sure
the situation is in our favour.

We don't have enough soldiers.

We'll make use of the time
and the geographical position.

How so?

Right now, the wind is blowing
from the south.

Just set Ziwu Mountain on fire.

The fire will get bigger in no time.

In order to avoid the smoke and fire,

Ye Ning Zhi and the others
will surely flee in panic.

All Mr. Zhang has to do is to set up
an ambush at the path to the north,

and wait for them
to walk into the trap.

That makes sense.

Did you hear that?

Quickly get to it.

Yes.

Sir.

Disguise as a hunter.

Take the shortcut to Ziwu Mountain.

Hand this bamboo tube
to the girl.

Yes.

-What should we do?
-Stop turning around.

-It's making me dizzy.
-What should we do?

This is bad.

-How is it?
-They set fire in the south.

The wind speeds the burn's advance.

The mountain is surrounded
by flames and smoke.

What should we do?

-Hurry! Pack your things.
-Hurry!

Forget it. Leave the things.

-Let's go. Hurry.
-Everyone, don't move.

Leader.

We need to calm down
and think it through.

It takes about two to four hours
for the wind to get here.

That's right.

If they set up an ambush
on the mountain with archers,

we'll be killed once we charge out.

-Leader, Mr. Wei sent a letter.
-Give it to me.

Madam.

I guess everyone must
be panicking right now.

The wind is blowing from the south.

The fire seems to be coming your way.

But please trust me.

The terrain of Ziwu Mountain
is complicated.

In no time...

the wind will change its direction
and blow from the north.

Don't go down the mountain.

The fire will burn those
who set the fire.

By then, Lang Kun will send more
people up the mountain to catch you.

All you have to do
is to act according to the plan.

You'll surely be able
to shake off the danger.

But Mr. Wei kept saying
that a few dozens of civilians,

will be able to defeat
hundreds of soldiers.

But how?

If Mr. Wei said we can,
we surely can.

If we don't take his word for it,

-who else can we trust?
-That's right.

That's so ridiculous!

They went to set fire
but the opponents are unharmed.

Our people got burned instead.

Do you know your mistake?

Mr. Lang, it's not that
he's unskilled in war.

Mr. Zhang is not a deity.

It's hard for him
to predict the future.

We predicted the wind to blow from
the south but it changed to the north.

Sir, please be understanding
of Mr. Zhang.

I don't want to see you anymore.
Get out!

Greetings, Mr. Lang.

Commander Wang.

It's been three years.

I've been planning to pay you
a visit but never got the chance to.

I didn't expect to run into you here.

May I know where are you heading to?

Sir.

There's a flood in Yang City.

I was ordered to send
food supplies for disaster relief.

What a coincidence.

Her Majesty sent me to Han City
to take down a group of criminals.

They're hiding in Ziwu Mountain.

Brother Wang.

Can you do Her Majesty a favour?

Lend me your troops.

I'm afraid I can't help you
with that.

Secretly mobilizing troops
is a violation of military orders.

Disaster relief?

Do you think I don't know
what's on your mind?

Do you dare to say that you are going
to Yang City for disaster relief?

Practice usury.
Confiscate the supplies.

You sell the grains to the merchants
at a high price.

You make a fortune for yourself
by taking advantage of the situation.

I suppose things are going your way.

Mr. Lang.

I won't let them work for nothing.

Tell your subordinates.

Whoever can get me
Ye Ning Zhi's head, the main culprit,

I'll reward him
with 500 taels of gold.

Thank you, sir.

Mr. Wei sent someone
to deliver the letter again.

Ah Jiao is back.

Mr. Wei sent someone
to deliver the letter again.

Tomorrow, before sunset,

a hundred soldiers will go up
the mountain to search for you.

This group of soldiers is known
for their notorious deeds.

On top of that, Lang Kun offered
a reward of 500 taels of gold.

They'll surely hunt you down
like a group of mad dogs.

Be careful, everyone.

But keep this in mind.

Greed and fear...

-will defeat them.
-Greed and fear?

-What does that mean?
-That's right.

First step.

Everyone must move to the cave
below Bei Ling Monkey Stone.

The passage in this cave
is relatively narrow.

The widest area can only fit
three to four people.

Second step.

I'll send people
to deliver you some gifts.

The way of using the gifts
will be made known at that time.

Lastly...

when the first two steps are ready,

you can pull some tricks,

and lure the enemy
into taking the bait.

-Thank you, sir.
-Thank you, sir.

Brothers.

The 500 taels of gold will belong
to the one who kills Ye Ning Zhi.

Kill Ye Ning Zhi!

Mr. Wei sent another letter.

Another letter? What does it say?

Wait a minute.

Mr. Wei said only the young lady
can read this letter.

Ms. Ning Zhi.

I could tell that you're someone
with a strong sense of camaraderie.

You'll surely blame yourself
for the trouble that you caused.

I suppose you would have lost
the courage and intelligence you had.

In my opinion,

instead of blaming yourself...

fight for your life and the lives
of your family and friends.

That's the right thing to do.

Fight for survival.

There's hope so long as
you stay alive.

I promise you.

I'll stay alive.

Brothers, 500 taels of gold!

Brace yourselves!

-Charge forward!
-Charge forward!

Charge forward!

Hurry up!

What happened?

Commander, it's filled with raptors.

Move aside.

Release!

Don't panic.

-Let's go.
-Let's go.

A bunch of losers.

It's been so long.

No one has brought me
her head.

Yang Biao.

Go up the mountain at once.

Check out their situation.

Mr. Lang.

Where's Ye Ning Zhi's head?

A hundred elite soldiers...

couldn't even defeat a bunch
of unarmed circus performers.

Sir.

We went into the cave.

But little did we expect,

there were so many raptors
on Ziwu Mountain.

Commander Wang, did you mistaken it?

I've never heard of the raptors
on the mountain.

Right.

Where's your army?

They're either dead or wounded.

Only a few dozens people
came back with me.

Come.

-Take Commander Wang back to rest.
-Yes.

Wei Guang, what should we do now?

Secretly mobilizing troops,

caused over a hundred
of defeated soldiers to flee.

It even caused Commander Wang
to suffer serious injury.

Even if Her Majesty
has a high authority...

she can't intervene
in the military affair.

Sir, you need come up with a plan.

I don't want you to tell me
all this nonsense.

What I want to hear now
is how to get myself out of this.

It's a serious matter.

I'm afraid I'll have to
think it through,

to help you out of this predicament.

Sir, I shall take my leave.

Keep up. Be careful.

I can't go on.

I can't run anymore.

-Keep running. Hang in there.
-Can you go on?

Forget it.

Just rest here for a while.

It's really tiring.

The sound of horse hooves.

Are they catching up to us from here?

It's Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei.

Madam, their target is Ning Zhi.

I'll distract them with Ning Zhi.

Head to the north.

Find a place to hide.

I'll come to you later.

Ning Zhi, follow Mr. Wei.
Don't worry about us.

Mum.

I'm leaving.

Take care.

All of you must live well.

We'll see each other again.

Daughter, you must take
good care of yourself.

Uncle Gui.

Young lady.

Take care.

Take your things.

Go on.

Madam, good bye.

Mr. Wei, you must take
good care of my daughter.

Young lady, take care.

It’s hard to travel
in the mountains at night.

There won't be any soldiers
for the time being.

We'll set out tomorrow morning.

Head north to that mountain
and we'll be safe.

With you around,
I'm not afraid to go anywhere.

There are so many fireflies!

I didn't expect there'll be time
where you'll get stuck.

It's not easy to catch the fireflies.

I practised for a long time
when I was a kid.

Watch me.

The fireflies emerge from
the decaying greens and live to die.

If it could brighten up
the path ahead of you...

even if it burns me...

it's still a kind of joy.

Mr. Wei.

This is for you.

Mr. Wei, let me show you
another stunt.

Let's go.

Let the wind pass through the body.

It feels like you're in the sky.

Look, the shooting star.

Did you take a good look
at the shooting star?

You've made your wish already?

It'll surely come true.

-Have some water.
-Thank you.

Mr. Wei.

Is it possible that...

you have had an acrimonious
fall-out with Mr. Lang?

You've done so much for me.

How can I sit by
and disregard your situation?

You've offended Mr. Lang.

How are you going back to get married
in your hometown?

Why do you keep harping on
about the wedding?

Didn't you say that you're going back
to your hometown to get married?

Besides, you are getting married.

You got held up because of me.

Also, you might not
be able to go back.

You got into
such a dangerous situation.

It started from me.

How would I not know your feelings?

What are you trying to say?

Let's go.

After them!
