[Episode 2]

00:01:38,540 --> 00:01:39,760
Master,

4
00:01:40,050 --> 00:01:41,350
you knew it, didn't you?

5
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:44,090
Then why did you promise him?

6
00:01:49,470 --> 00:01:53,890
[Do you know why I became
your sworn brother, Yuan Jia?]

7
00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:55,080
[I do.]

8
00:01:55,870 --> 00:01:57,450
[Are you sure?]

9
00:01:58,140 --> 00:02:00,520
[You wish to get
Lord Tan out of the prison,]

10
00:02:00,660 --> 00:02:03,320
[yet I may not be as reliable,
that's why you gave me this honour.]

11
00:02:06,510 --> 00:02:07,650
[Nonsense.]

12
00:02:07,860 --> 00:02:09,740
[I, Big Sword Wang Wu,
am an honest man.]

13
00:02:09,820 --> 00:02:12,040
[I'd never make you a brother
just to gain your aid.]

14
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,110
[Is it not your intention
to save Lord Tan?]

15
00:02:14,420 --> 00:02:15,440
[I...]

16
00:02:18,450 --> 00:02:21,790
[I wish you could do me a
favour by saving Lord Tan.]

17
00:02:22,390 --> 00:02:23,740
[What do you mean?]

18
00:02:23,820 --> 00:02:25,560
[I'm getting more confused.]

19
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:26,960
Master,

20
00:02:27,180 --> 00:02:28,840
I'm confused too.

21
00:02:29,580 --> 00:02:31,840
What did Big Sword Wang Wu mean?

22
00:02:32,870 --> 00:02:34,190
He didn't want to implicate you.

23
00:02:34,270 --> 00:02:35,660
[Your disciple, Liu Zhen Sheng,]

24
00:02:35,740 --> 00:02:38,560
[is a servant bought by Huo family.]

25
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,980
[If something happens to him,]

26
00:02:40,190 --> 00:02:43,580
[you and Huo family
will get involved as well.]

27
00:02:43,660 --> 00:02:46,080
[But I have a perfect plan.]

28
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,280
[Please do enlighten me.]

29
00:02:48,580 --> 00:02:50,000
[When we get into the prison,]

30
00:02:50,260 --> 00:02:51,570
[take Lord Tan away with you.]

31
00:02:51,810 --> 00:02:53,230
[What about you?]

32
00:02:53,940 --> 00:02:55,400
[You got involved in this...]

33
00:02:55,700 --> 00:02:56,600
[because of me.]

34
00:02:57,460 --> 00:02:58,340
[Do as I say.]

35
00:02:58,420 --> 00:03:00,360
Wang Wu wanted to die
on Tan Si Tong's behalf?

36
00:03:00,460 --> 00:03:01,360
Yes.

37
00:03:02,180 --> 00:03:05,000
He hoped that I'd rescue Lord Tan,

38
00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:08,600
and he'd make it look
like Lord Tan tried to escape.

39
00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:11,660
He wanted you to destroy his
face and body with your knife...

40
00:03:11,740 --> 00:03:13,500
so the coroner couldn't
recognise him.

41
00:03:13,580 --> 00:03:17,560
You could stay out of trouble and
win an honour at the same time.

42
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:18,560
What?

43
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,680
Master, Big Sword Wang Wu is a hero.

44
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,740
If the martial world learned that I...

45
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,340
How would I live for the rest of my life?

46
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,440
I knew you'd say this,
that's why I rejected his proposal.

47
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,480
[If you won't do it,]

48
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,230
[don't call me your big brother
ever again!]

49
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,920
[You wish to exchange your life with
Lord Tan's so as to not cause me trouble.]

50
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,740
[I admire and respect your
courage and righteousness.]

51
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,500
[But I don't agree to this.]

52
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,060
[First, the imperial government
would not be easily deceived.]

53
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,020
[If we were found out,
all efforts would be wasted,]

54
00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:56,880
[and you'd die for nothing.]

55
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,980
[Second, even if we
were so lucky as to make it,]

56
00:04:00,180 --> 00:04:02,840
[Tan Si Tong's death
would be known by all.]

57
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,620
[Then what could Lord Tan
do as a living man?]

58
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,460
[Third,]

59
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,900
[both of us are martial arts
practitioners.]

60
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,060
[We should be guileless in our actions.]

61
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,460
[If we have to break into the prison,
so be it.]

62
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,220
[There's no need to put up a show.]

63
00:04:18,980 --> 00:04:20,160
[Yuan Jia,]

64
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,860
[have you ever thought that if...]

65
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:32,300
[You'll have to stay hidden
for the rest of your life,]

66
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,900
[forever wandering as a fugitive.]

67
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,060
[Why don't you become a fugitive with me?]

68
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,080
[To roam the martial world you,]

69
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,700
[how delightful that'd be.]

70
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,340
-Master.
-Zhen Sheng.

71
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,400
Will you take off the uniform...

72
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,060
and live the life of a vagabond with me?

73
00:04:59,570 --> 00:05:00,470
Master,

74
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,220
I owe Huo family my life.

75
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:09,050
I'll follow you wherever you go, be it
mountains of swords or seas of flames.

76
00:05:11,940 --> 00:05:13,120
Good brother.

77
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,980
I'm sorry to drag you into this.

78
00:05:16,540 --> 00:05:22,060

79
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,260

83
00:06:34,370 --> 00:06:35,710
Don't worry, Lord Tan.

84
00:06:35,810 --> 00:06:37,190
They can be trusted.

85
00:06:37,290 --> 00:06:38,590
Follow us now.

86
00:06:38,730 --> 00:06:41,630
My worst fears have transpired.

87
00:06:41,930 --> 00:06:43,030
What did you say?

88
00:06:44,990 --> 00:06:47,450
How dare you, Wang Wu. Get on your knees!

89
00:06:48,250 --> 00:06:52,370
How are you break into such a place?
What do you want?

90
00:06:52,450 --> 00:06:53,810
Lord Tan, I...

91
00:06:53,890 --> 00:06:54,950
I...

92
00:06:55,090 --> 00:06:57,710
Lord Tan, Brother Wang Wu's
here to rescue you.

93
00:06:57,790 --> 00:06:58,810
Shut up!

94
00:06:59,090 --> 00:07:00,670
I'm lecturing him,

95
00:07:00,850 --> 00:07:03,270
who are you to interrupt?

96
00:07:06,250 --> 00:07:07,180
Wang Wu,

97
00:07:08,250 --> 00:07:12,030
on the night of the incident,
I ordered you to leave the capital.

98
00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:13,890
Why did you stay?

99
00:07:14,170 --> 00:07:15,790
You're locked up in the prison,

100
00:07:16,050 --> 00:07:18,390
how could I leave by myself?

101
00:07:19,130 --> 00:07:21,310
You're a fighter.

102
00:07:21,650 --> 00:07:23,590
You always resort to
violence when things happen.

103
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:28,120
The government has shown its
mercy for letting you off all these years.

104
00:07:28,410 --> 00:07:32,230
Yet, you wish to rescue a prisoner?

105
00:07:33,210 --> 00:07:34,190
Yes, I do.

106
00:07:35,330 --> 00:07:37,390
Lord Tan, you have no idea...

107
00:07:37,850 --> 00:07:39,570
that there are notices everywhere.

108
00:07:39,650 --> 00:07:41,230
The imperial government is against you.

109
00:07:41,410 --> 00:07:42,850
You'll be beheaded tomorrow.

110
00:07:42,930 --> 00:07:45,910
You'd be dead if I don't rescue you.

111
00:07:48,730 --> 00:07:52,150
Tomorrow is the deadline.

112
00:07:52,570 --> 00:07:54,510
Of course I'm aware of that.

113
00:07:55,450 --> 00:07:57,830
Lord Tan, you knew?

114
00:07:58,210 --> 00:07:59,830
The 13th of August.

115
00:08:01,730 --> 00:08:03,710
What an auspicious day.

116
00:08:05,450 --> 00:08:08,940
Just remember to drink to me...

117
00:08:09,020 --> 00:08:11,330
on every Mid-Autumn.

118
00:08:11,410 --> 00:08:14,470
There's no need for a memorial ceremony.

119
00:08:14,770 --> 00:08:17,230
Lord Tan, what are you talking about?

120
00:08:17,890 --> 00:08:19,870
As long as I live,

121
00:08:20,170 --> 00:08:23,070
I won't allow the imperial government
kill an innocent man.

122
00:08:23,490 --> 00:08:25,010
You stayed behind the other day...

123
00:08:25,090 --> 00:08:28,470
because you still had faith in the
emperor and the imperial government.

124
00:08:28,690 --> 00:08:31,610
But His Majesty has been
imprisoned by Ci Xi.

125
00:08:31,690 --> 00:08:34,290
There's not a righteous man
left in the imperial government.

126
00:08:34,370 --> 00:08:35,610
Cut the nonsense.

127
00:08:35,690 --> 00:08:37,810
Lord Tan, I know that you're loyal.

128
00:08:37,890 --> 00:08:39,750
I can't reason with you.

129
00:08:40,850 --> 00:08:43,750
But an uneducated fighter
like me isn't afraid of the law,

130
00:08:43,890 --> 00:08:45,770
nor being accused of rebellion.

131
00:08:45,850 --> 00:08:47,810
My sworn brother
risked his life to help me,

132
00:08:47,890 --> 00:08:49,970
all for the sake of rescuing you.

133
00:08:50,050 --> 00:08:53,250
I've entered this death row
and I can never go back.

134
00:08:53,330 --> 00:08:55,670
It's not up to you whether to stay or go.

135
00:08:56,010 --> 00:08:57,490
Brother, let's do it.

136
00:08:57,570 --> 00:08:59,950
Knock Lord Tan out
and carry him out of here.

137
00:09:00,410 --> 00:09:01,830
Very well.

138
00:09:05,050 --> 00:09:07,810
Wang Wu, what a loyal person you are.

139
00:09:07,890 --> 00:09:09,250
I'll do as you say this time.

140
00:09:09,330 --> 00:09:11,430
Lord Tan, you finally came around?

141
00:09:14,010 --> 00:09:15,190
However,

142
00:09:15,930 --> 00:09:18,290
you need to do something for me first.

143
00:09:18,650 --> 00:09:19,790
What is it?

144
00:09:20,130 --> 00:09:21,770
Go to my place.

145
00:09:21,850 --> 00:09:24,570
There's a hidden drawer
under my writing desk.

146
00:09:24,650 --> 00:09:27,650
It contains a secret edict
issued by the emperor...

147
00:09:27,730 --> 00:09:30,010
which concerns the society.

148
00:09:30,090 --> 00:09:33,020
Bring it to me, and I'll go with you.

149
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:34,080
But...

150
00:09:34,530 --> 00:09:37,170
But this is quite impossible.
We barely got in here.

151
00:09:37,250 --> 00:09:38,930
It's now or never.

152
00:09:39,010 --> 00:09:41,790
We may not be able to save you after this.

153
00:09:41,930 --> 00:09:44,530
Why don't you come with us now...

154
00:09:44,610 --> 00:09:46,610
and we can get the
secret edict at your house...

155
00:09:46,690 --> 00:09:49,050
before escaping from the city together.
What do you say?

156
00:09:49,130 --> 00:09:50,030
No.

157
00:09:51,050 --> 00:09:54,190
Me escaping death row is a big thing.

158
00:09:54,490 --> 00:09:56,950
The capital will become chaotic.

159
00:09:57,250 --> 00:09:59,730
The whole city will be crawling
with imperial guards.

160
00:09:59,810 --> 00:10:02,450
Retrieving the edict would be
nigh impossible.

161
00:10:02,530 --> 00:10:04,810
Lord Tan, we're running out of time.

162
00:10:04,890 --> 00:10:07,650
What's the point in keeping a
secret edict by the puppet emperor?

163
00:10:07,730 --> 00:10:08,870
How dare you!

164
00:10:09,430 --> 00:10:12,360
The emperor's secret edict is
more important than my own life.

165
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,290
I'm not going with you without it!

166
00:10:15,370 --> 00:10:18,150
-Yuan Jia, do it!
-No need to.

167
00:10:19,090 --> 00:10:21,270
I don't have a sword,

168
00:10:21,610 --> 00:10:23,750
but if you keep pushing me,

169
00:10:24,610 --> 00:10:27,790
I'll ram my head into the wall
until I die!

170

{\an8}[West Street]

171

00:11:12,090 --> 00:11:13,270
Yes, since I was young.

181
00:11:14,650 --> 00:11:17,190
How old are you?

182
00:11:17,770 --> 00:11:19,750
I've been living for 30 years.

183
00:11:23,230 --> 00:11:25,210
I'm about three years older than you.

184
00:11:26,010 --> 00:11:30,470
Wang Wu said you are his sworn brother.

185
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:35,940
Thanks to Brother Wang's trust in me,

186
00:11:36,020 --> 00:11:38,140
we became sworn brothers yesterday.

187
00:11:38,580 --> 00:11:42,800
The famous Big Sword Wang Wu chose you.

188
00:11:43,180 --> 00:11:45,200
You must be a hero yourself.

189
00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:50,170
That's what people in the
martial world say.

190
00:11:51,550 --> 00:11:54,650
My knowledge about
martial arts is limited,

191
00:11:55,110 --> 00:11:59,770
but I know that those who are being called
hero have a strong sense of justice,

192
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:02,530
and would go through fire and water.

193
00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:07,410
You coming to rescue me from the
death row with Brother Wang Wu...

194
00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:11,410
shows that you are an honourable hero.

195
00:12:27,190 --> 00:12:28,710
The Westerners call us...

196
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:32,090
"Sick Man of Asia",
what do you think about that?

197
00:12:34,430 --> 00:12:37,530
The Westerners are
detestable and arrogant.

198
00:12:38,150 --> 00:12:39,850
If they ever dare to challenge me,

199
00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:41,760
I'll beat them all.

200
00:12:42,860 --> 00:12:44,060
Good.

201
00:12:45,780 --> 00:12:49,840
In fact, there's a reason...

202
00:12:50,820 --> 00:12:52,960
why the Westerners are so arrogant.

203
00:12:53,900 --> 00:12:55,500
During the First Sino-Japanese War,

204
00:12:55,580 --> 00:12:58,020
after Beiyang Fleet had been defeated,

205
00:12:58,100 --> 00:13:02,660
our nation was humiliated as part of our
territory had to be ceded to the Japanese.

206
00:13:02,740 --> 00:13:05,220
For so many years,
I've spent sleepless nights...

207
00:13:05,300 --> 00:13:08,580
ruminating in what way
are we inferior to the Westerners...

208
00:13:08,660 --> 00:13:11,320
apart from our technology and governance.

209
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,480
I concluded it's the decline
of martial spirit.

210
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:23,400
The knights of the Westerners and warriors
of the Japanese have been preserved.

211
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,580
But after Tang Dynasty,

212
00:13:25,660 --> 00:13:28,740
the martial arts ban
throughout the subsequent dynasties...

213
00:13:28,820 --> 00:13:31,560
have contributed to the
downfall of us Chinese people.

214
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:32,920
Today,

215
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,780
among our people,

216
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,700
there aren't many...

217
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:43,340
that are as physically fit and
distinguished-looking as you, Brother Huo.

218
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,220
Moreover, many of our citizens
became a bag of listless skeleton...

219
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,260
because of opium.

220
00:13:53,410 --> 00:13:56,570
Therefore, in order to make
our people strong again,

221
00:13:56,650 --> 00:14:01,460
the reformation organized by
noble families aren't enough.

222
00:14:01,540 --> 00:14:05,920
We need men from all walks of life
to rise and strive together.

223
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:11,140
For example, Brother Huo
of the martial arts world.

224
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:15,860
In that case,

225
00:14:16,510 --> 00:14:18,330
as a mere fighter,

226
00:14:19,230 --> 00:14:22,250
I'm also able to do my
part in reviving the nation?

227
00:14:27,050 --> 00:14:28,270
Of course.

Thank you, Brother Wang Wu.

231

Lord Tan,

232

we've agreed that you
can't call me Brother...

as you're an important official
while I'm just an uneducated person.

234
00:15:06,750 --> 00:15:07,970
That doesn't matter.

235
00:15:08,150 --> 00:15:11,770
I had a nice chat with
Brother Huo just now.

236
00:15:11,910 --> 00:15:16,930
We've talked about the life of...

237

satisfaction and delight.

238
00:15:22,710 --> 00:15:24,050
That's great.

239

Come.

240
00:15:27,070 --> 00:15:28,730
We've also agreed...

241
00:15:28,870 --> 00:15:31,650
to address you as Big Brother from now on.

242
00:15:31,830 --> 00:15:32,730

He will rescue him!

260
00:17:00,030 --> 00:17:03,050
Someone must have leaked the news.

261
00:17:12,780 --> 00:17:17,880
I stayed at a stranger's house while
escaping and was reminded of Zhang Jian.

262
00:17:18,830 --> 00:17:22,490
Even before we die,
we should be like Du Gen.

263
00:17:22,820 --> 00:17:27,880
I took out my knife
and laughed at the sky.

00:17:28,420 --> 00:17:35,250
Dead or alive, we know we're as righteous
and honourable as Kunlun Mountain.

265
00:18:03,230 --> 00:18:06,090
[Brother Huo, frankly speaking,]

266
00:18:06,750 --> 00:18:09,050
[I was the first person to learn...]

267

[that our reformation has failed.]

[Why didn't you leave

[I ordered someone to inform
my teacher and Lord Liang,]

[while I stayed back on purpose.]

00:18:21,670 --> 00:18:23,010
[Why did you do that?]

[reformations around the

00:25:19,470 --> 00:25:20,850
will he be here?

359
00:25:21,870 --> 00:25:23,330
I think he will.

360
00:25:24,430 --> 00:25:27,890
You have to be certain.
Will he come or will he not?

361
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,180
He will be here.

362
00:25:47,310 --> 00:25:48,890
Huo Yuan Jia!

363
00:25:56,070 --> 00:25:58,650
We have to do it now,
or these people will make trouble.

Rifles!

365
00:27:01,670 --> 00:27:02,990
It's time!

366
00:27:03,070 --> 00:27:05,010
Execute as ordered by the decree!

367
00:27:08,110 --> 00:27:09,110
{\an8}[Order]

368
00:27:31,590 --> 00:27:33,980
[In order to make
our people strong again,]

[the reformation organized by
noble families aren't enough.]

372
00:29:35,430 --> 00:29:36,770
Lord Tan.

373
00:29:40,030 --> 00:29:41,290
Lord Tan.

374
00:29:42,030 --> 00:29:42,930
Brother Wang,

375
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,450
Lord Tan died a martyr.

376
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:48,290
I saw him off on your behalf.

377
00:29:57,940 --> 00:30:00,280
Brother Wang, I did you wrong.

378
00:30:00,580 --> 00:30:02,640
But this was Lord Tan's idea.

379
00:30:03,190 --> 00:30:06,030
He was worried you'd die in vain
for breaking into the execution ground.

380
00:30:06,110 --> 00:30:07,010
My foot!

381
00:30:07,710 --> 00:30:09,210
You imperial dog!

382
00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,930
You, along with those lackeys,
caused Lord Tan's death.

383
00:30:12,010 --> 00:30:13,220
I did not.

384
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:14,360
How dare you deny it.

385
00:30:14,950 --> 00:30:16,170
You knocked me out...

386
00:30:16,350 --> 00:30:17,930
and stopped me from saving Lord Tan.

387
00:30:18,270 --> 00:30:19,880
You're with the imperial government!

388
00:30:49,710 --> 00:30:51,530
-Master!
-Master!

389
00:30:51,870 --> 00:30:52,810
Master.

390
00:30:53,050 --> 00:30:54,670
Liu Zhen Sheng, stay there!

391
00:30:54,830 --> 00:30:56,490
Master! Stay out of this.

392
00:30:56,610 --> 00:30:57,550
He's crazy.

393
00:30:57,710 --> 00:31:00,570
He overlooked your kind intentions.

394
00:31:01,270 --> 00:31:02,890
Gao Qi, Da You, Xiao Wu!

395
00:31:03,230 --> 00:31:04,990
-Attack!
-Don't you dare!

396
00:31:05,070 --> 00:31:08,050
This is between me and my brother.
Get back.

397
00:31:16,030 --> 00:31:16,930
Brother Wang,

398
00:31:17,950 --> 00:31:21,550
Lord Tan wished to awaken the people
and inspire future generations...

399
00:31:21,630 --> 00:31:23,130
with the blood he had lost.

400
00:31:23,230 --> 00:31:26,010
Who are you to speak of
Lord Tan's intention!

401
00:31:27,860 --> 00:31:28,840
Huo Yuan Jia,

402
00:31:29,150 --> 00:31:30,930
you were here at the execution ground.

403
00:31:31,300 --> 00:31:33,280
Why didn't you save Lord Tan?

404
00:31:35,190 --> 00:31:38,870
Lord Tan and the other five were ordered
to be executed by the imperial government.

405
00:31:38,950 --> 00:31:41,650
Rescuing him at the execution
ground is a crime.

406
00:31:41,950 --> 00:31:43,250
I couldn't do it,

407
00:31:43,330 --> 00:31:44,950
neither could you.

408
00:31:45,310 --> 00:31:48,410
If you are afraid to die,
you shouldn't have promised me!

409
00:31:48,750 --> 00:31:50,750
Not saving him after you've promised me...

410
00:31:50,830 --> 00:31:52,170
makes you a traitor.

411
00:31:56,550 --> 00:31:58,530
-Master!
-Stay there!

412
00:32:01,470 --> 00:32:02,490
Huo Yuan Jia,

413
00:32:02,990 --> 00:32:04,730
why won't you fight back?

414
00:32:06,980 --> 00:32:08,200
Lord Tan is dead.

415
00:32:08,870 --> 00:32:10,510
You feel sad and angry.

416
00:32:10,590 --> 00:32:12,140
If hitting me makes you less angry,

417
00:32:12,220 --> 00:32:15,270
you may hit me as much as you like.
I won't fight back.

418
00:32:15,350 --> 00:32:17,350
But, Brother Wang, he's gone for good.

419
00:32:17,430 --> 00:32:18,950
Please listen to me...

420
00:32:20,670 --> 00:32:21,710
You deceived me,

421
00:32:21,790 --> 00:32:24,050
and I've missed the
opportunity to save Lord Tan.

422
00:32:24,340 --> 00:32:25,760
How dare you lecture me?

423
00:32:26,070 --> 00:32:27,330
Die!

424

-Master.
-Master.

00:32:37,430 --> 00:32:38,530

{\an8}[Wang Wu]

427
00:33:18,420 --> 00:33:21,560
Where is Lord Tan's body?

428
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:28,230
Three men, Liu, Hu and Luo
from Liuyang Association,

429
00:33:28,310 --> 00:33:29,930
they've collected Lord Tan's body.

430
00:33:34,750 --> 00:33:37,890
That was Liu Feng Chi,
an old footman and Luo Sheng,

431
00:33:38,070 --> 00:33:39,070
Hu Li Chen.

432
00:33:39,150 --> 00:33:42,530
They were very close
to the late Lord Tan...

433
00:33:42,750 --> 00:33:44,890
and are men of honour and loyalty.

434
00:33:45,110 --> 00:33:48,870
Listen, all three of them...

435
00:33:48,950 --> 00:33:51,710
wished to be my sworn brother,

436
00:33:51,790 --> 00:33:53,130
but I rejected them.

437
00:33:54,110 --> 00:33:56,210
How could I be so blind?

438
00:33:57,190 --> 00:34:00,010
I let the three dignified heroes down...

439
00:34:00,430 --> 00:34:03,330
just to be a sworn
brother to a traitor like you.

440
00:34:07,750 --> 00:34:10,570
-Big Brother!
-Don't you call me Big Brother!

441
00:34:12,550 --> 00:34:14,250
We became sworn brothers yesterday,

442
00:34:14,590 --> 00:34:15,770
but today,

443
00:34:16,310 --> 00:34:18,890
I, Big Sword Wang Wu, am
breaking off our relationship.

444
00:34:19,270 --> 00:34:20,410
From today onwards,

445
00:34:20,630 --> 00:34:24,450
we will go our separate ways.

446
00:34:25,150 --> 00:34:26,850
I, Big Sword Wang Wu,

447
00:34:28,110 --> 00:34:31,130
have nothing to do with you anymore.

448
00:35:01,940 --> 00:35:04,770
"We've parted for some time,"

449
00:35:04,990 --> 00:35:07,210
"but now I've received
this shocking news."

450
00:35:07,290 --> 00:35:11,070
"How could you not bring
your 20-year-old friend..."

451
00:35:12,580 --> 00:35:15,040
"to the netherworld with you?"

452
00:35:15,430 --> 00:35:17,550
"I have to travel and fight alone."

453
00:35:17,630 --> 00:35:21,450
"Even the flute music is grieving."

454
00:35:28,830 --> 00:35:33,230
"It was only recently that you
approached the supreme ruler,"

455
00:35:33,310 --> 00:35:35,650
"yet you were framed
by the evil and died,"

456
00:35:36,150 --> 00:35:39,970
"leaving 400 million people behind
to live as slaves..."

457
00:35:40,070 --> 00:35:41,790
"in this living hell."

458
00:35:41,870 --> 00:35:45,150
"And the three scholars of Fusang..."

459
00:35:45,230 --> 00:35:48,730
"felt so empty."

460
00:35:50,430 --> 00:35:53,310
Uncle Yuan Jia, did I read it right?
All 72 characters.

461
00:35:53,390 --> 00:35:55,690
You're right, 72 characters.

462
00:35:56,790 --> 00:35:59,330
After Lord Tan Si Tong died,

463
00:35:59,470 --> 00:36:02,890
his close friend, Mr. Tang Cai Chang
wrote a couplet to mourn his death.

464
00:36:03,910 --> 00:36:05,410
All the 72 characters...

465
00:36:05,910 --> 00:36:07,970
carry strong grievance and hatred.

466
00:36:12,670 --> 00:36:14,830
I told you to teach him to write,

467
00:36:14,910 --> 00:36:17,160
but what nonsense are you teaching him?

468
00:36:18,030 --> 00:36:19,410
Father. Father.

469
00:36:20,070 --> 00:36:21,550
Why are you coughing again?

470
00:36:21,630 --> 00:36:24,930
Is the medicine prescribed
by the physician not working?

471
00:36:25,550 --> 00:36:27,370
I'm coughing because of you.

472
00:36:27,470 --> 00:36:30,930
You've been writing this couplet
for countless times these two years.

473
00:36:32,310 --> 00:36:34,470
Why do you have to
keep writing this couplet...

474
00:36:34,550 --> 00:36:36,570
instead of the many beautiful poetry?

475
00:36:37,150 --> 00:36:41,470
Father, I'm just cherishing Lord Tan in
my mind while showing my respect to him.

476
00:36:41,550 --> 00:36:44,070
Tan Si Tong died at a young age.

477
00:36:44,150 --> 00:36:45,550
Tan family has no more descendants.

478
00:36:45,630 --> 00:36:48,090
He's an unfilial son of Tan family.

479
00:36:48,190 --> 00:36:51,610
What's the point of
cherishing or respecting him?

480
00:36:53,790 --> 00:36:56,090
A wise man foresees and mitigates risks.

481
00:36:57,070 --> 00:36:59,870
My son, befriending this kind of people...

482
00:36:59,950 --> 00:37:02,890
will bring trouble to our family,
do you know that?

483
00:37:03,030 --> 00:37:04,010
I do.

When the Old Buddha wanted to
execute The Six Martyrs of Wuxu.

485
00:37:07,470 --> 00:37:10,390
Uncle Yuan Jia offended the officials by
making a scene at the execution.

486

If Grandfather hadn't sold all our
land and bribed them,

497

and entered our land.

498

When they passed by our house,

499
00:38:00,990 --> 00:38:02,570
they shot and killed people.

500
00:38:02,650 --> 00:38:04,150
Yet, you kept holding me back.

Why do you still want me to endure?

504
00:38:10,310 --> 00:38:11,810
The war with the Westerners...

505
00:38:11,950 --> 00:38:13,610
is the imperial government's problem.

506
00:38:14,110 --> 00:38:15,810
You want to get shot?

507
00:38:16,070 --> 00:38:17,410
Don't you learn from Tan Si Tong.

having no posterity is the worst.

00:39:29,580 --> 00:39:31,190
-This way please.
-Okay.

537
00:39:32,100 --> 00:39:33,090
{\an8}[Wedding]

538
00:39:59,020 --> 00:39:59,820
{\an8}[Wedding]

539
00:41:56,420 --> 00:41:59,020
The best part about three-section staff
is its range.

540
00:41:59,100 --> 00:42:00,590
It an offensive and defensive weapon.

541
00:42:01,460 --> 00:42:03,100
This space is narrow.

542
00:42:03,180 --> 00:42:05,540
If you want to seize victory
with a surprise attack,

543
00:42:05,620 --> 00:42:07,160
you have chosen the correct weapon.

544
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:08,740
However,

545
00:42:09,110 --> 00:42:10,690
I am getting married today!

546
00:42:10,810 --> 00:42:12,250
It's my big day.

547
00:42:12,330 --> 00:42:13,940
You have broken the water vessel.

548
00:42:14,020 --> 00:42:15,410
What should be your punishment?

549
00:42:15,490 --> 00:42:17,650
If you wet the groom's shoes...

550
00:42:17,730 --> 00:42:19,510
you will receive a greater punishment!

551
00:42:20,250 --> 00:42:21,830
Master, I have made a mistake.

552
00:42:21,980 --> 00:42:23,340
I shall get a new water vessel...

553
00:42:23,420 --> 00:42:25,010
as your wedding gift.

554
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,140
Just a new water vessel?

555
00:42:27,220 --> 00:42:29,050
That's too easy for you,
Young Master Huang.

556
00:42:29,300 --> 00:42:31,400
Master, what else do you want?

557
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:34,280
Rise.

558
00:42:35,850 --> 00:42:36,820
How long since you left?

559
00:42:36,900 --> 00:42:37,840
Six years.

560
00:42:38,180 --> 00:42:39,840
You've grown so tall in just six years!

561
00:42:40,140 --> 00:42:41,170
I was surprised, too.

562
00:42:41,250 --> 00:42:43,340
Mother thinks it was
your martial training...

563
00:42:43,420 --> 00:42:45,580
that has stretched my bones
and made me taller.

564
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,220
Does that mean every time I go out...

565
00:42:49,300 --> 00:42:52,390
I'll have a giant like you
following behind me?

566
00:42:52,750 --> 00:42:54,740
I will look shorter in comparison.

567
00:42:54,820 --> 00:42:55,760
What should I do?

568
00:42:57,030 --> 00:42:57,960
I know!

569
00:42:58,260 --> 00:43:00,400
When we go out together,
I shall walk like this.
