[good, auspicious years

16
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:50,200
Lord Tan, I have prepared two
of our fastest horses.

17
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,760
We should head out.

18
00:02:51,850 --> 00:02:54,600
This memorial is very important.

19
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,760
I must finish it tonight.

20
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,079
Lord Tan, things have gone sour
with the Empress Dowager.

21
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,620
Even the emperor has been grounded.

22
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,760
Nobody is going to read
what you're writing now.

23
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,880
Even if the emperor can't read
this memorial,

24
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,240
I'm still going to write it.

25
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:11,650
At present, political reform
is imperative.

26
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,020
I will uphold my duty to the country.

27
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,200
Lord Tan.

28
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,280
What else can I say to persuade you?

29
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,560
Lord Kang, Lord Liang.

30
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:20,760
They're already gone!

31
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,820
It will be too late to leave
if you don't go now!

32
00:03:29,510 --> 00:03:33,310
The emperor appointed me
as the Fourth Grade Physician.

33
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,720
Without a royal decree,

34
00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:38,350
how could I dare run
and abandon my post?

35
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,760
I know how you are, Lord Tan.

36
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,440
But what the people say is right.

37
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,720
Live to fight another day.

38
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,640
When I passed by Dashilar just now,

39
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,280
I saw the palace guards
heading to your residence.

40
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,400
It will be terrible
if you end up in their hands.

41
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,920
As a courtier,

42
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,880
how can I be so easily intimated?

43
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,220
Lord Tan.

44
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:01,640
Are you going to leave or not?

45
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:05,840
No.

46
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,760
Then forgive me for what I'm about to do.

47
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,160
My lord!

48
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:15,960
Brother Wang Wu.

49
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:18,959
I know you're doing this for my sake.

50
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,360
But I, Tan Si Tong,
will never leave the capital...

51
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,680
or the emperor!

52
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,200
If you won't stop pushing me,

53
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:34,280
I will splatter my warm blood onto you!

54
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,080
My lord.

[Wang Wu]

57
00:05:29,390 --> 00:05:31,090
Meet your doom, Big Sword Wang Wu!

58
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,150
The sword's reputation precedes it.

59
00:05:52,090 --> 00:05:54,610
It's too bad the person who wields it
is unworthy.

60
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:56,840
Who are you?

61
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,800
Huo Yuan Jia of Jinmen.

62
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,360
We thought Wang Wu
was a formidable person.

63
00:06:03,450 --> 00:06:05,620
Seeing you in the flesh,
you're just a coward!

64
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:07,400
Boy.

65
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:09,760
-You dare insult me?
-None other than you!

66
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:12,240
Three months ago, you accepted
my master's challenge.

67
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,280
We're supposed to duel
at Desheng Gate.

68
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,400
But you?

69
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,600
You made my master waste the whole day
in wait.

70
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,880
Many fellows of the martial world
were there.

71
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,280
And they left in disappointment.

72
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:22,520
Shame on you!

73
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,440
That... That's right.

74
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,470
What are you glaring at?

75
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:30,160
My master is Tianjin's best fighter.

76
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,280
You should be honoured
we sent you the challenge.

77
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,480
If we had known that Wang Wu
was such a fake,

78
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,710
my master wouldn't have come
all the way from Tianjin.

79
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,280
Old man, I'll draw you a line.

80
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,680
Get on your knees and bow three times.

81
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,120
Next time you meet my master,
you'll call him "Lord Huo."

82
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,800
I'm sure my master will spare you.

83
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,080
Otherwise, you'll pay for it tonight.

84
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:49,200
Boy.

85
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,360
You've barely grown out your hair,

86
00:06:51,550 --> 00:06:52,870
and you call yourself "lord"?

87
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,000
Hey!

88
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,210
Stand down.

89
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,000
I should've mentored them better.

90
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,000
I hope you'd be understanding,
Senior Wang.

91
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,240
That sounds more like it.

92
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,280
Stop!

93
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,720
Martial arts practitioners
have to keep to their word.

94
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,320
You accepted my challenge.

95
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,040
I hurried here from Tianjin
just for the duel.

96
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,720
But you stood me up...

97
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,240
and didn't even give an explanation.

98
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,160
You're not showing me any courtesy.

99
00:07:24,220 --> 00:07:26,540
Why should I show you any courtesy?

100
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,240
You practise martial arts
just to gain fame and status.

101
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,000
You're not worthy as an opponent.

102
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,920
Gain fame and status?

103
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,960
This our first time meeting.

104
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,080
What made you say that?

105
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,600
I've long heard of the name, Huo Yuan Jia.

106
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,720
You're Huo En Di's second son.

107
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,560
You've taken in many pupils
in Tianjin.

108
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,840
Now, you came all the way to Beijing
just to beat me.

109
00:07:51,159 --> 00:07:53,600
To prove that the Huo Fist
is the best in the world...

110
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,520
and then take in more pupils,

111
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,960
earning more money from fees.

112
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,080
Nonsense!

113
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,520
The secret techniques
of the Huo family...

114
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,520
are taught only
to descendants, not pupils.

115
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,200
They're inherited internally.

116
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,240
I was born weak and frail.

117
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,990
But I am fit and healthy now...

118
00:08:10,070 --> 00:08:12,150
as a result of practising kung fu.

119
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,600
I disobeyed my father
and accepted pupils...

120
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,120
because I wanted them to be like me,

121
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,080
benefiting from practising martial arts,
not be taken advantage of.

122
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,160
You can ask them.

123
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:24,620
Have I accepted any money from them?

124
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,760
-No!
-No!

125
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:26,960
None!

126
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,480
Enough lies. You can't even talk straight.

127
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,549
I...

128
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,159
Whether you did or not,

129
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,520
it doesn't concern me.

130
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:39,720
-Stop!
-Stop right there!

131
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:41,179
-Stop!
-Master.

132
00:08:41,260 --> 00:08:42,590
This old man is preposterous!

133
00:08:42,669 --> 00:08:44,070
He needs to be put in his place!

134
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,320
Big Sword Wang Wu.

135
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:47,290
Since you accepted the challenge,

136
00:08:47,370 --> 00:08:48,960
you must fight.

137
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:49,990
Da You.

138
00:09:23,590 --> 00:09:25,350
You had the upper hand.

139
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:27,440
Why didn't you make use of it?

140
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,840
A martial arts duel has to be fair.

141
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,560
You are the senior.

142
00:09:31,730 --> 00:09:34,090
The upper hand should go to you.

143
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:36,920
Glad you know the rules.

144
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,340
Brace yourself!

145
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,600
The spear is like a dragon,
the staff like rain.

146
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,680
I've experienced your staff mastery.

147
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,960
Now, show me your skill with the spear!

148
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,640
Master, show him who's boss!

149
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:41,520
-Yes!
-Yes!

150
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:45,280
Okay.

151
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,940
You have beaten me,
Huo Yuan Jia of Tianjin.

152
00:11:49,020 --> 00:11:52,580
From now on, you have something else
to brag about.

153
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,560
-Now, scram.
-No.

154
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,480
Today's match does not count.

155
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:02,640
But you won.

156
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,720
Your pupils are witness.

157
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,280
Something is on your mind today.

158
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,400
You weren't focused.

159
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:11,340
Otherwise, you wouldn't have made
the mistake.

160
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:13,520
Alright.

161
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,920
You're not just a good fighter,

162
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,280
you've picked up the nuances
of martial arts too.

163
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,000
May I ask...

164
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,480
what exactly happened today...

165
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:27,040
that made you miss the appointment.

166
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,000
I'm tired. I'm going home to rest.

167
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,280
As for what had happened today,

168
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,860
you'll know when you see
the announcement tomorrow.

169
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:43,640
-Master won!
-Master beat Big Sword Wang Wu!

170
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,080
-You're the best in the world!
-Silence! On your knees!

171
00:12:49,380 --> 00:12:50,180
Master.

172
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,520
What did we do to be punished?

173
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:53,520
Need you ask?

174
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,560
Big Sword Wang Wu is a respected senior.

175
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,800
How could you guys ridicule
and criticise him?

176
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,800
He didn't seem that skilled to me.

177
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,800
He could barely keep up with you.

178
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:06,900
Nonsense!

179
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,160
He pretended to be weak on purpose.

180
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,680
He didn't want to fight me.

181
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,880
Why didn't I notice it though, Master?

182
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,960
Gao Qi, take your juniors back to rest.

183
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,600
No loitering around the capital.

184
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:20,480
Understood.

185
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,240
What about you, Master?

186
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,280
Who is sneaking about?

187
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,600
Trying to hurt me?

188
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,960
You are official guards.

189
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,240
There must be a mistake.

190
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,320
No mistake.

191
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:12,200
It's you the palace guards are after.

192
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:20,640
Ying Si!

193
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,160
You remember me.

194
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,920
I beat you.

195
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,680
At the time, you had begged me...

196
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,920
and swore never to do evil again.

197
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,960
That's why I spared your pitiful life.

198
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,400
You have no shame.

199
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,560
Did you come to finally be killed?

200
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:38,960
Insolent commoner!

201
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,520
Did you forget whom you're speaking to?

202
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,400
You degenerate of the Eagle Claw Sect.

203
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,280
You dare abuse your power?

204
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,880
Is there no law in the Qing government?

205
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,160
I'm not abusing my power.

206
00:14:53,310 --> 00:14:56,170
I am following orders from Lord Rong Lu,
governor of Zhili,

207
00:14:56,250 --> 00:14:58,710
here on official business.

208
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,260
You've already arrested Lord Tan.

209
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,600
What other official business is there?

210
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,320
Tan Si Tong is a rebel.
He had to be arrested.

211
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,240
You, who is named Wang Wu,

212
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,160
is an accomplice of the rebels.

213
00:15:14,290 --> 00:15:16,040
You've been brandishing your sword around,

214
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,470
misleading the people of the capital.

215
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,520
It's time you submit to the law.

216
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:22,480
What a joke!

217
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,880
Do you own the government or what?

218
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,560
You want to arrest me?

219
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,520
Show me the official document.

220
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,000
Who do you think you are?

221
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,280
Tan Si Tong is after all
a government official.

222
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,920
To behead him,

223
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,080
it is necessary to have
the Old Buddha's order.

224
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,960
You are nothing but a rogue.

225
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,760
Today, I will take action
before getting permission.

226
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,040
Get him!

227
00:16:35,650 --> 00:16:37,200
Listen to me.

228
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,320
Ying Si is a despicable scoundrel!

229
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,360
He's out for revenge.

230
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,320
You guys are blindly following orders.

231
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:46,720
You're now accomplices.

232
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,600
This is wrong!

233
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:50,960
Heed my advice.

234
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:52,760
Get out of my way!

235
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,120
If not,

236
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:56,880
my sword has no eyes.

237
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,800
It will chop you up!

238
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,570
Men!

239
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,319
He is a wanted criminal!

240
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,430
Lord Rong Lu gave a secret order.

241
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,640
The one who kills Big Sword Wang Wu...

242
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,980
will be promoted three ranks
and awarded ten taels of gold!

243
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,200
Who are you?

244
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,360
How dare you interfere
in an official arrest?

245
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,760
What kind of a coward
uses sneak attacks?

246
00:17:53,940 --> 00:17:55,410
Come down and fight if you dare.

247
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:56,880
Traitor Ying Si!

248
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,400
-I'll kill you!
-Wait.

249
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,320
We're outnumbered.
Don't do anything rash.

250
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,020
You go first. I'll be behind you.

251
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,440
-Thank you.
-Go!

252
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:13,000
Over there!

253
00:18:19,940 --> 00:18:20,920
Don't chase!

254
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:22,280
Lord Si.

255
00:18:24,860 --> 00:18:28,580
I was going to take revenge
and kill Wang Wu amidst the chaos,

256
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,040
but out came a meddling interloper.

257
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,120
That man is skilled.

258
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,280
We don't know who he is.

259
00:18:37,410 --> 00:18:41,290
It would be troublesome
if he was someone from the government.

260
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,840
We'll let Wang Wu live a while longer.

261
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,010
Let's go.

262
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,720
Why did you help me?

263
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,600
From what happened tonight,

264
00:19:06,980 --> 00:19:08,140
my guess was correct.

265
00:19:08,500 --> 00:19:10,700
You didn't miss the appointment
on purpose.

266
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,760
What does that matter?

267
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,280
Look around you.

268
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:15,980
This is no time for ramblings.

269
00:19:16,060 --> 00:19:16,920
Senior.

270
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,160
I appreciate your help.
Sorry I can't repay you.

271
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,640
Until we meet again.

272
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:22,960
Wait, Senior!

273
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,720
What really happened today?

274
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,400
Why did those men want to harm you?

275
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,920
I may be able to share your burden.

276
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,120
No need to share my burden.

277
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:39,800
From now on,

278
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,000
I, Big Sword Wang Wu,

279
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,760
will no longer be the same Wang Wu.

280
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,240
Huo Yuan Jia.

281
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,100
Don't get yourself involved with me.

282
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,520
Save yourself from unnecessary trouble.

283
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,540
[West Street]

284
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,710
"Kang Guang Ren, brother of Kang You Wei,

285
00:20:14,790 --> 00:20:18,340
"and imperial official, Yang Shen Xiu,"

286
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,200
"army secretary, Tan Si Tong,"

"Yang Rui, Liu Guang and others..."

288

"were found to have conspired
with Kang You Wei."

289
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,760
Master, what is going on?

290
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,720
What happened?

291
00:20:35,850 --> 00:20:37,360
Don't ask. Let's go.

292
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,680
Senior Gao Qi.

293
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,520
What was that all about?

294
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,280
A brat like you
doesn't have to know.

295
00:20:44,360 --> 00:20:48,280
Come on, you won't tell me
because I'm a kid?

296
00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:50,480
Enough questions.
It's an execution notice.

297
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,720
The names circled in red
will all be beheaded.

298
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,160
So many?

299
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,440
Master!

300
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,280
Liu Zhen Sheng!

301
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:09,360
Master!

302
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:11,820
-Brother Zhen Sheng!
-Da You!

303
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,040
Brother Zhen Sheng.

304
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,340
Gao Qi!

305
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,090
And you, boy, has grown taller!

306
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,160
You're in your official attire.

307
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,040
You shouldn't be hollering on the street.

308
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,600
I was overjoyed to see you all, Master.

309
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:25,880
I forgot to change.

310
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,880
The grand master sent word.

311
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,080
The capital is dangerous.

312
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,560
He worries you'd get into trouble
and wants you home.

313
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:33,880
Are you chasing me off?

314
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,920
You're working for the government now.

315
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,400
I brought your juniors
all the way for a visit.

316
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,030
You should be treating us well.

317
00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:42,330
[Prison soldier]

318
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:44,880
Yes, Brother Zhen Sheng. I've yet
to try Peking Duck.

319
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,360
You can do it yourself.

320
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,080
Such a glutton you are.

321
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,830
Come, I'll treat you to Quanjude.

322
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,040
-Come.
-Hooray!

323
00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:59,800
Here, Xiao Wu.

324
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:04,800
Zhen Sheng.

325
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,080
You finally found yourself
a good livelihood.

326
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,800
Next time you meet me,
you can call me something else.

327
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,000
Why would I?

328
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:13,320
Once a master,
forever a father figure.

329
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,720
I'm only a year older than you.

330
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:15,960
Plus, I'm still unmarried.

331
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,220
You're making me sound like an old man.

332
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,600

00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,520
He now faces death.

500
00:31:19,220 --> 00:31:20,820
Wang Wu wants to see him
one last time.

501
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,880
Who are we to deny that from them?

502
00:31:25,390 --> 00:31:28,900
Master, that Wang Wu is known
for his fiery temper.

503
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,040
The matter will only get out of hand
if he caused a scene.

504
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,720
I will accompany him.

505
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,640
He won't have the chance to cause a scene.

506
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:36,660
But...

507
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,080
Liu Zhen Sheng, whenever
you got into trouble before,

508
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,920
I was the one who was punished.

509
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,050
Master.

510
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,360
Why are you bringing that up?

511
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:52,860
I know.

512
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,180
If the old master hadn't taken me in,

513
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:56,880
I would've died of hunger.

514
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:58,780
But this is...

515
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,100
Zhen Sheng.

516
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:10,760
I'm pleading with you.

517
00:32:10,940 --> 00:32:11,960
Think about it.

518
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,920
As a martial arts practitioner,
my words are tied to my reputation.

519
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,040
Don't forget, that is the mighty
Big Sword Wang Wu.

520
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,320
If I failed to keep my word to them,

521
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,420
if people heard...

522
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:22,520
How embarrassing would it be?

523
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,040
When can I see Lord Tan?

524
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:34,360
My pupil said...

525
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,400
the best time is the night after tomorrow.

526
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:37,420
Night after tomorrow?

527
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:38,840
August 12.

528
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,400
He will be executed on August 13.

529
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,000
I think that's too late.

530
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,340
My pupil will be on shift
the day after tomorrow.

531
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,020
He's bribed the wardens
on duty that night.

532
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:50,500
The safest bet is to wait until then.

533
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,740
You will come on your own
and I'll accompany you there.

534
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:55,910
Fine.

535
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:57,320
Huo Yuan Jia.

536
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,400
You too, are risking your life
to help me.

537
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:01,420
Tell me.

538
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:02,820
How should I repay you?

539
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,160
You don't have to.

540
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,140
No, the deed must be repaid.

541
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,660
I never owe anyone any favours in life.

542
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:10,900
Name it.

543
00:33:14,010 --> 00:33:16,050
I am a martial arts practitioner.

544
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,760
If I can have a proper match with you,

545
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,620
that would be a great honour to me.

546
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,690
So, after you meet with Lord Tan,

547
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,860
you can pick a time.

548
00:33:28,300 --> 00:33:29,240
No.

549
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,360
Do it tomorrow.

550
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,200
-Tomorrow?
-Yes, tomorrow.

551
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,040
At Yinshan Pagoda Forest.

552
00:34:44,300 --> 00:34:46,460
You use a different Huo Fist
from your father's.

553
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,199
You learned from someone else?

554
00:34:48,469 --> 00:34:49,409
That's right.

555
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,560
My method is based
on the ancestral teaching...

556
00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:54,000
and modified by myself.

557
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:56,540
Does it have a name?

558
00:34:57,240 --> 00:34:58,640
I simply came up with one,

559
00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:00,200
called Deceptive Fist.

560
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,960
Your punches are fast and unpredictable.

561
00:35:05,070 --> 00:35:07,030
The name, Deceptive Fist, is apt.

562
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:08,880
Come.

563
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,760
I'm ready to learn something new.

564
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,400
Such a good Deceptive Fist.

565
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,040
I can say for sure...

566
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,520
that you've got yourself
a one-of-a-kind weapon.

567
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,380
You are too kind.

568
00:36:30,460 --> 00:36:32,500
I am undeserving of your praise.

569
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:34,730
Since this is a kung fu match,

570
00:36:34,810 --> 00:36:36,690
it'd be much too boring
to only use our limbs.

571
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,160
Agreed.

572
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,480
When you yielded a staff
as a spear that day,

573
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,000
I could clearly tell.

574
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,800
You are well-versed with the spear.

575
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,160
I'll be frank.

576
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,240
The Huo Spear Method
originated from the Yue Spear Method.

577
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,040
The nationalist martyr, Yue Fei?

578
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:13,380
That's right.

579
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:16,930
No wonder.

580
00:39:13,770 --> 00:39:14,890
Great skill.

581
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:16,960
In the martial arts world today,

582
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,120
I can say you are the only one
of your age...

583
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,770
that can receive 100 attacks
from my sword.

584
00:39:23,850 --> 00:39:25,090
You flatter me, Senior.

585
00:39:25,240 --> 00:39:27,180
There is no way I deserve that praise.

586
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,040
You keep addressing me as senior.

587
00:39:30,220 --> 00:39:31,620
Am I that old?

588
00:39:38,340 --> 00:39:39,940
What are you doing, Senior?

589
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,880
I, Big Sword Wang Wu,

590
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:44,880
born in Cangzhou, Hebei.

591
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,930
I knew you were born in Cangzhou.

592
00:39:47,010 --> 00:39:48,400
My family came from Cangzhou, too.

593
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:49,640
We share the same hometown.

594
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,040
Then save the friendly talk.

595
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,240
20 years ago, I had dueled
with your father.

596
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,460
I've long known what the Huos are about.

597
00:39:58,960 --> 00:39:59,980
Come here.

598
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:01,780
Kneel with me.

599
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,080
What? You...

600
00:40:05,150 --> 00:40:06,210
What?

601
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,280
I wish for us to be sworn brothers.

602
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:10,500
Are you not willing?

603
00:40:10,910 --> 00:40:12,160
No, it's just...

604
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:13,240
Stop blabbering then!

605
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:14,880
Am I not good enough for you?

606
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:15,980
Of course not.

607
00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:18,000
With your qualifications,

608
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,850
I wouldn't dare
be regarded as your brother.

609
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:24,720
No need for hesitation.

610
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,080
Seniority in the martial world
is meaningless.

611
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,080
I asked you to kneel, so kneel!

612
00:40:31,210 --> 00:40:33,440
That's... I can't do that.

613
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,840
Senior, if my father finds out...

614
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,480
that I disregarded the rules
of the martial world,

615
00:40:38,780 --> 00:40:41,080
he'd probably break my legs.

616
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,400
Your father...

617
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:44,860
only goes by the book.

618
00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:47,360
You and him are totally different.

619
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:48,680
Don't listen to him.

620
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,900
Today, I have made my mind.

621
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,880
I want to become sworn brothers
with you.

622
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:56,540
If you kneel,

623
00:40:56,720 --> 00:40:59,440
we will then be brothers
from here on out.

624
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,020
If not...

625
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:08,920
Good.

626
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,880
I, Big Sword Wang Wu,

627
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,560
born in Cangzhou, Hebei.

628
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,960
I, Huo Yuan Jia,

629
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,440
originally from Cangzhou.

630
00:41:19,720 --> 00:41:21,640
Currently resides in Jinghai, Tianjin.

631
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:23,100
On this day,

632
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,500
the two of us will become sworn brothers.

633
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:26,940
From today onwards,

634
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:28,700
my life...

635
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,400
is my brother, Huo Yuan Jia's life.

636
00:41:33,470 --> 00:41:35,500
What do you mean, Senior?

637
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,200
-Still calling me senior?
-Big brother.

638
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,000
That's right.

639
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:43,340
Kowtow!

640
00:41:53,860 --> 00:41:54,660
Zhen Sheng,

641
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,330
there's something that I don't understand.

642
00:41:57,670 --> 00:41:59,110
When people became sworn brothers,

643
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,880
they'd say "Enjoy blessings and
endure misfortune together,"

644
00:42:02,350 --> 00:42:05,110
or "We may not be born on the
same day, but we wish to die together."

645
00:42:05,490 --> 00:42:07,600
But Brother Wang Wu only said,

646
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,360
his life is in my hand now.

647
00:42:09,510 --> 00:42:10,790
What does he mean by that?

648
00:42:12,850 --> 00:42:14,290
Master, this isn't right.

649
00:42:15,430 --> 00:42:16,990
Wang Wu lied to you.

650
00:42:17,580 --> 00:42:19,420
-He lied to me?
-Look,

651
00:42:19,540 --> 00:42:22,780
he became your sworn brother
because I'm a prison guard.

652
00:42:23,260 --> 00:42:25,820
He only wanted to get into the
prison and rescue Tan Si Tong.

653
00:42:26,110 --> 00:42:27,870
I must report this to the court.

654
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:29,160
Liu Zhen Sheng.

655
00:42:30,940 --> 00:42:33,220
I'll be breaking into the
prison with Brother Wang.

656
00:42:33,310 --> 00:42:36,030
Aren't you selling me out too?

657
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:37,610
Master,

658
00:42:37,810 --> 00:42:40,610
could you have known
Big Sword Wang Wu's intention?

659
00:42:44,830 --> 00:42:45,790
Zhen Sheng,

660
00:42:46,390 --> 00:42:49,610
my father had been calling you stupid when
we were learning how to fight as kids.

661
00:42:49,690 --> 00:42:51,630
But you've become sharp...

662
00:42:51,710 --> 00:42:53,550
after spending only
a few years in the capital.

663
00:42:53,910 --> 00:42:55,030
Master,

664
00:42:55,310 --> 00:42:56,510
you knew it, didn't you?
