Original subtitles

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty,

The Emperor is addled and confused

And cliques grab all the power

Eunuch Wei Zhongxian in the East

Controls the Dynasty's affairs

And forms a clique to pursue his selfish interests,

kill faithful and upright officers

and bring calamity to the Dynasty and its people

Since taking the throne

Ordinary people are killed randomly and cruelly

Many officers are angry, but afraid to speak out

Infinite royal graciousness and a peaceful world

Mr. Wei blesses the Ming Dynasty

Seeing off with great respect, Wei Zhongxian

Seeing off with great respect, Wei Zhongxian

Seeing off with great respect, Wei Zhongxian

Seeing off with great respect, Wei Zhongxian

Faster, much faster

Take it easy, your Excellency

A dark night like this is full of murderous danger

We had better watch out

Thanks to you three chivalrous persons for saving me

I will see the Emperor tonight

And show the Emperor the evidence of this crime

Wei Zhongxian, this eunuch shall be killed

Three Luzhou swordsmen will follow your Excellency

Your Excellency, an assassin

Don't worry

Your Excellency, we killed madam by mistake!

No!

Madam

I've been framed by the traitor minister Wei Zhongxian

So foolish

You go ahead

I'll follow behind

I'm too tired to run, too tired...

Let me take a breath

The traitor should handle this tenacious assassin

Let me deal with her

You go inside and hide

Follow me, your Excellency

Watch out

Give me the secret letter, or die

I don't care

But the Ming Dynasty territories

will be destroyed by eunuchs

Take care, Sister Ling

Look out for yourself

I'm doing my part!

Go scramble for fruit, you made woman

How dare you?!

Look at them, Wei Zhongxian

Playing house? You girls...

You really want the secret letter?

Hmm... it's just a copy

The original is in a safe place

Someone will give it to the Emperor sooner or later

Eliminate the eunuch Wei Zhongxian

We will die together

Ha ha ha ha...

To kill traitor ministers...

We will cut out the sickness poisoning Dongchang

Do a act of merit

Assassin Ling

Assassin Leng

Assassin Ying

Live up to legacy of Wei Zhongxian

You will all be rewarded

Many thanks, your Excellency

The letter you take back today is just a copy

Someone must make some trouble

You three...

If one of you helps us

kill the traitors left behind

and get the original letter

you will be generously rewarded

Waiter, waiter

Here

Will you be checking in?

Show me your best rooms

This way

Sitting west to east

Rooms with good ventilation and abundant sunshine

Suzhou and Hangzhou's finest silk, touch and see

Xihu Longjing teas, just for you

Smell

Free hot water service for 12 hours

Equipped with interior phones

It'll fly to its post

Within half an incense

Girls in the Chunxiang Building next door

will serve you quickly

Is there wi-fi?

Wi...Fi?

It's pronounced "wai-fei"

Foreigners feed a new kind of carrier pigeon

Extremely useful

It'll fly crooked, trying to live without people

Shit

There's only one hotel in this area

Stay, or don't!

Here comes Bouilli

Wonderful

Fine, I will return your dish tomorrow

Oh, wait, you haven't paid yet

On credit

Oh, our landlady makes the rules

No bills due the end

Make an exception in my case

My wife gets along with your landlady

They have a good relationship

Hey, it's fine if you say so

My landlady and your wife are on speaking terms

You and the girl Xiaocuih

You...

Here's some money

Can I go now?

Hmm... take it easy, old Li

My prince, why are you drinking that?!

It was on the desk, nobody touched it

I'm thirsty, so I drank it

Xiaobao

Xiaobao

What's wrong, Xiaobao?

Xiaobao

Li Buxiao, my son comes to your house

for just a moment...

What's up?

- Wow - Xiaobao

- You're asking me? - Wake up, Xiaobao

I have to ask you something

Me?

The child is so young

Practices writing and copying in the morning,

then reading and writing in the afternoon

Whoops, Xiaobao

In the evening with foreigners...

Reading can't replace a mother

It's my fault

We're coming home

Reduce the burdens on my child

Ladies and gentlemen,

All customers

Come eat in our hotel, the Number One Scholar Hotel

Your luck is guaranteed

Hit a Three-A!

Hello, customers - please, go inside

Please

Informers in Dongchang have a secret letter

The original secret letter

Make a deal in this hotel tonight

Okay, let's act tonight

Oh, you made woman...

Don't betray us again tonight

You'll never make first-place assassin anyway

People won't think you're dumb if you don't say anything

You work on getting that first place...

like always

Leng, what are you doing?

I just hit you

Your internal force can't be used For 12 hours

You're crazy

All these years, I've sacrificed so much for Dongchang

Why are you so beloved?

Especially you, Ling

When I came to Dongchang,

In order to make a complete break from my past,

I burned everything I brought

But why did you keep the jade pendant?

Nothing to do with you

If you mention my jade pendant again

I'll paralyze you

Ying, you'd better not

Find a place to get some rest

Yeah

Oh, Sister Ling, I'm curious about everything

That jade pendant you carry...

Who gave it to you?

A lover, maybe?

I can't remember

Customers, some water to soothe your throats

Let's see this excellent food

Come back

Any rooms available?

Yes, we have some

One first-class room for me

Quickly

Excuse me

Okay, I'll handle it immediately

Your Excellency, why are you so kind to a townsman

You are so young

Do not judge by appearances

Waiter

Come here

Tell me what this is

This was prepared just for you, for examination in capital city

A luxury meal, set for a scholar

Don't give me that cheeky grin

Water is mixed into the wine, and sand into the rice

This entire Kung Pao Chicken becomes Kung Pao Cockroach

I dare you to eat it

Who is your landlady?

Call her in

The saints once said,

Men of noble character seek wealth on the road

Your landlady makes money

So heartless and cruel

This dish is so dirty

It's extremely expensive

More importantly, no bills are due

Today is memorable for me, taking part in the capital city examinations

Oh...

If I eat this dish...

I'll be unlucky...

If you don't pay me to make up for this,

I'll call some guys

to wreck your hotel

If someone gives me money, you'll avoid this disaster

We're coming to destroy your hotel

If you're not involved, get out

Go, go, go

The saints once said,

Gentlemen stay far away from troublesome places

Do your business

Hey, you haven't paid me yet

Where is your landlady, Li Buxiao

Call her in

Tell me about it, my landlady isn't here right now

Hey, you bastard!

Rough him up

Anyone who tells me

Li Buxiao is a bastard

will get a beating that'll take months to heal

Boss Liu, you call out Li Buxiao

And destroy my hotel

I'm afraid you'll be in the hospital until the New Year

Pooh, Liu Xiangxiang, that bitch

Destroys my hotel with nasty tricks

Come on

- Come here - Take care, Uncle Luo

Come out

You

Come out!

It hurts, it hurts

Using illegal cooking oil in dishes

Small on portions

Expensive and disgusting

It makes sense for you to close your doors

Stop, stop

I'm not afraid anymore

Calculate the fun I've had

Master Rao's life...

Destroy my hotel, it doesn't matter

But calling my Li Buxiao a bastard...

Do you know how much that hurts?

What if Li Buxiao

is too angry to eat?

Or has nightmares?

What should we do?

I'll compensate for the losses

Take three hundred silver dollars

Three hundred silver dollars

Cheap! How about five hundred

Fine, three hundred silver dollars

Here, here

Go away

Go

Hey, those two men come with evil intent, my sister

Send them away

Yes

Customers,

Our hotel is closed for remodeling

Please find another place

Please

Your landlady is skillful

I'll pay for all these rooms

I'm not going anywhere

Of course

This way

Relax at your leisure, customers

Hmm... what's your name, Brother?

My name is Li Buxiao

I am Ouyang Han

This is my disciple, Jiandu

Nice to meet you

Let me know if you require anything

Yeah

Though knowledgeable in kung fu,

They are townsmen

Slow down

Jiandu, you have natural gifts

but you're too young, too simple...

and too impulsive

If you don't fix these shortcomings

your identity as an imperial guard will be revealed

What your Excellency says is right

This private meeting matters a lot

Once we get the secret letter

We shall defeat Wei Zhongxian and wipe out Dongchang

Not all imperial guards will be in command

of collecting taxes there

Those Dynasty scholars

will serve us

What's up?

Nothing

Nobody knows where the two men came from,

but they're definitely not ordinary guys

Arrange rooms for those two men

Don't make trouble for yourself

Eh, whatever

Don't you see?

This is gold!

If they stay here a few more days,

We'll be rich for life, you and me

Is it clean downstairs

Just Uncle Luo and I are there

It can't get dirty that quick

Damn, don't look for excuses

I'll dock your salary

Please

Oh, my sister, that Boss Liu

Must compensate me

If you dream,

Don't dream of getting a dime

Oh, find accomplices to destroy the hotel randomly

Customers will get nervous and stay away

Your salary will seriously shrink

I'll be in power the moment Wei Zhongxian is defeated

You'll deserve a high position and great wealth by that time

It depends on if we can live through the night

What?

Just a few assassins...

the imperial guards failed to discover

Ah, who is it

Uncle Luo

My sister

Uncle Luo

Looking for these?

What are you doing, you lady-killer

You wanna run? No way

Hey, don't chase them, you fool!

Stop

Watch out

Jiandu

What are you doing here, waiter?

Damn, I'm helping you!

It'll be worse with your help, go after them from both sides

You go there

Why can't I get rid of them?

Don't worry, I have an idea

Ah

- Don't come any closer, or I'll kill her - Help!

Let her go

- Xiaodie - Don't come over here, do you hear me?

Help!

Don't hurt her, calm down

Why doesn't she wake up?

Hey, didn't I tell you?

Don't act recklessly

You should take action!

How can I save her without action?

Damn it

Get out if you want to quarrel

Let her get some rest

Hush

I'll never fuss about with you, a waiter

Hey, stop

My mother left me this jade pendant

I hope you'll take it with you

Hmm... I'll wear it forever

Hey, you're fighting with others

It's their fault

Who says I'm the bastard of eunuchs

I'll beat down anyone who says so

But, Xiaodie

Everyone dislikes and avoids me

Only you treat me well

Brother Buxiao

My daddy once said

A hero can also have humble family roots

You are so smart

And generous

In addition to having a very mean look

That's it

I never look at you like that

Brother Buxiao

Will you promise me one thing?

Yeah

No matter what you encounter in the future,

Please be optimistic, okay?

Fine, I promise

Sister

I see something bad in her eyes

Are you hiding something from me?

Bodhisattva,

please bless Xiaodie...

who's happy all the time

Bodhisattva,

please bless Brother Buxiao...

who doesn't fight with others in an old-style private school

Old-style private school?!

My father plans to send you there

You are smart

Clever

You'll snag a top scholarship in the future

A promising future

Thanks for thinking so highly of me, your Excellency

But, look at me

I'm not built for reading

Moreover...

Nobody will play with me if I go to school

You fool

I've told my father about us

What?!

What the hell...

If it weren't for my mother,

My father would be chasing you with a bat through the streets

He couldn't catch me

You!

My father, in the end

Think it over for a night in a schoolroom

He told me to tell you

He hopes you work hard

Pass the exams, and get a title for me

Really

Of course

The secret letter has been hidden in the scabbard

A success

Pack up

Let's go back

Imperial guards carry their orders

with their swords

Waiting for command at any time

Oh, it's Master

So, are you thinking of that girl you saved?

No, I can't

Settle accounts with the landlady

Yes

Hmm...

Your Excellency Ouyang

Your Excellency Ouyang!

I am in the hotel

The secret letter is in Ouyang Han's scabbard

An honor to meet Eunuch Li

Three excellent assassins work together in Dongchang,

Yet fail to get a secret letter

Please don't be angry, Wei Zhongxian

Relax, eunuch

We unexpectedly encountered outstanding persons In the Number One Scholar Hotel

We were unable to defeat them

Excuses!

Please tell grandpa, Wei Zhongxian

We've made it clear about our enemies

It is the commander of the imperial guard

Ouyang Han

He hides the secret in a certain place in the Number one Scholar Hotel

Unexpected

A leader of imperial guards

Sets himself against Dongchang

I'm afraid Ouyang Han must be tired of living

Now, Ling has dressed up well

She's entered the hotel,

blocked Ouyang Han,

and searched for the secret letter

Really

Imperial guards

Number One Scholar Hotel

The play begins

Ha ha ha ha...

How about my Master?

Considering the pulse manifestation,

It doesn't matter

His energy is greatly weakened

Residual poisons are in his body

They cannot be expelled

So he remains unconscious

Ah, I have tried my best

But you're a doctor!

Why can't you heal my Master?

I just have medical knowledge

It is difficult to detoxify

You quack!

It is hard for me

If you fail to cure my Master, I'll kill you

Oh, Jiandu

See you

- Fuck you - See you, see you

Jiandu,

what should we do next?

I'm afraid we have to stay for longer now

Once our Master is in better condition,

we shall leave

Ah, customers

Stay as long as you want

Any day is okay

I'll give you a ten percent discount

Not enough

Didn't you say ten percent discount?

Look, doors, windows and chairs were broken before

Oh, for the sake of safety

We'll step up our patrols

Overtime pay,

insurance,

And this

ah

Do I get overtime on patrols?

Oh, shut up

Where was I?

Landlady,

All my money is here

Take it

You're such a refreshing customer!

Take care

It's hot

Who cooked chicken soup for you, Uncle Luo?

Stay in my rooms

And drink my chicken soup?

Do you know how she's paying?

Take it from your salary

It's busy downstairs

Go quickly

Are you okay, Miss?

Thank you for your help, gentlemen

Oh

Xiaodie

It's me

I am Brother Buxiao

Who are you?

I am not Xiaodie

My father adopted me ten years ago

I'd lost my memory at that time

They named me Xiaoling

What happened?

I can't remember

Did you forget...

Ten years ago...

We both.. and..

What?

Any family left?

No

Since the death of my adoptive father

I became destitute and homeless

Worked for almost nothing

But, I met a thief

God, it's over

All my money

and everything I had was stolen

I had nothing at all...

then I met you

Ah, a... poor girl

- All your property was stolen - Shit

No cash in your pockets

What's wrong?

She doesn't have any money

My sister knows that now

So what

Damn it

This hotel operates with low profits,

but it's not a charity

After you've had a rest

Pack up your luggage

And where you came from...

go back there.

Landlady

I will pay for this girl

Wow, chivalry!

Have a good rest, Xiaoling

Okay

- Thanks a lot - Hey, what are you two doing here?

Get out, now!

You go and let this girl have a rest

- I'll go ahead - Let's go

Oh, don't go inside

I'm his family, let me in

Xiaodie

Xiaodie

My word, what evil

Such a beautiful girl

They cut up her face with knives

She suffered before she died

It was said she annoyed the Eunuch party

That's why it fell apart

Then her house is destroyed by a fire at night

Hush, keep your voice down

Do you want to die?

Xiaodie...

Who is it?

Need something?

It's me, Xiaodie

I told you...

I am not Xiaodie

My name is Xiaoling

Is there something I can do for you?

You are Xiaodie in every sense

Do you remember this jade pendant?

And how did you escape killing?

You may know me From ten years ago, Brother Li

But, what happened ten years ago

For me...

It is as far as a lifetime

I've completely forgotten

I just know I have a better life now

My name is Xiaoling

That's enough

Fine

Xiao... Xiaoling

Maybe we will be friends.

- Well, then - Sir?

- Ah - Are you going out?

Oh, getting medicine for Master

Can I go?

I'd like to take a walk

Fine

Hey, Xiao...

Slow down, girl

- You two - Thanks

Take care

I never thought you could be so funny

Thank you for your compliment, Xiaoling

Sir?

Your kung fu is good

You're talented and clever

There must be many girls who...

would bear your troubled heart

I have no opportunities

I accompany my Master all day long

Lanterns!

Come see our lanterns

Lanterns for sale

Do you mind my asking if you're married?

No, not yet

Hi!

What a coincidence!

So, what are you two talking about?

So funny...

Tell me something

It's got nothing to do with you

A waiter

What are you doing here?

I know a little about medicine

Let me smell that for a second

I know that's not of good quality

Let me pick it for you

Come with me

Hey, Xiaoling, you go first

This may take a half hour or so

- Ah - Miss Xiao Ling!

- Go - Then I'll go first

These are your favorite eggs, Xiaoling

Have some!

Oh, delicious

Eat this one

How many days you have lived here?

You should pay your rent

I've given you all my money

Spend that!

Well, let's look at your account

Look...

You're paying for all the rooms in our hotel

You seek medicine for your Master

And you, you should pay for medicine, food, and rooms for Xiaoling

Fine

I have no money right now

Please spare me for several days

I'll write a letter and ask for money

Not for one day!

No bills due at the end!

Now, you are here

I've lost money on you

So, I'll hold all your belongings

Until you pay on your account

Uncle Luo, please send his things to my room

What, I...

Please leave me my sword

Nope

All will be deducted, according to our rules

You townsmen!

Do you know how important that sword is to me?

There is... in my sword...

No way!

This hotel is not a charity

The doctors say your Master needs continuous medicine

So, before you send for money...

You can make money here, working as a waiter

Moreover...

From today on,

The hotel will be in normal operation

No contracting is available

Hmm...

You are so...

You, you, you, you... what?

Come here, have our food

Come here

Xiaoling, you should pay your rent, too

Ah

Take a look!

Hey, look at these two lanterns

Oh, you have really good taste, if you like this

Oh, come and eat

Good wine and good food at the Champion Inn

Everybody come on in for dinner.

Good wine and good food at the Champion Inn!

The food is rich and delicious

You will come again

Don't miss it!

Come over to Number One Scholar Hotel

Find excellent wine and delicious food in our hotel

Hey, you there!

Are you an idiot?

Xiaoling is alone

It's dangerous for her to be outside

Stay in the hotel

At least she won't be teased

Some people outside want to kill Jiandu's Master and followers

The world is dangerous

False friends are worse than bitter enemies;

I dare you to make a move, smelly waiter

Jiandu is outgoing without scheming

He brings in an unconscious Ouyang Han

It's difficult for him to deal with other enemies

So I have an idea

Keep them in the hotel

We can take good care of each other

Unexpected...

You consider more angles than I do

Come look

Be alert at night, Brother

I predict...

enemies will take action

Please be at ease

Besides

You should be more careful

Yeah

Eat it, quickly

I have no appetite

I'll make some medicine for Master

Oh, I don't eat anymore

I'm really exhausted

Eat while it's warm, Uncle Luo

Hey, do you hear a little mouse?

Catch the assassins!

Hmm... bad beginnings make for bad endings

Hey, pack it up quickly

Ah...this is how I packed

Within three days we'll have the secret letter

and kill Ouyang Han

By morning the day after tomorrow

Scatter the charmed incense in the hotel,

kill Ouyang Han for the secret letter,

and don't kill other irrelevant people

Kill you, kill you

Kill you, and you

Hack it up...

Now you begin to care about me

Are you tired?

Xiaodie

Do you remember me, Xiaodie?

Let me go, let me go

I miss you so much, Xiaodie

Admit you're wrong, let me go

Go away, waiter!

This has nothing to do with you

Her business is my business

That's a big claim

You looking to rebel?

Then Xiaoling comes to tell me...

When you will end this fight?!

You won't get a coin this month, Li Buxiao

If Jiandu fights one more time...

You'll go away with your Master

I don't care if you sleep on the street

Death has separated us for ten years

How could I ever forget you?

Forgetting is happiness, Brother Buxiao

It's time for you to make a complete break with the past

How could I?

I've missed you for ten years

I pretend to be nothing at all

But for me, you and me...

I'm not the Xiaodie you know

Miss Xiangxiang takes care of you

She has for ten years

You should cherish her

I hope you cherish the living

Live up to Miss Xiangxiang.

Take care

Are you bothered, Brother?

It's nothing

Sadness...

If you say so

Let bygones be bygones

Xiaodie is still in my heart

I can't forget her

Meeting her again, now...

And finding out

destiny carried her far away

I hope I never see her again

Master taught us martial arts for many years

I never heard you mention her

We're a family, together day and night

And you don't tell me about this matter

What should I have said?

Brother and Master have mentioned

fluidity is a kind of happiness

These years,

you've been with me

We operate a small hotel

Work hard to make a living

without getting tired

I'm afraid I've found my happiness

I... love you, Brother

My mother tells me

My dad just gave birth to me

My father couldn't bear the poverty

so he became a eunuch in a palace

No letters from him since then

Since then

I grew up among distain and rejection

I'm called the bastard of eunuch

Only Xiaodie was different

I can remember them the moment I close my eyes

They abused me

Only Xiaodie smiled at me

And you?

Me too

I learned martial arts from childhood

I have to show my respect to others

Nobody smiled at me like Xiaodie

We fought for her just now

Now, let's toast to her

Your Xiaoling is just like my Xiaodie

A toast... to the most charming smile in the world

You're good at talking, waiter

For Brother Buxiao...

Thank you for your love

But we need to fight Jiandu

This is for Ling

It's not my intention

If I leave without saying goodbye

Please don't find Ling

Who is it?

Li's me, Sister Ling

Wei Zhongxian can't sit still

He's leaving the capital with followers behind him

We will take action tonight

Leng, that madwoman wants to rob him

Come now

Xiaoling?

Leng, you can't kill her

Ling, you want to betray grandpa, Wei Zhongxian?

Are you crazy?

Never mind my business

Hmm... I'll let you feel double the pain

Go after her

Don't, just let her go

Xiao Ling, you're a fighter

Are you one of Dong Han's people?

What on earth happened, Xiaodie?

You don't have to hide anymore

Brother Buxiao

On that night ten years ago...

Stop

Don't run

Stop

Save me, save me

Where are you running to?

Hmm...

Since Grandpa Wei Zhongxian saved me,

he taught me kung fu

He killed eunuch Cao, who killed my family

and avenged my parents

Since then,

There's been only one me in the world

The assassin. Ling

My home is Dongchang

Wei Zhongxian is my family

So you do remember it all

You lied to me this whole time

I'm sorry

I've killed so many people

I don't deserve to be with you

Xiaoling, it's never too late to make amends

It's okay if you stop

Enough

You knew I was an imperial guard from the beginning

You flirted with me to start a romantic relationship

I am too naive

Sorry, everyone

Only Ouyang Han has not been caught

Ha ha ha ha...

- Withdraw - Okay

Hmm...

Grandpa Wei Zhongxian

Xiaoling,

you dare to face me

Leng has told me everything

Please don't be mad at me

Please don't kill the people in the hotel

Where is the secret letter?

We successfully found the letter

You can have a look

Nice, nice

Stand up

Xiaoling,

you are beloved by this family

If you kill Ouyang Han for this family,

And apologize to the others on your knees,

We will not trouble them

But, Grandpa Wei Zhongxian

A person in that hotel hurt me

Never make, always break

Make trouble for us,

I will punish later

I will go after that madwoman

Your Excellency

Yes

Leader eunuch Wei is well-protected In the capital city

Especially beside the Emperor

It won't be easy to kill him

I will pretend to change the secret letter

and tempt Wei to leave the capital city

Then kill him on the way

Many thanks to all of you

If Wei is trapped

You have to kill him

Eliminate Dongchang,

And great wealth waits for you

Thank you, your Excellency

But getting involved in a battle between Dongchang and imperial guards...

I just want to sell this hotel,

And go far away with my colleagues

Please don't look for us anymore

Landlady is smart

One thing is still unclear

Go

Why did you pretend to be unconscious

then stop the assassins

You didn't even tell me

A successful trick

I had to lie to my people

You are impulsive, Jiandu

I trusted more in making another move in this chess game

Who...

Assassin Ying

Think about it

Who encouraged the eunuch to kill us

Fine, Jiandu

Pack up your luggage

Follow me to see leader eunuch Wei

Yes, Sir

Hmm...

Go to hell, Wei

Come on

You dare to fight me

You're overconfident

I am a good guy, Uncle Luo

I've made so much trouble for you

Now the hotel is a place where people might get into trouble

You and the Brothers need to leave in safety

We'll meet later, if possible

It's late, Uncle Luo

This matter shouldn't be delayed, go now

You dare to harm my people?

You won't make it three days

Hmm... no bitch will be my rival

So conceited!

Xiangxiang

Xiangxiang

Xiangxiang

Xiangxiang

Brother...

Hold on, I will find a doctor

Don't leave me

Hold me. I'm so cold

Okay

Okay

Are you cold now, Sister?

Brother,

I've loved you for ten years

Accompanying you for ten years,

waiting for you... for ten years

This is the first time you've held me close

I am so happy

I want to sleep for a while

Sorry, sister

Please, don't sleep

All this time

I deducted your salary with excuses

but I saved it for you

I was afraid you'd spend it randomly

Until I saved a lot for you

We were going to buy a big house in capital city

We'd have... two children,

cultivate flowers,

feed the birds,

listen to Peking opera...

Grow old together slowly

Don't cry

You're not so good at crying

I'll... deduct your salary

Okay, I'll smile

Now you're laughing?

Deduct your salary

Xiangxiang

Xiangxiang, don't die!

No!

Xiangxiang

Go to hell, you old man

Don't force me to hurt you

I can't control myself

Ha ha ha ha...

The imperial guards will be at my command

Ha ha ha ha...

Wei Zhongxian

Ying has made our dream come true

You made an obvious contribution

What do you want?

Your life

Oh

Enough, Xiaoling

Wei ah is dead

Ouyang is dying

So is Xiangxiang

Don't beat us

Ah...

If you don't beat us

I'll do it

I'll keep you company to the end

Dongchang fights with imperial guards like dogs biting each other

They should die

But Xiangxiang,

she is innocent

It never ends

As long as one is Dongchang

I'll kill every one I find!

Dongchang is powerful

Many followers...

You'll be killing them for a lifetime

Uncle Luo, you're talking about what I hate

You are quarreling here,

while Wei Zhongxian, in the name of revenge

Searches for imperial guards

More people in prison will make trouble

Impossible

I'll saw Wei Zhongxian die with my own eyes

Put your weapons down

Let me tell you a story

Wei Zhongxian leads Dongchang and the eunuchs

His power is behind the Emperor

But it is just an identity

Wei Zhongxian isn't just one person

Pardon me?

Eunuchs unite the ministers

They firmly support Wei Zhongxian

Protected by Wei Zhongxian,

they are feared

Dongchang and the eunuchs

run amuck outside these walls

Nobody considers who truly rules Dongchang

I've served Dongchang for many years

Why wouldn't I know?

Miss Ling,

You are just a chess piece in Dongchang

Your family's extermination

Was planned by people in Dongchang

And then Wei Zhongxian came to you, offering a helping hand

So you'd serve Dongchang with your heart and soul

Elite assassins are trained this way in Dongchang

That damn traitor, eunuch Wei!

Who on earth are you, Uncle Luo?

Our house will be... the third Wei Zhongxian

Congratulations, Wei Zhongxian

Congratulations, Wei Zhongxian

Ying, you helped this family capture the throne in Dongchang,

And assisted us in killing the imperial guard commander

Such a historical contribution

Ha ha ha ha...

What do you want?

We will satisfy your request

From childhood to this day,

this madwoman opposes me

I ask that she be left unable to live,

but unable to die

Ha ha ha ha...

Done

No, no, no!

No, Grandpa Wei Zhongxian!

- No! - Ha ha ha ha...

Hmm...

What are you doing just sitting there, Li Buxiao?

Did you finish your work downstairs?

I'll dock your pay if I find out

Li Buxiao, did you forget your night patrols?

Why do you steal wine?

If I catch you next time

I'll deduct it from your salary

I love you, Brother

It's cold. Wear more clothes, Brother

Have more food

Drink less wine

You look thin

Take good care of yourself, okay?

I'll be going

See you

Xiangxiang

Please let me die

Let me

Accompany Xiangxiang on the way to hell!

It's okay if you stop doing evil things

Ah, Sister Ling, you are naive

Since the day I became an assassin

There was no turning back

Oh

Wei Zhongxian...

They are in

You good-for-nothing...

Ying

How...

is this old guy...

still alive?

I don't see the King of hell

That's really great, ha ha ha ha...

I'll see you off!

It was you in the hotel

Oh

Ling

Eunuch Li

Come back, and serve Dongchang

I'll spare your life

I dreamed of avenging my parents

And you,

An inferior leader of imperial guards

Should behave so badly in Dongchang

I will revenge Ouyang Han with your life!

Ouyang Sifu adopts all schemes

He feels he will win

But he never considered...

he could buy assassin Ying

But I did

I wrote the secret letter

I guess old man Ouyang

Must have fallen for my trick

I tempted him with the secret letter

Then beat him at his own game

Used him to kill the last powerful man,

killing two birds with one stone

Stop this nonsense, go to hell!

You are so naive

There must be only one Wei Zhongxian in the dynasty

Buxiao, eunuch Li is right

The eunuchs have been in power for decades

Government positions at all levels of power

Are penetrated by eunuch influence

The roots run deep

Once there are no restraints from Wei Zhongxian,

the eunuchs will fight each other

and it's the people who will suffer

So, Wei Zhongxian must stay alive

What can we do?

This responsibility...

let me bear it

You?

I will constrain the eunuchs gradually

Destroy their influence in this country

Brother Buxioa, There's no turning back from this choice

Xiaodie, we will not meet again in this lifetime
