Original subtitles

From now on, you must love, respect and help each other

The hope of restoring our Ming Dynasty

is now in your hands

Children

from now onwards, we, the masters here

will give you rigorous training

We will teach you whatever we have learnt

without any reservations

Yes, sir

Does that mean we can't play anymore?

Don't talk

I will teach you the art of war

and strategies that are useful in battles

I will teach you all kinds of skills and how to use weapons

I am in charge of teaching you about medications and poisons

I will teach you the study of scriptures and literature

Music, chess, calligraphy and painting and even astronomy and geography

You will learn from me how to disguise yourself and change your voices

and how to change your body shapes

I will teach you how to use concealed weapons

and how to make and resolve all kinds of traps

So many things to learn! I am already feeling dizzy even before I start

Sister Yi Huan, both of us are last hope of our Great Ming Dynasty

We have double up our effort

and set an example for our fellow brothers and sisters

You can't be as playful as you used to be

and there's no room for laziness

Who are you to tell me how I should behave?

You are going to be my wife That gives me my rights

Pooh! I will not marry a boring guy like you

when I grow up

Yes

Can I take a look?

It is so beautiful!

- Are you done with your drawing? - Fifth Master

this is my mask

Have you seen my mask?

Isn't that the mask you made?

Fifth Master

this mask is mine. Yi Huan stole it

Yi Huan is so lazy to do hers

and stole her classmate's work and pass it up to me

She even pretended to be ill during the class

Yi Huan is smarter than any of the children

If she's willing to put in more effort she has a bright future ahead

You are quick to admit your fault

but, you keep on repeating them

Yi Huan, start tomorrow, others will practice martial arts for two hours

But you will have to practice for four hours

Others will complete one homework, you will have to do two

You not fit be Prince Jin's daughter if you continue behave like this

How can we put the hope of restoring Ming Dynasty in you?

Yi Huan, do not let us down!

You have to double up your effort!

Yi Huan...

Is there any improvement on Yi Huan's condition?

This poor kid was dropped on the ground

just moments after she was born

and was soaked in the rain for one day

This is why she will occasionally have headaches

All I can do

is to repress her pain

but I can't cure it

Yi Huan, it is all my fault

Actually, Yi Huan's disease is not without a cure

But we have to find a very special medicine for it

What kind of medicine do we need?

My master once told me that every complicated disease one suffers

has something to do with his fate

To overcome such fated difficulties

we need help from a benefactor

If we can have Longzhu (Dragon Pearl) for her medicine

there is still a possibility of curing Yi Huan's disease

Longzhu?

Yes, Longzhu

Longzhu is

the teardrop of an emperor

I once heard from a story teller among the folks

about the story of the Yangs Generals

Legends say that Yang Liu Lang was once sick so he can't go to war

Only dragon beard and phoenix feather can cure his sickness

This dragon beard was the beard of the Emperor of Song

and the phoenix feather was the hair of Empress Dowager Xiao of Laos

Meng Liang Jiao Zan used his wits

and managed to obtain the Empress Dowager's hair and cure disease

But now the Great Ming is long gone

Before we restore its reign

the Crown Prince is technically not the Son of the Dragon

Possibly only the teardrop of Aisin Gioro Xuan Ye

will qualify as Longzhu

But so far, which emperor

will shed his tears so likely?

Even if there is indeed Longzhu

how do we obtain it

and use it to cure Yi Huan's disease?

Godfather, Masters, fret not

I will restore the reign of Great Ming and ascend the throne

If Yi Huan needs any Longzhu, I will have plenty of them

It is fortunate for Great Ming

to have an ambitious Crown Prince like Your Royal Highness

To be fair, the theory of Longzhu as medicine

is merely a myth in the profession We don't have to be concerned about it

Continue your training. You will have a break after two hours

Second Master, why doesn't the little junior have to practice?

Yi Huan has a weak body

Prince Jin said that except for self-defence skills such as

Qinggong, concealed weapons, poisons and disguise

she can choose what she wants to practice

Go and continue your training

Brother Zhu

- Yi Huan, don't mess with it - This way

Sister Xue, stretch your hand towards your front

You are wonderful, sister

Brother Zhu, make it higher, higher

Be serious

This is good, Sister Fan. Your posture is correct

What you are doing, Brother Ye? Are you going to kill me?

I'm talking to you!

My beauty...

87, 88, 89

90...

Who is that?

I've been waiting for you, mayor

There are nine sets of traps in this safe

how did you get in here?

Your nine sets of traps are just child's play to me

It doesn't matter who am I

What matters is that you are keeping in your safe

the money allocated for the improvement of the embankment

yet a corrupt official like you are holding them back

and does not give to the folks who are suffering

These bandits on the Niutou Mountain must be scared of us

They even abandoned their fortress and ran away

But I still feel uneasy

Is it possible that they are playing a trick on us?

Stop

General, there is a fire at our provision store

What? The store is heavily guarded, is it possible for a fire to start?

I have no idea. The fire is too big

we can't hold it any longer Please return to the camp at once!

Go!

Go...

Beauty...

Hand me the latest military equipment atlas, will you?

Sure... No problem

Assassin...

Catch him...

Stop...

Masters, this is the offender, Hua Tai Sui

This is the atlas containing designs of Qing's latest military equipment

The Qing army surrounded the Niutou Fortress

Leader Niu of the Fortress requested help through a pigeon

This is the token that Leader Niu gave to the Pearl Valley

Leader Niu said

from now on, they will respond to our call

Good. Now it is your turn as the eldest senior

Masters, as the eldest among us

it is my duty to set an example for my juniors

Hence, I have done two things

The first is the killing of the Chuannan Bully Nan Ba Tian

What about the second one?

The second is to punish the Mayor of Tong Zhou, Xu Guo Qing

Godfather, Xu Guo Qing had swindled the fund for the embankment

but his offence does not warrant death

Moreover, he has a 90-year-old grandmother and a 70-year-old mother

Hence, I only forced him to release the fund,

and chopped off his left hand as punishment

Excellent. Your Royal Highness has punished him adequately

Children

you have passed various tests You are ready to go

After this

I will have more important missions to be entrusted to you

Where is Yi Huan?

What is this place?

I have never been here

Perhaps someone had lived here before?

What is in this tank?

Let's open it and have a look

Wild grape wine!

Why is there wild grape wine over here?

I'm back!

Where have you been? Everyone is worried about you

What is there to be worried about?

What kind of problems can an adult like me get into?

- Father - All you know is to fool around

and nothing else

Don't you know that?

All of your seniors have passed the test

and are ready to go

Really?

Congratulations, seniors

Sister Xue, when you go into the wild world

please remember your little sister in everything

Will you spare all the good food for me?

- No problem - Given your skills

wouldn't you be a burden if you follow your seniors?

Surely I wouldn't! How petty you are

The seniors don't think so, right?

They will share their fortunes and bear their own troubles, right?

Worst comes to worst, they will rob a place and I will keep watch

They will eat the meat while I drink the soup

You make the big talk

I won't be bothered about you

Go back and kneel in front of a wall and reflect upon yourself

So be it

Let's go

Did you go into the mountain again?

Don't you know there are beasts in the mountain? It is dangerous

Why are you nagging like my father?

I have found an interesting place in the mountain

All you know is to play around

What interesting place?

Someone has put in the cave

a big tank of grape wine

Really? You shouldn't go there again

Masters

Listen

The first important mission that I want you to complete after you ready

is to look for a copper box left by Emperor Chong Zhen

This box is related to a top secret of our alliance

I am the only one who knows about this secret

But I think, it is about time that I reveal it

You must never leak this secret to anyone

We understand...

Years before Emperor Chong Zhen committed suicide

he had foreseen the worst

Hence, he made plans to prepare for it

He gathered all the treasure

that is found in the palace and the reserve

ordered his confidant to hide it in a secret location

And made a treasure map

Treasure map?

Does that mean we will be rich if we can find it?

The treasure is needed to restore the Great Ming Dynasty

Emperor Chong Zhen had also planned for three secret bases

The first base is in Taiwan

led by Prince Yan Ping, Zheng Jing.

The second base is this Pearl Valley

led by the Cheng Sheng Nan and myself

The third base is even more secretive that even I don't know its location

Emperor Chong Zhen made a booklet

containing information of these three bases

and the spies of the Great Ming were sent to all corners of the nation

Prince Jin, where is this copper box then?

After the Qing army entered the Pass

this box is possibly in the hands of the Qing army

But they will never know about the secret behind the box

Emperor Chong Zhen had once

gathered all skilled mechanics of the empire

and made three sets of gears for the box

In order to open the box

all three golden keys must be inserted

only then can you access the box

If one tries to open it by force without the three keys

the mechanisms will be triggered

the map and the booklet contained inside will be destroyed

Then these three golden keys...

The third key is decorated with jade

it is in the hand of Prince Yan Ping, Zheng Jing in Taiwan

The second key is decorated with agate

once it belonged to Zhang Xian Zhong

But it eventually got into my possession

The first golden key is decorated with white jade

It was kept by Emperor Yong Li himself

When my father, the Emperor was killed by Wu San Gui

this golden key

have fallen into Wu San Gui's hand

I have no idea whether it surrendered to the Qing Dynasty or not

You have two important missions outside the valley

The first is to use whatever means you have

to retrieve the copper box and the golden keys

The second is to contact all the spies throughout the nation

and incite the conflict between Oboi and Kang Xi

in order to cause a disturbance in the Qing court

Don’t worry, Masters

We will put in all of our efforts

to complete both missions

Very well

You will be under the Crown Prince's command

for this operation outside the valley

Your Royal Highness, you should not use your real name as Zhu Ci Xuan

but use the alias, Li Jian Qing

The others should not address him as the Crown Prince

but to address him as your eldest senior, understand?

Noted...

You will have to go to Beijing for both missions

Go pack your belongings, you will leave at dawn

Going to Beijing? Wonderful!

I have heard since I was little

that Beijing is the most happening place in this country. Can I go?

You can't go

Why can't I?

You have been slacking all this while

be it in the martial arts or concealed weapons

or any essential skills, so you have not mastered any of them

Hence, you will stay in the valley

and continue your training with your juniors

That is unfair!

Father, can I go? Please?

I'm getting so bored in the valley

I will complete the missions with Brother Zhu and Sister Xue

is it alright?

Yes, Master

please let Yi Huan go with us

Yes, Master, please let Yihuan follow us

Master, please let her go with us

Father, please?

Your Royal Highness, you are the head of this operation

You will decide

whether Yi Huan is staying in the valley

or she will go with you

Brother Zhu, you loved me dearly since young, haven't you?

You will let me go to Beijing with you, right?

Yi Huan, the missions we have this time

are of utmost importance

I have to account for all situations

let alone taking care of your safety

Therefore, you should just remain in the valley

and continue your carefree life, all right?

I will bring you good food when I am back

Father, Masters

I have no particular ambitions

my only wish is to enjoy every good food wear every pretty clothes

and to find the recipe to make the Beauty Skin Cream

and cure Sister Qian Ying's face

I beg for your forgiveness for leaving without your permission

Once I have fulfilled my three wishes

I will surely come back and be ready for the punishment

The masters had always said of how dangerous these traps are

yet I solved it without any problem

Li Yi Huan, you really are a genius!

Master Fan

send a word through the pigeon to the Crown Prince

and inform them that Yi Huan has left the valley

and they must protect Yi Huan

Since Your Highness is worried about Princess Yi Huan

why did you simplify the traps

and allowed her to leave?

Prince Jin

seven years ago I was left without choice

so I took it to my own hands

and substituted your son with the Princess

The girl whom I have killed

with my own arrow seven years ago

was the last princess of our Great Ming Dynasty...

I, Li Ding Guo

should be punished!

No, the princess is still alive

The arrow you shot seven years ago

landed on a jade pendant given to her by the Empress

Therefore, the princess wasn't hurt

All these years

I have hidden her in the Pearl Valley

The Crown Prince who is in Taiwan at the moment

is a great encouragement for us

who are still loyal to the Great Ming Dynasty

If they come to know

that there is only a princess left for the Great Ming

chances are they will lose hope for restoration

The only persons that know that the Crown Prince is your son

and Yihuan is the last Princess of Great Ming

are you and me

I understand that

I will write to Prince Yan Ping at once

and request him to send the Crown Prince back

I will claim that I have the will of the late Emperor

that the Crown Prince is to marry my daughter, Yihuan

Hence their offspring

will be considered as carrying the bloodline of the Great Ming

We are not letting the late Emperor down in any way

I think this arrangement is excellent

Yi Huan is the only bloodline left by the late Emperor

It is a shame that she is lazy

and is only interested in the enjoyment of fun

If we just protect her without letting her go through her own hardship

the late Emperor wouldn't even rest in peace

Prince Jin is indeed thoughtful and considerate

Let's hope that her journey to Beijing this time

will make her a more mature person

What are you doing?

- It is so cute! -Do you want that?

Birds for sale!

Hello there. Look at this bird

Birds should be flying free instead of being kept in the cage

What are you doing?

I'm sorry

Hot buns!

The Masters always said that the Qing court is corrupted and the people

are suffering. Yet Beijing is so happening

Perhaps the Masters have not left the valley for a long time

and did not realise how much the world has changed?

Move away...

Move away!

I said, move away!

Move!

Hey kid

What are you doing?

I'm sorry about that

It is all right

Yes, young master

Where are these people being escorted to?

Where else can it be? Definitely the market

Market? Where people sells vegetables?

You don't even know about the Market?

The Market is where the court executes the offenders

If so, what crime did they commit?

There is a baby on the cart

is he going to be beheaded as well?

They are what is left of the previous dynasty

claiming to restore the rule of the Great Ming

All of these are considered grave offence

hence the whole family will be executed

How cruel the current emperor is

Executing the whole family? No wonder people supports the restoration

What nonsense you are talking about, you rascal?

I will...

This little brother is just saying his mind. It's no big deal

Yes

Little brother, judging by your accent you are not local, right?

It is my first time here

Coming over to visit your relatives and friends?

Technically, yes

Mainly because I want to see how the Forbidden City looks like

and try some of the good food in Beijing

It will be best if I can have a look of the Emperor

It is not difficult to look at the Forbidden City

Just take a look from afar then

If you want good local food

the First Restaurant in the city will surely satisfy you

But the Emperor lives inside the palace

He is not someone you can easily meet

It is no big deal if I can't see him. I'm just curious

Do you think the evil Emperor has a green face and sharp teeth

and looks extremely scary?

What are you talking about?

You have never met the Emperor

Why do you say that he has a scary look?

And how dare you say that he is evil? Are you looking for trouble?

I'm not wrong. I have not met the Emperor

but he is willing to execute the whole family

even new-born babies are not exempted

doesn't that make him an evil emperor?

One more word and I will...

But I heard that the Emperor is of young age

Although he has started his rule

the power still lies with the assisting minister, Oboi
