Original subtitles

Thirteen years of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty,

there was a drought in autumn.

A foreign body suddenly fell thirty miles northwest of Chang'an.

It was as red as a cloud at the beginning and

It was as red as a cloud at the beginning and as loud as thunder at the end of the day.

Falling to the ground leads to the spread of the divine fire,

which makes the soul burn, and the dust covers the sky.

The divine fire in the water shines on the sky,

and the people and animals nearby are all deadnorthwest of Chang'an.

Emperor Taizong summoned Qin Qiong to discuss in front of the palace

Later, Qin Qiong asked people to send the thing away quietly

No voice

Someone here.

I feel it's

gloomy and clammy here.

Yes.

I heard it's haunted here.

Are you sure? Don't scare me.

You two cowards.

Even if there are ghosts,

I will let them die again with my sword.

Stop talking nonsense.

Gather yourselves up.

Your Majesty gives us the oral instruction by himself,

ordering us to escort it in transportation.

It must be of great importance.

We can never let down our guard.

Rest assured, captain.

I know it very well.

But I'm just curious.

What's it on earth in this case?

Should it be escorted by so many guardians from the Highest Judiciary.

Don't ask useless questions.

Are there really ghosts?

Pretend to be ghosts to mystify us.

Dare you go out to sing?

Ambush

Protect the case.

Your Excellency, Cui.

Your Excellency, Cui.

The case was hijacked.

Mr. Cui and other guardians died in harness.

Only me barely escaped and rushed to report.

Your Majesty, this affair...

When did I order you to go to Malingpo Slope?

I don't remember.

Mr. Cui told me by himself.

He has died.

Your Majesty.

Mr. Cui died for unknown reasons.

Please allow me to investigate.

Go back first.

Let me think for a while.

Your Majesty.

Go back.

General Qin comes.

Goodbye, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty called me here early in the morning.

What's happened?

General Qin. You finally arrive.

What do Your Majesty worry about?

Who are you?

Dare to break into the bed-palace.

Your Majesty.

I'm the dragon king of Ching River outside Chang'an City.

Your Majesty is really the Son of Heaven. And I'm the dragon king of night.

Rainfall commits the rule of heaven when the minister

corrects the rain without authorization

Official of Your Majesty, Wei Zheng should capitalize me at midnight.

Please save me.

The dragon king.

Wei Zheng is an impartial and strict man.

He will never twist the law to suit others' purposes.

I can't help you.

If Your Majesty save me this time,

I will guarantee favorable weather in the next century for the Tang Dynasty.

My dear subject Qin, you must help me.

I may make a big mistake this time.

General Qin, humble servant Yunlong of the Highest Judiciary is here.

My brothers and superior Cui Chong died at Malingpo Slope accidentally.

I want to know the reason and pledge my loyalty to Mr. Cui.

Listen carefully.

From now on, the Highest Judiciary has nothing to do with this case.

You mustn't investigate anything about it.

Go back at once.

You can never go out without permission

Never go to Malingpo Slope again.

But Mr. Qin.

This is Your Majesty's order.

Your Lord, things you need have been prepared.

OK.

Where is the bead?

We haven't find.

Wushuang.

Got it.

I'm a little scared.

Why scare, sister?

Your brother is still here.

I heard that someone seemed to die here.

Dad told me

The court had already approached Mr. Yuan Tianshi to do it here.

It's OK.

Listen, what's the sound?

Don't scare yourself, OK?

Maybe it's just the yellow weasel.

Why does the carriage stop?

Wait for me here.

Let me check outside.

Cart driver.

Cart driver.

Cart driver.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

Go away.

Help.

Go away.

You bastards. I'm Yunlong of the Highest Judiciary.

Being so ugly and learning to play tricks on other people's daughters

Wait. I said you.

Who are you?

Get out of the way.

I get out of the way.

Do you know who I am?

I'm Yunlong from the Highest Judiciary.

I have every right to suspect that you have something to do with this monster

Go back with me to the Highest Judiciary.

What's this?

Xuan, Xuanji Department.

A small judiciary official dare interfere with our Xuanji Department.

Take him away.

Let's go.

You see, we both serve Your Majesty.

Could you?

Shut up.

This is Xuanji Department.

Are you two swindlers?

Go.

I tell you.

Genera Qin and I are best friends.

He even assigns subordinates to guard me when I sleep.

You can go there to check.

This way, this way, this way.

Don't touch me or you will die.

You know General Qin?

Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao.

He rode the horse to sweep both banks of the Yellow River,

fighting against enemies in 9 states, 36 prefectures and 108 counties.

He is really the greatest hero in the world.

Guardian Yun, we soon meet again.

Your Excellency Qin.

Mr. Qin is occupied with a myriad of state affairs.

I dare not to disturb.

See you next time.

If I don't have the wrong memory,

I remembered having told you not to go to

Malingpo Slope.

I have the problem of sleep-walking since my childhood.

I really can't control myself.

Have you dreamed of being capitalized?

You Excellency must be kidding.

Who's kidding?

Your Excellency.

I know clearly that I deserve death for disobeying emperor's order.

But for Mr. Cui and the late brothers,

I'm willing to have a try.

I just expect Mr. Qin can root out the evils hidden in the dark

to comfort the wrongly dead.

Even if I die, it deserves.

How do you know it is evil?

Do you know what it is?

No.

OK.

You go to investigate by yourself.

So you don't pass me a sentence?

I didn't refuse to help the dragon king of Ching River on purpose.

And I didn't intend to deny my promise.

But Wei Zheng slept when playing the chess.

And he capitalized the dragon king in his dream.

Since then, I kept having nightmares.

I decided to have someone

deal with the dragon head secretly, hoping things would be better.

But who knows the dragon head would be kidnapped?

If it's known to others,

shouldn't I be laughed at?

The dragon head was kidnapped.

Your Majesty, is there anyone else who knows it?

Except for the guardian who came here before, others all died.

What about killing him?

Your Majesty, we can't do that.

This man can survive.

It means he has something extraordinary.

Our Xuanji Department is short of hands to deal with such a big case.

What about letting me deal with him?

Thank you.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Qin.

Mr. Qin ordered us to investigate the case.

But actually, he wanted us to find this guy.

Feifeng, Yunlong, listen.

Yes.

The case of dragon head kidnapping is of great importance.

You three go to Fuyi Street tomorrow.

Find a fortune-teller called Yuan Shoucheng to inquire.

Is there any relation between the dragon head kidnapping and the fortune-teller?

It's reported that before the dragon king was kidnapped,

he had made a bet with the fortune-teller.

I doubt there is something mysterious.

I see.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Long sigh disappears with a gust of wind

change the clothes when the wind blows

It's easy to wear stars and wear the moon.

Your Lord, all the things are developing according to your plan.

The imperial guardians of Xuanji Department have taken part in it.

Don't mention these guys.

Your Lord will be unhappy.

It doesn't matter.

It seems we'll meet our old friends soon.

Look different in this suit.

Comfortable.

Stylish.

What do you think of that, senior sister?

Can you guess out I'm an ace at one sight?

Shut up.

But I'm a registered official of

the Highest Judiciary.

Will I expose my identity?

You are a dead man now.

Dead man?

You went to follow the river monster.

And then died at your post.

What?

Eh, so.

So there is no longer anyone named Yunlong

in the Highest Judiciary.

Such an important thing. Should no one inform me.

Mr. Yuan, your scheme seems to involve a large range.

The rain and wind before us

will sometimes cover the rosy clouds behind it.

We shouldn't draw a conclusion too early.

Don't you be afraid that it will lead to a total defeat.

Don't worry, Prime Minister.

Fate is decided by the Heaven.

It shouldn't be.

The information from Xuanji Department never goes wrong.

Maybe that old man hasn't gotten up.

It can't be.

Why can't?

A fortune-teller who gets up late is quite common.

What's more.

if he is a little more diligent, he shouldn't practise divination to make a living.

I tell you.

He is not a common old man telling fortune.

He

It's our uncle, Yuan Tiangang, a talented teacher in Xuanji.

But this man is indifferent to fame and wealth and keep away from the officialdom.

So he opens a small stall and tells fortune.

It's said that anything he tells is very accurate.

He knows all the secrets.

So magical.

Then he must know we will find him today.

So he hides.

This old man may still sleep.

Is she laughing at me?

No, no.

She is teasing you.

Tell another story.

After the dragon king of Ching River was killed,

the ghost of him never takes a rest.

The ghost hated emperor for his breaking promises.

So he went to the imperial palace and desired to claim the emperor.

Not only the ghost of the dragon king went to claim,

but the monsters in the river can't give vent to their anger.

Please think for a while.

Their own king was killed by the emperor.

Who can leave the matter at that?

They not only ate the pedestrians passing by.

Even the Kongfu masters in the Highest Judiciary were killed.

Cast spells on people. Where did you get the news?

Dear listener, I'm just telling stories.

In the open day,

you dare cast spells on people.

Go back to the Highest Judiciary with me.

Official from the Highest Judiciary.

Why did he come here?

He is just a story-teller.

What are you doing?

Yes. He didn't identify someone by real name.

Yes. Who are you? Yes.

Go, go.

I see you three are in fine clothes.

You can't be the ordinary.

Who are you?

That doesn't matter.

What matters is who you are.

Folk rumors shouldn't be taken seriously.

Why are you so angry?

Sorry, we're too nervous.

Sorry.

Go.

Thank you very much

Even Xuanji Department didn't get the information.

How can a story-teller know the details?

I'm also curious.

But if we arrest him at once,

the rumor will become truth and spread further.

Right. Yunlong.

Yes, sir.

You come to take the story-teller back.

Yes, sir.

Wait. Take this with you.

Inform us if necessary.

What's this?

Cloud-breaking arrow. Very fast.

Why do you stop?

Stop, stop chasing me.

I, I, I'm just a story.

Again.

Only one of us will survive today.

I told you this guy is not bad.

Didn't you say it's very fast.

Illusion again,

Yes. The same as what appeared on Malingpo Slope that day.

General, eunuch Liu comes.

Invite him in.

Your Majesty, General Qin comes.

Qin Qiong visits Your Majesty.

General Qin, I heard that rumors spread in Chang'an.

The river monsters are rising in revolt. I'm very worried.

It just happened.

How did Your Majesty know the news so quickly?

General. I ask you to come here today.

Because I want to recommend a man to you.

The Taoist Master.

Miaohuan visits General Qin.

Master Miaohuan has wonderful foresight.

He not only cured my insomnia.

But also exactly foretold things about the river monsters.

Qin Qiong visits the Master.

General, Master has great magic power.

He is a real talent difficult to find.

I recommend him to you today.

Hope he can help you solve the case as soon as possible.

What do you think of that?

Thank you very much, Your Majesty.

Xuanji Department is really as what is said in rumor.

A magical place.

Thank you for your praise.

This way, please.

Is that the man we saw in the tea-room that day?

It's said that this Master is very skillful.

Recently he cured Your Majesty's nightmare.

So he was very popular these days.

He is not easy to deal with.

We must be careful.

Senior sister, we finally think in one mind.

But I still don't understand.

Even we can know there is something wrong with him.

Why did General Qin agree

and take him back to Xuanji Department?

Even you can know. How can't General?

Don't be afraid, just let him see.

He can't know our secrets by just hanging around.

There's still larger secret.

Yan Xiong.

The rumor of river monsters has risen panic.

Even the emperor was shocked.

I don't know whether Master has some brilliant ideas.

Nothing brilliant. But according to General.

River monsters should be rumors cooked up by someone.

Evil spirits are groundless statements.

Right. So I guess.

The illusion of river monsters is similar to the sorcery in Japan.

I'm afraid someone followed

The Japanese sorcery.

The dragon head kidnapping was even related to Japanese.

You fought with them in the bamboo forest that night.

Did you find anything special?

Their Kongfu was really different from that of the people in central plains.

That's the case.

If we want to know the truth, we must break the illusion first.

I don't know whether General has some excellent plans?

It seems we have to get the illusion-breaking bead from that old man.

Yan Xiong, go with me.

Yes, sir.

Master.

I am just wondering.

Is there any speed-up educational program?

If I learn this,

I can make much money performing in the streets.

Judging from your talents, maybe thirty to fifty.

Thirty to fifty days?

Even thirty or fifty years, you can't get started.

Your Lord, Ling head has successfully entered Xuanji Department.

And find the clues of illusion-breaking bead.

I think he will get it soon.

Take care.

Such an important thing. Yan Xiong comes alone.

It's too careless.

Or should he take you to make more troubles?

Don't mistake kindness as an intention.

I'm just worried that he can't make it by himself.

What if the illusion-breaking bead are kidnapped again?

So what should we do?

What about following him secretly?

We can take care of each other.

If only we take the bead back successfully,

General Qin won't blame us for our deserting posts.

If there's something wrong, I'll take the responsibility.

Come on. Let me in charge.

Where is him?

Take care. The fog seems to be strange.

Don't worry. Senior sister.

I'll protect you.

Take care.

See.

It seems to be the same group kidnapping the dragon head that night.

I'm worried about Yan Xiong's situation.

Even Kongfu master like me has been caught.

Shut up.

You have been caught.

You said you are resourceful.

Tell me what to do now.

Do you want a fight?

If you don't want to wait and see,

we should make a bet that Yan Xiong hasn't been arrested.

You mean

we can wait Yan Xiong to save us.

I mean, cloud-breaking arrow.

Right.

Wait for a while.

OK. Wait Yan Xiong to be caught later.

And then he can accompany us.

You.

I tell you.

If you have any inordinate ambition,

I'll kill you.

Be quiet, OK?

I'm saving our lives.

Can you be gentler?

Hurry up, hurry up.

Go.

Fire.

Behave yourself.

Who?

Yan Xiong.

Go away.

No one can leave today.

General Qin condescends to visit his humble abode

I don't know why

Mr. Yuan, sorry, I really have something needing your help.

Oh, what is it?

Tell fortunes.

General also believe in fortune.

I want to know the fate of the dragon king of Ching River.

The dragon king has died. I can't tell.

What if there is someone who doesn't want him to die?

I know you will come to ask.

This is fate.

Why are you here?

It's all because of Yunlong.

I worried about you. So we followed.

You see, we guess it.

Guess what?

If Yan Xiong doesn't come,

others should worry about us.

Why don't you say it's me putting forward the idea?

You dare to mention cloud-breaking arrows?

Go.

The place where the hidden masters live is really different.

Such a remote place.

Yuchi Gong is called black-face killer.

He was a rough guy, not sticking to trifles.

So he was punished to practice Taoism here.

We want to find General Yuchi.

You know him.

We, we are from the Highest Judiciary. Everyone knows him.

Is General Yuchi here?

Who are you?

What do you want to do?

Small attendant, we are from the imperial court.

We have something important to talk with General Yuchi.

Could you help us to inform?

No, he hasn't finished his last transcription of The Book of Songs.

He can't meet you.

Little boy.

We have important thing.

If it is delayed, I will spank you.

I have the gold token granted by the emperor.

I can transfer Yuchi Jingde and then make all known to the emperor.

You dare to spank me.

This little boy, I see you have great talents.

You must be of tremendous promise.

What's your name?

I'm not familiar with you.

It doesn't matter.

Let's wait here.

I finally finished.

Know is know, know not know.

Vulgar in speech.

One more day for restriction.

It can't be counted.

When there are other people,

please give me some respect.

Louder. I didn't hear clearly.

When there are other people,

please give me some respect.

Your Excellency.

Since you have something important to discuss.

I won't interfere.

Thanks a lot.

It's great to have friends coming from afar.

Yan Xiong from Xuanji Department.

What a grievance!

Yunlong, where do you go?

You've known each other before.

He once managed the Highest Judiciary.

What are you murmuring?

Nothing, nothing.

I'm afraid disturbing the General.

I have something important to talk with Yunlong.

I don't know whether you can leave us alone.

Thank you. That way please.

How did you get along with those two night owls?

Pay attention to your manner.

Say.

Is the old fox Qin Qiong

interfere with our affairs?

It's a long story to tell.

General Qin

assigned us to borrow something from you.

Borrow things from me?

Only you guys come.

He looks down on me.

General, it's misunderstanding.

Forced by the current situation,

General Qin must guard in Chang'an.

Nonsense.

No matter what he wants, come on his own.

You, get away.

So I go now.

Get back.

Don't you know why I am here?

Qin Qiong restrained me.

Wasn't it great?

What are you murmuring again?

Did I let you sit down?

We are just investigating together.

Investigate what?

Do our Highest Judiciary need their help?

Tell me, where is old Cui?

Why didn't he come to see me?

Mr. Cui.

Died.

Tell me, what's happened?

Did you get?

Go.

Yan Xiong.

Why do you take us here?

General Qin lets us wait for him here.

He will meet with us later.

Show me the illusion-breaking bead.

Just a bead. Nothing special.

It's you.

I know there's something wrong with you.

It's too late.

Qin Qiong.

Master Miaohuan, we met again.

You are really exceptionally brave and resourceful.

But it doesn't matter.

I have got it.

Exchange.

Just a rubbish. You can keep it.

Dare to cheat me.

How dare you?

Please calm down, Brother Yuchi.

And also you, Qin Shubao.

You old bastard.

If it hadn't been for your advice, the emperor

would have let me cultivate myself here.

how can I suffer this injustice?

Now, you trick me again.

How dare I?

If it is not because of the Highest Judiciary,

how dare I trouble you?

To tell the truth,

I'm just helping others pass on the message.

Ah.

What surprises you?

You bastard.

You are cheated. And you still involve me.

What a shame!

It's none of my business.

Get out of here.

It seems that we know each other well.

Know what?

The bead has been stolen. It has been stolen.

Know what?

Laugh. How can you laugh?

General, you look down on me.

General Qin, I have something to talk with you.

You say.

There must be something wrong with Master Miaohuan.

The smell on him is the same as

that on the people who kidnapped the dragon head.

Though it is very weak,

I'm sure it's the same.

You're right.

There must be something wrong with him.

But the emperor relies on him a lot.

With irrefutable evidence,

we can't declare him guilty.

Deserve to be official in our Highest Judiciary.

Where he belongs to is still unknown.

What do you mean?

You want to poach my people.

Brother Yuchu.

The dragon head affair

is related to the safety and security of our Tang Dynasty.

I hope you can neglect what has happened before.

And give me a hand.

You seek my help.

Great.

I hate your scholars talking too much.

All these nonsense.

Just do it.

OK.

General.

We don't know where Yan Xiong is.

Take away.

We want to go out.

Give me a chance.

Let me out.

Your Lord, it should be fake.

Rubbish.

Take him here.

Go.

Finally meet you.

Why? You desire to see me.

Our General Qin asked me to greet you.

Where is the illusion-breaking bead?

Where is it? I don't know.

But if you hold your hands for capture,

our General Qin will give you a way out.

Do you think you can leave here alive?

I want to try.

Yan Xiong, we're coming.

Yuwen Chengdu, you still haven't given up your gangster designs.

Qin Qiong, no, I should call you General Qin.

You should find this place.

It seems you are as strong as your old self.

But anyone of you can leave here today.

I will seize my father's country back.

Your father has already turned into ashes.

What are you doing here?

Whip to death.

Illusion-breaking bead.

It's time for my revenge.

The mistake-making dragon will resurrect.

So that's it.

Retreat.

Go, go, go.

Yan Xiong.

Go.

Yan Xiong. Yan Xiong.

Your Lord, are you OK?

Rubbish.

Old Qin, are you OK?

Damn it.

Why is this old man still so strong?

Stop talking.

He will be more difficult to deal with if he has the dragon help him.

Feifeng, Yunlong, go back to Xuanji Department and transfer people.

Brother Yuchi, you go with me to protect the emperor.

OK.

Yan Xiong will not die for nothing.

Your Majesty, two Generals come.

Your Majesty.

Long time no see. Yuchi Gong.

General Qin, what happened?

Your Majesty, I have figured out the whole story of dragon head case.

Please look at it.

What do you mean?

Are there still rebels alive?

Yes.

It's Yuwen Chengdu, the one who calls himself General Tianbao.

Yuwen Chengdu.

I will send armies to suppress him immediately.

No.

Yuwen Chengdu is nothing to scare.

But he has resurrected the mistake-making dragon.

With the help of the mistake-making dragon,

we may lose for lack of soldiers.

The mistake-making dragon.

Are you OK?

I'm OK.

Why is it dark?

Go.

They're coming.

Damn it.

He does make a large scale.

Your Majesty.

Yuchi and I have been through battlefields for many years. We have ferocious aura.

These evil things will not hurt us for a while.

Please summon the Prime Minister immediately.

OK. Hurry, hurry up.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Yuwen Chengdu.

Qin Qiong, Yuchi, surprise.

I'll definitely win you.

Oh, no. It's the dragon vein.

The dragon vein.

Right.

Qin Qing still thinks I only want to kill the emperor.

But he doesn't know as long as I ruin the dragon vein of the Tang Dynasty.

The royal family will decay.

It's not a big deal to overturn the dynasty.

This is the secret Yan Xiong said.

Yes.

The most important mission of our imperial guardians is to

Is guarding the Xuanji instrument connecting

the Dragon veins of the Great Tang Dynasty

Yes, if only I destroy it,

the Tang Dynasty will definitely decay.

Don't be too confident.

Give me your life.

Let Li Shiming see me.

How dare you monster!

Call Your Majesty by his name.

You should die for your mistake.

It's your fault coming to the imperial court.

I warn you not to go entangled.

Anyone who stops me must die.

Go to the hell.

Old Qin, why haven't the old Prime Minister arrived?

Cloud-breaking arrow.

What?

Oops. We are taken in.

The reason why Yuwen Chengdu assigned man to Xuanji Department is

not for the emperor,

but for the dragon vein of the Tang Dynasty.

Everything makes sense.

What should we do?

One side is the emperor and the other is the dragon vein.

I'm so worried.

Please calm down.

Prime Minister.

Prime Minister Wei.

What do you mean? Is that OK?

Xuanji Department is of great importance.

You should go there immediately.

Let me deal with it.

Thank you, Prime Minister.

Sinful dragon, turn from your evil ways.

Overconfident man.

Since you are so loyal,

I will invite you to see

how the country is ruined in my hand.

Feifeng, Feifeng, Feifeng, Feifeng.

Hurry, hurry up to save Yunlong.

Old man.

Sell the dummy to me.

It seems that sinful dragon is also a rubbish.

But it's a pity.

You're late.

I don't think so.

Sinful dragon, stop committing more crimes.

You have made mistakes.

Now you not only refuse to repent.

But also aid an evildoer to do evil.

Will you act arbitrarily

and damn yourself to the hell eternally?

What is aiding a evildoer to do evil?

Li Shiming broke his promise and caused me to die.

Didn't he make mistakes?

You have broken the rules of heaven. How can the emperor save you?

But you, the dragon king of Ching River

is cheated by the one who resurrected you.

Resurrect.

Half an hour later, Xuanji Instrument will reverse.

And the dragon vein of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be destroyed.

At that time, even the blood of the emperor

won't help the situation.

I will let you see by your own eyes.

How is this country ruined?

Was the affair of dragon king of Ching River also designed by you?

Yes.

How can it be?

This gentleman.

What are you worried for?

I'm wondering, how can a fortune-teller

exactly know the time of rain?

It shouldn't be.

Arranging the rain and cloud is the thing of the dragon king.

A fortune-teller's words are doubtful.

What's more, even if he can exactly foretell.

If the dragon king just made a small change in time and amount,

how can others know?

It's none of your business. Why are you so worried?

I have waited for a long time.

Just wait for today.

A small dragon king is nothing to mention.

Wait for the punishment from the heaven.

There is only one chance. Either lose or win. I don't care about the punishment.

You dare to cheat me.

I can let you live.

And I can also kill you.

Rubbish.

Surprise. Your Lord.

You didn't expect you would die in the hand of a rubbish.

You died.

But how will the Xuanji instrument be?

Can it be repaired?

Let me have a try.

This case is due to me.

The dragon king repented. It's a good deed.

I will order three thousand monks to release his soul from purgatory.

And also pray for the blessings of our Tang Dynasty.

Your Majesty is indeed wise.

Qin Qiong, Yuchi, listen.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Yuchi restores to the original post.

You two Generals have really worked hard and performed a valuable service.

Hope you two can protect our Tang Dynasty.

Peaceful and secure.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Long live the emperor!

All the creatures in the world are suffering.

Good!
