Episode 08

26

Let me show you now

27

the sword awarded by Emperor Gaozu.

28

Show it! Show to us!

29

What' re you waiting for?

30

Are you kidding? Get off the stage!

31

My sword!

32

How come?

33

Here you are.

34

It must be the masked woman who...

35

How dare you play tricks here in Luotian Cave?

36

Guards!

37

Take her!

38

- Yes!

- Yes!

39

I...

40

Let go of me!

41

Keep walking.

42

Infanta, as to those two,

43

and that Master Yuanning,

44

should we kill them all?

45

No.

46

I'm still waiting for someone.

47

Now go and tell that man in prison

48

that it's all set.

49

Okay.

50

Lanzhi,

51

the lives in the Imperial Household Department

52

are all in your hand.

53

The scar shows clearly that

54

he was attacked without any notice.

55

There was more than one person who had been to the crime scene.

56

And the killer

57

is not the one you arrested.

58

The day after tomorrow is the Empress' birthday,

59

yet I still don't know where the painting is.

60

What should I do?

61

Sir,

62

Zhou Lixian has confessed.

63

Wait wait wait!

64

I'll tell you everything!

65

Please don't torture me!

66

Now, all the treasures,

67

how did you dispose of them?

68

Luotian Cave.

69

Lie to me, and I'll make you wish you were dead.

70

Sir,

71

I'm afraid that you don't have the guts to go there.

72

Take my warning that

73

no matter how good your Kongfu is, and

74

how carefully you act,

75

you might going for your death there.

76

And you may not even be able to find where it is.

77

With a veteran like you being my guide,

78

how could I fail to find it?

79

Do remember that

80

it'll be the perfect chance to atone for your crime.

81

Infanta, he is here.

82

Good, now do it.

83

Yes.

84

Sir,

85

this pool is the entrance to Luotian Cave.

86

All we need to do now is to wait here.

87

Don't worry. I'm a frequenter.

88

Just let me send a message,

89

and they'll come to pick us up.

90

Sir, here they are.

91

Zhou,

92

what do you have today?

93

Nothing same as before.

94

It is lives that I'm selling today.

95

Xiaohu, take the wounded back!

96

Should I not be back this time tomorrow,

97

besiege Luotian Cave and crack down them!

98

Yes Sir!

99

How dare you ambush us?

100

Sir, look around you.

101

Hard to believe, isn't it?

102

My life is worthless,

103

but pity that you should die with me today.

104

Zhao Sir, he is nobody,

105

who doesn't deserve your time.

106

Come over and talk with me.

107

Sir, I've always admired those who are able.

108

To tell you the truth,

109

this pool of Luotian Cave

110

has successfully intercepted loads of intruders.

111

Since you've made through it alive,

112

you're a guest of mine.

113

Tell me, what do you come for?

114

Just hanging around.

115

Hanging around? Then I'm sorry that I can't help you.

116

I'm here for a painting.

117

Now we're talking.

118

The painting you're looking for,

119

may I guess,

120

is it about a man and woman reading under a basjoo tree?

121

It's the royal property. Now return it.

122

I don't care about royal property.

123

In this place,

124

there' s only property either on sale or being sold.

125

There's an auction tonight.

126

Why don't you cross the bridge when coming to it?

127

But whether to find the painting or not

128

is totally up to you,

129

to your competence.

130

Please.

131

Bravo! Bravo!

132

Bravo!

133

That's beautiful!

134

So Gorgeous!

135

That is all?

136

Where's the performance?

137

You said there would be a performance! Where is it?

138

Everyone, calm down.

139

For the grand finale,

140

we must wait for a grand figure.

141

Let me present you Head Constable of Luoyang county,

142

Zhao Lanzhi, Zhao Sir.

143

I've heard of him.

144

He's solved many big cases, a hard character.

145

Yeah, just not long before,

146

I heard that he solved the Qianduan Brothel Case.

147

So he did!

148

Zhao Sir here,

149

is a big hero out and out.

150

Today I'm having him to give you a performance.

151

Now, bring them onto stage.

152

Hurry! Move!

153

Hurry!

154

Zhao Sir, this is your sword.

155

What are you doing?

156

Those three people are grave robbers who

157

act against the law and commit various crimes.

158

Zhao Sir,

159

you're a man of integrity who resents the evil,

160

thus I hope you can uphold the justice for the folks

161

by killing them.

162

I don't think it is against your principle.

163

Plus,

164

do it quickly, have them beheaded,

165

the royal painting will be returned to you, here and now.

166

I promise.

167

So it is you.

168

What' re you doing here?

169

I came to my brother's rescue, but got trapped by them.

170

Sir,

171

you've had your chance and missed it.

172

Everyone, don't be disappointed.

173

Since Zhao Sir refuses to perform for us,

174

we'll make him a tool for our performance.

175

It's almost dawn,

176

so how about me performing drowning people in the pool for you?

177

Okay! Good!

178

Sister, I thought you were here to get me out.

179

How come that we're gonna die here together?

180

Had you not owed money here,

181

I'd never be trapped like this!

182

It's the painting that I'm after.

183

There's no need harming others.

184

Mr. Xue, there's something you don't know.

185

Zhao Sir over there is also looking for it.

186

There' re only two options if targeted by him,

187

either kill him,

188

or killed by him.

189

I don't want to kill Boren,

190

but he dies because of me.

191

Well, where's the painting?

192

Here it is.

193

The beloved Painting of Basjoo Tree of the Empress.

194

But how do you know it?

195

Is there any history between you and her?

196

You did get me the painting,

197

but I still can't give you the Divine Bead.

198

What do you mean?

199

Put it back,

200

back to the Empress.

201

Or?

202

Or you will never have the Divine Bead.

203

What if I must have it now?

204

Infanta Minghui,

205

do you know where it is without information from me?

206

You think this is fun?

207

They say never relax vigilance against evildoers.

208

I've early known your plan,

209

so there's nothing you can do to corner me.

210

Wait!

211

I'm on it.

212

Prepare the Divine Bead.

213

Take my word,

214

you shall pay for it.

215

So arrogant and ignorant!

216

Try to break from the refined iron cage barehanded?

217

Come on!

218

Zhao Lanzhi!

219

Lower it now!

220

Hurry!

221

What' s happening? Who's this?

222

Infanta, they' re gone.

223

Go and get Zhao Lanzhi out!

224

I want him alive!

225

Sorry but I can't do it.

226

Hurry back.

227

I'll go to save Zhao.

228

No, you'll have yourself killed.

229

Now we finally made it out,

230

I say we just play safe and go home.

231

He saved us back there!

232

How can we leave him behind?

233

So I'm left alone again!

234

Wait for me!

235

Wake up!

236

- Young Master.

- Master.

237

Young Master, what happened?

238

- Young Master!

- Please wait for us.

239

Slow down, young Master.

240

Is everything OK, young Master? Please talk to us.

241

Young Master. What happened?

242

Is everything Okay?

243

- Miss!

- What on earth happened?

244

- Who did it to you?

- How's Miss?

245

She passed out.

246

Miss!

247

- Come and help!

- Miss!

248

Yes, Madam.

249

- Easy, young Master.

- Miss!

250

Xia, what' re you doing here?

251

Go and find the doctor!

252

Master!

253

Master!

254

Hurry!

255

Please hurry!

256

What happened to you two?

257

Help her!

258

You seem in a worse state than her.

259

I'm fine. Please help her!

260

Take it.

261

Move away.

262

Ouch!

263

Easy!

264

Talk to me. What happened to you?

265

Mom, let it go.

266

It really hurts.

267

Madam, please rest assured.

268

Mr. Ye suffered only cuts and bruises.

269

Some drug application and rest will help you.

270

Okay, I get it. Thanks, doctor.

271

Then I won't keep you.

272

Now tell me the truth. What happened?

273

I...

274

I don't know where to begin.

275

Fine, so you won't tell me?

276

I'll get your father. Then you'll tell.

277

No! Please don't tell father!

278

I was in debt,

279

and almost got killed. It was sister who...

280

Okay, cut it there.

281

I get it.

282

It was your sister who

283

resented your standing up to her,

284

and hired hooligans to bully you.

285

Don't worry. I'm telling your father now.

286

He'll do justice to you.

287

No no no, you're wrong!

288

Calm down. I know that you are still in shock.

289

Just have a rest, a good rest.

290

Come and sit down.

291

Sit down, easy.

292

No.

293

It wasn't sister' s fault.

294

Mr. Zhao,

295

you were bitten by the monster fish.

296

Please lie still.

297

What's this place?

298

It's my home, which is close to Luotian Cave.

299

So you' re still in Jinyun Mountain.

300

I've had a scar on my face from a fire since a girl,

301

so I have to wear this veil.

302

Please excuse me.

303

Yesterday, it was you

304

who saved me from the pool of monster fishes.

305

I'm much obliged. Please accept my gratitude.

306

Mr. Zhao, you're being too polite.

307

Saving a life is better than building a seven- storied pagoda.

308

What's more, I was also at Luotian Cave yesterday.

309

Seeing that man asked you to kill to save yourself,

310

and you turned it down,

311

I was deeply impressed.

312

You were at Luotian Cave yesterday?

313

I was.

314

Mr. Zhao must be wondering now

315

who I am,

316

why I was at Luotian Cave,

317

why I saved you.

318

Truth to be told, I'm a frequenter of Luotian Cave.

319

And I often go there for treasures.

320

People there dig up others' graves, disturb the deceased,

321

and they deal in stolen goods.

322

So Mr. Zhao must be thinking that a girl like me,

323

who knows that they're no decent men,

324

still frequents there instead of turning them in.

325

Then I must be no decent myself.

326

You're very smart. Then I believe that

327

even if I don't tell you my thoughts now,

328

you already know them.

329

Mr. Zhao, do you believe in destiny?

330

Like the treasure's destiny to meet its master,

331

and our destiny to meet each other.

332

I believe that many things are destined to happen.

333

You're so smart and eloquent. I don't know how to argue with you.

334

May I know what you were looking for at Luotian Cave yesterday?

335

A painting.

336

A beloved painting of the Empress.

337

It's called Painting of Basjoo Tree.

338

I'm confident to get it,

339

when it is auctioned today.

340

May I ask why do you have to get it?

341

There's some information I'm not allowed to share,

342

so please drop it.

343

I'm sorry.

344

But I do have a favor to ask.

345

And I do hope you could help me.

346

I'll see what I can do.

347

Please help me get back to Luotian Cave.

348

You narrowly escaped from there.

349

Why do you want to get back?

350

Every man has his responsibility.

351

Mine right now is to get back.

352

If you'll be so kind to help me.

353

Please have a rest first.

354

Then you have to change your clothes before leaving.

355

Thank you.

356

It has been a long time.

357

Why is she still unconscious?

358

It's easy to wake her.

359

Come and drink the wine,

360

and I'll wake her up.

361

Get out of the way.

362

Now she's awake.

363

Zhao Lanzhi! Zhao Lanzhi!

364

Zhao Lanzhi.

365

You're home now.

366

Your horse boy carried you back.

367

Your wound is not serious,

368

all you need is a little rest.

369

Where' re you going?

370

Back to Luotian Cave to help Zhao Lanzhi.

371

You were lucky to come back alive.

372

Now you want to go back? Are you out of your mind?

373

In order to help me,

374

Zhao Lanzhi got himself sunk into the cold and deep pool.

375

No matter what,

376

I'll get him out of there.

377

You said it yourself that it's a deep pool,

378

so he might be dead already.

379

Even though there's just a bone left,

380

I would get the bone back!

381

I won't let him die for nothing.

382

I'll revenge him. Move!

383

Revenge him?

384

Look at yourself.

385

How do you revenge him?

386

All bark and no bite.

387

You must have some ideas, right?

388

Now you want my help?

389

You seemed to enjoy tricking me the other day.

390

I can help you.

391

Only if...

392

if you kneel down and beg me.

393

Get away!

394

You are also with her!

395

Fine, fine. Get up.

396

We've known each other for a long time.

397

You can't even tell that I was joking?

398

Get up!

399

Now tell me about them.

400

Who are those people that did this to you?

401

And where are they now?

402

Jiang Ren,

403

the man who killed you is right here,

404

yet I can't kill him for the sake of the Divine Bead.

405

I can't revenge you on him.

406

I feel so bad...

407

so bad.

408

So it's a cave in a mountain.

409

It can't be simpler.

410

Had you told me earlier,

411

you wouldn't end up like this.

412

What's your plan?

413

Idiot! The fire!

414

It's a cave,

415

so you just need to block the entrance and exit.

416

Then set a big fire,

417

a really big fire.

418

And if you want to kill them,

419

wait at the exit,

420

then kill those who flee there.

421

If you don't,

422

you can still watch

423

them jumping into the pool.

424

That must be a huge scene.

425

You're a genius.

426

Um...as for the kerosene and sulfur,

427

I have much here.

428

I'll get them ready for you now.

429

Why did you stop me?

430

I didn't want to see you risk your life.

431

Then why did you change your mind and kneel down with me?

432

I'll go with you if you must go back.

433

I'll follow your order.

434

Okay then. Follow my order

435

and don't go with me.

436

Just stay at home.

437

No.

438

You were wounded.

439

It doesn't hurt.

440

This...

441

Shushu.

442

Coming coming.

443

Here, here. Take them.

444

Three bags for each.

445

Explosives and kerosene.

446

Spread them wherever you go.

447

Go and spread, do remember.

448

There' re two masks over there.

449

Do put on them when you set the fire.

450

One for one, one...

451

Since when do you have such amazing medicines?

452

You got me.

453

You're healed already?

454

All healed.

455

Brat, you're amazing.

456

Stay and let me do some research on you.

457

- Stay!

- Yuan' an!

458

Let's go!

459

This...

460

Let...let me have a look before you go!

461

So fast? Wait!

462

There's one more.

463

With this,

464

no cliff can ever stop you.

465

Take it.

466

I'll buy you chicken legs when we're back.

467

When you're back alive.

468

Bite your tongue.

469

Let's go.

470

Stop now!

471

Yuan' an, where' re you heading to?

472

With this slave!

473

Yuanning is bruised all over,

474

and crying.

475

Be honest with me,

476

did you bully him again?

477

After all, he' s your little brother.

478

Why can't you be kind to him?

479

Are you listening?

480

I've nothing to do with Yuanning' s wounds.

481

You've always been teaching me

482

that we should be grateful.

483

Now a man has save my life

484

at the cost of his own,

485

Shouldn't I find his body and revenge him?

486

He died?

487

I'll explain later.

488

Let's go. Go!

489

Hurry!

490

Stop! You!

491

Stop!

492

Hurry up!

493

Hurry! All of you!

494

Here.

495

Move!

496

Chop chop!

497

Hurry!

498

Eunuch, we still haven't heard from Zhao Sir.

499

The Empress' birthday will be celebrated tonight.

500

If we don't have the painting back then...

501

If we don't get back the painting,

502

then we will be doomed.

503

Got it?

504

Yes.

505

Get out of my way.

506

Drink?

507

I thought that all heroes can drink.

508

I'm not a hero.

509

A drink is normally fine, but sometimes it messes up one's mind.

510

When I get the painting,

511

I will drink a toast to you.

512

Everyone!

513

The Painting of Basjoo Tree we're about to auction

514

is the beloved work of the Empress.

515

According to servants in the palace,

516

the Empress would often stare at it,

517

and just can't have it out of her eyesight.

518

Now you know how valuable it is?

519

Now, let's begin our auction.

520

We'll start from 300 taels of gold.

521

350!

522

350!

523

400!

524

400! Any one higher?

525

500 taels of gold!

526

500!

527

1000 taels of gold.

528

1000?

529

Congratulations!

530

Are you done? Now my turn!

531

What's happening?

532

Go and check it!

533

Go go go! Hurry!

534

Let's get out of here!

535

Go!

536

Yuan' an!

537

You're alive!

538

What're you doing with her?

539

She stole my sword

540

and almost sent me to the hell.

541

It was she who

542

saved me from the monster fish pool.

543

I assure you, she's not a good person!

544

It's impossible!

545

How did he get so strong?

546

We can't stay here any longer.

547

It's been spilled with kerosene and sulfur. Let's leave.

548

Come.

549

Hurry!

550

Take it.

551

Follow us.

552

Come on.

553

Give me the painting.

554

It belongs to the Empress.

555

So I will see to it that it returns to her.

556

Zhao Lanzhi! Do remember that you owe me one!

557

Zhao Lanzhi!

558

You're all well.

559

It happened so quickly.

560

I also thought that I can't make it then.

561

But that veiled maiden saved me.

562

Don't you mention her to me!

563

It was her who stole my stuff.

564

And got me killed. Where's she?

565

She's gone.

566

Trust me, she's gone because of guilt.

567

She must be hiding something.

568

Leave her alone.

569

By the way, you've already made it out,

570

why did you coming back?

571

Of course for you!

♫ Tired off and lights out, it's about to dawn. ♫

573

♫ I never speak out my love sickness. ♫

574

♫ In my dream, we are falling into sweet love. ♫

575

♫ Everyone wants a lifelong lover, ♫

576

♫ but the passion fades away with time. ♫

577

♫ I'm stubborn and you're reluctant. ♫

578

♫ Antagonistic love is so absurd. ♫

579

♫ We can't be reconciled to the past. ♫

580

♫ What sweet time we have, ♫

581

♫ but only pity stays as time goes by. ♫

582

♫ I lead a wandering life in the world, ♫

583

♫ pursuing the traces left by you. ♫

584

♫ I hope to get acquaintance with you. ♫

585

♫ Recalling the previous love and hatred with you, ♫

586

♫ I think we live a worthwhile life. ♫

587

♫ What sweet time we have, ♫

588

♫ but only pity stays as time goes by. ♫

589

♫ What sweet time we have, ♫

590

♫ but only pity stays as time goes by. ♫
