The Hairpin of the Rogue (2023) Movie Script
Sister.
Mother, it's Wushu.
Mother.
It's me.
Yin Yin, are you okay?
They're coming! Let's run!
Let's go!
[The Hairpin of the Rogue]
As the old saying goes,
A true hero
serves the country and the people.
Is this a hero?
No, it's not.
What is a hero?
What is it?
A hero is a spirit,
A spirit of indomitable will,
A conduct of standing up for justice
and sacrificing oneself to help others.
That eccentric hero of Yue Du, Ning Wushu,
Once said a famous saying,
Do you know it?
I don't know.
Heroism,
is the blood and justice that runs in our veins.
Wushu, catch me!
Well done!
You're the first man who dares to touch me.
Miss.
Your veil.
Is it really you?
My little Shushu.
Is it really you?
I think of you every day, every night,
every hour, every minute, every second.
My little Shushu, whom I think of day and night.
Kongkong, save me.
Miss has fallen ill again.
Quickly take Miss back.
This veil is hers.
Give it to her.
What for?
Men, chase after him.
Chase? What for?
Chase after him!
Quickly!
Chase him!
Wushu.
You can see the difference between people.
If it weren't for me
your innocence would be lost.
I told you not to invent those useless things.
Ouch.
You've grown wings now, haven't you?
You eat, drink, and live in my place.
Now you dare to talk back to me?
I've told you so many times.
There are always people better than you.
Sure.
Are you a bull?
Hurry, hurry.
Whoa.
What a grand procession.
Hey,
waiter.
Who are these people?
You don't know, sirs?
That is Prince Jia Lu Tu of Jiaye Kingdom.
Isn't this the Hairpin Flower Festival?
Is the emperor choosing a consort for the princess?
Look at all those trunks and boxes.
Tsk, tsk.
Hey, sirs, take your time.
Hey.
We're making a killing today.
Wushu.
You've grown up.
That.
Wow.
What's the point being like a rough man?
This?
Haven't you always wanted to be the best in the world?
If you can, in front of everyone
obtain this prince's personal treasure.
Wouldn't you be very popular?
Let's do it.
Let's go.
Good.
Who is this?
Who else could it be?
This must be Prince Jia Lu Tu from the Jiaye Kingdom.
I heard that
he has coveted the position of
Imperial Son-in-law for a long time.
He would rather give up his position as a prince
and travel thousands of miles to become
a son-in-law of our Yuenu Kingdom.
I heard that this prince is not
well-received in his own country.
He is not even qualified to enter their capital city.
Are you serious?
No wonder he clings to our princess.
Good.
Who is it?
How dare you disrupt the prince's procession?
Capture him!
Kill this lowly commoner.
Wushu.
She's so manly.
I'll do it.
Wow, we're rich!
Empty.
Let's go, Wushu.
Ah Man.
Quickly get the token back!
Today is our lucky day.
Oops.
It's just a bit heavy.
Oops.
Hey, hey.
I knew you were hiding it.
Hey, uncle.
It's hot today.
This silver.
Take it.
Go back and rest early
I can't take it.
Uncles.
This silver
is it enough to buy this cart?
It's enough.
The cart is ours.
Thank you, hero.
Let's go.
Hey.
Won't I get tired even more?
Your health isn't good.
You should exercise more.
I should have you practice qinggong.
Come on, come on.
There's enough for everyone.
It's the masked hero Ning Wushu.
Don't fight, don't fight.
There's enough for everyone.
Thank you, hero.
You're welcome.
The pursuers are here!
Hurry, hurry.
Run, run.
Make way, make way.
Run, run!
Catch!
How do I use it?
Fire!
Fire!
Can I borrow a light?
Thanks!
Hurry, Wushu!
Run, run!
She's still chasing us!
She's going to catch up!
I'm out of energy!
Let me help you.
Kongkong, hurry!
Make way, make way!
Ah!
Wow!
I'll go ahead.
How could you be so heartless?
Run!
Wow!
You're really fit.
Do you work out regularly?
Hey, wait a minute.
You look down on me, don't you?
Flying God's Palm.
Here you go.
Sorry, sorry.
I was too abrupt, brother.
We're all men.
It was just a kiss.
Why did you hit me so hard?
Shut up.
You lecher.
You.
You guys go search over there.
Why did you throw yourself at me?
I'm not interested in men.
It was just an accident.
If you want to live, shut up.
Mind your own business.
Finding the princess is more important.
Let's go.
My Prince.
They're in cahoots.
Capture them.
How dare you!
I have no grudge against you.
What right do you have to arrest me?
I'm not in cahoots with him.
Cut the crap.
Let's go.
Hey, swords have no eyes.
Be careful.
Your Majesty, your humble servant greets you.
Have you found the princess?
Half an hour ago,
we found traces of the princess in the East Market.
But then we lost her.
Before the Hairpin Flower Festival begins,
we must find the princess.
I will obey your orders.
Do you have anything else to say?
The prince of Jiaye has entered the city today.
This subject has already arranged
for him to stay at a separate residence.
The prince has come this time
to propose marriage to the princess.
Jia Lu Tu?
What qualifications does he have to marry the princess?
Although he has lost power,
he possesses something that His Majesty has always desired.
A secret technique.
A secret technique.
Has Your Majesty forgotten?
Prime Minister, what do you mean by this?
Are you questioning me?
This subject does not dare.
If there is nothing else,
this subject will take his leave.
I heard that this Hairpin Flower Festival
is being personally organized by Your Majesty.
It will surely be very exciting.
Someone!
Let me out!
Hey.
Look at how cowardly you are
you don't look like a man at all.
Shut up!
Ning Wushu.
I...
I...
I order you,
immediately get rid of these rats right now!
Clean them up.
Hey.
Are you really scared?
Yes.
Good.
It's gone.
Wow!
It's gone.
This powder of yours...
is effective.
It's just insect repellent.
What are you looking at?
Am I that good-looking?
Don't be so narcissistic.
I'm
just looking at
this famous weirdo Ning Wushu.
He's not as good as they say.
He was captured so easily.
Hmph.
He's a far cry from the legends.
They're completely different.
Joke.
How could this tiny cell possibly hold me?
I got myself arrested on purpose.
But you, my friend,
why did you follow me in here?
Could it be that you
really do have a thing for men?
You're shameless.
Hey,
are you serious?
Get back.
Stand up straight.
Don't dodge.
If I don't dodge, do you expect
me to get beaten up for nothing.
If you keep this up, I'm going to fight back.
Have you seen enough?
Oh...
I...
Let go of me!
Oh...
Ouch!
I'm sorry!
I didn't mean to.
I...
Let go of me!
Oh!
Erm.
I didn't know you were a woman before.
I apologize for any offense.
Idiot.
There's a lot you don't know.
My identity will scare you to death if I tell you.
What other identity do you have?
Are you perhaps
a hermaphrodite?
How dare you!
I am Princess Yueli.
When I get out of here,
I will definitely behead you, you shameless person.
So you're a princess.
You people of power,
you don't care about human life.
I hate
people like you the most.
Impudent!
I hate people like you the most.
Hey!
Don't walk so fast.
Wait for me.
You're so timid.
Why are you following me?
I can go wherever I want.
Is it any of your business?
I'm telling you now,
if we encounter any danger
don't expect me to save you.
Hmph.
Do I need you to save me?
Get out of my way.
Ah!
I think I hear something over there.
Ah!
Ning Wushu!
Don't kill him!
He's just been poisoned. He can still be saved.
Let's go!
Hurry!
There's no way out!
I'll hold him off.
You find the mechanism.
Found it.
Ning Wushu.
Come quickly.
The stone door is open.
Go!
Go!
Ning Wushu!
Come out quickly!
The stone door is closing.
Ning Wushu.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
We shouldn't stay here for long.
Let's leave first.
Your Excellency.
Prince Jia Lu Tu has sent word
inviting you to meet him at his villa.
Did he mention what for?
No.
Hu Yun?
How did she get here?
Let's go.
My Prince.
The prime minister has arrived.
Prime Minister.
Long time no see.
Still as radiant as ever.
How are things progressing.
Don't be anxious
I want to show you something.
Wait.
He's been to the dungeon.
This...
Rest assured that the mistakes of
fifteen years ago will not happen again.
Now we have finally succeeded.
Oh no!
Who's there?
Princess.
How did you get here?
Prime Minister.
You must save me.
This princess
was kidnapped by Ning Wushu.
Let me go at once.
Or I'll kill her.
Jia Lu Tu.
Quickly order your guards to stand down.
If the princess is harmed
you will bear the consequences.
If you release the princess.
I'll let you go.
You all, retreat to the corner.
Quickly.
Princess.
Are you hurt?
I'm fine.
No wonder I sent out guards
to search the whole city and couldn't find you.
You were actually kidnapped by Ning Wushu.
But...
why did he kidnap you
and appear here?
Sigh.
It's a long story.
However,
Prime Minister,
why are you here?
I am here
to specially invite Prince Jia Lu Tu
to attend the Hairpin Flower Festival tomorrow night.
Oh,
our Prince Jia Lu Tu
is so honored.
You even have our Prime Minister
personally come to invite you.
Your Highness is too kind.
My men
mistakenly captured Your Highness.
It was truly my fault
I beg Your Highness
to be lenient.
Since it was all a misunderstanding
Princess
please don't hold it against him.
His Majesty is still worried about your safety.
I...
will escort Your Highness back to the palace at once.
I have something else to attend to.
Your Highness.
Please.
Your Highness.
He got away.
Quickly go and check the prison.
[Stolen by the world best thief, Kongkong]
Please forgive me, Your Highness.
Go and check the prison quickly.
Find the antidote for me.
We're one step closer to success.
Why doesn't the flame ignite when it reaches the nozzle?
I clearly left a gap for you.
Don't say I didn't leave any.
What?
The gap was too big.
It caused the hot air to flow in opposite directions, right?
It's not your fault.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Let's modify it.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Come with me quickly.
Ning Wushu.
Where did you go, boy?
I...
Hey, hey, hey.
Don't fight.
They're chasing us.
Let's go.
Let's go, let's go.
Wait.
What's wrong?
I didn't bring the treasure bag.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Coming, coming!
Let's go!
Wait a minute!
What's wrong with you again?
You're walking too slowly!
Use this!
Are you thirsty?
I'll...
Calcium!
Oh, dear!
Blocking the sun!
I'll...
Stop playing!
What is this?
This...
Catch them!
Hey, Kongkong.
How do I use this?
Put it on quickly
I'll take you flying.
Run.
Quickly.
Light it.
Miao Kongkong, you really are a
very good teammate.
Thank you for your praise.
Who is it?
Sneak attack?
What kind of hero are you?
Spit.
Disgusting.
Spit, spit.
I'll spit in your face.
Why is it you again?
Are you in love with me?
If you love me, you can tell me
I can go to you.
Run!
Royal mother.
Your humble daughter greets you.
Rise.
What is this?
I seem to have.
Seen it somewhere.
You are becoming more and more unruly.
As a princess.
You have repeatedly defied the law
and left the palace without permission
I am very disappointed in you.
Royal mother.
I left the palace
to better understand the people
and show compassion.
Besides
I know.
Your Majesty is going to choose
a consort for me at the Hairpin Flower Festival.
But I really don't want to marry someone I don't love.
If you insists on forcing me
then I'd rather be a commoner.
As a princess of the royal family
you must take responsibility.
Marriage is a major event
and you have no say in it.
But I really don't want my marriage
to become a tool for maintaining power.
How dare you!
How dare you speak to me like that.
Your Majesty, please calm down
I spoke out of turn.
Forget it.
Rise.
Then tell me
what did you observe among the people?
I have indeed gained something.
That Prince Jia Lu Tu of the Jiaye Kingdom is wicked.
I saw with my own eyes that in his manor there is a...
The Prime Minister has arrived.
Your Majesty.
Your Highness.
Prime Minister.
Li'er.
We'll discuss your matter later
I will make my own decision.
You may leave now.
Remember.
Don't be so willful in the future.
Royal mother.
Leave.
Royal mother.
Prime Minister.
What brings you here?
I have come
to report to Your Majesty.
I have invited Prince Jia Lu Tu
to attend the Hairpin Flower Festival tomorrow night.
Prime Minister's hospitality
is truly thoughtful.
When did I ever agree
to let him attend the Hairpin Flower Festival?
I...
acted on my own authority.
It was also to prevent Your Majesty
from missing out on a grand feast.
It's getting late.
I...
will take my leave now.
That's right.
No wonder it looks familiar.
That jade pendant is the same as Ning Wushu's.
But why does she have the same jade pendant?
It's raining.
Put the things away.
It's raining.
Come back quickly.
I'll give you a steamed bun to eat.
Take it.
Go.
Go play over there.
Brother Wushu.
Hey, Kongkong.
You take this bag of steamed buns
and distribute them to the people behind.
Okay.
Who wants to come with me?
Me!
Let's go.
Let's go.
Here's one for you.
Thank you.
Here's one for you.
Thank you.
First, deliver the food to Lingling.
Who are you looking for, miss?
Brother.
Here.
Is there a brother here called Ning Wushu?
Brother Wushu
I'll take you to him.
This is Brother Wushu.
So you're really here.
Xiao Yi.
Here.
Thank you, Brother Wushu.
How did you know
I was here.
That's because I'm so clever, of course.
Don't you often help the poor?
I searched several poor districts before I found you.
Why did you leave the palace?
I came to ask you,
where did you get that jade pendant?
Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?
Because
I discovered that my mother
has one that is identical.
The Emperor?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Oh...
I just remembered
something that happened fifteen years ago.
Fifteen years ago.
Today, Jia Lu Tu also said
that the mistakes of fifteen
years ago will never happen again.
What does that mean?
Fifteen years ago,
the village where I grew up, Qingping Village
was hit by a plague.
I lost all my family and friends.
Qingping Village.
I remember now.
I once read the palace records.
Fifteen years ago,
over 130 people in Qingping Village
all died in a fire.
How can you say it was a plague?
Because I am the only survivor
of Qingping Village.
Fifteen years ago,
I witnessed it all with my own eyes.
This plague
was deliberately caused by someone.
Over all these years
have you found any clues?
Back then, I suffered a serious head injury
and lost some of my memories.
I only remember some fragments.
But today.
I saw the totem on Jia Lu Tu's back of his hand.
That totem
I saw it fifteen years ago.
So you got yourself captured on purpose
to investigate Jia Lu Tu.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
I brought up your sad memories.
It's okay.
Ning Wushu.
Why do you want to be a hero?
Because I can't stand those rich and powerful people
who are insatiable
and bully the weak.
So,
I give the people what they deserve.
And return it to them.
What I can do for them
is only these small things.
But you are different.
You are a princess.
What you can do for the people
is far more than me.
What's the point of being a princess?
I've been pampered since I was a child.
But I'm bound by all sorts of rules.
I have no freedom at all.
My royal mother said
as a princess,
I have my own responsibilities.
But now,
I can't even make my own decisions about my marriage.
If I could choose,
I'd rather be a commoner.
Or.
A hero who robs the rich to help the poor.
Your mother is strict with you
because she hopes you'll become independent soon.
After all, in the future
you will inherit the throne.
As the ruler of a country
the burden on your shoulders
is naturally much heavier than that of ordinary people.
You should understand her.
At least,
you still have the opportunity to show your filial piety.
Unlike me,
I don't even have the chance to see my loved ones.
Let's not talk about it.
Come.
Let's have a toast.
Wushu.
Madam Ning?
Go away!
Madam Miao?
Bear with him.
He has a bad temper.
Are you hungry?
Last night.
Drank too much.
Yesterday you
talked about the plague in Qingping Village.
What happened?
The person we saw in the secret passage yesterday
and that servant
their symptoms
are the same as the plague
symptoms in Qingping Village back then.
The poisoned
are confused and have great strength,
lose their senses,
hungry and bloodthirsty
and the closer the wound is to the heart
the faster the poison takes effect.
I'm more certain
that Jia Lu Tu
is related to the incident back then.
So.
This time, Jia Lu Tu came to Yue'nv Kingdom
with ulterior motives.
No.
I must return to the palace
immediately to deal with this matter.
What are your plans?
I want to go to the villa again
to investigate some things.
If you have any clues, notify me immediately.
Yes.
Madam Ning.
Are you leaving so soon?
Have some snacks.
Stop looking.
She's long gone.
Wushu.
The truth you've been searching for for fifteen years.
Is it finally coming to light?
I'm getting closer.
If I'm not mistaken.
The things they stole yesterday.
Should be the antidote for the plague.
Wow.
So many mosquitoes.
How did you sleep last night?
Your Highness.
How are the arrangements?
Everything has been arranged properly.
I have been waiting for this day
for fifteen years.
Tonight's Hairpin Flower Festival
must not have any mishaps.
Understood.
So his target is the Hairpin Flower Festival.
Let's go.
By the grace of Heaven.
His Majesty's decree states.
The Hairpin Flower Festival
is a grand event of our kingdom.
All citizens of our Yuenu kingdom
may enter the moon platform to watch the sky lanterns.
Regardless of rank or status,
everyone shall enjoy it together.
By imperial decree.
What is this smell?
It smells so good.
I deserve to die.
Forgive me, Princess.
All of you, step back.
You still dare to hide?
What's going on?
Shut up!
What clues do you have?
Jia Lu Tu is going to sabotage the Hairpin Flower Festival.
Is he going to use the poison
at the Hairpin Flower Festival?
Our top priority now is
to find the antidote first.
The antidote
is in the token he carries with him.
What are you doing?
Can I speak now?
Speak.
If you want to find the antidote,
you must be careful of that female guard.
I don't know how Jia Lu Tu's martial arts are,
but that female guard's martial arts are very formidable
and her stamina is particularly good.
Let me tell you,
she chases me as soon as she sees me.
She chases me as soon as she sees me.
She must have taken a fancy to me.
Otherwise, why would she chase me?
What are you planning to do?
Don't forget.
Palace is my territory.
I have a plan.
I have a great plan.
Why don't you allow me
to use my beauty to entice her?
Wushu.
Wushu.
The palace is huge.
Wushu, don't leave me behind.
The Hairpin Flower Festival begins!
Let them pass.
We've been expecting you.
Your Excellency, please.
Please.
The chests contain valuables.
Be careful.
The emperor has arrived.
Long live the emperor!
Rise, my ministers.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Take your seats.
Why is the princess not here?
Your Majesty.
The princess will be here shortly.
Alright.
Good.
Her Highness the Princess has arrived.
Your humble subject greets the emperor.
Rise.
Take a seat.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty,
on this grand occasion
I have prepared a performance
to add to the festivities.
I request Your Majesty
to grant me permission to perform.
It is rare for Li'er to be so thoughtful.
Granted.
I cannot complete the performance alone
I request Prince Jia Lu Tu to assist me.
The princess's invitation
is my honor.
Then let us begin.
Your Highness need only cooperate with me.
Okay.
My lord.
Come.
I didn't expect
Princess Yueli's performance
to be so wonderful.
It seems
that she put a lot of thought into it.
My loyal ministers.
Let us,
raise our cups and drink together.
Drink, Your Majesty.
As you all know,
the Hairpin Flower Festival,
is a grand event in our Yuenu Kingdom.
Today,
I want to take this opportunity
to help the princess
choose a consort.
I wonder what you all think
of this idea.
Royal mother,
the matter of the consort
can be discussed later.
The most urgent matter now
is to eliminate the traitor Hu Yun.
I wonder what the princess
means by this.
You don't have to pretend anymore.
I heard your conversation with Jia Lu Tu.
Guards!
Your Majesty.
Ever since that incident fifteen years ago
you've become incompetent in politics.
Under your rule, the country has gradually declined.
Since you lack the talent to rule this country.
Why don't you abdicate to me sooner?
If I were to rule,
in less than three years
this country will definitely become a powerful nation.
Hu Yun.
I didn't expect
you have such a sinister ambition.
Arrest her.
The ancestors were right.
This throne
will eventually be stained with blood.
Since that's the case.
What are you waiting for?
Someone.
Protect the emperor!
Protect the emperor!
The people outside the palace are going crazy.
What should we do?
Protect the emperor!
The emperess is very familiar with this.
He should be very familiar with it.
Isn't it like fifteen years ago?
Qingping Village.
What did you say?
What did Her Majesty do to Qingping Village?
Is it related to the plague?
You actually know about the plague in Qingping Village?
Because I am the only survivor
from Qingping Village.
Your Majesty.
The truth you want to hide
ultimately
cannot be hidden.
However,
I can give Your Majesty a chance to redeem yourself.
If I become the emperor.
I will use the antidote to save everyone.
Don't even think about it.
The antidote is already in my hands.
My princess.
Do you think what you took from me is the antidote?
The real antidote
is here.
Emperor
I'll give you two choices.
Either
you can cling to the throne
until the plague infects everyone
then I'll kill them all.
Or
you can pass the throne to me.
I'll save the kingdom.
With just this one bottle of antidote
how can you save everyone?
This small antidote pill,
when diluted with water,
has the potential to rescue everyone.
I hope you can follow the prescription
and develop the antidote as soon as possible
to save the people of Qingping Village.
Okay.
This prescription
apart from you,
does anyone else know about it?
Reporting to you, sir.
No one else knows.
Good.
I will definitely
speed up the development of the antidote
and not waste your hard work.
You are truly dedicated.
You have worked hard.
Father!
You are all murderers.
All of you.
You abused your power.
Exploited the people.
Failed to supervise properly.
Caused 130 innocent people in Qingping Village to fall ill
and you!
Cruel and tyrannical.
For your own selfish desires
you stole the antidote formula
and disregarded human life.
Set fire to destroy the bodies and erase the evidence.
You people in power...
Seized and plundered!
Greedy and unjust!
Heaven's justice is clear.
Aren't you afraid of retribution?
Quickly come and protect the emperor.
Quickly!
Wushu.
Retreat!
Protect the princess.
Your Majesty.
Royal mother, you go first.
Wushu
retreat!
Wushu!
Tch!
Let's fight!
Help me!
Wushu.
Quickly.
Come with me quickly
I'm not going.
I want to avenge my father.
Wushu!
There are too many infected people.
My stomach hurts.
I can't help.
Calm down.
Get out now.
It's suicide.
Get away from me.
Jia Lu Tu,
can your antidote really cure this plague?
Of course.
Prime Minister, are you...
regretting it?
That depends on the emperor's choice.
After all, they
are also citizens of Yuenu.
Let me down.
Let me down!
I'm sorry.
The situation was urgent just now.
I had no choice.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Pass down the order.
Close all the city gates.
Guard them strictly.
Do not let anyone with the plague escape the palace.
Your Majesty.
We can't do this.
If we close the city gates,
we'll all be trapped here.
Everyone will die.
If
we open the city gates,
I'm afraid all the people in the city
will suffer a devastating disaster.
Are we going to die here?
As royalty,
how can we put the people in danger for our own safety?
Your Majesty,
quickly give the order to open the city gates.
The country is in danger
and you're still fighting among yourselves.
Aren't you ashamed?
They're all coming.
What do we do?
Go to the city wall.
Use the terrain to defend.
Quickly.
Good.
Protect the emperor.
Mother, be careful.
I am sorry for the people of Qingping Village.
It's you!
Back then,
I was young and reckless,
the newly appointed emperor,
wanted to strengthen
the military power of Yuenu,
and make it into a powerful nation.
I made the mistake of a lifetime
that I regret the most.
Child
I'm sorry.
For all these years.
I have followed the ancestral teachings of the late emperor,
governed with integrity
and enforced discipline.
The people have lived in peace and contentment
and had enough food and clothing.
I ask myself.
Have I lived up to the expectations of my ancestors
and the people.
But only to
the people of Qingping Village have I failed.
For the past fifteen years.
Their cries
have haunted my mind.
I know.
They blame me
for treating them so unjustly.
Back then
you shouldn't have saved me.
It would have been better if you had let me die.
Ning Wushu.
I'm sorry to you
and even more so to the people of Qingping Village.
Now,
you have become a great hero in the eyes of the people.
I'm sure your parents
would be proud of you.
Dad
wwhat is a chivalrous person?
Even if the sky is gray
and the ground is muddy.
We must
make it our duty to help the weak and the poor
not fear the powerful
punish the wicked and eliminate evil.
This is what a chivalrous person is.
And chivalry
is the blood and justice
that flows through our veins.
I will remember
and I will not disappoint you.
What a touching drama of love and hardship.
Hu Yun.
Turn back while you still can.
Don't let Jia Lu Tu use you anymore.
Cut the crap.
Hand over the Jade Seal of Inheritance.
Don't even think about it.
Then I'll have to take it myself.
Jia Lu Tu,
you murdered my father
and massacred my village.
Today, I will settle both scores.
You're courting death!
Kongkong.
Wushu.
Why are you back?
You've grown so big.
Wushu.
When you appeared at my doorstep fifteen years ago
I thought of you as my brother.
I won't leave you alone.
Okay.
Then let's take back the antidote together.
We must not let history repeat itself
I'll accompany you for a while.
Everyone, stop!
Don't hurt her!
The Jade Seal you asked for.
Take it.
Li'er, are you alright?
Royal mother, I'm fine.
The world is finally mine.
It's mine!
Congratulations, Your Excellency.
Jia Lu Tu.
You.
I'll take your place
as the ruler.
Li'er.
Are you really okay?
Royal mother
I'm fine.
For so many years.
I...
have been too strict with you.
I have not given you any
motherly care.
Do you blame me?
I once couldn't understand royal mother.
But now I understand.
Royal mother has the world in her heart.
A heart full of love.
My Li'er
has grown up.
Go help him.
Royal mother.
Go.
Ning Wushu, what are you doing?
I must get the antidote back.
But if you get bitten, you'll mutate!
We are no match for Jia Lu Tu now.
This is the only way to save everyone.
Wushu!
Wushu.
Wushu!
Give me your hand.
Wushu!
Stop fighting Jia Lu Tu.
Hurry up and take the antidote.
No.
There is only one antidote.
We must find a water source to dilute the antidote
utilize it to spray
while they're all together.
This is the only way to save the people of the city.
Spray them together?
They won't line up for us to spray them.
It can be done.
As long as we can lure them all to the passageway.
The passageway is equipped with a defensive water spray device.
Then,
we take the antidote there, dilute it
and we can then spray it.
How do we lure them?
Use blood.
Blood?
Hurry up and go!
I'll go and activate the water spray device.
Good.
Be very careful.
Your Majesty.
rest assured.
The Kingdom of Yuenu is honored to be the first nation to be
united under this prince.
Jia Lu Tu,
you can't escape the karmic cycle.
You will eventually
be destroyed as well.
Unfortunately,
you will not live to see that day.
Oh no!
Wushu is still up there!
Ning Wushu!
Ning Wushu!
Ning Wushu, where are you?
Ning Wushu!
Wushu, it's me.
By the grace of heaven.
His Majesty's decree.
May heaven bless our Yuenu Kingdom.
Now, we have meritorious subjects
Ning Wushu and Miao Kongkong.
Not conform to common practice.
With extraordinary courage.
Who have been loyal and devoted.
To our Yuenu Kingdom.
Eradicating corruption and chaos.
Protecting our nation's peace.
Ensuring the well-being of the people.
They are truly pioneers in their field.
And chivalrous heroes who can inspire future generations.
Therefore, we specially grant
them ten thousand taels of gold.
To comfort their ambition to make their names known.
In addition, in response to the
request of our beloved subjects.
We grant them the title of "The Great Chivalrous Sage".
To give them special honor.
Decreed.
Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace.
Miao Kongkong accepts the decree.
Why is Ning Wushu not here?
Ning Wushu and the princess
have run away.
What are you waiting for?
If we don't leave now,
we won't be able to find an inn to stay at before nightfall.
The princess has run away from the palace again.
The palace
will be in chaos again.
This time, I'm not running away from the palace.
I...
am following the emperor's orders
to go on a secret mission
to understand the people's suffering.
It just so happens that we're going the same way.
I have no choice but to
reluctantly
let you be my guard.
As you wish.
Hey, let's go.
Don't ride after drinking.
Mother, it's Wushu.
Mother.
It's me.
Yin Yin, are you okay?
They're coming! Let's run!
Let's go!
[The Hairpin of the Rogue]
As the old saying goes,
A true hero
serves the country and the people.
Is this a hero?
No, it's not.
What is a hero?
What is it?
A hero is a spirit,
A spirit of indomitable will,
A conduct of standing up for justice
and sacrificing oneself to help others.
That eccentric hero of Yue Du, Ning Wushu,
Once said a famous saying,
Do you know it?
I don't know.
Heroism,
is the blood and justice that runs in our veins.
Wushu, catch me!
Well done!
You're the first man who dares to touch me.
Miss.
Your veil.
Is it really you?
My little Shushu.
Is it really you?
I think of you every day, every night,
every hour, every minute, every second.
My little Shushu, whom I think of day and night.
Kongkong, save me.
Miss has fallen ill again.
Quickly take Miss back.
This veil is hers.
Give it to her.
What for?
Men, chase after him.
Chase? What for?
Chase after him!
Quickly!
Chase him!
Wushu.
You can see the difference between people.
If it weren't for me
your innocence would be lost.
I told you not to invent those useless things.
Ouch.
You've grown wings now, haven't you?
You eat, drink, and live in my place.
Now you dare to talk back to me?
I've told you so many times.
There are always people better than you.
Sure.
Are you a bull?
Hurry, hurry.
Whoa.
What a grand procession.
Hey,
waiter.
Who are these people?
You don't know, sirs?
That is Prince Jia Lu Tu of Jiaye Kingdom.
Isn't this the Hairpin Flower Festival?
Is the emperor choosing a consort for the princess?
Look at all those trunks and boxes.
Tsk, tsk.
Hey, sirs, take your time.
Hey.
We're making a killing today.
Wushu.
You've grown up.
That.
Wow.
What's the point being like a rough man?
This?
Haven't you always wanted to be the best in the world?
If you can, in front of everyone
obtain this prince's personal treasure.
Wouldn't you be very popular?
Let's do it.
Let's go.
Good.
Who is this?
Who else could it be?
This must be Prince Jia Lu Tu from the Jiaye Kingdom.
I heard that
he has coveted the position of
Imperial Son-in-law for a long time.
He would rather give up his position as a prince
and travel thousands of miles to become
a son-in-law of our Yuenu Kingdom.
I heard that this prince is not
well-received in his own country.
He is not even qualified to enter their capital city.
Are you serious?
No wonder he clings to our princess.
Good.
Who is it?
How dare you disrupt the prince's procession?
Capture him!
Kill this lowly commoner.
Wushu.
She's so manly.
I'll do it.
Wow, we're rich!
Empty.
Let's go, Wushu.
Ah Man.
Quickly get the token back!
Today is our lucky day.
Oops.
It's just a bit heavy.
Oops.
Hey, hey.
I knew you were hiding it.
Hey, uncle.
It's hot today.
This silver.
Take it.
Go back and rest early
I can't take it.
Uncles.
This silver
is it enough to buy this cart?
It's enough.
The cart is ours.
Thank you, hero.
Let's go.
Hey.
Won't I get tired even more?
Your health isn't good.
You should exercise more.
I should have you practice qinggong.
Come on, come on.
There's enough for everyone.
It's the masked hero Ning Wushu.
Don't fight, don't fight.
There's enough for everyone.
Thank you, hero.
You're welcome.
The pursuers are here!
Hurry, hurry.
Run, run.
Make way, make way.
Run, run!
Catch!
How do I use it?
Fire!
Fire!
Can I borrow a light?
Thanks!
Hurry, Wushu!
Run, run!
She's still chasing us!
She's going to catch up!
I'm out of energy!
Let me help you.
Kongkong, hurry!
Make way, make way!
Ah!
Wow!
I'll go ahead.
How could you be so heartless?
Run!
Wow!
You're really fit.
Do you work out regularly?
Hey, wait a minute.
You look down on me, don't you?
Flying God's Palm.
Here you go.
Sorry, sorry.
I was too abrupt, brother.
We're all men.
It was just a kiss.
Why did you hit me so hard?
Shut up.
You lecher.
You.
You guys go search over there.
Why did you throw yourself at me?
I'm not interested in men.
It was just an accident.
If you want to live, shut up.
Mind your own business.
Finding the princess is more important.
Let's go.
My Prince.
They're in cahoots.
Capture them.
How dare you!
I have no grudge against you.
What right do you have to arrest me?
I'm not in cahoots with him.
Cut the crap.
Let's go.
Hey, swords have no eyes.
Be careful.
Your Majesty, your humble servant greets you.
Have you found the princess?
Half an hour ago,
we found traces of the princess in the East Market.
But then we lost her.
Before the Hairpin Flower Festival begins,
we must find the princess.
I will obey your orders.
Do you have anything else to say?
The prince of Jiaye has entered the city today.
This subject has already arranged
for him to stay at a separate residence.
The prince has come this time
to propose marriage to the princess.
Jia Lu Tu?
What qualifications does he have to marry the princess?
Although he has lost power,
he possesses something that His Majesty has always desired.
A secret technique.
A secret technique.
Has Your Majesty forgotten?
Prime Minister, what do you mean by this?
Are you questioning me?
This subject does not dare.
If there is nothing else,
this subject will take his leave.
I heard that this Hairpin Flower Festival
is being personally organized by Your Majesty.
It will surely be very exciting.
Someone!
Let me out!
Hey.
Look at how cowardly you are
you don't look like a man at all.
Shut up!
Ning Wushu.
I...
I...
I order you,
immediately get rid of these rats right now!
Clean them up.
Hey.
Are you really scared?
Yes.
Good.
It's gone.
Wow!
It's gone.
This powder of yours...
is effective.
It's just insect repellent.
What are you looking at?
Am I that good-looking?
Don't be so narcissistic.
I'm
just looking at
this famous weirdo Ning Wushu.
He's not as good as they say.
He was captured so easily.
Hmph.
He's a far cry from the legends.
They're completely different.
Joke.
How could this tiny cell possibly hold me?
I got myself arrested on purpose.
But you, my friend,
why did you follow me in here?
Could it be that you
really do have a thing for men?
You're shameless.
Hey,
are you serious?
Get back.
Stand up straight.
Don't dodge.
If I don't dodge, do you expect
me to get beaten up for nothing.
If you keep this up, I'm going to fight back.
Have you seen enough?
Oh...
I...
Let go of me!
Oh...
Ouch!
I'm sorry!
I didn't mean to.
I...
Let go of me!
Oh!
Erm.
I didn't know you were a woman before.
I apologize for any offense.
Idiot.
There's a lot you don't know.
My identity will scare you to death if I tell you.
What other identity do you have?
Are you perhaps
a hermaphrodite?
How dare you!
I am Princess Yueli.
When I get out of here,
I will definitely behead you, you shameless person.
So you're a princess.
You people of power,
you don't care about human life.
I hate
people like you the most.
Impudent!
I hate people like you the most.
Hey!
Don't walk so fast.
Wait for me.
You're so timid.
Why are you following me?
I can go wherever I want.
Is it any of your business?
I'm telling you now,
if we encounter any danger
don't expect me to save you.
Hmph.
Do I need you to save me?
Get out of my way.
Ah!
I think I hear something over there.
Ah!
Ning Wushu!
Don't kill him!
He's just been poisoned. He can still be saved.
Let's go!
Hurry!
There's no way out!
I'll hold him off.
You find the mechanism.
Found it.
Ning Wushu.
Come quickly.
The stone door is open.
Go!
Go!
Ning Wushu!
Come out quickly!
The stone door is closing.
Ning Wushu.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
We shouldn't stay here for long.
Let's leave first.
Your Excellency.
Prince Jia Lu Tu has sent word
inviting you to meet him at his villa.
Did he mention what for?
No.
Hu Yun?
How did she get here?
Let's go.
My Prince.
The prime minister has arrived.
Prime Minister.
Long time no see.
Still as radiant as ever.
How are things progressing.
Don't be anxious
I want to show you something.
Wait.
He's been to the dungeon.
This...
Rest assured that the mistakes of
fifteen years ago will not happen again.
Now we have finally succeeded.
Oh no!
Who's there?
Princess.
How did you get here?
Prime Minister.
You must save me.
This princess
was kidnapped by Ning Wushu.
Let me go at once.
Or I'll kill her.
Jia Lu Tu.
Quickly order your guards to stand down.
If the princess is harmed
you will bear the consequences.
If you release the princess.
I'll let you go.
You all, retreat to the corner.
Quickly.
Princess.
Are you hurt?
I'm fine.
No wonder I sent out guards
to search the whole city and couldn't find you.
You were actually kidnapped by Ning Wushu.
But...
why did he kidnap you
and appear here?
Sigh.
It's a long story.
However,
Prime Minister,
why are you here?
I am here
to specially invite Prince Jia Lu Tu
to attend the Hairpin Flower Festival tomorrow night.
Oh,
our Prince Jia Lu Tu
is so honored.
You even have our Prime Minister
personally come to invite you.
Your Highness is too kind.
My men
mistakenly captured Your Highness.
It was truly my fault
I beg Your Highness
to be lenient.
Since it was all a misunderstanding
Princess
please don't hold it against him.
His Majesty is still worried about your safety.
I...
will escort Your Highness back to the palace at once.
I have something else to attend to.
Your Highness.
Please.
Your Highness.
He got away.
Quickly go and check the prison.
[Stolen by the world best thief, Kongkong]
Please forgive me, Your Highness.
Go and check the prison quickly.
Find the antidote for me.
We're one step closer to success.
Why doesn't the flame ignite when it reaches the nozzle?
I clearly left a gap for you.
Don't say I didn't leave any.
What?
The gap was too big.
It caused the hot air to flow in opposite directions, right?
It's not your fault.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Let's modify it.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Come with me quickly.
Ning Wushu.
Where did you go, boy?
I...
Hey, hey, hey.
Don't fight.
They're chasing us.
Let's go.
Let's go, let's go.
Wait.
What's wrong?
I didn't bring the treasure bag.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Coming, coming!
Let's go!
Wait a minute!
What's wrong with you again?
You're walking too slowly!
Use this!
Are you thirsty?
I'll...
Calcium!
Oh, dear!
Blocking the sun!
I'll...
Stop playing!
What is this?
This...
Catch them!
Hey, Kongkong.
How do I use this?
Put it on quickly
I'll take you flying.
Run.
Quickly.
Light it.
Miao Kongkong, you really are a
very good teammate.
Thank you for your praise.
Who is it?
Sneak attack?
What kind of hero are you?
Spit.
Disgusting.
Spit, spit.
I'll spit in your face.
Why is it you again?
Are you in love with me?
If you love me, you can tell me
I can go to you.
Run!
Royal mother.
Your humble daughter greets you.
Rise.
What is this?
I seem to have.
Seen it somewhere.
You are becoming more and more unruly.
As a princess.
You have repeatedly defied the law
and left the palace without permission
I am very disappointed in you.
Royal mother.
I left the palace
to better understand the people
and show compassion.
Besides
I know.
Your Majesty is going to choose
a consort for me at the Hairpin Flower Festival.
But I really don't want to marry someone I don't love.
If you insists on forcing me
then I'd rather be a commoner.
As a princess of the royal family
you must take responsibility.
Marriage is a major event
and you have no say in it.
But I really don't want my marriage
to become a tool for maintaining power.
How dare you!
How dare you speak to me like that.
Your Majesty, please calm down
I spoke out of turn.
Forget it.
Rise.
Then tell me
what did you observe among the people?
I have indeed gained something.
That Prince Jia Lu Tu of the Jiaye Kingdom is wicked.
I saw with my own eyes that in his manor there is a...
The Prime Minister has arrived.
Your Majesty.
Your Highness.
Prime Minister.
Li'er.
We'll discuss your matter later
I will make my own decision.
You may leave now.
Remember.
Don't be so willful in the future.
Royal mother.
Leave.
Royal mother.
Prime Minister.
What brings you here?
I have come
to report to Your Majesty.
I have invited Prince Jia Lu Tu
to attend the Hairpin Flower Festival tomorrow night.
Prime Minister's hospitality
is truly thoughtful.
When did I ever agree
to let him attend the Hairpin Flower Festival?
I...
acted on my own authority.
It was also to prevent Your Majesty
from missing out on a grand feast.
It's getting late.
I...
will take my leave now.
That's right.
No wonder it looks familiar.
That jade pendant is the same as Ning Wushu's.
But why does she have the same jade pendant?
It's raining.
Put the things away.
It's raining.
Come back quickly.
I'll give you a steamed bun to eat.
Take it.
Go.
Go play over there.
Brother Wushu.
Hey, Kongkong.
You take this bag of steamed buns
and distribute them to the people behind.
Okay.
Who wants to come with me?
Me!
Let's go.
Let's go.
Here's one for you.
Thank you.
Here's one for you.
Thank you.
First, deliver the food to Lingling.
Who are you looking for, miss?
Brother.
Here.
Is there a brother here called Ning Wushu?
Brother Wushu
I'll take you to him.
This is Brother Wushu.
So you're really here.
Xiao Yi.
Here.
Thank you, Brother Wushu.
How did you know
I was here.
That's because I'm so clever, of course.
Don't you often help the poor?
I searched several poor districts before I found you.
Why did you leave the palace?
I came to ask you,
where did you get that jade pendant?
Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?
Because
I discovered that my mother
has one that is identical.
The Emperor?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Oh...
I just remembered
something that happened fifteen years ago.
Fifteen years ago.
Today, Jia Lu Tu also said
that the mistakes of fifteen
years ago will never happen again.
What does that mean?
Fifteen years ago,
the village where I grew up, Qingping Village
was hit by a plague.
I lost all my family and friends.
Qingping Village.
I remember now.
I once read the palace records.
Fifteen years ago,
over 130 people in Qingping Village
all died in a fire.
How can you say it was a plague?
Because I am the only survivor
of Qingping Village.
Fifteen years ago,
I witnessed it all with my own eyes.
This plague
was deliberately caused by someone.
Over all these years
have you found any clues?
Back then, I suffered a serious head injury
and lost some of my memories.
I only remember some fragments.
But today.
I saw the totem on Jia Lu Tu's back of his hand.
That totem
I saw it fifteen years ago.
So you got yourself captured on purpose
to investigate Jia Lu Tu.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
I brought up your sad memories.
It's okay.
Ning Wushu.
Why do you want to be a hero?
Because I can't stand those rich and powerful people
who are insatiable
and bully the weak.
So,
I give the people what they deserve.
And return it to them.
What I can do for them
is only these small things.
But you are different.
You are a princess.
What you can do for the people
is far more than me.
What's the point of being a princess?
I've been pampered since I was a child.
But I'm bound by all sorts of rules.
I have no freedom at all.
My royal mother said
as a princess,
I have my own responsibilities.
But now,
I can't even make my own decisions about my marriage.
If I could choose,
I'd rather be a commoner.
Or.
A hero who robs the rich to help the poor.
Your mother is strict with you
because she hopes you'll become independent soon.
After all, in the future
you will inherit the throne.
As the ruler of a country
the burden on your shoulders
is naturally much heavier than that of ordinary people.
You should understand her.
At least,
you still have the opportunity to show your filial piety.
Unlike me,
I don't even have the chance to see my loved ones.
Let's not talk about it.
Come.
Let's have a toast.
Wushu.
Madam Ning?
Go away!
Madam Miao?
Bear with him.
He has a bad temper.
Are you hungry?
Last night.
Drank too much.
Yesterday you
talked about the plague in Qingping Village.
What happened?
The person we saw in the secret passage yesterday
and that servant
their symptoms
are the same as the plague
symptoms in Qingping Village back then.
The poisoned
are confused and have great strength,
lose their senses,
hungry and bloodthirsty
and the closer the wound is to the heart
the faster the poison takes effect.
I'm more certain
that Jia Lu Tu
is related to the incident back then.
So.
This time, Jia Lu Tu came to Yue'nv Kingdom
with ulterior motives.
No.
I must return to the palace
immediately to deal with this matter.
What are your plans?
I want to go to the villa again
to investigate some things.
If you have any clues, notify me immediately.
Yes.
Madam Ning.
Are you leaving so soon?
Have some snacks.
Stop looking.
She's long gone.
Wushu.
The truth you've been searching for for fifteen years.
Is it finally coming to light?
I'm getting closer.
If I'm not mistaken.
The things they stole yesterday.
Should be the antidote for the plague.
Wow.
So many mosquitoes.
How did you sleep last night?
Your Highness.
How are the arrangements?
Everything has been arranged properly.
I have been waiting for this day
for fifteen years.
Tonight's Hairpin Flower Festival
must not have any mishaps.
Understood.
So his target is the Hairpin Flower Festival.
Let's go.
By the grace of Heaven.
His Majesty's decree states.
The Hairpin Flower Festival
is a grand event of our kingdom.
All citizens of our Yuenu kingdom
may enter the moon platform to watch the sky lanterns.
Regardless of rank or status,
everyone shall enjoy it together.
By imperial decree.
What is this smell?
It smells so good.
I deserve to die.
Forgive me, Princess.
All of you, step back.
You still dare to hide?
What's going on?
Shut up!
What clues do you have?
Jia Lu Tu is going to sabotage the Hairpin Flower Festival.
Is he going to use the poison
at the Hairpin Flower Festival?
Our top priority now is
to find the antidote first.
The antidote
is in the token he carries with him.
What are you doing?
Can I speak now?
Speak.
If you want to find the antidote,
you must be careful of that female guard.
I don't know how Jia Lu Tu's martial arts are,
but that female guard's martial arts are very formidable
and her stamina is particularly good.
Let me tell you,
she chases me as soon as she sees me.
She chases me as soon as she sees me.
She must have taken a fancy to me.
Otherwise, why would she chase me?
What are you planning to do?
Don't forget.
Palace is my territory.
I have a plan.
I have a great plan.
Why don't you allow me
to use my beauty to entice her?
Wushu.
Wushu.
The palace is huge.
Wushu, don't leave me behind.
The Hairpin Flower Festival begins!
Let them pass.
We've been expecting you.
Your Excellency, please.
Please.
The chests contain valuables.
Be careful.
The emperor has arrived.
Long live the emperor!
Rise, my ministers.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Take your seats.
Why is the princess not here?
Your Majesty.
The princess will be here shortly.
Alright.
Good.
Her Highness the Princess has arrived.
Your humble subject greets the emperor.
Rise.
Take a seat.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty,
on this grand occasion
I have prepared a performance
to add to the festivities.
I request Your Majesty
to grant me permission to perform.
It is rare for Li'er to be so thoughtful.
Granted.
I cannot complete the performance alone
I request Prince Jia Lu Tu to assist me.
The princess's invitation
is my honor.
Then let us begin.
Your Highness need only cooperate with me.
Okay.
My lord.
Come.
I didn't expect
Princess Yueli's performance
to be so wonderful.
It seems
that she put a lot of thought into it.
My loyal ministers.
Let us,
raise our cups and drink together.
Drink, Your Majesty.
As you all know,
the Hairpin Flower Festival,
is a grand event in our Yuenu Kingdom.
Today,
I want to take this opportunity
to help the princess
choose a consort.
I wonder what you all think
of this idea.
Royal mother,
the matter of the consort
can be discussed later.
The most urgent matter now
is to eliminate the traitor Hu Yun.
I wonder what the princess
means by this.
You don't have to pretend anymore.
I heard your conversation with Jia Lu Tu.
Guards!
Your Majesty.
Ever since that incident fifteen years ago
you've become incompetent in politics.
Under your rule, the country has gradually declined.
Since you lack the talent to rule this country.
Why don't you abdicate to me sooner?
If I were to rule,
in less than three years
this country will definitely become a powerful nation.
Hu Yun.
I didn't expect
you have such a sinister ambition.
Arrest her.
The ancestors were right.
This throne
will eventually be stained with blood.
Since that's the case.
What are you waiting for?
Someone.
Protect the emperor!
Protect the emperor!
The people outside the palace are going crazy.
What should we do?
Protect the emperor!
The emperess is very familiar with this.
He should be very familiar with it.
Isn't it like fifteen years ago?
Qingping Village.
What did you say?
What did Her Majesty do to Qingping Village?
Is it related to the plague?
You actually know about the plague in Qingping Village?
Because I am the only survivor
from Qingping Village.
Your Majesty.
The truth you want to hide
ultimately
cannot be hidden.
However,
I can give Your Majesty a chance to redeem yourself.
If I become the emperor.
I will use the antidote to save everyone.
Don't even think about it.
The antidote is already in my hands.
My princess.
Do you think what you took from me is the antidote?
The real antidote
is here.
Emperor
I'll give you two choices.
Either
you can cling to the throne
until the plague infects everyone
then I'll kill them all.
Or
you can pass the throne to me.
I'll save the kingdom.
With just this one bottle of antidote
how can you save everyone?
This small antidote pill,
when diluted with water,
has the potential to rescue everyone.
I hope you can follow the prescription
and develop the antidote as soon as possible
to save the people of Qingping Village.
Okay.
This prescription
apart from you,
does anyone else know about it?
Reporting to you, sir.
No one else knows.
Good.
I will definitely
speed up the development of the antidote
and not waste your hard work.
You are truly dedicated.
You have worked hard.
Father!
You are all murderers.
All of you.
You abused your power.
Exploited the people.
Failed to supervise properly.
Caused 130 innocent people in Qingping Village to fall ill
and you!
Cruel and tyrannical.
For your own selfish desires
you stole the antidote formula
and disregarded human life.
Set fire to destroy the bodies and erase the evidence.
You people in power...
Seized and plundered!
Greedy and unjust!
Heaven's justice is clear.
Aren't you afraid of retribution?
Quickly come and protect the emperor.
Quickly!
Wushu.
Retreat!
Protect the princess.
Your Majesty.
Royal mother, you go first.
Wushu
retreat!
Wushu!
Tch!
Let's fight!
Help me!
Wushu.
Quickly.
Come with me quickly
I'm not going.
I want to avenge my father.
Wushu!
There are too many infected people.
My stomach hurts.
I can't help.
Calm down.
Get out now.
It's suicide.
Get away from me.
Jia Lu Tu,
can your antidote really cure this plague?
Of course.
Prime Minister, are you...
regretting it?
That depends on the emperor's choice.
After all, they
are also citizens of Yuenu.
Let me down.
Let me down!
I'm sorry.
The situation was urgent just now.
I had no choice.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Pass down the order.
Close all the city gates.
Guard them strictly.
Do not let anyone with the plague escape the palace.
Your Majesty.
We can't do this.
If we close the city gates,
we'll all be trapped here.
Everyone will die.
If
we open the city gates,
I'm afraid all the people in the city
will suffer a devastating disaster.
Are we going to die here?
As royalty,
how can we put the people in danger for our own safety?
Your Majesty,
quickly give the order to open the city gates.
The country is in danger
and you're still fighting among yourselves.
Aren't you ashamed?
They're all coming.
What do we do?
Go to the city wall.
Use the terrain to defend.
Quickly.
Good.
Protect the emperor.
Mother, be careful.
I am sorry for the people of Qingping Village.
It's you!
Back then,
I was young and reckless,
the newly appointed emperor,
wanted to strengthen
the military power of Yuenu,
and make it into a powerful nation.
I made the mistake of a lifetime
that I regret the most.
Child
I'm sorry.
For all these years.
I have followed the ancestral teachings of the late emperor,
governed with integrity
and enforced discipline.
The people have lived in peace and contentment
and had enough food and clothing.
I ask myself.
Have I lived up to the expectations of my ancestors
and the people.
But only to
the people of Qingping Village have I failed.
For the past fifteen years.
Their cries
have haunted my mind.
I know.
They blame me
for treating them so unjustly.
Back then
you shouldn't have saved me.
It would have been better if you had let me die.
Ning Wushu.
I'm sorry to you
and even more so to the people of Qingping Village.
Now,
you have become a great hero in the eyes of the people.
I'm sure your parents
would be proud of you.
Dad
wwhat is a chivalrous person?
Even if the sky is gray
and the ground is muddy.
We must
make it our duty to help the weak and the poor
not fear the powerful
punish the wicked and eliminate evil.
This is what a chivalrous person is.
And chivalry
is the blood and justice
that flows through our veins.
I will remember
and I will not disappoint you.
What a touching drama of love and hardship.
Hu Yun.
Turn back while you still can.
Don't let Jia Lu Tu use you anymore.
Cut the crap.
Hand over the Jade Seal of Inheritance.
Don't even think about it.
Then I'll have to take it myself.
Jia Lu Tu,
you murdered my father
and massacred my village.
Today, I will settle both scores.
You're courting death!
Kongkong.
Wushu.
Why are you back?
You've grown so big.
Wushu.
When you appeared at my doorstep fifteen years ago
I thought of you as my brother.
I won't leave you alone.
Okay.
Then let's take back the antidote together.
We must not let history repeat itself
I'll accompany you for a while.
Everyone, stop!
Don't hurt her!
The Jade Seal you asked for.
Take it.
Li'er, are you alright?
Royal mother, I'm fine.
The world is finally mine.
It's mine!
Congratulations, Your Excellency.
Jia Lu Tu.
You.
I'll take your place
as the ruler.
Li'er.
Are you really okay?
Royal mother
I'm fine.
For so many years.
I...
have been too strict with you.
I have not given you any
motherly care.
Do you blame me?
I once couldn't understand royal mother.
But now I understand.
Royal mother has the world in her heart.
A heart full of love.
My Li'er
has grown up.
Go help him.
Royal mother.
Go.
Ning Wushu, what are you doing?
I must get the antidote back.
But if you get bitten, you'll mutate!
We are no match for Jia Lu Tu now.
This is the only way to save everyone.
Wushu!
Wushu.
Wushu!
Give me your hand.
Wushu!
Stop fighting Jia Lu Tu.
Hurry up and take the antidote.
No.
There is only one antidote.
We must find a water source to dilute the antidote
utilize it to spray
while they're all together.
This is the only way to save the people of the city.
Spray them together?
They won't line up for us to spray them.
It can be done.
As long as we can lure them all to the passageway.
The passageway is equipped with a defensive water spray device.
Then,
we take the antidote there, dilute it
and we can then spray it.
How do we lure them?
Use blood.
Blood?
Hurry up and go!
I'll go and activate the water spray device.
Good.
Be very careful.
Your Majesty.
rest assured.
The Kingdom of Yuenu is honored to be the first nation to be
united under this prince.
Jia Lu Tu,
you can't escape the karmic cycle.
You will eventually
be destroyed as well.
Unfortunately,
you will not live to see that day.
Oh no!
Wushu is still up there!
Ning Wushu!
Ning Wushu!
Ning Wushu, where are you?
Ning Wushu!
Wushu, it's me.
By the grace of heaven.
His Majesty's decree.
May heaven bless our Yuenu Kingdom.
Now, we have meritorious subjects
Ning Wushu and Miao Kongkong.
Not conform to common practice.
With extraordinary courage.
Who have been loyal and devoted.
To our Yuenu Kingdom.
Eradicating corruption and chaos.
Protecting our nation's peace.
Ensuring the well-being of the people.
They are truly pioneers in their field.
And chivalrous heroes who can inspire future generations.
Therefore, we specially grant
them ten thousand taels of gold.
To comfort their ambition to make their names known.
In addition, in response to the
request of our beloved subjects.
We grant them the title of "The Great Chivalrous Sage".
To give them special honor.
Decreed.
Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace.
Miao Kongkong accepts the decree.
Why is Ning Wushu not here?
Ning Wushu and the princess
have run away.
What are you waiting for?
If we don't leave now,
we won't be able to find an inn to stay at before nightfall.
The princess has run away from the palace again.
The palace
will be in chaos again.
This time, I'm not running away from the palace.
I...
am following the emperor's orders
to go on a secret mission
to understand the people's suffering.
It just so happens that we're going the same way.
I have no choice but to
reluctantly
let you be my guard.
As you wish.
Hey, let's go.
Don't ride after drinking.
