Don't drink that water， it might be poisonous
You can have some of mine
Your Majesty， everyone here has been killed
Just like the town before
They want to kill us all. We don't even have a place to rest
- Let's go！ - Let's go！
You can't hide now， come out. Come on out
Your Majesty
Stop！
Get out of here！
l'll kill them all！
Hey！ ls that necessary?
The Fourteenth Royal Thieves
ls Your Majesty all right? You're bleeding badly
Your Majesty， look at this
Watch out！
- Are you OK? - Thanks for your help
lt's my pleasure！ Who were those people?
We don't know. Why don't you ask them?
Thanks. That's very helpful
You're badly wounded， come to my place and l'll dress the wound for you
- l live at the fishing village nearby. - Thanks but we're in a rush
ln a rush? This is the end of the road
Come to my place for a rest and something to eat
You invited us without asking who we are
Why ask when l know you won't tell the truth?
Your Majesty， your injury is quite serious. We should accept his invitation
We'll be vigilant
The shark soup is ready！
Come on， the soup is ready！
- Auntie， please keep an eye on the soup. - OK
Thank you
Uncle Fu！ Little Shrimp！
- Come on！ - Coming. ls the soup ready?
The fish belly is for you， l forgot to give you that before
You two should learn how to fish
The soup is inside， help yourself
Good boy
lt smells a bit too fishy， some white pepper would help
Here， have some soup
- lt's not poisonous！ - Did l ask you that?
You're so ignorant
Only sharks with three stripes near their gills are poisonous
There's no teaching her. Enjoy！ l'll go and join my friends
- Fei， there's plenty left. - Take it with you
- The soup is delicious. - lt's nutritious as well
What's your name?
Yen the Thirteenth. What about you?
Everyone calls me Fei. l grew up here
Where are you from?
- l'm a nomad. - A nomad?
You don't look like one
A man can be a nobleman one day， and a beggar the next
You're too intellectual for me
- Brother Yen！ - That girl is looking for you again
- l'll get you another bowl of soup. - Thank you
l'll leave you in peace
Your Majesty， another bowl of soup
You have it， you must be tired
Drink up
Your Majesty is very kind-hearted but the Thieves are ruthless
We should stay here for a while and not confront them
l can't do that， l can't disappoint my people
l must contact Lord LanNing quickly
We have to join forces with him
l haven't seen him in years
l wonder how his daughter Yuet is?
l wanted to invite Yuet to join us
but l couldn't make her live a nomadic life
Your Majesty
Please don't worry， l've been watching him closely
This young man should be OK
l've never doubted him
- Fei， let me help you. - Hey， it's you. Thanks a lot
l'll be fine now
Fei， you left a corner loose. The fish will escape
We fishermen always give the fish a chance to escape
lt's a merciful deed， for good karma
An educated man like you should have heard of that
l have
But l haven't seen it done before
The cannon will attack， the horses will defend
The chariots will charge
the cannons will fire as one
- The bamboo forest killer is here. - Please forgive my failure
You're useless， they escaped too easily
You're of no use to me
Heaven And Earth
Checkmate！
l want some men to search the bamboo forest en masse
Be good， Wei
- Fei！ - Hey， Brother Yen！
You're up early
You're even earlier
Not really， l come here every morning to play with Wei
Does he listen to you?
Of course. l'll show you
* Two people celebrating true friendship *
Be good， don't embarrass me. Hey！ look here
* Freedom belongs to the two of us
* Living peacefully in this wilderness
* Open up your wings and fly
* And don't worry about what's to come
* That's freedom
* We'll sing words of praise for freedom
* Open your hearts to each other
* That's the best way to ensure a lasting friendship *
- Who are they? - My enemy. l have to go
No， there's only one way out of here， they'll see you
l'll take you to a safe place
Brother Yen， we're almost there. This way， please
Let's go
We'll go this way
l bet you weren't expecting a beautiful place like this
Follow me
Here it is
Royal Tomb of the Yen Family
What's he…?
Why so formal?
- Shut up and kneel. - What's going on?
Fei， this is the Royal Tomb of my ancestors
Royal Tomb? How are you related?
lf that is his ancestor， he's our current prince
- He doesn't look like a prince to me. - Don't be rude
lf he's a prince， he wouldn't have to suffer like he did in the bamboo forest
And he doesn't even know where his own ancestral tomb is. lt's ridiculous
His Majesty is here because his throne has been stolen from him
He didn't know of this tomb
because the Royal ancestors were afraid of tomb robbers
so they built 72 tombs， some fake and some genuine
Really?
That's bad news. l always play here
Your Majesty！
You may rise
Thanks， Brother Yen. No！ Thanks， Your Majesty
l'm sorry， l don't really know how to talk politely
Please， talk to me like before
Great！ Hey！
You shouldn't really say “Hey！” to an emperor
That's how l did it before
- Hey！ - Hey！
- Fei！ - Yes?
How did you find this place?
l was playing with Wei one morning and discovered this ancient tomb accidentally
That tunnel there leads to the sea
Hey！ Don't think too much. You should hide， no one will find you
l can't， my enemy is very aggressive
l must get to Lord LanNing and his daughter first
Fei， is there a way to the western countryside?
Yes！
Get ready！ We'll leave immediately
This way！
Get out of the way and keep quiet. On your knees
Follow his orders， don't do anything rash
The arrival of the Emperor！ Keep quiet and stay out of the way
- Who's that? - My royal brother
Hey！ Quiet in the presence of the Emperor
Listen here
how far is it to the nearest village?
Your Majesty， it's about 60 miles away
60 miles. Then what are these villagers doing here?
Ask them all to raise their heads
Hey！ Raise your heads
Brother Thirteen， you may rise
How are you going to regain power with so few?
A few of us are better than a thousand dogs like you
You're a fugitive， wandering around like a dog that's lost its master
Brother Fourteen， we're blood brothers. l never thought you'd become so evil
You killed my men and robbed me of my throne
You stole it with blood and rule with violence
You've brought misery to the country
Brother， please withdraw
Stop this nonsense and go back to your cave. Do your dreaming there
lt's never too late for revenge. And the best defence is from below ground
Well said， but the best attack is from above
Fei and Hsien， go now， leave them to me
Fei， take this piece ofjade to Lord LanNing and his daughter
Don't you worry. l'll bring them to you safely
- Your Majesty. - Don't worry about me
Go now！
Hsien！
Get up！
OK！
Lord LanNing， we're here by the order of Prince Thirteen
The Fourteenth Royal Thieves are on their way to attack you and Yuet
- Yuet. - l'm busy flying my kite
Come back， please
Higher！ Higher！
Yuet， come back here， please！
How tiresome， the kites have all fallen. Go and pick them up
Yes， Princess
Wait for me！
Father， what's the matter?
- Yuet， go with them to Prince Thirteen. - Why?
Go now！ l'll send some men to you later
l don't know them. Why should l follow them?
Don't you want to see Brother Yen?
Can l bring them?
Hey！ Come back
Come back
Traitors and thieves like you need to be taught some manners
Yuet， go now
Go now！
- Fei， you go on. l'll catch up later. - Sit tight
lt's covered with blood. l can't clean it off
So much blood
l'd never have thought such a quiet girl could kill so savagely
lt's my first time. lt's so bloody
lt's like gutting fish - you get stains from killing them too
Can you think of a way to wash this off?
You have to use rice to wash the stain
lsn't rice for eating?
l give up
Hey， stop crying. Are women made of water， or something?
Stop crying！
Why raise your voice?
Was that the first time you killed someone?
You're very skilful. You've got a bright future
Spoilt brat
Smells good
- What's that? - Something delicious
Try some
lt's kind of sour. What meat is this?
Anteater
Hey！
Don't waste food
Don't you have pheasant or boar? What about grilled fish?
My dear customer， l'm afraid l don't have that on the menu
Please remember that we're on the run
l'll roast it a bit longer， then it won't taste so sour
Now look - the bats can't see through all your smoke
Can't you try using your brain a bit? Bats are blind
lf bats are blind…
Who is that?
- Fei！ - l'm here
- Why did you call my name? - l was afraid l'd lose you
He's next to you！
Be careful！
l'll make it brighter for you
What are you doing with that torch?
l was worried you couldn't see
Come and help！
- Can you see where he is? - Can you?
- Who can it be? - Someone sent by Prince Fourteen
Who asked you? Busybody
We're lucky the horse is still there. Hurry up
Come on. Here！
What are you waiting for?
No one mounts a horse before me
You want me to come down just so you can mount the horse first?
l'll ride the horse. You'll clear the path for me
She's got some funny ideas
Go on， then
Hurry up. This isn't an embroidery lesson， you know
Who do you think you are? Why are you so fierce?
Why should l follow your commands?
l'm the daughter of Lord LanNing. l am a princess
And l'm the only son of the head of a fishing village. l am Fei
Ridiculous！ l'm heir to the throne of LanNing country. Don't you get it?
And l'm also an heir - to the fishing village
And l own the Yellow Flower fishing ground， in case you didn't know
Shut up！ l'm a close friend of Prince Thirteen
Both countries have been exchanging gifts for years， in case you didn't know
No， l just know that l'm related to the head of the neighbouring village
l regularly visit the market there
l buy fish fry and crabs by the basket. lsn't that something?
- You… - What? Get on the horse
Please yourself
l was only joking！
Where have you gone?
Where are you?
l'm sorry， please come out. l'll call you Princess， if you want
Princess！
Where are you? Princess！
Princess！ Princess！
Princess！ l was only joking. Please come back
This is the forest of thorns. Be careful， Princess
Princess
Are you OK?
Fei！
Fei， are you all right?
- l'm fine. - You're bleeding badly
l'm injured， l can't protect you now
You must go to the Royal Tomb by yourself
l want to go there with you， Fei！
We'll go together
lt's all my fault
lf l'd behaved myself， we wouldn't be in this mess
- Don't die on me. - Put me down
- l'll carry you out of here. - You'll never make it
l will， l'm strong
Fei
You won't have enough strength. lt would be foolish for both of us to die here
- l won't leave you here. - Leave me
Don't die. l'll get us out of here
Be quiet！
Please be quiet！
Please be strong
lt's not this way
l'll find a way out
lt's the same place again
Everywhere looks the same. Fei， you must be strong
l'll carry you out
You're bleeding so much
There's blood everywhere
But if we leave blood wherever we go…
then paths we haven't tried won't have any blood！
That's it！
Stay with me， we're almost there
Fei， we're safe
Fei！
Fei， Fei
Wake up！ Fei. Wake up！
l've got to try
Fei， don't move. You'll be fine soon
lt feels good. What is it?
Magic powder. lt's formed by all the dead shellfish grinding together over the years
Ah， yes， l know - it's called blue tears
Blue tears? That's a nice name. Did your village invent that name?
No， l just came up with it. l'm the cleverest guy in the village
Then you should know what sicknesses the blue tears heal
l don't. As long as you know， we'll be fine
Are you hurt?
You fought so ferociously， you didn't care if you died
l made a promise to Brother Yen that l'd bring you to him safely
You did it for him?
l did it for you
What's that sound?
lt's from the jade pendant
Yours gives a low tone
Mine gives a high tone
When they're close to each other， they emit sound in the wind
Let me have a look
Why didn't Brother Yen tell me about it?
l didn't know that jade could emit sound
Jade not only has its own sound， it has its own brightness as well
lt's amazing
l think they belong together
They've always been a pair
One is me， the other is Brother Yen
Your Majesty
lt's my fault
Hsien， you've changed
Even though l've been harsh on you
l still can't see the hatred you used to have in you
What's the matter with you?
Have you fallen for Brother Thirteen?
Your Majesty， l would not dare
l told you to kill him as soon as he leaves town. What are you waiting for?
l wanted to kill all his men first before killing him
Nonsense. Today is the seventh
lf you don't bring his head to me by the fifteenth， drink this bottle of poison
Your Majesty
By the fifteenth， l want all my problems solved. Leave no survivors
* Smile for me in the warmth of the spring
* When the flowers are smiling too *
There are probably a lot of dead bodies under all these wild flowers
How do you know?
That's what l heard
The more bodies that are buried in the ground， the more fertile it becomes
Flowers thrive on burial sites
Do you mean that under all these beautiful flowers are dead bodies?
- Probably. - l don't believe it
You're lying
Be good
What's wrong?
Don't be scared. These are traps set by hunters
There's one more there. Wait for me here
Don't be scared
- This one doesn't want to go. - Should we keep it as a pet?
OK
A forlorn white rabbit. Moving east， missing the west
You sound so profound. l don't really understand
lt's a proverb. Forlorn means lonely， a forlorn rabbit is a lonely rabbit
When it's in the east， it can't help but think of the west
ls that all?
There are more， but l can't remember
Your Majesty， forgive my faults
Why didn't you come back with Fei and Yuet?
lt was too dangerous a situation for us to come back together
l'm not worried about Fei. As for Yuet…
She'll be fine， don't worry
- OK， you can rest now. - Please excuse me
Hsien， are you all right?
l'm fine. Thank you， Your Majesty
Look！ That's my fishing village. lsn't it beautiful?
- lt is beautiful. - l grew up here
Really?
Shall l take you there for a visit?
Have you tasted shark and white pepper soup?
Shark and white pepper soup?
lt's cooked in a big urn， the fish is big as well. lt's just there…
Yuet！
Brother Yen！
Yuet！
Brother Yen！
- Yuet！ - Brother Yen！
- Are you all right? - l'm fine. Where have you been?
Let's go back， we've got a lot of catching up to do. We'll never be apart again
OK
- Fei， please come over. - Brother Yen， l'm coming
Are you cold?
Put this on
Look at you， you're behaving like a little girl
- Where did you get the rabbit? - lt's a gift from Fei
Fei?
Yes. A forlorn white rabbit. Moving east， missing the west
Right. A forlorn white rabbit. Moving east， missing the west
Gowns are better new. Friends are better old
l don't understand
Though we're happier wearing new clothes， we'd miss old friends more than new ones
Yuet， come and sit with me
Fei， you can take her horse
OK
Let's return to the Royal Tomb
l've got some good news for you
l've decided to bring forward the wedding of my daughter and Prince Thirteen
to this autumn
We'll combine our armies and attack the Thieves
Long live the Emperor！
l have another announcement to make
From this day forth
Fei will be my General
Brother Yen！
Oh. l'm sorry， Your Majesty
l don't want to be a General
l just want to stay in the fishing village and play with Wei every day
Fei， even if you don't want to be a General， you should stay with us
Stay here as my friend
Brother Yen， l'm a labourer， l'm more suited for life in the village
lf ever you need any help， you can always look for me in the village
Farewell
Fei
lt's you. Have a seat
- You still remember this tune? - Yes
The village is very beautiful. lt's very romantic
One man facing the sea， fetching water， catching fish， cooking soup
How romantic can that be?
But you can always see the divine light here
That's where you're wrong. l've only seen the divine light once
The time when l was wounded
Sometimes， once is enough
You're right
Once is enough
Be it the injury or the divine light
Who's there?
Something for you
Why?
Because you like the sound ofjade
Thanks a lot
This single piece can only make a simple tune
But together with your laughter it will form a nice melody
OK， then. lt can be with me when l'm out at sea
When the wind blows， l bet it'll play some romantic tune
l should be going
Then we should start…
Start what?
Start to end this
Good， it's about time to finish it
- l won't see you off， then. - Farewell
- Fei. - Brother Yen
- Haven't you gone to bed? - The night is too beautiful to miss
Thanks for bringing Yuet here. lt must have been exhausting
Did you have any trouble on the trip?
No. Well， if there was， l can't remember it
That's fortunate
Fei， l've decided to marry in the autumn. You're invited
l promised Uncle Fu l'd go fishing out at sea this autumn
You should come
We fishermen have to keep our promises
OK， then
This is for you
Your jade pendant?
We're about to get married
She'll be by my side， l don't need this any more
Thank you
- Hsien！ - Yuet
- What happened to them? - l don't know
l only know that you were here when l came in
What are you talking about? l just came from outside
What were you doing by the sea?
l said outside， not seaside
Are you trying to deny meeting Fei secretly?
l was saying goodbye and thanking Fei for bringing me here
Oh， parting by the sea
Yes. And if l was by the sea， who was inside the Royal Tomb?
Does it mean that one of us is a nymph and the other a villain?
How dare you?
Stop！
With our enemy hunting us down， this is not the time for internal conflict
Forgive me
Brother Yen， there's a traitor in our midst
Your hand is wounded
You stabbed me earlier
No， l didn't. That's an old wound， anyway
l suspect she's the person from the forest of thorns
What is she talking about?
She was with Fei earlier. l suspect they're the traitors
Shut up！
l don't want anyone to belittle Fei or Yuet
l deserve to be punished
Go and rest
Brother Yen， she…
Your Majesty， The Fourteenth Royal Thieves should be here soon
You can't stay here
Us?
l'm not important， death is nothing to me. l'll stay here to hold them up
Hsien， l know that you've been very loyal
lf we regain power， you'll be rewarded
lt's my heavenly duty to protect Your Majesty
l'll bury these bodies at the cliff top
This is a Royal Tomb， no commoner should die here
* Smile for me in the warmth of the spring
* When the flowers are smiling too
* Dance when you're happy
* Show your blushing face
* ln the breeze of spring look around in anticipation
* Rest among the colours of the spring
* The river is reflecting the beauty of spring
* Remember the times we travelled together
* Feelings of love grow in my heart
* Love the beauty of flowers
* Love the thought of you
* Love walking among the flowers
* Cherishing the beauty of spring *
Long live the Emperor！
Let's go
Stop！
- What's the meaning of this? - Kill！
Stop！
Stop！ These people are innocent
Auntie！ Auntie， are you all right?
Please stop！
Let's go
Your Majesty！ Your Majesty！
Lang， what happened?
The village has been massacred by the Fourteenth Royal Thieves. They're here
We're brothers， connected by blood. l'll find you wherever you hide
Hsien， get Yuet out of here！ Quick！
Hsien， despite your betrayal， l respect you for gaining Yen's confidence
You've been manipulating us. But anyone with a conscience will betray you
You only care about the throne， not the suffering of your people
lf it weren't for your opposition， l'd have united the country
bringing peace to the land and alleviating my people's suffering
lf you don't even care about me， how will you care for your people?
You talk nonsense！
Wei！
Come over here！
You've seen it. All the villagers are dead. l've got to get revenge
You should go
l don't want to do this but l'm not sure whether l'll be back
Please go
Please leave
Go away， l don't want to play with you any more
Leave！
l need your blessing to deal with the Thieves
Yuet！
Watch out！
Hsien， you're such a lowlife
You fought your whole life but for the wrong person
lf you repent now， l'll let you go
l'd have killed you if l'd had a choice
On your knees
Hsien！
Your Majesty
though l couldn't live for you， l'm happy to have died for you
Hsien！
Brother， you're far too romantic. l'll let you die together
Watch out， Brother Yen！
Fei！
Why did you come?
l've come to avenge the 89 villagers he killed
How dare you talk to me like that， peasant?
You've no right to kill anyone
How are you going to avenge your 89 villagers now?
Wei
l'll finish you off
Yuet！
Yuet. Yuet…
Yuet！ Are you all right?
l do like you but l could never forget Brother Yen
l can't be with either of you. l'm sorry
l'm sorry
lt doesn't matter
Can l listen to the sound of the jade pendant again?
Of course you can
Can you hear it?
Please don't worry， you'll be fine
l thought l'd never wake up
but when l came to， l was with Wei in the middle of the sea
The Royal Tomb has collapsed
They're all buried inside it
Many years later， l came here again
lt was covered with vibrant wild flowers
l remember telling you a tale that wild flowers grow best on burial grounds
l never thought the tales would be true
especially the melancholy ones
* Smile for me in the warmth of the spring
* When the flowers are smiling too
* Dance when you're happy
* Show your blushing face
* ln the breeze of the spring， look around in anticipation
* Rest among the colours of the spring
* The river is reflecting the beauty of spring
* Remember the times we travelled together
