Today is a very special day
It's been ages since Golden Valley had such a joyyous day
It's all due to Ha-er
To Commemorate the occasion, I prepared...
a little something with our community fund
I hope you'll forgive me and always remember today
Jinfa, Xioliuzi, An-le are you ready?
Begin!
That's beautiful!
It's so pretty!
Look, they're having a great time together
All of you stop it!
Father, help!
Get down
My lady
Governor, you seem suprised
I warned you not to cross me
Surrender the rebel, or your wife and son die
Don't hurt them!
- Chief, - He's gone?
Release my wife and child
Father, help me
You're lower than the Prince's dogs
You...
Father
You know the way to Golden Valley
Take care, I'm heading back to report to Governor Zhuo
I'm understood. Take care
Greetings Your Highness
Are you here to reward us for recovering the gold....
- my lord? - What happened to Tienyun?
He died in a fire during the chaos at Zhuo house
Really? That's not what I heard
Where's the governor hiding Tieyun?
It's just one rebel You lost him the first time to Zhuo
You watched him escape the second time You axpect to rewarded for your incompetence
Your highness, I failed you
But Your Highness is wise and powerful
A thief or two is not worth your attention
After all, we have the gold
and we eliminated the troublesome Zhuo
You've got everything, Your Highness
Idiot!
Without Tieyun, how can I report to the imperial court?
The longer Tienyun stays alive, the longer I must suffer
My lord, please give me another chance I'll go to Golden Valley immediately....
to capture Tieyun
Bring him back, dead or alive It's your last chance
If you fail again, we'll both suffer the consequences
Thank you four your kindness
I swear I'll teach this old thief a lesson one day
Chief...Have a drink, relax
Ready the horses
He's waking up
Who are you? Hpw did you get here?
Is this Golden Valley?
Who's Master Mao?
You're injured. don't run about
Master Mao, the people here....
seem wary of outsiders
You've been arround, ever hear that...
each moment caution is another life saved?
Someone told me...Golden Valley is a safe place
Are you looking for this?
86 tablets for the Huanghuagang Martyrs...
That's strange
Isn't it true that I didn't know Governor Zhuo at first
He may serve the Qing court
but I sense that he's a righteous man...
a man of unwavering spirit
He knew the gold I lost was earmarked for guns and cannons
He also knew...
our mission was to toppple the corrupt Qing court and rebuild a stronger nation
Wait
Take with this Tablet
You've made an honorable choice
I believe my commrades didn't die in vain
One day...
The Governor set me free
The Prince will not let him so easily
I'm affraid he will be implicated
The Prince's henechmen are vicious
They're capable of anything We should...
Enough, Since the governor sent you here
I'm obliged to give you refuge
But I can't help you recovery your lost gold
I have no interest in the affair of the world... beyond Golden Valley
In my eyes, Golden Valley is all that matters
Master Mao, the gold can save the country
If our motherland is lost
we have no place to set down roots
That's going too far. You may stay in Golden Valley
As long as you observe our rules, Anyones who stays here
must relinquish their past, and remember...
Once one enters Golden Valley, one never leaves
But the governor entrusted you with a task?
You're injured. Rest first
I am busy
Call me if you need me
Bandits are coming?
I'll get Master Mao
No need to fear
I have no quarrell with anyone here
I'm looking for an outsider
a rebel outlaw named...
Tieyun Surrender him now!
Each village has it own rules
Anyone who arrives here is considered one of us
You can't just take who you want
Good..! You have guts and courage
Too bad you're not too bright
How many villagers do you have here...a hundred?
I'll take this one main in exchange for a hundred lives
Shall I do the math for you?
Man Tianhong, don't involved the innocent
You can take me with you
What's this A weapon?
You don't need a butcher's knife to kill a chicken
We're all God's dhildren!
Are you all as stupid as him? Surrender the man!
Do you want war?
Woi...Gong-er, don't go there
Guo-er! No!
You asked for it Kill them! - Don't force my hand!
Move!
Mother! Run!
Mother!
Guo-er, you'll get yourself killed. Run!
Don't hurt the children!
Children, go inside now! Hurry!
Go away
Careful...don't go out!
Run for your lives! Don't die here too! - Retreat!
How can I live without you?
Stop!
He brought this trouble to Golden Valley
I'm sorry
for putting you all danger
Why did you come here? Spit it out
That's right
Who exactly are you? The bandits came the moment you showed up
Who told you about this place?
It was Governor Zhuo
our savior, he sent him here
I know you all secretly blame me for offering Tieyun refuge
Every one of you right to be worried
But I must remind you of our rules
When someone enters Golden Valley we don't question their situation or past
Each person has experienced terrible suffering
But why did we all end up here?
Our master Liu? His true identity is Liu Shan, the Beijing sword legend.
When the Eight Nation Army invaded Beijing the Qing officials all ran
But Liu and his brothers stayed behind Afterwards, to appease the invaders
the Qing court threw him in prison
That's where I met him
This man here, once served in the naval forces as the youngest commander
When the French fleet reached Mawei He was the first to open on the enemy
He was later demoted and exiled to the Nort
Coincidentally, I was there too
As for Wuchou...
Exuse me, my stomach hurt
Wuchou is from a prominent family
but hates to be reminded, so I'll tell you my story
Wu Zhong-e and I met at the Yihetuan Society
After the Xinchou Treaty was signed
we were persecuted for opposing the Qing court Later on, Governor Zhuo helped us escape
Without him, we wouldn't be here today
Therefore, I'm not your savior
Your true savior is Governor Zhuo
When each of you had nowhere to turn he asked me to help you
Tieyun is just like...
who you were 10 years ago
We may not care about the resistance or politics but since the governor sent him to Golden Valley
we're obliged to take him in
In that case, there's nothing more to discuss
Master Mao, we offer him our protection
Agreed, protect him
Today it's bandit, tomorrow it's Qing troops
They won't leave us alone
That's why we're here. Let's figure out what to do
We already have nowhere else to turn
That's right. We can't run So let's go on the offence
Fight them head on
Mu-bai, you commanded troops before How long will it take for them to get here?
Less than 2 days from Washicheng
Let's use our time well
Xillian, Liu Xu Escort all woment and children to the mountain
Take provisions with you And all the rest will stay here to fight
Yes
The bandits were taken by suprise this time They won't underestimate us again
They"ll send 100 cavalry units followed by 100 infantry units
Mu-bai, One must know himself and his foe to wind a battle
We may be outnumbered, but this is Golden Valley
We'll use our knowledge of the terrain to destroy them
Let's strategize
- Master Mao! - Mu-bai
Peter Fang is missing
Where did he go?
I don't know, but this morning he mentioned... that the female bandit leader
was wearing a cross He thinks that she's a beliver
Idiot!
God lives in people's hearts Different hearts have different gods
Find him, bring him back
Yes
My Lord, thank you for standing by me Thank you for giving me strength
Please continue bless me...
offer me peace and guidance
and bring me light Amen
You've gone astray, but you can still be saved
Atone for your sins from this day forth
Golden Valley is a quiet place
We only hope to be left alone and to live in peace
You and I are both God's children
Listen to me Don't go, I just want to let you know
We won't suffer the same tragedy again
As long as you're willing, God will protect you
He will be always be there for you
Trust me
The cross you're wearing will bring you light
There will be light and fire in Golden Valley
The Prince's troops are heading there
You...
You won't shoot me
- You get lost - Run!
- Come with me now - Mu-bai, the Prince's troopa are on their way
We must warn the villagers
Time is running out
- Let's go - Go
Over there
Hide somewhere
Mount now
On the roof
Pursue
Stop there
Watch out
Peter
Mu-bai, get going!
That's so cruel
It is...
Keep moving
Come on
Don't stop. You can't stop
You and I are both men, I'm staying
Of course you are, But you have a more important task
You must protect the women and... the children even younger than you, understand?
Don't worry about us. Take care of yourself
Don't be afraid. Just follow me - Be careful
Split up, you go through the pass
Alright
Wuchou, the troops are coming from the pass
Hurry
Be careful, go that way everyone, hurry up
Master Mao, the troops are coming from the pass
Hurry, the troops are here
Keep running
Get down
Brothers, gather arround
We must head them off so the villagers can escape
Where the people?
Just one of you?
I'll take you all on
I'll make sure none of you escape
Ypu're the ones who wont's escape alive - Attack!
Everyone, keep moving
Fire!
Find a way out, Don't panic! There'e fire every where, We're trapped!
Force your way out!
Xilian
Where are my wife and child?
Where's Hu-er?
No!
Move over!
See now?
This is the price your pay for harboring rebels
Why haven't they come to save you?
You, monster!
They really to burn him
God! Give me strength Help me to endure the pain!
Let me not betray you...please
Poor man It's so cruel
Help him
Who dare Don't let me burn alone
I can't watch anymore
How could they burn him alive?
It's my fault
You lived in seclusion, to avoid strife and conflict
But because of my arrival your peaceful axistence is destroyed
So many of you lost your lives
But you don't die in vain, I promise to avenge your deaths
so your surviving family members can life in peace
You're avenging us? You're going to kill the Prince?
Forgive me, Master Mao
but I must break the rules of Golden Valley
I'm leaving
Not just yet
Fighting the Prince on your own is...
a suicide mission
There are some things we need to do if we must die
Enough
I'm not interested in your principles
I just know that you want your gold back and the Prince dead. As for us
we want to avenge
our brothers and sisters and Governor Zhuo
That's way you're not going alone
We're coming with you
Master Mao
I want revenge
Stop staring and say something
Otherwise, I'm leaving
Liu Xiu, I have so much to say to you....
I don't know where to begin
Let me say it for you
Liu Xu, I'm going on mission tomorrow
Will you marry me...Correct?
Well then...will you?
An-le
You're just a country pumpkin
What make you think you're worthy?
Can you promise her a good life?
Master Liu, I may not be exceptional or talented
But I'll spend the rest my life taking care of Liu Xu
I may not be able to offer her wealth or luxury life
but I can promise to keep happy each day
and get her food and shelter
If you ever bully my daughter
Never I'm the one who's always being bullied
What did you just say?
I said I'm willing to be bullied by her eternity
You may be ready and willing
But have you asked how I feel?
An-le, have you proposed to me yet?
How did you get this telescpoe?
Pastor Fang gave it to me
He told me to give to you as a love token when I propose
Master Liu, An-le
wanted to propose to Liu Xu today
But knowing we're fighting the Prince tomorrow
and Fang is still in peril, I just can't bring myself to ask
I don't want to make her a widow
Nonsense! Just promise me this
My father is gething old, Take care of him
I will. Let's get married when I return
I can't wait!
Brat, did my daughter promise to marry you?
Didn't you just say?
Idiot, I said I can't wait...
Racing battle steeds
The thundering of bows
Uniting all under heavens
Achieving immortal fame
Pity that my hairs has turned gray
Good poem
Don't you think this Xin Qiji poem...
perfectly expresses what's in your heart?
I don't know the right path to saving the country
Then forge your own path, The world won't change by itself
Mu-bai, let's forge a new path tomorrow
and herald in a new dawn
Are you really going to ask my father?
Why not?
Father, An-le and I.. - Say no more, go wait for me at home
Listen to you father, go home
Alright
An-le, as Xu means everything to me
as long as she is happy
I'm willing to sacrifice my life
I'm going to Washicheng
so that she'll have a good life and future
Master Liu, I know, but...
Do you really want to marry Xu?
Do you promise to treat her well forever?
If you do
don't go to Washicheng tomorrow
Stay and take care of my daughter
Master liu, I will marry Xu
and take care her for the rest of her life
But I must also go to Washicheng, I don't want any regrets
You don't have any combat experience
Once we arrive at Washicheng
Stay close behind me
I will, Master Liu don't worry that
You come out
Father
Go home
Let me warm this up for you
No need
this wine is not for me, it's for you
On the first day you came to Golden Valley
I asked Ao-tian to save this wine for you
It was buried under the tree at the village entrance
We planned to drink it together on your wedding day
But I must give it to you now
Because
I may not come back alive this time
Promise me
Open the jar on your wedding day
Regardless of where I'll be
if smell the aroma
I'll know that you found a man loves you
and I can rest in peace
Brother, you saved my life
You must attend my wedding
Of course
Guo-er, are you scared?
Don't worry, it's normal to be scared
You know, after I came to Golden Valley
I drank, and caused trouble
because I was afraid
I never told anyone about my past
but I'm telling you now
I'm a survivor of Taiping Kingdom
As far back as I can remember
I was persecuted by the Qing court
My dreams where haunted by blood and my persecutors
But now, I'm not afraid anymore
Because I know I'm going to do what needs to be done
When a man finds his purpose in life
his fear will end
I hope you'll grow up to be a man
who knows what needs to be done
Brother Wu
I know you like me
Will you marry me?
Big brother
What're you doing?
This is Xilian's...
Yes, it's the wedding wine you saved for her
She just asked me to marry her
But I know she did it for you
She wants you to drink this before you leave
Xilian, answer me honestly...
It's true or not?
Look, you brought all these for me to give to Xilian
Today
I'll say it loud and clear
Wu Zhong-e loves Xillian
I love her
but I can't marry her
Because I know she love someone else
She loves you
That's a load of crap!
Xilian
If I've spoken what's in your heart
just not your head
Zhong-e
It's alright, Xilian Don't be afraid
I'll clear things up for you
Zhong-e, Please don't
Brother,
back when you saved her life and her child's
you also saved her heart Regardless of what you think.
Look at her now Since she arrived in Golden Valley
she has never looked at another man
Can't you just honest with yourself?
Do you like her?
Do you love her?
I'm sorry, I don't
All I have is brotherly affection for her
Xilian
Your feeling for me
are based on gratitude, not love
You'll find yourself the right man
I'm not that man
You're lying to Xilian and to yourself
Think you're helping her? Being honorable?
There's huge age difference between us
Besides, we're leaving tomorrow
We may not came back alive
You think giving her one day of happiness
is worth a lifetime of regret You're Idiot!
You...
You just don't understand She waited for you all these years
She just wants to know that you love her Even if it's only for an hour
she'll be happy That's how women are
Zhong-e
If you love her
don't just what you think is right
Do what she wants
where are the others?
Laohu, did you meet with the men on you side?
They should arrive by tomorrow night
Good
Children, come quickly The adults have things to discuss
Hello, sister
Master Mao, everyone has arrived
Sorry for the trouble
I'll watch the children, Just take your time
Childs walk slowly, Be careful.
I've reached out to all my outlaw friends
They're also busy recruiting more men
Some agreed to join us, other refused
Some are undecided
I understand
Don't worry. Your friends are all men of honor
Our brothers in Washiceng are living in oppression
The Prince and the bandits are monstrous
Everyone is barely surviving
Why didn't you fight back?
Watch your manners We were unprepared.
To go up against the Prince We need a leader.
and a good plan, otherwise
we're sure to fail.
We understand what's at stake
That's why we must talk this through to devise a failsafe plan
Then we have to find out were they store the gold first
The Prince's army base is enormous
We still haven't pinpointed headquarters
The Prince is a wily man
If the gold is at the base, he'll have to report to the court.
If it's outside the base, he can claim it as his own
Once we secure the base
he'll take his guards to retrieve the gold
We must take their watch tower
to monitor the gates for signs of activity
tell your men to create a diversion in the city at night
My men and I will attack the base
and draw out the Prince
My men and I will take care of the watch tower
Master Mao, our mission is clear
For our sake and our future, let's fight them.
If we must die, we'll die in a blaze of glory
Laohu, let's proceed once the explosives arrive
Good
What is it?
Highness, Washiceng has quited down
after the missionary was burned to death
But Ajitu didn't return from Golden Valley
Something seemed suspicious
I investigated and discovered that...
someone was amassing explosives
The city's rebels appear to be organizing an uprising
with outside help
The death of the missionary has drawn the rebel out.
Keep watch, kill anyone who looks suspicious
Father
Your business seem to be doing well
You have many visitors
Have you switched to dealing explosives?
Keep my children out of this
You should have thought about them earlier
Sesame bread!
Come get me
What your problem? I'm sorry.
Master Mao, someone's arrived
I'm late
- How could you leave us... - the Qingfeng Bodyguards out the action?
Let me introduce two brothers to you Ke and Tai
Pleased to meet you The brothers outside are all set
It's an honor
They're Shigen and Jinfa
It's been a long time
Master Mao
Laouhu and his family have been murdered
Laohu entire family died because of us
We lost another brother
But gained another There's me.
I will continue Louhu's work I'm going with you.
I've finished preparing the explosives
Thanks, Laochen.
I'm in too
Sister...
You're alive!
Master Mao, count me in.
I'm so glad to see all of you
I know you've all been living in seclusion up north
Just want to leave behind your past and days of swordplay.
And you all succeeded
Yet you've come here tonight
None of you is here for selfish reasons
You've come to fight for your children's future
As men of honor
we toil away and fight for our families
But in turbulent times
no matter what we do, we can't protect our families.
You were hiding in Washicheng
On the surface, we lead a peaceful life
But the truth is, we were blind
and deaf...
we ignored the sufferingnof those beyond the Valley.
Fortunately
Tieyun appeared before us
He made us understand
that we have another choice
we can fight back
Perhaps in a few hours
death may part us from all our comrades here
It doesn't matter, We all die eventually...
of old age or discase
Isn't it better to go out with a bang
and die with meaning and purpose?
Here is the choice tonight
We were all young once
We all had our days in the sun
Is it enough?
We must continue to do... what true man were born to do.
if we can do... Our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren
can proudly tell the world about
their fathers, their grandfathers...
and boast about their days of glory
Louhu
Let's drink this bowl of wine together
If we make it back alive after tonight
we'll drink more. Drink up!
Drink up
Attack the army camp
Let's go!
Your Highness, the rebels have created chaos all over the city
Secure the base and kill them all
The rebels are here, Close the gate!
Load your weapons
Kill!
Master.... - Dont!
I'll bring you down!
Kill
An-le

Master Mao, look
Tieyun and his men broke through the rear gate
Split up and follow the plan. Go!
Yes, sir - Go!

Where is the gold?
I don't know
You're getting old, be careful
You asked me to come
Where is the headquarters?
Where's Boerge?

Hu-er, father will avenge your death
We've looked everywhere, The gold is not in the base.
Definitely in the church?
Take men there now, I'll deal with thing here
Good
I'll kill you
Step aside
You dare to defy me?
Our chief said no one sets foot an these steps...
without her permission
Kill them
Do you thing you can stomach the gold?
Don't worry about me...
think about what to tell your ancestors in hell
Try to stop me, you die
Give me back my daughter Give me back my son.
Give me back my husband
I'm coming
An-le
To your left
Behind you
Your Highness, he's the rebel you're after
You two, don't try to escape
Boerge, you're right, don't try to escape
You stop there
Boerge is doomed. You still want to resist?
Tell me now, Where's the gold?
I don't give a damn about you stinking bastards
I'm the one who deserve the gold
You go to hell
Go to hell
Take the gold over dead body
Go to the church
Come on
I must avenge Master Liu's death
Come on Come on, if you want to die
Mu-bai
Boerge, there's no escape
If I can't make it out alive, neither will you
Go to hell
Get up
Get out of my way
Go to Die
All of you
Kill him now
