GODS OF HONOUR
Liu Pipa pretended to have trouble with her pregnancy
Li Jing's family thus planned to gather the life-saving lingzhi,
from the 6-faced monkeys.
Desperate for help, Li Jing remembers his wife Yin Shiniang.
Be quiet! I know what to do. Go look for the pigeon for me.
Pigeon?
Yes, a white pigeon that goes, "Coo! Coo! Coo!"
It's about this size.
It can deliver messages or be cooked as food! Look for it!
Your mother gave it to me, saying that I could send for her.
I still saw it hopping about just the other day. Where's it now?
You never take care of things which Mother gives you.
Cut the crap! Just look for the pigeon!
Got it, Father! Is this the one?
Write a note and tell your mother what's happened.
Beg her to come back and look for the lingzhi for us.
I'll check on your 2nd Mother. Quick!
What else do you have to tell her?
Tell her to take care. Boys, go now and come back quickly.
Let's go.
What's the Prime Minister up to?
Fishing one moment and planting sweet potatoes the next.
Just plant the sweet potatoes and we can set off for battle.
You've got to dig deeper.
Didn't I tell you umpteen times to try your best in everything you do?
All right. Go fetch some water.
Fire-Spitting Boy there's a pigeon there. Catch and cook it!
Stop!
Are you tired? My poor boy.
Wait. Why this sudden kindness?
I need to be away for some days. May I borrow your Fire Wind Wheels?
Can I lend them just anybody?
You're lending them to me.
You may not be able to control them.
I can! Several times..
You stole them!
No! Your things are mine too! Didn't I bring you up?
Never mind if you won't lend them to me! I will walk!
I'll lend them to you, Mother. Let me go along too.
No need, my filial son. Just lend me the wheels.
Thanks, son. I'll be back soon.
Let's stop waiting. She's not coming.
Depend on ourselves!
Granny, wait a while longer.
She would have come if she had wanted to!
I've fought countless battles! Why can't I handle some monkeys?
Here comes, Mother!
I told you to halt steadily. You keep swaying!
- Mother, are you all right? - Yes.
Mother-in-law.
You've come finally.
Sorry, Mother-in-law. I'm late because I can't control the wheels.
A life is at stake!
Yes, yes. Shall we set off at the hour of "shen"?
The monkeys power is at it's weakest at the hour of "shen".
I'm a woman too, so I know what's on your mind.
I wish to do my part for the Li family.
If you're not going, forget it! I won't beg you!
Granny, please listen to Mother.
Er... it makes no difference when we set out. Let's go.
I'll be the vanguard to pave the way.
Come.
Shiniang, are we already there?
Yes, Mother-in-law.
Mother, look!
- Lingzhi! - I'll get it.
Mother!
So many evil monkeys!
About a hundred of them!
57, to be exact.
6-faced monkeys have great magic skills, but it's only an illusion.
Stay within the circle and there's nothing the monkeys can do to us.
Remember. Be brave yet careful.
Will this circle work?
Don't worry. Once a chance arises, I'll kill the monkeys with one blow.
Remember. No matter what happens, do not leave this magic circle.
Close your eyes.
- Muzha! -Granny
Strike!
Return!
Shiniang
Mother-in-law, I've driven all the monkeys away.
That's good Shiniang, are you all right?
Yes, of course.
Here's the Lingzhi. Take it to Pipa.
Thank you, Shiniang.
Just send me a note if you need my help again.
No need Jing-er and Pipa will settle matters.
Yes, yes. I'm only making a casual remark.
Well, you're right. We should help each other.
Jinzha, Muzha, escort your granny home before it gets dark.
We're leaving. Do take care.
Take care, Mother-in-law.
- Take care, Mother. - Good boys.
Jinzha, Muzha, Mother-in-law, do take care.
You too.
They've been away for almost 3 days. What's holding them up?
Don't worry, Brother. I'm sure they're on their way back.
Jing-ge.
How do you feel, Pipa? Don't be afraid. I'm here.
Jing-ge, I've let you down.
Don't say that.
I've let the Li family down. I'll lose our baby for sure.
You and the baby will be fine. I'll protect you.
- Don't worry. - I'm sorry.
They are back!
How did it go?
Old Madam and Young Masters have come back with the magic lingzhi!
Really?
Pipa, did you hear that? The baby will be safe!
I'll prepare the lingzhi for you. The baby will be fine.
Let's go prepare the lingzhi.
Flying Boy, keep watch here. I'll look for my mother!
Do you know where she's gone.
She borrowed the Fire Wind Wheels from me. Must have gone to Chaoge.
I'm back!
Aunt Yin.
I'm back. Nezha, your mother is back.
Do you get your priorities right?
Of course. We've been told to plant sweet potatoes! Let's do it!
So you should ignore those people.
Who?
Come-off it! Didn't you go back to Chaoge?
What did they ask you to do?
Stop helping them. They won't appreciate it.
It's the last time. We are one family after all.
How can you leave your camp once in every few days?
It's not that often.
But you've borrowed my wheels several times! Don't do it again!
All right. Aren't you more long winded than I am? I'll get to work.
Slowly.
Pipa, how do you feel after drinking the lingzhi concoction?
Much better. Thank you, Mother-in-law.
I'm glad to hear it Our ancestors must have blessed us.
As I said, Sister-in-law is a blessed woman.
We should also thank Jinzha and Muzha for fighting the monkeys.
That was an easy task. We just had to be brave yet careful.
Brave yet careful? If Mother hadn't saved you, you would have...
Watch it! You've just recovered. Pipa, what's the matter with you?
Our whole family dances attendance on you
Why are you suddenly so quiet? You were still cheery just now.
Did I offend you again?
You know what you've done!
It's natural for your sons to go and look for their mother.
But why did she appear?
Let the matter rest since the baby is fine.
No way, I demand an explanation!
I told Jinzha and Muzha to seek Shiniang's help.
Are you lying? Jizhou and Chaoge are so far apart!
Shiniang left me a courier pigeon and told me I could contact her.
Aren't you a fortunate man? You promised to do as I say
and name our baby, yet you were writing to that woman every day!
Aren't you unfaithful to me?
I've only written to her once.
Don't touch me! You used to say women are unfathomable.
What about you greedy men? You want the love of several women!
Don't do this, Pipa
I told you not to touch me!
Calm down Be careful about the baby.
I'm exasperated! I'll abort the baby!
I'm sorry. I'll give way to you, all right?
Don't hurt the baby.
I'll go and slaughter the pigeon Shiniang gave me.
What's the use? She'll keep sending you pigeons!
I swear never to see her again.
If she walks into my house, I slap her and send her flying!
Happy now?
Keep your word!
Have I ever lied to you? I'll slaughter the pigeon now.
No need. Just give it to me. I don't wish to set tongues wagging.
As you wish. Just don't get angry.
Sis-in-law, why are you sitting here in the middle of the night?
Did Brother offend you again?
Ningshang, would you write to Yin Shiniang on Jing-ge's behalf?
Use mushy words. Say he misses her and wants her to come to Chaoge.
Why write such a letter?
She hasn't given up on him and must have badmouthed me.
Surely not? Why would she look him up?
As you know, your brother is soft-hearted.
Just do as I say and write to that woman.
What do you intend to do next?
I'll make her give him up completely.
- Our respects to Your Majesty. - Dispense with ceremony.
Your Majesty, what has lifted your spirits today?
I don't know how to put it Deng Jiugong, you tell my beauty.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Ladyship, your war strategy has worked wonders.
Jiang Ziya's 100.000-odd troops could not make any advance,
Only Yang Jian's 50,000 troops are fighting alone.
Sooner or later, we'll wipe them out.
What has Jiang Ziya's large army been doing?
- Your Ladyship.. - I'll tell her.
My beauty, do you know what they've been doing?
You can never guess!
My beauty, if you guess it right, I'll give you a reward.
Your Majesty I can't beat you in wisdom.
Jiang Ziya and his 100,000-strong army are
planting sweet potatoes!
His soldiers have become peasants!
Jiang Ziya is noted for his great wisdom.
Even the West Marquis has to acknowledge him as Prime Minister.
I thought he was formidable. He's turned out to be a wimp.
Precisely. They think they can deal with me?
Your Majesty, it may be good news.
In the near future, you'll have many many sweet potatoes.
Assemble our officials and discuss methods of cooking sweet potatoes.
I'll throw a grand sweet potato banquet!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Jiang Ziya is really not taking action?
Our secret letter must have reached him.
We promised to eliminate Daji within a month.
Time is running out. We have take action at once.
You said to eliminate my sister,
you need someone with a divine heart.
Who is the person?
- He is Bi Gan. - Bi Gan?
He is an extremely intelligent and loyal man.
Apart from being the King's uncle,
he's well respected for his forthright character.
All other court officials hold him in esteem
and even the King stands in awe of him.
But he's only a man whereas my sister is now a demoness.
How can a mere mortal fight a demon?
As Bi Gan was born on the 10th day of the 10th month
at the 10th hour, he was blessed with a special heart
which protects him from all evil.
It's by no means easy for Daji to do him harm.
That's good news. But who shall we send to inform Bi Gan?
If Daji even knows about your nightmares,
she must have planted spies around us.
To play safe, we have to make the trip personally.
Daji is a woman with strong suspicions
and she's most jealous of the Queen.
It's because the Queen has won respect from all her people.
She's also known for her intelligence and thoughtfulness.
Thus, she plants spies all around the Queen.
But on one particular night, the Queen sneaks out in disguise.
But they have very little time.
They must return by midnight
because Jiang Huan patrols the palace at that hour every day.
Uncle Bi Gan.
Your Majesty.
Dispense with ceremony. This is Lady Su.
As time is running out, I'll make it brief.
Uncle Bi Gan, I hope you'll return to the Imperial Court,
to deal with Daji.
Thank you for thinking highly of me? But I'm now a mere commoner,
unconcerned about affairs of the Imperial Court.
Daji has usurped power and is bringing disaster to our country.
Are you really indifferent to what is going on?
Your Majesty, you should understand my determination.
I resigned from my post to return to my hometown
Like a smashed mirror and splashed water,
the decision is irreversible.
Uncle, Lady Daji is my sister.
But I saw your colleagues being burnt to death on hot furnaces.
Jiang Ziya's army is closing in on us.
There's going to be bloodshed all over Chaoge.
Can you bear to see our people suffer?
Uncle, why have you become so hard-hearted?
Has your divine heart been eaten by the dogs? Bi Gan!
Your Majesty, Your Ladyship, my husband and I are commoners.
Apart from working in the fields,
we spend time making music and playing with our crane.
Though we're not an immortal couple, we're a harmonious pair.
We were never so loving when he was an official.
We lived under great pressure, fearing we might anger the King
or suffer at the hands of Daji.
Now, we've finally found peace and quiet.
So why are you giving us pressure?
I understand your difficulty.
But Uncle, do think of then interests of our country.
Your Majesty, if you truly think of the interests of your subjects,
can you bear to sacrifice our happiness?
Do you make so little of our happiness?
Your Majesty, please leave.
I came with determination,
Unless you oblige, I will remain on my knees.
Your Majesty, why go to this extent?
The snow is chilly.
But more chilled is my heart towards the Imperial Court
Please leave.
The weather is cold. Have some warm wine.
Thank you, my wife.
Why do you look so upset?
Didn't I turn Her Majesty down?
You're sighing because you're worried about the Imperial Court
Do you remember your promise? Please stop thinking about it.
I'll stop thinking about it.
You must be tired. Go to bed.
Shall we tour the mountains with the magic crane tomorrow?
It'll dance to your music.
Your Majesty, what are we going to do?
Time is running out.
Sister will find out if we go back late
Let's go back and come again tomorrow.
We may not have a chance to come back tomorrow.
This may be the only chance.
Your Majesty, what are you going to do?
Your Majesty why did you shoot it?
Your Majesty, why did you smash Bi Gan's zither?
Your Majesty! You killed my magic crane!
If it had intelligence, it would have died without regrets.
If the zither could think, it would be proud of its end.
Why did you destroy them? The crane had been with us for many years,
and the ancient zither was Master's favourite,
Your Majesty, is your eyesight failing you?
Yes, indeed. But Heaven is going blind too!
There are patriots a plenty
but Heaven gave a divine heart to a coward!
Your Majesty, you mustn't reprimand Heaven.
I'm going to reprimand all my subjects too.
It's because they are blinder than Heaven.
They hailed Bi Gan as the most loyal official!
But what is this most loyal official doing now?
He plays with a magic crane and makes music from his zither!
Aren't our people blind to trust him?
Isn't Heaven going blind?
Your Majesty, I've realized my mistake.
Uncle Bi Gan, so you'll help us?
I'll get your official robe ready for the court session tomorrow.
You'll let me return to the Imperial Court?
No one can change your mind, I know.
As your wife, I will supports whatever decision you make.
This is good.
Your Majesty, I'll seek an audience, with the King tomorrow
and petition ten times against Daji!
Will the patriotic Bi Gan be able to save his country?
Meanwhile, Jiang Ziya continues to order his troops
to plant sweet potatoes.
Known for his strategies and wisdom,
what is he up to this time?
We have to obey military orders to plant sweet potatoes, right?
Indeed. We have to obey military orders.
Since, you became Commander-in- Chief
Say that again!
Weed and water the field!
Make way!
Why is your mother fond of carrying night soil?
Shut up and get cracking!
Come and look at this! Quick!
- Hurry! - What's up?
Look!
- A sweet potato! - Yes, it is!
There's one more here! It's huge!
We've got sweet potatoes at last!
Come and help!
Your Excellency!
Good news!
We're harvesting sweet potatoes!
Look!
A harvest at last. Let me take a look. Good!
It's the premium kind.
Your Excellency, we put in a lot of effort.
Well done. But this is not the type I want. Grow again.
This is not the right kind? Why?
Didn't you tell us to plant sweet potatoes? Aren't these the kind?
Just plant all over again.
Flying Boy, the Prime Minister must have his reason.
Let's do as he says and plant all over again.
But which is the right kind?
Precisely! Which kind?
Rest assured that we'll set out for battle on the day of harvest.
I've never lied to you, have I? Go do it again.
How long do we have to take?
Didn't you hear? We'll set out for battle on the day of harvest!
Go and start all over again!
Yes, yes, let's start again. We'll take our leave, Sir.
Prime Minister, why do you say it's not the right sweet potatoes?
Is this a joke?
I wouldn't make a joke of it.
I am just as anxious.
But I reckon the day of the next harvest is the day of battle.
We'll march towards Chaoge and overthrow the tyrant.
Heavenly King, please continue to wait.
We must obey military orders!
Everybody, continue planting!
Son, you've grown up and are more like a general now.
All right, carry on.
It's a pigeon
It's mine!
Thanks.
I, your husband miss you badly.
So mushy.
Give it back to me.
Let me finish.
You went through a lot of trouble to help me.
Let me finish reading it!
I'm grateful.
What are you doing?
There's a love letter for your mother. I'm reading it out.
I'm touched and..
That's enough, Flying Boy! give the letter back to my mother.
Carry on with your work!
He misses you and is waiting for you in Chaoge.
Let's plant sweet potatoes as instructed.
The day of harvest shall be the day of battle.
Listen! Whoever makes trouble shall be punished by military law!
He may get 30 strokes, do you hear me?
Yes, Sir.
Fire Wind Wheels.
Mother, where are you going?
Will you please be more sensible? Think of the overall situation.
So what if you're the commander? Why breathe down my neck?
You wish to execute me, eh? Here, hack off my hands!
I wouldn't dare. Oh, forget it!
What are you doing? Just what are you doing?
I'm going to play with Lianhua. Why bother to plant sweet potatoes?
Be sensible! Don't just think of play.
Didn't you teach me to flout military law?
Be more sensible. I, your son, have grown up too.
Our enemy is in Chaoge Are you trying to help them?
This is the last time, all right?
Out of the question! I am the Commander-in-Chief!
Come on, as you know, your father is a serious person.
Something must have happened. He wouldn't have written otherwise.
Please let me make the trip, or else.
Fire Wind Wheels!
Come back soon.
As soft-hearted as your father.
He's bound to tell me to take care.
Take care.
Oh no, is there something important?
But he didn't specify a place
Slut! Jing-ge has divorced you. We've nothing more to do with you!
How dare you come and seduce him. Aren't you cheap?
- I'm not. - You're not?
So what are you doing here? Slut! Despicable! Shameless!
What's going on? Shiniang?
Mother-in-law, say a word in fairness.
What's the matter?
This woman is still seeing Jing-ge on the sly.
Aren't you letting me down?
Shiniang, how come you're here?
Mother-in-law, it's my first pregnancy and I'm flustered.
I had leg cramp just now but Jing-ge wasn't around to help.
I wouldn't mind if he were on a mission.
But he's actually seeing this woman behind my back!
They were behaving intimately!
That's not true!
So why did Shiniang sneak in at this late hour?
Shiniang, what brings you here?
You slut! Get out of here!
That's enough, Pipa.
You're still shielding her!
You swore to slap her in the face if she ever steps into our house!
- Go on and slap her! - Pipa.
You were lying to me! It was a pack of lies!
I don't want the baby anymore!
Don't do this!
Don't stop me!
Be careful, you're pregnant! You've only just recovered.
I don't want the baby!
Calm down. Get a hold on yourself.
Aren't you cheating on me? You're cheating on me.
Shiniang, please leave!
Careful. Watch the steps.
Hush. You're coughing badly.
Go and sit down there.
I'm fine.
So why are you crying? It might affect the baby.
Shall we send for a physician?
No need.
Don't cry anymore. Jing-er slapped that woman.
I suppose Shiniang has given up She'll stop harassing you.
- Am I right. Jing-er? - Mother.
Don't worry, Sis-in-law. That slap should have dashed her hopes.
She won't come back.
Don't cry.
Mother-in-law, I'm feeling terrible.
Why?
Jing-ge promised to be good to me and the baby.
It was a pack of lies. I've given up hope.
Don't worry.
I don't know what to do.
Things will be fine.
Don't cry anymore. It might affect the baby
What's happened to 2nd Mother?
Go ask your father.
Father, what's happened?
Blame it on your mother.
What has it to do with her?
Yes, what has happened?
Enough is enough! Stop probing! I'm vexed!
Please stop crying. Let the matter rest.
She's coughing so badly.
What are you standing there for? Go fetch a physician!
Hush, stop crying.
It's my fault. The physician is coming soon.
Madam Yin!
Are you hurt? You've hurt your leg.
Just some abrasions. I'm fine.
How did you get hurt? You went home?
No. It's just some abrasions. Don't worry.
But you're bleeding! I'll tell Nezha!
No! You, know he has a temper. Don't tell him. I'm fine.
Help me. Come on.
- Be careful. - I will.
Promise me not to tell Nezha.
Coming up, Bi Gan submits the petitions against Daji.
