Lao Cui,
this wine
still smells just as good
as when I first smelled it.
I've said it before,
we won't miss each other again.
As long as you smell this wine
you will definitely see me.
You don't say.
When I drink this wine,
not only do I see an old friend,
it also made me think of many things from the past.
Su Su
has died.
Gao Yao,
don't know if he's alive.
The scent of the wine stays.
The people do not.
Come. Let's drink.
Come.
Nice.
Hey, Lao Cui.
I feel like today's wine
compared to before
is stronger and heavier.
Why is this?
I've changed the recipe.
I added more,
using the worst ingredient to make it.
I understand.
I know, this is called returning to nature.
Then does your wine have a name?
Still doesn't.
What do you think?
Just now before I drank the wine,
I was feeling very unsettled.
But after this wine
went through my throat,
I felt like it took away many of my worries.
Like it was mailed to a very far away friend.
And,
plus your wine was made with mixed grain.
Why don't you call it Mailed Worries' Grain.
How about it?
Mailed Away Worries' Grain?
Ok.
Simply put, it will be call Mailed Worry Grain.
Mailed Worry Grain.
Lao Cui, let me tell you,
if this wine came to our place (referring back to the present),
then it will definitely be a success. Do you know why?
Because the people who buy company shares will definitely drink it everyday.
Once they have a drink of your wine, then the stocks will grow everyday.
Then the stock market will turn into a cow market.
Master.
Mister.
If you buy grain (gu and stock gu sounds similar),
why buy a cow?
That... That is a secret.
You won't understand.
Let's drink wine.
Drink wine.
S...S...So Mr Cui,
what stances were you using?
So, is it so weird,
how can you attack me when you're drunk?
I am a person who loves wine like life.
After getting drunk, I often run into trouble.
So this past year
I've invented a
Drunken Fist, Drunken Sword.
Then...So Mr Cui,
look...> ...? Can I learn?
This sect's kung fu,
normal people can't learn.
Only people who love wine
and really forgets oneself as an alcoholic,
then you can master it.
Alcoholic? Correct.
Lao Cui. Why do I feel that
everything you said is all about me?
Xiao Chuan.
The you before
was not the type who could learn this sect's kung fu.
But seeing you this time,
you've changed and have more character.
Your whole body says, I'm a alcoholic
Fine.
Those words of yours, I can't tell if
you're praising me or scolding me.
However, I am really interested in learning your Drunken Fist, Drunken Sword.
Ok. We will learn it.
Good.
Excellent.
Lao Cui,
your kung fu is better than Jacky Chan's.
I don't know Jacky Chan, ask him to drink with us some time.
Ok.
This time's secret travel, I've understood many things
that you officials do not know.
I must do this more often.
Your Highness is wise.
Qin will definitely become stronger. Minister is like my right hand.
(I) hope Minister can continue the good work
to help ease my worries and help Qin. Your Highness, I will put this to the heart.
Really fragrant wine.
Quickly, look.
Really fragrant wine.
Let's go and look.
I'm the chauffeur.
You should walk in front of me.
Your Highness, please excuse the rudeness.
Mister.
There's alot of people
and there're two horse carts.
Sirs.
We are merchants from afar.
I just saw you two practice swordsmanship.
(We) don't know what kind of stances are you practicing.
Our sword stances
are invented by ourselves.
It's called Drunken Sword.
Ahhh, so what you mean is that,
you have to be drunk to practice it?
That's right. Not drunk, no practicing.
So that means you two have good wine?
Of course.
The wines that we have are all the best.
Since it's like that and we have traveled far,
can you allow us to quench our thirst?
Of course. Tell you the truth,
I've gotten bored from watching him practice.
Go ahead and sit.
Yes, sit, sit, sit. My mister is the most generous.
My sir is the most generous.
How can this wine's fragrance be so clear?
Old brother,
good eyesight.
Let me tell you,
most people's wine,
they like to use the bests products.
The wine's that come from these materials,
look to be pretty, but is not practical.
Our wine, uses coarse materials
and is all natural,
and the fragrance is uniquely clear (crisp).
Here, have a taste.
My mister has not drank yet,
I've just a horse keeper,
how can I dare to drink first?
The king is afraid that the wine might be poisoned.
Why are there so many regulations?
Then, I'll just toast you you guys.
It really is good wine.
There isn't any unusual feelings.
This, this really is...
I've drank countless numbers of wine,
but have never drank wine that tasted this good.
I could't tell, but
your words are not so shallow.
And you have drank that many types of wine?
We've wandered from the north the to south,
and have gone through quite a few places in the Kingdom of Qing.
We really have tasted quite a few types of wine.
Isn't that right sir?
This brother,
what's the name of this wine?
Where can I buy it?
This wine, is called the "Excellent Odd Valley."
This wine is made personally by my friend. You can't buy it anywhere else.
Oh really, then I should really have some more.
Fine.
Today, since we had the luck to meet.
Listen up.
We came here for money, not lives.
Don't play any tricks and give up the money,
and we can let you guys live.
On the Soil of Qin,
under my watch,
how dare this happen?
You bandits
are too fearless!
If you are not afraid to die,
let me kill him!
Don't! Don't!
Your Highness,
there are too many of them. Avoid them for the time being.
Bravery is commendable,
but you, being used as a shield,
that's dying for nothing.
Move aside.
Let me finish off these thieves.
Yes.
Don't move.
San Bao,
over to you.
Older brother,
do you want to drink with me?
No. Don't want to? Then forget it.
Let's go. Save your life.
No need to chase the poor bandits.
I want to kill them to vent my anger.
Hey brother, their crime is not worthy of death.
Just let the government officer catch them.
Yes, don't let their filthy blood
stain you precious sword.
Killing them all
is not enough to vent my anger!
Elder Brother, your heroic spirit is great.
You really are a true hero.
Let's drink to meeting each other today.
That's a type of fate.
Come, I'll toast to you.
Come.
Today, we are lucky that you moved into action.
How do we address you?
...to repay you?
Don't worry about it.
You must remember,
I'm a friend of the God of Wine.
San Bao,
we should leave now.
Lao Cui is still waiting for us.
We will meet again someday.
Until we meet again.
Mister,
please wait.
Mister.
When can we meet again?
Your Highness,
I just returned from a trip.
At Lan Chi (Orchid Pond), we ran into bandits unexpectedly.
I am not in a happy mood.
Ask Li Fei to come here
to chat with me and relieve my mood.
Your Highness,
Empress Li Fei.
What's happened to her?
After Your Highness left for your trip,
the palace was hit by the plague.
Some of the palace maids were infected and died after that.
Now Empress Li Fei's health
has also been affected.
How is Empress Li Fei?
Empress Li Fei is very sick.
She is unable to get out of bed.
I recently acquired this beauty.
I cannot lose her.
Come.
Everyone, you've seen the announcement from the palace?
What is it?
Empress Li Fei is ill.
Whoever can cure her
will be richly rewarded and conferred titles.
Then we should go and try.
Us? Go and try? Don't joke.
Even proper doctors dare not go.
Don't say us.
Why shouldn't we go? Such a good opportunity.
What a good opportunity? Let me tell you,
if you go you will die earlier.
I heard that the plague is going around the palace.
If you get infected, you will get a fever and cough,
and then you will undoubtedly die.
Right now, no one knows
how many servants have died from the illness.
Eh, right.
If you want to become a palace eunuch,
there will definitely be openings.
Then, you go.
The Empress has got this plague.
Now she is on the verge of death.
Really?
Then what about the palace's imperial physicians?
They can't help either?
Don't mention them.
The palace's imperial physicians
can't even help themselves.
Some of them have died from the illness
and some have been beheaded.
His Highness loves his wife deeply.
So now he has no choice
but be forced to
issue an announcement to look for famous doctors.
Didn't you want to go and try?
Here you go. The announcement is right here.
Go. Go try.
You're really going? You're not scare of dying?
Mister, wait for me. You can't go!
Add a little more "Lou Lan" spring water.
Revival!
Lao Cui.
Hey,
you're back.
Lao Cui, I have a problem for you.
Leave, leave, leave.
I'm in the midst of researching a new medicine.
Apply a little on the face.
Lao Cui!
I don't have time to research with your whatever cosmetics!
Look at this.
This?
Early in the morning I've already noticed talking.
Within seconds,
the whole Xian Yang city
is covered by them.
So, it's this announcement.
Then why are you not concerned?
Eh? That's not right.
Why are you in such a big rush?
I can't clearly explain it in one or two words,
but no matter, you must help me.
I know in this world,
you are the only one who can save her.
But I heard that
every imperial doctor who went to treat the illness,
not one came out alive.
As for me, firstly, I don't care about riches.
Secondly, I don't care about titles.
Why should I take such a big risk?
If you want me to go,
you must give me a reason. Convince me.
Didn't you say before that
the more difficult an illness to cure, the more you want to cure it?
The plague this time
is considered the most difficult kind of disease.
That seems like an acceptable reason.
But,
you ust complete three tasks.
Then I might go.
Okay.
Even if it was 100 tasks I would still promise you.
Don't be happy too soon.
These three tasks,
any one of them will put you in a dilemma.
Do you believe it?
Let's say the first task.
I need some
horse blood.
Just this little bottle.
Okay.
Stop!
The horse blood I want
is not from a normal horse.
Have you heard of
our great Qin's first fine colt,
Hei Feng?
That is, Meng Tian, General Meng's mount
which can go a thousand li by day and 800 li by night.
That's the one.
You want Meng Tian horse's blood?
Meng Yi,
you've finally come back to this family.
I knew
this day would come.
Meng Yi's home is very grand.
But, I'm not Meng Yi
and this is not my home.
What did you say?
Didn't you tell me
if I ever was in trouble,
I could come to you?
Right.
That's what I said.
What help do you need?
I need Hei Feng's blood.
Why?
Li Fei is sick.
Her health is very weak.
Only Hei Feng's blood can cure it.
If it wasn't for her,
I wouldn't have come here to find you.
Help me with this favor.
I'm helping you with this favor,
but it's not for Yu Shu.
It's for the sake of Great Qin's Li Fei.
You must forgive me.
I can't let Yu Shu die.
I must save her.
This is a secret between the two of us.
I don't like to owe other people.
This favor, I'll return to you.
You don't need to return anything
because we're brothers.
I'm sorry.
I've disappointed you again.
I'm really not Meng Yi.
Meng Yi,
when will you change your views?
Mister!
I've brought it back for you.
Aiya, this is what I've been dreaming of getting.
Hei Feng's blood
Why is it still warm?
Of course it's warm.
As soon as I got it, I came back here.
Eh, weird.
Totally unbelievable.
Mr. Cui,
have you heard of thieves
stealing early in the day?
Go, I will go.
Why are your clothes not ripped?
Yeah, are you hurt?
Let me see.
Not even one injury.
Come, let me feel your pulse.
How strange. Not even any internal injuries.
What are you all fussing about?
No, no, no.
Say the second task.
Ok, I will tell you the second task.
Say the second task.
The second task
also requires you to get one item.
Mr. Cui, you aren't going to let us go steal something.
This thing, firstly won't bite,
and secondly, it won't kick people.
Bao Er.
You can help with this task.
That's great!
Mr. Cui,
I haven't stole anything in a long time.
My hands are a little itchy.
I need
the luminous pearl in the royal palace.
A rare item,
it's said to have an effect on replenishing blood.
Okay, I will steal it for you.
Sir, Sir.
This time
we have to go to the palace to steal it.
You're not going in broad daylight are you?
I'm going at night, of course.
Hey, this is a luminous pearl.
At night, it will automatically glow.
It is expensive.
It's guarded by eunuchs at all times.
If the light goes out,
they will immediately notice you.
When that happens,
don't even think about leaving the palace alive.
Aiyah, then...
Sir,
then how are we going to steal it?
If I can't think of a plan,
he wouldn't let me steal it then.
Customer, what would you like?
Do you have a luminous pearl?
Yes.
We have big ones and small ones.
It's finished.
Sir, it's really high.
After the time period of burning half a joss stick,
they will come back to check on it again.
We must get it before they come back.
I understand.
Sir, what is that?
This is called a pulley.
Hold this
and slowly let me down.
Understand?
Yes.
Sir, be careful.
Is it okay?
Can you lower it a bit more?
Okay.
People are coming.
Pull me up.
The rope is stuck.
Aiyah, damn rat scared me.
Looks like we must bring a cat here in the future.
You wanted two things.
I've brought them to you.
Quickly, say the third task.
Very good.
This is the medicine to cure the plague.
Take it.
What?
You've prepared this medicine already?
You didn't tell me.
That horse blood, and that luminous pearl,
wasn't it all to make medicine?
Correct.
But I never said
those two things
were needed for the medicine for the plague.
Do you know?
When I got the horse's blood for you,
I begged the person I didn't want to beg the most?
When San Bao and I went to steal the luminous pearl, we almost died?
Now you're telling me those two things aren't for the medicine.
You thought too much into it.
Fine. You were using me.
Yes, I was using you.
Have you heard,
not scared of being used? Scared you are of no use.
Now, I still need to use you
to do the third task.
Do you think I'm stupid?
I already have the medicine.
I won't do as you say.
I think that this task,
You don't want to reject, and you can't reject it.
Furthermore, you'll be unwilling to reject it.
Is that so?
I'll lose my life to you.
What has been said cannot be unsaid.
The third task is,
you alone take the medicine.
You alone go into the palace.
You alone treat Empress Yu Shu's illness.
I will naively stay at home and drink some wine
and wait for you to come back.
What do you think?
How can I reject it?
I can't hear.
Are you rejecting , or are you not rejecting?
Even if you didn't say it,
that was what I wanted to do anyway.
Your insignificant life will soon be returned to me.
Xiao Chuan, I'll give you eight words.
With no worries there will be peace. With worries there will be chaos.
So, while I'm the God of Wine,
you are the turtle in the winepot (you are trapped).
What is going on?
It's been a few days already
and still nobody dares to respond to the royal notice?
Fine.
I will raise the reward.
You Highness, a doctor has finally come to help.
Take him directly to Empress Li Fei's palace.
No need for him to come pay his respect to me.
Yes.
Go quickly!
Court guard,
this is the doctor who's here regarding the royal notice.
Quickly, go.
The two of you listen clearly.
This door you can go in,
but you can't come out,
unless you both die in there.
Or, if you cure the plague,
you can come out.
I'm not going in.
He is going alone.
Xiao Chuan,
after being together for a long time, we have to part.
I can only be with you to here.
If I get out alive,
I will definitely find you to settle this.
Remember,
the medicine you are taking in
can only cure Empress Li Fei.
So you, by all means, cannot get sick.
Why don't you make more?
That way you can save more people.
Listen to yourself.
Do you think such good stuff comes by easily?
This good thing here
took me 10 years to get it completely ready.
Eh right. Wear this mask,
it might help you so you won't get infected.
Many thanks.
Open the door!
Eh, that...
Everyone be prepared.
Any unauthorized person that comes out, kill without mercy.
You must look out for yourself.
Take good care of yourself.
The last time,
it was a woman who sacrificed herself for you.
This time,
for saving another woman,
you are sacrificing yourself.
Next time... Next, next time?
It looks like
I have to look for a new drinking partner.
I beg you Doctor. Please save me.
I beg you, Doctor.
Don't go. Save me.
Save us.
I beg you.
Yu Shu.
I've come. I'm Xiao Chuan.
I...
Am I in a dream
or in reality?
Or...
I've died already?
You're not dead. You're still living.
Look.
Aren't I living right in front of you?
Xiao Chuan,
it's really you.
It's me.
Let me touch your face.
Why are you here?
I got the medicine and came to cure you.
No, no.
Quickly leave this place.
If you get this illness,
no one lives.
Yu Shu!
Quickly leave!
I don't want you to get this illness!
Yu Shu, don't be like this.
Yu Shu, listen to me.
Since I'm already here,
I can't even think of leaving alone.
If anything, the both of us
will die here together.
Or I'll cure your illness,
then I'll leave.
This...
This is not worth all the trouble.
No. It's no trouble at all.
Being able to see you,
my heart is sweet (I think it means happy). Do you know that?
A saying describes this well.
Life is really precious
but love is even higher.
Life is really precious.
Love is even higher.
Mmh.
Well said.
Do you know?
If I have to live the days without you,
life to me has no meaning.
These few days,
I can only drink recklessly,
oblivious to what's around me.
Everyday, I am in a blur.
I am the same way.
Everyday, I am like a zombie.
Yu Shu,
why live so long?
If one day,
as long as we can love well,
even if you gave me the whole world I wouldn't want it.
You . . . are my whole world.
Save us! Someone come and save us!
Go and see what's happening.
Finish the medicine first.
Wait!
You forgot this.
Doctor, I beg you. Please save my big sister.
I beg you!
I can't save her. She's already dead.
Big Sister.
As long as I am living, I will find Xiao Yue.
How are the people outside?
The soldiers are getting less and less.
Listen to the cries outside.
Aren't they getting less and less?
That's great.
This illness can really be cured.
Of course, it can be cured.
So your illness
will get better soon.
With you by my side,
my illness will definitely get better.
Empress, Empress...
I beg you! Please save me!
How dare you
rush to the Empress' chamber?
I don't want to die! I want to live!
I want to live Doctor, please save me!
Aren't there less and less people sick?
All those that got the sickness have almost all died.
Of course, it's getting less and less!
Get up!
Stop talking nonsense!
The Empress needs to rest.
Get out!
Empress... save me!
What is going on?
