Episode 6
What's wrong?
The box is missing.
What?!
Someone put some medicine in the waters.
The security and the police are notified. They've cut the security wire,
opened the safe,
and...
The criminal's method is extremely professional.
I'm thinking...
could it be those people from that day that came into the research compound that stole the box?
What do you think?
You were suppose to patrol last night. Right?
But where were you? Fooling around!
Look! Now something has happened!
How was I fooling around?
I went to do work.
Do you think I wanted this?
Enough. Now is not the time for arguing.
Right now. we need to think on how to get the box back.
Yi team leader, any news from Gao Yao and Xiao Chuan?
No.
Look.
We've found two finger prints on the display shelf.
One of them that has gone through our research is Gao Yao's.
Ah?
My brother's fingerprint?
Fingerprints are not wrong.
We've verified his finger print.
You're his little sister,
I hope you will cooperate with us.
I will ask you two questions now.
When was the last time
you saw him?
Have you had any contact?
Police officer, what is the meaning of this?
It seems like you are questioning me.
Are you suspecting my brother has something to do with this?
I'll tell you, no way can he be a thief!
Gao Yao would never do anything like that.
You've seen the recording.
At the time, it was Gao Yao and Xiao Chuan who took the artifact back from the robbers.
If they wanted to steal the box,
they would have taken it then.
They didn't have to put the box there.
We are aware of the situation you just spoke of,
but right now we must investigate clearly.
The other fingerprint result has come,
it's Yi Xiao Chuan's.
What?!
Xiao Chuan's?
Are you sure you haven't got it wrong?
It can't be wrong.
It seems like their disappearance is not a a coincidence.
Yi Da Chuan, look what you've done!
If it wasn't for you, the box wouldn't be lost.
My brother and Xiao Chuan would not have been made into scapegoats!
I hate you!
Gao Lan!
Brother, why haven't you come to see me if you're back?
Where are you? Quickly come out.
Heavens above, I, Liu Bang...
I am Yi Xiao Chuan...
Upon heaven, we form our alliance. To become sworn brothers. We will share weal...
...and woe
Today we swear, heaven and earth serve as witness.
I am slightly older than you. I will be presumptuous and address you as an elder.
Of course. You are not just older than me by a few years. It's many many years!
Honored Younger Brother.
Big Brother.
Honored Younger Brother.
This is a video of my sworn alliance with the founder of the Hans, Liu Bang.
This is the genuine article not a movie.
If I can upload this on the internet,
I would be more famous than Clinton!
What are you looking at?
Brother, it's not that I do not know shame.
but this time, that I had dared to be so brazen
is all because of one person.
Lu's elder daughter, Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi! He's interested in you!
Shhh. That's what I think.
I heard that Lu Gong's banquet was intended to search for a son-in-law.
Look at my qualifications. What do you think?
I don't need to look, and I know,
you don't fit the requirements.
That's why you need to help me say something.
I can talk to Lu Gong,
but as for the marriage, even if Lu Gong agrees
but if Lu Zhi disagrees,
then there's no other way.
I know it's not easy.
That's why I need you to help me say a few words.
If one day I walk out of here with the beauty,
I will repay you many times over.
Give me two beauties.
Sure! Based on us being sworn brothers today,
I will definitely help you!
I will thank you first.
Thank me after we succeed.
Little Sister.
Elder Sister.
You are going to have a happy event!
Sister, I have been sitting at home all day.
What kind of happy event will I have?
SIster is teasing me again.
I am not teasing! Look!
These. During the Chong Yang banquet, Father
had shortlisted 20 people.
See, he has his eye on this Mr. Chen.
Mr. Chen is not only talented and good looking,
moreover, he comes from a family of officials.
Father is already preparing your wedding.
I don't want to marry.
I don't want to marry some Sir Chen.
Little Sister, what's wrong?
If you don't want to marry Sir Chen then
we can help you choose someone else.
I don't want you to help me find someone.
Actually, I...
have already someone I like in my heart.
I will marry him and no one else.
Isn't that a good thing?
If you love someone else,
you should tell me quickly.
Elder Sister will help you arrange it.
If I say it out loud,
will Elder Sister really help me?
Of course, I will help you!
I am your elder sister. Tell me, who is it?
The person in my heart is...
Young Sir Yi.
Ahh...
Eh, Miss Lu...
Miss Lu, look at Liu Bang!
His appearance is dignified.
You can say he is good-looking. (Rosy lips and white teeth)
Face like a jade, tough and stocky in stature. A man of striking appearance.
Would you say he...
It's all wrong.
I shouldn't exaggerate too much.
Hey, Miss Lu. Liu Bang,
don't just judge him on his appearances.
He is not just anyone.
He is a dragon among men!
In the future, he will be the first Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
If you marry him,
you will be the Empress of Han Dynasty!
And you will be respected and admired by tens of thousands.
I'll say it like that.
How come it's you?
Miss Lu, I am so sorry.
Just now I... w... was..
was protecting you. I didn't want you to get hurt. I didn't mean to do that.
I wished you meant to.
You love to joke.
Right. I have something to talk to you about.
I have something to talk to you too.
How about we go inside and talk.
Ok.
I... I'm asked by someone to...
I'm also asked by someone.
Of course, I have something I want to tell you.
Let me speak first.
Okay, then you talk first.
Mmm (Okay)...
Yi Lang... (intimate way of addressing a male)
What did you call me?
Yi Lang.
Do you still remember the gold silk dress?
That day was the first time I wore it for you
to accompany your drinks.
That gold silk,
I personally sewed it when I was 18.
At the time I just thought
I must wear for my intended.
Oh...
and also, it's also because of this gold silk.
The first time you kissed me.
And just now, you hugged me.
Do you know...
Zhi 'Er has never been this intimate with others before
and my heart
has never been moved that much before?
Besides Yi Lang...
Miss Lu,
you misunderstood.
You misunderstood me.
The first time I
kissed you,
actually I didn't kiss you.
I was... I was especially happy,
you know, because you helped me find the gold silk.
Therefore, I was too excited.
So I kissed you,
and just now, it was an accident.
I bumped into you.
I just saved you.
You know? To protect you.
If I didn't hold you,
then you would fall onto the floor flat faced and be bruised. That wouldn't be good.
Look at me, I... I'm a bad guy.
Yi Lang. You don't need to explain.
Actually... In my heart I've never faulted you.
Anyway...
Yi Lang!
We...
Let's get married.
G... Get married?!
How can we get married?
Yi Lang, if you ask father,
he'll agree to it!
We've known each other not that long.
I don't understand you very well and you don't understand me very well.
Don't you think so?
This... I don't think it will be a problem.
Once we are married,
after some time,
you will slowly understand Zhi Er
and Zhi Er will slowly understand you.
I'll be a good wife
and will always listen to you.
No, no, no!
Let me tell you...
I can't marry you.
What?
Say it again.
I said I can't get...
What? Married to you?
Why?
Why can't we?
What did I do wrong?
No, no.
You're didn't do anything wrong at all.
I'm the one who's wrong.
I...
I already have someone in my heart.
Who is she?
She's...
Say it!
Who is she?
She is that...
I haven't seen many women here. Who can I say?
Is it Su Su?
Su Su.
Su Su?
It's really her.
I know it's her.
Yi Xiao Chuan.
How can you?
I hate you!
Sister...
Young Sir Yi,
you have affection towards me.
I will definitely not disappoint you.
Lu Su. Lu Su?
Lu Su?!
Why is this getting more and more complicated?!
Sir Yi.
Lu Gang.
You've come.
Hurry sit, sit.
For what business are you looking for me?
I came to find you this time
about something big.
I am here to match-make.
Match-make?
Good news keep rolling in today.
Whom are you speaking for?
You have met him, Brother Liu.
Liu. Liu sir
Which serving girl does he have his eye on?
He is not interested in your serving girls.
He is interested in your elder daughter, Lu Zhi.
He only just rejected me.
Now, he is shaming me on behalf of that despicable Liu Bang.
I say...
I say, Uncle.
You don't have to cough
if you don't think much of him.
I will just tell him now.
Liu sir, is a man of unusual ability.
To be able to know him,
I feel honored.
But I do not know anything about his family.
If I marry my daughter away, I think I would have to...
What you mean is...
You do not understand his family background.
- Yes. That is what I mean. - That's great!
I do not know much about his family background either.
Let us call him in here. Let him tell you himself.
Brother Liu, come in here!
I'm coming!
He has been waiting.
Lu Gong, how have you been?
Ah... Good. Good.
I have admired your eldest daughter for a long time.
My disturbance at Chong Yang banquet was out of helplessness.
I only wanted to meet Lu Gong.
Liu Bang is truly sincere.
Hope that Lu Gong will grant my wish.
Sir Liu.
I have heard many rumors about you.
They seem to put you at a disadvantage.
I know that gossip is a fearful thing.
Since the banquet, I have been the target of public criticisms.
But among these rumors, there are truths and falsehoods.
I hope that Lu Gong will investigate thoroughly.
What young sir Liu said is reasonable. But...
How is your situation among your family?
I? I am the third son in my family.
I have set up my independent household but am yet unmarried.
I am currently residing in my elder brother's house.
You don't have a tile above your head
nor land beneath your feet (utterly destitute).
Do you have any plans?
Since Lu Gong has asked,
I might as well share what I think.
Although I am but a small Shi Shui Pavilion Chief,
I don't even have land to stick an awl into (very poor).
But I have an ambition to manage the country.
Currently the Qin king has imposed many taxes.
Hard labor is heavy. Life is hard but the populace does not dare to speak out. The power of the people is diminishing.
If I become an official,
I will first save the masses from these miseries.
To serve the people. To recuperate and to build up.
Sir Liu certainly has a broad ambition,
but I would like to know how will you start?
My difficulty lies in the lack of opportunity to serve the country.
I do not know where I should start,
so I am always muddle-headed and feel depressed.
What are you saying?
Why do you have to rub your nose in?
Fine. Let's not talk about saving the masses first.
Let's talk about how you are to support your family.
Supporting my family?
That is not my specialty.
I've never thought about it before.
Those who want to accomplish great things,
how can they bother about firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc?
Uncle, what my big brother means is,
he spends the whole day worrying for the people and for the country.
So he doesn't have much time
left to consider his own matters.
He is giving up his own family for everyone. That spirit is to be applauded.
But I believe that my brother will spend more time in future
to consider matters like the rice container. Right?
Yes. Yes.
From your words, I have also learnt and benefited much.
When the time comes and your plans take flight,
I will definitely try my best to aid you.
As I am currently making preparations for the school, there are many things to settle.
I apologize for not spending more time with you.
Sir Yi, please escort Sir Liu on my behalf.
I will take my leave then.
When you are free, then I will visit again
to speak of the burdens of my heart.
Good, good.
Uncle, then I'll first see him off.
Ok. Please.
Let's go.
Father, how can you even smile?
That Liu Bang is really too hateful!
He dares to have desire for me!
In the future, I won't let him in our front door!
I thought he was the gifted scholar we couldn't meet in a lifetime.
Father! I can still distinguish between good and bad, black and white!
Not him, then who is it?
(Someone) seemingly far away, but is actually close at hand.
Sir Yi.
You think I didn't think of that?
I have mentioned this to him some time ago.
but he flatly refused me.
Father, I have already decided.
Please help me achieve my desire.
If you really want to marry,
you ought to marry Liu Bang.
Father. What did you say?
I am saying...
between Xiao Chuan and Liu Bang,
you ought to marry Liu Bang.
Father. Are you joking?
Between both of them it's obvious,
Xiao Chuan is intelligent, young, with a bright future.
That Liu Bang is so old, and yet has nothing.
There's a huge difference between them.
Father, are you getting old and muddle-headed?
Zhi Er, before today,
I shared the same view.
But after meeting Liu Bang again just now,
I have changed my mind.
There are three reasons.
Firstly,
Liu Bang disrupted the Chong Yang banquet.
With all eyes upon him, he behaved with perfect composure.
He is utterly destitute, yet he dared to ask for your hand.
Truly, he displays the essence of thick-skinnedness.
Secondly,
Although he is lazy and sluggish,
he has ambition.
Thirdly,
in this request for your hand in marriage,
he was able to engage Xiao Chuan's full help.
It shows that he knows how to judge and use people well.
On the other hand,
while Xiao Chuan is intelligent,
he is too forthright and sincere.
He prefers to take the course of least resistance.
It will be hard for him to build anything.
But Liu Bang has ambition, and manages with great finesse.
He is able to be shameless,
a man who knows how to make use of others.
He will achieve much in future.
It's just that his character is lazy.
He lacks someone by his side
who can help him to realize his ambition.
And you, are best suited for that role.
If both of you work together
you will achieve something great in the future
and our Lu family can gain glory as a result.
Father, all these you say
are purely things that are illusory.
In any case, I have my eye on Sir Yi.
There's no point in anyone persuading me.
I have already decided.
Fine. Let's see what happens.
One day, you will understand the great pains I take for you.
Work quickly!
We will have to open and take in students tomorrow.
You are all dilly-dallying. When will we ever finish?
Elder Miss. Good morning.
Done.
Eh, Big Brother. How come you're here?
I heard that the school will open tomorrow
I came especially to help.
How can I let you personally do these things?
You just have to take a look around,
see if any improvements need to be made.
Ok.
I'll get busy.
I was just saying you, work faster! Hurry over there to take a look!
Don't move.
There's something dirty.
Aiya! Look at you.
Getting your face all messy like a small kitten.
How is it?
Good. A little higher.
Is it ok?
Seems like it needs to be a little higher.
Is this ok now?
Su Su, can you hang them on these two sides?
Ok.
Sir Yi, can you help me hang the lanterns?
I'll help Elder Miss hang the lanterns.
Xiao Chuan will help Young Miss hang the lanterns.
Ah, right. Su Su, I'll help you.
Su Su, I'll help you.
You want to hang? Here...
Hang it slowly.
Hang it here?
Can you do it?
Slowly...
A little higher.
Not right.
Finally, hung it!
Su Su, every time you have a special occasion, must you hang lanterns?
Mmm. Yes.
You need to hang lanterns for weddings too?
My god. Does the little sister like me too?
I'd better leave soon.
My lantern is lit.
Help me hang the lantern.
Move.
It's lit.
You want to hang the lantern right?
I'll let you hang (it).
Seems like as long as Xiao Chuan is here,
Elder Miss won't even glance at me.
No way.
I must think of a way to make Xiao Chuan leave the Lu residence.
To leave Pei Xian.
A smart man will definitely have a brilliant plan.
Lao Ye,
Sir Liu requests for an audience.
Quickly, please.
Please.
Lu Gong.
Big Brother, why are you dressed like that?
I have received a command from the magistrate, to take a group of slaves to Xian Yang.
I came especially to say my goodbyes to Lu Gong.
You want to go Xian Yang?
Yes. That's the centre of the world
Prosperous beyond compare.
You want to go with me?
Going? Why not go?
I particularly want to go Xian Yang.
I want to see the terracotta soldiers and horses,
and want to see Emperor Qin.
In that way, my 'All Scenic Qin Dynasty Free and Easy Tour', can be considered as complete.
When shall we set off?
Can't you see how I am dressed?
The slaves are waiting outside the door
Then give me two minutes. Let me say goodbye to the two girls.
Sir.
Sir, just go without worries.
Don't delay the journey.
As for my daughters, I will relay your message.
This is some money for traveling expenses.
To express our family's thanks.
Looks like Lu Gong had intended to drive me away.
It is my fault for messing around with the two sisters.
Might as well take the chance to escape the mess.
Then I will thank Lu Gong's kindness.
I will not disturb the two girls.
But surely I can pack my things.
Of course, of course.
Wait for me.
Xiao Chuan. What are you doing?
I am recording the scenery of the journey.
Why are you holding the tablet?
I'm blocking the sun. The sun is strong.
Let me find you a straw hat.
No need, no need.
You can carry the bag for me.
Stop joking around. Hurry up. Move. Move.
What is wrong with you two?
Not talking. What's happened?
Father.
Where did Sir Yi go?
It's been two days and we haven't seen him.
Oh, you're asking about him?
He is tagging along as Liu Bang escorts a group of slaves to Xian Yang.
He has been gone for two days.
Xian Yang.
It's so hot. When will we be there?
How far do we have to walk?
Stop, stop.
See what's wrong with him.
Quickly, quickly!
Disperse, disperse! He is having a heat stroke!
Rest for a while.
I say Big Brother,
you are usually lazy and slothful.
Why are you so careful this time?
Is it possible to not be careful?
These slaves must be there on time. Each of them must reach Xian Yang.
If I miss one, we might have to pay with our lives.
Including mine.
Forced labor is so difficult.
They are using such young kids.
Something will surely go wrong.
When you say that something will go wrong.
Isn't that the time for you to realize your ambition?
What ambition?
Eh! What are you doing?
Don't move!
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!
Just stay where you are.
It's none of your business.
If any one of you dares to stick your neck out, I will chop off your head!
Brothers! Let's go help Sir Yi!
Stop!
Everyone listen to me!
If any of the slaves gets injured or killed, all of us will be blamed!
The magistrate wouldn't care if it was to save someone.
Xiao Chuan is my sworn brother.
His kung fu, of course, I know.
Don't try to be heroes.
Just stay here.
Looks like Xiao Chuan is surrounded.
Hopefully, these bandits will get rid of him,
then I will be rid of a thorn at my side.
Lu Zhi will be mine.
I just joined everyone for some aerobics.
That was a warm-up. Now...
my small universe is about to explode.
Repent while you can.
What did he say?
Who cares. Kill him!
Hey! What are you doing over there?
Applaud!
Good!
How was it? I'm awesome right?
They aren't...
To me they...
I am not inclined to (liking men).
I... I say Young Brother.
Su Su?! Why are you here?
Lu Su!
Do you even know
what is the probability of being robbed twice and being saved both times?
It's the same as the national football team qualifying!
But I met up
and both times was you.
I know,
it must be heaven protecting me.
What 'protect'? It's called 'being jerked around'!
I think you should just quickly go home.
If anything happens to you,
how am I going to explain it to your father?
I have already left a letter for my father. I said...
What did you say? Speak quickly! I'm getting anxious!
I said I won't be going back.
Ah?
I want to follow you forever.
Lu Su, listen to me
You can't follow me.
Why?
Look.
I don't have a settled home.
Secondly, I am jobless.
But what is most tragic is...
I don't even know where my own home is
and...
I have a particularly fierce and ferocious girlfriend.
If she knew you were following me,
I would be in big trouble.
I have decided I will only marry you, and you only.
If you are unwilling to marry me,
I will follow Sir forever.
I say...
Let me tell you frankly,
you must force me to say these words.
It's not that I'm willing to say it,
actually,
I don't like you one bit.
But, I heard you say to Elder Sister that
you have someone you like,
and it's me.
The person I like? The people I like are more than the stars in the sky.
I'll tell you,
I was simply cheating your feelings.
Why?
Because I wanted free food and drink.
I've eaten enough and drunken enough now. I don't want to lie anymore. I want to go now.
Ok? Stop following me!
I just look at you and I get annoyed.
Ai! Stupid girl!
Su Su!
Su Su, wake up!
Su Su! Wake up! Don't scare me!
Wake up!
Don't scare me! Su Su!
I've never learnt how to save someone! How am I going to save you?
I'll resuscitate you then!
Ai! You're awake!
Aiyo! You scared me to death!
Is this heaven?
Heaven is closed, they sent you back!
Sir Yi. You haven't gone.
These girls from ancient times, why are they so obstinate?
I only said to her, "I don't like you. Don't look for me."
Then she talked about dying. She even hung herself!
Aiya! I didn't think.
In ancient times, I am equally popular.
Eat some more. Are you going to eat?
How is the younger miss?
I say Big Brother.
Right now, she is physically healthy,
but mentally she has something wrong.
Do you have any psychiatrist's here?
If she's fine, why does she need a doctor?
Why don't you understand?
If we leave, and anything happens to her,
how am I to face Lu Gong?
I heard that the younger sister will only marry you, otherwise she will seek her death.
Right now, only the horse understands me!
It's pointless talking to you.
She has both talent and looks, virtuous in nature.
There's nothing wrong with marrying her.
I am your brother. This matter, I will decide.
You will marry Younger Miss.
That can't do!
What? This is someones life!
This is decided then. I will go back and write a marriage agreement.
Eh, eh, eh! Hey! Big Brother! Big Brother!
If I get you to marry Lu Su, you won't have the chance to snatch Lu Zhi from me.
Aiyo! If this continues
it looks like I will have to run away.
Su Su. Hurry up and go home.
Don't find me anymore.
