Kang, let me ask you
Are you sincere about Nianci?
Teacher, need you still ask?
lf you are, you must marry her according to the traditions
l do want to do that, but...
Are you afraid that Wanyan Honglie will object?
You want her to believe in you
but yet you can't even do a simple thing like this. No wonder she's mad at you!
l'll think of a way to handle my father
But... Nianci has to meet me
You must try to make her happy
Everything is fine when a woman smiles
Listen up, this must be carried out quietly
The little prince mustn't know anything about it
Yes
- Your Highness - Your Highness
Hold it
Kang, you're back
Did you ask them to kill Mu Nianci?
What?
ls that what you ask them to do?
You must not be so rude in front of me
lf anything should happen to Mu Nianci
Whether you did it or not l will hold the three of you responsible
So you better pray that Mu Nianci lives a long life
Kang, l'm doing this for your own sake
So you did tell them to kill her
There are so many beautiful women around lf you agree
so many lords willing to betroth their daughters to you
Why do you choose to love a Han? lf father finds out about this
both you and l will get into deep trouble
What is love?
l'm sure you know better than l do
Did you not fall in love with my mother?
How dare you!
Your Highness
There's trouble, Your Highness
Your Highness, l had asked a servant to bring food and wine to my uncle
But he killed the servant, saying that he was disturbed during his training
Why has Mister Ouyang's temper become so bad?
Yes, he has been training all day and night for the past few days
and hasn't stopped to rest lt must be affecting his health
Someone should talk to him
- Sha Tongtian, stay here - Yes
Should it be Shao Yin channels
before and after Zi Wu
And closure with the Water ways
That's not right. Why?
Why isn't it?
Uncle
Get out
Mister Ouyang
l want all of you to get out
Master Ouyang
Your uncle is indeed emotionally unstable
l think we have to let him rest in a place that is peace and quiet
Father means well please don't misunderstand
We're just afraid that the human traffic here will disturb your uncle further
You're right
l think l should take uncle back to White Camel Mountain right away
Besides, l need some time to rest too
lf you leave, we would lose an able right-hand man
Don't worry, Your Highness
When uncle is better, we'll be back to help you achieve domination
Nianci, you're going out?
l'm delivering the cloth to the store
Did Kang leave late last night?
Are you not willing to forgive him?
l've made up my mind
No matter what, Kang and l will not have
a happy ending
We shouldn't let things drag on
This is better for him, as well as myself
You are up so early
- Sir, please check the goods - Alright
Boss
Don't be mad, l'm not talking to you
How much are these two bales?
Five taels of silver
Alright, l'll give you ten
Thank you
This is a note for one hundred taels
l want 20 more bales
- l need them in 5 days - 5 days? That's too soon
Then you should beg she to do it
She's soft-hearted lf you beg, she'll agree to it
- Yang Kang, you... - Are you talking to me, miss?
Despicable
- Good morning, brother Wangcai - Good morning
- l'd like to buy some pork - Sure...
l'll give you a bigger portion
Making soup?
Thank you
Boss, isn't that portion a little too big?
That's way overboard
Let me do it
l'll weigh this
Businessmen must be honest
There, it's the right weight now
Here, take this and make soup to nourish your throat
l know you're dying to scold me so you should drink soup
My pork...
Do you remember? You lost to me during the duel
Even if l don't marry you you can't marry anyone else
especially not this butcher
How dare you flirt with him? What do you take me for?
Nianci, are you hurt?
Don't cry, Nianci l won't tease you anymore
Go away, get lost
Alright, l'll leave. Don't cry
Did l scare you?
l didn't mean it, Nianci l was just playing a prank
Nianci, you can scold me
You'll feel better
Nianci, scold me
Your Highness
- l beg of you - What's wrong? Tell me
- Please let me off, Your Highness - What do you mean?
Please let me live the rest of my life in peace
Please
Do you still think l am not serious?
Nianci
You've saved me risking your own life
so let me take care of you forever
Are you able to give up wealth and power for a woman?
l can have the best of both worlds
You're not only lying to me but also to yourself
Would your father ever agree to it?
No, he'd never approve of us
and will do everything to tear us apart
But as long as we're true to each other no one can tear us apart
You depend on him for wealth and power
lf you fall out with him you'll lose everything
Kang, we've walked the wrong path for too long a time
We must not carry on
Nianci
From today onwards
we'll go our separate ways
lf you truly love me
you should listen to me
and don't look for me anymore
Alright?
Your Highness, the prince has been looking for you all morning
You must serve father well after l'm gone
Where are you going, Your Highness?
Father
Where are you going?
Father, l'm not filial
but Nianci has saved my life before
l cannot let her down
Since you don't approve of us
l will marry her as a commoner and lead a simple life
You're going to give up everything for a woman like her?
Yes
Our Jin Empire is facing war with Mongolia This is a crucial time
How can you be embroiled in affairs of the heart
and forsake the country?
Father, l have always given priority to you and the Jin Empire
But l don't understand
why affairs of the heart and country cannot coexist?
My departure now is my last resort Please forgive me
l need to send cannons to Yanjing tomorrow
l'll let you handle all the matters here
Father, please get someone else to do it
l'm leaving tomorrow
The most pressing matter is to track down the Book of Wu Mu
Father
Have you agreed to my marriage with Nianci?
l don't want to see her
Don't bring her back to Yanjing
Everything else is up to you
Kang, you're not a kid anymore
l should no longer make so many decisions for you
- What's happening outside? - l don't know
Congratulations
What are you doing?
Miss, please get changed The auspicious hour is near
Don't be afraid
She's my teacher
Yang Kang, why don't you understand?
Why are you here?
l'm marrying you
Hurry up and get changed We must go through the rites
You...
Nianci, Nianci...
Yang Kang, stop playing pranks l've had enough
Pranks?
You wanted a proper wedding You wanted proper status
Now, we're doing everything the right way
What else do you want?
Nianci, believe me Father has changed his mind
Nianci, you've waited a long time for this
Do you think l'm a child?
Don't put up an act for me
l'm not, Nianci
Father was going to come, but he was summoned back to Yanjing
lt 's my duty to go along too
But l wanted to get this done as soon as possible
And l've told the whole village as well
l want them to know l'm marrying a good wife
Who's marrying you?
You can't just have me back whenever you want to. Who do you think l am?
Nianci, having one true love is more precious than any treasure on earth
What else do you want from Kang?
Nianci
Teacher, please take care of her for me
Don't worry! No one will bully her while l'm here
Kang
Nianci, you're up early. Sleep some more
You're leaving?
l have something to attend to l'll be away for a few days
Why are you staring at me like that?
l'll come back for sure, silly girl
You can't blame her lt's the first day of your marriage
l've an idea
Take her with you, and both of you can take care of each other on the way
l can't. l have serious things to do
Can't you do serious things with your wife around?
Nianci, l'd love to take you with me
but you'll be in danger if you come along
l'll be back in a few days
Then, hurry back
l will
Teacher
- Old lmp - Teacher
- Brother Zhou - Teacher
Teacher, Brother Zhou
Look
l've gone out to play with your teacher
He's recovering very quickly
lt's all because of me So don't worry, Old lmp
l wonder where he's taken teacher How infuriating
Although Brother Zhou is a little crazy he still has common sense
Teacher is in safe hands with him
Sir, your food is here Let me know if you want anything else
Rong-er, Rong-er
Have some food
How about l cheer you up with ajoke?
There was a man who was walking along
when two fishes fell out of the sky
He looked at the sky and thought that the tree nearby had fishes in it
So he climbed up to catch some fish
Don't you think the man is stupid?
lsn't it funny?
Father has told me this story many times
l'm sure Master Huang tells it better than l do
Don't try to persuade me
lf he doesn't approve of me being with you l won't see him
Let's finish our food and look for teacher
How do we start?
lf we're still at the Cloud Manor We could ask Brother Lu to help us
But we are not there anymore
Have something to eat l'm sure we'll find teacher
What do you want with Mister Qiu?
l want to know where Tianshan Snow Lily is What about you, brother Li?
l'm looking for a traitor from our Sect who has escaped
Thank goodness for Mister Qiu's Xianyao Hall
He knows everything
lf not for him, we wouldn't know where to find out information like this
Let's hurry. Mister Qiu accepts meetings with strangers only for a few hours
Yes, let's go
- Waiter - Yes?
- Who were those people? - l'm not sure
That Xianyao Hall...
Xianyao Hall is owned by lron Palm Sect Leader, Qiu Qianren
Apparently it's full of traps And Mister Qiu seems to know everything
Many people go to him for help
(Xianyao Hall)
Xianyao Hall
'There is nothing unknown to me'
'There is none who can beat me'
How audacious!
Qiu Qianren doesn't seem very humble
We'll find out when we go in
Master of Xianyao Hall, lron Palm Water-Walker, Mister Qiu Qianren arrives
Our respects to you, Mister Qiu
Please rise
Mister Qiu, l heard you've opened Xianyao Hall for the convenience
of martial artists in the world
That's right
l've trained hard on lron Palm Peak for 20 years
and am accomplished in martial arts
But there is one thing l've yet to do
which bothers me
What is the matter troubling you, sir?
Before my teacher passed away he instructed me that
l should do something good for the pugilistic world
So you set up Xianyao Hall for us to share information?
My mind is at ease now that l've done something good
Who are your spies? ls your information reliable?
l have spies everywhere from the far north to the deep south
No news in the pugilistic world will escape the ears of my spies
Mister Qiu, l have a request
l wish to know where Tianshan Snow Lily is
Master Ma, do you know the rules here?
What are the rules?
Let me explain to you
lf you have a request for Mister Qiu you must have a sparring match with him
lf your skills are deemed good enough he will help you
After you, Mister Qiu
Please
This guy's sword skills aren't too bad
He is the Water-Walker indeed
Master Ma, l'm afraid you fell short of my requirements
l'm sorry, l can't help you
Li Lunru pays his respects l have a request for you, sir
- You know the rules - Yes
- After you - Please
lmpressive
Brother Jing, let's do it
Elder Qiu, Huang Rong pays her respects
So, Miss Huang and Master Guo are here too
Do the two of you need some information that l can help with?
Yes
Choose your weapons
We wish to spar with bare hands
- Then... - What do you think?
Very well
But l am an established martial artist
lf l spar with you young people with my bare hands alone
l will be the laughing stock of the pugilistic world
l have a Wooden Men Trap which will be a good test of your skills
But... Sir
Please come with us
Brother Jing
Not bad, at all
Your skills are extraordinary indeed
to be able to pass the Wooden Men Trap
Not many people in the world can do it
Really?
By the way, l heard you know everything in the world
- ls that true? - Yes. Look over here
You rely on pigeons for passing information?
Yes
l have contact points everywhere from the north to the south
There is nothing in the world that l cannot find out
l see
However, not everyone is lucky enough to receive our assistance
Like those two men just now
whose martial arts are not good enough and l will not help them
So we are lucky enough, are we?
Miss
First, listen carefully
For me to help you l would require payment for my services
You're right, sir
l don't mean payment with money
l want to learn one skill from each of you
That's weird
lt is, a little
l am insanely passionate about martial arts
and l've set up Xianyao Hall to earn payment like this
Mister Qiu, you're extremely highly-skills already
One can never stop learning
So, what skill do you wish to learn?
That depends on the information you require
We want to know where Hong Qigong is
- Beggar Sect Leader, Hong Qigong? - Yes
Hong Qigong's skills are amongst the best in the world
He's been missing for a few months and no one knows his whereabouts
- l have news of him - What?
You're close to Hong Qigong, aren't you?
Has he ever taught you any of his formidable skills?
Yes! 18 Dragon...
Brother Jing
lf you can teach me the 18 Dragon Subduing Palms
l will get you news of Hong Qigong
How can we trust you?
lf you don't believe me
there is a backdoor and you can leave
Brother Jing, how can you teach him teacher's ultimate skill?
- We have no choice - Then...
Are you done discussing?
No
- lf you don't believe me, leave now - Mister Qiu, wait
Qigong will be angry if we teach you
But we can't miss this chance
- Will you let us think about it? - Alright
Go to the guest room and consider it
l will wait for your answer
