" Huang Fei Hong " Episode 38
For centuries, only the emperor deserves the words 'long live'.
There can only be one emperor in this nation.
You!
You want me to be a traitor?
No, such thoughts have never crossed my mind.
Rebellion will get my whole clan killed!
Killing your whole clan?
You are a royal prince.
Killing the whole clan will kill the Guangxu Emperor too.
Liu Hua Sheng, don't you dare cross the line!
I let you stay because I need you to go against Zai Zhi.
Guards.
Guards!
Your Highness, stop wasting your breath.
I forgot to tell you, my real name is Yagyu Seigun.
Yagyu?
You are a Japanese?
When did you start controlling the officers?
You don't have to worry about this.
Perhaps one day, you might become the emperor.
It all depends on how well you cooperate with me.
Your Highness, Huang Fei Hong wants to see you,
we can't stop him.
He is waiting at your study room.
Got it!
Release my apprentices.
I registered your name in the competition.
- Any thought? - I told you.
You can kill me anytime you want. There is no need for tricks.
Fei Hong, you are mistaken. I was just informed about that today.
There is something I need to tell you.
Besides myself...
...Prince Shun is also an organizer of the Nations Lion Dance Championship.
I could care less about the fight between you two.
What I want is for you to release my apprentices.
- He is not the assassin! - I know that.
Guards.
This is...
The real assassin is this man.
This is the phosphorus powder he put inside my lion head.
These are high flammable.
The person in charge of lettuce picking...
...for the Nations Lion Dance Championship is Prince Shun.
I bet he has prepared torches at the scene, waiting to light me up.
But you saw through his trick.
He even signed the consent form out of guilt.
Fei Hong, what will you do if you were me?
Take all needful precautions, so he can't make a move.
However, my cousin may see me as pain in the neck...
...but he never mistreated his servants.
Your apprentices took the charge for him.
He doesn't have a reason to kill this man.
What are you trying to say?
My fight with Prince Shun has long been known.
Why did he choose to act now? Was he following orders?
If so, was I the target of the mastermind behind this plan?
What you mean is, the man behind this...
...made Prince Pu compromise the plan on purpose...
...so you will keep an eye on him and the target is someone else?
This target must be a man with much more power than I have.
His death will cause chaos to rise.
Eventually, the mastermind will be able to benefit from the killing.
Is it the Emperor or the Empress Dowager?
I don't know yet.
It might one of them, or they can both be the targets.
Why are you telling me this?
Didn't you want me to release your apprentices?
Know this, I can't release them for the sake of greater good.
Nonsense!
I know what you want. You want them to let their guard down.
It will look like you are onto Prince Shun.
If that's the case, you must release them.
If I were to release them...
...how am I suppose to continue the plan?
It's been days and they haven't made a move yet.
- Your plan was a waste of time. - That's impossible.
If this is a simple assassination...
...there is no reason to hire someone to sneak in.
This time, it involves the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
We will know as soon as they make a move.
Only and outsider can sneak in right under our nose.
But what you think might not be the truth.
- Troops. - Yes.
From tomorrow on, seal the nine entrances.
No one shall pass without my permission.
Yes.
Halt! Who are you?
As ordered by Prince Shun...
...all prisoners here will be executed tonight.
But we weren't informed about this.
Silence! This is Prince Shun's order. Don't you dare deny this.
Open the gate.
Open it!
Let's go!
No, you can't go!
Your Highness, bad news!
Someone released all the prisoners in the lockup!
They're attacking the nine gates except An Ding Gate.
- Send out reinforcement now. - But the prisoners are not escaping.
They are tossing explosives without even caring for their lives.
Their lives worth nothing.
- I will go there myself. - I will go with you.
Fei Hong, you are here. Once again, we can fight together.
This attack will involves others as well.
I just don't want the people to suffer for this.
- Troops. - Yes!
Release Master Huang's apprentices.
Assemble all the guards. We will set out for the eight gates.
Yes, sir!
Your Highness, the guards are ready to deploy.
- Troops and Horses. - Yes!
Divide them into eight troops and set for the eight gates.
Relocate the troops from An Ding Gate here.
As for the three of them...
...ensure their safety at all time.
Don't be so arrogant, we will see about that.
Let's go, His Highness gave his order.
What about Your Highness? What if they attack the mansion...
Don't worry.
With the mighty Huang Fei Hong by my side, I have nothing to fear.
- Understood. - Understood.
Everyone, let's have our celebration in advance.
Please, enjoy yourselves.
Thank you for your generosity, Prince Shun.
To ensure our victory of the Nations Lion Dance Championship...
...you even risk the sovereignty of this nation.
The current Great Qing has no sovereignty left in it.
I would rather change and pursue some short-term gains...
...than defending that void and corrupted sovereignty.
Prince Shun, you are the man with the most insight.
You must never offend the Eight-Nation Alliance.
You must cooperate with us. In return, we will help you too.
Take a look at how Japan has prospered.
Correct.
Japan became the greatest country in Asia...
...because of the help from western powers.
We respect them.
Unlike Guangxu who accepted our benefits...
...while encouraging the people...
...to learn from foreigners and to compete with foreigners.
He sees us as savages and a pain in the neck.
He even thinks of us as deafs and blinds who know nothing.
I say, he doesn't deserve the throne. You do.
- Do all of you agree with that? - Sure.
So from now on, I'll depend on all of your support.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
What happened?
Horses, how dare you!
It's nothing compared to your ambition to betray us and claim the throne.
Do you want to get yourself killed?
My life is for His Highness to command.
I won't even flinch if he wants to take my life.
The evidence is in my hand.
If the Empress Dowager and Emperor get their hands on this...
...you life will end even if I am to be killed!
- Guards, take him down! - Yes!
The evidence must never be leaked.
What's the matter?
He got into trouble even with our help?
He is but an ignorant fool.
- No! - Forget it.
After all, we wasn't expecting much from him either.
Our trump card will make them awestruck.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- After him! - He went that way!
You set this trap all along. What do you want?
Fei Hong, take this.
What is this?
You can't fight him without your martial arts skill.
How did you get this?
Hui Hui gave you.
Even without her, I don't want you to lose all your martial art skills.
I should thank you for this.
But you chose to give me this antidote at this moment.
It seems like my skills will be quite useful for you.
- Why? You are not coming? - I dare not.
Fei Hong.
You still hate me for killing your friend, Yu Dan Mo?
If I didn't kill him before Zai Qi did that day...
...perhaps you will die along with him.
What?
Zai Qi was the mastermind behind the killing of rebels.
I can't stop him if he wanted someone dead.
But I will never let you die.
Back then, I haven't regain my title yet.
I must be cautious. That was the only option.
I used Yu Dan Mo's death to save you.
Zai Qi would have killed your whole family for helping the rebels.
What you mean is that you killed Brother Yu for me?
- You were helping me? - Believe what you want.
Brother, I was threatened by Liu Hua Sheng.
Please, forgive me for this.
Releasing the prisoners and plotted a coup d'etat.
Each of these crimes will be enough for a death sentence.
How am I supposed to let you get away with this?
Brother, give me a chance to make it up for you.
I will do whatever you say.
Don't turn me in for conspiring with the Japanese.
You choose to work with me just to save your neck?
How about this?
I have been working all day. My shoes are dirty.
Why don't you give me three kowtows and lick my shoes clean for me?
I will forget about everything that happened.
Fine, I will do it.
Do it.
Know this.
I have never begged for anyone's help.
Since I begged for your help, you will pay for that.
Guards.
Take Prince Shun away.
- Yes. - Brother!
Brother!
Have mercy on me!
Brother! Have mercy on me!
Brother!
Please, Brother!
Brother Kick Boxer!
- Brother Kick Boxer! - Brother, your leg...
- I am fine. - Have a seat.
Have a seat, Brother Kick Boxer.
- I am fine, sit down. - Alright!
Where did Little Brother go?
I haven't seen him since you told me he went to the palace for work.
We haven't seen him either.
He is supposed to come back after the job.
This can't be it. I must take a look myself.
I will go with you.
You don't have to come. Just wait for my good news.
You can't just enter the palace as you like.
I will be back.
Who are you?
You misunderstood.
Arrogant fools!
This is strange, where is everyone?
Your Highness!
This is weird, where did everyone go?
This silk is amazing!
This...
Your Highness! Please, let me go!
I beg of you, let me go!
Please, Your Highness! Have mercy!
Don't worry, you won't die.
You will become stronger.
Isn't this what you wanted?
Your Highness! Don't do it!
Little Brother!
After him!
Little Brother!
It's me, Brother Kick Boxer!
Little Brother!
Little Brother, it's me! Brother Kick Boxer!
Don't you remember me?
Look, I bought you a pair of new shoes.
This is the new shoes you have always wanted!
Congratulations, Your Highness.
Now that you have the Blood Dripper...
...you also have a troop of unwavering Grey Ghouls who know no pain.
None shall get in the way of your grand vision.
Xiang Tong.
I shall never forget the sacrifice that you made for me.
Your Highness, please.
I was able to escape Taiwan alive all thanks to your rescue.
Besides, the Five Colours Blossoms that stimulate inner potentials...
...are just something that I came by coincidentally.
If not A Mei used them to help Huang Fei Hong got pass the ordeal...
...I wouldn't have know how to use these flowers for serums...
...and found out their extraordinary effect on human body.
Stand up.
Bad news, Your Highness. We didn't catch the intruder.
- Go after him, now! - Yes!
Master!
Please try my freshly made pork sashimi.
Are you crazy? No one makes pork into sashimi.
Master, you are right.
What do you think about my Rib Slices?
Just get to the point.
Master, I may be training for my Rib Slices everyday...
...but I think the Rib Slices is related to all kinds of martial arts.
Cutting meat requiring good sight, swift hands and a calm mind.
It's just the same as lion dance.
Furthermore, I did some investigation.
The other team's lion tails are not as strong as I am.
What does that mean? They are not as stable as me.
So, why don't you let me be the lion tail for your team?
I am tough and steady.
- I can definitely... - Enough of that.
Your Rib Slices is impressive indeed.
Get prepared to make some soy and pork soup for Gui Lan, it's good for her.
But Master, I was...
This is bad, I am not fully recovered yet.
Are you mad?
Master, I may not be a match for you...
...but I am the best at martial art among the three apprentices.
You can't deny that, right?
So, there are no better candidate for the lion tail except myself.
You attacked me and showed no respect. Yet you want to be the lion tail?
Face that pillar and think about your misdeed.
Go!
What is this? You want to be lion tail too?
That's not it. I am not like the two of them.
Master, I brought you tea. Calm your nerves down.
That's more like it.
Master, have a seat.
- What is in the tea? - Poison, of course.
- Poison? - Calm down!
Master, have a sniff.
Feeling better now?
I added some medicine I bought from black market in this tea.
God Death.
It means the death of the God.
- This is the antidote. - Imbecile!
- Don't underestimate this thing.
This is the latest trump card developed by the westerners.
Think about it, you can be an one man army on the battlefield.
A lion dance won't be a problem at all.
Master, let me be your partner for the championship.
I will make sure you win it with ease.
To achieve a bloodless victory and win success immediately.
- Nothing can stop you from winning! - Old habit dies hard!
You are still using these cheap tricks.
I will teach you a lesson!
- Master, beat him up! - Master, don't beat me!
The Mo Family Code?
This is the Mo Family Code?
That's for sure.
It says that you must obey your wife's order and made her wishes come true.
No, it doesn't.
Read it by yourself.
Anyway, I want to be your partner in the Lion Dance Championship.
- Are you okay with it? - Gui Lan, why are you doing this too?
Master Huang!
- I am looking for Master Huang. - Who are you?
You are here for lion dance too?
Do I know you? Do we know each other?
That's not it. It is a telegram form Guangzhou.
Your father said the older the wiser.
He is coming here to join you in the Lion Dance Championship.
You, all of you!
Master!
Drink it while it's still warm.
Little Brother, my brothers!
I have let you down.
- Stand aside. - Stand aside.
Stand aside.
- Stand aside. - Stand aside.
Little Brother has some thick skin under his feet.
- He needs some god shoes. - That's right.
Is there any hope for my leg?
You can still use martial arts.
When will it heal?
It will heal eventually as long as you take the medicine.
Huang Fei Hong, let me tell you something.
Cripple the leg you treated.
I don't need your sympathy or kindness for this.
Or we can enter the Lion Dance Championship together.
You will be the lion head and I will be the tail.
I didn't treat your leg just so you can owe me for it.
It is neither kindness nor sympathy. Doctor is a virtuous job.
I will treat anything even if it's just cats or dogs.
Besides, you are a human being.
That is your leg. I don't care what you will do to it.
Huang Fei Hong!
I am not sure about my chances to win and survive...
...in the Lion Dance Championship.
I afraid you might not get the glory that you seek.
- I don't need glory. - Then what is it that you want?
Power, status or pride?
None of those.
I know, you want to get revenge.
You want those who took from you to lose more than you did.
I am sorry. I afraid I can't agree to this.
Why?
I told you earlier. First of all, I've no confidence.
Secondly, I'm not sure if the toxic inside of me is fully cleansed.
I can't let you die with me.
So, all these days you refused to let any of your apprentices...
...be the lion tail just because of this?
They are all my loved ones.
I couldn't do it.
You would rather die alone than letting them help you?
Then take me with you!
You and I can be on the same team. We barely know each other.
Even if I die or get hurt, you don't have to worry about me!
I am doing this on my own will.
I just wanted to avenge for my fallen brothers.
Master Huang, I know that you are a good man.
I will never become a man like you.
Therefore, I must not let my brothers down when I meet my end.
Where am I?
Is anyone here? Someone, get me out of here!
Brother, what are you doing to me?
To sedate you.
That's for your own good.
Anger harms the body.
I begged and knelt before you. I even licked your shoes.
- Why won't you let me go? - I need you.
Zai Qi, we are not enemies.
We are partners.
We shall lead this nation together.
- You want the throne? - The throne is for you.
No, I have nothing to do with the throne.
I never had any ambitions. I can't help you.
Among the whole clan...
...we have never been close.
But I know you best.
The more you refuse to have it...
...deep down, the more you wanted to have it.
This is nonsense!
Everyone knows that...
...Guangxu got his throne because of the help from Empress Dowager.
If you have no interest in power...
...why are you trying to ingratiate the Empress Dowager?
Please, I beg of you. Don't hurt me!
I was trying to help you.
You call this help?
The wait is worth something greater.
Don't worry, from tomorrow on...
...I will let everyone know of your existence.
What are you planning?
I want the name of Aisin Gioro Zai Qi to be remembered for generations!
