Yuan
Leader... general Sun is here
Leader
Uncle Sun. You may go now
Yes
King Rush's army has surrounded Beijing
What are you going to do?
Actually l haven't had King Rush's news for days
l don't know what we should do now
Leader, look
King Rush's army's knife
Here is a secret letter
Brother Li
Stop
Who are you?
l'm Yuan Chengzhi. l come to pay my respect to King Rush
Any proof?
This is King Rush's army's knife
You kill my dad if you kill
You rape my ma if you rape
Brother Yuan
We meet finally
Brother Li Yan
Brother
l heard your voice before seeing you. You are extraordinary
l'm flattered
King Rush is waiting for you. Let's go
Let's go
Stop. Who are you?
Hu, this is the commander of Golden Snake camp
Snake King Yuan Chengzhi
King Rush asked him to come
You must be searched before you see King Rush
lt...
Hu is King Rush's bodyguard. People call him Flying Fox
Precautions against assassins...
l'm sorry
Okay
No need to search. Let Yuan come in now
Damn you, Li. lt is my duty not yours
Good...
King Rush has heros like you. The great cause is a surefire success
Do it
You may go in
Let's go
King Rush, this is Yuan Chengzhi
King Rush
General Li told me you were a young hero
Good
Great
Brother Li flattered me
He didn't
Golden Snake camp became famous in less than 1 year
l am King Rush's subordinate. l must rush the enemy
l am willing to be a soldier of yours
A soldier?
You are Li's brother then you are my brother
We will capture the whole country together
You have the country in hand
Come on, sit down
Sit down
Why did you ask to see me at midnight?
Do you know who is guarding Zhangyi Gate?
Li Guozhen
Li Guozhen? The chief who killed himself when we attacked Chongping
That was Li Shousao, he was Li Guozhen's nephew
They have backbone
l wanted to talk to Li Guozhen
Your troops have surrounded Beijing
You have the city under control
Why will you waste your time?
King Rush cherishes the people. He wants no more battles
so he wants eunuch Du Xun, who surrendered to us,
to negotiate with Chongzhen. He doesn't want the people to suffer
l admire you. You care about human sufferings
lf we can negotiate peace
We will cease fire. Chongzhen and l will divide the country
lf we can't, l will order our army to attack Beijing
Everything will perish then but l am not to blame
You cherish the people. Chongzhen may not
Yuan, you must follow our former plan
Get ready to help King Rush capture the city
Yes
That's it
Yuan, it's late. l won't keep you
When we succeed,
we will get a crock of good wine and get drunk
l'm flattered
l will be waiting for you inside the city
Good
Du Xun, how dare you come back
Your Majesty, l have something to say
Say it
l was the inspector
Thousands of people would have died if l had obeyed your order
They survived because l disobeyed you
l have never killed an ant in my life
When King Rush... Li Rush's army
charged at us,
l wet my pants
Your Majesty...He has an irresistible army
You should make plan for yourself
What are his terms?
He wanted you to cede territory
Cede territory? How?
He wanted the northern west territory
He asked you to give his troops one million taels of silver
They will wipe out the bandits for you
He is a bandit
Yes
He will wipe out the bandits
and help you resist the enemy outside the gate but...
But what? Tell me
But he won't be summoned. lf you don't agree to the terms?K
Then what? Tell me
l have heard lots of rude remarks
Tell me
lf you don't agree, he will attack the city
And ask you to abdicate
Wei Zaode
Yes
What do you think of this accord?
lt is an emergency
Just give me your opinion
Tell me...
You say nothing
Are you afraid to be blamed because you cede territory and ask for peace
But you are the prime minister. What about your duty?
Du Xun, l have been the king for 1 7 years
l let some people down. Many people let me down
l have never helped others accomplish anything
l was waiting for you with a sword in my hand
Spare me
Forget it. You may go
Tell Li Rush my answer
Thank you for sparing me...
What should l tell him?
l have made up my mind. l have another plan
ls that all?
Yes, get out now
Goodbye...
You may go now...
Long live Your Majesty
Wei Zaode, stay
We are alone now. Tell me your opinion
Officials...

Plan? What should l plan?
The situation is beyond salvation

Mother...
Your Majesty, l have one last request
Spare my children
Your Majesty...
Mother...
Queen...
Help the prince put on some old clothes
Yes
Father
Today you are the prince
but you will be a civilian when the palace is captured
Be cautious when you are out there
When you meet officers,
call the old men masters,
the young men misters
When you meet refugees,
call the old men sirs
call the young men brothers
Father
Call scholars sirs, call troops officers
lf one day you can avenge your parents,
don't forget my words
l will stay here with you
l must die for my country but you don't have to
Father
Go now
Father, l won't go
You may survive if you leave
Too bad you are in the royal family
Nine
Yes
Take the prince out of the palace
Father, l won't go
Father...
Say no more
Guard, kick them out
Father, l won't go. l will stay with you
Father...
Your Majesty, it's me...
Get changed
Let me serve you one last time
Where is the king?
l don't know
Don't kill me...
l won't kill you. Where is the princess?
l don't know...
Don't kill me
Where is the princess?
Your Highness...
Dew
Mr Yuan, have you seen the princess?
What happened? Where is she?
King Rush entered the city. The palace is in chaos
The princess is missing. l wonder if she is all right
Your Highness Dew
l disgraced my ancestors
Father...
Father
Your Highness, you didn't leave with the prince
l can't leave
They are going to capture the palace
lt is dangerous to stay
Father, l will stay and protect you
Nine, you should go
l have some place to go
Father, l am your daughter
l will live with you
l will die with you
Silly girl
Welcome King Rush...
King Rush is coming
Your Highness, Li Rush is coming
Go away now
Your Majesty, l will pack your things
Father, let's go away together
There is no place for us
Nine, don't blame me
Too bad you are in the royal family
l can't let you be sullied by Rush's troops
Father
Stupid King, you stupid king
You killed everyone
You want to kill your daughter
Do you want to avenge your father?
l helped Du Xun yesterday
Today maybe l can help you fulfill your wish
Answer me one question
Why did you kill my father?
He was loyal to you but you wrongly accused him of treason
You...
Your father was guilty
He boasted that he could quell Liao within 5 years
He killed chief Mao without authorization
Liao had no more worries in the east
Then Qing's army invaded Beijing
l was not wrong to kill him
You are headstrong. You don't admit your fault
l killed Yuan Chonghuan when l was 1 8
l was younger than you are. You may say l ruined our defense or l was headstrong
l wanted to resurge our country. l didn't expect to be a king of a conquered country
Heaven played a joke on me
lt was cruel and wicked
Why should l apologize?
Don't...
Your Majesty
Hero, please don't kill the king
l beg you on my knees
Hero, please don't kill the king
Please don't kill the king
Miss Nine
Let's go

Leader, what happened?
No more questions. Save her first
Okay
Hurry
Yuan, what happened?
The beautiful princess lost an arm
lt is a pity
Teacher, did you take the painting?
What painting?
l will help them to save her
Where is Chongzhen's head?
l let him go
You let him go? Why didn't you kill him?
Why?
Leader...
Boss Sha caught eunuch Wang Xiangyao
And... he opened Xuanwu Gate
Xuanwu Gate? Great
Did King Rush's army enter the city?
They did. General Liu Zongmin led them in
Let's go to welcome them
Okay
King Rush will give us food and clothes
No more taxes. Open the door for King Rush
King Rush will give us food and clothes
No more taxes. Open the door for King Rush
King Rush will give us food and clothes

Mr Li, thank you
You captured the city. You did a deed of merit
King Rush's army scared Ming's army away
l can't take any credit
The people welcome King Rush's troops with food and drinks
They support him. lt is a surefire success

You are right
