Although I'm old.
But...
I will try my best to protect the emperor.
If anyone dares to harm the emperor
I will make him suffer
at all costs.
Understand?
Rest assured
if anyone dare to hurt the emperor
I, Oboi
will not let him live.
Ok.
Oboi
as long as you are here
no one will dare
disrespect the emperor.
As a minister
who served three emperors.
You have my trust
to fulfill your duties till the end.
You want to maintain a good and lasting reputation
for yourself
and your future generations.
Don't you?
I appreciate your trust
and I will spare no efforts
to meet your expections.
Here you go again.
Look there...
Let's take a look at the lotus there.
How about it?
Come on
Take a look.
OK!
Here we go.
The Moon-water nunnery is small
but built by the royal family.
This river connects with the outside.
Once we caught Sun Fu
we can escape through this waterway at night.
By the time they found that the magistrate were missing
and imposed curfew
we had left Yuan Zhou by then.
Yihuan.
Focus.
You must get the boat ready
and meet us at the designated location.
You must not leave until we get there
Got it
quit blabbering about it.
Dear abbot.
Dear donor.
Please help me.
Please stand up.
Dear abbot.
My husband and I were passing Yuanzhou on the way to visit relatives.
When my husband got seriously ill
and passed away.
Merciful Buddha.
Dear abbot.
I'm begging for your help
Such a young person like you
had to go through such misfortunes.
You have my sympathy.
All right!
I'll perform a religious rite
for your husband.
So that he can rest in peace.
Dear abbot.
Thank you so much!
One more thing
I spend all the money
to treat my husband's disease.
So I can't afford a hotel room.
Dear abbot.
Please let me stay for a few days
until my family comes here
to take way my husband's coffin.
I will make a huge donation
to the nunnery then.
This...
This nunnery is frequently visited
by Mrs. Magistrate
who will be here to pray in three days.
We will be closed to outsiders then
so it might be a trouble
if Mrs. Magistrate sees you here.
Dear abbot.
I've sent an urgent message
to my family
who will rush here
and pick us up
before Mr. and Mrs. Magistrate arrive.
Dear abbot.
Please, I beg you.
Abbot.
Please, I beg you.
Stand up please
my merciful Buddha.
I can shelter you for three days.
Stand up please.
Thank you so much.
Big Brother.
Thanks to Junior Ye.
Junior Ye's strategy so far
works really well.
Your breath-holding Kongfu was so good
that the female abbot didn't even notice
during her two days of praying for you.
Mrs. Magistrate will be here to pray tomorrow.
Success or failure is here.
Well...
Will there be any problem with Yihuan and the boat?
Should be OK.
She says its all done.
So it should be fine.
Yihuan is playful usually
but she knows what's important.
I trust her on this.
I took her to scout then
and arranged the boat myself
and I reminded her a lot about it.
So there should be no problem.
Bad Bro. Zhu
who left me here along.
They went to catch Sun Fu
and ask me to mind the boat.
The boat isn't gong anywhere by itself.
Why?
Anything nice to eat in Yuanzhou?
Why am I always hungry?
No!No!
Bro. Zhu urged me
to mind the boat.
So I'd better stay here
or he will blame me for leaving.
Hey boatman.
Boatman.
take me to Spring Brothel in Yuanzhou.
Sorry, I'm off duty right now.
This is a lot of money.
But Bro. Zhu reiterated
that I must stay here.
Should I earn the money or not
Right now
to go or not.
It's him.
Why is he disguised?
Is Oboi planning something in secret?
Bro.Zhu and my senior brothers and sisters
will kidnap Sun Fu tomorrow.
I can carry this carter
and see if I get some important intel.
Then the masters and my senior brothers and sisters
will not dare look down at me.
Why are you not moving.
He's Kongfu is above mine
so I need to be careful.
Sir...
Where is this Spring Brothel you mentioned.
Go along the river
you'll see it then.
Okay!
You haven't heard of
the famous Spring Brothel in Yuanzhou.
Really a country boy!
Welcome!
Come in for some pleasure.
Kid.
This is the famous Spring Brothel.
This way my honored guest.
Let's go.
See you .
So this is the brothel they are talking about.
Among many bigger and better brothels in the capital.
Why is Oboi's driver here?
Thousand miles come to Yuanzhou.
For pleasure only?
No way!
I have to follow him.
Have a drink.
You're so naughty.
This way.
Is your business ok madam?
Its good, thanks to his highness Oboi.
So gorgeous.
This must be the lead prostitute's room
with so many ornaments
with the silverware.
I can take these away
even without finding the driver.
This way sir.
How have you been?
Fine, thanks for asking.
This way please.
Sure!
This way please.
Madam.
Give me an update
on what the grand secretary ordered.
Relax.
We consider grand secretary's orders
top priority.
But...
But the two beauties
he selected
are mediocre in talents.
We need more time
to make them excel at music
chess
dancing and tricks in bed.
What beauties?
Mastering in music chess, calligraphy, and painting
even bedroom tricks.
Is Oboi looking for a concubine?
We are close to the deadline
for the candidate girls' selection.
I need to bring them
to the capital
after I finished this business.
So Oboi is not seeking a concubine
for himself
but for emperor Kangxi.
He is not only trying to poison the emperor
but also seducing him with women.
Carrot and stick indeed
I can't stay here.
I got to go wait for Bro. Zhu and others in the boat.
Lord Mutai, the magistrate of Yuanzhou
will meet me here tomorrow night
please prepare in advance.
Ok!
I'll take care of it.
Sorry for the trouble madam.
Isn't Magistrate Mutai
or Sun Fu
the one we want to kidnap?
You.
Not me.
You dress like a boatman
followed me and were eavesdropping.
Who the hell are you?
Have mercy!
Untie me first.
Talk!
OK!OK!
I...
I'm just
a boatman.
I took you here.
But...
I've never been here.
Once I got here
I recognized that
it is a brothel.
I just thinking...
I've never been to a brothel.
So I went in...
I don't look like a frequent guest.
So nobody treated me.
I was just wandering around at the second floor.
When I saw many gold
and silver drinking vessels.
I just wanted to steal them.
And...
I was wrong.
I...
I won't do it again
You are really here just to steal
no other purposes?
I was so stupid.
Here...
Here are all the things I took.
See?
All of them.
They are our belongings indeed.
Sir.
I was wrong.
I've given them all to you.
And...
plus the money
you paid me.
Please spare my life this time.
I got a fifty-year-old mother
and seventy-year-old grandma.
So please let me
a poor fella, go.
I'll be excused
if nothing's up.
Sir
what do you want
I gave you everything.
You can search me if you like.
Please don't bring me to the authority.
I'm too busy
to bring you little thief to the authority.
But...
how can a little boatman be so good in Kungfu.
I usually practice
with my brothers in the shipping business.
But what I got
is nothing compared to
Kungfu master like you.
What do you think?
Such a poor boatman
How about we teach him a lesion and let him go.
She is not a poor boatman.
The girl...
Very embarrassing.
Girl?
Can't you see?
That it's a girl
an under-aged girl.
Hoe dare
you went to my brothel to steal.
Come
arrest this female thief.
Go!
Hurry!
Take it easy!
Go inside!
What!
Let me out!
Help!
I can't stay.
I have to escape.
Bro. Zhu will start their operation
after sunrise.
If they find I'm missing with the boat
after they brought Sun Fu to the riverside.
What should they do?
If the master knew that
I can't even unlock
such little copper ones.
He must be pissed off
by my inability.
I am afraid not only lost your face.
Maybe I will died here.
Junior Ye
you're so skillful
for disguising as them so quickly.
It's really impossible.
Don't worry!
I think even a cunt like Sun Fu
will not be familiar with every one
of his underlings.
We'll pass
if we generally look like them.
Hurry up!
Come.
Merciful Buddha.
Madam
it's fate
whether we will bare a son or not.
You can not beg for it.
Easy for you to say.
If you don't prefer a son
why did you marry three concubines in the last three years.
Why do you care.
They all had girls after all
If those vixens
have sons before I do
what's going to happen to me?
Mam
it's considered a taboo to curse
in front of the Buddha.
Sorry! Sorry!
I'm sorry.
Mam, please offer your pray to the Buddha.
Mam!
Help! Help!
What is it my lord.
This is a set-up, bring my wife out of here.
Hurry!
What are you doing?
Nothing
just want you to come with us.
Or...
should we call you
General Sun Fu.
Who are you people?
You!
This is the donation
we have for the nunnery.
Please take it.
Thank you so much.
Abbot
I just saw
Mrs. Magistrate's sedan chair arriving.
Please let us out through the side door
so as not to encounter Mrs. Magistrate.
They've already arrived?
Why did I get up so late.
Go with me through the side door
so that they won't see you.
Where am I?
Who are you?
Shut up.
Answer us first.
What?
Where is General Li Sixing?
Is he dead or alive?
I don't know any Li Sixing.
I don't know what you're talking about.
One more lie
and I'll kill you
I...
I really don't know
what you're talking about.
Sun FU
You think if you changed your name
to a Manchu one Mutai.
Then we won't recognize you?
I'm not lord magistrate
but his body double.
Body double?
If the real Sun Fu show up
it would endanger Mosheng and Qianying.
My lord.
What?
Any news on those two.
We found everywhere.
No track of them nearby.
They might be resting somewhere.
No!
Something is wrong.
You stay here
others come with me.
Stop.
How dare you acting like this
in front of the Buddha.
Stand down.
My lord.
We just...
worry about your safety.
I'm fine
no worries.
Ready my sedan chair.
Roger.
Arrest them.
You guys...
How dare you trying to take my life.
Who are you?
Where is my wife?
I'll let you go
If...
If you guys speak honestly.
If not...
Ready the archers.
Hold on.
My lord.
Release my wife.
If anything happens to her.
I'll kill all of you.
Sun Fu.
Hard to imagine
that a coward and villain like you
care that much
about your woman.
Who are you people?
Sun Fu.
Where is General Li Sixing?
Is he dead or alive?
I never could have thought that
you remnants of Ming Dynasty
were still making waves now.
Where is Li Sixing exactly?
You gus?
You thugs are not qualified to negotiate with me.
Let your archers step back.
And let my friend go.
I will liberate your wife.
Two for to.
Release my wife
and my body double.
Deal.
Walk.
Archers ready.
Without words.
You despicable lier.
Haven't those remaining Ming officials told you
that honesty has gone extinct?
It's winner takes all now
The loser can't get anything
Fire!
No one lives.
Watch out!
Qingcheng
the arrow tip is poisoned.
I have to suck it out
or it will be life-threatening.
Stay still.
No!
Brother.
If you have wounds in your mouth
you will be poisoned too.
You are the prince of the Ming Dynasty.
It's too risky
for a noble like you.
Ask them to go find the cure.
Speak no more.
Watch out brother!
Steamed buns!
Sugar-coated haws!
Steamed buns!
Freshly cooked!
You guys wait here.
I'll wait upstairs.
Yes sir.
Steamed buns!
It's strange.
Why is boss not here.
He is a man of his word.
Flowers!
Sugar-coated haws!
Best rouge and makeup !
Flowers!
Smell it.
Kites, colorful kites!
steamed buns!
Calligraphies and paintings!
Hey girl, take a look at these.
Nice!
I've been working on this lock for the whole day.
Almost breaking my fingers.
Help!
Bodhisattva!
Buddha!
All the gods listen to my prayers
please help me get out.
Finally, succeeded.
Brother Liu
please talk nice about me
when you see Oboi.
I'v made a clean break
with the remnants of Ming Dynasty
and I'm loyal to the Qing empire
and to Oboi.
The remnants of Ming Dynasty.
Those thugs dare to sent assassins to kill you.
Thus showing
their hatred between your position against them.
Right! Right! Right!
I'll report back to the capital then.
Ok!
See you around.
See you!
Isn't this lackey guy
named Sun Fu?
Shouldn't he been kidnapped
by Bro.Zhu?
Did they fail?
My lord
it's been long since your last visit.
The girls miss you a lot.
Find me an under-aged teen.
Hmm...
What, not willing to treat me?
Not that.
Don't forget that
the magistrate is not as good as the current.
I have jurisdiction over
your Spring Brothel.
Right!
But...
But this girl is wild
and I need to talk to her first.
So that she won't offend you
Bring her to me quickly.
Ok.
Am I the wild girl
the procuress is talking about?
I'd better run.
Wait!
If Bro. Zhu's group didn't catch Sun Fu.
Should I grab the opportunity
to make up for my mistakes.
Yes!
I have to go back.
Don't cry!
Madam.
I won't steal again.
Please don't hand me in to the authority.
Silly girl!
How can I give away
such a beauty like you?
Really?
Of course!
And you can have the silver bottle
that you took.
You can have anything
you like
as a gift from me.
How about that?
Are you kidding me?
You have my word
But...
If I let you go
You have to do me a favor
for change.
How?
You spend the night with the Magistrate.
If you make him happy.
Then I'll forgive you for stealing.
You can also
have the things
I promised.
But madam, I...
Girl like you
young and beauty
shouldn't have to be sent to jail.
Little girl...
A clever girl like you
should know what to do.
But I'm still a teenager.
That's why I want you to be with the Magistrate.
A woman
will go through this sooner or later.
Integrity or freedom.
Your choice.
Only one night.
Correct!
Freedom it is.
But...Madam...
You must keep your promises about
what you'll give me.
Don't worry.
I'm a credible person.
Get the girl ready, hurry!
Come with me.
Hello guys.
Long time no see!
Right...
Such a pleasure!
Let's drink up!
Cheers!
Please!
My lord!
All right!
Come greet my lord!
My lord!
How did you know me?
Madam told me
that you are the Magistrate
and ask me to serve you well.
Ok!
Under-aged indeed.
Let's go!
Try your best.
Nice!
My lord
I was told that
you encountered assassins today.
Let me pour you some wine to get over the shock.
Ok!
Who?
Who was bold enough to assassinate you?
Some regular Joe
nothing to worry about.
Are they caught?
It's a pity
that they run away
Forget about that.
We have to
make tonight count and have fun.
Right!
Tonight...
Let's forget about the unpleasant things
and drink as much as we like.
Ok!
But the wine tastes funny
not as usual.
This wine is prepared especially for you.
My lord
what do you think?
Good!
the scent is just like that of your body.
My lord
let's play dice.
Ok.
I'll go first.
OK!
You lost!
My lord, you lost!
Drink!
You lost again.
Drink up!
Fine!
Let's see
how I will deal with you later.
Again!
Cui
come and play.
Look at you!
You lost again, drink more!
I...
Why am I
always lost?
Maybe I'm in luck today.
Drink my lord!
Drink!
I need a break.
Have more.
I really need a break.
My lord!
None can challenge me on dicing
at home as I grow up.
You would never win.
My god!
This guy is as heavy as a dead pig.
I can't do it.
And his body-guards are everywhere out there.
How?
Got it...
We've been searching everywhere in Yuanzhou
in restaurants, hotels.
Where is Yihuan exactly?
At first I was blaming her
for ditching us by the riverside.
Now
I just want her to be safe.
Look!
Yihuan's signal.
Big brother.
Yihuan says she is at the Spring Brothel.
What is that place?
Spring Brothel?
What you think.
Why is Yihuan in a brothel?
Here
Yihuan says
she captured Sun Fu at the Brothel
and wanted us to be there immediately.
Bro. Zhu
you guys are finally here.
Be careful Sis. Fan.
This man is Sun Fu.
Relax.
He is so drunk right now.
It is him.
This cunt.
Why did you dress like that?
I had no choice.
Don't be mad Bro. Zhu
I'm pissed off.
If it wasn't you
who took the boat away.
How could we have fallen into Sun Fu's trap?
Qingcheng was seriously wounded
for saving me.
What happened to her?
Is it life-threatening?
She is fine
after taking the antidote.
It won't take long
before she can force out the rest of the poison.
After we were exposed
Sun Fu ordered a city-wide manhunt.
We can't go back to our hotel.
Luckily Junior Sun made through plans
and took us to an apartment
for temporary shelter.
Qingcheng can rest there as well.
Big brother
we can not blame Yihuan alone
for the failure of the mission.
It was this wily old fox
too cunning
and our underestimation of enemy
that caused the accident.
Right?
Alright
you caught Sun Fu
which made up for your error.
We're now surrounded by Sun Fu's underlings.
And we have to
transfer Sun out of here
I know...
We can pull this off the old ways
My lord long
the restaurant is closing.
I think your friend will not show up.
How about we go back now
Or...
your mother would blame me
for not bringing you back early.
Bro. Zhu
you look so funny.
How did you do it.
Shush...
quit joking, get to business.
Shouldn't I call you
Brother Zhu.
I should call you
Little Sis. Zhu.
Quit it.
Sis. Zhu.
Le's go!
See you!
Stop there !
What's your business?
