Under the Power
Episode 15
Yuan Jinxia, I like you!
He's crazy.
I tortured you like that,
and you still like me?
Yuan Jinxia, I like you!
Yuan Jinxia, do you hear me?
I will marry you!
Ms. Shangguan, what happened?
Why didn't you dodge?
You are in a bad mood.
If you want to take it out on me
to cheer up,
I can only wish for it.
Why would I want to dodge?
Why do you come here?
This is the medicine I brought here from the capital.
You can apply it on the wound on your hand,
and there won't be a scar.
Here, take it.
Thank you.
Is there anything else?
Nothing.
I was just worried about you.
You can leave. I want to stay alone for a while.
Ms. Shangguan,
take an early rest.
Flowers!
This is beautiful, you see?
Would you like some flowers?
Flowers? OK.
Jinxia!
Would you like some flowers, Ms. Shangguan?
Jinxia!
Flowers!
Flowers, here you are.
Would you like one of these?
Please take a look, Miss.
Come here and have a look, guys.
Come have a look, come. Paper-cuts here.
How much is the paper-cut, ma'am?
Miss, you don't sound like a local person.
The paper-cutting in Yangzhou
is a local wonder.
That's right.
Buy one if you like it.
How about I teaching you paper-cutting?
You can make one on your own as well.
On my own?
Make one.
Okay, okay.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Thank you, ma'am.
Your Excellency.
Here.
Here you are.
Here.
Here, take this.
Look, cut the paper like this
from here.
Xi.
It looks like the twin swords
our master asked us to practice in Shaolin Monastery.
That's right.
I remember them very clearly.
There is a string of red beans.
Take this if you like it.
Thank you, Xi.
What did you make?
What's that?
It looks round. An apple?
What are you talking about? An apple?
I made a portrait of my Jinxia.
Can't you see that?
Who is yours? Don't talk nonsense.
Is my face that big, Xie Xiao?
I'm not good at making it, you see?
But I don't think this is that bad.
It looks very adorable.
Jinxia, what did you make?
A fish.
A fish?
This is not an ordinary fish.
It's Kun, a flying fish.
Kun?
Why did you get the idea of making this?
I think we've been going everywhere
since we came to Yangzhou.
If possible,
I really want to become a flying fish.
Your Excellency, why don't you make one?
These are for kids only.
I don't want to do that.
I'm sure he's not good at making this.
Jinxia, I want to tell you something.
Let's go.
Come on. Come with me.
Ma'am.
The money is for the paper those kids used.
Okay.
My paper-cut...
Mind the stairs.
Where are we going?
Right ahead.
What's up?
I...
Just tell me what you want to say.
You didn't accept my betrothal gifts that day,
but I like you sincerely.
Then I thought about what I had done very carefully after I returned home.
I realized that I was too impatient.
So I've decided
to go after you first,
so that you can see my merits.
Fatty, you...
Listen to me first, Prawn.
Even though I am not interested in studying,
I still remember
a verse in "Cooing and Wooing".
"The youth yearns day and night for the maiden so fair.
His yearning grows so strong. He cannot go asleep.
So deep in love, so deep! He tosses all night long."
That day I had the same feeling as that in the poem,
I'm so deep in love, so deep, tossing all night long.
I am not a maiden as is mentioned in the poem.
Okay, that's enough.
Let's go now.
No, Jinxia. You are.
Let me finish this.
Okay. Go ahead.
Would you like to make a wish too?
No.
I know you don't think I am mature enough.
Xi often says that about me.
But I really want to protect you from all ups and downs,
and learn how to change myself for you.
Jinxia,
please accept me.
Everyone would like to pin their dreams
on these unrealistic things.
Everyone likes dreaming.
It's always beautiful in dreams, right?
Yes.
Everyone likes dreaming.
Fatty,
you are the first boy who shows your love to me.
Thank you. Thank you. I'm really appreciated.
It was a good time for us to go fighting in our childhood days.
However,
I, I
have been taking you as my brother.
I've never thought of falling in love with you.
I don't, don't like you.
I...
Looks like Young Master is about to wake up from his dream.
Fatty, I...
Okay. That's enough. I understand.
Well, let's stop talking about this.
Look, they are waiting for us.
Don't fall behind them. Let's go.
Go! What are you still waiting for?
Come on, Fatty. Hurry up.
Let's go.
What are you still waiting for?
Come on, I'll take you to fight the bad guys.
Let's go.
Jinxia,
no matter how many times you reject me,
I won't give up.
Your Excellency.
Xi. I'm going home now.
Then I have to leave, too.
Thanks for your help,
Mr. Lu and Miss Yuan.
If you need our help in the future,
just tell us.
Thank you, Ms. Shangguan.
Why are they leaving?
Yang Yue.
Buy some lanterns for me.
Okay.
Why do you suddenly want some lanterns, Your Excellency?
Nothing.
I just want to have a dream.
So this is the dream you mentioned, Your Excellency?
Look.
So beautiful.
This is exactly like a dream.
It's my first time to watch lanterns like this.
In the past, every time I completed a mission
and came back with blood on my hands,
I always sat by the river,
closed my eyes with nothing in my mind,
and felt every breeze and chirps of birds and insects.
It helped me get relaxed.
Yangzhou is so different today.
It is truly like a beautiful dream
from which people aren't willing to wake up.
Unfortunately,
people always have to wake up from their dreams.
Your Excellency.
Xia Xiao is going after you?
I made it very clear with him.
You did this for Shangguan Xi?
Or you really have no interest in him?
Why did you say that?
You didn't hesitate
to get yourself wounded for Xie Xiao.
I was exactly a suspect as I lost the culprit.
Please watch carefully, Your Excellency.
If you don't have any feeling to him,
why did you do that?
How do you know that?
And how much do you know about that?
I did arrange everything.
How much do you think I know?
What?
It's a transaction between Lu Yi and Shangguan Xi
that Xie Xiao rescued Sha Xiuzhu?
No wonder...
I see!
I just assumed
that you told what we did to Ms. Shangguan,
in order to get back those chests of birthday gifts.
But I didn't expect...
Your Excellency.
Why didn't you tell me before?
I got a wound for nothing.
How could I know the profound friendship
between Xie Xiao and you?
Well, I,
I was just afraid
that you would punish and fire me.
I...
That time I thought
you were very upright and strict.
But unexpectedly,
I was just a pawn you used.
How could a chess player
tell the pawn how to play the chess game?
So you are complaining to me
for not telling you the truth before?
I dare not.
If it's not complaint,
then it's regret.
You thought you had tricked me,
but you didn't expect that I had known everything.
So you cannot accept this result now.
No, no.
How would I have the guts to trick you?
No, I wouldn't.
You tried to hide it from me
by releasing Sha Xiuzhu and wounding yourself on purpose.
In a word,
the person you tricked is no one else, but me, right?
I didn't blame you,
but now you are finding fault with me?
No, no. You misunderstood me.
How can I find fault with you?
I know
that the royal medicine Cen Fu gave me...
Give it to her.
Yes.
Don't tell her I gave her this.
Got it.
…is actually from you.
I am really appreciated.
In this case,
you've tricked me once,
and I tricked you once,
so we are even now.
Yeah, we are even.
Okay, make a wish.
Why don't you make one?
I'll leave all the wishes to you.
I don't need it.
Leave all the wishes to me?
Thank you, Your Excellency.
My first wish is to get a pay raise
for Department Six,
so that I can find my family soon.
My second wish is
that Mr. Lu
can be happy,
smile more every day,
and won't keep that poker face all the time.
Help, help...
Your Excellency,
his broken bone is recovering well.
It will take just a few more days to heal.
When master is healed,
we can go back to the capital.
Right.
Thank you very much, Doctor Shen,
and Mr. Lu.
I can't believe
that I have a chance
to stand up and walk as a normal person.
Not a big deal.
You are welcome, Mr. Yang.
Master, a man from the Wu'an Sect is outside.
He's wounded by a knife, and poisoned as well.
His injury is severe.
Let's go and have a look.
Yue, take care of master. I'll go have a look.
Okay.
Take a seat here and have a rest, Dad.
Leave the business to them.
I wonder if Ms. Shangguan is also outside now.
Go get the reanimating pills, quickly!
And the Lithospermi Radix and Honey Ointment for external application!
Doctor Shen.
Tell me,
who did this to you?
Young Master.
It is,
it is the Japanese.
The Japanese? It's the Japanese pirates.
How many of them?
They have a lot of people,
and they are brutal.
Tell me
where you met them.
At the reeds in the suburbs.
We just finished a transportation of goods.
In recent years,
Japanese pirates have been running wild in the Southeast.
I thought they were just rampant at the coastal regions.
But I didn't expect they came here.
Young Master, you must...
Buddy, buddy!
Doctor, please check on him.
He is dead.
That's impossible, doctor.
Doctor, please check on him again.
He was still fine a moment ago.
Doctor, doctor!
Any findings, Your Excellency?
A blunt weapon couldn't make these wounds.
One, two, three, four, five. He has five wounds.
Don't touch the wounds.
What if they are poisonous?
Why are you so horrified?
I've been a constable for so many years.
Of course I understand it.
But you must be careful as well.
If you are dead here,
what should I do?
Don't, don't, don't, don't touch the wounds.
Your Excellency, the wounds...
That's what I thought.
What are you talking about?
Why can't I understand what you said?
It is said Japan has a kind of kung fu named ninjutsu,
which is practiced by ninjas.
Ninjas mastering this kung fu
can make their fingers as solid as steel,
and able to penetrate human bodies.
They can kill anyone right away.
Damn it.
They dare to kill my men at the turf of the Wu'an Sect.
I will find all the Japanese pirates
and tear them into pieces.
I'm going to the reeds now.
I'm going with you.
Here we are.
Stop looking around.
Without my guidance,
you can't get out of the reeds.
I read the "Outlaws of the Marsh".
In Shijie Village there was also a big area of reeds
where the Ruan brothers shuttled back and forth.
Why did you read that book as a constable?
The book is for heroes of the greenwood.
Why can't a constable read this book?
Yes. Under the current situation,
I won't be surprised
even if you are forced to become an outlaw someday.
You...
Good things!
Let's take all of them
and then set this village on fire.
Burn it!
Nice.
We've got really good stuff.
Very nice.
They are good.
Look at this.
How beautiful it is!
Actually, there are many good things here.
They are all very valuable. Valuable.
We should take all the valuable things and women with us.
We are going to be rich.
I wonder which family
they robbed.
They even didn't leave old people and children alone.
Everything we robbed is valuable. Valuable!
Only a few of them?
Leave them to me.
We don't know anything about these Japanese,
so we'd better take no action.
Several men in my sect died and got injured.
How can I just let them die in vain?
Jinxia.
Over there!
Jinxia.
Hurry. Let's go!
I thought those Japanese were very competitive,
but you are cowardly incompetent.
Your Excellency, please look at this token.
Tell me.
What does this logo mean?
That's fine if they don't tell us.
I want to take revenge for my men.
Tell me who the hell you are.
Such a quick death for them.
Don't kill me. Don't kill me.
Heroes.
I am not one of them.
They forced me to come with them.
I was forced.
So you are fake Japanese, right?
No, no. They were real Japanese.
They caught me.
I am Wang Mazi, a fisherman from Zhoushan.
They made me their interpreter.
I, I, I don't even know any kung fu.
Your Japanese is so fluent.
You want to deceive me?
I am not Japanese.
Tell me why you can speak Japanese.
Heroine,
I was fishing at sea in early years.
Sometimes I sold fish to Japanese.
After a long time, I could speak some Japanese.
As far as I know, the government has been prohibiting maritime trade.
People engaged in maritime trade at sea are amazing.
Glad to meet you, Wang Mazi.
I was immature when I was young.
It's said that money could be earned from the sea.
How dare you keep lying?
Tell us the truth.
I'm telling you the truth, exactly.
I've reformed myself,
or I can't be on the land now, right?
Please let me go. Please let me go.
Stop talking.
Someone's coming.
Your Excellency.
Keep still.
They look like Japanese pirates, Your Excellency.
The government is completely unaware of so many Japanese pirates.
It is not as simple as it seems.
Stop!
Xie Xiao.
Don't chase him.
Let's follow them
and see where they settle.
Stop!
I didn't expect you would come here alone, Ms. Shangguan.
Where is your Young Master?
He's not here. Why?
I'm competent enough to deal with you.
Our young master doesn't need to come here.
Ms. Shangguan is a heroine
we can't underestimate.
Looks like you came here well-prepared.
Of course.
Without so many gifts,
how can I have the nerve to propose to you?
Propose to me?
Who do you think you are?
Ridiculous.
Don't be angry, Ms. Shangguan.
We are all merchants in the martial art world.
Peace brings wealth.
You made the trouble first.
How can you say that?
Even though this wharf is controlled by the Wu'an Sect,
but this canal
is not under your dominance, right?
Our boats come here to a berth and load cargo.
What can you do to me?
Moreover,
Xie Baili is an old man
who is about to die.
And Xie Xiao is not in the Wu'an Sect.
You are just a woman.
How long can you support your business?
Watch your words, Dong Qisheng!
As long as I'm still in charge here,
you bastards
won't have a chance to run wild in our turf.
Getting angry?
In my opinion,
you'd better get married with me.
Then you and I can share this business.
That sounds great, right?
When your father was still alive, he had a deal with our master.
The two sects should mind their own business and never intervene in each other's affairs.
Now, you are not only
running wild in our turf,
but also trying to take more advantages.
Today I will teach
you a lesson.
Go.
Retreat.
Retreat now.
Wait and see, Shangguan Xi.
I will make you obedient to me.
Guard the wharf carefully.
If anything happens, report to me immediately.
Yes. Yes.
Ms. Shangguan!
Ms. Shangguan, something happened to our men.
Hurry up, guys.
Come on.
You got hurt?
Are you okay?
Finally you are back, Ms. Shangguan.
Who did this?
The Japanese.
Where is Young Master?
He went to the reeds
with the Embroidered Uniform Guard from the capital and Constable Yuan.
Jinxia?
Which direction exactly?
To the north of the city.
Ms. Shangguan!
What's up?
Bad news, Ms. Shangguan.
Two corpses were found at the reeds.
What?
Bastards!
Bury him.
The others, go with me.
Yes.
Are you all right?
Let's go.
Go.
Don't worry, Jinxia.
I am protecting you down here.
Over there, Ms. Shangguan.
That's strange.
We lost those Japanese pirates.
Longdan Village?
Listen.
Bamboo whistle.
I'll go and check it.
They are all dead.
How miserable!
Really?
I'm Yang Yue, from Department Six.
I want to check the corpses.
This way, sir.
Were these corpses
discovered here?
No. They were dragged out from the reeds.
The path inside is tough.
Let's go inside and check it.
Fei, check around this area with our men.
Yes.
Let's go.
Hurry. Hurry. Quick!
Hurry. Quick. Come on!
Close the door.
Close it!
Ms. Shangguan,
are you all right?
Do you need a break?
These people committed suicide by poison.
Their outfit shows
that they must be the Japanese Jinxia and others looked for.
You see,
the reeds here are badly damaged.
There must have been
a very fierce fight.
I think Jinxia and others caught the Japanese pirates,
but they committed suicide to keep their secret.
There is no blood on this dart.
I think Jinxia and others are safe.
Don't worry.
Wait.
Jinxia left this mark.
Over there.
Kill them all.
They must be killed.
Kill them.
Burn them.
Kill those invaders.
What are you doing?
Let us go.
Save your breath.
We breathed in a kind of narcotic just now.
Now we're out of energy.
I'm afraid we can't recover until six to ten hours later.
