Master Luo Qi.

Liu Village is just behind the mountain.

Our chief is waiting for you.

Listen,

this guy's name is Luo Qi.

He is always against our brothers.

Thunder Tiger on Jinsha Mountain and Hong Kui at Jiangwan Pier

are both defeated by him.

This time, Chief Zhou of Baoxiang Clan hire him here,

especially to deal with me, Jin Da Kui.

No matter how capable he is,

we can't let him step on our brothers.

Go to the intersection and wait for him.

He can never leave our territory.

Fourth Uncle, please lead them.

Let me face him all alone.

You're not good enough to fight him.

If I can't get rid of him,

- I'll cut off my ear. - Deal!

- Attack! - Let's do it!

Here!

Brothers!

Let's go after him. Your ear matters.

Let's go after him!

Damn you! Come out if you have guts!

No...

Come over!

Quick!

Yes.

You must keep your promise.

Master.

Master.

Master.

Master Luo Qi, who was hired by the Baoxiang Clan,

has been caught by Jin Da Kui.

Chief Zhou said that Jin Da Kui would definitely do something these few days,

so he asked us not to go near the mountains.

Father.

I said I couldn't go there to collect the rent,

but you insisted on letting me go.

If you don't go, I'll go myself.

The land rent of these 200 households is at least 800 yuan.

They will never pay us if we don't go and collect it.

Father.

What I am about to say may not sound pleasant.

Even Luo Qi has been taken down.

I don't think you are better than him.

You...

- You useless thing! You... - I...

I'm saying it for your own good.

I don't mean anything else, Father.

Master!

Master, this is bad!

Young Lady is going to collect the rent with a gun.

You must not let her go.

Brother, where is Father?

Father!

Qiao Er.

- What are you doing? - I'm going to collect the rent for you.

How can a girl go to the countryside to collect rent?

It's fun.

Give me the ledger.

Haven't you heard that the mountains are full of bandits?

Jin Da Kui and Golden Hook are not easy to deal with.

Even your brother doesn't dare to go.

Don't try to mess around.

Go back to your room now!

Let us go, Father!

Qiao Er, go back to your room. Bandits are not easy to deal with.

I'd rather see what bandits look like.

Do they have red eyes or green nose?

- What a nonsense! - Seriously.

Young Lady, listen to me. Please don't go.

The gun you bought me, I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

- Do bandits run faster than bullets? - Master, you have a guest.

- Who? - Here.

JIN DA KUI

Is there anything I can help Chief Jin with?

He wants to make friends with you.

I'm not qualified enough to be his friend.

Don't be too humble. We're like family.

There's something we need your help with.

What do you mean by that?

Do you want money?

Tell me the amount.

- We don't want money. - Food?

We don't want food either.

You must want a gun, then?

We don't want a gun too.

We just want to get someone from you.

Who offended you?

I'll call him out now and punish him in front of you.

This is not the case.

On the contrary, we need her help badly.

- Go back to your room, please. - Let me see!

I don't think there is such a person here.

Is Nanny Wang here?

So you're looking for her.

Nanny Wang?

Yes, my boss wants me to bring Nanny Wang home.

She's just the nanny of my two children.

She has been working here for about forty years.

She has never offended anyone.

What do you want from her?

Don't ask about this.

Just hand her to us!

- I won't allow it. - I don't think you can stop us.

Where is she now?

Lord Cui, how about this?

Since we regard Nanny Wang as our family,

we can't just let you take her away without a solid reason.

Please go back now

and come here again tomorrow for dinner.

After dinner, I will send Nanny Wang to see Chief Jin.

- You guarantee? - I guarantee it with my life.

Master Liu,

we'll not only take your life if you don't keep your word.

Farewell.

- See him off. - It's fine.

Nanny Wang, you must make it clear.

Why is Jin Da Kui looking for you?

This...

I don't know either.

Nanny Wang, Say it.

Whether it is good or bad,

with me here, I won't let you suffer a bit.

I really don't know.

This is definitely a bad thing.

Once she got up the mountain, she could never come down.

Father! Even Nanny Wang herself doesn't know

what Jin Da Kui wants from her.

What should we do now?

Qiao Er.

I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain.

What's more, he's a bandit who did a lot of bad things.

We have a big family here.

So we can't take the risk.

I think we have no choice but to send Nanny Wang to him.

- Brother. - Let's listen to Father.

What if something bad happens to her?

It's her fate.

Father.

Nanny Wang!

Pack up and go now!

Go to the mountain?

No, I'll take you to my uncle's house.

You just stay there.

I don't think they dare to cause trouble there.

- Is this your father's decision? - No, it's my decision.

I was raised by you.

You're just like my mother.

I will shoot anyone who bullies my mother!

- Let's go. - Let's go.

- Let me go and prepare a horse. - Don't ride a horse.

We'll leave through the back door so they won't notice.

Where's Nanny Wang?

Lord Cui, I'm so sorry.

- I'm really sorry. - Where's Nanny Wang?

It's like this, Nanny Wang...

Brother Liu,

we're not joking here.

Yes, I know.

- She... - What?

She ran away.

Young Lady, look!

Let's ask if they have a horse.

If they do, we'll buy it so Nanny Wang can ride on it.

All right.

Nanny Wang, let's go.

Is anyone here?

TRADITIONAL HERBAL MEDICINE

It's a herbal medicine store.

Is anyone there?

Young Lady, look!

Blood!

How can there be blood on the floor?

Young Lady, someone is there!

Come out!

It's a kid here.

- It's a kid. - Mother!

Help! Robbers!

Don't be afraid, we're not robbers.

Is this your house?

There have been a lot of robbers here recently.

Young Lady, it's getting dark.

And the road ahead is bumpy.

Why don't we stay here for a night?

When daybreak comes,

we will take them and continue on our journey.

All right.

Let's eat together.

Where's Nanny Wang?

I'm not an ordinary woman.

I entered the palace when I was 18.

That was when Emperor Xianfeng was in power.

I was sent to serve Consort Cao in Yuanming Pavilion.

But Consort Cao passed away

when she was 18 years old.

She was favored by the emperor during her lifetime.

So the emperor gave her

a thousand-year-old luminous pearl

to be put in her mouth.

The two empresses, Ci'an and Cid,

knew about it

and wanted to open her coffin to take the pearl.

The emperor couldn't do anything

but bury Consort Cao outside the palace.

That is

Qinggang Mountain,

which is not far from here.

Her entire tomb

was built under the strata

of the cave.

No one could find the exit outside.

This way, Ci'an and Cixi couldn't do anything.

After moving the coffin inside,

eight palace maids were chosen to be buried with her.

And I was

one of them.

SOLDIER

Now, the tomb is about to be sealed.

Let's meditate around Consort Cao.

Three or five days later,

we'll slowly die

of thirst and hunger.

I kept hitting them like this!

Die!

Die!

Die!

I killed those snakes.

I live on the blood of the snakes

and the flesh of the snakes

inside the tomb.

One after another...

I don't know how many snakes I've eaten.

I don't know how many days have passed.

One day,

I heard some noise outside the door.

Someone was opening the door.

- Are you certain? - Yes, it's here.

The luminous pearl is inside.

Can we get it there?

Why not?

There is no one who guards here.

Dead bodies!

Don't be afraid.

What a stinky smell.

It has been thirty days.

The maids have already starved to death. How can they not stink?

Will there be ghosts?

Don't mention that word!

I'm afraid of nothing

except for ghosts.

What's wrong with you?

I went under the tomb to find the exit.

The exit seems to be on the top of the mountain.

I ran as fast as I could.

I kept running!

What are you doing here?

I...

I...

- I escaped from Consort Cao's tomb. - Consort Cao's tomb?

Yes.

Yes.

Very well!

We're actually looking for Consort Cao's tomb.

I bet there are a lot of treasures inside the tomb.

- Where is it? - It's...

Speak!

Speak!

She ran away! Go after her!

Go after her! Damn her!

Search!

Those bandits didn't find me.

I hid in the mountains.

By chance, I met your grandfather when I went up the mountain to pray.

He found me pitiful,

so he took me home.

But no one knows about this.

Jin Da Kui came to me just now.

I bet he's discovered my history.

He must have wanted to ask me to show him Consort Cao's tomb

so that he could get that luminous pearl.

- What's the matter? - I saw it.

- Did you see a ghost? - It's not a ghost, but a house.

Nanny Wang, don't worry. Just follow us.

We won't let you get hurt.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Over there!

Let's go!

Let's go back.

Go inside!

Come on!

Quick!

Hey!

Is Nanny Wang inside?

If we don't see Nanny Wang

when the torch falls on the ground,

we'll kill all of you!

Damn it!

- Attack! - Attack!

Attack from that side.

All right.

They seem hard to deal with.

I unexpectedly ran into a few tigresses.

I must drag them out and kill them one by one.

It must be the girl named Qiao who hid Nanny Wang.

Although she is fierce, she is also a great beauty.

Let me attack her from behind with our men.

Then, she would have nowhere to escape.

Great!

Let's go.

What's the matter?

What happened?

Someone is blocking us.

Hey! Who are you?

- Luo Qi? - What now?

Want to attack them from behind, huh?

Do you know

whose territory this is?

- What? You still haven't died yet? - If I die that easily,

am I still Luo Qi?

Let's go!

Let's go!

Don't move!

You're so bold, huh?

They're all gone. Why are you still here?

I'm not a bandit.

Liar! Do you want me to shoot you?

What are you doing here in the mountains at this hour?

Even if you are not a bandit, you are definitely a bad guy.

That's not right.

- I'm here to help you. - Who wants your help?

You're lucky enough not to be killed.

Young Lady.

Bandits are all cunning.

Maybe he is their undercover agent because we are too strong.

Thank you for your compliment.

He has a bad appearance.

- So he must be a bad guy. - Let's kill him!

Hold on!

We still need him to do something.

Get his weapons.

Let go of your hands!

Throw the bodies out.

- Do you hear me? Hurry up! - Yes.

It's just like Lu Dong Bing being bitten by a dog.

You don't even appreciate what I've done.

- What did you say? - He called us dogs.

You're the dog here! How dare you call us dogs?

Don't let him escape!

- Ladies, it's all my fault. - Let me ask you.

- How many of you are there? - Only me alone.

There were 60 or 70 people outside.

But you said it's only you alone?

I don't need so many men to deal with just a few of you.

Behave yourself when you're in front of Young Lady Liu.

Young Lady Liu.

I thought she was Jin Da Kui's sister, Golden Hook.

Nonsense!

She is Master Liu's daughter, Qiao.

- Why are you taking Nanny Wang away? - Nanny Wang?

Well, I want to take Miss Wang away.

Who is Miss Wang here?

Shut up!

Are you planning to steal the luminous pearl in Qinggang Mountain?

Speak!

Didn't you tell me to shut up?

He really pissed me off!

- Chun Ian, tie him up. - Yes.

Tie me up, huh? Very well.

It's almost dawn,

and they will come here in a while.

He's right.

Bandits are coming at dawn.

The walls of this house are very low. So they can easily come in.

I wonder if there's any safer place around.

Madam, do you know?

- There is a temple on the mountainside. - Great!

Let's go to the temple.

If you go there, you're surrendering.

How do you know?

You still deny it, huh? You're obviously one of them.

Why don't you send someone to go and check it out?

If it's safe, then only we can go there together.

You're so young and pretty.

There's no need to rush to hell.

I didn't expect you to be kind-hearted.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

Who of you is willing to go?

Me!

Trying to escape?

You won't have a chance to leave here alive.

- What a pity! - What do you mean?

I'm not married yet.

Young Lady Liu.

Let me do it.

You're not the right candidate. You won't be able to come back alive.

What to do now?

Let me do it!

Why isn't he back?

I have to find him now! My son!

- You can't go! - Madam.

- There are bandits outside. - Madam!

- My son! - Madam, you can't go!

- Don't go. - Let go of me!

- Let me go! I want to find my son! - Let's go inside now.

You idiot!

That madam will be killed if she goes out now.

Mind your own business.

Where's the rope?

How did you get out? Where's the rope?

The rope? Over there.

It's just a piece of cake.

- Tie him up again. - Go there!

- My son! - Madam.

Young Lady Liu.

I beg you.

If you have treasures, be it gold or luminous pearl,

please take them all out.

Please save my son.

Even if I can't repay your kindness now,

I will do it in my next life.

I don't mind being your slave.

We don't have the luminous pearl.

But this old nanny knows where the luminous pearl is hidden.

The bandits are looking for her.

Old Madam.

I beg you!

- Old Madam! - What's the matter with you?

- Get up now. - Old Madam.

Please tell those bandits

where the luminous pearl is hidden.

If you don't tell them, my son will be dead.

All of us in the house would be killed, too.

Old Madam.

Old Madam.

I beg you.

Don't let them kill my son.

He's my everything!

Miss, it's not that I don't want to tell.

But it's been too long.

- I forgot where it is located. - Old Madam.

Old Madam, please recall it carefully. I believe you can recall it.

Forget about it.

That pearl

caused a lot of trouble and resulted in many deaths.

Put this medicine into Young Lady Liu's water when you're home.

After they drink the water,

they will become like this wood.

When you're done, I'll release your father.

Otherwise,

I will make you like this piece of wood.

- Got it? - Yes...

Well done!

Send it to Chun Ian.

Shun is back!

Shun?

Shun, what happened?

What did they do to you?

I ran fast enough that they couldn't catch me.

- What did you find in the temple? - There are many bandits.

All right! Come with me after the meal.

Have some hot porridge.

Let me pour it.

- What are you doing? - I'm detoxifying it.

Is it poisonous?

Don't move.

Young Lady Liu.

They drugged your porridge.

The first time I stopped you from going out,

I noticed you had a gun.

You're not an ordinary person,

nor the mother of these children.

Granny.

Who are you?

Please tell.

I'm Jin Da Kui's younger sister, Golden Hook.

Golden Hook.

This trick almost got me hooked.

Those bandits know you're not easy to deal with.

So they sent her here undercover.

They want to get the information of the luminous pearl.

At the same time, they work together...

...from the inside out to catch you all.

It wasn't tight enough too.

I moved it a little, and it loosened.

Come, tie me up again.

I'm sorry for mistreating you just now.

No worries.

I'm lucky enough that you didn't hang me up.

Since you're not a bandit, why didn't you tell us earlier?

Thank you for your advice.

I'll hang a sign around my neck

saying that I'm not a bandit but Luo Qi.

Stop!

Tell me.

Where are your parents?

They took my parents away and forced us to obey them.

If we don't obey, they will kill our parents.

All right.

In order to save your parents,

you must first help me kill the bandits.

Let's make use of their tricks.

They all took the medicine.

- Why don't I see my younger sister? - Let's go.

Let's get a girl

- to be my wife. - What a good idea.

Go and take a look.

Fourth Uncle, let's go!

Let's get the girls.

Let's go!

- Let's get them! - Leave the one in green to me!

Don't move!

Go!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Halt!

Help!

Help!

Go!

Go!

Kill!

- Kill! - Kill!

- Don't let them escape! - Go after them!

Move!

- Kill those in the house! - Golden Hook.

- Surround them! - Don't let them escape!

Jin Da Kui!

Your younger sister, Golden Hook, is in our hands.

Will you let us go?

All right!

Let's talk about it.

Hand over the gun.

Young Lady Liu.

I came here sincerely.

This is...

I'm Luo Qi.

You've met me once before, right?

You really do live up to your reputation.

Thank you for the compliment.

Are you trying to mess with me?

I dare not.

I just want to make some money.

I will return to my hometown after I catch you.

We want Golden Hook to go to the provincial capital with us.

We'll let her go once we get into the city.

How is that?

I'll make sure you get to the city safely.

However,

Nanny Wang has to answer my two questions.

Speak.

Nanny Wang.

I'm sure you know

what I want from you.

How do I know?

You're being too humble.

Do you still remember that place?

What...

- What place? - Stop pretending!

Keep your voice down!

We're not afraid of you just because you're loud.

I'm sure you still remember that place, as you once told someone else.

Who did I tell? What did I say?

Stop pretending!

Don't yell at an old elderly!

She has only been in Liu's Manor for three months.

She even took you as her foster mother. What did you tell her?

Nanny Wang, did you forget what you have told me?

That's right.

I was chatting with you one night.

I told you what happened 40 years ago.

You... How could you tell him?

You...

Who actually are you?

She is Cut's niece.

Xia He, you...

Don't move!

Damn you! Get it!

If you come any closer, I'll kill Qiao right away.

Good.

It turns out you're a female bandit.

We shouldn't treat you as a human being!

She's not a human being in the first place.

She's a ghost.

- A clever one. - I was the one who helped Chief Jin

check out the places he wanted to rob.

We planned to rob Liu's Manor at first.

Thanks to gossip from Nanny Wang, who saved you all.

Now we just want her to come with us.

This is definitely a good deal for you.

Their lives are now in my hands.

Consider it.

I was curious what you're fighting for.

It turned out to be for the tomb.

You know about it?

On my way here,

you kicked me down the mountains.

I happened to fall beside that tomb.

- Did you go in? - I didn't. I'm still alive.

That's the imperial tomb of Consort Cao.

Imperial tomb, huh?

It's been too long.

Everything has changed.

The tomb has become too dilapidated.

Bring us there!

Luo Qi, don't go!

My legs are mine.

So I am the one who decides whether to go or not.

Luo Qi.

I will give you one share.

Just one share?

I spend a lot.

I won't go

if I don't get enough shares.

- Damn! - All right.

I'll give you half of it! Let's go.

Quick!

Quick!

Quick!

Walk faster!

Move!

It's just ahead.

Although it's dilapidated

and the gate has collapsed,

we can still tell that it's an imperial tomb.

Bring the old lady over!

Old lady, is it here?

I'm too old

to recall it.

Say it quickly!

I don't remember where I escaped.

There's a hole in the middle of that mountain.

I think it's the entrance.

Let's go up the mountain!

Oh my goodness!

- Why is he still inside? - Let's go inside.

Don't let him have it alone.

After you.

A ghost!

Hey!

Tell your boss!

Consort Cao is waiting inside!

Yes.

- Go and inform him now. - Yes.

We found it!

The imperial tomb is here!

- Boss! - Let's go!

Uncle, it's time now.

Don't let Jin Da Kui have the luminous pearl.

Xia He.

Foster Mother.

I'm sorry.

You shouldn't have done it.

She was indeed heartless.

Let's go!

Open the coffin!

Hurry up!

- What's wrong with you? - I want to pee!

I want to pee!

Don't move.

- Cut the rope. - Yes.

Quick! Otherwise, I will pee on your mother's head!

Quick! It's here!

- Quick! - Let's take it!

Quick!

It's here!

As promised, you will give me half of it.

It's quite a lot to me.

But I don't think it's enough for you.

So get rid of them.

- It's mine! - Each person gets 50 taels!

It's all mine!

Don't touch it!

Why did you hit me?

Boss, what should we do now?

Hand over the knife.

Luo Qi!

- I did it for you. - Good!

Open the coffin!

It smells bad, right?

All right, I'll do it for you.

- What did you see? - What a big pearl!

- It's mine! - No, it's mine!

It belongs to whoever touches it first.

Go away!

The pearl...

Da Kui!

Let me touch it!

Let me touch that luminous pearl!

Da Kui, let me touch that luminous pearl!

Empty? How come it's empty?

You lied to me!

You lied to me!

I wasted 20 years looking for it!

It's 20 years!

And I got nothing now!

Luo Qi!

Luo Qi!

Young Lady.

Hold on.

You should learn more about me.

Your Highness!

- Your Highness! - Nanny Wang!

Your Highness!

- Your Highness! - Nanny Wang!

- Your Highness, I'm back! - Nanny Wang!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Nanny Wang.

His Majesty must have fooled us.

His Majesty deliberately let Ci"an and Cixi give up the pearl.

His Majesty didn't want them to disturb Consort Cao.

His Majesty still buried Consort Cao in Yuanming Pavilion.

Your Majesty.

Your Highness.

Empty.

It's empty.

These palace maids

who died here are so pitiful.
