The Fate Of Lee Khan

Produced by King Hu

Starring Li Li Hua, Hsu Feng, Tien Feng, Angela Mao

Wu Ging, Helen Ma, Pai Ying, Roy Chiao

Directed by King Hu

Genghis Khan, the father of the Yuan Dynasty.

Invaded China from Mongolia.

His grandson Kublai Khan conquered Cathay

By 1366, the government had so alienated its subjects

that many took up arms.

General Zhu led a force of 100,000 to oppose the Empire.

Apart from the war on the battlefield, spying was rife.

Chief Executive, Legislator and Inspector General for the provinces of Henan

Shenxi and Shangdong

was the "King of Henan". Prince Lee Khan.

Lee was both a mandarin and an aristocrat

He was devious, cunning,

an expert swordsman and extremely cruel.

His sister Lee Waner was his able lieutenant

Waner found a commander in General Zhu's army

who was willing to sell his army's logistical secrets.

He wants to deal with you directly.

But General Zhu's spies also knew about this.

An emissary was sent to Shenxi.

Yes, Sir?

Two buns, please.

Lee Khan will be coming here.

He may stay at the inn. Please notify Madam Wan.

Madam Wan, you should be prepared.

Do you know why Lee's coming here, Liu?

No. But I know General Zhu will send you assistance.

You will receive your orders then.

Goodbye.

Do you know who he'll send to help me?

No. I assume they'll come as inn guests.

Are you sure Lee Khan will stay at my inn?

He doesn't have a great deal of choice.

We also know he never stays at government premises.

I think it's likely he'll come here.

If that were true, the country official would have told me.

Not necessarily.

Lee's unlikely to divulge his itinerary to the local official.

What he will do is send an agent ahead of him.

You must be mindful of that.

Furthermore, this is not an easy mission.

You should enlist more help.

I'll summon assistance right away.

"Ying Chun Inn"

I hear the inn has engaged four new waitresses. They'll ruin my business.

Nonsense. Your old customers won't abandon you.

I hope you won't, Mr He.

Of course not.

What can I get you, Mr He?

- Some wine. - Right away.

Four jugs of wine!

Four beautiful girls serving tea.

There's also a gaming table.

- Gaming table? - Listen to me.

Sounds like the inn really means business.

Take the orders here, please!

This way, please.

Yes, sir?

Tea will do.

Jasmine tea, please!

I wish to see Madam Wan.

Welcome Lian!

- A towel! - Right away!

That will be all.

Thank you.

Waitress!

Coming! Yes, sir?

Fried lamb with shallots.

That one over there.

What's this?

Must be your tastebuds.

Nonsense. There's no salt.

I'll change it for you.

Yes, sir?

Have a drink with me.

That's against house rules.

This place is full of life.

The inn's been full since the waitresses came.

Are they reliable?

They were keen and excited when told about the mission.

I looked into their backgrounds.

They have a shady past.

I know.

They had no choice. Life hasn't been easy for them.

I heard that one is a common bandit.

They could jeopardize the mission.

They won't.

Damn! This is too salty!

Do you know what you want?

Sorry, sir. I'll talk to her.

Quiet! Back to work. This doesn't concern you.

Let it go. She's been admonished.

But...

Drinks on the house.

I insist.

You're very sweet.

Not like that bitch.

Let me.

When am I going to get my dinner?

Chase up this table's order!

Sorry, sir.

Give me.

It was his order.

Waitress!

Coming, coming.

What happened to our order?

Just coming.

That man's got our food.

I couldn't give it to you.

Why not?

Because there's a fly in it. Fancy eating food with a fly in it!

There's a fly in it and he's still eating it.

Get them their food.

Come here, please.

This is Mr. Liu and this is Black Peony.

Sir!

- The famous pickpocket? - Right.

I hope she's mended her ways.

Trust me.

Welcome. Table, please!

Do you have a gaming table?

Yes, do you gamble?

This way, please.

Something to eat, sir?

Any cakes?

Certainly.

May I join you?

Who's that for?

The banker.

Let me.

Your wine, sir.

Put it here.

Excuse me.

Thank you, sir.

Madam!

Return it.

How?

Coming, sir.

Give that to me.

I'll be the banker. Place your bets.

Sorry. I'll get it.

I can't find it.

Let me try.

Sorry.

Don't worry. Enjoy.

Good luck.

Come on.

You've even lost your third eye!

What are you doing?

Your hands are too soft for this type of work. What a shame!

Smooth talker!

I can do something about it.

I should be so lucky.

You're making fun of me. I'll punish you.

Rubbish.

What's going on?

He's a lecherous old man.

Put up with it. We can't afford any trouble.

Don't move.

Put all your money on the tables.

Can't we talk about it rather than use violence?

Clean up the table.

Please have mercy on us.

We won't do it again.

Rubbish! We'll make mincemeat out of you.

Lock them up at the back.

Let the game continue.

Very impressive.

I must go.

Stay a little longer.

No, I must go back.

Our emissary will be here soon. You must be vigilant.

Welcome, Mr Ha.

Who's that?

The local magistrate.

Where have you been?

I've been busy.

I hear you're running a brothel now.

Don't talk rubbish!

Then who are these women?

Waitresses.

Go upstairs. I'll join you.

Hurry.

You're very friendly towards him.

Being friends with him has its advantages.

What have you discovered?

Nothing yet.

Patience, something will turn up. Check the area again.

Is his presence here inconvenient for you?

He's just a fool.

Good.

Lee Khan will also be sending his spies here. Be careful.

Please sit down.

Wine and meat, please.

Wine and meat!

Not again!

Is this your first visit here?

What do you do for a living?

I do some trading.

Where are you from?

Dadu.

Staying here long?

Not necessarily.

Wan.

Where to?

I have work to do.

I wonder why you bother.

Don't talk nonsense.

Sir...

Over here!

Be right with you!

Get me some change.

Let the dice roll. This is a bad year for trade.

Only inns can make money diluting wine with water.

Serving rotten meat and leftover food.

Eat all you want, friends. You'll be more than regular. Throw away the laxatives.

Please understand...

I'll pay for my meal.

Let go of me.

Get out!

These are my new clothes. You've torn it.

I'll pay for my food.

Take his order.

What do you want?

What do you think I want?

How would I know?

Some wine and a bowl of noodle soup.

A bottle of wine and a bowl of noodles!

Roll the dice. And no cheating.

Difficult not to cheat when the dice are loaded.

Go away!

Don't be upset, sir. Gambling's a sin.

Get lost, idiot.

Why is this gentlemen so short-tempered?

It's the result of poor breeding and bad education.

- Come on. Get out of here! - Leave him alone.

Let me dedicate a song to you.

Hey now. Come on, stupid.

- Sit down. - Let me be.

If I can't sing, I can't pay.

Too bad.

That's your problem.

I can pay if I can sing.

Scoundrel.

If all customers were like you, we'd soon go bankrupt.

Hey, this way!

More bumpkins.

This way, please.

Yes, gentlemen?

Wine and two bowls of noodles.

You don't sing, do you?

What?

Nothing.

Wine and two bowls of noodles!

Goodness! The Bank wins.

May we join you, gentlemen?

Sure, the more the merrier! That way I can win more.

Place your bets!

Are you betting the entire amount?

Is that yours?

Yes, the more I bet, a bigger chance of me winning.

You're on.

Where did they go?

A clean sweep. This is wonderful.

Here is your wine, sir.

I'm busy. I'll have it later.

Bumpkins.

You're a nuisance.

I want you to drink this cup of wine.

Why should I?

You'll hate me if you don't.

My dear sir. I'm a waitress, not a hostess.

Nonsense. We're friends.

Drink it and I'll buy you a gold bracelet.

I will if you let me go.

Promise?

Why is your hand in the dish? You shouldn't drink so much.

Hello.

She's quite a girl.

Bitchy too.

I can't find anything suspicious here.

Check it out again.

Excuse me.

Where's the toilet?

That way.

There's something funny going on.

What do you mean?

The dice are loaded.

Hold your tongue. Go, if you can't afford to play.

Who are you talking to?

To you.

I want the dice changed.

Why didn't you so say so, earlier?

Stop arguing. Let's change the dice.

New dice please, innkeeper.

Certainly.

- I haven't won that much. - That's true.

Let's play.

Ok, ok.

What are you doing there, Xin?

Bring me good luck.

Actually, he's won more than I have.

Why is he complaining?

He won because he's lucky. It's different with you.

What do you mean? I'm not through with you yet.

Not through? What are you going to do?

You both should stop arguing. In gambling one can only win, lose or break even.

He's cheating!

I dare you to repeat that.

That old man's cheating. Let's sort it out.

How about letting me be the bank?

It isn't your turn yet.

Let him be the bank.

Gentleman, place your bets.

Changing the bank might bring us luck.

Place your bets.

Give me.

What's going on?

These are all yours.

Calm down.

He's the one cheating.

Certainly fooled me.

He's got all our money.

Give the money back and get out of here.

Come and get me if you dare.

Get rid of them.

Let us through and no one will get hurt.

The bag!

Hold it. It's only me.

Out of my way!

You mustn't play with weapons!

You're allowed to gamble but cheating is forbidden.

Leave the bag and you can go. Is that fair?

Bring that one here!

Don't let me catch you again.

Next time...

I've learnt my lesson.

Let them go!

Thank you.

Sorry, everyone.

What should I do with this?

Put it back on the table.

Wine, please!

Did we alarm you?

No, you handled things well.

We get this kind of trouble from time to time.

You stop that.

Let go.

A drink in hand solves all one's problems.

A few more and you'll be legless.

Now you get out of here!

Let me continue, so I can pay for my meal.

Don't sing. It's on the house.

Why?

I'll pay you for the song.

Thanks!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Will that be enough?

Yes, sir.

You needn't sing any more.

No, madam.

For the food.

Is it enough?

Plenty.

What should we do with him, madam?

Take him into the house.

Give me a hand.

Let me go. What do you think you're doing?

Why is Lee Khan coming here, Wang?

He's meeting someone here.

Who?

A traitor under General Zhu's command. He's seen the general's war plan.

Who?

Shen Tiansong.

The General Zhu's advisor?

Correct.

What now?

We await reinforcements.

Who?

They will be contacting us.

You can stay upstairs, Wang.

Follow me, Yun.

I want to talk to you.

Come outside.

You'll pose as our chef.

I understand.

Madam Wan.

Someone's passed out in the shed.

He's in bad shape. Get the medicine.

Forget it.

That man was sent here by Lee Khan. I met him in the capital. I killed him.

Bury him.

That drunk is a friend of his.

I doubt it. We just carried him inside.

His name is Wen. A brigand from the south. I don't know what he's up to.

Where is he?

Sleeping inside.

He was here a minute ago. He can't be far away.

We'll talk in the morning.

The way I see it, I suggest that... I leave the first thing tomorrow.

Let's go!

Who sent you?

Speak!

The prince sent me.

Who do you mean?

Lee Khan.

What for?

To search the place for rebels.

If you release me, I'll tell him nothing.

How many of you are there altogether?

Five.

Where are the rest?

One came with me.

He Xiaoqi?

The dead one?

And the other three?

The bandits who came earlier.

We've got them tied up at the back.

They've escaped.

Did you let them go?

Talk!

Yes, I did.

I've told you everything. Please, let me go.

Open up.

Kill him.

What took you so long?

You're very late.

I've missed you.

Rubbish.

Why aren't you in bed?

Two of my relatives came. I'll introduce you.

San.

Mr Ha,

my cousin and his valet. My cousin will help me keep the books.

Mr. Ha and I will go upstairs.

Will you take the two drunks to their homes?

Is he really your cousin?

Of course.

He could be an old boyfriend. Then I'd look like a fool.

There are easier ways to make a fool of you.

Would you really do that?

It depends.

You go after the others and I'll bury him.

Wake up!

Lee Khan will have left the capital. Let's go.

What kind of clown would play music out here?

Liu.

Welcome.

The cash book, ledger

and petty cash.

Are you really going to keep the books?

Don't I look the part?

Please sit.

Give me a minute.

Very well.

May I have some change?

Some change, please.

The first drawer.

It's all done.

Go and get some sleep.

Welcome.

Customer!

Service, please.

What do you want?

What? I want wine.

What?

I haven't finished. What's your hurry?

Also, two orders for my men. They're at the bottom of the hill.

Wait!

Did you hear what I said?

We don't deliver. Your men can come here.

Why? Do you only employ cripples?

Mind your language!

That's no way to talk.

Sorry, sir. We'll deliver it right away.

Xun!

Wine for two?

Right.

Deliver the wine now.

What?

Please do it.

See what they want to eat.

Some food?

Four dishes, please.

These girls haven't shown us any respect, sir.

We'll teach them a lesson. Let's wreck the place.

Fool!

We won't get our drinks, if you do that.

You want to wreck the place? Do it after our meal.

Nice one.

Let's drink.

It's a good idea. Smash up the place afterwards.

Trust our commander to find the solution.

Stop talking rubbish.

It's time I made some money.

Let me throw the dice.

Four, five, six.

You've lost!

Nonsense! They add up to six. I've won.

Look, winners takes all.

What good fortune!

That's leadership for you!

Rubbish!

Let me fill your cup.

- Cheers. - Good health, sir.

I was told to deliver this to you. It was a long trek.

Bring us more wine and some food as well.

Please...

Yes?

Please bring us some water.

Get going.

Wait.

Let's go.

Wait. You haven't paid yet.

You, listen. We're on official duty.

We don't pay anyone.

Stay out of this.

It's different here. Four coppers.

I see you can somersault.

Look, these two are actually quite pretty.

They're worth four coppers.

What do you think?

Fair price for a night.

Well?

You must be tired of living!

Take the place apart!

Stop! What do you think you're doing?

It's nothing.

They refused to pay and tried to molest us.

So what?

Who are you?

I'm the proprietor.

You must be in the wrong place. You can't get credit here.

That's your business.

Take it apart!

Why have you stopped?

What's this racket about?

We were...

What was the question?

You said to practise kung-fu.

We were practising kung-fu.

They were practising kung-fu.

Are you blind?

They were demolishing the place. Are you in charge or not?

Of course I am.

Listen, useless idiots! The court pays you to keep the peace.

You didn't pay and you've made trouble.

You've let the emperor down... And you've also disappointed me.

You...

Good-for-nothing rabble!

Get out of here!

Four coppers.

Pay for your meals in the future.

Understood.

We'll behave from now on.

Wait.

Commander.

Yes, madam?

Stealing's forbidden here.

Give it back.

Give it back to her.

One minute.

Your feather.

Thank you.

Your men have ordered some food.

Tell them all to go to hell! Let's go.

Thank you.

For you, sir.

There's a fight here every day.

Sorry about that.

The magistrate must be very close to the owner.

They're just friends.

Say something to the guests.

What about?

Gentlemen...

Please sit down.

What happened earlier... when disgraceful officials failed to pay their bill

and upset your game.

It's my fault they behaved so badly.

If my men give you trouble in the future, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Satisfied?

In addition...

There's more?

There'll be no further trouble here. Feel free to

enjoy yourselves. If anyone causes trouble within 100 miles, I'll...

Who could this be?

Lee Khan.

Magistrate Ha extends his greetings to Your Highness.

Who works here?

Don't move.

Show me your hands.

Do carry on.

Please rise.

Stand up!

Only those who work here need remain.

Mr. Ha.

Stand up!

Yes, Your Highness.

Are you in charge of this region?

Yes.

I'll stay here a few days.

I'll prepare a residence at once.

No. I'll stay here.

This place is unfit for you, Your Highness.

Will you be a guest in my home, instead?

We officials should be close to our subjects. Only way we can keep in touch.

Absolutely, Your Highness.

The upstairs quarters are ready, Your Highness.

The room near the courtyard is bigger and quieter.

You're familiar with this place?

Yes.

Do you also know everyone here?

I've been in this region for many years. No one's a stranger to me.

You needn't be concerned.

Who's that?

He is... The owner's cousin.

How long has he been here?

He arrived yesterday.

So you know everyone well?

Answer the questions truthfully.

Who's that over there?

The innkeeper's servant.

I mean he's... just a servant.

Sorry, he's... The book-keeper's servant.

Stand up.

Yes, Your Highness.

Is it peaceful in these parts?

With your blessing, the region is peaceful.

Any instances of lawlessness or corruption?

No, Your Highness.

Any rebel spies?

No, I'm always vigilant. I run a tight ship. They couldn't operate here.

That's very strange. I managed to find one.

Bring him here.

Bring him in.

Do you know this man?

No, Your Highness.

Have another look.

Well?

No, sir. I don't know him.

He used to work for General Zhu.

Nowadays, he works in your precinct.

I've failed in my duty.

Apart from the innkeeper, they can go.

You can all go. Except the innkeeper.

Your investigations are not very thorough.

Liu is not an ordinary man. He must have many followers. You must be more vigilant.

I imagine you'd know him, innkeeper.

I do.

You're in the same line. Of course you would.

Sorry for the intrusion.

I'm honoured.

You may go.

What do you suggest I should do with him?

All traitors ought to be beheaded.

Very well. Do it.

Behead him.

You're just scum, Lee Khan!

I curse you, Lee Khan!

Magistrate Ha.

Sir.

Your region... is not very tranquil.

I deserve to die a thousand times.

I'll inspect the region myself, tomorrow.

Your Highnesses...

Is it done?

Yes.

Is the region under control?

Yes. I arrested a few soldiers for corruption.

Whose soldiers?

Magistrate Ha's, sir.

Mr Ha...

What do you suggest I do now?

I'll obey your orders.

What do you think, Waner?

Behead them.

Isn't that a little harsh?

That's the only way to set an example.

Where are they?

Outside.

Bring them in.

Bring in the prisoners.

Any other business?

Are you staying here, sir?

This place may not be entirely safe.

What are you thinking?

Two people here are not locals.

Go to the room, Waner.

You're very thorough.

I wish to personally interrogate them.

Mr Ha...

Guard.

Bring me the innkeeper.

Be careful.

Wan Renmi.

Wan Xiu, but I seldom use it. I'm known as Wan Renmi.

Why did you hire new staff?

We needed them.

Why just before His Highness' arrival?

I didn't know he was coming.

Tell me about them.

They're traders.

Related to you?

My cousin.

Tea, please.

The other's his housekeeper.

Did you know Liu was a traitor?

No.

Why not? You knew him.

I told you the truth.

Don't treat me as a fool.

All your waitresses have shady pasts.

Tell me the truth or you'll regret it. Get out.

Take her to that room.

Mr Ha...

Fetch the book-keeper.

You've been summoned.

Inside.

Where are you from?

Dadu.

Why did you come here?

To visit a relative.

What did you do before? I want the truth.

Liar!

I can't help it, if you don't believe me.

Bastard!

Have you ever studied martial arts?

No.

Show me your hands.

Put him in that room!

Bring that man to me, Mr. Ha.

In there.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Our man's here.

I have three rules. One, no one's allowed upstairs.

Two, no one leaves the inn without permission.

Three, outsiders are not allowed in here.

Three more things. Kill Lee, steal the map and capture the traitor.

Is that clear?

Understood.

Remember, you're not allowed upstairs.

Your Highness.

Rise.

Is there anyone else here you suspect?

I've checked them thoroughly.

Including the new arrivals?

I've cleared them. They're escaping the drought.

Get Ha to lead the way.

He's the one.

Welcome, Mr. Shen.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Please rise.

Do you have the map, Mr. Shen?

Yes, sir.

Please peruse it, sir.

Good.

Mr. Shen. You've contributed much to the Empire.

I shall recommend that His Majesty reward you.

Thank you, sir.

There are spies everywhere in this region.

I won't keep you.

I understand. Farewell, sir.

What do you think?

He can only bring trouble.

Mr. Cao...

Certainly, Your Highness.

I couldn't find him, sir.

Why are you telling me this?

Keep looking.

Yes, Your Highness.

My guess is the map's in his box.

Leave that to me.

Find Shen and hide him.

I'll go.

He'll leave at dawn.

Try to delay him.

I'll try.

Compliments of the house, sir.

The innkeeper says...

Don't ever offer us wine again.

Take it inside, if they don't want it.

Care for a game of checkers?

I have no time.

- Want to play checkers? - Why not?

Know how to play?

No.

What nonsense!

You can teach me.

Get out of here!

You want to play?

Yes. I'll play him.

The guards?

They're busy.

Let's go to work.

- Goodbye. - Don't be too long.

What are you doing?

I'm going out.

Stay where you are.

No one leaves the inn without permission.

I have to visit my mother!

Not allowed.

Listen to me...

When will Mr. Cao be back?

I don't know.

My mother will starve!

That's not my concern.

I'm the sole breadwinner. If I don't return, my family...

I don't want to know.

I promise to return in an hour. Can I go now?

No.

I'll tell His Highness about this when he returns.

You'll do no such thing!

Then let me go.

No.

Who would know, if I slipped out for a while?

No.

Alright, I'll stay.

Very well, I'll stay here.

That way.

A great move. Look...

Be quiet!

Have you got it?

Show him.

Hell!

What's wrong?

It's a personal letter.

What can we do?

Mr. Cao.

Your Highness.

Have you got it?

The map wasn't there.

You must return the letter.

How can we?

Mr. Cao. His Highness called.

Yes, Your Highness?

We'll return to the capital tomorrow.

I have an idea.

Let's hear it.

It's too dangerous.

We haven't got much time.

I hear your relationship with the innkeeper...

is more than friendly.

I know it's wrong.

I don't care about your affairs. But spend more time at the office.

And show your presence more, in the future.

Mr. Cao, Your Highness.

Your carriage is ready, sir.

Good.

Give five bars of gold to the innkeeper.

Sure.

I've already paid her, sir.

On whose orders?

Prince Pun, madam. He said such things was far too trivial for Your Highness.

Very thoughtful of him.

Who's singing?

It's the book-keeper's servant. I'll tell him to stop.

No. Just a minute.

Let him continue.

He's very good.

It's a song of farewell. He is good.

He knows Your Highness will be leaving. Perhaps they'll miss you.

Ask him to come up and sing for us.

I feel it is inappropriate for him to come up here.

Let's go downstairs.

Very well.

Imagine there is a country. Two people lost in love.

A farewell embrace. Parting tears in your eyes. Imagine how it hurts.

Unbearable.

But you must go now.

The autumn wind is calling.

Who told you to come in here?

What are you doing here?

I came to change your sheets.

Where are they?

I... I forgot them.

You've got a nerve.

Mr. Cao!

Tell the men I'm not leaving tomorrow.

Someone's tampered with the lock.

After the jewellery?

I don't think so.

The two newcomers?

The book-keeper and his servant?

I doubt it.

To steal a letter?

Unlikely.

Cao.

He suggested we go downstairs to hear the guy sing.

The map!

Sit down, Mr. Cao.

Thank you, sir.

Mr. Ha...

Although you have very limited abilities,

you know your place. I shall recommend that you are promoted.

What do you think?

Thank you, Your Highness.

Innkeeper...

What is the normal turnover for this inn?

About ten bars of silver.

How much did Cao give you?

Five bars of silver.

He's very frugal with my money.

My stay here has affected your business. Due to us, you've had to hire more staff.

My inn was short of staff, before you came.

You're being too kind.

We've troubled all of you.

Mr. Ha.

Pay the innkeeper two hundred bars of silver.

Shouldn't you thank His Highness?

Thank you, Your Highness.

You should be more generous too, Waner.

Distribute my jewellery to the staff.

And a hundred bars for the dead girl's funeral expenses.

Come here, book-keeper.

The innkeeper may leave us now.

Thank you, innkeeper.

Book-keeper... By the way, what's your name?

I'm Wang Jun.

I see. From my observation, you appear to be a learned man.

What is your scholastic rank?

I'm still a student.

Your talents are wasted in this place.

I know my limitations. I daren't harbour undue ambition.

You're too modest.

It's not everyday one meets a talented man.

But there are also men... who conceal their talents.

Do you agree with me?

You are perceptive.

The Empire needs scholars. I'd like to offer you a position. What is your answer?

I may be a disappointment.

I think not. You can replace Mr. Ha as the local magistrate.

I'm nervous but honoured.

Thank His Highness.

Don't you want the appointment?

I am of the Han people. Besides...

I don't care what you are.

Yes, but...

Thank His Highness, Wang.

Thank you, sir.

Good. You may rise.

I hope you'll live up to my expectations.

I shall never forget your kindness, sir.

I have a job for you to do now. Will you do it?

I shall do my best.

Good.

Mr Wang... Did you know

the inn is harbouring a traitor?

I didn't know that, sir.

But I know.

Someone has tampered with my wooden box.

Tell everyone to be ready for trouble.

Do you know who opened my box, Wang?

No, sir.

I'm not surprised.

Cao...

Do you know?

I don't sir.

An oversight on your part.

The traitor we have here is very clever.

Wang.

The traitor knows that the box contains secret documents.

The traitor is...

Your servant, Sha Yunshan.

Come here!

I was always down here serving you, sir. How could I have...

Be quiet!

Come here, Wang.

You're a magistrate and he's a traitor.

Strangle him in my presence.

Mercy, sir. He's been with me for years.

I know him. He's not a traitor.

I beg you to review your decision.

My investigation was thorough. Execute him.

- Sir... - Do it!

What are you waiting for?

Sir, you know me. I'm innocent.

It's no use arguing.

- Accept your punishment. - Sir...

Please, Your Highness. I'm innocent.

I knew you were traitors all the time!

Surrender now and we'll spare your lives. If you repent, we may even give you a mission.

Think about it. Waitresses, stand aside!

Well, Wang?

How do I know you'll keep your word?

Step back. I'll come up.

Protect His Highness.

Lee's carrying the map. Hurry! After him!

You must get the map. I want to capture the princess.

You ungrateful mongrel!

Oh, no!

Get his sword!

Careful!

Let me.

Stay!

Leave me.

Stand still.

Put down your weapon!

Put down your sword, Wang.

Tell her to stop playing tricks.

Wan...

Come here.

Your Highness...

Go get help immediately, Cao.

And tell Ha to block all escape routes from here.

Let me have her.

Look, Lee Khan.

You traitor, Cao.

There's still time for you to change your ways, Lee.

Release the Princess.

Give us the map first.

You must be joking.

Release Peony now.

Let the Princess go.

No!

Quiet!

Let's free them together.

Untie her.

Let her go.

Stop her!

Cao!

Go!

Waner!

Come on!
