Here comes your wine

Please, enjoy yourselves

If you need anything，just let me know

You’ve served in the army for ten years

Cut down the enemy, breaking their formations

The military merits you’ve earned

outweigh all of ours combined!

It’s all thanks to the brothers

Mu Lan

are you sure you want to leave the army?

Yeah, I want to go back

and stay with my family

I’ve been fighting the Ru Dynasty for three days straight

and you only show me this?

Play “Breaking Formation” instead!

I don’t know how to dance

I’ll teach you!

“Breaking Formation”is my specialty

I’ll teach you myself! Hahaha!

Young lady! Don’t be afraid

Third Master! Third Master!

Miss Xuan was only invited to dance

It’s not what you think...

What am I thinking?

Who do you take me for?!

Young lady

Are you shy? No wonder with so many people around

You all, help me chase them away

Hey, you stay here!

I haven’t taught you the dance yet

“Breaking Formation”

the most important thing is the “break”

Go

Military rules forbid disturbing civilians

But these bastards

are just too abusive!

I’m no longer a soldier

Leave this to me

You go first

Get out!

Out!

Sorry, sir!

- Sorry, sir! - Sorry！

Ah hah!

There’s still one who isn’t afraid to die, huh?

What are you standing there for?

Help me!

What are you waiting for?

Attack!

Ah! Master, spare me!

I’m sort of a government official myself

My brother-in-law

he is Lord Wang from Yongzhou City Bureau!

Breaking the law knowingly—that’s worse

I’ll send you to the military camp now

You’ll be tried under martial law

- I was wrong! - I’m sorry!

Sir, how about this:

I’m willing to pay double

for everything we broke today!

Manager

Ay, here I am

What’s the order?

Assess the loss

Ay, Third Master, double is 50 coins

Pay him!

Alright, I’ll pay

Sir, I will definitely pay

Sir, can you

let me get up first?

Here

Thank you, Third Master

Sir, just now

I knocked over your things

Here’s some money to make up for it

Then I’ll...

leave right now

Get up! Get up! Everyone up!

Move! Hurry!

Hurry!

Third Master, please take care

Thank you, Third Master

All thanks to our hero for saving us

My hero

My name is Mu Lan

I heard your son

is very good at carving?

My son?

Great carving

Who are you?

Let me take you somewhere fun

Don’t touch my son!

Excuse me

Father! Mother! I’m back!

Father!

Mother!

Who are you?

I want to report to the official

Report?

Report what?

My father and Lord Ji were old friends

Please notify

Everyone says he wants to see Lord Ji

Why don’t I know you?

Go away

It’s urgent, please allow me to explain in person...

What the hell are you trying to do, foolish woman?

You dare attack us?!

I attacked officers; by law, I must be seized!

Now I can see Lord Ji, right?

You can’t even defeat a girl

How dare you look down on women?

Young lady

I’veseen your exceptional skills

You must have been in the army?

My father was a soldier

I learned some self-defense from a young age

You want to see Lord Ji, right?

Scoundrel!

I’ve inspected 12 counties

and the porridge you made

is the clearest I’ve ever seen!

Where is the relief grain from the prefecture?

You devoured it all, you parasites?!

Lord!

Look at these villagers

they’re starving and freezing!

And you’re taking more from them?!

Guards!

Take him to the jail

I’ll personally investigate his corruption

If you want to live, make proper porridge!

Get up!

If the porridge

can’t hold this chopstick upright

off with your head!

Okay

Bravo! Truly a just official!

Thank you, My Lord!

Sent a good official to save us!

You flatter me

Not at all

Save us

Lord Ji

this young lady has come to present her case

Lord Ji

my father and mother

are all dead

Your father is?

Mu Dingfang

You’re Mu Lan, daughter of Mr. Mu?

What exactly happened?

I suspect

they were murdered

Wu Liang! Get to the bottom of this!

Take a team to Mu Family Village immediately

Find the killer!

Yes, My Lord!

My Lord, Mulan has one more request

Just say it

My younger brother, Mu Hong, is missing

Please help me find him too

Mu Lan

there’s famine within a hundred miles

refugees everywhere

I suspect your parents

were killed by the refugees

Your brother Mu Hong is also in grave danger

But rest assured!

Even if I have to turn the land upside down

I will give you a proper answer!

Trust Lord Ji

Mu Lan

if you run into any difficulties

let Uncle Ji know right away

Thank you, My Lord!

Sir, I need two coffins

Wooden or fir

I want the best I can get

with this money

Make sure they’re delivered to Mu Family Village

today

Got it

Hey! Young lady! This is fake money

Fake money?

Look here

Recently, this area has beenseeing

a lot of counterfeit coins

Some people bring it to buy rice, others to buy cloth

Where did you get this money?

Here’s some money

to make up for it

Hey, sir

Come on! Come and see!

How’s business lately?

Third Master

You visit me so often

Only once a month

How about your tax?

Should be paid now

Third Master

Look, my little stall

hasn’t been doing so well lately

Could you give me a couple more days?

Brother-in-law, she says she has no money

No money to pay, is it?

Now will you pay or not?

I’ll pay!

Here’s my money

Let’s go and find Coffin-Liu

Coffin-Liu

You still haven’t paid last month’s tax, right?

If I don’t come

you’ll never hand it over

Come out now!

Or Lord Wang from Yongzhou City Bureau

will have your shop smashed

Coming, coming!

Ah! Here I am

Ah, Master Zhao, Master Wang

Ah, I was busy just now

Ah, right

business hasn’t been good this month

I only sold two cheap coffins

I can’t make the full payment

This is all I have...

Nonsense!

This rattan chest looks familiar

the pattern...

Brother-in-law

the woman who beat me in the tavern

was wearing this very armor!

That’s battle-armor

Stand straight

How many times have I told you

Don’t go fighting with the boys

But they bullied Mu Hong

Protecting family is not wrong

When it’s time to act, you act!

That’s our Mu family spirit

My daughter is stronger than any son

This bladewas used

by your father on the battlefield to slay the Ru enemy

Today I entrust it to you

Thank you, Mother and Father, for raising me

Come back alive!

And take care of yourself

Ay! Here you are

This family of three is finally all here

Brother-in-law

it was that woman who hit me at the tavern last time

You coward!

You can’t beat a woman?

Hey! Pathetic woman!

Not bad, hauling two coffins by yourself

Ay, won’t your parents feel cramped

lying underground?

Hahaha

You want to bury them here?

Have you asked for my approval?

This land belongs to my family

What business is it of yours?

It’s mine

Some fool already sold this land to me long ago

Call my brother a fool again

and I’ll break your leg

Ah, that fool is your brother

Then you’ll never see him again

Because I’m taking you to the magistrate

You stole this armor

Sir,

this is my most precious item.

I want to trade it for two coffins

This

I can’t accept this

Then I’ll leave it here as collateral

I’ll come back when I have the money

I only want my parents to be buried properly

Don’t touch my armor!

Seize her

Bow down

Useless trash

Don’t move

Lady, what are your orders?

My armor

Put it back

to the place where you found it

Ay, yes ma’am!

Goodbye

Brother! Ay!

You say you’ve seen my brother

Where is he?

I’m his good friend — the closest friend

After your parents died

I took good care of him

Really!

Take me to him

I’ll do anything — just don’t kill me

Since you say

you’re my brother’s close friend

I’ll invite you to a proper meal

Oh, you’re too kind

Actually I...

Get that woman killed for me!

Heroine

Are you here to save us?

Who are you?

We were kidnapped by them

They locked us up

and forced us...

These beasts!

Go home, now

Thank you, heroine

- Thank you, heroine! - Thank you!

By the way

have you seen a boy in his twenties?

Kind of dull-looking

Doesn’t speak much

I think I know who you mean

He’s being held in there

Thank you

Go now

Sister

I can take you there

I know this place well

Aren’t you afraid?

No, I’m not

Okay

Mu Hong

Mu Hong

Hong

Damn you!

He’s not just your brother anymore

He’s our best craftsman

Without him

This

No one here could carve this

Do you know

how hard I searched for him?

You!

Back off!

Take another step

and I swear you’ll lose your brother

You dare!

Why wouldn't I dare?!

Back off!

Back off!

Heroine

Have mercy

Have mercy

Tell me

Who’s backing you?

If I tell you, he’ll kill me

If you don’t tell me

your master will lose you right now

I tell you

He’s Su...

Supervising Commissioner of the Mint, Liu Huan

It’s all him

He took your brother too

I’m a miserable soul myself

Please, heroine, spare me

Today I spare your worthless life

Thank you, heroine

But I’ll make sure you remember this

What?

Master, are you all right?

Go

Seize them alive!

I’ll kill them all!

Young Lord

you shouldn’t take any more!

An overdose of Five Stone Powder

could cost you your life!

Then I should leave this to you?

I dare not

Dare not?

Then why don’t you fan me harder?

I’m so hot

This way

Mother, I’m scared

Why is she holding a sword?

Don’t be afraid

I’m not a bad person

Hey you

Have you seen two women and a man?

They went that way

Go!

Mom

wasn’t that woman running

that way?

Shh!

Young Lord

Lord Wang of the City Bureau has arrived

I pay respects toSupervising Commissioner of the Mint

Hahahahaha, your face

Ah

Handsome

As long as you like it, that’s enough

Spit it out

A foolish woman

broke into our mint

disfigured me like this

andsmashed the master coin

The worst is

she took that fool away

A woman?

Yes

Do you know my father

why sent me to this godforsaken Yongzhou?

To min... mint coins

Now the master coin is ruined

and the craftsman has been taken away

You know what?

I personally found that fool

I’ll go find a solution right away

You’ll find a solution?

Hahahahahaha

You should take some of this Five Stone Powder

It’ll make you much smarter

I’m not worthy of

such a miracle

I’d better go and find a solution

Hahahahahaha! Get out

Yes, My Lord

Hahahahahaha

We’ve arrived

You should go home

I have no home

Where’s your family?

They’re all dead

Please let me come with you!

If you come with me

you’ll only get into more trouble

Besides

I have more important things to do right now

I can’t look after you

I don’t need looking after

And I can help you look after your brother

What’s your name?

My name is Aju

My fellow villagers

my daughter Cui’er has come home

Dad, they locked me up

I thought I’d never see you again

Don’t be afraid! Your father’s here

Cui’er, how did you escape?

A heroine saved me

Ah! Thank the heroine! Thank heaven!

Thank our ancestors!

Thank our ancestors! Thank heaven!

Thank heaven!

Dad, it was her who saved me

Thank you, heroine

for saving my daughter

Mu Hong?

Mu Lan?!

Village Head

Thank goodness you’re back!

Village Head

I have something to ask you

Okay

Do you know Lord Liu

the Supervising Commissioner of the Mint?

He’s Liu Huan

illegitimate son of local garrison commander Liu Gang

He is in charge of numerous prefectures and counties

Even imperial officials

don’t dare oppose him

About 3 or 4 years ago

he came here with a group of people

and forcefully took this mountain!

Why did Liu Huan want this mountain?

The mountain is rich in copper

That bastard

melts copper

mixes it into coin metal to mint fake coins

He’s also taken the able men of these villages

to work as laborers

Didn’t you seek Lord Ji’s help?

Ah! He means well but has no power

Like a clay idol crossing the river

— he can’t even save himself!

If no one protects us

then we must protect ourselves

Sister

will you really go fight those villains? I’ll go with you

You’re not actually going after Liu Huan, are you?

If he does evil

I’ll never forgive him

Right

She’s only a child

She speaks foolishly

We didn’t hear anything you said

Go！go!

We should go home now

My fellow neighbors!

Fellow villagers!

The more you fear him, the bolder he grows

Fellow Villagers!

Hong

I have something to say!

Our parents are gone

I will find out how they died

From now on

we must rely on ourselves

But I give you my promise

Whatever happens

I won’t leave you

Mu Lan

I’ve never properly thanked you

Thank you for saving me

It’s nothing

We all lost our families

Think of this place as your home

Okay

How did you end up taken to that place?

After my parents died, I couldn’t make a living

SoI thought

I could survive by selling myself to a city household

I never imagined my master would be Liu Huan

I couldn’t tolerate it and tried to run away

And then I was captured and taken to the mine

But I’d rather die there

than serve Liu Huan

He’s a monster

I saw it myself

anyone who disobeys him

has their little finger cut off as punishment

Finger?

Aju

Are you familiar with the Liu estate?

Yes

Liu Huan is cunning

He has dozens of household soldiers

and a personal female guard named Bai Ling

She’s got great skills

It’s impossible for ordinary people to even

get in the door

Is there any way

to get close to Liu Huan?

He loves watching girls dance

Regularly he invites dancers to perform at his estate

Who are you? Where are you going?

My hero

My name is Mu Lan

Why are you here?!

I’ve been looking for you everywhere

Sorry, Lady Guardian Bai Ling

She’s a new dancer

Didn’t you tell her the rules?

This is a private courtyard

Only Lord Liu may enter

It won’t happen again, Lady Guardian

The banquet’s about to start

We must change and prepare for the dance

Go then

Ah... Stop!

The three of you dance poorly

You’re the best！You stay

The rest get out

Lord Liu

You smell divine

First time at my house?

Yes

No wonder

I’ve never seen you before

You’re beautiful

I have a fun game

One I used to play by myself

Now I’ll let you play，Hahahaha

Bai Ling

Have you seen two women and a man?

They went that way

Go!

They let an important person get away

One life must pay for it

Help me choose

The mother?

Or the boy?

Scared?

Hahahahahaha

It doesn’t matter

who you pick

Either is okay

I don’t mind

Choose

Quickly!

Have you made your choice?

Yes, I have

Who?

You

Hahahaha! Too bad!

You guessed wrong

I like watching women dance

But I love watching women fight more

Bai Ling

I’m bored of this

Let’s play again

You picked wrong before

Now it’s my turn

Shall I kill the mother

or the boy?

Ah! So difficult!

Go to that sister

Which sister?

The good one

Hurry, go!

You chose for me?

Take my child and go!

But you guessed wrong

I choose her

Lord Ji

Mu Lan?

Hey! That Liu Huan is so crazy!

All blame on my incompetence

I can’t help my people

I’m useless in my official robe

If you won’t act

then I will

Mu Lan

Mu Lan, come with me

Mu Lan

I’ve been secretly compiling

Liu Huan and his father’s crimes

ready for the day I can present them to the Emperor

so that the people can see justice

Lord, you missed one here

What?

Secretly minting fake coins

Under the Wei dynasty code

that’s treason

Do you have evidence?

I saw it myself

But I failed to secure the evidence in time

What a pity!

With witnesses and proof

even Liu Huan and his father

won’t escape the law

Hong! Aju!

What happened? Mu Lan

Wake up

Aju

you take my brother

to the capital and find the Imperial Guards

Give them this military token

They’ll understand

What about you?

I have unfinished business

Go now

Quickly

Hong

Sister will find you

Take care of yourself

understood?

Now go

Goodbye

Who are you? Where are you going?

What are you waiting for?

Try it

My Lord, this melting furnace

it won’t work

There were three coppersmiths

standing here

saying the same

My Lord, secretly minting coins

is a capital crime！

I dare not

Please let me go home!

Hahahahaha! Capital crime

Ha! Come!

Let’s play a game

If you cast the coins

I’ll give you wealth

and let you go home.

If you refuse

you’ll join the others

stay here forever

Mercy! Mercy, My Lord!

Please spare my life, My Lord!

Hahahahaha

You like games that much?

How about I play with you?

You again

You like to save people

I like to kill them

Hahahaha!

Interesting!

Bai Ling

Don’t disappoint me again

Again

Bai Ling.

You’ve followed me for years

You should know

I never

keep idle people here

You kill even your own people

You’re a beast!

Great!

This is great!

Mu Lan

the evidence is solid

Tomorrow morning I’ll report it to the Emperor

and bring Liu Huan to justice

Thank you, My Lord!

Mu Lan

you just retrieved crucial evidence from Liu Huan

He will not forgive you

For now, my yamen is the safest

Tonight you stay here at my place

Tomorrow let’s go to the capital together

Alright

Thank you for your hard work

Have a good rest now

This time you’re finished！

Who’s there?

Hong

Hong

why are you here?

Are you hurt?

Where’s Aju?

Who is it?!

How dare tobreak into the yamen

Lord Ji, it’s me

Mu Lan

Why are you here?

Do you know the crime of

trespassing the yamen at night?!

Seize them!

Didn’t you ask me to stay?

Reporting to My Lord

This is where we keep a state criminal

Miss Mu Lan visits at night

armed with a blade

apparently to rescue someone

Lord Ji

He’s my brother Mu Hong

He cannot be a state criminal

He’s a spy sent by the Ru Dynasty

I have an arrest warrant

My brother is an honest person

He only knows how to carve wood

He’s no spy!

He’s signed and committed his crime!

This must be a mistake

Mu Lan

you broke in at midnight

trying to free an imperial detainee

Any defense can be made in court tomorrow

Wu Liang

take them down

Mu Lan

stop this futile resistance

or

don’t blame me for being ruthless

Put the sword down

If you don’t, I will kill your brother

I see now

Thiswas all your setup

That masked man was him

You led me here

to frame us

You’re in league with Liu Huan

Hahahaha! Clever!

I tried to stop you

but you insisted on digging deeper

I know you would find me sooner or later

So I must make you vanish from Yongzhou

Ji Shixun

you two-faced wretch!

Wu Liang

take them away

Yes, My Lord

Move

Why is Mu Lan here?

How could Mu Lan possibly be a spy!

Spy Mu Lan

colluded with the the Ru Dynasty

Not only did she spy on the military plans of Wei

but also broke into the yamen at night

trying to free an imperial criminal

How could Mu Lan possibly be a spy?

My Lord, this must be a mistake!

I’ll have you escorted to the garrison commandant’s

Away with her! Right now!

This court is dismissed!

You rotten official! Where’s my brother?!

Rest assured — as Yongzhou’s magistrate

I will assign people to properly

care for any civilians who need protection

This court is dismissed!

Lord Ji, you see clearly

Mu Lan could never be a spy!

I understand the people’s suffering

I know you’re short of food for the winter

So I’ve dared to disobey orders

and opened the army’s grain stores

to provide relief to everyone!

By imperial decree

any prefecture that kills over ten thousand enemies

is exempt from taxes for one year

Therefore, I propose this arrangement

for each enemy killed

your whole family can have free porridge for a month

So Lord Ji

does that mean we really have to kill a Ru soldier

just to get a meal?

The court counts merit

by enemy ears

From tomorrow

those who bring in enemy ears

will be recorded and verified

and porridge will be distributed accordingly

A month, huh

I still have official duties

to plan the next step in the disaster relief

and strive to win more grain

for the people of Yongzhou!

Thank you, My Lord!

Lord Ji, you’ve worked hard!

My good people, you’ve suffered enough!

Thank you, Lord Ji!

About the ears

how exactly?

About the ears

just ask my officers

they’ll explain it clearly

- Ah! - Thank you, My Lord!

Farewell！

My Lord, take care!

Lord Ji, take care!

Officer

how exactly does this ear thing work?

Yeah, how do we do it?

The Lord wants ears, so I count ears

As for where the ears come from

I don’t know

Go, go, go!

Where are we supposed to find ears?

Mother

I'm starving

I want to eat

Wait a second

You can have some congee in a minute

Sir

my son is starving to death

Please, have mercy and give us a bowl of porridge

Go, go, go!

Give it to her

By the Lord’s order

no ear, no porridge

You want to rebel?

What are you doing?

Put the ear in the bucket

Name?

Chen Xiaomei

Go collect your porridge

You have a month of porridge

Thank you, sir!

Thank you, sir!

Here

Careful

My Lord

will this method work?

Liu Huan’s men are watching closely

grain has been requisitioned three times already

If we don’t go find “the ears”

what will we live on through the winter？

I mean

If the higher-ups ask

how are we supposed to explain this

Ah

In troubled times

we’re not the only ones falsifying battle reports

Even if the Emperorwants to interfere

it’s more than he can handle

Without these “merits”

how will we pay the garrison commander’s taxes?

How will we have capitalfor promotion and wealth?

Are we going to spend our whole lives

stuck in this cursed Yongzhou?

But My Lord

this method is too cruel to the people

You’re teaching me how to do my job?

I wouldn’t dare

Ten years ago, at the northern border

you were left for dead by the enemy

If I hadn’t carried you back to camp

you’d already have been eaten by wolves

in the wilderness！

From that moment on

your life belonged to me!

Rather than watch them starve to death

I’ve gone above and beyond

You just need to

keepthe collected “merits” well

and don’t let them rot and stink

Don‘t let it get snatched by the rats！

Yes, My Lord

Damn you!

Why is it so slow to escort one person?

Cocky, huh?

Weren’t you so cocky that day?

You didn’t expect

this day to come, did you?

- If you want to kill me, just do it! - Don’t talk nonsense

You want to die?

Not so easy

Lord, they are here

The Ru people?

Bring her this way

Hey

Been waiting a long time, hahahahaha

Ah-heh-heh

Where’s the person I wanted?

There

I never imagined

the fearsome General Mu, dreaded by all

would turn out to be a woman

I came a long way to bring her to you

so, what you’ve got for me

Ah-heh-heh-heh-heh

Bring the person here

Sharp

Please wait a moment

I still have a score

to settle with her

Just a moment! Hahaha

Hurry up

You colluded with the Ru

betraying the country!

Do you know

why we fight wars?

Money! For money!

General

I’ll let you die knowing the truth

The ten-year war

Between Wei and the Ru Dynasty

were arranged by garrison commander Liu Gang

and the Ru chieftain

If not through war

how else could Commander Liu make his fortune？

You beasts!

The other day you ruined my face

for that idiot

You really care about your little brother, huh?

Today I brought him here

I’ll make you watch him

die right in front of you

Bring him over

Hong

What are you playing at, little fool?

Little fool

look here

this is your sister

If you’ve got anything to say to her

say it now

Hong! Hong!

What are you doing?

He can’t even speak properly

what are you afraid of?

Put it down

Come

Stab here

Right here

Let your sister see you’re still a man

Come!

Come on!

Didn’t your sister teach you how to kill?

Huh?

Killing someone

this is how it’s done

Hong!

You’ve stained my treasure

Live on

Ah

Come protect me

On my orders: kill her!

Bro, help me out

Kill that woman

Great Khan wants her alive

Ah

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Take me with you! Take me with you!

It was Ji Shixun and Liu Huan who forced me

Spare me! Ah

You’re here to kill me, right?

I’m just following orders

Do it

The one who wants you dead is Lord Ji

Today I won’t do it

Why?

Because I was once a soldier too

In you

I see the me of ten years ago

But the me of ten years ago is already dead

I don’t want this world

to lose another spark of justice

Where are you going?

By Lord Ji’s order

to hunt that woman called Mu Lan

Hong

I promised I’d never leave you

Come! We’re going home!

Hyah

Mu Lan, I’m so sorry

We were just outside the city gate

they noticed me and Hong

I grabbed Hong with all my strength

But they managed to take him away

Where’s Hong?

He is

He is dead

I’m sorry

It’s all my fault

I should’ve held him tight

I didn’t take care of him

Sorry, Mu Lan

I will revenge for him

Can you do it

by yourself?

Hahahahaha!

I was busy with official business

sorry to have kept you waiting

Lord Ji

You wanted to get rid of a woman, fine

You wanted to use me as bait, fine

But

you ought to tell me first, right?

Young man, you don’t know

this Mu Lan is no ordinary woman

The Emperor has already

issued papers to all the prefectures

Not only has he pardoned

her crime of defying the Emperor

he’s also granted her the title of Associate General

It’s also ordered that

she is to be brought before the Emperor at once if found

But she fears they’ll find out she’s a woman

and doesn’t yet know

I need a perfectly legitimate reason

to get rid of her！

Lord Ji, you’re clever

But don’t forget

in Yongzhou, my father makes the rules!

Hungry?

Let’s start our meal

I’d like to

propose a toast to you

If you want porridge, go to the East Gate

Don’t cut off ears

Don’t cut off ears

There’s food at the East Gate

Anyone who wants porridge, go to the East Gate

Hurry to the East Gate—there’s food

Mu Lan will be there waiting for you

Let’s go

Cut mine

No

Don‘t cut it

Leave the ear

Mulan and the villagers

are on their way to the yamen

We’ll have grain soon

Let‘s go

Thank heavens!

Report, My Lord

There’s a crowd causing trouble at the East Gate

Just drive them off

won’t that do?

Anyone who is disobedient

arrest them

Yes, My Lord

Lord Ji

do you feel

anything unusual tonight?

Nothing

Keep drinking

Hahahaha! Come on!

We want food!

What the hell are you doing？

Disperse immediately！

Mu Lan’s come!

Mu Lan! Mu Lan!

Mu Lan’s come!

What are you going to do?

Make way!

Mu Lan

you called us here

Didn’t you say there was food?

Where’s the food?

Yeah, where’s the food?

I, Mu Lan, return today in armor

Not for private revenge

but to seek justice for the people of Yongzhou!

I’ve gathered you here

to accuse Yongzhou’s magistrate

Ji Shixun of six major crimes!

Ji Shixun?

Isn’t a good official?

Isn’t JI Shixun a good official?

Everybody, listen to me!

First

Ji shixun toletates Wang Damao’s lawlessness

greed, corruption, and tyranny in the county!

Second

he turns a blind eye to the villain Liu Huan

who scorns the law and kills at will!

Third

seizing wealth by force

and exploiting the common people!

Fourth, falsifying battle reports

and secretly hoarding government grain!

Fifth, illegally minting coin

and scheming for wealth at the cost of lives!

Sixth

conspiring with the enemy to betray the nation!

Mu Lan

do you have proof?

The evidence is in the prefectural storehouse

I dare wear this armor here today

and stake my life on it

if I lie

may I be cut to pieces

My fellow people

think of your families

If what I say is true

then they can be saved

We should trust Mu Lan for now

If she’s telling the truth

our families can be saved

Yes! That’s true

I’ll follow you

I’m willing to come with you

Let’s go! Go!

Stop! Stop!

This is government property

No unauthorized entry!

Do you want to defy orders?

Back! Everyone, step back!

Back!

You incited the people

to break into the government compound

You’re committinga crime!

Government compound?

When Lord Ji minted fake coins

and colluded with our enemies

did he ever think this was a government compound?

All the people here

have lost their homes and families because of you

My poor son

died because of you

Leaving me

with his two children

We’re starving!

We want food!

My fellow people

every coin and grain here

was bought with our blood

Today

we’ll take it back together!

Take it back!

Take the money! Take the grain!

Take one more step forward and see what happens

Do you want to be killed?

You have families too

If your families

were like theirs

how would you feel?

Choose for yourselves

Which side are you on?!

Come! Let’s go inside!

Let’s go!

Neighbors! Come quick

There’s food here

Wow, look at all the grain

Mu Lan

The warehouses inside

are full of grain

You help everyone to divide the grain

I’m going to take the heads of those two！

Be careful yourself

Don’t worry about me

The sky over Yongzhou is about to brighten

My Lord

The people broke into the government compound

The granary and the treasury have been emptied!

Weren’t you ordered to arrest them?

There were too many of them

We couldn’t catch them all!

Then send more men to seize them

Yes, My Lord！

Lord Ji

they’re just some peasants

Why are you so panicked?

Looks like

you’re not a man for great deeds after all

Young man

if anything happens to me

no matter who your father is

you’ll come with me to the grave!

Wu Liang

Take your people to seize their leader！

Yes

Mu Lan

I thought you were dead？

I’m tough!

Heaven won’t take me yet!

Wu Liang

you lied to me

Didn’t you say you’d killed her already?!

My Lord

I beg you

Stop this

Mu Lan

For your father’s sake

I’ll spare you

Now get out of Yongzhou

You have no right to speak my father’s name！

Mu Lan

I leave it to you

My life

is returned to you

Damn it

Young Lord

kill her right now

From now on I’ll follow whatever you say

We’ll go on to wealth and glory

Get out of here

Okay

Was it worth it?

For the people

Yes

So much nonsense！

Hey, my people

You came for Liu Huan, right?

That man’s crimes

are monstrous

I’ll take you to catch him

Ji Shixun

We just found tons of grain at the yamen

Tell us

How long do you think you can keep lying to us?

Say it! Say it!

My people! My people!

This grain

is the winter food I prepared for everyone

We’re about to distribute it

Who believes you?

Neighbors

do you trust what he says?

No! Liar!

Then let’s seize him together!

Okay!

My people!

My people!

No feeling

You remind me of someone

Who is it?

Who are you?

Oh

Your father

When I killed him

he had the exactly same look

as you have now

Let me take you somewhere fun

Don’t touch my son!

I’ll kill you!

I don’t understand

You’ve already escaped

so why come back to die?

For what?

Because

I want to cut down all the evil in this world!

There is so much

evil in the world

How could you cut it all down? Hahahahaha

Mu Lan

How shall we deal with him?

Escort him to the capital

at daybreak

Then we’ll settle accounts properly

Ah

The people of Yongzhou

have slain an enemy

Father

Mother

Mu Hong

You’re all gone

I’m leaving Mu Family Village

to root out the evils of this world

I will return to see you

Where are you going, Mu Lan

The fire in the hearts of Yongzhou’s people has been lit

I want to take this flame

to more places

You can do it！

A single spark can start a prairie fire!

Hyah! Hyah...
