"Mei Clan Ancestral Shrine"

Get out here

Are you the clan's chief?

No

Then where is he?

I don't know

Tell us or we'll kill you

I'm right here

You robbers

You've repeatedly killed members of my clan,

...snatched our women

Aren't you afraid of the laws?

What laws? I'm the law

Tell us where the treasure map is

Don't know

Tell us now!

Don't know

Don't bother talking to him

Last chance

No!

The Chief told us to search for the map

We're not here to kill

I'll kill him if he doesn't tell us

And we'll burn this place down

Burn it down!

No, don't do that...

Stop it! Didn't you hear me?

Don't burn down the place!

We're late again

Let's go

Don't bother

Let's go back to our village first

Alright

Doggie

Uncle...

Those robbers...

They are my sworn enemy

They did this...

because they want our treasure map

Did they take it?

No, the map's gone missing for a long time

It's missing?

I don't know who stole it

Uncle...

Our homes are ruined, the shrine is burnt down

Are we going to sit here and await death?

I went to learn martial arts...

hoping to take revenge for our Mei Clan

But Hulu valley

...isn't that easy for us to infiltrate

If our plans are exposed

Not only that we won't have our revenge

We'd also ruin everything

Brother Fengchun, if we can't go at the front

We can reach the mountain from the back

There are many traps at the back

Even their own people would avoid that route

Then we won't get our revenge?

We will

But we must figure out the paths up their base first

But...

That's Uncle Mei

Master Li Jiu...

Master Li Jiu

Master Li Jiu

Strange! Where is he?

Master Li Jiu

You're late!

You said that you could...

get a hold of the treasure map, is that true?

I've brought it with me

I went through tremendous efforts

...for this

If the Mei Clansfolk find out

...they will kill me

Excellent...

Our Chief ransacked the Mei village

...several times just for this

Who'd have thought that you have it!

Then I could seek shelter up the mountain?

Shouldn't be a problem

Our Chief will value you since you have the map

But...

But what?

If the map is fake, watch out for your head

I wouldn't dare to deceive the Chief

Don't worry, let's go

Not yet, I need to run some errands in Luo City

I'll be back in about 15 days

What? Do I have to wait here that long?

Don't worry

This badge is your entry pass

Head to Celestial Teahouse by the river tomorrow

Look for the 'Red Chilli'

Red Chilli? I shiver every time I see her

Don't be afraid... come here

Listen well

When you're in the teahouse, take a pair of chopsticks

...and place them like this

Put a wine glass here

This is the word "Up"

She'll ask, "How high is the sky?"

You'll answer, "How deep is the ocean?"

Then she'll say, "The sky is 33 floors high"

And you reply, "The ocean is 66 feet deep"

Then throw the badge inside the bowl

Once the badge is verified you'll be taken to the base

Present the map to the Chief

Then you can have anything you want

Let's go now

No, it's too late now

Stay here for the night

And head to the teahouse first thing in the morning

Right, I'm off now

I'll see you at the mountain

See you over at the base

I can have anything I want

How high is the sky? How deep is the ocean?

The sky is 33 floors high, the ocean is 66 feet deep

Stand still

Uncle Mei,

Our village has just been ransacked by the robbers

And yet you have your own secret agenda

You're about to present our treasure map to them

Are you inhuman?

He's a black sheep

There's no need to talk to him, watch out!

We're blessed by our ancestors

With this

We can go up the mountain using his identity

But there's only one badge

I'll try to sneak in first

Wait for my news

Be careful of Li Jiu

Once he's gone back

Then it's all over

Don't worry, we're here to take care of that

But how will we communicate?

That...

It's almost the Lantern Festival

After finding the way at the back of the mountain...

I'll put the road map inside the floating lantern

After you get the lantern, call for...

the officers' help to attack them from all sides

But how will we know...

which one is your lantern?

There'll be plum blossoms on it

Mister, please... sit wherever you like

What would you like to eat?

A pot of wine first

Yes

What would you like to drink?

Nothing

Anything to eat?

No

Call your boss out here

Our boss isn't here

What can I do for you?

I'll pass your message to him

Damn you!

Just tell us where your boss is

I've just told you

Our boss isn't here

Let me tell you

Everyone knows that

...this teahouse is an outpost for Hulu valley

We're here today

not to make a scene;

We just need some cash for the road

Is that all?

I thought it's something important

In that case, you don't need to talk to my boss

I can help you

We have a rule that

As long as you're on our side

If you need any help

We can give you upto 10 taels of silver

That will be a total of 20 taels for you both

You'd give that to us?

Yes, that's our rule

That can be your travel expense

Damn you!

We're here to borrow money

...and not to beg

Listen up. Anything less than 500 taels,

and I'll wreck this place first

Then I'll mess up your base on the mountain

That's very arrogant of you

You should have done your homework

Do you have any idea what place this is?

How dare you to make a scene here?

Today, if I, the Red Chilli

would lose to you two

Then not only 500 taels but...

We'll be delighted to pay you 5000 or 50000 taels

Charge

Thank you for that

You're welcome

What's your name?

What are you doing here?

Mei Danui, I have a favor to ask

How high is the sky?

High deep is the ocean?

The ocean is 66 feet deep

The sky is 33 storeys high

Come with me

Hand it over

What?

The badge

Have you brought the treasure map?

Yes

How much do you want?

Money isn't a concern for me

I had no choice but to present the map...

In order to get my revenge at the Mei Clan

There's been a lot of resentment for many years

I'm here to seek shelter

Seek shelter?

From what I've seen just now

Your skills are pretty impressive

But we have stern rules

It's not easy to pass all the tests

You better think it over

No second thoughts

I'm ready to face the challenges

Come with me then

What are you looking at?

Just admiring the view

Are you trying to memorize the place?

Not at all...

Let me tell you, there's no point

What to talk of you...

Even those of us who grew up here

We could get lost without someone leading the way

Give way

Yes, give way

You see that?

You'll be in pieces if you fall down

Just go home after you've presented the map

Let me try

Not bad at all

You're really called Mei Daniu?

Of course

Good looks, but bad name

That's because when I was little

I was plump and big, that's why...

Looked like a bull

Look, everyone must walk through here

For those who want to seek shelter

...must pass here

Do you have the guts?

Let me try again

Please

Hey, be careful

Got it

The young chief is here...

Who's he?

Mei Danui, here to seek shelter

Follow me

Wait here

Chief

Mei Danui of Banqiao's Mei Clan

here to seek shelter

Seek shelter? Has he passed?

Yes, I've tested his skills

He's quite good

Send him in

Come inside, Mei Danui

Good day, Chief

You're Mei Danui?

Yes

You have the treasure map with you?

Yes

Do you really want to seek shelter here?

Yes

I've presented you the treasure map

Meaning I broke our clan's rules

I will be severely punished if I go back

Why did you do it?

Because I want to get back at them

I am an orphan

and was brought up by my uncle

Then after he died

The Clan not only didn't help me

but also they treated me as bad luck

They shut their doors whenever they see me

That's why I hate them all

Chief, I knew that you've been searching for this

That's why I stole this

and presented this to you

Chief, for the sake of me presenting this map

Please take me in

Take you in?

Men, catch him

Dad

Chief, what do you mean?

Mei Daniu, some nerve you've got!

You tried to infiltrate us by presenting this map

You must be a spy

Dad

Shut up

You had a good plan

But I know what you're up to. You must die

Men

Yes, chief

Cut his head off outside

Yes

Wait, why are you laughing? Are you scared of death?

You've looked down on me

I'm not scared of death

I guess I've made a wrong assumption

I've heard so much about Hulu valley

and especially the Chief. Now that I've met you

I know that you're nothing but a village bum

What did you say?

You think ill of others because of your own meanness

You won't achieve much

One day the soldiers will get your mountain fortress

I'm done. Go ahead, kill me!

Wait, come back here...

Mei Daniu, you've got guts

That was just a test

A test?

As long as you're loyal to me

I'll make it worthwhile

Thank you, Chief

I'll be honored to take orders from you

Congratulations

From now onwards

Mei Danui is the fourth incharge here

Congratulations

Wait, I oppose

What?

Yes, I oppose

For years we've been working for you

We've done and sacrificed a lot

He's done nothing to deserve such post

I don't think it's fair

He presented the treasure map

So that we'll always have enough food and money

He's made his contribution

I don't care about the map

If he wants to stay here

He must get a number from me first

How?

A duel

Then...

He is...

Our Third Chief

With pleasure, Third Chief

I'd like to see this

But we're all family here

I don't want to see anyone hurt

Please

Back off

Yes

What are you doing?

Third Chief, your dart sack is here

Third Chief, I think we should stop here

Be lenient

Fourth Chief

Take some men to dig up the treasure tomorrow

Not tomorrow

Why not?

The Mei Clan must have reported to the officials

...since they've lost the map

We can't risk it

Let's go some other time

Fine

Pearl, send someone to gather news

Yes

Men

Yes, chief

Clean up the Tiger Den. Let the 4th Chief take rest

Dad, I'll show him the way

Sure

Let's go

Xiaohua

Pearl

Is nanny here?

I'm here

Nanny, let me tell you a joke

Whatjoke?

It's embarrassing

There's one who seeks shelter here today

I thought he's just a wishy washy man

But he's impressed me

He's passed the tests beautifully

Sister Pearl,

are you impressed with his skills or him as a person?

Both

He's not worth it

He won't be a good man seeking shelter here

You can'tjump to conclusions

We aren't terrible people

Do you think nice men will join us as robbers?

Maybe he's got his problems

He doesn't look like a bad person

Listen to her, mom

He's just got here and Pearl is already taking sides

I think she's fallen for him

Nonsense

That's the truth

You wouldn't say such things about him otherwise

Never mind...

Pearl, about that man

Where is he from?

Banqiao's Mei Clan

Banqiao's Mei Clan?

He said he's called Mei Daniu

So, do you know him?

No... I don't

Strange, why is she acting like this?

Because of her age?

Pearl, I have something for you

It's still warm, what is this for?

The temperatures vary from day and night

Wear this when you're patrolling at night

Thank you, where did you get this?

I picked this up in a temple

About the young man who came here today

I don't like him a bit

Back there if it weren't for the Chief...

I'd have kicked his ass

Yes, sure. I think he was lenient

Or you'd be a fool

What are you talking about?

Why are you speaking for him?

I'm only telling the truth

Fine, you're on his side

You'll regret later

We don't know his background, don't fall for his trap

Dad, now that you've got the map

And you've got new help, it's something to celebrate

I'll toast to you

Cheers

Yes, but we'll have to wait for half a month

It's hard to bear

Since you've got the map, that shouldn't be a problem

You can dig up the treasure anytime, no need to rush

Yes, but I'd rather have the treasures with me soon

Chief, those officers are goodfornothing

And it's not that we haven't fought them before

Once they see our people

They'd flee

We've to leave the mountain tomorrow morning itself

Catch them off guard

Second Chief, you have your point

The soldiers we faced back then were goodfornothing

But they've got Mei Fengchun on their side now

He's a master of pen and the sword; great in war too

If fighting him in a duel

With the Second and Third Chiefs' ability

I don't think he'd pose a problem

But when we're on the battlefield

Do you think our followers can put up a good fight?

That...

What do you think?

Firstly

Teach our men some attack & defence tactics

They must guard their positions

Secondly, you two could lay siege to Mei Fengchun

The Chief, Miss Pearl and I can help out

Then the soldiers won't be a problem

Thirdly, we must get news of the soldiers

We'll catch them off guard

Excellent plan...

But who could teach the tactics?

I know Sun Tzu Military Tactics. I'd be glad to help

Great

Then it's yourjob; starting tomorrow

The kid knows what he's doing

Damn! Who does he think he is?

Ordering us around?

Exactly

The Chief listens to his sweet words

He'll teach the tactics? Damn it!

Anyone can teach those

Why is Pearl on his side?

The kid knows what he's doing

He just got here & already put our fiery girl on spell

You shouldn't be that stubborn...

We have many girls here

Just like me

I can be with whoever I like

Who else can compare to you?

No, I can't forget about her

If you like her that much...

why don't you ask the Chief's wife?

She's your elder sister after all

I'm sure she'll be more than happy to help

That's right

What's the use?

She kept telling me to take it easy

Well, she isn't the desperate one

Let's stop talking about this...

Let's have a drink

Good idea

You can pick a girl here afterwards

We have a wide selection to choose from

Cheers

There's an intruder, come on

Pearl, it's me... Mei Daniu

You! What are you doing here?

I just wanted to have a stroll after dinner

The back mountain is offlimits; I've warned you often

Now you know

You're lucky that I'm on duty tonight

If someone else is in charge, that's a different story

You'd be certainly taken for a spy

Men

Yes

Let him down

Yes

Thank you

That was scary

There're many traps here, be careful

Sure

Let's go

Damn it! You came here so early in the morning

You didn't wait on me but you came here?

It's the Chief's order, we were told to practise here

The Chief? Still... I didn't want to sleep alone

If you sneak out of bed so early next time

I'll beat the hell out of you

You can't ruin our practice

Practise? Damn

It's the Chief's order

I don't care! Go!

Wait! You can't drag her along like that

Stop it

Mei Danui, you forget your place

Challenging the Second Chief?

Chief, he interrupted the practise

...and started this

You can't blame me for this

I don't care who's right and who's wrong

You can't do this now, just go!

I'm going to kill you next time

Red Chilli

Red Chilli

I've been expecting you

Who are you?

Don't you know Mei Fengchun?

Wait, don't let her run off

Danui

Danui

What are you doing?

Nothing

Sleeping

Xiao Wang told me

The Second Chief is too unreasonable

The Chief told you to lead the practise

The Second Chief had no right to interfere

It's more important to practise than to serve him

The Second Chief is rash

I don't want to get in a fight with him

You're very forgiving

Not exactly

But since he's the Second Chief

I have to respect him

Let's go, everyone's waiting

For me?

The temperature here is lower than down the hill

It's starting to get cool, even though it's only July

Everyone's drinking and enjoying themselves

You shouldn't stay here on your own

I don't want to go

If you so wish

They might get in trouble when drunk, I'm off now

Alright

This is for you

For me?

I know you don't have many clothes

This is for you to wear during night patrol

I'm not afraid of the cold, you keep it

Come on! It's my good intention

Just don't run around when I'm not here

Damn it!

What is it?

Never mind

I could guess

Because of Mei Danui again?

Exactly

I gave a cloak to Pearl

Not only that she doesn't wear it

She gives it to Mei Danui instead

You weren't there

The way they were flirting

I just couldn't stand it

He's way out of line, and he's only new here

What will happen if he stays on longer?

That's why we need to talk

If we don't get rid of him soon

We wouldn't be able to enjoy life here

But we can't make it too obvious

If the Chief finds out

He'll say that we are mean

Second brother, we shouldn't take this

You must think of something

It's all or nothing

Let's attack him in the dark

Alright, let's go

See what he'll do next

It's a dummy

What?

What's the matter with him?

I think he must be a spy

Placing a dummy here

He might be checking out the traps now

A spy or not

He's up to no good

Right, let's report to the Chief

Wait, don't let him have his chance

Or Pearl will be speaking for him

Let's sound the alarm at the main hall

Catch him off guard

Right, we'll have proof

So Mei Danui wasn't lying

There were soldiers stationed in the temple

It's good that I wasn't rash

But Mei Fengchun should have better skills

I've fought him

His skills were only average

He couldn't really catch up

I didn't put my mind into it

If I did, and I'm not bluffing

He won't be able to win

Then I'm quite relieved

What is it?

I was patrolling and I saw a person in black

I followed him up to the Tiger Den, and he vanished

The Tiger Den is the fourth chief's residence

After discussing with the Second Chief

We decided to follow him since there's a break in

...at Tiger Den

We saw fourth Chief sleeping, covering his own head

Then we lifted the duvet

And?

It was a dummy

He wasn't in his room

Then where is he?

Who knows?

I think he's up to something, placing the dummy there

Men

Yes

Seal off the entrance, search the back mountain

Yes

Go

Are you looking for me?

I saw with my own eyes, the dummy...

The dummy comes alive?

What are you doing here at this hour?

What do you want?

He... this...

It's so strange

What are you doing?

What are you looking for?

So? Have you found the dummy?

Dad, I think they staged the whole thing

Nonsense

Mei

Where did you hide the dummy? Take it out

What dummy?

I have no idea what you're talking about

What's going on here?

Stop playing dumb

Look at these cuts!

I stabbed these

If he was sleeping here

He would be dead

Then what were you doing here?

Patrolling

Patrolling in others' houses?

And you stabbed these?

What were you trying to do?

Never mind about that

The point is he wasn't sleeping here

He placed a dummy, so he was up to something

Third Chief, are you wrongly accusing me?

Xiao Youzi

Is this place infested with rats?

Yes... many

Well, look here. Do you think these are sword slashes

...or mere rat bites?

Rats, I'd say

Shut up

Rats' bites should have rugged edges

Take a look, dad

What do you think?

He must have changed it

Chief, they're setting this up

If you could find the dummy in here

You can kill or punish me anyway you like

But what if you can't find it?

Dad, we have rules

You're the Chief

How would you treat a person...

who tried to kill someone in the middle of the night?

Master, I think Pearl is in love with him

That's why she is helping him

Nonsense, I'm not on anyone's side

I just couldn't stand seeing injustice

Who's being unjust?

You... I meant you

Fine, I've told you before

We're all family here

Let's try to work this out peacefully

I'm not on anyone's side

But it was your fault

Go on and apologize to him

Guess I'm responsible

You...

A single bed can't really accommodate two

Well then, go back to bed, go on

Back to sleep

Damn it!

The dummy was there

There must be some secret hidden places in his room

He must have hid it somewhere

We knew about all the secret hidden places

But I haven't heard that there's one there

Maybe he's done something after he got here

He's up to something

And the Chief won't listen

Of course not, you've got no proof

Where are you going?

I'm going to take a look again

Maybe he'll do something

No, after that

He wouldn't dare

If you want to go, we can go tomorrow night

Come on, let's have a drink

And we'll think of another plan to deal with him

Fourth Chief

Fourth Chief

Fourth Chief

It's Xiaohua

This is from Miss Pearl

Do you think it's pretty?

Yes, very

Miss Pearl made this

Do you have any messages for her?

No, just thank her for me

Yes

Plotting against me so often; you aren't a decent man

You are seducing the Red Chilli

You're not a decent man either

Fine then, let's have a duel

So that you won't hurt me in the dark

Stop it

What are you two doing?

Don't you know the rules?

Sister, he seduces The Red Chilli, and wants me dead

Madam

That's enough, just leave

You too, why are you doing this?

I've never liked him since the day he got here

And Pearl is charmed by him

She doesn't know what she's doing

You should work on it

All you know is fighting

Look who's talking!

What kind of a matchmaker are you?

What's the rush? I've convinced the Chief

It's the brat who wouldn't listen

If she wouldn't marry me

Then I'll make sure their lives are messy

You can't do this by force

The best solution is to find a girl to marry Mei Daniu

So that Pearl will give up

I saw Xiaohua delivering a lamp to him earlier

Xiaohua is ready to marry someone

If she would marry Mei Danui

Then Pearl is mine

Great

What are you thinking?

Nothing

Don't lie to me, I could tell

You act different this time

Why?

Last year, you were just doing this for fun...

What about this year?

I dare not to say

Just say it

Tell me what's the difference?

This year, you're asking Buddha about...

when will your lucky star of love shine on you?

Nonsense

Look

He's here to look for Pearl

Why is he heading that way then?

I'll go take a look

Xiaohua, did you make Pearl mad again?

She said that I'm in love

She said that me and Mei Danui

Tell me what he looks like

In his 20s, tall, very good looking

How he looks doesn't have anything to do with me

Pearl...

In his 20s, tall built

What did you do that for?

I want to check it

Give it back, or I must use force

If there's no secrets here

Then why are you so worried?

Stop it, why are you fighting?

The Third Chief snatched my lantern

There's something secret about the lantern

Nonsense, there's nothing

Chief, if you don't believe me

I can show you the lantern

Is anything hidden inside?

Strange

It was right here, it's gone

Where's the lantern?

Gone

Third Chief, it's fine if you want a fight

Just don't make false accusations

Go

I was thinking last night about what happened

I'm not trying to help my own brother

But he did this for you

For me?

Or he wouldn't fight with Danui

He thinks that Danui is not loyal to you

Without proof, he can't be sure

Actually it's not for me, it's justjealousy

Assuming even if that be so...

We have to stop all this violence

Someone will get hurt sooner or later

A marriage must be consented by the bride and groom

I can't force Pearl to marry him

I've got an idea

What? Marry Xiaohua to Danui?

Let's get them married tomorrow

Yes?

Sister Pearl

Who's your sister?

Why are you acting like this?

What? You should know better

I didn't do anything

Don't feign innocence!

You know that I like him

And what have you done behind my back?

Nothing...

You two are getting married tomorrow!

Getting married? I have no idea

Stop lying, I must kill you

Mom! Pearl wants to kill me

You can't do this, Pearl

You don't know what the truth is

She's your daughter; it's natural you'd take her side

You all set this up, snatched my man

I won't let you get away with this

In the worst case scenario

We'll all die, no one will have him

Pearl, calm down... we have to talk

You shouldn't have listened to gossip

They're trying to drive a wedge between us

I heard with my own ears

She's getting married with Danui tomorrow

Who are you trying to kid?

Who said that? Tomorrow?

My stepmother

Your stepmother?

But I haven't heard about this

Pearl, calm down

You must find out what's going on first

Don't fall into a trap

If it's true

Then there must be a story behind this

I get it. Xuejiang is your stepmother's brother

Of course she'd help him

Xuejiang wants to marry you

Your stepmother has mentioned that many times

I know that you aren't interested

That's why I haven't said anything to you

So they are changing their plan

Trying to catch us offguard

When everything's settled

Then you must give up

Sister Pearl, although we're not related

But my mom is your wet nurse

I wouldn't do such things to you

Trust me

I know nothing about it

Don't fall into their trap

Fine, I'll kill myself

Let's see what can they do then...

Xiaohua

Xiaohua...

Sister Pearl

What a conspiracy!

Sister Pearl

Pearl, where are you going?

Getting even

Pearl...

You can't do this

We can't walk right into their trap

We must think this over

and we can turn their trick against them

Nanny

Nanny, the Chief summons you

He wants to talk to you

Yes

We've been waiting for a whole night

But we don't see any lamps with plum blossoms pattern

Do you see any?

No, I guess he's forgotten

How could he?

Look again

I have it here

Are you looking for this?

Give it back to me

Tell me who you really are

Then I'll return it to you

I'm Mei Fengchun

Rong Guan

How do you know my nickname?

I've known you since you were a child

Now is not the time to talk

Get out of here soon!

I'll try to send this map down the mountain

Just go

Go

Be careful, it's important

Contact the Mei Clan when you're out of the vicinity

Then report to the officers, got it?

Got it

Xiaohua

Here

Don't let Pearl find out

She doesn't know yet

I'll tell her about her background when I get a chance

Go

Ready?

No one's on guard, you better go

Sure

Mom, I'm off

Mom

Be careful

Go on

Could Brother Fengchun be in trouble?

It's hard to say

Where're you going?

Up the mountain

We can't go without the badges

Don't worry

I still remember the talk at the deserted temple

Let's try to get up on the mountain first

Don't be rash

If things go wrong

We could die

Tell them we're at the teahouse looking for Mei Daniu

We might have a change

But if Li Jiu comes back...

then it will be the end for us

I guess he won't be back so soon

If anything happens to Brother Fengchun...

I'll put up a good fight with them

Think it over

No second thoughts; I'll go alone if you're scared

Wait for me

Sister

Good timing

The Chief has agreed to it

What? Red Chilli knows?

Of course not

It will be too late then

Great, when Xiaohua is married to Mei Danui

...Pearl will be mine

Third Chief

There are two men inside

Third Chief

How high is the sky?

How deep is the ocean?

The ocean is 66 feet deep

The sky has 38...

The sky is 33 storeys high

Hand it over

What?

The badge

That...

We're here to look for Mei Danui

Mei Danui?

Are you related?

Yes, he's our cousin

Did he send you here?

You could say that

Since you're his cousins

I'll be frank with you

He was in an accident

What?

Calm down

Leave us

Yes

I'm Mei Danui's best friend

I wasn't happy at the mountain

Danui wasn't really trying to seek shelter

But he said some wrong things once

And is sent into prison

I was trying to save him

You came at the right time

Come with me, we can save him

Alright, I'll go with you

Oh no...

What's the fuss?

Xiaohua's missing

Xiaohua's missing?

After we spoke yesterday

I told her right away

She didn't give me an answer

And now she's missing

What shall we do now?

Don't worry, she can't leave without the badge

I'm sure I can find her

She'll make it to the wedding

Congratulations...

Congratulations...

Why isn't she ready yet?

What's the rush?

It's normal for the bride to take her time

Slow work yields fine products

Nonsense

Where's Pearl?

Here comes the bride

What took you so long? It's time

Come on... hurry

Lady, I don't think this is Xiaohua

Come on, it's time

Congratulations...

Congratulations...

Chief, look. Xiaohua is pretty

She's grown taller

Taller? That's good

Look, nanny. The veil isn't fixed properly

That's unlucky

Red Chilli

Pearl

It's you?

Yes, it's me. Xiaohua's missing

We couldn't postpone the wedding

Nonsense

Xiaohua's missing, but you can't step into her place

Who's Xiaohua to you?

And who am I to you?

You're my daughter

In that case

What about my wedding?

Both the bride and groom have to consent for marriage

I haven't found you a proper suitor yet

I don't care; I'm in bridal wear at the marriage hall

I can only marry once

Or you want me to marry again?

You don't make sense at all

Don't be silly, Pearl

It's not that your dad doesn't care about you

After Xiaohua's wedding

You'll be next

And you will marry me to whom?

To whom?

Your brother Xuejiang?

Keep dreaming

He's your brother

And you're my dad's wife

What kind of family would that make us?

No one can stop her from marrying Mei Danui

But why did you have to let Xiaohua go?

What were you thinking?

None of your business

Now that Xiaohua's gone, no one can speak for her

I'm getting married no matter what

Master, there's an old saying

You don't break up a marriage

Just let them get married

Mei Danui, congratulations

I don't have anything special

...except this

Brother

Who are they?

Members of Mei Clan

They were at the teahouse

...looking for Mei Danui

They didn't know the code nor have the badges

They must be Mei Danui's informers

You made this up, Chief

The Mei Clan knows that I've given you the map

That's why they hate me

And they've sent people to look for me

Now the Third Chief

...is mistaken

Chief, this is unfair

Dad, I know them

When I was in Mei village

I've seen them before

How could the Third Chief...

say that they work for Mei Danui?

Do you know him?

Yes, of course

He's a black sheep of our clan

And what are you two doing here?

To get even

Great, he's here

Go for it

You are inhuman

I must kill you

When I was in Mei village

I've had enough of your mistreatments

I hated you all

I want revenge

I want to kill you all

You two walked right in here

I'll kill you two first

It's my wedding day

You knocked off the candles

That's unlucky

We can talk tomorrow

Men

Yes

Catch them all

Yes

What's going on?

So?

You want me to be an old maid?

C'mon, play some music

Great! You're not called The Red Chilli for nothing

Now that it has come to this...

Continue the ceremony...

Chief

Bring it here

Bride and groom

Bow to heaven and earth, bow to the chief

Bow to each other, to the bridal chamber

Wait

Dad

Move over

What's your name?

Mei Danui

Mei Danui?

Li Jiu

Chief

Is he Mei Danui?

No, he isn't

You've got guts!

Tie him up

Yes

Dad

Now that you know, I'll be frank

My name is Mei Fengchun

As for the reason I'm here

I guess you should know

But I've disappointed Pearl

Whether you can keep me here now

...depends on how able you are

You'll die today

Catch him alive, I want to interrogate him

Yes

Pearl, go on

Look what you've done to me

You must die if you want to leave

Pearl

I'll try to explain to you

You'll understand some day

I don't want to listen

Pearl, you've always been nice to me

I'll be happy to die at your hands

Don't listen to him

Put him in the cell

I'll torture him slowly

Go

Pearl, I don't owe you anything now

Go

Cry it out! You'll feel better

After you've calmed down

I'll tell you something

I knew early on that Mei Danui is really Mei Fengchun

Why didn't you tell me?

I couldn't

Why not?

I was afraid of foiling his plan

What do you mean?

The reason Mei Fengchun came here is...

because he wants to know the terrains and paths here

I hate him

He doesn't love me, he was using me

I think he loves you

But he couldn't reveal his identity

He's got his own reasons

If I knew earlier...

I would have killed him on the first day

If you know what he's up to

...you'll forgive him

For many years

The Mei Clan has been living in despair

Many were killed

Others are homeless

In order to save his clan

It's very admirable

Why are you helping him?

I'm also a member of the Mei Clan

Then you're a spy?

Not only me

You're also from Mei Clan

Me?

Eighteen years...

I must tell you this secret now

Han Longfeng isn't your dad

He's your enemy

What?

He killed all your family

Help

You've mistaken the enemy as your father for 18 years

I've never had the chance to tell you

Now that you know

It's up to you whether you want to listen or not

What are you doing, Pearl?

I want to have revenge

Wait

Don't be rash

I must take revenge for my parents

Pearl, impatience will spoil greatest of plans

Be careful not to ruin this

Then what should I do?

Xiaohua is gone

She'll contact the soldiers...

Go to the cell first

Try to set Mei Fengchun and the others free

When the time is right...

We can work together from outside and inside

You're fatter than me

Come on, drink up

Pour some more wine...

There's a spy

Pearl

Lower your voice

There's a path over this hill

You should be safe

Xiaohua has left the mountain

She's probably contacted the soldiers

Go

Thank you for saving us

How do we contact each other?

Meet up with the soldiers first

I'll send a smoke signal

Then it's settled

Please

Young Chief

Spy

You can't watch out for an inside thief

So you're the real spy

But for the sake of our history together

I could keep a secret

But I've a few conditions

What do you think?

If only you would marry me

Then I'll keep my mouth shut, otherwise...

Keep dreaming, you've done all sorts of bad deeds

This is your doom day

Report to the Chief, the Young Chief is a spy

Yes

The smoke

Go

Go

Go

Come on

Who is it?

It's me

Pearl

What's wrong with you?

I want you dead

Are you crazy? I'm your dad

My dad?

You killed my dad 18 years ago

And I've treated the enemy as my father

I must get even with you

Pearl, you shouldn't listen to rumours

The best way to hide a misdeed is not to commit it

Today is your doom day

Listen

But I've raised you for 18 years

Yet you're responsible for my parents' death

C'mon men, grab her

Men

Catch this ungrateful girl

Yes

Catch her

Charge

Men

I regret that I didn't kill you too

Go

Yes

Chief, we have a situation

Defense has been broken from rear; 3rd Chief is killed

Where's the lady?

She has been captured

Surrender now, Han Longfeng

Although he owes us too much...

but we shouldn't kill him here

He'll be punished by the judges

Thank you, heroes

Men

Yes

Transfer him to the prison

Yes

Go

Go

Don't be sad, let's go

But where can I go to?

I'm homeless now

No, you belong to the Mei Clan

Of course you'll return there

Return?

What's the point?

I have no family now

You have me, Pearl

We were formally married

Remember?
