Jin yi wei (1984) - full transcript

The late Ming Dynasty is the time period when the influence and power of the court Eunuchs are at their peak. One in particular is Wang Zhen (Lau Wing), a vicious martial arts master who has distracted the weak-minded young Emperor with an endless supply of concubines to sate his passions, while plotting to seize power for himself. Loyal to the Emperor is Zhao Wiyi (Guk Fung), captain of an elite force of swordsmen known as the Brocade Guards (AKA the Imperial Court's "Secret Service"). Their task is to squelch rebellion, hunt down traitors, and uphold justice. No one believes in this more firmly than Wiyi's son and the Guard's first sergeant Zhao Bufu (Leung Kar-yan). After the disinterested Emperor appoints Wang Zhen as his chief administrator in charge of all affairs, Wang orders the Brocade to hunt down three heroic loyalists who oppose the Eunuch. Reluctantly, Wiyi orders his son to carry out this order, but Bufu ultimately rebels. Wiyi is forced to order the death of his own son and Bufu must confront the entire Brocade Guard as he makes his escape with his wife and child. Wang Zhen's influence is far-reaching and leads to calamity for Bufu's family and clan. Stripped of nearly everything he holds dear, Bufu vows to kill Wang Zhen or die trying

The Brocade Guard was the private court...

and spy system of
the Ming Dynasty emperors

specializing in arresting rebels,

and major outlaws

This guard was under
emperor`s direct control

During the regime of Emperor Ying Zhong,

because of his own incompetence,

the eunuch Wang Zhen wielded the power

and used the Brocade guard
to kill his opposition

and also against the righteous people

The guard`s missions were confidential



The members were strictly chosen

and given inhuman training

Sir

Arise

Fall in

Listen

These are the ruthless bandits

insane rapists

and rebels

All of them
deserve the harshest punishment

Go and kill them

for the sake of justice

No!

Zhao Buqun, let it start from you



No...No!

Zhao, you spare him

It shows that you`re not fierce enough

and not qualified for the Brocade Guard

Dealing with them, you can`t be kind

Kill now

Zhao, this is an order. No hesitation

Kill

Okay

Everyone kills now

The fire is burning and there`s bloodshed

Cudgel penalty

Whip penalty

Burn penalty

Cut penalty

Given these most cruelest penalties

weren`t the convicts

but the new members of the guard

Whoever couldn`t bear it would be fired

This brutal training

was to train the Brocade Guard

to be as a fearless,

ruthless

and merciless team

Zhao Buqun

Yes

Your dad broke the law.
Will you kill him?

Answer now

I won`t spare you even when l`m dead

Answer my question now

T oo cruel...

Zhao Buqun

Answer me now

Will you kill him?

No

Push him out and execute him

Yes

Wait

Sir, a request to give him a chance

Shut up

The rule here is, ` no mercy `

He`s not qualified as the guard

I couldn`t spare him...

because he`s my son

If you made mistake in the future,

I`ll kill you too

Push him out and execute him

Yes

When all the penalties were over

a red, burning metal

would be put on every passed trainee

The words Brocade Guard would stay forever

From this time
they embark on their murder task

Sir

Excellent

You`re the chosen elite

from thousands of people

You`re going to carry on...

the holy mission of justice

for the country and people

Yes

I just have a secret imperial order

The border guards Shi Hen, Li Zhuomin

had conspiracy with foreigners,

betraying our country and were fleeing now

What should we do with them?

Kill

Good

Guard leader Zhao Bufa

Yes

You lead a team to arrest the betrayers

I want them dead or alive

Yes

The Brocade Guard?

Shi Hen, you`ve conspired with foreigners

Kneel down and be arrested

Come on. Seize me if you can

Hack that guy`s head off for me

Yes

Captain

Zhao Bufa

The West gate is in danger.
Please give orders

Okay. Go now

Captain

Got him?

I heard he had killed himself

His funeral is being held now

Where?

Over the street

Stay

Sir, my dad had killed himself

Please show mercy

and let us bury him

Open the coffin and inspect the body

Open them

Captain, it`s jewel

Do it

No one can leave

Kill

All step aside

Yes

Sir, please be merciful

Don`t kill my dad. Please...

Lead all of them away

Yes

No matter how hard one tries

you can`t get rid of the blood debt

I just don`t wish my son

to see the bloodspots on me

But you just let someone`s children

see blood all over their father

Well, this is their misfortune

Their father was an indecent man

If I didn`t kill him,

there`d be more children

seeing their fathers killed

As what you said,

you ruined and separated a family

It`s to uphold justice for the heaven

My blade kills only the miscreants

You`re sure

you didn`t kill a good man!

I didn`t

Wang Zhen is a jerk

using women to baffle the emperor

Hasn`t attended a council meeting
for 2 months

The country is going to fall

Li, Wang`s guys are all over the council

Be careful. Your words will be heard

Wang, we`re the gov`t officers

I can`t help seeing him corrupted by women

Right...

Incompetent, irresponsible!

How can he be the emperor?

It`s all because of Wang Zhen

Guarding the border we were invincible

But this eunuch is just ruining the gov`t

It makes me very angry

Eunuch Wang is here

How dare you!

Kneel when you see eunuch Wang

Chao Jiexiang, stop acting ignorant here

We`re the border captains

Why should we kneel down?

Yu Hualong

The army is in your control

But l`ll make you regret it someday

Wang Zhen

I`ll also let you know that...

By fooling the emperor,

you can`t do whatever you want

Great. If there`re some righteous people

Iike Yu in the gov`t,

the country will be in peace

Old fool,
l`ll kill you if you don`t shut up

Stabilizing the state
is the work of a loyal officer

Kill me? You can`t scare me

You ain`t afraid to die;
how about your family?

No

Jiexiang

Yes

Arrest Li`s entire family

and his students

Slit them all from their mouth to ear

Yes

Whoever offers more money

will take Li`s position

Emperor

Emperor

Eunuch Wang

Did you have a good time?

Yes

Is there anything new?

I`ve just prepared two new items for you

Emperor

True beauty

You know what I like

You`re really loyal to me

Thank you

As long as you like them

please enjoy to your heart`s content

All of you may leave

Yes

Emperor

When I came in

the officers outside the door are talking

about your absence in the meeting

Affairs of State is a headache to me

There`s a lot of fun here

You`re right

An emperor should exercise his own power

If the officers
could interfere his privacy...

would he have any dignity?

Right. You understand me

Give me an idea

You don`t like handling state business

Why don`t you have someone to do it?

It`ll be okay

Good idea. Then you`re the one

Getting to work for emperor,
l`ll do my utmost

But if you don`t deliver
an imperial decree

no one would listen to me

Well, l`ll deliver a decree tomorrow to...

grant you the title, ` 9 Thousand Years`

and handle the affairs on my behalf

Thank you

Let`s go back to the palace

Thanks for your hard work

I will do my best

Jiexiang

Lord, what can I do for you?

Deliver a decree for me, stating to remove

the army control of Yu, Xue and Gao

Yes

-Morning...
-Morning

Sir, why are you so early?

Good morning. Uncle Chen

Thank you

Uncle Chen

Are you alright?

Nothing. Just a sprain in the back

Be careful. Sit down please

Thank you

I`ll take the things back

Mr. Zhao, please don`t

You`ll make you hands dirty

It doesn`t matter

I can wash my hands

What a good man!

Thank you

Where`re you going? I`ll carry for you

No, thanks. I`ll do it myself

Then take care of yourself

-Goodbye
-Thanks

Let`s eat

Dingdong, take a guess!

Dad

You sure are smart!

Come on out

Dingdong, kiss your dad

Good boy

Where`s mom?

Up there

Bufa, you`re back

Yes

Give my son back

I want to play with little rabbit

Why so nervous?

Look. His face is dirty

Uncle Chen fell at the doorway

I helped to collect the coal

You don`t like me minding other`s business

I admire this attitude

or I won`t marry you

Look, it can`t be wiped away

You do it yourself

Yes, my dearest wife

Good boy. I clean for you

Really good

Dad, why`re you always carrying the blade?

T o slay people

No, to do away with bad guys

I told you not to talk about killing

in front of the kid, but you don`t listen

I don`t wish my son would do the same

when he grows up

I`m sorry

Wang Zhen is going too far

When I met him at Huanglin Gate

he begged Shi and I for money

to help him to serve the prince

Go on

He promised he`d share the returns with us

When the prince succeeded the throne

he got scared that
we`d share his dirty money

and uncover his dirt ;

Therefore he delivered
a false decree to ruin us

I take direct orders from the emperor

It it`s true, l`ve nothing to fear

Captain Zhao, don`t take it too easy

Wang has been controlling the emperor

He almost killed all righteous officers

I think the empire will become his

You`re just the captain of Brocade Guards

You could do nothing about him

Captain, Eunuch Wang wants to see you

Eunuch Wang

Zhao Wuji welcomes Eunuch Wang

Captain Zhao

Yes

I knew you had killed betrayer Shi Hen

and arrested Li Zhouwen alive, right?

Yes, I had

Did you put him to trial?

I did

What did he say?

He...

Zhao Wuji

Yes

Answer the question

He said...

Said what?

He said you were equally involved
in the deed

but disputed over the sharing of reward

delivered false decree and set them up

Do you believe it?

I didn`t rush to a conclusion

Good

You know what should be done. C`mon, rise

Thank you

Betrayers like Li

just killed them for good

But I need the Emperor`s decree

to sentence him to death

I dare to do it without the decree

The decree is here

Listen, Zhao

Long live the Emperor!

Eunuch Wang has been conferred upon
with the title

of 9 thousands Years
for assisting the Emperor

All the affairs of State

will be handled by him

May the emperor live forever

Captain Zhao, you may kill Li then

The names on this list...

are all against the emperor. Kill them

Xue Xuan, Gao Xiang, Yu Hualong?

Nine Thousands Years...

they`re the righteous officers

what wrong did they do?

They quietly wrote reports

to the emperor impeaching me

They just wanted to create chaos

Should they be killed?

Yes

Captain Chao

How many people are there in your clan?

About 900

Well, quite a big clan, huh!

Zhao, keep on your good work

You`ll be rewarded someday

If you do anything wrong,

900 people will be ruined because of you

Zhao, finish this job for me

The jewels in Li`s coffin will be yours

No, it`s all right

I`m just doing my work

By no means I can accept it

It`s up to you

Jiexiang

Yes

It`s yours now

Thank you. Sir

Zhao Bufa

Kneel down to Nine Thousands Years

Captain, we take orders from the emperor

Why should we kneel down?

Shut up. This is an order. Down

Who`s he?

He`s my son, Zhao Bufa

He`s a sergeant of the guard

He arrested Shi and Li

Captain

Shut up

This is the emperor`s order. Do it

Yes

Xue Xuan, no way to run

Come on

Yu, you`ve nowhere to escape. Come out

Meng Jiang Hong

Didn`t think you had a keen sense of smell

Show your skills if you want to kill me

Good skills. Take the head

What? Why don`t you do it?

If people remembered me like Yue Fa

I`ll die without regret. Come on

Yu Hualong

I kill whoever deserves to die

But you don`t

What the hell did you do?

The Emperor wishes to have you dead

How was Song Gao Zhong cheated by Qin Hui?

T o order Yue Fa`s return to the capital

and kill him without reason

Haven`t you heard of it?

Of course I know

What are you waiting for?

I want the truth

Yu, for the time being l`ll take your word

If I find that you lie to me

I`ll kill you right away

Captain

I`ve killed the betrayer Yu Hualong

Well done

Captain, you seem bothered

I`m fine

Whenever I complete my assignment

you`ll appreciate it with joy

But this time you look like troubled

I`m just feeling sad

Yu Qian was a good general

protecting the Ming border

But his son just ended up like this

Captain, as what you said,

I shouldn`t have killed him

Nonsense!

I didn`t mean it

You`ve many questions this time

Captain, one more

All four of you may leave

Yes

You too

Yes

What do you want to ask?

Captain

Who could have wanted Yu dead?

Why are you asking this?

It was the Emperor`s idea

The emperor`s?

I don`t think so. His dad was a patriot

He`s a son of a hero

The emperor has no reason to kill him

It must be Wang`s conspiracy

Shut up

You know, for these few words,

you could be sentenced to death

Being a Brocade Guard,

one prepares to die for justice

Dad, this is...

Zhao Bufa, this is strictly business

I`m your superior in work

not your dad

Sergeant, the 3 major rules of the guard

First of all,

obey your superior`s order;

secondly,

complete your mission without questioning

thirdly,

being merciless

Good. You`d better remember them

Don`t make a mistake or l`ll kill you too

Captain, I warn you too

I maintain a certain image of you;
don`t tarnish it

or l`ll have my own idea

You may leave

Captain

The reason l`ve asked three of you here...

is because l`ve an important mission

Please order

The decree ordered to kill 3 betrayers

Xue and Yu were executed

You`re going to handle Gao Xiang

Captain, can I say something?

Important missions
are always done by sergeant

Why us this time?

No questions. Go

Yes

All people in the house are dead

No one is alive.

Yes, all dead!

Strange. Who did it?

Let`s forget it. Find Gao Xian

Come on

No need. I`ve killed him

His head is here

Sergeant

The Captain assigned this job for 3 of us

Why are you here?

Makes no difference who kills the betrayer

Take the head and close the file

Go on

Nine Thousand Years,
Zhao Wuji wants to see you

Sir, I finished the work as you ordered

Yu Hualong, Xue Xiang and Gao Xian

were all killed

Good

Zhao, your efficiency is as good as...

these beauticians

I`m satisfied with your work

Thank you

Stop

Yu Hualong, Gao Xian?

What the hell!

Wang Zhen

You goddamn eunuch,
come down and get killed

Kill him

Kill

Zhao Wuji

I apologize for my ignorance

I`m really sorry

No matter how daring you are

You don`t have the guts to cheat me

This matter,
someone`s discreetly opposing me

Zhao Wuji

Yes

Who handled...

the cases of Yu and Gao?

Sergeant of the guard

It`s him

He`s your son

If he`s against me,

what will you do?

Nine Thousand Years

Though he`s my son

if this is true, l`ll be merciless

Good

I spare you this time

Give me a good answer

or your Zhao`s clan will be in danger

Thank you

Sir, you asked for me

What`s the matter?

Zhao Bufa

Yes

The decree ordered us

to kill officer Wang Yun

You will handle this case

Yes, sir

Captain, l`ll handle this alone

Why?

Wang is just a common officer

I alone would suffice

He`d be alerted if many people appear

Okay

You carry it out alone then

Right

Hurry

Mr. Zhao, you let us go

How can you explain to your dad?

Lord Wang, don`t say anymore. Leave now

Yes. Thank you

Go quickly

Lord Wang

Get me the traitor

Yes

Captain, Zhao Bufa was gone

Zhao Bufa, come out now

You disobeyed the order

betrayed the Brocade Guard

We`ll chase after you forever

You`ve nowhere to run

As what you said,

you ruined and separated a family ;

Was it to uphold the justice of heaven?

My blade kills bad guys only

Are you sure that...

you`ve not killed a good man?

I killed bad guys only

No

I have been used

They`re too mean

Bufa, what will you do?

It depends on what my dad will do

Bufa, are you alright?

Lian-lian

Lian-lian

Bufa

Lian-lian

You take care

Lian-lian

Wang Biao

The sergeant of Brocade Guard...

disobeyed the decree
and freed the convicts

You`re ordered to kill him

Bufa

Brother Chang and Lin

Where`s Bufa?

Is sergeant here?

What`s the matter?

True, there`s something urgent

Li Yi, you want to kill me

Why are you hiding?

Sergeant, l`m sorry

I just take the order

If you think it`s right, do it

Sergeant

Brothers, let`s try the tea

-Thanks
-Thanks

Uncle, let`s try the tea

Dingdong is a good boy

This is for you

Say thank you to uncle

Thank you

Please come again

Dingdong likes you very much

We come here this time...

What?

We come to invite the sergeant for a drink

Yeah, for a drink

I see

For men, having a drink is nothing special

No need to hide it from me

He`s back

Bufa, they`ve been waiting for you

Sergeant, please come with us

Where to?

You`ve been invited for a drink

Yes

Please. Let`s go

Xueliang, take good care of Dingdong

I`ll be right back

I know

Let`s go

Goodbye

See you

I really appreciate that

you hid the truth from my wife

If you want to do your job, go ahead

Sergeant, do we have a chance?

No chance

Either go with me or my dad

Sergeant...

No use to run

Captain Zhao and Wang Zhen won`t spare you

Then make my day!

You all know

what we did was wrong

I won`t give this up

My blade is a righteous weapon

I kill whoever did wrong

My dad is no exception

We know what we should do

We couldn`t finish our work

nor go against the captain

This is the only way out

Yes

Do it

Bear the pain

Li Jin

Wait for me

Chang Qiang

Zhang, I got you involved. I`m sorry

Bufa

Dad, please ask uncle to buy me
some more candy

I`ve finished the candy

Why aren`t uncles scared of the burn?

Captain

The guards Chang, Li, Wang and Lin

failed to kill Zhao and were killed by him

Zhao Wuji

Yes

You must be happy that your son ran away

Nine Thousands Years

I`ll be happy if he`s dead

Really?

Yes

Then send more guards to kill him

Yes

Wait

Zhao Bufa has very good skills

He trained the guards too

T o accomplish the work

I`ll handle it myself

Good

Go away

Yes

Listen, guards

Yes

Zhao Bufa, there`s no escape

Chao Jixiang

Kill him

Run

You`re all trained by me

Don`t force me to kill you

Zhao is a wanted criminal

Whoever shows mercy

is against the decree and will be killed

Bufa, what should we do?

Fight!

Run

Though I wear the brocade

I feel pain inside

Fame and fortune are tempting

Why be trapped by them?

I make a vow with blood

to sacrifice my life

The endless failure

The disappearance of justice

Hatred grows in my heart

Friends no longer walk with me

turning their backs to me

Once they used to be my best friends

Now they all change

Goodbye the salvation

I can`t help feeling miserable

I walk the dangerous road alone

I can`t help feeling pity for the dejected

Friends no longer walk with me

turning their backs on me

Once they used to be my best friends

Now they all change

Goodbye the salvation

Feeling unavoidably distressed

I walk the dangerous road alone

I can`t help feeling sad
about the miserable

Bufa, Chao is right behind us again

Hurry up

Zhao, you`ve nowhere to run

You`ll die here today

Dad

Dingdong

Dad

Xueliang

Dad, the bad guy is there

Be careful

I want to go home and feed the rabbit

Dingdong, the bad guy won`t let us leave

Dad, kill all of them

I`ll take you to see uncle tomorrow

There`s no bad guy

We`ve no need to run again.

Get it?

I got it

Zhao Wuji

Yes

Come over here

Yes

Raise your head

I`m telling you

If you don`t hand me your son,

I`ll cook your families as food for you

Don`t worry

It`ll soon be
his deceased mother`s birthday

He will come back for the ceremony

I`ll ask the Zhao`s clan to waste him off

Coming

This is Zhao Wuiji`s brother

He`s clever and has good fighting skills

But he isn`t after fame and fortune

Prefers staying home
to help the elders and kids

Hadn`t he been doing this...

he`d have better prospects than
his brother

Bufa, you`re a good son

On time every year to pay homage
to your mother

Uncle, after the obeisance this time...

I`ll stay here for a few days

Great

When you leave,

take me to the capital and show me around

Yes, I too aspire to be a Brocade Guard

I mean, it`s great
with the uniform and blade

Am I right?

Yes, very true

Brother, we all envy you

Yes. Brother, teach me the fighting skills

Right

The capital isn`t as good as you think

The home town is much warmer

and safer

Bufa, this time you`re back

why are you always so sad?

Where`s all your zeal?

You`re the best man of Zhao`s clan

You`ll be the one succeeding the heritage

Right

You`re the model when I give them lessons

Yes. You`re our role model

See where you can go.

Dad, a secret letter from the capital

Dad, what`s the matter?

What`s in the letter?

Don`t ask

Ask everyone to gather
at the ancestral temple

Ancestral temple?

Hurry up

Yes

Don`t let Dingdong know of this

Let`s take the decision unanimously

If you don`t tell me your decision

I`ll let him go

Dad, you must let him go

Brother

You all... say something

Why aren`t you saying anything?

I know what you`re thinking

Speak up. Why`re you quiet?

You don`t speak

I`ll do it

Dad, everyone knows that

if we let Bufa go,
our clan will be executed

We`ve to sacrifice him for the whole clan

Xiao Nan, why are you still standing here?

Get the blade

Go now

Listen up

For the sake of the whole clan

before tomorrow afternoon,

we must kill Bufa

Brother Bufa...

Sister-in-law

Good morning, Xiao Nan

Where`s brother?

Early in the morning

The clan brothers ask him
to practice skills

Practice skills?

Brother, please

You did a good job

I feel very happy

If you want to find out how good

your skills are,

you must consider me as your enemy

No mercy

Brother, please

Come on

Good

Zhao Yuanzhong, Zhao Yuanxiang

A bit of competition with elder bro

Remember, you must take it for real

Yes

Useless

You aren`t considering it for real

Come again

Didn`t you hear... No mercy!

Come on

Stop

Put down your blade

Master, he...

Dad, if we don`t kill him,

we...

Shut up

Uncle, why`re they after my life?

Bufa, come along.
I want to show you a letter

Uncle, do you have to do this?

I`ve no other choice

Uncle

Bufa

Uncle

Bufa

Dad

Stop fighting... Break it off

Hold it!

Dad, don`t!

Brother

Bufa, give me your head

No

Go away

Dad

Give it to me

Dad, don`t kill him...

Give it to me

Dad...

Uncle...

Why, uncle?

Why did you do this, uncle?

Forgive me. I`ve to kill you

or our clan will be executed

Xiao Nan, remember

You must kill him

Dad...

Zhao Wuji`s death

aroused the emotion of Zhao clan

The people became very angry

They just wanted to chop Bufa`s head off

Brother, sister-in-law...

Don`t be too sad

I won`t blame you on this

What`s about the clan?

People are scared of death

The life of the clan folk

depends on you

So they must kill you

But I respect your work for the country

your righteous character

For time being, l`ve convinced them

Brother, you`d better leave here now

Leave now

Xiao Nan, thank you

Brother, this is a farewell drink

Why don`t you drink it?

Bufa, drink it

or Xiao Nan will feel bad

You...

Bufa, how are you?

Brother, don`t blame me

The life of clansfolk depends on me

I got to do this

Xiao Nan, don`t be like this

We rush in...

We shouldn`t go in now

Bufa, how are you?

Bufa, wake up

Bufa, how are you? Bufa...

Dad, wake up. We`re going home

Get up, dad!

Sister-in-law

Who is it?

Xiao Nan...

Go inside

Xiao Nan...

Got it?

T omorrow is his mother`s birthday

He`ll go to the graveyard

We must take action there

Okay

Don`t worry

He`s taken the cure

He`ll be fine soon

Thanks, uncle

I know he`ll come back here

for obeisance to his mom every year

So l`m here to see him

I never expected this!

Right. Why are you here?

Weren`t you killed by your dad?

It`s a trick of my dad

He set it up and

killed me in front of the trainees

in order to make the trainees

devoted to him

Quietly he freed me

But I couldn`t show up anymore

You saved Bufa this time

If your dad knows it,

you`re sure to get involved

Don`t worry for me

T omorrow is mother`s birthday

I know they will take this chance

to kill him

Don`t go there

Leave before dawn

Leave?

Even if we manage to run away,

what about the life of the clan people?

No way. Bufa and I can`t be selfish

I know how to deal with this

You`re really deciding on this?

I should have been dead

I live on, but couldn`t see people

I feel like l`m useless

If I can save the clan people...

my death is still worth something

This is the only way out

or all the Zhao`s people

will be killed by Wang Zhen

or the Zhao`s people will kill each other

Mother

Why is uncle wearing dad`s clothes?

Mind your own business

The sun is about to rise

Let`s go to worship mom

Mom, this could be the last time

Zhao Bufa, you`ve nowhere to go.
Come down

Sister-in-law, take care

Brother-in-law. Thank you

I, Zhao Bufa, am here

Come and get me

Chop off Zhao Bufa`s head

Chop off Zhao Bufa`s head

I chopped his head off...

I chopped his head off...

I chopped his head...

Let`s go to get the reward

Brother, you sacrificed for Bufa

Your kind act

I`ll pay back with my own life

Dingdong, Xueliang

Mom, get up. I`m hungry

Mom, get up. Come on

Mom, come on

Xueliang...

Dad, why doesn`t mom get up?

Bufa, because of this,

your brother has sacrificed...

his head for you

This matter is over now

For his kind act,

I can only pay it back with my death

I hope you may hide yourself from now on

and bring Dingdong up

Don`t think about it anymore

Remember, don`t look into it anymore

No way

Mom, please forgive me

No matter what happens

I won`t give it up

T o kill Wang Zhen is...

the only way to keep the Zhao`s clan

and the Ming Dynasty going on

Uncle, we`ve killed Bufa

His head is here

Open it

He...

How come it`s him?

How come...?

Why, why him?

Does he have anything to do with it?

Why are you so ignorant?

We thought he`s dead

We never imagined he`d die for Bufa

Uncle, my dad and Xiao Nan
were sacrificed...

because of this head!

My son

I brought him to life
and I put him in danger

Uncle, I wrongly killed Buqun

Do we still need to kill Bufa?

Right. If we don`t kill him,

we`ll still be executed.

Shut up

Do you think that...

I really wish to kill my son?

If my death
could be used to avoid this matter

and to save the life of the clan,

I`d long back have sacrificed my life

Uncle, what should we do?

Wang Zheng has met Bufa just once

I believe I may be able to cheat him

I`ll take Buqun`s head
to terminate the case

Eunuch Wang, the officers at the hall

have been kneeling the entire morning

What`s the matter?

T oday I heard

some rumors and gossip about the emperor

They all denied

I punished them to kneel down

They deserved it

Your majesty, the captain of Brocade Guard

desires an audience
with `9 thousand years`

-Order
-Order

Order Zhao Wuji

Your majesty

Nine Thousand Years

Zhao Wuji

Yes

Did you finish my assignment?

Yes, I did

The head is here

Zhao, what`s inside the box?

Present it to the emperor

Yes

Good. Well-done

Wang, whose head is it?

Zhao Wuji

Yes

Tell the emperor whose head it is

Yes

He`s my son

Zhao Bufa

He...he`s your son?

Who killed him?

I gave the order to have him killed

What? You...

Zhao Wuji

How could you kill your son?

He disobeyed the decree

freed convicts and betrayed Brocade Guard

So...I killed him

Really?

Yes

I see. He deserved it

Your majesty, loyal and merciless people

Iike Zhao, who`re devoted to the country

have become fewer and fewer

Right. Zhao, you did a good job

You`re rewarded with 1 0,000 taels of gold

Thank you, your majesty

Zhao, the emperor is rewarding you

Why are you crying?

I just feel flattered

I`m just too happy

I can`t even hunt a wild chicken

Your majesty,
it`s time to return to the palace

No way. Keep on hunting

Who is it?

It`s the assassin

Guards!

Your majesty

Arise

Thank you

Nine Thousands Years

What`s the matter?

Someone`s here to deliver a letter

He says it must be sent to you

Wang, save me

Untie me, Wang. Hurry up

Let him go

Yes

You travelled a long way
to save the emperor

Thank you

You...still call yourself an emperor

Kneel down

You should address me the emperor now

Come on!

Your majesty

With you alive,

I couldn`t be the emperor happily

You kill me...

with the treasured sword I bestowed on you

Stop

Zhao Bufa, it`s my fault

If you can save me,
l`ll forgive your guilt

and promote your position

Your foolish bastard

Wang, you conspired
and harmed the righteous

Now you try to overthrow the emperor

T oday l`ll settle it all with you

Please don`t blame me for all this

If there`s no Song Gao Zhong,

could Qin Hui kill Yue Fei?

If this silly emperor
and those corrupted officers

didn`t exist,

Could I do it all by myself?

Be a good child.
Dad will kill the scoundrels

I understand

Be careful. Kill the bad guys

Bad guys, don`t hit my dad

My dad will kill you

Dad, are you alright?

I`m fine

Dad, this rascal is dead

Can we go home now?

Dingdong!

Captain

Get up

Thanks, captain

Excellent

You`re the chosen elites

from amongst the thousands

You`re going to uphold and execute

the holy mission of justice

for the country and people

Bufa, the matter is over

Why are you here?

Dad, I want to tell you

I`ve killed Wang Zhen

Don`t let him go

Stop

Let him go

Though I wear the brocade

I feel pain inside

Fame and fortune are tempting

Why be trapped by them!

I make a vow with blood

to sacrifice my life

The endless failure

The disappearance of justice

Hatred grows in my heart

Friends no longer walk with me

turning their backs to me

Once they used to be my best friends

Now they all change

Goodbye the salvation

I can`t help feeling miserable

Treading alone the dangerous path

I can`t help feeling sad
about the dejected

Friends no longer walk with me

turning their backs to me

They used to be my best friends

Now they all change

Goodbye the salvation

I can`t help feeling miserable

Treading alone the dangerous road

I feel grieved for
what people have to endure!
