THE MOON WARRIORS

Don't drink the water! It might be poisoned.

Here. You can drink mine.

Your Majesty.

Everyone in this town was slaughtered, just like the last one.

They want to annihilate us so much, they wouldn't even let us rest.

Let's go!

Let's go!

HEY!

I knew you were down there! Come out. Come out!

Your Majesty!

Stop!

Get the hell out!

None of them shall live!

Hey! Was that necessary?

Assassins sent by the Fourteenth Prince!

Are you all right, Your Majesty?

- I'm fine. - You've lost a lot of blood!

Your Majesty, look!

Are you all right?

Thank you for your help.

You're welcome. By the way, who were those people?

We have no idea. Why don't you go and ask them yourself?

Thanks for your advice.

You're badly hurt. Why don't you come to my place?

I'll help you cover the wound.

I live just down the hill in the fishing village.

Thanks, but we have to get going.

That way? But that's a dead end!

I say you should get some rest and food at my place.

Don't you want to know who we are? Do you always invite strangers?

You probably won't tell me the truth and I don't want to hear any lies.

Your Majesty. Since you're injured, I think you should recover at his place.

We'll be very careful.

HEY! THE SHARK SOUP IS READY!

Stop playing around, you two. Have some soup.

Please watch the stove for me, Aunt Chuen.

- Sure, sure. - Thanks!

Uncle Fook! Little Ha! Come over here!

Well, Fei? Is the soup ready?

Uncle Fook, this part is for you. I forgot to give you this last time.

Thanks! Smells good!

You two have to learn how to fish, okay?

- Where's the soup? - Inside. Help yourself!

- Give Fei your thanks, boys! - Be good now.

- The smell is too pungent! - A splash of pepper will do the trick!

- Here! Have some soup! - Wait!

It's not poisoned.

Did I ask you if it is poisoned?

You know nothing about sharks.

Only the ones with three stripes on the gills are poisonous.

I shouldn't teach you too much!

Enjoy. I have to go and serve the others.

There're lots more, Brother Fei!

Take them home then!

Your soup is delicious.

It's nutritious too.

By the way, what's your name?

Yen Shih-san (Thirteen). What's yours?

Everybody calls me Fei. I grew up here.

Which tribe are you from?

We're nomads.

Nomads?

You certainly don't look like one of them.

"A swallow from antiquity flies into a commoner's abode"

Hey.

What you've just said was deep.

- I don't get it. - Brother Yen!

The lady you're with is calling you. I'll get you some more soup.

Fine, thanks.

I'll let you two talk.

Soup, Your Majesty.

You should have it. You must be exhausted.

Go ahead.

Your Majesty is kind-hearted, yet those villains are cruel and heartless.

I think we shouldn't fight with them anymore.

Let's just stay here.

Out of the question! I will not let my fellow citizens down.

I must rendezvous with Lord Lanling and utilize his military might.

It's been years since I last saw him and his daughter.

I wonder how Moon is doing now?

Actually, I would like to have Moon to stay by my side.

But how can I torture her with this wandering life of mine?

Your Majesty.

Not to worry. I've been watching him closely.

I don't think this young man is a problem.

Did I say he is?

Fei! Let me help you.

It's you! Thanks.

I'll do it.

Fei, why didn't you raise up the entire net? The fish will get away.

It's the fishermen's custom to give the fish a lifeline.

We think that's good karma. We call it "Open a corner in the net".

You've studied much. Haven't you heard it before?

I've heard it, but...

I've never seen it.

Cannons at 2 and 5!

Horses from 4 to 3!

Carriages from 7 to 9!

Two cannons as one!

The bamboo grove assassin!

I admit my failure!

Garbage! How could you let them get away?

What's the use of me keeping you?

"THE UNION OF HEAVEN AND MAN"

Checkmate!

Men! Return to the bamboo grove and search again!

I'll kill them all!

Be good now, Hoiwai.

Fei!

Brother Yen! You're up so early!

You're even earlier!

I come here every morning to play with my buddy.

His name is Hoiwai (Power of the sea).

Does he listen to you?

Of course! You don't believe me? Show him, Hoiwai!

"A pair of friends, their love is real and they frolic carefree

- amid the breeze" - Just watch the show!

"The freest of all is me, and me and you

living peacefully amid the sky and the sea

Fly towards the sky, and jump into the waves

How free it is to sing troubadour songs

Smiling and with open arms, we embrace each other..."

Who are those people?

They're my enemies! We'll meet again!

There's only one way out of here. You will bump into them for sure.

I know a safe place. Come with me!

We're almost there, Brother Yen. Come on.

Follow him!

This way.

You didn't expect to see such a nice place here, huh?

Come with me.

This is the place.

"THE MAUSOLEUM OF THE FIRST YEN EMPEROR"

Hey...

Hey, why are they...

You don't need to be formal.

Shut up. On your knees.

What are you guys up to now?

Fei. This is the imperial tomb of our first royal father.

First royal father? Who are you, really?

If he was his first royal father, then he must be the current Emperor!

He's the Emperor? I don't believe it.

How dare you!

But I don't. If he is indeed the Emperor,

then why was he in such desperation at the bamboo grove?

Also, he doesn't even know where his ancestor's tomb is.

That is absurd!

His Majesty is in such predicament

because his throne has been forcibly abdicated to the villains.

He didn't know the location of his ancestor's tomb

because our first royal father built 72 decoy tombs

so as to prevent theft by tomb raiders.

Is this true?

Shit. I come here and play all the time.

Your Majesty!

You may stand.

Thanks, Brother Yen... No, I mean... thanks, Your Majesty.

A commoner like me is not very good at formalities. Forgive me.

Then I'll allow you to address me just like before.

That's great! Hey, I want to...

But you can't address the Emperor as "Hey" either.

But that's how I used to call you.

- Hey! - Hey!

- By the way, Fei... - Yes?

How did you find this place?

I'll tell you how.

I was playing with Hoiwai one day,

and I discovered this old tomb by accident.

Also, this water alley leads straight to the sea!

You know what I think?

I think you should take refuge here. No one will find you.

No! The villain is still on the move.

We must rendezvous with Lord Lanling and his daughter before it's too late.

Fei, is there a shortcut here to the Western countryside?

Sure!

Let's disguise ourselves and depart immediately!

This way!

Silence! Step aside!

- Kneel! - On your knees!

Kneel!

Do as he says. Don't do anything rash without my order.

His Majesty approaches! Step aside and remain silent!

Who is that man?

- My royal brother. - Your brother??

Silence! His Majesty is here! Keep your mouth shut!

Men.

Where is the nearest fishing village from here?

About 60 miles, Your Majesty.
