"Scholar Wei Zhengyuan of the Royal Cabinet, presents his son Wei Feng to Your Majesty." "Long live Your Majesty." "Rise." "Thank you, Your Majesty." "Scholar Wei, does your son have any official capacity?" "Majesty, my son is humble." "He is still studying." " Does he know martial arts?" " A little." "Good." "Scholar Wei." "Your son has great talent." "He is well versed in both the pen and the sword." "I want Wei Feng to stay to discuss literature and martial arts." "You may leave." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Wei Feng!" "At your orders." "A Mongol warrior and a Buddhist master are here." "Go and test their martial arts." "Yes." "Yes." " Start with the Mongol warrior." " Yes." "Good." "Your technique is awesome." "I am glad that you liked it." "Come here, Wei Feng." "Yes." "Wei Feng." "I am at your orders." "Wu Sangui is plotting against us." "Have you heard about it?" "No." "I've been busy with my studies at home." "Per messenger, Wu is preparing an uprising with the help, from the followers of the late Ming regime." "They are just a bunch of bums!" "Except for a clan." "Your Majesty, which clan?" "The Tian clan in Qiping Province of Jiangbei district." "Their secret links with the rebel Wu cause me concern." "You should send the army to eliminate them." "I do not have sufficient evidence." "Sending the army hastily will alert them." "That is undesirable." "Your Majesty is insightful." "I'll send you to Qiping Province, to seek strong evidence of conspiracy." "I am not capable." "You're a man of both civil and military ability." "In addition, you are a Han." "You're the right person." "Your reward will match your success." "Majesty..." "I..." " Here's my order:" " Yes." "I order you to go to Qiping Province immediately, to investigate the rebellion of Tian's family." "Come back soon and bring us your evidence." "Yes." "Wei Feng, you have a great responsibility."

"My teaching is impeccable." "It is unreasonable!" "She's so naughty." " Sir, do not insist." " No way." "I need to clarify with her." "This is my reputation." "I think you should not teach anymore." "Go home and wait for death." "How disrespectful to your teacher!" "You do not study and in addition, you want to hit me." "That is not hit." "Over the years, your legs have softened." "I barely bump against you and you stumble." "And that is not hit?" "Go away or I start!" "Go away." "You deserve to be beaten up." "I deserve it?" "Why?" " You're a teacher?" " Yes." "Hitting a teacher!" "Confucius will return from his grave." "Forget Confucius." "Talk about you first." " You teach her to be good." " Yes." "It's not her fault if you have failed." "How?" "You..." "She becomes so fierce, that she wants to hit you." "What did you say?" "Your failure is obvious." "You have not taught well." "You're ruining the children of others." "Does he deserve to be beaten?" "Nonsense." "Master, do not insist." " Let it go." " I give up." "I have no luck." "Hey, your umbrella!" " Old man, go home." " Bad luck." "Hey." "What's your name?" "Wei, Wei Feng." "What a strange and long name!" "Not at all, it's Wei Feng." "Wei Feng?" "OK." "Why did you repeat Wei?" "It is an elegant way." "You won't understand." "Why don't you ask mine?" "What is it?" "My name is Zhizhi." "Tian, Tian Zhizhi." "They say a lady at the manor has a bad temper." "Is this you?" "Who said that?" "I'll slap him." "Whatever." "The teacher who just went away, should be the eighteenth, right?" "I don't like him." "That's not a reason to hit him." "You say one more word and I will hit you, too." "You won't." "I won't?" "I'm not your teacher." "Why do you hit me?" "Be a little more courteous to me." "Hey!" "Have you ever studied?" "So, I hire you as my teacher." "Do you agree?" "I refuse." "Wei Feng, why do you refuse?" "You do not respect me." "If you want me to be your teacher, you should call me Mr. Wei." "No way." "Then I won't teach you." "Chubby!" "You..." "Do you agree?" "No." "Good." "I have my own rule." "If you refuse to teach me, I will hit you three times." "Then..." "Hop like me and leave the manor." "Mr. Wei, I advise you to stay." "No!" "Mr. Wei..." "please be my teacher." "OK, if you decide to be polite, respect me, obey me, study hard and..." "Can't hit the teacher, right?" "flying DRAGON" "Uncle Zhong, I found another teacher." " You're..." " Teacher Wei." "Uncle Zhong, where is my mother?" "Zhizhi!" "Do not bother Uncle Zhong." "You should be studying." "Mom." "Aunt." "Mom, I've found a new teacher." "A new teacher?" "How about Mr. Wang?" "The old man was useless." "I've chased him away." "Zhizhi, you're always naughty." "Grandpa will be angry." "Grandpa?" "I'll explain to him." "He won't be angry at me." "Teacher Wei, this is my mother and my aunt." "I'm Wei Feng." "The old master arrives." "The main temple has been restored." "Harvest in the south is good." "Grandpa!" "Good morning." "Good morning, third uncle, fourth uncle." "Grandpa." "Grandpa, take the tea." "Mr. Wei." "Five Sun Manor is a family of notables." "You'll be treated well." "Thank you, old master." "But our rules are strict." "You cannot move beyond the study room, and the backyard." "Especially near the side yard, you are prohibited to go there." " I understand." " Tian Zhong!" " Take him inside." " Yes." "Grandpa, I accompany him." " Zhizhi!" " Zhizhi!" "Please." "Old master, you spoil her." "Dad, isn't this teacher a little too young?" "Yes." "Zhizhi is so young and inexperienced." "I fear that..." "I know." "Her previous teachers were older." "I hope this young teacher will finally succeed." "CROUCHlNG tiger" "This is the reading room for third uncle." "Why is there a weapon rack?" "Uncle practices martial arts when he has time." "Please." "phoenix DANCE" "Phoenix Dance?" "My mother and aunt live there." "Mr. Wei, please follow me." "GALLOPlNG HORSE" "This is probably where the fourth uncle lives." "Mr. Wei, this way please." "OK." "Mr. Wei." "The meditation room of the master is at this side yard." " And on this side..." " This is the study room." "Mr. Wei." "Please enter." "Uncle Zhong, you guys can go." "I keep my teacher company." "Miss, we are leaving." "Hey, Teacher Wei." "Watch when you walk." "You might fall into the water." "Please." "And then..." "I almost forgot to tell you," " I usually play there." " Good." "Here's where I practice martial arts." "Miss, you want to hit me already?" "Here's where you sleep." "And here is where you teach me." "Let's see how you teach me." "Open the book and repeat after me." ""Mencius bowed before the king."" ""Mencius bowed before the king."" ""The king said..."" ""The king said..."" ""'You have come from afar."" "Why don't you repeat after me?" "Look at the book, not me." "You're very strange." "Strange?" " What do you mean?" " You..." " You're not like them." " Who?" "The eighteen teachers I chased away." "That means that I am the nineteenth." "Repeat after me." ""The king said, You have come from afar."" ""The king said, You have come from afar."" ""Your visit will be beneficial to my country?"" ""Your visit will be beneficial to my country?"" ""Mencius said, My king, why did you say so?"" " Hey, teacher." " Don't practice martial arts now." "Why not?" "Come here." "I'll teach you." "I'm here to teach you to read, not practice martial arts." "Miss, are you going to kill me?" "Hey, get up." "Your grandpa wants you to study, but not practicing martial arts." "Yes." "But martial arts give you strength." "Thanks to martial arts," "I could chase away those eighteen idiots." "Miss, you should know that reading books is even better for you." "For example?" "You can acquire wisdom, understand things learn courtesy, filial piety, friendship, loyalty to your country." "This is called, "Loyalty, filial piety, humanity, courtesy and integrity."" "You cannot fight with it." "So, you think your martial arts are great, and fantastic?" "All right." "Come here." "OK." "Come on." "We do not fight." "We compare our strengths." "We compare our strengths?" "Can you throw this leaf, to the other side of the bridge?" "Piece of cake." "You couldn't even throw a leaf over there?" "Where is your strength?" "You're not convinced?" "Your turn!" "That's cheating!" "I put the bamboo leaf on a twig." "No need to throw hard." "Are you convinced now?" "I understand your ruse." "The wind can push the leaf." "But if it makes it heavier," "It can be shot like an arrow." "Exactly." "You should study hard to be intelligent." "All right." "Let's return to study." "Otherwise, your grandpa will scold you." "Don't worry." "He loves me." "It is he who taught me martial arts." "Your grandpa knows martial arts, too?" " What style?" " The shadow style." "The shadow style?" "Is it what you just showed me?" "No, it's like that." "Whoever gets captured by grandpa can no longer be free." "That is the shadow style." "It's this powerful?" "I only know a little bit." "Your whole family practices the shadow style?" "No." "Grandpa told me that besides him, there is only one other person who knows this style." "His name is Deng Nangshan." "What are you thinking?" "You want to continue?" "I was thinking about your writing class." "Let's go." "My writing class?" "Continue." "Write like me." "Smaller." "Show me." "Do not move when writing." "You need to concentrate." "Try it." "No." "Hold the brush like that." "Straighten up." "Look." "The hand must be flexible." "Relax it." "Look and write." "Miss, come read." "Enough of practicing martial arts." "I don't like reading." "I prefer to write." "OK." "Come in." "If you do not return in three months, your father will be demoted." "If you do not return in six months, the whole family will be thrown in jail." "If you do not return in one year, they will be executed." "Mr. Wei." "You OK?" "I'm fine." "The moon is so beautiful." "I went out for a walk." "Have I hurt you?" "Mr. Wei, good night." "Uncle Zhong, good night." "Grandpa!" "Zhizhi." "I have something to tell you." "What is it?" "Your teacher is disingenuous." "I have to kill him." "Kill Wei Feng?" "Grandpa!" "He is a stooge of the Qing regime." "I don't understand." "Zhizhi." "At this point I'll tell you the truth." "The Five Sun Manor is a rebel group, aiming at restoring the Ming regime." "Each month, at the night of the full moon a messenger of Wu Sangui will visit us." "He brings us the fund to prepare our troops, and the list of other branches." "Wei Feng is probably a spy serving the Qing regime." "Tian Zhong has discovered that." "This man must be eliminated." "No!" "He is not a spy." "Zhizhi." "You're young." "You don't understand." "Let your grandpa handle it." "No!" "I will not let you kill him." "Mother, please beg for me." "Do not kill him." "Old master, this case..." "Grandpa." "Zhizhi." "This is about the survival of our cause." "We must do it." "Grandpa, grandpa, don't kill him." "Zhizhi, if we don't kill him, one day, he will kill you and us." "He doesn't know martial arts." "How does he kill us?" "The Qing emperor doesn't know martial arts either." "That did not prevent him from crushing the rebel forces." "No matter what you say..." "Grandpa, you can't kill Wei Feng." "Why?" "Because..." "I'm in love with him." "I thought so." "Your personal love has blinded you of righteousness." "Grandpa..." "Even if you're in love with him, eventually you'll forget him." "No, I will not forget him because..." "Because why?" "I..." "Speak." "OK." "If you kill him, you kill my husband." "Your husband?" "Zhizhi, are you and him..." "That's why you have to spare him." "Zhizhi, you're not sensible." "You really did that?" "Grandpa, inside the study room..." "I've been alone with..." "Say no more." "You..." "If he is really the stooge of the Qing regime, I cannot save him." " Right." " Right." "He must be killed!" "Grandpa, if you must kill him kill me too!" "Zhizhi, weep no more." "I let him live." "But he must marry you, and cannot leave this manor." "Can you guarantee me?" "Yes, he will accept." "Grandpa, I'll tell him." " Prepare the wedding." " OK." "The bridegroom offers tea to the old master." "The bride offers tea to the old master." "Grandpa." "Younger sister-in-law, put this on for Zhizhi." "Zhizhi, I offer this Golden necklace." "I hope that you and Wei Feng, will stay in the Five Sun Manor forever." "Kneel!" "Imperial Decree." "By order of His Majesty," "Wei Zhengyuan is removed from his title and becomes an ordinary citizen." "Thank you, Your Majesty." "What happened to Wei Feng?" "Commissioner, what is the motive?" "Order of the Emperor." "According to this letter, this fall, Commander Wu, will redeploy troops in the North and South." "Yes." "Here's the new list of names." "Master, please take great care." " Bao Gang." " Yes." "Hide this list." " Sit down." " Please." "Please reply to Commander Wu, that we await his orders." "Where did you go at night?" "I walked a little." "You cannot sleep?" "I thought about my parents." "I've been here more than four months." "I'm homesick." "Homesick?" "But this is your home now." "I know, but I cannot forget my parents." "I want to see them." "Zhizhi, will you go with me?" "Leave?" "Grandpa will not allow that." "Not really." "Grandpa is a man of principle." "He would not oppose that you see your in-laws." "Zhizhi, promise me to ask him." "By order of His Majesty," "Wei Zhengyuan shall be thrown in jail." "His family will be imprisoned with him." " Such is the decree." " Thank you, Your Majesty." "Old master." " Take them!" " Yes." "Zhizhi!" "It's been almost two months." "How is it?" "What?" "Going home with me." "I forgot." "How could you forget?" "I shall ask him next time." "There is no need for you to ask." "I'll go ask myself." "Wei Feng!" "Wei Feng!" "Grandpa, I want to talk." "I..." "I would like to..." "What?" "Just say it." "I have left my family over six months." "My parents are not yet aware of my marriage." " So..." " Your parents?" " Where are they?" " In the capital." "And you want to go home, right?" "Yes." "I want to go home with Zhizhi." "We shall bow before the ancestors, see my parents, and..." " Do you really want to go?" " Yes, grandpa." "Do not worry." "We'll be back soon." "OK." "You should be." "Wei Feng, when do you leave?" "As soon as possible." "How about tomorrow?" "OK." "After you have bowed before the ancestors, there will be a farewell meal." "Thank you." "I'll tell Zhizhi." "Zhizhi, you can't even handle this trifle!" "Did you talk to Grandpa?" "He accepted immediately." "After bowing before the ancestors, there will be a farewell meal." "That is what he said?" "Zhizhi, what's wrong with you?" "Zhizhi, do not cry." "I'll take you to see my parents." "We will be back soon." "Wei Feng, you do not understand." "Grandpa will never let you leave the manor alive." "Why?" "He was pretty cordial." "Didn't he say bowing before the ancestors?" "That means that you must pass five tests." "The farewell meal means he wants to kill you!" "Zhizhi, what should we do now?" "Whether you go or stay, you're doomed." "We will live or die together as husband and wife." "Zhizhi, I..." "We'll take them by surprise and escape tonight." "Escape?" "You mean..." "Quick." "Change your clothes." "Change?" "You'll run faster in more comfortable clothes." "Old master, Zhizhi loves Wei Feng so much." "I'm afraid she will follow him." "And then..." "I hope she will remember the rules of our family." "But if she goes with him, what shall we do?" "We apply our rules." " Strings?" " To climb the wall." "This shield will protect you." "If someone is going to stop us." "who is gonna be the first?" "Uncle Zhong." "Tian Zhong?" " Uncle Zhong." " Miss, Wei." "I am only doing my duty." "Uncle Zhong, can you let us pass?" "Go quickly!" "Wei Feng, come on!" "Zhizhi, go quickly!" "Uncle Zhong." "Young lady." "Wei, take care." "Wei Feng, you..." "Wei Feng!" "You're so good at martial arts." "Why did you lie to me?" "I'll explain later." " Fourth uncle must be here." " Right." "He looks very nervous." "Nervous like a galloping horse." "He is very irritable." "Be careful." "His skills with sword are formidable." "But we can use his weakness to provoke him." "Once we have the opportunity, we can escape." "Let's separate." "Zhizhi, you really want to go with him?" "A wife must follow her husband." "You don't even know that?" "Insolent!" "Zhizhi, a single man will not understand." "You know martial arts?" "I just taught him." "Who would marry such a bad-tempered guy?" "You can be a eunuch." "No way." "He is too impulsive." "Once he is, he'll no longer be temperamental." "Zhizhi, go quickly!" "Go!" " Younger sister-in-law." " Fourth uncle." "The Phoenix Dance room is ours." "I don't care." "Fourth uncle, respect the family rule." "Go home!" "Thank you, aunt." "Thank you, mother." "Wei Feng, come on." " Mother, you..." " You have not passed the test." "Mother, let us go." "Mother!" "Move back!" "Mother." "Zhizhi!" "A dummy spike!" "Thank you, mother." "These spikes are the idea of your aunt." "Thank you, aunt." " Rise." " Yes." "Zhizhi." "Your mother and I both know the pain of not having a husband." "Third uncle is in the next room." "You will not succeed in defeating his sword technique." "There is only one way." "Younger sister-in-law." "They can only pass his test with your help." "Sister, I..." "If you do not help your daughter, who will?" "Go." "Let's go." "Younger sister-in-law, you don't need to plead their case." "Third uncle, do me a favor." "Let them pass." "Zhizhi, I can let her go." "But Wei Feng must stay here." "You want to separate them?" "They have to overcome the test at my Crouching Tiger room." "Third uncle, forgive the insolence of your niece." "Third uncle!" "OK." "You've passed my test." "But there remains the old master." "I'm not afraid." "Mother will help us." " Zhizhi, I..." " Mother!" "Mother..." "Beseech him for us." "OK." "Drop your weapons." "Third uncle, forgive us." "Let's go." "Grandpa." "Aren't you leaving tomorrow?" "Grandpa, we will return." "When you come back, the Qing's minions will be all over the manor." "No." "Zhizhi, if you're the daughter of Tian's family, you shouldn't leave the manor." "Grandpa, I am the daughter of Tian's family, and Wei Feng is the son-in-law." "How could we hurt Tian's family?" "Moreover..." "I'm your favorite, grandpa." "That's why you should not go away." "Grandpa, I'll just visit my in-laws." "Remember." "When you were begging me to save Wei Feng, what have I said?" "But Wei Feng is my husband." "Do you really want to go?" "Grandpa, forgive my lack of filial piety." "You do not deserve to wear my jade." "Grandpa!" "Old master!" "Old master, I lost my husband a long time ago." "I have only Zhizhi." "She is your only granddaughter." "She will not hurt Tian's family with Wei Feng." "Please let them go." "Zhizhi is not my granddaughter." "Feng Wei is not our grandson-in-law." " Take weapons." " Grandpa!" "Old master!" "Come on!" "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" " Younger sister-in-law!" " Old master!" "Let them go." "The shadow style!" "Zhizhi!" "Zhizhi!" "Wei Feng, go quickly!" "Wei Feng, go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Zhizhi!" "Guards!" "Get him!" "Hurry up!" "Go, go, go!" "Prepare horses!" "Third brother, he must be hiding." "Shoot on sight." "Prepare your arrows." "Shoot!" "Pursue him!" "Why is he not surfacing?" "He was shot by so many arrows." "He must be dead." "Let's go back." "Go back!" "The shadow style!" "Please." "Please." "Uncle Zhong." "Who are you?" "Wei Feng!" "I know the rule of Tian's family." "One must pass the tests to enter and exit." "Tell the old master!" "Tell the old master." "Close all the doors!" "Run!" "Hello, third uncle." "You're not dead?" "Take a weapon." "Are you always this irritable, fourth uncle?" "Zhizhi was right." "You're like a real horse!" "A horse?" "More like a donkey!" "Fourth uncle, use your best sword skills." "I didn't expect you'd come back." "I said I'd come back." "How many minions of the Qing regime did you bring with you?" "None." "This time I come back to avenge the death of Zhizhi and her mother." "Revenge?" "The affairs of Tian's family does not concern you." "Zhizhi was Wei's family member." "I do not recognize you as a son." "You have passed the dragon, tiger, phoenix and horse tests." "Now, what are you still waiting for?" "Give me Zhizhi's jade medallion." "Her medallion is here." "Come get it." "I just wanted to try your shadow style." "Not bad." "What is this style?" "It doesn't come from any school." "It's the mantis." "The secret list?" "How come?" "I infiltrated the Tian's family for this." "Scholar Wei." "You have raised your son well." "I offer this glass." "Thank you, Your Majesty." "Your Majesty." "All the credit goes the royal guard." "Honor him first." "Honor the scholar first." " No!" " No, first..." "The scholar first..." "Both of you deserve that." "No precedence." " Yes." " Yes." "Your son honors your name." "Congratulations." " Thank you, Your Majesty." " Thanks to the Ming dynasty." "Father!" "Wei Feng." "We serve the Qing regime, to wait for the opportunity to knock over the regime." "Father!" "You killed the followers of the Ming dynasty." "You're an insult to my family." "I'd rather die." "Protect the Emperor, arrest them!" "Protect the Emperor!" "Stop it!" "I have put poison in our glasses." "Now father and son will die to give thanks to the Ming dynasty." "Dad!" "Scholar Wei, it was not necessary." "Barbarian, listen to me." "You can never kill all the Ming heroes who oppose the Qing regime."
