It was a time the emperor starts to confiscate all weapons,
He commands Meng Yezi, the best swordsmith in the realm,
to make him a legendary sword – Sword of Light,
When the sword is ultimately cast, Meng Yezi cast Sword of Shadow,
to rein Sword of Light for incoming bloodshed,
The danger arrives at his doorstep,
while Sword of Shadow is yet to be done,
Kill them,
Father!
May the Sword of Shadow bless my son Meng Yang
For a life of peace,
Father,
come with me!
My time has come to an end,
yet I haven't finished the sword,
You can revenge for me
when the sword is ultimately cast,
Father, come
Go!
Zhao Han
Sword of Light,
So fine,
Who really wants me dead?
His Majesty, or you?
There's nothing more to be said,
Someone paid 22 pounds of gold
For your life
Come on then
However
We, White Rainbow Assassins, will shed no blood on an unlucky day
Today is a big unlucky day
So count yourself lucky
Boss is ready
Quickly,
One, two, three
You seem like a good man
You can have half the gold
Leaving a personal object, and I can spare your life,
My good man,
you can have
all the gold
Now!
Quickly
Where
did you get the sword
Those who know the answer
were dead already
One can see the person through his sword,
I hope you deserve to own it,
What does that mean?
Don't come closer
So … we done?
Boss awed him
You don't know shit,
Awed him?
Who shot the arrows?
Him,
You almost got me
Dangit,
Be quiet!
Back off!
Let us in
Back off!
Let us in
Back off! Shut it!
Open the damn gate
Wanna die?
God darn it
Why this time?
I heard
a few insurgent troops are coming from the East
They are grabbing civilians everywhere,
so brutal,
Back off!
Open it please,
Make way,
make way,
Be quiet!
Hey bro
We are castellan's servants
Not refugees
Please let us in
No,
Why they do that?
Shame
Jesus
Not nice,
What are you looking at?
Tell the guards
The refugees might sneak in after dark
Castellan Luo
Your Highness
Castellan
What do you think of my boots
Well-made
They match well with your temperament
Speaking of the boots,
I'll have to tell a story
Ten years ago
A grand famine broke forth around here,
Refugees don't know where to go
The castellan, however,
is a forethoughtful wise man
He was afraid that the refugees might cause chaos in the city
So he closed the gate
When the refugees had nothing to eat and no place to live
They marched north and seek refuge with the barbarians
Not long after
They took revenge
And brought the barbarians into the Red Town
They skinned the castellan alive
And
Made the boots with his skin
Hey, you fool upstairs!
Open the freaking gate!
Open it!
Or I'll stick you with my fingers
One by one!
Aren't you scared!
The human skinned boots still look new
and now they are-
I get it now
Your Highness
Open the gate
and let them in!
Yes, sir,
Three
Two
Still
Very comfortable
One
Just an exiled prince, let's wait and see
It's opened!
Aha!
It worked!
See?
Make way
Let's go!
Orders!
Lunch calls!
We’ve got food!
Take it easy,
Thank you, Sister Luna
One by one
Thanks,
Orders, orders,
Thank you,
We have enough,
one after one
Don't eat too fast
Here you go
It’s so good
Dali
This one for you
Sister Luna
We can split it in half
You can have it all
I'm not hungry
But
But you haven't had anything for days
No worries
When Meng Yang comes back
He'll bring food for us
Slowly
Meng Yang
I have an announcement
We got the deal
Finally!
What do you mean …
Finally?
Stop messing around
Bring this to Boss Xing
Get some food
No, reserve the whole restaurant
Let us feast,
Yes!
You're not coming?
No
I'll catch up with you later
Alright,
Go,
Boss Xing
Since we got him
About the bounty,,,
It is
indeed Zhongshan's jade pedant
Of course
No one can survive three moves
Under our boss
It's strange
If Zhongshan's dead
Then why someone saw him
on the broadway this morning？
Impossible
I watched him fell off the cliff with my own eyes,
I know you guys reasonably well
Just some little gangs
How could you possibly kill Zhongshan?
You can't disavow our work
The evidence is here
I never disavow anything
We had a deal
Get me his head
And I give you 22 pounds of gold
With just the jade pendant
Then you can have this
Mister
I can get the money tomorrow
Can you do anything about it, please?
How many times do I have to tell you?
Money isn't the issue,
Your sword was made
With the most delicate iron from the Five Mountains
And the best alloy from the realm
Just go around the world
There might be only a few
who can help you with it,
So there is someone who can
After
the best swordsmith
Meng Yezi is killed
Who else dares to cast swords
So
How about you sell it to me
I can melt it
And make some hoes
Put it in a good value
What do you think?
Bear with it
You can't be this impulsive anymore
He was insulting us
There's no way I'll take that
What's more important? Your so-called dignity or your life?
Both
We can't find any odd jobs
with the refugees now in town,
I'd eat more in my dreams
if I knew
Hmph
Maybe my anger
Can feed me up
“Here Lies My Dearest Father: Meng Yezi”
Old man
I'd trade my sword
for twenty coins
I give you thirty
You can't sell it
Let go
It's your only hope for revenge
I can't even kill a chicken
with this damn sword
Now talking about revenge?
What could happen what after you sell it?
Huh?
Boss
Have a pancake
Luna
Here you go
where did it come from
Boss
Here comes our good life!
So this might be a suitable business for you guys
A young gentleman needs to go to the Palace
and he needs a few guards
The Palace?
The insurgent troops are everywhere now
Our fee will be high
Gold
Up
Stand up Wonton
We can't be looked down
Where are my legs?
Up!
220 pounds of gold
Half down payment
Buy your men
some decent outfit
leave at once
Meng Yang
Did you feel anything strange?
Yeah
I haven't been this happy since forever!
I mean
With so much bounty
Why do they have to pick us?
It's a dangerous journey to the Palace
With war and famine everywhere now
Who even wants to go?
But --
But neither do we,
With so much bounty
We'll run away halfway,
I'm telling you
No more pancake for you from me
You had enough
Thanks to that gentleman
Or they won't even get shelter here
Boss
Qiongqi, Wonton
Give them our pancakes
What?
Go
Fine,
You give them those
Slowly, slowly
Here
the pancakes
From our boss
Take it
Thank you,
Boss
So you are the guy who is going with us?
Just to be clear
It's too much danger on the way to the Palace
You'll have to pay the other half now
No problem
Let's go
Good job
I'm flattered
Castellan Luo
You know who they're with, right?
Yes,
yes I do
You do?
Then I can't have you anymore
Send out a message
Prince Du is on his way
Yes sir,
What a superb inn!
We'll stay here tonight,
Welcome, Your Highness,
Your Highness
Does it mean that he's…
Prince Du?
Why aren't you all be seating?
Hey
Your Highness
We are all paupers
How could we possibly be sitting with you?
The country isn't one man's country
And there's no high and low
Besides, we're companions
I see no reason that we can't sit together
Okay,
sit down now
Come on
Mister Meng
May I take a look at your sword, please?
Show it to His Highness
I heard Your Highness is fond of swords
I bet you can tell if it's a good one
Influenced by what I saw and heard
I guess I know a little
The shape and weight is strong like a mountain
Even though rusted,
It's still a beautiful sword
The swordsmith's mark
You have never seen one?
No
Cheers
Come on
Meng Yang
Cheers
Meng Yang
I know what you are about to say
Relax
I won't touch him
I've heard Prince Du is a kind and wise man
So different from his father
Speak of today
Indeed
You go
and tell everyone to pack
We're leaving tonight
Tonight?
But
Who's playing Qin
this late?
Go away!
Away! Go away!
There you go!
You can kill me
Spare the others
I never had a living soul
fled out of my hand
Who are you
The best assassin in the world
White Rainbow Assassins
Ji Wuliu
Retreat
Fire!
Run!
Hurry!
Sister Luna
Are you okay?
You're bleeding
Who is he?
White Rainbow Assassins
Ji Wuliu
Thank you, everyone, for helping me
No worries,
it’s our job
You don’t need to thank us, Your Highness
People who can order about White Rainbow
Must be a powerful man at high places
Ordinary civilians like you are no match to him
So please leave soon
Your Highness
You are the crowned Prince
How dare they even lay hands on you?
Exactly
My father wants me to accede the throne
Now they tried to kill me
It's obvious someone doesn't want me back
I wish you a safe journey back,
farewell
Your Highness…
Meng Yang
I'll escort His Highness tomorrow
You need to take our guys back to the Red Town
Why?
You said
Because I'm the boss
Understand?
You've seen it
You guys can't deal with the assassins
But Prince and I
Can at least cover ourselves
Be careful then
Meng Yang
You promised us
That you'll protect us
Forever
Don't worry
I'm a man of my word
I believe you
It has nothing to do with the job
I just want to see the Palace
These are all corpses of insurgent troops
Some civil strife shit seems to me
Which way should we take?
The trail
Lots of insurgents over that direction
The person who wants me dead
is much more murderous than insurgents
I'll go change
Kill,
How do I look?
Now you are a proper civilian
One for you
and one for you
Someone lives here!
Too bad!
Sir
The insurgents are here,
Please hide quickly!
Hurry!
Go to the storage room,
Take the horse!
Sir, hurry!
Come to the storage
Hurry!
Quickly, please!
Don't make a sound
You go over there,
Where are the people!
Who else in the property?
Just me and my son,
Take him!
Sir,
My good sir,
please spare me!
Sir,
no one else
could take care of my son!
Son!
Daddy!
Son!
Get off!
Son!
Daddy!
My dear son!
Don't cry
Quickly!
My dear
Daddy
It's okay, it's alright
You are not coming back, are you?
Silly boy
When the willow tree is breeding sprouts,
I'll be back
Go!
Wait!
Take him!
Daddy!
Son!
Daddy!
Take good care of yourself!
Daddy!
Son!
Daddy!
Are you okay?
Daddy!
What are you doing?
I'm going to save them!
Save them?
How?
Kill those insurgents?
Then you'll attract the whole troop here
They'll not just be taken, they'll be dead
What's your suggestion?
You are the Prince,
the future emperor
They're all your people
And you're just sitting here and watch?
But the insurgents are my people as well!
They want a good life, too,
Violence can't solve all these problems
But a peaceful world can
Meng Yang
Why do you think I'm heading back to the Palace?
For the throne that everyone wants?
I know the journey is a call of death
But I need to do it
For the people, and the world,
Give out my order
Summon the rest of our people
Yes, sir!
As a prince,
why were you at the Red Town?
My father sent out an order
to burn the books
and confiscate weapons
I spoke against him, and he wasn't happy about it
Then he sent me away
Don't you find it strange?
If he wants you to be his heir
Why let someone like us do the job?
People care about their reputations
in the Palace
If someone wants the throne
and do not wish to be suspected
Let me disappear quietly on the way back could be the best option
Who is that person?
Do you possibly know?
I was away for too long
And I don't see the situation in the Palace anymore
You left me the jade?
Of course
to get you killed here
Where
does that sword come from?
I was about to ask you the same question
I can tell you
Then shoot and cut the bullshit
But first, you are going to tell me
Where is Prince Du?
Go to hell
It might be the insurgent troops coming this way
Retreat
Boss!
See?
I know he's here!
Meng Yang
Boss
please don't blame Sister Luna
We insisted on coming
Right?
We had a deal that we'll die and live together
We won't let you risk along
Totally
What the hell are you doing?
Did you find out the answer?
You were following me
Huh?
While it's dark
Go back now!
And after that?
After that, we'll just starve and live like the old days?
Still better than die!
What's the difference between the past life and death?
If we can help Prince Du to take back his throne
Maybe we can change this world
we can save people like us from starving!
I don't want to starve
I don't want to go back
Neither do I
That's what we want
Go!
Your Highness!
Your Highness
We found you at last!
Why are you here?
You said we'll stay together, remember?
And you ditched us
Right
You haven't eaten, right?
I just had dinner,
See?
I saved you a …
We've been through all the things together
There's no way to separate a family like ours
Wait, couldn't find the bite…
Meng Yang
Run!
Run Your Highness!
Your Highness!
Hurry!
Move
Dali!
You go first!
Dali!
Go!
No!
Go!
Go now!
Go!
Dali!
No!
I really want to have a bite now
We
can finally protect the boss
Don't go…
You
let go of the Prince…
Meng Yang
Your Highness
Are you alright?
I'm sorry
Qiongqi
Dali
Wonton
I'm sorry
They are outside
Why don't you go out and save them!
Meng Yang
They don't want to see you like this
What do they want?
They are just a few orphans
All they want is to live
This is all your fault
Your bullshit throne
Your stupid peace
They are all dead because of you
I'm sorry
Who's down there
Go!
Let's go and see!
The insurgents…
Let’s go!
Take them!
Move！
Let go of me!
Move!
Be quick！
Behave yourself!
Move！
Get up!
Move！
Get over here!
Move!
What are you looking at?
Behave yourself!
Over there!
Businessman?
Yes
We're from the Red Town
Heading to the Palace for business
We didn't expect
a group of bandits on the way
Sorry to disturb you
There is chaos everywhere
Why not go for the broadway
Because
The broadway
Is crowded with greedy officials
They'll rip us off
We're all refugees
You may rest here then
Move
They are from the outside
I want to see the outside
Quiet
My dear
Meng Yang
It's all my fault
I shouldn't have let you guys came along
We'll head back to the Red Town tomorrow
If we leave now
Aren't they be dead for nothing?
I haven't seen they act like that for my whole life
Meng Yang
You promised to protect us
Now they are gone
You need to finish what they haven't done
What are you talking about?
We aren't able -
We aren't able to protect his throne
Don't you know that from the beginning?
Then what are you able to do?
Still being a fraud?
Or revenge for your father?
Great
I'll leave by myself
You were asking for me?
Getting any better?
Thanks to your medication
I'm almost recovered
The Picking Osmund is quite damaged
Many words are missing, I'm afraid?
Long ago, when we set out,
the willows spread their shade,
Now, when we shall be returning,
the snow will be falling clouds,
Long and tedious will be our marching,
we shall hunger, we shall thirst,
Our hearts are stricken with sorrow,
but no one listens to our plaint,
These books
were burnt by that fatuous ruler many years ago
How could you possibly know the words?
My father used to work in the royal library
I had the honor to read a few books when I was little
Those burnt books are now gone
Such a shame
Indeed
However, if people who read them remember
Even they were burnt
They remain
You are a brilliant man of knowledge
Here, we are isolated from the war
I'm wondering if you would stay
And help me?
If you use a sword like that
There's no necessity for revenge
You can go home now
Go away
Leave me alone
You can't get grip of the sword
Why?
Because you don't believe in it
That's why it's not fast enough
Are you laughing at me?
Blunt like this
What can it do?
It's not the sword that's blunt
It's your heart
You don't believe in your sword
How come it has any power
Don't give me those talks
The sword is unfinished
It can do nothing
Always someone else's fault,
Your faith should be sharper than the sword
And stronger
Remember
The true strength isn’t about taking lives
But saving lives
I believe in you so much
How can you not believe in yourself?
We gonna need some tools
If we want to go up
I saw someone came down from up there yesterday
There must be a way
Isn't it a little bit rude to leave without saying goodbye?
What an honor, Your Highness
Oops,
it just crossed my mind that
We are insurgents!
Take them
General Chen
What is it about?
Raise your royal head and look around
Their families
friends
All dead in the bloody hands of your father
They run for their lives
And hide underground where they don't see the light of the day
Burn him alive!
Wait!
Burn him alive!
My buddies
are all dead because of him
I want to set the fire
myself
Meng Yang you -
Fine
I give you the opportunity
No tricks
Let go of him
Burn him alive!
My buddies
They are orphans
They are timider
and weaker than me
World peace? They don't know what that means,
But they do know
that killing
and running away
won't save the troubled world
The person you are going to kill
is a humane and wise heir to the throne
is the only hope to change the world
The flowers are bloomed
and the skies are blue
Don't you want to go up and see them?
I do
My lady?
You -
We escaped from the burnt village
and has been hiding the Red Town
They gave us food when we were starving
Thanks to them we are alive
I saved you the other half
Thank you
Let him go
Follow the east river
You'll find a way to the Palace
Thank you
But remember
If you can't make a good emperor
I'll break in the Palace and kill you
If I can
I hope you can lead them out
I failed to take Prince Du's head
I'm leaving
The White Rainbow Assassins said
Never go against destiny or cheat one's will
I'm out of the game
And no one can stop me
How dare you!
I never want to see this treacherous gangster anymore!
Did you find out the answer?
You knew
I did, when we were at the inn
And I guess Ji Wuliu's Sword of Light
was cast by your father, too
My father told me
I can revenge for him
When the sword is ultimately casted
I spent twelve years
and did everything I can but still…
I can see nothing special from this sword
except reining Sword of Light
Maybe your father meant something else
Maybe
Thank you
For what you said in the cave
You owe me a few lives of my brothers
You will not die easily
The light of thy
is brighter than the sword
You have many people risk their lives for thy
Maybe You are the destiny
There is a dangerous road lying ahead of thy
Take care
That is the Palace in front of us
Finally
We'll drink when we get there!
We will
Let’s go,
It's okay
They are here to lead the way
How dare you
to follow me all the way to the Palace
Not exactly
Zhao Han
It's you
Lord Protector Zhao Han
A dog
of the emperor
Well, having been a dog for so many years
Now it's time for me to be a man
How dare you to assassin the Prince
Right near the Palace
You're going to die
Just not today
Oh, you're the son of Meng Yezi
I remember I killed your whole family
How come you are alive
Go!
Meng Yang
I couldn't remember when's the last time
I'm sitting here with you for a sunset
You won't forget about me
Right?
Meng Yang
You promised us that you'll protect us
Forever
Don't worry
I'm a man of my word
Father
Zhao Han!
Your Majesty
Your Majesty?
Time to die
Father
Prince Du killed his Majesty for the throne,
here ended his reign
Take your time
No hurry
For a better world
Your Highness
Please don't make mistakes again, Your Highness
Don't make mistakes again
Turn around
It's you
I didn't expect to see you here at piles of corpses
Who killed them
Zhao Han's troops
It's time for your revenge
When the sword is ultimately casted
Master Meng knows Zhao Han holds great powers
He said that because he doesn't want
you to be bond to vengeance
Now I understand
But it's too late
Master Meng once said
White is hard
Yellow is tenacious
A mixture of the two will be hard and tenacious
That makes a good sword
What does that mean?
Go ask him then
My time has come to an end
Yet I haven't finished the sword
It's time to revenge for me
When the sword is ultimately cast
Father
Come-
Go!
Zhao Han
Who really wants me dead?
His Majesty, or you?
There's nothing more to be said
Meng Yang, did you find out the answer?
Father?
Sword of Shadow reins Sword of Light
to protect you
But the key to unleashing its real power
are you
Me?
Besides strength
You need a good heart, to protect other people and the world
Sword of Shadow rise from your blood
When your will connects with the soul of it
You will understand
Never forget
You are a Meng
Never forget
Your responsibility
Prince Du
Killed His Majesty for the throne
The sin is no way to be forgiven
To make the justice
and reinforce the rules
He shall be beheaded in public
One man violates the law
I'll kill that man
One city violates the law
I'll slaughter that city
Aren't we said that if the Prince violates the law, he must be punished like an ordinary people
Who else
Dares to violate my law!
Me!
Is that guy stupid?
You came alone
I am a little loath to kill you
Alone?
Over my back
I present to you the whole world!
Someone told me
It's not a sword
that can fix the troubled world
It's your faith
Now
I'm going to save him
And he
will save the whole world!
Kill him!
Do you really think the world will remember you?
It's me
who they remember!
Sword of Shadow reins Sword of Light
to protect you
But the key to unleashing its real power
are you
Meng Yang
You can do it
As a swordsmith from House of Meng
Go reach your peak of perfection!
Throne…
mine…
The throne
has never been yours to sit on
The outside
The world
Are waiting for you
So are we gonna fight or not?
Prince is here!
Your Highness!
Meng Yang
Thank you for taking back the world for me
Sifu
There's someone here to see you
Sifu?
What for?
He said
for a drink,
