A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
EPISODE 30
Xiu'er!
My Xiu'er!
What happened?
Do girls often go missing around here?
Yes.
There is an accursed deflower bandit.
He abducts girls who are around the age of ten.
We've lost several girls nearby.
How could I be so careless?
The bandit must not have gone far.
-Mr. Yan, let's go after him or-- -My Xiu'er!
The world is rife with suffering.
There is nothing much I can do.
My hands are tied.
Xiu'er!
My Xiu'er!
Xiu'er!
Mr. Yan, you were gone for four hours last night.
Were you tracking down the deflower bandit?
Why didn't you bring me along?
Nonsense. I just went to the restroom.
Where are we heading now?
I'm in a bad mood.
I need to find someplace to vent my frustration.
WANHUA PAVILION
-Don't worry. I'll surely be back. -Come have a seat inside.
-Come again! -Absolutely.
-Please come in. -No, thanks.
I never imagined
-you'd come to a place like this. -Let's drink.
Please come in.
-There's a lot you don't know. -I'll be back for you.
-Let's go. -Come on in.
-I won't enter such a place. -Did you miss me?
-I'll drink with you. -Do you wish to die?
-I would rather die. -Come on in.
-Come in! -Let's go upstairs!
Jiang Xiaoyu is being grounded by Mr. Tong.
-Sir, you're so handsome. -He goes where Mr. Tong tells him to go.
Please come in!
-He is right. -Hurry up.
-Jiang Xiaoyu has even less freedom. -Take care.
If I don't follow Mr. Yan,
I will have nothing to exchange with Mr. Tong for Jiang Xiaoyu.
This wine is rancid!
Such a big Wanhua Pavilion.
How dare you give me this to fool me around?
Bring me your best wine!
Yes, sir!
Ladies, hurry up.
Sir, take a look at these pretty ladies.
Are they to your liking?
They are so ugly.
Do you think I'm blind?
-How rude. -Hua Wuque.
What do you think of them?
Average looks.
See?
My friend won't even bother to spare them a glance.
They are not good enough.
Sir, they are our most popular girls.
Is that so?
I think you're just looking down on me as you think I can't afford the best.
Bring me your most beautiful ladies!
You've already sent my girls away five times.
I'm afraid we don't have any more girls.
How do you stay in business
when not a single lady is pleasing to the eye?
Get out!
-Go, hurry. -Go.
-Indeed. -Go.
I'll pick one myself!
Mr. Yan!
I'm afraid this is beneath your dignity.
Does Yihua Palace own Wanhua Pavilion?
I simply find this very rude.
The worst is yet to come.
Yes.
He is quite agile.
That's him! Attack!
A useless bunch!
Step back!
I've heard that those with any sense
dare not cause trouble at brothels and gambling houses
because they can't bear to offend those men behind these establishments.
Did you think everyone would fear you
because you operate under the name of Wei Wuya?
So you knew it
and you came here to stir up trouble.
I also know you were kicked out of the clan.
You are no more than a stray dog!
Even if the King of Rat, Wei Wuya were here to back you up,
he might also take to his heels when he sees me.
Who exactly are you?
I am Yan Nantian.
Yan Nantian?
Where are the girls? Take me there.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Don't.
Mr. Yan, I know I have done wrong.
I'll take you there.
I won't partake in such a vulgar affair.
I will wait for you here.
I won't leave.
Despicable.
That's what the shady business Wanhua Pavilion does.
You thug! How dare you sneak up on me?
Mr. Yan.
This cold iron cable was prepared just for you.
Didn't you say you wouldn't come along on this vulgar affair?
I stayed behind purposely to provide you with help if necessary.
It seems I was mistaken about you.
No, don't!
-Don't. -What do you have to say?
I...
Mr. Yan, please spare me!
I'll release them right away!
I'll spare your life if you promise me two things.
I'll promise you as many things as you want!
First, send them all home.
No matter where they are from,
you have to escort each of them home personally.
Yes!
Second, close down Wanhua Pavilion.
You are not to engage in such conscienceless business again.
Yes.
Don't.
I will be watching you.
If you commit evil again, I will make sure you live to regret it.
I absolutely won't! I swear!
Leave!
Thank you, Mr. Yan!
-Thank you, Mr. Yan! -Thank you, Mr. Yan!
-Get up.
SIXIANG RESTAURANT
Sirs, this wine is a gift from my mother.
Hua Wuque, you had the perfect opportunity.
Why didn't you take the chance to kill me or escape?
I have no reason to kill a noble hero who condemns evil.
But I'm holding you captive.
That doesn't mean you are a villain.
I have a newfound respect for your character.
I investigated the abduction thoroughly last night.
Perhaps I ought to have brought you along
to spare myself the trouble of going to so many places.
Over the past few days,
I've seen for myself that you are every bit worthy of being called a hero.
You have my utmost respect.
You want to kill Jiang Xiaoyu, but he still wants to befriend you.
Now I see that
you certainly are a man of honor worth befriending.
Thank you for the compliment. I raise my glass to you.
Cheers.
This wine is strong.
Your chivalrous spirit
is strikingly different from Yihua Palace's style.
It's really hard to come by.
From today onward, you don't have to follow me.
I'm talking to you.
What did you say?
Why are you so preoccupied?
I can't explain it.
I just feel ill at ease.
You must be bored out of your mind following me.
How about this?
I'll set you free.
Go wherever you like.
We will meet up at Fengqiao Town in seven days.
Aren't you afraid that I'll break faith with you?
I trust you.
Thank you, Mr. Yan.
GU MANOR
Ms. Meng!
Remember, my name is Hei Zhizhu.
-I'll wait for you. -"Hei Zhizhu"?
-Tell me if anything catches your eye. -Give me a discount.
-Buy anything you want. -All right.
Pack everything.
-Thank you. -Here is your change.
Murong Jiu, my father told me your recovery is proceeding smoothly.
Have you remembered anything about the past?
It's okay if you don't remember.
-There's no rush, take your time. -Take a look.
-Have a look. -Thank you.
Take care.
-Come and have a look. -Over here.
-It's on sale. -Thank you.
Lady, please have a look.
It's of good quality.
Murong Jiu, what do you think of this cloth?
Ms. Gu, what do you think?
If you say it's good, it's good.
-Come again. -Thank you.
By the way, there's a tailor at the end of the street.
They have many new stocks of materials.
I told the owner to reserve the best, so that you can choose from among them.
-Thank you. -Have a look.
-It's over there. -Here. Look at this.
Murong Jiu!
Look at this.
-Murong Jiu! -Thank you.
Well...
Do you know Hei Zhizhu?
-All right. -No, I don't.
All right.
-Do you know Hei Zhizhu? -No.
Do you know Hei Zhizhu?
No.
Sir, please come inside.
-Come here. -Have a look.
Do you know Hei Zhizhu?
No.
-Hei Zhizhu? -No.
Lady, I know Hei Zhizhu.
Sir, do you know Hei Zhizhu?
Yes.
Taste this.
Here.
Come and have a look.
Sir, are you Hei Zhizhu's friend?
Yes, we have been close friends for many years.
What does he look like?
Does he have a good temperament?
He is tall, slim, and handsome.
He is a perfect match for you.
It's not much different from my imagination.
Ms. Murong Jiu.
Why are you looking for him?
I have a trustworthy friend whose name is Xiaodai.
I guess he is now known as Xiaoyu'er.
He once told me in a serious manner that I must remember Hei Zhizhu.
I think Hei Zhizhu must be someone really important to me.
You're such an innocent and romantic girl.
Anyone who marries you
must have done a lot of good deeds in his past life.
Please stop teasing me.
Where is Hei Zhizhu?
When can I see him?
We need to go to a place first.
He lives quite far away.
But if we travel day and night, we'll reach there in three days at most.
Okay.
Here, have some more.
Tie Pinggu.
How long have we been walking?
I think it's around a day and a night.
We've been walking for such a long time?
No way. I can't walk anymore.
I'm going to die from thirst, starvation, and fatigue soon.
We can't stop now.
If Mr. Tong comes after us, we're doomed.
I think he won't be able to find us here.
He will, sooner or later.
So we can't stop even for a minute.
Let's go.
If I knew this tunnel would be so long,
I would have brought along the remaining roasted chicken.
There's another fork in the path.
Which way are we going?
Come here.
Over here.
There's an arrow here.
There's another arrow here.
The exit must be ahead of us. Let's go.
We are almost there. Why don't you move?
If you keep following the arrows, you'll see Mr. Tong soon.
Aren't the arrows showing the way?
They are showing the way, but the way is definitely not an exit.
How do you know that?
I think these arrows were drawn by the monks who were here.
They were also afraid they might lose their way and be trapped in here.
That's why they drew these arrows.
They were hiding from bandits.
Where do you think the monks would go after the bandits left?
They would go back to the temple.
So these arrows are pointing to the temple
as they were only hiding temporarily in the cave.
The arrows are most likely not pointing to an exit to the outside.
You're a smart girl.
-You should lead the way. -All right.
Will we ever find an exit?
I have no idea,
but we should be moving further away from Ugly Monster.
I don't see any arrows anymore.
What should we do?
We can only see where our luck takes us.
Let's go that way.
Who is there? Show yourself if you dare!
If I show myself, are you brave enough to meet me?
A true hero wouldn't be hiding in the dark!
Come out!
You little rascal, we meet again.
What's wrong? Don't you recognize me anymore?
The Evil Gambling Demon, Xuanyuan Sanguang?
It seems we're going to die here.
No one can escape death.
I, Xiaoyu'er,
can die together with a girl as pretty and smart as you today,
this life is worthwhile.
We're dying,
yet you still try to cheer me up.
You are indeed a nice person.
I am known
as the most wicked person in the world.
I never expected someone would say I'm a nice person when I'm almost dead.
I'm telling the truth.
I feel so sleepy.
I need to take a nap.
You can't fall asleep.
We've been starving for a few days.
You'll die if you fall asleep.
We can be saved.
We can be saved!
Look!
It's just a rat.
Look.
That rat is big and fat.
It's impossible that it lives in the cave
as there's no food at all in here.
There's no way a rat that lives in this cave can be so big.
Do you mean...
it came in from the outside?
Yes. We must be really close to an exit.
I'm sure we're going to make it.
We'll find a way out
if we go the way where the rat came in.
You're so smart. That's it.
We can be saved.
Stand up. Hurry.
-Come on. -We can be saved.
Let's go.
Here.
Why are there so many boxes here?
"Shuangshi Armed Escort Company"?
So they were hidden here.
What do you mean?
Do you know the hero of Jiangnan, Jiang Biehe?
I've heard of him.
These are the stolen silver taels.
He planned a plot and stole this silver.
He must have thought that no one would find them
by hiding the stolen silver here.
He didn't expect that
it is fate that I would find the silver.
Look, that's the way out.
Let's go.
-There's someone there. -Quiet.
What is he doing here?
Why are those two people
staring at the meat on the rock in such a fascinating way?
Are they crazy?
As far as I know,
not only is that person not crazy,
he is actually very smart instead.
Do you know him?
It has been a long time.
He even has a prosthetic hand now.
Who could be so great to make that prosthetic hand?
What about the man who is sitting with his back facing us?
I think he is...
Xuanyuan Sanguang?
You win again.
You little brat, you've lost more than 800 thousand silver taels!
You've almost lost all the silver taels hidden in this cave!
I want to see what else you can wager!
Don't worry. I have many other things to bet.
Let me be clear.
I'm in the mood to gamble.
If you can't afford to bet,
you will have to wager the other arm of yours.
Don't worry.
As long as you're willing to gamble, I'll play along to your heart's content.
I'll hold you to that promise.
It's a deal!
You can't go back on your word. Let's continue!
Let's continue.
The person whose meat is taken away by rats first
will be the winner.
A bet like this is so uncommon.
It's quite a fair game.
No one can cheat.
What if a rat doesn't come?
What will they do?
They will have to keep waiting.
Let me tell you something.
The man who is sitting with his back to us has an unstoppable urge to gamble.
As long as he gets to gamble,
he doesn't mind sacrificing eating and sleeping for it.
Who is he?
He is known as the Evil Gambling Demon, Xuanyuan Sanguang.
Is he one of the Ten Great Villains?
Do you know who are the Ten Great Villains?
You're asking the right person.
No one knows them better than I do.
They are Du Sha the Bloody Hands,
Yin Jiuyou the Semi-Devil,
Tu Jiaojiao the Tomboy,
Haha'er the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing,
and Li Dazui the Cannibal.
The other villains do not stay in Wicked Canyon.
They are not as famous as those who stay in Wicked Canyon.
By the way, why do you ask?
I'm just curious.
I never knew there are so many weird people in the world.
This is boring.
Sir.
After so many games, our bet remains the same.
Aren't you bored?
No.
Even if the game goes on another five years, I won't get bored.
You may not be bored with this game, but I'm starting to feel bored.
What a brat.
Are you going to go back on your word?
I'll take your arm right now!
Sir, please stop talking about my arm.
I'm not saying I want to quit the game.
I just want to increase the bet.
Sure!
I'm the Evil Gambling Demon.
I've been gambling all my life. I love to go for huge bets.
Tell me.
How much do you want to wager?
You have a treasure which is worth 200 thousand silver taels.
And you just won another 800 thousand silver taels from me.
How about we bet a million silver taels in this game?
All or nothing?
-Yes! -I like it!
I like the way you think.
That's not right.
There's only a million silver taels in this cave.
And I just won 800 thousand of them.
Where are you going to find another million silver taels to wager?
How about I wager a person?
You brat.
You're not worth 800 thousand silver taels!
Although I'm not worth that much,
I do have someone who is worth 800 thousand silver taels.
Who is that?
What's wrong? Do you want to inspect the goods before the game?
Of course I have to determine the value!
Fine, please wait here for a moment.
I'll be back soon.
Hurry up.
Since when did Jiang Yulang
become an avid gambler?
I'm asking you,
what are you doing sneaking around here?
I...
I'm going to count to five!
You have to give me a satisfactory answer!
One, two, three!
Sir, how about we have a few bets?
If you win, I'll tell you what am I doing here.
However, if I win,
you have to let me go.
You really know me well.
I just love gambling.
Fine.
Sir.
Murong Jiu?
Take a look, sir.
She is indeed a beauty.
Too bad.
I'm not interested in women.
Send her back.
Sir, her worth
is not limited to her beauty but her status as well.
She can't be a princess, can she?
Although she is not a princess, she is not that different from one.
She is Ms. Murong Jiu from the Murong family.
She is the beloved daughter of the Murong Family.
Don't you think she is worth 800 thousand silver taels?
-Really? -Of course.
You brat. You're so filthy.
If you're satisfied, let us begin the game.
Okay, I'll play this game to decide the winner.
Don't take the bet!
My dear friend that was chained to me for half a month,
do you still remember me?
Xiaoyu'er!
If anyone else came out of nowhere, I'd be surprised.
However, even if you were to pop up from the ground,
I wouldn't be too shocked.
Xiaodai.
Xiaosha.
Why are you here?
He promised to bring me to Hei Zhizhu.
Can you remember Hei Zhizhu now?
I can't remember him clearly, but I do remember he has a silver thread.
I think he saved me before.
That's more than enough.
If Hei Zhizhu finds out about this, he will be really happy.
Is that true?
Xiaoyu'er, tell me.
Why can't I take the bet?
If you take the bet,
you're going to be tricked and lose the bet.
How would I be tricked by him?
Furthermore, it's an interesting and fair game.
No one can cheat in this game.
Why did you stop me from playing this game?
He is sitting right in front of me.
I've been starving for days, I can't fight him.
I don't dare to tell you.
He wouldn't dare.
If he dares to touch even a single hair of yours,
I'll tear out his bones piece by piece from his body!
All right, I feel at ease now.
Fine, tell us.
I'd like to know what kind of nonsense you're going to say.
Everyone knows rats are afraid of the light.
Everyone knows that.
What has that got to do with the game?
It seems you didn't notice it.
That candle was placed behind you just now.
Your body was blocking the light.
As such,
the meat in front of you was in the dark.
Rats only dare to eat the meat in the dark.
That's why you won the bet many times.
However, the candle is now placed behind Jiang Yulang.
Do you think any rat will eat the meat in front of you now?
You're right. Well done, Xiaoyu'er.
You're indeed the smartest person in the world.
I'm impressed.
You dirty little brat.
Now I see your trickery.
You purposely placed the candle behind you,
so that the meat in front of you will be in the shadows.
I was going to lose the game for sure.
That's why you requested that we increase the wager.
How dare you attempt to cheat in the game?
-No! It's just a misunderstanding! -Jiang Yulang.
Why are you still acting when I'm right here?
I can't stop you from misleading him.
What can I do?
The stolen silver is right here hidden in this cave.
I caught you together with the silver.
If you really want to explain yourself,
you should explain it to those innocent people you've killed.
Fine.
I guess I have nothing else to say at this stage.
Don't be scared, we're just playing a game.
Do you want to keep her alive?
Are you threatening me with Murong Jiu?
This girl has always wanted to kill me.
Why would I want to save her?
Furthermore, you know how powerful the Murong family is.
Just leave.
Many people will go after you after you captured Murong Jiu.
Who are you?
What are you all trying to do dressed like that?
Ms. Murong Jiu from Murong Residence and the Evil Gambling Demon are here.
If you're sensible enough, you would leave immediately.
We are only here to look for rats, not people.
If you stand still and don't move, we won't do anything to any of you.
Why are you catching rats?
My master loves rat meat.
He instructed us to look for rats.
However, all the rats in this area have escaped into this cave.
That is why we are here.
So all these rats in this cave are here because of you?
Who is your master?
You should stop asking questions on what you shouldn't know.
Do you know who the rat meat lover is?
If I'm not mistaken...
-I don't want to play this game anymore. -It's all right.
I have never seen so many rats in my life.
Look at how afraid you all are.
Not only are rats not scary, they are really delicious.
"Delicious"?
Don't you believe me?
How about I let you try one?
No, thank you.
As the saying goes,
"A gentleman won't take the love of others."
Since rat meat is so delicious, you can keep them all for yourselves.
If that's the case, we will not disturb you any longer.
Goodbye.
My friends, wait.
Are you leaving now?
As I said, we're just here for rats.
Don't you notice I have something that is more interesting than rats?
To us,
women are not as cute as rats.
How about a million silver taels?
"A million silver taels"? Where is it?
I dare not say it out loud in their presence.
Jiang Yulang.
I should have killed you just now.
You want to kill me?
It's not going to be that easy.
Handling rats can be troublesome,
but I'm not afraid of dealing with people.
Go!
Xuanyuan, are you not going to help me?
Xuanyuan Sanguang!
I believe you know who my master is.
Do you still dare to attack us?
Jiang Xiaoyu.
Don't you claim you're the smartest person in the world?
What's wrong? Are you out of ideas now?
I think you're going to be eaten by rats.
Hua Wuque!
Why are you here?
It's not fun now, let's go.
I saw these people when I was looking for you.
I followed them in secret and found this place.
Who are you? Why are you interfering in our matters?
Who is he?
Why don't you attack him and find out?
Even if you don't know me,
you should be able to tell which martial art is this.
Yihua Jade Swapping Palm?
He is from Yihua Palace!
We're no match for him. Our master will avenge us!
Hey.
They killed themselves.
WUYA CLAN
Wuya clan disciples
would rather kill themselves than be humiliated.
This is the rule of the Wuya Clan.
They poison themselves if they can't win a fight.
If they don't kill themselves,
they will die a more painful death when they return to Wuya Palace.
I'm surprised.
Although you're young, you know quite a lot.
Before I left Yihua Palace,
my aunt told me to be careful of two people.
One of them is Wei Wuya.
It seems these people are his disciples.
Wei Wuya?
