Dee, these are my orders

I hereby appoint you as our Imperial Commissioner

With absolute power over all other ranks

Take charge of the Sea Dragon incident

Your Majesy...

Dee has been in the capital for only ten days

He's not familiar with the place

I'm afraid that...

... he is incapable of discharging this mission

Yuchi, this is my order

You command the Da Lisi...

... and our elite militia

You are to follow the orders of Dee

Work with him to solve the mystery

I...

I obey!

Master Yuchi

My congratulations, Master Yuchi!

Mr Dee...

You're such a hypocrite...

... to congratulate me

Of course I should

You're about to achieve a great success

The traitor who's been hiding within the Da Lisi...

... will soon reveal his identity

All men of the Da Lisi, these are my orders!

Prepare your horses!

Be ready to move!

The cavalry guards will divide into eight teams

Join the special force

Searh for Dondoers in South City...

... and arrest them for questioning!

Yes, Sir!

Sir...

Since Master Yuchi signed the order to move the troops...

... no one has seen him

I know

Make sure everyone is ready

Yes, Sir!

Sir!

I've brought the joss stick you wanted

Now, just wait and watch

What's this all about?

Choosing the moment to move out

It's not the "right" moment yet

We'll move out when the joss stick ends

You believe in that stuff?

The Da Lisi has sealed the city to seek out Dondoers

The traitor needs to sneak out to warn them

The joss stick...

... gives him just enough time...

... to try to do so

BACKDOOR OF DA LISI

So you're the traitor

You guard the door every day

So you know all our movements and activities

But you've fallen into the trap I set for you

"Luring a Snake from its Hole"

I finally...

... lured you out!

I've been in the imperial court for many years

But I have no prospects here

I come from a poor family

The Dondoers promissed to make me a Duke

So I agreed to be their spy in the Da Lisi

It's my only chance of becoming a nobleman

Yuchi's horse went to the west

He must be going to the river pier

Go quickly to the Da Lisi

Tell them to move to the pier

Yes, Sir!

(Dondo) Quick, back off!

(Dondo) The Da Lisi is coming!

(Dondo) Quick, back off!

So the supremely skilled Dee...

... is afraid of water!

I'm not afraid of water

I just can't swim

That's the Sea Dragon which destroyed our warships

What kind of monster is it?

Sir

Sir

Are you all right?

Throw in fish to lure the monster back

Lure the monster back

Yes, Sir!

The monster has gone

It seems to have gone with the Dondoers

Judging by the direction they took...

... they must be hiding on an island

But looking at where our ships were attacked...

... it could be any one of five small islands

Which one is their hiding place?

There's one more clue

Mr Yuan

You said that Huo Yi trapped you on an island

Where was it?

Where was it?

I'm not sure

They're raising a giant sea monster there

One day...

One of the guards was neglecting his duties

So I opened the sluice gate...

... and released the monster

In the chaos, I got away

How long...

... did you swim for?

The current flows east

I followed it and swam as long as it takes a joss stick to burn

When I saw a light ahead...

... I swam towards it

That's the direction of the Fuyu Kingdom

The light was from their battleships

It makes sense!

The 'Sea Dragon' which sank our ships...

... is the monster that Huo Yi raised

Yuan Zhen set it free...

... and it happened to run into our navy

The duration of a joss stick...

Current flowing east...

On this evidence...

... Huo Yi must be hiding on Bat Island

The island is home to...

... thousands of bats

There are whirlpools offshore...

... which wreck unwary ships

A tiny population

It's a natural fortress

Just the hiding place for the Dondoers

They have this monster

If we head for Bat Island...

... how can we deal with the monster?

Sir...

Please order the navy to stand by

And buy up every fish in the markets

Dead or alive

Small fish to catch the big fish?

How will you catch it?

"Peacock Gallbladder"

"Strychnine Pellets"

Plus "Peacock Gallbladder"

Maybe a little "Monks-hood Root" too?

Why do you think it's your turn to speak?

What are they talking about?

Poisons

Let's not waste time

I'll start preparing them now

Why are you standing there?

Get to work!

You're not as clever as him, so work harder!

Four hours from now...

... we'll meet at the shipyard

Master Dee...

Ruiji...

Is she alright?

Isn't she here?

She went to find you at the execution ground...

... and didn't come back

Damn!

I should have guessed

Ruiji is descended from our enemies

The law says she must be arrested

As a bailiff...

... you must value the law above your own life

You won't beg for leniency, will you?

Your Majesty, you're right

I will not beg you to be lenient

I am here to place a bet

A bet?

Where do you think you are?

The Emperor suffered from the parasites...

... and so did many members of the Imperial court

Great Tang was nearly toppled

The conspiracy was led by Huo Yi

We must arrest him

Or there will be more chaos

I swear that...

... I need just one day...

... to arrest Huo Yi

I will bet my life on it...

... against Lady Ruiji's life

One day...

Aren't you a touch over-confident?

If your humble servant fails...,

... you will receive his head

But if the matter can be resolved in time...

I beg Your Majesty...

... to release Lady Ruiji

Your request is accepted

But do not forget...

In case of failure...

... you will forfeit your life

And the courtesan's head...

... will also hang a top the city's walls

Now...

... don't be scared

Remember my "Hold Your Breath" technique

Dee...

This is famous "Kun Steed" from Aizhou

Not fast on land...

... but matchless in water

It can help you to fight

Needless to say...

... from now on...

... you and I are even

Set sail!

To Bat Island!

Let's see what's on Huo Yi's mind!

Yes, Sir!

Our distance from Bat Island...

... is now twenty li

All ships...

Stop moving!

All ships...

Stop moving!

Sirs...

No movement in the water

It's so calm

Weird, though...

They must be on Bat Island

So they can see our approach

We can't risk disembarking now

I think we should retreat first

Really?

Retreat!

Order...

All ships to...

... turn and withdraw

All ships...

Turn and withdraw!

What's going on?

Feint the east and attack the west

You don't know that strategy?

Dee bet his own life for yours

What is your relationship with Dee?

Circumstances made us friends

Circumstances...

A young woman who looks like you do...

... can never be just a 'friend' with a man

You should know this very well

Since the two countries are at war...

... the law says...

... you should be arrested and interrogated

If you remain alive...

you'll harm Great Tang

Detain her!

I'm waiting for Dee to fail

When that happens...

... I'll see if your severed head...

... still draws thousands of admirers!
