I've finally found it!

It's real magic...

He's a real sorcerer!

Welcome VIP.

Mr. Chang, I'm glad that you've come.

Madam Hua, he is Peking's

greatest magician.

Treat him well!

If you wish to talk, let's meet in private.

Well, leave us alone.

You are quite a ladies' man.

Cut it out. Give me back the scroll

I'll return it once I'm done.

It's useless without my guidance.

What's your relationship with Liu Wan-yao?

He's my master...

Just as I thought

I've not finished yet!

If you smile again

I'll make your face...

larger than this!

He's a rogue pupil of my master.

A traitor, too?

What do you want?

To learn the 7 Wonders

I only teach my pupils.

You're not one.

Make me your pupil.

Cut this out, just pay me

I'll pay any price. Please sit.

Good. One more condition

check our karmic connection.

How?

What's your zodiac?

Dog.

No.

You're a...

"turtle"

as you never leave your shell behind.

Can I borrow it.

Here.

"Joining forces can break metal."

Looks like you've passed the test.

Master.

Together we can shake the world.

You're conspiring with

the Japanese behind Lei!

How do you know?

Your shell is useless

I can use mine to predict

the day for action!

I can help under one condition.

Tell me, master

I want to be the Imperial Sage.

You're one of "us"?

My real name is...

"Gesaerdu Duoduoshan"

I suppose we're on the same side.

Yes...

I'll definitely recommend my master!

Also, you must have figured out...

My other motive in approaching Lei.

He killed my father and I want vengeance

I want to kill that

bastard as well...

When will you teach me?

No rush.

You need to fast for 49 days.

Wait for a moonless night

with northwesterly winds.

Your power will be heightened

I'll do as you say, Master.

You're too important to me

I promise to protect you day and night.

To keep you safe from Lei.

Don't you trust me?

I just want you to be safe, Master!

Great!

Let's have a toast.

Bring the wine!

Leave now.

It'll be too late!

Leave me alone.

- Let me go!

- Listen to me!

Let me go.

Mr. Chang, Li Yi went

to rescue his comrades.

You should leave now.

Mr. Chang, come with us.

We must leave

let's go!

Remember to come again

I will!

Sure, see you.

How about you?

The show must go on

right?

Yes.

Remember...

Expect the worse situation.

Don't panic when it happens.

Just overcome it!

From now on

I'm relying on you.

Madam, the general is here.

Both of you, get out!

Yes.

Yin, did you know?

Chang planned to kidnap me!

What does he really want?

Even Butler Liu is behaving strangely.

He became Chang's pupil all of a sudden.

He should respect to his master then.

Why is he spying on Chang?

What the hell is going on?

I don't understand it.

It's driving me crazy!

Chang Hsien is my fianc.

He did everything for me.

Can you tell Butler Liu not to hurt him?

If you save him

then I'm yours.

You want a baby, don't you?

What's the point of having a baby...

when his mother...

doesn't love me?

I've known...

from the way you gazed at him at the party

if only you would look

at me the same way...

I'd be satisfied for life

I've act a fool my whole life

I'm very convincing

that I fooled everyone.

Someone who plays fool

to please you...

can't be a bad person, right?

Bully

I'm sorry

if I'd misjudged you.

But you can't blame me

because I didn't cause any of this.

Fine!

Will you kill him?

Will you?

Chang Hsien!

Come out now.

Where're you?

What's the fuss?

You little pimp!

This one is for Yin!

She's the best woman I've ever met.

You break her heart!

You stole my woman.

Don't be so self-righteous!

Why didn't say earlier?

What makes you think I'll kill you?

I won't let you go?

You really mean it?

What?

Don't play dumb.

You said if I'd come clean with you.

You would let us go.

Screw you.

Stop playing around with words...

Are you giving her back to me?

Never!

Go to hell.

Stop it.

What did you find out?

Liu conspired with Japanese to

restore Ching dynasty.

All those filmmakers are spies.

Once they succeed, they'll kill you.

He doesn't have the nerve...

You know he hids something under his hat?

Under the hat?

I must find out what it is!

Help!

I'll kill you!

Don't run!

General.

Aren't you suppose to be on set today?

Bastard!

I thought that you were just a homeless

eunuch-turned-street-performer

I pitied you and made you a soldier.

Now you sleeping with my wife?

I can forgive you for keeping your pigtail.

But how can you justify

that "thing" in your pants!

If I don't kill you today

I'm not Bully Lei!

Don't shoot!!

Please don't kill him.

We were childhood lovers

I sang and he performed magic acts.

We planned to get married

when the time is right.

But the war separated us.

When I found him he's

already in your army...

and I was already your wife

I didn't dare to tell the truth.

Do us a favor...

Kill us both.

Take your man and leave.

- Kill him!

- If I ever see him again

I'll castrate him myself!

Get out!

You let him go?

He's already gone.

You're really letting him off?

Chang Hsien.

Why so cold-blooded?

Didn't you hear

that they were childhood lovers

separated by war.

Compare to you.

Their story is more...

heartbreaking and worthy of sympathy.

You're suggesting that...

he won't repay your kindness with malice

that he won't conspire against you

that he'll stop restoring

the Ching dynasty.

Is that so?

Remorse?

A little.

Go after him now!

No problem

I'll raid Mitearai tonight

with the other generals...

- and then...

- It'll be too late! Act now!

My friends enjoys nightlife

I bet they are still sleeping.

Come.

To get a massage?

Good idea!

The night's still young.

Let's go

I'll show you a new bathhouse in Peking!

Why don't you call your friends first?

Tell them to prepare.

No hurry! Get a massage first!

Taga Samurais

Butler Liu has been exposed.

Time for us to take charge!

Bully has uncovered our plan.

The future of the empire is at stake.

We can't wait.

Take action now.

Long live the empire!

Madam 7th!

Yin!

Let's go!

Stay!

Don't move!

He's holding many families hostage!

Here they come!

Lotus seed, Raisin are all here.

Attack!

Mr. Chang, protect the general

I'll fight!

Let's go

you'd wanted a massage.

It was your idea!

Stop it! Where are we going?

- This way!

- That way!

Straight ahead!

Be careful!

Bully!

None of our business now.

Time to rescue the master.

We can't leave him here!

Yin!

Meet me at the tavern!

Chang Hsien.

- Bully!

- Where's Chang Hsien?

He went to the tavern.

Lei Bully.

You're dead!

Yin.

What are you doing?

Yin, ignore him.

You still rage with jealousy.

Once you've letdown a woman

with any magic.
