hwpI was orphaned at an early age
I had no name,
so people called me Nameless
Being a nobody,
I studied swordsmanship
After 10 years of practice
I acquired a unique skill
The King of Qin has summoned me
My deeds have astonished the Kingdom
By order of His Majesty
we have brought the mighty warrior
Sky, Flying Snow and Broken Sword
the three assassins from Zhao
have sought His Majestys life
for years
His Majesty has known no peace
To the astonishment of all
a mighty warrior of Qin
has smashed them
His Majesty can finally sleep at night!
We rejoice for our King!
This warrior sent from Heaven
has exterminated the assassins
Summon the warrior!
Remain paces from His Majesty
Or you will be executed.
Never forget that
No one is allowed
within paces of me
Do you know why?
To guard against assassins
Yes. Thats why I am confined
in this armor
You have removed a great peril for me
How should I reward you?
My service was for Qin, not for a reward
Achievements must be rewarded
Skys silver spear...
wounded many of my brave warriors
Announce my edict!
By order of His Majesty
he who kills Sky
will receive gold and land
and be allowed to drink
within paces of His Majesty
I am informed youre a citizen of Qin
I am a Prefect from Leng Meng County
A County Prefect over square miles!
Surely the lowest-ranking official in Qin
How did you defeat such opponents?
I took them on one by one
Tell me the details
Does Your Majesty know
Flying Snow and Broken Sword were lovers?
Yes, I do
And that they hadnt spoken
for three years?
For three years? Why?
Flying Snow had an affair with Sky
Broken Sword never forgave her
Why havent I heard this before?
I went to great lengths to uncover it
To divide Flying Snow and Broken Sword
I first needed to eliminate Sky
I have an idea of what you planned
Your Majesty is wise
What did you use to defeat Sky?
The sword
I must arrest criminals in my county
On the fifth day of the sixth month
Sky attended a chess house
I had learnt he enjoyed playing chess
and listening to music there
So, the seven masters of Qin Palace
We are here to arrest you!
Identify yourself by showing your spear
Halt!
What can a minor official do?
This is my territory
So?
You are on the Kings most wanted list
I am placing you under arrest
Old man, please play one more tune
Martial arts and music are different
but they share the same principle
Both stress attaining a supreme state
Sky and I faced each other
for a long time
Neither of us moved
We fought the battle in our minds
How swift thy sword!
I thought I knew everything
about my Kingdom
I didnt know that Leng Meng County
held a talent like yours
Broken Sword
Flying Snow
By order of His Majesty!
Flying Snow and Broken Sword
have teamed up for assassination
He who kills either of them
will receive gold and land
and be allowed to drink
within paces of His Majesty
Three years ago, Flying Snow
stormed the palace with Broken Sword
elite troops couldnt stop them
Ive since emptied the palace
so assassins cannot hide
Was your sword swifter
than theirs combined?
No
How did you do it, then?
Disguised as a citizen of Zhao
I sought them in the Kingdom of Zhao
I learned they were hiding
in a calligraphy school
under the names Highcliff and Springbrook
Rumor had it
the Qin army would attack that day
Most of the townspeople had fled
Only the schools students remained
Why have you come at such a time?
Who are you?
Im from Yi County
in the Kingdom of Zhao
My fathers dying wish
was for one of your scrolls
I fear this may be our schools last day
Which calligrapher do you seek?
I respectfully request Master Highcliff
Highcliff was Broken Sword
Legend said his skill as a swordsman
was rooted in his calligraphy
So I had my concerns
I needed to find out if it was true
What do you want written?
"Sword."
You are fond of the sword?
It was my fathers dying wish
What size scroll?
Eight feet
For that size I will need red ink
My master has asked me
to borrow some red ink
My master wants to borrow some red ink
Did you hear me, Master Springbrook?
Master Highcliff wants to borrow red ink
Tell him to come himself
Could I have some red ink?
The character "sword"
was still being written
when Your Majestys troops
arrived at the city gates
Draw!
Your Majestys army is invincible
not only because it is brave
but also because of its archery
with a greater range than any other army
The Qin archers are like artillery
intimidating the enemy
Hail! Hail! Hail!
Please remember
their arrows might destroy our town
and topple our Kingdom
but they can never
obliterate our culture
Today
you will learn the essence of our culture
Hail! Hail! Hail!
Those Zhao people didnt flee?
They drew strength from their calligraphy
What was so difficult about "sword"?
There are different ways to write it
I asked Broken Sword
for a th way
Both calligraphy and swordplay
rely on ones strength and spirit
The th style would reveal
the essence of his swordsmanship
How odd to write it in ways
It makes the written language
impossible to comprehend
