The movie is fast-paced.
Through the oral accounts of Nanxiang King and others, the background of the "Tianjuan" on the silk was quickly clarified: this person was a first-class assassin who was famous in the martial arts world twenty years ago. Before each assassination, he would send a letter to the target, stating that he would come to take the target's life on a certain day.
If Tianjuan takes the life of the chosen person, he will leave a sachet at the scene. If the chosen person is not killed by the appointed time, Tianjuan will spare that person and never set foot in the county town where that person resides again.
However, Tian Juan's martial arts skills are extremely high, and his abilities are unpredictable. To date, only two people have escaped his clutches.
One of them spent over a decade in constant fear, eventually dying from shock. The other is still alive, but has gone into seclusion and hasn't appeared in the martial arts world for many years.
After committing the horrific massacre of the Xiao family, Tianjuan disappeared from the martial arts world. More than a decade has passed since then.
Everyone assumed that Tianjuan had committed too many murders and had retired from the criminal life. Or perhaps he was dead.
Young heroes grow old in the martial world. Even the once invincible Tianjuan will die. This is quite normal.
Who would have thought that after so many years, the Prince of Nanxiang would receive a letter of invitation from Tianjuan?
The plot is starting to get tense.
The room was surrounded by the trusted veterans of the Prince of Nanxiang, creating a tense and murderous atmosphere.
The Prince of Nanxiang paced anxiously in the room. He was clad in armor, with a soft steel collar around his neck to prevent his throat from being slit, and a black iron mask covering his face. He was armed to the teeth. His steps made a clanging sound.
Lady Du, wife of the King of Nanxiang, leans on her sword, her eyes blazing with fury.
The hundreds of concubines, singers, and musicians of the Prince of Nanxiang's mansion were placed under house arrest in their own rooms and kept under strict guard.
The scene was extremely solemn and dignified, with a heavy sense of oppression and gravity filling the screen.
The veterans' grim eyes, the tinkling of bells as the Prince of Nanxiang paced, the concubines' weeping, the servants' pleas for mercy... the drumbeats of the music interspersed throughout all of this, making the rhythm increasingly urgent.
Xiao Fengque hasn't even appeared yet, but Sun Xiaoxiao has already forgotten to eat several times while watching.
The day after receiving Tianjuan's invitation, the Prince of Nanxiang issued a three-day order to pursue Tianjuan's soul.
If anyone can kill Tianjuan within three days and prevent the assassination, the King of Nanxiang is willing to give him half of his wealth.
If no one captures Tian Juan within three days, and the Prince of Nanxiang ultimately dies at Tian Juan's hands, then the Prince of Nanxiang's mansion is willing to offer a reward of 100,000 taels of silver as a revenge reward for the Prince of Nanxiang to buy Tian Juan's head!
The region of Nanxiang has always been prosperous, and the King of Nanxiang has ruled Nanjun for many years, accumulating immeasurable wealth. How much is half of his fortune?
Hearing the news, the heroes of the martial arts world sprang into action, like vultures smelling blood, rushing towards the Prince of Nanxiang's mansion!
Hearing the commotion, the hunchbacked old man, who was drinking tea, leaned on his huge peach wood cane, his eyes as sharp as cold blades.
The unassuming village woman who slaughtered pigs saw a pigeon flying in the sky. With a leap, she soared several meters into the air. Moments after she disappeared, the pig, groaning on the chopping board, began to bleed from its neck, and its head suddenly fell to the ground!
The two deformed heroes, who looked exactly alike, wore eerie smiles. Suddenly, the younger brother leaped onto the older brother's neck, and the two of them ran away together.
The young swordsman in white, who was sitting on the rooftop drinking heartily, suddenly reached out and grabbed a small stone that had been thrown at him. When he unfolded the cloth covering the stone, he saw that the rooftop had vanished in an instant, leaving only the wine jug still gleaming in the moonlight...
Countless shots flashed by rapidly, eventually piecing together a multi-grid image on the screen. Various heroes, eccentrics, and unconventional warriors, some on horseback, some on foot, and some in carriages, rushed towards the Prince of Nanxiang's mansion!
The quality of this one... seems to be very high.
Sun Xiaoxiao has watched all of "Xiao Feng Que" from the very first part. Even including "Tian Ji Lou", this part has the best visuals, pacing, and overall quality.
Sure enough, the finale was made with more care than the other episodes?
Xiaoxiao's dad swallowed a mouthful of rice and asked in confusion, "Why don't I remember this place?"
"Let's change it." Xiaoxiao's mother put a piece of meat on Sun Xiaoxiao's plate.
At the magnificent and imposing mansion of the Prince of Nanxiang, people from all walks of life gathered at the gate. At this time, a day had passed since the bounty was issued.
"Why won't you let us in?" a burly-looking man said angrily. "Didn't the Prince of Nanxiang want someone to protect him?"
The guard said expressionlessly, "You are all welcome to use your own methods to enter the palace."
"What kind of logic is this!" the man roared. "Is this gate for dogs, not for people to enter?"
"His Highness said that Tian Juan can enter and leave the palace as if it were his own backyard. If you and your entourage can't even get into the Southern Prince's residence, then there's no point in fighting with Tian Juan." The guard remained indifferent.
