Go ahead, Governor Yu.

2 feet 9 inches long.
:11:26
1 inch wide.
:11:28
The handle is 1 inch deep,
2.6 inches wide.
:11:32

:11:38
You can tell the design
:11:40
dates back
to before the Chin era.
:11:43
Engraved with a technique lost
by the time of the Han Dynasty.
:11:46
Your knowledge is remarkable,
Sir Te.
:11:50
A sword by itself rules nothing.
:11:53
It comes alive
only through skillful manipulation.
:11:56
I see your point.
Please continue.
:11:59
The lmperial Court
isn't the problem.
:12:02
With royalty and officials
everywhere,
:12:06
the Royal Guard
keeps security tight.
:12:11
But Peking is not like the West.
:12:13
Here, you'll find
all sorts of characters.
:12:17
Proceed with caution
in your quest for law and order.
:12:20
Don't depend only on the court.
:12:23
Contacts
in the Giang Hu underworld
:12:26
can ensure your position.
:12:33
Be strong yet supple.
:12:35
This is the way to rule.
