Secret Service of the Imperial Court, also known as Police Pool of Blood, is a 1984 Hong Kong wuxia film produced by the Shaw Brothers Studio and starring Bryan Leung.

Things work out fine, until a message is sent to the village ordering the clan to kill Zhao Bu Fa or face execution.

They meet up with Zhao's brother, who reveals that his execution was fake, it was just to show the Brocade Guards what would happen to them if they disobey an order.

The Jinyi troupe brings Bu Qun's head to show Wu Yi, who is saddened and says that he does not actually want his son to die.

In a review for Hong Kong Cinemagic, David-Olivier Vidouze praised the film as a whole, but argued that despite containing the basic characteristics of martial arts films, the action scenes' fast pace makes them the weakest part of Secret Service Of The Imperial Court.

He argued that Secret Service Of The Imperial Court was one of the last great achievements of the Shaw Brothers Studio.

[3] Tatu Piispanen argued in Elitisti that Secret Service of the Imperial Court was the last absolutely successful martial arts film made by the Shaw Brothers, who closed in 1986, and he went on to say that it was one of the best of the new wave of Wuxia of the 1980s.
