Kang Si Year 50, 4th Prince Wan Zing

who later became Emperor Yung Cheng...

just had one daughter.

But the princes kept fighting for succession

They used every resort

to achieve their aims.

Kang Si wanted the crown prince

to be smart.

Also, there was the question of his grandsons

Deciding the crown-prince was a long term issue.

If the crown prince was dead...

the grandson would become the emperor.

By a fortunate coincidence...

Chen Sai Gun had a son that night.

Pretending to have a look, Yung Cheng asked...

for the baby and made a swap.

When the maid took the baby out...

the son had become a daughter!

The son of Chen would later...

go on to become the Emperor Chien Lung

When this story unfolded...

Chien Lung had been on the throne for 18 years

One night...

Hung Hua Society Chief, Yu Wan-ting

along with No. 4 Chief Wen Tai-lai

sneaked into the palace

and wanted to discuss with Chien Lung.

After they left, for no apparent reason

Chien Lung issued out a decree...

ordering Chang Chao-chung to kill them.

Yu Wan-ting died from illness on the way

which left Wen Tai-lai...

to flee alone.

When he reached On Tong Inn...

Wu Tang's swordsman Lu Fei-Ching and

his fellow student Li Yuan-tzu passed by

accompanied his Dad to work...

in Hai Ning.

Moreover, Hung Hua Society's No. 14 incharge...

Yu Yu-tong followed.

With the help of Lu...

and Li...

Wen fought with Chang and was saved.

Then, Lu took them to Xian in person and

informed Hung Hua Society No. 9 Chief

And he arranged to seek shelter...

by Tieh Tan Mansion's Chou Chung-ying.

Chief...this way.

Chief, Wen Tai-lai has come.

You are finally here.

This is our Chief Chou.

They are Hung Hua Society's chiefs.

Hey there, Hero

How are you? Take a seat

I knew you had a mishap at Tri-road trench

I was supposed to rush there.

But later I heard that you had left

I kept wondering...

if you would be coming to my place !

I am honored with your gracious presence

Thank you so much.

We wanted to visit you earlier.

Being under suspicion, we feared implicating your mansion

Don't say that.

What our mansion has is brotherhood.

This place itself means nothing.

Chien-hsiung

Yes

Get Dr Chou to treat Mr Wen

Yes

Sham-Deng

Yes

Is Mr Wen's room...

Prepared?

It was already cleaned up.

Dad.

Come here.

This is my wife.

Madame Chou.

This is my only son Ying Chia.

Let's meet our visitors.

My respects to Uncle & Aunt

Very polite. Couldn't bring anything special for you

Take these pearls and put it on your cap.

Thank you.

Ying Chia.

I've told you if you receive gifts...

you should ask parents before accepting

But the pearls are really beautiful.

Master, it's terrible !

Young lady fought with people at the restaurant

See, this is the daughter you have taught !

Wen, stay here and rest for a couple of days.

After I finish business, I will be back.

Please...this way.

There are visitors.

Please be seated

Thank you.

Lu, you almost scared me to death !

Brother Zhou.

How are you?

Where have you been these years?

I heard from 12th Brother that you met Wen

Don't stop me

10th Brother.

Brother

3rd Brother.

What are you fighting for?

Come and meet Mr Lu.

It's you who informed 4th Brother.

Thank you.

Not at all.

His parents died shortly after he was born

Wen and his wife...

took care of him.

When he heard about what happened to Wen...

he wanted to rush there immediately.

Of course. This is what I should do.

But you should discuss with others.

This is 13th Brother Zong Si-gan.

Come and meet Mr Lu.

Mr Lu.

Incharge No. 13, a pleasure

You have met 12th Brother Sek Song Ying.

Mr Lu. Nice to meet you.

8th Brother, you haven't worn trousers.

Thank you

3rd Brother, you've news of 4th Brother?

You said you wanted to look for 4th Brother.

How come you're still here?

You go on. I will be along

Did you see we have guests?

He is Mr Lu who had the message for 4th Brother

Thank you.

He is 8th Brother Yang Seng Hip.

He is nice...

but always forgets to wear trousers.

No. 8 Chief.

Mr Lu.

7th Brother, come here.

Yes.

This is our 7th Brother Hu Tin Wang.

Nice to meet you.

You are the "Incredible Valiant".

Thank you.

7th Brother, you're the most wittiest

Please think of how to save 4th Brother.

No need to panic.

2nd Brother went to find Young Chief.

I heard he will arrive in a day or two

We have to wait for Young Chief.

We can't wait. Let's go first.

Who are you? Why have you come here?

Shouldn't it be me asking this question !

Why do you come here?

I warn you.

May I ask...

I am your ancestor.

Everyone, I apologize.

Who are you?

I'm Chen Chia-lo. May I ask who you are?

Young Chief?

Bullshit!

Chen is our Hung Hua Society's New Chief

Our 2nd, 5th and 6th Brother...

went to pick him up out of the pass.

If you're the Chief, why didn't you see him?

We are here.

Brothers.

Brothers

Apologise to the Young Chief!

He is really Young Chief?

2nd Brother, what is happening?

Why did you come back with Young Chief?

Because when we arrived at Xian...

we heard Mr Lu brought Wen here.

Hence we hurried to the restaurant

And we let the Young Chief go first.

I didn't expect a misunderstanding.

It's his fault.

I am apologizing to all of you.

It is all right.

I am Zhou Pan San.

No. 3 Chief in Hung Hua Society.

Please sit, Young Chief.

I will introduce you to every brother

And let you be familiar with each other.

I came back as my sworn father's will.

I will follow his wishes.

First rescue Wen and start anti-Ching campaign.

Wonder if I could be so humble as to...

sit here and receive respects !

Since Mr Lu brought the news of Wen

we should discuss it now...

about how to save Wen.

After that, I'll pay respects to you all

True, you've been here quite a while

I haven't asked you where 4th Brother is

In Tieh Tan Mansion

Open LID---

They refused to open the gate.

Break it.

Gosh... Wen.

What is it?

Chang Chao-chung brings the army here.

Where are you going?

I have to go...

and fight with them.

And I won't cause trouble to you.

You can't go.

Wait

Master is not here. You are badly hurt.

Besides they have hundreds of crack troops.

With Chang Chao-chung. What's happening?

How can our mansion face your society?

We have a cellar...

under the pavilion in the garden.

You three just stay there...

for time being

Remove the stone bench quickly

Lift it up.

Madame Wen, hurry.

Come on.

Go down quickly

Put them back at once!

We are asking...

for Wen Tai-lai

You are not that stupid.

I don't want to kill everyone here.

I, Chang Chao-chung doesn't...

desire enmity with Chou Chung-ying.

You should just let us...

bring the convicts back to palace.

I said I won't cause trouble to you.

Search!

Look at her.

Yes. Stay where you are!

Give me the telescope.

What is he looking at? What is this?

Kiddo, you want to look at it?

Take it.

Good!

Strange. How can this thing make...

things look bigger?

Is it fun?

Yes.

Come.

If you tell me

where they are hiding...

I will give this to you.

Really?

Be quiet. Really.

I can't. If I say it...

Dad will kill me.

How about I ask you...

if I am right, you just nod.

Living room, roof, guest rooms? No?

Your Dad's bedroom? Kitchen? No?

Then it's the garden.

The pavilion.

I didn't say.

Good. I give it to you.

Come on

Yes

Come with me

Search the pavilion...

and check if there is anything doubtful

Yes

Ying Chia.

Mom, I didn't tell.

Sir, there is nothing tricky.

14th Brother, leave with Madame.

I won't go.

You're beasts!

Hey, why didn't you do something?

Stay where you are!

Quiet, we've been doublecrossed

Brother, go now!

Yes

Madame, go.

No

Sorry for that.

Leave them. Come on.

Tai Lai, you can't leave me...

Tai Lai, where are you?

Madame.

Wonder why I didn't meet you before you married !

Tai Lai...

You...

I...

What did you do?

Madame, listen to me.

Madame.

Stop calling me Madame.

Madame

What are the four commandments in our Society?

I...

Say it!

He who surrenders shall die

He who betrays shall die

He who sells a friend shall die

And?

A fornicator shall meet death

Please kill me.

Why did you do such a thing?

Why did you?

You will never understand...

I've suffered because of you for years.

You've always treated me so well.

I have no parents.

You take care of me.

Taught me martial skills. When I'm sad...

You explain to me and defend me

I begin to fall in love with you.

But every time I think of you...

I consider myself as an animal.

I will cut my arm...

every time.

See how much I love you...

with the cuts.

I know I am silly but...

I haven't thought of abusing you.

Anyway, you won't believe me.

I finally voice out my feelings

Go.

I will not tell anyone.

However, I don't want to see you anymore

You hate me.

Where did Wen go?

I ask once again. Where did they go?

Who is the traitor?

I will kill him.

Shan Peng

You have never lied to me.

Tell me who betrayed them.

I will kill him now.

Master, I...

You must know.

It's your only son.

In order to face the world...

In order to face Hung Hua Society...

I must know who betrayed them.

If you don't tell, don't blame me for consequences

Speak UP

Master, it's him.

Kill him.

What?

Don't move.

Only Ching's officials have telescope.

Foreign gadgets... you...

Where did you get it?

I...

Ying Chia.

Keep away

Madam

Mom...

Forget about them. Tell me frankly.

Say it! I would beat you or scold you.

Speak UP

Chang Chao-chung gave it to me.

Take the ancestral tablets out.

Kneel.

Tell me, until now...

is there any unfinished matter?

I just want to give this to the cousin.

Give it to me. I will give it to her.

And?

Nothing

Make three kowtows to your ancestors.

Master...

Don't come near

Master, forgive young master.

Dad, what are they doing?

Son, I love you so much.

You are my only son.

Dad.

You are my only son.

Ying Chia.

Sister, what's wrong with you?

Dad said he would never beat me again.

Master.

My dear ancestors...

Please forgive me.

- Master -Dad

Madam

People say that, yourself, 4th and 14th

...Brother were in Tieh Tan Mansion.

Why are you here fainting all alone?

Tieh Tan Mansion betrayed us.

What?

What are you coming for?

Nothing. It's about Wen Tai-lai

Your family should've been beheaded...

for covering and aiding a convict

Luckily our Mr Wu appealed for you...

So...

You betrayed Mr Wen

I haven't squared with you yet.

You have already come.

Brother...

They are Hung Hua Society's people.

What?

Stop. Please listen to me first.

May I ask...

It's because of him that 4th Brother was killed

Hung Hua Society's people!

No. 11 Chief, you are wrong.

If you hadn't betrayed us...

who would have known about the pavilion?

YOU!

A mouth is for biting

A leg is for kicking

The hand grasps the braid since birth

Why are you kneeling before me?

We are not getting married.

Please all stop

Sir

Is it the legendary...

Hung Hua Society's New Chief?

Sir, I should've sought...

your audience

But owing to Wen's issue, our brothers...

had to break into your place.

Chou's money for betraying Wen

I've already given it to you

That Ching henchman...

who took Wen

What?

Wait

So they've only got a fictitious name

They really are in conspiracy with Ching court.

Who said that?

Otherwise...

who used hidden weapons to hurt Chief?

They are looking for trouble !

Then those three be handed over for verification

They are gone.

Of course

You conspired with them

Sir, no more nonsense with them

Kill them all

Right. Brothers

Burn up the mansion

Let me cope with this old fellow

Stop

Hung Hua Society can't do everything.

We Tieh Tan Mansion won't be bullied. Men!

Stop!

I know you will not listen to me.

Sir, what do you want?

We have only one purpose.

Please give us 4th Brother.

He was taken away by Eagle Claw.

What?

Who betrayed him?

It's my son.

Let's kill!

That means Tieh Tan Mansion...

betrayed 4th Brother.

Sir, what else are we waiting for?

Let's go and suppress

Mr Chou, this is your place.

As you admitted

it was done by people...

in Mansion

...please kindly take him out.

I'm not guilty

You can do whatever you want.

Even if you want to kill us all.

I already told them not to make a move.

- Father -Master

Though our Society is a small society...

we play fair and will not slaughter.

We don't want to be accused of...

outnumbering you, so

I will fight with you alone.

If I lose, starting from today...

Our people will never again pursue you...

as regards the matter of 4th Brother

If I Win...

please...

Hand over the traitor to us

What do you say?

All right. Let's begin.

Please forgive me.

You are still vigorous.

No wonder your mansion is so well-known.

Our mansion is no longer the same.//Please!

Please

Good!

What fist are you using, Chief?

Our chief learnt this in the outer...

frontier from a man in Heavenly Lake.

Blossom boxing?

- Father -Master

Father !

Excuse me. Please

Please

Please hand over your son.

He will not come out. You have to come.

You killed your own son?

What do you want?

MOW]!

He told Chang where Wen was...

because of this telescope.

The one in the coffin...

is the one who betrayed Wen...

and he also happens to be my only son.

Take him with you.

We have wrongfully accused you.

Please forgive us.

Chief...

What is the matter, Mr Lu?

You sent us to yamen to check.

Wu went back to report the news

Now Chang is sending troops...

to attack Tieh Tan Mansion

Forget it.

As it is The Mansion's doom is destined. Shan Peng

Yes

You take Madame and family to Xian...

and stay with Official Wu.

He'll arrange everything

Yes

Father, what about you?

Wen was taken away in Tieh Tan Mansion

We will follow the young chief

till Mr Wen is back safe and sound

Mr Chou

Sir, the troops are coming.

Don't waste time.

Please give out orders.

Hero Chou, obedience is better than being polite

We will never forget...

your favor and mansion's kindness.

Brothers.

Yes

Chang would take 4th Brother...

to Beijing.

5th, 6th, 7th Brothers and Monk...

you start off from northwest.

The other group will be led by 3rd brother

Mrs Wen , 7th brother

8th and 10th Brother, Mr Chou and daughter...

will start off from northeast for Hangchow

Why our ex-Chief suddenly told Chief

to come back and 4th Brother was caught?

Didn't the ex-Chief tell 2nd, 5th and...

Last time the ex-chief

wanted 2nd, 5th and...

6th Brothers to go to Beijing with him?

Suddenly one night...

he told me secretly...

that he and 4th Brother...

got things to discuss with Chien Lung.

This is about anti-Ching campaign.

They were prepared to go to the frontier

But Chief became critically ill on the way

He then ordered Priest Wu Chan

to take 5th and 6th Brothers...

and bring back Chief.

On the other hand

he ordered 4th Brother that...

he must tell the secret of Chien Lung...

to Chief in person.

It is crucial to restore Han's regime.

No one except Chief should know.

Therefore 4th Brother didn't tell me.

No wonder Chien Lung caught 4th Brother

He got scared that the secret will be revealed

But because of this...

4th Brother is safe now.

How are your injuries?

It's nothing.

Don't fuss over a minor injury

Chi Erh, you...

Oh yeah? How about letting me stab you then?

You dare to ? I don't think so.

Stop. We are now a family.

Let bygones be bygones. Get some sleep.

We have to start off early tomorrow.

You're running a high temperature

There's dew outside. You stay in the house.

Get some rest.

Father, I am starving.

Anything to eat?

You said you were not hungry.

There is no food around.

I have baked cakes.

Do you want some?

Did I say I want your cakes?

Baked cakes...

Thief!

You...

Where's the thief?

Someone has entered 7th brother's room

Father is here

Did you see it yourself?

Yes, I did

Go in at once then

What is it, Mr Chou?

Brothers

They said someone went into 7th Brother's room.

Right. Go in and see

Swordsman Hsu

What is it?

Someone went into your room?

No

I really saw someone going there.

It smelt like rouge powder

Oh yeah

Did you apply some rouge?

No, I haven't applied it for half a year

It's good that no one has come here

If there is a lady caught hiding in your bed...

she'll remain unmarried...

if people know of it.

What are you saying?

He already said no.

He'd know...

if someone's hiding, right?

You guys leave !

Wait

Why do you have three feet?

You...

Father

What is going on?

It is very simple.

Miss Chou is too shy...

to convey her love.

Tonight she came in secretly...

to propose to him

She wanted 7th Brother to marry her.

Mr Chou , we...

They were both naked in bed.

You are a man with conscience.

Though she is bad-tempered

and ugly...

I...

how can this ugly woman...

find a husband after tonight?

You...

3rd Brother, please do something

People will say...

Hung Hua Society has a rapist.

Well, Mr Chou

Let me be the matchmaker.

On behalf of 7th let me speak for her marriage.

What do you say?

What're you doing?

Who says I'd want to marry that kid?

You must

Who told you to be naked at night...

and stay in a man's bed?

He will marry you...

to save face for me.

That's the deal then.

I will decide for 7th Brother.

I accept the honor

Oh, not at all

Father !

What?

Weren't you hungry just then?

You are better off than me...

to have the pies from 7th brother

IFS you!

Do you have any red-flowered cloth?

Are you sure?

Yes, what color?

Anti-Ching

Okay, follow me.

May I ask...

Hangchow's Ma Shan-chun.

So you're divisional chief Mr. Ma.

Yes

Please

You have all arrived.

3rd brother

So you all came early

Mr Lu

We arrived three days ago.

How come you arrived so late?

Because...

Which of us will tell him?

You are the elder Brother. You speak.

We had a happy event on the way.

What happy event?

Wedding of 7th Brother and Ms. Chou.

Congratulations !

Thank you

I don't deserve it

Don't stand on ceremony

Where's the young Chief?

He has to host the event.

Chief didn't know when you will come.

Tomorrow is his mother's death anniversary

He took 6th Bro to his home in Hai Ning.

People bring the egret...

Wine flags float in the village...

I just heard your song. Is it a new one?

This is my new song.

Thanks for appreciation. Feel free to comment.

I don't deserve it.

May I ask what your good name is?

My name is Tung Fang Erh.

And you?

My name is Lu Ka Shing.

You must be a music expert.

Can you play one song for me?

I...

Go ahead. Please sit down

I will play then.

Have you been to the outer frontier?

Just returned from there as a matter of fact

How do you know?

Your song is rough and extensive...

with a touch of grassland.

It's like appreciating sword when drunk

...blowing bugle in dreams...

with a sense of wars.

It's like hiding a big troop.

But you are not like an official.

I don't quite understand.

I am a scholar, without a stable home.

I don't want to be an official.

Most officials are good for nothing.

They only know how to bully people.

You share most of the scholars' view.

Let's not talk about the Ching court.

The people you take are top fighters.

What society do you belong to?

Show some of your tactics to Mr Lu

Yes.

The birds out there are too loud.

I'll silence them by taking a shot

Hold it.

Kids don't know how to fight.

Let me match you

You want to show off.

Be careful. Right at your head...

Brushing and Smashing

One foot on, Extricating

Brother Lu, they...

Forget it , brothers

Sorry for the of fence

How can we?

Stop.

I didn't think you and your friend

...were so good at Martial skills!

Why didn't you help the Ching court

get a high-rank and glorify the ancestors?

I just told you.

The good and able men suffer.

Thank you for your advice.

I have to go. See you.

See you someday.

Goodbye

Go.

Yes

Who is he?

Strange. Who will come to their graves?

And earlier than me !

It's me

Mr. Tung Fang.

Why did you come at night?

Today is my late mother's birthday.

I'm here specially to visit her.

Your surname is not Lu.

You are Chen Sai Gun's son.

Yes. And you?

Why did you come to my parent's grave?

To tell you frankly

I am a court official.

Your father did favors to Ching court.

They sent me to Hangchow to his grave.

Well

You're a premier's descendant

Why didn't you work for Ching court?

Why be a wanderer?

Is there any reason?

We met twice today.

I believe it is fate.

But you are an official.

I am a wanderer.

People have different views. Forget it.

But I feel you have something unsolved.

I have worked at the court for a long time.

Just tell me. Maybe I can help you.

You have hawk-eyes. Good!

However, this unsolved matter...

can only be solved...

by the Emperor

Is it true? Okay then.

I have a jade pendant.

If you have any problem...

just take it to see the Emperor.

He will help you.

Although I know nothing about jade...

I believe this is a treasure.

I am humble without anything precious...

Okay

I will give you this folding fan.

The fan contains The Gold-Thread Song.

Better not listen to the slander.

Let your mind rest.

The poet was rather a bit arrogant

So he had a short life.

Life is like a dream.

No matter what your achievement is.

People die when the time comes.

Why bother to care?

It's getting cold. You should go.

Thanks for visiting my mother's grave.

Don't mention it.

The friends on the roof, please come down

Your master is leaving.

Sir

You knew they were here already.

Not only I knew they were here...

if I am right...

I know we will meet in the future.

What? Wen is detained in the yamen.

Right. We have been to the yamen.

The court may send out an imperial envoy

Imperial envoy?

Your Highness.

Arise

Yes

Chang Chao-chung.

Present

Bring Wen Tai-lai.

Yes, your Highness.

He is our Highness.

On your knees

You may step down.

Yes

The other day you were here with the ex-Chief

We were supposed to discuss a big issue.

Unfortunately he...

If he wasn't dead

he would have been detained as well.

I heard you're the most honest person...

in Hung Hua Society. You never lie.

I have one thing to ask you.

If you answer me frankly...

I can release you immediately.

You'll release me? Go ahead and say it.

After the Chief left the palace,

did he tell you what he planned to tell me?

Regarding?

About my life.

No

Did he say...

why he wanted to see me?

He only said Hung Hua Society is lacking funds.

He wanted 3 million silver ingots from you.

Is that it?

Right.

But I couldn't imagine that

I would be detained by you...

without lending the money.

If this is only a misunderstanding...

I will release you after investigation.

Your Highness.

Take him back.

Why are there no guards?

They're all protecting Emperor Chien Lung

Why is there a cat meowing?

Brother Wong, food is coming.

Yes, anything good tonight?

Bring some more. Quick

Brother Wen

4th Brother.

Sir

Godfather said...

you know Chien Lung's secret.

It's about the anti-Ching campaign

You have to tell me in person.

What is it...

It's...

I will keep watching for you.

This secret is important.

Only the late chief and I know of it

Listen carefully.

Go ahead

Chien Lung is actually a Han

He is your Brother.

What?

Yes, Yung Cheng had a daughter then.

He swapped with your Dad.

Your Dad wrote down what happened...

in a letter.

And gave it to your Heavenly Lake Master

Don't worry about rescuing me

You should find Master and get evidence

and force Chien Lung to join the anti-Ching cause

Or his identity will be disclosed.

No wonder Chien Lung wanted to catch you

He's afraid you'll reveal his identity.

This chain was made by Jouchow monks.

It is hard to break.

Chief, go.

Don't ruin state affairs for my sake

Go now before people come.

Go now

We will save you.

Sir

This sword is a magical weapon.

One of Wu Tang's three treasures.

Sir

Go at once

Strange.

Who is this little guy in black?

You are...

You don't need to know who I am.

I won't tell you either.

Thanks for tonight. Bye.

4th Brother is really in yamen?

Yes, I saw him.

When saving him,

Chang suddenly appeared

We should get into yamen now.

There are many top fighters in there.

We should wait and see.

Why?

Chien Lung has really arrived Hangchow.

Really?

Anyway...

we should rescue 4th Brother.

Come on

Wait

9th Brother, we must do so.

But we have to think of a perfect way.

7th brother

You're the best counsellor...

in our society

You take responsibility

If Chien Lung is in there...

there is no way we can get in.

We must wait for Chien Lung...

to leave the palace.

He'll be accompanied by top fighters.

We should be prepared first.

Ask Ma Sin-kwan to dig a tunnel which...

leads to the fountain in yamen garden.

We'd also ask 3rd Bro and Mr Lu to...

prepare explosives...

on the way to Yamen.

On the day of our assault...

Ma will take his men, disguised...

as wine hawkers in front of Yamen.

Mr Chou and 9th...

brother will walk from South Gate

disguised as cigarette hawkers.

They will meet in front of yamen.

When you get there,

Don't let others pass...

and start fighting

You pour oil on the wood and burn it.

Sir, two groups of vendors

had a fight outside

The gate is on fire.

Go and put it out.

Quick

How strange

Such coincidence !

9th Brother comes.

Follow me.

Yes

Quick.

Strange. Why aren't there guards today?

4th Brother.

You have all come.

Something's wrong

There are people upstairs.

Let me tackle them

Madame

We are surrounded.

Leave fast

No

Lo Ping, go.

Since the young chief came,

many traps have been set

Don't let the brothers get stuck here.

How about you?

Forget about me.

Leave with the Chief.

Tai Lai

Go now, madam

Chief, our plan was foiled

Yes, we've fallen into their trap

It seems there are many top fighters.

No matter what, we should go!

Come on

Chief, we finally meet again.

Priest Wu Chen's swordsmanship...

speaks for itself.

Your sword is also a gem of Wu Tang's treasure

Chief, they are getting more and more.

Even the emperor's lackeys are here

We'd go first and think of other way.

Brothers, retreat!

Madame, go.

We should retreat to the tower.

Go upstairs.

Yes

Chief, it is clear.

Come and see

This is special dynamite

I put it...

under and around the tower

Chief, look. All dynamite

Your Excellency

Hung Hua Society's men are inside?

Right. I told you...

when I placed the explosives.

When Hung Hua Society's men come...

they will be dead meat.

The people outside are from Hung Hua Society.

I knew they are distracting us.

Come on, bring fire torches !

Yes

Don't push. This is an iron gate.

This is what we called a concrete wall.

Unless there is someone opening the gate

otherwise, there is no way you can go out.

That monk is...

No idea

Chief, how does it look?

Chang Chao-chung is behind

You cut off the rear

Yes

Retreat !

Everyone get ready.

Yes! Quick...

Unveil his face. He hurts badly.

14th Brother.

14th Brother.

Priest

Pour the medicine into his mouth.

Okay

And apply this on his wound.

You are...

Yuan-tzu.

Master

She is my student, Li Yuan-tzu.

Miss Li

You introduced me to see 4th Bro.

That's me.

Did you know...

what became of 14th Brother ?

He didn't tell me.

How do you know he stayed there?

One night...

A man in white came to my home.

Then I followed him.

Later I knew he is 14th Brother

He became a monk

a few months ago.

It's strange

Why did he choose this temple?

Chief,

what about the monk in white?

He is 14th Brother.

What? 14th Brother?

Yes

Where is...

He was medicated.

Pulse is normal. He is now stable.

He will recover with a few days rest.

Thanks.

What?

We'd rather go back to Hangchow.

See how Mr Chou and the men are doing

We'll come for him tomorrow

Should we ask someone...

to take care of him?

No, I will stay.

Thank you.

Oh, it's all right

We'll take your leave then

Okay

Let's go.

Coming

Hey, you're all right!

No. I woke up after medication

But I was afraid they will pester me

So I pretended to remain in a coma.

What is it?

Why are you avoiding them?

Everyone has a secret.

But I can't tell you.

Here is my letter.

Please help me take it to Chief.

Are you leaving?

You saved me at the inn...

and we met again in the temple.

You helped me send the messages.

I know what you are thinking.

But it is destiny.

I am now a monk.

Thanks for your great kindness.

It's almost dawn. I should leave. Bye.

To Chief and all brothers :

I have sinned

So I became a monk to repent.

Hope you will do your best...

to accomplish the noble cause

I will pray before Buddha.

And I have one unfulfilled wish.

I can't witness 4th Brother's return

If 4th Brother is saved one day,

please tell the Buddha.

I can die without regrets.

Sincerely, Yu Yu-tong

Turned into a monk!

We should find him now.

Miss Li

Did he tell you the reason?

No, but I can see he has a lot to think.

Chief, he is thinking about...

our anti-Ching campaign,

which means he misses us.

He will be back some day.

Yes, let's discuss...

how to save 4th Bro.

It'll be difficult if he arrives Beijing

Chief

I talked to 7th Bro the whole night.

He thought of a good way.

What Way?

Every autumn, all courtesans in Hangchow will

compete for Top Candidate of the Boudoir

More beauties will join this year.

The people in yamen said...

Chien Lung will be there.

Chief Ma said...

the most beautiful one is called Yu Ju-yi

She is a lady with integrity.

Let's start from her.

Let's ask Chou Qi who hasn't fought with...

Chang Chao-chung disguised as a maid,

and have 8th Brother pose as the nanny.

Two of them follow Yu Ju-yi.

How does it sound?

Cool

Ladies and gentlemen,

Contest for Top Candidate of the Boudoir

...starts now.

Like last year, performances begin.

Whoever gets the largest...

number of jewels, and riches

shall be this year's queen.

Please set the lights a little dimmer.

Performances begin.

The 1st beauty is Pien Wen-lien

The second one is Wu Hsien-chuan

The third one is Li Shang-ting

She'll play a flute solo

Ladies and gentlemen

The last one to perform is...

peerless beauty Yu Ju-yi

She'll play the koto

and recite a poem.

Cities and towns. Doors and trees.

Reins will lead us the way.

Two squabs on the roof.

Spring breeze and mist color the window.

Ladies are gone and bridge is long.

Some serve tea and some sell flowers.

Walk through the alley.

Follow the road.

Give her a million taels of gold

Thank you, Master.

Lotus root, lily

Powdery scent pervades the house

Tomorrow flowers will bloom in full

Not tomorrow, I'll already come tonight

You have won.

Please come out

Be careful

Thank you

Look!

Sir, want to come in for a drink.

I'll come.

Your...

Your what?

Mr Wang, you...

I'll go in

Mr Wang

Mr Wang

Do you need assistance?

Damn! Get out!

Yes

Your...

Your what?

Come back tomorrow morning.

Go and find Official Cheung.

Yes

Quick

Please have a drink

Sir, let me propose a toast to you first

Thank you for your gift

Good...

Have a little more, Sir

You are persuasive.

Here.

Official Cheung.

Where is His Highness?

He is inside.

What should we do?

Give orders

to have this place surrounded!

Yes. Go there at once

You should rest first...

and pick up His Highness in the morning

- Lo and Ling -Yes

Escort the governor back

Yes

Come out, hurry up

You stay here. You go to the roof.

Why didn't you come to bed?

I am taking off the clothes.

Come here. Let me help you.

Yes

Good. You are more desperate than me.

Coming...

Don't say a word.

Easy, don't make any noise

Go

Get going. Go down

Let's go

Hurry UP

Mom, have you packed?

I put everything in the truck.

Hung Hua Society wants to thank you.

You are welcome.

- See you later. -We'll meet again

Let's go

Don't any of you sleep. Keep searching

Nothing wrong tonight?

Yes

Where is Cheung?

Inside

How about His Highness?

Still inside

Your Highness, it's getting late.

Your Highness...

Your Highness...

Search this house

Search everywhere.

Your Highness...

Your Highness...

What do you want?

Do you know what the punishment will be?

Hung Hua Society! What?

What do you want to do?

This is not your chair.

What?

I am the Emperor. I can't take a seat?

You just can't sit on our Chief's chair.

I won't take it then

Come back. I haven't eaten anything...

since last night

What do you want?

I'm starving !

The emperor would like to eat

Quick. Come on.

We are coming.

It's you again?

I served you yesterday. Here I come.

Sir

Come...The food is here

Wait

First make sure it isn't poisoned

Shelled shrimps,

sour fish

Fried meatballs,

beggar's chicken

Who cooked these dishes?

They were specially prepared by our cook.

Why didn't you tell the...

imperial chef to do that?

The Emperor can't eat these.

It's okay.

These are my favorites.

No, no WHY

If you feel unwell...

I can't bear the responsibilities.

I am not afraid.

3rd brother, we haven't...

tested the food.

It's easy. Just use the silver needle.

Luckily, we have tested them.

Otherwise you'd have been dead !

Take them away.

You can drink the wine. It's okay

It's Daughter's Red.

Drink some.

No.

Then I will enjoy myself.

5th brother. Let's drink.

Good! Come on

- Really good -Nice

Smell it to see if it's good

Yes

Brothers, the rice is ready

Let's eat

- Coming -Coming

Since you are not hungry

we should eat first.

But you can wait until sunrise.

When will you get Chang An-kuan?

You'd better wait for the royal chef.

It may take 7 to 8 days.

Then I have to wait 7-8 days ?

Mr, where are you going?

Why are you here?

I was here.

You are...

Yes, I'm Hung Hua Society's Chen Chia-lo

You are Emperor Chien Lung

Why have you...

brought me here for?

I want to use you to save 4th Brother.

I want to persuade you to join the anti-Ching cause

Why should I do that?

Don't pretend.

You are of Han origin

I felt strange...

when I visited my parent's grave.

You are really my elder brother.

Who said so?

Last winter...

my godfather Yu Wan-ting and 4th Brother

came into the palace and gave you the letter.

It said you've a vermilion birthmark...

on your left hip.

He hoped you could help Hung Hua Society

to carry out anti-Ching campaign.

But you didn't believe him.

You asked them to get the evidence.

But you imprisoned 4th Brother...

in order not to let the secret out.

As a Han,

why be the tartars' emperor

to oppress Huang Ti's children and subjects?

Instead why not use your talents...

and build up the eternal dynasty?

Brother,

life is short

If the achievement fades out after death...

...why not follow our ancestors...

They are the real heroes.

But the power of Ching court...

Don't worry.

If you have the will...

I promise every cavalryman...

will raise up and revolt.

I am really a Han, is it?

In that case, you release 4th Bro first

Some day

I'll show you father's proof

If it turns out to be true

you've to restore the Han dynasty...

and be an enlightened emperor.

Now...

please write out an edict

to release 4th Brother

We will exchange with Wen

at the West Lake

Yes

Are you all right?

Yes

Sire,

you remember what I said last night ?

When you are back, come and see me.

Okay

This way, your Highness.

See you later.

Goodbye

Please

Thank you for taking 4th Brother back.

Brother, please

Wait

I heard Hung Hua Society's Chiefs...

have excellent skills.

I ask some top fighters...

who have seldom been to the mainland.

They would like to try

Hung Hua Society Chiefs' skill.

Can you give them...

a chance?

How would you want it?

Three rounds. First round -fist fight.

Then light skills and weapons. Alright?

Good.

-13th brother -Yes

...please get the boat out.

Yes

4th Brother.

7th Brother, is everything ready?

Sure

I expected that

NOW:

Eagle Claws clan chief Chou Hu

and Tiger Claws clan's Chou Lung

Brother, sorry for the trouble

No problem, chief

Don't come close

I don't intend to fight with you.

I come only to challenge Chen Chia-lo.

4th and 7th Brother, come up.

May I know who that person is?

Why did he designate me to fight?

He said...

The Blossom Fists of Chief

are invincible

but I don't believe such a thing.

Lung is a distant relative of Fuk.

He practices Iron Fist.

Chen's bones may not be...

harder than his fists.

Good skills. Please.

Please forgive me.

I will take care of these two.

Okay

5th brother, let's us handle them.

Okay

Brothers, go!

Excellent swordplay. Let me handle

Official Cheung,

what else would you like...

to match now?

We still have 3 representatives.

No problem.

Chief, it's Wit Sword in his hand.

Thank you

Mr Cheung, you said fights with...

strikes and kicks.

You didn't say there'd be hidden weapons.

Chief, it's your turn.

Sir.

Mr Cheung, do you want this sword?

Well, come on!

Yes! Quick...

Brothers, come up to the altar.

You're powerful

And since you're too powerful,

I won't let you go today

We can't starve here.

7th brother

Are we ready to leave?

Sure.

Good

-13th brother -Yes

Can we start off?

Yes.

Mr Cheung

You said there're many troops outside.

Can we move by sea?

You...

Excuse us. Goodbye

Brothers

Yes

- Start -Yes

Don't move...hold it !

Sire, we'll meet again

Indeed, we shall meet again someday.
