Episode 13 An Open Fight with Wang Lun

Well

I may be the county magistrate

but to be fair

you're more talented and knowledgeable than me

Song Jiang, my buddy

it's just

that you're unlucky

Lord

Today, I'd like to have you

to analyze for me

whether I can arrest Chao Gai

In that case

shall we bet on it?

With what?

If we can't catch Chao Gai today

I'll give you 50 taels of silver

Fifty taels?

But if you catch him

Lord, you'll give me 50 taels of silver

All right, deal

Bring me the money

Go get him! Arrest Chao Gai

That way

Chao Gai, stop!

-Arrest him! -Don't let him get away

Over there

Take that!

Don't let him get away. Catch him

Hurry up. Where is he?

Where is that bastard?

Over there, go

Check over there

Hurry up, go

Hurry up, go

Brother, it's me, Lei Heng

Commander Lei

I won a piece

My Lord

What? We caught him?

My Lord

Chao Gai ran away during the chaos

Sergeant He went after them to the Shijie Village

I've never been lucky

I lost again today

Don't rush. Put it down

Didn't he say

that Sergeant He went after him?

How can you be so sure

that we can't catch Chao Gai?

It seems

that our game hasn't ended

It's your turn, buddy, go ahead

Fair. You're right

Chief, bad news

Jizhou sent officers to besiege us

They're already at the water margin

I've seen this coming

How many troops?

It's hard to tell. At least a thousand or two

Pass on my word. Guard the gate

Navies and archers, take position by the water

No delays

-Understood -Understood

Chief

there's nothing scary

about 1,000 troops

Each fort shall guard its gate

Archers, take position

Navies, board the boats

No delays

All Shijie villagers, listen up

Informs us where Chao Gai is

and you'll be rewarded

Those who hide him from us

will be executed

Daddy was born…

Daddy was born in the Shijie Village

It is in my nature to kill

First, I'll behead Sergeant He Tao

Then I'll kill the bastard officials

That is Ruan Xiao'er

AKA the Tai Sui Who Stands His Ground

He knows Chao Gai

Chao Gai is on the boat

Arrest him

Faster

Faster

Faster

Shoot

Those who can swim, go get him

Bring him to me, dead or alive

Something is wrong in there

Oh no!

Fire!

Go

Go back! Now!

Go back

Go back

Hurry, go back

Come on. Go back

Faster

Chief, look

Over there

Don't run away

Get to the shore and you'll be rewarded

Come on

Chief Wang

Chief Wang

Chief, now we can rest assured and go back

The officers and soldiers are all killed in the water

Do we know who killed them?

Go

Bastard, look who we are

Aren't you going to arrest Chao Gai?

I dare not

Do you even know me?

Answer him

Please spare my life

I was only following orders

It wasn't up to me

Sir, please forgive me

I would be exiled if I couldn't finish my task

I'll let you go today

Tell the prefect of Jizhou

that I'm the one who took away all the birthday tributes

If he wants to arrest me, come to Mount Liang

I dare not

Tell him that

Let alone the prefect of Jizhou

Even Grand Preceptor Cai

will be stabbed to death if he comes here

We'll keep your ears here as tokens

No!

Let's see who dares to come

Let's go

It's killing me

Our Lord didn't want to wake you up

from your sound sleep

He went to rest by himself

Did you catch Chief Chao?

He got away

what's more, Sergeant He lost his ears

and went back to Jizhou

Look, your lord wouldn't

accept my money

Take it as a gift

Thank you, Clerk Song

The game is not yet finished

Let's see who's going to win

Clerk Song

You have a visitor

Who is it?

Almost there

Almost there

Yamen of Yuncheng County

Clerk Song, I've been waiting for you for a long time

It's you

I've been waiting for your response

Once you give your consent

I'll take care of everything

Clerk Song, you are in a good mood today

I guess it's going to work

That woman is going to live

I guess I've accumulated some positive karma

Clerk Song

I've talked to Poxi the other day

She's already in love with you

Which Heavenly King Chao?

He's Chao Gai, Chief of the Dongxi Village

Yuncheng County

who is a master of martial arts

He's a generous man who loves

to make friends

He is a well-known hero

as Heavenly King Chao

He took the birthday tributes and killed the officers and soldiers

He led his men here to join us

That's great

They killed over 1,000 people?

How many of them are there?

Seven. No more, no less

Pass on my word

Step up security and patrol day and night

Understood

Open the fort gate

Understood

Chief Wang

I've heard so much about you, Mr. Chao

It's such an honor to have you here

I've heard about your righteous cause here

though I've never visited you before

The seven of us caused a lot of trouble today

and had nowhere to hide

Chief, we'd really appreciate your help

Don't mention it

Mr. Chao

your presence makes us feel honored

If you don't mind it

think of it as your home

Chief, that's exactly what we need

My brothers and I

are homeless right now

This way

-After you -After you

Juyi Hall

What happened on Yellow Soil Ridge

was really done by you?

Of course

Well done

Those 1,000 officers and soldiers who went after us

to the Shijie Village are all dead

Yeah

It is fate that has brought

all of us together here

I'd like to get drunk with you!

Coach Lin, no rush

It's not like they're here only for a short stay

Let me toast to you first, Mr. Chao

Here

Bottoms up

I've heard that as the coach of 800,000 imperial guards

you're an invincible man

It's such a pleasure to meet you today

Let me toast to you, Coach Lin

Cheers

I'm a reckless man without much education

Today I brought my brothers here

to be your subordinates, Chief

I'm flattered

I am nothing but a useless scholar

I'm only residing here

to enjoy myself

After you

All I care about is brotherhood

From now on, I'll be with my brothers day and night

That's how I truly enjoy myself

Yeah

Here, cheers

Here, this way

This way

Mr. Chao, this way

Terrific

Over there

This way

My brothers and I finally…

Get him up

…finally…

Take off his shoes

Come on. Let's go

Mr. Chao, rest a bit

…finally have a place to stay

Thanks to Chief Wang

now we can be together

forever

Liu Tang, am I right?

Harbor no ill intention against others

but never relax vigilance against evil-doers

I don't find them trustworthy

That's a bit overcautious

Mr. Chao is known to be a righteous man

He's here to join us wholeheartedly

You always say that we should make friends with righteous men

Isn't it great that Chao Gai and his men

have come to join us?

You find it great?

They stole the birthday tributes

and killed 1,000 officers and soldiers

Those are heinous crimes

If we let them stay here

they will bring us calamity

Xiao'er, Xiaoqi, where are you?

Mr. Chao

What can I do for you?

Where are my brothers?

Get them over here

They are resting in their separate rooms

Separate rooms?

Why are they resting in separate rooms?

Our chief arranged that

Xiao'er

Xiao'er, Xiaoqi

Xiao'er, Xiaoqi, where are you?

Xiao'er, Xiaowu

Mr. Chao

Please stop it

I'm right next door. At your service

Brother

I'm looking for my brother. Get out of my way

Bastard

We've never slept in separate rooms

You're up to something

Where's our brother?

Stop it

Mr. Chao, please pardon me

It's the order of our chief

Please go back to your rooms

I'm staying with my brother. I'm not leaving

Go tell your chief

Dead or alive

we're staying together!

Yeah

You're in Mount Liang

It's not any random place

Get lost

Go

Pardon us

They said they were here to join us

But look at his men

They're like animals

How do I rank them?

I don't mind ranking after Chao Gai

I agree

I've regarded you

as my bosom brothers ever since we came here

Lin Chong came some days ago

We still haven't become sworn brothers

Because he's unhappy

about ranking fourth

after you

But he can't do much because he's alone

If Chao Gai and his brothers

all want to rank ahead of you

I can't bear to see that

Chief, what do you think we should do?

We've worked so hard for this cause

It's such a pity

that we're giving it away to someone else

What?

Where does that come from?

Mount Liang is mine

We can't keep anyone

more powerful than me

I thought of this place as a shelter

I had no idea that Wang Lun would be so narrow-minded

We came in a group

I'm afraid he won't let us stay

It's not like we're taking over

Why is he scared?

I'll make things clear

Brother, don't go

He may ambush you

Sir

how can you think so lowly of him?

I know you're a righteous man

But never relax vigilance against evil-doers

I…

No

Brother

if that's the case

we should leave as soon as possible

not to be humiliated

Why should we leave?

Does he own Mount Liang?

I hate those despicable men the most

We might as well kill him tonight

Wait

how can we break the code of brotherhood?

Wouldn't

the entire world mock me?

What should we do? Stay or go?

We'll die if we leave

Mount Liang right now

Since there's no way out

no one can blame us for being ruthless

It's a piece of cake to kill those two bastards

Wang Lun alone is easy to kill

but Lin Chong used to be

the coach of the 800,000 imperial guards

He is not an ordinary man

And that man I beat up today

wouldn't let us off

Coach Lin?

I am here to pay you a visit

Coach Lin, come on in

Please sit down

You all seem tired

I'll let you rest

See you around

Duanjin Pavilion

Chief Wang is not feeling well today

So, we're here to keep you company

Mr. Chao, please

All of you here, cheers

Cheers

My brothers and I have been here for days

You've been treating us with wine and meat

but we haven't talked out our partnership

I feel quite disturbed

I'd like to have a formal talk with Chief Wang

Please pardon us

Chief Wang is a cautious man

It was the same with me when I first came

We're not in a rush

Don't worry

My brothers

cheers

Thank you for being hospitable

I am a short-tempered man

I really don't have the patience

Mr. Chao, excuse us

Chief told me to offer you the money

to show admiration for all of you

And it's also the traveling fee once you leave

Please accept it

What if we don't leave?

My brothers

I am a bit drunk

Since Chief Wang has a problem with it

we won't force him into anything

We've brought a lot of trouble to you these days

I'd like to meet Chief Wang in this pavilion one day

to show our gratitude

Bravo!

What a great spear!

Spectacular Lin's spear skills indeed!!

-Sir, you know the Lin's Spear? -Yeah

What a pity!

What do you mean?

You have such a good spear

but you can't kill corrupt officials and villains

You only wield it by yourself

Isn't that a pity?

Are you trying to tell me something?

I am here to say goodbye to you

Why?

We risked our lives and came to Mount Liang

with great ambition to make a cause with you

killing corrupt officials and doing justice to ourselves

However, they don't want us here

Does Mr. Chao have to leave?

He doesn't want to drive a wedge between you

He'd rather

cut off his own hands than fight with a hero like you

That's what I thought

It's just…

What is it?

He doesn't have to rush

But we have to leave

Otherwise, things would go wrong

sooner or later

Maybe I would

end up getting killed by your spear

Coach Lin

I hope one day you and I could

take over the world together

See you around

Sir

Sir

Coach Lin?

Look out for yourself

All right

What a loser chief

He's obviously hiding from us

He keeps postponing the meeting

and brushes us off with meat and wine

He's leaving us alone

to force us to leave

But we won't go

What now?

We've killed 1,000 officers and soldiers

You're afraid of Coach Lin

But I'm not

Lin Chong

may not take the side of Wang Lun

Wait

Coach Lin

Chief Wang

I can't sleep

May I have a few drinks with you?

I didn't expect you to be in the mood

Only you can understand my problems

Here

Cheers

I know

you're holding a grudge against me

With your capability

you can easily

be the chief

It's a shame that you can't be the chief

I've never wanted

to stay forever ever since I came

Sooner or later, you will take my place

Chief

I swear I didn't

come up here to take your place

Don't get me wrong

It's not like I'm preventing you from gaining power

It's just that my brothers may not agree

and it'll be bad for you

I'm really looking out for you in the long run

It will be an auspicious day tomorrow

I will set up a ceremony to make you

a sworn brother of mine

to tell everyone

that from now on

Coach Lin, you will rank second

Your commands shall be

considered as my commands

Here

Cheers

Chief

Bad news

They captured our man!

How dare they!

Chief, someone wants to see you

Tell him to go away

Chief

Chief, you must do me justice

Chief, pardon us

What happened?

This man eavesdrops on us outside our room

with a knife every night

I caught him last night

My brother sent me to ask you

what to do with him

How dare you!

What?

I treat you with wine and meat every day

And you repay me with betrayal

and capture my man

Do you intend to take over tomorrow?

Guards

Here

Arrest him

Despicable rat!

Lock him up

Go

Let go

Wang Lun dares to capture our brother

He must have made up his mind

to come after us

It'll take a toll on both sides

Why don't we burn this place

to get brother back?

I didn't start it

We're dead no matter what

We might as well die here together

Alright, guys

Let's just say we're going down the mountain

and get our brother back first

He can't keep him there

Brother, we can't leave

Just give me your consent

and I'll kill that despicable man now

Why would you be loyal

to such an unrighteous man?

Xiaoqi

Brother, our lives are at stake now

You must make up your mind

We're not leaving for real

Brother, rest assured

Coach Lin wouldn't come after us

By then…

What's going on?

Our chief is making Coach Lin his sworn brother

Duanjin Pavilion

Greetings, everyone

-Greetings -This way

-Please -sit

I've been busy with business these days

I prepared some wine for you as an apology

My brother Gongsun Sheng got drunk and offended you

the other day

We're here today to apologize on his behalf

Please kindly release him

We'll bid farewell to you

and go somewhere else

Thank you all for trusting me

and coming here

What a shame!

Our fort is nothing but a shallow "pond"

We can't accommodate so many "dragons"

I am truly sorry

that you have to leave

We really appreciate

your kindness, Chief

Our offer still stands

If you let us stay

we are willing

to be your pawns for a greater cause

with all our brothers here

If you don't mind it

please drink with me

It's not that I'm kicking you out

It's just that we're in a poor condition here

You'll definitely get hindered here

Neither of us would be happy about it

So, I dare not keep you here

Chief

let's cut to the chase

My six brothers and I

have nowhere to go

If you can keep us here

we don't mind the rankings at all

I am not a heartless man

As long as you agree to leave

I will give you whatever you ask for

I won't be stingy

This is a minor offering from me

Mr. Chao, please accept it

Don't forget me

once you gain power

I'm not bragging

but the treasure we've brought

can sustain Mount Liang for three years

Mr. Chao, please take it if you think of me as a friend

Since you don't want us here

we'll leave you alone then

Coach Lin, goodbye

Mr. Chao

this is a minor offering

Please accept it, guys

Lin Chong

Don't be rude

That's what you said when I first came

You despicable hypocrite!

Coach, stay calm

We'll just leave

not to drive a wedge between you

I won't argue with you because you're drunk

Du Qian, Song Wan, escort them

Chief, we're sorry. We apologize

Calm down

What are you doing?

Guards

Guards

Guards

I dare you to come forward!

Stop!

Coach Lin, let's talk

Don't get into a fight

Coach Lin

don't get tricked

You're a jealous bastard

who has no talent

How can you be the chief?

Don't kill him!

Why would we keep him around?

Brother

Chief

We are willing to follow your lead

Anyone who is not convinced will end up like Wang Lun

On your knees

We are willing to follow your lead

Mr. Chao, please be our chief

We pledge loyalty to you

However strong the guest might be

he should not overbear his host

Mr. Chao, please look at the big picture

Just go for it

Brother, come here

Brother, sit

Coach Lin

I truly admire your bravery and integrity

I am only doing this for the righteous cause

Brother

Please listen to Coach Lin

Brother

Since it's the righteous cause

I'll take Coach Lin's advice

All of us shall be loyal to each other

as real brothers

Brother

You know nothing apart from business

Next on Water Margin

and your buddies

I'll keep the letter

and one piece of gold

Mount Liang? Chao Gai?

What else do you want?

Make me your legal wife with a grand wedding

Whore, give me the pouch right now
