[The Legend of Heroes]

[Hot Blooded] [Adapted from The Legend of the Condor Heroes]

[Episode 22]

Kang, where are you taking me?

It's right ahead.

Nian Ci.

These three are elders from the Beggars' Gang.

Elder Jian, Elder Peng and Elder Liang, respectively.

It's an honour to Met you, elders.

No need to be so courteous, Miss Mu.

I heard our chief had mentored you.

That should mean he accepted you as one of the Beggars.

Not to mention our relationship with Young Master Yang.

You need not be so formal with us.

Your relationship?

I've decided to join the Beggars' Gang.

Really?

Are you not willing, Miss Mu?

Young Master Yang is a heroic youth.

His willingness to join the Beggars' Gang

is surely fortuitous for us.

We hope you wouldn't disapprove, Miss Mu.

Why would I disapprove?

The Beggars' Gang is the world's greatest sect.

Moreover, I'm indebted to Qi Gong for his guidance thus far.

I'm more than happy as it is

that you're so welcoming of Kang,

let alone disapprove.

From today onward,

I will realise my dreams and ambitions

together with the Beggars' Gang.

I won't disappoint you nor make you worry again.

I'm glad you've come to your senses.

Elders, moving forward. Please teach Kang well.

That's for sure.

Today, with the three elders and fellow beggars as my witnesses,

I'd like to complete a matter I've been wanting to do.

Nian Ci.

I know this journey hasn't been easy for you.

No matter what happened, you've always been there for me.

From today on,

it's my turn to protect you.

I've owed you too much in this life.

So will you let me

stay with you to clear my debt?

Okay.

Elders, the Beggars' Convention is happening tonight.

It is better to do it today than to wait for a day.

So, would it be okay for me to marry Nian Ci

on this auspicious day?

- Okay. - Okay.

- Father. - Kang'er.

How did it go?

The Book of Wumu's location

is found within this painting.

This is...

I got this painting from Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

These few words probably speaks of the Book's actual location.

Iron Palm Peak?

So it's located at Chief Qiu's Iron Palm Peak.

That would really simplify the matter.

Kang'er, you accomplished another big contribution.

For your kingdom, I will do everything I can.

My good boy.

Now, there is another important matter I wish to entrust you.

What is it?

The Beggars' Gang has always opposed me in the north.

If I move my army to the south,

the Gang will surely follow suit,

killing my men and burning my stocks.

You don't know how frustrated I am.

I haven't been able to overcome their pressure.

If the beggars move away from south,

does that mean our southern expedition would proceed more smoothly?

A son knows his father's thoughts the best.

After tonight, I will be the Beggars' Gang's new chief.

I will give out the order.

But I'm new to the role and still lack support.

It might be hard to convince them.

Don't worry. I will send backup.

Thank you, Father.

Where is Ke'er?

Mr Ouyang.

Greetings, Mr Ouyang.

What brings you here today, Mr Ouyang?

Your Highness, where is my Ke'er?

Young Master Ouyang?

I went to look for the Book of Wumu

and left Ke'er in your care.

How could you not know where he is?

We didn't hear anything from you after you left.

I thought you went looking for Young Master Ouyang.

When I arrived at Niu Village,

Ke'er was already missing.

Then maybe Young Master Ouyang had left Niu Village earlier.

Impossible.

The secret code me and my nephew

used to communicate also disappeared.

It's likely he had been murdered.

After I left that day,

I headed to Iron Palm Sect.

I really have no idea where Young Master Ouyang went.

You failed to protect my Ke'er.

So why should I let you live?

It was Guo Jing!

I saw it with my own eyes at Qujia Tavern that day.

It was Guo Jing who killed Young Master Ouyang.

Kang'er.

Young Master Ouyang flirted with Huang Rong and that made Guo Jing mad.

While Young Master Ouyang's guard was down, he slayed him.

If you dare lie to me, I'd make you regret being alive.

If I lied,

then let me die by your poison.

It's my fault.

I couldn't beat Guo Jing.

I could only watch as Young Master Ouyang was...

He was...

He was...

Wait, Mr Ouyang!

Guo Jing and Huang Rong are in my hands.

I got this Beggars' Gang token from Huang Rong.

My plan is to kill Guo Jing and Huang Rong

here on Xuanyuan Terrace at midnight

for what they did to Ouyang Ke.

But I have one request.

Please accept, Mr Ouyang.

What happened to your nephew

made me realise

that an unskilled person wanting to survive in the martial world

will only be at the mercy of others.

I am about to take over as the Chief of the Beggars' Gang.

Yet, my abilities are still very much lacking.

I've admired you for a long time, Mr Ouyang.

I hope you'd accept me as your disciple so I could learn from you

and unify the gang.

If you're willing to take Kang'er as a disciple,

that means the Beggars' Gang

and White Camel Manor are one family.

We, father and son, will give our all

to make your esteemed manor the most powerful entity.

Master, please accept this bow from your disciple.

I swear to avenge your nephew's death.

Looks like you two had no trouble sleeping.

Elder Peng, Jing and I were Qi Gong's disciples after all.

Which means, we're of the same rank.

You tied us up without cause.

Aren't you afraid of crossing Qi Gong?

You traitors.

How dare you still speak of our late chief?

Tonight, at the Beggars' Convention,

we will kill you both

in order to comfort his soul in heaven.

You think we'll believe anything you say, you old crook?

Shut it.

[Double Happiness]

It's not time yet.

Why are you here so early?

On the night of marriage,

the couple are only considered married after the groom removes the bride's veil.

Nian Ci, I can't wait any longer.

Go and attend the convention without worry.

Official business comes first.

I'll wait for you.

Okay.

After the Beggars' Convention ends,

I'll come back.

Go on.

[Beggars' Gang Square]

My dear fellows.

Calamity has fallen on Beggars' Gang.

The old Chief Hong

had fallen into a trap at Lin'an Prefecture.

What's happened to Chief Hong?

Chief Hong

has gone to heaven.

Who killed Chief Hong?

We will avenge Chief Hong!

- Avenge Chief Hong! - Avenge Chief Hong!

Elder Peng.

You said the chief died.

Did anyone see it?

If the chief was still alive,

who would dare to curse him?

The person who saw the chief passing on

is here today.

Who is it?

Please, Young Master Yang.

Greetings, Brothers.

I am Yang Kang.

I saw it with my own eyes.

The lord of Peach Blossom Island, Eastern Heretic, Huang Yao Shi,

together with his daughter, Huang Rong, and son-in-law, Guo Jing,

killed Chief Hong.

Miss Huang and Guo Jing are Chief Hong's disciples.

Why would they kill their master?

Huang Rong and Guo Jing eloped for love.

Huang Yao Shi blamed Qi Gong for it.

He went all out, using that as an excuse.

It was a drawn-out fight, with neither side having an edge.

Unexpectedly, Guo Jing stabbed Qi Gong in the back

in order to please Old Heretic Huang,

killing Chief Hong.

That's nonsense!

Chief Hong and Mr Huang are long-time friends.

They wouldn't go at each other's throats over such a small matter.

What if Huang Yao Shi had wanted get rid of his opponent

to gain an advantage

in the Duel on Mount Hua?

Elder Lu.

Even if you don't believe him, you should believe the gang's token.

If the chief hadn't been willing, who could've gotten the staff from him?

Since Chief Hong gave the staff to Young Master Yang,

the meaning should be quite clear.

He must have decided to appoint Young Master Kang

to be the next chief.

Fellows.

There are two important matters at hand.

First, we will obey the late chief's last wish

and appoint a new chief.

Second, we will discuss on how to avenge

the late chief's death!

Appoint a new chief!

Avenge Chief Hong's death!

Appoint a new chief!

Avenge Chief Hong's death!

Appoint a new chief!

Avenge Chief Hong's death!

Fellows!

Appoint a new chief!

Listen to me!

When Chief Hong was alive,

he had wanted to appoint Elder Lu as the chief.

Today,

an outsider suddenly wants to take over the role.

I think Elder Lu should be the next chief.

- Elder Lu! - Elder Lu!

Elder Lu!

Control the men of your Dirty Clothes Faction.

Isn't the Beggars' Convention meant for discussion?

You...

My brothers of Dirty Clothes Faction.

In terms of moral conduct, martial prowess, and popularity,

Elder Lu

is the most suitable candidate to become the chief.

However, the chief's token is present.

Also, we should follow Chief Hong's last wish.

If anyone has any doubt,

you may come up to take a look.

Recently, Young Master Yang has been wielding the staff,

summoning hundreds to Yuezhou City.

I took it as just hearsay and paid no attention.

But I didn't expect

Young Master Yang to have the nerve to show up here.

I guess I should take the opportunity to find out for myself.

Well...

Since this is Chief Hong's last wish,

I dare not disobey.

I, Lu You Jiao,

will accept Young Master Yang

as the 19th Chief of Beggars' Gang.

Since Elder Lu has no objection,

neither do the three of us.

Elders, I am lacking in knowledge,

with nothing to show.

I dare not take on this huge responsibility.

Since it was Chief Hong's last instruction,

you need not be modest.

The brothers

will support you in carrying out the gang's affairs.

You need not worry.

Young Master Yang!

Young Master Yang as the chief!

It will be fine!

Young Master Yang,

I hope you won't disappoint Chief Hong

and our brothers' good intention.

I cannot refuse everyone's kindness.

If that's the case,

I shall oblige.

Brothers!

Let's welcome Young Master Yang

to perform the inauguration ceremony.

Step up to Xuanyuan Terrace!

[Xuanyuan Terrace]

Don't be offended, Chief Yang.

This has always been the gang's tradition.

When a new chief is appointed,

the members will spit on the chief.

It's because a beggar begs for food

and is ridiculed by others.

As the leader of the beggars,

you need to be the first to be humiliated by the gang.

I see.

Chief Yang.

I hope you don't mind.

Not at all.

Now that I'm a member of the gang,

I will abide by the gang's rules.

This is the gang's 19th chief, Chief Yang!

Chief Yang!

Chief Yang!

Chief Yang!

Chief Yang!

Chief Yang!

Chief Yang!

Although the culprit who killed Chief Hong

has yet to be executed,

I have captured the two accomplices.

Bring them here!

Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill!

These two tricked and killed their master.

They committed a heinous crime.

Tonight, I shall kill these two traitors.

May Chief Hong's soul be soothed in heaven.

I suppose there's some kind of misunderstanding.

Right. Chief, if I may speak.

I met the two of them in Baoying.

They are two young heroes who are chivalrous and righteous.

I'm willing to vouch for them with my life.

The late chief's death

couldn't have had anything to do with them.

If anything, it should be the elders who should speak up.

You're in no position to talk out loud.

Chief,

this is a grave matter concerning the late chief.

I implore you to find out what happened.

Find out what happened!

Find out what happened!

Find out what happened!

Find out what happened!

Lu You Jiao!

Find out what happened!

You said you accepted him as the new chief.

But why are you going against the chief's orders?

- Find out what happened! - Find out what happened!

- Find out what happened! - Find out what happened!

Since the members of Dirty Clothes Faction still have doubts,

I will set the record straight

to clear any suspicion.

When I ask you a question,

you need not answer me.

Just nod your head if it's true.

Shake your head if it's not.

If you dare to lie,

then do not blame me for being ruthless.

This girl is Huang Yao Shi's daughter.

Am I right?

Boy, you better answer the chief's question.

This girl is Huang Yao Shi's daughter.

Right?

You wish to marry Huang Yao Shi's daughter,

but he is not willing to give her to you.

Am I right?

Chief Hong was set up and got seriously injured.

And you two were right there with him,

am I right?

Kill him! Kill him!

Kill him! Kill him!

These two scoundrels have pleaded guilty.

So let us give them a swift end.

Kill! Kill!

- Carry out the punishment. - Kill!

Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill!

Carry out the punishment!

Look!

What is that?

Fellow elders, what was that about?

An important guest is here.

Who?

Iron Palm Gang.

Chief,

the Iron Palm Gang is a top sect in Chuanxiang.

Since their chief has come to visit,

we have to be a good host.

Chief, as for these two crooks,

we can deal with them later.

Fine.

Welcome, Chief Qiu.

I heard

that Chief Hong has passed away.

That's right.

There's one less hero in the world.

We didn't have the chance to compete.

What a pity.

Chief Qiu.

Allow me to introduce to you.

This is the new chief we have just chosen today.

A young hero.

Congratulations to the Beggars' Gang.

I've long heard of your great name.

Now that I've had the privilege to Met you,

the reputation of Iron Palm Water Skimmer is indeed well-deserved.

I'm curious to know why you came today, Chief Qiu?

My gang and the Beggars' Gang have been fighting

over our turfs.

I heard that you would be inaugurated tonight,

and so I took this opportunity

to present this big gift as an apology.

At the same time,

I'd like to ask about an important matter.

Chief Qiu.

This is a very generous gift.

I'm afraid we're undeserving of it.

I said I'm making use of this opportunity.

Have you forgotten?

The Sixth King of Jin asked me to deliver this.

What is that supposed to mean?

Right.

Refuse it.

Don't worry. I will send backup.

The important task you mentioned.

Is it also an order from His Highness?

The Sixth King previously mentioned to me.

He said,

the north is barren and the people are poor.

It's hard to make a name for yourself.

He's hoping...

His Highness hopes that I'd help him cross Yangtze River and head south?

You're very perceptive.

The northern region is cold and barren.

It cannot compare to the prosperity of the south.

The Beggars's Gang could find better rest in the south

and become the envy of others.

Chief Qiu and His Highness's thoughtful advice...

is exactly what I had in mind.

The gang's disciples are poor.

The winter in the north is unforgiving.

If we go to the south,

we will not have to suffer as much.

Sounds like

you have agreed to lead the Beggars's Gang

across Yangtze River,

and relinquish the north?

Chief,

please reconsider.

Chief Hong was known as Northern Beggar.

It's a known fact. How could we give up our northern roots so easily?

Moreover, our gang is about loyalty and bravery.

We've opposed the Jins for decades.

We must not accept this gift from our enemy.

Much less crossing Yangtze River.

Elder Lu.

The right to decide rests with the chief,

not you.

Fellow elders,

what are your opinions?

If you've decided, we shall oblige.

If that's the case,

the first day of the eighth month,

we will move south.

We're moving to the south?

Go south?

But this is our home.

You wish to move and cross Yangtze River?

Well I, Lu You Jiao, am not moving!

Lu You Jiao!

Are you trying to betray our chief?

You could cut me into pieces,

but I wouldn't betray the chief.

But even more so, I wouldn't dare betray

the teachings of our ancestors.

The Beggars' Gang numbers a few millions,

with members all over the world.

How could we be controlled by the Jins?

You're disobeying the chief's orders.

I think you're trying to split the gang up

because you failed to become the chief.

Lu You Jiao, if you're going to revolt,

you'll have to first ask if the disciples behind me are willing.

No, we're not!

The new chief just got appointed

and he's already colluded with the Jins.

The gang's foundation is being shaken.

Don't be misled, everyone!

The Beggar's Gang I am a part of,

has a duty to kill the enemy

and eliminate harm for the people

since its inception.

Who are you people doing it for?

Fellows.

Chief Qiu made the trip here today

for the sake of strengthening my gang's foundation.

I know it's hard to accept the move to the south right now.

But rest assured.

- So long as I'm here... - You!

Our great rivers and mountains

will not fall into the hands of the enemies!

If you're the chief,

I'm the first to oppose it!

- You... - All the disciples of Beggars' Gang

would rather die than become traitors!

We won't become traitors!

We won't become traitors!

We won't become traitors!

We won't become traitors!

We won't become traitors!

Why is the change of the seven stars

so similar to the Quanzhen Sect's formation?

Rong'er, I've got it.

What did you mean, Jing?

I went over the Seven Masters of Quanzhen's

Tiangang Beidou Formation

and noticed that it shared the same concept as the Nine Yin True Sutra.

Thus, I used the method from the Sutra

to combine the powers of the seven masters.

I'm surprised by how powerful it is.

That's great, Jing.

Now, will you accept or not?

Just kill me.

All right.

Guo, don't underestimate the opponent.

Chief Qiu.

You can't let this brat get cocky in your presence.

This lad is strong.

The Duel on Mount Hua is right around the corner.

There's no need to waste my energy here.

- Rong'er. - Jing.

Chief Qiu!

Help me kill this brat!

I will reward you handsomely.

After dealing with the Mongolian envoy,

I'm hoping you could head to Yuezhou

to give support to my son, Kang'er.

Of course.

Thank you, Chief Qiu.

I shall make a move.

Little brother.

How was my acting?

Were you utterly impressed?

Your expressions looked fake and exaggerated.

No way.

It was clearly my confidence oozing out.

Never mind.

The date of the Duel on Mount Hua is nearing.

I have to focus on training.

I prefer not to be disturbed.

As for the assassination of the Mongolian envoy,

I'd leave it to you, brother.

Really?

That's great.

I presume that a fight with the Beggars' Gang is inevitable.

I will handle that myself.

I have a different opinion.

Qiu Qian Zhang, Qiu Qian Ren I think I am able to deal

with the Beggars' Gang on my own.

You'll ruin my grand plan.

Do you know why?

Why?

Because a piece of garbage

will remain as such.

Right.

What to do and what not to do,

I can decide for myself.

Who are you to tell me?

Tonight is your inauguration, Chief Yang.

Shouldn't you prove your mettle?

I rather not steal the thunder.

My fellow elders.

Countless heroes and good men are gathered here.

How could you let the brat ridicule us?

Don't worry, Chief.

We will not have him belittle the Beggars' Gang.

Fellow disciples, heed my order!

Erect Strong Wall Formation!

The young lad has learned

the full set of Chief Hong's techniques.

We can't let these pair of crooks escape today.

Kill them and avenge Chief Hong's death!

Give me a hand, Jing.

I'll show you what true Beggars' Gang martial arts is.

That's Unfettered Stroll.

It's the orthodox Unfettered Stroll.

Wanyan Kang.

You thought you could become the Beggars' Gang's chief?

My fellow brothers!

Chief Hong has not gone to heaven.

It was all a lie spun by this little Jin prince.

He set everything up to gain power.

Nonsense!

My brothers.

Do not be fooled by the enemy.

You said Qi Gong was collectively attacked

while duelling a month ago.

But I was with Qi Gong a month ago.

He is alive and kicking.

He would eat at least three Beggar's Chicken in a day.

His appetite is good, his health is even better.

Qi Gong is still alive.

The chief said to eliminate the crooks.

What are you people standing around for?

We are the respected Beggars' Gang.

We will not be fooled by this little girl's lies.

Take a good look.

Qi Gong's Dog Beating Staff is in my hand.

I am the new chief of Beggars' Gang

as chosen by Qi Gong.

You snatched the gang's token staff from me.

Everyone saw that.

Wanyan Kang.

You said the Dog Beating Staff belongs to you.

But do you even know the Dog Beating Staff Techniques?

You keep calling it the Dog Beating Staff.

You have the nerve to belittle my gang's token staff.

How do you think you should be punished?

As the Beggars' Gang's chief,

you keep calling it the token staff.

Why?

Is it because you think the Dog Beating Staff is cheap?

Or perhaps you don't have any idea what the Dog Beating Staff is?

Because the truth is, you had stolen it from me!

Are you saying whoever has the Dog Beating Staff

is the real chief?

What if the staff was put inside a cabinet?

Does that mean the cabinet is the chief?

Since we've chosen Chief Yang as the new chief,

how can we allow outsiders to humiliate him?

Brothers of the Beggars' Gang.

Our tribe are conquerors.

How could we let this man make a fool of us on our turf?

Who let our brothers, Li Sheng and Yu Zhao Xing,

get beaten to death?

Who was it that caused Elder Lu to be injured?

And who was it that forced my gang to move south?

Shut up!

Who do you think you are spitting baseless criticism?

My fellow brothers.

His real intention is to destroy our great Song.

His surname isn't Yang.

His surname is Wanyan.

He is the son of King Zhao of Jin.
