You drink it.

Cui Hong brothel.

What's inside the bag?

How come it's moving?

Of course it is, it's alive.

Can I have a look?

There are lots in there, go ahead and look.

I've got it, you are talking about women.

You're smart.

Brother Luo, let's go and have a look.

Customer.

Gentlemen.

Oh, it's Master Luo and Master Yuan of Iron Flag Clan.

Honoured guests.

Please come in, prepare tea.

Ladies, come serve the guests.

Manager Liang, hold it.

We saw some live stuff outside

and would like to take a look.

That one.

Bring her in.

This...new person from the country side.

I'm afraid she can't serve you good.

Please choose another girl.

What if we insist?

Bring her in, hear that?

I see you like fresh girls.

Bring her in.

Put her here.

Do you know them?

They are heroes.

This is Master Luo, Iron Leopard, of Iron Flag Clan.

Master Yuan Lang, Iron Monkey.

Go and greet him.

Yes.

Master Luo, Master Yuan.

Open it.

If they cause

you any embarrassment or displeasure

please give some face to Eagle Hall

please pardon them.

We know this is Eagle Hall's business.

Open it.

What's the matter?...

Open it...

What are you looking at? Is she your sister?

Your name?

Huang.

Are you the eighth?

A lady Huang outside said

if her husband is inside

ask him to hurry back.

Yes.

Sorry...it's nothing...go back.

What's your name?

Lan Xin.

How did you get here?

They grabbed me here.

Manager Liang, this isn't right

to abduct a girl and force her into prostitution.

Not really...her family owes us money.

It's an offence to be a loan shark.

You can go.

What?

Go on, no one dares to stop you.

Thank you.

Brother, let's have fun with someone more alive.

What do you think?

Good idea.

Wrap him in a carpet and take him with us.

Move.

Do it, quick.

Where to?

Eagle Hall's gambling house.

Eagle gambling house.

Master Luo and Master Yuan.

What brings you here?

We want to play a few hands, well?

Sure, please.

Alright, get lost, you have no more business here.

Yes.

What would you like to play?

Let's bet on this living treasure.

Living treasure?

We're talking of high stakes here.

You better ask manager Zeng here.

Yes...

Manager Zang, we want to play a few hands.

The stakes are high, do you accept?

Yes...of course

we run a gambling house.

That's good.

Today we bet on this living treasure.

What?

Could I have a look first?

Of course.

Manager Liang?

This is our stake.

This is the brain.

Very useful, it could conjure up devious ideas at times.

This should worth a hundred taels of silver.

What if you lose?

If we do

then this is yours.

Zeng, don't let them lose.

Roll the dice.

Zeng.

Shut up.

Mine.

Damn, 2 points, we're sure to lose.

Two points.

Quick, I can afford to lose.

Yes.

I have zero points, you win.

Not bad.

You win.

Still want to go on?

Of course, luck's on our side.

A hundred taels?

Who says so? Bet on manager Liang's hands.

Two points again.

That's better than before, one point.

Not bad, ought to continue...

Manager Liang's feet.

Four hundred taels.

His heart and liver.

What is it worth?

Relax, it's black and rotten

not worth more than a few dimes.

I've lost.

Zeng.

I've lost.

Right, we've lost his heart and liver.

Give it to him.

Don't...

What do you mean?

We ain't amongst those who lose without paying.

I'm still thinking who's the one with guts here!

So it's Iron Leopard Master Luo Xin

and Iron Monkey Master Yuan Lang.

You are Chen Xiang the Flying Eagle?

Another Eagle!

Manager Liang, sorry.

Eagle Gao Deng.

Right.

Iron Tiger Cao Feng.

The three heroes of Iron Flag Clan are here.

Right, he is our senior.

You're in for the worse.

Let's go.

Teacher.

Iron Flag Clan.

Have you caused trouble at Eagle Hall?

If it weren't for Brother Cao

I would have torched the place.

It's not that simple

it's not your own domain so you should leave quickly.

Teacher, Eagle Hall carries on all immoral activities

and should be eliminated.

Mi Jiu Gao of Eagle Hall has sent someone to see you.

Ask him in.

Yes.

Master Mi said there's good & bad guys at Eagle Hall.

There are things that he may not be aware of.

Thank you for lecturing them

he is grateful to you.

So he'd like to send you all an invitation

and reconcile with each other.

In the banquet we will

openly apologize to you.

Master Mi is too kind.

You wait outside for a moment please.

We will tell you if we will come or not.

Yes.

Please.

Could it be true Master Mi isn't aware what's going on?

Openly apologize? Does he take us for kids?

If we don't go it will be a sign of weakness.

I think we should capitalise on their plan.

Speak.

Pretty soon only our Clan or Eagle Hall will survive.

I have prepared a secret weapon for this.

We'll pretend we are going without preparation

but with the real intention to penetrate their grounds.

Teacher and we three will lead our four fighters

and together with my secret weapon

surprise them

and eventually eliminate them.

Your secret weapon is...

The White Robed Rambler Yan Xiu.

He is here.

Yes.

Please.

It's him?

Teacher.

He is the White Robed Rambler.

Your fame precedes you.

Thank you, I have heard your great name

in the martial arts world

and it's a pleasure to meet you today.

Please.

These are my brothers.

We've met.

Over at the brothel.

That's why he's called Rambler.

I've heard it takes a lot of money

to hire your services.

It also depends on what services they are.

This time at the brothel

he has seen all the immortal activities of

Eagle Hall and is willing to help out without reward.

Would that be unprofitable business for you?

It even means you have to pay the expenses.

Right, it's agreed then.

Liu Heng.

Tell the men sent by Mi Jiu Gao that we shall

attend the banquet tomorrow.

Yes.

Eagle Hall.

Fourteen Eagles.

Yes.

Hide at the back.

When I ask for more wine

that's your signal.

Yes.

Instruct the men at the door

to search them first.

If they are armed, attack them at once.

Yes.

They're here.

Chief Tieh, are your men armed?

You could tell that immediately.

You want to search us?

I dare not.

They are not armed.

Welcome.

You are a hero indeed.

Thank you for your invitation.

Please... have a seat.

Let's toast.

Cheers.

My two students

acted in misconduct

and I must thank you for teaching them.

I have already admonished them

never again to engage in such illegal business.

I appreciate your readiness to accept friendly advice.

Thanks for the compliments.

Gao Deng, Chen Xiang

toast to Chief Tieh and his students

and amend your ways from now on.

Cheers.

Cheers again.

Please.

Where have they gone?

Don't they know we're out of wine?

Chen Xiang, ask for a refill.

Yes.

Refill the wine.

Chief Mi, what do you mean by this?

Don't you realise that

there'll never be any free lunches?

You can't leave here today.

Attack and don't let anyone get away.

You are the White Robed Rambler Yan Xiu?

Exactly, Chief Tieh knew

there'll never be any free lunches.

So he asked me to be an unwelcome guest.

Your time has come.

Teacher.

I was ambushed at the back.

It is powerful and shoots with a spring.

Teacher.

After I am gone, the Clan should be...

Teacher, who should in charge of our Clan?

You...

Teacher.

Carry his corpse back.

Yes.

Put the corpse

properly at the back.

For us right now there are three important things.

First thing obviously is to give Chief a proper burial

then we should find the murderer and avenge our Chief.

Finally we should nominate a new Chief

not only to take care of the other two matters

but to promote and build our school

and not let any rascals

undermine our school because of teacher's death.

Brother Cao is right.

What are your views

regarding selection of the new Chief?

As teacher is dead, Brother Cao is the senior

so he should be the Chief.

We've to think carefully about such an important matter.

The old saying says the senior should be the leader.

Another should be elected if this doesn't work out

it shouldn't necessarily fall on the most senior person.

Brother Cao is the most senior and most eligible.

Besides, before teacher died

Cao was asking him who should be the Chief

and Teacher said 'You'.

So you have his blessings and should be our Chief.

I am not against Brother Cao

but regarding teacher's choice

when he was asked about his successor

he was looking at Brother Luo.

So it is a good choice for brother Luo to be the Chief.

It should be brother Cao.

Right.

It was Master's intention to nominate Brother Luo.

So we should follow that.

Brother Yuan said teacher was looking at Brother Luo

but I didn't see that.

I only heard him say 'you' to Brother Cao.

I saw it.

Alright, stop this.

We are all close like brothers, and

teacher has just passed away, yet we fight over this.

As Brother Cao is the most senior

so he could be our Chief.

But teacher...

Brother Yuan, teacher met his fate in a wink

so nobody knows exactly what's his intention.

It's best to let the most senior person succeed him.

We should all invite

Brother Cao to be our Chief.

Brother Cao, please accept the position.

Brother Luo.

If you refuse there'll be more conflict

please have regard for the general good.

Right, since Brother Luo put this in such a way

in light of the current complications

I will take the position.

Brother Cao, Constable Huang, Constable Jiang is here.

Ask them in.

Yes.

Things sure happen fast.

Please.

Gentlemen, please sit.

That's fine, we're on business.

I heard Chief Tieh has died

and wonder who is now in charge.

Brother Cao is the new Chief.

We must congratulate Brother Cao on the new appointment

but this matter

is really putting us in a difficult situation.

We owe you gentlemen some favours

so please tell us how we could help you.

Eagle Hall's Gao Deng and Chen Xiang

put in a charge against your Clan

saying you are guilty of a gang attack

and killed Eagle Hall's Chief and many of his men.

What about the death of our own Chief?

We have always turned the other way

when it comes to these conflicts between schools

but this time Eagle Hall has broken the practice

and made a complaint against you.

So we cannot neglect it.

Although both sides have suffered,

they have suffered more losses.

When this matter goes to court...

Could I alone be involved

to spare the others?

This is one of the choice.

But you're the new Chief and have great responsibility.

I have to fulfil my duties and have no choice.

I am sorry.

Gentlemen, Brother Cao cannot go.

Can we find someone else to be the fall guy?

Someone else? Who?

Someone with a minor role

they won't let it go.

For example...

For example someone of your status

would be more like it.

Then I'll be the fall guy.

Brother Luo.

Brother Luo

it's better for me to go than Brother Cao.

It's just a small token.

You're too kind

besides, we must resolve this issue officially.

Of course...that's right.

Were we to say Brother Luo escaped in guilt

what would the authorities do?

Then there'll be a warrant for his arrest

in every town and county.

That's standard procedure.

But would they really arrest him?

Brother Cao, this might work.

Brother Luo should go far from here.

After a year or so the matter should die down.

Right, we'll do accordingly.

Brother Luo should leave immediately

if he bumped into other officers

then there'll be trouble.

Yes...

Brother Luo, I think...

Farewell.

Thank you.

Brother Yuan, please see them off.

Please.

I little thought matters would come to this.

Brother Luo, be very careful

you needn't worry as long as I am here.

After a year or so

we would meet again.

With you here of course I am relieved.

I'll see you when the matter has died down.

Mister Hu.

How much is there in the coffers.

Bring it all here for Brother Luo.

We've given all our cash

to those two officers.

Give all the rest to Brother Luo.

Yes.

Luo, when you have found a place to settle down

write to me

so I could send you money regularly.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Lok Tian Inn.

Sir, inside please.

What would you like?

Lodgings.

Be nimble.

You're so lackadaisical.

You were more energetic when you first came.

After two months you owe rent and food money

and now you're worse than me.

Hurry.

Well? Do you need a good beating?

Any news?

No money has been sent to you yet.

This is hopeless.

My treat.

What would you like, sirs?

Some wine and meat.

Sure. Customers are here

go and wash up at the back.

Lazy bones.

Please have a seat.

What would you like?

Inside please...

Coming...

Over here.

What would you like?

Good business.

Waiter.

Coming...

This is yours, enjoy...

Thirty three cents.

Twenty three cents

3.3 cents.

Two.

Four, six, three...

Does the man I am looking for live here?

Is the man you're looking for called Luo Xin?

Right, he lives here.

That's good then.

Yuan Lang.

Brother Luo.

Your friend's bill comes to forty eight cents.

Pay them quickly.

I also owe them rent and food money, let's go.

I have a lot to talk to you about.

You haven't? Neither have I.

Haven't you come to deliver money to me?

No, I...

I also have a lot to say to you.

If you have something to say,

pay up and you could take your time and chat.

What are you doing? You...

Boss, I'll work to

pay off what we owe.

We are busy now, don't bother us.

Alright.

What's up?

We have been driven out of the Clan.

Brother Cao and Gao Deng, Chen Xiang jointly

run prostitution and gambling businesses, and they're

even worse than when Mi Jiu Gao was in charge.

I was indignant and said strong words

as a result I was driven out.

That's why I have come to bring you back.

You...don't believe me?

We are brothers, why wouldn't I believe you?

Brother Cao has always been righteous

and he doesn't appear to be such kind of a person.

Well, it's different now.

How come you are in such a distress?

It seems he hasn't sent you any money.

That's true.

There are lots of rumours going around.

Teacher's murderer hasn't been found.

Some say Brother Cao is involved.

What are you doing?

It's a serious matter.

Did you commit some offence

such that you were driven out?

Let go.

Yuan Lang.

Out of my way.

I have come here to cause a rift

why do you want me to stay?

It's not that I don't believe you

but this matter involves grave issues

and is incredible.

If Brother Cao has killed teacher...

I only said there are such rumours

and that's why I ask you back to find the truth.

What is this?

A guest left this.

Where is he?

Why didn't you dump it too?

What's with that guy?

He suddenly attacked me with an axe, so I...

You surely know the ten most feared assassins.

Of course.

That White Robed Rambler Yan Xiu who went with us

to Eagle Hall

is one of them.

Run when you meet Iron Axe and stay away from

Silver Spear; Silver Spear refers to Yan Xiu.

Then this Iron Axe...

Could it be he is the Iron Axe...

Iron Axe is so prominent, looks like it's him

that's why you could get away

and killed him instead.

Until now silver Spear still appears to be our friend.

Could you remember the poem?

Yes.

Run when you meet Iron Axe or silver Spear.

Beware of the Butcher and the Fortune Teller.

Be cautious of Jin Bu Wan and the Naughty Kid.

An old man with three kids, smiling of treachery.

The eight men referred to in the last six lines

are strangers to us

and no one knows who they are

and what they look like

what weapons they use, this is the terrible part.

I have something to tell you, believe it or not.

When I was driven out

I felt I was followed.

I felt the same way when I came to see you.

I have heard the ten assassins

are lurking around these parts

you'd better be careful.

Yuan Lang.

What I have said is prima facie.

I don't blame you for not believing me

so I leave it to you to find out the truth.

Yuan Lang.

Are you done?

The debt has accumulated

could you not work?

Get five catties of meat from the market.

Hurry.

Come, buy...

Buy our bean curd.

Fortune teller.

Be kind and guide the blind man.

There are steps here, careful.

Thanks...

Go, let's go.

Two more steps, be careful.

Thanks...

The deadly Fortune Teller.

Right.

Hurry, I am ready to close.

Sorry

I was held up by that blind man just now.

How much?

Five catties.

Sorry.

Fatty, I little thought

you are a killer.

Haven't you heard killing a man is like killing a pig?

When not in this trade

I usually killed only pigs.

He's the third one.

Who would pay so many assassins to kill me?

You should have kept him alive

and asked who's behind this.

According to rules of the assassins

they won't disclose their boss.

If we have the opportunity let's try to ask.

Let's hope we wouldn't have the opportunity.

Thank you for your help just now.

You shouldn't stand on ceremony

be careful on your return.

I'll look you up later.

Sir, did you want a room or...

Your best room please.

Yes... this way.

Please.

Please.

Sir...

Your best room please.

Yes, please.

Please.

Please.

What took you so long?

Bring it into the kitchen.

Hey...

This gentleman has instructed

he is not to be disturbed.

The food is here.

Leave it here.

You use a large abacus.

It helps me to be accurate.

You're the Iron Abacus.

Right.

Do you know what I calculate?

Dead mens' debt.

Are you Jin Bu Wan?

You have good eyes.

Speak, who sent you?

I won't be one of the most feared assassins if I said.

So? A murder?

You clearly saw he forced my hand.

How could I carry on my business

with someone dead in my tavern?

Throw the body out

while its getting dark.

Open up.

Oh dear, someone's here! What now?

Just throw him into the backyard well.

Alright, we've no choice.

Open up.

Coming.

Wine please.

Little fellow, can you drink wine?

What little fellow? Call me little hero.

How much wine do you want?

Just bring it.

Okay...

Bring good food and give me a room.

Yes...

Little hero, you will easily fall prey

going around as you do.

Bullshit, I have good skills and a deadly sword.

You are the Naughty Kid.

I'm Yang Yi Piu.

My swords never leave anyone alive.

You'll have to make an exception this time.

I don't think Naughty Kid is that deadly?

It's difficult to win when others see your weakness.

How could he find out the weak spot?

He has overacted.

An assassin must not be exposed.

He has to pretend well, understand?

Right, ten most feared assassins have shown themselves.

Now it's your showtime.

Killing you in surprise.

You have been pretending well

but you should not have said what you said

so I could be on my guard.

You are dead

all the same

Yang Yi Piu said the same before.

Didn't you see what happened to him?

He and we are different.

You are the one who killed my Teacher.

Yes.

You know I wouldn't let you go.

Why did you intentionally let me realise that?

I kill for a living

and I could have not let you know

but I am different from other assassins

and have never killed anyone who doesn't deserve to die.

I was deceived

then realised I killed the wrong person.

Iron Flag Clan's Chief Tieh Lin was a hero.

A good man doesn't do dark deeds so I let you know.

Who cheated you?

Who paid you to kill my Teacher?

The one who paid to kill you,

your Brother Cao Feng.

Yuan Lang didn't lie.

The Rambler.

You can avenge Tieh Lin now.

Why did you save me just now?

I didn't want you to die.

How come?

I don't know, you should understand.

I will return with Yuan Lang

to take care of Iron Flag Clan's business.

Right, that's it.

After that

I'll avenge teacher.

That's how it happened.

You let him go?

I'll get rid of the bad elements first.

Maybe it's because he just saved me.

With someone who just saved me

I can't fight the death duel.

What do you plan to do now?

I believe you wouldn't cheat me.

Yan Xiu also attests to what you said, but...

This is still one side of the story.

Don't say that

I have to go and find the truth for myself.

I won't meet Cao Feng.

Do you know where the boss puts the money?

What?

That's dirty money, we need money for the trip.

Iron Flag gambling house.

Master Luo, greetings.

Manager Zeng, do you recognise me?

Master Luo, it's been half a year

what brings you here today?

Iron Flag gambling house.

A new signage without the eagle.

Master Luo must know Eagle Hall is finished.

These belong to Iron Flag Clan.

Just seems like old stuff with a different label

and you are still the manager.

I hear Gao Deng and Chen Xiang are still working here.

Thanks to Chief Cao.

Chief Cao?

Chief Cao.

Where's Gao Deng and Chen Xiang?

You want to see them?

Not here?

Master Luo, please sit for a while

once we find them, we'll ask them to come over.

Alright.

Old Hu.

Coming.

What's up?

Entertain Master Luo, I'm going to look for them.

Please.

Excuse us.

Please sit.

Luo Xin is outside.

He is lucky.

Yeah, our people being so competent 'n all.

Come here.

Over there.

This kid is lucky today.

Old Zeng, you know what to do.

It's okay, don't worry.

Master Luo.

Master Luo, I've found them.

Haven't seen you for a year, you're looking good.

Thanks to Chief Cao.

I haven't greeted Brother Cao yet

but I've heard people mention him a lot.

He is very magnificent now.

Hasn't Brother Luo gone back yet?

Not yet, no hurry.

Since you are here and in no hurry to go back

and you're on a roll.

Let's play with you, okay?

Alright, I want to see if

I'm still lucky playing with you two.

Please shuffle the deck for us.

Yes.

Let's go and watch.

We'll go and watch too.

Make way...

I haven't seen such a big winner.

Master Luo is really in luck today.

How much money do you have here?

Four to five thousand taels.

Come, I'll make another bet with you.

If I win

I'll take the four to five thousand taels before you.

If you have a better hand, you take this.

Come on.

Wait.

Don't you want to see what's inside here?

I'll take you at your word.

Old Zeng.

Yes.

Brother Luo, fortune seems to be smiling at you today.

You win.

House Deed.

This is a residence I bought at the East lane.

Can't say it's too big; just slightly over four acres.

Worth less than a hundred thousand silver taels.

Right...

Old Zeng, go with Master Luo

to take a look at that house

and give Master Luo what he needs.

Yes.

Please.

Master Luo, the furniture and servants

have been arranged.

Do you approve?

Thanks for your trouble.

This is what Master Luo has just won, it's all here.

Please check the amount.

No need, you may go.

Yes...

If there's anything else you want just let us know.

My orders are to serve you

just give me your instructions.

There's nothing I want now, I have to go out.

The two gentlemen have instructed

to prepare food and wine to welcome you.

If they're here...

Just say I'll return before dark.

Yes.

Waiting for Luo Xin?

You can look for me over there.

Upstairs please.

Yan Xiu has gone into the brothel, let's find him.

No hurry, let's get things cleared with Cao Feng first.

I went to the gambling house

and played with Gao Deng and Chen Xiang.

They deliberately lost a residence to me.

I think Cao Feng has asked them to buy me.

You still want to see Cao Feng?

I'll go now.

You go look for Yan Xiu and wait for me there.

I'll meet Cao Feng first and then find him.

Cui Hong brothel.

Come in.

Master Yan, someone's looking for you.

Yes.

Wonder if its Yuan or Luo.

You're here?

You...we saved you once

how come you...

What's the use of saving me once only?

they've caught me again.

You saw Luo Xin?

He was at the gambling house.

Gao and Chen deliberately lost a residence to him

so as to buy him off.

I fear it might be Cao Feng's idea.

He thinks so too, he's now looking for Cao Feng.

Is there any danger?

None immediately.

Cao Feng has to keep up with pretences

but it'll be fruitless.

He'll be here.

Why don't you have a drink while you wait for him?

However, there's something...

we need to settle between us.

That could wait

let's live for today.

You're worried the wine might be poisoned, huh?

Iron Flag Clan.

Brother Luo

why didn't you inform us of your return?

Has my return inconvenienced you in any way?

Not really, that case already died down.

I mean you should inform us to welcome you.

I should be paying respects to Chief instead.

Oh come on, no formalities as such, sit...

You really didn't know I am back?

No, I didn't.

Mister Hu, please prepare a room for Brother Luo.

If he needs money...

No need, I've been to the gambling house.

Strangely enough

I not only won big money but a house too.

I thought you knew already.

You should have come here as soon as you returned.

It's because I heard a lot of rumours.

Brother Cao, our clan already controls Eagle Hall.

Gao Deng, Chen Xiang

are still running prostitution and gambling businesses.

So what's happening?

As a Chief there're difficulties that others don't perceive.

There are hundreds of men

under Eagle Hall who need to make a living

and I don't want to be too strict with them.

The original intention of taking in Eagle Hall

was to turn their men from evil ways.

But this seems absurd.

You're right, I'll ask them to wind up their business.

I have nothing to say

but I have only got money twice

none has been sent to me since

I also suffered the danger of being assassinated.

What is this about?

Really? Could it have been Gao and Chen?

How dare they?

I must get to the bottom of this.

As regards the dispatch of money, Mister Hu.

It is sent regularly each month.

I'll check with the bank.

Since Brother Cao doesn't know

there's no need to investigate.

Luckily I have returned

and with no harm.

But there's a matter of grave concern

and must be resolved.

Brother Cao, how do you think teacher died?

This is still an unresolved case

and no leads have come up from investigations.

The Rambler told me himself he killed teacher.

Really?

Since he has admitted that to you

did you get to avenge our teacher?

No.

Brother Luo.

That's because he said

there was someone else behind it.

Who?

You.

You're saying...

You... it's you who master-minded teacher's murder.

Brother Luo, we've been Brothers for years.

If at all you could believe this

I have nothing to say.

It's not whether I believe.

This is what that Rambler fellow said.

This is a grave matter

and must be resolved.

Get Rambler here and we'll settle it once and for all.

Alright.

If it is found out that I'm behind Teacher's death

I will receive just punishment.

However, if Rambler is the culprit

and wants to stir up a fight between us

we must avenge teacher.

Naturally.

Everybody stay here

and wait for Luo Xin to get the Rambler.

Nobody leaves.

Yes.

Cui Hong brothel.

Rambler, come with me.

Have a drink and calm down.

I know you're no fool and would soon understand.

I almost fell into Cao Feng's trap.

I don't understand.

Just give it a thought... say, if I went with Rambler

but Cao Feng insisted it's not true

and that Rambler is the culprit.

What would that lead to?

However, I must admit that

I killed your teacher

and can't find evidence Cao Feng master-minded it

while Cao Feng seems to have justifications

to stir everyone to avenge teacher.

Under mob anger

am I the fall guy

or should I fight back.

There would be casualties

and we'll fall into Cao Feng's trap.

Are we helping Cao Feng or the Rambler?

That's it

we have no reason to help the Rambler.

But if they join together to kill the Rambler

not only our men would be involved in casualties

but also, the crime of Cao Feng would not be revealed.

He will still retain his position securely as the Chief

and then deal with us in time.

To avenge your teacher is reasonable

and I would not avoid such a fight.

The issue is whether we should deal with Cao Feng

and not let him take advantage first.

Agree.

But what should we do now?

We wait.

If we don't go, this matter would not be resolved.

Cao Feng would be restless

he would be forced to take action.

And therein lies an opportunity for us.

Right, we wait.

You wait here, I'll wait at my house

until Cao Feng can't wait any longer.

What do you think?

Brother Luo and the Rambler didn't come at all?

Yes, as you expected

I said the Rambler is no fool.

Brother Luo would understand soon.

Go out in a while

and say the Rambler has chickened out

then ask everybody to go.

Yes.

But your next step...

One step at a time for this game.

Brother Luo is well liked by everyone.

If the matter comes to light

it won't be too convenient for me to do it myself.

This game should start like this.

Gao Deng, Chen Xiang are the first step.

They can only go forward, not backward.

Come, let's toast to Brother Luo.

Brother Luo must have known.

Brother Gao and I have joined your Clan

so we are family now

please give us more guidance in future.

You're too kind; I have a question to ask

and hope you don't mind.

Please go ahead.

The businesses you run

gambling, prostitution

are they really Brother Cao's idea?

Of course. Since you left this year

he has been in charge of everything.

So who else's idea could it have been?

Brother Cao is different now.

I saw him today and he really looked different.

It's good you understand.

He is really different now with his success.

Let me ask this again.

Was it also his idea that you lose

the money and the house to me?

Well, it's enough if you understand too.

That is to say he wanted to buy me?

You are a man of the world.

Iron Flag Clan has large expenses

and we depend on income from local businesses.

As long as you could turn a blind eye.

Chief would take care of you.

What if I am not for sale?

Before you left

he already has checkmated us;

If we could not persuade you

we might have to give them up.

Even if it's okay for Chen Xiang and me

my men have to eat.

Sorry, that's none of my concern.

Please return this house to Cao Feng.

I'm going now.

Can't you wait to neck until later?

Go back to your own room.

I have asked Xiao Hong to serve you.

If you don't go back, who could you blame?

Don't mind him, let him be jealous.

Who's jealous?

I was thinking if Luo Xin returns to his house

would there be trouble?

Unless Cao Feng finds it tough to control himself

I knew he wanted to use Luo Xin

against me

so as to answer to the follower of your clan.

He wouldn't do it himself.

Cao Feng might not

but Gao Deng and Chen Xiang...

Luo Xin, beg for your life

and I'll make you end up fast.

This net is made of cow ligament and was soaked

last night. Under the sun it's becoming tighter.

You should feel that by now.

If you don't plead you'll soon suffocate.

Gao Deng, Chen Xiang, what are you doing?

I thought you would change your old ways

but you are still so bad.

Brother Cao.

Chief, you mean...

You are obedient

but not Gao Deng

he is getting increasingly unmanageable.

Cao Feng

now that you have used us

you want to get rid of us.

You paid us off to get rid of Mi Jiu Gao

and asked Rambler to kill your teacher.

Now you control

Iron Flag Clan and Eagle Hall

and you want to burn all bridges.

You even pretend in front of Luo Xin

but your efforts are in vain.

Luo Xin is dying.

I haven't done it in vain.

At least I'll get rid of you today.

Chen Xiang, you're smart.

Chen Xiang, you despicable bastard.

Chief, I have always been loyal to you.

Good.

Luo Xin is close to death.

I don't want any evidence left.

Wait here to ensure he dies

then report to me.

Don't leave

until you're sure.

Yes.

Chief, take these men back.

Eagle Hall is finished

they should be loyal to Iron Flag Clan.

Good.

Brother Luo, I knew you were awake.

You were pretending but I didn't tell Cao

you now know everything.

I just don't understand you.

What don't you understand?

Cao Feng has used Gao Deng and me

now he wants to kill us to silence us

and you...he fears men in the clan

might still be loyal to you

so he wants us to do the dirty work.

Once I report your death

would he let me live?

Only if I join forces with you to go against him

could I have a chance to live.

Sooner or later Cao Feng would certainly kill Gao Deng.

I killed him and despatched the men

so he wouldn't suspect me.

Thank you for saving me

but you have the wrong idea.

What? You still believe Cao Feng?

Certainly not, I suspected him

and I am now clear.

I mean, I feigned my coma but I am really wounded.

I am in no condition to fight.

I know.

The most important thing now

is to leave here and

find a secret place to recuperate.

It's too late.

Chief has great foresight

and knew you'd rebel

so he asked us to guard outside.

Watch him.

You want to kill Brother Luo?

Chief said

if Chen Xiang rebels, he should be killed.

We have been brothers for years

could you bear to do it?

Chief's orders.

Why don't we consult Chief

for what we should do?

That's possible.

You and Liu Heng return and consult the Chief.

Right.

We'll wait for them here.

Fool.

We should do what Chief has ordered

it's more convenient to get them out of the way.

No wonder Chief says you are capable.

Lu Biao.

You are capable.

I have known you so many years.

I didn't realize you are such a beast.

You are really capable.

Chief, what's your decision?

What's the hurry?

When my men return we'll know.

Chief, your men have been killed

and Luo Xin has disappeared.

Okay

now you understand that the matter isn't so simple.

You may go. I'll let you know the next step

in the right time.

Chief, you think...

If I am correct, the Rambler has saved Luo Xin.

I have sent men to monitor the brothel

there should be news any time now.

Chief, the Rambler and Yuan Lang

have taken Luo Xin into the brothel.

Well?

Are we going to let the Rambler

have an easy time there?

Not a bad idea to let Luo Xin recuperate.

You must think Luo Xin will fight with the Rambler.

If this happens, we can save our efforts.

I can deal with one of them easily

but I am not sure with the two of them together.

Chief, you have always been right.

It's difficult to anticipate.

I have to set this thing up further.

Since Gao Deng and Chen Xiang have not succeeded

in getting rid of Luo Xin

we should let them fight each other. It'd be ideal

if they both got killed; if not, at least one of them.

It's now quite obvious as to who paid me

to kill the Chief of Iron Flag Clan.

Cao Feng lied to me

that Tieh Lin would join forces with Eagle Hall.

If so, the people would be in deep trouble.

Later I knew that he was the one who wanted to do so.

I don't want to let this rascal

get away with it so easily.

I can only promise you that we will

settle our grudges after we have eliminated Cao Feng.

Yuan Lang, let Luo Xin rest for a while.

Let's go out for a walk.

Alright, let's go.

Do you think Cao Feng will come?

Not before Luo Xin recovers.

He must have thought that

he could sit back and watch Luo Xin fight with me.

Let's go and find some place

where I can pass on this spear technique to you.

Why?

To give Cao Feng a surprise at the critical moment.

Remember, what I mean by critical moment is

the time when you can kill Cao Feng.

Apart from that, even if MY life is in danger

you shouldn't use it.

Don't forget, I killed your Teacher.

You know that it can be shot out.

Cao Feng knows that too.

He must have found a way to overcome it.

But nobody knows that

apart from this

there's another secret mechanism.

So I don't want you to use it until it's necessary.

Lan Xin, do you like Rambler?

I know that we won't have a happy ending

but I can't forget him.

Rambler is a good man.

It's not easy to find someone like him, don't give up.

I really don't understand you men.

You call yourselves heroes, martial artists.

Are you two friends or foes?

Luo Xin is resting at Rambler's place.

He should have recovered.

What do you think?

Should be.

You two go to the brothel

and invite Luo Xin and Rambler to come.

What if they refuse?

Tell them that

I just want to settle our mutual grudge

with them face to face.

If I had bad intentions

I didn't have to wait till now.

I'd have attacked Luo Xin when he was wounded.

We'll pass your message to them

and try to convince them to come.

We trust that you won't make us betray our friends.

Of course; After all you'll be present.

If I had other intentions

would you still see me as Chief?

Alright, we'll do as you say.

Chief, they...

Not reliable, isn't it?

Just because of this

Luo Xin and Rambler will believe in them.

You are such a genius.

What of the matter I asked you to handle?

All the men are hiding outside the brothel.

Alright. I'm going out for a while.

You insist doing it yourself?

No, it's not yet time.

I'd rather not take action before

Luo Xin and Rambler start the combat.

I'm going for another matter.

Brother Luo, Brother Yuan.

Brother Luo has recuperated.

Chief's invited you and Brother Yan to the headquarters.

What kind of trick is that?

Brother Cao asked me to tell you

that he only wants to settle the grudge

once and for all.

Said if he nurtured an ulterior motive

he'd have attacked when Brother Luo was still wounded

and didn't have to wait till now.

What do you think?

These two are good men.

That day at the house

if it weren't for them

I would have died

before you and Yuan Lang came.

Brother Luo, Chief is our Brother

and we have brotherly love.

Before we came he promised

that he wouldn't make us betray our friends.

Only then did we promise to pass on his message to you.

Cao Feng is not my Brother.

I don't trust him.

Yan, it's up to you.

I'm asking Brother Luo and Brother Yuan.

Dai Cong and I will be present today.

If Brother Cao does anything wrong

both of us will die in front of you.

Xiao Liu and I will risk our lives

to protect Brother Luo and Brother Yuan.

Alright, because of them.

Let's go.

I'm to be blamed.

Once I've got involved in your Clan's business

I have to listen to what you say.

Alright, let's go.

Yuan Lang.

Of course I'm going too.

Hurry, go...

What's going on?

Never expected Brother Cao would have done that.

Dai Cong, what did we say just now?

Fight.

Xiao Liu, Dai Cong.

Dai Cong and I didn't betray friends.

Cui Hong brothel.

Chief Cao.

Where's Lan Xin?

In the room.

Take her away.

Yes.

Go.

They are good men.

True to their word they risked their lives for us.

What are we waiting for? Go and find Cao Feng.

That's right, Luo Xin and I are going to find Cao Feng.

But you have to stay behind.

Why?

Have you forgotten what I told you the other day?

Remember what I said.

Don't make any move until the critical moment.

Luo Xin, let's go.

Today we must settle with Cao Feng once and for all.

Cao Feng, we are here.

Your conspiracy has failed again.

I suppose you won't believe

even if I told you that it has nothing to do with me.

Alright, what do you want?

You know it.

I have to get rid of the bad elements today.

What about avenging Teacher?

Are you trying to usurp the Chief's position with him.

You waited for me to recuperate

in order to let me fight against Rambler.

It'd be nice if both were dead; if not, at least one.

I won't let you have your way.

I'm afraid you have no other choice.

Mister Hu.

Come out.

Lan Xin?

Cao Feng, you...

Listen.

This woman is your bosom friend.

Luo Xin, she helped you to recuperate.

I suppose you two big fellas

won't let her risk her life.

Cao Feng, you know I am a rambler.

I wouldn't buy this.

What about you, Luo Xin?

Cao Feng, we are from the same school.

We know very well each others' skills.

I may not be your match.

Why then do you have to use such dirty tricks?

Since you know I'm not afraid of you

I just want you to fight with Rambler first

to avenge Teacher

before we deal with our own business.

If unfortunately you are killed by Rambler

Rambler and I will fight then.

The matter is very clear.

Once you start the fight, I'll release Lan Xin.

Alright, so be it.

But will you be faithful to your words?

Of course, if not how could I

be the Chief anymore.

I'll believe in you for once.

Brother Yan, please.

Rambler, what about you?

Meeting the pair of you

it seems that I am no longer myself.

Alright, you've got to trust in me and Luo Xin.

Release Lan Xin.

Alright, I'll let you gain the upper hand this time.

Mister Hu. -Yes.

Release her.

Yes.

Release her.

Hurry and go, go away as far as you can.

Forget about us.

Don't ever get acquainted with men like us.

Alright, Luo Xin.

We are destined to fight this combat, come.

Wait.

Does this flag belong to Liu Heng or Dai Cong?

I'm just afraid it doesn't befit you.

Bring Brother Luo's flag over.

Yes.

Brother Yan, come on.

Please.

Attack.

Hurry, go...
