"Fortune telling"

Go!

Life is full of surprises.

I'm good at analyzing words and Eight Diagrams.

Very accurate! Come!

Give it a try! Come on!

Over here!

What's the matter?

Please listen.

I don't need this!

Your forehead is heavily clouded.

You'll run into unexpected disaster.

I can help you avoid it.

For just one copper coin.

You...

Don't be upset.

Something will happen to your head.

Someone will step on it, and...

disaster will follow!

How is that possible?

You're a genius! Please tell me more!

Your noodles!

Shao You, you're something!

How much did you earn today?

One tael of silver.

Much better off than you.

Showing off kung fu.

Gives you nothing but a soar throat and sweat

for almost nothing.

I will not trick people.

How can we eat this?

Let's go!

We have money.

Let's eat at Man Yu restaurant.

Can we?

Why not? Follow me!

His Highness is here!

His Highness.

Lu...

Yes, Sire!

Zhu...

Yes, Sire.

Get...

Thank you, Sire!

We have learned that.

The suspect for opposing the government.

Robbing provisions and killing soldiers

is the millionaire and

kung fu expert Chu Tie Xia.

Chu Tie Xia? He's...

Yes, he is very rich

and likes to befriend swordsmen.

If he is a rebel.

Then his fortune...

"Man Yu restaurant"

This way, please!

Please go upstairs!

This way...

Please!

It's better over there!

Sorry, Sire! This is Master Chu...

Who is he? Tell him to get lost!

Gold!

It's real!

Sire.

My teeth!

Open your eyes!

Man Yu restaurant is not for people like you.

Look at you!

Where did you come from?

Upstairs? Go away!

We have money!

We don't care! Get lost!

No!

Why can't we come into a restaurant?

Because we won't let you!

You poor bastards have no right!

What are you doing?

What's this?

This is not right!

Send them to the government office

for disorderly conduct!

It is punishable by death!

You are late!

I've been waiting for you!

Please come up!

You know Master Chu?

Why didn't you say so?

Damn!

It's my fault!

This way, please!

This way!

Please!

You are too reckless

if you make a row.

The keeper was right.

The government...

will kill you without reason.

If I knew they're so snobbish...

I would not be here.

Well, since you're here make the best of it.

The food here is quite good!

Master Chu.

Are you the famous Chu Tie Xia?

Just an undeserved reputation.

Undeserved?

You're already here, Master Chu!

These are my friends!

Please have a seat!

Yes! Please!

Sit...

Master Chu.

There's one thing about me.

I'll risk my life for friends

without so much as a frown.

Master Chu, whatever you need.

Be it fire, be it water.

Rest assured, I will not say no.

Yes!

I'll go through hell and high water.

Cheers, Master Chu!

Please!

Gentlemen, please! Good wine!

Help yourself!

On His Highness' order

arrest rebel Chu Tie Xia!

Those who are not related, get lost!

I have stomach ache! Excuse me!

My mom is sick, I must go now!

Excuse me!

Suit yourself!

Excuse me, I'm busy too!

The fellow who risks his life is gone!

The "Be it water, be it fire" fellow is gone!

The "hell and high water" fellow is gone too!

I guess you also should probably...!

Yes! We should go!

Excuse me!

This does not concern you!

You better be going!

No! You're buying our meal.

We're not done eating!

Certainly! Far from it!

Alright, how much do you want?

Chu Tie Xia.

We're here to arrest you!

What do you mean?

Don't play dumb with me!

How much do you want?

You won't get away this time.

His Highness personally gave the order.

Can you buy him off?

So he's after my money.

That's right!

Come with us now!

Or you want us to actually arrest you?

I suppose it's hopeless to resist!

You're smart!

Very well!

A good human cushion!

Go!

Brother Shi, the 36 movements.

After them...

Damn! It's made of gold!

Gold pellets!

Go!

Go after them! Go!

Go! Damn it!

Don't just stand there!

Move!

Thanks for all your help.

Stay with us, we won't starve you!

You'll eat what we have.

May I have the pleasure of knowing your names?

Pleasure?

He wants to know if you're happy

to have him join us.

Happy! Certainly happy!

I'm asking your names.

Lin Shao You.

Guan Fei.

Shi Da Yong.

Chu Tie Xia.

Sire, Chu Tie Xia is very rich.

Everything here

is from his basement.

Sire...

There's enough gold for a wall!

Open...

Open?

Open them!

Yes.

"Sealed by Chu Family"

It's all just an appearance.

My ancestors have left me a fortune.

But it has all gone to the refugees and

to help those rebelling against the Mongols.

I'd like to see their faces...

when they see the rocks confiscated from my house.

Out...rageous!

Your Highness.

Chu Tie Xia

must have hidden his treasure elsewhere.

Let me interrogate him.

He'll confess.

Rest assured, I will take care of this.

You let him escape.

I'll personally chop...

I understand!

If you let him escape,

I'll personally chop your heads off.

Chop your heads off.

I'll personally chop your heads off.

Spare me, Your Highness!

You!

Sit!

Zhu Da Cheng.

Lu Bo Hua, quit fooling around with his mistress.

So did you!

Not now!

Yesterday in the garden.

The old man found out about...

the butler and his other mistress.

He personally chopped off their heads!

He has the strength?

Precisely!

He kept chopping, but their heads were intact.

It was pure torture!

Sir, the keeper at Man Yu restaurant is here.

Gentlemen, that's what we'll do.

We can sever our ties with Chu Tie Xia.

And get to keep his fortune.

Sir, Master Chu has arrived.

Alright! I'm not deaf!

Good! You're all here!

I know I'll catch their attention.

Now the Mongols are onto me!

Luckily I was well prepared.

And left my belongings in your custody.

Now, I wish to...

Master Chu, what are you saying?

We don't understand!

Even though we know each other

we're mere acquaintances.

We don't know about your belongings.

Everything is based on evidence.

You have no proof.

It's not wise to alert the government.

Master Chu, watch it!

We're not far from His Highness' residence.

Relax! You're despicable!

You're not worth it.

Besides, you won't keep them long.

We'll show him!

Over there!

Sirs.

Those three over there!

It's them! Now get lost!

You?

Charge!

Let's see if you can fly!

Where is Chu Tie Xia?

News travels fast!

Alright, we'll surrender!

Chu Tie Xia is...

What?

Where?

He is...

Speak up!

Come here!

Charge!

Who wants to get deep fried?

If you won't move,

I'll charge you for mutiny!

Bo Hua, you're the commander.

I bet His Highness will not spare you!

Move!

Ouch!

I didn't expect His Highness to pick Chu Tie Xia.

Pick him?

His Highness is a man!

I'm talking about his fortune!

Then Master Chu is in trouble!

And you wanted to be a pimp.

And give me to him!

You know what?

That was then, this is now.

Making his acquaintance

we can get his money.

Brother Chu, it's you!

Yesterday in front of everyone.

I had no choice.

When I found out you escaped.

I was so happy for you!

Right, he almost held a banquet to celebrate!

I left a chest of gold pellets with you.

I need them now.

Return them and I'll go.

In the cupboard.

Help yourself!

Where are you staying?

Tell me so I can watch out for you.

Watch out for what?

Send me your mistress again?

You're despicable!

You are!

Three...accomplices...

They got away!

Relax, we'll get them!

Relax! How?

I'll think of a way.

I have a plan.

If you let him get away, I'll personally...

I understand!

Get lost!

Every time he stutters...

we can guess what he wants.

But this time...

He said if Chu Tie Xia gets away

he'll personally...

Personally what?

Even I don't know.

No?

Then why did you say you understand?

Don't worry, he won't kill us!

Personally what?

I'll personally chop off your heads!

Damn! Why can't I say it in front of them?

I'll personally chop off your heads!

Where have you been?

To visit a so-called friend.

What kind of friends do rich people have?

The kind who just care about

each other's status.

Incredible!

He practices Kaibi Palm.

But the timing is wrong.

I think it's perfect timing.

The Mongols abused us, rebellions are breaking out.

This is the time for us to do something.

And eat more than sweet potatoes.

I still have some gold.

Gold pellets.

You're not honest.

Can't be friends with you.

You said you ran out yesterday?

This is nothing.

I almost couldn't get them back!

Fine!

We broke a lot of things during the fight.

We can give one to each of them.

Flatten them and no one will know.

You...

It was fun! Lu Bo Hua and Zhu Da Cheng

almost fell into a wok.

They'll come after us! We can't stay here.

I've been in contact with rebels from Huai Bei.

You can make contributions with your talent.

Would you like to come along?

Yes.

This is the quickest response he has ever made!

We must go.

But not like this.

We must achieve something first.

You're saying...

Let's make a name for ourselves first.

Right.

Lu Bo Hua and Zhu Da Cheng are easy to handle.

Guan Fei.

Their kung fu is not to be taken lightly.

The setting of the restaurant was to our benefit.

We must not be reckless.

Let's find out about their next move first.

Go in...move!

What can we do for you, commanders?

You're friends of Chu Tie Xia?

Chu Tie Xia that bastard.

I'm not his friend.

Yes, we have nothing to do with him.

I've only met him once.

From afar.

We don't know him very well.

Shut up!

His Highness wanted to confiscate your possessions.

But I spoke on your behalf

and dissuaded him.

A few days from now

it's his 17th mistress' birthday.

You all should send a present.

Of course...I'll give 100 taels of gold.

This is...

Take off your shoes!

Shoes?

Good!

You must each walk ten paces.

Waive one step for each 10,000 taels of gold you give.

You first.

I don't have that much.

Jewels will count!

I'll pay!

You have three days!

Yes.

Yes!

"Lucky - Long Life"

Sit down!

My stand is not worth that much!

Is there any news?

Yes! Many rich families in town

were coerced by the Mongols.

To celebrate one of the old man's mistress' birthday.

Everyone must contribute 100,000 taels of gold.

It was worse than killing their parents.

Who has that much gold!

They'll take anything! Jewels, pearls...anything!

I found that

they'll hand it over in the house outside of town.

Let's...

Why not send them directly to the old man?

In that case.

Lu Bo Hua and Zhu Da Cheng will have nothing.

Well?

Sire.

The amount is worth 500,000 taels of gold.

It'll arrive tomorrow.

Please send guards to protect the transport.

Very well.

Tip...you five taels of silver.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Don't forget Chu Tie Xia.

Catch him!

Yes, Sire!

Climb up! Hurry!

Don't worry, help is on its way!

Chu Tie Xia, if you ever fall into my hands.

I'll chop you up piece by piece!

Bit by bit is more fun!

Please sit down!

I'll sit over there!

How much is under here?

Only the high officials are entitled.

Wait for your promotion!

Go!

Put it down!

Who are you? What are you doing here?

Why bring it here?

Kill him outside!

Yes.

Sir, my master is ill.

He cannot come personally.

Commanders Lu and Zhu have ordered

us to send the goods here.

Please check.

I'm late, please forgive me!

You're saying...

Please check the goods!

Don't just stand there!

Get out!

Yes, sir!

Don't come in without my order!

Yes!

Pretend they were never here

and you have not seen them.

Hear me?

Yes, sir!

Move away!

Yours looks heavier

I think yours is heavier.

Kowtow to me!

I kowtowed to you five times.

You still owe me four.

No way! One more!

Let's go!

I left these belongings with them.

They seized them from me!

But the Mongols extorted from them.

And returned them to me.

It was a piece of cake, right?

Almost lost my legs!

Thanks to your friends

who dug the pit.

I bet when they get back...

they must hate to cough up their share.

When they see the rocks.

I wonder what will happen.

Should we go in?

Why? There's no order.

Your Highness!

Your Highness...

You...

I know, I know.

Please give me two days.

I will catch Chu Tie Xia and his gang.

We'll retrieve everything once we catch him.

Plus his entire fortune.

I'm one of the top ten Mongol warriors.

I'm defeated...

because they tricked me.

I already have a plan

...to catch him.

If you fail...I'll

I know.

I know.

Go...

Listen carefully, Chu Tie Xia.

Your accomplices have been arrested.

If you don't turn yourself in, we will kill one

when the shadow of the sun moves an inch.

"Tsui family Ancestral Hall"

His friends are all in custody?

Can't be! I'm still here!

Go...

These are live targets!

You think Chu Tie Xia will come?

Where's brother Chu?

Gone!

Gone! Gone where?

Don't you know?

Need I ask if I do?

He's...

How can you let him walk into a trap?

What would you do?

We tried to stop him.

And he posed us with that question.

So, we...

Shao You.

He said.

The troops are all gathered there.

We have a good chance to help him.

I just came back.

Over 100 archers are standing by.

Plus guards and soldiers.

If he shows up...

There are only three of us.

What can we do?

He said to catch...

What did he tell us to catch?

The leader.

He's saying...

Let's go!

Wait! What are you doing?

Chu Tie Xia, I dare you to show up.

Zhu Da Cheng, you think he'll come?

Definitely.

Would you?

Of course not.

I don't care about these people.

What about him?

He's a chivalrous hero.

The first one!

There he is!

Chu Tie Xia, come down.

Chu Tie Xia, surrender now.

Chu Tie Xia, you're here!

Let them go!

You've been trapped!

You came to save them.

You'll also talk to save them, right?

I'll return the gold and jewels.

Not good enough. His Highness has a big appetite.

What else?

A few hundred thousand taels of gold.

Don't blame me, you should listen to me!

Shut up!

You were gambling last night.

Neither of you won.

Be patient!

What's the use of shouting?

It'll catch their attention.

You have captured me.

Do as you please.

I will not frown.

Because Chu Tie Xia is a brave man.

See for yourself!

You're laughing now.

We have different ways of torture.

I know.

But I doubt if you can use any of them.

Chu Tie Xia is fearless.

Go tell His Highness.

Chu Tie Xia is in custody!

Yes.

Sire, Chu Tie Xia is caught.

Hurry! Hurry!

Go.

Take...

Take him inside!

Yes.

You...are Chu...

How dare you!

I dare to do more!

How are you Your Highness?

What happened?

His internal strength is powerful.

It's soft like cotton!

It's empty!

What kind of kung fu is this?

Let's go!

No! This is our only way to save Brother Chu.

Spare...me.

Spare...

It's real gold!

Move!

I'll chop the hand that moves.

Move!

Go.

Move!

Move! Hurry!

Archers!

Go!

I swallowed two gold pellets!

Good! No one can take it from you.

You won't get away this time!

Order from His Highness.

Bring Chu Tie Xia to him.

He might escape on the way.

How dare you disobey his order?

At least we've done our part.

Hand it in!

Those who keep the treasure will be beheaded!

Yes...

Doctor.

This oil, how can I drink it?

You must.

Heavy metal like gold may pierce through intestines.

Your life will be in danger.

Alright, I'll drink up.

Zhu Da Cheng!

We're finished.

Sire, this is not my fault.

I didn't know about the attack on the residence.

I dare not disobey your order!

You...

Rest assured.

Chu Tie Xia has contacted the rebels in Huai Bei.

They'll head south.

Send out a message.

Order the troops to intercept him.

We'll catch up with him.

We'll arrest him.

Also, his three...

Yes, his accomplices.

If you fail again.

I'll personally...

I know, I know!

Here's a Mongol camp.

We go around, head south along the footpath.

We'll cross the river at night!

Damn! These government horses...

took us straight to camp!

They'll spot us.

Show them the order!

Let's go.

Order from His Highness.

We've never seen them before.

Who is in charge?

Prepare eight good horses for us.

We're in a hurry!

Please take a rest.

No! We must...

It might not be a bad idea.

Give them time to prepare.

Alright, we'll rest up.

We're on extremely urgent business.

We dare not delay!

Yes, sir.

Please follow me. This way!

Prepare eight horses for them.

Yes, sir.

You are high officers.

We'd like to see

high officers' kung fu.

What do you mean?

If you can show us your capabilities

it'd earn the troops' respect.

And build His Highness' prestige.

I suppose you won't disappoint us.

What you're saying is...

We have talented soldiers in the army.

Even I have practiced kung fu.

They'd like to spar with you.

Who'll take the blame for any delay?

We will!

Very well!

Please wait! We'll go prepare.

What is this all about?

Perhaps they already know who we are.

Stay calm!

No matter what happens later.

Try to get out as soon as you can.

There are many soldiers here.

We're in an army camp, how do we get out?

We'll do our best.

Brother Shi, calm down!

Have an agility contest.

Try to survey the camp.

Then we'll play by the ear.

Brother Shi...

This way please.

Let us change.

What would you like to compete in?

Officer Guan is famous for his agility.

I bet no one from your camp

can catch him.

Very well.

Have you heard?

I'm afraid you've made a mistake.

We don't need whips.

If you're really that agile

...the whip can't touch you! Go!

These two are expert wrestlers.

You dare to take them on?

One against two, how stylish!

You said you've practiced kung fu.

Let's give it a try!

We have plenty of men in the army.

Sire, Chu Tie Xia and his accomplices

are trapped in the army camp.

I'll go there and bring them back.

If you fail again...

Rest assured, Sire! They won't get away!

What place is this? Tell me!

Where we store sodium nitro and artillery.

What's it for?

Put sodium nitro and gun powder inside.

It can blow open the city gates.

Open the door!

I need a horse to compete in horsemanship & archery.

Fine, help yourself.

This should be the end of our competition.

We should go.

Commander Lu & Commander Zhu are here!

Arrest them!

There's no gun powder attached to the fuse.

Go!

It's Brother Chu!

Perfect timing!

I heard you were in trouble.

We were so worried that

we were about to launch an attack!

Let's go!

I'm here to accept my punishment.

Chu Tie Xia has joined the rebel army.

He has escaped!

Your Highness!

You said if we fail to capture him

you will personally do...what?

Personally chop off your heads.

Please spare us, Sire!

Your Highness!
