[Episode 3]

I have an idea!

When we go out together, I shall walk like this.

Fa, I am so happy.

After looking at your body, no one will have...

the audacity to call us "Sick men of Asia".

Who broke the water tank?

What happened?

Brother, this water tank has aged.

I am getting married.

Hence, I want to change a new one for celebration.

That's why...

You are talking nonsense.

Who is that?

Greetings to Young Master Yuan Dong.

Huang Wen Fa?

Finally you came back from Nanyang.

Yes, I came back on purpose...

You came back to fight using three-section staff...

and broke the water tank, right?

Master!

It's Brother Zhen Sheng.

No doubt I broke the water tank.

I am at fault.

I will get a new water tank together with Brother Zhen Sheng.

We will buy two.

Each of us will carry one water tank.

You won't get angry at us if we break the water tank again.

Master, come with me!

No way!

Brother Wang Wu is a skilled fighter.

He is bold but attentive.

You must have misunderstood him.

No way I am wrong.

Big Sword Wang Wu together with the escorts from the escort agency...

barged into the church belongs to the westerners.

It had created a scene.

Everyone in the the capital knows about it.

A group of westerners was assigned to deal with him.

The officials even showed them the way!

They have over 30 guns with them!

Yuan Shun Escort Agency was surrounded by them.

Big Sword Wang Wu...

was outnumbered.

One of my friends...

saw him being tied up...

and was brought away by the westerners.

Brother Wang Wu!

Zhen Sheng, give it to me.

Da You! Hurry up! Catch up with master!

We can't do that. The horse carriage will break down if we go any faster.

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Dad.

I left without informing.

Please forgive me.

If you are seeking forgiveness,

you should tell us where are you going.

My sworn brother, Wang Wu is currently in the hands of the westerners.

I have to rescue him.

What sworn brother?

Didn't he break off the friendship with you?

To me,

he is always my sworn brother.

I am your real brother!

I am your biological brother!

As the eldest son of the Huo family,

I am going to teach you a lesson on behalf of our father.

Two years ago, you got into a huge trouble.

Dad had to sell his properties away and beg for help...

in order to save you from being jailed.

As he was so worried about you,

he was diagnosed with lung disease and wouldn't stop coughing.

Today, you make him worry again.

Don't you deserve some punishments?

Yes, I deserve it.

You make the mistake on purpose, don't you deserve to be punished?

Yes, I deserve it.

Today is a big day.

Our house is full of guests and the bride will reach soon.

However, as a groom, you decided to run away in secret.

You don't care about the reputation of the Huo Family.

You don't care about our dad's reputation.

Don't you deserve to be punished?

I deserve to be punished!

Master!

-Master! -Master!

Back off!

Brother, since you beat and scolded me,

you must have cooled down.

Now, please go home with dad.

I am in a rush.

After the punishment, you still insist to leave?

My sworn brother is suffering.

I have to rescue him.

I will break your leg now.

Let's see if you have the guts to leave.

-How dare you fought back? -Brother!

Since young, whenever I got into troubles, you would protect me from being punished.

Today, please do me a favour.

Break off the engagement...

and send off the guests.

You...

Fine.

Since you had the audacity to fight back,

stand up now!

Show me Deceptive Fist that you invented!

Yuan Dong!

Dad!

Dad!

Step aside.

You are no match for him.

Don't embarrass the Huo Fist...

in front of his apprentices.

Dad.

When you were born,

your grandpa said that we need a academician in the family...

and told me to urge you to study.

But you turned out to be frail and skinny.

I was afraid that you'd die at a young age...

and that's why I allowed you to learn martial arts.

However, I have made a huge mistake.

Dad.

Ever since I practise martial arts,

I abide by the martial virtue.

I have never bullied the weak.

Why am I at fault?

You are losing your life. Yet, you still don't see your mistake!

I am going to the capital,

aiming to save Brother Wang Wu and I will come home immediately.

I will be careful.

No matter how great the guns are, they can't hurt your son a bit.

Please don't worry, dad.

You think that you are very great.

Big Sword Wang Wu had been arrested by the westerners.

Are you greater than him?

Listen to me.

Go home now and marry the bride!

Dad!

As westerners intruded our place,

Big Sword Wang Wu mustered the courage to fight back...

and contributed to our country.

He is showing his loyalty to the country!

My sworn brother is in trouble...

and I want to save him in the capital.

That's loyalty to brothers!

Do you mean...

I am neither loyal to the country nor my friends as I am stopping you?

I don't dare to say so.

However, I will go there no matter what.

Fine.

Cross my dead body before you do so.

Dad, please don't tire yourself out.

Stop talking rubbish!

Fight back!

Dad, I am defeated.

Huo-style Mi Zong Fist is unfathomable.

You live up the name of the grand master.

Stop flattering me.

Come home with me.

Dad.

Though I surrender as I am no match for you,

I can't be disloyal to the country and to my friends.

I have no choice but to go against you.

If you force me to go home,

-Master! -today,

I will return my life to the Huo family!

Yuan Jia!

Dad!

Get lost!

Zhen Sheng, get onto the carriage!

-Yes, let's go! -Yes!

Dad, this brat has been spoiled by you and mum.

Yuan Dong!

You are scolding your own brother.

Our ancestors were meritorious.

Finally, there is a loyal person in the Huo family.

Dad.

He is rebellious...

yet you compliment him.

Yuan Jia is smooth-tongued and persuasive.

He has convinced me.

If only he paid attention on studies,

he might have already become an academician.

Dad!

I am fine.

Come with me.

Let's apologise to the bride's family.

[Zuo'an Gate]

[Soldier]

Come, have some tea.

Please.

Senior, what is wrong?

Why are the soldiers guarding the city together with the westerners?

Let's go!

Big Sword Wang Wu is a great person.

He has been beheaded and is hung on Chaoyang Gate to show the public.

Master! Look!

[Public announcement]

He ends up dying this way.

He just died like this.

[Announcement: The rebel, Wang Wu had been arrogant...]

It's written here.

The rebel, Wang Wu...

Master,

we are too late.

[Chaoyang Gate]

Brother Wang Wu!

Brother Wang Wu,

I am late.

I shall bury you now so that you can rest in peace.

What do you want?

Go away!

I will kill anyone who stands in my way!

Master, don't do that!

Greetings, officials.

Master, plan thoroughly if you want to bring Master Wang's dead body home.

Getting coward?

Fight us if you dare.

You are quite good at fighting, aren't you?

Huo Yuan Jia, finally you are here.

I thought for the rest of your life,

you will be a coward...

who hides behind your dad...

and has no guts to leave Tianjin.

Ying Si!

You framed up my brother, Wang Wu...

and killed him!

Yes.

I don't see eye to eye with Wang Wu.

However, I didn't kill him.

It's a shame.

He asked for it!

He attacked the church with a group of outlaws.

He also committed arson.

He did that when the government and the western officials...

were negotiating about peace.

Don't you think he was causing a mess?

Luckily, I received a secret message.

I led my men to surround Yuan Shun Escort Agency.

I allowed the foreign army to shoot him with gun...

and his body is as holey as a sieve.

The western officials only cooled down after killing him.

Then, the meeting went on smoothly.

Big Sword Wang Wu's head...

is separated from his body.

He deserves it!

Ying Si!

You are wearing the official uniform,

and receiving salary from the government!

When the westerners invaded the capital,

not only you didn't fight against them,

you aided them to victimise our own people.

You...

You are worse than a dog!

How dare you!

How dare you scold the imperial officer?

You are sabotaging the meeting!

You are the chaotic party!

Soldiers! Put him down!

You have also brought weapon.

It's confirmed. You are a mobster from a chaotic party!

Don't let any of them leave the place.

I shall arrest them by myself!

-Come with me! -Yes!

My apprentices, sorry to have put you in trouble.

Master, don't say that.

We'll go through fire and water together.

We won't retreat!

Great!

If you must battle your enemy, hit him where it hurts the most.

We shall work together to attack and kill Ying Si...

to seek revenge for the old hero!

[Peace and prosperity]

General, this way to Chaoyang Gate.

Fa?

Huo Yuan Jia.

You are doomed.

Go!

Japanese?

Lord Japanese, what can I help?

Yes.

The general is asking...

what is going on.

This is Huo Yuan Jia.

Just like Big Sword Wang Wu,

he should be beheaded for public parade.

The general said,

as the meeting to negotiate for peace has started,

under the broad day light,

-don't bully the people! -What...

He..

He is not any ordinary people.

He is just a rebel!

Should we listen to your order or the general's order?

Huang Wen Fa!

Bring your friends and leave the place.

Master, let's go.

Master.

Let's go.

Ying Si!

Who are you to call me by my name?

I will gather the full body of Wang Wu tonight.

Very well.

I will be waiting for you!

Huang Wen Fa.

What did you do in that six years after leaving us?

Brother Zhen Sheng,

what do you mean?

How do you know...

the translator of the Japanese Army?

I have known him since young.

Since...

You are talking nonsense!

You have started learning martial arts with master since you're eight years old.

You grew up in the Huo family.

Look at the translator.

He behaved like a slave in front of the Japanese.

I can tell that he is untrustworthy just by one glance!

How can people from the Huo family befriend this kind of person?

Liu Zhen Sheng, that is offensive.

What people from the Huo family? Is your surname Huo?

I am an orphan being adopted by the Huo family.

My surname is Huo!

What's wrong?

Zhen Sheng!

Both of you are just like real brothers.

You should be close with each other for life.

How could you argue after not seeing each other for so long?

Remember your manners!

Zhen Sheng, you are my eldest apprentice.

You should apologise to him first.

I'm sorry, junior.

Brother Zhen Sheng.

I'm sorry.

We should put aside the right and wrong.

Brother Wen Fa, explain to us.

How do you know that person?

After all, he saved our life.

We need to know who is he...

to repay his kindness.

You are right.

Brother Wen Fa, who is he?

That's right.

He is my uncle.

What did you say?

I said, he is my uncle.

My real uncle.

It's out of my expectation, Fa.

I know that you come from a rich family.

However, I didn't know that you have a capable uncle.

He can speak Japanese.

Do you know where does he live?

Yes.

Once, my mum told me to send something to him.

Great! Meet me up with him.

I shall thank him in person.

Master, this...

[Liuyang Association]

Are you Lord Nong's nephew?

Yes, I am his real nephew.

I came from Nanyang to seek refuge with him.

This is...

I am the servant of Young Master Huang.

Come, Young Master Huang.

Come with me.

This way, please.

Lord Nong is doing something.

It's not the right time to see his guests.

Please wait here.

Don't leave the house. Don't walk around too.

Why did you claim yourself as my servant?

I feel strange.

I don't want to expose my identity.

Master.

Are you suspecting that my uncle is not a good guy?

Something is wrong with this place.

This is Liuyang Association, right?

Yes.

Two years ago, people from this association...

conducted funeral for Tan Si Tong.

I saw it with my own eyes just now.

The hired thugs by the government have increased in number again.

It's all Huo Yuan Jia's fault.

I was there at the scene.

Huo Yuan Jia acted rashly and alerted the enemy.

It indeed has complicated our plan to snatch Lord Wang's head.

However, it is meaningful.

We have to do it.

At night, the foreigner army won't be around.

We will succeed for sure.

We have guns!

-Yes. -Yes.

-We have guns. -That's right.

Don't be careless.

We have spent all the fund...

to get these few guns.

Furthermore, we only have limited bullets.

The time has changed.

Don't underestimate the foreign troops with gun.

Furthermore, Ying Si is old and cunning.

He is watching the city gate tower.

The rate of success is lower than we imagine.

The key is, Lord Wang's head is hanging too high up.

Even if we could make the government troops back off with gun,

we still wouldn't have enough time to set a ladder.

Also,

once we fire the gun, the foreign troops will be there right away.

Yes, this is another key point.

Ladder is not needed.

Who is there?

Come out!

Lord Nong, he must be a spy sent by the government.

Kill him!

Hold on.

Huo Yuan Jia.

How did you find here?

I know this place.

Two years ago, my brother, Wang Wu's properties were confiscated.

Thereafter, he lived here.

Are you Huo Yuan Jia?

Brother Wang Wu had broken off his friendship with you.

He didn't have sworn brother like you!

You betrayed him two years ago.

How dare you come here as a spy now?

Gunshot is loud. It will get us into trouble.

Let me do it!

Hold on!

Lord Wang told me...

Huo Yuan Jia is trustworthy.

On the day Lord Tan was sentenced to death,

Lord Wang and Huo Yuan Jia broke off their friendship.

However, they didn't do it wholeheartedly.

He worried that he would put him in trouble.

Are you Nong Jin Sun?

Yes.

When did my brother tell you about that?

Ten days ago.

That was the last time I saw Lord Wang.

He told me that he had two best friends in his life.

One of them is Lord Tan Si Tong.

Another one...

is Huo Yuan Jia from Jinghai District in Tianjin.

[That's right.]

[Let's kowtow!]

[Are you not going to keep me company to wander around the martial world?]

[I have a chance to wander around the martial world side by side with you. ]

[Of course I am happy!]

[Chaoyang Gate]

Lord Si, you loathe Big Sword Wang Wu.

All of us know about it.

However, Huo Yuan Jia...

is there any resentment between you and him?

No.

However,

his dad and I...

I joined the palace guards...

and climbed up step by step until now...

to seek revenge!

I won't let go of anyone...

who humiliated me!

Huo En Di, the cunning fox...

has been hiding at home.

All the government officials in Tianjin are bribed by him.

It's too hard to attack him.

Fortunately, his son is a fool.

He is asking for it!

[Peace and prosperity]

Something is fishy with those workers who are pulling goods.

Keep close watch on them!

Yes.

Alert!

[I asked Fa to meet me up with you.]

[I know that you are capable.]

[What capability do I have?]

[Since you know Japanese officials,]

[you can get guns for sure.]

[Look.]

[My assumption is right.]

[I heard from Fa that...]

[you are obsessed with martial arts.]

[Are you interested in guns too?]

[I don't know how to use guns.]

[However, after contemplating about it,]

[if I were to snatch Brother Wang Wu's head...]

[I don't think I can do it without guns.]

Lord Si, they've stopped.

-Is everything ready? -Yes.

It's ready.

Attack!

[I learned how to use gun when I was studying in Japan.]

[Count me in!]

[I am a hunter. Count me in!]

[Not only I know how to use gun, I hit the target all the time.]

[I was a Sentinel when I was in Xiang army.]

[I am quite skilful in gunfire. Count me in!]

[Master Huo, you came out with the idea.]

[We shall listen to your instructions.]

[Dear all,]

[shoot all the bullets in the gun in one go.]

[Avoid from shooting the government soldiers.]

[What?]

[Those hired thugs by the government are deceitful piece of junk!]

[Why should we keep them?]

[Yes, if we are not going to shoot them...]

[why should we waste the bullets for nothing?]

[Yes.]

[Enlighten us.]

[After all, we are Chinese men.]

[Master Huo is right.]

[The westerners intruded the capital.]

[They are the culprit.]

[As our country is in deep trouble,]

-[we shall not kill Chinese people.] -[Yes.]

[Also, retreat in a fast speed.]

[Don't get hurt by the foreign troops with gun.]

[Our mission is to distract the foreign troops with gun?]

[Yes.]

[Luring the enemy away from his base.]

[It's a good idea!]

No!

[Chaoyang Gate]

They have brought guns.

They are creating a big chaos!

They use metal as protection.

They came here prepared.

The rebellious party with guns.

They are not simple.

If we arrest them when they are alive, I will have made a big contribution.

Have you finished shooting the bullets?

-Yes. -Leave!

Chase after them! Arrest them when they are still alive!

You will be rewarded later!

Lord Si, should we chase them?

Don't worry.

Beware, it might be a trap.

Trying to lure me from the base?

You are inexperienced!

Protect Lord Si!

Assassins are here!

Lord Si, another batch of people is here.

[Huo]

Huo. It's Huo Yuan Jia!

He is bold.

He blatantly brings so many people with him to go against the government.

They are even wearing mask!

[I couldn't help but told Ying Si that...]

[I will go there to snatch the head.]

[No doubt I have alerted my enemy.]

[However, he couldn't ever imagine that we would blatantly do it.]

[Ying Si will get mad when he sees the flags.]

[Therefore, we need strong men who can walk fast...]

[to join this team.]

[Count me in!]

[It's just charging into battle.]

[I will be the first one in the troop!]

[It's not charging into the battle.]

[We need people who can run fast.]

[What? Run?]

[We will be doing one thing under cover of another.]

[I will be holding the flag.]

[I shall scare the thugs hired by the government in my master's name.]

[You are big in size. You are a good fit.]

[Besides that,]

[ask Zhen Sheng to wear my clothes.]

[That's a good idea.]

[Master Huo has everything covered. ]

[Also,]

[tell everyone...]

[to wear a mask.]

Time to arrest them!

Huo Yuan Jia must be hiding inside.

Attack!

Retreat!

After them!

Don't think that you can run away!

-Watch the head! -Yes!

Huo Yuan Jia!

Master Wang,

we are here.

This place is chosen by Master Huo,

with scenic mountains and rivers,

it has good fengshui.

Lower down.

Master Huo.

How may I assist you?

I am an old servant in Lord Tan Si Tong's household,

I don't dare to trouble you.

The day when Master Wang died,

I climbed into the security agency at night.

Among the corpses,

I found this.

What is this?

Open it and you'll know.

This is...

Master Wang cleaned it personally everyday,

he treasured it very much.

And now,

I would like Master Huo to keep it.

No.

Wang Wu is a famous martial artist,

this sword had made him famous.

In another words,

it is the mantle of Wang Wu.

I don't dare to accept it.

If you refuse to take it,

this sword,

will have to cease its appearance in this world.

What do you mean?

Master Wang had no disciples,

apart from Master Huo,

he never befriended anyone else.

Not to mention,

the westerners are extremely cruel.

Master Wang's body and head were separated,

but you risked your life to get back Master Wang's head,

so that he could be buried with his whole body intact.

This much treasured sword,

other than Master Huo,

who else is worthy of it?

Mr. Nong is right.

[Wang Wu]

All right,

I'll keep it.

Master Huo, what's your plan now?

Go home.

Are you joking?

My father is old, my mother is sick,

of course I must go back to them.

Can you still go back?

Don't worry, Mr. Nong,

my disciples and I wore masks that day.

If the government comes looking for us,

I will refuse to admit it.

The government officers...

are extremely cruel.

Are you thinking of reasoning with them?

Unless you have forgotten,

when you bade farewell to Lord Tan two years ago,

you were charged conspiring with illegal parties,

and disrupting the execution ground.

If it wasn't for your father,

who spent money to save you,

I'm afraid you would be in jail now.

Don't listen to Wen Fa,

he shouldn't be telling you this.

It wasn't Wen Fa.

Then?

Master Wang was afraid to implicate you,

he asked me to help to check.

To be honest,

I received the news this morning.

Ying Si led a troop of palace guards last night,

they are going to Tianjin to arrest you.

Listen to my advice,

before the corrupted Qing Dynasty is overthrown,

please don't return to Tianjin.

What did you just say?

Overthrow Qing Dynasty?

The government is corrupted...

because all powers are in the hands of villains.

We need a great emperor...

to save our country.

How dare you make such a statement?

Trying to overthrow the government?

What is your intention?

Master Huo.

I am a martial artist,

it is my responsibility to serve the country.

Although my brother, Wang Wu, drifted around making a living,

he cared about the country.

How could he have a friend like you?

We have differing views,

I shall bid goodbye to you,

I won't see you again.

Master.

-Let me help you. -No need.

You don't need to get on the cart.

Master.

You have completed your studies.

Furthermore, your uncle is here.

You don't have to follow me.

Master,

I have not mastered my skill.

My father has given me another three years.

Let's not discuss any more.

Zhen Sheng,

get on the cart.

-Master. -Say no more!

Get on.

Brother Zhen Sheng.

No.

Master!

Master.

Master!

Master.

Please bring me along!

I can change if I've done wrong!

Master!
