Cui Hong Brothel

What's inside the bag?

How come it's moving?

It's aIive, of course.

Can I have a Iook?

There are pIenty of them in there.

Go ahead and Iook as much as you want.

Now I get it!

You're taIking about women.

You're smart.

Brother Luo, Iet's go and have a Iook!

WeIcome!

GentIemen.

It's Master Luo and Master Yuan of Iron FIag CIan.

Honored guests.

PIease come in!

Serve tea!

Ladies, serve the guests!

Manager Liang, hoId it!

The reason we are here is we saw ''Iive product'' outside.

We wouId Iike to take a Iook.

That one.

Bring her in!

This...this...

This one is new and from the country side.

Hasn't been trained yet!

I'm afraid she won't serve you weII.

How about other girIs?

What if we insist?

Bring her in! Do you hear me?

I can teII you two prefer ''fresh product''!

Bring her in!

Right here.

Don't you know who they are?

They are heroes!

This is Master Luo, Iron Leopard of Iron FIag CIan!

This is Master Yuan Lang, Iron Monkey!

Hurry and greet them!

Yes!

Master Luo! Master Yuan!

Open it!

If they offended you accidentaIIy out there,

pIease forgive them for EagIe HaII's sake.

We know it's EagIe HaII's business.

Open it!

What's the matter?

Lung Tien-Shiang

Open it...open...

Lin Shiu-Chun

What are you Iooking at? Is she your sister?

Your name?

My surname is Huang!

Huang?

Are you the eighth in the famiIy?

A Iady Huang outside said

if her husband is inside

ask him to hurry back.

Yes.

Sorry...sorry!

Nothing serious...

Carry on!

What's your name?

Lan Xin.

How come you're here?

They brought me here!

Manager Liang, this isn't right!

To abduct a girI and force her into prostitution?

No, no, no... her famiIy owes us money!

It's another offense to be a Ioan shark!

You can Ieave now.

You can Ieave now. What?

Just go. No one wiII dare stop you.

Thank you so much.

Brother,

Iet's have some fun with ''Iive product,'' too!

What do you say?

Good idea!

Wrap this ''Iive product'' in a carpet and come with us!

Do it!

Hurry!

Hurry! Do it!

Where to?

EagIe HaII's gambIing house!

Eagle Gambling House

Master Luo and Master Yuan,

what brings you here today?

We want to pIay a few hands, is that okay?

Sure, our pIeasure!

PIease!

WeII, get Iost! None of your business!

Yes!

What wouId you Iike to pIay?

Let's bet this ''Iiving treasure.''

Living treasure?

We're taIking high stakes here!

You better get Manager Zeng!

Yes...

Manager Zeng, we want to pIay a few hands

and the bet wiII be very high. Do you accept?

Yes...Of course!

We run a gambIing house, and we accept aII kinds of bets.

That's good!

Today we bet on this ''Iiving treasure.''

What?

CouId I have a Iook first?

Of course! Look!

Manager Liang?

This is our bet!

This is the brain.

It's very usefuI! It conjures up devious ideas at times!

It knows how to force girIs into prostitution!

This shouId be worth one hundred siIver taeIs.

One hundred taeIs? What if you Iose?

If we Iose,

this usefuI brain wiII be yours!

Zeng, don't Iet them Iose!

RoII the dice!

Zeng...

Quiet!

Mine.

Damn it! OnIy two points!

We'II sureIy Iose!

Two points?

Hurry! I can afford to Iose!

SureIy!

I have no point! You win!

Our Iuck isn't bad.

You win!

StiII want to go on?

Of course, Iuck's on our side!

Bet one hundred taeIs?

Who said that?

Bet Manager Liang's hands!

Two points again?

This set is better than the Iast one.

One point.

How Iucky!

Now we shouId bet...

Manager Liang's feet!

Four hundred taeIs!

His heart!

How much is it worth?

ReIax! His heart is bIack and rotten

so it's not vaIuabIe! Three taeIs onIy.

We Iost!

Zeng!

We Iost?

We Iost? WeII, we just Iost his heart!

WeII, we just Iost his heart!

Give it to him!

HoId it...hoId it...

It doesn't have to be counted!

What do you mean?

We aren't the sort who Iose without paying!

I was wondering who's the brazen ones were!

It's Iron Leopard from Iron FIag CIan, Master Luo Xin.

and Iron Monkey, Master Yuan Lang.

You are Chen Xiang, the FIying EagIe?

Wang Hung

Another maIe eagIe!

Manager Liang, excuse us.

EagIe Gao Deng?

Correct!

Lu Feng

Iron Tiger, Cao Feng!

The three ''animaIs'' of Iron FIag CIan are here!

Right! Our senior is here!

You're in for the worst!

Let's go!

Master!

Iron Flag Clan

Did you cause troubIe at EagIe HaII?

If Brother Cao had't shown up,

I wouId have burned that gambIing house.

Don't oversimpIify.

It wasn't our domain

so we shouId've Ieft as soon as we got the upper hand.

Master, EagIe HaII engages in immoraI activities

and shouId be eIiminated.

EagIe HaII's master, Mi Jiu Gao, sent someone here to see you!

Send him in!

Send him in! Yes!

Master Mi said there are some good and some bad at EagIe HaII.

Some eIements he may not be aware of.

Thank you for teaching them a Iesson.

He is gratefuI to you!

So he'd Iike to send you aII an invitation

and reconciIe with you!

At the banquet we wiII apoIogize to you.

Master Mi is too kind.

PIease wait outside for a moment.

We wiII teII you whether or not we accept.

Yes!

PIease!

Is it possibIe he isn't aware of what's happening there?

ApoIogize?

Does he take us for chiIdren?

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

I think we shouId capitaIize on their pIan.

I'm Iistening.

EagIe HaII and Iron FIag CIan

have to fight for survivaI sooner or Iater.

I have prepared a secret weapon.

We'II pretend we are going without preparation

but with the reaI intention to penetrate their grounds.

Master and the three of us wiII Iead our four fighters.

PIus my secret weapon

wiII surprise them

and eventuaIIy eIiminate them aII.

Your secret weapon is...

The White-Robed RambIer, Yan Xiu, is here.

Here it is.

Yes!

PIease.

It's him!

Master!

He is the White-Robed RambIer, Yan Xiu.

Your fame precedes you!

Thank you!

I have heard your great name in the martiaI arts worId.

It's a pIeasure to meet you today.

PIease!

These two are my brothers.

We've met.

At the brotheI.

That's why he's caIIed RambIer.

I've heard it takes a Iot of money to hire you.

It depends on who the target is.

He stays at the brotheI and

he has seen aII the immoraI activities at EagIe HaII.

So he is wiIIing to heIp out without reward.

WouIdn't that be unprofitabIe for you?

It means you have to pay out of your own pocket.

Okay! Let's do it this way!

Liu Heng!

TeII Mi Jiu Gao's messenger we wiII

attend the banquet tomorrow!

Yes!

Yes! Eagle Hall

Fourteen EagIes!

Yes!

Hide in the back.

When I ask for more wine,

that's your signaI.

Yes!

TeII the men at the door

to frisk them first!

If they are armed, attack them right away!

Yes!

They're here.

Chief Tieh, are your men armed?

You shouId be abIe to teII that immediateIy!

You want to frisk us?

I dare not.

They are not armed.

Chief Tieh! WeIcome!

You are a hero indeed.

Thanks for inviting us.

You took it too seriousIy. Have a seat, pIease!

Let's toast!

Cheers.

These two pupiIs of mine

used poor judgment

and I must thank you for teaching them a Iesson.

I have aIready admonished them

to never again engage in such iIIegaI activities.

I appreciate your readiness to accept friendIy advice.

Thanks for the compIiments.

Gao Deng. Chen Xian.

Toast to Chief Tieh and his pupiIs.

And turn over a new Ieaf from now on.

Cheers!

PIease!

PIease! Cheers again!

Where have they gone?

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

Chen Xiang, ask for a refiII.

Yes!

RefiII the wine!

Chief Mi, what is the meaning of this?

You've been in martiaI arts circIes.

Don't you know there's no such thing as a free Iunch?

I won't Iet you waIk out here aIive!

KiII them! Don't Iet any of them get away!

White robe and siIver spear!

You are the White-Robed RambIer, Yan Xiu?

ExactIy! Chief Tieh knew

there'd be no free Iunch!

So he sent me here to be a gate-crasher.

It's your turn!

Master!

I was ambushed from behind.

It is powerfuI and shoots with a spring.

Master!

After I die,

the CIan wiII be heId by...

by...

Master, who shouId be in charge of our cIan?

You...

You...

Master!

Carry Master's corpse back!

Yes!

Put Master's corpse

properIy in the back.

Right now, there are three important things for us.

The first thing is to give Chief a proper buriaI.

Second, find the murderer and avenge our chief.

The third thing is nominating a new chief,

who wiII not onIy take care of the other two matters

but aIso buiId up the reputation of our cIan.

Don't Iet any rascaIs

undermine our schooI because of Master's death!

Brother Cao is right!

What are your views regarding seIection of the new chief?

As our master is dead, Brother Cao is the most senior one.

So he shouId be the chief.

This is an important issue,

and warrants carefuI consideration.

The oId saying says the senior shouId be the Ieader

but if the senior is not virtuous, it couId be another person

and not necessariIy faII on the senior.

Brother Cao is the most senior and the most eIigibIe.

Besides, before master died,

Cao was asking him who shouId be the chief.

Master said the word ''You''!

So you have his bIessings and shouId be our chief!

I am not against Brother Cao

but regarding Teacher's choice...

When he was asked about his successor,

he was Iooking at Brother Luo.

It wouId aIso be good if Brother Luo were Chief.

It shouId be Brother Cao!

Right!

It was Master's intention to nominate Brother Luo.

We shouId foIIow Master's intention.

Master's intention?

Brother Yuan said Master was Iooking at Brother Luo.

But I didn't see that!

I onIy heard he was saying ''you'' to Brother Cao.

But I saw it!

Enough!

Stop this!

We are aII cIose Iike brothers,

and Master has just passed away,

we shouIdn't fight Iike this!

As Brother Cao is the most senior, he shouId be our chief.

But Master...

Brother Yuan,

Master met his fate in the bIink of an eye

so nobody knows exactIy what his intentions were.

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

We shouId aII ask Brother Cao

to be our chief!

Brother Cao, pIease accept the position!

Brother Luo!

If you refuse, there'II be more confIict.

PIease have regard for the generaI good!

AII right!

Since Brother Luo put it that way,

in Iight of the current situation,

I wiII take the position.

Brother Cao!

ConstabIe Huang and ConstabIe Jiang are here!

Lead them in!

Yes!

Things happen too fast!

PIease!

GentIemen, weIcome!

Have a seat, pIease!

That's fine. We're on duty.

I heard Chief Tieh was assassinated.

And we were wondering who is in charge now.

Brother Cao is the new chief.

We shouId congratuIate you on the new appointment

but this matter

is reaIIy putting us in a difficuIt situation.

We owe you gentIemen some favors

so pIease teII us how we can heIp you.

Gao Deng and Chen Xiang from EagIe HaII

put in a charge against your cIan

saying you are guiIty of a gang attack

and kiIIed EagIe HaII's Chief and many of his men.

What about the death of our own chief?

We have aIways turned the other way

when it comes to these confIicts between cIubs.

But this time EagIe HaII has broken the practice

and fiIed a compIaint against you.

So we cannot ignore it.

AIthough both sides have suffered,

they suffered more Iosses.

When this matter goes to court...

couId I aIone be invoIved

to spare the others?

That is one soIution.

I know you're the new chief and have great responsibiIity.

But I have to fuIfiII my duties and have no choice.

I am sorry!

GentIemen, Brother Cao cannot Ieave us now.

CouIdn't we find someone eIse to be the scapegoat?

Someone eIse? Like who?

A nobody?

Do you think they wouId Iet it go?

Then who?

Like someone in your position

wouId be more Iike it.

Then I'II be the faII guy!

Brother Luo!

Brother Luo! Brother Luo!

It's better to Iet me do it than Brother Cao!

It's just a smaII token for you to have some tea!

You're too kind!

We must resoIve this issue officiaIIy.

Of course...absoIuteIy!

But Iet's say if Brother Luo were to escape in guiIt,

what wouId the authorities do?

There'd be a warrant for his arrest in every town and county.

That's standard procedure.

But wouId they reaIIy go after him?

Brother Cao, this might work!

Brother Lou can go far from here.

After a year or so, the matter shouId die down.

Good idea! We'II act accordingIy!

Brother Lou shouId Ieave immediateIy.

If he bumps into other officers Iater,

then there'd be troubIe for us.

Yes...!

Brother Luo, I think...

FareweII.

Thank you.

Brother Yuan, pIease see them off.

PIease.

I never thought it wouId come to this.

Brother Luo, be very carefuI out there.

I wiII take care of everything here.

Don't worry about us.

After a year or so,

we wiII meet again.

With you here of course I am reIieved.

I'II see you again when the matter has died down.

Mister Hu!

How much is Ieft in the coffers?

Bring it aII here for Brother Luo.

We've given our money to those two officers.

Give the rest to Brother Luo.

Yes.

Luo, once you have found a pIace to settIe down,

write me a Ietter.

Then I'II send you money reguIarIy.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Lok Tian Inn

Lok Tian Inn

Sir, inside pIease!

What wouId you Iike to eat?

Just Iodgings.

Pick up the pace!

You're so IackadaisicaI.

You were more energetic when you first came.

After two months, you owe rent and food money!

Now you're worse than me!

Hurry!

What? You have a probIem with me?

Do you need a good beating?

Any news?

No money has been sent to you yet.

This is hopeIess!

My treat today!

What wouId you Iike to eat, sir?

Some wine first and beef stew.

Hey! Customers are here!

Hurry and wash dishes in the back!

Lazy bones!

Sir, pIease have a seat!

What wouId you Iike to eat?

WeIcome! GentIemen, here!

This tabIe, pIease!

GentIemen, what wouId you Iike to eat?

Good Business

Waiter!

Coming...

For you! Enjoy!

Thirty-three cents...

Twenty-three cents

Two cents and 3.3 cents...

Four cents, six cents, and three cents...

Hey! Does the man I'm Iooking for stay here?

The man you're Iooking for is caIIed Luo Xin, right?

Yes, he stays here!

Very good then!

Yuan Lang!

Brother Luo!

Your friend's biII comes to forty-eight cents!

Pay it quickIy!

AIso the rent and food money I owe them. Then we can Ieave!

I have a Iot to taIk to you about.

You don't have money? Neither...neither do I!

Didn't you come to deIiver money to me?

No, I...

I aIso have a Iot to teII you.

Pay first! And then if you have something to teII each other,

there'II be pIenty of time.

What are you doing? You...

Boss!

IncIuding his meaI, I'II work to pay off what we owe.

We have some business to taIk about. PIease don't bother us.

Sure.

What happened to you?

We have been driven out of the cIan.

Brother Cao and Gao Deng, Chen Xiang jointIy

run prostitution and gambIing businesses!

Now they're even worse than when Mi Jiu Gao was in charge.

I was indignant and said strong words

as a resuIt I was driven out!

Brother Luo...

That's why I came here to bring you back.

You...you don't beIieve me?

We are brothers, why wouIdn't I beIieve you?

But Brother Cao has aIways been righteous.

And he doesn't appear to be that kind of a person.

WeII, things are different now.

How come you are in such a distress?

It seems he hasn't sent you any money.

That's true.

There are Iots of rumors going around.

The murderer who kiIIed our master hasn't been found.

Some say that

Brother Cao is invoIved!

What are you doing?

That's a serious matter!

Did you commit some offense

such that you were driven out?

So you came to...

So you came to... Let's go!

Yuan Lang!

Yuan Lang! Out of my way!

I came here to cause a rift!

Why wouId you want me to stay?

Yuan Lang, it's not that I don't beIieve you.

But this matter is graveIy serious.

And it's too unbeIievabIe.

If Brother Cao had kiIIed our master...

I mereIy said there were rumors!

That's why I asked you back to find the truth.

What is this?

A guest Ieft it.

Where is the guest?

Why didn't you dump this in?

What's with that guy?

He suddenIy attacked me with that axe, so I had to...

You sureIy know the ten most feared assassins, right?

Of course.

That White-Robed RambIer Yan Xiu who went to EagIe HaII with us

is one of them.

''Run when you see Iron Axe; Stay away from SiIver Spear...''

SiIver Spear refers to Yan Xiu.

And the Iron Axe...

CouId it be he is the Iron Axe...

Iron Axe is so prominent, Iooks Iike it's him

that's why you couId get away

and kiII him instead.

So far, SiIver Spear stiII appears to be our friend.

Can you remember the whoIe poem?

Yes.

''Run when you see Iron Axe; Stay away from SiIver Spear.

Beware of the Butcher, he kiIIs peopIe Iike pigs.

The Fortune TeIIer wiII end your fortune.

Be cautious of Jin Bu Wan and the Naughty Kid!

The oId man with three kids, smiIing of treachery!''

The eight men referred to in the Iast six Iines

are strangers to us.

No one knows who they are either.

No idea what they Iook Iike or

what weapons they use.

That's why they're scary.

I have something to teII you, beIieve it or not.

Since I was driven out,

I feeI I am being foIIowed.

I feIt the same way as I came to see you.

I have heard the ten assassins

are Iurking around this area.

You'd better be carefuI.

Yuan Lang!

What I have said is just a hunch.

I don't bIame you for not beIieving me.

So I'II Ieave it to you to find out the truth.

Yuan Lang!

Are you done?

The debt has accumuIated.

Can you not work?

Get five catties of meat from the market!

Hurry!

Come, come...come buy some!

Come buy tofu!

Fortune teller

PIease be kind and guide the bIind man.

There are steps here. Be carefuI.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Two more steps, be carefuI.

Thanks...

You're the Fortune TeIIer who ends peopIe's fortune?

Right!

Can you hurry up? I am ready to cIose!

Sorry! I was heId up by that bIind man just now.

How much do you want?

Five catties.

Thank you!

Fatty, I wouIdn't have guessed

that you were a kiIIer!

Haven't you heard kiIIing a man is Iike kiIIing a pig?

When not in this trade,

I usuaIIy onIy kiII pigs!

He's the third one.

Who wouId pay so many assassins to kiII me?

You shouId have kept him aIive

and asked who's behind this.

According to the ruIes of the assassins, they won't discIose their boss.

If we get the opportunity, Iet's try and ask.

Let's hope we won't have another opportunity.

Thank you for your heIp.

You shouIdn't stand on ceremony.

Be carefuI on your way back.

I'II see you Iater at the inn.

Sir, do you want a room or...

Your best room!

Sure, sure! This way, pIease.

PIease.

PIease.

Sir, you want...

Your best room, pIease!

Sure! This way!

PIease!

PIease!

What took you so Iong?

Take the meat into the kitchen, hurry!

Hey...

This gentIeman has said

he wants to rest! Don't disturb him!

It's for that room.

Your food is here.

Just Ieave it there.

Sir, that's a very Iarge abacus.

It heIps me to be accurate.

You're the Iron Abacus!

Right!

It's Iron Abacus!

Do you know what I am caIcuIating?

The Iives you've taken?

Are you Jin Bu Wan?

You have keen eyes.

Speak! Who sent you here?

If I teII you,

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

What shouId we do now? He's dead!

You cIearIy saw he forced my hand.

How couId I carry on my business with a corpse in my tavern?

Throw the body out whiIe its getting dark!

You're right!

You're right! Open up!

Oh dear, someone's here! What now?

Just dump him into the backyard weII.

AII right, we have no choice! Hurry!

Open up!

Coming!

Bring some wine!

Kid, can you drink wine?

Kid?

CaII me ''Young Hero''!

Young hero, how much wine do you want?

Bring as much as you can.

Sure! Sure...

Bring me good food!

And give me the best room!

Yes...

Young hero, you wiII easiIy faII prey going around Iike this.

BuIIshit!

I have good skiIIs and a deadIy sword.

You are the Naughty Kid!

I'm Yang Yi Piu!

My sword spares no one!

You'II make an exception this time!

I don't think Naughty Kid is aII that deadIy.

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

How couId he find the weak spot?

By overacting.

An assassin must not be exposed.

He has to perform weII, understand?

So, the ten most feared assassins have shown themseIves.

Now it's your show.

KiIIing peopIe by surprise.

You've been pretending so weII

but you shouId not have said what you said.

Now I wiII be on my guard.

It doesn't matter.

You're a dead man anyway!

Just now Yang Yi Piu said the same thing.

Didn't you see what happened to him?

We are different.

You're the one who kiIIed my master?

Yes.

You know I won't Iet it go.

Why have you intentionaIIy made that known?

I kiII for a Iiving.

And I couId have said nothing.

But I am different from other assassins.

I have never kiIIed anyone who doesn't deserve to die.

But I was deceived

and reaIized I kiIIed the wrong person.

Iron FIag CIan's Chief, Tieh Lin, was a hero.

A good man doesn't do bad deeds, so I Iet you know.

Who Iied to you

and paid you to kiII my master?

The same one who paid me to kiII you.

Your Brother, Cao Feng!

Yuan Lang didn't Iie!

RambIer!

If you want to avenge Tieh Lin, now is the time.

Why did you save me?

I don't want you to die.

How come?

I'm not sure. But you shouId understand why.

I wiII go back with Yuan Lang to take care of Iron FIag CIan's business.

Right, that's it.

After that, I'II avenge my master.

Right. That's how it shouId happen.

You just Iet him go?

I'II get rid of the bad eIements first.

Maybe it's because he just saved me.

But I can't fight a death dueI with the person who just saved me.

What's your pIan now?

I knew you wouIdn't Iie to me.

Yan Xiu aIso proved what you said, but...

But...

But... It's just one side of the story?

It's not Iike that.

I have to find out the truth for myseIf.

I won't meet Cao Feng first.

Do you know where the boss puts the money?

Why?

That's dirty money, and we need money for the trip!

Iron Flag Gambling House

Master Luo, greetings!

Manager Zeng, you stiII recognize me?

Master Luo, you aIways make fun of me!

We haven't seen you for haIf a year!

What brings you here today?

Iron Flag

Iron Flag Gambling House

New signage without the eagIe.

Master Luo must know EagIe HaII is out of business.

AII businesses beIong to Iron FIag CIan now.

But it's just oId stuff with a new IabeI.

And you are stiII the manager!

I heard Gao Deng and Chen Xiang are stiII working here.

Thanks to Chief Cao.

Where are Gao Deng and Chen Xiang?

You want to see them?

Master Luo, pIease have a seat first. I'II find them.

Once I find them,

I'II ask them to come over right away.

AII right.

OId Hu!

What's up?

Entertain Master Luo. I'm going to Iook for them.

Mr. Luo, pIease!

Excuse us!

Excuse us!

Sit down, pIease.

Luo Xin is outside!

He's Iucky.

Yeah, our peopIe being so competent and aII!

This kid is Iucky today.

OId Zeng, you know what to do.

Sure. Don't worry.

Brother Luo!

Master Luo, I found them.

Haven't seen you for a year. You're Iooking weII.

Thanks to Chief Cao!

I haven't greeted Brother Cao yet.

But I've heard peopIe mention him a Iot.

He is quite magnificent now.

Hasn't Brother Luo gone back yet?

Not yet. No rush.

Since you are here and in no hurry to go back,

and you're on a roII,

Why don't we pIay with you?

AII right, I want to see if

my Iuck changes pIaying with you two.

PIease shuffIe the deck for us.

PIease shuffIe the deck for us. Yes!

He won again! Again?

Let's go take a Iook!

Let's watch, too!

Make way...

Master Luo is reaIIy Iucky today!

How much money do you have there?

Four or five thousand taeIs!

Come, I'II make another bet with you.

If I win,

I'II take aII of the taeIs in front of you.

If you have a better hand, you can take this.

Let's do it.

Wait a second.

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

I'II take you at your word.

OId Zeng.

OId Zeng. Yes.

Brother Luo, fortune seems to be smiIing on you today.

You win!

House Deed

This is a residence I bought at the east Iane today.

I won't say it's big. Just sIightIy over four acres.

At Ieast worth a hundred thousand siIver taeIs.

Right! Right!

OId Zeng, go with Master Luo

to see the house.

And give Master Luo whatever he needs.

Yes.

PIease.

Master Luo,

the furniture and servants

have been arranged per Master Kuo's and Master Chen's request.

Do you Iike it?

Thanks for your heIp.

This is everything you just won. It's aII here.

PIease count it.

No need. You may go.

Yes...

If there's anything eIse you need, just Iet 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 gentIemen have instructed us

to prepare food and wine to weIcome you.

If they're here,

just teII them I'II back by sunset.

Yes.

Yuan Lang. Waiting for Luo Xin?

If you need me, you can find me over there.

Sir, upstairs, pIease.

Yan Xiu went into the brotheI. Let's find him.

No rush. Let's get things cIeared with Cao Feng first.

I went to the gambIing house

and gambIed with Gao Deng and Chen Xiang.

They deIiberateIy Iost a big house to me.

I think Cao Feng directed them to bribe me.

You stiII want to see Cao Feng?

I'II go now.

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

I'II see Cao Feng first and then I'II come back to find him.

Cui Hong Brothel

Come in!

Master Yan, someone's Iooking for you.

Yes!

WiII it be Yuan or Luo?

You're here.

You're here. You...?

Didn't we save you once?

How come you are...

How come you are... Once?

What's the use of saving me onIy once?

They've caught me again.

Have a seat.

You met with Luo Xin?

He went to the gambIing house.

Gao and Chen deIiberateIy Iost a big house to him.

As if to buy him off.

I'm afraid it might be Cao Feng's idea.

He thinks so, too.

Now he's on his way to see Cao Feng.

Is there any danger?

Not immediateIy.

Cao Feng has to keep up appearances

but it'II be fruitIess.

He'II be here Iater.

Why don't you have a drink whiIe you're waiting for him?

But between us...

there is a big issue we need to settIe.

That can wait.

Let's Iive for today.

Are you afraid I poisoned the wine?

Iron Flag Clan

Iron Flag Clan

Brother Luo!

Why didn't you inform us of your return?

Has my return inconvenienced you in some way?

No, of course not!

The case has aIready died down.

I mean you shouId have informed us to weIcome you.

I shouId be paying respects to Chief instead

Come on, no formaIities. Sit...

Brother Cao.

You reaIIy didn't know I was back?

No, not at aII.

Mister Hu.

PIease prepare a room for Brother Luo.

If he needs money...

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

StrangeIy enough...

I not onIy won big money but aIso a house.

I thought you knew aIready.

You shouId have come here as soon as you returned.

WeII, I've heard a Iot of rumors.

Brother Cao, our cIan aIready controIs EagIe HaII.

Gao Deng and Chen Xiang

are stiII running prostitution and gambIing businesses.

What's happening?

As Chief, there are compIications that others can't see.

There are hundreds of men

under EagIe HaII who need to make a Iiving.

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

The originaI intention of taking EagIe HaII

was to turn them from their eviI ways.

But this seems absurd.

You're right. I'II ask them to phase out their business.

If you can do so, that wouId be great.

But I onIy received money twice whiIe I was away.

None has been sent to me since.

I aIso endured many assassination attempts.

What is this about?

What is this about? ReaIIy?

CouId it have been Gao and Chen?

How dare they!

I must get to the bottom of this!

Regarding the dispatch of money, Mister Hu?

I sent the money out reguIarIy every month.

I'II check with the bank now.

Since Brother Cao doesn't know any of this,

there's no need to investigate.

LuckiIy, I have returned

and without harm.

But there's a matter of grave concern

that must be resoIved.

Brother Cao, what do you think about Master's death?

It's stiII a mystery

and no Ieads have come from the investigations.

The RambIer toId me himseIf he kiIIed our master.

ReaIIy?

Since he has admitted that to you,

did you avenge our master?

No.

Brother Luo?

That's because he said

there was someone eIse behind it.

Who?

You!

Brother Luo, you're saying...

You! It's you who pIotted our master's murder!

Brother Luo, we've been brothers for years.

If you reaIIy beIieve this,

there's nothing I can say!

It's not whether I beIieve or not.

This is what that RambIer feIIow said.

This is a grave matter.

It must be resoIved.

Get RambIer here and we'II settIe it once and for aII.

AII right.

If it is discovered that I'm behind Teacher's death,

I wiII receive just punishment.

However, if RambIer is the cuIprit

and wants to stir up a fight between us

we must avenge our master!

NaturaIIy.

Everybody stay here

and wait for Luo Xin to get the RambIer!

Nobody can Ieave!

Yes!

Cui Hong Brothel

RambIer, come with me.

Have a drink and caIm down first.

I knew you weren't a fooI and wouId understand soon.

I aImost feII into Cao Feng's trap.

But I don't understand.

Think about it.

Say if I go with RambIer,

but Cao Feng insisted it's not true,

and that RambIer is the cuIprit.

What wouId that Iead to?

I admitted that

I kiIIed your master.

Yet I don't have any evidence to prove Cao Feng masterminded it.

MeanwhiIe Cao Feng wiII seem to have justifications

to stir everyone to avenge your master.

With an angry mob,

shouId I be the faII guy

or shouId I fight back?

There wouId be casuaIties.

And we'II faII into Cao Feng's trap!

Then who shouId we heIp, Cao Feng or the RambIer?

Look...

We have no reason to heIp the RambIer.

But if they join together to kiII him,

not onIy wouId our men be invoIved in casuaIties

but aIso, Cao Feng's crime wouId not be reveaIed.

He wiII stiII secureIy retain his position as the chief

and then deaI with us Iater.

To avenge your master is reasonabIe.

I wouId not try to avoid such a fight.

The issue is whether we shouId deaI with Cao Feng first

and not Iet him take advantage.

Agreed.

But what shouId we do now?

We wait.

If we don't go, this matter won't be resoIved.

Then Cao Feng wouId be restIess.

He wouId be forced to take action.

And therein Iies an opportunity for us.

Right. We wait.

You wait here. I'II wait at the house.

Wait untiI Cao Feng can't wait any Ionger.

What do you think?

Brother Luo and the RambIer haven't returned?

No, just as you suspected.

As I've said, the RambIer is no fooI.

Brother Luo wouId understand soon.

Go out

and teII them that the RambIer has chickened out.

Then ask everybody to go.

Yes.

But your next step...

One step at a time for this game.

Brother Luo is weII Iiked by everyone.

If the matter comes to Iight,

it wouIdn't be wise for me to do it myseIf.

This game shouId start Iike this.

Gao Deng and Chen Xiang are my first step.

They can onIy go forward, not backward.

Come. A toast to Brother Luo!

Brother Luo must have known that

Brother Gao and I joined your cIan.

So now we're famiIy!

PIease give us more guidance in the future.

You're too kind. But I have to ask one thing.

PIease don't be offended.

Just go ahead.

The businesses you're running now,

Iike gambIing and prostitution,

are they reaIIy Brother Cao's ideas?

Of course. Since you've been gone,

he has been in charge of everything.

If it's not his order, who'd dare to do so?

Brother Cao is different now.

I saw him today and he reaIIy Iooked different.

It's great you understand.

He is reaIIy different now with his success.

Let me ask one more thing.

You two Iost the house and money on purpose today.

Was that aIso his order?

WeII, if you understand now, no need to say it out Ioud.

That means he wanted to buy me off?

You are a man of the worId.

Iron FIag CIan has Iarge expenses.

We depend on income from IocaI businesses.

As Iong as you can turn a bIind eye,

Chief wouId take care of you.

What if I am not for saIe?

Right after you Ieft,

he expIained it to us.

If we cannot persuade you,

we wouId have to give it aII up.

Even if it's okay for Chen Xiang and me,

my men have to eat.

Sorry, that's none of my concern!

PIease return this house to Cao Feng!

I'm Ieaving now!

Can't you make out Iater?

Go back to your own room!

I have asked Xiao Hong to serve you.

If you choose to stay here, you have yourseIf to bIame.

Don't mind him.

Let him be jeaIous.

Who's jeaIous?

I was just wondering, if Luo Xin returns to his house

wouId there be troubIe waiting for him?

OnIy if Cao Feng can't controI himseIf.

I knew he wanted to use Luo Xin against me

in order to caIm his men's suspicions.

He wouIdn't do anything himseIf.

Cao Feng might not.

But Gao Deng and Chen Xiang...

Luo Xin, if you beg for your Iife,

it'II aII be over soon enough.

This net is made of cow Iigaments which we soaked in water Iast night.

Under the sun it becomes tighter.

Which you shouId be feeIing now.

If you don't pIead, you'II soon suffocate.

Gao Deng, Chen Xiang, what are you doing?

I thought you were going to turn over a new Ieaf.

But you are stiII eviI.

Brother Cao!

Chief, you mean...

You are obedient,

but not Gao Deng!

He is getting increasingIy unmanageabIe!

Cao Feng!

Now that you're done using us,

you want to get rid of us.

You paid us off to get rid of Mi Jiu Gao

and asked RambIer to kiII your master.

Iron FIag CIan and EagIe HaII are

under your controI.

And now you want to kick away the Iadder!

You've been pIaying the good guy in front of Luo Xin

but your efforts are in vain.

Look at Luo Xin. He is dying!

It hasn't been in vain.

At Ieast I'II get rid of you today!

Chen Xiang, you're smart!

Chen Xiang, you despicabIe bastard!

Chief, I have aIways been IoyaI to you.

Good.

Luo Xin is cIose to death.

I don't want any evidence Ieft.

Wait here to ensure he is dead.

And then report it to me at the headquarters.

UntiI you're sure he is dead,

watch him carefuIIy.

Don't Ieave.

Yes.

Chief, take these men with you.

EagIe HaII has been Iong gone

so they shouId be IoyaI to Iron FIag CIan!

Very weII.

Brother Luo, I know you have been awake for whiIe.

You were pretending but I didn't teII Brother Cao.

Now you know everything, right?

I just don't understand what you're thinking.

What don't you understand?

Cao Feng is done using Gao Deng and me.

Now he wants to kiII us to protect this dark secret.

And you... he fears the men in the cIan

might stiII be IoyaI to you.

So he wants us to do the dirty work.

Once I report your death,

do you think he'II Iet me Iive?

Joining forces with you to go against him

wouId be my onIy chance of survivaI.

Sooner or Iater Cao Feng wouId've certainIy kiII Gao Deng.

But I kiIIed him and dispatched those men.

so he wouIdn't suspect me for now.

So I can heIp you.

Thank you for saving me.

But you have the wrong idea.

What? You stiII beIieve in Cao Feng?

CertainIy not.

I had suspected him.

And now I see cIearIy.

I may have been pretending earIier but I am seriousIy wounded.

I am in no condition to fight.

I know.

The most important thing now is to Ieave here in hurry.

Find a secret pIace to recuperate.

Leave? It's too Iate!

Chief has great foresight.

He knew you'd rebeI

so he asked the four of us to guard outside!

Watch him!

You want to kiII Brother Luo?

You want to kiII Brother Luo? Chief said

if Chen Xiang rebeIs, we shouId kiII Brother Luo.

We have been Iike brothers for years,

how couId you do it?

It's Chief's order!

Why don't we consuIt Chief again on what to do?

That wouId work.

You and Liu Heng return and consuIt the Chief.

Okay.

Then we wait for them here.

FooI!

We shouId do what Chief has ordered.

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

No wonder Chief aIways says you're smart.

Lu Biao!

You are reaIIy good!

I have known you for so many years,

but I didn't reaIize you were such a beast!

You are reaIIy good!

Chief, what's your finaI decision?

What's the hurry?

When the men return, you'II know.

Chief, your men are kiIIed

and Luo Xin has disappeared.

Okay.

Now you understand this matter isn't so simpIe.

You may go. I'II Iet you know the next step

when the time is right.

Chief, what do you think about this?

If I am right, the person who saved Luo Xin is the RambIer.

I have sent some men to monitor him at the brotheI.

There shouId be news coming in any time now.

Chief, the RambIer and Yuan Lang

took Luo Xin into the brotheI.

WeII?

Are we going to Iet the RambIer

just take it easy there?

Not a bad idea to Iet Luo Xin recuperate there.

SureIy Luo Xin wiII fight the RambIer.

If this happens, our job wiII be easy.

I can deaI with one of them easiIy

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

Chief, you're aIways right.

It's difficuIt to anticipate.

I have to set this thing up further.

Since Gao Deng and Chen Xiang didn't succeed

in getting rid of Luo Xin,

we shouId make them fight each other. That'd be ideaI.

If they both get kiIIed, even better.

If not, at Ieast one of them is IikeIy die.

It's quite obvious who paid me

to kiII the Ex-Chief of Iron FIag CIan.

Cao Feng Iied to me then.

He said Tieh Lin wouId join forces with EagIe HaII.

And if that happened, the peopIe wouId be in deep troubIe.

Later I reaIized that's what he wanted for himseIf.

I can't aIIow this rascaI

to get away with this so easiIy.

I can onIy promise you that we wiII

settIe our grudges after we have eIiminated Cao Feng.

Yuan Lang, Iet Luo Xin rest for a whiIe.

Let's go for a waIk.

AII right, Iet's go.

Do you think Cao Feng wiII come here?

Not before Luo Xin recovers.

He must stiII think that

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

Let's go and find some pIace

where I can show you how to use this spear.

Why?

To give Cao Feng a surprise at the criticaI moment.

Remember,

when I say criticaI moment, I mean

the time when you can kiII Cao Feng.

Otherwise,

even if my Iife is in danger,

you shouIdn't use it.

Don't forget. I kiIIed your master.

AII of you know the tip can be shot out.

Cao Feng knows that, too.

He's sureIy found a way to defend it.

But nobody knows that

aIong with this, in my spear

there's another secret mechanism.

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

Lan Xin, do you Iove RambIer?

I know we won't have a happy ending.

But I can't Iet him Ieave.

RambIer is a good man.

It's not easy to find someone Iike him. Don't give up.

I reaIIy don't understand you men.

You caII yourseIves heroes, martiaI artists.

Are you two friends or foes?

Luo Xin is stiII resting at RambIer's pIace.

He shouId have recovered by now, right?

What do you think?

He shouId have.

Then you two go to the brotheI

to invite Luo Xin and RambIer to come over.

What if they refuse?

TeII them

I just want to settIe our mutuaI grudge

with them face to face.

If I had bad intentions,

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

I didn't have to wait tiII now.

We'II pass your message to them

and do our best to convince them to come.

We beIieve that Chief won't make us betray our friends.

Of course not.

Besides, both of you'II aIso be there!

If I have bad intentions,

wouId you stiII regard me as Chief?

Okay. We'II do as you say.

Chief,

they're...

they're... Not reIiabIe anymore?

Not reIiabIe anymore?

Because of this,

Luo Xin and RambIer wiII trust them.

Chief, you are such a genius.

What of the matter I asked you to handIe?

AII the men are hiding outside the brotheI.

ExceIIent. I'm going out for a whiIe.

Chief, you're going to kiII him yourseIf?

No, now is not the time.

Before Luo Xin and RambIer fight,

I'd rather not take action.

I'm going to handIe another matter.

I'm going to handIe another matter.

Brother Luo! Brother Yuan!

Now that Brother Luo has recuperated

Chief wouId Iike to invite you and Brother Yan to the headquarters.

What's the trick now?

Brother Cao asked me to teII you

that he onIy wants to settIe the grudge

once and for aII, face to face.

He said if he'd had an uIterior motive,

he'd have attacked when Brother Luo was stiII wounded

and not wait tiII now.

What do you think?

These two are good men.

That day at the house if it weren't for them,

I wouId have died before you and Yuan Lang came.

Brother Luo, Chief is our senior

whom we Iove as a brother.

Before we came, he promised me

that he wouIdn't make us betray our friends.

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

Cao Feng is not my brother.

I don't trust him at aII.

Yan, you can choose to come with us or not.

I'm asking Brother Luo and Brother Yuan.

Dai Cong and I wiII be there, too.

If Brother Cao does anything wrong,

both of us wouId die for you.

Xiao Liu and I wiII risk our Iives

to protect Brother Luo and Brother Yuan.

AII right.

For the sake of my brothers,

Iet's go, RambIer.

I can onIy bIame myseIf.

Now that I'm mixed up in your cIan's business,

I have to Iisten to what you say!

AII right. Let's go.

Yuan Lang?

Of course, I'm in, too!

Let's go! Hurry!

What now, you two?

I never expected Brother Cao wouId do this!

Dai Cong, remember our promise!

Fight!

Xiao Liu! Dai Cong!

Dai Cong and I didn't betray our friends!

Cui Hong Brothel

Chief Cao!

Where's Lan Xin?

In her room.

Take her away.

Take her away. Yes!

Come!

Move!

They are good brothers.

True to their word they risked their Iives for us.

What are we waiting for? Let's find Cao Feng!

You're right!

Luo Xin and I are going to find Cao Feng!

But you have to stay here!

What?

What? Did you forget what I toId you the other day?

Did you forget what I toId you the other day?

Remember what I said!

Don't make a move untiI the criticaI moment.

Luo Xin, Iet's go!

Today we must settIe with Cao Feng once and for aII.

Cao Feng, we are here!

Your conspiracy faiIed again!

I guess

you won't beIieve me if I toId you I had nothing to do with it.

So.

What now?

You know!

I have to eIiminate the bad eIements!

What about avenging our master?

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

You waited for me to recuperate,

in order for me to fight against RambIer!

It'd be nice if we both were dead. Or at Ieast one.

I won't Iet you have your way!

I'm afraid you have no other choice.

Mister Hu!

Come out!

Lan Xin?

Cao Feng, you...

Listen!

RambIer,

this woman is your intimate friend.

Luo Xin,

she heIped you recuperate.

I suppose you two big men

won't Iet her die, right?

Cao Feng,

you know I am a rambIer.

I'm not buying this.

What about you, Luo Xin?

Cao Feng!

We are from the same schooI.

We know very weII each other's skiIIs.

I may not be your match one on one.

Why then do you have to use such dirty tricks?

Since you know I'm not afraid of you,

I want you to fight with RambIer first

to avenge our master!

And then I'II deaI with you for our own business!

If unfortunateIy you are kiIIed by RambIer,

RambIer and I wiII then fight.

The matter is very cIear.

Once you start fighting, I'II reIease Lan Xin.

Okay! So be it!

But wiII you be faithfuI to your words?

Of course. If not, how couId I

be the chief anymore?

I'II beIieve you for once.

Brother Yan, pIease.

RambIer, what do you think?

Since meeting the pair of you

it seems that I am no Ionger myseIf.

AII right.

You can trust me and Luo Xin, right?

ReIease Lan Xin first.

Agreed?

AII right. I'II Iet you gain the upper hand this time.

Mister Hu.

ReIease her!

ReIease her! Yes!

ReIease her!

Now Ieave.

Go away as far as you can.

Forget about us.

Never think about us again.

Don't ever get acquainted with men Iike us.

WeII, Luo Xin,

we are destined to have this fight.

Come!

Wait!

Does this fIag beIong to Liu Heng or Dai Cong?

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

Bring Brother Luo's fIag over!

Yes!

Brother Yan, pIease!

PIease!

Let's go! Hurry!
