Seven gone, six returned!
Mother, it looks like the battle of Jinsha was...
...utterly to our disadvantage
According to this prediction...
we might lose a brother
Yes
But it's worthwhile to sacrifice one son
...for the sake of Sung Dynasty
As for my seven sons
I wonder which one will be a martyr
The queen's father is here
Daughter, I've bad news. Your brother...
Your highness
Arise
Thank you, my queen
What is it, father?
Your brother Pan Bao
...was beaten to death in a tournament
My brother's dead? Who killed him?
Yang Ye's seventh son, Yang Si
Yang Si? Father, I must...
My queen
Leave now
Yes, my lady
I'll plead with the emperor to condemn him
No, that's not the way to do it
Yang Ye has a secured position in the court
We must get rid of the Yang family
What's your suggestion, father?
We'll kill them all at the Jinsha battle
Kill
Forge ahead
Charge
Impressive spear-wielding of the Yang family
It has lived up to its reputation
Today is your doom day
Traitor
5th brother...
6th brother...
Eldest brother
Kill
Tartars
3rd brother
Let's go
Kill
3rd brother
Wait, catch him alive
Bring him back
2nd brother
Yang Ye
Pan Mei
Arrows
7th son
Traitor!
Shoot
Loyalty... kill
Charge
7th brother, father...
Father, we're a family of loyalty
Why would the emperor listen to the traitors
...and sent us into the trap?
This is the end for us
Traitor, Tartars
Come out, all of you...
I've found them...
6th brother...
Stop it
No, not them
Kill
6th brother...
Mother...
Good day, mother
Don't worry too much, mother
Father and our seven brothers will
...certainly win the Jinsha battle
That's right, mother
With our spear-wielding second to none
Stop it, 9th sister
The Tartars
...would be terror-stricken
But there's no news up to now
Pan Mei's sudden plea to the emperor
and he assigned our family to the north
There must be something going on
The prediction says seven gone, six returned
Could there be another interpretation?
- 6th brother - Son
Come out here, Tartars
They've come back from a victory
Son, where's your father?
Pan Mei...
Where are your brothers?
Traitor
Son, where're your brothers?
Tell us
Go on
Sixth brother
What are you doing?
Sixth brother
Sixth son...
Focus, my child
Tell me
what happened?
Right, tell our mother
Why are you here alone?
I'm home?
Yes, you're home
How many Tartars have you killed, brother?
Tell me
Kill
How many? Not one
Jinsha Battle was a trap
Pan Mei... you wanted to kill us all
My eldest brother was stabbed to death
Second brother got cut into half
Third brother died even more tragically
He was trampled to death by men and horses
Fourth brother was captured
Fifth brother is missing
And my baby brother was killed by arrows
Mother
What about your father?
Killed at Liling Tomb. Father...
Yang Ye
Why are you kneeling? I will too
Pan Mei
Sixth son...
Seven gone, six returned!
The battle of Jinsha
only my sixth son returns; it's fate
Prince, what can I do for you?
Pan Mei, according to our plan
We've wiped out the Yangs at Jinsha
Why haven't you kept your promise...
of withdrawing the Sung army at the border?
So that my Liao troops can march straight in?
You have my absolute loyalty
But I've one concern
Yangs' fifth and sixth sons are still alive
Men
Prince
Our plan was perfect
Our weapons were made to counter the Yang spears
How could they manage to escape?
You should give them a second chance
...to make it up
We must deal with this soon
If they make a comeback...
it will affect our invasive strategy
We'll try to intercept them from different directions
We've got to uproot the Yangs
Tartar
You robber
Are you a deserter from the Yang family?
No, I'm not a deserter
No? What are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
None of your business. Who are you?
Who am I? I live here
I'm a hunter
Sorry about it
Warrior, I mistook you for the enemy
So you're fighting the Tartars
That's right, after the battle of Jinsha
We got ambushed
No wonder you're hiding here
No, I'm not afraid to die
If not...
then what are you doing here?
The Queen's father set up a trap to kill us
Pan Mei used to be in the same camp as Yang Ye
Yes, we'd never have thought that
...he would try to kill us all at Jinsha
Yang warrior, let me tell you
I was a general working for Pan Mei
I know him well
He has always been jealous of your family
...for the outstanding service to the country
He's afraid that his status will be threatened
Then he worked with the Tartars to ruin your family
Pan Mei, you traitor!
I'll risk my life to testify against him
I want him torn to pieces
You won't have the chance to do that now
Right
He and the Tartars are on my trail
He wants to kill you all
Yes
My brothers are dead
My father Yang Ye died at the Liling Tomb
I'm the only survivor
General Yang
Yes, I hope you can give me a hand
...and testify against Pan Mei
There's no use, General Yang
Pan Mei is now in power
The Emperor won't listen to me
He will, after the disaster at Jinsha
I witnessed that
You're the only survivor
But what proof have you got?
Our family is loyal to the emperor, he'll trust me
You're over confident, General Yang
Say even if Pan Mei doesn't capture you...
he will surely accuse you
He'll accuse you of being a traitor and a deserter
You have a point
The emperor has issued out decree stating that...
I'm a traitor
If the emperor says so
What's the point of going back?
I can�t just sit here and see my country...
Your country doesn't appreciate your loyalty
Then to avenge for my family...
You must, but this isn't the time yet
Wait for your time
Learn from me. Forget about it for now
I can't
Surround it
Go through the tunnel
I must fight my way out
He ran into the tunnel...
Where's Yang's fifth son?
Don't know
Search
Yes
Give him up if you want to live
He's gone
Go
After him
Sixth brother
Leave him alone
Let him have his peace
...and hope that he'll recover soon
Knock
Yes
Open up, open...
Who is it?
Who dares to knock so rudely?
Who?
An imperial edict
Who's the envoy?
General Pan Mei, the Queen's father
Pan Mei
Traitor
Sixth brother
Pull him inside, hurry
I'll kill you
I'll kill Pan Mei
Open the door
Search
Yes
How dare you?
General Pan
Our family is in mourning!
How could you disturb us now?
I'm here to arrest the traitors
Who?
I've led the Yang family troops to Jinsha
and discovered that your family haven't fought
...their best. They're in conspiracy with Tartars
The emperor has ordered for their arrests
Ordered for the arrests?
Ours is a family of patriots. The Emperor...
has bestowed on us "Family of Loyalty" and has...
given me this dragon-head staff to rid the wicked
Mrs. Yang, you...
General Pan, just do your job
My husband and my seven sons were ambushed
...in Jinsha battle. They're all dead!
You should have checked first as to...
who is it that you are trying to arrest here!
This is our family's hall of fame
We take no intrusion
According to my sources, two are still at large
Who?
Your fifth and sixth sons
If they're still alive
and upon their return home...
I'll personally escort them to the court
Please let the emperor know that
I will be just. See the guest out
Yes
Please, General Pan
Fine, Mrs. Yang. Goodbye
Mother
My fifth son, where could you be now?
Kill
Warrior, you laid down your life for me
I understand you are hoping I'll stay alive
So that I can avenge for our country
You are right
The country won't appreciate my loyalty.
I'd rather live as a hermit and wait for the right time
Kill
Master... please don't...
Kill
Sixth son...
You Tartars
Sixth brother
Back off, you both
Let him vent his anger
Kill
Sixth brother
You...
I'm devoting myself to Buddha
You are...
I'll shave my head to become a monk
Our temple is in the middle of nowhere
You came a long way to our temple
What could we do for you?
Master, I've decided to become a monk
I am ready for it
Amitabha Buddha
You have anger and sadness in your eyes
I think this is an impulsive decision
Please wait, master
Why don't you ask who I am?
Amitabha Buddha
I'm a monk. Worldly affairs don't concern me
There's no need to ask
Mister
I'm Yang fifth, an accused traitor
Please don't lie before the Buddha
Master, I'm indeed Yang fifth
No, you're not
I am
A bladeless spear?
This can't be the Yang's spear
Please don't again falsely claim to be a Yang General
I truly am Yang fifth
Yang fifth?
Mr. Yang, please forgive my rudeness
Master
I can't go home and I can't avenge my country
I broke the blade, and decided to become a monk
You have your heart set in the worldly matters
You can't proceed with the tonsure ceremony
Master
I want to shave my head
Please don't stop me
Master
Please don't stop me
I want to be a monk
Promise me you'll shave my head
Don't be rude
Our temple is a place of sanctuary
You should be on the battlefield
A victor can live a glorious life
But what if he loses his battle?
The dead is unkind, the living disloyal
Amitabha Buddha
We are free from the mundane world's matters
I hope to start afresh here
You have hatred; and are very depressed
Perhaps you shouldn't be here
You're too barbaric
Very impressive
I want my head shaved
The hair is on HIS head
If he doesn't want them, no one could stop him
Yes, abbot
Thank you, abbot
Buddha of immeasurable Life
Amitabha Buddha
Revered abbot, you lied
Why don't you shave my head?
If you don't...
Then I'll burn down your temple
5th brother
Mother, the sixth brother is still deranged
He's in no state to testify against Pan Mei
Under the circumstances...
Our family name is being smeared
9th sister
6th brother, pull yourself together
We must testify against Pan Mei
Let's go
6th brother, we're in mourning now
We can't go to meet the emperor
6th son
I must go
6th son
Kill...
General Yang, you're awake?
Is this the Qingliang Temple?
Yes, this is the backyard
Then I've become a monk
I've become a monk!
General Yang, please stay put
You haven't eaten in days
I've been in a coma for that long?
Bring in some food
General Yang, the abbot has ordered that...
after you get better, you've to leave the temple
Tell your abbot
I'm now a monk
And I ain't gonna leave this place
Got it?
No wonder the abbot says...
What?
He said you can't be a monk
I can't, huh?
What are you doing here?
Agreed, I don't have a peaceful mind needed for...
chanting scriptures, but I could be a guard here
and practice with the others?
This exercise room is a place for the monks
You have no Buddha in your heart
How could you practice with us?
Don't worry
Although I'm not in peace
But I'm an experienced soldier
I'm not afraid of the wolves
Yang fifth
When you are hitting these wolves
...you've got to attack their limbs
So that the others can smell the blood
And know about the danger
Then they wouldn't dare to come back
You're wrong
Even the wolves are trespassing our garden
But as monks we mustn't kill
We would only de-fang them
No matter how fierce the wolves are...
without their teeth they are nothing
And we'd have taught them a lesson
Then they wouldn't dare to come back
Here we practice the poles
Hence we're skilled to de-fang them
Hence the name: The "Club to de-fang the wolves"
That's wrong
If you knock off their teeth
...and not kill them;
They'd gather their strength after they recover
...return to strike again
How many monks
...can face them then?
I can see that you're still blood thirsty
Master, I simply
wish to be a monk guarding the temple
I don't aspire to be a student like you
Since you've taken me in
Why don't you let me practice with you?
Are you challenging me?
You're right
But he has got his point
All he has in mind is for...
the best interest of the temple
With the way he thinks...
He has already broken our rule of 'no killing'
Masters, I'm reckless because
...I'm unacquainted with the rules
Please allow me to learn from scratch
Your Yang's Spears style
Every move is fatal
You must first cultivate your mind...
before you practice in the exercise room
