You drink it
"Cui Hong brothel"
What's inside the bag?
How come it's moving?
Of course it is, it's alive
Can I have a look?
There are lots in there, go ahead and look
I've got it, you are talking about women
You're smart
Brother Luo, let's go and have a look
Customer
Gentlemen
Oh, it's Master Luo and Master Yuan of Iron Flag Clan
Honored guests
Please come in, prepare tea
Ladies, come serve the guests
Manager Liang, hold it
We saw some live stuff outside
and would like to take a look
That one
Bring her in
This... new person from the country side
I'm afraid she can't serve you good
Please choose another girl
What if we insist?
Bring her in, hear that?
I see you like fresh girls
Bring her in
Put her here
Do you know them?
They are heroes
This is Master Luo, Iron Leopard, of Iron Flag Clan
Master Yuan Lang, Iron Monkey
Go and greet him
Yes
Master Luo, Master Yuan
Open it
If they cause
you any embarrassment or displeasure
please give some face to Eagle Hall
please pardon them
We know this is Eagle Hall's business
Open it
What's the matter?
Open it...
What are you looking at? Is she your sister?
Your name?
Huang
Are you the eighth?
A lady Huang outside said
if her husband is inside
ask him to hurry back
Yes
Sorry... it's nothing... go back
What's your name?
Lan Xin
How did you get here?
They grabbed me here
Manager Liang, this isn't right
to abduct a girl and force her into prostitution
Not really... her family owes us money
It's an offence to be a loan shark
You can go
What?
Go on, no one dares to stop you
Thank you
Brother, let's have fun with someone more alive
What do you think?
Good idea
Wrap him in a carpet and take him with us
Move
Do it, quick
Where to?
Eagle Hall's gambling house
"Eagle gambling house"
Master Luo and Master Yuan
What brings you here?
We want to play a few hands, well?
Sure, please
Alright, get lost, you have no more business here
Yes
What would you like to play?
Let's bet on this living treasure
Living treasure?
We're talking of high stakes here
You better ask manager Zeng here
Yes...
Manager Zang, we want to play a few hands
The stakes are high, do you accept?
Yes... of course
we run a gambling house
That's good
Today we bet on this living treasure
What?
Could I have a look first?
Of course
Manager Liang?
This is our stake
This is the brain
very useful, it could conjure up devious ideas at times
This should worth a hundred taels of silver
What if you lose?
If we do
then this is yours
Zeng, don't let them lose
Roll the dice
Zeng
Shut up
Mine
Damn, 2 points, we're sure to lose
Two points
Quick, I can afford to lose
Yes
I have zero points, you win
Not bad
You win
Still want to go on?
Of course, luck's on our side
A hundred taels?
Who says so? Bet on manager Liang's hands
Two points again
That's better than before, one point
Not bad, ought to continue...
Manager Liang's feet
Four hundred taels
His heart and liver
What is it worth?
Relax, it's black and rotten
not worth more than a few dimes
I've lost
Zeng
I've lost
Right, we've lost his heart and liver
Give it to him
Don't...
What do you mean?
We ain't amongst those who lose without paying
I'm still thinking who's the one with guts here!
So it's Iron Leopard Master Luo Xin
and Iron Monkey Master Yuan Lang
You are Chen Xiang the Flying Eagle?
Another Eagle!
Manager Liang, sorry
Eagle Gao Deng
Right
Iron Tiger Cao Feng
The three heroes of Iron Flag Clan are here
Right, he is our senior
You're in for the worse
Let's go
Teacher
"Iron Flag Clan"
Have you caused trouble at Eagle Hall?
If it weren't for Brother Cao
I would have torched the place
It's not that simple
it's not your own domain so you should leave quickly
Teacher, Eagle Hall carries on all immoral activities
and should be eliminated
Mi Jiu Gao of Eagle Hall has sent someone to see you
Ask him in
Yes
Master Mi said there's good & bad guys at Eagle Hall
There are things that he may not be aware of
Thank you for lecturing them
he is grateful to you
So he'd like to send you all an invitation
and reconcile with each other
In the banquet we will
openly apologize to you
Master Mi is too kind
You wait outside for a moment please
We will tell you if we will come or not
Yes
Please
Could it be true Master Mi isn't aware what's going on?
Openly apologize? Does he take us for kids?
If we don't go it will be a sign of weakness
I think we should capitalize on their plan
Speak
Pretty soon only our Clan or Eagle Hall will survive
I have prepared a secret weapon for this
We'll pretend we are going without preparation
but with the real intention to penetrate their grounds
Teacher and we three will lead our four fighters
and together with my secret weapon
surprise them
and eventually eliminate them
Your secret weapon is...
The White Robed Rambler Yan Xiu
He is here
Yes
Please
It's him?
Teacher
He is the White Robed Rambler
Your fame precedes you
Thank you, I have heard your great name
in the martial arts world
and it's a pleasure to meet you today
Please
These are my brothers
We've met
Over at the brothel
That's why he's called Rambler
I've heard it takes a lot of money
to hire your services
It also depends on what services they are
This time at the brothel
he has seen all the immortal activities of
Eagle Hall and is willing to help out without reward
Would that be unprofitable business for you?
It even means you have to pay the expenses
Right, it's agreed then
Liu Heng
Tell the men sent by Mi Jiu Gao that we shall
attend the banquet tomorrow
Yes
"Eagle Hall"
Fourteen Eagles
Yes
Hide at the back
When I ask for more wine
that's your signal
Yes
Instruct the men at the door
to search them first
If they are armed, attack them at once
Yes
They're here
Chief Tieh, are your men armed?
You could tell that immediately
You want to search us?
I dare not
They are not armed
Welcome
You are a hero indeed
Thank you for your invitation
Please... have a seat
Let's toast
Cheers
My two students
acted in misconduct
and I must thank you for teaching them
I have already admonished them
never again to engage in such illegal business
I appreciate your readiness to accept friendly advice
Thanks for the compliments
Gao Deng, Chen Xiang
toast to Chief Tieh and his students
and amend your ways from now on
Cheers
Cheers again
Please
Where have they gone?
Don't they know we're out of wine?
Chen Xiang, ask for a refill
Yes
Refill the wine
Chief Mi, what do you mean by this?
Don't you realize that
there'll never be any free lunches?
You can't leave here today
Attack and don't let anyone get away
You are the White Robed Rambler Yan Xiu?
Exactly, Chief Tieh knew
there'll never be any free lunches
So he asked me to be an unwelcome guest
Your time has come
Teacher
I was ambushed at the back
It is powerful and shoots with a spring
Teacher
After I am gone, the Clan should be...
Teacher, who should in charge of our Clan?
You...
Teacher
Carry his corpse back
Yes
Put the corpse
properly at the back
For us right now there are three important things
First thing obviously is to give Chief a proper burial
then we should find the murderer and avenge our Chief
Finally we should nominate a new Chief
not only to take care of the other two matters
but to promote and build our school
and not let any rascals
undermine our school because of teacher's death
Brother Cao is right
What are your views
regarding selection of the new Chief?
As teacher is dead, Brother Cao is the senior
so he should be the Chief
We've to think carefully about such an important matter
The old saying says the senior should be the leader
Another should be elected if this doesn't work out
it shouldn't necessarily fall on the most senior person
Brother Cao is the most senior and most eligible
Besides, before teacher died
Cao was asking him who should be the Chief
and Teacher said 'You'
So you have his blessings and should be our Chief
I am not against Brother Cao
but regarding teacher's choice
when he was asked about his successor
he was looking at Brother Luo
So it is a good choice for brother Luo to be the Chief
It should be brother Cao
Right
It was Master's intention to nominate Brother Luo
So we should follow that
Brother Yuan said teacher was looking at Brother Luo
but I didn't see that
I only heard him say 'you' to Brother Cao
I saw it
Alright, stop this
We are all close like brothers, and
teacher has just passed away, yet we fight over this
As Brother Cao is the most senior
so he could be our Chief
But teacher...
Brother Yuan, teacher met his fate in a wink
so nobody knows exactly what's his intention
It's best to let the most senior person succeed him
We should all invite
Brother Cao to be our Chief
Brother Cao, please accept the position
Brother Luo
If you refuse there'll be more conflict
please have regard for the general good
Right, since Brother Luo put this in such a way
in light of the current complications
I will take the position
Brother Cao, Constable Huang, Constable Jiang is here
Ask them in
Yes
Things sure happen fast
Please
Gentlemen, please sit
That's fine, we're on business
I heard Chief Tieh has died
and wonder who is now in charge
Brother Cao is the new Chief
We must congratulate Brother Cao on the new appointment
but this matter
is really putting us in a difficult situation
We owe you gentlemen some favors
so please tell us how we could help you
Eagle Hall's Gao Deng and Chen Xiang
put in a charge against your Clan
saying you are guilty of a gang attack
and killed Eagle Hall's Chief and many of his men
What about the death of our own Chief?
We have always turned the other way
when it comes to these conflicts between schools
but this time Eagle Hall has broken the practice
and made a complaint against you
So we cannot neglect it
Although both sides have suffered,
they have suffered more losses
When this matter goes to court...
Could I alone be involved
to spare the others?
This is one of the choice
But you're the new Chief and have great responsibility
I have to fulfill my duties and have no choice
I am sorry
Gentlemen, Brother Cao cannot go
Can we find someone else to be the fall guy?
Someone else? Who?
Someone with a minor role
they won't let it go
For example...
For example someone of your status
would be more like it
Then I'll be the fall guy
Brother Luo
it's better for me to go than Brother Cao
It's just a small token
You're too kind
besides, we must resolve this issue officially
Of course... that's right
Were we to say Brother Luo escaped in guilt
what would the authorities do?
Then there'll be a warrant for his arrest
in every town and county
That's standard procedure
But would they really arrest him?
Brother Cao, this might work
Brother Luo should go far from here
After a year or so the matter should die down
Right, we'll do accordingly
Brother Luo should leave immediately
if he bumped into other officers
then there'll be trouble
Yes...
Brother Luo, I think...
Farewell
Thank you
Brother Yuan, please see them off
Please
I little thought matters would come to this
Brother Luo, be very careful
you needn't worry as long as I am here
After a year or so
we would meet again
With you here of course I am relieved
I'll see you when the matter has died down
Mister Hu
How much is there in the coffers
Bring it all here for Brother Luo
We've given all our cash
to those two officers
Give all the rest to Brother Luo
Yes
Luo, when you have found a place to settle down
write to me
so I could send you money regularly
Thank you
"Lok Tian Inn"
Sir, inside please
What would you like?
Lodgings
Be nimble
You're so lackadaisical
You were more energetic when you first came
After two months you owe rent and food money
and now you're worse than me
Hurry
Well? Do you need a good beating?
Any news?
No money has been sent to you yet
This is hopeless
My treat
What would you like, sirs?
Some wine and meat
Sure. Customers are here
go and wash up at the back
Lazy bones
Please have a seat
What would you like?
Inside please...
Coming...
Over here
What would you like?
"Good business"
Waiter
Coming...
This is yours, enjoy...
Thirty three cents
Twenty three cents
3.3 cents
Two
Four, six, three...
Does the man I am looking for live here?
Is the man you're looking for called Luo Xin?
Right, he lives here
That's good then
Yuan Lang
Brother Luo
Your friend's bill comes to forty eight cents
Pay them quickly
I also owe them rent and food money, let's go
I have a lot to talk to you about
You haven't? Neither have I
Haven't you come to deliver money to me?
No, I...
I also have a lot to say to you
If you have something to say,
pay up and you could take your time and chat
What are you doing? You...
Boss, I'll work to
pay off what we owe
We are busy now, don't bother us
Alright
What's up?
We have been driven out of the Clan
Brother Cao and Gao Deng, Chen Xiang jointly
run prostitution and gambling businesses, and they're
even worse than when Mi Jiu Gao was in charge
I was indignant and said strong words
as a result I was driven out
That's why I have come to bring you back
You... don't believe me?
We are brothers, why wouldn't I believe you?
Brother Cao has always been righteous
and he doesn't appear to be such kind of a person
Well, it's different now
How come you are in such a distress?
It seems he hasn't sent you any money
That's true
There are lots of rumors going around
Teacher's murderer hasn't been found
Some say Brother Cao is involved
What are you doing?
It's a serious matter
Did you commit some offence
such that you were driven out?
Let go
Yuan Lang
Out of my way
I have come here to cause a rift
why do you want me to stay?
It's not that I don't believe you
but this matter involves grave issues
and is incredible
If Brother Cao has killed teacher...
I only said there are such rumors
and that's why I ask you back to find the truth
What is this?
A guest left this
Where is he?
Why didn't you dump it too?
What's with that guy?
He suddenly attacked me with an axe, so I...
You surely know the ten most feared assassins
Of course
That White Robed Rambler Yan Xiu who went with us
to Eagle Hall
is one of them
Run when you meet Iron Axe and stay away from
Silver Spear; Silver Spear refers to Yan Xiu
Then this Iron Axe...
Could it be he is the Iron Axe...
Iron Axe is so prominent, looks like it's him
that's why you could get away
and killed him instead
Until now silver Spear still appears to be our friend
Could you remember the poem?
Yes
Run when you meet Iron Axe or silver Spear
Beware of the Butcher and the Fortune Teller
Be cautious of Jin Bu Wan and the Naughty Kid
An old man with three kids, smiling of treachery
The eight men referred to in the last six lines
are strangers to us
and no one knows who they are
and what they look like
what weapons they use, this is the terrible part
I have something to tell you, believe it or not
When I was driven out
I felt I was followed
I felt the same way when I came to see you
I have heard the ten assassins
are lurking around these parts
you'd better be careful
Yuan Lang
What I have said is prima facie
I don't blame you for not believing me
so I leave it to you to find out the truth
Yuan Lang
Are you done?
The debt has accumulated
could you not work?
Get five catties of meat from the market
Hurry
Come, buy...
Buy our bean curd
"Fortune teller"
Be kind and guide the blind man
There are steps here, careful
Thanks...
Go, let's go
Two more steps, be careful
Thanks...
The deadly Fortune Teller
Right
Hurry, I am ready to close
Sorry
I was held up by that blind man just now
How much?
Five catties
Sorry
Fatty, I little thought
you are a killer
Haven't you heard killing a man is like killing a pig?
When not in this trade
I usually killed only pigs
He's the third one
Who would pay so many assassins to kill me?
You should have kept him alive
and asked who's behind this
According to rules of the assassins
they won't disclose their boss
If we have the opportunity let's try to ask
Let's hope we wouldn't have the opportunity
Thank you for your help just now
You shouldn't stand on ceremony
be careful on your return
I'll look you up later
Sir, did you want a room or...
Your best room please
Yes... this way
Please
Sir...
Your best room please
Yes, please
Please
What took you so long?
Bring it into the kitchen
Hey...
This gentleman has instructed
he is not to be disturbed
The food is here
Leave it here
You use a large abacus
It helps me to be accurate
You're the Iron Abacus
Right
Do you know what I calculate?
Dead mens' debt
Are you Jin Bu Wan?
You have good eyes
Speak, who sent you?
I won't be one of the most feared assassins if I said
So? A murder?
You clearly saw he forced my hand
How could I carry on my business
with someone dead in my tavern?
Throw the body out
while its getting dark
Open up
Oh dear, someone's here! What now?
Just throw him into the backyard well
Alright, we've no choice
Open up
Coming
Wine please
Little fellow, can you drink wine?
What little fellow? Call me little hero
How much wine do you want?
Just bring it
Okay...
Bring good food and give me a room
Yes...
Little hero, you will easily fall prey
going around as you do
Bullshit, I have good skills and a deadly sword
You are the Naughty Kid
I'm Yang Yi Piu
My swords never leave anyone alive
You'll have to make an exception this time
I don't think Naughty Kid is that deadly?
It's difficult to win when others see your weakness
How could he find out the weak spot?
He has overacted
An assassin must not be exposed
He has to pretend well, understand?
Right, ten most feared assassins have shown themselves
Now it's your showtime
Killing you in surprise
You have been pretending well
but you should not have said what you said
so I could be on my guard
You are dead
all the same
Yang Yi Piu said the same before
Didn't you see what happened to him?
He and we are different
You are the one who killed my Teacher
Yes
You know I wouldn't let you go
Why did you intentionally let me realize that?
I kill for a living
and I could have not let you know
but I am different from other assassins
and have never killed anyone who doesn't deserve to die
I was deceived
then realized I killed the wrong person
Iron Flag Clan's Chief Tieh Lin was a hero
A good man doesn't do dark deeds so I let you know
Who cheated you?
Who paid you to kill my Teacher?
The one who paid to kill you,
your Brother Cao Feng
Yuan Lang didn't lie
The Rambler
You can avenge Tieh Lin now
Why did you save me just now?
I didn't want you to die
How come?
I don't know, you should understand
I will return with Yuan Lang
to take care of Iron Flag Clan's business
Right, that's it
After that
I'll avenge teacher
That's how it happened
You let him go?
I'll get rid of the bad elements first
Maybe it's because he just saved me
With someone who just saved me
I can't fight the death duel
What do you plan to do now?
I believe you wouldn't cheat me
Yan Xiu also attests to what you said, but...
This is still one side of the story
Don't say that
I have to go and find the truth for myself
I won't meet Cao Feng
Do you know where the boss puts the money?
What?
That's dirty money, we need money for the trip
"Iron Flag gambling house"
Master Luo, greetings
Manager Zeng, do you recognize me?
Master Luo, it's been half a year
what brings you here today?
"Iron Flag gambling house"
A new signage without the eagle
Master Luo must know Eagle Hall is finished
These belong to Iron Flag Clan
Just seems like old stuff with a different label
and you are still the manager
I hear Gao Deng and Chen Xiang are still working here
Thanks to Chief Cao
Chief Cao?
Chief Cao
Where's Gao Deng and Chen Xiang?
You want to see them?
Not here?
Master Luo, please sit for a while
once we find them, we'll ask them to come over
Alright
Old Hu
Coming
What's up?
Entertain Master Luo, I'm going to look for them
Please
Excuse us
Please sit
Luo Xin is outside
He is lucky
Yeah, our people being so competent 'n all
Come here
Over there
This kid is lucky today
Old Zeng, you know what to do
It's okay, don't worry
Master Luo
Master Luo, I've found them
Haven't seen you for a year, you're looking good
Thanks to Chief Cao
I haven't greeted Brother Cao yet
but I've heard people mention him a lot
He is very magnificent now
Hasn't Brother Luo gone back yet?
Not yet, no hurry
Since you are here and in no hurry to go back
and you're on a roll
Let's play with you, okay?
Alright, I want to see if
I'm still lucky playing with you two
Please shuffle the deck for us
Yes
Let's go and watch
We'll go and watch too
Make way...
I haven't seen such a big winner
Master Luo is really in luck today
How much money do you have here?
Four to five thousand taels
Come, I'll make another bet with you
If I win
I'll take the four to five thousand taels before you
If you have a better hand, you take this
Come on
Wait
Don't you want to see what's inside here?
I'll take you at your word
Old Zeng
Yes
Brother Luo, fortune seems to be smiling at you today
You win
"House Deed"
This is a residence I bought at the East lane
Can't say it's too big; just slightly over four acres
Worth less than a hundred thousand silver taels
Right...
Old Zeng, go with Master Luo
to take a look at that house
and give Master Luo what he needs
Yes
Please
Master Luo, the furniture and servants
have been arranged
Do you approve?
Thanks for your trouble
This is what Master Luo has just won, it's all here
Please check the amount
No need, you may go
Yes...
If there's anything else you want just let us know
My orders are to serve you
just give me your instructions
There's nothing I want now, I have to go out
The two gentlemen have instructed
to prepare food and wine to welcome you
If they're here...
Just say I'll return before dark
Yes
Waiting for Luo Xin?
You can look for me over there
Upstairs please
Yan Xiu has gone into the brothel, let's find him
No hurry, let's get things cleared with Cao Feng first
I went to the gambling house
and played with Gao Deng and Chen Xiang
They deliberately lost a residence to me
I think Cao Feng has asked them to buy me
You still want to see Cao Feng?
I'll go now
You go look for Yan Xiu and wait for me there
I'll meet Cao Feng first and then find him
"Cui Hong brothel"
Come in
Master Yan, someone's looking for you
Yes
Wonder if its Yuan or Luo
You're here?
You... we saved you once
how come you...
What's the use of saving me once only?
They've caught me again
You saw Luo Xin?
He was at the gambling house
Gao and Chen deliberately lost a residence to him
so as to buy him off
I fear it might be Cao Feng's idea
He thinks so too, he's now looking for Cao Feng
Is there any danger?
None immediately
Cao Feng has to keep up with pretences
but it'll be fruitless
He'll be here
Why don't you have a drink while you wait for him?
However, there's something...
we need to settle between us
That could wait
let's live for today
You're worried the wine might be poisoned, huh?
"Iron Flag Clan"
Brother Luo
why didn't you inform us of your return?
Has my return inconvenienced you in any way?
Not really, that case already died down
I mean you should inform us to welcome you
I should be paying respects to Chief instead
Oh come on, no formalities as such, sit...
You really didn't know I am back?
No, I didn't
Mister Hu, please prepare a room for Brother Luo
If he needs money...
No need, I've been to the gambling house
Strangely enough
I not only won big money but a house too
I thought you knew already
You should have come here as soon as you returned
It's because I heard a lot of rumors
Brother Cao, our clan already controls Eagle Hall
Gao Deng, Chen Xiang
are still running prostitution and gambling businesses
So what's happening?
As a Chief there're difficulties that others don't perceive
There are hundreds of men
under Eagle Hall who need to make a living
and I don't want to be too strict with them
The original intention of taking in Eagle Hall
was to turn their men from evil ways
But this seems absurd
You're right, I'll ask them to wind up their business
I have nothing to say
but I have only got money twice
none has been sent to me since
I also suffered the danger of being assassinated
What is this about?
Really? Could it have been Gao and Chen?
How dare they?
I must get to the bottom of this
As regards the dispatch of money, Mister Hu
It is sent regularly each month
I'll check with the bank
Since Brother Cao doesn't know
there's no need to investigate
Luckily I have returned
and with no harm
But there's a matter of grave concern
and must be resolved
Brother Cao, how do you think teacher died?
This is still an unresolved case
and no leads have come up from investigations
The Rambler told me himself he killed teacher
Really?
Since he has admitted that to you
did you get to avenge our teacher?
No
Brother Luo
That's because he said
there was someone else behind it
Who?
You
You're saying...
You... it's you who masterminded teacher's murder
Brother Luo, we've been Brothers for years
If at all you could believe this
I have nothing to say
It's not whether I believe
This is what that Rambler fellow said
This is a grave matter
and must be resolved
Get Rambler here and we'll settle it once and for all
Alright
If it is found out that I'm behind Teacher's death
I will receive just punishment
However, if Rambler is the culprit
and wants to stir up a fight between us
we must avenge teacher
Naturally
Everybody stay here
and wait for Luo Xin to get the Rambler
Nobody leaves
Yes
"Cui Hong brothel"
Rambler, come with me
Have a drink and calm down
I know you're no fool and would soon understand
I almost fell into Cao Feng's trap
I don't understand
Just give it a thought... say, if I went with Rambler
but Cao Feng insisted it's not true
and that Rambler is the culprit
What would that lead to?
However, I must admit that
I killed your teacher
and can't find evidence Cao Feng masterminded it
while Cao Feng seems to have justifications
to stir everyone to avenge teacher
Under mob anger
am I the fall guy
or should I fight back
There would be casualties
and we'll fall into Cao Feng's trap
Are we helping Cao Feng or the Rambler?
That's it
we have no reason to help the Rambler
But if they join together to kill the Rambler
not only our men would be involved in casualties
but also, the crime of Cao Feng would not be revealed
He will still retain his position securely as the Chief
and then deal with us in time
To avenge your teacher is reasonable
and I would not avoid such a fight
The issue is whether we should deal with Cao Feng
and not let him take advantage first
Agree
But what should we do now?
We wait
If we don't go, this matter would not be resolved
Cao Feng would be restless
he would be forced to take action
And therein lies an opportunity for us
Right, we wait
You wait here, I'll wait at my house
until Cao Feng can't wait any longer
What do you think?
Brother Luo and the Rambler didn't come at all?
Yes, as you expected
I said the Rambler is no fool
Brother Luo would understand soon
Go out in a while
and say the Rambler has chickened out
then ask everybody to go
Yes
But your next step...
One step at a time for this game
Brother Luo is well liked by everyone
If the matter comes to light
it won't be too convenient for me to do it myself
This game should start like this
Gao Deng, Chen Xiang are the first step
They can only go forward, not backward
Come, let's toast to Brother Luo
Brother Luo must have known
Brother Gao and I have joined your Clan
so we are family now
please give us more guidance in future
You're too kind; I have a question to ask
and hope you don't mind
Please go ahead
The businesses you run
gambling, prostitution
are they really Brother Cao's idea?
Of course. Since you left this year
he has been in charge of everything
So who else's idea could it have been?
Brother Cao is different now
I saw him today and he really looked different
It's good you understand
He is really different now with his success
Let me ask this again
Was it also his idea that you lose
the money and the house to me?
Well, it's enough if you understand too
That is to say he wanted to buy me?
You are a man of the world
Iron Flag Clan has large expenses
and we depend on income from local businesses
As long as you could turn a blind eye
Chief would take care of you
What if I am not for sale?
Before you left
he already has checkmated us;
If we could not persuade you
we might have to give them up
Even if it's okay for Chen Xiang and me
my men have to eat
Sorry, that's none of my concern
Please return this house to Cao Feng
I'm going now
Can't you wait to neck until later?
Go back to your own room
I have asked Xiao Hong to serve you
If you don't go back, who could you blame?
Don't mind him, let him be jealous
Who's jealous?
I was thinking if Luo Xin returns to his house
would there be trouble?
Unless Cao Feng finds it tough to control himself
I knew he wanted to use Luo Xin
against me
so as to answer to the follower of your clan
He wouldn't do it himself
Cao Feng might not
but Gao Deng and Chen Xiang...
Luo Xin, beg for your life
and I'll make you end up fast
This net is made of cow ligament and was soaked
last night. Under the sun it's becoming tighter
You should feel that by now
If you don't plead you'll soon suffocate
Gao Deng, Chen Xiang, what are you doing?
I thought you would change your old ways
but you are still so bad
Brother Cao
Chief, you mean...
You are obedient
but not Gao Deng
he is getting increasingly unmanageable
Cao Feng
now that you have used us
you want to get rid of us
You paid us off to get rid of Mi Jiu Gao
and asked Rambler to kill your teacher
Now you control
Iron Flag Clan and Eagle Hall
and you want to burn all bridges
You even pretend in front of Luo Xin
but your efforts are in vain
Luo Xin is dying
I haven't done it in vain
At least I'll get rid of you today
Chen Xiang, you're smart
Chen Xiang, you despicable bastard
Chief, I have always been loyal to you
Good
Luo Xin is close to death
I don't want any evidence left
Wait here to ensure he dies
then report to me
Don't leave
until you're sure
Yes
Chief, take these men back
Eagle Hall is finished
they should be loyal to Iron Flag Clan
Good
Brother Luo, I knew you were awake
You were pretending but I didn't tell Cao
you now know everything
I just don't understand you
What don't you understand?
Cao Feng has used Gao Deng and me
now he wants to kill us to silence us
and you... he fears men in the clan
might still be loyal to you
so he wants us to do the dirty work
Once I report your death
would he let me live?
Only if I join forces with you to go against him
could I have a chance to live
Sooner or later Cao Feng would certainly kill Gao Deng
I killed him and dispatched the men
so he wouldn't suspect me
Thank you for saving me
but you have the wrong idea
What? You still believe Cao Feng?
Certainly not, I suspected him
and I am now clear
I mean, I feigned my coma but I am really wounded
I am in no condition to fight
I know
The most important thing now
is to leave here and
find a secret place to recuperate
It's too late
Chief has great foresight
and knew you'd rebel
so he asked us to guard outside
Watch him
You want to kill Brother Luo?
Chief said
if Chen Xiang rebels, he should be killed
We have been brothers for years
could you bear to do it?
Chief's orders
Why don't we consult Chief
for what we should do?
That's possible
You and Liu Heng return and consult the Chief
Right
We'll wait for them here
Fool
We should do what Chief has ordered
it's more convenient to get them out of the way
No wonder Chief says you are capable
Lu Biao
You are capable
I have known you so many years
I didn't realize you are such a beast
You are really capable
Chief, what's your decision?
What's the hurry?
When my men return we'll know
Chief, your men have been killed
and Luo Xin has disappeared
Okay
now you understand that the matter isn't so simple
You may go. I'll let you know the next step
in the right time
Chief, you think...
If I am correct, the Rambler has saved Luo Xin
I have sent men to monitor the brothel
there should be news any time now
Chief, the Rambler and Yuan Lang
have taken Luo Xin into the brothel
Well?
Are we going to let the Rambler
have an easy time there?
Not a bad idea to let Luo Xin recuperate
You must think Luo Xin will fight with the Rambler
If this happens, we can save our efforts
I can deal with one of them easily
but I am not sure with the two of them together
Chief, you have always been right
It's difficult to anticipate
I have to set this thing up further
Since Gao Deng and Chen Xiang have not succeeded
in getting rid of Luo Xin
We should let them fight each other. It'd be ideal
if they both got killed; if not, at least one of them
It's now quite obvious as to who paid me
to kill the Chief of Iron Flag Clan
Cao Feng lied to me
that Tieh Lin would join forces with Eagle Hall
If so, the people would be in deep trouble
Later I knew that he was the one who wanted to do so
I don't want to let this rascal
get away with it so easily
I can only promise you that we will
settle our grudges after we have eliminated Cao Feng
Yuan Lang, let Luo Xin rest for a while
Let's go out for a walk
Alright, let's go
Do you think Cao Feng will come?
Not before Luo Xin recovers
He must have thought that
he could sit back and watch Luo Xin fight with me
Let's go and find some place
where I can pass on this spear technique to you
Why?
To give Cao Feng a surprise at the critical moment
Remember, what I mean by critical moment is
the time when you can kill Cao Feng
Apart from that, even if MY life is in danger
you shouldn't use it
Don't forget, I killed your Teacher
You know that it can be shot out
Cao Feng knows that too
He must have found a way to overcome it
But nobody knows that
apart from this
there's another secret mechanism
So I don't want you to use it until it's necessary
Lan Xin, do you like Rambler?
I know that we won't have a happy ending
but I can't forget him
Rambler is a good man
It's not easy to find someone like him, don't give up
I really don't understand you men
You call yourselves heroes, martial artists
Are you two friends or foes?
Luo Xin is resting at Rambler's place
He should have recovered
What do you think?
Should be
You two go to the brothel
and invite Luo Xin and Rambler to come
What if they refuse?
Tell them that
I just want to settle our mutual grudge
with them face to face
If I had bad intentions
I didn't have to wait till now
I'd have attacked Luo Xin when he was wounded
We'll pass your message to them
and try to convince them to come
We trust that you won't make us betray our friends
Of course; After all you'll be present
If I had other intentions
would you still see me as Chief?
Alright, we'll do as you say
Chief, they...
Not reliable, isn't it?
Just because of this
Luo Xin and Rambler will believe in them
You are such a genius
What of the matter I asked you to handle?
All the men are hiding outside the brothel
Alright. I'm going out for a while
You insist doing it yourself?
No, it's not yet time
I'd rather not take action before
Luo Xin and Rambler start the combat
I'm going for another matter
Brother Luo, Brother Yuan
Brother Luo has recuperated
Chief's invited you and Brother Yan to the headquarters
What kind of trick is that?
Brother Cao asked me to tell you
that he only wants to settle the grudge
once and for all
Said if he nurtured an ulterior motive
he'd have attacked when Brother Luo was still wounded
and didn't have to wait till now
What do you think?
These two are good men
That day at the house
if it weren't for them
I would have died
before you and Yuan Lang came
Brother Luo, Chief is our Brother
and we have brotherly love
Before we came he promised
that he wouldn't make us betray our friends
Only then did we promise to pass on his message to you
Cao Feng is not my Brother
I don't trust him
Yan, it's up to you
I'm asking Brother Luo and Brother Yuan
Dai Cong and I will be present today
If Brother Cao does anything wrong
both of us will die in front of you
Xiao Liu and I will risk our lives
to protect Brother Luo and Brother Yuan
Alright, because of them
Let's go
I'm to be blamed
Once I've got involved in your Clan's business
I have to listen to what you say
Alright, let's go
Yuan Lang
Of course I'm going too
Hurry, go...
What's going on?
Never expected Brother Cao would have done that
Dai Cong, what did we say just now?
Fight
Xiao Liu, Dai Cong
Dai Cong and I didn't betray friends
"Cui Hong brothel"
Chief Cao
Where's Lan Xin?
In the room
Take her away
Yes
Go
They are good men
True to their word they risked their lives for us
What are we waiting for? Go and find Cao Feng
That's right, Luo Xin and I are going to find Cao Feng
But you have to stay behind
Why?
Have you forgotten what I told you the other day?
Remember what I said
Don't make any move until the critical moment
Luo Xin, let's go
Today we must settle with Cao Feng once and for all
Cao Feng, we are here
Your conspiracy has failed again
I suppose you won't believe
even if I told you that it has nothing to do with me
Alright, what do you want?
You know it
I have to get rid of the bad elements today
What about avenging Teacher?
Are you trying to usurp the Chief's position with him
You waited for me to recuperate
in order to let me fight against Rambler
It'd be nice if both were dead; if not, at least one
I won't let you have your way
I'm afraid you have no other choice
Mister Hu
Come out
Lan Xin?
Cao Feng, you...
Listen
This woman is your bosom friend
Luo Xin, she helped you to recuperate
I suppose you two big fellas
won't let her risk her life
Cao Feng, you know I am a rambler
I wouldn't buy this
What about you, Luo Xin?
Cao Feng, we are from the same school
We know very well each others' skills
I may not be your match
Why then do you have to use such dirty tricks?
Since you know I'm not afraid of you
I just want you to fight with Rambler first
to avenge Teacher
before we deal with our own business
If unfortunately you are killed by Rambler
Rambler and I will fight then
The matter is very clear
Once you start the fight, I'll release Lan Xin
Alright, so be it
But will you be faithful to your words?
Of course, if not how could I
be the Chief anymore
I'll believe in you for once
Brother Yan, please
Rambler, what about you?
Meeting the pair of you
it seems that I am no longer myself
Alright, you've got to trust in me and Luo Xin
Release Lan Xin
Alright, I'll let you gain the upper hand this time
Mister Hu - Yes
Release her
Yes
Release her
Hurry and go, go away as far as you can
Forget about us
Don't ever get acquainted with men like us
Alright, Luo Xin
We are destined to fight this combat, come
Wait
Does this flag belong to Liu Heng or Dai Cong?
I'm just afraid it doesn't befit you
Bring Brother Luo's flag over
Yes
Brother Yan, come on
Please
Attack
Hurry, go...
