Treat the horse well.
Don't worry. Goodbye.
Yellow Boy.
Sir, what a coincidence meeting you here again!
Have you caught the felon you're looking for yet?
You didn't take the main roads and took the trails instead?
Yes. His accomplices might come to his rescue.
I don't care that you went beyond your jurisdiction to catch people.
Sir, the man you're looking for is called Qin Qiong.
He was wounded a couple of days ago.
Shut up.
You're his accomplices?
No, sir. I'm not...
Grab him.
You want to escape?
Huff)'-
Head Shan, I know I erred. Please spare my life.
Li Chong, do you know what your crime is?
It's a capital offence.
You know this is a capital offence. Why did you still commit it?
Please spare my life...
We're outlaws. But we mustn't violate three rules.
Do you remember them?
I do. Rob not the poor. Rape no women. Pocket no money.
You robbed Xiang Nan Dao. You dared to rape his wife and daughter!
You even tried to pocket the stolen money.
You breached two of the three main rules.
You still expect me to spare your life?
I made a terrible mistake. We've been brothers for years.
Please forgive me this time. I won't do this again. Please spare my life.
Head Shan, please forgive Li Chong.
He's a brother. That's why he must be executed all the more.
I, Shan Xiongxin, am the head of outlaws in thirteen provinces.
I'm in charge of all the outlaws.
If I cover up for my brother,
who else will obey these three main rules of the outlaws?
Everyone must observe them. Take him out and have him executed.
Head Shan...
Whoever pleads for him again will be caned a hundred times.
Go.
Head Shan, please spare my life...
Hold a funeral tomorrow. Bury Li Chong well.
Send someone to look after his parents.
If they need anything, come here and get them.
I will, Head Shan.
Miss Shan, your swordsmanship is very good.
Master Jin, I heard
you paid a hundred taels of silver to buy a good horse. Where is it?
Let me take a look.
This way please, Miss Shan.
This is the horse?
I don't think it's worth even ten taels of silver.
Right. This horse isn't worth the price at all...
Kid, this is no ordinary horse. It's called Yellow Boy.
It's also known as Hay Yellow. It can travel a thousand miles a day.
So amazing? I want to ride it.
No way, Miss Shah. The temper of this horse is strong.
Let me try.
I just bought it. It's not tame yet.
Yingying.
You mustn't ride it, Miss Shan.
You're being naughty again?
Head Shan...
Brother Xin, I'm not.
Master Jin bought a good horse. I just want to try it for him.
Is that so, Master Jin?
Yes...Miss Shan is telling the truth.
You...This is the horse?
Yes, Head Shan. This is the horse.
Master Jin, where did you buy this horse?
The horse market in Hua County. Why?
This appears to be Brother Qin's horse. What did the seller of the horse look like?
He's eight feet tall.
He has long arms, broad shoulders, defined eyebrows and sharp eyes.
But he looked sick.
That's Brother Qin.
He must be in a difficult situation or else he would never sell his horse.
Tell all the inns and shops to report to us as soon as they see Brother Qin.
Come with me.
Who's this Brother Qin?
Why does Brother Xin care so much about him?
Miss Shan, Brother Qin was a constable in Licheng County.
He shows much bravery catching bandits. He caught many of our brothers.
That's right.
During the Civil and Military Champion,
Wang Bodang hated the corruption in the Imperial government.
He resigned from his post as an official nd became a bandit leader in Mount Shaohua.
There's a requirement to join us as an outlaw
He must accomplish a mission assigned to him by Head Shan.
That's right.
Brother Wang's mission was to kill Qin Qiong
to avenge the brothers.
What happened in the end?
Brother Wang arrived at Licheng County.
But he fell seriously sick. He was stone broke.
Sir, what's your name?
I'm a constable in Licheng County. My name is Qin Qiong.
What happened afterwards?
Brother Wang got well.
I'm indebted to you.
I want to give you my horse. Please accept it.
Brother Bodang, please get up. How can I take your horse?
It's OK. Take care.
Brother Wang then returned to Er Xian Zhuang.
He said he couldn't kill Qin Qiong. He told Head Shan what Qin Qiong had done.
Head Shan was so moved. He said Qin Shubao's a great man.
That's right.
Head Shan even gave a three section order to the outlaws.
All outlaws had to treat Qin Qiong as their head.
There's a painting of Master Qin in Brotherhood Hall of Er Xian Zhuang.
Right.
But the two of us can't go in there. So we've never seen it before.
This Brother Qin is really amazing. I must find a chance to meet him.
Notice...Wanted.
Excuse me.
This man is a bandit head...
He's the sick guy in our inn! A reward of five hundred taels?
We're almost there...Just right ahead.
Walk faster...Right ahead.
He's here.
You can't leave...Hurry.
Brother Fan Hu?
Brother Qiong, let's get out of here.
OK.
You...I knew you had stolen my money and made me broke.
I had to pawn my maces and sell my horse.
Now you've even turned me over to the Golden Snake Guards.
You're a really despicable man. You deserve to be killed...
Cheaters and evil men should be killed. I'll get my fist dirty if I kill you.
Brother Qiong.
Let's go.
I'm fine...
Hang in there... Let's get some rest...Be careful.
Brother Qiong, how are you?
I'm fine. I just need some rest.
OK. We can't carry on running this way. Where's your Yellow Boy?
The hateful inn owner stole my money. I was seriously sick. I was broke.
I had no choice but to pawn my maces and sell Yellow Boy.
Why didn't you tell me that?
If you had, I would have killed that man and that woman there and then.
Wait here. I'll go get them back for you.
Brother Qiong...I...Never mind. Let's wait until you've gotten well first.
Let's find a place up ahead to rest. Let's go. Be careful.
Taoist monk.
Gentlemen, he...?
He was bitten by a poisonous snake.
Hurry and ask mentor to come quickly.
Yes.
Please come in.
Thank you...Easy.
How is Brother Qiong?
He's fine now.
His wound is infected. He's got a fever.
When the fever's gone, he'll be fine
Brother Qiong? Just now you called him Brother Qiong.
Is he Shandong Jinan Prefecture's Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao the Chivalrous?
That's him.
Hurry and tell Master Shan that Brother Qin is in San Yuan Guan now.
San Yuan Guan
He's here?
Brother Qin Brother Qiong.
Brother Shan.
Brother Qin.
Brother Shan.
This is my fault.
How's that? Please get up.
You suffered so much in my turf. This is my fault.
Heaven bless us.
We're brothers. Forget formalities. Brother Qin, I'm Xu Ji, aka Xu Maogong.
I've long heard about you. You're really a sage.
It's my honor to meet you.
Thank you for healing me and my brother Fan Hu. Thank you.
We're relieved that Brother Qin and Brother Fan Hu have gotten well.
Brother Qin, how's your injury? Let me see. Is it serious?
I'm fine. I'm well already. Don't worry.
So he's the legendary Brother Qin?
Who's this girl?
I'm Luzhou Er Xian Zhuang's Shan Yingying. Hello Brother Qin.
Er Xian Zhuang
Brother Qin...
Yingying, you came?
You've taken the five doses of medicine prescribed by Master Wei.
Do you feel better now?
Look. I'm well now.
Oh, something special's happening in Er Xian Zhuang today.
You must come too.
Something special in Er Xian Zhuang? What is it?
You'll find out when you get there. Please follow me.
Congratulations, Brother Qin. Guys...
Brother Qin, my older brother really admires you.
He wants to become your sworn brother. What do you think?
Brother Qin, do you remember me?
I do.
You saved my life. Head Shan admired your brotherhood.
He ordered someone to paint a picture of you.
He ordered all the sub-heads to treat you like our head.
Thank you.
Brother Xin wants to become your sworn brother. What do you think?
That's my wish too.
It's the lucky hour now. Brother Qin, Head Shah, please.
Bow to heaven.
Bow to earth.
Bow to the three saints of brotherhood.
Please say the vow.
Heaven and earth be our witnesses. Now I, Shan Xiongxin...
I, Qin Shubao...
will become sworn brothers.
We may not share the same birthday,
but we wish we to die on the same day.
We shall share all our joys and endure all our hardships together.
We shall remain loyal to each other.
If I break this vow, I shall be punished by death.
Master Qin, Head Shan, please drink this wine.
Congratulations, Brother Qin and Head Shan.
Please let me bow to you, older brother.
You don't need to do that, younger brother.
Master Qin, please treat this horse well.
Thank you...
You're welcome.
Highness, please give my regards to Lord Mount.
Sure.
Cheng'er, you must take good care of Her Highness on the way.
I will-.
You two take care on the road.
Goodbye.
Cheng'er, write to us when you get there.
I will-.
Go.
We don't know each other. You don't need to be so courteous.
Get up, fool.
Who are you calling a fool?
I'm calling the axe a fool.
Toy boy, I will...
Deputy Luo, he's no match for you. Let him go.
Beat it, fool.
Go.
Deputy, we're in Shandong already.
Brother Bai, ride on ahead Lord Dengzhou's Mansion first.
Tell them Lord Beiping's son will escort Princess Yu home in two days.
Yes, Deputy.
Master Jin, what happened to you?
I'm fine. Is Master Da home?
He's inside. Shall I ask him to come out?
Go to my room to get some medicine. Go...
It's heavy...It's really heavy.
Brother Jin...
Why are you covered in blood? Who bullied you?
Who would dare bully me? I just need to stare at him.
Who has the guts to bully me? This cow ran away as soon as I stared at it.
Perhaps someone told it to go. No, perhaps it didn't want to listen.
No, perhaps it knows who bullied you so it's gone looking for that guy now.
Come on...Go in first.
It knows who bullied me?
Perhaps.
Then it's a miracle cow,
We have several of them in town... Weren't you practicing your kung fu?
Come on. Easy. Sit down... Come on...What's the matter?
I can't sit.
You can't sit? Then hold onto me...
Come on...Let me move the tea table first. Hold onto me.
Falling.
I know. Let me get up first... Easy...Hang in there.
You're stepping on my robe...
Brother Jin, kneel there. Come on...One, two...lie down.
OK...Easy...Your leg...How did you get hurt?
I was practicing the invincible qigong.
Invincible...But how come it's not?
I held my breath and my belt broke.
Your belt...
When the belt broke, the qi left. Then I became vulnerable.
I see. But I remember you use an axe. You should have cut wounds.
I think the holes are caused by a spear, right?
Isn't there a hook on a axe blade? I swung that way.
Then the hook...so I got stabbed.
You stabbed yourself?
1 did. Right.
You're so careless. You stabbed yourself more than twenty times.
How come the door opened?
It was blown opened.
Who blew it open?
Not you. It was the wind.
Brother Da.
Brother Jin, why are you crying?
I feel aggrieved.
I know. Who stabbed you?
A girl.
A girl?
Yes. I saw a girl with a pigtail. She was so pitiful.
She wanted to sell herself to bury her father.
I want to cry every time I think of that.
I know. You already told me before.
The girl wanted to sell herself to bury her father. I know.
You told me that before. Don't cry...Don't cry.
She's so pitiful.
Don't cry.
Why don't we practice kung fu at home instead of outside from now on?
From now on, I'll practice kung fu at home. It's safe.
If I practice outside, people might copy my kung fu.
We can't let them do that. You're invincible.
I won't teach outsiders my magical kung fu.
Put away all pointed weapons.
Why?
The pointed ones.
Got it...
Father, Yuwen Chengdu has come with sedan-chairs and gifts
to take Sis Yu to the palace.
But we still don't know where Sis Yu is. What do we do now?
Tell everyone not to disclose that Yu'er has left home.
Try and stall Yuwen Chengdu. Send more people out to look for Yu'er.
Yes.
Here comes General Yuwen.
My Lord. By order of the Empress,
I've come to escort Princess Yu to the palace for the wedding.
The bridal gowns are ready. The sedan chair is waiting outside.
Good. You must be tired.
It's a big event in Dengzhou that Yu'er is going to marry Prince Jin.
We mustn't rush.
Rest here for a couple of days first.
When Yu'er is ready, she'll go with you.
Yes, sir.
My Lord, I've stayed here for a few days already. I wonder if Yu'er...
Be patient.
My daughter is attached to me. She's never been apart from me before.
This is the first time I have a daughter getting married.
I'm worried that I might have omitted something. So please be patient.
I don't mean to rush Your Lordship.
I've stayed here for a few days, but I haven't seen Her Highness at all. Why?
Stop. What is it?
Please tell His Highness that I have something urgent to report to him.
My daughter will leave with you at 9am tomorrow. Come.
Lord Dengzhou's House
Why have you come here?
I was ordered to escort you to the palace to marry Prince Jin.
Father, I came home to tell you honestly that I'd rather die than marry Prince Jin.
Please ask His Highness to withdraw his order.
Take Her Highness to her bedroom so she can bathe and change.
She must leave right away.
Highness...Please come back... Highness, don't leave. Come back...Highness.
Stop. You can't defy an Imperial Order. Get in the sedan-chair first, OK?
No.
Deputy Luo, this is an Imperial Order.
It's none of your business. Don't get in the way.
If the Imperial Order is against the will of the people,
why can't I defy it?
How can you say something so treacherous? Let me teach you for Lord Beiping.
Her Highness wants to kill herself...Help...
Yu'er, put the dagger down. What are you doing?
Highness...
Don't do anything silly. Put down the dagger.
Father, if you force me to do this, I will kill myself.
Why are you doing this? Listen to me. Put the dagger down.
Father, please let me die.
My Lord, you're Sui's Lord Mount. You assisted in founding Sui.
You're the emperor's kin too.
Do you really want your daughter to die in grief?
Why don't you talk to His Highness and ask him to withdraw his order
to save Princess Yu's life?
Highness, I think that's an option. Please consider it.
Father...Father...
Fine. I will go to Chang'an with General Yuwen to see His Highness.
We'll turn down this marriage.
Father.
Highness, Sima Xin has suddenly disappeared.
I've sent several batches of people to look for him. He still can't be found.
I'm afraid he's already dead.
My son Chengdu wants to find out what happened personally.
No. Master Yuwen is a hero. He mustn't leave the capital.
What if the emperor asks about it?
Then what? We can't ignore this.
It's best to keep quiet now. We have more important things to do.
Li Yuan's been demoted now. The other lords are old.
The Crown Prince is isolated.
Right now we must remove his title as the Crown Prince.
Then the rest will be easy.
Highness, my son Chengdu has the military command in the capital.
Feel free to go ahead. You don't need to worry about anything.
Military command is good.
But if you fail to use it properly, it will get you killed.
Don't worry, Highness.
The Yuwen family is loyal to you. God be our witness.
