The Three Heroes and Five Gallants Episode 8
- Who's there?- It's me, Yue Hua.
Master Yue
Master Yue, please come in.
- Where's Fifth Master?- He just went out.- Where did he go?
To the Imperial Family Garden to gather information about the birthday present.
Master Yue, drink some water.
Thank you, Miss Yalan.
The truth is,
I have some words
that I've long wanted to say to Miss Yalanbetween just the two of us.
Master Yue, although we are both Jianghu peoplewho don't really care about trivial matters,
this doesn't seem appropriate.
Is Miss Yalan afraid that if Bai Yutang returns
and sees us together alone in this room,
he might get jealous?
Why is Master Yue saying that?
Although Fifth Master and I used the disguiseof being a married couple,
he never disrespected me.
Does it means that within these so many days,
despite being together day and night,
not even a bit of a romantic relationshiphas developed?
None.
Really none?
Then if that's the case,
looks like I still have a chance.
What...chance?
Miss Yalan
A woman who is beautiful inside and outis really a good match to a virtuous man.
Bai Yutang that stupid man,doesn't know how to be romantic.
But I wouldn't want to miss this good chance.
Master Yue, please have some self-restraint.
I'd never expected
you to be so frivolous.
Hey, Miss Yalan
your words are wrong.
Miss Yalan just doesn't know me very well yet.
I believe that if we spend longer time together,
you will naturally like me.
Forgive me for being blunt.I'm afraid we two are not predestined.
You can create fate.
Don't talk too absolutely.
Anything can change.
But this thing will never change.
Why?
Stop asking!
Any situation must have a conclusion.
Fine.
Then I'll tell you the truth.
It is because I already have someone in my heart.
You're lying.
Why would I lie to you?
Your mother told Bai Yutang before her death
that you were still unbetrothed.
The past is past.Present is present.
Then what's the difference between the pastand the present?
There's no one in the past.
But presently, there's already someone.
There's already someone presently?
Only a few days have passed
and you've been here at the inn all the time.
Then the man who has entered your heart
can only be just one person.
Bai Yutang
This time you can't deny it anymore, right?
You said earlier that the two of youhave no romantic relationship.
- I...- I...what I? Can't finish your sentence now?
Anyway, I've already said it to you clearly.
So Master, please leave now.
If there's anything, wait for Fifth Master to come back tomorrow to discuss it.
Sigh, as the saying goes,
9 out of 10 men are insensitive.
Let's not talk about that fool Bai Yutang first.
How come you're also clouded by love?
In your eyes,
there's only Bai Yutang,
and you can't see anyone else clearly anymore?

You...
Looks like this Shen Zhongyuan is a true hero.
Let's not talk about him anymore.
But, I feel that another person is very suspicious.
Fourth Brother is talking about that Yue person, right?
Right.How did you know?
Fourth Brother, please tell me firstwhy are you suspicious of that Yue person.
Fifth Brother,
Mount Xiao in Hangzhouis not that far from our Hollow Island.
We are practically neighbors.I never heard of any handsome boy from there
who is also a young hero with good martial arts skills.
Wouldn't we know about it?
Fourth Brother is right.
But I'm looking at his flawsfrom a different point of view.
What point of view?
Fourth Brother, think about it.
Drive out oppresors, protect the people and uphold justice are what a Jianghu hero does.
When did it happen that a hero asks for help from the government?
But that Yue actually suggested to let Kaifeng Courtbe involved in solving the problem.
Do you think that this is typical behaviorfor a Jianghu knight-errant?
Not a Jianghu knight-errant...
Could it be...?
Kaifeng Court?
So Yalan, you must help me keep this a secret.
If you want me to help you keep it a secret,
I can, but you must first tell me where you come from
and why you wander around alone, disguised as a man?
I am from Mount Xiao in Hangzhou,
but my parents are dead and I felt lonely and depressed at home.
So I left to wander around.
But I never really thought that Master Yue
- could actually be such a beautiful woman.- How so?
But for a woman like you to leave home
and travel everywhere,is quite a scandal.
You're really going at it, huh?
When did you ever notice that I was a woman?
That's also right.
How come I never thought of disguising myself as a man too?
That can explain it.
It explains it.
This brat's suggestion is not bad.
Giving that money to Master Bao is also fine.
But I'm a little worried.
What you means is...?
Fifth Brother, think about it...
If we let Master Bao interfere with this,
what's the first thing he'll do once he has the gold?
He'll definitely pass this money to the Treasury.
I dare guarantee that once the money is in the tresury,
passing thru different hands,
there's a 100 % chance that it will end upin the pockets of corrupt officials again.
That's right, very reasonable.So do you have any suggestions?
I think, let's just get this money ourselves.
Afterwards we'll discuss how to divide it.
I just don't want to see that money
ending up in the hands of corrupt officials again.
But Yue has already informed the Kaifeng Court.
Then...it looks like we have to change our plan.
Initially, we planned to attack within the Kaifeng Court's jurisdiction.
That way, we could also humiliate that rotten Cat,get him in deep trouble.
But now, it looks like we can't do that. We must do the snatching before Kaifeng.
At that time, they won't knowthat we were the ones who did it.
Then what about Yue?
I'll find an excuse to send him away.We mustn't tell Shen Zhongyuan either.
We must not tell anyone about this.
Oh...that way, when that gold suddenly disappears into thin air,
they won't have any reason to suspect us.
Right.
Then it's settled.Tomorrow I'll go back to Huilong Town.
- Let's meet again tomorrow.- See you then.
It's quite late. I must go.Or else, I'll bump into that Bai Yutang.
If you did bump into him, just tell him the truth then.
I still can't right now.
Why?Then how long should we wait?
When the right time comes, I'll naturally tell him.
I must go now.I hope Miss Yalan will keep this thing a secret.
I know already.Don't worry.
Hey, travel safely.Master Yue...
- Who is it?- It's me.
Fifth Master?Come in.
Master Yue, you're back.
Your relatives have checked in herefor several days already.
- Fifth Master. - Master Yue
Please come in.
Master Yue, you're finally back.
Miss Yalan, have you been fine?
Thanks for asking, I'm fine.
- Hurry and sit down.- Thank you.
Where is Brother Shen?
This one is Hero Shen.
Brother Shen, I really wanted to meet you.
Deng Che is the head of my security guards here.
Oh?
Sheng Zhongyuan greets Leader Deng.
Brother Shen, you must not be like this.I have already heard of your famous name beforehand.
Being able to meet you todayis worth three lifetimes of luck.
Thank you for your concern...
Good. The Imperial Family Garden nowhas an additional fierce warrior.
- Waiter!- Yes, coming!
What's good to eat in your inn?
Our inn has hot mantou, good wine, good food.
Fine...Here, hold the horse.
Alright...Customer, please come inside.
Master Yue, don't know if you saw
Four-ranked Imperial Guard Zhan Zhaowhile you were in Kaifeng Court?
I didn't enter Kaifeng Court.
You didn't enter Kaifeng Court?So how were you able to talk to Master Bao?
Me and Kaifeng Court's captain,
Zhao Hu, met each other once.I asked him to tell Minister Bao the news for me.
After Master Bao got the news,
he asked Master Gongsun to come and meet me.
Then I wonder where does Master Bao intend to capture the gifts?
He didn't mention.
He just asked us to find out when would the thingsbe sent off and how.
Fifth Master!
Come in.
Master Fifth, downstairs there's a man whose surname is Jiang,
saying that he wants to meet you.
Quickly invite him in.
Master Jiang!
Fifth brother!
Fourth brother, this is
the Master Yue I have mentioned to you before.
Aiya, I've heard a lot about you.
I've already long known the famous River Rat.
Being able to meet you, is a blessing that can last me for three lives.
He's such a pretty boy.
Aiya, your looks are not a myth,
you could catch up with my Fifth Brother!
Yalan pays her respects to Fourth Master.
Are you really Jin Yalan, Miss Jin?
Yes, I am.
A woman not inferior to a man.
Brothers, these are the presents for Her Highness!
You must be careful! Hurry!
Chang Da, transporting the presents will be all up to you.
Alright. -On the way, you must obey Second-in-Command,
be extremely careful. Nothing must delay Her Highness' gifts.
Rest assured. -Second-in-Command,
it will be hard on you.
Royal Uncle has arrived!
Everyone!
These are all 30 years and older aged wine!
It's Her Highness' birthday gift.
Every barrel is worth over a hundred taels!
Royal Uncle, when do we set off?
Immediately prepare, leave when
- the prefecture governor has arrived.- Yes.
Yes. Hurry up!
[Wine Tribute]
[Mao Family Inn]
Fourth Brother,
take Master Yue and Miss Yalan back with you,
find Second and Third Brother and then wait for me at the Eastern Capital.
I'll stay at Chenzhou and secretly keep track in case of mishaps.
Fifth Brother, listen to me.
You must not. You are currently a wanted criminal.I'll be the one who will stay here.
Anyway no one in Chenzhou knows me.
It's more convenient for me to investigate.
Listen to me, let me stay. Alright?
Fourth Master is right. Him staying is more beneficial than if you were to stay.
What do you know? You all leave, I stay here!
That Pang Yu is very cunning.He's hard to deal with.
Fifth Brother, I may not be able to fight you
I'm still famous in the Jianghu as a matchfor 10,000 enemies. Are you belittling me?
That's not what I meant.
From an outsider's perspective,
It's more reasonable for Fourth Master to stay here than for you to stay.
Although his martial arts are not as comparable to yours,
staying here now is not for fighting,
but to find information.
Everyone in the Jianghu knows how secretly Fourth Master works.
You have good insights.
I am worried that Yalan and I travelling together will arise government suspicions.
Then how about this? To prevent suspicion,
I can dress as a man to deceive people.
Great idea! Later on I will teach you a skill that will be absolutely useful.
Then it is settled. You will stay here to find out information,
I will go with Yalan and Fifth Master to Kaifeng Court.
Good, it is decided then.
Royal Uncle has arrived!
Chenzhou's Prefectural Governor, Zhang Hong, is here by decree to escort Her Highness' birthday presents.
- Prefectural Governor, please rise.- Thank you Royal Uncle.
Set off now.
Yes!
Let's go!
Stop there.
Go.
Stop there. What do you do?
Travelling Taoist, knows how to sing and dance.
Especially skilled in singing about morality and reason.
Do you want Little Priest to sing for you?
I think you're not a singer of morality and reason.
You're a beggar who sings about morality and reason, right?
Master has good eyesight.
Hungry. Give me some alms.
Just quickly go.
Chenzhou is so poor that the people are going to eat mud soon.
No one will give you food to eat.
Move! You smelly man.
Master Soldier, you must have good karma!
Your descendants will be officials.
Hear about human morality and reason.
Look at human sufferings.

Skill Recruitment Club
You all are the best warriors
of the Skill Recruitment Club.
Royal Uncle trusts us,
giving such an important task to us.
We must work hard together,
to complete this task well. Let Royal Uncle see
our martial arts' skills.
Leader is right.
Royal Uncle gave us a task.
But he won't tell us what it is about
Don't you think this shows that he doesn't trust us?
It's not that he doesn't trust. Would he give us such an important task if he didn't?
Leader is right.
Keeping a secret and trusting us
are two different things. Eh?...Eh?
Leader Deng
How long do we have to carry out this task?
Tell everyone so that we can have some mental preparations.
Food and drinks
have already been prepared by Royal Uncle.
As for the total time, it will
take about 20 days to a month.
Brother Shen.
Gallant Fourth, you really did come.
Brother Shen I wouldn't dare to disobey your words.
There are changes in the situation.
Changes? What changes?
While in the Skill Recruitment Club, I watched those wine pots containing gold all the time.
Nobody ever got near those pots.
The seals don't show any signs of having been opened.
They are all old seals.
So I suspect,
- the gold is not -- - In the wine barrels.
That's right.
Then where did they hide the gold?
This afternoon,
Deng Che assembled 20 elite martial artists from the Skill Recruitment Club
and told them there is another important task
that needs doing.
Boss, there are customers!
Get the horse.
May I ask if you would be staying in our inn?
Are there men with surnames Han and Xu staying here?
That's right. There's also a Master Jiang who went to the city for business.
- Show us the way.- Okay. Customers, please enter.
Master Han, Master Han, there is a guest looking for you.
Second brother, Third brother!
Fifth Brother!
It's so great to see all of you.
You're finally here.
Yes, it has been hard on the road.
Oh let me introduce you.
Master Yue.
Hello, Master Second and Master Third.
Pleased...to meet you.
Pleased to meet you...
Miss Yalan.
Second Master, Third Master.
Fifth Brother, this isn't right.
This is obviously a little master.
Third brother you don't know,
Miss Yalan was worried about arousing suspicions on the road so she dressed as a man.
Fifth brother, is it...
our sister in law?
Third Brother don't crack jokes with me.
Miss Yalan and I met by chance --
Aiyoweh! (a form of exclamation)
Aiyoweh, why is it so lively?
I can hear everything from next door.
This-
Fifth Brother, your third sister -in-law.
Oh so it's Third Sister-in-law!
Bai Yutang pays his respects.
Oh! So you're Bai...
Greetings Fifth Little Brother!
Then, this-
Oh I will introduce them to you.
Master Yue.
Oh Master Yu-
I beg you.
I pay my respects to Master Yue.
Miss Yalan.
Oh Yala--
Miss?
She dressed as a man.
Oh.
What does that mean?
It means a girl who is dressed as a man.
Oh. Why is she allowed to dress as a man, but I'm not?
Ah?
Because girls who aren't very good-looking like to dress as men.
Aiya, Fifth Brother how can you say that!
This Yalan isn't as good looking as me,
but don't worry,
Miss Yalan, don't look down on yourself. As a girl, the most important is to have a beautiful heart.
Alright, enough! Third Sister-in-law.
Miss Ya Lan is already tired, can you
bring her into the house to rest? I still have things to say to Second and Third Brother.
Right right right, go
have a rest then.
Oh okay, come let's go!
Hey, Xu Old Third...!
Let's go!
Third Brother it's okay.
The most important thing in a girl is to have a beautiful heart...
(Kaifeng Court)
Are there any news?
Responding to Master,
Master Yue heard this clearly.
That Pang thief hid 10,000 gold taels he plundered from Chenzhou
into 18 big pots of wine and openly sent them to the capital already.
When did they set off?
Three days ago.
I estimate that within 10 days, they will reach Bianliang.
Subtitles were brought to you by The Rats of Hollow Island Team @Viki
Master...I keep feeling that something isn't right here...
Your qualms are logical. Anyone with a mind will suspect that these wine pots' contents are fake.
Pang Yu is no fool. He must have thought about this already.
Master
I think that Pang Yu's trick is not about these.
Share your thoughts.
Every prefecture and county on the route has guards to escort the goods as they pass. Even if someone wanted to steal the gold,
they wouldn't have a chance to do so.
They wouldn't even dare to try.
Do you mean that Pang Yu feels securewith these arrangement?
He will not be worried about others,but he'll most likely be afraid of you.
So you think that before reaching Bianliang
they'll remove the gold from the wine pots.
Right.
Therefore I feel that we shouldn't just wait here.
We must meet them and stop them outside of Kaifeng Court's jurisdiction.
I'm afraid that our every movementis being closely monitored.
Before our men arrive,they could already have transferred the gold.
Regardless of how,
Pang Yu will definitely bring the gold to the Eastern Capital.
Let's just follow the gold and not the person.
Master
I'll go now to help Master Yue to monitor secretly.
This way, we can know their movements well.
Wang Chao
Is Master Yue really able to do this task?
From what I've seen,Yue Hua's skills aren't inferior to Zhan Zhao's,
and he's very bright.He got very reliable information.
I think that she can do the task.
If that's the case, that's good.
Then, we need to trouble Master Yue.
But I think it's better if you stay in Kaifeng.
Master, there aren't any pressing matters here right now.
If I go to assist Master Yue, one more person means more strength.
If there's nothing going on here, join Zhang Long and Zhao Hu and patrol the city.
Go and enjoy the different fun locations here in the capital.
I understand.
Cheers!...
Eat...
Give me some first...
Fill it up...
- Full...- There's almost none already.
Stop serving only yourself.
Mine's full already.
Give it to me.
Fourth...Brother, I give you a warm welcome.
Let's have a toast.
Give me some more.
Xu Old Xi'er!
You mustn't hog the wine jar and drink by yourself.Leave some for others!
Fourth...
What do you mean by that?
Today, I'm giving my Fourth Brother a welcoming party.
All of us must drink and drink.
Anyone who doesn't get drunk,
is being a miserable...
git...Get lost!
- Did you just swore at me?- Hei...
What do you mean?
What I said was...
'miserable'... not 'miserable git'...
You are swearing at me again!
Sister-in-law...
Leave it!...Today is a special day.
Let's lessen the lecturing for today.
He got drunk, it doesn't matter.
What can he do while he's drunk?
- He can't do anything.- Right.
This is just drinking among us, brothers.
- Let him drink...- Today, we're happy...
- Drink...- I'll give you a toast.
Big brother!You still know me the best!
Once you're drunk, what can you do?
Come...
Leave some!
In your eyes, do you still consider me as your older brother...?
Captain Wang, I'll go on from here.
Now Pang Yu not only has provincial guards as escortsbut also many martial artists secretly protecting him.
You must be very careful.
I'll keep that in mind.
Then I'll be waiting at Kaifeng Court for your news.
Then...I'll go now.
Fine.Take care.
Take care.
Jia!
Come! After this cup, there are 3 more.
That means those wine pots that are being openly transported are just decoys.
Right.
Actually Fifth Brother, Second Brother, I wasn't drunk earlier.
Let me tell you.
Even though this is just a decoy,
but for us,
this is a God-given chance.
What do you mean?
Think about it.The situation has changed now.
There's no gold in those wine pots.
But they don't know.
Kaifeng Court and the magistrate are all watching those pots.
While we go for the real thing...
We'll do our job and steal that gold.
But...I'm a little wor...
What now?
That...Magistrate Bao is a good...official.
If he isn't able to find the gold,
the Emperor won't let...him go.
Don't worry.
Second Brother
Our target is Zhan Zhao.
We are not targeting Magistrate Bao.
Right?
I want all heroes to know
that in the end, either he fools us or we, Five Rats, put him to death.
Second Brother
About Magistrate Bao, don't you worry.
Why? Because in the last years, Magistrate Bao made the Emperor lose face several times,
but always got away with it.
It proves that the Emperor favors him.
So he'll surely be fine this time too.
Fifth...Fourth...
Then...once Master Yue returns...what do we tell him?
Sir, you're back.
Are Fifth Master and the others all here?
- They're all here.- Good.
Master Yue
Come.Come in...
Master Yue
Come.You all know each other.
Second Master, Fourth Master, Fifth Master.
I just came back from Kaifeng Court.There's an important situation.
General Zhang, please.
Officer Zhong, please.
I've been sent here to escort the birthday present.
Can you come with meto see the Second-in-command?
Please.
I'm Zhong Shiquan from Shitang Prefecture.Greetings, Second-in-command.
No need to be formal.
Are you here to escort the birthday presents?
Exactly.
Good. We have to trouble you.
Second-in-command,
my job here is done.
General Zhang, you've worked hard these past few days.
On my return, I'll certainly report to the Prime Minister
on General Zhang's hard work.
Thank you, Second-in-command.
Right, you may leave.
With respect, Second-in-command, goodbye.
Let's move!
This thing has major impact.
We must not make any mistakes.
I hope that everyone can give their full support.
Master Yue
These news are indeed important.
I'm very impressed by Minister Bao's analysis.
It makes a lot of sense.
If that thief Pang Yu plans to transport the gold in batches,
they must split it within Kaifeng's jurisdiction.
Right?Then maybe...
- But...- Aiya! It can't be.
Who's going?
Who?
Second Brother?
Second Brother can't talk well.
- Right...- Really.
Third Brother
Third Brother is a muddled man.
As for me, I've been to Chenzhou many times.
I'm probably in their files already.
If I go, I will immediately arise suspicion.
Fifth Brother...Fifth Brother's looks attract too much attention.
He'll be recognized immediately.
What's the best way then?
It can't be.
Could it be...
that we can only trouble Master Yue?That can't be...
The chosen one must be brave, meticulous, and have above average courage and intelligence.
Master Yue, don't misunderstand.It's not that I'm belittling you.
- I just feel that...- Just leave this to me.
Let's maintain communication at all times.
I'll leave now.
Second Brother, can Master Yue do it?
Can you really do it?
Subtitles were brought to you by The Rats of Hollow Island Team @Viki
Greetings, Father-in-law.
How's the transport going?
Pang Wang's convoy has already crossed Shitang.
They haven't met any trouble yet?
There are government officers escorting along the way.Even if someone wants to cause trouble,
they wouldn't dare.
I'm not worried about common martial arts bandits.
Father-in-law, don't worry.
Those Kaifeng Court people like Wang Ma and Zhang Zhao
were seen wandering around the capital the whole day.
Going into tea houses, hotels and wherever there's anything going on.
They're definitely working on some case within the capital.
Follow them closely.
If any of them leave Bianliang, report it to me immediately.
I understand.
Master.
How was it?Any news from Master Yue?
