The Three Heroes and Five Gallants Episode 20
Second Master!
It's not good. The second rat, Han Zhang has come.
His explosives can destroy this entire place!
Hurry hurry, open up the underground passage!
Quickly get down there.
Everyone listen!
Royal Uncle has already safely escaped, now we'll just capture and kill these thieves!
Royal Uncle will reward everyone generously!
Retreat!
This Thunderbolt Explosive, what is it made of?
Why is it so dangerous?
From what I know, this Thunderbolt Explosive
is not made with the traditional fire oil.
It's a very special kind of fire oil.
You don't need fire to ignite it,
you only need to hit it and it will explode.
Its power cannot be guarded against.
In Jianghu, other than Han Zhang, who else makes such bombs?
In the past, in Thunderbaolt Hall there were still a few who knew how.
But now, other than Han Zhang
there's no one else in the Jianghu.
Just one Bai Yutang has already caused such chaos,
now there is another Second Rat Han Zhang,
won't it just lead to more people dying and horses getting sick?
Royal Uncle-
Let's talk somewhere else.
Leader Shen, what do you want to say?
They come and leave as they please, right?
We keep fighting all the time.
It is really annoying for all of us.
It's been so long
and you haven't caught even one hair off their heads. I want to scold all of you.
Royal Uncle, what I mean is
even if you get the guards to stop them,
they'll never be caught. These people have a lot of countermeasures against the guard's chase.
Don't say such useless things.
Tell me your plan.
It's like this Royal Uncle. I plan to disguise myself as a commoner,
then observe the situation in Chenzhou.
You think, these people are in Chenzhou so they must have a place to stay here.
As long as I find their camp,
then we can send guards there and capture all of them!
Royal Uncle you are smart!
This is a great idea. If one person isn't enough we'll send more.
Leader Shen, then you don't need to personally go.
Royal Uncle it's like this.
Although our Talent Recruitment Club is big and has a lots of members,
it is a mixture of good and bad ones.
If you send anyone out,
what if they cannot watch their mouths or actions
and cause something to happen? We would fail!
So I think
that in this case, it's quality, not quantity, that matters.
Fine. Then this task will be given to you.
Quickly go find where those rats are hiding.
I accept your order.
So beautiful.
So so beautiful.
The sunset, the sunset.
Aiya, Third Master,
don't keep staring at Sister Chunlan!
Look at us too.
Exactly, look at you!
Look at me too.
Two people together are good.
Four seasons to become rich.
Five, the Wooden Man's Bride hand.
You lost!
Give me your face.
Come!
So fragrant!
You're so stupid! Master, let me play with you now.
Come.
Third Master, do well!
Two people together are good.
Six successes. (Six is a lucky number in China.)
Four seasons to become..
Master you have lost!
Oh I lost, I lost.
Then you guys say, how should I be punished?
Your punishment is... you crawl under the table!
-Right! Go under! -What? Go under the table?
Alright, I will crawl!
You are so naughty. See how I will punish you later.
Third Master, hurry and crawl!
Fine, fine, fine!
Oh? Prefectural Magistrate?
Capture him.
Prefectural Magistrate, what's this for?
His Majesty has an order. He ordered the Royal Guards to capture you.
What?
What are you doing? Get out!
Do what to get out?temple
The person who is opening a store doesn't even allow people to enter.
- Move!- Why should I get out?
I'm afraid that after you entered, other customers don't dare coming in.
Ah?...That is weird.
The people will eat their meal. The beggar will eat the beggar's meal.
A well's water doesn't mix with the river. (Everyone minds their own business.)
If other people don't come in,
this means that your store's food isn't that good.
You want to be hit, don't you?
Today, this beggar is feeling very well. I won't fight with you.
Let me tell you,
as long as you bring good wine and good food to the table, and this beggar eats his full,
then I won't fuss with you.
Our store has good wine and good food.
But this thing... do you have any?
What?
Money, silver.
That's not right. Money is money. Silver is silver.
Money is yellow and silver is white. Money is flat,
silver is pieces by pieces. Understand?
There is also piles by piles, stacks by stacks.
Piles by piles is called shit.
Those that are stacks by stacks,
this beggar hasn't seen them before.
Even if silver is pieces by pieces, do you have any?
Why should I show it to you? Do you think I don't have any?
If you had any, you wouldn't be a beggar. You would be a lord.
Lord, show me your pieces of silver.
Fortune is not to be brought to light.
Why should I show it to you? As long as you bring good wine and good food,
set it on the table, and I have eaten my full,
then I will give you my silver.
I'm sorry mister.
If I don't see silver, food and wine cannot be served.
Son of a bitch!
What's the matter? Even dogs look down on people!
You look down on this beggar?
Do you want to get hit?
He's hitting people! Help me!
Don't run! You haven't paid yet.
Someone wants to kill me!
Don't run!
Don't run, beggar!
- Someone's hitting me! Someone want to kill me!- Let's wait.
- Someone wants to kill me!- Don't go!
You haven't paid yet!
You rascal! Causing me trouble all day.
If I don't deduct 3 months of your pay, you won't learn, isn't it?
Say! What's going on?
Don't know where did this beggar come from. He's intentionally causing trouble here.
Rascal!
Just with Mister's attitude and imposing manner, does he look like a beggar?
That's right.
Sir, my waiter is ignorant.
I apologize on his behalf.
Your manner of speaking really shows you're a businessman.
Reasonable. Dependable. Not bad. Not bad.
Then Sir, what do you order?
I just want to eat some good foodand drink some good wine.
Just serve without hesitation. If I am unhappy with them,
then I'll give you one...
one li silver.
No problem. No problem.
Customer, please wait a while. The dishes and wine will be served soon.
Hey, why aren't you leaving to prepare the dishes and wine yet?
Wait!
What kind of person dares making a ruckus here?
Just someone who wants to eat for free.
That's right! I'm here just to get free meals and drinks.
Do you know Master Bai?
2 days ago, that Master Bai told me,
that if I'm hungry, I just need to cometo Hui Long Town.
Come to this restaurant. After eating, drinking and wiping my mouth clean, I can leave without paying.
Based on that, it seems that you know this Master Bai.
I don't just know this Master Bai.
I also know two men with Ding surname.
Those two masters Ding told me
that there's a girl in their household
who secretly left home
and caused trouble everywhere. They even told me
that when I saw that lady,
I should slap her on both cheeks then tie her up and send her home.
- You!- Hey...
What 'you'? Let me tell you.
Don't interrupt my eating mood.
After eating, I'll go to that river bank.
Sun bathe and have my afternoon nap.
- Owner- Yes?
I'll pay for his beggar's meal.
Okay. Thank you, Mister.
The effects of the alcohol should have worn off now, right?
It's indeed time to wake up already.
You really dared to come?
May I ask Brother how did you know my identity?
Could it be you've forgotten already?
Last night, we fought hard for 80 rounds.
Do you think I wouldn't notice what sect was your kungfu from?
So you got it from my kungfu.
Are you trying to deceive me?
But I got it right.
Then...you are Shen Zhongyuan?
Miss, I came here specifically looking for you.
Earlier, Fourth Master Jiang mentioned this inn to me, so I came here to try my luck.
Never thought my luck was so great. One try and I got it right.
Then Brother Shen, do you know where Bai Yutang is?
You're not with him?
Yesterday, We only arrived at Chenzhou yesterday. We haven't contacted him yet.
Who is it?
It's me, the waiter.
Come in then.
Second Master, Miss
What is it?
Someone told me to give this thing to Second Master.
W-what is this thing?
Don't know. It was brought by a kid.
K-kid?
He left already but he said that a man at the gate of Song Feng Temple gave it to him.
W-Where is S-Song Gong Temple?
After leaving town, go west In less than 2 miles, you'll arrive there.
O-okay. Y-you...
- You can leave now.- Okay.
Right.
F-fifth...
Brother Shen, I want to ask you one more person's whereabouts.
Who?
- Zhan Zhao - Zhan Zhao?
Why are you suddenly asking about this person?
Since Brother Shen has already discovered my identity,
I...won't hide it anymore from you.
But you must not tell anyone about this.
For Miss to trust me this much, I of course will not betray your trust.
Actually, I secretly left home this time all because of Zhan Zhao.
Because of Zhan Zhao?
Just two months ago, Zhan Zhao and I were engaged to be married.
He and I...can be considered to have met in a martial arts competition to find a groom.
A martial arts competition to find a groom?
To tell you the truth,
since I was 16 years old, there were men coming to ask for my hand in marriage nonstop.
To deal with these people, I told my brother
that if there were others coming to ask for my hand, to tell them
that unless they could beat me in martial arts, there wouldn't be any talk of marriage.
If I guess right, your family background is very deep. You have good looks and know martial arts.
Men coming to ask for you in marriage must have been pounding at your door to get in.
That's true too but they were all pushed out by me.
Except for that Zhan Zhao.
Really?
Did Zhan Zhao come attracted by your fame to join the martial arts competition and marry you?
That's not the case. He happened to pass by and visited out of respect.
But...he was asked by my Second Brother to stay.
Second Brother? Second Hero, Ding Zhaohui?
Indeed.
Didn't know that Hero Zhan was here and wasn't able to welcome you sooner. Please forgive us.
It just so happens that I passed by this area, hence, I visited.
I disturbed you. Hope you can forgive me.
Hero Zhan, we are all straightforward people. No need to be that polite.
Come, hurry and come inside.
- Hero Zhang, please.- Please.
Aiya! I'm so angry! I'm so angry!
So angry!
Really so angry!
It's not bad if you don't anger anyone else.
Who would dare anger you?
Isn't it all because of that damned Zhan Zhao?
This Zhan Zhao has great ability.
How did he anger you?
He didn't really anger me.
But he wants to anger you instead.
Me?
I am here alright.
What can he do to anger me?
Little Sister, don't get anxious. Let me tell you slowly .
Who's anxious? It's clearly you being restless.
As if there's fire on your butt.
The situation is like this. Earlier, when I went out,
Big Brother then called me.
He asked me why had you called me.
I said: "Er...Isn't it that the famous
Southern Hero Zhan Zhao is here? Little Sister asked me
to ask around regarding Southern Hero Zhan Zhao."
Big Brother asked me again saying:
"Then, what else did Little Sister say?"
I thought, "Zhan Zhao is sitting there",
so I added a few extra words.
I said: "Our little sister
much admires and is deeply fascinated by our Southern Hero's demeanor."
When did I say that? Who told you to add flowery words?
I've already said it, I just added it.
Then you tell me what should I do?
You!
I won't bicker with you anymore.
Then what did Zhan Zhao said?
That's the deplorable part. Do you know that he actually made a fuss about nothing?
He said: "Why? Is your family's young Miss also interested in martial arts people?"
I said: "Oh, my little sister also crudely knows some martial arts."
Do you know what he said?
He actually said: "I'm afraid it's just some lowly martial arts skills, right?"
Isn't that annoying?
You're lying to me. But I know what kind of person Zhan Zhao is.
You've seen Zhan Zhao?
Although I haven't seen him,
but if he really was as frivolous as you said,
I think that he wouldn't be so famous in the Jianghu.
Then you are suspecting my words?
Others' words, I am skeptical. But your words, I totally will not believe.
Second Young Master, First Young Master and Zhan Zhao have been at the martial arts arena a long time already.
First Young Master wants both of you to hurry and go there.
Why is he there?
Zhan Zhao will fight with you.
He is not asking for my hand so why will I fight with him?
Tell him to go home.
Right! That was also what I said to him.
But that Zhan Zhao wouldn't believe it.
He insisted on fighting with you. You tell me what should we do?
Go tell him. Just tell him to wait there.
I'll fight him in a while.
Yes.
Great! That's my little sister!
Then you should hurry and prepare.
Master Zhan, please.
Look how anxious our little sister is.
She's already here waiting.
I am Zhan Zhao. Nice to see you, Miss Ding.
I've heard of Southern Hero's name for so long.
Having the chance to see you today,
- hope you can teach me.- Same here.
We are all people of Jianghu, no need to be this polite with each other.
Please then.
Okay.
Excuse me.
♫ Our short life is like a dream so why be happy? ♫
♫ It is unable to withstand three long sighs. ♫
♫ Splendid clothing, lofty and unyielding character, a long sword with nine bells, ♫
♫ Can't fight against your charming eyes ♫
♫ Moving around in circles, in between a tune ♫
♫ Falling and bumping, years flow like river ♫
♫ Every twinkle and smile makes me drunk ♫
♫ If we ended up together, I won't change that even with a thousand gold ♫
♫ Until I met you ♫
♫ I don't care anymore about today, what day ♫
♫ The love line on our palm ♫
♫ entangles with memories; Like confidants, if they will just cherish each other, ♫
♫ it's far better than thousand of words ♫
♫ I'm not angry at separations ♫
♫ until I met you ♫
♫ Promises are treated as sugar coating ♫
♫ Who told me to get involved ♫
♫ A lover easily gets drunk so better just be an iron wall ♫
♫ Only for you ♫
Miss, careful!
♫ When the song stopped, everyone dispersed ♫
♫ Only you clearly understand my heart's regret ♫
Miss, indeed, has good martial arts skills.
I willingly admit my defeat.
Aiya, little sister, you're the one who lost.
Hero Zhan had already taken your earring
even before you took his jade pendant.
You just didn't notice it.
That's right. I saw it too with my own eyes.
Miss, I was disrespectful earlier.
This is your earring. I'm returning it to you.
Don't get happy too soon.
I also damaged a corner of this jade pendant of yours.
But I want to leave a remembrance from this competition.
How about...you give me this jade pendant as a present.
This pendant is a heirloom.
Although it's not worth much money,
in my eyes, it's a treasure.
If Miss Ding wouldn't mind,
it's also my honor.
Good, I'll take this then.
The earring...you can keep it.
So this means that between Miss and Zhan Zhao
there was a romantic affair.
Oh right, Miss. You said earlier
that you secretly left home
just to look for Zhan Zhao?
After Zhan Zhao was given the title Imperial Cat by the Emperor,
the Jiangnan Five Rats took this as a form of insult to them.
They have been trying to cause Zhan Zhao trouble since.
When I heard of this, I immediately traveled to the Eastern Capital
planning to provide him some help.
Never thought that after asking about him in the Eastern Capital,
I'd discover that Zhan Zhao had already betrayed Magistrate Bao
and had already sided with that Thief Pang, helping him do evil things.
About Zhan Zhao leaving Kaifeng Court,
I know a thing or two.
Miss, in Jianghu matters,
the real can be fake while fake can be real. It's weird and misty.
You must not look at it only superficially.
I also don't believe that Zhan Zhao
can commit such lowly things.
That's why I want to ask him face to face.
Mh...I understand Miss' apprehensions.
Brother Shen, then do you think Zhan Zhao
is in Chenzhou or in the Royal Family Garden?
No. At least at the Imperial Family Garden,
I have never seen Zhan Zhao.
Are you sure that he never was at the Imperial Family Garden?
Never.
Then the killer in Sang Hua Town...
Sang Hua Town? What Sang Hua Town?
Not long ago, at Sang Hua Town,
there appeared a rapist claiming to be Zhan Zhao.
He raped a lot of girls.
That can't be!
How could Zhan Zhao be a rapist?
Definitely impossible. Impossible!
I don't believe that Zhan Zhao could be like that either.
So after hearing about it, I immediately rushed there.
But carelessly, I was hit by his poisonous dart.
I almost died.
Oh? Then Miss was able to fight with him?
That criminal's martial arts skill was very good.
Then was Miss able to see whether he's the real Zhan Zhao
or a fake one?
I'm sure that he's not Zhan Zhao.
That's right.
When Miss met him in the martial arts competition for marriage,
you were wearing a mask.
You could see Zhan Zhao clearly
but Zhan Zhao couldn't see you.
Indeed.
But...everyone now
thinks that he's Zhan Zhao.
Then, can Miss can explain this to everyone?
How can I explain it? If anyone asks me
how can I be sure that this criminalis not Zhan Zhao,
how am I to answer?
That's right too.
Miss right now is disguised as a man,
having left home secretly.
You wouldn't be able to tell everyone
whether that Zhan Zhao is real or fake.
That's why I want to find him as soon as possible.
Let him show himself in front of the Five Rats.
Tell them the truth so that he can clear his name.
But...I'm also afraid to find him.
Why?
Even if he's not that rapist,
I think that he is also
a subordinate of Chancellor Pang.
I'm afraid that I won't control myself.
- and will stab him with my sword.- No.
Miss, if you kill him,
how will you live afterwards?
Just thinking that I'm to marry him
makes this heart of mine feel more unbearable.
That's why, Miss, still that same statement.
In Jianghu, real can be fake, fake can be real. They are misty and strange, hard to differentiate.
Miss, one must not be hasty.
I believe that one day when Miss sees Zhan Zhao
it won't be too late to ask him first to explain clearly.
Maybe things are not as what you've heard.
Furthermore, not as what you think.
Brother Shen, I think that since you're at the Pang residence,
you have more chances of seeing Zhan Zhao than me.
If one day you are able to see him,
you must think of a way to inform me.
Since MIss requested it, I will definitely do it.
Then I'll thank Brother Shen now.
Alright. Let's not talk about this thing anymore.
Let's talk about what's presently happening.
Talking about what's happening now,
is there any strange situation
happening at the Imperial Family Garden?
There's really none at present.
But there's one thing I haven't finished investigating yet.
- What thing?- A few nights ago,
a group of unknown men
escorted a criminal into the Imperial Family Garden.
Afterwards, there were no more news about that person.
If he's alive, I never saw him again. If he's dead, I never saw his corpse.
Who is that person?
That's right. I do need to really investigate this thing.
Brother Shen, I do have a plan.
Say it.
Right now, Magistrate Bao is being accused of a crime.
Being able to preserve his official position is already fortunate,
but he definitely will not be able to come to Chenzhou.
However...now...
if we want to eliminate Thief Pang's accomplices,
we can only rely on the righteous strength of the Jianghu.
You said it right.
We must indeed inform all the heroes and gallants in the world.
That's one side.
On the other side, since Zhan Zhao is not in the Imperial Family Garden,
then there's no one who can recognize
Second Master Han and Miss Ji.
I want to use Brother Shen's position
to let them into the Talent Recruitment Club,
pretending to be on Pang Yu's side.
Together, the three of you can grasp the situation inside clearly
and coordinate with those waiting outside.
When the time comes, we'll eliminate them together.
Nice plan!
Can we find Fifth Uncle in Song Feng Temple?
Since Fifth left a clue,
t-then we can d-definitely find him.
M-m-master
Amituofo (Buddhist chant, also used as greeting). Are you here in our temple
for tour or to repay a vow?
W-we are here j-just to leisurely look around.
Are you Second Master Han?
It's i-indeed me.
There's a Mister Jin waiting for youin the prayer room.
Please follow me.
Sorry to trouble Master.
Please go inside.
- Thank you, Master.- Amituofo.
F-f-fifth!
- Second Brother- F-f-fifth
Good.
Hey, this lady is?
F-fifth,
l-let me introduce to you first.
This is your not yet
official Second Sister-in-law.
- Greetings Fifth Uncle - Oh, so it's Second Sister-in-law.
Greetings, Second Sister-in-law.
Fifth Uncle, no need for formalities.
I heard yesterday that someone caused a huge ruckus at the Imperial Family Garden,
and someone used a Thunder Fire Bomb.So I immediately knew that Second Brother was here.
Master Yue already guessed
that as long as we go to the Imperial Family Garden,
Fifth Uncle would surely contact us.
Yue Hua is also here?
Customer, Second Master said
that they'll be going to Song Feng Temple.
- Thank you.- Take care.
Then that means that Magistrate Bao can't come to Chenzhou anymore.
Who would've thought that Magistrate Bao, an upright, honorable, and incorruptible official,
would also have such an evil family member.
If I'd known this would happen, I would have just killed that Pang Yu.
Big Brother already instructed us
to cause more trouble here in Chenzhou.
What's the use of only causing trouble? After 3 to 5 times,
Pang Yu is already vigilant.
If we want to attack again, it will be very difficult.
Fifth, regardless of how vigilant he is,
we must continue causing ruckus.
One hour ago,
- did a man and a woman come here?- Amituofo!
- It's Master Yue!- There were a lot of people who went here
to pray today.
Don't know which two are you talking about?
The male one is tall and brawny.
He stutters a little when he talks.
The female one is tall.
Second Sister-in-law
Thank you, Master.
Come with me then.
- Second Master - Master Yue
- Do you have news of Fifth Master yet?- No.
I don't have news about Fifth.
Then Fifth Master will be in great trouble already.
What trouble?
Do you know who was that beggar
in the inn this morning?
It's Shen.
It's him?
He gave me very big news.
He said that a few days ago, Pang Yu
secretly brought a criminal into the Imperial Family Garden.
After entering, that person
wasn't seen again, alive or dead.
Then...who could it be?
If my guess is right,
it must be Fifth Master.
Fifth Uncle Bai?
That can't be.
Why can't it be?
I'm saying that Fifth Uncle's martial arts skills are very good.
He would definitely not end up in Thief Pang's hands.
It's exactly because his martial arts skills are good
that he is so stubborn
and full of himself.
Always thinking that he's the world's no. 1.
Not knowing that there are other people out there, other skies out there.
If one day he really meets someone with better skills than him,
he will definitely suffer a big loss.
Master Yue, don't also say things like that
about my brother.
Isn't saying it like that
a bit exaggerated?
Even though he is your own brother,
don't you know Master Fifth's
attitude of having an eye higher than the sky (arrogant) and a heart smaller than a needle hole (petty)?
Even if you want to lecture him now, you won't be able to find him anymore.
Enough already, Master Yue.
Let's not talk about this anymore.
I can be definite in telling you
that Fifth did not end up with the criminal's hands.
Fine. We'll follow what you said.
He wasn't arrested by Pang Yu,
I reckon that he must have escaped into a rat hole
after being taken by people from the Talents Recruitment Club.
- Yue - Second Master Han, don't misunderstand me.
What I mean is the Earth Penetrating Rat digs holes
to bury his bombs.
The Mountain Rat digs holes to attack his enemies.
Only the Sleek Rat digs holes
because of fear of his enemies.
Master Yue, what do you mean by that?
You keep on attacking Fifth.
What did Fifth do to you?
Because you guys still don't know.
Bai Yutang has not been to the Imperial Family Garden for several days already.
Then maybe it's because that criminal's defense is too strong.
Fifth Master can't find a vulnerability.
Right now, it's not only the government who's after him.
There are also men from the Talents Recruitment Club
who are asking around everywhere.
I think that this Bai Yutang
can't even get out of Chenzhou now.
Yue, are you finished with your scolding?
Was it fun?
Let me tell you. I'm not afraid of you.
I just don't want to see you.
Aiyo, Fifth Master Bai,
I think your mouse hole-penetrating skill
is really getting better.
There was no shadow of you coming in or traces of you going out.
Not the tiniest sound when you come and go.
Enough already!
We have an important enemy to face.
That's right. We are all friends here.
There's no knot that can't be untied.
in the next episode
