The Three Heroes and Five Gallants Episode 27
Is Master Yang here?
Hurry and come in! Hurry and come in!
Father!
The two of you are...
We are the people that Master Jin mentioned about.
But he clearly said two ladies.
Miss, don't misunderstand. She's actually also a girl like me.
It's more convenient for traveling,
that's why she disguised herself as a man.
I was just saying earlier thatthis mister is quite handsome.
But he's actually a sister.
Then Miss, can you take me somewhere to change my clothes?
Alright. Sister, please come with me.
Thank you.
Musician Yang.
Miss, what songs do you know?
I can sing Subei songs and some Fengyang flower-drum songs.
Knowing just these songs will not be enough.
As a performer, you must at least know some elegant ancient tunes.
Elegant ancient tunes?
Then...I can try singing "Yue Long Sha"( Moon Covered Sand). ['sanqu' style poem by Zhang Kejiu, 1270-1346]
♫ Bird cry in the night.Willow branches and moon entwined drunkenly sway.♫
♫ Embroidered slippers hold the fragranceof the damp mossy path ♫
♫ I scratch my head confused. The remaining lamps carves away the lonely shadow ♫
Jia! Jia! Jia!
Yu!
Customer, you must be tired from your travel.
Come inside. I've already prepared a high quality room for you.
- Please come in.- Alright.
Father.
Master.
Miss Yue was quite handsome and elegant when disguised as a man.
Now that you've returned to your female appearance,
you're more bright, beautiful and attractive, making an old man like me
dazzled while looking at you.
How can that be? Master is joking.
Sister Yue Hua, what can you sing?
I...know a few Jiangnan songs.
Master said that local songs might not be enough. We might need to sing something more elegant.
Then...can I just play a pipa [Chinese lute] or a zither?
We have a pipa. Miss, can you play?
I can play some simple tunes.
Then, I'll go get if for you.
Customer, please wait.
Why?
Customer, to tell you the truth.
Our establishment has been fully booked by a big customer.
If you're here for a snack or for a room, I must trouble you to go somewhere else instead.
I hope customer can understand.
Oh, you got a big business, is that it?
Customer, not really.
How long did he reserve the whole inn?
He reserved the whole inn for one night.
Oh, one night...
but today I'm here to discuss a bigger business deal.
Another big business?
Very big.
Then that's good. I'll just call our owner.
Owner!
This customer wants to discuss a big business deal with us.
- Big business?- Yes.
Customer, with pleasure. With pleasure.
Customer, you are...?
Jingang fingers? [Vajrapani, Buddha's warrior attendant]
Warrior, feel free to tell me your instructions.
There's nothing I wouldn't follow. Nothing.
This half is my deposit.
Don't worry. We kill the rich to help the poor,those we attack are heartless, evil, rich overlords,
and also the corrupt officials that oppress the people.
We won't hurt small business people like you.
Then...customer...what you want is...?
I have a small favor that you can help me with, Boss.I wonder whether you're willing or not?
I am willing to be of service.
♫ Morning rain at Weicheng has settled the dust ♫
♫ The willows in the tavern yard are again green ♫
♫ Sir, let's empty one more cup of wine ♫
♫ No old friends are to be found West of the Changuan Pass ♫[Wang Wei, 699-759]
Fifth Master, you're here.
Yo, Master Jin is here.
Yin and yang have reversed...
Second-in-command, everything has been prepared.
- Lead the way.- Yes.
Old Chang, that...t-this is a b-big market fair.
Royal Uncle instructed us before we left
to let everyone pretend to be merchants.
- Merchants?- Right.
Fine.
Then good.
Respectfully greeting you, Master.
Are you the owner?
I am, indeed.
- Lead the way.- Okay.
Sir,
everyone! Please come in!
Fellow servants at the back, you worked hard!
Exert a little more effort. Push all the carriages to the backyard.
Alright?
Guard him well. I'll be staying in the next room. If anything happens, call me.
Yes.
Second-in-command,
- Have you all settled in?- All have settled in.
Second-in-command...
Say it.
Second-in-command, this is a big market town.
Can we follow Royal Uncle's instructions and let everyone have some fun?
Leader Zhang also reminded me to show a merchant appearance.
Okay. Set up a banquet.
Then get some girls to sing some songs.
- Isn't that looking like a merchant?- Good.
Wait. Remember the rules that we set before.
Eat just enough. Limit drinking. No sleeping with the girls.
Have fun but be careful.
Yes.
Second in command,
How's the dinner preparation?
The chef is cooking it now. I saw him kill the goat, chicken and ducks.
I personally bought the wines outside.
Have you sent people to watch the kitchen?
I've sent two persons.
Remember,
30 minutes before the banquet starts, send someone to open all the wine pots.
Then, drink 1 mouthful from each pot.
Yes.
Second in command, I'll go ask the owner to hire some singing girls.
Make sure they're local.
We don't want any outsiders.
I understand.
Go and check the stable.
Okay, boss.
Hey, Sir.
Owner...Are there any good singing girls here in this town?
We have a Master Yang here.
He specializes in performing music in tea houses and taverns.
He has 2 girls in his household who are really good singers.
Is this Master Yang a local or an outsider?
He has been living here for a long time.
Good. Tell that Master Yang and his two girls to come over quickly.
I'll go right away, right away.
Brothers!
You've worked hard. You've worked hard, brothers.
Look. The dishes are getting cold. Why haven't we started to eat yet?
We'll start the dinner soon as the wines are served.
That's not important. More important is, are there girls or not?
There are. There are.
There are girls!
Everyone.
Second-in-command.
Everyone, sorry for making you wait.
Everyone, please sit down.
Let's start the banquet now.
Aiya, everyone, sorry to keep you waiting.
Hurry and serve the wines.
Okay. Okay.
You may leave now. We'll pour the wine.
Yes. Yes. Master, enjoy your meal.
- Let's go.- Okay.
Everyone, no need for formalities.
Let's begin. Although there's not much wine,we must play the part well.
We must shout loud and festive enough.
Come! Everyone, cheers!
Cheers! Cheers!
Remember Royal Uncle's instructions,we can drink but not get drunk.
Continue.
Come, second-in-command, please...
Everyone, the boss has instructed
for you guys to rest early once you're full.
You'll still have to travel a long way tomorrow.
Okay, we know.
Yo, Master Yang, you're here already.
Owner, are we late?
Not late. Not late. Come with me then.
Fine. Have to trouble you.
Second-in-command, I'll give you a toast.
- Please. - Everyone, let's drink together!
Drink together!
Cheers!
- Aiya, come, eat, eat.- Second in command,
the singers are here.
Let them in.
Come in.
This is Second in Command.
Fine. Respectfully greeting Second in Command.
Old Yang, what relation do these girls have with you?
Master Second, they are both my daughters.
This is my eldest, Yang Ping.
Hello, Second-in-command.
This is my second daughter, Yang Juan.
Hello, Second-in-command.
What songs can you girls sing?
You choose.
Second in command.
Just sing any two good songs.
Yes. Yes.
Yu!
Ladies!
Such big guts!
Get up! Surround them!
You...what are you doing?
Look at my eyes.
Look at my punch!
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Everyone, don't panic. Don't panic.
Everyone, sit down. Sit down.
Drink. Drink.
Second-in-command, you were...?
That girl looked a lot like an old friend.
That's why I casually played a friendly little joke on her.
Drink wine! Listen to music!
♫ The wind is light. The moon is bright ♫
♫ The cicadas won't stop making a sound. ♫
♫ The flowers' fragrance is making people drunk. ♫
♫All is as in a magical performance.I don't have any older or younger sisters... ♫
Can you sing "18 Touches"? Sing "18 Touches" for us!
Enough already. Why so noisy?
The two of you come over here.
Give our second in c-command a...a t-t-to,,,
a toast.
Right!
Come, hurry up.
Right. Right. Right. Give a toast.
Come. Hurry and give a toast.
Come. Eat.
Come, fill our Second-in-command's cup with wine.
The wine jar is empty, shall I refill it for you?
Go go go. Hurry.
This one is empty too.
Hurry fill it up.
Don't waste time.
Second-in-command, let me refill your cup.
Fine.
Miss, you really know the rules.
Please.
Since you've poured wine for me, you must drink with me.
I don't think that is right.
You have so many people here...
If all of them want me to drink with them, I'll get drunk soon.
How can I sing for you then?
Don't drink with the others,
just me alone.
Are you trying to fool me?
How could I?
Just this one cup, I won't make it hard on you.
I'm still waiting for music.
Alright.
Then I'll drink this to express my respect.
Good. Refill it for me.
I'll get a new cup for you.
No need! I want this cup.
It's been touched by the red lips of a beauty,the wine in it will have a very rich bouquet.
It's good wine indeed!
Good wine. Good wine...
Come, Sir, let me refill your cup.
Feed me.
You, what's your name? Go-go round q-q-quickly and ser-serve wine to everyone!
Hurry up.
Brothers. Let us all make a toast together to... to...
Second-in-command!
Come!
Let's say something co-con-congratulatory!
I wish myself a long life!
Good! Have a l-long life!
May wine always flow!
Right, may wine always flow!
May our transport be a success.
Come, come. Let's drink up.
Hero.
Is everyone else asleep already?
Yes they are. Except the ones upstairs are still drinking.
Respectfully greeting you.
So it is a female hero!
Right, right.
Hey, take us in!
Please, follow me.
Aiya...we've been travelling so long. I'm so hungry now!
I want to eat mantou.
Owner, do you have any mantou?
We have. We have. I'll go get it.
There's mantou.
The mantous are here. Heroine, please have some.
Thank you.
This...then, may I ask the two of you to hide here first.
Fine. Fine. Go back to your work.
Drink. Drink. Sit. Sit.
I'll play another song.I hope everyone will like it.
We like it. We like it.
Good.
Ready...start.
S-s-sing!
♫ Morning rain at Weicheng has settled the dust ♫
(Burp!)
Sigh...they're finally singing this song.
What's with singing this song?
What's with it?
They succeeded!
Oh...
Say, the guys in front are drinking and listening to music.
Having fun like the immortals in Heaven.
If only we had some wine! Even one small pitcher would be good enough.
Guarding this useless lump. So unlucky!
Who's there?
- I'm bringing you wine and food.- Wine?
Go and take a look.
Customer, enjoy.
Look! Such a big bug! So scary!
Master Bao, let's go now.
Eh? Why aren't you paying attention to me?
So it's a bewitching drug.
Master Yang, your daughter is already waiting for you at the town's East gate.
You must leave tonight.
Alright. Then I'll go now.
The two of you, be very careful.
Take care!
Hero.
Why are you still here?
Hurry and go into hiding for some time.
If anyone asks, say that we are from Kaifeng Court.
If they won't believe you,
tell them to go to the Capital and ask Magistrate Bao.
I'll remember. I'll remember.
Sister Qiukui.
Yalan! Hey, this lady is...
I'm Yue Hua.
Master Yue?
Why are you wearing woman's clothes?
Doesn't matter for now. Give me the sword.
Let's go get our horses.
Hurry, get up! Get up!
I said get up!
Second-in-command! Second-in-command, hurry and wake up!
What? You startled me!.
It's a catastrophe! A huge catastrophe!
What catastrophe?
We fell for the thieves' trick. Everyone lost consciousness.
Oh, crap!
- Get up! Quickly! - Get up!
Get up!
Get up! All of you get up!
Quickly get up!
Woe is me! Agh!
Second-in-command!
Hurry and get up!
They're not d-dead, they're still breathing.
My Goddess of Mercy!
Immortal gods!
What am I going to do?
All of you, get up! There's been a catastrophe!
Get your weapons and let's go!
Go to the back and get the horses.
Co-come with me! Hurry!
Why are you just standing there?
Hurry up and get the horses and chase them!
Chase? Ch-ch-chase?
Oh, crap! Can you stop stuttering now?
They definitely headed to the Eastern Capital.
We must get ahead of them!
Snatch that man back!
We can't catch up with them.
Our horses are all gone!
It's true.
Oh, crap!
Mister. Mister?
Are you awake?
You...who are you people?
We're the people Justice Bao hired to rescue you.
Second-in-command, hurry and think what we should do now.
I don't even want my life.
How can I come up with some plan?
Brother Zhang, you can't stay silent.
Say something.
Second-in-command, d-don't g-get too anxious.
Don't get angry. Right now, we m-must not be thrown into co-confusion.
I think that if that person's g-gone, we m-must chase after him, right?
Even without horses, we m-must find a way to buy horses to c-catch up wi---with--with them.
But if we buy horses, it'll have to be tomorrow, and by then we can't catch up.
My Goddess of Mercy!
Immortal Gods!
My life, how can it be so hard?
Second-in-command, crying is no use.Think of a way.
Exac-c-ctly.
This isn't something to c-cry about. Stop crying, right?
But I also think it's strange.
They didn't steal the gold, silver or p-precious items.
They just took M-Master Wang.
How m-m-much is this Master Wang worth?
You're right.
What do you guys understand?
Although this Master Wang
is not gold, silver, jewelry, or treasure, pearl or carnelian...
he is priceless.
Priceless? Isn't he just a p-person. How m-much can he--
You, you you you you you
you, everyone's lives added together,
won't make up for how much he's worth!
Second-in-command, before we left, Master instructed
that if anything happened, we had to inform him and the Chancellor immediately.
Inf- inform him my ass!
We d-don't even have horses. How can we co-co-communicate the news?
You're right. We don't have horses but we have messenger pigeons.
Messenger pigeons!
You're right, messenger pigeons.
Are the messenger pigeons here?
I don't know.
Useless! God, please protect me. Those pigeons must not be missing!
Second-in-command!
How could we have forgotten about the messenger pigeons?
Good thing the pigeons are still here.
Second-in-command, hurry and release the messenger pigeons.
Master and Chancellor most likely are waiting for them.
You can't let them go! It's dark, if you let them go now, they definitely won't go in the right direction.
Brother Chang is right. Second-in-command depends only on these two messenger pigeons now.
Give them more food, make them full. As soon asit becomes light, send them out.
You can't feed them too much. If you do, they won't be able to fly.
But if they aren't fed until they're full, they'll lack energy.
Do you think these two pigeons are male or female?
Why does it matter if they are male or female?
If they're male,
what do we do if halfway along the journey they find a female?
If they're female,
what to do if halfway along the journey they find a male?
What if halfway along the journey they get together and don't come back, what are we going to do then?
That's true, that's true.
Stop! You bunch of pitiless little assholes!
Will you allow me to live or not?
Get out!
Listen carefully!
Split into groups. Look for local headmen and animal peddlers.
And also, spread the word that we will be buying lots of horses.
What if people aren't willing to sell them?
Set a higher price.
What if they don't want to selleven at a higher price?
Then...then...
Please forgive me, Second-in-command.
Then snatch them!
No matter what,
you must find ten horses before noon.
- Get out!-Yes, sir!
Get out, all of you!
Get out!
[Chancellor's Residence]
Respectfully greeting Father-in-law.
Don't bother with the greetings if you're not feeling well. Leave.
Father-in-law, I reckon the people from Chenzhou should be reaching the Capital by tomorrow.
The person hasn't arrived yet, I still can't get that weight out of my chest.
Should we go out of the city to meet them?
If we make such a big move, it might alarm Black Bao.
Chancellor! Chancellor!
- Chancellor!- Why are you in a panic?
- The pigeon. - A messenger pigeon?
Yes, it just came here today!
Hurry, quickly see if there's any message.
Here here here.
Give it here!
Catch it! Catch it!
Get it over here!
Hurry and get the letter!
What's the use of a pigeon? Hurry up!
Letter! Letter.
The treasure was lost at Ding Family Marketplace.
Chancellor! Chancellor!
Chancellor...
You wait here for a moment.
Master Yue, a word, in private.
We're not far from the Capital now.
I estimate that we'll arrive there by tomorrow morning.
What? Are you thinking of going on leave again?
How could I?
But based on my deduction, the people chasing us will arrive soon.
I must go stop them!
They don't even have one horse, how are they going to chase us?
Aren't horses easy to get? They can get horses in half a day!
But they can't catch up.
But don't forget,
this criminal Pang Ji is very sinister and cunning. He would be fully prepared for anything.
Based on your words, I guess we really have to prepare for the worst.
Of course.
So the 3 of you should escort Third Young Master Bao while I take care of things here.
Right now, excluding Master Bao, we still have four people left.
The way I see it, we can split up and go two routes.
Qiukui and I protect and escort Third Young Master Bao
while you and Miss Yalan ward off the enemies.
Of course we can't do that.
The most important thing now is Third Young Master Bao's life and safety.
That's why he must be protected and escorted by the three of you.
You don't need to bother about me.
Bai Yutang, I want to ask you a question.
Please ask.
Why are you so cold towards Miss Yalan?
Are you finished? Goodbye!
Hey, you...
Father-in-law, we must make prompt decisions.
Bao Shirong will definitely go in the direction of the Capital.
Pang Wang and his men will definitely chase in the direction of the Capital.
We must send men immediatelyto intercept them.
With converging attacks on their front and back, we can definitely turn the tables around.
If our activity here is excessive, it's bound to alarm Bao Zheng.
Those rats will come out of their lair.
So what? Let's just face them head to head then!
Fine! Fine! Fine! Do you know that our strength here
is way inferior to Black Bao's side?
Then are we just going to watch Bao Shirong strutting into the Eastern Capital?
Looks like all we can do is kill that fake Bao Shirong
and also Third Rat Xu Qing and Bao Xing.
Right.
Let's leave Black Bao without any witnesses.
Even if the real Bao Shirong gets through all the obstacles and reaches the Capital,
we just need to insist that he's a fake
while the one who died was the real one.
Your Majesty, please have tea.
How's the situation with Bao Zheng?
I already asked men to investigate. They are staying in an inn.
They have been busy buying things every day.
I infer that those are gifts for his relatives and friends in his province
How about the people in the Capital?
Much the same. They're just living their own little lives.
That's strange.
Before, when Bao Zheng was on outside duty, every time he was leaving a place,
the local people used to light incense and kneel to send him off.
How come the Capital's people are not showing any respect at all?
Your Majesty, I think it's like this,
before, the people wept and knelt for him
because he was a fair and just magistrate.
But now, he protected Third Young Master Bao in his illegal activities,
So he's now dirty and stinky.
That's why the people, naturally, are not as they used to be,
treating him as one of their own parents.
This is what public sentiment is.
Informing Your Majesty, Chancellor Pang requests an audience.
- Send him in.- Yes.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
What big thing happened for you to come and see me at this time?
