Brother Jing, what happened to you?
l was passing by just now when l saw him tied up in the water. So l saved him
l didn't expect him to immobilise me after that
l told you not to be too kind-hearted
Do you know he is highly-skilled?
Who is he?
He must be from the same gang as those beggars we saw last night
No matter which gang he is with
we must find him and get the Book from him
Let's go to the gathering place of the beggars
lf he is one of them we will find him for sure
Alright
That silly old beggar is a fool for going against me
Long live our Leader
l've told you not to stand on ceremony Please rise...
- Thank you Sir - Alright
- Ah Lai, go and buy a roast chicken - Alright
Wait... Buy a soy sauce chicken too Go on
Ah Lai's Qinggong Skill has improved greatly
l remember he used to take more than two hours to buy a roast chicken
This time, l think the chicken will still be warm when he returns
Young people are getting more capable!
Sir, do you remember Xiao Fu of E'zhou Section?
l remember! He's your nephew
Yes! He's had several achievements since joining Beggar Sect
The position for Deputy Section Leader of E'zhou is vacant right now
Sir, how about...
Has he really not done anything wrong before?
He hasn't, Sir
18th April, he was drunk on the streets of E'zhou and beat up two passersby
On the 16th of this month, he ate at Tianxiang lnn and refused to pay
Don't these count as wrongdoings?
Sir, you know and see everything indeed
- My respects to you - Please get up
Thank you, Sir
How about this
- We'll degrade him to Recognised Member - Yes Sir
All of you senior members
should guide the younger ones more
Yes Sir
- Anything else to report? - Yes Sir
l've just received news that
the Leader of the Section in Zhengzhou died of a stroke
There's no Leader now Please make a decision, Sir
EElder Pen
l must trouble you to make the trip and
stand in for the time being
until a new leader is selected
This is an urgent matter, you...
What's that aroma?
lt can't be Ah Lai back so soon from buying roast chicken
- Who can it be? - Leader...
Alright...
l have something important to see to Let's meet again in an hour
l know it's a trap
lt's not so easy to trap me
But...
Luckily the chicken's alright
lt's you two again?
l've told you to stop following me l don't have that Book anymore
Stop pretending
We've just seen your going into the beggars' hideout. You're with them!
Whatever l'm going to fill my stomach first
You want chicken? Have some sand instead!
Help! Help!
Hurry up and tell us
GGuo Jing
Please tell us, sir or we'll take further action
Let's not waste our time
Tell us now where the Book is
Why do you keep asking the same question? Can we change the topic?
He thinks we're joking
l am giving you one last chance
Hurry up and tell me Where did you hide the Book?
Guo Jing, l've been looking for you l am going to suck your blood dry
Go now
Help me save Brother Jing
- Save him? - Hurry
He is related to you But who is he to me?
Young lass, l can't even defeat you
How can l fight him? l am sorry l can't help
Since you're so pitiful l'll help you this time
- Hey you! You! - Help!
- Who are you? - l'm the seventh (qi) one
You can call me Little Qi
Mind your own business or l'll beat you up as well
Really? l'd like to try that
The 18 Dragon Subduing Palms
Sir, are you the Leader of Beggar Sect, Hong Qigong?
l said you could call me Little Qi
Guo Jing has bitten my treasured snake and sucked its blood dry
l am merely doing the same back to him
Please do not stop me, Sir
He bit your snake?
That's easy l'll treat you to a chicken drumstick
And we are even, alright? Go now
Get lost
You bad girl. l've had enough of you
Sir
So, you're Hong Qigong
Your 18 Dragon Subduing Palms is really impressive
Brother Jing if you can learn his skill
you won't have to fear Liang Ziweng anymore
Although Hong Qigong saved my life
l must still find out where the Book is
Alright
He's there
Sir
Why do the two of you keep following me?
- Sir, that Book... - lt has been burned!
Stop pretending, you stupid beggar
What did you call me? Don't you remember how you begged me just now?
Alright then, l'll call you 'Sir' Where is the Book?
Leader
Yes?
The delivery to Shu Mi Office is done
l don't have the Book, but l do have a letter from Master Zheng of Shu Mi Office
Look carefully, there's a seal on it too
You troublemakers
Do you think you're very clever? You even injured two of my men
- Sir, l didn't know they... - Well, now you do
l'm sorry to have offended you, Sir
Rong-er, let's go
We can't just leave like that
We should whip up a few dishes to make up for bothering Sir
Right?
Are you really so kind or do you just want to poison me?
Forget it
Let's go
Jing, what do you want to eat tonight? l'll buy some ingredients
Anything will do
How about Chicken with Stuffed Shrimps and Fermented Duck's Tongue?
Duck's Tongue?
You don't like that?
What about Steamed Long Men Carp?
Great!
What kind of soup should l make?
- Pearl Fish Eyeball Soup - Alright!
Brother Jing, l can even make you a Dragon Tiger Phoenix with Garoupa!
- ls that so? - l'm sure you'll love it
Really?
l've never heard of this dish before l don't think they even exist
Sir, how can you not have heard of this dish before?
But l guess it is because this is a royal cuisine for the emperor
Can you tell me what is the Dragon Tiger Phoenix?
Dragon refers to flower snake
What's Tiger?
Masked civet
- And Phoenix? - Bamboo chicken
lt tastes great and is nutritious too
Really?
But how are your cooking skills?
What do you think of the roast chicken?
- lt's not bad - Really?
l did that without much thought
Really?
This is nothing! Save your stomach for a feast of my dishes tonight!
This naughty girl can be quite lovable sometimes
That smells great! Rong-er, well done!
Not everyone's a glutton like you!
Well, we can save money from eating out if you cook all the time!
Dream on!
Sir, try my dishes
Go in and get some chairs
How is it?
Good...
l want to ask you something
Hurry up and ask
What do you think of Brother Jing?
He's a little silly
Yes, he's a little silly
And you're so honest yourself You'd be a great teacher for him!
What?
You want me to be his teacher?
Sir, you're so smart
He's such a slow learner, l might have a stroke trying to teach him
No, he'll be a hardworking disciple
lf you disagree, you can't have my dishes
- l hate conditions - Sir
l'm not threatening you
lf you want something you must pay the price
l'm a reasonable person
For every dish you eat, teach him one stroke. Four strokes in total
Four...
lt's a good deal
l guarantee these will be the best dishes you've ever tasted
Think carefully
They won't taste as good cold
Rong-er, don't be like this
He's not eating. You go ahead
l hate terms and conditions
l know you're highly skilled lmagine what people will say
if they hear of how the Beggar Sect Leader stole food by force
Alright, l'll let you have one more piece
Don't worry. This one is for free
lsn't that delicious? Do you want to finish it all?
This tastes terrible. Throw it all away
ls that so?
Don't regret it
Rong-er, Rong-er
Rong-er
- Let's see how long he can hold out for - Rong-er
Rong-er, since Master Hong likes the food so much, let him have some
l'd rather feed the pigs than to let him eat
Rong-er
Don't speak for him. l won't compromise
You...
Why are you so stubborn and unreasonable?
You're scolding me?
He did save our lives
How can we treat him like that?
- But he... - lt's up to him to impart his skills
We cannot force him
When you tore up his clothes and pushed him into the sea, l didn't scold you then
But now you...
Brother Jing, don't be angry with me
You think l'm spoilt and unreasonable
But l'm doing it all for you
My father is a proud man lf he finds out your skills are so bad
he will disapprove of our marriage
Rong-er
How can you succeed in your grand plan of revenge with your current skills?
Rong-er
l promise you
even if Master Hong doesn't teach me
l will work hard on my own to improve my skills
l am serious
Thief!
l won't let him eat if he doesn't teach you
He really loves to eat
l'm going to rest for a bit, watch this for me. Don't let him have any!
Sir
Sir, help yourself while it's still warm
Where's the naughty lass?
She's sleeping in the room She won't find out
- Have some yourself - No, thank you
Don't be mistaken that l will teach you just because you're giving me food
l'm not expecting that
- Who are your teachers? - Seven Freaks of Jiangnan
Those freaks? lt's no wonder your skills are so bad
My teachers are very good to me
You're quite a respectful disciple
What an irritating tree
- Sir, l have an idea - What is it?
lf you eat over there, the tree won't bother you and you'll be more comfortable
Why should l move because of a tree?
Destroy it
Sir, this is a big tree
- How do l destroy it? - That's easy
Just follow my instructions
Put your feet in the position of gan
Concentrate your 'qi' at the lower part of abdomen
Stay focus
Channel your internal energy to the acupuncture points at Huiyin and Quchi
Push out both of your palms
Sir, it's not working
You're really stupid. Here, hold this
Stand over here
Sir, you're willing to teach Brother Jing?
Says who? l merely wanted him to destroy the tree for me
Sir, you're so kind l'll make you more dishes
l have my motives for teaching him
What motives?
l just want him to be able to deal with you, you naughty girl
Ziweng, what happened?
l went to look for Guo Jing
But...
Don't look for him again for the time being
Ziweng, listen to me
Hong Qigong has arrived in Linan
and is now with Guo Jing
l must seek revenge
l understand
But we must prioritise
This is the Fourth Prince of Mongolia
He has arrived in Song with his men
to convince the Song people to fight Jin with them
Ziweng
Anyone who goes against Jin must not live
l will entrust you and Master Ouyang with this task
Huazheng
Big brother
l've been looking everywhere for you
Look at how big the condor is!
lndeed!
l seldom see such large condor in Central Plains
Time flies
lt seems like it was only yesterday
when Jing shot those condors
Now they're everywhere
But Jing...
Huazheng
Don't worry
l've sent men out to look for him
l'm sure we'll find him soon
l hope so
Big brother
Do you think Jing would have changed since he has left Mongolia for so long?
Would he still be so silly?
And always get bullied?
l'm sure he'll be smarter now after some exposure
Do you think he would...
What?
Nothing
What are you trying to say?
Do you think he would
- be with another woman? - No
l know him very well
He is responsible and loyal
Huazheng, don't worry so much
When we find Guo Jing and l complete the task from father
Three of us can return to Mongolia happily together
- Your Highness - Yes?
- Our scout has returned - Alright
l've found out that
the Emperor of Song has no regard for the Book of Wu Mu
and puts it carelessly in the library
lt's right here
How's the security?
The library contains common literature
so there is little security
A team on patrol passes by only every four hours
What a blessing for us
- Chi Laowen - Here
Has the tunnel to the Forbidden Palace been dug?
Yes
Then l shall take action tonight
Then, we...
You will protect Princess Huazheng
l know the Jins are out to hunt us down
l won't worry if you're protecting Huazheng
But...
lt's alright. As long as l get a few Mongolian warriors to help me...
Who are you?
We're here to claim your souls
Your Highness, run from the back
We must find them even if we tear down the forest
Don't worry
they won't get away
Why?
l've sprinkled snake powder on them
This little snake will lead us to them
You've improved a little, you silly boy Come here
Remember this
18 Dragon Subduing Palms does not focus
as much on positioning and execution
as on the internal skills within you
Every night, you must build your internal energy with the method l taught you
You must work hard
Yes, Qigong
- Dinner time - Alright
What's this?
You said that eating dead chickens are no good for health
You naughty girl
l'm not teaching him anymore tomorrow
Don't be angry, sir
Have some of this now
and l'll steal some snacks for you from the palace tonight
You're full of tricks
lf you're half as smart as she is l'll have an easierjob
ls it really so hard?
l know it's not easy
Why don't you teach me first and then, l'll teach him. That's easier
So you want me to teach you
Even my father couldn't make me learn when he threatened to cane me
l know you have a hard time teaching him
How can you compare me to your father?
Sir, Rong-er's father is Huang Yaoshi of Peach Blossom lsland. He's famous
Your father is Huang Yaoshi?
That's right
You're Huang Yaoshi's daughter?
That's what he told me
You should ask my father if that's true Maybe l was picked up off the streets
The Old Heretic has been shamed by his daughter
Even though his skills are top-notch
his daughter couldn't even defeat a loser like Liang Ziweng
Well, that's why you must teach me
You don't have to flatter me
Just steal some food for me tonight and l'll consider teaching you
Really?
lt looks like a tunnel
Where does it lead to?
Don't be rash Let's set an ambush here
They'll come out eventually
Hurry
Let's go
Have a seat
Don't you like to sit?
lf not, kneel down
Kneel
Why are you still hanging out with Guo Jing?
lt's none of your business
l'm just concerned
You're making me kill you
Hold it
Your Highness
lf we don't kill him now there will be more trouble
Kill him?
That's a waste
Don't you know?
He's Genghis Khan's precious son
His life is worth several towns
- lmprison them - Yes sir
Hold it
Wait
Your Highness
l have a request
Fine
Since you've done so well this time
l should reward you
From now onwards
Huang Rong belongs to you
Yang Kang, you'll die for this
Thank you, Your Highness
Both of you are to take good care of Miss Huang
- Take her to my room - Yes sir
Miss Huang
Did they serve you well?
- Leave us now - Yes sir
Let me serve you
this wonderful health supplement
You said you didn't like to use force
You'll like me after you eat this
so l won't have to force you then
Eat it
Dream on!
Eat!
Who's that?
- What is it? - Master
Help!
Watch her
Who did this?
You brought this upon yourself
What?
Kang told you to bring me victims for my training
And You failed to comply
My Jiuyin Baigu Claw is almost perfected
l can't stop practise for one day
l merely borrowed one of your people
Mei Chaofeng, what's borrowed must be returned
- l'll make you pay now - Hold it
Don't be so rude to my teacher
Your Highness
You can only blame your servants for failing their task
Take it as a punishment
- Your Highness - Don't say anymore
Let's go
Don't move
Kang told me that you have Huang Rong in your room?
l will kill anyone who harms Huang Rong
Don't worry, teacher
l will take care of Huang Rong
Tell her l'm going for my training now
l will look her up when l'm done
You'd better take good care of my sister
Yes, teacher
Don't tire yourself by training too hard
Your Highness, this blind woman is gonna give you trouble one day
Regarding this
l know what l'm doing
l know
You keep protecting Mei Chaofeng
so you can make use of her skills against Guo Jing and Hong Qigong
But Hong Qigong is so good
that even my uncle may not defeat him
Mei Chaofeng is no match for him
What she can do, l can do too
Unless...
You don't believe me?
The enemy is before us
You shouldn't fight each other
Brother Ouyang
My teacher won't be with Huang Rong forever
She's yours eventually
What's the hurry?
This is the front door of the Forbidden Palace
Do you wish to die?
- Just leave them here - This won't do
So many people are dying everyday We'll never finish burying them
Then go ahead! Leave...
How can you leave me like this?
How sad is this?
Stop laughing and see if Huang Rong's here
Do you want to see her here?
How sad
lt's not her
l mean, how sad for this person
Rong-er...
Maybe she was thrown out last night and
the stray dogs have taken and eaten her up
Where are you, Rong-er?
Rong-er
Look at you You look like someone died
Rong-er is so smart, she won't die
- But... - Don't worry
Move along
A woman must live here There's a nice fragrance
Shut up and kneel down
Princess, we've caught two suspicious characters
Ask them
if they know where the Prince is
Yes
That was too tight for comfort
l wonder who invites us here
General Bo
General Chi
Guo Jing
- Huazheng - Guo Jing, Guo Jing
- Release him - Yes
Why are you in Central Plains?
Why have you not returned to Mongolia?
Don't you know your mother and l miss you very much?
Big brother is missing
You must save him
Tuolei's missing?
Yes. The Prince is on a mission from the Lord to steal the Book of Wu Mu
But he has failed to return
Another missing person in the Forbidden Palace
How strange
This is?
This is the Leader of Beggar Sect Hong Qigong
So it's Master Hong
Forgive us for being rude
Don't be so courteous with me
Just call me, Old Beggar
Qigong
They said Tuolei went to steal the Book last night in the Forbidden Palace
And Rong-er went to steal food
ls there a link?
The more l think, the more it makes sense
That must be it
That naughty lass is always looking for trouble
She must have gotten into trouble now
Rong-er is really...
Who's Rong-er?
l got to know her in Central Plains
Are you close to her?
Yes
General Bo, you go on and discuss with them how to save my brother
l'm not well
l'm going to rest
