Episode 9
Mr Yuan, read this
What is it?
A secret letter from Duoergun to eunuch Cao Huachun
You held it back from us
Don't get me wrong, Miss Greeny
Mr Yuan
l wanted to leave myself a way of escape
But you are so good to me
lf l don't give it to you,
l will be a mean villain
Nothing else but a letter?
Actually it is a reference
and a pledge
Duoergun asked Cao to tell me everything happened in the palace
l will relay Cao's words to him
Cao is the eunuch of protocol
He is in the highest rank
Why does he want to surrender to Qing?
What did Duoergun promise him?
Could he give him more than our king did?
Duoergun gave Cao some words
He said when he captures Beijing,
Cao can keep his life and property
Or else
when he captures Beijing, Cao will be dismembered
Cao is a coward
He left himself a way of escape
Why did your senior ask to see you in this place?
Everywhere is the same
l wonder if they have come
You are a man of your word
We have other things to do. Don't stall
l'm here to apologize, senior
l broke your wife's sword
because l didn't know it was hers
l offended you
Please forgive me for our teacher's sake
You said you were our junior. Who can verify it?
We will talk after the fight
Hong Ocean has turned over a new leaf
He gave us
a secret letter from Duoergun to Cao Huachun
Please read it
Even a letter from the king can't save you
Are you a fraud?
No more excuses. Take my moves
Senior
Good moves
Stop. Don't hurt him
He is Golden Snake's son
He can't be a good man
Yuan
Where can you go?
Yuan, help
Are you alright, teacher?
Senior
Junior, don't hurt her
Wretch
Are you alright, Yuan?
Fine. Luckily l'm wearing Protector vest
What a ruthless child!
What a ruthless senior!
Teacher
Why did you come, teacher?
Teacher Grand teacher
Chengzhi, great
Get up
Thank you Thank you
Teacher
A few days ago, your senior Huang said
you did a good thing in Quzhou, Zhejiang
But how could you be disrespectful
and fight your seniors?
l'm sorry. l won't do it again
Taoist Mu Sang told me everything
Xiandou asked for our help. You should help them
Why did you cut off the man's arm?
Junior thought he was a bad man
so she showed no mercy
She is sorry now
Please forgive her, Grand teacher
Luo Liru of Gold Dragon is an honest man
He sent you a letter at his teacher's command
His arm was cut off by this unreasonable Flying Witch
Yuan told me you said that
Hua Shan's pupils wouldn't hurt the innocent
so he interfered in it
Because of his interference,
he offended his seniors
He felt awkward
Stop it
Hua Shan's first commandment, don't hurt the innocent
Did you tell your pupil the commandment, Tree?
l didn't teach her well
l'm responsible for the mistake
Don't be angry
l will punish her severely
Bohai's man was wrong to force you to marry him
But a decent sect don't annihilate others
Your nickname, Flying Witch,
reflects your personality
Don't be angry, teacher
l will punish her severely
Chop off her arm now
Carry her to the Jiaos and apologize to them tomorrow
Teacher
l apologized to the Jiaos
l promised to teach the man some kung fu
The Jiaos are pacified
Luckily, Taoist Mu Sang is not an outsider
Or he will sneer at us
Taoist is the smart one
Pupil of his sect let him down once
He won't take another pupil again
He won't be disgraced and annoyed
Where is your sword?
You can't use a sword in future
l am sorry, Grand teacher
Junior
When you fought Chengzhi, Tree
couldn't you tell he had Hua Shan's strength?
You knew he was your junior
Why did you hit him so hard?
l am sorry, teacher
Get up
Tree
How is your son's condition?
He took a lot of medicine but...not much progress
You must be anxious
You have a son at your age
He has a strange disease
We do our best. God will do the rest
lt's his fate to live or not
lt's late
Why didn't you come sooner, old monkey?
King Rush has won many battles in the north
l helped him so l was delayed
l contacted chief Zheng, owner of 7 2 islands
and master Shili of Qingliang Temple
l asked them to get ready
They will cooperate when King Rush comes to the south
Help King Rush if you can
Take care of yourselves if you can't
Yes, teacher
Your pupils have grown up
Don't be a nagger, old monkey
Come on...Let's go
Come on...
Goodbye teacher Goodbye Grand teacher
Everything is settled
You have my teacher's words
Of course my seniors won't harass you
Thank you, Mr Yuan...
Do you want to thank my brother?
Of course...
Your wish is my command
l will give my life for you, Mr Yuan
Don't talk big
Maybe you will have to do it soon
Do what?
Nothing special. Just physical labor
You may get tired
No problem...
l think it is the place, master
We found it Dagongfang
Open the door, Ocean
Yes
This is the place
Read the map, Green
Okay
Check there, Ocean
Yes
l found nothing
Green
Master
lt looks like the wood-shed l passed
Go to the shed
Let's go
How could the treasure be hidden in a wood-shed?
The map shows it is the place
Nothing
l have found it. lt's here. Come on
Where?...
Get me a candle, Ocean
We will go down
Okay
Be careful, Ocean. Keep watch
We will go down
Don't worry
Keep watch
Hold this
Be careful
Are you alright? Fine
Keep going Okay
Green
So many boxes
They are locked
Look
Keys. l will open them
My uncle revolted. All officers surrendered to him
Prince Wei, a statesman with great achievements
His loyalty is praiseworthy
lt is an emergence. l can't take the treasure
Prince Wei will keep it for me
lt is the dynasty restoration fund
6th month, 4th year of Jianwen. The king
A lot of gold and jewelry
King Jianwen left the treasure when King Yan usurped his throne
We are rich...
We have found the treasure
We are the richest in Nanjing
Food, clothes, house...
We can buy whatever we like
We will be happier than the king
We found the treasure together
You can have 5 boxes
l don't want them
You want more?
No
When King Yan usurped the throne
King Jianwen asked Xu Da and his descendants to keep it
He didn't know the Xus would decline
Prince Wei's residence became Dagongfang
lt belongs to someone else. We can't take it
You don't want it?
l don't
l will give it away if you don't want it
Your dad found the treasure
You can give whoever you like
l will give the treasure to King Rush
King Rush?
He fights battle everyday. He needs war funds
Didn't your teacher raise 2,000 taels of gold for him
lt was nothing compared with the 1 0 boxes of treasure
You are not kidding?
At first l joked with you
You thought l was greedy
You are my soul mate. lt's great
But l want you to give me a gift
What about this? l will put it on for you
l will give this to Wany
We only took a drop of water out of the sea
Master
You are fearless. Who are you?
What is your name?
You don't deserve to know
Step aside
Dad...
Thank you for saving us
Master
We didn't kill Jiao Gongli. We let you down
Please punish us
lt's difficult to kill Jiao and take over Gold Dragon
You are not up to it
lt was not your fault that you failed
Get up
Thank you for sparing us
l want to know who defeated you
A lad, Yuan
He ruined our plan
We escaped because the situation was not going well
Then that...
Mu Sang
Taoist Mu Sang caught us
His kung fu was strange
What? Do you mean Mu Sang?
Yes...That's him
He is here
The lad, Yuan said you knew him
Of course l know him
Enemies often cross each other's path
Tell me everything about Yuan
He is a kung fu master. He said he was a Hua Shan's pupil
Mei Jianhe was no match for him
Right
ls he that formidable?
He said he was a pupil of Sword Monkey Mu Renqing
l don't think he was kidding
Right
Mu is a restless old monkey
When did he take a pupil?
What should we do?
Be patient
We have to wait for an opportunity
And now...
We are at your service
l will take you to Qinhuai River
Have some girls, music, drink and fun
Master
Qinhuai River, a place of beautiful girls
lf we don't enjoy ourselves in Nanjing,
it will be a wasted journey, right?
You are right Come with me
After you...
Are you alright, boss Jiao?
l'm fine...
What happened?
l'm ashamed that l couldn't guard 2 men
They were rescued
Gold Dragon let you down
Don't say that
The enemy was tough. lt's not your fault
Right
To my surprise, Qing has a kung fu master
Brothers Taibai confessed. lt's no big deal they escaped
And they will be snared by their own sin
We will leave tomorrow, boss Jiao
Take care of yourself
The carts are here, Yuan
l think 5 carts can take 1 0 boxes
Great. Thank you, Miss Jiao
Goodbye Take care
Let's go
Thank you for escorting us
Don't mention it
lt's a long way from your home. Please go back
The pavilion is the boundary of Nanjing
There are bandits
Please be careful
Thank you for warning us
When l visited Confucius Temple,
l wanted to buy you a bracelet
But Sun Zhongjun bought it
Am l right?
Yes...
lt's fine. She was a foolish spender
Gold Dragon had our revenge
You didn't see her face
She looked like she was swallowing a fly
Luckily, l saw a bracelet yesterday
lt is for you. Take it
lt is invaluable. l can't take it
You think l can't afford it?
lt's not what l meant. l...
Say no more. Take it
Thank you, Mr Xia
Take care. Goodbye
You must be tired
Have some water
Get some rest. We have to hurry on our way soon
Green
They and l were of the same trade
Same trade?
Yes, bandits
You can't tell?
They are investigating us
What about these two?
Are they having a blind date?
No
They are from another gang
lt will be hectic
Tell me why they knew l had jewelry in the boxes
You are not in our profession, Yuan
Gold and jewelry are on the carts
The tracks and dust are different
Even if you put gold in a bag,
a professional will know it
5 gangs have investigated us today
They are large gangs
We must be careful
Which 5 gangs?
There are many bandits in Shandong
One gang is the most formidable
lt is your gang, Bohai
lt is nothing to joke about, Mr Yuan
Bohai's business is on the sea
Even if there is treasure on the ground,
you won't pick it up
Good
Bohai is awesome
Strict with oneself and honest
lt's an unusual gang
Don't ridicule me
The formidable gang is Tiger Gully, its boss is Sha Tianguang
Sha Tianguang?
Yes
Sha's gang is in Tiger Gully
He is the king of the hill
He is a kung fu master
He has many followers
He is the leader of bandits in Shandong
We are not afraid that we are outnumbered
lf we catch Sha,
his followers won't be a problem
Right
lt's a good idea
You will pretend to be a pedant
l will be a pitiful maid
lt will make the bandits careless
What do you say?
l don't need to pretend
That's the way l am
What are you looking at?
Your eyeballs will fall out if you don't stop
l...
You are very beautiful today, Greeny
Really?
Let's go Why am l beautiful?
You are beautiful when you dress like a girl
l am beautiful
Hurry up
The forest is cool and quiet
lt's not
lt's a good place for the bandits to ambush us
We must stay alert
Okay
Stop...surround them
We are ambushed, master
Nice to meet you, mister
He is Sha Tianguang
Nice to meet you, mister
Are you on the way to take the lmperial exam?
No, l'm not
l failed every exam
Luckily, l have a lot of money
You are honest. You are not pedantic
People say there are many...
rabbles, cheats, thugs and bandits around
But l haven't met one yet
l think it is a pack of lies
What are you doing here?
l don't care if you are a fool or not
You are in bad luck
Catch them
Wait
Brother
This is Shandong, master Cheng
Of course, it is
We made a pact in Tai Shan meeting
We, Bamboo, won't do business in Shandong
You won't do business in Hebei
Right
What brought you here?
l heard that some stuff was heading north
so l came to check its quality
You can check it when it is in your precincts
lt will be too late then
lt will be yours by that time
The stuff will be in Tiger Gully
lf l covet your possessions,
l will be at fault, right?
We made a pact
You go back on your word
You will be sneered at
What did l tell you at home, Nine?
You said we had some free time
Why didn't we go to Shandong
and check the stuff?
Did l say l would take it?
No, you didn't
You said you and Shandong's friends made a pact
Even if there was treasure in Shandong,
Bamboo wouldn't take a coin
We must be true to our word
You have a sense of honor and justice
You have traveled a long way, master Cheng
You will have a share
What did l tell you at home, Nine?
You said there was a lot of stuff
We couldn't let it slip away
And if anyone took it,
we would lose face
What if they used force?
You said we did business and made profit in Hebei
We would be escorts in Shandong
lt would be an unusual experience
lf they robbed the stuff,
we would be forced to protect it
You have a good memory
l remember l did say so
Do you understand, Sha?
Bamboo can't do business in Shandong
but we can be escorts here
l didn't promise not to be an escort in Tai Shan meeting
You stopped us from taking the stuff
You will take it when it is in Hebei, right?
Yes, you are clever
You understand my words
You...
You are an elder, Cheng
l won't hold it against you
lf you want to make trouble today,
my men won't let you off
The bandits argue about something they haven't got
What a joke
We can profit at their expenses, Ocean
What is Bamboo?
Bamboo?
lt is the largest sect in Hebei
The old man is Cheng Bamboo, Bamboo's boss
He may look fat and silly
but he is a kung fu master
We are brothers
We should talk it out
No need to fight
We don't want to be sneered at, right?
Master Chu, nice to see you
He is Chu Willow
Chu Willow?
Yes
My teacher said he was famous for his Red Palm
Mr Cheng, you are at fault
We made a pact not to do business outside our precincts
We are not doing business here
We are escorts
lt is not against the law to be escorts
You have a silver tongue
Let's fight it out
You want a gang fight
or a one against one fight?
Mr Tianguang
men always get killed in a gang fight
We are not enemies
We don't have to hurt our friendship
May l make a suggestion?
Please tell us, master Chu
There are 1 0 boxes here
Shandong and Hebei assign 1 0 people
to have 1 0 fights
Pull your punches. Killing is not allowed
The winner gets a box
Do you think it is fair?
Yes
Which of you will fight first, master Cheng?
Bald Head, you first
Boss Hou, you fight this round
l will fight the next round, Tianguang
Okay
You are our face saver, master Chu
Let me fight this round, teacher
Okay
l don't fight women
l will fight the next round
Who wants to play with the girl?
l will play with her
You are the only one good enough for her
Don't make fun of me...
Thank you...
Qi
Awesome...
Awesome
l won, teacher
Good
Good...
No weak troops under a strong general
Will you fight me, girl?
l want to play some more
lt will be great if you will teach me, uncle Chu
What is your weapon?
How can an adult use a weapon against a kid?
l will play with you barehanded
Take some rest, Nine
l will fight this round
l said yes to uncle Chu
His Red Palm is formidable
You are no match for him
Make it quick. Be careful
Yes, teacher
He is an expert
The girl will be in trouble when his palms are red
Help her, brother Yes
She came here to rob us
You asked me to save her
She is adorable
Help her
Make a move, brother
Take a move, uncle Chu
Wait and see
Thank you for letting me win, uncle Chu
Come here, Nine. Your uncle Chu won
You want to go after stabbing me so many times?
2 against 1 ?
Master Chu said hold your punches
Of course
But l haven't punched her yet
Nine
