Step aside
Save her now...
Oh no! The horse is startled
Get out of the way. Help
Get out of the way. The horse is startled
Watch out...
Stop...
You beast, why did you gallop?...
Why did you gallop?
lt was a close call
You want to kill me, beast?
Uncle Chu's Red Palm is formidable. Thanks
Boss Sha
l would like to fight your Yin Yang fan
Right
Don't bother to fight over one box
Let's fight to the finish
Both of them are kung fu experts
lt is a close match
Let's share the boxes
You...
Thank you for letting me win
Teacher
Boss...
Teacher...
Boss...
Stop it...
Stop it
Let's talk it out
The fight ended in a tie
Let's share the boxes
Everyone has a share, okay?
Boss...
What do you say, boss Sha?
Teacher
Share the boxes...
Okay...Let's share them
We will take 4 boxes
We will give one box to him
Don't touch his box
What do you mean?
What do l mean?
lf his horse hadn't charged toward us,
l would have been killed by your palm
He can have one box in reward
You know kindnesses from wrongs
Let's take the boxes
Move them now
Sit down and have some rest, teacher
What are you doing? Go away
Your kung fu training was better than entertainer's shows
What are you doing?
Hold on, teacher
Teacher
Get down...
They are my boxes. What do you want?
Look after my teacher. l will see what's wrong
Okay. You go
What do you want?
Quiet. Get down
We want to move the boxes
Get down...
We have never met before, miss
You don't have to move the boxes for me
We don't move them for you
We move them for ourselves
Yourselves?
lt's odd. They are mine, not yours
You must have been mistaken...
No more rubbish
Get down...
Are you alright?
l'm fine
What are you doing?
They are my boxes
My jewelry is inside. You can't move them
They are mine
Yuan
Watch out
What are you doing? Don't move my boxes
Didn't l tell you to be careful?
You know kung fu. Let's exchange a few moves
Wait
You look thievish
Don't steal my boxes when l'm fighting
Come up here
You want to play tricks up there?
Get down if you have guts
Come up if you are talented
Master Chu...are you alright?
Are you alright?
Get lost
You should have been more careful when you came up
lt must hurt to fall on the ground
Drag him down
Don't push. l'm going to fall
l don't want to fall down like master Chu
Don't push
Oh no! Officers are coming
There are thousands of them. Run
Officers are coming
Don't bluff
Why would l lie? You can look for yourself
Officers are coming. Run
Run, bandits
Officers are coming. Let's go, teacher
Let's go, Tianguang
Let's go
Yuan
Are you alright?
Fine
Those idiots couldn't touch the boxes
Catch the bandits. Don't let them run away
What are you doing here?
We are civilians. We are passing thru
Why is here blood? And you have weapons
Bandits tried to rob us
We fought against them
Luckily, you came in time
They were scared and they ran away
What are these?
Our luggage
Open them
They are some odds and ends. Nothing special
l asked you to open them
We have no contraband goods
Not worth looking
Green
What a minx
How dare you resist arrest. Catch them
They are bandits. Kill them
Catch them
Nine, stop...
Teacher...hold on
l can't make it. The nails were poisoned
The antidote l took was not right
l can't hold on much longer
Lean on me. Let's go
Surround them. Don't let them escape
Protect teacher
lf we didn't know kung fu, we would be killed
Right
They deserved to die
l wonder how many people they killed
Surround them. Don't let them escape
What should we do?
Help the bandits. Kill the officers
Okay
Ocean, take the stuff
l will meet you in the forest ahead
Yes
Watch out, brother
What a graceful girl! Come with me
Go to hell. She's mine
Go to hell. You have 3 at home
This one is mine
Outrageous. She is Ming's...
Teacher
lt's you
Leave it. Go now
Thanks. Let's go, teacher
Boss Sha...
lt's you
Are you alright?
Fine
Mr Chu, you help boss Sha up the hill. Let's go
Why do you save us?
Say no more
Let's fight our enemies
Thank you
Retreat...
Stop
Run
Shoot them
Miss Nine, it's bad
What's wrong?
Boss...
Teacher, wake up...
Teacher, l'm Nine
Wake up
Miss Nine, boss Cheng...
He can't make it
Teacher
How do you feel, teacher?
Boss Cheng's injury can be cured
but he needs the antidote
Antidote?
Curing boss Cheng's injury is the most urgent
We fight against our common enemies
Wait here. l will see what l can do
lt will be great if we have the antidote
Don't worry. He will find a way
l always thought l was a man of the world
but l couldn't tell he was a kung fu master
Tianguang..., how do you feel?
Tianguang, are you alright?
You must hold on
l killed 6 officers. lt's worth my life
You will be fine
Boss Sha
You have to kill 60 more to cover the cost
You...
Don't get agitated, boss Sha. Let me examine you
Your internal organs are hurt
You need a lot of rest
l will use my strength to cure you
l have been to the gate of hell
Now l'm back
We tried to rob you
but you returned good for evil
l'm ashamed of myself
Say no more, boss Sha
Now we are facing the formidable enemies
We must fight them together
We are at your service
Boss Sha gave me the antidote
Give it to boss Cheng now
Thank you
You are a chivalrous kung fu master
May l know your name?
l'm Yuan Chengzhi
Yuan Chengzhi
l'm Cheng Bamboo
We make a living in Hebei
We disgraced ourselves in Shandong
Please forgive us
Don't mention it
Out of blows friendship grows
You can call me Nine
Nine
Thank you for helping us
lf you hadn't helped her in time, she would have been sullied
You are a kung fu expert too, Miss Nine
Thanks for helping me when the officers attacked us
They killed the innocent. They were ruthless
They were worse than bandits
Yuan...
lt's bad
What's wrong?
Thousands of troops are charging at us
Master Chu
What's wrong?
The troops are escorting silver to Beijing
Unluckily, we run into them
Why are there so many troops to escort the silver?
The world is in chaos
The court uses the silver from the south to pay officers
The king has to defend the country against Qing
He has to defend it against Li Zicheng too
The silver is his lifeblood
Of course he sent many troops to escort it
The silver should be transported by water, right?
The king needs money desperately
so it is transported by land
The troops have a great responsibility
Why did they mess with us?
They thought we were civilians. A easy target
They will give us some bandit's name King so and so
And they will report to the king to get credit
Misgovernment makes the people rebel
We are bandits
We are not wronged
Too bad you have got involved
lt's bad, Yuan
The troops are charging at us
We will be besieged by them
Wait here
No rash move. l will check them out
Yuan Brother
Be careful
l will be fine
Have you found it?...
No
Nothing, teacher
Keep looking
Let's go over there, junior
Seniors
What are you doing here?
Let's fight the troops together
We have things to do. lt's none of your business
Senior
Senior Chengzhi
We are over here, Chengzhi
Chengzhi...
Uncle Zhu
Uncle Zhu, uncle Sun
What are you doing here, Chengzhi?
l will get you out first. Step back
Attack
Attack them from front and rear, Mr Chu
Right
Dame it. Let's fight them Fight them
Boss Cheng and boss Sha are badly hurt
They stay here. Take care of them, Miss Nine
Okay
Fellows Yes
Get your weapons. Attack
Kill them
Hold your ground...
Don't panic...
Kill them...
Chengzhi...
Catch their captain first
Kill them...
Help
What's your name?
l'm Shui Jian
Captain Shui
Order your troops to release everyone now
Give them order now
Drop your weapons
Stop it
Stop it now...
Drop your weapons now
Drop your weapons ...
Where is Ma Shiying's tribute, tuckahoe pills?
The pills?
Governor Ma sent someone to take them to the capital
What? ls it true?
l daren't lie
You have my life and my possessions
Governor Ma said our carts were too slow
and it was unlucky to travel with convicts
He asked chef Dong of Yongsheng Escort
to take the pills to the capital
They will be presented to the king
When did the chief set out?
The same day as we started off
There are only a dozen of them
They traveled light
They have traveled for 5 or 6 days
lf you lie to us, l will come back and kill you
Let's go Let's go
What are tuckahoe pills?
Someone found a tuckahoe in Huang Shan
lt was 4 or 5 thousands years old
A man found a tuber of knotweed in Zhejiang
Both were legendary treasures
Ma Shiying, governor of Fengyang
got it by tricks and force
He asked the best druggist to make 80 pills
They can bring the dying back to life
He kept 40 pills
He sent someone to take 40 pills to the king as tribute
He wishes Chongzhen will live 40 more years
And he will be promoted every year
l see
Chengzhi...
Uncle Sun, uncle Zhu
Chengzhe How did they catch you?
After leaving Hua Shan,
we were on our way to Nanjing
But we were betrayed
We were ambushed by An Jianqing
We were caught
For security's sake, we were escorted to the capital with the silver
What will happen when you reach there?
We will be beheaded
Everyone was tortured
Your uncle Sun is a civil official
He almost died
Chief Shui came later
He escorted us to the capital
He didn't hit us
Untie him
You can go
You let me go?
Your troops can go too
Thank you
Go now. What are you dithering about?
We lost the silver. lt's a capital offence
We will be beheaded if we go back
You are a chief but you are in constant fear
lt's not a happy life
Why don't you and your subordinates join Shan clan?
lf we are of one mind,
we will have great achievements
Won't it be a better life?
You will take me in?
Of course. We will take you in if you want to join us, captain Shui
l'm not a captain now
Thank you for letting me join Shan clan
But l don't know what my men's intentions are
They can make their own decisions
Of course
Please tell them
We welcome them to join Shan clan
We won't force them if they don't want to
Okay, l will ask them
Are you alright, uncle Sun?
We are getting old. We have not much use
We can't serve you
And we always need your help
We are ashamed of ourselves
Out of misfortune comes bliss
Your uncle Sun has come around
He always dreamt that some day
the court would offer us amnesty, enlistment and rehabilitate commander Yuan
l thought it was no use to reason with the court
We must revolt
Shan clan was founded more than a decade ago
We have fought for more than a decade
And now...
For more than a decade,
l have tried everything to persuade the king
to rehabilitate commander Yuan
But l have been rebuffed
l have almost lost my life a few times
Like this time,
they caught us and sentenced us to death without reasons
lf you hadn't come in time,
we would have been killed
The king is headstrong
The court is lawless
lf we want to redress commander's grievances,
revolt is the only way
Uncle Sun, uncle Zhu
l trust your judgment
You can make decision about Shan clan's affairs
Brother
Are you alright, brother?
You have come just in time, Green
Uncle Sun, uncle Zhu, this is my brother, Green
My sworn brother
They were my father's subordinates
Uncle Sun, uncle Zhu
l found out she was not like me after we became sworn brothers
The people who helped you to save us
Are they in kung fu world
They make their living in hills and forests
They are bandits
ln order to make a living, some Shan clan's men were bandits too
They are full of vigor
lf they join us,
Shan clan's force will be strengthened
Do you feel better, boss Cheng, boss Sha?
Much better. We have some strength
Too bad we missed the good chance
We couldn't fight with you against the troops
Right...
You were a good leader, Mr Yuan
l'm truly impressed
l'm flattered. You taught your men well
We won because they were the best soldiers
Thank you
Yuan...
We are rich...
Look, the list of silver...
8 million taels of silver
Yes, it is ours. 8 million taels
Good
Give boss Cheng and boss Sha half of it, Ocean
No...
We don't deserve it
Why not?
We won the battle
because of your best soldiers
lt's fair that we go halves
On behalf of my men, l thank you
You have a share too, Chu
That's not what l meant
To be honest
At first, we tried to rob Mr Yuan's boxes
lt's no big deal to kill
The authority won't bother to investigate
But it's not the same now
We killed many officers
And we shared the court's sliver
Revolt is a felony
Master Chu
Murderers and arsonists are at large
But if you revolt,
you are the court's enemy
From now on,
l can never show my face in Jinan
ln troubled times, we have no choice
Where should we go?
lt's a problem
l have an idea
Tell us
Tai Shan meeting is in a few days
A leader will be elected by heroes of 7 provinces
Let's go to Tai Shan together
We can discuss our options with the others
Okay. The traveling expenses are on me
Tai Shan is a good place
Let's go there, Yuan
Good
How can we not go?
We will be ungrateful to boss Sha if we don't go, right?
l have a mansion ahead
lt is big enough for 1 00 people
Let's stay there for the night
We will go to Tai Shan tomorrow morning
Okay...Let's go...
You play well, Miss Nine
Can you teach me how to play a bamboo leaf?
Of course
Not like this
Press your lips together. Leave a slit
lt's better
Sorry, l'm stupid
lt's not easy to learn
You have to break more than 1 0 leaves before you can play it
1 0 bamboo leaves
Okay
Teach me when you have time
ls the medicine ready?
Yes, miss
Merciful Buddha...
l hunt it just now
Pluck and wash it
Make a soup with dates and Chinese wolfberry fruit
lt is delicious and nourishing
Where is the knife?
No killing in a sacred Buddish place
Merciful Buddha
l will pluck it here if you don't give me a knife
Teacher...
l was only joking
What about the medicine?
Who will take it to uncle Sun?
Come back
Dinner is ready, Miss Nine
l was going to see you, Mr Hong
What is it?
lt is...
Would you...give the box to Mr Yuan for me?
What is it? lt's light
ls it empty?
Don't make fun of me
Please do it for me
Okay. l will give it to him now. Don't worry
Thank you
Miss Nine asked me to give it to you
What is it?
l don't know. Find it out yourself
l...will go inside
