Episode 12
Fellows...
Did everyone elect Mr Yuan to be the Leader?
Yes...Mr Yuan is our Leader
Wait, l haven't had a fight yet
l almost missed the festivity
He was quick. We didn't notice a thing
He must be a kung fu expert
l hear you are electing the Leader in Tai Shan
l rushed here
l think only a kung fu expert can be the Leader
Your kung fu is good
l would like to learn from you
l'm flattered
Someone really isn't afraid of death
That's him, Yuan
He hurt my dad and took Brothers Taibai
So what?
Heroes, the best kung fu master should be the Leader
Let's have a fight
Who dares come up?
l will handle the Taoist
Wait. l will do it
l would like to fight you, superior
Cut the nonsense. Watch out
Yuan Greeny
They are kung fu masters
lt was a close call
Taoist
How dare you make trouble here, Jinx
You spoilt my plan again
You have always been nosy. Can't you get rid of this bad habit?
You committed treason. You disgraced our sect
Now you try to ruin the meeting
l will get rid of you for our teacher
Mu Sang
Don't try to intimidate me by mentioning our teacher
We are pupils of the same sect
Be polite. We haven't seen each other for years
You don't deserve to be treated politely
Fellows, you oppose the court, don't you?
You want to overthrow Chongzhen
We are on the same side
Nonsense. We are not on the same side
You hate Chongzhen. So do l
You oppose the court. So do l
The only difference is you do it inside the gate
l do it outside the gate
lf you recommend me to be the Leader,
l promise the king of Qing will give you your due
Every hero here will have beautiful girls,
high position and great wealth
Bullshit
You are Qing's dog and you want to sully us?
l will kill you today...
What do you want? A gang fight
You want to outnumber me?
l will get him
Taoist
Stop the chase
Don't fall into his trap
l would have killed him if he hadn't run away
He is a treacherous villain
The villain has gone
Please take your seat, Leader
Please take your seat, Leader...
Leader...
Great, Yuan is the Leader
Leader Yuan
We smear the blood as a sign of oath
We uphold justice, treat others honestly
We won't betray the alliance
Leader...
Long live Your Majesty
Get up
Thank you
My trip to Tai Shan was fruitless
l'm ashamed that l let you down
State Guard, you gave me a memorial
then you enjoyed your blissful life
l dare not. l shut myself up to reflect on my mistakes...
Don't worry
There are many unknown kung fu experts
l'm not surprised you failed to be the Leader
l'm sorry we missed a chance to win the heroes over
l deserve to die
Don't be too harsh
l'm not Chongzhen of Ming
He kills his courtiers unjustly
Who will risk his life for him?
You are a wise king
Heroes will respond to your call
Do your utmost to serve me
l will give you your due
l will give my life for you to repay your kindness
l sent some silks and satins to your house
You may go now
Thank you, Your Majesty
Later Jin, Qing's King
Search the place
No one is in the house, officer
They ran away again
l found a hairpin on the floor
They have just left
l gave the hairpin to her then
Too bad you had left before l got here
lt's fate that we missed each other
Bees
l fell into her trap again. Retreat
Thank you for coming in time
You revealed Yuzhen's true colors
Too bad you can't stay for a few days
l would like to play chess with you
You make me want to play chess
Why don't you stay for a few days?
Stay, Taoist Mu
You can teach me your every changing new moves
You have whetted my appetite for a game
Too bad l don't have a choice
l must find my sect's sacred lron sword
l can't let the jinx find it first
l will come to see you after fulfilling the wish
We will play some games of chess then
But if l win,
don't say that l shouldn't have hurt the Leader's feeling
We'll see when you win
That's a deal
You have made progress
l'm happy for you
lf your teacher knows about it,
he will laugh himself awake from sleep
lt's late. l have to go
Goodbye
Take care
Teacher
What are you doing here, Nine?
Did you...go to see Yuan?
l did
l didn't expect his father was an officer
But why did he team up with others to revolt?
At the meeting, Sun Zhongshou said
Yuan's father was executed by my father
ls it true?
lt happened years ago
Your father had just succeeded to the throne
He asked commander Yuan to defend Shanhai Pass against Qing's army
Why did my father execute him?
Qing's army couldn't breach commander Yuan's defences
They used a plot of sowing discord
They started rumors that he plotted with Later Jin against the court
Your father believed the fable
Commander Yuan was convicted of treason and he was executed
How could father be so stupid?
Was commander Yuan wronged?
lf he had wanted to revolt,
he could have opened Shanhai gate
Qing's army would have captured Beijing
Our country would have been conquered
Your father was paranoid
Commander Yuan was loyal
but he was executed by dismemberment
My father is rash
Courtiers have been dismissed, punished, convicted
Your father ordered to annihilate commander's family after his execution
His subordinates risked their lives
to save Yuan Chengzhi. He was 7 then
They saved the Yuans heir
ln order to avoid his pursuers,
he hid in Hua Shan and practiced kung fu
He became a kung fu master
lt has been 1 2 years
Why didn't you tell me before?
You were young
l didn't want to tell you how cruel the world was
l didn't expect...
you would meet Yuan
No wonder Yuan must...
Let it go, Nine
lt was your father's fault, not yours
Miss Nine
Yuan
Miss Nine, look at this
My teacher told me your background
The king...shouldn't have killed commander Yuan
That's why people call him stupid
But he was tricked by disloyal courtiers
so he made mistakes
lf he hadn't been stupid, he wouldn't have been tricked
My dad wouldn't have been killed
lf the king rehabilitates him,
you won't take revenge,
the alliance won't revolt, right?
What's wrong with you today?
Why did you defend the stupid king and the court?
l didn't. l want you to be a carefree hero
A hero must uphold justice,
kill corrupt officials and the stupid king for the people
To be a true hero,
l swear l will avenge my father
Miss Nine, are you alright?
You look pale. Are you unwell?
l have to go home
Go home?
You have never mentioned it before?
When will you go?
What's the hurry?
Miss Nine
l'm afraid we will never see each other again
Take care
Why did you say that?
Boss Cheng is here
You will come back
We will see a lot of each other
Miss Nine
An obsessional couple, 2 bold men
Xuansheng memoirs. Written by Cheng Benzhi
Who is Cheng Benzhi?
He was my brother. My name's Cheng Bengang
Chonghuan had stationed at the border for 1 0 years
His troops defended the gate
lt is my dad's story
lt is
My brother admired your father
Let me read it for you
Everyone was smart. Only officer Yuan was obsessive
Everyone loved money
Officer Yuan didn't
Everyone cherished his life
Officer Yuan didn't
No one wanted the difficult task
Officer Yuan did it
Everyone avoided suspicion
Officer Yuan didn't
No one could endure the hunger and cold
Officer Yuan endured it
Everyone stood on ceremony
Officer Yuan confided in his officers
He traveled 2 Municipalities
1 3 provinces with a shoulder pole
There will be no one as trustworthy as officer Yuan
So l'm willing to die for officer Yuan
Your brother was my father's soul mate
l'm grateful for his compliment
My brother didn't know your father at first
He was a civilian
He went to see your father 3 times
But they didn't meet because your father was busy
My brother joined commander's army
He worked hard
Commander took him in as a pupil
Your father was wronged and executed
My brother was angry
He wrote to the court to complain
His bluntness infuriated the stupid king
He ordered to kill my brother
Stupid king
My brother's dying words,
l can die for commander, l die without regret
l wish l can be buried beside commander's grave
lnscription on the headstone
An obsessional couple, 2 bold men
He can rest in peace
Did you do it?
Your father was wrong
The stupid king and disloyal courtiers said he was a traitor
People were ignorant
They believed their words
When your father was escorted to the place of execution,
they rushed up and bit him into pieces
They shouted that they would eat every traitor
ls it true, uncle Sun?
lt is
You were little then
We didn't tell you
We didn't want to upset you
The king was stupid. The courtiers were disloyal
Even the people in Beijing were stupid
They didn't know the truth
They believed the king's edict
We must kill all the enemy and the stupid king
Those people in Beijing should be hit 1 00 times
To teach them a lesson
My brother risked his life to follow commander Yuan
They lived and died together
From now on, l and Bamboo sect
will be at your service at all costs
Leader
General Li Yan is here
Brother Li Yan? Where is he?
He is with general Sun
Let's go Yes
General Li, the Leader is here
You came finally
The Leader has been looking forward to seeing you
Congratulations
You are the Leader of kung fu world of 7 provinces
They were kind to me
l have not much experience
l depend on your advice
You are a kung fu master
You are honest. You have people's interests at heart
You are the right candidate
Right...
You are modest, Leader Yuan
l have arranged accommodation for you, generals
Please have some rest first
Our Leader will give you a dinner of welcome tonight
Good... We will drink our fill
Why did you come too, Hui?
You are the Leader. l thought you would deny knowing me
Don't make fun of me
Where are Mrs An and Ximin?
Greeny took them to their accommodations
Come in
Look, Mrs An
lt may be a simple house
But l got you new blankets and quilts
lf the pillows are not comfortable, l will change them
Don't bother. l'm satisfied
You are thoughtful
No trouble...
lf l don't take good care of you,
Yuan will say l'm incompetent
You are sensible and lovely
Chengzhi is lucky
My ma praised you
She's never praised me
Look who is here, ma
l wish you well, Mrs An
Chengzhi
l always knew that you would have prospects
l was right. Now you are the Leader
The heroes flattered me
Come here, Miss Greeny
You are a nice couple
Miss Greeny is lucky
You must treat her well, Chengzhi
What's so funny, Ximin?
You should learn from Chengzhi
Be nice to Hui. Got it?
Don't worry
The court raised the land tax
People fled their homes
Officers regarded them as tramps and bandits
They were arrested and tortured
Heavy taxes and forced labor
You are right, general Li
We experienced all of them
Officers are greedy and cruel
People can't survive
Ming Dynasty is a world
where people are forced to become criminals
The court can't pay the army
Troops can't get their pay
They are starving
Many of them sold their weapons
Some of them sold their wives and children
General Li told you the truth
My troops haven't got their full pay for years
l asked the court
They made excuses or ignored me
l feel bad about it
Ming's days are numbered
All heroes gathered here
are honorable men of kung fu world
How can you not comply with God's will?
Let's help King Rush achieve the great cause
Your words made me see the light
A man must have some achievements
We discussed it during the feast
There are 6 to 7 thousands people in Tai Shan
They have never been organized before
ln my opinion, from now on
they will be divided into 3 camps
and trained by general Sun, general Zhu and chief Shui
They can achieve something big if they are well trained
You are thoughtful
lt's a great day
King Rush has a new army
l discussed it with others
Near the boundary of Zhi and Lu
There is a deserted forest
Officers of both provinces take no notice of it
lt's a good place to camp and train our troops
You are right
Fellows
King Rush's subordinates, Kings Heng, Gai, Zuo, Luan
Each of them is the leader of a camp
Now you have 3 new camps
You should give it a great name, right?
Yes, a great name will make it famous
How about Tai Shan camp?
lt's not great ...
When we left Tai Shan,
can we still use the name Tai Shan camp? No...
Leader was the son of commander Yuan
What about Shan clan camp?
lt's alright if the name is used between us
We need a greater name for the public
What do you mean, General Sun?
Commander Yuan was loyal to Ming Dynasty
He was wronged but he never revolted
Our young master has complied with God's will
He will avenge commander and revolt
But we don't want commander to be regarded as a rebel
so we shouldn't use Shan clan's name
You are right
Let's think of some other names
l have a name
Tell me what you think?
Golden Snake camp
Leader Yuan uses the powerful Snake sword
And he is Golden Snake's pupil
Golden Snake camp is a suitable name
Good. Ours is Golden Snake camp
Golden Snake camp is a great name...
Report
A sentry downhill sent an urgent message
Qing's army invaded Qingzhou
They are advancing on Taian. About 200 km from here
Please tell us what to do
lt...
My dad devoted his life to fighting Qing's army
Now they are coming to us
We will teach them a lesson
General Sun, general Li, l don't know tactics
Please give them orders
l can't. General Sun and general Zhu were commander's subordinates
They know Qing's army better
They should be the commanders of this battle
Chief Shui, you are an experienced officer. Please advise us
General Zhu and general Sun will be the commanders
My men and l will obey your orders
All right
General Sun, general Zhu, give the order
Send 1 0 spies to investigate Qing's army
Report to us asap
Yes
Qing's army can't breach the defences of Beijing
They keep attacking Hebei and Shandong
Their king knows tactics
He sent his army to Hebei and Shandong
Not to capture the place
but to kill people and ruin our country's strength
When we are exhausted,
he will capture Beijing
When he attacked Bejing years ago,
he was defeated by commander Yuan
His troops were almost annihilated
He didn't attack Beijing because he was frightened
Qing's army have been attacking Hebei and Shandong for years
They advance with crushing force
Ming's army has never won a battle
Qing's army look down on our army
An army puffed up with pride is bound to lose
We can use the chance to defeat them
Let's discuss the details
Send my order, assemble everyone
There is only a lane between Jinyang Gate
We can lie in ambush there
Chief Shui
Yes
Take 2,000 troops in officer's uniform
You are the van
Yes, general
When you encounter Qing's army,
you have to lose, not to win
What do you mean, Leader?
Your job is to lure them in
Don't worry. You won't be trapped by Qing's army
Leader will send master Jiao and Gold Dragon to help you
Yes, Leader
Boss Sha, take your Shandong's men
to wait in ambush besides Jinyang Gate
Attack them when you see the Leader's signal
l will kill the enemy
But you are injured...
l'm fine
Okay
Take your men and attack them from the right
Yes, Leader
Boss Cheng
l have recovered
l can lead Bamboo's men to kill the enemy
Good
Boss Cheng and Bamboo's fellows
will come with me, general Sun and general Zhu
We will attack them from the left
We will attack them from both sides when they come
Yes, Leader
lt's perfect
General Liu and l will lead other heroes
to attack Qing's army's rear
Thanks for your help
Remember
Listen to the Leader's order
No move without authorization
When you see the flag, charge at Qing's army
Kill them all
Leader will win...
Retreat...
Hurry
Boss Jiao
Qing's army is charging at us
Qing's army is coming
Attack them. Kill them
